Hello sweet friends, thank you so much for watching! As spring is nearly arriving, I spent last week transforming a corner of my bedroom into my dream cozy victorian cottage mini library/reading nook. I have been wanting to do this makeover of this space for so long and it ended up turning out even better than I envisioned. I hope you enjoy the video as much as I did filming it. I love the little vintage touches with whimsy and romance. But I do think the floral wallpaper is my favorite part 😊

The blooper of Jared reading his proclamation KILLED ME
I was searching for this comment. 😅❤
Hahaha, I loved it too!
I could totally see my husband saying the same sort of thing! So cute & funny! 🤣🥰
Feel like my husband wrote that commandment 😂😂😂
I KNEW JARED WAS FREAKY!!! 😂😂
Lmao Jared's decree during the bloopers 💀
I wasn’t going to include it but Jared said it was funny 😅
It was hilarious 😂
I loved this inclusion! So funny. I love seeing these little moments between you two, it reminds me that love exists ❤
My husband calls it that too! I was surprised that another couple refers to it that way! But it was super sweet and funny 😊
@@carriefehrman5522 my husband does too, I thought he made it up lol
Your clip of saying you wanted to squeeze something and cutting away to your cat's surprised face was one of the best subtle comedic moments I've ever seen on UA-cam! Also - the book covers - it's like permanent gift wrap that you never have to take off!!! Happy March 1st to you!
Totally agree lol!
I came to the comments looking for this comment! I laughed out loud at that part 😂
I howled like a hyena at that part, especially the kitty's face of shock and horror.
Hahaha I’m glad you enjoyed it, I had too much fun editing that part 😅
MY NUMBER ONE UA-camR!! SO THANKFUL YOU CHOSE THIS CARREER FOR US TO BINGE WATCH DAILY ALL YOUR VIDEOS OLD AND NEW! WISH YOU MUCH HEALTH AND THANK YOU FOR THE BEAUTIFUL MOST CREATIVE WORK, DESI!
You are so incredibly kind!! Thank youuuuu!!!🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
I love this comment soooo much and agree 💯 ❤
Same! Lol ❤
I couldn't agree more! I literally have @darlingdesi playing nonstop in my office all day while I work!
Every time I watch your videos, it feels like a little candle is lit in my heart🥺🩷🌸
That’s just absolutely the nicest thing to say 🥹🫶🏻💗
Ohh thats soo sweet!!💕🥹
Thank you for helping me to reawaken a part of me that got so so so lost for nearly 4 years. You've inspired me to read again, imagine again, be a child again, and embrace my hobbies
That’s just about one of the best things you could say to me. That makes me so happy to hear 💗💗💗🫶🏻
@@DarlingDesiHonestly you definitely have re-ignited, inspired and influenced in a good meaningful way to many more people in different ways more than you could probably ever imagine. I am sure most of us watching in some way have been impacted in a positive way by your beautiful soul and your inspirational videos. You’re of my favorite influencer we have so very much in common interests! I am another impacted greatly by your beautiful persona & content. You have inspired me to remember who I used to be before marriage & motherhood, now making time to rekindle my old hobbies like reading, writing poetry, painting, my hunger for knowledge continue learning history & French language, vintage hunt sourcing dressing up being my girly self just because, etc. (I have been slowly finding healing my lost self inner child long forgotten for the past 12yrs) your content and my current circumstances found each other in such a fine tuned time perfectly together, together ignited the spark I needed for change & healing! and for this I thank you! ❤
Greetings from Greece dear Desi! You are my favourite UA-camr! I'm 52 years old, mom of two adults sons and of a daughter in high school. My sweet daughter, Michaela, told me about you, and since then I feel so thankful every time you upload a video! Thank you!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Hello same here but from France haha. I m a 51 mom and discovered this channel thanks to my daughter. I m so grateful for these beautiful videos 😊
Aww thank you for sharing that! And thank you so much for being here and for watching! 🥹🫶🏻💗
I’m 56 and I watch binge watch Desi’s videos too. I live vicariously through her since my young adult life was 😢. You’re never too old to dream and start to make the changes in your life to live the life you wanted in your youth. ❤
What a lovely way to start the first day of March! Your reading nook is gorgeous!!
Thanks Celine!! 🥹🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
The Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler is SUCH a childhood classic! I read it so many times as a kid.
My daughter read it in school!! Classic!!
Yes, such an adventure! I've been meaning to add it to my physical library, but this made me get the audiobook in the meantime! 😍💕
It is excellent! One of my childhood favorites. Others you might like are "The Cat Who Wished to be a Man", "Mara, Daughter of the Nile", and "Castledown", by Joyce Ballou Gregorian
It was my absolute favorite!
My mom read this book to me 🩵 special memories
The Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler was my FAVORITE book as a kid. It's SO GOOD!
Me too -loved that book.
I now want to redo my entire life not just my bookshelf to capture these vibes 💛💛💛
Highly recommend doing it! You can find so many amazing decor pieces at thrift stores and facebook marketplace 👌🏻
Jared helping you with all your projects is just so wholesome. 😢🥹
He’s truly the best 🥹
I was in a bridgerton mood and then Desi posted! My happiness level is immeasurable now......💌💌
🥰🫶🏻♥️
Everyone ready for the new Bridgerton this May!? ❤❤❤
Yes love bridgerton
OMG you are going to LOVE from the mixed up files!! it's about 2 kids who run away to live in the MET museum, and the whimsy and art and shenanigans made an indelible impact on my childhood. one of my favorite books!
Came here to say just this!
Second both above❤
Yes!!! :) Making me want to re-read it after all these years!
Awesome find! She will love it!!!
Same…. My absolute favorite as a child ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You're back to your core! Was missing victorian era vibes from you!
Ahhh me tooooo!! It’s been a bit hard renting a fully furnished house. Been definitely missing my bedframe and secretary desk! We’re moving this summer and will finally be in a place that we can fully furnish and decorate!
wow! To think that you’re moving and you put so much love into creating your reading nook. I’m impressed!
Desi if you don't mind me prying a bit, why do yall move so much?
Ohhh thats so good to know! Even I feel excited how the new place is going to be!
This is so perfect! And perfect timing because today is the first day of meteorological Spring! I've been binge watching Bridgerton and your Spring and Summer videos for weeks. This video is the icing on the cake.
Love bridgerton
Oh Darling desi, how i wish we could be friends in real life. Your videos speak to my heart the person you are brings a kindness and gentleness to my life that i only realize is missing when i see your new videos pop up. To have a friend like minded and wonderful as you is a blessing even just over the internet. I could picture going to eachothers house having tea and reading in spring time. Swapping books from our personal libraries, leaving little notes in books for eachother to find later, running through meadows of flowers. i have no one i can really be myself around, or that feeds and enjoys that part of me that wishes she was in a classic novel. So that part of me often gets pushed down deep. Your videos make me feel seen thank you so much! i will forever watch your channel over and over! With all the love and admiration - A kindred spirit finding her way💛
P.s My birthday is march 5th ill be 30 and plan to try and make it a day to be as me as i can be and feed my soul with what it craves. An anne of green gables day if you will
The little book show-and-tell at the end was magnificent! What a lovely way to end such a cozy video. Thank you!
I’m glad you enjoyed it! Jared edited that whole section and I love how it turned out 💗
Desi the nook is adorable and so cozy!! 🌷💕💖 I also just can never get over how kind and supportive Jared is! Bless you both
Yes a dream man does he have any older brother
@@katarinasvensson9801He has 3 older brothers but they’re all taken 😅
He is the most incredible human 💗
@@DarlingDesi typical haha
COSY VIBES, DON'T YOU EVER CHANGE
🥰🫶🏻
Here I sit under blankets to tired to read or knit or anything, recovering from surgery and so I am given this lovely, happy video and I feel much better after the first two seconds of watching it, most probably I will be cured before the end. Thank you for beautifying this world by spreading your special light!
Every time I watch your videos, I feel like you're a princess in the Victorian era. Love you ❤
That so nice of you to say! Thank you!! 💗💗💗
The book From the Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler is one of my favorites! ❤ and I first read it as an adult. Somehow missed it growing up. But my daughters just loved it and I occasionally reread it. Classic! Who doesn’t want to live in the Metropolitan Museum in NY?
Another MAGICAL mini film, Desiree! ☺️👏🏻 You always make every video that you produce, no matter the subject, evoke warm and cozy vibes while also inspiring us to be passionate and excited about life! 🥹♥️ 💐 📚
Thanks mom!! 🥰
You are indeed Darling... really enjoy your delightful combination of goofiness and brilliance- always uplifting and beautifully created.
Thank you 🥰♥️🫶🏻
The blooper reel was so funny and charming! I’d love to see more of those ❤
I’m glad you enjoyed it 🥰 I’ll try to include more in the future!
She’s living my dream life Istg: cats, cottagecore themed house, iconic partner, AND a book nook😭✨
The Mixed up Files of Ms Basil E Frankwiler! Definitely a favorite! Can't wait for you to read it!
I'm SO happy to see the books with the spine out (and not the pages out)! Yay!! SO PRETTY!!! Thanks for the inspo!
Oh trust me, we have other bookshelves with the pages out! It all depends on the vibe that I’m going for in a specific space. For my room, all the spring spines matched nicely with the colors in the room (no black or grey spines) 👌🏻
Happy belated Birthday. I have to admit, I've never been a reader, but watching you, has peaked my interest, just the titles have gotten my attention. And come on, we couldn't sit and read all day in a book nook like what you've created, it's beyond lovely.
Thank you so much for the birthday wishes! Honestly I went years without reading because I think university kinda ruined it for me. But it just took the right book (a random thriller that I picked up while riding the subway in Seoul) to get me back into reading and change my life so much for the better 🥰
Your videos wrap me in comfort with warmth, sweetness, and tranquility. Each time I press play, a unique joy fills my heart, lifting my spirits! your gentle content brightens my mood like a warm embrace on a cold day! your delightful character radiates, illuminating the screen with authenticity and charm. And your presence feels like a trusted friend sharing a heartfelt conversation, making me feel connected! Please continue to share your beautiful content, we support you 🌸✨
Oh I am so excited and happy, the first spring video yay. It’s officially spring now🌷🥰🌸🌿
Yesterday the air smelled like springtime 🥹 It’s almost here!
❤ my favorite youtuber ! It makes my whole day when i get to watch a new desi video my 4 year old watched it with me then asked to read books with me 😊
That is so incredibly kind of you to say! Thank you so much for watching 🥹🥰🫶🏻💗
Omg I need that frog mug
Exactly ❤ it!
first day of spring and Desi posts best start of spring ever!!!!!!!🌷
🥰🌷🧺🐝🫶🏻💕
Yay!! New Spring video❤ Ive been rewatching all your previous Spring and Summer videos lately. Especially love the ones with book/tv/movie recommendations.
I have a new spring starter pack coming in the next week or so with lots of new recommendations so stay tunnned 🥰
😍ohhh looking forward to it! I just recently got the same crochet mushroom hair bandana. It’s so cute with your braids! Love that idea.
Desi, you truly live the life of a princess 💫🌷
Ahhh definitely not most aspects of my life, but thank you! 💗🫶🏻
Love this little nook! So important we have a cozy spot to unwind in and divulge into that world of literature and imagination 🥰📚
Happy Belated, Birthday!! Spoil yourself, Desi…. You deserve it! 🎂
How wonderful and cozy your reading corner has become. Fairytale-like! 🩷🌷🌹
Greetings and love from Uta from Germany
💗💗💗
I've got about a dozen Little Free Libraries within walking distance of my house (including our own!) and I know where each one is by heart although we do keep a list of addresses, which we print copies of to put in ours. It's so fun finding new ones we didn't know about. One of them is built into the stump of a tree and it has a cute little roof on it and a small door in the side where a gnome lives.
Also...you are allowed to take more than one book you know. You didn't have to leave Despereaux behind if you wanted it.
You should have millions of subscribers, you absolutely deserve it! The Queen of Aesthetics!❤
That is so kind of you to say 🥹 That means so much. Thank you!! 🫶🏻
Always here to recommend Tove Jansson's works to you, Desi, and all your audience! ❤ Love your videos and style, and the books would be a delightful sight in you book nook!
I feel like a nice spring-themed craft could be transforming that armchair by sewing a fitted sleve/cover so you can change the vibe between seasons. It could be fun to try!
I can't even!!! everything about this video, from the floral wallpaper to that gorgeous pink jumper you're wearing, makes my heart soar!🥺🌸
That means so much!! I’m so happy you enjoyed it! Thank you 🥹💗💗💗💗 (and the jumper is from Grey Bandit! 🫶🏻)
As a girl who loves to read. This is what I needed . Thank you
Thank you for watching! 💗💗
this is just the absolute cutest video Desi! I love it! and the bloopers at the end had me WHEEZING!
Thank you!! 😅 I debated whether I should include Jared’s little clip but thought it was too relatable to not include 😂
I LOVE HER AESTHETIC SOOOO MUCH❤❤❤❤ AWWW SHE IS SO ADORABLE AND PRODUCTIVE AND PRETTY AND NICE ❤❤❤
Finished Ready or Not a few days ago and absolutely loved it! My husband is listening to the audiobook now. So far he’s liking it.
Aww yay I’m so so glad you enjoyed it! 💗💗
OMG the green with the floral wallpaper is so pretty! Very cottagecore. Friendly note, spiders are an important part of nature, but I hate finding them in my house too, so maybe consider the glass and paper technique to toss them outside. They keep the other bugs under control in the summer which is always a plus! Enjoy your cosy book nook!
We usually try to do that, but where this one was on a ceiling was too high for either of us to reach, unless with the fly swatter 🙁 And sadly Binx had an extremely swollen and puss filled toe the other day and the vet thinks it was some kind of spider bite. So for now, the spiders can stay outside 🌳
Aww. Don’t kill spiders 😢. Just put it outside
🕸🕷💕
You uploaded this on my birthday!! 😊 It always makes me so happy to see a new upload from you, but now it feels extra special!
Have you thought about reading the Bible? Do you ever thirst for knowledge when it comes to reading?
Bro stop
What does that have to do with her video?
I know it's still winter, but this makes me so excited for spring! I love your spring content just as much as your fall content. 💐🌷🪻⚘️🌱🌿
Meteorological spring begins March 1st!! 🌷🐝🧺🪴✨
I feel like we’re on a regency FaceTime with every video! You have such a wonderful eye for all things cottagey and cozy! The color palettes and textures go so nicely together! Love ya girl! 🔅🫶
I have already been rewatching all of your spring videos to get ready for spring and thank you for another one ❤️🌷
Desi, I saw one of your videos "Books to Read if You Love Jane Austen." I loved that you LOVE Jane Austen. I totally love Jane, too! I'm not sure if you'd see my comment under the Jane video, so I decided to put it here. First, congratulations on your upcoming move to the UK! I’m a huge nerd and Jane Austen fan. I decided to read all six of Jane's books this last summer. I just absolutely love the characters. I decided to write a song about a character from each novel, turning it into a six-song EP album. I wanted to give it a twist. I decided to only use instruments that existed during the Regency Era. I called the album "Love, Jane." I didn't shoot for a genre, but my mom said that it seems like a mix between classical music and pop! I have actually been invited to perform at Chawton House on Jane Austen’s birthday this December! I don’t have the money to fly to the UK from San Diego, but will be performing on Zoom. I’m so excited! In the meantime, I'm reaching out to Jane Austen fans one-at-a-time, trying to get some attention for the album. Yeah, I'm broke from paying to have it produced, so I'm basically knocking on doors, shaking people by their shoulders, saying, "Hey, can you listen to my album!" Ha, ha. Here is one song I want you to hear. This is song is based upon Persuasion and is called, "Half Agony, Half Hope." Here is the link: open.spotify.com/track/0N5eWY5pwlO5QmvWlsVkeV?si=ba1392d1dd5b4d9f As for the album, it is on all platforms. Can you help spread the word for an impecunious college student?
That was such a sweet and joyful video ! Thank you so much Desi for sharing this with us and doing such an amazing work with the filming and the editing !
DESI! Jared is the best! The Way of Kings is such a good book!!! I can't wait for you to read it!
I love it when you decorate or redecorate your home. You have great ideas! It turned out gorgeous!
Okay wait spring videos are the best. So many good books! Cozy and bright at the same time! Thank you for taking the time to make your videos a piece of art!
the book tour at the end is so beautifully done! It’s so playful with the music, oh I love it!
I'm always so grateful when you post! Thank you for bringing a little sparkle to all of the seasons
Oh my gosh the books/book covers you have for spring are absolutely gorgeous!!! 😍
this turned out to be a masterpiece 🥺 thankyou for documenting it.
I LOVE it! The only thing I would have changed was the color of the bookshelf. I would’ve painted it in the same green color as the boards
I thought of doing that! But we’ll be moving this summer and figured it would be easier for the bookshelf to find a new home if it remained white.
Aww where are you all moving to this summer ??
SO MUCH decoration inspiration!!!! Your spring nook is gorgeous!!!!
And now I have another project to complete - my very own cozy spring and summer reading nook! Thanks for sharing, Desi!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this! Such a cozy little reading nook. So many pretty books. Blessings.
Feeling so ready for spring! This is exactly what I needed to kick off March, THANK YOU DESI !!!💐🌸🌺🌼🌷🌱
Your videos are always so beautiful and uplifting. Thank you for working so hard to make a light respite for those of us who really need it. 🌻
I love your home and how cozy and book-filled it is! This inspires me to redecorate my library and make it more cozy!!
Your videos fill my heart with warmth!
The Paper Palace is soooooo good!! I didn't know anything about it, just saw the cover at my library and instantly picked it up. It's an amazing story!!
You are honestly such an inspiration, the amount of thought and creativity that goes into the editing, music, colours is soso impressive. You manage to set an entire mood with your storytelling and visuals, and I aspire to one day be able to do the same. Lots of love from the other side of the world
Thank you so so much! That means the world to hear. As a creator that’s the best compliment I could receive 🥹🫶🏻
The greatest idea for spring magic in reader’s room✨Thank you so much,Desi🩶
the start of the spring season is marked by desi posting her first spring-themed video 🥹🥹 i love these videos so so much!! 🤍🤍
I love you Desi!! Thank you for all you do! 🩷
I get super excited every time you post a new video. You're also one of the only people whose videos I watch over and over. Happy Spring!🐇🪻

What a beautiful, cozy reading nook! I loved all the pastels and especially the panelling with the pretty wallpaper. You and Jared did an excellent job! 🥰

That sounds so cute! Thank you for the recommendation 🥰

Excited!!!! 😍😍😍
Your videos are definitely my favorite. So inspiring , relaxing and just make me want to make my life as beautiful. Your videos are so beautifully made. Thanks for all the thought and detail you put into this. God bless you and your hubby❤
The bookshelf flippy thingy at the end was so creative and unique! The effort and creativity that goes into every one of your videos does not go unnoticed. I’m in love with your booknook! Thank you for sharing this with us! 🤍
EEEEK you MUST keep going with Throne of Glass!! TRUST ME! It's my favorite series I've ever read. Things definitely pick up and the characters' stories are just incredible.❤
Witch of blackbird pond and mixed up files were two of my favorites growing up. I still love them.
The COOLEST compilation there at the end with all of the feature books. In addition to the obvious love you put into the content, your videos are always full of cinematic masterpiece. Thank you for today's dose of inspiration!
