      Good afternoon Tracey, from Lizella, Ga. in the good ole USA. I will be gone all day Sunday and was wandering if I will be able to view your Q & A when I return? OOH! I sure hope so.

      I love your channel, I love your designs, your romantic dresses, & Bertie ! I wouldn't watch the travelling show you were asking about. It's been done many times and never lasts, as far as I have ever known. It's just boring, you're not boring, the shows I've watched like that were boring. I haven't seen any recently but then again I no longer watch main stream tv like HGTV, etc.
      I'll definitely be watching you on this channel! (Love your office space)

    This was a well done and thought through Q&A segment.
    Now that I know how you also make money on your channel, I just let the commercials run their course 😂
    I also could never picture Tracy angered, such humility and poise, a great instructor, and I could listen to her again and again😊
    A job well done, and I'm looking forward to more Q&A as you spoke so very well. Your accent also brings out your work more🤭
    Keep up the good work, and yes, you put out your brand, and we will be there to support it all the way.

    Just a suggestion: Spoonflower. You can design any fabric, wallpaper or whatever and upload to Spoonflower at no charge to you. Things are only printed when people order them. I buy lots from them. You do not need to grow your channel before you do it , you have 76K of us already. You could show your designs on here and probably 100 people would order when the video came out. Or 98 because Diane in Florida and Gloria (me) in Illinois would order first.

    Hi Tracy,
    I absolutely love curling up and watching another episode of Rural Refurb and sometimes re-watching just to relax and unwind.
    Loving your Q & A and had to smile when you said your hubby has no social media presence as neither does mine.
    I think our hubby's must have been separated at birth because for all the same reasons my hubby is incognito 😁
    I have always decorated just like you with charity shops, freebies and shopping my home too.
    We're saving the planet as well as our cash .
    Thankyou so much for making my rest time truly a pleasure and inspirational .

    Well that was a lot of fun! Thank you❤️ I loved the story about Berdie , hope I spelled it correctly😊. I just love your home, your yard, the guest house and all the different refurbished items and ideas you give us. I live in Michigan and I have a couple different hydrangeas. One is the strawberry and cream, then the big leaf hydrangeas. I did forget the other one. I have 4 of them and this year I only got one pink bloom on two of the bushes. I’m going to have to do some research as to way they won’t bloom. The bush is beautiful and a lighter leaf than the rest. This year I got some new spray paints and been having some fun spray painting them . Thank you for that idea Tracy. I even went into the garage and took a can of my husbands gray primer spray paint🤣. I do think I’m going to get more cans of pastel colors. See you next video♥️

    Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to share a little of your fascinating background story with all of us. I appreciated your comments on being a woman who values her family and put them foremost in her future goals. In today’s world family seems to have taken a backseat to all else. Once again thank you for sharing your standards, as women we need to hear that it is okay to be a woman and our role as women is just as important as any role. I am new to you tube watching and enjoy watching your videos most of all as you have a wonderful presence about you and are a natural. I believe that if I or any of your other viewers had the opportunity to meet you in person that you would be just as open and friendly and that we would feel comfortable in talking with you. I have two questions but wasn’t able to get on in time. What is your advice in how to decorate but not overdo it? You have the gift of knowing when just enough is just right. I am afraid I always seem to find so many lovely things to decorate with and sometimes go a little over board. Second question because I am just learning to navigate the world of social media I was wondering what other forms of media you utilize such as maybe instagram that I could follow you? I would love it if once in awhile you shared a seasonal recipe. Once again thank you for allowing us to see into a bit of your life and helping us your viewing audience feel like we are friends and family and not just followers. Eagerly awaiting to see your next video. Hugs to Bertie .

    I really enjoyed this Q&I. My home is far more modest than yours but I always get inspiration from watching you that I can adapt to fit in here. I know you want to grow but many of the people I used to follow I no longer do as their channels are more adverts for products. I love the style of yours.

      Ah yes there are many different business models on UA-cam. Be assured that if I ever do advertise anything it will only be because I truly love it and use it I my own home😊

    Thank you for your lovely videos and your Q&A. You are right! It builds a community, and an authentic community is missing these days. I am sad you didn't share your age; many mature ladies need the spirit of adventure to know that life is full of opportunity no matter our age, even when we feel we are past it!! Oh well! Bertie is fantastic, and you are very blessed to have a talent like yours!

    Hello my friend , I would like to express my appreciation for letting us have a sneak peep into you and your wonderful family’s life. I was brought to tears when you were talking about your lab Ollie. What a lucky little guy he was to have such a wonderful mom like you. Now Bertie gets to be spoiled by you and your family. Let’s just be honest Bertie is absolutely adorable. I had a morkie 1/2 Yorkie 1/2 Maltese she was the love of our daily life, just like Ollie my little queen followed me everywhere as well. Lia was 17 years old when she passed and a part of me left with her. My heart was shattered. I realized I had the best 17 years of being a fur mommy. Sorry for the rant. Once again I would like to thank you for coming into my home on a weekly visit and showing, teaching and sharing your knowledge with us all. BTW, you looked absolutely beautiful today I loved your dress. Take great care!

    • @RuralRefurb

    Oh my. I loved this video! Thanks for sharing more about yourself. I especially enjoyed the history on the castle house. What a rich heritage! Please don't change your channel to baking and cooking, lol. Although I wouldn't mind bits and pieces of it, the channel is perfect right now. I haven't watched any episodes that I don't like. I would love to see you tour the country with Bertie :) and the shows that would accompany the tours. And just a heads up- if you ever come to Ohio, I would love to host you at my place and I would absolutely love to nab a few styling tips! Btw, have you ever considered giving tips to folks who would send pictures of their homes? (For a fee of course!)

    I didn't send in a question because i knew that what i would ask would be asked numerous times.. how you got started & if you had any degrees in interior design. Probably the 2 most asked questions Lol😄 I would have thought you had the professional background, some degrees or something.. but at the same time it didn't surprise me that you don't. I say that because the things you do are so unique, not by the book, not constant repeats of what everyone does. And.. that's one of the reasons i love watching you! Your uniqueness, always something different & not expected, not the same things we see everyone do! I love the Bertie story! And one question you answered i think is an awesome idea.. your own TV show or series!! YESSSS! 100 times yes! How awesome would that be?! There's a lady i steered following on IG about 5 or 6yrs ago that did her own reno's & DIY's in her own home. She started getting a large following, next thing you know she started a reno show on HGTV. It started out as just one 30min segment once a week for like 5 or 6wks(?).. like one season. Her ratings were so high she landed another season, then another..This is now her 3rd or 4th season! All from doing her own reno's on IG! YOU CAN DO IT! I have NO doubt it would be a hit.. we just want to be able to see it in the US😁 Seriously, with you uniqueness, there won't be another like yours! It would be awesome! And another great idea that I'm saying yes to... your own decor, linen or some type of your own brand! I mean Rae Dunn, Martha Stewart, all those ladies started somewhere!🤷‍♀️ And regardless if you stressed out with home decor or linens or whatever, i know it would do well! And the great bonus to it all.. your amazing sense of humor is as good as your talents!😄 And that's another thing, I'm sure, that keeps us all coming back.. you keep it interesting & fun at the she time! Never boring & always keeping us guessing at just what you're going to do next.. we never know! 😄 You're as good as any, so i say go for the gold! I think you a very determined & focused person & if you want either or both, you can make it happen and be successful! And I think everyone of your followers her and on IG & tiktok will agree with me.. and support you! Enjoyed the video today & learning more about you, its been interesting! Now i can't wait to see what the future holds! More of you awesome videos for sure😉😊

    Hi! I was so happy to hear about you and your family, not to mention Bertie. I have a golden lab and when you said “Bertie was three” I thought what? My Eugene is now four and he is strong as a tank. Not a good thing, really. The end of May, he knocked me off my feet and I ended up with a fractured knee and shoulder. People say he will grow up at 3, 4…..but I’m not sure. I think my Eugene needs some training. Thank you for the peek into your life, you are such a sweet person and I love your style. I’m on the other side of the pond in New Brunswick, Canada. 🇨🇦

    Tracy, by your comment, I gather it wouldn’t be possible to grow those gorgeous,lush hydrangeas here in the southern USA. That’s so disappointing because I was going to ask you details about them and possibly rooting some! I am a dog person-I just love dogs. But, Bertie, oh Bertie is another story! I am just in love (and have been from the first video) with Bertie! I hope he lives a long, long, long life and is your companion for many years to come. I am sad that you have decided on a twice monthly rather than a weekly schedule, but I certainly understand. Life just can’t be all WORK, there has to be time for family, pleasure, and even some time alone for personal interests. Enjoyed this video and thanks.

    Oh my goodness.. when you were talking about wanting to secure the name for your UA-cam channel... I saw the name Tracey Gill! You are not going to believe it, but Gill is my maiden name!!!! What a coincidence. BTW, I have no idea that letting the ads run and watching them all the way supports your channel. I will definitely make it a point to do that going forward. Tracey I had to laugh when you wouldn't tell your age. You can ask me my age any time, I'm 73, but don't ever ask me my weight!!!! Thats crossing a line haha Would love to see you add a recipe or mini cooking session... especially in a Christmas video!
