A house tour of my new home in the French countryside
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 вер 2024
- In this video, I'll take you on a journey through the transformation of my new home in the French countryside. Six months ago, I filmed a house tour to capture the charm and character of the space when I first moved in. Now, it’s time to review that old footage and show you the exciting changes I’ve made along the way. From subtle updates to bigger renovations, you’ll get a glimpse of how my vision for this beautiful home is coming to life. Let’s dive into the before-and-after and see how far the house has come this past year.
After revisiting the old tour, I'll take you on a fresh walkthrough of the house to show you some highlights in real time. From kitchen updates to the crazy renovations we've been living with upstairs, you’ll get an up-close look at the vintage countryside home with a ton of charm. I can’t wait to share how this dream home has evolved, and I hope it inspires anyone watching to create their own perfect space.
Thank you a million to my sweetheart husband who labored intensely making this video happen. Check out his channel: @BeneaththeSurfaceYT.
And to my youngest son for his videography support. :) (He also has his own channel! @Skymography)
And to my oldest son for paving the way on UA-cam. :) You can find him here: @nathanieldrew.

Isn’t she just a natural???? 😍
She is. We are loving this channel, Ceci, keep it up!
born to be doing this, I was smiling the whole video cause she just radiates happiness and it's so nice to see that♥
I'd say the opposite. I am sure she'll relax in the future videos and I will keep watching, because I like this couple and I believe they are smart, talented and truly interesting people. But in this video, Cecil is a bit "trying too hard, too happy, too much". Not genuine at all. Again, I still like the content and I am very much looking forward to the other videos. Cecil is a wonderful designer with an acute eye for how things should be placed in a space. I admire her vision. Will definitely watch more of the videos and already am anticipating great things to come. My only advice is please relax and be yourself. You are a wonderful, beautiful, smart, talented, super cute woman. You are admirable and full of grace - no need to try anymore!
Thank you 😘!!!!
Ella es maravillosa y auténtica!
You are so light and happy. Its good to see. Your husband is a lucky man.
@@kinbailey310 I am indeed 😁❤️
Wow, thank you!! You are so kind! I am a very lucky lady as well 😁. I am grateful for it all, so many wonderful (hard too) but incredible experiences! I super appreciate your support!!!
Cecilia has come out of her shell with her own channel.
@@daisy9910 Cecilia was never in a shell. She’s always been a woman to be reckoned with.
@@Ana-Maria-Sierra never said she wasn't. Weird flex.
Hello, I wouldn't say I was in shell, as I am not a shy person, I just didn't give social media much attention as I know very well how demanding it can be and I protect my time and energy. But I am now compelled to share what we are doing, as I have a clear path on what is my purpose on doing this channel :) Thank you for the support, I really appreciate it :)
Hello, I so appreciate the kind words and the belief, I would agree I was not in a shell, but now I have a clear purpose to do this. All we do in life has a purpose, that I value greatly, the goal is to know myself better and better, and be the most authentic possible. Thank you for the support!
@@Ana-Maria-Sierra That was my first thought . Cecilia was amazing from the get-go.
I love that Cecilia‘s true genuine love for designing and decorating came through, as well as her personality..
Thank you so much!!! trying my best to not hold back :) Thanks for the support!
You are so talented! I love everything you've done to the house. It looks incredibly cozy and full of charm. Great job!
Omg, you are so kind, I have a long way to go, but at least we are functional and comfortable, but dying to see it all come together eventually. Lots to share. Thank you so much for the support and sweet comment❤️
I just subscribed. I am excited to follow you on your exciting journey….love your enthusiasm!!🤸🏼♀️
@@joycemcgee2226…go back to their pervious posts, especially Beneath the Surface. You will love them even more.
Hi Cecilia my name is Julie. This transformation is AMAZING! Your vision is incredible. I find it inspirational to watch you and the excitement in your eyes. God bless your new home that it may bring you years of joy and peace.
Wow, I love that you enjoyed the video and feel inspired by it. I am so touched, as it is important to me to leave a positive impact in this crazy social media world. I super appreciate the support!!! More to come :)
You are adorable and I love your style. I'm really looking forward to your future videos. 🥰
Omg, Thank you so much!! You are the best! I am grateful you enjoyed it! So much to do so many projects, I can’t wait to see it evolve too! Thank you also for the kind compliments :)
Hi Cecilia and Josh! When I stumbled on your website when you were in the US, I knew this was going to be fun! You are both interesting, quirky and full of surprises. What a great team, and it does take teamwork. I admire your patience and diligence. Cecilia, you are a true artist, beautiful inside and out. Both of your personalities have been shining through the struggles. Truly your videos have been both entertaining and instructional. Thank you for your willingness to share your lives with me. God bless you both. And of course, your two lovely sons as well. ❤ Cecilia, I know this is your channel and from here on I will address you. But today, I needed to share my thoughts with both of you! Life is truly a journey and a process!
Wow, thank you so much!!!! I am so touched and so grateful. We had not idea what to expect, Josh of course has done an incredible josh on showing the journey as real as possible. I started this channel now to give my own voice, a creative outlet where I also share my perspective on what is it like to move to a new country and live life to the fullest, it is not always easy, but worth it, life has the best surprises when we play:) .
She is lovely❤and impressive
Thank you so much :) ❤️
Pure Perfection!
Awww, that is so nice!!! Thank you so much for the support!!!
Cecilia you have such a good eye for detail and such exquisite taste. It is exiting to see what you come up with next. You sparkle with ideas and you are just adorable. Has anybody ever said no to you ? You definitely are the star of your lovely family ! ❤❤❤
OMG, you are so sweet and kind with such loving comment! Thank you so much! I so appreciate the support! wishing you all the best and much love back to you ❤️
I love the bougie French decoration style. And I love your bohemian dress style
Thank you! I love your language, i think that’s a great way to describe it :) thank you so much for the support! And the sweet compliment ❤️
@@AnArtistsLifeYTLove your boho dress style too….. esp your delightful white shirts . Could you link where you buy them , or even devote a video to your personal style details etc ? You are very gifted xx
You are adorable Cecilia. Glad I met you on UA-cam through your son and husband. I love a good house renovation.
Awwww, wow, thank you for the complements, I am glad too that you found us all :) I appreciate the support!!!
You look so beautiful, and happy!! I am beyond excited to see the creative evolution of your new country home.
Weren't this couple in Portugal first? She is very good at design and art.
Thank you so much!!! you are very kind with the compliments❤️
Ha ha ha, that was a long time ago, thanks for the kind words!!!
Everyone has said all my thoughts, such a great eye. You're a true artist!
AWWWW, you are so kind!!! what a sweet message, thank you so much for the support!!!!
You are so cute and enthusiastic, I love your vlogs!Your home is looking lovely.
Thank you so much, so much to do still, I so appreciate the support!!!! and kind words :)
You are doing an amazing job making this house your new home !
Thank you so much! It is so important to me to create a space that feels like home, that feels like is a reflection of our souls. That takes time but slowly it will happen :) I super appreciate the support!!!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us! Your style is so gorgeous and I'm excited to see more.
Thank you so much!!! You are so sweet!!! More to come!!!! I so appreciate the support!!
Great job on your first video, Cecilia. I loved it!
Thank you so much!! I super appreciate the support!!!!
... Dear Cecilia, I've seen you in several of your son's & husband's videos and was always impressed of your vibrant energy & artistic talent... I'm so happy for you to have started your own channel (🍀❣️) and also so happy to watch that you look like renewed, so much younger than in the videos I've already seen... Your powerful personality shines out of the face of an enthusiastic girl... Wonderful to watch & I look forward to your next videos... 🙋♀️Greetings from Crete... 🤗💞💪
Thank you so much! what a wonderful warm message, you are so sweet!!
... 😘
I can't wait for more! Love your artistry and design.
Thank you so much! you are so sweet!!! thanks for the support and kind words!!!
You're adorable! You seem so happy there!
Thank you!! 😊 It is nice to be near my children and in a lovely quiet home. Much gratitude for all that :) Thank you for the support!!!!
As I sit here, looking around at all the unfinished projects, you are an inspiration for getting things done. It feels overwhelming at times, but your beautiful results are helping me to focus a little better. Thanks so much for sharing your creativity!!
I hear you! I know the feeling! Don’t worry, it will get done. The best thing is to do a little as often as you can. Put on a good podcast, get organized the best way possible. I feel working with the necessary tools in a practical box with easy access makes doing projects more fun! And when you are not into the project, put things away, clean up the area and let it call you when you are ready and feel like doing it! I appreciate your comment and kind sharing! You have my support too :)
You are fearless! What a beautiful home!
Ha ha, trying to, without killing my sweet husband. Kidding aside, my goal is to make it as cozy and creative as possible, but that takes time and many rounds, but on my way :) Thank you so much for the support!!!
Looking forward to join your journey, you are gorge❤❤❤
Thank you so much!! you are so sweet!!! I am blushing :) thanks for the support!!!
It's really a great transformation, 👍 👌
Thanks a million 😊 I appreciate the support!!!
You are incredibly talented! It feels like you’ve been a UA-camr for years. ✨✨✨
Thank you so much!! Ha ha ha, after my husband started his channel I had to learn to not let the camera get in my way of being myself, so now I don't even think it, I just talk to you all as if you were there :) but lots to learn still 😁 Thank you for the support!!!
Love love love watching you and Josh on your new life journey from your travels to your home decor designing. You are a great inspiration and i can not wait to see more ❤
Thank you so much! Lots to come!!!! I can't wait to share, and thanks for the support!!!
Absolutely beautiful!
Thank you so much! I am so appreciative of the love :)
Great video! 😁
I can’t😊!! 🤗You and your wife put a smile on my face😊thank😅
Blessings 💜💜💜
@@Elsa_318 Haha, awesome! ❤️
Thank you so much for your amazing support!!!!
Hello beautiful people, thank you for inviting us inside your home!
Cecilia, your enthusiasm is infectious!!! For me, a couple of things are stand-outs: the herringbone flooring and the round table in the kitchen. What a brilliant spot to enjoy a morning coffee and start the day! I am looking forward to seeing the future making of a beautiful home. À bientôt!
Wow, what a warm message, you are so kind, I am so glad you are liking some of the choices. lots and lots of projects coming, and in more depth, it really takes time and many rounds to make a space work, thanks for the support!!!!
Wow! What a home!!!!
Thank you so much!!! you are so nice to say that :) Thank you for your support!
The random pans to the dog are great! Such a cute baby:)
I'll pass the message to my sweet husband, who does all the filming, and my sons too, they both help here and there :) Thank you so much for the great support!!!
You are taking a very nice house and making it a GREAT house. Also love your enthusiasm!
Oh thank you! you are so sweet to say that!!! That is the goal, I let the house tell me who she is and I try my best to make happen :) I super appreciate the support!!!
You are just so precious 💖 😅I look forward to seeing all your videos. Much love ❤️ from South Africa 🇿🇦
Awwww, you are too :) thank you so much!!! I so appreciate the support!!!
Talent + taste + craft + pattern and color appreciation + vision + dyi + understanding light. Fantastic!
Wow, thank you! You are mazing, so kind with your comment! thank you:)!!! I appreciate the support!!!
Does it rain there as much as in Oregon? I love what you are doing with the house! You are so talented. I can’t wait to see what comes next
Hello!!! yes it rains a lot, particularly this year. houses here don't have sprinkler systems for reference. I personally love rain, so I am super happy about it, but with that comes all the necessary always having gutters clean and moss removed from the roof, etc. Thank you so much for the kind complement!!! I have a long way to go, so much to come :)
You are too gorgeous, Cecilia, your enthusiasm is super contagious and the way you say 'it's a secret' with a sparkle in your eye... no wonder Josh said it's your happy place and your zone of genius. All the best with those finds. Looking forward to coming along for the trip. It's gonna be fun. Lotsa love from Australia.
ps. great job on the video Josh!
OMG, you are so sweet!! I so appreciate the support and love. Ha ha, yes I love taking chances when decorating, will see how it all comes together.
She is amazing!
Thank you so much!!!
You have such a brilliant attitude! I love what you have done, and your eye for design is spot on! Beautiful home!!!
Thank you so much!!! I am glad you like it!! I have some big projects to share, they will be in more depth. I so appreciate the support!!!
Brava for your artistic vision and dedication to doing all the hard work to get things right! ❤ Some faves: 3:10 the gorgeous sunken patio 😍! with cushy chairs for dining 6:58 cozy seating area with sun coming in 📖 7:45 the elegant rounded cabinet pulls 10:17 pretty sconces! (worth the wait!) 17:47 cozy kitchen dining spot with that gorgeous patio view! ☕ Love your style & enthusiasm! 😀
Thank you so much!! you are so sweet to be so specific :) Don't worry, this was a very overview and general sharing for context, now I'll be doing more in depth each room, so I will show the items in the context of the room where they are. Thank you so much for the support!!!! and compliments ❤️
I just love you style and your home. You have such a fun and natural approach to presenting that I can’t wait to follow your journey. PS the wooden floors you laid are in herringbone style ❤
Thank you so much!! I am so grateful for your support!!! I am glad you like the style :) ❤️
If I had 1/10 of your design talent I would be elated. What a gorgeous house with many opportunities to showcase your skills. Your enthusiasm is infectious, too. ❤
Wow, thank you! You are so kind!!! thank you for the support!!!! i am so glad you enjoy my video :)
I love to see your talent and hard working positive energy paying off. Definitely looking forward to more :)
Thank you! Thank you! 😊 your support is super appreciated! And your kind words also, I am so grateful!
Love this videos! Been following your husbands channel and you of course. Very inspirational! Congratulations on your new home in France. You are talented and will make it an amazing place.
Thank you so much!! wow, thank you so much for all the support!!! You are so sweet!!!
I really enjoyed your video. I seem to be a natural in speaking before the camera. I look forward to all the changes to come.
Thank you so much! I am so glad you enjoyed the video, I am super grateful for your support!!! and the compliments. I can't wait to share in more depth the future projects.
Cecilia, I am so excited, because you're excited. Your home is going to be spectacular--it already is. Your vision of what you want your home to look like is simply amazing. I cannot wait to see what happens next.
Thank you so much! You are so kind, thank you so very much!!!
What fun to join you on your journey and see your accomplishments! Compliments also to videography and the artistry behind that, particularly adorable dog at intervals making me smile! 😃
Omg! Thank you so much!!!! I super appreciate the support! I agree, my husband and youngest son went all out!, they are helping me while I try learning video editing 🤪. So much to learn! So little time, I need a million lives 🤣.
Amazing and inspiring! Thank you for sharing! I especially love all of those skylights.
Glad you enjoyed it! and thank you so much for the support!!! Yeah, it is amazing how light can transform a space.
What a delight you are! These will be my fav design stories
OMG, you are so sweet!!! I super appreciate the support!!! All the love back to you :)
Yes, please continue to share your ideas and progress. I have a feeling I’m going to learn a lot from you. Your personality is infectious!
Thank you! Will do! You are so sweet! what a kind message!!!
☺️✨✨✨ You’ve done top quality upgrades in a short time….. I’m looking forward to the next video update, 🙏 in the near future ☺️
Thank you so much!!!! You are so nice to say that! I am trying to make our nice nest where we can recharge and be creative, I feed a lot from my environment, so it is important that it feels right to us. Thank you so much for the support and kind words!!!
Very cool house and really fun project!
I would say completely
genuine and practically
perfect in every way!
Wow!!! so nice to hear that, you are very kind and encouraging :) I super appreciate the support!!!
Amazing and looking forward to many more. Yes, you're a natural at this presenting...
Thank you so much!!!! I am surprised myself, I was just sharing and hoping to be clear on what I say. So many projects, so much to learn, we will do it together :) so grateful for the support!!!
You are a delightful soul🌟 Cecilia, a definite natural! Looking forward to your creative flare and process. Stay well and blessed 👏🏼🙏🏼♥️
OMG, you are so generous with your words, what a loving compliment, I so appreciate the support and well wishes!!!
I am so excited. I recently moved and basically need to furnish my entire space. I got many ideas watching this. Can’t wait for the next video!
That is awesome!!! yes a lot work for sure, take your time, and do as much research as you can handle, and don't buy anything that you don't LOVE. It is ok to make mistakes, because sometimes those turn into special surprises :) Best of luck, and thank you so much for the support!!!!
Hello🌼
Great video, congrats!!
Love your personality and sense of style!😍👌🏽can’t wait for more🤗 Also you and your husband put a smile on my face 😅 thank you, lovely couple.

Well done Cecilia👌 You are so talented and literally bursting with enthusiasm, I can't wait for the next episode🙏
Thank you so much!! I so appreciate the kind words! I can’t wait to share more!
Thank you for sharing this exciting journey with all of us, Cecilia! Very excited for what’s following next 😁 as I am also renovating chez moi! You spark tones of creativity and it seems your calm sunny nature makes it all a lot easier 🥰 Congratulations on this first (second) video. Looking forward to the next one!
Awwww!!!! that is so wonderful, I love that you feel inspired, that is what I hope for with this new UA-cam adventure, to invite people to play and live large like I am trying to do :) Thank you for the support!!!!
Hi Cecilia,
You are such a joy to watch !! Your expressions are beyond adorable and you exude so much joy and happiness in all of these projects!! This is your thing for sure and wow you are so good at it !! Such a talent ! Your home is beautiful and I’m sure wherever you would live you would create such magic and warmth!! I look forward to seeing more !!! P.S. love your family and all their vlogs too💕
Thank you so much! you are so kind and sweet, what a loving message. I am so grateful for the support!!!
The house looks fantastic, and I'm excited to see the rest of the transformation! 😍
Me too!! Thank you so much for the support and kind words 😁
She is gonna rock this !! She is glowing of joy and happiness ,I'm here for it . Roll the camera please !Such a natural ,this family was born to share on UA-cam.🫶🏼
Ha ha ha, wow what a compliment, I supper appreciate the support!!!!
I love seeing the finished parts and looking forward to see how you got there. And then the whole journey to come.
Thank you so much!!!! Your support is super appreciated and valued! I am grateful you enjoy the process, it is a roller coaster ride at times, many shadings coming of it all :)
L😍VE your space and I am so excited about your channel. Your style is amazing. Probably for beginners like me, but I like “Shades of light” for lighting (catalog and website).
Thank you so much!! You are so sweet! Lots coming and the future videos will be more in depth with explanations on how and why I make my decision. I super appreciate the support!
I love watching you both. You are amazingly creative.
Thank you so much! I am super appreciative of the kind words! and the support!!!
Cecelia, you are a force to be reckoned with in the best way. I think Josh is going to need that meditation space when all is said and done. I love your aesthetic and I adore all the crystal chandelier's. I see a lap pool in the backyard in your future. What do you think? The pitter patter of your tiny dog's feet on the floors is sweet. I hope you build him a dog house with a bed and skylight too. LOL
Ha ha ha, I agree, the meditation room is for Josh 😁. No Pool for us, but I have plans for the yard for next spring 😃! So many projects, but can’t wait to see it all come together 😁thank you for the loving comment, I super appreciate the support!
Loved this video sooooooo much! Would you mind sharing where you purchased your furniture? Can't wait to see what you do in all the rooms!
Thank you so much for the kind words. I will start doing each room slowly in ,any stages, where i will go slower and in depth, I plan to list whatever information I can. Thanks for the support!!!! more to come :)
@@AnArtistsLifeYT Thank you! I bought a house in Italy a year ago and will (finally) see it for the 1st time next month. Trying to purchase things to be delivered before I get there is a bit more difficult than I thought it would be (2 hour lunches - LOL!)
You have so much patience! I appreciate your determination 😊
Thank you! 😊 I can't help myself, I always change everything, it didn't matter what house I get I always see things to play with :) and it has to feel like us :) Thank you so much for the support!!!
Wow! Fantastic progress! I wish I had your energy. You have accomplished so much in such a short span of time. Congratulations on all of your work on this beautiful home. I am really looking forward to seeing your entire process of redesigning your home. 🥰
Thank you so much! I am so glad you think it is a lot of progress, sometimes I feel I move at a snail pace 🐌, but I guess it is just my eagerness to see project to fruition. So much to come :) Thank you for the support!!!!
Wow! Just wow… Cecilia Incredible! So attached to this journey since you left Oregon. The best lesson thus far outside of the AMAZING design is the incredible patience and teamwork. Please share the secret magic wand in future videos! Greet Josh and the boys - and Butter! ✌🏾🌲
Wow, Vicente so nice to hear from you!!!!! I think about you guys all the time. It has been such a crazy journey! I wish we would have meet way before we left, I think you and your wife are such loving, sweet, sensitive people. It would be nice to catch up one of these days. I think it is a great idea, and yes I would love to share my perspective on our relationship, and how hard we work at it, because it is that a lot of hard PERSONAL work. I wish you and your family only the best, you guys have such wonderful energy, beautiful souls and I am so grateful to have meet you :)
Your son sent me! Haha love this intro, it is dramatic, quick, active, and a little chaotical!
Ha ha thank you for coming! And for the support!
Great video.. a suggestion.. maybe linger on the spaces more? As a design enthusiast I wanted to see more of that - great job Cecilia 😌
Thank you so much!!! I hear you and that is my intention, This video was just to give a good explanation and not necessarily a detail showing of the rooms as that is what is coming next. I super appreciate the suggestion and please know I agree with you. Thanks for the support!!!
Wonderful! Ok! 🧡
This is so delightful! Thanks for sharing your journey and enthusiasm! I was so excited to take my lunch break today so I could watch your video!
Awwww!!! you are the best!!! what a kind warm message, I so appreciate you :) Thank you so much for the support!!!
I just love you, Cecelia! I watched you in a couple of your sons videos. You were such a wonderful vivacious, vibrant soul. A kindred spirit for sure.❤
OMG! You are so sweet!!! my boys and husband kept telling me to do this, so finally I jumped into the UA-cam world 🤓, thank you for the kind comment and for the support!!!!
@@AnArtistsLifeYT , you are most welcome 😊
Oh wow….i just love your choices. It’s just such a beautiful home….and I agree with your son….you are a natural on camera❤ Can’t wait for the next update.
Thank you so much! you are so kind to say that, I super appreciate the love :)
Love all the new and more new features on the way
Thank you a million! You are so sweet, much more coming, it is a crazy journey to do it in a new country 🤪, but some how it is getting done 😁I super appreciate the support!
Love seeing your process in realizing the plans you have for your home! I can imagine the difference in getting things done in France rather than the USA. I wish I had this talent. We are also in our fifties and are looking to move to Italy once I get my citizenship. But we’ll have to find something that only needs minimal work if any, since I’m not sure I’d have your patience😂
I am glad you are enjoying the process, and yes doing things in a new country is not easy task. Not only I barely have the language but all structures, products and methods are complete different. It will be a tricky path but we are doing our best to get informed, take our time to learn and let the universe do its thing. Thank you so much for the support, and kind compliments, and best of luck to you on this new adventure you are about to embark on :)
Can’t wait to see the transformation! And yes, a total natural☺️
Thank you so much!!! I super appreciate the compliments and support!!!! 😁
Love what you've done. That was smart doing the chevron floor -- acknowledges the transition from old to new. Look forward to seeing the diamond pattern in the bathroom. The skylights are awesome! Natural light makes such a difference.
Thanks so much! Yes, it is better to be intentional with the two floors :) and yes showing those main bathroom floors will be a fun sharing 🤪 and yes adding all that light upstairs was crazy dirty and dificult but made a world of difference. I am always trying to add light in any way possible. Thank you so much for the amazing support!!!
You look very beautiful
It suits you to live in France 🌸😊☘
Thank you! 😃 ha ha what a little make up does 😁 and yes living in France is wonderful :)
I love, love, love all your sky lights. Thank you for sharing❤
Thank you so much! I love them too!!! Light is everything in a space :) I appreciate the love and support!!!
Been waiting for this tour for a long time !!!! How exciting. You have such marvelous taste. Can’t wait for the next video❤️
Awww, thank you, sorry to have kept you waiting, but I had to get some items done before I embark on UA-cam. So much to share, so you'll have plenty coming to watch 😜 I supper appreciate the support!!!
Your vision is gorgeous, dogs are adorable and Josh must be the most patient husband in France! 🇫🇷 😂
@@Lilybet1316 Tu as raison 😁
Ha ha yes he is very patient and I am super grateful he gets me :) thank you so much for the compliments and for the support! Very much appreciated!
Yay, the house is looking wonderful. Awesome video!
Yayyy!!! Thank you!! 😊❤️
"The truth, the real, the crazy... bye" jajajajjaja que inspirador. me encanta todo. Saludos desde Punta Cana
OMG, how embarrassing, I had not idea I said that when filmed 🤪 but is true, I'll share the ups and downs of it all, and there were many 😆 Thank you so much for the support!!! I really appreciate it :)
I absolutely adore you! Beautiful home and you have such great vision...From a new sub from California!
Awwww! You are so sweet! Thank you for the support and the follow :) I am so grateful ☺️
Wow, wow , wow ! Now that is a truly stylish home with a happy beating heart ! Filled with an elegant warmth, welcome and wonderment . BEAUTIFUL . Your happy spirit has endowed this lovely home with the beauty it deserves ….a true simpatico .
OMG, what a loving comment, I am so touched!!! Thank you so much, you are very kind ❤️❤️❤️ I super appreciate the support!!!
Beautiful ❤
Thank you! 😊 I really appreciate the support!!!
Love it!
So glad! I super appreciate it!!! thank you a million!
Beautiful home!
You are so creative
Thank you so much!!!!
a wonderful and charismatic woman... 🙂
Awww, I am blushing, thank you so much!! 😊
Thanks Nathaniel for sharing mom’s channel. She has so much energy. Yes, she’s a natural. The house is beautiful already and there’s still so much to do. I’d love to see a morning breakfast video before the wheels start turning. How she starts her day. So much inspiration here!
Ha ha, Thanks so much, I might do that, show a bit of our days, with all that we juggle after moving to France :) Thank you so much for the suggestion and kind comment!!!
❤ adore the energy, the passion and love with which you have embraced this journey, despite the inconveniences encountered! What’s a tip for starting to learn more about home structures and being more handy/ doer … I’m amazed you guys did the majority of the flooring!
Thank you so much!!! I would say, lots of research by watching videos on UA-cam, that helps a ton, gathering the right products and tools, because once you buy the items you are more compelled to installing or doing things, and then tackling it on a day you feel rested and in a bubbly mood, with plenty of time, so that you can adapt when problems or surprises arise, and finally, a very clear attitude to go slow and learn a new skill, it won't be perfect but it will be so rewarded. Good luck!!! and go for it :) Thank you for the kind comment!!
Cecillia, you are a breath of fresh air, and I want to live in your house, it is stunning.
Awwww!!! Thank you so much!!! I haven't ever started with the fun stuff yet :) I supper apprecite the kind sweet comment and support!!!
Thank you for this video. It's so interesting to see how you are transforming this wonderful house. I always admired the people who have a vision. I could never do anything even close to this. The video is a bit choppy to me. Maybe zooming out every once in a while would make it a bit more coherent, because it would allow to have a better view of the wider space. For instance two bedrooms upstairs looked kinda similar if not entirely identical. I know it must not be so, but the camera doesn't allow the broader view. Looking forward to follow your work to the finish line. Best of luck!
Thank you so much for your support! I super appreciate it! I am sorry it felt choppy, I totally understand, we are trying to explain things without showing too much as each room will have a very step by step transformation. The goal with this video is to give context. Don’t worry, I know what you are looking for, and it is coming 😜
