I keep meaning to comment and just tell you how proud you make so many of us feel watching you recover from this breakup. It sounds like it was horrible and a lot of hopes were broken. But there is nothing more powerful than watching a woman pick herself up, dust herself off and carry on stronger and better. Just a bit bruised but definitely a much stronger woman. All the power to you, keep on growing bigger and better. You got this!
8:08 Quel réconfort que de s’entourer de petits trésors qu’on aime, tous ces petits objets si beaux qui nous rendent la vie plus douce . Je m’identifie complètement à ces moments , et je crois que chaque femme seule peut créer un petit monde réconfortant avec un esprit créatif , ce n’est pas une question de budget.
If that trash cupboard really bothers you, you could put up a nice piece of cloth as a curtain for a temporary fix until you can get cupboard doors. Also, please do not trash your glass for your night stands. You may find that getting anything to stand up on top of those tables is very difficult without the glass. Even if you decide not to use the glass, pieces of glass that size can end up being very useful elsewhere at sometime in the future.
The nightstands are cute. Don't throw out the glass right away, wicker is not a stable surface, your lamps and things will be tippy. You could always put fabric, vintage doilies or wallpaper under the glass for a different look.
Yes!! I have an beautiful old wicker chest of drawers with a glass top. Elise would love it like I do. I have vintage fabric under the glass, the fabric is from a dress I found that was to small for my chest 🤣 Elise if you read this it's just lovely seeing you shine so bright. Love the mat you were sent from a lovely lady......seeing you happy make us happy 🤗
The wicker is not easy to clean, especially when your pour coffee or other liquids on it and they might get into the draw underneath it. The glass is there for a good reason!
Hanging up some curtains will look really nice on your kitchen cabinets. Just get the little hooks and that stretch wire curtain rod thingy to hang them. I lived like that for about a year before affording new doors!
Elise, even though I'm just a follower of your channel, I am so proud of you that I can barely express it. You have made your dream come true! You are the owner of a beautiful home that is growing more beautiful each day under your loving care. And you are growing more beautiful every day, too. I suspect you'll be receiving more and more housewarming gifts from your viewers as we reach out to express our love for and appreciation of you.
I am a 70 year old woman from South Africa .I just love watching you grow from strength to strength.There is nothing more powerful than a strong woman.
Opening up the wall from the kitchen to the living room was such a genius idea. It really makes all the difference in brightening up both rooms and giving you a sight-line into the living area and beyond. I can't believe how much you have accomplished in the few weeks since you bought the house.
As other people have said, the glass pieces will serve to keep the top of the nightstands level. They're also a good way to stop dust gathering in all the little crevices of the wicker material!
Your channel has given me so much comfort during the holidays as I too went through a terrible break-up! Seeing you cope and flourish is so beautiful and encouraging to see. I am so glad I found your channel! Thank you for sharing your life with us.
Elise, The kitchen looks great!! Just a thought.....for the time being you could put a curtain under the sink to cover up the re-cycle bits, and the trash, until you are able to get a cupboard door on it. I can't wait to see this all unfold. You have such a great house there🤩
🌼🏵🌱 Im proud of you, Elise in how you have handled the past couple or three months, never dragging yourself into pity and staying strong, buying your own home ( through the pain of all the stuff ). You're classy and pretty. I see a beautiful girl who makes her own happiness happen. .... Im loving your new house, its beginning to look very pretty. ...Im rather a new Subscriber, started watching late November 2022. ___ Again proud, I get to say that at age 69, because I can relate to a lot. Some day you will find "The One" xoxo 🌼
With each video your new home 🏡 is receiving a new life through your eyes 👀 - also, as you complete each task you are healing yourself too! You always continue to amaze me , I admire your resourcefulness - you are truly wonderful 👍👏🎉😊
Another vote to keep the glass. It really protects. I’m a much older lady and having lived with furniture for a long time, I feel I know the pitfalls 😊
I agree with kielia727 about not getting rid of the glass tops for your lovely bedside tables - they will also be much easier to clean, as well as creating a flat surface for you to put things on. I love your picture and that wonderful mat that your received from two followers, such lovely things. You are doing really well with work and home, your new home is looking lovely. xxx
Get ready girl! I think maybe your going to be surprised how many gifts arrive at your door...for your new home. As you are loved💖. And those prints will look lovely in your home....love the beautiful door mat. It shows your love of flowers so well. The kitchen already looks lovely, I agree about a cute curtain for the cupboard under the sink...until you can replace the doors. It's lucky there are not a lot of doors to replace.😉 I'm still excited to see your home bloom into....well you. It's going to be lovely, warm and inviting. Just like your apartment was. 😊 And the cottage is. Love and hugs.😊
Maybe a curtain instead of a door in the kitchen would work ,and look vintage which is right up your alley. So cute,love the way things are coming together. Very inspiring:)Also,if you keep the glass for bed side tables it's fun to put vintage postcards or cut-outs,pressed flowers,ect. underneath the glass .
The bedside tables are beautiful. I would suggest keeping the glass on top, just my opinion. The whole house is beautiful, coming along so great. Love it.
Years ago I had a horrible breakup it took awhile for me to get better, but my new mantra became "I deserve better" !! When I was walking 🚶♂️, cleaning, on the treadmill I kept repeating my mantra!! I recovered and it was the best thing that happened to me. God bless you.
I cannot tell you why this is so................but the older you get, the more beautiful you get. In fact your looks have gotten better and better over the past few years. It usually works the other way with most people. You are truly blessed. Love to see you being joyful and enjoying what you have. Your little home will truly be a piece of art one day.
Your home, is your sanctuary so full of love ,happiness, and joy ,and all the beautiful things, I'm just over the moon for you bless you Elise,I can't wait to see what you do outside in this garden I'm sure it will be lovely 🌸🌻🌹🌷🌿⚘💐 lve is the key, always 💞 your friend from Ohio USA 🇺🇸 😊
It made me happy for you, watching you unpacking all your belongings. It is such a great feeling! Seeing all your own stuff again - I love that feeling 🥰 as I'm sure you do. So happy for you Elise 💓 It's heartwarming to hear you humming as you go about decorating. OH MY GOSH, your place at night, with your beautiful chair and sofa with the brick wall behind...oh and the soft, cozy lighting! Gorgeous already Elise! 😍 😃☕️ Enjoy 🌞🌘
Your home is looking beaitiful already. I love the wildflower doormat. So relieved you are free like a bird now and away from a mentally unhealthy atmosphere. It's huge you are close to family and friends now. I have always wished the best for you. I thank God for watching over you. We want you to have a good life with good souls. Love your new house and looking forward to seeing the gardens in bloom.
Your videos have been a spot of joy and inspiration in some trying times. I can understand from your perspective why you would feel that way when receiving gifts. However from here, it feels very natural to want to give back to you 💚
I love your bedside tables. They look unique. Also, I love the areas without cabinet doors. You could cover under the kitchen sink with a rod and curtain. I think it adds character and color to your kitchen. It displays your retro items quite nicely. 🌻 💜
An idea for your kitchen cupboard doors situation---take a cue from your cottage and get some fabric to cover the open cupboards. . it would work wonderfully as a temporary solution until you can get doors. I think it would look adorable and funky.
Maybe for the kitchen you could hang some curtains in place of cupboard doors (at least for now) like you did in your cabin. I can imagine white with a floral trim at the bottom being so pretty! Would just need to make sure they can be easily taken off to be washed when needed I've been loving your videos and so excited to see how your beautiful home continues to grow 💐🐞
Bravo on your progress, you are moving forward and healing, the tell is that your joy for what you do comes back. You now have a "sturdy" home base and having a sanctuary is so important for us all. I bought my "smaller home" it is my happy place and I love it, best thing I did after my jarring breakup. Sending positive energy and blessing your way. Thank you for the video. 🌷
Love watching your home come to life. You look so happy! As a gardener it will be exciting for me watching how the garden ‘wakes up’ and what it looks like as the seasons pass.
First I am soooo proud of you. While you are figuring out about your doors to the sorting area you could put up the bottom of cafe curtains plain or flowered. I think your cabinets look really cool open. You can see what you have. I like your Victorian taste. So lovely… !!!! I am enjoying your Reno!!! The plates were soo nice.. Keep going forward. Those ladies are friends from afar who see the special person you are. You just radiate love.
I love seeing all that you're doing, it's so exciting. You're company for me after my break up back in July, someone familiar I can watch. My mom used to tell me that when she and my dad built their house when they got married, they couldn't afford cupboard doors or furniture and stuff. So she sewed little curtains to cover the open cupboards until they could afford doors, they borrowed furniture and stuff from family, and when they could afford to buy the item themselves, they'd return the borrowed item. So there are always options for you for your house until you can afford certain things you need. Good luck!
Elise, I look forward your videos. Until you get a door for under your sink you could hang a little vintage curtain there. You have been through a lot the past few months and just know you are right where you’re supposed to be. Through the hard times you just kept going…thank you for sharing the hills and valleys and not giving up. God bless you and your beautiful new home!❤
I just want to say that as someone who can stencil welcome mats like this, please know that this level of detail is extremely difficult!!! It also requires multiple steps in order to do it even somewhat successfully! So kudos to the creator of this mat!!
Hi Elise, the two end tables are beautiful. My husband said you should not paint them it takes away the value of the bedside tables. lol!! . Just like people are so kind sending you the rug, God loves us more and blesses us even when we don't deserve it. That's all I could think of. I love the containers in your kitchen and the painting of flowers the girl send you so pretty. Have a great week! Enjoy your home and don't forget to pray.
Oh Elise..❤️❤️❤️You have no idea how truly inspirational your channel is...and the fact that you mentioned in the video prior that you plan to create more, I think you mentioned two per week instead of one...but I truly TRULY feel that if you were to do that your subscribers would at least double in just a short time...say, six/eight months...I bet you would make it to half a million by years end if not sooner. The reason I say this is because your channel has NEVER NEVER EVER felt like it was about creating an income for you...never ONCE has it ever felt that way. You are a beautiful soul...and you are holding your precious head high...facing life’s real everyday challenges and rising to the occasion. I cannot tell you how proud I am, and I’m sure I can speak for so many others, proud of you for the way you have handled with grace that small snippet of time that will one day just be an ever so tiny chapter in your beautiful journey. I knew you were special the first time I watched one of your videos and you have far exceeded the level of determination and self care that most individuals would gather the courage to display. You have a beautiful family...I am so grateful for the love and support they show you and another charming part of you..is that you too realize fully how blessed you are. Thank you for turning your back on a situation that was not good for you, thankyou for listening to your inner feelings and knowing that it would be difficult but it was imperative that you move forward and learn the lessons that were there for you to learn. You have already bloomed, and will continue to bloom..and we are here, cheering you on...your new home is already looking splendid...oh I can’t wait for you to share it with us..good job Elise, GOOD JOB..!!!!!
Next one you find a nice retro pot without lid: I suppose in most countries you can buy spare glass lids, the sizes should be standard. Would probably look perfect! And yes, it is soooo lovely to see you smiling sooo much again!
Looking so lovely Elise 🏡 progress every time you vlog it’s so good to see. The bedroom side cabinets are adorable. Lace under the glass tops is what people did years ago to make them pretty, & protect the surface. Also for stability. My aunts all did this in the last century. Your mat is so gorgeous too, so you 🎉 Rest up when you can & look forward to seeing next vlog 💗💐💗
Elise,,,for under your sink, make a curtain in some of your beautiful fabric and hang with a tension rod!!❤❤❤❤ I can't tell you how much I look forward to seeing your Home come together and the smile it puts on your heart and beautiful face!! Hugs sweet Elise!!❤❤
Those bedside tables are beautiful , pls leave the glass on them 😍 and don't paint them , they are perfect just the way the are Elise . your home is beautiful ❤
Hi Elise. Loving what you are doing with your home. It all looks wonderful! You have 6000 views in one hour! We are all waiting for your videos with excitement. Thank you for sharing your beautiful life with us. 🥰
As several others have mentioned, just put a curtain across the one under the sink. My other thought was if you find a frame, it could be a painting, mirror, fabric, or wallpaper! I actually like the others open, but obviously it's not my home 😉. Looks good girl!
Hey, I'm just wondering if you could hang a cute curtain under your kitchen sink. Its kind of a retro idea and would add some colour and character to the room. Anyway, you are beautiful and have such a great sense of style and I'm really enjoying watching you create a lovely home! :)
I love the bedroom side tables, I like the glass tops too, very classy and nothing will spill inside with the glass on top. I’d leave them be for awhile. Take your time with changing stuff. You’re doing great. Just make everything clean and workable. 🎉❤ you’ll make it a fantastic space
The kitchen looks great and I love the new door mat. I would advise you to keep the glass tops on your beautiful new nightables. Wicker is so delicate and if you have a spill, it will be almost impossible to clean. Plus it's so flat and even for books and water glasses!
Just reflecting on your journey, Elise. Had not all the good and bad transpired, you may still be in your apartment rather than this lovely home you have acquired, are growing into, and are making your own. 🌞
I would leave the glass on those wicker bedside tables. It will protect the wicker if you spill anything. And from experience the wicker is not flat so putting cups of coffee or tea will be wobbly. Keep the glass on top trust me. Time to look for some beautiful curtains! Ahh YOUR OWN HOUSE ELISE!!!! 💕
Elise! I love your decor style and the randomness of your dish ware. I do the same…buying dishes and decor that bring me joy! It’s so much more satisfying to use things I love, rather than trying to make everything matchy. I think the open cabinets look nice, seeing your dishes displayed. Maybe just a curtain under the sink area will work for now. You can always change it for a door later on. Thank you for sharing your journey.
I love that you have your own shop! And now you have your own home and fixing it up so lovely. Love your videos. They bring so much color, joy and activity. 🥰❤️
How fun…I love watching all the nice transformations. I did the same thing with my first home, I removed the upper cabinets and it all seemed so much brighter and sunny. I added open shelves to grab my plates and I put in wood counter tops from Ikea and a pretty white sink. It made me just as happy as I see you are. Keep enjoying your new home, you are made for all of these projects. 🏡💕🪚🔨🪛📝
The kitchen looks much brighter 💜 not sure how much wood or MDF is in your part of the world and how much DIY you have done you could always make some doors especially if the sizes you require are difficult to get 💜 it will all come together 💜keep up the good work 💜
Maybe hang curtains that slide until you can get the cupboard doors. Curtains in place of cupboard doors used to be quite popular, especially to cover the sink area. I love your new home, and am so happy for you.
It's so wonderful to watch moving vlogs. I think it's because you get to see the progress without having to do any of the work and not having to feel the stress! Hope you will soon feel at home in this beautiful house and over time will grow it into a home you feel safe and happy in.
I would really recommend adding a large drawer with a door to the trash cupboard (so the whole cabinet is one drawer), inside the drawer you can add many trash bins for recycling. I did this in my home and it is very useful and much easier to reach the trash bins also :)
Elise until you find some cupboard doors you can hang up tension rods with curtains! That would look really cute in the kitchen for the time being!! Might make you feel more settled in the space less rushed until you find the perfect ones. Plus you get to play around with cute patterns 😊
The rug is so pretty and so you. I am so happy for you and proud of you. I've followed your journey and you have given me strength and inspiration in mine. Your abode is so pretty. I too would use material for the cupboards....Vintage if you can find....lots of love to you my dear girl. thanks for making me happy
Elise, I just wanted to express what joy this video brought. After a long day, your video proves a lovely, soft companion to watch while eating dinner. The work you are doing on this home is just lovely. Im sure others have offered this idea, but I wonder about some pretty curtains serving as “doors” for now for those cabinets? Just a thought! Thank you for everything, Elise. You have made my night more peaceful than you even know.
My sweet Elise. I can hardly wait to see if you come out with a new video everyday. I love everything you do and I admire and respect you so much. I’m so excited for you.
Ohhh, Elise, your kitchen turned out so great 👍 I did want to tell Nooo don't throw those cabinet doors away, but hey, it is your home. Lol I love those bedside tables. However, if you're going to set drinks with ice in them on it, I'd leave the glass top. Did you know you can spray paint wicker? 😉
I still can't believe you only have 200K subscribers! You are one of my favorite channels to watch and I love seeing everything you are doing with your cozy little home! Can't wait to see more in the future!
Elise it's already looking like a home! Love it! Hope you're feeling good in your own space😍 I have a little (well not so little) suggestion, maybe you could get a cat when you settle in? Don't know your full circumstances obvs, but I feel that sharing your space with an animal could be even more healing 😊
Good morning Elise, it's 2/7/23 the kitchen is looking 👀 nice 👍🏾 One thing I've learned is that if I see a pot that I like I still buy it. Because I can Always find a glass pot top in some Thrift shop somewhere. So u could've still bought the pot if" u liked it. PS. Darling' U can NOW! say; I'm going shopping for My Home 🏠. Not' the new house. You've finally arrived at ur awesome spot. I am so very very happy for you. Be blessed 🙏🏽💜😘 U should never throw out cabinet doors. If' anything u put them away not throw away. And the cabinets u took down u could've used some of those too. Even in closet room on the wall u could've put some folding clothes in them like sweaters, pants. U could've utilized them for storage. It's GREATTTTT to see U sooooo Happy 😊💜 Ur gifts where thoughtful and Beautiful. Elise when will u get another car ????🚗
A tip with the tape, press it lightly on your clothing before sticking it to the surface, it still works just as well, but makes it easier to remove 🙂🌻
Love what you have done so far. I think that you are organized enough and your dishes, etc are cute enough that it doesn’t matter about the doors. As for under the sink, what about a curtain door? Get some pretty material ( enough to gather it up) & get a rod or hooks to hang it. You are talented and creative, so go for it! Are you sure that you don’t want to keep the glass for the bedside tables? They serve a purpose. The wicker is pretty but the glass will keep things from turning over & making a mess - such as a glass of liquid, a vase of flowers, etc… everything else you want to do to them sounds great.
I was sooo overwhelmed last several months. And your video just calmed my brain and heart somehow. Your aesthetic is really adorable and you voice is so calming. Thank you!
Hi Elise Iam so proud of you of everything you have done since the beginning of your channel with your dreadlocks look. Now you have your house and a boutique. Sometimes to gain and win we have to pass hard and sad situations. You did it. Sendings a lot of blessing. Love the side tables first time in seeing that combination, I like it. The thrift store is amazing. Thanks for sharing. 💗🌹
When I saw your notification pop up on my phone, I just had to fix a coffee and watch. Somehow on this cold winter's day in America, a coffee just felt like the cozy thing to do. For now, you could always buy some material and cover the front of your kitchen cabinet and just thumb-tack them up or something (maybe a small window rod). With the price of everything going up in America and around the world, the luxury of owning a car gets harder and harder. Hope you can get another one soon as it makes life so much easier. Love your videos!
Your home is starting to come together! I know you have so much more work, but gradually your beautiful esthetic is taking shape. Your bedroom is my favorite so far. Those curtains, bedside tables, flowered 💐 coverlet... just so lovely. Keep up your courage, Elise. You are doing well.
Fabric in a white base and tiny pink flowers hung in front of the kitchen cabinets would be bright and go with your hallway. A tension rod on top and bottom would hold it tight for under the sink. Have fun.
Dear Elise, sooo happy for you, luv your new house, it's absolutely charming and sooo beautiful. Wonderful to see you in your own home. Luv & blessings.💕💕💕
Kitchen is looking great. Just a tip til you get doors on the cupboards you could always put up some curtains/fabric on the stretchy plastic coated wire for now. I think it would look cute. 😉
I totally think in the meantime until you can find an affordable solution to the cabinets, that you could get some flexible ceiling curtain rails (so it can go around corners if you wish), and add some cloth to cover the areas you wish had doors💕!
Just seeing you happy and smiling is so adorable!!! I love everything about your home!!! Side tables are perfect!!! Continue to enjoy the process of unpacking and organizing all your treasures. Everything will come together one item at a time. 😊 Even the bus ride….just enjoy the luxury of letting someone else worry about traffic!!! It’ll all be back to normal eventually. Sending hugs and love from NC 🇺🇸 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
It's so good to see you getting settled in to your new home and a new life. The kitchen is looking great. Don't worry about the cabinet doors, you will find something to replace them. You never know what you might find. Shutter doors would be nice, it might also be hard to find those in the right size, but sometimes you can remove slats and cut them down to fit. The bedside tables are so pretty. I love your taste in everything. Please be careful with vintage dishes, I'm not sure about the regulations there, but here in the US most older dishes have lead or other heavy metals in the paints. It was so sad for me to find that out as I had already collected a lot of many vintage dishware and cookware, but I just keep them as decor, I don't eat off them or cook in them anymore. Please take good care of yourself. We are all eager for more videos but give yourself as much time as you need to rest and process. Thank you for sharing with us.
I keep meaning to comment and just tell you how proud you make so many of us feel watching you recover from this breakup. It sounds like it was horrible and a lot of hopes were broken. But there is nothing more powerful than watching a woman pick herself up, dust herself off and carry on stronger and better. Just a bit bruised but definitely a much stronger woman. All the power to you, keep on growing bigger and better. You got this!
Thank you so much! 🥰

My first thought on the cupboard “doors” as well. Spring loaded curtain rods and fabric.
Yes I also was going to suggest that 😊
I thought the same, great idea!
I also thought same 😊👍♥️
I was thinking the same thing! 👏🏻
The nightstands are cute. Don't throw out the glass right away, wicker is not a stable surface, your lamps and things will be tippy. You could always put fabric, vintage doilies or wallpaper under the glass for a different look.
It's actually quite stable, so I'll be just fine without the glass 🥰
Yes!! I have an beautiful old wicker chest of drawers with a glass top. Elise would love it like I do. I have vintage fabric under the glass, the fabric is from a dress I found that was to small for my chest 🤣 Elise if you read this it's just lovely seeing you shine so bright. Love the mat you were sent from a lovely lady......seeing you happy make us happy 🤗
@Elise Buch oh yes, don't listen stubborn girl!
The wicker is not easy to clean, especially when your pour coffee or other liquids on it and they might get into the draw underneath it. The glass is there for a good reason!
Please consider the glass, Elise. I understand why you wouldn’t but it will protect it. 💖
Hanging up some curtains will look really nice on your kitchen cabinets. Just get the little hooks and that stretch wire curtain rod thingy to hang them. I lived like that for about a year before affording new doors!
It has been on my mind, but I'd prefer some doors tho 🥰 hehe
curtains would be cute.

I'm really happy to hear my content can have some purpose 🥰 Hope you're starting to feel much better after your break up.
The vintage nightstands are so nice. I think using the glass is best as it protects the wicker and levels the surface.
Yes, it is for protection, but I don't eat or drink from my bed much, so I'll be just fine without them 🥰
@@EliseBuch I understand you,but when you stand things on the nightstands without the glas on top it's gonna start sagging. But you do you.🦋🦔🦋
That kitchen before/after is sooo good! This house is going to look so great. You have an amazing eye in finding gems and seeing their potential.
Thank you so much 🥰
Elise, The kitchen looks great!!
Just a thought.....for the time being you could put a curtain under the sink to cover up the re-cycle bits, and the trash, until you are able to get a cupboard door on it. I can't wait to see this all unfold. You have such a great house there🤩
Save the glass top for the end tables in your bedroom; it not only elevates their look but will also preserve the wicker or rattan!💖👍
🌼🏵🌱 Im proud of you, Elise in how you have handled the past couple or three months, never dragging yourself into pity and staying strong, buying your own home ( through the pain of all the stuff ).

With each video your new home 🏡 is receiving a new life through your eyes 👀 - also, as you complete each task you are healing yourself too! You always continue to amaze me , I admire your resourcefulness - you are truly wonderful 👍👏🎉😊
In the Kitchen I would put lovely curtains in the places that you want to cover! Like old cottage vibes! ❤️🥰 Hugs from Italy!! 😘
Actually I love the glass tops you could put a pretty print underneath it and if something spills your stuff inside is safe
Yes, I would keep the glass. Makes for a more stable surface for drinks etc.
Her lamps and things will be tippy on wicker without the glass.
I'l try not to spill hehe 🥰
Another vote to keep the glass. It really protects. I’m a much older lady and having lived with furniture for a long time, I feel I know the pitfalls 😊
Yes keep the glass!

Years ago I had a horrible breakup it took awhile for me to get better, but my new mantra became "I deserve better" !!
When I was walking 🚶♂️, cleaning, on the treadmill I kept repeating my mantra!!
I recovered and it was the best thing that happened to me. God bless you.
I cannot tell you why this is so................but the older you get, the more beautiful you get. In fact your looks have gotten better and better over the past few years.

Your home, is your sanctuary so full of love ,happiness, and joy ,and all the beautiful things, I'm just over the moon for you bless you Elise,I can't wait to see what you do outside in this garden I'm sure it will be lovely 🌸🌻🌹🌷🌿⚘💐 lve is the key, always 💞 your friend from Ohio USA 🇺🇸 😊
It made me happy for you, watching you unpacking all your belongings.
It is such a great feeling! Seeing all your own stuff again - I love that feeling 🥰 as I'm sure you do. So happy for you Elise 💓 It's heartwarming to hear you humming as you go about decorating.
OH MY GOSH, your place at night, with your beautiful chair and sofa with the brick wall behind...oh and the soft, cozy lighting! Gorgeous already Elise! 😍 😃☕️ Enjoy 🌞🌘
Your home is looking beaitiful already. I love the wildflower doormat. So relieved you are free like a bird now and away from a mentally unhealthy atmosphere. It's huge you are close to family and friends now. I have always wished the best for you. I thank God for watching over you. We want you to have a good life with good souls. Love your new house and looking forward to seeing the gardens in bloom.
I love those tables, maybe rethink the glass. If you spill something on the the glass will save the day. Love the new house and the new you.
Love the old end tables, I would hesitate to paint the beautiful wood ❤️
I would still use the glass it stops drinks going in to the drawer if it gets tipped over, plus it’s much more stable 😊
yay a new video🌈🌈🌈🌸🌸🌸🤎🤎🤎i like the no doors, maybe add a curtain instead.
Your videos have been a spot of joy and inspiration in some trying times. I can understand from your perspective why you would feel that way when receiving gifts. However from here, it feels very natural to want to give back to you 💚
Mylie Cyrus Flowers 💐 is you all over!! I'm proud of you, happy for you, and can't wait to watch you bloom with your flower garden. 💗
I love your bedside tables. They look unique. Also, I love the areas without cabinet doors. You could cover under the kitchen sink with a rod and curtain. I think it adds character and color to your kitchen. It displays your retro items quite nicely. 🌻 💜
You always look so pretty, no matter what you wear.
Suggestion for side tables: use an off white for the base with a gold handle.
🤷🏽♀️🙏🏼💗
This house is going to be a wonderful haven for many years to come ❤️🏡
An idea for your kitchen cupboard doors situation---take a cue from your cottage and get some fabric to cover the open cupboards. . it would work wonderfully as a temporary solution until you can get doors. I think it would look adorable and funky.
Maybe for the kitchen you could hang some curtains in place of cupboard doors (at least for now) like you did in your cabin. I can imagine white with a floral trim at the bottom being so pretty! Would just need to make sure they can be easily taken off to be washed when needed
I've been loving your videos and so excited to see how your beautiful home continues to grow 💐🐞
Bravo on your progress, you are moving forward and healing, the tell is that your joy for what you do comes back. You now have a "sturdy" home base and having a sanctuary is so important for us all. I bought my "smaller home" it is my happy place and I love it, best thing I did after my jarring breakup. Sending positive energy and blessing your way. Thank you for the video. 🌷
Happiness is seeing your home videos pop up sooner in the week! Wish you uploaded more often! Jejeje
hehe thaaanks 🥰
hehe thaaanks 🥰
Love watching your home come to life. You look so happy! As a gardener it will be exciting for me watching how the garden ‘wakes up’ and what it looks like as the seasons pass.
yayy! I'm so excited about that part of this house 🥰 It will be so much fun to see the garden take shape this spring
Love love the bedside tables
First I am soooo proud of you. While you are figuring out about your doors to the sorting area you could put up the bottom of cafe curtains plain or flowered. I think your cabinets look really cool open. You can see what you have. I like your Victorian taste. So lovely… !!!! I am enjoying your Reno!!! The plates were soo nice.. Keep going forward. Those ladies are friends from afar who see the special person you are. You just radiate love.
I love seeing all that you're doing, it's so exciting. You're company for me after my break up back in July, someone familiar I can watch. My mom used to tell me that when she and my dad built their house when they got married, they couldn't afford cupboard doors or furniture and stuff. So she sewed little curtains to cover the open cupboards until they could afford doors, they borrowed furniture and stuff from family, and when they could afford to buy the item themselves, they'd return the borrowed item. So there are always options for you for your house until you can afford certain things you need. Good luck!
Elise, I look forward your videos. Until you get a door for under your sink you could hang a little vintage curtain there. You have been through a lot the past few months and just know you are right where you’re supposed to be. Through the hard times you just kept going…thank you for sharing the hills and valleys and not giving up. God bless you and your beautiful new home!❤
I just want to say that as someone who can stencil welcome mats like this, please know that this level of detail is extremely difficult!!! It also requires multiple steps in order to do it even somewhat successfully! So kudos to the creator of this mat!!
Hi Elise, the two end tables are beautiful. My husband said you should not paint them it takes away the value of the bedside tables. lol!! . Just like people are so kind sending you the rug, God loves us more and blesses us even when we don't deserve it. That's all I could think of. I love the containers in your kitchen and the painting of flowers the girl send you so pretty. Have a great week! Enjoy your home and don't forget to pray.
Hi Elise just use a short curtain with a rod for that space under the kitchen sink 👋🏾
Oh Elise..❤️❤️❤️You have no idea how truly inspirational your channel is...and the fact that you mentioned in the video prior that you plan to create more, I think you mentioned two per week instead of one...but I truly TRULY feel that if you were to do that your subscribers would at least double in just a short time...say, six/eight months...I bet you would make it to half a million by years end if not sooner. The reason I say this is because your channel has NEVER NEVER EVER felt like it was about creating an income for you...never ONCE has it ever felt that way. You are a beautiful soul...and you are holding your precious head high...facing life’s real everyday challenges and rising to the occasion. I cannot tell you how proud I am, and I’m sure I can speak for so many others, proud of you for the way you have handled with grace that small snippet of time that will one day just be an ever so tiny chapter in your beautiful journey. I knew you were special the first time I watched one of your videos and you have far exceeded the level of determination and self care that most individuals would gather the courage to display. You have a beautiful family...I am so grateful for the love and support they show you and another charming part of you..is that you too realize fully how blessed you are. Thank you for turning your back on a situation that was not good for you, thankyou for listening to your inner feelings and knowing that it would be difficult but it was imperative that you move forward and learn the lessons that were there for you to learn. You have already bloomed, and will continue to bloom..and we are here, cheering you on...your new home is already looking splendid...oh I can’t wait for you to share it with us..good job Elise, GOOD JOB..!!!!!
Next one you find a nice retro pot without lid: I suppose in most countries you can buy spare glass lids, the sizes should be standard. Would probably look perfect! And yes, it is soooo lovely to see you smiling sooo much again!
Looking so lovely Elise 🏡 progress every time you vlog it’s so good to see. The bedroom side cabinets are adorable. Lace under the glass tops is what people did years ago to make them pretty, & protect the surface. Also for stability. My aunts all did this in the last century. Your mat is so gorgeous too, so you 🎉
Rest up when you can & look forward to seeing next vlog 💗💐💗
Elise,,,for under your sink, make a curtain in some of your beautiful fabric and hang with a tension rod!!❤❤❤❤ I can't tell you how much I look forward to seeing your Home come together and the smile it puts on your heart and beautiful face!! Hugs sweet Elise!!❤❤
Those bedside tables are beautiful , pls leave the glass on them 😍 and don't paint them , they are perfect just the way the are Elise . your home is beautiful ❤
Hi Elise. Loving what you are doing with your home. It all looks wonderful! You have 6000 views in one hour! We are all waiting for your videos with excitement. Thank you for sharing your beautiful life with us. 🥰
As several others have mentioned, just put a curtain across the one under the sink. My other thought was if you find a frame, it could be a painting, mirror, fabric, or wallpaper! I actually like the others open, but obviously it's not my home 😉. Looks good girl!
Hey, I'm just wondering if you could hang a cute curtain under your kitchen sink. Its kind of a retro idea and would add some colour and character to the room. Anyway, you are beautiful and have such a great sense of style and I'm really enjoying watching you create a lovely home! :)
Agree, with a tension rod.
Wonderful week to everone! 🌿🌺🌿
I love the bedroom side tables, I like the glass tops too, very classy and nothing will spill inside with the glass on top. I’d leave them be for awhile. Take your time with changing stuff. You’re doing great. Just make everything clean and workable. 🎉❤ you’ll make it a fantastic space
The kitchen looks great and I love the new door mat. I would advise you to keep the glass tops on your beautiful new nightables. Wicker is so delicate and if you have a spill, it will be almost impossible to clean. Plus it's so flat and even for books and water glasses!
Thank you for taking me on your visit to the market. It is truly a treasure trove.
Just reflecting on your journey, Elise. Had not all the good and bad transpired, you may still be in your apartment rather than this lovely home you have acquired, are growing into, and are making your own. 🌞
I would leave the glass on those wicker bedside tables. It will protect the wicker if you spill anything. And from experience the wicker is not flat so putting cups of coffee or tea will be wobbly. Keep the glass on top trust me. Time to look for some beautiful curtains!
Ahh YOUR OWN HOUSE ELISE!!!! 💕
Elise! I love your decor style and the randomness of your dish ware. I do the same…buying dishes and decor that bring me joy! It’s so much more satisfying to use things I love, rather than trying to make everything matchy. I think the open cabinets look nice, seeing your dishes displayed. Maybe just a curtain under the sink area will work for now. You can always change it for a door later on. Thank you for sharing your journey.
I love that you have your own shop! And now you have your own home and fixing it up so lovely. Love your videos. They bring so much color, joy and activity. 🥰❤️
How fun…I love watching all the nice transformations. I did the same thing with my first home, I removed the upper cabinets and it all seemed so much brighter and sunny. I added open shelves to grab my plates and I put in wood counter tops from Ikea and a pretty white sink. It made me just as happy as I see you are. Keep enjoying your new home, you are made for all of these projects. 🏡💕🪚🔨🪛📝
The kitchen looks much brighter 💜 not sure how much wood or MDF is in your part of the world and how much DIY you have done you could always make some doors especially if the sizes you require are difficult to get 💜 it will all come together 💜keep up the good work 💜
Maybe hang curtains that slide until you can get the cupboard doors. Curtains in place of cupboard doors used to be quite popular, especially to cover the sink area. I love your new home, and am so happy for you.
It's so wonderful to watch moving vlogs. I think it's because you get to see the progress without having to do any of the work and not having to feel the stress! Hope you will soon feel at home in this beautiful house and over time will grow it into a home you feel safe and happy in.
I would really recommend adding a large drawer with a door to the trash cupboard (so the whole cabinet is one drawer), inside the drawer you can add many trash bins for recycling. I did this in my home and it is very useful and much easier to reach the trash bins also :)
Your end tables in the bedroom are beautiful the way they are! The look of wood is so priceless, antique treasures!
Yayy 🥰
Elise until you find some cupboard doors you can hang up tension rods with curtains! That would look really cute in the kitchen for the time being!! Might make you feel more settled in the space less rushed until you find the perfect ones. Plus you get to play around with cute patterns 😊
You can make your own cabinet doors. I just love your place!!
Yes I also agree maybe with marine plywood
Find old solid wood doors and cut them to size...
The rug is so pretty and so you. I am so happy for you and proud of you. I've followed your journey and you have given me strength and inspiration in mine. Your abode is so pretty.
I too would use material for the cupboards....Vintage if you can find....lots of love to you my dear girl. thanks for making me happy
Elise, I just wanted to express what joy this video brought. After a long day, your video proves a lovely, soft companion to watch while eating dinner. The work you are doing on this home is just lovely. Im sure others have offered this idea, but I wonder about some pretty curtains serving as “doors” for now for those cabinets? Just a thought! Thank you for everything, Elise. You have made my night more peaceful than you even know.
Nothing like our own home. Also, it was smart to choose a house instead of an apartment. :)
Elsie - everything you touch turns to beauty. You are a very talented and unique young lady. I love, love, love watching your videos.
I teared up when you opened the front door mat that a subscriber bought for you So kind of that person
My sweet Elise. I can hardly wait to see if you come out with a new video everyday. I love everything you do and I admire and respect you so much. I’m so excited for you.
Your home is beautiful proud of you after all the stuff you have gone through you have become so much stronger and a warm hearted person.
Ohhh, Elise, your kitchen turned out so great 👍 I did want to tell Nooo don't throw those cabinet doors away, but hey, it is your home. Lol
I love those bedside tables. However, if you're going to set drinks with ice in them on it, I'd leave the glass top. Did you know you can spray paint wicker? 😉
I still can't believe you only have 200K subscribers! You are one of my favorite channels to watch and I love seeing everything you are doing with your cozy little home! Can't wait to see more in the future!
Elise it's already looking like a home! Love it! Hope you're feeling good in your own space😍 I have a little (well not so little) suggestion, maybe you could get a cat when you settle in? Don't know your full circumstances obvs, but I feel that sharing your space with an animal could be even more healing 😊
I like the idea of curtains for your cupboards as a temporary solution. What are you thinking for the windows? So fun watching you get organized 🌺
Good morning Elise, it's 2/7/23 the kitchen is looking 👀 nice 👍🏾 One thing I've learned is that if I see a pot that I like I still buy it. Because I can Always find a glass pot top in some Thrift shop somewhere. So u could've still bought the pot if" u liked it. PS. Darling' U can NOW! say; I'm going shopping for My Home 🏠. Not' the new house. You've finally arrived at ur awesome spot. I am so very very happy for you. Be blessed 🙏🏽💜😘 U should never throw out cabinet doors. If' anything u put them away not throw away. And the cabinets u took down u could've used some of those too. Even in closet room on the wall u could've put some folding clothes in them like sweaters, pants. U could've utilized them for storage. It's GREATTTTT to see U sooooo Happy 😊💜 Ur gifts where thoughtful and Beautiful. Elise when will u get another car ????🚗
I love the door mat!! And I'm so happy to see you excited about your house!
A tip with the tape, press it lightly on your clothing before sticking it to the surface, it still works just as well, but makes it easier to remove 🙂🌻
Love what you have done so far. I think that you are organized enough and your dishes, etc are cute enough that it doesn’t matter about the doors. As for under the sink, what about a curtain door? Get some pretty material ( enough to gather it up) & get a rod or hooks to hang it. You are talented and creative, so go for it!
Are you sure that you don’t want to keep the glass for the bedside tables? They serve a purpose. The wicker is pretty but the glass will keep things from turning over & making a mess - such as a glass of liquid, a vase of flowers, etc… everything else you want to do to them sounds great.
I was sooo overwhelmed last several months. And your video just calmed my brain and heart somehow. Your aesthetic is really adorable and you voice is so calming. Thank you!
Heyyyy absolutely love that thrift store !!!
Hi Elise Iam so proud of you of everything you have done since the beginning of your channel with your dreadlocks look. Now you have your house and a boutique. Sometimes to gain and win we have to pass hard and sad situations. You did it. Sendings a lot of blessing. Love the side tables first time in seeing that combination, I like it. The thrift store is amazing. Thanks for sharing. 💗🌹
You've been working so hard, your house is coming along so quickly.
When I saw your notification pop up on my phone, I just had to fix a coffee and watch. Somehow on this cold winter's day in America, a coffee just felt like the cozy thing to do. For now, you could always buy some material and cover the front of your kitchen cabinet and just thumb-tack them up or something (maybe a small window rod). With the price of everything going up in America and around the world, the luxury of owning a car gets harder and harder. Hope you can get another one soon as it makes life so much easier. Love your videos!
Your home is starting to come together! I know you have so much more work, but gradually your beautiful esthetic is taking shape.
Your bedroom is my favorite so far. Those curtains, bedside tables, flowered 💐 coverlet... just so lovely.
Keep up your courage, Elise. You are doing well.
Fabric in a white base and tiny pink flowers hung in front of the kitchen cabinets would be bright and go with your hallway. A tension rod on top and bottom would hold it tight for under the sink. Have fun.
Dear Elise, sooo happy for you, luv your new house, it's absolutely charming and sooo beautiful. Wonderful to see you in your own home. Luv & blessings.💕💕💕
Kitchen is looking great. Just a tip til you get doors on the cupboards you could always put up some curtains/fabric on the stretchy plastic coated wire for now. I think it would look cute. 😉
You can always use a vintage curtain like you did at the cottage to hide the mechanicals under your kitchen sink. Can't wait to watch the next video.
I totally think in the meantime until you can find an affordable solution to the cabinets, that you could get some flexible ceiling curtain rails (so it can go around corners if you wish), and add some cloth to cover the areas you wish had doors💕!
Just seeing you happy and smiling is so adorable!!! I love everything about your home!!!
Side tables are perfect!!!
Continue to enjoy the process of unpacking and organizing all your treasures. Everything will come together one item at a time. 😊
Even the bus ride….just enjoy the luxury of letting someone else worry about traffic!!! It’ll all be back to normal eventually.
Sending hugs and love from NC 🇺🇸
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
You have done a marvelous job on your house. I congratulate you on all the things you have been threw and have done. You are amazing Lady Elise.
It's so good to see you getting settled in to your new home and a new life. The kitchen is looking great. Don't worry about the cabinet doors, you will find something to replace them. You never know what you might find. Shutter doors would be nice, it might also be hard to find those in the right size, but sometimes you can remove slats and cut them down to fit. The bedside tables are so pretty. I love your taste in everything. Please be careful with vintage dishes, I'm not sure about the regulations there, but here in the US most older dishes have lead or other heavy metals in the paints. It was so sad for me to find that out as I had already collected a lot of many vintage dishware and cookware, but I just keep them as decor, I don't eat off them or cook in them anymore. Please take good care of yourself. We are all eager for more videos but give yourself as much time as you need to rest and process. Thank you for sharing with us.
