The love that you and Olaf put into the cottage is visible in the incredible craftsmanship and attention to detail. Great job. The cottage looks fantastic!
I am blown away by how the cottage turned out. It is soothing to the soul and has a certain je ne sais quoi that is appealing. The tonal interior draws your eyes to the beautiful countryside views through the windows. Job well done! ❤️
You guys did an amazing job! Your cottage is simply beautiful and very serene. I love the colors and finishes. Definitely a little slice of paradise to balm your soul
lots of attention to detail, the finished product is just dreamy...sometimes I wonder if the previous owners, or family of the previous owners who spent time there in the past would recognize the house today. I am sure they would be happy to know that there are people who appreciate the property and are taking excellent care of it!
Such a lovely cottage, Marloes. You and Olaf really do put your hearts into your work and it shows! Guests are really going to feel very relaxed and comfortable. My best wishes for your endeavor.
A great job done to both of you. It’s incredible how you can put a bedroom, living space, dining, kitchen and bathroom all in that space. Good for a holiday let.
Hello from New Zealand...so thrilled to see your beautiful cottage finished. You both have done a stunning job...well done..it's georgeous! Thankyou for sharing😊
You and Olav did an amazing job! All your hard work and resilience and determination paid off and it’s simply beautiful! Thank you for taking all of us along on your journey and we can’t wait for more exciting things to come! Blessings to you and your family always🙏🏻
It's very beautiful -- so tranquil -- perfect for a real get-away! And the private outdoor space is a real bonus. Congratulations on a job very well done!
It's absolutely stunning! You should be so proud of yourselves! The amount of work and attention to detail is truly inspiring! I'm sure your guests will be delighted!
The amount of love and skill that has gone into this cottage...is just the best! Love the attention to detail, and all your choices,are so intentional. Fabulous job, and just so inspiring Love❤
Such a beautiful Cottage. Absolutely perfect! There is an air of blissful romance in what you have created. Your guests are indeed pampered by your skillful decorating and all the lovely amenities you have provided for them.
Absolutely gorgeous Marloes and so serene. You did indeed capture the true French farmhouse feel. So happy for you that you are now able to welcome guests.
Wow the space before was definitely a blank slate. I hadn’t realized how much work you both put into the space until I saw this video. The result is simply warm, calming and decorated with good taste keeping in line with slow living in the country side. ❤❤❤❤
Your beautiful little Cook's cottage will make a lot of holiday makers very , very happy......all that hard work has paid off !!......I can imagine the windows wide open with the gentle breeze slowly ruffling the curtains to and fro , a tiny vase of wild flowers placed just so in the middle of the kitchen table waiting patiently for someone to notice their delicate petals appearing almost transparent in the morning sun , as it flooded the little Cook's Cottage kitchen.......sounds like the beginning of an irresistible novel ........Cherryl from Canada
@@FrenchCountryLife Actually I think you are writing it ,,,,a " mind novel"" , one design at a time , one placement of a brocante crock at a time , one quaint sketch on the mantle at a time ,,,,,,,,it's just not on paper , it is there for you and your guests to enjoy ,,,,,,,,,,,a novel of memories Cherryl from Canada
Thanks! It’s not a color you can really choose though. The color and result are defined by the sand and lime you use, it’s a traditional sand-lime-water render but we absolutely love how it turned out and I couldn’t have done better if I had had to pick a color I think…
Stunning. It looks so serene. I appreciate your style. The details. The brass shower head, the brick in bathroom, rhe hooks, the wall treatment, the floors.. the muted tones, its really, really well done! Congratulations to you both. That was a ton of hard work. It always pays off in the end.
Wow Marloes, it's more than amazing! and it doesn't look rushed at all! May the current, and hundreds more guest feel at home and cozy! Well done! (the two of you must be wrecked! I know that feeling from running two small guesthouses)
Congratulations! It looks great! You are both so talented and skilled to know how to renovate this building. Love all the details of how you furnished it.
How lovely! You both have worked so hard to achieve your goals, well done the cottage looks beautiful , definitely a calming retreat from the hustle of daily life. Maybe something I will put on my bucket list.
So beautiful and calming. I wish I were planning a trip to France. Your sense of style is so simple that it almost seems wrong to call it a style. It seems like it just HAPPENS, so effortlessly and with so little. But the result is stunning.
So beautiful! I love the clean, fresh look of the French cottages you put together. You are an excellent home decorator! Love from wine country in Northern California
Sou da Bahia e moro em São Paulo Brasil, seu talento atravesou o atlântico e estou muito feliz com a recomendação do UA-cam. Estou vendo todos seus vídeos e amando, confesso que lágrimas de alegria rolaram, com o retorno de seu gato 🐈. Eu tenho 2 🐈🐈 . Eu desejo a você e sua família, saúde, benção e vida longa. Obrigada 🌸.
I keep being more and more amazed by what he’s capable of. It’s not easy to translate vision and ideas into something that actually looks like you had imagined. He’s the best! (And I’m not just saying that because I’m his wife 😊)
@@FrenchCountryLife No doubt you are justifiably a little bias but from what I can see from the video and as a retired carpenter in remodeling and construction I would say pretty darn good. He will only get even better with more experience so keep him busy! Lol, Sorry Olav, but I think you like the work, otherwise it wouldn't look so good.
So tastefully done. Remodeling is hard, challenging and rewarding...problem is it never seems to be done...always another project. Your talents match well...tres bon
It turned out just beautiful and cossy sending the best of the wishes very nice compromised and hard work has turned out to be a wonderfull place congrats take care regards💕
Your videos are always quiet and peaceful and generous. Thank you 🙂 Congratulations for the cottage. You have a wonderful taste. It is very beautiful. You don't often speak French in your videos, but I must say that when you do, you have an incredibly good accent ! How did you get it ? 🙂👏
@@FrenchCountryLife I know you studied French ! But that accent ??? 🙂 Est-ce que tous les étudiants néerlandais acquièrent un accent comme le vôtre ? 😁😉 Je ne pense pas. Je pense que vous avez un don 😉
@@heliedecastanet1882 ne sais pas. J’ai toujours un accent et je n’essaie pas de le cacher. Je suis néerlandaise et fière de l’être. Quand les gens d’ici me disent que j’ai un petit accent (pourtant charmant 😂) je leur réponds: vous aussi! Puisque l’accent bourguignon… disons qu’il n’est pas subtil 😂 Mais j’adore! J’aime vraiment beaucoup cette région, ses habitants, nos traditions d’ici comme notre ban bourguignon. Fière d’être d’origine néerlandaise mais tout aussi fière de vivre ici! 🍇🐂 🇫🇷
@@FrenchCountryLife Vous avez bien raison de ne pas essayer de cacher votre accent🙂 Un accent, c'est comme une petite musique sur une langue. C'est si joli. Ça fait voyager. Je suis ravi pour vous que vous soyez heureuse en Bourgogne avec votre famille. C'est effectivement une belle région, et votre maison et tout ce que vous faites contribuent à leur tour aux charmes de la région. Merci pour tout ce que vous faites 🙂 Je vous souhaite un très bon week end !
