5 Easy Ways to Simplify Your Home

[@aymeahrens1283]

What a peaceful home you have! I agree, especially about natural materials in the home. They have a totally different energy than plastics, MDF, polyesters, etc.

[@FairylandCottage]

Ayme Ahrens yeah don't they. Some cheap mdf, plastics etc actually emit toxins into the environment (so I've been told)

[@LadyLJOII]

Airing the house when it gently rains or snows creates a great cleansing environment .

[@thejagopinathan3971]

Seeing indian epics in the fairyland cottage is sweet.❣

[@ApartmentDecorCo]

Actually the whole world knows the importance of Hinduism and its teachings. Except the Indians themselves, who just fight and make fun of these things.

[@dianer8881]

Because of asthma, I store almost everthing away. I only display a few items at a time that are easy to clean in the kitchen sink. I rotate display items on 2 narrow shelves over my kitchen windows.

I enjoy bright colors. In my parlor, I have a large oriental red rug, a navy couch, red chair, a table lamp and pole lamp. Nothing more.

[@Gena777-r95]

I enjoy pops of color but I also added a bit more color in my parlor with a beautiful rug and an art piece. It was all based around that piece of art that I could not do without, Lol. I do like the natural elements in a home though. They ground the home and make it feel strong, yet comfortable ❤

Thank you , I do enjoy your videos so much . I'm living at home with my mom , dad and brother . My parents are older and need care , my kids are adults and no longer need me . So, I'm at home with them . The house is looking less cluttered and cared for in comparison to what it was once . I get overwhelmed st times , because there is just so much stuff . Unfortunately, the dusting is the hardest thing for me . I try , but it seems I can never quite tackle all of it since there are other priorities that take presidence . I'm going to do a little everyday so it doesn't get overwhelming for me . Thanks again for the ideas you share on your channel , I appreciate them very much . Have an amazing Summer 2019. Much love to you :D .

I am really enjoying your videos, they are wonderfully calming and inspiring. It’s wonderful to find someone on KZbin who seems very genuine as opposed to having this kind of lifestyle for the aesthetic and for the viewers. Please keep doing what you do, watching these videos are a lovely way to have some downtime! Also, slight deviation, any recommendations of places to visit in Ireland? I’ve always wanted to visit and given how close it is there really is no excuse for me not to!

[@FairylandCottage]

Ah thanks so much for the lovely compliment. It means a lot and you are very kind. Anywhere along the coast is beautiful in Ireland. the west coast is more wild and the east coast more sunny. The west of Ireland is also more natural and traditional than the east. Cork, Kerry and Clare are great counties and where I live in Wicklow is wonderful. If you need any more help when you are visiting let me know. email me at [e-mail] or chat on dm on Instagram and I'll help.

@@FairylandCottage If you have a decent sized Rosemary bush, one traditional way to polish wood is to rub it with handfuls of Rosemary sprigs. The natural oils help to polish the wood & make it fragrant. I imagine Lavender would work too. You could rub the wood with the end of a softish beeswax candle or bar before you use the plant on it for a bit of extra polish.
