Don’t feel bad or ever apologise for your frustrations and real life. I appreciate watching someone deal with difficulties with grace and then to continue to peruse their goals. That’s commendable and real life. And it mirrors my own life and personal struggles. As much as KZbin can be a bit of escapes it’s refreshing and encouraging to see someone real. And it keeps us all hopeful and going too. House project too are a rollercoaster. My hubby is in construction and we are currently renovating a barn and making it our home. It’s up and down and surprises and changes and you name it. And then the cost! So don’t even worry, love. Big hugs! 🖤 the garden is looking beautiful!

[@EliseBuch]

Thaank you, lovely to hear I'm not alone struggeling a bit with it from time to time 🐹

[@maryeliason1504]

So much more light now! My birthday was the 14th. We have similar taste. I got $ for mine & it will pay for a trip to the nearby mts. I really love flowers too.

[@jeanlilley3139]

Agree w this, but I am single and help another do projects.

[@userrobinmp]

Elise! Dont be so hard on yourself, you did an inSANE amount of work on your home with all the planting, plastering, you gotta eat, sleep and work, WOW! You deserve that gift!, it was super nice of your subscriber to send you that❤❤❤ Everything looks beautiful, have another popcicle🥰

[@Lsmc7]

You are quite the inspiration to young and old Elise! That is a rare gift and I hope you know it!

[@Briardie]

I totally agree, Elise is half my age, yet she teaches me so much, she truly is inspirational.

[@EliseBuch]

Thank you ☺️☀️🌿

[@maryannknox7158]

Yes she is so beautiful and Amazing

[@janettekarling-bl4qs]

I am almost 75 years old. I am so proud of you. I feel like your grandmother. You always try your best and your best is very good. Keep on trying; your home has become so very beautiful with all your "tries". You are beautiful too and you are great in your vintage clothes.

[@christinewilson3892]

I am 77 I can relate to this too.I Absolutely Love Elise Everything about her. Sending you much Love x❤️

[@nancykintner9177]

I love white flowers in a garden as they reflect moonlight at night❤

[@Maria-fd7re]

Your garden sure is a sanctuary!

[@karenv525]

Your little house and garden is so sweet. What a blessing to be able to look outside and see all that wonderful nature blooming. It refreshes one's spirit I'm sure. I'm sure everyone understands that you're not a professional as far as the room reno is concerned. Just go at your own pace and don't feel pressured. Also please be careful climbing up and down and take your time. How lovely to receive such a lovely birthday surprise, enjoy.

[@jamieloom22]

You are doing so well with this challenging project. Take your time and I know it will be amazing when you are done.

[@EliseBuch]

Thank you ☺️

[@donnamullins2089]

The skylights are fabulous. Almost done with the mudding, taping and bedding. Not much more now. Sanding will be messy but I know you can do it. Garden is exploding with blooms. Just beautiful. Love the skirt collection. Pretty sweet birthday gift. Have a great week.

[@eggsfish2370]

Thank you for all your hard work and time to make your videos.. I'm sure I'm not alone in saying it's so nice you share your life and experiences with us...hope you manage to get all your putty work done on wonderful new sky light project its going to look amazing once you added all your special touches 😊.and plant therapy always help with taking your mind off things...have a great weekend..😊

[@EliseBuch]

Thaank you ☀️🌿

[@ceehunka7344]

Try calling paint stores to see if any private contractors have left their business cards with them that is how I found a painter last fall to do the outside trim on my fixer upper house good luck 🤞

[@vruth23]

beautiful white petunias! great choice, but, some advice - the lilac needs to be in the ground in full to part sun. It will get root bound in the pot, very quickly, that might kill it, especially if you leave it over winter. Instead, put the clematis in that spot with a trellis. It will do very well there. Spinach needs a lot of water Basil needs to dry out between watering.

[@sharonmakowsky172]

Hi, Elise! I am watching you today on my 76th birthday! So nice to watch your videos. I love them! You do you, Elise! It’s beautiful! Love the skylight. Your garden is divine! Hugs from Michigan!👍💜🌷🥰🎂

[@TheThriftyGma]

.. Happy Blessed Birthday. Sending you wishes of health, happiness and love. 🎉❤🎉

[@OssoLily-ix5vz]

Happy 76th birthday!🎉

[@odemonet]

Happy Birthday my 73rd is is less than a month! ❤️

[@LisaCaller]

You are a rock star! That’s a lot of hard work.

[@theresamariegoesplaces9688]

happy birthday!

[@murialpack5350]

I’ve followed your channel for years because you are you, not for what you are doing. Your personality is the draw for me, because you are such an authentic and genuinely sweet person. I don’t tune in to keep a”tally” of your “accomplishments” or pass judgment. I tune in to see a real person, dealing with real life….a friend. I don’t know how you manage to do everything that you do. You are a phenomenal force of nature in your determination! Don’t listen to the “voice in your head”, because for most of us women, our head is not a nice place to be. “Talk” to yourself the way you would talk to someone else. We are often so much kinder and encouraging to everyone but ourselves. You truly are going above and beyond your best! You are so much more than enough! 😁🤗🥰

[@jac1797]

Your garden is so absolutely gorgeous!🎉 what a gift!

[@EliseBuch]

🌱☔️❤️☀️

[@chattyjo1]

The whole point about having your own place is making your mark on it. If it takes a few weeks or 2 seasons especially if your doing it by yourself then you will always remember the journey you took to get to the final goal. Never apologise for figuring out what to do next and how to make it happen x

[@Jolynn777]

Hello Elise. I am 60 years old, and when I see everything you are able to accomplish, I'm amazed. It's cliché but true...all good things take time. It's OK to be frustrated. It's part of the process. It took me 60 years to accept this😅❤

[@janettescott580]

Hi Elise, I was thinking how well you have done so far since you have been in that house and your business. You should be very proud of yourself and all you have accomplished. Well done girl.❤

[@EliseBuch]

Thank you so much ☺️

[@mamazeno1672]

Lilacs cannot go into pots only in the ground because the roots need a lot of room.🐝

[@EliseBuch]

A guy at the nursery didn't say another like that. By time I might have to move it, but it doesn't grow massive in a week ☺️ Unfortunately not hehe

[@kimgregory2781]

Here in the states we usually hire a professional for Sheetrock finishing because it is hard to get a good finish. Especially that high up.

[@karenroe6270]

You are absolutely amazing. But we know its you & only you doing this for us. We are cheering you on & are amazed how much you get accomplished in 1 week. It will be absolutely gorgeous at the end of the project. And guess what ???? We will watch & wait. Have a truly blessed week. 💖🌟

[@Kel642]

What I have been waiting for with excitement has happened.....your garden was reborn. It is one of the most beautiful gardens I have seen. The skylight is looking fantastic, and does bring in much light and design improvement, breaking up the long room.

[@vickinoeske1154]

Real life renovations take time and are never without hiccups. Thank you for being authentic. ❤

[@BettyAllen-yx4wm]

Please let us know where to find you.missing you and hope you will come back!!!!!

[@AmmaLove24]

Taping and mudding is a specialized trade. Most people can not do it well and have no idea how much work and expertise it takes. You almost always leave it to a professional. Most people find out the hard way.

[@chrisd487]

My husband tried putting up new wallboard, tape, sanding and painting .... all the seams were visible when he was done. So that's a huge challenge to take on. No one will think less of you if you have to rethink your plans as your time is valuable also!

[@Flipper568]

We don’t need a neat bow on projects. I think you should be extremely proud of how much you’ve done to make your home beautiful. The skylights are beautiful & are going to look amazing 🤩. Don’t be deterred. You have got this! 💪

[@TheMsfairytail]

Joint tapes on plasterboards are really difficult to do. My husband, who is a true handy man didn't do it himself when we have renovated our old farmhouse. We hired a specialised company which did it better and faster than anything we could have ever done. So don't feel guilty, it's just a boring job.

[@maryraymond8375]

My husband is a drywall finisher. It's messy, hard work! I commend Elise for even attempting it. I wish she could let professionals do that part and then she could do the painting herself. Elise is such a hard worker! 😊

[@heatherburrill]

As someone who worked on finishing a ceiling ages ago, I know how ambitious a project it is. Way different than doing walls as you know because you are working over your head on the horizontal- which as you know is so tiring. You did a lot without sacrificing your garden and other work. When it isn’t a team of professionals there is a lot of figuring out involved - like scaffolding over ladder, you also do have time to figure out what you want to add - like electricity to open windows with your phone. Luckily the daylight is long. You are definitely not alone on experiencing the bumps of home renovations. Good timing on this project as you may have lost a room for the time being but you have gained the sunny days garden space.

[@JR-kz2xn]

Your garden is so beautiful Elise. You are so blessed. It's magical.

[@Laura-rx9mp]

Hi!!!! I enjoy so much seeing your progress, but Elise, I think your contractors can come back and finish the ceiling in just a few hours, you re so very busy, my gosh, amazing determination.Cheers

[@monicavonr9029]

It's a perfect place to put a hammock and some green plants hanging from the beams

[@dejah85]

So in love with Spring🌷🌻 Thank you for another lovely video Elise🩷

[@EliseBuch]

Thaank you 🥰 And me too

[@jillychandler]

You have come so far with everything Elise, your job at your shop, your You Tube channel, your lovely garden and your home, and you have done this all on your own. I think that you are amazing. xxx

[@nancymosley708]

That’s what I love about your channel is that you are real with us. You tackled more than I could dream of doing. You always inspire me. And garden breaks are a must. That and thrifting are therapeutic in my opinion. 🥰 I love the gift you were sent. It looked like you got a wall pocket. The piece you thought was a lampshade. I think you hang it up and could put flowers in it. 🌺

[@cerwelt]

We all have disappointments and challenges. I’m glad you don’t mask or hide yours. So many KZbinrs make it look like their lives are perfect. Fake fronts and false faces. You will get your house the way you want. The challenges make us appreciate the good things that much more. Success.

[@shivanisherman3921]

Your garden is just so beautiful. It makes me forget all my problems and for a few moments I’m lost in all that beauty. Thank you for sharing.

[@ehpeachylove]

Elise your garden is looking fabulous. Everyone has their frustrations and we just keep plugging along until we work it all out and get the you know what completed. I’m single and 76, and I know what you’re dealing with. Do what you can, and then as funds are available and you need some help, then go for it. You do not need to apologize for anything my dear, you are doing great! The skylights are super cool and you will be so happy when it’s all completed. Not only do you tackle home projects, you run your own business too. Please know you are appreciated and loved by many of us around this world. Such an inspiration with laughter, style, and so many talents that you take for granted but we see you my friend. Carry on Elise! Let that light of yours shine bright. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@susanhayirli8474]

Your skylights are wonderful already... they have transformed your room

[@jeremywall4913]

Love seeing the gifts you get, you deserve every single one!!! If I could afford to send you some I would as well ❤🙂

[@mssassypat]

love all the flowers. Your garden is so beautiful and peaceful

[@EliseBuch]

Thank you! ☀️✨️ And thank you for being a member

[@artifactartstudio107]

Don’t lose hope Elise. You are real and that’s why we watch you and love you. A scaffold will help you greatly. 💪🏻💪🏻

[@BiornBear]

You are a absolutely stunning young woman. I love all your videos, they make me feel calm and happy. Thank you.

[@nanrottkamp5817]

Is that gift a lampshade? It looks like a container to hang on a wall and put plants or flowers in. Maybe on that beautiful wall you create d outside?

[@premmens]

Just a thought Elise, the Clematis you have growing near your house could get up under your eaves and do some damage, they can get rather thick branches. Your garden is just wonderful and full of colour.

[@patriciagrant4913]

Elise the garden looks so beautiful! I'm glad you will be hiring out for help with the skylight project. It's a lot of work for one person. I was afraid you might fall off that ladder! I know it will be amazing once it's all done. You have so much to do already. It's also great to see you trying to do things that are more cost effective. You are such an inspiration. 💕

[@helenpetersen7174]

Home projects are usually not "fast" your doing fine. Idea that may help is to get a good solid board to lay across those wood "beams", that way u can put your buckets/tools on it so your not balancing everything on edges or your pockets. It takes time. Thanks for your video. Have a lovely week. :D

[@souffle53]

I thought what a brave choice to do all the taping yourself! The higher spots especially. Please get the carpenters to do it and be done with it so you can enjoy your new space. 💓

[@EliseBuch]

But they don't have time 🤭 So not an option

[@heatherburrill]

Your garden area is an absolute dream❤🥰❤ what a lovely retreat from the house renovations. Take the time you need for the finishing of the walls. So important to get the mud work smooth before the painting, a practice in patience, perseverance and in the end beautiful results. And if you get someone to finish the job - you will appreciate their work all the more.

[@getthoma300]

Hang in there Elise, you are a patient warrior. Everything will be beautifully completed. 🙏🏽💯

[@asweetiepiebtw2032]

Elise that is a PLANTER. to hang on a wall with a plant inside it. amazed at what you are accomplishing in your home. keep up the great work as well as your business, garden, and all the rest! xo

[@maryannknox7158]

Elise your garden 🪴 looks so beautiful this year

[@jodyalaniz]

Can’t wait to see the room finished, but also understand it’s all a process. We all go through the same thing. ❣️

[@ILoveYou-hk6kf]

Hello Elise 😊😊. Tis my birthday today and watching your videos are always really comforting to watch so this is the best way to end the day... 💙💜

[@EliseBuch]

Aw happy birthday! ☺️☀️ I'm glad you enjoy my videos

[@pennynickels5216]

🎉🍕🎁✨️🎂

[@user-tp8wr7lv7y]

Hi Elise, your remodel project is amazing. Taping and plastering is such hard work and a skill . My husband is a master carpenter and even he hires the taping project out. I am joining to become a sunshine member today to help you save to complete your project. I was a patron on yours in the past. I’m in awe of all you do, such an inspiration to all of us.

[@victorrock1997]

The flower shop is so beautiful! There is so much beauty there that it's overwhelming! It's an overwhelming enough experience to watch so much beauty! Very beautiful and commending garden and house work! All the best and plenty of success in everything you do! Have an excellent day! 🙂

[@neuIyn]

Sunflowers do a lot better when you direct sow them! They get bigger and are a lot more stable. Try putting a few in the ground outside when it’s hot enough. ❤️

[@EliseBuch]

I have done both 🤭☀️

[@neuIyn]

Yay! Excited to see all of them grow!

[@h.k.617]

Everything will BE fine, dear Elise.

[@ellenolmstead5026]

Elise your skylight looks fantastic. Good eye.( good choice). Can't wait to see the result.

[@sheilacirioni4676]

Hello Elsie..your garden is so beautiful. So is your home..You are quite the worker..you never seem to have a negative thought,you just do it. You have so many clothes,how do you keep track? You are worth it.Take care young lady& breath in the flowers/ with ice coffee.🤗❤🐞🌺🦋🌸🐠🐚💮🦀🦜🌴

[@MarianneInmarsilia]

Looks great….it’s not an easy job and the new skylight nook is very high ! Be careful and bravo

[@avjohnson]

You have an amazing home and your garden is heavenly!

[@pamelahansen5928]

Your pink outfit looks lovely on you - and all your hard work will pay off in huge dividends - we are cheering you on ♥️🪴

[@penelopesparrow]

You and I have very similar garden tastes - green and white and plenty of it LOL You were so lit up with those floral baskets! I admire both your guts to think you could do the putty and your grace in giving it over to someone else, but I also love that it's just you doing what you can on your own. You might not hahaha but it just feels more relatable. Other channels with their on-hand team and sponsorships don't make these projects feel accessible to me. You're inspiring me for when i renovate my father's house next year. 💝✨

[@DC-cd5tv]

Love the skirt thee this week! I am committed to wearing only dresses and skirts this summer! Very pretty. And what a lovely birthday package!! So you.

[@lauriehominick9987]

Can hardly believe all you do! Do you even realize how inspiring you are? Beautiful , talented lady! ❤

[@HB-lo8dj]

Wow Elise, you are just amazing. I am astounded by your work ethics, level of energy, amount of creativity and your gentle nature. It's like watching a fairy going about her every day life in a magical orb. You've managed what you've set out to do, create a unique channel worth watching.

[@islandgirl1818]

I just love the calming affect you have in your videos. Have a fantastic weekend Elise ❤

[@EliseBuch]

Thank you ☺️ you too 🌱✨️☀️

[@tdhawk167]

Do you know that you can wet sand? You use a wet to damp sponge, dunking and rinsing it out in water- I would use a small easy to hold bucket. Use the sponge like you would sandpaper. I learned this while working for a contractor years ago rehabbing a Victorian house in the Catskills. It works like a charm and cuts down on the dust. Bit easier on your arms and much easier on your lungs.

[@EliseBuch]

REALLY?! I'll try to google this for sure. Thanks ☺️☀️

[@lizdaugherty5607]

You can cut some of the leaves on your spinach plant, and it will regrow new leaves. I have one too, and I can't wait to try it. It's called cut and come again. Enjoy!

[@myfavs253]

The glass vase with the stopper is called a vinegar cruet. I have a collection from my grandmother. They come in all shapes and sizes. Some are etched and some have a lavender hue. I love them.

[@joleenbeling2336]

It will all come together even though you are feeling frustrated. Just leave it for a day or two and then you sit back and decide how you want to move forward. I am a single mom of twins so am forced to do so much on my own. You are super talented and determined. You will get it right ❤

[@LotusLady70]

Your flowers are so beautiful and the White Petunias are so gorgeous.❤ please be careful with your home project.Hope you have a wonderful weekend 🤗

[@helengarland9079]

What a beautiful Garden you've created truly magical and i'm loving your new plant's and flower's.Well Done by the way getting up and down that scary ladder.Fantastic job Elise but remember to take time out and breath .Your so cute and lovely in your vintage clothes and surrounding's. 🤗💖🌻🌼🪴🩰👡👟

[@mariannamacomber2114]

You take on crazy jobs the rest of us wouldn't even attempt. Brava! The sky lights are making a huge difference in your livingroom feel. Don't worry you'll get this.

[@MaryBeth1965]

Your garden is beautiful, Elise. I love white flowers also 💟

[@lindaedwards7840]

Hello Elise, great video, your hard work will pay off your reward the satisfaction of getting on with the job all your ideas coming together, lovely parcel of gifts too, it's great to see your garden coming together also . I quite often spend hours in my gardens and without a break always a surprise to realise 4/5 hours passing so quickly , no hardship all to the good and very beneficial. Looking forward to seeing the outcome of your hard work and patience. Hugs and Blessings to you Elise. 💚🌹

[@cozeydaze]

I love petunias and I love the white look in general...I picked up some petunias last week but was really overwhelming all the different colours. So I might go back and get some white now!

[@agnesrousset3705]

Élise, what you do, what you wear, everything is so beautiful..you speak of challenges but you all make it so easy to do..I love your stunning garden and housse. I wish I could be half as gifted as you are. Thank you for making me dream everything is possible

[@tammyroyal7547]

Hi Elise!! Just seeing all of those plants just made me want to rush out & get a bunch of my own!! Your garden is truly spectacular!! Please don't apologize for your challenges that you encounter!! You are only human as we all are!! Granted you are a rock star girl boss 💪😊 & so gifted in whatever you do!! You always make me smile & inspire me!! Take care sweet girl 🌷🌻💐

[@angelaglidewell]

No hurries no worries. Always love to watch.❤

[@YvonneWilliams-wg8kx]

Elise, it's YOUR home, YOUR time, YOUR life. Keep living it your way. If it takes you a year to do that skylight (safely) and you are happy with that, then so be it. If you feel you need to get help, then that's also ok, you do a whole lot more than some of us behind our phone screens. Girl its taken me 3 years to reno my kitchen to my standards and liking. It may not be 100 percent perfect but I am happy and have saved soooo much money😀

[@merrimcarthur7198]

Scaffolding will make your life soooooooooooo much easier and safer. Real life happens, luvie. It's all good. You're doing marvelously.

[@a2zin125]

I am yet to meet someone more productive at your age. Take you time, and don't feel guilty. Life is to be enjoyed while you are getting shit done!

[@kathleenrichardson6695]

You'll get there in the end Elise. Baby steps! It's going to look wonderful when it's all finished. Think of that along the way. That was a lovely video. A bit of everything - pretty clothes, renovations and your wonderful garden. Lots of love to you.

[@amybennett1530]

Love it, everything is coming together beautifully. You're an inspiration and a joy to watch. Keep up the good work! 💜

[@Floppyearsmomma]

The light is amazing from your new ceiling windows! Your hard work shows!

[@PamelaSomers-qq4cp]

You’re doing a great job! Loving the skylight’s so much. You’re the Danish Wonder Woman! Enterprising and talented all in one. Your sense of style is so refreshing. It will come together ❤️thank you so much for sharing!

[@beckyrea2262]

Hay honey, I’m a decorator & it can take about 4/5 days (8hrs a day) on a room & plus your working as well, just take your time & enjoy the process you’ll get there, just not as fast as you want it too 🥰❤️❤️❤️

[@karinlynncumming5397]

Smart girl leaving it to the professionals. It can wait till summer is over if need be and you can save up for the drywallers. Who wants to be inside in the summer anyway.

[@maryraymond8375]

Every video of yours has good content! Whatever you are doing in life, that is what we like to see. We all love you!

[@brendalyn73]

Elise you are doing a great job. Taping & mudding is hard work especially working in high places. It's a job I don't love. Your garden is so beautiful! What a sanctuary to relax in. 💗🥀

[@Moma222]

Your garden is beautiful 💚

[@EliseBuch]

Thaanks ✨️☀️

[@almathees3839]

TGIF!🎈🥳🎉 Beautiful garden flowers!🌸 Scaffolding is safer for the sky light patching!!! 🙌🏻❤️💋🫶🏻

[@karlaharvey2623]

Your Garden/ Backyard is so stunningly beautiful Elise. Love it, and I know you really do as you sit outside and enjoy the array of colors and scents of the roses and flowers. You do such amazing work in your home and garden. Bless your heart, when the skylights are complete, you will look back and think it wasn’t so bad. It will all be so worth it. Cannot wait to see the transformation of your living room and kitchen. Have a great, fun filled wkend. Be safe ok. Much love: Karla in Oklahoma

[@michellebyrom6551]

Renting scaffold for skylight access makes a lot of sense. You'll be confident enough to paint that way. Seems a waste to pay someone to paint (the easy stage) when you've done all the hard work of preparation. If electrifying the skylights isn't possible, or affordable right now, the old way was to use a long pole with a hook. It would stand out of the way in your utility room. The metal pot you called a lampshade is meant to go on the wall for plants or utensils. ;)

[@nitajosleyn4182]

You certainly seem in your Happy 😍Place in the garden!! The new skylights are amazing!!

[@lorettavalmorbida7793]

You are so sweet, love your gardening. you so love plants and flowers as I do. Your clothes you wonderful on you, the last outfit was gorgeous.

Thanks for the video, Elise! The pants are the perfect fit! As for the work, don't put pressure on you, work will not run away , take it easy on you! Regards!
