Bedroom makeover! New paper & painted panelling for a cosy cottage vibe 🏡✨

[@dianekinney4907]

Oh Catherine I laughed so hard at you feeling the need to explain why you were buying the protective covers …I didn’t want him to think I’m a murderer😂

[@DaintyDiaries]

I had to cover myself 🤣🤣

[@lindamercer1736]

Hi Catherine, we went through a phase with our little one. Like you said once the Vet ruled all medical out he asked, if we had changed anything in the house, moved furniture, any alterations. We were at the time in the middle of re decorating our bedroom and that was it - it has upset her. As soon as the room was finished she was fine. You find cats come over all bully boys LOL but they are very sensitive wee soles, bless them, LOVELY video once again, thoroughly enjoyed it. Where was your Mug of Tea? x

[@connieh.4689]

Yes, common behavior for "some" kitties that don't like changes in routine, new smells, etc...got to admit, lots going on 😊

[@DaintyDiaries]

That’s good that she settled for you guys! Oh the mug of tea was had as always 😍

[@neweverymorningmercy3491]

"Trim, caulk and paint, make me the carpenter I ain't" also, "Do your best and caulk the rest". I live by it! The striped wallpaper is a nice contrast with the other room, the room turned out just lovely.

[@DaintyDiaries]

Words to live by!! 😍🤩

[@lauriedunn6198]

The stripe is much calmer than the previous paper, even though it was pretty. Love how real you are...expecially about the cats

[@meeperbird]

What a soothing green color on that wallpaper!

[@DaintyDiaries]

I thought so too 😍 nice spring refresh

[@shazanata]

Catherine you are so funny. Love your sense of humour and personality. Your DIY skills are amazing. So glad i found your channel years ago. Thank you for being fun.

[@milessavincent5006]

We had a cat like that. Stress and change was the cause. A veterinarian once told me,”a cat may look chilled but they are like a duck chilled on the top of the water, but under their feet are petaling like crazy. “ good luck.

[@pamallen2498]

I have been watching your channel for several years, may I say you are one of the nicest people to watch. My family is from Ireland a few generations back. My grandmothers name was Clarinden McLanhan. She was born in 1886 and was first or second generation. Any way, I love all your decorations and colors, best wishes on your channel.

[@DaintyDiaries]

Thanks for watching all these years Pamela ❤️❤️ wow you’ll have to visit Ireland now and go back to your roots!

[@jaznz53]

Catherine if you ever decide to sell your house and upsize or relocate, the buyer will have a great record of all the renovations you have had done. These videos show how much work and time you have put into keeping your home beautiful. The house/home photo shoot is going to be epic. Cats hate aluminum foil so you can cover the bed with it and she won't jump on the bed again. You could cut the doors in half and make the top half a place to hang clothes and place clothes on shelves on one side. Leave the bottom part for your storage. And seeing as guests don't need to go in the storage area you could place a small bedside unit in front of the bottom doors when guests are staying for their book, coffee, or a lamp to read by.

[@martinalenz5029]

Wow, Catherine. Again you are so active and full of energy. I remember when you renovated this room with the special technique. That was hard to do! And now you renovate it again. I like the wallpaper.And I fully agree that cream is the best choice. Good taste, dear Catherine.👌🙋‍♀️❤

[@Ninja0814]

A suggestion for wall art in the guest bedroom is for you to photograph several flowers/plants in your lovely garden. Choose three of your favourites and frame them in matching frames. Hang them in a vertical line centred on the wall. By doing this, you have personalized your decor and preserved your gardening successes. ❤

[@Mary10538]

I always am amazed at what you do with your beautiful home and garden. I'm 70 years old and I used to be able to do so much but I've slowed down😢

[@DaintyDiaries]

You’ve earned your time to slow down now Ann!! Enjoy the relaxation too and it doesn’t always have to be massive things you do ❤️

[@loisrader8089]

I love your home. I'm 76 and from America and I'm amazed at your beautiful home. It's so warm and cozy ❤

[@conniemorgan8402]

70 yr old, too.. it’s always something.. right now I have a torn rotator cuff.. can barely fold the laundry. Can’t put my cast iron skillet in the oven. But, grateful for another day 😉beats the alternative ❤️

[@magscouk]

@@conniemorgan8402 Ouch! That sounds painful Connie. As a 70 yr old I too love to follow Catherine and remember when I did those kinds of things. I’ve learned to slow down now and still achieve a great deal and once your injury heals, you will too! Best wishes from Scotland. X

[@loriar1027]

Same here at 63. I need a lot more naps between projects. 😂

[@l.annahlstromdickson7497]

I love my cats, but there are definitely days where the thought, "You're lucky you're cute" comes to mind. I've only had the stress pee a handful of times and I've found that they're so sensitive to change. Once the house calms down they'll return to normal. Inspiring video once again. I'm now eyeing my space to see where I can put a tiny bit more wood trim so it's more elegant.

[@lauriedunn6198]

a little shelf on the side of the cupboard for a bedside "table" just big enough for eye glasses or a drink of water would be nice.

[@kimbwf629]

I came here to say that lol. Even a lamp or sconce? Overhead lights can be a bit harsh to read by at bedtime. ❤❤

[@ritameza2961]

Love these interesting with variations so interesting I'm home alone as I watched and listened to your video I felt like a friend came over to visit me ❤ hugs to the 2 pretty cats ❤

[@Julie-n9b]

“Practical & pretty” - love it!! - Julie

[@irisstormo6913]

I love Miss Hyacinth but if I really need a good laugh I have to watch The Vicar of Dibley. I hope you like that too. With everything the world is going through these two ladies are good moral boosters. 🌺🌲🌺

[@janettehutton8634]

I can’t believe how time has flown. 2020 when you did that panelling 😮.

[@DaintyDiaries]

It is wild isn’t it!! That time just flew in!

[@grandmapam]

Caulk and paint make me the carpenter I ain't. 😅❤

[@triciacarolkilbride2993]

My late cat Kya wa 0:02 0:02 s similar...any stress at all, moving a room round , decorating, she peed my sons bed..test after test and was all down to be a nervous cat who didn't like change..as she got older, it rarely happened and even when my son had seizures, it didn't faze her. Old Jack 20+ had a urine infection...wet my bed ( luckily I always use mattress protectors) changed it all...and yup, before I could get in it, he wet it again...once he got his meds, he never did it again but that shower curtain stayed on the bed fir a few weeks, just in case! 😂 Wee room is lovely, so fresh and warm and stripes make it look bigger too and green my favourite colour! I added mirror tiles on the wardrobe in my wee room...big big mistake with pets...you're cleaning it every day! Love your necessary clutter on the wardrobe...my cupboards the same , at least outta sight! I'd paint the ceiling cream...personally I hate white stark ceilings and think cream is warmer and lowers the ceiling too! 😊ps have a pal who is a decorator and said decorators love caulk so much, it's known in the trade as Painter's Mate! 😂😂 xx

[@valeriepasbrig2864]

I love how your guest bedroom looks. Yes, very English cottage.

[@pomme800]

Very pretty wallpaper Catherine....:))) Maybe for the future, a small wall lamp on the side of the wardrobe to read in bed

[@ead9726]

Well…… I have never seen those types of rollers before…………. Where have I been?😳😂lovely finish Catherine, well done.

[@Mor-garden]

Your videos give me so much peace. Thank you.❤

[@monad8880]

Love your new spring decor,. I have a HOT TIP.. Sprinkle washing powder to remove moss or algae. let Mother natures rain take care of it, works like magic. Thanks Catherine

[@lindaroyal8161]

Love sage and cream, my favorite color scheme, that color of cream is perfect. The room looks good. Ahhhh, another Monica Closet! Ha ha ha Cats - Spay is female & Neuter is male. Sometimes when cats pee outside the litter box, it's their way of telling you something is wrong, urinary tract infection, sometimes. I don't let my cats in my bedroom. I don't want cat hair and litter paws on my bed or pillows. They walk in the litter box and don't want them walking on my bedding where I sleep. They are not allowed on my counters and certain pieces of furniture, trained with a spray water bottle.

[@Suid-Afrika67]

Perhaps a good idea to keep the doors closed if not in use. I really like the stencil work on the wall. xx

[@lynngliottone2812]

I think you should go with color on the ceiling. Cream would be pretty, or perhaps the pale green. Can't wait to see what you choose.

[@annhamilton2060]

Aww, I loved the paint you had done in that room. 😢

[@deborahmiller8650]

Catherine, Lovely video on the bedroom makeover. I adore the green striped wallpaper with the creamy woodwork. You mentioned needing some sort of artwork. Two lovely botanical pictures (drawings) would look beautiful on the wall beside the wardrobe. White or even creamy color of the wall for the frames. You could draw your own flowers from your garden. Sorry that your beautiful cat has decided to use the beds as potty boxes. I have two cats also, my youngest (Bingo) is a climber and is into every cupboard, closet or box. The other is older (Taz) and was given to me from a friend of my friend. He was raised with big dogs who would steal his food, due to that situation, he gobbles his food down and preceeds to throw up the contents of his stomach. I am forever cleaning up his messes. So I feel for your blight. Taz has gotten sick many times on my bed, living room chair or in his food dish. Enough of that subject. I really enjoy your frankness and humbleness about your life. You have a wonderful life to be thankful for. Love watching each and every video. Until next video, have a wonderful week. ~Debi in Ohio

[@traceywilliams5985]

The wallpaper reminds me of Laura Ashley, lovely cottage vibes😍

[@barbaradavies4061]

A piece of art ! A classy lady is what you are Catherine. The room looks beautiful. I wish you lived near me, I could keep you in work for years lol.

[@katherinestobbe5556]

❤ Hi Catherine, enjoyed seeing you on this video tonight! I SO love what you did in this bedroom! The striped green wallpaper is totally beautiful and is complimented so perfectly with the cream colour below! The bed in this room is incredibly lovely! Love your flavours of decorating! You have a most lovely home!

[@vickibowles6527]

I just love your home. You done a wonderful job making it your own special place.

Green is just fab for spring isn’t it! Thanks for stopping by xx

[@charannefenn8780]

Hi Catherine I hope you are well...was just watching the video of you in the green house speaking about your new book...I'm getting my book from Easons again but the reason I was texting was to say congratulations and I'm so happy for you. Well done dolly. Love watching all your videos... when my husband was alive we both loved watching your videos.... he would say if we were lucky enough to have had our daughter she would be just like you. He lived how you would use the power tools and do all your DIY...so we'll done and really looking forward to getting my copy of your book. Enjoy the rest if your weekend. I'm hoping to get some seeds planted tomorrow. Big hugs xx

[@mandymaxwell3249]

Catherine looks lovely.❤

[@cherylmartin9994]

Hi Catherine! It's neuter for boys and spay for girls. You could pick up Feliway to see if will help with Beag's weeing issue. Feliway is a kitty pheromone that gives kitties a sense of calm which decreases their desire to wee inappropriately. You will need to use it for at least 1 month to see if there's a change. Hope this issue clears up soon. Have been through it myself with 2 feline brothers ... vet nurse with multi cat household never works out well🤣 The guest room looks so pretty! I'm thinking of redoing my house in an off white/cream and in the kitchen doing my cabinets a pale green.

[@suecoles7824]

It’s looking gorgeous Catherine, must admit I had a giggle at your “crime” comment, yes I would of felt the need to tell the sales person what I was using all that for1 😂😂😂, hat are we like, what do they care 😂 Suze. 🤗🐈‍⬛🐈 x

[@DaintyDiaries]

I probably made it look worse with the comment 😂😂

[@cakesbyaifos175]

I miss to watch your video again catherine.. ❤ love it!

I love how the room turned out! 😍

[@Maggie-Gardener-Maker]

I recently watched a video that made me think OH MY GOODNESS Catherine's kitties would love that! It was Season 1 Episode 1 of Animal Cribs, Tricked Out Cat Castle. They built a lot of things for the cat that I have faith in you could build for your babies.

[@thelilacmum]

I missed everything you said on the voice over while making the bed. Those two little monkeys had me in stitches. 😅 Heather💜

[@joycedoyle8752]

Hi from California🌸Find so much inspiration watching you🌷Happy Spring to you & wee kitties🐾💗

[@tammyjohnson7401]

So funny you brought up Jeffery Dahmer, I live in Milwaukee, wow made it to Ireland. Love the stripes in wall paper, caulk is my second best friend a good heavy paint my 1st. Take care

[@AmandaStone-wk3uv]

The room refresh is lovely! I'm glad the vet has ruled out any physical issues for the peeing outside of the litter box. I think it is probably stress. Some kitties are very sensitive to changes in the house, and even stress of people in the house. Cats are little energy magnets.

[@sonjalemmens6098]

I love love your green house❤️ if only I had a big garden…..🙏 you are such a lovely person, like your videos a lot🤗

[@DaintyDiaries]

Thank you so much 😊 you are so kind x

[@moirainstance2685]

Just bought a 100 yr old house in the country (Australia) and we are using Antique White USA as it's a dark house.. no wallpaper as Australia not into wallpaper, we also had water stain on the ceiling, some from possums peeing in the roof, which we've had to stop them going in there, we actually not in the house yet.. The house is on three quarters of an acre.. with out buildings.. Thank you for sharing what you do, I love your channel xx

[@kristydavies1665]

We use Fleiway plugs in. It’s a cat pheromone which works really well. Big hugs love, it’s really stressful, I also use enzyme laundry powder too.

[@survivor2530]

Love your style., really pretty. Re the pee problem, try watching a fellow youtuber called Jackson Galaxy, he is an expert on cats & I remember him doing one on either your problem or about litter trays.You're doing the right thing having more litter trays.He talks about scent soakers. Sometimes the stress can be from outside, if they've seen another cat, dog etc. He's worth watching, very knowledgeable

[@laltman5005]

The bedroom refresh is lovely. Green is my favourite colour so that wallpaper calls to my heart. Good job as always. Have a wonderful week. Looking forward to whatever comes next.🐝🌷🌿

[@gingergreenhill1908]

Love the wallpaper! Looks great!

[@lilred312benett6]

I remember the stenciling video! I was so mesmerized! For your closet, I was thinking tear out the current one and do ikea closets that look built in with sliding doors so you don't lose space opening/closing traditional doors. @diydanie did a similar project on her master bedroom last year. It would give you a lot more storage space.

[@lisad8388]

Wow that whole mattress-cover-kitty-pee-ugh brought back memories! Have you taken your kitty to the vet? My little kitty did the very same and found out she wasn't well at all. Hope she's ok and gets back to her normal stress-free self soon. A beautiful job. The wallpaper is perfect and love the green. 💚

[@sunflowerbrown5823]

I absolutely love the green touches you added to your guest room! It just sings "spring"! I was thinking about adding green to my spaces and now I know I will with your inspiration! Greetings from the Rockies! 🌻

[@DaintyDiaries]

Add your green!! You won’t regret it. A little freshen up for spring time 😍💚

[@Mary-f5k7u]
