[@elegantlyknackeredstyle]

Thank you. I am so thrilled with my garden 😊

[@jc-wq4lj]

@@elegantlyknackeredstyle just finished watching the whole video now Louisa. Loved it, place is pure magic and BTW, please never straighten the front gate!

[@elegantlyknackeredstyle]

🤣🤣🤣 I love my wonky gate 😊

[@patriciahackman3637]

Wow, the rain has certainly paid dividends in the front garden. It's looking green & lush. Loving the flower arrangements around the house.

[@elegantlyknackeredstyle]

The garden has gone bonkers. I love it 💚 A little light rain over the weekend would be nice, so that I can do a bit of gentle weeding l.

[@Auntie7024]

Lovely tour today of the progress on your cottage and gardens. I just love your style. I quite enjoy all of your videos. It's so nice that you bring flowers into your home in spite of being in a renovation. Thank you for all your hard work sharing all that you do. Take care. ❤😊

[@elegantlyknackeredstyle]

Thank you so much!

[@cookiemonster6401]

Progress!!! 🩷🩷🩷 I live in renovations too. In fact my house looks like a hoarders house because everything is everywhere. So happy for you.

[@elegantlyknackeredstyle]

It doesn't take a lot to make a renovation look like a hoarders house 🤣

[@marieparsons-x9o]

Always happy to see Maple.Such progress on the cottage.

[@elegantlyknackeredstyle]

Maple was behaving in a very strange way yesterday 🤣🤣🤣

[@helenbailey8419]

The brick path has settled in beautifully.The greenery looks so established Wonderful

[@elegantlyknackeredstyle]

It has! It's really settled in and looks good 😊

[@stephanie5618]

Your garden is stunning. It seems to have come together fast but I know there was a lot of hard work involved. The inside of your house is more beautiful than ever. Thank you for the floor plans and showing us the boot room which is awesome. Thank you for posting your progress.

[@elegantlyknackeredstyle]

Thank you so much 😊

[@Suze2233]

It’s all coming along!! I love your choices for your master bedroom! As usual Maple is precious.❤️

[@elegantlyknackeredstyle]

Thank you. Now that the plumbers have been on site, it feels as though we have made a major step forward.

[@shevdartay7892]

You have a lovely home!! So homely and welcoming . Thank you for sharing your ideas

[@elegantlyknackeredstyle]

You are so welcome! 😊 Thank you.

[@melindaferreira9879]

Its so fun to see your updates! I think probably you have one of the most beautiful lived in cozy styled up renovation houses I've seen so far.. the little blooms and candles and all your ephmera bits and odds and ends styled into delight little vignettes .. I'm just swooning. Its total eye candy.

[@helenbailey8419]

Its beautiful,done with love

[@elegantlyknackeredstyle]

Arhh, what a lovely thing to say. Thank you so much 😊

[@jeanzimmer6463]

I love that you show the floor plan, because I am so often confused when taking a home tour and interested and curious, so thank you! It is so helpful.

[@elegantlyknackeredstyle]

You are so welcome!

[@graceproby2662]

I had to smile you have the same garden journal as I have. You mention a lot of places I go to but some I didn’t know about, so they are added to my list. Like you I have been in Norfolk about 9 years since Nov 2015 and we have been and still are renovating. It’s nice to see someone who likes the things I do. My old friends, bar one, are not into designers, gardens, cookery and antiques so wouldn’t have a clue if I mentioned Ben Pentreath et al. Lovely friends all the same. Just wished my husband was as handy as Mark! x

[@elegantlyknackeredstyle]

It sounds as though we are peas in a pod 😊

[@helenyoung8012]

Louisa, I think your artichoke is a cardoon. Thank you for the mooch around your house and garden. Lots of lovely ideas. So pleased it is inching forward for you.

[@elegantlyknackeredstyle]

The label definitely says it's a globe artichoke and I bought it from a specialist herb nursery. I am a novice gardener, as you know, so I could be wrong. Maybe it was mislabeled 🙄

[@helenyoung8012]

@@elegantlyknackeredstyle if the ‘Artichokes are spiky at the top they are cardoons but if there are rounded they are Artichkes!! Not the end of the world as cardoons are lovely architectural plants and if you look them up the stems are edible if they are blanched like celery. Please say which one you have, good luck.

[@elegantlyknackeredstyle]

I'm positive they're globe artichokes

[@helenyoung8012]

Thank you. I certainly hope it will be as fabulous as you the vision in my head 😊

[@Laura-rx9mp]

Always love the updates, it is coming together quite fast!!! Cheers

[@elegantlyknackeredstyle]

Now the plumbers have been and gone it's definitely picking up pace 😁

[@FaithChapman-ylwiris62]

Your garden looks wonderful!!! I work on mine a little each day. With autoimmune, it takes a little longer, but thanks to your inspiration, I give myself grace for not getting it all done at once. Also, my favorite reads (beside garden books!) are cozy mysteries, and I did NOT know Paula had written one. Needless to say, I am already on the hunt for my own copy! Last, I have started visiting a local metal junk yard. I'm amazed at the galvanized tubs, buckets, and metal items that people sell as scraps! When I find something great, I think to myself, "Louisa would love this!". Have a great week!

[@elegantlyknackeredstyle]

I think little and often when gardening is the best plan 😊 I love that you think of me when you spot galvanised ware 😊

[@robertwillis9988]

Loving the wonky garden gate😂😂

[@elegantlyknackeredstyle]

It fits right at home at Starre Corner 😊

[@mariannegoins3610]

I'm mad for your garden. Beautiful just beautiful.

[@elegantlyknackeredstyle]

You and me both! I can't stop looking at it 😊 I'm hoping for some dry weather over the weekend so that I can give it a little attention.

[@maireadharkin5124]

Hello Louisa ! I really like your bee door knocker ! Your updates are looking wonderful... I am for the kitchen walls I feel it makes your kitchen more charming then the big tiles ! The colors you have for your bedroom is perfect, I absolutely love the green !! Have a joyful day ! Paula

[@elegantlyknackeredstyle]

Thank you. This month we've made a massive step in the right direction. The bee door knocker was the first thing we bought for Starre Corner 😊

[@carriagecottage1257]

Louisa, Thank you for the lovely tour and sharing the floor plans. I’m fairly new here and could not quite put it all together. The plan view was so helpful. So happy that the plumber drama is behind you and you can thoughtfully move forward. I’m so enjoying watching your journey.😊

[@elegantlyknackeredstyle]

I am pleased the plan helped - I know you were not alone with the confusion 😊

[@sandraford4235]

Another lovely tour, but with hot water!! How brilliant is that. I so wish it would warm up a bit, don't you. We're doing an Open Garden next weekend to raise money for charity, and I'm beginning to think it'll be a washout 😂

[@elegantlyknackeredstyle]

Hot water is the most incredible luxuryn😁 I really hope you get lovely weather for your open gardens. It feels as though we are due a little bit of sun 🌞
