[@Doyouboo.]

Ohhh you should sing in there, you have such a sweet voice! It will sound like an angel🤗 You are just a LIVING DOLL! I hope you have kids and share what you think best of that journey too! Maybe you are making your nest now? Lucky kiddo to get you for a momma 🥰🤗

[@wonderwonder30]

I have to admit, I was questioning the faux brick bbbuuuttttt….. it came out so good! I love how it adds a sense of cottage core while looking like you tore up your whole backyard to get it to look old. Purely lovely 🥰

[@DaintyDiaries]

I'm glad it came together in the end! Love some cottage core vibes! Thanks for watching Stephanie 🥰

[@emmasmith2365]

The painted bricks looks absolutely amazing!! 🥰

[@annetteelder-clark505]

I love it, I love it, I love it! I can see a table with little baby plants and lots of little seeds sprouting. Hit thrift stores for your writing table and redo it (another video) and an old chaise. I really love the floor... your poor knees! 🙂

[@OscarsWilde]

You never fail to amaze me. The floor is gorgeous. Love the green house. Delighted for you 😀

[@DaintyDiaries]

Thank you so much Anne! you are so kind x

[@petro3441]

Its a tonic for my week to see your smile. Love the green house and sjoe the floor... What a job girl. Whell done. Does blond have a new friend?? I first thought blond got in the paint...

[@DaintyDiaries]

ha ha, that is Toffee, the neighbours cat x

[@dianamccay7276]

Hello from Texas, Catherine! 👋🏼 I couldn’t be more excited to see your beautiful new greenhouse!! It is so gorgeous, and I know it will be totally stunning when you have finished all your work on it!! I got tickled with you talking about your heat wave… right now where I live in north Texas it’s 99° F with a heat index of (meaning it feels like) 109°. (37° c actual temp and feels like 42/43° c.) But, hey, it’s all what you are used to! I’m fortunate to have 2 big shade trees and a covered patio in my yard so it’s not so bad! I am really looking forward to more updates on your greenhouse project! Stay cool, sweet girl! ❤️

[@chrisandjasmine3077]

Oh your greenhouse is lovely Catherine. Love what you did with the brickwork. I love Martha Stewart she has great ideas. I can't wait to see your gradual transformation inside the greenhouse it will be like a wee garden room too which will be great in our weather 😊. Also calor gas do a vintage style portable gas stove called Provincal that might be good in your greenhouse if you haven't got electric yet, you would just need good ventilation and a co2 alarm but they are portable and run on gas bottles. Health to you and Blondie to enjoy your lovely new greenhouse xx

[@cherylmacedo5521]

OMG had to pause the video to tell you how much I love your MS inspired sponge brick floor. It looks amazing and it’s not even done yet !! Good job Dainty !!! 👏🏻👏🏻❤️👏🏻👏🏻

[@DaintyDiaries]

Thank you so much Cheryl!! im so happy you like it x

[@marianela111]

Beautiful green house. You may need a deck around it or some paving leading up to the green house /shed. Blondie seems to have given her stamp of approval and cats do eat spiders and flies 😖. Thank you for the lovely video 😃🐈🌻🙏

[@hannaamy6653]

It looks soooo good - I even like the grey tone! Your greenhouse will be watertight, But bear in mind you will need to water the plants inside 🌱 So outdoor waterproof sockets are a must!!! Hx

[@DaintyDiaries]

Thanks for the tips Hannah! X

[@cherylfinch3687]

You can always count on a cat to inspect your work😍 Greenhouses always look better in the UK🙂 Love it, great job!

[@DaintyDiaries]

Always!! Needs to cat approval!

[@Rochele18]

I'm obsessed with your videos! I live in an apartment but I am a country girl at heart. I really miss being in the garden and getting my hands dirty and just relaxing on the porch. I can't wait to see everything when you get it all cozy ☺️

[@sawdust2556]

Yay! You’re in your greenhouse! Ooooh. So pretty! So happy for you! Great floor!❤️ Who is that kitty? Ahh. There’s our Blondie in the greenhouse.

[@AutumnCraftz]

That brickwork is absolutely fantastic, we are hoping to get a greenhouse, now that is something I am going to do first.

[@smithy5369]

Your a little ray of sunshine ☀️ and inspiration you make me proud to be Irish ☘️

[@DaintyDiaries]

Awwwww, your a sweetheart Siobhan x

[@michellethomas1707]

Ohhh I’m a day late .. but a video from Catherine will make a great start to the weekend😁

[@Poppy-]

I don't know why but I thought your greenhouse was going to be green...house 😂 Seriously, I saw so many greenhouses being green, especially metal ones. Can't wait to see what you'll do with the space. You always amaze me with your ideas and DIY. 🙌🏽

[@MsMacster]

The greenhouse is stunning. Totally worth the wait. Not what I was expecting when you said you’d ordered a greenhouse. I’d like one!

[@julibeswick-valentine3690]

The floor is outstanding, I'm glad you didnt expire in the heat doing it. The other farmers round round here think I'm some mad woman for having a pretty seating area in my polytunnel but in a greenhouse, you take it to a whole new level, 😊 I have an original victorian glasshouse on the farm, it needed a huge amount of renovation and took 4 years to do. Its constructed mainly of cast and wrought iron on brickwork. It gets so hot in there in the summer I can only work in it early mornings and evenings in spite of it having a lot of ventilation windows. Ican't wait to see yours fitted out, I just know it is going to be so pretty.

[@samanthatyler88]

Oh wow! Look at that faux brick floor! I love it! Now I am desperate to see it with furniture and styled! It’s gonna look so cute 😭

[@lisaanderson6602]

You are such pure joy to watch + listen to and your ideas + completed projects are truly perfection🤗🐦 Thank you for sharing, from Indiana, USA 🇺🇸

[@Winterwitch4477]

Omg!! Cottage core!! Be still my heart 🥰 I am so in love with your life 😁🤣🤣🤣

[@pamdavis6604]

So happy you got your green house. 🌹🌷🌴🌲🌱🌿🍃🌻🌼🌺🍀🥀🌸🏵️

[@keitumetsezulu6940]

Also love the green house. Lovely style. Do enjoy working on it. I know we will also feel it on this side of the camera 💖

[@munichmoon5711]

" National emergency in Ireland" if it would be more than 30⁰c 😂😂😂😂 made me laugh so much. You are the cutest youtuber ever and you have the coolest ideas 💙 Hugs from Munich ( where we would have national emergency too if it would stay hot and sunny all summer 🙄)

[@margywalker1722]

" she just kinda swats them away, I don't think she kills them, but that's her business " almost choked on my chocolate then lol. Great job on the floor it looks amazing x

[@ellascottagecompany2044]

Okay Catherine I am utterly gobsmacked and completely drooling over the whole structure!! The floor is so awesome! I could literally fill this entire comment with exclamations!!! Love everything about it! Omg a tea party is the Green House ❤️!!!

[@debranorris9139]

Thank you for sharing your amazing creativity with us, I want to do a floor like this, you have given me so much inspiration 😊 God bless you abundantly in all things and much love from me too! 🙏♥️🥰😘

[@judyparks5016]

Catherine, I love your greenhouse. That floor looks AMAZING!! You did such a fantastic job on it. But, and comes the Mother me, please darling get you some kneepads. You will be glad you did. I can't wait to see future videos of your greenhouse. Or really any thing you put up. Tyfs. HUGS

[@samcraftstoo7616]

WOW, that looks amazing. Give yourself a BIG pat on the back for a job well done. 💖💝👏👏👏😍😍😍👍👍👍

[@DaintyDiaries]

Aw thank you Sarah 🥰 you're so sweet!

[@samirpillay8051]

It's absolutely amazing. Take a bow. The innovation is Brilliant on the brick floor. BEAUTIFUL I LOVE IT 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️❤️ PS. Next time try a Dove Grey Colour on the floor base. It would give the floor that authentic mortar look

[@carmelabologna9051]

I think this greenhouse will be more of a "she-shed" with some seedlings in it! What a lovely place to spend your time and enjoy your sweet garden. It will be so inspirational for you. You have such a "nesting" touch! Your home is absolutely enchanting and now your garden is too! Thanks for sharing. It both inspires and uplifts my spirits to see you happy!

[@DaintyDiaries]

Yes, I think so too, definitely a second creative space x Your so kind, thank you for commenting x

[@cherylmacedo5521]

Jeez…never clicked off another video so fast……couldn’t wait to get a first look…. 🥰🥰🥰

[@DaintyDiaries]

Wooo thank you Cheryl 🥰 The excitement is REAL! Thanks for stopping by x

[@alfiesflower8218]

Hello, the brick effect that the sponge made, worked so well. The greenhouse is amazing. You are a very clever young lady, so focused, I think you are brilliant. Have a good day. Keep safe and be lucky 💞💞💞

[@suecox2308]

That looks fantastic--well done you! And I love the greenhouse--the wooden frame it fits your home and your garden perfectly.

[@DaintyDiaries]

Thank you so much Sue 🥰

[@elaineh7811]

You have lots of good ideas Catherine always tidy in your little house jobs 👍Blondie approves 😼

[@lynnslosson5937]

From 8,000 miles away, it looks so good! It really looks like real brick. You are quite talented!

[@DaintyDiaries]

Awww, thanks for the love Lynn x

[@carliem9494]

Floral door knobs and finger plates? ...... my youngest son has both on the entry door to his house (he’s not a granny either - about your age) 🤣🤣 must be coming back into fashion! That floor was worth all the hard work ... but oh, I worried for your knees on that concrete. Lovely greenhouse too - worth the wait I’d say

[@larissapower5706]

Well done you👏👏...it looks amazing 😉. You’ve given me an idea for a high back garden wall I have that’s painted white atm. I may paint a door on it too and then hang hanging baskets either side😂...thank you 🌺. Enjoy doing up the greenhouse and may all your plants flourish 😎🌸🌻🌺

[@joancaruso170]

I love your new little greenhouse and your shed. Blondie has beautiful eyes as well. Have a great Friday and weekend and see you next Thursday.

[@r.martin4752]

Great job! Also loved "if Blondie kills spiders, that's her business". Your garden is such a haven.

[@Nina-kr8yc]

I have greenhouse envy! Can't wait to see it as the seasons change! Your eyes are so lovely and blue in this video, especially with your dress. Xx

[@leeanneaquilina]

I own a gazebo company in Australia. It’s soo good to see someone educate themselves before jumping in. Every time you oil or stain your timber the better it will look and will last longer. Redo every 2 yrs minimum and it will last years. Subscribed today. Can’t wait to see your progress.

[@DaintyDiaries]

yay thanks for subscribing! you're so right, research is so important, that's how you can make things last even longer and take care of them ❤️

[@kathleenlynch5763]

What a great idea Catherine the floor looks so good.i cant wait to see how you style it.when i first saw the white cat i thought blondie had been rollinf in the red brick paint.but no he hadent.is this other cat just visiting.i love it when cats visit my garden and if there used to me i get the pleasure of stroking them as well.🌷🌷

[@maxinehargreaves8371]

Omg I absolutely love that brick effect flooring, awww so glad to see blondie bk to her normal cheeky self again. Enjoy your heat wave, its been throwing it down here for last 48hrs in Yorkshire 🤗🤗🤗

[@tammyjohnson7401]

Love the greenhouse, kitty approved. There is a product called RainX you can spray on windows to help snow and rain to slip off easier. And the faux brick flooring you painted is great it fits perfect with the greenhouse. See you on next video.

[@jodiecolley4889]

I have been eyeing up a greenhouse for a few months I think this has confirmed I NEED one! So beautiful well done on the amazing brick floor! Really enjoyed binge watching your videos while working from home! 💕

[@audreyolive1617]

It has been a while since I dropped in. With you on the weather front I hardly moved thru the hot weather. Now so fed up of rain. The bricks did not look faux at all. Loved it and the tiles table just watched previously. Xx

[@deannaevans5235]

I love your greenhouse, it will be like a "Secret Garden". Wonderful job on the "brick floor". I wouldn't have thought of using a sponge to do that. Martha Stewart had the ideas! Who was that white cat with the tan spots? A new friend coming around? Thank you for sharing your fun new happenings at your home Catherine!

[@suzanossino2684]

Great job on your faux brick floor. It sure looks like real brick! I'm so happy for you finally getting your long-awaited green house and I'm looking forward to seeing how you style it and make it a comfy working space. You go, Girl! 🥰🪴🌻🌷

[@DaintyDiaries]

Waited a long time for this! Thanks so much Suzan ❤️ hope you have a lovely weekend xx

[@charmaineczora8312]

You should totally 'brick paint' your back fence as well. The greenhouse is awesome!

[@donna8212]

Hello Catherine! The floor turned out amazing, good ole Martha Stewart 😁👍🏻. The greenhouse is adorable and the perfect addition to your backyard. 💚😉

[@julzcares]

This is so exciting for you preparing your new greenhouse. Catherine you are so clever painting a brick floor. I have to say Blondie is an adorable fur soul.

[@cherylmacedo5521]

OMG. It (the greenhouse) is FABULOUS!!!

[@gggail]

😍GREENHOUSE😍 it’s gorgeous!! I absolutely love the floor Catherine. Well done. 👍 Your plans sound so lovely and calming. A real romantic feel for a lovely garden 🪴Enjoy 😊

[@irmavrijma9329]

That looks fantastic! I cannot wait to see it completely furnished and decorated. I know you are gonna love being in there, doing whatever. And I know you do not like rain, bit wouldn't it be super cosy when it is raining, especially when you get one of those fake fire heaters (I have one and it makes a room so cosy) and then have a cup of tea. That would be my heaven anyway.😄

[@sandydawson664]

I love your greenhouse Catherine! Great job on the faux brick floor!! It looks fabulous!! Much love from Cobbs Creek, Virginia USA 🇺🇸

[@wendyreynolds8940]

Oh, how I love that greenhouse! You need fairy lights in it, too! And I can't wait to see it at the holidays!!!!!!!!!!🏠💕🌹😻🎨🐱‍💻☀💖💖💖💖

[@sidanelv-1]

Girl you never stop surprising me you are such a bubble machine of inspiration! I watch you and I have so many ideas I want to do and you give the inspiration to do them and again you just bubble bubble bubble bubble with joy really love watching your videos

[@Joybug_51]

I love that you want to take your time and enjoy the process of outfitting your greenhouse. It seems that so many KZbin creators are in a rush to make everything perfect immediately, while I think you need to give new spaces time to tell you what they need in different lighting and at different times.

[@DaintyDiaries]

So true Joy, a space to be enjoyed x

[@heatherarnold3087]

Love it! 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🙀🙀🙀 Can't wait to see more.

[@cathylynnpietranton]

Wow Catherine the brick turned out wonderful. Great job. My husband and I would have never thought of doing that. see you learn something every day. Thank you💚❤

[@rachelginge7674]

When you said you’d ordered a greenhouse that is not what I was expecting. It’s stunning 😍

[@elainemcgran8828]

I'm so happy for you 💓. Your so excited in this video which makes me happy. I'm sure it's making a lot of people happy. Your just so nature and honest think that's why I'm loving your videos. And I'm so delighted u got your greenhouse even though I'm so fecking jealous. I love her as well, watch her videos all the time. As well as fashion muldar she does so much gardening and the two of them are very good friends but completely different house's and styles. I'd never in a million years buy her house or even take a house like that on if I was given it for nothing because a listen building is not me, but I love her house and garden videos, and for whatever reason I really like her and watch her videos all the time I'm addition , she's so honest.

[@DaintyDiaries]

AW I love watching her videos too, there is just something so wholesome about that channel x

[@Sookielein]

To be honest I like that style so much more than those victorian greenhouses. Especially since you are about to give him so much personality.

[@hillaryferguson4459]

Wow! Looking good Catherine, you are so creative. I think the Greenhouse despite being quite a big structure actually makes that corner of the garden look bigger now.. I luv it ☺

[@carmenwhitehead]

Wow, Catherine! It looks wonderful. The floor looks like real brickwork! I can't wait to see what you put inside of the greenhouse. Greetings from Arizona!🌱🌞.

[@DaintyDiaries]

[@donnawalter3061]

I may not be able to watch them right away,but when i watch them,i take a cup of coffee and enjoy your videos 😊🌻❤ By the way,that blue dress and your blue eyes 👀....you look very pretty😊

[@irenelee3099]

[@larrywakeman4371]

SOOOOO GREAT! I SAW Martha Stewart do this on a 'new thing' called a video tape about 36 years ago, and you do a great job too!!!! FAB! Your hair looks so pretty it's natural dark color! Kimberly from NY state!

[@larrywakeman4371]

Great choice of green house, the tones and colouring compliments your potting shed + all the potted flowers… simply stunning 😍 Looking forward to seeing how you style the green house, half green house half writing area sounds lovely. Evening Blondie 🐱 Mwah 😘

[@roxymcdonald6518]

Oh my…… it is absolutely gorgeous!! I just LOVE it❤️❤️❤️ I can attest to hotter temperatures bothering those in the Northern hemisphere. Years ago, I was in Donegal and since I live close to Toronto, Canada I was used to hotter summers, but there was this young girl working in a shop in Ireland and she was just wilting!! The temperature that day was 25 degrees. She said, “ We are not used to that here, and we don’t like it!!!” I can still see her sweet face while she pressed a handkerchief to it to soak up the sweat!!

[@archangelraphael4200]

Stunning! I love everything! You have such an eye for style. Thank you so much the the inspiration. Hugs for Blondie ❤️ 🌼👍🌸👍🌹👍🐱🐱🇺🇸
