EXTREME COTTAGE LIVING ROOM MAKEOVER | RENO VLOG 10

[@ninanaparty]

Hey, what about the Garden? Will you be gardening and most importantly: will you film a makeover of the garden as well?

[@juliaa.9870]

I really hope so!!!🌱🌿☘️

[@MadeleineOlivia]

Coming soon!

[@juliaa.9870]

Madeleine Olivia yeah!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@discoQueen127]

I can’t even remember 2019. Thank you for reminding us of simpler times 🥰 How beautiful everything came out!

[@ansuhmayram]

This is the kinda realistic reno vid I want to watch. I find it difficult watching these incredible teams on youtube that wack it all out in a day.

[@DaizysDogz]

Roxy is soooooooo floppy and relaxed! She is one HAPPY pooch 💕🐶 xxx

[@teresagould6987]

It’s absolutely stunning guys. Well worth all of your hard work. Now chill and have some wine and time together in there xxxx 💖

[@MonCoindelaMonde]

I never thought I would get so excited about a light switch but that one is so cool!

[@Paramoreex0]

I absolutely am in love with the way this turned out. I feel like the clean white color and the large fireplace made this room look so much bigger! When you first got the house all I could think was how tiny the room looked. It’s so cozy though and it’s perfect!

[@EleanorJosefina]

You’ve helped me on my minimalism/health journey so much. So thank you for making amazing content! ❤️❤️❤️

[@ratedpeople]

The fire place is incredible, what an amazing reveal! Absolutely love your transformation 🥰

[@alicehart7209]

It’s so beautiful! It’s crazy how much bigger it looks 😊

[@patriciakelly69]

From some one who’s lived with wood beams I think the white beams makes it more spacious. Like 👍 your style. You pt in a lot of hard work in that room and it’s paid off. Well done. X

[@hayleystokes3116]

I've been watching your cottage reno videos from the start and seeing everything coming together is just so wonderful 😍. Your fireplace is one of the most amazing transformations I've ever seen and I'm so impressed at how closely you were able to replicate your pinterest inspo pictures 💕. Go you! 🎉

[@emmiepommes]

This is so lovely! Well done. A word of warning- My grandmother was a pianist and she advised us to never put a piano near a window. Even slight humidity coming in from the window can warp it.

[@emmawramsby6765]

I can't WAIT to see the full house before and after. You're doing an AMAZING job!!! Who knew you could do so much yourself and really transform a house! 🏡✨

[@michellenaessens8601]

Gal your makeup looks amazing (as does the living room of course). Your reno vlogs are giving me life. I'm so far away from owning my own place so I'm living vicariously through you :)

[@natasha9206]

So inspiring!😍As a crazy plant lady I only need to advise maybe moving the ceropegia plant from the shelf to the top of the bookshelf facing the window to get more sunlight 💚🌱 Love your content xxx

[@cathylynnpietranton]

Hi Maddie and Alex we really love your living room. it's so bright and cozy. You two did an excellent job on decorating. We really enjoyed watching this video. Give Roxie a hug❤

[@LauraRahel]

This room has such a cozy den feel!

[@camy.]

the room looks so much more spacious after! amazing job!!

[@lenebop23]

This whole cottage is going to be such an inspiration for when (if, hopefully) I get around to renovating a home! 🤗 so exciting!

[@monicahermanson7631]

We got rid of our TV and have had a projector for the past couple years- love it! It's so great not having a big square box take up space in your living room. Looks great!

[@SophieMarie92]

We're currently renovating our home, and this has helped us plan out our living room 😅, such a lovely looking room!!

[@oliviablais778]

It all looks lovely! My guess with the water-based paint is that it was reacting poorly with some other layer on the wood. Water-based paint can't be layered on top of traditional 'solvent' paint (i.e. oil). Just like oil and water don't mix, the same happens with paints. In my experience it can be pretty finicky so even if you had a compatible primer, it can still react with whatever the wood was treated with way back when. I learned that the hard way when I painted my grandmother's old desk. Glad you were able to swap it with something that worked!

[@beverlytelles8249]

You did a great job....the living room looks beautiful, and I love what you did with the fireplace. The furniture you had made looks so good in the room, wonderful pieces.

[@IshikaShanai]

"What's it called? That style of lamp?" "Pixar." I cackled. xD.

[@Paulina.nicole]

love the natural feel! Just finished switching up my own room but might have to do some more now that I've seen this good one :)

[@linzertube]

Beautiful choices for the room. It looks comfortable and elegant.👏🤩

[@marizamentzou3293]

love love love the end result!!! great job guys!!!! and taking your time and sourcing everything makes it so much more worthwhile!

[@phyllisburris7093]

You can use flooring planks or wood look plank paneling to cover the beams. Really inexpensive & variety of colors. 😉

[@whattovisitinromania5044]

Beautiful, clean and functional, some of the best goals for a great design.

[@dzieciuszek]

Great job! I love you living room. So cosy.

[@alice1underland]

Love that you made this space your own 💛

[@juliaa.9870]

The room looks gorgeous! A few more plants at the windows would make it even more cozy 💛

[@stephrashid6513]

The fireplace... Omg I'm so jealous 😍😍😍

[@danielanina3146]

Loved it, such a transformation, it's incredible! :- ) I need to look into how to hide cables because I hate cables everywhere!

[@redshoes6940]

The room looks fabulous. My husband and I started decorating the lounge last year, funny enough we changed from the previous owners dark magnolia walls to white and a splash of green, picked the same light switches as yourself and installed a log burner too. Unfortunately we need to finish it off !

[@PaulaJoW]

(Sanding the wood before painting provides "tooth" for the new paint to adhere to). Painting a small(er) space all the same colour (walls, beams, door frames, skirting, etc), it leads your eye freely around the room whereas contrasting trim stops your eye. LOVE the fireplace reno, and I'm a big fan of ticking. You both did a great job. Well done!

[@RunyaAikanaro]

This got me so excited about doing renos! Can't wait until we have our own place and not a student flat... 😆

[@mariam.a941]

I LOVE the final look so much 😍❤️❤️

[@ganizzy2009]

Love that you went so classic for the sofas!

[@danabrown2391]

It looks wonderful! Sofa perfect at the end of the room, it makes the sitting area look wider and more square.

[@alfinou_13targaryen]

I absolutely love everything in there!! We renovated our home three years ago and I remember the nightmare with the deadlines, everything always took more than we had planned! Congratulations on having such great tastes and patience! Can't wait to see the garden and in a few months the kitchen maybe!! Good luck with everything else! Are you still in lockdown in the UK?

[@shirleysstep1300]

You guys did such a great job. This is such a lovely, thoughtful and beautiful cottage. Well done!!!

[@elizabethmcintosh6722]

Alex looks like Harry Potter on the original American book covers in this video.

[@meioirish8793]

I absolutely loved this room! It looks so different now

[@llux]

i love this 😍😍 thank you so much for sharing. ive been looking forward to this day since you first showed us the house. what a difference 😍😍❤️

[@ruthgoddard6539]

Oh my god. This popped up on my feed and I just love this whole vlog. Love your style so much.

[@athensm.9681]

Good job guys 👍 Seems different room and bigger! 🌷🌿🌷🌿🌷🌿

[@hollywood7702]

Absolutely wonderful, and I never would have thought bright white would look so cozy. I am terrified of white, every wall in my house is dark. Blue, burgundy, granite mustard and dark green.

[@indirajane]

It so warm and cozy, I can't believe the transformation you've achieved! You guys did an amazing job :)))

[@suegale2273]

Living room beautiful you have both worked so hard

[@kristenronhovde4381]

Imagine your great-grand children watching these vlogs 💕 Ugh too cute

[@DipityS]

Such a lovely, welcoming space. I'm absolutely in love with it.

[@deek8623]

Very sweet ! Everything a Cornwall cottage should look like . Particularly loved the vintage framed art .. very designer inspired 😍 Rox might like the calming pet bed it’s a super soft smaller version of you bean bag.. great reviews. Just in case you need the bean bag back Alex 😜

[@mandycayley4322]

Gorgeous I love what you’ve done. I am renovating my front room now it looks like a builders yard I feel like it’s taken over the whole house just this one room. I know it will be worth it at the end. X

[@elizabethevanskiikka2184]

Omg I remember when you bought this house, but I didn’t subscribe! I have been praying to the algorithm gods that your channel would come back to my suggestion page! Yay, it finally did, subscribed and wont miss another home renovation ❤️🌈✨

[@carolinebattison700]

Omg love your living room ❤ It looks soo cosy

[@margjedehoog9729]

Aaah, those illustrated Harry Potter books are sooo gorgeous! And also: thanks for showing the flip side of renovating your own house. This all seems so familiar! Especially the prep work for the painting... it takes ages! My husband and I decided to do some extensive research on paint before we bought anything, because I've had way too much negative experiences with awful quality paint.

[@martynakaczmarek4794]

27:45 I think this painting deserves a bigger frame and wider passę-partout to show how special it is for you 🙂

[@aineg2259]

I love it so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gosh literally my dream house in the flesh

[@isabelleer7501]

Turned out lovely!

[@elisabetfinlayson8539]

I love the piano area - it’s my sort of style dreams - but yes, I also love the room entirely / but for some strange reason, the piano areas my favourite.

[@RenLuuk]

Yay!! Loved every minute of this. I had just gone on your bathroom Reno video because I have been searching for those hexagonal tiles for months. Then I remembered yours! If only I had remembered sooner 😂 But great vlog, great room - and keep practicing 🎹 🎶

[@missyoung888]

Omg, yes! So exited to see another video on the home reno 😍 much love from South Africa 🇿🇦

[@VeganBeautyGirl]

OH MMMYYY GODDDDD. your home is a DREAM. - love that you guys take your time with your renovations cos REALISTICALLY it does take time to find the right second hand / sustainable pieces - you guys look cute when you match in stripes - 21:09 what has HAPPENED to alex's hand?! did i miss this part of the vlog? - your bookcase is STUNNING - i didn't know you could play the piano?!!? thats gorgeous ... i wanna hear you play! - love how much you get second hand off of facebook marketplace ... things look so lush on there ... just need a home haha - projector is so much more chic than a tv ... lOVE IT

[@SF-kc6zv]

What a journey! It turned out amazing ❤️ and sleepy Roxy seems to thoroughly enjoy it 🥰 such a cutie pie

[@alexandrafingleton7407]

You both did a great job. It’s absolutely gorgeous. Well done.

[@Betrsafthensory]

I love it! I would put a little table behind your sofa and put more green plants on it. They would do really good in your windows. Beautiful living room. Enjoy. 😊❤

[@charlottem5686]

thanks for saying about the valspar i just bought that for my own decorating now i can return it before i open it!

[@madisonangulo52]

Looks magazine worthy! Beautiful!

[@jwinestory5051]

Looks very cozy nice house~

[@angiebolton-cox1490]

Good job, I've never decorated. I just live with what the house looks. 😋

[@KPO2222]

So Beautiful! The three of you 💗 and the living room. And your dishes and your videos🙂everything. Love your accent btw . I am german, used to live in the UK for some years😊

[@johnamstutz]

Fabulous transformation!!!

[@marycarter3256]

Love it, given me lots of ideas ;) We have been in our home 4 years and We are still not done with our living room (it’s a living diner / which I hate any way) it’s always going to be long project xx

[@ina5352]

i'm in love with this living room

[@jeanbb3283]

Love love love. The projector , the fireplace the stool as a side table fabulous. Love the carpet and most of all the honesty _ DIY is ace but bloomin hard work! Wish I could play the piano, looks so cosy. All the touches the custom book case, the bench by the window, so thoughtful. Smart sofa solution, I need to do similar. Great job!! X was it anglepoise lamps?

[@lindsey_isla]

it looks so stunning! Well done guys.. I love your reno videos xoxo

[@Iris-hc1hs]

Lovely video! It's very inspiring to see your house being transformed, and shows that as long as you have a bit of vision you can do a lot yourself :).

[@hannah8076]

“How does my hair look?” “Ratty.”

[@allykat8261]

The room is the same colors as Roxie, lol! Beautiful!

[@GloriaCBurke]

I Madeleine❣️❣️❣️ I love your video, your cottage, your doggie!!! Everything!!! I was missing your videos❣️ Love from Colorado, USA

[@BiancaJuliaVlogs]

It turned out so beautiful and simple 🥰

[@aliciainvernongarrido2315]

[@paigelatham9132]

oml cannot wait to see how you decorate your house for Christmas

[@papermintsea6824]

What a lovely room!

[@CindyCB78]

Another option for the projector if you ever wanted to change the position of the sofa could be a plain white roller blind over the window and put the projector on the centre beam

[@SoftLawenda]

It looks amazing! I absolutely love it

[@atlroxmysox98]

I love this. I can't wait to move and get myself an upright piano.

[@tracyalberts2330]

Fireplace of dreams ❤

[@mary-paulakennedy7127]

Looks fab!!

[@abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvw1473]

If brexit wasn't, I'd also have planned to buy a beatiful tiny cottage in brighton, renovate it and leave germany behind me. Now that'll be quite difficult and I am a bit jealous I must say ':D Maybe some day.... :3 ... Appart from this: I am the biggest fan of roxy !

[@denisefe902]

Same.... now we have to look for some nice old farm houses in Germany ^^

[@emmalittle87]

This looks amazing, I am only just catching up on all the renovations! What white paint did you use on the walls please?

[@theuglybookling4604]

This room is so gorgeous 😍 I'm buying my first home next Friday (Yay!) and this is making me rethink my entire decoration plans 😂

[@charlenewagoner9523]

Love it!! It's gorgeous!!

[@charlenebrissette3348]

Love the living room.
