The Doors are low to keep the heat in the rooms. The boxes you are using as sidetables are from sri lanka, it says ceylon, which was the name of sri lanka in the early days😊

[@TheFelipeFamily]

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing this tour. May I recommend that you clean the camera lens to cut down on glare?

[@lhp2050]

How is the little one? Update needed! ❤

[@elizabethMcIntosh-m5s]

I think it's called the workshop. I love it whenever you go in there albeit a quick visit!

[@lillywildflower]

@@michelleguttmann6022one of the tea chests is from the Norwood Estate…. Where Norwood cottage is in Ceylon (Sri Lanka). And….. Norwood is the name of the convict ship my 2x g grandfather came to Australia on.

[@தமிழ்-ய8த]

Those tea chests are from Sri Lanka, the country was called Ceylon under British colonization, its cool to see that chest survived that long

[@mytinyestate]

Yes we found them in the hayloft 🥰

[@trenoweth]

Thanks!

Thank you 🥰

[@AnneSmith-mu2ph]

I just love the two of you ,I could move in o any of your buildings ,hope baby has settled in by now .Yo should be very proud of the history and how you’ve brought it back to life sending love to you all Ann ❤️❤️🇬🇧🧸🧸

[@mytinyestate]

Aww thanks Ann, yes we are all settled in at home now 🥰

[@kathyklarfeld2971]

I love your eye! Subtle but beautiful. Thank you for sharing!

[@mytinyestate]

Ahh thanks 🥰

[@michaelt8727]

A light-hearted note to Dean: As one other person commented, be careful about telling guests that the smaller bedroom’s hanging wall décor item is a bed pan. Calling it a bed warming pan, or simply a warming pan will keep things in proper order and prevent unfortunate misunderstandings! A bed pan is something else entirely. However both were designed to make the nights more user-friendly for the good folks of jolly old England. Anyway, carry on sharing delightful videos of creative, well-seasoned and eye-pleasing renovations and family adventures.

[@mytinyestate]

Haha I know you are right! I actually said that before on instagram and someone said the same 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@suriaprebavaratharajoo6866]

Stunning and timeless, a dream to look at , well done guys 🎉

[@mytinyestate]

Thank you 🥰

[@maggieflatt9686]

This is a gorgeous cottage. It looks so comfortable and cozy. I especially liked the old stove. It is perfect for the cottage. Nice work all around.

[@mytinyestate]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@tpugca]

❤️ the tour, the colors you picked, all the character. Such an amazing place. Cannot wait to see more

[@mytinyestate]

Thank you so much!

[@liljellybean14]

Love the quirkiness! I also really like how you try to include some of the history of the place into the decor. I can definitely see how your style has evolved from this one to more recent rooms you’ve done. Lovely tour!

[@mytinyestate]

Thanks so much! 😊 yes I feel we have got much better but still love this cottage 🥰

[@joanmacdowell4457]

You did a beautiful job of giving the grand tour! It’s been wonderful to follow your journey through early still shots but the video really brings it into context…fantastic!👍

[@mytinyestate]

[@nelleg152]

[@mytinyestate]

Thank you so much!

[@missglenellen]

I absolutely love those reintroduced old items like the polaroids, the bed warming device and the glass lamps. Stunning place! Well done!

[@mytinyestate]

Thanks so much!

[@poppyhh2695]

Love the tea chest side tables and the framed Polaroids!! What a great tour!!

[@mytinyestate]

Ahh thanks ! We loved using the things we found 🥰

[@witgob]

Taps! Totally agree. One of two mistakes we made during the first reno. Also - toilets. Always buy the best you can afford. Sick to death of leaky taps, and the cheap plastic on the toilet cistern. Really enjoyed the tour - you’ve also given m3 some info and tips that I will use in our next reno, which will be a kitchen, pantry and laundry. Listening to you describe the way you’ve changed your ideas through using things has been extremely helpful. And I love that yellow!

[@witgob]

And we found a letter as well. During the First World War, the family living here lost three sons. I can’t even imagine the grief. When we were taking up some old Lino, we found a condolence letter. We found relations of the family and gave them the letter, not before taking a copy. I think it’s time to frame the copy.

[@mytinyestate]

Ahh it’s so special isn’t it! They have to stay with the house as a memory with the house 🥰🥰🥰 and yes good fittings are a must!!!

[@debrap947]

Love the quirk! It makes for such a unique experience in this one-of-a-kind cottage found only at My Tiny Estate! 🤗

Wow, how exciting. I love what you done with the renovations. It’s very beautiful. And I was happy to see the modern bathrooms and the amenities. That is likely the only thing, for me at least, that I would hate not having. Can’t wait for the next video tour.

[@mytinyestate]

Yes it’s that juggle with living in an old house but wanting all them modern conveniences 🥰

[@preechavohariwatt6991]

Heaven on earth DOES exist. Both of you are unbelievable. Finally we can see part of the complete project from your tiny estate or I called it a dream estate. You brought the history back to life with the twist of the new modern and keep the tradition as it was. Detail oriented, the design from your desired, the colors and bring the natural light, the thoughts from both of your architectural, the flowers and the garden warm into the eyes. Priceless and perfectionist. That is “the labor of love”.

[@mytinyestate]

Aww thank you for such a lovely message 🥰

[@leonduplessis]

I really adored the Caretaker's Cottage, quirks and all. I really miss the large kitchen we had when we lived in a 200-year-old house in Nova Scotia because everything now is more cramped and cosy but I need to have space because I get Claustrophobia tendencies but it is funny when I am reading a book that I really enjoy the cosier the room is the better I like it. I do like the architecture that you guys used Cannot wait to see which part of the estate you will show next time as I like all the places in your estate but a preference for me is that the Manor House is the last building that I want to see. I hope the three of you are having some fun times together.

[@mytinyestate]

I think we all want a bit of both don’t we… the cosy and the spacious areas 🥰

Ahh thank you so much Danteo is doing amazingly 🥰

[@GenuinelyJodi]

You have impeccable taste and an incredible eye for detail. You also have restraint as decor and renovations can sometimes take on a life of their own and get out of hand. I love how you repurpose so much of what you have found on the property. ❤

[@mytinyestate]

Aww thanks ! Yes we love repurposing … it has a story and we wouldn’t want that story to end because of us 🥰

Yes we definitely show that at some point 🥰

[@gemmacgregor4505]

As a very new subscriber I appreciate this. I was originally directed to your video about the last five years. But I did wonder why you were doing such modern styling. It helps to understand that in the UK this is what more people enjoy. I mostly watch Chateaux videos and am always looking at very traditional to the time period renovations. Have you decided to make the Manor more traditional or modern or a mix.

[@mytinyestate]

It’s always that juggle as these properties wouldn’t of had bathrooms and kitchens inside the house or in the main house so it’s making it work to modern needs but keeping all the traditional elements traditional and the new additions modern 🥰

[@dustyalice]

I think you guys are having incredible taste. I love to see where you will go with all
