Living Room Makeovers | Cosy Cottage Style Decor for Summer 🌸

[@tinaclauson5238]

You've got a good head on your shoulders young lady. So kudos for recognizing what's good for you and doing it. So sorry about the people with keyboards that have a less then kind disposition. It can make things difficult for sure. We will enjoy whatever parts of the remake you get to show to us. 💜😊

[@GardenerPhyl]

“I’m trying to get a dopamine hit from the real world and not my phone.” Truer words were never spoken Catherine. I’m thrilled for the person who was getting a clean, freshly painted and wallpapered room. It made me so happy and I’m all the way across the pond in 🇨🇦.

[@DaintyDiaries]

I think we need that phrase on a mug or a tee shirt x

[@lauriedunn6198]

Coming to that realization myself.

[@donaleeslack4925]

Hi 👋 Catherine. My daughter was having the same issues as you, so she set a daily time limit for her phone usage. 10 mins with coffee in the morning. Then 10 mins every 2 hrs for rest of day. If she couldn't get stuff done in that time, she just shifted to the next time frame. She also never takes her phone to bed. She plugs it in in the kitchen overnight to charge. I'm so very proud of her it's only been two months. She falls asleep faster❤ has two new hobbies, gardening and crochet . Her house is cleaner, etc.

[@saundrawilliams1601]

Love all the comments about books. When I was a child every summer spent at my grandmothers, there was a book mobile that came by once a week. I checked out the limit, read, and turned them in for new ones the following week. A cousin and I would climb into my grandmothers mulberry tree with an apple and read our summer away in the top of a tree with the birds above us and the horses below us. We gobbled up the entire Nancy Drew series one summer. Memories ❤

The green wallpaper with the hedgehog and hare is such a cute find. The combination with the headboard paper looks lovely.

Have a great day all. But first, give Catherine a 👍 and subscribe, if you please.

Is that a cheeky thumbs up?

[@mousenation3867]

Your clients doors look like they’re the original beautiful doors, and the wallpaper is stunning it’s going to be gorgeous.

[@DaintyDiaries]

Yes the doors are lovely, I would LOVE to strip them back and see what’s underneath

[@debbielavers9836]

I love the smell of bed sheets and blankets hung out to dry in the sun!

[@connydm729]

Me too and my grandson smells the difference between the sheets in his bed when sleeping here, or in his bed at home....

[@DaintyDiaries]

Me too!

[@katherinestobbe5556]

❤ I SO love and appreciated that you addressed the Cell phone use! Countless people, including my 14 year old granddaughter, are totally consumed with needing to be on them! It is an addiction…and not easy to to break such a habit! We are losing far too much important TIME in our daily life…and it certainly doesn’t encourage good health! ❤

[@DaintyDiaries]

Yes, its so hard when the social media apps are made to be addictive to the brain, and when you start to stop using them, its like you have muscle memory and pick up the phone without thinking. After a few days it does feel great when your head feels clearer x

[@suecox2308]

I'm in love with that green wallpaper. About the screen time--I recently realized that I'm spending THREE HOURS in every 24 on social media and KZbin. No wonder I'm not getting anything else done!

[@DaintyDiaries]

It’s so so easy for it to happen, I think it’s its giving you value then its not always a bad thing x

[@laurienewman7180]

You are such a kind girl,always helping others out.I absolutely adore that green wallpaper.❤️🇨🇦

[@DaintyDiaries]

That so kind, thank you x

[@twilamurphy2944]

I took a 24 hour break from all media, spent that time in a dark, quiet room relaxing. slept 5 hours addition to nightime sleep. Feeling refreshed!

[@tammyjohnson7401]

Hi Catherine. A big yes to too much screen time. I use to read 2, 3 books at a time, and now I'm getting myself back one book at a time. Gardening helps me to keep focused.

[@maryruud9566]

That wallpaper is dreamy, and from the bit you've shown us, I'm sure the homeowner will be absolutely thrilled with the transformation. Thanks for including the kitties this week! I had a good laugh watching them "help" you organize the bookshelf.

[@DaintyDiaries]

They love having their input ❤️😂 thanks for watching Mary! Xx

[@little_misscrafty]

I don't have an app, but few years ago I joined my local library. I borrow books monthly and because I have time frames, I hold myself accountable, and when I have free time, I read the books I borrow. I also have kindle unlimited, which allows me to borrow books for free, so again plenty to read. I honestly think, reading saved my life, especially when my mum was unwell and when she passed. My brain really needed the stillness and quiet time to process the grief and heartbreak. I love a good thriller, or cheeky romance, and recently got in to herbology and learning about herbs and medicinal plants. Your furbubies are such a cute and playful pair. Look after yourself Catherine, take the time to nourish your soul and tend to your heart. I truly appreciate you taking the time to share your ideas and life with us. Sending love your way 💖

[@DaintyDiaries]

Sounds like a great routine you have ❤️😍 that’s true, the library time frame keeps you accountable! Hope you’re enjoying your latest read and thanks for stopping by xx

[@wildwolf2567]

Your front garden is looking lovely Catherine. I enjoy the cats appearance's. They are so gorgeous and they have grown so much. Having a good clean is always satisfying. Thank you Catherine.

[@pamthomas-wo9du]

I really love your laid back videos!! no hype/no lies, just you doin what you do and loving those fur babies. Always remember, you do you, my peep.

[@DaintyDiaries]

Aww 🥰 thank you so much Pam! ❤️

[@Summerrose400]

I love your choice in the wall paper and colour scheme….fresh and beautiful.

[@wandaroach765]

I totally understand tell the owner we’re cheering them on.

[@DaintyDiaries]

That’s so kind, thank you x

[@debbyrickett3195]

Catherine, I always enjoy your vlog! I must say, you are wise beyond your years! good for you to recognize and take action :) I do work full time outside of my home, so I stay pretty busy - I'm not a big social media person but I will say, when I do spend time ( too much time) I don't feel well. The same is true for television. I think we all have a word for the year, and mine is intentional. I am trying to be more intentional with my time and how I spend it. I am intentional about a slower life and being content with what I have and where I am in life. I find I have more joy with less screen time. I really do feel a sense of calm and down to earth reality from your vlog. I've been following along now for about 4 years and I am always encouraged and inspired. Thank you. p.s. tell your momma hello!

[@DaintyDiaries]

Intention is a great word for the year ❤️❤️ you’re so right it’s important to prioritise the calls feeling ❤️

[@Angelaleeahava]

Color coding my bookshelves has dramatically reduced my anxiety. Its order and calmness. You are going to love it!!! We are all needing more calmness in our lives.

[@DaintyDiaries]

Always need the calmness ❤️

[@beckid5107]

I also have learned to limit my screen time. It amazed me when I started to set limits for myself, how much more I accomplish. I also feel less stressed. 💕👍

[@jhutch1681]

and how much more sleep I get!

[@mirandapanda8228]

Cat groomer by trade here and yep the main request I get is for cat hygiene trims! Anyone with a long haired cat understands the struggle 😂😂

[@DaintyDiaries]

haha, the struggle is real. Also, we have no local cat groomers here, its all dog groomers. The vet offers to trim nails etc but they associate the vet with stress, we need more kitty spas

[@morganlafae1882]

I had a long hair cat once years ago. My advice is to get both of your cats use to shaving their paw pads. Especially the long haired one. It helps prevent litter from spreading around your home. Cuts down on cleaning and germs! Love your channel ❤️!

[@DaintyDiaries]

Really good tip for the paw trims, Beag does have hair toe beans x

[@vickinoeske1154]

Keeping your mam in my prayers.🙏🙏❤

[@ms.alhajri4068]

The fresh white paint in the door is very satisfying ! ✨️🤍✨️

Love where your new decor is heading for... less flowers and more cottage core. 🙂

[@laurahart2250]

Even here in sunny Australia, you will hear discussions about great drying weather! I think it's a universal thing :)

[@kathyley5661]

Oh my gosh!!! This was such perfect timing! I have been feeling like you for awhile now. I have wondered why. And I'm getting tired of the noise in my ears. Things that interested me are becoming boring. Your sweet gental voice is such a relief. You hit the nail on the head for me. I will probably still have to scroll. I'm not tech savvy. But I will be very selective of what I watch. And go at it all day long. So glad you brought that up. Blessings sweet lady! 😊

[@DaintyDiaries]

Im glad it was helpful, and you are not alone, a lot of us are feeling the same way, and sadly the makers of these apps have made them to be addictive. x

[@kathyley5661]

@@DaintyDiaries thank you .

[@andreasharp2135]

My goodness I can't believe it's been a year since you updated your living room. I love your house and your videos ❤

[@DaintyDiaries]

Time just flies!! Always something new to do ❤️

[@DJ-mj3wd]

I totally get what you're saying about social media! When the pandemic hit here I noticed many really upsetting posts and I realized I didn't want to be a part of social media anymore so I did away with my Facebook and I have not missed it since! I'm much happier without it!

[@DaintyDiaries]

I completely understand where you're coming from. It's important to prioritize our well-being and mental health, especially when it comes to social media. It sounds like removing Facebook was a positive decision for you, and I'm glad to hear you're feeling happier without it. Sometimes stepping back can bring more peace and clarity. Wishing you continued happiness and peace! Take care, Catherine

[@DJ-mj3wd]

@@DaintyDiaries 💛💛💛

[@nestandthimble]

For me, it is not the phone but the computer and TV. I sit at work in front of a monitor and come home to do the same thing. When I burn out on that, I watch TV for hours. I am retraining myself to do chores, do crafts, read, or go for a walk. Technology really does remove us from being present and in the real world.

[@CleoGravel]

Oh I just love your home 🏠 the fur baby’s are adorable 😊hope your mom is doing well 😊thank you for sharing 😊

[@christineh5790]

Love the content with your cute fur babies Catherine! I can’t see enough of their interaction around your daily tasks, as I no longer have any more of these cuddly creatures in my life. I have so many photos of mine in funny situations and mischievous behaviour like yours too. I also think there is nothing as calming as a cat for a pet. They are usually so affectionate and love nothing more than to be with their owners - especially when you don’t want them walking over or thinking your project is time to play?!😂😂🐈‍⬛❤️

[@DaintyDiaries]

Aww thank you so much ❤️ they’re never too far away and are so nosy 😂 I love it though! Wouldn’t change a thing 😍

[@jacquelinegonzalezmahr5301]

That was lovely! I struggle with iPad time but the channels I follow and my evening reading time feels healthy to me. It’s the mindless FB and Instagram scrolling. Too much noise. Definitely not healthy. Time spent in the garden or painting, decluttering, decorating - now that’s living. Especially when you add a 112 Golden Retriever to the mix. We converted part of our basement into two bedrooms. Your videos have inspired me so much. I love cozy, cottage spaces that are easy to care for. Thank you Catherine!

[@sjerzgrl]

It’s so hard to believe that a year has gone by since redoing your living room. Time moves too quickly these days. Thanks Catherine!

[@DaintyDiaries]

I know right?time flies x

[@leanne1234]

Lovely relaxing video, much needed. Your voice is very calming. Loved the sage wallpaper. Colour blocked books, sounds like a plan I might try 🤔. I too have started reading books again, I thoroughly enjoy choosing a new book to read. Books have a special feel about them, hard to explain but I think everyone will understand 💖

[@christineh5790]

This was another really lovely video. The new wallpaper looks beautiful and I would add to other viewers comments thanking the owner for letting us see the DIY on their room. There is nothing so satisfying as a ‘before and after’ view bringing new life into a room or space. Everyone has a space that needs a refresh every few years (including me) and I wished I was as efficient at it as you are Catherine. After many years of being a DIY’er, I would rather instruct someone to complete my ideas now! You make it look so easy but I can appreciate all the effort needed for your redecorating. 👌💖💖

[@DaintyDiaries]

We love a before and after moment ❤️😍 thanks so much Christine xx

[@cnscot9189]

We say the same here in my home town in Scotland. I love a good drying day. Makes us so happy 😂 x

[@maryannemarais7777]

I agree with you on social media, I also get the same feelings if I’m scrolling around too much and start feeling a little bit depressed. It definitely helps to minimize and going for walks or learning a new craft or reading., it makes me feel better about myself and I feel happier. Love the green wallpaper ❤

[@Truthseeker8791]

Audible! Audiobooks saved me in so many ways

[@ruthkaiser6168]

I love your style. Your choice of wallpaper is so beautiful. Very nice home. Your home is amazing and beautiful. It is very calming and homey. Your kitties are adorable and always fun.

[@dwynn57]

can't wait to see the finale of the home that you showed in the beginning of the video! everyone is entitled to their privacy, and even tho you are an influencer, we respect that you have to respect their wishes! I am glad that you recognize that social media or just being on our phones constantly is mind numbing! I have been trying to limit the amount of time that I play on my phone! I have been wanting to read more, so I went back to our library and checked out some books, it feels good to just sit and lose yourself in another world! thanks so much for sharing! xoxo

[@DaintyDiaries]

Ooh brilliant that you got some new books! Enjoy ❤️🩷 thanks for stopping by xx

[@reglindiseckhardt9777]

I live in Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada. Your reference to using clothes lines hit home. When I was growing up in Ontario our clothes lines were always full, but here it is illegal to use a clothes line within the city limits. I love how you are transforming your cottage.

[@Yoshifan75321]

I deal with anxiety as well. I am studying psychology and everything you have said in this video is spot on to what I am learning. I work at a local high school and the kids' phones literally are like an extension of their hand. I no longer watch the news, rarely scroll through social media, and spend most of my evenings with Bob Ross videos playing in the background. Little changes can certainly make big changes in our overall mental health. 💜

[@DaintyDiaries]

Bob Ross is instant calm, I also watch a guy who restores paintings, he is really relaxing to watch. His channel is Baumgartner restorations.

Gosh, I’m glad I’m not the only one who needs a social media time limit. I joined the racquet club to start tennis again and to use the pool for exercising. Loved to days video, I can’t believe it’s been a year since the living room update. ❤ It’s stunning and looks so polished. ❤

[@helenogorman9467]

Hi Catherine. I agree about the phone. It can take over. I always leave mine in another room. That helps. By the way I find that an easy way to tell if paint is water based or not is to just read how to clean the brushes on the tim. If it says clean with white spirit or special cleaner it's oil based and if it says clean with water it's water based.

[@SandieMitchell]

I've said this before; I could pack my clothes and yarn and move in because your house feels like home!🤗🥰

Thanks for this video Catherine...I understand that spacey, disconnected feeling....never thought of the phone connection....definitely going to give it a go ❤. Thanks again and have an enjoyable week !!! 😊

[@susan5301]

Love the new wallpaper! You just have the best taste in decorating! Keep up the lovely work! ♥

[@traceybradshaw]

Oh my goodness, you are so lucky that your window bars are between your panes. We have a very large house and all of the windows have the small panes and are so fiddly to keep clean. We also have multiple set of 10 pane French doors inside. I recently caved in and paid someone to clean them all inside and out and it took them 1/4 of the time (or less) that it would have taken us. Speaking of books, your beautiful signed book is still beside my bed, but I have not had time to read it yet. Work has been so busy (we own 2 businesses) as we are coming up to the end of the financial year here in Australia so I need to have all of the bookkeeping up to date by the end of June. I am going to reward myself with a relaxing weekend soon with a long soak in the bath, reading some books and magazines and enjoying some of my favourite treats.

[@DaintyDiaries]

Oh noo I feel for you and all those window panes! That must be such a dreadful task to do each time! 🥲 good luck with the end of the financial year and wrapping up your books! Definitely a relaxing bath and chill time is on the cards for you soon ❤️ hope you enjoy the book! ❤️

Thank you for the tip about using advice from paint/paper specialists. My daughter is a paint specialist for a large paint company, and did I seek her advice when repainting my exterior door? Well, no I didn’t. I didn’t use the correct primer nor paint. Now it looks like a peeling, bubbled alligator skin!😳🤦🏻‍♀️ She’s like, “Mom…all you had to do was ask.” Subscribers, listen to Catherine! If you don’t do it right the first time, what makes you think that you have time to redo it??? Love the videos of the dynamic duo!🥰🐈‍⬛🐈

But if there is a good drying day, everything and anything will get washed to freshen up, throws, cushion covers and winter puffa coat’s, nothing is safe! Suze 🤗

[@tinekejoldersma]

Persian cat mom here, I comb them every morning and they get lots of treats after combing, cleaning their eyes, brushing their teeth, and sometimes clipping nails. Perks of cats with long hair. Tender bellies make washing needed. I cut the hair around their heinies too. So nothing wrong with that. They are so unhappy if something sticks there. I have Royal Canin food for Persians, there's anti-hairball in it. Regulates that for them. And I am a bit bossy, so no drama scenes when combing, it has to be done 😉

[@MrsBullfinch]

I had to laugh when you mentioned the good drying weather. I live in N Ireland and I was one of those people earlier this week with a clothes line full because of the good drying 😊. I don't have a drier either so good drying weather makes me wash everything in site. Lovely video. Wallpaper and painting come so easy to you. I need to do some but needing some motivation.

[@jhutch1681]

Alkyd, enamel, latex can all be very confusing. I look at the clean up instructions if I am not sure if it's oil or water based paint. I groom my cats daily with a slicker, Kong and comb, and still I am covered in fur! Love my babies :) Love to you and prayers for your mom.

[@francineh.7825]

The room you are redoing will look lovely. I had to laugh at the cats trying to help you reorganize your book case! I just recently downloaded the Forest app when I want to stay focused on what I'm working on. I like trees so it it works for me haha.
