Look Inside Our Renovated Highland Croft Cottage - Ep. 273

[@patriciayassin2983]

It's lovely and very kind of you showing us around. People can be so intrusive and lacking in thought. They should always think would they be OK with the same being asked of them?!

[@FoxesAfloat]

Exactly! x

[@deeangelasidlo4651]

Love your beautiful home...thanks for showing us. X

[@susanb4481]

The problem is you are on their screen and they dont see you as “real” , so they are entitled to whatever access they want. They also think because they are “fans” they own you.

[@theoddjobcentre6686]

You have both done a absolutely amazing job.

[@diannedogwalker8935]

Thank you for the tour lads it looks lovely. I am now in a state of shock though. All that work stripping wood chip ( awful and such hard work) putting up lining paper,painting, titling , remodelling the bathroom, floors, putting in new heating and water systems, shopping choosing and putting together furniture for a whole house whilst.... Building a massive chicken home, a home for Sherlock, being dog dads, learning and producing all that honey and caring for Bees. Not to mention making fantastic videos every week and the radio stuff. In two years !!! My mind has exploded and I am going to lie down in a darkened room. You two are the best x

[@FoxesAfloat]

Haha! Welcome to our world 🤣

[@catherinesmith6308]

Just a wee hint re your wood burner. It will never go dirty if you only clean the glass when the stove is completely cold. Dip a damp cloth into the ash of your stove. Not the gritty bits ,never use coal, that will ruin everything, just the pure ash. It will remove any dirt with just a bit of elbow grease. We’ve had ours for 5-6 years and it still looks as good as new. Good luck. Catherine Smith

[@msvaleriah]

Having random strangers walking through your door would feel so invasive! Ye gods! The Highlands of Scotland are definitely a winner! Your house is beautiful and you did a great job making it your own!

[@FoxesAfloat]

That's very kind of you. Thanks! 💜

[@michellestafford1319]

I personally think its very cozy with lovely personality. The Bee pillow was a nice touch! Thanks for sharing!

[@wendyh2708]

Frankly. I'd let the two of you "have at 'er" and re-decorate my home any day. Your home is beautifully and very tastefully done. It's absolutely lovely. Thank you for sharing this.

[@FoxesAfloat]

That's very kind of you. Thanks! 💜

[@BrewabitRick]

You guys have done an amazing job. Wood chip is a proper nightmare. Insulating is obviously important where you live. A great job I love it fantastic brilliant 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@FoxesAfloat]

Thanks 👍

[@14tfisher]

When my husband and I got married we bought our home straight away, which we still live in today. For our furniture my mum gave us a futon for a bed so we would have something to sleep on, plus I had a small television so we could watch the telly while sitting on the futon. We had a metal folding table (card table) for a table so we could eat our meals on and we bought 2 metal folding chairs so that we could have something to sit on while we ate. We absolutely had nothing in the house for months until eventually we started buying things for our lovely home. It was quite an adventure for us being newly married but as time grew on our house was complete. An till this day we love what we had built from nothing. Your home is lovely, perfect place in the Highlands to have a beautiful little cottage. Love it! 💗 Take care Shaun & Colin 💛

[@FoxesAfloat]

Thank you! 😍

[@MrJohnmiller141]

The house is beautiful guy's, you should be very proud 👏

[@AntFlynn]

Your home looks so cosy. i am really shocked on the boat story's of people just coming on board. I wouldn't dream of doing something like that.

[@FoxesAfloat]

Yup! Happened a lot 🤣

[@FoxesAfloat]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@Motormad196]

Thankyou so much for the tour of your cottage and how you developed it. It’s very tastefully done, and makes a perfect home for you all. People can throw thousands of pounds at properties, and lack any sense of taste or of style. Your home achieves the taste and style throughout, and shows no signs of scrimping to achieve the finished effect. Brilliant!

[@FoxesAfloat]

Haha, knock a zero of that and it's closer to what we had 🤣

[@Judy-xl6cy]

You boys have great taste, well done it looks fabulous.

[@FoxesAfloat]

Thanks so much! 😊

thank you both so very much, it is a Hardddddd decision to make, to show your beautiful and homely home. I am one of those people who is inquisitive and nosey. Enjoy your fantastic home and the country life. you are both very lucky. xx sandra

[@FoxesAfloat]

Ah, it wasn't a hard decision. We showed the inside of the boat enough times. Just wanted to wait a while. x

[@rozwood1668]

It is a lovely croft and you have fabulous taste! I think you should go into interior design! I have the same tiles in my kitchen as you do....great minds and all that! I can't believe that people came onto your boat without asking! I'd be too shy! ❤❤

[@FoxesAfloat]

Ah, they did many a time. Still happens up here at the house! 😂

[@AnxiousKoala]

VERY smart to keep your privacy and not show the exterior of the home. The interior is fantastic! If that was on a limited budget, well done!

For a couple of dudes, you two did a remarkable job decorating. I love everything you showed us!

Aww thank you 🤩

[@prideprejudice9825]

That's called STUCCO. What you guys call "wood chip wall paoer" is actually called STUCCO or POPCORN Ceiling in U.S.A.. It is a NIGHTMARE to get rid of. I'm happy you guy's were able to get rid of it.

[@ralphfeatherstone7813]

[@marjoriejohnson6535]

My late husband used to turn fire places to stoves..much as you did except he backed the stove with laid blue stone and the base was blue stone..this was his winter employment and summer he built stone patios, picnic tables, walkways and walls all of blue stone for artists, lawyers and doctors. He would have loved working and teaching you at the croft. He made some great friends while making a good living ..funny after he started doing that he no longer lifted weights at a gym..lol....

[@KarenSmith958]

I would NEVER have asked, but loved the tour 🙂 especially the pictures on your living room wall. It's the little things that count!

You’ve done soooooo much work and it’s definitely paid off. Your home is beautiful. Thank you for sharing your journey. I find it UNBELIEVABLE that some people have no boundaries thinking they can just pop into your space, your home, and think it’s ok 🤯. Have a wonderful weekend. 😁💗💗😁

LOVE what you did two did with your house! It looks absolutely smashing. I can't imagine someone just walking into my home the way you described on Silver Fox. WTH are people thinking. Love the doggy kisses and the outtakes always make me chuckle. The delivery man sure got a surprise that day, lucky guy!

[@fumbleknit719]

I can. There are people who are so self-involved that they see the rest of us as possessions. To them we Others are either chattel, servants and toys, or we are nothing at all.

You never cease to amaze me with you skills, imagination, talents and willingness to allow us into your lives and now your home. I must admit I am one of those intrusive types that did wish to see your home, sorry, just human nature I guess. Well, you have shared and oh how you have once again impessed. Lovely, comfy and in such good taste. Thank you for you generous spirits that answers, us way too intrusive followers, who always seems to ask far too much personal information of you. This was above and beyond. BUT I sure enjoyed being a vigour 🤓

[@darylwade2335]

I look at your narrowboat experience as an extended vacation. I learned so much from watching your videos, incredible history! However, as my wife and I are now retired and living in our home, two major advantages... we can go outside in our yard at our leisure, and most importantly, after 47 years, we need the "space" to be apart from each other, while in our home. Love the way you have set things up, including the yard and animals. Watching from Nanton Alberta Canada.

Well done chaps for a great job on your house. Yes, people are naturally inquisitive, fortunately most of us know not to cross the line into intrusiveness and downright bad manners!

Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us. Celebrities typically need to keep their whereabouts confidential. I have "met" numerous celebs, and have always respected their privacy. Sometimes, I brief wave (Jerry Springer), sometimes a brief conversation telling them of my admiration for their work, (James Carville). If the opportunity permits, I always enjoy an extended conversation (Peter Sellers), so long as the celeb is willing, they decide. So, again, thanks and remember it's OK to remind people every now and again that you need privacy.
