My home is my (fairy) castle - transforming an old seaside Cottage to be our home

Hello Everyone,
after receiving so many compliments on my home, I thought I create a video for you to see how our lovely seaside Cottage was transformed from an empty shell into our home.
I hope you enjoy it - if you have any questions, let me know!
Sending your lots of love 🧚

A previous co-worker recently sent me a link to your videos stating that she felt my spirit in what you shared. I can see why she thought that. This video was inspiring. For the last ten years, I have live a more nomadic life not by choice and had to down size and store most of my belongings. Watching your life-dream transformation video gave me hope that maybe one day, I can create a niche where my soul can find its home. The bedroom dresser with birds on it really spoke to me. I am sorting that idea away. Scotland has spoken to me for years. At the age of 15, I was taking a foreign language class in high school and we had the opportunity to complete a form to connect with someone overseas via a pen pal program. I picked a pen pal from Scotland. It is unbelievable that 46 years later, we are still writing to each other (yes, snail mail letters with some emailing, too). He was raised in Bridge of Allan, Stirling. His family is still there and he visits often even though he is now living elsewhere. Thank you for sharing your Light and Truth with the world. You've made it a better, brighter place for all of us.

Hello and thank you for this wonderful comment, I really appreciate it. It humbles me that there are these kindred souls out there watching my videos and enjoying them. I can only highly praise living in Scotland. For me the beauty and scenery it key and makes my life so much better (besides the lovely people of Scotland and her rich history). That is wonderful about your pen pal - you already have a friend in Scotland. Keep up your project of finding your niche and if you can come to this wonderful country. Have a lovely day 🧚

[@KimtheElder]

I'm always sad to see changes to an older home - as it was loved by the prior owner - BUT, when I see the newly loved home brought back to life with such joy, I'm so happy. What a treasure you found and how lovely it is with you and your husband's touches 🩵🩶 New subscriber😊

We had a cottage on Lake Superior in MI USA and we spent 2 years making it the cutest, coziest place ever but then we left it to move back near family. I’m 62 now, so doubt I willl ever do it again and will just have to be satisfied watching others share theirs special places now. Your place is just precious. Thanks for the video!

My husband and I have a 520 square foot, 1 bedroom/I bath cottage on the Oregon coast (USA). It was built in 1929 and is in need of some foundation work this summer. When that is completed, we will start on the inside of the house. I have been wanting to do a beach cottage theme without looking too cute and over done. You've given me some fabulous inspiration! Thank you!
