Tour my New Home - Treehouse Apartment in the Forest

[@willowhome]

The house looks so cosy surrounded by the nature, I can’t wait to see how you will decorate it and make it a home. Sending you all my good energy!!! ♥️

[@TheCottageFairy]

A huge apology for the poor camera quality during the walkthrough tour. I only had an old phone with me when I got the chance to film it empty! It is now filled with boxes that I need to sort 😬 I appreciate your understanding of this time of transition, let me know if you have any ideas for decorating the space! *thank you to the subscriber who sent me the carving featured in this video, it is so beautiful! I sent you a card and hope you receive it soon ❤️

[@flybywire5866]

Dont worry about your viewers. Moving is not an easy task. Neither physically nor emotionally.

[@emma-liz]

I think (and hope) no one complains about that your videos are still perfect 🥰

[@rrhines3151]

No worries about the camera quality, P… Yes, keep the lace curtains! Fabric is gorgeous and if curtains don’t seem like a fit for you, what about sewing them into pillows? Just an idea! You are SO creative! You do seem like you are being respectful of your new home and trying to introduce yourself to the space. The wood is gorgeous and I feel like you’re trying to work with the energy of your new special place! That’s a wonderful quality! Have you settled on a space for Mr Darcy? Love 💕 and light 🙏🏻 as you transition! Until next time!

[@maryb.222]

The lace curtain is lovely. And best of luck as you meander into this new phase. Your home will be gorgeous. ❤️

[@katerinab.8771]

Don't worry about camera. I didn't notice 🙂. Your videos are perfect. We feel and watch your energy and personality. I only have iPhone7 and I don't care if my videos are best quality, so far.

[@candacenagle505]

My initial thought as you brought us into this new home was, "Oh,She is surrounded by love!" The treehouse is part of the forest...all of those trees connected through their roots, are embracing your home. It is absolutely lovely. And you have two men who are lovingly building your house. And you are surrounded by the love of family! As you bring in your treasures and cook and create in the space, it will become home. AND the curtains...yes...change them out. I think brighter lace curtains like you had in your other home will be better! There are always ups and downs in a big change but, gradually, things will settle out and you will have created another peaceful and magical home. Lastly, having a birds eye view of what is going on in the trees is going to be an entire new adventure!

[@LifewithAlegria]

What a beautiful comment Candace. That is exactly how I felt too about the trees.

[@andreadalton3489]

I feel that your restlessness has less to do with the house than with the fact that you will now be sharing your life forever, perhaps have given up a tiny bit of yourself. Compared to the serenity of the fairy tale cottage you are now flooded with so many sensory experiences and responsibility to others, it will take time to adjust. God bless and take it slowly ❤

[@BelindaTN]

Nothing screams warmth and cozy like wooden walls. Love the tree house.

[@lindasteinbrenner8065]

Your new home looks very warm and sweet. For decorating ideas.. I would go with the lightest window treatments as possible, to let in the maximum amount of light as possible. It’s going to be beautiful with all your lovely decorating ideas and infused with your lovely spirit! Take your time.. and don’t fret we’ll be here for you. ❤️

[@outdoorhannah]

Yeah same, I would choose something that let's in a lot of light as it seems a bit darker than the other cabin. Super cozy though, but might be a thing in the winter. :)

[@Wildflowerafternoons]

Yes. Each house (until it is made a home) has a feel. Don’t be too weirded out by it. The feel changes once you give it a new feel. It’s going to be okay. Biggest hugs. Peace, Love and Light

[@Godwinpounds4333]

Hi 👋 dear, how are you doing?

[@brifren2]

I feel that this house was waiting for you 🥰 If it could speak, it would tell you how happy it is that it has found you! This house is becoming your little kingdom, and we know that it is going to be as enchanting as your previous cottage, even perhaps more. Your fiance and you are so lucky to have such a beautiful, romantic home, in the heart of nature! All the wood everywhere inside reminds me of our (rented) chalet in the French Alps in a tiny village near Chamonix, I loved it so much, our parents took us there every Easter and many decades later, I am still in love with that magical place 💖

Please do not remove those curtains they are Beautiful! You have given me much Harmony from your videos. The nature, the music and your voice is calming. Thank you! I consider this as a gift! Your treehouse I already Love! Quaint and natural Beauty.

[@eiichironagaya2179]

Living in the forest is definitely blessing! Birdsongs, breeze, the sound of a small stream and etc... Full of nature sounds and peace. Recently I have got a small wooden cottage and the longer I stay there, the more I feel connected to nature. I would love you to visit my cottage in Japan one day!

[@batfacedgirl]

Your cottage was an amazing space but it was your beautiful perspective that made it what it was, and you get to carry that wherever you go. It’s like a kind of magic. You can transform any place into a cozy little haven and you’ll get there with the treehouse, it’s already got the stirrings of such a beautiful home. Can’t wait to see what you do! 💛💐

[@lamar9331]

The house is from another time, that's why it feels so special. The birds eye view is wonderful. You can see all of nature above and below. Love your new place. Much happiness.

[@kelsey.grace_]

transition periods can be some of the scariest-but are necessary for growth, always bringing us closer to our most authentic selves. the treehouse already seems to be feeling warmer and more full of life! I look forward to your stories filling the walls 💛

[@emilymichalisin7178]

I know I speak for everyone when I say “welcome home” ! With your sense of creativity and personal style you will definitely make this place a home for you and Luke. I am so happy for you and can’t wait to see how you transform this space into a sweet, serene, safe place to live your happily ever after. Sending my love ❤️

[@bluewrenreilly8090]

How fortunate to have two competent men like your husband and his father to build such an attractive place for you and Luke to begin your married life together. Wishing you a blessed and peaceful future together which will enrich both your lives.

[@PicklesFiona]

Yes, having people on hand who are handy is the best!

[@cambrown8023]

Ideas: Replace plaid curtains, maybe keep the lace curtains. They're pretty. Instead of carpet in bedroom, may be a large area rug, as long as you have a wooden floor. If you are able to get a secondhand farmhouse sink, I think it would be a fitting home for that. Maybe a wind chime or triangle. A nice, comfy stuffed chair to read in. If possible, a small stove pipe fireplace.

[@annanimous5214]

I second the removal of the plaid and keeping the lace as well as the hardwood floor with area rug idea. Carpeted floors usually cover beautifully wood. :)

[@becomingadreamcatcher]

The house looks very beautiful and knowing you from all your lovely videos you will transform this place into a magical, nostalgic and astonishing home in no time where not only you can follow your dreams but allow us to nourish our own as well. 💚

[@survivalskills7184]

Your cabin is very nice, I also had a cabin of my own. It is a pleasure to live with nature every day. wish you always healthy

[@parry3231]

It's a good thing to have curtains for the summer and different ones that are heavier for the winter. Following your own unique heart's desires and the creativity of your personal life and your choices that make you feel at home with your mate. It will be a fun time for you to make your nest. You have a lifetime to enjoy and cherish. The desk will always be a treasure. You will find the perfect space for your baking and your art , time will bring you a great gift of joy and comfort. Home is where the heart is. ❤

[@MoonDancingNana]

Every house has it's own emotions and the Treehouse is warm, welcoming and waiting for rebirth. You are the source for it's life.

[@lionessm235]

I love the new Cottage! “The Treehouse” is a great name! To answer your question, I would change the plaid curtains for something more light and airy. You can always use the fabric for something else later. I would also extend the curtain rods a bit so that when you pull the curtains back, the entire window is exposed giving the maximum amount of light, with the beautiful curtains you choose framing the view. If you could pull up a corner of that carpet in the back room and see what is underneath, that would be helpful. If it is the same beautiful wood flooring, I would pull the carpet up now and give the floor a good clean while you do not have much furniture to get in the way. You could get a rug now or later for the space. If the carpet has to stay for now, I would recommend borrowing or renting a steam cleaner and giving it a good refresh, again, while there is no furniture to get in the way and where it can sit and dry properly afterward. JMO I know you will be putting your fairy touches everywhere and the beautiful wood walls will be a delightful canvas for your creativity! Thank you for sharing with us in this time of transition. I heard a new saying a few years ago that has helped me greatly, “Little is the new big, and slow is the new fast.” 🌳

[@DrLynika]

What a beautiful, heart filling comment Lioness. Your warm words and ideas really made a bright impact here too 🙏🏽🌏💫

[@samfletcher1617]

This little apartment looks like a wonderful canvas for you to poor your heart into 🌲curtains-wise, I'd say "depends..." One thing that might be nice in this setting is what my wife has done in our home. She used beautiful old quilts she found in thrift stores and converted them into curtains. It also helps keep the cold out in the winter and heat out in the summer. I look forward to seeing this little space become a home 😉

[@tinaluu9810]

Thats a awesome idea

[@QTrooper]

Ah, yes. The energy of a home is very real and you have such a sweet spirit that comes through in your decorating choices. No need to apologize for the camera quality...the most important thing is that we get to see and hear you. Most of us are aware of your transition to your new space, and everyone here is so loving and patient. It seems we all want the calmness that you bring and also create in your personal space. I think the little apartment is so YOU! Close to nature. I can't wait to see how it comes together. I understand your wanting to bake, but even those lovely moments of tea time with you are refreshing for the soul. God bless and keep all of you safe and healthy!

[@gazorna]

I've renovated several old homes - advice: Do the floors first. Pull out that carpet now, even if you're living on a subfloor. The carpet crud gets everywhere and it's nasty to have floating around on your stuff. Buy or thrift an old rug for the interim if you can't afford or have time to put in matching wood floors.

[@kridder1018]

Oh my, this place is absolutely stunning! Small, quaint, and stunning. Oh how spending a week there would be a delight. For curtains, flat sheets work wonders and come in so many patterns. I love taking sheets from thrift stores (and antique stores) to turn into curtains. It seems weird, but they make the most beautiful curtains. I can see a lot of earthy tones in there. Greens, blues, pinks, purples and golds in particular. The little shelf above the stove would make a beautiful place to display flowers, and even a few copper pans. Thank you for sharing this moving process with us and your new home. I hope this transition goes smoothly for you and that you find peace and comfort in your new abode.

[@ani9603]

I L❤VE your idea about the curtains! Brilliant!

[@hollyjohnson9688]

Good idea about the sheets! Thank you!

[@PS-bs8oe]

Yeah, I did that too and added bonus is that sheets wash very well in machine or big sink, no shrinkage problems and they dry quickly too. It is a wonderful solution for People allergic to dust.

[@kevinnkerrystevens8127]

thats such a good idea thanks for sharing

[@carolynsfo]

I absolutely believe that our "home" takes on the energy of the occupants. If the occupants are calm and peaceful, then so will the space/home. You, dear one, have always radiated such a calm and peaceful vibe. Your new home will be just as calm and peaceful. Many blessings in your new home! Be blessed, C.

[@Ellary_Rosewood]

Your new home looks so cozy and charming! I can't wait to see how you decorate it and make it a true home. Wishing you the very best in this exciting new adventure of yours! ❤️🥰

[@janaschuster2813]

The location and light of this space is magical. I can see how your partner and you will bring your creative energy to this space beautifully. From an interior design perspective, I think it’s worth thinking maybe of either sanding the orange stain off the cedar walls (you can hire powerful sanders to help with this) and then just oil it in linseed. Or to in fact paint the timber walls an off white. At the moment it’s very 80s timber heavy, quite orange. I think you could make the space feel even lighter and more a celebration of the treetop views, the hardwood flooring and your beautiful antiques and art, if the walls aren’t also orange timber. By creating a bit of contrast in colour on the walls, the space would feel more open and like it breaths more, if this makes sense (perhaps look at Studio McGee for inspiration; they combine natural materials and palettes v well in such a balanced way that nothing feels overbearing). Wishing you joy in making this your shared home!

[@tothewaters.tothewild9148]

Jana, I think that is a wonderful idea about the walls. It would open up the space so much more!

[@jmk1962]

I agree. I hate orangey wood, think it makes a place look like the inside of a sauna when it's orange wood. It would look so much better white washed.

[@tamzinsturgeon5053]

this is great advice i totally agree!:)

[@gailsprangers9388]

On the one hand, the wood does make the cottage appear dark, but on the other hand being creative with small areas of light colors to break it up and give it visual interest would also be nice and make it hers. As an artist, I can only guess what her imagination can come up with. Perhaps one section of wall with pressed flowers on a cream colored parchment background. Maybe simple sheer material in a way that gives a break from the repeated lines of the wood. Who knows. That's why I am so excited to see what Paola comes up with. She mentioned that she loved the wood walls, so maybe just some white lace curtains or other tricks that will lighten it up. It's definitely a blank slate for her to walk around and get to know what speaks to her.

[@gailsprangers9388]

Oh, I meant to mention that the soft creams and pale green in your last home was calming so maybe bring a little of those colors in your art room so it feels a little familiar. It might be a nice transition without copying everything.

[@muinbear4702]

Don't worry it will soon feel like home. You have the ability to do that easily but it does take a little time. Your lovely energy will pervade the whole structure. I've moved so many times and not always through choice, but it's your love and energy that create a home out of a house. You are blessed that you have the time to make the transition a gradual one which helps hugely I'm sure. Enjoy the process as much as you can. I wish you and Luke many happy times creating wonderful memories in your beautiful new home ❤️🙏🏡👩‍❤️‍👨🌲🌳❤️

[@dori9024]

Home is where ever your family and friends are. Get to know your new home and don’t rush to decorate. You now have the perfect canvas to curate your home to your needs and personal style. God bless your new home 🏡.

[@vickyincornwall]

I can relate to how discombobulating change can be, no matter how happy the reasons for it. It can be draining, disorienting, and when it's a house move doubly so because you don't have your usual safe space in which to recharge. So be kind to yourself while you have fun visualising all the wonderful things you will do in the new place! It will come together so beautifully in the end. And yes, I'd ditch those curtains and put your own stamp on it! Gosh I'm so envious, it looks wonderful. Very happy for you guys. Sending love from Cornwall, England. :) Vicky

[@LaSorciereFeuillue]

@Vicky Chalmers I love the word discombobulate!

[@itschelseakay]

The walls are gorgeous! I love how bright and open the space is but cozy with the warm wood tones. The outdoor balcony space will be SO nice in the warmer months to sit out on. Please don’t feel pressure to post! Do it all on your own time 💕

[@missdenim6590]

I think just calling your home "cottage" and "treehouse" is Step #1 to making it comfortable, peaceful etc 😊 I'm officially naming my home Rutland. I guess kind of like the old estates, they had cool names 🤔😊 I love it

[@Shyflyingsaucer]

This is a real thing tho! I have a bottom floor apartment in the city that I call my “cottage”. I think it has a cottage vibe because there’s a coffee shop down the hall so it always smells like coffee when I step outside. It has a porch that gets nice sunshine. It has some windows that don’t have good views but let in a nice amount of sunshine. It has a pretty blue and brown kitchen with marble counters. And all this just makes me feel like it’s a little cottage nestled in the city. Kinda like howl’s castle.

[@bojanapavlovic294]

I am watching this video donno for the which time and enjoy how beautiful and calming it is.

[@robertpina99]

I worked retail for many years and finally got the courage to cut back on expenses, go back to university, and then on to grad school. No matter that I'm old enough to be your grandfather. These videos make me appreciate the "room of one's own" that Virginia Woolf told us we'd need to become artists. I'm happily engaged in simplifying my life, thinking of the future, and dazzling myself with works of uncommon beauty. Thanks so much for your insights. Onward!

[@barbaraliston5959]

My first impression is how nice the windows are big , how wonderful to have a second floor for future hobby work and a kitchenette too, and all the cute points like an outside landing and stairs. I couldn't help but imagine you sketching and painting your woodland creatures over the doorways, around the cabinets or open closet. I even imagined you paying homage to the horses who once lived there, by your rendering on a downstairs wall someday, perhaps just peeking over a piece of wood trim that resembled a stable enclosure. I dreamed up a mouse peeking out from a corner with an open door that when closed completed the drawing of his rear side and a little straw bed-nest, haha. All I can think of is your talent for floral and fauna art has no bounds, and how the contrast of your feminine touches with the rustic history of this barn, plus Luke and his Dad's pre-wedding labor of love, will create such a unique ''feel'' to all who enter. That ''feel'' will be one of love, of heart-warming memories and ''home sweet home''. Sending you lots of love,💕 Barb

[@mikeoutdoors4729]

The positive energy in the home will come sooner than you think. It took me about a year but my current house feels even more peaceful than I expected. Also us artists aren't fans of change. I had to rip my grape vine and other perennial garden plants out of the ground to move them to my current home and now I feel like this is the best garden I've had. Best wishes!

[@macnchessplz]

She’s onto something saying different homes have a certain feeling (energy) to them. I think it has to do with what activity has happened inside the home. Some feel calm and peaceful.Others stuffy or sterile. Only one, I walked into a house in process of being packed up and it felt so sad and just negative, it felt smothering and almost made me cry. I was happy to get out of there (and never went back). Paola’s opinion of the feel of different homes is not silly at all. I have a feeling this new home of hers she will turn into magic . Looking forward to seeing the progress and decor.

[@anitalindsay6658]

Everybody and everything has a frequency. When I purchased my cottage, I waited for it to reveal itself to me as I made repairs and decorated. Oh yes, homes are spiritual and nourish us. Happy homemaking - hugs!

[@kaitlinmeadows6273]

What a beautiful bower! And you will make it a magical nest, adding your things, beginning to make your art, bake, garden, and add the sweet energies of new memories with your Beloved. We are all with you in spirit, helping hang the curtains, bringing in fresh flowers, dancing in the kitchen while our hearts celebrate new beginnings with you!

[@debbiefletcher4781]

Definitely keep your lace panels. I love old lace at the windows. Very dreamy and magical. I’ve actually cut lace and attached it directly to my kitchen window. All I do is press it on with liquid starch, I let it dry and when needed to clean, it simply peels right off. I gently wash it by hand, let it dry and put back up with more liquid starch. OR stretch a piece of your lace panel over a simple frame and move it as desired. Your lace panel is part of who you are… So simply consider trying it. ENJOY the process Paola. Remember all things of comfort and beauty take time to create. What a beautiful new Adventure your just beginning. Take the time you need to make it your home and haven. What a delightful place among all the woodland creatures. 😊💕

[@gabribellart]

Dear Paola, I find this house in the wood just magical!! It looks like a very special, cozy place, full of fairytales. I love it and wish you in your new home all the best. 🤗 with much love ❤️

[@countryatheart5462]

Hi Paola, I've moved several times myself so I understand your feelings. When I watched your video I had a vision of you with your candles. Being a sensitive person myself, I find certain smells can be comforting for me. They can 'smell like home' and bring me feelings of joy. That might be a nice thing to do each time your there - light your favourite candle. Let it burn for a little while. Then on move-in day the house will smell and therefore feel more like yours. Just a suggestion. Huge fan of your channel. Big hugs from Australia 💕

[@thequietlittleteacup]

Oh my goodness! This house looks like you! It definitely fits your personality and your fiancé’s too. As I’ve watched your videos from the beginning I’ve absolutely loved how so many things in your life have fallen into place in such a blessed way. From you moving to the countryside, to finding your perfect little cottage, to starting your own beloved business, to finding love and now to finding a perfect home with Luke. I have no doubt this new home will be filled with you and Luke’s magic. I pray that your and your loved ones’ lives are filled with many more blessings to come. P.S. can’t wait for new designs to come to your Etsy shop. I’ve already bought every single design so far lol! You have my love and support 😉❤️

[@maxineehle3531]

You are totally correct.....each building has it's own feel! I think it takes a little while, as you are saying goodbye to your little "fairy cottage", to transfer your imagination into another space. 🤔 The imprint of all your little paintings, so lovingly placed on surfaces, will start to fade......and new inspirations, especially as you place your sweet furnishings within the new walls. Blessings in each new day as you feel your's and Luke's and puppy's presence more evident in this different new space. 💖

[@adrianfirth5752]

Your tree house home is lovely! Congratulations! You will no doubt imbue and cultivate your own peaceful energy there once you settle in. To help with this transition you may want to ‘cleanse’ the energy that lingers from the the previous occupants and sage the rooms. It neutralizes any negative energy left behind from others to make way for your own renewed energy to enter the spaces you will now occupy; and your energy is indeed peaceful and blissful. This is more than just a symbolic gesture. It is an intimate way of introducing yourself to the structure and surroundings. They will surely welcome you with open arms!

Hi 👋 Denise, how are you doing?

[@fegrace_1]

I think your new house looks nice and with love, decor, and people it will become a home. One suggestion: I have is that it would benefit from lights (overhead, twinkles, and lamps etc). Since it seems to be in the woods it looks dark/moody which seems the opposite of your personality. I don’t see you painting the walls white so I think that lights will brighten the space up!

[@RoseRedRoseWhite]

Especially if they're plug-in LEDs that can be nestled into vintage glassware!

I believe any space you occupy will become a peaceful haven. It takes time to settle in and bring in the vibe you need to thrive in your space. Love it!

And, in this day and age, we tend to hurry through activities such as moving, organizing and cleaning, giving them a bad reputation, when in fact, when done slowly and mindfully, they can be enjoyable activities.

Thank you for sharing with us. I've always believed our physical homes embrace what we bring into them, both the physical belongings and our emotional and spiritual gifts. Taking time to move in, to decorate, allows you to fit yourself to the home and be informed by its best aspects. I do love the lace curtains, and think they would add a certain softness and femininity to complement the more wood paneling - which I love, and have always loved exactly for that reason, because to me the wood walls and floors are the masculine aspect that is then complemented and balanced by the more feminine aspects of a home like floral or lace curtains, pillows and bedding, flowers, etc. No apologies needed for your video quality - it was just fine.

Ah, this was just lovely. You are such a gentle soul. You can make even something like this still feel soothing. Please don't feel you need to rush back to your usual content, at least not for our sakes. I'm invested in your story and so appreciate you bringing us along on this transition. Honestly, it's helping me, too, because I also miss your valley and little cottage, all while looking forward to the ways you will transform your new house into a home that is uniquely you. Seeing the steps of this move is great. I love the lace curtains. They are so you, I thought they were an addition, not existing. The desk is amazing. I love your ideas for upcoming content and would enjoy hearing about your decorating process. Thank you for being open about how this change is affecting you. It seems natural that for a person so bound to place that you would feel a little uprooted now. But I can also see your openness and gratitude and have no doubt that your roots will grow well and deep in this home, too. Blessings, Paola.

The curtains are lovely. I wouldn't replace them. They're unique; not your typical sheers. And they offer a beautiful textural contrast to the plaid curtains. There's a sense of warmth and comfort. Gorgeous space.

How enchanting your new home is, surrounded by beautiful trees, and the trees will bless you with their wisdom and strength. Lots of animals and birds to inspire you too. I love the view from the top, your "tree house". I do think you are wise to go slowly and move in gradually, putting your own touches and artwork into your new home. Whenever I've moved, I find it does take at least 6 months maybe even a year before it feels like "home" , but I'm sure you and Luke will make such a lovely cosy and loving home there together. Sending you both many blessings and abundant happiness for your future together. Oh, it's such exciting times and new adventures! Blessings to you both and your families too. Love from Wendy, in the UK. 💕xx

Your home often takes the "feel" you create. My career is helping others clearing clutter & creating their space that's very individual so i see many different versions. You previous home was a beautiful reflection of your kind & nature loving spirit. I am sure this new home will be too. I am enjoying watching you go thru the process.

[@Godwinpounds4333]

Hello 👋 dear, how are you doing?

[@earthstar2493]

Congratulations! Because of you I replaced my tupperware with antique glass animal jars. I've switched my knobs to leaf shaped knobs and I finally bought an antique typewriter that will blend with my cottage theme camper. I have wreaths on my walls and butterfly wall hangings for my essential oils. My camper is to me what your cottage was to you. Thank you for the inspiration. P.s. I don't care for the plaid curtains but you are making a home for your blooming family, you need to ask what your s.o. thinks, not what we think.

[@lucyhancock555]

What a lovely space! I’ve always found that a home, regardless of the decor style, reflects the energy of its occupants. Your a lovely, creative and gentle spirit. Your space will always feel serene because it’s who you are. Looking forward to seeing all your special touches you will bring! ❤️

[@theraptureisnearbelieveinj7695]

As long as you’re staying true to what you want in life, and not what others want for you, is key. It’s never too late to change your mind, no matter what it is. God be with you Cottage Fairy. ✝️

Renovation of a barn into a home by your fiancé (and his father) is such a beautiful overt display of love via an "act of service".

[@ladyofthewood5604]

This is a lovely, serene setting for your new home. There's such peace here, and the view of the tall trees in your forest, while different from the previous vistas, has a grandeur all its own. Thank you for sharing your space with us. I hope you will let us be a part of your journey as you settle in and create your own unique spot in the wood. There will be plenty of new fairies to meet here, I'm sure.

[@tarannumafreen6320]

When I was growing up,we moved a lot because of my father's job. Moving in to a new place is always a little scary, but it opens up endless possibilities for decorating and opportunity to create new memories. I hope you are taking good care of yourself and Luke too. Stay safe and healthy 💕

[@michellehooper661]

I think this new home has nature in common with your last home. Being surrounded by trees is beautiful! I’m sure over the next weeks and months you will put your own creative stamp on the home and it will look homely and calm. The home has lots of potential and I love all the wood. It’s an exciting chapter for you and you are right to take it slowly a day at a time.

[@bellerubin]

Whenever i'm not having a good day i know I will find solace in your channel Paola. Just the sound of your voice is comforting. I sold my apartment in town 6 months ago, wanting to move out of a city apartment. We still have not found the right home in a rural setting which is stressful because of rising prices and the need to move out now within 3 months max. I loved this video and have read many of the comments, which i find comforting also and some good ideas. You and Luke are truly blessed and loved so much by your subscribers. I love your new home - how could anyone not.? This looks like paradise ❤🙌 blessings from Jerusalem

[@vickiarn]

It was lovely to quickly see a video after you moved out of your cottage. You are super lucky to have a house like this and close to family. I feel like the land fairies are surrounding your home. I can almost see them flitting around your house, and I feel like they are looking forward to your future garden. It will be the perfect house, it is cozy and extraordinary, and you will have lots of fun decorating and making it your own. I live in a log home, and we have been here for 16 years; we mainly built everything on our 9 acres by ourselves except for the house. It took that 16 years to finally feel complete, and it was loads of fun getting there. One thing that I learned during these 16 years of building our farm is that enjoying the process is the key. It actually is the key to a happy life. Good luck with your new home, it's perfect.

[@Kate42]

Very charming! I can't wait to see what you do with it. Yes, change the curtains. I love the lace/sheer curtains you had before.

[@onceuponarhi]

Welcome home! 🌱 I hope your journey into this new “era” is lovely and peaceful, for you and for Luke, and your little furry creatures. Can’t wait to see how you two decorate and make it your own! ❤️

[@outdoorhannah]

Totally forgot about her little animals, I hope they're all settling in nicely

[@MitzziM]

Yes! Every house has its own personality. It's so fun to blend your personality to the new space. The trees are wonderful guardians and it's truly a magical new place that you will soon love so much! Many blessings on your new journey!

[@brendawhite3156]

You are so right, Paola, about the energy in our environment. All things have an energy about them, a subject few know, one that I didn't know about until during my recovery in my quest to understand how I got so sick with cancer. I admire you so much for realizing this very necessary topic. I encourage you to continue sharing, lacing within your videos, how important the environment we create for ourselves through our energy can make or break us. You are blessed to take your time moving in, enjoying this journey, keeping all things positive. Your new environment will reward you with beautiful memories. God bless you, Luke, and all those supporting you through this transition.

[@susanmurphy1986]

I’m in love with Mr. Fox 🦊 you put on your windowsill 🥰🥰 Best of luck & take your time 💐💐

[@Godwinpounds4333]

Hi 👋 Susan, how are you doing?

[@GalvanicFantasyYT]

I absolutely relate to houses having a feeling or aura to them. When I first walked into our current home - after touring dozens - it just felt "happy". I don't know how else to describe it. I decided to buy it in the entryway and it has been a happy place for our family that I still love coming home to. Best wishes as you continue creating your new home. 🤗

[@jasminm8784]

The house looks so cozy and I can almost see how you will creatively make it your home. I really don't think you need decoration advice. You have such an incredible sense for artsy decoration, I am sure it will be beautiful Paola!

[@liz_21]

The house looks so cosy and the earthy colours are so pleasing to my eyes. I'm sure you're gonna make it a great home, Paola. 🤍

[@janew4690]

It is hard but so much fun to make a new home. This is a lovely rustic looking but cozy home. What fun for you! You are the designer and you can make it slowly into the perfect space. All houses have feelings. I lived in a 1745 antique cape that felt like it breathed and was so happy for us to live there. We can create the atmosphere we desire and from scratch!

[@susiemackie53]

For many years I lived in a country home surrounded by nature. Circumstances led to new transitions but I often reflect on my time in my little house and treasure those memories...and you are just beginning to make yours!

[@kellyssimplesouthernlife2174]

This new place seems just as magical as the last! It looks like something out of a storybook. I have no doubt you will add so much charm and beauty once you are settled. I LOVE the lace curtains very much. I am super excited about future videos about decorating on a budget. Take your time, breath and know that we are all here cheering you on!

[@dougjensen8838]

What wonderful adventures you and Luke have ahead of you❣️You have landed like a bird in spring among the branches, nesting and nestling in. How beautiful! Enjoy the moment and take it all in.♥️♥️♥️ Kathy Jensen

[@Megan-vb9ze]

A house just like this, a cottage in nature away from other people, has been one of my biggest dreams for as long as I can remember, I'm so happy seeing you moving into such a lovely place, even if it's overwhelming. Luke's work on it is also very beautiful!

[@KENTUCKYUSA1]

It is lovely to see you again, dear. Take your time with your decorating. There is no need to hurry. Your little house is perfect. All it needs is you.

[@maryanntruog180]

What a lovely little home. For the 45 years we have been married we decorate the same and enjoy it tremendously. Every time in life is a new chapter. Now our children are grown and on their own and we grow lavender and make soap and products and sell at our Farm Market. Every time in life is a gift.

[@Glamst.447]

I feel the same way about transportations, when done slowly it’s a much healthier process. 🥰 Thanks for showing us your beautiful home I love the walls it reminds me of my home 💚

[@nickialbertson]

Ahhhh I saw Mr. Fox!! I'm so happy! Best wishes in this wonderful new house!

[@senbebe3320]

Aww also me and many other people here would be very interested in learning how you decorate on a smaller budget and your future garden plans 🥰. Also you don't sound silly at all when you say that different spaces have different atmospheres! I honestly think this too and it may also be related to the different energies in the space. But I'm definitely hoping that you and everyone else is doing well especially in this cathartic time xx ❤️

[@QuiltStitcher]

I absolutely love the warmth of all the natural wood; it makes me feel like the home is giving you a warm hug. The views are beautiful. If privacy is not an issue, I would leave the windows uncovered; if privacy is an issue, I would use sheer white coverings. With all the wood tones, you might feel a need to have more lighting (lamps) in this house for cloudy days.

[@cskuza]

Your new place will feel just as peaceful as your cottage. All it needs is your special touch. I love the curtains, I vote for keeping them. Change as you said, is always unsettling. Wishing you peace during this transition. Thank you for taking the time to post.

[@CIMaddox]

That is such a lovely property. I love the woods surrounding it. But the interior of the tiny apartment is very pretty. I am a fan of that knotty pine paneling. I grew up with some in our home when I was a teenager. And it really gives warmth to a room. Many people paint it. You said that it felt different from your previous home. You're an artist from what I've seen of your videos. I've only found you recently. So you now have a blank slate, a clean canvas to create something beautiful in your personal life as well as your home. Savor it. It will go very quickly. I am a widow who lives alone. I've had a wonderful life but I would do it again if given a chance. Enjoy your time. You create some very beautiful things. Be well.
