Tour this Scottish Artist's House

[@apainterlyhome]

Oh, Jane, your home is as enchanting as you are. It exemplifies everything home means to me - personal and full of memories. Thank you for inviting us in; it's an honor.

[@snapdragonlife]

Thank you for watching (& commenting!) x

[@annishilcock4587]

So well said...as original, as enchanting welcoming and warm as you.Thank you.

We call them ranch style homes in the USA. We bought ours in 2003 and proceeded to knock out walls and turned the back porch into a sunroom. I love our home in the Blue Ridge foothills. Our Scottish ancestors settled here hundreds of years ago. Your home is lovely and cozy.❤ I'm a crafter and landscape artist who is looking forward to retirement, so I can play with art and plants all day.

[@snapdragonlife]

I always wondered what a ranch style house was ! Thank you Anna. X

I share so many of your views about homes Jane. As I look round my sewing room/study it’s full of makes and memories, and so is the rest of my home. Thankyou so much for sharing this tour of a real home. Xx

Thank you x

[@vanessadennett2790]

My parents have had the very same farming mug all my life, I love it to and was delighted when the poem was recited during the wassail we hosted in the orchard in February!

[@snapdragonlife]

How amazing! I did a little googling and it’s known as The Farmer’s Toast and was very popular in C19th for iron ware pottery decoration ( like this and your parents’ mug) and then became a folk music standard in C20th kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3-yXniCrNh4ra8 So very apt for a wassail.

[@jb10428]

Thank you Jane for showing us around your home and what a Home it is! I love that everything has meaning and is beautiful, just as it should be. I think a home should be a real reflection of who we are and how we live - not a show home designed by someone distant from our life x

I too love looking at peoples spaces, and your place has your own stamp on it, a house becomes a home with your own collection of loved things. Your dresser is beautiful and obviously a cherished piece and agree a porch in wild Scotland would be essential. The bowls are perfect for bulbs blooming. Love that you share all your beautiful collections. I am married to a Dr and still work part time but love getting home to my craft. Enjoy your channel, thanks for sharing.

Thank you for sharing your home with us! I struggle with the decluttering trend and find myself fighting to hold on to the things I love and that have been loved by generations before me!

[@snapdragonlife]

Thank you. I am very wary of people who are very dogmatic about decluttering - for some people I think it has a great freeing effect, but for others it makes a house much less like a ‘home’. X

Your home is lovely and unique. I have been married 50 years and we have owned seven homes and bits of them are all here. We downsized to a smaller house in retirement and I had to make hard choices as I am sentimental like you are, if I really love something it is for life. But it is nice living in a house full of everything you love because there was no room for things I was indifferent about. Thank you for the tour. You might think it odd but I loved your kitchen and the window and sink especially.

[@snapdragonlife]

Thank you. Yes I love the view from the kitchen too. The large box balls were cuttings when we arrived here.

[@KathrynParker-v7y]

Thank you for showing your home. It looks happy and comfortable. I love your plates, art and furniture that all have meaning to you and character - the farmers mug is wonderfull. And the glass birds. The pigeon makes me smile. Not much of what we have is new. I wish I had your skill and artists eye in combining everything in such a pleasing way. Love the combination of the wall colour and colours of the window frames and doors.

[@snapdragonlife]

Thank you Kathryn - the pigeon is very special - the detail is amazing on such a tiny thing. The artist is Vittorio Constantini

[@KathrynParker-v7y]

@@snapdragonlife I lived in Paris for a year when I was younger. Nannying for an English family. My Norwegian friend was an Au Pair. She was much taller than me. And had a bird, but in particular, pigeon phobia. Making our way around Paris in our time off, she would use me as a shield between her and the pigeons.

[@grwhryrpltd]

Jane, I also enjoyed your tour and had a tiny moment of exclamation when you mentioned Sarah Susanka's book, The Not So Big House - an old favorite of mine. But it's not nearly as good as one of her other books, The Not So Big Life: Making Room for What Really Matters. Clearly you don't need to read it, because it appears as though you have done just that! Thank you for sharing your treasures with us. Love the pottery, the birds, the Mary Chapin Carpenter song quote, the art and all the colors. And your apothecary dresser of drawers is quite intriguing... I'm not sure I could resist the temptation to take a peek into a drawer or two! 💗

[@snapdragonlife]

Thank you. I do love her garden book too - where she shows how you can manipulate enclosed and open spaces very easily. X

[@MsSarah32503]

What wonderful little cottage you have created out of an 80s vanilla as we call them in the states ``ranch style" home. Your vlog is timely for me because I am about to move out of my 1950s home of 25 years with all my pieces that have love and history attached to them into a tiny 1970s home less than 900 square feet. I have jettisoned all my large 2000s furniture I bought when I moved in and have only kept things that I have thrifted or have come down to me through family. Things with history that have been used and loved through the generations. I was at my new home just yesterday trying to visualize what I have in my new space and it is going to be a tight fit but I just can't imagine leaving anything out. Looking at your nooks gives me hope that I can achieve that feeling of cozy home, not tiny rooms overwhelmed by dark heavy furniture. Thank you for keeping me company while I have had my morning cup of coffee. See you in the next one.

[@snapdragonlife]

Thank you. Good luck with your move. I hope that it goes smoothly for you. J x

Hello Jane, thank you for this lovely video. Your home is gorgeous. I especially love your kitchen which is just what I would have if I had the space. The most important thing about a home is that it grows, evolves around those who live there and provides security, comfort and stability for us as we venture out into the world and return again to gather with our loved ones. You have a lot of "gathering" spaces which I as an Irish woman feel is vital. ❤Love Vera

I watch many, many house tours, and I can’t think when I last enjoyed one so much! I share all of your ideas and feelings about what home should mean, and what our homes should express to those who enter them. I, too, am very fond of several of my things that have a nick, or dent, or broken ear that’s been glued and reglued several times! I fell in love with your gorgeous wood stove, and I really wish we could use something like that, but I live in the Arizona desert in the US. We might be able to use a stove like that one night a year! 🥵 Thank you so much for sharing this look into your home, and I will enjoy catching up with your previous videos.

[@travelswithmytrauma]

I pay attention to the viewership #’s of each post on the 15 or so channels I subscribe to. I see your huge #’s on this one of your home tour. Oddly, it mimics the channels that I watch where the women artists or creators invite the viewers into their living rooms and show us pouring tea and eating cakes and talking about life’s challenges, heartbreaks, aging, being single , divorced, etc. It feels so authentic when we are invited to join you in your home and not staring at audio equipment in a pod cast. What’s my point? I’m not sure. It just struck me as interesting that we are so hungry to be invited in to another’s world. It seems to be evident in the # of views the really personal postings get.

I just happened upon your channel. Thank you so much for showing us your wonderfully eclectic house. I so agree that a home is full of things you love and have gathered over the years. They give you joy and comfort and remind you of people and times gone by, and indication of a life lived. The original house is so typical of the farm houses build for sons or retiring fathers on farms up and down Scotland - we lived in a manse , built in the large old manse glebe which looked so similar,of course it was n a farming area in Dumfries and Galloway.

[@snapdragonlife]
