    Your bedside table look great. As far as I know plants in a bedroom is a healthy option and can increase the oxygen level.

    I see a turtle in your painting. I think you should leave the peachy color on the cub boards. It really picks up the colors in the brick by the wood burner. That looks really pretty the way it was!

    Great vlog! I found you today and want to comment on what a great job you've done thus far. I especially enjoyed the Orca artwork in your dining room. It makes the place. The art lighting is a good complement to that area. How chic!

    That upstairs bathroom is another favorite of mines.

    Happy New Year to all from the 🇺🇸.

    Just found your videos. Enjoying the cottage makeover. In the art work in the dining room, I see a labrador frolicking in the snow. Top of head and nose facing right in upper right corner.

    I love the cranberry color or navy. The red ties in the brick. Just found your channel, love your cottage! Where are the other fireplace’s? Boarded up? If so that’s sad. I’ve dreamed of having a fireplace for years, might get my wish in 2025! The roof looks fantastic. Everything is coming along beautifully.

    I enjoyed this video so much! My goodness, Esme, I’m so impressed, you’re an old soul, for sure! I love what you’ve done to your country cottage. It has a lot of great character & personality, just like you! ✨🏠✨

    I loved this series, would love to see more. You should buy a property to flip and re-sale to document!

    Oh please put snake plant in your bedroom. It doesn’t require a lot of light and will grow slowly. It benefits you by creating oxygen for you and clearing out the air! One style grows tall and thin animals her like mine is lower and grows leaves outward!

    Beautiful bathroom. I think the mirror looks like it should be lowered a bit.

    For Americans that are watching, you can buy very reasonable temporary window shades at Home Depot or Lowe’s. 🤗

    The beams looked better before you sanded them round. Now it looks like a DIY project. Like a sloopy job 😢

    Bedroom lamp shade seams need to be turned to the wall so you don't see the seams.

    Congratulations! Your cottage is awesome. I love English country cottages, I wish I could replicated in northern Caifornia, but my home is Spanish style (which I also like). I have helped quite a few people move using my horse trailer! LOL! It works. Yes, cleaning it beforehand is a must.

    Looks like a couple of manatees with the nose of one pointing to the top right as it glides over another.

    Love this site…can’t wait til you attack the garden! Nice job and the use of your vernacular is very entertaining. Yes…at the young age of 21 it is quite the accomplishment and adventure for you to become a homeowner but it looks like you have the maturity to handle all the things that are going on in the house adventure. Love the horse Christmas treats vlog… your gang look quite happy and content…

    Looking forward to more….

    I would go with a soft muted red as it would complement the green everywhere and would definitely make the snug.
