Great minds think alike, Anne! 😊 We actually bought a dehumidifier, and it’s amazing how much water it collects-definitely helping with the damp in the meantime. Thanks for the suggestion!

Thank you so much, Anne! 😊 We feel incredibly lucky to have found this little slice of paradise. Benji’s definitely settled in and made it his own already! 🐾 So glad you can share in our excitement-sending hugs from our cosy cottage! Xxx

@ hugs and warm wishes to you all xxx

Thank you, Cynthia! 😊 You’re absolutely right-it’s a big expense but getting the pros in to handle it would definitely put our minds at ease. With so much to sort out after the move, one less major project would be a relief! So glad you like the cabinetry too-really appreciate the kind words!

Such a good way to look at it, Murial! 😊 Getting the pros in means we get the job done right and pick up some valuable tips along the way-it’s like an investment in both the house and our DIY skills! Thanks for the perspective! 😁🤗🥰

Thank you for the honest feedback, Gloria! 😊 I’ll keep it in mind and work on getting to the point a bit quicker in future videos. Really appreciate you taking the time to share this-I’m always looking to improve!

Thank you so much, Nicola! 😊 So glad you like the wardrobes-the grey doors have definitely grown on us too! And Benji will be thrilled to hear he has a fan-he is quite the handsome boy, isn’t he? 🐾❤️ Appreciate the kind words!

Thanks for the question! 😊 We actually looked into that option, but with the way property sales and purchases work here, most people need to sell their current home to fund the new one. It would’ve been ideal to have a bit of overlap, but the same-day handover is just the way it worked out! Definitely made for a hectic moving day!

Thanks, Tom! 😊 Bringing in the professionals really does seem like the best way to put our minds at ease. Appreciate the encouragement!

Thank you for sharing that, Charm! 😊 We feel the same about the natural beauty of these old stone walls-they really have so much character. We’re definitely leaning towards bringing in a professional to restore them properly. It’s true, the expertise is worth the cost, especially when it comes to something that will last for years. Appreciate the insight!

Thank you, Max! 😊 So glad you’re liking the wardrobes-they really do fit the space nicely, and we’re excited to add some finishing touches to make them our own. And yes, it seems like the consensus is definitely leaning towards getting the pros in for the gable end wall. Watching them work will be a great learning experience! Benji sends a big tail wag your way! 🐾😁

Thanks so much for the thoughtful comment! 😊 You’re absolutely right-thinking about the future and accessibility is important. We’re actually leaning towards replacing the spiral staircase in the living room with something a bit more practical. Appreciate the good wishes, and we’re excited to make this place a long-term home!

@ I’ve subscribed and look forward to your future videos :)

@@AmsNl2BcnEs Thank you so much for subscribing! 😊 We’re thrilled to have you along for the journey and look forward to sharing many more updates with you!

Glad to know it’s appreciated. Always nice to bring a bit of home into the videos! 😊

Thank you, Ellie! 😊 You’re absolutely right-the cottage is definitely worth the investment, and getting it done properly will give us that peace of mind over winter. We can already picture the log fire crackling away, helping the walls dry out from the inside! So glad you like the wardrobe doors too-they’re coming together nicely! 👏

Thanks so much, Julie! 😊 Thrilled you found our channel and are enjoying it! Your thatched cottage in Kent sounds amazing-I can totally relate to managing beams and low ceilings! 😂 And I hadn’t even considered the challenge of fitting a copper bath through the door-now you’ve got me thinking! 😱 Fingers crossed you find one that works. Take care, and we’re so happy to have you along for the journey! 🛁✨😊

Thank you, Heather! 😊 So glad you like the color choice-Highland style is exactly what we’re aiming for! It’ll be ‘braw in oor wee butt ‘n’ ben’ indeed (even with a few extra rooms!). Thrilled you’re enjoying the videos, and Benji sends lots of love right back to you! ❤️🐾 xxx

Hi Margaret! 😊 Thank you so much for all your wonderful ideas! We actually thought about moving the spiral staircase to the back of the room, but there’s a massive 3-foot-thick stone wall there-it was once the dividing wall between the two cottages before they were opened up. The attic space doesn’t extend that far, so moving the staircase would mean knocking through that wall and extending the upstairs. Even then, we’d face a big step up and limited ceiling height because the neighboring cottage was on a different level. But who knows-maybe it’s something we could consider down the road as we figure out the best use of the space. And Benji sends his love too! 🐾❤️ Thanks again for the inspiration!

You are both very creative I’m sure you will do something magical can’t wait to see what happens next x

Thanks, Miriam! 😊 We’re definitely leaning towards getting it done professionally-sometimes it’s just worth the peace of mind. Appreciate the nudge!
