From uncovering hidden treasures to tackling unexpected challenges, it’s been a journey of hard work, creativity, and lots of learning. Watch how we’re slowly transforming this neglected farm house into our dream home while embracing the ups and downs of farmhouse living.

We, Colinda, Jeroen and our 3 children Luca, Fleur, and Jules, have exchanged the Netherlands for the French countryside in August 2022. At that time, we hadn't yet purchased a house, only sold our house in the Netherlands.
In December , we finally bought our dream home, an old farmhouse in the Lot et Garonne, which could use a little love.
And now, we are busy renovating, beautifying the garden, and simply living our daily lives here in the beautiful French countryside. Because this is a very special period in our lives, and we want to show our children (later on) that they should always pursue their dreams, no matter how scary they may seem. We want to document this for the future, as memories tend to fade quickly.
And hopefully, our story will inspire you to pursue your dreams as well because after all, you only live once.

Thank you 😀
Merry Christmas, the living room is festive and serene, loved watching the demolition of the bedroom & reconstruction and all the design details accentuated well done! Best to you all in the New Year.. ps the barn roof is just crazy😮
Thank you Alexandra, for your kind words. And merry Christmas to you too.
I'm always intrigued at the pattern of the bricks behind the plaster you remove. Sometimes it looks like they could be beautiful walls on their own. To be able to wake up and hear the water from your stream must be so relaxing. Also, be careful you're kids don't join a union. They're wages will increase!!!! Jeroen on that wobbly ladder makes me so nervous. He must have some incredible balance. Your tile choice is beautiful. I think it's so cool you actually brought tile with you from the Netherlands for future products. Your renovations are outstanding. Do you not have electricity in any of the house, or just that one room? Does the holiday apartment come with the use of those little bicycles? hahaha I agree with the re-positioning of the door. I always wondered why anyone would put a door near the corner of a room. It limits your decorating. Those are going to be rather large room for bed and bath. I love that. The more space the better. I really like those satin ornaments you put on the table, especially the blue one. And your life philosophy is spot on!!!
Fortunately, we do have electricity in the rest of the house. We pulled new power wires in the bedroom but they still need to be connected to the old ones. Something jeroen can no longer do because the colors of the wires are different and he doesn't know which one to connect. 🤣
In the living room you can see how the wall looks without plaster. There they have grouted between the bricks. But we think that is too busy for the whole house.
Het wordt steeds mooier😃
Dankjewel ingrid, nog een paar dagen en dan kan je het in het echt bewonderen. 😉
@ ik ben bevoorrecht 😂
Mooooi 😍 !!!
Dankjewel.
A great video and a lot of work. I have enjoyed following your journey and I absolutely love what you have achieved with your house. Personally I prefer your lime paint colour, something you can't ever get trying to use a bought colour. The natural colour goes so well with the other finishes I wouldn't change it. I am really excited for you about the holiday cottage and I'm looking forward to seeing what you are going to be doing with it. I really like the way you narrate the videos as well, I am always really relaxed and smiling when I am watching. Have a wonderful Christmas and thank you for sharing your wonderful journey in France. Best wishes from Cape Town.🎄❤️
Thank you, for the super nice compliments. We ourselves are really very happy with the final result of our bedroom. And the lime paint color totally matches the rest, so we won't change it easily either. We will do our best with the vacation apartment. But I think it's going to be a multi-year plan. So we will probably do other things in between.
Merry christmas to you too. And see you next video. 😀
🎄🎄🎄🎄
Thanks you merry christmas to you too.
We never get all the things done we would like in the time we first thought. Just look back at the wonderful work you HAVE done. The rest is another project and you can change your ideas too at no extra effort🤣🫶😉😉👌❤ I wish you all a very happy Christmas and a New Year full of energy and good health👏👏👏👏❤
Thanks Susie for the kind words. I am very good in changing my mind. 😅 so many projects to go. But step by step. And in 10 years we are probably not even done and thats oke 🤣
Oh and ofcourse also for you an verry merry christmas and a happy New year
