    For what it’s worth-I’m a fan. A decade ago, after college and taking care of my elderly grandmother, paying hers, and mine, debts to off. One thing I kept? Subscribed to your family. Thank you.

    Great progress and ideas, Megan and Mike! Just remember that you don't need to go crazy and fill up EVERY available space; it's good to have empty spaces and room to freely walk without feeling too cramped or that you're going to bump into something/everything.

    Meghan, you are so right. Every cottage (or home in general) needs a hearth to feel complete . What a beautiful fireplace you found! Mike did an amazing job constructing the surrounding box. You guys are so skilled. You can do anything! And Meghan,, I have to say, your hair is beyond gorgeous this way.😍

    I LOVE THIS. My 1926 Wisconsin home had a fake fireplace which I loved. I was brick with mantle and hearth and the wall area above bumped out like there was a chimney behind but it only existed within the room. There was an outlet in the back of the "firebox" area to plug in a fake fire or lighting or whatever. I loved it when we lived there: nothing to clean or leak air or bugs.

  • @csr3282
    @csr3282 Год назад +8

    The tiles are so cute and original, they tie in with the wall paper. The mantels beading is lovely. An idea for inside the fireplace is an antique cast iron log burner. I'm not sure if that what their called, but they held logs in old English fireplaces that were not covered in. You could put logs on it and at xmas, put candles that run on batteries in with pine cones and foliage. That may be more to your taste of liking real not fake abit more. I'm the same. But we compromise where we have to until that right piece needs to come home..

    • @kathyadair7367

    The mantel and tiles are such a score! Cottage vibes win. I also enjoy your “think out loud/talk it into being real” process - that’s how I create in our home, too. Well done!🎉🎉🎉

    @doneill536 Год назад +11

    Hi. Hello from England. Megan, I think what you were trying to express was that you want a ‘focal point’ in the room. Also, Mike has built a (fake) chimney breast not a chimney hearth, the hearth is on the floor where you would place the fire. PS. Megan love the hair.

  • @michaelmercurio2312

    We had a wood burning fireplace in one home which we didn't use, but I did put lots of white candles in there for decor. I think they were various sizes. I love your hearth so far!

    • @Ago2904
      @Ago2904 Год назад +1

      My sister did that in a fireplace that was no longer working. Perhaps an alternative idea for Megan’s fireplace instead of the oven she‘s thinking of putting in.

  • @emilymalone2485

I hope you can maybe do October or November pies. I do understand you have a lot more renovations to go, so no worries if you can’t! We all understand, this is your home and you’d like finish as much as possible especially with the holidays coming up.

    I think you did a fabulous job, Mike. This is going to be beautiful & cozy. Megan is such a terrific decorator that between you as the builder and Megan as the creator/decorator, all bases are covered. It is going to be so cozy this Christmas. I have one of those heater that looks like an old fashioned wood stove and it runs 24/7 in my sun room all winter or as soon as I need heat out there. It is my main living space now because I craft out there. Thanks for sharing yet another dream. Y'all have a Blessed day. BTW, the heater sits on the cut out for the sink in the granite counter top in the kitchen. It isn't necessary but it adds a bit of reality. LOL.

    Once again Megan you picked amazing tiles with a great vintage fireplace that is going to look beautiful and nostalgic when completed. Love it. Also I love the new hair style as you grew your hair out. It's my favorite style you've done your hair thus far. Gives off Meg Ryan vibes or Michelle Pfeifer. Love if and it looks like you walked out of a salon paid good money to have it styled that way, while in reality I know you just naturally have those curls and it's easy maintenence for you. Which is a win to rock a hairstyle that looks salon done but not high maintenance to achieve. You are blessed with that and it looks very pretty.
    Love you all! Im proud to be a huge Knorpp family Fan!! Also shout out to Mike, as always, for his building skills! And lastly, id love to hear Peter play his guitar as i can tell hes put alot of study and practice into it and im sure hes amazing at it by now! 😊 95% of all my fav youtube families are LDS Saints and the other 5% are all Christians born into good families, entering good marriages and creating their own families of love too. Then in retirement living blessed with all they've reaped and sowed following God's ways. That is the bigger picture I see and love aside the daily life, diys, traveling etc. It's the love i love, it gives people a guide for their lives and hope too and how to succeed as you value and capable to see the worth of everyone in your family and bring in more children too to be blessed in that life too who lost their families but didnt have to live their entire lives without a family because of you and God calling you to do so. And I love you all for all of that. The Nelson family and Tannerites too. My favorite LDS families. You lift me up so often when I watch your channels. ✨️🕊🤙💖

    No surprise when I say I love it! lol. It's going to be beautiful, and can we all just imagine that fireplace around Christmas decorating time? If only we all had a 'Mike' in our houses lol. There's nothing like being curled up on the couch, with a throw blanket, in front of the hearth in the winter. Meghan, your style is so unique, decorate your home the way you love and worry about some distant possible buyers when that time comes. You're going to get so much from your cottage, it'll be worth all the blood, sweat and tears (and that's just from Mike 😂).

    I live in Europe (Holland) , in a cute little countryside cottage. In addition to our central heating we have a wood burner which we use a lot. It’s lovely…. But also very dusty. And that doesn’t always work well with the humongous bookcase, also in our living room. I am always dusting off books. Your solution makes perfect sense for a busy family.
