I just can't believe the talents that you have. I think that it is wonderful that you aren't afraid of trying anything. You are going to enjoy it so much when you get it finished. I am so impressed.❤
The paneling looks beautiful! It looks like it was original to the house, which is the mark of a skilled DIYer. And the stripes of the wallpaper make the ceiling look taller. Such a pretty makeover!
Thank you so much! 😊 That’s such a lovely compliment-it means a lot! I’m so glad you noticed the little details like the stripes; they really do make a difference. ❤✨
That molding just takes it to the next level. Looks so good! I'm amazed at all you do and you make it look easy! I know it's a lot of work. Brava, Girl!
I think all creative people are collectors of things because we think it will or could be useful for something else. Your bedroom is so good I love what you've done ❤
Thank you! ❤ I completely agree-being a creative definitely comes with a bit of a collector’s heart! I’m so glad you love the bedroom-it’s been such a fun project! 😊
Catherine, your room is lovely! You’re correct about the gold vent standing out but it’s still a pretty vent. I love your long mirror, blanket box and side table!
Get a plain vent and Modge Podge the wall paper over it. I’ve never used the product myself but my son-in-law did all the switch plates and outlet plates in their house and they just disappeared. That was in the last big trend of wallpaper in the 80’s 90’s
Yes take some of that leftover wall paper and paste it over the air vent. Match up the lines of the paper on the wall and it will disappear on the wall..
Thanks for mentioning about rearranging your childhood bedroom! I used to get such a feeling of satisfaction from doing that as a kid… 55ish years ago ! 😊 You have done a really good job in your room. Loved seeing your cat catching a ride on the moving mirror!
Thank you so much! 😊 Rearranging as a kid was always so exciting, wasn’t it? It’s lovely to hear it brought back memories for you. And yes, the cat's are always the star of the show ❤🐾
Great tip for the wood knots 👍 I love the gold vent cover. The panelling looks phenomenal😊 That little bit extra trim definitely enhances the look. Ooh this is so not my time of the year either. I know there's people who are all about winter and dark evenings but I'm an all round spring/summer/autumn girl lol I have to keep reminding myself it's just another season to get through it 😂 The end result of the room in this video is so so lovely Katherine. I love it!!!❤
Wow, you have golden hands girl, you've done an outstanding job. It gives bijoux quaint little hotel, I expect Pierre to come serving chocolait and croissants, and pretty bouquet of dewy cabage roses 😂
Haha, I love that vision-Pierre with chocolates and croissants sounds perfect! 😂 Thank you so much for the sweet compliment, I’m so glad you like it! ❤🌸
The glamour shots at the end were great!!! The extra trim pieces did wonders for the overall look. Love the color drenching as well. Im looking to paint my whole house so thats a great tip cuz the ceiling needs to freshened up too. ❤
Thank you so much! 😊 I’m so glad you love the stripes-it’s amazing how little details can make such a big impact. I’m thrilled with how the room turned out! ❤
You might want to get some gold rub n buff and rub a bit on the silver handles on the doors. That way they can blend with the gold or brass of the vent and other metals. Love,love your fresh new bedroom. You are an amazing DIYer and love watching your videos!!!!
It looks great! I like the color changes from the pink to the darker greens and cream. I can relate to moving furniture around to refresh a room. I did it all the time when I was a teenager. I still do it even today. It drives my husband crazy.🤭
I love the transformation....your bedding pops with the green in the wallpaper....change is as good as a holiday I say....Your boudoir looks amazing !It is 18:54 and the sun is setting now in SOUTH AFRICA ....I will struggle with gloomy weather ....Child of Africa
What a beautiful job! It looks so good. I know you love the gold vent, but it is eye catching. Is that what you want? I love the green accents too! You did good! ❤
I know you have just wallpapers by the desk but do you think the left over striped wallpaper would suit it better? It could simplify the room and look elegant. I like the vent 😊. Moulding around the built in wardrobe could make it more of an elegant feature too especially with the gold doorknobs. A beautiful transformation. You are so clever!
It looks amazing!! I've been wanting to try panelling for a while now and definitely will be following your tips. Hope you're feeling proud of all your hard work ❤ I also quite like the boujee vent! Detailing to match with your panelling on the built in cupboard doors would look so nice I think! 😊
Your panelling project Definitely looks bougie, so good. Doesn’t matter if the lighting hinders, it makes it all ‘Real’ watching. The vent does stand out, but why not…it’s your home, your project and besides it says ‘Hey, here I am ‘. Thanks Catherine, really enjoy your home decor projects.
Aw Cathy, it's beautiful. What a warm, relaxing colour scheme and the added trim on the panelling really upgrades it, from plain to expensive! Yup dull here in Scotland too. First thing in the morning, on go the lamps and for past 9 days, they've remained on, all day! 😢 so depressing! Well done, you've truly made your bedroom a warm, cosy retreat! Xx
Thank you so much! ❤ I'm so glad you like the colour scheme and the trim-it really did make a difference. I can imagine how gloomy it must be in Scotland right now, so I hope your cosy space is bringing some comfort. Sending a little extra warmth your way! 😊🌟 xx
Catherine, your bedroom is so lovely!! The accent/feature wall is perfection! You’re right that the extra molding really elevates the paneling. You are so talented!! Btw, I need to finish my baseboards too! - Julie 🪚🤎
What a smashing beautiful job you've done... you have become quite the little pro.... loving that wall paper too... and the paint color, nice choices... so i would maybe wallpaper the storage doors, just for an extra bit of splash of color. and pattern... .. and leftover wall paper always makes nice drawer liner too, so pretty to open your drawers and they feel nice n fresh too. the wallpaper would go nice in the big armoire too, if youre redoing it, lights , paint and wallpaper... .. but leave the chippy furniture... its beautiful true shabby chiq as it should be... they look just fine... i promise... id paint the vent if its too bougie.. 🤣 love that word... I think it all is quite lovely... well done You. Cheeky thumbs up, always. 🤗♥ Thanks for sharing.
You do amazing work! Give that wallpaper under the vent a bit of a trim around the opening as the ragged edges can be seen. The idea of wallpapering the vent cover sound like a good solution.
I live in the Montreal area and we get the gray and the dark starts around 3ish. I decorated for Christmas and put loads of white and red lights inside out, balcony etc and love it I light it around 3. It helps the November blues. When I was a child in the 40 and 50 we had loads of snow around this time of the year which was fun and uplifting with all the white outside.
Thank you so much! 😊 I’m so glad you enjoyed the vlog-it was a lot of work, but definitely worth it! I’m thrilled you love the stripes, panelling, and bedding. ❤ 😄
The panelling looks fantastic, Catherine- well worth all the effort! Thank you for the inspiration! I always loved changing my room around when I was young - couldn’t wait for bedtime! Kind regards from Penny 🇬🇧😊💕
Success Catherine, your wall is beautiful. I like that you've put the mirror instead of the dresser it makes the room look so much bigger. Your bedroom is very nice and cozy, congratulations!
Dainty, I just finished watching the video don't remove the gold heater vent up on the wall that is gorgeous! I think you have gold knobs on your tables beside your bed that accent looks rich. I don't mean money it just gives a nice touch to the room. Very Beautiful. Love the style you did. I don't ever see myself wallpapering anything ever but you made it look so well worth trying.
What a fabulous job Catherine. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. I like the gold vent, it sort of matches your hare lamps. How mean they wouldn't refund the unopened roll of wallpaper. Jobs worth comes to mind. Snags are a swine. You don't notice them till you really notice them, ha ha. Thank you Catherine and well done. I love seeing the Pussycats too.
Thank you so much! 😊 I’m so glad you think it looks beautiful-it really means a lot! Haha, the gold vent and the hare lamps do have a little vibe going, don’t they? And yes, those snags-always sneak up when you least expect them! 😄 Thanks again, and I’m so happy you enjoyed seeing the cats too! 🐾❤
Great job. Thanks for video haven’t watched for a while as life got in the way. Very informative and great to see the panelling kit which mum has being saying we could use. I didn’t think it work for us but this has convinced me. ❤
This turned out so lovely! I do like the way the white furniture pops against the warmer white on the walls. Also, even though you didn’t plan on multiple videos for this project I’ve enjoyed it! I find the ‘perceived pace’ of hyper-short reels and TikToks a bit dizzying; it’s calming to follow along this way. (You still did so much in a far shorter time span that I could!) Enjoy your refreshed space 🤍
It looks gorgeous Catherine ,so warm and very posh!!! My sisters and I always used to move furniture around in our bedrooms but I haven’t grown out of it.i still love to refresh a room that way. Xxx
I hear you on seeing the clutter more. I've worked from home since December of 2019 and had a full craft room that I had to fit a dedicated workspace into, so everything got pushed aside. Honestly it's still a mess, but I've had difficulty making time to deal with it all. It's been overwhelming.
Your room is looking lovely.. Maybe spray paint that golden vent or cover with the wall paper..you could also paint it just like the stripey paper.. Wonderful having coffee with you this morning 💕🌴🤠
Catherine your bedroom is looking beautiful. I use wallpaper to line my drawers in my bedrooms and even in the kitchen drawers , even sideboards too. Love to you and always a pleasure to spend te with you. Love always.❤❤❤
Thank you so much! ❤ I love the idea of using wallpaper to line drawers and sideboards-such a lovely, thoughtful touch. It’s always a pleasure to have you here too, sending love right back at you! 😊❤
Well impressed Catherine with your panelling, and I love the fresh green and cream, very soothing, maybe a white vent would blend with wallpaper more? I’ll come and paint your skirting 😅 I love painting anything ! Suze 🤗🥰 x
Wow! Well done, your room looks fantastic; those wee touches have made so much difference to the panelling. Very classy and tasteful. I actually have a storey and a half bungalow myself, a boxy newbuild (30 years ago) and whilst I've added some of the character features of older houses that would be more to my taste, I can't get away with everything I'd like such as the big old radiators. So I compromised by putting radiator covers on all of mine. Not everybody's cup of tea I know, but they've worked out great for me. You're such a handy doll, you could probably make your own. I love the gold vent cover too! Xx
The elegant brass vent plate is a keeper. Hopefully, you will eventually change out all light switch plates, wall socket plates, hardwares, and air vent plates to the brass one by one throughout your beautiful home. Only a mere suggestion.
Your bedroom looks so pretty!!!! I love it!! BTW, I like the gold vent. It's a cute little accent. A neutral one might have looked like an interruption of your wallpaper pattern. 😉👍
Thank you so much! 😊 I’m so glad you love the bedroom! And yes, I completely agree-the gold vent adds a nice little touch without disrupting the wallpaper. I’m happy you noticed! 😉👍
Your wall and the wallpaper look amazing! I live in a house built in 1928...I love matte paint in my house. It does look vintage. Thanks for sharing your DIY expertise. See you next week. 😊
I love the changes! You make it seem so easy to do. I have become much more adventurous in my decor because you have inspired me. Thanks for all the tips and gems of wisdom, we all appreciate when someone shares their knowledge. … side note: my mom lives with seasonal depression and since I was very young she kept broad spectrum lights in her bedroom so she could endure the gray skies and low lights. Now that I’m older and post menopause I appreciate some supplemental light therapy 😊 🫶 love your channel 🎉 ❤
Thank you so much for your kind words! 🫶 I’m so glad to hear that you’ve become more adventurous with your decor-I love that I could inspire you! Your mom’s approach to using light therapy is such a thoughtful and practical way to cope with seasonal changes, and I’m so glad you’re also finding it helpful now. I did purchase one of those light up alarm clocks and a light box, but I find getting out first thing to walk before work helps me the most, even if the weather is poor 😊❤
I like to move my furniture around all the time! I used to joke that it was the Irish in me (I'm born and bred Canadian but my Dad's Mum came to Canada from N. Ireland) that made me do that.
Wow! Wow! Wow! Girl is there anything you can’t do? The panelling is gorgeous. I’m definitely going to give that a go. No doubt it isn’t as easy as you make it look. I would leave the vent cover and see if it bothers you. No use spending money on something that might not matter in a week or so. Then if it does, change it. You will be running out of things to do in your home… what then?
Catherine it looks amazing!!! Its soo nice to see your style and taste become more mature and boogie. The gold air vent looks great. It doesnt draw attention to it. I love the green throw cushions. Maybe a white textured throw cushion would have gone better with it then the pattern one. This was soo fun to watch. I think you should buy another cottage and redo it. And do reno videos all the time. And then then sell the place. Great business idea. ❤❤❤
Great business idea if we didn't have a property crisis and shortage of labourers here in Ireland, I sadly don't have the capital for that, maybe one day. Thanks so much for watching and commenting this week x
Wow Catherine the panelling is amazing and altogether the wall is so gorgeous 🤩 loving the brass vent too . The room is really coming together, I absolutely love it. Have a wonderful weekend ❤🦋
Catherine.....thank you so much for your encouraging video redos. It gave me the confidence to tackle a small scale redo. I'm very happy with the transformation. You are a gem! Keep on with your encouraging shares.❤❤
Oh, thank you so much for sharing that with me! ❤ I'm so happy to hear that my videos gave you the confidence to tackle your own project. You’re amazing for taking it on-keep going! 😊🌟
Catherine, it looks beautiful. I would certainly paint the wood chest of drawers. I don’t think any natural wood does anything for the room which is so lovely and feminine. Have you thought of wallpapering the drawer front in the stripe, now that would look fabulous. Xx
Honestly you are the DIY queen 👑 there's nothing you can't do! If i lived in Ireland, I'd want you to teach me some basic DIY as my skills are non existent!!! Panelling looks amazing, well done 😊 x
Hi Catherine, I have a sewing project idea. I work in an art supply store and people are always in search of a brush holder. The roll-up brush holders are U.S. $38. But they're so easy to make! A rectangle of fabric 12" x 36-42", good side against table, hem the edges, then fold the length 1/3 of the way up, sew side edges (not the top or opening) then sew lines up from the bottom to the opening. These are pockets for brushes. Attach ribbon to 1 side. Insert brushes, fold over remaing fabric, roll up then tie ribbon around to secure.
Hey, in one of the sewing compilation videos, I have a project similar to what you described but for make up brushes and I used an old towel, if you head to the sewing playlist you can find it x
I did the same with regards to my blocked off fireplace vent. I got brass colour and instantly I didn't like it against the neutral colour. I replaced it with a plaster type vent that can be painted to blend in with the wall. It looks so much better already.
IMPRESSIVE PANELING 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 And truly lovely wallpaper upgrade 🤗. Something to consider: both the pink cabinet by the door and the wood chest of drawers are pushed into their respective corners. Were you to center them on the wall or even bring them up to the door moldings, the light walls on BOTH sides would make them pop - and the room would “feel” lighter 😉. Just a thought. -V
Girl you make cutting all those corners look super easy. It still breaks my brain
haha, lots of practice x
I just can't believe the talents that you have. I think that it is wonderful that you aren't afraid of trying anything. You are going to enjoy it so much when you get it finished. I am so impressed.❤
Thank you so much for your kind words! That really means the world to me. ❤ It really is starting to take shape x 😊
The paneling looks beautiful! It looks like it was original to the house, which is the mark of a skilled DIYer. And the stripes of the wallpaper make the ceiling look taller. Such a pretty makeover!
Thank you so much! 😊 That’s such a lovely compliment-it means a lot! I’m so glad you noticed the little details like the stripes; they really do make a difference. ❤✨
That molding just takes it to the next level. Looks so good! I'm amazed at all you do and you make it look easy! I know it's a lot of work. Brava, Girl!
Thank you so much! 😊 It’s definitely a labour of love, but hearing this makes it all worth it. ❤✨
Miss Talented Gal: I will never get tired of you painting. The end results are always rewarding.
Thank you so much 😀
Moving the furniture around still makes our home look like a new space. It's free and if you clean / declutter? Extra credit!!!
Absolutely! Rearranging and decluttering can make such a difference-it’s like a fresh start without spending a penny. Extra credit, indeed! 😊✨
absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! You knocked it out of the park Lil Lady!!!
I think all creative people are collectors of things because we think it will or could be useful for something else.
Your bedroom is so good I love what you've done ❤
Thank you! ❤ I completely agree-being a creative definitely comes with a bit of a collector’s heart! I’m so glad you love the bedroom-it’s been such a fun project! 😊
@DaintyDiaries it's lovely.
Catherine, your room is lovely! You’re correct about the gold vent standing out but it’s still a pretty vent. I love your long mirror, blanket box and side table!
Love your new room, the walls,, the bedding! You do a great job 😊
Thank you so much! 😊 I’m thrilled you love it-it’s been such a rewarding project. ❤
Your videos are a breath of fresh air, thank you Catherine!
That means a lot, thank. you xxxx
Get a plain vent and Modge Podge the wall paper over it. I’ve never used the product myself but my son-in-law did all the switch plates and outlet plates in their house and they just disappeared. That was in the last big trend of wallpaper in the 80’s 90’s
I did this with a mirror... wallpaper on wood ...worked out great... And your room looks amazing great job 👍 colour is clean fresh and bright ..
Yes take some of that leftover wall paper and paste it over the air vent. Match up the lines of the paper on the wall and it will disappear on the wall..
That's a very clever idea. 👍

Thanks for mentioning about rearranging your childhood bedroom! I used to get such a feeling of satisfaction from doing that as a kid… 55ish years ago ! 😊 You have done a really good job in your room. Loved seeing your cat catching a ride on the moving mirror!
Thank you so much! 😊 Rearranging as a kid was always so exciting, wasn’t it? It’s lovely to hear it brought back memories for you. And yes, the cat's are always the star of the show ❤🐾
I love that you went with this color and stipes. the cat riding on the mirror was too cute. you look great.
haha, she loves to get under my toes when I am doing anything the house x
Great tip for the wood knots 👍
I love the gold vent cover.
The panelling looks phenomenal😊
That little bit extra trim definitely enhances the look.
Ooh this is so not my time of the year either.
I know there's people who are all about winter and dark evenings but I'm an all round spring/summer/autumn girl lol I have to keep reminding myself it's just another season to get through it 😂
The end result of the room in this video is so so lovely Katherine. I love it!!!❤
Aw thank you for the lovely comment 🥰
@DaintyDiaries You're so welcome 😊
You did an ace job!!
Wow, you have golden hands girl, you've done an outstanding job. It gives bijoux quaint little hotel, I expect Pierre to come serving chocolait and croissants, and pretty bouquet of dewy cabage roses 😂
Haha, I love that vision-Pierre with chocolates and croissants sounds perfect! 😂 Thank you so much for the sweet compliment, I’m so glad you like it! ❤🌸

Beautiful job Catherine 👏
Love the stripes, great makeover. You are so right, attention to details make all the difference. I love this updated bedroom.
Thank you so much! 😊 I’m so glad you love the stripes-it’s amazing how little details can make such a big impact. I’m thrilled with how the room turned out! ❤
It looks fabulous . The panelling and wallpaper makes such a statement behind the bed.
Well done.
Thanks so much! 😊
Looks amazing, love the rearranged style. I think another door hinge in the middle of the storage nuc door would help keep them in place.
Well done, it's lovely. A real boutique bedroom. And relax!
Thank you! 😊 glad you like it x
You might want to get some gold rub n buff and rub a bit on the silver handles on the doors. That way they can blend with the gold or brass of the vent and other metals. Love,love your fresh new bedroom. You are an amazing DIYer and love watching your videos!!!!

I love your chatty cooking video and also the Advent wreath❤
Loved it. Worth the wait for part 3!! You go girl. Inspirational ❤
It looks adorable 😍 you could paint the vent the same colour as the paneling ❤
I love the transformation....your bedding pops with the green in the wallpaper....change is as good as a holiday I say....Your boudoir looks amazing !It is 18:54 and the sun is setting now in SOUTH AFRICA ....I will struggle with gloomy weather ....Child of Africa
Great job Catherine. Your videos are very relaxing. Room is so gorgeous. Viewing from USA...Virginia
What a beautiful job! It looks so good. I know you love the gold vent, but it is eye catching. Is that what you want? I love the green accents too! You did good! ❤
Catherine, it's all come together so beautifully! 😄 Well done!! 🌺☺️
Thanks so much! 😊
I love and appreciate all your advice. You are the goddess of home decor and perking up a space.
Your so kind! Thank you x
Stunning! I am in LOVE with the paneling and colors! ♥️

I hear you about the weather, Catherine! 😅 We have to search for those little spots of blue sky breaking through! Great video, thank you!
Thanks so much! 😊 so true, this was was lovely and sunny but cold, they are my favourite days x
Dainty, I just finished watching the video don't remove the gold heater vent up on the wall that is gorgeous! I think you have gold knobs on your tables beside your bed that accent looks rich. I don't mean money it just gives a nice touch to the room. Very Beautiful. Love the style you did. I don't ever see myself wallpapering anything ever but you made it look so well worth trying.

Brilliant video loving the panelling and wallpaper great job Catherine thanx for sharing this with us Sue
Thanks for watching Sue x
I quite like the vent I think it would be noticeable no matter what the colour and the gold adds a bit bling which fits quite well 😊
Only so much time in the day, dear Catherine. 😊 Your room is looking lovely! 🤗😍 Well done!! 💪😊💚
Great job. Thanks for video haven’t watched for a while as life got in the way. Very informative and great to see the panelling kit which mum has being saying we could use. I didn’t think it work for us but this has convinced me. ❤

Thanks so much x
I love your choice of colors and the paneling is amazing. You are wonderful! I love everything in your house (and the garden as well)!
Your so kind! Thank you xxxx
Like the new furniture arrangement.
What a cute room. We only have squares and rectangular mostly in Western Australia.
It looks gorgeous Catherine ,so warm and very posh!!! My sisters and I always used to move furniture around in our bedrooms but I haven’t grown out of it.i still love to refresh a room that way. Xxx
Thank you so much! 😊 It’s so fun to move furniture around, isn't it? I love that you're still doing it-it’s such a great way to refresh a space! Xxx
The bedroom looks absolutely beautiful! Great job 😊❤️
Thank you!! 😊
Lovely job. Here in 🇨🇦 same dull day and just wet enough to activate allergies.
Random rain makes you want to stay in.
I hear you on seeing the clutter more. I've worked from home since December of 2019 and had a full craft room that I had to fit a dedicated workspace into, so everything got pushed aside. Honestly it's still a mess, but I've had difficulty making time to deal with it all. It's been overwhelming.
It's simply lovely! Well done. The extra strip of crown wood really did make a big difference! Good call.
Your room is looking lovely..
Maybe spray paint that golden vent or cover with the wall paper..you could also paint it just like the stripey paper..
Wonderful having coffee with you this morning 💕🌴🤠
I love your rabbit lamps.
Thanks! I got them in The Range a few years ago. x
Everything looks so lovely and fresh! Great job!
Your so kind, thank you xxx

Great job Catherine. It looks lovely ☺️
Thanks so much Janet! 😊
Wow! Well done, your room looks fantastic; those wee touches have made so much difference to the panelling. Very classy and tasteful. I actually have a storey and a half bungalow myself, a boxy newbuild (30 years ago) and whilst I've added some of the character features of older houses that would be more to my taste, I can't get away with everything I'd like such as the big old radiators. So I compromised by putting radiator covers on all of mine. Not everybody's cup of tea I know, but they've worked out great for me. You're such a handy doll, you could probably make your own. I love the gold vent cover too! Xx
Great job. The room looks beautiful. 😊
Wow! The final result looks really lovely and so profesional! Well done! x
Thanks so much 😊 I really appreciate that x
The elegant brass vent plate is a keeper.
Hopefully, you will eventually change out all light switch plates, wall socket plates, hardwares, and air vent plates to the brass one by one throughout your beautiful home. Only a mere suggestion.
Your bedroom looks so pretty!!!! I love it!! BTW, I like the gold vent. It's a cute little accent. A neutral one might have looked like an interruption of your wallpaper pattern.
😉👍
Thank you so much! 😊 I’m so glad you love the bedroom! And yes, I completely agree-the gold vent adds a nice little touch without disrupting the wallpaper. I’m happy you noticed! 😉👍
I’m inspired to try molding in my bedroom. It looks lovely!
Catherine your taste in decor is Absolutely STUNNING well done you , I love it xxx❤️😘
Aww, thank you so much! ❤️ I’m so happy you love it-your words mean the world to me! 😊😘 Xxx
Your wall and the wallpaper look amazing! I live in a house built in 1928...I love matte paint in my house. It does look vintage. Thanks for sharing your DIY expertise. See you next week. 😊
I'm from Edinburgh Scotland and yes I sympathise as obviously we're like you guys in Ireland with grey days what feels like an eternity and a day 😢❤
I love what you have done to your room, I really appreciate your videos 👍
Thanks so much, that's so kind x
Love, love your bedroom makeover.
Girlie, that paneling is looking super beautiful, and that color goes so well with the wallpaper....such a beautiful makeover on ur bedroom 🫶
Aww, thank you so much! 🫶 I’m so happy you love the paneling and the colours-it really came together nicely. Your kind words mean a lot! 😊❤
I love the changes! You make it seem so easy to do. I have become much more adventurous in my decor because you have inspired me. Thanks for all the tips and gems of wisdom, we all appreciate when someone shares their knowledge. … side note: my mom lives with seasonal depression and since I was very young she kept broad spectrum lights in her bedroom so she could endure the gray skies and low lights. Now that I’m older and post menopause I appreciate some supplemental light therapy 😊 🫶 love your channel 🎉 ❤
Thank you so much for your kind words! 🫶 I’m so glad to hear that you’ve become more adventurous with your decor-I love that I could inspire you! Your mom’s approach to using light therapy is such a thoughtful and practical way to cope with seasonal changes, and I’m so glad you’re also finding it helpful now.
I did purchase one of those light up alarm clocks and a light box, but I find getting out first thing to walk before work helps me the most, even if the weather is poor 😊❤
Loved this series of vlogs and your panelling are fab as is the wallpaper too.
Yay, thank you! happy you enjoyed the videos x
I like to move my furniture around all the time! I used to joke that it was the Irish in me (I'm born and bred Canadian but my Dad's Mum came to Canada from N. Ireland) that made me do that.
Wow! Wow! Wow! Girl is there anything you can’t do? The panelling is gorgeous. I’m definitely going to give that a go. No doubt it isn’t as easy as you make it look. I would leave the vent cover and see if it bothers you. No use spending money on something that might not matter in a week or so. Then if it does, change it. You will be running out of things to do in your home… what then?
Catherine it looks amazing!!!
Its soo nice to see your style and taste become more mature and boogie. The gold air vent looks great. It doesnt draw attention to it.
I love the green throw cushions. Maybe a white textured throw cushion would have gone better with it then the pattern one. This was soo fun to watch.
I think you should buy another cottage and redo it. And do reno videos all the time. And then then sell the place. Great business idea. ❤❤❤
Great business idea if we didn't have a property crisis and shortage of labourers here in Ireland, I sadly don't have the capital for that, maybe one day. Thanks so much for watching and commenting this week x
Wow Catherine the panelling is amazing and altogether the wall is so gorgeous 🤩 loving the brass vent too .
The room is really coming together, I absolutely love it. Have a wonderful weekend ❤🦋
Catherine.....thank you so much for your encouraging video redos. It gave me the confidence to tackle a small scale redo. I'm very happy with the transformation. You are a gem! Keep on with your encouraging shares.❤❤
Oh, thank you so much for sharing that with me! ❤ I'm so happy to hear that my videos gave you the confidence to tackle your own project. You’re amazing for taking it on-keep going! 😊🌟
Wow, can't wait getting on watching, dear Catherine.❤How skilled you are, I'm i.pressed. The wall will look gorgeous and classy, indeed.👏
Hope you like it! Thanks for watching x
I like the gold vent!
Catherine, it looks beautiful. I would certainly paint the wood chest of drawers. I don’t think any natural wood does anything for the room which is so lovely and feminine. Have you thought of wallpapering the drawer front in the stripe, now that would look fabulous. Xx
Honestly you are the DIY queen 👑 there's nothing you can't do! If i lived in Ireland, I'd want you to teach me some basic DIY as my skills are non existent!!! Panelling looks amazing, well done 😊 x
Thank you so much! 👑 That’s such a lovely compliment-I’m so glad you think the panelling looks amazing! 😊
Hi Catherine, I have a sewing project idea. I work in an art supply store and people are always in search of a brush holder. The roll-up brush holders are U.S. $38. But they're so easy to make! A rectangle of fabric 12" x 36-42", good side against table, hem the edges, then fold the length 1/3 of the way up, sew side edges (not the top or opening) then sew lines up from the bottom to the opening. These are pockets for brushes. Attach ribbon to 1 side. Insert brushes, fold over remaing fabric, roll up then tie ribbon around to secure.
Hey, in one of the sewing compilation videos, I have a project similar to what you described but for make up brushes and I used an old towel, if you head to the sewing playlist you can find it x
@DaintyDiaries oh ok, will do. I did try to look before submitting, but I missed it. But I love your show! 🥰
I did the same with regards to my blocked off fireplace vent. I got brass colour and instantly I didn't like it against the neutral colour. I replaced it with a plaster type vent that can be painted to blend in with the wall. It looks so much better already.
IMPRESSIVE PANELING 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 And truly lovely wallpaper upgrade 🤗. Something to consider: both the pink cabinet by the door and the wood chest of drawers are pushed into their respective corners. Were you to center them on the wall or even bring them up to the door moldings, the light walls on BOTH sides would make them pop - and the room would “feel” lighter 😉. Just a thought. -V
