“I’m wearying to escape into that glorious world, and to be always there: not seeing it dimly through tears, and yearning for it through the walls of an aching heart.” - Emily Brontë
Hello wildflowers! Welcome back to Belladonna Cottage for this extreme bedroom makeover, where I share how I transformed my plain white room into a Moody Victorian / Romantic Academia dream for less than $500. Think Mary Shelley, Stoker, Keats, Poe and the Brontë sisters, with a little Marie Antionette thrown in! In terms of aesthetic, it gives me antique cottagecore, elegant vampire vibes, and I absolutely love it! I hope you will love the transformation too...

I hope to leave my lifetime of victorian antiques to a young lady like this. I have no children, so i can find someone appreciated that my unpainted, unadulterated antiques can stay the same.
Oh how sweet! Wouldn’t it be amazing if you two soulmates would be able to meet?
That would be sweet I'm doing my chickens house in victorian them to
Very Victorian, beautiful colours plum, pink tones! I think if you can spot something in a velvet or soft fluffy fabric, or even knitted a throw across the bottom of the bed would lend a softness and allow for more subtle colour to flow through, just a suggestion, victorians loved brocades, silk, velvets,tapestry, crossword, and rich embroideries, and lace! The best part is you can change it for summer hues, winter hues, and spring, and autumn, so doesn’t have to remain static. Loved it all.
Ooh yes, I definitely need a cosy throw... mum's patchwork quilt is back in the closet now, where dirty paws can't reach it! Thanks for watching 🌹xx
Tip for picture walls…. Trace the shapes on to paper then stick the papers on the wall, so you can play around with the spaces and shapes. Then when you get a sequence you like, nail through the paper, pull the paper off and hang your pics
Excellent idea!! Would have saved me a lot of time muttering to myself and walking around 🌹xx
Your content is very underrated! Great narration and fantastic style/vibe. You deserve more views and subscribers. Keep making the home related stuff, its great stuff.
Awww, that is so kind, thank you so much 🌹xx
True!!!
Love watching your magical journey to complete the Witches Cottage it’s so whimsical and lovely❤
Thank you so much, I'm already brainstorming the next room... 🌹xx
Oh it all looks just perfect and for less than $500 you must be over the moon. I can honestly say I love nothing more than finding that special item at an Op shop, bringing it home and knowing it's safe for at least another 50 years. Looking forward to the next episode. Blessed Be 💜🖤
Oh I just can't get enough of the antique bargains here... it's like a part of Australia time forgot 🌹xx
@@theramblingrose_ I know. I live in a tiny town so have to drive to other towns for antiques, but they have the most amazing pieces and they're not insanely expensive. Give me rural/country Op shops over the city any day 😊
All those old books! My nose goes immediately to the spine when I open one. I love every single item you chose, love, including the gorgeous paint shade you chose for your walls. Belladonna is really coming together! The final reveal to the beautiful words of Keats brought tears to my eyes and joy to my soul. Thank you for sharing all you do with us.
Oh what a lovely comment, thank you so much! And yes, that poem by Keats is one of my all time favourites! Lots of love 🌹xx
What a gorgeous room! Dramatic, yet serene.
Ohh I love that description! Thank you 🌹xx
Love the narration and light background music. Very nice room. I have a touch of romanticism in my bedroom with a few antiques. It really makes my bedroom feel like a special place. Also, I just have to say you have a beautiful dog.
Awww thank you so much, I worked so hard on this one and must admit, crashed into exhaustion after I uploaded! Noah says 'woof you!' 🌹xx
This video is so magical and spellbinding. The hues of rich mauve, ballet pinks, rich browns, cornflower blue and forest greens are so lovely. It’s so beautiful! 😍 🥀 🔮 The coffee rose color is pure perfection.
And that joke about Mary Shelley and ABBA made my morning! 😂
Wow, thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed this episode - and 'spellbinding' is one of my favourite words. I think you'll enjoy the next episode I'm working on, as it has a lot more literary references and poetry - I think I'll even throw some more Shelley in 🧚♀️xx
Can't wait to see this! I'm still recovering from the heart attack and videos like this are very soothing and very calming!
Oh darling, I hope this helps! I'm sending healing energy your way 🌹xx
@theramblingrose_ thank you my friend your videos never disappoint! This one is absolutely lovely! The bedroom turned out beautiful❤
Oh my goodness! I wish you a speedy recovery 🫶🏽
@@kathleenkaleookalanismith8724 thank you very much that was very sweet!
@@autumn_ghosts_ you’re so so welcome my dear. I hope today was a better day for you!!
The room is simply delightful…almost as much as your poetic commentary. ❤
Awww what a lovely comment, thank you 🌹xx
Hello Miss Rambling Rose! You have done such a lovely job with transforming your bedroom. It looks so beautiful. I love your color palette and all the little touches you included. It's so inspiring. I just moved into my new home a year ago and am feeling called to make the space truly my own. I stumbled upon your channel in my quest for ideas on giving the place some charm and warmth.
You asked in the video about what room people would like to see next? I would love to see how you re-do/decorate your kitchen. The kitchen has a lot of magick in it 💜
Thank you for the terrific video!
The kitchen does indeed have a lot of magick in it, and I love that idea! Thanks for watching 🌹xx
A Boudoir to dream for!
This was well done with thought, patience and skill.
Love it, Nancy 💜🐶🔨
Thank you so much, yes, I love that you picked up on the 'patience' it took Thanks for watching 🌹xx
Joining in from NYC . Can't wait to see the transformation of your magikal Witches's Cottage ✨💫
Thanks Susan! So excited - hope you love it 🌹xx
It all came out so beautifully! So feminine, I love it. :)
Thank you so much 🌹xx
I feel like I have been holding my breath for this!!!
Ohhh I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching 🌹xx
Made for romantic sweet dreams! Absolutely gorgeous.
Absolutely 🌹xx
Yay a new video can't wait to see what you have done with your new cottage 😊
Thank you! This was such a big task and I'm so ready for a holiday now... but I'm so happy with the result 🌹xx
@@theramblingrose_ I watched your video over breakfast and I had a thought. I think it would look stunning outside that bedroom window to completely set off the colours would be a pink flowering dogwood. They have a stunning shape even when not in flower. It would look perfect. One of the most beautiful small trees. Maybe offset it nearby with a weeping cherry. Winter is the cheapest time to get them when they are bare rooted.
Love your colour scheme. The wall colour is lush and velvety. So glad you got rid of the vivid white. It all looks so beautiful.
I get antique furniture off gumtree really cheap. You just set up a detailed search on the app, and it notifies you when something is listed that matches. It's how I got my antique brass and porcelain bed for $300 (its worth a few thousand). Wardrobes are often $50 especially the antique ones. One with a style of your beautiful dresser and mirror. Stunning piece 😊
❤ You have ample space for a lady’s vanity table with a intricate lace runner, a pretty lamp, few magic potion ( perfume ) antique bottles and jars on a glass tray, couple of small ornate photo frames, a vintage handheld mirror and vintage hair brush / comb set etc. It’ll bring a romantic old charm vibes to your lovely space!
Lovely idea!! That sounds like a dream 🌹xx
Your voice reminds me of being a kid coming home from school and watching ABC kids, so soft and gentle
Awww that's wonderful - the best feeling! Thank you 💗xx
I adore the vignette with the birdcage and mirror. Oh and the fun plum door!
Aww thank you 🌹xx
Everything looks just right - not too much, not too little and that wall color is a winner. I've been working on rebuilding my cabinet of curiosities as I sold everything a few years ago, so I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with yours. Mine isn't an actual cabinet, just recessed shelving in the dining room. It's especially fun to find treasures in Nature when I walk my dog or the gift of a feather from the birds.. Love that you included your dog in your video, animals make a house feel like home. Thanks for sharing what you're doing, making a peaceful sanctuary for ourselves is especially important these days and I like to see what other ladies are creating 💚
You are so right - creating a peaceful sanctuary in your own home and garden is so needed! And, yes, Noah makes the house feel a home. Although, I'd really love for a sweet fluffy kitty to join our family one day soon 🌹xx
"Would Mary Shelley have listened to ABBA?" Ha! I tove this! I think we need some WWMSD (What Would Mary Shelley Do?) tee shirts now!
Ooh yes, I would definitely wear that shirt 🌹xx
You’ve done a lovely job! Your beautiful room truly is an enchanting world.
Thank you so much 🌹xx
This is almost exactly how i would decorate. Very lovely
Thank you so much 🌹xx
You out for yourself with a beautiful bedroom that represents you spirit.
🌹xx
Your dog is so cute, moving her eyes to follow you while staying comfy on the bed.
He's a dreamboat, isn't he? ❤xx
My 80’s childhood homes’ living room was painted almost this exact same color and I loved it! It’s so pretty!!!
Gorgeous 🌹xx
The wall color you selected for your Victorian bedroom is so beautiful!
Ooof, isn't it divine?! 🌹xx
Omg i loooove the final results. The paint color is gorgeous and all of the details and thrifted pieces are so beautiful. You have me wanting to redo my bedroom using some romantic academia and a bit of shabby chic.
You should! It's so lovely having a romantic, fancy bedroom! Thanks for watching 🌹xx
Love the new ideas you intend to add down the track I would love to see your lounge room done next. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The living room is definitely on the list - have already found some gorgeous antiques for it 🌹xx
So beautifully narrated . So calming but exciting. It gave me the urge add some whimsy to my bedroom
So glad you enjoyed it 🌹xx
Your bedroom turned out beautifully! I love the dusty rose color of the walls and the small oval picture frames.
Thank you so much, the rose colour is the best part, I think. It really makes it! Thanks for watching 🏡 xx
Veeery beautiful!
I just heard you say "poet's heart" all I would add is a quil and ink pot!
So romantic! 💜
Isn't it just? Makes me feel like a fancy little lady 🌹xx
It's the way dreamy bedroom. The beautiful ambiance you made, it's beautiful 😍😍
Wow, thank you! So glad you like it ❤xx
Lovely design, Nancy! So happy for you and Noah. Xoxo
Awww thank you Michele 🌹xx
Just lovely Nancy! That wall color is yummy!!💜
Isn't it just divine?! It's so perfect for a vintage rose 🌹xx
That wall color is so magical and feminine 😍😍 wow wow ✨
Thank you, gosh I love it too 🌹xx
Beautiful creation! I love your channel 💜
A dog on a bed is soooooooo cute❤❤❤
I totally agree 🧚♀️xx
The dried white translucent flowers you hanged upside down are called in French 'monnaie du pape'. It is said here to bring prospérité et abondance. Your bedroom is absoluty gorgeous. A real victorian feel to it.
Oh wow, I think prospérité et abondance sound delightful - yes please! Thanks for watching and enjoying the makeover 💖 xx
It's beautiful, Nancy, just like every other thing you show us on this channel. Hopefully you are warmer in this bedroom than the tiny house cottage. Well done you!!!❤
Thank you so much! Yes, it is warm and cosy in my little Victorian dream space 🌹xx
It's beautiful! I would add a vintage floral wallpaper above the plum paint if it were me.
Oh yes, that's my dream. But I am struggling to justify the expense of wallpaper in the home... honestly, it's crazy expensive ❤xx
Well....I am totally enchanted!!! Traveling back in time to such beauty warms my heart!!! I thank u!!! 💞💞🙃💞💞
Glad you enjoyed it! I do feel like I am time travelling 🌹xx
OH! I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! ABSOLUTELY EXQUISITE, SO BEAUTIFUL, THE COLOURS ARE GORGEOUS X ❤
Oh wow! Thank you so much - so glad you like it! ❤xx
Beautiful Victorian themed bedroom, the colours are just perfect. May you rest peacefully in such wonderful surroundings.
Awww, thank you! I'm so glad I managed to get that 'Victorian' aesthetic right 🌹xx
Dear friend, pls don’t shy away from “home maintenance”. It’s extremely empowering to understand how a house works and fits together all its myriad parts! Many years ago my brother came to help me build a much needed “witchy” shed. I was able to incorporate many things I had found over the years (stained glass windows, French doors, iron shelf brackets…) and that was how my lifelong love of building began. Soon I was wanting to design and build beautiful old-style gates, pergolas, and eventually this live of building led to buying an ancient house and (with help) being able to restore it over a period of many years! I am old now but still in my heart I yearn to build and make beautiful things. All from learning a little “home maintenance” from my brother. 🌸
Your finished room is just beautiful with its layered pieces and infusion of love. ❤
Thank you so much, Linda! And you are right, I won't be shy to roll up my sleeves and tackle some of the trickier tasks, I promise 🌹xx
I absolutely love this!!! The pink brownish walls are so delightful. And those frames are everything even if they were haunted haha.
Also your dog is so pretty. Loved this video 💕
Aha yes the haunted picture frames! It's always in the back of my mind when thrifting 🌹xx
Do you believe in 'happy accidents'? While the hiccup with your door was a nuisance, fate had something magnificent planned! I adore your plum door with stag hooks. A dreamy bedroom, with I hope, lots of good vibes from pre-loved/character items. I'm wondering about the Lady of Shallot print, did it make the shortlist for the bedroom wall? Thanks for sharing this gorgeous journey. Cheers, Kitty.
Ohh, the Lady of Shallot didn't quite find her place in the bedroom, but don't worry. I absolutely must display her somewhere... I'll keep thinking 🌹xx
Love all the pieces!! The chandelier is definitely the piece de resistance!!
🌹xx
Your room turned out beautiful. Your dog is also beautiful.
Awww isn't he just the sweetest floof? 🌹xx
Beautiful! I love watching your videos. It is so relaxing and soothing. You have an artist’s way of making videos. The sounds, images, and words are perfectly magical.
That is so kind of you to say. I'm glad my little 'gifts of light' feel soothing and magical ❤xx
Well done Nancy - absolutely lovely boudoir. 💜
Thank you 🌹xx
I am so enjoying watching you decorate your cottage. It reminds me of my daughter decorating her Manhattan, New York apartment. She put together her gallery wall just as you did, going with instinct and a strong sense of style. At this very moment, she’s flying to New Zealand from New York to spend Christmas with family. I intend to watch this video with her once she’s here. I just subscribed. Have a merry Christmas. 😊❤️
Oh wow! I hope you have a wonderful Christmas together! It sounds like your daughter has a great eye for style - love it! Merry Christmas to you too ❤️xx
This is so gorgeous!! ❤️❤️❤️
I love your choice of music, I feel so relaxed.
Thank you! So glad you like it ❤xx
Lovely! My mum grew honesty in our garden.
I have saved all the seeds and can't wait to see it grow 🌹xx
Looks so lovely 💐
It's just so lovely, the lady in the birdcage is just as lovely. Your description of fairies and angels using the honesty as a mirror, had me thinking, what a beautiful tattoo that would be.
Oh I love that idea! If you get that tattoo drawn up, please send it through 🌹xx
@@theramblingrose_
My 65 year old skin couldn’t handle getting a tattoo. My daughters friend years ago said she would like one with a fairy looking through a key hole, she never did, but I really liked that idea.
This is beautiful
Stunning!
To stain wood a darker colour, I use steel wool soaked in vinegar. Left for a week or two....the steel wool dissolves....leaving a liquid which creates a lovely looking natural stain....which is totally non-toxic. You can dilute it with water for a lighter stain. You can oil the wood afterwards if you want a shiny finish❤
Thanks for the info! I'll definitely try that next time ❤xx
Love Love Love ❤
Beautiful ❤
Love your style and color palette, and the Stoker reference had me!!! 🤭
Awww how wonderful, thank you for indulging my love of gothic novels 🌹xx
It is beautiful ❤😊
What a pretty picture with your sweet familiar comfy on the bed. Gorgeous bedroom💜😸
Thank you! It's the perfect witchy bedroom 🌹xx
The room is lovely, feminine and romantic. You've done a great job. But the most beautiful of all is gorgeous Noah. His beautiful colouring fits the room perfectly.
He always seems to blend into the surroundings just perfectly - like a little furry shapeshifter. Sometimes we even wear matching outfits 🌹xx
Absolutely yes great bedroom 🛏.
Recommendations from other videos I've watched when hanging picture frames, was to get paper and trace all the frames you plan to use. Then you cut them out so you have the frame templates and can tape them on the wall. That way, you can figure out a layout before you start nailing.
Great idea - thank you 🌹xx
Thank-you! 🕸
Blessings! 🤍🕸🤍❕️

Having a heavy heart 💜 I decide to makeover my entire cottage and focus turned to beauty and joy with a dash of fun and giggles x little to be spent I was to use what I already had!
Finding purpose in creating did bring miracles as my purple heart 💜 changed to ❤ x when I found your channel today it made my day! The fairies are at work for sure! Enjoy your beautiful dream space x makeovers are all about our insides ….
Awww the faeries are always at work - thank you for such a lovely comment 🌹xx
Oh Dios,que hermoso!!!!❤
Very beautiful! I think it can look even better with some fine print wallpapers or stencils above the plum walls 😉
Agreed! I am on the lookout for just the right thing 🌹xx
I love it! Very calming
Glad you like it 🌹xx
So beautiful - love your videos Nancy!
Thank you Simone! Sending hugs your way 🌹xx
Your bedroom is already looking amazing! The colour on your walls is perfect. 😍 And I love the long sleeve, black lace top you had on!!
It's actually a bodycon style dress from 'Disturbia' - it has little spiders on it! I just felt like a black lace sausage until I put the skirt on ahaha 🌹xx
LOve the way this turned out. I think a dark mauve or purple throw at the end of the bed woukd make a nice statement.
Lovely!🌹xx
Obsessed with the wall color😫 it's perfect, my all time favorite color. Everything about your style calls to me. Just lovely💜
Awww thank you! I'm in love with those shades too, of course, but I have some different ideas for the next room... watch this space! 🌹xx
absolutely gorgeous!!!
Thank you so much 🌹xx
BRILLIANT!💖

Gorgeous!!

I painted my old apartment the same color as your room. At my paint shop it was called "Stone Rose". I often see that same color when I'm watching movies. I see walls that same color. It must have been a good choice 😊😊❤❤
Definitely a good choice - I just love this colour. It makes everything look so vintage and elegant ❤xx
Love your colors you decided on! I am a retired painter and wallpaper hanger and really enjoy watching your videos! So happy I found your channel!
