This is a very long video, and a lot of it is me painting… I hope it’s not too boring but I think it’s good to show the hard graft and all the phases of the Reno and redecorating! I’ll admit I pushed a little hard that day and left feeling wrecked!
Watching you painting was not boring at all, you really get stuck in and plough thru it, fair play to ya. You must be exhausted. The white makes the room nice and fresh and hopefully won't be long till you have helpers staying over. Furry hugs from us to you. ❤
Hello to your and Mr frank ❤️ thank you for the furry hugs, we’re all better now :) I’m glad the painting isn’t too boring, it feels very repetitive to watch! ❤️
The room looks great! Hope you are feeling better now. With painting, just remember you are trying to lay down a layer of paint, not stretch or get the paint to cover as much as possible. It needs to be relatively thick to cover well (obviously not so thick it runs). You did an amazing job. It looks miles better than it did before.
That room looks much better painted. That red and yellow was something else. The wall looks good, too. The blue looks like powder blue almost like the sky. I hope you feel better soon. You have been pushing g hard. Get some rest.💚
Thank you! I definitely think the room and the wall look so much better! Small progress being made at least! I’ve definitely been a little more tired lately I need to take a rest 😂 ❤️
The room looks bigger and brighter, loving the colour of the outside wall too, also make sure you are drinking plenty of fluids whilst doing the renovations, I don't think people realise how much fluid you lose whilst working even more so when outside and the sun is shining, I would take a bottle of electrolyte with you like a sports drink and try drink at least 3 litres of water when working on your house for the day, dehydration brings on flu like symptoms, headache, fluctuating temperature hot and cold, a general feeling of illness coming over you, so does exhaustion, listen to your body and don't push yourself too hard, just chip away at the project bit by bit 💛
Thank you! Definitely happy with how it turned out! And that’s actually such a good idea about a sports drink with me I wouldn’t have thought of that! I think I probably am getting dehydrated and not realizing!
Thanks so much James, I appreciate your opinion on what I do a lot you’ve been watching since almost the beginning :) a lot of work has been done recently but I feel like there’s a little timer on when I’m here at the weekends! I have to slow a little!
Your videos are never boring, always genuine reality. Hope you feel better soon, probs just a bit worn down with working and renovating a cottage. Take care of yourself
Ah I’m so glad they aren’t boring, sometimes I do wonder as it’s mostly me yapping or on fast forward 😂 I definitely think I pushed it a little hard that day but all better now ❤️
I appreciate your dedication to caffeine. A worthy cause for sure. The painting is definitely an improvement in the study. I hope it feels satisfactory having completed it. It sure must have been a looong weekend and hardly surprising you have a migraine from fumes. It will be nice to have things light in the house until you've done all the repairs and know how each room feels throughout the seasons. I hope it's not covid and that you feel much better quickly. You've been working hard. ❤
It was not boring. I find it inspiring actually. I painted my guest bathroom after watching you paint. The room looks great. Bright and clean! And I do really like your wall out front. Take care of yourself!
Your goals for the day are usually completed, good work ethics. I can't walk away from a day where I set my work goals either. Like how the blue has faded to a sky blue. Have a great day, week. Glad you're covid neg.
Thank you so much, hope you’re having a great week also! It’s so hard to leave when there’s still work to do! Thankfully was Covid neg and feeling all better again :)
Exhausted watching you doing all that painting, what possessed the previous owners to put dark red in such a small room. The white is lovely and fresh and the room looks twice the size!
Dear Aisling... Not boring at all ! And little miss Morrigan certainly did a good job as supervisor 🐾. The little room looks amazing. It's much brighter which also makes it look and feel larger than before. And the outside wall is also beautiful, the blue adds to the charm. You'll certainly need to rest after a day like that. I'm sorry you didn't feel well and I wish your Mom a speedy recovery. You're co-dependency with Morrigan comment sure brought a smile. Our pets do that to us ! Much love once more to you all 💜🌵💜🐾💜
Hi! Miss Morri really does so much hard work I don’t know where she gets the energy from! And omg the codependency is real 😂 I think I am the one with attachment issues 😂 the room and wall do look so much better now I’m so happy with how they’ve turned out! Hope you’re keeping well this week much love as always from me and the two girlies ❤️❤️
Just catching up on your videos as I’ve been super busy. The cottage is coming along lovely!. Loving the blue on the wall ❤❤ you’re doing great, hope you’re feeling better soon ❤ I had covid last year, was horrendous for 4 wks. I’m planning a visit to co mayo in the new year, so il definitely be coming to you for a visit and happy to get my hands dirty to help out with any projects you have going then. REST UP! We will all be here when you’re feeling better. Sending well wishes to your family too ❤❤ xxx
You’re so kind thank you! Thankfully all better and it wasn’t anything more than a migraine! And you definitely must visit in the new year I look so forward to it ❤️❤️❤️
Aisling Did you try putting your roller,'paint brushes,and tray into a plastic bag and tie if off?they would stay the same for a long time. You can keep doing it after any painting job!!?😊
I’m not allowed stay over yet - because I’m applying for the vacancy grant the house has to remain vacant until they approve the grant, so difficult! But I hope hoping in the next 4-8 weeks to have the thumbs up and will then start staying there :)
Ah thank you so much! The white definitely brightened it all up and just made it look a bit cleaner! It definitely isn’t my best paint work but since it’s just a temporary thing I can look past the bad patches! And I’m all better now thank you :) I had a rotten migraine but it’s gone now
Hi Anita! Ah thank you so much! Im glad you like the paint now that it’s done, it was some hard graft I was so tired after 😂 hope you’re keeping well ❤️
That would be such a dream 😂 I think probably I don’t have enough people who watch my videos, I don’t know much about who gets free stuff but I’d guess it’s people with like 100k or more or something! Ah sure I’ll get there in the end and slowly be able to afford things!
Lovely beautiful video everything looks Stunnings and I love white 🤍 makes the room look so much bigger i hope you and your mom feel better soon 💞 thanks you so much for sharing with us all 🤍🙏🏻
The room looks 100 times better now. I will be interested to see how it looks when you paint it green. Maybe the migraine was from all the paint fumes.
It could have been from the fumes, I did try have the windows etc open but there was a lot of painting done! I am in general a sufferer of migraines so it could have also just been from nothing! The room definitely looks better now I think! I can’t wait to see it green in the end but for the foreseeable it’ll be white :)
@morrigans_cottage I'm a long time sufferer of migraines too. I can get one just from a flash of light. Mine usually start with fractured vision. Usually just paracetamol will work if I take it early enough, but until it does work I can't see very well.
@@loissaedder2214 oh that sounds terrible :( my migraines are usually in my neck, head, teeth, and face 🙄 sleep is really the only thing that helps them go away but they are such a bugger
A good day's painting, you did well to get so much done, it looks much bigger all one colour. I'm sorry that you're not feeling great, hope its not covid, could it be a bit of sun stroke? Anyway take it easy for a few days Aisling, I wish you well❤
Thank you! It could have been sun stroke, or I am a sufferer of tension migraines so it could have been that from the odd angles I was holding my head to paint! Regardless I’m all better and the room got done ❤️ I hope you’re keeping well ❤️
Hi Ashling a very productive day great to see you make more use of the roallor , two simple tips when using a realer use handle where possible it takes less effort, use extra paint not less. When painting outside try fooling harasontal strokes with handle always,wash with hot water and use confort fabric conditioner on brush bristles to keep them soft and pliable.hope those tips may help kind regards Sean
Hiya Sean! Those tips are very helpful thank you! Especially the ones for cleaning I didn’t realize you can use fabric conditioner on them! As always I really appreciate your input and information!
A good trads man-tradeswoman always takes care of their tools the first thing to learn as an apprentice, in my time an untidy tradesman was known as (Ink-Ink)
I wasn't a fan of the bright blue, but the white and blue is beautiful and bright! Did I understand your cottage will have the same colors. If so, I think that will look sharp!
Thank you! The cottage will be similar! I I’m thinking white and maybe a slightly darker shade of blue but maybe it’ll be the same, I’m not 100% sure yet I think I’ll have to do some colour testers for the house!
wel done ash ,walls in white n blue trim look good, ur spare room is lookin soo much nicer ,well done young girl ,ur have to get rob n clare to come help u renovate lolllll bet there be laughin at this ,,clare b rob ???? lollllll xxxx
Thank you! Clare and Rob are wonderful! I’d love their help but I’d say they have enough on their hands! They also live quite a distance away from me sadly! Hope you’re having a great week ❤️
@@Tmp130 that’s true! Different people get different vibes off things! It might be nice for a switch up tho if I can find something a little more upbeat :)
I think I missed a video, because I don’t remember you talking about the blue color on top of your outdoor wall. It looks great! It has a kind of Mediterranean feel, you can pretend you’re on a Greek island, lol.
Room does look better - Morrigan did a really good job. Haha. Safe trip home and hope you feel better. I saw the subtitle that you didn't get what your mum has. (In Ireland do you spell Mum with a "u" or "o" like here in Canada?)
Morrigan did a fab job! Honestly she’s the hard worker lol! Here it’s a mix, I think most people spell it Mam to be honest! We’ve always been a Mom home but I think Mum would be more used generally! But definitely Mam or Ma would be used most (at least here in Dublin!)
I have thought about it but I kinda have plans for the land and would actually love some more 😂 it’s definitely an option though if I can’t get any loans to help with the projects
@@ericwynne1560 that’s very true! I’m kinda hoping if I make good friends with the local farmers they’ll eventually sell me some more land 😂 but it would help financially so it’s not something I’m totoally against doing if the time comes or the right offer sprung up!

Love the room..looks clean ..fence is great too…hard work pays off..🌸🌸
Thank you! I’m so happy with how it’s turned out! ❤️
You are such a hard worker. I'm a decade or two older than you but I don't think I had your stamina even when I was younger. You should be very proud
Thank you! My body was sore after, I definitely had a bit of a paint related hangover!
It was not boring. I find it inspiring actually. I painted my guest bathroom after watching you paint.
The room looks great. Bright and clean! And I do really like your wall out front. Take care of yourself!
I’m glad it helped motivate you to get a Bitta painting done too! It just seemed long and the same thing over and over but I’m glad it wasn’t bad!! ❤️
Your goals for the day are usually completed, good work ethics. I can't walk away from a day where I set my work goals either.
Like how the blue has faded to a sky blue. Have a great day, week. Glad you're covid neg.

Exhausted watching you doing all that painting, what possessed the previous owners to put dark red in such a small room. The white is lovely and fresh and the room looks twice the size!
I think the room was for one of the children they had , but it definitely wasn’t to my taste! It looks much better white!
you are working so hard and it is paying off
Thanks Sammy! It’s definitely some hard graft but getting there with it anyway!

Great work ashling.. The room looks bigger with the brighter colour
It definitely does! And thank you, it was some graft! I felt so unwell by the end of it I pushed a little hard!
Room looks so much bigger without the red walls closing it in. Also looks less "angry"😂
It does look less angry! I’m really happy with it now!
Would be lovely to change the window in the office room so you can look out while you’re working
The hope is to change it money depending! I got a quote for windows of 23k so it might be a one window at a time thing lol
Aisling Did you try putting your roller,'paint brushes,and tray into a plastic bag and tie if off?they would stay the same for a long time. You can keep doing it after any painting job!!?😊

You did a good job. The room and wall look really nice. What a difference!!!
Thank you! It was such hard graft so I’m glad it turned out ok!
Not at all boring Aisling, fair play to you. You will have it lovely I'm sure ❤
I’m so glad it wasn’t too boring, it was very paint heavy 😅😂
I hope you feel better very soon..youve done really good job again..well done.xxx
Thank you! It was just a migraine thankfully and only lasted a day or two ❤️ and thank you, it was some hard graft 😅
I very much liked the music you chose. Very relaxing
Ah I’m glad you like it! I think it’s relaxed but I do get the sorta sad vibe from it! ❤️
Loved this video, the white paint certainly brings that room to life. Brilliant job with the wall, love it, Anita.
Hi Anita! Ah thank you so much! Im glad you like the paint now that it’s done, it was some hard graft I was so tired after 😂 hope you’re keeping well ❤️
That color paint reminds me of the old Irish cottages in the old movies. I love it.
It is very old cottage vibe! I think once the cottage is painted, I have shutters and window boxes it’ll look very cute!
I even love it like this. It's so charming. I wish some company would send you free stuff to help you. ☹️❤@@morrigans_cottage
That would be such a dream 😂 I think probably I don’t have enough people who watch my videos, I don’t know much about who gets free stuff but I’d guess it’s people with like 100k or more or something! Ah sure I’ll get there in the end and slowly be able to afford things!
Very nice progress, it looks bright ❤
Thank you! ❤️ it’s definitely an improvement on the red and well!
Thanks
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate it and all your helpful comments on the videos

To raise some cash have you considered selling a site…your land borders the road so would be ideal,a quarter or 1/3 of an acre would be enough.👍

First comment... Whoop whoop 😁
Congrats!! I’m just about to watch yours now that I’m home from work!!
Red is the worst colour to cover especially with white.
It really was hard to cover but the paint did a pretty good job! Most of it was fully covered by the two coats
I really enjoy your channel. But please leave the covid nonsense out, it's a cold.❤
