- Bonjour!
YAY! I can finally share the video of the reveal of our "Cook's Cottage".
I have to be honest about having to film all of this in quite a rush and in between building works but I've done the best I can and plan to do a more detailed video of the build since 2019, but that'll have to wait until after summer.
Our first guests checked in and we're excited about having wonderful guests now in the cottage and the cabin. The cottage is almost fully booked for the summer which really surprised us as we can only show what it looks like now. It's heartwarming to know people have trusted us in turning it into something beautiful.
Thank you as always so much for your support! It really means a lot to both Olav and me. We're going to take a short building break now, enjoy the summer with our family and welcoming guests from around the world.
Let me know what you think about the cottage!
Sending love,
Marloes

I am blown away by how the cottage turned out. It is soothing to the soul and has a certain je ne sais quoi that is appealing. The tonal interior draws your eyes to the beautiful countryside views through the windows. Job well done! ❤️

Le résultat est magnifique. Un grand bravo à Olaf aussi. Vous faites un beau duo.
Merci!
What a fabulous transformation !! You are both so talented ! 💕🌷
Merci
A great job done to both of you. It’s incredible how you can put a bedroom, living space, dining, kitchen and bathroom all in that space. Good for a holiday let.
Thank you! It’s 50sqm so not even that small!
Your beautiful little Cook's cottage will make a lot of holiday makers very , very happy......all that hard work has paid off !!......I can imagine the windows wide open with the gentle breeze slowly ruffling the curtains to and fro , a tiny vase of wild flowers placed just so in the middle of the kitchen table waiting patiently for someone to notice their delicate petals appearing almost transparent in the morning sun , as it flooded the little Cook's Cottage kitchen.......sounds like the beginning of an irresistible novel ........Cherryl from Canada
Thank you! A novel I’d love to read! ✨❤️
@@FrenchCountryLife Actually I think you are writing it ,,,,a " mind novel"" , one design at a time , one placement of a brocante crock at a time , one quaint sketch on the mantle at a time ,,,,,,,,it's just not on paper , it is there for you and your guests to enjoy ,,,,,,,,,,,a novel of memories Cherryl from Canada
You and Olav did an amazing job! All your hard work and resilience and determination paid off and it’s simply beautiful! Thank you for taking all of us along on your journey and we can’t wait for more exciting things to come! Blessings to you and your family always🙏🏻
Thank you so much for being here!
Ah, so french, so chic and understated. You have created a very calming atmosphere. Thank you dear little Tigret for all your help. ❤

Wow the space before was definitely a blank slate. I hadn’t realized how much work you both put into the space until I saw this video. The result is simply warm, calming and decorated with good taste keeping in line with slow living in the country side. ❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much!
Anyone would be so lucky to stay. Amazing transformation. Well done 👍
Thanks
I’m looking for a word and it comes only the expression “WOW” 🤩 🥰 ❤
😊✨
You and Olaf can be very proud of what has been accomplished. Inspiring!
Thanks so much! We are 😊✨
Stunning.. I love everything! the fawcets in the bathroom are amazing.. it’s light and airy.. country chique well done you two 😊
Thank you
So schön, so geschmackvoll, so einladend. Ein bezauberndes Domizil.
Thank you!
Your cottage is just so perfect 😍. You and your husband are such talented people. Really enjoyed your video😊 Thank you!
Merci
It came out beautifully! I just love the color you chose for the walls. Well done!
Thanks! It’s not a color you can really choose though. The color and result are defined by the sand and lime you use, it’s a traditional sand-lime-water render but we absolutely love how it turned out and I couldn’t have done better if I had had to pick a color I think…
Absolutely gorgeous Marloes and so serene. You did indeed capture the true French farmhouse feel. So happy for you that you are now able to welcome guests.
Thank you! We are too! We’re fully enjoying having our guests around!
So beautiful! I love the clean, fresh look of the French cottages you put together. You are an excellent home decorator! Love from wine country in Northern California
Thank you
Beautiful, no doubt your guests will be delighted! I love the natural colors you've selected, so inviting :)
Thanks!
Stunning. It looks so serene. I appreciate your style. The details. The brass shower head, the brick in bathroom, rhe hooks, the wall treatment, the floors.. the muted tones, its really, really well done! Congratulations to you both. That was a ton of hard work. It always pays off in the end.
Thank you so much!
Simply elegant. A calm & peaceful retreat 😊
Thank you!
So beautiful and calming. I wish I were planning a trip to France. Your sense of style is so simple that it almost seems wrong to call it a style. It seems like it just HAPPENS, so effortlessly and with so little. But the result is stunning.
Thanks!
Lovely! So peaceful! It will be such a serene retreat for your guests!
Thanks
How lovely! You both have worked so hard to achieve your goals, well done the cottage looks beautiful , definitely a calming retreat from the hustle of daily life. Maybe something I will put on my bucket list.
Thank you so much!
Quel magnifique résultat, bravo à tous les deux !
Merci!
Congratulations Marloes and Olav! It looks beautiful! Can't wait to visit you again :)
Thank you! We’d love that!
WOW from DownUnder. It is absolutely beautiful. I could see myself living in the cute cottage. Well done guys. Keep up the good work.
Congratulations! It looks great! You are both so talented and skilled to know how to renovate this building. Love all the details of how you furnished it.
Thank you!
Wow Marloes, it's more than amazing! and it doesn't look rushed at all! May the current, and hundreds more guest feel at home and cozy! Well done! (the two of you must be wrecked! I know that feeling from running two small guesthouses)
Thank you, yes we’re taking a break now!
My favorite part is those tiles. Just a beautiful space to relax in.
Thanks
Marloes the cottage looks so stunning and inviting ❤
Thank you!
Sou da Bahia e moro em São Paulo Brasil, seu talento atravesou o atlântico e estou muito feliz com a recomendação do RUclips. Estou vendo todos seus vídeos e amando, confesso que lágrimas de alegria rolaram, com o retorno de seu gato 🐈. Eu tenho 2 🐈🐈 . Eu desejo a você e sua família, saúde, benção e vida longa. Obrigada 🌸.
Thank you!
Amazing and so inspiring ❤ Love from Croatia!
Thanks!
lots of attention to detail, the finished product is just dreamy...sometimes I wonder if the previous owners, or family of the previous owners who spent time there in the past would recognize the house today. I am sure they would be happy to know that there are people who appreciate the property and are taking excellent care of it!
So beautiful! Perfectly appointed, excellent color scheme.
Thank you
Completely and utterly stunning ❤❤❤
Merci!
Very impressive! Olav's craftsmanship, your finishing and decorating, really great work.
I keep being more and more amazed by what he’s capable of. It’s not easy to translate vision and ideas into something that actually looks like you had imagined. He’s the best! (And I’m not just saying that because I’m his wife 😊)
@@FrenchCountryLife No doubt you are justifiably a little bias but from what I can see from the video and as a retired carpenter in remodeling and construction I would say pretty darn good. He will only get even better with more experience so keep him busy! Lol, Sorry Olav, but I think you like the work, otherwise it wouldn't look so good.
@@rickgreen9936 no worries 😂
Charming and restful abode! Well done.
Merci
Stunning stunning stunning! I am SO in love with the neutral colour palette !
