    Ladies, I lost my dip-stick many years ago via divorce court and never looked back! Love those arched mirrors and the mirror moved to the front. I envision creeping vines growing over it and cascading down onto it. Can't wait to see you make a pond with the barrel. Girl, with all your wood/building skills and creativity YOU can make a wooden gate. I have faith in you! 😉

    I subscribed a couple years ago, but for some reason, your videos never came across my feed, but one recently did and I've been binge watching them and, despite not having a yard and living in a small flat, you have inspired me! Been loving watching these videos! So inspiring! 🥰❤️

    Catherine, I adore your channel! If I lived in Ireland I’d want to be friends. You girls cracked me up with the dipstick.😂 Your creativity and attitude are infectious. I’m going through a very difficult set of circumstances presently and creativity is one of the only outlets I have that makes me feel better. Such wonderful ideas on your channel! Thank you, and greetings from Reno, Nevada, USA.

    Hello Catherine, cut the mirror even with the horizontal stile, then add another piece below it. That way it won’t be noticeable. 👍🏻👍🏻

  • @irisstormo6913
    @irisstormo6913 Год назад

    Instead of adding weight to the windows with mirror, pain the back with mirror paint. 🌺🌲🌺

  • @1961christinec
    @1961christinec Год назад +62

    Leave the gap from the mirror at the bottom of the window frame, and make window boxes for the bottom and plant with flowers

  • @bettycarey6289

    There is a spray you can use ! You spray on the back of your window and from the front side it’s a mirror! I bought mine at my local hardware store! Good luck! I love the mirrors you bought!

    Love the mirrors, really love your windows... you could put the mirror behind it fitted from top down, then where the gap is at the bottom, cover it from the outside with a window box and plant something cute in it.. Just a thought, that way no one will know that the mirror wasn';t long enough...

    Hello Catherine & Dainty Diary friends...oh... the salvage shop, was grand...lots of great finds. My sister and I visited our farmers market, which just opened up First weekend in May. Alot of mix of craft, antique & herb, flower vendors. Then went to a Garden Center with new ownership & they have an area in the back with alot of great finds but working on pricing. Thank you for sharing! Your time with Karen was alot of fun.

    Recently stumbled across your channel and I just love it….a very happy stumble! Your personality is infectious. I ordered your book and it arrived today…..it’s stunning. I started to read your take on creativity and tears instantly sprang to my eyes…..my mum passed away at Christmas and I’ve found myself painting furniture and making small changes to my home…..I guess that’s my ‘healthy distraction during tough times’. Loved this latest vlog and hope you are well Catherine x

    Loving those mirrors! The one out the front suits the space. There's Wilson's rec yard up North on the A1 to Belfast but it's a bit spendy...however, you wouldn't be too far from Hillsborough for a walk round the lake & forest...and have a spot of lunch in one of the bars 😁 Enjoy CFS 😊

    Was in the arboretum on Sunday. Am sorry now that I didn't pick up a bird bath. Another time. I did however, get a rather large bag of coffee grinds from the nice barista in the cafe - they are supposed to be great for keeping slugs at bay.

    The mirrors that you have purchased from the salvage yard are stunning. They look better together as a pair on your garden wall. I am sure that you will come up with a fab idea for the two windows purchased. You always make excellent decisions x
