a big mistake?? 😟 ⚒️ mountain cottage makeover (ep.4)

Місяць тому

Welcome to the Dreamwood Cottage Renovation Series!
I bought a 130 year old fixer upper victorian cottage in the rocky mountains of Colorado. This is my DIY series of turning this house into a home. In this week's episode, I make an impulse decision that might turn into a big mistake. I also have an exciting visitor and FINISH restoring my original hardwood floors.
Thanks for being here,
Lyss.

"Service to others is the rent we pay for our room on Earth." Alyssa, I don't remember how I came upon your channel, but I am sure glad I did, and I don't think it was a mere coincidence. You have to taught me that happiness depends more on our attitude and outlook rather than on our circumstances. Thank you for being like a beacon illuminating a stormy night that gives hope to ones like me lost in a stormy night. I hope to meet more like you and be a source of refreshment to them as you have been to me. Thank you so much. May the best come your way, for you earned it.

Interior Designer here to say that I absolutely LOVE the chandelier and I think your design choices are really beautiful. Watching this project unfold is so joyful. Thank you for sharing the journey with us!

@sheilaputman-mimitreasures4126 Місяць тому

I loved this video for many reasons. First, I am impressed with the care that Ben gives to you as well as the project of hanging the chandelier. Second, I am impressed with the care that you give to Ben, with the delicious looking meal. I hope the two of you are in the future with each other not only for the projects of the house, but maybe the house brought the two of you together for each other…and Third, girl, you hit the ball out of the park with the choice of the chandelier. It reminds me of the butterflies in the wallpaper, as it looks like a set of wings. ❤❤

@angelamurphy3331 Місяць тому

This was a very special video. Rio seems so at ease with Ben and there is a lovely gentle essence about him. Sending you lots of gentle Irish hugs for Easter and beyond. 🍀🍀😺😺🇮🇪🇮🇪💚💚🍀🍀

@jbyrd2789 Місяць тому

I think in the future when you have the funds. Have professionals come in and get rid of the old insulation in the attic and replace with new stuff. Just for your safety and Ben’s safety for future projects. And I loooove the chandelier you chose. And you can always use it in a different room if later down the road you decide to change it. That the fun part about decorating your own home

@fresnokidsr Місяць тому

I definitely wasn't expecting that kind of chandelier mainly because whenever I hear chandelier I think of a single hanging light fixture with crystals. When I saw that one though I thought that it would be perfect for you and that room. This may just be me but I'm liking that this video was longer. I think that yours along with a few others that I watch are perfect when they are closer to 30 minutes long. To me it just seems like it's got just enough content in it. Thank you Lyss for sharing this video with us. May you and Rio and whomever else that you have come over are having a good one. Have fun take care
