Renovating our stone cottage in Ireland & creating an off-grid homestead
Off grid cottage renovation | GOODBYE PINK!
We’re cracking on with this off grid cottage renovation this week as the sandblasters come to help restore this stone country farmhouse Ireland. We’re saying "so long!" to the salmon pink and getting back to a blank slate so we can put our own stamp on this place...
If only we could agree on what that might look like. Come and wade in on our colour choices for this old cottage, will you?

You could paint your exterior walls and windowsilss a copper brown colour, the same as in the stones behind you. And your woordwork a soft beige.
I vote white with middle blue window seals
Sage green would be lovely and will compliment you're farm and countryside good luck guys xx
Sage green would be lovely 💖!!
Well, I must be rare because I absolutely love the turquoise. It's part of the charm. However, if you must paint the color, sage would definitely go beautifully with natures setting. Looking so good you two.
Litchen green and a soft cream would look gorgeous
Colour can be added with potted flowers/lavender etc
Not sure if you’re aware but Kayvan’s Great grandmother was born in Ireland .Doing a great Job folks 👏👏
Definitely get rid of the "heroin grey". I'd go off-white.
Well my two cents which I never comment but….. I love the natural look of the house.
Surely making your cottage liveable is more important than paint colours at this stage
Team Kavan, dark slatey grey and maybe dark forest green to incorporate your daughter’s idea. Love the updates and the kinky hose 😂
Okay, why just not Paint over the Pink? I dont get it
Yes the green and cream would pop that’s would be great. Poor thing I hope it rains. That little vacuum will burn out. Glad the pink is gone but it did leave a big mess. Blessings and hugs ❤️🙏🏻❤️
Love the progress you’ve made. I love a green, sage, olive or a darker leafy green with a creamy trim. Love your always upbeat outlooks.
White 🎉
Have you thought about using your 2hp to move the wood chips and anything else not too heavy to the top field?
😂 just got to the end of the video
Grayblue walls to blend with the deepest stone colours and a palegray almost silver window sills
I'd go white, with antricite grey windowsills
About colour in your case I would go for just grey and white. It fits the house. 🍀🌹
I was thinking a sage or a olive green would look amazing
Look at the tones in the stone and bring one of them out, there are shades of brown and burnt umber in there to see once the dust is washed off. Good luck !
Sage green is a wonderful colour with stone and your landscape....if adding white look for a warm creamy colour.
cream and sage sounds nice, but white around the windows will reflect more light into the house
I think a green to fit in with your natural setting. White would be much too stark❤
Please NEVER use a ELWP without a harness as a retired senior engineer who had the responsibility to train and examine personnel to opertate elevated work platforms. These platforms can throw you out of the basket just by driving over uneven ground the whiplash effect to the basket is frightening, please be careful don't chance ignoring risk assesments. Follow all you vlogs with enjoyment love you all stay safe.
Sage and Cream would be my choice too. ❤️
Best of luck with all the renovations
More of the cheeky Honda VFR please 😂
Cream with a light sage windows etc will look beautiful in all seasons where greys whatever shades can look depressing & you guys give such happy vibes 😊
Grey for me too.....sorry.
Sage green with a white or cream.
Hi, the cottage looks so much better without the pink/turquoise 😊 always good to see progress, all that sand its like being at the beach 😅 the wall in the bedroom does look amazing so definitely a keeper who cares about the bed just buy a round one and put it in the middle! Can't wait to see more x oh nearly forgot I think cream colour and a powder blue for cills.
<3
You can have the best of both choices. Greys are cool, but can look cold, so you could go for a grayish paint that has warm tones in it. Looking at the stones of the wall behind your heads as you discussed this, there are some lovely warm but subtle greenish and terracotta tones, which would tie in with the house and surroundings,. You could go for a neutral off-white with warmish grey-green tones on the walls and picks up a darker green grey for the trim.
<3
Love you guys and all that you do! (Even if you can't spell Kevin.) I choose Green.
😂 <3
I agree with your daughter. A sage or heather green with maybe a light cream trim. This is what I was picturing before you said with she was voting for. The sills however would look great as nautral stone with a stone protectant like Osmo for stone. Great water shedding product.
Would love a natural stone. If the cills were degraded, we would be looking at natural stone as replacements. However, as they are in good condition, it would be an extreme choice to rip them out and replace. Have used Osmo wood products a lot in the past, we think they are great too!
White and sage sound great!
Green has always been a favourite and hence why I am a landscape photographer. My lounge is willow green and everything in it blends well, plus it is a warm colour.
<3
Your bedroom feature stone wall came up lovely ❤ messy job but a great result
<3
I would look around the land and find your families favourite colours like leaf green,shades of the sunset ,whatever and go with those. Snazzy but sympathetic to the land
Nice idea!
I think the white and green would be nice or grey and green, either would blend though probably the grey and green would blend best ❤😊
<3
White and sage, or maybe a slightly darker moss green to make it look like the house is rising up from the ground.
Nice!
The sand blasting looks awesome. Curious to see what colours you go with. I’m sure you two comedians will come up with something great!
<3
off-white for the walls, and Irish green for the windows/trims!
Nice!
…anything but that awful teal already there 😂 Definitely not white. Sage green for sure 👌
<3
I think either Team Kayvan: gray/black/ white or cream combo or Team Girls: sage green/creamy white/darker green combo could be beautiful. I love the idea of taking a photo, then trying the different team's color combos, playing around with where you might want to use the darker color vs. the creamy color. Good quality paint isn't cheap, so seeing it on a photo would really help you choose what appeals to your senses the best. Have fun making your choice. I so look forward to what you share each week! You’ll have no problem reaching 50K, especially as you start making noticeable progress on the cottage each week! Watching from USA Pacific Northwest! 🇺🇲
are you keeping the green bits? Thanks.
The remaining green is just on the fascia board, and this will get covered up - likely with black, same as the guttering, to blend with the slate roof.
😊😊
👍
Living in Ireland now you will have noticed traditional cottages are usually white washed and the trims a red / green Natural stone cottages trims are usually any colour of the rainbow!
