Oh, the sparkle in your eyes when you were talking about the building of the cottages! To see the desires of your heart come to fruition is such a blessing and, in turn, will be a blessing to those that will stay in your beautiful cabins😃
The view from the cottages on the hill are going to be delightful for people who stay there. Sitting outside in the evening, enjoying the warm weather, and watching lights coming on, in the surrounding houses and barns, as it gets dark would be such a wonderful way to end the day. I'm certain that you've already thought of this: a nice map of the area showing where all the resale stores are located along with favorite restaurants. Lovely and relaxing video, Mary. Thank you.
Having weather this beautiful, in early March, in Ohio is such an anomaly, we can’t help but marvel and give thanks to the One from whom this blessing comes. 🙏🏻💝
Mary I really appreciate your channel. With the struggles of the world right now it is nice to escape and enjoy something positive, food and peaceful! Thank you for that!
Always enjoy watching your videos Mary! The cottages will be beautiful in that setting! Glad they’re coming along so well!! Thank you for sharing the glorious sounds of spring! Heavenly! Love your mantle! So fresh with the incorporation of the live plants! Blessings!
Mary, thanks for taking us along for the cottages updates. I'm so excited for this new family adventure to come to fruition. I'm looking forward to seeing how you decorate them, I'm sure they'll end up being gorgeous.
Oh my gosh, my heart just melted at the sound of your birds! I live in northern Michigan and we still have quite a bit of snow, so cant wait for spring warmth and birds!
My goodness. The cottages are much larger than I envisioned. I thoroughly enjoy seeing the progress of the buildings. It’ll be such fun to watch you decorate and landscape.
Hi Everyone @WCCF ! I’m In NWI not too far away from you Mary- we still have snow on the ground and mittens on on our hands... burrrr. It’s nice to see your beautiful hills and hear the sweet tweets in your Ohio Landscapes. Thanks for sharing a peek of your sister’s greenhouse! She definitely has a Giant Green thumb her plants look so healthy ✨🤍👍
Love the progress on your cottages 😊 It’s good that you’re visiting them on a regular basis so you can see how their location differs from yours. One thing I always suggest to people building new construction is to plant trees as soon as possible and get them established. My husband and I wish we had done that after we moved our house to our property 27 years ago. It took a long time for the trees we finally planted to grow large enough for us to enjoy them. If we had planted them first, they could have been growing while we concentrated on renovating.. just a thought 😊
Love the nature you have where you live. I love to hear the spring birds singing. You are so blessed. I love the cottages and your mantle looks so fresh and spring-like. I love it.
I enjoy your videos, Mary, and look forward to watching them each week. Hoping you will restart your $200 room makeover videos again soon. The cottages look like they will be fantastic! Congratulations to you and John.
Hi Mary!!! How exciting!!! There is nothing like the peaceful sound of birds chirping on a beautiful morning! I love anything that has to do with construction!!! To be building two cozy cottages would be my dream!!! I cannot wait to watch the progress!! The view from the cottages is amazing!! So happy for you! Have a wonderful day! :)
The cottages are looking great. The view is incredible. I love to see things being built. My husband is a retired builder. I really miss seeing the homes go up and I REALLY miss the smell of freshly sawn lumber.
Thank you Mary for another beautiful video. Your mantle looks so wonderful. Thank you for sharing your birds and their lovely songs! Your updates on the cottages was so heartwarming. What a fantastic view!!! Would be such a treat to stay in one of these. Am looking torward to seeing them decorated. It will be glorious! Love to you and your amazing family. 🌷🌼🌞❤
It is fun to see how varied your mantles are - the scale and number and shape of the prints and the things you pair them with - keeps things so fresh. Love the variety of ferns and your sister's smart cat who knows a good location when he finds one! All the best with the cottages!!!
The view from The cottages is breathtaking. And the sunset! Wow is all I can say. You will have no trouble keeping those booked up solid. There will be a long waiting list I'm sure. And I know you'll have them decorated so cute. Can't wait to see the final product landscaping decor everything. God bless you in this new venture.
I think your cottages are going to be so sweet. I am originally from Hartville, Ohio but live in the Carolina's now. I love following your DIY's and your day to day's. You are really an inspiration and have a beautiful home.
Your mantle has the perfect balance and feel. I have a corner mantle above our woodstove and I struggle a bit on decorating. Love to hear the spring birds chirping.
As I have said before, I love Wednesday mornings! I usually am watching your video within the hour it's posted. It would be a dream come true for me to stay in one of your cabins. Being a native Buckeye myself, it would be an extra special treat to vacation near my hometown area.
Enjoyed hearing all the bird sounds as you shared the outdoors and your nice weather. Your cottages are a sweet and cozy design and I can't wait to see how you decorate them. Your mantle decor looks great with the ferns.
Thanks Mary. So inspiring. Some lovely ideas to get us motivated. Watching from the UK and we are still chilly and dull, no snow thankfully. So now we will look forward to decorating for the Spring. Thank you.
Your new spring makeover on your mantel is so cozy looking! I love live plants in the home. Yours are beautiful! Thanks for sharing with us your cottages and the update on them. I am so excited for you and your family! 😀😀
The cottages look absolutely great. The landscape is beautiful. I live in a more rural area as well and i thank God for that every day. I dont know what id do or feel like without the sounds and sights and smells of nature around me. Ive always wanted to visit that area of the country, so now i guess i know, if i ever get to do it, where i will want to stay. They look amazing and yall are doing a great job and so are the construction guys.
Oh, Mary…..missed that you were having cottages built! I would love to travel thru that area again. Please keep us posted here with your progress. Your Spring mantle is lovely……
That's just wonderful Mary all the new things your getting into.. truly you are blessed...I like your fern mantle decor, enjoy the snow and have a cup of tea and enjoy.
I can't wait to get off work and sit down and watch your videos. It's so relaxing and inspirational. I enjoy watching them. I look forward to watching them every week. You are awesome.
Your mantle and floor decorations are beautiful! Thanks for giving us a look at your adorable cottages! They are coming along nicely and soon you will be decorating them! We will want to watch you decorate them, of course!
Hi Mary! I live in southern Indiana and love the sound of spring! I actually closed my eyes and just listened to your clip. I think your mantle is beautiful! I have a fern themed bedroom. I took dollar tree fern stems apart and placed four large to small side by side in a large picture frame then three similar size ones in a matching frame. Green makes me happy! Thank you for sharing 🤗
The cottages are coming along g nicely. And, what a beautiful view they have. The large fern youbrought from your sisters is what we call a Macho Fern, here in Northeast Mississippi. You always have a beautifully reimagined seasonal mantle. You surely bring joy to midweek. Thanks!
Oh Mary the mantle turned out so beautiful!! I love botanical pictures!! The cottages are going to be so adorable, whoever stays in them, sure will have beautiful views to look out onto. I may only be a little over hour away BUT that doesn’t mean I will not stay a night just to enjoy those views and a donut !! haha 💐🌿🌷
Beautiful site where you have the two cottages! I can just imagine the sunset and the view as the country side turns dark as sun lowers and in the AM as the day comes awake with a slight breeze and watching the farms all wake up and the people busy tending their farms.........just a beautiful setting. I am sure it is going to be booked full. You live in a very rich cultural area and people will be so drawn to that. Just wonderful! I can't wait to watch the building ck ins. I love the smell of wood and love home building so I vote for you to show the cottages anytime you are able to and desire to..........just amazing! Have a wonderful rest of your week! Blessings
The cottages are going to beautiful. What a gorgeous view it'll be so relaxing to stay there. 😌 Love the mantel with the framed ferns you made and 🪴 too.
Oh! Your sister is lucky to have a plant room 💞 I'm going to have to put your cottage on my wish list for my sister and daughter to-do list. I used to travel that way years ago from Indiana to Maine and never stopped but always wanted to. My dad was a truckdriver and gave me tips on back roads to take to brack up the drive💞😺🙋
Loved hearing the birds. The mantle looks very pretty. Spring seems to come and go where I live. One day it’s 70 and the next it’s 30’s and snowing!🙂 I always enjoy your videos and love the updates on the cottages. Would definitely be a place I could spend some time!!
Terrific new look on your fireplace wall. It was exciting to see the progress on the cottages! They are going to be so welcoming when they are completed! I really like the green exterior! Thank you for sharing.
The cottages look fabulous! So wonderful that your subscribers will be able to enjoy them! I can’t wait to see how you and John put your stamp on them! I just know they’ll be homey and cozy! Will they come with a sweet cat to love and pet? LOL! 🏘💕🥰
The cottages are so exciting. I am enjoying the building progress. Looking forward to when you start decorating them. Thanks for the update! The mantle looks great 👍🥰🌹

I'm still smiling over your kitty cat socks. It's such a blessing for me to see how God is blessing you and John.
Having weather this beautiful, in early March, in Ohio is such an anomaly, we can’t help but marvel and give thanks to the One from whom this blessing comes. 🙏🏻💝
I love the large windows in the cottages!!!
We live in a small home, but it has larger windows and that makes all the difference!
All the birds sing, woodpeckers and Maybe a bobwhite? Lovely.
I'm beginning to realize that when the cottage construction is complete you'll be working on the decorating. So much fun for you and for us!!!
Mary I really appreciate your channel. With the struggles of the world right now it is nice to escape and enjoy something positive, food and peaceful! Thank you for that!
Always enjoy watching your videos Mary! The cottages will be beautiful in that setting! Glad they’re coming along so well!! Thank you for sharing the glorious sounds of spring! Heavenly! Love your mantle! So fresh with the incorporation of the live plants! Blessings!
I love it when the birds come back.

Birds are singing Kentucky too! And the frogs are loud! Can’t wait to dig in the dirt!
❤ the updated mantle. So excited about the cabins progress. They'll be so lovely. The view...breathtaking. 💕
Love the mantel Mary, and looking forward to your building journey......So enjoying listening to your singing birds!
Love the mantle update Mary. It looks beautiful and so spring like.
My heart yearns for sun, birdsong and spring. It shouldn't be long now.
I just love when the outside comes alive again! Thanks for sharing.

I can see it on your face & hear it in your voice how happy you are that 🌷🌷spring 🌼🌼is approaching!
The mantel looks nice. It's nice going into spring. If I lived in your house I would wish so much that fireplace was real.
As I have said before, I love Wednesday mornings! I usually am watching your video within the hour it's posted. It would be a dream come true for me to stay in one of your cabins. Being a native Buckeye myself, it would be an extra special treat to vacation near my hometown area.
I love the fern pictures. I can’t believe how big your live fern is. It’s almost like a small tree.
Enjoyed hearing all the bird sounds as you shared the outdoors and your nice weather. Your cottages are a sweet and cozy design and I can't wait to see how you decorate them. Your mantle decor looks great with the ferns.
I can imagine how beautiful the cottages Will look...a beautiful view .
