🇮🇪☘Hey Irish Girl, nice work. Lovely wallpaper and bed🛏 I really like the soft and sage like greens you are incorporating in your cottage🏠 Diaries are excellent📽💻 Thank You For Sharing Your Awesome Skills.. 🍃🛠🔧🔨🍃
“The wallpaper is damaged at the bottom. Looks like I spilt tea. Probably when I was drunk. Comin’ to bed with a cup of tea. It happens….” Catherine - you crack me up! You are so funny! This video was so fun! I live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and I just got in from shovelling snow. Curled up with a cup of tea to enjoy your video and have a good laugh! Thanks! I’m looking forward to your Sunday video!
Hi Dawn, I did see on the news you had snow, it will be coming our way soon enough. I'm in Ontario southern tip of lake Huron. Wishing you an easy winter.
You are doing a lot of hard work. I'm amazed at your stamina and how you push yourself to accomplish your goal. Your beautiful fresh young face and adorable accent make me smile. You are a talented young lady, and your project is coming along nicely.
The smile on your nephew's face says it all! You're a wonderful auntie for putting off your project to help the little guy out. ❤ BTW the wall and trim looks great so far
Your nephew's costume looked great! You are a very kind auntie. I appreciate when DIY projects are shown realistically in videos. It is relatable as they always take more time and effort than expected, you change your mind, things don't work... The videos I've seen from others who just breeze through their decision making and then show the final result aren't as enjoyable. I can't wait to see how the wallpaper looks!
Oh my goodness the surprise costume project was so adorable. It’s so cool when young children have great visions and it’s so sweet that you helped make it come to life. Best part of the video. I’m looking forward to the next.
A boy needing something the day before...never lol. I can't tell you how many times my son did this to me when he was younger haha. The Earth looked great!! Looking forward to the final reveal.
I don't mind when you don't get the whole thing done in one video, these things can take time and I'm just happy to be along for the ride. Your home looks fabulous
I love it when a room renovation is multiple videos long, so please don't rush and stress yourself to get it all done in one week! Your nephew's costume was adorable, and obviously loved it. 😍
You just do the pace that works for you. We all get it. Remember this year is still you saying no if you have to or asking for help. As someone who actually enjoys house painting I like to savour and take my time . 💙the wallpaper👍🏻🇨🇦
Catherine, I admire you so much. You are hardworking, generous with your time and so talented in many areas, truly a Renaissance woman. Take care of yourself, sweetie. All my best.😊
Catherine, you're bedroom will look fabulous, I can tell. You are one busy, clever gal in big demand. I really enjoy your DIY projects . Taking wallpaper off is very satisfying as long as it comes off in big strips. A messy clear up but worth it. Your puss cats ashes box is the same as the two I have for my beloved dogs, always treasured . Thank you Catherine, look forward to the next installment.
Thank you so much for your kind words! 😊 I’m really excited to see how the bedroom turns out-fingers crossed it all comes together beautifully. I totally agree, taking wallpaper off is so satisfying when it peels off in big strips, even if the clean-up is a bit of a chore! It’s nice to know you have treasured boxes for your dogs, too; it’s such a special way to keep their memory. I’m so glad you enjoy the DIY projects, next video is up Sunday x ❤
I have to share this little story with you and the viewers I think it will bring a smile to you. So my son and I are huge TH-cam watchers every once in a while will catch up on who’s doing what. So the other day he said, hey mom do you still watch that dainty dress girl 👧 I chuckled and said you mean Dainty Dress Diaries? Yep he said what is she doing these days 😁😆😁 so I brought him up to speed, I told him about the overhead range you just replaced and what a great job you had done. Love your channel Catherine 🥰
Beautiful start. Don't worry about not getting it all done in one video. It's real and helps to know that it takes others a bit longer at times too. You do amazing work. Keep smiling.
I love the color green in your clothing. Love the green in the wallpaper. I used to hang wall paper in my home,years ago. At 72 I think it's too much. You know the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak!!love all your content. Will be watching Sunday. Take care.❤
I love the fact you are willing to help others with projects and let your's wait, a true sign of love and friendship, looking forward to seeing nan's bedroom finished and your own bedroom room progress, ❤
You’re a busy busy wee girl 🙂 you’re a wee treasure to have and I am sure your family will agree. You have great taste in everything, can’t wait to see what you bedroom looks like finished xx❤
Aw, you're such a good Auntie! He looked so pleased with his astronaut and earth costume. The bedroom makeover is well on its way. You got a lot done, and it was the least desirable stuff (moving furniture, cleaning, removing wallpaper, cleaning up the wallpaper explosion). Your new wallpaper is so pretty! Btw, we love when you waffle....you say the funniest things when waffling.
How exciting ❤❤ Can’t wait to see the final result! I totally agree about the green kick… I have been loving green in the house and also lots of earthy tones. As you say, it’s bringing the outside inside and does miles of good in these gray months 😊
Can't wait to see it all done. LOVING the wallpaper as green is my fav colour! Thank god I'm not the only one who tackles a DIY job, then life gets in the way! Xx
Your videos bring me so much joy, I often watch while I’m getting my little one to sleep because it is so soothing it doesn’t disturb him. I recently bought my first home and are in the process of decorating it. We have very similar taste and I’ve realised that the wallpaper on your fireplace is the same as in my baby boys nursery and the wallpaper you were stripping in this video is the same that I’ve chosen for my bedroom! Good old Laura Ashley 😊 can’t wait to see how your bedroom turns out and I love the new paper ❤
Your wall is looking great! I have a huge industrial wallpaper steamer- it slobbers hot & drippy all over everything and groans like a monster, but it does a great job. I bought it when I bought my home- the walls were so covered in paper that it was as thick as cardboard! I got it all off and swore I’d never paper anything so I wouldn’t have to do that again…. But when you papered your bedroom nook ,that paper is so pretty it got me to thinking seriously of it again. You are so sweet to make an earth “vest” for your nephew! I love it! He is so sweet ! We oblige those we care for don’t we?!!!🥰 I enjoy your style so much & you’ve inspired me to do so many different things from sewing projects, painting, cleaning, Decluttering, reorganizing, redecorating, gardening, building…. Your influence is all over my home!💕 Thank you for putting out such good content! You do a great job at it, I can’t imagine how much work goes into one video. I recently videotaped some work for an art class and I just couldn’t believe the amount to time to edit alone! I “knew” it was a lot of work before but now I know even more but I still don’t know the half!!!
Aw editing takes soooooo long, and its quite expensive to get someone else to do it, Iv mastered an editing routine but a 30 minute video can still take anywhere from 4 - 7 hours ( not all in one sitting )
Very ambitious. I can relate, having just repainted and tidied up my snug so I could have a fresh comfy spot to do my Christmas wrapping. And, yes, when I caulked the baseboard (skirting board), I had to use two hands and make a face to get the caulk out of the gun. I feel so validated to see your dust bunnies! My daughter recently bought me a robot vacuum for a big birthday. I was skeptical, but I LOVE it. It even goes under the bed :) My cats are fascinated when I move things around. A cat tip for your weeing girl. My anxious girl had the same problem and I figured out that she was overstimulated by catnip. When I stopped giving it to her, it cured the random weeing. I don't know if you use catnip, but it might be worth considering if you do. Such a lovely big room with the high ceiling. What you call a dormer bungalow, I call a story-and-a-half (or maybe two-thirds). That's what I have too and I love my bedroom, which I re-did not long ago. Do you know if that was a strippable paper? A vinegar and hot water solution in a spray bottle also works for stripping wallpaper, but not as slick as your steamer. Do you have Benjamin Moore paint in Ireland? My current obsession is with Simply White, and it's taking over my house. A motherly bit of love for you... Make sure Ricky Martin isn't so loud that you can't hear a normal conversation and that you don't have the earbuds in for more than twenty minutes at a time, for the sake of your hearing. Another tip is to alternate ears so you can do twenty minutes on each. Head phones are safer. xo Art Attack! My girls loved watching that show. I hope your nephew's teacher isn't subscribed and watching Auntie Catherine make his costume if it was supposed to be his homework. Lucky loved boy :) Seeing the DIY process in diary form is not annoying, wheels off is just fine with me 💜
Absolutely love your new wallpaper really looking forward to seeing your next steps and I love how you show the step by step process. I'd love you as an Auntie!
Hi Catherine! Love the wallpaper. I understand the fascination with green. I want to green up my house as well🤩I thought you did a great last minute earth for Jack's costume. He looked fab ☺️looking forward to more of the room makeover
You are such a blessing to your family (& us)!! Your wonderful humor makes you adorable! Also Loved your bedroom refresh & looking forward to the next video. But so glad you revealed the pretty wallpaper & didn’t do a cliffhanger to keep us in suspense lol - Julie 😁💛
I'm also on a 'green buzz' - we just did a gentle floral wallpaper 1/3 up the living room wall & left (antique cream - yup, I copied off you the other year & used it in living room & stairs) top bit blank (1940's style?) with green dado rail. I've now echoed the green half way up opposite (window) wall, with dado rail. I got the green as a Dulux colour match to the sage-ish green in the wallpaper background. It all looks well smart! Thank you for the inspiration 😊❤🎉
Great varied, I know unintentional, video. You are a pro at removing wallpaper 👏 you made it look easy 😊 Wonderful costume addition for your nephew. He's so lucky to have you. Well done too with the bed assembly 👏 Til next time 👋
Thank you so much! Haha, the wallpaper removal *looked* easy because I skipped showing the sweaty struggle bits! 😉 I’m glad you enjoyed the mix of projects in the video. It was fun helping out with my nephew’s costume-he’s such a character, and it made the effort so worth it. And as for the bed assembly… let’s just say there was a lot of tea involved to stay calm, haha! Thanks again for your kind words-til next time! 👋😊
I love the DYI Diary idea. I wish all TH-camrs should use this method. It’s more realistic and lowers the expectation for you and for ourselves as well. Please keep it up! Love from Indiana!
Good job removing wall paper. Oh my goodness what an adorable and clever costume design. I'm proud of you Aunt Catherine. Bed assembly didn't you need a battery operated tool? ha ha I would. Love the wallpaper. Nice soft green stripe is classic and white wood will be beautiful. Enjoyed the video. Have a great weekend.
Hi Catherine, what a wonderful video! Love how you always keep it real. Your bedroom is going to look beautiful. Great job on your nephew's costume. Thank you for sharing, take really good care! Lots of love Kathy ❤❤(Ontario, Canada)
I am only 7 minutes in and wow! you are what i like to call a "sparkly person". very genuine: loved the sweeping of the dust bunnies! You couldn't know how much i needed this respite from the madness. thank you.
Hi Catherine, as usual you are a busy wee girl and just so kind at doing other lovely things for other people bless you luv. Look forward to seeing how your bedroom turns out . 💞🙋🏻♀️ Patricia xx.
Looking forward to watching the transformation of your bedroom. Boys. Always wait to the last minutes, but he was very happy. You're a good auntie. Just thought I'd let you know. I'm from Santa Barbara, California and I love all your videos
Your nephew’s costume turned out great ! Loving the panelling , can’t wait to see the next video and wallpaper up . Have a wonderful weekend Catherine ❤🦋
You're gradually getting a professional, dear Catherine. It looks so much better with the panels.👌Take my respect for your skills. 🙏It will be beautiful in the end, I'm sure.❤ Thumb up for the wallpaper.👍🙋♀️
Thank you so much for your kind words and support! 🙏 I’m so glad you like how it’s coming together-the panels really do make a difference, don’t they? 😊 Fingers crossed for the final result to be as beautiful as we hope. ❤ And I’m thrilled you love the wallpaper too 👍🙋♀️
Thank you for keeping it real. Had a little giggle about the earth project, as my nephew is a last minute man too. 😂 the wallpaper is beutiful, for some reason made me think of lily of the valley, soft moss and lush ferns. Can't wait for the next episode ❤
Thank you for such a lovely comment! 😊 it’s always the last-minute projects that bring the most stories, isn’t it? 😂 So glad you like the wallpaper ❤ See you Sunday x
That bed is beautiful! So nice of you to help put it together. I love green too and my bedroom is green also. I find the colors of nature are so calming. Can’t wait to see how the wallpaper looks❣️
I'm loving your new wallpaper. I can't wait to see the finished room! And the bed/headboard is beautiful. Thanks for sharing and I think DIY Diaries is perfect!♥
Your Nephews outfit was excellent, well done on creating the earth on short notice. When we moved into this home 5 years ago every wall had a colour i had never seen before or wanted to see again. We painted the bedrooms a soft grey but it looks like a sage green which is now on trend lol. I cant wait to see how your makeover turns out ive always been partial to soft greens yet blue is my favourite colour.
I appreciate that the process isn't just in one video. That is life...even professionals rarely get a job done in one day...at least not very high quality work. I also loved that it was kind of a day in the life as well as diy. ❤
Thank you for an interesting video Catherine looking forward to the finished bedroom, I'm sure it will be lovely. You are so helpful to others and putting your own tasks on hold, but good Karma will come back to youx
I was blessed with two boys, 😂 and notification the day before an event was standard. That being said, creativity came out of being so rushed, and we made loads of great projects. I was often at Walmart (open 24 hours) at 2am getting more supplies to finish an all nighter while my boys were fast asleep. We kept those projects in a big tote bc the memories r priceless! One has lived in our attic for years now - we made a tornado experiment out of plexiglass walls. It still works lol! Ur a great Aunt - they’re lucky to have u, and u them! Family is what matters at the end of the day! ❤
Hi Catherine thank you for sharing it's all very nice and you sure are a great friend and Aunty.the cats are so cute have a fun safe week see you on your next video ❤❤❤
Loved the vlog. Tbh, in life, the wheels often have a habit of falling off 😂 you are just keeping it real. ❤ and with plenty of humour 😂. I think you won auntie of the year. He looked so amazing in his outfit. Love the wallpaper and the diary naming 😍 Hugs from Leicester England
Hi Catherine, D.I.Y Diary is a great choice. Love your wallpaper so pretty. You are a fantastic Auntie, your nephew looked so happy. Looking forward to Sunday, take care
Thank you so much! 😊 I’m so glad you like the wallpaper-it was such a fun choice to make. And I'm happy my nephew’s project made him smile; it’s always a joy to help him out! See you Sunday x Take care! ❤
Catherine you are a great person, you drop everything for that cute boy and your friend, that makes you amazing. Looking forward to seeing the finish of your wall looking good so far. Have a happy week.
Bless you 🤗 this is why I love you so much … you’re an awesome Auntie, an amazing friend and will help if at all possible 🥰. We get a glimpse into life and it doesn’t always go as planned. Fantastic start to your bedroom, loving the choice of wallpaper. I’m on the same journey from greasy to green 😂. Take care x xx
Girl, you’re a dynamo! Looks wonderful so far. So jealous of your weather. Scrapping cars and shoveling snow today. Can’t wait to see how your bedroom turns out. See you Sunday!

That bed frame was second hand for €50 and I painted it in the shade "Vanille" by Authentico x
Some I got in Homebase, and some Amazon x
🇮🇪☘Hey Irish Girl, nice work. Lovely wallpaper and bed🛏 I really like the soft and sage like greens you are incorporating in your cottage🏠 Diaries are excellent📽💻
Thank You For Sharing Your Awesome Skills..

“The wallpaper is damaged at the bottom. Looks like I spilt tea. Probably when I was drunk. Comin’ to bed with a cup of tea. It happens….” Catherine - you crack me up! You are so funny! This video was so fun! I live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and I just got in from shovelling snow. Curled up with a cup of tea to enjoy your video and have a good laugh! Thanks! I’m looking forward to your Sunday video!
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it! Curling up with tea after shovelling snow sounds perfect-stay cosy! See you Sunday! 😊
You got snow before I did in MB!
Hi Dawn, I did see on the news you had snow, it will be coming our way soon enough. I'm in Ontario southern tip of lake Huron. Wishing you an easy winter.
Cheers from a fellow Calgarian ☕
Fellow albertan..near Calgary!!
how you show all the mess under the bed... this is real life, that makes you well loved x
Aw, thank you! Life’s definitely messy sometimes, and I figure-why not show it? ❤x
You are doing a lot of hard work. I'm amazed at your stamina and how you push yourself to accomplish your goal. Your beautiful fresh young face and adorable accent make me smile. You are a talented young lady, and your project is coming along nicely.
The smile on your nephew's face says it all! You're a wonderful auntie for putting off your project to help the little guy out. ❤ BTW the wall and trim looks great so far

I’d say the costume turned out perfect! He looked like a cheeky happy earth boy 😊
Fun vlog. Doesn't matter if you don't finish in one video. It's going to look fab!
Oh my goodness the surprise costume project was so adorable. It’s so cool when young children have great visions and it’s so sweet that you helped make it come to life. Best part of the video. I’m looking forward to the next.
I love when you pause.................then make your cup of tea - I so get that.
haha, its like the mental break I need to continue x
Your nephew's costume looked so good and he looked very happy!!! What a great auntie you are❤
A boy needing something the day before...never lol. I can't tell you how many times my son did this to me when he was younger haha. The Earth looked great!! Looking forward to the final reveal.

I just love how your cats constantly follow you around, so curious😂😍
Thank you! They’re so nosy, aren’t they? 😂 They make everything more fun (and chaotic)! Glad you enjoyed it. 😍

Love the wallpaper. That was a great costume. The cats are so funny, with how they love to keep an eye on what is going on.

I really appreciate your videos. Showing that we can be independent women and do things on our own. Very inspiring.
Aw, I'm so glad you enjoy them x

Your wall is looking great! I have a huge industrial wallpaper steamer- it slobbers hot & drippy all over everything and groans like a monster, but it does a great job.

Seeing the DIY process in diary form is not annoying, wheels off is just fine with me 💜
Perfect color in the wallpaper. 😊❤
Hi Catherine I like how you stop and help family. Love the wall paper. See you on next video.
Cant wait till part 2. Its looking fresh so far. Love how you are making memories with the kids. ❤
Absolutely love your new wallpaper really looking forward to seeing your next steps and I love how you show the step by step process. I'd love you as an Auntie!
Thanks so much! 😊 Next video is up Sunday, see you then x
Hi Catherine! Love the wallpaper. I understand the fascination with green. I want to green up my house as well🤩I thought you did a great last minute earth for Jack's costume. He looked fab ☺️looking forward to more of the room makeover
You are such a blessing to your family (& us)!! Your wonderful humor makes you adorable! Also Loved your bedroom refresh & looking forward to the next video. But so glad you revealed the pretty wallpaper & didn’t do a cliffhanger to keep us in suspense lol - Julie 😁💛
You are so kind Julie 🥰
Your nephew's costume turned out great between the two of you. Cute! Can't wait to see the next video.
Thank you!! 😊
I love watching your content, but you really make it worth watching. Something about you just makes people happy.❤
I appreciate that!
I'm also on a 'green buzz' - we just did a gentle floral wallpaper 1/3 up the living room wall & left (antique cream - yup, I copied off you the other year & used it in living room & stairs) top bit blank (1940's style?) with green dado rail. I've now echoed the green half way up opposite (window) wall, with dado rail. I got the green as a Dulux colour match to the sage-ish green in the wallpaper background. It all looks well smart! Thank you for the inspiration 😊❤🎉
Give me the weekly chats over a complete DIY any day ❤😊
I think the extra trim is a great idea.
Great varied, I know unintentional, video. You are a pro at removing wallpaper 👏 you made it look easy 😊 Wonderful costume addition for your nephew. He's so lucky to have you. Well done too with the bed assembly 👏 Til next time 👋

I love the DYI Diary idea. I wish all TH-camrs should use this method. It’s more realistic and lowers the expectation for you and for ourselves as well. Please keep it up! Love from Indiana!
Im happy to hear that its more realistic x
Brilliant! Take your time. We can wait. You're worth waiting for, lol!
Love all you do - and you do it with such style! Thank you for sharing xx
Good job removing wall paper. Oh my goodness what an adorable and clever costume design. I'm proud of you Aunt Catherine. Bed assembly didn't you need a battery operated tool? ha ha I would.
Love the wallpaper. Nice soft green stripe is classic and white wood will be beautiful.

Great job so far. You are such a help to your family and such a great Auntie, what would they do without you 😘😘
Thank you for keeping it real. Had a little giggle about the earth project, as my nephew is a last minute man too. 😂 the wallpaper is beutiful, for some reason made me think of lily of the valley, soft moss and lush ferns. Can't wait for the next episode ❤
Thank you for such a lovely comment! 😊 it’s always the last-minute projects that bring the most stories, isn’t it? 😂 So glad you like the wallpaper ❤ See you Sunday x
Can't wait to see the final reveal!
Well done! You are the best Autie ever!!!
Always fun to catch up and see what you're up to! Love the wallpaper, it's going to look so nice. And yes, I remember Art Attack too!
That bed is beautiful! So nice of you to help put it together. I love green too and my bedroom is green also. I find the colors of nature are so calming. Can’t wait to see how the wallpaper looks❣️
Absolutely 😍 the earth tones and natural tones are so relaxing
I'm loving your new wallpaper. I can't wait to see the finished room! And the bed/headboard is beautiful. Thanks for sharing and I think DIY Diaries is perfect!♥
Thanks so much! 😊
Catherine, nice work on your bedroom and your nephews costume! Looking forward to your finished project!
Thank you! 😊
Catherine your nephews costume omg your amazing. Look forward to seeing room done totally get need for diary type vlog .
The wallpaper is GORGEOUS. You have definitely slowly phased out the pink, which I totally love, and definitely a nod to your love of gardening. ❤🇨🇦
The wall paper looks lovely
It's so chilly this evening. I've just lit the fire & I'm sitting all cosy just in time for your video 😊
Love your videos ❤x
That sounds so lovely and cosy-perfect for a chilly evening! 🪵🔥 I’m so glad you’re enjoying the videos; it means a lot. ❤x
The green striped paper is fab, looking forward to seeing the finished result
Your Nephews outfit was excellent, well done on creating the earth on short notice. When we moved into this home 5 years ago every wall had a colour i had never seen before or wanted to see again. We painted the bedrooms a soft grey but it looks like a sage green which is now on trend lol. I cant wait to see how your makeover turns out ive always been partial to soft greens yet blue is my favourite colour.
I appreciate that the process isn't just in one video. That is life...even professionals rarely get a job done in one day...at least not very high quality work. I also loved that it was kind of a day in the life as well as diy. ❤
You are an absolute joy to watch - hilarious, real, kind, energetic and inspirational! Tight hug to your cheeky 🤙💜
Love the costume! Can't wait to see the finished project.
Catherine, you are a lovely Auntie! Gorgeous wallpaper too! Have a wonderful weekend, Laura ❤
Same to you Laura 🥰 your so kind x
You are a fantastic aunt, he looked adorable, and your bedroom is going to look great! Looking forward to the next vide! ❤️
Thank you for an interesting video Catherine looking forward to the finished bedroom, I'm sure it will be lovely. You are so helpful to others and putting your own tasks on hold, but good Karma will come back to youx
Thank you so much! xxxx
Looking great already - can’t wait for Sunday 😊xxx
I was blessed with two boys, 😂 and notification the day before an event was standard. That being said, creativity came out of being so rushed, and we made loads of great projects. I was often at Walmart (open 24 hours) at 2am getting more supplies to finish an all nighter while my boys were fast asleep. We kept those projects in a big tote bc the memories r priceless! One has lived in our attic for years now - we made a tornado experiment out of plexiglass walls. It still works lol! Ur a great Aunt - they’re lucky to have u, and u them! Family is what matters at the end of the day! ❤
Aww I’m sure you have some amazing memories putting together those last minute projects 🥹 pulling the best of your creativity for sure!
Good ole Bob Ross to the rescue! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I admire your energy and creativity! 🥰
🤗
