    Phew, a few technical difficulties getting this video up but it's here, yay! Hope you enjoy this vlog style video, I was amazed by how much content I filmed so decided to split this video into two. Let me know if you have any video requests 🥰

      Can I suggest putting in an inset wood burner instead no need to remove the bottom bricks

    Tip #1 Always paint the ceilings first. Otherwise you'll end up with tiny splatters of ceiling paint from the roller onto the walls. Any larger smears etc will ruin the wall paint.
    I am about to paint the entire interior of my home as well as sand and refinish the hardwood oak floors throughout.

I cant wait to see what you do with the backyard! They dont really have cottages in the US, or morr so California. I guess not a cute english one by cottage fairy tale standards 😆

    I would get a lighter shade of the darker green. The darker one is a prettier type of green but if the whole point of painting was to lighten the space up then go for something lighter!

  • @estellescordellis4332

    Both the greens you prefer are very nice. The first one is lovely and soft and the second one is brighter which may look good as you said it is west facing.

      @@Livingthelifeyoulove Sometimes impossible. I bought three sample pots from Little Green, choose the one I thought would look best for the room and painted one wall. It didn't look good and ended up painting it all white!

    Can't wait for the next video. I think the darker green color is so much better. It comes out nice and goes better with the cottage-y feel. If you were to paint your kitchen cabinets, then I'd go with a lighter green.

    I have a colour similar to your fave darker green in my kitchen - and am regretting it, it turned out too dark.
    The paler bluey one would be my choice. Good luck!

    I like the darker of the two greens and think it’d be a nice contrast to the white.....but then with you saying that you were concerned about light levels, a lighter colour may be better. I’d say go with your instincts. Your first guess is probably the right one. Trust me, repainting because you didn’t trust your instincts the first time is not fun.

    The darker sage green, it's more neutral and will go with more colors. If however you pick the lighter green it'll be easy to paint over if you decide it's not for you.

      Living the life you love it’s always hard to tell a colour properly on camera vs real life too - it’s really satisfying watching you putting down roots after all of your wandering if that makes sense - I’m sure it will manage to be both a spring board for your future travel adventures and a safe place to land 😘 xx

      I was intrigued myself so just measured 😂 it depends which corner of the room you measure in as nothing in this house is level 🤣 but about 220cm under the beams or 225cm to the ceiling 🙂 They're quite high for a cottage to be honest!
