    My favorite part is the charming kitchen with the bookcase turned dish cabinet , the darks and the florals on the island and shelf. The little dining table is beyond perfect for this space. I think it would be so easy for you to stain and seal the little butcher block counter to match the table. I use black in every room for contrast and impact. It really anchors a space. A little touch of drama. But the most special part of this, is to see how a woman decorates when she lives alone, You see her personality, her dreams, her treasures, her comforts. I live alone at 72, and have been alone for 21 years. I am so content. And my home is my sanctuary. Every where I look is my life and my memories. Its home!

      Oh Liane that is so true ....I've been a solitary dweller for 30 years and i absolutely agree about the beauty and character of a solitary woman's home....I love it so much that i sketch and paint the homes of my female friends, each one is their soul in 3d.💖 I'm only 56 but i adore the hermit life, abd a nurturing soul-cave is vital for me. Thankyou for your comment that gave me such fruit for reflection.😊💖

    My granddaughter and I will probably be getting our own place soon. I'm disabled and can't live on my own. She told me the other day that she wants to design it with the Boho look so i shared this video with her. I hope she likes it and subscribes to your channel for more ideas!

    When my first husband passed away suddenly I learned that stuff simply wasn’t that important. It’s nice to see someone so young learning such important life lessons, I rejoice. Plus I also learned to use the “good stuff” and never have a “one day”, mentality. My husband’s first wife saved so many pretty things to use when they moved into their “dream home”. She never got to use any of it. I use them all the time and ask God to bless her where she is because she saved lovely things and I get to use them and enjoy her beautiful home.
    Charlie is so precious, and he clearly is a comfort for you. He shares the blessing of your boho cottage. My little chi “Luba” (Russian for lovey) is my sweet companion. I know how special chihuahuas can be.
    God bless you as you find your new normal, and stretch your pretty wings in your new environment. So proud of you for making the move and pushing through the discomfort of the move.

    At 78 years old I purchased a fixer-upper tiny home about three years ago. I have been at a loss how to use the space (8x24).
    At the same time, I was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome, and extreme anemia. I have not been able to paint or decorate for so long. And yes, with both those disorders comes depression.
    I am a new subscriber, and you have been such an inspiration to me. I look at what you’ve accomplished, and it makes me want to start painting and decorating. Thank you so much for your posts, you have so many great ideas. I love BoHo style, and I love thrifting!

      So true....i have a big garden too, South facing so it grows wild and wooly so fast....but I've learnt that it all dies back in winter, so if i just work at it slow and steady, when I'm well enough, somehow it all balances out. Times when it's crazy wild (and the creatures love it) and times when it's tidier....I'm letting it be an organic relationship and not pressuring myself to do too much. It's great to have goals for a garden but not to burden ourselves...it's a relationship and the garden shows us what it needs. 😊 I love your beautiful home. 💖

    Thank you so much for sharing the back story of the picture of the little girl (I’ll go full nerd now: “The Family of Phillip IV “by Diego Velazquez 1656) and why it means so much to you. That dear principal giving it to your grandparents, because it looked like their special needs daughter-oh, my heart (I worked with special needs kids for 10 years). And that it hung in your grandparents dining room-it’s like you have them and your aunt with you there, not to mention the pretty little Spanish princess, all living on in you cozy little Boho Cottage. So glad you wear your heart on your sleeve and your walls and all over your garden. Everything about you and Charlie and your surroundings is just precious!

We absolutely LOVE living Small!!😊😊😊😊😊 I have had challenges with the Furniture Layout, but we ended up meeting one of our neighbors, who happened to be a Stager, what a Blessing!! We put our heads together and came up with the PERFECT Layout that works for my Husband and I 🤗. I can't imagine living anywhere else.

Of coarse I had black light posters, black lights, white fishnet on the ceiling and shag rugs… lol … so for me this is an incredibly awesome “Grown up” extension of what that was to me. I love your touches. My tiny home is still decorated classic 70’s… minus the black walls( I repainted them from black in my bedroom last year lol ) but it keeps me smiling! 🙂

    Love your home. Love boho. I just moved from a ranch we rented for 20 years and raised our two children. When my landlady passed the 7 children wanted to sell the home. We bought an 1878 home five minutes away. The ranch had a lot of storage. This house is larger with less storage. I have an antique case at a local mall and was hoping to resell so I have things to store and no place to go with it. I was so content before and am praying hard that this will be a home of happiness and joy. It’s hard and it’s all a major process of purging and finding your comfort again. You have done a lovely job. This was the first time I found your video and I enjoyed it. It was peaceful. Thank you.

I found the cutest little aqua/blue metal cart to put my Berkey on! At $15 I felt like I got a treasure deal! At one of the sales, I was told the history of this village event; decades ago there was a devastating fire, and the community rallied together and had sales to gather money to help out. That was so heartwarming to hear! ❤ Have a beautiful weekend!

    You and I decorate exactly the same, more is more.. I am 72 and I always love 40s and 50s vintage. I’ve been with you almost at the beginning if not right at the beginning and I remember that cottage. I fell in love with that I love this one just as well❤ I am excited to see what you are going to do in that little back room and the bathroom 😮thank you for sharing your beautiful home and Charlie with us. Have a blessed weekend me and Otis🐶 Massachusetts.. PS Charlie is much more happier in this home. I truly believe that.❤

    As a "gypsy soul" I've moved many times, each time is a new adventure in a different area of the country. I've saved some essentials over time that fit my needs and it seems my needs became less and more flexible. Like you, my mind set is that I "can" replace furniture or take family donations because they replaced things they have and kept the extra's around for too long- my good fortune. I am extremely comfortable in small spaces as long as there is plenty of natural light and a connection to the outdoors. Thank you for sharing you lovely style and comfortable home! My son-in-law told my daughter, he didn't think this would be my last move, because I have a gypsy soul, she agreed! Love them.........

    What a beautiful cottage. You are very talented and I love your boho style. I've moved a lot over the years and I used to tell myself 'Home is where your stuff is' and 'Home is where your pillow is', but I love that everything you have in your possession means something to you. I think I will declutter on this premise. I can't wait to watch more of your videos. Charlie is adorable too🌷

    The cottage is beautiful and Charlie seems so much happier there, he's the perfect little tour guide. I think trauma's we go through in life makes us attach more to things because of the comfort factor for sure. I know since I've been healing those old wounds I have been letting go of more and more stuff and the less unused things I have around me now the happier I have become. I hope to have a smaller place sometime soon myself. I'm really looking forward to slowly turning it into my own peaceful sanctuary and into having my own little secret garden to spend time in too. Your place looks so calm and peaceful. That painted wall with the mirror in your bathroom so makes me want one like it to put a few art deco touches there lol. I'm already decorating my space in my mind.

    • @littlebohocottage
      @littlebohocottage  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think you're right about attaching to things for comfort. But it's fun how once we start letting go of physical things, we can usually let go of any negative emotions more easily, too : ) Thanks for being here!!!!!!❤❤❤

    • @feedogmummy496

      So true...I downsized from 1200sq ft to 450 sq ft and i found what helped was to take pics of things i thought i was attached to, pribt them and make a memory journal. I have done the same with former homes i lived in, photos and sketches....it feels like I've preserved the happy memories without being trapped by stuff . I have a neurological deficit and lose a lot of my long term memories,but i can recapture the sense of peace from my journals of places and homes.😊

    Your home is so beautiful Your previous cottage was so cute but this one is even more lovely.
    I have been homeless for 4 years and live in my car with my 2 dogs. Previously I lived in a 3 b3droom cottage but due to circumstances beyond my control, I found myself living on the streets. I cannot begin to explain how traumatic it is not to have a home, Please be grateful for each day you get to stay in a beautiful home, and surrounded as you are by nature And a place where you and Charlie are safe. Please stop complaining about what is not small or big enough, finished or unfinished, Cherish your blessings and voice only good things about the home as the Univers is listening and one never knows how things can change in an instant. I wish you and Charlie many beautiful and happy years in your new home. GodBless

Off to Europe then a winter in Mexico and back to Scotland these past 5 yrs. I have a little white Chihuahua who will be 16 soon. I can see you in the south of France, Charlie would love the sunshine as our Chihuahuas are sun worshipers indeed. Blessings.

    Charlie made sure he was the main attraction of your cottage tour. He has such a large cute factor about him. Your cottage is so cozy and has so much colour to brighten even the most darkest of days. I started to declutter a few years ago but last year I started to clutter up again and I feel very unsettled about it now. Being unsettled about it will keep nagging away at me until I decide to free up my life again.

    I love your little cottage. ♥️ The colors in your cottage are very much like the colors in my boho living room. Also, I have been learning macrame and made myself a wall hanging. It's not perfect, but I like it. I too would love to live in a smaller space. Our current home (rented) is about 900 square feet and feels way too big. We have an extra bedroom since our daughter got married that we currently just use for storage. For years I have wanted to live in something no bigger than 500 square feet and your little place shows me that it is definitely doable. Thanks for sharing! ❤

    I love your little cottage. I feel the same way that you do as I am getting older. I want less material stuff and to live in smaller spaces. It is easier to clean and as you said you feel lighter with less. Life is about experiences not things. I recently got rid of about half of my possessions and I am continuing to purge even more. It feels good. I love little Charlie. He is the cutest. I have 2 Chihuahuas myself that I adore. Can’t wait to see what you do with the garden. Take care.

    Hi Kate. You have done an amazing job in your new cottage. Charlie acts happier too! I especially appreciate your thoughts on materlism. No matter where you go, you have the talent to make your space comfortable and cozy! That's just a talent you have! I loved your former cozy cottage but I absolutely adore the one your in now. Your kichen has more room and seems to be easier to work in. I am so glad you made the hard decision to move especially for the colder months! I get so excited when you put up a new video. It's like , ok what is Kate and Charlie going to show me this week. I just love you both ! You seem to be happier in the new cottage too ! Charlie sure loves to show off yalls new home. I hope you have a great weekend can't wait until your next video. I'm addicted to the little boho cottage! From Texas 😀

    Watching Charlie playing is everything! Our next door neighbors just got a new puppy (her name is Gigi) and she's the cutest darn thing! Letting go of stuff used to be so hard for me, too. It's silly how we get attached to things, isn't it. Last year I took four huge garbage bags of clothes out to donate and now I couldn't even tell you what all was in those bags. I don't miss any of it. This morning, my husband came home from work (he works third shift and gets home around 6:30am) and decided to clean out our garage. It seriously needed it. We literally couldn't walk into it. I did end up going out and helping a bit but he was nearly done when I got up. Now we can almost fit my car in there (it's pretty small and if we didn't have the lawn mower in there it would probably fit) and it feels great to have gotten rid of so much we didn't use or need. I'm starting on the basement tomorrow. :)

    Your home is so peaceful and it’s nice and cozy. I have a little chihuahua that reminds me of your dog. I adopted him 8 years ago. He spent his first 2 years living with a 200 dog hoarder. He just loves me so much and brings me so much happiness. He loves to run around the house and jumps into his dog bed like your little one..

    Your cottage tour is wonderful! The entire space is filled with love, charm and your boho aesthetic that will embrace every season. The use of black really works well as an accent to the white and vibrant colors. Love how your favorite portrait painting has that pop of black too. Can't wait to see how your garden space continues to evolve. Love and good wishes to you and the pup!💖

    Your a lovely person and I can relate to allot of what you shared. I'm retired and live with my little Chihuahua Timmy, I love working on our home (apt) and will never be finished. I've created a sanctuary where you are transported once you walk through the door. With thrifted treasures and finds from my travels. It's amazing how you can change a space with painting, wallpaper, drapes, fabrics and lighting (especially lamps and dimmers). I feel very Blessed, but like you my most valuable prized possession 🏆 is Timmy, I call him "the wee one".
    Take Care ❣️🙏, David & Timmy🇨🇦
