This is my favorite project ever that I had almost no hand in. 10/10, would cheerlead from the sidelines again. That said, now that it's up, it is time for these hands to get to WORK 🙌
I love Royal Match! I've played quite a few of these match-3 games and this one is the best to date! Really nice graphics, fun music, great mix of levels. Just a few minutes you say? I can play for hours!
I apologise for the negative comment on Royal Match. If I had any way to tell the company that makes the game, or the ads how annoying the ads are I would not be commenting here. I get ads from Royal Match urging me to download it like 4 or 5 times a day, and the scenarios seem quite violent to me. Also, if they they have no ads, then they must be making their money with in game purchases. I live on a fixed income and the budget is extremely tight. I just have a very low tolerance for games where I'm supposed to rescue someone.
@@renaebettenhausen3611 they make their money through micro transactions. You aren't rescuing the king every level, you get stars for completing levels, that you use to decorate the castle. It's fun and it's nice not having to worry about ads. I have Royal match on my phone and it's nice to play while baby is asleep on my lap.
I live in a home with vacation home in the woods vibes, filled with family antiques and collected vintage furniture a lovely eclectic mix, with loads of rich color. I have e been here since 2014 and still get a thrill every morning when I wake up. Have fun, love everything you put in your cottage in the woods. 🤗💙💚💛💜💟👍
*"I CAN BUILD THAT"* the number of times I have regretted saying that... We usually think we can get a new tool out of it - but regret it in the long run...
"If Ms. Frizzle had a sister who was into history rather than science" Oh you mean Ruth Goodman? 🧡 She's amazing and I love all the period farm series she did years ago.
I swear, every video of yours I watch, I think 'could Morgan get any cooler?' and then you do! every time! your editing also gets more creative with every video, i'm so impressed & inspired by your personal style, confidence and general awesomeness
As a history student, it makes me so happy to see colorful, vibrant, and extremely unique representations of the past. Our history isn't actually beige. It is technicolor! Incredibly thrilled to see the inspiration photos, cannot wait to see how your beautiful cottage turns out!
Reminds me of a book I read where the FL was thinking that nobody ever says that their favorite color is taupe...or beige. When I was house hunting it was off white, beige, beige, gray, beige, taupe, gold, beige, taupe...wait GOLD? Guess which one I bought.
Anything historical could legitimately be placed into a modern house. Having 20th century as your most recent allows a medieval chest to sit comfortably next to a Victorian armchair. A local artist and set designer, Derek Hill said, "Put together what pleases you. The consistency of your own taste will make it work." Glebe House in Donegal, Ireland, is testament to that.
I’d just finished a talk to children about how our ancestors made cloth for their clothes when one child asked ‘when did history stop being black and white?’
This meta angle is really cute! Love that you've chosen to go with a mismatch of eras for the decor, it'll be like a time-traveller or immortal's cabin!
That is straight up goals. When I go up I wanna be able to make my own cottage. Such a cool and whimsical project. This is what is possible when crafty people get together.
This bit got cut from the video, but at one point I talked about how I'm not just excited for the physical space, but even more knowing how much fun it will be for the two of us to work on projects together.
I love how when people ask me about my architecture studies and I tell them I have to have a decent grasp on *everything* they laugh, but when they do even a small project like this suddenly they really realize how many decisions you need to keep track of.
It's like studying to be a registered dietitian... Everybody knows how to eat, so my 3,5 years studying couldn't really learn me much they didn't know beforehand..
I love that liberating moment when you're "historical". Giving yourself the liberty to do whatever gets you excited about the place will make it that more special.
"The vibe is...imagine Miss Frizzle had a sister who was more into History.' So, the vibe is basically...me? Looking forward to those purples and florals then
I adore your embroidered blouse with the red kirtle at the end! Where is this from? Also, "if Miss Frizzle were more into history than science" is such a vibe. Your excitement is so contagious! This makes me want to get back into historical sewing. :)
Sitting here editing photos from our long-planned trip to Europe and literally looking at stained and painted glass from the York Minster Cathedral when you said "really cool, colorful, vibrant, beautiful things." Yes! So much color! Maybe a wallpaper or a mural based on an 18th century court dress?! We want to build something like this in our backyard and this is such great inspiration!
Of course, I was thinking with all that space she could have a loom & just "whip up" some tapestries, lol ! 😆 Not only beautiful, but they insulate as well !
This looks great and I’m so excited to see what you do with it 👏👏👏 Edit: AND YES TO MIX AND MATCH HISTORICAL STYLES! In art history I learned about a period around 1900s called Historicism which was a mix of many older styles ❤
When Morgan goes Meta, she goes hard. It's so fun when you do stuff like this and your Choose your own Adventure video. Very excited to see a colorful, historical look into Morgan's headspace.
This is such a good video I'm actually floored. I have watched this channel casually for years and every time I come back I'm always like 'damn, I forgot what a banger of a youtube she is'. Congrats on another absolute slapper
I like the idea of vaguely historical as a 14th centurary house might get 15 th centuray doors, 16 th centuray wall paintings, 17 the centuary decorations and 18th centuary furniture or something like that mixed up with some fantasy.
C.O.L.O.R! Yes! I always wonder why blah seems to be the modern interpretation of the colorways people used when period sources say "au contraire". I have travelled the world (36 countries) with history as my driving inspiration. The ancient Greeks loved color. So did the ancient Egyptians. Those temples that look all sere and beautiful were polychrome, baby! So huzzah for color. Live your dreams.
I Love the Style you ended up editing this video in!! its nice "watching a video" with you 😂 I'm very excited to see how the vaguely historical barn series goes
I think mixing things from different time periods makes sence. For example 200 years ago they would of course also have older stuff in their homes not just from that era. Mixing styles from different classes could be more tricky. Like having a very exclusive big gold mirror next to a rough pull out sofa. Good luck! Looking forward seeing the journey!
I like the idea of having one or two older fancier pieces and then some newer/simpler rustic items. It works in a sort of treasured heirlooms, either from before your family fell on hardtimes or in particular for Morgan's cabin thing, that you brought with you from Europe when traveling to the new world. The moving to the Americas works particularly well for having light wood (say from clearing the land) furniture that is made with care but not too much in the way of fancy details. I think this bed still works for that pourpose because if you have the rods(which would be light and therefore transportable) it's not unreasonable to use it. Especially in areas with limited long large straight wood(where I am it's not super common)
I absolutely adored the "watch with me" vibe of this video. I actually said "aww, thank you Morgan!" out loud when you brought me a soda water. I'm traveling for work this week, which is always a pretty lonely experience, and this was just what I needed. I'm all in favor of mix-matching your time periods. Time traveler's cottage, indeed! It's going to be so cozy when it's finished. First your sewing room, now your cottage--you're living the dream!
Loving the cozy cottage and stove! There’s nothing like a wood burning stove and the modern ones are so much more efficient. If you’ll be using it by yourself, I highly recommend a kindling cracker, because they make chopping kindling so much easier and safer (not that I don’t love swinging an axe towards my feet but 😬). We use ours all the time (even the “manly men” agree it’s a very effective way to make small kindling).
This is so exciting!! I can’t wait to see what you do with it! The description you gave of your inspiration/plan sounds so fun and lovely and cozy :D Does Mr. Morgan Donner have a channel for his woodworking? He looks like he’d be entertaining to watch :)
@@MorganDonner or perhaps more accurately, @ Mr Donner, sometimes even putting up a tripod with the wife's camera while you work can be enough. I've often found myself watching people at work, with nary a word, for half an hour to even a full hour here on youtube, perhaps comparable to a visual asmr. Just my thoughts, no pressure ofcourse :)
I 100% agree! If only I could convince him 😂. He'd rather just enjoy making stuff and showing off the finished result rather than filming the process though 🤷♀️
@@MorganDonner well maybe it can start off just showing the finished product. And talk about what he did to make it. Then as he grows his audience he will be showing more of the process then just like that he has a woodworking show whit an ol timey feel and some stunning historical outfits his wife made him.
Oooohhh the fun noises you're going to hear as that wood drys in place. Pops and pips and snaps as the wood change shape while drying. It's one of the fun things about timber frame buildings.
Back in the 1970s my then-husband and I built a couple of cabins. First in Wyoming, the second on the edge of the forest in rural Montana. Like many others then, we were part of the counter culture back to the land movement. Also raising goats and chickens along with our young son. Organic garden, making bread in wood fired stove, etc. I love watching your process, and doing it in a hands-on, comfortable, manageable way. Only concern I have is this: You have well-fireproofed underneath the stove, but nothing on the adjacent walls, but wood. Yikes! Looks very scary to me. Remember that heat radiates and rises. Never leave that fire alone.
The moment where you broke the fourth wall during the sponsorship and then talked to us like we were actually there with you watching and getting us a soda water was genius, I've seen fourth wall breaks in TH-cam videos before but never one that felt so warm and welcoming
The editing of your videos just keeps getting better and better and I am so impressed with every new one! This one is so creative that while the project presented in the video is super cool to begin with… but the editing makes a real piece of art out of documenting a different piece of art. Mindblown 🤯
Morgan, what I was picturing you describing for the interior sounds like Swedish country houses with intricately-painted walls and mashed-up “history.” Would definitely suit the environment! Looking forward to seeing it unfold.
I liked the you watching the video as part of the video. I always enjoy the way you put together your videos, and am excited to see what you put out here in 2023.
I love the theme! Good for you! "Just, historical, oldtimey" SO much more fun, we're a product of ALL of the past, not just one year or one time period!
All historical homes with great character were designed by not just one person, but decades of people adding what suited them and that time period. It's what makes the story of that home interesting.
Whoa this is kinda the best produced video I‘ve ever seen… The chill watching TH-cam together with you? The drinks you offered to us? The open ending? Chef‘s kiss😍
I have trouble expressing how much I love your content! It's so thoughtful and creative and joyful and it makes me feel more of all of those things for myself. Thank you so much! ❤❤❤❤❤
I think that the fact that you *can* pick and choose the most beautiful parts of every century is absolutely amazing, and maybe, the whole point? I have no doubt, that if our ancestors had the same opportunity to pick and choose they would take whole hearted advantage of it. 🥰🌺
I have the same type of latch on a door in my house, it's on a brown barnboard door and it does mark the door but since the door is wood from a torn down barn, it's rustic and who cares about a little more wear.
That was a fun tour Morgan. Thanks for the delicious water 😄. The stone under the stove is super pretty, the whole build is! Enjoy decorating, You have great ideas.
We had a similar wood stove, back in the 70's, when I was younger. This brought back memories. I am awed by Mr. And Mrs. And their diy ethic. You would be great neighbors
Mad prop to you for editing this video Twice! Mr Morgan Donner's little Vanna White moment made the smile. That stove is Lovely and needs a little old time kettle so you can have coffee while you work!
I love how creative your videos are! I haven’t seen anyone do a sort of inception video and I thought it was a super cool idea. Morgan, you’re always killing it with the content. Love it and wishing you a happy and healthy new year! Thanks for sharing with us 🤠
Look at you!! The cabin is awesome!! I recommend some kind of reflective fire safe surface behind the stove to protect the wall. It will really help reflect heat into the room and keep the walls from over hearing.
It is more than double the recommended clearances away from combustible surfaces for this particular model, but the point about reflecting heat back in the room is not something I had considered, thank you for commenting!
Also something to consider: If you plan to cover the cabin under your home insurance, the insurance company may require it. In my experience, they tend to get quite persnickety about wood heating.
It’s okay to mix styles. Living in the UK we have cottages from lots of different historic periods, but none of them have stayed exactly as they were built. New owners always ‘modernised’ them. Medieval cottages didn’t have glass in the windows or a chimney, or an iron stove. Tallow candles and smoke helped to create the authentic yellow-brown walls, and the floors were often just earth or stone covered in rushes or straw. You’re not making a museum piece - just have some fun.
The mismatched eras decor idea reminds me of European castles that have been in use for centuries. Castles like the ones in Prague and Cesky Krumlov have a bunch of different architectural styles jammed together.
If Morgan Donner hosted an HGTV show talking about rescuing and renovating historic houses (without losing their historic charm), I'd watch every season. There is something about her tone and cadence that makes talking about building a cabin so dang relaxing yet fun. Forget about the Property Brothers, I want to see Morgan Donner talk about historic houses
For the marks on the door, my grandparents had similar handles in their house, which were original and from around the same time. The latch bit had a thin brass plate behind it, which didn't match and may not have been original, but I LOVED it because the spot where the latch swung was always shiny and the rest was tarnished and I thought it was so beautiful as a kid. (I don't know why, probably because it was at eye level and shiny.)
This is such a cute Framing (pun intended?) device for this video! It's so cozy! It makes you feel like you're just hanging out together, which this kind of video definitely needs.
Wow! This is going to be a great project! Of course this is your castle and castles accumulate all kinds of different things from different centuries, so totally fitting, IMO!
I love how your daily style has evolved, it's so fun but so effortlessly you! Also, I am so excited about this project! Can't wait to see what you do with the place
Pro tip for those who are going to put a brand spanking new wood stove into a building. Put it outside for the first fire. This will prevent any possible outgassing from stinking up your space and it's probably going to save your lungs. The space is super cute btw. Super excited for you! :)
Love it all. I just finished up an ufp from my grandma...she was born in 1935. Cottage core apron in navy gingham finished with vintage lace. Best of all is the simplicity pattern was still in the box when they sold for 15 cents. Thought about you and how some 🍄 🍄 🍄 🍄 on the pocket would be just perfect....and here you are building a cottage.
Ma'am the cottage it's self was amazing. Lovely work done by all involved. But the idea of how you edited the "first episode" and you were watching it, I loved it. Very creative 😊
Just love the framing device you used in this video. A soda water was just what I wanted, thank you! Amazing work to you and Mr. Donner. Thank you for sharing.

Currently accepting bets on who finishes their cottage/barn decor first: Rachel Maksy or Morgan
Rachel's going to win by a mile, she's so fast! I can't wait to see how hers turns out!
My two faves! How can I choose one to bet against?? The only way this could be more anxiety inducing is if Bernadette Banner joined the fray 😂
What is "finished"? Both of them will keep tweaking and improving as they use the space and get inspired by all the things :)
Rachel has a pretty good headstart.
I propose that Rachel and Morgan each make something for the other’s barn space. Would be a fun collaboration!
Classic husband move; “Why buy it when I can make it?” It came out beautifully! I love the stove.
I mean, isn't that why some of us got into crafting in the first place? I know I did!
I haven't found a guy worth a darn, so I have to build them myself. 💪😣

Only concern I have is this: You have well-fireproofed underneath the stove, but nothing on the adjacent walls, but wood. Yikes! Looks very scary to me. Remember that heat radiates and rises. Never leave that fire alone.
The moment where you broke the fourth wall during the sponsorship and then talked to us like we were actually there with you watching and getting us a soda water was genius, I've seen fourth wall breaks in TH-cam videos before but never one that felt so warm and welcoming
The editing of your videos just keeps getting better and better and I am so impressed with every new one! This one is so creative that while the project presented in the video is super cool to begin with… but the editing makes a real piece of art out of documenting a different piece of art. Mindblown 🤯
Morgan, what I was picturing you describing for the interior sounds like Swedish country houses with intricately-painted walls and mashed-up “history.” Would definitely suit the environment! Looking forward to seeing it unfold.
I liked the you watching the video as part of the video. I always enjoy the way you put together your videos, and am excited to see what you put out here in 2023.
This gave me much more adorable and cozy Emperor's New Groove vibes with the pauses/fast forwards/etc. This is utterly delightful! Thank you!
I love the sort of commentary style of this video! Instead of adding things in afterwards with a voice over, you made this truly a unique experience!
I love the theme! Good for you! "Just, historical, oldtimey" SO much more fun, we're a product of ALL of the past, not just one year or one time period!
All historical homes with great character were designed by not just one person, but decades of people adding what suited them and that time period. It's what makes the story of that home interesting.
This video format is so cute! This is so lovely!
Yay, thank you!
Whoa this is kinda the best produced video I‘ve ever seen… The chill watching TH-cam together with you? The drinks you offered to us? The open ending? Chef‘s kiss😍
Ooooh that looks such a wonderful cottage! I can't wait to see it fully come to life!
This looks so amazing and can’t wait until you fill it with treasures from your time travels! That stove with the glass front is so nice!!!
Hygge. That sense of cozy and comfortable. Have fun decorating your sweet, little cottage.
I have trouble expressing how much I love your content! It's so thoughtful and creative and joyful and it makes me feel more of all of those things for myself. Thank you so much! ❤❤❤❤❤
I think that the fact that you *can* pick and choose the most beautiful parts of every century is absolutely amazing, and maybe, the whole point? I have no doubt, that if our ancestors had the same opportunity to pick and choose they would take whole hearted advantage of it. 🥰🌺
I have the same type of latch on a door in my house, it's on a brown barnboard door and it does mark the door but since the door is wood from a torn down barn, it's rustic and who cares about a little more wear.
That was a fun tour Morgan. Thanks for the delicious water 😄. The stone under the stove is super pretty, the whole build is! Enjoy decorating, You have great ideas.
We had a similar wood stove, back in the 70's, when I was younger. This brought back memories. I am awed by Mr. And Mrs. And their diy ethic. You would be great neighbors
Mix and match your times! The vibe should be Morgan’s happy space!
Congratulations on a very nice looking cottage! Have fun
The „framing“ of watching together is a very cute way of presenting the Video ❤
Mad prop to you for editing this video Twice! Mr Morgan Donner's little Vanna White moment made the smile.
That stove is Lovely and needs a little old time kettle so you can have coffee while you work!
I love how creative your videos are! I haven’t seen anyone do a sort of inception video and I thought it was a super cool idea. Morgan, you’re always killing it with the content. Love it and wishing you a happy and healthy new year! Thanks for sharing with us 🤠
Love this format! It adds so much to the "bringing us along with you" feel of the video.
So amazing. I have followed you for a couple of years, you are always full of great information. Looking forward to the series.
Look at you!! The cabin is awesome!! I recommend some kind of reflective fire safe surface behind the stove to protect the wall. It will really help reflect heat into the room and keep the walls from over hearing.
It is more than double the recommended clearances away from combustible surfaces for this particular model, but the point about reflecting heat back in the room is not something I had considered, thank you for commenting!
@@MorganDonner personal experience! Those little stoves can really throw off heat!
Also something to consider: If you plan to cover the cabin under your home insurance, the insurance company may require it. In my experience, they tend to get quite persnickety about wood heating.
It’s okay to mix styles. Living in the UK we have cottages from lots of different historic periods, but none of them have stayed exactly as they were built. New owners always ‘modernised’ them. Medieval cottages didn’t have glass in the windows or a chimney, or an iron stove. Tallow candles and smoke helped to create the authentic yellow-brown walls, and the floors were often just earth or stone covered in rushes or straw. You’re not making a museum piece - just have some fun.
The mismatched eras decor idea reminds me of European castles that have been in use for centuries. Castles like the ones in Prague and Cesky Krumlov have a bunch of different architectural styles jammed together.
1) Very cool project- looks great!
2) Very fun format of this video
3) I love seeing your style/self expression evolve!
If Morgan Donner hosted an HGTV show talking about rescuing and renovating historic houses (without losing their historic charm), I'd watch every season. There is something about her tone and cadence that makes talking about building a cabin so dang relaxing yet fun. Forget about the Property Brothers, I want to see Morgan Donner talk about historic houses
For the marks on the door, my grandparents had similar handles in their house, which were original and from around the same time. The latch bit had a thin brass plate behind it, which didn't match and may not have been original, but I LOVED it because the spot where the latch swung was always shiny and the rest was tarnished and I thought it was so beautiful as a kid. (I don't know why, probably because it was at eye level and shiny.)
love the way it's edited like i'm hanging out with a friend who is introducing me to a new show, that is so clever
This is such a cute Framing (pun intended?) device for this video! It's so cozy! It makes you feel like you're just hanging out together, which this kind of video definitely needs.
Wow! This is going to be a great project! Of course this is your castle and castles accumulate all kinds of different things from different centuries, so totally fitting, IMO!
I love how your daily style has evolved, it's so fun but so effortlessly you! Also, I am so excited about this project! Can't wait to see what you do with the place
You're so imaginative with your film-making and storytelling skills ! I'm amazed by the format 😍
Having the worst day at work. Goes on lunch to see new Morgan video. Day made 100% better. Thank you 💜. 10/5 amazing content!
The decor aesthetic is just “time” and I love that for you XD I’m in awe of this like y’all seriously built a whole heckin building! WOWOW!
The cottage looks lovely! but also that floral embroidered shirt is a *dream*!!!!
Pro tip for those who are going to put a brand spanking new wood stove into a building. Put it outside for the first fire. This will prevent any possible outgassing from stinking up your space and it's probably going to save your lungs.
The space is super cute btw. Super excited for you! :)
Mr. Donner did an excellent job building that barn and you did an excellent job making this video.
It’s so beautiful and amazing you did it yourselves! Also that red dress and embroidered shirt…!!!!! Oh my oh wow! 😚 👌
Totally agree about avoiding “ historical beige”! I live in an old adobe from around 1830 and I’ve gone pretty bold with color and I’m loving it!
Thank you for every video. Every. One. They bring such joy. 💕
Feel so lucky to see some of Mr Morgan Donner and his work! Very excited to see more of your shared project 😊
Love it all. I just finished up an ufp from my grandma...she was born in 1935. Cottage core apron in navy gingham finished with vintage lace. Best of all is the simplicity pattern was still in the box when they sold for 15 cents. Thought about you and how some 🍄 🍄 🍄 🍄 on the pocket would be just perfect....and here you are building a cottage.
Ma'am the cottage it's self was amazing. Lovely work done by all involved. But the idea of how you edited the "first episode" and you were watching it, I loved it. Very creative 😊
You should have rosepainting on the beams. They're historical, beautiful, colourful. And they give off great vibes.
You and Rachel are living my dream!!!
Just love the framing device you used in this video. A soda water was just what I wanted, thank you!
Amazing work to you and Mr. Donner. Thank you for sharing.
