Sarah, Willie & Jack x
Great job just perfect for what you both wanted. Jack's new bed very nice too. Well done 👏
What a fantastic job you've done!! You're going to enjoy using your studios so much!!
Oh my goodness, you both have done a beautiful job decorating your individual studios!! ❤
It's a such an AH-MAZING transformation. One building with 2 separate individual decor tastes. WELL DONE YOU!
You’ve both worked so hard so massive kudos for a great project and brilliant result
I love how both rooms have a color theme, Willie's touches of red from the carpets to the plaid chair to the guitars hanging on the wall to the desktop. Looks serendipitous and yet very coordinated. And then Sarah's blues are so pretty against the white, although I admit as an artist I expected her use of color to be planned. Great job you two + Jack!
Everyone’s hard work really paid off! I know that y’all and Jack Spaniels will enjoy the byre and your particular studio spaces for loads of time to come!
Great job on the byre ! Team work really paid off on this project. Thank you for allowing me to follow along with your adventures.
Bravo Jack!! You’re a doggone amazing supervisor 🐾🐾 love the byre 🥰
Well done, the Byre is transformed. Nice to see the island in the good weather too. Xx
The two of you made a dream come true! Beautiful! Thank you for all the entertainment and a glimpse into your world every week. 😊
💖Luv ya bunches, Willie, Sarah, and Jack
Spaniels 💖
You’ve all done a brilliant job on the Byre and created some wonderful work spaces for yourselves but it’s also going to give you more living/relaxing space in the cottage. I wish you many happy and productive hours in your new studios 👍
Absolutely brilliant job you two (with a little help from your friends). Must admit Richard became a bit of a cult in our house ! May you both create wonderful things in your new space.
A bit of a what?? Oh, *cult*. I see. As you were 😅
Sarah was just testing the placement before putting the permanent fixings in. A very reasonable approach to take! Excellent job on the cabinet!
From an artist living in rural Australia, this new creative space will be a lifelong oasis for you both, especially in your winter. My studio is my resort, convelesence, nurturing, private development space. Enjoy and go forth and create.🎉
Beautiful & Functional transformation of the Byre!!! Love the Horse Brasses & cool bottles in Willie’s space!! Sarah’s space is so nicely organized & she gets to have Jack Spaniel’s with her!!!! ❤
You two (and your helpers) have done an AMAZING job, both of your studio spaces are absolutely *beautiful*, and so perfectly meet your needs while reflecting your styles/tastes (and you both have great taste!). 🎸🎨 Really, really well done, bravo!!! 🏆👏
Also, I very much love the way you both “reduce, reuse, recycle” every chance you get, you’re so good at finding ways to reuse and repurpose all sorts of things, it’s truly admirable. ⭐️
It's been such a pleasure watching you two improve your home. Love that you have included family heirlooms. The countryside is just beautiful.
A fabulous job well done. Lots of wonky chonky character. The two studio spaces suit you both well and Jack Spaniel too. Just love that pup!
I love how the byre turned out. It was hard work, but so worth it! It's amazing how much space was in there.
Your work spaces look great! Sarah, what a well travelled lady you are!! And Willy, the rugs match your drum kit!!
Love what you have done and achieved. It doesn't just give you a music and an art studio but must really free up space in the cottage too! I love Jack Spaniels new bed. You won't regret buying that size. As Jack gets older it will give him the space to really get comfortable. I bought a small two seater low sofa from a charity shop for £15 for my Springer George. He loved being able to really stretch out! Congrats again on all you have achieved so far 😀
Sarah, I don’t think you know how sought after these rugs are. 🙌
Or maybe I did and I was worried about how much Willie was “investing” in them 🤣🤣🤣
The Byre looks fabulous! What a transformation. Anyone who hasn't seen the vlogs from the start of the work MUST watch them🤩🤩🤩. Well done to all of you, including Jack of course.
Thank you!! It’s been a journey 😅
I love how you've each created a room to suit your individual personality and taste! The orderly, sophisticated and clean-lined for Sarah; the comfy, chaotic and kitschy for Willie.
Amazing renovation giving you fabulous individual creative spaces! Congratulations on a job brilliantly done. Well done Sarah for the fuse box cover- genius!
Amazing Transformation of the byre and great dampening with the rugs especially the blue tones of Sarah’s studio and the red zone of Willies with the rugs and red Richard byre door desk and his lovely old tartan chair.
I’m looking forward to hearing the music that inspires you over the years to come.
Very very well done.
Well done ! The Byre looks super cool ! Jack is sooo cute ❤
Hola, from Mexico ! Something that most people never think to do...is hang small-ish oriental rugs on walls !! They become instant "tapestries" ! and look amazing !!! I've done it and people are always amazed by how truly terrific and "exotic" they look up on walls. So never worry about having too many little rugs !
Your byre looks amazing! You should be proud of all the hard work and imagination it took to transform it. Love your videos.
Lovely to see the Byre finished. Love from New Zealand 🙂
Wishing you much happiness in your new studios and in your beautiful Skye Life xx🐶
Absolutely wonderful job. You’ve both really made it your own. So pleased for you 🎉 🥳
Grand job on both your spaces such hard work but well worth it tc till next week the oldies woof woof to Jack too xxx👍🤗👍🤗👍🤗
Finally having your own special space for both of you to enjoy and work in, they look fantasic you have done so well. I think Jack will be happier too. 💕🇦🇺
Absolutely amazing work on the Byre!! Love that old saying as well "Teamwork makes the dream work!" Makes me want to fix up our old shed for a crochet room!
The journey to finished studio is complete, and both sides are really really awesome and fit the spirits you are!!
Wow ... what a difference from the old byre to your new studios and work spaces... was awesome to follow ..you are both inspirational and multi talented,,
Well done Willie and Sarah! Both spaces are wonderfully put together. Since I am a lover of vintage and items from the past Willie’s studio sings to my soul. That cozy chair in the corner is perfect for sitting, relaxing and creative thought. Sarah your spot has the perfect atmosphere for creating with paint and brush. Looking forward to the next video. Have a great week and please keep safe. 😊🇨🇦
Both of your studios turned out great! I love the bright colors and those rugs, Willie! Wow. They are amazing. Jack’s dog bed is pretty and I agree, you SHOULD get him a buddy! You could rescue a senior dog and some kitty cats for the property and build them all a little house (when you build your chicken coop). 😊❤ Sarah and Willie, maybe you guys can bake your own puppy biscuits? They are pretty easy with carrots, sweet potatoes, oats and peanut butter. You don’t even have to cook them but there are plenty of recipes out there that you can bake. Who knows, maybe you can sell those, too?
Overall, you two are inspiring. I think couples like you will do well in marriage because you have your separate spaces and are both allowed to express your own styles.
Ideas to generate wealth on your property:
Plant wildflowers and dry and sell them or use them for cooking and baking and maybe even selling to local restaurants.
Plant other herbs (such as medicinals, like nettle, milk thistle (this is great for natural bird feed and butterflies), dandelion, echinacea, etc. garlic, onions, burdock root, etc.)
Start a worm or worm cast farm
Grow your own mushrooms and dry them, as well.
Keep chickens or other fowl (maybe quail) for eggs to sell/trade
Build another building and let others come and stay like a B & B
Become apiarists and use/sell honey and bee products
Whatever you do, I’m sure you’ll be successful at it. You already are! 😊❤
Love to you, Sarah, Willie, and of course, Jack🥰
Sarah - You need a bespoke large desk made from wall to wall with your drawers & file cabinets underneath it. A sleeker less cluttered look and easy to make with plywood or boards or an old door!
Also wouldn’t it be so beautiful to display a few of your bottles in a window so the light can shine through the glass?
The Byre has turned out well and I think Sarah should put a screen door on the byre door for mosquitos etc so she can also leave the door open in the summer and have the screen shut so she can have fresh air. You've made yourself two beautiful worlds in the Byre shows both your characters. You will feel better now, your home will be your home and your work place your work place it is important to separate the two. Have a great day.
Agreed, a screen would be a necessity for me. A standard screen door wouldn’t work for their door, HOWEVER, they make screen doors that are retractable now - they roll up into the side frame in much the same way as a window shade rolls up, then you pull it across when you want it closed (has a magnet closure) - a brilliant invention & would work *perfectly* for their situation!
Hi, Sarah and Willie. The byre looks amazing with all your furniture moved in! I love Jack’s new bed. See you next week.❤️❤️❤️
Big smiles all round! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love that you're settling in and making the place your own.
Nothing negative there, it's just that I'm really missing the content from both of your individual channels ❤️
All of that hard work has really paid off. I love how you've both created your own individual spaces and everything looks superb.
The. Byre has turned out beautifully. Jack’s bed is amazing.
Entire property is Gorgeous and so historic.. This fall please take us back to the nearby Kirkyard .. wee Sarah.. Let’s paint.. xxxooo
You should have used the hinges to attache it to the wall or the posts xx It all looks absolutely amazing and I love the rugs xx You won't know yourselves now. x
I raised a glass too when you completed your restoration 🥂 Slainte Folk's your a joy to watch .
Turned out fabulous 👏👏👏 and it certainly will be nice and cozy during summer or winter, well done 👏👏👍
I knew I should of sent you the egg boxes!I think Jack spaniels was worried you were on the move again when he went in the cupboard.Lovely video .
I think, like you Sarah, that you can not be sure where to put stuff, until you start putting the stuff in the place! I do not think you are indecisive. I just think you know when something is right, and it just takes a little time to get there, but that you get there in the end, and that is all good. Love Jack's new bed for the byre - just perfect. xxx
Congratulations on your new studio spaces. You’ve done a brilliant job converting the Byre. It was great to see it finished last week but there is real joy in then getting your stuff in and making it your own. It'll be great to have the cottage as your relaxing space rather than as workspace. Now you really are home!
Hi Sarah & Willie ,Jack Spaniel Your Studios Looks Lovely
Excellent! It came out great. I'm so glad you changed your mind and used the "door desk" in the byre. I was yelling at the screen for you to do that...I guess you heard me. 😂 I love repurposing things like that. I think Jack deserves his ginormous bed. He is, after all, the star of the show. 😉 Thanks again for including us in all the fun 😊
You guys have done an amazing job on your “boat house” and byre/outbuilding. Love both your studio decors and JS’s bed!! Very Happy for you!! Xx
I will join with others in saying well done! both of you, not forgetting Jack spaniel, he gets his own well done!
Love these videos so much, ❤❤❤💞
Hi sarah and willie and of course jack spaniels. We love your video's love the beautiful location's on skye and can't wait to see what you do Next . We've just had a holiday on skye and we bumped into richard who was lovely we told him to say to you how much we love watching your videos and how brilliant you convert and expand your stunning cottage.Keep up with the video's and fulfil your dreams.Give Jack a cuddle from us too.Sue and Mark Manchester.xx
Aww thanks so much! Yeah we heard you met the legend that is Richard 😅
Loving the Byre! What a transformation....tons of hard graft and you can see the results! Perfect reuse of the old byre door. Those rugs are gorgeous...score! A lovely wingback in which to sit and ponder. Jack Spaniels will make good use of that dog bed. He'll be able to fit a good piece of wood in there, and still have room to snooze. Love all the touches in Sarah's section of the byre too. Reusing that medicine cabinet was also a neat way to cover the fuse box. Hugs to all from Canada 🇨🇦
It looks so cozy in the byer. I feel that Jack’s bed is the perfect size❤
Great job on the Byre! Such amazing touches on both sides. And I love Jack's new super-sized nap station 😊😊
Both spaces could not be more different.
They're very personal, creative and yet so functional.
Perfect 😘👌congratulations! 🥂
(if Jack's bed is too big, you could just use the insert alone)
Looks brilliant after all your hard work. Obviously, Jack’s supervisory skills are very noticeable! Just love his new bed and I bet he’s looking forward to loads of cuddles. Well done.
So, a tip for your voice overs; Buy a storage cube and add some acoustic foam inside, on 4 sides put your mic in and speak into it. It’s called a studio in a box, voilà! I hope this helps.
Everything looks so nice and cozy. 😊
What a transformation! If I were in Sarah's studio that desk would go at right angle to the wall so I could be looking out the door. You look right at home.
Brilliantl..what a fantastic job you’ve made of the Byre !! …I hope you both have much enjoyment in the special places you’ve built ..well done ❤️…
i think Jack likes the camara he acts like he knows all the focus is on him when the camara points at him lol. yall have done a great job on the extra buildings and it makes the property alot more valuable.
Rooms look fantastically individual to suit your tastes, I love them. ❤️ perfect 🥰 💞 love Alex still living the Fife life ❤️ xxxx
Wow what a lot of hard work you did to get to this moment! No one is more deserving of this wonderful adventure than you three. When I was a kid I always ate what I liked the most, last on my plate and it is the same with your videos. I savor them and watch them at just the right time. Your videos are especially great to watch just before I go to sleep as it leaves me with joy and happiness. Hugs from Canada!!!
Nice effect showing side by side the contrasting rooms with Sarah emptying one and moving into the other..
Soooo good to see you finally installed in the byre. The drum kit made me smile: our boys got a second hand kit in their teens, were quickly relegated to the shed, and started Shed Productions 😂. Have fun folks. You’ve earned it!
These rugs are beautiful 😍
Love how you repurpose lots of things! What a great job you have done and I love Jack and Sarah’s new bed! 😅
Yay a su day update. Love jack and sarahs new bed! Im so envious of the view from your office. Youve put so much hard work in to this, I hope you enjoy your new workspace x
Thanks!! We love it, although the view is a bit distracting 😅🤦♀️
What a great job you've all done. So enjoyed seeing the renovation and the ever-changing, but always stunning scenery of Skye.
Willie let me down at 24:09 i was screaming at the screen, didn't even mention the rock god, but then all was forgiven, he saved the best till last 🙌all hail the Lizard King, you'll never be forgotten Jim. Well done on the move, it won't only make editing and creating easier, the cottage will feel like a new home again.
Love the content, it's great, made so much better by Jack. The expressions on his face are brilliant, especially when told he could not get on the bed in the spare room. The expressions was, what! Are you sure. Love it, love him he is cute, and very amusing. Thanks for the content.
I love Willie's "I'm a serious drummer" face and Sarah and Jack Spaniel cuddled up in the dog bed/couch! Great job on the Byre!
Fantastic . You had a dream and made it come true . Made possible also by working from home and doing TH-cam for extra income .. waking up to that view with a morning cuppa is amazing and all your hard work has paid off . The right timing / money and hard work and positivity have all come together to realise this xx well done
Spectacular! You have worked so hard & it is so beautiful. Sarah, I have had several online purchases that weren't what I expected. Firstly, numbers are not my friends. Inches, ounces, millimeters, grams, centimeters, gauge are all numbers. Not my fault! You cannot be expected to know that the seller deals in Wolfhounds when you innocently ask for a medium. Not your fault! Cheers & big love!
Well done on the completion of your studios. Although they are very different they are both cosy and decorated beautifully. I also love going on adventures with you both, and thankyou for showing us all how to take care of our beautiful world. I honestly don't think I would get much work done in your room Sarah, I would probably be looking out at that beautiful view. Looking forward to more videos and seeing Willy cooking. ❤
So good to have your creative space 🎉 thanks for sharing
Brilliant job guys 👌❤the byre look amazing you both must be delighted. Stay safe and take care ❤
Huge round of applause. Well done the three of you. It will be nice to see you both enjoying your hobbies. The environment should help inspire the both of you. Like I have said before, it will be especially nice to see Sarah start painting. Thanks for the trip so far guys. I look forward to many more hours of your lives on Skye.
We can’t wait to start being creative again, instead of doing building work all the time haha! 😅
I love how your “hi folks” is in harmony…🥰
That's such an amazing set up. I am insanely jealous of your new life. Living the dream!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations!!!!! Sarah your space is so much larger and you now have lots of room for your various work stations and to work in! Love the colours you have on your walls!!! And that Jack Spaniels has a spot aka huge bed also! Willie your music studio is great!!! I love how you came up with such supper ways to deaden the sound. It works quite well. I also collect old bottles And love that you both included your in your individual spaces. Love what you created!!!
I absolutely adore the way you decorated the byre!! Both sides really reflect your personalities so well. Really looks good and feels good when you walk into it your creative juices start flowing. Really envious. I’m happy for both of you. 💜😎🤗🫶🇺🇸
Your both reaping the rewards of you and your two friends hard work , look's "Smath tha Sin" ( Very Good ) in Gaelic or in English now "Smashin" 👍
Sarah, you could also turn your desk to face the door, with chair against dividing wall. Possibly give you more direct light.
I love your your beautiful work space, you guy are a great team, just love you all and jacks bed is awesome! Just love your happy home and all you do !
Great job on the cottage! The red 'door desk' goes well in the music room, it has that rustic vibe. ❤ the bottle collection as well, the cobalt glass is my favourite.
Cool idea for the former medicine cabinet! The art room looks great. Jack S must ❤ his new bed.😊
I’d probably add one of your prints, over the mirror of that cabinet hiding the fuse box. It’s quite a gorgeous calming space. Beautiful art works.
Lovely decorations. Very different styles, but hopefully exam as each of you likes and gets inspired by.
Amazing rugs!! What a find!! A tip for cleaning them, DONT let anyone steam clean them! Real Afghan rugs will run their dye if anyone steam cleans them in the traditional carpet cleaning way. Get a carpet cleaner who knows how to safely clean them in a way that doesn’t let moisture run the dyes into each other. I have a big afghan rug and learnt that from a very trusty carpet cleaner!
Great foreshadowing getting a dog bed big enough for two dogs!
Great job just perfect for what you both wanted Jack's bed very nice too. Well done again 👏
Love the bed for jack, its looks so nice and how many of us have made that some mistake, yup all of us.
