    The gate on the fence of the orchard is stunning. You are so brave to have forged this beautiful life that fits you, rather than forcing yourself to fit the mold. None of us really fit it, but we sometimes think we should and we strive and wonder why we aren't happy. Bravo to all the brave souls who forge a new fulfilling, unique path. (So adorable when the kitten jumped off your back while you were painting.) Your home is lovely!

Live long and prosper Paola...Congrats on your fast approaching wedding....big hug xx

    When you were talking about people who have inspired you, I remembered how you inspired me last winter. In a video which you showcased books in the bookstore that you thought were beautiful, you showed this collection of Austen novels, with this lilac cover embellished with painted flowers. I fell completely in love with the edition and slyly pointed it out to my mother, who got the hint and handed it to me on Christmas. I spent the whole day reading it. If I had never clicked on that video, I would've never seen that book, nor your channel, both which have brought me a lot of peace on hard days. So thank you :)

    Sweetie you are so hard on yourself. Please don't apologize for shaking or say you are sorry for how you are filming something. You have done something most people do not, you have invited strangers into your home! You share with us how to open up and be ourselves. This is much more important than how steady a video is. Thank you so much for sharing with us. I have purchased from your etsy shop a couple times and loved everything I have purchased, they are more than I ever expected. Enjoy your new home, make it yours and God Bess.

    Don't worry about the shaking. I imagine myself as a neighbor stopping by to say hello, and you're generously inviting me in. I'm nervous because everything is so pretty. Furthermore, I am shaking as I look around while telling myself "don't be clumsy and break anything cause she won't invite you back!". 😄 Thanks for inviting us in. Great job!

    just watched your forest home video and enjoyed this so much. My husband also was happy to let me be free to decorate our house. He has done all the woodworking which was his special gift. Now 60 years later l still love my home and it is full of all the things we love. Over the years it has been amusing to see people's reactions. some said it gave them a good feeling. some felt they had to say it was not their taste and others said nothing. l truly do not mind what they think or care. So do not ever change. I am 80 now and always thinking of new things l want to do. I so much enjoy all your videos and thank you.

You deserve great love, don't change anything, your healing and soothing to me. Cutest sweetest kitty ever! Just like you! I'm so glad you are sharing your music!!!! I was just thinking that a week ago about your videos, and you are now sharing that, so cool. I also am ordering the book you showed on making herbal teas from scratch.

    when you said you needed a sofa.... I immediately saw an old iron daybed filled with lots of layers and textures of old linens, lace and different pillows. Also was happy to see Miss Potter was on your list of favorite movies. Every time they showed her upstairs bedroom, I would swoon. I would imagine myself living in that cozy little sanctuary at the top of the stairs. It was such a magical space which would foster such inspiration and creativity. Pure heaven.

I love lemon and lime fruit trees.
    Your wedding was so beautiful to watch - beautiful lace made dress and your beautiful boquet all hand picked as well. My Mum loved hand picked flowers and hand made twigs in her basket and wearing her beautiful handmade dress.

    I will do a walk through detailed tour on Instagram next month ❤️ what you didn’t see was the little bathroom/washroom and a small room currently with personal items that belong to my fiancé, so I will not share that here for privacy 🥰. You can find videos showing the upstairs here. I didn’t show it because I recently made videos on it 🥰

    As someone who'd been deeply interested in interior design my whole life, and studied it on my own for the last 2ish years - I find more value in your points of view than a lot of other places. So many things feel artificial, shallow, and fast fading and that part of the interior design world doesn't sit right with me.
    I love how your home is turning out. The wood tones with the green feel so cozy and beautiful.

    Tip for you DearHeart, if you find beautiful old hankies while thrifting. Grab them, when you have enough, you can make curtains, table runners, table clothes, runners for your dresser tops...and what ever else you can think of. Even sachets! I'm a thrifter too. And a dollar store shopper😊. My husband after getting married made me a shelf for the bathroom, to hold my bits and pieces. It was prefect, I painted it bright blue with some ceramic paints, then free handed tiny leaves and flowers all around the edges and back. And used matte gloss to set them in place. It turned out adorable. And my husband looked at and said you have talent I didn't know about...it's really lovely.😊 Things I haven't done in a long time now. Being a wife and mom of one kept me busy and now I don't have the money for a lot of the artistic things I used to do😕. And sometimes my fingers ache too much. But I do love to color . Your home is lovely just like you are.😊💟💖🐇🐈🐕🌷🌸🌷🌸🍃🍃🍃

    I’m a fairly new subscriber and haven’t commented on any of your posts until now, despite being enchanted by all of them. But, I felt like I had to reach out today, because I have developed such a strong kinship with you & your journey. I too experienced something devastating at 21, but it was so heartbreaking that it broke my soul. I simply survived for years, until I finally received the help I needed to move past it. As a result, it took me decades to actually realize who I am and what I needed in my life. Finally, at 64, I can finally say that I have accepted the real me and embraced what I need to feel safe, content & fulfilled, which is a home full of sunshine, flowers, bunnies, and birds. My own “English Garden.”
    The fact that you’ve experienced and overcome trauma and pain at such a young age, is incredible & inspiring. The fact that as a result of the pain you lived through, you have found such beauty in life is almost miraculous. And the fact that you are able to share your journey in such a gentle, encouraging and loving way is beautiful! And your art resonates with that beauty! Thank you for allowing us a peak through a window into your soul, because yours is so precious!💞

    Very lovely home. You've chosen soft and peaceful colors. The green paint and natural stained window frames go beautifully together. Is it possible to let us know the paint color, window frame stain color and floor color. Lol. I'm decorating challenged. Haaa. It's true. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to seeing the updates of your other rooms. Stay well in your new home. 🏡💕

    Thank you for giving me permission to decorate my home in the style of my imagination. I have been afraid of being judged, looking whacky, whimsical or odd, but you have given me confidence to start on my main room. I have considered the style for a long while, but never been brave enough to put it into practice. You have given me courage!

    The move to a new house from your cottage makes this channel even more real and genuine. In a sense that your channel is about your life. I saw a lot of slow living channel these couple of years but many feels they just following a trend. But yours is more of a reality. Now you are starting your own family on a new home. What more can make this channel genuine? ❤

    Thank you for your words at the end of the video. I think I also have a unique personality and of course everyone has a different personality. But thank you again. Your words made me realize that I don't need to see things from other people's perspectives because that only makes me ashamed to show my true self. I hope I can live my life the way I dream!Thank you so much!

    I love the scene of the dog and cat trying to follow you up into the tree. The flowers in your hair are magnificent. Your painting is so exquisite. And, you are much too hard on yourself! The panoramic shot was just fine!! You have such gifts and ways of expressing beauty and pulling things from nature that so many of us simply do not and while we would never want you to become arrogant, please be confident in knowing that your channel provides so much joy and a sense of peacefulness in this otherwise crazy world. I wish you and your fiance all the best in your beautiful little haven in the woods. 🌼🌼
