So, come with me as I do a small bit of Autumn decorating, and visit a Christmas event in The Garden House Malahide, and see what home decor pieces I get.

Fab vlog Catherine! Most enjoyable! 👍
Thanks so much! 😊
Indoor cats can live up to 10 years longer than outdoor cats 👌
The “C” word is Christmas. The most important celebration in history. Sad that many love holidays based on what it gives them. Christmas is the gift to us. 🙏Let us not forget that.
I disagree, with the idea of people only like Christmas based on what it gives them materially. I think many people appreciate the gift of spending time with friends and family, more now after everything that they have gone through over the years. That time of year can also put financial pressure on family's which is why I try to not mention it too soon.
and Mrs T Lovely video the kittens have grown since your last video noticed it immediatly so cute.
There is the option of a cattio if you want the cats to be able to come outside with you but no risk of other cats or the birds. A fun DIY project too, they can be attached to a window or cat flap with a tunnel. Made of mesh so they can get the smells of outside but head back in if they get scared.
Love this idea! I was telling her on another U.K. channel I watch Kay attaches her kitties leashes to the Laundry line when she’s out in the yard, they seem to love it! The channel is LIVING THE LIFE YOU LOVE*
Yes the mirror idea! We have a Big rectangle mirror in our stairway, perfect
YES that's what I said too! I suggested that in another video of the kitties when she first got them but she hasn't responded to that comment. It would such fun to see her creativity and woodworking skills making a catio for the furry ones.
I watch Kay too Kelli and just made same comment x
Put the pumpkin garland in the greenhouse!
I have a Birman who is a house cat. He does go out on a lead and really enjoys walking round the garden. ❤
Make your pumpkin thing into a wreath to hang on or above a door.
You are so cute. I love watching your videos. ❤
Glad you like them! xxxx
❤❤❤
I suggested a catio in another video of the kitties when you Cathryn first got the furry ones. Maybe you haven't seen that comment but it really would be such fun to see your creativity and woodworking skills making a catio for the furry ones. You office window overlooking garden would be perfect place for it.
It would be pretty to have your staircase open to the living room. Hanging a big mirror in the staircase and a pendant light would really bring up the light level.
Yes, the light would reflect against the mirror illuminating this space more
I thought the same - big mirror and a chandelier!
Maybe frost the glass in the bookcase!
On your long wall in stairwell, I see a gallery wall of mirrors...pretty frames holding mirrors...
Another YES vote for big mirror and pendant - I'd even say: a chandelier - in the hallway!
Have you looked at having a light tunnel instead of a skylight, they really do work fantastically to provide light in awkward places.
On the wall
Chalk painting them sounds great❤
Aww Toffee looks like he wants new little friends! How sweet, I’m sure they’ll play together!
🙋♀️❤️
Great Show as always! Another great channel is LIVING THE LIFE YOU LOVE and she has a similar U.K. backyard as yours AND she has 2 Ragdoll kitties and she has them in the yard with her, she has a laundry line she attaches the leashes from, they love it!
Thanks again!
9:30 tube lights? bust into that kitchen ...
😊😊😊
mirrors up light ooooohhhh what a FUN cat castel ....u could make in that cabinet ❤
A big window mirror would definitely lighten the hall you might need a professional to advise you
Just love watching the kittens playing while you make your bed ❤😂
Chaos trying to make the bed 🥹😁😁😁😁
@@DaintyDiaries If you have cats making the bed is fitness. At least here it is 🤣
If they're anything like mine they'll generally always be together, or at least always protect each other. I may have one asleep on the bed with me and hear cat growls outside, and if he ignores it I know its someone else, if he jumps up to rush out to save the day, I know he's off to save his sister. Jokes on the other guys, the white terror is on the way to save the floof!
Awww that is so cute! Little protector 🥹
17:33 it could be added to a grapeview wreath n hung on a door like the one beside u...that would be kitten friendly...u could paint the orange ones ...white 😊
I locked my kitten into my bedroom cupboard for more than half a day once and I was crying cause i couldnt find her. Eventually i heard a fant cry from the cupboard. 😂 I was so happy to find her. I love your kitties. So playful. ❤
Agree with comments about a pendant light in the hallway going down…I have a similar stairwell. It was fun watching you and Karen on her video in the morning and then you and Karen again in the afternoon on your video….🤎🧡💛🐈⬛
Aww I’m glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for stopping by xx
Why not change the light fixture to a hanging style that is brighter. Not sure how easy it would be to clean a mirror hanging over the stairwell.
I'd leave that greenhouse out all year and decorate it seasonally. It's so cute.
Yes! Will be cute around Easter time x
@@DaintyDiaries Yes. Adorable
I still have bulbs to plant not sure if the time is up once they’ve had all their injections they should be ok for outside I know what you mean when I had my kittens they were already used to outside had to try and bribe them to come back indoors not so much in the winter they liked their warmth on the end of my bed
Here in the U.S. we have solar tubes that let the sunlight in.
Iv never heard of those x
Like having a light on and much cheaper and easier to install than a skylight
AWWW, the new babies are so beautiful! Seeing their little sleepy space under the bed, and them playing on the old sheets when you changed the bed, and sharing the bed on your desk, is so sweet.
I’m glad that you had a nostalgic moment in the car remembering when you got offered your book deal. It was a significant and awesome moment.❤
Yeah, love a good memory to make us pause and reflect x
The leash idea is a good one. Take them on a lead to where you want them to go. It's what I did when I moved here by a main road. My cat has always been an outdoor cat and, I worried she would go on the road. For several weeks I took her away from the road up to a field. She never goes near the road now.
What about replacing the glass with mirror (cabinet) and hang a "dainty" chandelier.?
Their shoopers lol the kittens are to cute!!
So happy for you with your sweet kittens❤❤❤
They’re just the cutest 😍😍
Hi Danity have you thought of a light tunnel which goes from your roof to the landing and lays flat on you roof
Those kittens are sooo adorable❤
Wall lights and mirrors, Catherine, for your hallway x
shops are already proudly displaying Christmas decor for sale here in Malta.
I always enjoy your videos especially those little fur babies of yours.❤❤
How about a lightwell in the ceiling.
What about a light tunnel in your hall, it's flat on outside so not seen and let's light in my sister has one then mirror to bounce light round
For your small area, possible add an electrical outlet. Could put a corner stand and place a nice table light. Happy decorating 🍁
A sun tunnel would bring in natural light, very affordable and easy to install. Just an idea 😊
I had a little google of these and they are a great idea x
Not too early. I decorate for Autumn in September Because I decorate early for Christmas. I have more Christmas decor and it takes this old body a while to get it out. And I want to enjoy it for the whole month of December. Your Christmas decorating may be different this year with your new helpers. My cats and dogs are seniors and I still lose a few things off the tree every year.
Could you put a window, and it will let the light from the bedroom into that space.
It's never too 'early' for Christmas! Love seeing your new babies. I rescued 2 kittens last August after I lost my black cat Frankie in the spring. They've brought me so much joy. My girls are Pippi, a tux and Poppet, a calico. They were bonded when I got them and it's so fun to watch them. Just a word of caution, which you most likely already know, but careful with diffusers as some can be toxic to cats especially little ones. Have a lovely autumn and a Merry Christmas!
I adore their names! Thanks for sharing x
The Garden Center Christmas, so much fun!
🎀
Happy you enjoyed it x
My 15 yr old cats still does the same thing when I make the bed🥰 I remember when you announced your book release…seems like so long ago. Congratulations on all that you’ve accomplished from your book to your television appearances.
That is so so kind of you, thank you x
Those kittens are so so cute 😺
Very happy looking kittens! There are tube skylights that work the same, smaller version of a skylight. Nice option for a small space.
It’s never too early to do anything, 🍁 we decorate when we feel like it , you go girl 🥰
Love this! X
That's a lovely mirror, would look great on the wall to right of cabinet on striped wallpaper. Wall sconces would look nice going down stairs in bathroom wall if there is a way to plug in or wire in.
I love all the christmas Decor 🎄 💕
Me too, love the twinkle x
Christmas is just gonna creep up 😍
I’ve had my cozy autumnal decor sneak in from mid September. The more Halloween bits have only really popped up 2nd week of October. I’ve a box of stuff for each season in the attic.
This is my husband’s favourite season, I love Christmas, I’ll be de transitioning early November 😊
My daughter has two house cats and after a year she let them go in the garden with her and luckily they didn’t try to get over the fence they were scared of leaving her side but now 9 yrs later they just walk around the garden when she’s out but won’t go any further than that.
Aww they’re so cute they just stay where they are most comfortable 🥹♥️
Aw that is sweet, Blondie was like that, she stayed close to home x
I hunk your new bed set has a autumn vibe with the delicate pattern. It’s very pretty. The kittens are soooo cute.
Dang auto correct I meant think
Thank you Amy xxx
Start putting little harnesses on them so their used to it for next spring.
SO COZY 🤍 I strive to be this kind of comfy in my videos 😍
I really enjoyed this video. It made me feel all cozy and festive. You just have such an easy way of vlogging and doing voiceovers. It puts me in a state of relaxing. Loved the shot of Toffee and B&B at the window, cuteness overload. 🐱🐱🐱🐱❤️❤️❤️🌼🌸🌺 👍👍👍
Aw I really appreciate that, happy you find them relaxing x
Beautiful sheet set..that would make me happy too!!
Maybe for you random but I truly enjoyed the visit. Thanx for popping in. Hubby is watching world cup rugby. SA and France and i needed something else to stay awake😂😂. Love the tine house decor and yes yes yes for the greenhouse idea❤
Aww I’m so glad to hear that! You and the hubby have it down to a T! 😍🤣👌
🙏🏻🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I love your new duvet cover and slips, very pretty. Your kittens are so cute, sw sweet that they are wherever you are until they get sleepy. I love seeing Christmas inspiration , definitely not too early.
Thank you! 😊
If / when you decide to let your little kittens outside, put butter on the underneath of their paws. Their scent will linger in the butter and they'll find their way back to the house ❤
Ooh that’s such a good idea!! Thanks so much 👌😍
It's a bit of an expense, but have you considered interior windows from either the bedroom or bathroom to allow light to fill the staircase? Think of the way a transom window works.
Lighting, mirror if you want but I reckon drop in a large open chandelier, hanging pendant, or directional spotlights. Yay on storage. Big thumbs up.
Make a wreath out of the garland. Paint the orange ones and add some fall leaves.. Love the babies being on camera!
Hang that big mirror that you have on one of the walls at the top of the stairs. Install a bigger light fixture, like a crystal chandelier. Give the garland with orange pumpkins to Karen. Girl ain’t got time to be recovering tiny orange pumpkins! 🤣🤣🤣
Battery operated sconces, artwork/painting lights, or a plug in pendant light?
I have a catio for my cat to go outside. She exits through a cat door bought from Amazon. She goes into a 11 x 13 cage. She lays in the sun and watches birds and other cats. Maybe a spring time build project for you😊. Never too early to decorate, either.
I let my cats out in my backyard. Everyone tells me not to…they’ll get killed, they’ll kill birds, they’ll get fleas, etc., but I’ve had cats my whole life and they are just so much happier and fulfilled when they go outside, and none of the bad things ever happen anyway. My cat did kill a mouse a couple months ago…somehow the world went on. I cut out a fort for them in the Jerusalem Artichokes each summer. They love it.
Do not put a mirror on that big wall in the stair case. Remember mirrors should only reflect something pretty. Have a hanging light put in that space. Maybe a pretty chandelier. And then put mirrors in your cabinet to reflect that pretty light
Have you thought about a Sun Tunnel, planning permission usually ‘no’ (UK) but worth looking into. Love your home and your videos, they are so relaxing, my go too when I wan to chill 😘
The mirror above the stair case would be nice, and replace the single bulb lighting with maybe a cute chandelier for lighting.
I have a catio for my Cat Nation. It has a bistro set I can sit at for morning coffee, and cat sun baking. Catios can came with tarps for shelter as well. In addition I have hanging pots which I grow my strawberries and herbs in which keeps them safe from birds etc. I also walk my cat rulers on leads. Walking is not quite the right word, its more like rolling and frequent lying around. Start inside with a harness and lead and see how they go. Good luck!
You can hang a mirror and what about a beautiful chandelier hanging at the top of the stairs? You can also add wall sconces that can be turned on by remotes…..Amazon!! Love your videos and those kittens are soooo sweet!
I’m trying so hard not to buy anything this year deciding to make do with what I have also following your idea of making my own velvet pumpkins
The shrubs in the decorative pots at the garden centre are called euonymus 🥰
Hope you consider getting your kitties used to being on a harness, there's a youtuber in the North of England she has two ragdoll cats (sorry can't remember the name of the channel) but its so cute watching them both pottering around the garden 🐈🐈🌻🙏😐
Your kitties playing on the bed brought back memories of my darling 15 yr old beautiful persian who used to "come to life" on sheet changing day and thought he was a kitten again. Why not put a light on that piece of wall as you come down the stairs. We are in for a very hot spring and summer in Australia each year getting hotter.
Which of the Pickwick triplets did, which of the three did commit this crime...
I love Gemma Louise Miles too and watch her as well. Thank you for sharing ❤😊
Thanx for sharing another great video lovely to see the kitties am sure they will get on with Toffeexx
How about a tube light? You put it in the ceiling and it brings in so much light. Put it in the top of the stairs that hallway area. Mirrors on the far stair wall and a beautiful chandelier over the stairs
Cathryn, please can you share information on your audio video equipment, and any recommendations for sound equipment for someone only able to record from their phone? Thank you!
The Rode brand is really good, and they have a wide range of mics that can be connected to your phone, I don't know your model but you could research their web site to see what's best.
@@DaintyDiaries thank you
I hope at some point you can have them out in the garden and they're big enough. Maybe just while you're out there and then we'll come in, but there's nothing better than a gardening kitty, I've had several at such great company
Maybe paint your stairway the same color as your bedroom and add a modern chandelier to catch the light .
A mirror wold definitely make the space lighter feeling. X
Hi Catherine. Ban and beag are adorable. Do u watch living the life you love? Kay has two cats and she lets them out on a leash attached to the washing line. They are older cats but maybe u could do the same in the future x
Definitely keep your kitties inside till at least spring..
your lovely home is big enough 🌄
let them be inside outside cats.. when they are much bigger.. and as you say have them in the garden on nice days in the spring and summer 💕
Yes, they are so so tiny now, I couldn't imagine them outside x
Put pumpkin garland on your guest bed headboard 😊
25:06 that bear shelf is just darling!
Isn't it just so so cute!
I’m sure they will the cat isn’t spitting at them through the window
Battery operated light sconces with a mirror in between?
At the top of the stairs could you put a bench seat with storage it is always nice to have somewhere to drop stuff before you put it away then you can put a mirror above it
I love your idea of putting a big mirror in the stairs well! My house is on the dark side, so I put several mirrors around and it works wonders!!
Mirrors are perfect for the light and small spaces! 😍
Oh you’re gonna have fun with a Christmas tree and two kittens this year. 😆
