If I were you, I would spend the next few months weatherproofing windows, doors, and walls, and installing a new heater. This way you can stay warm for longer during the winter and come back earlier in the spring. Save some of your indoor projects for when it gets cold, like fixing up the kitchen.
Anyway, it's been fun to watch you overturn this whole cottage, your drive and passion is really inspiring, you should be very proud of yourself. I'm looking forward to seeing what you'll do next.
Exactly what I was thinking. Winter window covers/screen covers of some sort (like shutters) could really help with this.
@@sorchaoconnor3750 She can start very easily by changing sealing strips on all doors and windows, and apply caulking in wall and floor gaps. But more time consuming projects like adding window shutters and changing wall isolation in places she hasn't yet, will be worth it too.
exactly, cosmetics can wait but warmth shouldn't. Don't suffer for aesthetic
Watching all she's done. I thought oh she could just make square and octagon wood frame and seal off with plastic and the curtain she already has. Get rid of the wood stove for safety. Get the small propane inside little tanks. Whatever she does will be amazing. Will enjoy her progress or just her holding still in filming whatever it is she's doing in the moment. Awesome clothes also what a great deal.

Talk about turning a house into a home! I've followed this journey and have fallen in love with the leisurely transformation a space can go thru when a person doesn't get stressed or in a hurry to get thru a project. You've taken your time and now have a beautiful sanctuary just for yourself and those you choose to share your time with.
@@antonboludo8886 hopefully she tossed the ponytailed soyboy and will get herself a ponytailed 'man' like her girl crush isabel....who pretends girl play but ain't really😉.....so sorry children
@@jimpowers2047 I had a stroke reading this, what "ponytailed soyboy" are you talking about, also no one uses the term soyboy anymore
Hannah you should be very PROUD of Yourself. Theres not too many Young Girls or Boys that are as far as You in theres lives. You done a great job on your home.. And for the Life of Me I cant figure out WHY ANYONE would give you a thumbs down on this. Let alone 45 people. It just goes to show you how JEALOUS these people are. Instead of getting off there ASS and doing something with their lives they Condone others.. Unfortunately this is the norm in this messed up Country....God Bless You Girl for all Your accomplishments and keep up the Great work. And dont let the haters get you down THEY ARE NOT WORTH IT...They live in Mommy and Daddys basement and dont have a LIFE. Great Video Kiddo. Thank You for sharing it...
@@jimpowers2047 Poor little man. Threatened by female friendships and gay men. Get yourself an incel trophy.
She is an AMAZING woman!!!
"if it becomes a problem, then it becomes a problem, and I'll deal with it" loveee the attitude ❤️🧘♀️
I would personally invest in a new small wood stove now. You would be able to stay longer, use less wood, stay warmer and can work on all those inside projects in the cooler weather. I think it would be a great investment to do now before winter sets in.
You should be proud of yourself. You have really turned this place into such a cozy cottage.
Go with a wood / coal stove, less expensive to run and you’ll be amazed by the heat .....I’ve been watching your videos for a long time , you’re very talented and your cottage looks very homey & Comfy.....Keep up the good work....
Love it all! FYI: those window coverings you're making for the screens on the porch, install them on the outside or else the snow and rain could still get through the screen, pile up behind the curtains and eventually push them forward allowing snow and rain inside. Been there done that. Learned my lesson. Lol
Good point!
Yeah, she can make them like something that's easy to just roll up, for when not in use..
Agree, I was thinking the same thing. Maybe she can also put hooks on the bottom too, so they can stay down and dont go flying when it gets windy
@@lisalbers230
That or weights
As I see, Hannah's got a lot of storage room available.
So, being her, I would consider to add something to her own idea: Measure all the windows holes of that inner porch, get clear acrylic glass sheets cut in shape, and put them in wood frames which can be mounted tightly fitting in a way to be taken out as soon as the weather becomes comfy, an be stored in the second cabin or in the shed, as plexiglass is not that heavy.
Their advantages are to really keep snow out, let the light in, and add a bit to insulation.
Have you considered making shutters to the outside? They are easy to make and they would look really good. Loved the tour, so love the cottage. Looking forward to the next installment. Stay safe J.
That's a great idea!
Yes, was thinking that too.
That would be beautiful!
Great idea!!
👏👏👏👏👏
I can't wait for the time you start doing the second building. It's such a big space compared so it'll be interesting to see what you'll eventually do with it. I love the color combinations and the cozy cottage feel you've created.
I think the first thing she’ll have to do is have a yard sale because everything that came out of the cozy cabin went to the dance hall. 🤷♀️🤣🤣❤️🇨🇦
@@giterdone9013 True😂
I feel like the cottage reflects your own personal transformation and journey. I’ve been watching you for a few years now and I feel like you’ve really grown into your own and become so confident. You are right where you need to be. The cottage is lucky to have you.
We had a porch like that on our Montgomery Ward kit house log cabin turned home. I went wild at tag sales for shutters and mounted them on the outside for snow and rain. I had done the curtains like you are doing but wind still sends snow inside that way, but shutters on the outside kept it out. I also found that the shutters did not have to go all the way up because of the roof overhang and so there was still great light. Projects never end when you are as creative as you are. I always love your vids. TY
i was just coming to the comments to say shutters are probably a better idea!
What about plastic or acrylic sheets, to keep the view during rainy or snowy days?
Old 1970 closet doors would work as well.
You have every reason to be proud. You’ve transformed a ramshackle cabin into an adorable home. Can’t wait for the day you can get a new wood stove. If you get one with a blower, in the summer you can put a bag of ice into a metal bucket and place it inside, turn on the blower and you have air conditioning. I had a friend who sold Buck Stoves who showed me that trick. Honestly, it was so cool in his showroom in the heat ofAugust you could have worn a sweater! Enjoy your cottage!
Great idea there!
OMG...I have blower on mine and this is a fab idea!
@@ravenwildspirit , use a metal bucket. Keeps the ice cooler longer. And if you pick up one of those ice making machines off Amazon, you won’t even have to buy ice. I was actually cold in the hottest days of August in his shop. Pretty amazing.
@@susandunaway8290 thank you💖
Everyone here has great ideas! Didn't know that was possible
I love that the whole house is a little tiny bit imperfect and wonky, in the best way possible - it makes it feel so homey and lovely oml
The whole cottage’s aesthetic is so soothing and inspiring at the same time 🌱😍
She's come a long way. Especially considering that she's done it mostly on her owe, learning as she goes. That girl has every right to be proud! 😎
I think it's so refreshing to see someone just trying things!!! We do not have to be perfect at something we just started doing!!!!
If Hannah didn't have a successful TH-cam channel, she could be a success in interior design! JUST WOW!! 😍😍😍
Why not both!!
Get a soapstone wood stove. They burn less wood and retain heat longer.
I just have some things I need to say: first of all, I absolutely love your personality, it’s amazing. Second, I want to live in a cottage in the woods alone and this is literal house goals oml. And lastly you have a very beautiful singing voice, I love billy currington songs
I've traveled with you through your adventures for over a year, and even though you have created all those successful home and Walter 'projects' I don't think you've fully realized how impressively you've matured as a video pre-producción 'visualizer' / stage-er / presenter / and editor. I thank you so much for including us in your life. (Yes, I understand it's your job and income-maker, but you could have applied those talents showcasing others, but you've included is in YOUR life; so THANK YOU and continued blessings)
I reamember her buying the cabin and now it's like a work of art
I have seen every episode since the start, you've done well! Oh, that wood stove, need better air intake control. I built a brick wall behind mine, clear to the ceiling, then a stove with a top chimney and 0 clearance, the bricks got warm and didn't matter if the fire went out at night, stayed warm!
We have a brick wall behind our wood stove as well. Makes a big difference!
I can’t believe it’s been a whole year already. It looks so much bigger and brighter now. I love it xx
Hannah, love following your precious life. I too live in a cute country cottage which includes mice and assorted insects. I found that mixing peppermint and lavender essential oils (the less expensive kind) in a spray bottle of water and spritz this everywhere repels the little house hunters. Now spritz yourself all the time and nothing bites, put it in a diffuser and your house will smell lovely
Lavenders are amazing. Planting lavender or putting a bundle of lavender in front of windows, doors also help
There's something satisfying about owning you own home and property. Then to remodel and create your own nest is the icing on the cake for sure.
Most satisfying thing about owning your own home, not having to pay rent that costs more than a mortgage 🥺
@@toastcrumbsinmybed9841 I bet she doesn’t have a lot of bills either like this is legit a good life. I hope to live it one day
She makes this life seem possible. I really want to do this. So tired of the rent and city life
@@michaelarankin2769 for real.. this is the life..
“Two bugs mating on my leg…I feel USED.” Hahahaha I loled
Such a sweet and unique home! A lot of effort, but very little cost. So smart!
Can’t believe this means I’ve been watching your stuff for over a year already! And I’ve loved everything you put out since! 🥺 I’m so happy your cabin, now cottage, is feeling much more homey for you aaah you’re amazing Hannah!!! 🧡
you’re seriously the only person i watch on youtube that makes the content you do. it’s nice to see other gals doing stuff on their own! you’re an inspiration ♥️
Have you watched Isabel Paige? She's somewhat similar! totally agreed, I love watching women who are able to do this kind of stuff themselves.
Jonna Jinton’s videos might also be interesting to you :) her way of living is absolutely fascinating
Go back and look at the older videos. They did a road trip together.
@@pmc5431 I know! That's how I found Isabel.
@@antonboludo8886 Not sure if you've lived through it, but I'm in my 50's, so I can completely relate to Jillian's comment about loving seeing women do this themselves. I've always had a similar mentality of independence, lived in a cabin in the mountains for a few years, but coming from my generation, trust me, it hasn't always been accepted being both feminine and independent. You could only be one or the other according to "societies very judgemental non-soliticed opinions". The judgement through the past years was weirdly heavy hitting on women with that combination, and finally, society is starting to open up their minds a bit, but that journey has not been an easy one.
I’m proud of you too. You’ve done a great job. I can’t wait to see what you do with the other cabin.
I love seeing all that you’ve done! I found your channel when you had first gotten this place and it has come a long way! Lots of clever and inspiring ideas too!
You might want to think about having two plexiglass panels that you can pop in and out for your screened in porch. Just for winter and you’ll still be able to see though them
For the screened porch I would suggest acrylic you can get big sheets at Home Depot
Hang them up in fall to fully protect against moister coming in and use the tarps for summer
This will also help with keeping some warmth in there while also allowing to see the view
Great idea!
I was thinking the same. Eamon & Bec did that with their "porch" and theyre able to use it during the winter too x
I love all the changes you've done in your cottage. It's beautiful!
We are so proud of you Hannah! I can say without a doubt your cabin series has been a highlight of my year. Thank you for sharing it all ✨🌲🤍
You have done a fabulous job! The one thing I would suggest is painting the kitchen walls a light color to combat the deep, dark cave-like appearance. Other than that, you have made yourself a charming and comfortable looking home. Congratulations!
That moment when your axe is stuck in the log, leave it, flip the whole thing upside down and bring it down onto the back of the axe head. Your log should split easily using its own weight against the axe blade.
Be proud you’ve come a long way and it looks great!!
Thanks for sharing the before & after cottage tour. The changes are amazing and the cottage is so homely. Congrats on 1 year.
Love everything you’ve done! If I could make make one little suggestion: buy a proper wood stove and have it professionally installed. It will keep your cabin warmer, be energy efficient & allow you to live there in winter should situations arise that keep you from traveling to warmer climes.
Hi Hannah, everything you have done looks great. Your a woman who knows what she wants and does it. Awesome. You mentioned not knowing what to do with the screened windows on your front room for winter or when it rains you may want to consider framing some clear thick plastic or some of the clear acrylic panels framed so they can be screwed outside during cold weather or the rainy weather. Once it gets better you can just unscrew them and store them away. Just a thought.
Yup, couldn’t agree more, has to be on the outside and the plastic will help the snow and ice slide down!
Congratulations on your one year home anniversary! You've made it look so beautiful ❤️.
Your cottage is so beautiful! and i'm really proud of you that you did this all by yourself!!! 🤩🤩
For the wood burner you could replace it with a new one that heats a larger area and they are not as huge as the one you have
yeah or get the ones that are made out of this fancy stone, which gets super hot and radiates heat for hours!!! i do not know the name, but my ex boyfriends parents had that in their living room in cold ass Norway lol
@@woodenNL Soapstone. They are wonderful and so many colors and styles to choose from. Also they have a metal fan that you can buy. It sits on the stove and the heat is what makes it move. Helps distribute the heat to the rest of the house. Also helps to keep a cast iron kettle on with water for humidity so your skin doesn't dry out.
One thing to consider when it comes to storing firewood in the house or on the porch is that can introduce wood boring insects to all that wonderful wood you have. That would make them a real cozy place to live and breed and bore to their tiny little hearts desire. Ask me how I know... Anyway now I keep my firewood away from the house and make the trek out to the wood pile to get it. I only bring in what I intend to burn at that time or shortly there after. So the wood is still cold-ish and anything living insides it is still dormant until it is in the firebox.
Since you do have propane you might think of getting rid of that POS stove and getting a propane stove to replace it. It would make your heating so much simpler for the times you are there in the winter.
Third suggestion, in the winter close off that upstairs and just live in the main part of the house. I would bet that most of your heat goes up there and the rest out through all of that glass. Yeah a three season place but a really nice one too.
Sorry for being so long...
There are woodstoves now that are more energy-efficient than modern heating solutions and I think Hannah enjoys the vibe/way of life of having one. The real key here is upgrading to a stove that is more efficient and appropriate for the space, and insulation, insulation, insulation.
I'd be willing to bet that the roof in the loft space could use a lot more of it.
Better windows would also be ideal, but it's expensive, in the meantime, thick insulating curtains would help and for when it's really cold, making some foam insulation board panels to blank off the windows at night (like a beefy version of window covers for campers) to keep in all the heat and maybe consider leaving some of them in place during the day on the more redundant windows.
Insulation will also help keep the place cooler in the summer.
Hannah congrats! It’s so cool to see so much progress from you, and in just a year! This cabin is what got me started watching you and the fact that it’s only been a year since that began is pretty crazy and kickass how much you’ve accomplished, good for u, wishing you the best always ✨🌞💗🌿
Been here since day 1 and I’m still obsessed! So proud of you!
To fix your screen issue, you could build a wood frame that you could screw up or take down and get some heavy duty clear plastic to staple onto the wood frame. Or frame that wall out and get some used windows to put in.
smart!
We did this for an outdoor summer house we sit in. We used eye hooks to attach in the winter panels. My Dad also made flip down shutters to cover the windows outside. He added chains on the side that we could lower them to use as a table top when we had family cookouts.
Hannah, one thing to remember to do in the porch is to fill the gaps in the log walls which will stop snow blowing in during the winter and keep the drafts out.
If only one of the woodburning stove companies would send you a new stove and fit it for free - that would be perfect.
Are you going to do up the cabin eventually?
You’re living my dream life. I come to your channel whenever I’m feeling melancholy and your videos always make me feel better. Thank you for being here ❤️
You are so awesome! I love how you learn as you go and don't let inexperience stop you. Your place is gorgeous!
A window in your kitchen would definitely open up the space!! Love what you have done so far can't wait to see what you do to change up the space more as time goes by ❤❤
Am I the only one who wishes Hannah posted more often? A week feels like forever!!! Lol
We got a little bonus video about catching and releasing mice this week 🐭🐁
You should be proud of yourself. What you've achieved in a year is amazing. It's so beautiful x
Way to go, Hannah! Love your DIY spirit, your lovely greenery everywhere, and especially your inviting screened in porch!
I think you've done an incredible job on your cute little home & yes, you can be VERY proud of yourself. I wish I had just a fraction of your determination! 🤗
Congratulations on how much your channel has grown since starting the cabin projects! Everything looks wonderful 🥰
I recommend you a pellet stove, it’s great, functional and more ecological! All the work you’ve done is unbelievable and the result is impressive, you're so good at everything you do! 🥰
But if the electricity goes out the pellet stove won't work, right?
What a transformation !! Your cabin is cute, stylish without being pretentious and just so you 😊
You did amazing. I’m so proud of you. All in only one year. It’s been great to watch.
I live in Canada and I have a set of doors that lets snow in. In late fall, it’s a door I use to let the dogs out and it snows in badly. I use thick plastic and just staple it over the door on the outside, except a flap that I need for the dogs. Since we can get up to 5’ of snow and -40f, it works well. Then in spring, I take it off.
NB here, gotta love those storms you have to bring your shovel INSIDE to get out of the house in the morning eh? I don’t even bother with storm doors anymore. 🤷♀️🤣
Hi, if you get thermal backed curtains for all your windows it will be so much warmer and more energy efficient in winter.
Your videos and your vibes in general are so calming. They really help me cope.
Hannah, this transformation makes me beyond happy. You have inspired me in so many ways over the years and I love watching your journey. Thank you for sharing with us. ❤️
You should be very impressed with yourself! I've done a lot of remodeling in my years and I could have used your input and creativity! The turn around in less than a year is crazy. You're an animal! I love your channel and you and all of your quirky little ways. Just keep doing you, it's perfect!
I started watching you just before you bought your property. And I've enjoyed watching every video! Your an inspiration to young women. And if this old woman still had it in her, I'd be following in your footsteps! Love your content!!
You're giving your place just the right touch...very nice!
What you have achieved is truly remarkable. It’s looking so beautiful. Thank you for sharing the journey with us and inspiring us along the way 🌻
I start my freshman year of college tomorrow this is literally what I needed to calm my anxiety. Hanna you bring joy into others lives by just being you.
Good luck!
@@briannamccarthy2043 Thanks!
College is so fun-- I hope you really enjoy your first year :))
Ohh I wish you a lot of fun! 😊
Good luck today, you’ll do great!
Great video as always. You've taken a little cabin in the woods and added many changes and improvements to make it more livable. Definitely Hannah's Home. It is filled with your magic. Congrats.
Weatherization should be a priority. Tarps, shutters or framed acrylic windows are all possible remedies. Keep the wet outside of the screens.
Stay safe and well.
What a dream!! This is so beautiful and so much love and hard work has been put into it!
What a huge difference, you have really made the coziest home out of a bare bones cabin, and there is so much fun left to be had! Love seeing the transformation and am excited to see what you do in the future.
This just made my dayyyy!!!!!!♥️♥️ Your Cottage is absolutely beautiful, I strive to be this connected to myself and nature, you really inspire me.
You've done an amazing job on your cottage and so much of it you did solo. Congrats! Really excellent.
Not only did you make it more functional you possess an eye for good design. Perhaps becoming a designer is in your future.
It is crazy how much you have transformed the place!
YOU SHOULD BE SO PROUD - this whole series of you buying the property and redoing it is so cool and fun to watch
You've really made that cabin so darling and lovely - it must be an absolute joy to get to wake up to that, vs what it was at the beginning. Great job hannah!
You will need a wood stove in your cabin. You can cook on it and you will be much warmer in the winter. Great vlog! i love the work you put into it.
I enjoy watching these videos so much! The inspiration is REAL. My favorite rooms that you've made over are the bedroom (might be anticlimactic in your eyes, but definitely a beautiful result), porch, and living room! Keep up the amazing, authentic work!
The transformation has been amazing and I enjoyed this before and after compilation video. And yes, Hannah...you are one impressive young lady! So well done! (And you have great taste in music as well!).
What we all have been waiting for!! ✨💖
I think we are fairly impressed with everything you have done. Your improvements have made this into your home. I know there is a lot you still want to do and I am positive you can tackle it just as good as you have in the past. I look at what you come up with on each rebuild and I’m impressed with your design aspects. It always looks so nice. Great work. 👍
Lots good times and lots of good work
We're in it for the long haul
Proud of you
❤️
What a lovely, peaceful home. You’ve done an amazing job. Each area has its own personality. Well done Hannah!
I hope your bike booboo’s heal quickly!
Been waiting for this! Absolutely love your home and the work you've done to it
Girl, you did an amazing job with everything! You’re so handy and creative with shelving and utilization of dead spaces. I’m glad TH-cam brought me to this video!
Your home is amazing!
You should be so proud of your work!
Well deserved
This is what makes our Sundays better, thank you ❤️
A sliding barn door would look good to your bathroom. The cottage looks great overall.
That is a lot of work you did in only one year plus filming! You should be proud! Looks amazing!
Way to go Hannah!! My daughter and I have watched your progress. So inspirational. Thanks!
I’ve been here the whole journey! Loved to see you make the cabin into a cottage.
I love how you took your time and did this so peacefully the transformation has been such a pleasure to watch can't wait to see the enxt one 😊
You've done so much so far and I cannot wait to see what you continue to do with this property!
Hi, Hannah! Toilet tip: It also works to just dump water quickly into the bowl and let gravity do the work. No need to mess with the tank lid and your new shelf. Great job on the cottage!
Looking back at how much you've accomplished is amazing! Having the 2 sliding doors accessible is by far a huge appeal to your cottage! What an amazing feeling to be inside but feel so outside! 👍
I have absolutely loved watching your journey renovating your cabin! You've taught me so much too! Thank you! I can't wait to see you do the other cabin too.
You have done an amazing job...not only have you moved to a cabin in the woods but you have changed it to a GEM!! Happy One Year Anniversary !!
So proud of u!!! Appreciate the effort you put into this video and have loved joining you on this journey!! 🥺🥺🥺
I’m excited to see you tackle even bigger projects for this place, like making it more functional for winter and such.
Wow, all of this improvement and beauty in one year?? I’m impressed and inspired as hell.
You are killing it girl, you have every right to be proud of yourself. 😘👍
your videos give me so much comfort
I love what you've done with the entire cottage. I loved all your changes they've just been outstanding. What I think would look really cute in the kitchen, a port hole window. Or 3. Your kitchen kind of reminds me of a galley and I think the round windows would look adorable. Granted it's not cottage style, but ,you know, just a thought.
Love the port hole window idea!!
Also agree portholes are cool, or at least a round or otherwise interestingly shaped window if the ship vibe is just too much. Might be cool to chuck a porthole in the bathroom too. Personally, I'd have a large one that opens above the toilet and get a smaller mirror on a swivel stand mounted in the corner that can be tucked out of the way or moved to the right spot, but I know Hannah loves her mirrors, so maybe three small ones across the top of the wall behind the toilet just to let in some light and greenery would work.
