Before fashion videos are back in full swing, would you consider making a video on how you manage and invest your money? Do you have ISAs, buy stocks and shares, etc.? Three properties by 30 is an impressive achievement!
Probably because this person would like to know. Isn’t that obvious? Also, considering Josie gets hundreds of comments a day and manages multiple social media platforms, it’s reasonable to think that she might have missed the comment.
Good luck with your new venture. Try not to spend too much money on it, you're trying to make profit. You can get something to look luxurious without having to buy high end everything. People staying in it won't know or care that the lights are Jim Lawrence so choose where you spend your money wisely to add the most value without spending money you don't need to.
Yay congrats you two! I remember we were chatting about this and I’m so glad you’ve found somewhere wonderful!! I don’t know where you find the time babe but I’m so excited for you!! Xx

WITH LOVE , PRAYERS , HUGS , AND SWEET KISSES , FROM ME , AND MY FAMILY , " THE " ROTHSCHILD'S . " FAREWELL MY BEAUTIFUL ANGELS . 😊😍😘
I actually agree with Charlie, a black fire would work far better, keep the cottage traditional and beautiful, congratulations on your cottage , I’m sure you will make it beautiful
In the first bedroom on that left hand corner build a wardrobe straight up to the ceiling and then panel around it too. Then paint all the same colour, so it is blended in and then you are not wasting that space. Hope that makes sense.
Wow, such a sweet cottage. As it's a holiday cottage do you need a wardrobe in the top bedroom? A pretty hanging rail and some drawers would keep the space more open. Do try to bear in mind that it won't be your home, some people don't treat holiday accommodation very well, so try to keep as much as possible easy to clean and not too precious in case it's broken or 'walks' (sorry if that sounds bossy) . It's going to be so gorgeous when you're given it your touch.
Can we just admire Josie watching Charlie get so excited over house stuff, and just letting him have the stage to show off all his toys, and encouraging him
Yes life should be fun...there is too much gloominess in the world...I AM 73 have lived a full happy.life and had all my big dreams come true because I WORKED hard for them...like JOSIE... people have sometimes resented it. MY dreams were different a career I LOVED that took ten yrs academic preparation...followed by 20 yrs being a professor and uni administrator. I wanted to.retire by 50 and never work again...that took sacrifice and investment. I wanted to live aboard A SAILBOAT with the love of my life and sail the CARIBBEAN which we did for ten years. I wanted to have a beautiful home and tropical gardens in tropical mountains in a low tax, low government interference in everyday life country and we do. I wanted to never have to go to a nursing home but have the means and people we trust in place to care for us at the sunset.of.our lives and we do....we are still fit and fine but the day will come when we will be glad to have the employees we have, our garden, our home designed wisely for our future needs. We have had an unconventional life that would not appeal to most people but it was and is eactly what we wanted.....no one can ask for more than to have their dreams come true and that is what I wish for everyone...city life or country life, whatever each heart dreams. A life uniquely theirs.
I've had to pause 5 mins in to say, if you turn the rose over on your watering cans so the holes ar pointing u, you get a more gentle spray of water onto your seedlings.
It's amazing how in one year you guys have done so much to that property. The property is coming together beautifully. Can't wait for the summer to see it in all of its beauty. Congrats on the cottage. God bless you and Charlie and the boys.💖
A lot of smaller hotels and b&bs just have a few shaker style hooks for coat hangers, instead of wardrobes - as yours will be a holiday cottage, rather than a home, you don’t need to go overboard with the storage. I’m glad I don’t have to wallpaper the top bedroom, with all the different angles!
@@JosieIrons such a beautiful view all around away from things it's just so peaceful relaxing and scenery it's as if time has stood still. and the kind of pleasantness that is often found and you are beautiful.
This is like a dream come true. I have fallen in love with the UK because of your youtube channel and it has now become a dream of mine for a few years to visit and now I will not be staying any place else then your cottage. Hopefully in a couple of years I can stay there on my honeymoon. Can't wait. So excited for you!
First of all, congrats on this amazing investment! But what I really wanted to say is that you are lucky to live in an area you love so deeply ❤️ I live in Piedmont, northern Italy, and I love this place so much that all I want is everyone else to feel the same about their own home and their own places. We all can see you love the Cotswolds so much and it’s lovely: you will never feel lonely or sad, even in the worst days there will be something special surrounding you that will make you the happiest 💕
I recently started following your vlog and now I see where some of your vloggers friends are getting their ideas from. You are absolutely amazing, because not only you have excellent taste in fashion and interior - love your simplicity - but you're doing your own little projects not just putting make up like many of similar vloggers do. I just respect the effort you're putting your time and energy in, so I'm soo glad I found your channel. Love from Slovenia ❤︎❤︎❤︎
Josie you are the hardest working TH-camr for sure ! I absolutely love how you have utilized literally every inch of your sweet make do green house ! I hope you get your dream green house soon ( not that you even need a big ole posh one 😁) Keep up the good work you & Charlie are so genuine & hard working 🥰🥰xxx
Congratulations on your investment property! It is a good business decision, considering we'll be unable to travel overseas for the next long while, people will look to their own country to go exploring. Stoked for you guys and your bright, bright future x
While everyone’s been buying their first Birkins, you on the other hand has yet bought another property 😉 you are such an inspiration Josie. With the right property and enough savings, I know I’ll be getting mine soon to. Bet everyone’s going to start copying you anytime soon 😝
Lets be real she inherited her money. Her influencer career is pretty basic 300k insta and not much on youtube. Other girls with birkins like lydia their earning potential os ten times higher than hers. Plus its self made
@@leerundle1613 Ha! Lydia Brand Beggin' Millen can't renew a contract (or pronounce a brand name) to save her dim little life. Outside of ByTerry, KM and Intimissimi, there is a reason why *major brands don't renew contracts with Lydia* - classless, too much drama (the entire Nicki fiasco), vapid, and overall a horror to work with according to quite a few PR girls. Josie presents less brand risk and isn't a brand beggar like Lyd's ... who shamelessly grovels for free stuff 24/7. Lyd's buys *very* little of what she advertises, follows brands on social media and then begs for it - and hawks the rest when she needs a few bucks. Get a clue. LMAO
I can imagine your small, beautiful cottage in natural color of wooden parts, and the walls and furniture in the colors of sage and lavender! Love from Serbia 🇷🇸❤
We have a lake front holiday cottage in Ontario and we love it but what I will say is that in 8 years we have never rented it out. It was our original intention however once we made it our own we never wanted to have strangers stay in our personal space 😁. Perhaps you will be better at that part. Congrats!
I love the cottage. Ooohhh so many ideas. 1. With the secondary bedroom, I think the wall that you’re going to put the bed on done in a board and batten, painted a pale blue with a cream on the wall. Paired with a beautiful floral blue curtain and bedding, cottage core perfection. Agree on the wood floor and either sanding the beams or wrapping them in natural wood. 2. With the master bed, you would have an easier time getting one of those mattresses in a box and opening it in the room. 3. For the master bedroom, natural wood floor and beams or wrapped in natural wood. 3. In the master bedroom, get rid of the rail and do a hip height built-in in its place for a dresser for storage. You could also do something similar to your dressing room against the sloped walls with built ins. Agree on the wall paper all over. Love the vlog as always!!
It's so lovely that you are content and find joy in your surroundings. While external beauty is wonderful, finding peace is a mindset and anyone can do it no matter where you are. I feel very lucky where I am too. I live on a beautiful lake with fairy tale trees in the Midwest of the USA.
Congrats on your new cottage! It would be a DREAM to stay there after it's done. As an American, I've been living the English country life fantasy through you and I'm so excited to see it continue.
Who else thought that pizza was going to be much larger based on the size of the box? 😆 Also, I hope this ornamental pears are different than the Bradford pears in the states. Although ours are pretty the blooms smell like urine and the trees don't do well with strong winds.
We made white rose beds in just the same way when we moved into our house. We underplanted them with white tulips and narcissi, followed by white alliums, and plant white cosmos for later summer each year. My only suggestions is to make them wider than you have marked out. The house proportions would lend itself to that, you can always do it at a later date. Both our girls have been married with them as a back drop. Our house and garden is a bit bigger than yours, it’s now been a work in progress for 23 years - you never finish. Have a lovely time planning it all
Someone may have told you already but the flowers outside the cottage are hyacinths they come in pink blue and purple. They are super fragrant and bloom early every spring. I have some purple ones in bloom now and love them.
Suggestion: in the room with the square box in the corner, create a builtin incorporating that box. You could build shelves above it, slightly recessed from the edges, add coving, and you’ve got a smart little display and storage area for guests. If you added a top to the box that stuck out over the edge you could create a little deal area with shelves as well. This way that box is camouflaged a bit and looks like a built in.
Love the plans for the new cottage, adore the green and gold colour scheme but I'm with Charlie about the stove, I think a traditional black stove would suit the cottage best but looking forward to following your progress with your new project
Just a tip - ornamental pear trees are absolutely beautiful but do not stand up well to heavy winds. My parents property had a long line of them alongside the road and unfortunately they all had to be taken down (many many years after planting) due to splitting or branches breaking during storms. Granted, they were planted in 1978 and were taken up in the 2010s so that’s a pretty great return on investment.
I’d put a door stop on your gym doors... if the wind catches it it might smash. The little bathroom, I’d put tile on the whole side wall rather than just the shower. Looks very choppy now. Very excited for your new cabin. 👍❤️
Congratulations!!✨✨ the flowers outside your cottage are hyacinths. They are a quintessential spring bloom - Persians celebrate the spring equinox as their new year and hyacinths are a part of the decorations in every persian (Iranian) household at this time of year ✨
I think there were negative comments because we were hungry and jealous of the delicious dinner you and Charlie shared. I was wondering where my invite was and I remembered Covid of course, otherwise my place setting would have been set. A long flight from Los Angeles but totally worth it for Charlie’s cooking. Yes, I would have done the washing up. The French fries looked and smelled delicious from across the pond. Cheers!
The cottage reno will be such fun to watch! Congratulations! A great and creative way to expand your investment/income options. The pink flowers at the cottage are hyacinth - bulbs that typically bloom in spring - and are often forced for early blooming in pots and vases. They have a very strong smell and can irritate anyone with seasonal allergies when displayed inside. The tiny purple flowers are muscari - not weeds - but a bulb that can be planted - also known as grape hyacinth. If planted they will self propagate in a way similar to snow drops. Our spring flowers: crocus, muscari, tulips, daffodils, narcissus, and more are blooming here in middle America.
I’m getting reacquainted with all things Fashion Mumblr and now I’m binge watching… the arrangement here is STUNNING… and now I’m desperate to fly over from Atlanta, Georgia to your Cotswolds cottage!!!!
My sister in low is using artificial plants and branches as a base, then is adding real fresh flowers to finish off the flower arrangement in her display vase. For Easter she is adding painted eggs on a stick, combined with chocolate eggs. Love your vlogs and congratulations on your cottage. x
I'm back with a few more comments 😄 1. In agreement with many others, I would do the minimum necessary to get the holiday cottage up and running, at least for the first year. Then you can gauge what else to do, based on comments and feedback. 2. I'm sure there will be plenty of people in the village happy to take excess seedlings off your hands 3. I absolutely ADORE your easter displays - they look wonderful And finally - you didn't tell us about Lala!
I am SO EGGCItED about this 😭 !!!! Ps. You inspired me as you know with law of attraction 😍❤️😍❤️ sooooo excited to hear everything omg! You’ve also inspired me to look for a cottage, manifesting it 🥰❤️
How awesome is that to get a cottage?! I know you're going to make it beautiful. I can't wait to see the transformation. I love seeing how well your plants are growing. They are doing good! I'm impressed. Thank you so much for this amazing vlog! I always look forward to them! Hope your day is bright!
Really cute! I'd be wary of upgrading and updating too much in a vacation home. People sometimes break things, kids destroy or spill on something, etc. and don't really need a super luxe vacation spot....most people just want a simple, clean, and cozy spot to stay in. You'll make a better profit that way too and save yourself some money!
Beautiful cottage purchase! Definitely country cottage style: beams, wood panels, sage greens, brass everything, the weird ledge is a bedside table with a floral arrangement, wall mounted side lights to save space. Beef up the tiny slanted shelves and continue them around the chimney instead of a blocking armoire, keeps the room airy. Mini boot nook is perfect because the door will block the hall. Floral Roman shades at the little windows.
Josie you say you are not a painter,but you are one awesome decorator & a creative. I want you to know how much I appreciate all what you do to bring your beautiful blogs to us . Have a lovely week you Charlie & the boys ( Judy from Pennsylvania )
Stunning Josie! Those pink flowers are hyacinths by the way. There is a lovely proverb from the Middle East: "if of thou mortal goods thou art bereft, and from thy slender store two loaves alone are left, sell one, and with the dole, buy hyacinths to feed the soul". They smell incredible and are nice to buy in January to sweep away Christmas and bring in the fresh new year xxxxxxxx
Congratulations on your new cottage rental adventure! Based on what youv'e shown us in your own home and Lala's Place, the decor in the cottage is going to be amazing!! Your enthusiasm and energy to accomplish all that you do is to be commended. You are high on life, my dear, and it is wonderful to see you and Charlie partnering so easily. As we head into our third lockdown here in Ontario Canada, your Vlogs are truly a lifesaver. Can't wait to see what you have in store for us!!
Huge congratulations Josie! Such a beautiful cottage, reminding me of ‘The Holiday’. Can’t wait to see what you do with it. Your work ethic is incredibly inspirational, well done!
Charlie posing up the ladder 🤣🤣🤣 so cute and funny. Purple blue flowers. Muscari grape hyacinths - again, a spring flower. Personally, I love them. I don’t consider them weeds. I have loads in my garden. Love the Easter Vase. This vlog has been so entertaining 😀😀
So exciting! What a dream! I don't even have a small apartment (flat) nor a car so let alone a house xD. I feel like I'm living in a dream when I watch Josie's video and it makes me hopeful ^_^
This level of wealth is impossible to achieve for the vast majority of people without inheritance/luck. I’d wish you luck, if you don’t have the inheritance, but this kind of wealth is not necessarily admirable. If I think about it for more than a moment, it makes me ill. Considering how our resources are so unjustly distributed is utterly depressing...
@@mortviolette284 You brought some very good points :) Thank goodness, I don't intend to strive to have what Josie has. I'm a violinist who makes about 25k Canadian a year teaching kindergarten kids music. Unless I'm good at investment, I'll never have the amount of money she has xD. But I do love her style and perhaps I can recreate a small room with similar feel while thrifting!
I think it is wonderful what they are doing and accomplishing. It feels like we are a part of her journey even though she doesn't really know us at all. The wealth distribution or inheritance isn't how you make it. It is believing you can do or be anything you want and not being too afraid to dream. Look at many successful people that came from nothing. They didn't whine because of wealth distribution, they believed and never gave up. Good for You and Charlie, I am so happy for you. Thankyou so much ,for sharing your li love of life with us. I wish you much enjoyment in you new venture.
The cottage is lovely but do think again about the stair rope. My cousin had one and an elderly guest pulled it iff the wall, i persuaded her to have a hand rail, which if you are having guests would be much safer
If I were considering renting a cottage in the Cotswolds I would want it to look like a Beatrix Potter home---all old world, large gardens, wall papered rooms(yes Charlie) , crackling fires, quaint English teacups & porcelain dishes.....no modern except for the bathroom with a claw footed tub! I would not want to do much cooking so a tiny old fashioned Aga for looks and a microwave hidden away. Big flowery printed down filled quilts & goose feather pillows with lush wool throws for reading in a big overstuffed velvet chair. Horse prints or bucolic scenes framed in old gold frames on the walls alongside a small filled bookcase with old poetry & art books. Josie you could take your overflow of seed starts to throw in beds outside your new cottage. If you start putting your remodel in your intro to your video maybe it will attract a new type of subscriber and you could finally get to 500,000 . In lieu of that, how about starting a new vlog called Cotswoldmumbler? Love your video today & every time you post.
That’s true that in North America (I’m in Canada) we call it the third floor, which now that I think of it makes no sense. In an office building with an elevator we call the ground floor the lobby and the next floor up is the first floor. Not sure why it’s different in houses!
Thanks for for sharing So much more that your fashion life with your subscribers. It’s so much fun joining you and Charlie as create this new chapter of your lives.
It’s odd, we are the same age, however I draw so much inspiration from you! You have become an idol to me! Thank you for all that you do! I’m always so excited to tune into these vlogs! Take care x3
Maybe those organic latex mattresses constructed of layers that can easily be rolled up could be an option for getting a king size up there? Apparently those latex mattresses are amazing.
I LOVE the cottage idea! Would love to stay there so so much! So exciting!! The little box area that Charles suggested some flowers to be placed on, might be able to be hidden as a table or desk perhaps? A wood table top might be able to be placed over the square and overlap it a little, with a couple of chairs pulled up? It would be so nice to have some of the touches of your own beautiful home added to the cottage. I love the firewood storage idea and the front entrance cupboard reformation idea. I love all the beautiful nooks and crannies.
I just loved this !!! I enjoy all the things you and Charlie are doing. I am from the US, looking forward to all things around the house, your gardening, videos, cooking, beauty, and fashion. I So look forward to seeing the garden when things bloom and what is happening with your beautiful homes. Your gym area is amazing! Loved the cottage and can't wait to see what it looks like when you are done with it. So exciting!!!
I also treated myself this week to a new copper watering can. I just think they are so gorgeous. Yours is quite special! The area you live in is absolutely beautiful!
Good Evening Josie - This was a delight to watch. Congratulations on the purchase and what a smart investment 🎉🎊🏠💖👑 The gym is looking fabulous, those doors are certainly well made. The garden and the external grounds in general are looking brilliant, the end result will be spectacular 🌳🏡🌲 You both share so much information in your vlogs and it is so useful. Thank you! I am enjoying how you combine home, garden, lifestyle, beauty, fashion etc content in your vlogs. As well as cameo appearances by Dexter and Dickens lol 🐶🐶
How exciting, looking forward to seeing your vision & progress. Maybe in the 2nd bed room you could build a cupboard over over the stair box for guests to keep clothes in, either shelves or hanging & your could add beading to match the wall it will all blend in and you would'nt notice the protruding stair box, also mount a large mirror to one side of it to make the room appear bigger???
The blue flowers are grape hyacinths, small version of the pink ones. Very much not a weed. Sown by small bulbs and self seeding. Great video. Love the cottage. Cozy rental. Your pronunciation of muscari is spot on.
Congratulations! Loved the cottage. Idea for the upper bedroom - if the room is long enough, you can have a wardrobe behind the bed. Just build a wall behind the bed headboard with around 50 cm or less from the actual wall, and put rales and shelves inside, the access will be from either sides of the bed. And when you stand in front of the bed you will not see that there’s a wardrobe, it will be just a wall behind the bed.
Josie, I would reconsider wallpaper on a rental for sure because if someone damages it by marking it you will have to replace it. I would make it as light and airy as possible because of the smaller spaces. I'd skip paneling because it's dark and can be dented. My friends own a chalet rental and people can do some bizarre things to a place. I'd be sure not to buy the highest-end items in the kitchen or bathroom.
Love the cottage! The pink flowers in the garden are Hyacinths by the way. But don't forget wardrobes in those bedrooms because anyone staying will want somewhere to put their clothes.
Did you think about that before you typed it? You do realise Josie & Charlie will read this? Do you follow them? If so , I’m intrigued why you follow if you’re going to be so negative towards them
I watch them an enjoy their content but you surely can’t think that being an influencer is the most difficult job. I’m not saying they don’t work for what they have but it is not the most taxing job and they earn a lot of money from it. I think healthcare workers etc have a much harder job and get paid significantly less. I think that’s what Julie was saying.
Definitely go for cosy cottage vibes with pretty floral wallpaper with Warm white, sage green and pink colours🤍 maybe get someone in to design it as you won't make too much mistakes then! Looks beautiful and would definitely spend a long weekend in your lovely cottage x
Well I know where my vacation in England will be! My daughter wanted for so long to visit England and I am sure you will do amazing work inside as you are the most sophisticated youtuber ever! Congratulations it's a very good choice!
Oh my gosh how exciting 🥰😍 I am from germany and because of you I heard of the cotswolds the first time when you moved last year and I directly fell in love with the beauty! And I planned on travelling there after covid, but now you are going to have a cottage? So great 🥰🥰 can you already tell for how much you want to rent the house? I really would love to go there with my boyfriend 😊
Congratulations on your new property. I would remove the plaster ceiling in the possible master bedroom with spots so you gain extra height and tradition. Can’t wait to see your work on this as you have such great ideas
My goodness. I feel so spolied😊 New vlog! Keep it coming. Love watching your vlog and congratulation on your new small house. Cannot wait to see you styling it.
It is simple u inherit money.u really think all this comes from her youtube career🤣 She would have to have 2 million atleast on insta and 80000 views a vid om youtube.
Josie, what you might want to try out for any new arrangements you make for the large planter is adding an oasis block into the bottom of the planter. That way, you can stick your stems right into it a they are held up perfectly. By the way, the structure you created for the stems in the pot is called a frog and you can find lots of them in antique shops. 🥰
The HIGHLIGHT of this video was Charlies new ladder.. lol. How exciting that you have purchased a cottage to share the Cotswold experience for future guests... I am very excited to watch this enchantment unfold.
Love the original everything. Pull the carpet up, clean the floors and let them be original. Love your ideas about the kitchen and bathroom. All the original things I would use somewhere. JMO...visiting the Cotswalds for a vacation I would want to see an authentic cottage with quaint decor. I really wouldn't think luxury, I would want the experience of the time it was built. The top floor would be good with a wardrobe and a tall mirror on the wall instead of a vanity that would take up space. That's something we admire about the UK. Keeping your old beautiful architecture that you can't even try to create these days. Whatever you do will be lovely. From the 🇺🇸
Congrats on your holiday cottage. I am wanting to do the same thing where I live. I have stayed in holiday cottages when I vacation in England. It is the only way to travel. You are going to have fun fixing it up and decorating it. I think making it cottage cozy will really add to the charm and wow factor. Bare wood floors with pretty rugs and wall paper (which is very in right now) would look fantastic.
Congratulations on the new cottage! It looks so promissing! Since you moved to the Cotswolds I am dreaming of traveling there some time in the future, when the situation allows it. I am from Germany and have been to a few different towns/cities in England (including London, of course). It never crossed my mind to visit the country side, because we have such beautiful nature in Germany, so no need to travel, I thought. But your videos reminded me, that it is really not the same - especially the whimsical little villages' architecture! Who knows, maybe I will even have the honour of staying at your cottage someday!
Hi Josie what fabulous news about your Cottage. You and Charlie must be so excited. Looks very nice inside and I'm sure both of you will make it look stunning.The gym look fantastic the doors are awesome. Thanks so much for sharing.💞💞💙
Love your new cottage venture... right up my alley, and how I would enjoy that project! Oh how clever you and your Charlie are to feather your own beautiful nest whilst having fun decorating a charming little money maker. Well done! Totally hooked on your vlogs🌸
you guys....The gym looks marvelous. I wasn't expecting all glass doors, considering summers, but it works. Those trees down the driveway will be beautiful. Love the garden restores in plan!
Before fashion videos are back in full swing, would you consider making a video on how you manage and invest your money? Do you have ISAs, buy stocks and shares, etc.? Three properties by 30 is an impressive achievement!
I agree!!
Wonderful idea
Fabulous idea!! I am saving hard but feel like I could be doing more with my money and Charlie and Josie seem to be making the most of their money!
Haven't you already mentioned this in a video before and has she not already replied to your comment? Why do it again?
Probably because this person would like to know. Isn’t that obvious? Also, considering Josie gets hundreds of comments a day and manages multiple social media platforms, it’s reasonable to think that she might have missed the comment.
Good luck with your new venture. Try not to spend too much money on it, you're trying to make profit. You can get something to look luxurious without having to buy high end everything. People staying in it won't know or care that the lights are Jim Lawrence so choose where you spend your money wisely to add the most value without spending money you don't need to.
Things you love to see:
- Josie and Charlie doing WELL 👏🏻👏🏻
- Dexter
- Dickens
And the COTSWOLDS,
Yay congrats you two! I remember we were chatting about this and I’m so glad you’ve found somewhere wonderful!! I don’t know where you find the time babe but I’m so excited for you!! Xx
Thank you darling!!! I don’t know where we will find the time either hehe but oh we do love a house project!

I actually agree with Charlie, a black fire would work far better, keep the cottage traditional and beautiful, congratulations on your cottage , I’m sure you will make it beautiful
In the first bedroom on that left hand corner build a wardrobe straight up to the ceiling and then panel around it too. Then paint all the same colour, so it is blended in and then you are not wasting that space. Hope that makes sense.
Wow, such a sweet cottage. As it's a holiday cottage do you need a wardrobe in the top bedroom? A pretty hanging rail and some drawers would keep the space more open.
Do try to bear in mind that it won't be your home, some people don't treat holiday accommodation very well, so try to keep as much as possible easy to clean and not too precious in case it's broken or 'walks' (sorry if that sounds bossy) . It's going to be so gorgeous when you're given it your touch.
That’s true!!
LOVE how your videos are about your LIFE....not just pretty clothes and products. LIFE :)
They are hyacinths Josie, delphiniums don't flower at this time of year in the UK.
Omg she got a holiday cottage as an investment for renting out!!!
I would love to visit when the lockdown is over!!!!!
See you there
Can we just admire Josie watching Charlie get so excited over house stuff, and just letting him have the stage to show off all his toys, and encouraging him
😆😆😆😆 100%
Yes life should be fun...there is too much gloominess in the world...I AM 73 have lived a full happy.life and had all my big dreams come true because I WORKED hard for them...like JOSIE... people have sometimes resented it. MY dreams were different a career I LOVED that took ten yrs academic preparation...followed by 20 yrs being a professor and uni administrator. I wanted to.retire by 50 and never work again...that took sacrifice and investment. I wanted to live aboard A SAILBOAT with the love of my life and sail the CARIBBEAN which we did for ten years. I wanted to have a beautiful home and tropical gardens in tropical mountains in a low tax, low government interference in everyday life country and we do. I wanted to never have to go to a nursing home but have the means and people we trust in place to care for us at the sunset.of.our lives and we do....we are still fit and fine but the day will come when we will be glad to have the employees we have, our garden, our home designed wisely for our future needs. We have had an unconventional life that would not appeal to most people but it was and is eactly what we wanted.....no one can ask for more than to have their dreams come true and that is what I wish for everyone...city life or country life, whatever each heart dreams. A life uniquely theirs.
I've had to pause 5 mins in to say, if you turn the rose over on your watering cans so the holes ar pointing u, you get a more gentle spray of water onto your seedlings.
It's amazing how in one year you guys have done so much to that property. The property is coming together beautifully. Can't wait for the summer to see it in all of its beauty. Congrats on the cottage. God bless you and Charlie and the boys.💖
Love when you and Charlie do vlogs together especially SUNDAY ROASTS!!! You are so good together, and I love your conversations!!! Thx
A lot of smaller hotels and b&bs just have a few shaker style hooks for coat hangers, instead of wardrobes - as yours will be a holiday cottage, rather than a home, you don’t need to go overboard with the storage. I’m glad I don’t have to wallpaper the top bedroom, with all the different angles!
Oooh that sounds good!
@@JosieIrons such a beautiful view all around away from things it's just so peaceful relaxing and scenery it's as if time has stood still. and the kind of pleasantness that is often found and you are beautiful.
I just love Josie & Charlie!! Her voice is very sweet & calming.
And I love Al the gardening & poring crafts. I love everything that she loves!
Potting designs.
My keyboard is acting crazy🙃
This is like a dream come true. I have fallen in love with the UK because of your youtube channel and it has now become a dream of mine for a few years to visit and now I will not be staying any place else then your cottage. Hopefully in a couple of years I can stay there on my honeymoon. Can't wait. So excited for you!
First of all, congrats on this amazing investment! But what I really wanted to say is that you are lucky to live in an area you love so deeply ❤️ I live in Piedmont, northern Italy, and I love this place so much that all I want is everyone else to feel the same about their own home and their own places. We all can see you love the Cotswolds so much and it’s lovely: you will never feel lonely or sad, even in the worst days there will be something special surrounding you that will make you the happiest 💕
I recently started following your vlog and now I see where some of your vloggers friends are getting their ideas from. You are absolutely amazing, because not only you have excellent taste in fashion and interior - love your simplicity - but you're doing your own little projects not just putting make up like many of similar vloggers do. I just respect the effort you're putting your time and energy in, so I'm soo glad I found your channel. Love from Slovenia ❤︎❤︎❤︎
TOTALLY AGREE 😊
Josie you are the hardest working TH-camr for sure ! I absolutely love how you have utilized literally every inch of your sweet make do green house ! I hope you get your dream green house soon ( not that you even need a big ole posh one 😁)
Keep up the good work you & Charlie are so genuine & hard working 🥰🥰xxx
Congratulations on your investment property! It is a good business decision, considering we'll be unable to travel overseas for the next long while, people will look to their own country to go exploring. Stoked for you guys and your bright, bright future x
While everyone’s been buying their first Birkins, you on the other hand has yet bought another property 😉 you are such an inspiration Josie. With the right property and enough savings, I know I’ll be getting mine soon to. Bet everyone’s going to start copying you anytime soon 😝
Lets be real she inherited her money. Her influencer career is pretty basic 300k insta and not much on youtube. Other girls with birkins like lydia their earning potential os ten times higher than hers. Plus its self made
@@leerundle1613 Ha! Lydia Brand Beggin' Millen can't renew a contract (or pronounce a brand name) to save her dim little life. Outside of ByTerry, KM and Intimissimi, there is a reason why *major brands don't renew contracts with Lydia* - classless, too much drama (the entire Nicki fiasco), vapid, and overall a horror to work with according to quite a few PR girls. Josie presents less brand risk and isn't a brand beggar like Lyd's ... who shamelessly grovels for free stuff 24/7. Lyd's buys *very* little of what she advertises, follows brands on social media and then begs for it - and hawks the rest when she needs a few bucks. Get a clue. LMAO
I can imagine your small, beautiful cottage in natural color of wooden parts, and the walls and furniture in the colors of sage and lavender! Love from Serbia 🇷🇸❤
Jeeej, još neko iz Srbije gleda ovaj kanal! Pozdrav :D
We have a lake front holiday cottage in Ontario and we love it but what I will say is that in 8 years we have never rented it out. It was our original intention however once we made it our own we never wanted to have strangers stay in our personal space 😁. Perhaps you will be better at that part. Congrats!
Totally understandable!😉
I’m in Ontario Canada too and my husband and I have just started looking for a cottage up north. So excited! 🇨🇦
That vase is GORGEOUS! I absolutely adore the rabbit heads on it.
I love the cottage. Ooohhh so many ideas. 1. With the secondary bedroom, I think the wall that you’re going to put the bed on done in a board and batten, painted a pale blue with a cream on the wall. Paired with a beautiful floral blue curtain and bedding, cottage core perfection. Agree on the wood floor and either sanding the beams or wrapping them in natural wood. 2. With the master bed, you would have an easier time getting one of those mattresses in a box and opening it in the room. 3. For the master bedroom, natural wood floor and beams or wrapped in natural wood. 3. In the master bedroom, get rid of the rail and do a hip height built-in in its place for a dresser for storage. You could also do something similar to your dressing room against the sloped walls with built ins. Agree on the wall paper all over. Love the vlog as always!!
It's so lovely that you are content and find joy in your surroundings.
While external beauty is wonderful, finding peace is a mindset
and anyone can do it no matter where you are.
I feel very lucky where I am too.
I live on a beautiful lake with fairy tale trees in the Midwest of the USA.
Congrats on your new cottage! It would be a DREAM to stay there after it's done. As an American, I've been living the English country life fantasy through you and I'm so excited to see it continue.
Who else thought that pizza was going to be much larger based on the size of the box? 😆 Also, I hope this ornamental pears are different than the Bradford pears in the states. Although ours are pretty the blooms smell like urine and the trees don't do well with strong winds.
We made white rose beds in just the same way when we moved into our house. We underplanted them with white tulips and narcissi, followed by white alliums, and plant white cosmos for later summer each year. My only suggestions is to make them wider than you have marked out. The house proportions would lend itself to that, you can always do it at a later date. Both our girls have been married with them as a back drop.
Our house and garden is a bit bigger than yours, it’s now been a work in progress for 23 years - you never finish. Have a lovely time planning it all
Someone may have told you already but the flowers outside the cottage are hyacinths they come in pink blue and purple. They are super fragrant and bloom early every spring. I have some purple ones in bloom now and love them.
Suggestion: in the room with the square box in the corner, create a builtin incorporating that box. You could build shelves above it, slightly recessed from the edges, add coving, and you’ve got a smart little display and storage area for guests. If you added a top to the box that stuck out over the edge you could create a little deal area with shelves as well. This way that box is camouflaged a bit and looks like a built in.
I love how you encourage each other. My dream is to one day buy a house and enjoy the renovation process with my family as much as you do 🥰
Love the plans for the new cottage, adore the green and gold colour scheme but I'm with Charlie about the stove, I think a traditional black stove would suit the cottage best but looking forward to following your progress with your new project
Gold and green lol so tacky.
Just a tip - ornamental pear trees are absolutely beautiful but do not stand up well to heavy winds. My parents property had a long line of them alongside the road and unfortunately they all had to be taken down (many many years after planting) due to splitting or branches breaking during storms. Granted, they were planted in 1978 and were taken up in the 2010s so that’s a pretty great return on investment.
I’d put a door stop on your gym doors... if the wind catches it it might smash. The little bathroom, I’d put tile on the whole side wall rather than just the shower. Looks very choppy now. Very excited for your new cabin. 👍❤️
Congratulations!!✨✨ the flowers outside your cottage are hyacinths. They are a quintessential spring bloom - Persians celebrate the spring equinox as their new year and hyacinths are a part of the decorations in every persian (Iranian) household at this time of year ✨
I think there were negative comments because we were hungry and jealous of the delicious dinner you and Charlie shared. I was wondering where my invite was and I remembered Covid of course, otherwise my place setting would have been set. A long flight from Los Angeles but totally worth it for Charlie’s cooking. Yes, I would have done the washing up. The French fries looked and smelled delicious from across the pond.
Cheers!
The cottage reno will be such fun to watch! Congratulations! A great and creative way to expand your investment/income options. The pink flowers at the cottage are hyacinth - bulbs that typically bloom in spring - and are often forced for early blooming in pots and vases. They have a very strong smell and can irritate anyone with seasonal allergies when displayed inside. The tiny purple flowers are muscari - not weeds - but a bulb that can be planted - also known as grape hyacinth. If planted they will self propagate in a way similar to snow drops. Our spring flowers: crocus, muscari, tulips, daffodils, narcissus, and more are blooming here in middle America.
I’m getting reacquainted with all things Fashion Mumblr and now I’m binge watching… the arrangement here is STUNNING… and now I’m desperate to fly over from Atlanta, Georgia to your Cotswolds cottage!!!!
My sister in low is using artificial plants and branches as a base, then is adding real fresh flowers to finish off the flower arrangement in her display vase. For Easter she is adding painted eggs on a stick, combined with chocolate eggs. Love your vlogs and congratulations on your cottage. x
I'm back with a few more comments 😄
1. In agreement with many others, I would do the minimum necessary to get the holiday cottage up and running, at least for the first year. Then you can gauge what else to do, based on comments and feedback.
2. I'm sure there will be plenty of people in the village happy to take excess seedlings off your hands
3. I absolutely ADORE your easter displays - they look wonderful
And finally - you didn't tell us about Lala!
I am SO EGGCItED about this 😭 !!!! Ps. You inspired me as you know with law of attraction 😍❤️😍❤️ sooooo excited to hear everything omg! You’ve also inspired me to look for a cottage, manifesting it 🥰❤️
How awesome is that to get a cottage?! I know you're going to make it beautiful. I can't wait to see the transformation. I love seeing how well your plants are growing. They are doing good! I'm impressed. Thank you so much for this amazing vlog! I always look forward to them! Hope your day is bright!
Really cute! I'd be wary of upgrading and updating too much in a vacation home. People sometimes break things, kids destroy or spill on something, etc. and don't really need a super luxe vacation spot....most people just want a simple, clean, and cozy spot to stay in. You'll make a better profit that way too and save yourself some money!
Beautiful cottage purchase! Definitely country cottage style: beams, wood panels, sage greens, brass everything, the weird ledge is a bedside table with a floral arrangement, wall mounted side lights to save space. Beef up the tiny slanted shelves and continue them around the chimney instead of a blocking armoire, keeps the room airy. Mini boot nook is perfect because the door will block the hall. Floral Roman shades at the little windows.
Congrats on the new cottage! You guys are winning at life.
I think the original floorboards should be utilized! They’ll look great when refinished.
Wallpaper on the ceiling in attic bedrooms is cottage core perfection
The flower arrangement came out better then the magazine,... beautiful!
Josie you are young, you have time to move different places, that is life. Enjoy it!
Josie you say you are not a painter,but you are one awesome decorator & a creative. I want you to know how much I appreciate all what you do to bring your beautiful blogs to us . Have a lovely week you Charlie & the boys ( Judy from Pennsylvania )
Stunning Josie! Those pink flowers are hyacinths by the way. There is a lovely proverb from the Middle East: "if of thou mortal goods thou art bereft, and from thy slender store two loaves alone are left, sell one, and with the dole, buy hyacinths to feed the soul". They smell incredible and are nice to buy in January to sweep away Christmas and bring in the fresh new year xxxxxxxx
Congratulations on your new cottage rental adventure! Based on what youv'e shown us in your own home and Lala's Place, the decor in the cottage is going to be amazing!! Your enthusiasm and energy to accomplish all that you do is to be commended. You are high on life, my dear, and it is wonderful to see you and Charlie partnering so easily. As we head into our third lockdown here in Ontario Canada, your Vlogs are truly a lifesaver. Can't wait to see what you have in store for us!!
Huge congratulations Josie! Such a beautiful cottage, reminding me of ‘The Holiday’. Can’t wait to see what you do with it. Your work ethic is incredibly inspirational, well done!
The holiday cottage was much nicer. Her work ethic she barely has work
Charlie posing up the ladder 🤣🤣🤣 so cute and funny. Purple blue flowers. Muscari grape hyacinths - again, a spring flower. Personally, I love them. I don’t consider them weeds. I have loads in my garden. Love the Easter Vase. This vlog has been so entertaining 😀😀
Parks and Rec 💆♀️🛍🤑 Congrats on the cottage! So excited to see it’s transformation!
So exciting! What a dream! I don't even have a small apartment (flat) nor a car so let alone a house xD. I feel like I'm living in a dream when I watch Josie's video and it makes me hopeful ^_^
This level of wealth is impossible to achieve for the vast majority of people without inheritance/luck. I’d wish you luck, if you don’t have the inheritance, but this kind of wealth is not necessarily admirable. If I think about it for more than a moment, it makes me ill. Considering how our resources are so unjustly distributed is utterly depressing...
I’m in the same boat @petitsjoujoux
This is so dreamy and also makes me hopeful and inspired!
@@mortviolette284 You brought some very good points :) Thank goodness, I don't intend to strive to have what Josie has. I'm a violinist who makes about 25k Canadian a year teaching kindergarten kids music. Unless I'm good at investment, I'll never have the amount of money she has xD. But I do love her style and perhaps I can recreate a small room with similar feel while thrifting!
I think it is wonderful what they are doing and accomplishing. It feels like we are a part of her journey even though she doesn't really know us at all. The wealth distribution or inheritance isn't how you make it. It is believing you can do or be anything you want and not being too afraid to dream. Look at many successful people that came from nothing. They didn't whine because of wealth distribution, they believed and never gave up. Good for You and Charlie, I am so happy for you. Thankyou so much ,for sharing your li love of life with us. I wish you much enjoyment in you new venture.
Josie & Charlie,
Congratulations 🎉🎊🍾 on your new cottage project! I can’t wait to see it! 👩🏻🍳🤗
You two look so happy. Congratulations and good luck. What a nice feeling to see your seedlings sprouting as well.
The cottage is lovely but do think again about the stair rope. My cousin had one and an elderly guest pulled it iff the wall, i persuaded her to have a hand rail, which if you are having guests would be much safer
Would imagine as a let, they will have building regs and health n safety n fire regs to consider too.
Also, if people want to rent the home with small children. It maybe a serious draw back!
If I were considering renting a cottage in the Cotswolds I would want it to look like a Beatrix Potter home---all old world, large gardens, wall papered rooms(yes Charlie) , crackling fires, quaint English teacups & porcelain dishes.....no modern except for the bathroom with a claw footed tub! I would not want to do much cooking so a tiny old fashioned Aga for looks and a microwave hidden away. Big flowery printed down filled quilts & goose feather pillows with lush wool throws for reading in a big overstuffed velvet chair. Horse prints or bucolic scenes framed in old gold frames on the walls alongside a small filled bookcase with old poetry & art books. Josie you could take your overflow of seed starts to throw in beds outside your new cottage. If you start putting your remodel in your intro to your video maybe it will attract a new type of subscriber and you could finally get to 500,000 . In lieu of that, how about starting a new vlog called Cotswoldmumbler? Love your video today & every time you post.
That’s true that in North America (I’m in Canada) we call it the third floor, which now that I think of it makes no sense. In an office building with an elevator we call the ground floor the lobby and the next floor up is the first floor. Not sure why it’s different in houses!
Thank u Josie and Charles for demonstrating how the doors of the gym opens....love those big doors..inspo for my future home
I will always support you guys!!! We are all on this together. Super Excited like Vlogmas!!!❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
Wooow, new house, congratulations! Excited for new homeware haul and design ideas!! 😍😍😍😍
Thanks for for sharing So much more that your fashion life with your subscribers. It’s so much fun joining you and Charlie as create this new chapter of your lives.
It’s odd, we are the same age, however I draw so much inspiration from you! You have become an idol to me! Thank you for all that you do! I’m always so excited to tune into these vlogs! Take care x3
Maybe those organic latex mattresses constructed of layers that can easily be rolled up could be an option for getting a king size up there? Apparently those latex mattresses are amazing.
I have one. It is amazing, and I thought the same.
The one that comes in a box.....?
I LOVE the cottage idea! Would love to stay there so so much! So exciting!!
The little box area that Charles suggested some flowers to be placed on, might be able to be hidden as a table or desk perhaps? A wood table top might be able to be placed over the square and overlap it a little, with a couple of chairs pulled up? It would be so nice to have some of the touches of your own beautiful home added to the cottage. I love the firewood storage idea and the front entrance cupboard reformation idea. I love all the beautiful nooks and crannies.
I just loved this !!! I enjoy all the things you and Charlie are doing. I am from the US, looking forward to all things around the house, your gardening, videos, cooking, beauty, and fashion. I So look forward to seeing the garden when things bloom and what is happening with your beautiful homes. Your gym area is amazing! Loved the cottage and can't wait to see what it looks like when you are done with it. So exciting!!!
The pink flowers are hyacinth, they come in blue, peach, yellow, pink and white. The blue smell amazing!!! Congrats on purchasing the cottage!
I also treated myself this week to a new copper watering can. I just think they are so gorgeous. Yours is quite special! The area you live in is absolutely beautiful!
Good Evening Josie - This was a delight to watch. Congratulations on the purchase and what a smart investment 🎉🎊🏠💖👑
The gym is looking fabulous, those doors are certainly well made. The garden and the external grounds in general are looking brilliant, the end result will be spectacular 🌳🏡🌲
You both share so much information in your vlogs and it is so useful. Thank you! I am enjoying how you combine home, garden, lifestyle, beauty, fashion etc content in your vlogs. As well as cameo appearances by Dexter and Dickens lol 🐶🐶
Congrats Josie and Charlie! Looking forward to how you will transform this cottage beautifully.
How exciting, looking forward to seeing your vision & progress. Maybe in the 2nd bed room you could build a cupboard over over the stair box for guests to keep clothes in, either shelves or hanging & your could add beading to match the wall it will all blend in and you would'nt notice the protruding stair box, also mount a large mirror to one side
of it to make the room appear bigger???
An hour and 17 mins?! Yaasss!! ❤️❤️❤️
The blue flowers are grape hyacinths, small version of the pink ones. Very much not a weed. Sown by small bulbs and self seeding. Great video. Love the cottage. Cozy rental. Your pronunciation of muscari is spot on.
Congratulations! Loved the cottage. Idea for the upper bedroom - if the room is long enough, you can have a wardrobe behind the bed. Just build a wall behind the bed headboard with around 50 cm or less from the actual wall, and put rales and shelves inside, the access will be from either sides of the bed. And when you stand in front of the bed you will not see that there’s a wardrobe, it will be just a wall behind the bed.
Josie, I would reconsider wallpaper on a rental for sure because if someone damages it by marking it you will have to replace it. I would make it as light and airy as possible because of the smaller spaces. I'd skip paneling because it's dark and can be dented. My friends own a chalet rental and people can do some bizarre things to a place. I'd be sure not to buy the highest-end items in the kitchen or bathroom.
Love the cottage! The pink flowers in the garden are Hyacinths by the way. But don't forget wardrobes in those bedrooms because anyone staying will want somewhere to put their clothes.
Congratulations on your new property purchase . Very excited to watch the transformation. Love your Easter display xxx
Congrats to you both 🤩 The most hardworking couple ❤️
Hardworking how? Gardening and online shopping? What most people spend their weekends doing in between work? Geeeezzzzzz.
Did you think about that before you typed it? You do realise Josie & Charlie will read this? Do you follow them? If so , I’m intrigued why you follow if you’re going to be so negative towards them
I watch them an enjoy their content but you surely can’t think that being an influencer is the most difficult job. I’m not saying they don’t work for what they have but it is not the most taxing job and they earn a lot of money from it. I think healthcare workers etc have a much harder job and get paid significantly less. I think that’s what Julie was saying.
Definitely go for cosy cottage vibes with pretty floral wallpaper with Warm white, sage green and pink colours🤍 maybe get someone in to design it as you won't make too much mistakes then! Looks beautiful and would definitely spend a long weekend in your lovely cottage x
Well I know where my vacation in England will be! My daughter wanted for so long to visit England and I am sure you will do amazing work inside as you are the most sophisticated youtuber ever! Congratulations it's a very good choice!
Congrats on the cottage! Once the Josie and Charlie touch has been added It will be absolutely gorgeous. Love these long videos...so much to see 🥰
Oh my gosh how exciting 🥰😍 I am from germany and because of you I heard of the cotswolds the first time when you moved last year and I directly fell in love with the beauty! And I planned on travelling there after covid, but now you are going to have a cottage? So great 🥰🥰 can you already tell for how much you want to rent the house? I really would love to go there with my boyfriend 😊
🐼 Big Bear Hugs from a 67 yr old grandma in Kirby, Texas, USA 🐼......
Congratulations on your new property.
I would remove the plaster ceiling in the possible master bedroom with spots so you gain extra height and tradition. Can’t wait to see your work on this as you have such great ideas
My goodness. I feel so spolied😊 New vlog! Keep it coming. Love watching your vlog and congratulation on your new small house. Cannot wait to see you styling it.
Please make a money management advice video with Charlie
Seconded!
It is simple u inherit money.u really think all this comes from her youtube career🤣 She would have to have 2 million atleast on insta and 80000 views a vid om youtube.
Josie, what you might want to try out for any new arrangements you make for the large planter is adding an oasis block into the bottom of the planter. That way, you can stick your stems right into it a they are held up perfectly. By the way, the structure you created for the stems in the pot is called a frog and you can find lots of them in antique shops. 🥰
The HIGHLIGHT of this video was Charlies new ladder.. lol. How exciting that you have purchased a cottage to share the Cotswold experience for future guests... I am very excited to watch this enchantment unfold.
Fantastic video. Congrats on new home Josie & Charlie. Happy Easter.
The “ weeds” you purchased are GREAT for honey bees! I have them scattered all over my yard for a spring food source.
Love the original everything. Pull the carpet up, clean the floors and let them be original. Love your ideas about the kitchen and bathroom. All the original things I would use somewhere. JMO...visiting the Cotswalds for a vacation I would want to see an authentic cottage with quaint decor. I really wouldn't think luxury, I would want the experience of the time it was built. The top floor would be good with a wardrobe and a tall mirror on the wall instead of a vanity that would take up space. That's something we admire about the UK. Keeping your old beautiful architecture that you can't even try to create these days. Whatever you do will be lovely. From the 🇺🇸
Congrats on your holiday cottage. I am wanting to do the same thing where I live. I have stayed in holiday cottages when I vacation in England. It is the only way to travel. You are going to have fun fixing it up and decorating it. I think making it cottage cozy will really add to the charm and wow factor. Bare wood floors with pretty rugs and wall paper (which is very in right now) would look fantastic.
Congratulations on the new cottage! It looks so promissing! Since you moved to the Cotswolds I am dreaming of traveling there some time in the future, when the situation allows it. I am from Germany and have been to a few different towns/cities in England (including London, of course). It never crossed my mind to visit the country side, because we have such beautiful nature in Germany, so no need to travel, I thought. But your videos reminded me, that it is really not the same - especially the whimsical little villages' architecture! Who knows, maybe I will even have the honour of staying at your cottage someday!
Hi Josie what fabulous news about your Cottage. You and Charlie must be so excited. Looks very nice inside and I'm sure both of you will make it look stunning.The gym look fantastic the doors are awesome. Thanks so much for sharing.💞💞💙
Love your new cottage venture... right up my alley, and how I would enjoy that project! Oh how clever you and your Charlie are to feather your own beautiful nest whilst having fun decorating a charming little money maker. Well done!
Totally hooked on your vlogs🌸
you guys....The gym looks marvelous. I wasn't expecting all glass doors, considering summers, but it works. Those trees down the driveway will be beautiful. Love the garden restores in plan!
