As a Hawaiian I really appreciated the acknowledgement of native land ❤️ it makes a difference when the people you support also support people like you ❤️❤️
What really makes this series for me is that you guys are helping family businesses thrive. Like people will go to these places just to stay there. And the owner can charge a little extra for their new specialty cabins 😍
@sparklythings21 I kinda agree! I don’t like all the stock music and I miss the authenticity of their old style. I appreciate they’re trying something new but it’s not really my jam. OG subscriber here and long time fan so nothing but
it's a lot of work to keep clean and dust free though. While I don’t mean to discredit the owners of these cabins, do a quick google search on how clean hotel rooms really are. I’m sure everyone would love to think that their hotel is spotless when you arrive for your holiday, it often isn’t the case, especially when it comes to kitchenware. Good of y’all to be optimistic about the “deep clean between guests” though.
@@missdelaney When you give the place a clean every few days to weeks in between guests I don't think that's as much of an issue as it is for a 'normal' kitchen
@@missdelaney you have to clean thoroughly between guest anyways, so it wouldn't be that big of an issue as in private homes where there is way more stuff that gets forgotten in the back of the cupboard...
As an Indigenous person, I just want to say thank you for that brief land acknowledgment. Love this and I hope this helps more individuals think about the Indigenous people, their lands, and current Indigenous affairs and news.
The camera work and editing was on a whole new level you guys! Also it was interesting seeing you handle a bit of stress and a slump. I think it would be interesting to hear your honest thoughts on frustrating moments during projects! I think renovation can be super frustrating and stressful too and I know my partner and I can get a bit moody with each other when we're in the thick of things. I'd love hearing your thoughts on how you deal with frustration during projects and in working together, and how you go about keeping your eyes on the prize. Great work you guys!
The team always do a great job with the B-Roll, the angles, the editing, the styling but the entire production in the last few weeks has just been a step beyond! Keep up the good work to everyone behind the scenes you're doing amazing!
It's crazy how everytime I start watching one of this episodes I think: "This will never work!" And than it always turns out adorable and cool and amazing!
At first I was a little hesitant about the 50s theme, but you nailed it! Also, the outfits matching the theme were so pretty. Becky, I think red might be your color. You looked so good!
can we all PLEASE take a second to appreciate the editing at 9:24!!!!! (Edit: this entire video is a cinematic masterpeace! From the shots to the sound track, im baffled!!! It looks amazing guys! well done!)
Does the van get a new sticker/magnet for every place you and the crew make over ?! Like a stamp on passport ? Didn’t notice that until now - I LOVE it !
Kelsey says "you'll only know what this for if you're from a certain" geographic spot: white plastic pour jug for BAGS OF MILK. I've read that half of Canadian milk consumers get their milk in plastic sacks.
Yes, but also no because Cypress (its a tree not a bush) don't have massive roots like for example chestnut or smth, so they will not ruin the porch or temples of the cottage.
As a self-proclaimed TSG Protector, I adore this channel! Not only are you both brilliant designers but I love that you guys stay true to your designs and aren’t swayed by the “concerns” or criticisms of ppl in the comments🖤 I work for a contracting/home renovations company and I know how hard it is to take creative liberties but still understand your clients and honor their input and budget. Right On Girls!! 💪🏽 Keep making it happen!💕
Plus, they do it while working on a strict 💲budget and with ⏰time constraints. It would be different if they had some big retail sponsor. Although I like to see their thriftiness and creativity upcycling items as well as reusing some of the owners things. 🦆 Glad the fowl figures stayed in the design. Liked the overall fun 50s vibe! 💚 Bridget from Cali ☘️ ((using my pal's YT acct)
I have just got to say, I've been watching for like 6 years now. Your content is becoming more and more professional, I sometimes forget that this is TH-cam and not television. So amazing!
😉 Don't think it will be an issue. These evergreens are commonly planted along fences and decks. They will create a natural barrier〰️ giving any visitors🫂 a much needed sense of privacy. 🌿They won't expand too much, but they will grow quite tall. They are more of a bush vs tree. 😎They're pretty hardy plants, drought-tolerant 💦, and fairly maintenance free. Although once it reaches the desired height, it's a good idea to keep 'em trimmed on top. 💚 Bridget from Cali ☘️ (using my pal's YT acct)
Actually, a fun tip I learned from one of my plant groups: apparently, if you dig a square hole for trees when you plant them, the gain height a little faster because the roots have more of the loose soil to spread into. :D
Can we talk about how Becky and Kelsey work together like clock work! its amazing how they have worked together for so long and I admire their team work! keep it up ladies!
👚 Me too. 💕 Miss TSG thrift fashion challenges 📸. Whether they try to dupe looks from popular online retail catalogs, create unique "event" looks, or simply upcycle outdated garments ♻️. The pair have such fun style & confidence. 😉Also enjoy seeing them rewear their outfits later in the series. They are never bland or boring🎉! 💚 Bridget from Cali ☘️ (using my pal's YT acct)
I actually love that you guys didn't make a lot of big changes to this space. It just goes to show how sprucing up a few things and moving the furniture around can really bring new life to a space
Please don't stop these series!!!! Love how you fill people with so much joy. Love the editing! And I agree with the other comments, it was nice to see you less 'perfect' that when you DIY not everything is working. You nailed it girls. Sara Nena DIY
I’ve been going back and watching some of the old episodes. These are so fun upgrade my stay. I’ve also been enjoying watching Rachel’s upgrading different items. I love how your business continues to grow and you’ve added new staff.
Wait I love this!!! I was worried because the last episode was such a dramatic change and this seemed more subtle but it turned out AMAZING. I love the theme and the incorporation of the old photos. Ugh 10/10
Every time I watch these I’m unsure throughout the process but I know TSG knows what they’re doing so I trust the process and I’m blown away every. Single. Time. It’s amazing.
Ok right now I’m so excited bc I’m you guys are uploading so much and I’m waiting for a stock pile so I can sit back and binge all of them at the end of the week
The little thing for milk immediately brought me back to my last time in Canada almost 2 years ago. Can’t wait to be living there for the near future starting this August!
I love this series of Upgrade my stay because it feels like I’m actually watching a show, not a TH-cam channel. Shout out to you and your film/ editing team, you can tell how much work goes into these episodes!!!! ❤️
Can I just say how much I've been appreciating the land acknowledgements in these recent videos? As non-FNMI Canadians, it is so important to remember the entirety of Canadian history. Thank you. Oh, and having grown up in Montreal and Toronto, I didn't realized until I moved to Edmonton in my mid-20s that bagged milk isn't even a thing outside Ontario and Quebec.
Great makeover! Love it! Brought back so many memories, especially the green bench at the dining table. My family had one of those in our house and my mom did canning on it, on our back porch! She made the best home made ketchup from the tomatoes in our garden! 😀💓
I love this one! Feels like you really respected the feel of the original cabin. If frequent visitors come to stay, like the owner said, they will still recognise the place while it clearly feels refreshed and updated. I'd love to stay here!!
Absolutely shredding. Whoever edits and films this needs a medal
Literally was thinking the same thing!!
I think its because they get extra funds from Bell Media for producing this series
So funny when Becky was shopping and Kelsey struggled with the light!
Fun fact! They always put who edits the video in their description box. :)
Jake Doforno
The quality of this series is NEXT LEVEL!!! Netflix who?
💯
Right!? I'm here for it!
The most genius editing when Becky was thrifting and Kelsey was trying to do the light lmaoooo
Yes, loved it, too!
Kelsey about to go full hulk mode, and Becky just skipping around her happy place 😁
I was laughing my ass off. So funny. Great editing job!
Kelsey is ME in this video. Everything she tries gives her trouble 😩😩
Yessss😂😂😂 i laughed so much!
Kelsey looking like a modern Dorothy and then saying “we’re not in Toronto anymore.” 😂
My thoughts exactly!
Oh I didn’t think about that one, my first thougt seeing Kelsey in that outfit was Wendys logo, like the resturant!
**Chronno 😂😂
@@celestialhattie same haha😂
And when she was in the field picking flowers, reminded me of the poppy scene.
TSG content has just been unbelievable lately. HGTV could never.
Hgtv would tear the place down, spend 10000000000 dollars and called a diy
They should have a show on HGTV
I WAS THINKING THIS like i would love for TSG to get their own show but i don’t know if it could ever be as good as as they already do it!! Lol
So good! I hope they can get captions accessible soon so I can fully enjoy their content.
Netflix, like Helooo 👀
I really appreciate that y’all are acknowledging the indigenous people of the land at the start of these!
Shout out editor JAKE DOFORNO crrrrrushin' this series
Seriously the creative editing between "scenes" is top tier.
He's killin it
Everyone say THANK YOU JAKE
I really appreciate that y'all recognize the indigenous land. Hopefully, in the future you can work more with the tribes or other minority groups
This
Agreed!!
I agree. And just a random language note, they aren’t called “tribes” in Canada. They are “nations” or “bands”.
Yes! Would love this!
That would be so cool, I’d love to see that!
As a Hawaiian I really appreciated the acknowledgement of native land ❤️ it makes a difference when the people you support also support people like you ❤️❤️
Yes I’m Native Hawaiian also 💖
Okay I'm glad someone said that they noticed too!
Eō Hawaiʻi ✊🏽
Glad to see some Hawaiians on here!
What really makes this series for me is that you guys are helping family businesses thrive. Like people will go to these places just to stay there. And the owner can charge a little extra for their new specialty cabins 😍
I love the tv show style editing of this series
Sameeeee!
Idk feels overdone. I like the TH-cam feel!
They should be on Netflix!
@sparklythings21 I kinda agree! I don’t like all the stock music and I miss the authenticity of their old style. I appreciate they’re trying something new but it’s not really my jam. OG subscriber here and long time fan so nothing but
Becky’s having a lovely, fun shopping trip while Kelsey is having a mini mental break down 🤣
she had a total of three mental breakdowns in this episode 😂
That was fantastic editing!
The owner was so cute. How she was excited about every detail. Literally unbelievably wholesome
Yes, love her.
The “tip extension” bit and the thrifting vs hanging the light editing, sent me🤣
19:30 " I think you're lying, no one has 8 inches off the tip extension" XD dying of joy rn
Plus, open shelving makes a lot of sense for rentals -- guests don't have to open all the cupboards to find a coffee mug :)
it's a lot of work to keep clean and dust free though.
While I don’t mean to discredit the owners of these cabins, do a quick google search on how clean hotel rooms really are. I’m sure everyone would love to think that their hotel is spotless when you arrive for your holiday, it often isn’t the case, especially when it comes to kitchenware.

First world problems
As an Indigenous person, I just want to say thank you for that brief land acknowledgment. Love this and I hope this helps more individuals think about the Indigenous people, their lands, and current Indigenous affairs and news.
A land acknowledgment?! 🥺 Becky said the name of my nation 😭
this is the second one I have seen by them. gives me goosebumps! sending a hug.
Can we just appreciate the fact that Becky and Kelsey can renovate, demo, garden, and design in the coolest and trendiest outfits ever? 💖🔨
All without getting paint on them too!
YES to the land acknoledgement
(and cute outfits!!)
So great that they went to support local thrift stores and used sweet little wildflowers. Love this energy so much.
It was the “sunscreen moment” for me 😆
Kelsey having a curtain melt down is what I needed to see! 😂❤️
The camera work and editing was on a whole new level you guys! Also it was interesting seeing you handle a bit of stress and a slump. I think it would be interesting to hear your honest thoughts on frustrating moments during projects! I think renovation can be super frustrating and stressful too and I know my partner and I can get a bit moody with each other when we're in the thick of things. I'd love hearing your thoughts on how you deal with frustration during projects and in working together, and how you go about keeping your eyes on the prize. Great work you guys!
Right? Like Ikea furniture has ended relationships
Yes! The camera work and editing!!!!
I love that they showed a bit of those feelings aswell, not everything has to go smoothly
Becky’s red outfit looks so amazing on her. The hat and halter neck, the belt, the pants. I loveeee.
The whole montage of Kelsea putting the lamp on while Becky thrifts was hilarious for no reason I laughed a lot 😂
The team always do a great job with the B-Roll, the angles, the editing, the styling but the entire production in the last few weeks has just been a step beyond! Keep up the good work to everyone behind the scenes you're doing amazing!
It's crazy how everytime I start watching one of this episodes I think: "This will never work!" And than it always turns out adorable and cool and amazing!
The best 36 mins of my day!!!! The Sorry girls need to have their own show! Production quality is THE BEST
Omg that scene where you walk to the car to get the bushes??? FIRE! So good!
I was thinking the same thing! that was a one shot moment. Gold
I LOVE that you let the families walk around themselves and just spy on the reaction a bit! It comes off so much more natural and genuine. 💕
They did Kesley a dirty with Becky thrift shopping with music and cut to her just hammering in quiet
Ikr I’m dying of laughter
When she tries to turn on the light 😂😂
The sunscreen moment made up for it for sure!
Kelsey getting frustrated while becky enjoying shopping side by side is so cute! These videos make me feel so happy. Thankyou team TSG ❤️
At first I was a little hesitant about the 50s theme, but you nailed it!
Also, the outfits matching the theme were so pretty. Becky, I think red might be your color. You looked so good!
can we all PLEASE take a second to appreciate the editing at 9:24!!!!!
(Edit: this entire video is a cinematic masterpeace! From the shots to the sound track, im baffled!!! It looks amazing guys! well done!)
I cannot express how much I appreciate your callouts of the different native peoples.
The dedication to doing all this work in hot weather and still looking cute is admirable.
I know!! The jugs are for bagged milk and I’m not even from Canada 💖
I think a lot of countries used it I’m from Israel and we used it
@@queeng7975 im from South Africa and we have bagged milk and use these jugs as well!
I'm from Argentina and we have them as well
Mexico here. We have it too!
Slovakia here, we have it too😂
Does the van get a new sticker/magnet for every place you and the crew make over ?! Like a stamp on passport ? Didn’t notice that until now - I LOVE it !
I never comment on your videos, but just had to stop by to say thanks for the land acknowledgements. Love your work!
I'm obsessed with Becky's "walk and talk".
Off topic but their outfits are so CUTEEE!!!
I know, I was thinking the same. They match with the color scheme of the design too!
@@subarna.biswas ikr!!! 🥺
IKR!? Kelseys eyes just vibrating in this jacket! ❤️
Kelsey says "you'll only know what this for if you're from a certain" geographic spot: white plastic pour jug for BAGS OF MILK. I've read that half of Canadian milk consumers get their milk in plastic sacks.
I know! Becky looks like a Pin-up girl from the 50s and Kelsey is a cute Copper tone sunscreen baby 👍
I was Born in the 50's, loved the space, and especially the blue "Jetsons" coffee table .
Those bushes are planted waaayyyyyy to close to the porch!
Thinking the same thing.
They should have kept them in the pots
Yes, but also no because Cypress (its a tree not a bush) don't have massive roots like for example chestnut or smth, so they will not ruin the porch or temples of the cottage.
I was yelling “oh hell no!” A simple fence would’ve surfficed without the waiting to have privacy and all I thought was MOSQUITOES! Lol
I feel like it just half the view possible from the deck. But maybe the angles are actually a bit different
Shout out to Kelsey for finding inspiration in tissue boxes and coffee creamers
Love that you acknowledge the first nation's people and their connections to their land.
Kelsey's second day outfit is giving me major Dorothy vibes
"Let me show you some good stuff, gonna make you feel better" ...true friendship right there ! Great job ladies 😍

The production value is insane !! Love this
"It's been a long day..." poor Kelsey 😅 but the end result was stunning!! It was worth it.
The white container is for bagged milk lmao, we have that I Argentina too!
Sorry, Sorry Girls! You are not so special )) people use this container for milk in Russia as well.
Also in Israel 🇮🇱
We had this in South Africa as well, but it has disappeared in the last decade...
We had it in the 80ies in east Germany 😆
Canada Argentina
🤝
bagged milk
I love the part where becky’s just casually shopping while kelsey’s struggling with the hook 😂
I am dying at Kelsey struggling with the curtains. Like that is me
I have just got to say, I've been watching for like 6 years now. Your content is becoming more and more professional, I sometimes forget that this is TH-cam and not television. So amazing!
Oh no! The trees 🌲 are planted too close to the porch. As they grow, they’ll impede on the structure.
Impede on the structure is a very nice way to put "will completely destroy" 😂 easy to move thankfully 😆
😉 Don't think it will be an issue. These evergreens are commonly planted along fences and decks. They will create a natural barrier〰️ giving any visitors🫂 a much needed sense of privacy.

Yeah, you really need to give yourself at least a foot to 2 feet from any foundation.
Maybe they should keep a contractor/gardner/generalist on payroll.
Do not put the dirt up around the trunk as it will smother the cyprus. Leave a little trench. Good luck.
I really love and appreciate that you guys take the time to acknowledge who’s land you are on!!
Actually, a fun tip I learned from one of my plant groups: apparently, if you dig a square hole for trees when you plant them, the gain height a little faster because the roots have more of the loose soil to spread into. :D
The "tip extension" bit had me laughing haha
This style of editing is so fun. Made it seem like a little movie 🍿
I'm dying laughing watching Kelsey and Becky creep through the front window while they tour the house 😂
Me waiting for Kelsey to lose her absolute shit the entire episode
OMG The dinette chairs are identical to the ones we had growing up in the early 60's. Love them. Great job!
The moment where Kelsey was struggling to get the pendant light to work killed me. RIP Kelsey's patience 😭😭😭
Can we talk about how Becky and Kelsey work together like clock work! its amazing how they have worked together for so long and I admire their team work! keep it up ladies!
kelsey hanging the bedroom curtains: always a moment
TSG has become my absolute comfort channel over the pandemic, look forward to each and every episode 💗
The trees should have been planted a little bit farther from the deck…
Scared about the roots growing under the deck? Me too 😩
@@aviaviles1019 no it’s not that , eventually they will obstruct the deck
I said that to myself while watching.
And further apart from each other. Those roots are gonna be way overlapping
Yeah, we keep seeing mistakes with their planting. 🙁 I hope TSG see your comment and make adjustments in the future. Crossing my fingers.
This video is better than a TV show!! The quality, the variety of shots, the editing and the art are stunning!!!
The mom's reaction is so cuutee... *oh look at this look at that* 🥺
this vid needs to be renamed Kelsey's slow descent into madness
I MEAN… wow Im obsessed with the editing in this series
I’m BEGGING for more fashion content from you ladies!! 😍
👚 Me too. 💕 Miss TSG thrift fashion challenges 📸. Whether they try to dupe looks from popular online retail catalogs, create unique "event" looks, or simply upcycle outdated garments ♻️.

The cross edit between Kelsey and Becky was so good reminded of so many old movies
Loved the scene of Kelsey cutting the wildflowers! So glad you added in that cute little touch!
When the border opens back up I definitely need to start planning some Canadian-bound getaways at all the spots the TSG team has hit!!
Please don't stop these series!!!!
Love how you fill people with so much joy.
Love the editing! And I agree with the other comments, it was nice to see you less 'perfect' that when you DIY not everything is working.
You nailed it girls.

The pitcher that holds the bags of milk! 🙌😆
Only in Canada! 🇨🇦
I thought so! I don't live there but it was an easy guess.
Poland also has this, less popular nowadays tho.
Minnesotan here; we have bagged milk too!
In South Africa we also use those
And in England x( costa coffee shops ) xxx

They've blessed us with another video for this week!? I needed this.
Yes for the land acknowledgement again TSG! I really love that you start these videos this way.
I LOVE this series! It's literally fresh air to the spaces & for TH-cam aswell

That white container is for bagged milk. I still use my dark blue one, and it's 24 years old! 😀 And OMG, Becky, those are my plates!

Oh no poor Kelsey having such a hard time. 🙈 Feel her so much.
Aww love the little Mom/Daughter giggle at the end when the SG left. Great video!
