Welcome back to Upgrade My Stay, a show where we tackle vacation rental spaces that need a little Sorry Girls love and a whole lot of decor and DIYs. Today we got handed this BEAUTIFUL 1800s English stone mill that was used as a rental space in Perth, Ontario. This space already had so much beauty, so we really only needed to make everything tie in together and bring life back into the warn down areas. Watch as we upgrade this stone room into a cottage core / vintage rental space.

Ahhhh! We have been so excited to finally get to see the behind the scenes of how you managed to pull off the makeover!! Thank you Becky, Kelsey and the whole crew again SO much for an incredible experience! We are very grateful for all the work and love you put into the new design as well as the opportunity to have our guesthouse, and the town of Perth, featured on your channel! Please come stay, and actually relax, anytime ♥️
I really loved this episode and you both seemed so lovely and deserving - best of luck, I'm sure it will be a great success ☺️
Such a sweet couple, I'd love to stay there!
Your reaction was EVERYTHING 💕
U both are such an adorable couple and I hope this incredible make over is game changer for you. Much love from India 🇮🇳
You're reaction was so sweet and amazing! Im so happy a true deserving fan like you got the chance to have your beautiful property made over ❤
Seeing the spice racks
“Becky did these in her kitchen!” that’s one deserving fan right there 👏
so true!!
That's a true fan right there! ❤
this couple is literally the sweetest! the fact that he surprised her, and then dropped that little tidbit about her grandmother knowing… ahh what a way to end this season
I broke down when she found out her grandmother knew
I started crying when he said he asked granny for permission, so cuteeee
Kelsey: "I'm so sick of painting, lets get out of here"
Kelsey: *paints but with wine*
I came to comment this but I see you already did 😂
Kaylee Deering that's exactly what I thought
Hahahaha i came to write the same thing!!!!
Well yeah, wine makes it so much nicer!!!
LOL didn't even notice that..
Can we take a moment to appreciate what the guy did for his woman, and he looks very kind and cute as well!
This man freaking asked the grandma for permission and I’m crying too
@@jennazeuq ♥️🦋
Yeah, my dude would never do this for me.
Does he have brothers? Seriously this was just a sweet, beautiful space and they really did it justice. I love it
He is such a hunk! Swooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
I loved the reveal that the grandma knew the renovation was happening was so touching and really added to the meaning of this as now the girl can enjoy it without wondering if her nan would have been okay with it or not.
The painting of the nan as well was a wonderful touch, well done 👍
I’ve been seeing a lot of comments about how you guys deserve to have a show on a streaming platform. And I absolutely agree that this is quality content and I’d like to see more like it on paywall streaming platforms. But as somebody who works in the television industry I can’t stress enough how awesome it is to see you guys doing this level of production on your own terms, supporting your own team, and being able to control your creative content (not to mention your focus on sustainability - the film/tv industry’s footprint is too much!). I would never want any creator to sacrifice that to a larger conglomerate. Keep doing what you’re doing. Y’all are the future ✊
I think the same thing! They are in control of the production, designs and edit! TSG doesn't go to trendy, they are super respectful of the original space, and I love their slightly awkward editing humor! I wouldn't want that tainted by a large production company! But they totally deserve it!
This is so true!! They totally deserve their own show but you just can't put a price on them being able to do everything ON THEIR OWN TERMS. Thank you so much for this insight as someone already in the industry!
Exactly ... I'd rather have the series sponsored by like benjamen moore or something else they use and they keep full control of their show
+++
YES! Great to see a positive informed comment.
Becky teaching us all it’s okay to not return a compliment when we receive one, “I think your painting looks great” “thanks” *awkward silence*
Girl knows it’s not ok to lie! 🤣
Awww her reaction was the cutest! She's lucky to have him in her life
i know right!! they were the sweetest couple!
This series is seriously TOP TIER!!!
right its like the best reaction from the owner too~ aw she was so happy omggggggg
Wouldn’t bat an eye if it was on tv
Your parents watched extreme makeover and you watch upgrade my stay
TSG > HGTV
🗣 move that van 🗣
Thank you for acknowledging indigenous people and donating. Not enough ally’s do that, it’s so affirming to see. Continue blowing our minds with your content, y’all are appreciated!
I'm watching the video a bit later and my heart skipped a beat when she said that. I searched a bit for a comment that thanked them for it. I'm so thankful they did that as well. Could I love these two anymore?
Its lovely..thankfully its becoming more common in Canada...im in academia and this is something we always want to acknowledge...its common in liberal circles and fields (TIFF is an example)...even my daughter's public school starts with a land acknowledgement to start the morning announcements...so the fact that it is there in public education, its going to do great things for our future generations.
@@84naners wow, land acknowledgement in the mornings. That's so cool! I'm in NM and I've never heard of that before.
Kelsey’s breaker song is such a bop
someone need to make it an actual song!
"I don't want to die!"
Listening to her talk about her grandmother gave me chills. Makes me think my own Nonna is watching me watch y'all. 😍
I don't know what it was about this episode but I was happy crying the whole way through! Loved the story of the grandparents, Mitchel's surprise and Kate's whole reaction to the space was incredible! Gorgeous works girls, and to the whole production team behind the series! Really hoping for a season 2!!!!!
Me, too! So glad I´m not the only one. ;)
I can barely read the replies because I'm all in tears!
Same here 🤗
it's really nice to see Mark Brendanawicz doing so well after he left Pawnee
I couldn’t stop thinking about this hahaha
That’s what I thought
Wanted to comment to say that I really appreciate that you've been doing land acknowledgements in your videos and even more so that you have backed up your words with a donation to the NWAC! I love to see this becoming more normalized and hope to see more of it!
when she mentioned becky's shelfs i knew she was a real SG family member
You KNOW she’s a fan when she spotted the spice racks and knew exactly where they were from. If my hubby ever did this I think I’d die of excitement 😂
She had by far the best reaction out of any of these episodes. And you can really tell that she's a real real fan.
I imagined Becky shouting “pivot, pivot” while trying to push the mattress base 😂 #friendsrefernce
Sad is the series finale but I’m looking forward to more “upgrade my stay” 🙌🙌
Perth seems so beautiful. It feels like a Northern European city😍
I have exactly the same phrase in my mind,and i just sitting in front of the tv and say it say it Becky!! :D
Totally!! I was actually waiting for them to say that!!
I expected the entire comment section to full of “PIVOT!!!” comments. I was starting to think I was the only one but I have found my people 🤣
One more addition to the team of people who were waiting for “PIVOT”
I was shouting pivot in my head while watching!! ross what have you done to us 😭😭
I’m tearing up hearing that her grandmother knew that the Sorry Girls were coming!! What a special episode 🖤🖤
Y'all talking the bed up reminds me of that scene in friends where Ross keeps yelling 'PIVOT!!! ' when they're trying to get that sofa up the stairs 😂😂😂
a missed opportunity of yelling this line
I was screaming PIVOT while watching that. Haha,
I was on my way to make this comment. Literally started yelling pivot as soon as the stairs came into view. 😂🤣
Same!! Literally yelling at my phone 😅😂
No lies 😆😆
When she found out her gramma knew about this plan 😢 so heartwarming
I LOVED finding out with her that her grandmother knew about and blessed this makeover. Even though she must have believed her grandmother would be happy for them to do it there must have been some doubts so to know that she gave permission is so awesome.
Hand on heart, I love The Sorry Girls and everything they do so much that they are the only TH-camrs that I will suffer through all the ads for! Man, can you imagine if they actually made it on tv…I’d be so over the moon for them.
This is better in every way for them than a TV deal would be. I would be very surprised if they have not already turned down multiple broadcast deals.
I'm sure if they took on a tv show it'd be something they believe in.
But I'm sort of happy they aren't on tv. I like that they have the full creative control over what they're doing. I don't want anyone else involved telling them what to do.
I put them on utube on my tv screen just to get the whole show. Phone videos are ok but these girls and crew deserve bigtime
@@peggynorton5535 so very true!!! These are definitely big screen worthy.
Confession time - The Sorry Girls are the ones who made me finally sign up forTH-cam Premium, because I couldn’t stand the mid-roll ads anymore! 😝 I’ve been watching them for some years now (can’t be more specific, because what is time even?!), but I go through phases where I binge watch different channels and catch up… in the spring I started watching a bunch of TSG videos from my backlog, a lot of the time when I was washing dishes or cooking, so having to either put up with the ad interruptions or reach up and skip all the time (while wearing wet rubber gloves in the sink!! My poor iPad keyboard…), sent me over the edge.
the fact that this is free content for us to enjoy and watch on youtube blows my mind. I am one of the lucky ones to be able to say I've been here for years and watched you grow once you get your own network show!!
I really like how they made so small changes here and there and within so much less time and it made such a big difference. It looks achievable to people like us who are sitting in their homes and want to make their homes beautiful too.u inspired me a lot today.
My great grandmother passed in March and was also 94... I immediately started sobbing!! She so deserves this beautiful space for her family and I just know her grandma is watching over them always.
Husband was so sweet to pulling this off without her knowing! Also, Sorry Girls you have UP your game with these gorgeous videos, Production, Editing, it all looks like a TV show. Amazing job! I have enjoy watching this series and has inspire to have fun decorating. Greetings from Mexico.
You all deserve a show immediately!!! Like on Hulu or Disney+ or netflix! Y’all need to try to pitch it to streaming services or networks!!
CBC would pick it uuuuup
I think the point is that they don’t have a show.
Noo cause then it won’t be freeeee
@@leslylopez5325 damn. you're right.
Kelsey curses to much for Disney+ 😂
I can’t wait for her to watch this video and realize Becky hand painted her pond in her gallery wall
And also that they’ve commissioned the portrait of her grandmother from an artist to honour her in this beautiful house
First, it is beautiful how you acknowledge the land and the people in the intro. Class act ladies!
Second, This was my favorite makeover of the series. The room was gorgeous to begin with. I love the changes, subtle but very impactful. And the painting of Grandma was so special.
Kelsey: I'm so sick of painting. let's go outside
also Kelsey: *painting outside*
i can’t imagine the amount of satisfaction you girls gain when watching the reactions of the patrons you design for. thanks for constantly inspiring your clients and your viewers 🤍
"Upgrade my Stay" has been my favorite Sorry Girls series. I'm sad that this is the last episode, but this was a great one to end the series!
Hopefully next time it will be on Netflix or something. They deserve it❤️❤️such an amazing series.
I love when you redo fans places. They are so appreciative and it's so fun to watch their reactions!
Honestly I'm so sick of painting, it feels like it's all I've been doing all day , should we not paint anymore? Get out of here?
*goes painting*
Exactly what I was thinking
I like painting BUT I wonder what the cabinets and other wood surfaces would have looked like or if it’d last longer if they’d been stained instead.
But with wine 😂
love it :) Don't know how Becky gets stuff done in a kimono, I'd be tripping or getting paint all over it :) Kelsey so sweet, kept telling Becky how much she liked her painting :)
IKEA will never be the same; upon entering the store now, the first thing I will do is inhale deeply. Thanks Becky! Such a fun episode. Beautiful work.
Hi Sorry Girls,
Big fan of the videos you've been sharing with us lately! I was wondering if you could increase the accessibility of your content to me and other viewers by writing captions for your videos from here on out? It would make viewing your videos an even better experience. Thank you in advance!
Same! As I’m deaf and I need to have captions so this would be really helpful.
The best yet! not only esthetically beautiful but heartwarming beautiful as well! such a special thing yall accomplished! I wasn't near tears, you were near tears!
I know Becky dresses for fashion, but I just wonder how uncomfortable her outfits are for the videos especially for upgrade my stay 😂
I'm always impressed that they both dress so cute while they're doing potentially sweaty or messy projects, like painting or moving furniture in and out of the house. They don't seem to have problems haha! I would probably end up a mess!
I just kept thinking - Becky, take off that kimono when you are trying to move the box spring!!! LOL
It's not a SG's comment section if there isn't someone talking about Becky's fashion. I am sure her clothes are comfortable to work in or else she wouldn't wear them.
@@quadbox Oh I don't know. Look at all the women who wear ridiculously high heels. There is no way they are comfortable. Lots of people choose fashion over comfort. I was just worried about her stepping on the hem of her kimono while trying to maneuver the box spring on the stairs. That's just dangerous. ;) I was not judging her fashion style. :)
@@jemma50 she's not wearing ridiculous high heels though. As someone who wears similar things, her outfits do actually look comfortable. And with all of their experience painting and what not, it's easy to not make a mess of things. They're so used to doing stuff like that it doesn't even occur to them anymore.
This is my favourite episode of upgrading my stay so far. The whole story and the couple's reaction is such a wholesome
Hang on, wait a minute - did Becky say: ‘this is our last location’? Not to mention Kelsey saying: ‘this is the last episode’?? Really hope I misheard that! How am I ever going to get through the long, cold Danish winter nights without a weekly ‘Upgrade My Stay’ from the Sorry Girls??
My life is in ruins now...
Last episode of the season! I freaked when I heard it too. My favorite!
They said they are hopefully coming back for season 2
The next season will get us through the danish winter, I am with you fellow Dane!🇩🇰 Hehe, I love the Sorry Girls
They better be coming back with a second season!
The space reminds me so much of the vibes of that Becky was going for in her kitchen!
The moment I heard that Grandmother knew, I had tears spring from my eyes. How beautiful and perfect!
Thank you!!!
This one made me cry. The granddaughter was so excited! Bravo, ladies... and crew! 😊💖
Kate is so genuinely suprised☺️☺️
Becky your silk dress outfit was stunning, you look great!
omg Grandma knew and approved of the make-over???? TEARS!!!!!!
The production value of this episode was top tier. The intro, the video quality, the B roll, the scenes, cast dynamic - all so good. I love episodes like this!
The part where they carry the bed and got stuck through the door, it reminded me of the "couch carrying" scene from the episode of "Friends" where Ross yells "pivot!"🤣🤣🤣
Loved everything about this episode. The people seemed so sweet, the story, the scenery, the property, the improvement, everything! And that town? Now I wanna move there 🤩
We all need the sorry girls in our life
Literally her freaking out about them being there and watching their videos and projects would be me. I'm absolutely obsessed with you guys. You knock it out of the park EVERY time.
Also, I know all of the property owners are grateful, but it was SO nice to see their reaction so so soooo happy!
I cried when he told her that he had previously asked her grandma for permission. That made it so much more genuine and sweet, knowing that her grandmother approved. They were such a sweet couple, the perfect and deserving couple to get this make over!
this might be my favorite makeover, this place seems so magical.
I almost cried SO MANY TIMES… just knowing you guys cared so much about improving this space… it showed, and was sooooooo sweet. When you hugged her photo as you were thinking of where to place all the frames. Myyyyyy HEART. I love and miss my grandmother, so I felt her joy, and grief.
34:05 onwards I SWEAR I WAS EXPECTING THE GUY TO PROPOSE OR SOMETHING. Amazing space for an amazing couple!!
I was relieved when they said the wood they were painting wasn't that old lol! I can't stand when people paint over the original of really old houses!
Seriously, I wanna stay in all the places they've made over..they look so good..like I would genuinely enjoy staying there
I think this episode was so special!! 🥰
I cried with Kate's reaction to her grandma knowing and approving of the reno 😭😭😭
I love everything about this series and must say, you have been such a ray of light during this seemigly endless pandemic time!! ❤️
Oh my goodness! I now wanna travel to Canada and stay at this beautiful getaway!! It looks amazing and so quaint! Great job with the makeover, shows how such simple upgrades make a space look expensive!
Why am I crying at her opening the door and seeing TSG for the first time?!?! 😭😭😭 what a surprise!!!!!
Love this makeover. The new bed really makes the room and so does the gallery wall. Sweet couple too. Well done ladies!
the family had such a touching story! i loved hearing that this had been planned out for a while and that her grandmother gave her blessing for the makeover!! so special
This was the best episode with every detail. I loved the owners and she was sooo happy I’m really happy for them. 🤗🤗🤗
If I could define sanctuary, that would be that place. Also this screams dark academia vibe.
I’d be crying by the amount of surprises she gets! I’m so happy for her!
A beautiful house made into a tranquil, cozy, beautiful home away from home. It truly enhances the environment. Kelsey's breaker song is always in my head I found myself singing to Becky when she was on the ladder. Great work Sorry Girls
it warms my heart so much that they respect and acknowledge that their on indigenous lands. it's such an easy thing to do, but it's something often overlooked.
Kate is such a rare gem! She is so precious!
This was the best episode yet! Not just because the upgrade was amazing, but I feel like we got a story throughout - from the sweet surprise makeover that Grandma was in on, and hearing about the history of the property and the love the grand daughter had for her grandmother.. it was all just so heartwarming I forgot we were watching a makeover. Great job!
this entire series has made me want to come to Canada for holidays and explore all the beautiful sceneries 😍
Kelsey Holding and gently stroking the painting of grandma Anne was so prescious. 😍
PERFECT END TO THIS SEASON.... CRYING AT THE FACT GRAMMA KNEW AND THE PAINTING. UGH CANT WAIT FOR NEXT SEASON
Becky's hair is always so cute!
This was so sweet! I love how much she loved it!
my favorite thing about this series is how many different beautiful places it introduces me to in my province that ive never heard about 🥺
I felt I was watching a movie. My first thought was black, what? then The Reveal was so beautiful you girls did it again just gorgeous and that young lady was so much appreciative of it all. Great job girls.
The absolute coolest house/guest house! Love this series girls.❤❤❤
Couple goals! She’s such a fan and so grateful :) the whole land is amazing!
Great episode to end the season. All these episodes are great, but there was something particularly endearing about the fact he arranged it all for her, and with her grandmother's permission.
This 👏 Series 👏 Doesn't 👏 Get 👏 The 👏 Views 👏 It 👏 Deserves 👏 The quality of this channel is next level! 💪🇨🇦
This was my abs fav episode. The quality of the video - Omg, I really felt taken in - like I was in the video, in the place, sipping wine in glorious weather. I feel refreshed!
Also spectacular space transformation. I have been following this channel for a while, and I can tell this is just on another level!
Cannot wait to see what you ladies do next.
Mine too!
This was a fabulous makeover! Not huge changes, but just enough to update without destroying the cozy vibe. LOVE it!!! ♥♥♥
I am curious, though.....who pays for these makeovers? Does the client? Or the Sorry Girls?
These girls are awesome, not only are they good at designing, but they can pull off a MEGA fancy dress with a plane white T-Shirt under it. Lol
Why did i cry my eyes out when they saw the artwork of grandma anne 🥺😭 shes not even my gran but i love her
You girls inspired me to become an interior designer ☀️
Why was it while they were trying to get the box spring up the stairs all I could hear in my head was: "Pivot! Pivot! PIVOT!
Me too!! 🤣
Yes!
Kate looks absolutely over the moon! It's so happy that I actually cried
This is a series that 100% needs to come back😍
TSG for The Sorry Girls but also The Sniffing Girls
Too bad it's the last episode already😭😭😭
Y'all absolutely made her day. Seriously, well done with the space. Can't wait to see what else you have in store!
I never thought that a video about guesthouse makeover could make me cry!!! It's so touching 😭
What gorgeous stone buildings, and Grandma's garden so beautiful. A wonderful legacy your grandparents left behind for you and future generations to enjoy. And the makeover looked fabulous. It's amazing how some paint and simple changes here and there can create a whole new look. Well done.
If my husband had the Sorry Girls just pop up at our crib...he getting some tonight!
Those stone walls are so dreamy ♥️
Best episode of this season, the best looking room, the guy is a rare guy material and the girl is a real fan.
Is it weird that I “liked” this video before I watched it? I already knew that I’d love it.
