Don’t feel bad or ever apologise for your frustrations and real life. I appreciate watching someone deal with difficulties with grace and then to continue to peruse their goals. That’s commendable and real life. And it mirrors my own life and personal struggles. As much as TH-cam can be a bit of escapes it’s refreshing and encouraging to see someone real. And it keeps us all hopeful and going too. House project too are a rollercoaster. My hubby is in construction and we are currently renovating a barn and making it our home. It’s up and down and surprises and changes and you name it. And then the cost! So don’t even worry, love. Big hugs! 🖤 the garden is looking beautiful!
Thaank you, lovely to hear I'm not alone struggeling a bit with it from time to time 🐹
So much more light now! My birthday was the 14th. We have similar taste. I got $ for mine & it will pay for a trip to the nearby mts. I really love flowers too.
Agree w this, but I am single and help another do projects.
Elise! Dont be so hard on yourself, you did an inSANE amount of work on your home with all the planting, plastering, you gotta eat, sleep and work, WOW! You deserve that gift!, it was super nice of your subscriber to send you that❤❤❤ Everything looks beautiful, have another popcicle🥰
I’ve followed your channel for years because you are you, not for what you are doing. Your personality is the draw for me, because you are such an authentic and genuinely sweet person. I don’t tune in to keep a”tally” of your “accomplishments” or pass judgment. I tune in to see a real person, dealing with real life….a friend. I don’t know how you manage to do everything that you do. You are a phenomenal force of nature in your determination! Don’t listen to the “voice in your head”, because for most of us women, our head is not a nice place to be. “Talk” to yourself the way you would talk to someone else. We are often so much kinder and encouraging to everyone but ourselves. You truly are going above and beyond your best! You are so much more than enough! 😁🤗🥰
You are quite the inspiration to young and old Elise! That is a rare gift and I hope you know it!
I totally agree, Elise is half my age, yet she teaches me so much, she truly is inspirational.
Thank you ☺️☀️🌿
Yes she is so beautiful and Amazing
I am almost 75 years old. I am so proud of you. I feel like your grandmother. You always try your best and your best is very good. Keep on trying; your home has become so very beautiful with all your "tries". You are beautiful too and you are great in your vintage clothes.
I am 77 I can relate to this too.I Absolutely Love Elise Everything about her. Sending you much Love x❤️
You know, difficulties aside, I think there's something to be said for taking a home and putting love and energy into improving it like you are. Kindof like good karma in a way to be bringing positivity into the world that way. Also, I must say, I have never in my life seen such a beautiful nursery with SUCH healthy looking flowers. Just wow. I wish I had something that cool near me. Thank you for the video lovely and keep on your progress!!!
beautiful white petunias! great choice, but, some advice - the lilac needs to be in the ground in full to part sun. It will get root bound in the pot, very quickly, that might kill it, especially if you leave it over winter. Instead, put the clematis in that spot with a trellis. It will do very well there. Spinach needs a lot of water Basil needs to dry out between watering.
Elise your garden is looking fabulous.
Everyone has their frustrations and we just keep plugging along until we work it all out and get the you know what completed. I’m single and 76, and I know what you’re dealing with. Do what you can, and then as funds are available and you need some help, then go for it.
You do not need to apologize for anything my dear, you are doing great!
The skylights are super cool and you will be so happy when it’s all completed.
Not only do you tackle home projects, you run your own business too. Please know you are appreciated and loved by many of us around this world. Such an inspiration with laughter, style, and so many talents that you take for granted but we see you my friend.
Carry on Elise! Let that light of yours shine bright. ❤❤❤❤❤
We don’t need a neat bow on projects. I think you should be extremely proud of how much you’ve done to make your home beautiful. The skylights are beautiful & are going to look amazing 🤩. Don’t be deterred. You have got this! 💪
Don’t lose hope Elise. You are real and that’s why we watch you and love you. A scaffold will help you greatly. 💪🏻💪🏻
Hello Elise. I am 60 years old, and when I see everything you are able to accomplish, I'm amazed. It's cliché but true...all good things take time. It's OK to be frustrated. It's part of the process. It took me 60 years to accept this😅❤
Hi, Elise! I am watching you today on my 76th birthday! So nice to watch your videos. I love them! You do you, Elise! It’s beautiful! Love the skylight. Your garden is divine! Hugs from Michigan!👍💜🌷🥰🎂
.. Happy Blessed Birthday.
Sending you wishes of health, happiness and love. 🎉❤🎉
Happy 76th birthday!🎉
Happy Birthday my 73rd is is less than a month! ❤️
You are a rock star! That’s a lot of hard work.
happy birthday!
Your little house and garden is so sweet. What a blessing to be able to look outside and see all that wonderful nature blooming. It refreshes one's spirit I'm sure. I'm sure everyone understands that you're not a professional as far as the room reno is concerned. Just go at your own pace and don't feel pressured. Also please be careful climbing up and down and take your time. How lovely to receive such a lovely birthday surprise, enjoy.
I love white flowers in a garden as they reflect moonlight at night❤
The whole point about having your own place is making your mark on it. If it takes a few weeks or 2 seasons especially if your doing it by yourself then you will always remember the journey you took to get to the final goal. Never apologise for figuring out what to do next and how to make it happen x
The skylights are fabulous. Almost done with the mudding, taping and bedding. Not much more now. Sanding will be messy but I know you can do it. Garden is exploding with blooms. Just beautiful. Love the skirt collection. Pretty sweet birthday gift. Have a great week.
Thank you for all your hard work and time to make your videos.. I'm sure I'm not alone in saying it's so nice you share your life and experiences with us...hope you manage to get all your putty work done on wonderful new sky light project its going to look amazing once you added all your special touches 😊.and plant therapy always help with taking your mind off things...have a great weekend..😊
Thaank you ☀️🌿
Hang in there Elise, you are a patient warrior. Everything will be beautifully completed. 🙏🏽💯
You are doing so well with this challenging project. Take your time and I know it will be amazing when you are done.
Thank you ☺️
That’s what I love about your channel is that you are real with us. You tackled more than I could dream of doing. You always inspire me. And garden breaks are a must. That and thrifting are therapeutic in my opinion. 🥰 I love the gift you were sent. It looked like you got a wall pocket. The piece you thought was a lampshade. I think you hang it up and could put flowers in it. 🌺
Try calling paint stores to see if any private contractors have left their business cards with them that is how I found a painter last fall to do the outside trim on my fixer upper house good luck 🤞
What I have been waiting for with excitement has happened.....your garden was reborn. It is one of the most beautiful gardens I have seen. The skylight is looking fantastic, and does bring in much light and design improvement, breaking up the long room.
Real life renovations take time and are never without hiccups. Thank you for being authentic. ❤
Please let us know where to find you.missing you and hope you will come back!!!!!
You are absolutely amazing. But we know its you & only you doing this for us. We are cheering you on & are amazed how much you get accomplished in 1 week. It will be absolutely gorgeous at the end of the project. And guess what ???? We will watch & wait. Have a truly blessed week. 💖🌟
As someone who worked on finishing a ceiling ages ago, I know how ambitious a project it is. Way different than doing walls as you know because you are working over your head on the horizontal- which as you know is so tiring. You did a lot without sacrificing your garden and other work. When it isn’t a team of professionals there is a lot of figuring out involved - like scaffolding over ladder, you also do have time to figure out what you want to add - like electricity to open windows with your phone. Luckily the daylight is long. You are definitely not alone on experiencing the bumps of home renovations. Good timing on this project as you may have lost a room for the time being but you have gained the sunny days garden space.
Lilacs cannot go into pots only in the ground because the roots need a lot of room.🐝
A guy at the nursery didn't say another like that. By time I might have to move it, but it doesn't grow massive in a week ☺️ Unfortunately not hehe
Hi Elise, I was thinking how well you have done so far since you have been in that house and your business. You should be very proud of yourself and all you have accomplished. Well done girl.❤
Thank you so much ☺️
You have come so far with everything Elise, your job at your shop, your You Tube channel, your lovely garden and your home, and you have done this all on your own. I think that you are amazing. xxx
We all have disappointments and challenges. I’m glad you don’t mask or hide yours. So many TH-camrs make it look like their lives are perfect. Fake fronts and false faces. You will get your house the way you want. The challenges make us appreciate the good things that much more. Success.
Your garden sure is a sanctuary!
Elise, it's YOUR home, YOUR time, YOUR life. Keep living it your way. If it takes you a year to do that skylight (safely) and you are happy with that, then so be it. If you feel you need to get help, then that's also ok, you do a whole lot more than some of us behind our phone screens. Girl its taken me 3 years to reno my kitchen to my standards and liking. It may not be 100 percent perfect but I am happy and have saved soooo much money😀
Your garden is so absolutely gorgeous!🎉 what a gift!
🌱☔️❤️☀️
Can hardly believe all you do! Do you even realize how inspiring you are? Beautiful , talented lady! ❤
The flower shop is so beautiful! There is so much beauty there that it's overwhelming! It's an overwhelming enough experience to watch so much beauty! Very beautiful and commending garden and house work! All the best and plenty of success in everything you do! Have an excellent day! 🙂
Elise the garden looks so beautiful! I'm glad you will be hiring out for help with the skylight project. It's a lot of work for one person. I was afraid you might fall off that ladder! I know it will be amazing once it's all done. You have so much to do already. It's also great to see you trying to do things that are more cost effective. You are such an inspiration. 💕
Taping and mudding is a specialized trade. Most people can not do it well and have no idea how much work and expertise it takes. You almost always leave it to a professional. Most people find out the hard way.
My husband tried putting up new wallboard, tape, sanding and painting .... all the seams were visible when he was done. So that's a huge challenge to take on. No one will think less of you if you have to rethink your plans as your time is valuable also!
Just a thought Elise, the Clematis you have growing near your house could get up under your eaves and do some damage, they can get rather thick branches. Your garden is just wonderful and full of colour.
Here in the states we usually hire a professional for Sheetrock finishing because it is hard to get a good finish. Especially that high up.
Your garden is just so beautiful. It makes me forget all my problems and for a few moments I’m lost in all that beauty. Thank you for sharing.
Your garden area is an absolute dream❤🥰❤ what a lovely retreat from the house renovations. Take the time you need for the finishing of the walls. So important to get the mud work smooth before the painting, a practice in patience, perseverance and in the end beautiful results. And if you get someone to finish the job - you will appreciate their work all the more.
Your garden is so beautiful Elise. You are so blessed. It's magical.
You are a absolutely stunning young woman. I love all your videos, they make me feel calm and happy. Thank you.
Hi!!!! I enjoy so much seeing your progress, but Elise, I think your contractors can come back and finish the ceiling in just a few hours, you re so very busy, my gosh, amazing determination.Cheers
Hi Elise, your remodel project is amazing. Taping and plastering is such hard work and a skill . My husband is a master carpenter and even he hires the taping project out. I am joining to become a sunshine member today to help you save to complete your project. I was a patron on yours in the past. I’m in awe of all you do, such an inspiration to all of us.
Joint tapes on plasterboards are really difficult to do. My husband, who is a true handy man didn't do it himself when we have renovated our old farmhouse. We hired a specialised company which did it better and faster than anything we could have ever done. So don't feel guilty, it's just a boring job.
My husband is a drywall finisher. It's messy, hard work! I commend Elise for even attempting it. I wish she could let professionals do that part and then she could do the painting herself. Elise is such a hard worker! 😊
You take on crazy jobs the rest of us wouldn't even attempt. Brava! The sky lights are making a huge difference in your livingroom feel. Don't worry you'll get this.
What a beautiful Garden you've created truly magical and i'm loving your new plant's and flower's.Well Done by the way getting up and down that scary ladder.Fantastic job Elise but remember to take time out and breath .Your so cute and lovely in your vintage clothes and surrounding's. 🤗💖🌻🌼🪴🩰👡👟
Elise you are doing a great job. Taping & mudding is hard work especially working in high places. It's a job I don't love. Your garden is so beautiful! What a sanctuary to relax in. 💗🥀
I am yet to meet someone more productive at your age. Take you time, and don't feel guilty. Life is to be enjoyed while you are getting shit done!
Elise that is a PLANTER. to hang on a wall with a plant inside it. amazed at what you are accomplishing in your home. keep up the great work as well as your business, garden, and all the rest! xo
You and I have very similar garden tastes - green and white and plenty of it LOL You were so lit up with those floral baskets! I admire both your guts to think you could do the putty and your grace in giving it over to someone else, but I also love that it's just you doing what you can on your own. You might not hahaha but it just feels more relatable. Other channels with their on-hand team and sponsorships don't make these projects feel accessible to me. You're inspiring me for when i renovate my father's house next year. 💝✨
Please don't apologize for being honest. You have gotten much farther than I could have done. I was so impressed by all that you managed to do on your own!
It will all come together even though you are feeling frustrated. Just leave it for a day or two and then you sit back and decide how you want to move forward. I am a single mom of twins so am forced to do so much on my own. You are super talented and determined. You will get it right ❤
The light is amazing from your new ceiling windows! Your hard work shows!
Wow Elise, you are just amazing. I am astounded by your work ethics, level of energy, amount of creativity and your gentle nature. It's like watching a fairy going about her every day life in a magical orb. You've managed what you've set out to do, create a unique channel worth watching.
Every video of yours has good content! Whatever you are doing in life, that is what we like to see. We all love you!
Hay honey, I’m a decorator & it can take about 4/5 days (8hrs a day) on a room & plus your working as well, just take your time & enjoy the process you’ll get there, just not as fast as you want it too 🥰❤️❤️❤️
Hello Elise, great video, your hard work will pay off your reward the satisfaction of getting on with the job all your ideas coming together, lovely parcel of gifts too, it's great to see your garden coming together also . I quite often spend hours in my gardens and without a break always a surprise to realise 4/5 hours passing so quickly , no hardship all to the good and very beneficial.
Looking forward to seeing the outcome of your hard work and patience. Hugs and Blessings to you Elise. 💚🌹
Scaffolding will make your life soooooooooooo much easier and safer. Real life happens, luvie. It's all good. You're doing marvelously.
The glass vase with the stopper is called a vinegar cruet. I have a collection from my grandmother. They come in all shapes and sizes. Some are etched and some have a lavender hue. I love them.
Your skylights are wonderful already... they have transformed your room
Home projects are usually not "fast" your doing fine. Idea that may help is to get a good solid board to lay across those wood "beams", that way u can put your buckets/tools on it so your not balancing everything on edges or your pockets. It takes time. Thanks for your video. Have a lovely week. :D
Élise, what you do, what you wear, everything is so beautiful..you speak of challenges but you all make it so easy to do..I love your stunning garden and housse. I wish I could be half as gifted as you are. Thank you for making me dream everything is possible
the skylights are great ! I can't wait to see the room come together.. Don't worry about how long it takes.. it gives you time to read the room and play out some ideas.. might just put a story board together.. or bring some colors in the room....or textiles..or plants... beautiful objects .. or even some of your artwork :). or framed. pieces.lay it around while you work...see them at different time of the day .. Just play!!
You’re doing a great job! Loving the skylight’s so much. You’re the Danish Wonder Woman! Enterprising and talented all in one. Your sense of style is so refreshing. It will come together ❤️thank you so much for sharing!
Don’t feel bad if you end up having to get someone in to finish off the project! You are right, you are just one person and you are doing an amazing job with your home and business. No one expects you to do it all, except maybe yourself
It's a perfect place to put a hammock and some green plants hanging from the beams
Your garden is beautiful, Elise. I love white flowers also 💟
Do you know that you can wet sand? You use a wet to damp sponge, dunking and rinsing it out in water- I would use a small easy to hold bucket. Use the sponge like you would sandpaper. I learned this while working for a contractor years ago rehabbing a Victorian house in the Catskills. It works like a charm and cuts down on the dust. Bit easier on your arms and much easier on your lungs.
REALLY?! I'll try to google this for sure. Thanks ☺️☀️
Smart girl leaving it to the professionals. It can wait till summer is over if need be and you can save up for the drywallers. Who wants to be inside in the summer anyway.
Your pink outfit looks lovely on you - and all your hard work will pay off in huge dividends - we are cheering you on ♥️🪴
You certainly seem in your Happy 😍Place in the garden!!
The new skylights are amazing!!
Your little white cardigan and scalloped gardening hat are ADORABLE! And the white hanging baskets are beautiful! Giving all the spring vibes 🤍
I thought what a brave choice to do all the taping yourself! The higher spots especially. Please get the carpenters to do it and be done with it so you can enjoy your new space. 💓
But they don't have time 🤭 So not an option
Hi Elise!! Just seeing all of those plants just made me want to rush out & get a bunch of my own!! Your garden is truly spectacular!! Please don't apologize for your challenges that you encounter!! You are only human as we all are!! Granted you are a rock star girl boss 💪😊 & so gifted in whatever you do!! You always make me smile & inspire me!! Take care sweet girl 🌷🌻💐
Hello Elsie..your garden is so beautiful.
So is your home..You are quite the worker..you never seem to have a negative thought,you just do it. You have so many clothes,how do you keep track? You are worth it.Take care young lady& breath in the flowers/ with ice coffee.🤗❤🐞🌺🦋🌸🐠🐚💮🦀🦜🌴
Love seeing the gifts you get, you deserve every single one!!! If I could afford to send you some I would as well ❤🙂
Sunflowers do a lot better when you direct sow them! They get bigger and are a lot more stable. Try putting a few in the ground outside when it’s hot enough. ❤️
I have done both 🤭☀️
Yay! Excited to see all of them grow!
Your garden is a dream! I love when the wind blows through your trees and bushes, rustling the leaves and the beautiful flowers. It’s like taking a deep cleansing breath. Thank you for sharing your life with us! 🌿🤗🌷🌹🌻
You’ll get there & it will be beautiful! Yes there are challenges but so many don’t have those opportunities. I have to vaccuum using a wheelie walker & still going to renovate. Hoping I can now bend down far enough to paint around the door to save money when they fit the new wooden door as someone smashed the old one. One challenge at a time so you don’t get overwhelmed. Love how you break it up with flowers & garden. Getting outside in the sunshine is good for the soul.
So in love with Spring🌷🌻 Thank you for another lovely video Elise🩷
Thaank you 🥰 And me too
Renting scaffold for skylight access makes a lot of sense. You'll be confident enough to paint that way. Seems a waste to pay someone to paint (the easy stage) when you've done all the hard work of preparation.
If electrifying the skylights isn't possible, or affordable right now, the old way was to use a long pole with a hook. It would stand out of the way in your utility room.
The metal pot you called a lampshade is meant to go on the wall for plants or utensils. ;)
Your garden is a slice of heaven! I’m so glad it’s yours-you take good care of it and appreciate it. Thanks for sharing it with us! 😊❤
The light in your dining area is so beautiful now. When it comes together it's going to be such a lovely warm bright space to spend time in. ❤
Gosh, Elise,mudding and taping is the very hardest part of any drywall job. You are brave to even take it on. Most diy’ers would hang the drywall pieces, then hire the next step out and finish up with the painting.
Is that gift a lampshade? It looks like a container to hang on a wall and put plants or flowers in. Maybe on that beautiful wall you create d outside?
White flowers remind me of snow for being white, and I am trying to forget all the snow that we had during the winter. I rather buy spring colors. But I understand she likes white flowers, my respects.
You'll get there in the end Elise. Baby steps! It's going to look wonderful when it's all finished. Think of that along the way. That was a lovely video. A bit of everything - pretty clothes, renovations and your wonderful garden. Lots of love to you.
It's unsafe on that ladder, that's the kind of work for the professionals. I'm in America, and we have so many options "for hire" construction help like; Task Rabbit, local Handymen, Home Depot employees, etc..., Be careful😊
You can cut some of the leaves on your spinach plant, and it will regrow new leaves. I have one too, and I can't wait to try it. It's called cut and come again. Enjoy!
You're such a ray of sunshine it's incredible you can share your light with the world over the internet. I've gone through many DIY home improvements & things always come up bringing delays & frustrations. But when it's all over it makes me that much prouder of the result knowing I did all the work I could. Hope you have a lovely summer ahead 💕
Your garden looks beautiful and I enjoyed the trip to the garden centre, I could easily have moved in. Believe it or not, I get some inspiration from you for my own garden but I have to stop being afraid of it which sounds crazy.
Elise, you are a real person and that is what we like about you. Real people get frustrated sometimes and that is ok. I am nowhere near as brave as you climbing tall ladders etc. Things take time especially when you are on your own and juggling time and jobs. Please remember to have some alone time and go sandal shopping and doing things that give you joy.
Love the white hanging plant! And I LOVE lilacs! They’re my favorite :) and always herbs!😍
Hi Elise, Here in the USA, Home Depot or any other home improvement store has scaffolding to rent. If they have equipment in Denmark to rent, you can do so, and it will be so much easier. You can also purchase it if you know you or your family will use it. You will have to have a place to store afterward. That way, you can do everything yourself and not pay anyone to do it for you unless you want to.
Hmmm, I am drooling watching all your videos 😅 From doing things around the house to working in the garden, it’s all right on my alley and cannot wait to get my own place in Europe 😍 And I am planning to visit you so hope you will accept my invitation to meet when time comes 😊 Have a beautiful week Elise!
thank you so mich for having us! These diaries are so touching. I love them!!!!
If you’ve not already found a solution, see if you can hire a painting platform for under the skylight. It’s much more safe and stable than a ladder, I’ve used them whilst working on stairs.
Can’t wait to see the room finished, but also understand it’s all a process. We all go through the same thing. ❣️
I just love the calming affect you have in your videos. Have a fantastic weekend Elise ❤
Thank you ☺️ you too 🌱✨️☀️
Don't get frustrarte, sometimes we think we can do it all, but we need to realice there people traing and able to do this types of Jobs.
The garden us looking beutiful.
Bless day from Miami FL Usa .❤❤❤
