This year, I’ve set my mind on finishing our patio. I want to DIY as much as I can and the first mammoth project is building a ✨grill station.✨ 14 hardware store trips and 67 hours of diy labour later, my biggest build is completed!
Thank you, as always, for joining me on this journey. I still have a couple more DIYs for the patio and you’ll see the final patio reveal in a few weeks 💓

[@chelspanda927]

im always in awe of everything you make - the projects, of course, but also your storytelling, editing, music. honestly im your biggest fan 🫶🏼

[@cloudyhills]

This means a lot to me ☺️

[@Ciralopez]

Me too! 🙋

[@alexmcginness8859]

Me three! 🫶🏼

[@aileenc3034]

Hillary, you are a seriously talented diy-er, videographer and storyteller. Your videos are inspirational and a complete joy to watch. You are, without doubt, my favourite CZcamsr. Thanks for sharing your creativity with us. ❤❤

[@brookew128]

Wow, I love it so much. It must feel wonderful to just say “oh, I built that!” 😊

[@cloudyhills]

When friends come over and ask "where did you buy that?" I'm like 😏😏😏🤣

[@carolargentina]

Hahaha, I´ve imagined the boyfriend saying to his family " She built this. All by herself ! "

[@kate_she1]

I always notice and comment on the most random things, but kudos to Pat for getting more comfortable with being on camera! 😄You guys are wonderful together

[@cloudyhills]

Haha we are both honestly the most camera shy people! But him appearing on it gives me more courage too 💕

[@bethanybarber4537]

@@cloudyhills Your interactions with each other are so sweet and make me grin like an idiot 😭💖

[@ElizabethBarone]

Standing ovation for conquering your anxiety and doing a fantastic job! 👏🏼

[@lsnum1]

im so happy you included your mistake of using the wrong pieces and having to redo it. i have done this so many times and always get super bummed and its really encouraging to see the people who inspire me to build also go through it too!

[@cloudyhills]

Actually I do it a loooot but it's usually when I'm not filming 🙈 The silver lining this time was getting to share that down-then-back-up experience with you guys!

[@virginiacorcoran1326]

It’s always amazing to see how professional all your projects turn out! This project was amazing! I still think you should have a television series!

[@Mstrickster2]

Had the biggest grin on my face when he came over to check on you and you two shared a kiss, hehe!
Seriously in awe with the grill station, I always love watching your videos. Your advice to overcome the intimidation of failure and start the project made me pick back up my embroidery :)

[@cloudyhills]

Oh, embroidery is definitely something I'd like to try one day!! 💕

[@ivequiry]

Come on Hillary! you are very talented, all your videos are a gem, good storytelling, beautiful editing and the furniture wow!👌👏We are team Pat for being there supporting you❤ From the other side of the world, Panamá 🇵🇦, I thank you for creating inspiring content✨️

[@lorimecikalski3079]

I was watching Pat's interaction and thinking; he takes a supportive role, he does not try to take over or offer unsolicited advice. You did a phenominal job on this project Hillary. Well done!

[@jenniferclyde8911]

I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who manically laughs at a good sandwich 😂 awesome project, hope you’re enjoying it!

[@cloudyhills]

that sandwich was TO DIE FOR 🤣

[@leogirl9290]

Another AMAZING project! I have loved watching you make this house your own!

[@cloudyhills]

I have loved sharing it with you!!!!

[@theailona]

Those are some beautiful tiles and knobs! I always have a soft spot for tiles that are slightly different coloured. And that wood stain colour is also perfection!

[@AnnemarieHulsman]

Your station is looking good! such a beautiful design. I enjoyed watching it, seeing you, Pat and the collie, as well as your project developing. Pat is wise, beautiful how he supports you.

[@blackmill]

I'm in awe, I wish I could make furniture from scratch like you!! So inspiring

[@paulinepoint5847]

I am so amazed by your talent, your hard work and your beautiful aesthetic... Thank you for showing your learnings including some "mistakes" which just result in learning and being even prouder! I feel very encouraged to try some sort of DIY on my own now :)

[@tammydee9700]

Every one of your DIY projects are absolutely amazing. So talented! 😊

[@lrogers707]

and I love the organizing skills that are included on each project...thank you

[@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley]

This looks amazing! And Pat's supportiveness is precious and endearing 😊. I'm usually not that big of a romantic, but the spntaenous kiss as you were working may have melted my heart. Excuse me while I go and scoop it up 😂

[@cloudyhills]

He's the most supportive human ❤️

[@sophiajahn9664]

I am in awe and wonder of everything that you complete. The hardest part is starting something and overcoming the anxiety, that it might not turn out perfect. You seem to have found a wonderful partner with Pat, who said such true words. You can be so proud of yourself! Not only did you build a beautiful piece of furniture, you are also capable of capturing it and making an aesthetically appealing video about it... Good job. 🤩

[@sophiajahn9664]

Haha didn't see the comment below me, starting with almost the same words. 😛

[@cloudyhills]

thank you so much 🫶🏻 I've had so many years of not starting something because of the anxiety, I'm really happy with where I am mentally now ☺️ (Lots of help from Pat's encouragement ofc)

[@marie-jo4707]

😅😂en fait vous avez pris un abonnement à la quincaillerie !
J'ADORE 💕 ce meuble! Comme tout le reste ça semble si évident pour toi d'assembler des éléments ( et nous avons tous le droit à l'erreur!❤) qui se conjuguent à merveille entre eux! Comme l couleur blanche la lasure et le carrelage..... top! Et d'un! Reste la suite..... j'ai hâte de voir la suite de l'aménagement extérieur 😉🥰😘

[@cloudyhills]

They should have a bed for me since it's basically my second home 🤣

[@itsAna4]

Amazing job!! Congratulations, Hill! I will forever be in awe of everything you do 🤍🤍🤍

[@yobespierre]

that came out great! and tiling is always a work out, no matter if it's floors, walls, or tabletops. XD

[@user-kv6fw9lg2e]

Какая Вы талантливая,я в полном восторге от Ваших проектов ❤

[@marthagalvis7251]

i love how you talk to Pat as a little girl! you are so talented!

[@amandapierce9848]

This is your best yet! Lovely grill station! Can’t wait to see the final reveal🦋

[@miki-log]

Wow the tile turned out beautifully!!

[@cloudyhills]

It was really a trust the process kinda thing!

[@alexandrapadilla7168]

It looks so good!! I would have no knobs on the doors and just push-to-open features so that it can have that rustic-but-sleek look to the doors. Definitely showing this video to my bf bc he really wants to build his own grill area😁😁

[@cloudyhills]

That sounds like a great idea! I couldn't find any push to open thingies that won't rust 😭

[@birgitluttke4740]

Das hast du richtig supertoll gemacht. Es sieht ganz großartig aus.

[@IsaRendal-w6d]

Realmente se me alegra el día cuando aparece un nuevo vídeo tuyo. Admiro tu valor y constancia. Tengo padre carpintero y marido "McGiver" que hacen de todo, podría estar acostumbrada a ver trabajos bien hechos. Pero el buen gusto, el diseño y la organización con la que haces todo, me encantan. Además, viendo las dificultades que has compartido en estos años, los miedos y todo lo que supone estar lejos de casa, costumbres, idioma, comida... siempre me ha parecido más meritorio que, a pesar de las inseguridades, tú tires para adelante. En estos tiempos tan acelerados agradezco tener la fantástica posibilidad de ver crecer lentamente a alguien como tú. Esperando la segunda parte y disfrutando el día gracias a ti. Enhorabuena por tu trabajo y por el viaje que vas haciendo.

[@amandal9]

Amazing work, you should feel so proud of such a great project ! 👏🏼 😄 Excited to see the final results.

[@Yoygg12]

This is gorgeous, good job!! (for Pat also^^) and love your editing style!
I've never made any DIY project in my life but this inspire me to make my own furniture of my dreams sometimes, thankyou so much! Looking forward for your next upload ^^

[@LittleSimGoesWild]

That looks AMAZING!! Well done👏You never cease to amaze me with your eye for design, skill and hard work. Very inspiring. Love your work🙌

[@nikolekim7155]

here for the vibe and music ❤️❤️❤️

[@ShutUpStacy]

Everytime i watch your video, I think to myself, wow, you are so craft and organised!!! Your videos always inspire me.

[@vicksanches]

Such a beautiful work! I hope for great patio + grill moments 🎉

[@thatstheeverydaylife]

Absolutely wonderful! You are so talented, it’s a bliss to watch ❤

[@cortellazzi1606]

Ficou incrível, parabéns!!! Seus vídeos me trazem muita inspiração tanto que consegui montar sozinha meu primeiro móvel. A única dificuldade que tive foi com uma dobradiça um pouco complicadinha, mas meu marido me mostrou e eu consegui fazer. Fiquei muito orgulhosa do meu trabalho! Obrigada por mais esse vídeo 🌺

[@cloudyhills]

I'm so proud of you!!

[@nv5653]

Wonderful job 🎉 is there anything that cloudyhills can’t make it aesthetic 😊

[@laraangel6862]

È un lavoro strepitoso, sono stupita dalla tua manualità e dalla tua tenacia e perseveranza.
Come dicevo proprio ieri sera a cena al mio nipotino:
"solo chi non fa nulla non sbaglia mai tesoro e dagli errori si impara sempre a fare meglio la prossima volta".
È importante provare e sbagliare ed essere poi orgogliosi del risultato finale ❤ e tu puoi esserlo

[@cloudyhills]

such important, wise words ✨

[@janecita21villaseca65]

Congratulations !! You are very, very skillful (both), it turner out wonderful 😊

This is so beautiful Hill! I am so proud of you for completing it even with the ups and downs. Thank you for sharing your creativity ❤

[@mmuster5475]

Ich finde deine Videos sehr entspannend und das coole ist das ihr einfach aus Deutschland seit. Da kann man vieles nachkaufen oder besser mitarbeiten. Aufjedenfall mach weiter so :)

[@pineshillshouse]

Grandioso trabajo, saludos desde Barcelona, para ambos!

[@Vnaan]

As always, so in awe of you! What a fantastic build

[@amstarkey5023]

Thank you for sharing your talent and DIY journey. One of the things I so appreciate it the time lapse you let us see because projects take time. You have grown so much and should rejoice.😊 Also, would you consider showing how to do a scale grid..I've tried several times🤔

[@cloudyhills]

I'll try to share it next time!

[@din333fan]

Всегда с нетерпением жду твоих видео. Ты так вдохновляешь! ❤ Эта конструкция выглядит шикарно, особенно плитка, я уже очень давно хочу попробовать сделать что-то подобное))) и, конечно же, Джуно, какая прелесть, я влюблена! 😍 Вдохновения, сил и времени на все свои задумки, и конечно же денег! 😀🦾

The tile adhesive needs to be thicker on the boards and it's always best to put tile adhesive onto the back of the tiles as well. But you did good, anyways.

[@cloudyhills]

Thank you for the tip! I realised I put too little adhesive because I had to use soooo much grout. Next time 🤗
