    AN ENORMOUS fan since stumbling across Tracy's vlog last year, but after seeing this amazing re-build, a whole new level of awe for this incredibly talented woman who has taken a forlorn little building and transformed it into a cottage that anyone would love to call their nest. Ingenuity beyond measure in taking materials and repurposing them to create Tracy's inimitable style. And finally, YES we could all learn to be a lil more like happy, sweet and loving BERTIE. Thank you Tracy, this was incredible!

Slept in the tiny room until we could finish it all…..❤my husband is an artist and he loves transforming trash into treasures….such a gift

    Thank you so much for all your amazing ideas, you have helped me so much with my home. I had a table from my Grandma’s house and I had never met her. When my Mum passed away 25 years ago the table lived in the garage. After watching a few programmes it is now back in the house all painted. It is so lovely and just wanted to say thank you xx

    Hi Tracey. So glad to have you back and Bertie in the cameos. What a handsome puppy as well as his adult self now. We all missed you but your get-away looked lovely. This video was very enlightening to watch and how 'the cottage' came to full fruition. Will be waiting for the new porch makeover on this cottage. See you two then. xo

    After recently discovering your channel and TALENT, I am really enjoying your videos. I moved to my Circa 1938 Appalachian. Blue Ridge mountain home and began filling it with my furnishings which were in storage for ten years and one month. The task of fixing "the broken" is never ending blood, sweat, tears and satisfaction. I named my 2500 sq. ft., home..."Moonbow Mountain Cottage"... and my outbuilding "The Poet's Cottage". Blessings, Darla, age 75

    I thoroughly enjoyed watching this transformation, learning the details of all the materials and the way you use some, repurpose others and how it all comes together. Most of us don't have your vision but we can learn from you! I love seeing Bertie as a wee puppy and the enthusiasm and enjoyment she gets from 'helping' all the time. My Golden Retriever was 6 months old when we redid some of the rooms in our house and she fell in love with the workers, one in particular who since then has actually moved next door - and she will run to him all the time when we're all out and about. I was enamoured with the big blue vase in the cottage that you set in the corner of the kitchen counter! Where did that come from and did you do anything to it? Thank you! And, again thank you for including us, teaching us, inspiring us and encouraging us in our decoration journeys.

    • @RuralRefurb
