- It's been 18 months since we started renovating the old nursery office-turned-cottage, which we call, "The Meadow House." It took us 6 months longer than we had predicted-and there are still a few more items to address-but for the most part it's finished enough to do a complete tour.
We're thrilled with the results, and trust you can see all the time, love, thought, and hard work that went into the renovation and design process.
Stay tuned because we'll do more in-depth tours and renovation videos of the Meadow House.

Wow! So lovely. I cannot applaud Sander enough. His skill set is so broad and his attention to detail is unbelievable. Plus his videos are beautiful. Such a talented soul.
He absolutely hands down is talented and cares so much. We are all lucky to have his thoughtfulness and skill.
Loved how Summer came into the finished Meadow House took off her shoes and hung her coat like Mr. Rogers coming home. Kudos to you all for creating such a calming, beautiful and welcoming cottage.
🌾I think I saw her walking bare footed towards the cottage carrying her shoes with her left hand.🌾
Saunder is a true craftsman and artisan. The meadow cottage is simply beautiful!! 💚
What a beautiful cozy space. This space is really reflective of the whole vibe you are going for with your property. Simply beautiful.
Thanks so much for the kind words. We definitely feel the coziness and love throughout the space.
I love how the meadow house turned out, so cozy and inviting. I love the little Kippee touches everywhere too!
I'm sure Kippee would have appreciated. She's there in spirit :)
@@FlockFingerLakes🌾 AGREE!!!🌾
Can we all applaud Saunder for his wealth of talent!? Summer is friggin amazing too. Blessings Flock! If only I could mimic something like what you folks have done in the PNW.
Impressive results, and the attention to detail is amazing. The cottage has so much soul and charm 🧡💚🧡
We really appreciate that. Thank you.
Sander's attention to detail is so old time journey man. He is a master carpenter. Such a skill. A pleasure to see .
I’ve been following the Flock journey from the start, and knowing Saunders penchant for perfection in the details, and Summer’s incredible style and connectedness with nature I was anticipating a fabulous product. Yet here I am completely amazed at how incredibly thoughtful and gorgeous the meadow house has turned out. It is stunningly spectacular in its use of materials and space. Bravo!
Although you said two years was longer than anticipated for the renovation, I am astounded at all the work you were able to complete in those years, from walls, windows, entire kitchen, bathroom, and the exterior walls and porch, wow! To design, plan, procure components and accomplish mostly by yourselves in that time is amazing! So talented!! I bet you were so happy to put in the last touches. Beautiful! Enjoy!
My heart literally skipped at the intro with Summer on the patio and the colors of her frock agains the green background. Visually so very exquisite.
You guys did such a beautiful job. Love all the old items with a story. Gorgeous
Thank you so much. We appreciate it.
In life there is something or someone that leaves that everlasting impression in our lives. Kippee was beautiful. She gave you the love that you needed. Those moments when you felt alone but when you saw her for filled your heart. I would call the cottage “Kippee’s Cottage”.
Again another great video I've been waiting for, for ages! I loved the opening scene where you were walking in bare feet in the frost. It reminded me of my home in New Zealand ❤ So hot in Perth I miss that crisp morning dew
The dew and mist in the early mornings are too my favorite.
I am in love with the cottage! The colors are so relaxing beautiful! The sofa is gorgeous, love the style color and texture. The windows are great! (Can never have enough windows) 😂Sage green is one of my favorite colors. I like all the rooms, my favorite is the kitchen! Everything looks amazing and to be surrounded by a meadow what more could anyone want? Turned out amazing! ❤ very cozy! 🪴 And your dress is beautiful!
You and me both. The kitchen is hands down my favorite. The way it feels to work in it is so soothing. Thank you, thank you.
Just spent the best hour of my day so far with the two of you in this lovely home. You can feel the vibe throughout this whole video. It is truly a beautiful loved filled space. Absolutely amazing.
Ahhh thank you kindly. Such a nice thing to say. Glad you can feel the love throughout the home.
Summer, I certainly cannot overlook your eye for detail in the overall design, and interior decor. This is a cosy, warm space. Great job! ❤
Absolutely gorgeous. You’ve inspired me to bring home a new plant today. Love the plants between the kitchen and living space passage ❤🎉
They definitely warm up the space. My hope is that they begin to take over the walls :)
Good morning, Summer. Thank you for starting my day with this wonderful video of your Meadow House. I have a cup of tea in hand and ready for the tour. Saunder and Summer your very hard work has really paid off, both of your personalities have shown in every nook and crannie. Saunder you are a very talented tradesman and artist. Thank you for sharing your inner passions and talents. Summer, every time I see you I smile. You bring joy to my heart. Earthy, honest and beautiful to boot. Namaste
Glad to join your tea ritual in the morning and thanks for those kind words :)
💚
Yay! Got to see a house tour! It turned out beautiful with smart choices of moving the door of the bathroom and giving the kitchen an extra wall for space. It's looks larger than the 600 sq. ft. size, with a good sized kitchen and bathroom. I love the little wood burning stove, too. Sander does excellent work and am impressed that this was his first kitchen. It's very cozy and anyone would be happy to stay there. The color selections for the interior and exterior... and decor, are perfect for the backdrop of the meadow and natural beauty of your property. The birdhouse in the gable is genius, with a camera installed. You'll have to show us any progress of a nest. Very charming. 🧡 A job well done, Summer and Sander. :)
Thanks for those kind words. We agree that the space feels much larger than 600 sq feet and think we were able to use every bit of space wisely. The birdhouse is absolutely hands down one of my favorite additions. We hope that we can actually livestream that if a bird moves in next spring. We'll see. My bet is that if it'll be anything, it'll be a tree swallow since they seem to be fearless of humans, and we had one build their nest in the box on the Common House too. We'll see!
Wow wow wow! What a joy it's been to watch the journey of the meadow house come to life. It's absolutely perfectly lovely!! And all the little details that make it special & unique. Incredible job y'all! ❤
OH MY LORD THAT FINAL SHOT WAS BREATHTAKING
This is just so perfect! Sander combines creativity, design sense and an almost OCD attention to detail that makes for an outstanding finished product. Summer brings similar talents, but in a slightly different combination, so they make the ultimate dream team. Any chance this will be a short-term rental in the future? Can't think of a better place to be the next time we are able to spend time in our old stomping grounds in the Finger Lakes. You should be very proud.
Such a sweet comment. Thank you for that. At this stage, this will be a place for one of us to stay in, especially now that the Common House will undergo renovations. But when our families or friends come in, this place will be for them. We don't think we will be AirBnBing this out largely because it's a bit persnickety with the care, like the tadelakt and the travertine; but we're considering other places in the future that maybe will be a bit more acceptable for outside guests.
@@FlockFingerLakes🌾You are so right. The attention to detail you have put on that place and the spectacular materials makes it too special to let strangers or even friends to stay there. This is a perfect retreat for either one of you two to enjoy.
Great!!! I like very much your dress Summer Rayne. I like all the colors. I like the furnitures the thinks.
The bathroom is excellent, because the two windows provide light to the bathroom and also the decoration give something special to the space. A bathroom without a window is like a prison. Congratulations!!!!
This is absolutely the best well planned small cottage I have ever seen. So much thought and love went into this home.
You both nailed it! I had no idea it wasn't a house to start. You made a beautiful HOME from an Office!
Yeah, it was a seasonal office at first, so they would drain the toilet and shut it down in winter typically. Luckily for us it was insulated well enough and had good bones for us to really make a few changes to get it to a place where someone could occupy it 4 seasons out of the year.
Using this as inspiration for renovating my grandmother’s house.
Thank You…The house is respecting history in a modern way, simply classy and absolutely…..BEAUTIFUL ❤️
I could so live in that house. It’s looks very cozy and comfortable. Peaceful is also nice call.
If Sander isn’t already taken, he’ll have a lot of candidates after this video. 😄 The work he’s done here is truly impressive. I love your cozy cottage house! 😍
For my personal preference, I would try to create more roundness in little places throughout, to offset all of those straight lines and overall squareness and also just to create more visual interest. For example, I would round off that doorway connecting the living room to the kitchen with an arch, place a round area rug in the living room, and have an oval shaped dining table (which would also just be more comfortable and practical to sit at and maneuver around when getting in and out of the wraparound bench seating). Perhaps add a rounded headboard over the bed and maybe a long, cylindrical throw pillow on it. I also would have used an arched, semicircle window, or maybe an octagonal one, for the front door. The only other thing I would have loved to see (and couldn't resist doing on a house like this) is adding a double opening dutch door off the kitchen! It's so nice, especially when you're cooking and with that view, to have that opened up, nice and bright, with all of the fresh air and breeze coming in! It's also great for serving the outside patio and keep any pets or young children from going in or out. Plus, it just goes so well with the cottage vibes and aesthetic of the home!
This is absolutely stunning and perfect tho! The craftsmanship and attention to detail, that went into the building and designing of this home, is so well done! You guys really did such a fantastic job! 😊
Absolutely gorgeous! I would so love to stay in this cozy home! Bravo! I love your gardens too!
I cried. Watched with revie - delight! And your dress!!! Chef's kiss
I looove that you went with a lot of American Made products and support small businesses! Lovely!
Saunder is a kick-ass man. What a talent he is.
I watched this video and then went back to leave a comment but left it on the previous video. It applies to this final reveal. Kudos!!
*Stunning* . The attention to detail is amazing! Gorgeous styling, love the color palette.
That opening shot is perfection! Stunning!!
That book was a favorite of mine I tell the story often to my children and grandchildren
Absolutely beautiful. It’s so calming and curated!!
Absolutely Gorgeous, stunning & cozy, 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 Great job Sanders and Summer!!!

I’m blown away by all you two have done to make a marvelous, cozy home!!!❤
Turned out great. It was so fun to watch its progress. It really feels like home!
Love it love it love it ! Congrats
Love the interior window. Did you know this is something the Shakers did? They called it “borrowed light.”
Just beautiful, great job!!!
Amazing job! Lots of love!! 💕
Absolutely gorgeous! Congratulations! I'd move in tomorrow :)
I love everything you all have done. It looks amazing and KUDOS to Sander for all of his beautiful work ❤️ ♥️ 💖

Just outstanding!❤
looks GREAT ! nicely done!
So beautiful !!!! Such a calm and magical place!
Lovely details, so special
your house is an artwork 😍 feels like a dream 🥰
This is absolutely beautiful! 😍😊
What a magical place the meadow cottage looks in the morning mist - like a painting! Sander is extremely talented with his craftsmanship and of course Summer has made the home so cosy and beautiful with the plants and pottery.
A lot of love, sweat, tears and passion went into this lovely cabin.
ABSOLUTE PERFECTION..!
What a beautiful transformation!!!
Wow! Such an absolutely stunning makeover. It's beautiful and so inviting and peaceful. You and Saunder are true artists.
Beautiful craftsmanship and design.
Every detail has been so thoughtfully crafted for beauty and functionality. It’s fantastic!
That turned out so great! I love all the thoughtfulness that went into the furnishings and even the medicine cabinet.
Love the kitchen, love the color. Well done
It looks fantastic, you've put so much thought into light and design, and it's all come together beautifully. Those storage benches in the kitchen / dining area are so beautifully crafted, Sander, and I also really love the edges and texture of the old pieces of wood you salvaged from a local barn for window ledges.
Such a stunning home😊
Absolutely beautiful!
Thank you for sharing the full circle
I remember so much of the construction you spoke of.
A lot of talent and love in that cottage 💜
Just wow! Saunder did an amazing job with the renovations. 😊
Excellent thought regarding painting the inside of the armoire the safe green. Wry well done in this beautiful cottage
This is a great video. Very informative. The house is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Love it. Thank you. Such a beautiful home, alive ❤❤
Wow, wow, wow, how wonderful! I love the way you explain things and all of the process and work you guys did! Good job!
The home is a piece of art! Wow!
That bathroom is gorgeous! Omg
This is phenomenal, probably one of the most magical, whimsical and homely spaces I've ever seen.
That kitchen! I hope you are proud of yourselves because the finished meadow house wildly surpassed all of my expectations.❤
Congratulations to both of you for a job very well done. It' so so beautifully thought through and put together.
Just stunning 😍 so much charm, character, functionality, comfort, quality...you hit all the notes!
Gorgeous couple have created a gorgeous house. Am so looking forward to watching the landscaping come together. Thank you Summer and Sander for sharing
I’m so in love with you guys! Thanks for sharing your hard work with us!
He is very gifted and you,very creative! What a pair! ❤
I give props to people who do their own renovations 👏🏾 me I can’t even put a light bulb in without getting frustrated🤣
Beautiful job. The green, cream, terra cotta and copper colors are naturally relaxing. It looks like you took the colors of the fall meadow outside and brought them inside.
So much talent used so well! I admire your work and your overall project. Thanks for sharing.
This place is so stunning.
Incredible work and attention to detail! You guys are truly artists and it's inspiring to see what you create
I finally got through this gorgeous video. My favorite is the bathroom, so warm and cozy. Bravo team!
Oh my goodness this is amazing. I love the amount of detail you’ve put into every aspect of the whole cottage. And the quality of this video was gorgeous.
So proud of what you are doing. So much life and creativity. Blessings, NC USA 🇺🇸
Outstanding!! The colours really came together. All the details. Amazing!!! It's just been such a pleasure watching all the work you have done. Bravo 👏
Such talent and love put into this amazing space
Oh my gracious!! I’m so in love, absolutely beautiful!!
Wow this is so so beautiful. It’s actually exceeded any expectations I had for it. Well done you two for all your hard work and vision!
Absolutely beautiful! You’re a great team…admittedly I fell for Saunder from the very first video. 😊 We heat our home with wood…one wood stove similar to yours, and an insert in the main living area. It feels so great but the plants get confused; one day it’s humid and the next it’s super dry so steamers and humidifiers are a must. I have rooms that stay cooler than others so my plants are always on the move. I love all the personal touches you’ve added and I can see you hanging out there reading and relaxing and of course caring for the plants.
enjoy staying in the meadow house, what a wonderfully lovely retreat to stay in... nice work!
