- Furniture maker Cat Hart and her husband Chaston bring new life to a run-down cottage: "Filled to the brim with rooster collectables and stray cats, this 1930s cottage was nearly doomed for demolition when we bought it in 2018. After a yearlong restoration, it has continued to be a labor of love to restore it to its former glory while putting our own unique stamp on it. Our desire has been to make every corner intentional and meaningful, so that the overall feeling is (hopefully) one of beauty and warmth without being pretentious." Cat's home was chosen for our Small/Cool 2022 Finalist.

What a transformation of Cat and Chaston's home! Let us know your favorite feature of their space. (For clarity, the stray cats that were mentioned in the description were discovered when they first saw the cabin before it was bought and renovated. Apologies for any confusion).
I love their philosophy on home. Not being too precious to enjoy and live in, and organized but messy enough in a healthy way. Love love love this and their style!
Yes, it was the same when I was designing my house. I want my home to look beautiful, but I want it to be comfortable and not to serious. I don’t have a lot of money so it took me three years and some of my pieces are bargain basement, and others aren’t. But I do my best to make it all fit together. I would never want anyone to walk in and feel like they could not sit and make themselves comfortable.
These two should have a podcast! Their voices are perfect for it!
I couldn’t agree more
I am going to have to agree with you as well.
Yes 🤩
The handmade furniture... the wheeled storage under the bed... the hanging lamp that twists... the cabinet for the tv... the styles of the chairs... the kitchen banquette... I mean their skills and taste in interior decorating is definitely amazing. The decor makes their home pleasant to live in and also practical because the storage they have is easy to use and doesn't overwhelm the small spaces.
I like these kind of house tours because it's more relatable to the average person than some huge mansion most of us will never live in or want to live in.
Love this!!! I'm buying a 600 square foot apartment so would love to see more of these! But please fix the editing, it moves between the shots too fast, I don't have time to take in the rooms before it switches! Need to slow it down for myself or pause it. I would love to watch them if they're a few minutes longer, and I can actually see everything!
Thanks for watching and appreciate the feedback. We’re working on showing more details, so you can take in these tours more.
I TOTALLY AGREE. I need you to do it all again and to slow it down 💯 percent.
The way they talk to each other tho
I think what they've done added a lot of character and interest. This is my kind of living. It's far from cold and stark. I love the multifunctional design elements. Looks like they've made living in their home fun and interesting.
Am i the only one wondering what happened to the stray cats? I hope they are the ones they've showed.
Btw, its a lovely house and it inspired me to create my own furniture! Love the lamp on the dinning area!
I am wondering what happened to those poor stray cats too. 😿
I thought the same.
I thought about those cats, too.
Me too
Yes the cats were my first thought too.
Fabulous! All the handmade furniture is gorgeous, the layout is airy yet cozy, and you have both a happy dog and happy cat! The porch adds a great dimension for additional living. Did you also make the orange 2-part hanging lamp? If not please share where you got it!
It’s true. Just got a house and feeling stressed to fill it up but I had to stop going on retail websites to give myself a break. Now I just enjoy the moment. It’s not a marathon. Thanks
What a beautiful home!
This house is set up a lot like mine. This just confirms taking the wall out to open up my kitchen to living room. My little home has no real dining zone. This is perfect.
Cute, but the video was too short. I wish you would have show more details of the house
As an owner of an 864 sq. ft. 2 bedroom 1 bath home (with an attached 624 sq. ft. shop and garage), these apartment size houses with living space in the 750 to 950 sq. ft. range are those that interest me the most. One small request: I wish A.T. would list the actual dimensions of the house, I would guess this one is 25' x 32'.
Same here. Me and my spouse just purchased a home about the same sq as yours with a detached garage/guest room. I enjoy watching videos with smaller home prints between 700- 900sq for inspiration and motivation.
@@Jesusmysweetheart Cool! Conventional two bedroom houses in and around ~ 850 +/- sq. ft. do not seem to be very popular in videos - but they seem to pop up in apartment and mobile home videos. Best wishes.
I like their philosophy of not making something so precious that you’re afraid to mess it up. I designed my home around me only and it worked… however, then a cat arrived unplanned at my door and my home was definitely not cat-fit 😂 I’ve had to come to terms with my beautiful expansive sheer curtains having a few claw holes and my lovely chair to have fabric pulls… eventually I will replace some things with items that are more cat proof… but because I’m not attached to ‘things’ (even though I’ve created a beautiful space), I don’t mind them getting a bit worse for wear… because my new fur friend is the greatest part of my home 🥰
They did a great job! I love the storage solutions that was shown.
I’ll take the home and the couple. Lol. They seem like cool people. I love all of the clever storage/decor items!
Beautiful house. an amazing job done.👌🏾
I think I like their voices and banter better than the house 😂 but no gorgeous and very nice use of space 🏠❤️
What a Fantastic Job! Well done. Your renovation was well planned out and executed. I love the open concept and the banquette is genius. Thanks for sharing.
Obsessed with this small house and loved the sentiments of the owners as well.
Awesome space, I know it's not huge but it doesn't come across as small.
Your design choices are great, the rolling box for under the bed is a great storage solution 👌 thank you for showing us round 😀
Your new home is just breathtaking, years ahead of enjoyment of such a unique space!
Love everything about this house!
I love their outlook on life and home
Beautiful blessings on you both
Wise purchase, sensible decor, equals relaxed life. Well played.
Beautiful, comfortable and functional! Love it!
Small is beautiful
Love it! Excellent use of space!
BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL!!
Love the floor plan and all the arrangements. Plan to built a home like this.
Love from INDIA. Kerala state. ❤️
Stunning!

I love your place! Great job!

Amazing

So smart & really nice! Ps. I hope all those stray cats found loving homes.
You did an amazing job ❤️
Awesome!
i love this so much
I love it!!!
Great job
Well done!
Can just imagine how cosy it is in winter with the log fire
WOW.
The reason why I bought a starter home: “you’ll get there faster, because it IS a smaller place.”
Such a warm, inviting, beautiful home.
Somebody loved that yellow at one time.
This is so cute and well designed! One of mu favorite videos as of late. Great job you two. I know dad had to be angry trying to fix up and renovate this during that georgia summer, with humidity tho🤣
OMG I wish I knew where the light/lamp was from!
👍 nice!
This is nice
Cute
Love you the house the privilege to create a dream
what happened to the stray cats?
I really want to know where that circle wall light fixture came from!
It's a cute house!
I lived in Savannah for 6 years, not too long ago.
Curious what part of town the house is in. Doesn't look like Ardsley Park, looks more like Thunderbolt or the edge of one of the areas that's being rehabbed.
Lol 😂 2:34 thought someone was photobombing your video through your window carrying a cupboard or stereo speaker until I looked at the video when you’re outside and it’s the bird feeder… 🤦♂️
I personally don't think the place is that small lol. Love they are so happy and yes some clever solutions. It is nice to see not everything has to be Mid Century Modern, Farmhouse Chic, minimalist or Ikea/Scandi/Japandi. One minor detail there is something off putting about the gallery wall above the sofa - it is too high.
A big fan of these smaller dimension homes and as such, I can't quite understand the appeal of mansions, let alone the McMansion types. I guess it's a peacock mentality thing, I don't know.
🔥🔥🔥👍….
Where is the restoration??
I'd love to see how they corrected the structural problems.
What happened to the stray cats, Cat?
Not crazy open the open shelving in the kitchen
I gave a thumbs up ,but really the filming was wayyyy too fast 😢😢
Cute house but too bad it’s in Georgia.
Where are the 12 stray cats now??
Ok but what happened to the poor cats?
So, they are in separate rooms ;-) ....
Ouch remember that the previous owners loved it too- be kind.
I’m only 53 seconds into the video & I KNOW I was meant to see this. I’m in school for real estate in Louisiana & I’m interested in interior design & photography also. I’m movin into an 800 sq. foot apartment nxt month & the couch I’m buying is this exact color also 🥹 so, thank you.
Love her advice on taking a picture of a scene in a movie that you like or a cafe you’re sitting in. So true!
