Oh thank you so much 😊
New here from South/West Texas USA 🇺🇸 loved how you decorated your beautiful cottage!
Hello and welcome! Thank you so much for your kind comment 🙏🏻😊🥰
Fantastic finds! Kudos to your son! Your cottage is the warmest welcoming hug! It greets you to come in and leave your worries behind. I Love it all. Your scale and base is excellent, but you do as your heart feels what is right. 😊It's hard to say my "favorite" accent color, but yellow, green and aqua blue are colors that makes my heart smile. BTW I used your wall filler and soil technique on a set of wood candleholders, they turned out perfect! I surprised myself. Thanks so much for inviting us in and sharing your cottage. It's beautiful. Have a wonderful weekend. 💙🥰
Oh that’s wonderful to hear! Will you use the technique on anything else? I think I’m just going to sand the scales base a little to distress back as was suggested earlier 😀Thank you so much for watching and sharing. Your continued support means the world to me🥰🥰🥰
Your videos are very much like Mary’s from the white cottage company… Very enjoyable indeed! 💕
Glad you like them! 🙏🏻😊
Beautiful cottage!
Ah thanks so much 🙏🏻😊
Wow everything is so unique and beautiful great finds. Love your style thanks for sharing.❤

Thank you Linda! Will do and thank you for watching 🙏🏻😊🥰
Hi Tracey, the cottage looks gorgeous and the two school tables stunning, not only serves as a coffee table but storage too. Plus recycle and reuse. Very clever. You have excellent taste and ideas, I watched the chair painted vlog and yes it is curing for now. Have a lovely week.
Ah thanks so much Tracey! Have you painted a chair? 🥰
Absolutely stunning!! I love how purposeful you are with your pieces. Your guests might not want to leave😊
I have a small collection of blue vintage chalet art glass. Blue adds such a serene feel to any room.
Hi Maggie!🤗 Oooooh your glass collection sounds beautiful 💙 and great tip for anyone thinking about using blue, it really does give a sense of serenity. Have a peaceful weekend darling 🥰
Wow , wow stunning i love every thing , i lovee you'r style sooooo much ❤❤❤
Thank you so much!! Really appreciate your lovely comment🥰
I do love the cheese board wood and wish I had that!!!
It’s unique! Just adore it 🤎🤍
Hola muchacha preciosa. La creatividad no tiene límite y la naturaleza es inmensamente hermosa. Y en sus manos, increíblemente bella. Ya se empieza a ver el otoño y yo estoy deslumbrada . Caminar por el jardín, debe ser tan relajante. Un abrazo corazón bonito 💝🌻
Oh thank you Maria🤗 yes the seasons are starting to change already. I’m not quite ready to let go of summer though! 🥰
This space is soooo pretty! Love the old school desk and the bench tops! Also the window seat idea! JUST AMAZING!
Such a simple technique to turn a table into a coffee table😉thanks so much for watching Lucy🥰
Hello! I am not a lover of blue, but I do like it. I started a small collection of blue and white plates when I was very young because my Mom had a collection. All the plates were different and no two matched. I remember one Thanksgiving, when I was 14 or 15, my Mom finally had enough for our big family dinner. She set the table with brand new deep blue cloth placemats and crisp white napkins. Then, she let me help place the plates. It was so beautiful. Each plate told its own story. About 15 years ago my Mom gave me her collection and mine had grown too. It still sets a beautiful table and people really enjoy it. I have my china high up in a cupboard. I can’t remember if I have ever used it and barely remember what it looks like. It’s nothing special to me and doesn’t spark joy. I always used my blue plates as my china, even when it didn’t match in my house. About 8 years ago I inherited my Grandmother’s every day dishes when she passed away. Besides her fancy china, it’s the only dishes I remember her using. The pattern is Rose Chintz by Johnson Brothers. Now I use both sets as my china and both set a spectacular table. I have redecorated my home so both sets look nice. Rose Chintz is on display in the family room and the blue and white in the living room. (I have added Blue Calico serving pieces to this collection.) I use both sets all the time when I get the kids all together for dinner or when anyone comes for dinner. I don’t save the “china” for holidays. I hear people saying their kids don’t want china or they don’t want the passed down china. I have a theory. If you only use china on stressful occasions, it leaves memories of stress. If you use it all the time there are happy memories attached. My 23 year old daughter told me the other day that she would love to have my grandmother’s dishes someday. This made me happy. (I think I might put my real china up on eBay.) Sorry about my tangent.😂 My favorite color to decorate with is green. Goes great with the pink and the blue! 🤣
What a wonderful story and I’m honoured you shared it with the community here🙏🏻How lovely that your daughter would like the dishes too 😊 I too am a believer that every day is a ‘best’ day, if you love it then use it!! 🤗🥰
That is a lovely story, thanks for sharing!
I am currently painting 2 rooms blue and one blue w green. ❤ Your style!
Oh thank you! Have fun with your decorating! 🙏🏻😊
Hi Tracy. I just found your channel today and I just had to pop on and say how very much I enjoy your content. I absolutely love your decor style and I now know what channel I will be binge watching for several days. Lol. I think I screenshot almost the entire video 😂. I can’t wait to watch so many more. Thank you for sharing your talent and creativity!
Welcome Deborah, I’m so glad you found me! Thank you for such a lovely comment and I do hope you enjoy the other videos 🙏🏻😊🥰❤️
I just love seeing your thrift/ auction finds. The amazing part is watching you style them in your home or cottage. You really pay attention to the smallest detail, like the garden view from the window. Your videos are always worth more than one viewing. Love it all, from Canada
Oh love that you watch more than once Lois! Yes the ‘devil is in the detail’ as they say😄 Have a great weekend 🥰
I agree with you Lois. She is gifted and approachable which makes for a very enjoyable view.
I have collected blue and white for over 40 years..... Plates, platters, dish sets, candlesticks, pitchers. Love it all. One of my favorites is not old... but a few years ago Spode had a berry dish with a handle and the sides held a little creamer ad a covered sugar bowl for serving with the berries. It is so unique and charming on my kitchen hutch. My favorites of your finds is that amazing brass scale, the oversized mortar and pestle and that gorgeous blue stoneware pitcher!!! I would not paint the scale base, as the contract works on the counter. Maybe just distress it a little on the edges with sandpaper. Rosemary in terra cotta pots and a candle... yes please!
Helloooo!👋🏼 Hope you have had a good week. Thanks so much for watching and sharing. Your Spode set sounds absolutely charming and well loved. Yes I think you are right about the scales, I was thinking about white oiling the base but just a rub back will probably suit them better 🤎🥰🤗
Beautiful ❤
Thank you! 😊
So many incredible thrifted finds. I love how you styled every vignette. I was totally amazed with the school desk and just by cutting the legs you made into a coffee table. I'm happy to have found your channel and enjoy every video. Have a blessed day. Much love from the state of Connecticut. ❤
Thank you! You too! I’m so grateful for your continued support 🙏🏻😊🥰
You have great taste! Your home is beautiful and I love everything that you do! If I ever hit the lottery you and I are going on major shopping spree LOL
Yaay!! Sounds fun!! 😃
Stunning! Love all the white with the pop of blue. I am quite intrigued by the twine wrapped electrical cords and the lamp frame/shade. Do you have a tutorial on that? It’s a gorgeous effect.
Thank you! 😊 yes I do, here’s the link czcams.com/video/O2UTjc72VUI/video.html 😁
Hola muchacha bonita. Es lo que me enamora de la decoracion , que además de bellos son de uso diario . ¡¡Por Dios el barro y la madera son la combinación que mas me gusta . Y las canastas son soñadas. Que felicidas se respira aún en la distancia y el tiempo 💝🌻

That’s so lovely to hear! Thank you! 🙏🏻😊🥰
OMG I love everything you do. I would love to go shopping with you xxx
Thank you! How fun that would be! 😃
Oh my goodness….what is that plant you put on the table…I LOVE IT! I could watch you decorate all day…I just love the white everywhere! Thank you for sharing your talent!
Thank you! I just used clippings from the garden, fern and daisies 🌿🤍
A touch of Blue and White Chinoiserie pottery in every room.
How lovely 💙🤍
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I like the contrast of the dark wood against the lighter countertop.
I agree! 😁
The cottage is lovely and I like the touches of blue and white. I like the dark base on the scale. If you like the leather sofa, could you change the feet to make it a tad shorter?
That’s a great suggestion although the feet are already very squat. I’ll wait til I find the right one then donate this to the charity furniture store that I like to support 😊
I love those blue touches, the neutral touches with blue is gorgeous! What a gorgeous cottage, tracey you have such a beautiful Taste for decorating! The bathroom is a dream, that big Sofa with the view to outside is amazing! I love how you reused that schooldesk 🤩🤩 absolutly amazing! Soo happy i found your channel!

You have found a lot of lovely things to make your home look great!
And there is a story behind every one which makes them even more special. Thank you so much for watching 🙏🏻😊
This looks really fabulous. Congratulations. I loved the way you styled everything. Please keep the brass scales base as is. The best part was your repurposing and your artistic stylish eye.
That’s so kind of you! 🙏🏻 Yes the scales are staying as they are 😁
You have a great eye for beautiful finds!! Your revamping is stunning
Thank you so much!🙏🏻😊
Hello. The cottage looks stunning 😊. As I said before I am going to borrow some of your ideas for my cottage too. Take care 😊
Hi Maggie 🤗 are you at the cottage at the moment or are you back? Did you decorate the veranda? 🥰
Hi. We are back now. I got most of it done. We are going back for summer so I will send you some photos. I am working on home here. This place is so moody and dark compared to the cottage. I live the
Difference between the two. Cheer 🥂

I absolutely LOVE your style!! I wish I could find some of the things you have for decorating! I will have to take a day and visit some thrift shops! What garland is that you are using on the mantel from Hobby Lobby that your son picked up for you?
Thank you so much!! Sorry I don’t know the name of the garland 🙏🏻😊
New subscriber❤
Watching you from Florida. Love your decorating, and your imagination and your accent.
Have you tried reaching out to Hobby lobby?
You can go online and see their products. I can’t imagine that they wouldn’t ship products to you. It seems to me like they would. Again I love love your decorating.
When I speak Spanish, I use the word veranda When I speak English I say porch.😊
Hello and welcome! So pleased you found me🤗We can’t even access the Hobby Lobby website from the UK. In fact I think it can only be seen in the USA! Even my friends in Canada can shop online with them🤷🏼♀️
@@RuralRefurb well this gives you a good excuse to come and visit Florida and bring two or three empty suitcases so that you can take it back full of hobby lobby. Goodness.
It can be overwhelming sometimes; 😉😊
I love your videos having recently found them on CZcams. I particularly love the blue and white decor in your little cottage. Do you rent it out? I’d would be interested if you do.
It’s something we plan to do in the future but not just yet 😊
What auction did you get these things from please. Love your videos you are very inspiring ♥️

How do you keep all the stuff you have clean?
Rooms get cleaned on a rota as it’s too big to clean in one go. It’s alway tidy though as I’m a neat freak!! 😄
Do you rent out this cottage? Ps my husband may divorce me the amount of time I’m binge watching your posts!
Hahaha! Love that! Not at the moment, we use it for guests and filming as we are a shoot location house😊
Do you rent the guesthouse?
Not at the moment but it is something we are thinking about 😁
