Hi there,

Hello all!!!
It’s frosty here in Ireland today!
Hope you are all well and happy...
For anyone concerned about charging batteries in the drawer. In Ireland we have different plugs, sockets and regulations than in other countries so it is safe.
Check out any links to other videos above in the description box! Have a magical week and thanks for watching! 🎈🌹❤️
Hello, hope you are well too ! :)
Hi this is a lovely idea, but it’s dangerous in practice. It goes against fire regulations in the UK and Ireland. Better safe than sorry
Good Moring
Here in Virginia in The United States it is 10:00 and 32 degrees
Thank you for being such a help giving people such food ideas and advice. I look forward to what you are going to.come up with this yeat
Corralling your chargers is still a good idea. If you did this in a box with a lid you could take the lid off overnight. Or replace it with a gridded lid the air can come through.
I was going to mention it. I've had items get hot randomly...
My dad taught me how to replace plugs as well. He also taught me how to use power tools, etc.. It was a great sense of empowerment. I wish all dads would teach their daughters about power tools, and all moms their sons how to cook, and sew.
It's funny cause my mom is more of the handyman, she was born in a family of 8 kids, so it was essential that her dad made sure that each kid knew how to rely on themselves if any project was needed.
Oh, my dad taught his daughters many practical life skills! Such men are missing in today's society even for young men to role model
Agree 100%
Sorry but I think boys should do what they are drawn to, which is more rugged pursuits than sewing. The Rockefellers funded 2nd wave feminism to undermine the traditional family unit for their own nefarious purposes. I used to be a feminist but not anymore. I believe traditional gender roles should be honored as much as possible. Of course everyone should have choices but pushing boys into activities that are traditionally feminine is creating weaklings among our men.
So true my dad taught me too.
What I love most about your channel is you aren’t being sponsored or trying to sell us anything. You are so lovely to listen to and so interesting. Thank you xx
Couldn’t agree more - she’s put out 4 videos which takes us a few minutes to consume but I’m sure takes her many hours to edit ❣️ appreciate her dedication and purpose!
She’s amazing isn’t she? ❤️
Ah it is so kind that you see. Loads of effort goes in but my husband and I really love doing it all!
I wouldn’t say no to a sponsorship but it is so hard to get one aligned with my principals!
you summed up what I feel. 😊🧡
@@FairylandCottage principles. There should be yarn companies , garden tours , garden supplies that mirror your belief and could be supportive. Think creatively. As a lawyer I work with startups all the time. I enjoy relaxing to your channel after coming to the countryside in Michiana from downtown Chicago.
i really like that this doesn’t involve getting rid of anything to declutter, or putting it away in storage and making it less accessible. everything is still just as convenient to access when you need them, it just makes everything look better and less overwhelming.
i find tips like this much more useful than ones that talk about how to just get rid of things, since there’s a lot of things that you use and need every day but still might be overwhelming to look at !
Very important point about things still being in easy access. This is what I learnt after 3 years of off and on decluttering
I like the idea of baskets with a lid to keep the look clean
Also keeps dust or pets hair out!
Seeing how my husband was raised by his Grandmother I can nearly instantly tell when someone was raised by a Grandparent. They just have a different way about them, an old soul. Oh how I wish I could have met any of my Grandparents! We as a society have failed our kids. Giving them a soda and an iPad and telling them to go to their room is teaching and benefitting them ZERO. THANK YOU for this channel. I love it. And as always, MORE please 🤣🥰🥰
Ah what a lovely message! You are so true. Isn’t it great though that we can choose our actions and thoughts... we need more like you that have the sensitivity! 🥰🤗🪴🧚♀️
yes l agree, we can learn so much from the elderly. you could always adopt a grandparent, and listen to the stories about riding 11-12 hours in a buggy drawn by a horse.
Going to town once a month and getting supplies.
The millennium generation do not use their imagination and they are entertained all the time. what are they going to do when the Comet gets close enough to cause a EMP?
The Corina is really man made virus from the flu virus. It how the NWO is coming in control.
In China the 1 millions of people that died, it was nothing to corina.
The 5-G network had just been put in that city, and they used it a a bio weapon. If you crank up the 5G, it will deplete the oxygen in your organs and when he gets to your brain it will cause people to fall down dead.
Don't get tested for the covid, on the end of the swab is a Nano chip. it can track you, and it will change your DNA, and everything a Microchip can do. This is the Mark of the beast. when it first came out Bill Gated had it patent and its

The false prophet is Pope Francis. The Rapture is suppose to happen in Spring of 2021. Repent and know Jesus, he is my only hope. he loves us and he came to set us free. Shalom
That is so true my wife lived with her Nan on most days, and she’s learnt so much from her especially the cleaning and decluttering aspect.
She always says me Nan used to do like this so I do.
She opens all the windows daily winter or summer.
Freshen the house.
As the owner of a honkin' big woodstove I use for months at a time, I don't know if I'd want to cuddle a wicker basket up that close to the stove if you regularly get the stove up and running. I view that as a fire hazard.
I love Sundays, long lie in, pancakes for breakfast and watching this channel, it`s the little things that makes the world a happier place. :)
Ah thanks! I had pancakes for breaky this morning too!!
@@FairylandCottage I made huevos rancheros yummy!
Love the charging station idea
I love having cleared counters. Easy on they eyes and less for little grandkids to get into
👍🤗💕
I agree 🤗🏡❤️
Aaaawww what a sweet thing to say 🎉
I thought I was the only one who covers the yarn in my knitting basket. I have to because of the cat!
Haha I never thought of cats unraveling all the wool!
@@FairylandCottage Dogs, and grandchildren, too!
I learned the hard way. I kept my yarn in a basket by my chair in the living room. For some reason, our dogs decided to mark the new yarn and the blanket I was making, destroying that project and the future project in waiting.
When I told my wife what your video was about this week she laughed and said.... the first thing I would have to do is get rid of my husband and dog 😂
😂 way too much clutter to have around!
Which first? The husband or the dog?
I would have to be in agreement with her on that 😊💗
Husband goes. I can deal with the dogs and cats.
Haha... you guys are real funny..... I think my wife was serious 🤠🐶
I came here to learn decluttering tricks, and to fill my soul with the beautiful sound of your lilting Irish accent / voice. ✨💖✨
Ditto 💝
@@marg233 Me too 💜🍀
I feel the same her videos 💓
😊
Me as well!!! I've been binge watching/listening quite a bit lately, and I just love it!!! The videos are done with lovely taste, and the music is just perfect!!! I'm so thankful and grateful to have found it, a true gem here on CZcams!!! 😌💚🍀
It was like magic how my brain just relaxed when you took the candle off the tray. And many of the other moments as well. Even those of us who love a more colorful and less minimalist look can learn to have a visually relaxing home.
And as always, your soft lovely Irish voice is so soothing.
🙏♥️
I agree!
I agree! Even with different colour palettes it’s all about making the home relaxing visually.
YES, you're right ! I am from France, near Lourdes, and I do so much like this soft lovely Irish voice, as you said ! Thanks, Fairyland Cottage !
There was an era of all neutral colors that swept through the land several decades ago. One writer called it the "Oatmealization of America." That catchy name stuck in my trivia marinated brain. 😊
I once read a detective book where the police were searching the home of the murdered woman and the comment was that she was a beige woman who lived in a beige house and had a beige life. Lol! I need color, soft muted colors, but color and pattern.
Interesting! I wonder if that was the inspiration for Eiffel 35's Blue
Sounds familiar; I think the author was Ruth Rendell.
Haha
Perhaps their favourite holiday destination is Beige In😂🤣
I like texture!
I love for everything to look tidy! I just wish everyone in my household liked for things to look tidy also!
I love the idea of the hidden socket. Wires are painful to the eyes and this gives me an idea how to make my house tidier. Thanks very much, as always🥰
I’m in Oklahoma. In the US right now we are so stressed. I love to watch your videos with your calming voice and great advice on making our lives simple and calm. Thank you
My reaction to notifications regarding your videos is much like that of a child awaking on Christmas morning! Unbridled excitement! You’re absolutely precious, and your authenticity is a true breath of fresh air amid a chaotic world! Thank you for bestowing peace and invaluable advice! Much love from Texas! ❤️
My house doesn't have a neutral palette. I reduce visual clutter, though, by using similar colors throughout my entire small home, mostly soft green, coral, and soft red. I find these colors to be soothing and uplifting at once.
Ah yes I love the use of colours to sooth and uplift!
Love all your videos. I should have said so before this. Thank you so much!
I loooove green!
Large expanses of bare wall can be beautiful & calming. It's maddening to me when every inch of wall space in a home is covered with pictures & decor. (But cozy little library rooms with wall to wall shelves of books & knick-nacks are wonderful. Every home should have one comfy hideaway.)
I love the idea of "threes". I'm going to play with that. Thank you!
What goes around, an old telephone bench now stores the recharging telephone. I am clutter certified and my furniture may be neutral but cushions and glass of yellow and cobalt blue make it feel like a painting and to me visually wonderful.
I love that!! A visual painting indeed!
Yes! Haha! I have heard them called “chatting benches.”
Glad the little candle found a new home.
I would have loved to meet your grandfather. He sounds like a resourceful man. Your plugs are so different from ours in America. It's interesting.
Ah thanks! He was a gentleman. Kind resourceful and honorable
@@FairylandCottage My dad does something similar, he disassembles the cable from each broken electronics (iron, hair dryer) and makes an extension cord or socket splitter out of it. We always have to ask him, if we can throw something out (i don't even live with my parents anymore), or if it's something that he can either repair or use parts of it.
I think that cabinet is called a gossip bench. It was for a telephone, and then the “housewife” could sit in the bench and gossip on the phone. I have one without a drawer but with a little shelf from the 1920s or 1930s. Picture it with one of those standup phones with the cone to speak into, and the listening part on a cord on the side.
It sounds charming! :)
What a great visual ❤❤❤
Haha yes I got it secondhand. No one wants them anymore! I think they are great!
That's a very good idea popping the plug socket and the chargers in the draw out of sight. And yet everything's neat and tidy.
I'm with all the points, but I need my color! ❤️
This was my thought too, colorful patterns make me happy!
Me too!💙💚💜
Those are some pretty baskets. I’m always looking for baskets at the thrift store, but I love your big ones.
Yeah when I see I grab! Rare to find the big ones but I find some and the others I pick up in tkmaxx
Yes love those.. You can make them from cardboard boxes and twine.
So beautiful and calming. I love the beige color scheme.
I had to laugh though, my apartment is such a wreck. I’m organizationally challenged.
The only suggestions I could make would be how to create more clutter LOL 😆 🤷🏼♀️
So many helpful ideas, Nimah. Especially for me who lives with Inattentive ADD.
I used to call myself, the queen of procrastination, before I knew about my diagnos, which I was getting to know about ,just recently, att 55 years of age... That has made me looking for strategies that work and that don't hinder me, but help me out-jokey my own brain to not stop myself from doing things... As I have Inattentive ADHD (ADD), I live with a smaller amount of DOPAMINE, wbich also make my level of energy very low and therefore I need every kind of smart Ideas to help me through my days.
You have so many great Ideas that are helpful for a lot of us, and for that I am so grateful... And your calm and peaceful vidoes and voice are perfect for a Sunday morning!💖💖💖Lots of love from Sweden 🇸🇪
Thank you for this video!,halfway through , I got some ideas for the room I’m sitting in and stopped the video and I now feel better about the room.
This is my go-to comfort video. I watch it almost every week, and I’ve started using your tips.
Your grandfather would be so proud of you not wasting your plugs and everything else ❤
I did the same thing with my Dad too. Funny things he taught me - never running, playing or kicking balls. He taught me to fish and to attend to my own tackle. My Dad was a prawn trawler man. Hi from Australia.
In addition to its clear utility, I also nominate this for unintentional ASMR! So soothing and calming...
I am enamored with you storybook channel. This episode really played into my love for baskets and organization. You just sold me on buying more baskets! lol I love it. You're fisherman sweater is divine and I do crochet as well so I am using many of these wonderful tips and reminders.
I’m a first timer here. You earned yourself a sub. There were some good ideas, for example I liked the idea of putting things in baskets on your counter tops. However what really impressed me was your calm and quiet demeanour. So often, Tubers gush, or almost yell. It’s as if they think they have to be hyper to get subscribers. I enjoyed just being shown, quietly.
Hi there, I'm really sorry but that is a massive fire hazard, there's no air flow should anything overheat.... There needs to be an open back or grill front.....
I so agree with you. Much more ventilation needed at back of the drawer, or keep the drawer open when charging. I also don't charge my phone overnight. I know it is the most convenient time, but what if it were to overheat? You would not be aware of it until it had started a fire. Perhaps I am being over cautious, but better safe than sorry, is my motto.
Are you by any chance from the US? Uk and Eu plugs and outlets are much safer than the ones used in the US most Plug extenders have a overheat safety switch off
Very different plugs and regulations here in Ireland
@@debs_SoggyBottom l
I agree, it will become a flaming drawer. I never recharge things over night just in case
Thank you for this video! I love the baskets with the lids!
I just love how creative you are. I loved the little meditation chair and what you did with it💜
I love baskets & trays ❤️❤️ especially love when everything is neatly tucked away 😊
Your home is so pretty and looks so peaceful. I love all the glass jars and natural wicker baskets.
Tidy and stylish. :)
Very inspirational with the cables. I love your cable cardigan too. Pretty snowflakes have been slowly falling all morning here. Magical wishes back to you.
You go girl! Love the idea of putting the plug inside the drawer!! And good on your grandad for teachin ya 💖
Wicker baskets are one of my favorite thrift store hunts. I do exactly the same! Same with the three things. I like to use only natural hues and materials like you, and it feels so nice ❤️
I find watching Fairyland Cottage very calming and soothing for frayed nerves. Your home looks so peaceful with the monochromatic colors and variety of textures. Great idea about all the cords; I love to see another woman not afraid of using a drill and screwdriver! ♥️
I always love watching your videos. Your home looks so cozy and warm. Even the shots taken from outside of the house, it reminds me of when I was a kid and the world was so much younger, cleaner and more peaceful.
Ah! I think there's been fairy action again in Fairyland Cottage...anyone else see the jar move back at 4.50min. Might have been if you edited the footage but that's not half as magical as fairy action!! I love uncluttered spaces. I too live in an old cottage with very little storage space so there's an art to creating calming spaces that are soothing to the senses and not chaotic. You achieve this so well Niamh. x
Great tips! Thank you! xx
I love all your baskets and wish I could find them here! 😃 On Friday afternoon I was so excited because I bought a carrying basket from a street vendor so that I can also carry all my veggies and flowers and so on like you do!! You've been such an inspiration over the past almost-year, and have made a huge impact on me and also my sister and neighbour ☺️ Ripples.... Take good care of yourself, Niamh 🤗🌺
Some great ideas here, thank you. I particularly liked the drawer for charging electricals, that's very clever!
I’m so inspired to try these ideas. Thank you!
I’ve been decluttering as well! This is great inspiration, thank you 😊
I get my moment of peace from your channel every Sunday!
Love these ideas. The baskets really do keep things tidy. You have a beautiful and cozy home. Enjoy your day!
GM. I love the idea decluttering the electronic wires using the telephone table. I also loved using baskets and the trays for a visual clean look. See you next week. M
I love Sunday's and that you upload another video 🥰 love it so much, thanks for sharing 💗
Thank you! I am going to start today. Very inspiring . Xxx
Your videos always manage to calm my racing brain down and smilutaneously giving me loads of inspitation! A true gem :)
Loved the video. :) We're in Ireland too...got snow on the ground out there still and it's bitterly cold but I'm from northern Scotland so used to it. I would love to be tidier, but our downfall is books..we literally have a couple thousand of them and our bookcases line about every wall so the house always looks cluttered. Plus, it's a small cottage so floor space is limited. I love the idea of the baskets, and your colour palette..very soothing and calming. :)
I love the natural theme throughout your space. Lovely.
I love Sundays, l clean the whole house up. Put everything back in its place. Then get ready at night for your channel😊it's something l always look forward too. Listening to you makes me calm an relaxed to start a new Monday. Enjoy the new week Niamh. Best wishes. Xx👍❤️😉
I've been doing these kind of things without knowing, I love your channel so much!
Love the tips! Thank you so much.
Hello from Chicagoland. What a lovely, calm video. My hubby and I visited Ireland a few years back while our daughter was studying in Galway. We stayed in a beautiful Airbnb that was so visually pleasing and uncluttered, just like your home. 💗
Thank you for making these videos for us! Hope to one day come back for a visit to your beautiful country!
I find your ideas so refreshingly practical and your voice so calming. Thank you for that !
I just learned I am half ☘️ Irish so more about Ireland would be great! Such a beautiful channel.
This was such a calming video thank you. I like using large trunks and chests. They hold A LOT and are lovely to look at
What a beautiful video tonight, so envious of your delightful home! Thanks for sharing all your incredible ideas for tidying Paula in sussex
I love your voice. It is so calming and kind. Just joined your channel, it is a nice way to start my day!
Great ideas...really enjoy your videos. !Have a great week !
TRAYS... yaasss Sistah... we share the same tray philosophy! My house is not as clutter-free as yours, and my partner saves a lot of bits and bobs (“raw materials for repairs”, as he always says, similar to your grandfather?)... so trays are a life saver. Wooden ones are my fave. And yes, I’m that freestyle yoyoing gal... and my yoyos, strings, and tools are also in trays. During this time, our face masks and hand sani are also in a tray at the door. I loved this video, and I love your channel. Thank-you so much for sharing, encouraging, and inspiring us 🌿💜🪀
Love this! Also really like your voice is so soothing 💕
Woke up here in Hertfordshire (UK) to snow. it looks beautiful from the inside. Think its time to clutter some things today. The plugs look so tidy, simple (if you can take a plug off (i can lol)but really nice idea, looks good, all is looking great. Thanks xx
Great ideas! My aesthetic is Cozy Cottage so it's naturally a more cluttered look, but I still like to use baskets and group things so that the eye isn't overwhelmed.
Great tips, particularly like the one about the chargers
did the very same thing with cords last summer, on our bedside tables and on our kitchen counter (where I hid them all in a wooden wine box), never been happier about drilling holes in furniture :) wishing you the brightest 2021!
Very inspiring! Thank you.
Great tips! Thank you for this. ✨❤️🙏
I've been decluttering a few weeks thanks for keeping it real.
Thanks for the great ideas!!
Hello from Norfolk, VA. I really enjoyed your video. It had lots of great ideas. I learned I need to get some wicker baskets with lids! LOL! Beautiful cozy home you have made.
thank you for the ideas i have been trying to find some affordable baskets
Thank you so much for that tip of keeping things in sets of THREE! That idea really excited me, I'm going to try it when I clean my room soon. Also liked the tip of putting whatever you can in trays or baskets etc to make them look more organized or to conceal them, and the tip of keeping countertops as clear as possible. I'm going to implement those 3 things in my room! Love this video.
i love those baskets:) a beautiful video as always.I don't know what it is but every time I watch a video of yours it automatically makes me feel calm and happy, even if its's my 5th time watching it:):) many thanks xxx
Love it!! Thank you!
This is brilliant for me and I’m off to buy baskets today . I sometimes stand in my rooms hating the clutter but literally don’t know where to start I’m allways in a mess but Iv got a few tips from you . Lol life changing
I love how your posts calm my mind. Would love to see a guided meditation 💚☘️💚
Brilliant!! This is one of my troubles, as much as I try come up with ideas I end up cluttering again, but with some of this ideas now that can change!
Well Niamh, yes, your benevolent influence continues! From watching here, I changed to part-time work, started cooking lovely vegetarian food and am a happier person....you're definitely a fairy!
so lovely thank you!
You always have the best tips for living a simple, but happy life!😊 ❤️
I 💛 your use of 🗑, very clever. Thank you for the great tips.
Thank you for my regular calming Sunday fix. Xxxx
Love the way you used the basket for storage beautiful
How tidy and perfect the updated stool looks under the table ♥️ great work on all these things. Thanks for a lovely, relaxing video about how to have a lovely, relaxing home environment.
Glad to have found you, your video was most enjoyable. I’m going to take your advice about using a basket to corral miscellaneous items on my benches. I think it will look more restful with less clutter. I just wanted to mention though that I’m a little concerned about having your chargers on the go in a wooden drawer, they get quite hot! Possibly you have already sussed this out and I’m worrying for nothing but I thought I’d mention it. I look forward to seeing the other videos you’ve posted, thanks for sharing your lovely ideas! 🥰
Totally agree with the suggestions.
What an inspiration you are! Love your videos 😊
Wonderfully helpful ideas!
Simple and soothing. Oh, no! I need to get going on these ideas. My house is visual nightmare, but now I feel motivated. I'm ordering some baskets with lids TODAY!
Absolutely love the gate and all the nature in the background.
