❤ Nostalgia for me. I grew up with this as a British Subject. I've introduced my granddaughters to the heirloom pieces that I inherited. I incorporate lace, crochet, tatting, gingham, any old but beautiful thing into my decor. For years I had no one in my circle who appreciated this style. It's wonderful to see young people enjoying and appreciating the beauty, craftsmanship and sheer talent.

I think this is a lifestyle rather than an aesthetic, that is why it has staying power.

I fully believe in cottagecore for spring/summer and dark academia for fall winter so this is perfect

I’m only 42 but I’m an old lady at heart and always have been. I’ve crocheted my own lace doilies for all over the house

I was born in the 60's, raised in the 70's, partied in the 80's and settled down in the 90's. I love the feel, nostalgia and resurgence of what they now call "Cottagecore" but I'm not going to lie.... it hurt a little when you said "I THINK it's called an afghan blanket" - ouch. I'm getting so old! lol

Meh.. I never feel old. I feel proud of having lived this long and have so much life experience to see other generations discovering what I already experienced. It is satisfying.

I love that cottagecore is based on my home town culture! ❤

I grew up in the '70s and '80s. Yep, I'm ancient 😆 My parents weren't cottage core. However, accordion peg wall-hangers, wall shelves with hooks, doilies, cafe curtains in the kitchen, copper "display pans" and molds hanging on the walls in the kitchen, philodendron (everywhere), afghan blankets (everywhere), and baskets (for everything), were things I grew up with in every apartment and house we lived in. I'm not really into cottage core, but thank you for the nostalgia :)

As european, I do live in Pre Alpi, most of this is our traditional style! :-) Maybe my is more closer to the "tyrol" one? 🫡

I’ve done more than half of these lol. But the bedsheet as wall paper is amazing. Never thought of that!

I love this video. I love the fact that you talk us through what you are doing. ❤

I love this kind of content. You're always so well informed and the ideas you put together are so inspiring. Also, loving your clothes. Thank you for the video! 💕

I feel a bit like I did in the 90’s when ‘Shabby Chic’ became a thing and my home decor became trendy! Thirty years later it’s happening again. Always a nice decade when my four-poster bed frame is a desirable item once more.

I adore all of this. I love my DA room but for spring and summer time I'm always so tempted to make it cottage core! My dream would be to have a cottage core kitchen but I can't right now...thank you for making me dream! ❤ (Also your corset and blouse...woaw!!)

I was so happy to see that I my home already has a lot of the items you mentioned! I wasn't sure that my cottage core loving heart showed in my space but now I know that it must 🥰 I also got a lot of new ideas that I can't wait to get started on. Thank you so much 💕 btw I love the corset you're wearing!

Listen I'm not interested in interior design at all, but you are so entertaining that I watch anyway. You're absolutely gorgeous, seems like you have a great personality, and your passion for this is infectious. All that adds up to a combination that I love watching even though I wouldn't really be interested otherwise. Wish you the best of luck as your channel grows, I'll keep on watching!

Ok I have the decorating skills of a tree stump, so besides like ren fair, etc, I wouldnt often watch these type of vids. But they are oddly relaxing to me and hearing you talk I kind of passively learn some new things. I look forward to your vids, Im online but I feel like im unhooked. So tyvm, L. ✌

I’m so glad I found your channel. You have some of the most unique content. Keep up the great work! 😊✌🏼

Oooh this is perfect timing! I have been thinking about the under-the-stairs corner and deep nook that we have turned into a mini-play area for our young children. I want to turn it into a Beatrix Potter / Brambly Hedge themed space, with little Cottagecore elements. I actually have a sheer hanging canopy that I never used for my daughter’s room, and I could totally hang it in the corner but never would have thought of it, if you hadn’t mentioned it. We have some very old vintage books, little bird statues, some Calico Critters, and my vintage stuffed animal bunnies that I am thinking about putting on the bookshelf for the reading nook. Thank you for these ideas!! A little toddler tea set would be perfect too for the Cottagecore themed “under the stairs” nook. 🥰

You are great at what you do.

This is a great refresher list for me. Crafter note: Afghan, yes. Knit blankets, yes. However, the pictures you showed were crochet. 😊

From what I’ve read the afghan blankets can be knitted or crocheted, so I think it works 🥰🫶

Loved this video! Ascetically pleasing with beautiful ideas. Thank you!

Love this! We’re just setting up house for the first time and we have a very DA/Witchcore vibe. Before your videos, I didn’t really know what our style was called - we just knew that we decided to keep our black crochet Halloween tablecloth out all year and that we loved mixing in my grandmother’s antique furniture lol. I wanted something a little more inviting and cozy for the kitchen and I think cottagecore is what I’ve been looking for! Thanks for the help!

Your videos are fantastic!

I love your videos & how you encourage thrifting & sustainability🖤

My grandparents house would have ticked about 75% of these decor ideas, it was very mid century scandinavian countryhome design inspired :D Loved watching it, maybe I can add a couple of ideas into my house :)

Great ideas …thanks for sharing this with us ❤

Love these tips and this style! Gorgeous!

Love 💗 all your ideas, but there is one thing that I feel you felt out, and that is small porcelain figurines couples dressed in Victorian outfits or other types, like collections of small hunting dogs. Anyway you have a great personality very good taste and I’m sure you’re going to do very well. You should show your home and the way you have it decorated. Best of luck .

oh also, how did that dark academia book you were writing go? Cuz if you publish it I will be the first one to buy it, I swear.

@@justlanchen My book that I'm writing, I thought up something for it, and it's like it's a reboot! I think I found the key. And for the middle of your book, maybe try and put in some plot twists, maybe a betrayal? Does your book have any murders or people missing? Stuff that you could make clues about?

You mentioned people criticizing how you say curtains in subsequent videos. I say it the same way and I’m from North Dakota. The t doesn’t need to be so pronounced. Just be you. 🤣❤️

The “knitted” blankets you showed are both crochet. The first is a granny square, the second a chevron.

Does anyone feel obligated to call out the fact those blankets are crocheted? No offense but as a crocheter it makes me feel like I need to call it out, lol. Love this vid tho!

You didn't invent the aesthetic! You just named it....poorly frankly. It was called Shabby Chic in the 90s. It was called Cottage before that. Simple English country. If you have to Google lens these items....doilies, afghans......oh just stop.
