Don’t feel bad or ever apologise for your frustrations and real life. I appreciate watching someone deal with difficulties with grace and then to continue to peruse their goals. That’s commendable and real life. And it mirrors my own life and personal struggles. As much as KZread can be a bit of escapes it’s refreshing and encouraging to see someone real. And it keeps us all hopeful and going too. House project too are a rollercoaster. My hubby is in construction and we are currently renovating a barn and making it our home. It’s up and down and surprises and changes and you name it. And then the cost! So don’t even worry, love. Big hugs! 🖤 the garden is looking beautiful!

I am almost 75 years old. I am so proud of you. I feel like your grandmother. You always try your best and your best is very good. Keep on trying; your home has become so very beautiful with all your "tries". You are beautiful too and you are great in your vintage clothes.

I am 77 I can relate to this too.I Absolutely Love Elise Everything about her. Sending you much Love x❤️

Your little house and garden is so sweet. What a blessing to be able to look outside and see all that wonderful nature blooming. It refreshes one's spirit I'm sure. I'm sure everyone understands that you're not a professional as far as the room reno is concerned. Just go at your own pace and don't feel pressured. Also please be careful climbing up and down and take your time. How lovely to receive such a lovely birthday surprise, enjoy.

Thank you for all your hard work and time to make your videos.. I'm sure I'm not alone in saying it's so nice you share your life and experiences with us...hope you manage to get all your putty work done on wonderful new sky light project its going to look amazing once you added all your special touches 😊.and plant therapy always help with taking your mind off things...have a great weekend..😊

Thank you so much ☺️

I’ve followed your channel for years because you are you, not for what you are doing. Your personality is the draw for me, because you are such an authentic and genuinely sweet person. I don’t tune in to keep a”tally” of your “accomplishments” or pass judgment. I tune in to see a real person, dealing with real life….a friend. I don’t know how you manage to do everything that you do. You are a phenomenal force of nature in your determination! Don’t listen to the “voice in your head”, because for most of us women, our head is not a nice place to be. “Talk” to yourself the way you would talk to someone else. We are often so much kinder and encouraging to everyone but ourselves. You truly are going above and beyond your best! You are so much more than enough! 😁🤗🥰

Your garden sure is a sanctuary!

Hello Elise. I am 60 years old, and when I see everything you are able to accomplish, I'm amazed. It's cliché but true...all good things take time. It's OK to be frustrated. It's part of the process. It took me 60 years to accept this😅❤

Your garden is so absolutely gorgeous!🎉 what a gift!

The whole point about having your own place is making your mark on it. If it takes a few weeks or 2 seasons especially if your doing it by yourself then you will always remember the journey you took to get to the final goal. Never apologise for figuring out what to do next and how to make it happen x

Try calling paint stores to see if any private contractors have left their business cards with them that is how I found a painter last fall to do the outside trim on my fixer upper house good luck 🤞

beautiful white petunias! great choice, but, some advice - the lilac needs to be in the ground in full to part sun. It will get root bound in the pot, very quickly, that might kill it, especially if you leave it over winter. Instead, put the clematis in that spot with a trellis. It will do very well there. Spinach needs a lot of water Basil needs to dry out between watering.

Lilacs cannot go into pots only in the ground because the roots need a lot of room.🐝

A guy at the nursery didn't say another like that. By time I might have to move it, but it doesn't grow massive in a week ☺️ Unfortunately not hehe

What I have been waiting for with excitement has happened.....your garden was reborn. It is one of the most beautiful gardens I have seen. The skylight is looking fantastic, and does bring in much light and design improvement, breaking up the long room.

You are absolutely amazing. But we know its you & only you doing this for us. We are cheering you on & are amazed how much you get accomplished in 1 week. It will be absolutely gorgeous at the end of the project. And guess what ???? We will watch & wait. Have a truly blessed week. 💖🌟

Taping and mudding is a specialized trade. Most people can not do it well and have no idea how much work and expertise it takes. You almost always leave it to a professional. Most people find out the hard way.

My husband tried putting up new wallboard, tape, sanding and painting .... all the seams were visible when he was done. So that's a huge challenge to take on. No one will think less of you if you have to rethink your plans as your time is valuable also!

Here in the states we usually hire a professional for Sheetrock finishing because it is hard to get a good finish. Especially that high up.

As someone who worked on finishing a ceiling ages ago, I know how ambitious a project it is. Way different than doing walls as you know because you are working over your head on the horizontal- which as you know is so tiring. You did a lot without sacrificing your garden and other work. When it isn’t a team of professionals there is a lot of figuring out involved - like scaffolding over ladder, you also do have time to figure out what you want to add - like electricity to open windows with your phone. Luckily the daylight is long. You are definitely not alone on experiencing the bumps of home renovations. Good timing on this project as you may have lost a room for the time being but you have gained the sunny days garden space.

Your garden is so beautiful Elise. You are so blessed. It's magical.

We don’t need a neat bow on projects. I think you should be extremely proud of how much you’ve done to make your home beautiful. The skylights are beautiful & are going to look amazing 🤩. Don’t be deterred. You have got this! 💪

Joint tapes on plasterboards are really difficult to do. My husband, who is a true handy man didn't do it himself when we have renovated our old farmhouse. We hired a specialised company which did it better and faster than anything we could have ever done. So don't feel guilty, it's just a boring job.

My husband is a drywall finisher. It's messy, hard work! I commend Elise for even attempting it. I wish she could let professionals do that part and then she could do the painting herself. Elise is such a hard worker! 😊

That’s what I love about your channel is that you are real with us. You tackled more than I could dream of doing. You always inspire me. And garden breaks are a must. That and thrifting are therapeutic in my opinion. 🥰 I love the gift you were sent. It looked like you got a wall pocket. The piece you thought was a lampshade. I think you hang it up and could put flowers in it. 🌺

You have come so far with everything Elise, your job at your shop, your You Tube channel, your lovely garden and your home, and you have done this all on your own. I think that you are amazing. xxx

Don’t lose hope Elise. You are real and that’s why we watch you and love you. A scaffold will help you greatly. 💪🏻💪🏻

We all have disappointments and challenges. I’m glad you don’t mask or hide yours. So many KZreadrs make it look like their lives are perfect. Fake fronts and false faces. You will get your house the way you want. The challenges make us appreciate the good things that much more. Success.

Elise your garden is looking fabulous. Everyone has their frustrations and we just keep plugging along until we work it all out and get the you know what completed. I’m single and 76, and I know what you’re dealing with. Do what you can, and then as funds are available and you need some help, then go for it. You do not need to apologize for anything my dear, you are doing great! The skylights are super cool and you will be so happy when it’s all completed. Not only do you tackle home projects, you run your own business too. Please know you are appreciated and loved by many of us around this world. Such an inspiration with laughter, style, and so many talents that you take for granted but we see you my friend. Carry on Elise! Let that light of yours shine bright. ❤❤❤❤❤

It's a perfect place to put a hammock and some green plants hanging from the beams

Hi!!!! I enjoy so much seeing your progress, but Elise, I think your contractors can come back and finish the ceiling in just a few hours, you re so very busy, my gosh, amazing determination.Cheers

Hang in there Elise, you are a patient warrior. Everything will be beautifully completed. 🙏🏽💯

Your garden is just so beautiful. It makes me forget all my problems and for a few moments I’m lost in all that beauty. Thank you for sharing.

The flower shop is so beautiful! There is so much beauty there that it's overwhelming! It's an overwhelming enough experience to watch so much beauty! Very beautiful and commending garden and house work! All the best and plenty of success in everything you do! Have an excellent day! 🙂

Thaank you 🥰 And me too

Just a thought Elise, the Clematis you have growing near your house could get up under your eaves and do some damage, they can get rather thick branches. Your garden is just wonderful and full of colour.

Your garden area is an absolute dream❤🥰❤ what a lovely retreat from the house renovations. Take the time you need for the finishing of the walls. So important to get the mud work smooth before the painting, a practice in patience, perseverance and in the end beautiful results. And if you get someone to finish the job - you will appreciate their work all the more.

Elise the garden looks so beautiful! I'm glad you will be hiring out for help with the skylight project. It's a lot of work for one person. I was afraid you might fall off that ladder! I know it will be amazing once it's all done. You have so much to do already. It's also great to see you trying to do things that are more cost effective. You are such an inspiration. 💕

Home projects are usually not "fast" your doing fine. Idea that may help is to get a good solid board to lay across those wood "beams", that way u can put your buckets/tools on it so your not balancing everything on edges or your pockets. It takes time. Thanks for your video. Have a lovely week. :D

Can hardly believe all you do! Do you even realize how inspiring you are? Beautiful , talented lady! ❤

Love seeing the gifts you get, you deserve every single one!!! If I could afford to send you some I would as well ❤🙂

You are a absolutely stunning young woman. I love all your videos, they make me feel calm and happy. Thank you.

Is that gift a lampshade? It looks like a container to hang on a wall and put plants or flowers in. Maybe on that beautiful wall you create d outside?

Your skylights are wonderful already... they have transformed your room

I thought what a brave choice to do all the taping yourself! The higher spots especially. Please get the carpenters to do it and be done with it so you can enjoy your new space. 💓

You and I have very similar garden tastes - green and white and plenty of it LOL You were so lit up with those floral baskets! I admire both your guts to think you could do the putty and your grace in giving it over to someone else, but I also love that it's just you doing what you can on your own. You might not hahaha but it just feels more relatable. Other channels with their on-hand team and sponsorships don't make these projects feel accessible to me. You're inspiring me for when i renovate my father's house next year. 💝✨

Hello Elise, great video, your hard work will pay off your reward the satisfaction of getting on with the job all your ideas coming together, lovely parcel of gifts too, it's great to see your garden coming together also . I quite often spend hours in my gardens and without a break always a surprise to realise 4/5 hours passing so quickly , no hardship all to the good and very beneficial. Looking forward to seeing the outcome of your hard work and patience. Hugs and Blessings to you Elise. 💚🌹

Do you know that you can wet sand? You use a wet to damp sponge, dunking and rinsing it out in water- I would use a small easy to hold bucket. Use the sponge like you would sandpaper. I learned this while working for a contractor years ago rehabbing a Victorian house in the Catskills. It works like a charm and cuts down on the dust. Bit easier on your arms and much easier on your lungs.

Elise, it's YOUR home, YOUR time, YOUR life. Keep living it your way. If it takes you a year to do that skylight (safely) and you are happy with that, then so be it. If you feel you need to get help, then that's also ok, you do a whole lot more than some of us behind our phone screens. Girl its taken me 3 years to reno my kitchen to my standards and liking. It may not be 100 percent perfect but I am happy and have saved soooo much money😀

Every video of yours has good content! Whatever you are doing in life, that is what we like to see. We all love you!

Scaffolding will make your life soooooooooooo much easier and safer. Real life happens, luvie. It's all good. You're doing marvelously.

Please don't apologize for being honest. You have gotten much farther than I could have done. I was so impressed by all that you managed to do on your own!

Elise you are doing a great job. Taping & mudding is hard work especially working in high places. It's a job I don't love. Your garden is so beautiful! What a sanctuary to relax in. 💗🥀

You are so sweet, love your gardening. you so love plants and flowers as I do. Your clothes you wonderful on you, the last outfit was gorgeous.

Looks great….it’s not an easy job and the new skylight nook is very high ! Be careful and bravo

Hay honey, I’m a decorator & it can take about 4/5 days (8hrs a day) on a room & plus your working as well, just take your time & enjoy the process you’ll get there, just not as fast as you want it too 🥰❤️❤️❤️

Hi Elise!! Just seeing all of those plants just made me want to rush out & get a bunch of my own!! Your garden is truly spectacular!! Please don't apologize for your challenges that you encounter!! You are only human as we all are!! Granted you are a rock star girl boss 💪😊 & so gifted in whatever you do!! You always make me smile & inspire me!! Take care sweet girl 🌷🌻💐

Elise your skylight looks fantastic. Good eye.( good choice). Can't wait to see the result.

You take on crazy jobs the rest of us wouldn't even attempt. Brava! The sky lights are making a huge difference in your livingroom feel. Don't worry you'll get this.

Smart girl leaving it to the professionals. It can wait till summer is over if need be and you can save up for the drywallers. Who wants to be inside in the summer anyway.

Don’t feel bad if you end up having to get someone in to finish off the project! You are right, you are just one person and you are doing an amazing job with your home and business. No one expects you to do it all, except maybe yourself

Sunflowers do a lot better when you direct sow them! They get bigger and are a lot more stable. Try putting a few in the ground outside when it’s hot enough. ❤️

The glass vase with the stopper is called a vinegar cruet. I have a collection from my grandmother. They come in all shapes and sizes. Some are etched and some have a lavender hue. I love them.

You can cut some of the leaves on your spinach plant, and it will regrow new leaves. I have one too, and I can't wait to try it. It's called cut and come again. Enjoy!

Renting scaffold for skylight access makes a lot of sense. You'll be confident enough to paint that way. Seems a waste to pay someone to paint (the easy stage) when you've done all the hard work of preparation. If electrifying the skylights isn't possible, or affordable right now, the old way was to use a long pole with a hook. It would stand out of the way in your utility room. The metal pot you called a lampshade is meant to go on the wall for plants or utensils. ;)

Your flowers are so beautiful and the White Petunias are so gorgeous.❤ please be careful with your home project.Hope you have a wonderful weekend 🤗

I am yet to meet someone more productive at your age. Take you time, and don't feel guilty. Life is to be enjoyed while you are getting shit done!

The light is amazing from your new ceiling windows! Your hard work shows!

No hurries no worries. Always love to watch.❤

Hi Elise, Here in the USA, Home Depot or any other home improvement store has scaffolding to rent. If they have equipment in Denmark to rent, you can do so, and it will be so much easier. You can also purchase it if you know you or your family will use it. You will have to have a place to store afterward. That way, you can do everything yourself and not pay anyone to do it for you unless you want to.

Hi. Elsie. i like what you are touching on in your house. most highly i am loving the beautiful outdoor, garden. well made and done, you are Blessed Elsie...You remind Me, of YOU...Take Care of YOU, See You In Your Next Video...CHEERS.

the skylights are great ! I can't wait to see the room come together.. Don't worry about how long it takes.. it gives you time to read the room and play out some ideas.. might just put a story board together.. or bring some colors in the room....or textiles..or plants... beautiful objects .. or even some of your artwork :). or framed. pieces.lay it around while you work...see them at different time of the day .. Just play!!

I get the feeling that you’ve already got the wheels turning about how the skylight job will get finished! I’m going to do some planting in my biggest little garden this weekend, can’t wait to get to the garden center! Thank you for a lovely start to my weekend! 🌼🌺🌻

The light in your dining area is so beautiful now. When it comes together it's going to be such a lovely warm bright space to spend time in. ❤
