Fairy Cottage Renovation and Decoration

Fairy Cottage Renovation and Decoration
Hi! My name is Johanna. Welcome to my channel and my dream home! In this video I will share with you the process of bringing back to life an abandoned place and house that belong to my family, renovating the stove and a room of my new home, decorating it and transforming it in a cottage fit for a fairy.
This channel is about house restoring and decorating, gardening, cooking and growing one's food, rural life or countryside life in a small village, crafting useful and beautiful things that make life in the countryside easier and more enjoyable. Join me on my everyday life adventures as countryside life besides being peaceful and beautiful, can be a real challenge sometimes!
If you've enjoyed watching the first video I've uploaded here, please do subscribe and share it with a dear friend. A big thank you to all of you that will help my new channel reach more people! Happy Holidays to all of you!

    Beautiful area! I wanted to live in a place like that, but war old, so I chose the next best thing. I live in the middle of a small town, with mostly lawns, but a few days after I moved here I asked city hall for permission to turn my yard into a wildlife habitat. 17 years later, it's a farm in the middle of town, with lots of trees, fruits and small criatures. I am 75, now renovating my house and separate cottage/art studio. Great ideas for my cottage!

Last year I finally got a drill press.. I have been wishing for a planner for the longest time but goodness $$$. My husband seems to like my tools as well 🤨.. I suppose I shouldn't be so stingy lol. Then came you're pretty feminine touches . They were just so sweet and beautiful. Isn't it just amazing ideas and imagination is/are? You could take a thousand people and each will have a million ideas and everyone will be different. Amazing ideas never run out. But yours sit aside and out front. I thoroughly appreciate each and every idea that you shared. I'm glad that I waited till I could sit down with my wine and watch. Thank you for sharing.

    So glad the video helped! Thank you very much for your kind words! Hope you will have the garden you dream of one day. I am working at making my garden more beautiful, and will show the process in my future videos. I once traveled and lived for some months in a big, modern city. I lived in the middle of the city, in a place that resembled a huge beautiful garden. I never felt I was in a city while I was there. A beautiful garden brings peace to the soul, like a walk in the forest. Wish you and your family all the best!

    I don't know what's more impressive ...perhaps it's the level of skill when Johanna puts together the oven / stove , how she knows to do such things ... I knew it was really going up a notch when she walks into the workshop and suddenly you see an amazing array of tools and equipment. I'm watching that moment and thinking " Wow!" She really knows so much ....and this series of videos is going to be quite something !

    Johanna I am lost for words. What a huge task you have taken upon yourself, single handedly. Truly a joy watching you give a new lease of life to the abandoned house. The assurance with which you handle the power tools, heavy duty equipment and do all the woodwork with such precision..I just cannot believe it. . Truly you are a remarkable lady. And to stay alone in the wilderness with no neighbours in sight. Terrific courage, determination, patience and sheer hard work. Awe inspiring Johanna. I have yet to see the rest of this beautiful video. I want to savour each beautiful moment as the house slowly becomes a stunningly beautiful home. Thank you

    Thank you very much for your kind words, Sarah! They brought much joy to my heart. I have neighbours - I won't film their houses (as I respect their privacy). The hills are just behind the house, but it's not an isolated house. If it would be very isolated, it would be dangerous, as I have friends who had an isolated cabin that was damaged/broken a few times while they were away, traveling. They eventually had to sell the place and buy a house in a remote village, with neighbours around. Hope you will enjoy the videos on this channel! Wish you and your family all the best!

    @@JohannasDreamHome Thank you Johanna for your beautiful video, and for sharing important details ,such as the comforting presence of neighbours near your cottage. I had seen only half the video earlier. . By then, kitchen duties awaited me, and I thought it was best to finish my chores. and make sure that none of my family members would interrupt me , in the time which I had made expressly for myself, for the pleasure of watching you do up your home with so much love. Bit by painstaking bit, it proudly came up. ...., the windows treated to a kind of distressed effect kind of paint work, charming iron braces(for want of an appropriate word) forming corner frames for each window, wrought iron supports for shelves , curtain rods from which billowed delicate curtains., your pretty collection of antique copper and pewter pots and pans hung from hand made hooks ( you even. have an anvil. Did you apprentice under an iron smith??!) ...how much effort has gone into the many precious details that transformed an empty shell to a very welcoming home. Out came the beautiful blue and white plates, a pretty cutting board, plants on the window sill, the blaze from the wood burning stove spreading warmth and cheer. Johanna ,you have done a splendid job. I truly enjoyed watching your video and for sure I will share it with my friends. Thank you for the immense happiness it gave me. Before I sign off ,has the sweet kitty moved in with you. I hope so. Much love to you for this delightful vlog. ..

What talent, what extraordinary skills I discover that you have, from one video to another ... How much peace, harmony and joy I felt ... and what a combination of colors, shapes, sounds, music, the sound of rain, the sound of the clock in that warm, welcoming space ... The filming is fantastic, of an absolute quality and clarity! Everything is made and filmed with the soul, with an open heart, it feels! Wonderful! You look so good with that hat, but also with that shawl! Thank you for welcoming us into your dream home!
