I apologise for the negative comment on Royal Match. If I had any way to tell the company that makes the game, or the ads how annoying the ads are I would not be commenting here. I get ads from Royal Match urging me to download it like 4 or 5 times a day, and the scenarios seem quite violent to me. Also, if they they have no ads, then they must be making their money with in game purchases. I live on a fixed income and the budget is extremely tight. I just have a very low tolerance for games where I'm supposed to rescue someone.

Anything historical could legitimately be placed into a modern house. Having 20th century as your most recent allows a medieval chest to sit comfortably next to a Victorian armchair. A local artist and set designer, Derek Hill said, "Put together what pleases you. The consistency of your own taste will make it work." Glebe House in Donegal, Ireland, is testament to that.

When Morgan goes Meta, she goes hard. It's so fun when you do stuff like this and your Choose your own Adventure video. Very excited to see a colorful, historical look into Morgan's headspace.

I absolutely adored the "watch with me" vibe of this video. I actually said "aww, thank you Morgan!" out loud when you brought me a soda water. I'm traveling for work this week, which is always a pretty lonely experience, and this was just what I needed. I'm all in favor of mix-matching your time periods. Time traveler's cottage, indeed! It's going to be so cozy when it's finished. First your sewing room, now your cottage--you're living the dream!

The moment where you broke the fourth wall during the sponsorship and then talked to us like we were actually there with you watching and getting us a soda water was genius, I've seen fourth wall breaks in KZread videos before but never one that felt so warm and welcoming

Back in the 1970s my then-husband and I built a couple of cabins. First in Wyoming, the second on the edge of the forest in rural Montana. Like many others then, we were part of the counter culture back to the land movement. Also raising goats and chickens along with our young son. Organic garden, making bread in wood fired stove, etc. I love watching your process, and doing it in a hands-on, comfortable, manageable way. Only concern I have is this: You have well-fireproofed underneath the stove, but nothing on the adjacent walls, but wood. Yikes! Looks very scary to me. Remember that heat radiates and rises. Never leave that fire alone.

All historical homes with great character were designed by not just one person, but decades of people adding what suited them and that time period. It's what makes the story of that home interesting.

This is such a good video I'm actually floored. I have watched this channel casually for years and every time I come back I'm always like 'damn, I forgot what a banger of a youtube she is'. Congrats on another absolute slapper

A modern bimetallic stove fan will help you heat the whole space. History bounding sounds fun.

Sitting here editing photos from our long-planned trip to Europe and literally looking at stained and painted glass from the York Minster Cathedral when you said "really cool, colorful, vibrant, beautiful things."

I think mixing things from different time periods makes sence. For example 200 years ago they would of course also have older stuff in their homes not just from that era. Mixing styles from different classes could be more tricky. Like having a very exclusive big gold mirror next to a rough pull out sofa. Good luck! Looking forward seeing the journey!

I like the idea of having one or two older fancier pieces and then some newer/simpler rustic items. It works in a sort of treasured heirlooms, either from before your family fell on hardtimes or in particular for Morgan's cabin thing, that you brought with you from Europe when traveling to the new world. The moving to the Americas works particularly well for having light wood (say from clearing the land) furniture that is made with care but not too much in the way of fancy details. I think this bed still works for that pourpose because if you have the rods(which would be light and therefore transportable) it's not unreasonable to use it. Especially in areas with limited long large straight wood(where I am it's not super common)

Yes! No beige! Colourful historical! What a wonderful place this already is, and will certainly become even more so.

This looks great and I’m so excited to see what you do with it 👏👏👏 Edit: AND YES TO MIX AND MATCH HISTORICAL STYLES! In art history I learned about a period around 1900s called Historicism which was a mix of many older styles ❤

Morgan, think about this: anyone living in the 18th century would have possessions passed down from family. So even their environment would have been a mixture of....history. Your cottage is gorgeous! Two enthusiastic thumbs up, Mr. and Mrs. Donner!!!

I think that the fact that you *can* pick and choose the most beautiful parts of every century is absolutely amazing, and maybe, the whole point? I have no doubt, that if our ancestors had the same opportunity to pick and choose they would take whole hearted advantage of it. 🥰🌺

I loved this style of presentation! it made it feel super homey, and comfy to watch it with you like I was watching a TV Drama with my friends

Pro tip for those who are going to put a brand spanking new wood stove into a building. Put it outside for the first fire. This will prevent any possible outgassing from stinking up your space and it's probably going to save your lungs. The space is super cute btw. Super excited for you! :)

Oooohhh the fun noises you're going to hear as that wood drys in place. Pops and pips and snaps as the wood change shape while drying. It's one of the fun things about timber frame buildings.

I love how you and Mr. Donner support each other’s dreams and passion projects to such an extent! #relationshipgoals

I Love the Style you ended up editing this video in!! its nice "watching a video" with you 😂 I'm very excited to see how the vaguely historical barn series goes

Loving the cozy cottage and stove! There’s nothing like a wood burning stove and the modern ones are so much more efficient. If you’ll be using it by yourself, I highly recommend a kindling cracker, because they make chopping kindling so much easier and safer (not that I don’t love swinging an axe towards my feet but 😬). We use ours all the time (even the “manly men” agree it’s a very effective way to make small kindling).

Okay but the acting, editing and production for this video is just too good. I love the 4th wall breaks. Can't wait to see your next videos!

Love this format! It adds so much to the "bringing us along with you" feel of the video.

It’s okay to mix styles. Living in the UK we have cottages from lots of different historic periods, but none of them have stayed exactly as they were built. New owners always ‘modernised’ them. Medieval cottages didn’t have glass in the windows or a chimney, or an iron stove. Tallow candles and smoke helped to create the authentic yellow-brown walls, and the floors were often just earth or stone covered in rushes or straw. You’re not making a museum piece - just have some fun.

Ms. Frizzle's History Sister is an AMAZING vibe! 😂❤ I'm very excited to see how it goes!
