Some details that I forgot to mention: we have this house thanks to the kindness of Luke’s parents, he and his father worked in construction for a long while and they renovated this barn on their property before selling it to us at a price we could afford. Otherwise, it would be nearly impossible to buy a new home in this area, so we are feeling so grateful each day we can even exist here ❤ most of the items in the home are thrifted, gifted, re-done, with some new items that I couldn’t find anywhere else. I also had quite a few pieces I saved from my childhood bedroom because I’ve always like vintage-style furniture. We like to be thrifty and sustainable when possible, and it goes to show you with a coat of paint and patience a lot of things can look brand new! I hope you enjoy 😊 *since I’m now living with my husband, we are combining our lives, hence we have certain furniture items we wouldn’t have had before. He loves watching movies, and I love painting, so we’re working on getting a little painting room set up. We’ve found ways to compromise and work together. It’s been a fun trip!

Thank you for the tour. I love all the flowers you bring into your space. Cozy. Also, I like this slightly different style of presentation you shared today. Your kitchen is perfect and flows nicely with the rest of the space. I live in an antique home and also have modern appliances. I agree, they are more practical.

Those bookshelves are truly a spectacular gift of love. And a work of artful craftsmanship. Well done, Luke!

She is an absolute angel! Thank you for showing your cottage life to us. It's very peaceful and such an inspiration. I hope you live a happy life! We love you!

Dearest Paola, you don't need advice on how to decorate a home. Your home already is absolutely stunning and just RADIATES love, kindness, gentleness, it is romantic and cheery. Your style of decorating, butterfly's especially is simply beautiful, it gives off those safe, feel good vibes. If you want to get more light into the kitchen, clever angling of mirrors can certainly help. I absolutely love how you have decorated the switch plates, so sweet. You have a very beautiful home. ❤

Hubby did a great job filming your lovely home. What a treat this cozy, plant-filled, and personalized home you have.

When you said that you liked to listen to the rain on the porch, I couldn't stop obsessing about how much I would love to see a relaxing video of the rain at your place! If you get the chance, can you please do something like that? Thank you 💐🌹🌺🌸🌷🌻

What a beautiful home, Paola! It's clear a large part of that beauty comes from the love you and Luke radiate. We are grateful for Luke's filming and what a talented craftsman he is! Wow!

WOW, a 23 minute video from Paola! I doubted that I'd ever see that day. Thanks. Also, NO ads or sponsors. What a gift.

I love the beautiful fascinator and the custom bookshelf Luke made for you. He is an artist just like you!

Our kitchen feels really dark in the winter, too, so my mom strings up twinkle lights along the cupboards. It both lightens and decorates the room! I think my best friend gave me the idea...Also, I put little ivy string lights up in my own room for a little "fairy feel" inspired by Paola, of course! It adds light and greenery. 😊

Oh how beautiful your home is. So cozy and lovely. You are so pretty and the sweetest person, love the way you decorated your home. You would be a mother-in-law’s dream. Do your in-laws keep their boundaries? I hope so, don’t think I would like living so close. But if you have a great relationship it will be nice when the baby comes to help out. Do they have any grandchildren? I bet they are so excited. Wishing you many more years of happiness and love.🥰💕

This was a Treat!! I feel like we got to see the true, carefree, in life Paola. Your husband is a talented and kind man. You both won the lottery to have each other! And your Home!! What a BEAUTIFUL, airy, whimsical, cozy, house of perfection. Every nook is comfort. ❤ I feel honored you shared this all with us! Love and hugs from Napa my friend.

The live edge bookshelf is stunning!! 😍💗 Such beautiful craftsmanship, Luke. Lovely job!

Paola, you both have created forest life bliss. I would take this cozy home life of yours any day over manic life in a city. You have a cozy home with artistic and animal life that that soothes a soul.

It's so cozy and sweet. Since you called the coat rack a "monstrosity", you could consider doing a wall rack with 4 hooks. Then you could make a wider shoe rack to fit underneath. Then you are utilizing the horizontal space. The coat rack could then be used for towels in the bathroom.

‘Don’t piss off the fairies’ - I didn’t expect to see that language in your house 🤣 but it’s brilliant! I adore what you’ve done with your space, it’s like waltzing into a fairy tale 🧚‍♀️ and you and Luke are just lovely ❤️ thank you for treating us to your magic! Love Anna from Bath, England 🛁

Paola, You are an ANGEL....The Cottage Angel is what you are!!! This old woman so enjoyed how you were with your husband filming you.

You are an extrodinary creature...so grateful...creative...sensitive. im glad you live in the woods because society today would destroy your gentle nature. Your existence is beautifully simple and refreshing. Thank you for sharing.❤

A real fairy with kind heart lives in a dreamy cottage.❤

Paola your home is a reflection of the amount of love you and Luke have for each other and bring into the world - what a beautiful place. I was so moved watching this...I even looked at my boyfriend who was watching it alongside me, and said "this home is my idea of heaven". You always move me, and your words, art and videos bring me inspiration and peace, but I couldn't believe I was on the verge of crying watching a home tour - that just shows the impact your soul has on this world. It felt like a safe haven.

What a beautiful cosy home for you, Luke and your animals. A very special place, thank you for sharing it. 💜🙏

oh my goodness I haven't watched in a while - great progress. I used to watch when I was with a partner that wasn't very peaceful and nice to me. I remember sitting up in bed and watching your videos or being in the front room (which was my office) and your videos calmed me and gave me a different perspective. I left that partner and my life is peaceful now. Still enjoy the videos.

It is very kind of you to welcome us into your private living space, it's very cozy and homely. You talk of one day having a family, what lucky children they will be to have you as parents and to grow up with such an appreciation of the world around them. Bless you. x

Oh my gosh the bunny & moon window ornament your husband made is ADORABLE and how sweet of him to make that for you! You two are kindred spirits for sure, a lovely match ❤ thank you for showing your quaint home with us ❤

The chair is an 18th century American brace back chair. :) You have a beautiful home and I've adored your channel for the last three years!

I love your house, it’s so cosy and filled with love. It’s lovely when someone decorates their house for themselves and not to try and impress other people with the latest trend. It’s just lovely ❤️

So much love to you and Luke! My heart sings whenever I watch one of your video creations, because we share similar spirit and energy. Please don't apologize for your childlike choices, this childlike adult REVELS in your style and decorating choices. You have literally created Mr. Sanders house in the 100 acre wood and its a delight. ❤🐇

Beautiful cottage. A true artists home. Luke is also very talented. When you showed the beautiful bookcases he made I thought "he could make you a BEAUTIFUL frontdoor❤. Thank you for the tour😊

Thank you for sharing your lovely home. You have such a peaceful, sweet way about you that is so pleasant. Watching and listening to your videos is a reminder that there still is beauty in this very changed world. Thank you.

I really think this is one of my favorite videos. Your home looks so relaxing and cozy and I love that your husband helped you film this. You guys seem so happy ❤

Your home is charming and reflects your love of nature and peace. Luke did a fine job of filming. Your love for each other is obvious.

Beautiful cottage and lovely renovation

Thank you so much for sharing your lovely home! It's everything a magical fairy cottage should be, warm loving and nurturing just like you.

I have found adding small table lamps on my kitchen counters have added so much warmth and coziness as well as a lot of light in the winter!!

Such a beautiful home in the woods. You and Luke have created a cozy space to share your love and joy!

Oh!! And if Luke ever again wanted to make another magical twisted moon and whimsey hanger, I'd pay well for one! It's truly breathtaking ❤❤❤

What a lovely little fairy-home you've created. THANK YOU for taking time each week to create your lovely pieces of art. 💞

Beautiful and peaceful home! Many more blessings!❤💐🐱🐇🐥🦋

Luke seems like a gentle soul and a perfect fit for you. Glad you found a partner that can share in your fairyland/cottage life 🥰

Thank you Luke and Paola for this video 🥹♥️

Thanks Paola for showing us your gorgeous home. 🇮🇪🇮🇪🍀🍀😺😺💚💚🇮🇪🇮🇪

I wake up every weekend and look forward to your new video. Thank you Paola, for these beautiful weekend retreats!

Beautiful home! It is bigger then I thought. Isn't it nice that you and Luke are working on making your home with both of your art. You are both so talented! Beautiful home, beautiful family!

What a beautiful, cozy home. And clearly filled with love. 😊

GOOD TO SEE YOU BEEN A AWHILE.....GLAD YOU ARE WELL AND YOUR HOME IS BEAUTILFUL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My (deceased, RIP ✝️) mom had a lovely home similar to yours. I feel her in this video. Thank you! Inspires me to create a space like this one day…

I really like the moon shaped wire thing that your husband made (in the window)! That is very nice!

The green chair is a Windsor chair. Good show. Thanks.

Every spot in your homey home reflects how dear your are and is a reflection of your love for each other and your precious smile tells us all. Love your vibes and all that you share. Thank you both and love guides you.

What a lovely and peaceful home you’ve made. One idea for a dark kitchen might be a small table lamp in a corner on the counter. It creates a good transition between work space and living space, looks cozy and gives you extra warm toned lighting.

What a beautiful cozy home. I love all of it, but especially the library. Those shelves are gorgeous.

I like how you see beauty in everything.

Your home is lovely and serene. I especially love that you pointed out that homes don't always stay pristine. It's nice to tidy up to show your home or for company etc., but no one should be discouraged if their home is "lived in". Our homes should be enjoyed for their beauty, but also for their comfort. It's just doubly pleasing when you can have both at the same time😊

The library chair I believe is considered a modified Windsor. I love the porch off of your soon to be master bedroom. ❤️😊

So inviting. A very calming place. A lady after my own heart. Nature, art..... I am a single Mom. My kids are grown now, but my house was decorated with a lot of homemade, thrift and a lot of love. You're a very Special Lady. Keep doing what you're doing. ❤️

Thanks for sharing your special, unique home with us Paola and Luke...As other comments have pointed out, Luke is very talented and he and his father have made a sublime, lovely and enchanted abode for you! And I wish I had an updated and crisp, contemporary kitchen like yours! All of Luke's woodwork, especially the bookshelf is perfection!

In our house, my man would've preferred to have the TV displayed 😂. Your little one is gonna have so much fun outside and reading with you🥺

You home is darling, and Luke's work is exquisite. The only bit of decorating advice I have is this: build in to save space when you can. In your dining nook, you might consider building an L-shaped banquette under the corner windows instead of adding chairs (if there's room). It has a smaller foot print than individual chairs do, and you can use the space under the benches for storage. Your home already reflects your taste and talent. As you continue to thrift and create, each year your home will mold a little bit more to suit you and Luke. I've been thrifting and upcycling for thirty years, and the cumulative effect is a house that reflects me perfectly and doesn't look like anyone else's!

Such a wonderfully, beautiful ambience that shouts “home”. 😊

Dear Paola, it looks like your home is one glorious fairytale and you, your husband and your pets are the protagonists.🙂Thank you both for sharing insights into the marvellous place that is your home. Also, it was a true delight to watch your sweet pets, their presence is always very much appreciated. Take care.🙂

I love,love,love this beautiful home and beautiful life!❤😊

Your cottage is so cozy and lovely. What I really love is that you and Luke are both putting your special touches into, combining your talents, and making it a truly unique space that you both can enjoy. The bookshelves are gorgeous as is all of your art work, Paola. Thank you for the tour. I wish you both good health and happiness always. ❤

First of all, Luke did an amazing job being the camera guy, so sweet of him lol. Second, your home is lovely and so you! Which is exactly how one’s home should be, a presentation of them. And third, thanks for showing your home I enjoyed the tour. Maybe could hang fairy lights on the outside deck too if you don’t already

Your little cottage is absolutely adorable! I love the way you decorate. It's so cozy and inviting. 🥰

Mam!!!!! you ate that. I love this home and the colors my gosh my face just couldn't stop smiling. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Paola your home is so lovely! I am so glad that Luke's family was so kind to help you guys get started in life! We are trying to do that with our children too! I have several of your art pieces and every time I look at them I smile, they bring me so much joy! Your channel is such a blessing to me and I think you are a lovely person a kindred spirit for sure! Love Kate❤

I just love your sense of style, the loving way you and Luke speak to one another (so special) and the sense of peace calm you’ve created.

Your home is so beautiful Paola and Luke! Thank you Luke for your awesome camera work! Thank you for opening up your home! 🙏💜🎶🎼🌸🌺🌷🌹

I never normally comment on videos but I really wanted to say you have the most perfect house and style of decorating that ive ever seen. You don't follow trends and are true to your own self which is commendable. Your house really looks like a fairy cottage 🤌🏻✨🥀 P.S- Please do a detailed book collection video because i get so many recommendations from you and also this is a video suggestion for the future but you could make videos about your recent reads and share your thoughts 🌸🤍

Paola, everything in your home is so lovely. Thank you for letting us visit; stay well.

Ciao, Paula, I love your aesthetic and the warm light that infuses this video. My best friend told me about your channel and I'm thrilled to discover it as a fellow bibliophile, artist and passionate decorator. Warmly, Kristin

You have created a beautiful, whimsical fairy cottage in the woods. 🌿🌷🌻🌲How wonderful that you are living your dream with gratitude, both for Luke's parents and the natural environment around you!! You are an example for other people who are resisting the shallow world of consumerism. Well done!!!

I'd love to see ALL of your books of course ! Your home is beautiful, I love it.

i finally got around to watching this video, and it is incredible how talented luke is! the bookshelf and the hanging wire piece just warmed my heart. you two are so precious. thank you for sharing your space with us! i hope to have my home be this enchanting someday. 💓

Absolutely! To even have a roof over our heads is simply a gift 😊

Ahhh it's so nice to see your beautiful home! Thank you for sharing it with us. You've done a wonderful job making it feel cozy and most importantly, it feels like a HOME. ❤

Paola, there is no such thing as too many books. 😂❤ You’re home is beautiful and Luke did a great job as cinematographer!

You are so lovely. What a lucky soul he is - to have your grace and love surrounding his space

This video struck me as Luke sharing his love of you and all you do! He is obviously very proud of you!💕

I love your house, it has this cozy and calm atmosphere. I love this magic mood of your videos, it's such an inspiration for art, poetry and slow living 🌱✨

Absolutely dreamy home! It really shows the love and effort you put in every single corner. Congratulations to both of you!❤

I think making a curved arch for the doorway would be so pretty with a solid wooden door with details would be pretty!! ❤

Fiddleback Windsor chair. An 18th century style that was commonly reproduced in the late1970s/ early 1980s and sold at unfinished furniture stores. It should be relatively easy to find, but expect to need some regluing.

Your home is magical! You and your husband complement each other so beautifully with creativity and warm interaction. Plants and fur-babies give it life as well as art and repurposed items. The life that thrives sparkles. All of this makes your home wonderful. Thank you for the tour!

I love the home that you and Luke have created. It is absolutely beautiful. The special touches added by both of you have made for a serene and beautiful environment. ❤❤❤

This was so precious.... I literally almost cried, especially when you showed the bunnies hopping around your beautiful home.

I love it! Your home is natural, raw, pristine, organized, embracing, and lovely. I particularly like the airy fairy feeling. I love you! And I am happy for you I can also sense the love you have with your husband. I am happy for you, it is a blessing to have a God loving, patient, loving, understanding, talented, hardworking, giving, pleasant, and caring man. I love my husband of 25 years dearly for all those same qualities and so much more. Isn't it a good feeling to be able to be yourself and in a safe space!? 🤲🏾🙏🏽🙌🏽💃🏽😄🥰🌹🌟🌞🙏🏽🤲🏾

Hi Paola! Your house is organised and decorated so creatively! You have taken care about every minute details. Soothing wall colour, your plants , paintings, furnitures all these make your house a real fairy cottage.And you have spreaded some pixie dust with your magic touch..lots of love..❤

A wood house in the woods...Everything is beautiful inside and inspired by nature, nothing to change with the decorations. It is very inspiring and relaxing. Have a good week together. Hello from Paris, France ❤

Sweet couple, sweet home, sweet pets, sweet belongings, SWEET video!!!

I am watching this video to have a moment of peace in light of my doggo's passing, which I am feeling very deeply. I'm trying my best to reorient my mind to look forward at the potential in life and things I can control right now, and realizing how much peace is in my control through your videos is very comforting. Thank you, Paola 💜

THANK YOU for showing us your lovely home! The library is my favorite as well (fellow book lover here). One idea for your kitchen to give you more light would be to add lamps that can sit on the counters. I have a dark kitchen as well, and adding a few lamps really helped to make it much brighter and more welcoming.
