“Real isn't how you are made,' said the Skin Horse. 'It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real.'

'Does it hurt?' asked the Rabbit.

'Sometimes,' said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. 'When you are Real you don't mind being hurt.'

'Does it happen all at once, like being wound up,' he asked, 'or bit by bit?'

'It doesn't happen all at once,' said the Skin Horse. 'You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand.”

― Margery Williams Bianco, The Velveteen Rabbit

Your bring your horse right

That bit with the secret passage to your stables was brilliant , proper magical American Christmas film vibes , really made me smile , keep doing what you’re doing it’s a breath of fresh air 😊😊

Renovate what? It’s perfect.

I feel your pain. We bought our home 3 yrs ago and still remodeling ugh! The kitchen and 3 baths, laundry done but flooring painting, doors and all the molding still to do as well as master, master closet and one of guests bedrooms. We had to put in a second hot water heater, hard water house filter, all new windows and doors, a new furnace and heat pump all things we didn’t know we needed to do. We have run out of money and still need a new roof, garage door and paint exterior. We should have built a house, it would have been cheaper. I do love your lit soap area and bottles. Very clever and it looks so pretty. We put a light above the bath tub and above the shower in our full baths. So there is great lighting.

So wonderful your parents help you. You'll get a beautiful home.

I liked the colour already! With cream walls, Dont like gray, but I added tiny bit of black to brilliant white x it looks lovely with brillint white chinease bedroom I made with thin Black around panaled walls❤ y

Well I exoect the pairs already been decided by now, but I saw the red I. Another home, and it looked good, and will go better with the dinning room chairs.

The window behind with pointed top is nice, wood with acid is better colour x better detail of wood!.

You need to get the Sarah J Mass A Court of Silver fames to help finish your ACTOR. But also her Thorne of Glass series is my favourite. Love the Forth Wing series too

I think I'm rewatching this series for the third time now bc I love it so much. I just moved out and even when there's not anything rly to renovate, there's still so much stuff to do and these videos give me so much peace and cosyness. Thank you so much ❤ I would love to see more!

❤First time watcher, you are such an inspiration, and I love renovation projects. This is the first video I have seen of yours and I am so enjoying it, I have subscribed and will be watching all your videos.

I love the plaid reading chair in your Girls Den just the way it is! It goes very well with the navy shelves and walls.

When I am older I am going to get a cottage and renovation it to x

Donate all the paperback books you've already read or books that you are not going to read. Find some VINTAGE hardback books and load up the shelves. They will fit the old home cottage vibe you are trying to achieve better! I like books from 1940's and 1950's and of course I read them as well.

I love your vlogs Katie ❤

my God, you're stunning 😮

I lived in a 1920’s home and you’re right…all the wonky corners and plaster walls give it character (and a few headaches😒)

Please can you link the sage green colour? It’s beautiful! I have been looking for a warmer green for… forever! Xx

First time seeing your channel and I watched your whole video, although I did take multiple breaks. I think you're a doll and I love that you took on this project of renovating this beautiful cottage. Yes to getting some large area rugs even ones for over the carpeted areas. It will help the carpet last longer. It will also add interest, texture, and warmth. You can use sticky tape/carpet tape and place runners down the carpeted stairs to keep it clean and keep the carpet from wearing out. An area rug under the bed so it comes out on both sides and bottom will ground the bed. Just some ideas. I subscribed and 👍. I look forward to watching more of your videos. Thanks for sharing. Have a beautiful blessed night. 🙏 From Melissa in the mountains of Virginia, USA. ❤ 🇺🇸

I watched the entire 3 hour, 51 minutes and 59 seconds. I enjoyed all of it. I am so glad I stumbled across this video recently. I am looking forward to following you. Your cottage is so pretty. Thanks for sharing.❤

Use a paint brush to dust your cabinets.

Where’s the derelict cottage?

You like paw patrol

Your bedside table look great. As far as I know plants in a bedroom is a healthy option and can increase the oxygen level.

The cupboards in the snugg would look nice dark leaf green 😊
