00:00Good morning guys, welcome back to the vlog.

00:27It is about 8am.

00:29Last night was our official first night at the cottage, moved in, feels very clean, worked

00:34really hard on it.

00:35I spent days deep cleaning this place, every home just needs a really good deep cleaning

00:40sometimes.

00:41So we're officially moved in, so we're trying to set some new routines, like a new schedule,

00:47trying to figure it out.

00:48My mom is going to be watching the baby all day today, been thinking about like, okay

00:53well what's a realistic weekly schedule, like what days will my mom take care of the baby,

00:59what days will be full days, what days will be half days, what days will I keep the baby

01:03and like, you know, just have like a computer or off day.

01:06Doing projects like this, my body obviously needs rest too, I'm not going to want to spend

01:10every day of every week away from Kate, like that's just, that's just not realistic from

01:16my brain to process.

01:17So since we're just kind of getting in the swing of things, I think today is a full day.

01:21I'm going to take the baby over to my mom's at 10 and so she'll watch him from 10 to 6

01:25and then we'll have a hard stop time at 6 with whatever projects I'm working on and

01:29go pick him up.

01:30So I'm hoping that I can get a lot accomplished, that's like an 8 hour day, that's like a real

01:35work day.

01:36I have some things that I need to film this morning and then I want to dive into the bathroom

01:40project and kind of assess what I'm doing.

01:43I know some of the things that I've gotten and gathered, like tile and faucets and things,

01:49and obviously I know the vanity and the flooring and stuff because it's already there.

01:53What was my plan?

01:54What was my inspiration?

01:55Did I really have that deep of inspiration into it?

01:59I think I designed more of this bathroom, the guest bathroom, so I had more of the details

02:04and more of the design direction of this one because it was one I was going to immediately

02:08tackle but I don't think I dived too deep into that and I think if I'm remembering correctly,

02:14a lot of my design elements for that other bathroom are very like foundational and neutral

02:20and has like a warm gray tone to it and I need to bring the cottage vibe to it.

02:27You know like that's great to start, that's like a good foundation because it's kind of

02:30classic but like okay, what am I going to add to it?

02:34How am I going to bring in the character?

02:35I need patterns and a little bit of color and like in here I did like the rich chocolate

02:41brown.

02:42Like still keeping it kind of neutral but it had a lot of character, like all of this

02:45penny tile and it added a lot of texture and did a pattern.

02:49I need those types of elements to really bring the bathroom to life so I need to pull

02:53everything out.

02:54See the tile with the flooring, with the granite and pull everything together.

02:59Make sure that I'm making the space special but also having it tie into the other spaces

03:03in the house.

03:04We're eating some breakfast so we're fueled.

03:06We went grocery shopping last night before we moved everything in here so we have what

03:10we need.

03:11I think we're fully set up now to just like dive into projects.

03:19We're ready to go.

03:43Okay, the baby is with me.

03:46I'm not used to it you guys.

03:47I'm not...

03:48It's weird.

03:49It's weird.

03:50Gotta make the most of today.

03:52So we're hitting the ground running even though the weather is awful.

03:57It's so misty.

03:58I worked on a schedule for my mom kind of based on like how it went this morning.

04:05So he's on a pretty good schedule for like eating and naps and stuff.

04:09So let's see if he sticks to it.

04:11He kind of rules his own life.

04:13Okay, ate breakfast, cried a little bit.

04:20I'm like not doing good away from Cade.

04:22I think just as much as they say that like babies don't know they're a separate person

04:27until they're like seven months old or something and he just turned eight months, I don't even

04:32think that I as a mom know that I'm a separate person and I still don't.

04:38Like, it's hard.

04:41It's hard.

04:42Anyways, had a little bit of a cry, shook it off.

04:45We have to get things done.

04:46Kinsley wants the top to his bottle.

04:49No, it's not for you.

04:52No more.

04:53I filmed a pretty kind of B-roll shots of the cottage after I cleaned it the day before

04:57yesterday, but now I need to film the actual tour.

05:00So that's why I'm dressed like this.

05:01We're going to do the tour.

05:02I'm going to talk through like everything.

05:03You would have seen this on Sunday.

05:05So if you haven't seen it, I'll leave it linked for you.

05:07I'm going through every room, what has been done, what hasn't been done, what we still

05:11need to do, how it's transformed.

05:21He stood outside because he said he was going to make noise.

05:23I'm like, you can't make noise.

05:24He's like crumbling like a snack.

05:26So I'm filming the tour right now so that I can start working on that edit so you guys

05:29can actually see it.

05:31And then I'm going to change and work on the bathroom things and stuff, but I want to get

05:35this done first.

05:36And gosh, it looks so pretty.

05:39It's hazy out.

05:40It's casting like a nice kind of like soft light inside.

05:43And I think it's going to be pretty.

05:44I also optimize the cottage for perfect temperature of lights to film.

05:48Like I thought about every detail, so it, it always gets really, really good light.

05:53All of this stuff is just going to be in the video because I don't want to move all of

05:56it.

05:57We have it like there and it's ready to be organized.

05:59Romeo's going to work on it today.

06:00So it's like, I'm not going to move it.

06:01It's just going to be part of living in the cottage.

06:06Okay.

06:07I finished filming what I needed.

06:11This was not a like heavy filming video.

06:15This is a very heavy editing video since I'm doing a tour of the cottage and like what

06:19has been done, what still needs to be done kind of thing and need a lot of reference

06:23footage.

06:24It's always like, like hours more editing than than normal.

06:27It's usually like the opposite.

06:29You know, a lot of work goes into the project, like weeks, days and weeks go into the project,

06:35but you only see 20 minutes.

06:36Now it's like the reverse.

06:37It's, it's a lot more editing.

06:39I think it's so important to do kind of like a recap, like let's revisit what we've done

06:45kind of video because it's been so long and one, I need it too.

06:48Like I need a real refresher on what, what was I doing here?

06:51So we all need like a re, a nice little recaps before I dive into the bathroom.

06:57So I'm making myself a sandwich, texted my mom, see how the baby's doing because I'm

07:03crazy.

07:04I've been texting, I've texted her a couple of times while I eat, I'm going to work on

07:08organizing the footage since it's going to take me a few days to get through the edit.

07:12I want to get started on organizing all the footage and stuff and take advantage of the

07:15time when I'm not distracted kind of.

07:19So I'm going to edit for like, maybe like two hours.

07:37Okay, we have so many different little pockets of projects happening.

07:43I am trying to figure out the bathroom right now, the primary bathroom, Romeo's kind of

07:49working on all of the pop-up shop stuff.

07:52This was going to be a very long process.

07:54I have so much more here than I did in LA that I was able to bring back.

08:00We have a lot to assess, so don't expect that anytime soon.

08:03We're going to chip away at it, but our main goal with being here is to start working on

08:07projects at the cottage.

08:08So that will come in time and you guys will be the first to know.

08:11I'll let you know in advance this, I'll give it like a date to it.

08:15It won't be live when you're watching the video or something.

08:17I don't know, I'll figure out a way to kind of like, let you guys know when it's coming.

08:21He's working on it.

08:22There's lots of goodies, lots of like really beautiful dish sets and stuff that I've been

08:28kind of collecting.

08:29So he's in here working on this.

08:31Baby is with my mom for the next four hours.

08:34I have got to figure out this bathroom.

08:37It's the project I want to start first and that is this.

08:41It's the biggest project and it has the most little projects in it.

08:46And I've only done the floors and they're not even finished.

08:49I've laid the herringbone tile, but I need to grout it.

08:52So it's almost there.

08:53The hard part of the floor project is completed.

08:57I just have to go through, clean it all up, grout it and get it like, you know, finished.

09:02Tons of little projects.

09:04So I've been kind of like standing in here for the past 40 minutes and I'm just like,

09:09what was I going to do in here?

09:13What was the design direction?

09:15So I've been pulling out all of the materials that I have.

09:18Like I've collected tile, I've got it all.

09:22Like I have the materials to do this room.

09:25I mean, we've even found the vanity and it's not finished.

09:28Please don't look at it green.

09:29It's just green how I found it.

09:33And we've already got the stone on the vanity and the sinks in, but we need to, you know,

09:38redo it and make it, make it right.

09:40So that's a DIY project.

09:41We've got tiling, we've got the shower, we've got trim, we've got crown molding, baseboards,

09:46the cloth foot tub, the linen closet, doors and door frames, like a ton, a ton, a ton.

09:54It's going to take me weeks.

09:55So it's going to be episodes over on my main channel and you're going to see the behind

09:59the scenes here.

10:00I'm standing in this bathroom trying to figure out what was my goal?

10:05What was my plan?

10:06I'm remembering for sure now, we do have to find a few things like decoration wise, like

10:12I need a one big mirror or two smaller mirrors and I do have lights for each side, but I

10:19don't like them.

10:20I remember they're new and I don't love them.

10:24I think that they could be better.

10:26I think that I could find something vintage and better.

10:29So we're going to be on the hunt for that.

10:30I know I have a chandelier for this space for over the tub, but like, where is it?

10:35Well, where is it?

10:36I just haven't gone and looked.

10:37I think it's back there in my shed.

10:40So real talk for a second, before I settled on, I was going to tackle the bathroom.

10:48I was feeling very overwhelmed by this cottage.

10:51The same feeling I felt when we decided to buy it and tackle it for the first time.

10:57This happens to me sometimes when I look at the project too much as a whole, all I

11:03can see is all the work that needs to go into it and I feel overwhelmed by it all.

11:09And I have to remember that I can't think about it like that.

11:12I have to be like, okay, it's good to walk through a project and make a list.

11:15And that's what I did when I first got here.

11:16So I had this massive list, but it was like an overwhelming, massive list.

11:19And so I'm like, okay, but like, where do I start?

11:22Like what do I do first?

11:24Like what do I have?

11:25I was feeling so overwhelmed and started looking at the projects like room by room and it started

11:32to get a little better.

11:33And then I was like, okay, let me just focus on one space.

11:37What's the most, what's the biggest space that I need to tackle?

11:40And that was this bathroom.

11:41And when I started making a list of just the projects in this space, I felt better.

11:46I was like, okay, that I can wrap my head around.

11:50That is a lot, but it's not to a point where it's like completely overwhelming.

11:54I think I can be on board with this.

11:55I think I got this kind of thing.

11:57I haven't felt good about a place to start yet.

11:59And that was the first time I was feeling better about it.

12:02So I made a list of all the things just in this space that need to happen.

12:06And I broke it out in sections so that I could kind of like wrap my head around it.

12:10So my goal first and foremost is to clean it out, finish the flooring and work on the

12:15doors.

12:24I miss Kinsley so much.

12:30That a week is not the longest I've been away from her, but that was like when we were traveling

12:36or vacation or something like out of the country.

12:38So it, you know, kind of, I was, my brain was preoccupied, but just being here at the

12:43cottage without her following me around was so bizarre.

12:47She's here now.

12:49I was trying to remember, I'm like, why did I prioritize laying the floor in this room

12:56at that time?

12:57I'm like, I wasn't doing this makeover.

12:59I hadn't had plans to come back here and do this bathroom.

13:03I was still working in the front of the house and I was cleaning, as I was cleaning, I remembered

13:08that I had to have the granite put on this vanity.

13:11So I was like, I got to do the floor because if they put that granite in here, I don't

13:18know how I'm going to be able to like move the cabinet and do that stuff.

13:24So I was like, okay, I've got to, I've got to prioritize this floor.

13:28I get, I think that that's why, but now I kind of want to move this vanity out.

13:32Like I want to cut it.

13:33They put the backsplash up, but I can just like, you know, cut, slice that and put some

13:38new silicone and actually move this cabinet out to finish the floors and to refinish this

13:42cabinet.

13:43Ideally, I'd like to do it without it in this room.

13:47It's going to be kind of hard to get underneath there to grout this floor.

13:50So I'm going to assess that in a minute, but I was like, why did I do this?

13:53Like why, why was I doing this floor?

13:55It was a lot of work too, for me to just be like, okay, I'm done.

13:58That's enough.

13:59I would have, should have grouted it too.

14:00Why didn't I grout it?

14:01I ran out of time.

14:02Maybe they were coming with the stone and I needed it.

14:04I don't know.

14:05So they did the whole house with a stone at the same time.

14:08So they did both bathrooms and the kitchen.

14:35Okay, I think it's finally time that I can start the video and start the intro into this

14:56makeover video.

14:57I haven't gathered all of my thoughts about the makeover as a whole, but you know, you

15:02got to start somewhere.

15:03That's what I'm going to do.

15:04This is a good angle.

15:07Hi guys.

15:08Welcome back to the cottage.

15:09Hi guys.

15:10Welcome back to my channel.

15:11And welcome back to the cottage.

15:12We are standing in the primary bathroom.

15:13Okay.

15:14I've been filming in here for a little bit, kind of like walking the space and like setting

15:30up.

15:31I don't know if I'm going to be able to do like any like whole transitions that I want

15:34to do.

15:35Like now's the time to do it because otherwise I won't get the before footage.

15:39So I'm still thinking about those, but I could always film those tomorrow because I'm not

15:43drastically changing the space yet.

15:45I need to figure out the doors because I want, Romeo's going to help me kind of like perfect

15:50them a little bit because we're painting them.

15:52So it's not like we have to strip any, any stain off or anything or paint.

15:57It's so cold today.

16:00It's supposed to warm up tomorrow and then get like super cold.

16:03Like snowing low is like 24 degrees or something like that.

16:08I have doors here behind my ladders.

16:12I used to have a marked on the side so that I knew which ones were which guest closet

16:19main bathroom.

16:20That's the front.

16:21The first door.

16:22Yay.

16:23Main bathroom.

16:24Main bathroom.

16:25Okay.

16:31I must've organized these.

16:33I must've done myself a huge favor.

16:37Pantry.

16:39Coffee pantry is here too.

16:41I need the closet.

16:51This is the little living closet door.

16:53Yeah.

16:54I built all the openings for each of the doors.

16:56Isn't she cute?

16:57I found this one at a flea market,

16:59cause it's small.

17:00I needed a small door.

17:01Found this one at the Fredericksburg flea.

17:03You gotta replace all the windows in it.

17:05Not all, just the one that's...

17:07Well, we'll see.

17:08We gotta clean it up.

17:09I thought this one was so sweet.

17:11I loved that it would be glass.

17:13I wanted to be able to see inside this closet.

17:15So it was gonna be like really well organized

17:18with all of the towels and, you know,

17:20like maybe baskets in there for toilet paper

17:23and things like that.

17:24I wanted it to be like a little sweet moment.

17:27And I thought that this door would totally do it.

17:29Okay, this one.

17:30No, we're missing one.

17:33This is the pantry.

17:35That's the coffee pantry.

17:37Guest closet.

17:40I remember I started to move them up here,

17:42but I didn't move all of them.

17:44I also have some door frames too back here.

17:50I have a door labeled guest bathroom

17:51and that one's already installed.

17:53So that could be an issue.

17:55Maybe I switch some around.

17:56I'm gonna measure the opening and then determine.

17:59I mean, at least we can get started on those two doors.

18:01I must've changed my mind on some of them

18:04that I had planned for sure.

18:06Like it said main bedroom one and two.

18:09I know for sure I changed my mind on those

18:11because I found these two beautiful doors.

18:13So I was gonna use those two for something different.

18:2233, 81 and three quarters.

18:29Trying to think about all the ways the door is open.

18:32So to go into a bathroom, you step in.

18:38So it turns this way.

18:42But I think I had planned,

18:43since the bathroom is more on this side,

18:45I think I had it planned to open this way.

18:52Because you open and then walk into the main bathroom.

18:58And I didn't want you to have to walk around the door.

19:00So, okay.

19:01So it's all the things you have to think about.

19:05If someone sees me right there,

19:07they're gonna be like, what is that girl doing?

19:09No one can see me.

19:10No one's here.

19:11I'm in the middle of nowhere.

19:11No one's here.

19:12This way, it means the hinges are on the left,

19:15which means the hinges on this door are not right

19:19for how the door is gonna open for me.

19:22But that's okay.

19:23Like even the doorknob on this little door is so low.

19:26Like, look how low.

19:29But what I think I want for this door

19:32is for it to be like a, just like a click in.

19:35It won't have like a real door mechanism.

19:37It'll just be like more of like a click, click in.

19:40I don't know what those are called.

19:40Ball, ball and click, whatever.

19:4419 and three quarters.

19:47Okay.

19:5179 and three quarters.

19:55It is, it is so cold out here.

20:0238, why'd they do this opening so big?

20:06104, so there's a transom window

20:08that's gonna go above this.

20:1281, yeah.

20:14That puts the little living closet

20:15an inch and a quarter off the ground.

20:19I'll need three quarters of an inch.

20:21That puts the little linen closet

20:22a half inch above the ground.

20:25Just enough to open and close it.

20:27So for the closet, I need to find a door

20:29that's less than 32 and a quarter.

20:32I need three quarters of an inch,

20:34so that's an inch and a half.

20:35I need a door that's a shy less than 30 and three quarters.

20:40Okay, I'm gonna go measure.

20:42Okay, I figured it out.

20:43So I measured all the doors that I had.

20:45So I have two of these doors that are really similar

20:48and they look really good

20:49with the one I picked for the main door.

20:51So I think that this one is perfect.

20:53I have another one in the back

20:54and also a different design that I was like,

20:56ooh, would this be cool?

20:58It has different panels.

21:00I don't have it planned for anywhere.

21:01It's just an extra door that we had from the house.

21:04But I think since it's so close to two other doors,

21:07I think I need to keep the pattern the same

21:09and I can maybe use that one for something else.

21:1230, 70, 70.

21:16Yeah, I think I'm gonna need a few things

21:17from the hardware store to do the door.

21:19So I wanna make a full list for my whole project

21:22so I don't have to make multiple trips.

21:24I wanna make sure that I'm making the trips worth it.

21:25Just got back from picking up Kate from my mom's house.

21:29He spent the afternoon with her while we were working.

21:33It's weird.

21:35It's like bizarre, like Kate's eight months old

21:38and we haven't like taken him somewhere

21:42to someone to be babysat.

21:44It's always been like at our house,

21:46like when my mom's there.

21:48Or like I was staying with my mom,

21:49so I would just like leave him

21:51and then come back to him to sleep.

21:52So it wasn't quite the same.

21:54Like this time we were like going and picking up all his stuff

21:56and I was like, okay, we'll see you tomorrow.

21:59Thank you so much.

22:00It was just, I don't know, just a weird feeling.

22:03Adjusting to like a new life, you know?

22:05It's like when I was here working on the cottage

22:09before, obviously I did not have a baby.

22:10And most times I was just solo down here,

22:12just like working on a project and I lived a certain life.

22:16And now it's just so different, but also the same.

22:20It's the same and different.

22:22It's weird.

22:23It's like not an adjustment,

22:24just like navigating it is a new normal.

22:29Cause that was my normal for so long.

22:31So we're back at the cottage

22:33and we are making a frozen pizza.

22:36Like we don't have it in us to like cook full on.

22:39And now that I know how to use this oven

22:41because we have it in LA, it's kind of nice.

22:48I don't know if I mentioned this before,

22:49but we're having our gas lines worked on.

22:52Something with the meat, like, I don't know.

22:54I honestly, I don't know what happened,

22:57but something happened.

22:58So we do not have hot water at the cottage

23:04or the fireplace doesn't work.

23:06So we do have the oven

23:08and then we have our little stovetop.

23:09So we're making do just fine.

23:11So we showered at my mom's house,

23:13but they're working on that.

23:15They're going to be working on it on Monday.

23:17So we'll have gas on Monday.

23:19So I've just been heating water in a pot

23:21to wash the bottles a little bit.

23:36I've been just heating water for everything.

23:42Like I need to wash my face.

23:44I just need some water, like not a big deal.
