I’m renovating a 1930s cottage one project at a time and documenting the full process as I bring an old house back to life.
This channel is all about real DIY renovation, thoughtful design decisions, budget-conscious choices, and the ups and downs that come with transforming a fixer upper. You’ll find honest renovation progress, material and layout decisions, practical problem-solving, and a home that is slowly becoming something beautiful and functional.
If you love historic homes, cottage renovations, old house charm, and real-life fixer upper projects, you’re in the right place.

This week’s video is looking like it’s going to be a long one 🤍
We’re tying together several of the front porch details, and the cottage is starting to feel seriously storybook….and I absolutely LOVE IT!
❓I’m curious, how do y’all feel about longer videos? Do you like having a good long renovation video to settle into, or do you usually prefer them a little shorter?

Hey friends, I won’t have a new video up this Saturday.
I’ve been really sick this week. Thankfully nothing serious, just one of those viruses that will not let go. We did start removing the old porch railings, and I have plenty to share with you, but I’ve gotten behind from being sick and won’t be able to finish editing the video in time.
My goal is not to wait until next Saturday. I just need a little extra time to get it finished.
I’m really sad to miss a Saturday upload, and I don’t take it lightly. Thank you for being patient with me and for showing up here each week.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend, and Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers, grandmothers, and mother figures here 🤍
See you soon - Haylee

It has turned off cold again 🥶 so naturally this is the week we’re trying to make porch progress.
I’m really excited to share this week’s cottage update. The rusty railings are saying goodbye!
I’m also curious what you’d enjoy seeing more of here. The cottage renovation will still be the heart of the channel, but I’d love to post more than one video a week when I can, and not every video can be a full renovation episode.
Would you be interested in more

New video goes live Saturday, April 11 at 9:00 AM CDT. This one includes an updated look at the cottage and the plans for an outdoor refresh. It feels good to be heading into a stretch where I can put more into these projects and bring you along as they take shape.
