Building our Dream English Cottage Nursery & Discovering a Hidden Fireplace | My Tiny Estate 

Lime plaster is the way to go! It looks fantastic!

A baby born to 2 loving fathers is the best a child could want...

You two make me laugh so much 🤣 The videos are so much fun, and the end result is always amazing 🥰

All I can say is - what a lucky baby having you both for parents!!

In a short while that baby will be sleeping with two loving fathers and have that beautiful room for play. We all do it even though we start with the best intentions.

Your attention to detail making Ikea cupboards fit in with your aesthetic is inspiring - as is everything you do. Such a pleasure to watch people who genuinely care about what they do. This no doubt will extend to your parenting.

😂 just love you guys. Your humour is infectious ❤

I love how Dean has sleepless nights all planned .

Realistically, your bedroom will be the first nursery, as well.

Gorgeous! Absolutely love it, love that you two are saving the fire places it's such a feature and grounds the room beautifully, plus those beams are to die for. It's going to be such a stunning nursery

Decorating a nursery is so exciting for first time parents. I love that you are using a storage system that is reasonably priced and then making it look custom.

You two are the best , great personality, both handsome, great work ethic, enjoy your videos. Crack on 😊

It just makes me so happy when I know that people are going to be the most loving parents to a child. This baby is going to be surrounded with so much love always. You guys are so inspiring and talented in everything you do, and I love that you both always keep a positive attitude. Your commitment to preserving the natural beauty of the estate is so amazing, and you guys just have such a clean, yet elegant and unique style. As someone working towards my degree and license in architecture, I always entertain myself with all things renovation-related that I can find, and your journey is just my favorite due to your eye for design and the aforementioned care that you put into to everything you do to the estate and the dower house. Thank you for always making my day with your videos, and congratulations on the new addition to your family!

Good morning guys. This morning was the first time you appeared on my feed. Instantly I became hooked on your channel. Subscribed. Notifications on. Like. Cheers from Dubrovnik, Croatia Zoltán

Can't wait to see the finished room, so many lifelong memories will be made there! The peek of the "cot" looks gorgeous. I can see Pottery Barn fitting your style, but the custom one will become a family heirloom.

I'm so glad I found your channel. I love watching your progress, how everything is perfectly imperfect, but with your attention to detail? Amazing! Your baby is blessed to have such clearly loving parents. I wish you all the best of luck (you're going to need it lol 😘) xx

It just occurred to me that baby will be the best dressed child ever.

Wow

BRAVO on repointing and restoring the fireplace!! I want to learn to do this! Also love all the tips you sprinkle throughout your videos, soooo much more interesting and appealing than mass-produced HGTV!

You will be great dads! Here comes an advice from DAD to you guys and you will later thank me for it.😊. have you heard about Dream Feed? Dream feeding is a technique used by parents to feed their babies during the night without waking them fully. This can be especially helpful for parents who want to maximize their baby's sleep time, as it can help the baby go longer between feedings and hopefully sleep for longer stretches at a time..... It worked super for my kids! Just saying..😊 Dream feeding typically involves picking up your sleeping baby and offering them a bottle or breastfeeding them while they are still asleep. The idea is to do this before the baby wakes up hungry and starts crying, which can disrupt their sleep and yours.

New subscriber, just in time I see 🙂

I just watched this video from the link you sent. You are both very talented with Home construction and repairs. I love Fireplaces and that one is beautiful. Jeff❤

Borja really is giving Mr Darcy in his white shirt and tan trousers in the interview clip - love it! You’ve both done such a brilliant job in the nursery, it’ll be a lovely place to spend time with your little one. Also that wood stain for the rocking chair is genius! I’d never have thought of staining new furniture and I didn’t know Mylands made it either, I only ever see the ones at Homebase which aren’t nearly as nuisanced in colour. *starts searching my house for wood to stain*

Oh wow, another amazing and inspiring vlog. Thank you very much. I could watch you the whole day.

The new bricks in the fireplace look great! Well done!

Omg!! I laughed until I was crying when you were detailing the needs of the sick one!!! You guys are funny

Love the nursery! …you could put a small bookcase in the firebox to hold story books & toys.

This is my favorite episode so far. I've built IKEA in a tiny closet it's a special experience 😂 The baby excitement 💖💖💖💖

Looks fantastic, can’t wait to see it finished… and the new small person whose bedroom it going to be… 🥰🥰. Borja, I spat me tea out when you demonstrated how you rid your frustration out on the chimney with a hand brush… hilarious!! X

So happy for you both and excited to meet your baby! The nursery is going to be warm, cozy and calm. Perfect for your little one. ❤

❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️

This channel is fantastic all the details I love it.... Your baby is already so loved, 💖💖💖

Wir freuen uns soooooo sehr für euch,ihr werdet tolle Papa's ❤❤

You guys cracked me up with sickness empathy with each other lol. Sending healing vibes, get better soon. Fireplace and hearth looks great. Nice bit of Tetris on the cupboards

I can't imagine how happy ( and probably terrified!) you two are right now x

🤣my parents are the same, my mom is "here's a bucket, find me when you're better" my dad, flat gingerale, popsicles (ice lolly)clean sheets, humidifier TOTAL nurse vibes!

Gorgeous room, you did the parent panic to get a room done which we all do. But really the baby will sleep in a room with you for the first 6 months. ❤ Disfruta de tu peque ❤ Enhorabuena

Love what you have done to the room - I hope you get your text book baby 😂 in real life it doesn’t work out that way - you are a lovely couple and will learn as you go day by day as parents ❤

Just wow! Can't wait for you both to hold your precious little one!! xx

He will have an amazing childhood with two loving parents and in the countryside. He is a lucky boy. Can't wait to see your first video of him! I am not sure if you will have much time to make videos though😅 ❤

Ha! Ha! You guys are soo cute. If I’m sick or injured I hate to be fussed over. I just want to be left alone and my husband is the exact opposite!

It’s looking great and the fireplace is gorgeous. So excited for you guys. Looking forward to the reveal 😍😘

Well Dean, be thankful that after 24hrs of being sick Borga isn’t out digging a hole somewhere. If you catch him doing this….Run 😂 you guys are hilarious. Nursery is going to be stunning ❤️

You should have a cradle for the baby in your room right next to your bed...and then after a month or two or three you move the baby into the nursery using the crib (cot). You in the UK have the best antique caned victorian cradles. So funny you want things from the US and I want things from the UK. I'm so excited for you both.

Love the series. 🏳️‍🌈❤ from the USA.

The nursery is looking fabulous 👌 love that your mums are involved, they’ll be a great help, especially,when you bring your precious baby👶 home! You won’t be getting much sleep,with a new baby! Have your new baby, in a crib next to the bed,it’s so much easier! Not long now 😍

What a fantastic job on the brickwork! Well done the room will be adorable! Can't wait to see it, you will be fantastic dad's!

This is being built with love! 😍🥰😘👨‍🍼

The nursery is coming together so lovely! The sneak peak of the cot looks stunning, something to keep for future generations too. I hope you’ve made sure you both have a walk in closet too 😂 ❤

So excited for the final reveal! I loved all the attention to detail. To be honest I wouldn’t have thought to change the colour of the legs of the rocking chair or add coving to the wardrobes but it makes so much difference 😍.

Love your program. Good luck as you extend your family.

wonderful work! seeing the "fireplace" I thought what a nice place that would be for the little one's first bookshelves... ❤

the room is really coming along well, love the finishing touches, amazing how you ca adapt off the shelf units and make them look bespoke... I think it will be a while before you venture this way with all the projects you have on the go but as you said in the last video the foot will soon be off the accelerator so you can actually enjoy family life and adjust to being 3, but also enjoy some off the wonderful spaces you have created as well as some work but at a sensible pace. Take care guys have a good week and looking forward to see the next step off your journey... Robb Torremolinos Spain xxx

It really turned out Amazing!

It's looking good, dudes.

Hey guys, Another beautiful room, I was really interested in the rebuilding of the fireplace and re-pointing in lime never used lime plaster and now desperately looking for something to point😂

Enjoyed the video guys can’t wait to see the reveal next week ❤❤

such an exciting time for both of you!

What about a mural in the nursery from a photograph of the Dower House exterior grounds, put through a monochromatic filter to mimic French grisaille painting , maybe personalized with a variety of animals, the two of you, a donkey, the lady in pink and the other mum. It would be sophisticated enough to transition into adulthood. There are programs that will create wall paper from digital images. Something to do in your spare time, as you don't have anything else on your plates.

U can paint for bricks if U want them to match/stain the red ones.

Man flu - yep - I totally get that. My husband gets little sympathy also. In the meantime, it’s so funny listening to first time parents preparing for their baby. Been there, done that. The first thing is - most of the stuff you think you need, you don’t. So many of the things you plan to do, you won’t. Babies are wonderful, but I will never forget the bone deep tiredness. As for keeping them in their room? I just put them in bed with us when they woke up during the night because I was tired, No, they didn’t do it until they were 15, if you encourage them to be independent, they will be. Only piece of advice? Look around at the people you know, pick who seems to have the best relationship with their kids, and do what they do. Never believe parents who tell you their kids “never did that”. People lie. Ignore them. You guys will be great. Good luck! ❤ And in the immortal words of Douglas Adams - Don’t panic.

Everything is looking so very good :) !!!!!

You two are amazing wow!

It looks wonderful!

Ah yes...the life-threatening "man flu", it's a real thing guys! 😆😆Wait until baby arrives...there will be no time for sickness...or sympathy. 😉 The fireplace is looking great!

Hugs ❤️ Daddies 🌸❤️🩷🦩🦩🌷🩷

Fantastic video - you guys are so talented - love ya!❤️👬🏳️‍🌈

Looks good 😊

Love the sneak peek and I can’t wait for the gender reveal🥰

Where will your progeny make spit and pencil crayon spells, I always squatted beside the fire place! Enjoy, life's about to change in many ways!

👍

I apologize if this has been asked; why plaster the firebox instead of leaving the exposed brick?

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Slayyyyyy

My guess is a boy…, as it’s more masculine than feminine. It looks fabulous either way

Dean you must have French blood. 😂

Baby?

Bub will need to sleep in your room for months guys. Even in your bed. You can’t expect a newborn baby who is born knowing the actual smell of it’s mother and even will already know what the smell and taste of her breastmilk will be and the security she offers to just be put in a room and left to sleep alone. It doesn’t work like “it will know it has to stay there all night” it’s not like training a dog guys

You said you picked the room that could be a bedroom later. Isn't that how everyone chooses a nursery/extra bedroom?

I would have left the inside of the fireplace like it was. I don't know why you plastered inside??☹️

❤
