Renovating Traditional Stone Cottage - ABANDONED BUILDING TO A HOME 

Remembering back from my college days, having chairs makes such a difference. You’re not just on floor level. Makes you want to spend time in the space.

I was having some flashbacks to my own hellish tiling experience, but you guys nailed it! Nice teamwork and they look great!

Do you know how old the barn is? It will make a beautiful home and stand forever if looked after. Laura you are such a perfectionist but the end results of things you do makes it so worthwhile. I can hardly wait to see the barn the day you finally move in. You should throw a party inviting all your family, friends and those people who have helped you along the way. Would make an amazing video. ❤

Hi Guys, the chairs are gorgeous don’t change the fabric I am sure Laura will give them with some TLC.the tiles look absolutely amazing. Laura and the snake made me laugh.❤️❤️

Starting to get the hang of this renovation lark. Well done Dan and Laura. Doors next , walls, roof, lights and wood burner etc. love the love you are putting into this xxx

For best results, don’t forget to “ back butter” the tiles. That means adding the paste on the back of each tile too. Love the chairs! I look forward to watching what you do with them! ❤️🇨🇦

Howdy Laura and Dan. Bon Dia. You two do excellent tile work. Looks amazing. The chairs are a great find. A little washing and TLC is all they need. The King and Queen of the land. Fits nicely and may all the blessings to you both. Can’t wait for the continuation of your journey.

Now a new, well-insulated roof. Super efficient Class A windows and doors, a swimming pool, a bunch of kids running from one side to the other screaming, half a dozen dogs and cats. A flock of sheep and some dairy cows and "enjoying" those noble chairs on a porch on a summer evening with two good drinks in hand. Good idea? 😁

Just by pushing through all the set backs and still sharing it with us, is worth more than a thankyou. Thankyou to you two. And again you are doing a great job.

Of all the homesteaders I watch, you two have the best piece of land and are doing an excellent job with little experience. I so appreciate your care in construction and good sense of design. Laura you should be very, very proud of your skills. You seem to tackle everything you come across. Jobs well done.

Great work on the tiles. Loved your synchronised work on the window. The chairs are a great bonus. Its all coming together. Look after each other 💛

Dan and Laura, you two make a wonderful team. You both have a learning spirit and complement each other. Beautiful tile work and l absolutely love the two chairs,love the beautiful fabric on them! Looking forward to your next video! Thank you!🙏🏻💕👏

You made a good choice in using your leftover tiles. The tiles brings out the colors in your granite walls. The job looks splendid! The chairs have that Portuguese/EU flair that goes well inside of your barn house. The colors are bright that will enhance the room. Well done guys! So happy to be following your Life's Journey! Cheerios! See you next week! ❤

Every time you guys zoom in on the house walls my wife and i are amazed by the granite the people were using "in the old days". And properly placed by hand, what an amazing job they did and what an effort to build like that. Just wauw. Also great job, tiling concerned, nice color and structure.

Good job Laura and Dan! I'm impressed with your tiling 🤭 Those chairs are mega ... love it! Have a great week... 🙏🌿🕊

Oh my goodness, you two never cease to amazing me with your skills, well done to both of you on your tiling it looks brilliant, take care, sending love ❤❤❤❤

Gorgeous chairs, what a find. And a beautiful job on the entry tiles. They look professionally done. The two of you are fast becoming confident homesteaders. ❤

Good job on the tiles for a nice welcoming entry. And wow! Quite the chairs.

Great job you two. Tricky cuts and you done it ! It looks homogentastic. Chairs look lovely too.

Nice chairs! A drill, a wooden dowel and some glue fixes them right up! Scrub them down, shine them up and heirlooms with a story! The tiles look GREAT!

I am so proud of you 2. Those tiles wasn't so easy but you nailed them. The chairs were a gem. Nice video. See you in the next one ❤

Great tiling job. Theres no way I could have mastered that curve. Chairs are amazing. See you next time.

The tiles look amazing! Great job😊 You both look happier of late and it’s nice to see you with that twinkle back in your eye Laura 😁 Be safe 🌿🌿🐍🌿🌿 🤣😂🤣

Nice tiling! Every job makes you more educated! You make my day!😘

I like the front door step, both inside and out! The thing to do with the chairs is to keep them to pass on to some future Laura and Dan in another fifty years.

One of my highlights of the week when I see another video :)

Wow, I never considered you had no chairs, new level of respect unlocked! So happy for the tile success, a real luxury you deserve!

You guys reminds me so much of my younger days. Sweet memories....all those first things. My late hubby and me were also sooo excited when a goal was achieved. Make beautiful memories you 2. It will sustain you one day. Those chairs are gems❤

The chairs are beautiful and if you can repair and clean them you will have something gorgeous for your new home. Hurrah for you.😊

I always love your videos, honest first time experiences that are super relatable. The barn is looking great and nice job on the tiling, gotta give Laura credit for being persistent and the perfectionist of the two. It's good to take time to do it right ❤

The unique chairs, with the beautiful fabric will be an amazing contrast with the ancient, natural stone home. Good find you two.

Love watching you two learn as you go. This is what will make you great at everything you do; practice makes perfect. The tile job really came out beautiful and I am looking forward to the next stem. Great job.

Great find, using a wooden dowel glued in the break normally makes a good repair.👍

Great tiling. To fix the chair legs, consider drilling say 10mm hole 4cm long into the leg and then again up into the seat. Cut a length of threaded bolt to suit and use it to ‘pin’ them together, filling both holes with 2 part epoxy. That should make a strong joint.

Great tiling and fab chairs - you two are gonna look like the Beckhams on their wedding thrones! 🤴🏻🧡👸🏻

The entry tiles look awesome guys!!! It's gonna be a beautiful place when it's finished! Heck, it already is!! 😅 Be safe and have fun!

Great job guys on the tiling. I'm sure the chairs will look fantastic after Laura gets her hands on them. I'm impressed, you have done great jobs so far. So glad you're getting the roof done, it will improve things greatly all round. Take care and stay safe. ALB.

The tiles really made the barn feel like home. Those chairs will be beautiful in your home. Imagine sitting by the wood burner in those chairs. hot cocoa and thick socks. Awesome. Do you guys have a cement mixer? I love the color of the tiles. I am really happy for you both. Getting into your house will make you relax even more.

So good seeing the way God is blessing you kids!!! Y'all have come so far in such a short time. Our prater is that God will continue blessing you kids... Much love... BBE..

Good job on the floor. It turned out great. Those chairs are beautiful, as well as the fabric. Have a lovely weekend!

The worn fabric adds charm and character, but it's not that difficult to recover if you have patience. I would just give it a good clean and maybe wax the wood once you repair the legs, use it for a while before you decide.❤

The chairs are so cool , you two are amazing Dan & Laura keeping punching, you guys can do it .! ❤Rain of blessings

Just so you know Lara you can paint fabric nowadays. Yes paint The fabric on chairs and couches. There are videos on RU-vid how you paint fabric without it feeling crunchy, hard and without it coming off on your clothes when you sit. There is a special paint that you use and there's a tried and true technique that you have to use. So you might want to just paint the material instead of reupholstering them for now. Check it out You might end up wanting to do that after you wash the fabric down to get any stains out and the dust that accumulates from chairs just sitting in a house. Let me know what you find out It might work great for you!

Hi guys the tiles look fantastic well done and Laura you have a great Portuguese accent just like a Portuguese person, and those chairs will be beautiful , perfect for a beautiful country cottage 🥰

Even Cornish Nick will be impressed .Top notch job

Those terracotta-ish tiles make my heart swell up! Good job, you guys! Perfectionism goes a long way :-)

Aw, wow! What a cracking job! Dan I don't know how you have managed to get such perfect cuts on the tiles with a grinder! Laura, your tiling and grouting are better than many professionals. You are so patient grouting because most people hate it. I enjoyed the comical music, you both work well together as always. Really good progress. Wishing you both all good things to come your way! 😊 xxx

I enjoy tiling, the more you do the better you get at it. Its one of my favourite DIY jobs now

Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love and bless you guys, good work guys 👍😁, now dig a peace of land put some old horse manure potting ground buy some leaks put them in and have your veggies garden and make it close to the barn so you can look at it every day and give it water and love the growing season already started save your self's some money and own grown veggies are the best don't wait to long.

OMGosh! Love the chairs! You did a great job on the tile and it looks SO nice. 😃

Hello friend's you're going to need to seal the blocks under the window with a waterproof sealer to prevent moisture coming through the blocks so when you paint it it won't bubble up and look ugly. 👍 You guy's are doing great keep up the good work enjoy watching your journey. Your friend all the way from Florida in the USA 🇺🇸😎

Hey, love you guys. It's time to visit some cute little towns, go to the beach, eat the local food, etc. You deserve a break.

Great job Laura and Dan, time will soon fly by and you’ll both be relaxing in the home that you both renovated and decorated to your own specifications. ‘Keep the faith” and continue to look after each other. Also nice pick up on the chairs/thrones!

You making great steps, definitely the right move replacing the roof.

For novices, you did a really splendid job!😁

Jim here from Australia. Your story telling is amazing! I love a relax with a coffee and watch your progress. Your approach to projects is so much like my own, have a go! work from the know to the unknown. Your videos bring me so much peace in super troubled times. Thank you.

Wow, your tiles look perfect, and I love the antique chairs, a lot of hand carved beauty, will look beautiful in your renovated barn/house. Have a blessed week & looking forward to your next video.

Such a beautiful entryway into your future home. I'm so proud of you two! You've come a long way and worked so hard. 🎉

The tiles look fantastic and the chairs were a good find, hopefully you can repair them. That snake now has a phobia it never knew existed, being parked on by a bicycle.

Make your videos longer please they are too short. I’m enjoying your antics 👍

The tile looks wonderful! Way to go. I’m excited to see the whole floor go in. Before you know it you will be moving furniture in.

OMGoodness I don’t like snakes either! Sorry that happened and glad no one got hurt. Love the chairs. They’re going to look fantastic with the tile in y’all’s house!!❤

❤Certainly have grown together. Love your work Laura and Dan. Beautiful creations. Love the chairs. ❤

That tiling looked really good guys! Looking forward to seeing all these new projects that you have planned 😊

For a small room you should have laid the tiles "meia esquadria" it helps to make the area look larger.

Hello from Ardmore, Oklahoma ✌🏾😀 Me and my husband watch you both and we are so impressed with you guys🎉 keep putting videos!!

I'm so impressed and happy for the two of you…your my fav couple on youtube…i watch others but I look forward to your channel!

You guys have hit a beautiful stride now. That entrance is really sweet. Keep'er rolling!

Great week, keep up the amazing work you two. Take care of each other Love you both ❤

You two doing great. Love your humor when working together. Love from South Africa❤

God's peace Laura and Dan my sweet friends! I love how the barn home is coming along. When you finished the tiles I got a bit misty eyed. It is looking more and more like a home. The chairs are simply beautiful! I think keeping the fabric is a great idea. There is something about those chairs that reminds me of my home growing up. My Mother had beautiful furniture like those chairs. A touch of class, perhaps a little regal, comfortable, but able to stand the test of time. I am imagining you both sitting in those chairs enjoying your evening together reading a story to your little ones. I am happy you and the snake (eeek) are both ok. I always watch the videos twice. Once to watch it, second to listen and take it all in. You both do such lovely and amazing work. I love the smiles in your eyes and the truths you share. You two warm my heart and shine a light on those dark days. Always in prayers over your for peace, joy, safety, great discernment, and perseverance. All my love and love in Christ. ~John

The house is looking so good now.

Love watching you guys the tiles at the door look brilliant can't wait for the next episode to see what you do next week ❤

Wow the chairs are a great find ......ya lucky buggas!!! Lol king and queen thrones .👏👷‍♀️👷‍♂️ xxx

Drill holes in the centre of the legs and put a dowel wood glue nice chairs

Great job on the tile landing. Both clean and functional. I assume you are planning to install weather stripping around the door and window gaps. Even if it’s temporary until you finish them it will make a huge difference. Best to you both.

I think you should be proud of yourselves guys that is so awesome 💯👏👍👌

Thank you for sharing your adventure with us. The tiling looks great. I hope the chairs are comfortable. Good luck.

Well done you two !!!! getting well into your strides 😇🥰.... so proud of you both AM 😘

Loving your progress. Well done guys. Maybe upcycle the chairs and paint the dark wood cream. 💚

I'm a retired flooring installer, Nice job on that tile, now reclaim those beautiful chairs, I wouldn't do a thing to them but a light scrub... the little house is coming along 😊

The chairs are absolutely beautiful

Happy March 1st to you , another great segment of your project , you guys are just doing great every week the place looks better and better , hope that your residence situation gets settled soon because Portugal needs more people like you instead of a bunch of dead beats that go there just to collect benefits

Super good job on the tiles guys 🎉 Laura you killed it like a Boss ❤

Really well done you two. You sure have come a long way! 🥰🇨🇦

Well done on the tiling, that really has come up a treat!! As for those two chairs........What a find. I have similar style chairs but no arm rests on them and the pattern of the material is quite sublime; in other words, great catch!! Keep on keeping on Pseudo Aussies!! XX

Love those chairs

Tile is perfect! Becoming pros now . Thoes chairs are a great find.

Team work makes the dream work. ❤
