Two little hints from an old woman. ;-) Next time you're in a thrift store pick up an old tennis, or badminton, racket and then when it's time to get the dust out of your rugs, sling them over the line and use the racket to beat the dust out. That's how my grandmothers used to do it. Another way to get the sticky remnants of labels off jars and bottles is to drop a little vegetable oil on them and then just rub the glue and paper off with a rag. Your home sparkles! You've done a great job. Do you think you'll ever have someone else stay in the other cottage? I'm thinking a friend, not a fan. ;-)

I wonder if the people who sold this home to you, ever watch your videos and admire all the love you put into it. 🌼

Hannah is the definition of “I listen to everything “ 😂

“deep cleaning my house”, then proceeds with a full on bathroom remodel 😆 love it

The little walkway looks so cute with all the plants grown up around it! If you don't want a monoculture of only tansy (the yellow buttons), you might want to pull them out or at least cut them so they don't go to seed. They are cute but will take over & you'll lose some of your other flowers to their world domination plans. Tie them in a bundle and hang to dry in your cottage! Mice don't like the smell.

I am in the process of painting all the honey oak in my 1996 built home. All because of you. I feel excited and fearless doing it. All because of you. I have hated this orange wood since I moved in 5 years ago and I am finally doing something about it. I crank my favorite tunes(similar to yours), pour a cup of coffee or a glass of wine and just paint, dance and sing, and I love it so much. All because of you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Never underestimate the courage you give others..

I’m just saying, you’re a national treasure and your grandma must love you like crazy

Hanna, Just wondering if you have considered adding some insulation to the outside walls somehow? I know last year you went through the wood that you had stocked up really fast when the cold weather set in, and if you could insulate the walls even a little, it might mean that you could stay a little longer and make the wood last a little longer. Just a thought for you.

I am totally living for her outfit change after literally every five minutes and her carefree jamming to songs.😂

Hannah, if you pour the bucket of water directly into the toilet bowl part from about the height of the back of the toilet, it will flush itself and you don’t have to keep taking the back off.

I would still love to see a cute little vegetable garden next spring, I just think it would be fun to see you have a little garden you pick your vegetables from as you learn to cook more

I feel like all the mice Hannah frees, get together, and discuss "how nice the blonde girl from the cabin is". 😂

Even the regular household chores looks super fun and engaging when Hannah does it.

Hannah, we have a seasonal cabin in Northern Minnesota. Did you know that all you have to do is pour the water in the actual toilet and once you’ve poured enough water in, it automatically flush’s!? You don’t have to pour it in the back and use the handle to flush. Also when in Honduras, the toilets are the same as yours. However, they have a cistern of water in the few public bathrooms (near the bus stops) and a bucket and you just pour in the toilet, making it not a pain in the butt at all (no pun intended)😂. In Honduras, we don’t put toilet paper in the toilet, but in a garbage can and empty daily or as needed. Not gross at all. Just bag your garbage and clean as needed. Hope this helps, especially since you put the shelf so close to the top of the toilet that you won’t be able to pour a bucket of water in there.

Actual elf Hannah lets a wasp out by *carrying it on her hand*.

Someone needs to thank your parents for raising such a strong woman! You are definitely an inspiration to all the ladies. You should be very proud of you! 💪🏻

Dear Hannah , 🧡 You don't know how inspirational person are you . 🧡 When i watch your videos i feel like super encouraged and full of power . You make me really energetic to do what i want and stop procrastinating. You made me feel grateful to ward small things like nature , music family and friends when i had mis_conception of this world (that happiness and success lie in big material things ) , so i would like to say Thank you . Hope for you absolutely nothing but happiness, good health and peace of mind 🧡 Love you 🧡

I've learned that your environment can really shape how you feel. I unintentionally put myself in social circles that left me feeling like my day to day (mostly weekend because I work a traditional day job 9-5) space shaping/improvement activities were weird or extra. No one ever actually said that but it was just like seen as sort of me as creating more work. I enjoy changing my space to fit my needs and your videos of all your space transformations make me feel less 'alone'. Thank you.

Hannah… you should be soooo proud of your hard work and the change that has morphed in to a beautiful home…💜

Hannah is such a boss! Love how there is no task too large for this girl! Keep up the great and inspiring work!!

Give yourself some grace Hannah! You keep saying how unproductive you feel, but you got so much done! And you kept pushing to do more. Give yourself some credit and look at what you accomplished, instead of feeling defeated by what you didn't get done right away. A change of perspective can be a big boost to your happiness.

Such a beautiful spot your homes are on.

Really love the idea of wearing a white dress with white socks in the final scenes of a completed deep-cleaning session :) harhar

Great job on cleaning your home thoroughly. It’s easy to let it escape especially when you’re single and live alone. I do the same thing as well. Working at the hospital 13 hour shifts

This mix of songs and chaotic sounds is exactly how my mind is 24/7

I get so overjoyed when Hannah has posted. I usually watch as I eat my breakfast and sip coffee. I daydream of living in a cabin. :)

“What an ending of a project without an existential crisis” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ i so feel you!

Molly is doing a great job also!

They say we all have a book in us - yours could be "The Hannah Lee Duggan guide to home renovating and decorating whilst listening to your favourite musicals".

Jus the kinda video I needed to get lost in on a rainy morning, sippin my coffee. Thank you, Hannah!

Your cabin is soo soo cozy!! Love the color of the wood, the stones around the fireplace.. oh wow! And all the plants... really love it :)

I was yelling, "beat the rug with a piece of a tree branch" or simular .... That way U could stand away from it and really get the dirt/dust out of it .... Anyway with that being said ... U R the cutest, love your dancing, singing (which happens to be very, very good) love what pops out of your mouth, love how entertaining you are, love watching your thought process, you style choices, etc, etc .. Just love you !!!

I don’t know why, and how, but watching u is saving me from loneliness and anxiety. 🥺

Oh my goodness, I started watching this video and seeing the loo indoors ( Even though its not finished) and thought to myself I wonder if the previous owners has been watching and seeing the transformation that you have done there?? Glad I am not the only crazy person who loves music and dances whilst cleaning. I have always done it but you go above and beyond when you do it.. In a nice way. Anyway just wanted to to say that I had a reading back about 20 years ago and was told that I am restless because of moving things around all the time in my home. I would change my room around every month or so.. Now I am 58 with an amazing husband for the past 16 years and no longer move everything as I am settled. It will happen to you one day too. But enjoy doing what you are doing and keeping us all entertain.. You are an inspiration to many Hannah, keep up the great videos. Much love from Wales in the UK

You've shown me something doesn't have to be perfect off the bat for it to be the perfect choice for you. Perfect is in the process.

I feel like “Ex’s and Oh’s” is an underrated song cause I haven’t heard anyone else play it until now

The satisfaction I felt when the drawer fit under the couch 🤤🤤 we love perfect storage

Deep cleaning = cleaning + spackling + painting + installing shelving +++ Love it! And you should get one of those old-timey rug-beating thingies. 🙂

Thank you for not being “fake” as you put it. I am about to journey to a cabin in NY soon …. Just for a few weeks..I am excited as I’ve spent my life always wanting to do a solo adventure .. I love watching your videos …. Although, I’m much older than you, You are one of my inspirations! Thank you for your beautiful postings

You inspire me to just do things even if they are not perfectly planned or perfect!

Hi Hannah! Actually it looked perfect, when the drawer was not pushed underneath. 🙂It's really beautiful and should stay the lighter color. It brings a great, classy contrast to your couch/bed. ❤️

next time you need to beat the rug out set it up on the line like you did, grab a broom and stand back while you use the broom to hit the rug so you can get some distance from it and the dust.

Great video, I read a book called "Simple Abundance" and she changed House work into HOUSE CARE and wow what a difference that makes for me...I light incense, turn on all the lights, put music on random and imagine it is messages for my Soul from the lyrics and dance about while cleansing imagining I am clearing away dirt and negative/stale energy and creating space for the new ideas or things I need after letting go of the old ..always makes such a huge difference ..and usually takes a day a room ... thanks Hannah for these great videos and ideas ..I realised at the age of 60 I have never used a power tool gasp!! I am going to look a project so I can give it a go !

“This is interactive content now, please be answering aloud.” -Hannah, the forest princess 🤣

Never a dull moment Hannah, that was probably the most entertaining cleaning I've ever watched HA!!

Love your DIY projects but you also asked for inputs. As a minimalist, I say too many shelves in the bathroom. More shelves, more dusting. But hey, only you know your storage needs. Love the shelf & mirror over the toilet. And for those of us on septic systems & wells, when the power goes out, we fill the tank with water stored in jugs for that very reason. Just slightly inconvenient. The outhouse works in good weather! Look for an old time rug beater!

Yeah!!!! She drove Walter! He must have been so happy working again.

A bathroom trashcan is the exact amount of water you need to flush the toliet . I love all your places of residence. You really just know how to pull a space together. I would never want to leave its that perfect. Also the music is the best always gets me dancing and dancing is more neccessary than breathing. Singing too is a cure for depression.

you are such an inspiration hannah 💕 after college i want to move off grid and explore the world.

I wish I had a cottage to escape the craziness of our world! Hannah, thank you for sharing your world with us. Your independence and your positive outlook on life is so inspiring…even for me…a middle aged mother of teenage girls. I love losing myself once a week in your videos. Thank you :)

Just have to say, that big mirror from your living room that went into your porch is EVERYTHING! It is Gorgeous!

Hannah, I just cannot tell you how much I enjoy your videos. You are like a breath of fresh air so inspiring. You entertain me, you motivate me, you allow me to live vicariously thru you. PLEASE, don’t ever tire of doing what you do!❤️

I cleaned my room while watching you clean and it honestly felt like I had a cleaning buddy 😂

When you first moved in I admit I had my doubts, but every week I love it more and more! You have made it so home-y and lovely. Can’t wait to see what next week brings!

please know that you inspire me to be a happier person 💗 thank you for sharing your beautiful life with us.

I love your style. You are an inspiration!

Loved at 7:56 "this is interactive content now, please be answering aloud" I love Hannah's sense of humor! lol

Watching you cleaning your beautiful cottage while enjoying music and being so chaotic is so entertaining, I love it💜 I can't wait for the cottage tour🙌

Morning coffee and your unique Hannah-content makes me kinda appreciate this whole Soul-Having-a-human-experience a lot more. Spending some of my lifetime watching you living your lifetime, kinda strange but sooooo inspiring and soothing. Thank you thank you thank you 🌸💕🕊

"how do we like these shelves" not me responding outloud like it'll actually matter

Bathroom looks really good. Love what you've done to your cabin/cottage home. You are an inspiration to women who need a change a new beginning or just prove to themselves it's possible to be independent and free to live life on your own terms.

I used to clean my whole house in 3 days. It was super therapeutic. I would dance around also. It was totally exhausting tho. I totally know how you feel.. Yesterday I cleaned out my mudroom and the closet in it. Took all day. But it's done and it feels great. I think you did a great job!

I need a long ass playlist from her? She has such an eclectic selection of music! 🤣

You are so fun to watch with your eclectic tastes in music (much like my own) and all your little projects around the cabin. I told my wife that I am envious of your property, sloping kitchen floor and all! You've done a great job!

This is my comfort place! ✨ also the life i want to live 💛🌻

I dont care what you do, I just enjoy "spending time" at your cottage.

This is genuinely the most authentic and inspiring video I've seen lately. Thank you for showing a glimpse into your life, I love your chaotic personality, I didn't want this to end 😁

Donna Sheridan vibes ❤ I'm living for this!!! Been binge-watching for the past two weeks and I just can’t get enough of you and your content. You really inspire me!

Love how she cleans the house out with a glass of wine 🍷 love it and love you and your amazing channel please stay safe love your Australia fan John xxxx

This isn’t cleaning, this is something on a whole other level 😄

WOW!!! Best part of this video is the box over the fuse box, love that idea, would have never thought of it, EXCELLENT!!!👍❤️✌️

if you ever want to use a sustainable stain for the wood that's also cheaper, you can boil walnuts and get walnut stain from it :) means wood will be %100 biodegradable healthily & it's a fun project!

Just pour the water in the bowl, it will still flush

I totally love how the deep cleaning times became a shelving show.

These are my favorite, love when I can see you enjoying the nest, it inspires me.

I used to soak my labels off jars too. Now I usually use a hairdryer to heat the adhesive and peel them off. Then if it doesn’t go as expected I go back the old faithful soak and scrub. House looks great! Love your style.

Hannah, just pour the bucket of water directly into the bowl. It will flush the contents out to the septic without removing the shelf and tank lid. Just pour quickly.👍

If Hannah lugging around that damn gigantic mirror trying to decide where to put it isn't a metaphor for my whole life, I don't know what is.

I reuse bottles too. If you have a blow dryer, you can use it to get the labels off of bottles, by gently warming the label and slowly peeling it off. It will often come off all in one piece, along with the glue and won't leave any residue. Love your videos!

1 thing you are definitely not boring. I definitely watched the whole video. I wish I had half of your energy. Great job young lady.

And she’s back doing amazing things with tools, you’re such an inspiration cause I’m building a cottage very soon ! 😻

I love your decor the mirror in the bathroom is perfect as is that gorgeous big mirror placement in the porch area. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Gotta say...I’ve done a ton of stuff in life (gotta stay occupied ya know), but I’ve never built shelves. Now I’m looking all over my house for where I can put some, cuz Hannah makes it look so easy, that now I know I could do it too. So excited!

i love the bathroom curtain. For the toilet, just get some sort of watering can that looks cute, and then you only have to tip up the edge and "water" your toilet and then the can can *hehe* sit on a shelf. ENJOY!!

Awesome job I just love your cabin! The transformation from when you first got it to now is like night and day, truly beautiful

Good for you, your cottage looks great, it’s so coming together a d can’t wait to see the tour! Ironically, your place looks fab and I’m procrastinating about cleaning/rearranging my own off grid cabin. The fun never ends, enjoy! ❤️🇨🇦

You are such a joy to watch. Always brightens this disabled heart, lol! Wish I could spend every day just hanging out with you. The cottage looks amazing, and love your eye for decoration :) Huggs a bunches, and you just Roc Soxs!

It’s the absolute most eclectic shuffle of music in the background for me ❤

Love the last room you were in. The back sun room, with the electrical panel box is concerning. You need to get that room buttoned up with insulation, ship lap and new siding. Concerned for your safety. Please be careful.

Why would you dislike this video? It’s so wholesome.. as always 💛

What a sweet, cozy oasis! You have a vibe all your own! Thanks for sharing with us all. 💜☺️✌🏼

love you, Hannah! you did a great beautiful job

You can pour water directly into the bowl to flush the toilet; no need to remove the lid, which, sooner or later, you will likely break... If you use this method, hold back a little water or add more to refill the bowl puddle or you'll get sewer odor inside your house.

Hannah I highly recommend the Anne of green gables audio book series. My soothing go to when I need something to keep my mind calm while I’m busy getting chores done!

As a Virgo I approve of this cleaning video 😅🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤩 I love cleaning because you get so much out of it in the end! It’s always worth it for me, and I love all the (Lil’ or big) projects, & redecorating that you’re constantly doing!!! Cottage life is amazing, & so are you!! Much love from northern Cali! 💞💞💞

Hannah you are a true treasure and inspiration to all free spirits and those who wish they could be. Please never stop being you❤️❤️❤️

I love how she loves her wine! 🍷 It makes cleaning much more fun!!!😁

"why do I own so many shoes, i don't have nearly this many feet" love how you made that into a song😂😄

May I throw an idea out that you collect all of the wires above the power box behind some type of plastic or rubber casing that looks like wood? Then place shelves about that cabinet with a cut out surrounding the cord boxes to place more plants and what-not essentially hiding the unsightly cords? Just an idea. Your place is coming along beautifully! Great job!

Mary Poppins is my favorite Disney movie!! So happy to hear all of them!
