Interior Designer here…. Whatever flooring you choose make sure to install UNDER FLOOR HEATING! Not only will it keep you toasty but it will really help keep things dry down there.
Was just going to
Say the same as a interior designer
(Unless she or Ali have varicose veins)
Never underestimate how awesome professional organizers are
They are!
You have inspired me so much with your chickens and kitchen garden and I am now the proud mom of 4 beautiful chickens. They are so special and feels like I just want to spend the whole day with them. It is amazing how they each have their own little personalities. I have harvested my sweet potatoes and just planted my sweet peas. I feel so nature inspired. Happiness overload. Thank you for being such an inspiration Lydia.
Thank you for showing perspective on a day that really was not what you expected or wanted and how you moved on with grace.
Cleansing one’s wardrobe of the past season brings calm and order to one’s mind as well as the space! Looks divine! Speaking with an expert in their line of work whether it is a chef, gardener’s or any number of careers allows you to gain insight and knowledge that a book simply cannot provide! With age comes wisdom…your acceptance of the unfortunate flooding is a milestone of knowing that you have grown to capture one’s thoughts and take back control of them takes some a lifetime to understand once you succeed you will flourish! Emotions can either be tamed or they can run wild…we can control them or allow them to control you! Best wishes for a lovely week ahead! So many areas to design how exciting! I know each detail will be exceptional 🌿🪴🍃
Love that you’re donating to a woman’s shelter and charity Lydia, I love your kindness 💝
Clothing book is next! The picture of you wearing the dress or other outfit with a story about each! Would be a nice “scrapbook” for you!
I would love that!
@@sharontisherman7619Sames…
@@sharontisherman7619 yes, me too!!
I'm in the middle of a reno. I feel the pain. Never question a de-humidifier. That was a lot of water. One of my trades screwed up and my floor in one bedroom was soaked. My contractor came in with a wet vac, five buckets, of water sucked up.... a Humidifier and heater. Worked like a charm. But it still took a week.
Lydia’s posted! Possibly one of the only TH-camrs I still look forward to their posts ❤
Right? Me too😂😂😂
Same !!!
Literally
So so grateful for you all 🤍
@@lydiamillen the most beautiful soul ❤️
Ohhhh if it was me, I would turn that space into a library study! All the books. Also have you thought about putting the bar in a darker area so the all the light can flood in? You could treat it like a garden room with loungers.
This is definitely your year 🎉. Watching your videos has brought me lots of joy over the years. I’m so proud of you and your progression. Enjoy your moment.
Same !
This is so kind thank you x
Lydia you have no idea the difference you make to my Mondays and Thursdays 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾. In the midst of all the chaos that is my life, and the noises everywhere, your videos give me a minute to breathe and relax and let go of everything for those few minutes.
Same !
I’m so touched to know my content has helped in this way 🤍 lots of love x
@@lydiamillen haven't missed a video in yearsss ❤️😊
Omfg me too I love love her videos and they have literary changed my life my house looks spectacular because she encourages me...now I will organise me n my bf wardrobes because of this video
Hello. Fox poo tip. Tomato sauce removes and neutralises the smell of fox poo. Put on stinkiest areas, leave couple mins, rinse, proceed with dog shampoo. Voila!
👍
Works for skunk too.
Learned something! What about adding vinegar?
this basement situation reminds me of my favourite vlogmas of yours I believe it was 2017 when you had a plumbing problem in your old house so you had to go to gym to take a shower and you had a similar kind of approach to it, laughing about that glam life :D you still have that good humour in you
Soooo excited for the renovations! Okay, now let’s talk about those beautiful books and how your friend had your book embroidered. That is so special and beautiful! 😍
Totally agree💛so so special ✨✨✨
The mini heat wave we received recently lead to a lot of garden time and I’m almost finished reading Evergreen. It has been such a lovely read truly enlightening and uplifting. I usually read gritty academic books, or enjoy anything philosophical. But the delivery in this book of gently crafted inspiration that feels nourishing but so digestible and smooth. Has made for a wonderful experience! I just bought a book yesterday inspired by the notes in evergreen, called “around the world in 80 plants”. I can’t wait to continue with the spring reading. ❤
Hi =) Just want to share my mum's trick for a flooded flat: use a dustpan to shovel the water into a bucket. The plastic ones with the rubber strip at the front are perfect for this use. Using a silicone waterblade (squeegee) like a broom also makes things easier.
Thank you for being soo wellspoken and eloquent. Such a wonderful difference amongst all this....here on TH-cam. Love your kindness❤❤
Love Jo Good , so nice to see her on your channel .
Enjoyed the daylesford visited with you and Carrie .. And know how carrie feels when she gets cold.. I suffer the same illness and if I get too cold I become ill have been hospitalised and wrapped in tinfoil blanket..and breeze and I need a winter coat..that’s why I favourite Karen Millen.. coats they do nice spring colours well done Carrie for braving the Weather ..Lydia going to Try baking your nettle cake.. great watch.. ❤❤
Hi Lydia. I’m one of your older viewers and also follow Jo Good. Love you both for inspiration! 🥰
Wow beautiful thoughtful gifts from your dear friends.
I must say, I was so captivated by your demeanor and reaction to the wet basement. You had the don't stress about the small stuff/ carefree kind of vibe that I want in my life. I really need to read your book now!
Oohhhhh I love Jo Good, and her TH-cam channel.
Mealworms for that empty section of the chicken bucket. A great treat for them. We have a flock of about 30 chickens and they do love their mealworms.
Stoping my whole day ! Lydia Millen just uploaded ❤love you beautiful. You brighten my day.
How fun to work with a best friend. She's beautiful, smart and fun!!
The gifts are so very thoughtful and beautiful Lydia!
Oh my goodness, Lydia! I can’t believe the week that you had - between this blog and the last! That was absolutely jampacked, but what a lot of productivity, career highlights, and fun! Congratulations on everything.
I think Herringbone floor would look gorgeous Lydia, and it’s a still a traditional style. But you have to be happy with what you want in your beautiful house. Can’t wait to see it all come together. ❤
You remain one of my faves in TH-cam Lydia! 💋🥰❤️ Excited on the reveal in the future.
I am so grateful x
Oh Lydia this was such an iconic video for me; first I just started to go through my wardrobe and played this and what a treat, Second and more importantly I got an immersive amount of nostalgia because your wardrobe organization from four or five years ago was THE video that got me hooked to your channel and not only I did not miss any of your videos since I watched all the older ones too.
Wishing you all the good things🥰
You are an inspiration for me, truly. Thank you for sharing your days with us. What nail color / product do you use? I love how subtle, yet polished it is!
You should consider a wet/dry vacuum, they are very helpful.
Really enjoyed this vlog. Especially seeing how you’re adding more traditional materials to your contemporary house. We also have a similar house full of contemporary shapes and windows and exterior so I can appreciate seeing how you want to change the interior. I’m too scared to do such a drastic style change from my contemporary design 😊 happy to see how you go
Lydia up in the loft in your house Ali showed us where you house your air con pipes, you could wall it off with a door, then make a spare wardrobe space for storage of your clothes. Just a thought because I remember Ali being in there in one of his videos..
Loved this! I swear you went all northern with your ‘yeah’ when talking to Steve!
Lydia, the organizing of your wardrobe...be still my heart. I do mine twice a year, and it truly calms my soul. I feel so good afterward. My father used to say a tidy workspace = a tidy mind. The decision to have those expert Ladys do this for you in your busy life is worth every penny!
Yes, you do have an older audience 😄 I am 55yrs young and been around for years. I also love Jo. You both have lovely happy vibes. I have never used an organizer but you have been in my wardrobe with me on a number of occasions as I iron, organise and sort.
That was so cool you were on Jo Good's radio show. I am one of her You Tube subscribers and love her style and energy....I hope with your influence, Lydia, more people will follow her!! 🇨🇦❤️
Funny I’m watching this video today as I have been doing the exact same thing, wardrobe switch and packing away winter clothes and sifting through things we can sell. It’s job and a half 😅
Oh my goodness what a wonderful hour I’ve just spent with you . I am so pleased to have found your you tube channel as I found you on tik tok, but didn’t remember your name and could never find you again? So much to enjoy in there? The clothes girls and seeing the difference it has made to your wardrobe over all. We could all do with them coming to our houses for a sort out😂. Loved loved loved the time on the kitchen with the chef and hearing all about the freezing of the wild garlic and nettles for pesto! I will tell my daughter about that trick. And absolutely have fallen in love with your embroidered Evergreen book… how that has been done I don’t know, but so so fantastic and beautiful. I look forward to going back and watching some more of your videos now I’ve found you again
Thank you for being kind Lydia XXX
Which lipstick do you have on ? It looks amazing ! Like always ❤️🧿 You are such an inspiration Lydia 🥰 I would love to see a updated morning and evening routine video and also some casual outfits for running g errands and business outfits 😍
This video makes me feel very proud that I manage keep on top of my busy professional life as well as parent all by myself 😅 without an organisation company coming to do it for me!! 💪
Your book embroidered, so special!
Great vlog you have motivated me to clear out my closets this weekend!
A good spring cleanse x
I’m pretty sure The Lady was the magazine often mentioned in Downton Abbey whenever they needed to find new lady’s maids. They would place an ad in The Lady! Edit: I’m in the US and that is the extent of my knowledge of said magazine lol!
Wow had a light amount of an herbal oil on my fingers too that showed on the cover, and it broke my heart. Was afraid I couldn't join in on the book photos, but now I know talcum powder works! Thank you so very much Lydia! ❤
just thought how lovely, if possible, it would be to create even more outside space down there ... making it more outdoor indoor living esp with the terracotta brick tile
Thanks for making me learn and implement a new word into my vocabulary…cathartic
I loved watching the organising and I learnt new things from your foraging course
Oh, I so sorry about the leak! I can´t believe how calmly you two take it 🙀 I´m coming in London and can´t wait to get your book in my hands ❤
Why not change the set up? You said you needed a bigger office space, so why not put the office in the games room and the far less used games room becomes the old office?
Can I just say, with all the wonderful things this video gave me, I just love how much Porty is such a mummy's boy. He literally adores you Lydia, every video with you in he's never far from your side. Best doggie mummy there is and obvs not forgetting Lumi, she enjoys chatting with Mum too. Im so excited to watch the renovations & I also really enjoyed the interview with Jo. Always enjoy mondays & thursdays with you hope you never stop.
your comment made me smile from ear to ear x
Really enjoy her channel 🇮🇪
Ahhhh lydia the stunning cream lace dress i recall seeing it in your lovely engagement vlog❤❤❤❤
Soooo excited for the renovation 😊
Oh Lydia, you need to go meet Jo in London and meet her bulldog Myrtle. You will just love her.
Glad you used organizing services.. I have the same type of business here in NE Ohio.. Organized&Beautiful Life 😊
Can’t wait to see the basement renovation! We’ve just had brick herringbone laid in our house and it brings so much warmth, you’ll love it.
Could you tell me what grout and colour you used for your limestone in the kitchen and hallway please? Thanks!
We had flooding in our basement for several years - we had it fixed both outside and inside and we've never had it happen again. Sort the flooding out first. I speak of experience unfortunately!
Thank you for your talk on not letting unexpected events ruin your whole day and catastrophising. My LG fridge broke and started smoking late at night yesterday. I’m so worried about how the smoke fumes may have affected the family but I actually need to remember that we are all lucky that I was still awake when it happened and could deal with it. It’s difficult though not to let these thoughts of ‘what if’ consume the whole day. I hope that I can put your words into practice Lydia 😊 xx
Great vlog…love your content..sorry about the flood! Cooking class e learning more about wild greens e garlic was the best. You put me on to gardening I grow all my own herbs, tomatoes, peppers e flowers. Trying more seedlings, but I still learning! I thank you for that always enjoy you Lydia. Be well ❤
Could you do a section in a vlog of your favourite gardening books? Would be great, also they make great gifts for people, so would love some ideas.
Aha!! There is an attic!!! I've often wondered where all your clothes are! LOOOOL. This video was a real treat to see all the dresses again all at once! 😍😍😍😍
Lydia I have ordered Evergreen. Can't wait to read it😊. When is The Lady out with your interview please?
Dear Lydia, OMG, Carrie is such a hoot! I just love her - super sweet and always bringing that fun-filled, positive energy. Cheers to many more girls' events & trips for you and her. What a wonderful friend indeed. -Anjulika Chand (from Canada)
Closets look neat and organized 👍
Jo is really good 😊 I started following her after your vlog from the Sweed event.
Thank you Lydia let’s get Jo Good to 100k @MiddleAgedMInx she is fab
I can't wait for the renovation 🩷
Love love love your channel you keep growing and it’s incredible to watch and be a small part of your journey . Would you ever consider allowing us an insight into more of the business side of your life ?
That rain storm flooded all of our fields surrounding the village , it was a bad rain storm more than average.
Hi Lydia, new subscriber! I am digging into all your videos. Thanks so much for your genuine reviews and refreshing content ❤
Loved this video this evening! You are so good at what you do, very inspiring!! But I had to tell you, I was watching your vlog on the TV, my teenager arrived home after a long day at school and I told them I loved them and he just looked at the TV and said, " yeah, but you love Lydia more "😂😂. Teenagers !!!!
I ❤love your book 📚 I also have it on Audible and I am so happy that you are the one that is reading it. Your voice is calming and I read before I go to bed each night. I love your book. 📚💖💄💋🥰
Great vlog wow how fantastic to have someone organise your space is a dream come true love it totally ❤️❤️❤️👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿😍😍😍💯💯💯💯👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
The closet looks incredible! The beginning was so anxiety inducing but the finished product was so soothing!!
Having had water in a few of my homes. please learn from me, and hire a company to bring in a giant fan used for flooded homes. You are running a huge risk of having mold inside the walls. Seeing the bubbles on the wall If it were me I would hire a professional flood company. You don’t want to go to sell your house and find out you have mold. Now THAT is a huge expense as well as personal liability. You handled it much the way I have learned to, oh well, look at the little froggies, how cute. It doesn’t change anything to get yourself upset, except maybe being upset brings more problems. Good luck
Any idea where the waterproof, damp proof storage bags are from? So hard to find!
I’m so excited 😆 got my Sweed order I got both 💋 liners and Wild Rose 🌹 love them although I thought they where pinker on me they are more orange it’s ok because they are so good 💄💖🥰💋
❤goodness me. Hope the basement makes a full recovery. These things happen 😢
Interesting vlog Lydia , , watched your live the other day but I need to go back and watch it again and see if I’ve missed something, I wasn’t ready for it , but it said Lydia goin life , I was like, WHAT when now press the link ❤❤❤❤ you was amazing brilliant on a live you owt to do more !!!!

Well a girl can dream... this woman is totally blessed.
I love you and Carrie together 😂😂😂😂

Hello, what is the brand of the wedges you have in different colours? They look great!
I’ve been watching Middle age Minx JoGood first before you. She’s such a ‘good egg’ as are you too. My dose of UK and Cotswolds from Oz x
Traditional brick tiles for sure!!!! 😍
Lydia pls tell the model of your camera that you use for vlogging
Make sure you walk on your floor in bare feet, or do you keep your shoes on at all times? Thinking it will feel really horrible for inside flooring.
A Book of The Country and The Garden HM Batson; 1903 , Methuen&Co., London….. a classic to own🩷
Me watching Lydia’s collection of dresses like 👁️👄👁️. I love her style and absolutely everything she does!❤
Loved this. Please don't forget 🇨🇦 ...as I am sure you have many followers here ...when you say your American Audience....thank you. We love your IG, TIK TOK and of course your fabulous You Tube. ❤
I installed a dado rail in a lounge with a low ceiling. Big mistake as it made the ceiling look even lower.
Laughing at you using the short mop when it extends too funny xx
At least you can now say you have had a indoor swimming pool lydia ❤❤❤
Lydia always enjoy your relaxing vlogs...although I'm sure it's liking the Swan effect ( working like crazy under the surface) .... just a question ..what breed are those delightful expensive mutts 😊.. I'm thinking of my retirement plan and Walks 😊..
Where can we purchase items your getting rid of?
