Breaking tasks down is really important for productivity. It can reduce executive dysfunction and procrastination. I always like to remind myself of the Desmond Tutu quote “there is only one way to eat an elephant: one bite at a time.” Not great for a vegan channel but the point is, breaking things down into easy steps makes mammoth tasks manageable.
Very true!!
Maddy, you are beautiful; you look beautiful with or without make up. Besides ..videos like this are needed; we need to start destigmatizing clean faces...I also don't feel comfortable in a clean face, and I absolutely love seeing people who do (you) because you give me confidence, so thank you 😊 💜 and thank you for sharing with us . I love how your living room is looking so far. I can not wait to see the end result! 💜
I just wanted to say how much I am enjoying your vlogmas, I'm find myself looking forward to them, and I see the notification pop up and look forward to my me Time when my one year old has gone to bed. You really are smashing it, you are amazing. Sending good vibes your way and hope this message makes you realise the difference you make in our lives 🥰
Thank you so much this means a lot to me ❤️
Your one of my favorites, it doesn’t matter how you look, you don’t have to wear makeup, I haven’t wore any in year and really don’t care what people think… love the lamps..
Could you do a dinner chat as one of the videos leading up to christmas. Like you or you and Alex eating dinner, chatting and answering questions, almost a q&a. I would love that :) 🌲❄️🧡
The fact that you're managing vlogmas and a renovation astounds me! You look amazing as you are Maddie, thanks for that pep talk about the gym, with Christmas kicking off in Melbourne Australia after the longest lockdown ever, I've basically forgotten to exercise cause work has been so hectic, I'm so ready to get back into gym sessions thanks for the motivation! I love the colours of the living room, beautiful style to match the cottage feel cant wait to see the finished look!
Greetings from Nova Scotia!🇨🇦. We love your channel/videos because of your authentic presentation! Be yourself - that’s what we love!
Thank you so much!
I think the height of the wall lights is good. It seems to fit with the age of the house when they used to light oil or gas lights. The colour of the shelves will work nicely with the botanical design in your curtain fabric.
Your pep talk about 'being stronger than we think we are' is just what I needed. You are going to be so proud of yourself after you complete your vlogmas goals, such an accomplishment. Also you are spreading so much JOY this holiday season! Thanks for the pep talk! I am going to go accomplish a lot today!
Do everything in bite-size chunks my life coach said. And celebrate often.
I'm so glad that you're feeling empowered with the gym. Remember that feeling whenever you're feeling down, because sometimes motivation comes after you do the things, not before.
❤️❤️❤️
Love the green shelves
Prefer a TV at eye level with no crick in my neck!
Literally love watching your vlogs- so down to earth and relatable, love how you show real life the ups and downs, you’re just fab xx
Aww thank you so much!
You are so contagiously positive! But also realistic and honest which is really helpful for those of us watching/getting inspired. :)
Beautiful lights
I do it with housework. I think to myself I'll do the upstairs and kitchen and then it takes me so long to do one room I don't get round to the others and then I feel like I've been unproductive. Now I try to break it down (mentally, I don't write to do lists). So instead of saying I'll do the kitchen I think I'll load the dishwasher, then I'll fold the teatowels and then I'll wipe the fridge down. Then I treat myself to a break and a brew
You can use avocado oil for the bags under your eyes. It makes wonders , even for me at my sixties
Gorgeous lamps. They would be lovely above/below a painting. Dreaming of having my own house to do up! Watched this a while back but forgot to comment. All your videos just make my day lol. Especially Vlogmas, love having so many Vlogs, love the everyday videos!
Your vlogs are so warm and cozy and I'm thoroughly enjoying them! xx
Thank you so much!
You, dearie, are lovely and a true natural stunner...beautiful inside and out...and THAT is actually rare.
Awww thank you so much ❤️
You are beautiful with or without makeup. Those wall sconces!!! Love them. Excited to see the room done...you'll get there soon enough. Cheers for now.
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
I always wondered how people paint so quickly too! Then I bought my house and the prep and clean up was more work than actually painting. Also my walls are slightly textured, not flat so it is easier to hide imperfections (no sanding). Plus we use eggshell finish which is more even than flat paint ( I hate flat matte) btw you have really pretty natural features so I forget you aren’t wearing makeup lol💖
Thank you so much! Yeah it boggles my mind these quick makeovers. Like HOW?!?
Your vids have become part of my morning routine- coffee, toast and Maddi!! 😄
Aww this makes me very happy!
Loving the more raw day-to-day life vibes of vlogmas!!
Also, for your lamps you could always hang them upside down. Then use the lightbulb to hold the shade on (shade right side up). I think because they are pretty symmetrical fixtures it could work!
Too funny! My Willow chewed my mouth guard for my teeth too a few weeks ago! Going back to one of your other videos, I loved seeing how you bleached your kitchen beams. We have very large and some very dark stained beams in our old home. I feel it might be daunting to sand, bleach, and stain like you did. I washed them down once with a cleaner and they did drip a lot of color, but I've been thinking of color washing them, somewhat like the stain you used, to see if I can lighten some of them or I might do a faux painting technique. I love seeing someone else tackling a lot of their own DIY projects. I got off my butt and tackled a project that was looming after watching your kitchen video. Our kitchen design is in the works and I loved seeing what you did. I subscribed last night and will be binge watching and listening as I paint and wallpaper our 1790 home Hugs from in New England.
These videos are lovely, and so much more inspiring to me than the “presto, it’s dome” unrealistic decor videos.
I’m loving Vlogmas Madeleine I think your the only one (that I watch anyway) to do 7 days and I’m just loving them. Ive literally loved everyday, I love your home, your life and your so inspiring, you really make me want to get up and get stuck into anything I need to get done and I always feel amazing after for doing it. Keep up the great work lovely lady. Also your beautiful just the way you are. ♥️♥️
I recently added very similar sconces to my dining room and according to Google the recommended placement for sconces is 60 inches. I obviously don't know that height that you have your wiring, but I think yours might be a bit high. Side note, I love your aesthetic and am actually in the process of changing my decor to go with an English cottage vibe, so I'm really loving the inspiration!
Almost feel bad that my "me time" is NOT going to the gym but watching your videos :D And I haven't had any me time to watch your vlogmasses yet! I finally picked this one at random and it's so fun!!! I love this simple style video. Ah I think your home is looking so gorgeous! The paintings you decorated with are PERFECT!!! & so glad someone else is just realizing the benefit of breaking things into steps; I've got to actually figure out how long things take me too so I won't keep giving myself too much to do each day. Anyway what a fun and festive vid, thank you for sharing xxxxx and thanks for the reminder to check FB marketplace for paintings, which I'm going to do right now despite not having a single spare bit of wall in my room!
Hi maddy we moved house last Thursday, finally feel organised n not knackered, it's a doer upper n it's awful, if it wasn't Christmas I'd b painting living room right now😁
this feels like a reality show, Im just waiting for the great finale Full House Tour. 🙌🏼
Putting in a new set of aligners hurts but it is nothing compared to the pain of having your braces tightened by the dentist. :'o I've had both experiences and I would choose aligners every time.
I just started my Invisalign a month ago. The pain does get way better over time. Now I just feel slight pressure when I change to my next set and can eat solid foods again. I was on soft food for about 2 weeks. I hate the branded case they give you. It feels like a puzzle to get the aligners to fit. I bought a new one off amazon that works way better. I also recommend a pul tool if they didn't give you one. Feels way more sanitary to use that in public vs my hands. Your house is coming together so nice!!
I used a little plastic spatula to remove my Invisalign. Using your hands can permanently damage your nails. x
I'm on the home stretch (last four sets) of invisiline at the mo. Weirdly nice to hear about other people doing it too.
The lamps are beautiful but I would put it somewhere else if it has to be that high up, because as you said, it's not as pretty if you see up into it. It would've looked good in the bookshelves if it weren't for the actual shelves you're putting in lol. Or on the walls next to the bookshelves :) you'll figure it out!!
Loving your living room progress 👌🏻 don't tire yourself out too much! 🎄💝
I love your videos. I love that you do so much more than just food videos. It keeps things exciting. You do such a great job on everything you do. Thank you for all your hard work. I really appreciate having your channel to watch.
Love the oil painting I could spend my life on the sea. Those veggies looked very tasty
You don’t need to wear make up or do your hair in a pacific way because you have tons of subscribers you are what people want to see not fake or trying too hard. Just love seeing all your renovations and your doing an amazing job. Keep being you that’s what all your subscribers love ❤️❤️❤️ xx
I'd shift the sconces elsewhere and use a different lamp at that height, because it would bug me forever. But the person who has to live with it and love it is you, and you know best what it actually looks and feels like in the room, so if you're fine with it then that's all that matters.
Oh your shelves are going to look so lovely when filled with books against that green!
I don't know if you're familiar with Alice Liveing's podcast Give Me Strength, but I think you'd really enjoy it. She bases it around your train of thought 💖
The solution for the lamps is to get a lined lampshade if you don"t want to see the white.
Those lights are beautiful. I personally would move them down some. Not as far down as you were holding it. I'd see if you like it at about shoulder height. Just my 2 cents.😁 Looking forward to next Vlog.
I'm really enjoying your vlogmas video's! Thank you for all the time and effort you put into it :)
Ha ha, that’s standard for Invisalign Madeleine. You eventually get used to guarding your aligners with your life. 😉 xx
:) I always over strech myself. Trying to get out of that habit as well.
You could always paint the inside of your lamp shade? Still think that adding nailing trim piece to the front of each shelf would help finish them off❤️✨ be kind to yourself
Hey Maddie my husband and I both like the wall lamps you picked out. We like the color you picked for the bookcases.🌲☃️❤
Thank you!
Check how you feel about the lamps when you are sat at sofa height
Wow the pep talk about being stronger than you think you are is so inspiring 😍 thank you!! 🥰
The painting is gorgeous !
Seems a little high for the lamp .....(just my opinion)
Oh wow those lights are amazing 🥰
Imagine getting the inside of the lights lined with a fun fabric 😍 even William Morris decoupage paper 😍
Your living room is looking great, loving your vlogmas! I would be so tempted to sand the floors just to finish it off before Christmas 🙈😬☺️xx
When I get a notification that you have uploeded a video, my happy time begins 📸❣️🍊♥️🥳.😘.🥰🤩❤️
Happy Christmas 🎄⛄
At that point maybe vertical light would be better because you are going to hang something underneath,no?
Love all these videos. Inspiring kick up the bum to get on with my own projects.
FYI on discomfort with Invisilign; toothpaste in the liners over night helps take the edge off 👍🙂
Lower the lamp a half or 3/4 arm length and the lighting will be fine.
Could you paint that plastic part the same colour as the lamp so if u do see it by any chance it’s clean looking.
Loving getting so many videos from you over vlogmas! I liked your decor in the previous house so much more though. You mention wanting to go for timeless pieces of decor, but this farmhouse chic already feels dated in 2021. I recommend Caitlin Shoemaker's house tour. She has a different style of building of course, but I think she's done an outstanding job at tying in contemporary pieces with more traditional ones. Best of luck with the rest of the paint job!
I think Maddie doesn’t want to get sucked in with what’s trendy now. I have been in the design field, I think people should live with what brings them in their comfort zone, and they shouldn’t choose pieces because it is in style now, or worry if it is dated, nothing is dated if it fits the style and era of the house. From years of experience I know people like creating their own style and that’s what makes everyone unique in their own way. I think Maddie is doing a lovely job with her home, I especially am envious of her beautiful comfortable homey kitchen.
@@jadeartfx It's true that one should make their home look and feel as they see fit. She did have quite a different, more elevated style not so long ago, and I merely want to point out that as with everyone, our taste changes. And maybe it is not worth overcommitting to creating a granny's cottage so full on and make it a bit more interesting, or less cream / magnolia yellow. Better for the wallet and for Maddie in 2 years time, I can guarantee. But then we get reno content when they change everything again, so we win either way :)
It’s interesting how everyone’s tastes are very different because I actually think the decor in my previous home was me learning my way with interiors and when I look back, a little boring. There was very little colour, but also it was a small cottage with very low ceilings so required a different style of decorating. This house I would hate to look “farmhouse chic” because that really isn’t my style at all. Instead I just want it to look timeless and lived in. Like it has always been this way. Caitlin’s house looks absolutely stunning! But as you say, a totally different home and totally different style of interior design. Maybe people will think my end result is old fashioned because I’m just not keen on contemporary interiors, but I’m living here haha so I guess it doesn’t matter much!
You’re pretty with or without makeup! Don’t be so hard on yourself. In real life people don’t have a full face on 24/7. It’s totally ok not to
I have never wore makeup, I focus more on skincare so I tend to not even notice if someone isn’t wearing makeup. You look beautiful with or without makeup😍
what a nice notification its could be amazing another video as always to be like ily madeleine
That reminds me of my dog eating my dads false teeth 😱 🤣 the little madam!
Great vlogs,beautiful homely home 💟x
Get a longer lampshade 🤩
You are beautiful with or without make-up but let's not kid ourselves we all look better(and therefore feel better)with make-up.
What's the name of the tv frame company please
Would be interested in the ‘frame company’ you mentioned for the tv but cant see the link. Could you give us the name? Great video by the way 🥰
Have added it for you!
@@MadeleineOlivia thank you
i'm so jealous of your facebook marketplace finds. my fb marketplace is just 5-10 fake profiles advertising the same furniture blowout store. they spam the free tab and reporting them does nothing, not even blocking them. it's just pages and pages of the same images of a sofa and washer/dryer. if you do get a real post, 9/10 times it's super overpriced. seen one of those peacock chairs for $3000. so annoying.
I find this too its so irritating
😘
💛💛💛
Yr pretty so don't need makeup
you should probably have blurred that phone number :P
