    Emily & Matt should have a fixer up show!

    Biggest regret for us was putting pax wardrobes from IKEA in our bedroom, they are massive, they dominate the room and the doors fell off within a couple of years. Best thing we did was create a laundry room. The garage was converted into a extra room by the previous owners and we didn't really have a purpose for it but we put the dryer in there with baskets and big clothes horses and I love the fact that it's not all in my kitchen and I can shut the door on it 😊

    Fellow dog owner here- really jealous of your outside dog wash area! You forget to mention about it right next to your pantry where you can put the muddy stuff straight in the wash! ❤

    Your home looks incredible, really love it.
    My husband has put those light sensors in our hallway when you come in the door. which is great especially in winter when it’s dark early and you open the front door and the light comes on, stops trying to find the light switch when it’s dark.

    If your washing machine seems especially noisy it’s always worth checking if it needs levelling ( the feet will adjust by screwing/unscrewing them). Often that’s all that’s needed. Those anti vibration mats you’ve got look like a good idea too.

    Regarding mood lights, we have light bulbs (here in Sweden) that connects to an app and fits any kind of lamp designed for that size of bulb. The fun thing with those are that you don't need a specific outlet or somesuch. It works anywhere. The one in our living room is just with dimmer but the one in the bedroom has different mood seytings and such. Kind of expensive bulb but sooo worth it. Also it is a LED so points for that ;)

    That is such a good idea - shower controls not under the shower! Black window frames look stylish so the paint worked.😊

    Love your breakfast bar 👌 My regret is a pergola over our hot tub, looks great (if you live in a hot dry climate) but should have gone for solid roof as it rains so much in uk 🤦🏻‍♀️

  • @yascabot4711

    We moved into our new build late last year. It is a house we designed to fit around the curve of the land. One of our best decisions was to combine the laundry and the family bathroom and to have the toilet in a separate powder room.

    • @AceofRoses510
      @AceofRoses510 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes! We only have one bathroom and had to renovate it. We decided to make a literal water closet inside, for the toilet. It's made having one bathroom manageable.

  • @lindalomax5448
    @lindalomax5448 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    The best thing we did when extending 35 yrs ago was put in a laundry chute in our en-suite which happens to be above the utility. Biggest regret is letting my DH talk me into a handle less kitchen and so many drawers! I envy you your outside sink and the external hot tap. Would love that.

    Love watching all your stuff Emily . We’ve been renovating for 2 years now .. nothing as major as yours but we’re doing most of it ourselves and it’s driving me nuts now 🤪.. I’m laughing because I was was about to suggest you hang the big rugs over your bed ( something I use to do when I had a four poster) it’s so handy ! I also had glass made for my table and am planning on ordering for the bedsides desks etc . I’m taking lots of tips from you for my kitchen when it finally gets done ! Especially the breakfast/coffee station 😍

    Hey Emily, hope you’re all well. I’m happy, good and well thank you good evening love this Top home investments and regrets video. I’ve really enjoyed this Top home investments and regrets things. I love your dress! The black cooker tap and the kitchen is beautiful! Glass on top of the dinning table is handy to clean with the spray wipe and done and other glass cleaners too. I have the limited edition pink tulips and white jasmine scent and definitely smalls so good. Washable rugs are incredible to throw into the washing machine once they are dirty. Electric switches next to the sofa to charge phones or laptops too. I have a 4 plugs lead next to our sofa, so it easy to charge laptops and phones while I’m working on my laptop or phone. Chargeable mood lights make your downstairs look amazing at night time. Black window frames look great! The kitchen handles are so pretty and stunning. I love it when you put the shower dials next to the shelf and you don’t get wet and soaked. I love the bathroom shelf’s folding celling looks brilliant. Also the bedroom windows look so nice. Rail in the laundry room is really cool. Heated radiators are really lovely. I have a heated radiator in my bathroom is so handy because to hang things up. The hocks in the laundry room are fabulous. Automatic lights are great but I don’t have automatic lights in my bathroom. I have a normal light in my bathroom. I have drawers in my kitchen and they are so good to see what things I have at back of the drawers as well.

    Awsome Idea 💡 we have an automatic light switch for the bathroom saves some $$$ because with kids or even adults they forget to turn off the lights. And as always every one has the oh man I should of painted this color or done this rug but you live and learn and later on you can always change them when ware out 😊

    • @AceofRoses510
      @AceofRoses510 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's not common to use a clothes dryer in much of Europe. A huge perk is that clothes last longer when you just hang dry. And the energy bill of course. I spent over a decade in Germany; upon returning to the US, it feels weird to use a clothes dryer. I don't own one, even tho we're a family with small children.
