Awe Kay you're doing an amazing job, can't wait to see transitions. Totally agree with you on lighting and colour. And it's you're taste that matter it's you're home. ❤❤❤
This viewer from the US watches not because of your cottage, but because of YOU, Kay! Oh, and the cats, of course. Love all you do and your slow living spirit. ❤ Your home is coming together so well, and it's going to be just beautiful. Oh, and I love that you sewed those curtain seems by hand!
Hi, I know you had a lot of cleaning to do, but the quality of the fittings etc, look really good 👍. I live in Spain, when you buy a property here quite often they remove the light fittings and kitchen units. You have to make sure that what you want needs to be included. I think you’ve got a lovely family home. Xx 😘
I’m new to your channel but wanted to tell you your home is so beautiful! You have such a wonderful warm personality. I’m so glad that your videos were suggested to me. I am American and it’s so neat to see how other countries and people are different but the same. I’m from Texas and live a simple life. Congratulations on your new home. ❤
Warmest congratulations it's absolutely beautiful, you certainly know how to make a house a home. I'd consider moving the kitchen dresser up to the left and put a nice sitting chair by the back window where the kitchen dresser currently is. That would make a lovely cozy place to sit. Enjoy your amazing new home and making memories. Thank you for sharing XX
Thank you so much 🥰 I really love the idea of a chair in that space, maybe once our little one is not using his highchair anymore we will do this as it would be a great use of that space. xx
@@Livingthelifeyoulove You are so kind to reply. Thank you so much. I've always been a quiet viewer but I just wanted to warmly congratulate you all on your beautiful home and I know you will have it to your taste over time. I live in Sydney Australia and I love watching cozy, English homes. And yours is just perfect. Thank you again for replying to me, that was very special XX
I was thinking similar thing, i think the dresser would be nicer if it was centered and not in one of corners, you could still have the highchair on the left like it is now and move it closer to the table when needed 😊
It’s lovely to see you settling into your new home, and great job on your cleaning. You have a wonderful speaking voice that draws me into watching your channel. So good luck for the future. 😅
Oh I love your personality and the slow down mindset! So impressed of your hand sewing! I saw the tour of your new home and was surprised about how messy the seller left it! In Sweden where I live it is the seller who is responsible for hiring someone to clean or doing the cleaning themself before the new owner moves in. It is called moving cleaning there need to clean every little inch of the home. But I love your energy when you tackled the dirt, so happy and so full of joy😍 I hope your will have a wonderful time in your new home. Merry Christmas and happy new year to all of you🌲✨🎅
Hi Kay...just watching this vid with great interest. Lovely to see you in your new home. Was fascinated to see Dom building your new Ikea round dining table...same as mine! 😂 Wanted to share a great tip I picked up from Emily Norris: invest in heavy duty tempered glass cover for the table! So easy to keep clean while protecting your table top. And as your babe grows up, you'll find the glass table top so easy to keep clean - food, paints, crayons, felts, etc. I think mine cost in the region of £250 - best money we spent in 2022!!!
I have depression and two physical illnesses that would possibly stop me from doing and end of tenancy clean but I would make sure I had the money put by to get a company in to clean the house if I moved out, no excuse 😳 The house is beautiful and I can’t wait to see what you do with it. I love that sideboard and the weeding tool is something I need in my life 😀 I had to laugh when your cat walked on the wet floor, mine can be fast asleep and not have moved for several hours but if I mop a floor they instantly wake up and walk all over it 😀
We moved into our 'new build' 4 years ago, as the second owners. We have slowly brought a cottage style in and have loved developing it slowly, a similar style to yours. I'm sure you will make your home cosy very quickly, and transformed into your style in time. Enjoy the process x
Kay, I have to say you are my most favourite you tuber. You are so down to earth and humble. It's so refreshing to watch someone who isn't what i call 'samey' like other you tubers who live such Beige lives in every way and feel they need to keep up with each other. I no longer watch people like that. You truly are a breath of fresh air and the sweetest lady. I always feel so calm and relaxed watching your videos, you really are someone I can relate to. Never stop being you! 💕💞💗💓
I'm so glad that you upload on Saturdays. Many people choose Sundays but it is usually Saturday that is my slow start and rest day! ❤ I'm so happy for your new home, I love the energy and atmosphere that you create in your homes too. xx
Aww i'm so glad to hear that. I used to upload on Sundays but I thought, well, this way people can choose when to watch in their weekend. Thank you so much xx
Having a virtually untouched garden can be a real boon! Many years ago I got the idea from gardener Bunny Guiness to make a path round the outside of a good-sized garden like you have - not only easier for you to get at the fences for maintenance but that energetic little boy will soon want to ride his cars, trike, scooter, bike and having a „track“ round the outside keeps things under control and you can make your actual garden with grass and flowers etc. inside those parameters - it doesn‘t need to be a very wide path. I think in the original plan there was a row of rose arches to make a tunnel over part of the path, too… Also good for people with dogs who need to stretch their legs or get zoomies 😂
My daughter Emma and I love watching your channel! We are from NC in the states. We love the warmth and peace your channel reflects and always look forward each week to your videos. Congratulations on your new home!
I’ve watched you for a while now but am usually silent. I’m so happy for you! Your new home is lovely. You are such a precious soul and so sweet. Dom and your little one are so blessed to have you in their lives I wish you many blessings beautiful lady ❤️
Kay! your excitement and sheer joy, of being in your new home, just shines through! It's such an exciting time for you all, and for your son to have the outside garden space, will be lovely! You are loving your home back to life-the best is yet to come! look forward to seeing your vision becoming reality! lots of love, sue xxx
Oh Kay, we Americans don’t watch you for cute little British cottage home and styles. We watch you for you. We love you. Your new home looks beautiful now that you’re in it. Congratulations!
Interesting idea!! I will definitely look into that, I couldn't believe how many handles we had when I started counting them to price up changing them 🤣
I agree! It's a lovely colour. I just feel white is more my style so will see how it looks. I could always paint it back to brown after if I think it looked better ❤️
Congrats on achieving so much, the house already looks like a home ❤ maybe to take away from the box feeling and give character, some coving on the ceilings - b&q have some good ones. Enjoy this new chapter 😊
Loved you bringing us along for more settling into the house! I've learned a lot in the way of sewing from Bernadette Banner, too! When we moved into our house a few years ago, it was pretty clean but I cleaned it anyway. It just felt more like "my home" when I did the cleaning myself!😊 And I made curtains for all the windows and took down the dirty blinds. What a difference! I think painting the kitchen cabinets would look very nice, and adding new handles/hardware. I'm so happy for you and know you will add much new character to this home. Frankly, those stairs in the other place scared me after you had your little boy!😮
Hey Kay for the garden re: trees, look into tree like shrubs like Robina (Red Robin) - we have 2 and gorgeous changing colour all year around. Great height and awesome for privacy. We also have Salix (Flamingo) trees which are light and airy but provide lovely gentle privacy and look stunning all year around. If you can only have a few trees, it's worth getting ones that are more evergreen as they look great all year! Also great are Laurel as it provides awesome coverage and privacy as well. You can plant some stuff now while it's still autumn if you know where etc. Start with trees and big shrubs first which will anchor the garden and go from there. Enjoy! You have a great space!
The house is looking beautiful. How about some botanical prints on the dining room wall? They would tie in with the cottagey, shabby chic look and would look lovely with the green that you’ve got going on in the house. 🌿🌱
Soo happy for you both xx love your easy going vlogs. It’s already started to feel like home may you make make happy new memories as a family in you new home xx xx xx
Definitely think the tv would look better above the fireplace as it is more central, everything is coming along nicely, love the sideboard. Wishing you, Dom and your little boy many happy years in your lovely new home not forgetting the furbabies.
I agree! I was worried it would maybe be too high, but it would be high on the sideboard anyway, but at least that way it's out of reach of little fingers 🤣
Hi please can you tell me what the green paint you used is in your little boys bedroom please? Love the new house, you will make it into a lovely home! 😊
Yay for net curtains!. They really are the best for letting in light, for privacy and for keeping fresh and clean. Love your plans and amazed at your progress so far.
Aren't they gorgeous! Love the soft light they give. I always feel like saying 'net curtains' sounds like it's going to look dated but they really don't have to be do they 😍 We're on a bit of a mission as you can tell... 🤣
Hey Kay, another silent viewer over here!🥰 Just commenting as I’ve been in a similar situ myself RE kitchen cupboards. I’ve just had our kitchen re-tiled and I’ve now realised how crazy much of a difference it makes to a room! So much so, I actually quite like our kitchen cupboards now haha and won’t be getting them spray painted. I think adding tiles like ‘Acton taupe’ from Topps Tiles and antique-y brass handles to your kitchen could give you the vibe you’re after and in turn actually liking your cupboard and worktop as it would all tie-in together nicely. Just a suggestion of course if you’re currently exploring options.☺️ Loving your videos too!✨
The house is really coming along. I called Echo 35:42 when he was on the table. He was surveying his kingdom. And you made me laugh about being 30. I just turned 60 two days ago. Everyone is different. You like homemaking and the things that go along with it. I have been on vacation this week. Home is my happy place. If I could, I would not work outside of it. Lovely video. ❤
Your house is looking beautiful!! I moved into a bungalow, and it was just over a year ago, and you look so much more organised than me. I have downsized, and there is very little storage space! 😲😩 so consequently my daughter and I are still unpacking, and trying to find a space to put everything. So believe me, you have done brilliant,,, and you have two cats, and young baby. Good for you getting through what you have. Big hugs to you, I am so happy for you both. ❤❤
Hi Kay. The house is looking so lovely and Im like you, not keen on modern. Love the cottage feel and love voile /net curtains and tie backs.Youll get there and youve made such progress. Well done x
New subscriber here, Kay. I love your videos. I wish you and your family many happy years in your beautiful new home. Enjoy this stage of life with your little one. They grow so fast. My youngest is near 30 ! Can't believe how quickly time flies. I'm twice your age, and we will be downsizing within the next 6 months. Im trying to rehome a few items each day with trips to the charity shops and the tip.. Exciting times !
I can see you are settling into your new home,it looks lovely..You are making your house a home..And i know you & Dom will in time make your garden beautiful how you want it...All the very best wishes for your new home...☕️🌹🌺😀
Very nice. I love your shabby chic idea. You can reutilize lots of furniture in order to keep that style. The style is all yours. Congratulations to you 2. ❤
i like country modern minimal style and we live in a 1960ts bungalow which is a great size but needed lots of things changing we have done some of the rooms but its ongoing like your house will be it does take time to get what you really want x
So beautiful. Your home is coming together so nicely. I think the Samsung frame TV should be above the fireplace, it would be a lot more symmetrical since your eye draws to the middle of the room!
It's all coming together. Give yourself time everything will settle. Of course cats love cupboards and boxes.lol. It's nice to see they have settled in too. xx
Congratulations on your new home! 🏡 It’s beautiful and perfect for your sweet little family. I’m just sorry it was left so dirty for you. I’m looking forward to seeing what you do with it. Sending love from North Carolina, USA… 💗
Just love your videos, Kay! It’s becoming a new Sunday tradition for me to sit down with a cup of tea and enjoy a new Living the life you love video. I’ve never done vlogging and can’t imagine how much work it is to manage that and live a very full, busy life. I appreciate your hard work and enjoy going along on your adventures. Don’t stress about the content. Just pick up the camera and bring it along when it feels right. I’ve yet to see a video from you that didn’t bring me peace or joy. So excited for you guys in this new chapter! 💛
Happy new home ❤. I love sewing. It’s really helpful when you are mum to a little boy! The amount of school shirt repairs and trousers that need taking up!!! Life skills. ❤
I have a cupboard (quite a tall one) in the corner of my little sitting room, and I have the tv on top of it - it is on my far wall - and my sofa is on the other far wall, and I find it is just perfect for watching the tv, and the screen does not seem to take over the room at all, as it is high up. Love your sideboard, and as you said, that was a real bargain, and adds the character to the room that you are after. xxx
Love this! I'm hoping it will all come together in the end, just have to trust the process in the meantime don't you. Oh i'm so pleased with the sideboard, it's exactly what I envisioned. ❤️
I love my Vileda spin mop, dries so quickly and the mop heads can go into the washing machine for cleaning. You’re getting it sparkly clean, so satisfying! 😌
Love watching you make your beautiful home Kay. You have great ideas and enthusiasm. I too love to layer blinds , floaty net and curtains at my windows. Your garden is a blank canvas to work at cant wait to see it develop and grow. 😊😊
Kay, we really like the new table the way the middle piece fits inside. Good find on the sideboard. 👍👍❤❤ We are sure you will make your home cozy and give it a cottage feel.
Hello Kay love this house and your style is going to transform it into a home.I would paint the sideboard and have the tv central above the fire so it would be central.I would put the dresser in the kitchen where the high chair is and have a small accent chair where you have the dresser .Hope you have many wonderful years in your new home and thank you for sharing this journey with us.xx
Can't wait to get the sideboard painted I think it'll really brighten up that corner of the room. Love hearing your thoughts about the fire too. I think in time we will do what you said about the accent chair in the kitchen, once we're not using that space for the highchair. So fun making a space feel like home 😍🥰
I, for whatever reason didn't get any notifications for ages...went onto your page to see what had happened and found you are moving house!!! Am so pleased and have binge watched it up to date. Love the new sideboard and I actually love the colour it is but understand the white if you are painting the wall. Love the feel of the house and looking forward to next week...
Hi Kay your home is looking so cosy already! your cats look like they have settled in too! Beautiful sideboard! love the home content and variety of your vlogs thank you!
Love the cupboard/ sideboard Kay will look amazing white against the colour you chose for the walls 💜it takes time to make changes to a house to make it a home...you will get there 💜you did a wonderful job on those sheer curtains nice and neat 💜 and the garden will be a lovely place for your little boy to run around in and for Rory & Echo 💜 have a lovely weekend xx💜xx
I love the direction you're going in your new home! Love the new table (I have the same one). It's so versatile. Meanwhile, I just painstakingly hand weeded my entire patio (I just posted the video yesterday) and I could have just used boiling water! 😩 Anyway, looking forward to seeing all of your house and garden projects!
You've really made so much progress in settling in and making your lovely new home really yours. What a wonderful sideboard - and what a bargain! I'm enjoying watching you organize and clean - it keeps me motivated to do the same! Have a wonderful week.
Well done Kay and Dom, how hard you have worked. It is all beautiful, l could move in tomorrow! So very pleased for you all. It can’t be anything else but cosy very soon with Kay at the helm !
The kitchen units look more green than grey on camera. If they are more grey and you wanted to soften it you could add touches of pink which might make it more to your taste
Oh Kay, that flickering clock on the cooker would drive me bonkers! House looking fabulous. I think a low round bowl with flowers would look better on your new table. Something fishbowl shaped. Oops, I should MMOB!
As Linda said it's just the frame rate of the camera causing it to flicker, IRL it doesn't. Interesting idea about the low bowl, i'll have to try it and see! 😊

So easy to keep clean while protecting your table top. And as your babe grows up, you'll find the glass table top so easy to keep clean - food, paints, crayons, felts, etc.
I think mine cost in the region of £250 - best money we spent in 2022!!!
You did really well with the challenges of your new house. Your positively was inspiring. Stay blessed
I have depression and two physical illnesses that would possibly stop me from doing and end of tenancy clean but I would make sure I had the money put by to get a company in to clean the house if I moved out, no excuse 😳

Congratulations on your beautiful new home! We have the same kitchen units except ours have wood worktops and a different finish on the handles 😊
If you are putting up nets you measure the width of your window and doubled it to give you enough gather unless you want it straight
Kay, if you're ok with the shape of the kitchen cabinet handles, just spray paint them. You could have them done and back on in one day. X
I forgot to say, I love the black handles they go with your dresser. X
My daughter Emma and I love watching your channel! We are from NC in the states. We love the warmth and peace your channel reflects and always look forward each week to your videos. Congratulations on your new home!

You are loving your home back to life-the best is yet to come! look forward to seeing your vision becoming reality! lots of love, sue xxx
Some warm wood tones in your kitchen would look nice. Chopping boards, candlesticks, maybe a wood board on the table with the flowers and a candle
Oh Kay, we Americans don’t watch you for cute little British cottage home and styles. We watch you for you. We love you. Your new home looks beautiful now that you’re in it. Congratulations!
Spray the handles in the kitchen. Works great and very economical.
I did mine and they have lasted a long time.
Everything looks lovely 😊
Interesting idea!! I will definitely look into that, I couldn't believe how many handles we had when I started counting them to price up changing them 🤣
@@Livingthelifeyoulove even if it's just a temporary solution, it will let you focus on other things.
Try Rustoleum. 🙂
I second this! We did that and it worked well for years until we redid the kitchen! Way more affordable than buying new ones 😊
Awe Everything in this video is two CUTE Kay You all did really good job xx Loved this!🥺💖
The wall space in your dining room would be a lovely space for a picture wall to showcase your little boys artwork x x
Such a lovely idea 🥰
The sideboard looks so lovely the colour it is now
I agree! It's a lovely colour. I just feel white is more my style so will see how it looks. I could always paint it back to brown after if I think it looked better ❤️
Congrats on achieving so much, the house already looks like a home ❤ maybe to take away from the box feeling and give character, some coving on the ceilings - b&q have some good ones. Enjoy this new chapter 😊

I agree! I was worried it would maybe be too high, but it would be high on the sideboard anyway, but at least that way it's out of reach of little fingers 🤣

Everyone is different. You like homemaking and the things that go along with it. I have been on vacation this week. Home is my happy place. If I could, I would not work outside of it. Lovely video. ❤
Called King. My phone acted weird. Sorry.
You are just so gentle and lovely my darling !!! xxx
Beautiful your home is coming along nicely ❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊Have a wonderful week
Congratulations on the beautiful house! 💐
Your house is looking beautiful!! I moved into a bungalow, and it was just over a year ago, and you look so much more organised than me.

Hi Kay. The house is looking so lovely and Im like you, not keen on modern. Love the cottage feel and love voile /net curtains and tie backs.Youll get there and youve made such progress. Well done x
Put a clean mop head on and wash all your walls and skirting boards with the mop and bucket much quicker x
I love the side board color now!😊
I love a clean and tidy, organised home x

I can see you are settling into your new home,it looks lovely..You are making your house a home..And i know you & Dom will in time make your garden beautiful how you want it...All the very best wishes for your new home...☕️🌹🌺😀
Very nice. I love your shabby chic idea. You can reutilize lots of furniture in order to keep that style. The style is all yours. Congratulations to you 2. ❤
Thank you 🥰 It's fun seeing my visions come to life! ❤️
Looks lovely, great to see you hand sewing, I learnt from my grandma but I'm nearly 60 now, definitely a dying art.😊
I love the cottage farm house look. you doen so well kay house looks beautiful x
i like country modern minimal style and we live in a 1960ts bungalow which is a great size but needed lots of things changing we have done some of the rooms but its ongoing like your house will be it does take time to get what you really want x
Loving your new home it's coming together beautifully xx
Thank you so much xx
So beautiful. Your home is coming together so nicely.
I think the Samsung frame TV should be above the fireplace, it would be a lot more symmetrical since your eye draws to the middle of the room!
It's all coming together. Give yourself time everything will settle. Of course cats love cupboards and boxes.lol. It's nice to see they have settled in too. xx
Congratulations on your new home! 🏡 It’s beautiful and perfect for your sweet little family. I’m just sorry it was left so dirty for you. I’m looking forward to seeing what you do with it. Sending love from North Carolina, USA… 💗
Your love and care for your family and new home is so lovely to see ❤ I hope you all have many happy years and memories in your beautiful new home x
Your new home is looking beautiful. The side board is stunning 🥰 xx
I love your cabinet as it is ❤
Just love your videos, Kay! It’s becoming a new Sunday tradition for me to sit down with a cup of tea and enjoy a new Living the life you love video. I’ve never done vlogging and can’t imagine how much work it is to manage that and live a very full, busy life. I appreciate your hard work and enjoy going along on your adventures. Don’t stress about the content. Just pick up the camera and bring it along when it feels right. I’ve yet to see a video from you that didn’t bring me peace or joy. So excited for you guys in this new chapter! 💛
Happy new home ❤. I love sewing. It’s really helpful when you are mum to a little boy! The amount of school shirt repairs and trousers that need taking up!!! Life skills. ❤
I have a cupboard (quite a tall one) in the corner of my little sitting room, and I have the tv on top of it - it is on my far wall - and my sofa is on the other far wall, and I find it is just perfect for watching the tv, and the screen does not seem to take over the room at all, as it is high up. Love your sideboard, and as you said, that was a real bargain, and adds the character to the room that you are after. xxx
Love this! I'm hoping it will all come together in the end, just have to trust the process in the meantime don't you. Oh i'm so pleased with the sideboard, it's exactly what I envisioned. ❤️
Love seeing you settling in!! ❤️
I love my Vileda spin mop, dries so quickly and the mop heads can go into the washing machine for cleaning. You’re getting it sparkly clean, so satisfying! 😌
You have made your new home your own and so cozy , well done x ❤
Love watching you make your beautiful home Kay. You have great ideas and enthusiasm. I too love to layer blinds , floaty net and curtains at my windows. Your garden is a blank canvas to work at cant wait to see it develop and grow. 😊😊
Kay, we really like the new table the way the middle piece fits inside. Good find on the sideboard. 👍👍❤❤ We are sure you will make your home cozy and give it a cottage feel.
Very exciting new chapter in your life! Love your videos 😊
Beautiful floors ,love your cats they love checking everything out .your doing amazing
Love seeing the progress you're making Kay ❤ love from Australia :)
Do you need the fireplace? Without it the sideboard could be centred on the wall giving you more flexibility in relation to furniture placement.
Hi Kay, Your new home is truly beautiful, and I love your style of home decorating also.
Thank you! I like keeping things light and bright but also cosy.
So pleased to see you’re keeping your lovely country cottage style. Your new home’s looking beautiful already 🪄🤍✨
It's lovely and your joy is contagious!! ❤
You are radiating beauty and happiness, so happy for you Kay and your lovely family ❤
I love seeing u getting excited about yr new home, it's lovely to see u make it yours xx
Thank you!! 😊 we’re very happy here xx
Hello Kay love this house and your style is going to transform it into a home.I would paint the sideboard and have the tv central above the fire so it would be central.I would put the dresser in the kitchen where the high chair is and have a small accent chair where you have the dresser .Hope you have many wonderful years in your new home and thank you for sharing this journey with us.xx
Can't wait to get the sideboard painted I think it'll really brighten up that corner of the room. Love hearing your thoughts about the fire too. I think in time we will do what you said about the accent chair in the kitchen, once we're not using that space for the highchair. So fun making a space feel like home 😍🥰
@@Livingthelifeyoulovethink an accent chair be perfect there but your already making it a beautiful home xx
I, for whatever reason didn't get any notifications for ages...went onto your page to see what had happened and found you are moving house!!! Am so pleased and have binge watched it up to date. Love the new sideboard and I actually love the colour it is but understand the white if you are painting the wall. Love the feel of the house and looking forward to next week...
Kitchen curtains are lovely, youve done a great job. That dresser is a real bargain. - Frances
Congrats I love your videos.
Hi Kay your home is looking so cosy already! your cats look like they have settled in too! Beautiful sideboard! love the home content and variety of your vlogs thank you!
Love the cupboard/ sideboard Kay will look amazing white against the colour you chose for the walls 💜it takes time to make changes to a house to make it a home...you will get there 💜you did a wonderful job on those sheer curtains nice and neat 💜 and the garden will be a lovely place for your little boy to run around in and for Rory & Echo 💜 have a lovely weekend xx💜xx
I love the direction you're going in your new home! Love the new table (I have the same one). It's so versatile.
Meanwhile, I just painstakingly hand weeded my entire patio (I just posted the video yesterday) and I could have just used boiling water! 😩
Anyway, looking forward to seeing all of your house and garden projects!
Hope you're happy kay, you'll probably miss the old house for a while ❤
You've really made so much progress in settling in and making your lovely new home really yours. What a wonderful sideboard - and what a bargain! I'm enjoying watching you organize and clean - it keeps me motivated to do the same! Have a wonderful week.
Happy Saturday kay l really enjoy your vlog ,absolutely stunning new house ,have a lovely weekend ❤🎉😊 xx
Thank you so much 😊
Well done Kay and Dom, how hard you have worked. It is all beautiful, l could move in tomorrow! So very pleased for you all. It can’t be anything else but cosy very soon with Kay at the helm !
The kitchen units look more green than grey on camera. If they are more grey and you wanted to soften it you could add touches of pink which might make it more to your taste
Your new home is starting to take shape, so lovely and light. Awesome job on the kitchen curtains 😺
Thanks for taking us along and congrats on the new home! It's looking great!
Thanks so much!🥰
Youll make it lovely, Kay , for your family. ❤
You can aways put an area rug on top of the carpet. Would hide some of the gray and protect the carpet at the same time.
Yes! And would look so cozy. It would differentiate the living room from the play area.
@@tuijawilkening and the baby will have a new rug to play on.
Oh Kay, that flickering clock on the cooker would drive me bonkers!
House looking fabulous.
I think a low round bowl with flowers would look better on your new table. Something fishbowl shaped. Oops, I should MMOB!
It isn’t really flickering-it always looks like that on camera
As Linda said it's just the frame rate of the camera causing it to flicker, IRL it doesn't. Interesting idea about the low bowl, i'll have to try it and see! 😊
Your videos are an absolute joy and highlight of my week...thank you!
