- This week, we put the finishing touches on our London flat to make this space truly feel like home. We are running out of time to get it all done before we head back to the US so forgive the delirious late night filming!! We also picked up some pieces from local artists to finish the space so we took you on a little tour of our new neighborhood in Greenwich while we were at it! Hope you enjoy seeing this space come together!!! Make sure to tune in next week for our and full apartment tour of the finished space!!

Lol! I’m an American living in England and I got so lucky because my flat came with a washer and dryer in one machine! Life saver!
Love you guys x Hats are a good way to put art on the walls and guitars. 🥰
I love what you’ve done with the place! I love your style, the pictures are so cool 👌🏻
Love this vlog and that your in south east London. I grew up here and so cute you call it a neighbourhood!
This really, must be the place❤️ forever in love with the meaning behind that song for you guys, it means something very special to me also and every time it’s mentioned by you, it really does fill my heart! The place looks great, so excited for you to have a home in the UK now toooo🥳✨
Love you guys, you’re so fun to watch 😊
Even stranger than no dryer is why the washer &/or dryer are in the kitchen! I was aware of this but I’ve never seen that here in 🇨🇦 We have laundry Rooms, thank goodness lol
A shelf with some minimal decorative objects on it and a trailing plant would add dimension to the decor and feel more homely. It could also function to store useful items, you could put a nice storage box up there for tv remotes or anything you want to hide!
It's looking great, fair play to you guys!
You could hang lithographs of your favorite books / stories. A great personal touch that is also unique :)
omg it’s coming together so perfectly 🤩
Hello and happy Sunday to you and your amazingly beautiful family ❤️ your house looks awesome 💕
This is so true with the washing on the radiators. I’d be lost without my tumble dryer. But the average kitchen in the UK is quite small. I keep mine in the shed 😂 it’s all good as long as it’s not minus degree weather as the drawer that collects the water freezes up 🥶
Looks amazing! O I know if you want something different, there's this creative called Blacklist Studio who creates all kinds of prints and old skateboard decks that have been painted with really neat handwriting on it. He also has cool wall flags, my fav is the black flag with the word love in white. Also there's this cute throw with the words "this love is forever" on it. I think you guys would love his style.
Me and my husband went to B&M home/B&M and got some canvases with landscapes on but always wanted a canvas of our wedding pics which would bring depth to your home vibe. X
I have dryer but I don't use it to dry my clothes straight out of the washer. I usually dry them outside of by a radiator first. Then pop them in the dryer to soften up .......very cost effective.
The flat looks beautiful :-)
You can have the kids make some textured canvases (spackle in whatever pattern the kids want use the spatula that comes with it let it try totally and then you can paint it if you want it a certain color) it’s something the kids will love seeing hanging on the wall and it’s still somewhat modern.
I’m British and I have a tumble dryer and use it alllll the time !! Tbf yes it does cost a lot to run so we only use it once or twice a week but I couldn’t live without it !!
I’m from London, & pretty much everyone I know has a tumble dryer. Although we use a drying rack as well to keep costs down when there isn’t a lot to dry.
We have that exact “let’s stay home” wall art! 💖
I’m in the uk and do have a dryer but don’t use it much - a lot of our clothes are not meant to be put in the dryer. I use radiators but like to hang out in the garden when it’s dry and warmer. Also using a tumble dryer is expensive on the electricity.
As someone who is British, I have always had a tumble drier in my house since I was a kid and so have like, family and friends, I didn't know it was a thing people didn't do? We always have clothes drying all over our house cause not everything can be dried that way, and we hang our clothes outside in the summer but I was completely baffled when you said that xD
You could look into texturized pieces for the walls. Like baskets or hanging plants or tapestry type hangings :)
They have a washer dryer combo in the UK, it's one unit but it does both. As a fellow Canadian who used to live in the UK laundry always takes ages 🫠🙃
Nice time with his good friends and neighbours
I'm from the UK I use a dryer. Some people do use dryers when it's the cold months and use radiators and airers in the warm ones. It's mainly cost efficiency cause dryers are expensive to run
This was a fun video!! I love Bowie's accent. 💀🖤🖤🖤
I don't know anyone who doesn't own a dryer! We do all love it when the weather gets a bit better and we can hang the washing outside though 😂
I don’t have one😅
@@bonjourimchloe I don't know you though 🙃🤣
Can't beat outdoor dried bed sheets! That's all I talk about when we get good weather 🤣🤣
I didn’t have a dryer when I lived in Europe I thought it was weird. They are more common now, but it takes time to plan what you are going to wear!
This might not be what you need but Amazon has this product called gorilla line which is a tiny box that has a clothes line built into it. It is retractable and great for energy savers. We use it to hang up delicates, and the line can run across the room when you need it and go back to the box when your done. It might help dry things quicker or overnight.
I’m from England and we have a drier as do some of my family members, but it’s definitely not commonplace. We got one a few years ago just before my eldest was born because we knew we’d be doing way more laundry. I don’t think I could be without one now.
I don't think there's a big dryer culture here, as you said they take some place and they also use a lot of energy. + I think the UK like most European-ish countries have a big line drying culture (when it does not rain haha) The place is coming out nice and lovely :)
You can get wire art for the walls. Bespoke skylines made out of metal if that makes sense. Or other metal/wire designs.
I use a dryer always never hang out or use radiator 🤷🏼♀️your putting a lot of effort into a rental its great 👏🏻
Love what you guys have done! .... haha we have a dryer and most people I know do too but I think it’s either the cost of living or the just lack of space for some people x
U.K. resident here, we do a combination of clothes on the radiator and the dryer. We tend to use the dryer mostly for underwear.
We've got a tumble dryer for the first time recently but only use it for certain things, mainly due to cost!! It's expensive to run 😭 also it shrinks some things so we only use it for larger items that don't dry as quickly on clothes horses/airers/radiators/banisters 🤣🙈
You should get a door handle changed and use a card or fob to open! You can control ur it by your phone and can put it on a fob to open! We got one from Costco and it’s amazing! It was about £120
I'm English and I've always owned a dryer but only use it in the autumn and winter. In the spring and summer, I try to air it outside on the washing line innit
I have always had a tumbler dryer including in my childhood, and unfortunately I am not young😉. I don't actually know anyone who doesn't have one. I currently have an integrated version washer/dryer combo which is a great option and would have worked well with your space. I am British. And I never put batteries in wall clocks so I can also set them to 11.11 to.
This is so funny! We definitely do have dryers in the UK and most use them, but in London flats are small and don't have the space so a lot of people just don't put them in.. it makes doing laundry 1000% slower! 😅🤣
you can buy a washing machine that has a dryer option too, in my old house we rented it was that type of washing machine, and in my old share house i lived in we had a dryer but that was purely because in a share house you dont want to just be leaving your stuff lying about and have your clothes on display to the other residence of the house, but where i live now in my flat i dont have one because there was no space for it and it was a choice between a dryer and a dishwasher and we went for a dishwasher instead as we hate handwashing dishes - i live in london too
I live in the North West of England, and we own and use a dryer, but mainly for towels and bedding. Other than that, it always seems a waste of power to use a dryer to dry EVERYTHING! Most of the people I know have the same approach, and it's actually abnormal to most to dry clothes with a dryer. Some even store their dryer in at external building/garage for space saving. xxx
I'm British, more precisely Leeds, which is up North in the UK and if you ask any Southerner means we get colder wetter weather apparently 🤣 but anyway, I have a dryer but they're not that cost effective so tend to use airers more often and leave towels and bed sheets for the dryer. Little insight in to my life there for you 🤣🤣 love your videos and insta, such a funny, great couple and gorgeous kiddos xx
I live in Bedfordshire and we have a dryer. Couldn’t be without one now with my twins x
I like hanging fans on my wall. Colorful and textured and a fun shape!
I use my drier once a week, and so do all my family and friends 😊
I live in England and own a dryer 🙋♀️ but only really use it for towels and bedding!
I’m a Canadian who lives in the UK. I have a whole separate utility room with my own washer AND dryer because I don’t have the patience to wait for clean and dry clothes! 😂🙈
In Brazil it's not common to use dryers either. I have it in my house, but we never use it. But it's really warm, the clothes dries in few time.
Hahahah you guys make me laugh! I'm in London and have a dryer but I feel ya - it's the first flat I've been in in 6 years that has one.
I live up in yorkshire and i can honestly say i have a dryer and use it daily.
Raw beauty Kristi had some previously live plant sculptures for the wall. It’s hard to explain but they are amazing. She has shown a few in different videos
I’m French and live in London (blackheath actually !) we have a washing machine that does dryer at the same time but we don’t really use it. For me it doesn’t smell as nice as when clothes are drying outside. Also it kind of damages clothes.
We have a drier but we only use it in winter or if it’s really wet and we have lots to dry. It’s expensive to use and most of the time we dry outside or on airers and radiators 😂
Basically, not everyone has space for a washer AND a dryer. Additionally combined washer dryers aren't as efficient/can be more expensive, so most just opt to have a washer and be done with it.
For the walls, geometric shape shelves, they are decorative and functional.
Please do a video on your experiencing filming Scream. The new one is out soon, and it’s a well discussed opening scene amongst the scream fanbase.
I live in the uk and have a drier. Two small kids and I wouldn’t be without it!!
Why not get an electronic lock? No need for keys but a password that you can reset between tenants
I live in England and yes I have a dryer I think some people don't due to space I would think... but yes so true about clothes on the radiators 🤣 xx
Hang a rug! It helps absorb sound, stays much cleaner than if its on the floor. you can still vaccumme it if it needs. It ads texture or colour or pattern what ever you like.
Have a GREAT DAY!
~Jj
The house looks amazing so far. Can’t wait to see the final house tour. ❤
Living in the Northeast of Enhland with my dryer running 💖
I have a drier but only dry towels, bedding and socks!
I love watching your channel , can I just say though , that it’s a little odd that you always look to the side of the camera ( I assume it’s the view finder ) instead of like the actual camera. I don’t know , maybe it’s just me that finds it’s distracting lol
What about checking out a vintage/antique shop for an old 'London' sign or something like that 🤔
And yes we do all have dryers but we do hang our clothes round the house on radiators and on drying rails as our energy prices are ridiculous 😂❤
I don’t have a dryer! I’ve no room & could never afford to run one back in the day. I use the laundrette to dry heavy loads & radiators for my underwear. Damp/mould terrible this year as can’t afford radiators on too long 😮
I don't know anyone that doesn't have a dryer tbh, maybe one but they live in a small flat so no room. I still dry on radiators and drying racks too as it's cheaper then using the dryer
Yes I got tumble dryer
I literally only ever use my dryer for big things like duvet covers or towels. So funny, I didn’t realise this was a U.K. thing 😂
I have a dryer but it’s in a shed in our garden as there is no space in our kitchen! London homes are so much smaller than those in the US!
We live in the U.K. and love our dryer 😅
Everyone I know has a dryer in London because it takes 3 to 4 days for things to dry in the winter.
I use a dryer. Couldn’t be without it.
Get a Lakeland electric dryer if you have room xx
I'm English and I would say that a tumble dryer is considered a little more of a luxury here. A dryer is often (but not exclusively) owned by someone who has a garage or a utility room (to store/use it). A LOT of UK homes don't have a utility and, as you know, the washing machine lives in the kitchen. They're not cheap to buy and an additional cosy to run 🤷🏼♀️
Floating shelves would be nice. Then you can add decor that way
Why not get a 2 in 1 washer/dryer? Super convenient!!
You need some Canada and London in there
Londoner with a tumble dryer here!
Hey. I couldn’t live without my tumble dryer!!!! But I live outside of London
haha as a European (French), I don't know anyone who owns a dryer 😅🤷♀ I've always been told that it damages your clothes
Anyone know where they got their prints from? Specifically the moon phases?
Maybe some abstract prints
I am in English and I don’t know anyone who doesn’t have a dryer. I live up north though so the no dryers may be a London thing due to small flats etc
Me and my mum have dryers but I guess some homes don’t have an obvious space for it.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Since the washer is in the kitchen and not in a hallway off or in the garage is it common to have the luxury of a laundry room in the UKat all if you have the space or is that not common practice ? I’m sure I can google it but curios…🤷🏻♀️
We use a drier in the uk???
♥️♥️♥️♥️
I have a dryer and a heated clothes airier. Every person I know in the UK has a dryer 😂
Another trick is to fold small pieces of that tape inside out and stick to corners on the back of your artwork so it doesn't shift on the wall. Maybe OCD on my part but I grew up with an artistic father who painted and he always did that. My only critique - sorry guys - is that it looks like you're hanging stuff high on the wall and in my opinion (for what it's worth) some of them need to be hung lower. Rule of thumb is the artwork's centre should be hung 57" from the floor to match average eye level
Yeaaah, I’ve always had dryers. I’m in Wembley, so don’t know what’s happening with the Brits you know 😂
Floating shelves up on the walls
Im so confused guys like are you moving to the uk or not??
I think space is the biggest issue. We don't have one but my parents do.
I’ll admit I try not to use my dryer, but I can assure you Brits do have them 😂 unless it’s more of a London thing. But most people in my area keep them in the garage if they don’t have a utility.
I think having a dryer is seen as something that posh people have. Most of the UK have small kitchens that barely have room for a sink, fridge, cooker and obvs we need room for the kettle (utility room - what is that). Hanging the washing is in our DNA and culture. At the moment, could not afford a dryer!
Oh we use dryers. Everyone's just skint. 😂
Wait are you guys still living in london?
