When buying carpet you can often get away with something cheaper if you go with expensive underlay. Good underlay can transform a so-so carpet to feeling soft and dreamy in an instant. We did 10mm in our house on lower priced and haven't regretted it
Take a sample of the wardobe room colour and dilute it with an equal volume of white emulsion. Paint that onto the wall and keep altering the recipe until you get the lightness you like. Then paint that onto a piece of copier paper and take to the store for matching. At least you will end up with the same tone, just lighter. If you use a light bulb on the cooler end of the K spectrum (rather than warm white), it is less likely to bring out the yellow tones of the paint.
I was actually going to suggest painting the whole room the same colour as the wardrobe on ur second video of the wardrobe reveal. 100% do it the same colour
The advice you share with us is so, so useful especially this video about setting up a spare room. I was in a dilemma as to get a small bed or a double bed, when you mentioned how your guest will use the room allowing space for them to use it to relax and not just sleep that made up my mind, thank you xxx
Yes it will have that luxury closet feel if all painted the same drenching it makes sense glad you painted the coving ,whoever invented white or gloss coving and skirting I can’t stand it 😂 also the new colour with all the wood will feel amazing, now shade have you considered swapping out the lightbulb for a smart one that goes from warm to light and can dim because there £6.99 and will solve that evening daytime light changing problem .
Something to take into account with the strip blinds are that the material discolours. I had them years ago but ended up changing them for the plain blinds, much easier to clean. Wish I had known that before investing in the strip ones. x
Enjoyed your video! Thank you! Happy your spring is coming. I’m in Colorado USA and we won’t have consistent warm weather until May or June and it’s advised we not plant flowers until Mother’s Day because of frost. And most years it hails the day after we plant flowers!
Great video!! Hubby took me to Paris Dec 2023 for my 60th… total surprise! Love the colours for office too. Love your channel!! I forgot to mention this earlier, we’ve just got 2 ottoman beds from Dusk and were so happy with them, easy to put together and really really solid.
Keep the bed and just replace the headboard. If the bed and headboard are combined you can still do it. We did it with an ottoman bed. Just sawed off the headboard and then braced the top end of the bed together, we then attached a new headboard to the wall.
Scandish home here on YT uses so many of the zwilling dishes, her channel is great. I think the room would be lovely painted the same colour of the wardrobes. Blind looks great. Can't wait for the other room makeovers 🤎
I have the 12.99 carpet you showed on your vid and I also wanted the very expensive wool type 😂 I promise the cheaper one gives off the same vibes once down and I’m so pleased with it, costing a fraction of the price is a bonus!
Shade, you've got to try drinking the Gari with Peak milk,peanuts and of course sugar...so sick. You sharing that warmed my heart so much ❤❤ Thanks for reping
What about an accent wall in the wardrobe room to break up some of the same color? I just love the style of the wardrobe. The blinds are a good chose too!!
Haven't finished the video yet, so this might be mentioned, but I had a thought for your guest room. In order to make it appear more roomie, what if you changed the direction the door opens? That way when you open the door, it opens toward the wall rather than the bed area. It might appear more open and spacious that way.
Looking forward for the office makeover to get some inspiration! Could you add the link for a recipe for the Nigerian stew? I've a West African stew in my rotation that I like a lot (it's called Maafe, with peanut butter in the broth), super interested to try some other African cuisine!
Hi, i bought my blinds from 24/7 with strips and they look more expensive then the blinds without the strips. I have had them for about 8 years they look just as good as the day we put then up. Easy to clean and a good price. We got them in a sale.
Great video must get some pf those Parathas..yum! Carpets are so expensive are'nt they?? Yes paint the dressing room in the same colour as wardrobes it will look great You make me smile the way you say Darlieas for Dahlias (Daylias) 🤣
If you are worried that the room would be too dark with the same colour as the wardrobes - perhaps use the paint as half strength - same colour but much lighter.
I thought I was going to see Rob having to pick himself up off the floor after seeing those carpet prices! Of course, you could just remind hm of all the money you are saving be you being able to do so much of the diy, decorating etc yourself... 😉
Would the cute little Irish girl be Catherine aka Dainty diaries? She's wonderful ❤ Could you get away with a small double in the guest room? I resorted to that last year, the difference when you're in the bed isn't that noticeable but made a good difference to the extra space in the room.
I love watching your videos. I was eating my banana and watching you blow your lamb dinner, unconsciously i blew my banana and realised what am i doing? I get too engrossed watching you lol ❤❤
Blinds direct we couldn’t fault..a year later we ordered perfect fit blinds for French doors and they were terrible..you could see in from outside. They emailed saying it was our measurements that were wrong and until we sent them screen shots of the actual dimensions ordered they backed down and sent replacements..poor quality and terribly made.
Swap your light bulb for white light or daylight bulb,good for when your doing makeup😊😊

Loving the progress. If painting the yhe walls the same colour as the wardrobe you should definitely do the skirting on the wardrobe the same colour
Hello I hope you’re doing well, it’s good to see you and I’m glad you had a great vacation looks like y’all had a wonderful trip. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💖🥰💯💫

Yes with the same colour on walls.
I’m gonna do it! Thank you! 🥳

Oh thanks for letting me know! I’ll keep an eye on them then

Yes i love all versions of colour drenching,that office will look stunning .
Excited to share it with you!

The dressing room Looks lovely. What colour is the wardrobe painted with? Looking forward to seeing the next step 👍🏽

That’s a great idea! I’m going to see if that can be done. Thanks hun!
Love all your videos! Please could you share the airfryer sized dishes? 👌🏻
I have blinds to go all around the house. Also had them in my other property. Brilliant white still going strong.
Were you watching Dainty Diaries?..
She has a gorgeous cottage garden..😊
Agree paint same colour as wardrobes ❤
Love the wardrobes but definitely paint the skirting at the bottom the same colour not white 😊 that would be perfect.
Looking forward for the office makeover to get some inspiration!

Your skills are getting better and better …if design is in your future I’m sure you’d be very good at it☺️
Use daylight bulbs, not warm white
In the dressing room why not put strip lights all along the top of the wardrobes
Would the cute little Irish girl be Catherine aka Dainty diaries? She's wonderful ❤

Get someone in to deep clean your cooker, it will look like brand new
