Underfloor heating in a greenhouse?! You really won’t need it! Trust me!! Even in winter they can get pretty toasty if it’s a sunny day. That’s the whole point of them!
Trust me when you have a greenhouse you wont need underfloor heating and a log burner, one morning of sunshine and you can't breathe in there, the plants suffer from too much heat.
Why would you want to cram all your friends into a greenhouse when you have a whacking great big house and a huge patio? And it’s going to be really hot in there in the spring summertime too?
lol so weird, i for sure wouldnt wanna be crammed in there with the plants (and im sure there will be bugs!) when there is a beautiful house just a few steps away
I've never heard of anyone making a "social space" in a greenhouse. Aren't there enough social areas both inside and outside your house. Why not use the greenhouse for its intended purpose, i.e. to grow and cultivate plants, fruit and veg?
I live in Denmark and we have cold, dark and windy weather. Even when it’s sunny it’s usually still too cold to sit outside. It’s nice to have a shelter like a green house so you can get a bit of sunshine without freezing from the wind.
You should follow garden answer , that girls is doing the exact same thing on a grander scale and it’s her choice , a different space means offering guests a different experience ❤️
Having the plants in the greenhouse and also wanting to have it as a party space seems a bit of a stretch. Might end up feeling a little cramped. Maybe the next project could be a summer house in the backyard instead? Then you could have a designated space for each
I really think it is so tragic how they never seem to be happy with the way things are and they never really appreciate things... They are always in the need of changing things and are always buying so many things but the joy only lasts for a second, then they are on to other things to purchase
I think she’s trying to continually uproot and “plant” herself. It’s a vicious cycle sadly. Perhaps childhood trauma that is taking its toll. I hope she gets the happiness she needs and is content in life. A child may change her for the better and will ground her.
It seems she is living in her own fantasy of excessive luxury and perfection to care. There’s very clearly an underlying issue here that I too am noticing.
what about all the designer bags that you keep buying shown on your channel? Most of them will be leather which is just pure animal cruelty, also contributing to climate change...
@@juliadudzik8898 oh please! Everyone likes fancy things but to an extent! People like Lydia are a consumption-ist with no care in the world about her impacts. Buying a few designer bags is far different and you know it.
I really enjoy Lydia’s channel and videos but as someone who has suffered with depression it’s so clear to me to see that she’s not ok. I’ve been there - constantly changing things in the hope that it’s going to help you feel somewhat better inside but it never does. You can have all the money and the best of everything but nothing will ever fill that void. It’s sad to see because I used to be the same. What I realised the hard way is that at the end of the day when you’re truly happy in your life and marriage etc then none of the ‘stuff’ matters this much. It’s all driven by a desire for perfection and nothing is ever good enough. No hate, just hope she’s ok xx
Sarah Kirby I agree with you because I am going through the same thing and I do hope that Lydia is ok. Depression is a horrible thing and you really have to take care of yourself.
Stuff can never fill the void and make you happy. Sometimes I think having what you need and maybe a little more is where the most happiness is. Lydia is drowning in excess.
I don’t see some of the other influencers constantly changing their homes. Driven by pleasing aesthetics rather than pleasing herself. I know I’ve been there and it’s depressive not fulfilling.
I am not sure if i missunderstand it. In switzerland we have a greenhouse for plants. To grow the seeds and have it full with plants that need warmer? I dont now the idea to use it for tables and chairs.
Should have bought a orangery! unfortunately they are bloody expensive! So I guess this was the compremise! Ali needs Rain her in from viewing anything interior based or looking at other channels
Lydia, keep the greenhouse for one year before you put money into the underfloor heating and all the other (more expensive 🤣) things. You need to know the extreme temps it can get to, in the summer it could end up being super super hot. Even in the winter, if the sun is out and the sky is clear, it could be super hot! Then you will know if its actually needed or most likely it'll be quite hot most of the time!!
Yes! We have a greenhouse (nothern Germany, very similar climate to the area Lydia lives in) and there is no way I will spend more time than neccessary in it in the summer. Just wait a full year to see when and how you're actually going to use it - it will save so much money, I'm sure. Besides all that: The greenhouse looks stunning! Can't wait to see how the rest of the area it going to change as well :-)
As someone who has had a greenhouse for years you will not be hosting in it in summer unless you want to sweat. Do with it what you will however greenhouses are built for the purpose of growing veg, plants, fruit, flowers etc... not to socialise in 🤷🏽♀️
I'm sure a your guys are all at the top of their trades - just hope they are going to seal all of those knots in the wood before they paint it. For me, a greenhouse is for growing and propagating plants - cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers etc. why would you want to use it as an entertaining space - with underfloor heating !!! Build a separate summerhouse for that purpose. The greenhouse will need shading when the sun starts shining, especially in summer. Just my opinion of course.
I like to know why are you keeping changing? I know you and your husband have money but, that is not the point. Are you ever going to be content in your house? It's 2 years ago that you have started and since then you have not stopped. If I’m not mistaken you have changed your vehicles in a very short time. What is the real story behind this non-stop changes?
I actually really like them but do agree as soon as something is done they are on to changing something again. The downstairs bathroom was only done recently. It feels like something deeper, if you aren't content in yourself or are unhappy you look for other ways to make yourself happy (like spending or changing things). I wish they would stop and relax and enjoy what they have already achieved.
Her mother works in a supermarket so I don’t think she has that much money if she does shame on her for not helping her mother out. Also side note she practically beg companies to “GIFT “Gift her things.
Greenhouses are typically well ventilated so you can control the temperature. Think about it. If it got too hot the plants would die which is the main purpose of a greenhouse.
@@sallyannc3176 what I meant by well ventilated is that they come with windows, like this one does, to provide ventilation. I have a small greenhouse and I’ve never had to use shading but I live in a colder climate.
This wasn’t to be criticism to Lydia... this was a genuine question... I have a green house and it’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It would be lovely to have a sitting area inside, but perhaps too warm!
Said with the utmost love but I feel genuinely worried about you Lydia. You seem erratic in this video. I hope you are ok. I think sometimes we need to just take stock and appreciate the world around us rather than focusing so much on materialistic things. I think that would really help you. Said with kindness of course xxx
@@lindachapman9765 I feel the same. However, I sometimes wish she would take her own advice and take a break sometimes or be more open in her content instead of showing all the positives. I wouldn’t mind if we missed videos so she could grieve in peace or if instead of showing hauls she talked about how she’s coping. I feel that her portraying thsi positive facade makes people feel as though she is doing fine when in reality we don’t really know.
She did but now she's changing the floors in the hallway and kitchen. She is also painting the kitchen again and changing the carpet in the living room next door.
Lydia, dont go for a log burner in your greenhouse, get an Everhot mini stove, its electric so no flue hassle , and you can cook in it😃 It will warm the space and cook your camembert and garlic bread for you and the girls. X
I feel so sorry for her. Shes damned if she does and damned if she doesn't. People can be so cruel, judgemental and opinionated, it's very sad to read, God knows how it must make her feel. 😢
I think it’s because people just expect more from her and wish her to explain everything more than can be done in a vlog style video. This just leads to confusion and I guess people feel annoyed with the constant renovation. I would prefer a sit down video where she explains the timeline and that she just wants to do something’s because she likes it would suffice.
I’ve been mulling over your kitchen and instead of the arch I’d just take that whole wall out if you want it open. As I said previously you need a roundness to the area for an arch to work. Totally opened up would look amazing and be square to suit the area. As for the cladding I would have carried the hallway design into the kitchen so it flowed through and put beams in the ceiling instead of the cladding. It would have looked more barn conversion and suited the area well.
THANKY FOR replying. Exactly. I Havre received a new video unpacking New? Looking forwards to watching. To catch flaws in conversation. Let's see...have an amazing day...
LYDIA maybe you guys should have built your own house so you can get exactly how you want. You two have been renovating for over a year to get like you want. Do you wish you should have built the house instead?
I think it is very disingenuous to say she is never satisfied. She has repeatedly said her style changes and she likes to decorate. It’s her money so she can do with it what she likes.
Florist C - if you feel this way stop watching. Of if YOU are jealous, become an influencer too and get free stuff as well. Just because she was smart enough to be doing this first, don’t hate her. Why ruin it for everyone else?
@@angelashock9837 That's her problem, she is all about what's in fashion and what other influencers have. Only shallow people change their interiors as often as she does.
@@angelashock9837 people can say "I dont think she is happy, and I dont think her lifestyle is making her happy" if they believe it. Sometimes friends and family are too close to see things objectively, but I think if she said she was speaking to a qualified psychologist people wouldnt worry as much. Right now a lot of people think she really needs help and saying "don't worry babe they are jealous" isn't being encouraging, it's denial.
C.S. - No. It’s not crying fire, until you KNOW the theatre is on fire! She is in therapy, let her work it out herself. If she doesn’t have issues, all you armchair therapists are going to do is make her feel terrible! She is going through a bad time with the death of her grandparent. Cut her some slack!
I’ve been watching Lydia for years and always seen her in the highest light. Recently discovered something that distorted that perception and it put so much into perspective. To anyone reading this these people we watch and follow online are flawed too. No matter how much they strive or display perfection, they’re human. No different to you or me. Perfection does not exist. As beautiful as a lot of what Lydia shows is, it’s also not a lot of people’s reality and she may have ‘things’ but we don’t know her life, what she’s going through, who she is behind closed doors or how she feels even with those things. So please be mindful when watching people online to not compare or feel like you have less because you don’t have what they have. If you had it, you may not actually want it. Blessings all.✨
I mean this in the nicest way possible so please don't be offended, but if you "discovered something" that changed your mind about Lydia, why do you watch her videos? I don't think that she strives to "display perfection", she is just happy and excited to share aspects of her life with her viewers and it is her choice what she shows us. I do agree that perfection does not exist, however, if you think that about her, why spend time watching her videos and commenting on them. I hope you can understand where I'm coming from. I just don't think you should be trying to throw accusations when you haven't met the person you are writing about.
@@izabellajaruszewska1585 check out Rebecca Kelly here on TH-cam, there's 2 uploads..I take everything on here as entertainment and when I put my phone down I carry on with my life!
@G T Please don't resort to criticism and belittling me. Have some respect towards everyones opinions. I have not met her. I am simply stating that YOU or anybody else does not need to watch her if they supposedly know something so bad about her. If it's a free platform then I can watch and comment what I want, just like you.
@@izabellajaruszewska1585 I honestly think the comment was meant to tell Lydia fans and viewers not to idolize Lydia’s life because she has money. You are being overly defensive. It’s not an insult to say that nobody is perfect but people do tend to think that what they see on social media is better and somehow more perfect than their own lives.
Lydia described using the greenhouse as an entertaining space as well as a functional space. I imagine that if she wants to have friends over during the autumn/winter/early spring it may be nice to have the heat from the fire.
a quick planting recommendation - rosemary is very invasive and will grow super quickly, which is lovely but it can get a bit much! I would recommend just the lavender for the border, perhaps with some buxus topiary intermixed, or maybe a low buxus hedge infront of it to prevent the lavender sagging too much into the path. 'French' lavender flowers longer than the English variety, so it might be worth looking into that variety
Too much too much too much. Take a break Lydia. I really hope that all of this is helping you through these tough times. Whew I need a break just watching. There is always so much going on. It's just the two of you. Wow! Take a break lady.
Hi that is what she says. The truth is she is from money. Her family do not look like no body s. Ali would not attach himself to a complete loser if you think that was the Truth. Listen to me on ytube I have interacted with a lot of video creators. Guess what they have all without fail answered me back. Lydia has never answered me once. I have been following her for over three years now. With the tubers they have replied because they are genuine they are from working stock. There is ANOTHER English ytuber and she has never got back to ME. The truth is the wealthy do not care about anyone but themselves...for the marriage relationship its fabricated its to cohabit make as much money and then separate. Ali does all the hard work and she.puts in tmoney and design skills.
@@wendymoraghan9406 she hasn't figured that out yet, a table, chairs , log stove, probably too big a light. How abt room for watering cans, tools, no clue and a heated floor.
The Greenhouse looks gorgeous, but don’t get the log fire or seating area for 6 🤔 surely your new outside eating area that your going to build will be for entertaining. You do realise that the greenhouse will smell etc as your sowing plants ! Love the arch in the kitchen, don’t get the cladding myself when your walls were perfect.loved Porter out for his walk.
I am sorry to say that the arc shape is not a proper arc shape. You should have it modified. When i finally saw it I was disappointed. Take a real look at it and decide?
Why on the earth you even need carpet in you living room? So difficult to clean while having pets, just a rug around the sofas would be so nice too. I’m sorry no offense or hate I’m from Kazakhstan and I don’t understand why British love their carpets so much 😂😂😂
Greenhouses are warm and humid as plants need water in the air and so this is not a place for entertaining. Humidity will make everyones hair go frizzy! Not sure people would like that. LOL
I am pretty sure you will soon renovate your green house after your current green house is done😂 I feel you have been renovating your house over and over again. I am so confused😂such a waste. will you live this house forever？😅
Ali clearly doesn’t say no to her. She decides it all. I bet he wants kids as well. She says no. He never wanted a dog. But they’ve got one. I wonder why??
I’m beginning to believe she is a control freak. People like her attract partners who are laid back but the laid back partner becomes drained. It isn’t a nice pairing at all. I hope Ali will one day speak out and snap her back into reality and out of her bubble. She just seems not self aware.
Hey do not stress the whole set up has been a business deal. Ali after this reno is parting ways. He takes his booty and goes back to his life in Europe. She will be fine the rich always are...so do not stress. Goodnight from Australia. THANKY FOR SHARING.
Dear Lydia, please take notice of all the comments on here. At last everyone is saying what they feel and not just saying something to be kind. There is a problem. Poor Ali looks exhausted and drained and he needs some peace to just enjoy the house for a few months and no more changes. You must see that something is not quite right. People are trying to help you here. Keep changing things wont make you happy. Just stop. Take a breath and chill. The kitchen was beautiful as it was, elegant and contemporary as the house should be. Seeing the dog in a bag. Its so sad. Everyone said to you that a sausage dog is not ideal for really long country walks that a Cocker Spaniel a working dog even would have been perfect. Now you want a pig.....
A quick tip on the tomatoes at the greenhouse: be careful of putting them near the seating area. They are nightshift plants with a distinctive smell that can cause migrane, dizziness or unease to sensitive people.
@@Mar-iy8il I think whatever is trendy at the moment she just changes it up...right now it’s country rich chic look I guess. The old dining room and this bathroom doesn’t go with the rest of the house’s look now...
Hope you don’t mind me saying We had a greenhouse in our garden not as pretty as yours but it’s so hot in the summer you can even go in! And again in the winter it’s freezing certainly wouldn’t want to seat in it xx
That archway will drive you nuts. I personally cannot cope with things off centre. Maybe square would have worked better as your kitchen units and cladding etc are very square. Just my personal opinion though but I like lines to match.
I feel the arch is making everything look short and closed in. It would feel more open to just remove and go straight up to the ceiling. Everything else is square. Never understood why there was a door there in the first place. It’s not something you see in the US.
Yvette Gonzales Dachshunds are hounds. Dachshund translates to Badger Hound, they are hunters. You’d be surprised, once they are fully grown they can run and walk for miles and miles without tiring :)
I worry about that too. He should only be having a little walk . I watch and see that poor Porter is running to keep up with her. I personally think they are not dog people !!! Trying to keep up with everyone!!!!
May I ask a question, I understand trying to match up the hall and kitchen floor and I think the tile will be great at the door to minimize wear and tear but if the problem is matching up the height won’t the same problem be encountered in all the other thresholds when you raise the height of hallway?
My husband and I downsized to a 1901 farmhouse here in the states and I learned very quickly everything takes twice as long and cost twice as much lol. I’m surprised at the number of people who are surprised by your want of a fireplace in your greenhouse. I mean look at Joanna Gaines greenhouse. She not only has a fireplace in hers but also the nice wooden table that doubles as a working table and a table for her garden parties. Obviously, your greenhouse is smaller therefore so will the fireplace but it simply makes for a year round garden “She Shed”, perfect for winter garden parties! ♥️
why not continue the same flooring to the living room as well? Carpets get dirty really fast and it very old fashion in my opinion. you can put a huge rug istead.
Anyone else a bit confused over the greenhouse? I mean what she wants in it. To me that not a greenhouse. I mean why have a greenhouse if it not going to be a greenhouse. But on the side note, it her money, her house. So it her choice, and I bet it will end up looking gorgeous. And I can’t wait to see it!
It can be both...why have a greenhouse if u cant share its beauty with friends n family. Cant hurt anyone to sit n enjoy all the beautiful plants u worked hard to bring to life!! Plus it will be the best air u could breath in!! And on top of that i dont think shes talking huge parties in the greenhouse, but small gatherings with her friends n fam!!
Greenhouses are intolerably hot and stuffy in summer Lydia, really not the ideal place to be holding a dinner party or drinks with friends, unless you want to suffer with heat exhaustion. Perhaps a summer house would be more suited to your needs so that the greenhouse can perform its proper function of growing plants?
@@LusiaEyre Yes I know. I am asking what is wrong with simply using the large patio space for entertaining? Greenhouses are meant to be hot and often have an odour. No one wants to sit in a stuffy, spider ridden place. :)
in the nicest way possible! I never realised how overlooked you were from from side of the greenhouse, I'm playing catch up with all the reno updates, are you planning on hedging around to keep privacy? Literally looks unreal so far!😍
I literally had to stop the video when I saw Ali open the can with his teeth because I was so SHOOK. Oh.my.word. For the sake of your teeth, PLEASE NEVER DO THAT AGAIN. (I work in a dental office). Do you realize how many people crack their teeth from opening cans and bottles that way? It is hard to fix, and especially the front teeth because they have so little support. Sometimes, it's not even worth trying to fix--best case: you'll get a choppy filling, ruining your smile's aesthetic; worst case: you might end up needing extractions, implants, and crowns afterwards. It's just a nightmare for the patient, and infuriating for the treating dentist/orthodontist because it's something that could have been so easily prevented. Not to mention, possible infection occurring later on due to the trauma. You get a toothache out of nowhere and all of sudden you need antibiotics. Get a butter knife to pry open the tab if you don't want to use your fingers. Your teeth, man, but seriously, you might want to consider being careful.
Re-doing it again ... It's a bit too much now. Obv you have the money but why not settle with what you've created so far and just enjoy it as it is. Ahh wait you wouldn't have a content for the channel otherwise....
How can you tell her what do to and what not to do!!! You watched this entire video just to hate and comment....LIKE why go out of your way to be bitter🤣 let her do whatever she wants last time I checked it’s HER LIFE KMT
@@gabriellemadisonstudio I have to disagree here. It does appear there's a pretty repetitive behaviour indeed brushing over same topics - if it's not redoing the dressing room, it's the kitchen, if not the living room then it'll be the study and so on, but that only shows she's never happy with her choices which makes us doubt her "this is the best..." and "such a great quality such and such" which works on subconscious level to always want more and new and buy and buy and that is definitely not good for the planet and it's a bad advice really.
@@gabriellemadisonstudio How can you tell me what to do and what not to do!! I watched this entire video just to share a view and comment for her to maybe consider being less wasteful (for Earth's sake). Let me do whatever I want, last time I checked it's my life, my view. KMT xx
For the price I would have thought that you would have had automatic opening windows in the greenhouse...... 🤔. Before you spend good money on a round table check it really meets your needs....maybe borrow/buy a cheap one.....I tried one and I couldn’t do most of what I wanted......the actual available area after you’ve ‘scaped’ it there’s not much available area for more than 2people! Those snowdrops 😳😍💞.......like a fairy garden 🧚. Xx
I love the section of the video where you and Ali talk about the plans for the greenhouse. just bouncing ideas with each other and going into the same direction with it shows so much of you two!
you will produce so much stuff from the garden, you have to start reading up on freezing and canning or a lot will go to waste, I learned that the hard way
Lydia, contain the lemon balm in the pot too. Lemon balm, mint and catnip all spread vigorously. But lemon balm leaf tea is very nice so depends how much of it you want of it.
Have you thought of a water source with a sink/ drainage in the green house? I think it makes things easier potting, watering plants and starts. Plus washing/ cleaning off your garden veggies with out making a mess in your home . I also have the funniest sausage dog (Kevin) and A beautiful little beagle (Caroline) my loves. Please keep an eye on Porter. He is a hound and can't help himself picking up a scent putting his nose to the ground and taking off on an adventure . You are doing a wonderful job with your home. Be Blessed and Safe, Love Kate Olivia PS a cute weather vane on your green house would be fabulous,
Correction: shiplap the boards overlap each other. Tongue and groove the boards are flush/flat like the cladding you have. Can run both vertical and horizontal.
True ship lap planks have a shaped lip so the upper plank over-hangs the lower plank, picture the side of a traditional wooden barn, barge or rowing boat. This makes ship lap very resistant to water. The clue’s in the name. Tongue and groove can be used horizontally or vertically. Each board has a tongue edge and a groove edge which slot/interlock together with no over-hang. It’s often used as panelling, wainscoting, flooring etc, picture a sauna.
For your border go with just lavender. We have both rosemary and lavender planted in our yard and have end up with just rosemary. At least in our area it is a very aggressive grower and you can barely see the lavender anymore.
Well, I’m absolutely in love with the arch doorway but why do I think you will soon be replacing your front door with an arched door 🤣 #oneprojectmakesanother
Your plans for the greenhouse sound phenomenal, Lydia! A chandelier would look incredible in the greenhouse. Just a thought. Happy for all the things that are coming along with your home! xx ❤️
Just a heads up with bees and Porter, our doxie has stepped one on the ground 2 separate times and started having a reaction vomiting and pale gums and had to be rush to er for anaphaltic shock, stinger was in her paw Severe reactions include: Vomiting, diarrhea, staggering, pale gums, swelling of the larynx leading to difficulty breathing, and sudden collapse. Its was scary and would hope you don't have to experience that.
Underfloor heating in a greenhouse?! You really won’t need it! Trust me!! Even in winter they can get pretty toasty if it’s a sunny day. That’s the whole point of them!
I was thinking the same. I’ve never even heard of underfloor heating in a greenhouse.
The plants won’t like it. They want there to be humidity.
I've never heard of anyone entertaining their friends in the greenhouse?!
You actually do need some type of heating in a greenhouse to keep the temp above freezing on cold winter nights.

It likely won’t be too hot. Greenhouses are ventilated so it won’t be too hot and damage the plants inside.

Sarah Kirby I agree with you because I am going through the same thing and I do hope that Lydia is ok. Depression is a horrible thing and you really have to take care of yourself.
Stuff can never fill the void and make you happy. Sometimes I think having what you need and maybe a little more is where the most happiness is. Lydia is drowning in excess.
This is her job. Creating content is her job, and people like watching this stuff. She has to keep changing so she has content.

Lydia, keep the greenhouse for one year before you put money into the underfloor heating and all the other (more expensive 🤣) things. You need to know the extreme temps it can get to, in the summer it could end up being super super hot. Even in the winter, if the sun is out and the sky is clear, it could be super hot! Then you will know if its actually needed or most likely it'll be quite hot most of the time!!
Yes! We have a greenhouse (nothern Germany, very similar climate to the area Lydia lives in) and there is no way I will spend more time than neccessary in it in the summer. Just wait a full year to see when and how you're actually going to use it - it will save so much money, I'm sure. Besides all that: The greenhouse looks stunning! Can't wait to see how the rest of the area it going to change as well :-)
As someone who has had a greenhouse for years you will not be hosting in it in summer unless you want to sweat. Do with it what you will however greenhouses are built for the purpose of growing veg, plants, fruit, flowers etc... not to socialise in 🤷🏽♀️
I'm sure a your guys are all at the top of their trades - just hope they are going to seal all of those knots in the wood before they paint it. For me, a greenhouse is for growing and propagating plants - cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers etc. why would you want to use it as an entertaining space - with underfloor heating !!! Build a separate summerhouse for that purpose. The greenhouse will need shading when the sun starts shining, especially in summer. Just my opinion of course.
Lydia, why are you aging your beautiful modern new build? Why not use all that renovation money to invest in an country style holiday home?
That's what I think also...but it's still beautiful0
@Sinead Eastwood I don't agree. In Belgium we do that all the time in countrystyle houses. I like that 👍
do you still think the house renos resulted as "aged"?
This is their style. Why not appreciate others style and have your own. We can’t all be TH-cam decorator cookie cutters.
OMG, getting rid of expensive Italian wallpaper in downstairs toilet?!?
I like to know why are you keeping changing? I know you and your husband have money but, that is not the point. Are you ever going to be content in your house? It's 2 years ago that you have started and since then you have not stopped. If I’m not mistaken you have changed your vehicles in a very short time. What is the real story behind this non-stop changes?
Fffffing nuts that's why
She constantly wants more and more. It’s greed and an obsession with perfectionism. It is indeed strange.
Good question!
I actually really like them but do agree as soon as something is done they are on to changing something again. The downstairs bathroom was only done recently. It feels like something deeper, if you aren't content in yourself or are unhappy you look for other ways to make yourself happy (like spending or changing things). I wish they would stop and relax and enjoy what they have already achieved.
Her mother works in a supermarket so I don’t think she has that much money if she does shame on her for not helping her mother out. Also side note she practically beg companies to “GIFT “Gift her things.
Is everything ok with Ali? He looks so tired, poor guy, i know he has high blood pressure, but he looks really tired.

One thing to consider would be that the green house will be very warm in the summer - maybe too warm to sit inside? x
Greenhouses are typically well ventilated so you can control the temperature. Think about it. If it got too hot the plants would die which is the main purpose of a greenhouse.
@@sallyannc3176 what I meant by well ventilated is that they come with windows, like this one does, to provide ventilation. I have a small greenhouse and I’ve never had to use shading but I live in a colder climate.
she’s already thinking too far ahead of herself ...smh
if she was in a county that actually has a proper summer that's when id be concerned lol
This wasn’t to be criticism to
Lydia... this was a genuine question... I have a green house and it’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It would be lovely to have a sitting area inside, but perhaps too warm!
Said with the utmost love but I feel genuinely worried about you Lydia. You seem erratic in this video. I hope you are ok. I think sometimes we need to just take stock and appreciate the world around us rather than focusing so much on materialistic things. I think that would really help you. Said with kindness of course xxx
What do you mean? can you point out to what you saw? I feel like I'm missing something but I also feel like something's off
Her grandfather died... she already said in another video that stuff has been going on ;)
@@TexasBarbie Exactly, and some of the comments on here are unbelievable, xx
@@lindachapman9765 I feel the same. However, I sometimes wish she would take her own advice and take a break sometimes or be more open in her content instead of showing all the positives. I wouldn’t mind if we missed videos so she could grieve in peace or if instead of showing hauls she talked about how she’s coping. I feel that her portraying thsi positive facade makes people feel as though she is doing fine when in reality we don’t really know.
You can only take out what you put in. She’s materialistic. So when she has problems she reacts by shopping and renovating. It’s a little unhinged.
Im confused, not watched in a while but wasnt the house all decorated not that long ago?
She did but now she's changing the floors in the hallway and kitchen. She is also painting the kitchen again and changing the carpet in the living room next door.
She wont be able to have content if its done, so its going to go on forever :D or no more cash for her

Lydia, dont go for a log burner in your greenhouse, get an Everhot mini stove, its electric so no flue hassle , and you can cook in it😃 It will warm the space and cook your camembert and garlic bread for you and the girls. X

Has anyone else noticed the tone in the comments has changed a lot lately 😐😞
I’ve never seen so many people annoyed about the inside of a greenhouse 🙉
I feel so sorry for her. Shes damned if she does and damned if she doesn't. People can be so cruel, judgemental and opinionated, it's very sad to read, God knows how it must make her feel. 😢
Exactly.......
I think it’s because people just expect more from her and wish her to explain everything more than can be done in a vlog style video. This just leads to confusion and I guess people feel annoyed with the constant renovation. I would prefer a sit down video where she explains the timeline and that she just wants to do something’s because she likes it would suffice.
Im sorry, but people in the comments are lame👎🏻, love you @Lydia😍
I’ve been mulling over your kitchen and instead of the arch I’d just take that whole wall out if you want it open. As I said previously you need a roundness to the area for an arch to work. Totally opened up would look amazing and be square to suit the area. As for the cladding I would have carried the hallway design into the kitchen so it flowed through and put beams in the ceiling instead of the cladding. It would have looked more barn conversion and suited the area well.
Why build a greenhouse to have dinner parties in! A heater in a greenhouse too would be absolutely boiling 🥵
Can’t believe the downstairs toilet is being redecorated 😔
I know, what have I missed? I love you Lydia but wow you never stop changing things when you must spend so so much.

LYDIA maybe you guys should have built your own house so you can get exactly how you want. You two have been renovating for over a year to get like you want. Do you wish you should have built the house instead?
I think it is very disingenuous to say she is never satisfied. She has repeatedly said her style changes and she likes to decorate. It’s her money so she can do with it what she likes.
Florist C - if you feel this way stop watching. Of if YOU are jealous, become an influencer too and get free stuff as well. Just because she was smart enough to be doing this first, don’t hate her. Why ruin it for everyone else?
@@angelashock9837 That's her problem, she is all about what's in fashion and what other influencers have. Only shallow people change their interiors as often as she does.
@@angelashock9837 people can say "I dont think she is happy, and I dont think her lifestyle is making her happy" if they believe it. Sometimes friends and family are too close to see things objectively, but I think if she said she was speaking to a qualified psychologist people wouldnt worry as much. Right now a lot of people think she really needs help and saying "don't worry babe they are jealous" isn't being encouraging, it's denial.
C.S. - No. It’s not crying fire, until you KNOW the theatre is on fire! She is in therapy, let her work it out herself. If she doesn’t have issues, all you armchair therapists are going to do is make her feel terrible! She is going through a bad time with the death of her grandparent. Cut her some slack!
Misleading title as usual. Please stop doing that. Thank you in advance.
Click bait. Again.
I’ve been watching Lydia for years and always seen her in the highest light. Recently discovered something that distorted that perception and it put so much into perspective. To anyone reading this these people we watch and follow online are flawed too. No matter how much they strive or display perfection, they’re human. No different to you or me. Perfection does not exist. As beautiful as a lot of what Lydia shows is, it’s also not a lot of people’s reality and she may have ‘things’ but we don’t know her life, what she’s going through, who she is behind closed doors or how she feels even with those things. So please be mindful when watching people online to not compare or feel like you have less because you don’t have what they have.
If you had it, you may not actually want it. Blessings all.✨
I mean this in the nicest way possible so please don't be offended, but if you "discovered something" that changed your mind about Lydia, why do you watch her videos? I don't think that she strives to "display perfection", she is just happy and excited to share aspects of her life with her viewers and it is her choice what she shows us. I do agree that perfection does not exist, however, if you think that about her, why spend time watching her videos and commenting on them. I hope you can understand where I'm coming from. I just don't think you should be trying to throw accusations when you haven't met the person you are writing about.
@G T Amen!
@@izabellajaruszewska1585 check out Rebecca Kelly here on TH-cam, there's 2 uploads..I take everything on here as entertainment and when I put my phone down I carry on with my life!
@G T Please don't resort to criticism and belittling me. Have some respect towards everyones opinions. I have not met her. I am simply stating that YOU or anybody else does not need to watch her if they supposedly know something so bad about her. If it's a free platform then I can watch and comment what I want, just like you.
@@izabellajaruszewska1585 I honestly think the comment was meant to tell Lydia fans and viewers not to idolize Lydia’s life because she has money. You are being overly defensive. It’s not an insult to say that nobody is perfect but people do tend to think that what they see on social media is better and somehow more perfect than their own lives.
No hate but I’m struggling to fathom why someone would build a greenhouse to put a log fire in it...🤷🏼♀️
Cause u got too much money and no common sense is the only thing I can think of lol
Because they want too.....
Lydia described using the greenhouse as an entertaining space as well as a functional space. I imagine that if she wants to have friends over during the autumn/winter/early spring it may be nice to have the heat from the fire.
Many plants need temperature regulation via heating/cooling systems in the greenhouse.
It’s for entertaining and comfort for guests and beach
Use she wants to , please be happy for people who get to live their dreams 💕
a quick planting recommendation - rosemary is very invasive and will grow super quickly, which is lovely but it can get a bit much! I would recommend just the lavender for the border, perhaps with some buxus topiary intermixed, or maybe a low buxus hedge infront of it to prevent the lavender sagging too much into the path. 'French' lavender flowers longer than the English variety, so it might be worth looking into that variety
Haven't watched for a while.....What have you done! The kitchen!? So unneccesary, it was great.
Too much too much too much. Take a break Lydia. I really hope that all of this is helping you through these tough times. Whew I need a break just watching. There is always so much going on. It's just the two of you. Wow! Take a break lady.

Hi that is what she says. The truth is she is from money. Her family do not look like no body s. Ali would not attach himself to a complete loser if you think that was the Truth. Listen to me on ytube I have interacted with a lot of video creators. Guess what they have all without fail answered me back. Lydia has never answered me once. I have been following her for over three years now. With the tubers they have replied because they are genuine they are from working stock. There is ANOTHER English ytuber and she has never got back to ME. The truth is the wealthy do not care about anyone but themselves...for the marriage relationship its fabricated its to cohabit make as much money and then separate.

The Greenhouse looks gorgeous, but don’t get the log fire or seating area for 6 🤔 surely your new outside eating area that your going to build will be for entertaining. You do realise that the greenhouse will smell etc as your sowing plants ! Love the arch in the kitchen, don’t get the cladding myself when your walls were perfect.loved Porter out for his walk.

Ali clearly doesn’t say no to her. She decides it all. I bet he wants kids as well. She says no. He never wanted a dog. But they’ve got one. I wonder why??
I’m beginning to believe she is a control freak. People like her attract partners who are laid back but the laid back partner becomes drained. It isn’t a nice pairing at all. I hope Ali will one day speak out and snap her back into reality and out of her bubble. She just seems not self aware.

Just out of curiosity, where’s the sink and faucets to help water the plants.?
How much ali doesn't care about this greenhouse idea is hilarious 🤣
Dear Lydia, please take notice of all the comments on here. At last everyone is saying what they feel and not just saying something to be kind. There is a problem. Poor Ali looks exhausted and drained and he needs some peace to just enjoy the house for a few months and no more changes. You must see that something is not quite right. People are trying to help you here. Keep changing things wont make you happy. Just stop. Take a breath and chill. The kitchen was beautiful as it was, elegant and contemporary as the house should be. Seeing the dog in a bag. Its so sad. Everyone said to you that a sausage dog is not ideal for really long country walks that a Cocker Spaniel a working dog even would have been perfect. Now you want a pig.....
A quick tip on the tomatoes at the greenhouse: be careful of putting them near the seating area. They are nightshift plants with a distinctive smell that can cause migrane, dizziness or unease to sensitive people.

That archway will drive you nuts. I personally cannot cope with things off centre. Maybe square would have worked better as your kitchen units and cladding etc are very square. Just my personal opinion though but I like lines to match.
Yes agreed,to have an arch and straight lines just doesn't work
Yes, me too, to echo the front door frame and other doors in the hallway... but each to their own.
@@AnUrbanGypsy yes. This I love. It would look amazing and streamlined. It’s all over the place as it is. Please here us. We mean well 🙏🙏🙏
I feel the arch is making everything look short and closed in. It would feel more open to just remove and go straight up to the ceiling. Everything else is square. Never understood why there was a door there in the first place. It’s not something you see in the US.

She mentions they’re screeding the kitchen to prevent a trip hazard. First time I’m reading youtube comments and people are very invested jeeze!
Carly Powell only to the point where we couldn't understand why it WAS being done, to then make many more trip hazards ?!?,
Carly Powell anyway it's lockdown what else can we do 😉 😂 we are not criticising just trying to help 😊
May I ask a question, I understand trying to match up the hall and kitchen floor and I think the tile will be great at the door to minimize wear and tear but if the problem is matching up the height won’t the same problem be encountered in all the other thresholds when you raise the height of hallway?
Greenhouse is like a sauna for plants, no heating necessary and people will hate to sit in there!
Speechless 😶
My husband and I downsized to a 1901 farmhouse here in the states and I learned very quickly everything takes twice as long and cost twice as much lol. I’m surprised at the number of people who are surprised by your want of a fireplace in your greenhouse. I mean look at Joanna Gaines greenhouse. She not only has a fireplace in hers but also the nice wooden table that doubles as a working table and a table for her garden parties. Obviously, your greenhouse is smaller therefore so will the fireplace but it simply makes for a year round garden “She Shed”, perfect for winter garden parties! ♥️
why not continue the same flooring to the living room as well? Carpets get dirty really fast and it very old fashion in my opinion. you can put a huge rug istead.
Anyone else a bit confused over the greenhouse? I mean what she wants in it. To me that not a greenhouse. I mean why have a greenhouse if it not going to be a greenhouse.
But on the side note, it her money, her house. So it her choice, and I bet it will end up looking gorgeous. And I can’t wait to see it!
It can be both...why have a greenhouse if u cant share its beauty with friends n family. Cant hurt anyone to sit n enjoy all the beautiful plants u worked hard to bring to life!!

Greenhouses are intolerably hot and stuffy in summer Lydia, really not the ideal place to be holding a dinner party or drinks with friends, unless you want to suffer with heat exhaustion.

I literally had to stop the video when I saw Ali open the can with his teeth because I was so SHOOK. Oh.my.word. For the sake of your teeth, PLEASE NEVER DO THAT AGAIN. (I work in a dental office). Do you realize how many people crack their teeth from opening cans and bottles that way? It is hard to fix, and especially the front teeth because they have so little support. Sometimes, it's not even worth trying to fix--best case: you'll get a choppy filling, ruining your smile's aesthetic; worst case: you might end up needing extractions, implants, and crowns afterwards. It's just a nightmare for the patient, and infuriating for the treating dentist/orthodontist because it's something that could have been so easily prevented. Not to mention, possible infection occurring later on due to the trauma. You get a toothache out of nowhere and all of sudden you need antibiotics. Get a butter knife to pry open the tab if you don't want to use your fingers.
Your teeth, man, but seriously, you might want to consider being careful.
During these tough times your videos always cheer me up. Please keep them coming! ❤️

It does appear there's a pretty repetitive behaviour indeed brushing over same topics - if it's not redoing the dressing room, it's the kitchen, if not the living room then it'll be the study and so on, but that only shows she's never happy with her choices which makes us doubt her "this is the best..." and "such a great quality such and such" which works on subconscious level to always want more and new and buy and buy and that is definitely not good for the planet and it's a bad advice really.

Be Blessed and Safe, Love Kate Olivia PS a cute weather vane on your green house would be fabulous,
Correction: shiplap the boards overlap each other. Tongue and groove the boards are flush/flat like the cladding you have. Can run both vertical and horizontal.
Greenhouse will be fun to sit and have a coffee or a “read” on a rainy, windy or even snow day.......also a summer evening as an outdoor retreat
Hi Lydia I love how spacious having the door took away has made the kitchen it’s all going look beautiful can’t wait to see when it’s finished xxxx
True ship lap planks have a shaped lip so the upper plank over-hangs the lower plank, picture the side of a traditional wooden barn, barge or rowing boat. This makes ship lap very resistant to water. The clue’s in the name. Tongue and groove can be used horizontally or vertically. Each board has a tongue edge and a groove edge which slot/interlock together with no over-hang. It’s often used as panelling, wainscoting, flooring etc, picture a sauna.
Never had a greenhouse before, have you?
Sorry to inform you that there's no way of getting over Downton Abbey, its just amazing
😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭
I agree!! I’m American, but LOVE it SO much!! I miss it!! 😭😭😭. I wish it would have kept going!
I’ve watched the whole series four times and thinking about watching it over for a fifth because I miss it 💔

I agree, I've just watched the last one tonight, got the movie to see yet. It was wonderful, I'm gutted
For your border go with just lavender. We have both rosemary and lavender planted in our yard and have end up with just rosemary. At least in our area it is a very aggressive grower and you can barely see the lavender anymore.
Plant rosemary in large pot and bury in ground for containment LOVE lavender and rosemary pots at my front door
Well, I’m absolutely in love with the arch doorway but why do I think you will soon be replacing your front door with an arched door 🤣 #oneprojectmakesanother
I could see them with a dutch door, since they seem to have it open a lot in the warmer months!
The greenhouse is so cool. My favorite part is the mechanism the opens and closes (with the pin). Looks vintage style.
Your plans for the greenhouse sound phenomenal, Lydia!
A chandelier would look incredible in the greenhouse. Just a thought.
Happy for all the things that are coming along with your home!

Just a heads up with bees and Porter, our doxie has stepped one on the ground 2 separate times and started having a reaction vomiting and pale gums and had to be rush to er for anaphaltic shock, stinger was in her paw
Severe reactions include: Vomiting, diarrhea, staggering, pale gums, swelling of the larynx leading to difficulty breathing, and sudden collapse. Its was scary and would hope you don't have to experience that.
