Guys, thank you all for letting me know about the spam comments of someone someone replying to you. PLEASE don’t reply/click on any links that aren’t me. I’m working with TH-cam to stop this from happening ❤
My father used to say that “It’s cheaper to go first class.” I realized what he meant when I grew up and got my own home; when you buy cheap products, you are always fixing or replacing them; so although it may cost you more money to begin with (for example the more expensive IKEA desk chair, vs the cheaper desk chair), if you buy quality items, they will last you a lot longer. So investing in good quality pays off in the end.
i partially agree. nowadays if you buy stuff that's more expensive doesn't guarantee by default better longevity, just better brand/status/percieved value. big companies literally have people with specialized degrees working in planned obolescence departments making sure that you'll need to replace the item in a certain time period so they can turn a profit again. more expensive stuff will be just designed to last a bit longer than cheaper one and that would be factored into the price so makes no difference. it's mostly prevalent in tech and clothing, less so in furniture though. Want a good furniture go see your local carpenter.
I do have to chuckle about the bookcase. The reality of having a library is that no matter how much you swear you won't add to it, or limit it in some fashion, it always grows. :) High Five!
If you ever fancy a IKEA trip out of London, go to Southampton. Lovely store and walk across the bridge to the shopping centre with John Lewis and tons of great shops and restaurants.
Oh my goodness I enjoyed Mr C's video yesterday and now yours today Luke. Love your buys. That wallpaper and dado rail that you like was a thing in the 80's. I had my sitting room and dining room in this style..I loved it and so glad to see it coming back in style. Thanks for sharing your trip and your lovely soup. Xx
Thankyou luke another enjoyable video. Loved the mirror you brought and cushions are beautiful colour.well done for finding those bargains. I find you and Mr C so funny together and you always have fun.i cannot start the day without my coffee.is sets me up for the day also.
Tip for removing sticky labels (advice from Antique dealer) spray just the label with furniture polish so it is thickly covered. Leave it for about 15-30 mins then it should just wipe off taking the glue with it 😊👍
Great Vlog Luke. Lovely to see Mr Carrington join you for a shopping binge. Well Luke, your will-power failed you. But, you did buy some fantastic items. I hope Zara was pleased with your purchases x
I replaced all my solid kitchen units on one side for the open plan shelving. I can honestly say I would never go back to searching in bloody cupboards again. Seriously go for it, you will be smiling every time you cook 🤗
Loved looking around IKEA with you 2 getting great ideas without the hassle of going around myself lol Wow love the lamp and mirror the perfect place eventually!!! Those cookies look amazing
Love this one Luke. You and Mr C compliment each other’s videos but don’t do exact copy’s . So win win whenever you get together. The things you choose were very stylish especially the lamp and mirror . Zara’s reaction was just great. She’s very understanding and obviously knows you so well.😊
Good morning from a cold Sunny Northern California Luke. Enjoyed Iwan and now having my morning coffee with you. Love the sage green kitchen, and really like the black and white tile floor and it’s so classic. My Nana and grand fathers home In Ipswich had that tile in their entry hallway. It’s just timeless. Loved the tour around IKEA. The one I’d need to go to is miles away from me. Loved you guys in Home Sense…I am so happy you bought the lamp and mirror. I loved the Dalmatian dog in the sale area… cute stuff . I find most stickers are annoying tbh. I like the bigger mirror over the fireplace. Much better in the entryway. The lamp is perfect and the sideboard looks great . Loved your soup and bead supper. I made a vegetable soup using the broth from boiling my roasted chicken carcass that was so tasty and have enough for the week. Perfect for the cold weather we are having this winter. I also bought a wonderful loaf of wheat bread at this polish shop that has all natural ingredients. Have a great rest of the week Luke, Zara, and Maggie ❤❤❤❤
Hey Luke, I can't believe that I'm the first to comment today, Feb. 22nd. I watched Mr. C's vlog last night and really enjoyed the trip through IKEA. I haven't been to my local one in years. It's in Renton Washington in the Seattle Metro area. I liked that sage green kitchen that Mr. C was looking at. I'm looking forward to watching your video now, but I had to get on the comments first! Happy shopping day!! I had to get back on after you mentioned the traffic. Our traffic in the entire Seattle Metro area, in ANY direction is a nightmare no matter what time of day, with or without construction. I grew up in Seattle and it has taken on a whole different vibe from when I was younger. I feel your traffic frustration!!
I thought for sure you were going to buy the Italian looking flower pot. I loved the Ralph Lauren Lamp and the Mirror. You placed them perfectly together; they l👀k perfect! I hope you're feeling better.
Me too Luke... if i love it you can guarantee it's expensive but as they say " you get what you pay for". Sometimes you just have to treat yourself. Great vlog.
Luke, I could watch your videos on repeat and it still wouldn't be enough, such a beautiful guy xx I wish you all the best for your channel and for your good health x
Loved a trip to Ikea, the black and white floor is one of my favs, I have wanted to try that in our bathroom for a while. You can go to Ikea for a couple of things and leave with a car full!
Mirror looks great in the hall, was a bit small over the fireplace , I felt. Look forward to seeing the bookcase build, IKEA stuff goes together so well and for the price is sturdy.
Such a fun vlog. I’m obsessed with my new bread machine too. I love when you go shopping you gravitate to all the same things I would. That mirror is gorgeous and you found the perfect spot for it. Beautiful.
I am tempted by that burgundy red wall colour for my new living room or bedroom that we are having built soon. I have a sage green kitchen as I love green, but I am trying to steer away from it for the new extension. Much love, Soph.x
I love Go in IKEA yes is like Liverpool The football match is on the traffic is horrendous. 😱👍😊 thank you for sharing that enjoyed watching. Take care. Keep safe all the family
I love watching you go round Ikea as ive never been to one.The mirror looks much better near the door than over the fire and i wasn't sold on the lamp at first but now its on the sideboard i really like it. Soup looked delicious too x x
Thanks for the tour around IKEA. Love where you ended up hanging the mirror you bought. It looks so much better there than where you first hung it. I knew you were going to buy that Ralph Lauren lamp! LOL. It looks really good where are you placed it also. Can’t wait to see you put your new shelving unit together for more books. Have a great day. Hugs from the southeast coast of Florida 😎🦩🌞🦩😎
🙋hi from Scotland hi Luke great vidio I have the billy double door with full glass bookcases in black I bought the strip lighting and ran it full length if the door in the inside it looks amazing and lights up all the glasses cheers 🍷 till next time great day out
You HAD to buy that lamp, Luke!! I wasn't sure about that mirror until you hung it opposite the stained glass. That is exactly how a mirror should be placed - it reflects something else beautiful and bounces the light in your entryway. Well done!!
great video good to see you guys out and about some great items in Ikea and HomeSense, the mirror and the lamp look amazing, can not wait to see you design up your bookcase. love to you all xxx
Welp, as you say 'Bob's your uncle, Fanny's your aunt', or 'there you are'... Well done, Luke, with the mirror and Ralph Lauren lamp! Both are stunning pieces of home decor. You have traditional taste which will serve you well as it never goes 'out of style/trend'. Lot's of love!
Luke , I purchased from Amazon a set of connecting screw bolts to join two Billy bookcases together. I haven’t actually used them yet as I’m painting my bookshelves
Hi Luke, such a lovely video to watch. It did cheer me up, thank you for that. I hope you are now feeling better? Hope the bookcase came together ok. Zara does make me laugh. The Ralph Lauren lamp is stunning, a lovely addition to your flat. 😘
Love it when you and Iwan shop together you are such good mates. Do you really carry tomato sauce in your car 😂. The lamp and mirror look great on the sideboard and such a great bargain. Where you forgiven for spending the money 👍🏻. Take care x
Hi Luke, good vlog, l usually have an Ikea visit once a year, that is usually enough for me, the lamp is great, we are having a new bedside table in a couple of weeks and l want a new lamp so will have to do T.K.Maxx by us, mirror looks great in the hall, Billy bookcases are great l have a small one in our spare bedroom but love it, soup and bread looked really nice, good luck with putting up the Billy bookcase x
Hi Luke, great lil shopping vlog as always 🙏 Love that new round mirror in the hallway much better than over the fireplace 👌 The lamp is a great investment piece looks fabulous there too 👍 Have a lovely weekend lovely 😘
I am a pen and paper person too! I am famous for my lists!! I like the strip lights for £4, I want some in my dresser, may have to find a store near me and go look see! I personally love a chequered black and white floor, very classic. The Mirror looks super cool in the hallway, love it there. That lamp was a hefty price though, nice an all but blimey it was spensivo!! However, sometimes paying that little extra for good quality and a well known designer, for what it is, it was a goood price. The main thing was your smile when buying it, that was priceless and so worth it just for the pleasure it clearly brought you. Wev'e all been there I think, I know I have from time to time! Thanks for letting us tag along!
Hi Luke! We once got a shelf from Ikea and yes it did weigh a ton. My husband almost got a hernia it was so heavy. Lol 😄 I'm glad you stayed conservative and didn't go overboard with the shopping. That's hard to do in IKEA & Homesense. You have better self control than I do, but the lamp was a great find for sure! I'm surprised you also didn't get the tan leather foot stool. Thanks for another fun shopping trip. Much love from Fort Worth, Texas! 😊⚘🌱
Love your vlogs together yes I too use those bags they are really good! I had an induction hob I my last bungalow it was OK but when we moved and did the kitchen went back to gas hob love it! I had that flooring in my porch always looked freash. So funny getting that Billy on the trolly Wow what a lamp! Use sticky stuff remover! Lovely mirror but not over the fireplace!
Hi Luke, I love yr new mirror and where you have hung it over the sideboard reflecting the stained glass window opposite. I think the sideboard would be great painted black an ebony vibe with a gold trim somewhere on it. I also think the lampshade would be better in a pale gold colour with some black detail on it, another art deco vibe. Its actually possible to paint a shade or you could source a wall paper to stick on. Have a look at Pinterest for ideas. I love following yourself Zara and Iwan.
Hi Luke loved having a nosey around Ikea wit u & Iwan we don't have one close to us otherwise I'd b in there 4 days 😂 I knew the lamp would jump into ur trolley 🛒😂 it's stunning, the soup looks gorgeous, take care have a lovely weekend & week ahead lots of love to you Zara & little Maggie 💕💕💕
Love that mirror and lamp in your entryway!! Great choices. I bought my son 2 huge white book cases at IKEA it cost me 200.00 your prices are much lower over there!! You will love it when you get it built! Loves from Missouri
Loved watching your shopping trip. My first time here, but my last. That soup and bread looked so delicious! So glad you moved that round mirror as it looks great by the entrance. Many years ago my cousin shared a tip with me about lighter fluid. You can use it to get rid of bubble gum on clothes, shoes, your hair, etc. It will also get out ink and grease stains on clothes, even really old stains. But most importantly, it will remove the sticky left over from price tags so fast you will be amazed. A word of warning, though, it will dissolve rayon or silky clothing. It may also harm precious metals. So be cautious where you use it. I am never without a bottle in my cupboard.
Perfect place for the mirror . It’s gorgeous but didn’t look right above the fire . Also love the lamp not sure I could of justified the price but I love it
The Clearance section in Homesense and TK Maxx are always worth a browse for fantastic bargains. Always enjoyable to see you and Iwan and of course Zara! Mayonnaise is brilliant for taking sticky labels off non porous items - put a small amount of mayo onto the label, let it soak in and wipe off. Surgical spirit, rubbing alcohol or cheap Vodka can be used to remove any greasiness if needed 😊
I day Ralph Lauren (not Laureen) because that's what they called him when he was in Friends. I love the lamp and the mirror, I'm after that mirror too and I saw that Ikea actually do them too 🖤
Team Zara.. the mirror doesn't look right over the fireplace. The old one was better. Good you changed it back. You had a dark woos antik side board in the hall.. but changed it out.
Enjoyed your thoughts on some of the products. I was in Exeter ikea the other week, they have some lovely new products. Surprised at the cost of your coffee /coke and cake. I'm sure you get free coffee if you get an IKEA family card? Or is that just the restaurant? It doesn't cost anything for the card so may well be worth getting one if you haven't already.

I absolutely love that Carol, you & your Father are right for sure x
A friend of mine says "If you buy cheap you buy twice"! 😉
Exactly! I always say you get what you pay for…
i partially agree. nowadays if you buy stuff that's more expensive doesn't guarantee by default better longevity, just better brand/status/percieved value.

The lamp and mirror are lovely and look perfect together in the hall.
I do have to chuckle about the bookcase. The reality of having a library is that no matter how much you swear you won't add to it, or limit it in some fashion, it always grows. :) High Five!
Yes! Yesterday was Iwan and today Luke!! You both are my FAVORITE male TH-camrs!!
I feel that some items at IKEA that I think will be inexpensive are not and vice versa. Am I alone??
I agree
Iwan and Luke are my fav male youtubers too.
LOVE THE MIRROR BY THE DOOR IT LOOKS GREAT 😃
So glad you moved the mirror. It was too small above the fireplace.
Looking forward to seeing the bookcase build.
Enjoying your videos 😊
@luke_catleugh_official sorry not sure what this is about 🤷♀️
Love a good mooch around IKEA you and Ewan have such a good friendship you seem to have such good fun together
Love the mirror and lamp in the hall, such a vibe xxx
Love you guys, two naughty school boys together great watch. 🤗🤗🐱🐕🐱
If you ever fancy a IKEA trip out of London, go to Southampton. Lovely store and walk across the bridge to the shopping centre with John Lewis and tons of great shops and restaurants.
Ahh I visited the Southampton store back in 2019 to help a friend move home there. It’s such a big store, Southampton was great ❤
That is the absolute perfect place for the new mirror and lamp. I love it there. Also, a delicious looking dinner, especially those cookies.
Just beautiful how you decorated the entryway!
Oh my goodness I enjoyed Mr C's video yesterday and now yours today Luke.
Love your buys.
That wallpaper and dado rail that you like was a thing in the 80's.
I had my sitting room and dining room in this style..I loved it and so glad to see it coming back in style.

Great trip to ikea!!! Love where the lamp and mirror ended up!! Excellent choice!!! Tag removal-Goo Gone!!! It’s the best!!
Luke I really like the mirror and lamp.
Good choices. You two have so much fun hang out together. Thanks for sharing.❤
Great Vlog Luke. Lovely to see Mr Carrington join you for a shopping binge. Well Luke, your will-power failed you. But, you did buy some fantastic items. I hope Zara was pleased with your purchases x
Another Amazing Vlog, love a Trip To IKEA with you both,,, Absolutely Laughing When You Said “” You Have Tomato Sauce in The Glove Compartment “” ❤❤❤
Your coats and jackets are so stylish. You wear them well!
The mirror and lamp look so nice in the entry way, you'll never regret getting classic items. Much love from California ❤
I replaced all my solid kitchen units on one side for the open plan shelving. I can honestly say I would never go back to searching in bloody cupboards again. Seriously go for it, you will be smiling every time you cook 🤗
Loved looking around IKEA with you 2 getting great ideas without the hassle of going around myself lol
Wow love the lamp and mirror the perfect place eventually!!!
Those cookies look amazing

Enjoyed watching you both at Ikea 🙂. Such a dangerous place to find cool things with great prices. I spend hours there looking around.
So fun going shopping with you today!
Love it when you are both together 💕 the buys are lovely don't feel guilty get what makes you happy 😁 your home looks great.

@@LukeCatleugh I always look forward to yours and Mr. C's vlogs. I call you two my London Lads. Hope that ok
Thank you guys two great shops and a lovely day out .xxx
I thought for sure you were going to buy the Italian looking flower pot. I loved the Ralph Lauren Lamp and the Mirror. You placed them perfectly together; they l👀k perfect! I hope you're feeling better.
I think I saw some IKEA shoppers recognizing Mr. C, or maybe both of you! Thanks for the fun vlog.
The lamp and mirror look fantastic in hallway, must agree it didn't suit living room but really like where it is
@luke_catleugh_official I've had a message luke saying I've won prize didn't know if it was a scam sent from someone else
Now I miss Ikea. I have to drive to another state to go to one. So it was fun to see it. Have a great day.
A definite YES! on the checkerboard floor!!
Me too Luke... if i love it you can guarantee it's expensive but as they say " you get what you pay for". Sometimes you just have to treat yourself. Great vlog.
Luke, I could watch your videos on repeat and it still wouldn't be enough, such a beautiful guy xx I wish you all the best for your channel and for your good health x
Love the lamp, Luke. Great buy!
Loved a trip to Ikea, the black and white floor is one of my favs, I have wanted to try that in our bathroom for a while. You can go to Ikea for a couple of things and leave with a car full!
I'm glad you swapped out the entry lamp! The previous one was rather dinky. The Ralph Lauren lamp is very smart and classic.
Mirror looks great in the hall, was a bit small over the fireplace , I felt. Look forward to seeing the bookcase build, IKEA stuff goes together so well and for the price is sturdy.
The mirror is perfect where it ended up. So glad you changes your mind for above the fireplace. Great vlog, very entertaining xx
Like how you styled the lamp (which is gorgeous) and the mirror 🇬🇧❤️😄
Such a fun vlog. I’m obsessed with my new bread machine too. I love when you go shopping you gravitate to all the same things I would. That mirror is gorgeous and you found the perfect spot for it. Beautiful.
Please show us where the lamp ends up!😀
Yes! Mirror? Perfect positioning! 👍👍👍👍
I am tempted by that burgundy red wall colour for my new living room or bedroom that we are having built soon. I have a sage green kitchen as I love green, but I am trying to steer away from it for the new extension. Much love, Soph.x
I love where both pieces ended up, well done
After watching Mr C’s vlog yesterday , looking forward to this Luke 🤗
I love Go in IKEA yes is like Liverpool The football match is on the traffic is horrendous. 😱👍😊 thank you for sharing that enjoyed watching. Take care. Keep safe all the family

The way you say cookies is so adorable 😊❤
You HAD to buy that lamp, Luke!! I wasn't sure about that mirror until you hung it opposite the stained glass. That is exactly how a mirror should be placed - it reflects something else beautiful and bounces the light in your entryway. Well done!!
Ahh thank you lisa❤ we absolutely love how it has came together x

I love the mirror and lamp! They look perfect exactly where you put them :)
Welp, as you say 'Bob's your uncle, Fanny's your aunt', or 'there you are'... Well done, Luke, with the mirror and Ralph Lauren lamp! Both are stunning pieces of home decor. You have traditional taste which will serve you well as it never goes 'out of style/trend'. Lot's of love!
Luke , I purchased from Amazon a set of connecting screw bolts to join two Billy bookcases together. I haven’t actually used them yet as I’m painting my bookshelves
I’m off to ikea tomorrow, the Gateshead one. I love ikea. Kalax units are on my list. You two are so much fun. X
Hi Luke, such a lovely video to watch. It did cheer me up, thank you for that. I hope you are now feeling better? Hope the bookcase came together ok. Zara does make me laugh. The Ralph Lauren lamp is stunning, a lovely addition to your flat. 😘
Hi Luke I enjoyed watching your shopping vlog with Ewan and looking forward to seeing your bookshelf up
Luke, my mum says WD40 will help remove those sticker stickery bits! Just a note for next time 🙏💕
Great video and great purchases. Xx
Thank you Luke. Wonderful Vlog.
Blast the stickers with a hairdryer. Heats the glue and usually comes right off with no residue.
That’s a great idea!❤
Love it when you and Iwan shop together you are such good mates. Do you really carry tomato sauce in your car 😂. The lamp and mirror look great on the sideboard and such a great bargain. Where you forgiven for spending the money 👍🏻. Take care x
Hi Luke may need a trip to ikea, you are lucky Maggie doesn't moult much my nearly !3 year old black Labrador never stops moulting
Hi Luke, good vlog, l usually have an Ikea visit once a year, that is usually enough for me, the lamp is great, we are having a new bedside table in a couple of weeks and l want a new lamp so will have to do T.K.Maxx by us, mirror looks great in the hall, Billy bookcases are great l have a small one in our spare bedroom but love it, soup and bread looked really nice, good luck with putting up the Billy bookcase x
Hello lovely lads. You are both a breath of fresh air. Love you lads! 💗💗
I’m in need of a new bookcase since I own way too many (and more to come) so I might go to IKEA soon and get this one aswell!
Love you’ll shopping trips together. The office chair was fun.
I love the use of Mirrors in the Entrance Hall I have two large identical ones it makes it looks ❤so much larger.
You guys are adorable together!
Hi Luke, great lil shopping vlog as always 🙏
Love that new round mirror in the hallway much better than over the fireplace 👌
The lamp is a great investment piece looks fabulous there too 👍
Have a lovely weekend lovely 😘

Hi Luke loved having a nosey around Ikea wit u & Iwan we don't have one close to us otherwise I'd b in there 4 days 😂 I knew the lamp would jump into ur trolley 🛒😂 it's stunning, the soup looks gorgeous, take care have a lovely weekend & week ahead lots of love to you Zara & little Maggie 💕💕💕
Love going shopping with you two
Thanks for the video Luke. Love the round mirror. Maggies face watching you use the lint remover, soooo cute. Thanks Gale. PS the cookies look delish👌
Love that mirror and lamp in your entryway!! Great choices. I bought my son 2 huge white book cases at IKEA it cost me 200.00 your prices are much lower over there!! You will love it when you get it built! Loves from Missouri

Yeah never go cheap always go up a little pays off spending a little more
I day Ralph Lauren (not Laureen) because that's what they called him when he was in Friends. I love the lamp and the mirror, I'm after that mirror too and I saw that Ikea actually do them too 🖤
Ewen is the genius from the show with Stacey 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
My husband is a kitchen fitter and has fitted those downward extractors. However you lose cupboard space underneath. Something worth considering.
I like Ikea but sadly there isn't one in Kent to visit. They need to build one down here.
Team Zara.. the mirror doesn't look right over the fireplace. The old one was better. Good you changed it back.
You had a dark woos antik side board in the hall.. but changed it out.
