I would keep a shower downstairs Maddie in case anyone in the future has difficulty climbing the stairs, for example elderly Parents, children, pets, or anyone with a disability. People do have ‘accidents’ if you know what I mean.
10/10 would agree and recommend. Having a shower on the main floor will be a blessing many times over while you live in the home. We have main floor laundry (which is rare in our neighborhood) and it has a BIG wash tub but numerous times I've wished it had a shower haha. Kids and pets are so messy!
Agreed!👍🏻
I agree, if this is your forever home, you must think of the future when you get older and climbing stairs becomes a problem.
Excellent point!
Plus, when you have a houseful of guests, there may be overflow in the screen room and they'll have a shower.
seeing people filling a old house up with a life again always makes me emotional; to see a house filled in with people and family gatherings.
I love how your style has evolved.
Side note I didn’t realise it had been 2.5 years since I started watching your videos 😂 how time flies…
Maddie, your home is just absolutely gorgeous. You don’t see many houses like this these days with all the new builds and modern interior. This is just heartwarming, traditional and timeless. Well done to you and Alex, you have both done an amazing job! I can’t wait to see what you do next xxx
Can't believe how beautiful you house is....all the hard work and patience has paid off! Feel like 'the snug' will be loved by any children that visit or live in that house 😊
What an absolute dream of a home, even just watching this makes me feel all cozy and inspired!
It's crazy how much can change in a few years. It's beautiful. Currently renovating and completely understand how you don't want to do anything until you can do everything. Love the John lewis home things 😍
Gosh, seeing it all together in one video like this really shows how much time, energy and hard work you guys have put into your home. Never missed a video of yours but you do tend to forget all the details. Truly beautiful and honestly so inspiring. I'm especially looking forward to the bathroom reno! You deserve the impending two week Xmas break for sure! x
I just love your interior style and how each room has changed since you moved in! 😍
It's so lovely to see a UK based vegan vlogger posting food and lifestyle. Lots of inspiration :) I don't have insta or tiktok, just youtube! x
What do their dogs and cats eat?
Wow, your house is so gorgeous. Breathtaking! You two have put in so much work. Very impressed!
Thank you xx
Viewer since 2017, I love how your style has changed over the years, your house is beautiful!
I havent seen your beautiful, cozy home since shortly after you moved in. I can’t believe how much you have done already!! You have great taste, and the house has wonderful bones. Just love your kitchen…the heart of the home!! 💚☮️☘️
Beautiful home. Love the original details and vintage furniture. Can’t wait to see you tackle the rest of the house.
Was so lovely to see how the whole space has come together. I'm about to move into my first space, and you showing all your little tricks and also that it's okay to take your time and truly think about what you want and makes you happy is inspiring.
wow! well done on the kitchen! that floor! and the fireplace wall has soo much more impact. beautiful!
I just found your video and it was so exciting to see what an Outstanding job you both have done with all your projects. Thus far, your home is just gorgeous and love all the choices you have made. Are you sure your primary job isn’t home remodeling and decorating! Can hardly wait for your next video. This is Sandy from Illinois
Awesome house tour, just what I needed. So you have 3 reception rooms (living room, garage conversion, office), an eat-in kitchen, 3 bathrooms (main, guest, downstairs shower), a utility room, and 4 bedrooms -- wow! I know what the real estate mavens would say -- don't remove the downstairs shower because it adds to resale value. In terms of the bedroom you're renovating, would you consider moving away from the green which -- along with pale salmon and ivory -- is so consistent throughout your home? How about a lime wash in a warm tone, perhaps in the honey or terracotta family?
Oh I think this is a great idea, the lime wash. I didn’t quite catch if you said that bedroom faces the morning sun or not. If it does you most likely are up and about by the time the sun comes through the windows-perhaps- but I think considering moving slightly away from the green in that room would be nice.
A big thank you Maddie from the bottom of my heart.
I'm very proud to say that I've been vegan now for over 2 years and it wasn't even something I was considering when coming to your channel..I just wanted tasty recipes,
But you changed my life forever!
Thank you for the wonderful videos
♥🧡❤💛❤💚❤💙❤💜❤
So funny, in the third bedroom, I wondered from which direction light comes in. I guess, either in the wall paint or in fabric patterns, I’d consider a very light, buttery yellow or cream for a warm, cheery glow. A soft, Warm green would be a pretty accent with this and would tie in with the other rooms. A pretty blue and pale yellow together is also cheery, if you prefer to use cold colors. Your house is gorgeous! You’ve accomplished so much and have made stunning choices.

I absolutely love watching your videos for inspo! I've just bought a house with my husband and we are currently doing it up. It's an Edwardian stone terrace so it's always nice to see what can be done with older homes. 🥰🥰🥰
This renovation has blown my mind, it’s stunning and so authentic! Can’t wait to see more 😍
It is amazing what you have achieved in what is a relatively short time in terms of the 'evolution' of a period home...it is just so beautiful. It's also testament to the sheer hard work & time investment you've put into what is a really sympathetic renovation, cleverly finished off with modern comforts.
hey! new here, and I wanna say this is so special! the house was already gorgeous, but you really gave it some new life. that garage conversion is such a great idea, I can see many a fun family gathering there! hoping I get to live in a gorgeous house in the country one day too. beautiful decor in every room! love!
You and Alex should be so proud. It’s amazing what you’ve done to the house. It looks beautiful!
As someone who lives in one room, I love watching your videos! I have so many ideas for when I eventually have more space ❤ Love how your Renovation style has changed over the years too
You’ve really created a beautiful, cozy, family home for yourselves. I love it! Especially the gorgeous kitchen! ❤
Love your videos. My wife and I first found you when we were getting into minimalism. We watched off and on over the years. You guys feel like friends now and we are enjoying the longer videos as well as vlogmas. Hello from south Florida and God bless!
You guys have done such an amazing job, I’ve loved seeing your house projects over the years! I am so in love with your window seat 😍😍😍
Oh Maddie that is the kitchen of dreams! Love your style and how honest you are xxx
Your aesthetic is stunning and you always manage to blend traditional and alittle bit of modern seamlessly
I absolutely loved everything about the cottage. I also enjoyed listening to you on the tour.
Lovely home ❤️ If you hang the mirror in the living room much lower, the people sat on the arm chairs will have to stare at themselves haha. I think it looks nice where it's at!
Before I start watching your video, I wanted to say how much I love your holiday opener. It’s beautiful!
Absolute house goals and so amazing that you have done it all so sustainably using a mixture of old and new 😍 you guys should be so proud of what you have achieved.. continue to inspire Maddie ♥️ xx
Hi both! We are currently renovating our own home, and due to having to prioritise other financial decisions it's taking much longer than anticipated to save up for our renovations and projects! The voucher could really help us finish off a few rooms! So much of our house has been inspired by your journey ❤️☺️ thanks for all the inspiration!
You guys have done such an amazing job! I’m moving next week and this has given me so much inspo! Love love love your kitchen ❤
LOVE YOUR HOME❤ I love all the details and the rustic feel! I wish I was as good as you guys at decorating my home! Love everything about your “garage”! That leather armchair and details all around…your KITCHEN! Oh my goodness!❤
Big hugs to you from Switzerland!
Live in an older home in Oregon ---75 years old (don't laugh). Older homes have their issues and charms. Loved your tour...what a wonderful house. I envy you living in Cornwall, too!
I love your sense of style and color palette. You guys are doing a wonderful job.
I just want to say that I love how you found all of your pieces and the new renovations. I am big on sustainability and getting things second hand, as well as showcasing the character of spaces and you did it so well. Also your accent and voice is very pleasing to listen to. Great video :))) And we have the same name. cool.
I'm watching this one year later.... I do hope you tackled the water issues. You don't want mold in your house honey. It's a beautiful home, you've given me some ideas and I love the fact that you went with vegan furniture.
More reno content coming - best Xmas gift! I'm slowly diy renovating our first home in NZ and get so many helpful tips and ideas from you.
Can't wait for the spare bedroom reno video! All of them are so interesting, still amazed by how the kitchen floorboards turned out!
You have a wonderful eye for detail which shows itself in all the renovations you've done up to now.All in keeping with the period of the house too.John Lewis vouchers would be a great surprise as we really need some updates to our kitchen xx
You've both done a stunning Reno, can't wait to see what you do next. 🙂
Thanks for committing to vlogmas Maddie! My boyfriend and I moved in together for the first time in August so we will have all the excitement to come of buying together and renovating 😄
Love the AGA! Beautiful home tour!
It has turned out absolutely beautiful. Love it so much!
Loved the house tour, amazing to see what you’ve done over two years!
I love every bit of your home. It is so warm and cozy ✨️
Fabulous garage conversion right onto the patio. Everything is beautiful.
Oh my, I'm in heaven watching your vlogs! I love this style 😍
I really enjoyed your video. U do such a good job and u have a talent in description and keeping your audience interested. When u have a home there is always something to do but u r so smart to get it done ASAP while u r young. I look forward to further updates on your beautiful home. Thank u. Ginny
You started the video saying 2.5 years! I was like no way! April 2021 til now is only 18m.😅 thought I was going crazy! Love all you’ve done.
So glad I caught up with you again. The garage, now entertainment room turned out lovely. Happy new year to you and your husband.
That kitchen is ideal. Love it! Amazingly comforting!
Just wanted to say thank you so much for your blogmas content! I look forward to it every evening. You really are going above and beyond with the quality and amount of content- well done team! 💗
Thanks for sharing! Renovation is my favorite part of your channel ❤
Love what you did to your old garage! It's beautiful.
Leave everything as it is, the rooms are beautifully organized, they are incredibly lovely.
Love watching all of your home renovation videos! I'm actually doing up a bedroom in my own home, and definitely taking inspo from you. The gift voucher would also really help with the finishing touches to the room we are renovating, so fingers crossed!
It truly is amazing!!! I would do a built in cupboard around the t.v. in the bedroom so it can be hidden behind closed doors.It can be as deep as that little dresser that is under the t.v.
Your home is beautiful and so wonderfully decorated. Thank you for this great tour.
you should be so proud of how much you have done and achieved in your home its looking amazing and you can really see your style shining through it's the perfect balance of old and quaint without looking outdated and unmodern. It also looks like the perfect place to spend Christmas I'm sure you and your family will have the best most festive time. Good luck with the rest of your renovating!
Wonderful!!! Charming, cozy and tasteful. Such a perfect forever home
In utility room; a large laundry sink instead of the shower, great for laundry (soaking, washing doggies etc).
My favourite addition has to be the ‘garage’. It’s all looking so amazing, you have great taste. Really enjoying vlogmas and it’s so lovely of you to do these giveaways 😊
You have made your cottage really lovely an cosy 😊
I’ve loved following all your renovations since you moved - you have a stunning home. A John Lewis voucher would be absolutely amazing 🎉
thank you so much for your videos. we have an old home, and are renovating it bit by bit. it's been SUCH a challenge, and it's inspiring to see all your hard work and know it is possible, that someday it will look as we dream it to! the days are long, the frustration is real, but the payoff is big (we hope!)
I was just thinking of your first house the other day for some reason and how adorable that one was too. I love to see what you guys have done with this house, crazy it’s been 2.5 years already! Lovely job and I’m only slightly jealous of your English country home haha 🤍
Cannot help saying 🥰, you are BEAUTIFUL 🥰🥰🥰 and your passion for your place just adds to your beauty 🥰
The laundry, you could get the bottom half of the boiler put further back, but then continue the bench around and on top of that so you get more bench space? that bench space you could use for baskets or a plant etc :)
oh my 😍 I forgot how much has changed! amazing work you guys
Lovely! Can hardly believe it’s already been 2 years, you and Alex should be proud of yourselves, you’ve done an amazing job! ❤
Your house is becoming a lovely home and i just love your kitchen xx
Sage vinyl lattice maybe framed narrowly with a lite wood.place over boiler stone wall just to top of opening ? Could add depth,easy to remove and maybe a wood shelf across ❤
Wow Maddie and Alex you have done a lot to your beautiful home.👍👍❤
Love the subtle colours and classic style 😍
Hadn't realised you had a bathroom in the guest room, amazing how much work you've put in so far & it's great you have an office space you can leave at the end of the day, separating work & life is soo important, harder I imagine being self employed.
I just stumbled across ur vlog and I fell in love with everything u r doing! I am so excited to find u and can’t wait to watch all ur work. We just bought a mid century modern home a year ago and r slowly navigating thru our own renovation project…it is definitely a labor of love and money lol. Anywho, so glad to find u and can’t wait to see what u do next ❤
Great house tour Madeleine, you've made it so much more homely already. The last bedroom you ended in, the one with the en-suite, just the wall behind the bed head would look nice papered in something florally, also for your main bedroom the same. It doesn't take much just to do that one wall, but it will give a big impact to the room once done.🥰🐾
Your house is beautiful, we love watching your journey ❤️ My husband and I also recently got married and love watching your videos with our 3 year old daughter! You inspired us to use 'setting plaster' colour in our house too!
abolutely love your home Maddie! It gives me so much inspiration for my own ❤️❤️
The house is stunning, I am obsessed with the kitchen. I hope to one day be able to do a renovation just like this! Looking forward to seeing all of your future renos :) ❤
Loved watching you renovate your lovely home over the last year. I want to start updating my 1 bed flat in London next year and a JL gift card would get me off to an amazing start.
Your home is absolutely magical. 🤗🥰🙏
The house is so beautiful! I definitely would keep the shower. You don’t want to have to add one at a later time. You never know what can happen down the road.
It's great to see your home and progress.
We had fitted wardrobes built and where there was no mould prior to the wardrobes being fitted, mould the appeared because it was the most exposed area of the house and there was then lack of airflow. We cleaned the damp away and lined the walls with polystyrene, which came on a roll and was fitted like wallpaper. is This made a massive difference. You couldn't see the polystyrene and the mould disappeared and the walls became warm to touch where before they were very cold - the house was built of sandstone and breeze block.
The house looks wonderful throughout! You have lovely style!
You have worked so hard and to do so much work yourselves must be so satisfying as the results are amazing and looking forward to seeing the rest of the house as you do it. Thankyou for sharing it. x
I really enjoyed your tour, Cornwall is so beautiful and good to see something in my own country.
Will have to start watching all the back issues
Thanks for the updated home tour! You have been so thoughtful about the changes you have made.
So hope our renovations can look anywhere near as beautiful as yours!
Maddie you have done so much . I would keep the downstairs shower I think there are very useful .
JL voucher today you are been so generous to all of us xxx
Love your home!
Y’all have done a wonderful job!
Maybe Ill just copy your house for my first time renovation this year. I love it all. Thanks
I’ve been watching you renovate this cottage since you moved into it and I have fallen in love with that style of house. Very unfortunately, I am from Texas 😂 So, now I’m on an impossible journey to find an amazing cottage! My husband and I recently renovated an old shop into a shop house and reno is hard. You are very good at what you do! I still haven’t done most of the details in my house 🥲
I love ur home it’s so warm and cozy. Decor is lovely. God bless Happy Holidays ❤
