Lucy, one thing I have learned being a homeowner is that nothing is ever “done” or “perfect” and that is frustrating. But it’s just a part of life. The floors will always need a vacuum and something will always be broken. You will feel like a mouse in a wheel if you stress about it. ☺️✌🏻
Kathleen Crozier congrats on owning your home x
So true, once one thing is cleaned another is messy again.
It's so true. I have a hallway that still isn't painted almost 2 years into owning my house. And it ain't even on the to do list yet. But luckily, when it's your house, you get to take as long as you want and it doesn't matter!
I wanna see what the cat did!
This made ALL THE DIFFERENCE. I like to call the previous colour “Landlord Yellow” 😂
So true! Same in my flat
Tip for the dust mask, use the metal strip to mould it around your nose so it fits, will stop it hurting so much and seal up gaps for dust to sneak in through.
Lucy's background music never fails to put me into some kind of early 90s late 80s sitcom kind of vibe
Depending on when your house was built the paint on your fireplace may be lead based so something worth checking as you shouldn’t sand it if it is
You can buy lead test kits online, which is what I did :) I believe it's best to check for any house built before 1970 ish?
my dad came into my room while i watching the vlog and asked me if im talking to a friend, and i said "yeah basically"
Use a paint stripper on the fireplace. Gel is better than liquid since it's mostly vertical. Be super careful not to drip on the floor. Use a scraper for most of it and a stiff brush around the details. But check that there isn't any lead paint first.
Paint stripper is definitely the way to go for the fire place! Plus it'll make extremely satisfying vlog footage
I think you must be the most charming and endearing person on youtube! Your videos have me giggling the whole way through and make my day so much better. Thanks for that!
The pick your fighter bit cracked me up!
your home and decorating vlogs have been such a comforting thing to watch during this quarantine! i feel like i'm right there with you helping to paint the walls
the 80's synth music while you're sanding the wall was...superb.
The changes since your first moving vlog are unreal, you've done a bloody amazing job!! Please keep these sort of videso going, LOVE YOU!!! Xxxx
I painted my bedroom over the last few days and I moved as much furniture into the centre of the room as possible as I really couldn't be bothered to move it all out of the room and disassemble things. It's gone from pruple and cream to a deep teal and white and I'm loving it. Now comes the task of moving all my clothes back in and filling the wall up with new decorations
I've been having some not so great days, but your video is really doing the trick in lifting me up a bit. I love seeing the progress of your house and that you don't hide normal people struggles.
Ahhh the "choose your decorating fighter" cracked me right up 😂
I have Disney+, Netflix, Amazon Prime and I can honestly say that your vlogs are genuinely my favourite thing to watch at the moment 😅
Keep 'em coming please & thank you.
Coming from a family where all 3 of my children work in the video game industry, "Choose your fighter" sent me rolling!
I’m still crying ‘five o’clock jazzasize’ ! It’s just tickled me 😂 x
Also, during your chat about throwing tea I managed to slosh my cup of coffee all over me and my couch. As I'm yelling to my boyfriend to bring me a towel I could just hear you going on about throwing tea 😂😂.
Lucy your videos bring me such peace it's my little self care routine in the bath watching your videos thanks for continuing to make them!
I feel the pain Lucy. Litteral pain because my back,shoulders and arms are falling appart. I've been scraping the walls in my reno house and there is 10 different layers of all sorts of old paint that needs to come off. The ceiling is the worst. And also, having someone come and do it requires a lot of money. The living room looks so good, you styled it perfectly.
1:58 1970s British Television presenter is everything, this guy would tell you exactly what accent shade of brown you should get for your floral sofa
Very much enjoyed the Lloyd Grossman from Through the Keyhole circa late 90s/very early 2000s when you were describing your living room walls 😂
It honestly looks SO GOOD. Well done. Like you, I'm a bit of a collector of illustrations, ceramics, etc (I'm an illustrator so I just can't stop) and the white paint truly displays everything so well. LOVE!!
Lucy makes me happy to watch her paint a wall 😂 totally love bright white! The greenary looks so good against it and the gold mirror looks so cute
The tea flingers cracked me up...you're so funny 😂. I always look forward to your videos, to see your home progressing, that and your great sense of humour 😁
You’re over there painting your house and being an adult and I’m older than you eating microwave nachos from my moms couch because I still live with her. I’ve never felt less accomplished 😂
hard same
Everyone's different. It'll happen when it's meant to
Yay you got a little detail sander! It's so much easier than hand sanding. The walls look so lovely!
Freaking love it! More, more, more! I never tire of before and afters, even if minuscule changes happen hehehe! but this was a good'en, you weren't wrong :) I spent the day stacking my eco flooring in to piles so the air can circulate - Husband is going to lay it.... eventually... - thanks for the Inspo for that :)
Lucy, you’re the most down to person ever. So glad you’re on TH-cam, watching your videos brings a sense of normality for me during this shitty time. Keep doing you ❤️ p.s don’t pressure yourself to whack out amazing vlogs, your day to day life is exactly what I love to see!
That before and after is so gorgeous I had to pause and have a good look
I was very impressed with your Lloyd grossman from through the keyhole impression at the start
Was just thinking this morning that I needed another Lucy vlog. Came at the perfect time xxx
Needed this vlog this morning. You're my favorite TH-camr of all time and I've been watching TH-cam since the beginning!!
Looks so much fresher and cleaner now.
The only channel I watch instantly when you upload!! Making my days much brighter at the moment. Thank you Lucy! xx
Well done 👍 this was a big job , it makes a huge difference, each item ticked of the list is time to celebrate.
You have once again given me the kick up the bottom I needed to finish my hall . I'm of to get everything out the cupboard.. and we lol Lisa my gorgeous Wifey and I are getting this done lol first thing tomorrow. Because it's all ready to do , that's the only time we can guarantee we will do it , if we woke up tomorrow and we didn't see the paint waiting.. it would not happen. Even getting the snacks ready
Thanks again and stay safe xx
I love that you have A LIVING ROOM FRIDGE!!!!
These are my absolute fave videos at the minute I can’t get enough of Lucy and her renovations!!💛
"I'm just getting tired and bored of it now" is my whole mood always. You did such a brilliant job your lounge is just lovely!
Always so happy to see a new upload from you! Thanks for bringing normality and cheer xo
I have only watched 1 sec of this video and can already tell that this will be the highlight of my week! I love your videos so much 🥰
The living room looks so much better, what a transformation!
I've been struggling a lot with this lock down. 0 motivation... Feel like utter poop mentally but this video inspired me yesterday morning to get up and paint my kitchen (which needed done for months now) and I cannot thank you enough... Completely forgot about Coronavirus ❤️
Really made me chuckle when you were talking about the previous owners and how they must have surprised themselves a lot because of all the tea spillages 😂😂😂 Love your videos xxx
Gorgous guys!! Love the freshness, great job 👍🏻 👌
THE WAY YOUR LIVING ROOM IS DECORATED 😍 OMG I LOOVE IT
With the size of your garden, & shed, maybe just get a strimmer if you can manage with it as lawnmowers take up more room than is helpful.
It's skimming that you need doing on the ceilings
Hey Lucy! I don't normally comment on TH-cam videos, but I've just recently discovered your channel and I absolutely love it! I've been binge-watching your videos while stuck at home and I love the cosy, homey vibes. :) Your interior style is just beautiful and combined with '80s-style music?! Perfection! 👌
The transformation is so good, your living room looks gorgeous
Loving these vlogs Lucy, you really are working so hard and it shows. Question please, would your Smeg fridge fit in the alcove to the side of your fireplace? Thanks for sharing xx
Living room looks amazing!
I’ve restored my staircase and cast iron fire place in my Victoria Terrance house (on the Wirral) and I swear by a heat gun to remove the old paint. It’s more fun than sanding as well.
It’s looking fantastic Lucy! Getting there bit by bit. You should feel so proud of yourselves x
oh lucy! that reveal!! it looks fantastic 💫
🤩 loved this vlog! Oh no to Flo doing something to your floor! The living room.is looking tip top 😍
i see that The Wonder Years vinyl in the background, and glad to know you like them!
Was feeling completely fed up...... this video is definitely what I need! Thank you Lucy 🙏 Love your channel xx 😚
Yeeeeess!! Was about to do some assignments, but procrastination will continuuuuuueee🤘🤘🤣🤣🤣🤣
Looks great Lucy! Great job! Sorry to hear about the cat damage to the new floor though.
Ugh just what I needed THANKS LUCY ! also there is nothing better than a freshly painted room 🤤 so satisfying
I love your videos Lucy! Thank you for always providing me with great entertainment!
I am LIVING for these vlogs. Thank you!
Beautiful job! 😍 I waited the whole time for you to show us the damage to the floor! Hopefully it can be fixed eventually!
For the fireplace I would recommend using the sander for the bigger flat bits and then for the grooves and hard to get places use paint stripper,. That's what's worked best for me xx
Your decorating dungarees are the cutest❤
the best video to come home to after work, thank you for making me smile again
the transformation photos are phenomenal! 👏👏👏
Room looks so much better!! Good work!!
I love these vlogs they make me feel like I have a pal to catch up with! Btw, you’ll need to get the ceiling skimmed, don’t try and sand it yourself as it might be asbestos depending when the house was built,. Xxx
lucy it looks freaking amazing!! X
Yay! Congrats Lucy! 🎊🎉
You should definitely make a tiktok account! Your impressions are hilarious!!
Wow the after photo of your living room is amazing! you've really brightened up the place, made it homey and modern.
I think everyone want's to know.... What did Flo do to the floor?
Clicked so quickly! Need this today x
Loving seeing the progress in your house. Its great to get another task crossed off the list. Keep em coming. I'm still working in a care home so videos like this help me relax when I get home! Xx
Oh no how do Flo manage to break the floor?
The living room looks amazing!
Well done Lucy looks great x
if you want to strip the fireplace from the paint and keep the details, definitely use the paint stripper, otherwise you will still have bits of paint and loose the details in wood! but also check first if it isn't lead based x
Putting off starting my uni revision, what a perfect time for an upload
Your d.i.y vlogs are really inspiring me to get my bum into gear on the list of jobs for our house. Good Friday is gonna be spent drilling various holes in walls to put things up...all fuelled by the massive chocolate bunny I bought.
What a nice clean slate!! Great job!!
Lucy, you’re the best. Love your videos so much 💗
Can you please do a what I eat in a day video? 💓💓
Love the room so much! ❤️🤍
I am loving these vlogs!
Perfect timing! We have been painting our livingroom too 🙂 Xx
Living for the pan pipes in the 80s music montage 👌🏼
You never fail to cheer up my day😊😂
Good job! It looks amazing! Just curious, what damage did Flo make on the floor?
probably claw marks, like scratching. Either that or pee/poo stains.
That wonderful 80’s music in the background, what is it? I‘d love it for my uni distance learning sessions🙈
For the fireplace you can buy a (I don’t know the official name 🙈) heat gun type thing that melts the paint so it will easily scrape off ❤️
Looks amazing! Hard to believe it’s the same room 😍
it looks amazing!!
Good luck with the ceiling, Lucy! We had textured ceilings in the smallest room in our house (aka my office), and. It. Was. A. Nightmare. I'm okay with living with the rest of the house with textured ceilings....
Looks amazing 💕
Your room is beautiful. I love how you decorated
I don't know if you can pull your fireplace off the wall, but you can have wooden painted doors "dipped" which strips them off all paint to return to their former glory.
I would imagine the same goes for your mantle?
My house also came with gross yellowy cream walls, makes such a difference just painting white!
Hogwarts ad before your video and I'm not even made because it is so you😂😘
