I would not be happy with my husband if he purchased a chair for the house without talking to me about it and getting my opinion first. You have the patience of a saint, my dear! Btw, your house is so beautiful 💕
The new antique desk is so much better suited to the room the previous desk looked too small for such a large room. Charlie has great taste in antiques and I love the room 😍
I think that there is lots of pressure to have a perfect home straight away. All these beautiful homes you see on Instagram have been curated over years not months. I disagree with getting a designer in. Make it your home. Take your time. Invest in pieces. Make your own mood boards and create a home that is intrinsically you! You both have very good eyes and we all make mistakes, that is part of making a home look lovely.
Charlie has done a great job in decorating the office. The finished side looks so good! The lighting in the office may be the best in the whole house I think. Love the desk!
DEAREST JOSIE , HELLO DARLING , HOW DO YOU DO ? MOST MEN WOULD BE " CLUELESS , " WHEN IT COMES TO HOME DECORATING IDEAS . BUT CHARLIE IS JUST THE OPPOSITE , VERY PASSIONATE AND ORDERLY . THAT'S A GOOD QUALITY IN A MAN . DARLING JOSIE , KEEP HIM , AND THROW AWAY THE KEY . 😄 WITH LOVE , PRAYERS , HUGS , AND SWEET KISSES , FROM ME , AND MY FAMILY , " THE ROTHSCHILD'S . " KISS YOUR ARISTOCRATIC NAUGHTY BOYS FOR ME . 😊😍😍😍😍😘
I have been watching you for so many years Josie and I love your vlogs! I have been noticing though that when it comes to decorating, if Charlie likes something then it stays even if you aren’t sure on it, whereas if you like something and he isn’t so sure, it has to go. You have such a good home sense and I just hope you are getting a say in things too as there’s been quite a few times now that I’ve picked up on it. I hope all is ok xx
@@JosieIrons I am so happy to acknowledge this instead of saying it’s not true. Really classy :) stick to your tastes as well and hopefully you guys can find a balance of tastes 🥰
I think a decorator could mediate your different style directions very well, helping to craft a blend of masculine and feminine, old and knew, even if just a consultation. Then all purchases would be done with an overall vision, after measuring and agreeing. Having said that, it is nice that you both give each other freedom of expression here and there, and are equally invested in the outcome. And your home is looking so 🔥
Whether called a decorator or designer, the person must be experienced and well-known with a good resume and history of working on homes costing in the price range of that house, as well as its historical history and restraints.
@@georgekenny6174 They got a landscaper to do plans for their garden. Why on earth is it nonsense to get a decorator for the interior? And I do mean decorator as there is no need for a designer to make design modifications to spaces/areas, as they are prohibited to do so by law.
Okay, iI just had to quickly pause your video 10 minutes in to make a comment. I love you both but Charlie seems to be taking control over the decorating of the entire house. I feel like you should compromise. Josie, your bedrooms are BEAUTIFUL and they suit your personality and your style. Charlie, the gym, the study etc..are much more masculine English Library/Pub - and you've done a great job with them. While I agree (and no one asked me but I'm offering up my unsolicited opinion anyway) that the house suits a more old English masculine vibe, it is not like it does not suit Josie's more feminine softer vibe as well. The fun is to see both of you put your personal touches on different rooms of the house. That is what makes your vlogs so interesting and fun to watch. It would be boring if all the rooms looked the same. We can watch that on any old heritage-style decorating or historical home program. Again, love you both. Compromise is the key to happiness :-)
Personally, I'm with Charlie regarding master bedroom, style wise. There are such an exceptional choice of different styles which can be found at the same store their current bedroom was purchased from, which would suit the period and English country house much better, still keeping in touch with Josie;s personal taste and vibe. It's surely matter of taste, but style vise, period vise, geography vise - there are much more suited options for magnificent master bedroom than current one. It's lovely, but it's just wrong for that majestic old house, situated in English countryside. If they opt, one day, for at least french country rather than Versailles, I'm positive the difference would be amazing and Josie would be very pleased indeed with the change. I don't want to be that person, but not hiring professional help when you have such a huge and not easy project on your hands, usually proves to be expensive mistake. Lately, Josie and Charlie seem to be on the right track, most of the time, which is lovely! Keep up the good work! All the best!
One needs a balance in their decorating tastes so that the house energy is fluid and not stagnant . It is about the yin and the yang, feminine vs masculine. Also it is challenging because the couple needs to feel comfortable with all the chosen furniture or more ‘permanent ‘ pieces otherwise subconsciously there will always be that unhealthy state of feeling that a particular space does not feel right, especially if it’s a shared space.
What a beautiful house you both have! Lovely to add old antique furniture to magch it! But you need your say as well, my darling! Don't let him talk over you!! Lots of love x x
Keep the bed linen in a shade of white. Wheat colored, linen and raw cotton would all be lovely. Having white bed linen is a sure way to get a good night's rest.
Just because the house is old it doesn't mean that everything in it has to be old or look old. We are living in 2021, with computers, TVs, Thermomix, etc. Not all things have to perfectly match the house, you just need to really like and enjoy what you put in it. Your bedroom furniture is lovely.
There's a line of thought that says if you're moving furniture around all the time, or buying things like crazy, it means your sex life is unfulfilled.
I saw Antique furniture and I knew I’d love this vlog already! Anyone else is recognizing how Charlie is really getting into enjoying decorating and shopping for their home? Josie I’m fine with mixing it up - fashion and then some interior designs too😊I enjoy ‘em all! Side-note: I agree with him about the turmeric staining everything. I’ve experienced this too😩
Josie and Charlie you are love ❤️ A couple who are so respectful of each other. U may not agree like all us couples but you hear each other out with respect and there's always laughter in your home. It's a delight watching your videos every single time. Like sage bed linen or even vanilla would be gorgeous in that bed.
Who else heard Josie sighing when Charlie said that he doesn’t like the mirror and it doesn’t suit the house? I feel so bad for her 🥺💔she definitely has a saint’s patience.
The round one needs to be in a bathroom and the bigger one she bought fits right in. Charlies chair doesn't suit that room either. The room needs a much more comfy, upholstered chair. IMHO...Sorry Charlie. :-)
Eeekkkk a cold Sunday evening filled with 45 minutes of wholesome vlog, can’t wait!!! (Ps it’s clear you’re much happier in your content now which makes us as your viewers even happier🥰) To anyone else reading this, I hope youre having an amazing weekend?? Stay safe whilst seeing your family and friends!! Remember to keep smiling, lots of love a small time TH-camr trying to spread positivity❤️❤️
I'm have a very feminine personal style and thus would never buy such an exceptionally old house. When you do make the decision to buy something so old, it is incumbent upon you to honour that heritage and architecture.
Lol seeing the behind the scenes of getting the chair up the ladder and through the window was funny. Where there is a will there is a way! The partner desk is stunning and a lot more functional for the both of you. Getting some drawer/storage organiser's will help keep the large storage area tidy and accessible 😊 The rug works really well in the dressing room and will work well with a pouf in the middle of it. 😊💛🐶🐶
I love the thought of adding a terracotta color to your guest room linens. I think it will pair nicely with your sage greens and the natural wood in that room. 🌹🌹🌹
No Charlie, I’m American and I love old classy furniture 🪑 and things. But everyone I know wants contemporary modern. The thing I find is that people are always trying to change their home into something that it wasn’t meant to be and they never stop trying and then wonder why they never reach their goal.
I am American and I love old classy furniture as well. There is nothing like the beauty of the antiques who stand the test of time and have that beautiful wood. To see the functionality that you never thought of from those classy peices.
@@reginafetty6374 and that's why we take our time hunting for the perfect piece of furniture instead of buying the first thing we see. When you move into a home you have to give it a chance to speak to you. Charlie's rushed the process but maybe it's because he's so young & thinks he needs everything at once
Don't you love when your dogs are watching you through the windows as you arrive back home!???!!!! I love how you and Charlie have different styles that tend to work in an old lovely home!!!!
Lovely vlog. Your home is gorgeous, and it’s obvious both you and Charlie care deeply about making it feel like home for you both and having it reflect your respective styles. I’ve been watching your channel for 5 years, and have always admired your relationship with Charlie. I just want to say that no one should be judging your relationship or making assumptions about it. As viewers, we only get a glimpse into your life. We don’t know anything about the inter workings of your relationship. I just felt that needed to be said. Anyway, thank you, as always, for a wonderful video.
I’m so pleased for you that you painted the prima in your powder room. I just wish you weren’t apprehensive about doing it without Charlie knowing. I think Charlie is a sweetheart, but as some who has been married for 20 yrs (I’m 43), mutual respect of equal levels, to each other is essential for both people to be happy. I love the rug in your dressing room, the partners desk and the whole vlog. A great use of 40 mins as always - thank you both 😘🤍🤍🤍
I’m quite surprised at some of the comments below I think the difference of opinion is wonderful, clearly they have created a relationship where both parties feel safe to disagree with each other , feel empowered to try something or buy something for the space they share TOGETHER , and to be quite honest I really appreciate the fact that Josie leaves these parts in her video and doesn’t just show their life as always seeing things eye to eye. That’s not reality it’s not the reality of mine or anyone else’s relationship, The different opinions is where creation happens / if we all thought the same nothing new could ever be 💕
For the attic (?) bedroom you could paint the chest of drawers a dark brown or a moss green and change out the knobs to an older style that fits in better, perhaps in brass. I think cream coloured bedsheets or in the wheat shade, nature colour range would be lovely. With all the items you have bought and then had to sell because they didn’t work out you could have afforded an interior designer to give you ideas as to what to purchase and places to find them that you may not even be aware of. They also would look ahead at what future plans you both have and make suggestions for smart investments now that will still work down the line. Just a thought...and better late than never.❤️
I love Josie and Charlie interacting- they are normal people and both have great taste. They want to do right by the house and the period of the house and I see Josie wants some romantic girly things, like I do. I love this couple so much!!
I don’t think anyone is about about another VLOG. Personally, I prefer them! I don’t think anyone is really motivated in a fashion sense... leggings all the way! Love your videos ❤️
Anyone can buy new furniture. Classic antiques furniture elevates a room to a higher level. It adds your personal style that cannot be copied. For inspiration look at Ralph Lauren’s residences. The quality and patina of old wood is much better than newer pieces.
I agree....he is very much like me in style and food. But I do like the soft feminine touches Jose brings, but not too much for such a house. The balance between the two is wonderful and charming. Charlie is very clever and logical. An old heart Brit....but not always right...lol
I like some of the modern furniture mixed with the antiques otherwise it looks a bit old fashioned. Keep the bedroom as it is its looking great. Would drive me mad if my husband kept buying things without consulting me. Especially if he moaned about your painting....you did a bloody good job! Xx
Josie seems to me to be a thoughtful and fair person........perhaps she was pleased with Charlie’s enthusiasm for the house, in the beginning, and maybe it’s just beginning to get under her skin. I don’t think Josie would allow herself to be walked on to any extent. She has backbone and she follows through. I think we might see a change in the dynamic very soon. Women who please men too much are eventually not respected. It’s a delicate balance. Wouldn’t you say
Maybe Charlie is in control of finances and most expenditures for this house, that's why he can boss around and Josie has no choice. I don't think Josie youtube channel brings enough money to own/decorate this house.
Oh I am so happy to see the new /old desk, it is so right for this gorgeous room. I love your vlogs, much prefer them to fashion any day. I can see you two with your own TV channel one day lol. I love the way you both remain civilized even when you aren't in total agreement lol. "Living the life in the Cotswold's" lol. Charlie cracks me up, I get his attitude, he often reminds me of my hubby of 42 years. One has to have differences without anger for goodness sake. Both of you delight me xxxxxx
Josie, you have done with Charlie the most warm and cozy interior from all the influencer I follow, enclude Lydia and Eli. It is so nice and special style.
I love these home style vlogs. I like the guest bedroom, it's looking good with the new chair. Great choice Charlie. For the bedding, I would go with a small print duvet cover and try and pull in the same green colour from the headboard. A little print in the room would be great. The new desk is amazing. Love the office. Take care!
I am just wondering..is this Charlie's house? Josie, you just wanted to move a floor lamp and he had to say be careful. You are not allowed to paint a room off of your dressing room without concerns of his criticism. Josie, I love your style, it brings a softness to the home so that it doesn't look like a man cave.
Oops, I almots feel this vlog has a bit of an agenda, reading the comments now. Hope that was not Josie's deliberate intent! I recall Josie saying that Charlie advised her not to paint herself, as she can use her time better. He's right! Why not create fabulous content to grow your channel? The painter can't create content, but he can paint. Any business owner or manager would agree. What I now do want to see though, is for Josie to follow through and paint that entire bathroom, including the cutting with a paint brush. When she's finished she can let us all know if she thought it was worth it from, a time is money perspective. It could be a valuable illustration of using your time in your day and your business. How many reels could have been filmed while painting walls? The paint guy can't film reels, but he can paint. Let the dude paint.
@@carolinaochoa7900 Time will tell of course. Let's wait and see in the next vlog if we get a time lapse of Josie finishing the project. I was surprised when Josie asked in the previous blog, if we think she would also have to paint the corners and edges next to the beams with primer. Of course one absolutely has to! Primer needs to be applied on every single bit of plaster, especially new, in order for the paint to adhere to the wall. Keenly waiting for Josie to get the brushes and the latter and will absolutely be cheering her on. Also excited for her time lapse of the chosen paint colour to see the new transformation xx
@@leeg2252 the walls are being wallpapered. She was doing a mist coat. If she wants to do the mist coat herself, then she can. With a lack of inspiration for content, doing something like painting is a great way to switch off from constant thinking about how to create content, and get back to being present.
I have to say yours and Charlie's home is STUNNING from top to bottom. Also my dog got on his hind legs with his face to the TV when he saw your little boys
Hi Josie and Charlie I've not watched all the vlog as of yet but, I just think the set of grey drawers in the attic room should stay.. The contrast from the dark wood and the grey lifts the colours of each.. But it's personal preference. Either way I'm sure it will look great. You've done well so far to chose the furniture to suit one's historical stylish home.. X
🤣 When you said the Charlie room instead of the powderroom. Try oat colored bedlinnen (or something else you have in that color) that you already own and love in the attick bedroom. Just lay it on the bed to see if it's the right choice. 😱 Charlie wants to change the master bedroom. Nooooo keep it!!! It's so lovely and perfect.
Yay!! So happy to be watching a vlog! I’m happy that you are just doing what you want to do and not pressuring yourself to make content you aren’t feeling! Excited to watch!
I Just love your daily/weekly vlogs! love the fashion but I think I like the home blogs even better! Thankyou for moving the lamp out of the corner in your office! much better! Love the desk!!!! Your grocery store looks so fun to shop at, yummy and beautiful home products ! so glad you are getting your own beautiful desk chair. you and Charlie are such a cute couple and I love your "discussions"! Hee Hee
Sunday’s are always complete with a Josie Vlog! By the way, the chair that Charlie purchased we had a dining room set with those chairs, so comfortable. The house looks incredible! Your conversations are a hoot with Charlie! I’m an American 🇺🇸 and I get it, maybe because I had a British boyfriend not long ago. The green looks good in that room, very warm and cozy. xx ❤️🌸
Josie, I can see why the study is your favorite room. The paint color you and Charlie picked works so well with everything, and the view from the windows is so beautiful! I’m afraid I wouldn’t get any work done...too busy gazing out of the windows. The new desk is perfect. The rug in your dressing room is a really nice addition, it does cozy it up. Love the design of this room. The boys cuddled in their doggie bed by the study window was so precious! ❤️
I have to laugh now Charlie bought one chair for a huge house and people are here up in arms that he is making all the decisions about the house and not asking her opinion etc. I mean come on people get a grip. That house is huge and have rooms that we have not even seen yet. This is what real life is, both buys stuff and sometimes the taste clashes. No need to make big drama about it. I personally enjoy that Charlie is in the vlogs and enjoy him telling things, why people find it arrogant I don't know maybe that says more about them than about Charlie. So keep the vlogs coming.
Hear! Hear! It’s nice to have somebody defend Charlie. He cops a lot on here, based on passive aggressive comments either from other commenters or Josie and it’s really horrible.
TFS! For the bedding I see a light cream background with a wildflower print that may include a soft pink. I'm sure you'll find the perfect set. Happy Sunday!!
One thing that I absolutely love about your house related videos and vlogs in general is you could be at home all day but I'll feel like I'm going to different places with you. Each part of the house has its own character which is really nice and relaxing! Do stick to the vlogs Josie! Love from Ireland
Why to buy a wood chair when your room has so much wood already. Fabrics and cushions will make the room more cozy and comfortable. When you are inside a bedroom...you want to rest, unwind...be cozy and comfortable.
Oh dear! If my husband was as involved in our decor as Charlie, we'd be divorced. Especially if everything is inspired by a tv show...Lol! You're very good at compromise tho. 🤣
Your paint job in the bathroom looks fantastic!! You have so many amazing skills. I love your feminine decorating skills and Charlies as well. Together, you both seem to sort through everything and make everything look amazing in the end. I'm so glad you don't hire a decorator, because you do a far more amazing job then any decorator I've ever seen!
Couple comments: When arranging things always have odd numbers. (I think someone already mentioned this below.) Also consider having different heights and shapes for more interest. In the office: Should you oil the desk? The wood looks a little dry. Have you thought about using table lamps instead of sticking floor lamps in the corners. A beautiful ceramic lamp would look lovely on the wooden storage piece in the office. You could easily add another reading chair in the office as well. The clothing rack looks out of place. Is it an office or clothes storage? How do you want the office to function? Adding fabric valances on the windows would soften and add texture to the room. Have you thought about adding art to any of your walls? doesn'twoodmirrorapplicable. Last thoughts: Stop putting furniture and lamps in corners or up against the walls. Call a decorator who can work with you to come up with a long-term plan so you don't waste money purchasing things that don't work. Good luck. You are both darling and your house is a dream home. May you continue to enjoy working together to make your house your home.
I really enjoy Charlie's opinions on the interior and the more masculine perspective. When a couple lives together it can't be all pink and bows guys... Josie has her own boudoir and powder room.. their bedroom has very soft and elegant colours and style... it's not nice to judge people's relationships, let alone from a video clip jeez. Dear Josie & Charlie, your dynamic has produced an OBVIOUSLY SPECTACULAR home so, please do you
I found Charlie difficult to watch in this video. In fact, I watched half of it last night and then came back to it today. I really love the new desk, though and was really interested to see that it came apart for installation.
Josie is right about the oat colour bed linens, Charlie. I love the antique captain’s chair and the new desk for the study. It is sad that you couldn’t put the other desk in the drawing room! Loved the vlog! I don’t mind about the fashion stuff because your content is always interesting!
You are adorable and so sweet Josie. I totally enjoy your vlogs no matter what the content , whether it be fashion or home. If I had one suggestion, it would be area rugs, as in an antique Turkish rugs in rooms. Things seem very monochromatic, which is fine, but a beautiful Turkish rug in a couple of these rooms would warm up and enhance the wood and color choices.
First of all the new desk is Perfect! You're right, it does make the room seem larger. I love it. Secondly; since I only stumbled across your channel during your move to the Cotswolds, I'm thrilled with your content. Who knew I could get so excited about watching a video of some English chick across the pond making mac and cheese!! ❤I LOVE your vlogs and your dogs. You bring joy into my life.
I love to see what you are doing with your home, it is beautiful! It has been fun to watch and see how you decorate it. I know that you have given us tours of your home before but I'm still confused with the layout of it. As an idea for a blog, I was wondering if you could go from the outside front door, and give us a tour explaining to us what is on each floor as you walk through, down the halls, up the stairs, and such? I have a general idea of it but some things still don't make sense to me. Maybe even add views from outside the house saying what each window is for the room inside. I just love your house, and I like to visualize right where your at.
Me too I would be really angry but it should be a joint decision but to be honest I’m not used to a man taking such an interest in the decoration of the house, I always make decisions over colours and design, my husband wouldn’t have a clue!💜
@@katrinaryan1739 my husband has zero interest in home decor so it falls to me. I find hes more enthusiastic when I pick out options that I already like and ask him which one he likes out of those selections.
Don't feel pressured to do fashion, I am perfectly content watching your house transformation.
Here here!
I fully agree. I know I prefer fresh and ‘unexpected’ quality content and so appreciate Josie’s originality and practical ideas ! ❤️🇨🇦
Same here
Me too!!!
Ditto!
Don’t worry about pressuring yourself into doing the fashion content. I think most of us love the VLOGS anyways and I know I love the decor updates!
So true! 💕
Charlie, that small bathroom mirror is not big enough for a lady to do her hair. A bigger mirror is much better :-)
Agreed!
Don't you do that in the bathroom? It's not a dressing table
No, I dry my hair in my bedroom,like most people.
I would not be happy with my husband if he purchased a chair for the house without talking to me about it and getting my opinion first. You have the patience of a saint, my dear! Btw, your house is so beautiful 💕

The round one needs to be in a bathroom and the bigger one she bought fits right in. Charlies chair doesn't suit that room either. The room needs a much more comfy, upholstered chair. IMHO...Sorry Charlie. :-)
I have so nearly unsubscribed every time Charlie makes an appearance. I don’t know she does it.
@@Jenna_Joseph what’s your goal with this post?
@@rhianalice87 to express my ongoing frustration with someone likely to feel something similar.
Eeekkkk a cold Sunday evening filled with 45 minutes of wholesome vlog, can’t wait!!! (Ps it’s clear you’re much happier in your content now which makes us as your viewers even happier🥰) To anyone else reading this, I hope youre having an amazing weekend?? Stay safe whilst seeing your family and friends!! Remember to keep smiling, lots of love a small time TH-camr trying to spread positivity❤️❤️
I happy to hear that and thank you for your kind words!
Charlie has very masculine taste 😂
Steer him toward the office, kitchen, gym and outdoor garden
I'm have a very feminine personal style and thus would never buy such an exceptionally old house. When you do make the decision to buy something so old, it is incumbent upon you to honour that heritage and architecture.
Lol seeing the behind the scenes of getting the chair up the ladder and through the window was funny. Where there is a will there is a way!
The partner desk is stunning and a lot more functional for the both of you. Getting some drawer/storage organiser's will help keep the large storage area tidy and accessible 😊
The rug works really well in the dressing room and will work well with a pouf in the middle of it. 😊💛🐶🐶
So glad you like it!
I love the thought of adding a terracotta color to your guest room linens. I think it will pair nicely with your sage greens and the natural wood in that room. 🌹🌹🌹
No Charlie, I’m American and I love old classy furniture 🪑 and things. But everyone I know wants contemporary modern. The thing I find is that people are always trying to change their home into something that it wasn’t meant to be and they never stop trying and then wonder why they never reach their goal.
I could agree with you more!
I am American and I love old classy furniture as well. There is nothing like the beauty of the antiques who stand the test of time and have that beautiful wood. To see the functionality that you never thought of from those classy peices.
@@reginafetty6374 and that's why we take our time hunting for the perfect piece of furniture instead of buying the first thing we see. When you move into a home you have to give it a chance to speak to you. Charlie's rushed the process but maybe it's because he's so young & thinks he needs everything at once
@@loloholmes2793 absolutely. Your house tells you the proper decor, you just have to pay attention.
Don't you love when your dogs are watching you through the windows as you arrive back home!???!!!! I love how you and Charlie have different styles that tend to work in an old lovely home!!!!
Lovely vlog. Your home is gorgeous, and it’s obvious both you and Charlie care deeply about making it feel like home for you both and having it reflect your respective styles. I’ve been watching your channel for 5 years, and have always admired your relationship with Charlie. I just want to say that no one should be judging your relationship or making assumptions about it. As viewers, we only get a glimpse into your life. We don’t know anything about the inter workings of your relationship. I just felt that needed to be said. Anyway, thank you, as always, for a wonderful video.
I’m so pleased for you that you painted the prima in your powder room. I just wish you weren’t apprehensive about doing it without Charlie knowing. I think Charlie is a sweetheart, but as some who has been married for 20 yrs (I’m 43), mutual respect of equal levels, to each other is essential for both people to be happy. I love the rug in your dressing room, the partners desk and the whole vlog. A great use of 40 mins as always - thank you both 😘🤍🤍🤍
I’m quite surprised at some of the comments below
I think the difference of opinion is wonderful, clearly they have created a relationship where both parties feel safe to disagree with each other , feel empowered to try something or buy something for the space they share TOGETHER , and to be quite honest I really appreciate the fact that Josie leaves these parts in her video and doesn’t just show their life as always seeing things eye to eye.
That’s not reality it’s not the reality of mine or anyone else’s relationship,
The different opinions is where creation happens / if we all thought the same nothing new could ever be
💕
For the attic (?) bedroom you could paint the chest of drawers a dark brown or a moss green and change out the knobs to an older style that fits in better, perhaps in brass. I think cream coloured bedsheets or in the wheat shade, nature colour range would be lovely.
With all the items you have bought and then had to sell because they didn’t work out you could have afforded an interior designer to give you ideas as to what to purchase and places to find them that you may not even be aware of. They also would look ahead at what future plans you both have and make suggestions for smart investments now that will still work down the line. Just a thought...and better late than never.❤️
Fabulous idea!
I love Josie and Charlie interacting- they are normal people and both have great taste. They want to do right by the house and the period of the house and I see Josie wants some romantic girly things, like I do. I love this couple so much!!
I don’t think anyone is about about another VLOG. Personally, I prefer them! I don’t think anyone is really motivated in a fashion sense... leggings all the way! Love your videos ❤️
Anyone can buy new furniture. Classic antiques furniture elevates a room to a higher level. It adds your personal style that cannot be copied. For inspiration look at Ralph Lauren’s residences. The quality and patina of old wood is much better than newer pieces.
Charlie’s got such great taste in aesthetics. Totally agree with his comments about the chair in the loft room. Your house is looking stunning.
I agree....he is very much like me in style and food. But I do like the soft feminine touches Jose brings, but not too much for such a house. The balance between the two is wonderful and charming. Charlie is very clever and logical. An old heart Brit....but not always right...lol
I think a nice rose pink would go nice I the bedroom with green headboard. You can go pale rose or deep rose . Pink and green good colour combo 😀
I like some of the modern furniture mixed with the antiques otherwise it looks a bit old fashioned. Keep the bedroom as it is its looking great. Would drive me mad if my husband kept buying things without consulting me. Especially if he moaned about your painting....you did a bloody good job! Xx
No way would my husband run over me when it comes to decorating my own home! She is very kind not to tell him to shut up.
Agreed.
Josie seems to me to be a thoughtful and fair person........perhaps she was pleased with Charlie’s enthusiasm for the house, in the beginning, and maybe it’s just beginning to get under her skin. I don’t think Josie would allow herself to be walked on to any extent. She has backbone and she follows through. I think we might see a change in the dynamic very soon. Women who please men too much are eventually not respected. It’s a delicate balance. Wouldn’t you say
Maybe Charlie is in control of finances and most expenditures for this house, that's why he can boss around and Josie has no choice. I don't think Josie youtube channel brings enough money to own/decorate this house.
Helena B What does Charlie do for a living?
Oh I am so happy to see the new /old desk, it is so right for this gorgeous room. I love your vlogs, much prefer them to fashion any day. I can see you two with your own TV channel one day lol. I love the way you both remain civilized even when you aren't in total agreement lol. "Living the life in the Cotswold's" lol. Charlie cracks me up, I get his attitude, he often reminds me of my hubby of 42 years. One has to have differences without anger for goodness sake. Both of you delight me xxxxxx
Josie, you have done with Charlie the most warm and cozy interior from all the influencer I follow, enclude Lydia and Eli. It is so nice and special style.
Agreed
Your antique furniture purchases were stunning and your office looks amazing!
I love these home style vlogs. I like the guest bedroom, it's looking good with the new chair. Great choice Charlie. For the bedding, I would go with a small print duvet cover and try and pull in the same green colour from the headboard. A little print in the room would be great. The new desk is amazing. Love the office. Take care!
Who else gets so excited whenever they get a notification that Josie uploaded!
Desk Perfection.. The Office is absolutely divine.. Bravo.
I am just wondering..is this Charlie's house? Josie, you just wanted to move a floor lamp and he had to say be careful. You are not allowed to paint a room off of your dressing room without concerns of his criticism.
Josie, I love your style, it brings a softness to the home so that it doesn't look like a man cave.
Oops, I almots feel this vlog has a bit of an agenda, reading the comments now.
Hope that was not Josie's deliberate intent! I recall Josie saying that Charlie advised her not to paint herself, as she can use her time better.
He's right! Why not create fabulous content to grow your channel? The painter can't create content, but he can paint. Any business owner or manager would agree. What I now do want to see though, is for Josie to follow through and paint that entire bathroom, including the cutting with a paint brush. When she's finished she can let us all know if she thought it was worth it from, a time is money perspective. It could be a valuable illustration of using your time in your day and your business. How many reels could have been filmed while painting walls? The paint guy can't film reels, but he can paint. Let the dude paint.
@@leeg2252 Oops, you seem to have much more of an agenda than the vlog... They are in lockdown and Josie can do whatever she pleases with her time.
@@carolinaochoa7900 Time will tell of course. Let's wait and see in the next vlog if we get a time lapse of Josie finishing the project. I was surprised when Josie asked in the previous blog, if we think she would also have to paint the corners and edges next to the beams with primer.
Of course one absolutely has to! Primer needs to be applied on every single bit of plaster, especially new, in order for the paint to adhere to the wall. Keenly waiting for Josie to get the brushes and the latter and will absolutely be cheering her on. Also excited for her time lapse of the chosen paint colour to see the new transformation xx
@@leeg2252 the walls are being wallpapered. She was doing a mist coat. If she wants to do the mist coat herself, then she can. With a lack of inspiration for content, doing something like painting is a great way to switch off from constant thinking about how to create content, and get back to being present.
Stay happy and positive J 😍don’t worry about some mean comments about Charlie.❤️
No wonder Lydia wants to change her kitchen floors... yours are stunning!
Charlie - Josie has a great eye for design, trust her 💕
My thoughts exactly, nice way of saying she has better taste !
@@jillbartlett6172 I think they both have great taste 💙💝
The green paint colour in your study is beautiful 😍
I have to say yours and Charlie's home is STUNNING from top to bottom. Also my dog got on his hind legs with his face to the TV when he saw your little boys
Yes!! It’s time to give fashion a little break... I love vlogs about the house... I’ve learnt a lot with you two (exquisite taste you’ve got😍)
Have you tried putting the old desk downstairs where all you boxes and mail is delivered . It would be useful for unboxing .
Hi Josie and Charlie I've not watched all the vlog as of yet but, I just think the set of grey drawers in the attic room should stay.. The contrast from the dark wood and the grey lifts the colours of each.. But it's personal preference. Either way I'm sure it will look great. You've done well so far to chose the furniture to suit one's historical stylish home.. X
Excellent rug! I love it. Great color.
The office is simply a masterpiece so cozy, stylish, such a great vibe there 🥰
I loved that desk! It's amazing! And I really appreciate your vlogs, because it's a lot of work and dedication! And I really enjoy them! 💘
🤣 When you said the Charlie room instead of the powderroom.
Try oat colored bedlinnen (or something else you have in that color) that you already own and love in the attick bedroom. Just lay it on the bed to see if it's the right choice.
😱 Charlie wants to change the master bedroom. Nooooo keep it!!! It's so lovely and perfect.
Yay!! So happy to be watching a vlog! I’m happy that you are just doing what you want to do and not pressuring yourself to make content you aren’t feeling! Excited to watch!
Ah thank you - I definitely prefer it this way too!
I am here for the home content and cosy vlogs so selfishly happy for a vlog instead of fashion content today 🤗
I Just love your daily/weekly vlogs! love the fashion but I think I like the home blogs even better! Thankyou for moving the lamp out of the corner in your office! much better! Love the desk!!!! Your grocery store looks so fun to shop at, yummy and beautiful home products ! so glad you are getting your own beautiful desk chair. you and Charlie are such a cute couple and I love your "discussions"! Hee Hee
Great blog. Love,love, your antique desk makes the room complete.The green walls are totally right. Good job to both of you.
Love it how Charlie goes into detail about stuff!😀 So passionate😁. The office looks absolutely stunning!
Can you hear the patience in her voice LOL
Enjoyed this and I think Charlie's chat is great and interesting
If my hubby acted like Charlie, there would be problems!
Yes he is so blimmin dominating....has to be his way or no way
You have so much patience with Charlie... here would be problems if I had a partner like him! 😮 he also spends sooo much money
X
Love you two and these "day in the life" vlogs. Charlie's delight with the drink fridge is gold!
Sunday’s are always complete with a Josie Vlog! By the way, the chair that Charlie purchased we had a dining room set with those chairs, so comfortable. The house looks incredible! Your conversations are a hoot with Charlie!
I’m an American 🇺🇸 and I get it, maybe because I had a British boyfriend not long ago.
The green looks good in that room, very warm and cozy.
xx ❤️🌸
❤️ Yeyy, Josie has a new vlog, time to relax and enjoy it! 🤗
Enjoy!!
Charlie wants to change the bedroom furniture. Me oh no Charlie has Lydia haha!! Can't wait for spring vlogs♥♥♥
such a feel good, wholesome video. thank you Josie and Charlie!
Josie, I can see why the study is your favorite room. The paint color you and Charlie picked works so well with everything, and the view from the windows is so beautiful! I’m afraid I wouldn’t get any work done...too busy gazing out of the windows. The new desk is perfect. The rug in your dressing room is a really nice addition, it does cozy it up. Love the design of this room. The boys cuddled in their doggie bed by the study window was so precious! ❤️
Always. Always. Always white bed linen - three interior design rules! Then an antique or similar cover. (Sorry but you did ask). Loving your videos. X
Well I love both of your personalities and you work together wonderfully Josie.
I have to laugh now Charlie bought one chair for a huge house and people are here up in arms that he is making all the decisions about the house and not asking her opinion etc. I mean come on people get a grip. That house is huge and have rooms that we have not even seen yet. This is what real life is, both buys stuff and sometimes the taste clashes. No need to make big drama about it. I personally enjoy that Charlie is in the vlogs and enjoy him telling things, why people find it arrogant I don't know maybe that says more about them than about Charlie. So keep the vlogs coming.
Hear! Hear! It’s nice to have somebody defend Charlie. He cops a lot on here, based on passive aggressive comments either from other commenters or Josie and it’s really horrible.
TFS! For the bedding I see a light cream background with a wildflower print that may include a soft pink. I'm sure you'll find the perfect set. Happy Sunday!!
One thing that I absolutely love about your house related videos and vlogs in general is you could be at home all day but I'll feel like I'm going to different places with you. Each part of the house has its own character which is really nice and relaxing! Do stick to the vlogs Josie! Love from Ireland
Why to buy a wood chair when your room has so much wood already. Fabrics and cushions will make the room more cozy and comfortable. When you are inside a bedroom...you want to rest, unwind...be cozy and comfortable.
Charlie anything in the garden should go in odd numbers 3 or 5 pots xx
Oh dear! If my husband was as involved in our decor as Charlie, we'd be divorced. Especially if everything is inspired by a tv show...Lol! You're very good at compromise tho. 🤣
Charlie’s enthusiasm for the house is admirable. He is passionate and that’s a great thing!
LOL, Charlie's new fragrant candle line- Cedar & Spilled Beer, Oak & Merlot stains. I'd buy! 😂
Charlie can’t get mad at you for painting if he keeps shopping, can he?🤣😋 While your fashion videos are always great, I live for your home vlogs 😊❤️
I absolutely love your home it’s very English what you’ve done is wonderful. The new desk is beautiful 💕🏴🇨🇦
What does Charlie do anyway? Remember, its you we love. YOU are the reason we watch.
Your paint job in the bathroom looks fantastic!! You have so many amazing skills. I love your feminine decorating skills and Charlies as well. Together, you both seem to sort through everything and make everything look amazing in the end. I'm so glad you don't hire a decorator, because you do a far more amazing job then any decorator I've ever seen!
Couple comments: When arranging things always have odd numbers. (I think someone already mentioned this below.) Also consider having different heights and shapes for more interest. In the office: Should you oil the desk? The wood looks a little dry. Have you thought about using table lamps instead of sticking floor lamps in the corners. A beautiful ceramic lamp would look lovely on the wooden storage piece in the office. You could easily add another reading chair in the office as well. The clothing rack looks out of place. Is it an office or clothes storage? How do you want the office to function? Adding fabric valances on the windows would soften and add texture to the room. Have you thought about adding art to any of your walls? doesn'twoodmirrorapplicable. Last thoughts: Stop putting furniture and lamps in corners or up against the walls. Call a decorator who can work with you to come up with a long-term plan so you don't waste money purchasing things that don't work. Good luck. You are both darling and your house is a dream home. May you continue to enjoy working together to make your house your home.
Love seeing the new products you've added to your home! 💕
I really enjoy Charlie's opinions on the interior and the more masculine perspective. When a couple lives together it can't be all pink and bows guys... Josie has her own boudoir and powder room.. their bedroom has very soft and elegant colours and style... it's not nice to judge people's relationships, let alone from a video clip jeez. Dear Josie & Charlie, your dynamic has produced an OBVIOUSLY SPECTACULAR home so, please do you
I found Charlie difficult to watch in this video. In fact, I watched half of it last night and then came back to it today.
I really love the new desk, though and was really interested to see that it came apart for installation.
Great video, getting better all the time, so natural
Love your new desk, it looks like it was made for that room
Love the new office desk. Looks amazing. Definitely works better in that space
Will you be creating an area filled with books in your study/office space? Love the look of an old study with lots of books on old bookshelves
We hope to!
Josie is right about the oat colour bed linens, Charlie. I love the antique captain’s chair and the new desk for the study. It is sad that you couldn’t put the other desk in the drawing room! Loved the vlog! I don’t mind about the fashion stuff because your content is always interesting!
You are adorable and so sweet Josie. I totally enjoy your vlogs no matter what the content , whether it be fashion or home. If I had one suggestion, it would be area rugs, as in an antique Turkish rugs in rooms. Things seem very monochromatic, which is fine, but a beautiful Turkish rug in a couple of these rooms would warm up and enhance the wood and color choices.
First of all the new desk is Perfect! You're right, it does make the room seem larger. I love it.
Secondly; since I only stumbled across your channel during your move to the Cotswolds, I'm thrilled with your content. Who knew I could get so excited about watching a video of some English chick across the pond making mac and cheese!! ❤I LOVE your vlogs and your dogs. You bring joy into my life.
I love to see what you are doing with your home, it is beautiful! It has been fun to watch and see how you decorate it. I know that you have given us tours of your home before but I'm still confused with the layout of it. As an idea for a blog, I was wondering if you could go from the outside front door, and give us a tour explaining to us what is on each floor as you walk through, down the halls, up the stairs, and such? I have a general idea of it but some things still don't make sense to me. Maybe even add views from outside the house saying what each window is for the room inside. I just love your house, and I like to visualize right where your at.
Oh Josie you do have a lot to put up with. How many men go buying things for the home without asking your opinion. Xx
I won't accept that at all. Would be really angry.
Me too I would be really angry but it should be a joint decision but to be honest I’m not used to a man taking such an interest in the decoration of the house, I always make decisions over colours and design, my husband wouldn’t have a clue!💜
@@katrinaryan1739 my husband has zero interest in home decor so it falls to me. I find hes more enthusiastic when I pick out options that I already like and ask him which one he likes out of those selections.
It's his way or no way....can see through his personality a mile away, can only see him getting worse with age!
Charlie is right some of these machines are over complicated xx love the content Josie 😍🌺🌷❤️♥️
