Most of us found a lovely, quirky personality to watch rather than a channel with any particular theme! I love whatever you share. Thank you. I even share bits with my husband. We love your sense of humor!
Love how you sort of talked yourself out of this in the last vlog but are going for it anyways now. You go get the staircase of your dreams girl and we are here for it!
I honestly love this kind of content more than what I signed up for, it makes me feel sad that you think your current videos are not interesting. I love them, trust your gut and make what you want to make!
There are lead testers for paint. Basically a pen-like tool with a sponge-y end. You activate it and then dab it on the paint to see the result. Learned this on Rescue and Restore's YT channel.
The stairs saga is actually interesting - don't know if I am getting old, but housework and house makeover are just exciting! I hope you do the stairs like you said, it will be work, but definitely doable!
Oh that was so satisfying to see the paint lifted! If you do go through with it imma need more footage of that.... I'm sad I can't do that with my stairs 😂
I'm so chuffed you decided to persevere with the stairs 👏🏻🙌🏻 the stubbornness in me did a little hula dance and high fived you 😁 I'm like you in that I will do everything I can to make something just how I want it to be, despite all good advice 😂 Also, we totally signed up for this content! It's real and wholesome and like hanging out with a mate ☺️ x
I’m blown away by the paint removal. That is awesome!!! Love the pink radiator and the clean white paint. Doesn’t it feel awesome to have such a productive day? I feel inspired watching you get shit done! Lol! I just watched the Friends reunion and I cried through so much. I’m their age and it’s quite a strange feeling to have had it be such a part of my life and now we’re all middle aged and yet it doesn’t feel that way. I feel young and just as vibrant. Anyway, thanks for another chat and for letting us in on your life a bit. Oh, also, fun fact: I went to high school with 2 of the producers/writers of Friends, really funny and down to earth guys!
ugh Lucy! You make me want to be proactive about my life! Thanks for always spreading your warmth and determination with us. Hope you're havin' a nice day, lovey!
When we took off the wallpaper in our house (which was built in 1910) we discovered a host of lovely bright green lead based paint 👍🏻 we plastered over it and it kept seeping through... like a green nightmare! Lead paint is actually no joke. We finally got the better of it and now it’s a distant memory. Loving your DIY content 🙌🏻
haha not me calling out to the screen "oh HELL YEAH!" when the paint peeled away. I know you are questioning whether we want to literally watch paint peel with you, but honeslty I am HOOKED on this content. I would happily watch you chat away and cut your lawn with nail scissors. Keep up the good work Lucy!
I have so much admiration for the can do attitude with which you approach diy jobs and persevere to get the house to where you want it ❤️ I love these vlogs and have no doubt this project will turn out awesome.
Never really comment on videos but I’ve been here for years! Since before your working for the magazine days. I just want to say how admirable you are. I wish I was like you in so many ways. So positive and hard working for anything. You are truly brilliant Lucy in every way. You will work your ass off for everything you have no matter how hard. You should be sooo proud of everything you’ve done in life❤️
I love DIY projects, big or small! 😍 Bra wise: I’ve been wearing sports bras for a few years and have ditched the inserts. Too much trouble dealing with the inserts!
Gurrrl you spoiling us with these uploads. That intro was a beaut btw 💕☀️ Those bra inserts.. I wish they weren't removable it's such a faff unfolding them or putting them back in if they fall out when in the machine!!
As someone currently doing up my own house, I love seeing what you're doing! You do things I am not ambitious enough to but the results are so satisfying
That was so satisfying! I want to go through our whole house and melt all the paint! Please keep documenting this so I don't need to and can live my paint melting dreams vicariously through you. Thank you!
ive been putting your house vlogs on whilst fixing up my sisters house and honestly, you figuring things out and making it work when you dont necessarily know whats going on is really inspiring because i am the exact same!
Honestly, I do miss your hauls, because I love your style. I literally bought a dress you wore to a wedding (blue one with the jewels on the frilly neckline) But, I also love diy content. Addicted!
Love watching your house stuff. It's amazing what new tech paint stripper does.. old ones used to smell so much or the "natural" ones didn't do anything. So glad you tried it and are stripping the paint. Does not have to be a one day job. We could not do it to ours as the treads were so battered and worn, we would of had to replace all or most of the treads. So we just carpeted the treads and had headboard reisers. Keep up the great DIY work! Top of the stairs looks great!
I'm so proud of you Lucy, you haven't given up on real bras yet. I think I gave up during month 5 of the pandemic and resorted to sports bras, bralettes, tank tops with built ins...anything to avoid underwire and snaps. Sorry I don't have a solution for the twisty innards of real bras, but I think avoiding them overall does count.
Answer to the question : being big breasted, it goes straight to garbage, however if you want to keep it, sew the escape way and sew along the pad to the underlayer by hand, it's not to difficult and if it's ugly, it's inside ! Just be careful when you tie de knot so it isn't itchy
Having just finished my house three years after buying it (the whole lot needed ripped out and done) this is very, very, very interesting as I'm bored and want to move to a new house and do it all again so for the moment I'll live vicariously through you :)
Oh the anguish I had sat in traffic this afternoon and get the notification for a new Lucy video knowing I desperately wanted to know how the paint removal had gone. Loving the painting with tea in hand 🤣🤣🤣
It's funny you should mention that the Friends cast seem like friends to you as I feel the same way about you and Adam. I love your videos because you treat us, your subscribers, as if we are a friend you are chatting to about what it going on in your life. "Is this interesting?", yes Lucy, it really is. Thank you for just being so unashamedly yourself because you are so relatable and I am happy to be your friend........ok, gush over😁 xx
Love the house vlogs!! (that's actually how I discovered your channel, after Carrie Dayton mention you!) And omg the Friends reunion, cried the whole time watching it. Imagine being there when the hype was happening!! Lot's of love!
For the future, you can buy lead paint test kits, where you can just test different areas and paints in old homes, so see if you are infact messing with lead. I'm trying to refinish my floors this weekend, so I'm watching this to up my 'girl-power, we can do-it' mental lmao!! Go Lucy!!
Always look forward to your videos and it's great seeing your home come together. Most importantly love love love Flo footage, she's just too gorgeous.
This was such a satisfying video! I love a good reno progress documentation! Also cleaning vlogs just 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽 You’ve done such an awesome job of the house Lucy!
my answer is not clever but I just manually untwist the triangles in my sports bra when I wash it in the washing machine. I think a few stitches to keep in place is a good idea if you cba! Or if you wash by hand you'll stop it getting twisted or if it's in a swimsuit I'd remove! lol 👌
I can’t wait to see what you do with the staircase! I pulled all the carpet off mine as well and keep going back and forth between painting it or sanding and staining
Lucy, you must invest in a sock hanging clippy thing! It is the best item that came with our rented house....I love it so much I do wonder if our landlady would notice if I took it with me when we leave?
I really needed this today as I’m having a bad bad bad mental health day. So thank you for letting me spend time with you. It’s helping. Also for the bra inserts, I toss them unless the bra looks weird without them. In which case I do a little stitch at the top bottom and sides and that seems to help them stay in! ❤️
Lucy I bloody love you, you are just SO great! I could watch you watch paint dr… oh wait 🤣 such a comforting video! I’m doing home reno too and stripping our staircase and banister! Please keep up the home vlogs!
Just a note - I subscribed/found your channel when you moved into the house and started moving vlogs. So this is exactly the content I subscribed for 🌞✌️🏡
Some old geezers stairway paint!! 😂😂😂 Sounds like something I'd say. Just want to say, Go Lucy! Go Lucy! Girl, you inspire me every day and I thank you for it! And yes it's interesting because you do things that we can possibly do in our homes. Like I said, inspirational! Also, totally jealous of your Five Guys. The closest one to me is an hour and a half drive away. Good job Lucy!
I want to get the banana Body Shop bubble bath! I love your prints, the green lady outline one is lovely, you could call her Eve or Lorelai. I don’t think Monet is particularly known for his sunflowers, to me sunflowers are Van Gogh and Monet is water lilies!
Bra inserts...bin them! I don’t have the perkiest baps but life’s too short for chasing them around the washing machine. Modern day version of burning bras. Free the jiggly baps! 😊
Regarding the bra questions: you can put them in a bra washing bag! And there is really no way to keep them from twisting if they are removable. Hope that helps 💕
This is such a useful video! I have some paint to get off out banisters on the stairs and was wondering how to do it, you’ve sorted me out Lucy! Cheers 🥂
I take the bra inserts out before I wash - I find washing them in the machine stops the supportiveness and shape especially for sports bra ones. If they need to be washes just soak them in a bit of water and soap/detergant. I leave them in the 'clean basket' for when the bras come out of the wash x
You always choose the absolute best prints for your home. I love love love your style! Everytime you get a sponsorship with Desenio(?) I spend ages looking through the whole site for myself 😅
Lucy : "is this interesting....?" Me: "Actually, yes, hell yes, really is, thankyou kindly very much"
😂😂😂 Thank YOU kindly very much
I agree. We all learn something from it. Please keep sharing.
Most of us found a lovely, quirky personality to watch rather than a channel with any particular theme!
I love whatever you share. Thank you.
I even share bits with my husband. We love your sense of humor!
i was thinking exactly the same! hahaha, i love these kind of experiments 😂
I completely agree. Seriously, I’ve never ONCE been bored by any one of your videos. It’s all a delight.
Love how you sort of talked yourself out of this in the last vlog but are going for it anyways now. You go get the staircase of your dreams girl and we are here for it!
Hahaha I wish I just wanted carpet like a normal person 🥴
@@LucyJaneWood No such thing as normal! And even if there was... makes for terrible VLOGs ;)
Hell yes I agree with is mg.x
you can get a mini laundry bags for delicates jto put your bras in while you do laundry. this will prevent them from getting messed up during the wash
The inners still shift around in the bras, my teenage daughter wears them and having to put the padded bits back into place drives me nuts
For the bras, highly recommended getting some mesh delicates bags makes such a difference and protects your bras.
I honestly love this kind of content more than what I signed up for, it makes me feel sad that you think your current videos are not interesting. I love them, trust your gut and make what you want to make!
A hundred times yes!

You're gonna like the next one haha, just editing the footage now 😂 It's gross and satisfying
@@LucyJaneWood oh boy, im excited and scared... I bet the after was amazing to see though!
You wouldn’t believe how captivating watching paint peel off is, I was genuinely overjoyed when it worked!😄 It’s going to look so lovely, can’t wait!
Theses home vlogs bring me so much calm and homely feel ❤️ Thank you x
That's the biggest compliment! Thank you for hanging out with me x

There’s no channel I like more
Than this. Everything
About
You , what you stand for ,
How cosy It all is! Thankyou Lucy xx
seeing your house come together and watching you absolutely bossing it has been the highlight of lockdown
Never really comment on videos but I’ve been here for years! Since before your working for the magazine days. I just want to say how admirable you are. I wish I was like you in so many ways.

@7:10 I take mine out and then keep them with my sewing bits and pieces. Very handy if you ever want to add shoulder pads to an outfit!
I love DIY projects, big or small! 😍
Bra wise: I’ve been wearing sports bras for a few years and have ditched the inserts. Too much trouble dealing with the inserts!
Gurrrl you spoiling us with these uploads. That intro was a beaut btw 💕☀️ Those bra inserts.. I wish they weren't removable it's such a faff unfolding them or putting them back in if they fall out when in the machine!!

My favourite type of video! Love a good home vid! It’s all about the Reno’s!! Loves to love it! Now that loves it !!!!
As someone currently doing up my own house, I love seeing what you're doing! You do things I am not ambitious enough to but the results are so satisfying
I am loving these home reno videos. I discovered you from your first bathroom video. I really appreciate the vibes and calming realism in your videos.
That was so satisfying! I want to go through our whole house and melt all the paint! Please keep documenting this so I don't need to and can live my paint melting dreams vicariously through you. Thank you!

I love all of this homey content! I was genuinely thrilled that the paint remover thing worked!
I loveee seeing whenever lucy uploads :) lovely!
Ahhhh ya wee cutie, thank you!
pausing at 8:55 to absolutely screech from excitement because I was really hoping you’d give the wooden staircase a chance🥺😍
Yes, these type of videos are so interesting! Love watching you!
It REALLY IS INTERESTING to watch the process. I can't wait to see how it works out.
I am honestly so excited for you to make the stairs of your dreams happen! You go Glen coco!!
omg YOU ACTUALLY DID IT WELL DONE, can't believe it worked
I much prefer this content to the content I signed up for way back when! It's been such a pleasure to see you grow and to grow alongside you.
Can’t wait to see how the stairs come out ☺️. I’m here for the home renos 🙌🏽
Literally just watched your first stairs vlog and then 5 minutes later you uploaded this one. Nice easy watch while I cook tea for the littlest
Oh the anguish I had sat in traffic this afternoon and get the notification for a new Lucy video knowing I desperately wanted to know how the paint removal had gone.
Loving the painting with tea in hand 🤣🤣🤣
Love watching these videos. It's like spending a day with a friend 😊 x

When you say you don't know if this is the content we signed up for... We signed up for YOU! So please don't doubt your content !!
Another upload so soon! What a treat 😍 the opening music really set the mood ☀️☀️
Ahhh lovely stuff, trying to pop up a bit more often! x
I absolutely love your homey vlogs with DIY 🤓🤩😍 So relaxing and feels like hanging out with a friend! Xxx
I think a pattern tile on the rise of the stairs and white tread would suit your house so beautifully.
my answer is not clever but I just manually untwist the triangles in my sports bra when I wash it in the washing machine. I think a few stitches to keep in place is a good idea if you cba! Or if you wash by hand you'll stop it getting twisted or if it's in a swimsuit I'd remove! lol 👌
home vlogs are back!!!!
YAY, So happy you decided to try paint stripper. Go for it, it'll look amazing!!!!!
The bra pads! I struggle with these too. I typically take them completely out and wash them separately. That way they stay a bit smoother.
I think this is my fav print haul you’ve done so far 💕
I can’t wait to see what you do with the staircase! I pulled all the carpet off mine as well and keep going back and forth between painting it or sanding and staining
Yay I'm so happy you chose to go the paint stripper way! I don't know what your decorator was thinking.
Lucy, you must invest in a sock hanging clippy thing! It is the best item that came with our rented house....I love it so much I do wonder if our landlady would notice if I took it with me when we leave?

Always happy to provide 'em ☀️
I've yet to watch the vlog, but i am invested in that staircase (more so than the bathroom), so I am rather excited about this!
In the middle of uni exam week. So needed this right now xx
Love the radiator!! The house content is the best can’t wait to see the stairs process🥰🥰
Just a note - I subscribed/found your channel when you moved into the house and started moving vlogs. So this is exactly the content I subscribed for 🌞✌️🏡

I’ve taken out the bra cups and stitched them into a shirt to make shoulder pads 😂
Pressed flower print are so in right now and I have always loved them, and this is totally your vibe! LOVE
I looove the home reno vlogs theyre awesome and interesting for sure!
Regarding the bra questions: you can put them in a bra washing bag! And there is really no way to keep them from twisting if they are removable. Hope that helps 💕
I'm loving your home updates though I think I found you because of book reviews, liked the fashion and stayed for the home renovations!
Lovely to see you, amazing DIY work and the prints are gorgeous🦋
The content my 30year old self needs! ♥️
Hahaha glad we're in the same boat my friend
I literally got so emotional watching that Friends special. I was also thinking it would be eh, but it was so sweet.
This is such a useful video! I have some paint to get off out banisters on the stairs and was wondering how to do it, you’ve sorted me out Lucy! Cheers 🥂
Absolutely loving these videos!
omg I’ve had a pretty bad day and the paint remover was so satisfying it just lifted my mood up lol 💗 pleased for you 💗

Also deciding to tackle a very hard job when everyone told you not to is Big Taurus Energy and I am here for it 👌
Love the upload roll you are on now. It's great!
WOOPA!
cherry bakewell naked bars are the best! 🍒
I love all your vlogs but I loooove the paint strip bits!
I take the bra inserts out before I wash - I find washing them in the machine stops the supportiveness and shape especially for sports bra ones. If they need to be washes just soak them in a bit of water and soap/detergant. I leave them in the 'clean basket' for when the bras come out of the wash x
The cherry bakewell nakd bars are my fave!
you need to get an octopus clippy thing for socks from Ikea!! (FYI They are the best sturdiest ones had mine for years huighly recommended!)🤣🧦🧦🧦
You always choose the absolute best prints for your home. I love love love your style! Everytime you get a sponsorship with Desenio(?) I spend ages looking through the whole site for myself 😅
Ahh what a lovely compliment, thank you! I hope you find some cuties that you like 🖼
