Love the bed tray
Your channel will be massive; you are not only gorgeous but seem very friendly and approachable, and what a great eye you have for design. Absolutely love your channel😊
So very kind of you, I really appreciate it! Thank you so much 🥰
I second this comment .Such a lovely handome man & couple .I'm so glad I found his channel, looking forward to seeing everything on his channel will enjoy traveling along his home travels & lifestyle he has very excellent taste .Hello from Orlando Fl .🌿🐎🦚
IM OBSESSED W THESE VIDEOS AND YOUR HOME 😍😍😍😍
Thank you Flossie 🫶🏻
Ash your boldness with colour in your home is so inspiring. I’m really liking your channel. It’s nice to see you and Chad discussing your thoughts together. Great channel.
I love the aesthetics of your home and how easily you converse with your audience. I also think the way you two squabble like an old married couple is so very cute. Love spending time with you 😘
wow, the music. gentle and soothing. very nice.
I think I just found my new TH-camr 🎉❤🎉❤
Love to hear that you're channel is getting more successful. You seem like a really lovely couple and you're house is stunning. 😊
Ash---great to spend time with you both. When you mentioned the tub planting I actually shouted, "Drainage!" Ideally there should be several drainage holes in each tub, then a layer of rocks or pebbles, but rocks would be better followed by the soil. You don't want the roots to sit in water that has settled in the bottom of the tubs as will cause root rot, brown plant leaves, and sadly, plant death. People often forget drainage on window boxes too. It is key to a happy planting and a happy gardener. I really enjoy your show and our visits!
Thank you so much for your advice! I don’t show it but I actually drilled a plug sized hole in the bottom, then covered it with broken pot pieces! So glad you enjoy the videos ☺️
I love Chad - he's smart and cheeky.
Absolutely. Chad is quite handsome.
You can see Chad's cheeks 😮?? Amazing.
Just saying...
Wow, alot going on in this video. Great content though, good to see Chad as well. I like how natural you are on your presenting style and as I've said before I like your energy. Love the planting of the bath tubs at the end 👍
What an adorable couple! If I had some best friends from the UK I imagine they would be like these lovely gents.
Sending good energy from rural Alabama.
I would have just bucketed out the water around the garden. Love the bath tubs by the way.
Very enjoyable vlog. I love how you always wear very smart and good quality clothes when painting, gardening, chores. I can't imagine you wearing tracksuit bottoms and hoodie😊
I actually don’t own a tracksuit or a hoodie 😂🫶🏻
Now the breakfast or bed tray is delightful, and very handy indeed!!!
I travelled to London from Australia in 2007 and by chance just remembered the Dorchester, so with my teenage kids we caught a black cab and in those days you didn’t have to book afternoon tea.
Let me tell you I felt like PRINCESS DIANA in that place.
I’ll never forget it.
I actually found a FULL bottle of Penhaligon’s Elizabethan Rose in a charity shop for $20! (Best charity shop deal ever)
That big white company candle is gorgeous. I bought one years ago and even when it was finished it retained scent and could have tea candles in it as well I think. Lovely to see the now non elusive Chad in the video. Thank you. I love Pengaligon perfumes. Though I never genderise scent, personally. I love florals!
Good morning, guys! Always love watching your channel. I find you very down to earth, but also very aspiring. I do like a good traditional old school home, with a touch of modern gentry.
If you do your outdoor baths again, i recommend filling the base with broken terracotta, then wood logs, then egg boxes and wood chip. With your new compost on top. It's cheaper to fill, and as these break down, they supply your plants with nutrients. Ferns especially.
The Oka tray looks like something from ralph lauren home, and it is also a great price for the quality. It's beautiful! I personally don't like staying in bed, let alone having breakfast in it, but i think it would be perfect for when one is ill. And not allowed to move.😅
I adore your taste and sense of humour, so I will continue to support your channel! ❤
Good evening 🌆. How are you doing. I'm new here.Can someone explain it to my understanding.
Just to say I love your hall and staircase colour now you’ve finished painting it.. your artwork looks beautiful against it Ash! and the trip out to the Dorchester was a thrill.. ❤you are funny .. the chair incident 😵💫🤣you remind me of my son, so kind and thoughtful.
I love your videos..
Thank you so much! The colour definitely works in the space, glad you like it ☺️
Love your channel. I find it amusing when you laugh. Its a cheeky "hehe". haha Shall keep watching... Im hooked.
❤❤loved hearing your comments on the air freshner and the fragrances
Absolutely loved this video. The Dorchester looked truly amazing. I'm so glad you are enjoying Downton Abbey I absolutely love it. I think your garden looks great even though you say it's a mess. I love your house and love your style the new items you bought are lovely especially the bed tray.
I'm begging to really enjoy watching your channel. Chad and you together are very amusing. Yes Chad you do resemble George Michael. I laughed so much when Ash you went through the chair, Chad's face was a picture telling you off. Very enjoyable to watch 😊
Commenting to help you beat that algorithm. Hopefully your channel will grow massively!
Thank you 🫶🏻
I just love the bathtubs of plants❤
I went to the Dorchester for my first ball and loved the old 1920/1930's chandeliers. Beautiful place and the staircase means you look down into the main room - never forget it.
looove this content!!
Hi Ash, another great vlog. Love the paint colours in your home. Love seeing Chad in your videos!
Thanks so much! 😊
In one of your videos you said along the lines that someone who likes beige won't be watching this...I was a beige person and now I'm going over to the dark side and painting the house all dark now, thanks Ash 😂
Thanks Ash and Chad, gorg video, gorg couple! Would love to hear more about how you choose / find your art and where you find the frames xx
Love the bath tubs, the greenery brings the side area to life.
What you've done with the side garden is lovely.
Easy on the “granny” stuff 😂. I’m 77 with pretty darn good taste having been in design field forever and ever and ever😂
Lol..❤
I consider myself a girlie girl but quite a few years ago my hotel in London had toiletries from Penhaligon’ in the scent Blenheim Bouquet and I fell in love with it. I know it is meant to be more of a men’s fragrance but every time I smell it I’m reminded of London and all the things I love there. I always have a bottle on hand so I can conjure up my lovely London.
Hello Guys, from San Francisco California I love watching you channel you guys are the best take care and stay safe 😊
Loved this episode so much I've watched it a few times. 10:01 Love that shirt, where is it from? / Am going to get one of the 13:38, they are £10 cheaper at the moment. / I love Penhaligon's, am still using Endymion but like the sound of The Dandy so will get that next. I also love the scent libraries they do. / 10:01 I'm here to see what you as a person (and a couple) are up too, not necessarily just 'for the home stuff'. There was a playful nature to this video and I loved it. All the best to you both.
Hahahaha I feel like Jesus, I love how you don’t edit to make it perfect 🎉
😂
If you’re ever in Oxfordshire the Oka head office is in Didcot and they have a seconds shop. A bit hit and miss but worth a visit if you’re in the area. They also have sample sales but they haven’t been that good of late and just stocked what is in the seconds shop.
Chad!!! “that’s peasant work😂😂😂” perfect comment!
😂
Lovely planting! Best to Chad as a fellow Scot!
It's always a pleasure to watch little old you and your lovely house !
I'm so glad! Thank you
I love ur videos hi from Ireland 🙌🌻
Glad you like them! 👋🏼🇬🇧
❤❤Loved the bath tub planting
Thank you!! Although I haven’t planted them yet, still want to get a few more
@@ashmazzinaIt will be glorious and tasteful whatever you choose.Your channel a much needed breath of fresh air
enjoyed the garden centre tour
I live in Scotland, so I love Chad's dry Scot's humour and cheek
Yes me too not sure the English get it though. 🙈😝😝
I always sprayed the hydrangea flower heads once they were dried sprayed gold to make fabric Christmas decorations
You are a great fun couple who complement each other very well. Would be a joy to meet and go out with you guys in person.
Thank you I love how tranquil your vlogs are they are just so relaxing you must spend ages on the music if fits so well in the clips, so sorry about your chair too 😮 I hope that chad was ok I’m not being nosey but hope everything went ok for him at the doctors , sorry it’s so long winded but I’m trying to cover everything, basically loved this vlog as always thanks for sharing 🙏🏻
Thank you so much, very kind of you! Chad is perfectly healthy ☺️ also thank you for taking the time 🫶🏻
your faces when you put your knee through the chair, priceless!!!! 🤣😂 The side alley looks much better, great job... hope you drilled a few holes in them tubs for water drainage 😀
Ooooh, I would love to go shopping with you! Your fragrance stash must be colossal!! Xx
Hi i have just recently found your channel and love it i think you both are really nice and you have a beautiful home really enjoy your vilogs🙂
Outstanding video!
Agree
I don't do workouts I do litter picks and dog walks and housework and that is enough with school runs and cooking and shopping - who has time for workouts or the energy in a day? You look fit and great and cycling is good too. Love the bath tubs - luxuriant growth.
Love Chad’s haircut!
Hello lovely people, I am always nicking my partners aftershaves/colognes. Prefer them to the sweetness of a lot of feminine perfumes. You guys make me smile, thank you.
God I love watching videos that include really old elegant hotels. The Dorchester segment was great! And I love that idea of all the plates matching and the silverware matching, LOL! I'll have to try that!
Where I live, we have those bland, modern hotels that feel more like 1990's American shopping malls with huge swimming pools and screaming children. The only great hotel in my city is the Arizona Biltmore, and that 's of style that is very Frank Lloyd Wright-ish.
The IKEA segment was hysterical
Omg for a split sec I thought you’d had a bougie meal and then gone straight to the chippy afterwards because of the floor at 7:23 😭😆 loving the vlogs 🥰
I love your vlogs❤😊 watching from Japan 😊
Glad you like them! 👋🏼🇬🇧
Already checking out Penhaligon’s…thanks for the recommendation
I adore every post! Keep it up..Chad needs some screen time love as well!
Adore your vlogs
Highly recommend MoroccanOil Curl and Styling Cream- great vlog as always
I just came across your channel and subscribed immediately. Your videos are so well done, and I love your deorating style! I love your easy conversational style. Looking forward to more. It's also nice to see Chad as well. Thank you!
Charming........ as per usual.
🫶🏻
Oh my God my mum got one like that for my grandmother who was bedridden!
If you have a husband......sorry.... 😂 I Love Chad's sense of humour! Love you both, by the way! Keep sharing! ❤☀
Lovely wall arrangements. However look for larger wall treatment, namely kilims, quilts, tapestries, if you can afford or find them, large paintings, if you have the courage to paint them yourselves or anything else lordly, but all you have is fine so far. Delightful!
Off topic I know, but you have some serious Orb activity going on. In the beginning there are 3 or 4 orbs appearing behind you and cruising around. Very distinct ones. Get the idea that you make them happy. As always, your videos are super great and so relaxing. Thank you!!
So glad you liked the video! Whilst I would love to believe they’re orbs, I think it’s just good old London dust 😂🫶🏻
@@ashmazzina Nope. If you look at it, they are whizzing around behind you. They change direction. You, my friend, have Orbs. And they like it there.
I totally noticed that as well, incredible!!
Hey, how are you doing. I'm new here. Can you explain to me how it's done here?
Chad, he's so regal 🫅
I hadn't realized how funny Chad was till now, you both seem lovely together!
He has his moments 😉
😊😊😊wooden dibbers have markers on them for the correct depth of bulbs etc
I need to get some dibbers, adding to my Christmas list 😂
Subscribed within the first few minutes
Would love to know the name of the paint in your home ❤ the green ❤
The chair is a sign you're supposed to do your next video on repairing it! 😄
😊😊the age of the cane on the chairs could make them split more easily
Definitely, will have to get them repaired!
That house is so alive with spirit! What a busy house - I wonder what they make of all this TH-cam business!
So your channel was shown to me about 5 days ago. I’ve been speed watching earlier episodes. Truly enjoyable. Oh I didn’t know peppermint tea is good for digestion??? Hmmm 🤔
Do an updated house tour pls!
Can you see me? - “Sadly” 😂😂
😂
People don’t realize that type of seating gets dry , it’s actually a good idea to water it occasionally
You remind me a bit of Nicolas Fairford, he is also a youtuber of similar tastes! Love from Canada 🇨🇦🍁⚜️
Log on for Ash, stay for Chad. Ash, please don't kneel on the caning of the bed tray the way you did on the chair. 😊 May we have a view of the new plants from the dining room window? Lovely video as usual.
Hey ma'am , how are you doing. I'm new here. Can you explain how it's done here?
Hey how are you doing?
Just curious, how does a wicker coaster keep condensation from a cold drink from leaving rings or water spots on your wood tables?
In general, an abundance of caution should always be used when it comes to essential oils, since they can be dangerous to pets if ingested, inhaled, or applied topically.
Ash Ash don’t don’t put your strong limbs through any of your wicker purchases. kneeling was just so funny... poor chair. Love it...the chair.
So nice to see Chad’s Scottish roots coming out in his dry sarcastic sense of humour. His peppermint tea tip is spot on as I have been having this recently and it has made my stomach feel soothed. Keep up the great content and being real and funny together. I hope Chad didn’t spank your fat ass too much after you breaking the chair he hates. 🤣💜💜
Screwdriver and hammer ! Holes done
Looks like you need some decorative chair pads!😉
Love Chad, seriously he is so like my husband (who is also Scottish!)… he’s dry humour is just brilliant… when Ash broke the chair and he says “this is what I’m dealing with” I laughed out loud!!😂😂
Can I suggest that you paint the post at the end of staircase the same as the rail.
I actually think I’d like to stain the end post and all the spindles the dark walnut colour! Great idea!
🌻
I love men’s scents.
I think men’s scents on women are 👌🏼
I prefer men scents.Leather,sandalwood and other earthy tones.Last summer I wore Prada Ocean.Had turned my nose up at Prada but it really suited me for summer.
You are so handsome that it is a pleasure to listen and watch. Thank you 💖
So nice of you, thanks for watching!
Quite a lot of money for those fragrances. But loved the video.what I noticed you have lots of obs floating around that is spirit with you lovely feeling you must take that in.they are there with you.all good.
I do all my shopping on Kings road, 10 minute drive from me
Cool content
Am I the only one screaming ‘pond. Make it a pond’.
Did you ever make a video of the actual garden being made? The stone slabs, urn, pebbles and then the planting? PS why did you not water the plants with the bath water rather than tipping it out ???
The coasters will last forever... unless you kneel on them ;)
I’ll try not to 😂
