Great job! I've just come back from holiday, opened my post, I live in a block of 2 storey flats, and we have communal gardens, which I and the neighbours keep tidy. Well, we've only gone and won The local housing trusts, 2023 Communal Garden Competition. Well chuffed!!!!
Great job Mr. C, such a nice large space. Helen could get a dinning table where you put the umbrella pole down the middle. Makes the umbrella pole sturdy and a nice place to set and eat.
I much prefer the blue, it all looks very inviting. Bet it's lovely to sit there on a warm evening, or in cooler weather wrapped up in a snuggly blanket looking at the night sky.☕🌠
It looks stunning. Only thing I would have done is paint/stain the decking so it’s all clean and fresh. Loved you two together. I’ve had 20 mins of lighthearted comedy. Thank you. ❤❤❤❤
That little pot was gorgeous before it was painted and i personally think it would be nicer hooked onto the wall instead of the wool hanging thing. I do like the blue but i would have gone with a pale yellow which i had before outside and in any photo people would say o what countrie was that taken in thinking we were on holiday. Although at the end of the day she did have the say and made sure it was done her way.😊 a pink wall that says it all. It is nice.
That blue is the ticket. It's a calming influence and picks up the cushion pattern without being to matchy-matchy. It's all very welcoming and makes you want to lounge and linger.
I love the blue wall it goes so well with the furniture and the ivy. Made a very tranquil spot to sit in. The mirror that was already there gives a lovely reflection.
I guessed Helen first of all and then changed my mind!😂 Helen should try sand in her umbrella base instead of water. The blue brings out the stone colour in the walls and the touch of terracotta works really well. Good job! Much love to you both, Soph.x
Blue turned out perfectly, love it. Wished Helen had given you more free reign to showcase your design ideas. But it did turn out lovely. I will definitely be buying her book, bet its a good read. 😊
The blue looked really chic, and a bit mysterious with the mirror! Very nice! But I would have also considered the terracotta pink for a bright Mediterranean feel, with a bit of blue as contrast, but that's just me. Overall, the finished look was very stylish and fresh. Well done, Iwan and Helen!
I love the blue swatch. It will be a lovely backdrop for any colour flower going. Yellows, oranges, salmons, reds. The colours will pop. Great choice!💙💙💙
Hi lwan! Nice change. The space is much more pleasant than before. I wonder if lighting for night time use was discussed? I was sure that you would have added some fairy lights. A small water fountain for its splashing noise would be nice. Wind chimes work nicely also. More pillows! Porcelain barrels at the side of the chairs and sofa to place drinks on could help to cozy the room. The blue wall would look better with just the mirror. The tiny hanging pot and the straw tray shout, Cheap. Wall sconces with Glass hurricane shades to serve as fat candle holders would be a better choice. I'm sure she can afford them. This was nice but, l enjoy you going out to visit pubs and restaurants with Luke or out doing Seasonal shopping much more. Still haven't seen the finished bathroom ensuite or the kitchen. And l missed your little ones, Pumpkin and Mittens! Have a great week. Love your channel ❤️ Your friend in Kansas City, Tom 😃🌻🌹🍀🌈♥️🦋🎉🎉🎉
Hi Mr. C & Helen! Great job on the roof deck. I love the choice of the blue wall, but my suggestions would be to paint the large mirror gold to add to the gold touches of the Ibiza wall basket and that large ginger jar vase. In addition to more low maintenance plants I also suggest adding in more string lights or large lanterns with LED candles, swapping out the grey striped rug to a navy & white striped one that coordinates with the blue wall, and even add a water feature, which would really bring it all together. Thanks for letting us watch your rooftop transformation. Much love from Fort Worth, Texas! 🤠🌺🌞
Hi Mr C. Another amazing video from you. I love that makeover it looks great. I would probably go with pink for the wall as that’s my favourite colour but love everything. Helens book sounds great I will be getting Helen’s so funny. 😂. Have a great day 🥰
Great stuff, Mr C. The roof garden looks lovely; as Helen said, it seems like another country - a North African vibe, I think! Good video, lots of laughs with Helen, thanks to you both.
This was absolutely fabulous!! What fun. We have an umbrella like that.. same handle, sound and when I hear that sound I know that it is time for drinks, my Husband wants to begin cocktails!! Great job, Helen expresses her wants beautifully.
I love how the roof garden looks and the blue is beautiful. Very relaxing. The decor is nice and safe in the color dept. the pots are lovely. Love the wood bench as it adds nice contrast. Good luck in Helen’s book sales too.
What a brilliant video, Helen is so funny. Loved her in Absolutely Fabulous. Such a beautiful Makeover. The book looks really great, it's now on my book list 🙂
Omg, that's Helen from Absolutely Fabulous! As an American, I didn't know about that show until about 2000. I started watching it on BBC America, and loved it so much. She was so funny! Oh, I love her! You both did so well with this makeover! Actually, you did an Absolutely Fabulous job with it! 😊
I think there are definitely holiday vibes--so cozy! And if she misses the red/is eager for the pink, that mirror could be fun in a bright color (although I like it as is also). What a fun makeover!
Helen's roof garden turned out so pretty. I would have picked out the mustard/yellow color simply because I love how it would have made it look and feel like you were on holiday. I also think a couple more of the woven flat baskets to go with your beautiful blue and gold one would be nice. You can always add and take away items as you go along. You've got a great start and I love it so far!
Wow it looks gorgeous! So glad Helen chose the blue, and love the different items and textures from around the world…I lwould place the bench on a diagonal in the corner (much to Helen’s dismay 🙈) with some plants behind it and maybe a pattern stencilled on the blue as some art would look cool. You’ve done a great job 👍🏼
Very nice roof garden makeover. I am so glad that she got rid of that raspberry red wall. I know a lot of people love red colors but red really aggravates my anxiety and so does yellow. I don’t know why but I know that I am not alone when it comes to people with anxiety in certain colors. I love the blue wall that y’all painted. Paint in the blue colors go really great with grays and this is looking so good with her gray wicker furniture. Hugs from the southeast coast of Florida😎🦩🌞🦩😎
How lovely,simple changes and it’s made such a beautiful cosy area,well done Mr Carrington 👏👏👏 btw I had an umberella on my balcony fly away,over the neighbours and we never found it again😂
Well done you two! Major improvement, in my opinion. If I might be so bold.... I think the red flowers in in macramé hanging are out of scale with the rest of the 'room'. Alors, à chaque un son goût! I love how that red telegraphs with the green in the pillow, but I suspect something grander on the wall would be cohesive with the mass of the pieces of furniture.
What a treat, thank you Iwan and Helen. I love the blue wall, the roof garden now as a calming sophisticated vibe. I would like to see some more pots even with faux flowers (some can look realistic) and greenery. I guess it depends what Helen wants to use it for. I would have used a different candle - a round one would look nice but a battery operated one or solar would be better.
Wonderful! It all came together really well. I hope the blue wall stays, it's stunning. Love Helen, she's so adorable and hilarious. Naked Video remains one of my favourite comedy sketch shows of all time. Yes to more Helen on your channel :-)
I think it all looked fabulous, but I’d definitely put a wedge in the umbrella holder, it looked like it was ready to blow away, it’s the same as ours and we bought a heavy metal base and it works a treat. Great job though, I loved the finished look .
Good morning, MrC & Helen here watching. We love a blank canvas 😊. I'm loving the blue on the back wall, It looks modern and refreshing. The painted plant pots look great too. The whole make over looks wonderful. For me painting the wall blue allowed everything pull in. Your Carboot hanging faux plants looks amazing in the floor standing vase. Well done 👏🏽 I've been a little ill over the last couple days watching this has really perked me up and has given me inspiration to get my garden sorted to enjoy the last of summer☀️.yourself and Helen work well together. Nice Vibes 🌸 Have a great Bank Holiday weekend. Take care x
Well, that was different! Brilliant I loved it, thank you and Helen for showing us this transformation of that lovely space. I think I would be tempted to perhaps chabby chic the floor with some white paint if it were me, I think it would really lift the whole space even more. I love that blue on the wall, it really goes well with the bone colour on the outta wall. Thanks again and well done x
Wow what a transformation. Love the blue .the furniture just melts away it blends perfectly The artifical greenery is really good .ive and i am using this same idea in my own garden for the winter .just to add a different vocal point . I think up cycling exiting objects is a safe costing idea well done too you both xxx
Definitely the blue; although I did like the green because I thought the green wall against the green foliage behind the wall would have looked very nice.
Stylish makeover of the roof garden,it is a perfect space for both relaxing and entertaining. I will certainly look forward to reading Helen's new book.
Great job! I've just come back from holiday, opened my post, I live in a block of 2 storey flats, and we have communal gardens, which I and the neighbours keep tidy. Well, we've only gone and won The local housing trusts, 2023 Communal Garden Competition. Well chuffed!!!!

Lovely people, so relaxing chat, very nice outcome. Thank you.
I really enjoyed this video from Iwan and Helen. Another great start to a Sunday morning. X
My dear Mr Carrington, Great video, Just shows what a lick of paint will do the blue is perfect. Nice to see you and Helen together. Love from Franx
I enjoyed the make over with Helen. It’s made the outside space fresh and relaxing to be in.
❤
I much prefer the blue, it all looks very inviting. Bet it's lovely to sit there on a warm evening, or in cooler weather wrapped up in a snuggly blanket looking at the night sky.☕🌠
amazing idea for a show! many more special guest makeovers, please!!❤👏👏👏
Roof garden looks great. Love the blue wall. You did really well Mr C Helen has a strong personality. 👍🏻. Have a good weekend x
It looks stunning. Only thing I would have done is paint/stain the decking so it’s all clean and fresh.
Loved you two together. I’ve had 20 mins of lighthearted comedy.
Thank you. ❤❤❤❤

Yes its been totally spoilt......😥
Agree Elaine, it was that little bit of pattern in just the right tones ❤❤
This is the beauty of diff people and diff tastes. The world would be boring if we had sll the same likes 💚🤘
Personally preferred it painted 😊
@MOTHERHUSH Yes that is very true ❤️
I love Helen,she is so funny,and the patio looks amazing too.Well done Iwan.Always a joy watching your vids.xxxx
Fare to say mr c , my 11 yr old grandaughter hasnt laughed so much , she loved Hellen ( A RUG ) 😂😂 , TY FS & SHE LOVED THE MAKE OVER 💗
Mr C I can see your own TV program coming out of this . ❤ Rosey
That blue is the ticket. It's a calming influence and picks up the cushion pattern without being to matchy-matchy. It's all very welcoming and makes you want to lounge and linger.
You did a great job, what a lovely outside area. I would never have thought of painting the rattan furniture so thank you Helen for that tip! X
I love the blue wall it goes so well with the furniture and the ivy. Made a very tranquil spot to sit in. The mirror that was already there gives a lovely reflection.
Love the blue wall. All you need now is some sunny weather. 🐱 X
I guessed Helen first of all and then changed my mind!😂 Helen should try sand in her umbrella base instead of water. The blue brings out the stone colour in the walls and the touch of terracotta works really well. Good job! Much love to you both, Soph.x
Mr. Carrington - you are a paragon of diplomacy! 😅🙋♀️🇺🇸‼️
So beautiful and what a joy meeting Helen. Thank you both so much. Cheers!
What a lovely space. I was expecting some twinkling lights on the blue wall though. Helens book sounds fun 😊
There are lights along the top of the wall. Didn't you see Iwan putting them up? But you won't see them in the daytime. :)
@@jemma50 no I didn’t. I must have blinked
@@nataliesmith303 LOL! It's at 16.24. 😊
Oh my gosh you know Helen what a beautiful lady I love her! And you too of course Iwan ❤
I really appreciate your kindness. “I do like it…but I think we can improve on it.” was such a nice way to talk about the accent wall color.
He’s wonderfully tactful…
For me that is a good makeover tonal shades of grey & neutrals with green touches & pop of flesh pink 👍 well done both of you
Gorgeous transformation xx. Love the blue 💕. Great video sweetheart a new tv programme in the making here me thinks 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻xx🌸💕
Blue turned out perfectly, love it. Wished Helen had given you more free reign to showcase your design ideas. But it did turn out lovely. I will definitely be buying her book, bet its a good read. 😊

What a transformation! Love Helen Lederer and will certainly be reading her book! x
Lovely job Mr C. You should do a little series on this kind of makeover.
Beautiful roof garden. Very funny woman.
I definitely prefer the wall now... it's very stylish.
I love the blue swatch. It will be a lovely backdrop for any colour flower going. Yellows, oranges, salmons, reds. The colours will pop. Great choice!💙💙💙
Absolutely terrific finish Mr. C!
Ahhh Helen ❤ xx .. .. looks lovely, nice .. 👍
Hi lwan!
Nice change. The space is much more pleasant than before.
I wonder if lighting for night time use was discussed? I was sure that you would have added some fairy lights. A small water fountain for its splashing noise would be nice. Wind chimes work nicely also.
More pillows! Porcelain barrels at the side of the chairs and sofa
to place drinks on could help to cozy the room.
The blue wall would look better with just the mirror.
The tiny hanging pot and the straw tray shout, Cheap. Wall sconces with
Glass hurricane shades to serve as fat candle holders would be a better choice. I'm sure she can afford them.
This was nice but, l enjoy you going out to visit pubs and restaurants with Luke or out doing Seasonal shopping much more.
Still haven't seen the finished bathroom ensuite or the kitchen. And l missed your little ones,
Pumpkin and Mittens!
Have a great week. Love your channel ❤️
Your friend in Kansas City,
Tom 😃🌻🌹🍀🌈♥️🦋🎉🎉🎉
Love this xxx mini series i think of makeovers xxxx

Helen is lovely .... a tad eccentric. Love the Quality Control sticker on her tights 🥰
Omg Catriona!! Loved her on Ab Fab!
Love the blue wall with the gray wicker and cushions. Might have gone for a more colorful rug, but using what she had it's brilliant.
It looks fantastic, plants just add to a space 😊🇦🇺👍😁
Great stuff, Mr C. The roof garden looks lovely; as Helen said, it seems like another country - a North African vibe, I think! Good video, lots of laughs with Helen, thanks to you both.
Oooh Mr Carrington and Helen Lederer!! A Must Watch!! 🎉❤

Hi mr c and Helen
First thought Helen was felicity Kendall - 😮 love the blue and make over !
Oh need to read that book 📕 interesting ty x
I think there are definitely holiday vibes--so cozy! And if she misses the red/is eager for the pink, that mirror could be fun in a bright color (although I like it as is also). What a fun makeover!
Iwean it looks amazing. Love thr blue. Helen is so sweet.❤
Hey Mr. C the roof garden turned out great we love the color of the wall. Helen has a beautiful roof garden.👍👍❤
Helen's roof garden turned out so pretty. I would have picked out the mustard/yellow color simply because I love how it would have made it look and feel like you were on holiday.
