Hi everyone! I've seen a few comments about the running tap so thought it was easier for me to respond here! Please remember that I am trying to create entertaining content for you all to enjoy. Sometimes I film things in a way that will enhance the experience of the video. As this video is supposed to be relaxing and for people who enjoy ASMR, I wanted to include as many relaxing sounds as possible. What is more relaxing than running water? I have a dishwasher, but when I wash the dishes by hand I don't leave the tap running! Hope this helps - thanks
Yes, I enjoyed the duration of the video, was peaceful and smoothly entertaining. Well done. Nicolas., let me tell you I can even perceive ascent from the candle just by watching the video !! I feel welcome in your home and I am in New Jersey USA !!! keep the videos coming. Best Oswald.
Your videos are always relaxing with or without the ASMR :) One good turn deserves another - have you tried using regular fizzy lemonade instead of water for your flowers? An old florist friend many years ago gave me that tip! Tried and tested it initially with a birthday bouquet of flowers at the time, dividing them into two vases, one with water and the lemonade won hands down for fully opening blooms and length of time they lasted🌼❤️🦋x
So elegant i could watch you all day, pity the world was not filled with more people like Nicolas Fairford we would live in a beautiful place, thankyou for sharing you should have your own television show.
We can all be like Nicolas if we look at ourselves and others with the eyes of compassion, underdtanding and wisdom, not blaming, not judging but accepting full responsibility for our life, accepting that everybody who are in this world has a lesson to learn: love God, love our neighbor as ourselves. Nicolas shows us a perfect example of loving kindness, beauty, elegance, humity, forgiveness. We too can be like him. Let peace begin with me.
I’m as interested in creating an attractive home as you are, but I don’t have friends who can relate to that; in fact, people have made fun of me for that reason. It’s nice to watch your videos and know that I’m not the only one who cares about graciousness and beauty.
Stay true to yourself, it maybe difficult. Take no notice of these ignorant people. I've found in my life (I'm 67) that people who make rude , snide comments are usually jealous. Enjoy your life .😆
That was sooo perfect. That was my life until I grew old, my husband died aged 80 last year and I can’t walk. Can you imagine the frustration I feel when my life is upsi down. I have help twice a week and a cook daily and thank God for the help but I have unironed sheets. No flowers inside ... I have just started pressing flowers if my helper brings one in. Dear Nicholas make the most of every minute. Time goes past so quickly. Iwould love to know how you cope with evenings alone. After 15 months I still find it horrific. No one to talk to about what you are watching. No one to discuss your thoughts. Are you lonely ? I am going to watch this beautiful film again and can anyone help me ?
Maybe treat yourself to some fresh flowers here and there can your helper bring you some? I make a point of bringing some sort of flowers into the house every week or so Maybe join some Facebook groups to discuss things like tv programs ( I’m in one Called I ❤️ British Tv and movies )
I'm so very sorry that you are now without your husband. You might watch some UA-cam videos on lap activities such as card-making, miniature watercolors, origami, and that sort of thing. Maybe you have an iPhone or your helper could bring you one with which you could do FaceTime calls with friends or family. I find those the closest to being with someone. I'm 81, and I wonder at times what I'd do, how I'd be, without my husband! All the best to you!
darling, it takes 17 months, per ancien vedic literature to heal from such endings. then some say 2 yrs to get over a mate. consider doing, starting yoga. there are many online video and you may regain your mobility.....good luck.
When Nicolas walked up the stairs of the store where he gonna buy brushes to clean dishes, he turned around to make sure that Sophie could climb the stairs safely. This shows that Nicolas has a loving, caring heart. We are blessed to know his channel that brings to the viewers joy, relaxation and happiness every Friday.
Thu Le, and the fact that you noticed that and mentioned it says you, too, have a loving, caring heart like our friend Nicolas. This channel is truly appreciated by the emotionally intelligent people and I'm here for it. 🤗
Can’t exactly explain why watching you do these normally ‘mundane’ things…cutting labels/receipts off new purchases, making a bed (for goodness sake) and spritzing a new fern, etc. etc. makes my heart relax and my head nod with pleasure! But it does! Love, as always from California
That feeling you get when you come home and take off your shoes, snuggle on the couch with a blanket. That's also the feeling I get when I'm watching your videos. It's a real treat. You don't need a TV, it's more relaxing without it. I also love your glances and smile at the camera, feels like I'm in the room with you. 🥰❤
I mean this in the best way and most-complimentary way possible: Nicolas, we love the comfort you bring to us and the role you play in our lives; for, you are the "English Mr. Rogers" to us adults❣ Thank you. 🥰❤
Your house is quickly becoming a beautiful home. I see you kept the mirror for the dining room-it looks perfect there. And, the painting over the fireplace is just right.
I’ve been very depressed the past year as I’ve been going through a lot with my mental and physical health, as a result my space has turned into a mess and I’ve been struggling to do basic things to take care of it and myself. I used to deeply enjoy decorating and taking care of my space and self. Thank you for such peaceful and beautiful videos that bring me sparks of joy and remind me of my past happier artistic self that I can slowly begin returning to through finding inspiration from your videos.
Honestly very glad you finally went full asmr on us. I usually wouldn’t care about watching a near 20 minute video of chores but this was very relaxing with the extra asmr intention to it.
The mirror is much better over the dining sideboard. Love it there. ❤️ And might I suggest putting something like a small plastic empty food container upside down in the bottom of your terracotta pot to make the top of the plant container nearer to the top, so the fern sides can spread out better and won’t be forced to stand up.
Dear Nicolas, many thanks for your videos ... there are full of positive energy et great philosohy of life. I am a french one, but I love your british way to decorate et to cook. You are a great source of inspirations for me. I send you many greetings and hope you will do you video still for long time. Peace and love
Nicholas you are such good therapy. I was feeling so anxious after a busy day and minutes into this weeks episode the stress melted away. You make it possible to believe there is still beauty and inspiration in our everyday lives. Something we all need right now. I have found in this crazy rushed world the only way to have peace is to create my own private world at home. It's the one place I have control over negative influences. By limiting world news and social media I have restored peace in my life. I would much rather read my favorite design book or choose an uplifting channel like yours. Keep bringing us wonderful content. Love to you and Miss Sophie.
Oh this is the perfect video for today because the weather is so gloomy here in Los Angeles. About to light up my candles and make tea while I watch. Hope you have a great weekend 🧡
That's the joy of you Nicholas. You are never negative...you find positivity in everything. That's why your videos are so calming and restorative. Running the tap is an everyday function as is the water in a shower trickling over our heads and body. How soothing. I will always view dishwashing as a relaxing experience from now on. Blessings❤
If you’d ever told me I would enjoy watching someone make their bed, I’d have said “You’re bonkers!” And yet… here I am, enjoying and being calmed by it.
Yes, I just looked for a Patreon page ❤ I'll definitely be buying your line to support you and have a little piece of Nicolas here in Omaha, Nebraska 🌾
Beautiful peaceful and elegant! Loved absolutely everything I could watch and listen for hours! Thank you so much Nickolas you are a joy! 🥰😘 wonderful soul inside and out! 🙌🙌🤗👏🎉💜🙏
Ah, that was so soothing. An observation (definitely not a criticism) - dishwashing, here in Australia we would never leave the tap running. We fill the sink with water and suds and wash that way. Being a very dry country we treat water as a precious resource. Lucky you to not have to ration it. Another observation is you put your duvet buttons up near the pillows. I have always put them At the foot of the bed. I’ll try it your way as it looks neater 😀
I noticed the buttons at the top too! Funny how you think you're the only one who notices weird little things - nice to know I'm not. (But I still prefer the open end of the duvet down at the bottom.)
Unfortunately, not everybody is as conscientious about water here in Australia although I think generally we are quite good about looking after the environment.
In the UK we have plenty of water and it isn't normally metred. You pay a standing charge however much or little you use. But running the hot tap continuously wastes energy and so I avoid it. I am constantly turning the taps on and off while doing the washing up. That's what takes the time: every item has to be rinsed in clean water as hot as your hands can bear. I've never lived in a house with a dishwasher.
I have been watching your videos for a few months now and I really enjoy them. I was feeling a bit restless this evening and this one had the power to make me feel much more relaxed and in peace. Thank you so much.
Hello Nicholas today is my first time to see and watch your blogs I got so interested because I see myself a lot in you I am an interior designer in Los Angeles but I am from the Philippines flopping to fit your pillows in the sofa you’re very clean and orderly and that’s who I am you’re also very put together and very relaxed enjoy the show very impressive for a young person keep doing what you’re doing and God bless
Nicolas I live alone and I know how much time and effort is needed to keep a home neat and orderly. You do a very good job. Ironically I just finished some chores before watching this video. Happy days to you friend and hi to Sophie. x x Bill
😂😂😂my two teenage boys went a week on holiday with their father...my home was spotless for a full week...I didn't have to lift a finger!!! Only who does the chores appreciates the importance of being tidy.
You have impeccable taste and class, and a natural elegance that’s also reflected in your voice. I love your videos and have subscribed to your channel. 🙏🏼💕
Thank YOU! As a Designer, it is always inspirational to see what other designers are doing....but this episode was so lovely in that all your rituals, tidying, organizing, plumping of cushions, lighting of candles etc. was so soothing. Reminds me to take more time with all the little details that brings each of us such pleasure.
I felt so calm watching you, Nicolas. You make all of the little things feel grand in the most beautiful manner. Thank you for inspiring me to want to cook more.
This young man is the real deal ... so nice to witness that someone , somewhere, still has a life style of care and simple elegance . His presentation always calm me down from the busy day i just had .
I have a guy friend who LOVES to wash dishes. He said the same thing about washing dishes being therapeutic. I wash my dishes by hand immediately and never let let them pile up whereas he would let the dishes pile up for days and set aside time to wash them. I have an open concept apartment and the kitchen is the first thing you see when you walk in so I'm constantly putting things away and washing cups! I really like how your dining room has come together, I think it's one of those rooms you never think you need, until you need it.
I so love fresh flowers! Thanks for the tip on making them last a bit longer. Also, I loved seeing Sophie :) I am such an animal lover...so glad you always include her in each video.
I like your use of the term "ASMR". If you get in the habit of cleaning and tidying for yourself, not just surprise guests, then the task also becomes the thrilling reward. As if you were the guest the home is being prepared for. A huge switch in mindset for many of us.
I love tomatoes! I can enjoy eating them any time of the day! Alstroemeria is an incredible cut flower! You chose such a lovely color. And the white roses are so elegant. Your special touches add such beauty!
I follow a few people on UA-cam who do shopping Hauls, but you have given it a whole new level. I really enjoyed this video. I enjoyed seeing what you had purchased and why. So lovely to see you spending time at home and making your home so comfortable. Thank you 🧡
Just a lovely and clean and organized HOME.... that's what everybody wants and need. Thank you, Nicolas, for being such a good example to humanity of what a HOME should look and feel like.
Well I have to say, that was a breath of fresh air Nicolas. Very calming! Your bed looked just marvellous once you finished styling it i could of hopped, skipped and jumped into it! You would make the perfect Stylist! I just love how you take the simplest things if every day and make very special & beautiful x Thank you very much for sharing
I wish we had an IKEA near me. The closest one is 2 hours away. I really liked the things you bought. I can't imagine not having a flat sheet on my bed but I know lots of people don't and that's perfectly okay. Hope everyone has a safe weekend.
Good afternoon Nicholas! You are just a pure pleasure for the eyes, soul and ❤💞heart. What a wonderful organization, comfort and cleanliness, the space is thought out and built logically with a perspective. You are so charismatic, cozy and do everything better than some girls. Your mom can be proud of you. You feel good and that's the main thing. Thank you for sharing your experience, it's very nice and kind of you. Be healthy and happy with Sophie! She is such a sweet little darling! 🐕🐾🐾🕊🕊🕊🦢🦢🦢🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
Dreamy… beautiful inspirational and aspirational. These little ways of treating yourself well make life so much better. I strive …”WWND” (what would Nicholas do”) is my mantra. Thank you snd I look forward to my next visit with you!❤️❤️❤️❤️
My candles have arrived! OMG! The scent is intoxicating. This must be what the Garden of Eden would smell like! The packaging is beautiful-clearly designed by a romantic! Nicholas, you have created candle perfection! I’m so happy to have these treasures in my home. I have found my forever candle. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Nicolas, you inspired me. I ended up cleaning up my place while playing your video 3 times. I hate cleaning up, but doing so with your video playing in the background makes it an enchanted task. I will do that every week. Love you!
You mentioned the red tiles I. The kitchen before : a heat gun helps remove old tile ….. I always keep backsplashes simple …. It should accent but not overpower.
It's always nice to spruce up our homes. Even little things can make a lovely difference. I LOVE watching your channel! And I never watch YT channels that do house cleaning, but I truly enjoyed this video. It was actually relaxing. Peace and blessings.
Hi Nicolas I was born in Italy in 1954 and came to South Africa when I was 4yrs old ...Now Live in Beautiful Cape Town Just want to say I Love watching your inspiring videos hahah Thank You
So relaxing and soothing. I always pick up a few packs of napkins from IKEA. I thought I was crazy, but I put my flat sheet on the bed the same way. When I turn down the top, it looks so pretty.
My dear Nicolas, you take the meaning of Sanctuary to another level! You are an earth angel my dear one…please continue to be the pure soul that you are🙏🏼💖🥰. Hugs to you and beautiful Sophie💞🤗🤗
Being in the Eastern Cape in South Africa for few months on holiday we are in such a terrible drought and water shortage and I nearly died when I watched you washing your dishes wit the kitchen tap running all the time...!!!😲😲😲😲
This is wonderful. Thank you for inspiring us to take self care, setting a table for one and lighting the candles, Nicholas. So often, lunch alone is a rushed affair, plonking a plate down in the midst of my working/crafting area, looking at unfinished tasks and a small pile of irong, accusing me of being distracted or inefficient 😆
What a lovely , calming look into a day in your life. I cannot tell you how much I enjoy watching the pleasure you derive from creating your serene little sanctuary . I have a little piece of paper with a saying near my front door that reminds me so much of you... and me. "A guest should leave knowing you to some degree just by time spent in your surroundings." That is what I hope I have created . And I feel it in your home.
Nicolas, this was an especially lovely and tranquil video. I literally just melted in my sofa watching and listening. Nicolas, you mentioned that you love comfy squishy pillows. Would you mind mentioning what pillows you use? Give Sophie a pat. She is so precious.
@@NicolasFairford You had me at "I wouldn't buy them again for the cruelty aspect". ❤️. I just love your kind heart, Nicolas. You truly "get it". I don't think there is a more attractive quality in a person than love, respect, kindness, and protectiveness of innocent animals.
Love Love LOVE your content! I will tell you if you cut the burnt wicks of your candles in half you will find less smoke and a longer life of your candles. Thank You Nick for bringing us unmitigated joy to our lives!
Such a calming vlog. Fridays are much better because of you. I could watch and listen to you all day. You make even the simplest thing seem so enjoyable. I’m glad I found you. X
Your new space is looking great! I love that you put the painting over the fireplace.... I was hoping you’d try that. And I’m so glad you kept the big mirror! It really reflects the light. You chose a good place for it - it adds light and makes the space look bigger. Thanks for taking us along today, I really enjoyed it. 💗
The club chairs that you've said you want to replace---club chairs are my all-time favorite and the most comfortable seat in the house. Maybe some snappy new upholstery and new seat cushion would be a good option instead of ditching them??
I've seen this post numerous times and has become my go to when I needed to calm and slow myself down. I have seen your other videos, and nothing comes close to the effect this one delivers.
Hi everyone! I've seen a few comments about the running tap so thought it was easier for me to respond here! Please remember that I am trying to create entertaining content for you all to enjoy.

Oh dear ! I just knew the running tap would get a mention. 🤫
Your videos are always relaxing with or without the ASMR :) One good turn deserves another - have you tried using regular fizzy lemonade instead of water for your flowers? An old florist friend many years ago gave me that tip! Tried and tested it initially with a birthday bouquet of flowers at the time, dividing them into two vases, one with water and the lemonade won hands down for fully opening blooms and length of time they lasted🌼❤️🦋x
Nicolas, it's your video, your art, your creation! You do what you seem fit!
So elegant i could watch you all day, pity the world was not filled with more people like Nicolas Fairford we would live in a beautiful place, thankyou for sharing you should have your own television show.
That is such a nice thing to say! Thank you so much x
We can all be like Nicolas if we look at ourselves and others with the eyes of compassion, underdtanding and wisdom, not blaming, not judging but accepting full responsibility for our life, accepting that everybody who are in this world has a lesson to learn: love God, love our neighbor as ourselves.
Nicolas shows us a perfect example of loving kindness, beauty, elegance, humity, forgiveness. We too can be like him.
Let peace begin with me.
Angel food cake is a wonderful dessert but no one could eat it as their sole food for every meal. Variety builds strength.
Amen to that!
Everything Mary Poppins just said. Facts!
I’m as interested in creating an attractive home as you are, but I don’t have friends who can relate to that; in fact, people have made fun of me for that reason. It’s nice to watch your videos and know that I’m not the only one who cares about graciousness and beauty.
Friends? lol. Please stay true to yourself or you won't be happy.
I am glad you are from the same group that loves beautiful things. Thank you. Zaida Puerto Rico
Stay true to yourself, it maybe difficult. Take no notice of these ignorant people. I've found in my life (I'm 67) that people who make rude , snide comments are usually jealous. Enjoy your life .😆
Follow your own creativity. You’ll love your home. It’s yours don’t wait for approval from others.
You are not alone, believe me. You are not alone.
While watching this a feeling of "Everything's going to be okay." came over me. Thank you.
Aww that makes me so happy! Thank you!
Well said !
That’s a lovely way to describe the feeling of comfort this video brings me
Moi aussi j’ai eu un sentiment de calme et de paix tout au long de cette vidéo. Tout ça m’a envahie
Love 😘

The way you look after yourself and your home with such elegance and good taste is inspiring.
Your house is quickly becoming a beautiful home. I see you kept the mirror for the dining room-it looks perfect there. And, the painting over the fireplace is just right.
My sentiments exactly
Thank you so much - I'm really pleased with how things are coming along!
Perfection!
And even your dish brush is beautiful😁

Gosh you make everything you do so elegant, even changing the bed linen. Enjoyed this vlog very much. Thank you.
Thanks so much - I'm really happy you enjoyed this one X
That s how I used to make the beds -- crisp linens fresh from hanging on the line. They smell especially fresh when it snows!
I'm in paradise!
Thanks to you for allowing us to enjoy your wonderful life, blessings
Honestly very glad you finally went full asmr on us. I usually wouldn’t care about watching a near 20 minute video of chores but this was very relaxing with the extra asmr intention to it.

Everytime I watch your videos I can feel the smell of fresh white flowers coming from the screen. Thank you for such soothing experience!
I am so happy to hear that! Thank you!
I sprayed some Classic by David Beckham around the room as I watched the video -- it helped enhance the experience.

Hello Nicholas today is my first time to see and watch your blogs I got so interested because I see myself a lot in you I am an interior designer in Los Angeles but I am from the Philippines flopping to fit your pillows in the sofa you’re very clean and orderly and that’s who I am you’re also very put together and very relaxed enjoy the show very impressive for a young person keep doing what you’re doing and God bless
Nicolas I live alone and I know how much time and effort is needed to keep a home neat and orderly. You do a very good job. Ironically I just finished some chores before watching this video. Happy days to you friend and hi to Sophie. x x Bill
Thanks so much Bill x
Oh trust me it's a lot more work to keep it tidy if you live with someone else 🥴 especially who isn't neat
😂😂😂my two teenage boys went a week on holiday with their father...my home was spotless for a full week...I didn't have to lift a finger!!! Only who does the chores appreciates the importance of being tidy.
You have impeccable taste and class, and a natural elegance that’s also reflected in your voice. I love your videos and have subscribed to your channel. 🙏🏼💕
Sophie has the cutest canter, adorable little rocking horse gait.
It's one of my favourite things about her x
Awww, she is so sweet, isn´t she! And she seems like just the perfect dog personality to suit Nicolas´ personality!
She’s awfully cute as well. Lovely coat.
I love the ambiance of your home. The colors, textures, books and plants. The layers of fabric ca and beautiful furnishings. So comforting.
Very calming.So pleasant to watch you do things.You are just an elegant human being who can appreciate so much from life.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
So glad you enjoyed it! X
Thank YOU! As a Designer, it is always inspirational to see what other designers are doing....but this episode was so lovely in that all your rituals, tidying, organizing, plumping of cushions, lighting of candles etc. was so soothing. Reminds me to take more time with all the little details that brings each of us such pleasure.
I'm really glad you enjoyed this! X
I felt so calm watching you, Nicolas. You make all of the little things feel grand in the most beautiful manner. Thank you for inspiring me to want to cook more.
This young man is the real deal ... so nice to witness that someone , somewhere, still has a life style of care and simple elegance . His presentation always calm me down from the busy day i just had .
Whenever I watch one of your videos, I feel so calm. Thank you for showing us how to live our best lives
My pleasure! Thank you!
Nicolas your voice is perfect for ASMR it is so soothing. And you have such a calm demeanor that is so amazing
A man after my own heart , Champagne and Oysters . Nick you have really done a superb job on your home in a very short time . Cheers, Be blessed JS💙.
Thanks so much Jeffrey x
I have a guy friend who LOVES to wash dishes. He said the same thing about washing dishes being therapeutic. I wash my dishes by hand immediately and never let let them pile up whereas he would let the dishes pile up for days and set aside time to wash them. I have an open concept apartment and the kitchen is the first thing you see when you walk in so I'm constantly putting things away and washing cups! I really like how your dining room has come together, I think it's one of those rooms you never think you need, until you need it.
Your videos are so refreshing. So calm, serene and positive energy. Thank you!
I so love fresh flowers! Thanks for the tip on making them last a bit longer. Also, I loved seeing Sophie :) I am such an animal lover...so glad you always include her in each video.
The plant from IKEA looks lovely in the window - the perfect spot!
Thank you - I'm really pleased with it!
I like your use of the term "ASMR". If you get in the habit of cleaning and tidying for yourself, not just surprise guests, then the task also becomes the thrilling reward. As if you were the guest the home is being prepared for. A huge switch in mindset for many of us.
I love tomatoes! I can enjoy eating them any time of the day! Alstroemeria is an incredible cut flower! You chose such a lovely color. And the white roses are so elegant. Your special touches add such beauty!
So kind - Thank you!
ASMR and you are such a great gift for people like me who is always stressed. Thank you!
I follow a few people on UA-cam who do shopping Hauls, but you have given it a whole new level. I really enjoyed this video. I enjoyed seeing what you had purchased and why. So lovely to see you spending time at home and making your home so comfortable. Thank you 🧡
Just a lovely and clean and organized HOME.... that's what everybody wants and need. Thank you, Nicolas, for being such a good example to humanity of what a HOME should look and feel like.
Well I have to say, that was a breath of fresh air Nicolas. Very calming! Your bed looked just marvellous once you finished styling it i could of hopped, skipped and jumped into it! You would make the perfect Stylist! I just love how you take the simplest things if every day and make very special & beautiful x Thank you very much for sharing
Thank you so much! So pleased you enjoyed it! X
I like that you mix and match high and low. IKEA is a great resource. And so many people act as if it doesn't have a place in a bougie house.
I wish we had an IKEA near me. The closest one is 2 hours away. I really liked the things you bought. I can't imagine not having a flat sheet on my bed but I know lots of people don't and that's perfectly okay. Hope everyone has a safe weekend.
Good afternoon Nicholas! You are just a pure pleasure for the eyes, soul and ❤💞heart. What a wonderful organization, comfort and cleanliness, the space is thought out and built logically with a perspective. You are so charismatic, cozy and do everything better than some girls. Your mom can be proud of you. You feel good and that's the main thing. Thank you for sharing your experience, it's very nice and kind of you. Be healthy and happy with Sophie! She is such a sweet little darling! 🐕🐾🐾🕊🕊🕊🦢🦢🦢🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
I just wanted to say THANK YOU! I was having sort of a pity party for one today and this video was an instant mood booster! Absolutely fab! 😘
Thank you for being my my one little source of happiness and relaxation when I'm depressed and panicking. ❤️💐
Dreamy… beautiful inspirational and aspirational. These little ways of treating yourself well make life so much better. I strive …”WWND” (what would Nicholas do”) is my mantra.
Thank you snd I look forward to my next visit with you!❤️❤️❤️❤️
WWND - I love this!
My candles have arrived! OMG! The scent is intoxicating. This must be what the Garden of Eden would smell like! The packaging is beautiful-clearly designed by a romantic! Nicholas, you have created candle perfection! I’m so happy to have these treasures in my home. I have found my forever candle. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Nicolas, you inspired me. I ended up cleaning up my place while playing your video 3 times. I hate cleaning up, but doing so with your video playing in the background makes it an enchanted task. I will do that every week. Love you!
That's great! Thank you so much x x
You mentioned the red tiles I. The kitchen before : a heat gun helps remove old tile ….. I always keep backsplashes simple …. It should accent but not overpower.
Beautiful and quiet day. Every moment is so complete.
💜
I LOVED THIS VIDEO. THE MUSIC YOU PICK IS ALWAYS SO.... MAGICAL.
I do hope he could add more magical music in this video.
A most relaxing watch indeed. Thanks
So glad you enjoyed it!
So happy to see an English person using a top sheet.
Everything is lovely and serene.
It's always nice to spruce up our homes. Even little things can make a lovely difference. I LOVE watching your channel! And I never watch YT channels that do house cleaning, but I truly enjoyed this video. It was actually relaxing. Peace and blessings.
I am so happy to hear that! Thank you so much! X
Hi Nicolas I was born in Italy in 1954 and came to South Africa when I was 4yrs old ...Now Live in Beautiful Cape Town
Just want to say I Love watching your inspiring videos hahah Thank You
So relaxing and soothing. I always pick up a few packs of napkins from IKEA. I thought I was crazy, but I put my flat sheet on the bed the same way. When I turn down the top, it looks so pretty.
It does look so neat!
That is the correct way to do it.
It is so peaceful to watch you.....you are so self contained .....it gives me contentment ...thank you for being you
Your efforts are appreciated. I can rewatch this vid multiple times, it’s so calming and pleasing.
My dear Nicolas, you take the meaning of Sanctuary to another level! You are an earth angel my dear one…please continue to be the pure soul that you are🙏🏼💖🥰. Hugs to you and beautiful Sophie💞🤗🤗
So kind of you - Thank you!
Being in the Eastern Cape in South Africa for few months on holiday we are in such a terrible drought and water shortage and I nearly died when I watched you washing your dishes wit the kitchen tap running all the time...!!!😲😲😲😲
Thank you for treating yourself well and giving space for others to extend courtesy to themselves.
This is wonderful. Thank you for inspiring us to take self care, setting a table for one and lighting the candles, Nicholas. So often, lunch alone is a rushed affair, plonking a plate down in the midst of my working/crafting area, looking at unfinished tasks and a small pile of irong, accusing me of being distracted or inefficient 😆
Thank you for such a peaceful time just watching your morning. Your calmness and elegance are so refreshing.
Hi dear Nicholas kiss to cute Sophie congratulations for your candle !!!!!your home looks lovely and cozy
What a lovely , calming look into a day in your life. I cannot tell you how much I enjoy watching the pleasure you derive from creating your serene little sanctuary . I have a little piece of paper with a saying near my front door that reminds me so much of you... and me. "A guest should leave knowing you to some degree just by time spent in your surroundings." That is what I hope I have created . And I feel it in your home.
Nicolas, this was an especially lovely and tranquil video. I literally just melted in my sofa watching and listening. Nicolas, you mentioned that you love comfy squishy pillows. Would you mind mentioning what pillows you use? Give Sophie a pat. She is so precious.
So happy to hear this! I've had these pillows for a while and I think they are goose-down. I wouldn't buy them again because of the cruelty aspect x
@@NicolasFairford You had me at "I wouldn't buy them again for the cruelty aspect". ❤️. I just love your kind heart, Nicolas. You truly "get it". I don't think there is a more attractive quality in a person than love, respect, kindness, and protectiveness of innocent animals.
He is so OCD but so refreshing to see him use it to bring comfort and beauty to his life. His voice is so calming.
I found this so very calming Nicolas. I so enjoy your video's.
You are quite a gem you are! Home is where the heart lies and your home soothes the soul and comforts the heart of its hearth.😘
I was just thinking “Does he clean that lovely home of his?” Then I ran across this video. Great to see you doing the washing up.
Love Love LOVE your content!
I will tell you if you cut the burnt wicks of your candles in half you will find less smoke and a longer life of your candles.
Thank You Nick for bringing us unmitigated joy to our lives!
Muito interessante acompanhar seu dia e sua casa está "linda"...beijos do Rio de Janeiro - Brasil.
Such a calming vlog. Fridays are much better because of you. I could watch and listen to you all day. You make even the simplest thing seem so enjoyable. I’m glad I found you. X
Always inspiring, you have a great week too!❤️
Your new space is looking great! I love that you put the painting over the fireplace.... I was hoping you’d try that. And I’m so glad you kept the big mirror! It really reflects the light. You chose a good place for it - it adds light and makes the space look bigger. Thanks for taking us along today, I really enjoyed it. 💗
The club chairs that you've said you want to replace---club chairs are my all-time favorite and the most comfortable seat in the house. Maybe some snappy new upholstery and new seat cushion would be a good option instead of ditching them??
Possibly! x
I LOVE those chairs too.
I've seen this post numerous times and has become my go to when I needed to calm and slow myself down. I have seen your other videos, and nothing comes close to the effect this one delivers.
