It is refreshing that you are both creating a house born out of everything you love and that reminds you of places you have visited. It will feel like a home and make you smile when you think of the filling, sanding and painting that you have done x
Love it! Quick tip: We also left everything packed after it was delivered, but therefore found out too late that things were damaged. So it's a good idea to quickly open the packaging to see if everything has arrived correctly.
Same! We move on Thursday and I’ve been storing things in the garage that have been arriving over the past few months and only though to check a few very expensive things this week and they’re damaged but now too late to return 😢
After the wedding you should keep some of the lavender (if you can take it back to the UK), dry it, and then press it into the frame with the lavender print
I feel like I remember you showing off your Desenio prints when you moved into your last flat! And now you're showing off the ones you've got for your house :'D it's such a joy watching you grow, thank you for bringing us along on the beautiful journey!
It is an absolute pleasure to watch your videos and see you two together-your happiness shines through everything you do whether it’s getting dressed in your finery or sitting on the floor together undoing boxes! Everything you do just flows so naturally and nothing feels like it’s “staged” just for the purpose of the vlog. You two are my fave UA-cam couple by far! 😘❤️xxx
As Portuguese I grew up watching BBC series and movies with all those lovely Downtown Abbey houses with beautiful gardens and there's this kind of romantic feeling about everything British. Victoria, it's been 2 1/2 years I came across your chanel and I just love your "joy de vivre", so contagious, and with your amazing hubbie you just make the perfect match. It's been so good watching you turning your house into a home. Much love for you both..from Portugal ♥️😘
Can I just say I love how you and Alex are decorating with a sense of joy and delight of the world around you? Very refreshing and reminds me of how hubby and I have decorated our homes through the years. Thank you for taking us along - I'm so inspired!
Those prints are gorgeous! It’s just the aesthetic I love! That print of the fruits are a perfect match to China I had it was a beauty cracker glazed outer rim with the prints of fruit inside. Plates had pears and bowls had plums and mugs had apples etc - they were stunning and those prints are looking like a perfect match. Shame I don’t have them anymore! I can’t wait to see the house all finished as I love your tastes! I know you done most of the house but I would love just one video showing the before and after for each of the rooms! I do love your kitchen and downstairs loo!😍😍😍
Love seeing the artwork you chose! I have the Audubon “Bird” book and the flamingo print as well! It’s stunning. Audubon prints are really popular it’s seems in South Louisiana. I have a few that’s I’ve rescued from antique sales and re-framed. You’re house is going to be gorgeous. So happy we get to follow along!
Awww you and Alex are so adorable. I love watching your excitement, happiness over the house. It's as if you two are proud parents. Don't worry about mistakes they are made to learn. Sending you positive energy and prayers xx
Love that Alex is also as excited as you are when you unboxed those prints, you’re both equally fun and artistic and has good taste. Plus points also for Alex for gifting you such a lovely ring. Not all men does that after so many years of being together haha he’s really a good catch, you both are. Good luck with your new home and stay happy 💋
You guys are so natural, it makes watching your videos such a pleasure, I also like that you are following your own individual taste in the house, its going to be wonderful. 😘
When I was 13, my family and I moved into a house and it was in terrible shape but my dad did the floor in the kitchen, we painted and really made it a beautiful place. Watching you and Alex in the house reminds me of that and makes me want to buy a house. I never wanted to buy a house before. You did that.
This makes me so excited for when I’m getting married and buying my first house. It’s still ages away yet I imagine but I love love love watching you both cause it shows that hard work pays off and what you can achieve !! 💕.
I love seeing and hearing Alex and yours excitement when you show all your decor! You guys are going to have such a cute home! Can’t wait to see the final look for every room! Congratulations you guys!
Yes!!! Once you buy a house, you look everywhere for inspiration! My phone always ends up full of photos of bathrooms or details I like :) Take your time decorating-you’ll enjoy the pieces more if you see how you live in the space before filling it with things! I know it’s hard 🤦🏼♀️ Enjoy!!!!
Love, love, love these vlogs. I'm always saving them for when I have enough time to watch them alone, no distraction, nice cup of tea or dinner and it just makes my day. So positive even though always very real, motivating me with your hard work and discipline. :) Loving the renovation, loving the work!
Just discovered you, how friggin refreshing is your channel btw. Heavily edited videos are boring and love the fact yours aren't. What a character you are, keep doing what you're doing, oodles of personality. Boss couple.
House is looking so lovely already! I would love to see a video dedicated to you and Rebecca, such as how you met, combining friendship with business, and how you work together despite living in different countries. Xxx
Ahhh this is a lovely request!! I'll have to ask her if she doesn't mind being on the channel one time :) she's quite a private person and even more so after working together over the past almost 4 years xx
I was thinking the same as you Victoria! I actually really love how the blush pink looks in your bedroom with the paneling. It looks very girly & regal
That butterscotch footstool is lush, I have a smaller one in a royal blue velvet to match an armchair - both from Homesense! The rug is so cool! love sitting down with a cuppa and catching up with your reno vlogs :) xx
The flamingo print is based on the famous painting of John James Audobon who's bird collections are available in one of the most expensive books called "The Birds of America". They made a movie about this book called American Animals :)
Loooove this vlog loving all the house updates I’m so excited to see the rooms come together , and loving the mix of you and alex holding the camera not only him following you around ❤️❤️❤️❤️
The seashell prints reminded me of an artist called Ernst Haekel. I used him as one of my artists for my artist research I had to do in one of my projects in college; and when you said there was something quite scientific about them, I instantly thought of him. His work was seen as quite outrageous for that time period and wasn't understood by many people xx p.s. loving the home videos!x
the bird print to me looks like John Audubon's book of American birds! There is a movie called American Animals that is a true story about teens attempting to steal one of his books -- it's fantastic!
The bird images are from a series of books from the Audubon Society :) I have a few original books I’ve found at thrift stores. Slowly framing those too!
Sooo soooo happy for you both with how amazing and brilliant your house is coming along, and it is soo lovely how we are able to see how your house is transforming! So will you be then moving from your old house into this one?? Xxx
Indeed very very soon! We are currently in a rented flat in London so have been working up to getting the basics in the house ready to move in like having our kitchen appliances ready to go haha xx
the style of the shell prints is similar to old fashion botanical drawings that botanists would have done pre-photography to document plants and species!
The house is coming along 😀 Can’t wait to see it take shape. So glad you had a wonderful Birthday and Hens Victoria 🥳 and that ring ❤️ Alex did an amazing job, it’s so beautiful! Very lucky girl ☺️x
Oh Victoria this was an incredible vlog! Loving how the house is coming along the boudoir looks French inspired. Beaver brook hotel looks fabulous. Your definitely lady of the manor in your cute little outfit. Oh my goodness how beautiful is that ruby ring from Alex absolutely stunning he chose well. What an amazing time you had at the gala and the fireworks display looked spectacular, and I’m sure that was sister sledge as I watched them at Blenheim palace a month ago! Thank you for the discount with desenio I will be using that!!! Perfect timing 💖😘😘
the way victoria just completely ignores Alex's tourette-like outbursts with the painting designs "looks like an ice cream" "pair of sweaty plums" and "poieeches" - hysterical 😂😂
ahhh this is so exciting! Me and my boyfriend are moving into a small new build house in about a month so all things interior is basically what's on my mind 24/7 😍
Artists would do case/art studies. They would do dozens of images of the same still life etc do get perspective, shade and light, proportion etc for their composition. Botanicals, flora and fauna are my favourite.
Yaaay I love dessenio and junique. We need some new prints for the bedroom so the discount couldn't come at a better time :) we also collect Henry rivers prints from every country we visit and now we can finally get Thailand since we're going in December :)
Ahhh this makes me so happy! When they got in contact Alex and I had already started thinking about artwork to change the rooms up and add to the collection we already from over the years so I was so happy! xx
...botanical illustrations:) Marianne North is a famous female illustrator with a permanent collection of drawings and illustrations from her travels around the globe at Kew Gardens. She was a friend of Charles Darwin, and daughter of a prominent politician, travelling with him as his companion . Her collection is the only permanent collection by a female illustrator too. Well worth a visit!
I love the prints!! Such a nice style. I would probably call them encyclopaedic illustrations (I can’t really see but I guess they’re a bit dotted), common in old botanic studies
I am so excited to see how everything comes together in the house! When watching your vlogs I wish I had a house of my own to re-do 😊 But 19 may be a bit young 😄
It is refreshing that you are both creating a house born out of everything you love and that reminds you of places you have visited. It will feel like a home and make you smile when you think of the filling, sanding and painting that you have done x
What a lovely comment, thank you my love! xxx

hannavw wonderful idea. I hope she sees your comment
Oh my gosh this comment!! I needed to see this thank you lovely!!
Same! We move on Thursday and I’ve been storing things in the garage that have been arriving over the past few months and only though to check a few very expensive things this week and they’re damaged but now too late to return 😢
Is anyone else shook at how the camera moved when Vic showed off the rug???? wtf!!!
I KNOW RIGHTTTT. Loving this camera!
@@VictoriaMagrath which camera do u use?
I noticed but then convinced myself Alex had come in to help.
@@camillebelcon8811 hahaha I did the same thing 😂
Read this before seeing the video. Didn't expect that kind of movement =)) LOL

The flamingo is an Audubon print! Very famous.

Victoria There Are Prints From Antique Books.Xx😘
Tina Carrol the flamingo looks like an Audubon color plate. I love the style 😊

Love the rug
Great video. Junique do lovely prints too xx
The illustrations seem quite Darwinism, love it , love you guys for your energy xx Beautiful ring, happy pre birthday 30th wishes 💖
Watching this, eating breakfast, shouting TEPPENYAKIIIIIIIIIIII 😂

Yes yes yes I love this! Thankyou lovely xx
I am so excited to see how everything comes together in the house! When watching your vlogs I wish I had a house of my own to re-do 😊 But 19 may be a bit young 😄
