I neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed to be talked out of painting the trim in our bedroom some kind of yellow (or ... talked INTO IT!? PLEASE ENCOURAGE THIS hahahahahaha, it might sway Thomas!)
Yellow is such a happy colour. GO FOR IT
Dark mustard - hell yeah
Don't personally see how yellow and blue work if I'm honest 😂
It depends on the shade. Potentially a very light pastel yellow might work with the blue (which might look different in real life vs UA-cam video)
If it mimics the other gold accents in the room I don't see why not!
As a Norwegian living in the Arctic, instead of a hot water bottle we wear thin merino wool layers underneath our clothes. It keeps you cool and warm at the same time. They're a must have.
Going to use this hack as I live in windy Chicago
One huge peice of advice that SAVED my family !!! Was that our toddler (kid no. 1) was such a soft sleeper, and we were scared about the newborn disrupting her flow / sleep and making a cranky toddler… so my mom told me a bit of gold… get videos / sounds of other babies crying/murmuring/making noises, etc and it gets them used to it all. My toddler was annoyed at first but now is very easy going around baby noise … now we get on with dealing with kid no.2 and she sleeps through ❤❤ good advice, hope it helps 😊😊
Genius!!!!
I love Thomas’s idea of getting to know your construction people ❤️
Maybe have pan go to his Nanny or grandad for a night or weekend just to let him settle in a different place (assuming they don’t stay at yours) and they can learn Pan’s little things so the stress comes off you? Obviously write down his current schedule, but grandparents might learn Pan’s little ways about bath time, bed time, food etc more organically
I’m absolutely loving the wavy hair moment, it really suits you!
Oh yes please!!!! I REALLY would love a Christmas decorating in the new house video, with your son being old enough to care more, and a new baby almost here. It sounds so sweet and cozy!!!!!! Especially since you got SO much more renovating done before the holidays then you actually planned. It sounds brilliant 🥰💚💚💚
I love your vlogs so much! My selfish ass self wants you to continue doing them even if your channel goes into a different, more educational, route, as you've mentioned before. Because these give me LIFE! I often feel so pessimistic and negative towards life and your vlogs make me see the beauty in it. I do hope you still enjoy doing these 💚
For garlic I put it in the food processor with some oil and freeze it in ice tray cubes. That way you can put it on the frying pan.
Melanie!! You don't need to pay for F&B paint! You can just take their colours and get them matched for other cheaper brands at B&Q and it looks exactly the same! 😍
This +
Absolutely with the added colour on the trim and door. Ariel Bissett has done this and it really adds to the warmth and interest in a room!
THE FACT THAT THERES LOFI SHIRE MUSIC IN THE BACKGROUND IS EVERYTHING
As a mum to two I highly recommend she ( nana ) does an over night like this week ( call it a trial run ) that way they can learn each other so it’s not as stressful . If it can be done once a week from this week . She can then ask questions about the routine
Love a hot water bottle but ensure you don't use boiling boiling water, let the kettle sit for a few minutes. Only fill it so far up, not fully and allow the air to come out. Ensure it's closed properly and do the tip test (hold upside down over the sink) to see if there is any potential spillages. Other important aspects are ensuring it fully dries out between uses and replacing it after so long (not sure the reccomended time period) to reduce risk of it bursting. Always have a cover on it and I would never trust it over night in a child's bed. Pop it in to warm the bed up perhaps an hour before bedtime and then remove when the child goes to bed so there's no risk of them getting burnt in the night. Definetly a heating tip but everything comes with risk, same with electric blankets causing fires
I think a mustardy or pastel yellow would make a great pop of colour in your otherwise peaceful bedroom! Love this idea soo much❤❤
Ah Mel, you're my absolut comfort UA-camr still after all these years! Like a big sister who motivates me to make my dreams come true 🥰 wishing you all the best for your baby girls birth! ♥️
Highly recommend packing your bags (leave in trunk) & install the carseat now! 💜
I went into labor at 34 weeks. All I had with me was my work bag. Felt very unprepared 🤪
Caroline Winkler is AMAZING. Love her channel. So glad you shouted her out. Love these style of video and very excited for you to meet your sweet little baby girl 😍
Most wholesome family I’ve seen in my life, makes my heart happy ❤
New to your channel, but the way your husband was looking at you when you started doing the ad just melted my heart. Wishing your little family all the best for the future, so cute!!
That's so funny about the firelighters. I remember my sister law while pregnant losing her mind in Tesco over the smell of them. She looooovvvveeeddd it thought it was so strange but it's clearly a thing. 😂
You have twice as many ideas in a blue room! And yes, blue and plant green are very relaxing colors. Color psychology is amazing. How about ochre for the baseboards/trim? It's like matte gold, still yellow but not primary, more calm and desaturated.
The green paint really brings out the green in your eyes. The stone fireplace is amazing
I love the Lord of the rings music in the background during cooking
Hi Melanie. Love these style of video and very excited for you to meet your sweet little baby girl. Greetings!!
love love the house so far! I think I prefer the trim white because it compliments the dark wood and the brass sconces so well. 💚💚
have you thought of a dark blue or teal for the trim and door? could add some dimension which gives a cosy feeling, and gold always looks good with darker shades.
I opened my bag of crisps and I am READY for the new renovation vlog 🎉
I think a colorful trim would be a nice touch, i dont know if id do yellow but do what makes you happy :)
I can’t wait to meet the baby! You two are just the cutest couple. Also, not that my opinion matters but I think if you paint the baseboards a yellow, it will kind of clash with the lovely blue walls you have in the bedroom but again that’s just my opinion, if you think it will look good, then go for! I do love that you guys aren’t afraid of colour and pattern because so many people just pick boring colours ❤
Tommy takeover tip: make the poor chaps doing the work a cup of tea.
My mother: only tea?! What about the biscuits? Access to tea making facilities? What if they prefer coffee?
I have always been nervous about hot water bottles bursting so a great alternative are magic bags! No boiling water required.
Most definitely yes to the yellow trim and doors
It's always so funny to me when you say that the 50 year old house is very old, because I live in Paris and here most buildings date from the 1870's :) (Of course the inside is renovated !)
I usually use 'old' in the sense that this house hasn't been updated in such a long time! It's for search engine optimisation as others who are buying fixer uppers can more easily find the content! :)
@@melaniemurphyofficial and it's looking so good now! You got me into house reno when I didn't care about it 😁
I’m all for colourful trim!! Ariel Bissett’s home renovation videos really show how beautiful it can be!
Oh your house is beautiful!!! Love the sage and the flooring.. the fireplace, gorgeous ❤ I understand your worries for your first when you are having your second.. he’ll be ok I worried too much .. don’t think about everything beforehand 🌺❤️
As a chimney sweeper I love what you did to your fireplace!
You and Thomas seem to have so much fun together...
I'm nesting through these videos since we can't even paint the walls in our rental. I'm due in the Spring and I can't wait to hear your birth story!
Peel off wallpaper!
Ahh! so happy for you and your family with the new house updates/progress and being so close to meeting your new baby! Happy Holidays!
tbh i usually dont like when vloggers bring their husband on camera but I'm obsessed with thomas
The only fires in new builds are electrical fires. 🙃 Or so it seems here. As someone with a father who is a handyman, I really appreciate Thomas' tip. My dad is always very appreciate of the people that offer him water on hot days, or even a meal sometimes, and talk with him. He has had clients like that for as long as I've been alive, that love to call him and he likes to help them. The sage green looks so beautiful! I am also first learning to drive at 26 years old! Which is sometimes seen as odd in the States. I'm getting used to it, but I relate to still needing someone in the car to supervise or help me watch out for other people.
Loved this, wishing you the best birthing experience and you and your family lots of happiness and joy. ❤❤
I love Caroline, she gives such good practical advice :)
your home is so you
Love your updates. Wishing you and your beautiful family health and happiness.
I absolutely love these videos ♡ it feels like I'm catching up with a friend! I personally love the white trim in the bedroom but I am not a visionary when it comes to decor (very much a minimalist). The house looks gorgeous!!! I'm so glad Thomas will be done with long haul flights in time for your little girl ♡ what a huge relief! Can't wait to see more house content! 🙌
you'll be surprised how different your son will act with his nana too when he stays overnight. xx they often are more well behaved too and routine changes don't affect them as much x
Antique white by dulux for skirting and doors in your bedroom, had it in my old room that was a similar colour to your room and they really compliment each other
I love these videos, it's so interesting to see a realistic renovation
The house is coming together so beautifully
Farrow and Ball India Yellow on the skirting. Have it in our nursery and it’s perfect.
You're husband should never be sad. I wish you both all the joy!!!
you can get candle melt warmers for the stove, and also cast iron fans which are a lot more aesthetically pleasing as they match the stove
What kind of saved my postpartum both times was freezer meals. Especially with my high needs baby I would not have been able to cook a Hello Fresh meal. It is pre-prepped but still takes time to put together and very often I was grateful to just be able to put something in the oven. I think Hello Fresh is amazing for many people in every day life, but I just got frustrated when we tried it once because I love improvising in cooking, as well as spontaneously decide to make something and I felt stifled by what we had pre-chosen. I'm weird.😆
It won’t be me cooking hehehehe! It’ll be Thomas … he’s like a postpartum doula! 😂💚 But yeah I just love the idea of having fresh food every day while I try to recover, I’ve been so big on meal kit services recently as they’ve massively helped me to stop eating so much stodge! Xxx
@@melaniemurphyofficial oh I get it! I would have loved to have my husband home during postpartum! Cooking while holding a cryîng baby is not fun. Thomas will be a great doula!
Just my favourite person ever to watch on youtube, thank you so much Melanie
My friend is expecting her baby at the same time as you! I can't wait for the tiny socks. I call them sogs because they're so tiny
Such wholesome cosy vibes
I had no clue I'd actually find these little house things so fascinating
Just watched Caroline’s video right before watching yours so it’s wild to hear you say her name! Always love when my internet favs love each other 🥰❤️
You are always beautiful melanie looking forward to the arrival of your second chii wish the best for you and your family love you melanie and love your family awesome video
Your channel has made me obsessed with home renovation and home decor for a good minute now. 🤣 And I have become obsessed with a show called For the Love of Kitchens and I thought "I bet Melanie would like this show" 🤣🤣🤣 I am so excited for you guys to have your baby girl!!! 😁
Ooh myyyy, I live for the singing bits at the end 😆😆❤️❤️❤️
Hi Mel! As someone who is anxious about learning to drive, I would love to hear about your experience and plucking up the courage to go for it! Warm Greetings to ireland 💫🌟
I painted my bedroom to be like a warm spring day soft mineral mist (soft blue)with daffidil white (paleest yellow)!
I love these vlogs so much. But also, the version of “Concerning Hobbits” that you had playing in your cooking segment was amazing. Lol!
I love love love the sage green walls! 😍
Your bedroom is beautifully coordinated to your makeup, hair and outfit even though it was probably unintentional - all looking very chic! Though I do like the white door & trim, I think it’ll go beautifully with the curtains ♥️
Love the colour of your bedroom walls
I love a like creamy warm white and maybe a yellowish creamy white would be a good way to go with the trim and doors. That could be carried into other rooms too creating connection but also warming up the trim and door.
ABSOLUTELY LOVE how the house is coming together! Also love the LOTR and HOTD music 💚😍
I very much appreciate your honesty during this renovation... THANK YOU>>>
Got 4 meals for two of us for €27!! Thanks so much!! So excited for hello fresh to be in Ireland ❤❤❤
Cuppa with the boilerman is going on my yearly check list 😂😜
Oh also: before my second was born, my oldest went for a night to sleep at my mom's house for the first time, to see how it would go. I felt like it was easier for her to be in a different environment and for us not to be there then if she was in our house, but without us. She had never stayed overnight away from us anywhere until that point- and it went incredibly well. By the time I went into labor, I knew I didn't have to worry about her.
the house of the dragon music! goosebumps!!
Great Tommy Takeover Tip 👍
Go for the yellow! It will be beautiful.
Wall matches your eyes! Amazing back drop for you 😊
Lots of people weren't taking care of the hot water bottles so they'd break but more often there'd be kettle boiled water poured in and putting too much water into them so they would break and burst. They come with lots of care instructions now.
I had the same aversion to petrol smells when I was pregnant with my daughter (and had to walk to work...in a city). I carried a cut lemon in a hankie and sniffed it along the way. Folk stared, but it was preferable to heaving in the street!
I LOVE the Lord of The Rings / Concerning Hobbits background music playing in the beginning of the video!!!!! I'm also so excited for you! 💚
Eco Fan (wood stove fans) from Lee Valley Tools in Canada are super nice!
My friend has sky blue and yellow in his kitchen / living room and it looks amazing! I am sure you could find a way to make it work!
you should paint the radiator the color of the walls!
You and Thomas ❤️❤️❤️
I try to be nice and respectful to learners as we all were at one point. I’d never beep at them and only overtake if they’ve stopped at the side of the road or something similar, like I would with any other driver, just with a bit more patience
LOTR background music is GIVING ME LIFE!!!
There are stove fams rhat don't require amy electricity, and they actually look pretty neat! 😊
this house is gonna be such a dreaaaam
Can you clone Thomas so everyone can have one???
I love the hobbiton music!! 🥰😍🤩
I’ll be so excited to see your house decorated for Christmas! I’m impressed with all of the improvements you’ve done! Before your first pregnancy, you had some food sensitivities related to IBS; did those ever come back after your first pregnancy?
How about painting the bedroom door and trimmings the same colour as your walls ?
I love a good hot water bottle
We have electric hot water bottle, they can't burst open and won't go as hot too.
If we don’t see you all the love in the world to you 💚💚💚
I use a microwave wheat bag instead of a hot water bottle as I'm so scared a hot water bottle will burn me lol
Oh no poor don't let your food get cold for us!!!! Love you
TIL that some people get a euphoric feeling from smelling gasoline lol
to me the walls look like light-green :D
