I swear every time I hear our little grackle say husband or wedding I smile from ear to ear. She is growing up so fast on us and my heart wasn’t ready but I digress she deserves all the love and happiness in the world for the extraordinary woman she is and yet to become. Mr Grackle better know the army she has behind her and always treat her like the queen she is.
Love you Grace my heart is so elated for you and your husband ❤️
I still can't believe our Grace has a hubby ❤😊
To stop the radiator shelf bowing from heat I taped tin foil to the underside of mine and works a treat!
Grack I'd highly recommend getting Wrens Kitchen round to measure your kitchen. We wanted to knock a wall down to make our kitchen open plan but once they drew the plans up for us with the extra area, we realised it wasn't worth the haste. Taking the wall down naturally means far less cabinet and wall space overall. It's free and a great experience to go in store and design! Much love ♥.
Hey Grace! Please be careful with the tealight so close to the pink ribbon, theyre flammable, its best to keep tealights at a safe distance from any fabrics 🙏 Love your vlogs xx
I would use a battery operated tea light.
I just wanna say, I’ve been watching you since my daughter was a baby (2020) and even at the time she loved watching your videos and would get excited to see you as if you were a personal friend to us. Thank you for your content, pippa-rose is now 4 and still enjoys your videos along with me. Love from Canada ♡
Traditional for my family and Ireland, the wedding dress would be made into the first child's christening gown. The veil you can put along with your shoes in a 3d frame 😊x
I kept my veil and dress, not expecting any of my four daughters to wear it necessarily, but the ring bearer pillow at my wedding was made from my grandmas dress and the flower girl basket decorated with lace from it. So keeping it in case they want to do something like that with it :)
Something I learned was to just adjust the height of your curtain pole to make your curtains the right length. Raise it to lift them from the floor or lower it (as far as possible to not show top of window frame) to make curtains hang lower to floor. Easier than adjusting curtains or keep changing wrong kength in shop 👍
You're definitely radiating happiness and confidence these days!
New subscriber to both of your channels as of now after watching a multitude of shorts and vlogs pop up in my feed over the past few months.
Your content is genuinely good without any unnecessary fluff and stuff. Also, I find it relaxing when my anxiety kicks in.
Thank you
Put a little honey in the lemon and ginger hot water --- it really helps the sore throat vibe and is antiseptic ... and makes it taste batter too.
As for curtains that are too long, raise the curtain rod. It makes the room look taller.
On vinted you can change your postage options in settings! So you can send all the orders through just one place. I have an inpost locker near me so I just turned off all the other options! Now when someone buys something I can always just send it from there xx
Wow wait that’s genius. Btw if you’re into nyc vlogs but if so, you might like mine. Swing by, take a peek and stick around if you like. I’d be sooo grateful. 🙏
Same here. People can choose any of my options and I can send them from there :) evri and inpost
Love watching your journey Grace - you deserve all the good things!
I'm glad you love posting these videos because we love watching them! :) I've been in hospital for coming up to a year and whenever you post it makes my day
“I feel like Lord Sugar”
Grace, you’re so funny. 😂 Love you. xx
We started with our bedroom. We needed to get one room where we could live. Then we did our kitchen, we knocked down the we between the “back room” & the old kitchen to have a kitchen diner and I am in love. We still have a living room in the front of the house which I love.
A friend of mine kept her wedding dress. She had a little girl and ever since she was born on her little girl’s birthday she has a photoshoot of her wearing her wedding gown. My vote is keep it!!!
The vail can be used to make part of a christening gown so keep it !
Wait that’s such a good idea I’m using it for mine! Btw if you’re into nyc vlogs but if so, you might like mine. Swing by, take a peek and stick around if you like. I’d be sooo grateful. 🙏
how do you know she wants kids?
@@maneskinnnnn7190 do you know Grace ! Lol
17:08 She’s so adorable! Banksy’s fur looks so lovely, you can tell she’s a very loved little cat❤
Really enjoying your styling/makeover videos! Feels refreshing watching a ”regular person” (not like interior design youtuber) making their home feel like home ❤️
This was genuinely the motivation I needed to sort my life out lol - starting to move out of my parent's house as I'm getting married in 2 weeks from today!! So desperately need to clear out a bunch of clothes and sell them too!
Return the curtains, get the long ones and ask your mum to sew trim them and use the sowing machine to tidy them up, custom curtains are so expensive!
A tip for refurbing housing, strip the walls down and ignoring the flooring as a colour influence. Do a base white or white wash if newly plastered, after a strip down. My walls were influenced by the colour of the old beige carpet.
Our self built L shaped sofa + king size sofa bed that we bought, was a great choice in chocolate brown for a black/ brindle dog and a baby/ toddler now child.
Removing the velcro covers and washing them, may have removed the smell and stains but the memories or vomits, wee, dog poo and plastercine baby poo freed, will stay engraved in my memoirs! lol
Top buy i would say 9 years on! We have a corner crack on one of the mdf slates, from a child using it as a trampoline park. Matress is a bit thin but we saved our old Argos sofa bed mattress. Was great for a "TV night" downstairs. The other part of the L bit was unaffected by the sofa bed and is ideal for kids sized bed and more stable than the hammock style spring of the sofa bed.
Another space i allow is setting up our beach tent in the living in the colder months. We chuck a kids size sofa bed in there. It is a double, with legs hanging out at the end.
I got our kid into Minecraft and then MCC. Tent nights are great if i have to hook up the laptop to watch our favourite family friendly streamers. If on YT, we can watch it in our bedroom and they get to sleep in our bed as a treat with me until Daddy squashes us and snores! lol
I love open spaces for us to rearrange things on the fly and not have an IG chair in a space that looks good but isn't practical.
Love those gold hoop earrings, you look so chic. I like when your hair is in a bun too, you look like a model. Much love ❤️ from Indiana.
With regards to your veil - I am getting married next year and I really wanted to wear something old. Amazingly, I had the choice of my mums or my grandmas veil, one is ivory, the other white so either way I could wear something that meant so much to me. Also, my grandma unfortunately passed away so it means even more now! Don't sell it, keep it for future weddings, it may mean so much to future children/grandchildren!
Grace that pink jumper really did look fabulously cute on you! ❤❤
Have you done a house tour? It does not have to be remodeled or anything, just love house tours. So curious as to how different houses are in England. There seems to be doors in every room!
I would like to see this as well!
How do you get in rooms that don’t have doors?……
how is it a room without a door?
I love it! Just a note about the curtains, if you can, I would actually get the longer ones. That way you can take them to a tailor to have them shortened :)
I felt so anxious this morning so I am binging through your vlogs ♡ thank you ♡♡
Ginger is an anti-inflammatory, so definitely good for a sore throat
Always love watching your vlogs, they're so peaceful and lovely. 🥰💜
Pink DEFINITELY suits you. Love it!
I want to explain the M&S sale. It’s all to do with Christmas stock so all the food halls have moved everything around and some stores that are smaller than others needed to get rid of certain lines to make room for Christmas stock. Hence the cheap prices. The bigger stores didn’t need to get rid of as much stuff so the bargains were more limited. I hope that makes sense
Save the veil in careful packaging, maybe in a box with paper and then seal that in plastic, if you want to keep it well enough to pass it on. The dress may be more in the way in storage and the chances of a daughter fitting into your size is small. You can always make a dress a bit smaller but bigger is often impossible. But a veil will always fit.
On Vinted, you can turn certain postage places off and set it to the ones or one closest to you!!
I always send 2nd class Royal Mail , I don’t give them a choice lol like it or lump it and the postman comes with the labels and collects it at your door for free!
Grace, assuming you know about the 'Brigits double decker bus with afternoon tea" - would make a great London adventure on a bus tour with your fav tea!!!
My mother used her wedding dress to make a christening gown for myself and brother ! It’s mine now and it’s so gorgeous but sadly I can’t have children but I’m hoping my partners children will use it! But what a beautiful idea I thought. I know it took a lot to to cut into her dress but like she said it would only get mothsballs up in the attic. This was back 1970 s and 80’s before you all come at me for saying about mothballs when we can buy packaging to stop that happening! Just an idea for your dress and veil or one of them. X❤
I got into Vinted when I moved him from uni this time last year and woah!!! I’ve made so much from it and cleared so much space in my wardrobe ❤
Did you like the Chinese? And yes, 100% keep your veil! It's not only a sentimental piece, but you're right, if you have a daughter one day, she will love that you saved it. x
I know this is a bit after the question, but keep the veil. I kept my dress and veil, and when my daughter got married last year, she could only use the veil. Like you, I was very thin and small, and I'm also short. She was never going to be able to wear my dress, so the veil was the only thing she could use. We were both very glad there was something she could wear from my wedding.
Tip for Vinted: in your settings you can select the postage options you want to offer - so you can just pick one or two and then you can do everything in one place - game changer
I have my mums wedding veil and I’m so happy I do :)
Very random, but I loove that pink jumper on you and the scoopneck looks absolutely amazing on!!!
The off the shoulder jumper looks amazing on you!
You need to level up that lemon and ginger with a wad of honey Gracks... bliss! Love watching your home reno stuff x
Please keep the veil it’s gorgeous !!!
I kept my dress and veil. It was my mum's so defiantly going to keep mine.
I didn’t have a veil but I’ve so far kept both wedding dresses I had and my headpiece. I’m thinking of just watching the tv in them and recreating some friends!!
Hi Grace, I know what you mean about just wanting something warm and comforting to drink. I love a cup of tea, but also, I really love a hot squash. it's just the best warm drink on a cold, frosty day ❤
for the curtains, can you use fabric tape to shorten them?
Oh poor love Grace, it's really going around this sore throat, post-nasal and sometimes going to the chest, bronchitis. Perhaps, get a corticosteroid to dry up the post-nasal and some paracetamol for headaches or body/joint pain. Also, most important get rest 🛌 ps. Love the armchair and could do with a new one at the practice, giving me ideas❤
When my youngest daughter moved out of home she did the same think accidentally sending items delivered hone lol
The blue jumper really made you pop! If you eat too much kimchi or sauerkraut it can make your throat sore...not sure if that was what was happening or if you were sick. Hope you feel better either way! ❤ Love these Grace type vlogs!!
My wedding dress sat in a wardrobe for years so I finally donated it to a charity that helps arrange weddings for terminally ill people who can't afford a wedding due to medical costs, no regrets ❤️
you listening to christmas music in the car is such a vibe :D
Grace how could you say you can have your vlog in the background, I legit save your daily vlogs for a treat at the end of the day while putting my feet up 😂 also the vinted hustle is hilarious! Xx
Hi grace I kept my vail and my headdress, my sister in law used it and Now it has been 38 years and still white. Little hint rap it in dark blue tissue paper it will keep it white
sooo early! just as me and my sister sat down to watch some youtube - perfect!
Let you mum shorten the curtains! No need to take the, back
Or she could maybe lower the curtain rail
You've made your dining room look so cute! Vinted is so addictive lol xx
If the curtains are too long you can either move the pole up the required amount or else use iron on double sided tape (vylene) to re hem the curtains with no sewing.
I heard of a nice idea after my wedding to use the veil made into part of a baby girl’s dress when you have children. Like first dedication into the church.
Dude such a good idea I’m copying! Btw if you’re into nyc vlogs but if so, you might like mine. Swing by, take a peek and stick around if you like. I’d be sooo grateful. 🙏
how do you know she wants children?
@@maneskinnnnn7190She has mentioned wanting kids multiple times over the years
Spoonful of honey with your honey and ginger, Gack! Eating raw garlic’s good too for fighting colds and sore throats x
thanks for not ripping the boxes apart like some psychopaths do in their videos
I love the doors in your house!
Love these videos! The M&S sale was to clear for christmas bits so must have just missed out!!
Love the neutral colors of the drapes and table cloth. I also like the basket on the table. Instead of buying new drapes just LOWER the curtain rod if you can. Just a thought.
❤❤❤ i wish i knew you in real life because you are just so genuine and grateful and joyful (i know we gave have struggles so i am sure its not happy all the time) but i struggle a lot mentally and physically atm esp w things, anyway ramble but this just lifted things a bit and im so grateful xoxox
hey just letting you know that you can change your settings so that you only deliver through a certain company!! i was having to drive here there and everywhere until I set it to my nearest (evri)!
I kept my wedding dress for a couple of years and then decided to dye it pink and sell it as a bridesmaid/prom dress. I don't miss it, I was never going to wear it again and I have the pictures.
Really enjoyed this. Like the Korean ones but with wor Grace 😂
Keep it, my daughter wants to sew part of my veil into her wedding dress
I had the same reaction to you when selling on Vinted. Feeling like Lord Sugar 😂
okay I just have to tell you, but the pink jumper looked GREAT on you! hope you kept it :)
KEEP THE PINK! IT LOOKS SO GOOD ON YOU!
I love the colour of that wall
I love vinted! I use it to sell my littles clothes as they grow out of them so quick.
Would you share your vinted handle so that we could perhaps buy some pieces? Love the cosy style you have!
Yes pink suits you!
Erm you looked FAB in that pink jumper missy! X❤
33yrs married still have wedding dress and veil, my mum cut up her wedding dress for communion dresses for me and my sister, she still has her veil which I would have used it but it was wrong shade of white. I should have used mine as a Christening robe as I don't think my daughter will want it.
I never heard of a sensory class in my life and I was curious so I looked it up. Turns out it's mostly a UK thing. Interesting!
It’s a really cool concert I wish they had it here! Btw if you’re into nyc vlogs but if so, you might like mine. Swing by, take a peek and stick around if you like. I’d be sooo grateful. 🙏
The dining room looks so much better! Those vertical blinds were not a good look haha. also you and the hubby should get your own kitty :D
I got married years ago and paid to have the dress boxed to keep it safe it may never see the light of day but i wanted to keep it
You look gorgeous in pink!! 💖💖💖💖
Does anyone know where the clothing haul was from? I really like the first jacket
😂 thank you for the very entertaining vlog.. road rage to Taylor Swift to Michael Buble Christmas lol
Why not hang the curtains higher? It’d make the room appear taller too
I still have my wedding dress and veil from 46 years ago😊
I think Banks should come to live with you and Mr Grack, it would mean that you can keep each other company during the day too, as I bet Banks gets lonely without you!
I couldn't wear my mothers dress but was able to wear her veil keep both you never know what your daughter or daughters would like
where’s your cute navy jumper from, the one you wore in the car with the buttons in the front? ❤ looked to nice!
Is it just me or does the tea light thing look like it’s one of those holy water things 😂
Left us hanging on the Chinese takeaway?! 😂
Yes I was wondering if it was nice or not?😂
Hi Grack!! Love your pieces from Arket. Do you happen to remember the name of the black tight T-shirt with the wide neckline? Looks so classy and nice!!
PINK IS YOUR COLOUR!!!!!
How are you doing so well on Vinted? I started it recently and I just get fave after fave but nobody buys anything. 😆
Hey sorry did you say which color the wall paint is? looks lovely !
what is your vinted? x
Dream iron the table cloth😊
