Petition for James and Carys to NEVER do a short vlog.. we live for the long catch ups! And ftr I believe we call them renovation properties in the uk ☺️
My biggest tip for house flipping is buy with your head and not your heart. That goes for all the fixtures and fittings too. Also renting them out at the end can be a thankless task, the renovation is the most rewarding part. Good luck!
I’m so happy you’re showing this process online! I’d be so sad if you left it private, I love your guys diy’s and house stuff..love all your videos tbh😂😂💓
Carys when you were playing the piano with Amber I started tearing up. My daughter will be 9 in February and I pictured you being able to look back at this moment with her. So sweet, keep playing with her would love to see her playing as she grows ❤
the thought of a whole series of you renovating/decorating a whole another home is 😍 (can’t wait to see that embroidered kiss cushion in a new location montage 😂). Also id be super interested in watching as my boyfriend always goes on about how I need to save from now to ever get on the housing market/wants to eventually renovate houses, and when he explains it it’s so dull (🥲) so I need you to Carys it up!! X
I got goose bumps and teared up as you played the piano for Amber. Such a sweet moment. And, then you had those beautiful crystals...I agree, they are beautiful in and of themselves, and if the energy they bring is helpful, so be it! :)
Coming from a someone who grew up flipping, and still do it with my parents- you're going to need more money than you'll think, it's going to take longer than you'll think, you will get stressed out way more than you think you will, and things will absolutely go wrong at some point. If you plan on keeping and renting also be prepared for anything and everything you worked so hard on to be completely destroyed, either on purpose or by accident. But it is a lot of fun and the feeling of accomplishment when you finish is worth it 🙂
this!!! I dont own a house but the rental properties I've seen where the tenants have destroyed a house is heartbreaking. One because I didnt then want the house and two because the landlords then have to fork out thousands more! High rent and a big deposit will hopefully secure tenants that are of age and maturity. Xx
@@misszt Unfortunately high rent/deposit isn't usually a deterrent, we've seen the best luck pricing just at or under market to get more applications to choose from and really putting a lot of effort into the interviews and checking references. Depending on the area higher rent usually just means a lot of young people moving in together to split the rent, and they often cause a lot of accidental damage simply because they don't know something or they have large groups of friends that come over/party. Getting a tenant in at just below market helps a lot in finding a great person who wants to stay long term or would be persuaded to stay longer as its the best house in their budget/cheapest in the area, which in turn also usually has them taking better care of the house because they know they don't plan on leaving.
@@misszt are you jokingggg 😂 the only thing heartbreaking about the rental world is landlords buying up unnecessary houses, and then taking half of someone’s income who then can’t afford a house because of said landlord.
I love house flipping content! If you want some inspo or reference, I'd heavily suggest Xo, MaCenna. She's transforming her home and has done so much of the work herself and alongside her family/partner. ☺️
Carys, Im totally feeling the season changes too! It's been an especially hard week for me and like you said, knowing your not alone and there's a real reason for it has been making me go a little easier on myself for a change!
We have just bought our first home and it was a massive project. We did everything ourself from electrics to flooring to plastering. We have added 40k value to our house which is nice to know but we don’t want to move now after all the hard work ❤️ I will say it’s extremely time consuming even if it’s just decorating so be mindful of that with having a small child. Not as easy as people think but it is very rewarding x
Here comes everyone rushing to tell James and Carys why flipping homes is terrible and contributes to the housing shortage 👀 (I don’t feel this way but SO many people on the Internet are very against flipping, renting or anything of the sort)
Investment property is a rental and flipping houses is used in the Uk. I do both, we have rental and flip. You have to remember when doing the houses up, you are not doing it to live in and want the most profit so do it well but cheaper than if you were going to live there.
Personally I prefer the shorter vlogs. Even more if that means it is easier for you two to produce more vlogs. If it is too long I find myself getting destracted by other things because I mostly watch them during a break from cleaning, cooking, etc
Your vlogs just make my day. I’m a very anxious person and watching your videos just make me feel so calm and cosy. So happy to hear you’re uploading more this month I can’t wait 🥺💕
I definitely want to see this process as I’ve been wanting to invest in property myself. I’ve been researching so I’m so happy you decided to post this when you did
Honestly started laugh/crying so much when you were turning the piano song book and it came up with that song haha! Amber is honestly the cutest. I love how you play piano and sing to her, its so sweet x
Even though the new house reno would be fun, I feel like I’d say don’t do it with a small child. It’s so time consuming and time away from your baby when you could wait a few years till she’s in preschool etc. I just say that because we did a whole house up with a baby, and one of us could NEVER help, because - baby, so it was always just my husband doing all the work, talking to builders etc as I had to take care of the baby/ toddler and the whole project became quite a chore tbh 🙃
Really love your long vlogs :) i have a lot things going on in life medically and all sorts and watching your vlogs calms my Serve anxiety down and puts a smile on my face and makes me laugh . Amber is beautiful and I can see Carys cheeky smile in her more these days … her features are changing so much but just as beautiful as always . We just had a new puppy a cross Labrador with cocker spaniel we named him Toby only got him Thursday and we have his big sister Minnie who from same doggy parents .. my partner travelled to wales to get him … his cheeky and running rings around Minnie lol xx
You will have so much fun flipping a house! We have done 3 already and currently working on an 1885 Victorian that I have fallen in love with, just might keep this one.....
Carys I love that you’re thinking about getting your hands dirty on the new home renovation!! You were such an inspiration for me to get back into doing that stuff again, painted my parents entire basement redid floors all that and now I’m hoping I get this job I’m going for doing construction on homes!!! Something I didn’t think I’d be able to do but hopefully I’m getting that chance!!!
So surprised that you play the piano. Sounds beautiful and I love how you played for Amber. One of the great memories I have from growing up was my father playing the piano, so it is amazing to see you play for Amber
I'm so excited that you have got some crystals ❤️🔮 they are a big part of my life & practice & they are so wonderful 💕 loved that the longer vlogs are coming back!!!!
Carys you need to take Vitamin D everyday in the darker times of the year (especially if you suffer with SAD ) vitamin D is what the sun gives you it's really helps! ☀ 💊
So long as you are both happy with what you want to do to a house when you find it, it doesn’t matter what we think tbh, you have enough good people around you to make sure you don’t lose your minds during a renovation and James’s sensible head will calm Carys through it all and I for one will be watching every bit you want too share with us so good luck with your house hunting, don’t worry about the naysayers who seem to work so had at being upset about something that has zero impact on their actual lives, you will never be able to make them change their minds as they seem to enjoy the pain those words cause, the only important thing is that you are happy with what your doing and those that support you will be along for the ride no matter what happens down the road. 🥰
Always watch your videos before I go to work (I’m a year 2 teacher)… why did I start crying when Amber started playing a note and you started the twilight song 🤣 so emotional!
I can’t tell you how excited I am about this. I have ALWAYS wanted to get into flipping houses. I’m hoping this will give me confidence to try it for myself!! Best of luck to you guys, I know you will kill it !!
Thanks for sharing about your fun future house project ideas! So fun and inspiring! It sounds silly but I feel towards you how I do about other friends, and I am here for/support all the fun experiences you two do! But I know what you mean about sharing online, so thank you for including us when you just as easily could not have! ☺️ 🥰
Glass mugs are the best! I got some from IKEA and am literally watching this drinking tea out of one. Watching you play the piano for Amber made me smile so much! I think it so special that you share your passions with her, so lovely! Also a big fan of crystals, I have found that they have helped me a lot through my toughest times - I would recommend 'The Crystal Code' by Tamara Driessen if you like reading about how to harness the power of crystals and what each crystal is good for, one of my fave books!
PLEASE don’t stop cutting your vlogs!! Honestly, half an hour would go too quick! I would have to make another cuppa 😂 Also, the sound quality is better with James’s AirPods in ☺️
Renovating a house is a great idea! It may seem scary at first but you will learn along the way! Good luck you guys, hope you find a right property for you! Great video ❤❤
Flipping a house is great In principle for example at the moment the house market is booming so houses are going for more than they are probably worth (bad if you want to make reasonable profit when you sell on) however the issue is labour is also going up as is the price of materials. I just bought my first house and the quote I got to build a 2 foot wall to put a window back in instead of french doors was £1500 when it should be about £300 so some small things to bare in mind 🤷🏻♀️
I live for the movie style clogs 100% but love anything you guys share with us! Exciting news on the second property. You guys will rock this project! 😊😊😊
My fiancé has those glass mugs and loves them!! They’re made of some special glass that won’t burn you when you touch the handle. They’re really cool! 🤗♥️
Do it up and sell it!!! There are so many people in the USA who are renting it out and it is causing a lot of issues for people to get affordable housing to buy! If you do chose to rent obviously that’s not bad, but just trying not to have to many rental properties is definitely more ethical! 🥰
Petition for James and Carys to NEVER do a short vlog.. we live for the long catch ups! And ftr I believe we call them renovation properties in the uk ☺️
I love the long vlogs aswell 🥰
Fixer upper sounds fun😜
Yepp no more short vloggs
Yes I agree!!!!
Hour longs are bestcxx
After a long day at work, there's nothing better watching a long James and Carys' video 🥰
The clip of you playing the piano to Amber brought a tear to my eye!! What a lucky girl having such wonderful parents ❤️🥰
You guys should do a video reacting to the q&a you did a year ago before you had amber and talk about the answers you gave then vs now!
My biggest tip for house flipping is buy with your head and not your heart. That goes for all the fixtures and fittings too.
Also renting them out at the end can be a thankless task, the renovation is the most rewarding part.
Good luck!
Just 1 minute in.....Seriously Carys, your hair looks amazing no matter what you do to it. I think you can pull off any look. Stunning you are x
The clip of James at the gym that was Inserted at the end says “missing file” instead of the clip playing
I have honestly never laid eyes on a cuter looking baby than Amber, she’s such a perfect little happy smiley chubby cheeked baby 😍😍😍
I’m so happy you’re showing this process online! I’d be so sad if you left it private, I love your guys diy’s and house stuff..love all your videos tbh😂😂💓

omg that piano section literally made my day 🥺 the absolute cutest and wholesome 💕
I got goose bumps and teared up as you played the piano for Amber. Such a sweet moment. And, then you had those beautiful crystals...I agree, they are beautiful in and of themselves, and if the energy they bring is helpful, so be it! :)
The cutest you playing the piano,with Amber for first time...so precious.x
Amber in the highchair near the piano the most sweetest moment to treasure.
Carys please do something Christmasy on the piano nearer to Christmastime.

Love the house flipping idea. Would be interesting to see so thanks for sharing! So cute playing piano to Amber 🥰 you’re really good at playing! Xx
I’m speaking for everybody on here we want the longer vlogs!! lol
Personally I prefer the shorter vlogs. Even more if that means it is easier for you two to produce more vlogs. If it is too long I find myself getting destracted by other things because I mostly watch them during a break from cleaning, cooking, etc
I only just finished the other vlog 😂 more carys and James yayyyyyy
First thought - 'oh I need that green sweater'. Influencer really do influence 😍
Ditto, need to find where it was bought from.
@@blessthisemptynest m&s I think x

@@blessthisemptynest me too! Plus another cardigan!
M&S I have the same one :)
