For your keepsakes shelf, I just want to say your career is something to be really proud of and you should totally keep these things on display! You deserve a dedicated office space if you can find one and I really think it would be nice to keep these things on display to remind you how hard you've worked and how much you've achieved. You're a boss, don't forget it!
Actually I think you should totally keep your awards on display! And the fact that they are in River's playroom is just right! She can look up to them and remember that her mum is a super boss! 😎
The room is so nice Fleur, I would hate to see all that lovely wood painted, the rug is perfect......you did a great job. .....And you should keep all your special awards and memories out....you worked hard for them and this is your office as well..............Donna in Toronto
You are GLOWING whatever you are doing is working so well...please update us with ur night routines...the good old reviews.🥰 you introduced to me ordinary and i cant stop using them for 3yrs now
I involuntarily said aloud “the signed wonderstruck perfume!!!” when I saw it perched on the shelf haha. I remember you getting that and saying it would always have a place of pride
I love this content! When we are gifted large toys I rotate them. Mostly because we live in a small home so there is no space for a separate toy room. I keep out a basket of toys for her room and a larger item then pack up other things in the garage and rotate them every once in awhile. It helps to keep things fresh and less to organize/tidy up!
Oh no! Don't paint the wood, it's so beautiful as it is! I'd just refurbish it with a good clean, sand and neutral wax. It has a wonderful old charm to it 😊
If you paint the cupboards then French chic paint is fantastic you can't really go wrong .. I love your room , a wing back chair in there would be really cool to sit and read together or for when your watching her play will be especially useful when you get your little rainbow so you can sit and snuggle and still spend time in there with river x Ashlee x
And for the love of all things holy and good, please don’t paint all that gorgeous wood! Just a nice sand and neutral wax and restore it back to its glory! It’s so beautiful!
This room is gorgeous, the storage space is lovely! And I love the rough floor. The messy before is hilarious 😂 we have boxes of rubbish my little one likes to play with set up in every room 😂
Such beautiful cupboards - although I love painting furniture, I think in this case it would be lovely just to give these a little tlc and a bit of wax to cheer them up a bit! I am always amazed at the amount of toys children have, but feel they can never have too many books. The rug really anchors the space, and gives a cosy vibe on top of the characterful floorboards.
You should get a totter and tumble play mat in there, they are memory foam, wipe clean and really lovely rug designs , definitely our best play room buy.
Looks great, the rug really helps liven the space up and I agree you should wait to redo the room till river is a bit older and won't just destroy it. Can you do an updated perfume collection vid and an antique/vintage jewellery collection vid please
Love the space you've created for River! I agree, the cabinets are otherwise beautiful but for functionality may need a little touch up. Now I want to brainstorm what can be organized in my home :)
I'd get the floor sanded and re-finisned and totally get all cabinets painted white. Would brighten and open up the room so much! Add some cute curtains too.
omg I would still love a signed copy of your books 😅You were doing a meet up in SF like 4-5ish years ago and I so wanted to come, but I had just started a new job and couldn't get the time off 😭It's so interesting as a long time viewer to see how this room has changed over the years
I loved this video. I have those old door what I did to make mine open easier is to take a bar of soap and run it back and fourth on the metal runners and mine open perfectly now
Oooh that’s a good tip for the mean time, thanks! Been looking for someone to restore these and another set in my house for a while now but keep being let down by tradesmen :(
I have lots of "used to be my....(insert item/space here)" as well! Four dogs later, I'm going to say they own the house! I can't imagine adding a perfect kiddo to the mix! No worries, I prefer the "lived- in" look anyway!
what did you decide to do with the desk that was in there? I imagine you're creating another office somewhere since this seems to be totally a play room now?
this makes me want to sort my kids’ playroom out lol. There are sooooo many toys. I just don’t know what to do with them. No point getting rid of them as I have a 3 month old who will just get them re gifted as she grows up LOL.
What a beautiful room. This way, River will enjoy her toys even more. Where are her books? I bet they're in her bedroom :). All River needs for the costume is a pair of angel wings as she is so angelic
As a doll expert can you reccommend a good all round doll for a one year old that will last but that isn't really creepy?! I don't want it to make any noise or wee or anything. Hoping to get our little girl one for Christmas as she absolutely LOVES babies but currently hasn't got an actual doll. Thanks so much in advance! x
I always prefer the ones with a soft body and plastic face rather than the all plastic ones. To be honest, she either picks them herself or we’ve gotten hand me downs - so can’t really recommend a specific one! They always have a good selection in TK Maxx! X
@@FleurDeForce thanks so much for taking the time to reply. TK max is a great shout. I don't know why I think she will go for what I choose anyway?! No doubt she will pick the most hideously creepy, pink monstrosity that I hate but that won't leave her side. x
The wooden cabinets are so beautiful! I hope you don’t paint them. Love the rug as well! I think it’s lovely for River to be able to see all your awards and keepsakes.
You seem to have a big house, surely you have another room available for either her playroom or your office. Keep it rustic it beautiful the way it is.
There’s not really another place that would work for all her toys, this is right across from the kitchen so it’s the perfect room to use as a playroom :)
It’s incredible how many people have been inspired by the home edit! I’m a huge fan too! It actually gave me a kick to finally start my own professional organising business 🥳 I’m on ig @ joy_of_organised Play room turned out great, well done!! I suggest making picture labels ( on containers that are freely accessible ) for children that can’t read yet so they can find and put things away easily . Rug definitely made it more homely and probably nicer for Riv to sit on too. Xxx
I prefer small toys where you can store them away as they grow older. Big toys take up so much space which i always tell my family no big toys. Also prefer essentials things like clothes and things they have use of. I have a kitchen, mini car and a motor bike all from relatives. Mike is so skinny i wish i had slim legs whats your secret in getting them ☺️ This lockdown has made us eat more and less exercise really need to get back being fit.
Loved the clean up. Need to do the same for my kids. Just a suggestion- You could get some curtains to make it a little more decorative- some ghingam would be lovely and gender neutralS
Please do not rehab or paint those beautiful cabinets! They are so gorgeous, just update the hardware and put some wood conditioner on them and they will be so nice!

I definitely agree, she has achieved soo much throughout her career. It would be nice for her to keep her display show it off in pride 😊
I came here to find this exact comment! Fleur you’re many things, a mother, a wife but never lose sight of you!
That rug gave the room such a lift!!!!
Actually I think you should totally keep your awards on display! And the fact that they are in River's playroom is just right! She can look up to them and remember that her mum is a super boss! 😎
ah fleur, don't change the cabinets too much - love the rustic vibe of em!
The room is so nice Fleur, I would hate to see all that lovely wood painted, the rug is perfect......you did a great job. .....And you should keep all your special awards and memories out....you worked hard for them and this is your office as well..............Donna in Toronto
Love the wooden cabinets! I wouldn't paint them if I were you.
You are GLOWING whatever you are doing is working so well...please update us with ur night routines...the good old reviews.🥰 you introduced to me ordinary and i cant stop using them for 3yrs now
Love the way River plays with her " babies". So sweet.

Wow Fleur what a fantastic job you did! Thanks for sharing it was very inspiring and practical. You have a beautiful little family ❤️
Love your fashion sense. Loved everything you tried on especially the plaid lumber jacket. I think you should keep it!
Oh no! Don't paint the wood, it's so beautiful as it is! I'd just refurbish it with a good clean, sand and neutral wax. It has a wonderful old charm to it 😊
I feel the same, those cupboards are Devine!!! ❤️🇦🇺
What a lucky little girl! Love the video Fleur x
Such a cute space for River! It always feels so good to tidy out a room and get organized 😊 So excited for the gift guides coming up... Christmas!!
i binged watched that whole show in 1 night, its so satisfying 💗💗
Great little set up for River. It's really cute and organized. Thanks for sharing with us. #playroom
YES to painting the wooden cabinets! 💛
Watching this while packing my bathroom up for my move next weeks is keeping me going!!!
If you paint the cupboards then French chic paint is fantastic you can't really go wrong ..

Loving the Mum de Force content !! :)
Absolutely loving your content lately!
I know all my beanie baby names too!! Hehe you pack them away but they still have a little spot in your heart hahaha
I just saw this video pop up and it made me SO happy! Adore your vlogs and videos Fleur!
I love this room ♥️ it’s such a beautiful space and the perfect size for a playroom!
And for the love of all things holy and good, please don’t paint all that gorgeous wood! Just a nice sand and neutral wax and restore it back to its glory! It’s so beautiful!
I love declutter videos! And I love that the rooms a little bit beaten up, gives it character. Will you be doing a gift ideas for kids video?
Aw my daughter used to collect those Beanie babies, love that you've kept them, really enjoyable watching the transformation, good job 👌🥰🧡
OMG Mike with River is so so cute.
This room is gorgeous, the storage space is lovely! And I love the rough floor. The messy before is hilarious 😂 we have boxes of rubbish my little one likes to play with set up in every room 😂
Don't paint the cabinets, they're beautiful! If anything, give them a sand and restain them. The wood is too pretty to be covered up by paint!
Such beautiful cupboards - although I love painting furniture, I think in this case it would be lovely just to give these a little tlc and a bit of wax to cheer them up a bit! I am always amazed at the amount of toys children have, but feel they can never have too many books. The rug really anchors the space, and gives a cosy vibe on top of the characterful floorboards.
Love these kind of vlogs. Very inspiring. I love the raw wood too. Have a great week. Blessed Be from Phoenix AZ. 💖🐱🌵😎
Her hair is gorgeous 😍
You should get a totter and tumble play mat in there, they are memory foam, wipe clean and really lovely rug designs , definitely our best play room buy.
River is such a lucky girl to have you as her mumma😭
Great job, Fleur!
ooh the home edit also inspired me to reorganise my apartment!
Ahh label maker bliss. Time well spent
Please make more day in life or week in your life vlogs! Love those!
Looks great, the rug really helps liven the space up and I agree you should wait to redo the room till river is a bit older and won't just destroy it. Can you do an updated perfume collection vid and an antique/vintage jewellery collection vid please
please do a beanie baby video, it would be so lovely to see them as a nostalgia trip for me!
😂😂
I love these home Vlogs- can anyone tell me where the rug is from I think Fleur said Homesense?
Love the space you've created for River! I agree, the cabinets are otherwise beautiful but for functionality may need a little touch up. Now I want to brainstorm what can be organized in my home :)
I'd get the floor sanded and re-finisned and totally get all cabinets painted white.
Would brighten and open up the room so much! Add some cute curtains too.
Love you videos Fleur! Makes me just want to move to England and live on the country side!
Ahh, you seem to be very sentimental. If so, I can relate. I like this space, seems homey and rustic. And the cabinets are wabi sabi😉
Love the carpet!
By the way you should check out the Galaxy print collection from Stefania Vaidani, when I saw it i thought about you right away!
omg I would still love a signed copy of your books 😅You were doing a meet up in SF like 4-5ish years ago and I so wanted to come, but I had just started a new job and couldn't get the time off 😭It's so interesting as a long time viewer to see how this room has changed over the years
Can you tell me where you leave your watch when your sleeping
Your make up and skin looks incredible!
I would not change them. Try some bees wax on the runners of the cabinets. Might make things smoother opening. 🥰
I loved this video. I have those old door what I did to make mine open easier is to take a bar of soap and run it back and fourth on the metal runners and mine open perfectly now
Oooh that’s a good tip for the mean time, thanks! Been looking for someone to restore these and another set in my house for a while now but keep being let down by tradesmen :(
As for the sliding doors. Try rubbing some wax on the sliding hardware, that should make things a bit easier to open and close.
River's play room looks so cute, lucky girl. See Dog 🐕 Bingo sweet! Joan Bates
It looks great!!
I am fascinated by older homes. What was the original purpose of that room?
@@dunlopje you're right :) fleur mentioned it in an old video when she set up her office
What was the room before you lived there with the sink in it?
I have lots of "used to be my....(insert item/space here)" as well! Four dogs later, I'm going to say they own the house! I can't imagine adding a perfect kiddo to the mix! No worries, I prefer the "lived- in" look anyway!
what did you decide to do with the desk that was in there? I imagine you're creating another office somewhere since this seems to be totally a play room now?
where did your parents get the play kitchen? i’ve been looking for one that’s like that i’m not unto the little tikes plastic ones
Apparently Ikea one is amazing! Also Asda do some wooden ones! I’m getting one for my twins for Xmas I’m not a kids kitchen freak 🙃
I think this one was from wayfair!
This used to be my office. At here: It used to be my House 😝
Omg I had a Halo! 🤣 That really takes me back haha!
Where is the magnetic drawer from? I'm looking for one that size for my little boy x
No pic of when you met Taylor Swift on the shelf ??!
Thought the same
Where is the rug from? So lovely xx (only 7 mins in so sorry if it’s mentioned later) xx
If you run some candle wax on the runners of the doors they will open and close more smoothly 😊
this makes me want to sort my kids’ playroom out lol. There are sooooo many toys. I just don’t know what to do with them. No point getting rid of them as I have a 3 month old who will just get them re gifted as she grows up LOL.
I love the wood color. Also the Britney comment killed me haha 😂😂😂
What a beautiful room.
This way, River will enjoy her toys even more. Where are her books? I bet they're in her bedroom :).
All River needs for the costume is a pair of angel wings as she is so angelic
Haha yes - her books are all stored in her bedroom cupboard at the moment... another thing she has SO many off due to having older cousins! ❤️
At 31 years old - I am still so conditioned that the mere mention of a beanie baby tag been pulled off brings me out in a cold sweat 😂🤣
Love it!!!
Thank you for the video!
The beanie babies! I have the same reaction when my daughter plays with mine. My daughter is only about a month older than yours. 😊
Love your videos ❤️
The floral top you’re wearing in this is to die for. Where is it from?!
I think it is a dress, but for sure it is H&M, summer collection, should still be on the website XO
@@karola5 you are my hero thank you so much!
@@madelinefarrell2176 🌻
I love your vlogs! 😁❤
Candle wax rubbed on the runners will help the wardrobe draws run more smoothly
I’m in the middle of decluttering all of my beauty/ makeup and I’m almost regretting even starting 😂
I watched the entire show in one weekend and went on a cleaning and sorting spree that week 🤣
I don't think you should paint the wooden cabinets. They are lovely as they are?

What did that room used to be? Why the sink?
Hi Fleur, Love your channel My birthday tomorrow
I love that you still have your Beanie Babies! I have mine too 😊
I would love to see what Rivers nursery looks like now she's older 😍😍😍
@Paula Alison Cummings.......search back a few weeks and there is a nursery video
@@the_grey_lady OMG how did I miss it. Feel like an idiot. Thank you 😍😍
Acorn soup is a great game for 2/3 year olds!
I have a strange urge to buy some of the old beanie babies now. I just looked on eBay lol
The wooden cabinets are so beautiful! I hope you don’t paint them. Love the rug as well! I think it’s lovely for River to be able to see all your awards and keepsakes.
You seem to have a big house, surely you have another room available for either her playroom or your office. Keep it rustic it beautiful the way it is.

Has this been reuploaded or am i psychic and watched this before?
Hi Fleur!!
My mum keeps saying for me to have my 3 Huge tubs of Beanie Babies at my house for my daughter. No way she will pull the tags off 🤣
I prefer small toys where you can store them away as they grow older. Big toys take up so much space which i always tell my family no big toys. Also prefer essentials things like clothes and things they have use of. I have a kitchen, mini car and a motor bike all from relatives.

Loved the clean up. Need to do the same for my kids. Just a suggestion- You could get some curtains to make it a little more decorative- some ghingam would be lovely and gender neutralS
There’s not really space for curtains the way the windows are designed, they have old fashioned wooden shutters and I wouldn’t want to cover them up!
Unpopular opinion, but if you want to paint the cabinets, then paint the cabinets 😂
Please do not rehab or paint those beautiful cabinets! They are so gorgeous, just update the hardware and put some wood conditioner on them and they will be so nice!
Love that ;-D
This video really makes me realise how little my daughter has. She’s only 21 months but doesn’t have a whole lot. She has a lot of books though 😂
Cracks me up so much with people say 21 months or 22 months etc 🤣🤣 The kid is almost 2 🤣 xx
