You completely honored the area and the aesthetic. ❤ Just because something isn’t necessarily your taste doesn’t mean it’s not beautiful. 😉 I think you really upgraded amazingly well. The front door and porch looks amazing! 🤩 The up lights will look incredible at night. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🥰 Imagine it all bloomed and with the holiday decor. 🤩
There are many who don’t judge, don’t comment, and just simply enjoy your lovely vlogs and the effort you put into them. So thank you. I personally enjoy and find them relaxing with a brew ☕️ x
I enjoy your videos. But I do have a question for you. Why let the cats out to run loose when you would never let your dogs go off like that. No difference except cultural with some people anyway. So called indoor/ outdoor cats have an average lifespan of 4 years vs. 17 for those kept indoors. I won’t even mention all the damage the do to wildlife. There is lots of information on this on line.
You may have already decided on lights, but I think upward-facing lighting would be absolutely gorgeous - such a warm glow on the red brick. A couple of homes on my street have them and they make the house look stunning at night. I LOVE your new planters, very organic and tasteful.
Thanks so much for the mention Lydia, we are still going strong but have just been making a few changes behind the scenes 😘. So excited to see you mention our products and thank you again. ❤️
The sun was shining today ( for the first time in what feels like forever), I went for a run after my workday and am now cuddled up on the sofa to watch your video. A perfect start to the week if you ask me. 🌱👌🏻🤍
Hi Lydia, where do you get your glass straws and glasses from (the ones you used for your smoothie) and your spray bottles you used for your personal cleaning? Thank you so much x
This is a legit question. When going on walks through the mud why do you wear leather boots and not a pair of Wellies? I am sure you have your reason but I can't fathom it. I love being able to come home and hose my boots. I too love cemeteries. I have my whole life and remember being about three and begging my parents to turn into one so that I could see it. They didn't but I can see it to this day.
Another fun video, but have to say, I got quite a laugh when you “mused” about American’s alcohol consumption. I feel it my duty to gently “remind” you that California (where I live), Oregon, Washington State, Upstate New York are famous for producing the highest quality (recommend you watch the movie Bottle Shock) award winning wines. So most definitely, YES, we drink wine just for the hell of it! 😂😂😂😂
Has he got that leaf blower out!.....has he got that leaf blower out!!..😂😅 Ali makes me laugh he really loves it sooooo funny?...you two are hilarious 😊
Love the work you have done to the front of your house, just beautiful. I discovered Holland Cooper last year. I have treated myself to around 5 items & I love love love every purchase. Wish they gave you a nice discount code ha ha ha. Love Eileen x❤
That would be great 👍 I’d be up for that , I’ve got a long list of things still to buy don’t think I’ll ever stop, it’s what to do with the beautiful green boxes they are loving put it ? So happy they made a smaller brolly on its way as we speak , the large one just sits in the car boot x ❤
Please, would you be so kind as to share where you got your custom made stickers from? I don't know if you or your team give replies to any of the comments, but I do hope you do to this one.
You and Ali are so refreshing to watch. No interrupting eachother, having a few laughs and enjoying quality time. I admire your relationship! Ali's just so sweet. I also love and appreciate you saying 'this will go on my gratitude list this evening' 29:30
In America, we love a bottle of wine for all occasions and spur of the moment, also, Love everything you have done to your house. I've watched you for years, and have loved to see how beautifully you have changed over the years. Yes, loved your book. It shows perfectly your growth.
I’m American, and I think I speak for a great many of us when I say that any time is a good time for a bottle of wine! It’s Wednesday? Ok, time for a bottle of wine! Lol. I feel the same way about champagne. Why wait for a special occasion. Cheers. 🍷🥂
California here…bottle of red, white, rose, and Champagne…yes! Oh, and Champagne isn’t just for celebrations. It’s great with roasted and grilled meats and fish, warm or cold. I also drink beer. 😁 Check it out, but I think more nutrients are obtained from cooked spinach. But, something is better than nothing. Sometimes relaxing into things, and gradually making adjustments without feeling too critical is a good idea as well.
Front looks smashing, however, you might consider putting some molding/framing around the bottom of the 4 post on the front porch to give a more finished look. Enjoyed the reveal ~
I loved everything about this video… giving all the inspiration. Thank you for sharing your joy in home making. A skeptic would see the monotony…. But finding joy in the daily tasks is grace. True, beautiful and good. P.s. I like the small frames 😂
Feeling cold when living healthier can mean you now have less inflammation, as most ppl have a constant low grade fever. So you can sip hot water all day. You can also focus on building more muscle which will keep you warmer
I've been dying to know what is that green garland looking plant thing that you have over your stovetop area? I absolutely love it and would love to know more about it, I don't know if I missed you introducing it ages ago, I noticed it a while back but don't remember if you talked about it. I also saw the same thing at the Hello Petal place when you had your flower arranging class.
Make sure to CHEW your smoothies, juices, elixirs, b/c when we chew it secretes enzymes. Whereas when we gulp back a smoothie without CHEWING it, we then aren’t able to absorb the nutrients as well b/c there’s lack of enzymes to do so. As we age we drastically lose enzymes. Which is why I don’t recount smoothies. Less is more is better when it comes to absorption
Thank you for sharing this spring feel and vibes. Always love watching you girl. Love how you show every moment of your life. The reveal from the front o the house I love. Looking forward to the next one ❤❤❤😊
Lydia, I must tell you, after watching this video, I ordered (8) Holland Cooper items! Fleece slippers, (3) gilets, belts, Seattle cable crews, etc! I adore their styles, BUT will say, I don’t care for the big branding all over everything they’re doing. I feel it really cheapens their look. Subtlety always wins. Anyhoo… can’t wait to receive everything (in the US!). Thanks for allowing me to discover Holland Cooper!!
Gorgeous home Lydia, i think your porch is stunning, cannot beat david austin roses, i got one in memory and my dad and one in memory of my mum who i recently lost, they both adored roses as do i, and they are budding allready, your guest room is gorgeous too xx
I would strongly recommend putting the roses in the borders as it will look cleaner and they will be more resilient to drying out etc. Love all your changes with the front porch and borders.
What a transformation! Such a delightful front & so much nicer than the early moving in days.In every way from furniture to Art to clothes and food. Inspiration from surrounding houses is a great way.Absolutely love your taste much more now. You & Ali are amazing together.
Lydia since you’re feeling colder it could be due to low iron levels. Check with your doctor and try to eat more iron rich foods or just take a iron supplement ❤
InnAmerica we absolutely love a bottle of wine for almost anything- TV programs do not depict life in America - they are quite different than reality- Salute 🍷🍷
Although you can grow roses in containers..I'm not sure that milk churns will be large enough..the roses can grow across from the beds to the porch...maybe keep the churns for seasonal annuals...dont forget the roses will not look great all year..🤷♀️
I think this is a much better idea as the roses would be better in the planter beds than in the containers as they need to have room for roots. The containers could have evergreen topiaries or seasonal flowers which could tie in with the "Evergreen" seasons.
The front of your home is looking wonderful with the new materials installed! When all the plant life catches up it will be spectacular! I always like the look of uplights in and amongst the landscaping. Keeping my fingers crossed for your wisteria! I think they can be quite hardy, so hoping for the best! 🤞🏻🙏🏻🤞🏻 I’m looking forward to your guest bathroom reno. I agree 100% that the last thing you want to see when you open up the door is the toilet. 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤨 However, as if often the case with smaller bathrooms, even if you switch the sink and toilet, the toilet will still be in view. I don’t know if the cost of rerouting the plumbing and sewer would be worth it to me... but in America it is absolutely extortionate. Perhaps it is more reasonably priced in England! Or maybe just keep the lid closed to change the view a bit... plus it’s better Feng Shui, so your wealth doesn’t go down the drain, if you are into that sort of thing. I’m sure you’ve thought about the switch will also be creating a toilet paper placement challenge. I’m not familiar with toilet paper holders that affix to shower doors but perhaps you’ve already solved that placement issue. So much to think about in a renovation but all the decision making and stress of getting things timed will all be worth it in the end when it looks great! Thanks for sharing all the laughter and fun you and Ali have on the regular! It’s enjoyed and contagious... which is absolutely brilliant in my eyes! I always enjoy a good ol’ giggle! 😆😂🥰 Thanks for another enjoyable vlog! 😍🥰😘
I was so stoked when I saw you posted a vlog today Lydia! My daughter gets equally excited to watch you 🌱🪴🌷, Ali 🐝the boys 🌭🐾🌭🐾, Lumi 🐈and the girls 🐓. 💖
I love the porch and entrance way, so excited to see someone as passionate about David Austin roses as I am. I have Strawberry Hill climbers outside my back door, they bloom beautifully and smell delicious. Fingers crossed for the Wisteria, that when in bloom looks magical.
Lyd my love, I ADORED seeing your mood boards for the office and you are a natural at pairing colors and selecting designs. Can't wait to see it all come together!
lysdia ce pantalon h&m est affreux, il fait des plis, il est trop grand sur vos jambes, il vous fait des gosses fesses qui pendent... bref c'est à l'opposé de ce que vous proposez d'habitude. il est affreux. il est de mauvaise qualité et cela se voit.

Awww, I loved the walk through the graveyard, Lydia, thank you 😊
Looks so much nicer. Well done, really beautiful Lydia!
Thank you! 😊
Cannot wait to see more of your designs come to life!
Lydia the front of the house looks amazing! Love the rustic wood on either side too! ❤
Lydia you inspired a bedroom makeover that starts next week ❤ panelling and paper simple florals mainly off white (timeless) and hints of green ♥️
15:40 Absolutely perfect!
We love your tubes and Al’s tubes . And it’s the only UA-cam’s my hubby will watch . And you guys do make us laugh 🤪😁
The front entry is looking mighty sharp! I must say the picture would look wonderful anyway great eye for photos.
As always, looking forward to my Monday dose of Lyds to start my week off right ! 🤍🌸
Food combining is an interest topic when it comes to nutrition. It really helped me absorbed nutrients better.
I Love It All! Beautiful You, Beautiful Home! Love All Your Fashion Choices, Too! ❤️🥰
The sun was shining today ( for the first time in what feels like forever), I went for a run after my workday and am now cuddled up on the sofa to watch your video. A perfect start to the week if you ask me. 🌱👌🏻🤍
Porch looks gorgeous!😊
You have wall space in the kitchen to make a bigger pantry. You just need to add floor to ceiling cabinets going down the wall.
Hi Lydia, where do you get your glass straws and glasses from (the ones you used for your smoothie) and your spray bottles you used for your personal cleaning? Thank you so much x
Homebargins. Dunelm. Amazon. You dnt need to spend a fortune
Such a relaxing watch, as always. Does anyone know what app Lydia uses to design her rooms? Or is it a cut and paste type thingy? Thank you 🙂
Do you like your Oura ring ? Do you think it is worth it ?

What brands have you found that do not have plastic?
My husband do enjoy wine whenever we feel like it here in America ❤
Do you make your own peanut butter?
Seing the best here reminds ne of Alis grandad when he helped in the garden🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾
Ally is so funny! 😂
I came here after reading your thread on Tattle
Ali did not say that 😂😂😂😂😂😂 so so funny!
Please, would you be so kind as to share where you got your custom made stickers from? I don't know if you or your team give replies to any of the comments, but I do hope you do to this one.
Lydia do you have a really fast metabolism? X
First 👍🏽! Too funny “Vaseline “!!
How often do your hens lay eggs?
Every day xx
Going from impulse purchasing clothes and accessories to plants and home/garden stuff is so real. We're getting old lydia :D
Lydia versus salad 😂😂
😏
My sister makes bespoke luxury wreaths, can she send you one please? X
Im just curious lol....if you want to move to a new house, why decorate and renovate? I hope I dont sound mean, Im just curious ....tyyy
Because I enjoy it I love bringing a room to life x
Good for you💫
I absolutely love that she doesn’t cut out Ali’s humor. Makes them so much more real, authentic and just hilarious!

The front of your home is absolutely lovely. All the texture of different bricks, stone is perfect! Congrats!
I think the house looks beautiful. I love seeing you make all the changes to it with so much care and taste.
I’m American, and I think I speak for a great many of us when I say that any time is a good time for a bottle of wine! It’s Wednesday? Ok, time for a bottle of wine! Lol. I feel the same way about champagne. Why wait for a special occasion. Cheers. 🍷🥂
I think most Americans wait til the weekend But may over do it a little then...😂 those years in my youth!
California here…bottle of red, white, rose, and Champagne…yes! Oh, and Champagne isn’t just for celebrations. It’s great with roasted and grilled meats and fish, warm or cold. I also drink beer. 😁
Check it out, but I think more nutrients are obtained from cooked spinach. But, something is better than nothing. Sometimes relaxing into things, and gradually making adjustments without feeling too critical is a good idea as well.
Sautéed spinach tripples the potassium and cooks out the unwanted oxalates..❤❤
A beautiful “Rustic Modern” home!!! Absolutely well done. 👏🏻
The wisteria won’t mind a root cut at all, if there are still a couple good ones left.
Thank goodness 🤍
Front looks smashing, however, you might consider putting some molding/framing around the bottom of the 4 post on the front porch to give a more finished look. Enjoyed the reveal ~
Put the roses in the borders and train them towards the wood pillars
Walk my dog everyday in a graveyard, the most peaceful part of my day, I love it ❤
I saw that you posted a new video and my day was immediately made! I love love loveeee your videos, Lydia! Always puts a smile on my face.
I love when you talk house and get excited about the plants 🤩
I loved everything about this video… giving all the inspiration. Thank you for sharing your joy in home making. A skeptic would see the monotony…. But finding joy in the daily tasks is grace. True, beautiful and good. P.s. I like the small frames 😂
The pictures are too small and would look better running down rather than across and other pictures added in.
Definitely 😊
Feeling cold when living healthier can mean you now have less inflammation, as most ppl have a constant low grade fever. So you can sip hot water all day. You can also focus on building more muscle which will keep you warmer
Wow fascinating 😨
You’ll only get a limit rose growth in a milk churn. The Roos will be cramped and will exhale the goodness from the soil in there
Need to know what that beautiful bedroom wallpaper is in your guest room 😍
Those jeans really don't fit you

Pretty sure it’s Hops.
Gemma from Hello Petal installed it just before Xmas I think 🌸
@@rexysmum like an artificial plant or is it real somehow and still living? Or maybe dried?

Everything you have added, inside and out, has been absolutely gorgeous! I just love love love everything you have created!!!
Make sure ur roses have enough room in milk tubs 4 their roots ,as they need 2 spread out
American here…we can find any time for a bottle of wine! 😂❤
Phew 😂
Gorgeous home Lydia, i think your porch is stunning, cannot beat david austin roses, i got one in memory and my dad and one in memory of my mum who i recently lost, they both adored roses as do i, and they are budding allready, your guest room is gorgeous too xx
My deepest condolences, may they rest in peace. Sending you lots hugs and love Xx
@@proudmganda1159 Thankyou that is so kind, lost my mum exactly one year after my dad, xx
Sorry for your loss. I hope you are finding some peace through it. 💙
@@Sarasstorytime22 Thankyou that is so kind xx
I wish Holland Cooper would open a store in the USA please 🙏
In American, we love a bottle of wine for any reason, cooking, cleaning, friends over etc.
You must be so proud! love the colors you've selected for your home! adorable xx
I would strongly recommend putting the roses in the borders as it will look cleaner and they will be more resilient to drying out etc. Love all your changes with the front porch and borders.

You & Ali are amazing together.
Think you need an outdoor dog shower 😸 you’re welcome
The new addition of cotswold stone walls and porch looks fabulous. I wonder if there's any way to blend the red brick in with it though?
Lydia since you’re feeling colder it could be due to low iron levels. Check with your doctor and try to eat more iron rich foods or just take a iron supplement ❤
Have a lot to say, but won’t. Do you plan to buy king size bed pillows for the guest room?
That Sunday roast looks delicious! 😋😋😋

congratulations on one million subscribers
The perfect Monday evening when Lydia uploads 🥰🫶🏼
Make sure it’s proper Greek yoghurt and not Greek STYLE yoghurt. Look it up xx
The floral painting is perfect against the wall color ❤
I was so stoked when I saw you posted a vlog today Lydia!
My daughter gets equally excited to watch you 🌱🪴🌷, Ali 🐝the boys 🌭🐾🌭🐾, Lumi 🐈and the girls 🐓.

Outside of your house looks great. They have done a top job. I don’t think the red brick looks too bad. If it’s still got roots it will grow. 👍❤️👍
House looks lovely but with creeping plants becareful they dnt damage ur guttering and brick work. Roots and branches can cause lots off damage
I love the porch and entrance way, so excited to see someone as passionate about David Austin roses as I am. I have Strawberry Hill climbers outside my back door, they bloom beautifully and smell delicious. Fingers crossed for the Wisteria, that when in bloom looks magical.
How about painting your drain pipes the same as windows ❤❤❤
Just a suggestion. But on the headboard. How about adding upholstery nail studs?
Nice choice on the Edward Bulmer paint! They are local to me and part of the blumers cider family 😊
Can’t wait to see the finished project.
Would you be willing to share Ali's Yorkshire Pudding recipe?
Does anyone know where Lydia’s double pearl earrings are from? Xx
Lyd my love, I ADORED seeing your mood boards for the office and you are a natural at pairing colors and selecting designs. Can't wait to see it all come together!
Which part of England is this? Your house and gardens are so beautiful by the way.
Why does that church look like the one featured in downton abbey where Mary finally talks to what’s his name
