You know Luke I’ve learned from experience after having breast cancer and then losing my partner suddenly at aged 45 from an unexpected stroke that you only live once so enjoy your life and go with the flow and follow your heart, i absolutely love watching your videos and it’s nice seeing abit more of Zara x
You can just make a slip cover for your foot stool, then you can take it off to wash or go back to its original cover. Just a thought. Love all that you and Zara do! Take care !
Luke, you look so rested. Before you send back the fabric to Zara’s aunt, consider making pillow covers. It would make a great addition and it would be nice for a change in decor. The garden looks enchanting ❤
Luke i am so happy you and Zara had your trip,that you could fill yourself up with new energy,inspiration from France... And i am also so happy for you that you have this cozy haven,oasis where you can breathe out,relax and just be with a book,a beautiful cup that makes you happy filled with coffee... It really is in the "small" things and moments we are most alive,we appreciate life when we see it from another angle. You two deserve only the best!!!! Warm hugs coming your way and everyone in here
Love the new love seat, it looks fab by the window and doesn't look to big and color blends beautifully with all the other furniture. The garden furniture is also really stylish and comfortable. The fox problem, could potentially be solved by installing cat proofing on your fences and back wall. It is designed to prevent cats from being able to climb and escape their garden it also prevents other cats from coming in. It looks discreet and might just stop the fox invasion! 🦊🐾🌻🌻🌷🪴
I haven’t heard of ‘cat proof’ - I will investigate this as we get several cats in our garden and a) they bother the birds and b) they think we are a public toilet facility!!
@@janiceburgess5906 You can DIY, or have them professionally fitted then they will check the garden thoroughly to make sure that there are no other hidden entry/exit points.

For any unwanted critters, try a motion sensor sprinkler head. Works really well. Really scares the animals but does no real harm to them nor your property.
Your new, huge chair is beautiful Luke. Just perfect for that corner in your Library / reading room, A table with a lamp, your book, ( and coffee) just to the side. ❤I can see that little vignette in my mind !😃😃. I’m so pleased that you and Zara feel refreshed after your holiday.
Hi Luke currently in London (Wandsworth) for a wedding it was not a late night but travelling all day and abit a stress getting to the location took its toll git back to hotel last night and crashed woke this morning 7 30 and my first thought has Lukes vlog landed! YOU make my Sundays!
"You can't pour from an empty cup" Love that. Love shaved Luke. Love the fabric. Love the olive chair. Love the outdoor set. Just a lotta love for this vlog 💕🌸💕
You need a couple of olive green cushions on your couch and if you had some of the stripy fabric left, make a cushion for your new chair. It all looks fab x❤🇮🇪
I think you both needed that holiday as you have been so busy doing marathon, renovating the house and buying home items too. Hope you enjoyed your holiday.
Luke if you put up a fence the foxes will dig under the fence and get in that way. I know they cause problems but they are the most amazing creatures and so intelligent, try to enjoy them. I loved the way that one was jumping about on the cover, they also love to jump on a trampoline too. Lesley, Victoria, BC. Canada.
The new house bits are all lovely. Love the green chair but maybe a little too big for the window 🤔 The poster will look great on that wall. My husband and I didn't go abroad this year, we took 2 weeks off, spent a couple of nights at a spa hotel a few hours drive away, but the 2 weeks off were needed. We're viewing houses as we're trying to move and saving money for that. ❤
My eldest son has a girlfriend up north, he just came home on Sunday after a week there. His job is here so he has to come back home plus he likes his own room 😊. Enjoy going home Luke ❤ xx
Since you asked for input, I would put the two leather armchairs in the bay window with that darling table between them. The new chair is lovely, but too big in scale for the couch and end table. Your furnishings seem traditional and pretty classic, but I would maybe try another fabric on your ottoman?
I was going to suggest the same thing. Put the big chair into the library for cosy reading and the 2 leather chairs into the bay. Makes sense for if you have people round too and at Christmas time for the tree.
Hi Luke. I’m so glad you went your holiday I totally agree we all need a holiday no matter what even if we can’t go abroad it’s so important to get away and have a holiday it does you so much good. Take every chance you can to get away and recharge your batteries. Loving your plate wall. Your garden is looking great too. Love watching your videos. I’m having a binge watching day of watching your videos I’ve missed 😂. Have a lovely day ❤
Love the cuddle chair, I think would be lovely for your reading nook , curled up with one of your books, cosy. I’m sure you’ll find the sot that suits you, you have great style x
Hi Luke, good that you had a wonderful time in France, you certainly needed a well deserved rest, I love France and the slower pace of life, really like your mug, plates and the yellow jug in your lounge, I love the colours you chose, your arm chair is stunning, I think it looks gorgeous in the window. Your garden is looking so pretty and love the new furniture. Much love 😊
Luke, I have been a fan of your channel for a few years now. I love what you do, and look forward to your updates. Home decor is a subjective choice, and I hope I don't get negative comments, as the community that you have created is wonderful. When you covered your reclaimed footstool with your chosen fabric, all I could see was an American State Funeral. A bold colour definitely, but maybe not that fabric. I deeply apologise if this offends you, as that is not my intention. Take care, and keep doing what you do, as you make a lot of people happy s x
The fabric for the footstool brings out the colour in the rug. The garden is looking great, everything is coming together. I love train travel but the cancellations ect are a pain in the wotsit. I'm travelling by train from Liverpool to Holyhead in/on Anglesey a week Fri, I've treated myself to 1st class and I'm really looking forward to it . Enjoy seeing your family. Take care, see you in the next vlog. 😊
Hi Luke love the garden furniture. it looks fab. i like the armchair i think it looks nice in the room. love the plates too. have a great time with family love to you all. xxx
Loving the outdoor furniture and with the heatwave this week I'm sure you'll get great use from it. Think you really need to prioritise getting a shed though to store the cushions.
Take a moment and rethink the red and white stripe to cover the coffee table. Consider leaving the table that is there and just throwing a scarf over the corner or something and a darker in the center.
I love the new armchair. Perhaps see what it's like when the shutters are installed. Either way, it would look beautiful in both rooms. I upholstered my dining room chairs & added a pop of colour. The good thing is you can remove & change it whenever you wish. I think the Audrey Hepburn art is perfect for your home. The colours match perfectly & it was destined to go there. Wow, the garden furniture does have a real holiday vibe with the gorgeous cushion. Those frisky foxes were having a party in your garden. I'd definitely be installing a tall fence barrier. Hope your journey home went smoothly. Thank you for such a fun packed yet therapeutic video. Sundays wouldn't be Sundays without watching you. Love to you, Zara & Maggie ❤x
I personally love the foot stool like it is. And the over sized chair looks fine in the bay window. Id get some green pillows for the sofa to bring the green from the chair over to the sofa. Love the garden. Remember it takes alot of watering in the garden. When you think its enough water...water some more!!
It is good to take a break and relax. Everything is looking great in the house and garden, except the foxes decorating contributions! I am not a summer person and wish we could trade weather. We haven't had rain in ages here in central NY State and it has been hot since June. You would love what we are having! Enjoy your trip home. I hope your train ride isn't too disrupted!
No, I think the love seat is too big,,takes away the look at the window and makes ur sofa look tiny. Think in the other room it would look perfect. The outside furniture is gorgeous. Glad ur break was good. 😍
Hi Luke, glad you had a good break away and a happy birthday. I think the chair fitted quite nicely in the bay window there! The garden corner unit is lovely and suits the garden well. That fox was sure having a fun time, bless him!! They can be quite a problem but can also be lovely to have around. However you will find the RSPCA have a few ideas of detering them naturally and you might find that useful. Onwards & Upwards guys, you have been on a rollercoaster ride for sure but soon things will begin to settle down and into what will become your normal. It's good to see you so happy x
Love the new chair and material for the footstool. New garden furniture looks comfy. Foxes can cause mange in dogs, so that's another reason to try to fox-proof your garden as much as possible.
Dont forget your lavendar is french, and it blooms early so its not dying its just finished blooming. Trim the dead f,ower heads off, give the tips a trim to stop it going woody, and then next year it will be lovely again. Buy some english lavendar if you can, it blooms all summer.
Hi Luke just to let you if you enjoy court of thorns and roses your about to enter a whole series that you will want to read and it’s a big series. Loving your home diy videos.
Love the garden set gorgeous!! Love the sage green love seat Not keen on the barber shop red stripe though I think the ottoman would be better in green maybe ? House is coming together so well We had fox nightmares when we lived in Fulham
If you contact The Fox Project, think they're based in London, they will be able to give you some great advice. Foxes are beautiful but can make a mess 🦊 You're looking great and your garden is really coming along x
We live in the US in a rural area. Charmed at London fox. Not so do I your garden. Hope you can arrange a peaceful coexistence.❤ Re home looks so lovely. .I US a good candidate for our magazine Architectural Digest. . Always shop your home. Move things about with trial and equals ( = )Better $$ decision too. Great visit. PS chair will grow on you😅
Yes, they will poop everywhere, tear cushions, wreak havoc in shed if you leave open, sharpen claws on furniture, get more info and place some wire fence pieces so they can't tunnel and ??? un top of shed roof & fence, as they will climb. Good luck!
@@sarah3136 Not at all. But rural habitat is being lost. Foxes are not supposed to be in urban settings as they have been forced into. Their species grows weaker and less healthy when forced into urban settings for survival. Not good for any species. Cute is not best for ecosystems. Their natural behavior is however destructive to our patios and lawns. And could sicken our pets, if exposed to an ill wild one.
Oh the foxes!! I live in a suburb of Philadelphia and we’ve been here 10 years. We never saw a fox in our neighborhood or our yard. That changed this year! They seem to love our yard! They lay on my plants and are just pesky little things. When I was planting in the spring, I use plastic tags to label my seedlings. Well, apparently our fox did not like the tags and proceeded to take every single tag out! I didn’t know what was what! We have a bird camera and I thought to get a little pot and I just placed about 10 plastic tags in it to see if I could capture him doing it. Sure enough, he came over to the pot and ripped every tag out! I think maybe he’s aware of how bad plastic can be! They left our yard just as summer began. I’m sure they will be back! Lovely arm chair! I could see myself curling up with a warm blanket and looking out the window. Donna
Happy Sunday Luke! The garden looks amazing. Love the lounge set. I like the idea of it but the I think the arm chair is a bit big for that space but honestly if you and Zara think it works and are happy with it that's all that matters☺️ have a great rest of the day!
We don't go away on holiday now as we have a very needy dog but I think it does you good to have a break and you always appreciate your home when you get back
Looking so well Luke you clearly needed that holiday 😎 Olive armchair does look a little oversized against the sofa, think I would be tempted to replace the sofa to match the chair, but appreciate how expensive that would be !
Love the new olive chair, not a fan of the striped material for the footstool, it doesn't really go with the room, yours and Zara's garden is looking beautiful. On the topic of taking a holiday, they are important for re-setting your soul i think, love your vloggs x
You look very rested Luke and I like the clean shaven look. It’s important for your health and wellbeing to take time out. You work so,hard and life is so short. I lost my husband 2 years ago so live and love life. Loved the Dunelm set. The chair does look a bit big, only my opinion though. 😊 ❤
Howdy Luke & Zara!! Audrey Hepburn is so timelessly classic!! "Breakfast at Tiffany's" is a cult classic!! Audrey, George Peppard, & Telly Savolis are perfect in that movie! Big bear hugs from Kenny in Ohio, USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🤩😘
I have been reading Sarah J Maas for a decade or more . I have read all her books and loved them, but then I do enjoy the genre very much. I always envy people who are just starting out on a great author because you have such much good reading to come. 😀 I love the new chair, too.
Love the Audrey picture will look lovely in a smart black frame 💜 and the new outdoor furniture is lovely, those naughty foxes love to play 💜 I live in the country side and they are a nightmare 💜 you can get intruder alarms, however they might upset Maggie 💜
The new material, will look stunning, you could complement it, with changing the lampshades on the lamps to a close match colour, Wich will add so much cosy warmth, along with your beige furniture, on the long Winter evenings, which will come quicker than you think, the way time flies, I live in Spain, and we feel, that we didn't get an autumn or winter last year, but when I visit in February's,, I get a taste of it, loved your holiday in France, in actual fact, I love all your blogs,you and Zara could be sitting cross legged, watching your paint dry, and it would still be fun to watch 😂😂
Hi Luke welcome back to the Uk . What a lovely colour tan you got in France. The yellow pot you got there for the living room looks really nice where you have placed it next to the gold frame of Maggies poor print as well. The Audrey Hepburn poster would more classy in a gold frame I think instead of a black . Why didn’t you get a burgundy colour one as it wouldn’t have looked so big ? The sofa in the garden looks great and your bay tree looks nice next to it also. Loved this chilled vlog . Have a great time .
Hi Luke so pleased you and Zara had a relaxing holiday. The material you have chosen for the foot stool is not in keeping with the rest of the pattens you have in the room. You have enough going on with the chushion covers why and another patten. a plain fabric to match your lovely new chair woul,d go beautifully. the one material you have is more for a deck chair and would suit the outdoors better. But thats just My view. Please get a new shed your next door neighbours one looks good. looking forward to seeing Maggie when you bring her home. 🐈⬛
I really like your gorgeous chair. Also, the backyard with the new lounge set is beautiful. The foxes er, I have an issue with neighbors letting their dogs use my front yard for the bathroom. I had to resort to buying spray with liquid pepper. To keep them out. It is painful but better than stepping into a mess. I ordered online from a big box store like Home Depot/Lowes. That may work as well.
Greetings from Plymouth ❤️ Love the chair and the fabric is fabulous ❤ new to ur channel found you via Mr Carrington, looking forward to watching more x
Hi luke great vlog as always love catching up with you on a Sunday, love the new fabric on 4 the footstool lovely pop of colour & love the garden lounge set, that's a real pain after all urhard work making the garden look beautiful 4 the foxes to come in & destroy it 😢 have a lovely weekend take care lots of love to u zara & Maggie 💞💞💞
Its all looking great Luke. Living in the country also has it's trials with wildlife but I have never had a fox I absolutely love them but not in the garden. My wost enemies are the pigeon colony that love to munch on pretty much anything flower or veg lol.
Solar powered ultrasound animal repellent and deterrent. Can be pricey. Definitely a pack of 3 or more. You can go on a website to find out how many. We are country folks. Trust me they do work. The other choice can be a fence spray. Not sure how it works. Some friends have used it. Works but don't know how it effects plants. Hope this helps!! Fence is a great idea, but they can climb them. Little buggers are quite resilient. Have a Great Day!!!
Luke love the new armchair but if you move it to your other room I’ve just found a chair on the dunelm site called petite Folkestone stripe think it would go lovely with the new fabric on the footstool xxxx Hope the train journey was ok xxx love to all the family x
Love love love the love seat 😂 fits lovely in the bay window but feel it makes your sofa look too small and low. However it’s the perfect chair to snuggle up in, in the library to read. The outdoor set is fab ❤
Life can go so fast, Luke.....enjoy the trips...times....when you can. I am going again to Kenya this Fall.....to see my fostered elephants from the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust and also 5 days/nights in the Masai Mara....thank you for this beautiful vlog x
Love your new furniture & yes the Audrey Hepburn print would look great there. I’ve recently started reading Lisa Jewell books ( some charity shop & library finds) based on your recommendation. Thanks!
You know Luke I’ve learned from experience after having breast cancer and then losing my partner suddenly at aged 45 from an unexpected stroke that you only live once so enjoy your life and go with the flow and follow your heart, i absolutely love watching your videos and it’s nice seeing abit more of Zara x
Breast cancer club here! We only have one life so live it! ❤
Here also, also lost my lovely mum to bc❤@@cheryltom
Absolutely 💯
My prayers and love to you guys , may you enjoy a great adventure from here on ❤
You can just make a slip cover for your foot stool, then you can take it off to wash or go back to its original cover. Just a thought. Love all that you and Zara do! Take care !
Luke, you look so rested. Before you send back the fabric to Zara’s aunt, consider making pillow covers. It would make a great addition and it would be nice for a change in decor.
The garden looks enchanting ❤
Luke i am so happy you and Zara had your trip,that you could fill yourself up with new energy,inspiration from France... And i am also so happy for you that you have this cozy haven,oasis where you can breathe out,relax and just be with a book,a beautiful cup that makes you happy filled with coffee... It really is in the "small" things and moments we are most alive,we appreciate life when we see it from another angle. You two deserve only the best!!!! Warm hugs coming your way and everyone in here

The armchair looks great in the bay of your living room, and the colour fits in nicely with your settee
Things at your home is sure coming together. Love the progress!
Luke we like the new chair in the window. Also like the color. The garden looks nice. 👍👍❤
Hi Luke I actually love the chair where it is it’s made the room look so Cosy and e lovely colour 👌thanks for the vlog.
Lotsa love x x

Or maybe use a drawstring and just use the RW stripe seasonally???

So pleased to see you had some time away from the house. The sun and good food was what you both needed.
So lovely to see you refreshed Luke. Hope you had a great time with your family

Well deserved break was needed for you both❤❤❤glad you enjoyed ❤❤❤❤happy Sunday guys❤❤
Try laying the striped fabric the other direction on the footstool. Visually it may be more interesting.
The garden looks lovely
The chair looks lovely in the little nook. Near the window. Outside sofas nice too. Plants pretty.

We have a bird camera and I thought to get a little pot and I just placed about 10 plastic tags in it to see if I could capture him doing it. Sure enough, he came over to the pot and ripped every tag out!
I think maybe he’s aware of how bad plastic can be!
They left our yard just as summer began. I’m sure they will be back!
Lovely arm chair! I could see myself curling up with a warm blanket and looking out the window.

Happy Sunday Luke! The garden looks amazing. Love the lounge set. I like the idea of it but the I think the arm chair is a bit big for that space but honestly if you and Zara think it works and are happy with it that's all that matters☺️ have a great rest of the day!
Love the gardening element, it's looking lovely.
Everyone needs an occasional break and it's lovely to come home to the house you love 😊❤
❤❤❤
So glad you enjoyed your trip. I love the new chair, i think it looks really nice there. 😊🇨🇦
We don't go away on holiday now as we have a very needy dog but I think it does you good to have a break and you always appreciate your home when you get back
Looking so well Luke you clearly needed that holiday 😎 Olive armchair does look a little oversized against the sofa, think I would be tempted to replace the sofa to match the chair, but appreciate how expensive that would be !
Love the new olive chair, not a fan of the striped material for the footstool, it doesn't really go with the room, yours and Zara's garden is looking beautiful. On the topic of taking a holiday, they are important for re-setting your soul i think, love your vloggs x
You look very rested Luke and I like the clean shaven look.
It’s important for your health and wellbeing to take time out. You work so,hard and life is so short. I lost my husband 2 years ago so live and love life.
Loved the Dunelm set. The chair does look a bit big, only my opinion though. 😊 ❤
Howdy Luke & Zara!! Audrey Hepburn is so timelessly classic!! "Breakfast at Tiffany's" is a cult classic!! Audrey, George Peppard, & Telly Savolis are perfect in that movie! Big bear hugs from Kenny in Ohio, USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🤩😘
I have been reading Sarah J Maas for a decade or more . I have read all her books and loved them, but then I do enjoy the genre very much. I always envy people who are just starting out on a great author because you have such much good reading to come. 😀 I love the new chair, too.
Love the Audrey picture will look lovely in a smart black frame 💜 and the new outdoor furniture is lovely, those naughty foxes love to play 💜 I live in the country side and they are a nightmare 💜 you can get intruder alarms, however they might upset Maggie 💜
You could use the material to cover a piano stool or a cushion 🌺
I love the armchair in that corner ,it looks perfect ,it fits so well
The new material, will look stunning, you could complement it, with changing the lampshades on the lamps to a close match colour, Wich will add so much cosy warmth, along with your beige furniture, on the long Winter evenings, which will come quicker than you think, the way time flies, I live in Spain, and we feel, that we didn't get an autumn or winter last year, but when I visit in February's,, I get a taste of it, loved your holiday in France, in actual fact, I love all your blogs,you and Zara could be sitting cross legged, watching your paint dry, and it would still be fun to watch 😂😂
Hi Luke welcome back to the Uk . What a lovely colour tan you got in France. The yellow pot you got there for the living room looks really nice where you have placed it next to the gold frame of Maggies poor print as well.
The Audrey Hepburn poster would more classy in a gold frame I think instead of a black . Why didn’t you get a burgundy colour one as it wouldn’t have looked so big ? The sofa in the garden looks great and your bay tree looks nice next to it also. Loved this chilled vlog . Have a great time .
Hi Luke so pleased you and Zara had a relaxing holiday. The material you have chosen for the foot stool is not in keeping with the rest of the pattens you have in the room. You have enough going on with the chushion covers why and another patten.
a plain fabric to match your lovely new chair woul,d go beautifully. the one material you have is more for a deck chair and would suit the outdoors better. But thats just My view. Please get a new shed your next door neighbours one looks good.
looking forward to seeing Maggie when you bring her home.

Try leather chairs in bay and love seat in library….oooowwweeee garden seating is gorgeous!!!!!
I love the chair. Don't move it
Garden is looking amazing. Foxes were playing awww but I know they ruin your flowers ❤❤❤❤❤😊😊
Luke I think Audrey would look great on that wall, the colours complement the recent painting you’ve both done.
I really like your gorgeous chair. Also, the backyard with the new lounge set is beautiful. The foxes er, I have an issue with neighbors letting their dogs use my front yard for the bathroom. I had to resort to buying spray with liquid pepper. To keep them out. It is painful but better than stepping into a mess. I ordered online from a big box store like Home Depot/Lowes. That may work as well.
Greetings from Plymouth ❤️ Love the chair and the fabric is fabulous ❤ new to ur channel found you via Mr Carrington, looking forward to watching more x
Oh love the Audrey poster, her mum being Dutch, ( a baroness), her dad British, she was so beautiful inside and out!
Hi luke great vlog as always love catching up with you on a Sunday, love the new fabric on 4 the footstool lovely pop of colour & love the garden lounge set, that's a real pain after all urhard work making the garden look beautiful 4 the foxes to come in & destroy it 😢 have a lovely weekend take care lots of love to u zara & Maggie 💞💞💞
Its all looking great Luke.
Living in the country also has it's trials with wildlife but I have never had a fox I absolutely love them but not in the garden. My wost enemies are the pigeon colony that love to munch on pretty much anything flower or veg lol.
The chair looks lovely Luke! Really cosy! 😊
Definitely put Audrey up it makes the wall
Happy Birthday 🥳 for last week .
Solar powered ultrasound animal repellent and deterrent. Can be pricey. Definitely a pack of 3 or more. You can go on a website to find out how many. We are country folks. Trust me they do work. The other choice can be a fence spray. Not sure how it works. Some friends have used it. Works but don't know how it effects plants. Hope this helps!! Fence is a great idea, but they can climb them. Little buggers are quite resilient. Have a Great Day!!!
I adore the new chair….its perfect for the space ❤❤
Luke love the new armchair but if you move it to your other room I’ve just found a chair on the dunelm site called petite Folkestone stripe think it would go lovely with the new fabric on the footstool xxxx Hope the train journey was ok xxx love to all the family x
You are looking so handsome and healthy Luke! Zara gorgeous as always! You guys sure know how to live life🌟 cheers from Oz 🦘
Love love love the love seat 😂 fits lovely in the bay window but feel it makes your sofa look too small and low. However it’s the perfect chair to snuggle up in, in the library to read. The outdoor set is fab ❤
Life can go so fast, Luke.....enjoy the trips...times....when you can. I am going again to Kenya this Fall.....to see my fostered elephants from the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust and also 5 days/nights in the Masai Mara....thank you for this beautiful vlog x
Love sunday mornings love watching your vlogs x❤
Love your new furniture & yes the Audrey Hepburn print would look great there.
I’ve recently started reading Lisa Jewell books ( some charity shop & library finds) based on your recommendation. Thanks!
Love the new chair. ❤
