I love your vinyl unit! However I think it would look better on the wall where your shelves were, and then your vinyl wall behind it so it’s like a cosy music nook, rather than having it that way as the fireplace and shelves are on the same wall and looks a bit cluttered? Just a thought 😊
Lovin the unit you got for your records, i'd spin that round and put it in that alcove, make it a music corner, put the records up the wall round there. Thanks for the vid much needed today. sending lots of love and wishing you and yours good health x
I was thinking the same thing and maybe a tall mirror next to the fire place or a bar cart?? Your vlogs are some of my favourite things to watch Lucy! xx
What a sweet little life you and Adam are building. Stitch yourselves in 10 years, and 20, and so on. Taller plants, veggies in the garden, changing rugs. A lovely vignette.
I would suggest making the space into a music/reading nook, perhaps by adding a small area rug to section off the space, some sort of chair or even just big cushions on the floor in the corner opposite the vinyl unit to sit and read, with a floor lamp or wall sconce above, and a couple of shelves running along the two empty walls for books and knick-knacks :) I love your channel Lucy and your vlogs are so cozy, fun and relatable - they are honestly my go-to when I am feeling down! X
An idea for the living room nook could be to move the vinyl unit into the little nook (having it facing into the living room) with the plant next to it in either corner (whichever one works best) and have the vinyl shelves as a mini print wall (that you can always swap out with whichever ones you like the most, that week/month). Then in front of that (where the cabinet is currently) you could get like a small armchair and decorate it with a throw, possibly? Not too sure how big the space is. As for the white space above that wall, you could maybe do a custom neon sign or something fun like that? I think it would fit into the retro 70's vibe you're going for :) All just a suggestion, can't wait to see what you do with the space!
These vlogs are absolutely an escape. I don't care what you guys are doing..it's always entertaining and feels like hanging out with a friend and her beau. Thank you.
Timing impeccable! I am so tired and stressed and you bring a little bit of sunshine into my life when its gloomy. Love how normal and real you are. So grateful for this !! Its like a chat with an old friend which is badly needed atm ❤
These are literally my favourite kind of vlogs. I know you think you’re dead boring, but you guys are actually super entertaining. Thank you for staying on your youtube game throughout lockdown, Lucy 😊
you couldn't have uploaded at a better time! i am extremely stressed so i'm grateful that you can take my mind off things for a little while. hope you're all well and safe
The power washing was so satisfying, I power washed our rug & patio yesterday lol couldn't believe the difference, they both come up like new, I love the sideboard with the record player on it 😍👌 your bit of wall you could do a photo collage so people dont notice it till they actually get over near the record player,
I’m living for your videos! Always been a fan but during this madness they have been keeping me sane and helping take my mind off this whole ordeal. So thankyou Lucy for being such a relatable and cheerful influence on my life 😌
I hope this home update will go in for a while, enjoy it way too much to stop now 😊 if you're looking for suggestions I would get rid of the flower bed on the right after season is over and put grass over it, garden will look less cramped and open up more. You can then add more greenery by putting a trellis next to the fance and hang plant pots on it, that way you gain space but don't loose the greenery 💚💚💚
I so rarely comment on UA-cam videos but I just wanted to say thank you for these little 20 min vlogs of homey joy at the moment Lucy. Your videos are such a cosy ‘pick me up’ during this lockdown and I always look forward to you uploading! P.s. I’ve been living the non-microwave life for 4 years now and honestly, I don’t see the point of them anymore 😂 welcome to the club!
Like everyone else is saying, that corner would be really cute with an antique-like mirror! I've seen a lot of people order antiques from Facebook Marketplace for cheap and paint them the way they like. OR it could be a cozy reading nook with a little bean bag/puff in the corner with some art/hanging plants!
The slabs look amazing! I don't know if anyone has suggested this but it's a good idea to fill in the gaps between your patio slabs with sand or something similar to stop them moving and to discourage weeds from growing in between them :)
Ooh, what a nice little vinyl corner! Personally, I think I'd put up some shelves on the wall to maybe put books? That would make for a lovely "hobby" display. Or maybe booze or mugs or something? Also really like the idea of a mirror there that some people suggested though.
Thanks for this lovely video, Lucy. My mum's been feeling very down at not seeing anyone (she's really social) and not having much to do, and after seeing how much you liked them, I'm going to get her a couple of the sewing kits - and maybe some for me too! She's always enjoyed sewing, but more doing clothes on a machine. Now she can try something a bit different and have a lovely bit of art at the end of it. All the best and thanks again x
Yes! I found Sew Botanical on Etsy back in February and bought my first embroidery kit from them. Still working on it as I’ve actually been super busy the past few months (and I’m not great at sewing) but they were such a pleasure to purchase from and I’ll def be looking at their shop for my next embroidery project!
That little corner could be a reading nook with a comfy chair or maybe a little shelf tuck in the corner! Also your backyard had the nicest transformation this quarantine :) Thank you for these vlogs, absolutely love them
Thanks for being you , this has been awesome, you really have no idea how special you really are. Please pick up the camera and film because you have a gift x plus the addition of comedy yes your natural humour is spot on as well. I guess you could say I'm a fan 🤗 Stay safe stay well xx Take care everyone 😉
Perhaps a weird comment but in this vlog I was really struck by how beautiful you are?! On the outside as well as on the inside - you have a wonderful sunshiney pretty face and your eyelashes are incredible.
i’ve been loving your vlogs even more lately, especially this one. little bit of home inspo, some great food content, laughs, FLO!!!! also when adam said he was feeling confident and then the corn caught fire i started crying i was laughing so hard lol. what’s not to love. hope you and adam are keeping well 💛
We are microwave less too as the one we had broke and whilst looking for a replacement we realized we didn't miss it. Been almost 2 years now and don't regret not replacing it. Just have to be careful when you buy pre made tray meals as most are mricrowaveable. Has encouraged us to eat fresh more xx
Love your garden, it’s gorgeous! I love a traditional lawn and borders garden that hasn’t been gravelled/decked over- it’s so pretty and you have some lovely plants x
I found the pains bad with my period too this month! Me and my sister reckon it is because there is less to distract us than, normal so it seems worse than it would be other months. Keep up the amazing vlogs, you are doing great and every one is like a catch up with an old friend xx
Adams JML voice is scarily accurate hahahaha 😂😂😂 The patio looks amazing and using the jet wash looked so much fun. Wish I could jet wash my minging tiles indoors 😅 Do you have a painting of Flo on your old shelf? 😯
A mirror like others have suggested or a medium sized tapestry would look good on that wall by the record storage! A tapestry would really break up all the glass and sharp corners of the frames and records and bring a softer touch into that corner. It would be an awesome textural element!
That was such an incredible transformation! My parents jet washed our patio and it didn't turn out that well!! Some of our slabs I think are from 70s when the house was built and they're so stained and have random black dots all over it so you don't get that pleasing before and after!!
I think maybe for that little corner you could but a chair and a shelf with books. Make it a little library and music listening nook. Then for the wall on the righthand side, in the nook, put a huge poster to cover the wall. Just a suggestion, can't wait to see how you get on!
That patio clean... so satisfying! As for your periods all my girlfriends I've spoken to have had weird (mostly late) periods during lockdown and my friend training to be an assistant nurse read somewhere that many people with periods were experiencing odd things during their cycle. I recommend doing some yoga pilates and reall stretching out your inner thighs and I find the half bridge on my back really really helps as well as lying down on my back with my legs in a diamond position. There are videos/pictures online with yoga for periods which are great. Also hot water bottles are the bomb! Hope you're feeling better soon. I enjoyed cosying up with your video :) Thanks Lucy
For the vinyl nook, you could get a tapestry or one of those pseudo-educational prints (like the seashell print you have) that hang like vintage maps used to hang in classrooms.
I would LOVE to see more of your artsy/crafty things! I'm trying to get into them myself. Definitely very interested in that Harry Potter coloring book! Thank you so much for these videos
Ahhh garden looks so good!! I honestly could not tell the difference between a weed and flower a couple of years ago but am loving growing things now. It can be a slow process but it's so satisfying :)
I am absolutely in love with the new cabinet, it really suits your room and your taste. Looks so vintage and cute. I adore your channel and I’ve gone back to vlog 1. Great job on your lovely home, although I still think the Meg fridge has to go........owwwww, it hurt to say that! Thank you for everything you share xxxx
Lucy, when the lockdown is over, I honestly want to hop on a plain from Australia to the U.K. and have a coffee with you! You have honestly became a friend to me! Your yard looks lovely btw! See you next time, have a fantastic day 😍
Yaaaass tidy garden ! Adam could actually turn profesh at infomercials !! his voice is perfect and bbq skills not too shabby ., how did the project manager like the clean pavers 😼
I love your vlogs and always look forward to seeing them in my list! Your house is so cozy and warm, I just love everything you’ve done! Stay healthy. Stay safe. Stay Lucy. 😘
I had to trim our lawn by hand with an edge trimmer as well, except we live on the countryside and the lawn is massive. It took 13 hours 😅 Loved seeing the power washing, so satisfying.
Thank you so much Lucy ! This was just what I needed I love your vlogs your energy is beautiful and it’s privilege that you let us get a glimpse into your lovely home. Big love from Australia
Fully recommend crocs for garden work. Never thought I'd ever see the day I'd wear them but they're great. Especially for just when you need to nip out the house to out rubbish out etc 😄
Have watched your videos for a while now Lucy and think you're so great! Then Adam asked you what you were going to power wash next and you said "EVERYTHING", and I think my patronus changed! Love from Australia, where we call strimmers "whipper snippers" - fun fact for your day! ♡
Fully recommend that microwave-less life! Our kitchen just can't fit one and we've been fine for almost 4 years. I really only miss it for leftovers - and stovetop popcorn is so good!
Loved the Powerwash Boogie. What a difference and so satisfying to watch. 👍 Love the record unit. Still think it would look better in the alcove where you can see it from the sofa, because then you could have a small mid century chair near the fireplace if you got rid of that awful leopard (sorry I hate that thing).
Maybe you could put a large mirror on the wall to open up that part of the room and it will reflect the light from the window on the opposite wall too
I looooove this idea!!
Definitely!
Adam’s JML impression was so perfect I literally cried 😂
Lucy: feeling confident?
Adam: yeah
*food on fire in the background* 😂😂😂😂
I had to pause it I was laughing so hard
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Analease Jac SAME omg i cried laughing
I love your vinyl unit! However I think it would look better on the wall where your shelves were, and then your vinyl wall behind it so it’s like a cosy music nook, rather than having it that way as the fireplace and shelves are on the same wall and looks a bit cluttered? Just a thought 😊

Same! And a nice cozy chair to sit and listen to music in. The arched lamp could also be placed across that area from the end of the fireplace 🤔
A great idea - I agree!
I was thinking the same thing and maybe a tall mirror next to the fire place or a bar cart?? Your vlogs are some of my favourite things to watch Lucy! xx
What a sweet little life you and Adam are building. Stitch yourselves in 10 years, and 20, and so on. Taller plants, veggies in the garden, changing rugs. A lovely vignette.
I'm living my garden dreams vicariously through your videos from my tiny one bed flat haha
Ahhh i feel so lucky to have one, especially at the moment, I'll try and share a bit more of it 😊
I would suggest making the space into a music/reading nook, perhaps by adding a small area rug to section off the space, some sort of chair or even just big cushions on the floor in the corner opposite the vinyl unit to sit and read, with a floor lamp or wall sconce above, and a couple of shelves running along the two empty walls for books and knick-knacks :) I love your channel Lucy and your vlogs are so cozy, fun and relatable - they are honestly my go-to when I am feeling down!

That's really lovely to hear, glad it can provide some relief 😊 look after yourself pal x
These are literally my favourite kind of vlogs. I know you think you’re dead boring, but you guys are actually super entertaining. Thank you for staying on your youtube game throughout lockdown, Lucy 😊
I think you are a refreshing breath of sunshine. Absolutely adorable.
you couldn't have uploaded at a better time! i am extremely stressed so i'm grateful that you can take my mind off things for a little while. hope you're all well and safe
Ahh take it easy pal, stress really takes it out of you. Lots of self care needed! x
The power washing was so satisfying, I power washed our rug & patio yesterday lol couldn't believe the difference, they both come up like new, I love the sideboard with the record player on it 😍👌 your bit of wall you could do a photo collage so people dont notice it till they actually get over near the record player,
I’m living for your videos! Always been a fan but during this madness they have been keeping me sane and helping take my mind off this whole ordeal. So thankyou Lucy for being such a relatable and cheerful influence on my life 😌
Lucy jet washing the patio was the content that I didn’t know I needed. Most satisfying thing I’ve seen all lockdown
I hope this home update will go in for a while, enjoy it way too much to stop now 😊 if you're looking for suggestions I would get rid of the flower bed on the right after season is over and put grass over it, garden will look less cramped and open up more. You can then add more greenery by putting a trellis next to the fance and hang plant pots on it, that way you gain space but don't loose the greenery 💚💚💚
Just loving all the homey, garden, crafty and animal crossing content from you! Definitely my favourite videos to watch at the moment
I so rarely comment on UA-cam videos but I just wanted to say thank you for these little 20 min vlogs of homey joy at the moment Lucy. Your videos are such a cosy ‘pick me up’ during this lockdown and I always look forward to you uploading!
P.s. I’ve been living the non-microwave life for 4 years now and honestly, I don’t see the point of them anymore 😂 welcome to the club!
Love me a bit of power washing
...
I'm definitely in my late 20s now aren't I
Hahaha SAME, we are now old x
Nonsense, I'm 20 and it was bliss!
Very very nice! Your back garden is sweet & sparkly, your midcentury furniture and cross-stitching inspires! Thank you!
Like everyone else is saying, that corner would be really cute with an antique-like mirror! I've seen a lot of people order antiques from Facebook Marketplace for cheap and paint them the way they like. OR it could be a cozy reading nook with a little bean bag/puff in the corner with some art/hanging plants!
It's so cute how pleased you are with your garden 🌻 it's definitely exciting content to celebrate the little things
Your garden transformation made me so happy with the lawn and new edges :D xxx
The slabs look amazing! I don't know if anyone has suggested this but it's a good idea to fill in the gaps between your patio slabs with sand or something similar to stop them moving and to discourage weeds from growing in between them :)
Ooh, what a nice little vinyl corner! Personally, I think I'd put up some shelves on the wall to maybe put books? That would make for a lovely "hobby" display. Or maybe booze or mugs or something? Also really like the idea of a mirror there that some people suggested though.
It's all looking great!! The blank space would suit shelves with books etc
Thanks for this lovely video, Lucy. My mum's been feeling very down at not seeing anyone (she's really social) and not having much to do, and after seeing how much you liked them, I'm going to get her a couple of the sewing kits - and maybe some for me too!

i honestly LIVE for these home vlogs

I am so here for the jet washing and i'm not even slightly ashamed, it's so satisfying to watch!
Thanks for being you , this has been awesome, you really have no idea how special you really are.
Please pick up the camera and film because you have a gift x plus the addition of comedy yes your natural humour is spot on as well.
I guess you could say I'm a fan 🤗
Stay safe stay well xx
Take care everyone 😉
I never knew I needed a power washer in my life, but I do now! I don't even have a patio! Also, the corn on fire made me chuckle😄
Perhaps a weird comment but in this vlog I was really struck by how beautiful you are?! On the outside as well as on the inside - you have a wonderful sunshiney pretty face and your eyelashes are incredible.
i’ve been loving your vlogs even more lately, especially this one. little bit of home inspo, some great food content, laughs, FLO!!!! also when adam said he was feeling confident and then the corn caught fire i started crying i was laughing so hard lol. what’s not to love. hope you and adam are keeping well 💛
maybe like, a full length mirror in that corner next to the vinyl/plant - reflect some more light into the room, especially in a corner
The satisfaction of the pressure washer will never get old! Patio looks fabulous 👌
We are microwave less too as the one we had broke and whilst looking for a replacement we realized we didn't miss it. Been almost 2 years now and don't regret not replacing it. Just have to be careful when you buy pre made tray meals as most are mricrowaveable. Has encouraged us to eat fresh more xx
Ever since I saw your patio I've been hoping you'd do a power wash - and it was EVERYTHING 😁 Thank you for sharing that!
Love your garden, it’s gorgeous! I love a traditional lawn and borders garden that hasn’t been gravelled/decked over- it’s so pretty and you have some lovely plants x
Lucy, as you said at the very end of the video, your vlogs are indeed a delightful escape! Keep filming them!
Omg the power washing is the most satisfying thing I've ever seen in my whole life
I found the pains bad with my period too this month! Me and my sister reckon it is because there is less to distract us than, normal so it seems worse than it would be other months. Keep up the amazing vlogs, you are doing great and every one is like a catch up with an old friend xx
I actually said WOW when the patio was all lovely and clean! Another brilliant vlog
Adams JML voice is scarily accurate hahahaha 😂😂😂
The patio looks amazing and using the jet wash looked so much fun. Wish I could jet wash my minging tiles indoors 😅
Do you have a painting of Flo on your old shelf? 😯
what a lovely lovely vlog! so nice to see you guys so happy!
A mirror like others have suggested or a medium sized tapestry would look good on that wall by the record storage! A tapestry would really break up all the glass and sharp corners of the frames and records and bring a softer touch into that corner. It would be an awesome textural element!
I’m always late to the vlogs but they make me smile from beginning to end 😻
This was so satisfying between the power washing and the unit assembly! I’m such a grandpa now hey?
I just love your videos- they always pick my mood right up! 🧡🦊🧡
The patio power washing was sooo satisfying to watch!
pressure washing is sooo satisfying I love it but I also always get covered in muddy water. Looks so good now
My boyfriend built me a custom vinyl table....I love your setup!! Super cute!
Lucy you make me genuinely happy. Your so sarcastic!! Xxx
That was such an incredible transformation! My parents jet washed our patio and it didn't turn out that well!! Some of our slabs I think are from 70s when the house was built and they're so stained and have random black dots all over it so you don't get that pleasing before and after!!

I just love your content so much. You are so relatable and just a genuine, nice person! Also, that garden and patio reveal, oooft xx
I bought a few vinyl wall displays for my room! So excited to get them!!
I've been loving your vlogs even more than usual recently, especially with all the little DIY/home bits and bobs!
I love seeing your garden progress! pls keep us updated! it is actually v exciting content!!
That patio clean... so satisfying!
As for your periods all my girlfriends I've spoken to have had weird (mostly late) periods during lockdown and my friend training to be an assistant nurse read somewhere that many people with periods were experiencing odd things during their cycle.

Who knew power washing content was what I needed today? You both are delightful, as always. Sending love x
Watching while taking a break from work is the best! Btw your eyes are suuuper pretty!
Thank you for ur uploads. Ur so upbeat all the time and helping me get through uni work x
For the vinyl nook, you could get a tapestry or one of those pseudo-educational prints (like the seashell print you have) that hang like vintage maps used to hang in classrooms.
Another lovely vlog. Thank you for brightening my day 😊 Loving the look of the lounge xx
I'm enjoying the game of where will the ladder be next 😁
Next winter chop the rose right down and it will grow well next year
I would LOVE to see more of your artsy/crafty things! I'm trying to get into them myself. Definitely very interested in that Harry Potter coloring book! Thank you so much for these videos
Pressure washing is the most satisfying thing ever 😩❤️
Ahhh garden looks so good!! I honestly could not tell the difference between a weed and flower a couple of years ago but am loving growing things now. It can be a slow process but it's so satisfying :)
Always love your videos Lucy! With being stuck at home it's like catching up with a friend whenever you upload 🧡
I am absolutely in love with the new cabinet, it really suits your room and your taste. Looks so vintage and cute. I adore your channel and I’ve gone back to vlog 1. Great job on your lovely home, although I still think the Meg fridge has to go........owwwww, it hurt to say that! Thank you for everything you share xxxx
I cannot explain to you how much I've been enjoying your vlogs! Keep em coming xx
Loving your content, your one of the most down to earth honest youtubers out there, luv ya girly
shelf with cacti on it? or a little shelf with some photos on it, for the nock area. could put up the sewing/embroidery on it too
Lucy, when the lockdown is over, I honestly want to hop on a plain from Australia to the U.K. and have a coffee with you!
You have honestly became a friend to me!
Your yard looks lovely btw!
See you next time, have a fantastic day 😍
Why does power washing make me so excited? Love it!
Yaaaass tidy garden ! Adam could actually turn profesh at infomercials !! his voice is perfect and bbq skills not too shabby ., how did the project manager like the clean pavers 😼
I love your vlogs and always look forward to seeing them in my list! Your house is so cozy and warm, I just love everything you’ve done! Stay healthy. Stay safe. Stay Lucy. 😘
I power washed the other day. So so satisfying!!!
Thank you for being so wholesome. Xx
Watching your videos always feels like a visit with a friend 🙂 thank you xx
I had to trim our lawn by hand with an edge trimmer as well, except we live on the countryside and the lawn is massive. It took 13 hours 😅 Loved seeing the power washing, so satisfying.
Thank you so much Lucy ! This was just what I needed I love your vlogs your energy is beautiful and it’s privilege that you let us get a glimpse into your lovely home. Big love from Australia
This is just what I needed.. your vlogs are always so enjoyable and calming :) the power washing was super satisfying! xx
big big big fan of the joy in this video
Fully recommend crocs for garden work. Never thought I'd ever see the day I'd wear them but they're great. Especially for just when you need to nip out the house to out rubbish out etc 😄
Oh also definitely pop a small accent chair in that corner! Will be super useful for when you have people round too
Loving the unit! I would have it on the wall where your old unit was so it’s facing outwards! I think it would look lovely in there :)
I love settling down to watch your videos while I'm eating my lunch. Highlights of my weeks
Perfect video to keep my entertained while I pack for moving
Have watched your videos for a while now Lucy and think you're so great! Then Adam asked you what you were going to power wash next and you said "EVERYTHING", and I think my patronus changed!
Love from Australia, where we call strimmers "whipper snippers" - fun fact for your day! ♡
can always rely on these vlogs to brighten my day and crack me up, LIVING for your wholesomeness 🥰
Love your home vlogs!! ❤️❤️❤️
I am here for all the organizing of the junk room!
I power washed my patio on Sunday and my reaction was the same as yours! So much fun and so satisfying 😂
Garden can be such fun . Love your indoor plants as well :)
Definitely a nice shelf in the corner. Maybe a fancy decal?
Fully recommend that microwave-less life! Our kitchen just can't fit one and we've been fine for almost 4 years. I really only miss it for leftovers - and stovetop popcorn is so good!
Bloody love your vlogs< i smile all the way through !! Thank you 🙏 xx
Loved the Powerwash Boogie. What a difference and so satisfying to watch. 👍
Love the record unit. Still think it would look better in the alcove where you can see it from the sofa, because then you could have a small mid century chair near the fireplace if you got rid of that awful leopard (sorry I hate that thing).
