OMG Lydia-the idea of the stairs leading down to the lower level is an absolute must! Not only could you have some wonderful sloping beds to the side, you could play around with old weathered pots on the stairs. Also, it would cast SO much light into the lower level too.
Agreed! Came to the comments for this!😂 I want to add that you could also do a tiered water feature down the middle of the stairs, and all the little froggies could get in & out safely 🐸🫠🥺
Watching on my tv and HAD to pop onto my phone to say how much the tiered steps down to the basement level would be SUCH a game changer. I would prioritise that over cosmetics for now as it would be such a huge improvement to the property. I’m an interior architect and design landscaping often, big courtyards for living developments and that idea is gold.
“Another purse I can’t fit my keys in.” Lol Between the pups, your reactions to the pups and your bag, and Ali - that had to be the most entertaining unboxing of an extremely expensive purse. Enjoyed it! 😃
Definitely go with the stairs idea it will open up your whole down stairs area for the office and your entertaining room, make them super wide for people to sit on too. Brilliant idea.
The sweats look fantastic on you...or you make them look fantastic...either or....the green is such a flattering colour. Love the white as well. I absolutely can see your vision for the back and your gardens.
I love the small Kelly bag! Absolutely adorable! And those two puppies chasing each other gives me so much joy!🤗🤗. They are hilarious! I’m so glad you got Porter a playmate!❤️❤️
The steps leading into the basement will be a game changer. You'll probably find yourself using that area so much it will be well worth it. Can't wait to see it take shape.
Suggestions: DEFINITELY go for the stairs down to the basement! Convert your gym into a second office for your expanding team. THEN build a beautiful shed/gym outside (think soho farm house style) with brick and exposed beams.
I can't get over how everything just exploded during the week you were on holiday - the raised beds, the house vines, the greenhouse sprootlings, AND the woodland is SO green now!! You've convinced me to get some cloches to deter the bunnies and slugs. 👍🏻
Havnt watched all the way through yet but just while I remember - I planted courgette seeds after our chat and they’ve actually almost caught up with yours so please don’t save me any darling! Plant them all!! 🥰🥰🪴🪴🪴
I didn’t see where you purchased the Hermès mini? It went straight to the Hermès website and we all know you can’t just get it there! Shoot! So if you could please point me in the direction!
Oh my, yes, build down into the lower level! How absolutely amazing!!!!! I don’t your regret it and it completely aligns with your vision and the changes you’ve made so far 💗
Yes lydia!!! Do it. I think it would be absolutely gorgeous. I thought about that a few times before you’ve mentioned it but i see something in front of me like the spanish stairs in rome! With lights in the evening and soft cello music. It would be the greatest asset made out of a big flaw. Brilliant!
You could do a wall at the gravel walkway, have the area where the grass is open to the bottom floor level have it open to that gravel walkway and put a pool in where the grassy area is that would level with the walkout section of the house..
Love the idea of the stairs going down, do it! I really like the trestle table under the window, not sure you really need a bigger one. The pots underneath and on side fill the space nicely. You could also have some topiary on each side of table on ground to fill space and have even more green. The puppies chasing each other was such a joy.
I'm incredibly impressed and inspired by your home improvement/decorative skills. It encourages me to not go for the standard of what people expect a home to be. But to make a home for myself and my family where we get to live and love and grow. (I'm not so well versed in English but I hope that you understand what I'm trying to say) Your videos are like a comfortable blanket after a hard working and busy day when you settle on the outside terras with the setting sun over a green field.
Holy crap, doing that staircase/mini amphitheatre sounds INCREDIBLE. I think it would make the kitchen garden side of your home unbeatably functional and beautiful, and would be such an addition to your property. I REAAAAALLY hope you do it - I would love to see that realised!
The best part, not to minimize all ur lovely linens and such, is the sound of the dogs running around in the living room!! I was laughing out loud at the sound of their feet on the carpet. Such happy boys. 🥰❤️
Lydia you are glowing! Not just the Maldivian glow but from the inside out! Love this Vlog, so much variety but the joy in the ‘mundane’ is wonderful. The mini Kelly is just 😍 cannot wait to see her all styled up this summer xx
Lydia, have you ever considered getting chickens or other birds for your property? They are so fun to watch and give fresh eggs every day. Your yard is the perfect setting and I bet you could have a very chic coop built in your woodland.
Hi Lydia, I would suggest you to buy a antique Chinese Cabinet (they have various colours, even the dark green which you & I like a lot) for your linens as well as bed sheet. They are so very good, large space to have all your linens & napkins.
Your videos just are so positive and make you feel good I was feeling fed up today and you cheered me up Thankyou,your dressing looks amazing by the way welcome home xxx
Must say I’m loving these vlogs , n been rather spoilt two in a row ♥️ I’ve always loved linen tablecloths plain ones , embroidered ones , themed ones with napkins to accompany them , they are definitely making a come back and I’m so glad they are means I can buy more 😁🥰
probably from Sellier or luxury promise. The bag is definetely from a reseller hence why the receipt had the details covered. Besides, as you pointed out, since lockdowns are over, Hermes demands you to go in store to collect it. "small details" that make all the difference 😁
Welcome home Lydia , your colour choice in your dressing room is absolutely devine...my favourite Cotswold green ( thats what I call it ) my kitchen is in that exact same shade and my dad's house in the Cotswolds has the same windows and front door colour too.
I love the London Hermes stores. I’m in the US. I shop w different SAs at different Hermes stores in the UK, make a bunch of wish lists and have gotten every single quota bag I want with next to zero spend beyond the bags. Thank you, UK Hermes!
That you are loving every day of your life is so GOOD, I only have done things that I was happy to do, and learned to say NO, I CAN'T when I was younger. Most people never learn this, and live with resentment without even knowing why. This enjoyment of living, will also keep you looking younger than those who complain constantly. It's so calming watching your video's and I am so happy for you and Ali, just a great couple.
I REALLY WANTED IT TO BE THAT BAG! And I’m so happy you got it. And I’ve already stocked up on the white adanola tank bra but think I’m going to get more colors.
I don't know about anytime else but I was far more excited about the tablecloths than the Hermes 😆 Also, although I do think the excavation would be fantastic, I remember you had to bring the drinks truck round that way, when you did your first big garden party, so something to think about how you would maintain vehicular access to the garden if you dug out and want to keep doing the garden parties x
The excavating idea is genius! I know it'll be incredibly expensive but it would elevate and illuminate that part of the house to a higher level. You should really give it a whirl.
I think I am the only person that really don’t like the green dressing room. I can see it in a kitchen or bathroom, but I liked her white dressing room better. 😳. I can’t understand the obsession with the green color on everything, even her nails 😅😅😅. And I normally like Lydia’s taste in just about everything.🤩
@@lidiakuhn6505 you are not the only one. I cannot look at it for a long time the green does something to me and makes me want to throw up, but at least it makes her happy. The white one was so open and clean. The green is not so bright. But we cant all like the same thing🤗
Excavating it the best transformation four your house and garden, it will give so much curb appeal ! And give the house more value. Money we’ll spend 🤗
And just like that I’ve ordered more from Adanola🤦🏼♀️ thank you for getting another discount code!! Love seeing Lumi play with her little brothers and the bag is gorgeous!!xx
I love the table as is with the pots and clematis 😍 If I were you I would get some wooden panelling for the water hose though. The idea of the stairs sounds lovely so hoping that it is within your budget. Lovely video as always Lydia 💫 My boyfriend and I loved the garden tour!
Lydia, I absolutely loved this video…a little bit of everything video, as I like to call it. So fun to watch you experiment with different set ups and things, in the end we all know that you will make whatever it is that you’re tackling look absolutely gorgeous!! 🤗
Kia ora Lydia! Enjoying the gardening and the stair ideas sounds lovely!!! Just wondering if there’s a need to blur out your licence plate for privacy sake?
Oooo! The tiered excavation sounds beautiful! You could more easily soften the modern look of your house that you’re not so into. Gurl, how much is that?! 😱🤑
Loved this vlog, Lydia.your house looks truly amazing.I love the garden..your garden party friends are really blessed with the amount of love & attention to detail you put in. Linda from dublin
If you can afford the steps idea go for it . It will completely change and enhance the space. The table idea is great. Don't doubt your taste and its your home not ours xx
I don't know if that is the case in other Southern European countries, but in Greece the almond blossoms are the symbol of Spring. Like cherry blossoms are to East Asian countries. We wait for the almond trees to bloom every year! And they are so so pretty! Every March we wait to see almond blooms and swallows. Whenwe see those it means Spring is truly hear and we need to wear this red and white bracelet that we call the March bracelet. It's an ancient tradition. We make it out of red and white thread and I also like to pop on an evil eye to keep away bad energy.
I absolutely love linens (and a good tablescape) and your linen collection is definitely off and running! If I had available hanging space I would do this organizational method in a minute... I’ve seen the table linen storage of dreams where they had hanging tags on the hangers of the tablecloth/runner dimensions and description, then clip hangers for the napkins. Everything was sorted by size and then within each size category, by color. Easy access to find and put away, where you don’t have to unload the entire drawer to get to what you want, or topple over the stack on a shelf! Perhaps one day in my dream home with the enormous butler’s pantry! 😉😊😁😍🥰
Our dachshund does the exact same thing after she’s had a bath! Grunts and whines and then has tons of energy afterward! The best pets you can have in my opinion!
OMG, the table linens are stunning 💖 Absolutely love your choices. The almond Blossom is so beautiful 😍. Love your Style Lydia !! And, your puppies are so cute I can't stand it 😁🤭, they are Sooo funny ☺️. Thanks for sharing 💞💞💞💞

Be careful if not done right water will be in your house. Sweetie.

I’m an interior architect and design landscaping often, big courtyards for living developments and that idea is gold.
Oh wow - the stairs going down to the lower floor and tiered garden beds sounds INCREDIBLE!!! Do it! 🙌
Imagine the photos on those stairs 😳
“Another purse I can’t fit my keys in.” Lol Between the pups, your reactions to the pups and your bag, and Ali - that had to be the most entertaining unboxing of an extremely expensive purse. Enjoyed it! 😃
Definitely go with the stairs idea it will open up your whole down stairs area for the office and your entertaining room, make them super wide for people to sit on too. Brilliant idea.
The stairs going down to the lower level….an absolute YES. The new mini Kelly bb is gorgeous. I think we all knew what it was gonna be 😂😍
The sweats look fantastic on you...or you make them look fantastic...either or....the green is such a flattering colour. Love the white as well. I absolutely can see your vision for the back and your gardens.
I love the small Kelly bag! Absolutely adorable! And those two puppies chasing each other gives me so much joy!🤗🤗. They are hilarious! I’m so glad you got Porter a playmate!❤️❤️
I LOVE the idea of the tiered steps!! It would make the club room more connected to the garden, and thus more usable!
This intro tho 🤍🤍 Also love the styling tip to wear items that skim your body regardless of the shape you’ve been given!! Makes so much sense.
I think you should DEFINITELY do the tiered steps in the garden!! 😍
That would look stunning if you excavated - and the light it would give to the basement area would be stunning -
The steps leading into the basement will be a game changer. You'll probably find yourself using that area so much it will be well worth it. Can't wait to see it take shape.
Suggestions:
DEFINITELY go for the stairs down to the basement!

The dressing room is a dream. So whimsical and warm, yet also rustic and minimal. What a lovely place to play in clothes and makeup. ♥️♥️♥️
Havnt watched all the way through yet but just while I remember - I planted courgette seeds after our chat and they’ve actually almost caught up with yours so please don’t save me any darling! Plant them all!! 🥰🥰🪴🪴🪴
_Trust me. I am blown away with my pochette Lv ❤❤ Bags from the website_ @ *xguci.com* _are just on another level above all of the sellers._
I didn’t see where you purchased the Hermès mini? It went straight to the Hermès website and we all know you can’t just get it there! Shoot! So if you could please point me in the direction!
Beautiful additional to the bag collection. Also the tiered stairs will be amazing. You should totally do it, will completely transform that area.
The royal blue outfit you wore early in vlog is THE BEST COLOR for you. Just beautiful.
I'm very proud to say that I knew exactly what was in that bag🥰 so happy for you Lydia, can't wait to see all the outfits w this gorgeous bag🤎
Let me just say, you look absolutely stunning in this navy blue dress. This colour it’s just perfect for you! 💙💙💙
Ali,"Another purse I can't fit my keys in." Priceless. I LOVE your new bag! I have it on my wishlist too! Congrats! Enjoy!
Oh my, yes, build down into the lower level! How absolutely amazing!!!!! I don’t your regret it and it completely aligns with your vision and the changes you’ve made so far 💗
Definitely do the tiered staircase down to the bar area!!! Will revolutionise your home!!!
Lydia is such a good homemaker. Her home is so cozy and clean 🪴 🏡 👩🏻🌾
I don’t know if I missed it, but where was the H&M haul? I love those!
I had no idea your garden went so far back into the trees! It looks so much bigger now compared to before. Beautiful!
Yes lydia!!! Do it. I think it would be absolutely gorgeous. I thought about that a few times before you’ve mentioned it but i see something in front of me like the spanish stairs in rome! With lights in the evening and soft cello music. It would be the greatest asset made out of a big flaw. Brilliant!
Loving all your table cloths ☺️ when you mentioned the hint of pink I was just imaging the bottles of whispering angel and blush tones 🌸🌿
You could do a wall at the gravel walkway, have the area where the grass is open to the bottom floor level have it open to that gravel walkway and put a pool in where the grassy area is that would level with the walkout section of the house..
I could watch the sausages running after each other for hours - so cuuuuute
Love the idea of the stairs going down, do it! I really like the trestle table under the window, not sure you really need a bigger one. The pots underneath and on side fill the space nicely. You could also have some topiary on each side of table on ground to fill space and have even more green. The puppies chasing each other was such a joy.

You have definitely inspired the sage color in me, got myself a pedicure today in a sage nalish polish and I absolutely love it...I'm converted.
Yayxxxx 👀
The bag unboxing is at 40:15
Oh I just loved seeing Lumi play hunting with the doggies! She is such a beautiful cat!
Did you buy the bag directly from Hermes or from another place?
I just have to say 🤭...when you stand in front of your mirrors, the chandelier looks like a gorgeous crown. Queen! 👑
Lydia, have you ever considered getting chickens or other birds for your property? They are so fun to watch and give fresh eggs every day. Your yard is the perfect setting and I bet you could have a very chic coop built in your woodland.
Oooooh I love the idea of the staircase from the garden to the basement. Oooooh ooooh want for you so much 🥰 sounds amazing!
I’m frznch and everytime your try to speak or say something in french it’s so refreshing and adorable but also funny hahah
Thank you for that 🤍😂
Omg the sound of their little paws running around! My heart!!

I'm in love with your garden. Must be such a joy to have all those lovely vegetables and fruit growing.
Must say I’m loving these vlogs , n been rather spoilt two in a row ♥️
I’ve always loved linen tablecloths plain ones , embroidered ones , themed ones with napkins to accompany them , they are definitely making a come back and I’m so glad they are means I can buy more 😁🥰
Love the idea of that stair case in your garden! It would look stunning
With the tiered stares. You could use it as an outdoor cinema with the screen on the house and pillows on the stairs for seating. Like by kings cross
That’s a labour of love - washing those dogs. You’ve got a good man there!
Love the outfits! What size did you order for your adanola jumpers?
Omg loving the concept of excavating the stairs to the area below.
omg that bag is sooooo beautiful!
Your. Dressing room looks the best ever! Negative space on the shelf looks good too. Gives the a rest. You styled it perfectly.
The tiered steps would do so much for your house and your garden. I say YES.
Hello. Nice bag, may I know where did you get it from please? I ask as I know Hermes don’t deliver, so wondered where you got it from. Thank you :)
probably from Sellier or luxury promise. The bag is definetely from a reseller hence why the receipt had the details covered. Besides, as you pointed out, since lockdowns are over, Hermes demands you to go in store to collect it. "small details" that make all the difference 😁

Blue is definitely your colour, that dress looks wonderful on you

Good afternoon Lydia:)
Silence subscriber here, but I had to comment .
You are spoiling us with back to back videos :)) Love it 😍
Thank you

Love the Adanola haul and wow congratulations on your new handbag! How amazing and gorgeous. 😊
Can you do a styling video with all your Hermes bags? Would love to see 😍
Mint tends to spread aggressively.. Something to keep in your mind when plant with other plants in the same herb bed..
I can just see how light, bright and airy stepped levels down to the basement floor would look. It would be amazing.
Those adorable little dogs🐕 🐶 running around had me laughing hard.😂😂😂
Really enjoying watching you both atm. Great content !!!.
I love how the dressing room turned out. I wasn't sure how the green would look but it looks very nice.
I think I am the only person that really don’t like the green dressing room. I can see it in a kitchen or bathroom, but I liked her white dressing room better. 😳.

My hubby loves Qatar Airways as well! He uses them when he flies to AFRICA every year. He stays in one of their little rooms.
The dogs getting their bath was absolutely adorable 🥰😂
Absolutely loved this whole video!

That sage set is gorgeous on you!
So excited for your new treasure! SO glad you didn’t sell your limited edition Lady Dior! It’s exquisite and timeless and one of a kind.
Kia ora Lydia! Enjoying the gardening and the stair ideas sounds lovely!!! Just wondering if there’s a need to blur out your licence plate for privacy sake?
Oooo! The tiered excavation sounds beautiful! You could more easily soften the modern look of your house that you’re not so into. Gurl, how much is that?! 😱🤑
I just wanted to say - I bought some of this workout wear on the basis of your recommendation and OMG it's awesome, addicted! Thank you!! ❤️
Loved this vlog, Lydia.your house looks truly amazing.I love the garden..your garden party friends are really blessed with the amount of love & attention to detail you put in. Linda from dublin
I hope you guys decide to excavate the basement patio. It would definitely be worth it!
Hahah I knew it when she was decluttering her handbags from Dior, Chanel and LV and i left a comment she's gonna get another Hermes!
Looks great

Your videos are such an escape! Look forward to them every week🤍
OMG, the table linens are stunning 💖
Absolutely love your choices. The almond
Blossom is so beautiful 😍. Love your
Style Lydia !! And, your puppies are so cute
I can't stand it 😁🤭, they are Sooo funny ☺️. Thanks for sharing 💞💞💞💞
