Editing by Simon ❤️
I find this so much more interesting than other you tubers channels .....the fact you are buying reasonable price and even cheap items and painting or changing them in ways to make them your own and unique ....and I love that you are stepping out of the box with a unique colour scheme.....it is really looking beautiful....love this more than the fashion....haha
Arabella Magnolia agree 👍
YUP.
Watching Video: *Simons crack shows*
Me: *shaking my head & thinking* " Poor man has no idea his crack is being filmed & will be forever on the internet ." lol
I really enjoy you renovation content lately. Plus, the two of you seem to be one of the most down-to-earth people.
Loving the updates. Yes, I think if you cover the white plug with painter's tape you can spray paint it black.
We have those kind of blinds at our place of worship. Love how the spare room turned out with the coving. That lamp looks awesome
It's not a home renovation without Simon's crack haha. Everything looks so great, love how you guys are doing a lot of the DIY!
🤣 🙈
I love following your renovation journey. You both should be so proud of yourselves.
Have loved following along with the Reno! Have you guys considered staining the doors like you did with the headboard? Might be less severe than black paint and add some texture by allowing the natural wood grain to show.
I love how the guest room has come together!! It’s gorgeous
Loving the updates guys, good luck choosing a colour for your living room. You both deserve a pat on the back.X
❤️
I discovered and followed your channel because of an house tour video. So I am so happy that you’ve decided to create more content (great content BTW) about decoration
I kinda of like the salmon color that the plaster creates in the hallway. You guys are doing a wonderful job.
Emma, to avoid white plugs on black wall you can use a smart bulb instead. For the lamp which has only 1 bulb it’s a nice solution. Besides, you can dim the light or even chose color (if the bulb has this option) while with the plug you can only switch it on and off and put a timer. I use TP-link bulbs which don’t need a hub and are reasonably priced.
If your Alexa plug is the correct width you might be able to cover it in a strip of black electrical tape. Otherwise, I suggest using fireproof black spray paint - we have it here in US for recoating outdoor fire pit rings, fireplace grates, stovepipes etc. Obviously you still have to avoid the contact points but using that sort of paint so close to electrical contacts would give me peace of mind :)
Just use black tape around the smart adapter that may be an option for you, love the renovations spare room looks awesome
i was going to suggest the same thing
Rachael Jones me too
Right - electrical black tape
Looking amazing! Love the colours. Great job guys! Can’t wait to see what you have done.
Love the spare room 😍. Am I the only one excited to see the basement?! 😁x
I’m loving these vlogs. You guys have done a fabulous job. I am dying to see the basement Btw, loved the coving you have chosen for the hall. Adds so much character. I’m going to miss these vlogs when they are done but am enjoying the journey.
Were just waiting for the finishing touch to the basement (took a while to make the decision 🤣) but hopefully next week will be finished 👍
You're so inspiring. Since following your reno, I've done a few myself! I always thought I needed professional people to do the work and when I saw regular folks like you trying, I decided I would give it a try myself and it worked! So keep up the good work and great videos!
❤️
Love that you've put your pictures up before you've finished the room. Type of thing i do 😊
🤣
So impressed with your reno ... you two are doing an amazing job!
Thank you ❤️
Loving the house transformation, looking forward to see the basement/cellar x
looking fab, cant wait to see the finished coving. It really completes a room I think.x
Hi Emma and Simon.. It's amazing the amount of things you did by yourselves... Well done.. And the guest room looks so cosy.. Very impressive!!! 😍 😍
Thank you. We always say what's the worst that can happen. If it goes wrong, it goes wrong but at least we will learn from it ❤️
Absolutely..always hopping we won't the same mistake twice..😬
But everything looks so good... It is indeed a lot of wirk but at the end of it we feel this sense of pride!!
Have a wonderful week!!❤️
These reno vlogs give me so much inspiration Emma, I love your style! X
I'd just wrap some black tape or ribbon around the smart plug for now. Everything is looking gorgeous. You inspire me. I'm doing the same myself at present so I feel your pain. We're having all the floors sanded before repainting each room though UGH! I'm also building a larder cupboard and re-jigging my wardrobes lol, all by myself.
Oh wow, sounds like you are busier than us! Hope it is going well and the sanding didn't cause too much dust 🙈
Everything is looking great. You are both doing a lovely job xx
Thank you ❤️
It's looking really great. My goodness, you two have worked so hard, but you've achieved such a professional finish and stylish designs. Loving the little doggy staircase! Aww, poor Simon's thumb, that must've hurt! 😖
He had to have it taped up for a few days but its healing OK now. 🙈
Yas! Just finished work and a new upload! Love seeing these updates! The spare room is beautiful! 💛
Choosing paint is an epic decision! You are just like me. I agonize over slight differences in shades that ultimately really do not matter.
Yahoo! Curious to see what is the final color for the high ceiling feature wall! Though I’m digging that plaster color by itself 🤫
Nice nice nice nice progress! But I am curious, if F&B paint marks so easily, how is the touch up? I almost wish you would show a bit of that. Can you touch up small areas that blend in? Great work, it is looking sooooooo nice!
We have found that it blends really well actually although others have had a different experience 👍
It looks fantastic Emma! Simon and yourself have put so much love and hard work into your renovations and it shows! May I ask - are you guys only one vlog while the renos are in progress? I may have missed something! Anyway look forward to your next video! (and yes I hear you re: the non matching plugs - also my pet peeve!)
Yes just one video at the moment as the house is in too much of a state for me to get my bits together and do the fashion videos too (SO much dust everywhere 🤣) but they will be resuming very shortly 👍
Hi Emma you could use dc fix aka sticky back plastic to cover the white plug thingy ! Might be safer than spraying
I loved everything you guys did !! The guest room was beautiful, now I can visit you and stay a week there !! lol
You guys are pros. Your home is looking amazing ❤️
Thank you ❤️
I admire you two (and also envy you a little bit) for being so talented and skilled 💕!
I admire how you and Simon work together! It’s refreshing. Loving the series (but I enjoy everything you do 😜)
Ahhh you’ve done such a good job 😍 totally inspired, can’t wait to see your living room/ lounge as that’s something I’m doing soon and seem to be going for a similar style/colour 😬 xxx
You two are rolling right along! No pun intended.
I can’t believe there are no black smart plugs around...Amazon have missed a trick there! In the meantime you could try my trick...I don’t like having lots of wires showing so, by my bedside tables where we have the lamps, Alexa, chargers, etc I have an extension lead plugged in the wall then the rest of the gubbins are plugged into that and hidden underneath the bedside table. Makes it look neater. Black extension cords are easily available 😊 The renovations are looking amazing! Well done to you both!! Have a lovely weekend xx
Hope you have a lovely weekend too ❤️
Have you considered staining the doors instead of painting them?
I would try black ribbon in Matt glue round the smart plug ! Rooms looking great you Two 💖xxx p.s you may already know Laura Ashley paint has to be watered down when you use it for cutting in 🤨 xx
Emma they sell Alexa light bulbs! That’s what I use think they were 2 for £20 in wilko when I got them xx
you could use black washi/deco tape for the smarthome plugs. not as pretty closeup but it will a. do the job and is b. safe to use.
Can you take down the blind and spray paint the silver cord to black or copper
I love your DIY home vlogs so much! 😍
Em another great vlog the decorating has been amazing to watch you and Simon have done such an an amazing job! 👍🏻
Love the space. Can you do a video on how to paint furniture?
Loving these updates, please can you tell me where the lilac duvet cover in the guest room is from. Such a lovely colour! 😁😘
You could try wrapping the plug in washi tape. Not the most permanent and durable option, but very easy, cheap, quick, and definitely safe!
Well done you two!! Looks amazin!!!😘
you can wrap the smart plugs in black vinyl
Loving your DIY vlogs! 💖👍😁 all your hard work is definitely paying off...your rooms look absolutely stunning! 😍 x x x
Thank you. ❤️ It has taken a lot longer than we expected but we're glad we have had the little additional pieces done so we're happy with it.❤️ but will be so happy once its finished lol.
I’m loving all the decor vlogs xx
I’ll take third! Looking good on the Reno. It just takes so much patience to get it right. Keep up the good work.
Great work Emma and your “sub”. I think I would just cover the white plug with black electrical tape. Much safer than anything wet!
Clicking LIKES before even playing the video lol just to show how much I was looking forward to your videos!
Thank you ❤️
3 for 2 on coloured emulsion at B&Q, you better believe I’m taking advantage of that but also not a clue on which colours to choose 😩
🤣🤣
Looking good Emma! What type of bulb does the lamp need? Can you not just get a smart bulb then that would negate the need for the plug?
I hadn't thought of that. I guess I assumed that smart bulbs needed something to connect to at the socket too instead of the "smart bit" just being in the bulb 🙈
Emma Hill ha! When we first got smart bulbs they didn’t do ones that fit our lamp so we had to use a smart plug. But they do most common fittings now so we switched over 👍🏻
Can’t have lovely black sockets with a big white plug sticking out can we now! 😂
Not sure what your white plug is made of but, would a few coats of black permanent marker do the trick? Just a thought....
Out of all sub notifications this was first port of call. X
I am interested in your blinds. How did you decide on an outside mount versus and inside mount? Things look great. Please come to Texas:)
It was just personal preference to be honest. We preferred the outside ones to make the windows look a little bigger and also stop more of the light coming in 👍
You can get black smart sockets. Would these not be an option?
I can't find black ones anywhere 🤷♀️

Try using a black shrink wrap tape to cover the white smart plug, just be careful not to cover the sensor on the plug.
Cover your smart plug with black electrical tape?
Love the linen blinds, but I'm sure a law was passed that the chain/cord are no longer safe to hang free and need fixing to the wall xxx
Not that it's a help now.. but you could of bought smart sockets. Instead of an additional plug. Just bought a smart plug with USB as well. Probably cost more. But more effective with running a smart home and no additional 'smart' adapters.
You are like me, when it comes to details, got to be so. But it's looking very stylish, and you guys are saving lots of money, and F&B paint sucks. 🙈🤣😘
Dont use the adapter use a hue lamps (or IKEA) conect to Alexa by a hue bridge and you dont need any adapters for lamps Have my whole house connected soon.
UA-cam for some reason has started recommending your old videos to me. Even ones that I've seen before.
Definitely not hating it tho. Good ol' throwbacks 😊
🤣 typical UA-cam doing its own random thing again 🤣
@@EmmaHill I ain't mad! 😄
Hi! Can I visit you? Just really wanna stay in your guest room, it looks so calming and cosy 😍 good job guys!
❤️
Oh Emma, well done to both of you, your home is looking so stylish now. So glad we are all moving away from white and grey homes! Loving the natural shades and flora like pampas and eucalyptus. I’m looking for some realistic faux pussy willow (catkins) which look amazing on their own in a vase, especially against a darker wall.
3:06 when you waggle you’re tongue and say ‘delicious’ absolutely cracked me up 😂
can black washi tape or any washi tape be used on smart plugs.
It looks so good!
Thank you ❤️
Could you paint the plug with a black gloss paint? (I’m probably wrong and its not safe but I feel the stress about the lack of matchy matchy!!) 😆
Get Alexa bulbs rather than plugs!! We’ve done our whole house xxx
What about a bit of contact paper to go round the alexa smart plug in the spare room? X
I think you would still still the white of the front. Although I could spray just the bits you can see which would keep me away from the electrical components 🤣👍
Emma, look at a haberdashery shop or a diy shop for the roman blind pullies. If you cant locate them there I can send you a link where you can order them from here in Holland
Thank you I will take a look 👍
I’ m loving this home renovation ♥️♥️ please what camera are you using for your vlogs 🙏🏽?
It is a Sony a6400 👍
lounge swatches !!!! you really have got the painting d.i.y bug emma
🤣 were on the final stretch 🤞🙈
Amazing. May I know the name of the colours you have used in the bedroom, please?
Hi all the colours should be mentioned in the description box 👍
Good progress! Could you just wrap a piece of black electrical or duct tape around the white plug?
I hd thought of that but you would still see the front. I think I will just paint the bits that you can see (which are away from any of the socket/electrical parts) 👍
Yay emma hills video
Cover the plug with black electrical tape!
Hello lovely can I ask where your black plugs are from x
I will add the link to the description box, apologies I thought I already had 👍
Looking soooo goooood😍😍😍😍😍
Hi Emma which Alexa plugs do you use?
They are from Amazon, I have just added a link in the description box to the exact ones 👍
You may be able to wrap the smart plug with some black electrical tape
Lovely! 😍
Spare room coving looks really great. I feel like I almost saw too much of Simon though!! 🙈😂 Our house had some terrible fake coving in some rooms that we replaced with similar to what you’ve done and a more decorative one in the hall. The one you’re putting up in your hall looks really lovely. Why not use a Hive bulb for the lamp? That would solve the problem for the plug. Loving all the recent content so much 😘
🤣🙈 There should have been a warning at the start of the video 🤣
Emma Hill haha, I think he just wanted to give us a surprise! 🤣
😁😁🤣🤣
Simon Creasey 😆🤣
Hey can you please let me know what flooring you have through your house?
Its a laminate from Tapi Carpets 👍 I can't recall the colours but they are no longer available, sorry.
We call it crown molding. My home is over 100 yrs old...installing crown...was the only time I have ever seen my husband lose his temper during a reno...lol. Needless to say...my bedroom is crown moldingless!
🤣🙈❤️
Everything is looking very good 👍🏽👌🏾
Thank you ❤️
All brilliant! Why not use black electrical tape to cover that pesky white plug?
Can you wrap some black electrical tape around the outside of the white Alexa plug?
I ended up covering it in masking tape and spraying the outside so it blends 👍
@@EmmaHill I’m a year behind in your videos, so my suggestion comes way too late anyway 🤣
Wrap the socket in black electrical tape.
I'm here to listen to you say "caulk".
❤
We also do renovation home 🤗
Hola Emma 😓😓👏👏👍👍💪💪🌞🌞🐶🐶😚😚
