I love the shelves where James said. And I also like the idea of an open shelf under the upper cabinets. And I am so glad you did all drawer's down because it is so much easier than bending down and reaching for the back!
Just an idea... but why don't you guys move the Christmas tree to the opposite corner (where the tv used to be) and then you can fully set out the sofa? 🤷🏻♀️
“L” shaped shelves in kitchen corner. Snug room needs to be a playroom. You will love having all baby girls stuff in there. Plus you can shut the door when not using and no one will see the mess.
Grey,white,black hard cover recipe books would look so lovely on top of those cupboards. A ceramic white or matt black jug up there with dried poppy seed heads in there. I think a tan coloured sofa would look stunning!
I have just got out of self isolation. It's really tough but I found trying to learn different things really helped me not get too down. e.g sign language, hair braiding.... Hope your okay ❤️
Ive just started feeling down and lonely this week and i havent seen my kids for mounths they are grown up older than James And Carys. They chear me up cant wait untill you have your baby girl i hope you will give us a talk all about the birth 😍😉😘😜
The painted snug door looks amazing! I agree with James’ idea for the shelf, the kitchen is really nice, it’s making me want to renovate mine! IG: dedgecumbe
Love the new kitchen setup so far. ❤️ You can get a transition strip specifically made for if there is a bump up or gap between hardwood and tile. They are not that expensive and you can colour match the hardwood/laminate flooring. It makes the floor flush so there is nothing to bump ur foot or vacuum/broom on.
2 accent chairs in the living room space in front of the window with a small table in the middle and small rug underneath would look good ☺️ (move the piano) xx
The house is looking amazing , love the kitchen . An idea for the snug / playroom / or the sofa in the kitchen area is a sofa witch has storage underneath. It would store so many toys etc , Next have lovely corner ones but I’m sure other places have them also . I had one when my daughter was small and it was so worth it . Sorry Carys I think James is right about the shelves . Stay safe and enjoy your Christmas with your family Xx
Turn the small room into a craft room/play room/study space/office space. Basically a space you can be together as a family to do fun stuff that might be messy like painting or making random things and drawing but also a space for homework. a space you can maybe work in while taking care of the baby but use it later as a chill play/study/creative space @viewsinscotland Instagram ♥️
Definitely need to add some trailing plants to the shelves! I also think you could get some hanging plants for a corner and suspend them from the ceiling - it would look amazing!! You could get macrame hanging pots?? Xx @amalie.lg
You have both done an amazing job with your house - I would put the floating shelves next to the windows and put plants on top of the kitchen cupboards plus some artwork on the wall near the kitchen table.
Just a thought, I know you guys wanted the piano in the main living room but maybe putting it in the smaller room would be better? Could then put a chair and side table in the corner where the piano was. IG: liv_oleksiak
The kitchens looking amazing so far, can’t wait to see it complete! IG: _zoefleetwood Also I think having the shelves on both walls as if they where corner shelves would look good but if not I think the same wall as the TV (sorry carys) 😂😂 xxx
You should totally do a window seat in the lounge! Do a bench with a cost mattress and some pillows! It would be a great reading nook and it would tak up as much space! That’s an idea🤷🏼♀️❤️
Loving the new kitchen.....a proper family space ❤👪🏼 Can't wait to see it finished off 🙌 On a less positive note....received my lovely merchandise today and ripped into it like it was Christmas only to find it was black when I ordered pink 😪 Waiting to hear from them but don't hold out gone for replacement as so popular they are probably all gone. Such a shame as it's amazing quality 👌 Xxxxx
Sorry Carys i think James is right with the shelving, i feel like it would be symmetrical with the TV and i feel that the window is already such a feature it would unsettle the feature of the window
I would either put shelves in that corner (L shaped) so you both get it the way you want and you could mix decor w/dishes on them, or do shelves where james said and art on the wall you wanted them! Also in the lounge where the old sofa is, maybe you could put a plant or some tall pampas grass in a vase from the floor in the corner and either a blanket basket &/or some poufs (so they fit under the window but still take up some space) Love the way your home is coming together!! tiahnastrait
A dark green/navy velvet sofa in the kitchen!! With the amber/brass tones omg omg (way too invested in your house because I haven’t got my own yet haha)
Defo the shelves where James suggested, and then maybe a picture/one of your canvases on the wall where you suggested! Could even be in a wood frame if you wanted to bring the wood colour in, or warm colour thread on the canvas? Would be lovely in your eyeline as you walk into the kitchen xx lovveee your cosy vlogs atm
Too funny! In the US we keep eggs in the fridge and potatoes in the pantry. I think a gorgeous black wrought iron chandelier in the kitchen would look fab
Hope you both keep yourself busy in the 8 days, I had to shield for 4 months and it drives you insane! Keep well mentally I know it’s only 8 days for you guys but it is hard. ❤️
So looking forward to seeing how Carys styles the kitchen, would love to see some wicker or wood baskets on top of the cabinets which could tie in the warmth from the lovely wooden table. @aegbell
Definitely agree with James about the shelves. I don’t think pendant lights would look quite right in the middle of the kitchen. They look great over islands or over tables but I don’t think they would work with your pitched ceiling.
After discovering the most revolting forum in existence, I have decided to do my bit to counter the nasty, disgusting, sickening negativity floating about by liking 20 of your videos and commenting on them all. You deserve EVERYTHING you have in life and you are both beautiful, wonderful people. I hope you never ever let sad, sick, lonely, unwell people affect your shines. Lots of love X
I think where the couch in front of the window/radiator is you should place a little chair and table for a cute editing area or a day bed. Could also just make the piano on a diagonal visual making it a centrepiece of that side of the room :)
I have a little suggestion about the front room what if you put the side table under the big window and left the corner beside the tv with a lamp or plant it’s just the room may look longer or more like all the furniture is against one wall just a suggestion of course. Loving the house :))))
in lounge christmas tree in the middle of the window so people can see the tree from the outside too, new couch all the way over in the corner all completely put together. move tv unit straightened out.. deff use the room as a snug get baskets for toys baby can play with downstairs so it’s still put together but the baby has a place to play while you have a place to relax
Random kitchen homely decor thought - perhaps at the end of the top units (where the dining table faces) you could have a trailing plant hanging down? Plants are always a nice way to feel homely rather than showroomy
The kitchen is coming along so well! James needs to get the glass spice jars that have labels on the lids for his drawer! I have to say I’m on James’ side for the shelf placement since the shelf sticks out longer than the cabinet, you could get another set of shorter shelves and do both and connect in the corner! @gabbyosteen
I love that big window 😍 So much more light in the kitchen! Also I like the new vibe in general, better flow u know 🤔 Don't know how to say it but I was getting kind of a "tube" vibes before 😅 like stepping into a Pringles can 😂😅
kitchen looks amazing x i would of deffo kept that smaller room as a Tv snug, it such the perfect size and space for a cosy tv room and had the bigger lounge as more of a kiddy family space as she'll prolly wanna run around in the bigger room anyhow. Dont know why people say you have to have a playroom, i used to just store the toys in the bedroom/ living area in nice looking ottamans.
“Bulletproof sofa” is the new “my sister and her fiancé who have been living with us since before lockdown” and I love it 😂 @amy_thompson97
🤣 so true
My favorite quote is "I'm just gonna sit here and be pregnant" LOLOL
Mine too, I nearly said the same. 🧡
I love the shelves where James said. And I also like the idea of an open shelf under the upper cabinets. And I am so glad you did all drawer's down because it is so much easier than bending down and reaching for the back!
Just an idea... but why don't you guys move the Christmas tree to the opposite corner (where the tv used to be) and then you can fully set out the sofa? 🤷🏻♀️
YES!
Couldn't you get L shaped shelves? It hits two birds with one stone! They'll run right around the corner, and look seamless.
IG:megan.whitla
love this idea!! that would look great xx
“L” shaped shelves in kitchen corner. Snug room needs to be a playroom. You will love having all baby girls stuff in there. Plus you can shut the door when not using and no one will see the mess.
I love it imagine how nice a black or white SMEG toaster and kettle would look in the kitchen 😍😍😍
That was my thought 😍😍
Yes!!
Shelves where James said, art on Carys's wall. Then you'll see some cool art when you enter the kitchen! @fern_jackson
Oh! Such a good idea!
Grey,white,black hard cover recipe books would look so lovely on top of those cupboards. A ceramic white or matt black jug up there with dried poppy seed heads in there. I think a tan coloured sofa would look stunning!
Do "L" shaped corner shelves that go on both walls
Yesssss
yes totally 👍
I was going to suggest this also!
Do the kitchen shelves on both sides of the wall! Like an “L” shape shelf unit @nikioutside
The window in the kitchen is crying out for a window seat😩😩
That small room off the kitchen is crying out to be a playroom area!
I’d leave nothing under the window in the lounge! It would make the room look too messy if you have so much furniture in that room :)
It would also be a cool space for a play area! Stick a wee mat down.
Definitely James' idea for the floating shelves! Absolutely loving your videos x
self isolation got me feeling down so seeing the notification for this video pop up really made my day
Just know you are not alone love! I’ve been feeling really down as well.. Stay strong and hopefully the world will be back to normal soon 💕💗⭐️
@@lisazara__ exactly ! Were all in this together❤️
I have just got out of self isolation. It's really tough but I found trying to learn different things really helped me not get too down. e.g sign language, hair braiding....
Hope your okay ❤️
Ive just started feeling down and lonely this week and i havent seen my kids for mounths they are grown up older than James And Carys. They chear me up cant wait untill you have your baby girl i hope you will give us a talk all about the birth 😍😉😘😜
@@lisazara__ thank you love xx
The kitchen is looking so good, so exited to see more house reno from you two, and I think the self should go were James says💗💗
The placement of the couch and tv in the living room is my favorite! So much more cozy, and less cluttered feeling!
Imagine the tree on the opposite corner, they slide the other piece of sofa in so it’s all complete, and move that tv unit 😍
OMG YESSS!! 😻
I'm with James on the shelves 😁
Definitely agree with James on the shelves! I love a long vlog 😍 Anyone else not skip at all? The kitchen is looking amazing ✨
“We know what we’re doing...DECKING
. HOT TUB. DINING AREA. BUILT IN TRAMPOLINE” made me laugh so much 🤣
@zoewatret
The painted snug door looks amazing! I agree with James’ idea for the shelf, the kitchen is really nice, it’s making me want to renovate mine!
IG: dedgecumbe
WOW.... your kitchen is going to be so nice...well planned...sitting at the table eating and watching TV..xx🎄🎅👍👍
This is the earliest I’ve ever been. I saw 5pm and thought “maybe they will have posted a new video” 😂😂
I love the way James just looks at carys when’s she’s talking 🙈
Lozzzm_
Love the new kitchen setup so far. ❤️
You can get a transition strip specifically made for if there is a bump up or gap between hardwood and tile. They are not that expensive and you can colour match the hardwood/laminate flooring. It makes the floor flush so there is nothing to bump ur foot or vacuum/broom on.
Think the “sung room” would make the perfect play room for the little one, or little ones x
I agree
Oops! Meant snug!
2 accent chairs in the living room space in front of the window with a small table in the middle and small rug underneath would look good ☺️ (move the piano) xx
Definetly James’ idea for the shelves! Merry Christmas you lovely pair! Thanks for your happiness in our life boosts! 💛
Put a toy chest infront of the window in the lounge, it could be used as a seat aswell if you put a cushion on it xxx
I think James shelf idea is more practical, it will look more proportion to the kitchen. Who else agrees ? @yexesilvaaa
The house is looking amazing , love the kitchen . An idea for the snug / playroom / or the sofa in the kitchen area is a sofa witch has storage underneath. It would store so many toys etc , Next have lovely corner ones but I’m sure other places have them also . I had one when my daughter was small and it was so worth it . Sorry Carys I think James is right about the shelves . Stay safe and enjoy your Christmas with your family Xx
I feel like a shelf above the picture window in the kitchen with some trailing plants would add a focal point and some warmth
Omg some Golden pothos would look EPIC!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 and theyre easy to look after :))
Feing Shui says windows are the eyes, never put shelves over windows.
Yes such a good idea! And defo should go for golden pothos, I have several and they are not easy to kill (unless overwatered)🙈
Is it just me who finds watching how people store stuff in their kitchen SO fun to watch? Your vlogs always calm me down so much hehe!! @hantoseland
Loved it 😊
Kitchen looks stunning!❤️ Antraciet is one of my fav colors😊
Stay safe and healthy!❤️🙏🏻 xxx
Turn the small room into a craft room/play room/study space/office space.

@viewsinscotland Instagram ♥️
The shelf should go above the unit, I agree with James
I'm with James for the shelf positioning, and the units are looking great!
Definitely need to add some trailing plants to the shelves! I also think you could get some hanging plants for a corner and suspend them from the ceiling - it would look amazing!! You could get macrame hanging pots?? Xx
@amalie.lg
I think James’ side for the shelf, as to not take anything away from the window as it is the focus piece!
IG: @annabelwelch
James is definitely right about the shelves lovely kitchen it’s coming on great!
Kitchen is looking beautiful, agree with James with the shelf situation, love a long vlog!

Mila is just the chilling like 'nothing to see here guys, just a cute girl having a nap'
You have both done an amazing job with your house - I would put the floating shelves next to the windows and put plants on top of the kitchen cupboards plus some artwork on the wall near the kitchen table.

You should totally do a window seat in the lounge! Do a bench with a cost mattress and some pillows! It would be a great reading nook and it would tak up as much space! That’s an idea🤷🏼♀️❤️
"I'm just going to sit here and be pregnant" can't wait for this excuse one day 😂❤️ Hope you're both doing okay!
@rosiewilliams98
Love how the house is coming together, and for the shelving I think that Jameses version is the better one ♡
@val3eria.la
Hello from Washington State!!🌲💐🌹
The “temporary counter top” actually looks really cute!
IG: @tyasiablake
I didn’t get a notification for your video today but I’m so glad I was on your Instagram ❤️ @_mia_cutler_
Loving the new kitchen.....a proper family space ❤👪🏼
Can't wait to see it finished off 🙌
On a less positive note....received my lovely merchandise today and ripped into it like it was Christmas only to find it was black when I ordered pink 😪
Waiting to hear from them but don't hold out gone for replacement as so popular they are probably all gone.
Such a shame as it's amazing quality 👌
Xxxxx
This is quite literally the perfect Carys giveaway! i feel like you should win hehehe lol @zoevitawarden on insta xx lots of love to you all.
Sorry Carys i think James is right with the shelving, i feel like it would be symmetrical with the TV and i feel that the window is already such a feature it would unsettle the feature of the window
A dark grey sofa would fit in so beautifully with your kitchen, you can get nice scandi style ones where the legs suit the wood on your table etc x
My favourite notification🥰 love you two so much, can’t wait to watch this🥺🤦🏽♀️
Insta: missellienorton

Love how the kitchen is turning out!!🤍
I love this update so many amazing ideas you have xx
Sending you both lots of love ❤️, the most wholesome couple of all time
Loveeee the new kitchen!! Can’t wait to see when it’s fully done 😍😍❤️❤️
Love how u both get organized love it all love you both and for your baby girl
Omgg guys you have done an amazing job, I love the transformation! Well done 🤩
I think a lovely big clock would look beautiful above the long window in the kitchen. Think it would look lush! X
A dark green/navy velvet sofa in the kitchen!! With the amber/brass tones omg omg (way too invested in your house because I haven’t got my own yet haha)
I LOVE the idea of pendant lights in the kitchen
You and James with that fridge is legit me and my bf when we got ours 😂 months on we still love it 😂😂😂
I absolutely love the new kitchen ♡
Definitely think a big Thomas kent clock would be amazing on the wall above the big window in the kitchen😍
I'm loving your kitchen and all your ideas for the home!. I will say that the space under the window in ur tv room i would save it for babe stuff.
Instagram myrhanda1
WOW 🤩 looks gorgeous ‼️🎉🍾🥂. You’ve nailed it. Looks beautiful 😻. 💐🌟
😍😍😍love the kitchen so homely already!! Carys pleeeease tell me where u got the drawers from I need it in my life😭😭😭🥱🥱
Ignore the last 2 emoji they crept in😒
Love watching the progress of the kitchen and getting inspo! 💕 @blazesbb shelves should go unit where James said.
Defo the shelves where James suggested, and then maybe a picture/one of your canvases on the wall where you suggested! Could even be in a wood frame if you wanted to bring the wood colour in, or warm colour thread on the canvas? Would be lovely in your eyeline as you walk into the kitchen xx lovveee your cosy vlogs atm
Add a couple plants to the kitchen and it will make it less cold feeling. And a runner rug down the kitchen towards the picture window.
Too funny! In the US we keep eggs in the fridge and potatoes in the pantry.
I think a gorgeous black wrought iron chandelier in the kitchen would look fab
A wrap around brass brackets similar to your cupboards with glass shelves would look amazing in that coffee nook
Where did you get your tv bracket from? And what size is the tv? Love it xx
Hope you both keep yourself busy in the 8 days, I had to shield for 4 months and it drives you insane! Keep well mentally I know it’s only 8 days for you guys but it is hard. ❤️
have you guys concidered april whitticker sounds lovely ? x
kimberleyscott_
So looking forward to seeing how Carys styles the kitchen, would love to see some wicker or wood baskets on top of the cabinets which could tie in the warmth from the lovely wooden table.
@aegbell
Or if u did the shelves both ways one on james wall and one slightly higher on carys wall?
Love you both and the kitchen looks amazing xx

Love the new kitchen and I definitely feel like that room will be a brilliant play space!!
Boorooxox
Love how the kitchen is turning out!! @she_was_loved_beautifully
Love the idea of the play room!
I have a little suggestion about the front room what if you put the side table under the big window and left the corner beside the tv with a lamp or plant it’s just the room may look longer or more like all the furniture is against one wall just a suggestion of course. Loving the house :))))
A pendant light over the dining table would be lovely ❤️
in lounge christmas tree in the middle of the window so people can see the tree from the outside too, new couch all the way over in the corner all completely put together. move tv unit straightened out.. deff use the room as a snug get baskets for toys baby can play with downstairs so it’s still put together but the baby has a place to play while you have a place to relax
tv unit looks really good above fire place!!!
The kitchen looks so good, can’t wait to see the end result!!! Xxx

Where your counter top has some overhang, you should definitely put a plant there once the new counters are in ☺️ xx
