I am in love with a house I first saw 30 years ago... It came empty about 10 years ago, and has decayed more and more. I have no hope - barring a miracle - of ever buying it and restoring it and living in it, but I can't stop dreaming about it. Back to watching Kirstie live my dream a few years after first stumbling on this series. I watch anything with Kirstie in it (add Phil and I'm in UA-cam heaven). I grew up in a family that bought a few run-down properties and fixed them up for rental as apartments. It's in the blood. I've got the practical aspect down (walls, plumbing, electrical, carpentry). But for making a house a home, Kirstie is the pal I'd want to go around with as the house spoke to me and told me what it wants and needs and how it wants to look. I do believe that houses speak to you, they tell you their style, the right arrangement of furniture, the colors. Kirstie totally gets that, and she has the taste and contacts and verve to get it done beautifully. How I long to unleash my inner Kirstie on that house of my dreams... Why do the wrong people always have the money in this world?
I could listen and watch her for hours non stop ..I discovered Kirstie when I moved to the uk 2 DECADES AGO..same with the other delightful home cook Nigella , those British show / personalities are so special ..bliss
Brilliant, love all this!! my mission has become street finds things for free and its amazing what you can find and yes items which are treasures for oneself and paid a bargain.
This woman's voice is like a crow with a sore throat. Its nasal and vocal fry at the same time. She needs to learn to breath and have some depth to her voice. I can't listen to her.
I just love Kirstie. This show is amazing, every minute is so enjoyable. I look forward to watching the rest of the series. I’m one happy lady from NW Alberta , Canada
Enjoyed this very much. In 2009 She along with another family, bought and restored a house in rural Devon called Meadowgate, which had been empty for 39 years.
I completely share your philosophy about "skipping" (what we in NY call "dumpster diving") and have gotten some great pieces. Sadly, I have to fight tooth and nail with my spouse to be able to bring such things home.
I love the idea.......unfortunately many of us cannot afford to pay artisan craftsmen to do fixtures and fittings, hence the reason for buying run-of-the-mill from the High Street Kirsty !
Charity shops and garage sales have very cheap furniture and decor. And you can learn to make many of the crafts yourself. Nowadays, we have youtube that you can learn any skill from. So there really is no excuse. High-street also isn't that cheap.
@@acmulhern You are entirely right in what you say. I once made my own clothes & I did basketwork, spinning & weaving. As I am an artist I painted household things too but I simply do not have the time these days to go to sales or searching round brocantes for bargains or make myself items due to being a full time carer . I wish I could do all those things again.
@JVSwailesBoudicca that's really nice and I hope that you will have the opportunity to do what.ypu love again in the future. Being a carer is all consuming and your loved one is lucky to have you.
Most of my appartements furniture in Germany was from the street and after some work, everyone loved my place for being so unique ! Unfortunately I had to leave loads behind after moving to Africa 4 years ago, but here i source in secondhand shops and online. Beautiful stuff, not for free, but worth renovating and enjoying !
Absolutely loved watching it all. It’s incredible, amazing and very tasteful and interesting. I loved your parents home. I’m in awe of all the beautiful craftsmanship that England has to offer. Well done.
I'm in awe too. I live in Central Europe, and I really doubt that I could say that within 30 miles of where I live (a major city) there are all the kinds of craftstmen and women - not to mention the wonderful second-hand shops and antiques fairs - that Kirstie has at her disposal. Dream, dream, though...
There was a one off episode on Channel 4 that had Phil Spencer going into a families house and helping them declutter and redoing all the storage in their house. It was great! I would love to watch that again.
Love the house and the furniture and to see all the handmade things a lot. But....this WOW thing is utterly degrading and disturbing, sorry. And what a pity you did not keep these beautiful green tiles at the fire place.
Have I got this right? She shops, hires people to do the work? Cute program but thought she would be a lot more hands on. Upolstering furniture costs a lot more than new, so most can't afford it as much as they would want to. Same with custom curtains.
You know she can't sew curtains and make wood tables from scratch in two days for free using items lying around her house, right? lol It takes years to do a lot of that stuff.
Thank you Kristie for sharing your adventure. I follow you with your crafts and Location, Location, Location. I’m sure you and your family are enjoying your home. I love a bargain too. 😃
Wow, didn't know Kirstie was from a very well to do family living in a castle basically. Although, she is not all hoity toity. I love watching her. I, myself, would have kept the fireplace green. It would have went with her kitchen!
Following Kirstie so far has reminded me of all the pleasure, fun, and amazing things I had and found, doing all the things she goes on about, and all my treasures I found in all of those same types of places across Canada.
It does seem very dadaist or possibly sadistic to sew big lumpy buttons that serve no good practical purpose onto a pillow. Here, just let me go bedazzle a rug with some spiky studs to match those spine-prodding pillow buttons.
I appreciate the different places you have visited and shown us where you take your ideas and inspiration from its so helpful.your kitchen is beautiful
Kirstie I'd love if you could make videos "how to"...I have so much to do and even to change a lamp shade o have to pay ..same to change the door handles to give a new feel , restaure the wood , the bathroom is such a nightmare as it's an old building with lots of "constraints" ..it costs so much money to have everything done these days ..the builder said their cost have gone up 70% !!!
I Loved this series and am very excited that its been put up. im also a crafter but she is really the one that made crafting fashionable, (We also share a name) just hope you put homemade Christmas up
Kirstie is great in entertaining. However as I can see she’s not DIY-ing anything by herself. She’s rather hiring artisans. And giving advices on second hand purchases. So it gave me an impression she’s just house flipper. Like her parents. This house she’s decorating is rather for selling, not for her personal living. As far as I know, she lives in Notting hill, London
I mean, you can get custom stuff and secondhand items for a house that you own. You don't have to make everything from scratch. Like I'm sure you didn't make your sofa from fabric and foam. You bought it from a store.
Kirsty Allsopp has the unfortunate ability to envoke childhood memories of a know it all bully who is rather unpopular, but is so self assured it really doesn’t matter to anyone,especially her.

Love Kirstie and this house, great design ideas, just beautiful!! ❤
I could listen and watch her for hours non stop ..I discovered Kirstie when I moved to the uk 2 DECADES AGO..same with the other delightful home cook Nigella , those British show / personalities are so special ..bliss
WOW! They sewed right over the pins! I have never seen that before!
I did dressmaking in school in the mid 70;s and we always sewed right over the pins,,,,
That was truly lovely and inspiring. ❤️
The finished kitchen is stunning.
Loving this! Can't wait to watch them all!!
Your Mother's kitchen is amazing.
Seen this before but still enjoyable
I keep coming back to UA-cam to see if there is anything new from Kirsty .. I have loved this show .. Can anyone recommend anything similar .
Brilliant, love all this!! my mission has become street finds things for free and its amazing what you can find
and yes items which are treasures for oneself and paid a bargain.
It really is amazing , this is the second time I’ve watched this video and I love it. X
Joyce Humphrey Love her style I can’t get away with it my husband throws away many of my finds, I love color and old things.
you've got to love it
This woman's voice is like a crow with a sore throat. Its nasal and vocal fry at the same time. She needs to learn to breath and have some depth to her voice. I can't listen to her.
But you took the time to write this nasty comment. I expect you are the life of a party, right! Not. Joy killer is what you are.
I really enjoyed this programme, I love Kirsty and her style.
Music much to loud.
I just love Kirstie. This show is amazing, every minute is so enjoyable. I look forward to watching the rest of the series. I’m one happy lady from NW Alberta , Canada
Pure escapism. What a delight and lots of inspiration to add substance to a home. Especially loved Kisrtie’s homemade dish.
escapism from your drab little life i assume
Im enjoying your show but have to ask why the background music is so very loud? It is distracting and muffles the speech of the presenters.
Would you be able to upload the homemade Christmas series. I've been looking for it for yearrss now 😥
At least it isn't me, i always check the internet every year looking for it.
I only can catch them when I’m in the UK visiting my family!
it is probably in the same place as your brain, gathering dust
Enjoyed this very much. In 2009 She along with another family, bought and restored a house in rural Devon called Meadowgate, which had been empty for 39 years.

Fabulous. I love your philosophy of handmade, recycle and reuse.

Kirstie, please remove your scarf before you throw any more pots, bowls, cups, etc. !! Safety always.
WOW, love the parents' home! Just beautiful
Absolutely gorgeous Kirstie and well done for being so eco friendly
Kirstie is such a hottie. Lol. Any else find her unbelievable.
Why are series 2 episode 3 to 6 showing as private? I really want to watch series 2 ep 5
What other home and lifestyle shows would you like to see on the channel? Make sure to subscribe for more!
There was a one off episode on Channel 4 that had Phil Spencer going into a families house and helping them declutter and redoing all the storage in their house. It was great! I would love to watch that again.
would love The Great British Sewing Bee or great Pottery throw down
Love the house and the furniture and to see all the handmade things a lot.
But....this WOW thing is utterly degrading and disturbing, sorry.
And what a pity you did not keep these beautiful green tiles at the fire place.

I agree. She’s very much lacking any DIY skills. As she said she’s very good with shopping and hiring
We has a chair and ottoman reupholstered it was much cheaper than buying new
You know she can't sew curtains and make wood tables from scratch in two days for free using items lying around her house, right? lol It takes years to do a lot of that stuff.
@@Kevin-sm8pn This is true. I have renovated a few homes with the emphasis on sweat equity, but this gal just picks up the phone. Anybody can do that.
@@seaside2001 It's just a personal preference. I don't see a problem with either.
Love the idea of flowers and the used of tape to secure design! Will certainly use this idea. 🇿🇦
I enjoyed this series so much ... Please bring us more of the same .
Will do! Anything you'd like to see in particular?
@@therealdealshow can you find antiques road-trip? (Not roadshow). Or manor house rescue (I think it’s called?)
Thanks for the uploads!
Thank you Kristie for sharing your adventure. I follow you with your crafts and Location, Location, Location. I’m sure you and your family are enjoying your home. I love a bargain too. 😃
Kirstie is as beautiful inside and out as what she creates. Thank you for presenting these delightful episodes. Bravo and encore. Please don't stop.
Wow, didn't know Kirstie was from a very well to do family living in a castle basically. Although, she is not all hoity toity. I love watching her. I, myself, would have kept the fireplace green. It would have went with her kitchen!
This is very refreshing compared to all the do-up-your-house videos where everything is same same!
Love the transformation Kirsty. Definitely my style of decor.
I wonder why she didn't acknowledge cath kidston is her cousin. 😂
Following Kirstie so far has reminded me of all the pleasure, fun, and amazing things I had and found, doing all the things she goes on about, and all my treasures I found in all of those same types of places across Canada.
I would love to see how you would design a craft room.
rich parents have a lovely home
Why oh why would you put big black buttons on a cuhion. Most uncomfrotable
It does seem very dadaist or possibly sadistic to sew big lumpy buttons that serve no good practical purpose onto a pillow. Here, just let me go bedazzle a rug with some spiky studs to match those spine-prodding pillow buttons.
What an awesome family space. So beautiful as usual. Love it all.
I appreciate the different places you have visited and shown us where you take your ideas and inspiration from its so helpful.your kitchen is beautiful
So wonderful. Giving me some new ideas.
Where does Kirsti buy her fantastic rings
WOW KIRSTY I LOVE YOUR STYLE VERRRY MUTCH
Awesome! Kirstie ROCKS!! 😊

Here in S Ohio we have yard sales, auctions, and flea markets. The last two can be very expensive. I'd love to visit a market like that!
Kirstie, I absolutely LOVE your kitchen! Just let me know when to come over! 😉
How inviting and beautiful. Love Kristie's personality and the journey she showed to create her beautiful kitchen👌💕💖💠
what personality? she's an airhead
@@dingopisscreek You are obviously a mean spirited, small minded little troll. Go back to your troll hole.
If only my dad was a Baron
WHY oh my G all the time!????????????
So beautiful! I want one too
Very nice, thank you .
I Loved this series and am very excited that its been put up. im also a crafter but she is really the one that made crafting fashionable, (We also share a name) just hope you put homemade Christmas up
What a charming tv show!
I like everything there except the wow on the wall and the buttons on the pillows.
Iconic
What amazing fun
Great concept.
I enjoyed this channel .I love it .see you in my last video
Oh, that Aga, though. 😍

I love your kitchen. It’s more about family than all the modern appliances and gadgets and surfaces.
bollocks to family, give me the gadgets
I love British design.

Liz Raper 😂 I know exactly what you mean, even though she seems lovely!
She’s actually really nice in real life. I’ve met her three times and she’s really lovely
the only thing unfortunate about her is that she is given air time to produce this drivel
Be careful there, your jealously is showing.
From USA and I love Kirsties shows all of them. British TV is delightful. ❤
Same! Nashville here!
Nice programme, ruined by excessive ads interrupting every few minutes.
