the plant in your bedroom by the radiator - depending on how often you have the heating on it may make the plant very unhappy to be by a source of heat!! only mentioned as the bottom leaves looked a little wilt-y. pls like so that James and Carys can see!
So a tip for the drawers, run a tea wax candle on the rails and wheels, and it should help them go in and out better so that way your paint doesn’t rub off!
I cut my husband’s hair all the time! It’s really easy. They have hair trimmers with numbered attachments that you can put on depending on the length you want. Ours came with attachments for around the ears, for trimming eyebrows, and it has a cape to keep the hair off of your husband’s clothes.
I did one of the "new you" home leg workouts today outside and I felt absolutely insaneeee afterwards - inside and out. Thankyou so much for creating such an amazing guide, its so useful (especially during this difficult time) to be practicing mental health swell as physical and the guide really helps encourage me to do that!! stay safe everyone xxx
Definitely the looped handles! Makes it look so classy rather than the knobs! Love how you’ve painted and sanded it. Proves you don’t have to spend silly money to make something look amazing 😊
If james is forcing you to watch Star Wars, a great compromise is to watch The Mandalorian on Netflix. I know nothing about Star Wars and haven’t seen any of the movies from start to finish, but i watched every episode of the Mandalorian and wasn’t confused on what was going on and thought i was funny and cute and Carys will enjoy it as well as James💗 Hope this helps, enjoy!
The Mandolorian wouldn't be a great alternative to Star Wars, down to there being no main characters,misses the story plot etc but it is a great show in itself so I'm glad you recommended it. A better solution maybe for Carys and yourself (if you want to watch the films that is) would be to watch the films but break each one up over a few days? That way it wouldn't be too much to take in all in one go. I did this with a friend who had never watched the films and they enjoyed it much better that way.
Originally thought the long handle looked better but !!!! The circular ones give it a more vintage vibe that your looking for, also !! Try the candles that crackle ! They are so soothing !
The anti slip rug for the bathroom ladder is a good idea. You should cut it to shape and then superglue to the bottom of the ladder so it’s not visible. Btw loving all the home decor/DIYvideos xxx
I had to pause so I could make a Star Wars comment. Carys, what do you have to lose by watching Star Wars?! A movie franchise that has been running for 40 yrs is definitely worth a watch. My husband was never into SW’s. So I set him up by watching Revenge of the Sith. It’s a great way to hook someone into watching all the movies, as long as they have a basic Star Wars knowledge. If you know nothing, Jon Snow 😏, I would recommend starting with Rogue One , then, A new hope, empire strikes back, return of the Jedi, phantom Menace, clone wars, revenge of the sith, the force awakens, the last Jedi, and finish with rise of skyWalker. And then if you’re hooked watch the mandalorian on Disney plus. Sorry I’m a huge Star Wars nerd! Give it a go, Carys! 🤗🤞🏼💙😘
Hi guys, I did exactly the same thing as James did when it came to the handles. I listened to you with your prep talk but when you walked into the room I was like "the handle isn't straight"!!!! But, have to say, your really good at what you do. Painting is on point, doing things like this is on point...is there anything you can't do Carys!!?? Great video and thanks for sharing. You two are cheering me up and not allowing me to think too much about everything. Thank you for that. Love you! xx
Yayy 💕 Im not stuck at home all the time because I work as a respiratory therapist but it's hard doing only work/laying around the house. So I love watching your videos ☺️
I'm finding fancy baked things online that take a few days and going "Yeah, that looks fun." A dobos torte, a sacher torte, and some apple hand pies later, I've been asked to stop by my husband. So should I switch to bread or pasta? I made pierogies last week, which turned out great and freeze really well, so bonus. This is the best time to get in the kitchen and try some new stuff. We don't have the "Oh, when I have time..." excuse anymore, do we? ;) Much love and I hope you and yours are doing well.
With the cupboard door in the hall upstairs, I think it would actually be better if the frame was white rather than the grey. And I think if you painted all the doors that grey colour, it would look pretty cool because I remember you saying in a previous vlog that you were unsure about the brown doors. I think the grey would work really well! (leaving the frames white though)
Loved the set of draws I would definitely go for the round black handles they will go so much better with the casters. Long days aren’t they Carys I am totally bored of cleaning my poor family never know which cupboard to find what in as I am constantly cleaning and changing them around . Love the storage ladder . Take care stay safe x x x
My boyfriend and I had a Star Wars marathon shortly after the stay at home order! Neither of us had seen the series in order so we started with Episode 1 and ran through them all, one movie per night. You should definitely do it if you haven't seen them before! And the black handles! You if you want some of the bronzy look incorporated, you could add bronze paint around some of the edges 🤷♀️
So wonderful to hear your parents are doing good recovering 💗 Love your videos as always, your DYI videos have inspired me to do some projects in my home. 🌸
If you put a plastic bag over the paint brushes it saves them and the paint last longer cause its sealed in the bag. Like one of the cooler bags or the little lunche bags. Once the part where the paint is on is in bag it eill last. Also love you guys
Black knobs for sure! Personally not a fan of the longer handles! Love the vibe of the little knobs though! Love you guys! Can’t wait for the next video!💕💕
you have to watch star wars! i grew up watching them and if you just get into it and have fun while watching them you’ll love it. the old ones are a bit cheesy but are classics and iconic!
I cut my boyfriends, his dads, his sisters and mums over the last few days! I only had cutting my own hair as experience and I’ve done a great job! No clippers just scissors !! - best thing to do is follow cutting men’s hair with only scissors tutorials it’s very simple once you get the hang of it ! Also document it if you do 😁😁♥️♥️
I think the brass handle shape in black would be nice! Think the black stud ones make it look more modern and take away from the shabby chic rustic look IMO. Beaut unit though, good inspo 😁
The Dresser came up great & at first I liked both handles , but when James pointed out that if you went with the bigger handles on the next drawers it would look cluttered I agree , so yes a smaller handle would be my pick .
You could do the longer handles for the top small draws and then smaller round ones in the same colour for the long drawers if you don't want it to be so busy but the long handles looked great xx
I think the black handles do look a bit IKEA-ish, like Carys said. I prefer the others, they are more true to the old school vibe of the furniture. Also you should paint all your doors in a dark grey. Would look amazing!
I like the black style of knobs if they were a bronzey color. Mainly because the wheels are dark brown with the little bits of wood that comes through with it being rustic. I do really like the long handle but i do think it would look odd on the bigger drawers unless you got a longer handle for those ones.
I would use the original handles (more unique) but I would spray paint them, maybe brass or black. If they are already brass, I'd try cleaning them with a tarnish remover.
Hello Fresh meals are awesome! My fiance and I get them every other week and it has helped us learn how to cook! The little tips and tricks they give you are helpful when grocery shopping for meals you're gonna cook yourself. Hope you guys love the meals as much as we do! ❤
Carys take the sticky drawers out, turn them upside down, and on the edges and tracks rub with a bar soap to create a slip and help unstick. If that doesnt work just sand those areas.
Give star wars a go 🌟 I used to have the same idea as you and now I'm glad iv seen them!! Also the black handles look cute, I'm with James in that one 😜😋
You could use the longer handles on the top drawers and the knobs for the bottoms one. Just spray one for which ever color you like. I think the black knob does look like ikea
Yes to Star Wars watching (but I am biased because I love them) the three newest ones you'll like in sure Carys and you can totally stitch while watching - I do xoxo
Defo the black handles/knobs.... It really looks beautiful, good job Carys. Its not IKEA ish at all. We are currently decorating our bedroom during lockdown so it's great getting motivation from you guys so thank you. Big hugs for mila, she's such a cutie 🐾 Stay safe 😊
For sure the black handles! The only Star Wars related thing I've watched is one of the most recent movies and The Mandalorian. I think that might be something I do with my husband is watch all of the movies, it'll be nice to finally check it off the list. I say give it a go and let us know what you thought!!
I recently watched all the star wars movies for the first time and loved it! I always put it off because "I don't like older movies" or didn't think it was for me but I definitely think there are elements of the plot that'll appeal to everyone like there is the action but there is also the family and love storylines mixed in too.
Definitely watch Star Wars - They are absolute classics, and you would definitely enjoy the Disney ones too! Loving your DIY projects, it’s really got me back into painting and drawing❤️ I’d say for the drawers - the standard black handles do look a bit like IKEA (shout out to Ikea which is amazing) but I’d say brassy ones or the other handles which make it abit funky!
Like half the population of the world I finished up work a week ago , so using this time to give myself a kick up the back side to do jobs I've been treating to do for a long time. Clean out sheads got to recycling centre and dump before we were in total lockdown over here ( Ireland) and bought paint for 3 bedrooms which one is finished. I'm absolutely exhausted 🤪. My youngest son gets up every morning and gets straight into his training and has convinced me to join him but lm not until next week 🙄. Love u both, best wishes to your parents
Loving your vlogs and the diy is amazing hun. I cut my boyfriend hair few times in the past and once he tried tickle me and I jumped cut his eye brow lol 😂 just saying never tried tickle me again with clippers in my hands . X
If you were to do the black single knobs I would do some smaller than the ones you had - they look a bit big for the small drawers. Otherwise spraying the originals black would also be very nice
Thank you guys for these vlogs, Keeping me sane! Lol. Love you guys sending love to you all, stay safe. P.s glad your parents are recovering well carys ❤️ xx
I think black- especially since you've mentioned wanting to have a lot of black accents in your house. It may match better
Definitely the black handles! Then you don’t have to do more holes ☺️
the plant in your bedroom by the radiator - depending on how often you have the heating on it may make the plant very unhappy to be by a source of heat!! only mentioned as the bottom leaves looked a little wilt-y. pls like so that James and Carys can see!
The black handles in a brass finish would look really nice!
Monique van Zyl Yes!!!
Why don't you spray the original ones black?? They would look lovely. Or just the black ones xxx
Watch Star Wars!! When my boyfriend and I started dating he kept trying to make me watch them, I caved and I love them now!!
So a tip for the drawers, run a tea wax candle on the rails and wheels, and it should help them go in and out better so that way your paint doesn’t rub off!

I love Star Wars! They’re really good movies with funny and lovable characters, definitely give them a go! X
If you’ve never seen Star Wars you must!! Now is as good a time as any, they’re fun. I watched through them in story order with my son this year.
You two are getting me through the hardest time of my life, so thank you ❤️
Would love you to FaceTime someone trying to guide you through cutting James' hair in a video! Think it would be so funny
Well... actually my boyfriend “forced” me to watch Star Wars with him, and I really enjoyed it 😅 give it a try Carys ❤️
22:28 has me dyinggg! As soon as he said that I was like “James really? She just told you this” 😂😂😂
Definitely the looped handles! Makes it look so classy rather than the knobs! Love how you’ve painted and sanded it. Proves you don’t have to spend silly money to make something look amazing 😊
I would put that ladder in front of the bath/shower where the heater is I think that would look cleaner/neater love you guys
the tiny shirt😂😂😂 I was like waaait is there something we dont know about😂😂💛💛
Watch it, watch It, watch ittttt! I never in a million years thought I'd like it.. One film later and I went on to binge watch them all 🤦🏻♀️😂
If james is forcing you to watch Star Wars, a great compromise is to watch The Mandalorian on Netflix. I know nothing about Star Wars and haven’t seen any of the movies from start to finish, but i watched every episode of the Mandalorian and wasn’t confused on what was going on and thought i was funny and cute and Carys will enjoy it as well as James💗 Hope this helps, enjoy!
Hey :) It’s on Disney + not Netflix xx
The Mandolorian wouldn't be a great alternative to Star Wars, down to there being no main characters,misses the story plot etc but it is a great show in itself so I'm glad you recommended it. A better solution maybe for Carys and yourself (if you want to watch the films that is) would be to watch the films but break each one up over a few days?

The anti slip rug for the bathroom ladder is a good idea. You should cut it to shape and then superglue to the bottom of the ladder so it’s not visible. Btw loving all the home decor/DIYvideos xxx
with the anit slip mat on the ladder cut to size and supper glue to the bottom
I had to pause so I could make a Star Wars comment. Carys, what do you have to lose by watching Star Wars?! A movie franchise that has been running for 40 yrs is definitely worth a watch. My husband was never into SW’s. So I set him up by watching Revenge of the Sith. It’s a great way to hook someone into watching all the movies, as long as they have a basic Star Wars knowledge. If you know nothing, Jon Snow 😏, I would recommend starting with Rogue One , then, A new hope, empire strikes back, return of the Jedi, phantom Menace, clone wars, revenge of the sith, the force awakens, the last Jedi, and finish with rise of skyWalker.
And then if you’re hooked watch the mandalorian on Disney plus.
Sorry I’m a huge Star Wars nerd! Give it a go, Carys! 🤗🤞🏼💙😘
The black handles I think! Love how it turned out!!
I'm not a star wars fan, but I know a lot of people are!
Stay safe and well! ❤️
Been obsessed with declutter and cleaning videos lately. But your videos are always addictive, never not watch one
Hi guys, I did exactly the same thing as James did when it came to the handles. I listened to you with your prep talk but when you walked into the room I was like "the handle isn't straight"!!!!

Definitely the black handles ☺️ look so much smarter 💕
I'm a hairdresser! 🤣 I would Skype you through it!🤣🤣
Honestly love these vlogs so much, they brighten up my day!💖
I think for the DIY a funky circular knob that’s a bit rustic would look nice! Just my personal taste of course. Love you guys!
With the cupboard door in the hall upstairs, I think it would actually be better if the frame was white rather than the grey. And I think if you painted all the doors that grey colour, it would look pretty cool because I remember you saying in a previous vlog that you were unsure about the brown doors.

Love the drawers Carys. Black knob looks best I think too x
These videos always give me so much motivation to do stuff. Hope you all are well, stay safe xx

Long days aren’t they Carys I am totally bored of cleaning my poor family never know which cupboard to find what in as I am constantly cleaning and changing them around . Love the storage ladder . Take care stay safe x x x
Oh my gosh I love that big painting you did for your room!!!
Definitely watch stars wars!🤩 They’re actually really good when you understand the timeline ect haha
My boyfriend and I had a Star Wars marathon shortly after the stay at home order! Neither of us had seen the series in order so we started with Episode 1 and ran through them all, one movie per night. You should definitely do it if you haven't seen them before!
And the black handles! You if you want some of the bronzy look incorporated, you could add bronze paint around some of the edges 🤷♀️
I’ve started watching Star Wars with my dad from the beginning and let me tell ya I am a Disney gal through and through plus loving Star Wars
The bronze handles for sure! Adds a nice vintage looking touch
So wonderful to hear your parents are doing good recovering 💗 Love your videos as always, your DYI videos have inspired me to do some projects in my home. 🌸

you have to watch star wars! i grew up watching them and if you just get into it and have fun while watching them you’ll love it. the old ones are a bit cheesy but are classics and iconic!
Loving all the diy. What do I use for your canvas embroidery and where did u get all of ur supplies
Annie Ryan wish she would do a bit of a how to video on this! 😫
I cut my boyfriends, his dads, his sisters and mums over the last few days! I only had cutting my own hair as experience and I’ve done a great job! No clippers just scissors !! - best thing to do is follow cutting men’s hair with only scissors tutorials it’s very simple once you get the hang of it ! Also document it if you do 😁😁♥️♥️
I would have painted a mid grey under the white before sanding so when you sanded that come through. Also black handles are a must!!
When painting and having a break clingfilm the tray keeps the paint wet🖤
I wasn’t keen on Star Wars before I watched them BUT I absolutely love them!
I think the brass handle shape in black would be nice! Think the black stud ones make it look more modern and take away from the shabby chic rustic look IMO. Beaut unit though, good inspo 😁
The Dresser came up great & at first I liked both handles , but when James pointed out that if you went with the bigger handles on the next drawers it would look cluttered I agree , so yes a smaller handle would be my pick .

Both handles look good but I personally prefer the black! ☺️ You’re so talented!! 😍
I like the old handles that was already there before you started to painting! 😊
On the small sideboard, I would do the little knobs on the top 2 drawers and than one handle in the middle on the bottom 2 drawers.
I think the black handles do look a bit IKEA-ish, like Carys said. I prefer the others, they are more true to the old school vibe of the furniture. Also you should paint all your doors in a dark grey. Would look amazing!
The vintage cabinet really suits your house, great idea how you've sanded it
I like the black style of knobs if they were a bronzey color. Mainly because the wheels are dark brown with the little bits of wood that comes through with it being rustic.

I really love the look of the long handle, but I think the color black looks better.. wish the long handle was black. Killer job! ❤️
I love it with the black knobs looks more rustic x
Hello Fresh meals are awesome! My fiance and I get them every other week and it has helped us learn how to cook! The little tips and tricks they give you are helpful when grocery shopping for meals you're gonna cook yourself. Hope you guys love the meals as much as we do! ❤
Carys take the sticky drawers out, turn them upside down, and on the edges and tracks rub with a bar soap to create a slip and help unstick. If that doesnt work just sand those areas.
A rub down with a candle will work as well!!
You could also do the top handles using the long ones and then the big drawers with the round ones (or other way around)
Give star wars a go 🌟 I used to have the same idea as you and now I'm glad iv seen them!! Also the black handles look cute, I'm with James in that one 😜😋
You could use the longer handles on the top drawers and the knobs for the bottoms one. Just spray one for which ever color you like.
I think the black knob does look like ikea
Definitely the black handles!! It looks amazing!🖤
don’t know what i’d do without your videos to take a break from reality these days!!! sending sooo much love from alabama, usa 💛🥰
“Two black knobs would be smart” “put the black knob in” ... 😂
The original handles sprayed black would look amazing! Love the original vintage ones xx
Yes to Star Wars watching (but I am biased because I love them) the three newest ones you'll like in sure Carys and you can totally stitch while watching - I do xoxo
Star Wars is amazing! The droids are legit so cute ! You would love the droids !
I love the bronze ones, I think it's a more vintage vibe xx
Definitely try spray painting the original handles black and see how they look!
I’m so so happy your channel is growing so quickly - you guys deserve it, fav you tubers x
Defo the black handles/knobs.... It really looks beautiful, good job Carys. Its not IKEA ish at all. We are currently decorating our bedroom during lockdown so it's great getting motivation from you guys so thank you. Big hugs for mila, she's such a cutie 🐾 Stay safe 😊

Put the knobs on the lower big draws, and the long brass ones on the top draws? That might look good💕❤️
I most definitely enjoy your DIY's!!!! They are both beautiful and quite the money saving tricks😘😘😘
I really like the black knobs and it’s very simple and smart xxx

You should get like a little ottoman for under the windows in your bedroom! Would look really nice and good for storage too :)
Black handles look lush, such a nice piece of furniture, love your DIY 😁
Black ones look really nice, will accentuate the the black wheels too 😁
omg yes to Star Wars, I've just finished my Star Wars marathon and loved it!!!!!!
carys honestly you HAVE to watch star wars!!!! youll love them i promise
I really love the bronze handles! A bit more vintage! 😍
Loving your vlogs and the diy is amazing hun. I cut my boyfriend hair few times in the past and once he tried tickle me and I jumped cut his eye brow lol 😂 just saying never tried tickle me again with clippers in my hands . X

I think you should use the original handles! That would look amazing! And paint it black if you really want the black handles.
Definitely watch star wars!! Best set of films out there 🌟 BB-8 and chewie are the best too!
Star Wars is the way forward tbh. I’m with James on this one!!!!!!
OMG you guys should do black board and batten in the upstairs hallways 😍😍 not the full wall, maybe 2/3 or half the wall 😁
