    HOW ARE WE ALL DOING IN THIS HEATWAVE!? Genuine question: do you sit and watch these vlogs or do you listen to them in the background? I tried to CHAT lots more in this one with less 'montage' footage but I'm also conscious that I include a lot of overlay footage in vlogs and I'd love to know more about your watching habits so I can tailor the vlogs to suit the majority of you! Lots of love on this sweaty arse day and thank you so much for being here on this lovely cozy house journey with us! xxx

      listen in the background, and then stop to watch whenever i hear instrumental music and assume a montage has started😅

    🙌 I don’t know what it is but this vlog’s Tommy Takeover just exuded Dad energy. Obviously you have Pan and the one on the way but Thomas was really out here giving advice like he’s in his 40s/50s and I’m a wee 17 and moving out on my own for the first time!!! 😂 - and the advice is very much appreciated!!!

    Turning boiler down now, I had it on max! And I’ve been complaining for months that the hot water is too hot too quick. Thank you Tommy takeover 🙌

  • @nomansland309
    @nomansland309 2 роки тому +106

    I've got to admit that the Tommy takeovers are quickly becoming a favorite feature of mine! The random, silly realness that comes out of your husband is refreshing and HILARIOUS 🙌😂. Plus useful, we need a DIY Dad to tell us how to do the random shit! Lol

  • @marybchristine

    I love the idea of a “Tiny Rituals for a Happy Home” video! That would be so sweet, and nice to see how you’re making your house a home as a family!

  • @pretentiousmoi6953

    I love your channel, as have watched it since Uni. My husband-soon-to-be and I are emigrating to Ireland next year, and just listening to you & Thomas speak makes me feel comfortable with the life shift. Thank you for your real content.

    Mel, your office!! It’s really coming along. I know you’re going to be so inspired working in that beautiful space.
    PS-Thanks for the shots of toddler feet and hands lol. I think toddler feet are the cutest and so are their little hand dimples! That’s one of the things I miss the most about my nephews being littles. They’re 12 and 14 now. It’s gone by SO fast.

    Soem tips: we are renovating our house now, and we chose those dark brown floors for our first floow, which is psrtly under ground. There, it fits well. Howeeeever, we're now not sure we can have the same floor all over the house, as we have really big windows upstsirs, which might result in really hot floors when it's sunny, but also that the floor moves more if it is oftwn heated and cooled down - consider that.
    When it comes to green colors, choose something more brown and grey than you would think, as brighter greens will give that "sea monster green"-feeling, and make you want to repaint the walls in a couple of months 🙈

    I’m five minutes in and I’m loving the ad/ colab vibes you are bringing. The honesty around the colab and how it helps your budget and what you are doing for the store is so transparent. Social media can be such a highlight reel that people forget that a lot of influencers only have what they have because it’s sponsored.

    I loved this Tommy Take-over! Also, I just enjoy your vlogs so a combination of whatever makes you feel the most comfortable. Watching them is like catching up with a friend, there is something so comforting about them. Thank you for continuing to share snippets of your life with us.
    P.S. Your yawning was 100% contagious, but thats okay by me since I'm off to bed shortly anyway

    So cool to see how involved you guys are with your Reno’s! You see so often UA-camrs end up just hiring other people to paint and decorate etc and miss out on all of this process! Really loving the vibes your office has so far, it’s really coming together and the new living room will be so cozy and dreamy! Can’t wait to see what’s next 💚

    Pro tip: if you mix some French lentils in with the Quorn it makes a delicious Bolognese or Taco consistency. The lentils help bring a meatiness to it, while giving you a good serving of fibre and protein.

    As always your video is full of warm energy 💕 it is very nice to get a glimpse into your and your family's life. And I am absolutely down for the house content!!! Even though still am a student and nowhere near to buying a house or appartement it is really interesting to see what kind of things are to be considered when renovating... makes me dream 😅

    The education about the different flooring was so helpful and I desperately want to make a trip to National Tile now.

Hope you and the family are well!

    I love following your journey because I feel like there are so many similarities in our journeys. My partner and I also bought a house this year. It was built in 2001, so it's a bit newer, but it still needs its repairs and updates. Seeing you make steady progress with your place gives me validation because sometimes I'm like "Gah! Why can't we be done already!? Why is it taking so long!?" I was laughing at Thomas when he said one of his projects took longer than expected because I swear, that's all I hear my partner say - "This took way longer than expected!" Anyway, I admire you and Thomas for the project you're taking on with this beautiful home.

    I loved the whole video... but again think my favorite part was the Thomas takeover. Also, I would comment the high 5 emoji but we have a gas hot water heater I believe? And I have never once touched it and probably should not play around with it 😅
    The fireplace looks so lovely and I'm so excited to see all the progress on the house :)

    I have a question, are wet room bathrooms a thing in Ireland? I lived in Korea for 5 years and wet rooms are basically standard, even if there is a tub in the bathroom, I mean it's so standard that there are slippers that can get wet to protect your feet from the wet floor at the entrance to every bathroom in Korea, lol, and bath mats are never in the bathroom but placed just outside the door, lol
