The best thing I ever found in a second hand shop was the hand made bear that my mum made for me when I was a baby and I lost at the age of 3 in a completely different province. We moved across the country (Canada, so it's a big country) and 19 years later I found the bear that my mother had made for me! I bought it for 25 cents, and compared it to old photographs and showed it to my mum who agreed that it was in fact the same bear that she had sewed when she was pregnant with me! I have no idea where she was for 19 years, but she looked like she was untouched from my childhood. That fridge is beautiful, thank you for sharing this video!
Oh my goodness, this story is incredible, what a miracle! It's made me so happy to read this. That's a one in a BILLION find 😍And in a different province too! I wonder where your bear went on vacation?
This is the most wholesome story to wake up to omg 💞✨
Wooooow. That’s such a special story. 🥰
Awesome story Jennie! Canadian vibes . Cheers from rain city ;-)
@@HermioneChantal The strangest part (stranger part?) is that the province I found the bear is is neither the one I live in or the one I lost her in. She was lost in British Colombia and found in Ontario. I live in Quebec, and was only in Ontario for a visit.
My mum found my grandma's necklace (very intricate, unique piece) in a second hand shop. The necklace had been stolen from a hotel room in Berlin 30 years ago. Wild!
Wow! That's a story! :D
@@MituDjakarian more hope that I will find my necklace that was stolen 26 years ago. Thank you for sharing!
Absolutely amazing! If only her necklace could talk. I bet it has an amazing story to tell ♥️. Your Mom finding it was definitely meant to be 😊
What?!? At a thrift store? Find of the century!
Unbelievable. 😳

I’m trying to imagine the scenario that ended with that fridge at a charity shop! I picture a bad divorce and a soon to be ex-husband tossing out the pink fridge that has taunted him for years maybe? 😂😂😂
I have wondered the same thing. Who would get rid of something like that 😂 a disgruntled ex-husband sounds about right 😅 poor fridge!
Well, your version is so much better than mine! I instantly assumed it was just someone rich enough to buy a new Smeg fridge, with a bigger freezer, or perhaps a different colour 😂
That's also the only scenario I can see this happening! What an amazing find 😃
Maybe somebody had to move really quickly and didn’t have time to sell it and couldn’t bring it.
Good option but I also see someone who has money to burn and follows trends to the point they decided to ditch the pink or go with one of the styles that Justina Blakeney (@thejungalow) recently put in her kitchen. Personally, I’d rather have the Smeg.
You need to treat your grandma for spotting the fridge! I’m so happy for you! Great video.💕
Oh yes! Nan needs a big treat for spotting that precious item.
Absolutely! And I need to take her with me next time too 😂 thank you 💖
@@HermioneChantal she's certainly good luck ;)
I think that SMEG should send you a pink kettle and toaster for this free promo! Your kitchen looks amazing :)
#smeg
you order the Smeg logo replacement so I'd do that and stick it on the toaster !
So excited for you! If anyone’s meant to have a pink refrigerator it’s definitely you:)
That's exactly what I thought! It was destiny :D Now the whole kitchen looks perfect.
I literally GASPED when I read this title! IT LOOKS AMAZING, so happy for you!!! 💞
Love how giddy you are over this pink fridge, 🤣😂 Great way to start the new year Hermione! 🥰👍🏻
ME TOO!
I literally gasped when I saw her pink bunny slippers ;)
SAME!! I'm so jealous!!! It's lovely!!
I love how you made a whole video about this fridge 😂 honestly loved it though!
Her majesty the fridge needed a proper introduction 😂😂😂
It’s just a fridge tho, I don’t have a smeg but mine is big n has water dispenser ..
@@camsrosa997 I love how you first say its just a fridge and then humble brag about yours !
Maybe some narrow shelves either side of the fridge? Theyd have to be kinda understated or somehow match its majesty though. So gorgeous!
Love that idea, and you're so right about keeping them understated too (knowing me I would fill them with clutter though 😂 so I might wait and see how it goes first so the fridge has some time to shine haha) thank you for the comment
U shaped shelving in white around the fridge, but not as deep as the fridge. Then add a fancy....trim on the bottom part of the top cabinet/shelf area?
Yes! Something small - or even move the fridge to the left and narrow shelves or cupboard “pantry” to the right so that nook looks more intentionally filled. So pretty!!
Yes - I was thinking the same thing - something waist-height perhaps - so you can still put magnets on the side - was also thinking the Ikea Raskog trolley or similar (white, not too much junk on it)
@@jenniferh3111 I was thinking the same. Also put the fridge a little bit out to make it stand out. Better a closed cupboard to keep the shopping bags and other eyesore things.
Wonder if someone’s boyfriend moved in and said the pink fridge had to go, “it’s me or the fridge” 😂 cause i would’ve said “ sorry but the fridge stays!!!”
👍🏽 totally! The fridge stays
Hahahahaha oh my god I would have done the same 😂 a very quick decision would have been made on my part 😂
I was thinking that maybe someone bought a house that had this fridge in the kitchen and when the new homeowner moved in, they got rid of the fridge that wasn’t their style.
Totally a man will never win over the pink smell fridge
i'd SCREAM if i saw that in a thrift store!!!
I almost did 🙈 haha!
I saw this the day you posted about this on Instagram! I flipped out and screamed my excitement for you in the comments immediately, then told my partner very excitedly even though he had no clue who I was talking about. This fridge was the PERFECT find for you and I’m still so floored that the universe made it happen. 😩💖
Sameeee 😍😍😍
OMG yay! I remember this comment it made me giggle so much😂 💖 thank you for the comment too! I can't believe the stars aligned and the universe let it happen but I'm so glad 😭
I feel like this is a one in a billion find! I’ve never in my life seen a Smegg anything in a thrift store lol. Incredible find, Hermione!
Never thought I would watch a video just about a fridge but here we are 😀 Looks amazing in your kitchen 👌🏻❤️
Hahaha never thought I would make one either, what has 2020 done to us all? 😂 thank you for the comment 💖
"I hope my camemberts okay,' LMAO such a mood xxx
The fridge is beautiful it's totally your aesthetic you hit the thrift store jackpot
Very beautiful kitchen. Would love a Smeg fridge one day!
Your Nan deserves a treat for tipping you off. What a fantastic find!
I think she does! she's got a great eye 😃
I need to shop with your Nan as my wingman. She’s awesome 😁
This vlog is probably the cutest u ever done ! It made me smile a lot watching you so happy and taking good care of this pink fridge. Thx a lot for this peaceful moment 💕
Love it so much! Looks brilliant - I'm still sad that I didn't buy some rattan curved shelves I saw in the charity shop just before lockdown!
Your happiness is contagious. I can't stop smiling 😁 Everyone needs happy days like this! Congratulations!!
Definitely a one in a million find!!! I can't believe you found it and it works. I can't imagine why anyone would donate one. Very good luck you have!!! 💕💕💕
Goes to show that 2020 has taught all of us to value a great moment! I watched the entire refrigerator video and was celebrating with you! It looks great in its new home!!
Omg, it looks amazing 😻 it suits the house beautifully, and your style, being pink, congratulations 👏
Nan has done it again, and this time with her eagle eyes. She knows you and loves you. Together you’re the luckiest, and coolest duo ever.
Wow what a fab find, your grandmother need’s some cake or flower’s. Your pink smeg fridge look’s like it has alway’s been in your kitchen.
I bet you smile every time you walk into your kitchen. Great start to the year, so happy for you 💖
BEST FIND EVER!!! Excellent way to start 2021!! Well done on running into the shop and scooping up that Pink Smeg beauty!! Consider adding that larger art print (then add another one to the wall above the plants) above the pink Smeg fridge! And consider adding thin rolling shelves beside her for extra storage! Or you could add a hook to the side wall next to the new Smeg to hang your prettiest shopping bags - maybe some pretty pink shopping bags (with other bags stuffed inside for shopping)?? Cheers!
Isn't it just the best start to the year? 😀 thank you for the ideas! I'll keep them in mind if I do some extra bits to the kitchen sometime. I definitely need to do something about the shopping bag situation, I love that idea!
Wow that was the most amazing find in a charity shop ever! I'd love to know the back story to the person getting rid of it. So kind of them to donate it as well rather than selling it.
I also loved Jennie's comment about being reunited with the teddy bear after 19 years. Incredible.
OMG!!!!! You've obviously been a very good girl this year. That is awesome!!! Congratulations!!!
I adore you and your videos. And the fridge is to die for!! It makes the whole kitchen.
That’s such an amazing find. Smeg fridges always look so good! Especially that colour!
Beautiful fridge. Suggestion. Could the fridge be moved to where your coffee cup cabinet is? It seems so far from your sink work area. Think the coffee cup cabinet would look good tucked in that corner where fridge is now.
Having the fridge in front of the radiator does not seem to be the best solution.. ;-)
😂 your hilarious love how excited over pink finds. Glad got it worse when someone already bought what you want😭
Hahaha, 2020 has left me excited over a fridge 😂 omg that is the worst I get so upset
Oh my god. With the plants and the prints (and squeeeee the perfectly color coordinated magnets!) it just looks so GOOD! It’s not even my kitchen and I just kept saying ‘oh my god, it’s perfect’. I know it’s tucked in the back, but it gives a whole new amazing view of the kitchen! Haha, you’ll have to do videos with that in the background now, it’s just too perfect. 😍
I love how excited you are 🥺 you’re looking beaut hermione ♥️
This is incredible! To find any smeg appliance at the thrift store would be crazy but one of their fridges? Wow! And only £250! You hit the jackpot girl! How awesome!
Also, I think the fridge should definitely be styled to be the highlight of your kitchen... not sure where it could go but I’m sure you’ll play around and find a spot where it can shine as soon as you enter the kitchen!
That fridge is so beautiful!
Happy you found this. It gives the rest of us hope to keep looking. We’re doing a garden room in the spring and I’ve set my heart on having a retro looking fridge freezer to match the kitsch look I’m aiming for.
i smiled throughout this entire video out of pure excitement for your kitchen.. This looks sooooo good
She's a beauty! She deserves her own area, so the location is perfect!
So pretty! I’ve been dreaming about the smeg fridge since forever!! 😍💕
Oh wow! Love that Smeg fridge, you are so lucky to have found it in a thrift store of all places! I live in the USA and there would never be something this awesome here, I would have to pay a huge price for one here. I love how your kitchen turned out it it is so cute and love the pink accents of things. Thanks so much Hermione for sharing and Happy New Year to you. Sending love and hugs and I will see you soon, bye for now.
That is the cutest fridge! What an awesome find, especially considering how expensive these Smegs are! Also, when you mentioned BTS in Wembley, I got so excited!! I was there for day 1 as well!! Cried through the entire firework show at the end 🤣
This is absolutely adorable! I'd love a pink fridge lol. Pink and purple are my fave colors. I adore thrift stores here in the states. One never knows what may be found. Good find ! Enjoy! New sub ! Love your channel!
Oooh mine are the same favourite colours 😀 I miss the thrift stores in the states (I used to live there every summer for work and the Goodwill was so good!!) 💖
I love Smeg appliances, but they are expensive in the States. I may go for a toaster perhaps. Way to go , and yes it is one in a million find at such a good price.
Me too. A light blue would look so nice in my kitchen, but I cannot afford the $2-3k plus price tag!
That looks amazing! Love the way you did it with the prints on the wall and the plants!
Your outfits are so cute! Your slippers and white tennis skirt is so very 2020. Loving the little cropped cardigan as well! What a find in that beautiful fridge 😍 xx
So happy for you! I literally clicked on the vid and out loud said "omg and it's her fave colour too!" 😭💗
I liked this video before even watching it oml I’m so happy for you (and slightly envious 😂) 💜
Hehe thank you! 💜 😂
That fridge is beautiful!!! What a wonderful find!! Love u. Hope you had a great holiday!
this is the prettiest minimalist kitchen i’ve ever seen!! & the pink fridge just adds the cutest touch. you’re lucky to have found it! it was meant for you. i would have loved to see the inside
Thank you for such a lovely comment it’s put a big smile on my face 🥰 I can’t believe I forgot to show the inside but I did in a recent video called “my thrifted home” as an update x
OH MY GOD I've never been so excited by a refrigerator in my entire existence 🤩🤩💕
That’s the best fridge ever! I love it!
Ooooooooo !!! What an amazing fridge. Those prints are so colourful and cool !!! I’ve been looking for a Smeg appliances for years and years and can’t find any. What a find Hermoine !!! 💕💕💕
How cute is your kitchen!! I love the pink💓💓💓 Your fridge is to die for. I just love it 😍😍 have a wonderful day, Laura 💕💕
“I hope my Camembert is ok” - the most middle class comment ever! Ha, love it. The fridge looks amazing. Can’t believe your charity shop finds, they are amazing. ❤️
Best find at the charity shop: two Hollywood Regency bedside tables and matching tallboy, two crystal lamps to go with, and a cherub lamp and candle stick. All 60s, for 185$ in total.
You are just like your Smeg fridge! Illuminating everything arouond you...(never thought pink, white, and natural tones with plants works so well together)
I am way too happy for you about this!! It's so YOU. AND I LOVE A BARGAIN ARGGGH ❣️
I've grew up with that fridge, my aunt has the exact same one and a matching washing machine, its beautiful 😍
That fridge screams your name!! It's so pretty!
Your pink fridge is gorgeous. I have wanted one for awhile. You got a great deal, because they are pretty expensive. I love ❤️ your kitchen and all it’s warmth. Keep up the good work lady 🥰
What a find! Looks absolutely beautiful in your kitchen. Waiting to see the inside and how you style above the fridge!
This fills my heart with hope that my next amazing charity shop find is around the corner!! I did once find a pastel portrait of a ballerina for a friend that was by a semi well known artist!!! $15 and was worth $750
I love the fridge! I priced some online and had a mini heart attack at the price. That is a wonderful find!
I had the same thought when I looked online! 😱
Nothing is better than a clean tidy kitchen, congrats on the find of the century! Much love from California ❤❤❤
Ouaou!Hermione!great buy and great fridge!Have a Happy new year!...with a very nice pink fridge!!❤️❤️❤️
No way I’ve always wanted one, well done you x
My husband bought me a blue Smeg toaster for my Christmas! Just love it....looks gorgeous next to my pink fridge!
OMG what a fantastic present! The pink and blue go so nicely 😍
Ah! You are so lucky!
Your kitchen is amazing!! Absolutely love it 💜
Gorgeous find! I love it sooo much. Well done Nan for spotting it! ❤
Haha reminds me of my excitement of finding a huge original Lee Reynolds painting, framed, for $60 in a thrift store. I bought it before even thinking through whether it would even fit in the car.
OH MY GOD what a find!!! That's got to be the best find ever? Who would have donated that. Also I do the same about fitting things in the car, where there's a will theres a way 😂
Oh that's so lucky but so you it's just perfect hermione
This video has really cheered me up! I love your new fridge and you so deserve it! I love your house, it’s beautiful 💕
Wow! Fantastic find and a great up lift for your kitchen. Well done! 😊
Is it me or is this nook screaming “DIY SMEG built in”?
I'm with you:)
HOW CUTE
Perfect in every way! So happy for your find!!
What an absolute dream find❣How cute of Nan to just mention it when you got to the car~ Happy New Year Hermione and family 🎉
OMG. No way!? 😱 That’s awesome! 💗 I mean does it work and everything? Honestly I wouldn’t even care - I’d just keep books in it or something. 😂
I'm just curious: could we scoot it up a bit and place it against one of the walls in that cut-out and then add a storage shelf or something beside it?
Or the plant would look great beside it!
very cute. i really like the cool retro vibe of the prints.
Hello Hermione, I love your videos which my daughter put me on to a few months ago. Your uplifting videos always make me smile and inspire me to do some DIY mini projects myself. I’m an expat living in Northern Canada . Although I’m limited in my ability to do big projects you have made me realize that smaller projects can bring you joy too. Thank you for brightening up my days and allowing me (along with many others ) to go along with you on your exciting journeys into beautifying everything you touch. You are so very talented! 🥰😍🥳
I can’t honestly believe that they are that much money! Don’t get me wrong it’s a classy appliance but jeez! It’s honestly shocking that’s over £1000 you definitely got a bargain there xx
Right? They're quite costly brand new, I don't think I could justify a new one 😱 such a bargain x
*I painted pink my fridge. It's cheaper* :p
Same. ☺️
Didn't know you can do that! Cool!
Wow, so happy for you Hermione, what a wonderful find! I think my favorite thrift find has to be a brown, knee-length, leather trench coat that I found for $1 on the all clothing is $1 weekend at the thrift store! I don’t wear it too often but it fit me perfectly and is such a beautiful piece.
Your kitchen is my absolute favorite room in your house! And that fridge is amazing, so happy for you! I would have snatched that up so quickly! ❤️
I’ve always wanted a Smeg fridge but in teal! I love the pink one! What did u pay? They are so expensive! I would be so giddy as you are! Haha! I was so excited for you, I didn’t wait to hear what you paid! Deal of the century.
£250 🤗 she says at 3:45
Ooooh the teal one is gorgeous!! And I really like the look of the orange too 😍 it was £250, but brand new they can be around £1,500 😱
Put it in the corner at an angle :)
I absolutely adore your kitchen 😍 ❤ and congratulations on such an unbelievable find!
what a great score. You rocked the sett up of the kitchen! It is the best find ever!
fantastic price. It is a one in a million find. Happy New Year!
12:55 I spy bt21!
🥰why don’t you try it diagonally in the corner? Just a thought 😊💫
Yes I thought that too!
I’ve been waiting for this video since I saw your Instagram story. What a wonderful find!!
I can't imagine anyone getting rid of a SMEG refrigerator! Let alone a pink one. I love pink like you do, as a matter of fact your love of pink is what drew me to you in the first place. So yes, best find ever in the world!!! 💗
Your kitchen is litterally my kitchen goals! Plus I am in LOVE with the rattan desk you thrifted.
My Grandparents have had a pink smeg fridge for as long as I've known (so at least 18 years which is pretty impressive for an appliance!) I have always loved it and it suits your kitchen so so well!! I love how it reflects a pink glow on the walls.. so pretty
I LOVE it - soooo cool and suits your home perfectly 💞
Wow!!! That’s fantastic!!!! It looks really beautiful!!!
