Your home is YOU! There is no higher compliment coming from me. I am mid seventies and have never owned a home on purpose. I have decorated each and every space I've lived in and have no regrets. Where I lay my head is my home and I will make it as comfy and as much me as possible. I have done this for me and my family and that is all that needs to be considered. All my landlords appreciated me and gave me singing praise as I moved on. As the saying goes these days, "you do you!" What a treat to tour your home. Hugs from Toronto.
Bravo to Homeworthy for bringing us not only a collection of great interiors, but a collective of incredibly talented, warm, openhearted and just lovely, lovely people like Katherine! Thank you very much! xx
Homeworthy is showcasing more and more eclectic and interesting homes with witty, genuine, artistic people. It is a pleasure to enter their spaces and share an hour or so with them. TY 💕
The talented Ms Ormerod not only possesses charm and resourcefulness but a depth of cultural intelligence that's often missing in these visits. What an absolute delight!
One of my favorite episodes to date. She really loves her home regardless of who “owns” the property. Her honesty and transparency is a breath of fresh air!
What some people do not understand is that although it may be someone else’s house, it is your HOME. I love how you made everything so beautiful, cozy and yours
I now have a new mantra for life. Embrace imperfections and live now. What a refreshing look at what home means and what you can create with imagination, creativity and on a budget. Probably the most stylish, visionary and cosy home I've seen. Katherine is incredible.
Wow. I have absolutely loved this tour. I watched it twice. The first time round I was obsessed with the hostess and her beautiful hands (that may comes across as a bit creepy, but I am a photographer and she is perfect for portrait and her hands are so beautiful) so, had to watch it again, to take in the the true details of her home in the video. She‘s incredibly gifted to be able to do things herself. I tried several times at my own rental and messed things up so badly, that I had to call in professionals. I have had to finally accept, that I can decorate my home but DIY is not my forte which is super limiting. Thank you, Homeworthy, has has been such a treat.
What a charming woman who has done so much in her rental. She's has worked so hard to make such a beautiful family home all their own. Fantastic in every way!
This was a delight. Katherine is best friend material and her home is unique, charming, comfy--much like she is. I really enjoy home tours that demonstrate the intimate connection of those who live there to their space rather than simply a show and tell of all the expensive, new items consumed during countless shopping excursions by the occupants and/or their decorators. Katherine's method produces a home with a heart and soul. Well done!
This home tour was absolutely amazing. Her rental philosophy and final comments about how she defines a home are to be paid attention to. Just saying! 😂❤
One of my favourite episodes! I will go back to this video to study it again and again! Amazing woman, so inventive and positive! Thank you homeworthy! Thank you Katherine for sharing!
I love the way she made a whole lot of things in her home. It gets kind of boring sometimes people on home tours oh I had this shipped from Paris so I bought this in Africa on one of my travels🤣 . There’s nothing like the feeling of creating something yourself you appreciate it more😊💚😊
Yeah, the thing about Paris is very boring. Mainly if it comes from the Americans (I apologise if you are) that believe anything from France will make them look posh or superior.
@@BrownyBird. I honestly don’t think that’s the reason: Americans are by and large just migrated Europeans, and were drawn to the beauty from “home.” There’s something comforting in the things of Europe that could have been our grandmother’s or great-grandmother’s. It’s driven by both appreciation of beautiful things and heritage, in my humble opinion.
@@annemurphy9339 Canadian here, so definitely not American lol, but we share that we are both from "the new world" so to speak. When I first went to Europe, I was staggered by the history and patina of things. I was lucky that I grew up in Montreal, one of the oldest cities on my continent, that has managed to preserve a lot of it's 18th century architecture, but for so many Canadians I know, Europe was their first experience with the truly "old" and "historic". For me, it's not about things from Paris being "posh". There's a reason why Paris is the most visited city on the planet - the devotion to superlative aesthetics in all it's forms that the city exudes is sort of spellbinding. I love sewing and textiles, and the fact that I could get near pristine, 150 year old fabric for a steal in one of their flea markets was just wild to me, and eveytime I look at what I've made from those fabrics, I'm transported back to those 6 days I was able to spend in the city of light (I was an art major in university, so visiting Paris finally at 42 was also a bit of a pilgrimage).
What a lovely woman and such an interesting home full of personal touches. Certainly doesn't look like a rental - lots of inspiration that people can take away.
Just wonderful! What a gifted, intelligent woman. We would love to see another video where you discuss art, etc. This is so much more interesting than any exhibition of huge expenditure. Thank you for allowing us into your home.
Your "better than what it was" is outstanding! So artistic and inviting and thoughtful but unpretentious. As a lifelong renter, unlikely ever to be able to own a home (and nearing 60) I have chosen to personalise every space I have been in, and created a garden that I have had to leave behind in every rental. Nowadays the security in rental in Australia has collapsed, and you are lucky to be able to stay more than 12 months in a home, and the rent will most certainly rise every year, but each place is still my home for the time I reside there. Thank you so much for your warm and generous tour of your space, and I can see why people like to stay for a long time!
Any child would be so lucky to have a Mum like this lady, she’s adorable! 🩷 Loved watching this video, she’s so engaging and fascinating. Another fabulously unique home Homeworthy.
I love her attitude, treat it as much your own until you get your own, minimizing your cost. Budget friendly “yours”! Don’t let negative na sayers affect your thoughts, it’s family first and as long as you all are happy, does what that say really matter, NO. Congratulations on a beautiful and warm home for your family in this market.
My top favorite Homeworthy episode thus far! I love how you have completely transformed a rental home with mostly budget-friendly hacks and DIYs while sensible to the fact that there is a naturally a ceiling to how much we can/would like to spend to decorate a rental. I very much appreciate the context on the housing crisis in the UK and the genuine presentation of how you live in your home.
Oh my gosh. I love this so much. I love all the color, the layers that I think the British do especially well in their homes, the DIY, all of it. Gorgeous, but lived in and not the least bit too precious.
I so appreciate her attitude about renting. Our youngest son wasn't old enough to buy a home before the prices got out of reach. I'll be sure to pass this video along to him.
Every now and then, there is a designer (professional or not) where the designer is one with her /his home. This little house fits this woman perfectly.
One of the best episodes ever! Real people, real houses, realistic budget. Thank you! Very inspiring episode! More content like this, please! Feeling highly inspired by this!
I love her philosophy of design and creative diy projects. With her great aesthetic, she created a lovely, interesting, and comfortable home for her family. Enjoyed the tour!
Katherine has done wonders with this house! I love the Ikea hacks with painting the lampshade and mirror frame. This episode is full of inspiration and ingenuity. Kathrrine has wonderful taste in colour and decor.
Well Katherine is by far the craftiest and most diligent renter I think Ive ever seen. That kitchen and bathroom makeover are quite stunning. Great job. The whole vibe is immensely cozy and is aesthetically beautiful and charming. I love it.
I totally love your creativity, great attitude and approach towards living in a rental property. I love how you made this space your own and invested in what makes it personal, livable, and a beautiful home for you and your family. Why do some people wait and live miserably, just because it it's someone else's place? When you live in it, whether you own it or not, it's definitely yours at the time. Make it beautiful and enjoy every day! You did a great job! ❤
She would be sooooo much fun to hang out with! God, how I wish she was my next door neighbor! And of course I absolutely love her sense of decor. Fabulous!🪴 And ….. WOW- that downstairs bathroom is stunning!🌞
What a great attitude, lovely decorated home and engaging hostess. I'm glad you worked on your rental so your kids have a positive experience of their childhood home.
Love her sense of color and style. Oh and use your fireplace if you want to! Don't worry about what others frown upon as it is you who are creating magic for your family with cozy nights around a blazing fire!
Thank You for speaking to the 90% of residents worldwide who do not own! Speak to your life and make it your own. And you have done it in this wonderfully curated home for you and family!! Seize the day....and tomorrow will take care of itself!! ❤
I love her home so much... and her! She was an absolute joy to listen to and has the best personality and perspectives. I admire everything she's done to make that place truly her own home.
Absolutely charming home. I love that you showed a "normal" home this time. What she has done with the home is so lovely. A family home with personality. Love it. I do the same, expensive taste and collect over time. Enjoyed sharing an hour with this lovely lady and her home.
I loved this tour and the hostess who shared her amazing creativity, design fingerprint, and fun outlook. She's obviously a wonderful mother. So thoughtful with her use of space, and money. I personally adore her collected style and the stories that make up her family tapestry. Thank you for sharing tours of real homes, real people, with real life challenges we can all relate to and be inspired by. Brava ❤🎉
Katherine is a darling! She and her home are beautiful and perfectly matched. A rental property is still your home, you are right. What a breath of fresh air you are. All your hand-made touches around your home are wonderful, a Jill of all trade's. Well done for creating an amazing family home for you, your partner and your little boys.
Love this delightful, self effacing, hard working and talented lady. The most striking feature is the consummate layering of love and joy throughout this home for the comfort of children, house guests and adults: the paper machier masks, the mouse castle, the scalloped and pennant trims, twig handles, the tickings and fat stripes, the Lisbon loo tiles....I heard her say the red thread is the terracotta and green....I find the red thread is Love ❤
This woman and her home are fantastic! I can totally relate to all that she did, ' cause I' m also constantly creating something to make my apartment more beautiful. And I also have a lot of ikea furniture. They last for such a long time - people would not believe. And you can style them up in so many ways👍 She did so well to create a real home for her boys and herself, I love it, it is amazing😃.Thanks for showing! All the best to her and her family and greetings from Germany 🍀😊
I could listen to Katherine all day, she's funny and super talented. I love what she has done to her home, she has a hidden talent. Well done, you have done an amazing job on this rental property !
She's like a grown-up English Amelie! I admire her cleverness and creativity. Love her house and it's nice to see a rental. I'm stunned that the laminate paint held up so well; that's great to know if I need to do something like that!
What a beautiful spirit Katherine has! Her home is absolutely gorgeous, I will be thinking about those blue and white tiles for a long time! Everything was so inspiring. I especially loved her comment about how this is her six year old's childhood bedroom, so it has to be special. A magical, charming, warm, inviting home, with personality galore! Thank you so much Katherine and Homeworthy!!
I can't believe you have Alexander Calder's print for the opening of the Los Angeles Museum of Art! My husband and I bought that decades ago when the museum opened. What a hoot, to see it all the way in London!
I rent in the Uk and I have actually the same attitude as this lady. I have a great relationship with my landlord and he has let me do what I want in the house as he knows I will take care of it.
L💖ve your home Katherine, it is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, philosophy, creativity, tips, and ideas. I got so much more from this video than a home tour. You are super special Katherine! I was born in South Africa, I lived in Cape Town for a few years & it was special to hear you have a keepsake from Cape Town. I am also Italian and beauty and design are in the very fibre of my being. Ugly spaces bring us down. We can all strive to make where we live beautiful, even on a budget. And now I live in Germany, so sending you and your family lots of love from here. Tschüss 🤗👏🌈🍓💒🦄🦋
I love your home and you are right, we tend to forget that we are living in the "now" and not the future and must make the most of what we have. That downstairs bathroom is simply stunning 😍
I'm from Spain and lived in London for 6 years, I never understood why the carpets every where, thanks for the explanation. Although I still don't understand why you would even put carpet in the bathroom….. What a wonderful personality Katherine, loved this woman and her special and unique home.
Rentals have a particular kind of cheap carpets, but generally homes have better quality carpet for warmth. It's quite a cold damp place in winter. Carpet in a bathroom is quite unusual these days, but it was common when central heating and double glazing wasn't.
Katherine is so refreshingly honest and kind in sharing her hacks and tricks for creating such a beautiful home. From such adversity of loosing her rental 3 years ago, what a wonderful outcome. Thank you for sharing this amazing story.
I totally agree with this lady - get a rental that needs cosmetics. Saves you rent, and you get to customize a place to look like its yours instead of a property management company's portfolio asset. And what I've noticed is that people who don't decorate their rentals don't do any better after they buy. They don't magically turn into a different people.
Very true. Why would anyone want to sit in a rental for years and do nothing to make it homely. Live for now and make life as comfortable as you can. We don't know how long we are here.
Such a soothing voice and pleasant personality. I also love objects. And the bathroom tiles are wonderful. Me too on fixing up every rental I have lived in. My favorite segment.
I have lived in a housing association flat for about 20 years, i.e. low cost housing cheaper rent compare to private rent. Painted it numerous times put down wooden flooring, created storage and a pantry. the only thing you cannot do is remove or add walls. Make your home comfortable as you have to live there whether you are renter or you own your home.
You're my sister from another mother. Listening to you speak, it's just how I work with my rented houses. I totally get you. I do the labour's myself and try and bring out the best in rented apartments until I can afford a house myself. Bless you! ❤
You are so talented. Your home is a home of an artist. Gorgeous! You proved that any house can become a stunning piece of heaven!! I love your colorful art. Thank you for sharing, love to see houses out of the United States, they have so much character and stories to tell. 🙏💕 Beautiful home!!!
The most wonderful and genuine personality I've seen on here. She was delightful to watch. Cute, cute, cute ... and her style isn't really my aesthetic, but just loved her attitude and humo(u)r and authenticity.
AS A BRITISH RENTER I THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART FOR THIS EPISODE
Hey Amanda how are you doing, Hope you're having a great day?
me too
Your home is YOU! There is no higher compliment coming from me. I am mid seventies and have never owned a home on purpose. I have decorated each and every space I've lived in and have no regrets. Where I lay my head is my home and I will make it as comfy and as much me as possible. I have done this for me and my family and that is all that needs to be considered. All my landlords appreciated me and gave me singing praise as I moved on. As the saying goes these days, "you do you!" What a treat to tour your home. Hugs from Toronto.
Hello Beautiful, how are you doing! Hope you're safe from the covid-19 pandemic?
Beautiful
You should add fabric to those doors like you did the bottom of the drapes….love your home…precious home…Thankyou for sharing. Hugs carolyn
Bravo to Homeworthy for bringing us not only a collection of great interiors, but a collective of incredibly talented, warm, openhearted and just lovely, lovely people like Katherine! Thank you very much! xx
Homeworthy is showcasing more and more eclectic and interesting homes with witty, genuine, artistic people. It is a pleasure to enter their spaces and share an hour or so with them. TY 💕
Might be because they've featured quite a few British homes recently. The style is different.
I love her. She’s such a lovely warm and friendly person and her home reflects that. I can see many happy memories for her kids being made here.
She’s wonderful, I love her honest approach to decorating, very refreshing to see someone so relatable. She’s created a beautiful home 👏🏻😍
A pessoa que consegue limpar e decorar uma casa não quer guerra com nimguem ❤❤
The talented Ms Ormerod not only possesses charm and resourcefulness but a depth of cultural intelligence that's often missing in these visits. What an absolute delight!
This is one of my favorite Homeworthy episodes. I love the home, I love the ingenuity,and I love lady of the house. She has a great laugh!
Give this lovely lady a tv show and a home to decorate. She articulates everything beautifully
I love her home but it's really her personality that kept me engaged. She seems like such a cool person.
One of my favorite episodes to date. She really loves her home regardless of who “owns” the property. Her honesty and transparency is a breath of fresh air!
This is such a great home. This woman is like a ray of sunshine. She’s such an inspiration.
What some people do not understand is that although it may be someone else’s house, it is your HOME.

Katherine is sooooo talented! Curtains, pillows, painting, what can't she do? And wonderful use of colour.
Hey Pamela how are you doing, Hope you're having a wonderful day?
What a fab woman! Great presentation skills, great personality AND great interior design skills!
This was a delight. Katherine is best friend material and her home is unique, charming, comfy--much like she is.

I like her attitude about perfection, not being everything.
Love her! What a wonderful, welcoming personality and it translates beautifully into the design of her home.
She's the type of personality to aspire to. and that tiny bathroom! I adore it!
I love this fabulous woman! She keeps it real! Beautiful decorating this rental! ❤
I love this woman! Her home is as cool as she is. I could listen to her talk interior design for days! ❤🇨🇦
This home tour was absolutely amazing. Her rental philosophy and final comments about how she defines a home are to be paid attention to. Just saying! 😂❤

I love the way she made a whole lot of things in her home. It gets kind of boring sometimes people on home tours oh I had this shipped from Paris so I bought this in Africa on one of my travels🤣 . There’s nothing like the feeling of creating something yourself you appreciate it more😊💚😊
Yeah, the thing about Paris is very boring. Mainly if it comes from the Americans (I apologise if you are) that believe anything from France will make them look posh or superior.
@@BrownyBirdno apologies my dear it’s ok I don’t get easily offended 😊
@@BrownyBird.

Can’t say enough! Love love love!!! Cozy, tasteful, fun, interesting, full of personality…love the color palette…WOW!!! ❤️❤❤
In love with your home, art, colour choices and creativity. You have created a haven for your family. 💚🏚
Fabulous apartment and I too when rented took care of the place as if I owned it, I was the care taker.❤❤❤
Ich lieeeeeebe die Frau, so kreativ, ehrlich, sympathisch und witzig. Wunderbarer Geschmack, außergewöhnlicher Mensch ❤
Just wonderful!

This lady makes me want to be more creative in my home ,love all her DIY projects ❤
What a lovely lady. Enjoyed a glimpse into her charming home.
She is the genuine article! I hope she one day has the joy of owning her own home and knowing it's permanent with any colors she wants! ❤❤❤🎉
A huge fan of Katherine and what a joy she and her home is.
Love this, beautiful, thoughtful, curated and collected, my favorite! ❤
Well Katherine is by far the craftiest and most diligent renter I think Ive ever seen. That kitchen and bathroom makeover are quite stunning. Great job. The whole vibe is immensely cozy and is aesthetically beautiful and charming. I love it.

This is probably my favorite episode from Homeworthy yet! Katherine is so so lovely and her home is gorgeous and lively just like her!
Your home is super lovely! Never listen to unhappy people! You are absolutely right to live in a beautiful home now! 👏🏾✨🥂
She would be sooooo much fun to hang out with! God, how I wish she was my next door neighbor! And of course I absolutely love her sense of decor. Fabulous!🪴
And ….. WOW- that downstairs bathroom is stunning!🌞
What a great attitude, lovely decorated home and engaging hostess. I'm glad you worked on your rental so your kids have a positive experience of their childhood home.
Love her sense of color and style. Oh and use your fireplace if you want to! Don't worry about what others frown upon as it is you who are creating magic for your family with cozy nights around a blazing fire!
Unfortunately lighting a wood or coal fire in London is illegal now. You can use smokeless coal or anthracite only.
Its illegal in London (clean Air act) unless you can make a fire from genuinely smokeless fuel.
My favourite house tour. Love the colours and the meanings. Many thanks for sharing with me.

Love the all stories behind the DIY projects, especially the Eames chairs. She has taken a rental and made it warm and homey.
Love Katherine, how she expresses her thoughts behind each decision. Such an incredibly hard worker and what a stunning result - chapeau 💛
Love this delightful, self effacing, hard working and talented lady.

I agree. I also live in Germany. Greetings from me. 👋😊
I could listen to Katherine all day, she's funny and super talented. I love what she has done to her home, she has a hidden talent. Well done, you have done an amazing job on this rental property !
Definitely my favourite video of all the ones I’ve watched from you. Love it!
Oh my Katherine what a treasure you are. What a sumptuous treasure you have created! Thank you for sharing & sparking so many things to explore.
“Home …..a sense of peace”………the best definition I’ve heard. I love this home tour….lots of good ideas….very cute,nice,fun personality. 🥰
Been following her on Instagram for a while and lovely to see her home in full and her endearing personality shining through!
She's like a grown-up English Amelie! I admire her cleverness and creativity. Love her house and it's nice to see a rental. I'm stunned that the laminate paint held up so well; that's great to know if I need to do something like that!

Amazing job with those peel and stick tiles in the bathroom!❤
Thank you for your refreshing honesty, sharing your tips. I’ve been a creator all my life and love the finds and making beauty and fun spaces 💚
Such a beautiful home and Katherine is absolutely delightful.
L💖ve your home Katherine, it is so beautiful.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, philosophy, creativity, tips, and ideas. I got so much more from this video than a home tour. You are super special Katherine!
I was born in South Africa, I lived in Cape Town for a few years & it was special to hear you have a keepsake from Cape Town. I am also Italian and beauty and design are in the very fibre of my being. Ugly spaces bring us down. We can all strive to make where we live beautiful, even on a budget.
And now I live in Germany, so sending you and your family lots of love from here. Tschüss 🤗👏🌈🍓💒🦄🦋
I love your home and you are right, we tend to forget that we are living in the "now" and not the future and must make the most of what we have. That downstairs bathroom is simply stunning 😍
Absolutely wonderful! One of your best tours. A beautiful home curated by a beautiful human being.
You are such an inspiration, love your home!
I'm from Spain and lived in London for 6 years, I never understood why the carpets every where, thanks for the explanation. Although I still don't understand why you would even put carpet in the bathroom….. What a wonderful personality Katherine, loved this woman and her special and unique home.
Rentals have a particular kind of cheap carpets, but generally homes have better quality carpet for warmth. It's quite a cold damp place in winter. Carpet in a bathroom is quite unusual these days, but it was common when central heating and double glazing wasn't.
love this video and thanks for the 'wall of art' suggestion!
Katherine is so refreshingly honest and kind in sharing her hacks and tricks for creating such a beautiful home. From such adversity of loosing her rental 3 years ago, what a wonderful outcome. Thank you for sharing this amazing story.
I totally agree with this lady - get a rental that needs cosmetics. Saves you rent, and you get to customize a place to look like its yours instead of a property management company's portfolio asset. And what I've noticed is that people who don't decorate their rentals don't do any better after they buy. They don't magically turn into a different people.
Very true. Why would anyone want to sit in a rental for years and do nothing to make it homely. Live for now and make life as comfortable as you can. We don't know how long we are here.
Such a soothing voice and pleasant personality. I also love objects. And the bathroom tiles are wonderful. Me too on fixing up every rental I have lived in. My favorite segment.
What an amazing woman. Great outlook on life which has helped her to create a great space
I have lived in a housing association flat for about 20 years, i.e. low cost housing cheaper rent compare to private rent. Painted it numerous times put down wooden flooring, created storage and a pantry. the only thing you cannot do is remove or add walls. Make your home comfortable as you have to live there whether you are renter or you own your home.
You're my sister from another mother. Listening to you speak, it's just how I work with my rented houses. I totally get you. I do the labour's myself and try and bring out the best in rented apartments until I can afford a house myself.
Bless you!

You are so talented. Your home is a home of an artist. Gorgeous! You proved that any house can become a stunning piece of heaven!! I love your colorful art. Thank you for sharing, love to see houses out of the United States, they have so much character and stories to tell. 🙏💕 Beautiful home!!!
The most wonderful and genuine personality I've seen on here. She was delightful to watch. Cute, cute, cute ... and her style isn't really my aesthetic, but just loved her attitude and humo(u)r and authenticity.
Well done . Sensible attitude to renting . It is you and your family’s home . It’s lovely and your dress is gorgeous 🎉
