Hi Ashm, greetings from Plessala France. Not sure if you know this but when bringing old books into your home put them in a plastic bag and put them in the freezer for about a week. This kills any silverfish or moths larvae so they don't leave the books and invade your home and cause serious damage to your beautiful furnishings and your clothes.😊
Hi Asg, just finished watching your vlog, Mature aged gardener here. 😂 I loved your pots for your lemons, but you need to lift the trees up to the level of the lip of your planter. The original pot level where the stalk goes into the soils because as you have planted the now they are too deep and you have them covered below there original pot line and they will rot very quickly. Lemons are what are called Gross feeders so they need a lot or feeding throughout the year. Urea is good for them and if not available, the next best thing is human pee sound gross but if you ask us mature aged people they will tell you the best thing for citrus is go pee on the tree base and you will have the best trees in the neighbourhood. Sign of not enough food for the plants is yellowing leaves and flowers not forming into fruit. Good luck with your gardening.😊
I came to say the same thing! Planted too deep and roots will strangle the plant if not broken up a bit and straightened out at the root ball before being planted. I’d guess that’s why he’s had other plants (roses and hydrangeas) die in other videos.
Personally a mirror can never be too big for me as long as the wall can take the weight. It looks beautiful. I think it’s worth the money. I love everything about your house.
Ash, you know your white hydrangeas. If you cut them back late summer, early autumn. Next year you will have massive flowers. If you leave them the flowers will be nice but not as big xxx
I have my father's old books and have never put them in a freezer? Classics are always good to have and the wierd and wonderful. Dickens etc. If you comb charity shops you'll get a better deal maybe.
Great Bathroom Ash, fantastic coloring, mirror and lights! Whenever you pop up on my newsfeed, I so enjoy listening in to your repartee....as you expansively create a new look with such passion and aplomb. I could continue complimenting your fair appearance, and yet also wanted to ask about your musical choices...where please do you acquire them, which website? They always appear so deftly chosen.....and please keep sharing your great vlogs. Much love and great thanks...
No need to apologise for the open shirt. It is very attractive look! The mirror does not seem over-priced to me. It is very beautiful and perfect for the bathroom. Thank you for the video!
Just removing distemper paint from my entrance’s cornicing 😏 but taking a break I noticed you had a new vid out! A most welcome break. Great video again. Mirror is great.
Love the mirror! Do not put soil above the trunk of the lemon tree....note the placement of the pot it was in and do not go above that level with soil! The trunk will rot!!! Lemon trees are expensive! Google how to correctly plant it :). You have very good taste in furnishings and design and I enjoy your channel. Regards from Texas!
You need at least 2 more coats of paint in the bathroom and don’t forget to use filler on the holes under the light on the right side of the bathroom mirror. Love the style of the dark color and brass accents. Ya’ll have great taste!!
Reds are difficult. So much tint has to be added to the base that it becomes more translucent. Suggestion -- painting the first coat with a primer tinted as dark gray as you can get will save time and money (with a standard decent quality paint line)
Love the videos !! Your really funny 🤣 don’t know if you no that but you have little quirks when you talk that are just so funny and darling 🤍 also your brave painting in a white RL shirt
Two tips. Tint primer the same colour of any dark colour secondly never paint in straight lines . You will get uneven levelling of the paint and a less smooth finish. Paint in a W pattern.
Hi Ash 😊 loved your vlog as usual! Your mirror is fabulous French or not looks the part and I love pooky lights they are fabulous I first saw pooky lights on Josie Irons Chanel (love Josie and Charlie Irons) now while on that no age for doing gardening watch Josie lol love of her life her garden 🪴 my grandson is 13 he’s been gardening since he was 7yrs old grows all his own veg loads of it he knows more than me 😂 so no shame here you enjoy your garden we here love seeing it and your front garden transformation is beyond stunning and the pathway is beautiful! …….your bathroom the way you dressed it gorgeous the flowers really made it look so special Ash your making yours and Chads house quite something special! Oh and love your dog 🐶 🩵 have good week can’t wait for the next vlog!
I just wanted to say that - having mentioned the speed of it a couple of weeks ago - the tempo of your delivery now is SO much better .... thank you from those of us trying to find relaxing and beautiful spots to linger on on UA-cam ☺️ I do love yours and Chad’s overall style in your home too ..... however, Chad’s right in insisting on a proper office chair if he’s using it a lot - firms seems to have forgotten their H&S duty of care requirement in providing adequate and appropriate seating and desks in the rush for everyone to work from home!
Good purchase of the mirror - worth it! Question: the radiator in the background is white. Was this intentional? To draw one's eye to a utilitarian device as a sue-do accent item?
I love the books and the mirror. I think that was the cheapest you would have found them in LA. I don't know about it there, but you are very sensible in your decisions so I think you did well!
Probably worth spending the time to find books that mean something to you - travel, gardening, science, whatever. Also make sure to look carefully through each book for notes, bookmarks and even hand written margin notes. You never know ☺️
I’m convinced that you will change the colour quite quickly….. F&B have a fantastic new total flat paint ,,,, excellent and in your colour you have chosen,,,,would totally transform the shiny surface,,,, shows up every slight flaw ,,,, and unless you’re intention is to throw things about,,,I think you should give it a try .
Really enjoy seeing how your creativity is transforming your house… YOU are very talented! When you finish this project I hope we’ll see more of your work elsewhere. Would it be possible for you to list the colors and brands of paints you’ve used throughout the house? It’s truly lovely, comfortable and classic. I live in the US and discovered British colors are SO superior to ours! I’ll be following as things progress…. Learning right along with you. Thanks for sharing your journey throughout renovations and decorating with us!
Gardena gardening tools can be bought everywhere here in Germany.They are not cheap but of high qualhity. We have lots of them I thought it was a German company but I am not sure .
Hi, Beautiful lounge,🙌🙌. I like antique and vintage things. I just wanted to check if the antique items at the market are expensive🤔. How long will it take to travel from East London to the market. Please kindly share the details of the market.
You're a braver man that I am, Ash! I love your bathroom, but I don't think I would have had the courage to try such a rich color. It is sooooo elegant, though. Like a fancy old hotel!
@@ashmazzina LOL! Yes, with three coats of primer followed by three more coats of paint. I'm lazy and trying to save money, though - and God knows I've spent a fortune already on flooring, roofing, Saltillo tiles for my porch and patio, drywall and paint. I love your kind of home, though. As you can imagine, we don't have homes like that in Phoenix - and they probably don't build them like that anymore in London, either. Your home is stunning, Ash - and I dare say you're not bad, yourself LOL.
Lovely mirror and ideal wall lamps for the bathroom but please, and I’m sure I’ll get eye rolling responses from others, it’s a basin, a wash hand basin in bathrooms, not a sink! Just saying as in much of a polite, friendly way possible. You’re not the only one, I hear supposed officially trained interior designers making the same mistake. 🤪 Rant over 😆 I love what you do. 😊
I considered it, but it would have to be the whole house and I’m not too keen on having the hallway, dining room and upstairs hallway all wallpapered. The spare bedroom however…
I don't know how it's done in the U.K., but here in the U.S. local city libraries will often have book sales several times a year and you can get vintage hardcover/leather bound books for pennies on the dollar.

I had the same thought when he was planting. Suffocating the tree!
Plus not breaking some the soil off of the original plant before potting. Good for the root. Agree he planted it too deep. Nice Italian looking pots.
I came to say the same thing! Planted too deep and roots will strangle the plant if not broken up a bit and straightened out at the root ball before being planted. I’d guess that’s why he’s had other plants (roses and hydrangeas) die in other videos.

So true! Definitely, thank you 🫶🏻
I love how intentional you are with what you buy.
Bathroom looks really lovely, elegant and the mirror was a bargain.😊
Ash Mazzina is my new distraction
Your voice sound is lovely, you should do voice overs or stories, narration.
the bathroom looks beautiful! and the oil painting is perfect
Ash, you know your white hydrangeas. If you cut them back late summer, early autumn. Next year you will have massive flowers. If you leave them the flowers will be nice but not as big xxx
Don't forget to fertilise them from time to time. I'm in the process of drying some of our hydrangeas for a winter vase.
I think the mirror was worth the money and looks beautiful in the bathroom,all looks stunning,have a good week
Thank you! You too ☺️
it’s good to put gravel in the bottom of your plant and really soak them down the first watering. beautiful pots
Painting with that white shirt, well that’s bold 😂
It’s my painting shirt, it’s about 7 years old 😂
I was mightily impressed 😅
I have my father's old books and have never put them in a freezer? Classics are always good to have and the wierd and wonderful. Dickens etc. If you comb charity shops you'll get a better deal maybe.

Mirror lovely a real find and as for the chest did wonder - at least you haven't got a medallion thank God :-)
The mirror is perfect!
Hi Ash, i always enjoy your content. The bathroom looks very sumptuous and the mirror looks amazing, you have such good taste in your purchases 😊
Thanks so much! 😊
I haven’t watched since you first got the place. How beautiful everything has turned out. I see puppy has changed his mind, he likes it now ❤️🐶
I love your bathroom. The mirror and wall lights look so good. The mirror was worth every penny of what you paid. I love your sense of humour.
Thank you so much! I think it’s quite good value 🙌🏼
The painting, mirror, candles and flowers look lovely in the bathroom. ❤
Thank you! ☺️
No need to apologise for the open shirt. It is very attractive look! The mirror does not seem over-priced to me. It is very beautiful and perfect for the bathroom. Thank you for the video!
I LOVE that painting, really dramatic and rich, would look great in bathroom. We have a friend in France who collects that kind of art.
Still art is one of my favourites! Definitely need to find some more
Just removing distemper paint from my entrance’s cornicing 😏 but taking a break I noticed you had a new vid out! A most welcome break. Great video again. Mirror is great.
Thank you so much, now get back to work 😂🫶🏻

Thank you! They’ve survived so far but noted for next time 🫶🏻
Excellent advice - for all plants in fact. I was cringing as I watched the soil level creep up 😨
I love your videos, you have a wonderful place and you are always very funny (the mirror is perfect and worth the price)
Thank you so much! Definitely worth it ☺️❤️
You need at least 2 more coats of paint in the bathroom and don’t forget to use filler on the holes under the light on the right side of the bathroom mirror. Love the style of the dark color and brass accents. Ya’ll have great taste!!
I definitely do, it’s on my list of things to finish 😂
I adore that mirror!!,and the lights,well done♥️♥️
Thank you!!
Love that curious puppy checking out your gardening skills!
that beveled edge mirror is great!
Thank you for this video. Really like the secateurs, very handy, will look out for those.😊
Glad it was helpful!
The painting looks perfect in the bathroom. Stunning.
Thanks so much 😊
@@ashmazzina ☺
The mirror is beautiful. Not at all expensive. The bathroom is gorgeous. I love your taste with everything. It’s a pleasure to watch. 😊
Thank you so much!
0:13 Old soul, not old man, at this point. And may you be both in the future. 🌱🌞🌳

Check with your local library -- when I need a lot books, I buy them by the yard or by the pound. Turns out to be an expensive way to fill a space.
Someone mentioned this recently, such a good idea! Thank you ☺️
Greetings from Southern California! Love your content! ❤
Gorgeous! We need to be properly introduced to your beautiful Shar pei xx
I completely agree about bedding and packaging
100%
The mirror is gorgeous and the lights go perfectly with it. Love your style 👌🏼
Love the pots in kitchen and the red wine 😂
Me too 😂🫶🏻
Reds are difficult. So much tint has to be added to the base that it becomes more translucent. Suggestion -- painting the first coat with a primer tinted as dark gray as you can get will save time and money (with a standard decent quality paint line)
I’ve never had an issue with dark colours before so decided not to prime. In hindsight, would have been quite smart! Thanks for the tip
I think F&B make a primer for dark colours. Saves on the cost of top coat.
Beautiful bathroom! Love the colors, style of period items and that gold mirror! First time watching and I subscribed!
Thanks so much!!
The mirror is beautiful.I think for a bevelled mirror,a bargain.
I think so too! Such a great find
I like folio society books- they’re pretty but also very readable
That gold on the burgundy wall is absolutely stunning ❤❤
Thank you!
Love the videos !! Your really funny 🤣 don’t know if you no that but you have little quirks when you talk that are just so funny and darling 🤍 also your brave painting in a white RL shirt
Use coffee filters to cover the drain holes in the pots. That will still let water drain but not the soil. And cheap too!
I have some more potting to do so will definitely try this!
Beautiful bathroom and I love your new piece of artwork in the bathroom.
Thank you so much!
Two tips. Tint primer the same colour of any dark colour secondly never paint in straight lines . You will get uneven levelling of the paint and a less smooth finish. Paint in a W pattern.
Great advice, thank you!

I enjoy your videos. Great taste and tips on where to shop. UK my new home soon. Cape Town 🇿🇦
Good purchase of the mirror - worth it! Question: the radiator in the background is white. Was this intentional? To draw one's eye to a utilitarian device as a sue-do accent item?

Beautiful mirror. I have house full of mirrors.. Like add depth and light to any room..always a good purchase.
So true!
I love the books and the mirror. I think that was the cheapest you would have found them in LA. I don't know about it there, but you are very sensible in your decisions so I think you did well!

You should go around the charity shops I pick up a lot of things I pick up a lovely old fashioned stuff. Love your home so much ❤
Are you an interior designer? You make bold choices and have real talent.
Thank you so much, just someone who loves interiors 🫶🏻
You got a deal! Nice work;)
Thanks! 👍

Your Pup is so adorable
Thank you!
I’m glad I discovered this channel! But 20 for a bottle of soap is crazy
It’s rather pricey, but it does last a long time…
I love the bath!!!
Wow!!! New subscriber here! Are you able to share where you got the bathroom vanity? Btw, the color of the bathroom is really really nice.
You paint in a white shirt and tan pants??? Wow, You are a very brave man!!! The bathroom looks fantastic!!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the mirror!!!!
I’m convinced that you will change the colour quite quickly….. F&B have a fantastic new total flat paint ,,,, excellent and in your colour you have chosen,,,,would totally transform the shiny surface,,,, shows up every slight flaw ,,,, and unless you’re intention is to throw things about,,,I think you should give it a try .
Beautiful home!

Thank you so much! All of the colours used are from farrow and ball, which you can get in the US. I’ll definitely do a separate video on colours!
Love your videos ❤
Thank you! ❤️
Something is worth what you’re prepared to pay! 👍🥰

Love rhe colour and lighting. Question: what brand is your blue shirt? It loked so comfortable and breathable! 💙
£140 was worth it 👍🏼

Garden looks stunning
Thank you!
The mirror was great value
Very good taste in the house. Where did you get the red velvet armchair from? Is it an armchari or a loveseat?
It’s an Armchair from Sofa.com ☺️
Fabulous ❤
🫶🏻
Le miroir français est vraiment magnifique. Tu as bien fait.
Thank you!
I really like your chair and sofa. What is the maker, if you would mind telling me?
Sofa.com. Bluebell armchair and I think the snowdrop sofa?
Have you thought of wallpaper on the hall? Really rich and luscious.
I considered it, but it would have to be the whole house and I’m not too keen on having the hallway, dining room and upstairs hallway all wallpapered. The spare bedroom however…
The bathroom is really stunning but l would have chosen another color for the lamps.
Fair point, I was thinking about changing the shades soon!
I don't know how it's done in the U.K., but here in the U.S. local city libraries will often have book sales several times a year and you can get vintage hardcover/leather bound books for pennies on the dollar.
I will definitely have to look and see if this happens in the UK! Thank you ☺️
Are those corners on the mirror original? To me they look like they were an add on. Bathroom is looking great. Love the lemon trees!
They look original to me, but I’m no expert 😂 thank you!
The mirror is beautiful but I would love to see how it looks hung higher, above the picture rail(?)
It’s actually hung above the picture rail! Any higher and it would look off in my opinion, the ceiling is quite low in there
I recommend books you’d like to read 😊
