    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.😊

    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 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?

    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!

    Love the mirror. I think it is a good price but I live in 🇨🇦. As for the books well not for me. Too distressed and I am sure musty smelling. Like your colours.

      I can assure you there are no musty smells in this house 😂

    Looks great thanks for sharing your journey, but given the dark colour of the bathroom and wall lights facing downwards, tasks like shaving must be a challenge to see anything no ?

      We have overhead lighting so never had an issue!
