Great job! I've just come back from holiday, opened my post, I live in a block of 2 storey flats, and we have communal gardens, which I and the neighbours keep tidy. Well, we've only gone and won The local housing trusts, 2023 Communal Garden Competition. Well chuffed!!!!
Great job Mr. C, such a nice large space. Helen could get a dinning table where you put the umbrella pole down the middle. Makes the umbrella pole sturdy and a nice place to set and eat.
I much prefer the blue, it all looks very inviting. Bet it's lovely to sit there on a warm evening, or in cooler weather wrapped up in a snuggly blanket looking at the night sky.☕🌠
That little pot was gorgeous before it was painted and i personally think it would be nicer hooked onto the wall instead of the wool hanging thing. I do like the blue but i would have gone with a pale yellow which i had before outside and in any photo people would say o what countrie was that taken in thinking we were on holiday. Although at the end of the day she did have the say and made sure it was done her way.😊 a pink wall that says it all. It is nice.
It looks stunning. Only thing I would have done is paint/stain the decking so it’s all clean and fresh. Loved you two together. I’ve had 20 mins of lighthearted comedy. Thank you. ❤❤❤❤
The blue looked really chic, and a bit mysterious with the mirror! Very nice! But I would have also considered the terracotta pink for a bright Mediterranean feel, with a bit of blue as contrast, but that's just me. Overall, the finished look was very stylish and fresh. Well done, Iwan and Helen!
I love the blue wall it goes so well with the furniture and the ivy. Made a very tranquil spot to sit in. The mirror that was already there gives a lovely reflection.
That blue is the ticket. It's a calming influence and picks up the cushion pattern without being to matchy-matchy. It's all very welcoming and makes you want to lounge and linger.
I guessed Helen first of all and then changed my mind!😂 Helen should try sand in her umbrella base instead of water. The blue brings out the stone colour in the walls and the touch of terracotta works really well. Good job! Much love to you both, Soph.x
Blue turned out perfectly, love it. Wished Helen had given you more free reign to showcase your design ideas. But it did turn out lovely. I will definitely be buying her book, bet its a good read. 😊
Hi lwan! Nice change. The space is much more pleasant than before. I wonder if lighting for night time use was discussed? I was sure that you would have added some fairy lights. A small water fountain for its splashing noise would be nice. Wind chimes work nicely also. More pillows! Porcelain barrels at the side of the chairs and sofa to place drinks on could help to cozy the room. The blue wall would look better with just the mirror. The tiny hanging pot and the straw tray shout, Cheap. Wall sconces with Glass hurricane shades to serve as fat candle holders would be a better choice. I'm sure she can afford them. This was nice but, l enjoy you going out to visit pubs and restaurants with Luke or out doing Seasonal shopping much more. Still haven't seen the finished bathroom ensuite or the kitchen. And l missed your little ones, Pumpkin and Mittens! Have a great week. Love your channel ❤️ Your friend in Kansas City, Tom 😃🌻🌹🍀🌈♥️🦋🎉🎉🎉
I love the blue swatch. It will be a lovely backdrop for any colour flower going. Yellows, oranges, salmons, reds. The colours will pop. Great choice!💙💙💙
Hi Mr. C & Helen! Great job on the roof deck. I love the choice of the blue wall, but my suggestions would be to paint the large mirror gold to add to the gold touches of the Ibiza wall basket and that large ginger jar vase. In addition to more low maintenance plants I also suggest adding in more string lights or large lanterns with LED candles, swapping out the grey striped rug to a navy & white striped one that coordinates with the blue wall, and even add a water feature, which would really bring it all together. Thanks for letting us watch your rooftop transformation. Much love from Fort Worth, Texas! 🤠🌺🌞
Definitely the blue; although I did like the green because I thought the green wall against the green foliage behind the wall would have looked very nice.
Great stuff, Mr C. The roof garden looks lovely; as Helen said, it seems like another country - a North African vibe, I think! Good video, lots of laughs with Helen, thanks to you both.
You did a great job, Iwan! The blue wall is perfect in that space. The only thing is - I think the rug is too small. It ought to be big enough to go under the seating, at least the front legs. Otherwise, it looks very inviting. ♥
when I realized who it was I screamed, '' CHAIRS !!! '' thanks to AbFab we here in America have been exposed to the comedic genius that is Helen Lederer ! Her character on the show was so superb, we wondered how much was actually acting. LOL Great Make Over Carrington, really nice. !
What a brilliant video, Helen is so funny. Loved her in Absolutely Fabulous. Such a beautiful Makeover. The book looks really great, it's now on my book list 🙂
I think it all looked fabulous, but I’d definitely put a wedge in the umbrella holder, it looked like it was ready to blow away, it’s the same as ours and we bought a heavy metal base and it works a treat. Great job though, I loved the finished look .
Stylish makeover of the roof garden,it is a perfect space for both relaxing and entertaining. I will certainly look forward to reading Helen's new book.
This was absolutely fabulous!! What fun. We have an umbrella like that.. same handle, sound and when I hear that sound I know that it is time for drinks, my Husband wants to begin cocktails!! Great job, Helen expresses her wants beautifully.
Well done you two! Major improvement, in my opinion. If I might be so bold.... I think the red flowers in in macramé hanging are out of scale with the rest of the 'room'. Alors, à chaque un son goût! I love how that red telegraphs with the green in the pillow, but I suspect something grander on the wall would be cohesive with the mass of the pieces of furniture.
Hi Mr C. Another amazing video from you. I love that makeover it looks great. I would probably go with pink for the wall as that’s my favourite colour but love everything. Helens book sounds great I will be getting Helen’s so funny. 😂. Have a great day 🥰
I love how the roof garden looks and the blue is beautiful. Very relaxing. The decor is nice and safe in the color dept. the pots are lovely. Love the wood bench as it adds nice contrast. Good luck in Helen’s book sales too.
Wonderful! It all came together really well. I hope the blue wall stays, it's stunning. Love Helen, she's so adorable and hilarious. Naked Video remains one of my favourite comedy sketch shows of all time. Yes to more Helen on your channel :-)
Helen's roof garden turned out so pretty. I would have picked out the mustard/yellow color simply because I love how it would have made it look and feel like you were on holiday. I also think a couple more of the woven flat baskets to go with your beautiful blue and gold one would be nice. You can always add and take away items as you go along. You've got a great start and I love it so far!
Very nice roof garden makeover. I am so glad that she got rid of that raspberry red wall. I know a lot of people love red colors but red really aggravates my anxiety and so does yellow. I don’t know why but I know that I am not alone when it comes to people with anxiety in certain colors. I love the blue wall that y’all painted. Paint in the blue colors go really great with grays and this is looking so good with her gray wicker furniture. Hugs from the southeast coast of Florida😎🦩🌞🦩😎
Lovely people, so relaxing chat, very nice outcome. Thank you.
I really enjoyed this video from Iwan and Helen. Another great start to a Sunday morning. X

My dear Mr Carrington, Great video, Just shows what a lick of paint will do the blue is perfect. Nice to see you and Helen together. Love from Franx
I much prefer the blue, it all looks very inviting. Bet it's lovely to sit there on a warm evening, or in cooler weather wrapped up in a snuggly blanket looking at the night sky.☕🌠
I enjoyed the make over with Helen. It’s made the outside space fresh and relaxing to be in.
❤
Mr C I can see your own TV program coming out of this . ❤ Rosey
amazing idea for a show! many more special guest makeovers, please!!❤👏👏👏
Roof garden looks great. Love the blue wall. You did really well Mr C Helen has a strong personality. 👍🏻. Have a good weekend x

Yes its been totally spoilt......😥
Agree Elaine, it was that little bit of pattern in just the right tones ❤❤
This is the beauty of diff people and diff tastes. The world would be boring if we had sll the same likes 💚🤘
Personally preferred it painted 😊
@MOTHERHUSH Yes that is very true ❤️
So beautiful and what a joy meeting Helen. Thank you both so much. Cheers!
Fare to say mr c , my 11 yr old grandaughter hasnt laughed so much , she loved Hellen ( A RUG ) 😂😂 , TY FS & SHE LOVED THE MAKE OVER 💗
I love Helen,she is so funny,and the patio looks amazing too.Well done Iwan.Always a joy watching your vids.xxxx
Mr. Carrington - you are a paragon of diplomacy! 😅🙋♀️🇺🇸‼️
You did a great job, what a lovely outside area. I would never have thought of painting the rattan furniture so thank you Helen for that tip! X
It looks stunning. Only thing I would have done is paint/stain the decking so it’s all clean and fresh.
Loved you two together. I’ve had 20 mins of lighthearted comedy.
Thank you. ❤❤❤❤

This is how I like to start my Sunday mornings, thanks
Thank you Mr.C. and (Helen) that was a great makeover the blue made it look so stylish .xx
For me that is a good makeover tonal shades of grey & neutrals with green touches & pop of flesh pink 👍 well done both of you
What a transformation! Love Helen Lederer and will certainly be reading her book! x
Beautiful roof garden. Very funny woman.
What a lovely space. I was expecting some twinkling lights on the blue wall though. Helens book sounds fun 😊
There are lights along the top of the wall. Didn't you see Iwan putting them up? But you won't see them in the daytime. :)
@@jemma50 no I didn’t. I must have blinked
@@nataliesmith303 LOL! It's at 16.24. 😊
That blue is the ticket. It's a calming influence and picks up the cushion pattern without being to matchy-matchy. It's all very welcoming and makes you want to lounge and linger.
Love the blue wall. All you need now is some sunny weather. 🐱 X
I guessed Helen first of all and then changed my mind!😂 Helen should try sand in her umbrella base instead of water. The blue brings out the stone colour in the walls and the touch of terracotta works really well. Good job! Much love to you both, Soph.x
From whaaat the...?, to oooh so luxurious.
Oh my gosh you know Helen what a beautiful lady I love her! And you too of course Iwan ❤
Wot a great string to your bow, helping celebrities fab. Loved the wall
Love Helen Lederer, she’s amazing x Loved this, cannot wait for more in this series x Will be getting her book for sure x
I really appreciate your kindness. “I do like it…but I think we can improve on it.” was such a nice way to talk about the accent wall color.
He’s wonderfully tactful…
I would have also gone with the yellow as it would make you feel light and bright and happy
Iwean it looks amazing. Love thr blue. Helen is so sweet.❤
Love this xxx mini series i think of makeovers xxxx
Oooh Mr Carrington and Helen Lederer!! A Must Watch!! 🎉❤
I definitely prefer the wall now... it's very stylish.
Ahhh Helen ❤ xx .. .. looks lovely, nice .. 👍
Great coverage with that brand of paint.
Lovely job Mr C. You should do a little series on this kind of makeover.
Blue turned out perfectly, love it. Wished Helen had given you more free reign to showcase your design ideas. But it did turn out lovely. I will definitely be buying her book, bet its a good read. 😊
Helen is lovely .... a tad eccentric. Love the Quality Control sticker on her tights 🥰
Happy Sunday

Absolutely terrific finish Mr. C!
Love the blue!...so nice to see Helen, she's not on telly enough these days, funny lady!😊

Great stuff, Mr C. The roof garden looks lovely; as Helen said, it seems like another country - a North African vibe, I think! Good video, lots of laughs with Helen, thanks to you both.
Hi mr c and Helen
First thought Helen was felicity Kendall - 😮 love the blue and make over !
Oh need to read that book 📕 interesting ty x
Love the blue wall with the gray wicker and cushions. Might have gone for a more colorful rug, but using what she had it's brilliant.
You did a great job, Iwan! The blue wall is perfect in that space. The only thing is - I think the rug is too small. It ought to be big enough to go under the seating, at least the front legs. Otherwise, it looks very inviting. ♥

What a brilliant video, Helen is so funny. Loved her in Absolutely Fabulous. Such a beautiful Makeover. The book looks really great, it's now on my book list 🙂
Helen as beautiful as ever
It suits her. Love the little pops of other colours x
I think it all looked fabulous, but I’d definitely put a wedge in the umbrella holder, it looked like it was ready to blow away, it’s the same as ours and we bought a heavy metal base and it works a treat. Great job though, I loved the finished look .

You did an amazing job! It looks so, so lovely.
This was absolutely fabulous!! What fun. We have an umbrella like that..
same handle, sound and when I hear that sound I know that it is time
for drinks, my Husband wants to begin cocktails!! Great job, Helen expresses
her wants beautifully.
Great blue wall. I thought bench would make a nice coffee table.

Hi Iwan, thanks for the video. 🙏Turned out beautifully. Gale x
That was a fun video….I’d love to see more like this…you are talented!
Morning Mr Carrington love this makeover what a gorgeous space ❤
I would choose the mustard color because I think it goes well with the gray furniture and cushions, then add in navy blue elements.
Omg Catriona!! Loved her on Ab Fab!
Looks gorgeous
Great job Mr C! That blue is a lovely colour 😍. 👏🏼🧡💚🧡💚
I love the blue! 💙
Ahh you did an amazing job and really made a difference. I love the blue wall. It was so entertaining listening to you chat together! 😊
Awesome job Iwan ....absolutely stunning 👍

A lovely outdoor space
Wonderful! It all came together really well. I hope the blue wall stays, it's stunning. Love Helen, she's so adorable and hilarious. Naked Video remains one of my favourite comedy sketch shows of all time. Yes to more Helen on your channel :-)
