Today I wanted to give you a full tour of my apartment in Edinburgh! The last time I gave a tour of my home was over two years ago, in the first week that I moved in. Since then it has changed a lot, so today I want to share the changes I've made, and share what I love about living here.

I discovered your channel last night. And, wow, it's beautiful. Your tone of voice, your elegance and simplicity, your style and way of seeing life. I believe there should be more channels like yours, away from the chaos we live in, especially in my country (Mexico). Your voice and aesthetics will undoubtedly be a great company in my life from now on. Thank you very much, Nicolas. I will soon make those cucumber sandwiches for tea. ❤ 🙏🏼

Wow - thank you so much for this very kind comment - I really appreciate it! X

@hmmmmm1988 Год назад

Agreed! I love that it's really quiet and calm.

@angelahartley3212 Год назад

I told him the same thing! I stated to him I could listen to him read a phone book!! ( hopefully one still knows what these are)

@jamese.mambourg Год назад

Nicolas, have you ever thought about turning the back hallway into an art gallery? You could just get a camera and shoot portions of classical buildings etc. in Edinburgh (perhaps in sepia?) and have them printed out. If it turned out to be really good you might even ofer a few for sale. Just a thought.

@wandaseabolt1120 Год назад

Wallpaper for the hall. Stephanie on Chateau Diaries did one of her bathrooms in a floral bluebell Pattern and a downstairs in another floral. Beautiful.

@NicolasFairford Год назад

Sounds great!

Your flat is so elegant but cozy also. It shows your talent for decorating which we all already knew you had. Thank you so much for showing us your's and Sofie's home. Love to you both.

@NicolasFairford Год назад

it was my pleasure! Thank you so much x

@nursekate6772 Год назад

Wonderful broadcast! Just a word of advice regarding the TV in the bedroom....find yourself a flatscreen and have a custom frame built around it. You can then have a memory stick with your favorite works of art loaded onto and it will turn your television into any painting you like 😊 You have the convenience of having a television in the bedroom, but without the horrific aesthetic of a big black box mounted on your wall.

@NicolasFairford Год назад

Great idea! Thank you!

@ladysparkymartin Год назад

I’m only halfway through the video but wanted to say before I forget… You’ve done many beautiful things to this place but by far, your greatest was finding a way to cover the red wall tiles! Bravo! 😅👍🕺🎉

@gail2444 10 месяцев назад

Enjoy your channel. I think a slim console table over the hall radiator with a large mirror would make it look like a foyer, a place to drop your keys, sunglasses, etc. For a pop of color a bright runner down the hallway

It's a pleasure! Thank you!

@deborahhuckaby4623 Год назад

Hi Nicholas. Sophie's haircut is adorable! Pops of black and wood always looks great in rooms. The maps look good as you have them. You've done a great job on your home and should be proud of it and yourself.

@NicolasFairford Год назад

Hey! Thank you so much, I think she just looks SO cute! I appreciate your kind words x x

@phyllisgehringer5445 Год назад

Turn the hallway to the bedroom into a library space

@sheilaenglish9738 Год назад

Yes, that painting from your living room will look great over your bed and it will give you the chance to go looking for another painting in keeping with the new look in the living room 😉 I’ve never liked the idea of laundry in the kitchen but I was surprised when you, UK born and bred said that. 😄

@NicolasFairford Год назад

Haha! Thank you!

@fevertree1957 Год назад

A radiator cover gives you a shelf to put a plant on & then a nice mirror above that to lighten the back hall.

Dear Nicholas, so many of us love you and your content- thank you so much for another episode that takes us out of our every day lives. Love and best wishes to you❤

@vionkinipsagallegoski4207 Год назад

Love that you always have fresh plants/flowers.😘😘😘

@maryoleary2037 Год назад

Living room looks good. To my eye, the painting over the fireplace, needs to go up a few inches...not too high, but so it is not resting on the mantle. Of course, if it is going over the bed, then is can stay where it is for now. You most certainly need something over the bed, so consider a new frame on your painting. I'd like to see some comfortable type of chair is your courtyard. If you want to sit outside and read, your current chairs look very spartan.

@lianeabeyta4515 Год назад

I know change is good, but I love color and pattern. So I really miss that gorgeous large round table with books and a lovely large lamp, in the living room. Just changing the table skirt to jute would have fit in here so well. I think the dining room would look lovely with a pop of green. Even just an accent wall behind the buffet, would have such an impact. I love the little settee in the dining room. A touch of elegance. In the hallway I think if you painted that tiny corner cabinet and put a weathered terra cotta or stone pot with a faux cypress topiary on it, would have a nice feel. Oh my.... I was so happy when you got to the bedroom and the round table was there!!!!!!! Its so classy. I hope you never get rid of it. Yes to the painting over the bed! The room is calming and peaceful, just needs that pop. The stone walled courtyard garden is incredible, with the potted trees and patio. What an amazing space to relax and entertain. This is a perfect little house for you and Sophie.

@MizJilly Год назад

I love your place! It's a little house more than it is an apartment, in my opinion. I think your idea of mossy green high-gloss paint in your dining room would be spectacular. And you've transitioned into your new style beautifully. It's a great lesson in how to make changes without spending the Earth by letting go of pieces that will no longer work and adding new ones a little at a time.

@NicolasFairford Год назад

I also see it as a little house too! Thank you so much!

@mavep2855 Год назад

I think your flat is gorgeous Nicolas. You have turned it into a warm and inviting home. Simple elegance at its’ best! Thanks for the tour🙏❤️

@cindygarrison6338 Год назад

I miss the botanical lamps and side chairs and secretary. They are ME! lol But I love your new style for you!

@ahnie771 Год назад

A gallery wall in your hallway would be lovely and personal. Also I love a reading nook. The little built in stand or table behind you could have a very tall dramatic silk flower arrangement - tall and thin. I love your apartment!

@NicolasFairford Год назад

Thanks for the suggestions!

@maryannhartzell2958 Год назад

Please get a TV in your bedroom. You have the perfect spot for it in this apartment. You could use the hallway as a library for all your design books.

@ahnie771 Год назад

I agree you don’t need a TV if you have an iPad - TV is overrated. As an Amer😮can I am afraid we take laundry rooms or basement laundries for granted.

@tonyathomas9540 Год назад

@janicebrowningaquino792 Год назад

You are certainly not alone when it comes to budget. It has taken me years, I DO mean YEARS, to make my townhome feel like ‘me’, like home. Be patient with yourself. If you were able to run out and make instant changes that seem to appeal, a short while later you may not care for those things. I’m almost glad about budgetary restrictions I have faced because of forced me to think my decisions through. It also taught me to be patient.

@allthebest744 Год назад

I really like the antique prints of the maps. And you’re right, they flow being side by side.

@stephyoungren Год назад

When you showed the hallway, my first thought was the walls need some vertical stripes! Wallpaper or even with paint for a more budget friendly transformation. But some fun pattern could really bring the hallway to life ❤

@dianewalker9154 Год назад

The hallway - a nice rug, rich wallpaper, artwork on the walls, an elegant crystal light fixture.

@oldcrowcreations Год назад

I love the earthy colors and botanical feel in your apartment. I once read an article from an interior designer who said, every room should have something black in it. I agree! You definitely need something above the bed. If you change the frame, your painting will really stand out. Your outdoor space is beautiful and very romantic. Thank you for inviting us into your home. 💕

@NicolasFairford Год назад

I definitely agree about the addition of black in a room! Thanks for your kind compliments x

@wendykelly8551 Год назад

I remember coming across your channel you'd just put your 3rd video up which I then went to look back at others and saw there was only 2 others.... and here we are today heading towards 200k subscribers.... lovely xx❤

@sarahofer4368 Год назад

If I'm not mistaken, you've pared down your pieces of furniture. Your décor style seems to be evolving over time, just as you are; time seems to have added a dimension to your elegance and taste. Love every single item! Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with all of us.

@NicolasFairford Год назад

Yes! Have pared-down and eliminated a lot of stuff! Thank you so much x

@arlenecal Год назад

Hi Nic... perfect choice with a dark rich jewel box effect for the hall way and then lots of rich prints... Living area is beautiful now that you painted over the dark color. Skirted table is gorgeous in your bedroom... very good choice and very elegant. I do like both night stands accompanying your bed. Think of repainting them and save your money if the quality of wood is good. New hardware for draw pulls might be nice. Your place is beautiful for sure... a real lovely space. You're lucky! Love the petals in your garden, how special. Thank you as always. Much continued good cheer to you.

Nice to see ! If you need thoughts with the hallway, remove the corner table and put the lamp on top of the trunks . Or remove trunks and just table.

@seansmith445 Год назад

@0111dc Год назад

Hi Nicolas! Thanks for sharing your appartement again. I like the new look, it looks fresh and young and yet still classic and stylish. Idea for the corridor? I guess you are not allowed to take the carpet out right? Maybe change both of the lamps, the hanging one and standing one, to something more fresh. And paint the walls in a light, warm colour. Then it will look more modern. Thanks for asking. Bye from Holland, hug for Sophie and get well soon.

@caro_linecld3962 Год назад

Thank you Nicolas for your beautiful video. Your home is wonderful, I like your idea to move the picture above the fireplace into the bedroom. Should you want to change the frame you could provide the old frame with a mirror, that would also look very good over the fireplace.

@wakingupKosher Год назад

isn't just what you do but what you don't do. Not just what you did but how you did it. Not just what you said but how you said it. Love is so simple yet the simple make it so hard. Love Is full of knowledge yet even the smart don't get it. Love doesn't cost a fortune yet fortunes are spent trying to gain it. Love does demand of you yet you are not willing to sacrifice for it. Those who only seek what love can give and do for them, do nothing for love and others and in such selfish pursuit, in turn rob themselves of love's best gift. Make this year the year you seek to sow love and not just reap it. Be love and not just think it. Do love and not just say it. Talk love and just don't fake it. Seek love and just don't chase it. Embrace it but don't enslave it, share it but don't dare boast in it. Enjoy it but don't abuse it. Free it and watch it come back. Invest in it and watch it pay back. Wash your life in it, light your darkness with it, eat your food with it conduct your business with it and above all else Serve God in it. For whatever love is and is not, it's all of, for and From Him. He is LOVE! " By Steven Gooden

@sylviekins Год назад

I agree, that was very well expressed.

@mariannetracy4248 Год назад

Art from at least after the Impressionist era, not necessarily modern or post modern. Simplified lines and planes. Wait until you find something you love. No rush. In the meantime, you can put a lovely little painting over the bed. Caution: I can be wrong, haha.
