Laura and Ollie, you have performed a miracle with that bedroom. It's amazing what a tin of white paint and fantastic taste can do for a room. Honestly, your house updates are now my favourite things to watch on RU-vid. They're addictive, just like a good book, you can't wait to read the next chapter and I never want it to end. Just as well it's a big house and I could be 'reading' for a while. Brilliant job.
I was a little bit confused in the earlier videos when you said that you were making it a bedroom, but now hearing that you are renting it out, it makes total sense! Good luck on the rest of the renovations and please keep us updated!! Love all the videos you do
What a stunning transformation! You must be so proud of what you’ve both achieved with this tranquil, light and airy space (and what a very lucky lodger!). Just as an aside it is tar which causes the yellow staining in smokers’ homes, not nicotine (which itself is odourless and colourless). You have done so well to remove all traces. Looking forward to seeing the rest of your beautiful home develop my darling. 💖💖💖
Oh my word - how beautiful! You have really great style, Laura. And I love your paintings; especially the two in the bathroom. Everything looks perfect. Great job!
You have such great taste. I love it all. Especially the bedroom and the single person wardrobe! Oh, love your personal artwork as well. You are an inspiration.
👏👏👏👏👏😃. WOW. Unbelievably good job! It’s all so tastefully done. Ever so much more impressive that it was done in such a cost effective, wise and clever way. Even your art was great! You two should be VERY proud. You’ve worked very hard. Can’t believe you were undaunted by the state of this house & had the extraordinary & RARE ability to see its lovely bones & well disguised potential. WELL DONE YOU‼️ 👌😃 Oh...and love the armoire! Thank you for mentioning the paint colour. Can you tell me if it’s clear wax over the paint? I literally JUST bought the same paint for a large vintage chest of drawers & would love to know if I bought the right wax!! 👍😉😊 Thank you!!!!
Such a beautiful room. You are so talented and an inspiration to me - my husband and I are renovating our old home in a small town in New Zealand so I love watching your videos xxx
What a great flip!! I can not believe how beautiful it turned out you can definitely tell it was a labor of love!! I love love love the way you kept the space light and fresh!!
Laura you done an amazing job on this part of your home. Sure you will have no problem finding a tenant! You just made a believer in me that you can have an amazing living area on a tight budget. 😊💛
Wow Laura, this room is stunning! You have both done an incredible job! Some great bargain finds! You speak so beautifully through the tour, like something you would watch on a interiors show 💕
I thought the backroom would make a great office and work space for you Laura! But, this is such smart thinking for your current situation and the main existing layout seems to really suit this. It is so impressive what you've done with the space! Maybe one day in the future it will be an office (or even playroom)!!
Super cute room! I love how you design each room specifically and it's so refreshing and beautiful. I have been following your videos since last year, it started with your clothing hauls, and videos leading up to your house. I like watching your videos because it is like watching those home makeovers on the HGTV channel. I can wait to see what you both decided to make the 3rd level into. Keep up the great videos!!
I love it. Great style. Great financial savviness. But oh I soooooo wanted that to be a superb big kitchen diner with a glass side extension and double doors running all way along the wall facing the garden x
Wow! I am so amazed at what you guys have accomplished! Everything looks so gorgeous 😍 I also loved loved loved the paintings you added! They look professionally made and I would certainly purchase them in a heart beat! So excited to see more in the coming months 😘
I am obsessed with this room. This is literally the look I've been trying to achieve in our master bedroom but with no success lol. We have the black furniture, the white desk, a similar mirror too, the wall art... it's just not coming together haha! You have given me ideas on how to bring it all together and make it work. Thank you!
The bedroom furniture setup was inspiration for my room! I loved the shorter side table and the wardrobe next to the bed and that's how my bedroom is now set up :) wish I had as much light as your guest room has!
Love this Laura! You’ve done an amazing job! You mentioned the bedside lamp and said it was from a wholesaler but there is no link to it in the description box. Would you be able to share the link? Xxx
Beautiful. Just a suggestion about nicotine stained walls. My mother and uncle used to do a lot of re modeling they would add a tea spoon of good quality clear peppermint oil to the paint and mix really well. Not only makes it bearable to be in the room while painting smells great and no nicotine smell.
it looks absolutely stunning! where would the guests/renters enter the house? do they have to come through the front door or can you access the door in the hallway from outside the property?
Wow great job hun❤️I give you guys credit there’s no way I’d have anyone live with me in my house, people now a days are too weird. I hope it goes well for you and you guys have no problems!
... that graphite Annie Sloan chalk paint is perfect for a chest of draws on my landing that I’ve been wanting to spruce up... just gotta finish my night shifts and I’ll be onto this 😱
Absolutely delightful! Love your matter of fact, inspiring videos. The suite has a boutique hotel feel. Well done for using ingenuity and creativity 😀! X
You've done so well on this part of the house with a bit of imagination and artistic touch you have turn it into something so comfortable and beautiful....best of luck to your next one...pretty impressive 😍
Thanks Sami! The headboard is secured to the bed frame and so there is plenty of space for it to heat the room as the bed isn't right up against it. Plus the Rayburn is down this end of the house so it's always toasty hot (too much so in the summer) :)
@@LauraMelhuishSprague Well then it's perfect! I've recently gotten a Monday-Friday lodger and would highly recommend it. Allows you to do all of the noisy, dusty, inconvenient work at the weekend when they're not around
Thank you! We went for bog standard white throughout on the walls (got a specific bathroom paint for the shower room) and then we got Farrow and Balls 'strong white' mixed by Valspar for the wood work! Think the white paint we liked the most was from Leyland from B&Q. Hope that helps x
Thank you! It's a basic white from B&Q from the brand Leyland. They do huge 15 Litre tub. www.diy.com/departments/leyland-white-matt-emulsion-paint-15l/1698013_BQ.prd x
megan beazer thank you! I was shocked to find out the company I got it from no longer do domestic lighting 😔 they were called midshire electrics but the lamp is no longer available! Gutted as I wanted another one. Will let you know if I find it! X
This video is just about the room and not the logistics of living arrangements. It will all depend on the length of rental and who we have in. Which I am keeping private as I don’t want my address to be found! Hope you understand x
Dear Laura Melhuish-sprague: I Really Enjoyed This Presentation of Your Autumnal Collection: The Colour Tone is a Very Reassuring and Calm One. Your Striped suit is a Nice One. General Notion is a Very Balanced feel. Using Brown Colour in Suits points into Streetwise mode Niche. Putting This Straight. A Very Nice Collection, Thank You. Sami Morelli. City of Espoo. Finland
Very beautiful, Laura! Will the tenant have acces to the kitchen or how do you see that? I love to watch your content, especially the reno's. Hugs from Belgium! 😊
Laura, I couldn’t quite catch where you got the tiles for the bathroom from? Please would you mind letting me know? Everything looks absolutely amazing!
