You've learned lesson number one about hiring contractors - never pay all of the cost up front! Another lesson is, for bigger jobs, get a contract, and make sure EVERYTHING you want is on it. If the contractor balks at doing this, it's a tip off about how they do business - don't hire them. I know it's a pain to do all the searching, but for me, it's a lot less stressful than dealing with them after the job is done.When you find good tradesmen, great. But one trick to finding good tradesmen is to ask all your friends, neighbors and family who they've used and about the experiences they've had with them. After 10 years in this area, I've finally found most of the tradesmen I need, and they're all good. I often have to wait longer than I'd like, but I've learned that's far preferable to trying to make them do something they never thought of doing. That's the cause of all poor experiences I've had - I have one standard in mind, but never communicated that to them completely, and they have another standard and never communicate that to me. Add being a woman to that, and it's doubly difficult. Good luck!

You’re honestly one of the few people that I feel enjoys vlogging. And I appreciate that. I know its work but you just are who you are in your videos. And Alex is walking around doing his thing and it’s the best. Not so put together. ❤

Maddie, I totally agree with you on your approach about renovating the house. Do as much as you can yourself, save the money, avoid disappointment and be proud of what you have achieved 😊

@MadeleineOlivia 5 месяцев назад

another freezer tip: you can make rice and then wrap it in individual servings and throw it in the freezer. then you always have rice and its quick to reheat and reheats well in the microwave or stovetop.

@MadeleineOlivia 5 месяцев назад

Wow such a good tip!

Hi Maddie, I very much relate to wanting to be non-confrontational with the carpenters. We had really awful ones as well. Eventually, we said goodbye to them and went looking for new people for our next renovation. We now have the best guys! They are doing a fantastic job AND are super easy and accepting in their communicate. Sometimes it takes a while to find good people and builders. Don't invite the people back who are horrible; look for new people. I'm now so happy with ours; I will hold on to them for the rest of our lives! ahah.

It's nice to see other people with rooms that are dumping grounds. I live in a one bed house but I find that overwhelming still. I have little piles of clutter around for some reason. It gets me down but maybe one day I'll get it done x

Yeah! Definitely do your dressing room next after the hallway is finished. Since you film a lot inside there.

@claireangier3322 5 месяцев назад

Your so right about the showroom style houses, that's why i don't watch them anymore, your far more relatable. I have quite a large shed which I've setup so I have storage for my food waste, recycling, plastic to go to the supermarket, even clothes ie., holey or worn out clothing I would never put in landfill but recycle that too in the supermarket car park textile banks. Loving your vlogs! ❤

@louise8582 5 месяцев назад

I really like your utility room, it suits the house and doesn’t look like all the other “predictable Instagram pretty shots”, it’s much more authentic and sustainable! With regards to trades, if you really like your builders, ask them for recommendations to other trades or simply ask your neighbours if they have any people they would recommend.

@michellehooper661 5 месяцев назад

I have watched your home renovation journey and I’ve absolutely fallen in love with the way your home has turned. Love your interior design and decors. Especially your gardens. I would love to see more videos of your area from clear far shots and front and back of the house as well in more far clear shots because I love countryside living. ❤️✨

@theflourishinghippie 4 месяца назад

I maintain a pretty tidy and organized home with very limited clutter about as it stresses me out but I definitely make sure to recycle or reuse anything I can. Now the garage on the other hand 😄 that's where the separate recycle bins, holiday etc are and it's definitely not as tidy as it can be.

Couple years ago when I watched someone with clean , organized house I was mad at myself that my home don't look like that. Now I know better and when I see someone with clean house I just don't watch it because I like real people and real life. It's good for my brain to see others have the same like me 😊

We are in year 10 of renovating our house. We can to the decision that we were not living our lives, so now we do a little here and there. No outside trades. When we do work on something, we just try to do it ourselves and it has worked out so far. I really released a lot of pent up stress when we stopped pushing so hard.

Yum, that orzo and courgette at the end. Loved the video and such a shame about the contractors, but it is like that here too.

I'm glad it stopped raining for you for a bit. :)

Interesting point about writing pages and pages in a journal... wallowing in our problems. I recently listened to a podcast that spoke of this. Even going to therapy and continually focusing on the problems is not a healthy thing to do!

I bought the Lucy & Yak cords in navy, v V comfortable, would def recommend, and am thinking of buying another pair in another colour. I know your utility room hasn't been decorated but I like it, I'd leave it, I think it looks great! Thanks for another interesting and helpful vlog. PS made your 'unsausage rolls' over the wkend, will def make them again!

You can definitely do the dressing room. I don’t know if they sell it in the UK but zinsser paint primer works for ikea furniture! And if you get a day bed with a pop up trundle you can turn it into a large bed for guests.

@alb0801 5 месяцев назад

Great to see you feeling more motivated Maddie! Interesting to hear about the Purdy and Fig products as I'm considering giving those a try. Just to say regarding tradesmen - not all tradesmen are the same. My husband has been a carpenter/buider for over 20 years and we would not survive financially if we were not paid until the job was complete. We invoice each fortnight for the work completed. I think perhaps its more about making sure you see the work of the tradesmen and any sub-contractors they may use before you engage them and get some recommendations that you can trust before going ahead.

You could use the doll house at the bottom of the garden near the raised beds for more storage if it's not leaky.

@jildouwtje 5 месяцев назад

Maddie! If you're not going to be filling all the veg beds this year, I don't see why you couldn't put cardboard on those other beds now? It'll help with the weed pressure, anyway! Another option is landscape fabric, but that's often made of plastic. It is fairly durable though, so it could help for a longer period of time. I love watching your videos, thank you for sharing so much of your life with us!

If you cut that clematis back really severely and just leave about a meter of the main stems, that will give it the best chance to survive a transplant. The time to do it is late winter while it's still dormant, so sooner than later, or else wait until next winter to move it if you can.

You need to be careful about your assumptions re what you call perfect home influencers. I am not an influencer but I have be told I have a near perfect home and I do live sustainably. I have systems for my recycling i.e. one bag full of packaging to dispose of at the supermarket and a routine of taking the bag which is reusable and emptying it in store. All veg etc emptied in compost or given to chickens daily. App alert to remind me which bins are due so emptied regularly. Empty indoor bins in council bins regularly every other day. Anything to be used in the garden I put in a waterproof container in back of the garden. I live in the country in Norfolk 3 miles out of town so systems are necessary but I have a very uncluttered home for a family of 3 with pets. You have commented in the past that you sometimes receive negative comments try not to become that person, maybe say something like "maybe some of the people.....". Sent with good intentions.

@trudiegordon6327 5 месяцев назад

I find if you have a bubbly personality people don't like it and punish you as they are either miserable or self involved. You will always be bubbly like I am and with being open brings anxiety as we are repressed. Moody miserable people seem to be welcomed with open arms and us happy people are frowned upon. In New Zealand where I was brought up most people are bubbly and positive and I have never understood the English attitude sometimes as I felt appreciative of nature and simple things and here a lot of people want to moan and run things down and I refuse to.
