Its weird to me that people actually tell you they dont like you wearing floaty dresses.....seriously please dont change it makes you relatable mooching around in whatever you want to wear. Roxys eye wisps are seriously 😍
Exactly! Made me even upset. Fashion has become all about showing women figure and looking sexy. What about just looking cool, unique , or simply feeling comfortable - that’s what clothes are for. Never change Madeleine 🫶
You NEVER look like a slob. And you portray the real you on RU-vid. Unfiltered. It truly helps your viewers, and I honestly believe it's probably better for your mental health too. You are beautiful!
The first thing I always do when a new video is up is check the length of it, I love a long vlog 🤗. Can't believe people would tell you what to wear..wear whatever you like, you always looks great, including when you don't have your make up done and think you look 'a mess' compared with other youtubers..you're real and show us the way you live, which is just like the rest of us! Love all your pictures, esp the floral ones. That canvas one is perfect in the pink room 🩷
I love your authenticity. I find it refreshing and encouraging. And honestly, I’m more motivated to pick myself up and get on with my day after seeing your routines than I do seeing the “perfect” influencers. You make me feel like I can actually have fun and enjoy taking better care of myself!
You dont look like a slob! You look like an ACTUAL HUMAN BEING. i really appreciate your honesty and real-ness in everything you do. Never stop being Awesome Maddie❤
I just can’t understand why we live in a world where people think they have the right to make unsolicited negative comments about the way others dress. I mean, who asked for their input anyway? Just carry on being you Maddie, you can’t win with some people, embrace all the things that make you a successful individual. It’s no wonder you have body confidence issues, isn’t it sad that there aren’t more women celebrating women, no matter their personal taste in clothes.
I was having a high pain morning and felt I couldn't get out of bed at all, but hearing your slow, relaxed, project-focused approach made me feel inspired to "just put one load of laundry on" then "just start running a bath" - I've now done two laundry loads, shaved my legs and given myself a pedicure! Yes I'm back in bed now but I am so grateful to your approach to life because it's the difference between being able to do small acts of self care, or nothing at all!
Honestly there is nothing more someone could say to me they would make me happier. Because I really understand. It can be so hard and this approach has helped me immensely when my mental health is bad. I am so happy that you’ve been able to do those small acts of self care and important chores! And I hope your pain is better tomorrow xxxx
Love that you said you wanted to keep the curve on the plasterwork, not wanting to make things look modern. I've seen so many period properties that have been gutted and original features just thrown out, leaving the property looking like a super modern new build essentially. Makes me really sad to see. So well done you! Such a beautiful home you're creating.
I just paused your video to tell you that you are not a slob! we are the same age and for me it is so damn refreshing to watch someone who embraces natural beauty, be their authentic self and not insecure to look polished all the time. I always think you look radiant, you are relatable, inspiring to young people. Never apologise or be jealous of who you are ! you are great!
What you have done to yout cornish cottage is so sympathetic so stunningly beautiful - I particularly like all your bedrooms the colours fabrics rugs & paintings you have a real talent in making it all look classic but cosy as well - love these vloggs xx
First, I watch your vlogs because you are authentic. You never look like a slob. You actually show real life and I appreciate it. I am a college professor in the USA and I often reference your channel as reality vs social media fake. You show an attainable lifestyle. Thank you for being real.
@@suzettebristol3683 how cool! As a translator, I can appreciate a well-written source text. Academic writing was one of the more interesting electives I took :)
Absolutely loved this vlog! My father was an artist, huge lover of the Newlyn School, I grew up with Stanhope Forbes prints, you’ve found a real gem! Your artwork choices are fab, loved the placing of the dark hydrangea piece, the floral in the pink bedroom and you’re spot on, the 2 smaller botanicals would work on top of each other in the green room. Don’t ever change, you really are a breath of fresh air on RU-vid, have loved watching along for quite a while 👌🙌😍
This is NOT boring….it is my cup of tea!! ❤️ Isn’t it funny, when styling, you know when you know! (And the opposite it true!!) Sometimes the placed decor just speaks out loud to you!!🥰
An arte critique with love… The hydrangea painting over the piano is perfect . The two floral prints compete with the bedside lampshades but perhaps in the window alcove wall space with one on each side of the window in your master. The original nautical theme in the “green” room is lovely and adding the floral piece was not working as well. Too bright with the more subtle tones of the ships. The print of the seaside wharf works well and perhaps the tiny mountain piece for a simple 3 piece arrangement. Love the red floral over the chair!!! Thanks for another chill and impromptu vlog… they're always my favorite! They're like hanging out with a friend 💜
Hi and thanks, i was searching if someone bring this in. The ship/sea paintings are so gorgeous in the green room. I would love to sleep and open my eyes and see then 🥰
More than one hour of video, pffffiou… PARADIIIIIIIISE ❤❤❤❤❤❤ I know it must be a lot of work, and not so rewarding because it’s not the current trend like reels and shorts. But thank you so much, it’s an absolute bliss to watch ❤ (from France)
I love watching your videos there so normal and it’s lovely to see your lifestyle and adjusting taking place. It’s so encouraging to me. Thanks for sharing your life with us!!!
If as pretty as you with sleeked back oiled hair, no make up and a floaty dress ...I'd be seriously over the moon. Unfortunately, we live in a world where anyone can say anything hiding behind a screen. Please ignore all negativity because you are one hell of a stunning woman and i think i speak for many of us when i say thank you for letting us into your stunning home. Please never change because being you has got you where you are now ❤
Great to see that there's a new vlog from you😉 I watch your vlogs not only for the content but also for the language and cultural knowledge (as I'm a non-native speaker). So continue following your own path and don't waste energy on negative comments😊
Definitely frame the botanical prints. I have done that for my back entrance in LA, and just today I bought 5 more frames to put more prints from a book in the kitchen. I think the illustrators will be happy with the use of their art. You have great taste in your decorating.
Honestly don’t worry about looking casual. You’re so much more relatable. I wish I was the preppy kind but honestly a lot of the time I just can’t be bothered
I'd go for a colour that reflects the light for your hallway. Our living room is only slightly brighter than your hallway. We used to have a stone colour and over time it became so dark and almost depressing. We changed to a light apple green a year ago and it's made a huge difference! My whole mood is uplifted, especially in the darker, winter months
I think the hydrangea painting would look very nice over the bed in the pink room. The window’s light will face it and brighten it…..showcasing its depth!! It is a lovely painting…..my favorite!!
I love that door curtain with the overfrill at the top - ticking is beautiful. I have a wrought iron simple rod with curl at one end and a cream thermal lined curtain at mine which I can wash easily and could not be without it. It keeps out sunlight, draughts, noise, dust, people, you name it it does it. Beware of too hefty as difficult to clean.
Personally, I enjoy seeing your home decor ideas. Sounds like you're going to have a blue hallway. If you don't hate yellow, a really nice buttery yellow would brighten the hall, plus yellow is the only color that goes well with every single color. Thinking your art would likely work with yellow. Also really like the flowers in the "nursery". I think it would be nice framed, just my opinion. By the way, I prefer wild hair too.
In the green bedroom (I love the paint color and shade) I prefer the picture that you stated you got from your parents. Love the lampshades. They are so pretty and unique.
Let me say, I love that Alex loves to do laundry. You two make a cute couple. Love your home too. Even tho I live in US, my inspiration is a English cottage…just like you guys have😎😊
Your garden after the trimming is going to look amazing! Well groomed garden is like when we get dressed and when our face is all dolled up after we wake up in the morning 😍🥰🤩🤩 also, hanging a curtain inside your house in front of your entrance door is a great idea, but I’ll suggest to do a coffee color or that type of shade - dark blue is going to show all the dust. Well done! Loved the long video. 😊
This is so funny, my grandparents house had 3 bedrooms that were green, blue and pink. We always called the rooms by their colours and hearing you do the same is so reminiscent! The house is looking great, enjoy (and trust) the process.
I think just the one big picture in the green room as it is quite a narrow room when bed there and too busy with 2 extra pics. Maybe hall as it is long and can take extra interest and welcoming. The pic above the piano great - suits so well.
Swap out the lighter picture behind the living room door and replace it with the dark one on the side of the bed of the green room.(that you used to love in your kitchen?) I think that it would be very restful and cohesive in your cozy living room. Especially with the hydrangea picture over the piano.
Dear Maddy, i love your style of your home enthough it is very different to my personal taste. if you want to bring a modern element in your house try hanging a square oversised print or piece of art. maybe with a simple oak frame to still go with your vibe. even just a square frame would work wonders to make a space less formal. And sidenote: the hydrangaeas you planted are shadow flowers. i think your flower beds are south facing so they will actually burn in the sun. there are hydrangeas whitch are sun loving and more suitable for your flower beds. xoxo
You are a perfect influencer - they are not because they are false and always trying to sell things. You are perfect and do the decorating yourself and talk to us like people not customers.
35:08 I think the painting would look amazing in this room and as the eyecatcher of a thoughtfully matched gallery wall. But you should of cause do whatever you feel works best ❤
I'm really sorry people have been so critical of what you wear/how you look. You are beautiful! I personally love it so much that we see you dressed in a variety of ways (dressed up, casual, etc.) because it reflects what I look like in day-to-day life too. I dress nicely sometimes but I'm often in PJs or sweats at home (and even sometimes when I'm out and about haha), and it's nice to see that normalized. I think most normal humans can't be bothered to look glam 24/7, but RU-vid sometimes gives the impression that that is the case. Thank you for all the great content you put out, it's such a joy to watch!
I rarely comment but just wanted to say how much I enjoyed this vlog, particularly when you tested out the placement of the paintings. Those lights for outside are gorgeous too.
Love this video !!! Love to putter and decorate ❤️ I call it playing house ❤️ Love the idea of paintings or prints behind the bedside tables ❤️ Buy what you love and it will work anywhere in your home - also I think hydrangea painting looks lovely over the piano ! Maybe add some (2) little pink lusterware plates on each side
I have that same in between "fringe" thing. I got some super cute headbands and called it a day 😊✌️🌟 Yes, floaty dresses are great. I have a bright pink one that I wear around the house & I love it! Don't let anybody change you, girl! 🩷🌟👏
looooooove your videos...Just found you yesterday and i am loving your back yard, its lovely..i cant wait for when winter comes to see how it is then..
Skimming stone would be my choice for the hall, you can then hang some pretty prints on the walls to add colour and perhaps a curtain for the door in a lovely print. I think if you have colours in rooms, it’s important to have a neutral colour in the transitional spaces. I remember when you cut your fringe before and regretted it, don’t do anything if you’re hormonal 😂🤣😂
Aaah the hydrangea painting is a sign, as soon as I saw it (haven’t watched all of the vlog yet) I thought of that in a blue hallway. Love that painting!
Oh and ps who cares what you wear (says the person who is constantly unnerved by others comments & opinions, it’s hard to drown that out) everyone will have an opinion but be true to yourself as cheesy as that sounds
It is very sweet how you talk about the potential nursery and I hope you can experience that when you're ready! I absolutely love the way you take the time to choose what goes into each room. There is lots of love and care. I know from an aesthetic and design point of view, this is very different from my personal taste, but that it is what makes it lovely. You've designed a home that is cozy and inviting and just what I imagine a cottage on the English countryside to be (outside of Iris's place in The Holiday). Well done! Maybe one day you will decide to rent it out as a holiday guest house :) :) I'm pretty sure you will have a lot of us here wanting to come for a good home cooked meal. P.S LOVE the dress and that colour on you! You are totally rocking it!
Life is too short to wear what other people think you should wear or what flatters you. I love pastel colours and comfy clothes. Constantly told i dress like a kid. When did adult stuff have to be boring though? Legit just wear what you are comfortable in and what brings you joy
With the Herb and Spices book, get a book holder and display it opened on a shelf or tabletop. That way book stays intact and u can change up the page art whenever 👍
For the book with pretty pictures that you aren't sure you want to rip out, how about placing a book stand on some surface and leaving it open on the page with a picture? Naturally, you can change up the picture that is shown from time to time. Also, I loved watching you ruminate on the placement on the pictures, it made me feel better about how much time I recently spent calculating and thinking about how I should hang my pictures.
Forget the center part and sweep all your bangs (fringe) to one side and clip to secure, then pull the rest back in a ponytail or messy bun. Your hair is beautiful 🤩 btw ❤
I love that you don’t try and look perfect in every video. It makes you like a normal person. I don’t even know anyone in real life that puts all the fuss in that most RU-vidrs do, even when going out. I love the hydrangeas above the piano, and the red flowers in the pink room. I think the green room nightstands look best the way they are though, without any extra pictures above them. That’s just one opinion though :) I’m sure whatever you choose will be lovely. Also, yes, having a bed in the nursery would be amazing. It will be heavily used!!
42:58 maybe on the wall on the left of you? I always love to see a pretty painting on the wall next to the bed when I wake up. Only decorating the wall behind the bed, feels really photoshoot oriented to me (does that make sense?) or hotel-ish. (Not that you do that anyway 😅) But when one is in a room you have so many different angles to look at.
I watch you because you keep it real ... I don't find it relatable to watch someone who always looks ready for a photo shoot, the real world is not like that. The hallway is going to look great, it's so exciting to see the rooms evolve. We've got a VW ID3 and absolutely love it. See you next time. ❤🐾
I like watching your videos because you aren't one of those perfect RU-vid girls. You are real, human, flawed, like the rest of us! I appreciate the authenticity. And as I get older, floaty comfy dresses are my jam as well!
I also meant to say, if you like a light neutral blue…check out “Sea Salt” by Sherman Williams. You can look it up online to see the shade of blue. We have it in parts of our home and it’s very light and brightens up a dark room.
You always look gorgeous! I prefer watching you because you’re relatable. I don’t dress up, do my hair and makeup to do chores. Unless I’m at work, I’m wearing comfy clothes lol Plus the girls that always look made up are literally just doing it for the video. They 100% don’t look like that when they aren’t filming. Just live your life!!
Don't get box, between box blight and box moth it's just not worth, box blight got particularly bad a few years ago and box moth has been particularly decimating this year, well established hedges years old being ripped out and burned, just don't take the chance. There are loads of lovely alternatives that are cheaper too 😊 Japanese Holly, eunonymous, have a Google
P.S the slob comment came after I commented, you are not a slob, you don't look like one either and wear what makes YOU comfortable and people asking you to wear things that show off your figure is actually pretty creepy
