Lydia Dinga aka Mrs O, your content is unmatched and underrated. Your consistency and work ethic is admirable. Let's get her to 300,000 before the end of this year.
How about putting shelving where the fake wall is going to be for the waist pipe? Instead of just having a blank wall there, you can always put shelving to store all your towels and linens
I pray that every step of this renovation will be orchestrated over and above your expectations. May Gods light shine in and around every corner of your home. So proud of you both 🙏🏽🤎
Smart idea to have the suppliers come out and do their own measurements. The kitchen rendering is gorgeous! I love that with each project, you are introducing us to new vendors that do good work. First it was Tyrone and now you’ve added Selassie to the mix. Sending good vibes for a continued successful reno.
@@LydiaDingaI wanted to also suggest this, instead of just sealing it out. A shelving is such a great idea cause you always need somewhere to put something.
Lydia I just GASPED when I saw the Mado render for the kitchen! That is STUNNINGGGGG. I would also DEFINITELY go with the darker green cabinets. The jewel tones with the gold hardware is really giving what it’s supposed to GIVE! 🤩 I just got so excited like this is my house lmao 😂
Loving these Reno vlogs as a builder babe . I couldn’t do the cabinet knobs because the texture means dirt getting stuck they remind me of those vintage spoons with the designs that end up a little black because of dirt : It’s they get touched everyday . I definitely would do the same handles easy clean . ❤
Love watching your Reno series and Tyrone is absolutely amazing. Wish ALL builders were like him. Please don’t worry about squatters cause as of a couple of years ago, it became illegal for someone to break into your house and squat. Should that unlikely event happen, you can just call the police to get them out. Good luck on the rest of the reno❤
Some one said to put a shelved wall above the waste pipe to avoid a blank wall. I wanted to say the same thing last episode about their bedroom as well, where they created a bump-out so you don't have to reach backwards to your night stand. Bump out the lower area but create shelves above it to store arts/crafts/decoration etc..
I would really recommend you watch Laura Melhuish's bathroom reveal. She has soo many great ideas. Like sensor lights by the toilet so you don't have to put on the lights at night and recessed storage ESPECIALLY if you are going to build the wall that's perfect to include storage. imo she gets the mix of traditional and contemporary perfect! She has a Victorian house too.
Her bathroom is gorgeous! And yup I have the sensor light in my first Reno, but we skipped it this time as I realised I don’t like a bright light when I’m all sleepy eyed 😅😅 it kinda wakes me up fully
I usually am very much a silent watcher but my goodness you have outdone yourselves I had to leave a comment! I cannot wait to see the end result , wishing you and your husband a successful and blessed reno journey 🤍🙏🏿
Tyrone can always make you guys a temporary door for the outdoor doors. The doors in the house can have temporary curtains. While you guys wait for your permanent doors. As soon as o heard that law 😮I was MIND BLOWN 🤯 All the best can’t wait to see the final masterpiece ❤🎉😊
I love seeing the progress! The house is really coming along, and glad to see Tyrone on it again. Lydia stays appreciating exceptional businesses and I love that!
I’m proud of you Lydia the fact that you work with our people 👏👏👏 I can’t wait to get some inspo from this. There is a lot a learned from your last Reno. I broke wall when I bought mine ❤❤
Why not build sleek cubbies with press to open doors into that faux wall near the window? Would be useful for further bathroom related storage. Toilet rolls, soaps, flannels, etc. Loving the reno!!!
I love love this renovation series. I can’t wait to see how it turns out!!! I feel the excitement like it is my house. I can only imagine how excited you are.
Hi, in the bathroom with the drop ceiling on the other side of the room, you have a lighting fixture for showers install. And you will have plenty of lighting in the shower stall.
Sasa mrembo. I love to see my fellow London babe via Kenya doing this. You’re showing us babes that we can indeed get married, buy houses, get the bag, be happy and healthy. What a wow. ❤❤❤ gurlll keep doing what you’re doing. PS I see the Merc. I recognise my seats from anywhere… 😉😉
Love love love 💕 I can’t wait to see the kitchen fitted.. HGTV needs to look for you or those home Reno/Building shows..this series should be submitted as a pilot for a show! I can see it already- Build with Lydia / Reno’s the Lydia way 😂😂featuring Tyrone and Selasie 🎉
Honestly, I really liked design #1 that you came up with. I think the lighter green brightens more than the darker green. Mado's design # 2 took it up a notch with the lighter countertop on the island. Looking forward to seeing it all come together! BTW...I'm traveling to Lagos tomorrow, 9.9.24 from the U.S. My husband & I are looking into staying a night at the Jara Beach Resort y'all introduced us on to. Thank you!
Wow so cool to see this much progression !!! Very excited for you guys 🩷 I don’t know if you mentioned already but ceiling cornices/ coving would really tie in the Victorian aesthetic 🥰
Love the kitchen rendering.🤩 Take a look at the gold ridged knobs again. They are beautiful and will require more maintenance as food particles, etc, can get caught in them.
The gold fixtures for the kitchen are pretty. However take a look at what real Designer are installing as finishes of fixtures and lighting. They are steering away from the gold.
Wonderful progress Lydia! Your house is going to look beautiful - probably be finished next week at their pace!! x Also, is that a Garmin Venu watch?? It looks like the rose gold version of mine - do you run??
I would create storage in the fake wall with inset doors that are push to open close that can be plastered/ tiled/ painted to look like wall. Check out Emma hill bathroom renovation of downstairs toilet
Hi Lydia, sorry random question I noticed you do gel. X I was wondering how do you keep the gel x and the gel color from separating? Do you ever have that problem?
