Hi everyone! I've seen a few comments about the running tap so thought it was easier for me to respond here! Please remember that I am trying to create entertaining content for you all to enjoy. Sometimes I film things in a way that will enhance the experience of the video. As this video is supposed to be relaxing and for people who enjoy ASMR, I wanted to include as many relaxing sounds as possible. What is more relaxing than running water? I have a dishwasher, but when I wash the dishes by hand I don't leave the tap running! Hope this helps - thanks

[@vickimaiorano5763]

Ah, didn’t think of that. Well you do a wonderful job. Thank you 😀

[@barkingatthemoonpetgroomin2428]

Yes, I enjoyed the duration of the video, was peaceful and smoothly entertaining. Well done. Nicolas., let me tell you I can even perceive ascent from the candle just by watching the video !! I feel welcome in your home and I am in New Jersey USA !!! keep the videos coming. Best Oswald.

[@sandramullen7804]

Oh dear ! I just knew the running tap would get a mention. 🤫

[@TracieWaylingArtistASMR]

Your videos are always relaxing with or without the ASMR :) One good turn deserves another - have you tried using regular fizzy lemonade instead of water for your flowers? An old florist friend many years ago gave me that tip! Tried and tested it initially with a birthday bouquet of flowers at the time, dividing them into two vases, one with water and the lemonade won hands down for fully opening blooms and length of time they lasted🌼❤️🦋x

[@janefarrer2868]

Nicolas, it's your video, your art, your creation! You do what you seem fit!

[@prairiedoggy1]

I’m as interested in creating an attractive home as you are, but I don’t have friends who can relate to that; in fact, people have made fun of me for that reason. It’s nice to watch your videos and know that I’m not the only one who cares about graciousness and beauty.

[@ThuLe-eh1xe]

We can all be like Nicolas if we look at ourselves and others with the eyes of compassion, underdtanding and wisdom, not blaming, not judging but accepting full responsibility for our life, accepting that everybody who are in this world has a lesson to learn: love God, love our neighbor as ourselves. Nicolas shows us a perfect example of loving kindness, beauty, elegance, humity, forgiveness. We too can be like him. Let peace begin with me.

That was sooo perfect. That was my life until I grew old, my husband died aged 80 last year and I can’t walk. Can you imagine the frustration I feel when my life is upsi down. I have help twice a week and a cook daily and thank God for the help but I have unironed sheets. No flowers inside ... I have just started pressing flowers if my helper brings one in. Dear Nicholas make the most of every minute. Time goes past so quickly. Iwould love to know how you cope with evenings alone. After 15 months I still find it horrific. No one to talk to about what you are watching. No one to discuss your thoughts. Are you lonely ? I am going to watch this beautiful film again and can anyone help me ?

[@andreagolombeck4140]

Maybe treat yourself to some fresh flowers here and there can your helper bring you some? I make a point of bringing some sort of flowers into the house every week or so Maybe join some Facebook groups to discuss things like tv programs ( I’m in one Called I ❤️ British Tv and movies )

[@barbarabachner4078]

I'm so very sorry that you are now without your husband. You might watch some KZbin videos on lap activities such as card-making, miniature watercolors, origami, and that sort of thing. Maybe you have an iPhone or your helper could bring you one with which you could do FaceTime calls with friends or family. I find those the closest to being with someone. I'm 81, and I wonder at times what I'd do, how I'd be, without my husband! All the best to you!

Can’t exactly explain why watching you do these normally ‘mundane’ things…cutting labels/receipts off new purchases, making a bed (for goodness sake) and spritzing a new fern, etc. etc. makes my heart relax and my head nod with pleasure! But it does! Love, as always from California

I’ve been very depressed the past year as I’ve been going through a lot with my mental and physical health, as a result my space has turned into a mess and I’ve been struggling to do basic things to take care of it and myself. I used to deeply enjoy decorating and taking care of my space and self. Thank you for such peaceful and beautiful videos that bring me sparks of joy and remind me of my past happier artistic self that I can slowly begin returning to through finding inspiration from your videos.

The mirror is much better over the dining sideboard. Love it there. ❤️ And might I suggest putting something like a small plastic empty food container upside down in the bottom of your terracotta pot to make the top of the plant container nearer to the top, so the fern sides can spread out better and won’t be forced to stand up.

[@patriciahall2223]

There is nothing more beautiful than seeing how much a person cares for their garden , love your vlog ....🇨🇦

[@vickimaiorano5763]

Ah, that was so soothing. An observation (definitely not a criticism) - dishwashing, here in Australia we would never leave the tap running. We fill the sink with water and suds and wash that way. Being a very dry country we treat water as a precious resource. Lucky you to not have to ration it. Another observation is you put your duvet buttons up near the pillows. I have always put them At the foot of the bed. I’ll try it your way as it looks neater 😀

[@50hellkat2]

There are a lot of fires in Australia for some reason so I am not surprised water is precious.

[@SarahWelstead]

I noticed the buttons at the top too! Funny how you think you're the only one who notices weird little things - nice to know I'm not. (But I still prefer the open end of the duvet down at the bottom.)

[@amariluna]

Unfortunately, not everybody is as conscientious about water here in Australia although I think generally we are quite good about looking after the environment.

[@ABC_DEF]

In the UK we have plenty of water and it isn't normally metred. You pay a standing charge however much or little you use. But running the hot tap continuously wastes energy and so I avoid it. I am constantly turning the taps on and off while doing the washing up. That's what takes the time: every item has to be rinsed in clean water as hot as your hands can bear. I've never lived in a house with a dishwasher.

[@withsapphires]

It was ingrained in me by my grandmother that the button on the duvet ALWAYS go at the foot of the bed.

[@paulazv414]

Everytime I watch your videos I can feel the smell of fresh white flowers coming from the screen. Thank you for such soothing experience!

[@NicolasFairford]

I sprayed some Classic by David Beckham around the room as I watched the video -- it helped enhance the experience.

That's the joy of you Nicholas. You are never negative...you find positivity in everything. That's why your videos are so calming and restorative.

Nicholas you are such good therapy. I was feeling so anxious after a busy day and minutes into this weeks episode the stress melted away. You make it possible to believe there is still beauty and inspiration in our everyday lives. Something we all need right now. I have found in this crazy rushed world the only way to have peace is to create my own private world at home. It's the one place I have control over negative influences. By limiting world news and social media I have restored peace in my life. I would much rather read my favorite design book or choose an uplifting channel like yours. Keep bringing us wonderful content. Love to you and Miss Sophie.

I have a guy friend who LOVES to wash dishes. He said the same thing about washing dishes being therapeutic. I wash my dishes by hand immediately and never let let them pile up whereas he would let the dishes pile up for days and set aside time to wash them. I have an open concept apartment and the kitchen is the first thing you see when you walk in so I'm constantly putting things away and washing cups! I really like how your dining room has come together, I think it's one of those rooms you never think you need, until you need it.

You remind me of myself, with all the attention to detail. I enjoy doing housework for the simple reason that it gives you time to appreciate all the nice things you have been blessed with. And what better way to show appreciation than by taking good care of your things. I'm new to your channel and really enjoy all the beauty you create.

Your efforts are appreciated. I can rewatch this vid multiple times, it’s so calming and pleasing.

Hey, just want to comment on the use of water whilst you were washing the dishes. I think it would be best if you turn the faucet off in between washing and rinsing, just to ensure that we all do our part in conserving water. Just a friendly note. Really love watching your show, it always relaxes me. 😃

Seems there is a dim recollection of sunshine dried sheets. Not only ironed but starched as well. Your home is peaceful.

After a smashed windscreen and a bruised toe (separate incidents!) I’m glad to settle down and watch you organise things. I feel like I have gained a little order again.

[@NicolasFairford]

Sorry to hear about that, but glad to know the day is getting better for you!

[@mikemclane8821]

so horrible ... I hope you had a nice time at the party and that you learned a lesson about the horrors of driving after a having a little bit too much fun! (wink, wink)

I found this so very calming Nicolas. I so enjoy your video's.

Your new space is looking great! I love that you put the painting over the fireplace.... I was hoping you’d try that. And I’m so glad you kept the big mirror! It really reflects the light. You chose a good place for it - it adds light and makes the space look bigger. Thanks for taking us along today, I really enjoyed it. 💗

Love Love LOVE your content! I will tell you if you cut the burnt wicks of your candles in half you will find less smoke and a longer life of your candles. Thank You Nick for bringing us unmitigated joy to our lives!

The club chairs that you've said you want to replace---club chairs are my all-time favorite and the most comfortable seat in the house. Maybe some snappy new upholstery and new seat cushion would be a good option instead of ditching them??

[@NicolasFairford]

Possibly! x

[@CarolStJohn-ev9ry]

I LOVE those chairs too.

Your vlogs are so relaxing… thank you! Love from South Africa 😎🇿🇦

[@dereknewbury163]

What a unique person you are Mr. Fairford, so unlike my much more chaotic self. Congratulations on being truly yourself

Nicolas, this was a very charming and warm video. The way you make your bed is a wonderful old fashion way to do so when you fold the sheets over the comforter as you did. It really takes me back to my childhood when that was always the way you made your beds. Your bed and bedroom are very lovely.

That mirror looks fantastic over that sideboard in your dining room. I buy those hand towels at IKEA as well, as they are so useful. And I am admiring all your sets of staffordshire dogs! I have been unable to find one reasonably priced set, but I am enjoying the hunt! I have had to settle for singleton ceramic hunting dogs so far!

[@cindygarrison6338]

Me too! They are pricey!!!

[@NicolasFairford]

Thank you so much ! I hope you find some Staffordshire dogs soon!
