[@yynyc]

Your renovated basement looks absolutely wonderful! The before and after footage had me going 😱😍!

[@jayjaytailor]

Terrific job! Your basement is more chic than my entire house!!

[@anna-xu1hf]

JayJay Tailor its not a fucking basement she lives in england you wally

[@EmmaHill]

🤣 Im confused as to what we call basements in the UK if they aren't basements?

[@jayjaytailor]

@@anna-xu1hf Excuse me??!!

[@sallyannc3176]

@@anna-xu1hf Umm - it is a basement , that's what we call it here in the UK.

[@kimberlyoconnor1710]

OMG. I can’t believe it’s the same basement. Well done!

[@EmmaHill]

Thank you ❤️

[@jillsteven5822]

Whole house looks fantastic..hats off for not divorcing 😀

[@EmmaHill]

🤣 It came close a couple of times, especially when Simon had painted everywhere and someone then changed their mind on the colour 🙈🤣 #itwasntme 🤣

[@dianneporter3350]

Wow! What a difference!! You have renovated this space beautifully and yes of course you are thrilled! You two are the King & Queen of DIY. Great job guys!!! 👍👍👍👍👍

[@ladyzinny]

The value of your house has gone up in ways I can’t imagine - great work 💯👌🏽

[@laurabrenchley1092]

It’s sad how excited I was to see youd posted this!! Must remember that I don’t actually live there and it is not my house 🥺 love love love what you’ve done with the space, practical yet stylish as always! x

[@weisabunny]

Laura Brenchley ha! Me too!! 🤭🤪🤣 I think I literally gasped 🙄😌🤣🤣💕💕💕💕

[@laverneantonio32]

So happy it’s not just me. Saw that Emma had posted on IG and was like, shit is it the 15th already? 😆 leaves family to sneak a watch of the basement video 😅

[@lzsutw]

It's so crazy how Boris actually went and picked up dolphin AS SOON AS you said it. It melted my heart!!

[@chillijules2300]

OMG I've been sooooo excited to see this completed reno. WOW, WOW, WOW I just can't believe it's the same room. With your talent in DIY and design you guys need to have your own little show!!!! I'm sure there are lot's of your followers who would love your help, You could start with some of my rooms lol. We have a house in France that has a cellar that's just like yours was originally I think I'll show this video to my hubby. XX

[@soullacharalambous6553]

Great job!! Aesthetically pleasing!!! Bravo to Simon who painted the place twice without complaining!! You are very lucky Emma:) 😘

[@simoncreasey4067]

🤣 there may have been a little complaining 🤣

[@BasementFinishingMan]

Nice Job Guys...This was a very unique basement to remodel! I love the ideas and the final product. Just goes to show you that an older basement with a lower ceiling height does not mean that it can not turn into a beautiful new living space! Thanks for making this very informative video for your viewers! ~Eddie

[@jkggeg]

It looks great! Been super keen to see the before and after and it looks fab! I’ve been loving all your home reno videos and seeing how much you’re doing yourselves 🙌🏼

[@EmmaHill]

Thank you. It has been so good to get it done but we are pleased now its almost over 🤣 I don't think Simon wants to see a paint brush ever again🤣

[@erikakiss8855]

Brilliant job, you two! The basement is now 100% usable and the perfect extension to the kitchen area. Now put your feet up, relax and enjoy the results of your hard work! Hopefully, you will be able to take the vacation(s) you planned as well. 😍😍😍

[@mandygoff5353]

Love the transformation. And so love that the whole family gets involved. Yourself, Simon, fur babies. And even dolphin 😃 !!!

[@EmmaHill]

LOL boris' lil dolphin, he doesn't go anywhere without him 🤣

[@juliefitzgerald2948]

WOW!!! What a transformation, well done to both of you!! It's an amazing space to have and was thrilled to see the green plants scattered about, I'm always commenting how plants make a room more cosy and finished. If you had guests stay, you could even put up a temp bed in that area. Fabulous!!! x

[@lfavre7]

This transformation is just AMAZING! I really love all the colors and the plants are a nice ideal to give more living atmosphere down there. Congrats to you both!

[@anacristinaguerra2681]

I was waiting patiently for this video, but I wasn't expecting this. How stylish is it??? I just looooveeeee how you managed to make that space so stylish and functional.and that little landry corner Is on point! Well done Emma and Simon!! You can take a break now and enjoy your hard work!! 🤗🤗🤗

[@jessicagrahame5044]

It looks awesome, what a difference. If it were mine, the only thing I'd add would be a clothes hanger attached to the wall in the utility section, one of the ones that pull down just to add to the functionality 😊 loving this series!

[@teresaburrows1118]

Wow it looks great what a change. Well done you have a very good eye to what works throughout your home. It's all looking lovely Emma x

[@beewithcee]

There are loads of other youtubers that have their house renovations or house tours but by far I like Emma’s the best because it’s inspiring and has loads of creative and achievable tips! You’re more than a fashion influencer in my opinion! Thank you again for taking us through the journey! X

[@EmmaHill]

❤️

[@Mekhala1415]

What a transformation, well done you two! It looks so much brighter and the colour choice in the utility with the white base really works. I can see you’ve chosen more shade loving plants, well done Simon, give them a misting of water every week and they’ll love it. The radiators are great and will make it much more usable space too. I know it’s been a hard few months, I had no idea you were doing the whole house, but you should be very proud of yourselves and now be able to relax in your beautiful new house 😘

[@EmmaHill]

Thank you ❤️ We hadn't really planned on doing this much (it was only meant to be the basement and our room and then a lick of paint everywhere else) and it kind of snowballed as we went along but it was definitely worth the disruptions for the last few months as we now have everything how we wanted it and every space is usable and functional, so we are really chuffed 👍

[@simoncreasey4067]

❤️

[@ruminderauluck8575]

OMG!!! AMAZING transformation and hats of to you and Simon. You have both made it into a wonderful functional part of the home. I was awaiting this reno with excitement as I knew you would do something spectacular. The plants and colours give it a warm and welcoming feel. I was in shock when you revealed the full transformation. Enjoy!

[@jop1642]

You've done a fantastic job, throughout, but the basement start to finish is amazing. Well done!!

[@lisabowvintage5864]

Wow what a change!! 🤩 I’m a sucker for before and afters...all the hard work you’ve both put in and it looks so good!

[@rebeccaelkington-clarke5002]

Love the transformation! Actually I’ve loved your Reno and decorating vlogs as a whole! Such a great eye for decorating and interiors!

[@EmmaHill]

Thank you ❤️

[@Frick_79]

I said a gym when you asked us to guess and it looks great! As the wall is black the TV kind of blends in and doesn’t look overpowering. The whole area is a million times better and more functional, love a good utility room. The plants and carpets soften it all too. Bravo guys 😍👏🏻

[@victoriajohn3988]

This looks amazing!! To be able to see that end result in your mind thru all the stuff that was there at the start is a true talent. Love it. And it’s made me hanker for a utility room...

[@suzannevanrijnsoever5593]

All your videos make me so happy and put a smile on my face. My boyfriend broke up with me a couple days ago so your videos keep me going. Thank you Emma. 😊❤

[@EmmaHill]

Sorry to hear that. I hope you are ok, sending our love ❤️

[@Molscheira]

WOW, just wow!! So organized, functional and aesthetically pleasing 💓 Amazing job you two!

[@unakeane532]

I’m actually shocked at how much space and light and airy and clean the basement looks. It’s so fresh and well thought out. The home gym is a clever idea. Furniture suggestions mini fridge in retro colours, simons prints, industrial lockers for your gym. Well done to ye both for all your hard work.

[@shelleypoole6415]

Amazing transformation! So beautiful. I love how you added all the plants down there, makes it cozy and fresh. Simon can even turn that room into a gaming room if he wanted. Love how you guys are hands on in doing most of the work yourself. 🤗

[@simplygorgeousnina]

That is the most chic DIY basement transformation I’ve ever seen. Awesome job to the two of you!! You both deserve a pat on the back and a drink. Love what you did your space. Cheers! 🥂

[@EmmaHill]

thank you 🥂❤️

[@simplygorgeousnina]

*to your space

[@lovyneed]

The basement looks amazing!!! I can totally see some cool posters on the gym part of the basement and for some reason I imagined a futon like lounge thing on that ample vacant space, next to the weights as well. An amazing job guys!! 😍😍

[@practicalmissusp1052]

Was about to sleep but saw the notification!!! Now I can sleep a lot better! Love this! 💓

[@latishacampbell5764]

Thanks for including the shots of the tradesmen. I really like that kind of stuff when it comes to home improvement. 👍

[@antoinetteandrzejewski6893]

OMG, one of the best basement transformation after renovation I’ve seen in years!

[@EmmaHill]

Thank you ❤️

[@sofiafigari7628]

WOW!!!!! You completely transformed the space!!! It looks so open and bright. House goals!

[@EmmaHill]

❤️

[@weisabunny]

21:12 amazing!!!! And a rower is the BEST!!!! full body, low impact machine!!! Bikes are great too, but rowing is full body. Y’all have everything you need! I’d personally just want to add a DVD player for my workout videos (very retro, I know), a yoga mat, exercise bands and id be happy as a lark! Great job guys!!!! Oh and your closet *IS* so exciting!!!!

[@EmmaHill]

I do have a little area on the wall with a yoga mat and exercise bands (next to the gas meter cupboard). But a DVD player 🙈😱🙈 🤣 Very retro but if it works for you that's all that matters ❤️ I do like a row on the row machine, but need to get back in to the habit of using it. 🙈🤣

[@weisabunny]

@@EmmaHill Ha, I know... so retro. It's just lovely! I watch movies while I row. I set the timer for 20 minutes, sometimes go over it, but 20 is my aim. I also find doing it first thing in the morning is WAY easier. Anyway, congrats, it must feel SO SO SO much better going down there now! So happy for you all and so much hard work! xx

[@pippade-negri8111]

WOW!!!!!! What a stunning transformation! I had no clue what it was going to look like it’s beautiful 😍

[@EmmaHill]

Thank you ❤️

[@JanaBibi25]

This is hands down the best reno I have ever seen. Are You kidding me? It looks better than my flat! Gobsmacked

[@EmmaHill]

❤️

[@anar.7028]

Wow !! That turned out to be quite a usefull, fancy space. Love the plants, it gives it a very nice ambience. The B's seem to like it too.Great job guys. 😘👍👏

[@EmmaHill]

They have been going crazy on the new carpet (its the only one we have in the house aside from on the stairs so they are making the most of it 🤣)

[@mominahussain11]

It's an understatement when I say I've been excited to watch this transformation. The space looks amazing!! Who said a basement couldn't be aesthetic?

[@skylilly1]

Wow! The basement looks great! Love the mirror and the plants. What a great space!

[@lisaschreiber2893]

I'm stunned to see how low the ceilings are down there, you both did an incredible job with it. my favorite part was the very artistic way you hid your gas meter, simply stunning and brilliant.

[@vivianlamonica625]

Nothing better than having an Emma and Simon video while being quarantined. Thank you both!!

[@EmmaHill]

Hope you are doing well ❤️

[@Summer-ov6kj]

Omgggggggggggggggggg what?! You guys are just non stop this is the most drastic make over I’ve seen and wow what an extraordinary outcome ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

[@macharmza]

Love what you guys have done with the basement, I could literally live in this space.

[@jodine90]

I really appreciate the calm edit to your videos! Super useful at the moment :D

[@yellowokapi]

Thank you for providing such great, interesting, relaxing content always! And at times like this. So appreciated!

[@catherineoconnor518]

It’s fabulous Emma! Your whole home is so elegant & beautiful 🤗

[@MetaMM]

Love it!! So cozy and practical at the same time. Very nicely divided and decorated.

[@selfinance206]

Such a great transformation and really nice knowing you guys decided to stick to the plans and turn something miserable into a wonderful place!

[@mareneliise]

This is one of the best transformations I've ever seen! This is amazing, it looks SO GOOD! 😍

[@EmmaHill]

Thank you ❤️

[@jjjohnston545]

Amazing job. It looks really good. I didn’t know it had so much potential. Good job in seeing the potential of the space

[@Radiatingbeauty]

Great job the basement looks much better organized and warm. It is amazing how that window as well adds so much light 💡! 👍😘😘

[@angiecarvajal3]

OMG I can't believe how amazing it looks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@clairewolstenholme1066]

Absolutely loving the renovation content! So much inspiration ❤️ the basement looks amazing guys 🥰

[@susanneflora3133]

Looks amazing! ⭐️ What did you do with all the bits you stored there previously? I spotted suitcases etc. Did you put it up in the new attic? Would love to see that as well! A "storage solutions and spots" around the house sort of video would be so interesting, as this is so essential to manage to keep things tidy!

[@EmmaHill]

Yes, lots of it went in to the attic (which I why we had the boarding added). But we also sorted through lots of it and some went to charity and some to the recycling/rubbish centre and other pieces have been stored more efficiently in the storage cupboards we now have down there 👍

[@63Lsp]

WOWOW! Amazing transformation! Proper laundry space is a happy thing and yours is gorgeous!

[@RussandSherri1996]

OMGosh, Wow, Amazing! Love love this transformation. Fabulous job you two! This was my fav part yet of the whole reno.

[@suziejames7510]

You two have worked so hard. Can't believe the transformation. Makes me wish I had a basement.x

[@Whalien808]

It turned out so nice, and it looks so much bigger now with the renovation

[@ostamp90]

Literally don't know what superlative I could say that's not been used. Absolutely incredible!!!

[@cynthiafarnham1166]

What a spectacular change! Well done!! Especially the laundry corner. Makes that drudge chore somewhat enjoyable. I bet you said, “Why didn’t we do this sooner?!”

[@KatrisMs]

Absolutely love your renovation series! So inspiring and I love the fact that you guys do as much as you can yourself. Makes me feel I can do it myself too one day 😍

[@littlechicky0206]

The editing on this, Simon, it’s ya best work mate! Also, Emma - this basement reno is prob the most anticipated transformation for me. And I’m only a few mins in... can’t wait to see it!!

[@simoncreasey4067]

It was worth the wait. It’s lovely and functional. I think you’ve made the most of the space and made it functional and appealing. The whole house journey has been wonderful to watch. I feel like I could walk into the house and know exactly where to go. Like an old friend. Can’t wait to see the bathroom redo in the future. And I agree with Simon that you will refill ur closet by the end of the calendar year. Sorry Emma!
