Welcome back! We are sooo chuffed with our new lounge, what do you think? 😀 Big thank you to Dermatica for sponsoring today, there's links in the description for UK or US if you want to try it! We'll be back in August with the UK Road Trip Vlogs! See you then, Brogan & Benji xx

[@Julieblake2909]

Love LOVE the lounge makeover ❤ Enjoy every second of your road trip and can’t wait for a catch up in August xx

[@Solomumtoone]

My son couldn't sleep last night and was having some anxiety. He asked to watch Brogan and Benji, he calmed down and went to sleep thank you so much x

[@jackierj]

You two are always so thoughtful towards one another, it’s the sweetest thing ever! Great home vlog💕

[@marywilliamson4465]

Definitely go for the dark bedroom! I painted mine dark navy, and carried it over to the ceiling and it’s SO cosy! It’s literally heaven! X

[@lifewithrhi]

I LOVE the lounge! It looks so nice and cozy☺️

[@vickiquinn1196]

Benj looks like marv from home alone at the beginning when he has been sanding 😂 The lounge looks lovely. 😊

[@user-np9bw7yt1o]

A fluffy rug to tie in some of the dark blue would go so well too!

[@lisabatchelor5659]

I love your blue wall in the lounge & your beautiful wedding photos stand out even more on the dark background. Think we all need a Benji in our life , that is so thoughtful , can cook and is good at diy ! Enjoy your time away on your road trip❤

[@rachaeljones5767]

What a lovely room so modern, a great re fresh . Nice to see your getting that spark back in yourself xx

[@sianmarylouise]

B&M usually have lovely velvet cushions! 😍

[@angelafoxwood2410]

Benji should get his own show - he had me in hysterics! Love the blue wall, makes a pleasant change to see some colour! Much love, Angela F ❤

[@daley3224]

Your hair looks lovely in this vlog!!!

[@jayhenry1098]

I absolutely love Paige toon, I’ve read all of her books, they have all totally gripped me to the point I can’t put them down 🤣🤣

[@danahgow9946]

Oh I love the Blue! It looks so regal and expensive! I also think it makes your wedding pictures really pop and they look amazing! I think going darker in your bedroom is a great idea! I want to do the same and I feel like we often put off painting as it’s a ‘Big job’ but it’s SO worth it when the outcome looks that good. I hope you guys are having a great time on your road trip! Thank you for the great home ( and Book!) content as always 🫶🏻💕

[@jenx89]

The lounge looks lovely, absolutely agree that a couple of navy cushions would finish it off perfectly! Have an amazing road trip x

[@wendyluvsbooks1580]

I love your lounge room , the wedding photos looks wonderful up on the wall , and so do the flowers you put in the frame , can’t wait to see where you go on your trip …. Safe travels ❤

[@morganpreiss5449]

Watching this while in my midday work slump! Ready to get myself motivated as you also do all the things ❣️

[@brogantatexo]

Sending love! xx

[@sallyharris3100]

I love how the dried flowers turned out! So good for the first time and in odd circumstances (on a cruise!) What I love about drying flowers is that they will continue to change over time, so they may yellow a bit more as they continue to dry.

[@gaynoroverton25]

Love the blue. I’ve got it in the lounge also. Would like to invest in shutters too they are gorgeous

[@annellis1]

Your living room looks fab. I love the idea of a projector but have no clue what i should be looking for

[@lbowen30]

Your lounge looks beautiful - so comfy & cosy and your pictures look so good against the blue background! Have an amazing time away x x ❤

[@shelleyj210]

OBSESSED with your living room. The blue is gorgeous. Have the best time away, York is one of my favourite places to go x

[@kathtaylor5544]

The lounge looks amazing. I love the dark blue wall, the shutters everything about it, I love it.

[@leogirlie33]

BROJI strikes again!! Can’t wait to watch this with hubby after work! (Ever since the wedding cruise vlogs, I’m no longer “allowed” to watch this solo.) 😂😅 Hubs enjoys BROJI too much now too! 🫶✌️ Enjoy the roadtrip! 🚗💨 Waving thru a window from San Francisco 👋

[@andrewyates7429]

Ive only been following you and benj since your world cruise/marriage and i really enjoy the enthusiasm, love and friendship that the two of you have for each other. Remember you work to live not live to work. Take care both of you and im looking forward to your next , refreshed and relaxed vlog 😊

[@olivia8130]

The living room looks fab, hope you and benji have a great trip and get the break you need!☺️

[@colettemikaelson160]

[@Ccnewman17]

Love the blue wall. Really sets everything off. Excellent job!

[@stinajones9847]

Nothing better than winding down a hectic Monday with a new Brogan vlog. ☕️❤

[@sophiawitkowski1082]

Love your living room your wedding photos are beautiful love your home vlogs thanks for sharing xx

Thanks so much! 😊

[@sallywallace7440]

Running through my own to-dos, thanks for the motivation! Enjoy your travels 😊

[@brogantatexo]

Aww yay! Hope it all goes well 🥰

[@bethmacdonald7117]

Love the living room and the flowers actually look really good ❤ we bought all our furniture for our living from Roseland! X

[@natalieanne444]

The wedding flowers in the frame looked beautiful xx

[@bec.11]

The blue wall and the wedding photos 📸 look stunning. It looks amazing 😊🇦🇺👋

[@christinamaya777]

Love a home reno video! It was also SO good to see you look and feel better than the last vlog. Hope the roadtrip helps you feel even better. Can’t wait for the vlogs in August. ❤

[@lizjones6946]

Love the lounge! Gold frames really pick out the wall ❤

[@cherylpaul1509]

Enjoy your trip! Take some downtime 😊

[@amymulvenna4690]

Love your new living room!! Enjoy your trip away!

[@robyn5868]

It looks fab! We also have a Sapphire Salute wall in our living room and love how cosy the dark blue is. Hope you're doing well and still taking time to rest and recuperate xxx

[@Stylinson34]

For the flowers that went a bit funny you could always replace them with the same type of flower pressed!

[@lyndawalters7751]

Love love love the lounge. The colours and furnishings look amazing ❤

[@KayleighAnne100]

The frame with your flowers looks stunning. I absolutely love it. I had fake flowers so that I could keep the whole bouquet but I would have loved this. I feel like you were disappointed because you expected some of the colour to still be there, it's one of those things you don't really think about, but it looks so lovely on your new media cabinet. I feel you with the packing. We went to a Parkdean a couple of weeks ago and I'm normally very good with packing but I couldn't get my head in the right place and ended up just throwing things in Suitcases and bags the morning we were going. I feel like I get myself really overwhelmed now I have to pack for my twin 3 year olds too and I make it more complicated than it needs to be. Realistically if I forget anything it can always be picked up. Hope you're having a wonderful roadtrip and looking forward to seeing the vlogs xxx

[@TeresaOSullivan-y3i]

[@joannewilliams41]

Wooooooow!! Love your lounge makeover- it all looks amazing 😃🥰🥰 thank you for sharing and have a wonderful road trip 🥰🥰🥰xxxx

[@lydiagoddard5405]

Now I feel trendy as this is my living room decor too! Usually am copying KZbinrs/instagram myself 😂 looks really lovely, we find it so cosy having one dark wall and the gold just compliments it so well! Xx

[@steph_williams]

We've had that same paint colour on our lounge wall for 5 years now and still love it x

[@Bene_1989]

I love your lounge💙 the color of the wall with your wedding photos is lovely! Benji you did a great job. XoXo from France

[@anasky00]

Lovely lounge! Amd it's great to have a video from you on a Monday! Reminds me of 'old times' 😂

[@TTTTASHA29]

Your lounge room looks amazing. You are great at interior decorating. The shutters look very practical and easy to maintain. Your room is so versatile you could have a summer and a winter look/change just with change of prints and cushions. I am very interested in your home cinema set up. I will have to research on the internet. I am going to definitely get a copy of that bookshop book it sounds wonderful. A great fav of mine is The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. Thank you for showing us and wishing you both a fab trip away.

[@katelynnclark5345]

Love the lounge redo! :) our living room looks very similar with the blue feature wall!

[@narelle61]

Loved it! With your cushions you could get them made to the size, design, shape. To make sure they match just purchase another one or two curtains and either cut them up or get someone to make them for you, we did this and they turned out perfect just a thought. Enjoy your Road trip, these trips are so wonderful. Your revamped room looks a million dollars, Loved your pressed flowers frame what a fabulous idea. Stay safe, drive careful and remember to always take time out for yourself, love from Down Under 🚙💖

[@CaitlynCornes]

The blue looks fab!! We have a blue ceiling in our lounge and it's my favourite thing. Love the furniture and the gold accents - it's crazy what a good room refresh can do!!!

[@Lisasplace]

the disney blanket fits the lounge well also!

[@jennifernewman672]

Gorgeous lounge! There's me thinking, huh, Disney lite and then the prints appeared and all felt right with the world hahaha. Have a lovely break!

[@clairetruscott3263]

I love your front room. That blue looks stunning. I'm currently home with Covid 😢 so I'm binge watching you guys 😅 xx

[@alexsmith1800]

I really love your flowers and them in the picture frame, it’s such a sentimental piece🩷

[@khardy1801]

Love the new lounge room. IKEA frames never seem to be standard photo sizes.

[@creativereindeer]

What!!?! You’re recovering from Burnout and you can be THAT creative - I am ever impressed but what a huge nod to your capacity even when things are SO hard. Your redecoration looks FABULOUS. It came together beautifully and it was a nice thing re you introduced me to the idea that we could get a projector (!) we also love it in our living room and it’s top stuff! You both are such good eggs I wish you every blessing as you journey around the UK and continue to heal. I’d love to try some of this skincare stuff when I’m not breastfeeding, hopefully you’ll still be working with them when I’m game!! Massive hugs and respect from London xx

[@brogantatexo]

Aww thank you. Kudos to Benji for this one though! He did most of the work, such a great job. Thank you so much! Sending love to you! xx

[@creativereindeer]

@@brogantatexo indeed!! Huge Kudos to Benji!! The sanding vibe is THE one 😂🤣👌👌

[@rawlyroo5975]

The wedding photos are so incredibly beautiful ❤

[@disversalduo2025]

OMG yes, love, love, love ❤ a floppy book. Btw, lounge looks lush, too! 😂😂😂

[@Brent-Emma18]

Hi Brogan! I really enjoyed tonight`s home vlog, I love watching you and benji your relationship is warming and the comforting! Have you ever thought about writing your own book one day? Ive been hoping and praying that this may be a thing one day. Lots of love to you both xx

[@Becky.Nashville90]

Yours and Benji’s reaction to the pressed flowers made me laugh ☺️ I like what you did with the photo frame though, and your wedding photos are lovely 💞

[@ilsehunt6798]

The lounge looks beautiful 🤩

[@eleanormarsh1929]

Your new lounge is lovely! We have that exact paint and colour scheme in our hallway! Have a wonderful holiday Xx

[@MISSLEONAJB]

Hey sweetie 🤗 I love how the lounge has turned out - the blue wall with your wedding pics is beautiful 😍 Have the best time away and a lovely well-deserved break - I can’t wait for the vlogs ☺️ take care beautiful ♥️ xxx

[@brionylonergan871]

I had the same mould issue with pressed flowers - lightly spray them with isopropyl alcohol, and repress in between tissues!! Cleared it up on mine really well. Might have to do it a few times and just keep checking every couple of days 😊

[@veronicacoates8832]

Love the new living room!

[@jomo7388]

oooh how beautiful are the morning curls

[@traceydemaid5921]

Also thanks for the book recommendations have bought and downloaded to my kindle for holiday reads x

[@Carole617]

Love the lounge ,it's so stylish ,great job guys . Great vlog as always x

[@Anniemaay16]

A large mirror on the wall opposite the windows would make the room feel larger and brighter! ❤

[@myraconnelly7965]

Your lounge is soooo lovely especially the shutters really finish it off great job you both ❤

[@tamsingray9347]

Simply because I had to change mine recently because it didn’t match, I would change the curtain pole and tie backs to match the gold accents in the room! Mine annoyed me so much 😂

[@lisabarry8738]

Hi Guys, love a home vlog your lounge looks so lovely really cosy❤ Hope you have an amazing road trip look forward to seeing the vlog…lots of love xxx
