My name is Lucy, I'm a Dutchwoman here to offer an alternative approach to beauty.
On this channel you'll find a decade's worth of hair tutorials where I show you how to braid, pin and style your own hair. I recreate hairstyles from movies, tv shows or history and have regularly come up with my own, which I love to share with you!
I really enjoy diving into history to find out how women went about their beauty and dressing rituals in days past. Vintage and history-themed videos are my joy, as is my latest passion: sewing and costuming.
You'll find a bit of lifestyle content here as well, ranging from cozy chats over a cup of tea (my beloved Tea Time videos) to personal vlogs and slow & conscious living videos.
Enjoy browsing!
Love,
Lucy

It’s becoming so cosy and beautiful.

[@johnreynolds6074]

Your home is very nice, You and Robert have a lovely design and color taste. Great job for both of you. Your sewing room/ Studio is coming together nicely.!

[@Phabieau42]

These are my favorite videos. I check for them every day.

[@turbotoshikiara1931]

You both can be so proud of yourself. Your home gets better and better. ♥️♥️♥️

[@aliiannucci3135]

I hope you can get back into doing art for you! We don't need to see it--you share so much of your life already, and art can be such a private and vulnerable thing. I hope it brings you joy and comfort!

[@ScarletHeather76]

You can pierce the bubbles with a pin, and use your tool to smooth them out. I love that no matter what you're up to, your videos are relaxing and peaceful.

[@KatjeKat86]

A heat gun also helps. You might be able to use a hair dryer on hot to do it I'm not sure.

[@ScarletHeather76]

@@KatjeKat86 I don’t have a heat gun myself. I will try my hair dryer on it’s hottest setting next time it comes up though. I’m interested to see if it works.

[@HRH_Queen_JoJo]

Good to know your walls are sturdy!

[@Bookwormscififan]

The sewing studio looks amazing!! I feel like a blue or beige on the walls would look cosy and inspiring. Also enjoyed seeing Robbert helping out! He’s cool to watch!

[@annalavender6489]

And maybe paint the "beams" too in a darker colour. I think it would look beautiful and cosy.

[@tavaslone-young6470]

You are an artist!

[@grimmmunro2279]

Love the bedroom loupsie. X

[@Lindsey8907]

You know what would be great for organizing your kitchen spices would be to get some labels and put them on the caps of your spices. That way when you open your drawer, you know exactly which spice is which instead of pulling each container out to find the one you’re looking for.

[@littlefuckingPanda]

I actually don’t recommend having a mirror opposite to your bed. I used to have one there as well and let me tell you, since putting it somewhere else the quality of my sleep has improved SO much. And when I told that to friends it turns out it’s not that untypical. I mean, non of my business really haha but I just thought I say something :) Having mirrors in the inside of the closet doors was a nice compromise for me personally :] Anyways, the bedroom looks magical!! So beautiful

[@PumpkinSpicedHorrorShow]

Everything is coming together so beautifully - you have impeccable taste! I particularly love the colour palette in the bedroom. The greens are absolutely lush and that wallpaper?? oh my gosh. Gorgeous. It feels strange because I have obviously never met you, but I am just so happy for you and your husband! You seem like such a sweet person and you deserve every happiness. ☺️

[@mce1939]

You are an artist for sure! Totally agree with you about doing your art for yourself. Everything is looking good. I've been watching you since your videos in your parents' house! It's been fun to follow your moving and house journey.

[@emmaRBC]

I looooove how the bedroom is coming along! It's so cosy and elegant

[@nyranyrabobyra1384]

Fantastic

[@sylviaz1987]

I am loving watching all your home reno vids. You and Robert are working so hard to put your stamp on your house, massive kudos to you both! Love your decor and your color schemes, the colors of nature are always so beautiful!

[@Yorea]

I'm curious why you went with blinds and not the see through kind of curtains? That's how we keep out privacy without sacrificing too much light :D Love seeing the sewing space getting together though! Gets me excited for the day I move out :)

[@michellem.4358]

Everything is coming together so well. Looks like you will be ready to decorate again for vlogmas!!! Also, I like the cozy tea hoodie.

[@Yo-shee]

I found myself looking back at old KZbin videos I had saved, it’s crazy how time passed by. The first video I saw of hers was when I was looking for a heatless curl method and her video popped up for the sock bun method lol. I’m happy time has treated you well 😊

[@trollpuken]

Can you believe I've followed you on your journey from your kid room to this!?

[@mayfair_forest_witch]

Lucy, your design skills are top notch, I'm in awe, your house is coming together so gorgeous! 🥰😍

[@claudiagonzalez8686]

Please take us shopping with you! Do they have seasonal decorations in the Netherlands?

[@XSunnyHeartX]

The Sewing Room of my dreams 😍 Also, from my experience: If you have the mirror door facing your bed, you won't be able to look at yourself / your outfit because there is not enough distance between you and the mirror. You will always have to open the door at look at yourself from the side.

[@genrainey8394]

Everything is coming together so beautifully!

[@hazeleyeartist]

Yay! I skipped past all my other videos in my subscription list to watch yours! Everything is coming together so nicely. I am loving the updates. I feel like you two must be exhausted because you have both done so much so quickly.

[@queenebil]

I love everything you've done with the house! It looks amazing. Ikea should be sponsoring you, if they were an option here I'd buy all their things because of your videos.

[@elfenscheisse]

Oh, I would so much love to see the art as a part of your content! But I unterstand the Problem.

[@shellsbellswac1]

YAY! I always get so excited to see your home renovation and decoration videos! Things are coming along so beautifully!

[@stevezytveld6585]

Such lovely progress. Well done. I'd be tempted to move the work desk away from the wall. Sit with your back to the wall, facing into the room. That way you get to look out the window when you're sitting and working at your sewing machine? - Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown/Pimisi

[@lmkays]

It’s amazing how it’s all come together so quickly! It’s just beautiful

[@Jo-oq2xy]

A light sage green (similiar to the leaves of your wallpaper or a bit lighter) would look cute in the studio space, especially cuz you want the light to reflect as much as possible in a art/work space. Love the bedroom btw that wall colour is stunning and the wall lamp, love it.

[@asiaclayed]

Yay! So much progress and it's nice to see. I also had years of not doing art after art school, I like how you put it "the one that got away". True loves like that just wait in the heart, hope you love getting back to it!

[@mystiqueivy]

This is sooo exciting!! Looove how the house is coming along! Every room looks great! Soo excited about your studio space, I think it's the space I was looking forward to being renovated the most! *-* looking awesome already! That and the library/green kitchen corner thing are my absolute favorite parts/angles of your home. I've been loving these reno vlogs so much! Ty for sharing!

[@MrRKWRIGHT]

Good morning Loepsie. Your sewing skills are impeccable.

[@pheart2381]

Its nice to see everything coming together slowly.

[@claudiagonzalez8686]

Will the contractor do your backsplash as well? The French doors with the ceiling??? I love seeing your house come together! ❤

[@Outback0423]

I love all the art, looks lovely in your new home. The living area is so cozy and welcoming.

[@modern_victorian_sarah]

Just started watching but that wallpaper is GORGEOUS. 😍

[@aristotelianism]

I thoroughly enjoy these videos ❤

[@nancybrown3334]

It’s looking great. Good work you guys. I’m sure you’re very excited.

[@annadayl]

I am so happy for you!

[@Loepsie]

Thank you! 😊

[@acalia_sariah]

Hi, Lucy! I know this is a random request, but I've been watching you for a long time and one of my favorite video series you did was Beauty Beacons and Beauty Beacons of Fiction. Would you be willing to bring that back and do Judy Garland???❤️

[@metnicole4493]

Oops ik zie nu net dat je die plastic dopjes al hebt ontdekt. Mooi!

[@iwasalllikeomg]

LOVE that wedding picture against the green wall! Our wedding pictures have the same colour scheme, so now I might have to paint our bedroom green too…

[@SemekiIzuio]

Is the dresser from IKEA too? I like it for small space not too tall not too short. And yeah I feel the same way with art 🤗 I want to get back into it some day

[@Loepsie]

It is! 😊

[@kathleenmuller2744]

You both have done so much and it is looking amazing!!!

[@bravehearticus]

Your home is looking so lovely and cosy. All my kind of colours and vibe. You've picked the same table legs that I want. My plan is to put two tables side by side so I cam use it as a dining table, cutting table and sewing table.

[@melissaandreag]

It’s all coming together 😍

[@kotadawndragon]

Things are coming along quite nicely. I LOVE the color in your bedroom. It's so cozy looking. If you are looking for advice on a color for your studio space, I would suggest a light, neutral color. Especially if you are going to be painting in there. The color of your walls can mess with your color matching abilities. I'm a jewelry maker and I had lovely mint green walls in my old workspace. I found that the color combos that looked good in that room did not look good outside that room.

[@bcgrote]

So cozy!

[@yin5732]

Loveee your hair so much

[@stone.durfey5862]

Looking lovely.😉

[@BasicMemory]

Great video.

[@MrSumcicka]

Blinds?! I thought that Dutch people enjoy living their lives in 'shop windows' 😉. Zdravim z Prahy 🤗

[@KatjeKat86]

Well my Dutch grandmother opened the drapes everyday, all the windows, 1st thing in the morning and shut them at dark everyday.

[@TheRubyRed87]

It is all coming together perfectly! Where are the dining chairs from? They are fabulous!

[@Loepsie]

Thank you! We got the chairs at Zitmaxx Wonen

[@emlish]

Where did you get the kitchen drawer crates from?

[@alannapeebles1625]

Looking good! What do you plan to do for your kitchen backsplash?

[@Loepsie]

We're probably going to tile it

[@jenniferberkowitz2202]

I LOVE the wall paper and need it in my house immediately. Where is it from??

[@Loepsie]

It's from Summer Gray Amsterdam 😊

[@strawberry1025]

Your home is looking lovely! I love your cozy bedroom. I am both fascinated and terrified in equal measure with the unprotected sheer drop outside your sewing room. Is that usual sometimes in a Dutch home or is it some visual illusion and actually you do have a barrier there?

[@Loepsie]

There's usually a railing there but they had to take it down to remove the asbestos underneath. We'll replace it soon 😁

[@strawberry1025]

@@Loepsie So glad to hear that.😄 Thank you for replying and putting my mind at rest...hee.

[@conniemurdoch8528]

I don’t recommend the roll on wood look plastic. It doesn’t wear well and it is a nightmare to remove.

[@fictionalhuman]

I love seeing all your progress. The house is looking wonderful! Please, could you share the name of the lid you put on your kitchen cart? I have the same one from IKEA, but I have not seen the lid in store. It would be so helpful if I could order one too!

[@tammyellison735]

I like my creative space white, so the walls do not affect the color of what I am making.

[@bulma88]

❤️

[@mizzle8]

I wanted that Hemnes dresser last year but it was impossible to get. It works so well in your space! Question- it looks like the landing of the attic doesn’t have a railing on it? Are you planning to put one in? It gives me anxiety looking at that lol

[@Loepsie]

Yes! The railing was taken down to remove the asbestos underneath it, we're going to paint it & put it back soon 😊

[@mizzle8]

@@Loepsie haha phew, that’s good! I get scared near high edges if there’s no railing so I kept wondering about it 🤣

[@elizabethferguson5336]

Love the dining chairs. Can they be ordered online?

[@brendabignall9926]

♥️💖✨🎉🙂🌻

[@CandaceKochosky]

Do they have command strips there? You might have an easier time, and no damage to the walls.

[@KatjeKat86]

I had an apartment where you weren't allowed to stick holes in the walls but honestly using command strips I felt like did more damage. As I was there for quite a long time, I lived there for 10 years. About half of them popped off the walls over time taking the paint with them. Mind you this with a 5th floor apartment, no air conditioning. They always flew off the walls during the summer when everything got disgustingly hot. If I had it to do over again I would have just used nails and sparkled them in before the inspection, before I left. They are great for temporary things though, like if you're not sure where you want a painting you can put it up with one of those for a while and decide if it's where you want it to be and adjusted without damaging your walls.

[@alyssia7239]

I have that chest of drawers for my clothes. It took me 6 HOURS to build it alone with a manual screwdriver... If anyone gets this monster, get a electric one!

[@Loepsie]

It took us two days 😂 Definitely one of the more challenging IKEA builds, haha!

[@Serpensortis]

I just have to say: You´re gorgeous. In every way.

[@SarahJanW]

Oof you’re aging me, you said your desk is 11 years, I’ve been watching you since your were in your parents house lol
