FINISHING OFF THE NEW HOUSE ONE YEAR LATER | Lydia Elise Millen

[@kristiburis3924]

Leave the blue candles in the smoked candleholders. It lends itself nicely with the blue of the Dior throw on the ottoman. Your home is lovely, it’s been a pleasure to watch it blossom

[@Meliza.Hernandez]

Absolutely love love love everything you got for your home! So beautiful, and girl never apologize for anything you buy! You both work super hard, and you deserve it all. A beautiful human inside and out!!! Love the concrete fruits 🍐🍎. I have never seen anything like it! Absolutely stunning!

[@mobin-despoubellespascomme7727]

you literally make me soo positive in my daily life. you might not realise but am sure your '"keep on going" vibes help a lot of people..some of your videos have such awful comments yet you show up and continue doing your thing..thank you so so much..i feel inspired..

[@manateepottery]

Love love love the wallpaper in the bathroom and painting the shutters to blend in with the wallpaper rather than going dark is a good call!

[@EEN63]

I think the dark candles work great in your dressing room and work especially well with the Dior throw/scarf/blanket! (But you can't go wrong with white candles either!) Love these home hauls and seeing how you style your new acquisitions! Thoroughly enjoyed!

[@patsmallman6544]

I love your home very stylish, never apologise for buying things for your home it's your sanctuary and you both work hard so who cares what other people think tfs🐑🐱

[@julie228]

I love watching your channel especially when your styling your home... I now buy similar items to yours meaning cheaper lol for my tiny home and wow it looks AMAZING so thank you for helping me to style my home to make it look as magnificent as yours😚

[@mysonruns]

Your garden looked liked a fairy tale with the lambs! Too sweet!

[@florstokes3419]

Lidia, You don't have to apologize, I Love your William & Sonoma tea towels, they're beautiful and good quality. I owned some, Love your ottoman and how you style it with your Christian Dior scarf, very elegant! Your House is beautiful and warm!

[@karola5]

Honestly ... the home videos from you are my absolute FAV !!! Freaking love it

[@joanneday527]

Automatic like, watch vid, absolutely love it, leave comment. Always hope it helps brands etc know how amazing you and your channel is. Loved having more of your hubby in it, and anything house I love lol xx

[@TheEv1968]

Joanne Day 😂😂😂 same 💕

[@2Sugarbears]

May I suggest that you freeze those dark bananas and the next time you make a banana bread you can thaw them and use them. I worked for years in a cheese shop with a muffin sideline and that is what we did.I works a treat. Cheers. D from Toronto.

[@Dixiwonderlandyoutube]

Love when you talk about interior design :D

[@purplegirl664]

Lydia, thank you for being so positive. Your videos always calm me and lift my spirits! 😊

[@eleganceofshe6137]

I have thoroughly enjoyed this vlog Lydia. Haven’t smiled this much all week and you did it ❤️

[@donnaconrad6212]

LOVE It All! All your bits n' bobs kitchenware and coasters, is exactly the choices I would make! Also, the Williams & Sonoma tea towels - because I buy them myself! I think the candles you have in your dressing room look absolutely perfect with those smokey grey hurricane candle holders! No need to change them out, they look very elegant! Love your throws, and ottomans, too! That wooden bowl-tray is massive and a piece of art to itself ~ it's beautiful! It will look lovely on any kitchen workspace, or on an ottoman, dining or coffee table. It's so "in" right now to be mixing wood with metals, and that tray certainly looks great near the wine rack, too! Can't remember which designer it is, (I'm thinking it's Tom Ford, though I could be wrong) but there's a channel on KZbin of tours of designers homes, and a beautiful array of wooden bowls and trays were on display in one designer's home with him referring to it as his "kitchen art!" From that, I started my own collection, as well! So far, I have a deep large dark wooden salad bowl, a very large bamboo serving tray (size of your wooden one) and various cutting boards; some w/handles, some with feet, all on display...you will see soon enough how you can use that tray as the "base" to decorate it even for the seasons making it a center piece; moss balls, lamb's ear stems, and crystal/porcelain...what-not-bunnies mixed w/your wooden salt n' pepper grinders for Spring, perhaps?!? Fall foliage of leaves, acorns, pumpkins and gourds w/a standing bottle of red wine at another season, etc. Wooden trays are so versatile, and fun to use for any room! BTW: LOVE your bathroom! That wallpaper is gorgeous! Very rich-looking! And, actually even a "boudoir" any man could love! Beautiful Home!

[@belleke18]

Unpacking decor things and styling them are my favorite videos!

[@annamaybourdon8507]

I like the dark candles, they compliment the book bag and scarf/blanket.

[@lydiamillen]

Do you think? I wasn’t sure you know but maybe I’ll give it some time hehe! 🙊💙

[@annamaybourdon8507]

@@lydiamillen Yes, I do think, I also think you should give decorating the spare bedrooms yourself. You have the talent and you have style, use it to gain confidence in yourself. Go for it Lyds.

[@germana2103]

Yes they look perfect!

[@barbaraschubert9889]

I agree

[@jilll5257]

I love the dark candles too 😍 they are a nice contrast for your room

[@aparnarao8601]

Absolutely no need to be sorry for buying the tea towels Lydia. If I had such a house, I would have bought them too even if they are expensive. You have earned them and rightfully you can decorate your house with more stuff after years of living in a smaller one. I don’t know when I will have such a beautiful house as yours but I still love your home videos.

[@melsmith8731]

The manner in which you speak to your cats is soooo adorable!!! I find it cute...xxx

[@blogpolar3311]

I actually really like the dark candles in the new hurricane jars. It puts some depth in an otherwise stark white section of the room. 😍 xx

[@abundantlyinspired]

The home unboxing was so fun!! Loved seeing the great pieces you chose❤️🌺🌺Thanks for sharing the peek o the redone bathroom, it looks so chic!!!!!!!

[@lindachapman9765]

Allways love watching home videos, and see how much your home has evolved since you moved in, loved everything you have bought, and your downstairs bathroom is looking really nice, I love the suite you have chosen, look forward to more xx

[@michelepillay9347]

I ❤️ William Sonoma, and their tea towels included... they are the best!

[@karencurtis2697]

Oh how nice to get visitors in your garden 😍. Everything is coming together so beautifully, even when there are workers around your home has a lovely vibe . My favourite 2 items today which is so hard to choose are the Othman and the stone fruits. But honestly I want everything of course. Just painted our bathroom lol chose the colour perfect brown, don't laugh it looks amazing but the texture of the paint was very questionable to say the least , it looked like porridge or if you can imagine what mud huts were coated with in years gone by. 😜 crazy but two coats of mud and any colour goes with , I have face cloths of every colour I colour find and I have my choice down to six . Still working on it 😂😂😂🤔. Love you home and as always everyone in you home including the babies , plus sheep and birds . Take care everyone 😉

[@jazgonz]

Look No FURTHER! Style Updates, Homeware Haul, Fur babies, Construction sounds, and Now People...[Bright Marquee] The Lamb Family! You guys are just the Best. All rounded feel good video. Your total surrounding of people and animals is Amazeballs. THANK YOU Millen- Gordon Family!

[@lydiamillen]

Ohhhhhh thank you Jaz xx

[@breakfast_burrito2405]

I think a nice table lamp (maybe on the lower cabinets on the sides?) or a floor lamp would make your dressing room even more cozy. The settee is already a great addition. Cheers :)

[@LolaRage]

Please do an updated spring makeup routine with your favourite products!! Especially base products....your skin is so glowy XX

[@sairaqadri13]

"I've got lifes a peach on my eyeshadows" hahahahah Lydia, hilarious. xxx

[@amandasteele1610]

Can’t believe how you used your good kitchen knife for opening your boxes. I hope they weren’t expensive....love what you got those vases were to die for,the large glass ones.

[@mariejames8120]

For everyone asking they sell the teatowels on amazon for 3 for £38 plus shipping 👍🏼

[@hillaryw7272]

SO CUTE that the big tea towel reveal was Williams Sonoma!! Here in the US it’s a nice (but common) kitchen store. Happy to help you buy anything else from there if you need ☺️

[@goldier2264]

Awww.. The sheep and little lambs in your yard was everything! 😍 wish you could keep them too Lydia, save them from slaughter😢

[@RosangelaR]

Williams & Sonoma, Pottery Barn, Crate&Barrel-- all popular home stores in the US. Great places to buy for wedding registries & house warming gifts ((:

[@michellepullis1274]

Girl, try drizzling your asparagus with olive oil and pop it under the grill in the oven for a few minutes! It's sooo much nicer that way! I've never looked back lol! Xx

[@samanthabrown2480]

Do you cook it first or just raw with oil under the grill

[@michellepullis1274]

I usually do them raw, but I get the asparagus tips or ones with really thin stalks so they cook easily! X

[@lidiakuhn6505]

Yes you can roast any vegetable on the oven, Coliflower, broccoli, zucchini, carrots. Drizzle olive oil, salt, pepper, and a little garlic powder and roast for 15-20 minutes. Much better than boiling.

[@2352anne]

@@lidiakuhn6505 yes I do that too

[@Amacott99]

That wallpaper is just magical in the loo❤️ The home haul......so beautiful. The jugs and concrete fruit❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@-KMA-]

Lumi was the star of the show today. So cute that cats love boxes!

[@MoniqueARuiz]

It's like Christmas morning with all the unboxing! So fun!!

[@MoniqueARuiz]

annnnnnnd I just got to the part with the lambs in the garden and I'm dying. Sweet precious angel babiessss!!!

[@alib5345]

Williams-Sanoma is one of my favorite kitchen store's down the street from me, along with Sur la table. Simply the best!! Live for the home vlogs....

[@charlieangelyoutube]

I’m sorry to keep commenting about the animals in your videos but the lambs were so beautiful, thank you for sharing them with us! They are very sweet indeed as you say. I couldn’t help but be nervous about that knife on the boxes and later on the floor for both you and the cats. Was so concerned you would cut yourselves on it. Much love from Australia.

[@MylifebelikeOohAah]

My mom has Williams and Sonoma tea towels like that and they are really nice! Get fluffier the more you use them 😊

[@mopomilise]

ahhh slow down with the home!!! I am going to certainly MISS you filming about it when it's complete. Love love love the house

[@sarahstroud4914]

I am sorry to say Lydia I watch your vlogs as much for Lumi and Lynx (Sorry if spelling is wrong) as I do to watch you. I feel your pain with the cat fights, Mouse hunts and the ups and downs of life as 2 devoted furbaby parents. I turned the living room upside down Friday morning to find a scared little field mouse Dexter brought me in as a gift. :-)

[@duchess4480]

I love watching your home vlogs and watching you and Ali so happy!!

[@glarafeili8360]

I really enjoyed this vlog Lydia. You look prettier than ever and you have done an amazing job with your house. Can't wait to see more of the finishing touches x

The Dior Blanket omggg!!

🙊🙊🙊🙊

[@Salaha135]

grey really makes her eye colour pop, you should wear it more often!!!

[@soojer16]

Being from America, those tea towels you got are actually the best, they get so soft when you wash them (they're kind of a go to gift for weddings strangely!)

[@lydiamillen]

Well I am chuffed with my purchase then hehe!!!! 🙌🏻

[@soojer16]

Lydia Elise Millen they also do special holiday versions (for literally every possible holiday). Bougie but worth it 😬😬😬

[@clairehawkes1112]

Love the scrapbooks! And the blanket... want

[@andreapayneconnally390]

You're gonna love that wine bottle opener. I got one from Brookstone for Christmas last year or my birthday and I love it. Haven't screwed up a cork yet.

[@hithere7867]

Lydia is gorgeous without makeup😍

[@jeannineniles3908]

The pointed toe wedges fit you really well Lydia.

[@1ndawkins]

Hi, Your home videos have always been great, and I really like the IGTV outfit quick vids too. Ali's videos are incredible...so artistic. All the best!

[@carmengrauwels]

Your home really reflects your style 👌 but i don't get in your livingroom that lamp in the middle? I think if there is another one( a smaller one) or no lamp it would gives it a better flow and is more in balance. Also now it stands in the way of the site. Just an idea 🙂

[@knightsbridgelvr]

For the first time, ever, you bought something that I already own...excuse me while I go and have my moment ^_^ I have those Williams Sonoma tea towels. They are amazing. They somehow get softer as you use them. They're magical.

[@cassielynn5563]

Those tea towels are 4 for $20 here in the states. I have a williams-Sonoma next door to me. Curious why they were soooo much for you🤔

[@ohmygeeee]

[@semagon1117]

The pointed toe wedges are so much more flattering on you than your older pairs! So purdee

[@80Dooley]

What kind of cats do you have. They are so beautiful! Have you ever had an asparagus and Salmon omelette? Your breakfast reminded me of that combination that my husband I enjoy on the weekend. It's actually salmon cream cheese and asparagus omelette and it is divine! Decorated on top with avocado, sour cream and a cherry tomato. Give it a go; I think you will enjoy it.

[@fidelmagerrard7439]

[@justm6382]

AHH! Nature (RE: the fighting pheasants) is so marvelous; this is why I love being out in the wilds (as opposed to always in the city) as often as possible. :) That nature fight in the kitchen (Lumi + Lynx) was interesting too. LOL
