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

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I got INSTANTLY SAD when the Christmas music cut 😂 goodbye Christmas tree 😊

[@Hfin]

The extension from the roof is called a dormer, you can have all kinds of sizes of them!

[@elfenscheisse]

Definitely an upgrade! White walls have always made me feel uncomfortable, and with flowery design you can never go wrong.

[@debcarroll8192]

Your room was lovely before, but it looks even more lovely and homey now! I really love what you did with the curtains; it looks like a valance at the top. (Those things that hold the curtain rods are called brackets in English, by the way.😉)

[@Loepsie]

Thank you so much!

[@impposter560]

Seeing people put together their dream home is oddly relaxing and mood lifting. Gives a hopeful, life if good kind of feeling 😊

[@Loepsie]

I'm enjoying the process so much 😄

[@elfenscheisse]

@@Loepsie and we enjoy watching! :)

[@EmilyGOODEN0UGH]

For the space over the radiator... maybe get a few small frames and frame up bits of the scrap wallpaper, hang those around, with one big pink flower framed in the middle?

[@carnifaxx]

I think you may choose one of the colours from the wallpaper (green or pink) for the wall behind the radiator and just paint it as sort of "accent wall"? (And maybe do the same also with the middle column, if it's not an overkill in such small room). Nevertheless, it looks GREAT, I really love the wallpaper and the room looks really welcoming :)

[@puggirl415]

That's what I was thinking as well. Maybe bring in the color of the stem or the color of the flowers.

[@sweetspicypepper]

I appreciate that with hair and make-up videos as well as home videos, you've always used what you have and haven't gotten hung up on perfectionism. I like that about you and wish I were more like that!

[@jeaniesf84833]

The room looks perfect and very cozy! You did an amazing job.

[@Loepsie]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@LornaKelso]

The window extension is called a dormer window. Love that wallpaper! It really finishes the room beautifully.

[@Outback0423]

Lovely wallpaper, and lace curtain. Your workroom has become a visually peaceful and bright space.

[@CryssLovesMusic]

I didn’t know watching someone wallpaper could be so therapeutic haha. I loved seeing your vision come to life, it’s so beautiful!

[@bunhelsingslegacy3549]

LOL if you've ever tried applying wallpaper, there's a certain comfort in knowing it's not you who has to do it :)

[@MissSeaworld8]

"Granny chic" haha love it 😂😄

[@emmaRBC]

It looks so cute! I'd probably call the curtain rail holders "brackets". Second languages are fun when you randomly encounter a word that doesn't come up in your regular life! P.S. I love the dragon! So cool ☺️

[@thesavingsorceress]

I LOVE what you did with the wallpaper and curtains! Your background has so much personality and looks super cozy now. Beautiful job!

[@munka214]

It's so cute! You could always paint the middle section to look like the bricks of a fireplace, put a bit of trim up for a mantle, and get one of those flat insert fireplaces. That would be so cute especially with the picture.

[@cozycrimecorner]

your wallpaper struggles made me laugh so hard bc it's definitely something that happened to me before. This time around, i ran out of the pre mixed deluxe paint like 1m2 before finishing my new living room - now I have a huge bucket of leftovers bc they only sell this specific paint in giant buckets 😂 it turned out so cozy and so you, the wallpaper really is the finishing touch! and by the way, as an egyptologist, I'm so jealous of having such a cool and creative ancestor

[@Melbeatle]

Granny chic, flowers, lace, girly, sweet, and then "I'm going to hang my DRAGON" 😂😂😂😂 It made me laugh so much! Wasn't expecting that. But I also like dragons :)

[@amixeblu]

You could hang suncurtains, maybe add the panel to your lace ones, if there is no room for them. The sun *will* bleach anything and everything (even wood) that is in your cozy little place. :(

[@sharoncrawford6450]

Looks beautiful! You are so talented. The curtains are lovely with the valance! The changes you did made a big difference. 👗🧵🪡🥰

[@dees3179]

As soon as you swung round to show the door I was convinced you were going to do a Paddington bear and paper yourself into the room.

[@CharisBombela]

I love how it turned out! So romantic and dreamy! 😍

[@mleung25]

Your room turned out so lovely - definitely getting the cozy cottagey vibes. The wall paper was really *chef's kiss* :D

[@AlinaGhost]

I love this and love granny chic ❤

[@tune_smith]

I love how the room turned out… Just know that at night those curtains will be very transparent looking in from the outside. I have a similar curtain in my dining room and at night you can see everything.

[@fictionalhuman]

What a soft and pretty space!

[@rihniapicci7125]

Love the granny look

[@amyslingsby6947]

I love that wallpaper.

[@emilysmith2784]

Genius idea with the curtains. I have this lovely lace curtains which went to the floor, then we got kittens and they keep playing with them so I want to shorten them but I didn’t want to cut the beautiful lace. Think I will just fold it over like you did. Also wonderful editing at the beginning 😘

[@bunhelsingslegacy3549]

You could also do the equivalent of a giant pin-tuck to hike them up, might be easier to undo if you ever want to let them down again, should kittens become cats and less interested in shredding pretty things :)

[@emilysmith2784]

@@bunhelsingslegacy3549 I have giant pin tucks in at the moment, with actual pins 😂

[@MituDjakarian]

Super cute! 🥰 It's so good to watch you make your home more homey. Makes me happy 💖

[@caitlainmccarren2286]

That extension from the roof is called a dormer or a gable. More the former than the latter.

[@FromtheMPR]

Very well done!!(and inspirational - as I am in process of updating my sewing room)

[@Loepsie]

Ohh good luck! 😄

[@marilys3549]

The extension is called a dormer, at least in the USA 🇺🇸.

[@Woeschhuesli]

Pretty! That "column" we would call a "chimney breast" in British English... You could paint it in one of the colours in your wallpaper (pale pink?! green?!), stain a board as a shelf under your picture of your great-grandfather and it would already look like a little Victorian fireplace with a mantelpiece... If you were really ambitious, you could do trompe l'oeuil painting in greys that looked like a fireplace in that space ;)!! Or just set up some candles.

[@beltlevel]

A piece of trim above the level of the radiator and the drawers/along seams is a traditional way of handling transitions! :) It looks beautiful

[@elainebye9090]

I love the vibe! You really did it well. Just what I would like for my private retreat.

[@Raquelita.creates]

Absolutely love the wallpaper!! It’s so cozy looking! ❤

[@bethknapp4935]

So pretty!!!! I love how cozy it is!!!

I LOVE the wallpaper and the cute curtains, you created a lovely atmosphere. 💕

[@danariggle8038]

[@bonniebernido8510]

I love how you turned that curtain panel sideways. Brilliant and it looks amazing

[@turbotoshikiara1931]

So nice! Well done! ❤❤❤

[@theartistsheart]

LOVE it! 💖 I would have done the curtains exactly the way you did and I think they turned out great! The floral pattern on the paper is so delicate and lovely. Well done ✨️

Beautiful makeover! And I also love your new hairstyle Lucy! ♥♥♥

[@amixeblu]

I think it looks *grand* there is absolutely no other word for it, Lucy! Great job, girlfriend!

[@SherBear88]

LOVE the wallpaper!! I’m getting wallpaper this weekend so I can wallpaper one part of my loft sewing area as well! Your area is so cozy! I love it! For fireplace would be perfect on that center beam! So funny because again in my loft sewing area at my sitting area part I have a fireplace heater that I no longer use and I’m sitting there between the chairs to make it cozy. LOVE the curtains!!

[@r.d.durfey5862]

I love it! So cozy. And I love the shape of the room. I had a bedroom at my grandpa's home, when he was ill. And I so loved it's slanting ceilings. I'm still miss sleeping there.

[@BabvBlues]

your vids r so wholesome!

[@anouschattack]

Geweldig leuk geworden! Het is zo knus en gezellig geworden. Ben trouwens echt verliefd op je mooie draak. Die heeft echt een mooi plekje gekregen.

[@dbdesignsandsewingaustrali5668]

Great job your room looks lovely 🧵🪡💕

[@gunnandersen7412]

Much better with new curtains and a new wallpaper on the walls. Hapoy New Year!

[@sandiemable]

I totally agree with you, Lucy the floral wallpaper is perfect, and I love it! xoxo's Sandie

[@illfayted]

I love how you folded over the top of the curtain to highlight the scalloped edge. It almost looks like a valance, which adds to the old fashioned look.

[@AnaGhirardello]

Un gioiello la sua stanza! Baci

[@simonhazell64]

I have my Christmas tree is still up it makes me happy 😊

[@fippy]

Wow your sewing room looks amazing, love your paper choice too and I totally agree with you about disliking plain white walls, great job! (Just subscribed too).

[@arminaleth9354]

Absolutely love it! Looks so cosy and stylish. You're amazing in interior design

[@Loepsie]

Thank you so much!

[@Hevynly1]

Glad you enjoy it! 😁

[@kayta84]

Good ide on the curtain! The hole room is very cute and cottage'y!

[@Loepsie]

Thank you! 😊

[@semekiizuio]

The curtain usage was such a great idea! I also dislike white walls but living in apartment there is not much you can do besides hang stuff. White walls are none to cause mental insanity so 🤷‍♀️ yup dont keep white walls

[@therewillbecatswithgwenhwyfar]

I had no idea what to call my style but apparently it is granny chic and I appreciate you letting me know that that’s what it is because I’ve got to have lots of things that my stepmother had. My grandparents passed when I was young but my stepmom was into antiques and dried pennies and fabric and all kinds of things and I am in New England in the US that’s the top right corner and there are so many antiques that are easy to snap up! So my fabric stash is (mostly) contained in a couple of antique China cabinets (which makes fantastic protection from both dust and cats! Lol

[@therewillbecatswithgwenhwyfar]

Sorry for the text block. I blame talk to text but also I don’t feel like fixing it. 😊

[@therewillbecatswithgwenhwyfar]

I LOVE IT!

[@bethanyhutchinson6714]

I loooove how the curtains came out! So easy and so elegant! The wallpaper was a lovely choice and I would have skipped the wall with the radiator on it as well. I think the room came together really well-nice job!

[@Loepsie]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@pheart2381]

That looks so much better. A Woman Cave!

[@kirstenpaff8946]

Every Millennial redecorating vlog I have watched lately: "I want to put up cute wallpaper!" "Why is wallpaper so expensive?" "Wait how do I apply wall paper in this weird space?" "Oh no, I ran out of wallpaper!"

[@laureno8269]

i re watched the video to see if you mentioned it, what was the brand of wallpaper you got? i love it so much

[@WinkyGirls]

What's that round thing below your peg board? Is it electrical outlets? And I know the wooden triangle above the door bothered you, but now that triangle of wood just to the right of it bothers me 😉🤭 The wallpaper really improved and licensed up the room!! Good idea

[@nanciumphres9001]

Dormer is the term you are looking for to describe the change in roofline

[@sometimesheathersews4429]

I love that Wallpaper so much! Where did you get it, I didn’t see it linked? And what was it called?

[@marywalker5397]

So I'm American and I don't know what those angles and the roof thing is called 😂. I don't live in a densely populated area. The style of our houses do not have those architectural features, but I love your sewing room. It's very cozy!

[@carolinesewall9319]

Love the room n wallpaper Do you not have proper curtains like in England As those nets you put up We have curtains to help keep rooms warmer n you have said you doing the same? Only asking

[@shadowofthecandle]

The wallpaper looks wonderful! But uh, just a question, if the curtains are sheer then can't people still see in???

[@dallasmandy]

We call them a dormer or bump out

[@EsthervdWaal]

Wow, beautiful! It is the perfect finishing touch. May I ask you which wallpaper you used? I am still in the process of finding the right wallpaper for quite some rooms in the house.. As a fellow new homeowner, I also want to compliment you on how fast you are moving with the renos. Not the case here, ha.

[@Loepsie]

Thank you! I got this wallpaper from Summer Gray Amsterdam. You'll find it if you search "AS Creation" on their website 😁

[@EsthervdWaal]

@@Loepsie Thank you!

[@emilybauer3663]

SO CUTE! Okay this is so random! Do you still use a life binder? I remember that video from years ago. I was curious what you do now? Especially now that you are married.

[@Loepsie]

I don't. I switched over all my planning to digital formats years ago 😊

Room is adorable! Where can we find the dragon puppet marionette please!! ❤
