ADVERTISING
As content creation is our business and how we earn our living you will see advertising in our content from time to time in different forms:
We are very selective about what brands we work with on paid/sponsored content creation and as a rule we don't work with any brand that we don't already or wouldn't spend our own money on. We are incredibly proud of all our brand partnership content and it will always be disclaimed in the most transparent way possible so you know exactly what is with 'AD' on screen and in the description box. If the entire video is an 'AD' this will be in the title of the video.
Because we don't work with a large amount of brands on sponsored content we do rely on our KZbin ad revenue. Any adverts you watch during the duration of our videos will earn us a small percentage of 'ad revenue' from KZbin and we really appreciate you watching the adverts in full (and not skipping them), but only if and when you can.
We also use 'Affiliate Links' in the description boxes below our videos and if you make a purchase via these links we will earn a small percentage of commission depending on the sale amount. Not all links are affiliate links but just assume they are.
Any items/links marked with '[AD - Pr products]' are products which have been 'gifted' from the respective brands without a contract for sponsored content. This is still classed as a form of advertising because nothing is ever "free", brands are gaining exposure to our audience by us featuring them, so these items are marked as 'AD-Pr product' in the description box but we are under no obligation to feature these items. And as with our paid content, we never accept gifting/pr products from brands that we don't already or wouldn't spend our money on. If we have received a press discount on anything featured this will also be disclaimed.

I think it looks absolutely amazing. I personally like the painted ceiling. It looked too much like a sauna before. Now it looks very high end. Great job! 👍🥰

[@weshasawi]

Looks amazing! You guys are professionals at this point you can’t call yourself DIYers 🤩

[@Ramparts2009]

Yes, they are professionals

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I’m glad you painted the ceiling, it’s a lot more cleaner- and modern-looking. I had dirty old tongue and groove on my kitchen ceiling and I painted it white, now it looks so bright and fresh. I would probably keep any period, detailed woodwork unpainted, but not the 20th C. stuff.

[@BRANDIWINE_79]

The painted ceiling does look nice, especially with that color!

[@JoR00ke]

Incredible. You definitely did the right thing painting the ceiling 🙂. I'm so jealous of your gym, I just won't go to a public one, I'm way too self conscious. Enjoy it, you clever pair xx

[@EmmaHill]

Yeh I’m not really a fan of gyms for the same reason. We’re really lucky to have a space like this that we can use as a gym x

[@fleurcraven9862]

Wow, your gym renovation looks so good. What a lovely space to work out in. ❤

[@EmmaHill]

It really is, we’re so happy with how it turned out 🙌🏼

[@marthagalvis7251]

"The Gym" sign was unexpected! so calm and beautifull space. I agree with your paint ceiling choose.

[@nanase21]

I was skeptical about the ceiling paint, but as u showed the final result, indeed it looks so much better! Also reflects a bit more light than the original wood. Well done!

[@Radiatingbeauty]

Great clean look and the best part was the Etsy The Gym sign! Great job and hello to Simon the hardest working husband along side his wife! 👍

[@eleanorbesly9868]

The gym looks wonderful, and as always, I said out loud “They are indefatigable!” 😀 I like the painted ceiling, and the flooring is perfect. What a great room to workout in! Personally, I am really looking forward to the garden reno. Hope you get to have a bit of a rest time, if only for a bit! Well done, Emma and Simon, and pats to the B’s!

[@debbiestott3651]

Amazing transformation as ever. Love watching your makeovers.

[@chrysanthibogiantzi8315]

A clean, fresh gym after all, this is great!! Have a beautiful Sunday! 💫🙏

[@EmmaHill]

Thank you, you too ❤️

[@amandal9]

Great job, the ceiling colour goes well with everything else.

[@christinawinstanley5130]

What a transformation. Love it.

[@jayjaytailor]

What a joy to see Emma; it looks absolutely stupendous!! ♥♥

[@EmmaHill]

Thank you x

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

What a difference, it looks great! I always enjoy your renovation videos, and fashion ones, too🙂

[@Jac4]

Amazing job.......So professionals!!!!!

[@danishpastry6137]

Love what you've done - it really makes the space feel welcoming! ❤ Yeeesss to painting the ceiling! I live in Denmark and have lived in a house with tongue and groove ceilings - they were as common as artex for a time! I hated them! I also lived in a rented flat with solid wood flooring and doors of a similar orange colour as you t&g - at the end I felt like I was living in a cigar box. So all in all, I applaud your decision! My husband has one simple rule as far as laying flooring goes - it should be laid at right angles to floor joists (if they exist and is the same as ceiling joists). This mimics how a solid wood floor would be laid, and gives consistency throughout the house if using the same flooring throughout. It's a bugbear when we see a home with flooring in two different directions!

[@EmmaHill]

Totally agree with your husband’s rule, whatever direction is chosen for one room I’d always choose for another. This is why we went for one fluid floor inside the house, it’s all connected 🙌🏼

[@NatiHerron]

Looks so much larger! Thank you for all the detailed narration!

[@millieg6145]

Looks fab, Emma - love all rhe neutrals, perfect. You and Simon have worked so hard, well done! X

[@sheilapicton5937]

I love the ceiling colour. All looks fantastic

[@valeriebarbin]

You worked your magic once again. Looks amazing. Congrats on the project to your husband and you.

[@EmmaHill]

Thank you x

[@Frick_79]

Amazing transformation, another great job congrats to you both 👏🏻👏🏻 Such a serene light and bright space to work out in now. Ceiling looks so much better painted, great decision. Also the snacks basket box tops it off 👌🏻☺️

[@EmmaHill]

Haha gotta have those protein bars in there 🤤

[@teddie552]

It looks great. I personally would have been too lazy to do the ceiling but I think it really completes the room

[@MariaCsn]

Beautiful!! Love the Roman Plaster color!

[@doremimmi3199]

ciao! bellissimo!!! I did not like the wooden ceiling and I also thought I would not like the colour you choose to paint it but I was wrong, very wrong! The effect is beautiful, clean, neat relaxing and calming. I really like the result! thanks so much for your video. ❤

[@msmalee]

Nice. And I do like the paint on the ceiling ❤

[@ellybean9962]

Always lovely seeing your home being made more suited to you and Simon, really you too are a great team. Great job x

[@louisehannam4822]

What an amazing transformation Emma xxxx

[@stellaschellekens753]

What a difference.....such a calming place 👌

[@Butterflybahrain]

I watch all your videos but I really enjoy the home renovation videos more than the fashion one. I suggest you remove the mirror and cover one side of the walls with a big mirror. It will make the gym look bigger and you will also benefit from it while doing weights excercises.

[@french_cliches]

Wow this is an amazing renovation! Can't wait to see how the pool willl turn out :)

[@kenn1936]

I had no idea you had fractured your rib - so glad you are on the mend!!! Stay Safe!!!

[@Ni_kki__]

Gym just looks amazing emma,you have both done it again,hats off to you both,hope you have fun using it😊

[@Kelsbels15]

What a lovely space! Again, you have both done an amazing job! 😊

[@syearty5621]

Oh my goodness! So amazing!

[@majarobert]

Are you even renovating if there are no surprise problems? I thought I would not like the paint on the wood ceiling but I completely agree with you. Looks fantastic!

[@EmmaHill]

Haha well exactly but you’d be surprised at how many people go in to a renovation and don’t realise that they’re going to unearth some issues so I just like to remind people that it always happens so more people can be prepared 🤞🏼

[@robinsmith4499]

Love it. Workouts in style!

[@menagers]

Painting the tongue and groove 👏🏻🏆 looks great

Oh that look amazing ❤❤ Well done. It must be a delight to go and work out in x

[@EmmaHill]

It is, way better than before 🙌🏼

[@annebrown886]

That’s an incredible project Emma, you must save so much money by doing it yourselves, and the achievement in doing so. Very intrigued by what you’ll do with the swimming pool area. X

[@EmmaHill]

Yes definitely and we learn so many skills 🙌🏼 We also enjoy doing these projects together, it can be stressful sometimes but we also have a lot of fun ☺️

WOW!!❤

[@jacquelinekeaveney5421]

It's beautiful ❤

[@lisa_loves1621]

Another incredible transformation - painting the ceiling made such a difference. Your cutting in skills on the skirting is 🔥 I’d have covered the new floor with paint if that was me 😂. May I ask where you got the huge garden pot please? ( very start of the video). Have a fab Sunday!

[@EmmaHill]

Cutting in is my super power 😏👌🏼 The large pots are from a local garden centre and I painted them x

[@lisa_loves1621]

Definitely a super power! Thank you so much on the pots, think a Sunday afternoon garden centre visit is on the cards today 😀

[@anaisschaaff3189]

Where could I get a Simon?

[@monica4158]

I really like the painting of the vaulted ceilings, you made the right decision. BTW how is your rib doing?

[@EmmaHill]

All healed now though, thank you 💞

[@pippade-negri8111]

Oh Emma had no idea you fractured a rib in Florida 😳. How on earth did that happen? Hope you are healing well and getting the healthcare support needed? (I work in the NHS😉). The gym looks incredible! And Simon is a DIY demon!!!! We are just about to move house and want to do something similar to one end of a very large garage to turn into a woodwork workshop so my hubby doesn’t freeze in Winter, so this is incredibly helpful xxx all the love to you, Simon panda the fur babies as always, Pippa xxx

[@EmmaHill]

Haha yeh unfortunately it was on day 1 as well 😭🙈 I did it riding Tron for the first time. It didn’t stop me though, I took some painkillers and powered through 🥴 For a rib there’s nothing that can be done, I just had to rest and let it heal and I’m all good now ☺️🙌🏼

[@pippade-negri8111]

Wow! Beautiful work guys! My house needs your touch Emma - fancy a trip to Western Australia?! You have both put so much love and energy into your place - do you feel this will be your ‘forever home’? ✨🌺

[@EmmaHill]

Haha I would love to 😘 We never bought this as a forever home, we just wanted to get out of London, so as it stands it’s not our forever home x

[@lydiacarels7912]

Looks amazin'!!! Súch hard work. Tótally agree with painting the ceiling, múch better! First some rest and than: happy work out!! ❤

[@debbiearmes2426]

I stumbled across your account 2 days ago, and I have binged watched your entire home transformation! You have a beautiful home and a great eye for interior design! Do you do this for a living? I’ve really enjoyed watching, thank you 🙂

[@EmmaHill]

We create content for a living but I’m not a designer, I just know what I like and Simon trusts that ☺️❤️

[@kenn1936]

WOW - just WOW!!! Fantastic remodel. I am not going to say "Noooooooo" over the ceiling, I like it. I don't like orange wood, so anything is an improvement. I do love wood, just not the orange kind. I have a question: Can you explain Simon's technique on the mire saw? The way he cuts a bit, then another bit, then runs the saw through the whole piece of wood? I have just purchased a sliding mitre saw, and am a complete novice, and wondered - does this stop splintering? Is there a genius idea that Simon has for cutting ? Very curious on his techniques, please share and we will call it "Simon's Cut". I promise!!!

[@beij7639]

Wow what a transformation!! Absolutely amazing job 🎉. Can I ask what speaker you use in this room (plugged into the wall)? I have a speaker but the space for it is empty so I have to leave it on the floor. Yours looks much neater when plugged in the wall socket.

[@EmmaHill]

We just used our old Sony surround sound that we had in the house before we bought our Sonos system. I’d highly recommend Sonos though, they’re great speakers! We have them all around the house 🙌🏼

Thank you ❤️

[@janmurray3155]

What a great space you've both made Emma! My daughter and her partner are renovating a space for a home gym and I've sent the video link on to them! One point - could you not have used the sprayer when you used the mist coat on the walls? Love to you Simon and the Bs. Xxx

[@EmmaHill]

Yep the sprayer could absolutely be used for a mist coat and even for the normal paint but I was using it for another project so it had other paint in there. Tbh for a mist coat it’s just quicker to use a roller, the prep of taping would have taken 10 times longer and me just zipping around with a roller x

[@janmurray3155]

[@northwoodfalls1403]

Lol I giggle when people paint wood and know they’d better head off the barrage of comments coming at them 😂 Wood *can* be beautiful, but it’s not always in harmony with the overall aesthetic of the space. And, quite frankly, some wood looks better when it’s painted. I think it looks fantastic. Harmonious with the main house. Well done, Emma and Simon! As always 😊

[@EmmaHill]

I always know they’re coming for me with their pitchforks 🤣 but I’ve been surprised this time. The majority of people have said yes to the painted wood ceiling 🙌🏼

What a transformation! I’d pay monthly membership for that 😆 may I ask why you kept the pool cupboard and didn’t open it up given you’re going to replace the pool?

[@EmmaHill]

We’re not replacing the pool, we’re simply using the space for something else. The actual pool will stay, we’ll just board over it. If anyone wanted to remove the flooring and fill the pool back up in the future then everything is still there 👍🏼

[@Aigra]

We had these types of ceilings everywhere on the upper floor of our house and these ceilings are mostly slanted. Who thought it was a good idea to make slanted ceilings darker than the walls? It makes them feel even lower and it's giving sauna vibes. Yes "but it's real wood!!!" but I don't think that's a good argument for keeping something that just doesn't work in a space.

[@EmmaHill]

Exactly, plus wood can always be stripped back and it’s only pine so not like it’s a beautiful oak or something 🫣 We’re so happy with the colour, it’s perfect in here 🙌🏼
