HOW WE DECORATE OUR VICTORIAN TERRACED HOUSE IN THE ENGLISH COUNTRY HOUSE STYLE

[@minnir9878]

Your home looks very cozy and fabulous! It will be more magnificent with the new kitchen! Home Sweet Home 🏠♥

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@lucyzhu2968]

What adorable antique brass switches and sockets they are

[@adrianagalli7504]

Kirsten giving moral support to jeorg while he painting!! I love you😂😂😂😁

[@KirstenJoerg]

Yes and also have an eye on him as it's really high there.

[@teresacarle294]

@@KirstenJoerg 🌟Good decision to spot your hubby. The ladder did seem perched rather precariously on the step like that, especially considering the serious cathedral like ceiling in landing.😮The extreme height made me dizzy. 😁Fun to share a bit of your home-making adventure with you. You're both a great representative for British design. Lovely to see your process, style, options & your enthusiasm for making improvements. You clearly have exquisite taste. Well done! ☮💛🌼 from🌞sunny SoCal.

[@biddydibdab9180]

It’s very refreshing to see a couple who decorates according to their personal taste instead of hiring an interior designer who would turn their house into a bland, designer show home. It’s fun to watch your progress too.👏❤️👏

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thanks so much! Oh we would hate that as well, we wouldn't want a show home, we want a home that is cosy and lived in. Have a great weekend.

[@annieabfab6258]

Biddy Dib Dab - totally agree, can’t stand the bland uninteresting modern decor. ❤️🇦🇺🐨

[@magdastar2249]

I completely agree. I have always done my own decorating. Sehr Deutsch :}

[@maricarmenalesmartinez3496]

Hacéis videos con mucho gusto son todos muy bonito ya sois admiradora os deseo todo lo mejor de la vida❤❤

[@cristinamorenolamin3217]

You Kirsten and Joerg are a breath of fresh air. You are so sweet and relaxing to watch. I love your English period house and your eye for detail. I am on the opposite end of the spectrum, very modern but I appreciate your taste very much. Keep safe and keep up the videos...... any videos. Xx

[@andreapretlow2897]

When you flipped over the striped fabric it actually looked better than the right side of the fabric against the Darcy wallpaper. You are doing such a beautiful job on your house. That was a scary ladder Joerg was on!

[@claritadeluna6609]

I feel exactly the same about decorating keeping the colours, textures and styles according to our personal taste. I cannot understand people who redecorate so often; what a waste of time and money. I much prefer your style, and the two of you work beautifully together; in my case, I couldn't do that. Thank you for sharing your ideas and for letting us come into your beautiful home.

[@ellenannmarie]

I really like your choice of runners - the colorful one. I think you should follow your gut instinct. When you truly love something I don't think you will ever regret it. It will bring you joy each time you look at it.

[@kathleendwyer117]

You are a very beautiful couple.such a peaceful and loving relationship.

[@rhondathibault59]

Leave the architrave white! Lovely finishing piece, you two are terrific!

[@somattalistenta]

Hey Joerg, why do you prefer the narrow paint roller to a wider one? Might I suggest that round switch surrounds are more traditionally Victorian English, but you've definately made a big improvement from the plastic ones. It goes without saying that it's always lovely to watch your videos, well I've said it anyway. I'll come back later to watch some more of this one. Back again, I totally agree with you about spending quite a bit of time deciding on the choice of colours and style, although like me you already know what you like and those choices are basically what you stick to most of your life. Your house will reflect all the things you love and therefore you always feel happy and content when you walk around and relax in your house, it becomes your home. Thank you for the roller advice, I always appreciate getting a "better result" with paint, therefore, I will use narrow, thin paint rollers from now on.

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thank you John. Joerg prefers the narrow paint roller with this paint as he has more control and it gives a far better result. Sure but we wanted these switches as we have always loved them (it's always personal preference). We wish you a lovely weekend.

[@virginiawestcot2448]

You have exquisite taste. Joerg that finish for the entrance wall (between paper and paint) was soooooo perfect. Exactly what I would have done. Another enjoyable yet informative video...thank you so much for sharing your home with us.

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thanks so much Virginia, we also think it's the perfect solution and makes such a difference.

[@tammywhatley910]

I think the wall in the landing, where you will put the trim piece where the wallpaper ends, will look good the same blue you painted the cupboard under the stairs. It will look good any color really. I thought the blue might make the blue in the wallpaper pop. It's gorgeous. I love all the decorating you're doing.

[@catfish4782]

I am so enjoying your decorating of your house in the English country style. I love how you select colors and wallpapers etc. The house will be a showcase of this style and I hope you think about putting this adventure into a book on interior design with photos of your progress with before and after photos and design suggestions. ❤️😺🐠

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thanks so much!

[@marysmyth8288]

Kirsten & Joerg, you are both so endearing , your vlogs captivate me in the most delightful way Thank you for all the tips on home decorations , how thrilling for you to realize your dreams And I love your enthusiasm for the colorful stair carpet .. Mary Canada 🇨🇦

[@kdean9537]

Just found your channel & now subscribed! What an absolutely beautiful channel, you both are such a joy to watch & such a lovely couple! Love the content can't wait to binge watch your videos, I'm sure they will be wonderful. Take really good care...all the best from Canada. 💖

[@KirstenJoerg]

That's so kind, thanks so much. We hope you're having a good week so far.

[@kimjluke]

Thank you for sharing your beautiful decorating process/items. It’s fun to see interiors as they evolve. ☺️🌲

Love the colors you chose throughout. I hope you choose the colorful carpet! Can't wait to see.

[@colleenfoster997]

I really like the colorful stripe runner... it suits your personalities!

[@pegala]

I vote to have the architrave white to match the other trim. Your home looks lovely and it is so cozy spending time with you two darlings! 😍

[@KirstenJoerg]

Yes, thanks so much!

[@evaschnell9800]

Aaawww, you are the lovliest couple. I enjoy eeeevery minute of your videos. I'm german too and totally into your kind of taste, your wonderful house and decoration. Also I learned SO much from you,how to combine colours and fabrics. I simply LOVE YOU BOTH.

[@lynnegunn3478]

Lovely switches, exactitude in preparing everything, have much to look forward to.👍

[@dollydaisy7333]

I'm so busy working on our house at the moment but it was lovely to sit down with a coffee this morning and watch this. We have a 1930's house with quite a lot of original features but sadly some had gone (one of which I was responsible for and am very cross with myself about), we are about to replace all our plug and light fittings with bakelite ones and have ordered one set like you did just to try them for sizing, we've gone for reproduction rather than original, even though you can get hold of them, as it is too dangerous to mess about with electrics, we are replacing all our pendants light fittings with period ones too and they come with the gorgeous fabric flex instead of plastic covered wiring. I agree with you about taking time to research and think things through, I changed my mind about a dozen times over our bedroom paint, I was going to have wallpaper but decided to paint and make our fireplace and stripped flooring the main focal point, I've showed my husband so many variations of white paint I know he isn't even listening anymore. I'm looking forward to your next installment.

[@rebeccarendle3706]

Great solution.. I would leave it white to fit in with the rest of the door boarders... Love the paint colour. The house is really coming together beautifully. I agree.. Take your time.. Stay away from trends.. Get what you love.. And then it lasts years :)... also better for the environment than redecorating every few years due to trends changing or poor quality! Have a lovely weekend... Raining and cold here in north Germany to. X

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thanks so much! Yes, we think we leave it white. Absolutely, we never go with trends, well at least not anymore. Have the best weekend.

[@susanbrown2909]

Looks better white...the decorations are coming along just fine .

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thank you.

[@lourdesaguelo1602]

My dream house, likecu guys, I want to do my own style on my own house too.

[@kellynovak4656]

You are so smart and patient with your decorating choices. I think the runner you like the best would be beautiful. It will tie everything together and add a whimsical pop of color. The switch plates are great also, love the toggle feature. I am so excited to see the progress unveil.

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thank you! Yes, the runner would be amazing in the landing but too much down in the hall. They were just the first samples but we will keep you posted.

[@anja1808]

[@bobtom4533]

Darcy? Why yes, of course, is classic lovely;) Great switch plates...I am still on the hunt myself. Interestingly, Joerg's blue shirt and sweater looked great against that upstairs paint tone. Replacing the downstairs hallway switches will possibly help guide your choices there. How exciting those projects look! Thank you for super ideas. D.

Thanks so much, that's so kind.

Hi, I really enjoy your content, you probably realise that you will need to use a knot primer on upper stair rail, as otherwise even after you paint it white the knots can bleed through. Landing looking great. Keep up the good work.

I find that I’m hooked on your personal style, your personalities, your cozy home and everything else in between.

We are doing the same thing. It’s a lot of work but pays off in the end. I don’t do wallpaper because it’s to much work for me but a nice coat of paint makes a nice change. Your home is looking lovely.

[@rhondaherdman7338]

Joerg you really need to help Kirsten remember it's not a guest bedroom it's my "Kitty's" room!! Sister you have to tell me where you got that tablecloth I love that material and must have it! I like the second one better and the first for the Ruiner but the first look great against the wall but I didn't like it against the cupboard. I like that you want to get the material that has the story in the place that you have been that makes it really awesome. and it's safe to travel again I will be coming to visit my room LOL be well my friends blessings and much love

[@KirstenJoerg]

Hahah okay, Kitty's room of course. We had the tablecloth made from Britannia Rose, there is a link in my last Monthly Favourites video in the description box with the name of the fabric.

[@jackiebartholomew2607]

Love everything you are doing to your home. Beautiful. Xx

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thank you!

[@christine1373]

I’ve had two room size sisal and wool blend carpets from Pottery Barn in both living and dining rooms. At first I loved them but I soon realized they shed like crazy with fibers everywhere, creating dust and my cats roll on it and ends up with it all over them. After 6 years they really show wear patterns as well. Next year they’ll be gone.

[@KirstenJoerg]

Oh no, that's terrible but exactly the reason why we went off sisal. Such a shame that you have to replace it already.

Another lovely video. Very inspiring ideas. Live the way you combine flower pattens and stripes. One thing Joerg my husband is a retired painter and decorator he wants to know why you didnt use a large roller on an extension pole for the hall !!!!! Jen n Den x

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thanks so much! Joerg worked with both, we just didn't film while he worked with the extension pole; he used it for the ceilings in the landing. He really loves the usual roller for the Edward Bulmer paint as he always gets the best results.

[@pattymck7267]

Lovely choices so far. The trim solution for the wallpaper is genius, and really gives a finished, intentional look. I agree, you need to keep looking for fabric to match the wallpaper, although the stripe wasn't bad.

Everything looks amazing. I like the window pattern for the master drapes because of the link to the Natl Trust. The stair runner makes your entry into your home so inviting if that last inserted photo was the finished look. Beautiful. Joerg I’m glad you got the stairwell painted without any mishaps. The ladder looked a little precarious but Kirsten had your back or maybe hers lol. It’s fun to use the internet and take your time choosing decorating items. I did a lot of that in the past and it saved money too. Thanks for sharing the little details too. I like that a lot. Both of you stay well and happy.💕👍🏻😊
