WORK STARTS AT THE HOUSE AND A SECRET PROJECT | Lydia Elise Millen

[@charlenehills]

Can we just appreciate how good Ali did at styling the new sofas! 👏

[@napturallyyours70]

He really has the the "touch"! Great job Ali!!

[@Only1Sosa.]

Right 👏👏👏👏

[@fernandanavarrete934]

The new chairs look like a wedding venue chairs, the blue ones where better 🙌

[@juliefitzgerald2948]

I personally prefer the blue chairs in the dining rm, much more of a contrast & look richer... i like the pop of color against so much neutral.

[@stefaniesombaty8980]

I'm so glad there is going to be more construction just so that we get to see Ken again. He's so funny.

Can we all just appreciate what a sweetheart Ali is?

[@Lucylanegrita]

Hi Lydia, one thing you can do not to get sick with a cold is to avoid touching your face and nose altogether as it is when the germs get a free ride into your system! Ali and Carrie are priceless and you are a blessed woman. Your home is beautiful, hope you never have to move all the stuff that you are filling your house with, I have come to learn the hard way that more is not better.

[@EmmeChatterton]

Ali is such a charmer when he flashes that cheeky smile to the camera after doing something good! What a great husband to have done all that work and even styled the room like a pro, best couple ever.

[@jordenmills1601]

Ali building and then taking the time to style the new furniture in your office was adorable! He did such a great job!

[@geyj1]

I loved the blue chairs. They looked very classy, expensive and beautiful!! Shame.

[@the30style94]

Love the mattress. We have one with an attached topper, they’re beautiful, BUT you can only rotate them around rather than flip them. So I now have a me dent in the mattress and a husband dent, no matter how we flip them 😭 after too many years (too expensive to replace yet) the next mattress I buy I won’t get an attached topper. 🤷‍♀️ at least if they’re guest rooms you’ll get more time out of them

[@bruckssarah]

The30style this comment needs more attention! Too true!

[@greenphoenix687]

Totally agree... I have the dent too and it appeared quite quickly. Next time I invest a lot of money in a mattress, I will have a separate topper for sure.

[@samanthacharles4120]

I was thinking that too. I will never buy one for that reason. A mattress needs to be flipped. But they are beautiful.

Beautiful Decor Lydia!! Looking forward to seeing the Black and White tree. I must say, I like the blue chairs in the dining room better, it makes the richer and luxe; the white ones are nice. Your home is looking wonderful. Magazine Feature???!!! Something to concider🤔😊

When I saw the finished blue dining room in previous videos, I was surprised since it was so dark and different than the colors I see on you Lydia.

Beautiful styling, go for your ideals Lydia, you have such a good eye for things. Can't wait for the big reveal of the secret project, I have an inkling but it's just too exciting to think about!!!

[@adiiiida]

Love the new corridor cabinets and the changes in your dining room! The blue was not as inviting, and from a color-aware point of view warmer colors and reds and more fiery tones fit better to social areas such as kitchens and living spaces, so i've learned. An more calming& muted tones suit better for areas like bedrooms etc. :) Colors have such a strong impact on emotions and how a space makes you feel!

[@amberamber100]

You know I just realised you’re one of the only channels I can chill and watch while the kids are still wondering about. I’m actually so thankful for that.

Hi Lydia, I just wanted to message you, cuz I was watching the news and there was a story about a cat and her owner being reunited after 5 years!! He’s from Portland, Oregon and the cat was found in New Mexico!!! She had a micro chip, she just showed up at a shelter there. Her owner thought she got hit by a car or got eaten by a cayote. So just thought I’d let you know. Don’t lose hope!

I just saw that too!! And I immediately thought about Lynx, my heart still aches that he went missing. How wonderful it would be if he returns like that kitty did!

[@geyj1]

I actually reunited a cat and his family after 15 years!! I found him outside my front door. A few months before that I could feel something but was not sure what it was? I kept on going outside my flat and kept on looking for something and didn't know what?! Of course when I found him then I knew. Very strange experience.

AND maybe consider a lovely umbrella stand at the end of the new mud room cabinet.? :)

I feel like the blue paint color in the living room will soon change. And the blue chairs in the dining room are switched out! I loved them they looked so rich and chick.
