[@MadeleineOlivia]

I'm back! We took a break over the past month to feel better and take some needed time off. Thanks for being patient and I hope you enjoy today's makeover video! Lots of love to all of you for watching my videos and sticking around xxx

[@helena-boateng]

missed youuu!! hope you three (including roxy 😂) are feeling better🤗

[@TheRawfoodgardener]

i Love the ceiling light at 21:38, where did you get it from please. the rooms looks bigger and so organised

[@natblabla1]

Yes, love your newly updated office, actually just my taste haha.

[@FemkeFemke]

I’m glad you’re back!^^ and i hope you feel better now

[@lizbeer758]

So glad you're back but definitely understand the need for a break, especially when your job involves social media! If it's not too much trouble, next time could you please just make a quick status that you're taking a break, if you're gone for around a month or longer? I was really worried about you and my anxiety was freaking out a bit that something had happened! 😭💖 If you don't think that's necessary or don't want to do that though I understand! 🙂 (I can't tell if I'm being overly sensitive right now but I just thought I'd mention incase anyone else felt the same! 😂) Love you!

[@lulaboola74]

Wow it looks so good! You made great use of the space and I love the colour palette. I absolutely love the look of reclaimed wood, can't understand why anyone wouldn't!!

[@Beccination]

i like seeing more and more young women, that are not trying to look like teenage girls. but that are kind of embracing the adulting. not to say that there is something wrong with a teenage style and make up, but I just like seeing people embracing womanhood. not shure if I explained this well an not shure what makes the difference but maybe you get it hehe. just had the thought when seeing you in the first clip :"what a beautiful WOMAN."

[@ohio_nights]

Madeleine: "I got Alex this cat drawing because he likes cats" Alex: "heheheheh they've got boots!"

[@NataliaNNS]

I had a similar impression with this video that I had with the living room, which is surprise at how different (and better) the rooms look after changing the layout! I didn’t think you’d be able to fit two people and their respective tables and chairs in here before, but it looks a lot more practical and spacious! And also can’t believe you got the couch second hand, because it looks like it was custom made for that space!

[@MadeleineOlivia]

Yeah isn’t it crazy! Layout does EVERYTHING! Just a few adjustments and the room is totally different. And I know right? We couldn’t believe how well it fit!

[@Elsa-fe8ld]

Wow this looks so cool! Love the minimal cute cottage vibes. You guys must be so thrilled you moved and have had the space for lockdown! x

[@ohpinkiepie]

I LIVE for these reno videos.

[@meHelen41]

The crooked walls is such a mood. When we were renovating our house (only about 70 years old), the guy who was fixing the walls told me: You know, nothing in this world is naturally in line... And your walls won't be either

[@MadeleineOlivia]

Love that!

[@happyhighlighter2726]

I love the way you two act around eachother, it's so nice to watch. Hope your little cottage is becoming what you wanted it to be. 🥰

[@jwinestory5051]

I love the natural wood pattern

[@MadeleineOlivia]

Me too!

[@charlenewagoner9523]

You guys are good at what you do, I love the wood, love the office. Thanks for sharing, we missed you guys.

[@camillarhodes2311]

That sofa fits so perfectly in that space, it must feel so good haha

[@DebtFree_WithMe]

Love what you have done with the space 😍 Happy you are back on KZbin, loved watching your Reno series xx

[@barbaramassey3787]

Love your sense of design.

[@MadeleineOlivia]

Thank you!

[@jessicafigueroa7398]

Loving these Reno videos. Everything is coming out amazing. Total cozy vibes

[@Kristina-fl4dn]

The shelves and the desk tops re beautiful! I love the cozy and rustic vibe in your cottage! Would move in immediately, hehe.

[@daniellepulford3901]

I absolutely LOVE the natural sort of industrial theme you guys are going with throughout your home😍 cant wait to see more updates!

[@BaronHumbertvonGikkingen]

that lamp that Alex picked is Excellent! looks great in that corner too 😊

[@LindaALAINSON]

Alex has an amazing french accent ! “Maison du monde” 👏🏻

[@MazzyMadness]

Alex at the end😂 he’s so chill and casual and then ‘BYYEEE!!’

[@VeganBeautyGirl]

Omg I love your reno videos, thank you for coming back with these! Would love a tour of all the art in your home tbh! I've just moved and I'm struggling to find art prints... I know that there are tonnes of artists on IG/etsy but you can never find them when you need them!

[@milo02141998]

So glad to have you back!

[@PaulaJoW]

I love reclaimed wood too!

[@meganwolter95]

I think that part of why the shelves look off is the wood but also because the right bracket on the bottom shelf is longer than the bracket on the left side of that shelf. So the left one got switched around so the longer end is the part that is connected to the shelf instead of being the part that is hanging down and connected to the wall.

[@jenwhyte6440]

Love the look of your office. You've done a great job.

[@harrietflorence92]

we have shelves like this. my other half is a carpenter multi trade guy, he fixed the scaffold boards to the blacksmith brackets (we have similar ones) first, then measured a level line of height on wall where we wanted them, and then fixed the brackets which was already attached to the shelf onto the wall.. as the brackets are all made individually, we have about a 2cm gap at the back of the shelves to the wall, but the front etc is flush. if you haven't already on your next shelves, try attaching the shelf to bracket first etc xx

[@carolynallen597]

The shelves probably are level, it's the thickness that is probably different. If you measure from the top of one to the top of the other they will match.

[@hollypalmer95]

Watching you and Alex hang photos is like playing sims and decorating your house. I love it

[@Readingandgardening]

It all looks so lovely 😊

[@meilinchiang6951]

I love your ideas of your desks.

[@KyanneSummer]

It looks sooooo gorgeous ❤️💕 I would put a mirror on the wall cause it multiplies the light in the room and the room looks double the size

[@amyc4499]

Is it odd that this is my fav room? I just love seeing thought put into awkward spaces!

[@MadeleineOlivia]

Not odd at all! Thank you!

[@aiya6778]

Roxie is such a sweet fur baby

[@MadeleineOlivia]

She’s the best

[@Kursk431]

Happy you posted! Miss you two!💚

[@stellale_8221]

Your house looks like heaven on earth. Interior goals!! 😍

[@palynaike]

I love what you did with the space!

[@MadeleineOlivia]

Thank you!

[@dianamark649]

Looks beautiful and so happy that you’re back!

[@maramoon66]

My neighbour Totoro!!!! I love it. I love your style, it is wonderful to have you back Madeleine, I really enjoyed this video. xx

[@jessiefc1]

Missed you guys! The new office is lovely!!

[@MadeleineOlivia]

Thank you!

[@tee_jadee]

So glad you guys got to take some much deserved time off!!

[@ursulamelia7136]

Great job done! Looks super! We also live in an old house with sloping floors and you just have to live with the fact that things don’t align perfectly. Roxie seems to approve of the room! She is such a lovely dog!!!!💜💜💕💕

[@ansalexandras.5306]

It turned out sooooo nice! Good job 👍🏼

[@WillaOakes22]

happy to have you back!!

[@CookALifebyMaeva]

I really like what you did wih that office and I love these recycled wood office desks! Lovely chairs too, I didn't even know Maisons du Monde exist abroad, they have beautiful furniture (and also nice dishes, I used to have lots from that shop xD for the blog or just my own purpose but I sold/gave some when I started decluterring because I realized I always use the same ones and my cupboards were full...). Also that dog drawing is so original !

[@fluffinator3701]

It's such an adorable room, small and cosy and amazing windows with such deep walls. I love when it's crooked etc :) edit: I love the reclaimed wood desks, great choice!

[@EmilyK95]

These videos really feel like someone scratching an itch I couldn’t reach, they’re SO SATISFYING. Like, maybe the most satisfying thing I will ever see 😂 To watch someone patiently, thoroughly (not cutting corners) and relatively sustainably decorate my dream house in my dream style is just 🤤 Thank you so much for making these videos ❤️ If you’re ever looking for another career path, interior design is your calling!

[@hopemagnolia8920]

I love these vlogs, your little family is just so cute and beautiful, as well as your cottage! goals

[@diannessewingroom7]

It looks great I love your style.

[@michaelmercurio2312]

Great little office. Would love to see the progress you made on the garden.

[@jesssouthwest8776]

What a transformation! I’ve missed the reno videos.

[@martinaxo_]

Hey Maddie, great job with the office! Quick money saving office setup idea: if you’re happy with the performance of your MacBook, you can just get an extra monitor second hand, and connect it to your laptop via a HDMI cable. Plus a wireless keyboard and a mouse. I personally have it that way for my WFH setup, AND I put my laptop on a little metal raiser/shelf from ikea (it’s called variera, £3). It saves me from hunching over and the overall setup is so much cheaper than buying a new desktop computer! And a two screen setup reeeeally adds to my productivity :) Hope someone finds this helpful x

[@Iris-hc1hs]

Lovely video! Hope you are feeling better :). I always really enjoy your reno vlogs (I think it's why I started following your channel?) so it's a good one to come back with!

[@teresagould6987]

Yeah your back. Missed you guys but totally understand you needed a well needed break. Stay safe and so pleased you rested. Yippee 🥳 xxx 💖

[@jacquelinelovelace1718]

[@ervinsmoviecorner8748]

Great home office makeover, Madeleine!❤️

[@m0onchild3]

So cute! I wish I had a small area to dedicate an office!

[@ciaradonohue8064]

Great to see you back! Hope you enjoyed your time off! I love your office!

[@FairyLizzie]

Thanks for the update/ideas! How is the garden coming along?

[@lindalandgren4204]

SO happy that you're back. The offiec looks amazing, I really like the set up. Also the lamp Alex picked out, so cool!

[@NadaMajdy]

This is the cutest office ever ❤️ congrats you honestly did a great job and it turned out PERFECT

[@skyebeauchamp3192]

You could unscrew the table legs and have the curved end pointing towards the wall with the radiator

[@liviarocha]

Welcome back to KZbin! Happy you are uploading videos again and congrats on your office reno

[@annievautour9069]

how can people NOT like the reclaimed wood?! it’s gorgeous!

[@caporalemamandine643]

[@mariefournier4385]

[@harrietmaines6829]

love the office would love to know where and how you keep files/paperwork as we have loads and I have no idea how to store it less in your face? Xx

[@amorfatiloveyourfate]

Yay! I saw this posted yesterday but by the time I had a chance to watch it, it was gone. I was so sad. I've missed you guys.

[@Elsa-fe8ld]

Also please do a full house tour when you've done all the renovations? 🥰

[@Nandanagopan145]

Missed you olivia ❤️

[@klarahorakova9015]

The room is so lovely! Love it!

[@keepingupwiththegoodlife9729]

Love your channel! You remind me so much of me and my boyfriend. We also bought a cottage and nothing (I mean nothing!) is even or straight. We decorated our office last year and I'm the same with interiors! Very picky but he's not as fussed. The whole house is natural colours so I gave him free reign, our office ended up navy with lots of tropical plants and mustard cushions. To be fair I absolutely love it! Anything I left him to do (shelves etc) I always moaned he'd botched it until I started trying to do things myself and realised everything in the house would be skewed! We always joke that I'm the creative and he's the logistics, and if I want to change something in the house, I get it signed off by the project manager and get given a budget ha! It works for us and seems you guys have a similar set up :) Can't wait for more house vids! x

[@nicoleturner2586]

Just as an FYI, the printer can stop working from the sun! I don’t know if all printers do this, but it has happened to us!

[@samirapoffo4083]

Yay! I'm so happy that you are back!

[@lizandjohnny]

It looks gorgeous.

[@aryanadavin8135]

I always love the music you have in your videos. It’s so relaxing and beautiful. Do you have a playlist anywhere? Spotify? KZbin?

[@rachelsheumaker120]

you both amaze me with every single room!

[@hmmmmm1988]

Looks amazing!

[@agnese72]

Took a while to see thats Roxy’s portrait 😊 I love cottage/vintage interior design & your home is so tastefully designed.

[@cassmatazz]

I love your office!!!

[@meganbreakenridge]

So lovely! (you and the office)

[@Britbabe53]

Lovely office!!

[@hayleystokes3116]

Those chairs are *exactly* what I'm looking for but I just clicked the link and they're sold out. Nooooo! Love all the reclaimed wood. The double desk looks gorgeous 😍

[@MadeleineOlivia]

Oh noooo! Hopefully they’ll come back in stock!

[@chloejlambert]

This looks amazing! It’s great what can be done with smaller spaces with a bit of creativity! Can I ask where you got the lamp at 21:51 from? X

[@meeralakshmanan7190]

So glad to have you back ❤️😘😊💙!! I've missed your content!!

[@sabrinajohnson9415]

Thank goodness you're back! (I was actually worried). Beautiful office! I also love old cottage/rustic type wood, and I've recently fell in love with potted plants! I don't know how you keep the motivation, with all the updating... 😓

[@jackiesandberg122]

Your office is beautiful. I live in a wonky house, the struggle is real.

[@alee1809]

The shelves look great ! Reminds me of the story of the old crooked lady and her crooked cat and crooked house lol.

[@emeliasoderlund]

I'd never thought of putting the line-drawing off-center but it looks really cool! :)

[@mollycollins7625]

Looks so good!

[@krisvaughan1531]

Looks great!

[@kimwade6249]

It looks great!

[@SallyCreativity]

I'm so envious of this space it look so so so so good 😍
