IKEA & HOMESENSE HOMEWARE HAUL. STORAGE & GARDEN IDEAS *CHATTY* MR CARRINGTON 2023

[@margaretdrew2844]

The kittens are lucky to have each other. They always have someone to play with .❤

[@maysloman5313]

The Blind is brilliant. The fabric is reminiscent of a Sandersons classic. The storage ideas are innovative 💡. I didn't realise you had two kittens. Thanks for sharing.

[@LynnFarleigh-yw8ug]

You could hang your keys from the 3 hooks. The light saga at the end was so funny. Thanks for the vlog.

[@cketts8128]

Oh how I’ve missed your end of video bloopers!!! That made me laugh out loud….nearly lost my tea! 😂🧡💚

[@pobstrel]

Love the jacket and the pink t shirt underneath!

[@camillalindeblad4492]

Sometimes I think you guys outside of Scandinavia miss out on the great fun of Ikea naming. The grey planter in the metal frame is called Rosenkål which is Brussels sprouts 😂😂😂

[@geekelly000]

You got me google translate a bunch of words from Ikea. 😅 Pretty straight forward names I have to say. I mean, it just makes a lot of sense.

[@TeriHargraveartist]

I love it... Defo missing out 😭

[@camillalindeblad4492]

Ikea actually has quite a stringent naming standard. So outdoor furniture is named after Scandinavian islands, sheets and bedding after flowers and plants and bathroom articles after Swedish lakes.

[@artssygrl]

I love a post that I learn from. We have a giant Ikea store here in Tampa Florida. Next time I go I'm going to ask for the Brussels sprouts and see if they direct me to the cafe or the garden supply. Wish me luck!

[@aprilsmith1166]

@@camillalindeblad4492 That's interesting! I had no idea!

[@SannaGNR]

That violent shake at 18:42 made me laugh out loud (and rewind 😅) Tired Mr. C is a vibe 😹

[@heathermurray9939]

Grow your own vegetables and fruit, I use seeds from supermarket vegetables and fruit, it tastes better home grown. If you get potatoes that have started to sprout just plant them in containers outside

[@loramiller5356]

You got those large flower pots at a great price. I'm ready to start planting and I know you are too. Can't believe you got snow. Have a great day.

[@sootyginger4388]

What were you on about with the candle's 🙈 you do make me smile 😊 looking forward to the roof garden updates.

[@joannaallsop5926]

Himr c love the garden pots ..and blind ...hope kittens enjoy ther toy ..you'll have to let us know ....all in all great lot ..thanks Mr c 😂 xjo♥️♥️🐕🐕

[@pamcollins3603]

You can use hot glue to make your candle drips. You could also paint your candle stems.

[@Izzyic7505]

Hi Mr C. Loved the bloopers at the end. Very entertaining. The video itself was great but bloopers 👍👍. I think you deserve some alcohol in the DC 🤣🤪🤩

[@artssygrl]

You can paint the gray plastic to look like terra cotta. Add some baking soda to a terra cotta color of craft paint. I did one recently and added a few spots here and there with black and more with bits of white. Since yours are going outside (if you decide to do this) I would finish it with a sealer. Now that I have written this; I seem to recall you previously doing the baking soda paint technique. I'll hit send anyway. I posted mine to my Instagram, same name and I'm also one of your subscribers there.

[@annetteminett8500]

Watching in June 2024; love the blue plant pots, great value. The blinds look easy 2 put up, hope they still have them now. Lovely little rugs. Like the white candles, good idea dripping wax down them. Your hair was looking super btw Mr. C x

[@terrylampard3892]

Can I just say your living room looks beautiful 😊

[@MrCarrington]

Thank you!

[@ebony2000]

I was thinking it looks ever so tranquil & cosy 😊

[@bobbikalmer9184]

Firstly, love your sofa. I think those hooks would be great to hang belts in your closet.

[@juliestockmeyer5871]

LOVED THE OUTTAKES!! Bless you!!! ❤😂😂

[@pocketminxuk112]

Top tip, varnish outside and inside of terracotta pots to prevent frost damage/breakage. Dont ask how I know this🙄 Boat or deck varnish is durable.

[@LilacRagdoll3180]

LOVE THIS FUN VIDEO....💜💜🐈🐈. Remember what I said about the flickering lights....😊💙✨✨

[@shabbysuse7821]

Lovely haul!

[@denisemeredith2436]

To make the pots less heavy put some polystyrene in the pot and put the soil on top, the polystyrene helps with drainage too.

[@annetteminett8500]

I’ve done this, it works really well.

[@heathermurray9939]

Pink is your colour, it looks great on you

[@amandageorge9904]

Haha I like the bloopers at the end. Another great video xx

[@kathleenholliday5910]

Hi Mr C! I would suggest using the £2 hanger as a "bin" under the sink, with plastic carrier bags... x.

[@margaretbarclay-laughton2086]

You do make me smile. I would fix a batten to my wall at different heights with a gap behind them to hang the pot holder, but that might not be feasible in your property. If in doubt, blame the kittens for any mischief or missing items Cookie loved to play hide and seek with my fountain pen.

[@juliebrown3720]

I love your Creativity. I agree about having more expensive Cushion Inserts. 🌸

[@annsmith4739]

Always look forward to see what you buy an see in the shops ,I’m disabled an don’t get out as much I like so thank you lv Ann 💕🇬🇧❤️😊

[@NANov5]

Loving the sofa were it is mr c 💙.... Ps you are funny when your tired 🤣

[@carolinemcleod4554]

For the candle wax you get coloured glue sticks you can use for wax on your candles,

[@CharlotteGalashan]

Did anyone else get home alone vibes from those 2 flameless candles? 😂 love the blind!

[@michelledevereux1905]

Some good bargains... Very informative, enjoyable 🛍🛍🛍

[@mainchannelofarondomguy]

Please a make over of the roof garden 😀

[@galebecker3487]

Hi Iwan, im loving your sofa, it looks gorgeous with the new cover. The planters are going to look perfect on your roof garden, beautiful colour. I agree with you on the cushion inners, the inner really makes the cushion look good even with an inexpensive cover, with a good inner, you achieve that lovely plump sumptious look. Love all the other things you bought too. Hello Pumkin and Mittens😻Gale x

[@suekey8072]

The trough hangers I’ve seen hanging on the back of garden benches they looked pretty… gave an early night x

[@lully381]

Loved this Vlog, especially the outakes at the end, what was going on with that light?? Lots of cool stuff you managed to find in HS and Ikea. The planters, both lovely, I do like it when they are reduced such bargs they are then. Blind looks great with the magnetic strip, and those mats for £2! Bargains must see you comming through the door and throw themselves on the shelves! Everything were all good and great ideas too, hooks, rails, love those LED candles, the fence hangers for pots, the window box, the list goes on. Not got either of those stores in my town, so will have to plan a trip further afield sometime, I need to see Ikea and I need to see Home Sense too! Thanks for this Vlog Iwan, loooking forward to more this week end.

[@heatherradford1994]

Loved this and did giggle quite a bit. You always find the best things to buy x

[@sharonrobinson6214]

Haha loved the ending , it made me laugh out loud , great bits in your haul , can’t wait for hacks and diys xx

[@ladyjessiecoyne2617]

I loved this vid lol.... when you stuck the candles in each side of ur face I giggled..... and I love a blooper pmsl... as always huge huggles from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🤗

[@laurieconover7243]

Love the curtains!! Great idea apartment friendly using the cup hook screws....magnets - genius.

[@patriciaschmitt6448]

Can't wait for some DIY's Mr. C.

[@nang.s.8869]

I like how Iwan greets us twice at the start of every video, once to the channel and once a new video, very welcoming. Love all the things you showed.

[@lucyroberts2800]

You could use the cup hanger for belts in the wardrobe the other one I thought bin bags 😻

[@vintagegal541]

Mr. C! Your sofa looks great! I like those teal pots. I just don't know where you find the time for YT and Instagram with your busy schedule. I checked Google to see how long it was between London and Leeds. Basically a 6 hour round trip plus travel time to and from the station and the before show prep, then the show? Are you on Steph's Packed Lunch every Friday? Thanks for letting us visit again today!

[@MrCarrington]

😅😅 my schedule varies but when I’m on it’s usually a Friday! ❤️

[@TheJoelWood]

I LOVE the new sofa cover!!

[@karenburgess1964]

I love the troughs with the metal holders, i would spray paint the troughs with stone effect paint I think that would make them look much more expensive!! Also loved the blind too! X

[@laurieconover7243]

Just so enjoy hanging out with you during and after your shopping trips! You have great taste and reasonable prices!

[@juliagill9070]

Spoiling us with all these vlogs, sofa looked amazing btw. Cant wait watch you later on TV too 🤗

[@donnabennett2546]

Love the planters and blind. But hey what’s not to love when your let loose in IKEA and Home sense.x

[@ivyc7336]

Hi Mr. C! Love the two pots you got from Homesense. The color is beautiful & giving me Mediterranean vibes. Not to mention the price was such a great deal for their size. I also like the shades from Ikea with the magnet adjustment & I think a smaller one would look great in your refurbished bathroom for privacy purposes. Great haul as always. Thanks for sharing. Much love from Fort Worth, Texas! 😊⚘🌱

[@ainsleywinkworth9939]

What a great idea, Mr. C, to add actual candle drippings to the battery-operated candles! And, by the way, your new sofa covering looks ab fab!

[@bonitaparry7249]

Lovely haul. I will definitely investigate the blind, but the bloopers were my favourite part Lol.

[@sharontrent-bm2bm]

Your new sofa covers look fab

[@zuzuspetals8323]

Pumpkin’s such a rascal. Thanks for the smiles. 😉 p.s. The plant pots are fabulous

[@trevorthompson7765]

Loved the outtakes at the end Mr C 😂

[@barbarafreindorf9100]

Love your videos they are so real mistakes and all , keep them coming .x

[@susandibble3525]

Lol 😂 loved the out tales 🤪

[@thriftytowers7160]

loving the planters. you got a fab bargain with those.

[@cathylynnpietranton]

Mr. C I really like the shade with the magnets. That is so cool.❤️

[@KevinM913]

The sofa looks great with the new cover. Certainly it was the right choice of cover. I will look out for the blind in store. Could be just what I’m looking for.

[@denisew.123]

The bloopers at the end were hilarious, love them! 😂

[@paulineclare5065]

Love your sofa good choice!

[@pattireinheimer5612]

You might try a little alcohol ink on those candle flames instead of acrylic paint. You’ll be able to get a more realistic effect I think. Also, if you don’t care for it, a bit of alcohol will take it off.

[@poppysydney3564]

I think the magnet blinds are very innovative. Its versatile, as well as keeping everything neat . Thanks for the video :)

[@juliemorrison7477]

Wow love the blue pots you always get such good bargains and the ikea blind what a good price, blinds are so expensive nowadays!! Can’t wait for your storage hacks So funny seeing the original beginning, light and cats playing up 😂.

[@flowergalpower2681]

The blue thing is a scarf holder. I have a couple but you can use for something else too. Your cats have such beautiful markings 😻😻 Enjoy your week. ❤️

[@gwynethyoung7889]

I like all the things you bought for the roof garden, but particularly the blue terracotta pots. I'm intrigued how you will utilise the storage items, but oh my, what bargains! I enjoyed the out-takes with the lights. xx😜😜😜😜

[@ketherwhale6126]

The glaze colour on those two large planters are perfect for summer- reminds me of a nice vacation in the Greek islands. 🏝

[@flohough1870]

Fun haul and I loved the ending!

[@annewebber]

love your shirt x

[@dorisrougvie1793]

Great ideas ,,love all the items

[@binfacelardgod1906]

The Kittens are having a mad half hour .😂

[@kaycee625]

The blue glaze on the pot is gorgeous!! Just a word of caution, at that price it’s possible it’s not frost proof, so do be careful in winter because it could split.

[@MrCarrington]

Thank you for the heads up!

[@RIXRADvidz]

Pumpkin looks like a cat we had when I was growing up. Qiana we also had Doobert and Trampas 3 cats 2 dogs, Puppy and Sheba, my dad and step-mom, they said they only drank, but I don't know ..... this was the Early 70's. .... Haul indeed, unless you hired an Uber to get home, it Was A Haul.

[@MrCarrington]

Luke’s wheels thankfully! 😅

[@nataliesmith303]

Those plant pots are lovely and all the better at half price. You defo had a snuffer before. I’m sure it was a set from primark and it came with some wick cutters. I asked for a set for Christmas which my friend got from Amazon. Loved the outtakes 😊

[@MrCarrington]

Ahh yes, I gave that set to Luke!

[@nataliesmith303]

@@MrCarrington doh! 🤣

[@madelineclarke7608]

Hi Iwan great haul, the blue planters r great & the window boxes, the hooks r a great idea, can't wait to c ur diys, take care enjoy your weekend lots of love to you mittens & pumpkin 💕💕💕

[@shirleydunn8050]

I think that blind is incredible value. Love the pattern and it’s so well thought out with it being magnetic also easy to put up. The outtakes were so funny! 😹😹

[@tomvalveede6808]

Hi lwan! Loved the video and your kitties! If you plan on embellishing the flames on the LED candles, l would use color markers in orange and yellow. These will definitely let the light shine through. Loved the feather pillow inserts. That was a great suggestion! I was needing to replace some and didn't know that IKEA sold them. So very helpful! You are such a treat for me to look forward to! And l love going back to view some of your vintage videos. I just saw the Easter biscuit decorating video with Kate and Luke. You 3 have a great vibe whenever you're together. I always wish I could be there with you! You did the best job of all. I loved the bunny in a pot that you made. You all are so lucky to be constantly invited to participate in these special events! And your take away gifts are awesome! Take care, your friend in Kansas City, Tom. ♥️🍀🌷💐🌈♥️🍀🌷💐🌈♥️🍀🌷💐🌈♥️🎉🎉🎉

[@suzannejohnston7212]

Very nice haul. Enjoyed seeing all of your new treasures!

Hello Mr C. Omg that pot is wonderful. GreAt buy. Full the bottom with plastic bottles then cardboard then leaves then soil.

Hi Love the ceramic pots and the £10 planters. They really compliment each other. Bet you are waiting for a break in the weather when we can all refresh our gardens😘

[@Yvonneb_]

Great video, loved it. Xx

[@sarahjayne98]

Great haul. And the bloopers are back 😂 looking forward to some craft videos 😁🤪

[@dianedelandro5027]

I bought a few of the natural mats after seeing yours and Luke’s trip to IKEA. I only needed one but I had to have spares for whatever you are going to do create? Can’t wait😎

[@MrCarrington]

🙌 @hermionechantal has done some DIYs with them too!

Love all your finds. I love homesense and ikea. Such good prices. 😊🇨🇦

[@dianajemison105]

Great finds! I love the big pots. Love the color! You may be able to use alcohol inks on the flames of those candles. It would probably look more realistic than paint. 😊

[@tannysarcana2366]

your roof garden will look beautiful the cats are adorable loved the end bit with the lights lol

[@hillarygroundwell2807]

Great haul and love the pots but be careful with them outside as the frost cracked all my terracotta pots so none left

Hi , what a good varied selection of goodies you have to show us. Thank you and also thanks for putting extra videos up. The kittens have really grown! Look forward to your next video.xxxx

[@Kari_B61ex]

I'm going to let my daughter know about the Ikea LED candles - my 11 year old granddaughter loves candles in her bedroom... a naked flame is obviously dangerous. Amazon is so expensive, so Ikea is a great find.

[@possumcolvett5722]

Hi Mr Carrington I really enjoyed watching your video and seeing all the goodies you found at IKEA they have some interesting things and mittens and pumpkin are so cute have a great day Possum 😊

[@possumcolvett5722]

Thankyou so much have a great day Possum

[@vivsalittlebitcrafty4854]

I wonder what the large plastic trough of the 'window boxes' would look like sprayed with Rustoleum stone effect? Have to say I absolutely love the magnetic blind.
