Ripping Out The Wardrobes - Guest Room Reno Pt.1

[@conniestrand5727]

Can't wait to see the finished room! You and Simon are great at DIY--really impressed! Hope you are feeling better.

[@EmmaHill]

Thank you ❤️

[@erinm420]

I admire Simon’s work ethic, “we’re not going to try, we’re GOING to replace the floor”. WHATTA GUY!

[@simoncreasey4067]

We can do it 💪 🤣

[@kareenwilliams5099]

Simon is so humble making sure we know that the room is a joint effort.

[@simoncreasey4067]

❤️

[@pamelaatkinsonscats2873]

Wow, the work you two tackle never ceases to amaze me! And you with such a terrible cold, Emma! When I have a bad cold, I literally just sit around feeling sorry for myself.

[@EmmaHill]

To be fair Simon has done most of it so far - although I done most of our room so its only fair 🤣

[@jo6159]

LOVING your home reno videos. I'm currently in that process myself and i feel ya in terms of feeling like everything is a mess (but it will soon look ace). Also, doing it yourself - it saves so much money. My mate paid almost £2.K to paint her 2 bed flat (just walls). I'm painting everything myself too as need to pay for bath and garden reno (the quotes were like "it costs how much>" . thanks for the valspar matching tip. I go to Brewers Decorating centre and they do it slightly differently in that they don't scan (or at least i didn't see them scan), they put in the brand name and colour name. However, there are some shades that they can't do in every finish e.g. I went for F&B Calamide and they were like you have to get it in another finish (it looked no different but its worth knowing). Can't wait for your other videos x

[@evak8487]

I am thoroughly impressed with all the work you have been doing yourselves! I love these types of videos :)

[@catherines2544]

Those greens are so pretty. Amazing how much bigger the room looks without the wardrobes. New furniture can be set away from that wall to prevent those damp issues in the future too. I love how you are using the walls to brainstorm haha the IKEA pax online tool is so amazing

[@EmmaHill]

The tool was so good 👍 except for not telling you where hinges go (unless we missed that bit) 🙈

[@paolaalviz7104]

The samples of the green paint on the wall looks like art. Get a canvas, do the same and there you go 😁 Love your videos 🌿

[@deborahbedford1459]

You are the best!!! Such a trouper getting all that work down when you’re feeling poorly. I always love watching all your videos...and Simon is a great fella too - seems like he has a dry sense of humour.

[@ireneclark1817]

Loving the major positivity going on in the room it's so uplifting I'm on the couch trying to muster up energy to start emptying out loft😝😝😝😝

[@EmmaHill]

🤣 ❤️

[@JayneCatherineOnBooks]

Looks so much bigger without the old wardrobes. Can't wait for part 2 x Catherine 😄

[@erikakiss8855]

I’m living vicariously through you and have renovation envy... I know, I know, the mess, the dust BUT the end result is gorgeous!!!

[@fancythis]

i love these home reno videos of yours. i really like walking through the process along with you and seeing how you make decisions :) excited to see which color you choose!

[@DawnYarnDoll]

I've been looking forward to seeing this. I'm living for your designs. Blessed be xo

[@ieily]

Dawn Depictions the Blessed be gave me Handmaid’s Tale vibes 😜

[@suziejames7510]

Loving your renovation videos. I'm doing a no buy year for clothes and make up and refreshing my home instead so these videos are coming at the right time. It's looking great so far, keeping going girl. Hope your feeling better soon xx

[@awatson6773]

Get a leccy to change the light switch to the other wall then swing the door the other way - it'll help look even bigger!

[@EmmaHill]

We are having the door rehung but I don't think we are going to worry about the switch for now as we will likely have a lamp in the room and never used the main light previously. 👍

[@shelleypoole6415]

Was just going to bed on the west coast of Vancouver Island when I saw your post. ( now almost 11pm) Looking really good! I am no good at picking colours as I tend to buy paint, and redo the colours... or maybe I like redecorating! Can’t wait to see what colour you picked. I’m rooting for the dark green!

[@rachaeljones5767]

you guys have been busy . i wouldn't go too dark as its a smaller room it will make it feel even smaller . get well soon Emma x

[@jenniferclark8666]

Love the progress! Can't wait for the next one. 😊

[@cynthiafarnham1166]

I love learning new words or pronunciations! Lichen (like-en, with a gutteral/yiddisk ch sound /cat hissing li-ccchhh-in) it's the flat mossy stuff that grows on trees and rocks in a minty gray hue

[@ewaw9648]

love the home improvement vlogs

[@nae4830]

Yes, please do that mini/major declutter video as you’re trying to fit all of your wardrobe in yours only since Simon will have his own now.

[@jenniferadler3234]

Would you consider changing the door to swing in the other direction now that you've taken out the wardrobe? Meaning right not left? I'm in awe of your hardworking, its really coming along so nicely!

[@alisonmckenzie1415]

Good work guys , you made floor laying look relatively easy 🤣. Looking forward to seeing the finished result, good luck !!!!Xx

[@EmmaHill]

🤣 Simon was not happy. For some reason some of the flooring had moved and so he had to cut a few pieces and we still can't figure out why. LOL. but its back down now 🙈

[@alisonmckenzie1415]

Oh no I bet he wasn't happy😩,anyway you are both doing a great job.Well done Guys 👍

[@Sherryvintage44]

Love all your reno videos x i grew up in South East London ❤️💖

[@kirstyvinter2749]

[@balletxxflats]

aww i loved the dulux olive!

[@rachela3066]

I love that carpet, looking for a runner like that for my stairs!!!

[@Angelcat710]

Oh emma emma why dont you turn the extra guest room into a walkin closet? I mean how often are guests coming? 2 or 3 times a year at most? I see u have so many clothes and it is what you do for living , it is easier to keep all clothes together upstairs becos its is easier for u to change and creating outfits in heated rooms . Moreover simon can use the whole garden room for himself downstairs, its a win win situation!

[@EmmaHill]

That would be the dream but then we have nowhere for friends or family to stay. And all of my clothes are kept in the bedroom anyway so no problem 👍

[@leonaparic2089]

walk in closets are either for rich people who have 10 rooms or for poor youtubers who like to pretend to be rich and special .... emma is realistic woman who likes normality in her life and probably child in the future.... sorry emma i know this sound harsh ..i just cant handle this american wanna look rich vanity

[@bindirock1572]

Hello Emma. I find that pale olive super chic. Love this series sooo much.

[@allybiz7737]

I love the color "Lichen"! Very nice! :)

[@romy7976]

B&Q will also save the valspar mix on your account so you know you get the same every time 😀 just loving all your diy videos! You guys should go into property xx

[@EmmaHill]

Yes they do which is really helpful if you need to pick more up 👍

[@Frick_79]

It’s coming along great, the in between messy stage is always the worst and constant tradesmen in the house. Liking the green theme. Simon’s caring side really showing, Emma “but I’m not well” Simon “still playing that card are you?” 😉😆. Ps love the Mickey tee!

[@EmmaHill]

I never get any sympathy 🤣🙈

[@simoncreasey4067]

🤣❤️

[@Frick_79]

Emma Hill aww bless 🤗

[@NatiHerron]

I never thought about a narrow wardrobe, such a space saver! Can't wait to see it installed. How are the 5iveBs through all the renos?

[@EmmaHill]

They are OK. They get a bit frustrated with other trades people in the house as it means they have to be kept in the lounge but hopefully this week will be the last of the trades people (finishing some little bits in the basement and a few electrical bits we can't do) and then they can go back to having lots of space. ❤️

[@NatiHerron]

@@EmmaHillmy little guy doesn't like it when trades are in the house.

[@EmmaHill]

😍 bless them all 😍

[@simplysilent2980]

Another lovely vlog. Love this.

[@fleastylemarket4273]

I would change the bedroom door to swing the other way , against the wall instead of against the wardrobes that you just took down maybe x

[@suziejames7510]

You're right, will make the room look bigger. A builder once told me an interior door should always open to a wall.

[@joanwalters4741]

Yeah, You Both !!!! You have done so much, and it alllllll looooooks Great. SUPER YOU 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. Hope you feel better...take good care 🙏.

[@simoncreasey4067]

❤️ so tiring and looking forward to finishing but it will all be worth it.

[@x___rach]

I just love all the DIY content! With the colour matching, do you want the number closest to 0?

[@EmmaHill]

Yes that's correct (from what I understood anyway) as its a % of error so if it were 0% in theory it would be a perfect match 👍

[@x___rach]

@@EmmaHill I'm going to check my samples when I get home ❤️

[@rhirhijam]

Hello Emma, where was the cream cardigan that was hanging on the outside of the wardrobe door from?? I have taken a screenshot if you can’t remember!!

[@michelledry499]

Have you seen on Pinterest where you can order swatches of colors for the wall and they are like big plastic stick on squares so you can look at the colors? I think you can order different colors from different paint manufacturers. I was going to try this rather than the paint sample bit. Have you ever thought of a murphy bed so you have room to move around when no one is staying over?

[@EmmaHill]

No I haven't but it sounds like a great idea 👍

[@michelledry499]

Emma Hill Also what about a murphy bed? I am considering a dyi murphy bed because it takes up so much room for just guests a few times a year.

[@EmmaHill]

Im not a fan but I think the way we are arranging it will make a big difference and look so much better 🤞 Although they are great space savers for rooms that aren't used very often. Good luck with the DIY job if you give it a go 👍

[@acc426]

You and Simon make such a good DIY team. Must be nice for him to have a wife capable to help him. My husband also does a lot of stuff himself around the house but my help is with ideas and the cleaning and make him food 😬 Not so hands on myself.

[@EmmaHill]

The cleaning and food is probably the most important bit 👍 But yes it is good we can both chip in.

[@princessjulia5646]

Oh poor you that cold really makes you feel awful. Buy some beecham powder drinks blackcurrant really it got me through my cold. !!!. Lots of lemons with warm water and honey. Wish you better. 😇

[@Britbabe53]

I just love these... looks fabulous!

[@EmmaHill]

Thank you ❤️

[@Britbabe53]

Emma Hill Not sure how far along you are but I'm loving those muted sage greens... very spa like

[@EmmaHill]

Just started painting but as its a fairly small room we are hoping to have most of the room (aside from some finishing touches) completed and ready for next weeks vlog 👍

[@mimiandthemuse]

I live your renovation series. I hope that's not permanent marker on the wall. That stuff is hard to cover with paint. It shows through. I just painted my son's room and three coats on that marker was necessary!

[@EmmaHill]

It wasn't permanent but it still caused some issues 🙈

[@nicolalatham7939]

Can you just clarify the Valspar calibration numbers ie what would be an acceptable number (%) match for you, is 0 a perfect match and anything that is between 0 and 0.20 is very close? You said to avoid anything above a 1.....thanks

[@EmmaHill]

It is a % of error so the closer you are to 0% the better the match (0% error being a perfect match) 👍

Oh I didn't know they done that too. Although it should be a bit of fun putting it together once it arrives 🤣

Each farrow and ball colour has a colour code, you just need to give them the code for an exact match.

[@susulone]

This is really of the topic but how do you wear blazers while avoid looking 10 years older while wearing them?! 😂 It frustrates me like no other when I try to wear one and I look just, well, older than I need to be. Is it the fit or the fabric or what?

[@EmmaHill]

There are lots of things to consider - try my blazer video where I give some tips which may help 👍 kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6DPoqCwrtOpjtU

[@clotilde7752]

i am confused! where is at the moment (before reno) Simon 's desk/studio?? i thought it was here in the spare bedroom but now i can't see it ahahaha i can't remember ahaha sorry

[@EmmaHill]

We have an out building which we turned into the studio (so its in the garden) and Simon normally works down there. But now he also has a laptop he works wherever - he will probably still be in the studio during warmer months. ❤️

[@Nina_DP]

Do you not have a coat closet on your main floor near an entry? Is that the norm in the UK? So enjoying these videos. And very impressed with you and Simon, not only with the work you're accomplishing but with your civility with each other throughout the process. My husband and I would surely have killed each other by now! 😂

[@EmmaHill]

🤣 Oh we do come close some times 🤣 We do have a porch where we used to hang coats but it just made it look so cluttered. Plus I prefer to have all my bits in one place for when I get ready as it helps me decide on outfits 👍

[@ellisrose8017]

Where is the bed from? Because it has drawers under there, I have never seen that with a Boxspring. Oh and I went and looked for your beautiful cutlery, but Next doesn't deliver those specific items to the Netherlands :( Great job on the flooring :D

[@EmmaHill]

It was from Ebay (I think). Its called a divan with storage. They are quite common in the UK but this one was only a temporary solution when we first decided to turn the room back into a bedroom 👍

[@olfeaeflo]

Guys why don’t you switch the open of the door? I think you will save a lot of space 🥳
