Skeindeer Knits Moving Vlog 2024

[@MsRoslet]

Congratulations on your new home! I wish you every happiness there... wish I had known earlier as I also live just down the road and I could have helped or made hot drinks. Then I would have given your my best moving tip... make your bed your priority when you move, so you have somewhere to crash and label each box with the room name when you are packing. Create an emergency box, with mugs, tea/coffee, kettle, cutlery, biscuits and details of local takeaways. Hope you have a wonderful life in your new home!

[@glynismarsh4532]

Beautiful new flat! Regarding the curtains in the bedroom, I think keep them short because longer ones would cover the radiator and you wouldn’t want all the heat getting stuck behind your curtains. I also think you’ll have fun arranging your garden space as well. It looks really cozy and comfortable and I’m so happy things worked out for you in the end!

[@BrendieR]

It was so nice to hear the joy and pride in your voice for your lovely flat. It looks so cosy and welcoming. I bet the outside space will be gorgeous when the weather perks up too. Well done Eli!

[@cyndylee544]

I think your new living quarters look very nice and lovely how you've set it all up. I'm sure it will look even better when you get all the touches to it that you want. And yes, I'm SO GLAD you got a new refrigerator, because that old one would have driven me nuts too with the kind of noise it was making. Oh, and I LOVE your rug, too! Just beautiful!

[@maleneschumann04]

🎉 Congratulations on your new home. The curtains in the bedroom are perfect length 😊

[@marty9011]

Moving is stressful & you certainly had more stress than you needed but you are IN ! I love your red curtains. Fashion is not important, have what you like.

[@nikkijohnson552]

Moving was an enormous task with so little help from friends/no brawny family members. You persevered and conquered! Enjoy the comfort and coziness. Good luck!

[@morningloryke]

You've done a lot of work already. Making it your own is so satisfying.

[@thefaithfulsheepcrafts4021]

Congratulations on your new home . We had a situation where we had the entire contents of our house loaded on a van we hired to move and had exchanged and at 4:00pm we had not completed . We were assured not to worry . At 4:30 pm our buyer called us and said it wouldn’t be going through that day ! He found it highly amusing and said “ our solicitor forgot to tell us to transfer the funds ( they were cash buyers ) . We had a 4 year old and an 18 month old . We had to stay at my parents the night and next day was my 30th birthday . We had to sleep on floor at my parents and kids were on their sofa and we literally had changing bag with nappies and spare set of clothes for the kids . Even then we had to wait until almost 4pm the next day for the keys it was awful . It was 28th May but we were still moving stuff in once it got dark .

[@joannamartin7917]

Congratulations on your big move! I love your curtains but I’m an old fashioned girl! Classic never goes out of style and doesn’t need to conform to fashion. ❤❤

[@amandarenshaw2940]

I worried about you over Christmas! So relieved you are finally in your flat. I love it x

[@99LB28i]

Its a gorgeous flat Ellie, and two amazing outside spaces. Congratulations. I love it 🥰

[@karimartenordsteien9529]

Wow, Eli, your own place! I am a little worried about your back now that I see how much you already unpacked and how much ikea stuff you have assembled. Take some time to be proud of yourself🎉

[@annie1040]

your new flat is gorgeous and will be even more so as time goes by and you make it more your own, i wish you every health and happiness in it xx

[@lynntimmer1620]

Joy! Well-deserved joy! Congratulations on surviving; now on to thriving in a special snd lovely flat!

[@debwhite9980]

Congratulations on your new home it’s looks lovely

[@sdh9165]

Beautiful result, Ellie! I hope you are delighting in your very own place after all your efforts.

[@AStateofDeNile]

Congrats on the move ... even with all the incidents! They make for good stories. Oh Eli! It's so lovely and cozy! Your living room is so inviting. You're right that fridge had to go. I would stay with the shorter curtains in the bedroom to prevent the heat not being able to circulate from the radiator. I hope you get your coffee maker soon. Have you decided what your 1st cast on will be in your new place? Happy Birthday!! May this be your best trip around the sun yet! xx

[@raevynwoods9403]

That must have been a stressful moving week! What a mess... But I love how your apartment looks! Especially the curtains (I want those) and the rug (I would like that too, please) in the living room.

[@freda4336]

Congratulations Elly! Your own place, where you can be you. Take it in and everything else can come later. I wish you all the happiness you have ever wished for and more. I almost forgot to say, thanks for bringing us along on your journey. Longer curtains definitely make the room look higher and yes, get longer curtain rods. That will allow more light and make those doors look bigger.

[@VisitWithNanaAndPapa]

I think the shorter curtains in the bedroom look great, make the room look bigger than the long ones.

[@rosemaryc9093]

Congratulations! You’ve done wonders in a short time! There will always be more to do, to get, but as time passes, you’ll better understand what you want. Curtains are lovely. I’ll enjoy following you.

[@wendyherman6833]

Congratulations on your new home! I think the shorter curtains in your bedroom are better. The longer curtains made the room look smaller.

[@amominak2]

How exciting for you 😊❤! Congratulations Ellie! I love your decor, especially the new rug and both sets of curtains! The short ones give a sense of more space in my opinion (not a decorator here tho🙄) Enjoy the quiet fridge and all of the newness🤗🥂 Cheers

[@marynate3760]

So happy for you to have your own space. And those curtain are darling. Don’t change a thing. Enjoy!

[@raphaele4561]

Hello, so happy for you ! Your flat is so nice, and cosy. The size of your curtains is perfect for a bedroom I think. I have little one in my bedroom too. 🧡🧡🧡

[@thelouharmon60]

Short curtains look great to me! What a monumental tasks that move was!

[@leslienero7884]

Yay, so glad you are finally in your new home! I have been wondering how you were doing since the last podcast, so I'm glad that part is over. For what it's worth, I think the bedroom curtains are just fine, you have more space with them.

[@annies2416]

Hurray and congratulations on your new home. The living room looks modern and adorable! I love your plaid curtains. You’ve accomplished a lot in a short period of time. Hope you take time to catch your breath and reflect on how far you’ve come since moving to London. Thanks for sharing your new home with us. We’re always cheering for you.💕🎉🎊

[@heatherbill1328]

I am so delighted for you!! This long awaited move...what a relief!

[@kelliesinclair5981]

Curtains look fine as they are and should help with heating the room as if you had longer ones they might block out some heat

[@katebollinger8815]

Ahhhh, I love both sets of new curtains. I vote for keeping the shorter in the bedroom so they're less likely to be in the way if you're standing over there. The rugs are also fabulous. What a triumph--you made it! And it's yours! And it looks amazing! So many congratulations.

[@tanjabrauer6391]

Your place is so lovely! Congratulations 🎉 Fantastic that you have outdoor living spaces 💖 And I love your decorating - the curtains in both rooms look perfect!

[@joanwootton9388]

Thanks for sharing! I loved seeing everything you did to make it your home. Reminds me of decorating my first apartment. I like the shorter curtains. I think longer curtains would make the room seem smaller.

[@gaby8567]

Oh, I’m so incredibly happy for you. You look like an enormous weight has been lifted off you. I wish you much happiness in your new home and that everything from now on goes your way. So you finally get to relax.

[@charlottemeixner7536]

Congratulations on moving 🎉 enjoy your new flat and enjoy making it your own space.

[@lakeviewchicachicago2042]

It’s a lovely place! Congratulations! I’m so happy for you! And I like the shorter curtains.

[@spryknits]

Love that you're finally moved in! I'd leave the bebedroom curtins shorter so they aren't over the heater.

[@isarose3136]

YAY after SO much craziness (I would have totally broken down by that point) you're a HOMEOWNER! I love your plaid curtains, it makes it very cozy and it goes with your sweaters! Also, that haze in the narrow glass window, if it's a double pane window check the seal on inside and outside. People will tell you it needs replacing but if you wait til a good dry summer day when there's less haze, and then use clear caulk to caulk around the window on both sides, it will at least be sealed again, which is good for cold. You old refrigerator WAS making an awful sound! Our house came with a 1980's fridge and although it's beige and makes a lot of noise it's such a good machine that I don't want to get rid of it now! I don't think your bedroom curtains are too small, and AAHHH you are very lucky to have TWO outdoor spaces! Thanks for the tour! It's SO COZY!! I'm glad you are finally settled because yeah, moving can bring up a lot of feels.

[@GagaKnits]

Moving is very stressful, but you're in now and can start enjoying owning your own home. Usually you are able to swap which way fridge doors open. In your case, if the hinges are on the left accessing the contents would be easier when you are working in the kitchen. I like the shorter curtains in the bedroom. Long curtains would block the heat from the radiator. Structurally it makes no difference where you attach a curtain rail above a window/door. I have a cheese plant (Monstera) like yours and just beware having it near fabrics as the leaves sometimes drip some kind of liquid. It will be fun for you exploring your new area. Wishing you lots of happy times in your new home. X

[@smilerbabes45]

I'm so happy your finally in your new home. Your bedroom curtains are lovely but maybe for winter order a longer part mid length will be fine. You've worked so hard to getting it looking good. You should be proud of yourself and its all yours too, yeah.

[@andromedaknits]

Very happy to hear the move finally happened! Your living room is so cozy. I hope you'll be very happy in your new home. All you need now is a cat, or two! 😺😸🐱

[@helleullmannhansen1307]

Your place looks so good😃 Congratulations with it and with being done with the move!!! I love the rug, the curtains, the yards, … And it looks like some cosy knitting spots🧶

[@diskmedl]

So happy for you! And you've really made it so cozy, wish you all the best!

[@prairiecraftwitch]

So happy to see that all the moving drama has resolved! Your new home looks lovely and I think the new bedroom curtains look great as they are. Congratulations on the new place ❤

[@tamaragrottker7677]

What a story! Moving is very stressful. I can't believe you had the fortitude to video your experience. What a great space. Enjoy many years of joy in your new place -- without roommates!!!

[@valeriejohnson1043]

The knitting world is so happy you are all settled. We missed you and also understand. Congratulations 🎉🍾 on the new flat. Love it

[@JADufault21]

Congratulations!!!🎉 American refrigerators are designed so that you can change which side the door hinge is on. If you can have the hinges on the left side, it would be so much easier for you when getting things to cook or putting things away.

[@mariapapagiannidi5331]

Nice little apartment, and you’ve done a really nice job decorating. As far as the blue rug in the living room goes, if you think it takes up too much floor space, just move it further back under the couch towards the wall. You can move it back just far enough so that the coffee table will sit in the middle of the rug, just where you want it. Hope you’re happy in your new home!!

[@sallythomas7940]

Congratulations Eli!! Nothing has gone particularly quickly for the 2 houses that I have bought in the past 34 years in the USA. Seems to just be the perils of becoming home owners. So glad to see you getting settled. The stress seems to have left your face from the beginning of the vlog to the end. I love the red plaid curtains in the living room. 🙂

[@bionance]

so very happy for you ms. skeindeer - isn't living alone, in your *own* place just the most fabulous? you are creating a lovely new nest and you will find sooo much happiness there! well done!

[@yasmine32069]

Congrats, lady! I like the curtains in the bedroom. They don't block the radiator. Stop stressing it's beautiful and it's yours!

[@theknittingburrow]

Love your new place, it's beautiful Eli!! Cheers to that new life!! :)

[@elsterbean7909]

Congratulations on your new place! The sitting room looks so cosy and there is so much outdoor space. My mother has a fridge like your old one. It sounds like it has indigestion. I don't know why she hasn't replaced it as it drives me mad when I visit.

[@kimyahnkecrochetandknitcre7342]

Congrats on your flat so happy for you and glad to see a smile on your face. Maybe I could send you a dish scrubbie and dish cloth that I crochet for a housewarming gift.

[@dorykoszewski3162]

Eli, I’m so happy for you. Your home is lovely and I would keep the shorter curtains in the bedroom. They are so charming.Congratulations and Happy belated Birthday ❤️❤️❤️

[@Woeschhuesli]

Love your living room! And your bedroom curtains, though my preference would be longer. You do you… It‘s satisfying, isn‘t it?! I‘ve just been refurnishing my mom‘s old place so with you on the decorating vibes. 😊 Disgusted at the property industry in England (very familiar); we‘ve bought and sold property several times in 🇨🇭and everything goes through within days, couple of weeks at most 😳

[@patricialoux5193]

Congratulations on finally getting into your own personal place! I hope it is always a happy welcoming cozy space for you that enhances your life and creativity!

[@miriamalbert8587]

Congratulations on your new home! It’s fabulous! Wishing you much happiness there!

[@Cdngardengirl]

I love the red plaid curtains, they add texture and warmth to the living room. And bedroom curtains are the right length for a rad below. And good choice on the fridge replacement. Sounds like the compressor on the old one was going. Looks like you'll be very happy in your new place.

[@angiesusi9891]

Congrats on your new place Eli! For your curtains, yes up and out is correct, helps the window look bigger. Also, I would switch the side of how your new fridge opens, that way you can set things down on the counter and not go around the fridge door. Yay for you!

[@kajainstitches]

+1 on the freezer door situation.

[@mytrueserenity5666]

Congrats on your new home! Longer drapes in the bedroom would be my suggestion. I love that you have a small yard to yourself. Seems perfect for you. :-)

[@lesliehamilton6151]

Looks great! Maybe the monstera plant is just suffering from a bit of moving shock. I think it will need more light than it gets by the bookshelf. I like the curtain length.

[@jennifermartone3029]

I love your living room. Curtains are perfect and the sets it off lovely. Main thing you love it!😊 ❤

[@yarnymcyarn]

congrats!! lots of obstacles, but you survived and now can build your new joyful journey. The fridge sound like the defrosting function, if the fridge part is too full, the freezer cannot keep everything at the perfect temps in freezer section, so it over-compensates, and keeps cutting in to make itself colder sometimes, things to check, would be temp set for each fridge and freezer. and If the unit is balanced on the floor properly. There is a drip tray inside the frame of the fridge and the sound is when they tray heats up and vibrates doing it's job, it should do that but not vibrate so loudly that you can hear it though, that usually means that the freezer is trying to self regulate too often. hope this helps

[@miaandlena]

Congratulations!!! Excellent perseverance on your part as well! You’ve done a wonderful job of creating a beautiful, cozy space in such a short period of time. I really love the folk-art inspired living room rug - you’re right, it brings everything together. I personally would keep the bedroom curtains at the short length, as if it were my place, I know I would eventually want to add some additional shelves or other storage on the sides of the window, and longer curtains would get in the way.

[@gilliantherese7202]

Congratulations Eli, your new flat is lovely.✨Yes, I think that longer curtains would work in your bedroom. Enjoy putting your new home together.💛

[@marynolan6627]

Awesome....congrats.....so glad things finally came together for you! Enjoy your new place and new neighborhood.

[@BettySusanne]

Thanks for sharing! I’m so happy for you. Congrats on your place and getting settled. I agree that the living room curtains should be higher and wider. Love how cozy this room is looking. The bedroom curtains ideally should be a bit longer but they do look cute. I hope you enjoy your new space and have many happy years there. ❤

[@Jammanich]

So much work but so beautiful. Well done you Birthday girl

[@smallofferings]

Wow! It's a great flat and a decent size. And two yards and a shed - you did well to find this place. I'm also amazed by how much you did in such a short time. we've been in our house for 9 months and still haven't hun g the pictures 😮 I hope you'll be really happy in it!

[@jo-annefalconer6280]

Thanks for the moving vlog, what an amazing place to call your own, looking back in a year, it will be worth all the stress of getting to this point. I think your bedroom curtains do need to be longer so the cold air is kept out better. It may be that you could have your fridge doors to open the other way so you don't need to almost leave the room to get something out. Love your blue carpet.

[@HollyBerriesKnits]

So happy for you! Your new space is perfect and love how you have decorated it. I like the length of the curtains and that rug is gorgeous.

[@wendyroberts4769]

Happy Birthday Eli!! It's so lovely to see you settled in your OWN HOME 🏡You have it looking so cosy and welcoming already. Re your window, it looks like the double glazed panel has "blown". This can be removed from the unit and replaced easily and reasonably cheaply by a window fitter when you are ready. I think your idea of eventually raising the curtain pole and extending the length is good, as it would give more light and a better view of your garden when the curtains are open. Enjoy settling in to your new abode 🧶

[@catb2069]

What an amazing job you have done with a daunting task in such a short time! It looks beautiful. I hope you will create many wonderful memories there. Welcome home!!❤

[@majaendresenbasso3102]

Gratulerer med vel overstått bursdag og gratulerer med ny flott leilighet♥️

[@bethmacdonaldstone]

Big congrats! Your new home looks fabulous. Enjoy ❤

[@deborahking7873]

Congratulations on your new home, it looks so cozy and comfortable. You did so much so fast. I look forward to seeing what you do with your outdoor spaces. Thanks for sharing ❤

[@nicolelafontaine1720]

I am so happy to know you have finally completed the buy of your own space. It does seem very complicated to move in England. We have a different issue in Montreal, every one mooves the same day, or around, the first of July and the mooving dance, trucks, workers have all to go very smoothly, which is rare, but never as bad as you have it in England. Happy birthday !!! 🥳 🎉 🥂

[@gillianstitches]

Your place has come together beautifully!!

[@gaildawkins9508]

At last! Really happy for you... What a trial... Next time you will be well armoured with knowledge. It's your very own sanctuary.. Great birthday present. Congratulations Eli🎉🎉🎉

[@Linda-ku4xq]

Your new flat is beautiful and perfect!! I love everything about it, especially the doors to the front yard and all the light. Wishing you many years of happiness in your new home!!

[@conniesimonich2327]

Yeah! Congrats Eli. But what a mess at first. Glad you’re getting settled in. And the best is- it’s all yours❤

[@monalilandaabel6585]

Gratulerer så mye med den flotte leiligheten. Teppet i stua er kjempefint.

[@nancyfmallen]

Yeah! Wonderful birthday present! New fridges are really important. As for the living room curtains, an option could be the level out the existing rod or leave as is and add a sheer curtain, the put the new rod above with the new curtain. Having your own place is wonderful! Congratulations!

[@suetherrien5306]

Congrats on your new home!! It’s so cozy!!! Enjoy it!!

[@SandieMitchell]

Congratulations, you own your home! Take time sorting things; you might change things around a few times before settling. I made myself nuts re-arranging my living room. You have a lovely home!🤗

[@TheAdiWeiss]

Your house is lovely! The perfect living room. And I love the plaid curtains. But then I am almost constantly in plaid pajamas.

[@susanmcfarlane6897]

Congratulations Eli! So glad it all worked out, and you're in your own cosy space. It looks great. Well done!

[@nadine6388]

Everything is beautiful! Congratulations on. your new flat!

[@laradillard9532]

Congratulations! I’m so happy you are settled into your new place. Moving is stressful and hard under the best of circumstances, which this wasn’t. I love the new rug and the curtains.

[@salomeelizabeth6026]

You've done a great job with your new abode. Nice sunshine through those glass doors..lovely. :-)

[@GrammaC]

Love your new flat. I was wondering what was happening. Everything is lovely.

[@pamelacampbell8121]

So pretty! I love your choices! Finally, you can take a deep breath and relax in your new lovely space. Good for you!

[@khewitt2873]

Very nice! Congratulations on the new flat. It's always a great mixture of exciting, frustrating and exhausting moving house. Love your curtain choices. Definitely keep the shorter bedroom draped. They look neat and tidy.

[@ursulaur757]

🎉 CONGRATULATIONS and welcome to south of the river. Live long and be happy in the new place. ❤

[@EmoryLuceBaldwin]

Happy birthday and congratulations! You found a truly lovely flat for your home, and you’ll make it more and more beautiful with time.

[@MarieAhlen]

Wow, what a great work you’ve done, and CONGRATULATIONS to your own apartment 🥳🎉🥂🌟 It’s an absolute hell to move and come in order in the new place, but you did all that in just one week 😮🎉. So be proud, and enjoy, it’s beautiful 🌟🥳🌟🥳🌟🥳🌟🥳🌟

[@rosannewysocki]

Congratulations on your new home. It's lovely!

[@carolinedubose5136]

Happy Birthday Eli!! That was a lot of juggling of movers,rugs and refrigerators!! Welcome to your new home!!!
