For your keepsakes shelf, I just want to say your career is something to be really proud of and you should totally keep these things on display! You deserve a dedicated office space if you can find one and I really think it would be nice to keep these things on display to remind you how hard you've worked and how much you've achieved. You're a boss, don't forget it!

[@meglouise101]

I definitely agree, she has achieved soo much throughout her career. It would be nice for her to keep her display show it off in pride 😊

[@Kazamataz11]

I came here to find this exact comment! Fleur you’re many things, a mother, a wife but never lose sight of you!

[@jennys.945]

That rug gave the room such a lift!!!!

[@HermioneOnABike]

Actually I think you should totally keep your awards on display! And the fact that they are in River's playroom is just right! She can look up to them and remember that her mum is a super boss! 😎

[@duinsophie]

Oh no! Don't paint the wood, it's so beautiful as it is! I'd just refurbish it with a good clean, sand and neutral wax. It has a wonderful old charm to it 😊

[@debnew6195]

I feel the same, those cupboards are Devine!!! ❤️🇦🇺

[@balletxxflats]

ah fleur, don't change the cabinets too much - love the rustic vibe of em!

[@TiffanyCalverley]

I involuntarily said aloud “the signed wonderstruck perfume!!!” when I saw it perched on the shelf haha. I remember you getting that and saying it would always have a place of pride

[@machshau87]

Don't paint the cabinets, they're beautiful! If anything, give them a sand and restain them. The wood is too pretty to be covered up by paint!

[@amandapillay7405]

Love the way River plays with her " babies". So sweet.

[@rebekahkerr1723]

I love this content! When we are gifted large toys I rotate them. Mostly because we live in a small home so there is no space for a separate toy room. I keep out a basket of toys for her room and a larger item then pack up other things in the garage and rotate them every once in awhile. It helps to keep things fresh and less to organize/tidy up!

[@jennifererb8565]

Such a cute space for River! It always feels so good to tidy out a room and get organized 😊 So excited for the gift guides coming up... Christmas!!

[@charleneedwards9386]

River is such a lucky girl to have you as her mumma😭

[@jules.sbro8]

Aw my daughter used to collect those Beanie babies, love that you've kept them, really enjoyable watching the transformation, good job 👌🥰🧡

[@aliciahanneke]

Love the wooden cabinets! I wouldn't paint them if I were you.

[@Pixiwoot78]

You are GLOWING whatever you are doing is working so well...please update us with ur night routines...the good old reviews.🥰 you introduced to me ordinary and i cant stop using them for 3yrs now

[@tarak75]

I know all my beanie baby names too!! Hehe you pack them away but they still have a little spot in your heart hahaha

[@MrsNanu86]

YES to painting the wooden cabinets! 💛

Absolutely loving your content lately!

What a lucky little girl! Love the video Fleur x

Loving the Mum de Force content !! :)

[@donnanancekivell9430]

The room is so nice Fleur, I would hate to see all that lovely wood painted, the rug is perfect......you did a great job. .....And you should keep all your special awards and memories out....you worked hard for them and this is your office as well..............Donna in Toronto

[@machshau87]

As for the sliding doors. Try rubbing some wax on the sliding hardware, that should make things a bit easier to open and close.

[@allysonanne6932]

Watching this while packing my bathroom up for my move next weeks is keeping me going!!!

i binged watched that whole show in 1 night, its so satisfying 💗💗

[@sharonmaire]

I love this room ♥️ it’s such a beautiful space and the perfect size for a playroom!

[@sharonmaire]

And for the love of all things holy and good, please don’t paint all that gorgeous wood! Just a nice sand and neutral wax and restore it back to its glory! It’s so beautiful!

[@MissToDo]

This used to be my office. At here: It used to be my House 😝

[@hollymxxx5798]

I just saw this video pop up and it made me SO happy! Adore your vlogs and videos Fleur!

[@racheyroo09]

OMG Mike with River is so so cute.

[@jkrasblog]

No pic of when you met Taylor Swift on the shelf ??!

[@MissToDo]

Thought the same

[@eternallyhiz]

Wow Fleur what a fantastic job you did! Thanks for sharing it was very inspiring and practical. You have a beautiful little family ❤️

[@Joysteib]

Great little set up for River. It's really cute and organized. Thanks for sharing with us. #playroom

[@katherinephx.7623]

Love these kind of vlogs. Very inspiring. I love the raw wood too. Have a great week. Blessed Be from Phoenix AZ. 💖🐱🌵😎

[@agatahuntley9600]

This room is gorgeous, the storage space is lovely! And I love the rough floor. The messy before is hilarious 😂 we have boxes of rubbish my little one likes to play with set up in every room 😂

[@Lana-ld8vo]

Love the space you've created for River! I agree, the cabinets are otherwise beautiful but for functionality may need a little touch up. Now I want to brainstorm what can be organized in my home :)

[@ellieboa]

ooh the home edit also inspired me to reorganise my apartment!

[@SSDGM26.2]

I have lots of "used to be my....(insert item/space here)" as well! Four dogs later, I'm going to say they own the house! I can't imagine adding a perfect kiddo to the mix! No worries, I prefer the "lived- in" look anyway!

[@elizabethgraul5475]

Love your fashion sense. Loved everything you tried on especially the plaid lumber jacket. I think you should keep it!

[@jennynovy8197]

At 31 years old - I am still so conditioned that the mere mention of a beanie baby tag been pulled off brings me out in a cold sweat 😂🤣

[@cperi2583]

It looks great!!

[@anasam2258]

Ahh, you seem to be very sentimental. If so, I can relate. I like this space, seems homey and rustic. And the cabinets are wabi sabi😉

[@paisleypeach44]

Great job, Fleur!

[@KjungrlOR]

I am fascinated by older homes. What was the original purpose of that room?

[@LauraMarquardt3]

@@dunlopje you're right :) fleur mentioned it in an old video when she set up her office

[@duncanfinch8221]

If you paint the cupboards then French chic paint is fantastic you can't really go wrong .. I love your room , a wing back chair in there would be really cool to sit and read together or for when your watching her play will be especially useful when you get your little rainbow so you can sit and snuggle and still spend time in there with river x Ashlee x

[@xOxbabies1]

I love your vlogs! 😁❤

[@ellieroberts3291]

Such beautiful cupboards - although I love painting furniture, I think in this case it would be lovely just to give these a little tlc and a bit of wax to cheer them up a bit! I am always amazed at the amount of toys children have, but feel they can never have too many books. The rug really anchors the space, and gives a cosy vibe on top of the characterful floorboards.

[@KDWOO85]

Her hair is gorgeous 😍

[@beangirl1389]

I love the wood color. Also the Britney comment killed me haha 😂😂😂

[@jasminer7623]

You should get a totter and tumble play mat in there, they are memory foam, wipe clean and really lovely rug designs , definitely our best play room buy.

[@daniellewiker9032]

Love it!!!

[@Bananachan289]

Your make up and skin looks incredible!

[@peiwee108]

please do a beanie baby video, it would be so lovely to see them as a nostalgia trip for me!

[@FleurDeForce]

😂😂

[@karenlaw8689]

I would not change them. Try some bees wax on the runners of the cabinets. Might make things smoother opening. 🥰

[@Foodielaura]

Ahh label maker bliss. Time well spent

[@tbekhful]

Love you videos Fleur! Makes me just want to move to England and live on the country side!

[@BeautywithMichelle]

Please make more day in life or week in your life vlogs! Love those!

[@SarahCuthbert60]

Omg I had a Halo! 🤣 That really takes me back haha!

[@thegirlinspired]

I love declutter videos! And I love that the rooms a little bit beaten up, gives it character. Will you be doing a gift ideas for kids video?

[@julespyrite]

Looks great, the rug really helps liven the space up and I agree you should wait to redo the room till river is a bit older and won't just destroy it. Can you do an updated perfume collection vid and an antique/vintage jewellery collection vid please

[@acgall]

The beanie babies! I have the same reaction when my daughter plays with mine. My daughter is only about a month older than yours. 😊

[@shivolove]

Love your videos ❤️

[@mauranoonan8951]

I’m in the middle of decluttering all of my beauty/ makeup and I’m almost regretting even starting 😂

[@niiidddhhhiii]

omg I would still love a signed copy of your books 😅You were doing a meet up in SF like 4-5ish years ago and I so wanted to come, but I had just started a new job and couldn't get the time off 😭It's so interesting as a long time viewer to see how this room has changed over the years

[@SixMinutesForMe]

I watched the entire show in one weekend and went on a cleaning and sorting spree that week 🤣

[@keithbates598]

River's play room looks so cute, lucky girl. See Dog 🐕 Bingo sweet! Joan Bates

[@geyj1]

What a beautiful room. This way, River will enjoy her toys even more. Where are her books? I bet they're in her bedroom :). All River needs for the costume is a pair of angel wings as she is so angelic

[@FleurDeForce]

Haha yes - her books are all stored in her bedroom cupboard at the moment... another thing she has SO many off due to having older cousins! ❤️

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

Thank you for the video!

[@lizdavis2764]

what did you decide to do with the desk that was in there? I imagine you're creating another office somewhere since this seems to be totally a play room now?

[@user-wv3jg2te3q]

this makes me want to sort my kids’ playroom out lol. There are sooooo many toys. I just don’t know what to do with them. No point getting rid of them as I have a 3 month old who will just get them re gifted as she grows up LOL.

[@michellejones4522]

Where is the magnetic drawer from? I'm looking for one that size for my little boy x

Candle wax rubbed on the runners will help the wardrobe draws run more smoothly

[@justycethibault5375]

where did your parents get the play kitchen? i’ve been looking for one that’s like that i’m not unto the little tikes plastic ones

[@hollyparsons3290]

Apparently Ikea one is amazing! Also Asda do some wooden ones! I’m getting one for my twins for Xmas I’m not a kids kitchen freak 🙃

[@FleurDeForce]

I think this one was from wayfair!

[@purpledragonfly4]

I'd get the floor sanded and re-finisned and totally get all cabinets painted white. Would brighten and open up the room so much! Add some cute curtains too.

[@EmilyBltz]

I love these home Vlogs- can anyone tell me where the rug is from I think Fleur said Homesense?

[@alexandrah3104]

Love the carpet! By the way you should check out the Galaxy print collection from Stefania Vaidani, when I saw it i thought about you right away!

[@hollyparsons3290]

Where is the rug from? So lovely xx (only 7 mins in so sorry if it’s mentioned later) xx

[@riccismith8648]

I loved this video. I have those old door what I did to make mine open easier is to take a bar of soap and run it back and fourth on the metal runners and mine open perfectly now

[@FleurDeForce]

Oooh that’s a good tip for the mean time, thanks! Been looking for someone to restore these and another set in my house for a while now but keep being let down by tradesmen :(

[@minimalist_romantic]

It’s incredible how many people have been inspired by the home edit! I’m a huge fan too! It actually gave me a kick to finally start my own professional organising business 🥳 I’m on ig @ joy_of_organised Play room turned out great, well done!! I suggest making picture labels ( on containers that are freely accessible ) for children that can’t read yet so they can find and put things away easily . Rug definitely made it more homely and probably nicer for Riv to sit on too. Xxx

[@meglouise101]

I don't think you should paint the wooden cabinets. They are lovely as they are?

The wooden cabinets are so beautiful! I hope you don’t paint them. Love the rug as well! I think it’s lovely for River to be able to see all your awards and keepsakes.

[@Glenonica1]

You seem to have a big house, surely you have another room available for either her playroom or your office. Keep it rustic it beautiful the way it is.

[@FleurDeForce]

There’s not really another place that would work for all her toys, this is right across from the kitchen so it’s the perfect room to use as a playroom :)

[@Stephaniemcv15]

If you run some candle wax on the runners of the doors they will open and close more smoothly 😊

[@jennifermaness2451]

What did that room used to be? Why the sink?

[@pallavibaliarora3665]

Loved the clean up. Need to do the same for my kids. Just a suggestion- You could get some curtains to make it a little more decorative- some ghingam would be lovely and gender neutralS

[@FleurDeForce]

There’s not really space for curtains the way the windows are designed, they have old fashioned wooden shutters and I wouldn’t want to cover them up!

[@alicerosfield3409]

As a doll expert can you reccommend a good all round doll for a one year old that will last but that isn't really creepy?! I don't want it to make any noise or wee or anything. Hoping to get our little girl one for Christmas as she absolutely LOVES babies but currently hasn't got an actual doll. Thanks so much in advance! x

[@FleurDeForce]

I always prefer the ones with a soft body and plastic face rather than the all plastic ones. To be honest, she either picks them herself or we’ve gotten hand me downs - so can’t really recommend a specific one! They always have a good selection in TK Maxx! X

[@alicerosfield3409]

@@FleurDeForce thanks so much for taking the time to reply. TK max is a great shout. I don't know why I think she will go for what I choose anyway?! No doubt she will pick the most hideously creepy, pink monstrosity that I hate but that won't leave her side. x

Cracks me up so much with people say 21 months or 22 months etc 🤣🤣 The kid is almost 2 🤣 xx

[@Mandi_Hui]

I prefer small toys where you can store them away as they grow older. Big toys take up so much space which i always tell my family no big toys. Also prefer essentials things like clothes and things they have use of. I have a kitchen, mini car and a motor bike all from relatives. Mike is so skinny i wish i had slim legs whats your secret in getting them ☺️ This lockdown has made us eat more and less exercise really need to get back being fit.
