Yes!! The hallway looks so cosy and fresh so far!! So excited for more house stuff!!!!!

[@jenvcampbell]

[@danii6633]

OMG, YES, to Alison Steadman being THE ONLY Mrs Bennett. Thank you ♥. Also, your hallway looks gorgeous now and don't paint that table! I have that paint colour in my kitchen, love it still.

[@-ParisTexas-]

I liked the video when you said that the 1995 Pride and Prejudice adaptation is the only adaptation. ;) Love it too. Really like seeing your decorating efforts. Can't wait to see how you get on in the future.

[@tillysshelf]

Be aware that if you sand that table it may turn out to be a paler wood that was stained, previous generations have had a sought obsession with trying to make all furniture look like mahogany. We had one from grandparents that turned out to be gorgeous oak once sanded and waxed. Beautiful hallway transformation and cool things to find in the attic!

[@josielacey8372]

I'd definitely like to see more videos like this! I'm moving house soon myself, so seeing you decorating is making me feel inspired.

[@jenvcampbell]

Noted! And good luck with your move. x

[@carolaustin6374]

I enjoy your book talks very much, Jen, but the home decorating was great to watch as well. That colour you chose for the hall is just so right! I would certainly be interested in seeing more of this type of content.

[@jenvcampbell]

Thank you, Carol. We're not able to do any decorating at the moment, but in the future I certainly will. x

[@natlawrence5787]

Love the hallway and your choices for mirror and shade.

[@ella5452]

Your videos have been a huge source of comfort at this time🌻thanks for making them.you’re the best and hope you're doing okay🌺💕🌺

[@beatam4845]

Congratulations Jen. Exciting to start fresh and make it your own.

[@ornleifs]

The change in the hallway was great - now it looks so elegant and inviting.

[@samk2283]

That's a beautiful colour almost like farrow and balls mizzle!

[@tammiep9628]

I really love your entryway! The color, and keeping the table the dark wood makes it look really nice. I enjoyed watching this video and looking forward to seeing more of your decorating.

[@id8842]

Looks lovely! I agree re hallway table 👍

[@sarasreadingnook]

Your new place looks wonderful! I’m looking forward to seeing all of the new additions to your home. I totally agree that when decorating a home, it’s so important to look at the space holistically rather than bit by bit.

[@jenvcampbell]

Thank you, Sara x

[@boojingleful]

One of my colleagues is in the process of buying a house and we were giggling at paint colour names during some down time, and Elephant Breath was one of my favourites too 😂 Although I'm honestly not sure if anything will ever beat Dead Salmon - who ever wants to have to tell people that their walls are covered in dead salmon?!

[@sharniephillpott9922]

I cant wait to see more home renovations. What a beautiful home :)

[@kimswhims8435]

Love the hallway colour! Yes to more decorating updates.

[@AndreaBlythe]

Your new home looks lovely o far. Happy renovating!

[@opalewing8631]

I really like the home update. And the attic finds were so cool!

[@alldbooks9165]

Love the new place! What fabulous finds in the attic! I love that ship print.

[@ohjoannabanana]

The hallway looks really nice. I love the color.

[@GinaStanyerBooks]

I love the flat, and how amazing that you have an attic! Love the hallway paint and the little wooden table. I like things a little scuffed and loved too.

[@jennyharmony1371]

I'm here for every one of your flat reno vlogs!!!! Love it!!!

[@monoculares]

Lovely video 💖 I love house renovations. It's always very heartwarming and nice to see people putting themselves in their own place.

[@laurareadspages6633]

I love the colour that you went with for the hallway! Happy decorating :)

[@DawnMarie-rb4ho]

Thank you for showing the work you're doing in your new home. I enjoy all of your videos, but these are particularly interesting to me as I contemplate DIY projects for my own place.

[@breehill9042]

Oh Jen😍 this is so lovely. I am so excited for your project new home, I know you are going to work magic with it.

[@YourTrueShelf]

Really lovely video! Love stuff like this. I've lived in my house for 2 years and haven't done too much to it due to time pressured and small children, but we started last weekend and I love how you see little things that make you happy each time you go into that room 🙂 totally agree about not buying in a rush. Lovely hallway 👍🏻👍🏻 x

[@randallisreading4561]

Loving the interiors content! The Great Indoors podcast is another great place to get decorating and styling tips!

[@erikas1696]

The new place looks great so far Jen. Love the idea of upcycling. Can't wait to see what you craft and upcycle next!

[@pinkcatreads]

What a lovely hallway! And yes please, more house renovation videos! ☺️

[@jenvcampbell]

Hurray! x

[@cosytidyhome3095]

really really enjoyed the vlog and this content!

[@Pottymoon]

Lovely lovely! The hallway is transformed and now so welcoming and relaxing. My eye is constantly drawn to that fab doughnut vase but your very most beautiful ‘ornament’ by far is......Lola! Please let’s see more of this special little soul x

[@magpie_mel]

Yes please on the decorating and house-stuff! We moved in November and it’s been lovely to slowly start making it our own. Love that hallway colour! 😊

[@magpie_mel]

Ps. The hallway vase reminds me of a polo mint...which reminds me of all kinds of lovely things from my childhood 💕

[@krissyn.3366]

I loved how the hallway turned out! It's a beautiful color!

[@jenvcampbell]

Glad you love it, too! x

[@AnitasDreams]

Congrats your hallway turned out GREAT. Love the paint color. Yes I thought a big mirror would look great on that wall even before you put the table there. The print of the ships is pretty neat. I love home decorating myself. One tip on paint colors I found is I buy a sample jar of the color or colors I am thinking about. Then I use a small roller & paint posterboards in the colors. You can then put them in your room in various places to see how your lighting affects the colors. It's all about what lightening you have. A home is curated over time. Again enjoy your new adventure.

[@alisonmacconnell5855]

I think the hallway looks really lovely, the colour is very subtle but so much nicer than magnolia! I had a bit of an intake of breath at the vase you bought from Brighton - my parents have had a very similar one as long as I can remember and they lived for a time in Germany so I'm thinking perhaps that's where they picked theirs up. So impressed that the bookcase didn't collapse 😂 Wishing you and Mr. M every happiness in your new home 😊 x

[@jenvcampbell]

Thank you, Alison, and that's really interesting about your parents' vase! x

[@Liz86000]

It looks lovely ! Félicitations !

[@VeronicasShelf]

That colour in the hallway is amazing!

[@Sherlika_Gregori]

I love your style. Great taste.

[@nannalundberg7878]

Such a lovely video! You made the hallway so beautiful, such a nice colour, and the table with the ceramics on top looks great. I would definitely love to see more house videos like this! Oh and as a dane, it was pretty cool that you found that danish poster in the attic :D

[@AilsaVlogs]

This all looks lovely! Partner & I are in the process of buying our first house, so it was great inspiration.

[@wanderingoff13]

Interior design is definitely an interesting topic, would love to watch more house renovation videos from you. Didn't want to bother you on social media, but I made leak and mushroom pie using your recipe video and it turned out delicious and looked like food from some anime. Thanks again for the recipe.

[@rachelrice9266]

I love Brighton!

[@fozzymup268]

Hello Jen. That table you found in the attic is amazing! Great find. I had a little giggle with the blusher/lens cover mistake! I hope you thoroughly enjoy decorating your new home. Best Wishes to you and Mr M, here’s to many happy times in your new home. 💕

[@jenvcampbell]

Thank you ♥️ x

[@victoriabercovitz3669]

Looks awesome :)

[@michelepastele5347]

I can tell you are 'homing in' and it looks great. The color you selected for the hallway is pretty. Love these decor videos. Sorry about all the doctors appointments - they are a drag aren't they? Thanks for another great video!

[@MaryAmongStories]

this is so lovely 🥰🥰

[@SuperBrieBear]

Relieved to see Lola. Thought you moved to Brighton and that we would not see as much of her. Also the colors you chose for the walls are much better for the space. Maybe paint the ornate hanger gold. Very curious about the interior designing courses. I really enjoyed this video. More please :)

[@carly885]

It looks lovely! I'm so excited to get my first flat to decorate but I LOVE bright colours so I'm a bit concerned that I'll take it too far 😂🌞

[@emmajane8393]

I’m late to watching but I loved the homey stuff!

[@susannacain3564]

I love these casual vlogs and your home improvements :) you have such cozy and wonderful taste! Plus I’m making your vegan spaghetti bolognese for dinner tonight 🌱🍝

[@jenvcampbell]

Hope you like it! x

[@mradcaqbdb]

I’m a big fan of paint color names also. My favorite is Chocolate Froth, which I used for the master bath. The color is a perfect taupe, but I think I would have picked it just for the name. 😂 Your hallway is lovely! I covet those super tall ceilings!

[@amyb1710]

Xo, Macenna does lovely thrift flips on her KZbin channel. Lots of inspiration for your new home. Love the colour of the hallway

[@lindacarson5429]

The colour in the hallway looks great. It must be so stressful having to move not just home stuff but work stuff too. I hope you'll be really happy in your new home.

[@jenvcampbell]

Definitely a double-edged sword. Working from home has meant I’ve been able to schedule in some painting and then work late, as I need natural light to paint, but it’s also meant it’s been difficult to work at times because everything’s been a bit all over the place. Settled in now, though ☺️

[@jocelyngordon9346]

It’s so nice you can paint your walls and really be creative in your space. In my city, most apartments won’t allow you to paint the walls or make any drastic changes to the units.

[@jenvcampbell]

They don’t here either if you’re renting, but we’ve bought this flat.

[@emilycurnow389]

You had lots of really beautiful furniture in your last home, did it have to stay with the house? My home of full of old second hand furniture. I love the history of items and how it may help to reduce waste. Also it makes your home very interesting and different to any one else's which I also love.

[@citydoll22]

Hallway looks great! I laughed so hard when you tried to put your blusher as a lens on your camera. It reminded me of when I almost put handsoap on my toothbrush instead of toothpaste hahaha ...goodmorning ;)

[@maslina4567]

Your hallway! Wow! Am enamored with your vases and mint green paint colour. And those glasses...a fabulous attic discovery. Love that vintage table, too. Beautiful, beautiful video. Congratulations on your new and very pretty flat. It looks like a very happy and cheery oasis. :) That outdoor forest clip...is that a park? I'm most at home outdoors and at the sea so am always curious about the proximity of people to nature.

All hail wonky bookcases. Hallway looks good. Slow and steady, to make a house a home. With the hallway table when you get around to sanding the paint off, if its pine paint is fine if its oak its tough to smoke. If its Ash its fine as cash. If its born of birch it belongs in church. Thank you for sharing your new place with everyone..

Congrats and would love to see more house vids! Good luck with doctors. Think of you a lot when I see one of our (MA) state reps Ayanna Pressley who recently has brought to public her alopecia story. You both are very inspiring individuals!

Stupid question from the states..I thought a "flat" was an apartment but you use that word interchangeably with house...so...you guys bought a ....? Love the entry way.

[@jenvcampbell]

It’s a flat (apartment), not a house. Though the flat is within a converted house, not a block of flats, which is probably why I sometimes use that word. If that makes sense! x
