WHAT'S HAPPENED AT THE HOUSE | Lydia Elise Millen

[@erangil78]

You should place a large plant in the left corner of the dining room I think.

[@shelleypoole6415]

eran gil , a nice fig plant in a basket would look lovely.

[@juliefitzgerald2948]

This isn't a criticism, more of an observation. I personally think the kitchen/dining area needs some greenery, ie faux plants, especially in the corner by the window where the dining table is. It looks very bare and all a bit colourless. I get the whole neutral/60 shades of grey thing, but I think some greenery, albeit artificial or real, really brings a room some cosiness and finishes it off. There's some gorge pots around for tall plants and beautiful plant stands, the options are endless.

[@hydenh]

Also maybe a rug under the dining table?

[@juliefitzgerald2948]

@@hydenh Yes, i definitely would, its just lacking some warmth & cosiness😊

[@lolal.4298]

Yepppp It looks way too bare.

[@juliefitzgerald2948]

@@Marianna6843 But none of them seemed to make their way to the dining area🙄😂😄!!

[@lenathestrange]

Maybe also some sheer curtains to frame the windows and make the edges look about softer?

[@ellyj7040]

I love the table in the kitchen, but I feel like it makes the room look smaller then before. Definitely needs to be spruced up. Maybe curtains rather then the pull down blinds and a faux tree/plant in the corner? Or a little stand with decor

[@RadhaThompson]

Elly J that’s how I feel too!

[@hilmilblaemi]

I just don’t think the chairs fit with the floor. I always hate carpet under a table (mostly for hygiene) but I think the room NEEDS a carpet.

[@slaaay7284]

Elly J Maybe round table would be great

[@carolinaochoa7900]

@@hilmilblaemi I also find that the style of chairs isn't quite right for that space. And yes, a rug would be nice. It doesn't need to be fancy, something simple like what she has on her staircases

[@TheMichelleCopley]

RE: snug room, pull the furniture away from the walls closer to the trunk - I promise it will look better...

[@MimiEstelle]

Jadorelamode Paris I agree... and having a shadow behind furniture actually gives the illusion of a larger room. It’s a trick designers use!

[@Amacott99]

I agree.

[@ceciliaquinn5629]

I thought the exact same thing ... pulling them just couple of inches the room would look perfect and bigger!

[@frivolositygirl]

me too :)

[@Weemolie]

Agreed! It’s a common mistake people make to put their furniture against the wall but bringing the couch in closer to the trunk would be better. 👍

[@k-rae4328]

That laundry room is literally something from Pinterest that everyone wants 😭😍

[@kathydoran6176]

Lydia, you know the only people that are going to say anything about the way you are talking, are the same people that made the rude comments about getting your teeth fixed, so you just do you and if they say anything just keep that in mind. You sound fine and are rocking the Invisalign!

[@rivermckenzie4022]

Lydia please don’t find it necessary to explain yourself. You owe no one an explanation. People with a negative mentality will always be negative. You SHOULD enjoy the trips and events you are blessed to be a part of. I doubt there is one person in these comments that would not jump at the opportunities of fun and travel and any other perks, that your job offers you. Enjoy every moment you can, and make the most of each blessing. We only have one life. Love the changes to your home, your energy and the journey you take us on.

[@kimberleyh9096]

[@rivermckenzie4022]

kimberley hughes so true, I don’t know why we can’t just be happy for others

[@judithcatlett8518]

River McKenzie AMEN!

[@KrystalsKash]

Very well said. I do get jealous sometimes but that's my issue to deal with and I've never left a negative comment for Lydia to read as she is a person and works incredibly hard for what shes a part of. People rarely have the mentality to build up their own lifestyle that they want, they'd rather cut down others with the ambition to do it.

[@baycal2]

I haven't read through the comments, so apologies if someone already mentioned this. I learned from experience that cats don't like to sleep near their food or litter box, nor do they like to use their litter box near their food... They are very clean and finicky about their surroundings. The constant smell of their food while they snooze throws off their hunger response. I've read this in different areas over the years. Adorable bed, though!! I want to get one for our kitty!

[@amirahamilton8896]

Love the new dining room set up and love the cozy room!! I definitely think you need some tall plants( maybe banana leaf) or something to spruce up that area ( dining room area) and bring it all together.

[@anoukwerder6924]

Best decision ever to move the dining table to the kitchen, good job Lydia 🤩🥰

[@expatlifestyle6069]

Anouk Werder as we all know, that is the purpose of that area

[@zestrus11]

Some green plants would be so nice and an area rug under the dining table

[@judithcatlett8518]

Couple of suggestions so far. 1. Large rug under dining table; 2. Move couch and chairs off the walls and closer to the center. That will give the room a cozier look. May have more suggestions, I'm only 15 minutes in.

[@millytodd41]

Don’t take your Invisalign out to talk Lyds 😱 The lisp will get better the longer you keep them in If you keep taking them out you’ll never get used to it, trust me I’ve had my Invisalign for over a year and a half Sending lots of love 💕

[@TheBorab]

Your new dining room is to die for. I reckon you could put a little chez lounge or small arm chair in the corner. It would make it look so cozy and perfect

[@rach5516]

Lydia you work so hard on your content, the Laura Mercier trip was no exception. I would hope that after everything that has happened to Caroline Flack that people will start to be kinder on these forums. We can hope at least.

[@KatieGraham]

As a photographer, it was SO interesting seeing the BTS of the shoot! Loved this vlog!! The image of you and Lumi in the kitchen + you smiling at here was ADORABLE OH MY WOOOORD

[@thedada810]

Am I the only one who doesn't like the dinning table in the kitchen? Now the kitchen looks soooooo busy mostly because of the styling of the table (candles, plates cushions,... ) plus with the centre island it's all in the same hight, which just doesn't work at all. Besides that, it's very echoey...

[@hibsm4474]

Me 2 like the old setup more

[@chickletpudding]

Oooh maybe some bench seating behind the dinning table for breakfast coffee lounging ? I feel like there is space

[@jackandlill]

Perhaps a sisal or natural fiber type floor covering for under the dining table area would bring more warmth & a bit of greenery would finish it off nicely.

[@georgiadebono7434]

Ooooh the new camera is SO clear and crisp! But there is a lot of movement especially when you walk around, and when you’re vlogging it might get a bit hard to watch! Looooved this video ❤️😌

[@dayauppell5495]

Lydia u look so good with straight hair! U should wear it like that more often!

[@Dee038]

Hi Lydia! I enjoyed your content from Courchevel immensely and I’m so excited for my bday trip to Whistler, BC next week! Ignore the haters... you are doing an amazing job with your chanel. 😘

[@heathermichael9422]

LOVE where the new dinning room is! I did love you sitting area there because hello the view, BUT I have to say switching the two rooms really does make more sense and you really do have an amazing talent for decorating for sure! Looks beautiful!

[@erikalouwrens3992]

I was so worried about Lumi. When she was in and out of the sink and then crying I was so sure she was thirsty. Oh Lumi! And then she wanted coconut oil...

[@tatianavillagomez1378]

Rose J made me chuckle 🤭 🤣

[@faidradir6478]

What a nice vlog once again! Every time I watch you I get so motivated, so that's what I call a good "influence". Thank you for that. May I suggest, if of course you feel comfortable with that, could you do more unboxing (Like those boxes at the start of the vlog)? I learn about so many new things and brands from you that way.

[@Ashleeneej]

I just said to myself, let me see if Lydia posted a new video, and here you go. Thank you❤

[@helensmith3214]

Love the snug/whiskey room...after dinner for gents room even,!! A little bit Downtown Abbey vibe..lovely.

[@estellara14]

I have always thought that thé dining area should be in your kitchen, it is much more fonctional than before and more convivial! You Can talk to your friends while cooking and have much less distance from kitchen to dining area. Well done!

[@phoebegibson6559]

The storm is pronounced "Kiera". Ciara is the Irish spelling :-)

[@clairehawkes1112]

I like the new set up. Nice to sit together in an open airy space to eat, and the snug is good too ☺️....good job Lydia ⭐️

[@angeleyn]

The dining area looks so nice! I think I like the table there better and the bar/lounge area looks so good in that smaller room.

[@sarahblair3265]

Just for everybody's reference, storm Ciara is an Irish name and is pronounced Keera :) Irish names are awkward to read/pronounce so understandable where the mispronunciation comes from 😂

"babe. she loves her food" - the title of my memoir.

[@shartropicambassador7473]

Random observation! When you showed us your new fridge, I noticed the soya milk in the door. I just thought I'd tell you, I also used to drink soya milk and noticed I was breaking out alot and my monthly was horrendous. I read it had hormones in it so I swapped soya for almond milk. I no longer breakout, and my period is a much more calm and manageable. Love what you have done with the former dining room, it looks amazing

[@carolinaochoa7900]

This is a misconception. Soy has phytoestrogen not progesterone or androgens

[@zp9103]

Almond “milk” has no protein..

[@zp9103]

SallyAnn C oh, you are right it contains a very small amount but is not considered as a good source of protein., especially for infants and children.

[@shartropicambassador7473]

@@carolinaochoa7900 they can still bind to the same hormone receptors in the body and cause endocrine disruption. I noticed the difference in my body, Lydia has mentioned similar symptoms so I thought I would mention in case, it might help her too. Some people maybe perfectly fine with it, its trial and error I guess

I was really worried about how you’d make the old dining room a useable space (after moving all the furniture into the kitchen) and I have to say the snug idea is such a lovely space, the way it’s styled is so pleasing for me & I’m sure with time you’ll make it look even more perfect.

My aunt always had faux flowers when I was growing up and they always accumulated dust like crazy and didn’t clean well because of the texture. Does anyone know how to keep them clean? I’m a bit paranoid about dust because of my allergies but they look beautiful! I have some areas that could use some greenery but I’m really terrible at keeping real plants alive.

[@rajjie100]

The layout of the old dining room is off, put the sofa where the side board is, put sideboard where the sofa is with 2 large lamps flanking the mirror, put a armchair on the right and left of sofa, the chandalier will make sense since the room now flows. Pull the soft furniture away from the walls. If you have to get out of chair to put a drink down on the cocktail table its too far away, take a piece of wood slightly smaller in size than the trunk and put it on castors raising it a few inches off the floor, making better height for the sofa and you won't stub your toe . Furniture needs negative space around it and makes it nice for conversation. Best ! Show less

[@sonnylovesfreddy340]

honestly, if people think its so easy and not work then they should just do it themselves. if it is so easy then everyone would be an influencers. it is years and years of hard work and talent and consistency to grow and maintain an audience. Plus you have to keep yourself in shape and looking gorgeous and curate your brand and your look so that your followers get the "show" they are expecting and that makes them happy. If these trips were vacations then I'm guessing you would be makeup free and in your jammies most of the time. Who the hell wants to get dolled up every day to go skiing? If its a vacation would you really be putting on foundation and mascara and spend time faffing with your curling iron? And then taking shot after shot after shot to get a great image to share with the world? Seriously, if its so easy they should go do it.

[@jessicamalfa9538]

What an amazing shoot you did and a lot of work! I wear Invisalign too and it is a nuisance to talk but have gotten used to it. At least you can pop them out easily. I love the snug room too. So funny the end of the vlog, Babe, she loves her food! You know it!! Meow xx

Hey @Lydia if you are looking for a different option to the packaged wet food for Lumi, I would recommend trying Royal Canine food (if you haven't already). We have a Bengal and Russian Blue mix who just loved the Gourmet Perle, however, we saw marked improvements in her behaviour and physical condition after putting her on the Royal Canine and now it's the only thing we feed her. They do cat food for pure breeds too, including Bengals 😊(www.royalcanin.com/uk/cats/products/retail-products/bengal)

I cannot believe people are being negative about that stunning Laura Mercier trip! (Well actually, this is the internet so of course people are negative 🙄) The fact that it looked unbelievably glamorous is a testament to everyone’s efforts behind the scenes. Don’t listen to the hate, Lydia. In short, people are idiots. Your home is really coming together & I love the level of love & effort to you put in to every single minute detail. It’s clear how much you care and it is proved in the result. Even though, I must admit, I do find myself laughing at how roundabout you find your way to completion. I do the same in my own home so it’s both refreshing & relieving to know I’m not alone in the constant labor of love that is styling a home. The struggle is real. You look stunning (as always), lots of love from America ✌🏼
