Final Stretch of Our House Move: Exciting Finds, New Beginnings & Taking a Break (Home Update)

- This week’s vlog is all about the final stretch of our house move, and suffice to say, it’s been a mix of exhaustion and relief.
We’ve made some big strides, from getting the children’s rooms sorted to tackling those last few boxes in the garage, preparing the Shepherd’s Hut, and making a very exciting purchase from John Lewis! Our brilliant moving team has been beyond amazing and made everything so much easier. We even had a few happy surprises along the way, like finding the perfect curtains sitting in storage, just waiting for their time to shine!
We also managed to move the horses to their new home, and they’re settling in nicely. Sigh and I took a break from the chaos to have dinner in Chichester with the girls, which was a much-needed change of scenery.
Next week, I’m taking some time off to recharge and spend quality time with family. We’ve got an extended family holiday planned that I’m really looking forward to-a chance to relax and step away from the moving madness for a bit. I won’t be posting a new vlog or How-To video next week, but I’ll still be popping in on Instagram and TikTok. I’m excited to come back refreshed, with more updates on the house and some fun new plans.
As always, thanks so much for all your support-it really has meant so much and kept me going.
Love, Charlie x

I love those curtains - because thrifting de rigueur at the moment I’m seeing so many beautiful floral curtains. There so cheerful xx
Love the Sudbury colour, the first one you painted. Enjoy your week off with the family Charlie, you’ve certainly earned some rest and relaxation. X
I am suffering with bad anxiety at the moment ,but Charlie your vlogs always help me relax and feel better xxx
Hello Charlie, I have only just discovered your channel. I love it. You are down to earth, so hardworking and you have a wonderful style. Especially I like how you care for everyone in your family including your dogs and your wonderful horses. Horse and dog woman myself. Wish you health and strength for all you are doing ❤ I like the darker yellow for the toilet 😊
@@KatharinaVersteegen the hugest thank you and welcome xxx
@@ask.charlie 🥰
I'm watching this 12 days late (having had our own holiday in the meantime). I can't imagine adding the stress of vlogging to the trauma that is moving house. So glad you decided to take a break for yourself on your family holiday.
I love the Sudbury colour. It will change colour in the room when you add pictures as well. I love the idea of a busy floral or a dark wallpaper as well.
Congratulations and well done on your move. You are absolutely a Wonder Woman!
I like the darker yellow best but either are gorgeous.
Enjoy your well deserved break.
Sudbury Yellow Charlie, what a cheery colour. Hope you enjoy your holiday and look forward to your vlog next week xx
You've moved house and managed to still look glamorous....moving is such a massive stress physically and mentally....all looking fabulous already ❤
Have a lovely week - relax and recharge. As for the paint, I think it has to be the lighter one given that you have no window in that space. Well done Charlie, you’re doing an amazing job! 😊
Di is a wonderful friend! ❤❤
Have a lovely holiday.
She really is xxx
I love the Sudbury paint it’s a fabulous colour Charlie…have a great holiday and be sure to relax xxx
You’ve done amazingly it will all come together x
Have so enjoyed this week’s vlog Charlie. The newly found curtains are gorgeous -so pretty & dainty. Love the paint colours for the downstairs loo too; either would be great! Have a great holiday.xx🥰
Definitely Sudbury yellow, much more cheerful!! 🌞🌞😄
Love the lighter yellow for the cloakroom will really compliment the new flooring
Curtains are gorgeous 😍
I prefer Sudbury yellow. 😊
I’m three weeks in and still have some boxes to sort. I hope you and your family will be happy in your new home. You deserve it. I like the deeper yellow as I like the drama
I love both the yellows! The Sudbury is slightly gold also. I would put a lamp in there, and sit with the door c!osed, imagine it with pictures, and choose that way. I know, I've sat on toilet seats in windowless washrooms......it helps 😀
It’s coming together ❤
The color on the top for sure! Thanks for sharing!
How will i cope without your blog next week?! I've been going through your old ones again so that'll keep me going😂Enjoy your hols ❤
I hope you enjoy some old ones and will be back soon xx
The sudbury yellow looks better I think. A floral or other decorative wall paper on one wall may go well and might make the room more interesting and inviting
Great video! You are doing so well! The lighting in the new house is so much better! Going to shop through your Dr Jart and Seep links. Excited to see what you think about the collagen as I need to start a regime with that. I prefer the lighter yellow paint, Both are lovely x
Personally I would choose the Sudbury in a small room with no window but the India yellow is rich and more of a statement. If lots of pictures are going up I’d go for a lighter background so definitely Sudbury yellow. Well done Charlie! You are on the home straight with the house move. Xxx
Have a fabulous break ……..ALL can be sorted in time …..😊
Thank you xxx
The curtains in the snug room look beautiful
New home is looking so cosy already! ❤
Def the Sudbury paint Charlie especially if the rooms a bit dark . Also I’d like to say how well you look after all your animals - the horses / chickens and dogs - they haven’t had to take a back seat and quite rightly you have prioritised them - it takes a lot of time to tend to animals I know as we have had a lot in the past and you are doing a brilliant job 👍🏻have a well earned rest on holiday - look forward to seeing your Aga up and running ! I can’t wait for the autumn to get ours back on I miss it for so many reasons not just cooking xx
I hope you enjoy a restorative holiday. I love the Sudbury yellow, but I’m biased. The shade is named for the colour of the stairwell at Sudbury Hall. I live quite close by and had that shade in my windowless cloakroom for 20 years. 💛
I think it’s my favourite as well x
Sudbury Yellow would be my choice but I’m not very brave with colour. I know you will get the colour right. 😊
You’re in!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 And starting to bring it all together! As for paint, I’m voting for Sudbury Yellow…..for me, the other one has just a tinge of green, which might not always be welcome in a loo!! Have a fabulous holiday…..you certainly deserve this one! Xx
The Sudbury yellow has my vote. I really like your fresh haddocks picture. Fun. I have changed to thinner coat hangers (from padded) to make more wardrobe space. Have a lovely holiday. x
Hello. I am new to your channel, I have enjoyed several clips over the last couple of days. I have also have many big transitions going on in my life. Both of your homes are lovely. You requested suggestions for your color choices for the room off the laundry space (I am from America, so our descriptive words of living spaces sometimes differ from yours) but I thought you might want to consider what we call a feature wall, where the darker paint color on the one wall behind the bathroom door (beside the commode) and the other 3 walls in the lighter yellow. This would add some added dimension to the room. (Possibly the illusion as if there is more room to peer into).
I have worked with small spaces in many places myself and in some cases this can give the eye a way to see a space as something more interesting and not just small.
No 51, the lighter yellow is my favorite one. I have one yellow accent wall in my bathroom as well.
Oh Rosie I’ve missed you! Can’t wait for more Autumn and Christmas vids xx
😂 I'm half way through Polo on Spotify!! The narrator makes such a good effort with accents, I'm really enjoying it!!
Lovely video. I think the mix of pattern in your living room is great, those curtains hang beautifully for being in storage all those years. I prefer the lighter yellow paint, I think it is more buttery, and wouldn’t darken that room too much….
Oh Charlie, I LOVE JILLY! My favourites are the series of romantic novels she wrote ages ago that all have a girl' name as titles ... Bella, Octavia, Prudence, etc. I read them in my 20s and they were all laugh out loud. Class is also well worth a read. She's just so perceptive, isn't she - and funny. I will never forget her saying she wore her hair in a fringe because it was so forgiving and "I age 10 years in a high wind!" xxx
Hats off to you, Charlie & Si. The majority of the move is now complete. Wishing you much happiness in your new home 😊😊 Suze xx
Thank you so much 😊
Sudbury hello Charlie. Have a lovely holiday! X
Thanks ❤
Hello Charlie, the top paint looks nice and calm . Good luck and happiness in your new home , have a great holiday and try and relax. Xx
Thanks so much I am looking forward to it x
I think India Yellow will be lovely in the bathroom - the house is coming together beautifully 🤍
I would go with Sudbury- both lovely shades though!
Definitely the lighter colour, you can always go darker later if you change your mind! 😃🥰xx
Sudbury yellow 😊
I prefer Sudbury but I wouldn’t do either. I’d love to see a really dramatic, dark, floral wallpaper. We don’t have a downstairs loo and I wish we did purely for the decorating opportunities 😅 Enjoy your holiday, I think you deserve a break xx
The lighter one will make the bathroom look bigger, the darker one would be best in a larger area, but both are nice! We finally have a rental as well, we move Aug 31! Enjoy your vacation!
Good luck with your move xxx
From experience a bbq and a microwave will see you through until your new kitchen is complete, keep smiling 😊😊😊
So true! It will and an air fryer we have it covered xxx
Oh so clever
A great tip about wearing two pairs of socks to break new shoes in sooner. Excellent!
If anyone can do this it’s you ! Well done Charlie! I love the india yellow. I think it will be fun for the little loo. 🤗
Sudbury yellow! x
I like the darker yellow/gold for the powder room. But have you thought of papering the walls? It’s a small space and it could be unique and cozy.
Sudbury yellow I think, enjoy your break away 😘
The darker one looks great.
Go bold and go for the bottom yellow it will go perfectly with the green in the kitchen.
Both of the yellow shades are lovely. I think an impactful downstairs loo looks great, so would say India x
Charlie, a weight has definitely been lifted from your shoulders. You are doing great! Mt preference is the Indian yellow. Have a great holiday xx
House is looking lovely, have a lovely time away, also love blue and white dress new from ? ❤
Sudbury yellow 🤩
Hi Charlie .You must have great taste .😊 I painted my new kitchen White Tie by Farrow&Ball and it has a nice sheen and reflects the light well. For your bathroom , definitely go for the lighter colour (top) as you have no window .
Wonderful! Thank you so much xxx
Wow, so pleased you’re all in , it’s such a gorgeous house and you will make it all so lovely. It’s been quite a journey but more importantly I’m pleased you’re able to escape to a week, you more than deserve it, so enjoy & recharge ! And tbh I’m pleased you’re not vlogging as we too are away with no phone reception or Wi-Fi so I was a little anxious how I would tune in but now I don’t need to worry 🤣🤣 Hope you all have a fabulous holiday & with regards to paint colours….I like the first one as it’s a little brighter . Take care & thanks for sharing everything 🥰🥰
Thank you and enjoy your time away xxx
The top yellow is what I would choose, in fact I may even re paint from my rust orange colour 😂
Isn’t it a good colour xx
Hi Charlie. I prefer the Sudbury xx
Hi Charlie, so many challenges and changes but you’re getting there. Your new home will be very cosy when it’s all come together. The Sudbury Yellow would be better, even though I like the Indian Yellow. Gosh! What a high tech washer / dryer! The older style AGA finishing off bits & pieces, interesting blend of technology 😉 Have a great Family holiday, looking forward to further developments. 😊🌻
Well done for getting to the end of the main moving chaos! Have a lovely family holiday.
India yellow, darker one will look amazing x
India Yellow - I was thinking of doing our downstairs bathroom in that as it is quite daring and dramatic!
I’m not sure if you noticed but as you were talking about your son and the grasshopper there was a little light orb that came down on your left as we are watching,which would be your right side. You’re doing an amazing job with everything Charlie,don’t put too much pressure on yourself,we will still be here if you take some time to unwind more.
You beat me to it, it came back during the holiday chat ❤
@@tarasnedden806❤❤❤
I didn’t notice ❤ but thank you so much xxx
@@tarasnedden806it did x
@@ask.charlie someone is looking after you!❤
i prefer India. The house is looking stunning already, you guys have done an amazingly well. xx
I had India Yellow in my teenage bedroom - such a warm and happy colour. Did you also see Babouche by F&B? We had that in a hallway once and it was quite striking with art/photos in black frames, although it is a little darker I think. Xx
Can I ask the fabric ? Love love the curtains x
Hi Charlie, paint colours, I’m biased towards Sudbury as I nearly had it myself. I think the darker yellow might be a too dark. Also, you do know that Brewers can colour match F&B paints in their own Albany brand, much cheaper & I certainly can’t tell the difference. I am in awe of what you are doing, you put me to shame. I hope you have an amazing holiday & relaxation. Now breathe xxx
My decorator definitely prefers Albany, says Farrow and Ball needs too many coats!!💛💛
Great vlog - well done with the progress made. The new house will soon feel like home and the work and stress of the move fade into the background. You say the loo is dark so I think I would embrace the darkness and go with the second colour - but they are both lovely. PS, where is your white long sleeved Tee shirt from? I'm always looking for one like that - with a sort of line look. Happy holidays,
How long is your lease on this new property please? Amazing you are soo positivr😊
We are hoping to be here a good while
Normally, I would say go with a lighter color in a room with little light/no windows, but I don't know. There is something about the darker color that is rich/nice. Hmmm.
Sudsburry yellow, the lighter one( excuse the spelling, not sure of the exact name)
I prefer Sudbury yellow
You are amazing.
Where will you keep the horses?
Hopefully the stables will come!
I don’t I’ve ever heard anyone make a plural out of John Lewis! 😂😂. Sounded funny when you said John Lewis’s! It’s just John Lewis I think. I’m lazy and just call it JL 😂
Isn’t it a compact? Not a compound!
The lighter yellow is the better colour although I don’t know I’d want to do all 4 walls in it 😬, it’s an okay shade but a bit sickly coloured for me, I’d maybe do a feature wall of it but couldn’t cope with the whole room.
If we're being that pedantic!...She hasn't made a plural. She's made it possessive. As in, "John Lewis's store." Just as you might say Tesco's, rather than Tesco. It's quite usual. Plurals don't have possessive apostrophes as you've written. Eg. shops, not 'shop's'
India 😎
51🎉
How do you keep your arms slender and toned please?
Lots of work, mucking out, gardening, cleaning and I use hand weights xx
You look like you have lost weight
Not much! Xx
Oh what a fuss ---I'm a military wife who moves every 2 years to an unknown destination with short notice AND has to do " a march out " an inspection and fines if NOT up to their standard !!!!!
Yes, but Charlie hasn’t been at her home for 2 years, it’s much harder when you have accumulated stuff over the years, if you move every two years I think it must be easier .
Well next time I need your help! 17 years this has been our home and I thought we would be there forever! So not used to moving 😂
@@patriciawheeler2480 The answer is NO
Mimi, I am very surprised you are ACTUALLY married !!!!!
Mimi, we don't talk to Charlie like that.
