Best of luck with the move. Just a suggestion for the new garden, maybe try putting in some native plants that flower at different times of the year to support your local pollinator population.
Oh so happy for you and your husband! You can “blab” all you want it’s your channel and I enjoy it! You helped me achieve my Austen inspired look. Totally happy I found you, Loepsie❤️
This is so exciting! Word to the wise, if you're doing renovations before moving, work on staying calm and don't be too attached to a moving-in date. Renos always delay, and that's normal! Don't put too much pressure on getting it done by a certain date, try to enjoy the process and keep in mind that it's better done well than quickly! When I last moved, we sold our place in January, were out of there within the month, didn't close on the new place until March, only got the keys in May, and were only able to move in in August. Looking back now, I'm so happy we didn't rush things and had enough time to make everything perfect (or as perfect as could be). Wish you all the best in your new adventure, and I'm excited for the moving vlogs!
I feel the same way about the TV! I have a projector that I’ve been taking from apartment to apartment and have honestly just used a blank wall (my walls have been white so it worked beautifully). It’s such a wonderful addition for those cozy nights with friends when we want to watch a movie or have a video game night!
Please consider a "natural" garden with lots of native plants. It is so important for bees and insects. Check which flowers are useful! There are a lot with no nectar or pollen, or flowers where the insects can not access. Every 1m2 counts! And native plants can look exactly as good as all the (invasive?)Neophytes!
The projector idea is definitely doable, my parents have a huge projector screen on one wall and the projector unit just sits basically directly underneath it on their cabinet. It's pretty cool!
I don't even know you but I'm so happy for you. I've heard you talk about how much you wanted more space and how hard the housing market has been for you. Seeing you finally get a house is such a thrill for this total stranger on the other side of the world. Congratulations and good luck with the move!
Honestly you don't even need a projector screen, you just need a blank wall, and projectors themselves come in a range of prices but you can get ones pretty affordable. You will need to buy a speaker too though, that's something I didn't think of until I tried to use my projector the first time and there was no sound lol!
A big tip for new homeowners is to designate a place and a binder for your home's information. You can place all the appliance paperwork, warranties, diagrams, copies of the insurance and title paperwork and any photos of wall interiors. When you reno a bath - place wood behind your wall board or plaster so that towel bars or any other hangers are securely fastened to the wall.
Congratulations!!! I have the same thing about TVs being the focal point of a living room. Our solution was also to have a short throw projector which you can position closely to the wall and we use it on an off white wall - it works really well instead of a pull down screen. In our old place it just sat on top of a side board but in our new home we have suspended it from the ceiling. I am half dutch and the terraced homes you showed make me very nostalgic to visiting my family as a child, they're such lovely homes! x
Advice from someone who became a homeowner just a year ago: the moving, the renovations, the finances, everything can feel so overwhelming and hopeless at times. Just take one step at a time and believe, that all will be fine eventually, because it will! When it comes to getting workers to do the renovations, try to contact multiple people and get multiple quotations, not only to get the best price but also you can choose who do you trust and if one of them disappears right before they would need to start the job, you have the option to call the other one. (Yes, speaking from experience!) Oh and I am absolutely sure that you will love gardening! So excited to see all the moving and home iprovements videos.
I am so happy for you and Robbert! This is going to be such an amazing new adventure for the two of you. I remember the process of going from an apartment to a house. Keep an open mind with all things and be flexible. I hope everything goes well for you! I cannot wait to see all the moving, renovating and decorating content on you channel. I am so excited! I love your ideas for decor. They sound a lot like my own. Antiques meet Ikea furniture is exactly what I have. I think of it as cottage-chic-ecclectic. I think you might be inspiring me to add something fresh to my own home or move things around a little.
My big moving tip is to grab a little notebook dedicated to logging your packing. Number every single box/container that you move - apply it on a piece of tape if you want to remove it later. Then list the basic contents for that number in your book. When you store containers, place the numbers on the visible end. This allows you to find what you are looking for or to ask someone to retrieve a box. Also helps to take a photo of the box half filled!
Congratulations! Home ownership is…fun. While it’s great to have your own space, just remember that home ownership comes with its own set of issues, and some of those issues can be costly. And renovation costs can add up very quickly. You never know what you’ll find when you start tearing down walls and ripping up floors (as examples) :/ Just some things to remember :) Hopefully the previous owners maintained their appliances and everything follows code.
Congrats on the house! The morgage part IS truly scary but once you have it all figured out and signed it just kind of ...is.... (It's like paying rent only that you own the whole thing in the end...). With the garden take some time! You are lucky to move in when everything is green and lush so you can see what is going on, what you like and what you dislike before you change things. Also talk to the neighbours and don't forget to get all the important tipps from the previous owners (not only for the garden). All of those tips can be extremely helpful (and things you might not have thought about). And don't fret the decoration part. We've been in the new house for half a year now and I am still getting the feel of most rooms (and waiting for kitchen reno to be done) before really buckling down on how I want rooms to look, feel and be functioning. It all just takes time... Have fun and good luck! Looking forward to the moving and house vlogs.
You should look into container gardens for vegetables; you can grow tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumbers (and more) in 5 gallon buckets that don’t take up too much space. I did this on my balcony back in the day when I didn’t have much outdoor space, and it was great!
We have lived in 4 new homes. 3 were older. My husband has worked in the housing industry for years. I have one very important tip for you, when finding a contractor, ask around. Friends, family who have actually had a contractor. We have seen inexperienced friends who hired a contractor and it has been a negative experience. Here in Washington State you can get a license to build without any experience. So roofs being installed wrong creates BIG trouble. Work being done shoddy has been a real problem then trying to get them back in to fix it almost impossible. Having an excellant reputation or track record here is the only way of knowing what your getting. Hope this is helpful!
Plan on things getting frustrating and overwhelming, but one step at a time, one day at a time. The chaos can take time but is temporary. Just enjoy the journey and enjoy your new home. 💙
So very excited for you two! I am really looking forward to seeing what you do with your new home and how you decorate it. And... to have a dedicated room for sewing and decorated the way you want it, totally completes the dream home! Congratulations!
So thrilled for you!! I think that the decorating style that you are going for is "transitional". Just do what you love and do not be surprised if you change your mind during the process. Enjoy it!
Congratulations. Your new home sounds fabulous. _Small suggestion for the Vegetable Garden_ - Use your front lawn. You can arrange the beds so that they form into a little path that leads to a bench or an Elizabethan herb-knot garden (if you want to get fancy you could make it a pebble pathway). Vining plants like cucumber can be trained up trellises. Intersperse the vegetables with permanent flowering plants like roses, hypanthia and a flowering bush (like a lilac - sorry, not sure what grows in your region). That way you can get a good rotation on the vegetables and still have plantings in the winter. It's a great excuse to talk to the neighbours and leaves the backyard free to do with what you need. - Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown/Pimisi
I’m so excited for you two! I’ve been watching your channel since the fringe and sock bun days, and it feels as if I’ve grown up with you. My husband and I are starting our own house hunting. Look forward to seeing all your future videos!
I am so excited for the moving and new house videos. Some of my favorite RUclipsrs have moved to new houses recently and I love to see how they furnish and utilize the new space. I really like it when creators show what is really going on in their lives because they are changing and growing like everyone does.
I have a very small yard and grow all our veggies as well as fruit trees and a TON of flowers. It's very possible. The English excel at micro gardens. I have all the herbs and grow most of our salad greens. I have persimmons, and raspberries, and several trees. I use tubs and raised beds and plant very densely. I don't have the sideways rain like you all do, but I do live with a LOT of rain and dark and my plants do fine. You'll get addicted. It's a lot of work, but so is going to the gym!
What we did in our house was install bifold doors into the garden and for blinds we got an automatic blackout roller blind which was black on the outside view but white on the inside and when we watch a movie the blind is the screen. The only thing I would say is that you cannot use a projector in the daylight so might not work if it’s going to be your only TV set up.
Loepsie, voordat je een moestuin gaat plannen, is het in de randstad verstandig eerst te checken hoe de grondverontreiniging is in je buurt. Er kunnen zware metalen in je tuingrond zitten, die het eten van je zelfgegroeide groente en fruit heel ongezond maken. Wij hier in Delft hebben bijvoorbeeld behoorlijk wat lood in de grond, dus alle eetbare dingen zitten in potten! Veel succes met verhuizen!!!!
you could use pallet collars to grow vegetables in, not as much as when you have more space but it should be enough for the two of you and that should fit in your garden.
I am so happy for you! I love how you're describing your style and the vibe of the new house! 😄 After moving two years ago, I've come to the conclusion that my style is industrial farmhouse. I like the cosy, cottage-y feel, but I like to add a lot of black metal accents to give it a modern touch and make it feel a little less old-timey. I didn't know 'industrial farmhouse' was a thing, but Pinterest says it is, so who am I to disagree with that? 😄
Losing pets is so hard. It's been over a year since I lost my channel's namesake and it still upsets me. And adjusting to my new bunny was so hard I thought I'd made a mistake getting him. Good luck with the move, I hope the actual moving goes as boring as possible and that your renos are similarly not exciting.
the projector instead of a tv is life changing. I'm in a studio apt and have no place for a tv but when I got my projector it made movie nights a regular occurrence. I just project on a blank wall (take off the wall hanging first) and they are not more expensive than a tv at all!
Such exciting news! Looking forward to seeing the new place and seeing how things progress in the new home. As far as veggies; you can grow a few things in pots just to get started without having to have a dedicated garden plot. So happy for you guys!
When you move in have an essentials box with you. Toilet paper, tea, coffee, mugs, kettle etc. All your charging cables, light bulbs, toiletries, towels and anything else important to you. Next, very important, set up and make up your bed . Before anything else. At the end of a long day, that always goes on longer than you think it will, being able to just fall into bed is magic. Enjoy your move, expect squabbles, be kind to each other, good luck and good fortune
A tip...take time with your garden. Grow it slowly...do not just go and buy a bunch of random plant life. There are lots of garden ideas on pinterest, that are very helpful. That way you will not waste money. And your garden can be the vision your dreaming of. Instead of a mismatch of plants. Above all have fun with your everything in this move. You will have to get used to all the extra room. After living in a 1 bedroom apartment. I am so excited for you both.💖 Blessing and good wishes on your new home. Can't say I'm happy for you enough😄😆🎉🌳🌱🌸🌹🌷🌼🌻🍃
Congratulations on the house. I'm so exited for you! You can definitely garden in little space. I grow herbs and vegetables (on a small scale of course) in pots on my balcony and I love it. I have peppers, chilli's, tomatoes, green beans, celery, rocket and different herbs. It is great to just get some things for dinner. Don't be intimidated. Just start out small. And do get the projector! I have one (bought a budget one years ago and it still works fine) and I project on a blank white wall (no special paint, just white latex) and it's the best. I agree it is not the vibe to centre a living room around a tv. Can't wait for the house tour and renovation content.
For growing vegetables in small spaces, you can get vertical container systems, or grow some veggies up trellises or arches to make more efficient use of space - though it definitely sounds smart to wait until next year so you've got some things cleared off your plate.
This sounds so exciting! The tiny dutch home is a whole vibe. :) About the projector: I can only project what I would do, and that is always leaving the screen and the projector up out of laziness and you will end up with the same issue as before. Maybe a projector under the ceiling and maybe just a white, undecorated piece of wall?
So happy and excited for you and Robert as a young couple moving into your first house. I'm sure you will turn it into a beautiful comfortable home! 🏠🌟🥰
My partner & I both work from home on content creation - we were in an apartment for years but we moved to a house last year, and it is SO SO MUCH BETTER for work/life balance. I'm so excited for you to be able to relax more easily and enjoy proper time off! It is THE BEST.
Projectors are the way to go! I have that in my house, projector and screen are mounted on the ceiling, the screen pulls down over my wall of bookshelves.
i can't believe i've been watching your videos for over 5 years now (and through several account changes for me) and now you're married and you own a home and it's just so wonderful to see you grow 😍
My family had a projector instead of a tv for years! My dad bought it for presentations for his business, and of course we had to utilize it too!😂 It was so nice! Especially since we are a family of twelve and a regular tv screen made it hard for all of us to see well!
I'm so happy for you Lucy🌼🌷 I also dislike when the tv is the focus point in the room! 2 years ago my partner got an LG projector that requires to stay only 20 cm away from the wall and we used it a lot ever since, especially when we want to watch a movie like lotr or a show with friends over :)
For a vegetable garden, maybe container gardening would work for you. A few large pots filled with whatever herbs and veggies you want will actually get you quite a bit of food. Herbs and salad greens do particularly well in containers.
congrats to you and Robert! So from a wife/mom whose moved about 9 times, realize that making decisions is the part of the process that will get tiresome... It's a lot of mental load. As far as a garden goes, you might like Shaye Elliot on youtube. She has a great sense of beauty and balance and creates lovely spaces. It takes time though. However, I find weeding to be therapeutic, as long as you like your own company, sunshine and dirt.
Congrats on the house purchase! I really like your idea with the projector. Since moving last year we also no longer have a tv in our home, for the same reason you mentioned. However, I was wandering how we could still have an occational movie night with friends, if the need ever arises. I think I'll implement your idea :)
You could definitely go small scale with a veggie garden, maybe a cherry tomato plant, a pepper plant, some snap peas, a cucumber bush, you don't need a whole lot of space for one or two of them.
Congratulations! I'm not used to writing comments, but you look so happy and excited that it is inspiring. I'm very looking forward for your house content 😊
Standard Dutch home... My friends area, had a row of houses that when it was window cleaning day, you could see right through 3 houses and out to the cow fields... It was weird.
Congratulations! I know how exciting it is to get your dream house and dream gardening space, & I am so happy for you. Looking forward to all the moving / house / decorating content, too.
I absolutely love how happy you are about the new house. And I completely understand that you want to move as quickly as possible. So excited to see all the upcoming videos on your channel!
Can’t wait for house content!! Your style of antiques and Scandinavian in a blender really sounds like my own style so I can’t wait to see how you express that. I always get inspo that way!
Hey Lucy, I m so happy i was with u when u were living in one room your college time home then u both shifted to this pretty home i still remember how exited u were about moving in this current home, and same excitement i am seeing again congratulations and all the best
I like that you included pictures for reference on the house style and decor that you mentioned. I'm not familiar at all with what houses in the Netherlands look like, so having some images as you describe things is very helpful! Good luck in the month of June and looking forward to all the house content!! 🏠
Squeeealllll!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited for you! Veggies can happen this summer; large pots are all you need. I did this with cucumbers, tomatoes, and lettuce. I can't wait to see the big move! Have a great weekend, xoxo's Sandie
I’m so excited and happy for you!! I am going through very similar situation. Moving next week into house with land after living in tiny apartment for years. I am so excited we r going through same thing at same time and can’t WAIT to see all ur moving content!! 💛💛
How exciting! Congrats too! Do you have any community/nighborhood gardens in your area? That could be a way to grow your own veggies and all. Just wondering. I have a pretty nice little yard, I had intentions of gardening but I just don't have a green thumb :( There's a city garden but I can't always visit it.
So happy for you! I cant help but wonder where you found a place, since the housing market is so high strung. Your plans on decorating sound super interesting and cant wait to see what you do. We have a projector in the livingroom instead of a tv, and its amazing i love it. The projector we bought on aliexpress and the costumer service was amazing (even after years they were responsive and helpful). It is coupled to a me-box. The screen we use is an ikea curtain, so it is a window by day and a tv by night. I think the style of kitchen is modern farmhouse?
Maybe I missed it but I am really curious in what village you are going to live, if you want to share of course, no pressure! My husband and I also bought a house outside of Amsterdam (Weesp) and I can't wait to move in. I also intend to make a sewing/knitting/crafting space in the attic and I am also very into the cottagecore and vintage aesthetic (the coincedence), so I am really looking forward to see your video's on that! Goodluck with moving next week! :)

We just bought a house, 1925, beyond excited to be moving in June 20th
I have a very small yard and grow all our veggies as well as fruit trees and a TON of flowers. It's very possible. The English excel at micro gardens. I have all the herbs and grow most of our salad greens. I have persimmons, and raspberries, and several trees. I use tubs and raised beds and plant very densely.

You will have to get used to all the extra room. After living in a 1 bedroom apartment. I am so excited for you both.💖 Blessing and good wishes on your new home. Can't say I'm happy for you enough😄😆🎉🌳🌱🌸🌹🌷🌼🌻🍃
Congratulations on the house. I'm so exited for you!
You can definitely garden in little space. I grow herbs and vegetables (on a small scale of course) in pots on my balcony and I love it. I have peppers, chilli's, tomatoes, green beans, celery, rocket and different herbs. It is great to just get some things for dinner. Don't be intimidated. Just start out small.
And do get the projector! I have one (bought a budget one years ago and it still works fine) and I project on a blank white wall (no special paint, just white latex) and it's the best. I agree it is not the vibe to centre a living room around a tv.
Can't wait for the house tour and renovation content.
For growing vegetables in small spaces, you can get vertical container systems, or grow some veggies up trellises or arches to make more efficient use of space - though it definitely sounds smart to wait until next year so you've got some things cleared off your plate.
This sounds so exciting! The tiny dutch home is a whole vibe. :)
About the projector: I can only project what I would do, and that is always leaving the screen and the projector up out of laziness and you will end up with the same issue as before. Maybe a projector under the ceiling and maybe just a white, undecorated piece of wall?
Try companion planting. It saves spaces and repels pests naturally. Hope this helps!
As someone who also lives in the Netherlands a red current bush ribus rebrum might be a good choice for your garden.
Your excitement is contagious, I'm honestly feeling happy for you! Best wishes for whole new home experience
So happy and excited for you and Robert as a young couple moving into your first house. I'm sure you will turn it into a beautiful comfortable home! 🏠🌟🥰
My partner & I both work from home on content creation - we were in an apartment for years but we moved to a house last year, and it is SO SO MUCH BETTER for work/life balance. I'm so excited for you to be able to relax more easily and enjoy proper time off! It is THE BEST.
Congratulations! I can’t wait to see you adding your own little touches to your new home!
Projectors are the way to go! I have that in my house, projector and screen are mounted on the ceiling, the screen pulls down over my wall of bookshelves.
i can't believe i've been watching your videos for over 5 years now (and through several account changes for me) and now you're married and you own a home and it's just so wonderful to see you grow 😍
I'm so happy for you! You deserve this, you worked really hard for this and I can't wait to see what you do with the home :)
My family had a projector instead of a tv for years! My dad bought it for presentations for his business, and of course we had to utilize it too!😂 It was so nice! Especially since we are a family of twelve and a regular tv screen made it hard for all of us to see well!
I'm so happy for you Lucy🌼🌷 I also dislike when the tv is the focus point in the room! 2 years ago my partner got an LG projector that requires to stay only 20 cm away from the wall and we used it a lot ever since, especially when we want to watch a movie like lotr or a show with friends over :)
Congratulations on the house,I'm so happy for you both, just remember the old saying new house=new baby!!! Be careful I have seen it happen.💖
A french potager garden in the front maybe? It's a beautiful decorative way to grow vegi's/herbs and flowers together.
My daughter bought a house in January she loves it congrats
Exciting
Dream as big as you can about your sewing attic. Can't wait to see what you do!
For a vegetable garden, maybe container gardening would work for you. A few large pots filled with whatever herbs and veggies you want will actually get you quite a bit of food. Herbs and salad greens do particularly well in containers.
congrats to you and Robert! So from a wife/mom whose moved about 9 times, realize that making decisions is the part of the process that will get tiresome... It's a lot of mental load. As far as a garden goes, you might like Shaye Elliot on youtube. She has a great sense of beauty and balance and creates lovely spaces. It takes time though. However, I find weeding to be therapeutic, as long as you like your own company, sunshine and dirt.
Congrats for the house purchase. I am absolutely jealous! Getting land in the GTA right now is out of my budget even with the softening market
Congrats on the house purchase! I really like your idea with the projector. Since moving last year we also no longer have a tv in our home, for the same reason you mentioned. However, I was wandering how we could still have an occational movie night with friends, if the need ever arises. I think I'll implement your idea :)
You could definitely go small scale with a veggie garden, maybe a cherry tomato plant, a pepper plant, some snap peas, a cucumber bush, you don't need a whole lot of space for one or two of them.
Speaking from experience, having a projector is AWESOME!!! Congrats you two ❤️
Very exciting!! Looking forward to the new videos!
Congratulations with the new house! We also have this projector idea! I also really don't like the tv to be the center of the room 😂
Congratulations! I'm not used to writing comments, but you look so happy and excited that it is inspiring. I'm very looking forward for your house content 😊
im so happy for you Loepsie!!!
Standard Dutch home... My friends area, had a row of houses that when it was window cleaning day, you could see right through 3 houses and out to the cow fields... It was weird.
Do you ever buy or visit Tulip gardens or grown them from Bulbs? New homes are are big deal, aren't they?
Congratulations! I know how exciting it is to get your dream house and dream gardening space, & I am so happy for you. Looking forward to all the moving / house / decorating content, too.
Ahhhh I'm so happy you'll be blogging! I love your vlog videos and as a quiet introvert in a loud city, I get to live through your videos.
I absolutely love how happy you are about the new house. And I completely understand that you want to move as quickly as possible. So excited to see all the upcoming videos on your channel!
Maybe the projector screen could automatically roll down by remote control or something?
Perfect video for today. So many exciting things ahead! Congratulations.
I am very excited to see all the new house content!
Congratulations and enjoy.
Wow
Can’t wait for house content!! Your style of antiques and Scandinavian in a blender really sounds like my own style so I can’t wait to see how you express that. I always get inspo that way!
So excited!!!
Yeeeey this is so exiting! Congratulations! Everything sounds lovely. 💕
Hey Lucy,
I m so happy i was with u when u were living in one room your college time home then u both shifted to this pretty home i still remember how exited u were about moving in this current home, and same excitement i am seeing again congratulations and all the best
Congratulations! I wish you so much fun with making your visions come alive. ♥️
So excited for you!
here in the states the contractors are booked out for 2 months. its crazy! good luck on your new space xx
I like that you included pictures for reference on the house style and decor that you mentioned. I'm not familiar at all with what houses in the Netherlands look like, so having some images as you describe things is very helpful! Good luck in the month of June and looking forward to all the house content!! 🏠
And... Veel geluk in julie niewe huis! 🌳⚘...from a regional town in Australia.
You got this. I'm super proud of you guys. 👏🏼
Squeeealllll!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited for you! Veggies can happen this summer; large pots are all you need. I did this with cucumbers, tomatoes, and lettuce. I can't wait to see the big move!
Have a great weekend,
xoxo's Sandie
I’m so excited and happy for you!! I am going through very similar situation. Moving next week into house with land after living in tiny apartment for years. I am so excited we r going through same thing at same time and can’t WAIT to see all ur moving content!! 💛💛
How exciting! Congrats too! Do you have any community/nighborhood gardens in your area? That could be a way to grow your own veggies and all. Just wondering. I have a pretty nice little yard, I had intentions of gardening but I just don't have a green thumb :( There's a city garden but I can't always visit it.
Congrats on the house! But also your makeup look in this vid is lovely 😂 very dewy and rosy! 🎀
I love moving vlogs and decorating videos, it's going to be such a blast, I'm very excited)))
So happy for you! Looking forward to seeing you work on the new house.
So happy for you! I cant help but wonder where you found a place, since the housing market is so high strung. Your plans on decorating sound super interesting and cant wait to see what you do. We have a projector in the livingroom instead of a tv, and its amazing i love it. The projector we bought on aliexpress and the costumer service was amazing (even after years they were responsive and helpful). It is coupled to a me-box. The screen we use is an ikea curtain, so it is a window by day and a tv by night. I think the style of kitchen is modern farmhouse?
I can’t wait to see all of your house content!
So excited about the moving content!!
So excited that it's finally happening!! Good luck with the first renovations and move!!
Congratulations and best wishes with your move! Excited for you!! Looking forward to seeing your upcoming videos.
Maybe I missed it but I am really curious in what village you are going to live, if you want to share of course, no pressure! My husband and I also bought a house outside of Amsterdam (Weesp) and I can't wait to move in. I also intend to make a sewing/knitting/crafting space in the attic and I am also very into the cottagecore and vintage aesthetic (the coincedence), so I am really looking forward to see your video's on that! Goodluck with moving next week! :)
Thank you for such wonderful happy news 🎀
