Hello, J’adore et merci from France. I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your videos. They nourish a part of my soul, tucked deep inside, that would otherwise fade through living away from home. Thank you. What a lovely idea God save the king Kingest regards :)
Hi Nicolas, please look at the Highlighted reply on the comment I made yesterday. I received this notice regarding being on a 'short list' of winners asking me to direct message you to acknowledge my prize. I WILL not be doing this as I have seen similar requests on other channels and it is a SCAM! Can you please put out a notice warning people!
My 93-year-old mother enjoyed your videos and introduced me to them last year. Mom has since passed, and I look for them each week and have found they bring me such a sense of peace and joy.
Thank you for sharing this touching comment. I am sorry to hear about your loss. We all need to support one another. May Nicolas' videos continue to bring you peace and comfort. God bless you, Robert.
I do love your videos, I think elegance is missing in society these days, so its lovely to see you introduce the finer things. You put so much thought into your presentations each time. Thank you Nicholas, you're truly a thoughtful human being x
I absolutely love the blue, yellow, and white color scheme that you did on your table Nic. I live here in the Southern United States and it looks so much like something you would see in some of our elegant antebellum mansions. I'm actually thinking of doing my bedroom in these colors. Thanks for sharing with us.
Hello from Arizona!! The UK has always had a special place in my heart! You occupy a little corner of that heart as well. Thank you for bringing a bit of royalty to the rest of the world--including order, beauty, and elegance in every day life. We need more like you.
While my husband was serving in the US Air Force, stationed at HMS Northwood, we were privileged to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary in Edinburgh. It was a special trip for our family and I think that's first drew me to watching your channel. I especially enjoy watching your cooking videos. You make the most delicious and wonderful looking dishes look so easy to create. Your giveaway is so generous and such a wonderful way to celebrate such a special occasion as the coronation with the world.
Hi Nicolas, No doubt, with 265 comments currently, your Duchess Coronation set has captured the attention of many of your followers. Nice to see there are still a few British fine bone china manufacturers in the U.K. Always look forward to being invited us into your gracious home. Cheers! Darryl
Nicolas, thank you for this week's relaxing and enjoyable video. You have such an engaging, open, and genuine spirit. Sharing your Invisalign experience, your new tableware, and Coronation give-a-way, will inspire others to think outside of their comfort zones. You inspire others with your kindness and thoughtfulness. As an American, I have always appreciated the dignity and grace that the Royal Family brings to the world stage. I look forward to seeing the Coronation, and I am sure a deserving fan will be honored to receive your gift. All the best from New York, Robert.
The blue against the white tablecloth is absolutely beautiful. The blues of the plates, glasses, and other aspects are different shades and textures of blues. It gives depth to the layout. The whole table looks clean, refreshing, and inviting.
Nicolas! I’ve been enjoying your channel ever since the beginning! I’ve said it before, but you are truly the Doyen of today’s fine home decor! All the best to you!
Nicolas, I've long enjoyed your videos but this year, especially this episode were so uplifting. I became nearly housebound about five years ago with a rare health condition. My dreams of travel to London and other European destinations have crumbled away. But you remind me that small, beautifully crafted items can help bring the feeling of a place to you, where ever you may be. My siblings and I lost our Dad and most of his family this past year. He was English and quite proud of it. As a retired English teacher he made sure to provide us each with complete geneolagies of his line, including some quite astounding historical figures. Best to you and enjoy the coronation !
Nicolas, the blue dishes look lovely on your table. For me the color blue evokes summer perfectly because summer is the time we are able to experience water. Greeting from California, I would sure love that China for my coronation party. My Mom, who was born in England would absolutely be thrilled to celebrate the coronation with this China. 😊
Nicolas, it Sunday evening & I am tucked up on the sofa delighting in your video, such a joy to watch. I too love beautiful pottery & creating interesting table settings. I remember once going into a fabulous shop in Provence, full of beautiful textiles & wonderful tableware & glass. I thought I had died & gone to heaven. Your video today brought back that wonderful memory. I loved your blue & white table setting with the zing of yellow tulips.....delicious!😋
Your table setting with the blues and yellow pops from the tulips….absolutely gorgeous! My favorite piece is the blue glass pitcher with its bumps/ridges!
As you were introducing the pieces, I was thinking that a pop of yellow would look so nice with that setting. And here you come with the yellow tulips!❤
Thanks for sharing your new haul. The blue glassware brought back memories of my Mom who collected blue glass and by the time she passed away she had amassed about 800 pieces. There was a wide variety of items including but not limited to plates, glasses, perfume bottles and vases. I had it appraised and sadly what she thought were expensive pieces were mostly reproductions but she got a great deal of joy out of collecting them and that is what counts. I always use a white tablecloth for a dinner party and then add colourful placemats on top that relate to the season of the year. I am looking forward to watching the coronation for the history and pageantry of it but I will need a nap afterwards since we are five hours behind you and that means I will be getting up before the birds.
Hello from Canada, I just love your new blue collection, as you mentioned it would look so pretty on the smaller round table with the sun shining on them. I love creating table settings, probably more than eating the food on them! There's something about creating a space for your guests to admire, and know that you thoughtfully selected each piece to make them feel special. As always, I look forward to your next video.
A lovely table setting Nicolas! Blue and white is timeless and elegant and you can never go wrong with that combination I also liked the contrast of the yellow tulips in the vase, it gives the table a bit of spice! Thanks for sharing a bit of beauty and tranquility as always!
Nicholas, I am so happy to see you embrace the blue table setting. How lovely! That cheerful splash of yellow gives it a lovely pop of color as well. It's beautiful! I think your teeth are fine and you have a wonderful smile, but do what makes you happy and I know I'll still enjoy your smile in the autumn 😁 Such a generous gift-away for the King's coronation.
Love your new purchases! I hope you set yourself a lovely breakfast table with them.. very cheerful! I wish you success with your dentistry. Lastly, God save the King! I have to admit I still tear up when I think of Queen Elizabeth. Even though an American, I have admired her for 60 years. Best regards from the states !
I agree that your comfort zone seems to be with greens and florals in your tableware very natural and pretty. The new setting really reflects water to me so perhaps you are just exploring another natural element. Definitely outside of your comfort zone but it looks beautiful and modern.
As I watched you put together your table setting, I thought of how lovely your room is. The choices you have made so far starting with the shade of paint to the choice and placement of the paintings on the wall are, in my opinion, just perfect. The blue glasses and pitcher add a perfect shade of blue to the table. 🥰🐕🇺🇸
Blue! How refreshing. I know, it’s hard, and as a coastal person I steer clear from royal blue for stereotypical reasons. But the hobnail glassware + ivory + gold = great! You didn’t ask my opinion 😁 but maybe switch the blue tapers with ivory ones. Save the blue tapers for your green layout or something. 🎉
Nickolas, that table setting is absolutely beautiful. The yellow tulips went well with the blue table setting. It is so lovely, thank you for sharing this video.
I just love your choice of water glasses and pitcher. they are very unique and a stand out ! The place mats and coasters also just make the whole setting pop as well nicely done!
I just LOVE your new blue hobnail glass pitcher and water glasses! You're right, it just makes me want to run my fingers over the little bubbles for the texture rush. Good stuff, thanks!
The blue hobnail glasses and pitcher are beautiful, good choice. Your table is wonderful with the yellow tulips. Thank you for sharing with us,I've learned so many interesting and fun ways to entertain from watching.
Blue has always been my favorite color and I so enjoyed your table setting. It brings my heart such joy to see a younger person embrace the joy of setting a proper table. I wish we had more of that here in America. Sincerely. Jan
I love your show, I learn so much from you. Dinner time in my home is very special and sacred because it is the one time of day that is a must for everyone to be present. We start with simply asking how everyone’s day went, I even ask my one year old, all he does is babble but it’s cute and give us all a laugh. We also dedicate either a day, week, or month talk about, celebrate, or recognize other cultures and traditions and of course that means food and even table decor. I would love to introduce High tea to my kids and that tea set would be an amazing element to add when we do it… keep up the amazing work that you do, it’s hard to stay positive in today’s time but your videos give me hope and they are always a reminder that love is still alive… Thank you ❤
I think my favorite part of your videos is how you genuinely share your enjoyment of the lovely things and environs you are working on. You inspire me to enjoy the same, no matter where I am or what I am doing!
Hi Nicolas, your table setting is so pretty and summery. After watching you show us your "haul", I had to stop myself from jumping in the car and heading out to buy some new china and cutlery. I've been using the same old china and cutlery for years and have a perfectly nice set of 'good china' in the cupboard for special occasions!! How silly, I am going to start using it on a daily basis and I'm going to start making an effort to make the dinner table look inviting rather than what I'm doing now, which is to throw a few place mats on the table!! Enjoy your new china, stemware and cutlery. I love the tulip vases...those I am definitely going to hunt for :) Keep well
Blue and white is my favorite color combination, especially with pops of yellow, green, or red. Love the tulip vases and blue placemats/chargers, too. Good luck with your Invisalign!
Great video Nicholas! Am so excited for the coronation! Love the new table setting, blue and gold for the King! Good luck with your Invisalign, I know of several nurses hat have had great outcomes! God bless and God save the King!😊
Dear Nicholas, I just think that you’re decoration videos and home ideas are gorgeous You really inspire a lot of people with your decoration. Really love watching you Cheers. 🤗🏡
I love blue and white porcelain, always had my kitchen and dining room in it, now its in the full house. i just love watching your video, they are so calm and present. Not to mention you give such a chic and effortless style for everything!
Nicholas, you always lift my spirits and help me to feel better. My day began as a difficult one missing certain people in my life and dealing with changes. You and your video have helped me. My 96 year old Mother loves the color blue, so your summer table setting is special to us. It is beautiful! May you enjoy many happy meals using it as you entertain your friends!
I am sorry to hear that your spirits are down over missing people in your life. To me, this is a testimony to your loving and caring spirit. This is a God-given gift. You have much to offer to the people you now have in your life. Always stay positive. God bless you. Robert.
17:54 Good morning Nicholas, The blue table setting looks fabulous especially the tulip vase. Actually to be honest I have been looking for a vase like that and in white, a colour that can go with many other colours. Thank you for sharing the website for that. About the giveaway and the wonderful set, wow it looks absolutely beautiful. My husband always said the English always know how to celebrate special occasions. He is right 👍 such a beautiful set of remembrance and collection. I'm not English but I always loved the English life style. By the way your gardens are absolutely gorgeous. So in love with the country cottage homes, oh well I can go on and on and then it will become a book with many chapters 😂 but I will end here. Your new summer table-setting it's absolutely wonderful, I'm very excited about the giveaway. And thank you again for sharing take care .
Hello Nicolas 👋🏼 I absolutely love your new tableware haul. The blue tablescape is stunning. It is good to get out of our comfort zone. I have found myself using royal blue, white and gray in my redecorating this past year and blue velvet chairs. It is a very uplifting color and different from my usual jewel tones and earth tones that have been my go to over the years. I think you will enjoy them as you host dinner parties this Spring and Summer. Your home is so inviting and I love the bedroom redesign and new paint color in your living area. I live in America and watch your videos whenever posted and I’m a life long admirer of the Royal Family and will be watching the Coronation of King Charles and Queen Camilla 👑🇬🇧 Fingers crossed 🤞 on the giveaway. ☕️ Someone is going to be very excited, whomever the winner is. Sending you love and goodwill from U.S.A. 🇺🇸❤
What a beautiful table setting, and yes you are correct about when you go out to eat to have the restaurant with a lovely white table cloth take care and keep up the fabulous work xx
What an elegant spring table! The yellow is just the color to offset the deep blues and white. Actually the yellow tulips bring out the ivory color in your unique flatware. The simplicity of this table also enhances its charm. The coronation china is stunning and of course I would love to have it. Here in Michigan i follow the Royals and I always sigh at the historically gorgeous architecture in the British Isles. May God richly bless the new King and bless him with his mother's wisdom and grace. With Love from Lin in Michigan
I really enjoy your appreciation of table settings, Nicolas. When we married ... 57 years ago in July ... my dear husband remarked, I've never known anyone to have so many sets of dishes [and shoes]! Well, the heart wants what the heart wants ❤. I like the blue and white motif myself, and it will always look classic, fresh and clean no matter the event. Interesting your giveaway includes some CRIII coronation chinaware -- I've been browsing the internet for a memento of the occasion myself, and your choice would suit me very well, should I be so lucky. I'll also be interested in your Invisalign experience -- I've considered it myself as my lower front teeth have shifted a bit over the years. I am also hoping you'll give us at least a brief glimpse of your recent Italian trip -- love Italy and vicariously will have to suffice for this year. Always find your videos enjoyable and relaxing, thank you!
Thank you for the inspiration! Love, love all of your choices and I am thinking very seriously on getting some blue and white for this summer! The tulips look just so pretty.
Wow! Love the table setting it is beautiful. So I did not know the Coronation was on May 6th that is our anniversary of 57 years of marriage how wonderful. Thank you for sharing.
This would be prefect for me and my partners coronation day tea party! We are big fans of your channel and follow every week! What a beautiful tea-set! 😊
Hi Nicolas If you want a tip for stopping the Tulips from drooping. Stick a pin in the stem immediately below the flower make a hole right through the stem and take it out again. Do it to every flower. They will stay upright for much longer and often don’t droop at all. Nice video. The blue looks cosy and relaxing for informal meals.
Loving the tulip vases's.... the bamboo candle holders are adorable.. I love bamboo... I had a wonderful massive bamboo armoire out on my patio for years and stored pots and gardening supplies in it... and my place in the Philippines had tons of bamboo furniture... The blue hobnail inspired pieces are fantastic... such a pretty color of blue... The crystal wine are stunning... subtle pattern and very elegant... Placemats are cute... are they too slick with the finish that the plates might slide when cutting food?? If they are... some stick on felt pads on the bottom of the plates will stop that... Flatware is lovely.... You would have a blast going through my silver and china storage rooms... I have silver going back to my Great Great Grandmothers... on my mothers and fathers side.... Great choices kiddo.... looks great! Cant wait to see some new table settings with some of these items.... Hope your doing great and enjoying your spring... xoxo Randolph
Hi, Nicholas! I have always loved blue and white china. The way you have paired it with the neutral color items and shades of blue gives it a fresh new look that I will be sure to copy!! And we know imitation is the sincerest form of flattery! Excited about the upcoming coronation! Looking forward to your next relaxing, inspiring video.
Your new tableware looks absolutely stunning, blue & white is such a classic elegant look I love all your videos and your openess and honesty when you share things about you, your personality and what's going on in your life. Xxx
ahhhh! my favorite painting is back on the mantle! i love your taste in tableware, it’s addictive to keep buying more. tulips grow a couple of inches daily even when cut.
Wonderful video. It was exciting to see your unboxed items. Your table looks so inviting and cheerful and it’s very heartfelt as my Aunt’s house was done it the blue, yellow and white colours. Wish she was still here with us to see your new collection. Nicholas your give away gift recognizing the King’s coronation is very generous. I myself have purchased a new condo and your candle and room reed diffuser is so welcoming in my new space. I live in British Columbia Canada and it arrived at the most perfect moment. My dog Roxy was having extensive leg surgery to repair ripped ligaments around her knee. I was feeling overwhelmed waiting for it to be over and then your package arrived on this day. Thank you for allowing us to purchase your beautiful items.
Bravo on a fresh new table setting to enliven your table. I can already picture it laden with a few of the excellent recipes you’ve shared with us. Enjoy!
Nicholas, I LOVE the blue glassware, pitcher and candle holders. Your table looks beautiful. The combination of the tablecloth, placemats and table settings is perfect!
Love the color scheme of your table setting Nicolas - only thing I would add is a fork with the desert spoon, as you should always have a fork with your spoon, my parents always told me growing up! Love all your new glassware, and table mats. Very tasteful. Love from Jilly & Madge the rescue greyhound, from Devon, England. xxx
Nicolas, Hello from the USA! You picked out some wonderful fresh pieces for your home. I love all of them but most of all I love the blue candle holders and water pitcher. You have inspired me so much this week. I have been having so much fun spring cleaning and redecorating my home. I have so much in common with you and love listening to your videos. Thank you for your time and effort you take to share your life with us. Much appreciated!
Nicholas, your new table setting is stunning! My favorite colors to surround myself with are shades of green and cream and I rarely deviate other than adding black as an accent. But I enjoyed seeing what you bought and I love your taste. Blue and white is classic and fresh and you nailed it! Love your channel!
Nicolas, as always, this video did not disappoint! I have to tell you that my husband, Eddie, and I love antiques and especially dishware and porcelain. At one time, Eddie, along with his former wife, were one of the biggest collectors in the United States of RS Prussia, fine porcelain. He had well over 7,000 pieces showcased in glass cabinets throughout our home (lovely, ewers, chocolate pots, tea pots, ginger jars and vases.) When I first arrived here, it was like walking into a museum! We have since sold much of it, but I continue to laugh a bit with family and friends, as we are known to many as ,"the house of dishes", LOL! We now have a vast collection of WATT pottery and also enjoy beautiful Jadeite, as well. I love how you set your table with all your new pieces and they are just lovely for the remainder of spring and on into the summer too! The yellow tulips make it all come together nicely! I can also see lovely peach roses in the blue pitcher down the road. You inspire me to want to dress up my vintage round table in our dining room and crack open my cupboards using pretty dishes to set a pretty table setting. We recently did over the dining room and I love it so much, so dressing it up with pretty dishes will be such fun for me. Your devotion and dedication to the Royal family is always a pleasure and you need to know you are speaking just fine with your new mouth situation. Thanks for this great video!
Just delightful. It looks like you took some of the room arranging advice of everyone on a previous video. if you haven’t already I’d like to see the new room. ❤
Nicolas thanks for sharing, as always, you made me smile. I retired early to care for my father. I’m working again part time in a beautiful flower shop and I love it. I worked late and so glad I tuned in to catch your newest haul. Like you, I love glassware, especially anything vintage that was used for entertaining! I’ve been collecting since I was 16! Recently I was speaking to a friend and I mentioned that I don’t believe either of my sons or my daughter are interested in any of it, just not their thing. I’d love someone to have it that not only appreciates the beauty but who will enjoy using it! I had an epiphany watching your choices in the video, before the info on the giveaway 🥰. I intend to look into how best to send you a piece or two and perhaps see it on your table sometime. I would love that. Thank you Nicolas! ❤️❤️
Hello Nicolas, I have been following you from France and I have also been showing your videos to some of my pupils learning English. When they have been studying well, they get to watch one of you videos and they adore it!! I want my pupils to get the feel of what British elegance is and you are the perfect ambassador for that! Thank you very much for this wonderful work of yours.
Well Nicholas I’m envious for your lovely haul of goodies. AND loving the the new fresh blue look. B4 you added the tulips I was thinking I’d add a bit of green/yellow and then you did. It’s a perfect setting for a summers day. The blue glasses and jug were a good buy and were just right for. Following as always. 👋🇬🇧💐
Love your channel and all things U.K. Your home is beautifully decorated and I love how you elevate everyday living with special touches and refined elegance. Thank you for allowing us into your life and giving us a inside look of all things U.K.
Hello Nickolas: I have been a fan of your channel for about 3 years. I enjoyed it so much that I told my friend Adam and his partner about it.They have been fans ever since. Adam was my restaurant manager. and was a member of my team for 17 years. He was 32 when I sold the restaurant. Adam is a huge loyalist and loves everything about the monarchy. He has been and still is a huge collector of British Royal memorabilia. I know he would absolutely love and appreciate your china giveaway. Even though I am 65 and Adam is now 34, we are dear friends. We love to sit and have tea together. My husband and I are traveling to Scotland, in September, for a family wedding. If Adam is not chosen, no worries. I will happily purchase a coronation set for him. Take care and stay well. Anna ( a fan from Canada) xo
My mother would love this tea set. My dad passed away recently and they were one of the last people to receive a card from the late queen to celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary. She has framed the card.
All the table pieces are so stunning!! I love the water pitcher and the blue glass candle holders, they are exquisite. I love the new paint color in your beautiful living room!! I must say this table scape is my favorite of yours. Thanks for sharing all your pretty's.
Your coronation china would also go beautifully with your new table setting. Especially if you changed the yellow tulips from yellow to red. Wow lovely!! Johns wife
Nicolas I always look forward to your new videos especially given the fact that you always have a way of cutting costs yet not sacrificing the look which we all appreciate in this economy. I wish I could be in the UK for the Coronation but living in Canada, a commonwealth, I will celebrate here!
Hi Lisa - I'm very pleased to tell you that you are the winner of the Coronation China set from Duchess china! If you could email me: hello@nicolasfairford.com and we can arrange to send you the prize! Thank you so much for participating!

Nicolas, thank you for this week's relaxing and enjoyable video. You have such an engaging, open, and genuine spirit. Sharing your Invisalign experience, your new tableware, and Coronation give-a-way, will inspire others to think outside of their comfort zones.

@ Nicolas Fairford Is this legit ? Never quite sure these days

Have you seen the instagram / tic tok about sticking a straight pin in the top of the tulip stem to keep them from laying down?
Lovely! I do like all things British. My grandparents came over from 🇮🇪 and one from Netherlands so it very special to watch your show.
Loved this episode and your choices for a lovely summer table! The yellow tulips were the perfect pop of color with all of the blue tones! Perfect!!
The blue and white looks so chic in your flat. Everything was gorgeous as usual!

Oh my gosh Nicolas, your table looks absolutely beautiful! You are so gifted with a wonderful eye for detail, color ,and design.
Love your new purchases! I hope you set yourself a lovely breakfast table with them.. very cheerful! I wish you success with your dentistry. Lastly, God save the King! I have to admit I still tear up when I think of Queen Elizabeth. Even though an American, I have admired her for 60 years. Best regards from the states !
I agree that your comfort zone seems to be with greens and florals in your tableware very natural and pretty. The new setting really reflects water to me so perhaps you are just exploring another natural element. Definitely outside of your comfort zone but it looks beautiful and modern.
As I watched you put together your table setting, I thought of how lovely your room is. The choices you have made so far starting with the shade of paint to the choice and placement of the paintings on the wall are, in my opinion, just perfect. The blue glasses and pitcher add a perfect shade of blue to the table. 🥰🐕🇺🇸
As always, you never disappoint!!!
Love you, your style, your channel, your products. Your passion and love truly shows. Many blessings to you!
Blue! How refreshing. I know, it’s hard, and as a coastal person I steer clear from royal blue for stereotypical reasons. But the hobnail glassware + ivory + gold = great! You didn’t ask my opinion 😁 but maybe switch the blue tapers with ivory ones. Save the blue tapers for your green layout or something. 🎉
The table was just glorious! I loved how the bamboo candlesticks and the flatware pick up the color of the chairs. Soo pretty!
Nickolas, that table setting is absolutely beautiful. The yellow tulips went well with the blue table setting. It is so lovely, thank you for sharing this video.
I just love your choice of water glasses and pitcher. they are very unique and a stand out ! The place mats and coasters also just make the whole setting pop as well nicely done!
I just LOVE your new blue hobnail glass pitcher and water glasses! You're right, it just makes me want to run my fingers over the little bubbles for the texture rush. Good stuff, thanks!
Thank you for sharing your lovely new treasures with us. Hope they contribute to bringing you many happy dinners and gatherings for years to come!
The blue hobnail glasses and pitcher are beautiful, good choice. Your table is wonderful with the yellow tulips. Thank you for sharing with us,I've learned so many interesting and fun ways to entertain from watching.
Blue has always been my favorite color and I so enjoyed your table setting. It brings my heart such joy to see a younger person embrace the joy of setting a proper table. I wish we had more of that here in America. Sincerely. Jan
I love your show, I learn so much from you. Dinner time in my home is very special and sacred because it is the one time of day that is a must for everyone to be present. We start with simply asking how everyone’s day went, I even ask my one year old, all he does is babble but it’s cute and give us all a laugh. We also dedicate either a day, week, or month talk about, celebrate, or recognize other cultures and traditions and of course that means food and even table decor. I would love to introduce High tea to my kids and that tea set would be an amazing element to add when we do it… keep up the amazing work that you do, it’s hard to stay positive in today’s time but your videos give me hope and they are always a reminder that love is still alive…
Thank you ❤
I think my favorite part of your videos is how you genuinely share your enjoyment of the lovely things and environs you are working on. You inspire me to enjoy the same, no matter where I am or what I am doing!
Hi Nicolas, your table setting is so pretty and summery. After watching you show us your "haul", I had to stop myself from jumping in the car and heading out to buy some new china and cutlery. I've been using the same old china and cutlery for years and have a perfectly nice set of 'good china' in the cupboard for special occasions!! How silly, I am going to start using it on a daily basis and I'm going to start making an effort to make the dinner table look inviting rather than what I'm doing now, which is to throw a few place mats on the table!! Enjoy your new china, stemware and cutlery. I love the tulip vases...those I am definitely going to hunt for :) Keep well
I love the blue and white table setting. My whole home is themed around blue and white. I find it relaxing and elegant.
Such a pleasure to watch your videos. All of your decorating choices are wonderful. The blue addition is delightful. Thank you for sharing!
Blue and white is my favorite color combination, especially with pops of yellow, green, or red. Love the tulip vases and blue placemats/chargers, too. Good luck with your Invisalign!
Great video Nicholas! Am so excited for the coronation! Love the new table setting, blue and gold for the King!
Good luck with your Invisalign, I know of several nurses hat have had great outcomes! God bless and God save the King!😊
The house looks so much better with the new paint color, and with the nice blue accessories.
Dear Nicholas,
I just think that you’re decoration videos and home ideas are gorgeous You really inspire a lot of people with your decoration. Really love watching you
Cheers. 🤗🏡
I love blue and white porcelain, always had my kitchen and dining room in it, now its in the full house. i just love watching your video, they are so calm and present. Not to mention you give such a chic and effortless style for everything!
An elegant table setting for summer dining. Modern yet classic. Thank you, Nicolas.
Nicholas, you always lift my spirits and help me to feel better. My day began as a difficult one missing certain people in my life and dealing with changes. You and your video have helped me. My 96 year old Mother loves the color blue, so your summer table setting is special to us. It is beautiful! May you enjoy many happy meals using it as you entertain your friends!
I am sorry to hear that your spirits are down over missing people in your life. To me, this is a testimony to your loving and caring spirit. This is a God-given gift. You have much to offer to the people you now have in your life. Always stay positive. God bless you. Robert.
@@robertdunbar2434 Thank you for your kind and encouraging words!
17:54 Good morning Nicholas,
The blue table setting looks fabulous especially the tulip vase. Actually to be honest I have been looking for a vase like that and in white, a colour that can go with many other colours. Thank you for sharing the website for that.
About the giveaway and the wonderful set, wow it looks absolutely beautiful. My husband always said the English always know how to celebrate special occasions. He is right 👍 such a beautiful set of remembrance and collection. I'm not English but I always loved the English life style. By the way your gardens are absolutely gorgeous. So in love with the country cottage homes, oh well I can go on and on and then it will become a book with many chapters 😂 but I will end here.
Your new summer table-setting it's absolutely wonderful, I'm very excited about the giveaway. And thank you again for sharing take care .
Love the blue and white! It is always a joy to see what you will give us each time. Happy spring!
Hello Nicolas 👋🏼 I absolutely love your new tableware haul. The blue tablescape is stunning. It is good to get out of our comfort zone. I have found myself using royal blue, white and gray in my redecorating this past year and blue velvet chairs. It is a very uplifting color and different from my usual jewel tones and earth tones that have been my go to over the years. I think you will enjoy them as you host dinner parties this Spring and Summer. Your home is so inviting and I love the bedroom redesign and new paint color in your living area. I live in America and watch your videos whenever posted and I’m a life long admirer of the Royal Family and will be watching the Coronation of King Charles and Queen Camilla 👑🇬🇧 Fingers crossed 🤞 on the giveaway. ☕️ Someone is going to be very excited, whomever the winner is. Sending you love and goodwill from U.S.A. 🇺🇸❤
Like the blue Mediterranean summer palette! Those tulip vases would look good with the flower stems cut quite short, I reckon.😊
What a beautiful table setting, and yes you are correct about when you go out to eat to have the restaurant with a lovely white table cloth take care and keep up the fabulous work xx
What an elegant spring table! The yellow is just the color to offset the deep blues and white. Actually the yellow tulips bring out the ivory color in your unique flatware. The simplicity of this table also enhances its charm.
The coronation china is stunning and of course I would love to have it. Here in Michigan i follow the Royals and I always sigh at the historically gorgeous architecture in the British Isles. May God richly bless the new King and bless him with his mother's wisdom and grace. With Love from Lin in Michigan
I really enjoy your appreciation of table settings, Nicolas. When we married ... 57 years ago in July ... my dear husband remarked, I've never known anyone to have so many sets of dishes [and shoes]! Well, the heart wants what the heart wants ❤. I like the blue and white motif myself, and it will always look classic, fresh and clean no matter the event. Interesting your giveaway includes some CRIII coronation chinaware -- I've been browsing the internet for a memento of the occasion myself, and your choice would suit me very well, should I be so lucky. I'll also be interested in your Invisalign experience -- I've considered it myself as my lower front teeth have shifted a bit over the years. I am also hoping you'll give us at least a brief glimpse of your recent Italian trip -- love Italy and vicariously will have to suffice for this year. Always find your videos enjoyable and relaxing, thank you!
Thank you for the inspiration! Love, love all of your choices and I am thinking very seriously on getting some blue and white for this summer! The tulips look just so pretty.
Wow! Love the table setting it is beautiful. So I did not know the Coronation was on May 6th that is our anniversary of 57 years of marriage how wonderful. Thank you for sharing.
This would be prefect for me and my partners coronation day tea party! We are big fans of your channel and follow every week! What a beautiful tea-set! 😊
Another fabulous video. When you were showing the tulip vases I immediately thought of yellow tulips and there they were on the table! How fun.
Hi Nicolas
If you want a tip for stopping the Tulips from drooping. Stick a pin in the stem immediately below the flower make a hole right through the stem and take it out again. Do it to every flower. They will stay upright for much longer and often don’t droop at all. Nice video. The blue looks cosy and relaxing for informal meals.
Loving the tulip vases's....
the bamboo candle holders are adorable.. I love bamboo... I had a wonderful massive bamboo armoire out on my patio for years and stored pots and gardening supplies in it... and my place in the Philippines had tons of bamboo furniture...
The blue hobnail inspired pieces are fantastic... such a pretty color of blue...
The crystal wine are stunning... subtle pattern and very elegant...
Placemats are cute... are they too slick with the finish that the plates might slide when cutting food?? If they are... some stick on felt pads on the bottom of the plates will stop that...
Flatware is lovely.... You would have a blast going through my silver and china storage rooms... I have silver going back to my Great Great Grandmothers... on my mothers and fathers side....
Great choices kiddo.... looks great! Cant wait to see some new table settings with some of these items....
Hope your doing great and enjoying your spring...
xoxo Randolph
Hi, Nicholas! I have always loved blue and white china. The way you have paired it with the neutral color items and shades of blue gives it a fresh new look that I will be sure to copy!! And we know imitation is the sincerest form of flattery! Excited about the upcoming coronation! Looking forward to your next relaxing, inspiring video.
Your new tableware looks absolutely stunning, blue & white is such a classic elegant look
I love all your videos and your openess and honesty when you share things about you, your personality and what's going on in your life.
Xxx
ahhhh! my favorite painting is back on the mantle! i love your taste in tableware, it’s addictive to keep buying more. tulips grow a couple of inches daily even when cut.
I looved the table setting. Very appropriate for the summer The blue was definitely a great choice of color.
What a beautiful table setting Nicholas. You totally killed it.
Wonderful video. It was exciting to see your unboxed items. Your table looks so inviting and cheerful and it’s very heartfelt as my Aunt’s house was done it the blue, yellow and white colours. Wish she was still here with us to see your new collection.
Nicholas your give away gift recognizing the King’s coronation is very generous.
I myself have purchased a new condo and your candle and room reed diffuser is so welcoming in my new space. I live in British Columbia Canada and it arrived at the most perfect moment. My dog Roxy was having extensive leg surgery to repair ripped ligaments around her knee. I was feeling overwhelmed waiting for it to be over and then your package arrived on this day. Thank you for allowing us to purchase your beautiful items.
Beautiful table setting. Blue and white is timeless, fresh & elegant.
Bravo on a fresh new table setting to enliven your table. I can already picture it laden with a few of the excellent recipes you’ve shared with us. Enjoy!
Nicholas, I LOVE the blue glassware, pitcher and candle holders. Your table looks beautiful. The combination of the tablecloth, placemats and table settings is perfect!
Love the color scheme of your table setting Nicolas - only thing I would add is a fork with the desert spoon, as you should always have a fork with your spoon, my parents always told me growing up! Love all your new glassware, and table mats. Very tasteful. Love from Jilly & Madge the rescue greyhound, from Devon, England. xxx
Nicolas your new table setting is so fitting for the coronation. Anyone would be delighted to set down at your table.
Nicolas, Hello from the USA! You picked out some wonderful fresh pieces for your home. I love all of them but most of all I love the blue candle holders and water pitcher. You have inspired me so much this week. I have been having so much fun spring cleaning and redecorating my home. I have so much in common with you and love listening to your videos. Thank you for your time and effort you take to share your life with us. Much appreciated!
Love your decorating style!! You have inspired me several times to go change something in my house. Love the coronation china!
Dishes are spectacular! Beautiful! Festive and fun way to remember the Coronation!! Thank you! Sandy
Nicholas, your new table setting is stunning! My favorite colors to surround myself with are shades of green and cream and I rarely deviate other than adding black as an accent. But I enjoyed seeing what you bought and I love your taste. Blue and white is classic and fresh and you nailed it! Love your channel!
God Save the King and God Bless Nicolas Fairford ! Loved your Blue table setting.❤❤❤
They say to prick the tulips with a pin at the top of the stem to help stop them flopping down. Love your new table setting 💙
Does it work?
@@carlyh6913 it certainly helps
Nicolas, as always, this video did not disappoint! I have to tell you that my husband, Eddie, and I love antiques and especially dishware and porcelain. At one time, Eddie, along with his former wife, were one of the biggest collectors in the United States of RS Prussia, fine porcelain. He had well over 7,000 pieces showcased in glass cabinets throughout our home (lovely, ewers, chocolate pots, tea pots, ginger jars and vases.) When I first arrived here, it was like walking into a museum! We have since sold much of it, but I continue to laugh a bit with family and friends, as we are known to many as ,"the house of dishes", LOL! We now have a vast collection of WATT pottery and also enjoy beautiful Jadeite, as well. I love how you set your table with all your new pieces and they are just lovely for the remainder of spring and on into the summer too! The yellow tulips make it all come together nicely! I can also see lovely peach roses in the blue pitcher down the road. You inspire me to want to dress up my vintage round table in our dining room and crack open my cupboards using pretty dishes to set a pretty table setting. We recently did over the dining room and I love it so much, so dressing it up with pretty dishes will be such fun for me. Your devotion and dedication to the Royal family is always a pleasure and you need to know you are speaking just fine with your new mouth situation. Thanks for this great video!
Just delightful. It looks like you took some of the room arranging advice of everyone on a previous video. if you haven’t already I’d like to see the new room. ❤
Nicolas,
Love, love your informative and relaxing videos. Toured England and loved so much. “Long Live The King”.
The China is beautiful ♥️👍
Loved the blue table wear, think it looks so fresh x 💙
Nicholas, I love your new table wear purchases. The pitcher and glassware especially caught my eye. Looking forward to your Invisalign journey!
The blue table is gorgeous! All of your tablescapes are!
Nicolas thanks for sharing, as always, you made me smile.
I retired early to care for my father. I’m working again part time in a beautiful flower shop and I love it. I worked late and so glad I tuned in to catch your newest haul. Like you, I love glassware, especially anything vintage that was used for entertaining! I’ve been collecting since I was 16! Recently I was speaking to a friend and I mentioned that I don’t believe either of my sons or my daughter are interested in any of it, just not their thing. I’d love someone to have it that not only appreciates the beauty but who will enjoy using it!
I had an epiphany watching your choices in the video, before the info on the giveaway 🥰. I intend to look into how best to send you a piece or two and perhaps see it on your table sometime. I would love that. Thank you Nicolas! ❤️❤️
the tablesetting turned out wonderful! I just purchased some blue glass stemware from a resale shop and I'm looking forward to using them this summer.
Hello Nicolas, I have been following you from France and I have also been showing your videos to some of my pupils learning English. When they have been studying well, they get to watch one of you videos and they adore it!! I want my pupils to get the feel of what British elegance is and you are the perfect ambassador for that! Thank you very much for this wonderful work of yours.
I love your table setting. It’s very fresh and summery.
Well Nicholas I’m envious for your lovely haul of goodies. AND loving the the new fresh blue look. B4 you added the tulips I was thinking I’d add a bit of green/yellow and then you did. It’s a perfect setting for a summers day. The blue glasses and jug were a good buy and were just right for. Following as always. 👋🇬🇧💐
I absolutely love your table setting shown today. I think yellow went very well with the blue.
Love your channel and all things U.K. Your home is beautifully decorated and I love how you elevate everyday living with special touches and refined elegance. Thank you for allowing us into your life and giving us a inside look of all things U.K.
Thank you for always brightening up my day with you’re lovely smile and kind voice. Sending you much love from Pennsylvania 💕
Hello Nickolas: I have been a fan of your channel for about 3 years. I enjoyed it so much that I told my friend Adam and his partner about it.They have been fans ever since. Adam was my restaurant manager. and was a member of my team for 17 years. He was 32 when I sold the restaurant. Adam is a huge loyalist and loves everything about the monarchy. He has been and still is a huge collector of British Royal memorabilia. I know he would absolutely love and appreciate your china giveaway. Even though I am 65 and Adam is now 34, we are dear friends. We love to sit and have tea together. My husband and I are traveling to Scotland, in September, for a family wedding. If Adam is not chosen, no worries. I will happily purchase a coronation set for him. Take care and stay well.
Anna ( a fan from Canada) xo
I love your tableware. I am a fan of blue and white table settings. They are bright, summery and remind me of the ocean/beach. Great choices! ❤❤❤
LOVED the yellow punch of color that the tulips gave the table setting. I would be interested to see how this all looks during the evening light.
My mother would love this tea set. My dad passed away recently and they were one of the last people to receive a card from the late queen to celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary. She has framed the card.
All the table pieces are so stunning!! I love the water pitcher and the blue glass candle holders, they are exquisite. I love the new paint color in your beautiful living room!! I must say this table scape is my favorite of yours. Thanks for sharing all your pretty's.
I love the spring table setting! The coronation celebration collection is exquisite!
Your coronation china would also go beautifully with your new table setting. Especially if you changed the yellow tulips from yellow to red. Wow lovely!! Johns wife
Nicolas I always look forward to your new videos especially given the fact that you always have a way of cutting costs yet not sacrificing the look which we all appreciate in this economy. I wish I could be in the UK for the Coronation but living in Canada, a commonwealth, I will celebrate here!
Hi Lisa - I'm very pleased to tell you that you are the winner of the Coronation China set from Duchess china! If you could email me: hello@nicolasfairford.com and we can arrange to send you the prize! Thank you so much for participating!
Hi Nicholas, I love blue and white , so this setting is just gorgeous . The ridged glassware is called hobnail here in the US. I hope you and your lucky guests enjoy the new tablescape.❤
