Noth Facing does not give you too much Bright Light. Think well about too dark a colour.
Maybe just me but I do need LIGHT!!!
🏴💕
You have beautiful light, the one thing I adore about your place. Can’t really picture dark colors. Love it all white
I share all the joys of Spring and Summer with you, Luke. The lighter days, the birds singing, the blossom appearing, just love it, you can stick the winter, absolutely hate it with a passion! That clock is fabulous, really nice. OMG! I would love to come round to yours for tea, that food looks divine!
The fire place is usually your feature wall,you put the dark colour on that wall,then have the other 3 walls white or a lighter colour.
Valspar will colour match any sample - so you can choose your Farrow and Ball colour and have it made up by Valspar. Their quality is great and it’s much more cost effective than Farrow and Ball. Also you can choose the type of finish you want - and they will make up sample pots too. I’d definitely recommend giving it a try. It’s the best paint we’ve ever used and I wouldn’t use anything else now.
You beat me to it! Just going to say the same. The decorator we used last year wouldn’t use F and B saying the quality wasn’t great so we had Valspar mixed to the colours we wanted
Wickes will do that for you too. I'm pondering doing that with a Little Green paint colour I like.
@@digidol52 same experience here. We also use little greene now. Low VoC l, lovely colours and it covers so well. X
Valspar covers like a dream but have a look online re unpleasant smell that hangs about for months. That was my experience, had to paint over it. I'm a big fan of Little Greene.
@@jojenks8688 I agree, F&B is owned by a Danish company now, and people are seeing a difference in quality since the sale :(
Maybe you could paint just one wall in the dark colour and the rest light have an accent wall that’s quite popular. Dark colours all over can make the space too dim. I usually flick through my Interior design magazines for inspiration.
I tried the feature wall and was delighted. We have the "warmth" of the deep colour which is gorgeous and it works with our north facing room.
I can imagine the library in a darker color-dark and moody with a room filled with books! Add some plants, and perfection!
I’m with you when it comes to to staying home. I am a lover of plants, my apartment is filled and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Watching from Florida, USA!! ❤
If you have even the smallest of areas for a small composter, it’s well worth it. Home composting is cheap and environmental friendly. Keep your egg shells to keep the snails away from eating your herbs. Dry them out in the oven after you have had the oven to utilise the heat after you have finished. Then crutch up and put on top of pots to deter the slugs and snails.
Morning! I love staying in too 😊 Gardening is so therapeutic, be lovely to see how yours develops 🌻🌱🪴🪻🐝🐞🪲🐌🐜
I’m completely obsessed with playing scales and exercises. They revolutionise my playing and I notice when I stop doing them for more than a few days. I play flute - not piano. It’s my job.
Zara your new car sounds great. Ah Maggie I bet she looks cool in the new car. ❤
Just yesterday I got a sample of f&b from our local family diy shop. When I paid for it the lovely man told me they could mix all the f&b colours using Dulux paint. He said they had more people do it that way than buying the actual paint. Also it's much cheaper!!
Nice to hear your news Zara. A fantastic idea for the irrigation system. Once connected then it's just a matter of setting the timer. A must for a couple like yourselves who holiday at short notice👏🤩😍
Hi - I used Farrow and Ball Matt gloss on dining room chairs 8 years ago and they still look very good. I've never used their emulsion. I have my whole house painted in brilliant white and love the way it reflects the light. It takes on a different appearance in each room dependent upon the furnishings and soft furnishings. It is easy to change the vibe of a room by changing these rather than having to make sure they don't clash with walls. Artwork too looks very good against the walls. Be absolutely sure that you want to put dark colours on your walls. Of course this is my preference but I know so many people who have painted their walls only to have to 're-paint them several times because they are not happy with the colours or they tire of them quickly. Like you I am loving that Spring is just around the corner.
Agree with you. I have Dulux 'Timeless' for my whole flat. It's a lovely soft, warm white. Not clinicał at all.
I agree. A neutral colour on the walls goes a long way. And then refresh with soft furnishings every so often. But never white for me specifically with kids 😝.
My last sofas were a light ( leather) colour as I thought kiddies were older enough to live with that colour, and I regretted ever since, so 2023 was the year my sofas got replaced with still leather but a dark midnight blue that actually has a tiny bit of black. Love them! Easy clean and easy going.
Then I replaced the rug with a lighter colour mix to be able to bring light in.
Our home is big so thankfully can take some dark colours too 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉.
Your home sounds lovely! 🥰
@@sleepycat8887 Dulux do wipeable paint. For scuff marks, marker pens, felt tip pen & crayon marks on any paint, apply a little neat dish soap then wipe off gently with a sponge.
@@sarahholland2600 thank you. Still kids find a brilliant way to make a muck out of it sooo easily. Always wiping walls.. and doors. Life 😂 😂 😂
Zara, your new car will be your baby. Sounds perfect! 💗💗💗👍👍👍👍
Now you understand fully a “Home” your own Home! Making it so it fits both your personalities and your tastes. One word “Comfort”. 💗💗💗💗💗
Espresso and Luke….my Sunday morning ritual!!! Love it ❤️
Me too 😊
Those loud birds are Green Parakeets. They are a familiar sound in certain areas of London.
Thanks the UK has so many great gardeners and so many great inspirations. When I visited my cousins I made sure it was during the Chelsea flower show. Here in Houston Texas we can garden year round. I have many things blooming now. I wish you great success...and two chairs and a table to have coffee out in the garden. 😊
I absolutely love the reds you're thinking of doing. Definitely do the library dark! As the libraries of old grand houses were always dark and moody. I have the same as you, north facing living room, a dark middle room and south facing kitchen dining room. My husband is a professional painter and loves Farrow and Ball, we have dark black blue Haque in our living room and middle room. And you're so right it makes them so cosy.
But it's Zara and your home go with your gut feeling and as usual it will look stunning!!!. Its only paint at the end of the day ❤
Hi Luke, lovely blog. We always use Dulux Trade paint. It is hard wearing and covers very well. We painted our kitchen about 10 years ago, and it looks just as good today. Personally, I would keep your hall way bright. A bold colour in the lounge would look lovely. Your creme brulee looked delicious. Talking of foxes, my hubby was in the front garden 11.00am Saturday morning, digging some blue bells up, when a fox, raced down the street, saw some people with a dog walking up, and leapt over our wall right beside my husband, gave him a quick glance and raced off up the street, dont know who was more scared Mr. Fox or Mr. Hall 🦊😂. We caught it all on camera too. You could maybe set up a camera in your back bedroom, you can then watch any foxes who come into your garden. We see lots in our front garden. I love your new wall clock, very stylish and fits in lovely in the kitchen. Take care, have a lovely week. xxx
Indian Yellow, bright and breezy for spring and summer.
If you love the Farrow & Ball colours you are better off getting them colour matched. My hubby is a retired Painter & Decorator and he said all these expensive paints are not worth it. He also said don’t do your colour patches on the wall as depending on what colour you finally choose your patch work will show through. Get some A4 paper and do you colour patches on those so you can move them around the room so that you can see the colours in different lights.
Lovely vlog Luke. Lots to look forward to. Good luck with your training. ♥
Great chatty vlog, Luke, on house, plants, paints and yummy food. Your dinner looked really tasty 😋The warmth of a rich colour is lovely but maybe not every wall, perhaps try a feature wall to start. We did that with our north facing room and love it. Love watching your updates.
Irrigation is the best water to water plants with out wasting water ! It’s cheep and easy to install but once you decide where and what plants to use the state has to go in as you plant and covered over with mulch .
I love staying in too Luke
Can’t wait to see the garden done up and your paint choices are spot on 😊
I used B & Q For my paint. They colour match Farrow and Ball and their Valspar paint was brilliant. It was recommended to me by a painter and decorator. I love your idea of bright kitchen, warmer reading room and dark and cosy sitting room. Love love the deep burgundy you’ve chosen and the gorgeous hallway green. Can’t wait for more house updates x
Totally agree, valspar is a lovely paint to use, better than farrow and ball and so much cheaper. Definitely recommend x
I personally used Farrow & Ball for our living room and kitchen - we got the light grey colour and a forest green and it’s worked so well for us!
Congratulation Zara, happy driving. Great vlog Luke.
I'm so with you on the change in the season, I feel so much better now that spring is just around the corner! Being at home with my pups is so much better than being out and about. I do enjoy going places, but I have really embraced being at home the last couple of years. LOVE the clock! Piano is sounding good, just keep practicing. I'm really looking forward to the video of Zara's car, it's so cute!
I love that you are a home bird - I love being at home too ! Keep the chatty vlogs and the home updates coming . Lots of love to you and Zara xx
Hi luke great vlog, love the clock it's so stylish, ur garden is gonna look great come the summer & wit it being south facing it will b warm so plenty of heat in the summer, awww Maggie is just the cutest lady, well done zara on ur new car can't wait to c it, have a great weekend guys lots of love to u all 💞💞💞
If you put plants in a flower bed they will come back every year. Also i put flow fertilizer on plants when i plant them. Fertilizing them every month keeps them healthy and they grow bigger. I put sheep manure on flower beds every spring too. My flowers look beautiful because of it. If you have insects that eat leaves put broken egg shells around bottom of plants.
Well whatever I'm sure the outcome of the painted room will be gorgeous can't wait to see when done and finished 😊
loved it a mixed medley always good to plan what you want in the garden. i can relate to the protective cover, i have these too one is protecting my carrots from the harsh frosts love the spring months, the winter seems long but at least we have lighter nights. the food looks amazing. xxx
Im such a homebody too,love my house and garden brings me so much Joy and peace❤
Hi Luke! The piano playing is coming along nicely. 😉 Can't wait to see that new color on the wall and what your spring garden is going to look like. I'm sure it will be lovely. Have a blessed week ahead! Much love from Fort Worth, Texas! 😊⛅🌱
You're an amazing pianist Luke. I'd love to hear more. I learned the piano from aged 6 & I love it. You're so good at everything!
Congratulations on your new car Zara❤x
❤ this, it’s really fab to see you are enjoying life ❤
Love the new clock. It was so good to see you happily pottering in the garden, it is so good for your stress levels. You must get some nice seating for you and Zara for the summer. I love being at home like you. I think the cutting you have is a fuchsia. 🐈⬛🌱🌱🌱
Your mini daffs can go directly in the garden but I guess you want to work on the borders first. Cut off the spent blooms but leave the greenery so they can renew their energy for next year's blooms :)))🌼 Love all the house and garden reno, paint samples and congratulations Zara on your new car!!! 🏎🏎🏎🏎 vroom ..vroom
I agree with you Luke when it comes to Spring and Summer. I struggle in the Winter mentally and physically.
I am loving the clock and looking forward to how your garden develops and grows. Planting up your own garden is so good for your soul.
I love the idea of the library and living room in the same colour i think it would look amazing in the colour you have chosen it will be all cozy. Another great vlog xx
I had mouses back in a large open plan area and with crisp white woodwork it looked fab.
Thank you Luke ❤️
Our Grandson excels in music at just sixteen he composes his own music. He is to attend Music college then onto Uni. Takes after his father who has much to do within this field. They have a soundproof recording studio on the third floor of their home. All do excell in something. 👍👍👍💗💗💗
Hi Luke and Zara ☺️ Lovely, homely catch up. It’s great to see the contentment you share in your new home. There is no hurry to do things. Take your time and enjoy just as you are doing 🏠
Honey suckle, looks good, and the other plants are doing well, Creme Brulee lovely, the Rhubarb slice good, Keep your walls light , Maggie so sweet! 😊
I enjoyed this vlog so much. How exciting getting to decorate your very own home just as you both would like it. Your ideas sound so beautiful, cozy and elegant as are the two of you.
I’m the opposite of you Luke. I get anxious and down in the spring. I love the fall and winter. I’m a weirdo.
Congratulations on your first new car, Zara. Very happy for you. Stay safe in it and enjoy.
Morning Luke Zara. Love The New Clock. How Kind Giving You all Those Plants. The Paint Colours are Fabulous, Very Cold here This Morning in west Yorkshire 🥶But dry , Enjoy your Sunday and Week. Xx 😘😊Luke the plant in The Window is a Anthurium. 🌿
Johnstones do excellent paint, good coverage and nicely pigmented too
Your so very happy since moving into your new home! I'm really enjoying your vlogs! Imo I'd go from bright kitchen to a cranny beige in the library with pop's of burgundy accessories abs that rich beautiful color in the living room! Can't wait to see what you guys decide!❤
I love the way you are designing the rooms of your new house. Daffodils will rebloom every Spring for decades... Squirrel replanting happens sometimes. Also animals do not like to eat daffodils. Funny thing...my living room is a rich brick red.
Dark paint will make your room much smaller. It will close the room in. Maybd alcoves but keep it bright! However, it is your home and we all have different tastes.
I think the colours you’re going for will look very rich 😊. Loved Zara’s main event ❤. I have to say you two seem so very happy since moving into your home. It’s lovely to see 🥰
I always use the Farrow and Ball colour but mixed by B&Q using their Valspar range, always spot on and look brilliant, loving the garden planning xx
So pleased that Zara’s auntie bought bulbs for the garden, just a joy and will add a pop of colour!🌼🌻🌺🌹🌸
Just mentioned to Mr.C, that a sweet lady Sheilas shopping and cooking channel, has popped up! I did say she has a LUKE accent, but forgive me if it’s NEW and CASTLE🤫😆 Just the sweetest lady that knits and shops🤧
As previously mentioned choose your colour and our decorator used Johnston paint it’s great.👍👍
I don’t like winter, spring makes you feel so good love gardening 😊
Good morning from Sunny cool Northern California to you Luke, Zara and sweet Maggie. Lilly Rose says hi too.🐾 Maggie is very adorable and her facial expressions are like she knows exactly what you are telling us.
That clock is stunning and I’m like “WOW”.
I loved the darker color maybe for the front room for its cozy vibe but not as dark for your library room. Nicholas Fairford used that Mouse color and after awhile he got tired of it and repainted so you may want to rethink that color. Whatever you decide as you stated it only takes a redo on painting.
Beautiful plants. Your daffodils will not rebloom and the leaves will die down so you can put some annuals on the top layer of dirt on the top, next February the bulbs will rebloom.
Congratulations Zara on your new car. Very excited for you.
Very much enjoyed the video. Have a great week.❤❤❤
Great Vlog. To understand who you are and what your comfort zones are is just wonderful. Stay true to yourself and life will be so sweet
Zara congratulations. I bought my 3rd Fiat 500 yesterday. Stylish cars. This one is my first hybrid.
Maggie you are the sweetest girl. X
I know what you mean Luke I am a real homebody I just love being at home and pottering around the garden ❤ your clock is beautiful what a lovely house warming present. Zara lovely to hear your news of the new car ❤ love watching you two go from strength to strength and Maggie is so cute xx
Whole house is in Farrow and Ball and I absolutely love it. My husband loved painting with it. I don’t understand the hate! Would recommend 100%
❤❤❤❤ mouses back !!!!😊
Happy Sunday Luke, Zara and Maggie! Luke I believe the plant you have is an Anthurium not a Spathiphyllum (peace lily). The flowers look very similar though. I'm so glad yours perked up. It's so pretty and what lovely plant gifts from Zara's aunt and uncle, especially the olive tree😱 I love your chatty videos and discussing your house and garden plans! Thank you for sharing them with us. Zara congrats on your new car!!
Hi Luke loved to here what's coming with the house dark red colour choice fab Leyland colour matches are brilliant use them all the time....❤
Hi Luke, loves your vlogs thank you so much ❤ We have Farrow & Ball colours throughout our whole home except we use a Valspar V700 paint in a satin finish. The paint is mixed at the counter in our local B&Q from a F&B swatch card & the colours are an exact match but the paint is very forgiving & durable. We have De Nimes in the hall, Pigeon in the lounge, Oxford Stone in the dining room, Dead Salmon in the downstairs loo, bathroom, ensuite & utility room. Sulking Room Pink is adorable in our bedroom & Jitney in the remaining 3 bedrooms. We had Card Room Green in our kitchen but felt it was too cold so settled on Picture Gallery Red but that has proved to be too dark as our kitchen is north facing, so, tomorrow our painter & decorator returns to re-paint the kitchen walls in our favourite Sulking Room Pink.........3rd time lucky! Let's hope we like it 😂 xx
NO Full dark. You have beautiful light. If you are a summer person, ou really may regret, caise depression with full dark. Enjoy your decoating. Keep safe
I agree, I had painted my living room walls a very dark green. I had to change it to a light color after a while, didn't knew how sensitive I was to the dark moody feel in an active living space. My bedroom is very dark and I love it.
From what I can see in your house Luke, It is in the kitchen you get the most light, so I would be careful in the living room. BUT maybe it is a lot brighter in there in real life :)
Re watching this vlog and I quite like the the eating room red that would look great on one wall and would compliment your 2 leather chairs. Little Green paint is good.
The library room would be good with the accent wall.
I used the paint mix at b and q just took a sample in and it was brilliant, worth exploring
Luke can't wait for the decorations , lucky Zara buying her fiat convertible she will have such fun.One day watched it so sad thoroughly enjoyed didn't want it to end.x
Farrow & Ball’s new dead flat emulsion is beautiful. Just did our bedroom in green smoke, ceiling in dead salmon and woodwork in down pipe. Love it all!
Also congratulations to Zara for getting a Fiat 500. I have one and it is perfect! ♥️
this may be contensious but i recently painted the bedroom with Wilkos tough white
it was a lovely paint to use i would alway use it from now on comes in all colours you can find it on line or sometimes at the range x
I use farrow and ball to paint furniture and i have noticed it's not as robust as it used to be but they do some amazing colours.
Zara your new car sounds lovely glad Maggie loves it.x
Lovely bit of piano playing :)
Hi Luke. What a lovely relaxing video I really enjoyed it and so nice to see the gorgeous 🥰 Maggie she really is adorable and it makes my day when you show her in your videos. I’m like you I’m all about summer I suffer from SAD so the autumn/winter is a real struggle for me especially living where I do in Scotland. I love the light nights and sunny mornings hearing the birds singing, love the cherry blossom 🌸 too. Can’t wait to see Zara’s new car it sounds lovely. Have a great week ❤️
Hi Luke. Wonderful video. May I suggest you get a potting bench for outside. It will make your potting up the plants so much easier. Have a wonderful week
Good piano playing
We have had a dark burgundy hall for years, with a sandy colour above it up the stairs and landing above.
Our lr and dr are a sage green, and the small hall with guest loo and laundry room are all a dusty
We also painted every last piece of molding, trim, and woodwork bits in an off white, so much warmer looking than stark white.
We love it!
Go for the dark colours!
There is too much beige, white and grey in houses nowadays.
❤ from 🇨🇦
As someone who has also owned a Fiat 500C it was the best car! So so fun!
I enjoyed journeying with you ❤️
Going with the flow is important ❤️
Congratulations Zara on your fiat 500
Best vlog ever...Leonard Cohen on the piano...awesome
Valspar within B&Q will paint match any farrow and ball colours :D
The self watering pots are great. On quick crops, they do self watering tomato pots, which you can use for anything. Also, tomato grow bag slef watering pots. They last for 2 weeks
Luke some paint shops will mix you Farrow and ball colours with trade paint. Also once your daffodils finish you need to dead head them and put pebbles in bottom of pot for drainage .😊x
Morning Luke , you never waffle in your vlogs . We all love a chatty update vlog.
Maggie has such a pretty pupping looking face, bless her. ❤🐶
All the plant look nice but I still think it is still a bit frosty and cold to plant spring plants as yet. I think your clock would look better on the wall between the doors , where your plates are on the wall . I think the brick red ‘ Etonroom Red’ would look the best the one you are swaying towards ‘ preference red ‘ would make the room look too dark . Don’t go too dark in your house Luke.
Your piano playing was lovely and relaxing . You short do a vlog with you playing some tunes. This is going to be such a great hobby for you to learn Luke.
Hope you both have a great week a head. 👍👍
I so agree, staying at home is the best🇨🇦
Sunday's with Luke and a latte grest start to a sunday.glad you have a garden now love to see you in the garden. Pleased you have a new car Zara enjoy all your journeys. ❤😂❤
Binge watched all 14 episodes of One Day yesterday! So good.
I love your videos you are amazing young man x
Loved One Day. Chemistry between the two characters is so good and the writing and acting is incredible. Hated for it to end. I didn't read the book...reviews weren't that great, said it was slow. Tricky on paint selection. I think it might be best to splurge and get a color specialist. They have pretty good ideas. I hired one to select colors and I did the painting and was so happy. Good luck! Not sure if narcissist will bloom two years in a row. Tried it myself and found they didn't bloom 2nd year. Not sure why...love your vlogs!
Zara, “I think you’re best places on the floor” 😂😂
Lovely vlog as ever . You are my fav Sunday morning watch, along with a caramel Latte. ❤
You can have it colour matched at B&Q in vaspar to the exact colour and the paint is really good
Catching up with your vlogs because i was on holiday
Morning luke ,ive just watched iwans video on his renovation ,,what a beautiful job ,love it ,oh i cannot wait to get into my garden ,,im from manchester ,so still a bit wet and cold ,so my garden still too wet to go into 😢i also hate the dark nights ,i love the light ,sunny days love them cannot wait ,,have a great day my love ❤
I love rooms with color! Color gives rooms such warmth and character. Have you checked Benjamin Moore paint? I know it is being sold in the UK now. My dad swore by it and said it was easy to use and excellent coverage. Don't know if you follow Nicholas Fairford but he painted his living room in mouse's back, I think. He has changed it again but it was so pretty. It's great to learn to read music...it will give you more flexibility when you want to learn new pieces/ Congrats to Zara on her new car!!
You can choose a farrow and ball colour and get the Valspar paint at B&Q. I love Fiat 500, can’t wait to see it. Like, I can’t find your creme brulee recipe. Loving how the house is looking.xx
Cant believe its spring there. We have ours in April-May🇨🇦
Luke, kee your eye on Costco this year - we got a HUGE mature olive tree for £89 last spring… it’s beautiful. Pop your bulbs in the ground after they’ve flowered they’ll coke back year after year and they spread and multiply ❤
I’ve just used farrow and ball estate emulsion for a bedroom, I was warned against it by professionals. Yep, they were right. It’s comes out patchy. Best idea which I should have listened you, colour match it by Valspar. Happy decorating.😌
I miss the white clock that used to be on the wall. 😢
Can't wait to see the paint you pick out for the rooms.
