moving into our new house & making it home!

Mar 10, 2024
foreigner Hello guys, welcome back to my channel, welcome back to a new video that I just prepared myself, possibly one of the best coffees, not the same. You catch me in my kitchen, which probably looks good, it definitely looks very, very different than it was before. I saw it I'm going to leave my coffee in case I spill it yeah you catch me in our new place in our new mistake like people say in Yorkshire um but yeah we're in our new place it sounds a lot better yeah I'm I'm excited to show you around today is going to be a very, very quiet day working from

home

and I got up very early.
moving into our new house making it home
I think it's like the transition between

moving

from my mom and dad's

house

to here. I get up early. Don't know. I know what it's like when you like to live with your mom and dad, but it seems like if you get a little sleep, it doesn't really matter because they're going to wake you up or put you back up like they're going to. I'm sure everything is fine, whereas when you live alone, obviously I'm with Alex, but he's gone to work now, if I don't get up, you know, no one will come look at my door and wake me up, so I'm looking forward to it.

More Interesting Facts About,

moving into our new house making it home...

Naturally, I'm getting up a little earlier or just listening to my alarm when I should, which is probably a good thing since I'm ready to get up early, have a nice cough, sit in my living room, but yeah, a little of a setting to wake up at 7 a.m. when you work from

home

. I feel like a long time ago when working from home was a novelty. I slept until I logged on in the middle of the night, you know what I mean, but how times have changed, um anyway. I hope everyone is there. I don't know what that noise was.
moving into our new house making it home
I hope everybody is fine. I hope you haven't missed me too much since my last Vlog, it was quite a while ago, it's been a couple of weeks now. I've been meaning to Vlog ever since, but with

moving

and changing this kitchen it's been pretty hectic, so yeah, I'll quickly show you the kitchen because I feel like this is the biggest transformation I've ever really shown. YouTube and obviously the rest of the

house

I kept offline while we changed rooms so you've probably seen things on Tick Tock but this is what the kitchen looks like now, wait for a bit of concentration, here we go.
moving into our new house making it home
So yeah, if you can remember, before it had a suspended ceiling, so it was like it was falling off the ceiling all the time, but now we obviously have a proper ceiling and this section here is my favorite, we chose a black light. it's so bad and we went with a black fridge freezer which I'm actually a bit obsessed with because we combined it with the black extractor and I feel like this little section here fits very very well the tiles are quite a stem. and also quite dark and the details on them are actually like a forest green, but then this little section here on each tile is black, so I feel like that ties everything together.
I'm pretty obsessed with this section of the kitchen. and I just love it and then this huge window is, I mean, it's amazing, so yeah, this is the kitchen, um in case you're wondering why some of the dolls have panels and some don't, it's just because we, in a way we did this ourselves like this was actually the kitchen that was there before it's not a new kitchen so we just did a little bit of improvisation on this and we couldn't panel it like it literally couldn't be paneled a panel there about that. door and then open the closet, if you know what I mean, like the closet doesn't actually open with a panel on top, so it seems a little improvised, like some have done it and some haven't, but not really I hate it.
I think it actually looks good, people who come to visit obviously know that we took the old kitchen and modernized it so people don't look at it like, "Oh my God, you've got a new kitchen and some of the doors." They don't agree as if everyone knew that this was a bit of a cheap project. um the tiles that we used, um like these, they're actually the same as our bathroom tiles, we had some left over so we just used the same ones as is. It's been a bit of a budget project this kitchen and I'm actually not mad about it at all.
I think this is one of my favorite rooms now. I just love the cabin. Vibrations. I thought about buying shelves. Simply open the shelves. the top instead of having the two units, but we don't really have a lot of closet space and this jaw here fits like a big pantry under the stairs, so we have quite a bit of food in there, so yeah, like with all of our appliances and things like we lost a lot of closet space and the people who used to live here basically had their kitchen over that window, so in the last YouTube video that you might have seen, you might have seen kitchen units. from the window, so we opened it and I don't know, I feel like this room is so bright now and so homey and rustic, and I feel like it felt pretty closed off when they put the tall units upstairs, yeah.
I'm completely obsessed, I literally come here every morning and think I love this little joint, it's so nice, but yeah, I'm going to have my coffee, I'm going to lean into the living room and you'll win too. I haven't gotten a good look at it, you may have seen pictures on my Instagram if you follow me, but of course why is it so dark? But yes, you would have seen any proper tour as a proper tour of this room. In fact, let me have some coffee um, this is not the tidiest room. I just like to go around

making

things look a little tidy now, but this is basically our new couch.
I mean, that's really embarrassing. It doesn't work where we have SAT?, but you understand. Essentially this is the new sofa and we have the matching little poop fair to go with it so yeah I think it goes very very well with the panel and then we have the other little surfer that I showed you in my last Vlog. here only temporarily until we move it to the dining room and then the only other new thing in here is the rug. It's actually crazy how a rug can change a room. I underestimated how much a rug would make this room feel like home, but as soon as we installed the rug, I thought, "Oh my God, I couldn't." It sounds so ridiculous, but if you ever want to renovate a house or go without carpet for a while or you just have floorboards, like floorboards are really hard. standing and it just doesn't feel homey to wear them as sneakers in your own living room, so as soon as we put the rugs up I was like, "Oh my god, I'm obsessed, so yeah, the only other thing I feel like I have." All I've done in this talk but I actually have a lot to say for once.
I feel like I got to a place where my Vlogs were just me getting ready and then just chatting a little bit and then that was it. It's kind of like that, so it actually feels good that I have a lot to say and I also have a lot to do. I like it, in general, in life I have a little more to do, like clean my house. and

making

sure everything is done so that I can make nice home Vlogs, the ones I like to watch basically, anyway, what was I saying, oh yeah, um, almost everything else is done, the only thing we're waiting for to happen soon is the finalist. the stairs, so we have the rug there ready to be cut to the size of the runner, we're just waiting for our fear to come in and, um, cut it and then if you're going to buy a runner rug, if it's not on top If you find this extremely boring, so jump, but you need to beat the mat basically on the edge of the mat so that it's not just torn, you need to send it and beat it, so we need to do it like Okay, then we'll get it into shape, so there's still quite a bit left.
I think there's a couple more weeks waiting for that to happen, so yeah, that's the current thing as an ongoing thing that's not quite finished, but it didn't bother us that much. at the end of the world having floorboards on the stairs, well it's not completely dust free, we've been struggling a lot in this house with dust and trying to get rid of it is just an absolute nightmare so we're like getting there to the point where nothing else is done in the house that creates more dust, as if we were tiling the kitchen ourselves. I'm talking budget, like we literally do everything ourselves, but even Thailand generates a lot. of dust with the grunt and the adhesive and stuff, so yeah, we don't have anything left for the dust to make, which means that when we like to walk, it's becoming less and less reliable to stand on, so yeah. that's my update welcome to the new place uh I don't want to do the right thing this is a host tour video because I feel like I've been away for quite a while and people are probably saying we want to watch Aaliyah Vlog.
Instead of just showing you my house like an alien, sir, this is also a lot of fun. I don't know if any of you feel the same, but when Zoe Sugg bought her and Alfie's new house years ago, I was always hoping for a proper tour of the house, but we never had one and I completely respect that. I feel like I've already seen it at her house anyway, just because of the amount of videos she uploads and you following people around houses when they're talking and stuff. I don't feel like she was very secretive about it but I remember when she bought it and I was wondering why she's not doing a proper house tour like most YouTubers would and I think just for privacy reasons she didn't want to. and I also feel like for her this isn't the case for me, but I think she was nervous about bursting out because she obviously has an absolute mansion, like this is a pretty traditional British house.
Living there is nothing like it, it's not a mansion, so I wouldn't worry too much. I think people would think I'm bursting at the seams, but for the two reasons above, yeah, I'd like it to be okay to not like knowing the layout. of the house, I mean, to be honest, once I uploaded a couple of Vlogs of mine how to do things around the house, you probably say: yeah, I know what the layout of that house is like, you know what I mean, so no it's the end of the world, but yeah, I just didn't want to sit properly this is the living room this is the dining room like I don't know I just don't want to do that for some reason maybe I will one day so um, I'm No, that It will be good.
I'll just do a lot of Home Vlogs. I feel like that's going to be my content plan for the foreseeable future because that's my life, like getting used to doing things around the house and having challenges in your own house. Seriously underrated, I feel like when I lived with my mom and dad, I mean, I had a lot of days at home. Let's be clear, I've made a lot of home vlogs, but with this house I feel like when I'm filming it's like, oh, I actually designed this. This room is how I wanted it, you can see a little more of me in the house and it's nicer, so yeah, I'm actually a sub.
I was interested in doing a cleaning video one day, like decluttering my closets and doing a little cleaning. maybe as a sunday update video. I watch a lot of them on Tick Tock and it would probably work better on Tick Tock, but YouTube is just my little Homeland, you know what I mean, another thing I wanted to mention before, well, I mean, moving on with the Vlog, the Vlog is very good because we've been there for like 13 minutes. I've been trying for so long. Thank you very much for all the love in the last Vlog. It really meant a lot, but obviously I didn't upload it. long and then when I did it I got several messages like DMS saying I loved the Vlog so let's see more it was just lovely I also got a couple of comments and yeah it was really nice.
I feel like I was a little nervous about coming back. -upload and anyway here we are and I can't stop talking so I soon got used to it, how would I do it? But yeah, I hope you enjoy this Vlog. I actually don't know what the premise of this Vlog is or what. I'll even call it because I just wanted to do a Vlog in my new home, maybe I'll call it the first Vlog in my new house, oh my new mistake, but yeah, I'll log in real soon and start working, but yeah. I hope you all enjoy this Vlog.
Your guess is as good as mine as to why I'm filming next so yeah, thank you so much for tuning in again and enjoying so it'll be a little bit later and I thought you guys would know what. Better way to spend my lunch hour than sorting through things I forgot I bought. I don't know if any of you are going to buy the Journey house, but if you are and you're looking for a house or if you've ever done it, you know it's not a short process, so because it took us, it almost took us a whole year for the whole process, so that whole year we were buying bits of things like we were buying our Smeg, uh oh.
OMG it's so brilliant The Smeg kettle is like the kettle and toaster long before we moved. Honestly, I think if we had waited until we had this place when we were obviously spending quite a bit of money, I don't think we would have done it. They've gone for expensive appliances, but since we bought them before, it was like the money was already gone, like we already had the stuff, so it was pretty nice anyway, that's not the point. The point I'm trying to get at is that I actually bought quite a bit before I had the place, soI'm rediscovering what we really buy.
Basically, slowly but surely, I'm going through everything and finding little places for everything. I'll just put them here, hopefully that'll be a great angle, hopefully that'll stick. One thing we got that I had completely forgotten about was this little tin of English tea, so it had a lot of tea bags, which I'm going to put in our tea carafe and in this I'm going to put little wads of hot chocolate and stuff. , so that later, if people want a little bit of something different, it can go in the special can. I've also been saving some of these that are tea tea teas, so this is basically, I think it's some kind of Canadian brand, but they kindly gave me a couple of sets of their tea and they're like a hibiscus tea.
I mean the look of the packaging, which is beautiful, there were three different flavors. in every game, but my friend, who also recently bought a house, is obsessed with hibiscus tea. I immediately thought, "You have to try one of these," so I gave him one, so the ones I have left are peach and hibiscus and this one is cherry. I'm not even going to try to pronounce that word, but it says chill chill out Cherry, so yeah, I think they look pretty enough to have on the windowsill, so I think I'll leave them there. I was planning on putting them in this, but I feel like it's super traditional and not the kind of thing you'd expect to be in an herbal or hibiscus infusion, so I'll put them maybe up here, yeah, perfect, I'll show you.
In a second, another thing I just pulled out is these little bars, and I mean, they're not really bars, it's more of an old bottle almost completely deformed. I don't know if it shows on the camera, but I think when I understood it, it was recycled glass. I got this from, oh, we both got it from one of the Vintage shows. I mentioned them a couple of times like on Instagram and stuff. We also got this print from a Vintage Fair. A cooperative tea. fill the nation's teapot, I love it, I think it's great, and we also have a couple of different pieces and Bobs, we have some really nice ones, like taper candles, but they already went out, I don't know, like the first weekend, so yes. um I rediscovered this, I think it would be really cute for gypsophilia however you pronounce it, but for now I think I'm going to put it on top of the refrigerator, maybe I'll have a big one there, in fact my friend bought me like a big version of that, so it's obviously my taste, I don't know about you, but my grandma's stores store their bars on top of her refrigerator and I kind of stole that little trick like it's actually a really nice place to to exhibit.
The bases like some of the vases I have are so beautiful that I want to put them out, but obviously I'm not going to buy like 10 bouquets of flowers to fill each bar every week, so I just put them out like I want them, so I have both. I can't really see them very well, but I have that's the large version and the small version and that print, by the way, like cake, is from HomeSense and my best friend. I bought it for myself so are the big bars, note these two little Toby jugs from my grandma and grandpa's house so they mean a lot to me to have them there which is why they are currently in the fridge looking down .
In us, this is where I have decided to put the tea shirts on the shelves. In fact, I think they go there. I'm not 100 sold on this fake plant, but it was all we had. Another thing that it really is not. something I bought a long time ago, I bought it recently, but how cute is this little one. I think it's like an oil jug, but you could use it for literally anything, you could display it, which is what I have. Now, this is from Primark. Primark at home. Primark at home. I've got some awesome bits and pieces in Totally Obsessed, so I'm going to fill this little tin with hot chocolates and bits and Bobs, which is pretty much my lunch break.
I also need to prepare some real lunch too. I don't really know what I'm in the mood for. I'm so sorry about all the vegetables, but I'm currently making a honey mustard chicken dish. I'm going to add peas and I have some spinach. the refrigerator to add later I am a beginner in the kitchen. I am not going to lie. I cooked a lot when I went to college, just like I cooked a lot then, but that was years ago and I feel like I know how to cook basics like I'm very good at cooking chicken like roasting chicken, but it's the big recipe type that I am, I just don't know many.
I don't have many recipes up my sleeve ready to cook if you want. I know what I'm talking about, so I'm learning the different ingredients that go together well and then I think I'll eventually get to the point where I can make something together that day if I want, while right now. I really like to prepare what I am doing in advance and be very organized. I just found this recipe on Where did I find it? BBC good food or good meals. They have some really good recipes and they aren't that difficult. The thing is, I don't want to make a ton of complicated recipes right now.
I feel like it's best to start simple and then get more complicated as you go. Yes, that's what I'm going to make for tea tonight and I'll keep doing it. You updated how that goes, so this is the final result. I'm very pleased with the fact that it looks like there are a million pieces to this, but there really isn't, it's not a very deep tin, so yeah, we're going to have this with some couscous. and I've been buying these too, we only have one left, so there's only one there, but this one is a Focaccia Rosemary and rock Soul um roll, so it's nice to have them on the side, so I'll give it to Alex.
I don't mind having one of those today and yes, that is tea. Hello and welcome to another day, another day, another sunrise, it's been a couple of days since I last wrote a vlog. In fact, I think it's like a week or something. I just opened the dishwasher and I'm sorry, but who is with me on this that a dishwasher should have a small drying function? That could be one thing and maybe I just haven't read the manual properly, but when I want to, I have to. unload the dishwasher, everything is always still wet so I'm a bit like that so I decided to leave it hanging and wait for it to air dry.
I guess I wanted to show you the dining room because I've been cleaning in here, I've been cleaning the floor, other than this random little cloth swinging around here. um I just wanted to show you what our dining room would look like because I don't actually think there is I showed you this room in the Vlogs, but excuse all this stuff, it needs to be moved and put away and the books are out there because I'm going to install two shelves like the ones. that were placed tonight. You might notice there are some books in there and that's literally because we're setting up some shelves this afternoon so I think I'm just going to put books and things in there but yeah this is pretty much the dining room that you may have seen on my Instagram our Thailand so this is what it looks like look out into the garden yes this is our dining room to be fair it's a pretty big room so I'm really excited to get into wall decorating not decorate the walls, like put on the walls and stuff, we're also going to have that brown server that's currently in the living room here, so I should make it have a little less echo because I don't know if it's noticeable, but it's echoing quite a bit here, yes.
I literally also just saved some flowers that had pretty much died, but I like to have flour in the middle of the table, but they just aren't there right now, that's our table, which is from Facebook and believe it or not. It was 60 60 pounds. I think it's a bargain. If you ask me, I honestly have the cutest little things to share with you. You're probably thinking what is that she's holding, but I ordered right, this isn't very bougie. I'm not going to lie, I'm basically having a mini housewarming with my girls and I wanted to buy some cute napkins, but I couldn't decide which ones to buy, so I ordered three.
I ordered three different types, obviously I'm not going to use them all at the same dinner. I'll be using them probably for the next year or so, but the first batch I got with these has a little pasta guide with the different types of similar pasta and then it just says underneath what Well, we're going to have men's pasta, so I thought why not? . I also bought these, which I think are my favorite because they are simple but very cute, they say food, friends and good times. I mean, say no more. I also bought these. They probably won.
I don't use them I just couldn't not get them because they're kind of a dad joke. Vibe, look at these, you're super bright. Oops, I'll put them up maybe at Christmas, when people have soup as a starter, something like that. Please like this video if you appreciate it as much as I do, but yeah, these are pretty cheap from hm. There was also 15 off so I think they were like a pound fifty or something each so I feel like little touches like when you go to someone's house for dinner it just makes you not like that it's the little things for me It's the little things Dinners are such a thing of mine like the idea of ​​having a dinner is just a little bit of me, cute little cards with people's names on them, like a couple of candles, cooking good food, just eating, chatting, drinking all night, it's a bit of me, like being in the comfort of someone's home, so I really want to start with that, and also how incredibly cute it is.
I can't remember if it's from Card Factory or Morrisons because when I bought it I was nervous that it wouldn't fit on the mantelpiece so I took it straight out of the packet and I mean it fit straight away and then I just threw the packet away and for me life I can't remember where it's from, so if any of you are going to ask if it's Chiropractic or Morrisons, that's one of them too, which I'm pretty sure isn't very helpful, but yeah, I just love it. I love its simplicity. I think it's so cute. Wow, there's going to be a clean cut from the living room to the bedroom, but my camera's damn battery is dead again.
I think I'm having some serious problems because I just was. vlogging without recharging the batteries God, The Fringe is not in shape, I haven't really been charging my camera batteries because my charger has been in transit so I haven't really charged much and obviously I thought my camera battery was just invincible and it was going to last forever, so I used up all my batteries and then I was like, "okay, okay, I literally have no more life now." Thank you very much for watching. I hope you enjoyed this video and yes, don't forget it. like and subscribe and see you very soon bye
