Emily & Matt should have a fixer up show!
I agree
Biggest regret for us was putting pax wardrobes from IKEA in our bedroom, they are massive, they dominate the room and the doors fell off within a couple of years. Best thing we did was create a laundry room. The garage was converted into a extra room by the previous owners and we didn't really have a purpose for it but we put the dryer in there with baskets and big clothes horses and I love the fact that it's not all in my kitchen and I can shut the door on it đ
Fellow dog owner here- really jealous of your outside dog wash area! You forget to mention about it right next to your pantry where you can put the muddy stuff straight in the wash! â€
That is such a good idea - shower controls not under the shower! Black window frames look stylish so the paint worked.đ
Your house is beautiful and so much thought has gone into it every detail is so lovely xx
Your home looks incredible, really love it.
My husband has put those light sensors in our hallway when you come in the door. which is great especially in winter when itâs dark early and you open the front door and the light comes on, stops trying to find the light switch when itâs dark.
Xx
Regarding mood lights, we have light bulbs (here in Sweden) that connects to an app and fits any kind of lamp designed for that size of bulb. The fun thing with those are that you don't need a specific outlet or somesuch. It works anywhere. The one in our living room is just with dimmer but the one in the bedroom has different mood seytings and such. Kind of expensive bulb but sooo worth it. Also it is a LED so points for that ;)
If your washing machine seems especially noisy itâs always worth checking if it needs levelling ( the feet will adjust by screwing/unscrewing them). Often thatâs all thatâs needed. Those anti vibration mats youâve got look like a good idea too.
Love your breakfast bar đ My regret is a pergola over our hot tub, looks great (if you live in a hot dry climate) but should have gone for solid roof as it rains so much in uk đ€Šđ»ââïž
Loved this video we are starting a renovation very soon and this has given loads of great tips and insight â€
You two have worked so hard, we moved here yr and half ago and onto final room, the kitchen, taken longer than any other room as doing it ourselves eves n weekends â€â€
Amazing Bridie đ„°
Hi Emily and matt brilliant video as always you definitely shouldn't have any regrets your home is beautiful keep the videos coming you beautiful pair †xxx
We moved into our new build late last year. It is a house we designed to fit around the curve of the land. One of our best decisions was to combine the laundry and the family bathroom and to have the toilet in a separate powder room.
Yes! We only have one bathroom and had to renovate it. We decided to make a literal water closet inside, for the toilet. It's made having one bathroom manageable.
Thank you! So so useful. Weâre building our house right now, youâve given me some great ideas đ
Hi Emily. Love your home. The breakfast nook and the outdoor Kiki sink as I call it are my favorite. Take care. đ
Love watching all your stuff Emily . Weâve been renovating for 2 years now .. nothing as major as yours but weâre doing most of it ourselves and itâs driving me nuts now đ€Ș.. Iâm laughing because I was was about to suggest you hang the big rugs over your bed ( something I use to do when I had a four poster) itâs so handy ! I also had glass made for my table and am planning on ordering for the bedsides desks etc . Iâm taking lots of tips from you for my kitchen when it finally gets done ! Especially the breakfast/coffee station đ
Ah yours sounds amazing Kelly đ„° itâll be more than worth it xx
@@mrsemilynorris hope so ! Will probably move again once this is done , but that will be the last time hopefully đđ» x
Thanks Emily and Matt this was so helpful đđ»lovely genuine couple. Love from Scotland đŽó §ó ąó łó Łó Žó ż xxx
You guys are amazing. Your home is just so beautiful â€ïžâ€ïž
Your home is so beautiful đ I love the laundry room upstairs, such a genius idea!
Hey Emily, hope youâre all well. Iâm happy, good and well thank you good evening love this Top home investments and regrets video. Iâve really enjoyed this Top home investments and regrets things. I love your dress! The black cooker tap and the kitchen is beautiful! Glass on top of the dinning table is handy to clean with the spray wipe and done and other glass cleaners too. I have the limited edition pink tulips and white jasmine scent and definitely smalls so good. Washable rugs are incredible to throw into the washing machine once they are dirty. Electric switches next to the sofa to charge phones or laptops too. I have a 4 plugs lead next to our sofa, so it easy to charge laptops and phones while Iâm working on my laptop or phone. Chargeable mood lights make your downstairs look amazing at night time. Black window frames look great! The kitchen handles are so pretty and stunning. I love it when you put the shower dials next to the shelf and you donât get wet and soaked. I love the bathroom shelfâs folding celling looks brilliant. Also the bedroom windows look so nice. Rail in the laundry room is really cool. Heated radiators are really lovely. I have a heated radiator in my bathroom is so handy because to hang things up. The hocks in the laundry room are fabulous. Automatic lights are great but I donât have automatic lights in my bathroom. I have a normal light in my bathroom. I have drawers in my kitchen and they are so good to see what things I have at back of the drawers as well.

Emily please do a spring summer dress top 20 please †youâre so beautiful love your dress! we miss your fashion videos!! Love đ all of your videos itâs makes my day!!! Thank you so much â€
From American and most of these Iv never heard of or seen.!
Mind blown.!
So neat how different countries do things.! â€
Fab idea to do. My hubby has put up a rail in my utility room now to hang shirts etc on. X
the house looks so lovely! gonna take notes on some of these tips, thank you âđ»âđ»
itâs also just so cute to see you and your husband flirting and your face lighting up looking at him, relationships goals forever đ«
Loved the lighting tips Emily and Matt. Going to look into some battery type lamps for the lounge to make a cosy vibe at night. Not that l need more help falling asleep on the armchair đ Thanks, till next time đ
Love this type of video. Such good info.
The best thing we did when extending 35 yrs ago was put in a laundry chute in our en-suite which happens to be above the utility. Biggest regret is letting my DH talk me into a handle less kitchen and so many drawers! I envy you your outside sink and the external hot tap. Would love that.
Great idea! Thank you so much for watching xx
Very useful, thanks for sharing â€
You have such an incredible house, youâve honestly thought of everything! đ youâve inspired me to make ours a bit fancier so thank you!
đ„°đ
Great tips! I love the automatic lights in the bathrooms đ. âAiryâ had me laughing đ
The shower shelves are niche boxes and my husband is a tiler and often puts low ones near the ground to rest your foot in to shave your legs too!
A glass maker is a glazier đ
You have a beautiful homeđĄ and give me such inspiration. I'm looking at some hardened glass to protect our table (great idea). Did you request a certain depth and type of glass?
My Dad has always put toughened glass on all our table and table-like things... It's truly a game changer
Awsome Idea đĄ we have an automatic light switch for the bathroom saves some $$$ because with kids or even adults they forget to turn off the lights. And as always every one has the oh man I should of painted this color or done this rug but you live and learn and later on you can always change them when ware out đ
The sink outside is so clever â€
Shower control tip fabulous thank you x
Great tips Emily! Matt's comment about the four poster bed đ
Fabulous, good for you đđ»
Fab video! The shower taps are genius.
Have you ever thought about buying a fixer upper? x
Your home is beautiful especially your kitchen x
Thanks for sharing I have a usb powered sensor light in my bathroom from Amazon cheap and so handy
Lots of love from Greece â€
I need your wrap dress!
Always love your videos. Do you have underfloor heating downstairs? If so how do you do the floor sockets?
Great tips! Iâm seeing radiators in the background and it got me thinking, do you have underfloor heating anywhere in your house? Weâre considering it but itâs obviously pretty expensive⊠thanks!
I so regret doing the hall first instead of last, the paint is ruined! And a conservatory as itâs too hot in summer and too cold in winter plus itâs a nightmare to clean up đ
Yes weâve left the hall till last as Matt said itâll get so much traffic from trades so should be last, especially the landing and stair carpets x

Do you get mould or any moisture in the utility room when drying clothes/sheets? Wondered if you might have a humidifier or similar to fight against mould and mildew xx
We don't so far - we have a window in there that we open quite a bit xx
Hi Emily! Fab tips. Where are the black internal doors from please? đ
They're from Leader Doors. Thanks for watching xx

How does the glass topper stay in place?
Itâs so heavy it doesnât move xx
I love the idea of the glass topper on the table. But does it slide or is it heavy enough that it wont?
Your home is really beautiful†you did an amazing job!
It doesnât move at all as itâs so heavy xx
Does the table glass not slip around? X
Not at all as itâs so heavy x
Curious to why a lot of people in UK hang dry. Is it expensive to just fry all your things? Love love your laundry room!
Because the cost of electric and how expensive it is to run a tumble dryer in the UK so itâs nice to air dry :) My electric bill is currently ÂŁ343 pm, donât know what that is in dollars?
It's not common to use a clothes dryer in much of Europe. A huge perk is that clothes last longer when you just hang dry. And the energy bill of course. I spent over a decade in Germany; upon returning to the US, it feels weird to use a clothes dryer. I don't own one, even tho we're a family with small children.
In Australia it's much more common to line dry too. Only a recent thing for most people to have a dryer and most people only use theirs for bad weather etc
VERY expensive right now xx
The environment?!
Can you make a video of marriage advice after having kids please
How do you secure the glass topper on the furniture
We donât, itâs so heavy it stays in place x
@@mrsemilynorris I think I would have to have something to secure it just in case especially with kids x
@@kayleighjarrett9498 Trust me if it was movable or breakable my three boys would've by now!
Where are your bathroom tiles from? â€
Mandarin Stone xx

Is it okay to wash a dog everyday?
