The small strings may have been used to string herbs to dry.
Just came here to say the same thing!
This!
Jup. Def for herbs.
i think so, too.
Yes, and for drying lavender & wildflowers. 🥰
Maybe the strings in the kitchen are for drying herbs because for that you hafe to hang them just look it up in the internet it actually looks pretty cool
That’s what I was thinking as well!
That's a smart idea! I'm gonna do that in my kitchen right now lol
If those are lillies on the side be very careful as they are super toxic to cats! My parents in law had a very ill cat recently after it had been poisoned with lilies. I'm so happy for your new house, looks so beautiful!
Good advice Olivia. Unfortunately my darling ginger puss died day after nibbling just a couple of lillies in a pot outside my kitchen door ! I had no idea they were so poisonous. Devastated...😿
@@juneprince-iles8390 I'm so sorry to hear that!! That is heartbreaking. Its not commonly known and there really isn't enough awareness at all. I am so sorry for your loss!
Your moving content is the only thing keeping me alive in lockdown at this point 😂❤️
Thank you!! Glad you're enjoying them as much as I am making them! xx
Legit can relate
@@stani.k OMG girrls - this comment is soo sweet!! ahahaha
It is so beautiful, I live for these video with the lovely views, and the beach they go for their walk is wow 😍
Try watching chateau diaries too
Are those lillies on your table? If they are, please be careful and keep Zeus and Frankie away from them! Lillies are incredibly toxic (even deadly) to cats. Aside from that, your new house looks absolutely gorgeous and I can't wait to see the tour!
Yes, even if they get some of the pollen on their fur, and then groom themselves afterward, they can get dangerously ill. I hope Madeleine sees your comment!
As you were waking up in your new home, I had an image of the new owners of your last cottage waking up thinking the same thing about that home you guys put so much care and love into, just like the new one you're in now. What a lovely thought! :) (Cue circle of life LOL)
Madeleine: We're moving
Everyone: ARE YOU MAD? Your house is amazing.
Madeleine: Here's my new house.
Everyone: ... Oh, okay. This decision made perfect sense, yes. BRAVO.
“Brava” for female, “bravi” for a heterosexual couple.
@@Italiana911 Bravo in Spanish (I think hahaha I'm not sure)
@@Italiana911 Bravo used in the English way of saying well done. It’s not common to use gendered versions of words like in Spanish or Italian.
Facts
@@Italiana911 you must be fun at parties
I‘m just 4 minutes in but I love how happy and content you seem in the part where you’re sitting on the sofa with your cute little mug. I‘m so happy for both of you!
Thank you! Feeling very happy and content for sure! xx
How lovely ,living in a Cornish cottage with sash windows and granite walls,the myths leggends of old Cornwall,the Atlantic,never having to leave that magical place , a dream come true.
Those little strings on the ceiling would be perfect for hanging and drying bundles of herbs.
How happy she was when she pulled the mug out of the box
Your first house was lovely but this looks absolutely stunning, I can’t wait for the full tour. I love the kitchen it’s such a fabulous space and so cosy, just imagine how perfect Christmas will be with the fire on and a lovely meal surrounded by your picture perfect home 🥰
I remember when we moved, I had very hard time to unpack and organize because, like you said, I wanted to put everything in their « final optimal » place and not putting everything at a temporary location. Maybe it’s because I am lazy and I hate to organize. Maybe it’s because we moved to a place we finally own. I just wanted to take time to think about a perfect place for EACH thing we own to avoid clutter, cupboard filled with mess and objects always changing places because they didn’t had their proper storage location. But in reality, we lacked from storage (moving to a rental furnished appartement to an empty bigger appartement) and I can say, 5 months after that we are almost completely done ! We still miss a few things like bedside tables and a built in storage in the entryway but almost everything in the house has a designated spot and we removed the last moving boxes last month and it felt SO GOOD!
I love that in the last place you had to put tackling the kitchen off, but you are getting to start with it in the new home. Must feel very satisfying.
I'm living vicariously through you. I am in the middle of renovating my home and have been since I moved in 6 years ago. I wish i had the funds to just pay someone to do it all now but I have to do it a bit at a time.
Absolutely love what I am seeing from your new home. Can´t wait to see the whole house! You look so happy and relaxed.
My dear, please be careful with the lilies on the kitchen table. They are highly toxic for cats. Even a tiny bit of the pollen can kill them.
I was about to mention the same thing!
Who wants a sneak peak? www.madeleineolivia.co.uk/blog/sneak-peak-into-our-georgian-country-home-in-cornwall
Me, me, me! It's looking so homey already! Congrats on the new house :D
Wow it's beautiful 😻
I absolutely, positively LOVE it! It’s just so serene. The lighting....the way your things fit so beautifully. Just love it all! Congratulations to you and Alex!!!
Hi Madeleine, congratulations to you and Alex, from what we've seen so far, you new home looks amazing. Just to make you aware, if you're not already, I noticed you have lilies on your kitchen table, they are highly toxic to cats. It's not advisable to have lilies in your home with cats. Just thought I would let you know. All the best in your new home.
So dreamy 😍
Alex dancing in the kitchen is definitely the highlight of my day omfg so pure
the color of the kitchen cabinets is so gorgeous! I love when kitchens have a pop of color
I kind of do what you are talking about (putting things away “perfectly” first time) but I really don’t like redoing things that could be done “correctly” the fist time. Like yes you can throw them where ever and go back to redo, but why?? A little extra planning at the beginning means one time to do what I consider very annoying tidying up lol
I agree!
I have a surefire way to make moving day easier. I write the room name on a package label and pack everything wrapped up in huge plastic tubs with lids, then use a colored magic marker and draw a big colored dot on each label...according to the color assigned for each room. Before movers haul boxes in...I have taped correct color dot ...cut from construction paper...on each room's door or entrance wall. Say, blue for bathroom, orange for living room, etc. The movers look at label color dot...take it to the room that has same color dot on its door. Easy, right? No hefty boxes for homeowners to move from one room to another later...because it got jumbled up. Also, at afternoon of closing...I get our new key and go clean the empty house, then put toaster oven, coffee pot and mugs on counter. In bathroom, put towels, soap, shampoo, robes...hair dryer and toilet paper...all set. We set up the bed and mattress, make it up with sheets, blanket, pillows, a lamp etc.... then stay the night in our new home. Set the alarm clock, have a quiet night's sleep in your new home....waking up to a great smooth start for movers coming. Pack a bag, bring a couple lamps, extra lightbulbs and flaslight....all set for big moving day in morning. It lets you have some quiet, wind down the night before...and feel prepared, with a lets get to it attitude in the next day when movers are coming. You could also make and freeze a few meals ahead of time, then pop all that in an ice chest and put it in new frig and freezer at new house night before movers arrive. A couple bags of ice put in bottom of one of those big plastic tubs allows you to load all frig food items over in one haul. can haul vanity and bedroom drawers inside them too, with items still in drawers. Jyust cushion with towels or rolled sheets...no dings or scratches. When you unpack, just put drawers back in...all ready to go...and towels go in linen closet in adjoining bathroom. Little things like that save a lot of time. I use my "extra pillows and blankets" as cushioning in bottom of big tubs. blanket folded at bottom of tub, pillows on side. Paper plates between stacks of plates, then painters tape wound round the stack, use small washclothes or kitchen towels as buffers between stacks...dishes srrive fine, no chips or breaks. Dont pack in too tightly, just a little buffer between. I go to dollar store, buy clear plastic shoe box with lids...add my spices in one, undersink items for bath , kitchen, laundry, etc. add label for which room...put all little bins into a big tub with pots and pans, etc. filling it up test of way. Upon unpacking, you can quickly haul little clear boxes to bath, kitchen...put in right cupboard...all ready to store. Same way for siverware, linens, etc. More drawers you pack with stuff in the drawers....faster it gets put away. You can do "sorting" at leisure on rainy night...idea is get those drawers back into place for desks, bedroom chests etc.
I am loving your new home video. You new home looks amazing and the garden exciting and I cannot wait to see all you both do to make this home the way you want it to be. Love and good health to you. God bless your new home with much love and happiness.
By the way, I love your new kitchen. So nice a big. Wish mine was that big. 😘
The "issue" you have with wanting items in their rightful place makes sense to me. Why move things twice when you can think it through the first time and not make extra work? There's a term in home organization called OHIO - only handle it once.
The way you two forge ahead and “tackle” everything is incredible! I have been in my home for a bijillion years and the very thought of packing up and moving boggles the,mind. Actually it drives me to drink, to be honest! Things come into the house but nothing ever comes out although I do label and put things in clear plastic containers. But then .... they just pile up. You are sooo disciplined. As a result, your vlogs are inspiring! Looking forward to your next video!
I started decluttering with a 30day challenge where you get rid of one item on day 1, 2 on day 2....... until you get rid of 30 items on day 30. This process makes it really manageable. It might help you to declutter stuff you don’t need. I did it last month because I’m probably moving in autumn so I wanted to give myself a headsart and I’ve already planned on starting the whole process again In a few months. Plus you can always declutter some last minute pieces when packing
I loooooove what we've seen so far of your new house!!! And I too love the ridiculously long videos..At least I do from you guys!! Lol Can't wait for the full tour!!
It's 5am for me and I just had a cat jump in from a window and onto my face, waking me up, so I guess this is just as good a time as any to watch.
A cat jumped in through your window?? Holy shit, was it even yours?
Packing right now for my 10th move in my life. I agree...I hate packing, but love unpacking and settling in. It feels fun to "find the right spot" for each cherished item ...and am enjoying the excitement of watching a new house...become a loving, cozy home.
That thin string around room could be used for a climbing flowering vine, like morning glory or clematis or ivy. It would look beautiful with tiny "fairy lights" within the vines too. You can even use battery operated ones, tucking the baytery case behind the sitting potted plant base. Another thing done in kitchens of old...a strong thin rope or cable up high in tall ceilings was used as an indoor clothes dryer...the kitchen was warm from baking and cooking, windows were opened for a breeze...the clothes were high above your heads. A wooden wheel pully system on both ends of the line allowed for slowly letting slack in line, lowering dry clothes to be snatched off the line, and then other freshly laundered damp clothes hoisted back up. Wash day was usually Mondays and again Weds. if families were large. Baking was daily in our family home. Tuesday was cooking several meals and tidying up the house a bit. Monday and Weds. was washday with leftovers for supper. Thursday was canning, sewing, working garden. Market day was Saturday, cleaning whole house then catching up with sewing,, and perhaps a quick visit. Sunday was church and day of rest, with a nice fancier meal for dinner...and all the Aunts, Uncles, grandparents, kids and cousins coming together at a family home each Sunday afternoon.
Somehow something of your Brighton days energy has returned with this house. It’s wonderful to see you so happy and it looks like a DREAM. Can’t wait to see all the renovations 🤓
It’s because I’m happy 😊 we are happy! The last house was beautiful but we went through a lot of hard times there. Excited for the next chapter here xx
Congrats on the new home! So excited for upcoming house stuff!
Thank you! So am I!! xx
Your last home was lovely but Your new home is beautiful. Reminds me of a home on the show Escape to the Country! I have been an “armchair traveller, visiting”
Cornwall and the nearby Isles of Scilly, especially during my hormonal homesickness days! A Brit in the US! Your cottage is perfect. Views are amazing. I can’t wait to continue enjoying your lifestyle vlogs. Btw creating recipes in that lovely kitchen will be a joy to watch..
What a gorgeous house and countryside.
Are the strings meant to hang herbs, for drying them? That would be my first guess, too.
That grass outside looks so so soft I just want to walk in it barefooted and lay in it all day soaking in the sun and listening to birds
It's amazing how quickly a house starts to feel like a home
The garden! The high ceilings! The sash windows! I can only dreeeeam of having a house so beautiful for now 😂 much love x
I love your new home. The chandelier in the dining area is beautiful. I wish you many years of joy and happiness. :)
This new kitchen is huge & GORGEOUS.
So happy seeing how happy you are 💖
I'm drooling over your kitchen! SO dreamy! I would live in that room.
I was dying with laughter, when the video started I had an add for sun basket with a hobbbit hole and was like geez your new house!
Welcome to your forever home both. Wishing you every happiness xx
I always thought the kitchen was the heart of the home. It's so aesthetically pleasing. I love it. You're home is beautiful. 🥰

Wow what a beautiful new home! And Roxy has a fantastic huge new garden ❤️❤️
I'm so excited to see the tour! It was weird because when you released your moving video, I had just got my offer on a cute little cottage accepted! So I have been binging all your old reno videos for inspiration but now I can't wait to see what you do with this house!! Its beautiful.
My grandma used to hang christmas cards along the ceiling like that (with a ribbon though instead of a string)
Your new house is gorgeous from what you have shared so far. Best wishes to you, Alex and the pets in this lovely new home!
So excited to see the whole house 🤗🤗🤗
I can't believe how beautiful your house is!!! Loving these moving vlogs and can't wait for all the new house content xxx
My jaw dropped when you showed the garden 😍😍 stunning
I'm so happy for you two! I know I mention this whenever I comment on a video or on your Instagram, but having been following you since your 'vlog a day' in the very beginning, when you were living in a suite at your parents' place and working a full time desk job -- to seeing you two now supporting yourselves through your passion projects and now living in the SWEETEST CORNISH home is so beautiful. Look at what you've done Maddy, its incerdible!
Wishing you both Happy days in your new home 😌🙏🌈
Cant wait for a full house tour! I’m in love with your new kitchen 😍
30 seconds into this video seeing you guys in your new home I can tell this home is for you! ♥️
Gorgeous home and the backyard is so beautiful
Exciting times, not just for you but for us viewers too. It looks amazing and I bet Roxie loves the garden ☺️
Just from the little bit that I've seen of your new home I am IN LOVE!! Definitely my dream home style!
Stunning! The view of your backyard is epic and your kitchen looks like a dream. Enjoy getting to know your new home. xx
