I don’t care that I may sound soppy, but I genuinely had a lump in my throat of complete and utter happiness for you both. I’ve enjoyed your videos for a number of years, I’ve watched you “grow” and become this strong, beautiful, inspiring woman with many important messages to share. To see you in your dream home is a joy in itself. I know you’re incredibly grateful for everything you have but Darling, it’s YOU and Alex that has made this happen. Your hard work and dedication is paying off. I’m just so happy that I’m here to see you enjoying life. I Love You both. xxx
This is one of the sweetest comments ever! Thank you so much for being so lovely and supportive and kind! This comment has honestly made my day, my week! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
We can see that the whole family is so happy in the new house, but Roxie is especially cute in this video! Just want to pet her so much!
Was just going to say how adorable she is 🥰🙏🏼👏🏼
I was thinking the same thing. She's the most beautiful dog 😍
Yeah
The garden is simple but so naturally beautiful. Being able to grow you own veg is such a treat.
Such a treat! Can’t wait to get stuck in!
Isn't anyone going to comment on how HUGE this place is? The house! The garden! I was shocked when M. opened the little gate and ANOTHER garden popped up. SO happy for them! Just bought the cook book. Highly recommend it. Beautifully photographed. Great recipes. Lovely people. Lots of love from Majorca.
Me too I gasped when she opened the gate, I thought it was the neighbor's garden. Such a lovely place!
Thank you so much! So happy you love my cookbook! The wide angle lens definitely makes it look a little bigger but we are so so lucky for this incredible garden!
@@MadeleineOlivia is it a book or an e-book?
This garden is GORGEOUS! The thought of drinking a nice cup of tea in the morning in my PJS and slippers out there... !!!!! Really happy for you.
A suggestion for a paint color for the north facing guest bedroom (if you can find it in the UK): Ibis White by Sherwin Williams. I painted my bedroom in my family home that color years ago (which is also a north facing bedroom) and it just makes the room look illuminated with a soft glow. It’s a white with very subtle peachy undertones and it almost looks like white walls being kissed by the light of the golden hour all the time. I think it’s a great warm white to use in spaces that need a little dose of sunshine.
The purple flowers at 10:47 are called 'Schachbrettblume' in German which translates to 'chessboard flower' 🙂
And the blue ones are ‚Traubenhyacinthen‘ or ‚grape hyacinths‘.
In English the purple flowers are called Fritillaria.
Snake head fritillary in English :)
In Dutch/Flemish it's called blauwe regen = Blue Rain :)
In Swedish the tiny blue ones are Pärlhyacint, which would translate to Pearl hyacinth, and the second bell shaped ones are Kungsängslilja, which would be something like Lily of the king's meadow. And I think the wall climbing one is a Blåregn, Blue rain. Love those! 😊
For the TV, why not mount the TV on an arm on the wall? You can tuck it back against the wall where it is when you aren't watching it, and when you want to watch it, pull it out. Then it also doesn't dominate the room. A friend did this in a similar space and it worked great. There are some great wall mounts that extend out securely and then fold back flush against the wall.
Why don't you buy a TV holder that moves around, then put your TV on the wall next to the window. When you want to watch it, just pull your TV and adjust the angle :)
Just thought the same 😊
Yes was thinking that too!
I was thinking the same after I saw another CZcamsr who had a tv on wheels in her bedroom and she just kept it in her closet when not used, brilliant! 😊
@@Zzzoomin I love having a tv on wheels or sliders! It helps you set up the room with a fireplace or conversation as the focus but can add the tv when you want to watch it.
You can get the wall bracket where you can pivot the tv on an angle when you want to watch it.
Would you consider removing the door from the living room? I don't imagine you would ever have it closed off and you do have to work around it slightly with the furniture. I personally think that there will be plenty of room above the fireplace for the TV after it is opened up. Seems like the best placement for it as well. Excited for when renovations start! Absolutely beautiful already.
Yes! I was going to say this. I think they could take the door off then have room in that corner to angle the chair there.
I was also wondering if it could swing into the hall, if it is necessary to keep a door on there.
It is a lovely room, but perhaps it is just too small for all 3 pieces. I would try moving the chair to another room. You might then be able to accommodate an additional ottoman, or a small backless bench under the window, or another smaller alternative for additional seating if you feel you need it.
Yeah definitely I think it’s too much for the room!
@@MadeleineOlivia maybe an L-Shape would be better?
@@MadeleineOlivia Maybe put one up in the dressing room?
Hi purple i think are muscari and others are snakes head fritillaries . All beautiful . May you have many years growing in your new garden and home
It’s so nice to see the new garden, it looks gorgeous! The beautiful pinky mauve checkered bulbs are Fritillaria meleagris or Snakes Head fritillary and they are endangered in lots of the EU and the lovely bluish purple ones are Muscari or Grape hyacinths!
So pleased for you both on your move, finally, and I wish you so much happiness in your new home, it’s lovely! 🤗
That eyeshadow on you is just 😍
You are glowing and thriving! You look so happy it’s so nice to see 🥰❤️
The rooms are so, so beautiful. The music is lovely. Thank you for such a calm, happy vibe. Roxie is my favorite.
The flowers are grape hyacinths and snakehead fritillary. Love love love your garden and new home!! So happy for you!
The purple flowers look like grape hyacinths to me?
So excited to see what you'll do with the garden.
Imagine what you could grow in those veggie beds!
Your rare flowers are snakeshead fritillaries! They are an non-native plant but naturalised, and nationally rare.
For the living room you should try putting the single chairs either side of the fire place and the sofa facing it. It’s then more of a conversational room where you can sit and face one another
My parents cover their veg beds with fishing nets that have washed up on the beaches over the years. Worth keeping an ear out for that kind of thing after a big storm!
Can drape the nets over a frame when things are growing & with empty beds, even just having the net flat to the earth deters cats because they can't dig around without getting tangled! (just to clarify, we've never actually had anything get stuck!)
Did you try the tv on a bench/console or dresser to the right of the doorway? There, it would not dominate the room but still be as comfortable to view from the couches. You could keep the couches and big chair/s against the walls, for a conversation spot, with the fireplace as the focal point. In the evening, you could be lying down on your couches and chair/s for tv viewing.
How about building a small 2x3 sand bed for the cats to pee and poo in, and place it just on this side of the fence so the cat won’t even bother to go to the veg beds?
The garden is so lovely and seems to go on forever. The growing beds are awesome, too. I like your configuration for the patio furniture.
It's so lovely to share in your house move with all its excitement ! You look so blissfully happy Madeleine. Roxy too is positively ecstatic isn't she & your lovely ginger puss even knows her way home from outside I see. Looks like youre all well settled in heart already. A very happy family indeed . 🤗
Do a flat tv inside a thin cabinet above fireplace with a rough hewn mantel above fireplace. You could take off entrance door to livingroom so you get 3 ft more of wall space, where you could put a bookcase or a chair or table with soft lighting.
That garden is to die for! I love the sofa and arm chairs but think it is too big for the living room, so I would start afresh and get a new set :)
You can feel the love that was spent that made that garden what your living with today! How amazing. Those mature shrubs are divine.
I’m in a double fronted cottage in West Cornwall. I would not swap it for anything. The garden is my favourite place, stuff grows crazy here, out of every nook and cranny! Definitely take the year to watch what grows, see what you’ve got. I appreciate my surroundings every single day, looks like you have found a really special place there. X
My husband the gardener says that you have a honeysuckle growing on that trellis! That will smell delightful when it's in bloom!
Those rare flowers you was showing. Looks like Bell Flowers of some kind. Love your new home yawn. And your big garden. So Beautiful. Love the Swing.
Love love your patio and garden. And your house.ha And the wisteria is great with no leaves. And the green paint on the window. Grape Hyacinth is what we call the little purple flowers. I of course love the garden beds. You seem so much more cheerful after a depressing winter and year. Love your home.
Holy moly could this house get any better!? Having all those veg beds! Wow. Maddie you have made me dream even bigger! I am SO enjoying all the house content. Its so refreshing to see a youtuber who is so truly appreciative of everything they have and I cant wait to see you and Alex thrive in this home xxx
random comment from a long-time follower of your channel. great house and congrats! my comment is an observation about you and Alex. what a fantastic partnership. the 2 of you work so well together. live and love so well together, and it shines thru. beautiful couple and i wish all the best for you! p.s i am loving all the animals!
alex and roxie are so sweet! I have my own cocker and so much of my motivation to save for a home is to give him his own backyard garden 🥰
Put the tv on the right hand wall next to the fire place on a pivoting wall mount. That way you can angle it anyway you want
Madeline your make up is very pretty today, you guys are doing a really nice job and getting your new home outfit together and you got a love your back garden it looks like such a beautiful place. I am so very happy for both of you.
I think I would put the TV on the small wall that the single chair is in front of by the door and then move the chair over in the corner by the bookcase where you have the TV on the floor. Good luck! 🏡
Tips for the livingroom window! If you want a temporary cheap and very pretty solution, check Ikea. They have something called SCHOTTIS, it workds wonders! And you can cut it and adjust it to your needs. I really love them.
I'm loving this house and garden, its beautiful. Its lovely to see you settling into it as your home.
Thank you so much!
Congrats on the beautiful house and garden. I've used chicken wire on the garden bed (bury it down about 1/2 inch and then put seeds or starts through the holes. Cats don't like digging and getting their claws stuck in the wire. They also sell stuff specifically for this, but it doesn't always help in veg gardens.
We have same problem with cats and raised beds. If chicken wire on the gait doesn't work, I suggest making a more attractive place for the cat to go wherever you deem is a good spot. Rough up the soil in that spot to make it inviting and easy to dig, perhaps put some sand there or loose mulch. They like the raised beds because it's easy to dig in with the loose dirt. Love the new place and especially the outdoor part of it.
I would suggest drawing up a 1:20 scale plan and making cutouts of the furniture. You can arrange these before moving the actual furniture. The house and garden are lovely by the way.
This is so dreamy and perfect 😍🥰😭 I‘m so so so incredibly happy for both of you!!
Thank you so much for your vlogs. They are such lovely escapism. Your new home is lovely!
Dogs are so special
I’ve followed you through four homes (not including when you moved back with parents temporarily) and each house is so lovely in its own way and has a southern british charm
I enjoy watching your channel so much. It's inspires me to clean and organize and live more minimally. Enjoy your new home.
I love your garden! I can't wait until you do a cooking video where you show you going into the garden to get some of the ingredients for your recipes. I can't wait until I see your garden flourishing.
We cover our vegetable beds with scaffold netting works great to keep the cats out, you can buy it on a large roll 🙂
Such a wonderful place to live! Maybe see if you can change which way the door opens so it doesn't open into the living room? Or try getting a smaller TV! A bit radical for our current tech age but we have a little TV and love how it doesnt become a feature in the lounge. Gives you a bit more flexibility too!
I would put the tv on a wall mounted arm on the all to the right of the fireplace. Then it can be watched from the couch or moved out turned to accommodate both watching. Good luck deciding!
My parents used to have the furniture one way in summer and a different way in winter. Close to the fire in winter and away in summer. TV moved too
Love this!
You know you watch too many of Maddie’s videos when you have a favourite outfit of hers 👀 you look beautiful!! 🌿
The purple flower is fritillary and the blue one is Muscari. Such a beautiful place you have! X
I am so glad you are happy. I hope you won't cut the vines off your house. Its going to look lovely when they leaf out and bloom.. When my husband of 52 years died I had to sell our little place in the woods. It sold quickly (sadly) because it had beautiful vines on the sides and looked like a fairy house in the woods. ( moved from Britain to Canada in 1967) I later learned that the parents of the people suggested getting rid of the vines. The after pictures of our beautiful small home we called the cottage are terrible...just a house now. I wish you many, many lovely years together. Blessings. Christine.
Looks like those are grape hyacinth (blue flowers that look like bells) and the other is a snake head fritillary tulip! Can't wait to see what you do with the garden!
I am happy to see you enjoying your life 😊
The little purple flowers are grape hyacinth. The other pinkish spotted ones like a bell are guinea hens. You have a really lovely garden and home. I’m a new subscriber.
For the cats, well more for the beds - citrus spray and peel (very easy to make at home) and works a treat!
Snakes head Fritillary - the blue flowers are Grape Hyacinths (Muscari) - both are lovely!
The garden is beautiful ! The purple drooping flower is a snakes head fritillary from the Lilly family and the other purple/blue flower is a mascari !
You can get a pepper type substance and sprinkle it around the veg patch on the outside and it deters dogs and cats
I love the wood stove.
Hi Madeleine,
Congrats on your beautiful new home it's lovely! Those flowers are similar to daffodils but these smaller white versions are called paper whites!
little blue ones are grape hyacinths.
I'm with you ... have always been in love with wisteria!!
Peace,
Rachele
xoxo
Just an Idea, you could put the tv on a tilting mount on the wall next to the fireplace so
you can bring it out and push it back
Those unusual flowers you mentioned are called a snakes head plant (Fritillaria Meleagris) I did have some but my bunny actually ate the heads off them 🐰❤
the purple one that looked like grapes theyre called Muscari the only way to deter your cats is covers some people say pepper is a harmless deterent but i dont have cats (allergic) I have Muscari in my garden and they can be invasive good luck with the vegetable garden and ejnoy yours and Alex's new home...xx
Fritillaria meleagris aka snake head, muscari aka grape hyacinth. Make a small garden bed closer to the house as an outdoor litter box. The chicken wire on the gate is a good idea as well as using it on garden beds to deter furry family using them as a toilet. The garden looks gorgeous!!!
I started watching your yt channel almost four Years ago. Such a Long time. And its amazing watching you change and grow. Such an inspiration.
Just a thought you could put the TV on a swing arm on the wall to the left of the window have it kept to the wall when you are not watching and swing out the tv when you want to watch it. I feel like you may need an L shape configuration for your sofa so the longest sofa against the wall and one chair facing the fireplace with the door behind it you could put a small table between the sofa and chair on the corner of the L shape. Define the seating area with a rug. The only other thing is to build out a false front of the fire place where you can then set in the tv which could be lined with heat resistant panels and hidden wiring behind. A little more expensive but a cleaner finish.
I just started following you on You tube, and I truly enjoy both of you sharing your journey. Your videos are very down to earth, and Beautiful! I'm looking forward to continuing watching. Thank You so much for sharing with us!
The house and garden are so dreamy. What a treat to have a ready-made veg plot. Not at all jealous 😑
Maybe get a smaller TV for the lounge and put that one in your bedroom? With that garden and the beaches so close to you, from next month to September, you’ll probably not be spending time watching much tv anyway. Gorgeous, delightful garden. I spotted a bunch of lupins, my favourite flower just by the gate. In a month or so your garden will be transformed by greenery and colour, bliss.
We can’t wait to watch it transform! And true a smaller TV in here might be better as we aren’t watching much at the mo!
@@MadeleineOlivia and you could potentially remove a few of the shelves and put it on one side of the fireplace
I'm so happy for you, for how far you've come. This property is beautiful and you both desirve to have a place that inspires you and makes you feel at home.
you guys are living my dream! these videos make me so happy ☺️
Aww yay I’m so pleased you’re enjoying them!
You should put your extra chair from the living room in the kitchen by the fireplace and your piano in the living room where the chair was. Two cozy places then.
The blue flowers look like Muscari botryoides wich could be a grape hyacint and the other one is a Frittilaria meleagris wich I believe are called snake’s head in English.
There are these fences made out of chestnut that you buy in a ”roll” that I think look so beautiful around a kitchen
garden! They look simple and rustic. But Maybe he’ll just jump over it😂.
I’m not sure you ever talked about your view on having kids, but I can really see your family growing here❤️
Maddie and Alex you truly look super happy in your new home. your garden is out of this world. Thank you for sharing. looking forward to more videos of your home Hugs from across the ocean❤
In the US we call the little purple flowers grape hyacinth and the upside down tulip-style flower is Fritillaria or Guinea-Hen Flower
Yayyyy! So gorgeous. Also, I love how Roxie is always just chilling and looking at you guys when you carry stuff, put things together etc :')
10:44 the blue ones are called grape hyacinth (Muscari is the botanical name) and the reddish ones after those are called snake's head or chess flower (Fritillaria)
The purple flowers are muscari aka grape hyacinths, the checkered ones are fritillaria meleagris. Powdered cinnamon or cayenne pepper sprinkled around perimeter are supposed to help deter animals from wanting to dig in certain areas. Just have to reapply occasionally. So excited for you two in your new home and looking forward to the new gardening content!
That garden is beautiful!! I wonder since your fireplace may be too high for the tv, perhaps you guys can put the projector there instead! At least that way you guys can have that space be multifunctional ☺
If you sold the oversized sofa and chairs and replaced with narrower sofwand just one chair and removed the door it wouldn’t be co crowded. Donna, Mikes wife
Thank you for sharing your lovely new home! So happy for you and excited to continue to see it transform. ❤
The little blue flowers are Grape Hyacinths. I love your home and garden! I live n Maine, US, and wish everyday I could move to England!
That garden is so huge I still can't believe it! 😍 Together with that gorgeous cottage it must have cost you a fortune 😰 Love love love it!! ❤
The little checkerboard flowers are called Snake's head fritillary’s and they are beautiful...such a beauty in nature xx
I love wisteria also- your garden is lovely!
The plants are a snake’s head fritillary and grape hyacinth 🌹
Thank you, I could not come up with snake's head....it was driving me crazy that I couldn't remember the name!
the really rare checkered plant is a fritillary and the blue ones are grape hyacinth :~) lovely garden!!
You seem so happy and that's lovely to see! What a beautiful house and garden - it has such a lovely feel too. x
I really enjoy love your content. Reminds me to slow down and enjoy life :)
❤️❤️❤️
Wow what a beautiful and useful garden......the dream!!!!!! Thank you so much for showing us!!!!!!
Have you considered a projector? You can move your current tv to the bedroom and use a projector so it doesn’t take up too much space/ruin the aesthetic
The house is so gorgeous! We just bought our forever home and I’m getting so much inspiration, can’t wait to move in in June 😍
That little purple flower in the beginning of the video is Muscari or grape hyacinth.....so pretty! Congratulations to you both, wishing you both years of happiness in your new home! Oh and I'm so jealous of your raised beds, you're going to be able to grow so much produce you lucky people!!
Madeleine this new place is AMAZING! What an incredible garden! Congrats on the house again!
What if you mounted the TV on the wall its current angled against and then had a mount where you could pull it out or angle it so when you're spread out in the room yall can still see it.
love your garden area, so beautiful. I wonder if, for now, you got a small table or stand to place your tv on and have it corner wise in the corner it is in now and in front of your shelving unit, large couch on the wall it is already on so you can see tv and out window, and one chair angled in the corner same area (wall) as the couch if it would fit. Then maybe put one chair somewhere else in your home since they do appear too large for your livingroom. If you have company and need another chair, you could use a ktichen chair or outside chair to bring in for the visit. Just a thought that may work for now and someday maybe purchase a new living room set that fits better? You have a lovely home. I enjoy seeing European homes as they have so much character. I live in Ontario Canada and although we have some older homes that are nice, they are not like those you have.
