I quite like it too but not at the price. I'm interested in sustainable, non-fussy but not boring fashion, for a reasonable outlay. This average look isn't offensive but shouldn't cost an arm and a leg. I swear I do way better with my Goodwill outfits.

@Readinginks I've lost interest in her videos but still like to check in once in a while. The house is really sweet but already I have issues with them LOL. Maybe it's because I'm poor but I can't stand the British middle class's propensity to go in and renovate before living in the space and figuring it out slowly. I'm British and middle class by the way. When I see my cousin for the first time in years, he tends to show me the new porch, double glazing, and bathroom. HAHAHAHAHAHA. I love him, but this is so gross to me. Not that Americans don't do the worst
tit imaginable too. But there's part of the British culture of that milieu wrapped up in renovation/remodeling in a different way.
The last video I saw was about putting bookshelves in the living room space (or lounge in my class- ha!, or den in America). Dean was measuring and describing the bank of bookshelves. As he was describing, at least 1/3rd of the french doors will be obscured cutting out light and openness.
Possibly they will realize that and adjust.
But what about the sustainability she bleats on about? Oh yeah,
duck that because I need my vanity books. I realize it's nice to have some art books to peruse at home, but one need not buy every paperback book - libraries? My taste, (and granted people differ) would get that cabinet looking more interesting- maybe carefully stripping back the wood. Old wood for me has richness and history. A lot of work and easier to just build new, I get it, and that's fine too but take some time to see how the house lives on a daily basis and how that life coincides with yours. He can still show off his talents (for business purposes) getting all the must-dos done artistically and competently. That would be interesting.
For me, I've learned that figuring out a new space takes months if not years. I don't put up artwork right away for this reason too. Every house is different, the paintings and house will eventually tell me what to do. Patience always pays off.
They do a lot of lovely stuff too. Vintage furniture can look, in a cold space, like a showroom, and have no personality. But it's a good investment and when coupled with soft furnishings and a variety that truly matches your taste it can look fantastic. Too many influencers think that because they are good at getting dressed, they are good at home design.
Money does not buy genuine home design skills. It just buys fancy
tit and tends to look inspired by the shops they spend so much time in. And just like those shops, they constantly want to update their deliveries so as to require more purchases. And the beat goes on.
