Hardly jumping on her? I’ve just added my thoughts, my opinion and l my feedback on how she’s developing her house.I moved house exactly one week before lockdown. We haven’t painted any ceilings because quite honestly, it is a crap job to do and wasn’t a priority to us. We painted the walls because they are what had the biggest impact on the place feeling more like our own. Just because you would do something doesn’t make her, me or anyone else lazy for choosing not to do it. I have better things to invest my time in than painting a ceiling that doesn’t bother me. We painted the bedrooms and living room walls, everything else has stayed the same because it’s a complete waste of money, resources and time to paint it white/any other colour to then just change our minds again. We are working out what to do with the spaces first, taking it one step at a time because that is the most economical thing to do as well as the least wasteful! There’s influencers out there who have been breaking social distancing rules for the last few months but if you want to jump on someone for not painting THEIR ceiling then I think you need to step back and evaluate what really matters in life lol
Nice.Gloss is not fashionable anymore, it is trendy nowadays to paint the skirting the same colour as your walls. And white paint is not meant to be perfect for every single room, it may make it look a bit drab if you don’t have enough light.
Her house, the move, the tours, the 'renovations', the painting or lack thereof are her channel content, and therefore her work.Hardly jumping on her? I’ve just added my thoughts, my opinion and l my feedback on how she’s developing her house.
Step back and the evaluate what matters in life? Are you joking? I’m very aware of what’s important in life but this is kind of the point of tattle, it’s a discussion board?
If you want to talk about deep and meaningfuls then find a another thread?
It looks like you say a lot worse on gabbies thread so what’s the difference??
I wasn't having a go at you or anyone, I haven't read through the whole thread I just saw a few posts call her lazy (not just from you). I was just adding my general opinion on Lucy which is what threads like this are for.Yes, 100% agree, you could tell she didn't enjoy the clothing content. She was uncomfortable but tried to make jokes but it was upsetting to watch!
The only thing that gets me with the whole self deprecating thing (I do it too but I'm not on YouTube!) is when she had the rant baiut the before and after of Adele, she made some valid pointw but at the same time constantly puts herself down meaning someone that looks like her or has something the same as her is then going to feel down about that thing? Which is what she was saying with Adele so a bit hypocritical
Like I said, I don't care what she spend money on, how much she earns, what she does and doesn't do with her house. I just thinks it weird to not do the ceiling first and leaving things like the dirty light shades.
I wasn't having a go at her for not doing anything, I also said I understand that she has done loads that we can't see but it seems people only want to read certain bits of some posts and have a go for no reason.
No no, sorry @Razzmatazz i didn't mean you when I said that! I was talking about the other person I quoted but I just added it on to the end!
Those dark walls all of the influencers were doing in 2018 /19 were awful. Depressing and gloomy, glad she hasn't done that (yet...) or those neon tracey Emin inspired wall pieces. Remember gabby had a skull one that has quietly disappearedi like the 70s style, i dislike the unfinished 'style.'
I'm surprised they went for a house with such a small kitchen and no dining space, given that Adam loves to cook. I'm sure he must feel at times that it would be nice to present dinner properly? First world problems, I knowthey're definitely not considering it their forever home, since Lucy said in her update video that the kitchen is perfect for 2 adults (paraphrasing).
Also, work must be thin on the ground as I replied to one of her Instagram stories yesterday and she messaged back within 10 minutes!
I think they really had to consider what they could get in their budget in an area they liked!I'm surprised they went for a house with such a small kitchen and no dining space, given that Adam loves to cook.

When we bought our house, nothing of ours came into the house until I had stripped every wall, ceiling and ripped up the carpets. i ripped out all the light fittings (even the plain bayonet ones) every plug socket and light switch!No, I totally get it but for me personally Id have to at least do the ceiling, it changes a room, along with the light shades! She's into her crafting so she could even make one for the time being. She was quick to gett rid of the tartan curtains which had nothing wrong with them but is happy with dirty roof and shades.
It is a huge achievement buying a house and I'm glad they've not gone for generic, boring, new build (I'd have a new build but not the same greys and crushed velvet they all seem to have) and I kno wits hard work to do up a house, I absolutely get that and I also understand they've done things that we aren't able to see.
Maybe it is laziness, maybe it's money (which I find hard to believe) but we'll never know and are definitely not entitled to know and like I said before don't really care to know but people will always speculate about things.
Even the stairs, she's complainrd alot baiut them but still hasn't done them. I know a decent runner and hardwood flooring can cost a lot but as it's the first thing you see walking in, I would have done it after the 2 main rooms but thats just me. Everyone is different and prioritises different things and that's fine.
I don't like buying "temporary" things but also would never keep a disgusting lampshade like this. It's better to have something temporary/cheap but neat and clean.everyone has diff Time scales and funds available but every time she shows that manky lampshade i wanna jump in my car and drive 200miles+ to take it down! You can get a basic (for now) lampshade for a fiver from Argos or whatever.... no excuse
No I don’t either because in the long run it’s not cost effective, but to say they have done so much of their living room including one item of furniture that cost £350 I’m sure they could have changed it hahaI don't like buying "temporary" things but also would never keep a disgusting lampshade like this. It's better to have something temporary/cheap but neat and clean.
We've had a bulb on show in our bedroom for 3 years, because I've not found the perfect shade yet. It doesn't bother me at all - rarely have the 'big' light on in there anyway, and much nicer than sticking with the manky old shade that was there.Yes!! It's really not expensive or hard to change the shade, like I said before, she could even make one as she's big into her crafting just as a temporary fix!!
I'd hate seeing those shades day in, day out. I'd rather have just a bulb on show!
I think those paper wasp nest ones are great. Afforable and clean, won't steal focus from the rest of the room etc.I don't like buying "temporary" things but also would never keep a disgusting lampshade like this. It's better to have something temporary/cheap but neat and clean.
Agreed. It’s just getting annoying now! I reckon she’s doing some art prints or something with “inspirational” quotes.Iwish she'd stop going on about this secret side project. Either tell us or don't try giving sneaky hints. It's annoying. This goes for all youtubers.
I hope not! She can do better.Agreed. It’s just getting annoying now! I reckon she’s doing some art prints or something with “inspirational” quotes.
It’s the fact they spent all that money on that sofa and it’s only a two seater! They could have easily got a great second hand bargainEarlier on, I was going to mention GumTree and similar websites but then edited it out from my comment and never posted. We live in Cambridge and such sites are heaving atm! People are getting rid of almost new things, I guess everyone is having a bit of declutter, and selling thing for next to nothing or giving away for free. My boyfriend and I don't mind second hand as we prefer to spend more money on other things but for some reason I just can't picture Lucy doing the same which is a shame. (Or any Youtuber for that matter, unless it would be someone with a niche channel specilising in upcycling). But if money is really tight for her at the moment (it seems that way), she should definitely consider it.
I hope not! She can do better.
