So after moaning in a vlog that she wants to have a boot area near the back door, but it will cost SOOOOOO much, she's managed to beg Hammonds to do it for free or discount. WHAT A BEG. Lydia, real country houses have proper boot rooms for welly's, muck boots, riding boots, waterproof jackets and dog beds, you can't create that in your underwhelming bungalow. I have a proper boot room, and it's a proper functional area of the house, that gets mucky, wet, messy, used every day. It's not some area to have styled with your Chanel books, candles and un-used Hunter wellies, just because you think that's what country houses have. This is just another area for her to style and buy props for.
If she wants to portray this country life / wife image, why didn't she buy an old period property, get a couple of dogs, a horse, some chickens, an old Landrover Defender and really embrace it. Nope - every thing is just for bragging rights.
