So in the latest house saga... two shelves or three??! She can’t visualise so needs a vote. She’s infuriating. Who gives a duck and does it honestly matter.

She clearly has zero other things going on to care this much about something so immaterial.

WHY CANT SHE DECIDE THINGS FOR HERSELF WITH HER HUSBAND. FFS.

capitals were needed - the shelf thing pissed me off 😂 I voted 3 cos I think she’d want 2 (More minimal and less crap to have on display) And I wanted to give her some self doubt 😂

It’s straight out of the influencer handbook- every day run a poll on Instagram stories to keep engagement high and boost your instagram squares in searches. Right next to - every day ask an inoffensive question or request for help/ recommendations to keep engagement high (and tip off advertisers as to what you are in the market for).
 
Why can’t she put the shelves up? Why does she have to have a go at Rich? Because they aren’t up to her standard. How can two people who have had a baby not put up shelves?! I’ve moved into a new house and I’ve been drilling holes and putting shelves and mirrors up left right and centre, without the need to moan at my husband! Drill a hole, put a raw plug in, screw the brackets in. Not hard Lily! I’m five foot and manage. God, she really is useless and I want to slap some sense into her!
 
Lily’s before and after floor plan.

you can see how they’ve made the space between the living room and kitchen a glorified corridor. Its just such a waste And that’s why they can’t put any furniture there and it’s just become a dumping ground.

I mocked up what they could have done. But I realised their island is so big ...in fact it’s soo big for the space. It should have been made a lot smaller but I bet lily just had to have a massive island. The space would actually work better with out one to be honest. By partitioning a separate lounge putting their loo under the stairs they could have got a second living area in that space with a sofa and space for grey to play and some storage for her toys.
the washing machine could have gone in a cupboard off the hall too.

Love that theyve rowed over shelving too. Both so useless! But for me it all stems back to bad design that’s why they don’t know what to do with that bit of the house.

I should add the green rectangles are my attempt at illustrating sofas/chairs and storage in that area.

I was wondering about the island the other day. To me is just a waste of space, no one actually sits there for breakfast. I would have make it smaller, maybe like a U shape kitchen and she can still have her insta worthy breakfast bar.
 
Maybe its just me... but when she said her house wasn't child friendly, it doesn't look like it's that much different to what she changed it to? Kinda seems like another ploy for free stuff to be honest? I mean their downstairs is still way bigger than mine before the renovations!

I only started following Lily when she got pregnant so missed all the major reno works- did they live in the house at all when they first bought it or was it uninhabitable? Not defending their decision but I know that the plans we had our house have changed dramatically in the 2 years we've lived here based on how we actually use the space rather than how we thought it would be used.

Edited to add - if they did live there, then I really don't understand the completely open plan space. Keeping a separate lounge and then having the kitchen with space for a sofa etc for more a social atmosphere would make more sense and they would still have had room for it. Agree that the island is just massive. And none of the appliances are built into it either are they to make more space on the wall units?!

they lived in the house for maybe a couple of months? Trust me it was completely liveable and the kitchen and bathroom didn’t even look that old. maybe it just needed decorating to their taste if you see what I mean. It also had lovely original fireplace in the lounge which she ripped out.

ive lived in my house 5 years to save before extending and means I know what will work better. Lily didn’t even give that house a chance, she pretended they were going to live it in and do it up then all of a sudden they moved out and started a Reno. Except that was lies, because they needed planning permission to extended which they would have had to apply for 8 weeks plus before starting so she knew all along she was going to extend. She just wanted to pretend they were doing to do it up.

A few months?! The thing is, if she said look, we designed this house with this being our life in mind but actually having a kid has made us realise that this would have been better, I wouldn't mind and actually could probably relate much more and it would be useful to anyone else who may be buying a project house and/or starting a family. It's the fact that she just grumbles about it and makes it sound like Grey is the inconvenience rather than the house itself.

Yeah their whole move was quite weird, they just all of a sudden were like 'oh yeah we moved!' and moved into that house. There's a video house tour people really ripped her for because the house was really nice. Most people would have gone in with a wallpaper stripper and dragged her for the fireplaces (the fireplaces were apparently not original, but installed by the previous owner) She mentioned some electric issues but she would complaint about the wardrobes smelling and all sorts so then it became and 'oh we'll have to do this' and 'we'll have to do that'. She also said initially they weren't going to do the bathroom because it was perfectly fine and functional but then they ended up doing it, but if you'd just kinda of squeezed something it you'd not put a ridiculously expensive toilet in too would you? I wonder if they'd first budgeted for doing it out of pocket and then were gifted more than they expected so could stretch it out and do more. It's definitely a lot of work for a home that isn't going to be their forever home.

totally agree. No one is perfect and there’s things you no doubt get wrong when doing work on your house. but I cannot see lily swallowing her pride and admitting there’s things that don’t work for them now or don’t work as she imagined.

I honestly think they will move again in the next 2 years.

Looks like Lily's love affair with rattan might be over at long last.

Will she write to HM for a refund

Be honest guys, how many of us actually LOL when we saw this post. I did

I can imagine how fuming she was, tosing it at her garden. I can totally imagine her tantrums. Why can’t she put it in a bin bag and put it in the bin outside of her house like what an adult would do

Yeah me too, she has to keep the content going... hope a blogger buys her current house and would love to see how they trash talk her design decision. I hate bloggers or influencers trash talk the design selection of the previous owners. There were some designs like avocado bathroom/ sky blue bathroom/ red wall were classic at that time and this is design, it changes according to time. It seems like their pea size brain can never comprehend this logic
 
Queue her uploading two baskets, asking her followers for advice which new ones she would get... really her way of begging the company to send a new one.

I reckon she’s desperate to move into a new house but with her content lately it’s not going to happen any time soon. I hope she has to go out and get a real job THEN she can complain (maybe, probably not)
