Just had to come on and comment on the bathrooms. It's soo sad when you think about the money that has been spent and honestly I don't think they look amazing (and they should).
Firstly that very dark room, I don't like that colour at all, I don't know what it is it just doesn't look as good as it could.
I prefer the lighter green bathroom but I dont like all those little marble tiles. Marble always looks soo old to me, like you see it in old public toilets with yellow ciggy burns on it or some sort of yellow stain.
That wall paper in the bedroom is BEAUTIFUL but has she painted the cornice cream and the ceiling white, surely she should have done the ceiling and the cornice the same colour.
I had to laugh when I heard her say she was thinking of going the black lounge room green, of course she will do it.
I do looove green, its my favourite colour but I think she is going overboard now.
What's happening in the back yard, didn't they just have that turfed??
Poor Lydia she doesnt understand what journalism is? She thinks it means newspapers, magazines.
The marble is stark against the wood panelling and there is so much grouting! I would’ve gone for bigger tiles and not white marble in a herringbone style.
 
She thinks she’s a trailblazer but as usual she’s a day late and a dollar short..😂

Given that she's got no content going on at the minute, I thought it would be interesting too see if we were actually influenced by her at some point and by what. I was influenced by her to buy the bondi sands liquid gold tan. (Didn't use the affiliate link though, actually went into boots) and I gotta say I loved it. Never tried the brand before then, but its the only brand I use now, though I've moved on to the technicolor tan. Anyone else??
I bought the By Terry CC serum, it cost a fortune and was awful, looked nice on pictures but horrible on me in real life, ended up returning it and they refunded!
 
My child started being nosy and watched a bit of Lydia’s vlog, the part showing the green bathroom. Child said “urgh what’s that? Is it a bathroom in a tiny shed “ 😂

child thought the panelling was a shed 😂

being as Ali hasn’t got a 5 yr plan he is taking things as they come, she’s not the brightest , yet she’s manning the ship, I think she’s realised she’s 3-4 yrs min (if KM continue that long - I’m shocked they have renewed even) , from getting a decent deposit together for a Cotswold pad.

im shocked they would keep the bunga . It serves zero purpose . A large costly house like that is no good return wise as an investment property. The return is higher if the funds are split into smaller houses … surely she would never live there again and it’s no use as a holiday home . It’s crazy to leave that much £££ tied up . I believe she’s got a lot of equity in the bunga.

meanwhile Cotswolds is expensive and anything with land is very costly. Josie has an acre (and the house sits on it so not even one acre) for perspective. I’m guessing Lydia wants an acre of formal and godknows what type of garden … if she bought an old , unathletic nag, well she needs two because they need company then that’s two more acres needed min , she might want to pretend she’s growing more and get a gardener in to do the hard work 😂 maybe half an acre there . She’s probably after a 4 acre property . She won’t find anything in the top Cotswolds areas - the super quaint places because they are ££££££ . If she goes about 25-30 mins from daylesford close to Stratford she could get house and land for 2.5m min but there aren’t many knocking around.

why won’t she just sell up and move sooner? I can’t understand that. It would make for content. She’s only been faffing about lately painting for content if she’s not selling .

has Karen Millen told her this is the last time she’s getting renewed and panic has set in and they are playing for time ? Making excuses to see what happens next financially ? Covering up any panic?


She can't move...


1. You need actual cash for a deposit - she won't save!

2. I bet no one will be the guarantour and they can't get a big enough mortgage.

I laughed at those bathrooms, yes have a new and nice bathroom, but fake beams, pictures, tongue and groove??? in a small shower room, she is mad!
 
Where does she say that? In her latest TikTok when she shows the Birkenstocks, her jeans are so tight she can’t even bend to put her shoes on.
The latest flog trying on a dress from Reformation. USA sizing. Time stamp 36.30.

Here she is fitting a size 2, just😂, and blaming it on eating two plates of pasataa

Am I getting this right? She is putting exposed beams in the guest bathrooms? But nowhere else in the house has exposed beams? Who on planet earth would design a house like that? If I were touring that house as a buyer, I would be asking "......why are there exposed beams in the guest bathrooms and no where else?" I would fall out of that house laughing. How pretentious, fake and forced. That has to be one of the weirdest design elements to randomly install in just a fraction of the house. Might as well put up some "exposed brick" wallpaper in half a hallway somewhere too.
 
Is she ok? gluing frames to those art pieces because they are too small to fit. 🤭

The green colour in the en-suite in the Wisteria room reminds me of a cheap old motel. 🤣

And the tattler who sad the gingham curtains are jarring is correct, they look worse now with the green paneling in the bathroom. 🤣

That’s EXACTLY what the problem is - her silly mood boards that everyone is trying to copy 🙄🙄 has no cohesion. There is nothing in the house that runs smoothly throughout which is what real interior design is about. Your eye should not be drawn to random, senseless beams in a new build and in a guest bathroom of all places. It should all flow easily. The modern look would work a lot better and it doesn’t have to be the way she had it when she first moved in, ie all shiny surfaces but light, bright, abstract art, cosy textures...

She’s a beam here, equestrian art there, botanical prints, rustic vignettes, depressing tablescrapes, wonky pheasants, try-hard dining table with crevices, Princess Diana’s mahogany desk 🙄, swamp green, ill fitting headboards and the piss de resistance, an ensuite with no door..
