  • (lively string music)

  • - Hello, lovely people and welcome

  • to the Kellgren-Fozard house tour

  • that you've all been asking for .

  • (applause) - Yay!

  • - Although this isn't actually the house

  • that we own anymore.

  • When you watch this we no longer live in this house.

  • - Yeah that's weird, we're a little bit sad.

  • - I'm not sure I've processed fully this emotion.

  • Hopefully by the time you watch this

  • and we live in a new house, we will have processed it.

  • - Mm-hmm, this will be like the last time,

  • if you watch the videos in real time of release,

  • that you'll see us sat in front of this background.

  • - Yes.

  • So in this video we're gonna show you

  • around our whole house.

  • Show you our cool furniture, where we got it from,

  • I find furniture fascinating.

  • - It speaks to her. - I hope you do too.

  • Are you making fun of me?

  • - No, I think it speaks, I think furniture does speak.

  • I mean, apart from, unless it's like,

  • well, some people might argue--

  • - You talk to trees.

  • - No, I don't.

  • - You do.

  • - I don't talk to trees.

  • - On a deep, spiritual level.

  • - Oh yeah, not out loud.

  • (laughing)

  • So okay, I just don't do it out loud.

  • - I speak to the furniture on a spiritual level.

  • We're even.

  • Evenly weird.

  • - Yeah.

  • - If you want to see the house that we

  • are currently living in, at this moment in time,

  • then do please subscribe, and in 10 years time

  • when we move out of that one,

  • you'll see a house tour.

  • - You'll see snippets of it.

  • You're gonna have a studio room,

  • and so you'll just see one aspect of the room.

  • We're gonna do the kitchen up

  • so you probably won't see that until,

  • for maybe another six months.

  • - Until it's actually done.

  • - Until it's done.

  • - We actually have a lot of-- - You're gonna do an office.

  • - Decorating to do, my love.

  • - Yeah, it's a bit of a project house.

  • - Pretty much every room.

  • - It's a bigger house, therefore

  • it's got more rooms to do up.

  • And it's not in any way to our style right now.

  • - And it's gonna be our family home

  • that we will fill with babies!

  • (crickets chirping)

  • - Fur babies.

  • - Human babies!

  • - We had a discussion the other day, didn't we?

  • About what do we like more, babies or dogs?

  • Yeah, you know when you're walking down the street

  • and you're like "Oh, oh my God look at that--

  • - "Puppy!" - "Such cute little doggy!"

  • - Dogs are amazing!

  • - But only some babies do I go past and go

  • "Oh that is such a cute baby!"

  • Sometimes I'm just like:

  • (laughing)

  • That is a completely different life stage,

  • we're just in a house at the moment.

  • - It's also gonna be accessible, which is amazing.

  • So I'll be able to go around the bottom floor

  • in my wheelchair.

  • So I don't have to now make the decision

  • between whether I want to be able to be

  • on the floor with food,

  • or on the floor with a toilet.

  • So good times-- - Yeah!

  • - Will be had.

  • Now please enjoy the tour of the house

  • we no longer own.

  • - Bye!

  • - Bye house, bye.

  • - We loved you.

  • Our first marital home.

  • - Oh, I love you.

  • - Oh I love you too.

  • So many happy memories.

  • - I know!

  • - I'm a little bit worried when we move

  • to the next house, suddenly our marriage

  • is gonna go to pot.

  • (laughing)

  • Is that silly?

  • (laughing)

  • - Before we lived in this house, we lived

  • for a year in a shared house

  • where we shared one bedroom.

  • - We've slowly started spreading ourselves out.

  • What if the next house, we're too far apart

  • that we start to grow apart?

  • - We have more than one room in this house

  • and we still follow each other from room to room.

  • (laughing)

  • We could live in a mansion, we'd still

  • never be more than a meter apart.

  • - Mm-hmm though, true.

  • (lively string music)

  • - Come inside!

  • Hello, you two.

  • So this is our hallway.

  • We have a little shoe rack here,

  • which is mainly where Claudia's shoes go.

  • And then our little rucksacks,

  • which I think are really cute, they look very different.

  • (laughing)

  • This is actually really nice, and I think

  • this mirror and this shelf, I think we got from

  • second hand shops.

  • And then we're gonna come through into our

  • dining room/living room.

  • (lively string music)

  • This gorgeous table, we bought for 99 pounds

  • from Gumtree, you can extend it out

  • and then it has a little panel that comes

  • and fits in the middle.

  • So I think the most people we've

  • ever sat around it is 12.

  • This table, we've sanded down and varnished ourselves.

  • Claud and I did that.

  • And we painted the table next, in chalk paint,

  • we got really into chalk paint for a bit.

  • Chalk-painted the chairs, and then had them

  • upholstered to match the curtains that

  • we've got over there.

  • The curtains were actually in my childhood bedroom

  • in my old house in Bristol.

  • The chairs again, I got from the big secondhand warehouse

  • and I think it was about, it was 20 pounds

  • for the six chairs and a table,

  • but the table was disgusting, so that did not come with.

  • Almost everything in our house we have either inherited

  • or we got from Gumtree or a secondhand furniture place.

  • Which brings us down to our lovely dresser.

  • Which again, I got from Gumtree.

  • When we moved into this house, we didn't really

  • have a lot of furniture, so I had to get new furniture.

  • This was actually from Marks & Spencer's,

  • and it was about 900 pounds,

  • but I got it on Gumtree for

  • I think about 100.

  • Currently, my office is actually just this drawer.

  • Really looking forward to, in the new house,

  • having an office bigger than this drawer.

  • Medicines in here, and sugar-free sweets

  • because you should always keep the sweets with

  • your medicine to remind you to take it.

  • It's our fancy crockery, just for parties.

  • Doing stuff around the house bits.

  • - [Claudia] These are really tidy drawers.

  • (laughing)

  • - Microwave.

  • (lively string music)

  • I really love this filing cabinet,

  • that surprise, surprise, I got from

  • Gumtree for 20 pounds.

  • How often do you see a wooden filing cabinet?

  • Not often.

  • It keeps a lot of stuff in it.

  • It's very heavy though and I have no

  • idea how we're gonna get it out.

  • That is not as old as it looks,

  • I got it from TK Maxx.

  • Yeah, a lot of our stuff comes from TK Maxx.

  • (laughing)

  • (lively string music)

  • Our shelves here, kind of lovely display shelves

  • of things that we have gathered,

  • collected from our lives, both separately and together.

  • Every time we go on holiday we get something

  • and it can go on these shelves.

  • This is from when we got engaged in Rome.

  • My grandparents, Claudia's grandparents, us, us.

  • This mirror was another stellar find.

  • I can't remember exactly how much it was,

  • but I think 50 pounds, that right?

  • - [Claudia] Yeah.

  • - And this fireplace I'm going to be

  • really sad to see go.

  • This is one of the period features of the house.

  • It has a lot of them, as you've

  • probably noticed going through.

  • Including these gorgeous wooden floors.

  • But yeah, this fireplace is beautiful

  • and it's done a lot of service,

  • Because we love a good fire.

  • This is our sofa that I think Claudia

  • equally loves and hates, it's probably fair to say.

  • It's the only sofa that we have,

  • it's not the world's most comfortable thing,

  • but it's very, it serves a really good purpose,

  • it was free from Claud's dad.

  • And Walter loves it, because he likes something

  • to lie against.

  • Because it is so old though, it's actually

  • incredibly scratchy, it's not great.

  • It's not great against your legs.

  • Not something you need,

  • so we cover it with this cloth

  • until we have the money to get it reupholstered.

  • - [Claudia] I think it's like, completely flammable as well.

  • - Other things in this room are the rocking chair

  • that was in your house somewhere.

  • - [Claudia] It was actually stuck in the garage, wasn't it?

  • We rescued it. - [Jessica] Oh, yeah.

  • This armchair is originally belonged to Claud's mom,

  • and we had this one reupholstered, so this is how

  • we were thinking of reupholstering the sofa.

  • Cream, linen, don't you guys want

  • to have kids?

  • We'll just have a special room of cream things.

  • This was another lovely purchase from Gumtree,

  • again, it was 20 pounds, because everything

  • on Gumtree is 20 pounds.

  • - [Claudia] It's good because you can still,

  • the remote still works through it because of the grid.

  • (lively string music)

  • - Okay, and then in here we have the kitchen,

  • which we've actually done a video about

  • that I'm going to link up above.

  • It was red and black which obviously

  • did not work with our house.

  • So it's really beautiful and I'm really

  • going to miss this kitchen,

  • I'm gonna be very sad to see it go

  • but we are taking the oven,

  • my Great British Bake Off Hide and Slide oven.

  • Let's go look upstairs!

  • One of the things I really love about

  • these stairs is that they have a day day rail

  • going up, which essentially is like having

  • two handrails, and it's the only way I can

  • go up and down stairs safely.

  • Otherwise I'd fall over.

  • Gonna have to make sure these get put in

  • in our new house.

  • And all along the stairs we have

  • just some lovely family pictures

  • and pictures that Claud and I have taken

  • over the years.

  • And at the top of the stairs we come

  • right into our bedroom.

  • Tilly likes to pose there perfectly every time.

  • (lively string music)

  • Here we've got a lovely big chest of drawers,

  • which came from my grandparents

  • via my parents so it's a good old piece.

  • It keeps going.

  • Again, very heavy, no idea how

  • someone's gonna get you out of that house

  • because I don't know how someone got it in.

  • And for those of you wondering

  • whether we kept up our Marie Kondo-ing, yeah.

  • And then here we have our lovely little

  • cabinet shelf.

  • It's got things like our perfumes, hair things,

  • a fascinator, because...

  • - [Claudia] Essentials.

  • - And a tiny miniature version of our wedding cake,

  • which my aunt made.

  • Because my aunt's hobby is making miniatures.

  • And behind you we have our big bed,

  • which is, of course, seen before.

  • And I'll link that video about our bed above.

  • And I must say, this little one loves it very much.

  • And at the end of the bed we have this trunk,

  • which is where I sit to film all of my videos.

  • This is all my hanging stuff, and that's

  • all Claud's hanging stuff.

  • Again, the Marie Kondo-ing has,

  • it kind of worked, it kind of worked out.

  • (door creaking)

  • Don't look up there. (laughing)

  • But it's not great for Claudia's hanging clothes

  • because she can't actually open her door

  • any farther than that.

  • (laughing)

  • Because of my bedside table,

  • now we've inherited this from your family house,

  • and your beside table is inherited from my family house.

  • We don't buy stuff. (Laughs)

  • I think it's the moral of this.

  • This whole video, oh except for this,

  • I bought that mirror at the secondhand shop

  • for, you guessed it, 20 pounds.

  • It's lovely, it's not weighted properly though,

  • so if I don't put things behind it, it just...

  • Claud chalk-painted it.

  • - [Claudia] It was a horrible mustard yellow

  • I think, wasn't it?

  • - Such a gross color before.

  • There we go, I think that's it for this room,

  • except for how many different ways

  • can we immortalize our love?

  • This I got Claud, it's from Bookishly,

  • and it's the stars the moment we met.

  • A Kellgren-Fozard pillow, which is

  • the year that we got married.

  • Oh I think I got you both of those, didn't I?

  • I'm obsessed with our love!

  • Oh, and this is Claudia's. (laughs)

  • Just in case you want to play golf

  • in the middle of the night.

  • Moving swiftly on!

  • (lively string music)

  • And in here is our second bedroom.

  • - [Claudia] Oh, it's hard to remember--

  • - Cut to something else.

  • - [Claudia] Yes.

  • (laughing)

  • - And we've got our bathroom in here,

  • which is just above our kitchen,

  • if you are confused about the layout,

  • where we're going.

  • Our bathroom's only for girls.

  • (soft piano music)

  • One of my absolute favorite things about this house

  • is the number of the hidden cupboards that we have.

  • It's our airing cupboard!

  • It's our washing machine!

  • And then you come out that weird little corridor

  • that begins our bathroom into our actual bathroom.

  • We have this shower that Claudia loves,

  • and a bath, that I love.

  • Yes look, it has feet.

  • And my Montessori Toddler book that I read in the bath.

  • Because I'm gonna be ready, okay?

  • I'm gonna be ready.

  • And from here we have the door

  • that goes out into our garden,

  • which is on two levels.

  • (soft music)

  • So up here we have the little balcony area,

  • which has got lots of pots and lovely things.

  • This is one of my rose bushes over there.

  • And then we have stairs that go down

  • to the second part of our garden.

  • (birds chirping)

  • So this is our lovely second bit of the garden.

  • Lots of nice greenery, we did a little

  • garden tour video like two years ago.

  • I shall link that above as well.

  • We've got three different types

  • of roses in the garden.

  • And there's an apple tree, very nice.

  • And obviously the magnolia.

  • And then in here we have our new room of doom.

  • (chiming music)

  • This is Claudia's room, I'm gonna call it.

  • It's essentially like a shed but

  • really full of stuff.

  • (chiming music)

  • Thank you so much for watching,

  • we hope you've enjoyed this little tour

  • around the house that we once owned.

  • And we look forward to seeing you in my next video,

  • where we will be in the new house!

  • (applause)

  • I don't know why I'm clapping like a seal.

  • (applause)

  • It just-- - Ow, that really hurt.

  • - I'm overexcited. (laughing)

  • Oh did I smack you with my ring?

  • - Anyway, we are quite tired, we need to go.

  • We've got to get packing.

  • - We do!

  • As you can tell, we've not packed.

  • - Yep.

  • (lively violin music)
