Hi Ruby. You should our your plants in solid pots or put a saucer underneath, otherwise when you water them it’ll run straight through and you’ll damage the surfaces underneath. It’d be a bit dangerous to have water dripping near your tv!

I just wish I get a best friend like this with whom I can decorate our house with and make it our own personal space to feel comfortable and like ourselves! Loved the video Ruby and your house idk why has a little bit of an indian touch idk I think it's coz of the style of pillow covers and the sofa cover but it's looks really pretty ❤️

How is that pronounced? 🤔

I love it! A few tips: it would be good to get the plants a bigger pot, instead of leaving them in their nursing-pots, they might die more easily! And if you want to get rid of the color of your kitchen-cabinets: I didn't like mine as well, so I used self-adhesive foil. It's very cheap and you can remove it again! :) xxxx from the Netherlands!

Blakeny truly IS really good at art! The little mushroom on the fairy door is so precious 🥺✨

Overall, the makeover turned out bohemian and very cosy. The flowers gave a very fresh summer type vibe. And they blend, so beautifully. Great Work👍👍

I love that you have Timothée Chalamet on your photo string 😂 (I'm assuming it's him in Little Women). My flatmates and I spiritually turned our flat into a Timothée Church (it's best not to ask how). Next year, we hope to get a life-size cardboard cutout 😂

This reminds me. My roommate and I decided how we would lay out our doom room as college freshmen in the 1980s. It was in the mountains and had cold tile floors. We decided to put down loads of carpet samples. It was quite colorful. However, the tape we used to secure the sections didn't hold very long. Then the sections came up often creating tripping hazards. I believe we wound up having to remove all of them. I forgot what we did after that. However, I remember that time when we had our blank space and had to decide how we were going to design it. That was a really good feeling and inspirational for creativity.

As someone who has spent years in ED treatment, that genuinely scares me. It's an awful way to go through life and I really hope there isn't any issue. Ruby doesn't deserve to suffer at the hands of an ED. No one does. Ruby, if you see this and you're struggling, please reach out to someone.

Blakeney (sp?!) is such a lovely person, I wish everyone could have her as their best friend. Huge thank you to her for being in your videos, she is so special.

I love the old map. I have way to many maps and globes already but yours is really tempting, I don't own one from that time period.

Same! You should look in Waterstones if there's one near you! And I love that you kind of collect maps and globes!

Ruby, you can easily peel the stickers off nice jars with a hairdryer or olive oil - try heating the glue with a hairdryer first and if there are traces left, brush the surface with olive oil for a few hours and then wash it off ❤️

I feel like we all see a part of ourselves in Ruby's personality 💕

I love how happy and relaxed you look! This vid was really wholesome And I love it❤️

That turned out beautifully. Tip for the kitchen you can get foils special designed to cover kitchen fronts on Amazon , they are cheap. Cause paper will probably rip off quit fast or get wet

You truly made your space so much more cozy and put together with not even so much added. It shows so much of you two both, love it 😊👏🏻👏🏻

Your videos always fill me with so much joy and gratitude and after watching them I always feel like the weight on my chest has become a little lighter… I can‘t thank you enough and I really really hope you know what a kind and beautiful person you are :)

Love the transformation. The stars and photos along the stairs were some of my fave. The fairy door was a cute touch as well ☺️

I love the Aztec style. It is so aesthetic and I love the fairy door!!

Love the house tour! You two did a great job redecorating! And I think the kitchen cabinets look really interesting and unique- what a creative idea :)

Fantastic job, ladies! Very stylish yet also personalized and cozy ♥️

Super impressed - everything looks amazing! I wasn't sure initially about the New Yorker kitchen update but the final product looks fabulous and definitely lightens up that corner! I would keep it :))

You two did a fabulous job! I love the creativity and resourcefulness to make the stars and reuse old jars. You really transformed that sofa - uni house sofas are always a bit horrible but you made this look like a real home! So cute to see the personality of your friendship together coming out as well, I hope you’ll make more videos together in the future 😊

I love your videos Ruby but as a German I felt so uncomfortable when you unrolled the old map. I would never hang a map with the old borders…However I do see how that is something a Brit would not even think about, probably more something Polish people and Germans immediately recognise and feel more uncomfortable with 🙈

As an American I never would have thought about it either. Events that can seem long ago to some are still very near to others. For some, it is still talked about and felt, while for others it is just a paragraph in the history book they read at school. I recently found out that I had ancestors who fought on both sides of the American Civil War. It caused a temporary rift in the family. But now in my generation and my parents' generation, it's been forgotten. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say.

@@HFTLH I totally understand your point and I also understand how for a Brit this does not even cross your mind being weird to hang up on a wall. However, if this was to hang in a German home people would immediately think you are sympathising with right wing ideas and wishing back the Prussian empire. It simply makes you a highly suspicious person… Also this is the case not least because Germany a d Germans have a very sensitive approach to their history regarding WWII and the Nazis. There is this general mantra of „never forget, never again“. German history and especially the Nazi past is ingrained into us from a very early age and to us it’s not only history that is in the past and a simple note in a textbook but it’s a warning and a subject talked about extensively and intensively. We learn about it in philosophy, in classes on German literature, in French class, in art, and so on. So there is no way as to a German student would simply get a historic map like this one to hang on their apartments wall because well it’s historic and looks antiqu-ish or nice. There is another dimension to it for us, which I find to be good and responsible, given what and how history happened. I understand that this is weird and difficult to understand for a non-German, even more so for a non-European, but I wanted to try to explain the mindset and thought process behind this.

Hi Ruby, your home is sooo cozy I love it ! 🌻 Just a little tips from a girl who loves to keep the Wine labels after a degustation. You have to put boiled water into the glass to remove the label and have a nice and clean glass to put your flowers in ! XX

What a heartwarming video! If you take the sticker off the jars, you can use oil to rub the glue away. And soak them too so the paper gets off easily. The oil trick also works for those horrendous stickers on books! Thanks for your videos ruby 😊

Had fun watching this video, Ruby! Love you! I always get inspired when I watch your videos❤❤

OK! I have nothing to say! Your house is awesome! It's just... Just brilliant! I love it very much! Congratulations!

You’ve actually inspired me! I’ll try some of your craft decorating ideas this summer 🤩

something we do in our uni house is buy fresh flowers and/or pick some and when they are passed their prime we stick them upside down on our walls with tape, they dry so beautifully and now we have a gorgeous flower wall! if you have walls to fill, definetely try it!

Now I'm so inspired to make my room look so much better!!! Thank you Ruby!

The stars on the stairs is stunning! ⭐️

Awesome! This video reminded me of when my roommate and I went thrifting over the summer before our Junior year back in 2014.

Am i the ONLY person who thinks that the "red holder" wasn't so bad? Sure, the new yellow one looks better with the wall colour... I LOVE the way the stars look on the staircase, that is my favourite thing in this video! I mean, it is just so innovative AND pretty~! Also, I liked the plain cupboards more:P I might have not when I was your age XP. Anyway, good work, gals!

I love the little fairy door! ❤ I look forward to your videos every week. ❤

That fairy door reminded me of book nooks. They are basically little worlds between your books in your bookshelf and they are absolutely incredible!

I love the cabinets. So clever. And you two are so cute.

Loved the Morocco vibe rug. All colours are so calm and cute .

I LOVVVVE that fairy door (!!!), the photo scrap book, the artificial flowers (I'd put the candle stick holders more together in the middle of the window), the Native Ametican look carpet in front of the sofa and the star cut-outs.

“Don’t quit yet, the worst moments are usually followed by the most beautiful silver linings. You have to stay strong, remember to keep your head up and remain hopeful.” You doing great so don’t quit.

this was absolutely adorable! the lion rug is my personal favourite

It looks so cute girls. That vídeo made me remeber the thrill it was when i moved and decorated my new apt with my friend. Such good times. Enjoy :)

It turned out so nice! You might consider putting transparent adhesive foil on the kitchen shelves though so if you spill something (and the steam from cooking anyway) it won't destroy the pictures!

This was probably my favourite video ruby! So much fun 🤩

the transformation looks so great!

Lovely lovely video, and the decorating looks fabulous!

Hello Ruby! I’m a huge fan of your videos and I love what you did with your house!

wow it looks so cosy I love it ❤️

You could use oil to clean the glass jar. It removes all the glue and residues of the sticker.

Aw, that looks lovely!

I'm not at university, but I want to join the fairy door community! Love the room makeover, you two did a fantastic job. Love the stars hanging from the steps as well.

that fairy door is adorable!

What a beautiful welcome you will have when you come back in September xxx

The house looks so great and really cosy now due to your additions. It's funny how even small touches, like the flowers on the window sill, can make a homely feel. I did something very similar in a share house I lived it. It was very plain so I added throw rugs, cushions and candles everywhere for a more cosy feel. Is that a window behind the kitchen countertop? Has it been closed off / blocked up? Trying to figure out the geography this house - the front door is he laundry? Do you both have an ensuite? So the house will be empty until September? Nooo! But it will be so cosy and welcoming when you guys return!

Ruby thanks for positive vibes ❤

I love the cabinets so much!

Ahhh I just moved to a new place and I dream of decorating it! But I will have to go very slowly since I'm short on money. So I indulge in it vicariously through your video, it looks lovely :-)

a lovely little village called Whimple near Exeter has plenty of those little fairy doors dotted about the place! xx

I kinda can’t wait to move out (probably after uni, I’m third year which is placement now). I adore charity shops and I love older things, so I’m excited to decorate the way I really want for those good prices. Also, quite cute how you said Muriel instead of mural 😂

If you want to take the label off the mason jars, you only have to put it under warm water and rub with a steel wool sponge and dish soap!

BEAUTIFUL 😍🌸 I loooove
