Hello everyone! Hello! So today we will finish or I should probably say almost finish
the master bedroom in our Victorian terraced house here in England.
Yeah, so let's get started. Yes, let's go upstairs and give it a go.
Come on. One duvet. Okay, that's the duvet and this is the the cover for it.
Very grandma style, I love it.
Um. Where's the front?
Ah okay, it's got buttons.
Now, give it to me.
Jörg? Um? We forgot something. Oh? What?
To kiss? That too. The flat sheet. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah, we forgot the flat sheet and because
you know, we don't, it's not the German way but because we live in the UK and because we love it
when we stay somewhere we just want to give it a try.
Where's the flat sheet? Outside? Yeah.
Exactly. Good.
Wow, that looks posh. I don't know.
And of course pillows.
Still need to do this one.
Okay two pillows on each side.
And here as well.
Looks very inviting already, doesn't it? Yeah, I'm getting tired. You're getting all sleepy? Yeah.
Okay, come on. Okay. Like this.
Like this.
This looks nice. Don't you think? Yeah. This looks nice but needs more, it needs
two more pillows which I'm getting now. And two wonderful decorative pillows.
Very cosy and comfortable and you'll see later that they look wonderful with our curtains.
And of course two beautiful lights for our bedside tables to finish it off.
Look what I just found! An old frame. Yes, that's one of our very old frames. Yeah.
I think we should use it. Yes, that's a good idea. A nice picture maybe the two of us - hmm -
and then it would make the room a bit more personal. Yeah. Let's give it a try. Yes, okay.
Jörg, can you have a look here? What do you think about this one?
Oh yeah, oh yeah, that's good. That's great, isn't it? Yes. Okay, let's let's go for that one.
And now we will get the picture printed for our frame. Let's go.
What do you think? Easy. Yes. Let's go home. That was easy. Okay,
we came back with the with a picture and put it in the frame and it will sit on Jörg's bedside table.
Wonderful. And this is from our Jane Austen Week in Hampshire.
Mr Darcy and Elizabeth Bennett adoring him. I love it. It's such a great memory.
And this is our master bedroom. It's not entirely finished but we really love it and
we hope you like it as well. And I thought like towards the end of this video, I just
talk you through some of the things we got because I know that when Jörg and I are looking for
I don't know something we really want to have or just need some inspiration
I just love watching those videos. And Jörg asked me to do it by myself because he said
"I don't really have a clue" although of course this room is well, we both worked on it. Now the
great thing about this house is when we bought it we didn't really have to do a lot of work.
We had a wonderful frame and just some years before we bought it, everything was refurbished,
rewired and things like that so that's really good. We didn't have to spend any money on
that. And what we really love about this room is that it has beautiful wooden floors and of course
we kept those because they are old and just add a lot of character. So this room of course had
sockets and switches but they were plastic ones in in white and they didn't look nice at all so
you can see this is a toggle switch and we exchanged all the other sockets as well. And
it adds so much character and just looks so nice in this Victorian house. This is our iron bed and
one of the very first things we got for this house before we even moved here. We ordered it before we
moved here because we've always wanted one. And now that we live in the UK we made our dream come
true so we have an iron bed here in our master bedroom. We have one in our guest room as well
and it's wonderful. Now the wallpaper is from Colefax and Fowler. It's called 'Darcy' and also
something we had before we moved into the house. This room didn't have any any built-in closets,
nothing whatsoever and yeah, we had this wonderful built-in closet um, made by a very talented and
young joiner and we absolutely love it because we just we just needed storage and yeah,
I think it's perfect. This is our gorgeous chest of drawers, an antique piece and yeah, it's walnut
and it's really really beautiful. And this gorgeous box which is from Antoinette Poisson,
a French brand in Paris, I got this as a Christmas present last year. And in it I keep all the
fabric samples that we got for this room because finding the right fabric for curtains wasn't easy
to be honest. And we have so many fabric examples here, gorgeous fabrics, and we just keep them.
We also have some antique paintings in this room that we absolutely adore so this one,
here's another one and I will link the source down below in the info box in case you're looking for
something as well. And these two Georgian ones that we got from an antiques dealer
and we really love the the frames. The gorgeous wall lights are from Jim Lawrence and we have
so many lights from Jim Lawrence. As you can see we have two more above the bed.
This light fixture is about 20 years old and we've already had it in our house in Germany and thought
it would look great here which it does. And we only added the ceiling rose. Some months ago we
went to Lorfords Antiques in the Cotswolds in case you haven't watched the video I will link it for
you and we found this gorgeous antique sunburst mirror and thought it would look just incredible
for this space. And only about two weeks ago we finally received our antique bedside tables.
It took a while to find them because we needed a certain size for this room. They aren't identical.
Mine as you can see has three drawers. Jörg's just one. Both have beautiful marble tops and
look absolutely divine. For the bedside tables we actually bought rechargeable lights because
we don't have too many sockets here so that was the best solution and they are from Pooky. And
the absolutely gorgeous lampshades were made by Rosie de Ruig. I will I will link a video
for you down below in the info box because I do enjoy watching videos from House & Garden and
there's a video about her. And yeah, I think they look wonderful. I found this gorgeous decoupage
tissue box on Etsy because I don't know about you but I always need tissues right next to my bed.
One of the most annoying things about creating this room was waiting for the curtains. We got
them from a brand called Jane Clayton and we chose them because they have such a huge range of
fabrics and wallpaper and yeah we had to wait for about three months so the lead time is absolutely
insane but we love the results. So we had the the blind we've we've had that for a long time now.
And that's a Sanderson fabric and the curtains are a Sanderson fabric as well.
I think it's called Chiswick and it's absolutely wonderful. We love the
the colour and the little birds in them. And the trimming is something we absolutely adore.
I must admit I've always wanted curtains with with a trimming and this is the first time.
And we really like it. The trimming is from Samuel & Sons and it's just,
I think the perfect addition. Now we also decided to use tassels for the curtains.
Now tassels aren't everybody's cup of tea. We absolutely love them because we like we
we're not into very modern features as you can probably tell and think it looks absolutely
wonderful with the curtains and the blind so it's just, overall it's a wonderful result.
Now for the bedding, I must say I'm a huge fan of Rita Konig. She's such a wonderful interior
designer. I love her house her farmhouse in Durham. I think I've watched the video
10, 15 times. And also there's a video where she's talking about making beds. And I've watched that
many times as well and just took her tips to heart.
And yeah, we got some new bedlinen and this is from Cologne & Cotton and the
quality is absolutely amazing. And as you can see this is just
and this is just absolutely adorable. And these cushions are from Lewis & Wood. And yeah,
this is linen and the quality is outstanding. The quilt is from a brand called Shenouk. Not
entirely sure about the correct pronunciation but it's absolutely perfect for this iron bed.
So this is a corner that's actually not finished because we're looking for a chest of drawers
that's not too deep to go there because we simply need storage. And yeah, we will probably need to
keep on looking for a while but that's fine. But other than that I absolutely adore the cushion.
And that's vintage Colefax and Fowler. And a great styling tip for chintz cushions like this one is
that you take a cushion pad that is about five centimetres taller than the actual cushion cover
because it makes it look extra plum. Quite obsessed with this one. You know what? This just
looks like the icing on the cake if you ask me. Oh you're there? I'm here yes. Finally.
You got away and let me do all the talking. I did the cooking. No,
that's true. While I was doing the talking, Jörg prepared dinner - yeah - and that's good as well.
In German we we call that 'Arbeitsteilung'. Yes. Well, we hope you liked the video. Yeah,
we we hope you like room. Yes. We love it. Yes. I just mentioned that we we're not entirely finished
so we're looking for a chest of drawers. Yeah. And we just need to take our time to find them
the right thing. Yeah but it's very close to what we want it to be. Yes, absolutely.
Well, stay tuned for more. I think there will be more - yeah - more things um,
how would you - there's still plenty to do in the house. Yeah, exactly. Still a lot jobs. Our
dining room for example - yes - which is a mess. It's it's still a mess and we have so many ideas,
so little time. Yeah. But we will get there I'm sure. So thank you so much for watching
and we'll see you again very soon - yeah - so until next time. Bye. Bye bye. Bye.
