- 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.
