The new place is lovely. Glad your feeling better.

"a cold and flu does still exsist" ..well said..very true some people think that covid has taken over every other cold related sickness. Best wishes for your new home. Sophie is adorable.

As a person who doesn’t appreciate the “open concept” layout, I really like your individual rooms, where you can have a different experience as you proceed through the house. You should have a fun time decorating! The outside area is so nice! Congratulations on finding such a beautiful home!

Dude, you're the only one I subscribe to that has such class and culture. I feel classier just listening to you. 🇺🇲 👍🏻

Wishing you and Sophie every happiness in your new home Nicolas. Take things slowly and enjoy the process. Good wishes.

Dear Nicolas, I so honor you for your willingness to share your space even when it is not perfect. We see so many KZfaqrs showing only perfection all the time. It is truly refreshing to see that you are so real. Moving is difficult, and being ill in the process can be so very hard. Thank you for sharing this beautiful space, I cannot wait to see how you transform it. If you would ever like to visit Laguna Beach California, mi casa es su casa. (My home is your home.) I love your channel, thank you. Love, Lori

J’apprécie chacune de vos productions et ce nouvel appartement a tout pour me plaire, sachant ce que vous en ferez. J’aime beaucoup votre raffinement, votre personnalité. Je suis âgée, 90 ans, mais toujours intéressée par ce qui touche cet art de vivre. Merci si vous pouvez mettre plus de vidéo sous titrée. Bonne réalisation dans vos projets

I like the way you were so natural and easy with everything instead of being to formal you are soothing to watch love from NZ x

So glad you were able to complete the move. Moving in perfect health is not easy, much less illness. Continue to improve and patiently take your time. The new place is truly lovely, with lots of potential. Can't wait to see how you and Sophie bring it all together! Thank you, Nicolas, for inviting us in.

Just lovely! In America we would call it a walk out basement, as not everything is underground like a traditional basement. I hope you feel better soon!

I love that you understand that a dining room needs to be used. Here in the states we have houses that have dining rooms that are in parts of the house that are never used, they are just for show or special occasions.

It’s a lovely space. I never imagined a basement flat could be so nice and spacious. A gem of a find.

Looks like a great space with lots of potential to put your touch on ! Hope you feel better soon.

Can't wait to see it when it's all put together. Take a soak in Epsom salts and go to bed.

I love Sophie’s gorgeous little face. Your new flat is lovely.

It's like you're not allowed to just get sick anymore without disclaiming, "I don't have the plague! Promise!" Hope you feel better!

Please rest and take care of yourself - first things first. Your new home will evolve and become beautiful. Thank you for sharing and we await the transformation ( after you are well! In the kindest mother voice ). Much love

For your kitchen, you can get press on tiles in many colors that look real! I love your big windows😃. And you need to plant bulbs in the fall if you want them to come up in the spring. They have to get cold over the winter in order to bloom in the spring. Good luck. Your apartment is lovely!

I was just thinking how lovely, bright, and cheerful the kitchen tiles looked! Huge living space. Looks gorgeous.

Let's be honest Sophie is the real star of this episode!! This place is just lovely and I am excited to watch you make it your own!

Can't wait to see how you decorate all the rooms. My niece lives in a basement apartment and hers has lots of windows and light also. Very important. Sophie will soon adjust. As long as she's with you she's good. Feel better soon.

You can paint the red tiles or cover with contact paper.

Oh, I love this basement flat! I usually associate "basement" with dark and depressing but this one is so elegant and luminous. It is lovely how there is a little terrace area that you can personalize and make lush and beautiful. I am sure you will do wonders with it!

Yes a very good FungShui layout with lots of potential decor setup.One tip in garden area green moss can be rid off by spraying a simple solution mix vinegar and water 💧half @ half.

'Glad to see you've coped with the actual move, in spite of feeling unwell; I hope you're feeling much better. Excellent room sizes for a city apartment; high ceilings and light are real bonuses, especially for a basement flat. If you own the flat, just paint the kitchen tiles for now and re-tile when you can; if it's rented, one idea might be to get a handyman to cut some 'tile effect' board to fit around the switches, etc., and simply clip this into place to cover the red tiles. Not ideal but it would, at least, conceal the offending items!

Dear Nicholas! Your new apartment is elegant and magnificent! The courtyard is gorgeous! It will be a pleasure for us to watch the process of decorating! Autumn promises to be perfect!

Congratulations! What a lovely home you've chosen, truly lovely inside & out! If I may dare to be so bold to offer a suggestion (my 2cents worth)? The feeling of a front entrance opening right into the main living space is a bit too exposed. However, if you simply add a (I know it will be a beauty w/ your eye) 'divider screen' on the open rm. side of Ent. door (floor to ceiling is best) with the top of the screen duplicating the light transom above your nice Ent. door (so that you don't loose any of that beautiful natural light). This will create a repose upon entering (add to safety/privacy) and afford you an added wall & or corner niche on living room facing side of screen (perhaps adding a chaise & small lamp table angled into newly created corner ... The hutch would then be well placed opposite the fireplace wall to balance (height & bulk) & with possibly two lovey chairs or potted trees anchoring each side of hutch which will also maintain elongating wall length/width. I pray you don't mind my imput. Your fab new digs simply inspired me to the point of compulsory response, please forgive. Best wishes!

Hi Nicholas, Thank you so much for inviting us into your new home. Love the facade to the block. You have a lovely space to decorate and experiment with new decor ideas. Definitely need a warmer colour on the walls to show off the colours of your furniture. Poor Sophie will be a little unsettled but will soon adjust with you by her side. I must say she is looking beautiful after her grooming. I hope you get to use that beautiful wallpaper. It brings the garden into the room and with the addition of mirrors, plants and beautiful lighting it will be magnificent. Hope you get better soon. Some good nourishing soups would do you the world of good. That you have an outdoor space to entertain in is marvelous and lends itself to so much.Until we meet again, take care of yourself.

Thank you for the tour. Sophie looks so adorable just hanging out on the rug in front of the fireplace!

The flat feels cozy homey. I can’t wait to see what you are going to do with it. Garlic, ginger, in your green tea with honey and vitamin C. You will get better soon. Best wishes

It was SO nice of you, when you haven’t been well, to show us you nee home!! So many things about it I think are wonderful. I especially love your little courtyard, there really is SO much you can do with that space, you will love it!!!! Please take care of yourself Nicholas, you have time to tackle it all 🙂🙂

Love, love, love your new flat! So glad you're feeling better. Appreciate seeing reality. I've lived in my home for 26 years and from time to time, I have a room or two that looks like I've just moved in. Relax, rest, and enjoy getting settled.

It's such a lovely place. Can't wait to see how you decorate it and feel better soon ⚘

I can tell you are not feeling well. The stress from moving probably compromised your immune system. I hope you feel better soon. On a happier note the new place is gorgeous. So much potential here. Your beautiful things are right at home. Poor little Sophie. She is bewildered with her new surroundings. She will adjust. The courtyard us fantastic. I love the idea of container gardening. By adding a bench and chairs you can extend your living space to outside. Miss Sophie will love that and so will your guests.

Hope you are feeling much better by now. Your new flat is quite nice. I think the wallpaper will be a lovely choice for your dining room. I'm rather partial to wallpaper myself, and think it a shame how rarely it's used in properties here in the USA. The front courtyard garden sounds wonderful. In addition to potted plants, perhaps you could knock together some timber boxes for raised bed gardening. I designed and built a small raised bed herb garden for my grandmother years ago. It included wire frame towers for architectural interest and up which I trained ivy and climbing roses. The herbs were useful for cooking and, if careful plant selection is made, can supply some simple country style floral arrangements. Your new place affords you ample opportunity to hone your decorating skills as you settle in, and I wish you and Sophie both health and happiness in your new home.

Hope you have lots of really good heat for the cold winter in Edinburg in a basement apartment. It is a beautiful apartment with so much light. I wish you lots of happiness there.

Thank you for welcoming us into your new home. I'm so glad that the move went smoothly and that you're taking the time to heal. I know that you will make this charming space as gracious and elegant as your former place. Best of luck to both you and Sophie (who, by the way, is adorable).

There are some lovely Le Crueset stovetop cooking vessels that are the exact colour of your kitchen tiles that would be perfect for styling your kitchen with flare.

A bit of thinking ahead of time is required in gardening, so remember to plant your bulbs this autumn to appear in spring. 🌷

Your new place is fabulous !!!! Sophie is such a good girl, not rushing out when you opened the door to the courtyard . Your flu is probably hanging on because you’re having to use so much energy with your move . Moving really takes it out of you even when you are young. . Rest ! Rest ! Rest ! Hope you feel better soon. 🙏🏻

Isn't it exciting to have a separate dining room?! I just bought my first house and it has a separate dining room. Hang a mirror on the wall opposite the window and it will bounce some light around. You can buy stock on tiles to put over the red ones in the kitchen, they are easy to remove when you leave. I can't wait to see what you do with the garden.

Your new place is absolutely beautiful. Even though you still need to unpack and decorate, I can tell it’s going to be stunning when your all finished with it. The courtyard is to die for!!

Love your beautiful “Cottage”. (It is nothing like US “basement apartments”), it’s so light and airy. Can’t wait to see you put you elegant, sophisticated touch on each room. Now that you’re in, take your time and rest up and get over this illness. I’ll be watching each week to see your progress. Cheers.

I was having a bad PTSD attack and always watching your videos help me relax. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️ you are old soul. I love it

I do so love a dining room that doubles as a library. The cottage is adorable. Enjoy decorating, there is nothing better than a blank slate. 💕

Fabulous new space. Glad you’re feeling better.

I love your new house. It is light, spacious, clean, private, with an excellent layout! What a joy. I hope this he brings you much abundance, health, love, success and prosperity. It is beautiful.

Dear Nicolas: I am so glad you are feeling better. Your new home is wonderful, more spacious yet cosy and hopefully easier to get around when necessary. Wish you and Sophie much love and happiness in this lovely space and look forward to seeing you make it your own.

So nice for the invite. The place is just lovely and you have wonderful ideas for designing to your personal likes. I do hope you feel better soon. Yes, do relax and enjoy your tea. Have a wonderful day. Cheers

I too, when I move, get everything pulled together in a matter of days. It always amazes my friends who say “how long have you lived here?” Best of luck in your new home. It will be fun to watch you transform your space. Be well.

Dear Nicolas. You have to plant your bulbs (12:13) BEFORE spring, in order to enjoy them! Get well.

May your new home be filled with good things, love, laughter and happiness.

There is sweet Sophie🐶💕💕💕You were going to make this beautiful I love it already! Loves and hugs and blessings from gram and Otis🐶from Massachusetts❌⭕️❌⭕️I hope you’re feeling better take it easy moving is always stressful especially when you’re sick because your resistance is down🥺

I love your new home: I would have chosen it just for those original shutters! And you already seem enveloped in its warmth and cosiness.

I love the windows and how much light you have coming in. Excited to see all your beautiful treasures decorating the new space.

Nicolas, thank you for the tour of your new place. I am so happy that you let us in and showed us your lovely new digs. It’s so spacious, and I can’t wait to see all of your touches when finished. It’s beautiful now but I know it’ll be breathtaking when you’re all through with it. Blessings in your new home.

So beautiful! I’ve heard of people doing a stick-on backsplash and have seen it in a white subway tile style that may be more up your alley than the red. I’m not sure how durable it is but I hope this helps! 🧡

So anxious to see what you do with your new place. My sister has taught me how lamps do bring so much warmth into a space. You have the seating in the living area worked out! How great to have a dining room now! Hope you feel better soon!

Absolutely love the wallpaper for the dining room!

A beautiful flat. I love the look of it, so quintessentially Scottish, that wonderful stone! Congratulations and thank you for the tour. 10/10 for being willing to paint it. There are things I work very hard at, but house painting is not one of them! LOL! Thank you for the video. Have a fabulous week and I hope you are soon well again.

I’m so excited for you. This space has such potential. I’m sure you will do beautiful things with it.

Not going to lie, I nearly squealed with glee when I saw the light in your living room. I loved the light you had in your previous home and was hoping you would be able to find the same feel. I can’t wait to see the tea and dinner spreads in your new dinning room. If you want to spend a few frustrating albeit visually rewarding hours, Amazon has a pretty nice selection of temporary black splash tiles. They are peel and stick and really change the whole look of your space (just did my kitchen this summer). I can’t wait for the garden videos. In the meantime, take it easy settling in, especially since your still recouping. I wish you much happiness and joy in your new home!

I used to think that I didn't like basement apartment but I have changed my mind since I saw this video. I'm sure you will bring a lot of fun, joy and beautiful little things to every where you live. Wish you all the best Nicolas.

Congratulations on your new spacious home, Nicolas. Because there is so much to do while you're still recovering, nice and easy going is the best approach. Relaxed efforts contribute greatly to health and safeguards one's sanity. --------- Could not agree with you more about the color white, which has always felt stark and cold to me. Even in bathrooms, I need my sinks, toilets, and tubs to be that gentle relaxed off-white creamy-light-beige color. The same color selection goes for wall plates, light switch covers, electrical outlets and their covers. Additionally, dimmers installed for every lamp, light fixture, and track lighting always makes for perfect control of light, mood, and atmosphere. Thank you for letting us view your new home. Good luck, much happiness, and many success's to you in your new home, Nicolas. Always...

So glad to see you looking better,this is so exciting your home is going to be beautiful,just don’t overdo it take your time,

I’m sorry you are feeling under the weather especially while moving. Nice space to work with! The court yard is fabulous!

Glad your feeling a little better. Love your new “cottage” just lovely especially love the courtyard area! So much you can do! Have fun!

I love how big and comfortable your new home is. Hope you feel better soon, take care!

It would have been really testy moving and being unwell. Take your time and hope you recover soon. I love the big windows and Sophie looks quite chilled in her new surroundings. Thank you for sharing 🌸🫖🌼

Best of luck in your new home Nicholas. It’s amazing. Looking forward to seeing what you’ll do to make it even more beautiful! Get well soon. Tomás (Ireland)

Hi Nicholas wish you well in your new place. Really looks great! Please includes us in your planning before you start with a room. Would like to learn from you. Functionality is so important when you do that! So, looking forward to that. The dining room paper really is going to make that room very special. Few suggestions to ponder on: the mirror on the mantelpiece is to big. Would rather put a smaller golden framed one (typical French) on and put the big mirror on the wall between your front door and the window with a beautiful Vass on a table under the mirror to dress a foyer entrance. Then move your beautiful cupboard, that is currently next to your front door in the corner where your book case is to make that space cozy. You can then put a chair near by to sat on work and still be able to see the street and people moving by. I believe in cozy corners in a room LOL. That big wall opposite your couch needs a statement!!! Would dress is with your beautiful botanical pictures and a beautiful darker table underneath. I struggle with mixing darker and lighter furniture. Maybe you can give us some tips. Those round picture frames either on both sides of the fire place OR in the dining room! Please take us step by step through the planning of a room. Would lov to learn from you. Sorry for the longgggg essay LOL>

What a fabulous house! Can’t wait to see how you add your personality to it. The courtyard is going to be magical.

LOVE seeing your new home. So hard to move when you’re sick. Can’t wait to see more. Enjoy your videos very much. Much love from North Carolina USA.

To make this video when you aren't feeling 100% is a testament to your sincerity. Your home will be even more beautiful when you finish. Can't wait to see what you have in mind for the red tiles!

I love your new flat. It’s very cottage and I know you will decorate it to perfection. Looking forward to taking this journey with you. Dogs are such creatures of habit so little Sophie might take awhile to adjust. Best wishes

Here in the states, they have peel and stick backsplash that actually looks very authentic. Perhaps you could use something like that while you live there. It’s a beautiful space. I love your little patio area. It has so much potential. I know you will make it very inviting! Hope you feel better soon!

A lovely 'cottage' Nicholas and I'm sure (when you are feeling really better) you will make it look superb. A nice size outdoor space which will give you another area in which to use your talents. I hope you will be very happy there.

It's a shame you couldn't bring your wardrobes. I think they would have fit nicely in the guest bedroom. I'm sure you'll enjoy your new home. The courtyard in front will be a great entertaining area. I'm looking forward to seeing your decorating episodes.

Congratulations! How exciting -- I can't wait to see it all when it's finished. Such a lovely place with so much potential. Especially the courtyard; there is nothing as wonderful as having your own little private space, surrounded by beautiful plants where you can go relax, meditate, or simply sit and read a good book. Wishing you many years of cozy comfort in your new home 🏡.

Love your new place..it is so cozy..can’t wait till you put your touches on it..glad your feeling better Nicholas

While I was watching, I kept thinking it had such a charming cottage feel about it. Just beautiful. So happy for you Nicolas (and Sophie) - Can't wait to see you get to decorating your stunning new home.

Oooh, wallpaper for the dining room! How absolutely brilliant - gorgeous wallpaper, perfect for the room! Could I suggest you find an open shelf/rack that you could place atop your bureau in the dining room and place your china on the shelves? Your china is so pretty - it's a shame to put it away in a dark cupboard. LOVE the courtyard. I can anticipate you will turn it into a very charming space, indeed. It's hard to convince others, isn't it, if you're ill with something other than CoVid. Humanity has lost its ability to reason and has become fearful of the slightest sneeze. So unfortunate. Glad you a feeling a wee bit better, even if drained. Trade secret of moms, dear one; chicken noodle soup with a rich broth truly is restorative when you've been wretchedly ill. It causes one to think that they will indeed live to see another day. Warm regards from El Paso, TX

Congratulations! May you & Sophie be happy, healthy, safe, prosperous in your new home and anywhere you choose to be. Thank you for sharing your new home with all of us! Feel better soon.

Prayers answered--NOT Covid! So good to see Sophie--haven't seen her for a while...Best think for colds/flu--lots of chicken soup...big advantage to basement flats--they are warm in the winter and cool in the summer and not high energy bills...you are fortunate to have so much bright light--if you do not wish to see the bridge outside the dining room, you can put shears over the window and still have nice light...you might wish to paper one or two walls and paint the other 2 or 3 walls (dining room)...also, nice large mirrors up the light effect and make the room look larger...if you do your bedroom first, it might give you a boost emotionally and give you a nice place to go at night while you are working on the rest of the flat...you had just done such a nice bedroom in the last flat...your courtyard is fantastic and will be a great place to entertain for about 5 months a year--you have enough room to put a substantial outdoor dining table (concrete or iron is nice), as well as a grill (if you like to grill) and even a small fire pit and seating area...you can also hang small twinkle lights for a very nice magical effect...I hope you and Sophie are very happy here and you will have lots of new friends there soon with your special picnics...dts/usa

Congratulations on your “cottage”, looking forward to see how you settle in and decorate. Also, Sophie is so amazingly cute ❤️. Get well soon Nicolas, you’re doing great!

Lovely home! I cannot wait to see what you do with it! Get better!

So glad that you are feeling better. I love your new home, and look forward to seeing what your plans for it is.

So happy for you and Sofia. You will put your beautiful touches on everything. Nicholas your home has such a personality! I love it. Wishing you good health!

Best wishes in your new home. Looks like a lovely space. Looking forward to seeing the transformation.

I look forward to seeing how your house gets decorated. I love red I’d love to see how you coordinate the tile.

Thank you so much Nic! You’re place looks lovely already, but know you’ll add your own touches I love so much! I hope you have a grand upturn in your health & you’re feeling fabulous soon!!

I hope you feel better soon. Sending healing energy. Love your new place.

Your new place is wonderful. Love the wallpaper for the dining room. ❤️ I can’t wait to see how you will this house into a home for you and Sophie.

What a beautiful home - so light and bright ! And having the courtyard is such a bonus - you will use that a lot in the good weather. Really enjoy your channel - such thoughtful, relaxing and beautiful content. Thank you !

Thank you for sharing your home. It is lovely. Feel better and rest up !

Thank you for sharing before, and looking forward to what you do with your new home! It is like a cottage, love all that stone! I think even in the Winter a potted Pine or Evergreen and a fountain of some sort will add even more charm. Put all on hold, have hot wine, go to bed and sweat this cold out. It works❤️

Muito boa "sorte" em sua nova casa!!! Gostei muito e fico aguardando o quanto de boas ideias viram pela frente em sua decoração. Beijos do Rio de Janeiro - Brasil.

Very nice can’t wait to see what you do with it, that outdoor space is great light it up with string lights and a heater with those walls you can use it much longer than you think.

Your new place is very spacious and know that your touches of decor will make it look even more beautiful. Enjoy your peaceful new place.

I hope you enjoy your new place, love Sophie's close up, I see she visited the groomer. Such a baby doll. Lots of love from you will help with the transition for her. God bless and take some time to rest you have been through a lot! Moving while sick I can't imagine! 🌞🌹
