I'm a landscaper in BC so I have a little bit of insight into your grass. Basically, the heat waves will continue to be intense like they were last week, August will be dire and your grass likely doesn't have a chance this year. You're basically just going to waste your water and your money trying to revive it at this point. However, if you fert like a fiend (in the fall, if you fertilize when it's hot it will scorch your grass) and let fall and winter rain do its thing it should reestablish. To be on the safe side in mid to late September - whenever we start having consistent rain re-seed your lawn with the seed that your sod is made out of and it will fill in the fried beyond repair bits.

Congrats on your new home - it's so beautiful! And thankfully all that drama is behind you. Moving just sucks. I'm moving on Saturday and I want to burn all my belongings. 🥴

I would have been in a RAGE if that happened to me when moving... moving is stressful enough, but when you think you have everything figured out and then that happens?!.... & WILD that THAT was their solution too, Aug 18, what in the world were they thinking? I am so glad you had friends to lean on who could help you out in a pinch. SWEET JESUS - 52?! I am in Alberta, that heat wave was no joke, we broke records all over the place and we are starting another stretch of sweltering hot. No one has ac here either Honestly, I am shocked you are able to give us this update so calmly! You are a total trooper, you went through so much! I hope your stuff and your car arrives quickly!

Sorry about the unfavorable circumstances that led this video on, but also Lowkey so excited to watch new content!!! 😅 so happy for you guys and the new house!

When she said 52 degrees and the heat it did not calculate in my brain lol. I was thinking Fahrenheit lol. 52 degrees Celsius??????? That’s insane.

Matt and Sam for the win!!

I would also recommend getting an air purifier soon. This year we are (Vancouver and surrounding areas) supposed to get really bad wild fire smoke. Grass will grow back in fall once it starts to rain...it will survive! Sorry about all this moving difficulties...let's hope it will just go better from here! I have my fingers crossed for you.

I mean, you are my favorite girl on the net. So real and so sweet!!! ❤️ I wish you good luck, everything is gonna be alright!

The cursed move vlog is here 😂 The worst of it is most likely over, hopefully there will be some interior design content 🙌🏻🙌🏻

You’re long time viewers--we knew it would not go as planned lol

Friend pls don’t feel bad about not vlogging, it’s just good that you all made it and it will all turn out okay🌻

OMG I can imagine the rage about the movers and not being able to get a hold on anyone it’s the worst! But I hope that everything starts to take shape and take it slow, breathe and lots of hugs from Mexico 💕 crossing my fingers for you and very happy to see Meryl it’s fine as well 😊✨

Your moving story almost sounds like mine haha I literally signed on my home and the snow storm hit in Texas the next day🤦🏻‍♀️ but it’s still surreal having my own home! So excited for you!

So glad to see you back. I swear….moving never goes accordingly. Cheers to Sam and Matt!!!! That was so wonderful of them to help…I couldn’t imagine how defeated you must have felt Allana!!!….big hugs 💗💗💗

Girl, oh boy. I am so sorry for how stressful that all went down. I’m so grateful you have a support system and resources to get it turned around in your favor. Great idea for the air tags!

NEVER CLICKED SO FAST! IVE BEEN WAITING SINCE IG STORIES

I love that Sam and Matt saved the day but I’m so sorry the move was so rough 😞

We had a similar move from Ontario to Alberta. Movers were a scam on both ends, took a week longer than they said so we were 3 weeks without our stuff in a new city where we knew no one, had a one year old baby. We were told not to ship our car because it would get scratched so my husband had driven it while my son and I flew. Absolute nightmare!

52 Celsius = 125.6 Fahrenheit! 🔥💀

I'm down in the Seattle area (Tacoma exactly, but most don't know where that is). BUT. That. Heat. Wave. Broke us haha. It was insane I'm so glad you guys were able to stay healthy and safe through it!

Just a heads up, cats can still scratch leather/destroy a leather couch. Our two have destroyed one side of our leather couch by using it as a scratching post. We bought it assuming they wouldn't be able to wreck it but alas. Love the couch btw!

Just kick back and relax, and nobody's gonna die without you posting off schedule ;) Just give yourself the well-deserved grace

I was just thinking about y’all this morning, hoping everything was ok with the move😔 hopefully it all works out❤️❤️ God bless Matt and Sam

Wow that was the definition of “when sh*t goes downnn”. Glad you guys pushed through despite the circumstances. Congrats on the new home and hope it is smooth sailing from here on out!

I’m in Vancouver too and that heat wave was absolutely unbearable. I think 700 people died. It was just insane and horrific.

The best laid plans and all that. If you are allowed a bath with water restrictions, take some baths and use the bath water to water the grass afterwards. Also, get some water butts from guttering drainage set up for next year, then you can collect rain water to have on standby for when hot weather affects you’re lawn. We’ve got 2 water butts because we go away in our caravan for weeks at a time in summer and the U.K. can’t cope with heatwaves, we end up with hosepipe bans. That way, when it goes brown, you can revive quicker with regular watering from the water butts. Any water that isn’t full of washing up liquid or bleach can be used as water for your lawn instead of letting down the plug hole. If bath is on the back of house where lawn is, siphon the water using a long pipe rather than carrying it in a watering can or buckets.

Its a blessing in disguise that the moving company didn't work out - they would have lost all your stuff anyways.

As a Floridian, I’ll never understand buying a house without AC….we would die! Lol

What a nightmare! With all the struggles you guys have faced getting in to your new house, the rest of your journey will be extra sweet, I’m sure💜

The way I already knew that story but was still ready to CRY at Matt and Sam coming through for you like that. That’s true friendship right there 💕

I am so sorry, I think everyone who has ever moved… and those of us who have had the crazy stress of long distance or cross country moves all reallllly relate!!! PS your NARS cream bronzers came back in stock for one last time.

Wow. I’m literally sitting on an air mattress with my work laptop in an empty apartment and I’ve never related to a video so much!!! lol Our items are still in transit and won’t be here for another week or so. My move is from Wisconsin to California. Thank you for the video and for sharing your experience!

Congrats on the move Alanna!! I moved from Sask to Victoria 9 months ago and even as someone used to Prairie heat, last week on the Island LEVELLED me lol. Welcome back to the West Coast!!! 🦋🌞🌈✨🍀💫

Lived here my whole life. Did not know restoration hardware had a freaking outlet !!! 😅😅

Even if it wasn't as smooth as it could have been WE ARE ALL SO PROUD OF YOU BOTH! ♥️♥️ Congratulations on your beautiful love and your beautiful home and your beautiful life! It warms our hearts to see you happy.

Allaaaanaaaa! I was so grief stricken yet livid on your behalf when you were describing all the moving woes you two have been through!! My God!! And that house is divine!!! 😍😍 That arch caught my attention right away! I love the furniture, the layout of the house...! Here's to you never having 52° heat in or around you ever again! ❤❤

So sweet of you to update us during all that is going on in your life! So happy for you and your new home is beautiful, can’t wait to see how you are going to decorate it. Have been following you for many years and when you said you are leaving toronto, it made me sad even though we have never met!

Yay for the first night's sleep in your new home! I remember that excitement when we purchased ours, first night on an air mattress, hot AF because no air conditioning, and we moved during the summer too. I'm beyond excited for you, Dan & sweet Meryl. Please don't apologize, so many things were beyond your control. We're just happy to see your faces. Finger & toe papettes crossed. 🎉💞🤞🌞🎉

God, you poor souls. What a story! And FIFTY TWO DEGREES CELCIUS?! I can't get over that! I'm in Scotland and cannot fathom that! The new house looks like a lovely space - really hope your stuff arrives soon and that you, Dejan & Meryl get all sorted and settled soon. xxx

Gah!!! Seeing your excitement to be in your new house after everything you've been through made me so happy!!! Stoked to see the evolution as the space gets furnished and officially becomes HOME. 🥰 Sending all the happiness even through the bumps in the road.

You probably won't see my comment, but maybe it will help someone out. Try watering your grass in the evening, it will have more time to soak in before it dries out. Light colour blinds are the best because they don't get as heated as the dark ones. Humidifiers are good for cooling the air in the house. If you have a basement it's a good place to sleep ( if it's livable) because it doesn't get as hot in there. I hope everything else goes well ❤️

I was thinking of you when I read about the heat wave in Canada - we had 40 Degrees about two years ago in Germany but 52 - I couldn't even imagine! Fingers crossed that was it for this year... I'm really sorry about your exhausting moving experience. But I do envy you for living near beautiful Vancouver Island - that was one of the nicest, most relaxed holidays I ever experienced and I hope to get to go back one day.

Idk why but this video is giving me so much comfort. Lol I've had a shitty week and I've been waiting on someone to come fix my fridge for the last 24hrs but I think you guys show that it's ok to be sad and frustrated and upset but that things still work out. Life goes on

Awww Lan, it's so good to see you in any capacity. This how much fun it'll be to make your house into a home. The house is absolutely gorgeous...

Congratulations Dejan and Allana. Beautiful new home, I hope the drama is behind you. Bless your new home

I live in Arizona so I’m used to seeing people complain about hear when it’s 100* F so I had to check out what 52* C was in Fahrenheit and I can’t believe it got that hot. You never really get used to the heat but I can’t imagine you all dealing with that out if there blue. This summer my car got up to 133* F according to the thermometer for outside! Over here just as miserable as you all!!

What a wonderful vlog- omg how little things change... My dh of 44 yrs and I have gone through this many times in our years. It took forever before we bought our 1st home (and 2nd etc.). We wish we could do it all again, even with the same hassles and mixups you've had and many more. I love your home/couch/chairs- love you vloggin for us, love the fat boys :) it's all wonderful, a new beginning. Thanks for keeping us apprised!

I cannot begin to imagine how stressful this experience must have been for you, it was traumatic just hearing about it 😅. I hope you get your car and all your stuff very very soon 🤞🤞🤞 your house looks absolutely gorgeous and I can’t wait for the future house content and hope you’re both very happy in your new house 🏠 ❤️

Lan!! You guys are troopers. Honestly. And now I love Sam and Matt even more. Thank goodness they came through for you, I would’ve been sobbing as well. I’m sorry but that first moving company made one too many mistakes, that is just not OK. But you are there, you’ve got a mattress and some beautiful furniture, Meryl is OK. Keeping you in my thoughts for sure that everything comes quickly going forward. It’s a beautiful space! ❤️

OMG, everything, the story, your house, THOSE CHAIRS!!!!! Please get Meryl multiple scratching posts so that she doesn't need to wreck anything. Congratulations on this new stage in your life.

What a move! That’s so exhausting. Moving really is the worst. Congrats for finally being in the house!

This is so intense! I can't believe the bad luck you've had with the move, but so happy it is coming together slowly! Congrats on the new home 💕

We are coming up on a year of being in our new home and while not everything has gone to plan it is just now starting to feel like our home for…. Forever? Congratulations and I am so excited to see it all come together.

I am so sorry for all of your problems. Your home seems truly wonderful and I so hope you will have many many happy years there. Big hug to all of you.

Oh man I am so sorry about those darn movers! I would have been so upset too. I love your new house 🏠, beautiful. Very excited to see the progress, slowly but surely. Don't even worry about the filming too much, you have so much going on right now & I will absolutely pray for you guys!! Take care xoxo 😘💕

I’m sorry about the difficulties you’ve had with your move. Someday you’ll laugh about it and it’s always a story to tell. Question about the AirTags…their range is only 30 feet. Anything beyond that, you have to report them lost on the FindMy app and then they will ping off of other Bluetooth devices nearby the tags. Also, after 3 days of being out of range, they ping a constant sound. Maybe you’re just seeing the last known location?

Your new sofa and chairs look so chic. Now you need a beautiful massive rug to go in between and under them. I envy the fun you are going to have picking out all your homewares!

I actually trained my senior kitty not to scratch!! She prefers cardboard first of all. So catching on that she did, I got those perforated cardboard scratchers. I used catnip on them & kept praising her. Then I used a treat, (freeze dried chicken bits) I kept them nearby & gave her one every time she scratched. Even at night from my bedroom, if I heard scratching I’d run out & say good girl, good girl. Once in a while she stretches on the arm of the sofa & I tell her NO. I shoo her away gently. All my life I’ve had our kitties ruin furniture! This worked. It took a lot of watching her but worth it. 💕 you!

Oh my goodness I am so excited for you both! 🥰 I can’t believe the hiccups you have experienced along the way, but once everything finally sorts itself out you are going to feel so satisfied. I love watching your videos and honestly don’t mind the delayed posts, you take 👏your 👏 time 👏 ❤️

I can already picture a few BOP plants everywhere. Love it! Looks awesome

I’ve had too many terrible moving experiences I refuse to hire movers again LOL

I’m so sorry. What an experience. Happy you’re in your house. Can’t wait until Meryl is with you. Congrats 🎉 ❤️

after all the drama, i’m so happy for you guys 🤍🤍🤍🤍

Bless Matt & Sam

The fact that all you can see out your windows is big beautiful trees is amazing!

Me and my bf just recently bought a house and ran into similar moving issues… I scheduled the electric and water to be turned on the day we would be arriving at the new house, but when we arrived it was so HOTTT in the house. No electric for the first week because the utilities company got the date wrong on their end. It was unbearable, but we made the best of it! I’ll be thinking of you guys and sending best wishes as you continue to get settled in!! 💞 Congrats to you two!

Best of luck in your new home

CANT. WAIT!!! to see how you and Dejan decorate your (hopefully) forever home!!! i don't think you want to move again after this debacle with the moving company! can't wait!

I’m so sorry you are going through this.. I would be livid. Absolutely LIVID. But what can you do? You have a great attitude and that’s all it takes. You’ll have stories about this for years.. praying your stuff gets to you swiftly and intact. ❤️💫❤️

I always feel so light and positive at the end of one of their videos.

Your happy face at the end showing us round your beautiful new home 😍 congrats you two 💙

Congratulations on your new home, it’s lovely! I’m sorry that there were so many hiccups, but now you are home! Hopefully the rest of your stuff comes without anymore delays.

First of all … just love you and second…thank goodness for good friends who come through for us! So glad you’re getting settled!

Congratulations on your new house! I am so sorry it was not a smooth move. I can tell you are so happy! Looking forward to more videos! I pray the rest of your stuff gets there soon. ❤️ so lovely your new home! Also so happy you guys are close to both of your parents houses.

S**t happens but all you can do is to stay positive, both of you are now closer to your families and in your own home! Congrats! 🥳

The light in this house... 👌🏼and the house in itself is beautiful. Wishing you all the best in this new chapter, can’t wait for what comes next 😍

Congrats on your move and new home! Sorry to hear you had such a bad experience with the moving company. I moved to Vancouver from Toronto 3 years ago and I used a company called Augusta movers and they were wonderful. I thought I would leave their name here for you or anyone else needing to move. All the best with the rest of your move and settling! ❤️

It’s beautiful. Congratulations to you both again

Missed you lan!! I swear you always find the best furniture deals!! So happy for you guys

I would have been so pissed at the moving company and I’m glad they gave you your deposit back, as they should have. I love your new home and I’m happy for both you and Dejan. Good luck with the rest of your furnishings.

OMG this was amazing!!!! Already in love with your new house and can’t wait to see more!!! Many many congrats for your purchase and patience throughout this process! Everything will be OK and soon enough you’ll settle in! Enjoy the process and thank you for sharing!!!!! 😍🥰😘🙌🏼🤗💗🍾🥂🏡

my cats had wrecked my previous fabric couches, but I got a "leather" one from ikea & they don't even touch it, but be careful with how long meryls claws get! my cat would stretch up the side or front and leave little picked marks which doesn't look great, but if you make sure to always keep the claws clipped it should be fine!!

Omg. You are so nice and calm about this. I’d be out of my mind! I hope your stuff gets there soon!

It's been a long journey, but it is so wonderful to see you in your own beautiful space! The house looks pretty perfect. So happy for you guys xx

Wow ... just wow! Moving is stressful enough - I know, our family spent over 25 years moving every few years in Canada and abroad with the military - but this takes the biscuit. Glad that things are beginning to work out and best wishes for eventually getting settled in your beautiful new home.

Moving is awful, no matter how well you plan it. Wishing you lots of good days ahead, and hope you receive your belongings soon! Beautiful house, can’t wait to follow along on your new adventure!

Okay and now I can say, you’re house is just gorgeous!!! I’m so looking forward to following along on the journey of setting things up, decorating and making it your home. The kitchen 😍😍😍😍 So thrilled for you Allana and Dejan! And sweet Meryl!

Congratulations Lan! So happy for you! Glad you all made it safely 😊

Wow what a journey thus far! I’ve always admired how you’re able to find such quality pieces and get a deal on them. I’m sure your home is going to come together beautifully. Such an exciting time for you and Dejan!! 💛

Congratulations on your new home! How very exciting!

I’ve been watching you since your college days so I’ve seen you move so many times and it makes my heart happy to see you in your house!! Congrats 😊

I’m so sorry things didn’t go to plan. Isn’t that always the case with cross country moves? Local move?! WTF? How could they get that so wrong? 😭 Things can only go up from here. 🤗. Glad Matt came through for you guys. I would have been in absolute tears as well.

Ugh!! so sorry the move was extra stressful through no fault of your own... must've been incredibly frustrating. Happy all is well now... hope the weather stays bearable for you up there 💛

Here in Seattle I was thinking about you during the HEATWAVE! Your story sounds like a nightmare, but seeing your peace and calm in your new home, it was worth it in the end. It’s lovely. God Bless your home and you guys!! P.S. Your juicy neon green is everywear and it’s officially the color of Summer ‘21. Always so ahead of the game 😘💋

Well after several ffs watching this I want to wish you and Dan & Meryl all the best luck for life in your new home. May you make many happy memories there x

I’m so happy for you both! Congrats on the house. You will love being close to family. Family is the most important thing in life ❤️

Omg we are planning a move across Europe literally from one end to the other and I am freaking out now after this movers horror story 😭 hope all ends well for you though 🤞🏼

Congrats on your new home!!💙💖 you guys are troopers, the worst is behind you and I can’t wait to see you decorate and bring it all together!! 🤗

Quite the ordeal! Glad you guys are safe… prayers your stuff follows sooner rather than later! So looking gorgeous (as per the usual!)

Your home is sooo beautiful! I hope that all of your things arrive quickly and safely 💕
