Thinking about tackling the fireplace this weekend

Thinking about tackling the fireplace this weekend.. we’ve got a “new” (read: old) marble fireplace with cast iron insert which I’m restoring and cleaning up to replace this art deco pink dream, which sadly will have to go although I do kind of starting to like it … I wonder if it will come off in one go ? 🤔 swipe to see the cast iron insert I’ve been restoring.. our house is freezing at the moment.. we have old radiators/draft coming through where the boards were removed etc etc so this fire has saved us .. at least one room is warm so I hope the weather isn’t too cold this weekend as I don’t want this to be out of action for too long …

I know I’m getting ahead of myself but can’t help ordering some samples for the stairs (that still needs a gazillions layers of paint removed) ..

*insert crying emoji* panels have gone.. the beaut

*insert crying emoji* panels have gone.. the beautiful “wooden” panelling was actually asbestos sheets and was the first thing on our list to sort .. they were safely removed and disposed of by specialist company .. sadly it wasn’t an option to keep them but I’m hoping to recreate something along these lines when we come to decorate this room 👍🏼 we are also squeezing a downstairs toilet in this corner and my dream pink sink👌🏼

Happy New Year everyone! Well I hope your year has

Happy New Year everyone! Well I hope your year has started better than mine .. Rona has got us again.. 🤒 can’t actually believe it but we’re in isolation again after a wonderful Christmas 🎄 and although I had big plans to start stripping the paint of the staircase while I was off I’m not sure I have the energy to do it at the moment… swipe to see the progress .. the panelling is also now gone… but more on that another day ..

FLOORS.. let’s talk floors for a minute .. this

FLOORS.. let’s talk floors for a minute .. this house had every carpet going.. seriously watch the house tour to see that each room had a a different coloured carpet 😆 .. as the house was left empty for quite a long time and had some damp issues it meant the carpets smelt so we couldn’t wait to rip them out !! To our surprise the flooring underneath was in perfect condition which is great.. however our house has suspended flooring which means there’s a void underneath and it’s very very VERY cold without anything covering this subflooring… we can literally feel the cold coming through so as much as I love them, we will be covering them up with some insulation and some wooden floor (if the budget will stretch some lovely parquet/wood flooring )…

Stairs … not really sure what to do with this sp

Stairs … not really sure what to do with this space.. what colour scheme to use… one thing I know is I definitely won’t make the same mistake as in our old house .. I really really wanted a runner but got talked out of it by our carpet fitter and had a carpet fitted instead .. always regretted it and said I would always stick to what I .. I mean what WE want 🤭 .. so this time I will be getting my dream runner .. what’s your preference - runner or carpet {also run in a little poll on stories} ?

Temporary bedroom (future office /craft room) has

Temporary bedroom (future office /craft room) has had a lick of paint.. much brighter already but still bloody cold so I’m not doing anything else in the room for the time being 😂 (see my post from the other day) woodchip wallpaper is still well and truly stuck to the other walls and ceiling … it defeated me I’m not going to lie and I’m pretty sure the whole ceiling will be coming as I can’t face taking the wallpaper off 😡 embracing my new motto - small steps are still worth celebrating ..

If you’ve been following our journey and my stor

If you’ve been following our journey and my stories recently you know that we’ve not really done much on the house as (a) I’ve been feeling rubbish thanks to long covid since July and (b) we’ve been waiting for the architect to come do the measurements and plans.. we’ve had another meeting with the architect and it’s looking good 😁.. I couldn’t be more excited to turn this house into our dream home and hopefully by next year I will be feeling better too ..
on a different note the tree we thought we may have to get rid (and spend just over 1k! 😬)can stay afterall🌲

The only room that I have really attempted to reno

The only room that I have really attempted to renovate since we moved in (well tried to give it little facelift) was the spare bedroom downstairs - future office/craft room but for the time being our temporary bedroom.. I gave up after stripping one wall because it was just too much … omg whoever invented woodchip wallpaper😡 !! well it was very temporary as we discovered a leak in the guttering outside which caused some damp issues to this room … as the weather was getting colder this room got so cold 🥶 that even the rugs and heating couldn’t save us .. after getting a chest infection (Shaun) and using 2 duvets and hot water bottles we decided to “move in” the living room next to a nice warm fireplace and sleep on a mattress which I must admit I kind of love 😂 who said renovation life wasn’t fun !?? Repeat after me … it all be worth it in the end……….

HOUSE WITH THE YELLOW DOOR … I’ve decided that

HOUSE WITH THE YELLOW DOOR … I’ve decided that it was time to start documenting our house renovations even if the progress is small or almost non existent at the moment … it is still progress .. first up - our panel parlour aka asbestos boarded dining room… unfortunately as much as I loved the panelling it had to go… the carpets are now out, the radiators removed, the boards (safely) removed by professionals and it’s a bit empty and cold at the moment .. but it’s progress —— swipe to see more . Still debating what this room will be but we have made a decision that the downstairs loo will definitely be squeezed in the corner somewhere in this room …still need to decide whether this should be snug/library with a log burner or our living room .. decisions decisions…

I have been so absent from the grid it’s not eve

I have been so absent from the grid it’s not even funny.. it’s very hard to showcase the house when nothing much is happening and it’s looking like a mess but then I decided you know what I want to show the good the bad and the ugly .. so even though we don’t have much to show for yet… things are happening (slowly) as I’m still feeling a little under the weather …. Which are your favourite reno accounts (please tag) and do you prefer the pretty styled shots or the reality or a bit of both!? ❤️ 🏡
