Bathroom wasn’t on the list to do first but thin Bathroom wasn’t on the list to do first but things happened and we ended up knocking a few walls down, completely re-designing the bathroom and changing the layout.. I must say this bathroom is actually better than the original one we had designed … tiler is coming in next week with the plumber in straight after .. 2 weeks and hopefully we can move back in and have a completely renovated bathroom - dream bath and all 🛁 [probably minus the doors as I still need to strip those] .. sanding and sealing the beam and sorting out the vanity this weekend !! Swipe to see the progress !! IOM folk if you need a great plasterer let me know or find Neil at NK Plastering has done an amazing job 👍🏼

Yellow bedroom number one .. this room might be ou Yellow bedroom number one .. this room might be our master bedroom or might not be 🤷🏻‍♀️ we haven’t decided yet .. we are hoping to extend and build a dormer to make the most of this space .. the stone wall near the door sadly must stay as it’s a supporting wall and instead will have an opening to a walk in wardrobe (old toilet) .. that’s if planning gets approved and all goes to plan .. send positive vibes please .. 🙏🏼 now shall we keep the bright yellow walls 🤔

Spent the weekend ripping the Lino tiles in the to Spent the weekend ripping the Lino tiles in the toilet .. our plans are to build a dormer and close up the door to the toilet and airing cupboard, and create one space and use it as a small walk in wardrobe which will be  connected to the bedroom next door .. we then want to place a door to the bathroom where the old radiator is .. planning officer is coming round next week to discuss this as he’s not 100% convinced about our plans 😭 fingers crossed as I’ve already ordered the tiles 🤣 🤞🏼 
Also how did anyone live with this radiator? I may have to take it off the grid as it’s giving me heart palpitations 😂 #notlevel
