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 👍🏼

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

Project fireplace was in full swing this weekend . Project fireplace was in full swing this weekend .. it’s a marathon not a sprint.. fireplace has been removed and my goodness it was solid …. Had to smash it inside the house as it was so heavy we couldn’t get it out of the house in one piece .. as always things don’t go to plan so had to remove more concrete than we wanted but as it was crumbling away we need a solid base so first layer of concrete was also laid.. there’s still lots of prep work left to do before the gorgeous cast iron and marble fireplace can be installed .. but we are one step closer … another layer of concrete going on this weekend … #dreamhome

Wallpaper galore .. everything apart from the floo Wallpaper galore .. everything apart from the floor in this room is wallpapered makes me dread to think about what lies beneath … love how the curtains are matching the floral wallpaper.. hoping to keep a piece of this house’s history by preserving some of the wallpaper .. 🌸 still can’t decide whether to have this as our bedroom or no as the eaves door is annoying me slightly … any ideas on how to disguise it? Clever panelling perhaps ?
