The view from the shower aka the old airing cupboa The view from the shower aka the old airing cupboard that used to house the water cylinder …. We may had to move it twice (read pay twice to move it) but it was so worth it as Shaun got the shower he wanted, my huge bath could be in the centre of the room and we didn’t have to compromise on the size even if the dormer was a no go !!

The little yellow bedroom has had a full refresh . The little yellow bedroom has had a full refresh .. all the old lath and plaster is gone ✅ all the old render is gone ✅ roof tiles sealed ✅ insulation done ✅ and walls and ceilings have been freshly plastered ! I also of course stripped the beam to bring it back to the beautiful wood that was hidden under layers of paint and wallpaper .. it took us a while to get here but it’s so satisfying to watch the walls slowly dry and be able to finally start thinking about colour choices and designs.. weekend is going well 👍🏼

Bathroom didn’t quite go to plan as our planning Bathroom didn’t quite go to plan as our planning officer didn’t agree with our initial plans for a dormer so we had to completely change our plans and the layout to create our dream bathroom.. this resulted in moving the toilet to the opposite side of the bathroom.. as it was now near the front of the house I wasn’t going to have any soil pipes coming out of the front house 😬 … so the ugly soil pipe had to be hidden inside .. here’s what we did! Head to the blog to read all about it !
