Your boat is looking fabulous ! I like the wood trim around your stove. It really ties in with your decor. Your dinette sofa is really beautiful. What a find! It looks like it was made for the space. Your boat is looking so modern with all your special memorabilia from your travels and your pictures. You have great taste in decorating. LOVED YOUR VLOG !! Am so glad you are feeling better. Glad to have you back.
So enjoyed this vlog knowing you’re looking better. Thank you for sharing your bits and bobs so naturally. You have a lovely home. I’m watching so so many vlogs but none cater for my need of inspiration to be boat proud! I’ve been watching for some time but somehow missed why your cruising being you had a job. Hey hoy . Keep being yourself as your awesome! Xxxx NB Mille Fleur
Hi Kayleigh It is so good to see you looking well again i think your boat looks excellent inside as well as outside. The fire place looks warming so it would be a personal choice to change but i think it is amazing. The sleeping guards look happy in there beds. Take care. 🥂
5k + subscribers, well done Kayleigh. The place is looking very homely now so all that hard work has finally paid off. PS, nice to see that you're on the mend.
Glad you're feeling better Kayliegh, you have made your boat very cosy. I have the trouser suit for my Lhasa and it is brilliant , only got fluffy feet to dry off when it's wet. Have a great week 😀 xx
I like the combinations of the green and wood affect color at the fire place, because I think it looks beautiful. The picture you said you don't like next to ukulele seems it matches the Ukulele...You've made the boat more stylish and beautiful... I want to watch back the videos you showed us, before to jog my memory, how it looked before you decorated it... If it's not that much of a hassle, can you please quick add a clip how it looked before, nest time.. Thanks for sharing!!!
What you have achieved is quite remarkable, you have very good taste and have made the best use of the space available. Hopefully I am buying a Broadbeam in the next couple of months, I know it is going to restrict my cruising, but it is what I have set my heart on. I look forward to seeing how you progress in your upcoming blogs, it will also be fun to see your dog in the new ‘top coat’
You've come so far with the boat already don't sell yourself short x I vote leave the trim on the fireplace as it is. Nice to see your happy smile back, pls could u put on the vlogg how the coats on the dogs were thsnks xx
Hi kayleigh glad your better now your boat is really looking homely and cosy!! My dogs have been wearing those equifless for quite a few years now I have a cocker spaniel who's 15 now and I always put his red fleese on when we come home from a wet walk as it keeps home really warm and it drys him quickly they was on a cool wash really well too😀 stay safe x❤️❤️
Thanks for showing off your hard work. It all looks lovely! I like the brass rail idea. I will mention it to Peter to see if he would like it on NB Bandoneon. Glad you are recovering well. 🙂👍
Your boat looks absolutely beautiful Kayleigh. You have done an amazing job. I’m watching from Australia, however we arrive in the UK in just over four weeks. We are having a Narrowboat built, and will initially be based at Mercia Marina early next year. Would love to meet you one day. Please stay safe and happy cruising Kayleigh..🥰
Your boat looks really lovely Hayley. Clean lines and modern you have done so well with it . I would leave the wood surround as it is just think it would look better. So pleased you are now on the mend and Good Luck with your plans for the winter
I would leave the wood around the multi-fuel stove as it is. But, it's your boat in the end and you should follow your heart on the matter. The boat is looking fresh and nice. I would also make the table legs longer and get rid of the wood box under the table, although it looks fine and it's just a thought. Mark in Colorado.
Hi. I love what you have done with the boat so far. It’s looking great. I personally would keep the skirting wood but the wood going around the tiles can be painted a diffident colour and would look amazing and help make more of a feature of the fireplace. Either way it looks great
I love how you have decorated the boat. I was going to suggest you change the hinges on the box at the end of the dinette by cutting the front panel off and hinge it at the bottom. Nail the top down and now you still have the box but it pulls down like a bread box and you haven't lost the storage. However, that won't work if you put wood on the end of the seating. Just a thought in case you want to preserve that space. The whole place looks so fresh and up dated. You have done a wonderful job. Glad too that your feeling better. Have a Blessed day. BTW did you say whether your going to moor up for the winter or continue cruising.?
It's beautiful. The one chest that won't open looks good there and gives a nice warmth to the room.,what if you saw lid in 2 so the one side opens and the part under settee remains in position Did a great job.
I think your home is looking beautiful, light & well organised. The wood around the fire is nice as it is & won't show dust so much as if it was black. Love the dog fleeces, hope they do too! Keep getting better, look forward to seeing you here next Monday. 😊
Just starting to fit out my own (and first) narrowboat so have been watching your vlogs with interest I think you've made a really nice job of yours. keep up the good work , I have more ideas to pinch :-)
With you table instead of cutting down put 2 draw type runners underneath the table and when you sit down you can pull it towards you for eating and push it partly over the seat when finished eating, that way it won't stick out and you can adjust it to your liking!
You have done an amazing job on the interior refurbishment. I think you should leave the surround by the stove in the timber colour it is currently. Too much black would be a mistake. I too am learning to play Ukulele. I started on TH-cam tutorials and now go to the Calderdale and Huddersfield Ukulele Group (CHUG) every week. It is much better than trying to learn on your own. How accomplished are you? I can now play many songs all the way through. Amazing really, because I never learned to read music and could not play any instrument before buying my Ukulele. Keep on strumming and maybe you could include playing your Uke on a future vlog.
Beautiful transformation already & it's just astounding to hear that the dinette cushions were an FB Marketplace find, repurposed from an RV/caravan, no less - they look high-end & custom-made for the space. You've definitely found your calling, you really do have an impeccable eye for achieving these boat renos. In very short order, this one already looks more like a tasteful & gracious home than a leisure watercraft. Can't wait for the final before & after 'reveal' episode someday, it's gonna be epic!
Well we had a chat and thought that the fire surround looks good as it is. Just our twopennyworth and we look forward to your vlogs everyweek. Steve n Joan East Lothian 😉
Hi Kayleigh. Glad you are feeling better after having Covid. The boat looks very nice inside! I like the idea of those brass bars near the stove for drying, that makes a lot of sense, although I wonder whether it significantly increases any condensation issues and how you deal with that. Very sorry that we may have been responsible for disturbing you at 3:10am, we were moving not through our own choice. As a result, I have quite a story from my first trip on the canals. :-/
Useful to know for the future! I'm still boat hunting. Everything is now fine. Sadly, it did result in a shorter trip than was intended, especially as we spent a day recovering from the ten hour night-time journey after we'd already cruised for about seven hours during the day! I was "crew" so I was operating all the locks, and I can at least say that our night-time locking was entirely uneventful. If one has to do it, then I recommend (a) raising or lowering slowly, (b) realise that you can't see to the stern of the boat while at the paddles, so think about how to detect an emergency and communicating that there is an emergency.
My taste is to leave that wooden surround the wood tone, but my taste may not be entirely objective since my family name is Wood. :D Also, those brass bars for hanging towels are a brilliant idea. And ... thought just occurred that the wood tone surround behind stove and the sorta-similar hued brass bars above stove work to kind of tie the area together.
Goodness, you look so much better.! Excellent….👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Is there some king of policing of the canal regarding‘speeding’ past moored boats? Ps NO to the black around the fire place…
Hi I'd leave the wood as is. I'd not do black, it will show dirt / dust and I'm not sure it would sit well with yr softer colour scheme. Love yr prints. Cheers
That's an impressive alcohol stash ;-) . The saloon area looks really nice and light - leave the green in there. Be also aware that the dust from the stove is going into your lungs. A diesel stove would be healthier.
I don’t think you should paint it black. Yet again your work in the boat I really excellent you should be very proud and you are looking really well and happy again 😀👍
I'm that king of annoying person where if someone says something like "If you are new here my name is Kayleigh." I ask, okay then what is your name when we aren't new. ;) Though I'm not a boater that thing about being able to generate hot water without running the engine sounds grand!
Hello Kayleigh, how are you now has the COVID gone now ,you look ok thank god ,I guess Andrew is your man 👨 friend or do we say boyfriend lol ,your boat is looking lovely inside yes dust gets everywhere especially on anything black I don’t like black as you are aways cleaning it not for me lol ,you said you lived in China did you work out there then ,if so what did you do if you don’t mind me asking,I have forgotten what you do anyway must be my age 🤔 your coffee machine looks lovely I bet them stainless wipes work well I must get some of them I have a lot of stainless in my home ,I love you settee bed as well Kayleigh you have made your boat look so homely with the pictures on the side it looks beautiful,no Kayleigh please don’t paint the Surround of your fireplace black it will show every speck of dust especially when you have the fire 🔥 lit ,,,, till next time take care keep safe, John 👩🦳🤷♀️🥂😘🔥👨

Did a great job.

Aye wee hen all looks really lovely and clean. All the best to you, get yerself a big box o'choklits and send me the bill
xxxxx
Leave the wood as is. The contrast looks much better and more black is more dust.
The boat looks great. How are you feeling? Hope all is well.
It's really becoming your home now! Looks lovely.
Absolutely stunning job on your narrow boat love the dinnet that sofa looks gorgeous Doug
Beautiful transformation already & it's just astounding to hear that the dinette cushions were an FB Marketplace find, repurposed from an RV/caravan, no less - they look high-end & custom-made for the space.
You've definitely found your calling, you really do have an impeccable eye for achieving these boat renos. In very short order, this one already looks more like a tasteful & gracious home than a leisure watercraft.
Can't wait for the final before & after 'reveal' episode someday, it's gonna be epic!
She looks great...she looks so cozy....I love what you've done...hoping you're feeling better...
I like all the progress you are making…..loved seeing the doggies comfier “stowed” under the dinette!!
The boat looks great! You have been working hard,respect and admiration 🌸
Looks fabulous 👌. Really love what you've done
Well we had a chat and thought that the fire surround looks good as it is.
Just our twopennyworth and we look forward to your vlogs everyweek. Steve n Joan East Lothian 😉
Looks really really nice... lovely job... glad you're better now
Hi Kayleigh. Glad you are feeling better after having Covid. The boat looks very nice inside! I like the idea of those brass bars near the stove for drying, that makes a lot of sense, although I wonder whether it significantly increases any condensation issues and how you deal with that.
Very sorry that we may have been responsible for disturbing you at 3:10am, we were moving not through our own choice. As a result, I have quite a story from my first trip on the canals. :-/
Thank you Russell 😊 I only find an increase in condensation when drying towels. Smaller clothes are ok. Awe no! I hope everything is ok!
Useful to know for the future! I'm still boat hunting.
Everything is now fine. Sadly, it did result in a shorter trip than was intended, especially as we spent a day recovering from the ten hour night-time journey after we'd already cruised for about seven hours during the day!
I was "crew" so I was operating all the locks, and I can at least say that our night-time locking was entirely uneventful. If one has to do it, then I recommend (a) raising or lowering slowly, (b) realise that you can't see to the stern of the boat while at the paddles, so think about how to detect an emergency and communicating that there is an emergency.
Again you've done an outstanding job. The dining area turned out extra special and a great idea.
My taste is to leave that wooden surround the wood tone, but my taste may not be entirely objective since my family name is Wood. :D Also, those brass bars for hanging towels are a brilliant idea. And ... thought just occurred that the wood tone surround behind stove and the sorta-similar hued brass bars above stove work to kind of tie the area together.
Your boat interior is looking great, I'd leave the wood natural, maybe a pattern on a few tiles would set off the fire place.
Goodness, you look so much better.! Excellent….👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Is there some king of policing of the canal regarding‘speeding’ past moored boats? Ps NO to the black around the fire place…
Hi I'd leave the wood as is. I'd not do black, it will show dirt / dust and I'm not sure it would sit well with yr softer colour scheme. Love yr prints. Cheers
I'd leave the wood surround as it is myself
I think the wooden surround looks nice. To paint it black would make that a very dark corner.
That's an impressive alcohol stash ;-) . The saloon area looks really nice and light - leave the green in there. Be also aware that the dust from the stove is going into your lungs. A diesel stove would be healthier.
I don’t think you should paint it black. Yet again your work in the boat I really excellent you should be very proud and you are looking really well and happy again 😀👍
Just thinking that the dining table sitting out too far, can you by a Lagun mount for the table then you can move it in and out easily.
Not sure if it's possible to do this, but could you unscrew the table top and just move it an inch rather than cut or buy another piece of wood?
I reckon black might make the corner a bit too dark?
Perhaps you could just cut the lid down on your storage box so you don’t loose the space in side.
please..leave the wood as it is,,,the interior looks great
I'm that king of annoying person where if someone says something like "If you are new here my name is Kayleigh." I ask, okay then what is your name when we aren't new. ;) Though I'm not a boater that thing about being able to generate hot water without running the engine sounds grand!
Use baby oil to shine stainless steel ( old chippy trick ;)
It is looking so nice. I would not make the Wood black. Bye bye.
is your washing machine 12v
No it’s 240 uses the inverter😊
I did go hunting one ..CHEERS!
Hello Kayleigh, how are you now has the COVID gone now ,you look ok thank god ,I guess Andrew is your man 👨 friend or do we say boyfriend lol ,your boat is looking lovely inside yes dust gets everywhere especially on anything black I don’t like black as you are aways cleaning it not for me lol ,you said you lived in China did you work out there then ,if so what did you do if you don’t mind me asking,I have forgotten what you do anyway must be my age 🤔 your coffee machine looks lovely I bet them stainless wipes work well I must get some of them I have a lot of stainless in my home ,I love you settee bed as well Kayleigh you have made your boat look so homely with the pictures on the side it looks beautiful,no Kayleigh please don’t paint the Surround of your fireplace black it will show every speck of dust especially when you have the fire 🔥 lit ,,,, till next time take care keep safe, John 👩🦳🤷♀️🥂😘🔥👨
I have 1000w solar panels and 4x 220ah batteries and can't use a washing machine what witchcraft is this ?
Don't paint the wood black. It will ruin the look.
