WHAT DO YOU THINK!??! Are you as excited for the reno and DIY and home content as I am?! 🤣 We have soooo much to do but I can't wait to share it all with you!! Appreciating allll the love and support you are showing me on this series. I'm trying to upload twice a week for you - Wednesdays and Sundays! Big love 🫶🫶 xxxx
I think if you center the furniture in front of the fireplace instead of pushing everything under the window, the room should flow better. Then if you really want seating under the window, a window bench would be a great idea.
Such a lovely 🏡 I'm with Rob the tv can go in the corner, let the fireplace be the focal point and yes put the dining table at the other end. Be a little adventurous and put use colour in some of the rooms.
I look forward to seeing what you do to the house with your ‘magic touch’! Have you thought about knocking a few walls down and going open plan downstairs? The lounge is quite an awkward shape to furnish and personally I wouldn’t put an office where the current dining room is. You could put the tv on the wall if you created a built in/ panelled area around the fireplace with shelves & ornaments etc around it. Look at Sophie Patterson’s kitchen/ seating area to see what I mean. Whatever you end up doing, it will look amazing! I love your dress btw.
Absolutely beautiful congratulations! I think a space tidy under the stairs would be great for shoes/ extra storage and you still get to have a massive entrance😍🥰
I would put 4 armchairs with a small coffee table in the empty area to serve cocktail before or after dinner or serving tea for a cozy chitchat. Usually designers divide room into two conversation areas.
We have artex plastered ceilings in our home. Best advise is to scrap the artex off as much as you can. It comes off super well if you use a long floor scraper. Saves a lot of cost when getting it plastered. Loving the new house, looking forward to lots of renovation videos. Moving the dining table would be lovely and will open up the space making it more full. The current dining table room makes a perfect space for an office. I’d also centralise the lounge furniture too so that it’s actually surrounding the fireplace rather than pushed to one side. Again this will help with the juxtaposition of the space. Bedrooms are large too allowing you to add an ensuite too off of the main bathroom, which would add value to the property. Personally I hate tv above the fireplace. A large mirror above will make the space more open and still allow the symmetry. The frame tv is ideal as it can be a piece of artwork instead of a black rectangle. X
U are so organised already, i unpack whole house 1st week as we move a lot, put table in living room, mirror above fireplace n tv in corner, if ure like me n like symmetry I'd put those armchairs either side of fireplace xx
Maybe move the dinning table to the living room and use the dining room as a study/library/office type room. Love the idea of painting those doors black. I cant wait to watch!! ❤️❤️
Love the house tour I cant wait for you to start doing your thing Shade as its a blank canvas for you. I personally wouldnt move the dining table because where your living room furniture is at present you are not making use of the lovely fireplace (if you intend on keeping), I would bring your sofas etc out more towards the middle of the room so that you have the feature of the fireplace.
If you're able to take the rocky bit out of the fireplace i've seen some really gorgeous photos of people using pillar candles as an idea? Can't wait to see what you do with the spaces!
Absolutely beautiful house .. Such a great amount of space. I would honestly keep your office upstairs. You can close the door and not have to see it lol That gorgeous dining table would work amazing at the end of the living room. Then ... that spare room downstairs where the table currently is, could be like a Zen Chill out / reading / morning coffee nook .. or a space to just be. I know this might sound airy fairy haaa but it's a huge room with potential. Really gorgeous house and those bannisters are screaming Christmas Garland :) Only just found your channel so I am really looking forward to the Christmas decorations and future projects.. Also ... sorry for the essay lol
If you are going to knock through the wall and make a kitchen diner, then I would place your office either next to your workshop in the garage - if there is enough space and you can block it off - or in the small box room. Then keep the dining room as is and rearrange your living room - so the furniture is pulled away from the bay window (maybe put a chest or window seat there) and then centre the sofas around the fireplace. At the other end of the room - in the area by the patio doors - there could be another seating area eg with the 2 small chairs, plus a table between them. You could replace those chairs with the sofa from the second bedroom to put with the main sofas to make a U shape of sofas around the fireplace.
That little room, separate from the kitchen where you have your washer/dryer, we have that here in the United States. We call that a mud room. It’s a great space to store boots and shoes, especially during the winter months. By the way, I love your house and if you’re gonna put a tv above your fireplace, you should think about investing in a frame tv. When you are not watching it, it acts like a beautiful picture frame and shows epic pictures. Check them out on TH-cam so you can see what I’m talking about.
Looks like a really beautiful home. I would have the lounge as a lounge/dining room and use the current dining room as a snug or office or library/reading room and eventually it would make a great kids room. Personally I hate tv's over a fire place. I removed my fireplace as it was just cosmetic and I have floor to ceiling bookshelves with a built-in media unit for the tv etc.and this works best for me. I don't like fireplaces just stuck on a flat wall without a chimney breast. I'm sure whatever you do it will look amazing, can't wait to see what you come up with. xxx
Thank you for sharing your home with us. I have a fireplace, so nice and cosy on Christmas nights with fire on, Christmas tree lights on, and main lights off. It would look lovely if your fireplace can be fixed.
I think you should put the tv above the fireplace and center the furniture around it so that you have both the symmetry and the tv right in front of you. Can’t wait to see the renovations, congratulations!
Love the house-and it looks ready for you to add your style to it. I would say wait a little while though, live in the house and see how it works and what isn’t working before making any changes. Looking forward to seeing it 😊
You could leave the dining table where it is this might be a situation where the second half of the “living area” can be a smaller nook with a chaise or daybed or even a small tv watching area. But I do love the glass paneled doors and I see a beautiful chandelier in that dining space. Beautiful home, I’m sure you’ll figure something out
Love the idea to knock down the wall in the kitchen to make it an open plan. But how would you then fit the office in the open plan kitchen? 😅 i kept going back to visualise how it would work. Love the space in the landing !!
It would be amazing to see some of the space used from the box room to make a bigger bathroom, and then extend the box room into bedroom 2, as it appears to be a fantastic size.
great house with tons of potential, can't wait to follow your journey to turn it into a jewel. Here are my thoughts on downstairs: don't make it your office space. It would destroy the flow when you break through from the kitchen. Also, you'll find it easier to contain work related issues somewhere where you can close a door. The current living area feels a little cramped to me. I would just move the furniture you got further apart, perhaps try and free up the window and move the sofa away from the wall? or either side of the fire place? And finally, go back upstairs and put that little sticking out piece of coat properly in the wardrobe so you can close the door. I trust you with that. xx
Congratulations on your new home love your channel. This might sound crazy I would knock down the wall between the box room/your office and bathroom and make one massive spa bathroom 😊
YES TV ABOVE THE FIREPLACE THEN PULL YOUR FURNITURE AROUND THE FIREPLACE/TV AREA IT WILL MAKE YOUR LIVING ROOM LOOK A LITTLE MORE USED XX BY THE WAY SHADE YOUR LOOKING GORGEOUS AND ON FIRE 🔥
Wow im addicted to your channel and i only found it today when trying to find a pagola attached to the house and you guys had done exactly like i was thinkin, the rest is history , your idea are cool so I'm going to be tuning in for your tips and inspiration. I think you should have an office downstairs knock your box room in to your bathroom , that way you can create the ultimut sanctuary. Anyway as i only just found your channel you have probably finished it all. xxx keep the vids coming pls xx
The first thing I would do is paint the bannisters, I would paint the handrail dark brown-black and the posts white. The bannisters and stairway are the first things you notice when you come into the house and as they are now, they're very "meh." I would take up the floor coverings and get proper wooden floors put in, preferably dark wood. And the magnolia walls - no. You need to choose a colour-scheme that you love, that flows through the entire house and is cohesive. Lots of love.💖
Shade, I'm so happy for you and Rob, you have a beautiful home with soooo much potential, I've followed your channel from the start and love your DIY makeovers they give me the confidence to have a go too. I love the idea of painting the doors to the dining room black and I would move the dining table into the lounge. If it were my house I'd live in it without doing anything until after Christmas then you can see how the house flows what works for you both and what doesn't. I can't wait for the reno vlogs whatever you do I know will be beautiful. XX
Firstly, CONGRATS! Your house is HUGE! Excited to see what you do with it! I personally like that the kitchen is a separate room. I love a room i can close the door behind me. I think knocking through the wall will just make the dining/kitchen space feel a bit too large and a lot of negative space. Your kitchen looks spacious enough to have a smaller dining table just for casual use, your dining room is surely for more formal dining, like having guests or a nice dinner? I agree with Rob on the TV above the fireplace front. a nice big piece of art above the fireplace will look much better and more thought out. If you did a built in next to the fireplace and had the TV tucked away in a cabinet it would be cool. Check Paige Wassel's latest video touching on this. Alternatively, your sitting room is for you to receive your guests, have a conversation whilst the other end of the room could be your tv area and the fireplace could be your formal area?
Wonderful home tour , I think your French doors will look very classy painted black , love the staircase & how the bannister wraps at the top you have so much room to work with & great ideas looking forward to seeing it all happen .....beautiful home ....thank you very much 🇨🇦
Congrats on you new place! Great potential!!! I would take the box room and combine it with the bathroom to make it bigger and more spacious! Can't wait to see the end results☺
Shade , I know you will make every room unique to your style and I can’t wait to follow your journey in every room. Your new home is lovely and I would love a garage to make my DIY work space just like your going to do . Take care. X😊
Please get the artex tested for asbestos! Our 80s house was fully artex ceilings and we had to get them all ripped down by specialists! Lovely house though can mt wait to see your stamp on it!!
The house is amazing so much room, i would make the dining room your office, but then how would you get your island in the kitchen ? then put the dining table and chairs in the large room, i would put the two lounge chairs further out so they make the fireplace in the lounge area, the house must be special as it has waited 3 years for you to find it, enjoy xx
Amazing space 😍 cannot wait to see what you do with it! Your gas fire might be one that’s had to be disconnected for safety reasons (we have the same, think the plumber said it was an 80’s fireplace and many of them now aren’t safe to operate). It’s beautiful though! Loving all this content! Xx
I love hearing all your GREAT ideas for your NEW HOUSE. I'm going to add my 2 cents lol (American lingo) for the dining room table. Yes move the table in the living room area making it a combo, and then have your office where the table is now. Also, you could install a frame TV over the mantel or DIY a frame around your current TV. Thanks for the tour can't wait to see all your great DIY ideas.
I would definitely put the table (beautiful) in the lounge I would also pull the sofa more towards the door and make it more in front of the fire, definitely put the TV over the fire especially if your not using it as a fire
Lovely home I think I might be with rob on where the tv should go , then you can dress your mantle up with beautiful things and they won’t get in the way of your viewing and a lovely mirror there would be lovely , exciting times for you to put your stamp on it.
Thank you for sharing your new home with us. It’s a lovely big house and has so much potential so I can’t wait to see what you do to it. Both of you are so lucky and all your hard work has paid off. I would do a makeover on the fireplace and put the TV above to stop any glares from the wall lights.
Congrats on the new home. Yes, move the dining room. But nooooo, don’t make the TV a focal point unless it’s a picture TV. Also ergonomically it may cause neck pain up so high.
Your home is so big and beautiful. So pleased you like your new home. Its a beautiful place for you both and hope you enjoy it very much. I can't wait to see how you decorate your new home!!! Xx
I've heard people get neck ache when watching a tv that's on the wall. A local TV aerial man told me that people were moving them back down onto tv units and then they don't become the focal point of the room.
Hello, I've just started watching your videos. Congratulations on your new home . . I think the idea of moving your table in with the living room is a good one. Plus, your office downstairs sounds good too! Please don't paint the connecting doors black. They are beautiful just the way they are. I think if I were I a new home, I'd live in it awhile, then decide on making changes. But of luck to you.🙂
The tv should definitely go above the fireplace. The dining room should be your office for sure. Also I would be tempted to knock the wall down that separates the upstairs bathroom and your present office to make a large bathroom! Love the house ! I’m so happy for you! Can’t wait to see what u do! 👍❤️😊
You said you had a plumber look at the shower in the en suite. If it is an electric shower there may be an issue with fuse. If the previous owners upgraded the shower they may not have upgraded the power supply (we had a similar issue)- Just a thought. Have an electrician test it.
SHADE I am obsessed with the fact you're now so active on YT. I officially named your previous bougie bog on a budget and I love your style and content. So happy to watch your house grow into your home 💙
Congratulations 🎊 on your new home journey for both of you. I LOVE THE HOUSE 🏡. Would like to see the garden please.. I love watching all you're video uploads and been following your ups and downs in purchasing your home, I had the same experience and trust me I don't think I ever consider moving as its hell and they don't tell you this when you house hunting. I would plaster board the ceiling and plaster it over and it will give a better seamless look. I would definitely move the dining table to that room as it look s empty, as when you knock the kichen wall and make it open plan it will give the wow factor trust me I done the same. I would do the main rooms first like the lounge and the bedroom first and then last the bathroom.. Can't wait for you to do the hallway as I need some tips. Best of luck 🤞
Congrats on your new home it’s beautiful 🎉🎉. Staying tuned for the amazing DIYs to come. Your dress is also gorgeous do you mind sharing where you got it
Lovely home Shade& Rob 👏🏽👏🏽we got the same type of ceiling 😅I kind a like it, you have such a good taste you’ll do a wonderful job and be proud of it. You must be so glad to be close to your family and friends! See you on your next vlog 🙋🏽♀️😀

Totally agree! Much more space to play with!
Girl you are a genius!
Such a lovely 🏡 I'm with Rob the tv can go in the corner, let the fireplace be the focal point and yes put the dining table at the other end.
Be a little adventurous and put use colour in some of the rooms.
yes, I think you should put the table in the room with your sofa and make the other room your office
I agree! I think it'll feel a much better use of the space!
I would knock the wall down between the kitchen and room make it open plan 😍

Yes, dining table into the main living room and then cosy office where you have your dining room now.
perfect!! thanks hun! xx
@@ShadeShannon can't wait to see how will you transform the new house..I am wondering if you will copy any ideas from the old house 👀
Maybe move the dinning table to the living room and use the dining room as a study/library/office type room. Love the idea of painting those doors black. I cant wait to watch!! ❤️❤️
definitely move the dining table in there, it would go perfect with your livingroom furniture. LOVE your new place! ❤
I think the tv would look good over the fireplace.🙂
I agree - we need to convince Rob now 🤣
Congratulations 🎉
Thank you!! 🫶
Your house looks beautiful 😍 I’m so excited to see the journey. But also, the TV has to go on top of the fireplace. Come on Rob 🤣
I really hope you keep the wood banister. It brings so much natural warmth to the entryway. You're so lucky to have that.
It’s beautiful. Will have lots of fun designing the space!
Love the house tour I cant wait for you to start doing your thing Shade as its a blank canvas for you. I personally wouldnt move the dining table because where your living room furniture is at present you are not making use of the lovely fireplace (if you intend on keeping), I would bring your sofas etc out more towards the middle of the room so that you have the feature of the fireplace.
Fab idea! I will try that out. Thank you for sharing ❤️
Yes 100% office downstairs 👌🏻
If you're able to take the rocky bit out of the fireplace i've seen some really gorgeous photos of people using pillar candles as an idea? Can't wait to see what you do with the spaces!
Absolutely beautiful house .. Such a great amount of space. I would honestly keep your office upstairs. You can close the door and not have to see it lol That gorgeous dining table would work amazing at the end of the living room. Then ... that spare room downstairs where the table currently is, could be like a Zen Chill out / reading / morning coffee nook .. or a space to just be. I know this might sound airy fairy haaa but it's a huge room with potential. Really gorgeous house and those bannisters are screaming Christmas Garland :) Only just found your channel so I am really looking forward to the Christmas decorations and future projects.. Also ... sorry for the essay lol
I love the essays!! 🤣 I totally get your point, there's so much potential for that room to be another chill out zone ... you've got me thinking now!
If you are going to knock through the wall and make a kitchen diner, then I would place your office either next to your workshop in the garage - if there is enough space and you can block it off - or in the small box room.

You should center the living room furniture in front of the fireplace.
Will try that out!
I'm all for symmetry too! One of those picture TVs would look nice above the fireplace. The room is so massive a TV in the corner might look weird
That little room, separate from the kitchen where you have your washer/dryer, we have that here in the United States. We call that a mud room. It’s a great space to store boots and shoes, especially during the winter months.
By the way, I love your house and if you’re gonna put a tv above your fireplace, you should think about investing in a frame tv. When you are not watching it, it acts like a beautiful picture frame and shows epic pictures. Check them out on TH-cam so you can see what I’m talking about.

Yes I would put the tv over the fire place and put the dining table and chairs in the lounge
Agreed!!
Thank you for sharing your home with us. I have a fireplace, so nice and cosy on Christmas nights with fire on, Christmas tree lights on, and main lights off. It would look lovely if your fireplace can be fixed.
OMG ... I can not wait to watch along. 🥂💐👏🏽
Can't wait!! xxx
I think you should put the tv above the fireplace and center the furniture around it so that you have both the symmetry and the tv right in front of you. Can’t wait to see the renovations, congratulations!

I cant wait to see your "touch" through out the house!
You could leave the dining table where it is this might be a situation where the second half of the “living area” can be a smaller nook with a chaise or daybed or even a small tv watching area. But I do love the glass paneled doors and I see a beautiful chandelier in that dining space. Beautiful home, I’m sure you’ll figure something out
lovely ideas!!
TV above the fireplace x

Center your furniture with the fireplace and a big yes for the tv above the fireplace✅
It would be amazing to see some of the space used from the box room to make a bigger bathroom, and then extend the box room into bedroom 2, as it appears to be a fantastic size.
Omg so exciting!!!!!! I can't wait to see what you do with it.
Me too!! Can't wait to see the difference in a year!
Congratulations I'm so happy this is so inspiring You are so blessed and doing amazing congratulations to you and your husband
Omg that’s my ideal house, I’m so jealous, congratulations can’t wait to see what you’ll do with it 🎉
Thank you so much!! I can't wait to start on it xx
Shade this house is amazing! congratulations and I'm so excited to see what you will do.
Thank you so much!! xxxxx
Loving the size of this house. Im also a decorator and I feel that the Tv should be over the fireplace.
Love it can’t wait for the fantastic renovation content.
Love the new house. Cant wait to see what you are going to do with it. Im hoping to steal some of your ideas. The layout is perfect. How's the garden?
Congratulations Shade and Rob, you have a beautiful house, may God bless you both with many many happy years. Enjoy! ❤

Beautiful house !!
Thank you!
Wow im addicted to your channel and i only found it today when trying to find a pagola attached to the house and you guys had done exactly like i was thinkin, the rest is history , your idea are cool so I'm going to be tuning in for your tips and inspiration.
I think you should have an office downstairs knock your box room in to your bathroom , that way you can create the ultimut sanctuary. Anyway as i only just found your channel you have probably finished it all. xxx keep the vids coming pls xx
Aw these are amazing ideas. Thanks so much for following along!! 💗💗💗
The first thing I would do is paint the bannisters, I would paint the handrail dark brown-black and the posts white. The bannisters and stairway are the first things you notice when you come into the house and as they are now, they're very "meh."

Nice! Detached is definitely the way forward!!
❤️❤️
@@ShadeShannon Genuinely happy for you both. Watching your wall moulding/panelling videos inspired me to do the same at my pad. Thanks 🙌
It's huge! How lucky you are and so looking forward to renovations and filling the house with children 😉

Firstly, CONGRATS! Your house is HUGE! Excited to see what you do with it!
I personally like that the kitchen is a separate room. I love a room i can close the door behind me. I think knocking through the wall will just make the dining/kitchen space feel a bit too large and a lot of negative space. Your kitchen looks spacious enough to have a smaller dining table just for casual use, your dining room is surely for more formal dining, like having guests or a nice dinner?

Alternatively, your sitting room is for you to receive your guests, have a conversation whilst the other end of the room could be your tv area and the fireplace could be your formal area?
Wonderful home tour , I think your French doors will look very classy painted black , love the staircase & how the bannister wraps at the top you have so much room to work with & great ideas looking forward to seeing it all happen .....beautiful home ....thank you very much 🇨🇦
Thank you so much!! I can’t wait to start the makeovers 🥰🥳

Shade , I know you will make every room unique to your style and I can’t wait to follow your journey in every room. Your new home is lovely and I would love a garage to make my DIY work space just like your going to do . Take care. X😊
Please get the artex tested for asbestos! Our 80s house was fully artex ceilings and we had to get them all ripped down by specialists! Lovely house though can mt wait to see your stamp on it!!
The house is amazing so much room, i would make the dining room your office, but then how would you get your island in the kitchen ? then put the dining table and chairs in the large room, i would put the two lounge chairs further out so they make the fireplace in the lounge area, the house must be special as it has waited 3 years for you to find it, enjoy xx
I think maybe temporarily make the current dining room an office and then when we renovate I will have to look for a new office space 🤣
Amazing space 😍 cannot wait to see what you do with it! Your gas fire might be one that’s had to be disconnected for safety reasons (we have the same, think the plumber said it was an 80’s fireplace and many of them now aren’t safe to operate). It’s beautiful though! Loving all this content! Xx

Yes l agree that it would be nice if you switch the rooms.
Its a beautiful house Shade , i cannot wait to see you transform it into your home .....go work your magic xxxx
Thank you! 🥹🫶🏽❤️
Excited for the house content. The kitchen is gorgeous despite no drawers
Yay! Thank you hun! I really gotta figure those drawers out soon 🤣
I love hearing all your GREAT ideas for your NEW HOUSE. I'm going to add my 2 cents lol (American lingo) for the dining room table. Yes move the table in the living room area making it a combo, and then have your office where the table is now. Also, you could install a frame TV over the mantel or DIY a frame around your current TV. Thanks for the tour can't wait to see all your great DIY ideas.
Fab idea!! I love the thought of a frame around the TV! Xx
Ohhhh Shade I love it!!!! I am super excited to watch you work your magic in here!! Ps I think your idea of the tv on the wall should win 😉💜
Thank you!! I literally can’t wait for this 🥰
Love it x
I would definitely put the table (beautiful) in the lounge I would also pull the sofa more towards the door and make it more in front of the fire, definitely put the TV over the fire especially if your not using it as a fire
Love your house I cant wait for you to start your renovations.x
Lovely home
I think I might be with rob on where the tv should go , then you can dress your mantle up with beautiful things and they won’t get in the way of your viewing and a lovely mirror there would be lovely , exciting times for you to put your stamp on it.
This is very true!

Thank you for sharing your new home with us. It’s a lovely big house and has so much potential so I can’t wait to see what you do to it. Both of you are so lucky and all your hard work has paid off. I would do a makeover on the fireplace and put the TV above to stop any glares from the wall lights.
Thank you! Can’t wait for a little fireplace makeover 🥰
Hi really enjoyed this 😊 who did you use to clean your carpets?
Congrats on the new home. Yes, move the dining room. But nooooo, don’t make the TV a focal point unless it’s a picture TV. Also ergonomically it may cause neck pain up so high.
great advice! Thank you so much 😄
Your home is so big and beautiful. So pleased you like your new home. Its a beautiful place for you both and hope you enjoy it very much. I can't wait to see how you decorate your new home!!! Xx
Nice House
I've heard people get neck ache when watching a tv that's on the wall. A local TV aerial man told me that people were moving them back down onto tv units and then they don't become the focal point of the room.
Hello, I've just started watching your videos. Congratulations on your new home .
. I think the idea of moving your table in with the living room is a good one. Plus, your office downstairs sounds good too! Please don't paint the connecting doors black. They are beautiful just the way they are. I think if I were I a new home, I'd live in it awhile, then decide on making changes. But of luck to you.🙂
Definitely consider moving the dining table for a more cohesive look
The tv should definitely go above the fireplace. The dining room should be your office for sure. Also I would be tempted to knock the wall down that separates the upstairs bathroom and your present office to make a large bathroom! Love the house ! I’m so happy for you! Can’t wait to see what u do! 👍❤️😊
Great idea!! I'd loveeee to make a larger bathroom - dreamy!!
You said you had a plumber look at the shower in the en suite. If it is an electric shower there may be an issue with fuse. If the previous owners upgraded the shower they may not have upgraded the power supply (we had a similar issue)- Just a thought. Have an electrician test it.
Paint the banister black/dark oak if you don't mind would look good with them white walls
Think that would be beaut
Congratulations, beautiful house with great potential 🎉🎉🥰
Thank you!! ❤️🫶🏽
SHADE I am obsessed with the fact you're now so active on YT. I officially named your previous bougie bog on a budget and I love your style and content. So happy to watch your house grow into your home 💙
Ahh this is amazing!! Thanks so much - can’t wait to share more 🫶🏽
Beautiful house, yes I would put your table in the room with your sofa, it's a beautiful table set xx
Lovely isn’t it 🥰 Thanks hun!
Congratulations on your new home!! 🏡 I can’t wait to see all the upgrades you do with your signature style!!
Congratulations 🎊 on your new home journey for both of you. I LOVE THE HOUSE 🏡. Would like to see the garden please..
I love watching all you're video uploads and been following your ups and downs in purchasing your home, I had the same experience and trust me I don't think I ever consider moving as its hell and they don't tell you this when you house hunting.
I would plaster board the ceiling and plaster it over and it will give a better seamless look. I would definitely move the dining table to that room as it look s empty, as when you knock the kichen wall and make it open plan it will give the wow factor trust me I done the same.
I would do the main rooms first like the lounge and the bedroom first and then last the bathroom..
Can't wait for you to do the hallway as I need some tips.
Best of luck 🤞
Amazing advice!! Appreciate it so much - can't wait to start on some reno bits 😄xxx
