It looks fabulous. What a difference from the old conservatory. I love your style too. Well done on all your home improvements, you’re ploughing on superbly with the amount you’ve done since moving in...can’t be easy with young children and your job too.
Thank you it really is such a change and a difference. And thank you I am loving renovating, we have run out of money for the big projects so it's back to saving, but I have our bedroom and our outside office to get cracking on. It helps that I really love doing it, it's one of my biggest passions. x
Yay so excited you filmed this it looks amazing x Renovations are fun aren’t they, stressful at times, but fun x x I’d love to do our garden this year now most of the house is done x
Thanks lovely I thought it would be a nice one to film. And yes such fun renovating. Your house looks so lovely, I bet you are over the moon with it. x
Thanks lovely, yes I can't believe its already done now. Sadly having to save for the rest of the big projects ;) But got a few small ones I am doing which is exciting. x
It looks lovely Katie. Changing your home to what you want it to look like is so exciting isn’t it?! I can’t wait to get our kitchen and garden done and our home potentially extended too. X
*Hello Katie! So glad to see this kind of video! What a great project! It remember me our renovation, such good memories! This conservatory is beautiful, I love the natural light and the garden's view!*
Loving this what a transformation it looks so classy and stylish and sooo tasteful I’m Loving it your so fab at interior design katie such a lovely family room xx
Katie Ellison I love that you all spend time in there together as a family we’re very much the same although Leo is getting older and likes to go up to have his own time away from His sister and to play on Fifa lol 😂 but we’re big on family time and your conservatory is perfect xx
Love the conservatory now looks so good love the colours and it is so nice that is part of the house we have had a conservatory now for 3 years we didn’t have one before we live in a small flat and we had no dining room before so now we do I agree about the hot cold we have a radiator in there but it was getting too hot in summer so we got blinds last year and it is so much better
What Big difference you have made it look stunning. The old conservatory was white plastic old fashioned cheap and naff, when it rains on that perspect roofing it must have been so noisy before you put on a proper roof and changed the shape of it. I wouldn’t call it a conservatory now it is a sun lounge. A conservatory has the rubbish roof. A sun lounge with a proper roof adds much life value to a home and it also sounds posher as well. I just love before and after house renovations. This video is just so up my street. It’s like my passion. My husband is a builder and is currently doing up houses just now. The house he is doing up had no central heating and really hadn’t been touched since like 1940 it’s like stepping back in time. Kitchen ripped out bathrooms ripped out rewire insulate central heating the works. walls have been taken down to make a kitchen dinner. I say what kitchen to put in and bathroom and colours and carpets/tiles and wooden floors. Can you recommend any other Utube channel that does renovations?
What a transformation,I just love it. So more modern with more light coming in. Mind you I'm loving your style in all the rooms. Nice to see you in the posh lounge 😂 xx
What an amazing transformation Katie! It looks brilliant. I loved the old extension you did in your last house & this is even better. I would love a room like this one day & am desperate for bifold doors too love them 😊 have really enjoyed watching you transform your Home. Congratulations xx
Thanks Inga we are so pleased with how it turned out, when we were planning it we couldn't imagine whether it would be better than our old house because we loved that one but somehow it is. We love it so much. x
Thanks Suzanne yes so grateful for our home, we have worked very hard for it and had some tough times financially over the years so as cheesy as it sounds I am grateful every time I turn the key in the door. I never expected to have a house like this. x
Lovely. But I have to admit, I kind of prefer it before..purely because I would use it as a plant room and quite liked the hexagonal shape of it. (Although you did say the temperature in there was unbearable, so it makes sense to change it) You've done a brilliant job. Great family room.
Loved the video. Really great to see the transformation step by step. We also bought a forever home/renovation project and a similar modern extension is on our wish list. Tackling the replacement of original 1930's sash widows first though. Keep the interiors and home videos coming you definitely have a knack of it.
Hi Katie, may I say your conservatory looks excellent. We are thinking about building extension but it’s quite pricey and estate agent suggested with excising value of our house building extension would be exceeding value of the house but he suggested building instead a conservatory as it would only add the price of building it to the price of the house rather then a loss. You done a great job and hope you will enjoy it for many years to come.
Looks fabulous. Hubby put Karndean down on the ground floor of our house too, it's gorgeous stuff, we love it, I am tempted to do the upstairs with it as well. You've created a beautiful space.
Absolutely love it, Katie. It’s so deceiving seeing an extension midway and imagining it finished. It looks so much bigger when finished, with the open plan, white walls and lots of natural light flooding in. You make me want to do our home up so much, because I love your style. I have so many Pinterest boards, haha. What colour is your Karndean flooring? We can’t make any structural changes to our house, as it’s rented, but we can decorate and change flooring. Love to see more videos like this, Katie xx
Lisa Dixon thanks lovely I'm so pleased with how it turned out, it let's in so much light and feels so airy. And Pinterest is dangerous for interiors ;) Our Karndean is country oak, we are really pleased with it x
We are also renovating but we ha e a victorian terraced house. Just done the loft conversion which was a huge project but do worth it. A lot of our friends couldn't see past the dilapidated house but as time has gone on and they see the transformation they now understand why we bought it!
No question , a wonderful space....so much so that we are hoping for one identical....what I'm puzzled by is that to be a conservatory it must be at least 70% glass and if not then it is an extension which comes with building regs and this one also has no partition doors which means it must have somehow met building regs...so it either it was built w/o being signed off or I'm missing something. We'll be going through this process shortly ....also looking at the brickwork for the question that has yet to be answered it looks to be 3.5x3.5...I bet this is the latest comment ever!
Have been watching your channel for the last 3mths and I really enjoy your videos. The editing is lush and your day in the life content is always great, also love the hauls. They've given me inspiration many a time lol. Can't get over how gorgeous your conservatory/room transformation is.. especially love the velux windows! X
Loved this video!! Only recently found your TH-cam so I have so many videos to watch of yours :D just watched this one whilst doing the washing up! :D beautiful home!
Loved this video. Your conservatory/extension is amazing. I love the bifold doors 😍 you have such a great sense of style too. Can’t wait to see the living/dining room tour. Really enjoy your home/interior videos 😊
Thanks Elaine we are so pleased with it. And he's doing well. ;) I bought a little 85p mister from Wilkos and I have been spraying their leaves regularly. ;) x
Not to be a wise arse, but it was a conservatory before and since you removed the home doors it now becomes an extension that needs to be adhering to building regulations, lack of planning permission might be a possible issue when you come to sell. I was told by the planning office, i don't need permission as long as it keeps the existing French doors in place, once you remove them it becomes an extension which would require planning permission. They might be wrong, just giving you the heads up in case they're right.
Hi! We put a similar extension on our last home and were told to keep the existing doors (random but to keep them for the reasons you said above) and that it was absolutely fine and didn't require planning, but that we could be subject to extra issues when it came to selling and it might make the sale take longer. There was none whatsoever, it didn't even get flagged up and wasn't mentioned from our buyers surveyors. Our house sale went through incredibly quickly. Therefore we have done the same with this one. We kept the existing doors in the garage, but I don't imagine that we will have any problems if we ever come to sell. Not that we are planning to anyway :)
@@katie_ellison Yeah, it's not the end of the world if it was to flag up... Probably only would if the surveyor was picky. Or clueless about building regs haha but in any scenario... Life is short, living in the now is better than worrying about something that might never happen ey. :) All the best to you Katie
Some confusion going on here. Planning permission states what can be built; i.e. the design, while building regulations informs how it is to be built; i.e. the specification. Without knowing size detail and property type can't comment on need for planning permission, but as 'Craig' has stated, having no fixed separation from the house then this structure DEFINITELY requires building regulations approval.
That is gorgeous extension . I want my house doing and they have quoted me 30k for new conservation because I had water pipe at the back and it need to be move before doing any work. 😅
Really enjoyed the video :) We are looking to build something similar in the next year or so and I have taken a tone of ideas from your reno. I am not sure if you feel comfortable sharing but struggling to find pricing and budgeting, would be really helpful if you could share a price bracket. Thank you
Your conservatory/extension is absolutely gorgeous!!! We are planing a similar project in the next few weeks. Did you use a builder or a conservatory company? We also have an old fashioned conservatory that needs to completely go so that we can start afresh. xx
Hi Katie. Thanks so much for Sharing. I’ve trolled through so many videos to try and explain what I wanted my dilapidated conservatory to look like and yours is the first in a long time of searching that is exactly it. Can you possibly give me and idea of what you asked the builders for as I cannot explain it and what sort of price range am I looking at. Thank you so much . Justine.
Love love love this! Can’t wait to see the rest of the house renovation. Can I ask where your mirror is from in the front lounge? Thanks Katie, love your vlogs so much xx
So beautiful it’s amazing, really love your style. It’s like like something you see in them style magazine. I have the same marble broad thing from aldi it looks for then £10 doesn’t it lol xxx
Thank you so much for doing this Katie!! I didn’t realise the room had started as a conservatory (it was nearly done when I found you!). We have a conservatory and have exactly the same problem in that it’s too cold in the winter and too hot in the summer. We even put underfloor heating in and changed the roof to glass but it still doesn’t work 😞 I was looking to knock it down and build and proper extension (it’s out of budget tho) but am wondering if this would be a more cost effective option. I assume you didn’t have to dig deeper foundations? And therefore saved cost? Do u mind me asking how much it cost you? No problem if you would rather not say 😃. Thanks - it really looks beautiful!!
Hi thanks for your lovely comment. Yes we didn't have to dig down further so we used our existing foundations, we also had some of the old remaining brick work too. I think it hugely depends on who you use and of course what area you are in so I wouldn't want to quote something that's completely different for you. We also found using a conservatory company way way cheaper than using a builder who classed it as an extension x
Can I ask how this is still classed as a conservatory as there is so little glass in the roof? Also, did you have to put in new corner foundations to square off the room? Thanks
I am very sorry being curious, but what should be budget on just the conservatory without interior? Roof, wall, frame, glass doors. Thank you for reply. You did amazing job, your house looks sooo stylish and kinda luxurious, if you know what I mean, but at the same time very very cosy and kids friendly. Looking forward to your new kitcheeeen 😍😍😍
We want to do this to our conservatory but have no money and no idea of the cost. If we had an idea of cost we could start saving but is getting someone out to quote you on something that you know you can’t afford right now weird? Would it be better to save something first? But then I have no idea what to save! I’m only 20 we bought our first house in June. X
So exciting about buying your home, congratulations. And not at all, we've had a quote on things we can't afford before, like a garage conversion and a stair case. There's no way we can afford them now but it's good to know for the future so we can start saving x
It looks so gorgeous! Just wondering about whether you thought about security and worried about people looking in at night? Hubs pointed out that would be a big concern to him so wondered what your thought process was there! Loving the light and decor though. It's lush. X
Looks like a big improvement over the old conservatory. Thinking of having a single story extension/conservatory off of my own kitchen which also has existing patio doors. What type of roof did you have (sorry if you already said and I missed it)? Was it a lightweight Guardian or Superlite roof or just a solid roof? Are you able to use the conservatory in the Winter at night when it's very cold out or does it get too cold? Do you feel that it makes the kitchen colder at night due to heat loss from the conservatory or not? Thanks
Do you feel over looked? Do you have any plans with the garden to help that a bit? Would be interesting to see as we have neighbours overlooking our garden and despite no problems id love to make it a bit more private and get some ideas
Emma we are hopefully going to get our garden landscaped this year and I want to get trees planted to help block out the neighbours a little bit. But in all honesty it hugely doesn't bother me, our neighbours never ever seem to be in the back of their house cause I think their kitchen and living room and bedroom must be at the front x
Hi Katie , love the conservatory, could you tell me where I can obtain the same type / model as you ? I’m really impressed & would love the same one, thanks
Wow, what a transformation, it looks amazing. What colour paint have you used in the room where you filmed the first and last parts of this video please, I love it! x
Building Regulations are a set of standards that govern the construction industry in relation to the health and safety of a building and its users. They define how a structure must be built in terms of its thermal efficiency and environmental impact. If you want to add a conservatory to your home, you may require Building Regulations. A conservatory IS EXEMPT from building regulations when.. The floor area of that extension does not exceed 30m2, provided that in the case of a conservatory or porch which is wholly or partly glazed. It has an independent heating system - not attached to central heating. Built only at ground level. A thermal barrier to separate dwelling and conservatory (for example a window/door). Building Regulations for open-plan conservatories The Building Regulations for an open-plan conservatory are different. Removing any exterior doors or walls between your house and conservatory WILL require building regulations approval. To gain this, you must prove that any new structural opening does not result in your conservatory (or the rest of the house) being less energy efficient. In circumstances where an application is necessary, you will be required to submit full structural, working drawings and heat-loss calculations to building control.
This room is so much better and more useable than a conservatory. How much roughly does a room like this cost? I understand if you don’t want to say. Thanks for sharing the room. X
Heavenly ... we would love to do an extension project like this. Can I just ask how you maintain and clean the Karndean flooring. Do you have to use specialist cleaning materials and how does it wear? Is it also suitable for kitchens and bathrooms? So enjoying following your home improvements, keep it coming!!! x
Helen Reid thank you. And the Karndean is brilliant really low maintenance. We had it in our last house and we didn't have to do a thing to it, this one is a bit lighter and shows more smudges so we have to clean it more often but we just use regular cleaning stuff, it does have its own cleaning stuff too though. My mum has Karndean in her kitchen and once a year or so a guy comes in and refreshes it, it costs less than £100 and makes it look like new. We didn't bother with that in our last house and it still looked amazing but I think we will with this one. And yes you can use it in kitchens and bathrooms x

Alex Gladwin it's so exciting isn't it? You've done such a lovely job with yours, your loft conversion is amazing x
I love it all Katie. Really useful stuff as we're discussing taking our conservatory off and making it into a more open plan extension!
Thanks Mary x
You've done so much to your beautiful home in just 8 short months...I am loving following your decorating journey! Xx
Thank you I'm really enjoying doing it up x

Katie Ellison yes it is I live in a shared community so we have two other people who eat with us sometimes more so it is good
It looks amazing! We have a plastic conservtory and hate it (Minus for the view of the garden), like you said it is either too hot or too cold.x
Thanks Sarah we are really pleased with it. And yes it is lovely having a view of the garden from conservatories isn't it? x

Just Maria D it's great isn't it? It's not echoey or too plastic looking is it? I love it so much and so easy to maintain x
Yes, I was worried about the sound, but it hasn't been noisy at all. It's a fab product. x
It's beautiful.
Thanks Sarah we are so pleased with it. x
It's perfect! So chic! 💕 Would love to see more interior and organization videos and would be interested to know where you find design inspiration!

It was built as a conservatory by a conservatory company and didn’t need building regs. It was built on the foundations of an existing conservatory :)

Thank you 💕
It looks beautiful!

Really enjoyed the video :) We are looking to build something similar in the next year or so and I have taken a tone of ideas from your reno. I am not sure if you feel comfortable sharing but struggling to find pricing and budgeting, would be really helpful if you could share a price bracket. Thank you
Your conservatory/extension is absolutely gorgeous!!! We are planing a similar project in the next few weeks. Did you use a builder or a conservatory company? We also have an old fashioned conservatory that needs to completely go so that we can start afresh. xx
Ah so exciting for you. Yes we just used a conservatory company which was a lot more reasonable than using a builder. And quicker too. x
@@katie_ellison How much was the total cost to build your conservatory?
Thanks for showing, gave some inspiration
Hi Katie.
Thanks so much for Sharing.
I’ve trolled through so many videos to try and explain what I wanted my dilapidated conservatory to look like and yours is the first in a long time of searching that is exactly it.
Can you possibly give me and idea of what you asked the builders for as I cannot explain it and what sort of price range am I looking at.
Thank you so much . Justine.
Love your conservatory its beautiful x
Thank you x
Love love love this! Can’t wait to see the rest of the house renovation. Can I ask where your mirror is from in the front lounge? Thanks Katie, love your vlogs so much xx
Thanks so much April and I got the mirror in the west elm sale x
So beautiful it’s amazing, really love your style. It’s like like something you see in them style magazine. I have the same marble broad thing from aldi it looks for then £10 doesn’t it lol xxx
I know it's amazing! Still can't believe it's £10 x
Looks awesome :)
Thanks lovely x
Great job☺️Love it!
Thank you 💕
I loved this!
Thanks Jenni. x
Thank you so much for doing this Katie!! I didn’t realise the room had started as a conservatory (it was nearly done when I found you!). We have a conservatory and have exactly the same problem in that it’s too cold in the winter and too hot in the summer. We even put underfloor heating in and changed the roof to glass but it still doesn’t work 😞
I was looking to knock it down and build and proper extension (it’s out of budget tho) but am wondering if this would be a more cost effective option. I assume you didn’t have to dig deeper foundations? And therefore saved cost? Do u mind me asking how much it cost you? No problem if you would rather not say 😃. Thanks - it really looks beautiful!!
Hi thanks for your lovely comment. Yes we didn't have to dig down further so we used our existing foundations, we also had some of the old remaining brick work too. I think it hugely depends on who you use and of course what area you are in so I wouldn't want to quote something that's completely different for you. We also found using a conservatory company way way cheaper than using a builder who classed it as an extension x
Looks great! Would have been great to know how much it cost.
It would be great to get the answer please Katie. We are thinking about doing the same.
Absolutely stunning x
Hi Kate, great channel. Who did you use to build this extension? We a very similar setup and want something like this. Thanks!
Great conversion. Is it cold in the winter?
Beautiful 😍😍😍
Samantha Moseley thank you x
Can I ask how this is still classed as a conservatory as there is so little glass in the roof? Also, did you have to put in new corner foundations to square off the room? Thanks
I am very sorry being curious, but what should be budget on just the conservatory without interior? Roof, wall, frame, glass doors. Thank you for reply. You did amazing job, your house looks sooo stylish and kinda luxurious, if you know what I mean, but at the same time very very cosy and kids friendly. Looking forward to your new kitcheeeen 😍😍😍
We want to do this to our conservatory but have no money and no idea of the cost. If we had an idea of cost we could start saving but is getting someone out to quote you on something that you know you can’t afford right now weird? Would it be better to save something first? But then I have no idea what to save! I’m only 20 we bought our first house in June. X
Mollie May I'm in same position as you, would love to get an idea on costs!
So exciting about buying your home, congratulations. And not at all, we've had a quote on things we can't afford before, like a garage conversion and a stair case. There's no way we can afford them now but it's good to know for the future so we can start saving x
It looks so gorgeous! Just wondering about whether you thought about security and worried about people looking in at night? Hubs pointed out that would be a big concern to him so wondered what your thought process was there! Loving the light and decor though. It's lush. X
Looks like a big improvement over the old conservatory. Thinking of having a single story extension/conservatory off of my own kitchen which also has existing patio doors. What type of roof did you have (sorry if you already said and I missed it)? Was it a lightweight Guardian or Superlite roof or just a solid roof? Are you able to use the conservatory in the Winter at night when it's very cold out or does it get too cold? Do you feel that it makes the kitchen colder at night due to heat loss from the conservatory or not? Thanks
I think I am the only one that likes to watch this type of videos but I don't even have a house 😅😅😅
Would safey of break in be a worry.?.I.always wonder why people put so many windows in. Look great though
Its lovely xx
Blogging Mummy thank you we are so pleased with it x
Love your interiors videos Katie - you have amazing taste and this was beautifully shot!
SparklyPurpleNails thank you so much I spent a lot of time on the edit of this one x
Do you feel over looked? Do you have any plans with the garden to help that a bit? Would be interesting to see as we have neighbours overlooking our garden and despite no problems id love to make it a bit more private and get some ideas
Emma we are hopefully going to get our garden landscaped this year and I want to get trees planted to help block out the neighbours a little bit. But in all honesty it hugely doesn't bother me, our neighbours never ever seem to be in the back of their house cause I think their kitchen and living room and bedroom must be at the front x
Hi Katie , love the conservatory, could you tell me where I can obtain the same type / model as you ? I’m really impressed & would love the same one, thanks
Me too?
It looks lovely - what was the cost? thanks
Wow, what a transformation, it looks amazing. What colour paint have you used in the room where you filmed the first and last parts of this video please, I love it! x
Emily Warner thanks emily. And the navy paint behind me is Farrow and Ball Hague Blue x
Building Regulations are a set of standards that govern the construction industry in relation to the health and safety of a building and its users. They define how a structure must be built in terms of its thermal efficiency and environmental impact.
If you want to add a conservatory to your home, you may require Building Regulations.
A conservatory IS EXEMPT from building regulations when..
The floor area of that extension does not exceed 30m2, provided that in the case of a conservatory or porch which is wholly or partly glazed.
It has an independent heating system - not attached to central heating.
Built only at ground level.
A thermal barrier to separate dwelling and conservatory (for example a window/door).
Building Regulations for open-plan conservatories
The Building Regulations for an open-plan conservatory are different.
Removing any exterior doors or walls between your house and conservatory WILL require building regulations approval.
To gain this, you must prove that any new structural opening does not result in your conservatory (or the rest of the house) being less energy efficient.
In circumstances where an application is necessary, you will be required to submit full structural, working drawings and heat-loss calculations to building control.
This room is so much better and more useable than a conservatory. How much roughly does a room like this cost? I understand if you don’t want to say. Thanks for sharing the room. X
Heavenly ... we would love to do an extension project like this. Can I just ask how you maintain and clean the Karndean flooring. Do you have to use specialist cleaning materials and how does it wear? Is it also suitable for kitchens and bathrooms? So enjoying following your home improvements, keep it coming!!! x
Helen Reid thank you. And the Karndean is brilliant really low maintenance. We had it in our last house and we didn't have to do a thing to it, this one is a bit lighter and shows more smudges so we have to clean it more often but we just use regular cleaning stuff, it does have its own cleaning stuff too though. My mum has Karndean in her kitchen and once a year or so a guy comes in and refreshes it, it costs less than £100 and makes it look like new. We didn't bother with that in our last house and it still looked amazing but I think we will with this one. And yes you can use it in kitchens and bathrooms x
