My little design assistant takes his pillow fluffing VERY serious.

Mornin’ y’all! It’s been a good, long while since you guys have seen this view, so I got her all dressed up with these divine blue #hydrangeas to show ya!

It’s hard to believe but this area used to be completely boxed off. The current support beam above my island was the former hallway wall. You can see the former dining room entrance wall location in the foreground. And just behind my table (sort of near my great grandmother’s pie safe) was another tiny wall that separated off a small breakfast nook. It was sooooo choppy, and I soooo love the way this space opened up!
.

This was also one of the most deteriorated parts of my #cottage. The ceilings were starting to cave and water damage was rampant. You can tell by the color variation in the floor. My floor guy couldn’t sand deep enough (without making the floors to thin) to “cut” out all the water damage. So I left it! That’s all those beautiful black stripes and I love the variations so so much!! (And PS: That chandelier is also original. 93 years old!)

Also, PSS: Only a few days left to vote for #bhgbestfrontyard! If you feel my front yard is deserving, I would so appreciate your vote. And don’t forget you can vote each day between now and the 19th. The link is in my profile. ☺️

Hope you guys have a fantastic week! I’m in California for a short period but will be back home before you can say scat. Whatever your week holds, I hope lots of amazing twists and turns unfold for you. Happy Monday!

The front of our house is still very much a work in progress, but this is a massive step forward! Our gorgeous new door was fitted yesterday and it was bye bye to the shoddy internal fire door the previous owners had installed as a front door, along with a dilapidated wooden outer door that didn’t even lock ♀️ thank god they hadn’t ripped out the original tiles too! We now have light flooding in to the hallway for the first time since we moved in 10 months ago ✨ #frontdoor #originaltiles #stormporch #renovationstation #renovationrealities #victorianterrace #victorianrenovation #periodrenovation #myrenostory #eastham
Good morning my beautiful gang ! I can’t wait to make my window gorgeous! Me and captain rob have been discussing what we want to do next in terms of house renovation as well as the B word.... budget. I think it’s really good to have a plan when it comes to renovating because you’ve always got to be one step ahead of the game! It’s working out cost as well a priority. What your “want” done sooner isn’t usually what “must” be done. Anyway! Happy hump day! Here a little photo of my gorgeous original 1903 window, twinning with my buddy / window twin at @everchanginghouse expect her house is much further along than mine! .

It’s sawdusty and unfinished awaiting its worktops, tap, hob and plinths but the last week has seen a Herculean effort to get the kitchen installed.
I’ve had countless messages after I storied this bargainous kitchen but the basic gist is this - cabinets and Blum/Hafele mechanisms from local cabinetmaker (Jays Furniture, Leicestershire) Ikea Kungsbacka doors and panels, Halifax Egger Oak drawer fronts from Benjamin James Kitchens and a joiner extraordinaire who can wave a wand and make it all work together. Once the dust has settled I’ll share a breakdown of costs because loads of you have asked for it.
We’ve also agreed a move-in date with our builder for the weekend of the 15/16 June, a week ahead of my due date and everyone seems committed to making that happen. The entire downstairs has been cleared ahead of the floor being finished on Monday and decorators completing on Tuesday.
There’s still a LOT left to finish off, but in terms of habitable home with no more major internal works imminent, we’re nearly there

Happy Sunday! The bathroom is still slowly but surely coming together. As evidenced by this pic, there is still some painting finishing touches that are needed...window treatments...etc. STILL waiting on shower door install and this time my hubs isn’t the reason for a delay BUT I got this cool ladder shelf basket (I think it was referred to as a “quilt ladder” on @wayfair) for storage and I’m loving how it fits in this corner of the bathroom!!! With all the white I love how the wood tones of the vanity, this piece, and eventually floating shelves on the back wall warm things up a bit.

Ah May. The month when every other house in the street is having scaffolding put up, skips delivered, extensions built, gardens landscaped, brickwork repointed, windows painted or paving...um, paved. I was just sighing in relief that the constant shouting of cockney builders on a loft extension opposite us was finally dying down when a crew arrived today with a giant pile of sand and a wheelbarrow with a wheel that goes Eeeeee eeeeeee eeeeee. Back and forth. EEEEE EEEEE EEEEEE. All day. Wonder if anyone has ever been killed with a can of WD40?
If we hadn't recently annoyed our neighbours with 6 years of renovation noise, I might even complain Eeeeeeeee.
Hope you're having a lovely week guys
