I can’t believe how fast the year is flying by, and with April here, we’re officially two years into our renovation journey. This month, we turned our attention to what will become our third bedroom. Previously, this space was actually part of our main bedroom but after dividing the room into two back in 2022,…

I didn’t write an update post in February because, to be honest, we took the month off! We finished the office right at the beginning of the month and took the rest of the time just to chill out and enjoy it. Mid-March we got back into the work, starting with the fence.We added the…

Wow my first monthly update for 2024. I genuinely feel the years are flying by. This April will mark two years of living here yet it only feels like two minutes… This month’s focus was the upstairs office (what used to be the upstairs loo!). We moved into this room right at the end of…

What an unforgettable year. 2023 has been one of the busiest years I’ve ever experienced — not least because in January our little Arthur bear arrived amidst the first year of a 5 year long house renovation! Between spending time with Arthur, doing up the house, and working, there’s very little time for anything else……

If you follow me on Instagram you’ll have seen that this month we finished our upstairs bathroom! I’ve written a post with more photos and videos earlier this month which you can read via this link. This means our drainage is now in place and broken pipes have been fixed too which is a relief…

We achieved so much in November. Firstly, in the porch, we added in some of the decor I’ve had in storage for months such as the Garden Trading peg rail which I was very excited about! We also tidied up the paintwork on the internal windows using frog tape to mark a 3cm border on…

October! I can’t believe it’s already been and gone. This month, we really pushed on with the porch and the upstairs bathroom. In the bathroom, we ‘tanked’ the shower ready for decoration and fitting and started tiling! In here, we’re doing a brick effect metro tile using 7.5 x 30cm tiles. The shower tray is…

Another busy month! September saw a lot of progress made on the upstairs bathroom thanks to my dad. After installing the skylight in August, the room no longer felt like a storage cupboard and there’s been massive progress made ever since. The shower tray has been set. The supporting beam has been boxed in, insulated…

I wrote about how we had a quiet month in July but we’ve more than made up for it in August. This month we finished the vanity unit, deciding to seal the top using Neptune’s IsoGuard oil in Natural Oak. I am over the moon with how this turned out and so happy with the…

Compared to previous months, this one was quiet! For the first time in a while, we had a few weekends off and it was only towards the end of the month that we started our vanity unit project. If you follow me on Instagram you might’ve seen some of my stories about this but one…
