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…

This month Arthur’s bedroom furniture arrived! We’re still needing a few more things such as a chair and photo frames but this room is almost finished! We’ve done a very subtle forest / outdoor theme in here but I wanted this room to be a great transitional room which David and I can easily move…

This month we spent a lot of time in the garden. At last, the gravel where the hot tub was is gone, as are the stones which bordered the concrete slab. We’ve taken a lot back and have seeded it again so hopefully the grass grows through okay. I also painted our old fence green…

Well, with Arthur’s birth in January I’ve neglected this space a little but we’re back and spending any spare time we have renovating the house. This month, we finished decorating Arthur’s room and are just waiting for his furniture to arrive in early June. I am over the moon with how this room turned out…

This month, the living room has taken priority to get it ready in time for Christmas/baby’s arrival in the early new year. We’re now at the point where with each new day the room is looking completely different. This is always the most exciting part though as it really starts to take shape and you…

I am getting so bad at remembering to take plenty of photos and videos of the house. But this month, we finally finished the upstairs bedroom and moved in! We’re still waiting on shutters to be fitted which won’t be until the new year and I need to do the final bits of decorating but…
