Its great that you are appreciative of all those period features and character..One piece of advise is not to rush what to change or get rid of ..studying alot on interiors I once read that A house has wants..it will tell you. ;)...I love how roxy followed too up the stairs ..so adorable. Then showed her pleasure at the new home. I WAS SCREAMING CONVERTED WHEN YOU WERE THINKING.what stands out for me is the light from the windows. I would do anything to safeguard this!!ohh Btw..so funny that the kitchen table was on a ship.Q&A ..how far are you from local shops cafe etc/how did you pay for the house/neighbours ?

    My grandmother told me that when she lived on the farm when my dad was a little boy that they had a shower in the utility for the men to wash up when they came in from the fields... so they wouldn't drag their field dirt through the house. I would put the shower head on a hose and use it to wash the dog. The shower walls will keep the mess contained when the dog shakes. 💖🌞🌵😷

  • @joeyleery2002

    I personally would change the kitchen door to open inwards into the kitchen, especially if it stays open most of the time.That will free the entrance a lot, but you will still have the option to close it. It will work, because when it is open (most of the time as you said) it will open towards the built-in fridge!

    Absolutely beautiful! For adding storage to the kitchen I would recommend doing more furniture pieces rather than built ins. Modern built ins will look less quality than the old wooden kitchen cabinets, and built ins in general modernize the space. Historically built ins are not really used, it’s a lot more dressers and shelves and racks.

    What a truly beautiful home! Little idea for the living room just now would be to move the smaller sofa and the armchair to a different part of the house, move the remaining sofa so it sits more central on the wall, looking out of your beautiful window. Get a couple of ercol wooden type chairs, perhaps a rocking one and adorn with pretty cushions and throws for comfort, add a nice big rug too. My advice, don’t follow trends , let the building guide and tell you what is needed/ not needed. It’s a beautiful home as it is, that’s why you bought it . Have fun in your new home, best wishes!

      There are under bed plastic or wood storage units so since you like higher bed, get bed risers, buy under bed storage for linens, towels, bedding, seasonal clothes etc....add bed ruffle and all is tidy and ready in each bedroom. Usually can fit 4 to 6 storage units under each bed ...giving you lots more space in closets and drawers.

    You have a kitchen that can pull off different color cabinets and a hutch (dresser). I absolutely love the vintage color of the cabinets and that smokey gray on the hutch. Soooo much character! :)

    Congratulations on your wonderful new home! We have a Georgian house too that we love. We had a company restore our original windows and replace the glass panes with double glaze panes so they still retain their original look- totally worth it! I would not remove any doors. They are a lifesaver in winter where you can maintain heat when you’re in the living room. That chair would look great in the dressing room! Wishing you both many happy years in your new home. 🏡❤️

    Please don't get rid of the white dresser/hutch in the kitchen! It's such a beautiful piece. If anything, if you get rid of the shower in the utility, the dresser/hutch can go there for more storage

    Just stumbled upon your channel today; your home is absolutely lovely. It’s just as I imagined an English country home would look like - those fireplaces, the deep windows, the Aga. And I the idea of adding wallpaper is perfect - I’ve always appreciated wallpapers. The mirror sitting against the wall upstairs is gorgeous! Dreamy all around.

    Instead of knocking through to the garage you can do a smaller pantry door to pass through groceries and such... Maybe 4 feet x 4 feet or about that size door/ passage.... And I think any future babies/ kids would have a blast going through 😂

I'm just wondering why you went for two spare bedrooms instead of turning one of them into your office space. Looking forward to seeing your journey of renovating :)

    In my humble opinion , one of the things that I see for shure working it's to open the living room and incorporate the corredor to the living. Will be lovely, and still cozy!
    And of cours go for the wall paper, especially for the wall infront of the window... and a lovely pastel color landscape frame on the bed wall...

    So glad I've come across this video and your channel. I'm wanting to buy my first house by myself next year when I turn 30, and been watching lots of house reno videos but unconsciously they've made me quite anxious as everyone seems to have a "style" and been doing loads of "things" to their house. This has made me unwind completely and refocused and recentred me on what I know I want out of moving out - a simple countryside home with big rooms, old features and space for me and my (future) dog(s), and that's it. Trying to figure out "what my style is" has got me thinking hard but seeing this has made me remember that yes, this is my style, and it's what I want next year for the next era of my life in my 30s :)

    That kitchen dining area just really screams family home to me. Wether thats in the plans for you or not, I just feel like it really resonates with that 'heart of the home' vibe. At first I felt a bit negative about you moving again (not that my opinion matters xD), but now that Ive seen your home, I can definitely see why. Love it!

    You have such a beautiful home and the way you decorated it is just lovely. Since you were asking for recommendations for the renovation: Maybe you could knock out the wall between the living room and the hallway. Like open plan living. I saw Three Birds Renovations doing it and it really transformed the space. Greetings from Germany! :)

    • @elisarodriguez7163
      @elisarodriguez7163 Před 3 lety +8

      That’s a great idea! Since the living room isn’t as big as the kitchen, it would open it up and “balance” the spaces in my opinion

    • @SaraShuffles84
      @SaraShuffles84 Před 3 lety +5

      I would do that and go one step further and open both walls in the back so the kitchen dining room and living are all open with each other,

      @nadjak3410 Před 3 lety +40

      It wouldn't match her style imo. The cottage style lives off of being a bit mixed and matched and those colors she has now mix and match beautifully. Painting them the same color and finish makes it too furniture catalogue-y.

    • @helentaylor7132
