A hallway/library could be cool too! Like coming home to a bookshop 😊
Something I really appreciate with your videos (apart from the great views and the cute dog) is that the renovation feels very realistic and thoughtful. You allow it to take time, make some temporary fixes and allow yourself to change your mind rather than having everything be perfect straight away. Renovations can be draining financially and mentally, but it feels like you are doing it in a sustainable way. You are very inspiring. Thank you for sharing and also for bearing with everybody's opinions about what you "should" do ❤
The house is looking fabulous, I think you have done LOADS. Also I lived in a house for 10 years that had a stable door in the kitchen and I really really miss it. It’s not drafty and cold, it’s fabulous x
You should be so proud of yourself for all that you’ve achieved in six months. Not only have you managed a house sale of your old home but you’ve embraced a new home and all that comes with it. Plus this house you bought, yourself 🎉, incredible achievement! Then it came with a whole pile of previous owners stuff to go through…that’s a huge headache..so you had that to deal with too. Also you had a wonderful summer socialising with friends and travelling. You, my girl, are living the best life! Embrace your freedom and enjoy it. ❤
ooh the small table in the living room would be so perfect for games and puzzles!
As a 64 year old and just widowed recently I am finding you have so inspired me to do things on my own ! I have learned to do so many things in the past few months ! I thank you Caroline for your optimism all the time 😊Watching you from far away Nov a Scotia Canada 🇨🇦‼️Keep on being your wonderful self ❤️You are soo wise beyond your young age ‼️
The only thing i would eventually do to that beautiful hallway is possibly french doors that you can leave open or closed depending on how you feel! I love this home!!
I agree with you on the kitchen island. I’ve never cared to have one either.
Huge progress. Decisions made. Floors in. Baths nearly done. Custom personalized mural enchanting the room. Freedom of rocking natural hair texture. So good.
I don’t know why people are obsessed your bedroom size. You own a big beautiful house and all of those rooms are your rooms! Haha. I also own my own house and when I had a shed built for my yard several people asked if it was a “she shed”…. And I was like— umm no, I have a “she house” and need a place for my tools 😂 People can say the silliest things!
Your house is getting along so nicely! I actually really like the porch/ entrance hall situation, I find it’s so much nicer than opening the door to a dining room. Maybe you can tile the porch for now x
I love all your ideas. I especially love the big, old table in the kitchen. (I am not an island kinda girl, either) The only thing I question is the door next to the cooker, which I think is gas? Growing up, our cooker was next to the back door and the pilot light on the stove top was frequently getting blown out. I am sure cookers have changed in 60 years, but as I am typing this, I realized I conjured a good memory of our kitchen. It was small and cozy! I also love that you are not going down the path of "open concept", which I absolutely hate! I don't want to sit on the living room sofa and watch someone cook dinner! (rather sit at the big table with a cup of tea and watch someone cook dinner) Too, if I'm working in the kitchen, I do not want to disturb everyone else. Taking your time and working with your anxiety, is really paying off!
I can't believe how much you've got through in 6 months. I think people sharing their ideas is part of making renovation videos, especially when uncertainties and decisions to be made are shared. It means people are engaged and invested in what you're doing - and will come back to see more. The kitchen plans look wonderful!
Built in floor to ceiling bookcases on either side of the fireplace would be so beautiful and cozy ! Love the idea of a small table but would place on other side of door so you can see fire while you have your tea or breakfast - also helps to balance the room I think my favourite room is the living room but can picture where you’re going with the red kitchen and can hardly wait to see how fabulous that will be ! Thanks for the tour!
Can't believe I'm this early! This video came at the right time, like a warm cup of tea and a hug from a friend that I desperately needed.
Oh my gosh, knocking through blue spear bedroom bathroom would be sooo cute. What a great idea! Would make the two bathrooms feel their own rather than identical like they used to be. Would be so lovely, create a new vibe ❤
I love your hallway...but can you just imagine a Christmas tree in your living room to the left of the fireplace? It would be a picture perfect scene!
As a type A person, it's kind of inspiring to watch you renovate this house in a less structured way and taking your time with it. I also love that you are doing your thing, and I think it makes total sense that you chose the "smallest bedroom", although it's not really that much smaller if you consider the storage and bathroom space. I'm excited to watch along the renovation journey! ☺
I was so sad when you had to say goodbye to the other house but I'm absolutely LOVING your new home! The renovation process is so exciting to follow along with you.
I’m so proud of how far you’ve come, so inspiring!
