Wouldn’t it be good if everything worked in harm Wouldn’t it be good if everything worked in harmony like it used to before Perimenopause hit 🤪 #MenopauseMatters #virałreel #WorldMenopauseDay #périménopause #perimenopausal
Honestly, I wake up in the middle of the night wor Honestly, I wake up in the middle of the night worrying about all of these things! Even though I know that worrying never changes anything, I still find the self doubt in my head creeps in and I panic… Will the carpets I’ve chosen look okay and will the bedrooms sit alongside the landing and stairs carpet? Will the light fittings for the living room and music room actually arrive and look okay?! I’m 50/50 as to whether they will. I’m setting my expectations low, so that I might be pleasantly surprised. When IS the right time to move in. I’d move in tomorrow, but I get that having two bedrooms and bathrooms finished is the sensible thing to do! I just wanna be in… The blue in the guest suite is a specific tone of blue (@farrowandball Stiffkey - you guys know how much I love) and trying to find a wallpaper that matches the look I want, alongside being the right tone isn’t easy 🫣🫣🫣 Now that the living room has dried out and we know there isn’t a damp issue, then it’s all about whether to go with real wood parquet or LVT parquet? Help me guys 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
We’re so close to moving in, I can almost touch We’re so close to moving in, I can almost touch it! It’s still hard to only be there on a weekend, as so much happens when I’m not there. But also it does make going up on a Saturday quite exciting to see how much has been achieved in the past week. The living room is almost there. We need to get the floor laid (either wood parquet or LVT parquet) and the doors need to be rehung, and then it’s down to furnishings and the nice bit of making the dream come to life. We had a bit of a panic last week when I checked the furniture in the outbuildings, as there seems to be a bit of mould from what i could see, so we may have to see if that can be cleaned/treated before we can bring the furniture in. Luckily, bed-wise, then the beds we have here in the flat will be used in the new house, so at the very worst, we’ll be back to living in bedrooms initially. Just wanna get in now. Will do a more in-depth share of the design and moodboard for the living room for next Sunday afternoon. Make sure you set your notifications, so you don’t miss!
In the next few weeks, we’re moving into our unf In the next few weeks, we’re moving into our unfinished Victorian farmhouse renovation — dust, bare walls and all 🏡 The house isn’t finished yet, but we’re ready to live in it and restore it one room at a time. If you are new here, then welcome 🙏🏻 and why not follow our Grade II listed farmhouse renovation, from building work and planning challenges to real life on a live renovation site. We’ll be up all this weekend, so can’t wait to see what’s happened in the last week!
Like seriously is everyone’s January like this, Like seriously is everyone’s January like this, or is it just me?! 🤪
The honest reality of renovating a Grade II listed The honest reality of renovating a Grade II listed farmhouse… • It’s not always pretty. Most days it’s dust, damp patches and half-finished rooms — not the Pinterest version you dream of 🧹🫟 • It’s not always easy. Every decision takes longer, every change needs approval, there’s a lot of hard work and nothing is ever quite straightforward 🪛🪚🪓🔨 • It can be overwhelming. Trying to balance budgets, timelines, family life and work while living out of suitcases in a small flat, or on a building site is… a lot🫣 • There’s so much paperwork. Listed building consent, heritage reports, drawings, revisions — and then more revisions. Oh and don’t forget the EHCP transfer, school change and emailing Local Authorities to ensure it’s all done promptly too 🤪 And there are lots of hidden costs. Things you can’t see until walls come down or floors come up — and suddenly the budget shifts again 💷💷💷 But despite all of that… There’s something incredibly special about bringing an old home back to life and becoming part of its story 🤍 ✨ What would you add to the list? 🏡 And honestly — would you take it on?
