Those ears are probably the only clue this picture gives to what is actually going on here today. In a word it’s pretty noisy. It’s Day 3 of our extension build and the digger has just arrived so the guys are starting work on the foundations. Meanwhile I have a scaffold tower outside my window and they are drilling the old pebbledash off the brickwork in preparation for the rendering. Things are moving pretty quickly at the moment and there are so many decisions to make. We definitely made the right choice with that @wearewoodpecker flooring though. Love it!
...and just as we start to get things in some kind of order around here it’s all about to descend into chaos again. The demolition crew arrive this week to knock down the garage and outbuildings so that work can start on the extension. Hard hats at the ready. 👷🏻‍♀️#designhunterrenovations
The house really is a house of two halves at the moment. The bedrooms and the living room are pretty much finished but there’s still a long way to go in the hallway. We’ve replastered as much of it as we can but have had to leave the wall adjoining the stairs for now as the layout will be changing when we knock through into the new extension. When we first moved in I hated the landing - it felt really cramped - but we’ve finally ripped off the old board that was covering up the staircase to reveal the original spindles underneath and it’s made such a difference. It feels so light and open now compared to how it was before. I can’t wait to start work on stripping back the woodwork and painting it. #designhunterrenovations
Easing into 2019 by finishing off a few little jobs around the house. A bar area has been on my wish list since we started planning the living room and, although it still needs a picture or two on the wall and maybe a bit of greenery, I’m pretty pleased with how this little corner is shaping up. I looked at several bar trolleys before eventually ordering this black metal table from @hmhome instead. I’ve raved about how much I love their homewear before and this was an absolute steal, so I’ll be skipping dry January and spending the money I saved on gin.
I’m not moving for the rest of the day... apart from the odd trip to the fridge to finish off what’s left of the cheese. Hello 2019! 🥂✨
A few favourites from a year that began with a decision to move house and was dominated by a renovation project that has consumed most of our time. We’ve both found lots of creative satisfaction in tackling the work ourselves and been able to admire the results of our efforts as the transformation has started to take place. As we head into 2019 I’m looking forward to taking a little more time out to head off on holidays, adventures and weekends away and hatching plans for new work directions. Wishing you all a very happy new year! 🥂✨
Peace, love & a very merry Christmas. x🎄✨
A little lie in before I hit the shops to pick up a few last bits and pieces, a final push to get the house clean and tidy and then I’m going to try to find some time to finally make a wreath for our front door. Have a festive weekend everyone.
