Pink skies this morning, frosty four mile walk under our belts and now we're just waiting for the snow 🌨️

Our hallway window is the same style as the front
Our hallway window is the same style as the front of the house. Yet has no stained glass. We wonder if the stained glass came before or after the house was finished? Maybe the panes broke along the way and it was cheaper to replace all with clear glass?

We guess we'll never know why but we're keeping it as is - we like that it's unique. 💫

We're getting our roofline replaced as the old wooden boards were destroyed. Bowed, warped, flaking and last spring home to lots of birds that would frequently make their way indoors. Which was always a surprise 🐦. 

This is probably what makes us renovators fall madly in love with our money pits. The beautiful details in the construction from the corbels to the decorative lintels. Looking forward to seeing this as refreshed as our new chimney pots 👋

Next on the hit list is our bedroom storage. I think we mentioned previously that we're IKEA hacking our way to built-in wardrobes. Swipe for mock-up of the PLATSA units we've planned out. Our builder is currently building a frame for them to slot into to give the look of built-in. (We've found the @bobbins.at.home highlight for IKEA hacks verrryyy useful!)

We're also building out our fireplace a bit so we can centre our chimney opening. And it'll be finished off by mounting our TV to the chimney breast. We know that TVs in bedrooms are a no-no but meh, we love ours! 

We have lovely original tiles on our hearth but as we're centering our opening they'll be off centre so instead of taking them up we're thinking we might build a raised heath over the top to preserve them for future owners.

We were going to build everything out to be flush but we think it'll lose some charm so changed back to the original plan at the last min. Our builder loves us 👍

So all that's left is for us to place our order.

Kitchen goals 🖤

We made a decision and ordered our kitchen. Thanks to all those that helped us on stories! It was basically 50:50 between sage and blue. Do you want to know what we went for or shall we save it as a surprise? 

Next decision is worktop, we haven't found one we love yet and we're currently rehashing old ideas. That's the one thing we've learnt in this whole renovation, normally our initial choice is our favourite, as soon as we entertain other ideas we realise original is the best.

Can't wait to see this hole in the wall glazed soon.

The plaster around our bay sustained some damage whilst the sashes were repaired, mostly due to poor patch repairs in the past. We decided it was a good opportunity to insulate, foam fill any gaps and board them. Now all they need is a frame to finish them off. 💛💫
