A Hundred Stories

Pretty on the outside, even prettier on the inside 🌿

This gorgeous old pine wardrobe has the loveliest floral wallpaper lined interior plus a generous drawer underneath.

A Sunday well spent… 😬

Taking up floorboards ready for the electricians because today the full house rewire begins.

The entire house needs rewiring, so Jamie spent Sunday lifting the old floorboards to make way for all the new wiring.

We’re trying to preserve as much of the original house as possible, so everything is being lifted carefully and will go back down afterwards.

And watch until the end… there’s even a rare little bit of praise for me. 😂 I’ll take it.

🚨 50% OFF - OUR BIGGEST EVER CLEARANCE 🚨

We have NEVER done this before, but we desperately need to make some space at the yard.

For a very limited time, we’re offering a massive 50% OFF 6 of our largest pieces.

These are big, beautiful pieces taking up a LOT of space, so they need to go!

The only catch: all sale pieces must be collected / delivered within one week of purchase.

If you’ve had your eye on one of them, now is definitely the time… 50% off and once they’re gone, they’re gone.

Turns out our stone steps weren’t actually grey… 😳

Another job ticked off and possibly one of the most satisfying transformations yet.

The gutters desperately needed clearing and while we were at it, we had the front steps jet washed too.

Underneath years of dirt was the most beautiful Portland stone - I genuinely can’t believe the difference.

Big thank you to Netto at Essential Cleaning for doing such a brilliant job. This isn’t a paid collaboration, just a genuine recommendation after being really impressed with his work.

Now I’m looking around for what else we can jet wash… 😂

Why we had to scrap our entire kitchen plan… 😩

Well, this wasn’t quite what we were hoping to find. Turns out the kitchen is riddled with damp. Everywhere.

The plaster needs to come off the walls, the floor needs to come up and the whole room needs to be tanked. So, essentially, by the time we’ve finished, we’ll have pretty much rebuilt the entire room.

Not exactly part of the plan, which made us question whether we actually wanted to put the kitchen back in there at all.

Which brings us to Plan B. Follow along to find out more!

Either the best or worst decision we've ever made.

Day 2 + 3 of the big strip out… 🔨

We've been a little bit busy... trying to keep up with the renovation AND Instagram is a LOT!

Big thanks to the girls for getting stuck in and helping and to Jamie who's living his best life...

Once the main strip out is finished, the plumbing strip out can begin and it’s a big one. New boiler, new cylinder and ALL new pipework needed 😳

Keep watching 👀
