One week transformation! Decorating a dark and dingy dumping ground into a beautiful guest bedroom!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 жов 2024
- We have one week until guests arrive from the UK to stay at our house in Central Portugal... But there's nowhere for them to stay! watch this week's vlog to see if Dave and I can turn what was once a dingy and dark downstairs shower room which then became our storage room (dumping ground!) into a beautiful guest bedroom for Dave's son to stay over in just one week! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Amazing job. You work so hard. Love the birdsong in the background of your commentary ❤
Cheers 🍻 We're just sitting down to a cold beer now and enjoying the progress we made 👌🏼💪🏼 Can't wait for Josh to get here now ☺️🙏🏼🇵🇹❤️ Xxx
The room looks great
Thank you 🙏🏼 I hope Josh likes it 🤞🏼 Xx
Amazing transformation of the room. Well done 🤗🥰💕👏🏾👏🏾
Cheers! Thanks soo much! It was hard work but the transformation just shows what can be done! We're really happy with it and hope Josh likes it 🤞🏼❤️🇵🇹 Xxx
very clever night tables, I love the elephant tapestries too, and the artwork and books
Thank you 👍🏼 It's great to get all the things I've collected over my travels and over the years in the different places I've lived in one place. To get them out of storage and to see and enjoy them again and to share that with our viewers makes it even more lovely. Thanks for commenting 🙏🏼 Xxx
Awww that looks gorgeous and I love the blue wall hangings.You are very talented making those bedsides.Im sure he will be very comfortable ❤
Thanks 🙏🏼 I bought the elephant wall hangings when I lived in Camden in London in my 20's from the Stables Market. I've used them in one way or another at every place I've lived. They make every room look lovely and cosy. Really like them 😁 glad you do to Xxx
Well done ,such a welcoming room ,lots of love was put in it
Thank you 🙏🏼 It was hot 🥵 work but it's nice to see it finished and a space for all of us now to enjoy ❤️🇵🇹👍🏼 Xxx
Lovely☺
Obrigada 🙏🏼🇵🇹❤️ Xxx
Loved the room transformation, the crates look really good and I love that there is bit of Wales with Mabinogion map and the spoons❤️ really well done. Have a lovely time with Josh💝
Thanks so much 🙏🏼 It's lovely to bring a bit of your culture and heritage to the decoration of a room especially when your sharing it with family. We can't wait for Josh to get here 😊 We both love him very much 💕 Xxx Thanks for watching and commenting, we'll see you next week Xxx
What about making a bed out of pallets? There’s a lot of videos out there on how to do it
@@lenneam3745hi, thanks for your comment, we were going to but couldn't source good pallets quickly enough. They get snapped up very quickly and we were kindly lent the futon. I will make a fold up sofa bed with quality wood in time. Fortunately I don't need a video 😁
Absolutely gorgeous 😍 let me know when you guys are taking bookings!! 😅 Xx
Lol! Guests would have to be used to three crazy dogs that don't stop barking 😅 Don't think we'd get any good reviews! 😂🐕🐕🐕Xx
I'M VERY HAPPY WITH THE PROGRESS, THE SIMPLICITY AND THE SMALL DETAILS. CONGRATULATIONS MY HEART FRIENDS
That's lovely 😍 We are really happy also and hope Josh likes his stay here 🤞🏼❤️🇵🇹 Xxx
Great job on the room. Love the curtains/wall hanging. Beautiful. And the red bedspread is such a great pop of colour. I’m jealous.
Thank you 🙏🏼 The bedspread isn't mine, I borrowed it with the futon so unfortunately that will have to go back after Josh's visit but I agree with you about the colour. I wouldn't have thought of using it like that but it definitely works 👌🏼I've had those wall hangings since my early 20's living in Camden 😅 They've come with me everywhere ☺️🇵🇹❤️ Thanks for commenting and your support 🙏🏼 Xxx
Beautiful transformation. You created a very welcoming space.😊
Cheers 🥂 It was just under a week of very hard work but it was totally worth it 🙌🏼 Painting the bathroom today 😁 Xxx
Woww It's looking amazing. Love the room and it's contents. Beautiful artwork, tapestries. Well done. Congratulations. ❤❤
Thanks so much Maria 🙏🏼 We really appreciate your continued support and words of encouragement 🙏🏼❤️🇵🇹 Xxx
It looks absolutely fabulous, but I wouldn’t expect anything else you really know how to transform things, I reckon it would make a lovely Airbnb if you ever fancied going down that route 💕
Thank you Sam! We were surprised how well it came together 😊! Josh (Dave's son) is here now and he really likes it and the futon is really comfy to sleep on so it all worked out really well ❤️ Thanks for you our support and commenting Xxx
You have done a really great job with this room I love the wall hangings 💚👍
I'm glad you liked it 😊 Thank you 🙏🏼😀 Xx
That is an amazing transformation which I would personally pay money to stay in. Well done both of you. Can't wait for the next one.
Thanks Andrew 🙏🏼 That's very lovely of you 💕 Xxx
@@portugalmuse8430 You're very welcome, you have an eye for design without the pomp and using simple things that draw the eye and looks extremely comfortable.
Wonderful transformation! 🤩
Your creativity and artistic quality shows.
Hard work is well worth it. It makes one feel great once completed.
Congratulations on a job well done. 😊
Obrigada Sammie 🙏🏼 We really appreciate your kind words Xxx
You are welcome 😊
It’s interesting to watch “then and now” reveals!
We too, work in renovations, so I know how hard it is, but so gratifying, when the transition is finished. 😊 👍
Nice work!
Thank you 🙏🏼😊 Xxx
What a transformation.
Thanks Kate 🙏🏼🇵🇹❤️
It looks great! I would try and keep the ceiling height, it makes the room look bigger.
I assume the plastic was put on the ceiling temporarily? It would be great to see the beans retained even if panels put between them.
Thank you 👍🏼 I agree with you 👌🏼 The floor is a lot higher than what it should be as well. We've discussed digging down, that's definitely what we'll do in the other room with the soil floor. We want to put down tanking and do it properly. I suspect it's just concrete over hardcore in this room and ultimately we'd want the entire floor done properly with a waterproof membrane to stop damp rising 🤞🏼 Xx
Turned out lovely! I'd use that as the summer bedroom for sure :)
Cheers 🥂! I tink I will be using it after Josh has gone back to the UK 😊 It's nice to have your own space sometimes just to chill out and relax 👍🏼🇵🇹❤️ Xxx
@@portugalmuse8430 safe room 😊
Maybe Dave can fashion a murphy bed that turns into a desk?
Wow! You guys could rent out that spare room. It went from creepy to Air B&B. Josh is going to be really happy to stay there.
Thank you 😁
Thanks Xxx
How lovely does that room look with very little cost just some good imagination... Well done 💛
Thank you Alice! It was a lot of hard work this week but we both feel really proud sitting down to a cold beer tonight and looking at the progress we made ☺️🙏🏼 Xxx
Ffantastic transformation there guys. 👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you 🙏🏼 Josh really liked the room and said the futon was really comfy 👌🏼 Xx
love the rugs!! I have a few made by granmother, they used them as summer blankets and they were made with scraps and old clothes
Olá Rita! We have a similar thing in Wales from hundreds of years ago, I remember making them in primary school as a way of remembering our old traditions and culture, they were called 'mat rags' in Welsh which means a mat made of old clothes or bits of spare fabrics. I love finding out the history and culture of places. Thanks so much for sharing 🙏🏼🇵🇹❤️ Xxx
Curtains and space is cool
Thank you 🙏🏼 I bought the curtains in Camden in my early 20's ☺️ I've used them every where I've lived 👍🏼
Brand new to your channel and happy to be here. You did such a great job in turning this space into a really comfy space for your visitor. I am sure he will appreciate it all.
Hi 👋🏼 Thank you 🙏🏼 Glad you liked the room. Josh arrives on Wednesday. Dave's already bricked up the door to the main living space and I'm painting the bathroom today so we are on track to get everything done for his visit 🤞🏼👍🏼❤️🇵🇹 Xxx
Love it!
Obrigada Anna 🙏🏼🇵🇹❤️
Eu colocaria uma trave naporta em baixo, no interior para não entrarem ratos e do lado de fora uma chapa para proteger a madeira em baixo também
Olá, obrigado pelo seu comentário. Não há qualquer folga na parte inferior da porta e é muito espessa. Eventualmente, haverá uma nova porta.
Good to know 👍🏼 Thanks 🙏🏼 Obrigada 🇵🇹❤️🙏🏼
Nice one. Good job Awen x
Hi Cheryl 👋🏼 Thanks ❤️🇵🇹🙏🏼 Xxx
Loved how you transformed this storage room in your adorable guest room, it's really very charming and comfy looking.
Will you be letting it from time to time? With a tiny refrigerator or electric cooler, i can see its occupant finding a basket of breakfast items and a small carafe or thermos of hot coffee at the door in the morning. 😊
Hi Ruth! Lovely to hear from you again! Thanks soo much for watching and adding these fantastic comments! They are really helpful and inspiring. I have thought of doing Airbnb here but not at this house. It's a bit too small and we've not got a separate space for the dogs and I know they'd just bark at people 😅 but definitely something to think about for the future Xx
💖💖💖
😍
What a beautiful room! What did you use on the back of the door? Stain? The sheen is just amazing!
Thank you 🙏🏼 It's just outdoor furniture wood stain! It's all I had 😅 I show what the paint was in another video where I restore our garden table. I'll see if I can find the link Xxx
