Being a fellow Brit, and not being able to (probably ever) afford a property, I feel like I can live my property dreams vicariously through you! It looks better and better with everything you're doing! :)
Jayeeta Bardhan very costly, mainly in the south. In the north where i live it is much cheaper but i live in the most expensive area in my county so i will probs never get to live there which is a shame cos it's gorgeous as we're surrounded by the countryside and we have pittoresque villages and towns
Gracie I am sorry for you guys😬😬😬 I recently moved to US from Russia (thank God) and was able to buy a nice house in California after 3 years of hard work...so don’t give up. I am so thankful for all the opportunities this county gives me. I am sure with hard work and good education you can do things!
You've done an amazing job with the house, I don't know many people who'd have taken this project on. You've achieved a lot in a relatively short space of time. I've enjoyed watching the journey.
These home renovation videos are amazing!!! I love watching them so much! I missed the first few and I started in the middle and had to go back because I loved them so much! This is like a dream for me to do with a home and you’re inspiring me to clean the entire house haha!❤️😂 keep up the wonderful work!!!
What a transformation! I know this renovation has been a challenge, but the results are amazing. You will have a jewel of a home when all is properly completed. Kudos!
You are a champion and a true jack of all trades!!!!! I am so so impressed you can manage the overwhelm! I remember starting in all corners of my house and suddenly it was a warezone for a year, but oh boy was it worth it all!
Everything is really coming along. It always takes more time then you think. We have been at ours for 3 years now and it is finally getting done. There is something really satisfying in knowing that we did it all our selves and for very little money. As and when is our motto.
Now you've got this far it will all move on quickly . You've done a good job, good for you and you will have your home how you want it and unique. We did the same and I love our home it's just right for us
I love seeing your house progression videos! Very excited to see how this house turns out. The rooms which you've finished, or are close to finishing, look very cute!!
"I'm gonna do a fun pop of colour (...) a grey", lol. That got me laughing. The house looks so great, and I'm really impressed of all the work you guys have done yourselves. I can't wait to see it all finished ❤
I recently found your channel and I must say you are extremely motivated and even more lovely. You are not lazy for sure. I am enjoying binge watching your vlogs.
I honeslty admire you positivity! I started the renovation of my home more or less in the same period as yours. Watching your previous videos I thought yours would've been ready by now, while mine is gonna take at least another month, so I was like "oh lucky her!". But then watching this right now, makes me realize that it takes time and that I have to be patient. It's so hard though, I can't wait to move innnnn!!!! Btw you're doing an amazing job. Can't wait to see it done!! xx
Are you sure it's ok to not have a shower curtain? I have that sort of shower door and I had to put a curtain on to cover the rest of the bath side as water was getting everywhere.... Anyway the house is looking amazing! Must be so exciting to have finally reached the decorating stage. I'm also amazed at your ability to thrift/find cheap or free items too.
I definitely will have to test it out, if it needs one I’ll pop one around it 😀 my nan has one like this and it seems to keep the water in, but I’m a bit nervous about it, so thanks for pointing it out as I’d completely forgotten that I was going to test it. And thank you for the lovely comment 😀
We had a glass panel like that at our old apartment, and as you said the water got all over the wall and it basically made the paint come off in a bunch of spots. Considering the wall behind the toilet is pretty far, i don't think you will have this problem with your shower. I would have maybe tiled all the way up to the ceiling though. The house is coming together slowly but surely !! It will look so wonderful in the end ! Keep up the hard work :)
Love seeing these updates. Your house is coming along beautifully. It inspires me to get on with the last few jobs I have left to do on mine. Look forward to your next one xxx
Another tip for finding things that I do myself is when you buy drinks (anything at all like an iced coffee or a juice) that come in a glass bottle, some of the glass bottles are quite nice if you can just take off the label. I don’t own a vase but I have these small cute looking bottles that hold a flower or two and look really cute all over the house. People comment on them and are very surprised when I tell them it’s just a drink I had and saved the bottle. FYI I live in Australia, it might not be as common for things to come in glass over there, not sure to be honest. Also another edit...a tip with the bricks is to use them to outline garden beds, not sure if you have enough but old bricks should be cheap to come by, and it looks really nice, if you put them in with a bit of mortar (or whatever it’s callled). My dad did this with old bricks in the garden of a house he built.
Can't wait to see it finished. And I love the mixture of thrift Ed and brand new, old and modern. It's going to look amazing once finished. #housegoals
Hi,Hermione!I'm really enjoying to see the renovation of your house!You really had to do a huge work,so I'm so glad to see that it's going very well!and of course I know how beautiful is now the house and garden!Very good job indeed!Good for you!Love it all !I'm a big fan of you!❤️🤗🥰
Call me crazy but I think it would add some neat charm and character of you painted the doors something other than white. Like it makes sense for the inside to be white and match the rooms but I think it’d be neat if the side facing the hallways was a different color
Loving these videos - I would eventually love to buy a fixer upper with my boyfriend once we’ve decided where to live!! Seeing these videos show exactly how much work it is! You’re doing amazingly
I like the juxtaposition of the modern style inline tile formation in the Victorian home. I think its actually more original that the normal presentation of the brick subway layout of tile. plus the matte look is gorg.
I'm always so amazed at what you are doing! I've never a renovation done like this except on fixer upper and they don't show as much as you are. I'm so excited to see what it looks like at the end! I know you can;t show your address, but can you show the front of the house from the outside? I would love to see what the front looks like!
Fortunately I grew up with parents who did it themselves and was given a brush and can of paint by Poperdoo at age 8. I started right then and there at the door...... At the end found myself finishing that lovely floor,it was, and at the only window. Yelling to my Dad,he told me to climb out said window, where I would dry corn and he got the ladder to that wide porch to the back door. Never chiding or laughing,this was the start to my fearless future. I do so love your progress reports. Thank you from Pa,USA.
Hi! I really like what you’ve done with such a beautiful house and how is everything coming along, BUT (hehe) as an architect I cannot beleive how could you install that lighting fixture in the middle of the archway in the entrance... I think that architectural detail would look so much better untouched! I recomend that you put the light either in the entrance hall or in the wall on the staircase space (for that you would need another type of fixture though)... anyways, i congratulate you for what youve achieved! You should be reslly really proud!
Great progress and looking good! Hope you're planning to keep those two different types of outdoor tiles you have on the side garden-they looked very cool and of the period. Can't wait to see more!
I love watching all your home reno videos! Just coming to the end of renovating my 1970s house and looking forward to selling it and moving on to an older one to start all over again
I love those jugs! We used to have them in my grandparents house in odd little places and we would fill them with our spare change whenever we passed one
This series is so inspiring! I also live in the South near Kent and its so ridiculously expensive to own a half decent property. Even if my first house is an old shack your DIYary series is giving me major hope I can just fix it up!! :D
I noticed almost all of your floorboards have gaps in between the planks/wood....I think they will trap dust. Do you plan to cover them or tighten the boards?
+Hermione Chantal great! I'm excited for the final reveal...the house is looking beautiful. Sadly I'm not good in construction so I don't have any idea for you on how to cover those gaps 😖
What tend to happen is that wood contract and expand with the season. Because it is the warmer season it is going to contract. This would be the perfect time to pull the planks up and put them closer then add a little extra on the ends. It is tedious but worth it. There is no cover need to cover those beautiful pieces of wood. Just fill in the gaps.
I"m living for these videos. Your house is coming along so nicely. I think it was a great choice getting a fixer upper. Even though im sure it's stressful sometimes, in the end you'll see how much it was worth it. Can't wait to see the finished product/
You can get a wood filler and mix large batches to apply over your floors, sand, then clear. Do they have large paper rolls you can buy at a home improvement store to tape down so not getting messed up with foot traffic in Europe?
Oh my I’ve just found you and in binge watching your vids, I need to do some work to my home and you’ve inspired me!!!! What colour paint have you used on your office walls, i want to do my upstairs bedrooms in an airy grey and yours looks GORGEOUS! Your home is already so beautiful my lovely ❤️❤️❤️
The house is looking great, really coming along well. The shed/lean-to in the back garden, just a thought, but have you had it looked at, as my concern is that it could possibly have an element of aspestos. If it's stable it's not a worry so much but it can be expensive to have it removed if it's starting to break up. Hope it's not aspestos and it is just concrete and metal. Sorry if I've upset or panicked you, I just thought it better you have it checked out. Keep doing what your doing, the house will love you back for years to come. X
Love this series! I'm also a Victorian home owner. Your original floors are lovely, the only original flooring we've got on show is the front hallway and I hate it. It's been finished well, and it look nice, but good god are the boards drafty. I've had to throw down a massive Ikea hallway rug just to keep it from sucking all the heat out of the house lol! Can't wait to see the the house all finished :)
Loving this series! Me and my partner have just brought a house which needs lots of work. You have given me so much inspiration! What colour grey have you used on the walls? I've been searching for ages and can't find one I like. Xxxx
I lOVE these videos so much you’re house is starting to look so good I’m going to be very sad when it’s finally finished because I live for these videos lol
This is super interesting! Love the series. I know it’s super personal, but it would be really interesting to know the cost of the property and the investment in the property to bring it up to spec
It's looking incredible! Where are your up stairs bathroom tiles from?! They're exactly what we are looking for when we renovate our bathroom! They look completely flat?
Being a fellow Brit, and not being able to (probably ever) afford a property, I feel like I can live my property dreams vicariously through you! It looks better and better with everything you're doing! :)
Bunny Flick why? Is it too costly? Don't lose hope
Jayeeta Bardhan very costly, mainly in the south. In the north where i live it is much cheaper but i live in the most expensive area in my county so i will probs never get to live there which is a shame cos it's gorgeous as we're surrounded by the countryside and we have pittoresque villages and towns
Gracie I am sorry for you guys😬😬😬 I recently moved to US from Russia (thank God) and was able to buy a nice house in California after 3 years of hard work...so don’t give up. I am so thankful for all the opportunities this county gives me. I am sure with hard work and good education you can do things!
What are prices of houses are like in US and UK? I am from India and I live with my family have our own apartment but its costly in India too. :(
Jayeeta Bardhan in California it is about $450.000 for a decent house NOT in a big city
You've done an amazing job with the house, I don't know many people who'd have taken this project on. You've achieved a lot in a relatively short space of time. I've enjoyed watching the journey.

Paint your cabinets blue!
I’m obsessed with this DIY-ary series 😻😻😻
Thank you for sharing the progress of your house. I can tell it's going to be amazing. 💓
Absolutely loving this series! It gives me so much inspiration for our own home 💜
Does anyone else find themselves waiting for her diy-ary videos? 😍 love it!
Everything is really coming along. It always takes more time then you think. We have been at ours for 3 years now and it is finally getting done. There is something really satisfying in knowing that we did it all our selves and for very little money. As and when is our motto.
I love that motto! That’s amazing and so inspiring 😊 congratulations for getting close to the end
Now you've got this far it will all move on quickly . You've done a good job, good for you and you will have your home how you want it and unique. We did the same and I love our home it's just right for us
Thank you for the encouraging comment 😀 it’s so lovely to hear from someone else who has done it too!
Do the Blue paint. Love that color
I love seeing your house progression videos! Very excited to see how this house turns out. The rooms which you've finished, or are close to finishing, look very cute!!
Such a daunting task to remodel, especially an older home. Thank goodness you are young, energetic and full of great ideas!
Thanks for the update! I can’t think of how to deal with your house but I’m glad your journey is being shown. I’m excited to see more!
I redid an old house once; its definately a long process, but its so worth the results! Keep building!
"I'm gonna do a fun pop of colour (...) a grey", lol. That got me laughing. The house looks so great, and I'm really impressed of all the work you guys have done yourselves. I can't wait to see it all finished ❤
It's really coming together. You've worked so hard on it and I admirer how much you have done yourself. It's just lovely x
I recently found your channel and I must say you are extremely motivated and even more lovely. You are not lazy for sure. I am enjoying binge watching your vlogs.

Catherine S our old house's shower looks like that and it didn't spray water.
We had a glass panel like that at our old apartment, and as you said the water got all over the wall and it basically made the paint come off in a bunch of spots. Considering the wall behind the toilet is pretty far, i don't think you will have this problem with your shower. I would have maybe tiled all the way up to the ceiling though.

Really enjoying these updates...Love the colours you're using on the walls, you're giving me ideas, lol. Can't wait to see the next video..
I’m so excited for you!!! It so pretty. Love that you are showing us the different steps of your journey.
Wow wow wow. Your house is coming together quickly!
I love the laundry room cabinets I also love the natural wood door to the bathroom!

Can't wait to see it finished. And I love the mixture of thrift Ed and brand new, old and modern. It's going to look amazing once finished. #housegoals
Thank you so much 😀
What an inspiration! You should be proud. Please could you tell me where the gold handles are from? In the kitchen. Thank you.
I enjoy your videos so much. It’s fun to see the progress!
It's going to look amazing. Love the outside space, it has great potential. It's such an exciting time for you both xxx
Love watching before and after. I am in process of doing my flat up and it feels like it takes forever lol xx
Can't wait to see the final results when it's all completed !!
I have been so invested in this!! I’m so proud
Hi,Hermione!I'm really enjoying to see the renovation of your house!You really had to do a huge work,so I'm so glad to see that it's going very well!and of course I know how beautiful is now the house and garden!Very good job indeed!Good for you!Love it all !I'm a big fan of you!❤️🤗🥰

You remind me so much of Debbie Travis. Enjoying this journey!
Cant wait to see the house finished, u have done so well so far...x
I like the juxtaposition of the modern style inline tile formation in the Victorian home. I think its actually more original that the normal presentation of the brick subway layout of tile. plus the matte look is gorg.
Its coming out great im so happy for you I hope your house is done before at least the holidays
So pleased for you and the progress you are making. Also love the fact that you seem so to use many recycled bargains. Great to see!
the bricks in the garden would make a great fire pit for the garden. very much improved from the first video of the home before your reno started!!!
I'm always so amazed at what you are doing! I've never a renovation done like this except on fixer upper and they don't show as much as you are. I'm so excited to see what it looks like at the end! I know you can;t show your address, but can you show the front of the house from the outside? I would love to see what the front looks like!

Great progress and looking good! Hope you're planning to keep those two different types of outdoor tiles you have on the side garden-they looked very cool and of the period. Can't wait to see more!
Thank you 😀 absolutely, the tiles are amazing, they need a bit of work but I can’t get rid of them 😍 this comment makes me even more keen to keep them
Love your videos, especially your house progress it’s so nice to see it all coming together!
I love watching all your home reno videos! Just coming to the end of renovating my 1970s house and looking forward to selling it and moving on to an older one to start all over again
You’re so talented and I’m inspired by your energy and commitment 😍
I am so excited your house is so pretty
I love those jugs! We used to have them in my grandparents house in odd little places and we would fill them with our spare change whenever we passed one
This series is so inspiring! I also live in the South near Kent and its so ridiculously expensive to own a half decent property. Even if my first house is an old shack your DIYary series is giving me major hope I can just fix it up!! :D
dark blue would look amazing in the laundry room!
your hair looks so good! and so does your house!
It’s already starting to look so good!! I can’t wait to see how you decorate it!😍😍
I was JUST wanting to watch this series, and I opened up my iPad, and low and behold the notification was there!!! Love U! Perfect timing!
wow its turning out so beautiful
I noticed almost all of your floorboards have gaps in between the planks/wood....I think they will trap dust. Do you plan to cover them or tighten the boards?
Yes definitely, the gaps are huge 😭 I’m trying to figure out the best way how to do it as I’m not 100% sure yet
+Hermione Chantal great! I'm excited for the final reveal...the house is looking beautiful. Sadly I'm not good in construction so I don't have any idea for you on how to cover those gaps 😖

There is no cover need to cover those beautiful pieces of wood. Just fill in the gaps.
Hermione Chantal my floorboards sometimes have gaps too, so i use wood filler. Not sure if it'd work on your floor though
Cynthia Alvarez Heat causes things to expand and cold causes contraction.
I am super excited to see the final reveal. Everything is coming along nicely ❤
I love what you've done.
I really love how it’s coming along👍
your content is drop dead gorgeuos and im in love, your my inspiration and i love your so much Hermione, keep up the great work, love you babes x
I"m living for these videos. Your house is coming along so nicely. I think it was a great choice getting a fixer upper. Even though im sure it's stressful sometimes, in the end you'll see how much it was worth it. Can't wait to see the finished product/
Thank you so much for the lovely comment! 😀 it’s definitely stressful but sooo worth it in the long run
Oh my god, completely made my day when i saw a new DIYary ♡
Never clicked a video so fast. Love these updates!
It's looking great! It would be my dream to do this someday x
Hermione, I've just noticed that your bangs/fringe have grown and they're to the side. Looks so so good on you.
You can get a wood filler and mix large batches to apply over your floors, sand, then clear. Do they have large paper rolls you can buy at a home improvement store to tape down so not getting messed up with foot traffic in Europe?
The house looks big and amazing:) Almost there...almost!!
You could use the boiler room as an airing cupboard so to store towels and bedding and suitcases etc
your hair colour and that style really reminds me of my mom and its oddly comforting?
I'm so excited for the finished house tour!!
Loving your videos you house is looking great. Well done xx
Yesssss amazing content!! 💜💜💜 can’t wait until the next one!
Oh my I’ve just found you and in binge watching your vids, I need to do some work to my home and you’ve inspired me!!!! What colour paint have you used on your office walls, i want to do my upstairs bedrooms in an airy grey and yours looks GORGEOUS! Your home is already so beautiful my lovely ❤️❤️❤️
I live for these videos!!! I get so excited for these reno. Videos
The house is looking great, really coming along well.
The shed/lean-to in the back garden, just a thought, but have you had it looked at, as my concern is that it could possibly have an element of aspestos. If it's stable it's not a worry so much but it can be expensive to have it removed if it's starting to break up.
Hope it's not aspestos and it is just concrete and metal.
Sorry if I've upset or panicked you, I just thought it better you have it checked out.
Keep doing what your doing, the house will love you back for years to come. X
I am so excited to see how this house turns out 😍😭💜
Love this series! I'm also a Victorian home owner. Your original floors are lovely, the only original flooring we've got on show is the front hallway and I hate it. It's been finished well, and it look nice, but good god are the boards drafty. I've had to throw down a massive Ikea hallway rug just to keep it from sucking all the heat out of the house lol! Can't wait to see the the house all finished :)
Can't wait to see ur house full renovation
I love your house and its really exciting seeing transform from the sorry state that it was before into the beautiful home you're creating
Use an electric floor sander when you get to them. And add floor stain with an electric floor buffer - do double the job in one go!
Laundry area I liked the dark blue color you flashed onto the screen
😊 I'm really loving the diy-ary series💕
Can't wait for the blue and gold room that's what I'm doing x
Loving this series! Me and my partner have just brought a house which needs lots of work. You have given me so much inspiration! What colour grey have you used on the walls? I've been searching for ages and can't find one I like. Xxxx
Im so hype for you! Sounds like hard work though :O
I lOVE these videos so much you’re house is starting to look so good I’m going to be very sad when it’s finally finished because I live for these videos lol
Awwwh thanks 😀 I don’t think I will ever finish 😋 there will always be projects to do somewhere haha
This is super interesting! Love the series.
I know it’s super personal, but it would be really interesting to know the cost of the property and the investment in the property to bring it up to spec
How do you best remove a dado rail? We need to do this in our house we are buying and any advice would be very welcome! Fab video btw!
It's looking incredible! Where are your up stairs bathroom tiles from?! They're exactly what we are looking for when we renovate our bathroom! They look completely flat?
