The stools could come in handy you could paint them if you'd like
You hang iron pots in the fireplace from the hooks.
You can totally do the reno yourself 👏👏👏 aside from specific trades....
Suggestion..., I would keep the bathroom on same side of the kitchen as will be easier and less expensive to put in.
Good luck and can't wait to see it!!!
Thanks Catarina 🙏 You are right about the bathroom especially as the toilet would need to go on the outside wall 😀💕
Very nice view from the French door. Glad you took a break and enjoyed yourself on the lake🚣♀️
It’s a beautiful view indeed Linda 🙏😀
👍👏
You must have read my mind ,I was thinking a bed sit ,for your friends ,Alot of work ,but you will do it ,gd luck ,even doing that room is a dream ,👍
Another beautiful space to make 🙏💕
Yes to time on the water! I SUP on my local lake and love the experience
E já me esqueci que esse banquinhos são muito típicos da nossa Beira e tens outros muito mais bonitos daí de Monsanto os tropeços 😊 ambos eram utilizados para as pessoas se sentarem em frente à lareira, aí dizem " em frente ao Lume" em quanto cozinhavam nas panelas de 3 pernas e muitas vezes comiam
nas noites frias de
inverno, essas correntes dentro da chaminé têm várias alturas porque era onde se colocava um "caldeiro" com água para aquecer. Felizmente ainda tive o privilégio de viver, ver e utilizar estes e muitos outros utensílios e ferramentas com os meus Avós que são daí de Monsanto 🤩
Great sharing thank you
You are amazing
Thank you Miriam. So sweet of you to say this 🙏💕
Great job on the door frame
Thank you 🙏💕
Thanks for sharing 😊
The hooks in the fireplace can hold pots to cook with as well. It’s a cute space. I love the traditional feel. And once you clean it up and paint it and add a washroom it will be quite lovely.
I think so too 😀💕
Hi Suzi.It's Raquel you did good out there in the Water in the Little boat i am Proud of you.Young Lady you did real good nice seeing you haveing fun.❤Raquel.
I love my kayak Raquel 🛶
@@dreamlifeportugal Suzi.That is So, So Cool you Like to Kayak.And didn't fall off your Kayak.Well young Lady have a Beautiful week.And thank you for Letting me know.♥️.Raquel.
Can you do it ? Yes, you can ! Gonna be beautiful ❤
Yes, I believe I can. Let’s make it happen. It will be even more beautiful than we can imagine 😉💕
Hi Suzi you can always fix the little closet area in an extra space for storage as a small pantry and extra space for guests to pick the bags .
Yes, that is an excellent idea. Sometimes I forget to be practical 😂💕
Those stools would be great for weeding in your garden
Great for so many things Anne 😀💕
Love the ideas for renovating the guest rooms. The little space next to the sink would make an ideal pantry. That lake is the best place to be in this Portuguese summer heat.
Thanks Lisa. You are right, it would be better served as a pantry, also to put the fridge/freezer. The lake is a necessity 😀💕
Such a beautiful peaceful view out of your front door.
It really is Sonya. I am blessed 🙏💕
Adorei ver a Suzy a remar no rio . Nunca me deixa de surpreender muitos parabens. Essa cor é linda tem muito bom gosto. A sua casa está a ficar fabulosa. Muito obrigada Suzy por partilhar. Adoro a Suzy e fico muito entusiasmada com seus vidios

Thanks Anna. I’ve come to find joy in seeing how my projects unfold 😀💕
@@dreamlifeportugal ❤️
Hi Suzi, Another lovely video from you. I love hearing all your plans for the future of your beautiful home. Your ideas for the little stone house are great, good for you having a go at doing the majority of it yourself.
I’m sure you will get more and more subscribers and views and achieve your goal with no problems. Take care ❤
Good morning 🎉Enjoy every moment ❤
Thank you Jean for all your lovely words of support. I’ll just keep taking those baby steps and let’s see what transpires 😀💕
Suzi aproveite você merece querida ❤
Obrigada 🙏💕
Hi,Suzi!! So sweet of you to show all your little bits of treasure that mean a lot for you.
Being already with new projects is fine. In no time we'll see other important steps onward in your property . All the best Suzi
It was my pleasure to share Luisa 🙏💕
Suzy por favos veja os Balleys eles vieram da Irlanda o senhor fez uma cozinha rustica eu fiquei maravilhada a cozinha ê fabulosa até eu adoraria ter uma cozinha como a deles
Hi, yes I know Baileys. I’ve made a beautiful kitchen already inside my house. This project will have a tiny kitchen and it will also be the living room and bedroom with separate bathroom. It’s going to be an interesting project 😀💕
Hi Suzi, the cheapest will be for loo, handbasin and shower will be in small storage room. The access and outlet closest to outside wall. The kitchen sink,needed with cupboard above and kettle and toaster below. The other "room" perfect for a dressing room. Once painted, with spotlights it will come into its own. Your vintage inherited furniture needs to see some sun light, lightly sanded, cleaned , and painted "french" country style colours will be charming.. Flowery, fresh, checks and toiles, and inviting on a budget.. Its a HUGE job to take off render...the place is small and will look smaller. Light and airy, and cut the door in half with attached hook for air. A nice fern to hang in fireplace. I would spray that old chain a matt old gold, and those cute foot stools are so useful to rest on. Lucky you. Google , french country cottage for ideas! You can still be minimilistic and not fussy, or cluttery.💐💛🐝☕Ps, a daybed in dream room a must for a friend, as she can pop in thru your lounge door, and into your bathroom.Maybe use the grey couch and nice new cheap cotton throw. Ive been using 80's sheets for table cloth and table cloths for throws over ottoman.ps, if you paint ceiling white, it will look brighter and bigger.
Lots of great ideas there Nicolette. You have a great imagination. I will indeed look up French country cottage for inspiration 🙏💕
Suzi, why I am so exited for your restoration is that I bought my Ist over 100 year old cottage, with orange tree surround and awesome dam of spring water...when i was 18 yrs old. Then later another thatch roofed house and coach house and stable. Then a cottage and then down to two garden flats! To kill the idea of previous owners, everything went white! Unless wooden floors, the builder put a layer of concrete with a terracotta powder in the mix, smooth and lovely. This in Stable end of coach house. Stable top door open for safety from snakes, for warm fresh air. Hoping for a lotto win for my last purchase!! I was scammed by a trust worthy? Investment advisor... Now in garden flat rental! Trying to grow shrubs and flowers that snails hate!!☺️ Enjoy each moment in your charming home.💐💛🐝we do too!
❤❤can’t wait for the build 🎉🎉
Me too 😀💕
So looking forward to seeing you take on your next big project..Girl power
Thanks Pamela. I look forward to what I can achieve 😀💕
❤❤
Looking forward to your new plans.
Yes, me too 😀💕
😂😂 Olá Suzi não me contive ao ver-te com as tuas arrumações, estás a ficar com hábitos portuguese😂😂, nós portugueses temos esse hábito de uma pequena arrecadação transformá-lo num grande armazém conseguimos arrumar tudo lá dentro😅. É um bonito projeto, o teu e sendo tu a fazê-lo vai ter outro valor para ti, e claro vai ser uma maratona, não desanimes com os imprevistos que vão aparecer💪👍. É que para "nos" vai ser bom vais ter muitos vídeos para ver-mos😊
All the things I have put in the old kitchen need to go somewhere else 😂
How about putting a small bathroom next to kitchen and the small room in back could be the bedroom. Then that would leave the rest for small living room and dining room.
Thank you for the idea Veronica although I feel the back room is too small for a bedroom. My plan is to have a sofa bed in the main room. Let’s see 😀💕
Think chains in fireplace were to hang cooking pots while cooking.
Yes, that makes sense 😀💕
I think you should take some internal wall down in time. The idea of a small bathroom is perfect! Perhaps get some second hand wardrobes for storage . There was a negative comment about your beliefs. Take no notice ! Xx
Yes, maybe you are right Susan. I haven’t seen that comment, maybe the person removed it 🙏💕
@@dreamlifeportugal that’s for the best ! 🥰
Suzi.My husband Passed away 15 Years ago and he would find ❤ Rocks all the time.And i find the ❤. Rocks and my Grand Children to and Great Grand Children to.When my husband Passed i found a broken ❤.And i Cryed alot and Let it out and went on with my Life with out him.But never dated or got married again.And do want to get Married to i am Praying for a great Husband for me.And know for you to ❤.Raquel.🤗.
It sounds like your husband left you a beautiful gift to share with your grand children. What a beautiful way to remember him. The men we desire are making their way towards us but we also must take steps towards being ready to receive them into our life 🙏💕
@@dreamlifeportugal Yes we do need to make away for are Husband to be in are Life's that's why I Pray for God to send me a good man that Loves God first me second and we can give our Lives to each other.And I will keep you in my Prayers and your family to.♥️. Raquel.Thank you Suzi.🌺.

Hi Suzi, I assume you will plumb in a toilet in the guest accommodation as well? You mentioned a shower and basin, small kitchenette and a walk in wardrobe.
Hi Katy, yes I just forgot to say the word toilet 🚻😂💕
...add some rose quartz. put a rose quartz in your bra when you go out in public so you can attract...
