      New here. That dresser was a bargain.unreal. looking forward to get to know you. Its great that you are appreciative of all those period features and character..One piece of advise is not to rush what to change or get rid of ..studying alot on interiors I once read that A house has wants..it will tell you. ;)...I love how roxy followed too up the stairs ..so adorable. Then showed her pleasure at the new home. I WAS SCREAMING CONVERTED WHEN YOU WERE THINKING.what stands out for me is the light from the windows. I would do anything to safeguard this!!ohh Btw..so funny that the kitchen table was on a ship.Q&A ..how far are you from local shops cafe etc/how did you pay for the house/neighbours ? Wildlife? :D..Thank you for the tour!!

    My grandmother told me that when she lived on the farm when my dad was a little boy that they had a shower in the utility for the men to wash up when they came in from the fields... so they wouldn't drag their field dirt through the house. I would put the shower head on a hose and use it to wash the dog. The shower walls will keep the mess contained when the dog shakes. 💖🌞🌵😷

  • @joeyleery2002

    I personally would change the kitchen door to open inwards into the kitchen, especially if it stays open most of the time.That will free the entrance a lot, but you will still have the option to close it. It will work, because when it is open (most of the time as you said) it will open towards the built-in fridge!

    What a truly beautiful home! Little idea for the living room just now would be to move the smaller sofa and the armchair to a different part of the house, move the remaining sofa so it sits more central on the wall, looking out of your beautiful window. Get a couple of ercol wooden type chairs, perhaps a rocking one and adorn with pretty cushions and throws for comfort, add a nice big rug too. My advice, don’t follow trends , let the building guide and tell you what is needed/ not needed. It’s a beautiful home as it is, that’s why you bought it . Have fun in your new home, best wishes!

    I think the hallway and kitchen would look gorgeous with terracotta tiles on the floor. I also think it’s always an option it stitch the dining room and the living room as the living room is so long. This is probably a weird suggestion but I’d turn the shower in the utility into a dog bath or just take it out. I really like the idea of a traditional country house as well so I’m really excited to see how you furnish your house ❤️

    Absolutely beautiful! For adding storage to the kitchen I would recommend doing more furniture pieces rather than built ins. Modern built ins will look less quality than the old wooden kitchen cabinets, and built ins in general modernize the space. Historically built ins are not really used, it’s a lot more dressers and shelves and racks.

    It's the dream house!!! So happy for you guys!
    In my humble opinion , one of the things that I see for shure working it's to open the living room and incorporate the corredor to the living. Will be lovely, and still cozy!
    And of cours go for the wall paper, especially for the wall infront of the window... and a lovely pastel color landscape frame on the bed wall...

    Since you mentioned not needing 4 bedrooms, perhaps you could knock down the north wall and make a larger master bedroom, give yourself some room to move around the King bed.

    The hole by the bathtub is good because it makes for easy access to the plumbing. I recommend meticulously measuring to place an access door there. So if there are ever issues, you can just lift her up

    You have such a beautiful home and the way you decorated it is just lovely. Since you were asking for recommendations for the renovation: Maybe you could knock out the wall between the living room and the hallway. Like open plan living. I saw Three Birds Renovations doing it and it really transformed the space. Greetings from Germany! :)

      That’s a great idea! Since the living room isn’t as big as the kitchen, it would open it up and “balance” the spaces in my opinion

    • @SaraShuffles84
      @SaraShuffles84 3 роки тому +5

    If you painted the dresser and hutch in the kitchen the same green color as the cabinets it would really tie it all together. :)

      It wouldn't match her style imo. The cottage style lives off of being a bit mixed and matched and those colors she has now mix and match beautifully. Painting them the same color and finish makes it too furniture catalogue-y.

    • @helentaylor7132

      Too matchy-matchy as my daughter would say. They "blend" beautifully already and contribute to the cottage character.

    Instead of knocking through to the garage you can do a smaller pantry door to pass through groceries and such... Maybe 4 feet x 4 feet or about that size door/ passage.... And I think any future babies/ kids would have a blast going through 😂

    That kitchen dining area just really screams family home to me. Wether thats in the plans for you or not, I just feel like it really resonates with that 'heart of the home' vibe. At first I felt a bit negative about you moving again (not that my opinion matters xD), but now that Ive seen your home, I can definitely see why. Love it!

    So happy for you and Alex. This is such a dreamy home. Love all the storage in the nooks and crannies. And the views are so lovely. I'm just wondering why you went for two spare bedrooms instead of turning one of them into your office space. Looking forward to seeing your journey of renovating :)

    For the Master bedroom, maybe play off the Wisteria outside for the interior decorating? Bring the outside inside.
