Love the kitchen idea, but did you know that you can get a fridge wrapped in any colour you want? Kate Watson Smythe had hers wrapped, albeit in a neutral colour, and it looks GREAT
I am not an ideal viewer for interior design because i LOVE a cosy feeling of mess and clutter and totally not what comes with modern minimalism nowadays lol but i feel like everything you do always comes out to be super appealing, really well-rounded and just in general pleasant for living so I'm super excited to see what you do with the place. I actually laughed out loud with your remarks about the Smeg fridge lol but if you don't get a smeg fridge at least one point in your interior design journey, I mean... It's only a matter of time. I think you should. great video as always, junior is SO!!! CUTE!!
You sound like me sitting in the garden using a sunscreen “of 50,000”. I too am very pale skinned, and luckily learned very early to stay out of the sun, unless I have sunscreen on. We have a nice yard (a little over 1/2 acre), here in the southern USA. As an added bonus for me trying to enjoy our yard, I am a chick magnet for mosquitos. I have really learned to hate late spring, summer, and early fall because of these diabolical insects!!! 😡😢
Out of curiosity, are you keeping the tiny house you renovated? It seems like such a shame, you worked so hard to renovate it and lived in it for less than a year!
Since Scotland’s winters can be quite chilly, I would recommend enclosing your shower fully with glass to keep the steam in and keep you warm while you shower. The open showers look great but just try opening the door or pulling back the curtain when you’re in your shower next time and you’ll very quickly want to close it again!
I have one thing to say about the garden, or anywhere, if you have stairs, have handrails! You've already fallen on your own stairs even though they do have handrails, but it becomes important to have them as people age, or if they have any kind of mobility problems due to arthritis, injury, etc. And they can be stylish looking. Also, cats will climb over fences and wander. There are fences that don't allow a cat to jump out and also prevent other critters from climbing in. Personally, and because you're in Scotland with dark winters, I'd go for light colors and if you enjoy it, mixing vintage or antique things with modern things - it's a fun mixture.
Skip the trendy, expensive fridge. For a pop of color (which is always fun) maybe choose colorful small appliances for the counter or a colorful small dining table/chairs since those are much easier and cheaper to replace. Both of those might look best with a more modern kitchen style.
I have to agree with you there! If I go with muted colours for the big stuff, I'll do what you say and make it pop with a colourful toaster, kettle etc.
My first thought was that you could turn whatever fridge you buy/have into a fun art project. Maybe emulate a certain artist's style. Do you like Banksy's stuff or Shepard Fairey's "OBEY" work? Make your own version of their style, but on your fridge. Or even just Jackson Pollock style with a black or white background base color with splashes of bright paint over it. No matter what, it would be the centerpiece of the room!
Despite the fact that I invest, I am saddened by my inability to evaluate each company's performance and determine whether or not this is the ideal time to purchase stocks. My monetary stockpile is being depleted by inflation. At this stage, I need accurate market trajectory data, but I'm not sure what to do.
Particularly in this weak market, there are several opportunities to generate excellent returns, but such intricate transactions can only be carried out by seasoned market professionals.
I've been thinking about going that route. I have a lot of stocks that I have maintained, but they are beginning to lose value, so I'm not sure if I should hold onto them or sell them. I feel hiring your investment coach would make it easier to restructure my portfolio.
Jenny appears to be very knowledgeable. I discovered her online profile and read through her resume, educational background, and qualifications, which were all very impressive. She is a fiduciary, which means she will act in my best interests. So I scheduled a session with her.
the jokes, man :D get me every time :D really excited for the transformation! it's cool you can use your past experience and film it from the beginning :) love the way you film and edit
Hi George! Firstly, congratulations on the beautiful home, I am very excited to see how it will turn out and will be following your journey closely. Secondly, I am very grateful for the opportunity to design your kitchen and toilet and look forward to working with you again!
I think the dark kitchens at the moment are a short-term trend and actually can show up marks more than lighter colours. I see plants in your living room too bringing the garden in. Light kitchens and plants on open dark wood shelves look amazing.
@@cmpc724 wouldn't a white kitchen then be even worse??XD I have a white old kitchen and honestly it looks constantly stainedXD perhaps wooden so you have the textures then you avoid both issues:P
It's a matter of opinion and the size of the kitchen AND the available light in the kitchen. We went with In The Navy (navy blue) by Sherwin Williams and we love it. Everyone that walks in raves over it. And it's not a trend, some kitchens have a dark walnut finish or even black. You have to balance it with the flooring and lighting.
Beautiful Video❤️ I think this pandemic has taught people the importance of multiple streams of income, unfortunately having a job doesn't mean financial security. I really appreciate the transparency and giving people a fighting chance during these troubling times.
You are right! I lost my Job during the pandemic, I lost almost everything I had including my savings. I started an investment which today is the reason I have my own business.
Cheers Brian! Yeah I've used Fiverr a few times in the past for logos/graphic design work but never anything like this. Well worth a shot if you're looking to rearrange or renovate your house!
Big yes to the secret/invisible wardrobe (my Narnia obsession is speaking)! Love all the ideas and can't wait to see what you do with the new house. I think big windows, light colours and ventilation are great starting points for an open and welcoming home. I hope the cats get a say in the final touches as well (little tunnels/towers/cat garden...)🐈⬛🪴🏠
I get that. I'm slightly more drawn to modern for this kitchen and am hoping with some warm lighting under the cabinets, I could make it cosy. Definitely don't want a cold space!
@@Patchy Scandinavian kitchens are almost always cosy year round, regardless of style. It’s more about candles in winter, the food you cook there, and having a decent dining table to sit around. The latter may not work in this size kitchen-living combo, but even so, it’s the functionality of being able to sit somewhere warm where you can sip tea and eat cookies while you talk for hours.
@@Patchy I think modern can look cosy when it's done in wood, so simple lines and geometric shapes but wood for the cabinets instead of white or black only, the warmth and the texture bring the cosy in. More pricey for good quality though instead of plain color laminate.
I enjoy your projects and videos! My humble input: Traditional kitchen would fit the environs around the house and the window views. Also, though you might think this too matchy-matchy, cabinets that match or blend with your interior doors would create a nice, harmonizing thread throughout your house. (Envision the light wood with some whitewashing in the curves of the wood panels.) Give yourself economical options for pops of color with accessories like chair pads, window treatments, counter top kitchen "stuff", seasonal flowers and plants versus expensive appliances with long life cycles (then you're stuck with the same pop of color).
Hope you all like this one! Any questions or suggestions, just leave a comment. Check out the Fiverr sellers I used in the description as well. Oh... and I forgot to mention in the video, we're putting in new flooring which is why I was wearing shoes inside...! 💃👠
Love the new house! And that garden... ❤️ I'm a big fan of pocket doors and if I had the option (I don't!) I would have them installed throughout the house. It makes such a difference to what you can do in a room because you don't have to take into account the door opening into the room. I actually like the kitchen doors you have and regret choosing a creamy white colour because it shows its age more quickly - wear and tear is harder to disguise. Personally I would keep the bedroom cupboard - many women dream of a walk in wardrobe (or closet as they say across the pond! Can't wait to go on the journey with you! 🏠🏴
this place has so much potential! definitely would stick to mid-century modern in general. and no smeg for the kitchen. aaand.. really like that Junior is helping you
I'd go for modern and minimal like your last house. You can make it cozy by adding wooden features and textures throughout the house in a nice natural colour palette. I'm excited to see how you will change the space, I'm sure it will look awesome! 🙂
I love you sensibility both with home design and with video production. Your calm demeanor definitely shines! All the styles look nice to me, but I'm especially loving the sky lights. I'm considering adding one to my home - they are such a great way to get extra light in.
❤ the new place! if you’re located near a car paint shop they should be able to spray any fridge any color you wish for a much cheaper price tag, to get the exact “POP” of color you are looking for in your kitchen.
I love the house! It's got a lot of potential. I'm not crazy about the shower glass wall. I prefer an enclosed shower, not just a single wall. When the water hits you, it ricochets off in many directions and you get droplets flying everywhere. Also, I think the Smeg appliances are adorable but way overpriced.
The appeal of the single wall is that (I think) it would be much easier to keep clean? Enclosed showers have so many little nooks and crannies that you have to get into which is why I was keen for this layout. And likewise on the Smeg front! Might just get a toaster or kettle from them instead of a big ole fridge.
@@Patchy we did something like that and within weeks did full enclosure. Water gets everywhere... maybe I splash water like a duck but it annoyed us to no end. We rented the plc as air bnb later and I'm glad we didn't keep the single pane set up. It looked lovely but was highly impractical and made for much more daily cleaning. I loved your tiny house videos and can't wait to see what you ll do with this one. I'm in Glasgow so it ll super interesting to see how you get on with builders and budgets. I'm looking for a house so will no doubt steal some of your ideas and learn from your experiences. Love the cats!!
George Dunnett, you need to look into non-tile shower wall materials! There is a class of man-materials called Solid Surface. These are composite materials that have the same coloring and materials through-and-through. The advantage they have is they will look good longer than you do, they may outlive you, and they are repairable in place if they ever get scratched or chipped. Here in the States brand names are Corian and Swanstone. My shower is a newer brand, called Transolid and we had our tub removed in 2018 and replaced with a shower. It is waterproof, of course, but also does not mold or mildew. No grout lines. I have caulking in the joints where the walls meet and this is covered with Transolid cove molding. The only caulk visible is between the bottom of the wall and the top of the shower pan. I have to scrub my shower pan every month or so because it has grooves for traction and water collected there can cause a slime mold to grow, but I have NEVER washed the walls. Easy peasy. It is more expensive up front, but will last, looking good, waterproof, for my lifetime. If your home is not super insulated and tight, an open shower can be drafty. A heavy canvas shower curtain can go in the washing machine regularly. Then no glass to clean, either.
@@Patchy we have a glass shower. It is a pain in the butt to keep clean. I'd recommend at least a textured glass wall, where dried water and streaks aren't noticeable plus you get some extra privacy.
I put heated floor panel in my bathroom renovation. Love it in winter. It wasn't expensive. The only problem was cracked ceramic tile in unheated threshold between heated and cold laundry area. It should have had a transition piece.
Wow fabulous 🤩 go light No Smeg fridge, and dark style cabinet on kitchen doors x looking forward to it all coming together .thank you to you and your brother for taking us with you x
Your videos are some of my favorites. There's a lovely mix of informative, amusing and wholesome. I'm excited to see what you guys do with your new home!
Really? Not too many lovely or wonderful architectural features like original fireplaces or bay windows or cornicing. Look like pretty standard boring square rooms with not so much natural light at the moment.
I agree Rebecca. I wouldn't spend a lot of money on this house that already has perfectly fine updates. Better to make this kind of renovation in a home in really bad shape. But I'm older and understand the value of money. Don't fix it if it isn't broken.
I think Scotland is much the same as the Netherlands when it comes to weather, and those open showers require you to heat the entire bathroom in winter. Just an fyi. With current gas prices.
That’s his real home, likely still with a mortgage, I imagine this is a new first (test) project and venture for George and his brother looking to becoming developers, they have sponsorship so good advertising for those companies and they’ll have access to professional advice.
@@Patchy it's probably best to stay in the tiny house while you renovate the new one, because you will otherwise have to deal with lots of disruptions, noise, living without a kitchen/bathroom for a while, mess, it wouldn't be fun...
If you want a pop of colour you could get your fridge wrapped. Apparently advertising companies that do vehicles etc can do this and it doesn’t destroy your appliances.
I would go light and traditional for the kitchen. I like your plans for the bedrooms and absolutely love the plans for the garden. Looking forward to watching this renovation. 😊
What a beautiful location. I can’t wait to see the results of your renovations. The name brand refrigerator isn’t necessary, just a good quality one is. I’m very happy for you!
I can not wait to watch the reno on this one! It is going to be great! I like a lighter colored kitchen. I think it makes the space look larger. Your garden area will be so beautiful and with the sound of the water! I am jealous!
I look forward to the renovation videos and congrats with the house. But I have to say that it seems very expensive for that tiny house. And I think you have to be careful how much money you put into it, because it has it natural barrier to how much you can sell it for, because it will be a very tiny amount of people who even wants a home like this one. It will be singles below 40 with a very high income..
Love the space, perfect for you and your brother! You've got some great ideas, will wait to see what you both ultimately chose. If it were me, I would have light colors on the walls in the kitchen and living room areas, with splashes of slightly darker colors (window trims, etc.) for contrast. Looking forward to seeing the finished product! 🍁
no smeg, they're overrated and like you said the large lettering across them is a bit obnoxious. there is pretty easy peel and stick vinyl that you can get that you can install on any fridge if you want to go the colourful route and you can switch it up to any colour you want any time you want.
I’m happy to see the roof line in the kitchen rendering is in tact. Keeps costs down by keeping the original roof and adding skylights/roof windows for added light. Brilliant idea. Love the new rendering fir kitchen/family room.
I'm very excited to see how this progresses. I think you made the right call about the smeg fridge - I feel like people buy Smeg fridges for the wrong reasons. £2k+ is a big price tag to pay just for a pop of colour when another fridge half the price would do just as good a job at refrigerating things. What's your plans for your current place, would you be renting that out once this house is completed?
New subscriber here. Love your design aesthetic, the clean and modern look. Looking forward to seeing the garden area develop as well. Enjoying catching up on your video series, you have a great sense of humor. Wishing you health and happiness with this endeavor!
Absolutely in love with the garden already! That view is stunning!! The designers did such an amazing job aswell. Excited to see the progress of this house 🥰🫶🏼
I definitely prefer the more traditional looking kitchen - I just think it's more timeless. Also Scotland and that landscape just screams cottagecore (however with that power line in the backyard, I thought a western vibe could be super cool) Regardless of what you do, I think it's gonna look so good!! I love a good renovation series
Good points! It will be pretty traditional/cottagey throughout, especially with sash and case windows and things like that, but I'm keen to do something a bit different with the kitchen just to make things interesting. Thank you! :)
no smeg,especially in a phallic house! it also looks to small you can never have a small fridge, good fridges save you money, try to get a big one as possible, nooo breakfast bar thats old fashion unless you have a maid-- plates go directly onto dinning room table, you can always put in a chopping bench later, which can dub as something else- chopping bench moveable, go dark, kitchen white ,doesnt work,anywho
I think if you are seeking more light in your living space, going with lighter cabinets and dark accents will, I think, pay off for a Scottish living space. And coming from Scotland, light is everything in these short winter days. Love your content and excited for your new adventure!
I know it's been a year, but for anyone looking to buy appliances: don't go for looks or candy colors or anything. Go for performance. Research brands in Consumer Reports. Appliances aren't what they used to be, and you don't want to have to replace them every few years.
Keep the closet...you will regret losing the storage as all that could be kept in it will have to be spread out in the bedroom, losing that minimalistic look. Think you got a good house for the price!!!
White kitchen will not only not go out of fashion, but make the room bigger & lighter, led lights are cool,large America fridges are great, glass splashbacks look good
For the refrigerator, you could always get a white one (of any brand) and paint it whatever color you want to give the room that pop of color you desire. My only argument about the trend of modern living spaces is that at one point or another it will look dated anyway, so do what you want, just make sure there is a way to work storage into the bedrooms and kitchen.
Wow, congratulations, you must be pretty excited about all this. Really looking forward to this new direction for you. Also, gotta love Junior, what a charmer!
Hope ya don't mind a comment from a guy in the US. If you do, just disregard the following comment(s). First, I really think you'll regret going with darker colours. I do not like homes that look like "surgery rooms" painted all white, either. But, things can always be added to give a "splash" of colour. NO on the smeg ice box, Colours on the counter(s) like toaster, blender, air fryer, etc., would do. Also, and don't know how you feel about this, but, plants. Hanging plants, potted floor plants. They add "more" than colour, they add "life". (in my opinion) Well, pushed ideas on ya that ya probably didn't expect and/or want, so I'll close this. For now!!! Enjoy the journey. I'll be watching ya. Oh yeah, the cat. Now SHE'S a splash of colour!!!
I love the windows that would be facing SE for more natural light. I would keep as much of your garden with grass in contrast with the concrete to keep it more traditional! I absolutely love the bathroom concept! Keep in mind, you will want to keep a lot of storage in the bedrooms! I’m sure it will turn out amazing!
SPF 50,000. Very popular product in Scotland. ❤ I am from Montana. I would imagine sunlight is as important in Scotland. I would design a cross between a home and a green house, or conservatory, as they are called in England.
Wonderful stuff! Very exciting to see the inclusion of VELUX roof windows in your designs. There’s a showroom in Scotland if you need any help in selecting the right ones 🤞
The best thing we did when we remodeled our kitchen was put in a skylight. Our is Velux, 2 ft x 4 ft, and can open. Then, when the kitchen gets too hot (or, heaven forbid, smoky) we can open the roof window and let out the heat and smoke. It is the light that I notice every day, though. Even with it on the north side of the house, it makes the kitchen feel so much bigger and more inviting. Spring for the electric opener, though. We have to hide the crank to reach the window to open it behind our couch!
I love reno videos but I really like the tone of your narrative, it is very relaxing. I will be watching. Can't wait to see the finished product. Thanks.
Love love this vid! The creek makes me envious! Play that up for certain! Here are my suggestions: 1. Same flooring throughout the space in a warm mid tone. Unites & enlarges. Use rugs to define spaces. 2.let how you want to feel in each space define your design. Start with color & how a color makes you feel & build a palette around that. Use upholstery/drapery fabric samples to help. Use the most neutral of your palette for walls. 3. Define the focal points of your room. In your living area you definitely want to draw attention to your magnificent outdoor area. 4. Plant for year round color & interest. For Scotland I don’t know what that is … but give yourself color & interest year round. 5. Personal preference: incorporate nod to the age of the house. How inspiring to live in a building that possibly has stood 400 yrs and provided a home for countless people!
I always prefer real solid wood fronts on kitchen cabinets. I think colors, shapes and textures can go out of style, but wood always looks nice and modern. Simple solid wood cabinets with stainless steel accents like handles looked modern 100 years ago and will still look modern 100 years from now. Same goes for for every other furniture like bedframes, wardrobes, chairs, etc.
I chose a high end dark kitchen for our new appartment (rental, because in Germany we are effin mental and either have to buy ourselves our own kitchens for rentals or move with our old ones ´)...but I only did that since everything is open, flooded with light, light wooden floors, *everything the space you showed is not*, despite imagined VELUX windos. I would always opt for light surfaces if the surrounding is not giving much light to it. FOr SMEG or no SMEG: if you like the design, there is no way around it, if you want color for a stand alone fridge, an inexpensive way to give color to any color of fridge is this vinyl like foil from amazon that you can use on it. We changed a white dishwasher front into a grey one with that.
Modern is ugly, poor taste materialism, cheap and ruined. Zubir, yuk, why is he popularizing cheap junk furniture? Sigh. I sometimes wonder if this is all ads/trendsetting (in the wrong direction) nvm. Only natural materials, stone, bricks, wood or reclaimed wood with antique, vintage and handcrafted furniture is beautiful and worthy. Scenic paintings, homemade curtains, made with love and helps grow your aura (health), true physics. Fiber sellers no thank you. Real men are craftsmen, they use their hands to build and create works of art, wisely choosing natural, traditional materials, and they plant and design permaculture gardens with chickens, a rooster, cows and horses and lovingly care for them and their family. Real men also sail on boats and do other man things. That have nothing to do w/purchasing ready made mass produced corp. junk. Who is putting you up to this unfortunate trendsetting? that is bad for humankind and nature. We are losing real men and everything that matters. Please don't hire cheap people, fake men to install ugly made in china or ikea slave labor (low wage) chemical mass produced (corporate/nwo) furniture that is also bad for our aura and the environment. Tears. Such a beautiful traditional village only real things please. Millions or billions of humans supporting corp. junk, including corp. junk food, is a tragic malpractice and a great loss of tradition, health and sovereignty.
ALL interesting but be sure to have a quilt here or there in the decor. Yep, quilts can be traditional or modern but always a welcome on a chill day. I am Sure a woman in Scotland or a shop there can make a quilt that is suitable for use (cotton or wool batting). Yep, quilts will be wonderful…hahah ok, I am a simple quilter but I would not steer you wrong.
Think light kitchen would help make the space feel lighter. Especially if it’s smaller space. But looks like a lovely property!! ❤ the little creek so cool

Interesting use of the expression feral. That’s a negative expression where I am from.
You could have an island on wheels that joins up to or turns 90° from the L shape of the kitchen, to zone it and keep the functionality
The bathroom looked larger than perhaps it needs to be. Can it be redesigned and add more room to the kitchen ?
Love the kitchen idea, but did you know that you can get a fridge wrapped in any colour you want? Kate Watson Smythe had hers wrapped, albeit in a neutral colour, and it looks GREAT

Galanz is a refrigerator brand that has pops of color at a quarter of the price of Smeg. Cute house with great ideas.

“I did not kill an angular man!” Hahahahahaha😂
May I suggest a cat door to the garden for the cat?
Light kitchen. Absolutely. Area is much too dark and depressing. Lighten up.
What about your cute tiny house?
Out of curiosity, are you keeping the tiny house you renovated? It seems like such a shame, you worked so hard to renovate it and lived in it for less than a year!
Dark kitchen cabinets, white marble countertops, modern.
Where in Scotland is the home located?
Since Scotland’s winters can be quite chilly, I would recommend enclosing your shower fully with glass to keep the steam in and keep you warm while you shower. The open showers look great but just try opening the door or pulling back the curtain when you’re in your shower next time and you’ll very quickly want to close it again!
Good point. Hope he sees this one!
I agree. So glad I went with a shower enclosure. In winter you can certainly feel the chill when that door opens. 🥶
Scotland is more than quite chilly in the winter! Absolutely freezing 🥶 right into April..
I live in Scotland, have a open shower, not cold atall!
The view from the back garden is worth the money alone. Looking forward to seeing this progress.
We're really pleased with it! And I hope I can deliver a good series on it.
@@Patchy Have you considered a (partial) permaculture approach for the garden?
Well done. Is that the Pentland Hills?
@@oseanavuso4108 Get a firepit in that garden - doesnt need to be a summer only garden
I'm from Kinross and the hill looks a lot like Benarty south of Loch Leven.
I have one thing to say about the garden, or anywhere, if you have stairs, have handrails! You've already fallen on your own stairs even though they do have handrails, but it becomes important to have them as people age, or if they have any kind of mobility problems due to arthritis, injury, etc. And they can be stylish looking. Also, cats will climb over fences and wander. There are fences that don't allow a cat to jump out and also prevent other critters from climbing in.
Personally, and because you're in Scotland with dark winters, I'd go for light colors and if you enjoy it, mixing vintage or antique things with modern things - it's a fun mixture.
No way that I'm using a stairs with no handrail and I'm 54. Just can't do it.
Skip the trendy, expensive fridge. For a pop of color (which is always fun) maybe choose colorful small appliances for the counter or a colorful small dining table/chairs since those are much easier and cheaper to replace. Both of those might look best with a more modern kitchen style.
I have to agree with you there! If I go with muted colours for the big stuff, I'll do what you say and make it pop with a colourful toaster, kettle etc.
@@Patchy then when you get bored of a colour it's cheaper to switch out a toaster than a Smeg 😉. Best of luck with it. Junior is getting big 😻
This is how I do most rooms - everything neutral, then I can just swap out cushions and a throw.
I would prefer to spend money on hiding a fridge versus featuring one :)
My first thought was that you could turn whatever fridge you buy/have into a fun art project. Maybe emulate a certain artist's style. Do you like Banksy's stuff or Shepard Fairey's "OBEY" work? Make your own version of their style, but on your fridge. Or even just Jackson Pollock style with a black or white background base color with splashes of bright paint over it. No matter what, it would be the centerpiece of the room!

The wry humor just makes my heart happy. So glad to learn you did not "kill an angular man."
Your cat is a treasure. Congrats on the house!
I am so glad I got her! And thank you!
She's so cute it's barely manageable. I don't know how he can get any work done with her around!
Hi George! Firstly, congratulations on the beautiful home, I am very excited to see how it will turn out and will be following your journey closely. Secondly, I am very grateful for the opportunity to design your kitchen and toilet and look forward to working with you again!
You’re talented, good luck
Thank you so much Zubair! You did an amazing job. Hopefully this video gets you a few more (well deserved) clients. :)
@@Patchy Where can I access this 3d rendering providers website?
I would definitely use you when I’m re-designing my small kitchen next year Zubair! I really like your style/vision. Just saving up for it now… 😂
Thank you all ..
I think the dark kitchens at the moment are a short-term trend and actually can show up marks more than lighter colours. I see plants in your living room too bringing the garden in. Light kitchens and plants on open dark wood shelves look amazing.
@@cmpc724 wouldn't a white kitchen then be even worse??XD I have a white old kitchen and honestly it looks constantly stainedXD perhaps wooden so you have the textures then you avoid both issues:P
@@cmpc724 so neither is brilliant perfect XD well honestly i did grow up in a house with a wooden kitchen that did work really well :)
It's a matter of opinion and the size of the kitchen AND the available light in the kitchen. We went with In The Navy (navy blue) by Sherwin Williams and we love it. Everyone that walks in raves over it. And it's not a trend, some kitchens have a dark walnut finish or even black. You have to balance it with the flooring and lighting.
No black kitchens
@@somewherestuckinl.a.3239 can you put up some mirrors opposite the windows to create more light?
Junior is a content machine! Love the new house, hope the remodel goes well
She certainly is. Getting her was the best decision I've made all year! :)
Beautiful Video❤️ I think this pandemic has taught people the importance of multiple streams of income, unfortunately having a job doesn't mean financial security. I really appreciate the transparency and giving people a fighting chance during these troubling times.
Diversification of Investments is really a great idea for multiple streams of income.
You are right! I lost my Job during the pandemic, I lost almost everything I had including my savings. I started an investment which today is the reason I have my own business.
When it comes to the kitchen, it has to be properly ventilated and light because you want it to be properly lit at all times of the day.
Totally agree :)
This is such a cool idea. I had no idea it was that easy to hire designers. Thanks so much for making the vid!
Cheers Brian! Yeah I've used Fiverr a few times in the past for logos/graphic design work but never anything like this. Well worth a shot if you're looking to rearrange or renovate your house!
Harry clawing their way out the door is me when I’m having a nightmare but can’t seem to escape.
😅
where is Harry? not in the video again after him freaking at the door... hope he didn't get loose & try to find his way home...
Poor Harry!
Big yes to the secret/invisible wardrobe (my Narnia obsession is speaking)! Love all the ideas and can't wait to see what you do with the new house. I think big windows, light colours and ventilation are great starting points for an open and welcoming home. I hope the cats get a say in the final touches as well (little tunnels/towers/cat garden...)🐈⬛🪴🏠
For the kitchen I'd say go traditional but open. I love making my apartment feel cozy all year, and modern styles don't always convey that
I get that. I'm slightly more drawn to modern for this kitchen and am hoping with some warm lighting under the cabinets, I could make it cosy. Definitely don't want a cold space!
@@Patchy Scandinavian kitchens are almost always cosy year round, regardless of style. It’s more about candles in winter, the food you cook there, and having a decent dining table to sit around. The latter may not work in this size kitchen-living combo, but even so, it’s the functionality of being able to sit somewhere warm where you can sip tea and eat cookies while you talk for hours.
@@Patchy I think modern can look cosy when it's done in wood, so simple lines and geometric shapes but wood for the cabinets instead of white or black only, the warmth and the texture bring the cosy in. More pricey for good quality though instead of plain color laminate.
I enjoy your projects and videos! My humble input: Traditional kitchen would fit the environs around the house and the window views. Also, though you might think this too matchy-matchy, cabinets that match or blend with your interior doors would create a nice, harmonizing thread throughout your house. (Envision the light wood with some whitewashing in the curves of the wood panels.) Give yourself economical options for pops of color with accessories like chair pads, window treatments, counter top kitchen "stuff", seasonal flowers and plants versus expensive appliances with long life cycles (then you're stuck with the same pop of color).
No. Go contemporary minimalism
I came here because apparently I'm a sucker for a cat in a thumbnail. Anyone else? 😆
Hope you all like this one! Any questions or suggestions, just leave a comment. Check out the Fiverr sellers I used in the description as well.
Oh... and I forgot to mention in the video, we're putting in new flooring which is why I was wearing shoes inside...! 💃👠
There are a lot of tutorials of making a regular refrigerator into a Faux Smeg. It might make an interesting video too.
Don’t go for the smeg they are overpriced and overdone. On the other side women in their 30s really like them so might be a selling point
I love your Cat!
Love the new house! And that garden... ❤️ I'm a big fan of pocket doors and if I had the option (I don't!) I would have them installed throughout the house. It makes such a difference to what you can do in a room because you don't have to take into account the door opening into the room. I actually like the kitchen doors you have and regret choosing a creamy white colour because it shows its age more quickly - wear and tear is harder to disguise. Personally I would keep the bedroom cupboard - many women dream of a walk in wardrobe (or closet as they say across the pond! Can't wait to go on the journey with you! 🏠🏴
Carpet at the entrance. Not USA lol
this place has so much potential! definitely would stick to mid-century modern in general. and no smeg for the kitchen. aaand.. really like that Junior is helping you
Thanks Stacy! And I'll have a look for some ideas in that style. Noted on the Smeg, and yes she is being very helpful with it all.
Orange and grey mid-century modern with lots of light!
I'd go for modern and minimal like your last house. You can make it cozy by adding wooden features and textures throughout the house in a nice natural colour palette. I'm excited to see how you will change the space, I'm sure it will look awesome! 🙂
I love you sensibility both with home design and with video production. Your calm demeanor definitely shines! All the styles look nice to me, but I'm especially loving the sky lights. I'm considering adding one to my home - they are such a great way to get extra light in.
If they don't leak 😢.
❤ the new place! if you’re located near a car paint shop they should be able to spray any fridge any color you wish for a much cheaper price tag, to get the exact “POP” of color you are looking for in your kitchen.
Great idea. 😃 Yes, the Smeg fridges are very expensive and as with all appliances, it can be pot luck as to how long they last. 🤷
Hi George! Don’t go for super expensive “pops of colour” - use art instead! More affordable, easy to change and comes in all kinds of fun colours 😊
I love the house! It's got a lot of potential. I'm not crazy about the shower glass wall. I prefer an enclosed shower, not just a single wall. When the water hits you, it ricochets off in many directions and you get droplets flying everywhere. Also, I think the Smeg appliances are adorable but way overpriced.
The appeal of the single wall is that (I think) it would be much easier to keep clean? Enclosed showers have so many little nooks and crannies that you have to get into which is why I was keen for this layout. And likewise on the Smeg front! Might just get a toaster or kettle from them instead of a big ole fridge.
@@Patchy we did something like that and within weeks did full enclosure. Water gets everywhere... maybe I splash water like a duck but it annoyed us to no end. We rented the plc as air bnb later and I'm glad we didn't keep the single pane set up. It looked lovely but was highly impractical and made for much more daily cleaning. I loved your tiny house videos and can't wait to see what you ll do with this one. I'm in Glasgow so it ll super interesting to see how you get on with builders and budgets. I'm looking for a house so will no doubt steal some of your ideas and learn from your experiences. Love the cats!!
George Dunnett, you need to look into non-tile shower wall materials! There is a class of man-materials called Solid Surface. These are composite materials that have the same coloring and materials through-and-through. The advantage they have is they will look good longer than you do, they may outlive you, and they are repairable in place if they ever get scratched or chipped. Here in the States brand names are Corian and Swanstone. My shower is a newer brand, called Transolid and we had our tub removed in 2018 and replaced with a shower. It is waterproof, of course, but also does not mold or mildew. No grout lines. I have caulking in the joints where the walls meet and this is covered with Transolid cove molding. The only caulk visible is between the bottom of the wall and the top of the shower pan. I have to scrub my shower pan every month or so because it has grooves for traction and water collected there can cause a slime mold to grow, but I have NEVER washed the walls. Easy peasy. It is more expensive up front, but will last, looking good, waterproof, for my lifetime.
If your home is not super insulated and tight, an open shower can be drafty. A heavy canvas shower curtain can go in the washing machine regularly. Then no glass to clean, either.
@@Patchy we have a glass shower. It is a pain in the butt to keep clean. I'd recommend at least a textured glass wall, where dried water and streaks aren't noticeable plus you get some extra privacy.
@@Patchy An open shower gets COLD with nothing to hold the warmth.
I just want to say thanks for the Junior content. Also, looking forward to see how all this comes to fruition. 😁👍🏻
Haha I'm trying to find ways to fit her into every video. She does make it quite easy. And thank you! :)
I put heated floor panel in my bathroom renovation. Love it in winter. It wasn't expensive. The only problem was cracked ceramic tile in unheated threshold between heated and cold laundry area. It should have had a transition piece.
Wow fabulous 🤩 go light No Smeg fridge, and dark style cabinet on kitchen doors x looking forward to it all coming together .thank you to you and your brother for taking us with you x
Thank you! And noted! :)
I enjoy your calm demeanor and your sense of humor. It’s really relaxing to watch your videos.
Clean lines, light colors, modern, fresh and updated!
The garden is going to be killer!
You have the world's cutest cat!
:-)
Your videos are some of my favorites. There's a lovely mix of informative, amusing and wholesome. I'm excited to see what you guys do with your new home!
SPF 50,000?? Here in Central Florida you would need SPF 1.6 million.
Love the view of the hills from your garden. Light kitchen all the way (no SMEG).
Haha there are several places around the globe that are no gos for pasty complexion. I'm delighted with the view and noted on the kitchen front!
Traditional light kitchen you can not go wrong with. Never goes out in style.
This house is absolutely stunning as-is. I'm looking forward to seeing your vision come to life!
Really? Not too many lovely or wonderful architectural features like original fireplaces or bay windows or cornicing. Look like pretty standard boring square rooms with not so much natural light at the moment.
I agree Rebecca. I wouldn't spend a lot of money on this house that already has perfectly fine updates. Better to make this kind of renovation in a home in really bad shape. But I'm older and understand the value of money. Don't fix it if it isn't broken.
I think Scotland is much the same as the Netherlands when it comes to weather, and those open showers require you to heat the entire bathroom in winter. Just an fyi. With current gas prices.
I agree! Plus, it made me sad that there’s no bathtub. A good long soak is nice on a cold day.
Does this mean you’re giving up the other house?
That’s his real home, likely still with a mortgage, I imagine this is a new first (test) project and venture for George and his brother looking to becoming developers, they have sponsorship so good advertising for those companies and they’ll have access to professional advice.
I intend to hold onto the tiny house and maybe rent it out whilst I stay in/do this one up.
@@Patchy it's probably best to stay in the tiny house while you renovate the new one, because you will otherwise have to deal with lots of disruptions, noise, living without a kitchen/bathroom for a while, mess, it wouldn't be fun...
If you want a pop of colour you could get your fridge wrapped. Apparently advertising companies that do vehicles etc can do this and it doesn’t destroy your appliances.
what a gorgeous view!! can't wait to see what you both do with this space :)
I would go light and traditional for the kitchen. I like your plans for the bedrooms and absolutely love the plans for the garden. Looking forward to watching this renovation. 😊
What a beautiful location. I can’t wait to see the results of your renovations. The name brand refrigerator isn’t necessary, just a good quality one is. I’m very happy for you!
Love this! Your dry humor cracks me up… I’m grateful for the Fiverr guys info. Looking forward to your progress. -Jules in Massachusetts 🏡
I can not wait to watch the reno on this one! It is going to be great! I like a lighter colored kitchen. I think it makes the space look larger. Your garden area will be so beautiful and with the sound of the water! I am jealous!
I look forward to the renovation videos and congrats with the house. But I have to say that it seems very expensive for that tiny house. And I think you have to be careful how much money you put into it, because it has it natural barrier to how much you can sell it for, because it will be a very tiny amount of people who even wants a home like this one. It will be singles below 40 with a very high income..
@Nicky L It makes no difference at all. Still a very small pool of potential customers.
I wouldn't burgle you, but I might pet Junior.
A bargain, love the 3 d pictures , traditional kitchen for me
Noted!
Love "I didn't kill a very angular man" !
Don't want the FBI coming after me.
Love the space, perfect for you and your brother! You've got some great ideas, will wait to see what you both ultimately chose. If it were me, I would have light colors on the walls in the kitchen and living room areas, with splashes of slightly darker colors (window trims, etc.) for contrast. Looking forward to seeing the finished product! 🍁
no smeg, they're overrated and like you said the large lettering across them is a bit obnoxious. there is pretty easy peel and stick vinyl that you can get that you can install on any fridge if you want to go the colourful route and you can switch it up to any colour you want any time you want.
I’m happy to see the roof line in the kitchen rendering is in tact. Keeps costs down by keeping the original roof and adding skylights/roof windows for added light. Brilliant idea. Love the new rendering fir kitchen/family room.
I'm very excited to see how this progresses. I think you made the right call about the smeg fridge - I feel like people buy Smeg fridges for the wrong reasons. £2k+ is a big price tag to pay just for a pop of colour when another fridge half the price would do just as good a job at refrigerating things. What's your plans for your current place, would you be renting that out once this house is completed?
New subscriber here. Love your design aesthetic, the clean and modern look. Looking forward to seeing the garden area develop as well. Enjoying catching up on your video series, you have a great sense of humor. Wishing you health and happiness with this endeavor!
Absolutely in love with the garden already! That view is stunning!! The designers did such an amazing job aswell. Excited to see the progress of this house 🥰🫶🏼
I definitely prefer the more traditional looking kitchen - I just think it's more timeless. Also Scotland and that landscape just screams cottagecore (however with that power line in the backyard, I thought a western vibe could be super cool) Regardless of what you do, I think it's gonna look so good!! I love a good renovation series
Good points! It will be pretty traditional/cottagey throughout, especially with sash and case windows and things like that, but I'm keen to do something a bit different with the kitchen just to make things interesting. Thank you! :)
Congratulations on your new home! Exciting. No SMEG or retro. Light bright kitchen. Looking forward to watching the house grow into your home.
Suggestion: Whatever refrigerator you get, have SMEG applied where a real SMEG fridge would be! 😂
Think you done pretty well for your money,love the garden space
Yeah we're happy with it, and likewise, excited about having a garden this time round.
How lovely is this house. I hope you get everything done for you. Maybe, I will live in Scotland too. I would love to. Best wishes to you both. x
You had me at the stream! Beautiful piece of land - I can’t wait to see what you do with the garden.
no smeg,especially in a phallic house! it also looks to small you can never have a small fridge, good fridges save you money, try to get a big one as possible, nooo breakfast bar thats old fashion unless you have a maid-- plates go directly onto dinning room table, you can always put in a chopping bench later, which can dub as something else- chopping bench moveable, go dark, kitchen white ,doesnt work,anywho
I think if you are seeking more light in your living space, going with lighter cabinets and dark accents will, I think, pay off for a Scottish living space. And coming from Scotland, light is everything in these short winter days. Love your content and excited for your new adventure!
I know it's been a year, but for anyone looking to buy appliances: don't go for looks or candy colors or anything. Go for performance. Research brands in Consumer Reports. Appliances aren't what they used to be, and you don't want to have to replace them every few years.
Congratulations on the move! Also, what a beautifully grand house.
Thanks!
Keep the closet...you will regret losing the storage as all that could be kept in it will have to be spread out in the bedroom, losing that minimalistic look. Think you got a good house for the price!!!
Hmm... I'll consider it because you've made a good point ha!
White kitchen will not only not go out of fashion, but make the room bigger & lighter, led lights are cool,large America fridges are great, glass splashbacks look good
For the refrigerator, you could always get a white one (of any brand) and paint it whatever color you want to give the room that pop of color you desire. My only argument about the trend of modern living spaces is that at one point or another it will look dated anyway, so do what you want, just make sure there is a way to work storage into the bedrooms and kitchen.
Another great video! Thank you, and hi to Junior. P.S. I like the open, bright bathroom -- plus it's safer that way. Bathrooms can be perilous 😟
Wow, congratulations, you must be pretty excited about all this. Really looking forward to this new direction for you. Also, gotta love Junior, what a charmer!
Hope ya don't mind a comment from a guy in the US. If you do, just disregard the following comment(s). First, I really think you'll regret going with darker colours. I do not like homes that look like "surgery rooms" painted all white, either. But, things can always be added to give a "splash" of colour. NO on the smeg ice box, Colours on the counter(s) like toaster, blender, air fryer, etc., would do. Also, and don't know how you feel about this, but, plants. Hanging plants, potted floor plants. They add "more" than colour, they add "life". (in my opinion) Well, pushed ideas on ya that ya probably didn't expect and/or want, so I'll close this. For now!!! Enjoy the journey. I'll be watching ya. Oh yeah, the cat. Now SHE'S a splash of colour!!!
I love the windows that would be facing SE for more natural light. I would keep as much of your garden with grass in contrast with the concrete to keep it more traditional! I absolutely love the bathroom concept! Keep in mind, you will want to keep a lot of storage in the bedrooms! I’m sure it will turn out amazing!
SPF 50,000. Very popular product in Scotland. ❤
I am from Montana. I would imagine sunlight is as important in Scotland. I would design a cross between a home and a green house, or conservatory, as they are called in England.
Wonderful stuff! Very exciting to see the inclusion of VELUX roof windows in your designs. There’s a showroom in Scotland if you need any help in selecting the right ones 🤞
The best thing we did when we remodeled our kitchen was put in a skylight. Our is Velux, 2 ft x 4 ft, and can open. Then, when the kitchen gets too hot (or, heaven forbid, smoky) we can open the roof window and let out the heat and smoke. It is the light that I notice every day, though. Even with it on the north side of the house, it makes the kitchen feel so much bigger and more inviting. Spring for the electric opener, though. We have to hide the crank to reach the window to open it behind our couch!
I love reno videos but I really like the tone of your narrative, it is very relaxing. I will be watching. Can't wait to see the finished product. Thanks.
No Smeg, I would go for light kitchen 😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻
The people appear to have spoken... no Smeg!
Love love this vid! The creek makes me envious! Play that up for certain! Here are my suggestions: 1. Same flooring throughout the space in a warm mid tone. Unites & enlarges. Use rugs to define spaces. 2.let how you want to feel in each space define your design. Start with color & how a color makes you feel & build a palette around that. Use upholstery/drapery fabric samples to help. Use the most neutral of your palette for walls. 3. Define the focal points of your room. In your living area you definitely want to draw attention to your magnificent outdoor area. 4. Plant for year round color & interest. For Scotland I don’t know what that is … but give yourself color & interest year round. 5. Personal preference: incorporate nod to the age of the house. How inspiring to live in a building that possibly has stood 400 yrs and provided a home for countless people!
I always prefer real solid wood fronts on kitchen cabinets. I think colors, shapes and textures can go out of style, but wood always looks nice and modern. Simple solid wood cabinets with stainless steel accents like handles looked modern 100 years ago and will still look modern 100 years from now. Same goes for for every other furniture like bedframes, wardrobes, chairs, etc.
I’m 28 and already want to retire to somewhere like here. Congratulations to you and your brother 🎉
I chose a high end dark kitchen for our new appartment (rental, because in Germany we are effin mental and either have to buy ourselves our own kitchens for rentals or move with our old ones ´)...but I only did that since everything is open, flooded with light, light wooden floors, *everything the space you showed is not*, despite imagined VELUX windos. I would always opt for light surfaces if the surrounding is not giving much light to it.
FOr SMEG or no SMEG: if you like the design, there is no way around it, if you want color for a stand alone fridge, an inexpensive way to give color to any color of fridge is this vinyl like foil from amazon that you can use on it. We changed a white dishwasher front into a grey one with that.
Definitely light and modern for the kitchen! Can’t wait to watch your home transform.
Modern is ugly, poor taste materialism, cheap and ruined. Zubir, yuk, why is he popularizing cheap junk furniture? Sigh. I sometimes wonder if this is all ads/trendsetting (in the wrong direction) nvm.
Only natural materials, stone, bricks, wood or reclaimed wood with antique, vintage and handcrafted furniture is beautiful and worthy. Scenic paintings, homemade curtains, made with love and helps grow your aura (health), true physics.
Fiber sellers no thank you. Real men are craftsmen, they use their hands to build and create works of art, wisely choosing natural, traditional materials, and they plant and design permaculture gardens with chickens, a rooster, cows and horses and lovingly care for them and their family.
Real men also sail on boats and do other man things. That have nothing to do w/purchasing ready made mass produced corp. junk. Who is putting you up to this unfortunate trendsetting? that is bad for humankind and nature.
We are losing real men and everything that matters. Please don't hire cheap people, fake men to install ugly made in china or ikea slave labor (low wage) chemical mass produced (corporate/nwo) furniture that is also bad for our aura and the environment. Tears. Such a beautiful traditional village only real things please.
Millions or billions of humans supporting corp. junk, including corp. junk food, is a tragic malpractice and a great loss of tradition, health and sovereignty.
ALL interesting but be sure to have a quilt here or there in the decor. Yep, quilts can be traditional or modern but always a welcome on a chill day. I am Sure a woman in Scotland or a shop there can make a quilt that is suitable for use (cotton or wool batting). Yep, quilts will be wonderful…hahah ok, I am a simple quilter but I would not steer you wrong.
I find you and your videos to be calming, and I am truly enjoying the journey you are on.
Think light kitchen would help make the space feel lighter. Especially if it’s smaller space. But looks like a lovely property!! ❤ the little creek so cool
I just want to live in Scotland. When I visited Scotland I fell in love with it. My ancestors came from Scotland and I just felt like I was home.
