Congrats on your new home. So pleased that you now get your own craft room. 🎉
Thank you so much Clair ;o)
Aww Johnny huge congratulations on your new home. its absolutely beautiful. I'm sure you will have lots of fun making it your own. love the garden and craft room.
wishing you, Andrew and Ziggy many happy years in your new home 🥰
Thank you Jean, I'm having lots of fun on this fixer upper.
Oh Johnny, I'm so happy for you. The house looks fabulous & you'll soon get round the problems. If the work surface will come off ok, you could maybe dismantle the cupboards & move around as needed. The smoke smell will disappear once you decorate ( I inherited that problem once). At long last you'll have your own craft room & Ziggy will have his own garden too. By the way, that climbing weed with white flowers is bindweed. It's an absolute pain! 😁 🏡
Hey Anita, whilst cleaning I discovered the panel besides the cooker comes off, so have wiggle room. I got told to use weed killer on that plant. Gross, noway don't want the critters being harmed. So looking forward to moving in.
Congratulations wishing you good health wealth and happiness in your new home. 🙂
Thank you so much ;o)
Eee… we’ve got our own craft room now! Yay!
Congrats and hope we’ll all be happy in your new home! 🫶🎉🎉🎉
Thank you, after the fun of fixing it up is over, I'll be very happy to move in.
The units will come away from wall. So take cooker away from wall leaving space to shuffle up the units into the cooker space. That'll leave you room to get your cooker out. The units are only held with a few brackets onto the wall. Worst bit will be that you will have to sort out trim between tiles and worktop
Discovered a panel beside cooker so we have wiggle room. The workmen say they will get it out somehow.
Aww the house and garden are lovely 😍 congratulations 🎉 you will soon have it ship shape and how fantastic you can now have a craft room 🙌. Church bells are beautiful, heres to many years in your new home 🥂xx
Thank you Debbie ;o)
Your sun room needs patio doors into the garden.
Its going to be an office, no space for doors. I like the patio doors in the living room, lets loads of light in.
Congratulations on your new home! Ziggy will love it 😍.
Hey Barbara, yeah I can't wait till he sees the garden.
@@JustJohnnyCreations he won’t know where to explore first. Plant some catnip 😁
Congratulations on your new house Johnny it looks lovely, just waiting for your personal touches. Lucky you having the bonus of a craft room yeahh xx
Oh I know I'm so lucky can't believe it's not butter. The theme for the decor will be nature.......
Oh Johnny , Alex and l just watched it on tv , im so happy for you and proud of you . Congratulations!!! I can't wait to see you in your new craft room! ❤
Hey Gaby I cant wait till everything is sorted so I can move in.
I absolutely love your new house and garden. I just wanted to say congratulations to you Andrew and Ziggy and to say I so love listening to the kind and loving way you talk about your mam every time you mention her in your videos. She must be very proud of you. Hi to all of you from Australia.
Hey Grammy hope you are well, thank you for watching and commenting ;0)
Congratulations on your new home 😊Yay for having a craft room. 😊The garden is amazing - so much potential 😊
Thanks so much! 😊
Wow Johnny! Congratulations 🎊 that's fantastic, super happy for you. Ziggy will be in his element 😊
I'd probably take the window out to rejig the cooker, washing machine and fridge freezer. Id also potentially put a patio door in the sun room to prevent this issue when replacing appliances in the future. The previous people got their fridge freezer out somehow 🤔
You might be alright with your rewire not to have to worry about the tiles, it depends where the wires go and it they (the wires) can be pushed through without need to remove them. I used to work for an electrician and they were very good at trying their best to work round things where possible. You might be lucky.
The plant in the garden that's taking over is bind weed. It's a perennial weed, that's a bugger to get rid of. Do a Google on best methods of removal.
Loving the craft room space 😍 especially with the church bells in the background. Are you by the seaside somewhere? Sure, I could hear seagulls at points.
I'm looking forward to updates on your fabulous new home 🏡 and garden 😀 exciting times
Thank you Shelly, yeah I live close to the sea. Often get splattered by the pesky gulls. I will be doing regular updates, so much work to be done.
really nice home johnny, now i know where to go when i made my first visit to England :), thank you for sharing
Thank you Dawn I love it.
What a lovely property / new home, with so much potential and that back garden is amazing (Ziggy will love it). It's great you are going to be able to have your own dedicated craft room and I can't wait to see how you transform that room into your own crafting happy place. It's definitely a bit of a project, but one I'm sure you will thoroughly enjoy. I agree with getting rid of that fire place and I would think it'd be easier to take out the window in the sunroom to get rid of the cooker - but it might be helpful if you could find out from the previous owners how they managed to get their fridge freezer out. Anyway - here's to the future and I look forward to the renovation vlogs :)
Hello, well they said they used the door in the kitchen but that has now gone to make room for the fridge. So looking forward to seeing Ziggy running around in the garden, if we ever manage to get the fence fixed.
Awww congratulations Johnny! 🥳💚 your new home looks amazing and has so much potential! Can’t wait for a future art/ craft room tour!
Hey Emily hope you are well. So much time spent on this house, is so worth it though. So looking forward to a craft room.
Congratulations on your new home Johnny!! Craft room yay!!! ❤
Thank you Tori ;0)
I'm so happy for you Johnny - you have a lot of work to do , but it's going to be amazing! ooooh I love those chandeliers in your new sitting room. Such an interesting and pretty garden (I think those flowers are called convulvulus or something?) and lovely bright good-sized kitchen and what a sweet note from the family. Ah Johnny I'm buzzing with excitement for you. OOOOOOh your craft room, the best bit!! Gorgeous bay windows. It's a lovely place, full of character and just waiting for you to put your own stamp on it, congratulations!! xo
Thank you Annie, I'm enjoying the work so far, so much to do. Well only me and my mam who liked those chandeliers. The work men thought we were going to bin them, tut.
@@JustJohnnyCreations Don't listen to the workmen, what do they know?! I love those chandeliers - maybe you should have one of them in your craftroom!! You should do a whole series working on your new house, that would be really fun to watch :)
I have something funky lined up for the craft room, had it for 10yrs. An amber beaded shade, have 2 of them. I have some more vidz didn't think folk would be interested. Will mash them together and upload.
@@JustJohnnyCreations oh yeah , people love watching house makeovers, people organising, stuff like that, I've watched loads of those. I wonder what Ziggy will make of it all - are there any other cats about?
No, a few mad barky dogs
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉 Johnny I love your new home 🏠 it has so much character and potential 😊 really pleased for you Ziggy will be in her element and a craft room 🥰just a thought I would paint your fire place it’s very lovely 🦋🌷💕🍄🥰
Me too Hilary, oh no I'm gonna sell or give the whole fire place away.
@@JustJohnnyCreations yes I agree if you hate it get rid, I have a horrible brick fire place but can’t afford to replace yet it would mean new carpet 😂 LOL it’s very over powering!!
Oh I know, my friend said keep it for now then get rid. I said noway I want the new carpets to last 50 yrs or more.
Hullo Johnny, I don’t know how they moved out your refrigerator! That stove might be there to stay! Unless you are going to create new doors to the outside? Maybe French doors to the garden? You will need to check on what the local regulations are for refurbishments! Wishing you and yours only the very best!
So much glass? Sun shining in even on a winter’s day. Winter sun low in the sky. The room will become an oven. Also sun light on the screen. Been there!!! I am talking from experience here. To make it a useable office space will entail blinds, then, loss of the light you are dreaming of. Sorry to be negative. I am developing my house in Spain. I know how the sun acts upon everyday life. Be better as a craft room and the office upstairs. Good luck anyway.
Ps. Check the room out at different times of the day to see if it works. Xx
No not negative, just banter. I wont be using that room, think my partner is getting one of those ceiling fans. Wow a house in Spain, bet your having fun with that. I can't stick the heat, maybe I would be better off in an Igloo.
@@JustJohnnyCreations Unfortunately a ceiling fan won’t curtail the sun through that glass. I wish your partner well though. My house in Spain will be fantastic once completed. However, I have to travel regularly back to the UK to give me sufficient funds to continue the work here. Already been ‘abused’ financially by a builder. My current builder is fantastic. Just purchased Starlink so I can work on my website when over here. Elon Musk is a genius! The best part of travelling over is I can bring EBay purchases over. My best purchase was a shower cubicle for my downstairs bathroom/utility room. I had to go into central London to pick it up. It was really heavy, brand new. I paid £50 for it, retail price £1400! Chap who purchased it for his Canary Wharf Town House unfortunately got one too tall to fit in the area required. So, if you are able to collect you can get fantastic bargains on eBay. I made the 3rd shower wall out of glass blocks, cost me £30 for sufficient to do the wall. Shower looks a real ‘stand alone’ feature now. My upstairs bathroom has a superb green glass sink, complete with taps, waste pipe, and surround. Beautiful. That was £40 but I had to travel up to Scotland to pick it up. Only the Borders though so had the chance of visiting friends for a couple of days. Moral to this very, very, very long diatribe…. When developing a house look on EBay. LOL. Good luck.
