When we started thinking about the interior design of our flat, we wanted one theme to shine through. The beach.
How to inject a subtle ‘beachy’ vibe – without the nautical stripes!

We’re just a week or so away from getting the furniture into the lounge! 🙌 Is it bad that I’ve already started thinking about where the books will go?
Can’t wait to get our own living room library together, just like this one by @c_app13 💕

A little bit of #inspo for a Thursday morning... I can’t wait to get furnishing each of our rooms in the house but I know we’re still a little way off that right now 🤦🏼♀️🤣 Not so long ago, we had a much-needed break and spent a few days in Newquay, and i loved how everything about the little flat we stayed in was surf-inspired. Think bright whites, driftwood furniture and beachy artwork.... Currently wondering how I could get a decorative surfboard to work in an old Victorian semi-detached... 🤷🏼♀️🧐

Reminding myself of this quote almost daily!
It’s so important to remember that during a house renovation, a LOT of the work is often unseen or unnoticed by others but still really important. No one will notice all the sanding you’ve done, or the new skirting board you painstakingly spent ages choosing, or the floorboards you may have had to replace before the carpet went down - but it all adds up to a job well done. Plus, how rewarding is it to look at your home and think - I did that?! 🤜🏠

Word of warning for anyone thinking about renovating an older property - particularly a Victorian one - be prepared for a LOT of sanding. From the wooden staircase and all 52 spindles, to the hallway and landing CEILING, I never thought I would know so much about sandpaper 🤣
The job this week is to prep the landing for decorating. Sounds simple? Well, the ceiling has beautiful cornicing with medallions round the outside and for some weird reason, previous owners thought it all needed artex... 🤦🏼♀️We’re trying to get it back to smooth... Wish us luck! .

It’s been a bit quiet on here recently but (hopefully) that is all set to change!
Last week, we had a much needed break to Cornwall - just a few days but enough time to recharge our batteries, and have a few surf sessions. In all honesty, it was also just amazing to be somewhere with a sofa - the luxury! 🤣
Before the break, we’d been juggling our day jobs with work on the house most evenings and weekends. After a while, that got a bit exhausting. Now, we’ve got a better idea of balance, readjusted our timescales and booked a heck of a lot of work in again. Excited to share with you more progress and changes as they happen!! 🛠

We’ve got a new mini project in the house 💛
Hard to believe that we got this Victorian fireplace (c.1864) for free ! Swipe to see what it looked like when Luke first brought it home... 🤦🏼♀️ I’ll admit, at first, I wasn’t 100% sure we’d be able to make this look nice again, but now I am convinced. The front image is how it scrubbed up after just an hour and a half of work 😍 It still needs lots more work but we LOVE it already - and also lucked out seeing as the tiles match the colour of our living room 🙌
What bargains have you found when doing your place up? .
