Every renovation project has peaks and troughs, but that doesn't make it any easier to deal with when you feel like the pace has slowed.

Here’s what we’re dreaming of for our hallway... We’ve been head-down the last few weeks painting the wainscot panelling and oiling the handrail. Next it’s painting the walls and spindles and I’m so excited 🙌😁 Can’t wait to share some more pics of the progress we’re making 💫 . . . #renovation #renovationproject #renovationproud #renovationprogress #homerenovation #myperiodhomestyle #styleithappy #myvictorianhome #instainteriors #instahome #roofoverourheads #myhomevibe #myhousethismonth #interioraddict #showmeyourstyle #letterboxhome #hallwaydecor #victorianhouse #moodboard #homemoodboard #homedecor #homestyle #inspiration #pinterest #homeblog
The hallway panelling is going up today! 🙌 Luke has had the day off so I’m getting updates every few hours - which just means the excitement is slowly growing. So far so good...🤞🏼🙏 . . . . . #renovation #renovationproject #renovationproud #renovationprogress #homerenovation #myperiodhomestyle #styleithappy #myvictorianhome #instainteriors #instahome #roofoverourheads #myhomevibe #myhousethismonth #interioraddict #showmeyourstyle #letterboxhome #diy #houseprogress #wainscotting #wainscottpanelling
Sometimes the little details can make all the difference... We’re fixing and painting all the original doors in the property to keep as much of the Victorian charm as possible. These little doorknobs are perfect to give a nod back to the age of the property, while keeping a modern twist. . . . . #home #homerenovation #house #renovation #renovationproject #renovationprogress #doors #doorknobs #refurb #oldandnew #finishingtouches #smalldetails #detailsmatter #home #myhousestyle #victorianhouse #victorianstyle #decor
What is it that makes your house feel like a home? We’ve got plenty of dogs in the family and can’t wait to get one of our own eventually, but our lives right now (and the state of the house) wouldn’t make for a happy dog. Instead we have to make do with the occasional bit of dog-sitting or fly-by visits like this - but that just makes them all the sweeter 🐶 . . . . #house #houserenovation #dogs #pets #happyplace #home #houseorhome #renovation #renovationprogress #kitchen #victorianhouse #victorianhome #instadog #instahome #bernesemountaindog #bernese #pets #happyhome #letterboxhome
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 💕 . . . . . #library #homelibrary #books #bookstagram #bookshelf #shelfie #bookish #bookwork #furnishing #furniture #lounge #livingroom #home #renovationproject #renovationproud #renovationprogress #homerenovation #styleithappy #myvictorianhome #instainteriors #instahome #roofoverourheads #myhomevibe #interioraddict #showmeyourstyle #letterboxhome
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... 🤷🏼‍♀️🧐 . . . . . #renovation #renovationproject #homerenovation #myperiodhomestyle #styleithappy #myvictorianhome #instainteriors #instahome #roofoverourheads #myhomevibe #interioraddict #letterboxhome #surf #surfboardhome #cornwall #newquay #airbnb #stay #break #inspiration #homeinspo #beachlove #beachlifestyle #beachstyle
