It won’t be fast, but my goodness it’ll be exciting! Stage 1: Fancy schmancy glass, heritage windows, blue hydrangeas and yes, the hot pink wall is going!
Love your plans JP! That glass is amazing too. I saw that on a Grand Designs episode too used for bedroom doors and never forgot it. Looking forward to the grand reveal of the painted wall and glass! 🥰
Ooo juices flowing here ! Not the pancakes I’ve just scoffed neither ! How cool is that ? You have loads of great plans for the barn , I’m so excited to see them unfold over the next couple of years ..those dormas next door too ! What a fab design..and planning won’t be a problem either I shouldn’t think . Poor old Tomasz Schafernaker , he’s not had a very good year has he ? 😂 I love him though X happy Sunday darling enjoy the garden Xx fabulous update !
How exciting, JP! I can almost feel your energy in this post. Now you just need a hard hat and a harness, singing YMCA as you strip! Happy Sunny Sunday!
Sounds fabulous all the upstairs one big fabulous master suit, looking forward to seeing what the architects and you both come up with. The glass on the mezzanine looks amazing, such a great idea. Hope the beams come up lighter easily, take care and don't fall off the mezzanine! Have a lovely sunny Sunday. X
Sounding amaaaziiinnnggg!! 👌🏼 Looking forward to seeing all your beautiful pink errr I mean blue hydrangeas too 🩵 Love the history of your home! My house is on an old apple orchard and our deeds say we can't keep pigs! 🐷 The last 2 apple trees were in my my neighbours garden but they were diseased and had to be removed a year or so ago. Enjoy the sunshine ☀️ xx
Devastated!! 😂😂 My mum used to have pigs as a child in Northampton. Random! But there's a connection here! 🐷😆Apple tree is on the list. My garden is all pots, we've moved so many times I never wanted to leave anything behind. But I feel an apple tree should stay as a nod to the old orchard if we did ever move xx
Ooh the glass! I was going to use a panel in our previous cottage but it never happened! Very exciting! Love the idea of a chilled Chablis whilst admiring your chunky beams! 🤭🤭🤭❤️
It's going to be amazing, looking forward to watching all your ideas come to life especially the glass. I think the pink wall might be turning blue..😂
I’m thinking green 😁 guess the colour game loading ..
🤣 It was indeed going to be green, but you’ll have to wait a week!
No giant Union Jack then 😂? X
Blue? Me? Surely not? 🤣
Love your plans JP! That glass is amazing too. I saw that on a Grand Designs episode too used for bedroom doors and never forgot it. Looking forward to the grand reveal of the painted wall and glass! 🥰
That’s exactly it Rebecca, some time ago, but it was rather dramatic wasn’t it! So excited about it all.
I know, I can’t imagine what made me think of that!
I’m so looking forward to seeing all of this come to life! Sounds so exciting x
This one’s a slow reno, well, slow for us anyway! 🤣
How amazing can’t wait to see all your lovely ideas come to life Ioved your New England style house and your ideas for this home sounds amazing.🤩
All very exciting JP. I’ll be following you all the way x
Thank you Sally! Hope you’re well and enjoying this sunny weather. X
So looking forward to your renovations unfolding! Especially the garden 🌿
Oh we have big plans for the garden!
So exciting JP. I can’t wait to see the glass and the covering of the pink wall😬.
Thank you Andrea!
I love the marriage of modern glass and traditional beans. x It’s going to be an interesting journey…
It looks good in my head, let’s hope it works out in real life! 🤣😳

Bless Tomasz, I do love him too. Yes, hopefully as there is a precedent for the dormers it should be no problem.
How exciting, JP! I can almost feel your energy in this post. Now you just need a hard hat and a harness, singing YMCA as you strip! Happy Sunny Sunday!
🤣🤣 I’ve got the hard hat. I’ll pop onto Amazon for the harness!
Love it! 😂😂

I’ll certainly do my best to not fall off. The beams are such hard work, but it’s worth it.

All very exciting Libby. Are you disappointed you can’t keep pigs? 🤣 and also, are you planning on planting a new apple tree?

I’m really pleased to read that Libby.

I do definitely have chunky beams Penny and there is nothing better than a chilled Chablis to sip whilst having a perusal!
🤣🤣🤣❤️
Oh I’m so excited to watch your plans come to life. That glass is genius!! Happy stripping 😜
You saucy thing Sandra! 🤣🩷
Sounds amazing darling and can’t wait to see! The flo of a house is so important. X
You’re so right. It’s dreadful at the mo, but we’ll sort it. Enjoy that sunshine Alex. Chiswick, Richmond, or the garden, where are you off to today?
