This weeks progress, I’ve had a conversation with planning about the colour of the windows. It’s was really positive as The Yorkshire National Parks would now prefer a softer colour palette on the windows as they think it’s more in keeping than the orange wood. I’m just waiting for the green light now.

What do you think?

Also, as the renovation life is slow, whilst we live with it and make plans. What would you like to see from me? More of the greenhouse? Raw unfinished rooms? General life?

Also, I can’t believe it’s Friday. Where has the week gone?!

4 week house tour of our Barn in the Yorkshire dales.
(Part 1) sorry it’s a long one 🫣 I did try and speed it up!

We’ve had the busiest 4 weeks lifeing since moving in so we’ve not made any progress, but we’ve started to make plans now. I hope you love them 💞

I loved to hear your thoughts on our plans.

I hope you’ve had a lovely weekend.

PR Visit| Red Brick Mill is now complete 🫶🏽

has arrived on the top floor!! And it’s just as gorgeous as all their other stores. I now have a wish list as long as my arm. And you bet I’ve popped an order in which I’ll be showing you as they arrive.

If you’ve never been to and you’re based in the North I highly recommend a visit. It has all your favourite stores under one roof.

A little more of why there’s not been much of inside the barn. We want to take this one slowly. Invest in things that will be here a long time. Make sure we get it right and we can only do that by living with it. But it’s definitely not insta worthy right now 😅🫠

Anyway we’re off to today for ! And i also had an exciting pr event to go to this morning but I’ll show you that tomorrow.

Have a fabulous day

Probably the busiest month of my life 😂 but it’s all good.

We love the new house, after 2 weeks it still hasn’t sunk in this is our home. It’s made grafting, renovating 5 houses worth it just to be here.

Happy 1st June ###

Ad| fully in my gardening era 🪴

I didn’t get chance to show you the green house in the garden tour. But here it is, it needed a little TLC so what better use of a bank holiday than to get stuck in and sort it out!

Ive been wanting a greenhouse for ages and now ive finally got one 🫶🏽

I managed to do this completely on a budget and actually it looks super cute in the sunshine, I don’t think these shots do it justice.

The spray gun made the job so much quicker and gave
a flawless finish!

Seeds are planted, I just need to wait for them to grow.

Here is where you’ll find me at 6am with a brew and my watering can 😆
