One thing social media doesn’t show you about home renovation is that it takes a LONG ASS TIME to do all this stuff.

And costs add up faster than you’d think, so I’ll be doing a full breakdown from start to finish.

Supplies for part 1:
Wallpaper steamer - £40
Scraper - £6
Paint samples - £2.50 each x 11
Polyfilla - £2.50
Putty knife - £6
Electric sander - £50
Full face respirator - £30

Total so far: £162

Note: we did have a lot of the above supplies already, so we didn’t have to buy them all specifically for this project. But I wanted to give people who don’t have all these items an idea of what it would cost.

And if you’re the impatient type, feel free to scroll 58 videos back (yes, I counted) to see the living room reveal where I originally posted it without going into the detail of the process. But also, you should definitely stick around for these process videos. Learn a thing or two. Pretty please.

Who knew the Brits would have such fire snacks? Ngl, when I heard about spotted dick in a can, my expectations for British snacks were low 😂

But I’ve been pleasantly surprised, especially by your crisp/potato chip game. Now you just need dill pickle chips because the US really hit it out of the park with that one.

I’m giving myself a design pass considering this was the first room I’d ever attempted to decorate. But honestly, I’m underwhelmed 😅

I still love the paint, but the shape of the room just makes it a bit awkward to figure out what to do on the long walls. If anyone has suggestions, I’d be super grateful!

Little trick for transom windows if you’re a light sleeper like me and eye masks are still not enough!

Also, in retrospect I realise those windows are definitely not 8ft high, I’m just a short potato 😭
