FINISHED LOFT CONVERSION TOUR | 2022

IT'S FINALLY FINISHED! 11 months after the builders arrived, we are ready to tour our finished loft conversion. We hired builders to create the shell of our l-shaped dormer and then finished everything yourselves - building the walls, laying the floor, plumbing, you name it!

    It's beautiful, you have done a fantastic job! The plant in the dressing room is a peace lily I think. I totally hear you about practicality over pretty (to a point). It's so refreshing to see that honesty. It drives me round the twist when you see Instagram posts where they have like 3 toiletries on display and two pairs of obviously never-worn shoes. Good luck on the next phase!

    For the towels you can grab special radiator hooks that will give you that little bit of extra space. Victoria Plumbing, B&Q etc should do some nice black ones to match your radiator. 2 at the top and two at the bottom will allow you to balance towels almost like a clothes horse for your bathroom without taking up the space or being an eye sore. Love the channel. We pick up the keys to our first Reno this week - wish us luck.

Been doing the family home for decades and coming to the last big project (Kinda reverse of what you are doing) The Loft. Been a very informative watch as I have a L Shaped Victorian house to convert. The tricks used to save money.. Excellent ideas, so thanks very much for the heads up in to this big project.

    The plant is a peace lily ☺ they not need too much light they just like to be wet, they are beautiful plants. Dont panic when the flowers die, that's normal and it'll put out new ones if it's happy! The other plant is a fiddle leaf fig, can be pretty tricky but yours looks healthy. I would honestly swap out the fake succulents for real ones. They're pretty much unkillable, water them once a month if that and theyll be fine and they look so much nicer than fake ones

    Depends what your priorities are. For ease it’s better to start up and work your way down as the loft creates so much dust. If we did our kitchen first it would have been ruined by builders walking through filling up water for cement, washing out paint brushes etc.

    Yes your skylight is brillant but how do you clean it? Also in this intense heat Summer how do you cope? does it face straight to the sky or is is slanting towards east/west/south? If it was my house I would want to believe I could do it facing North which then would help in the type of Summer we are experiencing. Your comment is welcome.

    Thanks - it brings in so much light! It’s definitely hotter in the summer but as it’s not a bedroom it’s ok. It faces straight towards the sky, it’s meant to be self cleaning but not the best at it. I think we will need to climb out through the velux window and onto the top to give it a clean when it gets really dirty. I would highly recommend one though for the light it brings in

    Question from the US. Do most women in Britain do their makeup and hair in the bedroom or a dressing room? I see a lot of pedestal sinks in British renovated baths, even large bathrooms. In the US I think most women do hair and makeup in the bathroom, so we do the biggest vanities possible with maxed out storage and drawers.
