I think it looks absolutely amazing. I personally like the painted ceiling. It looked too much like a sauna before. Now it looks very high end. Great job! 👍🥰

I’m glad you painted the ceiling, it’s a lot more cleaner- and modern-looking. I had dirty old tongue and groove on my kitchen ceiling and I painted it white, now it looks so bright and fresh. I would probably keep any period, detailed woodwork unpainted, but not the 20th C. stuff.

Looks amazing! You guys are professionals at this point you can’t call yourself DIYers 🤩

Yes, they are professionals

The painted ceiling does look nice, especially with that color!

I was skeptical about the ceiling paint, but as u showed the final result, indeed it looks so much better! Also reflects a bit more light than the original wood. Well done!

Incredible. You definitely did the right thing painting the ceiling 🙂. I'm so jealous of your gym, I just won't go to a public one, I'm way too self conscious. Enjoy it, you clever pair xx

Yeh I’m not really a fan of gyms for the same reason. We’re really lucky to have a space like this that we can use as a gym x

"The Gym" sign was unexpected! so calm and beautifull space. I agree with your paint ceiling choose.

Great job, the ceiling colour goes well with everything else.

Great clean look and the best part was the Etsy The Gym sign! Great job and hello to Simon the hardest working husband along side his wife! 👍

The gym looks wonderful, and as always, I said out loud “They are indefatigable!” 😀 I like the painted ceiling, and the flooring is perfect. What a great room to workout in! Personally, I am really looking forward to the garden reno. Hope you get to have a bit of a rest time, if only for a bit! Well done, Emma and Simon, and pats to the B’s!

You worked your magic once again. Looks amazing. Congrats on the project to your husband and you.

What a difference, it looks great! I always enjoy your renovation videos, and fashion ones, too🙂

Love what you've done - it really makes the space feel welcoming! ❤ Yeeesss to painting the ceiling! I live in Denmark and have lived in a house with tongue and groove ceilings - they were as common as artex for a time! I hated them! I also lived in a rented flat with solid wood flooring and doors of a similar orange colour as you t&g - at the end I felt like I was living in a cigar box. So all in all, I applaud your decision! My husband has one simple rule as far as laying flooring goes - it should be laid at right angles to floor joists (if they exist and is the same as ceiling joists). This mimics how a solid wood floor would be laid, and gives consistency throughout the house if using the same flooring throughout. It's a bugbear when we see a home with flooring in two different directions!

@EmmaHill

Ай бұрын

Totally agree with your husband’s rule, whatever direction is chosen for one room I’d always choose for another. This is why we went for one fluid floor inside the house, it’s all connected 🙌🏼

Nice. And I do like the paint on the ceiling ❤

Gym just looks amazing emma,you have both done it again,hats off to you both,hope you have fun using it😊

ciao! bellissimo!!! I did not like the wooden ceiling and I also thought I would not like the colour you choose to paint it but I was wrong, very wrong! The effect is beautiful, clean, neat relaxing and calming. I really like the result! thanks so much for your video. ❤

Looks so much larger! Thank you for all the detailed narration!

I watch all your videos but I really enjoy the home renovation videos more than the fashion one. I suggest you remove the mirror and cover one side of the walls with a big mirror. It will make the gym look bigger and you will also benefit from it while doing weights excercises.

What an amazing transformation Emma xxxx

Painting the tongue and groove 👏🏻🏆 looks great

Looks fab, Emma - love all rhe neutrals, perfect. You and Simon have worked so hard, well done! X

WOW - just WOW!!! Fantastic remodel. I am not going to say "Noooooooo" over the ceiling, I like it. I don't like orange wood, so anything is an improvement. I do love wood, just not the orange kind. I have a question: Can you explain Simon's technique on the mire saw? The way he cuts a bit, then another bit, then runs the saw through the whole piece of wood? I have just purchased a sliding mitre saw, and am a complete novice, and wondered - does this stop splintering? Is there a genius idea that Simon has for cutting ? Very curious on his techniques, please share and we will call it "Simon's Cut". I promise!!!

Wow what a transformation!! Absolutely amazing job 🎉. Can I ask what speaker you use in this room (plugged into the wall)? I have a speaker but the space for it is empty so I have to leave it on the floor. Yours looks much neater when plugged in the wall socket.

What a great space you've both made Emma! My daughter and her partner are renovating a space for a home gym and I've sent the video link on to them! One point - could you not have used the sprayer when you used the mist coat on the walls? Love to you Simon and the Bs. Xxx

@EmmaHill

Ай бұрын

Yep the sprayer could absolutely be used for a mist coat and even for the normal paint but I was using it for another project so it had other paint in there. Tbh for a mist coat it’s just quicker to use a roller, the prep of taping would have taken 10 times longer and me just zipping around with a roller x

Lol I giggle when people paint wood and know they’d better head off the barrage of comments coming at them 😂 Wood *can* be beautiful, but it’s not always in harmony with the overall aesthetic of the space. And, quite frankly, some wood looks better when it’s painted. I think it looks fantastic. Harmonious with the main house. Well done, Emma and Simon! As always 😊

We had these types of ceilings everywhere on the upper floor of our house and these ceilings are mostly slanted. Who thought it was a good idea to make slanted ceilings darker than the walls? It makes them feel even lower and it's giving sauna vibes. Yes "but it's real wood!!!" but I don't think that's a good argument for keeping something that just doesn't work in a space.

Exactly, plus wood can always be stripped back and it’s only pine so not like it’s a beautiful oak or something 🫣 We’re so happy with the colour, it’s perfect in here 🙌🏼
