Restoring our British Estate with Plaster, Paneling & Secret Doors | My Tiny Estate
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
We are back where we started at the Dower House; in the snug (which is what we Brits call a sitting room). When we first laid eyes on this and every other space in this long neglected Georgian manor/cottage -- every last bit of charm had been stripped out. One of our first projects in the snug was to add beams to the ceiling. We were thrilled to discover a very old and massive fireplace behind a wall! Today -- we are creating our own paneling, applying lime plaster, making secret doors and adding a hearth to the fireplace. Whew!
Also -- Borja’s mother is arriving from Spain. We’re excited for her to see the progress we’ve made and -- as always -- she’s offered to lend us a hand. She’s a great sport but she may change her mind when she discovers that she needs to sit inside an extremely dirty fireplace while wearing a gas mask!

Love seeing Borja's fabulous mom! I always dreamed of having paneling in my living room so it was one of the first projects I did when I bought my house. I was worried I'd get tired of it but seeing you guys use it often lets me know that it's timeless! And the drone clips look professional! Borja got good after his mishap 😂

We love a bit of panelling! We know it’s has been heavily used over the past years but it’s such a great way to add depth and dimension and you can always change the colour of it ☺️
I love, love, love that snug/sitting room the lime plaster, the paneling, the light, the fireplace and yes and the hidden cupboards, my husband (I'm a guy by the way) and I have been doing a Georgian house up for years bit by bit, and we do a similar thing of re-imaging and re-cycling everything, we also have a stach of things like you guys, amazing job

Hi guys, I found you today and I've just finished binge watching all your videos. I would like to tell you that you have to keep in mind that not all your viewers are English, such as I, and therefore we haven't followed your journey in the tv series. So, I personally would love if you took the time to take as on a more detailed tour/ tours on the properties and tell us about your plans for all the buildings.❤

Is the stairway that you installed just for the original cottages? Was there or will there be a separate stairway in the Georgian section? And I enjoy when Borja's mom is on the scene.
@mytinyestate

The Georgian section isn't that big, this is the staircase that leads to upstairs :)
I wish I’d thought of the plywood sheeting - genius idea! I just added the timber panelling directly to the old horsehair plaster ten years ago. The overall effect looks good,but yours looks so much better.

Maybe you could show us on your drone footage or make a drawing where the cottage is. Also how far away is the dower house to your other project? For you it all sounds logical, for me it is very confusing. Please draw some layouts of the buildings (all the buildings) and gardens. Thank you.

Hi chaps, I watched Saving the Manor last year so really glad you've started this fantastic channel, loving the way you put the episodes together and really enjoying watching the progress. If you don't mind me asking where do you get your metal bed frames from, the one's you have at your main estate look perfect but I just can't seem to find anything decent also those pendant lights? Cheers 😁

I’ve just discovered your channel & have fallen in love with the estate & both of you! I’m a bit confused though about what renovations have already been done & shown on your TV show. Where can you watch it in the UK to catch up? Please keep KZread programmes going….fabulous!

Hello that is lovely to hear! Well we are filming tours of everything to add on the channel so people can understand as there are to many buildings. So far we have finished the caretakers cottage, Servants Quarters, Hay loft in the stables. We have left to do in the Main estate the Georgian House, Servants kitchens and the gardeners Cottage. We are currently restoring the Dower House . The tv show is called Saving the Manor I think in the Uk you could find it on discovery plus now? I am not sure it was on tv for few months
I absolutely love these x
