Heyyyy lovelies, in today's video I am bringing you on a house tour - showing you around my post war 3 bedroom house here in Essex in the UK. We bought this 3 bedroom, one bathroom house here in Essex in the UK 8 years ago this month. 8 years has flown by. Our house was built approx 1950 in the post-war rush to re-build houses following the Blitz and the widespread damage to London.
It is a large ( for the time ) 3 bedroom terraced house. When we bought our UK house we were so lucky it was in a great move - in condition. The kitchen was my favourite room and we didn't need to do much. Before we moved in we replaced all of the carpets and floors upstairs. This was it. we cleaned the house and moved straight in. Over the 8 years it has taken a while to make colour choices and build on our style. I say Our style but really hubby just allows me to crack on with it. He trusts me fully to make all of the interior decisions but he did have a say ha ha he chose the kitchen colour. Well done hubby lol.
I am showing you around our house and garden as well as sharing the bathroom in it's full beauty. The only room we don not see in this house tour is my Craft Room. Claire's Crafty Corner is trashed and my Patrons get to see that regularly.

Giving that mattress away is fine😊... My adult daughter had an elipticle (wrong spelling!) Exercise machine during pandemic...paid about £300 for it. She needed it no longer and donated it to charity. I was proud of her kindness.
Your home is absolutely beautiful!! I love that your walls have gorgeous colors on them, and all the wood pieces you've made look fabulous with those colors!! Thank you for sharing George with us, too. He's my favorite!!! I just love your home. It's so warm and snuggly and feels like I could live there and be happy forever!! Thank you so much for sharing this with us. It really brings me closer to you and your family. Sending big hugs and lots of love to you all from California, USA. Oh and please give George a big snuggle and kiss from me, Auntie Lorraine. 🐾🩷💙💐
So beautiful. If I had to pick a word it would be cozy. All your colors are my taste. Your so lucky to have all the counter top space in the kitchen. I just feels like a home a place you want to grab a blanket and curl up and relax on the coach.
The bookcase - extremely busy😢😢but if this is liked that's okay. The house overall is beautiful and I love all the hand made items😊
Lovely home tour due to being one of the nicest houses on YT. The kitchen is my fav. I think the living room is very dark and the rug is way too small. Apart from that, beautiful 😊
It's all looking absolutely gorgeous Claire! It's been lovely seeing the various rooms coming together over the past months 😍
Nice to see a UK home , I'm English and the usa houses awe me with their size! 😂🇬🇧
Hi Claire, I've come over from your crafting channel as I'm crafter too, your house is beautiful and very much my aesthetic, I have also made console tables and a lot of home decor myself, pictures, mirrors etc, you are truly talented ❤
I notice all your wood stars,I have a few and love the placements of some of yours😊
Claire this house is turning out gorgeous. You have done such a wonderful job restoring it & it’s a delight to watch each step of the way. I simply love everything & how handsome is our dear George. He behaved beautifully during this film which is amazing (I’m surprised he didn’t even bark at the neighbors 😅😂🤣). 🩵🩵🩵
Wow you have your home looking amazing! It looks so modern and fresh and the fact that you have a lot of it all yourself is amazing! Great job lady! Your new floors are stunning and I am so jealous how clean they are! Our floors are never clean anymore since we got the Deef......lol......but he's worth it! But wow yes I do miss clean and sparkly floors! Everything is looking so beautiful!

heyyyyyyyyy hunee thank yoooo :) I was looking back at our collab years ago ha ha the house looks quite different now but still the same in lots of areas - so happy with it and I am still staring at the projects that need doing like --- ughhhh another day ha ha I like our floors but they're MATT - I think I would like some kind of soft sheen on my floor like we used to have - easier to clean too xxx HUGS to Deeeef
Your home has become a dream home now after all the hardworks done by you.The entire home looks superb, so elegant and amazing 💜💜💜💜
Your home is beautiful, Claire. Nice job on everything. Plus, it will look great whenever you guys are ready to put it on the market to move.

Awwwwww Claire I was hoping to see Claire’s crafty corner lol. Beautiful home xx
Your house is lovely, I love your kitchen. I really like the colour drench trend but try persuading my other half that woodwork and ceilings should be anything but white…🤪- his brain would be fried!
Everything looks great my Studio Bedroom is always Chaos and door closed as well. Everyone sees enough of that. I want to go green in my kitchen but green is such a hard color 😂 i did angreen living room once and it took i swear 20 tries and i was never 100% happy plus my house is an open floor plan if i go green I want slightly darker in the kitchen/dining half and slightly lighter in the living half.
We used tongue Nd grove to make our bath panel, painted it and treated it, changed the room

I love too see how regular homes look across the world and yours are so pretty! I can really relate to the 60 seconds of neatness. I spent the last two days finally sorting out my kitchen only to have it revert back to a mess today...

What a beautiful home.❤ And it makes it so much better that so much of it has been done by you. You have done an amazing job. Welcome to come over here to Australia and update my home any day. 😂 As long as you bring George! ❤
Lovely house.
Love your home!
What a fun tour! Double rug….it would be a trip hazard for me, for sure. In the U.S…I would never block a heat source. Back in the day, we had wall heaters - didn’t look like yours - and it would have been a fire hazard. I love all the colors you chose for each room; I also like how you have many of your own craft pieces here and there. Thank you so much for sharing! 💐

You have a beautiful home. I love the colors you chose. I just painted my living room the same blue color! It’s so calming. It’s obvious that you have spent a lot of thought and time in creating a welcoming atmosphere in your home. Lovely. I wish I had your kitchen. 😊. Bye Claire, bye George.

Are you referring to the large rugs on my living room floor ? or the small mats by my front door?
