Elegantly Knackered Style
Elegantly Knackered Style
I'm Louisa - smiling my way through the highs and lows of a slow DIY home renovation project with my husband Mark. Creating a home in our own unique, Elegantly Knackered Style.
In 2016, with a small budget, we embarked on a slow 'doing it ourselves' renovation - our 300 year old Norfolk cottage. We've come a long way already, but there is still a long way to go.
Working on a home renovation project is all consuming and there is a lot to think about. This channel is about our journey - the decisions we make, the way we do it and the interior design results. You'll also see where we get our inspiration and our DIY and interior source book, including lots of vintage hunting - our favourite kind of interior shopping.

Did you know you can eat courgette flowers?
Yes, I keep meaning to batter them.
Laughed at the foot waving.This montage is delightful.
Thanks Helen. From memory, I think you like the music as well.
We had the London pot as our bin in the living room in the 70's.
That's what I am using mine for in my bedroom :)
Love the music 🎵🎶!!
Me too 😁🙌🏻

We have a 300 year old house and it’s a continuous labour of love 🥰 xxxxx
Oh how brilliant. I love Suffolk. If you're on a Lovejoy Trail, try to visit the Butt and Oyster.
@@elegantlyknackeredstyle Is that near Ipswich ? Was it used in the series
@@debrabroughton1593 yes, it's near the Orwell bridge and it was the pub used in Lovejoy.
@@elegantlyknackeredstyle Thanks Louisa …. we’re here for a month, although have a very elderly springer to consider …. We stay near Bungay/Southwold. Also love Norfolk … many happy memories with my twins and mamma and grandad in the Poppy Line 😉🥰. Will have lots of time to watch your vlogs. The house is coming on so beautifully - our is still a labour of love after 25 years! Now replacing things we installed 25 years ago - and trying to keep to the style of the house …. Thanks so much! do you ever have get togethers with your followers? X
