Thank you!1 so glad you liked the video. So eventually we would like to put a log burner in if we are able to do it, but if not, I would like to open it up at the bottom section anyway, and see how high it used to go up to. I think even without a log burner it will look magnificent!! Yes.. the 70s fashion for fireplaces… isn’t quite my taste anyway!! Haha. I’m actually not sure what to do with the lintel and whether you can attach a mantle piece.. that’s something I’ll have to investigate I think! But I think for us, because I actually quite like the look of it now, and will probably like it more when it’s cleaned up, I think I may try to get a surround that goes with the aesthetic… potentially! I’m definitely figuring this all out as I go so any advice or thoughts would be fab! Haha x

Oh my goodness, thank you ever so much. You are so kind. I really do appreciate you, and for you to take the time to write out your comment. I don’t understand it either, isn’t it strange?? Thank you for giving me an extra boost!! I genuinely do think it will look so wonderful at the end. Just need to get through the mess first 🤣❤️ Thank you again, so so much xx

Thank you so much for your sweet comment! This means so much to me lovely, and you're right.. the vision is clear and it will look stunning. I think overall, showing off a traditional part of this home means so much to me. Thank you lovely xx

Not a silly question at all!! So above that ceiling there is nothing, it’s a one floor extension, which is why we had to do that unfortunately. Very annoying though I know 🤣

@@homeatnumberninetyfive ah I see, thank you for the explanation, makes sense now, sorry if I missed that in the video.

No you’re ok don’t even worry, you’re all ok. I hope you have a lovely week if I don’t speak to you again before! 😁

Thank you ever so much for commenting! This is extremely helpful information!! There is lots that we still don’t know about the walls, but yes I believe they are all solid walls. We did have the damp tested on the survey but will make sure everything is ok as we go. Thank you! Do you like with the ‘yellow’ish walls, can we sand this down and paint on top? What are your thoughts?

@@homeatnumberninetyfive you're welcome. I know its exciting and you want to crack on with putting your stamp on the house but maybe take time out to understand how your house is built (solid walls versus cavity) and therefore how to look after it so it looks after you (and future owners). If it's solid walls google SPAB (Society for Protection of Ancient Buildings) and study their free documents such as about walls needing to breathe. Sadly most builders want to treat all houses as if they have cavity walls so it's better if you learn about solid walls. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to sand lime plaster...why are you thinking of doing this? Is the paint flaking? try first just sponging and scrubbing them (don't soak them though) or scraping. It's important not to use modern paint particularly on external and ground floor walls. Ideally use distemper. Alternatively you could cover them with lining paper rather than directly painting the walls. 😃

Thank you for sharing. I totally get that. Takes a while to feel comfortable somewhere.. it feels strange at first. Sending love and light! Have a good weekend!

@@homeatnumberninetyfive tysm!! 🥰

That sounds like a great alternative! Thank you for sharing your tip. We’ve got plenty of wallpaper we will remove throughout to test this on too! 🤣

@@homeatnumberninetyfive if it doesn’t work add more water ☺️ I used to do it all the time as a painter and decorator cold water works to.

@@britontouryt5223 awesome!! Thanks so much for this! I really do appreciate it! Have a fab weekend mate 👍🏽🥳

I’ve just used 2 bottles of wall paper remover. Spray and leave 10 minutes then glides off. Wasted hours with steamer

Oh wow really!! Do you mind sharing which you used? May try this too!! Thanks!

Bless you, thank you ever so much!! I really do appreciate that. Some of my family live in the states, so it’s dear to me for sure. Sending love from the UK all the way back to you!

Bless you! Thank you ever so much ❤️

Definitely! It’s actually bigger than it seems on camera, so it may be difficult to do sliding doors, however I’m hoping eventually we can install large glass doors. Here’s to hoping! 😳🤣❤️

If you look at my content, you’ll be able to see that we are doing a slow renovation. This is our family home, and every test we’ve had back for the rest of the property has come back clear from asbestos. It’s looking positive so far, but thanks for your comment 🙂

❤️❤️❤️

Thank you! 😊 have a beautiful day!
