Welcome to our series of vlogs where we will be renovating our early 1960's converted bungalow in the beautiful Kent countryside. This renovation will involve a lot of #DIY as we do like to get stuck in however we are not professionals in any way so these are not tutorials 😂. From experience renovating previous properties we know that we learn from our mistakes and pick up new tips, tricks and skills along the way. This is not going to be a quick turn around, we'll be doing this over the course of the next few years so thank you for coming along for the journey, hopefully we'll still have all our limbs, fingers and toes intact by the end of it 🤞🏼

ADVERTISING
As content creation is our business and how we earn our living you will see advertising in our content from time to time in different forms:
We are very selective about what brands we work with on paid/sponsored content creation and as a rule we don't work with any brand that we don't already or wouldn't spend our own money on. We are incredibly proud of all our brand partnership content and it will always be disclaimed in the most transparent way possible so you know exactly what is and 'AD'.
Because we don't work with a large amount of brands on sponsored content we do rely on our KZbin ad revenue. Any adverts you watch during the duration of our videos will earn us a small percentage of 'ad revenue' from KZbin and we really appreciate you watching the adverts in full (and not skipping them), but only if and when you can. We also know that time is precious so no pressure.
We also use 'Affiliate Links' in the description boxes below our videos and if you make a purchase via these links we will earn a small percentage of commission depending on the sale amount. Not all links are affiliate links but just assume they are
Any items/links marked with '[AD - Pr products]' are products which have been 'gifted' from the respective brands without a contract for sponsored content. This is still classed as a form of advertising because nothing is ever "free", brands are gaining exposure to our audience by us featuring them, so these items are marked as 'AD' but we are under no obligation to feature these items. And as with our paid content, we never accept gifting/pr products from brands that we don't already or wouldn't spend our money on. If we have received a press discount on anything featured this will also be disclaimed.

Joanna makes this room appear so much larger. I see why this is your favourite colour, it has so much depth. Beautiful guest room!

[@janeseemann2527]

Emma + Emma = perfection. 😊

[@MY93025]

You and Simon are truly gifted. I do a lot of diys but you guys are on another level. This is such a beautiful and calming space.

[@pamelaatkinsonscats2873]

The room looks absolutely beautiful. You’ve done an amazing job. I always admire how much DIY you and Simon can do. I’m hopeless. I moved flats in May 2022 and I definitely need some repairs done and I don’t have a clue.

[@EmmaHill]

The internet will show you how 🙌🏼 We learnt most of our skills from internet tutorials/advise over the years and some we both picked up from DIY savvy parents when we were younger. There are some things we won’t attempt like serious plumbing jobs, plastering (such an art 🙌🏼) and major electrics but most things we’ll have a crack at and I’m sure you could too 😘

[@pamelaatkinsonscats2873]

@@EmmaHill Thank you for the advice, Emma. I’ll make that my mission for this year. 💚👍🏽

[@aliceinwonderland.2080]

Hi Emma. This is a lovely makeover and you have created a really calm and relaxed room with minimalist styling. As always, I thoroughly enjoy watching the renovations and new decor to your lovely home.🥰

[@-MEL16-A.O.C]

Love the natural color palette with the touch of black,everything works so well together. And the 2 little frame are the detail !!! Bises

[@eleanorbesly9868]

Just what I needed on a chilly Sunday - an Emma and Simon DYI video! Great job, as always. Can’t go wrong with Joanna! I love how you’ve layered all the colours and textures. Very interested in the blinds, must check them out. Elegant, sophisticated and still welcoming and cosy at the same time. And there’s the black for contrast and grounding the room. Really enjoyed this one, guys! Well done, and beautiful result. Lovely to see Simon, however briefly, and hugs and pats to the doggos!

[@clanzi1971]

The result of your renovation is amazing ! I really like the neutral colours, but at the same time the addition of natural wood for the dresser and the baskets warms the atmosphere. I also love the bed linen with that cushions . Simplicity is perfection💕 lots of love from Italy💕

[@cherylbalint3083]

Emma and Simon, you've done it again! This room is beautiful and serene. I loved the video of you sanding with a lovely manicure! You aren't afraid to dig in, get dirty and get the job done. Another fantastic accomplishment!

[@tulsabrit671]

Emma love the room, when you do a video I think it would be great to give us a night time view with the lights on. xo

Wow Emma ! What a transformation , very simple yet sleek and calm . You’re right painting everything the same colour works , unifies the scheme . Perfect .

[@sharonlindner4468]

As usual you outdid yourself in your minimalist manner. I love the entire room and everything you added to it. The room is very inviting and would be a great place to have a good night's sleep. Thanks for sharing and encouraging my minimalist style as well.🥰

[@jillblunt692]

Yet another wonderful transformation Emma, a beautiful and tranquil space. Love the blind idea! Have a great weekend 😊

[@SandiD1959]

Love this room, so calming. The warm neutral colours make it feel so welcoming. Another stool on the other side will finish it off perfectly. Love your style Emma!

[@donnabenson1436]

Absolutely gorgeous, love the paint colour Joanna , will be using this colour in my living room, as Ive been looking for about 6 months for colour, couldn't decide but after seeing your spare room make over, Im sold... So thank you... Hugs from Donna xx here on the Wirral 💕 🏡

obsessed with how the room came out! it's got such a calming and cosy vibe now

Wow 🤩 amazing I always love watching these renovations and makeovers. Like your old home too. If we both lived at the same country definitely would hire you guys to do my home 😄. Is great seeing you both so motivated and enjoying doing home makeovers. I feel not all couples are in the same sync at times.

Oh we are very in sync, we are basically one entity 😆

Lovely to see you guys again! Love the transformation, I’m surprised you weren’t into that cornflour blue though 🤔 it’s so you 😜 The room looks calm, serene and a bright light space for you guys and your guests now.

[@AnnMargaretCP]

Absolutely stunning guest room on a realistic budget but to avoid a grubby wall (and a cold, uncomfortable back), I would recommend a headboard for the bed.

[@coolpersonlolollloll3540]

Everything looks amazing

[@seriouslyinsanediva]

That is a very calming room, indeed. So warm and inviting. At first, the wall colour looked beige. Then, when dry it looked more like a light almond shade? It's amazing how many whites there are and what a difference it makes when you slightly change the hue.

[@EmmaHill]

The beauty of ‘Joanna’ is that it changes throughout the day as the light changes. It has so much depth which is why I’ve used it all over the house 🙊

[@seriouslyinsanediva]

Beautiful room Emma, so calming. I know you don’t want bedside table matching, but so annoying as a guest when you don’t have somewhere to put your charger, water, book etc.

[@EmmaHill]

We don’t have anyone ‘booked’ in as of yet and I will get something for the other side but I’m in no rush to put something there that I don’t like. I’d rather wait until the right thing comes along x

[@klimtkahlo]

So so good!!! Perfect! I did the one night table because I also dislike matching things but I now feel I do need a table on the other side. I have little space so I am still looking for thin and fall night tables.

[@EmmaHill]

Yeh I’ll probably get something else for the other side so both sides have something to put their phone on or a glass of water but I’m in no rush. I’ll keep my eyes peeled and if something comes up and we can afford it then I’ll get it x

Hi, impressive. Please for the electric blinds do you have to have a power socket close by to plug it in? How does it work?

[@patriciahealey3924]

Follow the link above, its rechargeable.

[@EmmaHill]

The blinds are re-chargeable so don’t need to be plugged in. The app tells you the battery status so you know when to charge it, like a Ring Doorbell if you have one of those 👍🏼

You’re brave to paint without a dropcloth, I always get little paint speckles on the floors from the roller. They can be a pain to remove after they dry.

[@ceri_noyce]

Lovely! 4 years a go I painted our brown upvc front door with zinsser All Coat in black. IT IS AMAZING!!! Best £20 I’ve ever spent, there isn’t 1 mark on it and even trades people often don’t believe I’ve painted it. There was plenty left and I used it on our garage door too. Just an idea if you want to paint your windows frame x

[@EmmaHill]

I’ve considered it but I don’t think it’s worth the time and effort because there’s no way to remove the leading, it double glazing so the lead is not only on the outside but also between the two panes of glass. The leading bothers me more than the colour so it just seems a bit pointless in this case x

[@lucieduquette645]

Love your style, totally my vibe. From Canada

[@lilylilylily95]

Such a dramatic difference! 😍 May I ask how you got the bed right up to the window with that weird step in the way? Did you cut those two legs shorter by the height of the step?

[@jgray4234]

Beautiful Emma and Simon. The two of you together with the skills you have work so well. Those rechargeable lights, what a great idea! I also like the dresser that was in there before I saw under the window. Where did you end up moving it? From a house to a beautiful home. 🏡🤎🤍🖤
