Thanks so much for watching! 🤗 Remember to comment your thoughts on the colour for our DIY kitchens office units… 💬 See you in the next one!! 👋🏻

[@giovannapurkis6138]

Sage green xx

[@ruthiesmith8012]

definitely the corn flower blue, loving what you have done so far! Xx

[@contactjd]

Green!

[@susanlecuirot1573]

Whilst I love the green it may be too dark in the room. I think for a workspace too, I’d go for the corn flower , it seems more “office like” and lighter. Is there a window in the room ? 🙂

[@lucablair]

Hi guys,where did you get your solar lantern outside light's and are they any good, thank you Richard from Carlisle.

[@JasmineMullins16]

I think the blue units in the office would look perfect, the light blue colour will complement the coziness and help to give the room a spacious, airy aesthetic. Xx ☁️ 🩵

[@NickyandHarri]

Thanks Jasmine. A lot of people saying the same and loving the cornflower blue, it seems to be the favourite atm for sure! 🙌🏻

[@leslietarboxjr4287]

You two are awesome and are doing a super great job on your mansion. Love your carpet choice and the rooms and stairs look great with it. The bedrooms and beds are beautiful and cozy. On the outhouse I would keep it light and bright to make it look larger and lighter than it is. I feel the green would have a shrinking effect and feel really closed in. The fencing and driveway turned out really nice and will be a blessing from the muddy mess you had. Well, as I close out here, I may have a tear or two running down my cheek for I have to wait a whole two weeks to see what greatness you have completed on your mansion. I hope you know that at my age this is quite a chore for I may not have that many days, weeks, months, years or decades left so it is always a monumental blessing when I get to see your next video. LOL. Have a blessed two weeks.

[@NickyandHarri]

Awh thanks Leslie, your comments are always one of the favourite parts of our Sundays! 💙 We really appreciate you hyping us up and we do wish we could bring you more regular episodes. But with all the work in the house and then finding time to film and edit, it really isn’t possible atm! Thanks for your advice on the outhouse, I think we’re agreeing with you on that one to make sure the space feels bigger! Have a great week or 2 and we’ll see you in the next one 🥰

[@leslietarboxjr4287]

@@NickyandHarri All is good. I was just teasing you on the two-week thing. I know it is a lot of work making videos and editing them while also working on the house. You two are great and are well worth the two weeks wait. Have an awesome two weeks.

[@johnthomson1579]

What about insulation in the out house office? Some small acres on garden. Spires is good. All year round colour. Hardy fuchsia is attractive in summer. Generally get small shrubs rather than medium which will grow too big for your garden. Shrubs generally last longer than perennials.

[@mollierichardson638]

I think cornflower blue as it’s only a little space so with a lighter colour it will make it feel more spacious. When your working you wanna feel relaxed and calm and I think the cornflower blue is the perfect colour for it

[@NickyandHarri]

Thanks Mollie, that is what we love about the cornflower blue- defo gives off a great calming vibe! 🥰

[@HelenWhitcombe-xj3mb]

Loved this episode guys, think it’s the best one of the series so far. Can’t wait to see the home office renovation.

[@NickyandHarri]

Thanks you Helen, that means so much! was there a particular reason you enjoyed this one more, so we know for future episodes?😊🥰

[@TDCgroundworks]

It was a pleasure working with you guys! The video has turned out great 👌 Good luck with the rest of the project!

[@NickyandHarri]

Pleasure was ours guys, thanks for your persistence through the cold and windy weather! Hopefully we'll cross paths again in the future. :)

[@sophiehorsley3447]

Gosh I don't know where to start - you've done so much! First of all my favourite bit has to be 2:35 Blanche White! Granny will love hearing Harri speak French! Well done for fitting the carpets (almost yourselves)! You'll be so happy you went for the thickest underlay. Lovely to see Danni and Jonny mucking in! I reckon Cornflower Blue would be good for the outside office. It will double up as an outdoor entertaining area. Maybe stick a beer fridge in there! I think sprucing up the front door and a decent light will enhance the porch area, and some nice plants on the right under the window will make a big difference to the approach to your house. P.S. Lovely beds!

[@JoycePreston-cl5wv]

Cornflower blue for the office. Great video again Harry and Nikki. Xx

[@NickyandHarri]

Thanks Joyce, see you in the next one!! 😀 x

[@sarahburgess-hamlett212]

Heritage green, because it would fit ice as an alternative garden bar ?

Wow!!! What a marvellous transformation. Going to have to view your videos from the beginning over the weekend. Well done to the both of you!

[@harleymac6308]

Hi Nicky & Harri 👋 I have to say the carpets & beds are absolutely beautiful. I love how the panelling can be seen through the very uniquely designed headboard. The panelling on stairs, wow, it looks so amazing! What a tremendous job of the driveway too. Welll done to the amazing team. 👏 I'm having some panelling done in a spare room today. Unfortunately I'm unable to do it as I've broken my arm. I prefer the cornflower blue for the outdoor office space. It looks fresh & airey. I really enjoy your videos. Take care ❤x

[@NickyandHarri]

Thanks Harley, really appreciate your comment. Awesome that you’re getting some paneling done yourself, even if you can’t physically DIY it, sure it will look great! Another vote in for cornflower blue (which seams to be flying ahead right now!!) See you in the next one 🙌🏻💙

No worries Neil, they've got some cracking beds in their range, you'll have to make sure you ban the cat from the bedroom once you get a new bed! Thanks for the comment and we'll see you in the next one 😀

Cracking job guys! Absolutely stunning, and such a reward for all your hard work and dedication to the project! Cannot get over EVERYTHING you've done since getting the keys, and hey £2k over on a job like this, that's nothing!! Nice added extra with the garden office! Catch you on the next one!

Love to see you guys giving the plastering a go. Seems like you guys went on the same journey as we did, started with getting professionals in for it and then as the funds start to dwindle and you gain more confidence having done the rest of the building work you decide ah well how hard can it be and give it a whirl...

[@georgiayeatman3267]

I think the lighter blue units to lighten up the dark space and I love the Belle oak bed. The place is looking great! X

[@tillyroberts4028]

Love the beds they look so cosy!!! I would go for the lighter colour

[@NickyandHarri]

Thanks Tilly!! 🤗

[@virginiaalderson4793]

Cornflower blue. It’s a small space so using lighter colours will keep it looking more spacious and less dingey. Lighting will be important too.

[@NickyandHarri]

I think we’re leaning to the blue too. Completely agree about it being better to open up the space more!

[@ajbaggaley]

You guys are smashing this! Should be very proud of how far you have come, considering how limited your knowledge was when you began to what this house is turning into

[@NickyandHarri]

Thanks Adam, we defo came into the renovation relatively blind, but willing to learn! Think we’ve caught the Reno bug now🐞

[@nasimakhtar7655]

Just found your channel where did you get brick slips from? You done good job of your kitchen design.

[@carbongrip2108]

Hmmm... I would have made a pathway from the front door to the street out of the same pavers you used for the patio. Would just look nice and give you a way to not have to walk on the gravel drive when going for a walk. Also maybe need a light above the front door where that metal sign bracket is.

[@NickyandHarri]

Hmmm, maybe that’s something we should have considered. A light is definitely going to be installed above the front door! 👍🏻

[@carbongrip2108]

@@NickyandHarri You could buy like 4 of the pavers and do them just under the entry overhang that way the gravel isn't so close to the door 😃

[@thesolitaryadventurer]

My gut says cornflour blue for the lightness in a smaller enclosed space... You could drag light to the back with a cleverly placed mirror on the back wall of course so either colour will look lovely. But my first instinct was to go lighter. Keep it up, it's looking fantastic. And H is right - the structural stuff is just the start isn't it? The fit and finish is the lengthy bit. Not unlike vans.

[@NickyandHarri]

Thanks very much, another vote in the bag for cornflower blue! 💙 Glad you’re enjoying the series and you’re spot on, the structural stuff really just is the beginning and took us WAY longer than expected! 🙂

[@stephcarlin9729]

The light colour with it being a small space.

[@SevyShasha]

Why not better insulate and skylight the outhouse?

[@andreanelson5348]

I cannot wait to see the garden office completed. Will it be ok with no insulation? I love both cabinet colours but I'm choosing the cornflour blue. Keep up the great work 😊

[@juliebrooke6099]

Did you insulate the out building before you finished the walls? It would make it more usable year round.

[@NickyandHarri]

Unfortunately we’re literally out of budget at this point, and it would have cost us an extra £300 or so, so unfortunately not!

[@AnnaAnnaTT]

cornflower blue is tranquil and restful and more charming than the alternative

As a plasterer for 20year that was a painful watch pal fair play for having ago but hey its harder than it looks isn't it 😂 looks easy watching a professional fair play mate

[@AnnaAnnaTT]

re the small front garden - remove the tired and unloved roses that have not been well looked after. A new rose must Not be planted in soil that previously held a rose. But roses are a good choice. So first remove the old worn out tired soil at the front. Take out a depth of 18 inches of that old soil along with the sad struggling plants. Put that old degraded soil down the back. Then replace that removed too-tired soil with a 6 inches cover of with some good quality compost topped with 12 inches of a quality seed-raising mix- (the latter is often superior to an "any old potting soil" - the latter is often too full of old rotted wood/now sawdust. Then plant row of lovely new David Austin low floribuna roses in various colours - will look glorious in spring summer and early autumn with a rest period for the roses when the weather is super cold

[@UltimateLonerReacts]

you guys are great!

[@Jules_Pew]

I'd put a window in the outhouse. Make sure it's in a position that doesn't create glare on a monitor.

[@NickyandHarri]

We’re going to save some money on that I think and not install a window! We’ll make sure we have a window in the new door though to let some natural light in! 🙂

[@alexeveleigh2435]

The heritage green is a gorgeous colour but maybe use that elsewhere. I think you need something light in the outbuilding / office so go for the cornflour blue
