Please don’t put brass sockets and switches with Crome fittings. Stick with Crome as it’s a totally separate room so it won’t matter that it’s different. I think you will regret mixing them. It is all looking fantastic and I can’t wait to see the end result x

Hiya Freya, watched this video a bit late, but omg it was worth the wait. Things are looking really good and you now can visualise what the basement will look like. I think your right about the light switches and plug sockets, it will drive you mad if you go with brushed brass, even though they match the rest of the house they will stand out like a sore thumb against the chrome. Shutters look amazing, really finish off the room.😊

Hi Freya. I can honestly admit that I’m useless at working out building plans but it’s becoming clearer as work progresses on your renovations. You are really courageous living in your house whilst mayhem surrounds you and I admire your fortitude and patience. I think it’s a little easier when you know you’re going to have a gorgeous home when it’s finished.The fun part is the decor but making the right choices is always quite a challenge. I really enjoy your renovation videos and Barney is amazing and always looks happy and content.💖🌸

Hi Fraya, hello from your Canadian subscriber. You can certainly mix metals. There is no right or wrong way, it's a matter of taste and preference. However, mixing metals such as chrome, Brushed brass, Brushed Nickel is all good. Hopes this helps.

Hi there Freya. Well I have spent this whole video trying to think of what to say to you and all I can say is WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!It is looking so good and will be absolutely fantastic when it is finished and I love the shutters you have had put in. You definitely have a good sense of style (by the way I would have white switch platers etc in the utility rather than the antique brass) and the layout of the utility is fab. However, your dog is another thing - he is GORGEOUS and I love the way he was holding his lead while you were talking at the end. bless his heart - he has such a lovely little face. I bet you cant wait until it is all finished - I know I cant :-). Looking forward to your next video. Love you you, Tom and of course Barney xx xx

Very interesting vlog Freya when our extension was built we had Block and beam floor which we finished with Kardean flooring Love you choice of tiles. We have brushed stainless steel sockets in the Extention in the hall white this was by accident as we had nit specified otherwise but also economical as its set out only two plugs can just be seen we may change them later but for now it's worked out fine the position of plugs is more important Also if you think about it the basement is going to be mostly a private area so to save abit of money I personally would go with chrome or brush steel sockets Cannot wait for the next update things will definitely more alot faster now all the ground work is done x

Hi Freya, think it would be better if you you match your sockets and switches to your taps. If not you could change all your taps and knobs back to the brass if you want brass sockets and switches. I certainly would not mix the two finishes. It’s all coming together and the end result will be so worth the wait. Love your shutters have they made the room much darker? can you open the whole shutters if you wanted to? I’d like to see what they look like from the outside if you can in another vlog please xx
