Living room renovations begin... ripping up carpet and tearing out the fireplace - many surprises!

Join us as we start the renovations on our 1-bed maisonette flat in Slough, near London. We started with the living room... First job was the rip out the carpets and see what was underneath. The retro electric fireplace had to come out too.

Great to see you guys again! I was wondering how you were doing! Good luck!

[@herrnoncrafts]

What would your journey be without projects?………BORING😅

[@NaomiandJack]

Honestly haha 😂

[@RosadeBoer]

'Two people trying to make the best with what they have' , that's also what I loved about your Sweden video's. Its real and inspires in a realistic way!

[@axelramonklint3605]

Renovating old houses always gives surprises. Layers of history lays hidden underneath the surfaces. I've been renovating flats in Copenhagen that were from around 1890-1900. The living room and the dorms are the easiest. It's the toilet and kitchen that's going to be the hassle and cost a lot of time and money.

[@NaomiandJack]

We are definitely leaving those till last hoping to get that done professionally because we are to scared to deal with electrics and water haha

[@keciabrown7455]

I know the project is probably completed by now. I have seen you guys go to work before so I know the end product will totally exceed prior projects. Look forward to the unveiling. Even Lola is curious. Would be interesting to find out the history behind the open floor door. Txs,

[@enidclarke6258]

I've always enjoyed the project u guys embark on. I can't wait to see the next faze..❤😊

[@jbills3000]

I loved this! Keep sharing if you have time 🙂

[@merryllthomas808]

All the best guys! You will do well

[@tanyahermann3431]

I sanded my floor years ago, I used a darker red stain. I really should have put about 2-4 coats of varnish though, my mistake! Your flat is great and it will look awesome when you get done.

[@marciawynn9871]

Lola is Beautiful

[@alinafakin370]

I do not envy you! But it's a nice place if you subtract all the hard work that has to go in. Good luck!

[@paulachin9130]

The fireplace with an electruc fire behind the glass would look amazing, can't believe people covered up that flooring. You can have it sanded down and stain to whatever colour you want.

[@georgiabrown8457]

Good job guys, am so happy that you both decided to start from the living room, you will through it, remember when you bought a house in Sweden and you both really really work hard on it and it was beautiful 🙏🏿❤💕

[@misdebicakes3475]

Hey guys. I'm so excited about this journey. Thank you, for allowing me to tag along. Great to see gorgeous Lola.

[@vswild7005]

Hey you’ve already done a great job (at least) once before, so I have no doubt it’ll turn out cozy and beautiful ❤

[@Anderslisa90]

Since I live in Sweden, I know how important insulation is. Your wooden floor doesn't seem to have any insulation at all?! Here there had been at least 30 cm of insulation, and then the wooden floor. The insulation was the canvas and the carpet, incredibly little. The floor should be cold and drafty in winter. Have you thought about it? It doesn't feel like the wood floor was meant to be exposed. But I agree with you that it is much nicer than the dirty carpet. Good luck with the renovation!!👍😎💥

[@Ragnar8504]

Yes, the UK is and especially was amazingly nonchalant about insulation under floors. The space underneath is probably even ventilated to the outside, so windy winter nights could be brutal. Adding that is essential for comfort.

[@Danchris345]

An exciting journey though

[@Skattie]

What ever you do its worth it ❤

[@nickukiah810]

So nice to watch other people working and not having to lend a hand! :-) I'm sure it'll be beautiful. To be honest, it already looks much better than before, after Day 1.

[@hibiscusrose6074]

Okay, where is the kitty? Blind I am she was atop the sofa lol😂😂😂

[@lanclincunningham12]

I know how hard it is in the beginning of home ownership.If u get it done professionally it will be to ur advantage.

[@brendasnow8255]

Varnish/ polyurethane darkens, if that’s on there. They’re probably waxed, though.

[@IAmAvon3726]

Hi Naomi, I am a new subscriber here and I am loving your content.

[@cynthial5901]

Your renovation looks nice. Can't wait to see the end project.

[@leonduplessis]

I can only hope you have better luck with the rest of the flat. I enjoy home reno videos as it gives me ideas about what I can do in my flat. I cannot wait to see the final product.

[@ruthgreene3100]

Enjoy the journey it will be beautiful when completed 💚

[@albertinadacosta1077]

My favourite KZbin couple. That's my concept of living life and I just love seeing them doing it 😊❤

[@olgamartha5727]

Doing your best is much better than doing nothing! Team work “works”!! I’d love to see the finished result! 😊

[@josephinelindabrown312]

Good luck with your renovation journey. You two are doing a brilliant job.

[@o.l.austin3642]

I love "ALL" of the videos from you two. May the Most High God continue to bless your union and your projects 😅.

[@JayyBee5557]

Intrepid !!! Cant help but admire you guys

[@lorrainebarrett77]

You both have DIY experience from Sweden So are we going to have a bit of Sweden in your design?

[@mbuck5044]

So happy you can rehab those beautiful wood floors! I hate carpet and had it removed when I purchased my condominium 😊 Looking forward to renovation vlogs😊

[@darriendastar3941]

I swear, I lose more weight watching you two work than I do from making a three-mile hike to and from my local Co-op. You seem to be making all the right design decisions, too. I'd say 'Keep up the good work', but as there is a time-lag between you making the videos and putting them on KZbin, I assume all the good work is done by now and you're at the stage of seeing something you missed, narrowing your eyes, pursing your lips and wondering if it's worth the effort. 🙂

[@NaomiandJack]

Haha I'm sure that hike is doing wonders. I ended up gaining weight during the renovations.. lots of ording food when your busy working 😅 Sadly most of the work is done but in a few weeks we will be up to date👯‍♀️ thank you for watching your kind words xx

[@marcellejosephine9119]

Always love a renovation! Great to see you two again😊🌷

[@MycThePoet]

Taking the chisel to the floor gave me a heart attack lol. Get a catspaw and/or wonder bar lol.

[@AnaViolinViola]

You are such a great team and you can achieve anything 👍! :)

[@jacquelinemadoo2616]

Have fun with your renovations. Both of you are very gifted and intuitive and remembering the renovations that were done in Sweden. Can't wait to see the finished product. Stay safe.

[@ruinunes8251]

The excitement of the renovation is a nice thing. I would give a nice sanding on that floor in order to have a good key for the new product to hold on. Enjoy the dust. 😀

[@MsJanmarie]

You guys are so cool to watch👍🏾

[@udawyma1682]

Am enjoying your rehab of beautiful new home!

[@paulacook5854]

That new carpet that you ripped out was gorgeous and meant as extra insulation 😢

[@kellsvlogs7930]

Cannot wait to see it all. Great job guys you both doing an amazing job at it ❤️

[@AnnaMuzaza]

Looking forward to seeing more of the reno videos...

[@oceejekwam6829]

Respect to Jack..." - Mr Get it done".

[@schoolingdiana9086]

I was talking to my 23yo son while deleting emails on my phone, when the alert popped up. 😂The annoyed look on his face when I exclaimed, “Oooohhh! A Naomi & Jack video!!!,” and immediately clicked on it. Now that I’ve watched it, I can’t remember what he was trying to tell me. Whoops, lol. I better go find out. Can’t wait for the next one! Btw, not having a vapor barrier under the house (right on top of the dirt) increases heating costs. That’s a super low clearance crawl space. I suggest asking Jack’s dad for advice on the one, too. The fireplace has def seen better days.

[@kookietherapy9398]

I'd blow insulation under there.

[@evalinawarne1337]

Last time I saw your vlog you were taking off one year of nursing school. Then you moved out of a LOVELY HOME that you both fixed up, Plus a garage. Was it in Switzerland ❓What are you doing now❓

[@NaomiandJack]

Hey hey, so I am now nearly done with medical school just a few more months till I starting working, super excite dI had to come back to England for that but, during our year out we did spend some time fixing our little sweedish how
