MISTAKES WE MADE AND REGRETS WE HAVE FROM OUR HOME RENOVATION PROJECT

[@maree8470]

I love your ensuite window! It's not too late to recess the mirror cabinet into the wall given it's plaster board and not tile!! Great vid....

[@Jessroseparr]

You’re so right! I think it’s going to be on list of things to do eventually 🤣

[@dammyo.9652]

just want to say this colour looks SO good on you!! thanks for the vid x

[@Jessroseparr]

Thank you so much xx

After watching this I have just looked at my bathroom sinks that are being plumbed in tomorrow and wondering if they are too shallow. Your house looks great you should be really proud there will always be things you want to change.

[@Jessroseparr]

ahh thanks so much!! ooh I hope they went in ok? I don't think a shallow sink is too much of a problem its just if you have anything hung above it that can get in the way of face / hand washing.

[@AmsNl2BcnEs]

5:12 - take a notch out of the green shelving unit on both sides so looks intentional but gives more access to side of dryer panel ?

[@jaymac-uu8vt]

Perhaps you could use a Billy bookcase with doors for the shallow side - they are 26 cm deep without the doors about 30 cm deep with them. The Pax wardrobes are 350 deep without the doors. Perhaps have all hanging space long and short on the deep side and shelves on the shallow side!

[@Jessroseparr]

Wow that is such a fantastic idea. I LOVE IT!!! And great shout having folded stuff in the Billy. I can’t wait to get started on this now.

Such a helpful video! We're looking to get two silent extractor fans installed in our bathrooms as well. Do you know the brand of the one your electrician recommended by any chance?

[@janettethatcher4257]

I know what you mean with the extractor fan! Ours operates on humidity but it comes on randomly and stays on for ages when we have a change in the weather!!! I think you've done a great job on your house, I've loved following what you have done, very brave! And getting through very awkward times, well done both 👍😁

[@Jessroseparr]

Ahhh thanks so much!!! Haha yes the extractors always feel like they’re on in our house too haha

[@domenicogriessel8138]

Do you have a light switch and extractor fan switch? Doesn’t look like it but our builder oddly advised us we needed them

[@lightx500]

5:12 you can get it plumbed, so there will be no need to empty it go to drain direct :)

[@Lenka-gv2vs]

Fantastic video, thank you. About the bathroom pocket door - is it soundproof?

[@chiratoch]

Oooo yes would love a "best bits" video too!

[@Jessroseparr]

Yay ok fab I’ll film it this week xx

[@stephanieleye3232]

Actually what I will be doing in my newbuild bathroom is painting every wall in that washable paint and then going over it in a kind of stippling motion with a super matte paint in the same color creating some kind of lime wash effect, which is still easy to wipe down👌🏽

[@Jessroseparr]

ohhh LOVE this idea! so you have the durability and beautiful lime wash texture!

[@jmk1962]

"We learn from our mistakes". Great idea to do this video and I would love to see one on the things that you love and that work well too. I agree about quality taps. Cheap ones just don't last and always need replacing. Washable paint is an easy one to rectify especially if you plan on having children and sticky fingers as well as Winnies shaking. The different coloured light switches is a strange one, not that I'd noticed in the videos, but now that you've pointed it out, .... why? You've done an amazing job and those few errors are to be expected as you learn your trade. Have you had the house re-valued since the Reno? Would love to hear how much it is worth now compared to before.

[@Jessroseparr]

So so true! I won’t be making any of these mistakes next time 🤣🤣 I know I still look around at the light switches like WHY?! Another thing I think I’ll change as we need to get an electrician to sort the switch in the garden office so whilst they’re here I may give them more work to do lol. Yes we did! It has almost doubled in value! But we need to remember we spent almost £200k on it so that’s not all profit.

[@jmk1962]

@@Jessroseparr - Wow that's great news but you need to live there for at least 5 years to enjoy it after all that hard work.

[@evelinajakstas1955]

I used your advice to buy good quality taps and went for Crosswater. Very happy with them! Where is the living room ceiling lamp from?

[@Jessroseparr]

Ahhh that’s so so good to hear! I really love crosswater taps - not that I have experience of them in my own house 🤣🤣 but my parents have them! The ceiling light is form west elm called “champignon”

[@evelinajakstas1955]

@@Jessroseparr thank you! Ah, I wish they delivered in Europe but it will definitely be an inspiration for my living room lamp 😊

[@sues6384]

Look at Decorates on line, they do a washable Matt mixed to any colour

[@Jessroseparr]

That’s so great thank you! I’ll check it out

You can get a slimmer medicine cabinet from Ikea with mirror. Simple and they are not expensive or you can get a mirror and be creative with the staff you have in the medicine cabinet. If you have cosmetics you can get a basket lets say. I agree with the eggshell paint but it is easy update. The house is lovely, no need to change anything right away but change the thing that bothers you the most. For me is the medicine cabinet right now. Hope to create the best memories. ❤❤❤❤❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@Jessroseparr]

Thanks so much!! Love this idea I’m going on ikea now to have a look 🤣

[@emmaford7590]

Lovely video and some great tips for someone in the process of buying their first home with renovation needed. Also, has anyone ever said you look like SJP? X

[@Jessroseparr]

so glad it was helpful! haha no I've not heard that before but I love it!

[@jaiyana73]

Pull the dryer & washing machine out a touch, problem solved

[@JensenPGATourDriven]

Great Content Jee thanks for sharing 👊

[@Jessroseparr]

thanks so much!

[@meljacobs4227]

What's the difference between eggshell and silk paint? I thought eggshell was wood paint? X

[@Jessroseparr]

Eggshell has less sheen to it. Traditionally its used for woodwork but it can also be used on walls if you want a matt look but with a tough coating.

Love your green shirt Jess! Where is it from?

[@Jessroseparr]

Thank you!!! It’s from Primark! Went in for cycling shorts and came out with this loud number 🤣

[@pilkers745]

Can't you just turn down the speed on the extractor fan to make it quieter

[@Jessroseparr]

We tried and it’s still so loud 😅

[@pilkers745]

@@Jessroseparr Ah that's a shame.
