I love the dark floors. They will look cosy when the furniture is all in place. And wood floors upstairs are also fine. So much easier to keep clean and dust free than carpets! And since you asked, I wouldn’t sand down the beams in the kitchen. It looks just fine as is.

[@ruthie2222]

You should be really proud of yourself. How sensible to downsize and not rush into doing anything straight away. Only the essentials first. Well done, it’s a beautiful home 😊

[@leannejayne3545]

That's so kind, thanks Ruthie! I’m so glad we made this move, peace of mind & security is priceless xx

[@hayleygrimston51]

Downsizing is our next plan , my husband retires at Christmas so we really need to free up the money that is tied up in our current property. Your new house looks great .X

@@hayleygrimston51 That would be fantastic if you could downsize, peace of mind and security really is so important isn't it, thanks so much Hayley x

Congrats on your new house. You will soon have it looking lovely and your own. I agree take your time and grow into the house first. Financial freedom is wonderful. Looking forward to seeing what you do .

Thank you so much, Ros! It's such a great feeling to have no debt (apart from the mortgage) ❤x

[@sarahyee6518]

I love the house Leanne! I would definitely sand back those beams in the kitchen. Maybe do a patch to see what you are working with and if it's worth the time. M&S bean are a game changer! We were Heinz all the way till we tried these. 49p own brand M&S and lovely same with the plum tomatoes (we are the same always use plum and not chopped). I cant wait to see what you do with the house xx

[@leannejayne3545]

Hey Sarah! I'm really happy that you love the house, It's starting to feel like home now, and we're so excited to put our stamp on the place. I'll definitely give the M&S beans a try, thanks a lot! Xx

This is beautiful - that fireplace is absolutely stunning. We also just moved to give us more financial freedom - best decision ever ! Although we technically didn't downsize - but we moved from South Essex - up to the Midlands - So we got more for our money. Rooms are smaller but we now have a garage and huge garden and cut our Mortgage by two thirds - a whopping reduction. It will take us years to renovate though lol

[@leannejayne3545]

That's amazing! So admirable, I am so glad we decided to make this move xx

[@crazyorangejelly]

I think the house is lovely and ideal for a slow project. Enjoy the process. Ive seen beams (your kitchen) painted a light brown, like milky chocolate and thought they looked really nice once. Good luck

[@leannejayne3545]

Great idea! I'm very keen to get that wood effect xx

[@Gary_Luke]

House looks great Leanne. I would definitely sand the beams back to the original wood!

[@leannejayne3545]

Yes, I think we will 👍 thanks Gary, have a great weekend!

What a lovely video to watch this morning. We did a similar thing and downsized but the consumer debt is creeping back up😢

[@leannejayne3545]

I’m so pleased you enjoyed it! Ah it’s so hard! Myself & my husband are over spenders at heart, so I know how difficult it is! I'm not great at practicing patience xx

[@susanhowlette8560]

We down sized paid off the mortgage and my husband was able to retire 6 years early as we could build a nest egg up with no debt or mortgage

[@leannejayne3545]

Wow! That sounds amazing. I really want that for us too. Thanks, Susan! X

[@tubular07143]

New subscriber here, hi 👋 Can I make a suggestion…perhaps you could get some nice large rugs instead of carpet? That way if there’s a spill then you can just replace that piece rather than the entirety of it. Also, I think that you can deglaze the tiles to change the color. We did the same years ago….sold our big house and paid off all of our debt. Now our next goal is to make the big move from across the pond 😉

[@leannejayne3545]

Hey! Welcome! Thanks so much for your suggestions, we’ll be getting a large rug for the lounge area & keeping the wooden floors downstairs for now 👍 Ah are you moving to the 🇬🇧? Where are you currently? Thanks for watching x

Those main level floors are beautiful! Maybe sand them down to lighten them up? My opinion is leave the kitchen beams as is. Lovely home!

I’d love to know what conversations you’ve had with your littlest in particular and how to explain money to young kids ❤

[@leannejayne3545]

Hi Katie, that's a great question! Sometimes we find it challenging because we love to spoil her, but we try to teach her the value of hard work, taking care of our belongings, and being grateful for what we have. Recently, we started using a piggy bank to help her save for things she wants. I'm happy to discuss this topic further in an upcoming video. xx❤️

[@alysoncocking1236]

Just change the lock on the front door.

[@leannejayne3545]

Hey Alyson, thanks for your suggestion about changing the lock. We did talk about it, but we're actually thinking of replacing the whole door. It's pretty heavy since it's a stable door, and we'd love something with larger glass panels to brighten up the house and hallway. Xx

[@denisecarter5117]

I would have your oldest have the upstairs loft as her room and you in hers just because I want to not have my kids a floor away.

@@denisecarter5117 I agree! Sadly our bed didn't fit in her room & my husband refused to switch from a King size to a double 😅 xx
