RENOVATION SERIES | EPISODE 3 🏠 MOVING VLOG & PERIOD PROPERTY HOUSE UPDATES

[@tv-ep5gl]

Feel sorry for the red shed - could perhaps have gone to a loving new home 😂

[@FreyaFarrington]

I know it was sad to see it go, but it was badly damaged/broken on one side and onto the back too

[@deniselamb8859]

I love these renovation series' what a difference each day makes. I love seeing it all come together, you look so happy and excited and I can't wait for series 4. The garden is huge Freya, you could get a pretty girl shed and deck it out with pretty things, I love girl sheds, lol. Or make a patio area with outdoor couches and a table, but what ever you do I know it will be beautiful both in the garden and in your home. x

[@kaz6655]

I would plant blue bells under the group of trees so it’s like a mini wood. A good secure fence is a must so fur baby can run around in the garden safe and on his own. I’m really enjoying your renovation series

[@valeriehill6382]

I’m so excited for you, well done you for being so chilled throughout all of the renovations 👏🏼 Barney is going to love his garden/park, it’s huge, lol, take care and thank you for sharing 🤩

[@FreyaFarrington]

haha I'm trying! he will!

[@christianedickson2880]

Loving the renovations and you garden will look amazing! Think the bulb you found was probably a daffodil or tulip bulb. ☺️

[@klc5876]

Really enjoying your updates! Thank you for sharing!

[@sandrathwaitesbuckingham6839]

It's coming along really well. Can't wait to see the next episode. Will just say your gardeners/builders should have taken the glass out of the shed beforehand. It's like if you break a glass inside, you never get it all. However, your garden is absolutely huge. Hopefully we get some nice weather so you can enjoy it. x

[@FreyaFarrington]

thank you! noted!

[@Olea.C]

the beauty of old houses are big gardens !

[@FreyaFarrington]

I do love this house!

[@flowergalpower2681]

You could put in raised veggie gardens in wooden large boxes and hang herbs on new fence your putting in. Put in windy walk ways in back yard with flowers along it .

[@lyndseyratcliffe6680]

Loving watching the renovation process. So excited to see the finished rooms! It’s going to be such a stunning home 🏡💖

[@mrsfpm5554]

You can buy film (like the old Fablon or the new DC Fix) that is frosted - different patterns. Hope that helps re. your unfrosted window panes.

[@traceygoulding261]

Some bluebells, snowdrops and daffodils under the trees would be lovely in the spring x

[@FreyaFarrington]

oooh yes!

[@carlyappler9659]

Everything is coming together so well! Thanks so much for sharing all of the progress! I'm so jealous of your showers despite them not being done, I can already tell it'll be like showering at the spa every day!

[@FreyaFarrington]

eeeek can't wait!

[@mandyjolil6069]

They should of took the glass out of the shed window knowing you have a dog, you have a huge garden cannot wait to see what you do with it sending hugs from Hertfordshire x

[@FreyaFarrington]

yes barney is on a garden ban until its cleaned up!

[@meljacobs4227]

Should have....

[@Michelle-mb4td]

So much progress being made your home and garden is going to be amazing good luck Freya Tom and Barney 🤗

[@teeteeiren9748]

Happy for You and Tom and excited that things are starting to progress more rapidly!!! You've had such an amazing attitude since day one 💕

[@FreyaFarrington]

Trying! haha

[@vintiago]

You could do raised beds in your garden. It gives it a nice finished look and cuts down on weeding.

[@FreyaFarrington]

Yes I think eventually we definitely will!

[@josimpson7999]

Hey Freya, Alan Titchmarsh would work absolutely wonders with all that fabulous outdoor space. Why not look at some of his old programs for inspiration. I know I’d be coiling white stringed solar lights around the trunk of the trees. It would look amazing at night - especially when you’re relaxing in your jacuzzi with a cheeky glass of 🍾. It’s going to be amazing.

[@FreyaFarrington]

I think I will! hahah

[@dianebaker5243]

Wow your garden looks huge and your house looks bigger. Thanks for sharing 👍🥰

[@davebarnes4418]

Freya..you are doing well amongst all that..so good at putting up with all the mess. I can't wait for episode 4! I love your massive garden too..how about a lovely circular bench wrapped around the tree trunk with lots of cushions...a cosy nook to read x

[@FreyaFarrington]

yes I'd love that!

[@gaynor3976]

It's so exciting to see it all coming together. Garden is huge but going to look great when turfed and loads of room for Barney bear to run around in. Looking good Freya xxxx

[@FreyaFarrington]

thank you lovely!

[@donnaclark2832]

I love the garden space I personally would definitely consider getting rid of those big trees to the side of the garden the roots can cause havoc with house foundations plus increase more light all round 😊

[@ireneclark3993]

This stretch always seems to last for ages all the clearing and siting everything. It will be lovely shortly,great to see all the progress.

[@FreyaFarrington]

It does feel like that! especially as the top two floors are the easier part really! haha

[@patriciaportman7933]

The bulb you found was possibly a daffodil buld if you keep 2 trees close together you could possably put up a hammock .decking to the back of the house and you would still have room for a summerhouse 😍😍

[@FreyaFarrington]

oopppsss! definitely not an onion haha

[@alisonmckenzie1415]

Wow your garden is big and will be great for Barney to run around.You have rooms Yayyy love a newly plastered wall. So exciting !!!!!! 💪🏻💪🏻

[@sharontate6625]

Loving the renovation series, house is coming on great. Are you taking all the trees out and if you are have you asked if there any preservation orders on them?

[@nuttienattie1]

You can buy etching spray for drinking glasses I believe which might be suitable for windows. Renovations are looking great x

[@gillianomeara3183]

Lol Freya thats nt a garden that a park 🤣🤣wat a difference ...so crazy 2 c plastered walls n windows the simple things in life 💕oh nt b long 2 its time 4 the pretty stuff eeeek 😊lovin these vidoes hun thanku 4 sharing take care 🥰

[@janejohnson7120]

A sense of relief is showing in your smiles now that things are "happening". Conifers are a nightmare and you can't really prune them, it's all or nothing. They look nice at 6 feet and turn into monsters. You could always buy new trees when the garden is landscaped. A good garden landscaper would give you the advice as to what will work and grow. Will save money in the long run.

[@FreyaFarrington]

yes will be very interesting to get a professional opinion!

[@lifewitht9983]

The shed looked in good condition could have sold it or given it to a free home 🏠

[@holymags2495]

Mulch under trees that don't get sun, turf will be a waste of money. Lots of excitement

[@FreyaFarrington]

thank you!

[@joannamccolvin3194]

Wonderful vlog Freya. Can't wait to see your rooms and bathrooms when they are finished. They are going to look spectacular. Your garden is huge and think you have the potential for something incredible. So happy for you both ....your home is gorgeous xx 😍

[@aliceinwonderland.2080]

Hi Freya. I love watching your renovation videos and how things are moving along- it’s very exciting for you. The garden will be amazing and give you a lot of space to have your own veggie patch. Will look forward to the next update.🧡💛🌻🌻

[@FreyaFarrington]

yay I hope so! thank you!

[@traceygoulding261]

Bluebells, snowdrops and daffodils would be amazing in the spring x

[@jennifersherwood1901]

Omg all this renovation to the house and garden must have cost You and Tom and fortune !! 😮 . It is coming along great. Now that the garden has been cleared a bit more I see it is quiet a huge garden. You should get a tree expert in and get them to trim down all the heights of the trees , which will bring you more light into the house .

[@rebenaq4506]

It really is coming together. Your face says it all, you are glowing with excitement. Your home is going to be beautiful. X

[@paulineclare5065]

You could usr the bars off the windows as climbing frams for rose or clematis ect.Yes I made that mistake with the protection tape. You can get some one in to frost a window my daughter had her kitchen door done she lives in Manchester, its brilliant looks like frosted glass.That looks like a bulb tulips? oh yes I would take that big tree out!

[@FreyaFarrington]

yess will most likely get that!

[@lucysewell8082]

Wow, you're doing so well with renovations and the garden is amazing 😍 Have you thought of having wild flower bit for bees. Plus your garden would be great for hedgehog gaps in the fencing 😊🦔 xx

[@alitristan1933]

So excited to see the end result!

[@joannetwaddle4662]

You can buy sticker sheets of frosting for windows.

[@dvlslittleangel]

Wow exciting!! I would keep that larger tree you pointed at and put a hammock between it and the other tree! Would be lovely and shaded and provide a nice spot to relax while using your future outdoor kitchen!

[@FreyaFarrington]

cuuuuteeee we definitely want a hammock somewhere!

[@angelamuncaster3424]

Wow so much change ❤

[@joannehughes9207]

Coming on amazing x I love watching your house journey xx

[@shirleenbragoli8310]

it was tulips or daffodil bulb . but when you start gardening you will soon get the hang of it.

[@karenlavery4463]

Oh I carnt wait for the finishing touches and furniture going in so exciting times xx

[@FreyaFarrington]

that's the bit I'm excited for!

[@roxannethompson1249]

You can buy frosted sheets for your windows, even some with patterns.

[@FreyaFarrington]

yesss!

[@helen6477]

So much happened since last ep! Coming on really well, so exciting! ❤️xx

[@FreyaFarrington]

thank you!

[@nickiportsmouth5767]

Wow looking good. Can’t wait to see more! X

[@annyates7212]

Looking great!😃 I would definitely have a conservatory in your garden 🪴 x

[@pamkirby4390]

Progress is so good! 😊🇺🇸💛

[@rebeccarendle3706]

Wow.. It's coming on so far👌.. Will be great when all plastered and the floors are cleaned😁. Garden is huge🏡.. I would put chippings under the trees🌳🌲 because the grass wont grow there anywhere... And then eg ferns, bluebells etc.. So it is a beautiful mini woodland area. You need to see where the sun rises and sets, where shade and full sun is etc.. To plan what can grow where in the garden.

[@FreyaFarrington]

thank you! yes fab idea!

[@rebeccarendle3706]

@@FreyaFarrington the you tuber "Dainty Diaries" just did something similar under a big tree in her garden where no grass can grow 😊. I did the same in my garden a few years ago, with a natural pond for insects and birds, squirrels etc to drink (no chemicals, only natural pond cleaner.. Mine is peat pellets). The insects and animals love it. I also added stumps of wood to the area to make a stumpery which the insects love eg to over winter in. If you cut down that one big tree/or the one where the extension will go.. You will have loads of wood for a stumpery, fire pit, indoor wood burner etc🤗

[@sherianstanley5997]

You should keep that bathtub in the garden and plant flowers in it🌻💐🌺🥀🌹🌼🌻🌷your garden will be lovely . I bet you have some amazing ideas what your be doing to it. I cant wait to see it when it's all done.

[@FreyaFarrington]

aww what a fun idea!

[@99Narnia]

Looking forward to the garden renovation. Maybe you could go over the ground with a metal detector before you turf it. It's an old property- you never know what you might find!! Good luck with it all. x

[@FreyaFarrington]

so true!

[@juliespencer1164]

It certainly looks as though everything is taking shape, always a task to renovate. some Lavender would be nice and give your garden a nice fragrance too. Always easy to look after. xxx

[@FreyaFarrington]

would love that!!!

[@barbiebee288]

Adore these videos!!!!

[@FreyaFarrington]

Glad you like them!

[@Britsishmum7695]

Lovely to keep the trees for height and shade. You can buy the stick on frosting on Amazon x

[@FreyaFarrington]

will do!

[@60margie]

Loved this vlog especially the absolute joy on your face showing us the renovations. The turf will need to be watered daily so maybe set up a watering system. Good luck and can’t wait for the update.

[@FreyaFarrington]

yesss lots of water! and rain too that would be handy! haha it's looking that way!

[@juliekingston7057]

Brilliant,cant wait to see it all done xxx

[@minichibichi]

Please do a video on the upcoming home plans. The paint color, fixtures flooring, lights etc. I know you did one on the reno idea, but it would be great to know what the plans are now that its coming along.

[@FreyaFarrington]

yesss maybe will note that in the next one! we're getting to that sort of stage now!

[@Ni_kki__]

Looks like it’s coming along nicely Freya can’t wait see the end result! 👍🏻

[@meganfinch1354]

Coming along nicely Freya! Just wondering whether the red shed could have been air lifted and put into a skip? Or even sold as is🤷🏻‍♀️ seems impractical for them to have broken it down in the garden and smashed it to a pulp - especially since you have a pup and the glass I imagine is quite tough to remove from the soil?? Just a thought. Cannot wait to see you decorate and purchase bits for the rooms 😍 dreaaaaam house

[@FreyaFarrington]

a bit late now unfortunately! haha

[@bunnyhoney9072]

You deserve this and all the love and happiness in you’re new home.🏡💜

[@FreyaFarrington]

you're so kind!

[@elaineclare2161]

Wow it’s looking so good, such a big project! How you finding living in a renovation, we’re doing ours atm and it’s not as big and I find it hard to find a spot where you’re not reminded how much work we need to do 😂 I know will be worth it in the end xx

[@barbararyan586]

Very exciting 👏👏🌟

[@zandrajayne]

Ahh Freya the garden is looking great I love watching the progress on your home and garden. Also you have such a lovely calming voice. Look forward to your ne t update bighugs lovely xx🤗💕

[@FreyaFarrington]

awww you're so sweet thank you!

[@hello-w8y]

are you going to plant more bushes trees etc?

[@bridiewright1519]

Hi freya ,garden is huge, red shed would've been a lovely little summer house, was the house empty for long before u moved in? Xx

[@FreyaFarrington]

no idea but it was damaged unfortunately!

[@Suzieplook]

Wow its going to be amazing x

[@hollybushpub]

It looks like it's coming on a treat can't wait to see the end result 😘

[@mags127]

Amazing love all the changes the garden is so big it's all comming along so nicely,you will have a beautiful home xx mags 😊💐

[@FreyaFarrington]

thank you lovely!

[@christinasmyth5674]

Wow 😮 so exciting 👏

[@theresejackson9871]

Ye are doing a great job can’t wait to see the finish 😊

[@ceciliafairy88]

I’d remove all those conifers and get the stumps ground out, the roots are awful and you’ll find whatever you try and plant near the tree will die as the roots suck all the moisture out of the ground x

[@FreyaFarrington]

noted!

[@dawnbrick4566]

Could there have been an air raid shelter in the back garden? The bulb in the garden is a daffodil bulb

[@FreyaFarrington]

it used to be an orchard...but maybe that too who knows!

[@annescott6137]

The guy should have taken off those glass doors it's so hard to get every bit of glass lifted off the soil

[@nml1930]

Wow, so much trash in the garden😱. Progress yay 😊

[@FreyaFarrington]

I know!

[@zoepalfx6141]

Did you have to get permission from the local authority to replace your windows/doors? I’m looking to do mine but want to check I’m not spending money for the sake of it

[@Zdlifestyle]

Amazing x

[@nicholajackson276]

Most likely a daffodil bulb.

[@FreyaFarrington]

oh really! haha oops!

[@patrickgabrielmendy9337]

Awesome

[@87680]

❤️❤️❤️

[@jacquim8907]

That's not a garden it's a park. Gosh it's huge.
