Totally Magnificent Traditional Stone Room Restoration and Using Reclaimed Tomette Tiles

Here I am renovating my rear bedroom / downstairs office and soon to be incorporated shower room. The tomette tiles are reclaimed from the upstairs section of the 300 year old French farmhouse. Some of the tomette tiles need a clean using a wire brush as I decided part way through the tiling process to clean each tile by hand. Once I have cleaned the remaining few tomette tiles so they kind of match I will seal them and then grout the gaps.
Then it’s on to doing the window cill and fitting a shower room at one end of this room.

Thanks and I hope you enjoy my future videos too

[@richardschneider4775]

Beautiful work. Long hard hours. I would have used a self leveling floor base for the tiles

[@victoriaani250]

Beautiful renocation. I prefer the ceiling in apparent wood though

[@ianwood8223]

I really enjoyed this video probably because I would have been involved in the same sort of project when I was able but I look forward hopefully for more like this so I hope this room is one of many thanks for sharing and well done.

Мне нравится идея восстановления стен и очень понравилась плитка на полу. Но,на мой взгляд,камень на стенах сильно давит. Было бы лучше часть стен все таки заштукатурить и покрасить белой краской,а стены с камнем сделать,как акцент.

[@saidabenziouche5522]

Bravo

[@fghjsdhg]

What a hell of a job, and what an awesome result!

[@LiyaelAdler]

very good video to watch

[@corveramoenglish7275]

Beautiful finish. Definitely something that I will try to recreate in the future. Congrats on your renovation

[@user-tu4ls7zi7u]

Interesting well done Alistair..Reminds me 20yrs ago doing exactly the same thing on my mums property Sw France dordogne. Mum had a beautiful stone railway cottage. Hard work raking out endless repointing yet very rewarding. Great work Mr 🙏

[@bobolpatrick3789]

beau travail

[@Annie-ex3ge]

Beautiful! The antique tiles look like they have been there for 200 years

[@frenchpropertyrenovations7788]

Yeah that was the general idea to remove them from one part of the building and reclaim as many as possible to create another beautiful floor that didn’t look modern when completed

[@mytioc]

Cracking job, well done. Pointing looks great & floor will too when grouted.

[@user-ht4sm6ke5i]

Bonito bonito

[@user-fx8np3pr9u]

Здравствуйте! Хорошо, красиво. Очень длинный ролик и не понятно это конечный результат?

[@andypag1071]

Do you have to grout the floor? What are you mixing up for the pointing on the walls?

[@frenchpropertyrenovations7788]

Hello and yes I need to grout the tomette tiled floor and for the pointing I am using traditional lime mortar mixed at a ratio of 3 to 1 lime

[@mariahelenaddasilva6443]

Por certo vai ficar com as pedras sem os rebocos,😮 então vai ficar muito bom.

[@christeljeandheur8090]

❤❤❤❤👏👏👏👍

[@mosesmanaka8109]

Very nicely done, just one mistake, l think, you have left the floor as just plain cement, not tiled, just painted white or some other colour. But nevertheless nice job, well done 👍

[@user-vy3vk2sb8p]

[@mamanyka]

С белыми стенами было лучше, на мой взгляд. Светлее.

[@Francedefence]

Beautiful renovation! Where in France??????

[@frenchpropertyrenovations7788]

I am in the Haute Vienne area of France

[@TinkrBelz]

Excellent work. Ignore these back seat drivers

[@frenchpropertyrenovations7788]

Thank you and I have been in construction too long to pay any attention to them and once again Thanks and keep watching

[@nielstenbrink]

Wow. 20 minutes into the video and after incredibly repetitive stonework we really get to see the tiles….😂

[@frenchpropertyrenovations7788]

Yeah it’s very repetitive especially working on your own and hard work. Thanks for the compliment and please keep watching

[@user-ko7xt6ie6o]

Вот пыли-то развёл 😮

[@Orlando_63s]

😍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@constancereed2796]

I have undertook the same process and it wasn’t an easy task. Listen pointing the bricks after showcasing the roughness Of the character of the bricks. Good job mister.

[@frenchpropertyrenovations7788]

The Stonework is beautiful if you take the time to clean it and repoint all the joints with Lime Mortar. Removing the decayed moisture retentive old plaster and pointing makes the house drier and more beautiful filled with old character and well worth the effort

[@8888gena]

👍👍👍😎

[@111Qadr]

On ne voit plus la pierre ! 😮

[@propertyriiich]

Tou have no electricity in the room, why did you not put it in the floor first & come up between the stone, then put the cement between the stones & then put the floor down

[@sylvie431]

Beautiful ❤

[@frenchpropertyrenovations7788]

Thank you and please keep watching

[@robertbongard1325]

it seems that you forgot to randomize the different colour tiles before you started. Rookie mistake.

[@wotandonner4336]

Durch die vielen Steine wirkt der Raum sehr unruhig. Mein Fall ist das nicht...muss es ja auch nicht!

[@patrickruf7438]

Trop rapide cette vidéo j en ai mal aux yeux 😤

[@next0845]

Dusty work

[@ramchandramahamuni5932]

Worst done
