Tour our little northern ireland cottage as we renovate and make it a home

[@margaretorden7568]

The cottage has some lovely features. My favourite is the window in the kitchen looking into the hall. It’s going to be beautiful. One step at a time!

[@RenovatingRockCottage]

@@margaretorden7568 yes I love that too - I put a lamp in the kitchen window and I just about melted ❤️

I've just come across your videos! The cottage has so much potential! I wish you all the best with it I have subbed so I can follow along! I have had my place in the west for about a year now and it's so nice to bring these old houses back to life!

I adore your cottage. Is it my imagination or does it have the most lovely warm vibes in each room! I think the cottage has really welcomed you. It's going to be an amazing home. I think you're supposed to make sure the flames are the right colour on an old gas cooker that hasn't been used for some time but I'm not an engineer so I wouldn't know what you look for. It's just a thought. P.s the antique bed frame would look perfect in the library just the right size!

[@RenovatingRockCottage]

@@Nat-o8u thanks so much for your comment - and you’re right so warm energy, a real excitement i think. ♥️

Absolutely beautiful love your ideas 🙏🙏🙏

@@martinfurey5645 Thank you ❤️

[@leahmorris343]

Will you be keeping the dinning table it will clean up nicely. The chimneys will need sweeping it's probably why it's smoking.

[@RenovatingRockCottage]

@@leahmorris343 oh yes will keep the dining table - it’s very lovely and has 4 drawers - will need to put liners in the chimney also - probably take the smoking fireplace surround out soon as the skip has arrived on site :)

[@relocatetoEUROPE]

I'm interested why you removed the wood burning stove from the kitchen that would have been the heart of the kitchen

[@RenovatingRockCottage]

@@relocatetoEUROPE Good question!! it was actually stolen in a break in the night before we got the keys - they broke the doors and left the water from the back boiler stove running through the house. It was very disappointing as i had hoped to have used that stove to heat up the middle of the house

[@relocatetoEUROPE]

@@RenovatingRockCottage Oh my goodness so Sorry, surely the former owners insurance would cover that? How disappointing. Will you replace it?

[@RenovatingRockCottage]

Thank you, it was very upsetting. The previous owners were amazing, and reimbursed us for the door damage and the stove - very generous of them and we are extremely grateful - not sure if i’ll put another one in kitchen as i hope to put the cooker range there. If i thought that the reno was taking forever i might put a second hand one in temporarily to heat up the space

[@relocatetoEUROPE]

@RenovatingRockCottage that's Good to know I would definitely put an Aga (or Similar ) in there heats up the room and also wonderful for cooking
