    Wow, would love 2. We have electric underfloor heating in our bathrooms and need to change the thermostats as we've had them for 11 years now! What great timing x

    Kerry, Your home is absolutely stunning! 😍
    I love the brick wall, it gives a warm feeling to your room. I totally agree that only having one regret on the build is very impressive. Also, Yes, regarding the window in the hallway. I think extra light flooding in would feel lovely x

    Hi Kerry, thanks for the tip about the window .. we are in middle of our small renovation which involves extension at the back and front ... we didn't get the windows either but we are going for frosted glass panels on the side to let the light in. Also we have underfloor heating in half part of the house and getting in the extension with the very old style thermostat which came with the house .. would love to try the smart thermostat for underfloor heating x

    Such a beautiful home Kerry we've had a long long 2 year wait for our kitchen conversion but amazingly it's going to start this March we are having under floor heating and I would be very grateful to receive one of your now unused thermostats x

    Hi Kerry, I’ve been following your whole renovation project with great interest. We’ve just moved into a new house with underfloor heating in the kitchen area and a thermostat to control it would be absolutely wonderful. Best wishes

    Hi Kerry,
    I come from Emily and your housecis absolutely lovely. We built a small house in Austria for 3 years now, because we are not very lucky with our builders. We will get under floor heating also and they thermistats would help us a bit, but I think they will have been given away already now....

  • @giuoke5809
    @giuoke5809 2 года назад +2

    Absolutely love the content and gets me excited about our current house renovation.
    Would definitely be interested in trying the thermostats as we’ll be getting underfloor heating once the extension is done.
    Keep up the good work and enjoy your new home now!!

  • @SBS2103
    @SBS2103 2 года назад +2

    I love the idea of the side window, it’ll transform the entrance! The brick wall looks great!! I’d love to have a thermostat, we’re getting underfloor heating in our new property.

  • @gracehartley8564
    @gracehartley8564 2 года назад +2

    Love the brick slips and thinking of having them in our new extension! We also needed much smaller pipes for our underfloor heating due to the existing floor. Our builder recommended this company and they look great. Would love to have some thermostats to match the system 😬

  • @dottoto8974
    @dottoto8974 2 года назад

    Love the wall Kerry and it looks more natural with some bricks being wonky lol ( though you can hardly see it). I agree a frosted window will be a deal breaker - why pay so much to transform your home if you have to keep a light on all the time?? Also agree that a nice unit in the boys bathroom will ‘lift’ and give extra storage, and what a great idea about the shaving socket - they’ll be doing that before you know it!! The house looks amazing - can’t wait to see the final touches. ( then you can come and do mine ha ha 🤣😉). Have a good weekend xx

  • @Kavita_826
    @Kavita_826 2 года назад

    Oh my gosh Kerry, I LOVE THE BRICK WALL!!! Yes I think a long frosted window is a fab idea. Our new house has a large window that you can clearly see out of BUT its VERY far back from the road so no fear of people walking past our house and looking in but my only fear is if someone walked up our garden path at night it would be super creepy 😁

  • @AgnesMann

    The window would defo add some light and I think I would also put it on the opposite site of the door. It does look nice though as it is.

  • @glasgowchiropracticpaisley7340

  • @sonalirnahar_rohan
    @sonalirnahar_rohan 2 года назад +4

    Actually, a frosted glass in the center of the door will give more light in the passage than the window on the side , is my take on that . It will be easier to do aswell , without disturbing the paint and the the electrical points on the wall . As the size of your front door is wide enough to hold a frosted toughened glass in the center and a wooden broad frame on all 4 sides .

    • @tiddlywinks456
      @tiddlywinks456 2 года назад

      I agree because the direction of the light would travel sideways rather than lengthways through the hall. It might be cheaper to adjust the door and you could have it frosted.

  • @sunuman4454
    @sunuman4454 2 года назад

    I wouldn’t put the window in. I think it would take away the fact that the front door is so unusual. I love your door it is so stunning. I think the window would make it look too normal again. Just keep the lights on lol. Beautiful home. Xxxxxx.

    @kellyparker4118 2 года назад

    Hi Kerry, could you have a slimline window above the door? It then won’t affect the tiled, skirting etc. I’d love a thermostat if you still have any available, we’re about to start our renovation if our house we purchased last year and we are starting with our bathroom and are having underfloor heating. Xxx

  • @ItsOnlyWarPaint
    @ItsOnlyWarPaint 2 года назад +1

    A new window sounds good, have you also thought about sun tunnels, which would be clear, so could potentially let more light in that a frosted window (depending on which way your house faces). Also just to add, if the £ for windows is more than you want to pay this year/next year. You can get garden spinners which have mirrors on them which will shine light all the way from your garden through your family area into the entrance way., that could be a temporary fix.

    • @KerryWhelpdale
      @KerryWhelpdale  2 года назад +1

      I did think about a sun tunnel and I think I might get quoted on that too.. im still waiting to hear back from the builders.. im scared to know how much it would be to add the window!! heheh xxx

Please can you give me some tips on ordering the bricks? How did you measure? Also on the site it has “7 corners”. What does that mean?! The site doesn’t explain! Thank you so much x

    Hi lovely. I have been following your renovations and have to say that is is looking amazing. We’re just moved to our new house in December. We’re in the middle of whole house renovation with rear extension being build. We about to install low profile underfloor heating through out whole downstairs: original house+extension. Would love to try thermostat which is no longer useful to you. Do you have any advice on how to choose, install Ufh? Thank you for your vidios

  • @helenuk9582

    The window in the hall would make a big difference Kerry, I would say go for it. Do you have room for storage space for coats like you’ve done with your shoes? ☺️

    • @KerryWhelpdale
      @KerryWhelpdale  2 года назад

  • @geraldineconway1865
    @geraldineconway1865 2 года назад

    I think the window isn’t going to make your hallway that much brighter. Especially with it being frosted. I have two sidelights on my front door each are frosted with a 1.5” ribbon of unfrosted glass around the perimeter. I also have a window on the landing and it’s still quite dark. We painted it a dark blue before Christmas as I thought sod it, embrace the darkness. The result is really great, I absolutely love it now.

  • @ItsOnlyWarPaint
    @ItsOnlyWarPaint 2 года назад +1

    Do you know if you can just change those smart thermostats for the old chunky dial ones ? I had hive in my old house, so I’m looking at ways to control my underfloor heating system now, so I would be interested.

    • @KerryWhelpdale
      @KerryWhelpdale  2 года назад +1

    @julie-annpistell1511 2 года назад

    I’m still loving the brick, I like that it’s not in perfect straight lines, 😀 please say you’re going to do the tv wall 😃😃 it would look so good ✅
    The window idea sounds good but I’d just feel gutted seeing them knock out that lovely finished wall, albeit small 😱😱😱 but if the price of getting it done works out cheaper than having electric lighting on all day 🤔🤔🤔 Either way it will still look gorgeous 🥰
    Take care all of you xxx

    I absolutely love how you’ve done your house and I’m copying your bathrooms 😜 I brought my home Aug 20 and it’s still derelict due to planning and COVID but good news it’s finally started 20222 yay! There’s no going back now that time, money and building cost against us we just don’t know how we going to get there 🤦🏽‍♀️ but one thing we decided budget wise is to do the big main things to the house for the long run and live with nothing inside lol, we want under floor heating so the thermostats would be amazing 🤩 love your videos!

  • @Terriersontour
    @Terriersontour 2 года назад +1

    You are right the door is a marmite door, for me if the door had some glass in there to let on natural light you wouldn’t have the issue that you have now. My home is very contemporary and we have a wall similar to you that runs along one side of the house so I love that but can’t get away with the door, sorry xx
