Wood finish on front door exterior: Brilliant. Natural finish Antique Doors (with wax, etc.): Brilliant. Natural waxed floors: Brilliant. Newel Post: Brilliant. Love your stunning Restoration. 👏🏻
Aww thank you 😊 so glad you are enjoying the renovations!
Such a rustic, romantic home. The natural wood imperfections are well, perfect to me. Your beautiful home is very elegant without being uppity. Well done!
Thank you so much! Our top floor will be much more polished but we are still keeping a lot of the original character and really want it to work for us - stylish but must be practical.
I don’t know how y’all don’t have millions of subscribers. Most beautiful house ! Y’all’s personalities are great
Do open shelves above the microwave like the ones next to your sink. It would keep the kitchen feeling open and bright rather than closed in with cubboards :)
Totally agree, I think I prefer the idea of open shelving but worry it won't be practical!
The flooring and bottom kitchen cabinets are my favorite! I love the white washed look.
I never thought I would have a wooden kitchen but it's also one of my favourite parts!
Well done Laura, you've done an amazing job of transforming a somewhat rundown dwelling, into a home...
It certainly feels like home now 😊 thank you!
I just love how real you keep it. I loved the fact you have two diffusers stuffed to the side so that people can't see them as easily! Loved it, and the video. Like a breath of fresh air!
😂 I should probably put some effort into positioning those diffusers somewhere! Thank you 💕
I love watching your home renovations, ill be sad when they end lol x
We feel the same way, so I am not sure they ever will end 😂 x
@@LauraMelhuishSprague 😆
@@LauraMelhuishSprague In a house, the Home renovations never end 😂
@@LauraMelhuishSprague You guys really have great vision and above all persistence. Really have enjoyed watching you transform this beautiful house back to its glory. Perhaps you would consider property renovation full time. You have s stunning house, Well done!
@@LauraMelhuishSprague yt?
I just rewatched this with my mom and sisters just because I was so impressed with it and was like, "More people need to see this!" Your guys' home is absolutely beautiful, you've done an incredible amount of work, and you and Ollie convey such a calm, supportive, and loving energy. Thanks for letting us tag along with all of your renovations!
I would make that back room a snug when you finish renting, or as in America they call a family room. Think the kitchen's just fine and the dining room is perfect. Only thing I would change downstairs is opening the wall between the living room and dining room.
What you've done with the mirror in the existing alcove is so smart! Just found your renovation series and cannot wait to binge every single one of them!! I've just started documenting our home renovation and am looking for all the inspiration I can get!!
I actually felt really emotional watching this Laura, you have come so far and done such a beautiful job. Having renovated twice it’s just the best feeling when you have done so much yourselves and can finally be in a clean “dust” free ish! space.💕👍
It has been quite the journey 😆 I love keeping the downstairs 'nice' and as dust free as possible 😊💕
You have a very good eye for decorating. I could never think of putting things together like you have.
You really managed to breath new life into this old lovely house while honoring it's older architecture/details. Can't wait to see the renovated upstairs!
Thank you. We also can't wait to see the upstairs renovated, hopefully not long now 😊
I just watched your renovation video. It popped up in my recommended. The work you and your husband/partner put into it was amazing and you can clearly turn your hand to anything !. I wouldn't have the patience you both had doing all that work. You have a beautiful home.
The layout is exactly the same as the house we’re buying except we’re using the dining room as a kids’ playroom, then where your kitchen and the flat are we just have a small bedroom with a small balcony. Where your washing machine is we have stairs going down to the basement level where we have a games room, breakfast room and the kitchen with access to the garden. I love your style and will be updating bits as soon as we move into ours.

Started following you when you were finishing the tennant's bedroom. What an amazing journey it has been and how cool to see how far you've come. I wish you lots of happy times in this elegant, natural, lovely home!
That is awesome, thank you 😊
Ugh! I love your channel. It’s very realistic. That’s my favorite part. It looks so great as is. I will be waiting patiently for all you share with us.
Amazing, the proof that style can’t be bought. Compliments!
I've been checking in regularly. In the kitchen, to the left of the stove...cabinet or shelves? Either, but putting the microwave on the shelf or on a shelf below the cabinet. It gets it up and off the counter, making that a great drinks or tea/coffee prep space.
I would love to hide the microwave a little more and putting it on a shelf would get it out the way, we will have to look into it! Thank you
Love what you guys have done with the place! Have submitted an offer on a Georgian house in London that is in a similar state to yours pre renovation. Would be great to get a ballpark cost as we plan to do most of the work ourselves also. Excited but also daunted… :/
I had forgotten so much of what it was like... blessing in disguise that we didn’t move in properly straight away.
If only we have kept all our belongings in one room 😂
the realism and honesty of all the scuffs etc, makes it more beautiful
Would love to hear more about your experience renting out the space at the back, how you designed it, how it is renting something out whilst renovating. Will check to see if you have done so already. Love your channel!
I just binged this whole renovation over the last few days, I’ve become obsessed with watching renovations and love watching people do so much themselves it’s awesome! I know you said you were waiting a while before you get the final kitchen in but through all my watching I’ve seen recommended DIY Kitchens - it’s all online so you measure your space and order all the parts yourself but it comes out much cheaper since it’s directly from the manufacturer in Yorkshire, something to consider for the future perhaps!
Wow I can't believe the difference in the before and after shots. I don't know if I could have envisioned the end result! Its absolutely beautiful with all the natural finishes, brightness and the colour scheme in the dining room is very bold. I love it all :)
I don't know if you are living here or renting it out but the house looks fantastic, beautiful. I'm not sure why you said some of the work is only temporary until you get money, I think it's looks beautiful.
You both did a beautiful job, looks so homey & comfortable. I love every room & dining room is stunning with that color. Love love your little closet turned into laundry & especially with the touch of the whimsical wallpaper. Thanks for sharing 😊
Thanks Betty, the wallpaper in the laundry nook certainly cheers up doing the laundry 😁
I would love to see a tour of the upstairs. Downstairs looks amazing! I love it :-)
Building up the courage to show you the building site upstairs 😊 thank you 💕
My boyfriend and I are currently renovating our house, and I’ve absolutely loved watching your journey with yours. It looks wonderful, you’ve both done an amazing job and I just love the entire aesthetic!
Thanks Shannon, I hope your renovations are going well 😁
Been on this journey with you both..you have worked so hard.. Congratulations Laura ....not afraid of getting your hands dirty ! Well done !
Your home is so gorgeous-you guys should be very proud of all the achievements required to renovate to such a high standard! I’m sorry to ask such a foolish question but, may I ask for a tutorial video on how you style your hair Laura? It always looks so beautiful, even after wearing your safety helmet ☺️
Amazing transformation. I love every room!!!! This reminds me why older properties are so much more charming than new builds- the transformation potential is limitless.
You guys are doing a beautiful job, thank you for being so honest and showing how life really is living in a Reno project, I relate so much.we are currently renovating a small 1930s house, your journey is wonderful and inspiring to see the progress you have made… also your kitchen!!!! 💕 love the tiles above the cooker too 💕
It’s absolutely stunning! You two did such a wonderful job remodeling the downstairs by yourselves and utilizing a secondhand kitchen! Amazing!! 😍
Paint color in dinning room is stunning! Mirror❤
The combination of the exposed wood with the off-white is just beautiful. Well done guys.
You guys are SO brave for taking on such a project. You deserve to enjoy it with how it looks now xz
A conservetory or sun room off the dining room would look lush x
Fantastic job, Laura. Thank you for sharing your progress. My suggestion for the microwave area is to install a shelf above the counter for the microwave (installing another outlet up above the shelf to plug it in) and put cabinets above that. It would make an attractive corner and extremely practical. You could make it a coffee/tea corner by placing a coffee machine/tea kettle on the counter, a basket tray for the coffee/tea fixings, and cup hooks screwed underneath the microwave shelf for mugs. Just a thought.
This is just brilliant. Every room has its own character and style. An amazing job well done
😊💕
I started following your channel when you first bought the house, and since that moment, you've been one of my favorite.
Regards from Leon, Guanajuato - México
Really lovely home. Not over styled and you’ve picked things you like rather than fashionable
So nice! If you put a mirror on the wall in front of the dining place in the kitchen the room will feel larger and you don't need to turn your head while talking to each other 🥰 love from Sweden
Love the progress and your style of decor! An idea for that kitchen space where the microwave sits right now: Maybe you could install some of those 3-tier wire hanging baskets that hang from the ceiling for fruit and veggies, I think it would look lovely to have something that's not too bulky in this area.
Great idea!! We were thinking of some more idea's like shelves which won't make it look too cramped.
Favourite room for me is the kitchen however the rest of the downstairs is beautiful. Been through this ourselves, hard work but well worth the effort.
Really brilliant choice of colours. Jon well done. I've saved your vid for referencing. Bless you and your family
Just found your channel. So agree about not finishing painting of the hall. We have a similar situation and I can tell you. It is depressing to finish the hall and then have marks, scratches and bumps. 🏡
Very tastefully done! I love how you have kept the period feel, but have brought the house into the 21st century at the same time.
I would paint that unit in your dining room White, then gold or that blue on the handles to match your large mirror and walls. Your renovation looks beautiful x
All the rooms feel so homey and cozy! I hope that one day my future flat will feel that way as well ☺️
Could you put a small side table beside your entrance mirror that you could hide your internet dock?
I love that idea, I'll keep a look out for something that would fit the space 😁
Really great work there! You've done a huge transformation in that house. It's very modern and clean.
I absolutely love your style!! And would love to see an “as is” your of the upstairs on stories! Totally been hanging out for it! 😍
Thanks for letting me know Alicia, I will pluck up the courage to film the upstairs 😆
Todo quedó hermoso felicidades y uds lo hicieron que trabajal Dios mío mis respetos saludos cordiales desde Aguascalientes México 🤗
You've accomplished so much and looks wonderful! Life's not a sprint it's a marathon as they say. I'm so happy for you both. Good luck on the rest, can't wait to see it.
I’ve been with you guys through all of this. I can’t believe how much work you’ve done. The tobacco stains and odor in the dining room gave me the horrible creeps. I couldn’t have done it. But you persisted. Now look what you’ve got!
I love your dining room so much. It’s great and downstairs bathroom is fantastic. I’ve been decorating my living room, bedroom and hallway and I’ve been inspired by all the work you and Ollie have done. Thank you for sharing your renovation with us.
Stunning. The amount of work you have put into your home is incredible and it shows.
I'm so happy you popped up on my feed, again! I saw one of your first videos, I didn't subscribe and then sadly, I lost you. This time I subscribed! Lovely, lovely transformation and I love, love, love the floors! I'm so impressed with your hard work (this has been a daunting challenge!). Merry Christmas to you and yours (hopefully you get to enjoy Christmas still?). We are told NOT to celebrate here in Canada but to comply...hum. I may be watching your next video from prison.
Honestly, you both did an amazing job. Looking at the before and after pictures one can't believe that you did almost everything by yourselves.. you have to be very proud for that..everything looks so neat and elegant! Thank you so much for sharing your journey! 🙏😍😘
Love the Squid Ink paint from P&PL. I’ll be using that in our loft conversion. 👌🏽
It's such a nice colour, I am sure you will love it!
Very late to the party...but you should definitely get the dining room pink chair reupholstered, to a soft white linen or a beautiful dark navy 😍
Your dining room is stunning! Even if it is temporary
I always look forward to your videos, the house is looking amazing! Although it must have been so disappointing at the time I bet you are now so pleased the sale fell through on the London property. You have done so much of the work yourselves which is really impressive, you have wonderful taste and I can’t wait to see what else you do! Have a lovely weekend xx
Hi Kellie! Yes, in hindsight we are so happy this was the property we ended up buying. Especially with everything going on the last few months we have often said how lucky we were with this house. Hope you're having a great weekend too xx
I actually love the spotty living room door, it almost looks like a deliberate pattern and looks like a subtle sort of statement
It looks beautiful as it is. Love the space as you worked so hard for it, and always remember as these houses suck money from us, that done is better than perfect.
Was there anyway that you could change the way the doors swing open? I’m not sure if it’s a Euro thing, but It makes more sense that the door swing open towards the wall, not into the room. Swap the hinges to the opposite side. That way it doesn’t swing into the couch or the dinning table. Everything else looks wonderful! Keep up the beautiful work!
Hi Laura..been a fan of your channel for ages- just re-watched this video as we have just bought a Victorian home to renovate so I was looking for inspiration. I absolutely adore the elephant wallpaper in your cupboard under the stairs. Please can you let me know where you got it from!? Many thanks!
Wow. What a beautiful transformation. A lot of hard work behind this tastefully done renovation.
Lovely house... once the work has all finished...maybe only a mat needed if no shoes in the house... I dont allow outdoor shoes in the house and its so much cleaner.
Lovely house and I love the blue room,with the blue floor.thank you for showing this.
I have been binge watching your reno and in love. We just bought a house and it needs some updating, so this has been very motivating and encouraging to see how y'all had zero experience and have shown to still be able to do it.
I love your dinning room.
Y’all have done a wonderful job! Your home looks so beautiful. I do wonder why doors in English homes open backwards or opposite to how doors open in the states. When a door opens into a room here, the door opens toward or rests on the wall opposite of how your English doors do. I wonder if there is a historical reason for that?
Will be looking forward to seeing what you do to the little courtyard garden area off your dining room.
Everything you have done has made your home so much brighter and welcoming.
So proud of you! You both have done a wonderful job!
Downstairs looks great. well done!!
Looking great! Beautiful design! 🌼❤️😍👌
Thank you so much 😊
It's so lovely and as you said, it has such a nice feeling. Well done!
Thank you so much!
Your Reno is beautiful. The rooms gorgeous.
You two are just a delite and such hard workers,well done from Australia.
Es increíble el cambio en la casa y tenéis un un gusto súper elegante.👌
So awesome to see how far you’ve come. Have loved watching your journey.
Tellement beau, si raffiné AND DiY🌞 I Adore your house !🏡
I think shelving would be more aesthetically pleasing for that corner of the kitchen, potentially turning it into a tea/coffee corner with all your mugs and other bits and bobs.
I’m moving to Texas in eight months and I can’t wait to buy my home.I love your home.
It looks fab, I can't wait to see the complete house finished, well done Laura and Ollie xx 💖💖
Hello Laura I absolutely love your style! It looks amazing and my favourite is the dining room! Beautiful colour and the pink chair looks great against the wall! You can see how much work you have put in and I hope you both get to enjoy your home properly now! 😀 Can’t wait to see what you do upstairs! Thanks for sharing your videos I really enjoy watching them! 😀
You must be so proud of both your efforts! It looks like it’s been extremely hard work but I for one have hugely enjoyed watching the progress. It’s so refreshing on the approach you have both taken! Well done you! ❤️👍
Congratz, with a job welldone!! Greetings from Simone living in a house built in 1912. I know what renovating means 😊
Quedo muy linda pero hay 2 paredes q yo hubiera sacado y hacer 1 solo ambiente de concepto abierto la pared de la sala del comedor tiene mucha luz hacia el patio con esos techos transparentes igual me gusta el color q seleccionaron para cada ambiente saludos
Love it. Great video that. Pulling our kitchen up at the moment😂🙊
You have a really lovely home! I reckon a diner bench in the dining room would look lovely
Or if it was pushed against the wall and the chairs together
You have such a wonderful home!
Thank you, I think so too, but then I am bias 😁
the transformation is beautiful
Wow wow wow!!!
my only comment are the carpets in the hall way , i would by a black or black and white / Grey .
AMAZING 🤩 I love ❤️ it all so beautiful you guys done a Great 👍🏽 job turning this house into your home it is truly an awesome job
Correct me if I’m wrong but you said the access to the garden from the dining room Is the only access to the garden but there’s a door to the garden off the kitchen 🙂 Love the videos and your house is stunning! ☺️
👏🏻Well done Laura & Olly, the transformation is just great and I have really enjoyed all the renovation vlogs. Your style is just beautiful.
Thanks so much! 💕
You did an amazing job particulary in the dining room which is to die for!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
