  • After purchasing my first property in Spain in 2017 as a holiday home, I then decided to sell up in UK and move permanently to Spain in order to apply for residency before the dreaded BREXIT!
    I have since sold the first property and bought this one.
    This series of videos will show you the progress of my work on the property.
    This video focuses on the kitchen dining area and office / entrance.
    With Spanish property purchase taxes for non EU residents being a controversial factor right now, I hope that it won't put you off and that you can proceed with your dream (if you are non EU).
    I hope that the video will give you some inspiration and confidence in purchasing a property that may not be perfect but that has that special something that makes you buy it.

    I love the color and yes, I would do the fireplace. I like pops of color.

    Great video as ever, Lesley. I know what you mean about the timber yard in Jaen. I lasted about 2 minutes before apologising & running away. 😆

    Everything looks great!
    I do have an unsolicited opinion though - maybe you could find some fabric for the kitchen curtains with a little bit of blue matching the painted wall and beam where the flamenco lady is.
    Because everything is so serene, it wouldn't hurt to have a pattern on those curtains.

      Yea I’ve been wondering t wether to have curtains there or not! The ones on the other door have a pale grey and yellowish flower.

    • @stevenduvall2549
      @stevenduvall2549 17 дней назад

      I think curtains would make it very traditional in the Andalusian style.
      You have a really good eye, so I'm sure it will look fantastic.
      You could match the curtains with the grey and yellow as well. Sounds lovely!
      I love the idea of thrifting and finding things as you go to make it really special. Also, it's budget friendly.
      I really hate a generic room where everything matches exactly.
      P.S. I just got your joke about the Sagrada Familia!

    The kitchen is looking great! It's very similar to the type of traditional built in kitchen that we want to put into our house in Xátiva. Would you be willing to share an idea of the cost of building that type of kitchen?

      Hola, from our mountain in Spain. Just found your channel. We've been here 19 years, lived totally off grid for 6 years, more off grid than anyone I've seen so far & we loved it. We eventually built a beautiful, large house & after living in that for the next 10 years we wanted another adventure, project and challenge. Having seen a house many years before in same area, unlived in for many years we took a gamble in our 70's. Huge renovation, reduced me to tears more than a build, but we love it. The house & land has been untouched for over 20 years, so it was definitely a challenge, one worth taking. Good luck, look forward to following you. ❤

      Hi yes workman are easy to find but you need to organise well in advance. Most people communicate with the builders by text with goodie translate and pointing 😂
