The kitchen is nice isn't it - I'm going to try to add some rustic features to make it feel more my style but I like it so much more that I did when we looked around x
Congratulations on your lovely new home! We also have a 1930s house and I love it. I have stained glass envy at yours and would love a feature window on our landing like you have. At least now this house is all yours and you can truly put your stamp on it unlike a rented house. Also SJ, has anyone ever told you what a soothing voice you have? I could listen to you talk for ages (I sound very creepy saying that but it’s not meant in that way!) X
HAHA! THE MAN CAVE! Those windows are beautiful! Oh my gosh the stairs just keep going, I l love the master upstairs! I'm binge watching your videos instead of sleeping!
I'm going to try to add something like rustic shelves to make it a bit more my style but also think I have to embrace what I have!!! It's a big improvement to our old one already :-)))) xxx
Your house is beautiful, very big and also in London!! that's just crazy to me. I hope to someday have a house like yours. So incredibly happy for you, I know saving up is very very hard especially with children.
Ah thank you Lena! We're a bit outside London now but still very close. I'd call it a suburb! :-)) Thanks so much, that means a lot. It is so hard to save and we thought we'd never achieve it so it's really special xx
Thanks hon, yes it's really good as it is so it's just touches to make it our own. I'm really into patterned wallpaper which is a hard sell to my swedish minimalist husband - ha ha!
Congrats babe your new place is perfect for your lil fam and I just know you're going to put that floral/Scandi SJ stamp on it with absolute class! Let's meet soon please lovely! xxx
SJ Strum Your delivery of the man cave was hilarious! Also congratulations on your home! Love the windows & the history they conjure up. I'm so jealous of your boudoir having its own floor 😀 You've done well!
Wow! You guys have done so so well to save to buy in London! We are going to be saving for years and we feel like the bottom rung of the ladder is moving further away from our reach! It's so tough on one salary! 😂 congrats lovely. It looks great! I think you should change the splash back to grey or marble. Sounds like you have amazing plans xx
I know exactly how you feel; we've literally been saving for years and years! As we needed a decent size family home as our first house it's a bit catch 22 and London is just so expensive. It's a long wait but can't believe we've finally done it - and now we're skint! ha ha! You'll have to come visit and move near us!! SJ xx
Hi there, I love your videos. You mentioned you live 4 stops from a place but didn't get the name. We are currently living in Poland but thinking of relocating and I really like Surrey it's near enough London but more nature, cozy and affordable. Anyway sending lots of hugs!
It's really nice to have a big space just for us! We can't figure out what to do with it!! But thinking of a nice sofa and desk area. Will be a good retreat! SJ x
Found this website in my bookmarks from when we renovated our house back in 2015, lots of good photos for inspo! We're an Aussie-Norwegian family so we went with Scandi decor too! decoholic.org/2014/12/29/60-scandinavian-interior-design-ideas-add-scandinavian-style-home/
