We purchased a home that’s about 20yrs old, built from scratch by the previous owners as per their style. Although it’s not old, it is very dated. It’ll need some work and right now there’s no money unless we do it ourselves. I’m daunted but you gave me hope and courage. Looking to follow you and learn a trick or two from you Sofia (that’s also my mom’s name!) I can no longer find your apartment so hoping it’s sold!

THE NEW FLOORPLAN MAKES SO MUCH MORE SENSE. ESPECIALLY SINCE YOU WOULD HAVE HAD TO COMBINE THE GUEST ROOM AND OFFICE WHEN YOU HAVE A CHILD. NOW THERE WON'T BE COMBINING OF ROOMS WHEN YOU ARE AT YOUR MOST STRESSED WITH A LITTLE ONE!

Did you sell the apartment yet? How the broken legs. Renovations are dangerous. Take care😁
@GoingHomeDesign5 ай бұрын
Hey Sarah! Thanks for commenting! We still have the apartment but the viewings are now starting to pick up which is a great feeling! Renovations are very dangerous haha but also therapeutic. We’re really happy knowing every surface and inch of this property! In terms of James’ legs, this is going to be an ongoing recovery process especially when he is dealing with his muscle-wasting disability as is. He might talk about it later in a video but it’s completely up to him!

Hi Sofia and James I hope your well, have loved finding your channel, and watching your journey so far. I'm so sorry for your loss, sending you both my heartfelt prayers and thoughts💕💞. I'm also very excited to be able to join you both on your very special journey together, also especially as I'm a disabled wheelchair user and getting ideas from yourselves regarding decor home accessaries that can also work for mixed ability people,while making your home both practical yet beautiful.😃👌🌈🤟

Did you keep any original features?
@GoingHomeDesign5 ай бұрын
In terms of ‘original features’, there weren’t that many to begin with as part of the property had been crashed into during WW2. We have kept the real wood flooring that was in the large living room space, but dado rails and skirting weren’t in great conditions sadly. As we’ve also widened the doorways, the original doors won’t fit. Moving into this next phase, we are eager to bring back the features that should be in a 1930s home! But for modern day living! Will the period features be original, no. But equally we want to do the property justice!

Just discovered your channel this afternoon and have binge watched your reno playlist so I'm up to date. So sorry to hear about your baby loss. I have been there many times so you both have my sympathy. Indie will help fill that gap giving her lots of cuddles will help. Looking forward to seeing more as you get to the fun parts now. So excited for you.😊

Hey. I really like all your ideas. But they seem a little bit random. I think the best interior designs work when all the rooms speak to each other and there is a clear theme throughout. I guess your main colour is green? But not sure on style? I would maybe be a bit more consistent with this. Colours can be used in different proportions and styles mixed but there should be a common element throughout imo! Just food for thought
@GoingHomeDesign6 ай бұрын
Hey! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! I actually agree with you; this video in particular was created over a year and to be honest my ideas have changed somewhat since then! I’ve had enough time now to rethink all of the rooms, and agree that all the rooms need to have that something that shows they belong to the same property haha! Thanks again! And hope you’re still looking forward to watching this next phase of the project!

This might be a silly question, but I'm not British even though I live in England so I don't know much about this. But do you need any special permission to do the bond fire in the garden?
@GoingHomeDesign6 ай бұрын
Not a silly question at all! Our bungalow is thankfully in an area where you can have a garden bonfire but it’s common curtsy to your neighbours to 1. Only start a bonfire at a time when it’s not going to cause a nuisance for your neighbours; drying clothes, summer days when they are enjoying their garden, etc 2. Only burn things that aren’t going to create a lot of smoke. We only burn wood! There’s probably more info online but that’s what I know!
