For some reason my mind is blank when writing this caption - probably because the video title is self explanatory and there's nothing else to say haha 🤷🏻‍♀️

Please ignore the peach carpet - we moved into this house at the end of last year and it's such a cold house! We are in the process of insulating the entire house with sheeps wool (incl. under the floorboards) so the peach carpet will be banished the second the house is warm 😅

Anyway, so we needed some additional seating in our living room (mostly because I got fed up of never having anywhere to sit!) and so I started scouring Vinterior, 1st Dibs and eBay for brutalist style mid century armchairs because I'm a fan and that's the vision I had for the space.

I saw these listed for £100 (!!!) and thought "what's wrong with them", read the description, realised that the seller just thought these were a pair of old armchairs. They aren't designer as far as I can tell, but they remind me of brutalist furniture by Percival Lafer which is a style I love and they're solid timber (which means they're insanely heavy and well made!).

I ended up hiring a van and driving two hours to go and collect these (I was so scared of driving the van because the excess was £2,000 👀) but it all went well, got the chairs and now I still don't get to sit on them because the dog takes one and the girls take the other 😂

Anyway, I think these are very much a love or hate - what do you think?

We were lucky enough to move into our dream home around 7 months ago now - it's an 1870's Victorian property with lots of character and many original features.

Along with the historic charm of the building, I think the thing that really drew me to this house is that it is unspoiled - the previous owners didn't put it through any huge renovations, so it feels like a little time capsule. It hasn't been modernised in the ways that I hate, with spotlights and bifolding doors and huge open plan spaces.

It's crooked and fussy - you have to close the bathroom door just so in order to lock it and there's a knack to doing almost everything. It has its own personality and I love it.

It absolutely needs a lot of work - I'm not going to romanticise it too much and pretend that it's all pretty because we have damp, walls in terrible condition, creaking floorboards, temperature regulation problems (freezing in the winter and roasting in the summer) but we've taken it all on with our eyes wide open.

We're living in it for at least a full year to really understand how we utilise the current space, see where the light comes in and better understand our future needs as a family.

I have so many ideas for this house but here are just a few of my favourites. It feels really exciting to gather these ideas for the design and start bringing it all to life!

I mostly post interior design advice videos here but if you're interested in my renovation journey, I'd love to know what sort of stuff is most interesting to you. Is it choosing flooring, paint, furniture etc or is it more pulling together a design scheme for the whole home? Let me know what you'd like to see! 🫶🏽

If you want a low maintenance kitchen, avoid these 3 high maintenance design choices!

I am a fan of all three of these, however, different things work for different people and if you know you don't have the patience for maintaining these things then I'd avoid!

These were very trendy a few years ago but they are not particularly hard-wearing!

There are lots of darker metal finishes which will wear better as they are not coated. Try bronze and gunmetal finishes if you like a high contrast look!

Renovating? Don't make this mistake! (Bathroom edition)

I don't love tile and think it's practical but so is paint outside splash zones! If you're using tile as a design statement, then go for it but don't feel as though you need to tile evey single wall (especially not with giant slabs of tile on every wall).
