👀on the prize! A couple of weeks ago, I shared the images that @dopcox at @archilime had put together for us, to work out where things will be going in the extension. These are a much more detailed version of those, based on the info I’ve sent him, and honestly it has been SO HELPFUL - they look like photos! There are a few things that will be different ‘in real life’ - the doors and windows will be dark grey (as per the previous pics) the kitchen colour is going to be slightly different to this (see @littlewhitehouse_ - I’ll more than likely be copying hers 😂), there are a few changes to kitchen cupboard/drawer/island formation, and, of course, we’ve been on a tour of Devon picking up second-hand chairs from Facebook marketplace so the dining table will be a lot more colourful/ eclectic ... but overall, this is pretty much what we’re working towards. It still looks like the sort of kitchen and living space other people have, the sort we could only dream of, so I won’t really believe it until it’s done!! Thank you @archilime for helping us to visualise our space so well. The wine bottles at the bottom of the rack are optimistic (Wilf 😳) but let’s just live in a dreamland for the pics. #theturnerhouseproject #1930ssemirenovation #1930shouserenovation

This evening, I drove 35 miles and back again to buy 4 x chairs I spotted on Facebook marketplace. The boys thought I’d lost the plot. However, I had been watching 2 x very similar chairs on eBay for a little while (£100 plus postage for 2) and then I saw these for £10 A CHAIR!!! They are Benchairs, I believe made in Somerset in the 1960s and though I know they’re not to everyone’s taste, I love the style. I’m hoping to get a mid century modern dining table (which I am also planning on sourcing second-hand 👀) and I had planned to mix and match the chairs with a few different styles/colours or possibly a bench, so these 4 probably won’t ALL make the everyday table cut ... but look how nicely they fold down as emergency chairs 🙌 All ready for Christmas 😂 AND THEN on the way home Spotify randomly threw out Michelle McManus off Pop Idol’s ‘All This Time’ and I discovered I still know all the words, which I’m sure is shameful but I was just so happy singing along because of the chairs 🎙🎶😂 #secondhandbargain #benchairs #alllllllllthistiiimmme

Sneak peek! 👀 I wasn’t going to share these yet, as there is quite a bit about what you can see here that we already know we want to tweak or shift, and further details/colours/textures/furniture to add ... BUT in a rough-around-the-edges way, this is what we’re working towards. Dom at @archilime has been very busy creating these images (and a 3D walk-through 🙌) based on our plans and my eleventy billion emails (soz Dom 😬). I am finding it remarkably useful, as I have zero vision when looking solely at a floor plan, so this is really helping me to work out which way things should go / how big things should be / what we need to re-think. I will share the next version of these when we get there xx PS I couldn’t make our current metallic extractor hood fit, sorry for the disappointment 😳😂 #theturnerhouseproject #1930shouserenovation #archilimevisualisations
