Well, life is all about chapters... new beginnings I like to call it 🥰 🙏 ✨
I've recently completed my little renovation project house, which actually has been more than just a renovation. Its been a home and a sanctuary when I needed it most! I never get personal on here, but thought it may help someone else find strength…🌞
2 and a bit years ago I found myself without a home without a home... Being me and picking myself up, brushing myself off as I do, I then, I found this little Gem of a property and thought, perfect, and right near where I grew up, next to cockington, the sea and everything I love! 😍 🌊 🌳
I do know shes not a mansion but with 2 years of time, effort, money, and a whole lot of love I have turned her around with the help of my very good friend and amazing builder Chris Wright and a few of our amazing trusty trades! Together we rebuilt from the bones upwards as she hadn’t been touched since built in 1932! We rebuilt the bay windows which were rotten, new windows and doors, a re-wire, new plumbing, carpentry, installed heating which was non-existent, new soffits, guttering, knocked a wall down, replastered as walls were back to lath & plaster, reconfigured redesigned the bathroom, rebuilt the lean to and put a lot of love into the garden which boasts a grapevine, apple tree and Torbay’s own palm trees! 🌴
With a tonne of decorating and hard graft, she is finally ready and now on the market! 🙌 I’m quite emosh if I’m honest! However, the cute number 12 has not only provided a wonderful oasis for me and the boy to live 🐾 and, find love, its now enabled us to move on to literally, to new pastures green, where we'll be creating a wonderful new workshop/retreat venture in a field!! 🌳
So grateful for so many things and people ... and, determination is everything! Ill still be doing my beautiful Interiors butttt, watch this space for the future magic folks 🌳 🥰 🙏 ✨
