@susanlecuirot1573 5 місяців тому

Whilst I love the green it may be too dark in the room. I think for a workspace too, I’d go for the corn flower , it seems more “office like” and lighter. Is there a window in the room ? 🙂

Thanks Jasmine. A lot of people saying the same and loving the cornflower blue, it seems to be the favourite atm for sure! 🙌🏻

@mollierichardson638 5 місяців тому

I think cornflower blue as it’s only a little space so with a lighter colour it will make it feel more spacious. When your working you wanna feel relaxed and calm and I think the cornflower blue is the perfect colour for it

@NickyandHarri 5 місяців тому

Thanks Mollie, that is what we love about the cornflower blue- defo gives off a great calming vibe! 🥰

You two are awesome and are doing a super great job on your mansion. Love your carpet choice and the rooms and stairs look great with it. The bedrooms and beds are beautiful and cozy. On the outhouse I would keep it light and bright to make it look larger and lighter than it is. I feel the green would have a shrinking effect and feel really closed in. The fencing and driveway turned out really nice and will be a blessing from the muddy mess you had. Well, as I close out here, I may have a tear or two running down my cheek for I have to wait a whole two weeks to see what greatness you have completed on your mansion. I hope you know that at my age this is quite a chore for I may not have that many days, weeks, months, years or decades left so it is always a monumental blessing when I get to see your next video. LOL. Have a blessed two weeks.

The panelling on stairs, wow, it looks so amazing! What a tremendous job of the driveway too. Welll done to the amazing team. 👏 I'm having some panelling done in a spare room today. Unfortunately I'm unable to do it as I've broken my arm. I prefer the cornflower blue for the outdoor office space. It looks fresh & airey. I really enjoy your videos. Take care ❤x

re the small front garden - remove the tired and unloved roses that have not been well looked after. A new rose must Not be planted in soil that previously held a rose. But roses are a good choice. So first remove the old worn out tired soil at the front. Take out a depth of 18 inches of that old soil along with the sad struggling plants. Put that old degraded soil down the back. Then replace that removed too-tired soil with a 6 inches cover of with some good quality compost topped with 12 inches of a quality seed-raising mix- (the latter is often superior to an "any old potting soil" - the latter is often too full of old rotted wood/now sawdust. Then plant row of lovely new David Austin low floribuna roses in various colours - will look glorious in spring summer and early autumn with a rest period for the roses when the weather is super cold

Gosh I don't know where to start - you've done so much! First of all my favourite bit has to be 2:35 Blanche White! Granny will love hearing Harri speak French! Well done for fitting the carpets (almost yourselves)! You'll be so happy you went for the thickest underlay. Lovely to see Danni and Jonny mucking in! I reckon Cornflower Blue would be good for the outside office. It will double up as an outdoor entertaining area. Maybe stick a beer fridge in there! I think sprucing up the front door and a decent light will enhance the porch area, and some nice plants on the right under the window will make a big difference to the approach to your house. P.S. Lovely beds!

My gut says cornflour blue for the lightness in a smaller enclosed space... You could drag light to the back with a cleverly placed mirror on the back wall of course so either colour will look lovely. But my first instinct was to go lighter. Keep it up, it's looking fantastic. And H is right - the structural stuff is just the start isn't it? The fit and finish is the lengthy bit. Not unlike vans.
