Elysian Space is our lifestyle and renovation adventure, here in the Alicante, Costa Blanca region of Spain…

Renovations Galore!

In 2022 we bought our forever home in Alicante that totally needs transforming… Finca Esperanza…

Follow us with this video diary of our crazy fun lives, experiences and challenges in turning our forever home into a beautiful finca…

Peter (my long suffering husband!) was a builder in the UK and is bringing his knowledge to the works, though out here in Spain things are done quite a bit differently!

All of the properties included in our channel belong to us, either in Spain or the UK and we have taken our time creating our elysium within each one!

Hope you enjoy and if you do please like & subscribe🛎️

Thank you

Sallie, Peter & Co xxx

Hi my little friend, another lovely video to cheer me up after a busy week here . Congratulations on your 20th Wedding Anniversary, & beautiful photos, what better way to spend it than at the builders merchants 🤣. Love the table Peter was using to demonstrate the roof tiles, I'd want to do something with that. Like us you never stop, but the heat is knocking me out by lunch time. Take care, everwhere looking good. Stay cool, love until next week. ❤❤

The table is mine! Peter just happened to pop his tiles on it! I will be transforming it in the very near future!! 🩷 Have a wonderful week, take it easy and see you next time xx 🥰😘

Hola my friend, as always another great video. Still loving the pink chair, and hope I'm not spoiling any surprise's for when you get home, but the wall looks great. Looks like your Dad loves gardening, its beautiful, enjoy your time there. We've been out today buying trees. We have a lovely Olive Grove, but area around the house was quite bare, but we getting there, bit at a time. Take care, enjoy your time with your family. Hugs as always ♥️♥️

Hello! I have arrived back🙌🏼🎉 I am over the moon with what Peter has achieved🩵 he was obviously working very hard… My Dad did love his garden, now though my mum has to try to keep it under control… she does curse his planting at times as she spends most days in the garden tidying and cutting!!! I do help when I ho back to visit and Peter helped when he was in the UK❤ OOOOoooo I would love a proper olive grove. Planting trees does take time especially when you have to choose the right trees! I bet it will look amazing in no time xxx 🌴🌳🌴 Thank you for all your support 🩷🥰 we truly appreciate it xx Take care in this heat and we shall see you next time xx 🩷 xx

Hi my friend, well I'm sure you know that I'd like the Pink ! As for discussing the sail, I'm impressed how civilized you two are , we've spent a week or more trying to decide on a rug.... Our discussion didn't go too well 😂😂😂. Finally bought one, and it's ended up in another room . Apart from that all's well. Enjoy your week, rest now & then. Love to you all ❤️

Hola my lovely friend. Sat watching this video at 4am Friday morning. Always up early, love the mornings here. Love the steps, another beautiful job, well done Peter. No surprise that I also love the lanterns. The tiles in the downstairs of our house are quite badly damaged, upstairs perfect. We didn't want to take them up, so much else going on, but had seen laminate that looked exactly like tiles. We'd had new interior doors fitted, so that seemed the best option, but joiner said NO, apparently in these old houses it can be toxic So we living with the tiles, and even though I'm not a fan of rugs , that's what I'm going to get. I'm thinking like a Sisal.... Glad Nell is well, and the other two are happy. Love to you all, remember to rest now & then. Love & hugs ❤️❤️

Hi again , I've been busy outside, planting few bits. We have been in this house 2 years now & we've never stopped, but we have tried to keep the character as much as we can. Our last house we built from scratch & unusual for me especially, it was very modern. John likes modern, but this is a Spanish house & more me. Having said that I did manage to mix old & new in other house & it worked, do doing much the same here. Had to get rid of a lot of things, but love starting to collect again. Love the Rastro's, but miss a good Charity shop in our area. Make up for it when visiting UK, I take big suitcase. Take care, love to the boys. ❤️❤️

Hello! Oh I am sorry, when I watched the video before uploading it, on my computer I could hear me🙄 Yes, it was about Nell😒 She turned into Mr Hyde on Monday night and it was awful… Myself and Lobo were the ones underfire! Poor Nell was not herself and was very aggressive… we got next to no sleep on top of lacking sleep from the weekend also… i can see why people use it as a form of torture! 😢 Since then we have been to the vets twice and spoken with them and they have switched up her meds, so fingers crossed for the future. For now our sweet Nell is back though she is very woozy🩷🐶🩷 The boys truly are doing great in the UK… I have more to put up on Sunday, much more of them!!! Have a fabulous Friday and see you soon xxx Thank you so much for supporting us 🩷🫶🏼🩷

Hi my lovely friend, another great video. Work in the UK looking good, Peter & Zoli are a perfect team.. Your sideboard update looks beautiful, and I've recently done an old unit that was left in our house. The previous owners left everything, and not like me, but i wasnt tempted to keep anything apart from that one piece. On moving two years ago we had to get rid of quiet a lot of furniture, but i wouldn't part with my painted & distressed bits. Still love the rustic look. Have a good week, love from the mountains. ❤️❤️

They have worked together for years and do gel nicely🙌🏼 I am hoping to continue with my furniture updates…🤞🏼 With the 5 kids all my pieces were rustic🤭 that way you never noticed if anything untoward happened 😂 I truly do love working on the pieces and cannot wait to complete more… I believe I will need to get rid of some of my ‘stuff’ downsizing can be heart breaking🤪 but until the house is how I would like it then I must keep bits to pop in place!

Hola my friend. Firstly I hope your soon feeling better, but no matter what you always have a smile on your face. I got very excited seeing the BBQ area, and knew straight away what your plan was with the plate rack 😂 your next project. Would be mine too. At our last house ( which was originally just a field ) full of Olives & Almonds, we eventually planted 400 Oleander and made an Orchard in which we planted 70 fruit trees. All well established when we sold up.... This house is very different, so we mostly living with what we have, and it's beautiful , and hopefully less work. You do well walking the dogs & talking especially in the wind. Try to rest, plenty of ginger, honey & lemon.... Cure all. Love Patricia ❤️

@@elysianspace1975 Hi again , and first I apologize thinking Sam was in his dressing gown. Just found out about Oodie's. Our Granddaughter been visiting & showed us them. Don't stop how you do things, your videos are what we all like to watch. Think I maybe mentioned we moved into an old Casita 18 months ago after building our last house from scratch. This project has brought more stress & tears than the build , but we love it , keeps us going & we plan something to do every day. We first noticed this property 18 years ago, unlived in, but couldn't find out anything about it. We lived completely off grid for 6 years, then built a large, modern house but this Cadita was always in back of our minds. Finally took bull by the horns & searched owners. Long, stressful process, but we finally got it. Most think we were mad, especially at our age, but we love it, and have always liked something different... So our work carries on. Enjoy what your doing, and keep making us happy. Hugs ❤️

@@patriciapadgett4696 wow! You had mentioned about the house build and now your forever home, I assumed it was all complete🥰 though with nothing to do I believe you just stop living! So I am thrilled you have projects still taking up your time! Though I will say the same to you as you always say to me, remember to rest too 🩷 Yes, our kids love their Oodies and I must admit I do steal them when I am sat doing paper work and am feeling chilly🥰 I hope your granddaughter enjoys her time with you and you all have fun 🩷💕🩷 See you next time xx one day would love to see pictures of your renovations tooooo xx Take care 🌸

Hi honey. Your definitely a girl after my own heart..... I've got a thing for chairs , & my favorite colour is green. Since we moved into this old house I find my bits & pieces look more at home, although I did mix old & new in our other very modern home, and it worked. Peter & Zoli are a good team in the UK, and the house is looking good. Take care, rest now & then. Love Patricia ❤️

Hey! How are you doing? Hahaha! 🤭 me and chairs are a nightmare for Peter🤣 I pick them up from anywhere and either paint them or reupholster them!! I much prefer older properties to be honest and do try to mix bits and bobs… I just adore the lived in look rather than clean lines! With 5 boys I really had no chance! Peter and Zoli have worked together a long time now and so cab achieve so much more than if Peter was on his own!… It most definitely is coming around, just weather is hampering them… Look after yourself and see you on the next one xxx thank you for always commenting, I love to hear from you 🩷 Sal x

A quick reply for you, Peter has had problems in the past with skimming over Artex. So he chose the plasterboard way! He is dreading the sanding/rubbing down 😬🤭…

Hola. Proud of you tackling the cornice & moulding... Glad Peters feeling better, hope he doesn't overdo it. We didn't have much choice in our small kitchen, so my washing machine is in one of our two bathrooms. Works well as bathroom / utility room, and its downstairs. Enjoy the sunshine, don't work too hard. Love, Patricia ❤️

Hola, sorry Peter has been poorly, but you seemed to cope well on your own. I've also recently spent 3 days on my own, unlike you having the boys, I was completely alone, just dogs & cats. Solar started playing up, generator wouldn't work, but I fixed it all 💃. First time in our 18 years here that I've been alone in the Campo, bit nervous, but us girls can do it. Love the chair, I've got a thing about chairs and got odd ones scattered around. Love to you both, and make sure Peter takes it easy. ♥️♥️

Hi you two. Work coming on well, looking good. When we moved here 18 years ago we didnt bring any furniture, but lots of boxes of my treasured collection of mainly beautiful pottery, some pictures and other bits. We moved to land with no house, and our house in uk had delph racks, dressers, lots of pine furniture, but we ended up building a very ultra modern house. We did mix old & new, but lots had to go. So car boots, and what was left i gave away. No regrets, and since we mived from that modern house into an old Spanish house my collecting starts again. Its a hobby and my trips to UK always end up filling my case 😂. You have some lovely bits and perfect setting fir them. Enjoy deciding where they go. Love Patricia ❤

Hey! Thank you so so much for always giving us encouragement and for your lovely words 💜 I do love a good vintage find, usually antique pieces are out of my price range🤭 It is the fun of the finding them though, so have so much fun searching out your fabulous new old pieces🙌🏼 I am terrible with buying bits from Ebay and Etsy, have them delivered to my mum who looks after them for me until I visit to pit in my bags to return with 🤭 she is great really 🥰 Am finishing up my decisions, and still finding other pieces around the house tooooo! Hopefully you like the finished result next time?!?🤞🏼 Take care and see you next time xxx 🩷
