A different kind of video from me today! If you follow me on Instagram you'll have seen that I recently bought my first house, a 300 year old cottage in North West England. I wanted a cute place with character and I certainly found it! I've watched about 5000 of these house tour videos so it's exciting to finally have my own. As you'll see, there are plenty of jobs to do 😅 But I'm super happy to be here and ready to make a house a home.
I filmed this on my iPhone and something weird seems to have happened with the colours during the edit in Premiere, so if my face looks a weird colour, that's why (I hope).

CONGRATULATIONS Lily. What a gem you have found and bought. It is so adorable and watching you take us through your new 321 year old cottage was like watching a romance film. Absolutely lovely. Not having a separate shower is the norm for us in Canada but lots of people doing renovations break down a wall and add it. In the meantime, all you need is a shower curtain and a rod for it. The garden is amazing and I am confident that you will make it colorful and sweet. I can't wait to see your own personal changes put into it. Thank you for sharing.

Ah that is such a lovely thing to say, thank you so much! The space does have a romantic vibe (maybe not the bathroom 😅). I think we may end up with a temporary shower solution, depending when I manage to sort the bathroom out properly haha!

I'm so happy for you. What a cute house and THAT GARDEN!!! You're going to love it. I hope you show us an update once in a while. I love renovation shows too and can't wait to see what you do with it. Love the bedroom wallpaper and that sweater closet...glorious sweaters. Maybe someday you could line it with cedar. I'm sure you have so many ideas. ❤ from New York State.

Congratulations on your first home Lily! I love the kitchen, it's narrow but very charming. The garden is an irresistible opportunity. I agree on the overgrown evergreens, they're pretty until they become overgrown beasts. I'd want anything that blooms to be fragrant, and to have as many blooming plants as possible. That's also good for pollinators too. Consider raised beds for the garden, and I'd raise them at least 3 feet or a meter as you brits say. I'd love to see the progress as you renovate and make it your own.

Gorgeous garden, I would invest in a shredder with all those trees then you can put the shreddings on the garden. The house is lovely too 🙂

@munchkinheaven7877 Час назад

What a beautiful house, you have some lovely ideas. I have done up several houses in the U.K. and I remember one person who saw one of the houses saying, “what have you bought this dump for? You are polishing the brasses on a sinking ship!!” When I had finished and sold it for a massive profit they weren’t so dismissive lol. The garden is beautiful too and I can’t wait to see what you do to it, I hope you post everything on RU-vid as I don’t subscribe to Instagram and I don’t want to miss anything.

Congratulations! I am not impressed with the carpeted bathroom with the toilet seat in front of the window, but everything else makes me green with envy. When I saw the garden I nearly fainted. You are a lucky lady, Lily. This home will inspire you to make some great designs which I am looking forward to knit. 🎉

You can get secondary glazing that consists of plastic track with glass sliding window panes that sit on the inside, the track is screwed to the window sill and top casement, maybe a cheaper option until you can sort your finances out, sometimes older houses throw up unexpected surprises that can be costly but need doing, so to keep a bit in reserve is prudent.

Consider a heating mat under your bedroom carpet, if even just in the area next to your bed and under a chair.

Thank you Lily for sharing this exciting journey with us. I am delighted you have found such a beautiful, cosy cottage with so much potential. I am excited to see the various stages. Love all your paint and wallpaper samples. Did you get these online as we are hoping to update our living room and I haven't been struck on paper in the high street DIY stores. I love the garden, it too has so much potential and you have great plans for it. Enjoy the journey, there will be set backs and upsets but you are lucky to have found such a lovely place to make home. Thank you again for sharing. Happy planning and decorating (and of course knitting) 😊

@lilykatemakes 4 часа назад

Thank you for watching! I think I found a good one here 😁 Most of the samples were ordered online yes, although I ordered a few from independent decor shops. I found that once I started searching online, my algorithms started spamming me with sponsored ads (and knew my taste pretty well, to be fair 😅). I have a whole box full of samples now, as many offer your first 4 samples free or for very cheap! There have been setbacks and upsets already - boring jobs involving drains and the roof and whatnot haha. But I knew this was bound to happen with something so old! Thanks again!

@kazwahmelbourne9271 9 часов назад

What an adorable cottage and garden, so so much potential. Would you consider extending your "dinning room" to include the utility room, as in take down the wall between the rooms? I do love the carpet and pretty much everything. Thanks for taking us through and Im looking forward to seeing the attic :). I just loved this video. Congratulations! super excited for you.

@lilykatemakes 4 часа назад

Isn't it just! I was so excited when I found it. The utility room isn't in a pretty state at the moment but it's been superrr useful to have a space for the washing machine, vacuum, drying rack, tools, and miscellaneous stuff that I don't want on show! You could join the rooms but I quite like being able to close the door and not see it 😅 I'll definitely make a whole video about the attic when the time comes!

@kasiamichalec2305 12 часов назад

Congratulations on purchasing your first home. It is very exciting to see your space being slowly transformed to what you invision. 300 years ago my country has not even existed, lol. I live in Canada. In my town there are some building who are “very historic” and they get to be around 100 years old.

@lilykatemakes 4 часа назад

Thank you! I'm hoping it'll be nice to look back on this video in a few years time and see how it's changed 🥰 Canada is just a baby! Haha. We probably do take our history for granted here! My house isn't even the oldest on the road, others are from the 1600s and the road was originally Roman.

You need a gateleg dining table. One with two fold down wings, with the middle portion of the table is shallow but long. Think like Ikea's Norden but a much lighter weight than the birch wood version.

@lilykatemakes 4 часа назад

That's exactly what I thought, then it'll fold away to pretty small but expand quite large! Undecided to go for a fairly modern one (I'm keen to introduce some modern elements) or find a cool vintage one secondhand. We shall see!

Maybe you need to look for one of those tables that packs away into a coffee table size? Not sure what they are called. That way the long room could be multifunctional 😊

That's the plan I think! A gateleg / drop leaf table that folds down super small and opens out long and thin. If I can find the perfect one!

@@lilykatemakes i suppose it depends on the style you want. Some are really clever and you’d never know it was a big table folded away. Anyway you’ve bought a beautiful house and it looks like it’s going to be a wonderful home. Well done xx
