Restoration Story: Dining room transformation

In this video I detail the full restoration / renovation process of our awkward back room! As we enter our second decade (!) of trying to restore this Victorian house, I look back over some reno snaps. It has been our aim to restore this historic home back to its former glory - which in this case means the removal of later partition walls, an attempt at reviving the original quarry tile floor, and installing Arts and Crafts style panelling. I also discuss our design decisions, from William Morris wallpaper, to period Liberty furniture. Watch as I transform the new light-filled space into a candlelit summer dining room, complete with vintage tableware, antique cutlery and summer strawberries. And, as always, I play some music - in this case trying out the acoustic of our "new" room on my violin. 00:00 - 02:25A forgotten room 02:25 - 04:04 Demolition! 04:04 - 07:11 The panelling 07:11 - 08:48 A tidy up 08:48 - 09:39 Violin 09:39 - 12:01 The design influences 12:01 - 14:26 The quarry tiles 14:26 - 16:57 The Reveal As ever, thank you so much for watching.
