Designing Our Future Home Inside the Manor

Hi everyone, welcome back to Life at the Manor! This week’s video is a really special one for us because we’re finally sharing a look around the private wing of the manor the part of the house Emma and I will eventually call home.

It feels exciting (and a little nerve-wracking!) to show you where we’re at in the renovation. We’ll take you through the rooms we hope to live in soon, talk about our ideas for the downstairs spaces, and share what it’s been like working with our architect during this early design phase.

Inside this video you’ll see:

The rooms we’re planning to turn into our bedroom, bathroom, and dressing room
How the downstairs could one day look (fingers crossed for planning approval!)
Some of the big dreams we have for the future of this house
Honest chat about the challenges of renovating a Grade I listed home
We hope this video gives you a little peek at where we are right now and maybe even lets you imagine what this incredible old house could become with us.

We’d love to know what you think if this were your home, what would you do with the space? Leave us a comment below, we always read them and your ideas honestly inspire us.

Thank you so much for watching and being part of this journey. It means the world to us to have you along as we figure out how to turn this Elizabethan manor into a home for our family and future generations.
