Happy Friday. Autumn is really starting to turn leaves now even if it’s so warm. Can’t wait for autumn and winter gatherings around the table and will try to do them more this year.

Choosing the right architect really does matter.

For our previous house, we actually drew up all the plans and submitted the planning application ourselves, long before AI was even a thing!

And while drawing an extension and getting planning permission is one thing, creating a home that feels beautifully considered is something completely different.

It’s all in the details. The proportions, the materials, how spaces connect, how natural light moves through the house and how everything works together.

A good architect sees things you might never have thought of and knows how to turn a fairly ordinary extension into something really special.

Having done it both ways, I can honestly say that investing in the right architect is one of the best decisions we made with this house.

It’s not just about adding more space, it’s about making that space feel right. 🤎

One of the very big expenses been the front of the house but it’s been so worth it. We have changed pretty much every single bit of it and reinstated the original features to give this house her glory back. From removing paint from bricks, to reinstating original porch and Edwardian tile path.

Kitchen island.

This was actually one of the biggest decisions when we were planning the whole extension. I remember going back and forth about having the island facing the garden, and then The Venetian Pantry mentioned that it was one of the best decisions she’d made — how lovely it is to look out at the garden while you’re cooking, and how often you actually need to go the other way.

The width of our house allowed us to do it, so it almost felt silly not to!

And I absolutely love it. I know it’s not the typical kitchen layout, but I think that’s exactly why we love it so much.

We were also very lucky to have a brilliant architect who considered every possible layout for our dream kitchen before we landed on this one.

My future allotment garden! The back of the garden already had concrete, as it used to be a parking space. I always dreamed of having an allotment so we have a good start on it - the base, gravel. I was initially against gravel as I thought it would be hard to walk on or pull bikes but these gravel mats changed everything from . It feels so super sturdy when you walk I absolutely love it! Recommending to everyone who is thinking about installing gravel. Mats kindly by
