class="content__text" Who has a renovation story to tell? The dust, the drama, the expense, the utter inconvenience! Today on The Great indoors podcast, we pass the mic to you, and here about your battles with the builders, the vagarity of old houses, the dust….oh the dust. This is our kitchen which we had to totally rip out after discovering rising damp shortly after moving in. What was going to be a simple rip out ended up taking the room back to brick. Plasterers, electricians, plumbers, underfloor heating, carpenters, not to mention the builder husband, and my mum who did the wallpapering! To save money, we bought Howdens off the shelf base unit carcasses, and got custom fronts made by our carpenter for a more bespoke kitchen look. Reclaimed school lab worktops and reclaimed terracotta floor tiles added period charm to our old farm house. Then wallpaper! In the north facing room I embraced the lack of light and went dark and the effect is magic. Share with me your renovation horror stories in the comments below… Wallpaper is rubarber by @borastapeter Paint is Hunters green by @zoffanyfw Reclaimed terracotta floor @ca_pietra_
