Lounge Reno & Reveal Pt 1
The before ^^
Here's Part 1 of 2 of the Lounge Reno (technically probably part 2 of 4?!) with the second instalment due next week. 1.5 hours is a bit too long for YouTube and this was a LOT of emotions in one mixing pot…
After the wobbliest couple of weeks for both Dan and I, we tried to crack on with the cottage lounge but hit snag after snag. Thankfully, we’ve picked up lots of little learnings that we can use to move faster in other areas all over the site, and we’re excited to show all the lovely kind folk our lounge/office finished next week 🥳
Remember, we're actual people who are juggling this project around our lives and work too, and although everyone has differing opinions, we're all trying to muddle through.
(P.S don't worry, we'll reuse all reusable materials elsewhere)
