When we first laid eyes on the 18th-century Dower House, we fell in love with the gorgeous English countryside, but over the years, the home itself had lost all its historic charm. Old wooden beams? Gone. Brick fireplaces? Plastered over. Stunning windows, all but forgotten. This place was begging for a rescue, especially the snug (sitting room) with its modern fireplace and crumbling walls.

We’ve always dreamed of having a cozy room to read in or relax by the fire. Join us as we transform this sadly neglected room back into a stunning English cottage sitting room! With tons of old beams, lime plaster, DIY paneling, secret doors, and months of hard work, we uncover hidden architectural gems, restore a huge brick fireplace and craft DIY furnishings that bring new life to this old home. For those who are joining us for the first time, watch our early progress on the sitting room at    • CREEPIEST Discovery Yet in ABANDONED ...   and    • Restoring our British Estate with Pla...   and enjoy the full transformative reveal!
