IT'S FINALLY FINISHED! 11 months after the builders arrived, we are ready to tour our finished loft conversion. We hired builders to create the shell of our l-shaped dormer and then finished everything yourselves - building the walls, laying the floor, plumbing, you name it!

For the towels you can grab special radiator hooks that will give you that little bit of extra space. Victoria Plumbing, B&Q etc should do some nice black ones to match your radiator. 2 at the top and two at the bottom will allow you to balance towels almost like a clothes horse for your bathroom without taking up the space or being an eye sore.

Love the channel. We pick up the keys to our first Reno this week - wish us luck.

It's beautiful, you have done a fantastic job! The plant in the dressing room is a peace lily I think. I totally hear you about practicality over pretty (to a point). It's so refreshing to see that honesty. It drives me round the twist when you see Instagram posts where they have like 3 toiletries on display and two pairs of obviously never-worn shoes. Good luck on the next phase!

So nice! Definitely curious about a finance breakdown of your loft conversion. It looks really stunning! The dressing room plant is a Peace Lily :)

Wow! Fantastic finish and thanks for sharing the detailed costing for your loft conversion. It was informative. Kindly share the details of your plasterer that has got around 40years experience. Thanks

Evening guys, Just what I was looking for!! A total ball park figure and how to go about planning and building permissions. Been doing the family home for decades and coming to the last big project (Kinda reverse of what you are doing) The Loft. Been a very informative watch as I have a L Shaped Victorian house to convert. The tricks used to save money.. Excellent ideas, so thanks very much for the heads up in to this big project.

[kategalaida]

Love your loft!!! Would love to know if you can recommend the builder you used, I as well know no one in london, and it looks like you are happy with them! Would be amazing!! Thank you

Regarding drying your towels, I have a wooden towel rail.

Hallo Autumn! Your new loft is so beautiful! You did such a nice job decorating! Thanks for sharing, love from Greece!

[christinatimney]

You have all done an amazing job it all looks gorgeous and, you don’t have to have a common theme being individual is so so cool x

[fayeashcroft]

well done 👍
lots of hard work

well worth it in the end
what i really like about yr channel is you explain simply what’s happening
other reno channels drone on and on
but can get the video flowing and it’s very aspiring to me

well done 👍
can’t wait for next episode

love how you have a stop and clean up day and plan what’s next. thought that was great
cheers 🥂 from

Kudos for not having a TV in the bedroom 😀 The whole loft conversion looks so well thought out and put together. I am a bit late to this video but I am catching up gradually and loving watching them all.

[tracymaule]

Absolutely stunning. Enjoy your gorgeous space xx

[carolannkelleher]

Bravo you two...it is looking incredible!xxxx

[brefnejowers]

Lovely, I always sleep better when my room is super tidy. Could you hang the towels on hooks to dry? I don't use my towel rail anymore cos I'm so desperate for the heat (old and draughty house). I'm going to check out those lamps ...
Congratulations, I can hear how happy this makes you feel x

Hi there, We have a house in East London and we are also thinking about doing exactly the same thing. Could you tell us about all your room measurements. Thank you.
