Kitchen Planning; Inspiration And First Thoughts
As those of you who follow the blog know, we are in the very early stages of renovating the back part of the house. Plans passed, we are now the process of organizing ourselves before we start trying to find a builder. Last week I showed you a pimped-up floor plan of how the new layout […]
Our Home Extension Plans Part Two; Floor Plans.
Hello everyone! Sorry for the later post this week, I’ve been busy pulling together some visuals for the blog in the hope of being a bit ahead (or hopefully maybe just ‘on’) schedule. Unlike the rest of the house, where I’ve had a chance to draw stuff up, then get started on the work ahead of […]
Our Home Extension Plans Part One; Outside
Those of you who have been following Designsixtynine from the start, may remember the original house tour, where I talked about future plans to tear down two old extensions and replace them with something shiny and new. If you don’t, then catch up here. Well, I have an update. Extension plans have been drawn up, submitted […]
Living Room Reveal Part 2… Finally!

Fancying seeing how you can pimp up a cheapo set of bookshelves, into a thing of style and substance? Then prepare yourself for the Billy Bookcase Built-In Bonanza! If you haven’t already […]
My DIY (did it myself) 5-arm ceiling light.
Before the big living room reveal I thought I would share a few process shots and posts of how I got to the end result. Of course, it’s also because I like a big dramatic build up to these things, but it kinda makes sense to show some elements first, like the fireplace makeover here. So, […]
Front Door Makeover.
Follow my blog with Bloglovin Whilst I had been busy renovating the interior of Number 69, the outside had been looking rather… sad. With the lovely weather we’d been having during April, and with me being on a fortnights holiday, I decided to take a break from the living room and enjoy some of the […]
Living Room Planning Part Two; Multiple Focal Points
Bravery. A definite requirement when designing a room that is slightly out-with your comfort zone. As I mentioned in my last post, I’ve been used to decorating on a slightly smaller scale, in properties that didn’t really need to be grand in any way. Number 69, is a different kind of girl though. She has the […]
