AD - This post is in collaboration with Flooring365 I've mentioned briefly before on my blog that George and I are currently in the process of saving to buy our first house and despite the absolute hell of 2020, I'm still hopeful that this will be our last Christmas in our current home. In November we'll have been renting this flat for 6 years and whilst we've had some great times here, we've outgrown it and now I'm on a countdown until we can really get the ball rolling with buying out first house. Whilst lockdown meant that we could actually save more than we intended this year, as I'm sure we all know it's had a real effect on the economy and because of that getting on the property ladder is proving even harder than it was before. 10% deposits are hard to come by now which is really what most young people rely on so it's not exactly a greattttt time to be thinking of moving. It's not stopped me scrolling through Rightmove most days of the week though. By doing that though, it's meant we're really starting to work out what it is we want from our next home so I thought I'd share some of the things on my house viewing checklist. Location, Location, Location One of the most important things with choosing our next home is location. Ideally we'd love to find a house in a lovely neighbourhood close-by to a park, hopefully not on a main road, not too far from a supermarket and as we're likely to be there for quite a few years, we also need to consider the schools in the area. I'm aware we're unlikely to find the perfect house in the perfect location so I'm sure they'll be things to compromise on but it's good to have an idea at least of what we're looking for. We've got a few different areas in mind that we like the look of but we definitely need to do some further research. Good Flooring I have quite a clear idea in my mind of how I'd like our next home to be set out and I may already have several boards on Pinterest dedicated to my dream living room/bedroom/bathroom/kitchen but it's good to be prepared! One thing I'll be looking for when viewing houses is the flooring situation. Whilst it may be we need to change the flooring over time anyway, if we could move in somewhere and not have to take on a massive job like that straight away, that would be fab! I'd love wooden flooring downstairs, I love the dark wood style at the moment that I keep seeing and I already have so many ideas for how to decorate the living room around it. With having a dog, wooden flooring is just something that would make life a bit easier. A Decent Sized Garden We only have a small shared garden where we currently live so anything more than that will be a bonus. A decent sized garden would be the dream though so we can create a cute seating area, maybe on some decking - a place we can chill in the Summer and enjoy barbecues! I also think Bear would love the extra space a garden would bring, in fact I know he would and as we hope to get him a brother or sister at some point, having easy access to a garden for toilet training would be a dream. It was a bit of a nightmare this time round with several flights of stairs to go! A Big Kitchen The kitchen will probably be the main thing I look for when we actually get inside any houses we're viewing. It's where I spend a lot of my time cooking and baking and I just need more space than we have now. I actually quite like our kitchen now and it's not that it's even that small but I'm someone who always ends up using all of the worktops and by the end it looks like a bomb has hit so if there was a bit more space so that's no longer the case, brilliant! We're also quite low on cupboard space in our current kitchen so that's something else I'd have my eye out for. Storage Space Following on from my last comment, we're just generally quite low on storage in our current home. As it's a flat, it was always going to be the case but over the years we've accumulated a LOT of stuff and whilst we regularly de-clutter it somehow just never feels like we gain any extra room from it. In an ideal world I'd have a big pantry in the kitchen, they'd be storage maybe under the stairs and lots of wardrobe space but I think all of those things together may be unlikely. Just a bit of extra space in each room would be heaven compared to what we have now. So, that's 5 things that are currently on my house viewing checklist! I have no idea what sort of house we'll end up in and whilst of course I have quite clear ideas in my head, I'm really excited to just be somewhere new, putting our own stamp on the place and it actually being ours. We're SO ready for it now and it's the natural next step so I'm just hoping the world sorts itself out soon and we can get started. Have you bought a house before?

Everyone has their own understanding of how a house should look. Some feel the coziest in a small dwelling next to the woods while others dream about owning a big property with a basketball court next to a lake.

As a general rule the space between the legs on the long side is 45cm less than the overall width. There is also plenty of space for a chair at each end of table. OUR SPECIAL WOOD. Please read before purchasing:Our genuine reclaimed wood is carefully hand-selected for its imperfect appearance. Each plank is sourced from local reclamation experts and has often come from old buildings or an industrial background. Therefore cracks, scuffs, open grain, old nail holes, saw marks, hammer indents and historic paint and rust traces are a common characteristic. We embrace all of these features as they are an integral part of the look and feel of our designs. We occasionally use filler in a complimentary colour, to sure up larger cracks, cuts or imperfections.Unevenness and small shallows in the wood are to be expected. The top of your table may not be perfectly flat as reclaimed wood is not an engineered or manufactured surface. Timbers are arranged to showcase each, bump, dip, knot and crack as these features and quirks give our pieces their individuality and charm. As such unstable items, such as tall stem wine glasses may not sit flat in certain areas so coasters are advised. This is all part of the theatre and experience of owning a one-off handmade piece of reclaimed wood furniture.As the reclaimed timber adjusts over time to the conditions in your home, there may be slight movements in the wood such as shrinkage between planks, as well as small cracks opening and closing depending on the environment. This may mean your table develops a small wobble, which can easily be fixed by placing a felt pad under one of the feet.Each piece of our salvaged wood is totally unique and individual in almost every aspect. As such colour, texture and grain will vary across your item(s). The images of the colours and finishes in the gallery are indicative only and can vary. Please contact us if you wish to match the finish of a product you’ve ordered from us previously and we’ll do our best.In the unlikely event you find the character or a particular detail in the reclaimed wood is not for you then we are happy to accept returns and offer a full refund however products should be returned at your cost, securely packaged and insured, within fourteen days of receipt of your order. We cannot refund items damaged on return to us so please package with care. DELIVERY:Delivery will be made usually within 3-5 working days once your order is complete.
