Let's have a chat about that little toilet on your ground floor - isn't it time to show it some love? There is heaps of potential for these little rooms and it's the perfect space to go bold!
Enjoy this little room and get it ready for company with all Lu's tips on how to create a truly memorable WC!
'Today, we're talking about WCS, those small little toilets on the ground floor that often get overlooked, but I don't think they should be because let's face it, if you're at home, you use them regularly. And it's where your guests almost inevitably will go whilst they're around your house. So if you do a lot of entertaining or you do a lot of hanging out at home, it's probably a good idea to have a little think about giving your WC some TLC. It's a great space in the home to just go a little bit crazy, no-one's going to be in there for long. The door's always shut and if you've got any design decisions that you're umming and arghing about, whether they're too much, whether you might get a bit bored of them over time, the downstairs WC is the place.

Cozy up with a cup of tea and join Lu and Gareth for an eye opening episode of "When The Dust Settles". Gareth, the super friendly owner of Keepers Cottage, will take us on a journey through his unexpected home renovations and a move to the stunning Scottish Highlands. He shares how a renovation project during lockdown left him feeling burnt out and out of love with the whole renovation process, and how he was hesitant to take on another project. But, as fate would have it, Gareth stumbled upon an old stone cottage in Scotland that he couldn't resist. With humour and wit, he recounts his experiences of adapting to the slower pace of life in the Highlands, and how he's learned to handle the ongoing renovation projects that keep popping up in his new home. You won't want to miss Gareth's valuable insights and lessons learned on navigating unexpected home projects whilst embracing the beauty of rural living. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy this amusing and friendly episode!
