\n <\/p>\n

Needless to say, 2021 isn\u2019t going to be a huge year for renovating now we have a baby in tow! However, we do still have a few things we\u2019d like to achieve. At the start of every new year, I generally share our plans for that year, so I thought I\u2019d still do the same this year, albeit a little later than usual!<\/p>\n

We\u2019re hoping to start back on the DIY real soon, so hopefully, this is what\u2019s in store for 2021!\u2026<\/p>\n

Baby Room<\/h3>\n

We didn\u2019t have any plans to furnish\/decorate a baby room before the baby arrived, but at some point in the next six months, it\u2019s definitely going to be on the agenda.<\/p>\n

The room in question is the smallest bedroom \u2013 and if you\u2019ve been a reader here for a while, you might remember us \u2018renovating\u2019 this room back in 2015\/2016<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The wallpaper has been stripped, the walls (mostly) repaired and we\u2019ve even sanded the floorboards in there and re-instated an original victorian bedroom fireplace<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n
\"small<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

However, there were some things we didn\u2019t complete. For example, the floor-to-ceiling cupboard is full of old leaky water tanks (3 of them!), the electric radiator we bought for this room has never worked (we even had it replaced and it\u2019s still unreliable!), the skirting boards haven\u2019t been finished and basically, the whole room is going to need a bit of an overhaul to make it baby-friendly.<\/p>\n

I haven\u2019t really got a \u2018theme\u2019 or style in mind for the room yet, so I\u2019d better start thinking as I\u2019m sure the months are going to speed by!<\/p>\n

Basement<\/h3>\n

Our main focus for 2021 will be the basement, as it was for much of 2020 as well. We\u2019ve already spent months stripping back the walls down here and saving to have electrics put in (which is now DONE FYI \u2013 more on that soon!) so we can finally begin properly putting the room back together. I\u2019m talking about decorating, furnishing and giving the rooms their purpose!<\/p>\n

\n
\"victorian<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

I wrote a blog post last year explaining how we plan to use the rooms, which you can read here<\/a>, although our plans have slightly <\/em>changed since then.<\/p>\n

There are four rooms in total and since we aren\u2019t made of money, it\u2019s going to continue being a slow process \u2013 but now we have electrics down there we can at least finally begin to move forward and actually use the space. I\u2019m so excited about this one and we\u2019ll have lots of DIY builds hopefully coming your way! Although don\u2019t get too excited, we\u2019re certainly not planning on \u2018finishing\u2019 the basement in 2021.<\/p>\n

Living Room Alcoves<\/h3>\n

I think this has been on the to-do list for about 3 years, but it definitely needs doing this year. At some point, we\u2019re going to have a crawling baby around the house and having copious tools\/materials sitting around on the ground floor won\u2019t be ideal.<\/p>\n

The plan is fairly simple \u2013 two cupboards on either side of the chimney with shelves above. Once this is done we can finally unpack all our DVDs\/Games\/Books which have been in storage boxes for the last 7 years!!<\/p>\n

\n

The Allotment<\/h3>\n

A new one to add to the list this year, the allotment! Last year we spent weeks de-weeding and prepping the ground for winter<\/a> \u2013 this year we\u2019ll be building raised beds, creating a new layout and hopefully, growing some veggies!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s going to be somewhat difficult to get the building aspect done pre-spring with a newborn baby in tow, so I think this will become a bit of a solo project for Grant. Maybe a good excuse to get out of the house though, haha!<\/p>\n

\n
\"allotment<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

I\u2019m hoping we can start off growing our veggies in the conservatory at home, so I won\u2019t need to visit the plot as much in the beginning. Hopefully, by the time the baby is a few months old, we\u2019ll have worked out a good system.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s it! There\u2019s a few smaller projects left to finish, like the pond, but this list would be a mile long if I listed all those! Let\u2019s hope 2021 is going to be a much better year than 2020 \u2013 which I\u2019m sure everyone is wishing for.<\/p>\n

A very belated Happy New Year!<\/p>\n
