Renovation

Chez-Lolli & family home. Built in 1856 (we think). Originally a bakery and shop, which still houses its bread oven inside. This property oozes charm and character. We fell in love with its old stone, wooden beams and history straight away.

The outside walls will remain untouched. The interior acquired from begged, borrowed and up-cycled furniture from the decheteries and local Facebook Marketplace. We've found items including, antique wardrobes, doors and flooring - that some people just give away. Our budget isn’t massive, so we need to be conservative and choose our materials wisely.

I’ve found great inspiration on Pinterest. It’s a way to visualise how you’d like your home to look. I’d recommend anyone starting a renovation project to use an app like this to amalgamate your ideas into one place.
