Thoughts on the next bathroom... (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Well folks, contrary to what Instagram might have you believe - I aren’t actually a huge fan of taking baths! Now, before you wrinkle your noses and feel sorry for Cot… I am a shower man, and promise I’m usually clean as a whistle - renovating means 2 showers a day are the norm (I’m someone that can’t function without a shower in the morning, first thing, it blows my mind some people can roll out of bed, wash their face, and crack on with the day haha!)…<a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-im
If I could wave a magic wand, what would I change about Admirals House? (opens the original)

Read excerpt
I waited 4 years before I could create my dream kitchen here at Admirals - primarily a budgeting decision - I needed to save up before I could make the kitchen happen but goodness was it worth waiting for! So, I thought I’d talk through the thoughts behind the design, what I love about it and if there’s anything I’d change!<a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ZmQT!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.a
