Longtime T lurker, didn’t think it would be our Tiffany that would start my posting history
but I follow the house account, didn’t even realise who she was for ages into it. She did a Q&A recently and she said her husband was a farmer!
Could see the logic in demo’ing the old house for the new place, especially when you have her
dad’s contacts at your disposal and it means you can get pretty much exactly what you want. It only seems to have three bedrooms which, given it’s clear they’ll want to sell the place on and the price they’ll need to get for it to recoup their investment, is nuts. They’re also going to lose the incredible view as there’s a site in front of them with planning, she’s posted about that before.
Internally the style is very different to her previous place, which would give you an idea of her taste. New house has a lot of interesting features (like a sliding door on the kitchen counter to hide your toaster and microwave away) but is completely devoid of colour and personality- no bold or interesting choices anywhere. Colour scheme throughout of black, grey and beige. It just screams “investment” rather than a couple’s first home together.
Most impressed about how it all went to schedule- a four month build when any other projects I know of (including my own house!) have faced delay after delay with material shortages, supply/delivery issues, contractors isolating etc. I did uncharitably think “well if there’s one customer they don’t want to let down, it’ll be her
da”. Ah well, good luck to them, I’ll probably borrow her toaster hidey-hole idea
