I did exactly the same thingConfession ... after Zanna ranted about the M&S 'copy' I went bought one haha. Not to be spiteful, I genuinely liked it!
Agreed, I’m not American but it looks nothing like the walk in wardrobes where I’m from.It's not a walk in closet, it's a room with wardrobes & no bed! I'm American I have a walkin closet, it's not the same!
Especially if it's stuff that JoJo designer extraordinaire (lol) bought. Like, surely, she has to show receipts and so on. But Zambia thinks those basic AF handles are so special she must keep the secret to herself. Her entire house is as basic and generic as she is.I find the “sorry not sure where it’s from” (which happens a lot) quite distasteful. You have that much new stuff in your house that you literally have no idea where things are from, how much they’d have cost etc.
Agreed! There is nothing sustainable about how she decorates her house. Instead of built in wardrobes and desks (which I agree with others are SO 90s!) why doesn’t she visit thrift stores and Etsy to find beautiful old furniture that she can upcycle. Or if she insists on built in furniture, why not work with a company that uses sustainable materials. OR find sustainable materials yourself and work with a chippy to build what you want.I give it a year or two, the panelling furniture and decor won’t be insta worthy anymore and I bet the whole house is redecorated again. There is nothing sustainable about how she lives her life.
My god. The budget for this project. It’s absolutely insane. I just spent more than £15k on a new kitchen (cabinets only), a bathroom and a small ensuite. I can’t even fathom how much they are spending. Do they think it’ll add £100k on to the selling price?!Just watched it but skipped through a lot as almost died of boredom. The main points I could gather are as follows (so basically nothing new that she hasn’t already shown a million times on her stories):
- they have entered phase 2 of the renovations now which will involve the 3 guest bedrooms, walk in wardrobe and 4 bathrooms (yes, FOUR bathrooms).
- She then does a tour of the kitchen and says the only remaining job is to change the cupboard handles to antique brass ones to fit with the vibe of the house
.
- The snug is finished other than needing to change some of the prints on the wall and change the sliding doors from white to black.
- Ant’s office is shown next and it’s a small dark room compared to Zanna’s massive office
.
- Livingroom next and Zanna makes a dig about the many issues they had with the contractors but everything is pretty much finished in there.
- The garden next and they discuss how their furniture for it should arrive in a month. Her favourite feature of the house are the french doors leading from the kitchen to the garden.
- They are going to panel the main bathroom
.
- Panelling the main guest bedroom and giving it an “earthy vibe”. Total snooze fest!
I bet they spent at least 20k on getting pretentious JoJo to throw blankets over the sofas and put wicker baskets on the shelves. That’s what many people earn in a year!My god.

Panel the main bathroom?! Well that'll be a joy for the cleaner making sure there's no moisture in the corners of the panels. I remember when I was a kid - we're talking 90s here - my parents did the bathroom with tongue and groove style wooden slats. My dad said looking back it was an awful decision as whilst it looked good (at the time anyway!) It was a nightmare to clean and moisture in bathrooms just gets everywhere even with good ventilation! ETA - why not just tile over and paint like a normal person?! Or why not just leave it be if its in good condition (which it probably is!)Just watched it but skipped through a lot as almost died of boredom.

Her plan for this house is like toxic mold's dream. Imagine the nightmare if the SURVIVED toxic mold, that they brought on themselves by panelling a frigging bathroom.Panel the main bathroom?!

They must have. My bathrooms and kitchen were the most basic stuff available too. Nothing high end or fancy. And I live near to her and labour is super expensive at the moment. I don’t get why Ant is letting her spend sooo much on this house?! A big extension I can see, you’re adding square footage. But this is LITERALLY just for Instagram.I think they’ve spent well over 100k. Maybe more around 200k if you include all of the furniture and shelf tat
