My Dublin House

My Dublin House
St. Mary's

Intro

This blog is about our journey restoring and renovating our 'new' very old house in Dublin and how my ideas are reflected and incorporated into the house design. It is not just about design, but how the house will work for us a family with 2 very lively boys and trying to update the house to 21st Century living without taking away the traditional features, charm and history.


Hopefully a happy marriage of Scandi and Irish design and lifestyle!


I hope you will enjoy the journey with me, and feel free to comment at any time or send me an email if you have any question.

A few before pictures.....

Front door with original lock and key.

Hall Stairs - gorgeous window = lots of light

Stunning barrel ceiling, all 3 roses in situ.

Corridor/Wall - Into the Green Room

Family Room - big beautiful windows overlooking garden.

Doors into garden from Green Room.

Kitchen - will be getting a full makeover.

Planning Application

Planning application has gone in finally.... Should have an answer in 7-8 weeks. All we are looking to do is knock down the garage and extend parking area and replace with a modern wooden structure/shed. Also, adding a set of doors into the garden from the family room and the all important - Central Heating!
