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.

And we're off!

Work has finally started! We are starting with the demolition stage or 'enabling work' as the architect is calling it.

Basically everything that has to go is being broken down, taken out. Floors taken up, numbered and photographed as well as the granite front and back steps. All to be put back again later on.

All very exciting although daunting as well, lets just hope they don't find any old bones under the floorboards as I could really do without any more delays.


Here's a few pics from day 1 - Today, will keep updating as we progress.

Once there was a garage......

Boarding going up.
