If you'd like to slow down, improve your focus or simply create a few mindful moments in your day, you can try it completely free for 60 days using my link above. Have you ever spent hours on a DIY project only to realise you've made a mistake? Well... that's exactly what happened in today's greenhouse makeover! I've been dreaming about a traditional herringbone brick floor ever since I built this greenhouse, and after five years, I finally decided it was time to make it happen. But things didn't quite go to plan. I laid the floor incorrectly, had to admit defeat, and thankfully got a helping hand to relay it properly. Along the way I'm sharing everything I learned, the mistakes I'd avoid next time, and hopefully giving you the confidence to tackle your own DIY projects, even when things don't go perfectly. I also answer some of your most frequently asked greenhouse questions, including: 🌿 My greenhouse size and where it's from 🧱 The concrete base and how I sealed it 💧 How it copes with Irish weather and drainage 🕷 Why I've stopped storing wooden furniture inside 🎨 How my painted brick floor held up after 5 years Whether you're planning a greenhouse makeover, dreaming of laying a brick floor, or simply enjoy realistic home and garden projects, I hope you'll enjoy coming along for the journey.

“All in all it’s just another brick in the floor “ Pink Floyd- - Well done Catherine ! So happy for you that you stuck to your herringbone dream floor. It looks gorgeous ! I like the fact that you share all the ups and downs of projects . You never lose when something goes wrong; you learn. Knowledge is power, thank you for sharing .
Catherine the floor looks beautiful !kudos to you and I'm so glad your brother had your back !🐦💕🙋
Proud of you for trying. Proud of you for admitting defeat. Proud of you for sharing your mistakes. Proud of you for getting help when you needed it. It looked rustically beautiful, when you did it. It looks immaculate now. Absolute stunner! Thank you Thomas! You saved the dream!
FYI : bleach doesn’t get rid of mold for good. Use 3% percent hydrogen peroxide. That kills mold and cleans MUCH abetted with no smell 😊
