Preparing our renovation for winter

Now is the time that we should be getting on with the fitting out of the house, right?

Wrong. Well, sort of.

I crave that feeling of pulling into the driveway (that also doesn’t exist yet) and seeing a calm, collected arrival. I started planning the front garden design before the bathrooms!

We had two lights planned, one either side of the front door, from the beginning. And a classical, but streamlined approach seems to be the right way forward for the house. It has a little bit of Georgian grandeur, with a lot of countryside rusticity. 

There’s a good selection out there now, with Pooky offering a good price point to quality ratio, plus Jim Lawrence (and others) at the higher range. And everything in-between! Scroll down to see my top picks out there right now (some affiliate links). 

1. Single brass carriage light: £195

2. The modern, classic lantern: £160

3. A little more detail in multiple finishes: £185

4. A pretty light for a porch at a good price: £45

5. A grander, Georgian, wall lantern: £375

6. Already weathered and comes in a double too! £190
