Our Welsh Chapel Dream

[LaBelleSauvage123]

Watched the first episode of this tonight and enjoyed it, though it had the usual annoying Channel 4 repetition of key points after each advert break. Interesting that Keith is with someone who cries as much as he does! Though I suspect the producers were milking this a bit as it’s now so much his ‘trademark’. What a daunting project though. DH and I are doing a renovation at the moment and it was quite therapeutic to watch, as it’s a massive task compared to ours.
Anyone else watch?

Nice sink. I wonder when they will realise they forgot the taps……

I wanted to like this & they’re such a watchable pair. But it was slooooow.

I watched tonight’s episode & really enjoyed it!

almost like Return to the Châteaux but with nice people!

the kitchen looked fantastic & the sink was absolutely stunning & I never thought I would say that about a sink!

how did they fill the kettle though?

Did Luke it but generally hate when they show finished result in trailer so we already know what next week's room will look like when finished

I love this show and I'm so pleased it's back. Keith and Marj are adorable together and they make me laugh. The chapel is beautiful and I love what they're doing with it. I'd never heard of English Rose kitchens, but now I want one very badly!

The shipping container has quietly slipped out of being shown, I noticed!

I'm watching this on the back of Throwdown. I've never disliked a finished product as much as I have in each of the room reveals at the end of the episode.
I respect their unique styles and aesthetic but think it all looks a bit shit!

I didn't like those 2 sinks next to each other - looked like they were in public loos. Also the black bathroom would depress me. Each to their own! I do like Keith and Marg though. What a lovely relationship they have.

That bathroom is GRIM. The thought of a drinks trolley getting covered in fecal matter every time the toilet is flushed…

The loo (and shower) are in a separate bit though, not the 'parlour' section of the room.
I quite like the room. The terracotta floor is beautiful but presumably freezing, though.

They didn’t seem to have many clothes in that bedroom considering all the outfits she’s been wearing! 🤣

I love how they are together though - he’s so kind to her!

That oak and glass shop display cabinet is beautiful but I’m not loving their general approach to how they are decorating the Chapel. I think the wacky colours and features distract from the beauty and history of the building. However I’m a firm believer that people should decorate their homes however they want, so good for them!
Things like the icecream clone are too predictable.

I warm to them and feel they are genuine but the crying does my head in.

I still wish the show would give more actual information about the actual renovation.

It was mentioned on the last episode that Marj had just lost her Dad and had been emptying the family home. I think the teariness and Keith being so gentle are well explained by that. I hope they are thoroughly enjoying their quirky home. They are a matching pair of weepy, aging punk rockers!

I haven't seen the last episode yet, but on the previous one she was looking at what she referred to as her late parents’ cutlery and got tearful. I remember thinking then that it seemed like it was quite recent. Poor Marj. TBH I think Keith is just a gentle person; he's so sweet with all the people they're working with On the Chapel, and he's a sweetheart on the Throwdown as well.
