<\/p>\nAN ADVENTUROUS couple have shared a walk-and-talk tour of their narrowboat – and despite it being rusty, they cannot wait to call the 64ft canal boat their new home.<\/p>\n
Travel-obsessed couple Julian and Heidi took to TikTok to proudly share a little glimpse of the boat that's now replaced their full-time van life.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
According to Heidi, the narrowboat is in a desperate need of renovation, the duration of which the duo is planning to stay on board full-time, she explained in the video.<\/p>\n
''The outside needs a lot of work but for now she's liveable,'' Heidi said, adding the couple are looking into adding solar panels on top.<\/p>\n
''We really like that we've got a nice, big area at the back because we can host here, we can have a dining table – it's just really, really nice.''<\/p>\n
The indoors area, Heidi revealed, had come in its original condition after the couple bought it and some of the surfaces would later be spruced up with easy DIY projects.<\/p>\n

''We're just gonna sand it back, paint it and add our own little touch to it because we think it looks really nice.''<\/p>\n
As well as replacing the existing curtains with a new set, Heidi and her partner Julian said they'd be ripping out the old flooring – this will be ditched for a more toned-down Dark Chocolate colour flooring.<\/p>\n
The top area, too, will be looking brand new, as Heidi revealed that none of the big ''ugly'' lights were working anyway.<\/p>\n
''As for the sidewalls, nothing really needs to come down – this is all really good quality wood.<\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n ''Just needs sanding back and then it's good as gold.''<\/p>\n Another item the adventurous duo were looking into getting rid of was the old sofa, which was currently covered with a cream blanket in an attempt to make it look nicer.<\/p>\n FABULOUS FIVER: SPEND \u00a35 AND GET A \u00a325 WELCOME BONUS<\/strong><\/p>\n In terms of any makeovers in the kitchen, Heidi said they'd opted for a dark khaki colour, as well as a new oven and a gas hob.<\/p>\n She went on: ''We have running water, which is really handy, and at the moment we are just living off of this portable gas hob, which we can cook on.<\/p>\n ''Super spacious but lots of work needs to be done.''<\/p>\n Further down in their new 64ft home, the lovely duo had decided to paint the walls white – although this is yet to be complete.<\/p>\n This space, she revealed, would function both as a dining room, as well as a mini office with a stunning table they'd snapped up from Facebook Marketplace.<\/p>\n Carrying on, Heidi then showed her fans the new chic bathroom that had been painted in lush forest green, a dusty pink and tiled with a leafy print.<\/p>\n ''It pops with the tiles, we love it. Julian's done such a good job,'' she praised her partner.<\/p>\n The most progress, however, had been made in their bedroom, which boasts a comfy double bed, the new flooring, as well as a pink wall.<\/p>\n ''The white ceiling still needs some work but we're happy with it for now.''<\/p>\n Heidi went on in the caption: ''We know we still have a long way to go but are trying to enjoy the journey rather than the end destination.''<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/newspress-collage-23991994-1694965700388.jpg\")
