I love that you are breathing life back into this old house! This is my dream. Makes me happy to see an old house so happy.
To me white is a timeless classic that you won't tire of. Plus it just fits with an old farmhouse- my dream house đ
thanks!
Nolan's father is in my prayers. It's tough caring for ill parents, but to do so from so far away is even harder. Some day there will be no more sickness, no more tears, no more death. Praise God!
Hope things go well with Nolan's dad, I lit a candle and said a prayer for Nolan's dad, Nolan, his family and you and Xander.......my the Lord guide and protect you all and be the Candle of light for all of you!
thank you so much for your prayers. It means so much!
It is going to be gorgeous! It really melted my heart when Zander said his daddy âwas a hard worker guyâ. So sweet and preciousâŁïž
The house is coming along so well. It will be a show place for sure. Nothing like a bright white farm house. Glad you were able to save/replicate the moldings for the windows, it really adds to the authenticity. I'm sorry Nolan had to leave, it sure broke Xanders heart, but prayers go out for Nolan's Dad and all the family. Thank you for the up date on the house and have a Blessed day.
Love that you decided on the lighter color. I too prefer a light or white farmhouse. I, like you met my husband in Oregon when I went out to teach. Ended up living in OR for 12 years and then we moved back to my home State for a job opportunity. Love how similar our stories are.
How interesting!
I love the pretty fall dress and sweater you are wearing! I'm really enjoying the farmhouse renovation videos and can't wait for the big reveal in the future!
Bless his heart! Nolan is such a hard worker & a great guy. Your home is amazing!
I would choose white. I love love the character in your house!! I love the old brick on the pillars by the porches!! You and Nolan are doing such an amazing job restoring your house and thank you for sharing the process! Also continued prayers for your father in law đ â€
Aw didn't want the video to end! Love what you've done so far! I would also pick the lighter color timeless for sure! đ„°
I found you from the strawberry gutter video and looking for an update found this! We just saved my great grandparents old farmhouse. (Late 1800-early 1900) We are renovating at the moment and I understand the overwhelming feelings. Sadly we are having to jack the house up and replace foundation seal beams. So it is coming a long very slowly. All the foundation has to be done before we can touch the inside! I am so happy to see your progress! It gives me hope that mine will be finished one day! At the moment the kitchen is gutted and we have transformed the laundry room into a make shift kitchen. Dishes in the tub but one day I will have a sink!! ;) Our house needed to be rewired, new insulation and our siding was in very bad condition. So we had to strip off all the old wood siding and we rewired, insulated and then put up new siding.
I absolutely love old farmhouses and glad to have found your channel. đ
Happy homesteading! ~Shaina~
P.s. I wanted white but hubby didn't want white :( so we went with a tan that looks yellowish.... :( I love white trim and wood accents! Your house is going to be so lovely!!
Thank you! Sounds like you have a huge undertaking on your hands! Good luck!
I like the color on the left. Everyone is doing the gray look now and is overdone.
Your home is so lovely! What a treasure.
And LOVE your cape dress with the mustard yellow cardigan you were wearing at beginning of video. Looks very nice together. Prayers for Nolan and his family.
Agreed, @ebgbjo2025, Gray is so overdone.
Grey is for me a down colour. Like grey rainy days drab deeaery sorrow provoking.
@@mamamode1312 Yes, same for me. Very depressing color.
Oh my Xander makes the videos so much sweeter. Cute boy! The house is looking so beautiful
What a lovely home,so glad you refurbished it rather then tearing it down,and doing a new build.They just donât make houses like this anymore.Im really enjoying watching her come back to her former beauty.Xander is absolutely adorable
You've got such a beautiful house there. Loving watching your journey of giving it a fresh look.
I love the lighter color too! It just looks classy. I love all the improvements you've made so far, that is a tremendous amount of work! Xander is growing so quickly and is such a joy to see in your videos. Love and prayers to you all.
When ever he says "Hey Mom", I get so tickled. He reminds me of my Billy when he was little. (He is now 25). I so enjoy watching him grow up. Thank you for sharing him with us.
I am so enjoying this series from you! I appreciate your honesty and openness with this project.
I love watching you videos and am always disappointed when video is over and I have to wait until next week for more. Great job on your house!
that's a compliment. thank you, I appreciate it.
The white is beautiful, crispy clean looking.
I love the light color your house is going to be!! Wow, a lot of work being done and you and hubby are still smiling đ I canât get enough of Zanderâs giggles... so cute!
Thanks! We are so glad it's getting done!
I canât get enough of Xander either ! Adorable cutie
I like the white farmhouse look also. It is certainly looking a lot cleaner. I look forward to seeing it all done.
We are going through some of that with having to replace many of the electrical outlets. A friend of ours came to teach Noel how to do it properly. So, that was a help. My parents are getting estimates on the roof. In the meantime, we have once again gotten blanketed with snow. Oh well, that's Minnesota for you.
God bless you, dear friend.
Cant wait to see the finished project! I love your old farmhouseđ btw you are so good at capturing all the right footage!
Thank you!!!
Jeannine, I so enjoy seeing homes being restored back to their former glory (loved Fixer Upper w Chip & Joanna Gaines).Watching ur home being made over (huge reparations)has been especially rewarding. Even though you hired a crew, ur finger prints are all over itđ Xander watching ur work ethic on the sidelines is making a huge impact on his future determination to work hard. Congratsđ on seven years of blissful marriage along w a few bumps.đ€”đ°đĄđ€°đ€±
Every good marriage is tested. Keep plugging away!
đđżđ
Thanks so much! (: I'm so anxious to return to a normal life. Lol
The house is so lovely...thx for the recent update !
Lovely house! Thank you for sharing the excitement. " To be with Him will crown it all".
Xander is such a fun little guy. Love how excited he gets at dads work "Dad's a good worker guy!" He's such a happy happy joy joy boy waking up from his nap. đđ§
Your home is coming along beautifully. Itâs nice to see the progress. And to see Xanderâs happy face, heâs a little sweetie.
I hope all goes well for Nolanâs dad. Itâs great that he can go and give his dad some support.
đ
The home that love restored!
that would make a good title (:
Love this comment â„ïžâš
Then by all means us it . For it is a love story for sure. God bless .
No! You can't stop now....it looks amazing already! đ How is Nolan's dad doing?
he's doing good! thank you!
White, white, white. I love white. I am so excited for you and canât wait until you share the finished paint job. Your brother in law did a phenomenal job on that walkway and steps and design is stunning.
The sidewalk and patio with the stone facing looks amazing! đ§Ąđ§Ąđ§Ą
So happy for you that the house is coming together as you and Nolan have planned. May God bless you and guide you in your decisions. I love the white for the outside of the house. I grew up in a white farm house. Loved it.
I am SO happy for you that you are able to get your house fixed up. Y'all sure deserve it!!! Looking great!
It is amazing what primer does to a house. You could tell that with a little love, a ton of work and lots of $$$, this house was going to be a home. Iâm excited for you. Prayers to Nolanâs dad and for you holding down the fort.
I agree with you, I like the white for your house ;)
While living at Fall Creek Falls State Park, for a season, we happened to come across an Amish community nearby and there was a house (big like yours) and it was grey (a little darker than the darker color you showed to the right of the window), trimmed in white but with a thinner strip of black around the windows. it was such a stately/regal combination of colors. If I didn't misunderstand you when asking our thoughts about paint choice I would choose the darker color; sure though that your choice will be spot on! When Zander ran out to greet you when he woke up from his nap tears fell from my eyes immediately...remembering how precious little ones can be at that age definitely grabs the heart strings. Just remember: don't be anxious for anything. be filled with Thanksgiving as you make your prayers and requests to Him! HE CARES FOR YOU and your family. Gale Flowers
Thank you, Gale. That house sounds beautiful!
Your house and land is literally a dream, such a gorgeous spot to call yours!!
Just wanted to let you know that you look great in that mustard coloured cardigan!
Iâm amazed that they hand brushed that whole big house ! It will be beautiful ! Canât wait to watch the process! I was sad to see the old buildings being razed đą But my husband would have been in his element too đ€Ł We razed every last old building on our place also , sadly they werenât worth saving .
yeah, it's sad to see them go over, but they weren't worth much. there was even a big old chicken coop I'd forgotten about.
White is what I would pick or the lighter color. Love how everything is coming along. So happy for you. Xander is soooo cute and funny. Nice worker man đ
he cracked me up. No idea where that came from!
WOW its coming along beautifully, yes white is definitely the color. Praying that all goes well with Nolan's family.
Your home looks so amazing! Cannot wait to see whatâs next!!
What a beautiful beginning! How wonderful to have been married 8 years! It's a wonderful life to be married to your number one!
The house is coming together so beautifully đ Love hearing those giggles.
Thanks for sharing. It's all coming along nicely.
I am so thrilled for you. It is a beautiful old home and I am so glad you are bringing it back for another hundred years or so..........just beautiful and a piece of history saved. I wonder what the walls would tell us if they could share the story of it's beginning. I am so loving watching your travels through all of this.
Blessings and prayers on Nolans family and I will keep them in my prayers.
It's a difficult time I know as I have traveled that road and it is a heart tug of emotions and love ongoing.
God bless you all.
Continue with your lovely home it is going to be a showplace and it will be a new spirited home. :-)
Thank you! Yes, I've often wished that walls could talk!
Xander is so animated! Such a sweetie!
I'm glad you went with the lighter color. It's classy and timeless. When I was young, we lived in an old farmhouse and I loved it.
I think each style of house has a look that is just timeless and perfect. I LOVE houses- (I have 3 house apps on my phone with houses saved all around the country because I like some particular aspect to it.) - and I like things that are timeless...because trendy dates things. Obviously, on the inside you might be "trendy" but I like the outside facade to be classic.
I'm excited for you to have the "restoration " of the house. It will be a load off your mind!
I have to say, you have the same marriage certificate picture that I do! I had to rewatch it to make sure.đ My friend did it for hers, which I loved, and have told many people to replicate over the years. It's a cute picture for sure.
I'm not sure if I want to watch the next video, (đ) as it seems inevitable that there will be tears involved. Ah...I must be strong!
Sorry so late in replying, but thanks for encouraging words. Sounds like you love houses. I agree with you on the timeless aspect for the exterior.
The house looks fantastic! I agree the white on white will look best for and old farm house. I grew up in on and it is still white!
Beautiful! Love that you are true to the old farm house.
Oh what a lovely video, thanks for sharing all the background, that was so interesting!
I think your idea is beautiful! I love the renovation of old homes! Itâs looking fantastic and I know you are excited!
Your house is looking beautiful, thatâs a huge job, love Zander too, heâs such a joy to have around
Your home is beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing your journey.
Your home is lovely and yes, the lighter color is better. It looks stunning with just the primer! I pray all goes well for Nolan out west and that God's will is done. Thanks for the video!
thanks for your prayers!
I love watching the home renovation videos!! Your home is looking beautiful!! Canât wait to see the finished product. â„ïž
Love your videos!!! Love your home. Canât wait to see more. Prayers and Blessings.
Thank you so much for sharing. The house is looking amazing. So happy for yall.
So excited to see these videos of your home! I totally understand about the overwhelming feeling of renovating, we are in the midst of it and trying to do it all ourselves on the weekends. I canât wait till we can be done and have a free weekend without guilt again!
Yesssss!!!!!!!!!
Ok I finally had time to watch...
Eeeek! Iâm so happy for you! I know it sucks to go into debt aaaand ALL.THE. Headaches along the way, BUT, it is making such a marked change and seeing your visions come to life has to be so good for your heart. I know for us stay at home folks, the layout of our homes can make quite an impact on our moods. That being said, our joy is in the Lord and beauty is in the eye of the beholder and a magazine perfect home isnât what Iâm talking about, but Iâm sure you understand.
âSuch a nice worker manâ .... out of the mouths of babes LOL
Youâre living out some of our farmhouse dreams â€ïž I know theyâve been long in the making.
Oh Iâm just so thankful for Godâs provision in your life and ask his mercies and blessings as you continue to seek out his Lamplit path for your family đ
Thank you kindly. (: we are so blessed. Thanks for your encouragement! Love having you here
Oh it's starting to all come together. I can't wait to see it when it's finished. I think that I would go with the white, classic and timeless. Prayers for safe travels for Nolan and healing for his daddy! God bless you all! â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïžđđđ
Itâs looking good! Love to watch something old become beautiful again! đđ»
I am so amazed by what you guys have done with this farmhouse! Iâve been following the renovations and I canât wait to see it, outside and inside!
Both colors are beautiful! Such a transformation. Also the walk way your brother in law did is awesome. Canât wait for the next video! đ
Oh Jeannine your house is looking amazing already with just the primer. I so love the white, like a beacon of light to guide your family and friends when they visit. Xander is so photogenic and huggable. Thanks for this great video.
Thank you! (:
I love a white farmhouse with a hunter green metal roof!
What a beautiful old farmhouse. Love the classic white. Bet this feels great seeing so much progress.
Thank you for preserving history.
LOVE how well the house is turning out! I too love white/bright color on the outside. I'd go with lightest color possible. Beautiful!! Well done đ„°
Oh Honey, How is your mother and I believe Nolan's Father?.....I pray they will be ok....I pray God's will in their lives. .....
I love a white house with black trim, with a red front door. My favorite. I can hardly contain my excitement. It will be amazing when finished....then you can decorate it for Christmas. Wreaths on the windows, a sleigh on the porch, greenery above the doors, and on the window sills, candle lights in the windows......O M Word....It will be beautiful !! I can't wait !!!!!
It is looking great, can't wait to see the finished look!
Wow!! With just the primer it looks amazing!!
Your house is looking great! Canât wait to see all the upcoming videos! â€ïž
The house is looking amazing! So much hard work but so satisfying in the endâ€ïž.
I love your story and your home. I grew up Mennonite and your story takes me back to my childhood! So many sweet memories!
This house is going to be a showpiece when it is finished. My prayers go out to all of you.
I'm with you on the paint color. That dove-gray just slightly different is really pretty
Jeannine, this looks so amazing! What a great vlog!
Wow, I didnât realize how big the house was until you showed to drone shots. Personally for a farmhouse of this era Iâd go with white or the lighter color. Itâll be stunning regardless and every time you drive up to it youâll smile with satisfaction. Everything is coming together beautifully.
Thank you!!
Hi there! I agree with you about the color! The lighter color on your beautiful farmhouse would be timelessđ. I canât wait to see more!!
The house is looking amazing!!
Love your vlogs!! You encourage me so much in my own life!
Omg i love it đ can't wait to see more
I loved when Xander said he's a good worker guy đđ
Thank, you for saving, the house/farm.
Excellent job of editing and putting it together....it's going to be an awesome property and means so much when you've done so much yourselves. I'm so excited for you!
Thanks so much!
It looks fantastic! Very excited and happy for you!
Thank you!!
It's looking very good, the trim around the windows will great in black, my son has a painting business here in Washington, White and black is a very popular color.
Wow, the outside of house is looking great. â€ïž
What a beautiful house. You are doing such an amazing job restoring it. Prayers for Nolan, his Dad and his family.
It's looking amazing!!
I love the all white farm house too! Itâs looking great! Play prayers for you and your family as you go through this ârough spotâ. Praying for Nolanâs dad to heal quickly! God bless you all
Your house is absolutely beautiful. You are so blessed to live in such an awesome property and all your hard work will be worth it. I love your channel because you are so down to earth and real. Xander makes me laugh when he laughs. He is such a sweet little boy. I am wondering if your husband is from the Halsey, Brownsville area. Pray all is well wherever he is. Iâm sure you missed him terribly. God bless you and your sweet family.
Thank you. No, he's from Ontario Oregon area
It is looking so amazing! Prayers for Nolan, his dad & the whole family.
Love your house, it is absolutely beautiful! And yes, you are spending a lot of time and money on it but it will be so worth it in the end. Especially if this is potentially your forever home!
Oh my word Janine, the farmhouse is looking amazing! That stacked stone at the one entrance is magnificent. I'm so excited for you, and so looking forward to the rest of this journey with you! Peace and prayers.
Your whole property is beautiful! And the exterior improvements to the house are fabulous! I like many others really like the white paint for the house. That way you can paint around the windows or porches for more variety but it won't clash with the siding color, it will match. Your brother in law did an AWESOME job on the sidewalks and porches!!! And creating new replicas of the window casings(great job, Painter and Nolan!) Is fantastic. I look forward to seeing the rest of the transformations. Praying God's blessings on all your renovation endeavors đ
Thanks so much!
I love the white paint, going to look amazing!
Thanks for an update on your home. I have been waiting to see how it's coming along. I probably would have chosen the darker gray but the other day we drive by a full white house with wood contrast it's soo beautiful đ. What ever you choose I'm sure it will be gorgeous đ. Oh I'm so excited for you. Xander's joy when he wakes up đ„° just like my little man.
yes, that's the look I'm going for. (: thank you!
WOW! What a HUGE job!!! CONGRATS on getting all that done. It's looking nice. I'm not good with colors, I think I like the lighter better.
