    You know why I like this house?… because it’s different. I like what you did/chose for the dining room. The house has a warm feel with all the wood but is also clean and crisp. I just really like it. Nice work!

    I homeschooled my son. It's so nice to see the magnetic letters outside on the clothesline and allowing Maverick to learn with Dad!

    The stain was a great call! While it’s still white, you can see the grain of the wood. Crisp, yet not such a formal difference! Beautiful! TYTY for sharing! ❤️❤️🙏❤️❤️

    I love love that room.. again you guys nailed it!! So much of American culture has lost the family dining around the table together. Such an important part of parent/child relationships. You guys nailed that also. :)) such a pleasure watching your videos!

    Years ago I realized it was futile to doubt your decisions. I learned to 'trust the process'. As is the norm for Ashley and Doug this room was stunning - true perfection. Then Master Maverick was handed the nail gun and I was smiling with tears in my eyes. Such a special moment. I look forward to seeing Maverick's hands-on forays as he becomes Doug's MiniMe. Having 3 double windows in any room is such a luxury. Ashley and Doug created a design worthy of being their dining room while honoring the history of their wonderful Florida home.

    I agree that the walls and flooring colors are in perfect contrast. I especially love the floor; how it turned out, and the white is the best choice for trim!! I'd spend a lot of time in this room if I lived there!! Great job, guys!

    Good morning, Doug and Ashley, I love your little assistance. He has a keen eye for details. Immediately, he told you the trim didn't fit. Wow!!! If this is what he would like to do when he gets older, he will be an asset to your channel and future endeavors. He will bring new ideas that will Wow the viewers. Whatever he decides to do when he gets older, his attention to detail will make a lot of difference.

    I enjoy watching the journey of renovating your home so much. I can’t imagine what I’ll do when it’s finished. Hopefully, the new property will take a while to complete so I can enjoy watching you guys take something from uninhabitable to immaculate. This is my favorite CZcams channel. I’m very detailed oriented and you always go above and beyond on quality of work. Covering the walls with paper even though it’s not needed. Cleaning areas that will never be seen and finishing them to perfection. It makes the house feel so clean and inviting. I love everything you’ve done. Watching the roof replacement was amazing. No contractor would’ve done the job as well as you guys did. You share your experience with the quality of products, tools and materials, that helps me when looking for replacement windows or a new tool. You are so patient and loving with your children. You take time to teach them how to do things themselves. I don’t understand why you don’t have a million views. I’ve watched all of your videos. No matter what challenge you’ve taken on, you’ve always given 100%. If there are viewers that haven’t watched your earlier videos, I highly recommend them. I’ve watched some of them more than once.

    The freebee magnetic letters have found a home! The Laundry Lounge never disappoints in multitasking. The dining room walls look so warm in the sunshine. I really love the stain color. The white trim is a lovely contrast. Once the table is in place, it is going to be one of the best rooms in the house. Lots of windows for light and cross breezes and a lovely view of the lush greenery. Things are humming at the house. One thing about houses that are renovated top to bottom is that, often, every room looks the same. Same wall color, same flooring, etc., which makes it feel more like a showplace than a home. While you have carried a theme through the house (e.g., egg and dart, brass fixtures, etc...), every room has its unique quirks. It makes the entire house look lived in (not in a bad way) and makes it feel very homey. And thank you for an awesome video, as always.

  • @quietwoodworking
    @quietwoodworking Před 9 měsíci +6

    Your dining room is looking fantastic! I think the white stain on the trim was the best choice because the wood grain is still visible and compliments the wood grain on the walls and floor.

  • @Sonshine1038
    @Sonshine1038 Před 9 měsíci +4

    I would have never thought white but I agree it looks fantastic. I am so happy seeing Maverick learning the trade. I used to make things to sell and my children helped me learning how to do most anything. Now they are entrepreneurs and not afraid to accomplish anything.

  • @MNTNSTARZ80.
    @MNTNSTARZ80. Před 9 měsíci +3

    For the age and style house it makes sense that they put the kitchen in the back.
    In the South they used to put kitchens towards the back of a house in order to keep any heat generated from cooking out of the rest of the home. If they had a window AC unit it's more efficient not having to compete with kitchen heat.

    This comment is specifically for Ashley. I have watched the channel since you guys lived up north, and I wanted to let you know that you seem so much more confident than you were then. I see you smile sometimes, and you never seemed to smile before. I don't know if you're just on camera more or whether you're helping more, but I like seeing more of you in the videos. You seem like such a shy young thing, but the beauty of your heart comes through. Keep up the good work and have a great day guys.

    The dining room is looking so good!!! So glad you feel inspired to tackle the window trim! Love the molding. It may be a little work, but your attic space off the hall would hold those mattresses, I bet. I think you put plywood sheets down on it, right? Not sure about the boxes and what's in them. Maverick did so well with the power nailer! So happy for you that you are so close to another room finished!!! Can't wait to see the hutch and to see your plan for the dining room furniture! All the best and God bless!

    • @diyfferent

    Because I couldn't comment on the video of the dining room finish. I just want to say it's freaking amazing and that light fixture is like a jewelry piece. It just finishes off the room. At first. I was afraid it was going to be copper or cloth shade but wow was I ever so happy it's gorgeous, perfect size. It brought me so much happiness to see you guys sitting down for your first meal in the dining room. All finished.❤❤❤

I love how he was so serious trying to figure out filling in the nail holes. His brain was thinking one thing but his muscles were doing another but he never gave up.. Great job, not making him wrong, bc he wasn't.. them muscles have to develop and oh they will with parents like you! :))

    I love it.
    I especially like the stain over paint with the trim. It's much more in keeping with the rest of the wood, and helps it flow from one colour to another.
    A dining room is a much underutilised space in most homes, yet I have some of my fondest memories sitting at the dining table just talking, joking, and enjoying the company of family and friends. May you get to build as many happy memories. ❤

    One of the advantages of living in Florida is that you can work outside in November in short sleeve shirts. The living room looks great. Staining the wood softens the color and gives it more complexity. Your choice for the vertical trim is excellent.

I am sure there were time where you thought it would never come together, but it is. Hopefully once you get the house completed you will be able to either build or purchase a storage building/workshop for all your tools and machinery to make things.
