That made a big difference! I love how completely UNintimidated you are with lighting changes and wall repair!
Thank you! I think electrical work is what I’ve learned the most about since I started renovating this house. It has opened up a world of possibilities!
Gonna drop you multiple comments on this one to help boots your engagement numbers cause after this video you deserve them!!! RESPECT on seeing this through!! Especially the ladder portion 😂🤯👍👍. Great job Kelsey, hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey out!!
Thanks so much!
Why am I just finding your channel? Love watching the kind of videos and so glad it is the weekend so I can binge watch all of yours! And I agree you should have way more subscribers, you are amazing at what you do and proves a woman can do it!!. 😊
Thank you and welcome! I’m glad you’re enjoying my videos! ❤️
I can’t believe you don’t have more subscribers!!!! You’re so amazing and wow me every time I see your vids! The ladder had me so anxious 😬 but you did it
Thank you! The ladder had me anxious too! 🤣🤣
You are impressive. Plain and simple.
Girl you always amaze me by your skills! Lol! I love the updates. I’m looking forward to the rest.
Thank you! I was a little nervous I wasn’t going to be able to move the light but it worked out!
Another great project! The height of the new fixture would have taken me days to decide on!🤣
Haha! My google history is full of things like “how high should pendants be above countertop”. Gives me a starting point and then I end up doing what I think looks good.
I’ve got to give you 50thousand 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 the fact that you knew how to locate the wiring, went in the attic, put another boxy in the ceiling and most of alllllllll sitting up in the air on a ladder (no ma’am I will not) it was hard for me to watch. 😅☺️Great job!!!
Thanks! It wasn’t quite as easy as the video made it look but we got there in the end!
No fear on the ladders 😮👏
Lots of fear on the ladders but more determined to get it done! 🤣🤣
I’ve only watched 2 of your videos so far and learned so much. I can’t wait to do projects like this when I get a house and I finally have a channel I can reference. You make everything look so easy
So glad you’re enjoying the videos!
Your skills are amazing!!! Love your videos and always look forward to your next video!!! Everything looks so fresh and clean! You are absolutely amazing! Hope you and your family have a wonderful weekend! 😊
Thank you!
@@KelseyRomitoDIY your welcome 😊
Ok seriously my hats off to you. I mean not only are you good at what you do but Holly grail you’re brave too 💪. I love how you’re just not afraid to do things.
Thank you! In my previous houses, I’ve been scared to try things because I didn’t want to mess things up. But with this house, I’ve just decided to go for it!
Awesome video Kelsey. I love your videos.
I just love watching your videos! Apart from your amazing skills, you’re personality is just a lovely bright light 💡 Looking forward to next week 🤩
What a kind comment! Thank you so much!
You are amazing, I wish I had the guts to replace light fixtures instead of waiting for my husband to make time to do it! Always a treat to see your videos, can’t wait for the next one!
Thank you! You never know what you can do until you try!
Looks great. I have to paint also that area of the stairs, but I'm scared of climbing on a ladder like you did. Lol! I was so nervous for you when i saw you up there. 😬😁
I was nervous the whole time too. Glad that part is over!
@@KelseyRomitoDIY I'm glad too. 😁
You need your own DIY show! Awesome job
Thank you!
Totally amazing!!!!
Thank you!
Just as awesome as ever!! There’s nothing you can’t handle!!! Always so constant and inspiring. Great job, I look forward to seeing the railing and staircase transformation. Don’t work too hard😜
I’m not sure there’s nothing I can’t handle but there’s not much that I’m not willing to try! Currently on vacation so I’m getting a nice break!
I can't wait to see the carpet go. Looking fresh and clean so far.
I’m excited about that part too!
The light and paint look so good. I can't tell where the holes were. You are so brave to work on light and paint the walls above the stairwa. I'm scared of height. I can't do it. Lol. Im looking forward to watch more of your vlogs.
Thank you!
Just discovered your channel and I know I’ll enjoy watching the rest of this make over. You might consider getting a paint spryer it would be even a bigger Improvement then the extension that you use this time.
I’m sure I’ll try a paint sprayer soon.
Looks great! I have never seen a light on the wall of the stairs before. Much better! I am looking forward to what you do! I think an open railing with wood spindles would look so nice, but whatever you choose will look great.
Thank you! Make sure you watch the upcoming videos 😉😉
Them stairs are lookin prettttttty. Can’t wait to see the final transformation. It’s also ok that this held me back from a walk or cleaning cause yard work for the past 2 days has sucked the life right outta me in this heat….I even gave my grumpy old men and their wonky receding hairline another hack job.
Haha! Everybody needs a break! Glad I could help.
Great light fixture and I am sure it gives you much better light! I love how your project it turning out! Can't wait till we get to see more!
Much better light! Thanks! Much more to come.
Bravo 👏!! You’re amazing as always Stretching over the staircase and lights and drywall looks perfect 🤩
Thank you! Ladders + drywall work is not my favorite type of project but it was so worth it!
@@KelseyRomitoDIY it sure was because you did great i’m still in the process of putting up recessed lights in my family room but I’m also thinking about hardwiring it as well
You never disappoint with your projects. Love the updates 🥰
Glad you’re enjoining them!
You are so skilled and talented! Great job!
Thank you so much!
Girl, you're my HERO! I admire your skill set!! I just started collecting tools of my own and starting on lil projects! BUT, some things just scare me... like I don't think I could do light fixtures or even change a door knob! My hubby works out if town months at a time and I'm just trying to do surprise him at learning... did I mention he's a carpenter?😂 Can't wait for the next video! Have a safe and happy holiday!
Thank you! Changing a doorknob is a perfect beginner project to get you familiar with your drill. Make sure you check out next week’s video because I think it will be perfect for you!
That’s so cool your husband is a carpenter. I’m sure your husband will be super impressed that you’re getting into diy. Meanwhile my husband doesn’t bat an eye when I’m moving light fixtures or remodeling the kitchen. (He’s so used to it.) Yet he kept raving about the mediocre lasagna I recently made for him. 🤣🤣
You are so talented! I look forward to the weekend because I’m excited to see what video you post next! What did you end up doing with the old electrical wire to the old fixture you removed?
Thank you! I disconnect the wire on both ends so there was no power running to it and I left it in the wall. It would have been impossible to get it out because it is stapled to the studs.
I love everything you have done. Just a suggestion; that half wall would look great open with spindles and the column wrapped in wood. You are the boss. I have done so many renovations with my husband and boy, you make it look easy.
Wow I just read your replies to Kelsey’s video I had just finished posting my suggestion in about the same thing but I suggested wrought iron spindles and a stair rail wow we are on the same page I really didn’t think I would come across another comment like my own great minds think a like lol
Great ideas! I’ve been thinking the same thing but for a different part of the stairs. Stay tuned for the next few videos!
@@KelseyRomitoDIY you bet!
@@carolmaynard1337 for sure, I did actually think wrought iron but didn't write it. Definitely like minds.
Yo Yo Yo friend, I you EVER have to do a ladder trick like that again you can screw a scap piece of 2x4 or pretty much anything just to keep ladder from sliding down the wall. A 24" pice works great as to catch 2 studs & have enough width for ladder. I've even seen guys attach a piece to ceiling & run a rope or wratchet stap through ladder rung. Either way you killed it bye seeing it through!! Hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey out!!
That’s a good idea. I’m seriously hoping I’m done with the tall ladders for a while!
What is your background? How did you learn all of the things you do? You are amazing!
Thanks! Here is a q&a where I talk about how I got into diy-
czcams.com/video/Bsa1Kp51r-c/video.html
That's the smile I get on my face when project goes right.. love it. What is the paint you used for space Kelsey? It is bright but warm.. can't wait for more. Thanks❤🙏
I was so happy that I got the wiring right! I actually mixed two paint colors together because white is so tricky. The paint formula is in the video description.
It looks so good! Excited to see what’s next!
Thank you!
Look forward to your videos each week!
Thanks for the support!
You are amazing!
Thank you! ❤️
I would like to know how I can run new wires for a new fan Can you explain how what cables you used? Thank you so much you make me feel that I can do it too!.
Running new wires for a fan is a project I’ve never done. I’m sure there are CZcams videos on how to do it!
Evidently you aren’t afraid of heights! 😬😬😉😉
Haha! I definitely am! But also stubborn. 🤣🤣
Very impressive doing electrical on a ladder! As much as I love doing DIY, that's where I chicken out. lol I love the light fixture. What white did you use?
Thank you! I combined 1 part simply white with 2 parts chantilly lace because I’m ridiculous and couldn’t find the perfect white so I made it 🤣🤣
Hello Miss Kelsey you are one of my favorite CZcamsrs I look forward to your videos every week you are amazing I have a suggestion for your latest project it might be a nice idea to punch out that pony wall and add some black wrought iron spindles and stair rail to match your New chandelier that would look fantastic and it would brighten up that hallway just a suggestion you have given me courage to try some things in my own home you are so skilled with those tools and fearless at that so I just thought I’d give you my thoughts on your latest project keep up the good work I’ll see you next week
Thanks so much for your ideas! Make sure you watch the next few videos. I’ll be doing something very similar!
Hi-my wife loves your channel and on one of your shows you had a gray chair in your living room. She would love to get one like it and I was wondering where you bought it? Thank you.
Hi! The chair came from Tuesday morning. There are lots of chairs like it on Wayfair. I’m sure you could find something similar.
When I had to paint the stairwell at a previous house I owned, I duck taped a paintbrush to the end of a pole so I wouldn’t have to get up on a ladder at all. I don’t think I could stomach hanging over the stairs on a ladder the way you did. 😬
That works too! I actually felt much more secure on the ladder inside than I did outside.
Ok, with your fear of heights, how freaked out were when you were on that ladder over the stairs? I was holding my breath while you were working! Ha!
Oh my gosh. Immediately sweating 🤣🤣
👍
You rock!!
Thanks so much!
“I always think someone is definitely here to murder me!” 😂 That is so me!
I always think that when I’m showering and no one else is home! Freaks me out! Especially if the dog starts barking!
Yes! I totally get freaked out when my husband is at work and my kids are at school. I listen to far too many true crime podcasts 🤦🏼♀️
I just subscribed!👍What was that you sprayed on the wall before you patched where the hand railing was?
Spray knock down texture. Matches the texture around the patch
👏👏👏👏👏👏
💕💕
✌👏
How do you do this? Self taught is YT? Or did you have a carpenter father? New to the channel and loving the content. You make it look easy. Also could you go over what brushes to use with what type of paint? Do some
Work better than others ? I always pick the wrong ones it seems and I make a mess 🤔😔
Welcome! I have a q&a video on how I got into diy-
czcams.com/video/Bsa1Kp51r-c/video.html
I usually get my brushes at lowes. I’m not loyal to any one brand. I like angled brushes.
@@KelseyRomitoDIY thanks so much!!
😩😩😩😩 who else didbtvwont the video to end?
Hi there I’m new to your channel. Girl I’m so impressed!! Can you come to my house… haha. New light looks great!! What paint and color are you using? Thank you in advance!! 😊💕
Welcome! I mixed 2 parts bm chantilly lace and 1 part bm simply white- not the smartest choice I’ve ever made but it came out to be the exact white I was looking for. I had them color matched at sherwin williams to save money.
👍🏼❤️🇨🇦😉
