      @@kelleyhawk6595while that might be true for some I don’t get that vibe from this channel….her and her family literally just bought their dream home and moved during Christmas so for 1. She’s excited 2. Her Channel is about diys so she’s literally showing diys she’s wanting to do in her home and showing us ways we can elevate our space..her Chanel has always been about giving expensive looking diys on a budget and that’s literally what this is about. 3. I’m sure with Christmas just passing and just moving into their new home she’s super busy and wanting to get their forever home how they want it so I’m sure anyone in her shoes would prioritize that over making dollar tree DIYs right now….but I’m sure those will be coming again but I’m sure right now it’s going to be about DIYs and stuff she’s doing on her house and showing us how to do it on a budget which I love and 4. People’s preferences change (not saying this about her specifically) but in general people’s preferences and styles change with time …I use to be all about farmhouse and signs with words everywhere but now I’m not a huge fan of a ton of signs with words and like more of a modern farmhouse with using a mix of antiques and the simplicity of modern/Scandinavian I guess just a less busy & overly farmhouse and a mix of a few styles …and a lot of people tend to like different styles and be into different things ..I feel like a lot of content creators naturally change over time with what they like and the style of DIYs they do and that’s totally ok….sorry i wrote a novel in the comments and hope I didn’t come off preachy haha Idk I just felt the need to share with u something maybe u didn’t think about and throw out a different perspective

      Yes Natalee can do this, stone looking concrete and colorant in the cement or paint after installing. It doesn't go with our home or style, but her house is SCREAMING for this in the tall ceiling room where a fireplace is needed for appearance sake anyway in Florida! We are in North Carolina, we have 4 fireplaces, family room, master bedroom, bonus room/play room/ library/ my female space, lol and 1 on the sunroom. Love a fireplace, all them are different and unique, 1 we half did it, the flagstone was already there, then the other 2 we part of theater ourselves, but did all of the bobuscroom ourselves and hired out for the stone work, but built the fireplace in the sunroom. This one was the most expensive one! The stone and it was kind of big too plus we added a built in on o e fide, the other side was a window.

    We have 6 grandkids. For 6 years I took care of one granddaughter and 18 months later, we were blessed with another grandson! I took care of the babies, cleaned house and did All Of the laundry. I LOVED IT! It's cathartic, brings order to chaos, I loved all of the little, tiny clothes. I love it! In fact, 6 years later, I'm helping them with housework and laundry once again. It would be so nice to have a beautiful space to do laundry in! I wish our home had one, too! My husband tried putting in cupboards with counter tops. To be honest, the flooring looks terrible. The drywall job looks terrible. The paint on the drywall looks terrible. I can't tell him this as I don't want to hurt his feelings! I think it should all be torn out and start all over! He just retired, so we have the time to change it now. Keeping my fingers crossed that I can talk him into trying it again! And praying that the outcome is much better than attempt #1!🫢🤭🤫🤔🤐🤨😬

    Our house had a touchless faucet when we moved in. At first it was fun and novel, but then the sensor stopped working (which Ferguson told me is common) and it wouldn't turn on at all -- you had to tap it 20 times for it to finally turn on or off. I replaced it with a regular faucet about 2 years ago don't miss it at all. Your videos are SO FUN and nicely done! Thank you for your Can-Do Spiriit!!

Knowing she has a place with you forever is priceless.

      @shelleysavoy7353 Yes, that is totally accurate. Your room, as a growing child, is how you develop ....in so many ways! Even splitting one room up between three children with bunk beds, would be better than a guest room.; atleast, they all would be equal. In college, my roommates creatively put their mattresses and dressers in ways in which everyone had a private place. Looking back, their room rocked!

    I am fairly new to your channel but love your videos, talent, creativity, taste, and style! We are a lot alike in all of those ways..it makes me wish I could just sit down with you and we could share tons of ideas. Our family of 5 lost our forever home on 1/7/21 to a house fire…thank the good Lord we all, including pets, made it out safe. (Our cat did have to be rescued and after a firefighter busted out my son’s upstairs bedroom window he jumped out…paws, tail, ears burned, whiskers singed) did have to spend the night at the animal hospital but he recovered very well!). We spent the next year and a half divided into two campers on our property while we rebuilt our home. I’ll just say it’s been tremendously overwhelming! We moved in before a few things were complete because being stuffed into those campers was a nightmare! Our home is everything we could want and then some..but would be better if we could tie up several loose ends….which brings me to think about the seating you’re loving for your breakfast nook. Don’t get me wrong..I completely understand when you’re in love with and dead set on an idea…and if you do it, you may love it! I know that’s the seating we had in one of the campers..and yes, space was extremely limited…but never the less…extremely not functional at all! I am with you on a round table…I think they’re more personal..especially for a breakfast nook. I’ve always had a round table..we have an oval now because with kids getting older and meeting significant others…needing more space to sit. Your fireplace in the living room/great room is tall like mine. I chose a very timeless large stone that has hues of very light grays, pale tans, and off whites…and a brick veneer accent. Maybe in the recessed areas of yours, brick veneers would look beautiful and timeless! When I saw your back porch area and your fireplace idea, I immediately thought of a built-in (like you’re talking about, floor to ceiling)…but instead of corner, what about the kind that has not only the glass front, but the glass side..it would give almost a wrap around/see through kind of appearance. Also, I have a Kohler touchless faucet in my kitchen and in my laundry room which is right off my bedroom/closet and the garage. I will say that’s one of the best investments in this house with messy hands for whatever reason…very nice and convenient! I’m like you and am in love with animal print. I have touches of it all through most of my house. I haven’t finished decorating my downstairs 1/2 bath yet but I have things bought to finish it. On the wall with the sink, I have bought a blackish/gray crocodile print wallpaper (that is textured) that we ordered from Home Depot. I can’t wait to see it and the sconce lights and everything finished. But that would be beautiful in your laundry room too on an accent wall..and maybe some shiplap. I love shiplap and I think it’s way too stereotyped to the “farmhouse” look. To me it can be combined with several different looks…I personally love and go between French country and British tropical Colonial …which brings in the animal prints and plants. I have two Birds of Paradise (they would look beautiful in your home too) and two palm plants on either side of my fireplace in tall
    Planters). Sorry this was so long..I know your home will be beautiful! I can’t wait to see what you do😍

    The professional flooring designer I worked with recommended carpeted stairs for safety. She said many of her customers who insisted on wood came back for carpet after a family member or a pet had a bad fall. She helped me choose a subtle pattern that blends with the wood floors but has enough contrast to be a visual safety feature. Since this is your forever home, you might look into other “aging in place” features.
    Take a look at smart sliding panels to replace the vertical blinds. Functional and beautiful. You can also retrofit curtain rods with smart controllers.

    One consideration before you install all the molding: caulking it may be tedious, but it's a one time thing. DUSTING, however, needs to be done all the time. Wiping down all the molding all the time is necessary if you want it to look good, and it's sort of a pain. It seems to collect visible dust easily. (We change our furnace filters regularly, too.) Take it from someone who has a lot of white and pale colored walls with molding!

    Touchless faucets are like touchless soap dispensers or paper towel dispensers, which we have in the bathroom at work. They only turn on motion closeup. With the faucet some will run for a certain amount of time; like 15 seconds. Then you need to wave in front of the eye where the motion sensor is again.

    I have the touch on faucet and it never comes on by itself. After it is on for two minutes, it does shut off by itself however! I love it especially when baking and my hands are messy, just a touch of my wrist and presto, it comes on! They are so practical!

    Its always so much fun designing a new space! One suggestion is put your banquet table on casters with a lock. And yes the dining room fireplace screams for a magnificant stone mantel. I am sure you will build an amazing one.

    I used nice, thick curtains and would not do vertical blinds cause no matter what I did, it looked tacky. That part faces the east and we live in the south. Those curtains help with the blasting sun and heat in those hot months. We do have windows that have tint in them but the curtains make the difference! No vertical blinds.

    Loved all your ideas, so many of them are things I have done to our home. We updated our kitchen and we did the quartz Marble look, I love it. My husband built banquet seating because we downsized and our dinning table was way to big. We tried a round table but ended up going with more of an oval, our area was flanked by bay window so it was pretty! I can’t wait for all the fun projects you’re going to take us through! Have a blessed day!!

    OMG, I got so many ideas from this video. Love the idea of the pantry doors. I do have a no touch faucet and dish soap dispenser in my kitchen and I love them because when I work with meat or anything like that I don't cross contaminate those areas by touching them with dirty hands, I also like that if I am super busy in the kitchen or the kids forget to turn off the water it does it by itself. You motivate me and make me feel that I can tackle a built-in which I have been wanting for a while now. I can't wait to see all the changes you do in your forever home to get inspiration and courage to do some of my own. May God keep blessing you and your family in everything you guys do.

    I LOVE my touchless faucet. I've had it for 5 years. Super easy, it has a battery pack that is attached under the sink and I've only had to replace the batteries twice. The water will run for 3 minutes and turn off automatically unless you turn it off before then. It has definitely been a game changer in my kitchen! I think you will love it too.

    Countertops!!!!!!!
    We renovated our 1963 home with 1980s upgrades over several years with the intention of selling. Ir was done with a LOT of sweat equity and help from a contractor friend. The countertops in the kitchen were vintage 1963 bright lime green !!!!! We ended up using poured epoxy from Stonecoat Countertops and they were gorgeous looking Carrera marble when we were done….for a fraction of the cost!!!!!! It really was easy…. There’s just a LOT of prep work. Not terrible… just a bit tedious but a must. I’m so glad we did because it can get messy. …. Put plastic bags over your shoes and be sure to put lots of plastic sheeting down AND that rolled paper over the top for a walkway. We are going to do it again in our next home! It really was easy peasy! There are so many wonderful instructional videos out there and on that site. The possibilities are endless… oh, and instead of tiling the backsplash we opted for a slab that we cut and fit beforehand (remember to make it a fraction smaller to fit after pouring epoxy) and glued to the wall. Very sleek and modern! Hope you give it a whirl!

    Great ideas! I think painting and frosting the French doors is a great idea! I can’t wait to see what you do for the vent hood. The paneling molding is going to be absolutely stunning. I’m one of the ones who absolutely loves doing laundry.

    Hey! I have a touchless faucet in my kitchen! This is my second one. Love them!!! They will automatically shut off if left alone for 30 secs. They can still be used as with a lever or handle whatever. We just built a new home and we installed a beautiful gold/bronze one that I love. It was inexpensive enough that if it breaks in the future I can replace it but I love it!!!

    Amazon sells a flexible molding that you can easily bend it into a curve. It is an adhesive backing, but I recommend brad nailing it as well.

    When I built my house 23 years ago, I had builtins put in the master bedroom and my son’s room. I also had them put in the family room. I still love them today and they still look up to date. I also had bench seating built for my kitchen and then had a custom table built for the space. (a local artist made the base of the table out of wrought iron and then another built the wooden top). I love it! The only thing I have updated are the cushions and pillows. I like a clean non-cluttered look and the builtins provide that. I can’t wait to see what you do!!

    Spiral elegant open sculptures on either side of the fireplace. Could be clear glass or crystals. A series of ovals or circles. Press glass in neutrals. Wrought iron rings for structure.

I love your attention to the details, some I would have never thought of! Especially the idea for the mirrored doors. I hate how plain they are, such a great way to spruce them up. Also...super excited to get my drill!! I'm so glad to bought it during the live!
