- My New House Tour! See the Start of My Wild & Crazy Dream House Remodel!
Alan and I just purchased a new home, the 14th home we have purchased in our 44 years of marriage. We LOVE fixing up houses, and this house is no exception! In this video I take you on a “before” tour of our new home which we plan to remodel from top to bottom.
If you have décor ideas or tips on surviving a major remodel, I hope you will share your information in the comments section below the video. That way we can help each other!

Beth, the walnut floors are stunningly beautiful! I can't believe you're going to take them out when they're so expensive too as you mentioned and they're gorgeous. Don't duplicate your other house. This is a whole new house. 🤗🌻
Thank you so much!
Beth, please go to a paint shop. Walnut is one of the most desirable and expensive woods. You could have the proprietor use different stains on unstained walnut. Some stains may really surprise you!. You could have the wood stripped and restained. That would be my choice. But of course, this is your house, lol.
I thought for sure it would be stripped ... too precious to waste, but not my house.
Agreed, those cabinets and doors are beautiful. I'm not a fan of dark woods anymore but you know they will come back in style in a few years😂
Agree 100%
I understand that the wood colors are coming back in. Personally, I do t go what what is popular. I go with what I like. And I definitely like white bright white! I will always do white because it makes everything open up, it’s my happy place.!
@@renyfornow9570 they already are; white cabinets are considered dated already.
I adore the floors the way they are I always tell everyone when you paint everything white it starts to look like the HomeGoods store that house has class the floors in the woods are beautiful
The walnut floors are gorgeous!
You keep criticizing current house but I like many of the current features. It’s a matter of everyone has different likes.
I agree. I would die for that style of home. Maybe a few upgrades, but definitely not the beautiful wood.
The price they will pay for remodel and house, they could have had a whole new home. 200,000 for this remodel.
@@raefreedom4154indeed
It is hard to believe that you want to paint that beautiful wood white. I think the original is beautiful.
I agree, I think the home is beautiful as is........... Gorgeous wood. I'd save my money and go on a trip.😊
I personally love home renovation content, so count me in Beth 🏡
Oh dear, what you Americans call a tiny bedroom is about the size of a whole living room in some European homes 🤣
Beth this is Bridget from Southern California and girl you do you in this beautiful home within these walls this is your castle and it should be exactly the look that you want the vibe that you prefer because you and Alan are going to be the ones living there and I do agree with being on the water it is so relaxing it calms the soul. I look forward very much to seeing the finished product.🥰
I believe the small front room you’re calling the living room is actually an office. There was probably a large desk in there with books and such on the shelves.
Yes, it’s an office….
Yes, it was built to be a home office. You might put Alan in there and use the other 'office' as a guest room or something else.
Yes its difficulty a office
I agree
Designed purposefully as a home office but especially for anyone that would be having clients come to their home office. With the view to the front of the house to see who is approaching the house and right by the front door so the client wasn’t getting to see your whole house. So apart from helping to keep heating costs down,those double doors to the great room would have also been to help with privacy.
Building a small lake in the backyard of the old sounds easier .
😆
lol!
I would never touch those beautiful floors...they are rich, elegant
Well that’s you and she’s not you she has her own taste I’m sure not everybody would agree with your style either.
Pease, pleaeaease don't rip out the walnut floors! If you don't like the finish on them, just have them refinished! You're going to save a TON of money by doing that and they're going to look fantastic. Also, refinished walnut (to a lighter colour) can work with white oak very well. I think it's a great idea to make all the trim white. Even if this IS solid wood, so it might seem blasphemous to some, to paint wood, but not to me! It will add a ton of light. And great idea, to have a white quarz countertop. Those look fantastic, and are so easy to maintain. I would also take the carpet out of your future gym room, what with the sweat and all. Beautiful house! Can't wait to see what you do with it! Best of luck!
I thought when she first spoke about taking out the wood from the main entrance and dinning area that she was going to say that it would be recycled to be the timber she wants in the hallways . So I think she means she is going to tear out some wood to replace it with different wood??
I’m confused but I do hope she reads all the comments about restraining the original wood. Imo such a terrible waste of resources and money otherwise
A stunning house, I love the style of the wood, I wouldn't change it, it gives a warm atmosphere. Of course it's a matter of style
Beth I think your beautiful home needs a foyer asap. I love white too I get it but I would keep all the wood doors and flooring as is. Wood is expensive. People with limited budget go for all white which looks clean and neat. But nothing looks as expensive and as timeless like wood. Look for famous home designers’ work they mostly go for wood. And that wall you want to tear down adds a nice privacy to your living area. Good luck with your reno work.
Beautiful house! I would not be removing those walnut floors, they are gorgeous! I have never ever painted wood trim, to me that wood trim really makes a room look high end.
I’m just going to be completely honest and ask why they even bought this house when she’s going to change everything that gives this house the rich warm fabulous look…
My thoughts EXACTLY!!!
I agree! So she is going to change the amazing, gorgeous expensive walnut to boring every other house plain white. Beth I can't believe you are actually going to ruin the rich quality wood with paint. OMG
I don't even get the floor plan! Why not just build??
The lake!
And will spend probably more than $100,000. Too much money for most of us.
Thank you for taking us on a tour, Beth. I actually LOVE the walnut flooring. Gorgeous! Yes, please take us along through your remodeling process. Lord bless your new home. 🌺🙏
Will do!!
I think I may be in the minority, but I love the charm of certain things you plan on changing. It’s interesting how we all see things differently. I understand the wood trim, I prefer white trim as well, but all white everywhere isn’t my thing. I’m so happy for you and I hope you both enjoy your new home!
The walnut floors are so pretty!! It's so sad you are ripping them out! The kitchen and granite I like very much! The house is beautiful!
WHAT BEAUTIFUL WOOD! Wood is so unique and takes SO long to become what it is. White paint over it takes it down to the level of plastic. I mean, it's just kind of sacrilegious, in my view. I love trees, so I hate to see them wasted. The floor is gorgeous.
I would keep that wall with the French doors and not tear it down, but have it continue all the way up to the ceiling, and put real French doors in there. It's nice to be able to close the doors to the kitchen when you are having a formal meal. Most of the time, you'll probably be eating in the kitchen. I agree about the light over the dining table. It needs to go. The layout of the whole house is a little odd, I agree, with strange angles everywhere, but all and all, it's a lovely home that you will enjoy.
I can’t imagine her painting the interior doors white. Oh my goodness, those interior doors are absolutely gorgeous and I think they’ll be ruined when she paints them white.
They are very dark and too much dark wood everywhere!! It's depressing. Not fashionable right now.
I know, why does everyone want everything to be white! Just my humble opinion, but I like some color in my life, not white, white like everyone else!
@@kellyb.1257actually wood is coming back and having an all white house is out of style. I think given the doors are knotty alder and the floors are walnut it would be a shame to paint and replace them with a cheaper wood. Maybe refinish them to a lighter stain with a matte finish would be beautiful. But in the end, it’s her house. She can do as she pleases.
Agreed! I do like white trim BUT if I bought a house with ALL the trim in this beautiful wood I would go with it! I think it's a SHAME to paint it ALL white! I HATE the "white, grey, black" look; it's on it's way out!
I could not have said it better! I’d be over-the-top grateful to have that lovely home totally « as is »!!!
I actually like the floors and if you are adding so much white I think it would look nice to have something warm on the floor like that walnut. That house is so beautiful even though it’s somewhat dated it’s a beautiful home! I think all the trim gives it character…
Love the house Beth but when it becomes sterile, I am not so sure. It is totally your house. I absolutely love all the wood as is, trim, doors, kitchen. A couple of the bathrooms are a bit dark. I always wonder why people want free standing tubs. I like the ledge, partly to prevent water from getting on the floor but I like to have my wine and candles and you would have to bring in some tables around a free standing tub. I would die for those floors, trim and doors. Just absolutely gorgeous. But it is your house and if you want the sterile look then go for it. I'll be crying at the final reveal video lol. BTW, quartz is awesome. Black countertops not so much. Shows dust. I love the kitchen cabinets and white quartz would look spectacular! Good luck, that is A LOT of renovations. I wish I lived near you to go to the store where you will be donating everything you are ripping out!
I loved everything you shared. My son and his wife bought a wood trim house and they love it! You are right that it is very warm.💝
Lol! Yes! I wish I lived near her donation center too! Such a beautiful home!
You and hubby had to buy this home for the lake...for sure ~ because you are changing or redoing almost everything in this home. I vision way too much white but not my taste either. I had to laugh how everything will be white and then when you got to the basement you didn't really like the 'white' carpet. It is a very large home and I am sure you will love it in time. Spring time brings snakes and they are at every lake in the US that has warm weather. Just keep garage doors down as they like cool, dark places to hide. Will take this renovation with you and see the transformation. Thanks for the tour Beth.
You are so welcome! Thanks for your very nice comments. Alan and I are pretty much always change everything. That’s kind of what we do.
Yes please would love to see more videos
Congratulations 💞🩷you bought a beautiful house.
That wood is so beautiful.
The wood is beautiful!!! too much to make white!!! I mean it's your money!!! I just can't imagine buying my dream home and then changing everything!!! I can only wish for all of this! but it is a beautiful home!
The entire beauty of the house is the stunning wooden finishes. I would never change all the wood to white finishes especially the walnut floors, but I guess each to their own.I also like the existing granite. It’s a lovely house and I love the view of the lake. I wish you lots of happiness in your new home.
Thank you so much!
Hi Beth, I just love all the beautiful wood. I guess we each like different things. We live on a lake too that is larger than yours, but you will never tire of looking out. I like your idea of taking out the walls. Your heating bill be more because of all the open space.
I would love to see video of the changes. At least you are a woman who knows what she wants.
I am very happy you have recovered from your stroke. It will be very noisy with all the work being done, so you might want to get away a little and enjoy the outside.
I always wonder why people paint beautiful wood. I like the rich color of warm wood with books, fireplace and cosy through rugs. We all have different styles?
The wood floors in the walk-in from the front door are gorgeous...use white stain not paint. Ask your painter if he sands it down and stains it a white he won't have to fill in all those rough spots could save you thousands. If he does the job right he has to sand it all down and then fill in all those uneven textured spots which he probably have to put almost a full coat of spackle over the whole door to make it even. Slow down and rethink some of it.or not... Congratulations enjoy
I love white everything. Best of luck. It’s gonna be hell, but worth every second of it. Your result will be stunning and I can’t wait to see it ❤️❤️❤️
Walnut is an expensive, timeless, and harder wood. Superior as a rule. It's gorgeous. Because it's classic, I wouldn't consider that as "dated"
We had a family interior design/flooring and shutter business from 1978-2020. Just my input. ❤
But it’s a very orange /red heavy colour which looks rather garish . It might be a lovely wood but the finish of it ( and all the heavy cabinets /shelves /trim throughout the house ) looks too heavy & overpowering .. I think Beth’s taste will make the house look much more elegant, fresh and timeless .
Keep the walnut. Change the stain on it if you don’t like the color.
Beth your new home is priceless. I mean that literally. People pay a fortune to have walnut in their homes. Wealthy homes are not all white. Anyone can have an all white home but not too many could have this gorgeous walnut home you found. You would have been wise to buy a different home. You will be making an enormous mistake to change everything so soon. What if in the end it isn’t the look your after. This house was designed to look expensive and it does. Just consider and get some professional advice before you make so many major changes. I speak from experience. I bought a home with stained woodwork and white was what everyone had and I couldn’t wait to get the house painted white. I got sick and it was the best thing that could have happened. Once we moved in I fell in love with the way it looked. It is so
inviting and warm and I am so thankful I didn’t jump the gun. White would have looked horrible and cheap. Think about some more.
Sounds like lots of work! It is an ambitious project. I hope it all turns out just the way you have envisioned. As for me, I can't imagine spending so much time and money to change the colors in that house. Once this color scheme was the latest thing. There will always be trends and these colors will return. They still look beautiful. But, to each his own! Those chandeliers belong in a mid century house I think. Glad some of the materials can be donated for reuse.
A lot of work and A LOT of money!!!
Congratulations to you! We bought a huge house 5 years ago @64 years old
Trust me I heard comment saying “Shouldn’t you be downsizing “!
We moved from a small beach condo and we’ve been loving it ever since! You will love your circle drive (our had pavers, love the light, maybe you can have the floors sanded and stained a whitish stain (saving money)
❤Enjoy your new life and home!
I’ll be watching your journey
I have quartzite in my kitchen & bar - we backlit the kitchen island and the bar that has the WOW factor! You’ll be so glad you did! Wish I could send you photos ❤
I like the brown doors and trim and floors
I like the granite countertops
I agree the light fixtures do not go with the house
Definitely want to see the entire remodel. Location, location, location…I can see why you loved that home. The setting is so pretty…relaxing
Best of luck
I lived next to a lake in California and there was a massive spider problem.
Oh Beth...the walnut floors are BEAUTIFUl!!!! The doors are gorgeous! Why would you want to paint EVERYTHING white!!? You pointed to the knots and cracks in the wood around the doors etc...that is what gives the wood such lovely character! I am just a little younger than you and I do like light and bright, but your new home has so many beautiful windows which will bring in a lot of natural light...so I don't see why you feel you need to make everything white. I like your ideas with regards to the bathrooms and kitchen...and I do like the light fixture in the kitchen.:-) Quartz is the new granite. It is very durable and very beautiful. I totally agree with the removal of that interesting wall that you see after you enter the house and the ugly entryway tile. Of course we all have our own tastes in decor and what we like, but you asked for our opinion...and you got it!:-)
Thanks so much for your comments. I appreciate your thoughts as we are still considering.
I love the natural look of the wood trim. That's a beautiful house!! Good luck with it! My brother is a carpenter and he says quarts is the best stone to use as a kitchen countertop. The problem with the white trim is it has to be cleaned a lot. It gets crappy looking after a while. It's much easier to maintain a natural wood trim in my humble opinion. I tend to go for the more rustic style anyway.
I totally get that. Wood is more natural looking and the white entails more maintenance.
Garage doors look great!! The "jewelry" really adds to the look.
Love your new home. But please rethink painting the library room. It would take away the closeness. Just put two big overstuffed chairs and a nice end table in between them. With good reading lamp, of course. Plus, have some darkish drapes. You have so many other rooms for a TV. This would give one room just for quite reading.
That walnut is far more expensive than oak, keep the floors. You can add rugs but don’t tear up those floors. Plus call the owners and tell them they forgot their snake!! Couldn’t pay me to live on or near water for that reason
I love all the wood! The house is gorgeous as is, maybe some of the light fixtures could be updated, but I don’t see all the “ugly” that you see.
Gorgeous home. I was wondering if the wood floors could be refinished to match the white oak you want in the other areas. Worth an ask to save thousands. I’m guessing the new floors are 50 and up. Have fun. Take us on your journey. ❤
I love the floors… can you save yourself some money and just have them sand down and stay till the light color? I think it’s the finish that makes them dark. It doesn’t look orange to me. I actually like them. I agree I don’t like that chandelier at all. I also agree that that wall should come down so your whole house will be more open, beautiful home congratulations🤗
Wow! Love the view and the basement.
The house looks amazing the way it is IMHO.
I personally would do about half those renovations and use the money for a vacation instead.
The wood in the house is gorgeous! That might be a Filmore house plan. Very pretty 🤩
Those floors are beautiful.
Why would you buy a house you don't like? There is something in every room you hate or you think its ugly. This house is fabulous just like it is, minus some upgrades. The wood is amazing and so are the floors minus the tile, I do agree with that. Good luck with the changes.
My apologies Dorris. I really should’ve explained myself better. The house is lovely as it is, but it is just not quite to my taste. What I didn’t explain in the video is that in the course of our marriage, Alan and I have remodeled more than 40 homes. We always buy houses that really aren’t quite to our taste, and then Remodel them. I really should have explained that.
You have moved 40 times? I hate moving. You are very fortunate to be able to spend so much money to change everything. Good Luck - God Bless
Yes, please show us all the remodeling. You will love quarts, so easy to take care of.
I love your new home as is, it is a beautiful home and I love the Walnut floors. I recently did my kitchen in white and chose a white and black quartz countertop I also did muted gold drawer pulls and accents. I just love it..
Sounds gorgeous Jean!!
Youj’ll definitely love Quartz countertops, make sure to select matte white with a little grey veining. You’ll love it!!
Thanks for the tip!
White woodwork is totally over. You might sit with some things before imposing your old ideas on the new space.
May you have many happy years there.
White woodwork is never out of style. All that wood is dark and depressing.
White woodwork is over says who?… If a person likes white woodwork they should have white woodwork …we don’t need to follow someone else who simply may have very different taste. People should be true to what they enjoy not be copycats.
I love love, love KNOTTY Alderwood. I love the wood underneath your granite on the bar all the detail oh my gosh, it looks so rich, white and gold fixtures. They say are going out my architecture. Designer said don’t paint your cabinets white you’re telling me this is the house you wanna retire in because in seven years you’ll be redoing those white cabinets because they chip. White paint lays on top of the wood staingoes into the wood and will not chip. He was right when we built our house I changed my mind. Did not paint my kitchen cabinets white and I’m so thankful I did not go dark with a lighter stain Antique white from Sherwin-Williams.
I love that wood too. I think it's so pretty and so natural.
I have maple cabinets that are just a touch lighter than her cabinets and in the kitchen I have quartz that looks like white marble. You need a contrast. Everything white will be way too much white.
I think maybe I'd agree with her going with white baseboards and white crown molding. All that white -- yuck! I like the warmth of wood. Too much trying to change this house to be like the other house. Big waste of money. But, apparently they have money to burn.
Wood color is coming back I'm learning too. I am sad that walnut is going away 😞
I hope the previous owners aren't watching to hear all the critiques. The house is stunning as is and I'd be thankful beyond belief. Congrats, to you, Beth and Alan. 💕
I hope so too! They just purchased a new home with all white trim.
I agree don't paint the wood The wood looks luxurious in a home that costs more your wood makes your home look luxurious and worth the money you spend White is a horrible color to paint on the wood so blase just saying Beth I wouldn't ruin that beautiful wood!
The wood doors and trim is actually really beautiful
Love your new home. The Dillon room should be a home office/library instead of a small livingroom. It will be lovely. Your decorating ideas are great!
Yes! Thank you so much!!
Those wood doors are so beautiful, and the trim, it just makes my heart heart hurt to see if painted white. I do agree in white for kitchen though!
Loved the house tour! Can't wait to see it finished. Here is my opinion - The wood floors and doors are absolutely gorgeous and elegant. I would not replace or paint them. I would go after the dark bathrooms and tile flooring. Replace the backsplash in the kitchen... Get rid of the white carpet in the basement. It will be impossible to keep clean and keep from getting stained when someone knocks over a drink. Can you find a compromise on some of your wishes? Good luck and have fun Beth!
Hi Beth, Great to see you back! I hope you feel uplifted by the positive comments! You asked for ideas re your lovely new home, so I respectfully offer mine. Steer away from "the furniture store look" i.e. a dining table constantly set. Rethink trends that age a home, such as interior signs like "Happiness". Instead of national chain stores, buy local to give your home a unique feel. Display personal items from your travels. It would be fun to see some of Kansas represented in your home art. This gives your home a more curated feel. Congratulations on your exciting project. And blessings to your and yours.
everybody painting the cabinets white 🤯We put cabinets in houses in every single person gets white cabinets or gray cabinets there’s no real wood anymore and I love a real wood kitchen like a cigar bar that’s so sexy looking it’s so sad that everybody’s going with the same exact style it reminds me of the 70s where everybody painted their walls like lemon yellow and everybody’s house look exactly the same no Personality
It’s huge!! I think you should not paint all the wood white. Maybe leave the fireplaces in wood to warm up the rooms. I am so happy for you. I can hear the excitement in your voice. Enjoy and hugs from Australia. ☺️🙏🏼🍷😊
Thanks so much!!
Gorgeous wood floors …I would strip and stain them as dark oak. I personally, love oak wood floors against eggshell/ white colored walls. Looks so elegant and classic:)
I’m sure if removed that walnut would sell for a pretty penny.❤
The house is huge and beautiful! Personally, I would love a house with all wood doors and trim because I’ve always lived in track homes with no wood details. It will be a lovely home for you and I’m excited to follow along on your remodel!
Hi! Maybe it would have been better to have kept looking for a house with more of your taste. It sounds like a total gut job.This house is lovely. I like the floors and granite there 🤷🏻♀️
Hire an interior designer before you do ANY remodeling. They have experience and know all the vendors and resources for everything. It is worth the cost because he or she will keep you from making costly, expensive mistakes. This house has nice curb appeal but is dated on the inside. Professionals can give you choices that you will not think of because you don’t have the same training. This could be a lovely home, but it needs a skilled designer.
Yes I agree! Just to get some fresh ideas and see what you like and then decide.
Beth, your new home is beautiful! The walnut is especially beautiful, but if it's not your taste, I get it. The lake view is spectacular. I look forward to watching your progress.❤
WOW you are super WEALTHY....we are restoring a place big as your living room...$25,000 just for tub to shower...I enjoy all this too...we are Dredging all our rooms, very chic in France and with top designers using Farrow & Ball paint colors....I sure know the cost of your plans....exciting....circle driveway is superb, less yard work that is costly and gets tiring as people age, I am a master gardener and it is work I promise that...congrats
My thoughts exactly about them being wealthy?! Maybe she hasn’t had any quotes yet? Also her “basement” is bigger than our entire 3 bedroom house so all I could think was she must be super wealthy to do such a big Reno but also she must have a house keeper? I feel exhausted just at the thought of all of the house work involved! Even if it is only going to be the two of them there most of the time, somehow dust still manages to move into every nook and cranny 😢
Beautiful home Beth. I’m going to love going on your journey with you. I loved your style in your last home so I know it’s going to be gorgeous. ❤
The room with all the bookcases in front would be an office space.
Beth please rethink painting your beautiful wood. Its gorgeous don't do just plain Jane white wood. 5 years from now it will chip and peel.
Hi Nancy. Actually, I wish I had explained that better in the video. The house is truly lovely. Just the way it is. Unfortunately, the white tram is just more to my taste. I grew up in white trim houses and it always says to me. You are right though the maintenance is higher on painted trim. I keep a stock of Q-tips in the trim paint and about every three months I go through the house dabbing little nicks.
I do not know the age of the house, but it is classic and beautiful and rare as it is, and that view and open space and water energy is priceless. America is full of modern “white” IKEA look houses, and I think it is a tragedy to destroy the unique beauty of this lovely home. I grew up in the Sixties in England where one gorgeous classic Stately Home was destroyed every week because of the Government’s criminal Death Duty Taxes. Those homes are lost for ever. Thank God we have learned to value the remaining Stately Homes and they are authentically preserved.
I can guarantee that when you finally leave this home the new owners will try and restore all the beautiful wood which matches the lake setting so well. I would live in the house as it is, maybe only changing the brown bathrooms and spend the money on a Keto Chef, masseur and fitness trainer, but maybe you already have those. Congratulations on doing Carnivore when the rest of the family are eating “normally”, you are truly amazing for achieving that, well done.
It would be so much better for your health and well-being to have a Chef and get away from the microwave and processed foods. I hear about Dirty Keto but there appears to be Dirty Carnivore as well. I think Dr Anthony Chaffee, busy as he is, just cooks a second Ribeye and chops it up in a container to take to work. No burger and processed cheese. You are what you eat and the microwave is so bad for your health. I researched them thirty years ago and have never owned or used one!
Good luck with your renovations but I will not be watching, it would be too heartbreaking!! Thank God you and Alan appear to have the same design taste, if he was like me it would be divorce time😂😂Namaste 🙏
Don't paint the wood!!
I was going to write the same thing. I mean, I live in a small apartment with already painted wood, but it is most likely pine or sth. With some tiny spaces, and with some cheaper kinds of wood, I understand painting. But, if I had a grand lake house like this, I would certainly keep most of it unpainted. And the walnut floors look gorgeous. Beth, please at least consider keeping some of the wood unpainted 🤗
I love the wood and the wood floors. I’m unusual and don’t go with trends just always like the same thing.
I was up instantly drawn to the amount of light you home lets in, it’s warm inviting and will be a dream to live in. Th sunset shaped windows are just everything ⭐️congratulations to you and Alan on your forever home. Xx 😊
So happy for you Beth! And yes!, to the reno videos!!! Love ya, Cindy🌻💗
Love the house and all your plans for it. Great view too!
Wow! Beautiful home! Love your remodeling ideas! The lake will bring much enjoyment! So happy for you. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for taking us along with you. This is fun!
Yes, I would love to watch the whole remodel. I am so excited for the transformation.❤️
How exciting for you two😊😊
You are going to be so happy in this house ! The house does need warm colours however ! So gold accent throughout the house would be beautiful! The greys and steel looks are almost a thing of the past ! Yes , I know it’s irritating , that’s just because the vendors can produce new merchandise every five years ! Congratulations on your new home and it’s beautiful by the lake !
Thank you so much! You are certainly right about Marketing! Lol!
I love your new home Beth and I am so excited for you !!!!!!!!!!!
I just LOVE all the stained woodwork in your house, but I know from watching HGTV that it is no longer in style. I think your home is absolutely perfect. Enjoy it Beth!!!
neither are white kitchens
Great view. Lots of nice ideas. I can’t wait to see more.
I love seeing remodels! Go for it! Please share!
So happy for you!
This is so exciting! I’m looking forward to seeing the transformation. It’s going to be gorgeous. I hope you make lots of wonderful memories in your new house and share them with us.
I would love to see every second of the remodeling. I just love it when people do this from start to finish.
More to come!
Wow, what a find! I can't believe all the comments you have received. I agree, the floors and doors are beautiful. I wonder if it would be cost effective to sell the doors and replace them with white. Paint the trim and leave the wood floor; sanding it will help match new wood you want to add. Get rid of ALL the carpet. Congratulations and good luck - can't wait to see the progress.
I love your new home! I can’t wait to watch all the updates you are doing to your home.
love seeing all you updates
What a beautiful home!! It is striking from the outside and has good bones/location with the water nearby. I love your vision for it and can’t wait to see your ideas come to fruition. You and Allen have worked hard and deserve to create your dream retirement home. God bless you both. 🙏🏼💕
Your new home is lovely and huge! 😁 You have a wonderful sense of design, and I like the plan to lighten up the interior with white paint and the change of flooring. I look forward to seeing more videos of the extensive remodel. It’s going to be beautiful!
Lovely home! Can't wait to see your renovation videos! :)
Looks beautiful! Can’t wait to see what you do with it.
Very Exciting!!! Keep us in the loop please
Congrats on new lake home! Love gold light fixtures with your color scheme. Can’t wait to see all of the updates!
Wow beautiful. Thank you for the lovely tour ❤
So excited for you!! Would love to be kept updated with the renovations.. I love all of that kind of stuff. Try not to stress to much and enjoy. I know you will enjoy living on the water... Can't wait to see what's next, have a great Mother's Day Beth!!😊
We did a complete remodeled our home also. I did white wood and quartz and do enjoy the quartz. It's almost marble looking but very little pattern and of course grey. I love it with the white cabinets. I do see why you want to lighten up the house inside. I'm the same way. I'd change all the fixtures personally especially with what you have said your changing and updating. Looking forward to seeing your improvements.
Congratulations on your new lake home! How exciting! I’m looking forward to the videos of your vision and personal touches for your new home coming to life.
I love home improvements.❤. Yes, move videos
Yes, I love interior design so I would love to see your new renovation. Good thing you have a beautiful large space in the lower level to live in while your project is going on.
Congratulations! I can’t wait to see the makeover!
Congratulations! So much work but you seem up for the tasks. Beautiful view! I just replaced all the counter tops and sinks and faucets in 3 of my bathrooms and what a difference it makes! I'm looking forward to seeing your new place brighten up. Have a Happy Mothers Day!
