Hi DIY Friends! Whoops - small typo 😥 The house should read 1865 to 1875!

"I really like this room so I'm going to redo everything " 😅😅😅😅

You can thank the wallcovering installer for prepping that wall correctly so that the paper was easy to peel off! Otherwise you could be standing there for days with a bucket of hot water and a utility knife making a huge mess then having to patch and sand the wall.

As much as I love the birds nest light, I can’t help but think of how hard it will be to clean...I see dusty cobwebs in your future.

Congratulations Danie! The house looks wonderful and I am sure you would make it more YOU. Can’t wait for the new stream of videos 🙌🏼

[ediebluntzer]

videos for the next 20 years!!! God bless

Was the house remodelled several times? Everything looks so new.
The interior doors look like composite wood, the front door looks modern, and the walls don't look plaster.
*This is not a critique! I live in a 200+ yr old home so when I saw the year the house was made I thought it would be similar to mine.*
(Your basement looks EXACTLY like mine haha.)
Your kitchen is a very good base, especially the updated appliances!
Don't worry about painting those cabinets, they aren't original antique wood, and painted kitchen cabinets are a very farmhouse thing to do!
Home Depot should sponsor a hardwood floor installation for you AND kitchen makeover!

Dani, minor comment, your backsplash is called stacked stone. And you’re right, it’s not easy to clean. Major comment, if you remove your master bedroom closet and replace it with built-in wardrobes, depending on local codes, it may no longer be considered a bedroom. Thusly making your home 2 beds instead of 3. Something to research/think about in terms of real estate value. Edit: I didn’t see any comments about it, but I don’t advise having signage pointing to your “studio”, because of security concerns. You have lots of expensive materials and equipment that you don’t want to walk away.

the weird landing is what use to be a horizontal door that separated the attic from the main house. So your upstairs use to be an attic. The door/staircase meant that you had access to the attic for easy storage but that you didn't have to heat the attic. and Congrats on the house!!!

You should take the door off the the entryway closet and build in a bench and coat Space Saving!

The fire hydrant rust aids in the coloring for the hydrangeas. It’s a way to infuse color in the bloom.

For that weird little ledge above the stairs turn it into a feature! Put in a skylight above the stairs to bring in natural light and then some shelves on the walls and have a bunch of plants there!!

My body is ready for all of the house content. Christmas came early.

[futami]

for entry fay I suggest to remove the closet door and add built in branch and shelf and mirrors this way it will open up the space more

[kathrynsamuelson]

Could you put pull out drawers in the bathroom "closets?"

[ivesence]

Congratulations! You're radiating happiness!!! So good to see!

[ShaydaCampbell]

Aah I love it! Congrats on buying and I can't wait to see what you do with it! That third tiny bedroom would make a great sound and editing studio... 😊

[priscalynne]

You are on the right track - let the home speak to you as you improve and decorate and it will feel just right! So excited for you and your future!

[virginiatolles]

What a delightful house! One piece of advice: Take some time and let the house "tell" you what it wants to be. You may find yourself developing an appreciation for architectural history -- and plenty abounds in that house, despite the new windows.
