HAPPY SUNDAY EVERYONE!🏡✨ This week I am tackling some DIY home projects before the holidays! We are hosting this year and I want to get the house up to speed before starting with our holiday decor!

Everything will be linked below in the description box :)

The teacher in me can't help say this. You really should say something to him about the doorknob plate. As a professional, he should really appreciate it. Otherwise he is going to keep making the same mistake. As my grandma always says, "I learn from every person I meet. Everyone has something to give.". I've learned so much from you. Thank you.❤

It does not require an electrician to change out your outlets. It just takes a screw driver after you have turned the power off and is a super easy DIY job. We change them every house we've moved into and taught our daughters how to do it in their homes.

Those light switch covers are a game changer! So glad you included it in this video. I had no idea!

[stinaljungstrom]

I love the changes you did! I like the direction of the plate for the doorknob someone installed it. It looks more right to me, than the other way around. Now the knob looks like it's the heavy part.

[christinaamezquita]

Love that you painted white, made a big difference. Your gallery wall and hanging pictures helped me I needed that, I was having trouble trying to hang my pictures. Thank you.

[jjdicarloutube]

You brave soul. I just realized you painted everywhere without a drop cloth. Amazing. I would destroy my house without one!!

[Pamcreatesjournals]

Absolutely let the installer know their mistake. It is a lesson earned and he will be so appreciative knowing. My eye went to the plate immediately and would always go to that plate, my brain would never allow me to not fix it. Glad you were able to overlook it, a peace I’ve yet to find. Everything is coming together beautifully. Tfs

Westhighland white is my favorite wall color and I was so happy to see someone finally use it. It's a beautiful soft white and your kitchen looks ten times better after you painted it.

[mschenandlerbong]

You could flip the knob plate down and install a brass "lock" knob above it over the holes. Even just a dummy one. Would look great.

[michelleabernathy]

Kristen, I have the same knobs and noticed right away it was upside down! If you plan to use the same knobs in the rest of the house, you should flip the plate.

[dawnhamilton]

Love your ideas Kristen, but please change the door knob I noticed it straight away, also don’t forget to paint the hinged strip of timber that you see when your door is open. Your home is looking beautiful and can’t wait to see what is next. Cheers from Australia

I LOVED the flow of this video!!! Idk how to describe it but it really felt like real life action and not a pro (as you are) working. That probably didn’t make sense but as usual you nailed it!!!

[tinasung]

Though painting the kitchen white does look alot better and brighter, I do feel it kinda made the kitchen cabinets look dated & darker. I prob would have just embrace the vintage style including painting wall paint same antique color as the cabinets. The offwhite will still brighten up the room but not bring as much contrast as white paint.

[doloreslivoti]

Hi Kristen, ahh now the kitchen looks bright, fresh and cohesive with the rest of your house.
Always love your DIY’s and helpful tips. Love the French door on your office, and you really do make painting look effortless, you’re a natural!

[jessicaantonakos]

I love when you do videos like this! It inspires and motivates me to get the miscellaneous diys done around my house too. And I learn so much from you! ❤

[PatriciaReisinger]

Absolutely, the kitchen looks better, then the green.

[duniaholleman]

I am so impressed with your painting the walls! I would have taped the areas I didn’t want painted but have paint all over the floor and on myself 😂. I really enjoy your videos! Thank you for your expertise in decorating! I’m remodeling my house and look forward to your ideas and suggestions to use in my home!

[loladlola]

Happy Sunday!! Kristen you make painting look so effortless. I wish it brought me joy to do it because I know it's one of the easiest ways to make your house look fresher, but I hate painting with a passion. Ugh.🤣

[AnnetteMitton]

I really enjoyed this video, so amazing helpful tips that won't break our bank accounts! ❤😊
