Isn’t this real life, not HGTV? The entire house is a massive project, not everything is going to fit perfectly into one video with a tidy reveal at the end.
I'm much happier seeing how it unfolds over time. I don't expect - or want - a tidy perfect package all tied up with a bow in every episode. That's not real life. Not mine, anyway!
I love that you are decorating and making rooms livable before major work is completed so many vloggers post endless videos of them gutting the house, so boring and I always think “ what did you love about the house in the first place if you’re remodeling so much of the character out of the house “
I mean, I do understand why people do the renovation phase first, it's so much easier and faster to do it that way, and it really is the ideal way to go about a full house makeover, but I just don't have the time or money to do it that way (plus I'm not gutting the place, we're trying to do a sympathetic restoration as much as possible rather than a gut-and-replace). Now I have a couple clean rooms that I will have to constantly reclean and get all the renovation dust and dirt out of, which is less than ideal, but that's just reality for me, so might as well have a couple nice clean rooms in the place, right!?
@@ShannonMakeswhere you have the resources to have a contractor do renovations, they tend to take over the whole house, so redecorating a single room isn't really viable. Doing the rescue yourself allows the flexibility to set up single rooms as you go.
Two things you could do if you remove the wallpaper. The nautical wall paper looks really interesting. If you can save an entire ship, why not frame it as a picture. Or, if you are able to get good pieces of each of the different layers. Frame each layer and place in a row on the wall to show the history of the house.
I keep telling this to the algorithm, but every time I look up “Shannon”, it first fills the page with Shannon Sharpe until I get to the M. I have never once watched anything with Shannon Sharpe.
My mom used to move furniture by herself, even between floors of our big house, while we were at school and work. Sometimes we'd be in a different bedroom. She wasn't a big person and we were often amazed. She was a gifted and thrifty decorator! I also like the blue rug and the beautiful light in that room.
Living in a "Long Term" Project House, doesn’t mean it isnt your home!! Making the house into a home doesn’t mean waiting until it’s perfect! Make what you can as homey as possible until the big makeover. Otherwise it just feels like you are "staying" there rather than living in your home. Love the way the room turned out!
We have borrowed light windows above our bedroom doors too. I have a little cardboard insert that I put in when I go to bed. The motion sensor lights in the hallway kept waking me up when family members got up to pee. I made it pretty with flowers etc so when I take it down in the mornings I stand it on my desk as a sort of piece of artwork.
The room looks really nice! The rug is corgi-approved which is all that matters! I love the big window; it is the perfect spot for a desk. It is nice to have the transom window above the door cleared; it will bring in more light to the hallway. The furniture sliders sold are great for moving furniture. I have moved big heavy furniture (heavy upright piano, armoire) all by myself using them. I have left those under the furniture in case I need to move them to clean and it helps protect the floors.
So many layers of wallpaper, geez; nice glimpse of history though. Beautiful office space, and Cannelle approved! Positive thoughts your way, that you get a car in really good shape. Have a wonderful weekend.
I can tell you that it used to happen a lot. Not just because it’s annoying to remove wallpaper. Wallpaper is the best surface to wallpaper on. Especially back in the day and the glues and paper we had.
Oh the memories. Those old "sound systems" used tubes, yes those tube thingies that worked (once upon a time). If the parts are all there, a 'simple' rewiring just might give you songs to work by. Fair warning, if it has the same speakers I am familiar with, start at low volume, otherwise you'll be entertaining the neighbours. 12 inch speaker on my old radio could be heard next door, not kidding.
I love what you’ve done with the place. I look forward to the day you finally uncover all the wallpapers, but until then, I love just knowing they exist. It also makes me wonder when was the last time I wiped down my walls….
if you go back and watch the original video, you'll remember that I picked it up on Marketplace, and that it's an original art deco lamp from Germany in the 30s!
The room looks great! And I agree, having a space that is a respite from the renovation craziness is essential for your sanity. It's also a fun challenge to make something enjoyable out of someone else's choices.
The room turned out great, very cozy! Definitely agree with the choice of rug (and by the looks of it, so does Canelle)! Every piece of furniture I get immediately get those little stick-on pads put under their feet, so I can shove them around as I please without damaging the floor. 😅
We're in the middle of a whole house renovation in Colorado, and every time I feel weighed down about everything we still have ahead of us, your videos get me motivated to keep going. Thank you Shannon (and Phil and Canelle!)
I had a desk like that at work and I loved that it had preset buttons so that you can program your perfect sitting and standing heights. Yours looks like it has that feature. It must be nice to have a proper office setup in your home.
The room looks great, it's lovely to shop in your own warehouse of items. Corgi seal of approval, for the win. I also love that your desk doesn't impede Canelle from peering out at her domain.
Funnily enough we just had one of those exact desks delivered to my workplace to replace my boss's old non-adjustable desk. Twas fun helping the FedEx guy get that through the door!
Glad you decided to tell us you don’t need input from the peanut gallery. Your space, your style. Love to see the progress on your home. You are brave, crazy, fun, and inspiring. Thanks for sharing your journey.
@@ShannonMakes giving to suggestions for future. I a plex or real glass lid on the record players top is nice. Second starch and lace on windows including Transom one above door is a sweet look.
That room ended up being so cozy and so beautiful. Going through a home reno can be so draining it's good to create the cozy, relaxing spots to retreat to at the end of the day.
I’d highly recommend my second channel for exactly this purpose, I literally have “clean with me” videos where I basically just act as a body double for people who want to listen to me clean and chat while they do their own tasks
it’s feeling like autumn 🍂🌾🍁🍃🎃here too! brrr 🥶 60° fahrenheit gonna drop to 45 low at night in Alabama! but that’s sweater weather in the south! we can get into the 20s and teens on occasion, but yeah it’s milder here!😂
Those dishes are fantastic. The cracker tin is amazing. Love the old door knob. I hope the record player still works. You could turn the accounting books into a secret storage place. I love the day bed. You can keep it and make an extra bed or a couch. OMG, real tin ceiling panels, they are expensive. Great choice for the curtain. The Toulouse Lautrec pictures are a great idea. I absolutely love the one of the beautiful lady, most of his people are "not attractive", some are scary looking like that one. The final look is great.
Cardboard! Use your bigger bits of cardboard to slide/ pull furniture where you want it. I'm in my '60s, got a lot of muscle loss from chronic fatigue, but l can still move a standard upright piano around a room using cardboard. Love the phrase 'scope creep'. Guilty as charged, milud!
I much prefer using the thicker, softer towels as in my (rather lengthy, due to a precocious childhood) experience, they don't scratch the floor, whereas cardboard can
Charging stations!! I went to the cheep shop and bought a tiny little metal book case, I think it's actually a plant stand or something... I put it near the power point and it's the perfect size for laptops, a Makita charger, battery storage and I even have my Dyson body and smaller parts on it with the large attachment leaning against it. It's such a cute little study you've done such a great job styling it! ❤
The room looks lovely! The rug is perfect with the color scheme you have in there-so serendipitous that you brought it in to protect the floor. It’s a mystery to me why people painted over/shut transom windows, they’re so good for air circulation. We had them in an apartment in Chicago and it frustrated me to no end that I couldn’t open them up when a room got stuffy. Glad you were able to get the paint off the glass to let the light through.
A lovely transformation! I really like how light-filled the room is, the position of the desk, that amazing entertainment center, and a CORGI APPROVED RUG.
Cute little useable space. As much as a love a full BEFORE/AFTER vibe, it's nice to see some more achieveable small improvements to make your space liveable and cute until you're able to do soemthing like that. Because that's the kind of thing us regular folks tend to have to do
I should’ve watched the whole video before leaving a comment. I have those same windows above the doors upstairs in my house. Built in 1888. The room looks elegant Shannon! ❤
Oh wow, what a lovely discovery - so many wallpaper varieties. Hope you can save some and maybe later on you can create a collage of the many wallpapers from your house.
It turned out lovely! While I can't attest for this specific electric desk, I can say they're awesome! We have them at work now and it's soo good for my posture to switch between standing and sitting and being able to adjust it by the millimetre to make it work for exactly my height and the task at hand is wonderful!
Love how you’ve dressed the room Shannon, it does look so lovely, but I am impressed with that tin ceiling, I wonder if it’s copper? that would look amazing as a splashback in your kitchen, and I can’t wait to see what treasures are in the attic, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧
Love it! This reminds me that I need to add my rug back to my office soon. Also I have a flexispot desk and I love it! I mostly use it for my computer set up but I love that I can change the height to accommodate a comfortable sewing machine position in addition to standing and sitting at my computer.
I have an idea for a docking station that you could put in that room, without changing the aesthetic of the stereo decor. They make hanging docking station shelves that you could hang on the wall. These would maximize the space in the room, and some of them are decorative enough that they wouldn't kill the aesthetic. I know Amazon has some really inexpensive ones, that would look really cute in that room! Best part, they will mail it directly to you. Of course, Amazon isn't the only place you can get one, and there are other options, such as taking scraps from the old wood you have around the house and making one yourself! Just a suggestion, but one I thought you might appreciate, from one crafter to another. 😄
I like it, however I'm actively not putting anything on the walls until the plaster is fixed🫠 But also, I need a charging station that can charge about 12 batteries, so it's bigger than most average docking stations cover 🙃 #youtuberlife
@@ShannonMakes which is why I suggested that you custom make your own! 🤣 Also, I completely understand waiting until the plaster is fixed. My thought could be implemented at any time. Just an idea for down the road maybe. It may not help you right now... unless you got one of those that could hang off the desk. They make those, too.
Good morning Shannon 🎉on the road home from NJ, my Dad's funeral, and what a comfort to have a Shannon Makes video to have comfort as we drive 8 hours home to Ohio 😊
Maybe use one of the cushions on the chair to make it more comfortable. If it is too thick, remove some of the stuffing or get/make a pillow form to go inside. My sewing chair always has a cushion otherwise my sore butt dictates less quilting time.
I love what you and Phil are doing with your house! So many times I wish it was real time though, I have so many suggestions! Like, my daughter has a Matrix that's currently off the road (I don't know why) that she plans to sell. (She lives fairly close to you, I believe.) Also, I work at Home Hardware and just a few days ago I sold paint to a customer that was repainting some vintage radiators. He bought them from someone on the French Shore who may have more to sell. Anyway, you filmed the latest vids last summer, I think, so this probably isn't of any use to you now. Ah well. Happy restoring! Love your channels!
I love what you did with the room, I would change one thing. Maybe put the mirror on the record cabinet with the light in front of it. This will reflect and disperse the light. Also, might protect the mirror from damage on the floor. Overall great choices!
The record cabinet seems like a perfect spot to do the charging inside the top! That way your cords are hidden. But I understand that you can't put any decorations on top then.
I've never found them nearly as effective at not scratching floors as several layers of towels (when completely rearranging items across rooms, I mean)
Great job! You've really chosen the "right" path (IMO) with an old house - spruce up where you can, and do full renovations room-by-room, as time permits.
Your office turned out beautiful!! What a genius idea taping that box, so the scrapings didn't get all over the floor. Thanks for another enjoyable video! On to channel two!! Have a wonderful week!
For moving furniture solo, I recommend investing in a set of furniture sliders. They are cheap and allow you to slide on hard wood or carpet without damage. Even with 2 people, sliders make moving larger pieces easy. And I love the new room!
😂😂 glad you mentioned the lamp shade 😂😂 I was yelling nooo at the screen but knew there was a reason why you chucked it., I thought weld damage. Watching a prior video about fabric scraps I wondered if you had a P.O. Box and you answered that as well! Are you reading our minds!?😂😂😂
Don’t know if anyone made this suggestion for a charging station so here is mine. A basket or a box that you can hide everything inside. A hole in the bottom or back for the plug of a power bar and then everything fits inside and is hidden. Maybe even that telephone box you found in the attic could be modified to hold everything. Or if you find a box or basket with a lid you could stack your books on top so the items on the record cabinet are at different heights. The room looks great. Love the huge windows and all the light.
Sometimes you can find a match at Rosie's or Secondhand rose vintage wallpaper or other vintage wallpaper stores to find the year and even replacements. Or use google lens. I found a baseball pattern we had in our den in the 1950's at Secondhand Rose.
I am crossing my fingers that you end up with a Mini Van! I hauled a boat and a camp trailer with my Honda and it was bang on reliable and there are tons of those in the used car market. You can even pull the seats out and camp in it. Was the most practical vehicle I’ve ever owned.
That came out so nice !! I love the Nautical wallpaper !! Can't wait to see the room maybe 1 side the Nautical and the other side the one underneath it , that wud look cool !! Nice desk !!
Soo many layers of interesting wallpaper! I’d be half tempted to randomly rip off the layers so all the designs are semi- visible the put a clear matte lacquer on top. Could make an interesting distressed feel. (Could also look like a horrendous mess, but could be fun finding out! 🤣) that pirate map wallpaper looks really cool. It’s such a beautiful airy space, and the light levels are perfect! And I definitely think you made the right choice with the rug. It makes the space seem so much more welcoming.
I have that exact standing/sitting desk in my home office and I love it. It goes up and down slowly so that nothing gets knocked over and it had quite a range of positions for shorter people (like me) or taller people. Great choice Shannon, I’ll bet you love it.
I accidentally stumbled across an excellent way to watch this: I got really tired and fell asleep about the time you were talking about your car options and when I woke up RUclips had the second channel video up on my recommendations. I watched that whole video then came back here for the reveal, so it felt very natural and informative ❤
@@ShannonMakes hahaha I guess seeing it near the rug was an OMG THEY GO TOGETHER moment for me. But then I saw them together and not in a thrift store…
Aw..😍don't know where to start, i love this, everything!! I used an old, broken bedframe, like yours in the garden, to grow cucumbers, tomatoes would also work. Have a beautiful weekend❤
I just watched that whole video but there was no reveal at the end. You talked a lot.
I'd say I'm sorry for wasting your time, except that I'm absolutely not
@@ShannonMakes That's fine. I've wasted it on worse things. Have a great day.

Such self control with the wallpaper - impressive

I like it, however I'm actively not putting anything on the walls until the plaster is fixed🫠 But also, I need a charging station that can charge about 12 batteries, so it's bigger than most average docking stations cover 🙃 #youtuberlife
@@ShannonMakes which is why I suggested that you custom make your own! 🤣 Also, I completely understand waiting until the plaster is fixed. My thought could be implemented at any time. Just an idea for down the road maybe. It may not help you right now... unless you got one of those that could hang off the desk. They make those, too.
Oh, cleaning that transom window looked so satisfying 😁
It really was!
It looks great! The window above the door looks SO much better ⭐️⭐️⭐️. Great video, it’s fun seeing the progress.
Thanks so much! 😊
I love the old house. Nice job.
Good morning Shannon 🎉on the road home from NJ, my Dad's funeral, and what a comfort to have a Shannon Makes video to have comfort as we drive 8 hours home to Ohio 😊
I'm happy to be able to keep you company on the journey 🥰
the room looks great , the new and old , even thought it is not staying . You have a area to do planing and working .
Loved the cabinet movement section
Maybe use one of the cushions on the chair to make it more comfortable. If it is too thick, remove some of the stuffing or get/make a pillow form to go inside. My sewing chair always has a cushion otherwise my sore butt dictates less quilting time.
The 1st rug does give the room nice color. You will enjoy it more in that room. You're a lot like me. Color is fun!
I love how Victorian vibes are the go-to spooky vibes. (Seriously!) 😊
Right?!
I love what you and Phil are doing with your house! So many times I wish it was real time though, I have so many suggestions! Like, my daughter has a Matrix that's currently off the road (I don't know why) that she plans to sell. (She lives fairly close to you, I believe.) Also, I work at Home Hardware and just a few days ago I sold paint to a customer that was repainting some vintage radiators. He bought them from someone on the French Shore who may have more to sell. Anyway, you filmed the latest vids last summer, I think, so this probably isn't of any use to you now. Ah well. Happy restoring! Love your channels!
I love what you did with the room, I would change one thing. Maybe put the mirror on the record cabinet with the light in front of it. This will reflect and disperse the light. Also, might protect the mirror from damage on the floor. Overall great choices!
Well if you find yourself in a similar room, I highly encourage you to put your mirror wherever you see fit! 🥳
The record cabinet seems like a perfect spot to do the charging inside the top! That way your cords are hidden. But I understand that you can't put any decorations on top then.
Yes, exactly
The felt furniture pads are awesome for moving furniture across wood floors. I mean the kind you leave on the legs.
I've never found them nearly as effective at not scratching floors as several layers of towels (when completely rearranging items across rooms, I mean)
Great job! You've really chosen the "right" path (IMO) with an old house - spruce up where you can, and do full renovations room-by-room, as time permits.
That's the plan!
Looks great! I'm so glad you've made yourself a safe and clean space to work.
Thank you!
Your office turned out beautiful!! What a genius idea taping that box, so the scrapings didn't get all over the floor. Thanks for another enjoyable video! On to channel two!! Have a wonderful week!
Thanks so much!
For moving furniture solo, I recommend investing in a set of furniture sliders. They are cheap and allow you to slide on hard wood or carpet without damage. Even with 2 people, sliders make moving larger pieces easy. And I love the new room!
thank you, but towels are free and plentiful and work excellently... have used them all my life to move furniture!!
"Inject Coziness" 😂 You WILL be cozy or else!!!😂🤣😂😇💜🧡💜🧡💜🧡💜🧡
🤣🤣💉
😂😂 glad you mentioned the lamp shade 😂😂 I was yelling nooo at the screen but knew there was a reason why you chucked it., I thought weld damage. Watching a prior video about fabric scraps I wondered if you had a P.O. Box and you answered that as well! Are you reading our minds!?😂😂😂
That's such a cute room, love the shape of it, the quirky nooks and closet. Love that lamp, score!
Thanks so much! That lamp was the antique FB marketplace score from much earlier in the series!
@@ShannonMakes - I've watched every video, love watching old houses be brought back to life.
I love the way you decorated that room it looks perfect that's how I decorate whatever is around it makes it so cozy take care
Thank you!! Use what you have as much as possible, right?!
Don’t know if anyone made this suggestion for a charging station so here is mine. A basket or a box that you can hide everything inside. A hole in the bottom or back for the plug of a power bar and then everything fits inside and is hidden. Maybe even that telephone box you found in the attic could be modified to hold everything. Or if you find a box or basket with a lid you could stack your books on top so the items on the record cabinet are at different heights. The room looks great. Love the huge windows and all the light.
I would love to see that narrow little window done in a leaded glass pattern. More like art than a window, still full of light.
Sometimes you can find a match at Rosie's or Secondhand rose vintage wallpaper or other vintage wallpaper stores to find the year and even replacements. Or use google lens. I found a baseball pattern we had in our den in the 1950's at Secondhand Rose.
Good tip!
What a gorgeous room. You have a great eye Shannon.
I love that you did a make over with a small budget and without having to strip the room back and start from scratch! Love the look!
thank you! I had so much fun! 🥰
Sending positive vibes for the car
Thank you! 🤗
I love the room, just need a cozy old chair.
Not room, unfortunately… it’s a narrow space
I am crossing my fingers that you end up with a Mini Van! I hauled a boat and a camp trailer with my Honda and it was bang on reliable and there are tons of those in the used car market. You can even pull the seats out and camp in it. Was the most practical vehicle I’ve ever owned.
Just not great for driving 12 hours cross-country nor for trying to find precious and tiny parking spots on the streets of Montreal 😉🥰
That came out so nice !! I love the Nautical wallpaper !! Can't wait to see the room maybe 1 side the Nautical and the other side the one underneath it , that wud look cool !! Nice desk !!
Soo many layers of interesting wallpaper! I’d be half tempted to randomly rip off the layers so all the designs are semi- visible the put a clear matte lacquer on top. Could make an interesting distressed feel. (Could also look like a horrendous mess, but could be fun finding out! 🤣) that pirate map wallpaper looks really cool.
It’s such a beautiful airy space, and the light levels are perfect! And I definitely think you made the right choice with the rug. It makes the space seem so much more welcoming.
Thank you! I'm very much enjoying it!
@@ShannonMakes I can tell from your video! I’m glad it’s going well
I have that exact standing/sitting desk in my home office and I love it. It goes up and down slowly so that nothing gets knocked over and it had quite a range of positions for shorter people (like me) or taller people. Great choice Shannon, I’ll bet you love it.
Yes!! It's very useful!
I accidentally stumbled across an excellent way to watch this: I got really tired and fell asleep about the time you were talking about your car options and when I woke up RUclips had the second channel video up on my recommendations. I watched that whole video then came back here for the reveal, so it felt very natural and informative ❤
LOL that sure is a fun way to watch it!
I LOVE that floral pillow!! Good score!
I walked by it about 4 times before I committed to picking it up 🤣
@@ShannonMakes hahaha I guess seeing it near the rug was an OMG THEY GO TOGETHER moment for me. But then I saw them together and not in a thrift store…
Aw..😍don't know where to start, i love this, everything!! I used an old, broken bedframe, like yours in the garden, to grow cucumbers, tomatoes would also work. Have a beautiful weekend❤
Thank you, you too!
❤
