    Hi Tia. I just want to say, prior to any disappointment later with your beautiful maple floors, the aged patina on top of them will go all the way through them due to the porous nature of wood.
    You will never achieve that lively golden tone once you apply your finish. It will darken .
    It is best to apply a lightener/conditioner first , perhaps a slight toner to even out the colour and then apply a finish.
    I think that your $1. home is just lovely, and I am always pleased when your vision gets played through like your bathroom, for example.

    Since the laundry area will be covered by a machine, why not remove the wood from there and replace the square in the living/dining area. May like it now, but once coated will be even darker and stand out more.

    Definitely prefer the white ceiling tiles. The dark ones would make that room feel like a cave. I know you said last week that you like low light, etc, but I would manage that with dimmable bulbs and curtains. That will allow you to brighten up the room at-will. The dark tiles would just make the room feel permanently dark.

But make sure that you're around for support when those white tiles turn yellow and you can see the cracks that will develop from temperature changes and cooking and dust, smoke and such. She uses white and in five years she's going to regret it.

    Suggestion - get some frosted window cling film for your bathroom windows. You just cut it to fit, spray the window with water then apply the film. If you change your mind later, you just peel it off. No glue/adhesive. You still get the light but nobody can see in. 👍 The place is really coming together!

    If the floor boards in the laundry closet are maple, then you could switch it with the square repair section boards in the living room to match.
    You can also pull some of the longer boards from random spots in the living room and use those to fill in the repair square. Replace the missing longer board areas with a couple of the smaller boards from the laundry area or with boards from around the repair square. This will really help to blend the spot in.

  • @lynelalonde2827

    I recommend putting in a floor drain and tiles where your washer will be for three reasons. 1. It’s required by some building codes when a washer is not in a basement. 2. If your washer ever overflows it won’t damage the floor because the water just goes down the drain. 3. If you want to clean under the washer, you just use a hose and wash it all down. If you plan to use a hose, do 1-2 rows of tiles on the wall. Under the tile do a water proofing membrane like the ones under a shower. Hardware stores can show you what I mean.

    I’m in the HVAC business, you need to install return air duct even if it is just one large register upstairs on the main floor otherwise the only air you are exchanging is in the basement.

He is building a window seat with three front divisions on the face of the box. He'll put screens on the bottoms for the return. Hidden but beautiful and useful. Perhaps you could do that in your LR.

      The house has open vents in the floor already. They are larger than the ducted heat vents. One in the living room in front of the "T" wall (left side), in the master closet, beside the chimney in the dining room and beside the laundry area in the studio. Not sure about the kitchen and bathroom.

    Tia, I was so amazed at how beautiful those floors turned out. Man, you'd never know those floors were in a 100 year old house. You and your Dad have done such an amazing job in this little house. You're going to feel so darned good when you finally get to move in and start enjoying the work that you've done. You'll want to stay in this little place for many years, I have no doubt. Ya know, I was thinking while watching this video, I don't know if you have friends or family that might want to stay a weekend or something with you at some point, but my thought was, I know your art room is basically intended for your art, but would there be someway you could incorporate a bed somehow so that they'd have a place to sleep. Like convert something that you can use for everyday in there, but it can be transformed into a guest bed IF you needed it? All the trim work is also looking amazing, I can't stop staring at it. And once you have it all decorated the way YOU want, it's going to look amazing! As I read in another comment, I have never been so proud of someone I've never met before. That's exactly right! You're an inspiration to so many. Keep up the great work, the rewards at the end will be so worth it!

    Being an artist and refurbisher also, I have a suggestion for the floor patch. It WILL bother you in time because it's not centered between the "T" and color variation could be dramatic. Throw rug a simple solution, but rather than hide it, how about making it special using the wood already present? Map out a squashed diamond pattern (side to side) on the floor and center of "T" opening (and encompassing the oak square), then cut and remove ALL the pieces inside your shape. Reassemble those pieces BACK into the floor, weaving the oak and maple together. You'd basically be creating a diamond-shaped "inlay" into your floor, marrying the two different woods for a beautiful transition from one room into the other. Square shape or starburst would work as well. You get the idea, I think?

    In the last video, you were talking about white grout for between those terra cotta colored tiles. I don't think that is the way to go. First of all, that would make for a very busy, broken up, pattern in there. And a darker, matching color would make more of a cohesive look. Just my opinion.

    I just finished our hardwood floors with Bona Nordic seal. It gave them a very light whitewash look that still shows all the wood grain. We then sealed it with the Boan Commercial seal. They are gorgeous!! I love that they kept the freshly sanded wood look without yellowing. And a bonus, it was water-based and dried quickly and did not stink up the house. I used the matte finish. They are beautiful!!!

    For the clear coat on the floor, Benjamin Moore has a poly that’s called Stays Clear -it really does! All other poly’s get yellow. I wish I had used Stays Clear on my white Oak floors. They were so beautiful right after we sanded them

    Yes, you are a blessed young lady to have your dad by your side. I have a dad but it’s like I don’t have one. It’s the saying you can’t miss what you never had and that’s how I feel about about the man so the ones that have fathers and that are true fathers, you are genuine blessed I love women that conquer projects or anything without a man or anyone I would say that because it’s a young lady that I watch her name is XO Mccanne she bought a house in Texas and renovated the whole entire house just like you’re doing right now. The frames of the house was great so she just did everything else and her dad helped her and her mother helped her also but I love to see this when young ladies❤😊🙏🏽

    I think a round table would look great in your dining room. It will break up the space and separate it from being just an extension of the living room. I rectangular table will just make the main house a long room instead of 3 separate rooms. The living room will look special, the dining room will have some nice character which I know you like, and then the cosy kitchen. You have the matching colors and ceilings tiles in the living room and dining room. Braking the rooms up with a round table will trick your eye into believing the rooms are a bit larger too. It won’t take away from the coziness, it will make it look even more special

    • @bellas1397
      @bellas1397 6 дней назад +2

      Both are beautiful but I thought the simplicity of the design on the white ones, given the size of the space would be more proportional to the room. I was thinking the bronze ones may create a bit more of a closed in feeling.

    Hi Tia, I watched your video as I have since the regaining , you said you loved that square in your floor where they patched the floor ! I had a very similar situation my mother was a painter so. She painted a large square patch like a beautiful rug with tassel’s on the edges then when they came and put the shiny cote on the floor it looked so beautiful ! This beautiful throw rug. Everyone that came over loved the painted rug!

    Every sunday around 5 pm i watch your video. It is a kind of prelude to our dinner. My husband and I discusses the way you do the house, and there is a lot i like very much. Especially the trims around the windows and doors. I admire that you sand down your floor instead of putting new one in. That you want to bring back the originally housee. We ourselves had a house we renovated, so we know the hard work. I am from Denmark and I love to see differences in the way we have build our houses😂. You will not see a house build in timber like yours in Denmark. Not even an old one. And we have very stricts codes as to building and renovating. I cant wait to ne t week and a big hug from Denmark😊

    I hope you think about what I'm about to suggest, I hope you think about one of those kits for your tube, those shower curtains that completely encircle your tub, they hang from the ceiling, reason I say this, if you take a bath but use your hand hose to say rinse your hair, you could accidently have overspray hit your wall and window sill...since your tub is soooo close to that wall having a curtain at least around by the wall can protect it from overspray...besides those kits are so beautiful and really finish off the look of the tub...you can get it in chrome to go with your tub and faucet....but you probably already thought about it to finish off the look of your tub anyway...a plain clear plastic liner curtain can work and not take up visual space, but a white cloth over curtain can look pretty too...but you can really go to town with the shower curtain....

    Tia, while you have the chance, think about installing a small electric or gas fireplace in the wall between the front room and the bedroom so that you can see it in either room. Now would be the time to do it while you still have the electrician and gas guys coming back. One of the long narrow ones would be so nice, especially if you frame it with the same craftsman trim you used on the windows and doorframes! 😎😎🏡🏡❤❤

    LOVE the way the floors and trim all turned out! Our little 1916 home has the same trim and floors, but I think our old floors are pine. Not worth as much as other hardwood, but still so pretty. Seeing what you do here really gives me good ideas for our place. Also, when we renovated five years ago we had several stained glass pieces added like you're talking about for the living room, and let me tell you it is so worth it! The light through those windows never fails to lift my spirits.

It won't hurt anything by doing it. It will elevate and make it such a sophisticated and warm space by doing it !!! After the transition that you'll have from coming through that AMAZING "T" that you're creating ... OH MY GOODNESS ... It would be SO beautiful together !!!

    Just an idea. When you finally get to hanging the ceiling panels. Take the time to start in the very center of the ceiling and see how those panels fall into every corner first. That way if you see you can adjust your starting point to make it look better, you can at that time. Otherwise you could end up with a small sliver in the corners and look not so well... Thumbs Up!

  • @lindaroyal8161
    @lindaroyal8161 5 дней назад

    Ceiling Tiles - I also vote for the white, will make the rooms lighter, better for plants.
    SUGGESTION - The bronze ceiling tiles - why not use those for the small ceiling area in the laundry room. You can use left over paint from the bathroom for the walls. I think it would look good.
    Bathroom vanity - I was hoping you would go with a pedestal sink in keeping with the Victorian Design - take up less floor space.
    Wood Floors - They sanded up beautifully - surprising being as old as they are and all the wear & tear they've had through the years being a storage house; stuff scraped and pushed around on them. They're going to look so good.
    Suggestion - Satin Finish Poly shows less of the scratches, wear & tear than gloss finishes. I've had both in different houses and Satin hold up so much better.
    LOVE the archway area - it looks so good framed out with the same trim. I really like your idea of the stained glass in the corners and 3-D plaster texture. It would also look good to have stained glass in the upper section of the Dining Room Window.
    The "T" Section is pretty cool and so connected to you, 1st initial of your name - The house was calling you to save it!
    Since the T is the 1st thing you see when entering and the square on the floor the 2nd noticeable thing, might be the name for your house - "T Square Cottage". Just a thought.
    The Bricks for the chimney are pretty cool, more texture and another focal point, very nice!
    I do like how you choose, to make one long trim for over the door and front window vs 2 separate ones, it looks good.
