A bonus to see all the family & your Mom in this video. Some degree of chaos when you have kids is real life, for sure. Glad you didn't edit that out--it made me smile! As a mom of three (now grown), I can totally relate.
Love the makeover on the fireplace. That dress you are wearing certainly flatters you.
Oh thank you!
Absolutely love it your husband did amazing love the colour ! I have mainly plaster walls also some pictures behind them are mine holes lol.I really like how you split the room it’s funny as your kids get older the changes you can make and have spaces of your own ! Your mom so helpful great to see her smile 😃 what a fantastic transformation ❤️
Thanks so much! 😊
Yep, buffet change was a good switch! A rug would pull it together😃
This was really neat to watch every step of the process , very helpful ! And it turned out so pretty and cozy ! 🌿❤️
Thanks so much! 😊
Your fireplace looks so much better! Well done! Also, the colors in the dress you had on looks so pretty with your complexion.
Oh thank you!
Great transformation. We are planning to built a fireplace but sometime in the spring/summer
I love the new look! It’s beautiful and so cozy!
That style/color dress suits you beautifully!
Oh thank you!
Such a great transformation! It's cozy but not cluttered. Your color choices are spot on. Love seeing your Mom.
We have that same lamp in our home! We have had it for years😃
I love it and was so excited to find such a great deal.
The fireplace and room changes look lovely!!! I also love your dress, it is giving off nifty 1960’s vibes!!!
I love seeing your three boys as I had three boys too and it takes me back.
It looks wonderful and very cozy 😊
It looks wonderful! Putting your feet up on an ottoman is the best feeling in a cozy space.
You look so good in that dress, you are a good working team❤
Thank you so much!
Love your retro dress!
Thank you!!
The fireplace and sitting area turned out so nice! Great job to Grant on the mantle 👌🏻 And may I add…your brown dress you wear at the end is lovely!! 🥰 Gives some vintage vibes and it is so cute!!!
Looks beautiful!!!!❤️
I’ve been wanting to re-do my fireplace....love how yours turned out! TYFS! New subbie here...Michigan ❤️🦋💜
Classy, cozy, lovely!
So pretty. Every thing makes sense
I just love it! I raised three sons & I remember the occasional chaos! 😅 Its SO fun to watch & remember. Your taste is lovely.
Oh thank you! It is down right crazy here 90% of the time LOL.
It looks beautiful!!! Lovely transformation. Yes!! We love to have your mom in your videos. It’s so nice to see little Levi following you everywhere.Shanon you look lovely in this 👗
Yes, it really suits her.
It’s looks amazing, Shannon.
I appreciate your simple and clean style.
The ottoman looks great- just a splash of color and really brings out the bit of orange in Grant’s driftwood painting. Well done 👏🏼
Yes, we LOVE seeing your mom in the videos🫶🏼
Thank you! I thought the same thing about the orange, it's kinda fun to have a pop of color.
I agree...I loved the orange ottoman/table - just a small color pop but really looked great.
I thought the fireplace colour looked similar to the background of Grant’s painting. It looks fab. Cosy and ready for winter!😊
Fireplace looks great your husband did a great job always great to see your mom
I really appreciate seeing these projects done in real life--as in, with life going on at the same time. I much prefer this to project videos I see elsewhere that make it seem as if everything goes smoothly and perfectly on the first go 'round. The space you created here does feel cozy and comfortable, and lovely.
Thank you! Oh yes these projects always take time and our house is a complete disaster as they are getting done LOL. But it's always worth it in the end. =)
Same
The fireplace looks so much nicer in the darker color and with the mantle. The new lampshade was totally worth it too.
Shannon, you and Grant are very talented in so many skills -- and very brave!
So, so, so much better!! Amazing transformation! And absolutely love your mom!
Thank you so much!!
So pretty. I love the paint color.❤
Thank you! 😊
looks great !!!
Another fantastic job and transformation. Have you thought about painting the sideboard the same color as the fireplace? I agree that the 3 paintings now need to be redone in warmer colors.
Jaime beaucoup cette nouvelle ambiance, et l'imprimé de votre robe est magnifique et elegant avec le col ❤👋
I love how everything turned out! 🎉 It’s awesome to see you and your husband working together and your mom pitching in to help too. I enjoy hearing your decision making process. I have a lampshade that needs washing or replacing. Thank you for the motivation to do something about it! ❤ Enjoy your beautiful space!
Shannon, It looks great. Levi has really grown. As usual, it’s always great to see your mom. Is your husband a builder? He is really great. Also he is keeping you safe with the safety equipment.
Love it Shannon! I love that you are adding pops of color around your home & everything isn't white as a minimalist!
Thanks so much! 😊
As a designer, I would put a larger console/sofa table under the wall art. In the video it looks to small, not long enough. One that is longer would elevate your space. Love what you’re doing with the room! Love your colors choices! Love the lamp and new lamp shade! Looks perfect! 🙌❤️
I love the dress you have in this video, you look so pretty in it 😍😍
Looks beautiful. Enjoy.
Shannon, First of all...I love your dress. It looks vintage. The fireplace looks awesome. That color really warmed up that area. Always great seeing your Mom. 😊
You’re mom is a real treasure.🥰❤️🙏
Really nice changes. Certainly adding a comfortable homey element.
I agree with the other comments and I just want to add that your dress is so nice on you. ❤😊
Oh thank you!
Shannon, it’s gorgeous👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I was hoping you would warm that room this year but you and Grant and your sweet mom have been non stop working in the yard and decluttering etc, I really thought 2024 would be the year for the fireplace BUT you surprised us you tricky girl lol😉
Your homes Equity has exploded since 2019, May you all spend years loving and enjoying the home you’ve worked so hard on❤
Thank you! Happy to have you here and I hope you have a nice weekend. =)
I love it. Just beautiful. I'm trying to see where the dining room table is?
It looks really great Shannon! Your boys are so cute!
Wow! That is a transformation. It looks so welcoming and peaceful.
Love the safety gear.
❤
Hey Shannon, this space turned out amazing!! How nice to have a carpenter husband! I painted out fireplace last spring and painting stones is such a tedious process! You are right - projects like these take quite a while but it's usually worth it in the end! Thanks for sharing! 💗
Oh my goodness Shannon I love it❤
That looks so pretty and inviting. The new lampshade is just right.
Hello Shannon, It looks really nice ! It makes the room look real homely . 🤩🤗
Love it! You and your mom are an awesome duo! Your husband is great too!
You two make a great team! Love the transformation!❤🎉
It looks so good!
Nice!
It looks so good!
Love the chairs and mantel. The color and scale of the lampshade is perfect!
Enjoy your new space. ❤️
BTW, love your vintage style dress!
Thank you! I hope you are doing well.
Love what youve done with your space🤗 Looks so cosy and inviting. Love watching you and your Mum doing things together, there is so much laughter, love and sense of humour🤩
Hi Shannon. Your project turned out beautifully. The gray color of the brick and the wood mantel warm up the space. Also, I love the dress you are wearing in this video!
Thank you so much!
Looks Great
Mama and the boys great helpers fireplace looks beautiful u and your husband did a fabulous job congratulations ❤️
It looks so cozy & cute now. 🙂
It turned out great!!!
Wow! I love it!!! Great job!
Good morning Shannon , your fireplace space turned out so beautiful. Everything came together perfect . Grant has great skills. Hi to your mom 😀, you look so beautiful in that dress . Great video like always 👍
This is a wonderful transformation! You now have a cozy area to enjoy the fireplace. Love the work Grant did on the mantle.
Thanks so much! 😊
Looks so great, I love it! I'm chuckling about the box fort as I stare at a washing machine box my 10 year old has personalized! :-) It really is the simple things in life that end up mattering most!
Shannon the fireplace transformation just warms up the room! Love seeing your mom! Your dress is beautiful you look great in it.
Such a cosy space! It looks gorgeous. Even your Mums little ottoman gives a nice pop of colour.
Looks great! It is amazing how little changes and moving things around can transform a space. Once you get the rug, it will feel even cozier.
That looks incredible. I appreciate that you make it seem "do-able" and that perhaps we could all try a project like this.
You can do it!
Love it! The fireplace color really warms up the space.
Wow, beautiful!
Yes, it's a nice area, very cozy. I like the mantle, it will look good decorated for Christmas.
Hi Shannon ❤ I too absolutely love how this turned out - Nice seeing you all. Enjoy your new cosy space ❤
Thanks so much! 😊
Looks beautiful….great color 😊❤️
Safety First! 🦺🥽😷 It makes such a difference to get the paint colour just right, and you did! Love your new reading nook. (I'd put a rocking chair there myself, maybe the boys are too young for that?)
It looks great!
Fantastic transformation Shannon!! Love the colour you chose for the brick. Always enjoy your DIY Renos. You guys work great together on them. And always love seeing your mom. 😊
Thanks so much! 😊
A stunning, refreshing upgrade. Congratulations on a job well done on your beautiful space!
Thanks so much! 😊
Shannon, terrific transformation. Love the color of the fireplace. Grant designed and built a very nice mantle for this area.
Nice new sitting chairs.
The dining table is great where it is now.
"Hi", to your Mom.
Cheers
Looks great Shannon! I love the colour! I personally don’t like to put lamps in front of pictures, I think that’s because my grandmother scared me when I was younger that they could catch fire!!!! Funny how these things stay with you!!!! Great job, I love overall design xxx
The mantle looks so good. Love the chairs & how the area looks so cozy!
Thanks so much! 😊
Love how it turned out! The color is really soothing
You nailed it. Such a warm and inviting room. My son built a mantle like that in his house and it adds a lovely. depth to the room. Nice to have handy people around
Looks wonderful! ❤
Love it. Thnk a round rug and round Ottoman/coffee table might look nice but whatever you do always looks great.🌻
So nice I love the changes
So pretty!
I like the paint colour you ended up going with.
You guys did a great job on that area.
I am sure you are going to have a lot of kid books read in those chairs.
Real nice, Shannon and Grant.
Thank you! Yes we love to read with the kids =)
Looks great, paint the white bottom.
Looks fantastic! Really like the ottoman your mom brought over, adds a pop of color and brings out the flowers on the bottom driftwood art. Also seeing the 3 piece artwork in the mirror reflection you can see how nice it coordinates with the art next to the fireplace.
Gorgeous!❤️
I love it! So cozy!
That is so beautiful! My daughter has a large fireplace and found the perfect chairs for in front of it. They are round overstuffed low back swivel chairs.? You can face any direction of the room! I love them!
I love it!!!
I love it! So cozy! And you look so glamorous in that dress 😍
Thank you so much!!
I love the reading area and the fireplace.
Really looks nice and warm feeling. What about exchanging the cool blue artwork for ones with warmer or more neutral tones? Also maybe a paler tone that’s on the fireplace for the walls. This is so much fun that I find myself wanting to help and suggest things to do. But in the end, you do you……of course.
It's funny because I was telling my husband maybe we should paint the walls around the fireplace too LOL. One thing leads to another. =)
Just beautiful!
