I’m a retired I Interior Designer and we would use spray silicone on drapery rods which made them slide much easier.
Okay we sprayed and it works…. Thanks for the tip.
@@justsaying8763 just the tip?
Fantastic tip, thank you.
@@elizabethroessner8487 just the tip
I've rubbed down with wax paper it works too.
Natalee, My gracious you look really healthy and are glowing! Keep up the great things you’re doing for your health because, viewers love YOU!
You are a blessing to everyone who watches you. May God continue to bless you and your family.
While I love to live vicariously through you with this home, I miss your craft DIYs. Especially your knock out DT crafts every once in a blue.
I agree! But this is usually what happens when influencers get bigger. It becomes more about what they can buy and do with money for themselves to show how successful they are. It’s not a bad thing, it’s just sad when the whole thing u loved about their channel gets lost and forgotten.
Yeah, I'm really missing farmhouse, shabby chic, and word art projects too. Would you like to buy some essential oils?
@@kelleyhawk6595while that might be true for some I don’t get that vibe from this channel….her and her family literally just bought their dream home and moved during Christmas so for 1. She’s excited 2. Her Channel is about diys so she’s literally showing diys she’s wanting to do in her home and showing us ways we can elevate our space..her Chanel has always been about giving expensive looking diys on a budget and that’s literally what this is about. 3. I’m sure with Christmas just passing and just moving into their new home she’s super busy and wanting to get their forever home how they want it so I’m sure anyone in her shoes would prioritize that over making dollar tree DIYs right now….but I’m sure those will be coming again but I’m sure right now it’s going to be about DIYs and stuff she’s doing on her house and showing us how to do it on a budget which I love and 4. People’s preferences change (not saying this about her specifically) but in general people’s preferences and styles change with time …I use to be all about farmhouse and signs with words everywhere but now I’m not a huge fan of a ton of signs with words and like more of a modern farmhouse with using a mix of antiques and the simplicity of modern/Scandinavian I guess just a less busy & overly farmhouse and a mix of a few styles …and a lot of people tend to like different styles and be into different things ..I feel like a lot of content creators naturally change over time with what they like and the style of DIYs they do and that’s totally ok….sorry i wrote a novel in the comments and hope I didn’t come off preachy haha Idk I just felt the need to share with u something maybe u didn’t think about and throw out a different perspective
@@starveartist I still love farmhouse but more of an update farmhouse with less word signs and more antique farmhouse decor but in a clean and a less is more way…I feel like 90% of the DIYs on RUclips are all of the things u listed I’m kind of excited about some newer things …but I def would still pick farmhouse shabby chic over the glam style DIYs 🙈 the ones with fake crystals and mirrors and super shiny silver and gold is prob my least fav style and I feel like that’s what a lot of the other diy channels are on here that aren’t super farmhouse or super modern
@@StephanieSprinkle-tiredboymom
Agreed!! She did mention and show her craft room chaos and needs to get the basics of her home situated! Definitely a must!!
I'm in the same process by myself (now) kiddo my helper is 1300 miles away and works FT+ with college is out of the question but had been very helpful in working in 2 rooms with me.
😂After doing the first room had enough confidence to install engineer flooring all by myself after together we did a very difficult room with thick hardwood engineered flooring!
I Can't wait to see what projects she has coming!!
I might be in the minority, but doing laundry is by far my FAVORITE household chore!! I love the clean smell as I'm folding it, and like your mom, I find it relaxing to do while I'm watching something on TV.
I love a clean bathroom, but that is definitely my LEAST favorite room to clean.
Your new home is so beautiful and I can't wait to see how you transform it!! These videos are fun, but I really love your DIY craft videos, too!
Thanks for sharing your ideas and projects!! ❤
Please let some of that laundry love wear off on me! 🙏💕
I appreciate the desire to hurry and change things, but admire you for sitting with it and not rushing the changes.
Agree I dislike vertical blinds too - very 80’s plus office looking.
YOU CAN MAKE THAT STONE FIREPLACE MANTLE !!!… I KNOW YOU CAN…A LITTLE CHALLENGING BUT YOU GOT THAT !!!!
KAREN FROM FLORIDA 🌴💕
YOUR NEW HOME IS GORGEOUS !!
Yes Natalee can do this, stone looking concrete and colorant in the cement or paint after installing. It doesn't go with our home or style, but her house is SCREAMING for this in the tall ceiling room where a fireplace is needed for appearance sake anyway in Florida! We are in North Carolina, we have 4 fireplaces, family room, master bedroom, bonus room/play room/ library/ my female space, lol and 1 on the sunroom. Love a fireplace, all them are different and unique, 1 we half did it, the flagstone was already there, then the other 2 we part of theater ourselves, but did all of the bobuscroom ourselves and hired out for the stone work, but built the fireplace in the sunroom. This one was the most expensive one! The stone and it was kind of big too plus we added a built in on o e fide, the other side was a window.
We have 6 grandkids. For 6 years I took care of one granddaughter and 18 months later, we were blessed with another grandson! I took care of the babies, cleaned house and did All Of the laundry. I LOVED IT! It's cathartic, brings order to chaos, I loved all of the little, tiny clothes. I love it! In fact, 6 years later, I'm helping them with housework and laundry once again. It would be so nice to have a beautiful space to do laundry in! I wish our home had one, too! My husband tried putting in cupboards with counter tops. To be honest, the flooring looks terrible. The drywall job looks terrible. The paint on the drywall looks terrible. I can't tell him this as I don't want to hurt his feelings! I think it should all be torn out and start all over! He just retired, so we have the time to change it now. Keeping my fingers crossed that I can talk him into trying it again! And praying that the outcome is much better than attempt #1!🫢🤭🤫🤔🤐🤨😬
After 11 years of granite in my kitchen i changed it for a marble quartz. It looks amazing. I love the idea of built-ins!! Can't wait to go along your remodel journey.
Yes! Yes please! Laundry room makeover.
I like laundry when it’s all put away and the baskets are empty. Great ideas!
I think that frosted glass doors on your pantry would look nice .
I was going to say the same thing I saw another channel use frosted glass and has the word "pantry" on it I thought it was beautiful!
I think it was my diy wife...not positive!
If the pantry doors would match the design and color of the cabinets, if would pull the kitchen together. The laundry room with built in cabinets, pretty curtains, and a chandelier! So glad you are planning on repainting.
My daughters house came with black granite, she didn’t like it at all, so she changed it out, and kept the old granite for a future outdoor kitchen.
I would remove that step up on the kitchen island . We did ours it it’s sooo much more practical. Also quartzite is a beautiful durable option for counters that’s as durable as granite , heat resistant and stain resistant. Can’t wait to see all your re-dos !
I highly recommend quartz counters. I got mine two years ago during our remodel. It is carefree and everyone comments on it.😍
Our house had a touchless faucet when we moved in. At first it was fun and novel, but then the sensor stopped working (which Ferguson told me is common) and it wouldn't turn on at all -- you had to tap it 20 times for it to finally turn on or off. I replaced it with a regular faucet about 2 years ago don't miss it at all. Your videos are SO FUN and nicely done! Thank you for your Can-Do Spiriit!!
I’m in love with your fandelier.
Yes to the stone mantel!! I love it too, so if you decide to do it…..I’m in!
I am in love with cement countertops. Stained cement with brick floors in the kitchen. I love that French country look❤❤❤
So cool!
@@designedtotheninesyou could do marble-look epoxy
I would be afraid plates and glasses would break every time I would place them down 😂
@@Hey_its_just_me_to 🤣 nope surprisingly they function like any other countertop lol
I live in Paraguay and cement countertops are common. If we’ll sealed, they look great and are easily maintained.😊
Anxiously awaiting your future closet mirror video! We have the same mirrored doors and I would love to see how the grids change the look!
I am fairly new to your channel but love your videos, talent, creativity, taste, and style! We are a lot alike in all of those ways..it makes me wish I could just sit down with you and we could share tons of ideas. Our family of 5 lost our forever home on 1/7/21 to a house fire…thank the good Lord we all, including pets, made it out safe. (Our cat did have to be rescued and after a firefighter busted out my son’s upstairs bedroom window he jumped out…paws, tail, ears burned, whiskers singed) did have to spend the night at the animal hospital but he recovered very well!). We spent the next year and a half divided into two campers on our property while we rebuilt our home. I’ll just say it’s been tremendously overwhelming! We moved in before a few things were complete because being stuffed into those campers was a nightmare! Our home is everything we could want and then some..but would be better if we could tie up several loose ends….which brings me to think about the seating you’re loving for your breakfast nook. Don’t get me wrong..I completely understand when you’re in love with and dead set on an idea…and if you do it, you may love it! I know that’s the seating we had in one of the campers..and yes, space was extremely limited…but never the less…extremely not functional at all! I am with you on a round table…I think they’re more personal..especially for a breakfast nook. I’ve always had a round table..we have an oval now because with kids getting older and meeting significant others…needing more space to sit. Your fireplace in the living room/great room is tall like mine. I chose a very timeless large stone that has hues of very light grays, pale tans, and off whites…and a brick veneer accent. Maybe in the recessed areas of yours, brick veneers would look beautiful and timeless! When I saw your back porch area and your fireplace idea, I immediately thought of a built-in (like you’re talking about, floor to ceiling)…but instead of corner, what about the kind that has not only the glass front, but the glass side..it would give almost a wrap around/see through kind of appearance. Also, I have a Kohler touchless faucet in my kitchen and in my laundry room which is right off my bedroom/closet and the garage. I will say that’s one of the best investments in this house with messy hands for whatever reason…very nice and convenient! I’m like you and am in love with animal print. I have touches of it all through most of my house. I haven’t finished decorating my downstairs 1/2 bath yet but I have things bought to finish it. On the wall with the sink, I have bought a blackish/gray crocodile print wallpaper (that is textured) that we ordered from Home Depot. I can’t wait to see it and the sconce lights and everything finished. But that would be beautiful in your laundry room too on an accent wall..and maybe some shiplap. I love shiplap and I think it’s way too stereotyped to the “farmhouse” look. To me it can be combined with several different looks…I personally love and go between French country and British tropical Colonial …which brings in the animal prints and plants. I have two Birds of Paradise (they would look beautiful in your home too) and two palm plants on either side of my fireplace in tall
Planters). Sorry this was so long..I know your home will be beautiful! I can’t wait to see what you do😍
Love the animal print…it never goes out of style. Go for it in my opinion
Soooo happy for you! You're new home is stunning! I cannot wait to see how you work your magic on it! You are SO talented girl, it just amazes me! 😁
Thank you so much!!
@@designedtothenines There are companies that take moulds of the cast stone fireplaces and cast them in an extremely dense foam with a layer of fireproofing on the surface that cost a fraction of the cost.
@@kelleyhawk6595...That's SUPER COOL information!! Thank you for sharing!
I know if anyone can figure out how to do a concert look fireplace mantel it is YOU!! Your creativity astounds me!! Can’t wait to see what you do in your new house to make it a home!!🥰
Hi Natalee! So excited to watch your latest episode! Wishing you and your family all the best in this new year and new home! ❤❤❤
Thank you! You too!
I love the mirror fix for the bedroom. Great idea!
My family thinks I'm crazy laundry is my favorite thing to do.
Absolutely wonderful video I would appreciate more
I love these kinds of videos. Seeing your ideas are awesome! I love the ideas! You go girl!
You are such a resplendent, radiant person...! So positive too. It's such a pleasure to listent to you and watch your videos. Thanks for sharing you ideas.
Your home is beautiful! I know you have to be so excited to get your projects going. Congratulations 🍾
Your new house is so pretty and cannot wait to see what you come up with for it. So happy for you and your family
I love my drill, I got it this week. Excited to see what I will make with it!
My plumber talked me out a touch less faucet. Said he has had major problems them within the first year after installation. And that has been consensus with other people that I have talked to. As for the laundry room, go for it. It will make a huge difference for your mental state. Make sure you add a hanging area to it besides closed cabinets. I love mine very much and having a surface to fold is wonderful. I can't wait for the rebuilding of the family room fireplace wall. The demo should be fun!
I built my fireplace and then did a lime wash. You can’t go wrong with that! It’s so easy.
One consideration before you install all the molding: caulking it may be tedious, but it's a one time thing. DUSTING, however, needs to be done all the time. Wiping down all the molding all the time is necessary if you want it to look good, and it's sort of a pain. It seems to collect visible dust easily. (We change our furnace filters regularly, too.) Take it from someone who has a lot of white and pale colored walls with molding!
I love your idea of the build in your kitchen nook. That sounds beautiful! And I can't wait to see what you build & create!❤
Maybe you can use your entertainment center in your craft room! Maybe those open slots yo7 could put all of your vinyl, cricut machine, and accessories!🤪❤️
I would love to see your mantle build.❤ I love the window bench idea!❤ I love what you want to do for your pantry doors!❤ What do you think about a large frosted door trimmed out? I think that would be gorgeous!❤ I love, love the idea of putting a pattern runner on the stairs!❤
Oh my goodness, NataLee! 😮 I am so fascinated by your bedroom chandelier! The way the fan blades come out of the top and circulates the air! Amazing! That is just so facinating! I've never seen one of those before!😮 I love it!❤ Thank you for sharing!❤ Yes, NataLee, I love the idea of your guest room French doors painted black with the glass frosted! That will be gorgeous!❤ I definitely would love to see more videos like this one! As always, NataLee, thank you for sharing all of your amazing ideas! Stay safe, healthy, and positive! God bless you and your family! 😊❤️🇺🇸😊
Amazon sells a flexible molding that you can easily bend it into a curve. It is an adhesive backing, but I recommend brad nailing it as well.
The "fandelier" blew mind!!! 💀 as the kids say!! ❤❤❤
I can’t live without my touch less faucet in the Kitchen. Awesome!
I am excited for all this space that you can unleash your creativity on! And we'll get to see it all too! Can't wait! Fellow fan of picture molding 😊
Thank you for sharing your ideas & all the inspo pics! We appreciate you!
Countertops!!!!!!!
We renovated our 1963 home with 1980s upgrades over several years with the intention of selling. Ir was done with a LOT of sweat equity and help from a contractor friend. The countertops in the kitchen were vintage 1963 bright lime green !!!!! We ended up using poured epoxy from Stonecoat Countertops and they were gorgeous looking Carrera marble when we were done….for a fraction of the cost!!!!!! It really was easy…. There’s just a LOT of prep work. Not terrible… just a bit tedious but a must. I’m so glad we did because it can get messy. …. Put plastic bags over your shoes and be sure to put lots of plastic sheeting down AND that rolled paper over the top for a walkway. We are going to do it again in our next home! It really was easy peasy! There are so many wonderful instructional videos out there and on that site. The possibilities are endless… oh, and instead of tiling the backsplash we opted for a slab that we cut and fit beforehand (remember to make it a fraction smaller to fit after pouring epoxy) and glued to the wall. Very sleek and modern! Hope you give it a whirl!
I used nice, thick curtains and would not do vertical blinds cause no matter what I did, it looked tacky. That part faces the east and we live in the south. Those curtains help with the blasting sun and heat in those hot months. We do have windows that have tint in them but the curtains make the difference! No vertical blinds.
Jan -England. I really find your tutorials inspiring. I've reached pension age and have discovered DIY love your DT videos. We have Poundland here. Not as good as DT for stock. looking forward to the laundry make over. I need ideas. I have .my own workshop, full of power tools raring to go. Keep up the good work. We are more powerful than we think x
Love your work!!! putting one child in a guest room while other children are given their own space will affect that child forever. I'd highly recommend making that room her bedroom and letting guests use it with her permission or she will always feel lesser than her siblings--hurried out of the home. Knowing she has a place with you forever is priceless.
I completely agree. I'm Portuguese and for us it's unthinkable to turn a child's room into a guest room. But maybe that's just a cultural aspect.
She has a whole apartment. lol
@shelleysavoy7353 Yes, that is totally accurate. Your room, as a growing child, is how you develop ....in so many ways! Even splitting one room up between three children with bunk beds, would be better than a guest room.; atleast, they all would be equal. In college, my roommates creatively put their mattresses and dressers in ways in which everyone had a private place. Looking back, their room rocked!
The professional flooring designer I worked with recommended carpeted stairs for safety. She said many of her customers who insisted on wood came back for carpet after a family member or a pet had a bad fall. She helped me choose a subtle pattern that blends with the wood floors but has enough contrast to be a visual safety feature. Since this is your forever home, you might look into other “aging in place” features.
Take a look at smart sliding panels to replace the vertical blinds. Functional and beautiful. You can also retrofit curtain rods with smart controllers.
I am the same when it comes to laundry! I dream of having a magically gorgeous laundry room that inspired me to do better in this area! I'm so looking forward to watching & learning from you in this space!!! My vision includes a chandelier & though we've got plans to put in fandeliers throughout or home, I never thought to include the laundry room until now!! Thanks for all you do!
I love every episode uou do❤ Bring it on!
So many great ideas. Thank you!!!!
I love all you’re ideas can’t wait to see the changes in you’re beautiful home.
YES NataLee! Would love to see more videos! Your new home is stunning, and I’m thrilled to be able to watch you as you incorporate new decor!!! ❤
Ohhh so exciting to see all these design ideas! It will be fun watching you diy your new home, love your ideas so far!! 💕💕💕💕
I love your beautiful ideas and can’t wait to witness you doing each.
Touchless faucets are like touchless soap dispensers or paper towel dispensers, which we have in the bathroom at work. They only turn on motion closeup. With the faucet some will run for a certain amount of time; like 15 seconds. Then you need to wave in front of the eye where the motion sensor is again.
My friend has a touchless faucet that I enjoy when I dog sit for her. It sometimes turns on when I don’t want it to and has gotten my sleeves wet but I’m not used to using the touchless feature of the faucet. Handy when your hands are messy!
Thank you. So many beautiful ideas you have for your new home, I’m so excited to follow you through all of them.
I'm sooooo excited for all your upcoming videos. 🎉❤
I am SO glad/relieved you are changing out your kitchen granite!
Such great ideas! I’d love to see more videos like this.
I am So excited to see all the new projects as you beautify and personalize your new home!! ❤❤
This was a great video and the way you styled your home is amazing. GOD BLESS 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💖🥰💯💫
I absolutely love your animal print idea on your staircase. 100% agree. Axis deer is my favorite. Love your channel..
NataLee, your new home is going to be fabulous when you get done with it... it's pretty gorgeous even as is! You have great ideas, and I am excited to watch along as your make changes to your beautiful forever home.
You asked about the touchless faucets. I have one in my kitchen and I love it. When you are cooking and have ick all over your hands, there's no need to touch the handles. Don't worry about it accidentally getting turned on and flooding your kitchen or wasting too much water. After a certain period of time (I have never actually timed it), it will automatically turn off. My kitty likes to sit up in the window sill and look outside. She swishes her tail in front of the faucet and turns the water on. I usually hear it and turn it off, but I know that if she did it when we were not home, the water would automatically shut off. I guess whoever designed them never factored in cats living in the home! LOL!
Loved the video and all of the ideas!! Keep them coming. Enjoyed. Louise
I just love watching your designs be created!❤ you are so creative and talented!!!
I'm loving your ideas!!!
I love all your idea’s for your new home. It is going to be gorgeous when you finish . Looking forward to your video’s to come. ❤️
You are so amazing and so are your ideas.
I love your ideas. This video gave me lots of ideas. Thank you. I look forward to your ideas for the outside of the home as well.
Thank you for all your ideas!
I am a designer and was so excited to get a touch faucet in the kitchen. HATED IT! I made many calls to customer service. They said you can’t have any other metal under your sink-so I covered screws with tape and so forth. Then the batteries only lasted 6mos. In short, it was very fussy and frustrating- I had to turn off the touch factor and now I have a new faucet😅Maybe they have improved, but this was less than 3 yrs ago!
I have 2 of those fandeliers. Love them. Functional and elegant!
Yes, NEC states that a chandelier must be 8’ from top deck of your tub. However as a home owner, you can do what you want. The thought behind the rule is they don’t want you standing in the tub full of water changing the light bulb. You can’t stop stupid, hang your chandelier the way you want.
Can’t wait till you start ❤
So inspiring!! Thank you!!
So many good ideas look forward as you tackle each one
These ideas were great! Would LOVE to see a video of how to make the outside of your home expensive!
Yes I would love to see another episode like this!!!
Such enthusiasm, NataLee!!! Your home will be gorgeous when you are through with it! Your former home was beautifully decorated!!! I really think you'll find a way to do your mantle! It will be exciting to see! TYFS ❤😊
Enjoyed watching this video ❤
You have so many great ideas, your home being transformed has my interest. It’s already beautiful!
I have always admired how inspiring you are but I also love how you consider others budgets and constraints. ❤
Loved this kind
of video I am excited to see what you decide for your new home your ideas are amazing ❤️
I can’t wait to see what you do with your new space!! ❤
I like these episodes and I like that you add pictures of what your leaning towards
Just ran across your channel and have been binge watching your videos today. Fandelier (hope I spelled it right) - Wow! I will be working on that. Never heard of it, but will be researching. Love your upgrade on a budget series.
More episodes with your ideas please!! ❤ it!
OMG ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ the animal print stairs
This comment will probably be well received, but - as a long time subscriber, I really loved your previous home, which you decorated so well, and it had a cozy vibe. The new home reminds me of a museum wth the offputting large/ high walls and spaces. I can hear the echos as you speak.😢
I love your ideas for your home. You are so talented. I love your new home. Can’t wait to see how it all turns out.
Looking forward to all of your listed projects for your new home.
Everything you do is amazing
Yes!! It’s going to be so much fun following you along your New Home DIY projects, every sounds great.. 🙌
Yay! Thank you!
I love all of your built in ideas.
I have vertical blinds and I rent. I removed each piece and wrapped them up and stored them. I left the valance up and installed a tension bar and put up curtains. Vertical blinds are so 90’s and look cheap even though they’re expensive to purchase. I love doing laundry. I can do it at 6 am or 11 pm. I only put my clothes and towels and sheets away, my husband has to put his clothing away. My laundry room is off of the master bedroom so no biggie for me. I didn’t have a washer and dryer in my home for years and so appreciate NOT having to go to the laundromat. Tfs and congratulations on your new home. Have a wonderful day.🤗
You are inspiring! Maybe one day.💕
@@designedtothenines thank you. You too are extremely inspiring.💗
Love the idea of the banquette and round table.
Just love you Natalee. I love watching your channel and you have such wonderful ideas. Thank you. Have a blessed day ❤
Yesss love the runner on stairs or even if wood, paint the risers in a pattern. ❤
💕😀Natalee, Thank you for sharing with us another great video! You have a beautiful home.
