I own five pairs of overalls, organize my bookshelves by genre and then by colour, and my favourite book is Animal Farm. I also co-host a podcast, Books Unbound, where I share my love of reading every week. Thanks for visiting!

In a lot of old houses the downstairs spaces used for entertaining would have fancier, more expensive finishes than the private areas that only the family would see, so I actually love the transition to a simpler board and batten upstairs!
I also think the simpler board and batten suits the smaller space that is the upstairs hallway, and the trim downstairs suits the bigger space.
Exactly I love what Ariel has done 😊
I love wallpaper But if she does that, the gallery wall won't look good. It would be art and color on art and color! A gallery wall of art needs a blach bland plain non color background😢! But perhaps the gallery wall can go somewhere else😮?
@@circleofleaves2676 I completely agree; the board and batten is so simple and calming, and it suits such a tiny space - especially one with a reading nook! I strongly prefer it to the trim.
I like the Board and Batten because it's more in keeping with the period of the home, and adds a original look to the hallway. You did a great job on the stairway railing, and the flooring. Obviously you have more fixing to do but you've accomplished a lot already, and it is a tremendous improvement. I agree that the Cathedral window with the reading nook is beautiful. I'd like to know how that window got there, and if there were anymore in the original setup.
I watch DIY Housewife here on RUclips and she's doing Board and Batten all over her home and it looks great. She's a workhorse and must have some Viking in her bloodline, because she makes me tired just watching her do a man's amount of labor in one day or so. Her husband films which is hilarious.
the "crime of passion" clips are killing meeee
I love it because haven’t we all impulsively started a project on a random day (personally, im a fan of starting a project during the night and then being exhausted) 😂
I wanted to say this exactly 😂
HOE-LEEEEE-WHOA I had forgotten exactly how different the house looked when you moved in... you are seriously doing some incredible work. ❤
Right?! Even I’m taken aback when I see the original footage from when I moved in!!
The little bit of wood that was used to extend the old handrail is the most charming thing ever. It’s like seeing an old man and a little kid next to each other :)
They built the wall, framing and everything, on top of the carpet, I can't even. I'm so glad you restored everything, it looks so beautiful.
I think it makes sense given that the owners knew it was temporary. Either the next owner was going to renovate the house and rip it out right away, or else the whole building was getting torn down. It was one step up from putting up some plastic sheeting for insulation.
Which I've seen! A friend inherited from grand parents & it has a Big sheet of MDF wrapped in Thick plastic laying down on the opening, to block air/cold & cover the second floor off like it's the attic. As far as I know she's not been up there because they have no kids so don't need the extra rooms. I wonder if she has any antiques up there😮!!!
If you do wall paper, you might consider adding picture rail trim near the ceiling so you can hang (and rearrange) art without putting holes in the wall.
This is a fantastic idea!!
Most Excellent Idea!
Thats an idea, but sadly not everyone likes the looks of the hanging strings (me being one) but hey, maybe Ariel likes them who knows
@@FidinaQuery I use fishing line on mine, which is barely visible, but yes, it is a way of hanging art that is not to everyone’s taste!
@@caitlinbenallack835 oh i guess its see through? fishing line is actually clever, props for that!
I know this would be a huge commitment so I absolutely would not blame you if you don't do this, but carrying the wallpaper up and across the ceiling would be such a magical vibe. Imagine standing at the foot of the stairs and peeking up to see a gorgeous wallpapered ceiling 😍
lol the fact the railing was in a storage room at the top like that?! divine intervention.. 😂
honestly i get why the plumber complimented the floors because man they really are beautiful. excited to see the wallpaper one day in this hallway, I know it'll be amazing.
There are only a few channels where I smash the like button immediately, and this is one!
It's a good day when Ariel uploads. 🥰
Agreed!
100%!
Indeed!😊❤
Yes, CarolineWinkler, Reissued and Ariel. 😊❤
Absolutely!
Oh, I love the idea of wallpaper above the board and batten! That will really give the hallway a rich, old-world look.
Yesss! Will take it from sort of a nautical coastal kind of theme to rich old-world I love it I'm so excited to see what she picks!!
Just finished a major assignment I’ve been struggling with and as soon as I submitted this notification popped up! ITS LIKE A REWARD! Love your content 🥹🫶🏼
I would recommend a Picture Rail in that hall that you plan to put wallpaper on (for beauty and wall protection).
What a great idea; those vintage pictures sitting on the rail and not having to put holes in the wallpaper to hang them!
I love how you can make a whole video about the simplest (semmingly) and smallest spaces!! And you talk so beautifully and interestingly about it all.
In my heart, the name of this house is "The Situation", because of how many times you've referred to pieces of it as so! And I think it's quite adorable hahha
In the past month I have gone from having seen like only one of your videos in the past few years to making my way through all your videos, newest to oldest. They are always such a joy to watch, and I love everything about them. I absolutely love getting notifications for your newest uploads now 💕
A beautiful William Morris style wallpaper would be spectacular above that board and batten.
Exactly!
True.
that window is possibly the most beautiful thing i have ever seen every time it’s in a video i’m in love
When you repair the ceiling or when you put in wallpaper, add a picture rail like the house deserves. It's period appropriate.
I love the found footage if this. Very fun to see snippets of old videos I've watched and in between
Your house is like an old treasure chest, you always find new surprises.
Yes! A wallpaper will fit right in, especially with the gallery wall. I absolutely love that reading nook with the gorgeous window!
AAAAAnd your hair color looks fabulous, it lights up your face. Good work on that hallway Ariel! Cheers
Oh the enthusiasm of youth! Your house is lovely Ariel, but speaking from experience you will never be finished. 😊
can i just say that i love how much you describe things as beautiful because it is! and i never hear people describing semi normal/normal things as beautiful
On your big beautiful window, I keep imagining how great it would look if you painted gold stars on the arched ceiling Infront of it. ❤ Its such a dreamy spot!
I could have watch a whole 45 min video of this hallway transformation!!!
It was such a relief to finish a stressful day at work and get onto the Good Screen (my not-work laptop) and see a video from you, Ariel! Commenting so I can come back and edit later, but I'm loving the summery hair so much! I am in the thick of my own full renovation and it's seriously comforting to see someone else renovating SLOWLY. Not everyone has the time or money to do a full reno in one go... I watched too much HGTV with my mom as a kid.
Edit: Okay, I would be SO HAPPY to find studs in such great condition to use for other stuff. 😂 Sadly all the studs in my old house are needed... and I could really use more! The paint color you used for the board and batten hall is SO nice and airy, I really want to do something similar in my kitchen. I've been a big fan of Backwoods from Benjamin Moore slightly tinted lighter with white paint. I got a sample pint and added it to a gallon of white exterior paint and used it in my sad basement and it made such a huge difference.
Doing wall paper on both the walls and ceiling could look really cool!
Putting wallpaper on the white will look so good!! It would also be such a cool look if you continued the wallpaper on to the ceiling and got a really pretty light
Can we stop for a second and aknowledge how healthy and happy you look!!! Mucho amor desde España ❤ Tu casa es idílica!
I appreciate you showing the ongoing process. It's realistic. Restoring and renovating a house is seldom start to finish in one go.
I'm so happy to have been along for the ride. Thanks for the overview of past and future projects. I love your home and your cheerful approach to all of your remodeling projects.
I think you should paint the trim of the window that green color that you have in the hallway. I think it would tie the nook into the rest of the space and draw more attention to the window
Her vision is just incredible, as soon as she said wallpaper the white instantly looked like a blank canvas. I’m so excited for the final product!
seeing all of the changes and how far the whole HOUSE has come along is so cool and such a special thing to see
Maybe you should add trim to the downstairs hallway ways instead. I absolutely love the boarding button in the upstairs hallway.And it'll look even more incredible with wallpaper.
one super duper easy way to improve your board and batten would be to add a deep cap along the top of the panels to act as a shallow baby shelf. it would improve the order so visually it would look appealing but also u could put little knick knacks on it and like garland for christmas time and stuff like that!
i feel like a spring-y nature motif for the wall paper would look so good in the hallway, maybe using the yellows and greens from van gogh’s sunflowers. and i think a small vintage-style chandelier would be so cute for the light fixture above the stairs! something that mimics old chandeliers that held candles.
I can’t wait to see what you choose to do with the finishing touches in this space! These videos are always so fun and make me feel happy. Good luck with your upcoming project! ☺️
Opening that hallway made a huge difference. Looks incredible.
absolutely loving your videos! would you ever do a video on how you did the hallway flooring and what you learnt from the first time? thank you!
If you not completely satisfied with the board and batten. You could always add more detail to the inside by framing it with thinner pieces of trim to add more dimension.
That hallway is beautiful, with the amazing window (looks like a reclaimed church window), the lovely window seat, flooring, wainscoting, stair railing. You can be very well proud of yourself, girl. I do hope you finish repairing the ceiling and upper stairway wall before you start a wallpapering project. I know waiting is hard, but you can do research, order samples, and have more time to live with your wallpaper ideas before install; always a good thing. Looking forward to your next project.
Hair looks fab!
Looking forward to all future work, especially the scary attic 😊
Wallpaper in the hallway would be perfectly appropriate for a house the age of yours. 🏡
i'm so disappointed when your videos come to an end. Love your house
Nice video! In on brief package, it shows the evolution of your skills, your sense of style, and the wonderful support of your family.
That hallway would look amazing with wallpaper! I could just see a beautiful William Morris print or something along those lines. It might be kind of busy, but GOOD busy, to hang the art right back up there. Can't wait for the next video!
I love what you have done upstairs. The floors, stairs, rails, wall color, window seat, everything.
The house looks so beautiful I cant believe how much progress you’ve made!!! This has me right at the edge of buying an old house in Canada to fix up for myself 😭
When you said "I need wallpaper" I said "Yes." !!!!!! I can't wait to see what you choose!
I think an epic crystal chandelier would look amazing in the hallway, the sunlight would make all sorts of rainbows 😍 or maybe some faux tiffany lamps/lights would go with Ariel's vibe 💕
A pink dominant wallpaper would go great with the green paint upstairs.
It's so fun to see how far that space has come (and the reading nook video is my favorite, so this is a good reminder to rewatch it)! 💜
I have been watching your channel since you first purchased your home. I have enjoyed each and every project you have done. I have watched you grow your skills with each project. I look forward to seeing you continue to progress through this old house as you turn it into a beautiful unique colorful home. Love what you've done. The windows seat is awesome I love it, what a treat spot.😊
Ariel I hope you’re so proud of yourself!! It looks amazing, your hard work is totally paying off 😍
What about wallpaper in the ceiling? Would be nice as you're coming up!
The spindles are the steal of the century and SO GORGEOUS. And your HAIR! It is so lovely! So glad to see your house videos whenever they pop up!
Wow that wood panel was is so much cleaner of a tear down than drywall!
Crazy how much work and creativity can be put into just a hallway/stairwell! You've done a magical job!
I have a house Im restoring in Maine and its also an old lady, I did a board and batten wall in my hallway too, I put some fun hooks on it and hang my cool thrifted quilts on them! My fam that comes to stay loves it because they always get cold😂
As someone who is also spending years restoring my home I love how you point out what still needs to happen. I find that so helpful 😅
I’m with Eddy… I don’t like heights or missing handrails either ❤ amazing finds while re-instating the fabulous railings.
If the prints right, you could wallpaper the wall and take it over the ceiling too
Congratulations for your beautiful work. Wall paper is a beautiful idea. Look at more William Morris. It would look so rich and elegant and fit the style of your home. Find gorgeous vintage lighting for your upstairs hallway. If you add a beautiful mirror it will reflect more light to the upstairs too. Look in antique shops online for vintage lighting. Love your delightful, whimsical style.
not only does your hallway look absolutely stunning, your HAIR is so so gorgeous!!
You could probably add some thin trim to the board and batten to make it less square and match the other trim in the house more 😊
I got so excited when you said wallpaper😂
I think when you fix the molding over the door. Add a profiled cap to board and bat on and that will probably make it fit the space better.
I’m very excited to see what you do to finish this hallway. How do you feel about having a painted door and two stained in the same area? Just wondered if you would make any change there. Do you think you’ll find another William Morris print paper for the upper walls? The paper in the alcove next to the coral trim is gorgeous! 😊👏👏👏♥️🙏
It looks great! You could probably paint or wallpaper the ceiling too. That window really is nice
I see 'William Morris' adoring the walls:) Can't wait for the next one!
I just love your house and how you've envisioned it. The board and batten actually looks nice in the hallway because its vertical, as opposed to horizontal and it suits the hallway for some reason. I think it's perfect. I can see a wallpaper with a subtle leafy pattern maybe? something vintage looking, of course. I can't wait to see what you come up with.
just need to say YOUR HAIR IS GORGEOUS!! love the color and highlights
I like the board and batten upstairs! Love your hallway 😊
That checkered quilt is gorgeous!!! Also the difference in lighting and open feeling of the upstairs is crazy, wallpaper would be so nice in that space omg. Also some tiered lighting down the stairs !
That freaking window!!! I would have purchased that house just because of that!!!
Looks great 😊
Looks lovely!
Aaaah yay I’ve been excited to see the staircase handrail process for so long!
A new video!! Yay!!! 💜
I love the plan for the upstairs hallway and all that you have accomplished so far!
It must be hallway season because I am taking the summer (Besides gardening) and working on my front hallway and the hallway from my living room to the kitchen in my 1880 apartment.
I'm looking forward to see the new wall paper go up and the old paneling come down
Love love love the hallways and the nook!
Wow, what a transformation!
Fantastic work!
Wow. What a transformation. ❤ 💕 💓
Can't wait to see the result 👏👏👏😍
Fantastic reno !!! ❤
You could do very thin lines of rounded trim around the planks to add some detail! I think I've seen some that are definitely not real wood but bendy and very DIY friendly, wish I knew what it was called. But it might not be of interest for an old home anyway. Looks beautiful!
love your house, love your content!
Beautiful
Great job on the project so far. It’s very inspiring!
Have you considered a golden chandelier ceiling light? Perhaps something simple like 5 arms with little shades or something. I think that could be beautiful :)
The window upstairs!! *gorgeous* !!!!!
Ariel, this transformation is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!
Love what you have done. Looking forward to more.
Looks amazing! Would love to see that one white door stripped to match the others
You are such a joy 😊
Beautiful… I love everything you have done! 🌸
Great update. I can't wait to see it finished 🖤
