Mel's comment " an old house can be a nightmare or a dream " is so true. Mel will work her magic and make this a dream. She's already started. I've been living physically attached to my church so Mel will be fine living a stone's throw from her church.
Oh my gosh. Mel didn’t waste any time putting her stamp on her new place. It looks so cute how she removed the doors and styled the shelves. Great job Cousin Mel. You will have all the rooms looking beautiful. Thanks Anne for letting us see Mel ‘s new home.
Could Mel put her coffee bar in the dining room? That porch is cute, tiny but cozy and I love the chairs she has on it.... Her place is going to look great! Can't wait to see it decorated.
Awe Mel, you are a special lady ❤️ You confirmed that a house is just a house, until you make it a home. Both places were just brick and mortar until you added all your decor and made it cozy. I can't wait to see the final product, oh wait, there's no such thing with decorating!! Good health and much happiness to you
I feel so bad for her having to leave her ‘forever farmhouse ‘ ! She has such a great outlook and love how she said God has other plans for her ! Yes he does and they will be great because she trusts 🙏
MEL, YOU WILL HAVE THIS APARTMENT DECORATED LIKE A DOLLHOUSE IN NO TIME AT ALL....I PREDICT YOU WILL LOVE IT AS MUCH AS YOUR LAST HOME...IT HAS "GREAT BONES" AND YOU ARE A MAGICIAN !! SEE, I LOVE THE OPEN SHELVES....THANKS FOR SHARING
She is going to make this apartment so cute and cozy I just know it. She will no doubt be an inspiration to others who have to work with small spaces. She has a beautiful attitude ❤️
This makes me so sad. So much smaller than before, but she's got the right attitude and will make it look as special as the last one! I never knew her last one was a rental, it was a home!! Best wishes!!
Cousin Mel just love your new home! It is so adorable and filled with so much character! A new chapter in your life is starting. A time of new beginnings. Starting off with a clean slate Mel will challenge your wonderful decorating talents and bring this adorable apartment to its cozy and welcoming heights! What fun! Wishing you happiness and many, many blessings in your new home! Thank you Anne for taking us to see Cousin Mel's new home!
I know it must be so hard for Mel to decide what to keep and what to get rid of. But I know this new place will be just as lovely as ever and she will make it homey and sweet. I love the old wood! I'm so happy that she left it as is! I look forward to future tours!
Oh my, that is such a cute space even if it is smaller. I love the wood trim, doors and floors. You just don’t see that much any more. I can’t wait to see how Mel makes it her own. I know it will be so cute! ❤️
What a cute place! I love, love, love all the beautiful old woodwork & hardwood floors!!! Great idea taking off the cabinet doors - it looks fantastic and opens up the space. I can’t wait to see how Cousin Mel transforms this “house” into a “home”❤️
Mel’s new apartment seems quite roomy. I love the floors and the wood trim thru out, especially the doors and original door knobs. Hope Mel will be happy in her new home.😊❤️
Mel, God put your right where He wants you. This new home is going to be Beautiful. So much potential. It is So Cozy! We don't know His plans...but He does, and He doesn't make mistakes. I can't wait to see it with your twist on it. Welcome Home Mel. God Bless you.
Mel, your new home is wonderful. I know you will be happy there once you have surrounded yourself with all the things you love. The kitchen cabinet area looks great with the doors off it looks more you!!! Can't wait to see you transform your new place into "Mel's Place"!!!!
Thank you Anne , for taking us along to see Mel’s new place. 😱I love it ! it’s adorable, no doubt in my mind Mel ,is going to enjoy decorating her new cozy place. Can’t wait to see it decorated .I’m sure is going to be as beautiful as her old place🤗blessings your way🙏🏼
No, I love love the wood. It’s a wonderful old house, just fill it up !!! Remember you can do shelving and maybe even shelving above the windows. I hate for you to get rid of too much. You have such beautiful stuff. Oh I love apple pumpkin. Smart idea Mel!
Mel - you are so creative - this is just a good reason to let your ideas flow and please know we are on this journey with you (through Anne). Remember you can put shelves over the tops of the doorframes in the kitchen too! That would give you decor room. Change is hard but we are praying for you!! You can do this!!! :)
I love this cozy little space. The wood trim on the windows and doors is amazing. I was envisioning a small accordion rack above where she had her coffee station with a hanging basket for coffee pods and pegs for the mugs... but by the end she had taken off the doors and rearranged the whole thing!
Oh Cousin Mel! I think you are turning lemons into lemonade! So anxious to see how you fix your cozy new home. Just know it will be perfect! Blessings to you!
That is a beautiful apartment. Mel is going to make it so cozy and warm. The wood is beautiful. Congrats on your new place Mel. Wishing you many years of joy there.
Can't wait to see your new place all decorated for Fall, Mel! It's going be wonderful I'm sure! Thanks for letting us peak in on you! Thanks, Anne! Keep on keepin' on!
OH MY Word...thought the vid was finished and posted my comment and then you said she had sent you pics...love what she's done in the kitchen...perfect..she is an inspiration.
Remember cousin Mel you can always stack it, it's a lovely place love the floor boards and the window frames are gorgeous.So excited to see how you decorate.Open shelves great idea Anne will look more open. No doubt cousin Mel's will be warm and cosy in no time sending hugs ❤🐦🐝 thank you for the great video Anne ❤😊🐞
I love the low windowsill in tv room.. A little child's chair,,and a little kitty...lol....that closet could have great small tote storage....I can't wait to see what you do with place....I really love love windows and doors....nice patina
YES, I took my doors off as well to show my pretty dishes. I also added shelves above my windows. That helped a lot. I came wait to see what all you do. It’s just a challenge but you have good taste and great decor. So that’s a plus.
Two lovely ladies with beautiful homes. Very talented. Looking forward to cousin Mel's fabulous decorating. I'm in a Florida condo with a small kitchen. Can't wait for ideas. 😍😍😍
You could even add an old cabinet with glass doors over the potty. I did that to hold more of my goodies. I scaled down too. It’s a challenge but it can be done.
Sometimes we are surprisingly taken out of our element only to find that the new adventure ultimately was the best thing for us, maybe not initially, but ultimately, Mel is so talented with her decorating, she would make any space fabulous and hers. I am looking forward to seeing her beautiful home! She and Anne are inspirations....truly!
I know it is smaller but it is cute. I had to sell my farm house because of a divorce and now I rent a tiny apartment.It goes to show you renting isn't the only thing that makes you have to give up a lot of treasures.
Thank you for sharing your home in the "before" stage. I know you're going to make it look like a cozy, prim, home sweet home. Sorry you had to move from your other place, but am hoping and praying that this will be your forever home......UNLESS........you decide to move somewhere else later on. Looking forward to all of you ideas and decor placement . I love your little porch. Sooo cute.
Love your home Mel it’s so cute and so much character love the wood trim I think prim decor is a must that would work with the character of the home very nice I know you can make it very prim looking and nothing wrong with throwing a bit of farmhouse i. The mix in the kitchen love you Mel and Anne
Mel love your new place! It is real homey looking! I know you will fix it up to fit your likes and your own taste. In the end you will be in the right place! Bigger isn’t always the best. Blessings to you in your new place!🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️
Mel, you could relocate your Smegs to the top of your fridge. And with that dining room, I’m sure you’ll be able to put a lot of your other pretties in there. Opening up those kitchen cabinets really opened up the whole room. I’m so excited we’re (I mean, you’re) 😂. Moving into such a cute place and we (I mean, you)😂 get to decorate it !! Fun! Fun! Fun!
I love your new place. And removing the cabinet doors does make it look bigger.I am excited for you, can't wait to see what you do in each room I know it will look great.
P.s. Mel it too much doing that already! A true lover of home and the need for it to be set up and in place. It really is a lovely place there is so much garbage out there for rent.
I like the tv room as is. The bedroom is small; probably your biggest challenge. I love the flooring though and the charm. Oh, you did have a huge kitchen before. Oh my goodness, you could add a pot rack though from the ceiling to hold some pretty things !!!!!
My heart goes out to Mel, moving is so hard. This new place will look just as cozy and warm as the other. Thanks Ann and Mel for the tour. Can't wait for the next, so happy the Smegs have found a new home. I LOVE mine.
Could you move stove closer to doorway and put your island on right side next to stove, pushed against wall between stove and cabinet? MAYBE put open shelves above island?
So happy about Mel has a new place. Mel will have it looking absolutely beautiful in no time.
Mel's comment " an old house can be a nightmare or a dream " is so true. Mel will work her magic and make this a dream. She's already started. I've been living physically attached to my church so Mel will be fine living a stone's throw from her church.

Mel will make her new apartment a dream! She is so good at decorating her home! TFS
Mel never did show us her kitchen pantry, she was right there and moved away!
You could literally decorate your entire house inside and out for Fall with all your stuff. That’s a positive. I know you will make it great.
Awe Mel, you are a special lady ❤️ You confirmed that a house is just a house, until you make it a home. Both places were just brick and mortar until you added all your decor and made it cozy. I can't wait to see the final product, oh wait, there's no such thing with decorating!! Good health and much happiness to you

Can’t wait to see what cousin Mel does with her new place. I know she won’t disappoint. I love all her decor!!
She is going to make this apartment so cute and cozy I just know it. She will no doubt be an inspiration to others who have to work with small spaces. She has a beautiful attitude ❤️
Let Mel know how adorable the new place is! Paint color is perfect & I can’t wait to see what she does!
Wow, she works fast. Live the open shelving. I can hardly wait to see the rest of her completed apartment.
This makes me so sad. So much smaller than before, but she's got the right attitude and will make it look as special as the last one! I never knew her last one was a rental, it was a home!! Best wishes!!
Mel you are already starting to.make it your own. I am sure it will be a little primitive heaven when you are finished.
Those wood floors and windows are gorgous! Mel will make it a dream.i cannot wait to see it done.

Moving can be so overwhelming. Dear Mel, breathe deeply and take it one day at a time and before you know it, it will feel like home! Tfs, Anne! 🤗
Thank you Cousin Mel for sharing your new home.

I can't wait to see it with your twist on it.
Welcome Home Mel. God Bless you.
Cousin Mel, watch some of the RUclips videos giving tours of NYC studio apartments. They will make you feel your new place is HUGE!
Mel, your new home is wonderful. I know you will be happy there once you have surrounded yourself with all the things you love. The kitchen cabinet area looks great with the doors off it looks more

Such a cute place. And the wooden doors and door trim are so pretty.
Can’t wait to see how it all comes together. I know it will be so beautiful and cozy!

Darling bath. Love the beadboard
Two lovely ladies with beautiful homes. Very talented. Looking forward to cousin Mel's fabulous decorating. I'm in a Florida condo with a small kitchen. Can't wait for ideas. 😍😍😍
I can’t wait to see it all done Mel!! you can come help me get mine house with your special touch decorating!
How exciting to go more primitive. It will be great!
Love all of that wood trim and the floors
You could even add an old cabinet with glass doors over the potty. I did that to hold more of my goodies. I scaled down too. It’s a challenge but it can be done.

The rain has been avoiding our little town of Mastersonville,PA. My garden did not produce as much as it usually does. Lovely home,Mel.
Happiness in your new home.
Love your home Mel it’s so cute and so much character love the wood trim I think prim decor is a must that would work with the character of the home very nice I know you can make it very prim looking and nothing wrong with throwing a bit of farmhouse i. The mix in the kitchen love you Mel and Anne
I see a world of possibilities and Mel will be up to the task!😍
Yes now we just have to get her furniture moved over. The rain actually got in the way which is a strange thing to say this summer up here in the East
Buy a cabinet from lowes, paint it a color and put above the refrigerator!!!
Mel love your new place! It is real homey looking! I know you will fix it up to fit your likes and your own taste. In the end you will be in the right place! Bigger isn’t always the best. Blessings to you in your new place!🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️
Can't wait to see how she fixes it up she is such a good decorator
Mel will have that place fixed up so pretty ! I can’t wait to see what she does . Good luck !
Mel, you could relocate your Smegs to the top of your fridge. And with that dining room, I’m sure you’ll be able to put a lot of your other pretties in there. Opening up those kitchen cabinets really opened up the whole room. I’m so excited we’re (I mean, you’re) 😂. Moving into such a cute place and we (I mean, you)😂 get to decorate it !! Fun! Fun! Fun!
I know it will be awesome after you put your touch everywhere Mel. I love the old woodwork and it’s nice and light❤️❤️❤️
It's a beautiful old building. Wood floors, woodwork, and lovely space for cupboards and furniture. Congrtulations Mel!
Best wishes to Mel. I love the feel of her new place. She will make every inch count.
I love your new place. And removing the cabinet doors does make it look bigger.I am excited for you, can't wait to see what you do in each room I know it will look great.
😊❤
P.s. Mel it too much doing that already! A true lover of home and the need for it to be set up and in place.
It really is a lovely place there is so much garbage out there for rent.
Maybe a wall mug rack?
I like the tv room as is. The bedroom is small; probably your biggest challenge. I love the flooring though and the charm. Oh, you did have a huge kitchen before. Oh my goodness, you could add a pot rack though from the ceiling to hold some pretty things !!!!!
Oh, I love Anne and Mel !!!
Well I have to say, it’s soooo cute! AND you now have time to find another place if your not happy there.
Thank you Anne ....I love Mel's new place. I'm sure she'll make it all cozy and comfy.
Love your new place! You’re going to make this one gorgeous home! Thanks for letting us see your new digs.
Oh my. How cute is that apt, can’t wait to see the finished home
Thanks Mel, I can't wait to see the new place finished!
I love the natural wood!
Loving the hardwood
My heart goes out to Mel, moving is so hard. This new place will look just as cozy and warm as the other. Thanks Ann and Mel for the tour. Can't wait for the next, so happy the Smegs have found a new home. I LOVE mine.
Ann it was good to see cousin Mel but what happen to her Lovely home ? Why did she move ?I loved her home so much.
Your new place is very pretty and cozy ! It has character! You are going to make it look gorgeous ❤️😊
Could you move stove closer to doorway and put your island on right side next to stove, pushed against wall between stove and cabinet? MAYBE put open shelves above island?
