I am just going to say. I love how your house is so normal. One my sister and I biggest pet peeves is all these people paying so much for homes and then spending money and ripping out perfectly good kitchens and bathrooms. None of that insane over priced decor.
I have to say, GIRL YOU ARE GRINDING! The consistency of how much videos you put out, I absolutely feel so spoiled lol. Keep up the great work Christine, I really love your content!
Christine, you’ve always been so open about how much you make on RUclips and finances, which I love! Would you be willing to do a video on how much you made in Vlogust? I’m just wondering how the daily videos and all the work that went into it was worth it for you financially. :)
Absolutely prefer round toilets. Hate the elongated one in my half bath. Minerals in water constantly build up in it, impossible to keep clean. Didn't know so easy to change.
Lately I have been feeling really down that we've only chipped away at redecorating our house and there are still major areas (the upstairs bathroom- ugh) That I hate and haven't really touched. Knowing that you've also been in your house for a handful of years and still are redoing things that the previous owners did makes me feel so much better about our home and the non-existent timeline we've had for remodeling/redecorating. Thanks for posting!
Man I sure love the longer videos!!! I hope you do more that are this length the longer the better....and thank you for showing a realistic “clean with me” video, all those people doing a clean with me and their house is already spotless I’m like y’all lyin🤣Love the video have a great day!!!
Hi Christine! If you have some carpet scraps or you can get some sample squares from the improvement stores and use the picture hanging command hooks, you can stick the carpet squares to the wall behind the desk you are using for voice overs, it will kill the echo. ❤️
We went on vacation and they had one big sink and my husband said "Why didn't we do this again? I like it so much more then ours." I said because we never clean the dishes so we put the dishes in the sink but of course my husband and I disagree on which side should have the dirty dishes. Loved that the kids started singing like angels when you said it without prompting!
House renovation is looking amazing! It’s great that Dave can do or at least attempt to do the smaller things and save money by doing so. It seems like you are happier and happier as the house progresses through the renovation. Much love to you and your family ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I haven't read all the comments so perhaps someone already recommended this, but with your new Ikea cabinet, instead of notching the baseboard I would add wood blocks under the two legs and paint them white to match. Then you won't have to replace the baseboard when that piece of furniture gets replaced some day.
I didn’t know if I would like the deep one basin sink when we built our house 5 years ago, but it is one of my favorite things in my kitchen! Highly recommend using a grate in the bottom to keep it from being scratched! You are going to love it!
I used to have the same problem with the sink not being big enough for larger pots and pans. When I moved and redid the kitchen in my new place I made sure that I got the biggest single basin sink I could find.
Our house has a similar problem, the previous owners did a bunch of substandard renovations and the sink is such a frustration. I told my partner that our next house HAS TO HAVE A BIG KITCHEN I'm excited to see Christine's upgrade!
We had a tiny shallow sink & replaced it with a deep double sink. Although I wouldn't recommend ceramic...no scratch & stain resistant my foot... Those tiny sinks are terrible. Despite the scratches & stains, I'll keep my deep sink thanks!
I've taken doors down and decided not to replace but sometimes a tension rod and heavy curtain provides privacy and allows the heat to stay in the shower area.
You both are quite handy around the house. Ok, Ok, you got me. The kitchen sink and knobs are better than painted cabinets and will be more appreciated in the long run. I like how the updating has been well thought out and planned and not just thrown together. Planning = frugal!!
I just needed to tell u that I tried ur banana bread recipe but made muffins and added mini chocolate chips and walnuts. They r AMAZING !!! Nice to get things changed up in our houses Thank you!!!
I adore your energy and spirit. You make my heart and soul feel better with every video I watch. You absolutely crack me up! I love you! Thank you for being you, and sharing you with us! 🙌🤗💚🤗🙌
The basement lights look great! I swear, you make me feel normal with all the crazy going on in my house. Thank you for always being real on here. Stay safe and well FFM family!
I had to giggle a bit when Dave was telling you how to attach the wire nuts. I help my boyfriend do stuff around our new house and it felt like it y’all’s conversation was the same conversation I have with him when he’s trying to tell me how to do things.
Instead of notching out the baseboard you should add something to the bottom of the cabinet in case you don’t keep it there or move it somewhere else eventually. New knobs look great!
Hello... I've watched almost half your videos 😊 already I love watching when I have time and especially at night when i cant sleep. Thank you for being so cool.
I relate to the all over brown color. Our house was too when we purchased it. I am married to a contractor so the DAY we closed escrow (and before we moved in) hubby, etc. painted walls, tore down the popcorn ceilings and replaced them with a nice knockdown (?). House was magically transformed into one I was happy with. We slowly renovated the rest for several years. Takes time and money as you know. We purchased the house for a steal since the family had already moved out of state and the husband was still here with only a t.v., t.v. tray, lawn chair and mattress 😏. You all are doing really well.
Girl!! Thanks for keeping it real. Love that you have chargers and loose garden produce here and there like my kitchen lol!! The struggle of peanut butter here there and everywhere is a sign of a happy home :-) Really enjoy your videos thanks for the hard work and time you put into these for all of us.
We had to replace the giant chandelier in our living room last spring with 24 foot ceilings. Luckily our neighbor had a ladder big enough and turns out he is an electrician so he just offered to install it for us lol. I don’t know how well we would have done on our own because the new fixture I bought was HEAVY!
Christine! I missed you! I've been watching Jen Chapin videos for a couple days (love her, thanks for introducing me) and was just thinking to myself that I needed my FFM fix. Thanks for being awesome!
I love the segment with you and your husband putting in the light. I always love when my husband teaches me to do some handyman things and it was just sweet how he talked you through it.
Thank you for this video and your willingness to be real. I’ve been struggling so hard with the kids starting school and doing virtual learning I have just felt like the biggest failure. I’m using the weekend to binge RUclips and catch up. Great work! This was very motivating for me.
The sea salt color really opens up the bathroom, it looks so good! I recently replaced my toilet as well with a newer model (smaller cistern/ water tank, like yours), and that space reduction really makes a difference. Loving the whole home improvement series!
Oh my goodness yes. I’m a cashier at wallies right now. This last weekend was CRAZY. I got to work Friday and we had every single register open (unheard of i know) and we still had lines all the way back to the clothes. Saturday was even worse.
Girl yes! I need to learn to do these upgrades myself. I’m done waiting around for my Dad to help. It’s always tomorrow and tomorrow. BTW you’re definitely my inspiration!
Sheila Perreault haha that makes sense to me now you mention it. I like watching people clean, non YT watchers don’t understand & think it’s weird but i enjoy it lol
With so much love, I have to tell you, I am so jealous of your life! The pure fact that you guys have been in this house since Ryan was that little. We have moved so much. Smh. But really, I admire you so much! It’s such a pleasure to watch your videos. And also, I would watch a “get ready with me” from you. PS: i tried really hard with my punctuation here. Lol extra for you!!!
Love the incoming kitchen cabinet knobs!! And who doesn't want a ginormous kitchen sink??? (a/k/a animal bath tub, at my house, lol). Since you aren't planning to paint the cabinets, and love citrus smells, I recommend buying some Pledge orange oil spray and wiping all the cabinet faces with that before installing the new knobs. It smells AMAZING and will give the cabinets a fresh 'like-new' glow for several weeks.
My husband and I recently replaced a toilet that said "easy one person install", no! The previous owners of our house also used the cheapest option for things and we had to get a new wax ring bc we ruined one. I did learn new skills and toilet terminology: flange closet, Johnny bolts. It also makes it hard bc toilets are usually against a wall and in a corner!
Don’t notch out the back of the Ikea unit - instead add some small feet to the bottom of the legs to add height. Much easier and doesn’t damage the unit.
Im so jelly of your basement. I want a 2 story basement but i just love the size of your basement. Your all doing a great job re doing it. Looking good.
I'm the exact same way!! If I'm running around cleaning like a mad woman my girls will ask me "what's wrong" or if I'm ok, lol. It helps clear my head.
You’re lucky to have a husband who is so handy, and he’s lucky to have you with all of your many skills. At your recommendation I read the four Court of Thorns and Roses books, so good. I just got the first three of her other series from the library. I’m a bookworm too but I do most on my kindle because my hovel is small and the books would take over. Thank you for all you do here.
Frugal Fit Mom yes, but I’m making them wait till I clean up the partially read books on my phone/tablet/kindle. Who says I can’t delay gratification? Well, not when it comes to food anyway...
Jellybeansbud I know you didn’t ask me but we just got a quote at the end of last year to replace the siding on our house. It’s 1543 sf and the front of home has brick that would remain. The quotes we got were 10k and 13k for two siding brands the company quoted. We are in Louisiana and I can’t recall the name f the company but pretty sure we called sears for the quote and they sent the particular company out. We are opting to just replace the bottom two rows of our siding and trim instead and that came to just under 2k from a local roofing and siding contractor I had come out last week.
Yall are really coming along. We are redoing things in our new to us 1940's house. Can't wait to see how you like the new fan's. We have to put one up in our 1 bathroom.They didn't even put one in! It's so many to choose from, how did you decide?
I'm with you on unloading the dishwasher! I will use the clean dishes out of the dishwasher and handwash dishes for 2 weeks if I have to. I had rather go dig a ditch than unload a dishwasher! 🤷♀️
Amanda Williams this summer I *literally* dig a ditch at my job. Every day I came home and looked at the dishwasher but just did mine by hand instead. Happened for about a month.
I needed this today. I woke up with the desire to eat carbs and watch movies all day 😆 (not that it could actually happen with two young kids) but after watching this I got the motivation to get myself moving and get my stuff done. Thanks Christine!
Ouch, I don't think I could live by that 2 year rule. If I really love a book I keep it. I mostly have audible or kindle books, but I still have a couple hundred actual books. I do give books away sometimes (especially if I really love it) On a side note: Outlander is my fav book series (I started reading them 15 years ago)
Wow great video Christine. A suggestion. Use risers under that dresser in the hall. I think that might be easier that notching out the baseboard. Either way everything is looking great.
WOW!!! just wow, you have been so busy, I love the toilet stuff, you don't know how many times I've taken apart toilets, not only in my home because of toddlers but my sister's home, I feel I'm a bonafide toilet expert now.
If you put vinyl plank in your basement you can use it in the bathroom as well. I should replace our ensuite bathroom toilet too, it has always had the most pathetic flush.
I just watched your talk on get organized hq. I have followed you for a while. I thought it was so great. I am someone that struggles with self care. So, thanks.
🚽🚽🚽 idea..... For the bathroom shower area...instead of a door....how about " saloon" style shutters? They hang mid way down the door jam, stay "closed" so won't impeed into the shower room space....and if you are changing it still gives that but of privacy... Just a thought. House is looking great guys!!!
Loved the video. Totally agree washing big pots in a small sink is a pain. Love the colors you picked for the bathroom. But I kept thinking, "Why aren't they painting the trim in the corner before installing the new toilet?"
Hi Christine, I have a huge under mount sink in my kitchen and washing up big pots and roasting pans are so much easier. But I regret that I cut the same size hole in bench top as the sink. You can see where sink and bench top meets and silicon gunk and mound is so visible and you can never clean well. So I suggest you cut the hole of bench top smaller than the sink so you never see that! I look forward to your new bench top!
Those shut-off valves always seem to be broken when you change out toilets. Almost every toilet we’ve ever replaced we had to change the shut-off valve, too.
I am just going to say. I love how your house is so normal. One my sister and I biggest pet peeves is all these people paying so much for homes and then spending money and ripping out perfectly good kitchens and bathrooms. None of that insane over priced decor.
I cracked up at the 2angels singing to the toilet and it melted my heart to syrupppp
Dave teaching you how to do electric was so darn cute. He adores you Christine and it shows.
I love how you and Dave work together and his patience while teaching you to do your outdoor light is adorable. 🥰
I have to say, GIRL YOU ARE GRINDING! The consistency of how much videos you put out, I absolutely feel so spoiled lol. Keep up the great work Christine, I really love your content!
Thank you so much!
Christine, you’ve always been so open about how much you make on RUclips and finances, which I love! Would you be willing to do a video on how much you made in Vlogust? I’m just wondering how the daily videos and all the work that went into it was worth it for you financially. :)
VJonestown exactly! Christine has been so transparent in the past and it’s been sooo interesting! I hope she will consider sharing how Vlogust went!
I made a video on this earlier in the year ruclips.net/video/8ha3S8v0QV0/видео.html
Absolutely prefer round toilets. Hate the elongated one in my half bath. Minerals in water constantly build up in it, impossible to keep clean. Didn't know so easy to change.

Thanks for posting!
I had the same issue with my bathroom door. I ended up taking it off & hanging a slider/ barn style door! Made the bathroom so much roomier!!!
Man I sure love the longer videos!!! I hope you do more that are this length the longer the better....and thank you for showing a realistic “clean with me” video, all those people doing a clean with me and their house is already spotless I’m like y’all lyin🤣Love the video have a great day!!!
Woohoo, 30 minutes of Christine! 😉

Isn't it great when things in your house actually work the way they're suppose to work? Love all the changes you are making. You're on a roll.
House renovation is looking amazing! It’s great that Dave can do or at least attempt to do the smaller things and save money by doing so. It seems like you are happier and happier as the house progresses through the renovation. Much love to you and your family ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hey, yeah, but I'm taking a number too.
I didn’t know if I would like the deep one basin sink when we built our house 5 years ago, but it is one of my favorite things in my kitchen! Highly recommend using a grate in the bottom to keep it from being scratched! You are going to love it!
This is honestly inspiring me to do the projects I’ve been putting off at home...because I’ve been cheap as well. So, thank you!
I used to have the same problem with the sink not being big enough for larger pots and pans. When I moved and redid the kitchen in my new place I made sure that I got the biggest single basin sink I could find.

You really inspire me, lady! I enjoy your humor and your family makes my heart happy. Thanks for leading my example!
hahaha the boys being angel voices !
You both are quite handy around the house. Ok, Ok, you got me. The kitchen sink and knobs are better than painted cabinets and will be more appreciated in the long run. I like how the updating has been well thought out and planned and not just thrown together. Planning = frugal!!
It’s amazing how light fixtures brighten up the room and makes it look bigger
I just needed to tell u that I tried ur banana bread recipe but made muffins and added mini chocolate chips and walnuts. They r AMAZING !!! Nice to get things changed up in our houses Thank you!!!

Instead of notching out the baseboard you should add something to the bottom of the cabinet in case you don’t keep it there or move it somewhere else eventually. New knobs look great!
Also they make rubber shims for toilets so you won’t have mold. They are super cheap on amazon.
My BFF when they redid their kitchen she took her largest pan when she was looking at sinks , she has a double sink , it’s great .
Hello... I've watched almost half your videos 😊 already I love watching when I have time and especially at night when i cant sleep. Thank you for being so cool.

I love that your hubby is teaching you how to replace and reconnect the different items in your home instead of just doing them himself!!
It makes me feel normal, that i am not the only one who sometimes have Chaos in my home. Is that weird? Thankyou. Love from Switzerland
Same!
Question for the bathroom.... could you put in a pocket door?
I love how Dave was teaching you to switch the light 🥺 so sweet
Christine! I missed you! I've been watching Jen Chapin videos for a couple days (love her, thanks for introducing me) and was just thinking to myself that I needed my FFM fix. Thanks for being awesome!
Great choice on the knobs. The matte black is great and the square knobs are more modern.
I love the segment with you and your husband putting in the light. I always love when my husband teaches me to do some handyman things and it was just sweet how he talked you through it.
those cabinets would look Incredible with a coat of white paint and the new handles
You are just too adorable and I love that you help Dave do handyman chores ❤️
Thank you for this video and your willingness to be real. I’ve been struggling so hard with the kids starting school and doing virtual learning I have just felt like the biggest failure. I’m using the weekend to binge RUclips and catch up. Great work! This was very motivating for me.
Glad it was helpful!

I’m so weird but I love watching you and Jen Chapin clean your stoves. It’s so weirdly satisfying lol.
I find this satisfying too.
I love both of them too
Agreed! I told my kids that now I understand why they like watching other people play video games online. LOL
Sheila Perreault haha that makes sense to me now you mention it. I like watching people clean, non YT watchers don’t understand & think it’s weird but i enjoy it lol
Lol!
With so much love, I have to tell you, I am so jealous of your life! The pure fact that you guys have been in this house since Ryan was that little. We have moved so much. Smh.

The Speedy cameos were adorable! He was really zipping around in the clips
Wow. Your house is looking great. Love the home improvements. Keep them coming please.
Thank you! Will do!
Im so jelly of your basement. I want a 2 story basement but i just love the size of your basement. Your all doing a great job re doing it.
Looking good.
Change the flusher on the toilet to the matte black. Best choice we ever made when we changed everything out
I have very similar pulls and knobs in my kitchen, bathrooms, and I added them to our entertainment center so everything coordinates.
House renovations are so exhausting but so satisfying!!
Christine, I just have to let you know I sooo look forward to your videos! Love watching you and the fam 💜
We did a barn door on our small bathroom. Life changer. Looks like your could slide to the right?
I love your videos and you guys are doing a great job updating your basement
Thanks so much!
Christine for you cupboards use some Old English oil with cheese cloth and wipe them down every 6 months they will make them look bighter and newer...
I love cleaning the kitchen, it’s therapeutic to me. If i’m stressed or anxious or angry i clean lol
I'm the exact same way!! If I'm running around cleaning like a mad woman my girls will ask me "what's wrong" or if I'm ok, lol. It helps clear my head.
We just added a sink to our house.. it’s been a process and I’m thankful to finally have a sink! We got the single large basin!
I'm loving all the home project videos!
Btw I like the wood in the kitchen. Painting white isn’t always the best thing.
Love the long videos Keep up the good work. Have a blessed week.😊
we did the same thing with our sink, hated the 2 bowl sink, it was so messy everytime. changed to a one bowl sink, it was the best change we made
Wow so much work, can't wait for you to have your completed basement, it's such a cool space
You’re lucky to have a husband who is so handy, and he’s lucky to have you with all of your many skills. At your recommendation I read the four Court of Thorns and Roses books, so good. I just got the first three of her other series from the library. I’m a bookworm too but I do most on my kindle because my hovel is small and the books would take over. Thank you for all you do here.
Did you get Throne of Glass? I couldn't put those down!
Frugal Fit Mom yes, but I’m making them wait till I clean up the partially read books on my phone/tablet/kindle. Who says I can’t delay gratification? Well, not when it comes to food anyway...
I had to lol at the brown house- our house was purple when we bought it!! We still have a purple fence
Omg, I so relate. Our house is still brown. Except our siding was replaced a few years back.
Totally intrusive question, I know, but how much (just ball park it) did it cost to redo the siding? I’m eyeing a house but the siding is ugly.
Jellybeansbud I know you didn’t ask me but we just got a quote at the end of last year to replace the siding on our house. It’s 1543 sf and the front of home has brick that would remain. The quotes we got were 10k and 13k for two siding brands the company quoted. We are in Louisiana and I can’t recall the name f the company but pretty sure we called sears for the quote and they sent the particular company out. We are opting to just replace the bottom two rows of our siding and trim instead and that came to just under 2k from a local roofing and siding contractor I had come out last week.
Latasha Henry thanks!
Yall are really coming along. We are redoing things in our new to us 1940's house. Can't wait to see how you like the new fan's. We have to put one up in our 1 bathroom.They didn't even put one in! It's so many to choose from, how did you decide?
I'm with you on unloading the dishwasher! I will use the clean dishes out of the dishwasher and handwash dishes for 2 weeks if I have to. I had rather go dig a ditch than unload a dishwasher! 🤷♀️
Amanda Williams this summer I *literally* dig a ditch at my job. Every day I came home and looked at the dishwasher but just did mine by hand instead. Happened for about a month.
I like using baking soda and vinegar on my stove top. Its chemical free and pretty abrasive so it helps get off all the baked on stuff.
I use bi carb soda white vinegar and cut lemon/lemon juice
I needed this today. I woke up with the desire to eat carbs and watch movies all day 😆 (not that it could actually happen with two young kids) but after watching this I got the motivation to get myself moving and get my stuff done. Thanks Christine!
Suggest folding door (1/2 size of other door) or put up a curtain for privacy in doorway.
SOOOO understand about the books. I have 12 bookcases FULL and am considering purging 7 of those.
Finally! A pic of the flying sectional! My day is complete.
Ouch, I don't think I could live by that 2 year rule. If I really love a book I keep it. I mostly have audible or kindle books, but I still have a couple hundred actual books. I do give books away sometimes (especially if I really love it) On a side note: Outlander is my fav book series (I started reading them 15 years ago)
My favorite series too!!
Wow great video Christine. A suggestion. Use risers under that dresser in the hall. I think that might be easier that notching out the baseboard. Either way everything is looking great.
WOW!!! just wow, you have been so busy, I love the toilet stuff, you don't know how many times I've taken apart toilets, not only in my home because of toddlers but my sister's home, I feel I'm a bonafide toilet expert now.

I just watched your talk on get organized hq. I have followed you for a while. I thought it was so great. I am someone that struggles with self care. So, thanks.
I'm glad you liked it!
ACOTAR is my favorite series. I love it so much!
Love how colorful all your dishes are
Glad you like them!
Outlander is my FAVORITE! I have the entire series and I read them every year without fail
I have same sink issue i put roll up towel between me and the sink... Helps ish... Love 30 minutes of Christine's vlog.. Nice cleaning job!
Even with a working toilet, try Green Gobbler Septic Saver, even though you don’t have a septic system.
Great video!!! I love that you are teaching your kids!!! I wish I knew more! I’m an adult still learning about light bulbs 😂
We need an updated “Kitchen Clean with Me” in the new kitchen! ☺️
🚽🚽🚽 idea..... For the bathroom shower area...instead of a door....how about " saloon" style shutters? They hang mid way down the door jam, stay "closed" so won't impeed into the shower room space....and if you are changing it still gives that but of privacy... Just a thought. House is looking great guys!!!
Loved the video. Totally agree washing big pots in a small sink is a pain. Love the colors you picked for the bathroom. But I kept thinking, "Why aren't they painting the trim in the corner before installing the new toilet?"
Wow! Great job getting all those little projects done 👏
Hi Christine,
I have a huge under mount sink in my kitchen and washing up big pots and roasting pans are so much easier.
But I regret that I cut the same size hole in bench top as the sink. You can see where sink and bench top meets and silicon gunk and mound is so visible and you can never clean well. So I suggest you cut the hole of bench top smaller than the sink so you never see that! I look forward to your new bench top!
Those shut-off valves always seem to be broken when you change out toilets. Almost every toilet we’ve ever replaced we had to change the shut-off valve, too.
Yay! The house improvements are looking great!!
I think you’ll love Outlander. It’s one of my favorite series of books. I’ve re-read them three times.
Super impressive! Love the home improvements!
