Girl. I’m LOVING this new homesteading era because I’m learning all the things too! Gardening, making homemade bread, canning, etc. It’s all so much fun, and it’s awesome to see others who are just getting into it too! A new community!
So refreshing to see her incorporate more sustainability in a modern lifestyle. It feels attainable
Sarah, For your kitchenette floor check into like the large piece of clear hard plastic you'd lay down under and around a desk for your chair to roll on. They come in so many sizes, shapes and colors. It would cover the carpet but protect it from anything if spilled for easy clean up. Blessings!
My exact thought too! Sure came in handy when I dumped my coffee on my lap last week 😂
Maybe put a birdhouse up for the birds so they'll stop building a nest.
We were in the process only feelings. God's the burke '/!
Get a large washable (Ruggable sponsorship??!) rug for under your table and a matching smaller washable rug for the floor in front of the kitchenette appliances if you dont want to mess with the carpet.
I dont think taking out the carpet around the kitchenette would look bad at all! Since its a small area, maybe you could choose a cool patterned tile for the floor and coordinate it with the backsplash!
I'd remove the carpet from the whole area behind the couch and do waterproof vinyle "wood" flooring (there's some that look exactly like hard wood flooring), then get a big washabke rug for under the dining table and a matching runner for in front of the kitchenette. I've seen a lot of new builds w this set up and it looks great. Being in the midwest, you need to keep carpet in the tv area, not just for coziness and warmth, but for sound absorbtion too.
I think you should go hardwood from the back of the couch to the wall, then add a big area rug under the dining set! It will be functional, look great and still have the warmth with the area rug 🤍
Sarah there are semi hard plastic mats you can put on the carpet to protect it. Some people use the mats on their carpet and put their office chairs on top so they can move smoothly. Maybe that could be an option?! 😊
That’s exactly what I was thinking too!
I buy my daughters shorts at Old Navy a lot. Last time I purchased we were able to search by inseam which made it easier to avoid the daisy dukes. 😂
I was going to recommended Old Navy too! Great sandals and swim as well!!
Someone just recommended Old Navy to me for 10yo who's curves are starting to pop and we had great luck finding shorts.
Coffee: ready
Sarah: *on*
🙋♀️💖
Sarah! After you feed the sourdough you don’t want to screw the lid on all the way. Leave the jar a little loose so that the air can escape
Definitely put up a bird house or feeder somewhere you wouldn’t mind them being! I live right next to a Costco, albeit in an apartment, and I think it’s great! My boyfriend has the membership level that gives you cash-back and we only put gas in at Costco (way cheaper) the cash-back at the end of the year pays for the membership plus some.
We live in a small neighborhood behind Costco, and I love it. Having a gas station and the store right there is super convenient.
To keep your succulents alive do not over water! Most succulents are dormant because you are not in a subtropical area. So just water when dry and don’t over saturate the soil.
100% agree with you Sarah! I need subtitles in movie theaters. I always have them on while watching movies at home and I understand the movie better because I can read what they are saying rather than wondering what they just said. Lol
I think there are hard of hearing times in theaters that show subtitles. I think, I’m not 100% sure. But I personally love subtitles also.
Or they have a screen that goes in the cup holder that can have the CC but only some movies do it
After I watched this video, it suggested the halloween 2016 vlog to me. I just watched and my insides MELTED. Those beautiful, angelic children!! I loved watching it, and I'm so glad you left these old videos for us to see. xoxo
The company
It absolutely will not look silly to have just the kitchen area floor changed. I think it would look bad actually not changing the floor! Completely understand your dilemma with the cold though.
Nahhhh my boy Crash was about to get in big trouble! 😂 the mom voice came out
I’ve seen the partial tiled floors all the time for a little kitchenette. So I don’t think it will look dumb at all, but an alternative if you could do is possibly a big mat that you could put right in front of the kitchenette.
I have been saying this FOREVER, they NEED to add subtitles to some showings. The deaf community deserves it. But i as well would love it!
I highly recommend changing the floor around the kitchenette in the basement. One of my friends had a similar set up when we were in high school and that was out hang out spot, which is what I'm assuming you want for your kids. They did everything they could to keep the floor clean, they put a kitchen mat in front of the sink, they had the carpet cleaned every year. At one point their pipes froze while they were on vacation (I'm from Dekalb so you know how the basements get in the winter) and they had to pull up ALL of the carpet and they found so.much.mold. under the carpet around the kitchenette. It wasn't from the pipes bursting it was from years of us washing cups in the sink and accidentally spraying water on the floor, dropping pizza slices on the floor and not being able to properly clean it up, and spilling liters of pop, and even when we told them we accidentally made a mess (they were so cool about it so we always made sure to tell them right away) there was just no way to keep that area clean enough to not eventually build up mold. The carpet cleaning only did enough to make sure that it never got into the actual carpet where someone could have seen it and fixed the problem.
In your basement, take out the carpet from behind the couch to the wall where your kitchen space will be. Put in vinyl plank flooring and get an area rug to put under the dining room table. Or, cut out an area of carpet where your kitchenette is and put tile or linoleum there.
I’d do either a cute oversized mat or put in flooring just in that area. I don’t think it would look weird. It would definitely look weirder to have carpet going up to a fridge and sink lol
I’d definitely keep the carpet like you said to keep it cozy
For the carpet dilemma, just put a mat by sink! Amazon has long kitchen mats.
Or they have big mats you could buy and put in the kitchen area. There are lots of options in that area, long runner kind of mats or a big square mat, or a small mat in front of the sink. Clear, colored, patterned, or even wood looking mats.
I was going to say the same! A mat or a cheap rug. Keep the carpet.
Same, area rugs under the table and near sink that can be easily replaced or kitchen mats that are easily cleaned! Also for the bird situation put up reflective strips.
That's what I was thinking too
That’s what I was thinking or like those clear office type mats…
Re: Basement floors
Do the tile starting behind the couch, and hear me out… HEATED FLOORS! It’ll be perfect! I def think tile is best, you won’t have to stress about food being all over the carpet. Maybe if you are suuuper against tile… an area rug under the table to catch any food?
I love how intentional you are with your language. Words have power and you try to put the beat of yourself out.
For the kitchenette, get one of those giant runner like kitchen floor mats. The Cushion ones. You can get it the same color or close to, and lay it on top of the carpet. It should protect the carpet just fine and be easy to clean.
Idea for kitchenette:
What if you do a kitcehn against the wall & then a bar top/island (but still attached to the wall) where the chairs for the bar will still be carpet, but the kitchen will be tile…. However, you won’t be able to really see the tile/carpet cutoff because the bar will hide the fact that there is tile!
I have a deaf friend who uses subtitles and she just has to ask the movie theater for a little caption screen. It sits in the cup holder and has a bendy arm so she can position the captions in her view while watching the movie. It’s pretty cool!
Succulent potting soil and water them way less than you think you have to… or use ice cubes. (Yes to rocks in the bottom). When they are happy they get BIG with happy roots. It’s a pain to separate and repot. I still love them tho.
The flooring… we have carpet in our basement and we chose the “wood look” ceramic tiles at our Wet Bar area. It’s a narrow long area.
So fun! Love seeing the community in the comments!
oooooooooooooooooooo the Shatter Me series??? I just binged all 6 books in a week and i fell HARD for those books. They are at the top of my favorites list for this year. Would love to see your book content come back! I know some people didnt like it, but im still here for it girl!
I’m here for the book content too!
Not a morning person in the LEAST, but I will be today since there’s a new VLOG! ☺️💓
For the water bottles - they make silicone gripper "boots" for the bottom. They help to keep them from sliding and they also help with them getting so damaged.
To get an idea of what it would look like if part was carpet and some was not, look at where your 1st floor leads into your basement. Like right where the hardwood turns into carpet when you open the door to the basement. That should give you at least a bit of an idea. A lot of apartments have it where your kitchen is like faux tile and then the living room and rest of the house is carpet.
I think just flooring the corner where the kitchen will be will look good make it a statement since it will stand out regardless. Basements are cold so you can make it look really sleek with mixed metals browns and blacks.
And maybe a rug that ties the kitchen colors and basement decor with that plastic matting on top for the dining table
Here’s a deterrent for birds, place a reflective object near the area that they keep making a nest. Birds don’t like reflective objects and it has worked for me.
I would do just a little corner section where the kitchen is at! Like a rounded edge just by the kitchenette area👀 that way a majority of the basement is still carpeted and the sole kitchen area is wood/tile. There’s a lot of the carpet/tile “connector” pieces now unlike before where it was just silver or gold lol.
Chicken wire ball to block the area where the birds build the nest. Or block it off some other way if possible? Love all the home vlogging!! I’m making improvements to my house too.❤
The rock thing should work. Let the soil dry out completely before you water the succulents. Then just give them like 1/4 cup. Put one of those plastic floor coverings like you use for desks over the carpet. Just leave all the carpet.
Suggestion for Nahla shorts: online Old Navy has tall sizes that always have a longer inseam. They even have it for most dresses and rompers. Might be worth checking for her 😊 as a tally with legs for days, I recommend. Especially if you don’t want to spend a ton.
The flooring will look fine if you start behind the couch. Kitchenette on carpet is a nightmare especially if there are plumbing issues or leaks. Just get LPF for that side of the room and under the dining table put a rug to warm it back up
I truly enjoy your vlogs and content so so much! 🥹🩷🩷
I hope Nahla's enjoying her softball season! 🩷 Softball was a huge part of my identity growing up🥹 Jayden is looking fly with his new haircut! 😎
For your nails, let that one heal. Then see if you can either grow them out or get Gel-X then let them grow under. Once they are where you want them find someone who does structured gel (builder gel) overlay on your natural nails. You'll be so much happier & your nails will be healthy.
I would put one of those mats that people use for rolling desk chairs on carpet in the basement. You can probably get one cut to fit the area and the cleanup would be easy
You can put the large anti fatigue mats down by the sink area, we have those by ours and it works well, I just can't get rid of carpet, to me it makes the room cozy and makes it feel like home and you can put a large area rug under the table or just leave as is
Those big plastic/Vinyl floor mats would do. You can get them in clear or they come in all different looks now. Wood floor, tile etc. OR cut out a piece of plywood to the size and shape you need and then put your tile or wood flooring on the plywood. Then it’s not permanent. Also, put up some wind chimes or something so the birds don’t make homes.
I believe that there are special glasses that do subtitles. Yes, I miss 2007! The first Transformers ugh nostalgia.
Dollar Tree has some pretty cute faux succulents believe it or not if you decide to switch up the real ones. Loving seeing this side of you. From Frank & Oscar to a big ole garden! 💚🌿🪴🍅🥦🌰🫑🌽🥦🥕🥬🥔🥒💚🌿🪴
Keep the carpet in your basement for sure! Tile JUST the kitchenette area - it will look completely normal because you’re going to have your cabinets and sink and stuff covering it anyway and you will barely even see the tiled area because you’ll be having get togethers or family time. A mat is going to be too much work to take out and put over the carpet every time or to clean - stuff can still get under it and it just won’t look right at the end of the day. I think that will bother you more than just re-doing the floor. And I think that even if you do get a mat you will end up wanting to redo it to tile at a later time regardless and you’ll wish that you just would’ve done tile from the start. The tile will be less of a hassle at the end of the day and I think you will end up liking it more than you’re thinking you will right now!
Rocks at the bottom, I don't think it will help. It's better to have drainage holes and drown the soil each time you notice it's dry. Also, purchase cactus soil for best results. Hope that helps! I watch too much plant shorts and my back yard is filled with weird plants.
You can totally do a hard floor and a transition to the carpet have it meet the cabinets or like an inch or so further. Or if/when you do all the floor you can do a heated floor.
Regarding the basement kitchen, just cut the carpet to be squared off with the cabinets and put down a cork back luxury vinyl tile/plank with a hardwood transition strip around the perimeter. The cork will make it a bit warmer. Anything is going to look like shit unless it’s the whole floor throughout being redone. Agreed carpet is nice to have in the basement. The alternative is to take the hard surface material to the column line behind the couch and put down an area rug to make it look better. I’m suggesting LVP/LVT because it will give you warmth and wont get damaged from kitchen water or if there’s a flood, it’s perfect for basements
I saw someone with a very similar basement setup and they did what you were saying would look stupid, but I swear to you it won’t! I would just do from the doorframe of that bathroom over to the other wall. You can always get a little washable area rug to warm it up. It will look great with a rug.
For the waterbottles get the rubber boots for them. It helps from the bottom getting damaged.
For the basement: Get a low pile (I think that’s the term) for under the dining table. As far as the kitchenette area it won’t look weird/bad at all to but a waterproof flooring there! When it goes from a tile/waterproof flooring to carpet I don’t think it looks bad or weird at all, think of carpet in a hallway and then the transition to the tile in the bathroom. Totally normal! Also a lot of builders when building homes will do tile/hardwood whatever in the kitchen then the rest of the area has carpet and it’s an upgrade cost to do all one flooring.
i say just tile the area where the kitchenette will be. i dont think it’d look dumb & then if you wanna leave more carpetting, you could put a rug under the dining area for like easier pick up. OR do hardwood/linoleum throughout that whole area with the kitchenette/dining and do a rug still under the dining area for warmer feet area & do a few kitchen rugs in the kitchenette
I think you should put in new flooring from couch back. Typically just a transition piece separates it from carpet. As far as the “cold floors” you could install heated flooring underneath if you do tile.
You would have loved the opera that I went to. It was midsummer night's dream but the best part was that above the stage they actually had closed captioning for the entire show 😅
Hey Chica!!! Maybe try soaking your hand in some warm Epsom salt soak for about 30 minutes. It will soften the nail bead and sanitize all the dirt out. An if you want the nail to just fall off completely and grown a new one. Just do a soak everyday for about a week or 2 the nail should fall off. Hope it helps. One love ✌🏼❤ 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜 🖤
Glass floor mat on top of the carpet. Also, maybe if you put a plastic owl where they are building their nest, usually will scare birds.
What about rubber or foam flooring for the kitchen area? They've even got some that looks like wood tiles, but FOAM! ❤
Ok what if you did go with that line and tile the floor BUT you can put a heating element underneath so that in the colder months, you have the option to turn the floor heat on so it stays warm and still gives that cozy feel. I just think the carpet will end up getting ruined in the kitchenette if you keep it as-is
I have partial carpet, partial linoleum in my house and it doesn’t look dumb 😂😂. I think that would be your best option because I agree that you should keep the carpet in the cozy part.
Wow. Summer vacation. Great you and your family are going camping. I love love your pink sweat shirt.
I use the cabinet above the stove to store seasonal mugs, tumblers, & cups. Now that I think about it I need to purge, it is getting a bit ridiculous now. I tend to buy a new cup every holiday, season change, because it's Tuesday, etc. 😂
For longer shorts you may try old navy! I don't usually like their style but last summer they had crazy options for shorts at like $25-30. All kinds of styles and in seam lengths and a great range of sizes. I haven't checked this year but they'd be stupid not to bring them back!
I have a full kitchen in my basement, I'm talking sink, fridge, oven, microwave, the whole shabang. The kitchen part is vinyl plank floors (no real wood, just in case of moisture), the rest is carpet. The carpet people can roll (tuck it under itself) the carpet to meet the edge of the hard flooring. So the transition is smooth, not a strip or anything. I was nervous about it getting torn up, but it's held up for 5 years. We also have a table similar to yours - so we ended up putting a rug down underneath it, which partially covers most of the transition anyway. It sounds weird but I could send you pictures if you wanted.
I think Sarah, you should do it all the way to the the sofa. Take that carpet out, you can always get like a throw rug. After you know what I'm saying? You know the rugs that you can lay out. You can throw in the wash machine. And if you have little kids that come down there and they still stuff, you can put a right there at the dining room table. And that way they can see the TV. They can eat at the table and that go run your sofa and eat on the sofa. That way, you aint got to worry about them. Spilling it on your sofa. The right there at the table, and they can spill it on the floor not on your rug on your floor to me. It makes sense to take that rogue out. That carpet out all the way to the sofa. That's smart on your part and you can always get like. I said you can always get little rugs and put down there. A rug underneath your dining room table that you can fro into your wash machine. YOUR FRIEND NANETTE 👍❤ FROM TEXAS
I’m reading shatter me too! It’s so good!! I hope she loves it
Louis probably goes out there when you’re not home and talks to the kale, like gives it pep talks 😂 i could see him doing that
Hey SRV, love the vlogs lately, they always make my day! I was super excited and subsequently disappointed with the advertised Costco run. I would really love to see a dedicated Costco haul so we can see what you stock up on when you're there. It might seem boring but I mean, it isn't all that different from your empties videos. We like to know what you like, no matter how mundane it seems to you.
My suggestion for your basement flooring issue would be hardwood or laminate all over and big soft fluffy rugs on areas that are for being cozy.
I can definitely do a dedicated Costco video!
@sarahhhrae Omg, I'm totally geeking out lol Thank you, girl!!
@sarahhhrae I was also thinking that when you do your empties videos (which we all love btw), you can give us feedback on products that you have purchased from Costco too, especially when it's something that you're trying for the first time.
My aunts basement in Illinois (Addison area) had carpet in the kitchen area but the laundry room that also had a shower had tile in the basement. Another storage area was the tile as well. Her basement flooded though and ruined the carpet.
Yea for the rug area just put a heavy duty floor runner/ protector. I have some from the brand Resilia
Most studio apartments with carpets have one patch of tile for the kitchen, so it should look pretty normal.
I’m dealing with a whole lot of water damage right now and I’ve made the decision that any area in my home that can be effected by water the floors have to be waterproof. I have to now replace carpet in my bedroom and I have vinyl flooring in the kitchen and laundry room and those have to be replaced also. It’s a mess. So I would just think about what is something does need cleaned up. How easy is it going to be to clean it up. I’m getting alllll tile I can find lol
A suggestion for the game room- Paint an 80's arcade style border or color block each wall a different vibrant color
I think you should look at pictures of hotel Suite rooms that have a kitchenette and see how they transitioned the floor to carpet. I feel like they only do the "kitchen" area with hard floors and the rest the room is carpeted. I love your basement and can't wait to see what u come up with
get the carpet around kitchenette taken out put down Vinal and there are silver metal strips that connect one flooring type to another also use mats etc where join is if you feel the need to cover join but get the carpet up or wet carpet creates a whole other set of problems ,after see downstairs take out to by couch so under table is vinal as well then over time get mats rugs etc to create cosy vibe while it is user friendly
I love what you have done to your home. I think you should put tile around just the kitchen area. If you have a water leak it would be easier to clean up and you would not have to replace it. I am loving the gardening and recipes!
If you keep knocking it down and they keep building it, try finding something that would make a more suitable place for you, and let them build one until you feel like you can move it without breaking it, and put it there. No promises, but I've done it before and it worked. I've also just put up a bird house with some seed and they've moved on their own.
Maybe get a ruggable runner or small size rug for the kitchenette. That way you can always throw it in the machine if there’s a spill
So carpet situation….you can maybe lay down that plastic that goes over the carpet. It has the spikes on the back. It might be kinda ugly but better than pizza or margarita on your carpet. Also maybe you can buy area rugs (the ones you can rip off and wash) to go on top of the carpet. For easy clean up.
I think if you do the whole area by the kitchenette and under the table then behind the couch starts the carpet it'll look like a normal living situation then it's also easier to clean underneath the table if the kids spill there's no carpet there I think it'll look really good cuz you have good taste
Hey Sarah thanks for the peek at Ashley miss seeing her on your videos....wow RIP to Jaden's pony, didn't realize it was that long 😮
Sarah…I realize this video was days ago and you may have already figured out your nail dilemma. Just wanted to share that due to an autoimmune disorder I have my nails split into the skin underneath and peel down the sides and I end up with the starts of infection a lot after having had my hands in whatever I’ve done for the day. The thing that I’ve found to help the most is using an average size mug, putting 3 heaping tablespoons of baking soda in it, and filling it with as hot of water as I can tolerate having my finger in. Mix the water and baking soda with a spoon and then soak your finger until the water is no longer hot. If there is baking soda still at the bottom of the mug, I refill it with hot water mix it and soak it again. I do this morning and night for several days. It keeps things clean and pulls out dirt/infection. It’s a super easy and inexpensive solution that has helped me a lot!
I know I'm late with the comment but you could totally do tile or laminate just by the kitchen. I had carpet in my dining room/kitchen and then laminate in the cooking area. It looked nice. I still have tile by my front door right next to my hardwood. Just a transition separating the two different floors.
Oh hey if you are storing jam for an extended time you do really need the pectin. If you’re eating the jam right away then you can skip it by just cooking the jam down a LOT. There are ways to make pectin but they aren’t very easy.
For the carpet in the basement just get one of those large mats i believe they make some that look like tile or wood.
I think you should tile (love the wood looking tile) from the support beam back, if not, definitely in the kitchen area! good luck!
For the basement sink what about getting some of those big thick restaurant like mats with the cushion like they sell at Costco and Sams. You can place /line them up around the splash and crumb zones. That or you can go grandma style and get some of those clear runners with the spikes at the bottom for that area too.
Like someone else said, dont water your succulents often. like i can go ancouple months without. Also, every once in a while try tipping the pot upside down so the water in the rocks can drain. The soil matters too. It needs to be fast draining including things like chunks or bark, sand, etc.
Sarah. The basement floor they can cut out an area of the carpet and put a nice saddle (not sure what it’s called) to divide it. Just add a nice floor that matches the carpet. I did it in my old house and my sister did it in hers. I had them oval the outline and it looked nice. Also have them start it at the table so easy clean up.
every apartment i lived in had lino in the kitchen only with transitions, so it seems normal. usually it was some weird flooring they got on deal. To keep it modern and practical, I'd just use a tone of laminate or lpv that's the same tone as your carpet, then it'll 'read' as a solid color but still be easy to keep clean (less weird???).
Personally id take the carpet up just where the kitchen will be and put a small island to break the transition of the different floorings.
I think you should do the floor in a triangle from the door to the corner to the window. If you do, it would enphasize that its a corner kitchen, especially if you pick a triangle design on the tile/flooring.
i have seen houses that have two different floorings to sperate the kitchenet area and it looks real nice it doesn't look dumb it looks nice
Girl im only like 2 hours from you,Im also in the midwest,Do not get rid of your carpet,our basment was freezing without the carpet. I'll never regret putting carpet in when we finished our basment.
Also, your hair is good girl, you don't need the extensions! 💛✨️
I think it’s ok to put the floor there and have it meet the carpet, I would add the floor all the way to the back of the couches so that your table is under it as well. As long as you have someone install it right the carpet will get tucked under the edging of the hardwood floor and can look really nice.
Succulents the less you love them the more they love you. Give a solid watering once the soil is really dry. rinse and repeat.
