What a wonderful job you’ve done! It’s lovely to see a young family improving their fixer-upper as they can and on a budget. It’s absolutely perfect! Speaking for absolutely everyone, Congratulations! May you have many years of happiness in your home. ❤️❤️
What a fabulous transformation inside and outside your house. You saved so much money because your husband is a fine carpenter. Love your backyard. The kitchen painted white looks awesome.
I really enjoy your videos! Your mom is awesome. Your husband reminds me of my son-in-law, but he is Australian. I like your declutterring and design style. Keep making videos and giving inspiration to us all!
Thank you! Finally, someone who decorates the way the rest of us do. Most of us 'evolve' spaces, rather than 'transform' them. I love what you've done.
You are amazing! Great job!! Even your Mom is a wonderful hard worker. You are so blessed to have a husband who can do all these things for you. The home and yard are looking great and I would love to see the kitchen remodel after it is completed. 👍 JohnBeans wife
Oh lovely lady sooooooo glad you're back. Our renovations have now struck the two bedrooms where we chucked everything to be sorted later 😮 we'll it's now later and am in full swing in 10 minute increments of sorting and decluttering. It's amazing how much you can achieve. The rest of the house is sparkling thanks to the Diane's way as hubby calls it. Never underestimate the positive effect you have on so many people. Rah rah rah happy Tuesday ❤
You are so right about the home improvement shows. We would always laugh at how they would claim “it only took 1 gallon of paint” or “we did this over the weekend” or “it only cost $100.” What great work you have done. I so enjoy watching you and your mom!
What I love about your videos Shannon is you sharing real life home improvements with kids, and just everyday life! You guys did such a wonderful job.💛
I am 20 years into my fugly house and I loved watching your journey to getting your house going in the direction you want. I can SO relate to the mess, the required patience and holding onto the vision. Once my mortgage was out of the way I was able to double down on the projects and I’m finally seeing the dusty dreams being realized. Your home is lovely! 🥰
gorgeous! all of it! Thank you for keeping it real with everything. Life does "evolve" and it changes ad your kids age as well. When my youngest was born, I had a changing table in my living room! There was no way I could take my eyes off of the older two in order to go into the nursery to change her. Luckily that only lasted a few years.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤I just found your channel I continued watching ,I subscribed to your channel not only to see the updates of your home ,but it's some of the things u Said and show that u are a real person U talk about updating your home when u have the time and money Love it Stay real and by the way your updates are gorgeous
It takes most people years to refresh or completely redo a home. My husband and I lived a lifetime before we finally redid our two bathrooms. It was done when we retired. 😂
Shannon! I did it! Decluttered my coffee table! Thx to the inspiration of you, your mom & her dresser! I loved it, but It was too big for the room & the surface wasn't serving me. Donated to our city mission. I didn't know we were "allowed" to not have a coffee table or break up the set! Love your simple living ideas!❤ P.S. I knew you would be proud of me! 😂
Shannon, I think what you both have done is absolutely amazing. It gets more beautiful with every project you do. I really admire you. You and your husband are so smart to plan and not go into debt for your home improvements. It’s an awesome thing to see how grateful you are for what you have right now. And side note - your kids are learning such valuable lessons from you about how to appreciate what they have. A rare example today.
I’m a new subscriber and are looking back on some of your older videos. So much respect for you and your husband. I feel like so many people think they need to go to college for degrees that will not sustain them for the future and skills like car mechanics, plumbing, electrical, roofing, finish carpentry, etc. are just being lost. We recently had some remodeling done and our contractor told us that it is so hard to find skilled workers or even people willing to apprentice. Also, we lived with linoleum in our kitchen for 20 years. It was textured as well and it was never clean. Finally, just last year we got LVP installed in most of our home. Thanks for this dose of reality in the home improvement world.
Thank you for being here. I actually do have my bachelor's degree, and my husband is a master carpenter with an official training certificate in NZ (where he is from) but I do agree with what you are saying. There are many ways to make a living without a degree. For me, the learning never stops but that's because I love to learn new things and most of that is from hands-on experience as you mentioned. =)
What a beautiful and realistic (affordable) renovation to each of the spaces! Personally, I would die to have old wood floors (we just get concrete slabs in AZ). Resand and stain with a medium-light gray (for your color preference) then seal. Save money and get fresh ‘new’ floors… Whallah!!
Shannon you and your husband have really improved your home a lot. I love that you’ve done all the improvements yourself. It helps to have a handy husband! I love that you are doing things a little at a time so you don’t get into debt. My husband and I renovated our house just like you two.
I think the house and yard look wonderful. You guys got more energy than I could ever muster up. We plant a Hugh garden but it takes a lot of energy which covid zapped me of.
Your home is lovely and cozy. I really like the length of the mantle you and Grant chose. Rather than the whole width of fireplace, this gives the area a balanced look and great eye appeal ✅💕
I absolutely love all your videos, thank you for sharing. I wanted to share something with you that I've noticed that might help you. The end of your videos come very quickly and I find I have to rewind it to enable me to "like" it, which I know helps you. So I'd just say do your "thank you for subscribjng" a bit earlier and add a reminder to like the video, I think it could really increase the number of likes you're getting and really help you out. Keep up the fab work, you're so inspiring. 😊
You two are miracle workers❤ And I for one LOVES a white kitchen👍🏻And oh my Gosh, the updated fireplace is amazing as is the beautiful back yard👍🏻 Ladies don’t marry for $$ marry a man like Grant that is great at remodeling 😁👍🏻 Shannon, get the book “Square Foot Gardening”, it would add a lot to your raised beds👍🏻🙂
The sitting area in front of the fireplace is great. A colorful rug will help to break up all the gray. I love the three pieces of art by the barn door. Maybe you could move the lamp to between two of the canvases and a couple smaller pieces on the other side. The art is beautiful, don't cover it. Love, love love the back yard!!! Great job with all your changes, you guys!
Wow!! What an amazing transformation of your house Shannon ❤ I’ve been watching your channel for a year now and I’ve learned A LOT from you ❤ Thank you Shannon ❤
Hi Shannon! Beautiful transformation . We moved from a condo (never again!) into OUR first SFH right before Thanksgiving and we are loving it! It is a 1995 fixer upper, but brick front, great fenced in yard, beautifully landscaped front yard (including 4 rose bushes), and in a great established neighborhood We have painted the master bedroom (they had painted it purple😂), and had to install a hot water heater but aside from that everything else can wait Just painting needed and some carpet removal/new floor on our Carolina Room/screened in porch. Very thankful to be in this home!!! Enjoy your videos very much Fellow Boy mom x 3 from SC.😊💕🎉
Hey, Gordon Ramsey renovates a whole place overnight on Kitchen Nightmares! lol Seriously, tho, our first home was def a fixer upper. We worked on it for 11 years, and then had to move. Some young woman with a little boy bought it. It sold immediately. It was a lot of work but ended up looking great! I really enjoyed this video, and your home transformation over the years. I like all of your videos. It is cool that you involve the kids, and your mom and you have fun together.
Can't believe you have been in this house for so many years already, i remember when you first bought it. I must have watched you channel for several years already 😮❤
I am a designer and even though this isnt a full remodel you did a fantastic job of creating calmness and beauty in a simplistic way! Fantastic job :).
You’re so lucky to have your mom and a great relationship with her. I so miss my mom, 🥲 Nice to see that you do not take her for granted and how much you love her, so nice to watch. Great video.💓
I just love the way you improve your home.! You are so lucky to have a husband who is a Carpenter and willing to do all the work. 👍
What a wonderful job you’ve done! It’s lovely to see a young family improving their fixer-upper as they can and on a budget. It’s absolutely perfect! Speaking for absolutely everyone, Congratulations! May you have many years of happiness in your home. ❤️❤️
What a fabulous transformation inside and outside your house. You saved so much money because your husband is a fine carpenter. Love your backyard. The kitchen painted white looks awesome.
Thank you for sharing your 4 year makeover as a mother with 4 boys you inspire me to do small projects within my home 😊
I really enjoy your videos! Your mom is awesome. Your husband reminds me of my son-in-law, but he is Australian. I like your declutterring and design style. Keep making videos and giving inspiration to us all!
Thank you! Finally, someone who decorates the way the rest of us do. Most of us 'evolve' spaces, rather than 'transform' them. I love what you've done.
Thank you! 😊
Absolutely!❤
You all did a great job! Your home looks amazing 😍.
I think whatever you and your family likes is what you should have in your home. If you guys like it is all that matters.
You are amazing! Great job!! Even your Mom is a wonderful hard worker. You are so blessed to have a husband who can do all these things for you. The home and yard are looking great and I would love to see the kitchen remodel after it is completed. 👍

This entire house is absolutely beautiful
I just find your channel last night. And I love everything am seeing❤👍
I can watch this video over and over. It's amazing.
Lovely renovation ideas, and as a kiwi, loved seeing your NZ art on your walls.
Stunning makeover. Please add a goldfish pond, it will require very little maintenance and add a beautiful focus point for the garden.
This might just be the most motivating video on the internet. ❤
Wow, thank you!
You are so right about the home improvement shows. We would always laugh at how they would claim “it only took 1 gallon of paint” or “we did this over the weekend” or “it only cost $100.” What great work you have done. I so enjoy watching you and your mom!
It looks so good❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You and your husband have done such a wonderful job making your house a 'home'! I really like that u kept the 1950''s vibe in the kitchen. :)
Thank you so much!
What I love about your videos Shannon is you sharing real life home improvements with kids, and just everyday life! You guys did such a wonderful job.💛
Thank you so much!!
Awesome haka bro! I'm from New Zealand 🇳🇿 yayah! Represent that's the one ❤💪

Your home is lovely! 🥰
Yay! It's so much work. That is great you are making your home how you want it too. I am sure it looks beautiful!
It was a lot of work, but the garden looks so beautiful and welcoming. I especially love the lights!

You have done an amazing renovation to your house as well as yard. Look forward to watching future videos.
Thanks so much!
What a delightful family you are including grandma,❣️Not afraid of hard work!We applaud you👍
The variation is very nice & matching colours with the white cabinets as well as it's the style nowadays.
Congrats

He sounds like a kiwi. This is so nice guys. I can’t wait to buy a home and do this
Spotted NewZealand in your map. Knew his accent was telling
You and your husband did a wonderful job on all your renovations! Love watching your progress! 👏👏👏
Thanks so much! 😊

Great Job . I love watching your mum she is funny. Nice family❤
I love the colors design in your house and nice big, cozy backyard.
Super well done! ❤
It takes most people years to refresh or completely redo a home. My husband and I lived a lifetime before we finally redid our two bathrooms. It was done when we retired. 😂
That was such a huge yard transformation from what you started with. It's beautiful!
Thanks so much! 😊
Goodness, y'all have achieved so much in these past few years! Everything looks so good!
Thank you so much!
Love the mom and daughter groovy achievement dances. 😀
Shannon! I did it! Decluttered my coffee table! Thx to the inspiration of you, your mom & her dresser! I loved it, but It was too big for the room & the surface wasn't serving me. Donated to our city mission.

Yay! That is awesome. I bet you have way more room now. =)

Oh, my word! Your back yard is gorgeous. Good job, family! All jobs inside and out were well done. You home is so inviting. Enjoy!
Well done completing and paying as you go. So many get in way over their heads with extra loans. You’ve worked hard and looks great

Incredible transformation. So blessed to have your Mom working with y'all.

You and your husband are a great reno team.

agree with you on painting the cupboards! did the same thing.. sometimes it’s the only way
You are really helping me.
It’s unrecognizable!
Your home is lovely and cozy. I really like the length of the mantle you and Grant chose. Rather than the whole width of fireplace, this gives the area a balanced look and great eye appeal ✅💕

Subscribed today after watching how relatable this video is- finally some realistic home improvement- thank you!
Thanks for subbing! I hope you have a wonderful day.
People need to relax ... these videos are really to forget life and just enjoy without having to think. 😂❤
What an amazing amount of work you did in such a short amount of time! The garden is SO lovely - well done! 🙋♀️🥰‼️
You two are miracle workers❤
And I for one LOVES a white kitchen👍🏻And oh my Gosh, the updated fireplace is amazing as is the beautiful back yard👍🏻
Ladies don’t marry for $$ marry a man like Grant that is great at remodeling 😁👍🏻
Shannon, get the book
“Square Foot Gardening”, it would add a lot to your raised beds👍🏻🙂
The sitting area in front of the fireplace is great. A colorful rug will help to break up all the gray. I love the three pieces of art by the barn door. Maybe you could move the lamp to between two of the canvases and a couple smaller pieces on the other side. The art is beautiful, don't cover it. Love, love love the back yard!!! Great job with all your changes, you guys!
Is so awesome to see the way the family works together. Your husband works so hard, he is a great help
Suggestion for the mint corral it in a chimney flue and put it deep in the ground so the roots can't spread so easily
29:23 the art looks so perfect on that wall!! 👏
Wow!! What an amazing transformation of your house Shannon ❤
I’ve been watching your channel for a year now and I’ve learned A LOT from you ❤
Thank you Shannon ❤
Dear Shannon, I love your videos. Ditto to all of these comments. ❤
Y’all did a beautiful job. Husband is great with the improvements. Wonderful, wonderful AFTER. Oldest son looks just like dad.
Hi Shannon! Beautiful transformation . We moved from a condo (never again!) into OUR first SFH right before Thanksgiving and we are loving it!
It is a 1995 fixer upper, but brick front, great fenced in yard, beautifully landscaped front yard (including 4 rose bushes), and in a great established neighborhood
We have painted the master bedroom (they had painted it purple😂), and had to install a hot water heater but aside from that everything else can wait
Just painting needed and some carpet removal/new floor on our Carolina Room/screened in porch.
Very thankful to be in this home!!!
Enjoy your videos very much

What a wonderful record of your hard work and diligence! It's just beautiful! 😊
Y’all did such a good job
You’re so lucky to have your mom and a great relationship with her. I so miss my mom, 🥲 Nice to see that you do not take her for granted and how much you love her, so nice to watch. Great video.💓
I've seen a clear sealer for the rocks/ pebbles so that they don't move.
