- Welcome to the transformation of our 1840 farmhouse bathroom! 🚿✨ In this video, join us on a journey as we breathe new life into this historic space, preserving its charm while incorporating modern comforts.
🏡 About the Farmhouse:
Our farmhouse, nestled in the Cumberland Valley of Central Pennsylvania has a rich history dating back to the 19th century. This bathroom remodel project allowed us to honor its heritage while embracing the comforts of the present. Naturally, the original farmhouse didn't have an indoor bathroom, but we tried to reflect the decor of the time.
Don & Brenda do all of the work on this DIY project. We share our challenges and our successes.
No one knows what's behind the walls... after 5 complet Re- models and 2 gut jobs after opening up walls, I so get it!
Y'all are doing a fantastic job!! Looks great and I cannot wait to see more.
Blessings ❤
It's always an adventure, that's for sure.
We've been in our 70's era house for 5 years, I am no carpenter, plumber, etc.
My wife's cousin started a bathroom remodel with a tub like yours, except it was avocado green. So we get the complete tub and surround. Then my father in law who was very overweight uses a folding chair as a shower chair.
Offered to pay for the epoxy to fix the hole...
.
God bless his soul.
.
So now I need a new tub and surround, we had well water and it stained everything terribly.
.
I am encouraged by your bathroom. My aunt Loretta has the same wood in her bathroom painted it a bright sunny yellow with red trim.

Loved your 1st solar project. Maybe you could do a video comparing your 3 electric cars?
The smallest rooms are always a bit tricky and the bathroom is going to look amazing. Looking forward to seeing if finished.
This is the smallest bathroom we've ever had and it was VERY tricky. We're thrilled with how it's turning out. Thanks for watching!
Your beadboard looks very nice. It will be fun picking out the paint and doing the finishing touches. Job well done😊
I've always liked beadboard and I'm thrilled with how it's turning out. THANKS!
You two are a class act. Love the progress. Old houses have lots of surprises! --Some quirky, some lovely, others make you wanna cry...or laugh...
Thanks for the kind words. Yes, old houses are a constant adventure. Thanks for watching!
Sooooo much better!
Thanks! It was pretty bad.....we're thankful we finally got around to tackling it.
Looking great! Another trick for marking a cut-out is to use a bright lipstick (from the dollar store😉) on the item you need to cut out for, then press your wall material to it. My husband did this for marking the outline of electrical boxes on the back of wall material for his new shop. Brenda, it's a good thing you love to paint! Looking forward to the finishing phase.
That's a GREAT idea! He can use that on all of the future beadboard projects I'm dreaming about. 😊
So glad I came upon your channel! Enjoy watching the remodeling of the bathroom! Doing a great job and can not wait to see it done and decorated! 😊
Glad you found us. We're thrilled with how it's turning out. Thanks for watching!
You made the best decision in keeping that bathtub!! We have the same one in our 1890 farmhouse. Large sturdy bathtub. Newer tubs are cheap and small and uncomfortable! Also its good that you always keep the original character to whatever you are doing.
Yes, we're happy with our decision. We're trying to keep it with the feel of the farmhouse. There's no way to keep it 'original' since in 1840 there wouldn't have been a bathroom. 😁 I'm sure you have plenty of adventures in your 1890 farm house. Thanks for watching!
I’m so happy to hear it’s only essential tremor - I noted that in prior videos and didn’t feel it was appropriate to ask. Glad you’re healthy and able to do all the stuff you love!
Thank you for the note. I've had the tremors for so long that I'm comfortable with them...but I don't want our new friends to be uncomfortable watching me deal with the challenge. I feel blessed to be in good health. Thanks for watching. Don.
I have the same flooring in our master bath. Love it, easy to clean, is hold up well and looks good!
I was hoping to use the original pine floor, but this is a much better option for a bathroom. We're really happy with how it looks.
14:18 It's looking great! Growing up, when my mom would do a quick project, she'd say she was going for a "rustic" finish to excuse the less than square/straight areas. 😂 I've adopted the same mentality
We like the "rustic" way of doing things. 😊
I am glad you are both in great health!!! You enjoy your farm life because it's pretty special:))
Thank you....yes, good health is a gift at any age! Thanks for watching.
I really like the bead board. I can't wait to see the next phase. Thanks for sharing with us.
I've always loved beadboard and I'm thrilled that it worked in this project. Thanks for watching!
We have a ranch style home that is 61 years old and both bathrooms are small, so small you couldn't whip a cat in. Lol. We have tile and I know that it is going to be a mess like yours, so you picking the bead board was a wonderful idea. I can not wait to see the finished product!
I love beadboard. It gives it an old fashioned look. Good luck with your project. 😊
My mom has the same benign tremor! Never heard of anyone else with it! You guys are amazing with all you do and I so enjoy watching your videos!
Hi, this is Don. Thanks for your support and for watching. Please tell your mother about a med that offers some relief...a bata blocker called Propranolol. Her doc could tell her if it is right for her. I just started and it reduces tremors by half for me. Take care.
@@waardenburgfamilyfarm4764 thank you I will let her know!
My next paint job will be in the kitchen and I’m going with White again and now that kitchen doesn’t have sheet rock. It has the original 1925 paneling it’s a flat paneling almost like it’s not lead Ward it’s on I don’t know what you would call it but it’s really cool so still work because you got a paint it maybe two or three times
It's always good to add that extra coat....even though it can be a pain at times.
Understand the hand trimmer my husband has had that for almost 50 years y’all done a great job ❤
Thanks! We're really happy with how it's turning out.
Love it and ya guys together are a Great team ..My husband and I are always doing DIYs in this 1925 small home (my childhood home)mom left it to me .. been here 22 years and we started out strong remodeling the restroom adding a restroom redoing the kitchen and then we started painting all the rooms. Well in 22 years I hadn’t done no updates so now we’re back at it with painting, we moved the laundry room from the hallway to the back restroom, but painting is the best thing over. It gives you such a new perspective with the color and all that and to tell you the truth I had a lot of color in the rooms and now I’m going with white and black trim and then I can add accent colors.
It's always fun doing a room over and changing colors/other things. It keeps the house feeling fresh. Thanks for the kind words! We enjoy working together.
Wow, lotsa work guys! I bought my hubby a magnetic wristband to hold screws and nails, etc. While he is using tools. I need one for my sewing projects next. It is so handy on these kind of projects. Good luck on the finishing details.
Thanks! I'm gonna have to look into the magnetic wristband. (I'm just wondering how long it will take for him to break the habit of putting them in his mouth and actually use it. haha
I got my hubby's on Amazon.
Looking good! Yall work so well together! Looking forward to seeing the finished product! Have a great week!
Thanks. We enjoy working on projects together. We're thrilled with how it's turning out.
I love watching you guys! 😊
Thanks!!!
I cannot wait to see your design ideas!!! You did a great job on the remodel:)
Thanks! We're thrilled with how it's turning out.
Está ficando muito bom…acredito que o final será primoroso…🤩🥳
Estamos entusiasmados com o resultado. É uma sensação boa finalmente ver tudo ficando lindo.
You’re so funny In my team I have all these visions in my head on projects and my husband says I don’t see it I don’t see it I said just finish and then you’ll see it and then he does it and he’s like you’re right he couldn’t see the vision, but I canand it always works out great. He also has doubts a lot of times but it works out great in the end.
Donny used to doubt me and be nervous about my plans, but after 42 years he's used to my 'sometimes crazy' ideas.
Great job, we have to do water damage remodel in our home . We hope it goes as easy as what yours looked like. God bless
Thanks! Hopefully your water damage won't create too many challenges. GOOD LUCK!
Fun to see your creativity. I’m wondering if your bath would be a good spot to install a sliding bath door so you don’t have to open a door into such a small bath.
It would take some creative thought to find the right latch but could be a great way to create more space in the bathroom.
Unfortunately, there's not enough room either inside the bathroom or outside. The hallway up there is very tiny too. (In a farmhouse, pretty much everything from that era is tiny) I love picket doors and tried to think of a way/place to use them, but it just isn't meant to be in this old house. Thanks for the suggestion.
Good job. I thought maybe you would have kept the brick exposed. 😊
There was no way to leave it explsed in this case because of the room being so small. The previous owners left those two sections exposed on the first floor because the outside wall became an inside wall when they added an adition. We also have no idea what condition all of the brick is in or if there are holes cut in the walls for windows, door..... If it was a larger bathroom we might have been able to experiment more. I do love the secions that we can see.
Uhhh. Darn that would have been awesome to have. But you will have a beautiful bathroom when you are done. You have a great decorating talent
