I’m a retired I Interior Designer and we would use spray silicone on drapery rods which made them slide much easier.

While I love to live vicariously through you with this home, I miss your craft DIYs. Especially your knock out DT crafts every once in a blue.

Natalee, My gracious you look really healthy and are glowing! Keep up the great things you’re doing for your health because, viewers love YOU!

Agree I dislike vertical blinds too - very 80’s plus office looking.

You are a blessing to everyone who watches you. May God continue to bless you and your family.

I appreciate the desire to hurry and change things, but admire you for sitting with it and not rushing the changes.

After 11 years of granite in my kitchen i changed it for a marble quartz. It looks amazing. I love the idea of built-ins!! Can't wait to go along your remodel journey.

I might be in the minority, but doing laundry is by far my FAVORITE household chore!! I love the clean smell as I'm folding it, and like your mom, I find it relaxing to do while I'm watching something on TV. I love a clean bathroom, but that is definitely my LEAST favorite room to clean. Your new home is so beautiful and I can't wait to see how you transform it!! These videos are fun, but I really love your DIY craft videos, too! Thanks for sharing your ideas and projects!! ❤

Yes! Yes please! Laundry room makeover.

YOU CAN MAKE THAT STONE FIREPLACE MANTLE !!!… I KNOW YOU CAN…A LITTLE CHALLENGING BUT YOU GOT THAT !!!! KAREN FROM FLORIDA 🌴💕 YOUR NEW HOME IS GORGEOUS !!

If the pantry doors would match the design and color of the cabinets, if would pull the kitchen together. The laundry room with built in cabinets, pretty curtains, and a chandelier! So glad you are planning on repainting.

I highly recommend quartz counters. I got mine two years ago during our remodel. It is carefree and everyone comments on it.😍

We have 6 grandkids. For 6 years I took care of one granddaughter and 18 months later, we were blessed with another grandson! I took care of the babies, cleaned house and did All Of the laundry. I LOVED IT! It's cathartic, brings order to chaos, I loved all of the little, tiny clothes. I love it! In fact, 6 years later, I'm helping them with housework and laundry once again. It would be so nice to have a beautiful space to do laundry in! I wish our home had one, too! My husband tried putting in cupboards with counter tops. To be honest, the flooring looks terrible. The drywall job looks terrible. The paint on the drywall looks terrible. I can't tell him this as I don't want to hurt his feelings! I think it should all be torn out and start all over! He just retired, so we have the time to change it now. Keeping my fingers crossed that I can talk him into trying it again! And praying that the outcome is much better than attempt #1!🫢🤭🤫🤔🤐🤨😬

I think that frosted glass doors on your pantry would look nice .

I am in love with cement countertops. Stained cement with brick floors in the kitchen. I love that French country look❤❤❤

Our house had a touchless faucet when we moved in. At first it was fun and novel, but then the sensor stopped working (which Ferguson told me is common) and it wouldn't turn on at all -- you had to tap it 20 times for it to finally turn on or off. I replaced it with a regular faucet about 2 years ago don't miss it at all. Your videos are SO FUN and nicely done! Thank you for your Can-Do Spiriit!!

Yes to the stone mantel!! I love it too, so if you decide to do it…..I’m in!

I would remove that step up on the kitchen island . We did ours it it’s sooo much more practical. Also quartzite is a beautiful durable option for counters that’s as durable as granite , heat resistant and stain resistant. Can’t wait to see all your re-dos !

I like laundry when it’s all put away and the baskets are empty. Great ideas!

Soooo happy for you! You're new home is stunning! I cannot wait to see how you work your magic on it! You are SO talented girl, it just amazes me! 😁

Anxiously awaiting your future closet mirror video! We have the same mirrored doors and I would love to see how the grids change the look!

I am fairly new to your channel but love your videos, talent, creativity, taste, and style! We are a lot alike in all of those ways..it makes me wish I could just sit down with you and we could share tons of ideas. Our family of 5 lost our forever home on 1/7/21 to a house fire…thank the good Lord we all, including pets, made it out safe. (Our cat did have to be rescued and after a firefighter busted out my son’s upstairs bedroom window he jumped out…paws, tail, ears burned, whiskers singed) did have to spend the night at the animal hospital but he recovered very well!). We spent the next year and a half divided into two campers on our property while we rebuilt our home. I’ll just say it’s been tremendously overwhelming! We moved in before a few things were complete because being stuffed into those campers was a nightmare! Our home is everything we could want and then some..but would be better if we could tie up several loose ends….which brings me to think about the seating you’re loving for your breakfast nook. Don’t get me wrong..I completely understand when you’re in love with and dead set on an idea…and if you do it, you may love it! I know that’s the seating we had in one of the campers..and yes, space was extremely limited…but never the less…extremely not functional at all! I am with you on a round table…I think they’re more personal..especially for a breakfast nook. I’ve always had a round table..we have an oval now because with kids getting older and meeting significant others…needing more space to sit. Your fireplace in the living room/great room is tall like mine. I chose a very timeless large stone that has hues of very light grays, pale tans, and off whites…and a brick veneer accent. Maybe in the recessed areas of yours, brick veneers would look beautiful and timeless! When I saw your back porch area and your fireplace idea, I immediately thought of a built-in (like you’re talking about, floor to ceiling)…but instead of corner, what about the kind that has not only the glass front, but the glass side..it would give almost a wrap around/see through kind of appearance. Also, I have a Kohler touchless faucet in my kitchen and in my laundry room which is right off my bedroom/closet and the garage. I will say that’s one of the best investments in this house with messy hands for whatever reason…very nice and convenient! I’m like you and am in love with animal print. I have touches of it all through most of my house. I haven’t finished decorating my downstairs 1/2 bath yet but I have things bought to finish it. On the wall with the sink, I have bought a blackish/gray crocodile print wallpaper (that is textured) that we ordered from Home Depot. I can’t wait to see it and the sconce lights and everything finished. But that would be beautiful in your laundry room too on an accent wall..and maybe some shiplap. I love shiplap and I think it’s way too stereotyped to the “farmhouse” look. To me it can be combined with several different looks…I personally love and go between French country and British tropical Colonial …which brings in the animal prints and plants. I have two Birds of Paradise (they would look beautiful in your home too) and two palm plants on either side of my fireplace in tall Planters). Sorry this was so long..I know your home will be beautiful! I can’t wait to see what you do😍

I know if anyone can figure out how to do a concert look fireplace mantel it is YOU!! Your creativity astounds me!! Can’t wait to see what you do in your new house to make it a home!!🥰

My family thinks I'm crazy laundry is my favorite thing to do. Absolutely wonderful video I would appreciate more

You are such a resplendent, radiant person...! So positive too. It's such a pleasure to listent to you and watch your videos. Thanks for sharing you ideas.

Hi Natalee! So excited to watch your latest episode! Wishing you and your family all the best in this new year and new home! ❤❤❤

My daughters house came with black granite, she didn’t like it at all, so she changed it out, and kept the old granite for a future outdoor kitchen.

My plumber talked me out a touch less faucet. Said he has had major problems them within the first year after installation. And that has been consensus with other people that I have talked to. As for the laundry room, go for it. It will make a huge difference for your mental state. Make sure you add a hanging area to it besides closed cabinets. I love mine very much and having a surface to fold is wonderful. I can't wait for the rebuilding of the family room fireplace wall. The demo should be fun!

Your new house is so pretty and cannot wait to see what you come up with for it. So happy for you and your family

I love your idea of the build in your kitchen nook. That sounds beautiful! And I can't wait to see what you build & create!❤ Maybe you can use your entertainment center in your craft room! Maybe those open slots yo7 could put all of your vinyl, cricut machine, and accessories!🤪❤️ I would love to see your mantle build.❤ I love the window bench idea!❤ I love what you want to do for your pantry doors!❤ What do you think about a large frosted door trimmed out? I think that would be gorgeous!❤ I love, love the idea of putting a pattern runner on the stairs!❤ Oh my goodness, NataLee! 😮 I am so fascinated by your bedroom chandelier! The way the fan blades come out of the top and circulates the air! Amazing! That is just so facinating! I've never seen one of those before!😮 I love it!❤ Thank you for sharing!❤ Yes, NataLee, I love the idea of your guest room French doors painted black with the glass frosted! That will be gorgeous!❤ I definitely would love to see more videos like this one! As always, NataLee, thank you for sharing all of your amazing ideas! Stay safe, healthy, and positive! God bless you and your family! 😊❤️🇺🇸😊

Touchless faucets are like touchless soap dispensers or paper towel dispensers, which we have in the bathroom at work. They only turn on motion closeup. With the faucet some will run for a certain amount of time; like 15 seconds. Then you need to wave in front of the eye where the motion sensor is again.

I am excited for all this space that you can unleash your creativity on! And we'll get to see it all too! Can't wait! Fellow fan of picture molding 😊

I have vertical blinds and I rent. I removed each piece and wrapped them up and stored them. I left the valance up and installed a tension bar and put up curtains. Vertical blinds are so 90’s and look cheap even though they’re expensive to purchase. I love doing laundry. I can do it at 6 am or 11 pm. I only put my clothes and towels and sheets away, my husband has to put his clothing away. My laundry room is off of the master bedroom so no biggie for me. I didn’t have a washer and dryer in my home for years and so appreciate NOT having to go to the laundromat. Tfs and congratulations on your new home. Have a wonderful day.🤗

I am the same when it comes to laundry! I dream of having a magically gorgeous laundry room that inspired me to do better in this area! I'm so looking forward to watching & learning from you in this space!!! My vision includes a chandelier & though we've got plans to put in fandeliers throughout or home, I never thought to include the laundry room until now!! Thanks for all you do!

Love the animal print…it never goes out of style. Go for it in my opinion

Your home is beautiful! I know you have to be so excited to get your projects going. Congratulations 🍾

I love these kinds of videos. Seeing your ideas are awesome! I love the ideas! You go girl!

Thank you for sharing your ideas & all the inspo pics! We appreciate you!

Ohhh so exciting to see all these design ideas! It will be fun watching you diy your new home, love your ideas so far!! 💕💕💕💕

I love the mirror fix for the bedroom. Great idea!

Countertops!!!!!!! We renovated our 1963 home with 1980s upgrades over several years with the intention of selling. Ir was done with a LOT of sweat equity and help from a contractor friend. The countertops in the kitchen were vintage 1963 bright lime green !!!!! We ended up using poured epoxy from Stonecoat Countertops and they were gorgeous looking Carrera marble when we were done….for a fraction of the cost!!!!!! It really was easy…. There’s just a LOT of prep work. Not terrible… just a bit tedious but a must. I’m so glad we did because it can get messy. …. Put plastic bags over your shoes and be sure to put lots of plastic sheeting down AND that rolled paper over the top for a walkway. We are going to do it again in our next home! It really was easy peasy! There are so many wonderful instructional videos out there and on that site. The possibilities are endless… oh, and instead of tiling the backsplash we opted for a slab that we cut and fit beforehand (remember to make it a fraction smaller to fit after pouring epoxy) and glued to the wall. Very sleek and modern! Hope you give it a whirl!

YES NataLee! Would love to see more videos! Your new home is stunning, and I’m thrilled to be able to watch you as you incorporate new decor!!! ❤

One consideration before you install all the molding: caulking it may be tedious, but it's a one time thing. DUSTING, however, needs to be done all the time. Wiping down all the molding all the time is necessary if you want it to look good, and it's sort of a pain. It seems to collect visible dust easily. (We change our furnace filters regularly, too.) Take it from someone who has a lot of white and pale colored walls with molding!

I am So excited to see all the new projects as you beautify and personalize your new home!! ❤❤

I love all you’re ideas can’t wait to see the changes in you’re beautiful home.

Thank you. So many beautiful ideas you have for your new home, I’m so excited to follow you through all of them.

I used nice, thick curtains and would not do vertical blinds cause no matter what I did, it looked tacky. That part faces the east and we live in the south. Those curtains help with the blasting sun and heat in those hot months. We do have windows that have tint in them but the curtains make the difference! No vertical blinds.

I love your beautiful ideas and can’t wait to witness you doing each.

Love your work!!! putting one child in a guest room while other children are given their own space will affect that child forever. I'd highly recommend making that room her bedroom and letting guests use it with her permission or she will always feel lesser than her siblings--hurried out of the home. Knowing she has a place with you forever is priceless.

When I built my house 23 years ago, I had builtins put in the master bedroom and my son’s room. I also had them put in the family room. I still love them today and they still look up to date. I also had bench seating built for my kitchen and then had a custom table built for the space. (a local artist made the base of the table out of wrought iron and then another built the wooden top). I love it! The only thing I have updated are the cushions and pillows. I like a clean non-cluttered look and the builtins provide that. I can’t wait to see what you do!!

I’m in love with your fandelier.

The professional flooring designer I worked with recommended carpeted stairs for safety. She said many of her customers who insisted on wood came back for carpet after a family member or a pet had a bad fall. She helped me choose a subtle pattern that blends with the wood floors but has enough contrast to be a visual safety feature. Since this is your forever home, you might look into other “aging in place” features. Take a look at smart sliding panels to replace the vertical blinds. Functional and beautiful. You can also retrofit curtain rods with smart controllers.

My niece has the touchless kitchen faucet. She loves it! She finds that it uses less water. Because she can easily turn it off with a quick wave of the hand. I love the idea for the bedroom fan replacement. Sending the hubs to a big box home building store today! We had a home that we had the niche removed. What a difference it made! I am excited to see you paint cabinets and redo the laundry room. We bought a house last year that was 90% newly remodeled. The downstairs guest bathroom and the laundry room are yet to be remodeled. Thank the good Lord that I retired last year! 😂

I love all your idea’s for your new home. It is going to be gorgeous when you finish . Looking forward to your video’s to come. ❤️

Yes!! It’s going to be so much fun following you along your New Home DIY projects, every sounds great.. 🙌

I love every episode uou do❤ Bring it on!

Yes I would love to see another episode like this!!!

I can’t wait to see what you do with your new space!! ❤

I'm loving your ideas!!!

Can’t wait to see your makeovers.

Can’t wait till you start ❤

I have 2 of those fandeliers. Love them. Functional and elegant!

Yesss love the runner on stairs or even if wood, paint the risers in a pattern. ❤

I absolutely love your animal print idea on your staircase. 100% agree. Axis deer is my favorite. Love your channel..

Such enthusiasm, NataLee!!! Your home will be gorgeous when you are through with it! Your former home was beautifully decorated!!! I really think you'll find a way to do your mantle! It will be exciting to see! TYFS ❤😊

I am SO glad/relieved you are changing out your kitchen granite!

Yes, NEC states that a chandelier must be 8’ from top deck of your tub. However as a home owner, you can do what you want. The thought behind the rule is they don’t want you standing in the tub full of water changing the light bulb. You can’t stop stupid, hang your chandelier the way you want.

So many good ideas look forward as you tackle each one

Thank you for all your ideas!

I love your ideas for your home. You are so talented. I love your new home. Can’t wait to see how it all turns out.

So inspiring!! Thank you!!

Loved this kind of video I am excited to see what you decide for your new home your ideas are amazing ❤️

I can’t live without my touch less faucet in the Kitchen. Awesome!

Jan -England. I really find your tutorials inspiring. I've reached pension age and have discovered DIY love your DT videos. We have Poundland here. Not as good as DT for stock. looking forward to the laundry make over. I need ideas. I have .my own workshop, full of power tools raring to go. Keep up the good work. We are more powerful than we think x

This was a great video and the way you styled your home is amazing. GOD BLESS 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💖🥰💯💫

Great ideas. I can’t wait

I have always admired how inspiring you are but I also love how you consider others budgets and constraints. ❤

Great ideas! I also dislike doing the laundry, I’ll definitely be implementing most of the ideas in my home! Thank you for sharing your talents. Irish

I built my fireplace and then did a lime wash. You can’t go wrong with that! It’s so easy.

So many great ideas. Thank you!!!!

I have the touch on faucet and it never comes on by itself. After it is on for two minutes, it does shut off by itself however! I love it especially when baking and my hands are messy, just a touch of my wrist and presto, it comes on! They are so practical!

Looking forward to all of your listed projects for your new home.

I am with you on the laundry issue, i hate doing laundry i am ok folding laundry but i hate doing it. I love this episode you always put a smile on my face. Have a wonderful day Natalee thank you for making my day.

I LOVE my touchless faucet. I've had it for 5 years. Super easy, it has a battery pack that is attached under the sink and I've only had to replace the batteries twice. The water will run for 3 minutes and turn off automatically unless you turn it off before then. It has definitely been a game changer in my kitchen! I think you will love it too.

Such great ideas! I’d love to see more videos like this.

I love my drill, I got it this week. Excited to see what I will make with it!

The "fandelier" blew mind!!! 💀 as the kids say!! ❤❤❤

More episodes with your ideas please!! ❤ it!

I am a designer and was so excited to get a touch faucet in the kitchen. HATED IT! I made many calls to customer service. They said you can’t have any other metal under your sink-so I covered screws with tape and so forth. Then the batteries only lasted 6mos. In short, it was very fussy and frustrating- I had to turn off the touch factor and now I have a new faucet😅Maybe they have improved, but this was less than 3 yrs ago!

You have so many great ideas, your home being transformed has my interest. It’s already beautiful!

You can buy flexible molding to match your picture frame molding for your house. We used a capsize type molding and were able to find flexible molding for our arches. It painted well and you can't tell it isn't wood.

OMG, I got so many ideas from this video. Love the idea of the pantry doors. I do have a no touch faucet and dish soap dispenser in my kitchen and I love them because when I work with meat or anything like that I don't cross contaminate those areas by touching them with dirty hands, I also like that if I am super busy in the kitchen or the kids forget to turn off the water it does it by itself. You motivate me and make me feel that I can tackle a built-in which I have been wanting for a while now. I can't wait to see all the changes you do in your forever home to get inspiration and courage to do some of my own. May God keep blessing you and your family in everything you guys do.

I'm sooooo excited for all your upcoming videos. 🎉❤

Just love you Natalee. I love watching your channel and you have such wonderful ideas. Thank you. Have a blessed day ❤

Amazon sells a flexible molding that you can easily bend it into a curve. It is an adhesive backing, but I recommend brad nailing it as well.

❤❤Enjoyed!

I definitely love these types of eposides. We have a touchless faucet and it took some time to get used to the concept. I especially use it when baking and have gooey hands!

Loved all your ideas, so many of them are things I have done to our home. We updated our kitchen and we did the quartz Marble look, I love it. My husband built banquet seating because we downsized and our dinning table was way to big. We tried a round table but ended up going with more of an oval, our area was flanked by bay window so it was pretty! I can’t wait for all the fun projects you’re going to take us through! Have a blessed day!!

I love all of your built in ideas.

💕😀Natalee, Thank you for sharing with us another great video! You have a beautiful home.
