Julie you inspire me girl! I love the bench idea. The ideas are endless. Always remember you can swap stuff out. If you get tired of the round table you could put a rectangle table. Again thank you. Beautiful inside & out! I started this journey w you and you’ve came so far! The ladies on fb are amazing and thriving it’s awesome to watch. ❤️God bless you sis.

@candycurtis3820 2 жыл бұрын

I'd like to add one last comment. For me, personally, I've unsubscribed the to a lot of DIY channels lately, but continue to love every video you put out for one simple reason - you're humble, honest and you keep it real. There are many families struggling to feed their family right now, and have no idea how Christmas will be bought. When you say "it's not in the budget right now", many of us can relate. Others are doing projects with a 6K budget and that's not even realistic to a lot of people. Keep being real, keep being humble, keep being the amazing YOU!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

If you build a bench it makes no sense just buy one of the chairs you like and use a temporary side table until you get the new chair. If you use either chair option you have on hand paint them to match the table and it will hide them better. Also try a thrift shop for some options since all you need is 2 chairs it will be easier to find than a set of 4 or 6. You can paint them and recover them if they have fabric on them.

You ARE a TOTAL inspiration. I have just moved to a new place...MASSIVE downsize...and now I'm trying to make the pieces that were from various rooms, work together now that they are in closer proximity to each other. I'm taking a page out of your book, and unifying them by using white as my base. The hardest part was giving myself permission to paint antiques that have been in the family for generations...but since none of my kids are interested in 'inheriting' them...I am free to do what I want, since as far as family heirlooms go...apparently I am the end of the line...lol I'm quite liking how nicely they are playing together now...and I'm finding myself a little bit addicted to white chalk-paint. Thank-you so much for sharing your enthusiasm, your energy and your inspiration. ❤

I love the bench idea, especially with a bunch of throw pillows for a pop of color... That would just complete the area and make it look more fabulous than it already does... Why are you not decorating other people's home's for more income or just because it's your passion/calling....?? You are waaaay better than some if the decorators I've known throughout the year's.... Your home is always beautifully decorated, even though it's not exactly my style (I like a little more black and a little more color) I can still appreciate the simplicity and beauty of it...

Julie you are definitely inspiring!! I don’t know if I’ve ever seen anyone work so hard and persistent on their home. But oh my gosh you have accomplished so much already and everything is just beautiful! I think you should hang cafe curtains in the breakfast nook. And I like your idea of building a bench along the two walls and if you need more chairs just pull from the dining room set. And yes! More videos like this. I love when you take us along bit by bit or however you want to do it. I just love all your videos!! Oh, BTW, love the shiplap and the white table.

@joannecooper4592 2 жыл бұрын

You did a great job and are off to a wonderful start with the breakfast nook. Don't do built-ins. They are not comfortable and they just overwhelm the space. If you go with just chairs, you can do the dropcloth curtains to match dining and living rooms and make it a cohesive look rather than throwing in a set of cafe curtains.

We shiplapped our bathroom. I wanted my "cracks" to show, so I painted the wall first a charcoal gray. Then I painted all my boards outside--2 coats of Behr Jumprope--the trim color all around my house--a very light warm cream. We used spacers my husband made. And then glued and nailed the boards. I touched up the nail holes when we were finished. I definitely think you need to use a swag to drape your lamp to hang over the table. Looks great.

You do A LOT! Keep it up. Love whatever inspires you. I think a cute little jute plant hanger in the corner or a floating shelf with a hanging plant would look cute too. I’m sure whatever you do, it will be great. You are a class act!

Julie, loved the breakfast room. Each detail was just perfect. I like the idea of cafe curtains and also the bench. I’d suggest two benches to form the “L”. I have a couple of rustic benches that we are always moving from place to place. When I give a party we pull them in front of the TV and the fireplace for extra seating. At the foot of a bed for luggage if we have company. Just really handy. I so appreciate all you are accomplishing for your family and your home on your own. I enjoy being along for the ride!

Hello, Suggestion: You could use 2 long rectangular ottomans as table benches, they can also double as additional storage and they are not permanent. They can also fold up when not in use and are a great space saver. Faux leather wipes clean easily. They come in many colors and styles. I hope this is helpful. 😊

I LOVE what you are doing with this space! So cozy, not to mention affordable! I vote for cafe curtains, so you can see out onto the deck and get plenty of light as well. Why not build a rustic L shaped seating that can be relocated to a corner of your lovely deck when you find your perfect coffee-corner chairs? You can add an outdoor round table and dine alfresco in fair weather!

@judywilliamson2068 2 жыл бұрын

I see that area of your kitchen as more of a children’s area. So I would go with café curtains. You can even insert them inside the window. As soon as I saw that space my first thought was “Oh perfect area for benches.” So I would definitely go with benches! I think your children would enjoy that (and if you make the benches like boxes you can make your tops lift for storage. Which would be great for large kitchen Appliances.). Also great idea using thin underlayment for shiplap!

Love the shiplap I think the bench with pillows you suggested would look so good. Cafe curtains would probably work best…bc with the bench & pillows people will more than likely lean against the wall some so it might cause the curtains to be pulled down if that make sense 😂 love all your videos whatever you decide to create I’m watching 🙋🏼‍♀️ I’m sure others would agree!

YES… keep the renovation videos coming ! Love your little space you just did ! NOPE…didn’t get me up and doing my projects….LOL!!!!! My WHOLE BIG HOUSE is full of the real shiplap and unpainted ☹️☹️☹️. I got sick with this crazy muscle disease and now I can’t paint it! LOVE that color you are using! Another reason for not getting it done..picking the right white! So the name is DUCK WHITE ? I think I had “Dover White “ picked out. The light is PERFECT… that was the style I was thinking of when you said IKEA! I can’t believe how great the prices are at IKEA! We don’t even have an IKEA Store in our State . Love the bench idea for the space. Add the throw pillows… and pull a single chair over when needed or when found! 👍👍 What a great transformation! Love it…love it !!

Julie, Love your shiplap idea! Brilliant Girl! Nothing wrong with drop cloth on all the windows. It will help tie all 3 rooms together and make them more cohesive. You could hang one drop cloth on the left side of the left window and one drop cloth on the right side of the right window. Then loosely gather & pleat them and tie them back with some jute. Insert a tiny nail or curtain hook into the wall about 3/4 down the window and hang the jute tie on the hook. The drop cloth should cover the hook. I wouldn't want to hide that lovely view

You always teach me something and I'm grateful. I think that your idea to put beautiful wooden benches along the wall is great. Perhaps with drop cloth cushions with the appropriate stamps on them or some simple ticking stripes, which would of course tie into the rest of your decor. I remember a realtor once telling me that what she loved about what I'd done to a whole house redo that my husband and I had done, was that no matter where she looked, the decor drew her eye along to see beyond. Your work is beautiful!

The breakfast nook and table turned out beautifully. I love the hanging lamp that you chose. I think the cafe curtains would look amazing in that corner.

Café curtain would be charming. Bench for seating & then pull dining room chairs is smart.

I would love to see more videos like this!! So informative and great for visual content!!! Im thinking the cafe curtains might look lighter in the smaller space, but seeing how creative you are, whatever’s choice you make will be the right one!!! It’s great that you have a clean slate to work with. It’s inspiring me to gut out my house and start over!!! Im truly inspired !!!!

Love your ideas. Cute tiers at the top of the breskfast nook would be perfect. Premade flowery or lemon fabric same for pillows as tiers.

I vote for the bench with some cute pillows and a valance so u can still see outside. A long curtain would get in the way of the benches

. I think bench seating would be ideal for this area and easy to add some color with the seating and pillows. I like your projects and the reasoning behind what you do. 👍🏼

I love the ship lap! I like the idea of a banquet seating. I have a round dining table in a very small dining area. Have 4 chairs but when the table was extended I didn’t have seating. I found 3 chairs alike and made them into a semi circular bench. Works great & gave me 3 more places to seat people.

Turned out so darling, an old church pew cut in half to fit and could be moved about, and a little hook in the ceiling to sort of swag the fixture ☺️? 🤗💕

Love the idea of some splash of color in the cafe style curtains and totally love the idea of making some wooden benches for the nook. I can't wait til the dream chairs make the budget though... cause I know that will make that space be EXACTLY where you want to curl up and read a book while enjoying a warm beverage on a cold day! The view is nice and the space will look amazing with your Lousiana charm added to it! The shiplap does look amazing also! I think I am going to do this in my living room! I have been hesitant to repaint the walls AGAIN because they are just drywall with a chair rail and waynecoating bottom. I didn't do that! The house came that way. But I didn't want to have to dry wall the bottoms so I have just changed paint color couple times in last 20 years. This look would be exactly what the doctor ordered to be cost effective and look great! THANKS FOR INSPIRING US ALL! Signed, Your Arkansas Neighbor!
