I told you about my daughter Leslie have cancer on her back, Praise the LORD they got it all. But got a phone call about two hours ago they were taking her husband Matt, in an ambulance to Emory! He was having mini strokes, please pray for them, they have two sweet daughters! Thank you in advance!

I vote yes on the broom closet, makes sense and like the idea of shelves in the top for linens. I say yes to shelves above the washer, make the lowest one just above the electrical outlet. With shelves there it will take the eye away from the washer hook up till you figure how to disguise it. I say no on the board and batten, it's perfect how you have it, it's a focal wall now. Yes on the fireplace with a nice mantel wide enough for a candle or small decor. All your ideas are good ones, just tackle one at a time, we're all with you for the ride!

Broom closets are a MUST! Your home is so sweet - no clutter, bright and fresh. You have excellent taste!

Excellent idea to turn that old heater space into a broom closet ….the wood beam In center of ceiling could work if u use a flush mount ceiling fan ..the new island counter top sounds awesome ….hopefully u can get the front porch done soon so u /Mr Tim can enjoy sitting out there …🥰🙏🏽 God sends all resources u need / above n beyond ❤️

I really liked your intro- your skills as a "You-tuber" have really grown. The video, the editing, the music- I appreciate all the work that you put into making your videos. Keep up the good work!

My boyfriend is a contractor and he always uses Benjamin Moore Vinyl Siding paint and will use nothing else. He says it’s extremely durable. It’s very important that you power wash and clean thoroughly, but no primer is necessary. Enjoy the rest of your week. 🙏🏻❤️🌹

Timmy we miss you this week bud, and giving us a song.

Stephanie I am so impressed with your improving your home. You have such great ideas! I think you should make that broom closet first and then go on from there.❤️

If you do a shelf behind your washer dryer, make sure you can still open the washer lid all the way. I had to raise my shelf because the washer lid wouldn't stay open while I loaded and unloaded the washer. It was aggravating.

You could get a ceiling hugger fan. Saves room.

Hey Stephanie, hope Timmy and your mom feel better soon... so many with that nasty stomach bug... I posted earlier and I don't know if it posted because I can't seem to find it... I posted several tips and links... for delicates in washer, use a pillow case with a zipper, keeps the item from rubbing directly against the agitator you can build your own butcher block top for a lot less than store brought, the link showed how to do it in 6 steps: measure size and depth, select wood, maple or a hard wood suggested, glue pieces together, cut ends, use a belt sander to sand top and sides smooth, clear coat with food safe poly I agree with another poster about use of composite over wood... Trex is about $5-12/ sq ft, pressure treated lumber is $6-14... for the water hoses, there was also a link where the blogger built a small box, open at the bottom with a lift up lid, it was about 2-3 in deep (projecting from the wall)... I want to link it but yt might think it to be spam I think the hall closet is a great idea and next project... I am certain your dad and/or brother would be happy to assist with the removal of the existing materials, next the office (loved all your ideas), living space (not sure about the different wall ideas but you have an excellent eye for this, so I am sure it will turn out), kitchen (East Coast DIY channel did like million can lights in her kitchen by herself -hubby in military, you got this), bedroom and bathroom, then porch... I am changing my 14 yr old grandson's room from youth gamer to teen gamer... I paint one wall a day, I get you on being tired and the motivation... look forward to seeing your plans come to fruition over the next few months!

Girl, you are so precious. You make me happy. I appreciate your sweet spirit and your positive attitude. Your ideas are wonderful. Keep on keeping on, sweet girl.

I simply watch you for your spontaneous smile and spontaneous laughter! Timmy's humor too! I have a singlewide and i am loving it. Simple life, simple bills equals more freedom.

Hi Stephanie - I know just what you mean about having lots of great ideas but not having the motivation to get started.....sometimes I overwhelm myself by taking on too much at one time. You have already accomplished so much in your sweet home....you motivate me by sharing all the neat things you do and I am looking forward to seeing your future DIY's.

I think all of the ideas are great! One thing that concerns me is your linen/mop closet. Me, I personally wouldn't want mops in with my clean linens/blankets. Mops and the like are dirty, and I wouldn't want them close to my sheets. Maybe it's just me 🤷🏼‍♀️. Your mobile is gorgeous and feels comfy cozy. 😍 love it!

Build a fake box to put over water lines open on the bottom so lines can still go down. Put a shelf all the way across the top of your washer and dryer. Then that would make room for some cabinets above the washer and dryer where your shel currently is located. That would give you more closed storage.

You are such a good cleaner. Not too many know to clean their washers out like that. No one takes proper care of things any more.

You just let yourself rest. You need time to get strength back. It will all be there for you in another week or so. I think you should do whatever project that would be the most useful to you. Getting a porch, sitting in a rocker, having beautiful flowers, having a pretty outside paint job. Broom closet. Whatever you would most enjoy and need should be next. I like the idea of the gas logs. We had them once and loved it. We are all electric now and have little fireplaces that look like old stoves in living room and bedroom. The one unit that we have is dual AC and heat does not work well heatwise. It is warm enough in FL that the firepace heaters are all we need most of the time. I enjoy the cosy feel they give and gas ones are even much better. I love that top you have on. Did you get it recently. I want one. Timmy having room and being safe is most important so whatever works with that is good. I like the hall trimmed out and loving the black wall as it is. But if you change it ok you always make it look good. Keep resting yourself. Feel better Timmy.❤

Oh that would drive me crazy. You have to have a closet/cupboard for your things. Love my linen closet.

Stephanie, in your laundry room, you could get a flat sided basket and put a faux ivy that spills over and that would cover your hoses. It would be an inexpensive fix. You would need to nail the basket above the little hose insert thing. I hope you understand what I'm describing. The beam in your living room kitchen ceiling, why couldn't you just paint in a wood color instead of going to the expense of wrapping it. There are so many faux techniques you could try. Just an idea. I think you would be happier having a hall closet where that heating vent thing is. I have a long wooden shelf up behind my washer and dryer. I have drop down cabinets so I can put things on the top. I have an antique scrub board and a antique iron, a large ball jar with some old fashion clothes pins. Stuff like that. Also Hobby Lobby has some old looking metal laundry signs you can buy and put in the walls. Just some tips! . Go online or look in magazines to get some new ideas. Your home is just beautiful. I saw the before pics and you have made a little blest nest for sure. I know you are there everyday and see the same things but your home looks like a picture in a magazine. It's warm, inviting and very charming! A Nana from Texas.

So my thought for the laundry space is to Build a shelf along the back wall at the height just above the hookups on the left side and then carrying a shelf over those hookups so it's worth like an L shaped shelf. Then you could hook up a curtain ride under that side shelf and hang curtain to hide the hookups. You could use fabric or sheet which is close to the color of the wall to make it blend in, or do something fun with the fabric.

I can't wait to see your projects come to life! I love your board and batten look! Hope Timmy's tummy feels beeter real soon!

Please tell Timmy I hope he feels better real soon n I’m praying for him. You my girl can tackle any of those DIY’s you are wanting to do with one hand tied behind you. I can’t wait to see which one you will do first. Your home is so beautiful as it is but I understand wanting to do more. Love to you both.

Your videos are now like TV productions. The music, camera shots are so professional looking. You remind me of Martha Stewart but warmer, softer. Peace and serenity is what i feel when i watch your videos. GREAT work!!! You are definitely going places!

Years ago my father removed our old furnace and made it a place my mom stored all her home canning food she prepared and at the bottom all her canning supplies.

I love your shiplap wall! Our water hoses are like yours, but right behind the washer and above it, ugh! I thought about making a fabric cover for them like people do for the chains on their porch swings.. You could get a ceiling mount fan/light after you do the beam. That would look great and fan would hug the ceiling (no pole). Hope Timmy feels better very soon. Enjoyed seeing Bonnie and her belly rubs. Pace yourself. We're not going anywhere without you! xx

You could put a shelf above the electric socket and it could go all across . The wires do usually go behind the washer and dryer. Maybe a partial wood box covering your wires, you could leave it open in the back so you could get to them if you needed to. Also they do make coverings that can cover computer wires , etc. maybe some of those wood work.

I really enjoy your videos., discovered you channel about a month ago and trying to catch up. You have such a sweet face, genuine smile that lights up your eyes and a very calming voice, which is very soothing to this very stressed out woman who is a retired nurse only to take care of an aging parent. Beautiful home. share and love your style. A broom closet is perfect idea for your project.

I hope you and Timmy are both all better soon. I really liked your top. The colors in it look good on you. I think Bonnie wanted you to lie down with her. Whatever you choose to do will be great. You might want to put a plant in your bedroom, maybe on the dresser. Some plants act as filters and help you breathe and sleep better. The broom closet is wonderful idea. I want to do the same thing. I have no place for brooms, vacuums nor for excess cleaning supplies. Give Irvin and Bonnie I scratch for me. Looking forward to your next video. Thank you! Blessings!

I think we must be looking forward to spring. We have lots of snow and more coming, so looking at projects and thinking about gardening are fun to do right now. I listened to you, and you sound like you are doing the same. I am so amazed about the beautiful things you have done with your home. Sometimes when we have a lot of ideas, hopes for projects, we will make a list, and then rewrite it, by priority: what will make life better, or prevent problems down the road, higher on the list. I like the ideas for the broom closet, (I don't have one either, and would love one!) Also the shelves in the laundry room will be so practical! I think when putting in the shelves, you could put a little lightweight box-like structure over the water hoses, maybe mount it with hidden hooks or 3M nail-less velco stick-ons, so it can be easily removed if work is needed on the hoses, or to turn water on or off. (Maybe out of thinner wood panel). I put in shelves in the laundry area about a year ago, and I can't imagine how we got along without them! Thanks for your great video! Hope Timmy is feeling better!

Oh my goodness, EASY TO HIDE THE WASHER WATER PIPES!! Just make a wood Box (paint white) and have a cut out for the pipes running down the side of the washer. Put a straight board on top of the wooden box to make a shelf. I see it in my head, not sure u can vision what I’m trying to describe 😄. You can also make small fake cabinet with the cutout underneath it to let the pipes run down the side of the washer.

Stephanie, you have some great ideas unfortunately they all take time, money & energy, not to mention, some know how!! It’s certainly fun to dream, though! Even when you think a project is going to be easy, you know how quickly it can become challenging! So don’t be too hard on yourself…some projects can be very intimidating!! 😉 The beam in your main living area is a great idea & I still think it could work by using a flush mount ceiling fan but you would have to check how wide your beam would have to be to accommodate it. As far as covering the hoses in your laundry room, I would build a shallow “box” with only two sides (one on the top & the other along the side facing out) and of corse a bottom. The bottom of the box would run parallel to the side of your washing machine. With the back side open to allow for the hoses to exit, if that makes sense? I would run the box all the way to the floor, I think? I would anchor it on the wall just about the opening for the hoses. Depending on how far you made it go back towards the wall the washer backs up to, you might be able to rest a shelf on it just above your washer & dryer?? Obviously, you would need brackets to hold up the shelf all along the wall too. You could place a trailing plant in the corner to disguise the transition between the “box” & the shelf. If none of this makes sense, please reach out to me…I think it is an easy solution and one you could definitely do!! You could paint the “box” the same as your wall before hanging it. You could possibly use “L” brackets to secure the box in place. I hope you find an acceptable solution to your hose problem…that would drive me crazy too!! 😉😀💕 Love your videos…you are doing a great job with all of your projects!!

You look just beautiful Stephanie. Also, like the shirt with the striped sleeves you have on. Your home improvement ideas are great. You've made such a beautiful home.

Hi Stephanie you've given us a lot to think about. First thing is I wouldn't put up a dark beam in the living room I think it would take away from your lovely decorations. I would paint the black wall another color maybe the same color as your hall way or you could buy the same brick wall boarding and cover the black then paint it the same color as I mentioned as the pantry door. Another thing, in the kitchen next to the pantry door I would do the same thing you did in the hall to make it blend together and look like it was meant to be that way. In the bedroom if you use the brown bamboo blinds I would get some throw pillows for your bed with some browns in it to pull the room together. I know I've probably talked too much but these are my suggestions. God Bless, Kathy

That beam for your living room, they make them out of foam now and they look like wood and super easy to do. Check that out and super cheep.

You are a delight when things seem dark you brighten my day. In the world of KZfaq you are a breath of fresh air. (...yup, in my world we also call those bedspreads and yours was gorgeous!)

Love all the ideas you have for your home.

Hi Stephanie, your home is so beautiful. I was interested to hear your ideas. I'm sure what ever you decide to do will only add to the beauty of your home. Love your style and decor. Your home feels so welcoming. Tell Timmy hi for me. Y'all have a great day. ❤️

Great ideas for your home!❤

You have some great ideas can’t wait to see what you do.

Girl..you have done so much in your beautiful little house!! Little bites at a time. ❤️

Such an amazing job you are doing with this home Stephanie.

Lots of great ideas...looking forward to seeing what you do 😁

You can get a fireplace at Lowes, that is what we got in our den. It is gas logs, and it will run you out it warms our den and kitchen.

I Love All of Your ideas Stephanie ... Your home is so nice .. Love it 🙂

What a creative girl you are, Stephanie! All these ideas just spinning around in your head. My husband says, “What are you thinking about doing? I can see those wheels spinning around!” It’s fun to think and plan and just do! I’m sure you’ll get lots of great ideas from your people. You look especially pretty today. Love your hair! Blessings to you both❣️

Stephanie I bet you could use paint for that beam. They even have special tools that create a wood grain look. You just two or three colors of brown.

I would put a panel over the hookups. Like a built out door. Then do the shelf separately. You could actually probable use scrap to make a panel.

Feel better soon 💖🙏🏻💖

I think the ceiling fan would miss the beam. It's low enough. For disguising the washer hookup, you could hang some fabric to match your decor like a curtain hung at a level just above the hookup box.

Absolutely great ideas Stephanie,a broom closet for more storage is a good idea also shelves over your washer/dryer. I have my plumbing for my washer directly behind it and it still shows.Don’t know how to make it look better. I think they should have us women do the designing. I like all of your ideas an I give you so much credit for all you do.Love that 🌱 plant you bought at Amish flower stand! Thanks for sharing. God Bless ♥️Barb

I love your DIYs 💕

Love your videos!! 🇨🇦

Stephanie all your ideas sound great. Stay as sweet as you always are. I think the Peace Lilly was my favorite, although there were others I loved too. Prayers for You and Timmy. May God bless you both with a wonderful week end. ( 2nd time I watched).

So talented and creative your home transformed is absolutely beautiful, cozy warm and inviting, such a beautiful blessing to live debt free and close to your parents, God is good❤

Where you have your dresser do a built in cabinet with drawers have it go to the ceiling just a thought. .

Bonnie is so adorable!

Put up a shelf on top of your hoses and add a faux hanging plant long enough to cover the hoses.

I love that shelf ..

I'm updating all my lights in my house and doing a refresh to my bedroom. Your home is so pretty and the things you talked about doing would a=only make it even better. Luv from Louisiana!

They used to have artificial beams made of Styrofoam that were already stained .you would just glue them on the ceiling they were so easy to put up and they looked real.

Hey girl love watching You have some great ideas for home I love it

Hey Stephanie!!You have some great ideas for your home.What you have done so far is really nice.Your idea about putting a beam across the livingroom ceiling sounds good!Maybe painting your black T.V. wall the color of your hall woodwork could be nice,maybe make that area look larger and brighter?Your idea to cover your machine cords is a good one ,maybe your dad could help you with that!Anyway I'm sure you will continue soon when you feel like it!!!!Your home is very nice!!!!I have found that everything one does in their living space is so gratifying!!!!Don"t get impatient!!Things take time and you have done a great job!Stay well and I hope Timmy feels much better soon.Sending you a big hug!!😁🙏🌷🌻🦋

I definitely like your fireplace idea!

You have some great ideas.

Great video...You have a lot of good ideas!! Love your home

Yes to the broom closet 🥰

I absolutely love your home. I think I would get my bedroom and bath the way you wanted them, then come down the hallway to that electrical outlet and pull that out

I would have just painted the board down the center of ceiling...... Would give the feeling of a beam!!

You have some good ideas going on!

Love your shows! Keep up the good work, pretty lady 👍👍

I love watching your channel, you have some great ideas.

Stephanie you have a lot of great ideals,and you have done a lot of great things in your home I would vote for the broom closet that would be really good to get them out of the pantry.

Good morning Bonnie and Stephanie, can’t wait till you start your projects gives me ideas lol.

I recently created a faux beam using paint and a wood graining tool. You don’t even need to move your fan.

You’ve done a great job.. your home looks beautiful & cozy!

I think the board and batten is great to bring around the wall and the broom closet conversion is brilliant as well as the ceiling beams.

Love your hair color looks new

Yes it's spring again! Time to make everything beautiful 🐦

Lots of great ideals the flowers are beautiful thanks for sharing have a blessed day.

You are amazing gal.

Love all those plants so hard to choose

Your home looks beautiful

Good morning, I love all your ideas especially the broom closet. ..you could paint that wall a different color for an accent wall in your bedroom. Again thank you for everything you have a blessed day and I’m glad you’re feeling better and I hope your family is on the mend. Have a blessed day may God be with you always.

I love the board and batten. I think you should run it through the living room.

Could you get two wall cabinets from Habitat for Humanity or Facebook Marketplace, for above your washer and dryer? Those would hide all your laundry products and cleaning supplies. I know things are tight financially, I think everyone is really feeling the "pinch". I think you have great ideas and you have made your mobile home into a very warm & cozy living space! 🥰

You and your family and home look beautiful

Your hair looks amazing! You are so pretty, and so talented!

I love your ideas. If I were at that plant shop I'd be like a kid in a candy store!!! I believe if you do the gas firelace you will love it.

I like the board and batten replacing the shiplap. I also like the broom closet idea. The fireplace would add an extra coziness to the living room. You have such good ideas. Please tell Timmy that we hope he is feeling better.

You have a lot of awesome ideas! Spring seems to get people’s creative juices flowing. I have a few ideas for outside, but will I actually do them?🧐🙄 I’m looking forward to watching you change up the different areas👍🏼😊 Prayers that Timmy feels better soon. So sorry to hear everyone has been down with it😢 Blessings 🙏

I love your house! And I love your decorating style. You could always put a wall basket with some greenery hanging down to cover the washer plug in. Ours is right in the middle of our washer and dryer. So it kind of sticks out like a sore thumb lol.

You have great taste! Your home is truly beautiful warm and inviting ❤️

All the projects you mentioned sounds good and should keep you busy for awhile. I hope Timmy is feeling better and the rest of you family heals quickly from the stomach virus.

Excellent ideas for your house and yes definitely know that lack of motivation to get started. I’m amazed at all that you have done. I think making your broom closet would be a good place to start. I enjoy your videos.

I love your videos and your personality and I love Timmy and your mom and Dad

I can see why you love that place! I really liked the tall red plants. I don’t know what it’s called, but that’s gorgeous!

Love all your great ideas ,Love the black wall it the livingroom, Think the closet for your broom & Mop and other things are a great idea , Hope you & Timmy have a wonderful & Blessd day

Thank goodness I remembered I would need a broom closet before we finished the house so my husband was able to add it.

You need to watch Hannah’s Happy Home videos and check out the shelf above her washer and dryer. Her laundry space is different than yours but it might give you some ideas on how to make it work for you. I love all of your home improvement ideas!! Looking forward to you bringing them to life. As for the broom closet I say GO FOR IT!!
