My New House Tour! See the Start of My Wild & Crazy Dream House Remodel!
Alan and I just purchased a new home, the 14th home we have purchased in our 44 years of marriage. We LOVE fixing up houses, and this house is no exception! In this video I take you on a “before” tour of our new home which we plan to remodel from top to bottom.
If you have décor ideas or tips on surviving a major remodel, I hope you will share your information in the comments section below the video. That way we can help each other!

Designed purposefully as a home office but especially for anyone that would be having clients come to their home office. With the view to the front of the house to see who is approaching the house and right by the front door so the client wasn’t getting to see your whole house. So apart from helping to keep heating costs down,those double doors to the great room would have also been to help with privacy.

Pease, pleaeaease don't rip out the walnut floors! If you don't like the finish on them, just have them refinished! You're going to save a TON of money by doing that and they're going to look fantastic. Also, refinished walnut (to a lighter colour) can work with white oak very well. I think it's a great idea to make all the trim white. Even if this IS solid wood, so it might seem blasphemous to some, to paint wood, but not to me! It will add a ton of light. And great idea, to have a white quarz countertop. Those look fantastic, and are so easy to maintain. I would also take the carpet out of your future gym room, what with the sweat and all. Beautiful house! Can't wait to see what you do with it! Best of luck!

@nataliemarshall7158 24 күн бұрын

I thought when she first spoke about taking out the wood from the main entrance and dinning area that she was going to say that it would be recycled to be the timber she wants in the hallways . So I think she means she is going to tear out some wood to replace it with different wood?? I’m confused but I do hope she reads all the comments about restraining the original wood. Imo such a terrible waste of resources and money otherwise

@AnonimAdres 24 күн бұрын

Beth I think your beautiful home needs a foyer asap. I love white too I get it but I would keep all the wood doors and flooring as is. Wood is expensive. People with limited budget go for all white which looks clean and neat. But nothing looks as expensive and as timeless like wood. Look for famous home designers’ work they mostly go for wood. And that wall you want to tear down adds a nice privacy to your living area. Good luck with your reno work.

@floridanativelh568 24 күн бұрын

Walnut is an expensive, timeless, and harder wood. Superior as a rule. It's gorgeous. Because it's classic, I wouldn't consider that as "dated" We had a family interior design/flooring and shutter business from 1978-2020. Just my input. ❤

@equatorialjourney4478 20 күн бұрын

But it’s a very orange /red heavy colour which looks rather garish . It might be a lovely wood but the finish of it ( and all the heavy cabinets /shelves /trim throughout the house ) looks too heavy & overpowering .. I think Beth’s taste will make the house look much more elegant, fresh and timeless .

@sunflowerrosem.8651 8 күн бұрын

Keep the walnut. Change the stain on it if you don’t like the color.

@sophie47448 Күн бұрын

Beth your new home is priceless. I mean that literally. People pay a fortune to have walnut in their homes. Wealthy homes are not all white. Anyone can have an all white home but not too many could have this gorgeous walnut home you found. You would have been wise to buy a different home. You will be making an enormous mistake to change everything so soon. What if in the end it isn’t the look your after. This house was designed to look expensive and it does. Just consider and get some professional advice before you make so many major changes. I speak from experience. I bought a home with stained woodwork and white was what everyone had and I couldn’t wait to get the house painted white. I got sick and it was the best thing that could have happened. Once we moved in I fell in love with the way it looked. It is so inviting and warm and I am so thankful I didn’t jump the gun. White would have looked horrible and cheap. Think about some more.

@user-tv3vp8ji9e 21 күн бұрын

Love the house Beth but when it becomes sterile, I am not so sure. It is totally your house. I absolutely love all the wood as is, trim, doors, kitchen. A couple of the bathrooms are a bit dark. I always wonder why people want free standing tubs. I like the ledge, partly to prevent water from getting on the floor but I like to have my wine and candles and you would have to bring in some tables around a free standing tub. I would die for those floors, trim and doors. Just absolutely gorgeous. But it is your house and if you want the sterile look then go for it. I'll be crying at the final reveal video lol. BTW, quartz is awesome. Black countertops not so much. Shows dust. I love the kitchen cabinets and white quartz would look spectacular! Good luck, that is A LOT of renovations. I wish I lived near you to go to the store where you will be donating everything you are ripping out!

Hire an interior designer before you do ANY remodeling. They have experience and know all the vendors and resources for everything. It is worth the cost because he or she will keep you from making costly, expensive mistakes. This house has nice curb appeal but is dated on the inside. Professionals can give you choices that you will not think of because you don’t have the same training. This could be a lovely home, but it needs a skilled designer.

I would keep that wall with the French doors and not tear it down, but have it continue all the way up to the ceiling, and put real French doors in there. It's nice to be able to close the doors to the kitchen when you are having a formal meal. Most of the time, you'll probably be eating in the kitchen. I agree about the light over the dining table. It needs to go. The layout of the whole house is a little odd, I agree, with strange angles everywhere, but all and all, it's a lovely home that you will enjoy.

I am just a little younger than you and I do like light and bright, but your new home has so many beautiful windows which will bring in a lot of natural light...so I don't see why you feel you need to make everything white. I like your ideas with regards to the bathrooms and kitchen...and I do like the light fixture in the kitchen.:-) Quartz is the new granite. It is very durable and very beautiful.

I had to laugh how everything will be white and then when you got to the basement you didn't really like the 'white' carpet. It is a very large home and I am sure you will love it in time. Spring time brings snakes and they are at every lake in the US that has warm weather. Just keep garage doors down as they like cool, dark places to hide. Will take this renovation with you and see the transformation. Thanks for the tour Beth.

I love the natural look of the wood trim. That's a beautiful house!! Good luck with it! My brother is a carpenter and he says quarts is the best stone to use as a kitchen countertop. The problem with the white trim is it has to be cleaned a lot. It gets crappy looking after a while. It's much easier to maintain a natural wood trim in my humble opinion. I tend to go for the more rustic style anyway.

I keep a stock of Q-tips in the trim paint and about every three months I go through the house dabbing little nicks.

I do not know the age of the house, but it is classic and beautiful and rare as it is, and that view and open space and water energy is priceless. America is full of modern “white” IKEA look houses, and I think it is a tragedy to destroy the unique beauty of this lovely home. I grew up in the Sixties in England where one gorgeous classic Stately Home was destroyed every week because of the Government’s criminal Death Duty Taxes. Those homes are lost for ever. Thank God we have learned to value the remaining Stately Homes and they are authentically preserved. I can guarantee that when you finally leave this home the new owners will try and restore all the beautiful wood which matches the lake setting so well. I would live in the house as it is, maybe only changing the brown bathrooms and spend the money on a Keto Chef, masseur and fitness trainer, but maybe you already have those. Congratulations on doing Carnivore when the rest of the family are eating “normally”, you are truly amazing for achieving that, well done. It would be so much better for your health and well-being to have a Chef and get away from the microwave and processed foods. I hear about Dirty Keto but there appears to be Dirty Carnivore as well. I think Dr Anthony Chaffee, busy as he is, just cooks a second Ribeye and chops it up in a container to take to work. No burger and processed cheese. You are what you eat and the microwave is so bad for your health. I researched them thirty years ago and have never owned or used one! Good luck with your renovations but I will not be watching, it would be too heartbreaking!! Thank God you and Alan appear to have the same design taste, if he was like me it would be divorce time😂😂Namaste 🙏

Hi Beth, Great to see you back! I hope you feel uplifted by the positive comments! You asked for ideas re your lovely new home, so I respectfully offer mine. Steer away from "the furniture store look" i.e. a dining table constantly set. Rethink trends that age a home, such as interior signs like "Happiness". Instead of national chain stores, buy local to give your home a unique feel. Display personal items from your travels. It would be fun to see some of Kansas represented in your home art. This gives your home a more curated feel. Congratulations on your exciting project. And blessings to your and yours.

Loved the house tour! Can't wait to see it finished. Here is my opinion - The wood floors and doors are absolutely gorgeous and elegant. I would not replace or paint them. I would go after the dark bathrooms and tile flooring. Replace the backsplash in the kitchen... Get rid of the white carpet in the basement. It will be impossible to keep clean and keep from getting stained when someone knocks over a drink. Can you find a compromise on some of your wishes? Good luck and have fun Beth!

I love the granite in the kitchen and your wood floors are to die for!!! I wish you wouldn't change them but in the end, you have to be happy! You have worked hard all your life. Oh the lovely memories you will make dining and entertaining while overlooking the lake! I am so happy for you...PLEASE do home decorating videos and garden!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! xo Susan

That walnut is far more expensive than oak, keep the floors. You can add rugs but don’t tear up those floors. Plus call the owners and tell them they forgot their snake!! Couldn’t pay me to live on or near water for that reason

I love your new home as is, it is a beautiful home and I love the Walnut floors. I recently did my kitchen in white and chose a white and black quartz countertop I also did muted gold drawer pulls and accents. I just love it..

Love your new home. But please rethink painting the library room. It would take away the closeness. Just put two big overstuffed chairs and a nice end table in between them. With good reading lamp, of course. Plus, have some darkish drapes. You have so many other rooms for a TV. This would give one room just for quite reading.

I love love, love KNOTTY Alderwood. I love the wood underneath your granite on the bar all the detail oh my gosh, it looks so rich, white and gold fixtures. They say are going out my architecture. Designer said don’t paint your cabinets white you’re telling me this is the house you wanna retire in because in seven years you’ll be redoing those white cabinets because they chip. White paint lays on top of the wood staingoes into the wood and will not chip. He was right when we built our house I changed my mind. Did not paint my kitchen cabinets white and I’m so thankful I did not go dark with a lighter stain Antique white from Sherwin-Williams.

I have maple cabinets that are just a touch lighter than her cabinets and in the kitchen I have quartz that looks like white marble. You need a contrast. Everything white will be way too much white. I think maybe I'd agree with her going with white baseboards and white crown molding. All that white -- yuck! I like the warmth of wood. Too much trying to change this house to be like the other house. Big waste of money. But, apparently they have money to burn.

The wood floors in the walk-in from the front door are gorgeous...use white stain not paint. Ask your painter if he sands it down and stains it a white he won't have to fill in all those rough spots could save you thousands. If he does the job right he has to sand it all down and then fill in all those uneven textured spots which he probably have to put almost a full coat of spackle over the whole door to make it even. Slow down and rethink some of it.or not... Congratulations enjoy

Hi Beth, I just love all the beautiful wood. I guess we each like different things. We live on a lake too that is larger than yours, but you will never tire of looking out. I like your idea of taking out the walls. Your heating bill be more because of all the open space. I would love to see video of the changes. At least you are a woman who knows what she wants. I am very happy you have recovered from your stroke. It will be very noisy with all the work being done, so you might want to get away a little and enjoy the outside.

The house has a lot of charm right now with the rich woods. I get a manor house feel to it. Get rid of the "boobie" light for sure and upgrade the lighting fixtures. Please stop chasing the trends that you will have to redo every couple of years. White, white, white everywhere can be very sterile and definitely is not the "vibe" of this lakefront home. I also question the white carpet in the basement? Wow, you have such a nice large basement! I could imagine having an in-law suite down there for sure. The wood trip on the fireplaces make it look very cozy, especially for the winter months. Also, please be mindful of the comps in your area, when and if you go through a large remodel, you will not get your money back in the comps.

You should seriously consider taking the hardwood throughout all bedrooms. It will look much better/fluid and easier to clean. Carpet collects so much dust. Also, you can then select area rugs for the bedrooms and change those out when or if needed/ wanted over time as your decor may change.

@marilynrybak9154 24 күн бұрын

When I purchased my current home, (all other homes were custom built) , the first thing I did was have all bedroom carpet removed and I did hardwood throughout. I am so happy and pleased I did hardwood even in all bedrooms. I have changed out my area rugs in the bathrooms, which I actually just got finished doing.

We did a complete remodeled our home also. I did white wood and quartz and do enjoy the quartz. It's almost marble looking but very little pattern and of course grey. I love it with the white cabinets. I do see why you want to lighten up the house inside. I'm the same way. I'd change all the fixtures personally especially with what you have said your changing and updating. Looking forward to seeing your improvements.

My thoughts exactly about them being wealthy?! Maybe she hasn’t had any quotes yet? Also her “basement” is bigger than our entire 3 bedroom house so all I could think was she must be super wealthy to do such a big Reno but also she must have a house keeper? I feel exhausted just at the thought of all of the house work involved! Even if it is only going to be the two of them there most of the time, somehow dust still manages to move into every nook and cranny 😢

Wow, what a find! I can't believe all the comments you have received. I agree, the floors and doors are beautiful. I wonder if it would be cost effective to sell the doors and replace them with white. Paint the trim and leave the wood floor; sanding it will help match new wood you want to add. Get rid of ALL the carpet. Congratulations and good luck - can't wait to see the progress.

Hi Beth, We moved into an older home a few years ago and remodeled it. I love white trim, but kept the doors like you have a darker brown so that they were not an orange color due to age. Have you thought about sanding and staining the walnut floors in the dining room and entry? They would be beautiful if they were stained darker to remove the orange color. I too love a white kitchen. We have white cabinets and a white quartz countertop. The island is stained dark to match the rest of the stain in the house. I’d love to send you pictures if you are interested. You have a beautiful home. Good luck with the renovation.

Well you said to give opinions on things. No criticism. Just suggestions from experience and being in the design business. Leave the walnut floors and refinish to a color of your liking, I have had both granite and quartz. I prefer quartz. I understand that you want to lighten up everything. People are either passionate about wood/stain, or love white/light. I'm not a fan of any of the light fixtures, sorry. Also, remove the tile entrance. Not necessary in KS. Love your inspiration pic on the jack and jill bath. I wish you the best on your remodel. I'm sure it will be lovely.
