For anyone new watching, just a few painting tips. Get an extension pole for the roller frame, it makes all the difference and makes painting easier. You should paint.too to bottom and maintain a wet edge. This will keep paint from looking patchy. If you don't have time to finish a wall at a corner then don't even begin. Pigments settle in paint and if you go back to an unpainted area next to a painted one the color could look off. Constantly stir paint while painting. Don't roll back over a painted area once covered, the roller cover will start to pull paint off the wall. Finally, painting tools should be of the best quality, they can make a $20.00 can of paint look like a $100.00 can of paint. Look at her before and afters, paint it the most dramatic change that can be made for the least amount of money. Look how much satisfaction she has from doing it herself. Well done!

you were so brave opening that paint on your new counter.

Kind of loved the old pink door!

I‘m a crafty person like you, but still...so freaking impressive what you do by yourself. Those covers for the pipes in the toilet - very cool!

SOMEONE GET HER A TV SHOW... This is so much better then watching a home and garden channel. I love the raw footage. I painted my entire 2500 sq ft home and it was a ton of work! I can't imagine doing a full reno. I also painted all my bathrooms dark and I loved it. Made the white porcelain pop! Also that pink door was kinda growing on me... But it obv needed to be repaired.... Xoxooxoxooxoxoxo

It would actually be better to bring the door outside in the garden and do all the needed work there... Better access, more fresh air and no dirt in the house.

Good call on changing the bathroom box bits to black. Really makes it blend in and allows the new white fixtures and decor to pop!

I can't believe you didn't even go to school for this...You're doing full on HGTV House Flips like a pro! 💁 Great job girl! I'm not sure why you don't yet have a TV slot somewhere on a DIY channel, but I'm sure it's definitely in your future if you wanted to go that route! ♡

Every room has such lovely windows that let in so much light. Really loving what you guys are doing with all the rooms. Hoping you guys get a nice warm autumn, renovationg while it's cold is no fun

I really admire you doing all this by yourself! Love how the bathroom turned out, i'd have never thought to use that sort of colour but it looks amazing!

I love all the progress you're making! Your home is looking so lovely! I can't wait to see more

Wow you are so creative! It is amazing what you did to your home. Everything is coming along so beautiful!

You work so hard! Looks amazing - super impressed with your DIY skills x

I love your style and that you are completely renovating this amazing piece of history. I noticed in your Q&A that you said this is your first time really doing something like this. You have picked up a lot of amazing skills and you are doing really well. But I can see some things that while they dont show up on camera well, will be visible in person and may slowly start to bug you. I say this having been in your shoes about 5 years ago doing my first reno. There were things I did not know to do and later on I started noticing them or others did and it just drove me crazy every time I saw them. So please dont take this as a detraction from a lot of the wonderful work you have done. Rather just a way to polish your skills. 1. Take the door off the hinges. I know it seems annoying and like a lot of work now, but you are going to see that door everyday for as long as you own this house. An extra hour or two now is really miniscule in the end. 2. Strip the door. I know you said that it didnt strip well, but there are many different strippers for different paints. Also test for lead in a house this old (tests are $3 at the hardware store and will save you a lot of health issues). Finally even without the tests, get a mask with filters, even when sanding it goes a long way towards protecting you. But you want as much paint off as possible or it will never really look completely smooth with how much the paint has chipped off over the years. 3. I know you lost the woodfiller but its worth the extra trip to get another one, fill it, sand it, fill it, sand it, let it set for a bit and make sure its smooth. Like I said, its extra time now but you literally see this door everyday. Wood filler will hold up better over time and blend/bond better. 4. Gloss paint shows any and every imperfection and rarely goes on smooth with a roller. Get a cheap and easy to manage paint sprayer (I use a critter sprayer, literally a glass mason jar, so few parts so its easy to clean and insanely cheap) and use a little paint thinner so it goes on smoother. Is it more coats? yes, but the finish will be so much cleaner. Not to mention cuts down painting time for pretty much any painting project. Always stir your paint really well before you pour more or use, med-high gloss settles fast and needs to be remixed. The sprayer helps avoid lines from brushes and rollers Bathroom 1. keep a wet paper towel with you while painting, if you drip some paint like you did somewhere you dont want, swipe it really fast. The water will keep the paint from leaving any color pigments behind. Its worth it to not have to repaint the entire window sill because you couldnt get all the color off. 2. Its wonderful that you worked out fitting the floors so well. But next time pull out the toilet (much easier than you think) and put the flooring in around the flange, the toilet will then cover the edges of the floor. It seems like you used silicone to hide the gap but you never want to do that, because silicone traps water under the toilet so if for any reason it leaks water whenever flushed you wont know and it can rot your floors, in this case damaging the concrete. Ideally the toilet is one of the last things you want to install because then the plumbers can account for the height of the floor etc. But I understand you probably didnt have the time to get them in beforehand. 3.Your carpentry skills are great for learning as you go. But consider getting a countersink or pocket jig (both very cheap and easy to use) to hide your screws and nails, fill with wood filler and sand then paint. You can also use trim, quarter round etc to hide little gaps or awkward join spots. It looks so professional, its so cheap and no one will know its to hide your edges. I love your videos and look forward to all the before and afters of this house.

Amazing!! I love how the house looks like now and i‘m so exited for the final befor/after tour when everything is done!

Great job!! Love those paint colors you choose, the renovations are coming along nicely. Looking forward to the big final reveal ❤

I just love all the colours you're using in every room of your house. They make it look so pretty, comfortable and peaceful!

Everything is looking amazing! You’re doing a fantastic job and most importantly I feel you are being real and honest about the entire process. Can’t wait to see the final product!

Oh yes! Another video 😊 I love your diyaries! Looks so nice!

Wow your house is coming together so nicely! I'm in love!

I love the blue gray colour too. Good choice!

Awesome work! Thank you for sharing your journey with us. 💗🌷👌🏻

It all looks so so good!! Your hard work is definitely paying off

I'm always so excited when I see a notification for one of your videos! Especially when it's a diy-ary one!❤

Love the flock of seagulls shade so much, I'm going to use it!

i love how nicely your house is coming together. 💛

I love that you share the downs as well as the ups in your videos. To be honest when I look at diy videos I am intimidated by how perfect everything turns out for these people and when I have a go it's a dogs dinner! That puts me off trying anything new. So thank you for being honest along the way and documenting it for us because it makes the journey more "human" and relatable. You have done incredibly well!

Hey Hermione! Congrats! I love your style and I know how exciting is to make over your own home, so congratulations for your work and for having everything ready to live there!

Great job lady!!! That bathroom looks so good!! And the color of the dining room is amazing.

Love love how the bathroom turned out!!

Great job with the bathroom! I too love the way paint can change the feel of a space.

Wow!! Love it. Your great at doing that remodeling.

Hi Hermione you are so talented.... great work girl👍 with the painting and the boxing in of pipe work. I love your vlogs. Excellent work. Take care xx

That blue gray color in the first room is amazingggg, also loving the tiny pops of pink from the pans on the kitchen wall and the soap bottle in the bathroom.

I love the “this is not a tutorial” disclaimers lol. Everything looks beautiful, keep it up!

I just love how the little bathroom turned out! It is really uncommon and something special :) Love from Switzerland

I'm really impressed with how you tackled the bathroom! You did a great job and the house is coming along very nicely. Have a nice day and good luck!

Loving these videos! I recently bought my first house, a little country cottage and I am having so much fun decorating it.

Everything turned out great. The bathroom was adorable. You wete so right about the white boards. Love your vlogs.

Wow! Amazing job girl! You are amazing, this house is going to be so cool

You have come a long way and I’m proud of all the hard work you have put into your home. Great job.

Seriously in awe of your skills (and determination!) The bathroom looks amazing.

You have such talent and I love all the textures you use

Love the black half bathroom!!! Great job.

I get so excited when I see a notification from you I just love how your home is coming together one of my dream is to restore a older home with lots of character, I just love your home and you and hubby doing a beautiful job

Your creativity is so inspiring!!! You are doing an amazing job on this home!

I am so impressed by everything you have done so far. Good luck with the rest and can't wait to see a house tour 😍

I'm obsessed with these videos! Don't stop making them 😅❤

You are doing such an wonderful job. The house looks gorgeous and has such character and charm as well as a comfy elegance. The fact that you are doing it yourself is amazing. You should be so proud of it, you have turned an old house into a truly beautiful home.

your house is coming together amazingly! I'm so impressed by how handy you are with doing so much yourself its very impressive!

Love your colour choices.

My respect for so dedicated work. Your house is turning very nice.

You are amazing!! You inspire a lot! You do incredible things 😘❤️ thank’ s for sharing.

I am so proud of you. It is looking BEAUTIFUL! You have come so far.

Very impressed with your handy skills work that saw girl xx

The amount of sweat equity you’ve both put into your home is admirable!! 💕🤗

It is so inspiring to see your house turn into your home. I would love to know how you decide what needs to be replaced and what can be salvaged. The pink door looked to me as something that cannot be salvaged so when you rescued it, I was really eye opening. Also, I am looking to repaint my own kitchen and other DIY's, so if you have any helpful tips on how to use tools interchangeably, it would be really helpful! I liked your comment on the filler, even though it wasnt a wood filler, it still worked. Things like that are helpful.

Your hair always looks so perfect! Love these videos xx

I have to say I'm impressed by the type and amount of work you are doing yourself. Renovation is not an easy task. It takes getting dirty, scraped, scratched and sore. But the end result can be amazing. Not everyone is able to do all the types of things you do, but I have to say I applaud the efforts you make and the lessons you share. Looking forward to seeing the next steps.

The bathroom is gorgeous! My favourite room so far!

So glad I just discovered your channel. I'm already binge watching! You're super talented!

You are Killin it girl and all on your own! 🙌🏽

I hate to say it, but I actually liked the pink door 😳 Part of me really wants to see what it would look like if it were painted a very very very VERY pale pink to pay homage to the old door and to be a subtle nod to the pink motifs in the rest of your home 🤗 I love what you’re doing with this home and I’m truly inspired by all of your hard work and creativity! Keep it up, girl 😚💕

great colors ..love them

Loving the toilet artwork 😂👍💟 beautiful colour, would love a library that colour, well done 👍👍👍your house is starting to look like home

I love this series so much

Oh the bathroom turned out so nice!

I love how your house is turning out!!! It looks so good!!!! ❤️❤️

Wow that door transformation is amazing!! Well done

Yay another home renovation video xxxxx

Hi Hermione!! I genuinely enjoy your videos because you inspire me to always try and create nice little things by myself which I can use for school or to decorate around a bit. It's simply nice to have some handmade things in your house and most of all, in my case at least, in my own little and private space, which is my bedroom, as I think by doing so you personalize your space which ends up becoming more "yours" in a way (hope it makes sense!). Anyway, I really love the way the door turned out! I bet you spent hours and hours working on it! Good job gal! Love from Italy

I love the wooden cover painted black so glad you changed it!

Your home is coming together quite nicely!!! Your hard work and dedication is so relaxing to watch because you are patient and not rushing the results!! Kudos to you👍🏽TFS😊

You guys are doing a great job! Seeing you do so many projects makes me want to try some at my little California cottage!

so satisfying to watch....and wow you did the small bathroon on your own 👏

I CAN’T WAIT FOR YOU TO FINISH THE HOUSE! It’s going to look so nice and hope we get a “before & after” house tour! 💖

That bathroom tranformation...wow!!!

Loving your home renovation series💕

It’s looking great!!

You are amazing! Its brilliant you did all the work yourself. Especially the boxing in of the bathroom. I just did mine and paid someone skilled as I had no idea how do any of it and am scared of power tools. At this rate your beautiful house will soon be done. Love the changes.

Yay! So happy you posted 😄😄😄

Very beautiful!!

Omg this looks like so much fun!!

Love your vids - I’m diy-ing my new place at the moment and have found that a paint pole that attaches to your roller makes painting the upper half of the walls and ceilings soooo much easier! No ladders and coming up and down needed’

Wow what a difference paint can make:D Your house is really coming together, such a difference from that early housetour that looked like it take forever for the house to be liveable but you really know your renovation & decoration, wow!

the bathroom looks just amazing, you did such a good job!

I am loving these videos!!!

That bathroom looks great! I'm loving the dark powder room trend!

wow it looks amazing

Yesss you have no idea how happy I am to see that masking tape, it was stressing me out seeing you paint your walls so close to the edge without any tape on hahahaha Anyway, love the dark blue!

I applaud you! You have done a lot of work to get to where you love your place more. What an accomplishment! I'm also a "do-er" so I know how good it feels.

Great job! You are very inspiring.

It‘s amazing to see this development. (And I fell in love with the seagull-paint and the „who farted“-picture 😃)

Good call on the little bathroom girl. It looks so much better the blue/black color you used. I just what you're doing to the house hunny. ♥️♥️♥️

I love so much the transformation in the bathroom

U r the best !!! I mean you're doing everything yourself well done such a great job 💕

Your such an inspiration! Love your videos! X

You are incredibly talented, and arr doing an amazing job!😃😊

The bathroom turned out so cute with the box painted the dark color!!!
