Clearly your attention to detail with sewing has transferred to your new home! 🤩🤩🤩

The carpet color is Harvest Gold. Your choice at the time was that, Avocado Green, or Orange. You could match all your appliances, sinks, toilets, and bathtubs to your carpet.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Can’t wait to see the transformation. I trust your mother-in-law’s leg is healing well. Sounds like you have a very supportive family. Girl power!

I've been enjoying this new series! I'm so happy to see you both wearing good protection while you work. It's annoying, but so important. Good luck as you continue making your house a home!

Looking so clean and pretty, my husband and I did this hard work 50 years ago. You are doing a great job and you will appreciate this in years to come. Bravo!!😊

FYI, you should have used a scoring tool to make little holes in the wallpaper border before spraying it. That would have made it much easier to remove. I love this kind of video.

I'm so happy for you. It'll be a lovely house when you're done. I also like seeing a couple collaborate in such potentially stressful circumstances. You two are a great team.

Y'all are doing a great job! Reminds me of 14 years ago when I moved into my present home and slept in the basement on a blow up bed while ripping out paneling and carpeting so disgusting that I had to rip out the subflooring too. I had someone else install flooring and drywall but did all the sanding and painting of said drywalls--oh joya. Enjoy watching your progress and know you will look back and remember all the time and effort you put in.

You're both really putting in the hours and it'll be worth it! You'll be thanking past you for having a lovely (clean!! 😬) bedroom to relax in 😍👌💪👏👏

You both are doing a great job and you will be so happy to look back on this at the end. It makes such a big impact with a new paint job and all the cleaning you are doing. I can feel the house saying "thank you" for caring for me!! 😊

You both are doing a great job. I look forward to the videos. I'm having memories of when I purchased my first house and did lots of the repairs/remodel myself. At that time, I worked with older men who gave me lots of help, good advice and suggestions. Keep at it.

This is so satisfying to see transform. The old paint colors have me loling. Keep up the good work, so happy for you guys!

What a difference a coat of light, neutral paint makes! 😊 The bodged jobs some people do in the name of DIY (carpet on top of carpet? 🤔) beggar belief, not to mention colour schemes... But looking on the bright side, it does make the transformation so much more positive! 😊

You’re doing a great job! This series is bringing back so many memories of the first house we bought. So exhausting but also so rewarding! I remember being so excited by simple wins, like there only being one layer of carpet in one of the bedrooms. You literally feel like you won the lottery when those things happen!

An idea is to put the brand name and color of paint on a piece of tape on the back of the room's light switch plate. No guessing of paint color. I make a story board of my paints, fabrics, floor color, etc. easier to take with to match, shop, and check colors when out. Hello from Mason!

This looks like so much hard work, but you guys are killing it!

It's really coming along, Casey and Alan. The carpet under carpet was wild. YIKES. I think it's a good idea that you started doing the flooring in the bedrooms; by the time you get to the main living spaces, you guys will be pros at installation. Keep up the good (and dirty!) work! I hope you have an air purifier.

My windows get like that in a month. Depends on how dusty your road and area is. House is coming along well. Keep up the good work.

We will be remodeling our house soon and thankfully I have only one room I have not touched since moving in 29 years ago. Its the room I dread the most. Those light fixtures are commonly known as the boob light. Lol.

Wow! You guys are doing an amazing job. I know the pain & reward of renovating your own home. You will never regret your efforts.

Just found d your chanel today and new sub. We bought a house last fall built in 1965 from the 2nd owner who was in her 80’s. So many similarities to your home. After painting all ceilings, all walls, changing locks, light fixtures and new flooring it is still not finished but we have been living in the house for 6 months and still so much to do!

As far as wallpaper removal goes, sometimes it was better to just use hot water and a spray bottle, but sometimes using diluted fabric softener also helped a lot! And a wallpaper scorer tool. So proud of you guys!

I'm going to be doing the same things next month when my house (hopefully!) closes, so I'm definitely watching so many of these kinds of videos. 😁

You’re both troopers! It’s amazing what you can do when you’re up against a deadline.😂 We finally bought a small steamer to remove wallpaper because there were several layers in some rooms in the house we bought. Most of it was stuck pretty tight, too!😳 I sprayed and scraped so much that it was doing lots of damage in the master bathroom, so we decided we needed that steamer!🤦

You can drop the housing of the ceiling fan so you can paint up under where it touches the ceiling. Cover the fan blades from splatters if you don't remove them.

You guys are doing a fantastic job. So thorough with the cleaning and prep which will please you so much when you move in. Loved the aged beige Color plus the flooring Color. Looking forward to the next instalment. 😎

Watching your progress is much more enjoyable than working on my own, haha! I'm a year into my "new" house renovation. The house was built in 1982 and I have found some weird stuff, too. I scraped painted joint compound texture off of 2 layers of floral and gingham wallpaper in the kitchen which took FoReVer, but completely changed the look of the area. It's amazing how much you learn doing most of the work yourself! I used LVP throughout the downstairs except for bathrooms and laundry room and I absolutely love it. This will probably be the last time I buy a fixer upper. I'm so tired. 😅

We used this flooring in our house and I love it!!! It has been in for about 7 years and it still looks brand new

Looking so good! Hot water and vinegar in a spray bottle will get that wallpaper off. I bought a 110 year old home and the one room had at least a dozen layers of paper on it. I ended up having to rent a wallpaper steamer because of it. Plus there was paint between some of the layers. It was a nightmare. 🤦‍♀🫣 I love how the house is shaping up for you and the new floors and paint make a huge difference and really open up the rooms and make them so much more light and airy. 🥰❤👍

Y’all are epic! Thanks for taking us along! ❤ Diann

Casey you will love your floors! We installed the same floors in our current home 5 years ago and it still looks beautiful. We have a 80 pound bloodhound so definitely the floors get a workout. We are building a new house and will put in the same flooring. Congrats on your home.

Looking so great! Y'all are doing a great job! So much work whew!

Well, thanks a lot, Casey. After watching you two work, I’m too exhausted to do anything for the rest of the day!!!!🤣

It's all looking so good! 👍

Looks so good so far. I can't wait to see the final results. What a great house. And so many trees outside. Thanks for sharing

Glad that you're actually creating a worth remembering memories on how much stuff works your way 😉🤫😊🙏🏻❤️

This is great! Thank you for sharing.

I had to scrape up that black pad stuff in a large room last year. The most efficient way by far was to scrap off the top layer and then spray it down with water and let it soak a bit. I would scrape one section while another was soaking. I also used a steam cleaner, which sped up the process a bit more.

Good job! I know it is alot of work right now, but it is going to feel great once you have it done!

I love to paint! I get such a sense of accomplishment when I see the clean, happy new paint up on the wall. My husband and I moved into my childhood home in 1997, my father built it with my uncles in 1962. At the time, we lived in the partially finished basement as they worked on the upstairs. I was a toddler but have a lot of memories. My dad hadn’t changed anything before it came into our hands, and it needed a lot of work. He put 1960’s wood paneling on all the walls, and I painted over them all. The ceiling was the hardest to paint, it seemed to suck in the paint and took me forever. We did not take the old kitchen cabinets out but I painted over the stained wood and it’s lasted well. When we took up the old carpet, we found my toddler footprints on the dining room floor! I must have gotten into the paint. I don’t remember that, lol. But I was always getting into things when they were all trying to built it. You will look back on this and have great memories and have a wonderful sense of accomplishment!

So interesting and tiring! We’ve done a few Reno’s and it’s a lot of work! We did vinyl flooring in our house, bathroom and entry and have never been sorry, very durable. It’s been 10 years and still looks the same

I totally agree on tack cloth!!! Great tool!!!

Resourceful. That’s what you and Mr. Pattern Scout are feeling. It’s a great feeling. Lovely paint color choice, btw-since you can bring color into the room with fabric (and change it out seasonally).

We have that floor in our whole house and I love it. Paint actually comes up pretty easy from it. Ask me how I know. 😂 I am terrible at covering floors or taping stuff off when I am painting. I just keep a damp microfiber cloth close by when I am painting. But even if I have found dried drips it just comes right up. I have used a fingernail or a little plastic scraper and it just flicks off. We did a pretty big sewing room remodel in January/February (knocking down a wall, flooring, paint, etc.) and I don't envy you at all. 😅 Its a lot of work! It will be so good after you are all done.

I've seen that glued on black foam underpadding on so many reno videos. I'm so glad my 1960's fixer upper didn't have any of that.

Y'all are killing it! It looks so much better and it's so smart of you to get yourself a nice neutral consistent backdrop to work with.

Your home already looks so much cleaner! It will be beautiful!

Vinegar and water mixed works great to remove wallpaper.

I loved watching your remodel videos. I watched the kitchen demo first and good Lord I could tell those cabinets were built to last on there...Oh btw, I really love your wide plank flooring. When we did our floors I fell in love with a wood called "tiger wood" but at the time I couldn't get it in the wide plank so we got the regular size...it still looks beautiful but oh how I envied your floors. Can't wait to see the next video and how you decorate everything. You are going to be beside yourself when you get moved in. Hope your mother in law's leg is healing well. See ya next video.

It must smell so much better in there!

Looking good! ❤

Your hard work and determination stands out.

Yayyyy! Looking soooo good!!! Very excited for you both!

Great idea to get the samples and put on your floors. The hallway looks bigger once you took down the wallpaper & trim. Looking good!

Oh my. About 40 years ago, we did the same thing…with a newborn and a 4 year old in tow. The grossest thing was the shag carpet in the BATHROOM. Ugh! The paint is making a huge difference and the floors look great too.

Oh, I remember this all too well. Your turn. :D. Little at a time, you guys are a great team.

What a nice house. You will love it when you are done. Good work.

You guys are doing such a great job!!! Love watching it come together ❤

It’s all looking SO nice!! You are going to love your home ❤

Love watching how everything is going and can't wait to see the next one!

The windows are the same size, but originals would have slid sideways to open, which did look better.

Hi, I'm assuming that you've moved in by now, and I hope you are able to rest up a bit and enjoy the non-chaos parts of the house. I was so happy seeing you pull up those nails and nobody had to go to the emergency department. I hear those things are well on the good side of any job like this. I've had the fortune to not needing to learn how to do these things in life, but then again I've never wanted to live in a house. Neither has my husband so that is all good. I'm looking forward to your next installment in the series about how you made your house to a home. yours, Ann

You'll want to remove all the faceplates before painting. Tape the screws to the back so you don't lose them.

You guys are doing awesome! Kickin' and taking names!! The carpet situation was a nightmare, but you persevered, and the new flooring looks great! Seriously, that is hard work-YAY, YOU!! 🙌

Wow! You are doing an amazing job! Is your husband a carpenter? The flooring looks great!

Aww, why didn't you leave the wallpaper dado rail in the hall?🤣 No, looks great already

Great house. 🏠

Please tell me you are painting all that brown mill work around the window and doors? please?

Oh, we encountered carpet on carpet on black foam before. In a bathroom. Yuck

Did you make or buy your green tank top?

You're a whiz with removing the trim without spoiling it. Someone could re-use it. Maybe you want to put some of it back on? If not, maybe Habitat for Humanity would like it, or the wood looking flooring you took up.

I've seen flooring laid upon flooring. But never carpet on carpet. [facepalm] PS: I think your house belies the ever-present real estate agent cry of "paint everything neutral! decorate your house for the next people!" advice. Sounds like they didn't even clean...

You guy are making such good progress. I love watching these videos. Can’t wait for more before and after. (P.S. I use Qtips to clean so many nooks and crannies in my house!) 😊
