The kids picked the artwork... from a Pre selection that is.. Right?!!

Bonnie Lee commented on 05 Nov 2015

I know, right, it feels like her kids aren't allowed to be kids!

Theres only one bathroom for a family of five? Thats gotta suck..

CrescentMoon4937 commented on 20 Sep 2015

I have a family of six and our small bathroom is plenty enough, it doesn't suck as much as you think

Ravii Ray commented on 28 Jun 2015

BUT WHAT IF IT RAINS OMG THEN THE SOFAS ON THE DECK WILL GET ALL WET

ImElliee commented on 26 Jul 2015

I was about to say the same thing.

Emma Elizabeth Davis commented on 17 Jul 2015

+Ravii Ray There are special outdoor fabrics that repel moisture/are made to stand up to the elements.

Sherry Ye commented on 08 Jul 2015

That's what I wonder, too.

Nazifa H commented on 05 Jul 2015

That's what I was thinking

Sanne xly commented on 01 Jun 2015

Where is the bathroom?

Emma Elizabeth Davis commented on 17 Jul 2015

+Sanne xly It's just an outhouse and a tin tub shared by the neighbors lol

dailyinsanities commented on 04 Jul 2015

Lol thats a good question since they got rid of it in the kitchen area

Bobette Bryan commented on 14 May 2015

Wow! They did such a fabulous job with this house! I love it! I would like to know where they put the bathroom as they said they'd removed the small bathroom near the kitchen.

Bobette Bryan commented on 14 May 2015

+Bobette Bryan I found a photo of the bathroom here. It looks like it's off the kitchen.//www.styleathome.com/homes/interiors/interior-cheerful-contemporary-family-home/a/51026/8

The place looks like it's staged for a TV show or an interior decorator's magazine ad. Except for the dog, there's no sign of life and it looks like no life is permitted.

Bonnie Lee commented on 05 Nov 2015

+Grace Faith Maybe or perhaps the mother doesn't let her kids be kids!

mufasa2005 commented on 20 Jul 2015

+Alicia en el pais de las maravillas that's what i like about it too. it's simple yet so beautiful :)

Alicia en el pais de las maravillas commented on 19 Jul 2015

+mufasa2005 its kind of a nice commentary though that even with a small simple house and with kids it can still be decorated beautifully even the deck

mufasa2005 commented on 09 Jul 2015

+Grace Faith that's true

Grace Faith commented on 09 Jul 2015

+mufasa2005 The kids are probably just like their parents.. very simple, clean. Not everyone's kids are chaotic.. I've seen some well behaved ones.

mufasa2005 commented on 29 Jun 2015

+46619TAB esp with kids!!!!!!!!!!!!! that was definitely before the kids got there, bc there is no way a 4, 6, and -- what was it -- 8 yr old could keep the house so pristine. there's just no way.and if you look out her balcony, it just looks like shit, and she had this nice ass house. doesn't make sense. where i live, that's inviting ppl to steel your shit. there's just too much inconsistencies. i don't buy it.

Cass Gonmiah commented on 13 Jun 2015

I thought so too! Kids definitely don't live there, or they JUST finished renovations.. Museum-like...

this is beautiful. we own a small home (900 square feet) and desperately want to start the renovation process. can't wait to get started.

Kurt Huck commented on 21 Dec 2015

GREAT job! Way to go with the estate sale! Let others do the work and get paid for it. Just what I would do too...

Jose Solis commented on 03 Nov 2015

wow this house has the same style as mine. might get some ideas when I start renovating my home.

TrueRealEstatePros commented on 07 Oct 2015

Nicely documented. Gives a realistic idea of what can typically be found in estate sale deals.

j lewis commented on 04 Dec 2015

Would you mind sharing what the total reno costs were on this property?

Santos Colla commented on 30 Aug 2015

Wow! Amazing! Thanks for sharing. Will be copying your kitchen design.

Very good video. What is the name of the sound track please?

Willy Cardenas commented on 10 Sep 2015

It's one of the songs that comes with windows vista on the media player

Dotti Bach commented on 21 May 2015

I see that the Americans do not build long-lasting and safe houses. We Hungarians was only limestone and brick concrete plates. A tornado is a smooth take yours . BIG LOL

Dotti Bach commented on 21 May 2015

As a large dog house .

William Joseph commented on 29 Dec 2014

so they put the hardwood floor planks directly on the floor joist!? 1:47 Guess they had no other option...Love that craftsmen bungalow style

summer fields commented on 27 Jan 2015

Yes, two is better than one. :)

William Joseph commented on 27 Jan 2015

lol well just think. We have subfloors for a reason. The finish floor should not stand alone. If it ever weakens you could fall right through to the basement. 2 is better then 1 :) Check out some more videos you'll see what I mean.

summer fields commented on 27 Jan 2015

Yeah...I don't get it!

William Joseph commented on 27 Jan 2015

+summer fields Well the 3/4" plywood subfloor would allow the hardwood floor planks to rest on top. The planks are the finished floor and should not serve as a subfloor. They might have problems down the line when that finish floor sags between the joist due to various weight and traffic

summer fields commented on 27 Jan 2015

I just don't see how the flooring would hold up with a subfloor either!

William Joseph commented on 27 Jan 2015

+summer fields I agree...but some builders are known for "cutting corner" when nobody is looking. In this case I think they was just saving money on plywood. I'd have to view the video again because I'm wondering how they would have installed partition walls running parallel with the floor joists without a subfloor

summer fields commented on 27 Jan 2015

Yeah, I don't get it either but the house sure looks well done and like they put so much time, effort, money and talent into it, so how could they not do that right?

William Joseph commented on 27 Jan 2015

+summer fields Well from my understanding a 3/4 subfloor of any kind would create the necessary strength need for a floor. I don't think what they did is legal.

summer fields commented on 27 Jan 2015

I noticed that too but I guess since it's in Texas there isn't an issue with insulation needs. I guess...right?

Storage unit, Friends house, garage, parents house, if you don't have much then in a car or a van, if you have a lot then a lorry, Etc... <3

Beautiful home! What is the color of the wall paint going up the stairs and down the hallway? love the color

Hey Whitney if u had been a artist u just finished ur masterpiece !! What eye for design !! Looks beautiful may I ask the wainscot are they panels or custom done with trim ? Thank u

Whitney Hill commented on 02 Nov 2015

+James Showe Sorry James, somehow missed this-- thanks for the comment! The wainscot in the bathrooms is PVC panels from Home Depot. The shadow boxes throughout the rest of downstairs and hall are custom done with trim.

Tina H. commented on 11 Apr 2015

We just purchased our first home (1918 colonial) that needs to be fully renovated. Your video was extremely helpful and has given us great ideas for our home. May I ask if you kept the original hardwood floors and had them refinished, or did you replace them? Also, were there any websites or online stores that you found useful during your research? Thank you for sharing this video of your beautiful home!

Tina H. commented on 16 Apr 2015

Great, thank you so much!

Whitney Hill commented on 14 Apr 2015

Minwax Jacobean is the stain

Tina H. commented on 14 Apr 2015

Wow thank you for all the info! The original wood floors in our house are still in good condition, so we're thinking of having them refinished as well. What was the stain that you used for the floors? We love the color!

Whitney Hill commented on 13 Apr 2015

+Tina H. Happy to hear it! We had the original floors refinished, plus extended the wood a few places it was not before, e.g. kitchen (side note, we've had no problems with wood in there-- just need to get spills wiped up quickly, but we would do that anyway!). Houzz is great for ideas and we used Pintrest so we could both save ideas we found (see our boards here: https://www.pinterest.com/whitney05012010/). Sources we used a lot were HomeDecorators, Wayfair, RestorationHardware, LightingDirect, FaucetWarehouse, StevesBlinds, RugsUSA, HomeDepot, and of course Amazon. Be sure to sign up for Ebates as well, we saved hundreds during the reno since 1-6% off purchases can add up! Also try buying gift cards at a discount (GiftCardGranny.com is a good aggregator) to save another 5-10% depending on the store.

Aunt Sha commented on 29 Mar 2015

I think you needed another color to bring warmth into a few areas. In combination with the lack of personal items, it felt more than a little cold, although beautifully done.

Whitney Hill commented on 30 Mar 2015

Agree, we need to post an update since we have since gotten many bright pieces up on the walls!
