Mmmm I don't want my room to ignite. Light up, maybe. Ignite, no. That would be bad 🔥

About 10 years ago, we were contemplating what tile to use in our kitchen. I was looking at the small glass tiles. An architect friend told me they would be out of style and our home would look dated. I chose an off white, creamy subway tile. I still love it.

Came right back didn’t it!😍👍

I inherited a lot of crystal from my grandmother a number of years ago. I use it all the time. Even when we barbecue burgers. I love it so much. It’s so beautiful and it reminds me of my grandma.

I think as a designer it is great that you are able to do so much handiwork and can show it to us on this video. It adds to your professional credibility.

I love the positive energy. You always look as flawless as your creations. Your beautiful heart radiates. So great to see positivity these days.

I just can't get over watching you handle those great big power tools like a PRO. That's amazing. Go girl.

😊 thank you and you are capable too!

So many do-it-yourself type videos don't tell you how things hold up in the years ahead. That is very important to me. Thank you for being upfront and honest and sharing that information with us!

I can’t get over how you made your own fireplace! You go girl! I wish I was young again with all these new ideas!

I'm feeling the same about cut crystal! I just recently pulled a cut crystal candy dish out of my storage room that I got as a wedding present 30+ years ago. It's displayed right now in my china hutch 😍

Nice video. We went to open houses yesterday and several had intense fragrances from candles or plug ins. We could barely spend time in the house it was so overwhelming. My throat hurt the rest of the day. You can light a candle for 30 mins then snuff them out so the large % of us who have bad reactions to these fake fragrances can occupy spaces too. We both wondered what was the odor these places were working so hard to cover up. The non toxic recomendations you made are great and the cooking of fruit slices and spices is a good way to go. ty!

Thank you for saying this! These fragrances, including laundry scents, make many people ill.

Great suggestions! So many in one video! I appreciate your honesty in admitting past decorating mistakes because we've all done it! Thank you for recognizing that most of us cannot afford major renovations. Your ideas on just making small, affordable changes are appreciated.

You are easy to listen to and watch. Always have loved timeless interiors. Traditional with a slight twist... for 54 years

Thats another thing. My baseboards are short cause the terracotta tile was done over the baseboards. I have tall baseboards everywhere else. I was thinking about just adding thin pieces of molding to make the baseboard look taller.

Your hair looks amazing in the curtain hanging video! As a retired hairdresser, I have to say that a Bob is always classic and timeless. I really enjoyed this video:thank you.

Hi Natalee, I think these ideas helped me sell our home before moving into a home we have now in the country. I have put my curtains up higher than the windows and so the edge of the curtains are at the edge of your window giving you more light. Our old place i hated to leave it because i had invested so much time and energy paying attention to details and really trying to finish the project i started instead of moving onto the next project and the next project until you are so over whelmed you don't want to do anything else. I do have something to add to that if you take a break between your projects and set yourself the goal of finishing that project then take a break of a couple of days or a couple of weeks i think that is what helped me in the long run to finish the projects i start. I have done tiling, plumbing electrical painting and decorating from start to finish. Home depot has Books you can buy on how to do electrical, plumbing tilework, painting, taking off popcorn ceiling yes even that(by the way i hate popcorn ceilings with a passion). My last house had them and when i left that house the only popcorn ceiling that remained was in my stairwell and that is because i don't like heights either. Its a lot of work but it is so rewarding when it was all done. I even made up faux 12x12 marble contact paper tiles in our powder room, I picked two different contact paper online they have the wide rolls or Dollar tree has it Walmart. (Disclaimer) i do not recommend it for a full bathroom or putting this technique over existing tiles if your going to do the marble or onyx route do it the proper way with the right stone actual stone. I made the wall behind my toilet look high end by doing this because water isn't running down the wall you can use tape for the gaps i used Gold tape to make it look like grout lines between them and i was impressed with the way it turned out. Natalee we are going to have to exchange emails so i can send you some of the work i have done. In my hugh barn that was originally used as a cow barn with pigs and goats and a couple of horses but the barn needs some TLC she needs a little love bless her she is 150 years old and she is still holding her own with post and beam construction i can easily have a dance floor or wedding venue on the upper level and put in a hay loft above that and still have room for an aviary for my chickens of the future and geese and maybe a couple of Pea fowl. (Peacock and Peahen). There were two pens in the barn that were just bars with really heavy gates on and i turned them into horse stalls by encasing the bars which are in concrete and they would not be easy to tear down without very large man with a very large hammer to know the heavens right out of it so i encased the bars in wood. Soft wood because of cribbing (which is Gnawing at the wood) horses can be poisoned by the oils from the wood if ingested so the horsey people will know what i am talking about) So i converted them into new stalls once the muck was removed. i cleaned the bars with a wire brush and i plan on painting the bars when it is warm enough in the spring. I have always loved home décor and i have been watching You tube for years for inspiration and i found it in you and Lisa Burningham. I don't think we would have sold our house so quickly as we did is i had not been watching you ladies for inspiration and the confidence to get it done right. So thank you ladies so much. I appreciate you so much.

I believe that the reason clear and clutter-free looks expensive is because it shouts, "I have plenty of storage!" What's more luxurious than storage? :)

OMG Natalie! Is there NOTHING that you can’t do? You are such an inspiration

I too LOVE the black and white checkered floor. This video had me hooked from start to finish. Bless you Natalee.

What I love about your channel is that you will try to build anything - on your own!! Kudos to you!

I wish people would stop ripping out 1950s high-quality bathroom tile on the floors and walls in fun colors (pink, blue, green, etc.). The craftsmanship of these bathrooms are amazing. Please please keep the personality in these bathrooms and don't replace the colored sinks and bathtubs either. They are fun and give a home character!

I like bright and airy colors in my spaces espically in small rooms, so white in the kitchen is a go for me. A portable fireplace is absolutely in my future. My granddaughter has one in her camper trailer and its awesome I've always loved them !!

My, my, my Natalie…is there anything you can’t do? You are SO AMAZING!!! I LOVE all your DIYs! I’m almost 60 and you’re teaching me a lot! Thank you for ALL your hard work teaching us how to diy. I just LOVE your channel! I’m always telling friends about your channel.❤❤❤

I love all your ideas! Yes, I’m a plant-flower killer, too! My friend actually gave me a succulent telling me I couldn’t kill it. It lasted quite awhile. 😢

Every morning I am playing and throughout the day. So great for our souls.

Love all the suggestions. Can't wait to see what you do in your new house. Have a wonderful weekend.

I am a Real Estate Agent in The Bahamas and love your ideas, not only for myself but my clients as well. Your designs work well in the tropics too.

I have never enjoyed trendy decor styles/stuff (flip flops, red trucks, gnomes, farmhouse, etc...). Of course, I respect others choices, it's just not for me personally. Only 4 minutes in and I agree with everything you've suggested, which is why I've followed you for soooo long! Now, back to the rest of the content! 😜❤

You are one of my favorite decorator, classic never changed!!❤

Just keep your signature styled that express your personality 🎉❤😊

I really like a lot of your ideas as I am on a tight budget and some of your ideas I have been wanting to do so I will look deeper onto it . Thankyou

Oh! I can go one better in the "mis-matched appliances" category. I was house shopping and looking at an older home with a black stove top, harvest gold wall ovens, an almond stove hood, a white refrigerator, a stainless steel sink, and a dishwasher with a decorative panel. I still can't believe I'm typing this and I wouldn't have believed it until I saw it with my own eyes - the panel was a print of giant sunflowers with gnomes peeking out from behind the flowers. 😂 A simple mid-grade appliance package from Costco would do so much for that poor kitchen! Love your ideas - I am SO glad you found a good functional medicine doctor and my prayers are with you. How on earth did you pick up so many heavy metals?

Thank you so much for all the tips and tricks. I am looking forward to seeing one about your forever home! Hugs

Just found your channel, and I have to say, I LOVE and appreciate how real you are...how you offer budget friendly options and how to avoid costly mistakes (like painting countertops). We are moving house this year and am looking forward to implementing some of your ideas. Thank you!

All of those are fantastic ideas! We live in a parsonage, my husband is a Pastor! The home has not really been taken care of, so you have given a lot of great ideas! Thank you!❤️

Whew! I made it to the end. I don’t generally watch the long video’s but because I admire your work and advise I have wanted to watch this. I had seen quite a lot of this but I really liked seeing it again. I live in an Independent Senior Facility so making changes are limited. I have found a few things to decorate with that will pick things up. Next I am going to try for some good paint. Maybe if I do it myself they will let me! Thanks for all the motivation you do! I would love to see the ladies finished or updated home. Thank you!

I love your suggestions. You do not hodgepodge like many other KZread decorators.

Thank you very much , for the inspiration ideas and timeless on a budget , I love that❤❤❤❤❤

When I did my diy reglazing tub and tile it's been 15 yrs and cost us under $100 still going strong I also painted out my wall paper you can't tell it was ever there haven't lifted no issues also for wall paper at the top close o the roof in ducks lol I put crown molding over it less work looks great😊

I have been collecting crystal for many many years. I thrift all of it for incredibly cheap. I tried to sell it several different times but no one seems to get it like me. So happy to see someone validates me. Thanks. I love faux flowers too! I also love whimsical decorations and decorating with things that I know no one else has. These are usually things that I make myself.

I do me whether it’s in or not. I love my version of French country and it makes me happy. I love mixing patterns as long as it’s in same coloring

Love your channel!! Thanks for the tips.

I don't have your carpentry skills but I agree with everything you've said and actually do most of these things. I had a painter I hired tell me that I wanted "everything perfect" because I complained about his painting. It was because the old paint color showed through the new paint color and his reply was "it's not that bad, it's good enough". Apparently that was his motto. He packed up like a thief in the night without saying a word and I ended up painting my entire house which, looks very good. It took me longer, and I used more paint, but it looks good. Details are EVERYTHING. I try to do what I can without it looking like a do it yourself job. I wish I could do more. And I am currently in the process of buying old oil paintings. Excellent video.

NataLee, you're the best!! Loved these. I think the best thing that you have done is the fireplace and built-ins. Those were absolutely amazing. Take care beautiful lady and God bless you and yours. 💖💖

Hi. Congratulations on your new forever home! Love your ideas. I have six sisters and, we’ve used many of your ideas. One of our favorites was your faux brick wall paneling idea. Two of my sisters have used that idea in their 1/2 baths and it turned out to be very special in both cases.

I just love your ideas. I agree with keeping things neutral bc I like to switch out colors often and it makes it easier. Right now I’m trying to update the inside of my bathroom cabinets of all things, I guess I’ll paint them white hopefully making them look newer. I also want to buy modern bathroom trashcans so if you have any ideas please share❤❤❤

Truly in love with anything crystal and silver or silver plated❤

Just found you- and girl! I am IMPRESSED! The fireplace? You GO!

Awesome suggestions. It is amazing the difference it will make a room look.

Great tips. I always loved cut crystal and have a lot of vintage pieces from family ❤

I just stumbled upon this video, because KZread recommended it. Awesome tips, and you are EXTREMELY easy on the eyes!! 😊😊😊

The black and white chevron seems classic so I wouldn’t change that at all!

Yes ! Our home is our haven. I love our pent House apartment. We remodeled our master bedroom, master bath and small powdered room. I placed a beautiful wall paper in an accent wall, in back of the bed. It looks beautiful and I plan to die with it ! I also added a lovely one with birds in the small powdered room and a wall to wall mirror on the other wall and boy did it grow !! Thank you.

We painted countertops years ago and we were very careful and followed all the steps. It was very resilient and many people complemented on how lovely they were. We did not have problems with chipping or any other problems. Like they say, don’t knock it till you’ve tried it….😂

And speaking of that, I received my Athena Lady Jane Drill yesterday and it’s beautiful and feels so easy to use. I can’t wait to get a project going so I can use it. My husband laughed at me because I put it in my closet instead of out in my work space in the garage because I don’t want it to get dirty. 🤣😂

Hi! Luv the checker board! Timeless! 🤗

I have always loved cut crystal. I have several crystal vases

Wonderful information. Much appreciated.

For the outdoors area in my home (Arizona) I have two teakwood Adirondack chairs but they're old and tired looking. They're still natural but they are very dry. Can I sand those and then oil them to replenish? What grit(s) would I use and what kind of oil/moisturizer to treat the wood afterward? Thanks for the advice, Natalee, you're incredible!

Before you even said anything about a fireplace, I was already admiring your background with your fireplace. Great job! 🤩

Suoer cute. Love the way you did the seams. Ive not seen that before

I have been checking out new dishwashers online as mine is just too old to clean well. I was going to get the same black that I have had for years, and which I like, but which a hard to find. But your video made me come to a dead halt. I also need a new refrigerator soon a new microwave and my cabinets - very nice solid wood - are from 1995 - maybe I need to rethink my entire kitchen and bring it up to date using some of your great ideas. This is a wonderful video which I stubbled upon accidentally. I am subscribing today. Thanks you so much

A lot of wonderful ideas in this video. All it takes is just a few little and simple ideas and items either as they look or with a little tlc to them then your room or rooms in your home will look very nice.

@designedtothenines How do you feel about 'Fandeliers'? I love the selection Home Depot and Lowe's carry, from modern to luxe. And the way the fan blades are minimized and/or hidden is genius.

Always beautiful!

As for framed art work, think about seasonably switching them out rather than hung and done. Fresh paintings / fresh seasonal statements does elevate the home.

The fireplace is really beautiful

You inspired me a lot, I did not know where and what to do, but I knew my home needs a makeover. You made me laugh with you🤗even though I am in South Africa nd don't know some of the stores you spoke about, I enjoyed this video. Thank you so much

Hi. 👋 I just found you a few weeks ago and started binge watching your channel. Absolutely love all that you do love your personality. Sometimes it’s hard for me to watch but you are definitely easy to follow and understand and absolutely have already discovered some amazing ideas I can’t wait till spring now and summer. I always have a Fourth of July party and some of your ideas Are awesome. The reason I am actually commenting right now because I know that you have an Etsy store but I don’t know how to get there. I can’t find it also I was wondering if you could recommend or tell me or maybe you do it I don’t know, but I need some vinyl sticky stars Because I’m making a flag out of an extra large pallet that we got our zero turn mower on this summer so it’s probably four times bigger than a regular pallet at least three times and I have already got it painted white and now it’s waiting until spring for me to finish it my first DIYbut I need some vinyl stickers so when I paint the blue, I can take it off and have the white stars. Absolutely do not have a cricket and don’t know how to go about ordering them. Was wondering if maybe you could help me thank you for your time.

Always Exquisite !
