Ariel works from home. So she made the wise decision to move over 3,000 miles away to a place where the real estate is more affordable. Are you studying a field where you can work from home? If not, you still might take a page from Ariel’s book, and look for work in places where the real estate is affordable. That would give you the opportunity to move to the area, and see what you like and dislike in the real estate market before you buy. Owning your own home is doable, if you’re smart.

@@pattimessenger6214 The original commenter also mentioned that they're a student... As a student myself it's definitely not very doable to pursue being a homeowner, no matter how smart you are about it. Ariel, being the common example here, did not purchase a house while pursuing an undergrad or graduate degree, but did it after both of those things were complete. Not to mention, drawing from my own experiences as a student, life is still super uncertain at this point- definitely not the best time to settle down. So yes, while it is possible to be crafty and buy a house young, sometimes- no matter how much you may want to own a home- you also have to be realistic about timing, and not rush into it.

Rugs are sometimes not the full size of the rooms so what families use to do is take color from the rug and paint the areas that would show where the rug does not cover. That is why the floor is painted that way. I also hope with that cut out of the flower you put in a frame.

Nice job. The old floor was "real" linoleum. We now call vinyl sheet flooring "lino", but it's not. Linoleum is a wonderful product (and can still be purchased (but is now very expensive) and lasted years but had a tendency to get brittle and the edges might curl. Linoleum is also totally green, not like vinyl products. It was also often laid down as a floating sheet on the floor (not glued down) much like a rug. That is why the edges of the old floor were painted.

funny little thing: the song playing when Ariel is ripping off the old flooring is actually a very popular Flemish/Dutch children's song celebrating the arrival of Saint Nicholas :)

Love how the room turned out! It's cool seeing you put in your quirky personality into a vintage home. Note: before sanding up another floor, you may want to do a test for lead paint. Old homes = old safety regulations.

Love this! A pro tip for anymore trim painting: if you take the tape off before it dries, you won’t get as much peeling from dry paint/enamel! I learned this after helping my parents repaint all the rooms in their house 😅

“Acetone anyone?!” 😂 I don’t know why that was so funny to me 😂 I love this room and the art just makes it so unique and cozy 🖤🥰 I love your style!

I love watching your house vids. This turned out so cute!! The pink floor is genius-tbh one of the most fun parts of buying a house is painting it whatever colors you want. And I think we should definitely make “frame hauls” a thing. I’m a former picture framer and I’m always on the lookout for good used frames.

the whole concept of you sitting in a room from the 1850's saying its "2021, theres a pandemic" is so SURREAL GOD WERE REALLY LIVING THROUGH A HISTORIC EVENT. Love your videos so much I wish i was your friend IRL. Love from Toronto!!

that pink floor is the awesomest thing I have ever laid eyes on

your series is giving me life. our family house flooded over new years, and weve had to move out becuase now theres mould in the house and have bee living in an apartment for a bit and will probably still conintue until house house is basically back so 'before' so its could be months with having to redo the entire house up to code, so your series has been giving me life over having to buy an old hous and making it my own ahahhaha Big fan from Australia

I follow a lot of people renovating their homes and I find it so calming and inspiring to watch. Ariel I've followed for years, and it makes me so happy that she is documenting and posting her renovations. I'm obsessed with her videos ❤️

Your house is giving Anne of Green Gables vibes to me. May have already been said but it makes me happy. 😊

So great to see the finally result. And I applaud your decision to not get a fancier tv, but art instead. I love it!
