Did HGTV call yet?! This turned out so wonderful, Leslie. You have mad skills when it comes to painting. (Such a talented person). How sweet to have something hand made by her dad. Hope the kids take it with them if they ever move. ❤

Awwwww you’re the sweetest 🥰🥰🥰🥰

It looks beautiful. You are wonderful parents. My dad passed away in October. This made me miss him so much. He and my mom always helped me with home projects. My dad also made mantels for my sister. When my sister moved she took the mantels down and took them with her.

I absolutely love how it turned out but most of all I love how it was a family project!!!

What a gift 🎁 a beautiful fireplace and some moments for your family to treasure in the years ahead.

*By far your process was superior to other white wash videos I have seen...and the results were outstanding...good job*

I’ve just recently found your channel, and I absolutely love ALL of your content! I love your personality, your talents (gifts), but most of all, your sweet spirit! I’ve watched several over the past week, and I am anxious to see all of them. I admire your love and respect for your husband, as I know from my own Father having Alzheimer’s and trying to care for him, and your patience with him as well. May God bless you and equip you for all your days in the future.

Thank you so much 😊

I just watched this video. You're great at describing and showing the steps. I also loved seeing Jason's skills with all of the tools. It's fun seeing the competent creative partner that you've been married to for all of these years.

I love transformations like this! You are such a talented and fun family!

This was best whitewash video I have seen yet. I subscribed because you showed a LOT of images of the finished product so we could really see how it turned out. Too many videos drag you through endless talking of common sensical “tips”, and then show you about 2 seconds of the finished project so you can barely see how it actually turned out. I LOVED that you showed so much of your finished work. THANK YOU. I thought this turned out great, and the Mantle was really stunning for $12!!!! Great job!

A wonderful project, from start to finish. Precious memories 💕 Nothing like family love 🥰

Wow! What an amazing work. I love the fireplace. The mantel is gorgeous. Jason is a hoot. My dad had dementia. He was a carpenter in his younger years. His past time almost until the end for him, was building. I have pieces I would never ever part with and will be handed down to my children and their children. Sickness doesn't mean we have to stop living, we just learn to adapt. I have chronic COPD. My life has changed drastically, but I still feel, bleed and get hungry for life as well as the next person. You and your family are so blessed. I'm so happy I found your videos. My mom past away last August and my dad last Christmas. It will be hard to have it without them, but we will thank God for the blessings we still have.

I love the mantle and wow, it looks like reclaimed barn wood. Jason, you did an awesome job. How special to make that for your daughter and I know she feels proud. My dad is 82 and i tell him now and then I hope that by the time I can ever but my own place I hope he is still doing good health wise to build me a glass cabinet or a mantle like he did both for my brother and my sister. My brother was in the hospital for many months after his brain injury. He left one house to go to work and fell 10 feet off a ladder. When he finally returned home after the rehab facility he walked into a house he had never slept in only bought before his injury. Everyone pitched in to make the house perfect and like your daughter the fireplace surround had a little brick mantle so my dad made a wider deeper one out of old wood he had and stained it nice. For my sister years ago he made a large glass courior glass cabinet. Your a wonderful dad and my dad is wonderful too. Since I have been following your story I think of you and Leslie everyday and pray for you too. My dad is a pastor and he visits a man with the same disease you have but he is much older. I never heard of the disease until I started following you over a week ago. God bless you and Leslie, Rebekah from Arlington, VA

At first I thought I had come across a comment written by a family friend, your stories are so similar but yours has a much happier ending! The friend I spoke of and his dad owned a roofing company, they were inseparable from the time he was a baby & from what I remember he started going to work w his dad every day from the time he was around 5. The parents live on a beautiful farm & had some extra land so they sold it to the son for $1 so that him, his wife, & their 5 kids could build a house basically right next door. The son and his family lived with his parents while the house was being built, which took a few years bc he and his dad built it themselves on their days off. It was so beautiful! The floors were hardwood but very thin strips and had a design built in. The day before they were set to move in, the father and son went to work together as usual & the son was on a roof & took off his tie off harness (idk what it’s called) for a split second for some reason. I can’t remember details but somehow he lost balance & fell from the roof onto an iron fence down below. One of the iron poles went straight into him, killing him instantly. It was horrible & still makes my chest hurt recalling the story! He never got to sleep one night in the beautiful home he and his dad built with their own 2 hands and I remember the family (his wife and kids) still stayed with his parents for a good while before moving in. The pain and the change was all too much at once I suppose. His dad has never been the same, he always said that was his best friend since he was 5. It’s such a sad story! I’m so glad your brother recovered from his brain injury and has a different story to tell! The things we take for granted sometimes are often the most important 🥲

Love your husband's dance moves, at the end, CLASSIC!

Absolutely gorgeous!! Especially love the distressing on the mantel!!

It looks SOOO good! That mantel is the perfect finishing touch!

Love it. your daughter is spitting image of her dad
