Love wallpaper too. You could add a pop of warm wood ( not too orange, so try a special walnut stain) above, also. Your spaces are very farmhouse still with a bit too much white for your color longings. I love copper ( the color of your hair) and that might work for you. Also blues. Any blues, with greens. Consider pewter if you prefer silver tones, with the blues. That toilette ( twa- LET) sign? So cute!

I have vintage travel clocks that don’t work so I set them to the time of birth for my boys so when I look at them it reminds me of that time.

That's sweet, Rachel!

What a transformation.... You are brave to live with the before for years....

I love the idea of a lit curio in the bathroom - must be heavenly to take a bath with the ambient lighting!

Sarah, thank you so much for sharing this encouragement! We have been in our down sized home for 5 years & have wanted to remodel our MB ever since. I think your ideas for wallpaper, maybe a toile? and sconces would be the extra jewels to your space! Your two have done a beautiful job!

I love the plates in the bathroom - romantic porcelain lace.

Your bathrooms are beautiful!! We paid 600.00 to a professional to re-do our yellow tub in our old house. It lasted about a month and started peeling. He came back twice to fix it…it just kept peeling. Then he wouldn’t return my calls. 😠 Glad it worked for you…maybe the home stuff is better these days. This was 15 years ago. Also, I ordered the same type faucet from Amazon with good results. Totally agree with the toilet handle! I bought a round (looks like an old faucet handle) one that you turn to flush…it’s soooo cute!

I love your makeover, I decided to use the beadboard wallpaper in my dining room. We used chair railing to make it look even more official because it didn’t go floor to ceiling. Honestly, you can’t tell it’s not real. In my bathroom I hung antique white ironstone chamber pots

😊 Wallpaper and painted vanity is a yes

Bathrooms are beautiful I wouldn't change a thing!

I love them! From the wallpaper, vanities, door with the transom, plates and ruler - it all was spectacular. You truly have a gift (and your wonderful husband)! ~ Linda

Yay, to your extreme bathroom makeovers! Brilliant work! One thing: 'Toilette' is pronounced 'Twa-LETT' (E-double 'T'-E = short e sound followed by the hard 'T'). For 'Twa-LAY' you have an 'L' followed by 'ET' (no 'E' at the end causes 'T' to be silent) .

I love both bathrooms and the touches. You asked about the plates in the bathroom. I feel it is unexpected, but I like them. It gives a Parisien vibe.There are no rules and feel that you should fill your rooms with the things you love and are pleasing to your eye. I love the vanity in the wood tone [not opposed to painting wood fyi]. Another review suggested some gel stain if you decide to go that route. Yes to some pretty sconces and wall paper. Love your videos and talent!

Gorgeous! I LOVE the dresser you converted into the vanity. It looks beautiful!❤ Good job with the shower door. We priced new custom made shower doors and they're pricey. I never thought of replacing the toilet handle! Great idea.😊 The second bathroom! What a transformation. 🎉 I love all your finishing touches. Thank you for your fun videos.

Sarah, we have waterproof, wood floor in our bathrooms. It’s just sealed with a certain caulk. They are fine. ✨ I love the second bathroom very much. I want to add a claw foot in our guest bathroom one day.🤞🏻🤍✨

You can fix orangey wood with a coat or two of Minwax Coffee Gel Stain or General Finishes Java Gel stain. You just go right over the existing finish with the gel stain. It will give you a beautiful brown wood finish and knock out the orange. You can still see the wood grain. It holds up great!

@@SheHoldsDearly I usually just slop it on with a foam brush and then wipe it off with shop towels. It's a pretty quick fix. If you decide to try it, just protect your floors really well with thick cardboard or something for the parts of the vanity you can't take outside.

Beautiful Bathrooms! Timing couldn't be better because we are remodeling our main bath right now. Thank you for the idea to add new toilet handle to list! We are going with white shiplap on biggest wall. Black and white farmhouse. I like clean and simple. Doing all the work ourselves. Looking forward to your Brimfield Flea Market post, I was there also, we live only 45 mins. away.

Plates are beautiful in any room of the house. It is charming and I do like it. Sometimes when people say they don't like something it makes us question our choices. If you love it that is what matters.

Thank you for sharing the amazing job you did on your bathrooms. I too have dreaded a bath in my clawfoot tub due to fears of ending up in the basement!😂 I also appreciate how long you waited to make it better! Very inspiring and keep the plates in the bath if you love them!

I have beautiful clocks placed around my home- one for each of my children set to the time they were born. That might be a neat way to set your clocks in your bathroom!

Wow. Beautiful, inspiring updates! With your upstairs vanity, one option might be staining it without stripping it back. I had success with an orange-stained dresser which I coated with a black stain. I used liquid sandpaper, then went over it with the black stain (I believe it was a stain/poly combo). I then sanded back lightly on drawer edges to let a bit of the original orange show through and then did a light pass with the liquid sandpaper again to get a matte finish. I wasn't able to sell it until I changed the color, but it looked great in the end. I like paint, but I like to have options in case paint doesn't feel right for a piece. :)

Lovely! When my husband installed our converted dresser in the powder room this summer, he did a great job of re fashioning the drawers.

All of my three bathrooms are wallpapered and because of the fans and ventilation, there are absolutely no problems with it. I love wallpaper in the bathroom; it really glams it up. Also, wood floors are great in a bathroom but they have to be sealed for waterproofing..... if you have little kids!

Beautiful bathrooms. Great job. Blessings.

Sheila McDade here . . . WALLPAPER, YES! The wallpaper idea you recommended for our friend on Farmhouse on Boone for her stairwell was brilliant and the color she chose is so beautiful. I am relieved you are thinking about getting rid of the plates. When I saw them I thought, "Plates in a bathroom?" lol

Yes to wallpaper. I would do just the top portion of the walls. I have never had problems with wallpaper in bathrooms. My late husband built a sink set up that looks like it's a piece of furniture with a sink in it. That way plumbing was easier.

Love the dressers turned vanity, everything today is so cheaply made. We have solid oak vanity's from when the house was built so am painting them. I can't see ripping out solid oak. ???Would love to hear what you think of aging doors in the home??? We have eighties oak throughout the house and I love the look of painted older french looking doors, that have been painted several times and the paint is worn.

Both bathrooms are beautiful! ❤️

I am waiting for 20 years now to re do our upstairs bathroom, tucked into the eaves. I would LOVE to move our cast iron tub in there, somehow. To use as a tub, definitely not a shower! ( I spent my entire shower batting down the curtain liner--the steam just sucks it up against my body and destroys the whole "experience "!) Maybe a handheld showerhead to use while sitting in the tub! Hubster doesn't think he can get the tune upstairs because we have a 90° turn at the top of the stairs. Still waiting!

Your bathroom dresser is Victorian Renaissance Revival. Victorian Eastlake has spoon carved flowers and leaves. Love the bathroom makeovers!

LOVE!!! Yes, definitely do wallpaper above the rail trim, something that will really accent your bronze metal in that bathroom. These are both gorgeous!! I have been wanting to do sconce lighting especially in my downstairs powder room and LOVE the ones you have. I do not have an old house but I have an old-style home. I wanted an old 1900 farmhouse but never found one in our budget. Twenty-five years ago, we stumbled on a great deal on just over 12 acres of land, bought it and set to work designing our home from scratch. I made sure to design it with an ample sized foyer, high ceilings, wrap around porch with bay windows on both floors, walk up attic, and even a cedar-lined closet in the upstairs hall for wool sweaters, fine linens, and formal wear. I have transom windows, unique quirky elements typical of old homes, and a large fireplace. Sounds perfect, right? Nope, still a work in progress, still going back and redoing things where I gave in to more modern elements due to cost or my husband's wishes, but now he sees what I was trying to create and said to go for it. Small budget but I'm going to do my best!!! Your channel is such an inspiration!!! Thank you!!

I love the thought of painting the vanity. Sage green enamel or cream enamel. I love the look of cream and white together and I love sage green with the stained wood top. Or go nuts and try a new palette... navy paint or black paint or non-shiney metallic (think brushed finish). 😊

I’m trying not to laugh because my only bathroom was not even scrubbable. The subfloor was rotted and yes even floor joists had to be repaired (sistered) and reinforced for the heavy tub. I put in a maple floor (shellacked). The walls are real, tall beadboard and a medium wood tone. It was difficult not having a sink for awhile but you’re right, the slow process turned out BETTER!

Beautiful!

We currently have a buffet turned vanity in our master bath. I keep looking at it thinking it needs to be painted. The wood tone is just to orange for me.
