These are really cool! I never thought about carving foam ones! Such a great idea for next year

They look really bad. Must be fun to carve.

🍰🥂The light pooping out was hilarious!

Happy birthday 🎉 - trust me i know how you feel i felt this way when i turn 29 this year, and my friends are 30 plus ❤❤❤❤❤

Happy Birthday 🎂🎈🎊🎉

I like it. It came out SPOOKY kinda cute 😊

You’re so talented keep up the good work 👍

Please don't paint it!!!!! I'm sure there's a way to fix it so that It doesn't come out blochy. You might have do some more sanding. Maybe put some sort of chemical treatment on it. Please don't paint out beautiful old wood.

You need a Jack Russell Terrier trust me you will be amazed by these dogs small compact sweet nature but were breed to get reed of rats.

You just gotta sand a bit deeper. The old soot and stains/paint have been absorbed.

What brand stripper did you use?

Great choice! It is beautiful!

What a house!!! I love the furnitures as well. 😊

GAG! What a transformation! The after looks so good!

WOW!!! Great job. It really came out so good!!! Love it

You did a great job restoring the wood on the mantle! Before it looked worn and ugly! The stain color has brought out it's natural beauty! Awesome job! 😊❤

Its already looking beautiful! Cant wait to see it finished! 😊❤

John Bear gave this tip for stripping paint from carvings. Make a paste of stripper and saw dust, using a small brush to work paste in. It worked great for him.

It's a beautiful mantle, great job! Are you going to refinish (take off the paint) from the wide and tall floorboard trim too? I have stain on my wide/tall floorboards, that I really love.

That is how you learn. Just begin and you will find your way. Best wishes. Safety first!

It was fun to see and hear your excitement for what was underneath…lol we feel your joy. It looks great. Linda Beals.

Looking great Patsy!!!

My mantle is almost an exact match for yours. It was a kit, it looks like yours might also be a kit. Mine is solid cherry and cherry plywood. Ours is stained and not painted. We got is about 30 years ago so that might not be the original mantle/ surround. No matter it is still lovely.

Recommendation for the next time...Varathane makes good products, but some woods are just naturally splotchy. And crazy layers of paint likely painted over old finishes with not much prep & the chemicals to remove them don't help. Using shellac (without wax in it) instead of a preconditioner/sealant often works to even out the wood grain. Shellac can be applied under stain & finishes. I usually put it on with an old piece of t-shirt instead of a brush, so I can ensure it's going into the grain--not a thick coat but not a thin one either. It was a common practice to use shellac this way 100s of years ago & still works today.

Wow! That was a lot of work. So worth it though. Looking forward to whatever next!

Can’t wait to see the final outcome!!! Love it already

Great finds for your home! I especially love the light fixture and lamp. Your bedroom is off to a good start!😊

Great job. Learning as you go can definitely lead to great things 🤗

So much difficult work done and so much more we don't even see! Great job Patsy.

❤🎉

What a wonderful friend 🧡

I'm so happy for you both. 🎉🎉🎉Congratulations , ❤

Oh gosh, just take it easy! Congrats on your new arrival.

You did a great job🎉, so nice to see someone normal doing diy 🙌

I just can’t watch any further. That light fixture that “is not the vibe” is gorgeous! I think this person would have been better off with a modern cookie cutter home.

The tile on the fireplace is highly sought after and that is a coal fuel fireplace and the summer cover. It is such a shame when people don’t realize the treasures they have and do away with them.

Its a beautiful huge👍 house.

That sofa looks so cush! You are working with what you've got, and making it work! Looks really great.

Love the new couch ❤

Good job Patsy!! Congratulations Jared😊 The new sofa is a very nice reward for a job well done 🎉

Looks great 😊 can’t wait to see the finished floors later on in the future 🎉

I love your channel and congratulations on your new arrival. I did the same thing to my walls doing stars and that if you find that the white it doesn't work in some spots just flick it with your dark blue and it will tone down the white. Keep up the good work and I can't wait to see your house reno videos I'm from Vancouver Island British Columbia Canada

The round rug looks great! It looks like a planet.

Hey it looks extra good

You did an amazing job. I just finished my career of drywall work and am moving on to other trade work. I can happily say you easily put me and my crew to shame. I'm certain the little one will be the happiest little one in the world with a kick butt person like you around.

Add some very pale yellow to the stars. The constellations would be awesome

My personal opinion, flick blue over some spots that are harsher, but clear glow paint and do just the constellations (maybe a few stars) in that! I had that on my wall and loved it growing up!

constellations and planets

I forgot to color a block 😢

You are so enjoyable and inspiring to watch! And I loved your music choices!
