Hey there! My name is Abby and I recently bought a MAJOR fixer upper house. I am SO excited to work on fixing it up this old house and turning it into my dream home. I can't wait to take you on this journey with me! I am planning to DIY as much as I can and learn so much about home renovations along the way. I am starting out totally clueless so I am sure it will be a grand adventure! Follow along on my channel if you want to see DIY projects, renovating a house on a budget, and I am sure a lot of craziness along the way! I'm just a girl with a drill and a dream.

Jay is such an excellent mentor. He should start his own channel and show us some basic home improvement ❤
I don’t think I’ve ever known anyone as enthusiastic as you. I know you’ll enjoy your house and you definitely have bragging rights over your work.
Don’t be in a hurry Abby to fill your ceiling hole. Get a fancy cover plate for it. The heat going upstairs will save you $$’s and don’t forget you have an old house and want to retain some of its flavour. Beautiful light fixtures. Carol from Canada
I agree - a decorative grate or medallion, keep a part of the original house
I was thinking the same thing. That grate is what is helping your heat rise.
I agree too sweet girl !!! You have a very unique feature in that ceiling vent !!! It’s way cool .., and something many homes don’t have !!!
Plus
Sheetrock patches look pristine for a season … but as the mud starts to really dry over the years ??? It will have a bit of shrinkage n no longer will the patch be pristine !!
That is what I came here to type. Thank you.
Thank you Jay for helping Abby fix this home up. It is beautiful. 😊
I just wish she had a clip of his reaction to the finished light!
You could just paint the bottom side of that round ceiling grate white. The lights look wonderful! So pretty!
You might want to install a dimmer switch for the dining rm light fixture
Also known as a rheostat. Be nice for over the dining table.
Great idea. Dimmer switch for dining room is really nice.
The chandelier is amazing. It gives off a lot of light. I would like to see you put a grate over that ceiling hole and paint it white. Just another touch of the old house preserved.
You may want to cover the vent in the ceiling with a vent cover. Heat rises, but cooling doesn't. So you may need the vent.
It’s always a good idea to buy extra bulbs for the lights as specialty bulbs may be hard to find in a few years time.
The lights are very beautiful. You have done an outstanding job turning an old, very run down house into a beautiful home. Love it!
Abby, I am just so darned happy for you! You've worked so hard alongside Jay to make your home just perfect.
I so admire your eagerness to learn all aspects of renovating your house. Carpentry, tilework, wiring for electric! You've done everything it ALL!
For your window treatments, consider 2" white, wood blinds. They are easy to install, and you can take your time deciding on curtains.
Congratulations on a great job!
Abby, have you thought about putting a dimmer switch in? Looks really nice!
In love with your new lights. Absolutely beautiful. Always enjoy seeing Jay. He is an amazing carpenter. Your steps leading upstairs, look wonderful.
The lights are gorgeous! I'm sure even better in person. And, what would you do without Jay!
Lights are perfect perfect perfect !!! .........
It's all so beautiful!! The lights, along with your beaming personality, are stunning!! 💕
Abby I absolutely LOVE YOUR HOME! I can only imagine how it feels to wake up every morning, you probably have to pinch yourself to make sure it’s not a dream! The lighting is gorgeous! But the stare case is just so so beautiful. It makes everything look so classy! 😇🩷
Oh my goodness! I love the new lights! Just beautiful!!! How lucky are we to get to see Jay several times in a row!😊
The lights just helped finish the rooms!?.They look beautiful!! Loving the house!
Abby-I have a suggestion for your range hood. I notice that it disappears into the wall. Have you considered adding a matching strip of wood to the lower vertical portion of the hood? I think it would give dimension to the hood and tie it in beautifully with the cabinets and floating shelves. Does that make sense?
Hi! I’ve been watching since the beginning and I’m so proud of you (and Jay)! Your home is beautiful! I wanted to make a suggestion. If I were you I would switch the small white chairs and the wing back chairs. I think the wing back chairs are too big for that space and the smaller ones would look better. Amazon has covers for wing back chairs that are washable and would really transform the look of the wing back chairs! Just a suggestion! Keep up the great work!
Just gorgeous! When you began this journey I bet you did not envision how lovely it is now?!❤ You and Jay, what a team!
What a GORGEOUS fixture over the table and the pendants are a perfect choice! They compliment each other - SOOOOO BEAUTIFUL ❤❤❤❤
Beautiful! What a difference the lights make! May I suggest you find a little Alabaster table lamp to put between the two chairs to carry the theme through to the other side of the room? Anyway, you are doing a wonderful job, and I can't wait to see what you do next.
I love Primitive style but I want to tell you I Love this house. Your lights are Gorgeous. Such a stunning place. I’ve been watching since the beginning. You & Jay have done a great job. Your choices I love. Love your countertops & the whole kitchen, dinning area. Perfect
The lights and chandelier are so beautiful! I love the natural stone look too.
Everything you add makes your home more beautiful
everything is so beautiful Abby!❤❤❤. You have done a really great job working on it and picking fixtures. Thank god for Jay as well! Impressive lady 🤗
Abby, the lights are gorgeous! I'm so happy for you.
I'm madly in love with the whole look, every detail just raises it another notch.😊
if you don't like the yellow cast, replace your bulbs with DAYLIGHT bulbs, they are very white and will show off your pendant globes beautifully
it would be very pretty to put some smaller chairs in the bay with a small table with a very pretty lamp to shine out to the street
Abby you and Jay are a great team. Very proud of you. I know Jim and Brenda are very proud of you. 🎉😊❤❤
I honestly do love the lights!
A tip for setting the height of several pendant lights is to use something handy or build a support to hold the light up at the height you wish. You can move the temporary holder around the island to get each light exactly the same height. Plus the support leaves your hands free instead of holding up each light while you do the wiring.
Some left over lumber such as 2 x 4s and scraps of plywood can be used to build a temporary jigs.
The kitchen is looking better every video Abby! You have great decorating chops!
Have not watched since construction complete,but always stay in tune with your parents.
Hoping Jim recovery soon and he can get back in the woods 😊
Very nice counter top😊
Abby, the lights are amazing and watching Jay and you work together is so special, just makes me smile❤
You n Jay are quite a team! Lights r beautiful!
Thelighting is gorgeous. I used similar alabaster lighting on my prior home, and always was complimented on it! I have a suggestion. With that black vent it would be so much easier to take it down and spray paint it to match the ceiling color and you wouldn't have all that sheetrock sanding getting everywhere. Just saying.
So very happy for you!
CHANDELIER !! ❤️❤️❤️👍👍 Now this is what I'm talking about... GLAM IT UP A LITTLE BIT MORE 👍👍
EVERY GIRL DESERVES A LITTLE BIT OF GLAM ❤
Abby the lights you chose are perfect for your home Always good to see you working with Jay too. I'm so happy you are bring us along on the finishing touches and decorating projects. As the weather warms into spring I hope you will let us in on all the landscaping and any construction that happens❤❤❤
Pretty. I would look for more modern farmhouse chairs for the kitchen table.
Hey it’s Jay to the rescue, you both work so well together. Your kitchen and dining room are so beautiful and eye catching. Abby I just love watching you rebuild this special home. R❤❤❤😊😊😁😁🐾🐾😁😁
Those lights give nice ambiance.
If you have central air-conditioning, you will need that vent in the summer. I love Alabaster! The dining table chandelier reflects light and softens it at the same time! Nice!
The lights are absolutely stunning!! Gorgeous! Jewelry for your kitchen and dining area! Congrats!!!❤❤❤
Abby the lights are absolutely stunning. Jay was such a wonderful help in getting the lights up over the marble counter and explained how to do the chandelier electrical. I bet it was work getting all the slants in the the right place. Thank you Jay for helping Abby with her lights. God bless you both 🙏 ❤❤
The new lights are so beautiful. Great choice and what a great look.
The lights are fantastic. Great choice. The beauty of the house just continues to increase. I don’t remember if there are lights or plans for lights in the bay window.
Awww, “I’ll be the Aaron to your Moses”!!👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻
Abby.could you show us the ambiance of just the alabaster lights.turn off the puck lights.i imagine that will be gorgeous 🤩
Love all the natural elements!
You will have fun washing the chandelier as time goes by.
Never been a fan of modern home styling but your home is stunning, the lights and counters are just WOW.❤
I love the mix of metals , and styles
Looks more interesting
A curated look
So nice Abby ….amazing …hard to even imagine that it is the same house
One word Abby . . .STUNNING!!!!!!! 💜💖💜
this round light would be great on a dimmer
Can you believe how all that hard work has paid off. This house is stunning
It must be soooo very rewarding to be at this point in your very long journey of doing all the work to make this old house into a beautiful home!
Abby, the lighting is beautiful, a dimmer switch on the Dining room would give you a beautiful ambiance. You will love it.
Kudos on the light fixtures👍🏻🫶🏻
What can’t Jay do??! Such a skilled individual & great teacher. You are so lucky to have him as your mentor. BTW, have you thought about turning the upholstered chairs in the bay window area around so you can look at the view outside? That is the perfect spot to have your coffee in the morning in my opinion.☕️
Your pendant lights are very similar to mine and compliment the chandelier nicely :-D The chandelier you chose is perfect! It is elegant, bright and great that it doesn't hang too low from the ceiling.
They’re beautiful
Abby, I've watched your beautiful house take shape since the first video!! You have worked so hard to get to this point, and I agree, the alabaster lights totally complete the ambience in the kitchen/ dining area❤❤ Can't wait to see what you're going to do next girl🎉 You are amazing and your home is amazing 😃❤💗💝
When you first started to work on the light above the table, I wasn't sure if the light would be bright enough because it looked more yellow but then, like you said, when you started to put the stone on then, yes, I love it. Great designs in your lighting, they work together very well.
looks good the new lights
Beautiful. Love the lights. Good job.
Love the lights ! You need some cloth placemats for your table and window treatments!
Natural stone lighting you chosen for dinning table & countertop makes a world of difference. It really brightens up the whole room, great job Abby. All you have to now is fix the hole in ceiling. If you like looking at your nice wood window trim. I suggest trying adjustable inner hanging rods. 😊
Your lighting choices complement and highlight the surrounding ambiance. Well done!
Hi Abby - I've been watching your youtube since day one - LOVE LOVE LOVE all you have accomplished - JUST wow!! - I'm an outside person so cannot wait to see what you do with your gardens!!
Love the lighting! You have great taste Abby
Absolutely beautiful! This is where you could put some before and after footage. Because, wow!! This is far from the beginning when you were tearing down walls while listening to polka. It's been a fun journey.
Abby, I love watching your work and your thought processes . I am so happy for you. Your home is beautiful and I have been watching since the beginning! Remember taking a shovel to the linoleum in the kitchen and you and Trudy dancing. Fantastic video! 😂
Abby the pendant
Lights are going
To be so nice on
Above the island😊😊😊😊
The lights are very modern but interestingly seem right at home in this vintage house.
It is very stunning, your home it’s just amazing. Proud for you, worth all the hard work.
I have loved Alabaster since I saw a man put a flashlight in a Alabaster carved sarcophagus and saw the magical glow it affected me for life!!! I'm so glad you feel the beauty from the stone as well!!! When I put curtains up in my house that's when I cried!!! I'm happy for you Jay and you have worked hard to get this far!!! 😊
The lights are absolutely gorgeous. You are right it is really high class. Beautiful choice.
The pictures on the kitchen wall look good as well as your lovely lights.
Love those lights. You and Jay are a great team. Maybe you could paint the vent same color as the ceiling.
When you think it can’t get any better… it does!
And then Jay comes in. Hey Jay! Always good to see you. Great job you two, Aaron and Moses.😂
You and Jay have done a phenomenal job throughout the house
So nice! Love your videos. Your excitement makes my day each time I watch. Thank you!

Abby, everything is looking fantastic. Great job honey. Love seeing Jay. Like I always say, everybody needs a Jay in their life. He’s just an amazing mentor!
Good choice! These lights make a warm and cozy atmosphere! Wonder if that hole in the ceiling is for a vent? Have a great evening you all -Chris
The lights are beautiful and I think there is plenty of light. I really hope you keep the diningroom table and chairs. It is lovely in the space. Maybe source out a couple of complimentary chairs you can se to the side when not in use. So nice to see Jay.
I know I don't need to say but I will anyway.You are so lucky to have someone so knowledgeable through the whole process. Be well from Canada 🇨🇦
I love them esp. the chandelier! It totally completes the room! Beautiful! 🤩
The light fixtures are stunning! Everything looks so good together!
Wow, how stunning!!!
The lights are just beautiful, Abby. Your kitchen is magazine perfect. Thanks for sharing and have a Blessed day.
WOW !!!! Great job Abby & Jay ! The house is AMAZING from where you started.
Jay is so funny. That's exactly how my dad checks to see if the electric is on too.
A beautiful standard lamp would go fantastic in between the two easy chairs in the bay window,it would make it so cosy and welcoming inside and from the outside.
Abby your lights are amazing! Soooooo pretty! I love your sweet home.
Absolutely beautiful choice ❤❤❤
