      Check out SW On The Rocks. It’s a nice light gray that we love. We are in the process of painting ourselves and we’ve chosen (after MANY paint swatches on several rooms throughout the house) the Sherwin Williams colors ‘On The Rocks’ for our gray and ‘Tradewind’ for our beautiful soft blue. It’s stunning! Good luck!😍

      congratulations 🎉 to u and Josh on the new house 🏡. I was so shocked to see how easy the trim came off. I had to take my trim off (which is wood) in my hall and the wall crumbled and I was left with half a wall lol. The trim is pretty much standard in the houses were I live which has it's good and bad points. The grey colour on the top left (the lightest one) looks nice and the one below, I'm sure it's the ones u said 😆. Anyway I'm gonna stop rambling and I can't wait to follow u on this new wonderful adventure. May u both have luck and make many happy memories. much ❤️from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 UK.x

    Just a tip - before you move in get the ducts in the home cleaned this will help run your air conditioning and heating more efficiently and get rid of any dirt, debris, or allergens in the ducts.

      Yes! After all the work is done, have someone come clean the ducts, the dryer vents and the chimney. I would also highly recommend having the septic inspected and pumped (if needed) before you decide on anything outside. Then you’ll know it’s good and you’ll know where you can’t plant, or put your greenhouse and Josh will know where he needs to be more careful with the tractor (don’t park on top of it). You may also want to treat yourself to a professional cleaning company to come and do a top to bottom cleaning on the whole place. Then you will have an easier time keeping up with it going forward. Obviously we all love spending another person’s money😊 we just all want the best for you, Josh, Orbit and Tibro💕

Thank you for being so open and refreshing. I was never too interested in gardening but I follow you because of the cooking, especially the freezer cooking.

    My husband and I redid his dad's old trailer when we first lived together. We rented in town and the trailer was out in the country. I did exactly what you said about the crock pot. I made chili, beans and rice and we had bowls and crackers there. We would just eat off it all day as we worked. I also brought a coffee pot because we would work late into the night sometimes during the week to get it all done. It really is the project that made us fall in love with each other and discover what a great team we are! This reminds me of that, even though you guys have been together for awhile, it is so much fun to remissness about those days and kinda re fall in love with each other! I'm beyond happy [Maybe a little jealous!] of you guys and know you will do wonderful things with your new house!! You deserve all the great things that are happening to you Becky!!

    Just a suggestion I’ve learned. Green in the bathroom is generally not recommended as when you get up in the morning and it reflects in the bathroom mirror, it has a tendency to discolour our reflection. Green is recommended for bedrooms as it’s a good sleeping, soothing colour. At the end of the day, it’s your choice what colour you want to put where…just thought I would share.

    Security tip: When you take the exterior doors off the hinges use longer screws when you replace the hinges and lock plates (like 3 inch screws where you can). It will make it harder to kick in the door (and is an inexpensive upgrade).
    Easy move is to bring any camping/picnicking stuff to the new house, while you are working on it - but before you are ready to move the existing actual kitchen stuff

    • @margiejane1

      Someone kicked the back door of my home to try to rob me while I was at work midday. The security system panel was not visible there. The alarm went off, the robber went to my bedroom and looked at the jewelry box on the top of my dresser, but found only junk jewelry and left before the police arrived. I was advised at that time to use longer screws and have done so every time I bought a new exterior door.

      @@gloriadurelli4923 I came across this tip back in the 1980's when my Dad was looking to beefing up our home security. He found that this was the first thing drug dealers did when they set up a crack house. He did not trust the alarm companies because of the problems they had had with alarms he had had to install on his business (for insurance purposes). His theory was if it will slow down competing gangs selling and stealing drugs from each other, and the police, than it was good enough for us.

    Just a suggestion…. Consider DAYLIGHT lighting (LED) in your kitchen. It’s like sunlight every time you turn it on. I had it installed in my kitchen a few years ago and it has improved the atmosphere tremendously! My builder said I’d likely regret it being SO light but he was wrong and now he tells me it’s becoming quite popular. 🎉. It’ll change the way your eyes perceive paint color as well so you might change it out before choosing paint color. So happy for y’all!

      Rule of thumb: if the room needs to be cozy (living, bedroom etc) you want a warmer toned light. If you need to see what you are doing (especially if you need to see colour, like applying makeup, doing crafts or cooking) you go with a cooler toned light.

    First of all congratulations to a wonderful house! Since you are painting all the walls and you are replacing all the trim, do yourself a huge favor. Paint the walls first while you only have to cut in the ceiling. Paint the trim one time while uncut and unmounted. Then do the trim work and caulk. Finally do the second trim coat for touch up. It will save you a ton of time and energy. Also, I had giving me when you talked about changing all the switches and outlets to white - have totally fine that in all the houses I've owned 😀

      Hi Becky, I am so glad for you snd Josh. It would be a good idea to have an interior designer to help you choose the colors in your new home that way you don’t have to guess what color you want and you won’t waste your time. Green in the bathroom can make the room seem smaller. The dark colored wall at the entrance of the house, unfortunately is an eye sore. You have such a beautiful view to the garden when you enter the front door and it is blocking the view. Blessings for you and Josh.

    Don't forget that if you find something with the color you like that Sherwin-Williams can match the color and it does not have to be a SW color! So excited to soo the transformation!! You can also try Agreeable Gray as it is a greige color. Also, beware that paint is in short supply so don't wait too long to let your local store know how much you need so that it can be ordered as it may take a bit for it to come in. This is advice given through my son who is a store manager for SW. The shortage is not as bad as it was in 2020, but they still have not gotten production back up to where it was before then.

    Regarding paint I’m looking at similar Gray/taupe colors as you (my husband thinks I’m crazy regarding the tones of gray) Here are the paint swatches I’m looking at. Behr: Rustic Taupe, Silver Ash, Cotton Grey, Smoked Oyster; Sherwin Williams: Worldly Gray, Anew Grey, Repose Grey, Dorian Gray; Benjamin Moore: Pale Oak, Revere Pewter, Briar Wood; Behr makes a color Sycamore Grove that is similar to your green but might be a tad lighter.
    This home is so perfect!! I personally prefer open concept but I definitely understand your reasoning for separate space and this home is a dream. This is personally enjoyable to me because we bought a new home and will be moving in 6 weeks and seeing you go through your new home projects is very helpful. I was looking at the same paint swatches and you helped narrow down my choices (some are just too dark) and will be trying to replace things like trim etc to modernize our new home and seeing you do so makes it far less intimidating. I grew up watching Martha Stewart & PBS This Old Home etc and I feel like you are bringing a new dynamic to the old school shows. 💜

    Excited for you both. I too painted my home in gray. A little tip - pick the tone of gray you like and then ask them to adjust the percentage of the mix to get the depth of color you like. I wanted a true gray tone but not too dark so I lightened the gray by 30%. I live in Washington state so it really helps during the winter months.

    Hey Becky! Congratulations to you and Josh on the new home! I wanted to offer you a tip about painting before you rip out old carpeting and install the new trim boards so that you don’t need to worry of getting wall paint on them. And on a side note, next time you peel your garlic harvest try using the silicone mat from your dehydrator to roll the cloves out of an entire bulb of garlic at once. I mentioned this once when you were about to harvest garlic but guessing you never saw it. My hubs usually does it for me cuz it does take a little bit of muscle but it is a game changer when it comes to time spent peeling bulk garlic! He peels 5 lbs of garlic for me within minutes truly! He just sandwiched the entire bulb between the folded over mat and rolls it back and forth for a second. Best of luck to you and Josh!!! Can’t wait to see all the new and exciting projects you have planned!

    I like mega greige… add me to the list of people giving you tips…. Paint the walls before you reinstall the trim. Set the trim on sawhorses and paint it all before reinstalling. Then you only have to fill nail holes and dab a little paint over them. It’s MUCH easier than cutting in trim…

    We are in the midst of having our main bathroom remodeled and we decided that as long as we were doing that we would replace all of the doors in the house. The old ones were cheap builder grade hollow doors and we replaced them with beautiful solid doors. We also replaced all of the hinges, handles and door knobs. Even though it was about $6,000 it makes a huge difference. I don’t regret doing it at all.

    Becky, We live in the Pacific Northwest, too (Oregon). Despite the endless gray skies, gray painted walls really do work. We used Revere Pewter by Benjamin Moore. It has the slightest green tinge to it (depending on lighting) which coordinates really well with natural stained hardwood floors. Congratulations on your new home!

    The griege looks really good with the flooring on videos. Hard to tell what it looks like IRL. If you have appliances in the new house, or can bring one over for the duration, you can at least store leftovers, casseroles, etc in that while you are working, and have meals available. If you bring at least one service of dishes/flatware per person working, you can easily wash those up before returning home. Even a simple box of food storage containers, simple spices (salt/pepper/cumin - because you use those a lot), and then you can quickly reheat a meal while you are working. I'm excited to watch your progress! I love the new home with the view, the yard, and the already established orchard. You will have to add a plum and fig tree to the orchard this fall, as I know you will miss those from your current home!

    I just wanted to throw out a little word of caution about using that dark green in the pretty farmhouse bathroom. If you’re going for a farmhouse look, lighter is better. Darker is more Victorian (and very dated 80’s as well). I would encourage you to try the two lighter colors on that paint chip card. My personal recommendation would be the lightest of the three. But you do what makes your heart happy!! I’m so excited for you two! Enjoy every second of your new home!
