House renovating is an arduous process! I just gut-renovated my Bel-Air mansion in Grand Theft Auto 5 and no one appreciates my hard work. Infinity pools take time to build.
We are both doing the work, Chloe is my sister and is helping me with the vision but mainly doing the design. I am paying Chloe for this too. But she is happy to help bc she is my sister and can add this to her portfolio too.
I love how your sister is invested in this series as well! When she was like, "We should do a budget video for them" hahahah. I was like, "Yesss please Chloe!" Lol
I’m obsessed with this house renovation series! It’s something that I’m really interested in so I love that you’re giving us the inside scoop of the whole process
I love that you made a hard decision to move back in with your parents from NYC! Now you have your first house/investment property. Always better to come! ❤️
I was thnking that! It truly is crazy how life works and how God's plan is so much better than what we think. I am so thankful I moved back home during this season.
The slightly darker floor is nice! Bring some warmth! It's an old house, I don't suggest going too sterile looking. But it's your house, this only a suggestion!
@@NatalieBarbu Just FYI darker floors show a lot of dust and fur. I have a dog and wish I went with lighter floors lol but my dog seems to have more fur than your dog.
I am loving the house renovation series! It’s so cool to see Chloe explaining everything and you can really tell all the hard work that is going into the house and also just all the hard work you are doing Natalie! 💕 I’m so excited to see it progress!
For some reason the American houses always surprise me. Like you can really knock down all walls in a day, because it is just wood. I wish it was this easy in solid brick/ steel / concrete houses we have in Europe. Blows my mind honestly. I never understood how in tv people punch through the wall before I saw videos like yours.
I’m loving this videos and the amount of information you’re sharing on the renovation!!! Chloe is low hey a genius at this?! She is so young but has such a clear idea and voice!!!!
I have been following you for forever and your content is always the most applicable and real. I graduated in May this year with an IE degree, and now work in business. I and have been following along with your apartment hunts, finance discussions, and house hunting all at the same time as making these decisions in my own life. SO excited to see the reno and to continue to learn from you 😍
You remind me of my family in the sense that my mom and sister are also REALLY into decor and everything involved in it and they know exactly what to do whereas I only know whether I like something or not when I see it lol. At this point, my sister knows my taste so well that I give her a green light to rearrange my house whenever she visits ❤️
The darker floor boards work better with the style and architecture of your house. The only thing I'd be wary of is the texture/grooves in the planks, as they would easily trap dirt and dust, especially with your dog. Just something to consider!
I noticed you didn’t show the backyard, are you going to do something to your backyard. Also it’s funny your watching Tara and she’s also getting a home!
Love how you’re breaking down the process! All the home reno shows on Netflix just go from old house > amazing new house, with barely any info in between 🤣🤣
i watch them! i think its also funny how Natalie is like we HAVE to have a budget, and I'm sure i remember Monica saying they hadnt made a budget yet haha. Love both content though!
Try to keep the home cozy and inviting as much as possible! There are so many homes that look alike, but none with some character/personality. I loved the cheaper flooring because it doesn’t give off blue hues (to me) as much as the others. Even the tile looked like it had a blue hue to it. I loved what you guys did with the ceilings as well! ☺️
This is so exciting! I am searching for my first home right now too and hoping to find a fixer upper so I am already loving this series. I put an offer in on a house last weekend and got beat out by an all cash offer which was discouraging but this keeps me motivated!
Aw that can be so hard but just know that house wasnt for you! There were a lot of houses that I wanted to put an offer on and then they were under contract before I got around to it. And I am so happy I got this one instead!
Lol I was going to call the stairs changing direction but I didn’t want to kill the bar since I was hoping it would work but I think you’re sister figured it out!! I’m loving it so far thank you for showing the process :))
I love ur channel! So inspiring and helps a lot of new home owners. Im so excited to stay on the journey with you! Btw I’ve been watching for a while on my computer and I’ve been subbed, but I just started watching on my phone so I subbed on here too!
Did you draw up any plans before the renovation? It's cool to see the discussions with your family and now with the workers about the different possibilities but in the end you have to have something on paper, right? Before something goes wrong 🙈
Not architectural plans. You technically don’t need to. Everything is being inspected throughout the process by engineers but we didn’t hire an architect. We have also done this many times so we have a good idea of what works and discuss everything with contractors and engineers to make sure it’s all good!
Your sister is goals I love how confident she is when addressing the contractors.

Well, if you need someone to appreciate your hard work, you have my support 😂😂😂. I'm also one your subscribers 😉🤗.
Girl I want a house tour
We appreciate it Kelly you’re a work of art
stop making everything about you
@@99Psyc We're friends in real life joking with each other. Maybe you need to come *relax* in my infinity pool.👙
omg been livinggggg for all updates on your house & just about died when I saw myself on your tv HAHAHA
HAHAHA I have been loving the vlogs
It’s truly admirable how Chloe can envision all of that in a practically empty house
I’m confused lol. Is she just paying for it but Chloe is doing all the work? I might’ve missed a vlog but just confused
We are both doing the work, Chloe is my sister and is helping me with the vision but mainly doing the design. I am paying Chloe for this too. But she is happy to help bc she is my sister and can add this to her portfolio too.
And yes, I’m paying for it.
Right? I’m like ummmm whaaaat is that again?!! And she’s pointing to the kitchen, tv wall, etc etc

I admire how you & Chloe can both work so well together and come up with such amazing ideas as a team! You are both so creative🤩
I personally like the idea of having the dining room closer to the kitchen
This series is seriously amazing! All of the work will be totally worth it ❤️
im so excited for it to be done but enjoying the process!
@@NatalieBarbu yes! It's sooo important to live presently and enjoy the process 🥰
Can you please make a video on how to find the right contractors! I love this home series!
Lovvvve that you’re watching Tara!! She’s the bestest ✨💛
I didnt know that your family spoke spanish! it was so nice hearing them and the contractors!
For some reason the American houses always surprise me. Like you can really knock down all walls in a day, because it is just wood. I wish it was this easy in solid brick/ steel / concrete houses we have in Europe. Blows my mind honestly. I never understood how in tv people punch through the wall before I saw videos like yours.
Yeah we definitely have strong houses in Europe ☺️ I could NOT imagine living in a “fragile” US home
I’m loving this videos and the amount of information you’re sharing on the renovation!!! Chloe is low hey a genius at this?! She is so young but has such a clear idea and voice!!!!
The cheap floor was actually my initial fav!! I love seeing Chloe being such a girl boss hahaha she is like the boss

This is sooo exciting! So inspiring to me you are doing this at 23 🙌
I noticed you didn’t show the backyard, are you going to do something to your backyard. Also it’s funny your watching Tara and she’s also getting a home!
I am excited to see everything coming together and for the video about how you budget everything🥺
BAMBINO is SO CUTE. Also OK Chloe!! Getting after it in the house reno!! The progress has been so fast. I can't wait to see the finished product
Also a huge congratulations on the relaunch!! It looks amazing. So impressive everything that you're doing
Thank you so much Sarah! I have you on our 2020 annual report as an up and coming influencer for 2021!!
@@NatalieBarbu omg NO WAY. Thank you so much ❤️❤️ I'm flattered is an understatement
Love how you’re breaking down the process! All the home reno shows on Netflix just go from old house > amazing new house, with barely any info in between 🤣🤣
Chloe is killin it! girl boss 💕💕
So excited for you with the Web Bloom Social!❤🙌
The darker floors are more timeless and less trendy. Also I’m sure you will appreciate darker floors with pets, snow and just life in general.
I would love a whole video on how you budgeted for the Reno
Here for Chloe.!!!!!!! So articulate too
don’t forget to pay and feed your contractors well!!! they work really hard
I love love love the light wood 🙌🏻

Chloe is so talented. Wow, I’m in awe!!
My timeline is filled with house buying and Reno and I’m not mad. Do you guys watch Monica and Shelby??
Excited for the budget videos
i watch them! i think its also funny how Natalie is like we HAVE to have a budget, and I'm sure i remember Monica saying they hadnt made a budget yet haha. Love both content though!
@@queeldiablo yes haha. I was stressed for them bc it’s 10k here. 7k here and it adds up so quick. They definitely know what they are doing though
So... Barbu home renovations coming soon?! You all are so amazing at this!! You should make this a family business😍

YOU'RE DOING GREAT NATALIE! You got this, we love everything you're doing :)
Chloe has such an amazing eye!!
RIGHT
Holy cow they did such a great job for only 1 day of work👌🏽
Separate video on the budget please!! Talking about the finances of your house reno is literally the best in both world
This is so exciting! I am searching for my first home right now too and hoping to find a fixer upper so I am already loving this series. I put an offer in on a house last weekend and got beat out by an all cash offer which was discouraging but this keeps me motivated!

I hope you can keep doing these remodel videos in the future! I love it!
Is Chloe majoring in interior design or something along those lines? She really has good eye for this kind of stuff!
I believe she’s doing something business or marketing related. Not completely sure tho!
She’s majoring in something business related!
so excited to see how the renovations go 💛
i love all of the house updates! I can't wait to see when the new floor plan is done.
Lol I was going to call the stairs changing direction but I didn’t want to kill the bar since I was hoping it would work but I think you’re sister figured it out!! I’m loving it so far thank you for showing the process :))
Chloe was MADE for this!
I already know I’m going to love these vlogs! Can’t wait to see the transformation 🤩
Def love this house renovation series. Especially because I’m starting to look at houses soon 💕✨
I am all about home renovations lately
ME TOO!
I LOVE SYDNEY CUMMINGS OMG
I’m so excited for this series but omg it makes me nervous!
Omg so cool 👌🏽 glad you’re videoing the whole process!!! Also love your new website!!! So cool!
Omg this is so exciting! This is gonna be awesome!!! 😎👏🏻🤗💕
I think so too!
@@NatalieBarbu I have no doubt that it's gonna be so! I'm looking forward to more videos from this series of yours 😉💕. You're such an inspiration! 😉😍
sister is so boss lady!
and yesss!!💥✨ make a whole video about the budgeting process 🙌🏻
Your family's house looks epic!! Obviously financial literacy runs in the fam!
OMG I can’t wait to see the final product it’s going to look beautiful😍
before we all know it the house will be done 😻
AHH! It is expected to be done in April so lets hope we stick to the timeline!
@@NatalieBarbu omgggg yes yes time will fly by
Best way to spend my day. Omg I'm so excited for the end result!
My new favourite series
I am currently in the midst of the same project!! I just bought my first house to renovate and I think it would be so helpful for a budgeting video.
Hey! So in the description says you're posting hirings on Insta, will you also post on webloom's website or linkedin?
omg LOVEEEE the rebranding!! so cute
Whole video on budgeting for the renovations please! I am a interior designer and plan on flipping homes too!
so excited for this series!!! omg 🥺❤️
Thank you for showing this process!! So cool to see ☺️ I definitely want to film this too if I end up doing this in my future home
Its definitely not good to get used to getting no sleep. Sleep is so important to your health!
How long did it take you to get permits for the structural changes?
I can't wait to see the progress
Your sister gives me BIG Virgo vibes hahaha she is so helpful!!
When the workers talk to you in Spanish is it like speaking to your mom where you reply in English?
Yes! I speak for myself but I understand everything but have trouble speaking.
Do you mind me asking who you’re using for renovations? I live in Charlotte too and I’ve been struggling to find Someone reliable 😅
I think you should do the warmer wood. I think it will last longer than the current trend
I love ur channel! So inspiring and helps a lot of new home owners. Im so excited to stay on the journey with you! Btw I’ve been watching for a while on my computer and I’ve been subbed, but I just started watching on my phone so I subbed on here too!
Aw thank you!!
@@NatalieBarbu OMG ahhh!!! Thank you for replying! So excited!
Yay, can't wait to see how it is going ❤️😊
Nice and busy day ✅
omg i love sydney cummings too and i had no idea she lived in charlotte either! and would love to see a house budgeting video!
Totally relate on the no sleep with a puppy it’s rough
Would love to see an excel template with your budget so we can customise our own from there :)
Did you draw up any plans before the renovation? It's cool to see the discussions with your family and now with the workers about the different possibilities but in the end you have to have something on paper, right? Before something goes wrong 🙈
Not architectural plans. You technically don’t need to. Everything is being inspected throughout the process by engineers but we didn’t hire an architect. We have also done this many times so we have a good idea of what works and discuss everything with contractors and engineers to make sure it’s all good!
Is your sister for hire 😂😂Could use her eye on my home reno! Does she have a YT channel on design?
Hahaha I’ll ask!! Lol
I'm always amazed by american houses. They basically just wood, how do they even hold up? In Europe houses are made with concrete, metal, bricks...
Has she said anywhere if she is going to live in the house or resell??
I think she said she was unsure yet two videos ago.
Wait. I missed it. Did you raise the roof?
I don’t think I could ever renovate a house cause I’m SOO indecisive
I recently started my own TH-cam channel. I can’t wait to be in a similar position! One day I hope🙏🏽✨
Is this a house you plan to live in or a house you are flipping?
