- Hey party people! Thanks so much for hanging out with me today while I share with you THE BIG DAY that we've been waiting for, for literally years. lol Moving Day! It's not perfect, but it'll do! I can't wait to take our time to decorate these rooms and get settled in, again! It feels like we're moving into this place for the first time and it's pretty cool! Getting their rooms cleaned, ready to move, and rearranged is so fun! Can't wait to start thrifting for all the furniture to fill the rooms up!
Kim!

My daughter was the artist among our two children and she did a crayon drip piece against the white wall in our main bathroom. When she moved out (she's 27 now) we also found neon pink glitter glue in the carpet in her room. I never got upset about any of it because her creativity always brought me so much joy... Watching her brain work in full color as she grew. As much as I love every age with my children, I still really miss those innocent days of color and self expression❤
I’m an artist that painted in my room as a child, so I totally understand your dilemma. How about dedicating a corner in her room with good lighting. Then get a outdoor rug and put a solid rug pad underneath. Then for the walls you can use bead board or other wall treatments sold at Lowe’s an install with 3M tape so it’s not permanent, but washable. Paint the “wall panels” with glossy paint so it washes off well.
Maybe some kind of paintable, washable wallpaper for behind her desk.
Fantastic ideas!
Just roll butcher paper could work for the walls? She could decorate it if she wanted, and change it as much as she wants.
Clear "contact paper" that is usually used to protect shelves in cabinets could be used to protect the desk and possibly the walls and floors!
As an hobby painter I use my kitchen table as my “studio”, I found some plastic runners to protect my floors and rug, you can also get mural paper for her walls, it can be replaced often and used as a painting surface. Meredith is so sweet, I am so happy for all of you, extra rooms are a blessing.
OMG! I'm 70..addicted to the Wads and I thought I would be dead before your addition was finished!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉I'm so happy you finally hit the finish line! 🎉🎉🎉 Now hurry up and get it all together before I leave this earth.....please!😅😅 😊
I think we're ALL almost as happy as you are that everyone got moved in their new rooms! I've been waiting and hoping for this for so long, and as soon as I saw this video up, I couldn't wait! You totally deserve to finally have your own room again ❤
no way! i’ve been following you since you moved into this house. it’s been a long road to finally get to this place!! so happy for y’all🎉😊
So happy for you! You are such a great example of patience, humility and living life without having to make things perfect. I wanted to cheer when you just threw those dresses up in that closet. This is my girl right here! When my oldest child went off to college 2 years ago I pulled her aside and said I have the most important life lesson I need to teach you. It is how to fold a fitted sheet properly. Once I had her FULL attention I proceed to quickly ball it up in a giant mess and throw it in the closet. She looked at me so strange and I said, "that's the lesson- life is too short to care about how your fitted sheet is folded". 😂
Yes! I have friends who are so stressed about folding a fitted sheet. I don't get it. It gets put on the bed where the wrinkles come out, who cares if it is folded perfectly and put in the linen closet?
That's so funny! I'm 68 & remember my mom IRONING the sheets when I was little, fast forward a few years & she was balling them up too.
😂 this is amazing ❤
Use clear peel and stick wallpaper on the walls behind the desk. It will protect the paint and will come right off the wall when it needs to be changed.
I should do this for my kitchen in my apartment lol
She can also get a chair mat for the floor. There's glass/plastic for noncarpeted floors. My dad prefers the glass because it doesn't crack over time like the plastic.
Genius!
Where can I buy it? 😊
SCREAMING, I am SO excited for every single one of you!!❤❤❤🎉
Never thought we’d see the day!!
I look forward to future organizing and decorating…
You and me both 😂
@@thewadsquadLove your video s❤
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Same!
Kim watching you sorting toys on Meredith’s floor ought back so many memories for me. I had two boys 9 and 6 and then a girl! It was a wonderful time! My sons are now almost 56 and 53. My daughter passed five years ago. But I can remember sitting on the floor sorting, sorting. With the boys it was cowboys and Indians, excuse me, Cowboys and Native Americans, green soldiers, Revolutionary soldiers and British,and of course legos. We had a dark moss green deep rug and of course the soldiers would always wind up on the rug with their bayonets aiming up. My husband who never wore slippers had bandaids on his feet for years! Then when my daughter came along any little tiny thing was her favorite even Smurfs which I couldnt stand. I was back on the floor again! You were working like crazy and I was just sitting here smiling with my memories! Thank you!
Alex taking pictures for you of the kids stuff is the sweetest freakin thing ever!!! ❤
I agree, his hands on help with Kim by his side is refreshing. 🤗
Alex’s Christmas cat sweater was a highlight. 🤣😂
You could try a plexiglass or clear plastic frame behind her desk on the wall, and on top of the desk itself--she could layer cute pictures behind it so it's decorative, but easy to clean and doesn't stain any surfaces. This is what we did for my daughter who is also an artist. 😅 And you can always remove it later. And as far as the floor, a good boho rug from the thrift store under the desk will work and if it's colorful no one will ever know! 🎉
One of the bunks with a full bed on bottom and a twin up to would be fun. Then the girls could have sleepovers, cuddle and watch movies. Etc. that’s what we had in one of the bedrooms at our ski house, and it was so much fun. All 4 of us girls would literally crash in the same room watching movies. In fact we are all in our 30’s and 40’s now and we still occasionally have movie binges when we can get time together.
Kim I'm so happy for you!!!!!
Alex is wearing Christmas kitty shirt and Kim has Christmas slippers. Cute
I kept a box with both my kids art work. My oldest daughter now who is 22, is happy I kept them & went through them all. ❤
The joy on your face! So happy you finally get to move in to your new spaces. Re the kids art work, open five folders on your computer, with their names and then in each folder, add separate folders for the years, either by age or date and add all the photo's of their artwork. That way, you'll have it all in the right spot for each child and you could print the whole years worth off in one go. You could also save them and just make one giant photo book for their 18th birthdays. If you save to a back up drive, it'll keep them safe. If you start from this point onwards, it won't seem so daunting and you can still gradually add the photo's that Alex took.
FINALLY....... SO HAPPY FOR Y'ALL
I had a portable file holder for each child,it was kept in their closet,every time a piece of artwork came home that they wanted to keep it went into a folder for that year, it had to be a very special item, I kept each child’s baby book in there as well, when they left home after college each child took the box with them . Each box was stuffed with 12 plus years of memories for them to now share with their children.
Yay!!!!! Yipeeee!!!! Yahoooo!!!!! FINALLY right? So happy for you and the Wads Fam 💜💙💚💛🧡
p.s. I have 2 grown sons and had so much of their "sentimental" items. I pared it all down and now I have one bin for each son and one bin for combination stuff. I wanted to save it for them to look through when I'm gone. Both my parents have passed and I had so many happy memories looking thru all the stuff they saved.
Yay!! So excited for you all!! My husband is a contractor here in PA and he was blown away by what you were dealing with. That contractor should be ashamed of himself. I’m glad it’s done and your family compound is ready to live in!!
Do you know the name of the LVP you used? Looking for the exact same floor for my house
I’m from PA also! Good contractors are a blessing! I can’t believe the issues they had either!!
If Wentworth would like the bunk bed maybe it could go in his room. Since he’s not getting a new room, maybe a mini update with a new bed would be good for him.
I love that you let Eleanor paint in her room. You are such a great Mom and housekeeper, I always had a mess everywhere. I was a stay at home mom of 3 boys, who are all grown. I think it's great that you don't let messes get to you.
So incredibly happy for you all!
That contractor should be ashamed!
Take care of yourselves and don't over do it.
With PRAYERS AND AIR HUGS🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
You should get big containers for each child and do a memory box. Put all their drawings and stuff that's for memories and put them in the boxes/containers and then when they're older they can look at it all later in life.
I actually lived to see the day✨🎊✨🥰
This is so exciting that you got to move in to the addition, what a journey, I am so excited for you! This journey is “long story longer” 😂😂😂
The fireplace would look cool in your bedroom too.
So happy for you all! The rooms look great! Love the fireplace! Love your office space! You could so have a reading chair, table and lamp in your bedroom corner! Or in your office by the fireplace!
I’ve never clicked so fast!!! So exciting that it’s finally happening!!
A sage green(on the darker side) accent wall would look beautiful behind the fireplace. It will add warmth and would look great with a few lounge chairs, a nice rug, wood shelves and some greenery.
28:46 The way Alex looked at you and then smirked at the camera is the way I want a man to look at me too. You can feel the love while watching 🥰
Eww
Re: painting…go get a big square of sheet vinyl flooring to put on the floor under the easel she’s using. The walls can be protected with something as simple as hanging a curtain, even a shower curtain.
Remove acrylic paint with ammonia, rubbing alcohol, or acetone. Don’t use rubbing alcohol on the walls, though, it’ll take off latex paint too.
Also sell what you don’t want or aren’t using. Then you can put that towards the new beds, etc. this is a dream house, make it special for everyone. Even if you shop at thrift shops or antique shops you can get beautiful things. I have a “Princess” theme room as my sisters tease. I prefer more Jane Austen inspired. I have my desk for work, paying bills, grad school stuff…. Then my grandmothers antique vanity and stool that I took floral curtains and Velcro and made the skirt around the bench. It came out gorgeous!!! Then I just went with my old Full size bed. And a beautiful tv stand with more storage and a dresser. I’m one of those girls who still likes a dresser drawer for undies, bras, pajamas and workout wear. It’s just this thing I have. Plus I have a ton of clothing and need all the closet space. So start with a theme. Now I don’t mean pawpatrols. Think broader, like “Art Studio” or “Jane Austen” or …. I don’t know what theme for boys? Space? 😂 dinosaurs, monsters, sports and like Varsity letters and pennants and trophies would be cute. But that can help a lot when decorating. Feel free to reach out if you need any ideas. I love decorating by theme and I’m the queen of finding great deals.
You could use the old furniture (in your office) for hiding stuff you bought, like presents for birthday, thanksgiving stuff, valentines decor, Easter stuff. things you just going to have for a short time 🫶🏻😊
I'm SOO happy for everyone! I know what an aggravating, long process the addition was. I look forward to seeing more organization/decluttering as you do each of the kids rooms. You also deserve a spa like bedroom! You work hard & need a place to escape & feel relaxed at the end of a long, hard day!
So happy for you guys! Your little magic brush made me smile - here in Denmark we have what looks to be similar, that we call a dishwashing-brush, and it is what we use to wash dishes by hand (instead of a sponge) - keeps the hands mostly out of the water, and gives a good scrub. Our family usually have one with stiff bristles for rinsing off and a softer one for actual washing up 🙂
I have an art kid. You could stick the cling wrap on desk and walls and pull it and change it easily. And a drop cloth is a must for an artistic kid. I had to make a hard rule that paint doesn’t leave the drop cloth after carpet was painted on. As a side note the clear little shelves are great for art kids to display and change out their art.
Happy you guys got to move in finally. Here’s a tip from one mother of a dress up fanatic to another. Also, my daughter has a tiny room. I recommend you move the dresser out of the closet to provide more hanging space. The dresses are big and bulky, and they will only get bigger as she does. Maybe buy some of those dresser stickers and let her help you decorate her dresser so that it’s more appealing to look at without having to paint it.
I love children but... I'm so glad my days of toys, toys, and more toys are over and I have a clean, nice floor to walk on without stepping on a Lego. My kids are 29 & 31😂
You deserve a larger desk with more storage 🎉❤
So happy for you guys😊finally all your rooms are ready. The kids are so lucky to have a room each, you remind me of my daughter Kim, everything she does is for her children and you are the exact same❤xx
I love that you guys painted the wall without covering or taping anything. True pros!
So excited for you all!!!😀
Ohh my goodness it looks so good. Good job Kim. And I have to say that Wolfgang is getting so so big I can't believe it. Where has the time gone 😆. Luv you guys.
Hi Kim! I know this has been a very long time coming and I am so happy that you are finally moving! I hope you are all enjoying the new spaces!
Dying over the hungry caterpillar backpack that was hanging on Merediths closet. Also, for your artist, what about glade press and seal to protect the desk and wall? Easy to clean up and replace, or a clear shower curtian liner, they are like $2 at target and you can take it outside and hose it off when it needs to be cleaned.
So excited that you are finally moving in. Looks so good!
OMG FINALLY!! So excited for yall! ❤
Ive been on this journey with you since your last house, I loved the small counter and broken oven videos. I'm so happy for you now you have your dream home nearly finished.
FINALLY!! the day we have all been waiting for!
I think it’s so cool how Alex stuck by your side for most of this and y’all worked as a team. Even going through the kids art work.. was a sweet thing to watch🥹
For our daughter we bought a glass artist desk it tilts up and has place for some art supplies and then we got an indoor outdoor rug a cheep on and put it under the art desk
Making the wall around the fireplace a feature would be nice? Maybe paint it navy blue and hang a large silver framed mirror there 😊
Wow Kim!! Musical rooms for everyone, you now have room for more wardrobes/ a seating area in your bedroom. Wolfgang could do with a rug to play on, ( sure it’s already on the list) You finally can have the office and bedroom for your dreams!!! So happy for you and looking forward to seeing your designs.
I’ve never been so happy to see this day finally come for you
So happy and excited for you and your family for this dream home! How amazing 🎉
The waving Christmas sweatered Alex was the bonus!
Love it!!! I know everyone is so excited!! Here’s a moving tip put a rug under heavy stuff and slide,it makes life so easy
Yay🎉 So excited for you all for everything to start coming together! Along time coming! Can’t wait to see what you do with your office and everything. ❤
I can’t even believe it!!!
The day we’ve allllll been impatiently waiting for!!
I'm so excited for you all!!!! FINALLY MOVING DAY!!!!
❤🎉❤YEEEEEEESSSSS!! I'm so happy for you! I'm a long time follower, been watching since your previous home. It almost feels like we've been on this journey with you 😅. Seeing your face light up with excitement was a wonderful thing to see
Home Depot just color matched to a Sherwin Williams 10 year old swatch book for us in December. Maybe depends who is running the paint desk.
I've never had any problems either BUT a lot of people think the color is off, they don't take into consideration that it's been awhile since they painted, and the sunlight lightens up the paint after a few years, 40:13 where you have to paint the whole room again! 😂
With such large bedrooms wondering why beds are up against the walls. It makes changing the bedding really hard. My kids had bunk beds once up against the wall, hated it! So happy you are in your new bedrooms. It’s a lot of work but everyone is going to be so happy!
So happy for you all a new beginning Kim💐
I saw you pop up here Kim, so very good to see you! Love and respect girl, you’re an amazing mom! 😊 I will have to check in more often, yep…I sure will!
Love the rooms and I know the kids will love them too ❤ Much love to you and yours…xoxo ✌️
Fireplace is so stylish and chic white, matching mop boards and window ledges. Beautiful! And I don't know what I'm looking for it will look lovely with a beautiful painting that makes you happy over it! It welcomes you into the room!
What about a futon for the extra space in the girls rooms ? It will make the rooms more cozy and grownup and can be used for sleepovers. Fun pillows will show personalities. So glad you are finally setting up your dream house into the home you envisioned.
ZEP WALL CLEANER IS HOLY GRAIL 🙌🏻
So exciting!!! Oh the memories this brought back… OK, I’ll share! My sister was seven years older than me, and she moved out of our shared room when I was 10 years old, in fourth grade. Cried my eyes out for months missing her, (though my parents put me on a train BY MYSELF!!, to go stay w her at College, San Diego State- 3 hrs south on train!), but I remember painting my room, this bright green, and then having sleepovers with my friends with the extra bed… It was just an amazing time in my life when I got my own room, after I got over my grief.
Yay!! You finally got the new rooms and were able to move in! I bet the kids love their new rooms. It's s probably been said already but I'm pretty sure that's a coyote painting.
I had large plastic storage bins (like the Costco ones) for each child. I would throw all their art and school papers in each child’s bin. As they aged, I had more time and they had less papers so eventually things were sorted and scrapbooks made.
I'm so excited for you. I was so surprised when I saw the title. I've been following you since Wentworth was small and have enjoyed all your videos.
How exciting for everyone. It’s been a long wait, but WHOOHOOOOOOOO.
Maybe you could put Meredith's wardrobe in your primary bedroom on the wall where your desk was. I know that it used to be in your bedroom before. The wood color is close to what your bed is and would match.
Buy and install some clear acrylic sheeting on the wall behind her desk. The paint should wipe off acrylic easily.
OH MY GOSH FINALLY!!! It had just been an eternity. I remember watching you house shop. My goodness. So excited for you!
So happy for you. You should put the fireplace in your bedroom under your tv 😂😂❤
I'm so happy for you guys! Especially you. The stressful release must be huge! 💜
I'm so happy for you guys... I know how long and awaited this has been for yall! 😊 it looks absolutely beautiful!
Shower curtain for the wall. Many great colors and designs and will keep the paint off the walls.
Wow! Wow! Wow! I’m so happy for you. This move into the addition has been a long time coming. I can’t wait to see all the projects that you will do with kids rooms and with your office space. The fireplace is fantastic. Live with it as is for a while and then decide to repaint or stain it. A rug in front of it would make it feel cozy. I like the desk in front of the window, it’s nice to look out while working. Just needs a chair or two and artwork and decor and you are set. lol. I’m sure the kids are as happy as you are. Thanks for sharing.
We had our little one in a mini crib in our room and she slept horribly. We got a trundle from Amazon that pulls totally out from the main bed to become a floor bed. She sleeps amazingly now. She just wanted her own quiet space and room to move around. She’s 15 months.
We have the ikea bed you were talking about for our son. We never did a crib and it worked great! He is almost 3 and is still rocking in it!
Yes this is amazing and look great and love it . Be proud of your self
I smashed that play button so fast! I'm SO excited for everyone. It's almost over. 🥰
So happy for you and your family that this day has finally come! ❤
Yay love that this time has finally come. You guys all deserve your own space as you all seem so creative and fun. Well done.
Yay!! Time has come I remember when you just move in that house
I love when Alex gets behind the camera and waves or shows us his muscles🤣😂❤️
Exciting day for us all to watch. So happy for your family ❤
OH HAPPY FREAKING DAY!!!!! SO DANG HAPPY FOR YA’LL!!! Cant wait to see more organizing and decorating videos!!
When our daughter was 12 we bought her a king size loft bed. She also had a u shaped desk built in underneath it. She absolutely loved that bed.
We just moved, and I thought I’ll just move what we have and make due. When we got here, all our stuff looks so dinky . This place has high ceilings and it’s amazing how different the scale is. I’m now looking at bigger scale tables etc so that it doesn’t look like I’m using stools as tables, dressers look like boxes. It’s weird and I wasn’t expecting it.
Oh my goodness ! How exciting !! I never thought I’d see the day! 😂 I’ve been following you since before you moved into this house !! 🎉 I am excited with you all!!
I love Ovalina's Room ❤ You guys did a great job kim❤
I liked the video before I watched it!! I’m so happy for you all that this day finally happened!
Yay! I’m so excited for you and your family! I can’t imagine how you feel, especially taking as long as it did. Cannot wait to see how each room evolves as ideas come to mind. ❤
I bought a plastic box from michaeks in the craft area and that's where I store all the art peices that mean alot to me. Each of my kids have one ❤
