Denise you have four children, a husband, a home to manage etc so don’t ever feel guilty for taking a break! I can’t imagine anyone unsubscribing to you. Do what is right for you, no explanation required! Wow you sure work hard. I absolutely LOVE this bookcase transition. I also love how you kept the top a natural wood. Great job! 💕
I have said before but you guys are so good at keeping the integrity of the mid century vibe of your home and adding the cool modern touches. It's a really unique and beautiful home. I am glad you posted a TH-cam video. I know you are big on Instagram, and I am on it. But I really enjoy sitting down with a cup of coffee and watching a video.
The result was well worth the effort, stunning! Good to see you back Denise. Putting yourself and your family first is understandable, glad to see you back.
When I saw on Instagram that you redid this built-in I was so bummed out cause I wanted to watch you do it. So I was super pumped to see this video today! I love watching you transform a space. You’re SO GOOD at it. I’m happy you’ve decided to come back to TH-cam! 💜
Fits well into my space, I painted the back green. It's very easy to customize just the back if that's something you want to do. I would suggest sanding it first before painting, I got a little impatient. The shelves th-cam.com/users/postUgkxM8H4CjCb79vzeyvgaFMdzmLm88oVFPMkare pretty small so keep that in mind if you're going to have it horizontal that some books won't fit. I like the snug look that it has. Good small shelf if you don't have much space, but not too small. Simple to put together, though you'll need your own tools, a screwdriver and a mallet/hammer, it's easiest to do with another person.
Beautiful makeover! Never apologize for taking a break! Your self care and your families self care are the most important and should always come first.
I've missed your videos! So glad that you are taking care of yourself and your family. Everyone needs a "vacay". You do you and we will be here when you are ready!
Love the bookcase! I looks amazing! Family is super important, your happiness is important! If you need a break you don't need to explain it to anyone. I'm glad you have time to spend with your family and refresh yourself. Hope you are doing amazing!
Yes I have missed you a lot. So so glad to hear all is well. Prayers were said for you and all your family. Being a mom of 3 and grandmother to 12, I understand!! Your life comes first before anyone and anything else!! Love all the work you have done on your home. My oldest son just moved to Pueblo for a new job.
Wow! What a beautiful transformation. You are incredibly talented. Thank you for taking the time to share with us, especially considering what a busy household you have!
Will be here whenever you are, but please make sure you take whatever time you need for your family. You have done such a great job with this makeover. It has changed the feel of the whole room x
Congratulations, Denise! you did an excellent job! your piece is absolutely gorgeus! thank you so much for sharing your beautiful work! I look forward to your new videos.
Still here ! So glad you are back. Breaks are sometimes needed. The project came out so nice. Although I know it's not, you make everything look so easy. Loved when your son came over and patted your back. Precious.
It’s great to have you back Denise😊 The bookcase is absolutely beautiful, you did a great job. Stylish and practical. I’m so happy your back , your a breath of fresh air 😘
So happy ❤️that you’re back love your home make over videos. I truly understand that you always need a break to spend time with family and friends. Much love to you Denise and family 💕💕💕🥰.
Really good to see you back. That bookcase is lovely, you always make these makeovers seem so easy. I would never be brave enough to paint things black but that looks so classy xx
Absolutely beautiful! I have missed you and your videos and kids, but I'm glad you took some time to yourself and focused on your family and you! Great to see you back and looking forward to catching up on your videos!
The bookcase is beautiful! Love the natural wood with the black. I can relate to just needing to sit back and take a break and re-evaluate. Glad to see your back.
So happy to see you. Your projects are amazing because of the time and care that you put into them. This massive bookcase turned out beautiful. I would never unsuscribe if you did not post regularly. Life happens and people need to understand. I can't believe how big the boys are getting. So adorable. Thank you for being you. God bless your precious family. 💖
Denise I love that you said that about stepping away from something. I do want to step away from my very toxic job right now and just have a few months to figure out me. Not sure I will be able to do that as I am the breadwinner but I will strive to find other ways to give myself grace without feeling like a failure and feeling guilty all of the time. It’s tough being a mom, wife, coworker, taking care of a home, sick parents, the list goes on. Thank you for giving me that permission and reminding me we are all going through it. It helps more than you know.
Absolutely fabulous transformation! You should be so proud and pleased with yourself! Welcome back, you've been missed....but totally understand the need for some me time.
Absolutely beautiful. I lord the colour and the wood. My kitchen is wood and black trim. I’m going to paint my house black as well. Love it! Stay safe and love what you do. Life is to short not to enjoy it. Blessings!
Love seeing your renovations. Your style is so different than mine, you give me ideas and inspiration I’d never think of myself. Keep posting when you feel like it! It’s so fun watching your home transform and you’re so good at it
Omg I cannot believe how big the kids got!!! So adorable!!! Love love love what you did with that bookcase!!! Do it all up!!! You are such a hard worker and very creative - I know the hubster helps but you have a vision!!!
It is so wonderful to see you and know that you and the family are ok. The bookshelf looks beautiful Denise, it looked like a lot of work but the end result was definitely worth it. Thanks for sharing this with us, I am sure I am not the only one who has missed you!
The bookcase looks amazing and I’m so glad to have you back. Please continue to put yourself and your family first. I’ll be here to watch whenever you post ❤️
So glad you're back, Denise! I sure missed your videos, but I definitely understand. Take your time, and post when it works for you and your amazing family! I'll be here! Blessings on you...
omg how wonderful to have you back. i cant believe how big the children have grown and that you and john are looking so good. i really missed you.iv had open heart surgery since i last watched you but im getting there slowly..i love the way the unit turned out, very rich looking and it looks like it was always there...
Denise, I commented about the prep kitchen thinking that you hadn’t shown the finished work. I went back and checked for the video and found it. Then I remembered that you had shown everything . You were just waiting for a finish to arrive. Some how I thought it wasn’t shown completed. Da…It is beautiful and the black ties in to the other rooms. Once you finish painting the plant boxes you should do a home tour of all your hard work. So happy you are coming back with videos.
Missed your videos Denise. So glad to see you. I hope you don't lose any subscribers. We need to be happy you have a video out and not expect it. You have a family, they are obviously your priority. God bless.
So so happy to see that you’re back. Glad that you’re all doing ok, and a huge wow to that masterpiece of a project.... looks fabulous. Much love from UK. Xx
It was so GREAT to see you back! Came back with a bang too! The bookshelves turned out absolutely gorgeous, stunning, very high end, LOVE! 😍 You have such a calmness about you, which I absolutely adore. Thank you for taking the time off for yourself and your sweet family. They are what is truly important and we as viewers are here along for the ride! Never feel guilty for just being YOU!
Its beautiful. I totally love it. Ive been checking often to see if you had any videos. Im glad you had a great summer with your family. You are such a great mom. We all missed you.
So glad your didn’t quit TH-cam it’s lovely to see you all again and what a project to come back with. I love your vision how you can see a project and just do it. The work you have put into your home is incredible you work so hard and with a young family I don’t know how you do it but I am glad you do. Thank you for sharing x o
I'm still here, just got back from a European tour, my son got married in Croatia on the island of Brac, so I was happy to see that you posted a video, looking forward to seeing how much the little munchkins have grown. Don't you worry about taking a break, with 4 little ones, life can be full, and what's important is that you spend as much time as possible with them now.
So glad ur back, everyone needs a break and family is always No1 priority no matter what ur doing love how this all turned out and I love the colour xx
Love your videos and I completely understand and appreciate that a break was needed and you actually took it. That’s an accomplishment in an of itself. YOU’RE A MOM OF FOUR! Take as many breaks as you need. I have one and I am extremely tired 3/4 of the time. You are doing great.
Glad you’re back. So happy to hear you are feeling better in your physical and mental health. New babies, older kids, family life, work in general all take it out of you. The bookcase turned out beautiful.
Good to see you back! This came out amazing! Having redone furniture before, the sanding is definitely the hardest part. I always love your projects, and learn so much too.
I cannot believe how long it took you to save that beautiful built in. It looks amazing! I know that many have given you kudos and affirmations- but here’s one more just in case. You are the CFO, CEO, COO, all the OO’s. You get to take a break or rethink how you spend your time. You put your family first and we admire that. The fact that you can find the time to do projects, video and then the never ending edit is amazing. We will be here when you can show up. ☺️
So happy you're back! My favorite TH-camr. It's OK to take time for yourself and your family. I'm glad you're in a better head space. Bravo on your awesome DIYs.
I am so glad to see a video of yours again I already missed you I admire you a lot for being so hardworking and talented very nice everything you do is beautiful blessings for all of you
Oh I've missed you, I've been checking every day to see if you had put a new video up and hoping you hadn't quit. Lovely to see you today and the bookcase looks amazing. Can't believe how big the boy's are getting.
