I love your sister, Christine! She and her family are blessed to have a sister and family that is so generous and talented to be able to fix up the house that she will call a home. 🥰
I know I am such a weirdo but I love '80s & '90s home vibes. If I found a 1992 time capsule house, I wouldn't change a thing 😂. They just feel so homey and nice 🥰lol
Thanks so much for giving your sister such a wonderful hand up. 💕 Thanks for taking her out of the crazy rental market. As a single mum, I know how much this means to her. 🥰
I’ve been a long-time subscriber & I love when your sister is in your videos! So exciting for her & her kids to move into such a big beautiful house!! Love these types of videos from you.
I'm so happy for her. You Christine are such a blessing to your sister and for sharing your life with us. You truly show a wonderful kindness and beautiful heart to all of us! May God immensely bless you!!! Enjoy! The home is so beautiful too!
The house looks AMAZING--and I love it's a whole family project. And Lauren, can I just say your arms are phenomenal! I feel like you put the rest of the internet to shame. :) I hope you and your kiddos find years of joy together in your new home.
I wish I had a crew like yours working on my house. Things would actually get done! Her kitchen reminds me of yours, the way the appliances are laid out. I love your color choices.
How cool! Is this the house where you and your sister Lauren reorganized the pantry? I see that this remodel took a long time therefore I was curious about the timeline of doing the pantry and Lauren moving to the remodeled house in this video. Everything looks great in the after scenes (that kitchen is laid out kind of like your kitchen). I’m sure your sister and family will be happy there. Thanks for sharing.
Oh to have your own bathroom!! Congrats! We are a family of 9 sharing one bathroom. Well to be honest there's only 6 of us at home now. Still 1 bathroom though.
A cedar lined closet is wonderful for winter clothes storage, especially wool!! Take some fine grit sandpaper and rough the cedar up and the smell will be fantastic!!
We just bought another home (planning on selling our current one) and it was built in the 80's. This home has the EXACT same hardware on the cabinets... ugh. However, with over 50 pieces the cost to replace seemed outrageous. I taped off the white porcelain section of all the hardware, painted the brass part with black chalk spray paint, and they turned out beautiful! Just a thought to save some money and get a more updated look. Nice home and congrats.
i moved into a new flat last summer and although it was "completely renovated" according to the contract we had to do a lot of stuff before i was able to move in. we did it all ourselves (we didn´t have to move walls, close doors and put new doors in walls). we did have to build in a complete kitchen though which we did for the first time ourselves. i did it with my sisters and it was such an awesome time. we worked like horses, but it was so much fun. no matter how much hard work it was, the time is SO well spent in my opinion. i almost envy you a bit for all of that ;)
What an inspiring video. Great job family! I love the design choices too. Very serene and functional. Lauren - nice to meet you! Love the guns. An additional inspiration.
Christine, I love the new house and all the upgrades that you guys have done. I noticed in the after tour of the kitchen that you missed a set of gold hinges under the sink for the flip out doors. Great to see all your kids helping and learning all the skills that most kids now a days don't know.
Congratulations to your sister! I'm so happy for her and her family. Now she can be comfortable in her home. The changes are amazing. The place looks so good. You all did a fantastic job.
You had to go into the master bedroom to access the only working bathroom in the house we lived in when DD2 was an infant. When we viewed the home during DH’s job interview (the house was part of the perks of the job so we couldn’t make any changes) there was another bath upstairs between the other two bedrooms, but since there were drainage issues in the shower, they totally disconnected the sink and shower drains. Totally awkward. The kitchen layout looks a lot like yours.
Congratulations on your joint venture! Basement looks and functions so much better, awesome you were able to get those changes done before the actual move. Congrats Lauren on completing your body building show hope you enjoyed your event! Nice job and amazing what you can get done with extra hands.
Congrats on the new investment venture! Really nice that you can get the work done and painting pryor to moving in. If it were my kitchen; I'd remove the curved upper cabinets at the end of the island and put up open shelves. It would open it up more and make a nice focal point. Congrats again!
Such a great video. And so timely for me to find. My husband and I bought our first rental house to redo back in January and we are still finishing up. However, it's just the two of us working on it so I think we are doing well. We've also had to take out the floors in 2 of the rooms all the way down to the dirt, literally. So its been a chore but very rewarding to see the progress made too. Loved this video. Gives me hope of what's to come. Your house is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
I get what I want and he's ok with it ....YUPPPPPP married 45 years in June and its worked for us :) glenda ALSO so happy you are helping family - family first then on to helping others :)
That is really awesome I wish my brothers would help me like this me and my husband are renting when the housing market crash of 2007 we lost everything we are disabled and in our late 60s my sister in law is a realtor they can afford it they have no mercy it really sad I'm happy that you are helping your sister God bless you and your family
I am a little confused. Did you purchase as investment but sister will live in it? Or did she buy it and you’re helping? Can you clarify? Thank you. Love your channel!
My parents still have handles like that in their kitchen 😅 They built their house in the 80s. And in the middle of the handle on the white part has flowers lol
Those handles are circa 1994! I had identical ones in my house when we built it🤦🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️ changed them out to black ! Changed door knobs to glass with black hardware! Oh no! Don’t paint those beautiful wood cabinets!😕 love the black handles😉 Thanks for Sharing!
Those cabinet pulls are the standard package for new builds even now, lol. If you want anything different, you're looking at paying around $5 -20 per pull plus labor cost (think $40 an hour for someone to use a screw driver). Most people just live with it, because they're functional, and aren't going to add several thousand to your final mortgage price.
So glad your sister is moving in. I could tell you horror stories of my experience renting a home.It was someone my husband worked with the things they did when after 3 months of not paying rent. And we got them out. It was a nightmare . This a wonderful thing your doing.❤️❤️

I love your sister, Christine! She and her family are blessed to have a sister and family that is so generous and talented to be able to fix up the house that she will call a home. 🥰
Love that it’s a family affair, and the kids are learning theses trades will come in handy later in life . 💗💗
I love that these projects are done for the purpose of function and practicality, not just to keep up with design trends!
I know I am such a weirdo but I love '80s & '90s home vibes. If I found a 1992 time capsule house, I wouldn't change a thing 😂. They just feel so homey and nice 🥰lol
Christine, while you were in the kitchen, I thought you were at home! The kitchen setup is just like yours! Nice house.
I thought the same, it looks like her house! Lol
Thanks so much for giving your sister such a wonderful hand up. 💕 Thanks for taking her out of the crazy rental market. As a single mum, I know how much this means to her. 🥰
Love that she's getting her house , plus both your families get to have the memories of working together
❤️❤️❤️ Christine - you are such a blessing for your sister and her family. Teary eyed seeing the love in your family.
I’ve been a long-time subscriber & I love when your sister is in your videos! So exciting for her & her kids to move into such a big beautiful house!! Love these types of videos from you.
How wonderful you were able to help your sister and her kids! What a gift for your whole family!♥️🙏🏻
I'm so happy for her. You Christine are such a blessing to your sister and for sharing your life with us. You truly show a wonderful kindness and beautiful heart to all of us! May God immensely bless you!!! Enjoy! The home is so beautiful too!
Just loved all the projects for this house. Your sister Lauren is so sweet! Such a wonderful and loving family you all are.
Love this!!! You guys working together!!
PS your sister’s arms!!!!! GOALS!! Share the goods! Workout routine!
Congratulations on the new house I hope you sister and her family have many years of happiness there.
The house looks AMAZING--and I love it's a whole family project. And Lauren, can I just say your arms are phenomenal! I feel like you put the rest of the internet to shame. :) I hope you and your kiddos find years of joy together in your new home.
Congratulations to both of you. Such a blessing to have your family so close to you now.
I wish I had a crew like yours working on my house. Things would actually get done! Her kitchen reminds me of yours, the way the appliances are laid out. I love your color choices.
That kitchen looks like yours, pre-new counter top. The basement looks great!
I have always admired Christine's fitness...then there is your sister! Bang Bang Gun show! Lol I like the family chipping in. Great job guys!
I love that you guys are so close! Great job on the house!!
Congratulations to everyone !!!!!
Congrats on the new house! It's great that your sister will have more space. You are so kind and generous to help her.
I’d love to see pics of you and your siblings as well as Dave, as kids!
Wow! What an amazing result. Outstanding vision, planning and teamwork!

Yes, this is the same house!
I’m so happy for your sister!!! What a beautiful blessing. If you know - you know

I think that the dark marble will match the handles on the cabinets, for the worktop something like the design in the grey/ darker grey marbled tile.
Such a fun video! 🥰 Love it Christine! 💙 So happy your sister now has everything she needs!
Awesome renovation! I enjoyed having it all in one video instead of broken up into multiple episodes.
I love how you have your kids helping.
i moved into a new flat last summer and although it was "completely renovated" according to the contract we had to do a lot of stuff before i was able to move in. we did it all ourselves (we didn´t have to move walls, close doors and put new doors in walls). we did have to build in a complete kitchen though which we did for the first time ourselves. i did it with my sisters and it was such an awesome time. we worked like horses, but it was so much fun. no matter how much hard work it was, the time is SO well spent in my opinion. i almost envy you a bit for all of that ;)
Wishing your sis and her babies all the joy and happiness in this new home.
Terrific video and congratulations on your new investment! BTW: the cedar in that closet is intended to keep clothes moths at bay.
Congrats!! 🎉 I love you and your sister! great content!
What an inspiring video. Great job family! I love the design choices too. Very serene and functional. Lauren - nice to meet you! Love the guns. An additional inspiration.
Congrats to all of you!!
Congrats on the new place ladies, and I adore the color in the daughter's room!
Your own bathroom AND a walk-in closet! Sis, thank God and enjoy it. Congratulations!
What a great house! So excited for Lauren and her family. Think what you did downstairs was right on point. Thanks for sharing
Thank you to all sponsors. Very interesting.
A truly labor of love and a very awesome video.
Fun to see your project. Thanks for taking us along!
Congratulations on your new business house rental. Congrats to your sister. 🏡
You all done good, girl. I personally would NEVER attempt something like that. I’m not creative enough, nor am I experienced enough. It looks great!
Comparing downstairs hallway before widening: 9:26
In progress: 13:57

House is looking amazing, you all did a great job!
The closet within a closet is so awesome. I want that for my future house.
Your sister & her family are fortunate to have you, Dave, and your kids for sweat equity.
How wonderful you are working so closely together! I love it! Congratulations on your new home!
What a beautiful thing for you to help your sister and her family out! ❤️

Yes! I noticed that too 👍
Love the team work. Thank you for sharing. Looks like a beautiful place
Congratulations to your sister! I'm so happy for her and her family. Now she can be comfortable in her home. The changes are amazing. The place looks so good. You all did a fantastic job.
Rogue for president!!! Such a great thing to have such great family ties
LOVE the new hardwood floors!!!!
Wow. House number 3. TH-cam has been good to you. Congratulations. Lots of work but so worth it. I would love to see the yard. Thanks Bev
God bless your family. I hope all goes wonderfully with the new home.

I grew up in a family of five with one full bathroom and I will NEVER go back to sharing 😂 I totally understand that!
Congrats on the new investment venture!
Really nice that you can get the work done and painting pryor to moving in.
If it were my kitchen; I'd remove the curved upper cabinets at the end of the island and put up open shelves. It would open it up more and make a nice focal point. Congrats again!
I have considered that! It would make it feel more open for sure.
The kitchen setup is just like yours!
Love the new house and the blue in the first bedroom is gorgeous!
Your sister is so cute! I also work from home and the kids are constantly breathing into my ear.
Yah! The stone color looks great with the white trim. Everything always takes longer than promised 😜
Lol when you're in the kitchen with the camera pointed at you (9:55 ish?) the layout looks a LOT like your kitchen!
The first new house we built, we were told 3 to 4 months build. Twelve months later we moved in and still had stuff done incorrectly.
Such a great video. And so timely for me to find. My husband and I bought our first rental house to redo back in January and we are still finishing up. However, it's just the two of us working on it so I think we are doing well. We've also had to take out the floors in 2 of the rooms all the way down to the dirt, literally.

Great reno. Congrats! Be well.
Best of Luck in the new endeavor! That house looks like a similar layout to you home!
Hahaha I bet those handles were handed down? HAD to be a freebie. 😂. looks like a fun venture ahead! Your sister seems so fun!
That is being frugal.
Fun video. I like that you took us through the project.
I swear that no matter what the job is, a contractor will say two weeks. It's so frustrating. WOW, the guns on your sister are awesome!!
Hope your sister is very close to you. Great work everyone
I really hope this living/rental arrangement works in your favour Christine.
Looks beautiful!-Awesome job!! What a job that must have been…Congrats to everyone!!!👍👊
amazing job fam!!! so much love in that house for your sister and her family!
Luv the creamy color specially with the teal/slate color accent wall
That is really awesome I wish my brothers would help me like this me and my husband are renting when the housing market crash of 2007 we lost everything we are disabled and in our late 60s my sister in law is a realtor they can afford it they have no mercy it really sad I'm happy that you are helping your sister God bless you and your family
So exciting for you guys! Congrats!
Love the New House Tour 💕
I am a little confused. Did you purchase as investment but sister will live in it? Or did she buy it and you’re helping? Can you clarify? Thank you. Love your channel!
I asked the same thing. I'm a little confused.
I’m also confused lol
Me too, so confused
Me too...
Yup, add me to the confused list.
Passive is a great color (in the right light). We did all the main areas of our last house Passive
My parents still have handles like that in their kitchen 😅 They built their house in the 80s. And in the middle of the handle on the white part has flowers lol
Changing the layout was such an excellent idea 👍😁. Well done 👏👏👏👏
Thanks so much! 😊
Those handles are circa 1994! I had identical ones in my house when we built it🤦🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️ changed them out to black ! Changed door knobs to glass with black hardware! Oh no! Don’t paint those beautiful wood cabinets!😕 love the black handles😉 Thanks for Sharing!
I have the same kitchen hardware and my house was built in ‘93! I’ve lived with it for ten years but it’s time for a change.
Those cabinet pulls are the standard package for new builds even now, lol. If you want anything different, you're looking at paying around $5 -20 per pull plus labor cost (think $40 an hour for someone to use a screw driver). Most people just live with it, because they're functional, and aren't going to add several thousand to your final mortgage price.
You guys made fantastic changes !!! Makes so much sense! I love how ripped your sister xD she is so cool. Your family has great team work skills.
So glad your sister is moving in. I could tell you horror stories of my experience renting a home.It was someone my husband worked with the things they did when after 3 months of not paying rent. And we got them out. It was a nightmare . This a wonderful thing your doing.❤️❤️
Congratulations 🎊
Absolutely beautiful!!
I LOVEEE the new floors in the basement!!! What is that??
Will you be changing out the bedroom floors in the basement to match the new floors? The new ones are beautiful!
