your house screams creativity, I love how you’ve personalized the space. It feels so cozy and unique
Stop 🛑 gaslighting her it’s tacky and overwhelming 🚩🚩🚩👀👀😬😬🧐🧐🤪🤪🫢💁🏽♀️💁🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
I have a clawfoot tub and shower combo, and I HIGHLY recommend it! Not only is it classy looking, but it's really convenient. Especially if you want children later in life, or if you need to bathe your dogs. I sit on a little footstool and having the tub raised about a foot makes baths way easier with my little kids!! Also, having the option for a bath if you're feeling sick, or stressed, or sore and just need a soak is really great!
OMG 😲 I want to see tbat!
I also have a claw foot tub with a shower. It’s a little small with the curtain, but honestly I don’t have the issues with the curtain that seem to permeate the claw foot tub online community 🤣🤣
I would kill for a soaked tub. It’s also great for guests. Most people don’t have the option at home, so it’s a great treat when I stay with someone who has a full tub
I have one too and I also highly recommend! It’s so cozy and convenient to have a big tub to soak in!! And there are plenty of creative solutions online to the curtain problem. I personally got one of those big wraparound curtains, cut a strip out where it needs to go around the faucet, and sewed velcro on the strips so I can close it up again to prevent leaks.
I definitely hate shower curtains in general so being surrounded by shower curtains is my nightmare - I vote go with the tub and put a shower in a different bathroom. I take bubble baths weekly and having a bath in a gorgeous bathroom is just perfection.
You brave girl! Buying that house was incredibly brave and you have done such a great job
this is really nice
Your home has so much charm. I went with a friend to her aunts house when I was a girl. It looked so ordinary from the sidewalk, but when you stepped inside it had been done in pretty colors with beautiful furnishings perfectly suited to each spot and gorgeous window treatments and was truly a pleasure to just look around at while visiting. Your home has the same feel. We’ll done.
Would love a video on floors! A video describing what you learned, how you did them, resources you found, tips/tricks. And trifecta style: refinishing old floors/painting floors/installing new floors
Would be amazing to have such a useful flooring resource video in one place (+ in your style it would be extra awesome) (++ it would technically be a free project cause it would mostly be footage you already have and not buying new things 🥳)
I just love how your renovation is progressing. Your sense of aesthetic is phenomenal.
Random but if you had a used bookstore I could imagine how comfortable, warm, and pleasant it would be. With your style, kind heart and goal getter it would be everyone’s favorite bookshop. I can see your burst of colors, wide section of books will be such a cool place to go (and spend all our money )
it's so wild that it has been two years already!! the original house tour video coming out feels like yesterday.
that's what i just thought! wow
right ?! haha
More people need to give character to old houses rather than buying the modern ones that look the same from one end of the street to another. Love your project so far
i think in the spooky room you should do a laundry room, since all the rooms are upstairs it be so confortable :)
I can't believe it's been 2 years; it feels like we were recently just getting the news that you bought a house! I love your house and how colorful it is; it feels really happy. I also love your cat and can't wait for more renovation videos!
Cleaning the spooky room is a major change! Don’t make less of it, because it’s so obvious a difference! Much less spooky!
Your bedroom style went from “ecstatic kiddie bright colors” to “upscale grown up traditional style”. I love what you have done so far! Bright colors go well with traditional decor, the old English decorators do it all the time in their homes.
Wow, that little piece of hallway with the dark wallpaper is absolutely gorgeous! You’re making your house into a place where you also treasure the walk from room to room instead of just having to go through the “boring in-between rooms” to get to something nice!
Adding to that - did you ever visit a big house/hotel as a child where you would run around to explore it all, and every time you would discover something new? I feel like small people visiting your house will think it is an adventure. ✨
I found your channel exactly one year ago because I saw the first year house update. I can’t believe it has been already another year. Looking forward to more house renovations! ❤
Nothing feels better than waking up to an 18 MIN Ariel video - you just *know* today's gonna be a good day 🥰 Congrats on all your progress!!! 🥳
The roof is such a big thing. Although it's "only" one thing it's a HUUUUGE one and it being done must be such a relief.
I can't wait to see what you're gonna do in 2023!
I feel like the spooky room could end up being a really beautiful personal library.
you moved into this house about the same time I got into uni. the first year was so bad and seeing your house change, reminded me of myself over the last few years as well. following you thus far shows me that change takes time I appreciate this because it had me reflect on how far I got too. I love your videos and I wish you a good day!.
U am so glad you got your roof done! It’s so important and definitely a big project. I also honestly love every room that has new flooring in it. The new floors really bring the room together.
If you or anyone in your home is a dedicated bath enthusiast, do the clawfoot. HOWEVER, if you think most people will still opt for the shower, just do a walk-in shower. I was so excited when I realized I had a bathtub in my place but in 3 years I have NEVER used the bath-tub. I always opt for a shower so I wish I had a walk-in shower rather than a bathtub I had to climb into. I had back and knee problems though so climbing into a tub may be more daunting for me than other people...
love these yearly wrap-ups! I think it's be a fun video to see you do all those small things you've been wanting to do (ie. upgrade a light fixture, switch out a piece of furniture in your brother's room, fix those lights in your closet, maybe do some paint touch ups, etc.) It would be good motivation to get all those small things done!
Love it. Can't shake off the thought I would have switched the armchair in the dining room with the one in the bedroom.
rewatching in preparation for the 3 year update!!! i can’t wait!!!
I was just thinking about you yesterday: "I can;t wait for the next update on her renovations!" Love what you're doing! The dining room is GORGEOUS and so dreamy. I'm sure it shapes how you eat! Can't wait to see what you do with the kitchen.
I loved seeing the clips of your house 1 year ago vs now. You've made massive progress! It looks amazing, I especially love your stairway and upstairs hallway. I'm SO excited to see any future progress with your kitchen and the spooky room!
At first, I wasn't crazy about your color pallet. I realized I don't live in your home, and you have to make it joyous for you. But it's really grown on me over the last year. Now I think it's beautiful.
If you don't want the shower curtain, I recently saw someone had a claw foot tub set inside an oversized shower. Walls surrounding the tub with enough gap to clean. Still get in the tub to shower, but splashes would go to the shower walls, and it would drain onto the floor and down the shower drain.
The progress you’ve made is so good! You can really see the love in all that you’ve done.
It's gorgeous! You made so much progress, truly.
I just realized that you never talk about where your parents stay--is there an area of the house that more or less doesn't exist for the purposes of this channel that belongs to them?
Can't wait to see what 2023 brings!
yes, actually, their bedroom is right by the reading nook, opposite to the door into her own bedroom (new green wallpaper) where she set the camera to film from an angle. she pointed out that that’s their bedroom back in the one year update* :)
So she lives there with her brother and parents? But it's her house?
@@carolgee2367 yep! Except her brother, I think he only visits.
I myself am not a maximalist however I can appreciate the style. It is nice to see your progress.
I love your idea to put the chair/ottoman in your dining room! It makes a lot of sense to provide a comfy chair for someone who would like to leave the classic "sit up straight" DR chairs and visit in the much more comfy chair and ottoman.
will you re do your parents room as well? I also would love to see garden/land work when you start to do more on the property because the property seems really special!
Your house, and specifically the vibrancy and the colours around are really inspiring for me for my spaces. I finally framed a couple of art pieces and hung them in my current rental and even just those two make me feel so good, a little step up from university rentals, even if it's just that corner of wall
The sound of rain on metal is will be so soothing.
The roof being done was a big one. It's kinda important to not have water leaks on your nicely re-done rooms. I loved seeing the smaller, but more detailed spaces you did this year. Like the little hallway, it might seem like a quick and easy project, but it took a lot of time and thought!
YES! I am so stinking excited to see that kitchen get renovated!!
We have absolutely nothing in common when it comes to interior design style but I get a kick from watching you build your perfect and authentic little nest 💛 I wish you many many years of happiness in your beautiful home! Can’t wait to see what you do with it next!
it feels like you bought this old house only a few months ago, i remember watching the first video when you were all excited about it! now its been 2 weeks, time truly flies!
Assuming you use your sewing machine quite exuberantly, perhaps the area viewed at the end of this video would be well used for that purpose. Then "the spooky" room would be well suited for storage for sewing supplies. Just a thought.
your videos give me sitting by the fireplace at dawn eating a bowl of oatmeal energy it’s so comforting
Make sure you have a really good fan/ventilation system if you are putting wallpaper in a bathroom.
Great job! Each room has its own beautifully unique vibe and personality. A simple design technique when using lots of colors, is to take a dominant color from a room and incorporate it into adjacent rooms, that way, when walking from room to room, there is a little bit of the dominant color visible in the next room and so on. Hope that makes sense. Paint can be used, and also textiles, or other decorative items which match the dominant color in the previous space.
For instance: the bright pumpkin color minimally added in the room adjacent, creates a cohesive visual flow. It’s all based on what we see as we walk from one space to another.
Looking forward to the kitchen! ❤
I'm so happy you now have a good roof 😊🧡
I really wish I could share this with my grandma, she would have loved to see this update.
I want to drive down and chill with you and talk books and house, I live in New-Brunswick and we've been doing some renos for 7 years now and it's so fun to make a "home" just the best. You seem like such a kind soul and be around it would be so fun!! Did you cover the green couch for any particular reason? the haunted room/future bedroom, are you thinking of making a giant library with it or keeping it in your office?
A power wash of the house and concrete would look like you've done a massive change. You've made your house your own, beautiful.
I'm SORRY?! I swear I was just watching your first 'what I've done in a year' just like 2 or 3 months ago. It's already been ANOTHER year since then?? Lawd help me.
Your house is incredible and I get SO excited whenever I see you post a video about your renos! LOOOVE!!! Thank you for sharing with us!
I’m fully team separate shower and tub. I used to have an apartment with a 2-in-1 set up and it was so annoying. Because the 2-in-1 made both experiences less enjoyable.
I could not agree more. I am in love with our stand in "normal" shower that is spacious and has a "glas door" and would trade that anytime for a "bathtub+shower with shower curtains" that we had in our old flat. Even when i am on holidays in hotels where there is often a bathtub with shower curtains i am looking forward to getting back home to our shower. Having a nice shower is such an underrated thing in a living space ;) loved the update btw and love, love, love following along your incredible journey. You have such amazing taste and your way slowly renovating this house by learning so many skills along the way its truly remarkable. :) Happy 2023 and looking forward to all the new videos this year !
Bathtub conundrum- are you a shower or bath mainly person? Go for what is your main thing. Or do what I did and ve two bathrooms one with huge bathtub that takes forever to fill (but oh so worth it) and a little electric shower. I split existing bathroom into two. Measurements were done to cm and mm to ensure it works. It works very well. Obviously it ll depend on your floor plan too. I still ve shower with a bathtub BTW but connected to main water source. That way if my boiler ever breaks I ll still ve hot shower or vice versa. Well done on the house reno. You may feel like not as much progress was done as you d like but you did do very well. Especially with roof replacement. That alone would rule out any projects for me. Love your decorating style and once I get a bigger house (hopefully in next few months) I m stealing a few ideas off you.
to think that this is your forever home, meaning you've got your whole life to "finish" it, and you've already done so much in 2022! it's very impressive. if anything, i think you can relax when thinking about all the things you meant to get done in 2022 but didn't get around to do it -- simply because one day you'll look back on it all and think 'hm, why was i in such a haste to get it done?'.
Absolutely LOVE what you did in the upstairs hallway... and reading nook ... and the vestibule ... and ... you should be very proud of the progress you've made! Thank you for the update - I very much enjoy watching the house coming along. :-)
No matter how long these renovations take, you will look back on these years with pride and such a sense of accomplishment.
You DO need to be mentally ready for the kitchen remodel because it is a very disruptive process (especially when you're living amongst the mess)
I would love a video of doing little miscellaneous projects! For example staining the stair posts, properly screwing in the light in the pre-bathroom room, etc. Feels like it could be super satisfying to watch 😊
at this moment we have a bathtub + shower included and it's horrendous. We have it taken out next month and we go for just one luxurious shouwer, and no tub.
fingers crossed your electricity work goes smoothly in your house. In the house of Madeleine Olivia they had to drill several holes all over the rooms to discover a problem.
love the wallpaper and salmon!!!
Ariel, I thought of you the other day when I ordered the Purrfect Portal French doors pet door from Amazon. I'm installing in my bedroom wall ( meant for a door) for my kitties. It reminded me of your built in room vignette in the dining room but shaped like your beautiful arched window. It looks like a little hobbit/ mouse house door that would be so fun to see in your house. Maybe a pet friendly diy for your kitty?? Anyway, love love love the progress and eager to see what's next!😻
9:15 omg the way she waddles away with her little haply tail so cute 😊😊
i personally wouldn't recommend a clawfoot tub. they're absolutely gorgeous, but the water does not stay warm and gets cold insanely fast
Such a stunning house! The books overflowing from every nook and cranny in your office is exactly my vibe!
Books are everywhere.....goals.
I'd love a tour of the spooky room now that it's cleaned up! I would love that turned into a delightful bedroom/large lounge area or maybe a space for a fuller bathroom? IDK I just want the light from the windows to be spread throughout the room!
I love every update from your house. It's so full of charm and personality. Everytime you post, I am hoping for an update on the spooky room haha.
I just can’t believe it’s been two years. I started watching you the video of you moving in. Wow!!!
When I see the big open space of the spooky room I envision a cozy library. I can't wait to see what you turn it in to.
I'm having such an awesome time following your vlog! The improvements youve done are gorgeous. Thanks for sharing your journey ❤
I can’t wait for your upcoming videos! They are just my favorites! Great work Ariel and thank you for your content, you have no idea how it makes me happy.
Wow, I loved how you went all out in the dining room and painted the floor the first time, but the new wood flooring looks amazing.
THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF 2023 🎉
You had me at books.
And when I saw your kitty-cat.
Love your wall-papered alcove.
I was hyping so bad for the bridge, when you said you havent shown us yet what the most hugest update was. I love you so much Ariel, you made me see things in a different way and definitely helped me love living. Your joy, your energy, your excitement amazes me and i want to enjoy life like you do. Thank you for sharing a part of your journey with us. I am so grateful to have you.
you are so stinking cute. your house is so stinking cute. i love everything about your channel!!! thank you for sharing your home adventure with us!
Your home is already aesthetically stunning and I'm so excited to see future renovations!😍
*craniate* thanks for the new word! you are great! love the hoouse x
Things are looking great! Progress takes time and money. Getting the new roof allows you to not worry about leaks ruining your hard work.
Claw foot tubs with shower attached are a nightmare if you are mobility challenged. As someone with only 1 leg to stand on when in the shower, I want a wall to touch (usually with a hip) for balance. Especially when my eyes are closed rinsing the soap out of my hair. Soft shower curtain surrounds are scary
You made great progress. You should be very proud of how far you've come. And that roof is a big deal. Congratulations. I'm excited to see what you do next.
late addition to the shower question: iam renting and I have a bath and shower combo with a foldable door thing and I wish I had a shower curtain again.
you can wash em in the washer replace em so fourth I really miss having one.
what we have has all the books and crannies you trying to clean but always get dirty again and so fourth
Genuinely CANNOT wait for 2023’s projects and videos :)
You forgot about your hallway downstairs, I love it!
I stayed in an older house that had the claw foot tub and shower rod thing in a room with a big window and slanted ceiling. It was so beautiful!!
I cannot wait for the kitchen renovation! No matter how long it takes, I cannot wait!!
This video just came up on my home page. And then you started talking about the roof and I was like, well that’s relatable! In December I bought a hundred year old home that I knew needed a roof. Every time you brought it up I felt less alone ❤️ subscribed now!
I love your house!! Your videos give me so much hope and inspiration for my future space!
A word on the kitchen reno - to save money, I really recommend demolishing the walls you want removed yourself. You have to be careful about a couple things (electrical and being neat around the seams of the ceiling, etc.), but it's actually really easy to do. A few videos from TH-cam university and you'll be ready to go lol. Especially having seen you work on the house and all the skills you've acquired, I'm confident you can demo the walls yourself!
You should be so proud of yourself for how much you've gotten done and how truly beautiful your home is. I can't wait to see what 2023 brings you and your home.
The first thing I noticed in the kitchen was the Kalas salt on the table. Girl, you know what fine cooking is!🏖
I enjoyed this her sense of humor she said I am going to hold my microphone not like other TH-camrs🤣❤️ congratulations to her 👏🏾
It's so beautiful! I'm obsessed with all the color choices you made for the walls!
I can’t believe you’ve lived in your house for 2 years now 🥺
You're sense of style makes your reno-videos the most interessting too follow!
you truly are a renovation goddess 💖
i cannot express how incredibly excited i was to see that you're back. the house looks amazing and i hope you had a restful break from work. can't wait to see the progress this year.
everything is beautiful especially your kitty cat :)
I'm really enjoying this renovation. Because it's not just about buying things. Its hands on, practical and livable. And everything you've done is amazing. But, I'm wondering what you will do when it's all done. Garden? That would be lovely
The middle part really brings out your beauty
Great work!!! I think it makes better sense to live in a space a while, to fully understand how you want it to function and how you want it to look.
Thank you - I love your house! Will you ever show your parents room?
No! I want to respect their privacy. One day when they move out I'll be renovating it into an office for my boyfriend though! So it'll make a fun project!
I can’t wait for outdoor Ariel. She’s gonna thrive ! :) love always following the house journey! You’ve done awesome things and inspired loads of people!
I love these updates; it makes me want to do a video touring my house just for my own personal enjoyment.
Ariel, please consider who watches your videos. Do you really think if you show too much outside you're going to get bombarded by a bunch of book nerds showing up on your doorstep? 😂 I mean, we adore you and all, but not in a stalkery kind of way. (I'm mostly teasing, I don't blame you for being extra cautious).
I love the things you have done so far. I will admit, most of your decorating ideas seemed way too extreme at first, but then they worked! The Emma inspired room, for example - I was cringing my way through those color choices - but now you have the most beautiful and inviting dining room! You have inspired me to step out of my comfort zone and use more color, rather than the boring old neutrals I have always been drawn too. I hope 2023 brings us many more house reno videos, I love watching! Health, happiness, and best wishes to you and your family! ❤️
