For the TV area add a TV mount that can extend past the opening that way it can hold a variety of sizes of flat screens and they can hide all the cords etc behind.
I hope she sees this!
I was thinking the same. I might change the trim on the opening so it’s flush. So much better to have the deep space with a flex arm!
I was thinking the same thing!! All the electrical work can be installed in the back in that large area so no cords exposed!! It will be so great!!
I came to make the same comment.
That’s what we had to do for ours. Worked out well, and so easy !
If anyone ever deserved financial success of affording a rental property, it’s you and your husband. Thanks for offering your guidance to everyone. Really encouraging!
100%
Yes! Totally agree!😃👍
I started watching your videos this last summer to just get ideas to help on how to budget and spend less on groceries. As time went on watching your videos I found myself watching them not to not just learn new tips and ticks but to just unwind. I don’t normally comment on videos but just wanted to say, I am always so happy to see all the new adventures and goals you set out for yourself and your family! I know it’s not easy to put yourself out there in the online world and just wanted to say I think you are doing an amazing job and thank you!
Thank you for the kind words!
Totally agree 👍! You said everything that I was thinking!! Congratulations 🙂. Looking forward to hearing more about this venture
If you plan on turning it into to an Airbnb you might want to consider keeping the ceiling fans - lots of guests might appreciate you having to as it may be a comfort of home that they’re used to. Also saves you having to buy portable fans!
And the white noise the fans provide…use mine for that more than anything else!
A lil piece of advice, if you are going to go the route of Air bnb please speak with all the neighbors about it and make sure they are on board with it. My mom had a neighbor that decided to move out but didn't want to sell the house so listed it on Air bnb. It was absolutely miserable for all the neighbors having nonstop different people crashing at the house all the time. They had to deal with people who did wild partying, random sketchy people wandering the neighborhood and trespassing on other peoples properties, animals that ran around out of control. It was a nightmare to have all the random, revolving house guests at this house in the middle of the neighborhood.
And make sure it doesn't go against neighborhood policies.
I was SO shocked! I kept thinking, “But her kitchen is so much bigger.” Looks like a good investment. I’ll be following the re-do closely.
I did think maybe downsizing for college costs
Hi She's good they get so much money if they get a million watching love it
@@LisaofHopewell they aren't living there
@@laurentaylor7303 Thanks I did watch lol
I actually don’t like double sinks in the master. I prefer the counter space. I don’t need to brush my teeth at the same time as my husband. 😁
My mother is using Agreeable Gray in her new house that she just bought, and it is BEAUTIFUL. It literally does go with ALMOST everything.
Congratulations! Cannot wait to see what y’all do to update, especially the colors. I liked the gray and could live with the green! Wish you well on this journey in your life
How exciting!!! The walk in closets are awesome for families with small kids. Having a toddler cot and/or a pack-n-play and changing table in the master closet is so helpful!!!
Yesssss! You and your family deserve this ! So proud 🥲🌸🙏🏾 You’re reaping all you have sown in your humble beginnings yet joyful spirit
Congrats!!! Sincerely, so happy for you and your family.
I'm glad you held out for this one. This looks so much nicer than the other two your toured awhile ago. And paint is an easy enough fix. Congratulations!
I’m so excited for you!! It’s such a nice house too!! The outside front landscaping looks so cute from the picture your showed! Painting is easy and will make the big changes that can make your house really beautiful!
Have fun!!!
Super excited for you all!! You met another goal of purchasing a home to make extra income from! Other than the "lovely" painted walls 🤣🤣 it looks like a beautiful home. Congrats on another goal met!👏👏💓
Congratulations on your new house (rental property)!! Hard work and discipline paying off. GOD bless you and your family 🙏❤
Congratulations 🎊🍾🎉🎈 so happy for your family ! Love the built in desk but a twin bed is a great idea!
How exciting! Can’t wait to see the house painted and furnished. It’s going to be great!
Congratulations on the new house!! I'm looking forward to see what reno's you're going to do as we are going to be doing some ourselves & it'll be great to see what you do
Can’t wait to see your updates! Thanks for taking us on this journey with you! Remember heads in beds for short term rentals gets you noticed, so consider bunk beds in the rooms where you can.
Congratulations on the new house! I love watching renovations and/or home improvements. The closets are really nice and roomy and so are the rooms. Does it have a backyard? I’m so excited to see what you do with the place.
Awesome-thrilled you finally found an investment place. You will do great and can’t wait to see your new adventures.
I think it’s a lovely home, with just repainting needed, it looks in very good shape!
Loved the red and purple. I’d cover all the green! But I agree a nice uniform gray makes a room look wonderful - I say as I look around my gray living room of my new house.
I liked the whole place. It's a basic and simple tract family home with curb appeal. Great investment. Looking forward to the new paint and fixtures.
Congratulations ! So happy for you and your family on your new rental home.
Christine and Dave, so happy for you!! Congratulations and best wishes for much success.
Thank you so much!
If you are looking for good deals on furniture, look for estate sales in your area. I got a wine fridge for 35 bucks, seen couches for 100 bucks, etc. It's popular in seasons where garage sales are not possible.
Also, call your lowes and home depot to ask when they do additional markdowns. Last year I got two large vanity lights and two pendant lights for 50 bucks total. Original price was over 300 bucks.
Home depot is having a sale now .
My son has a short term rental make sure your mattresses have bed bug covers ,very important. We have the plastics bags with mattress covers. Always have 2 of everything for bedrooms. Have fun they are a lot of work, but fun. 🥰
OMG. When I saw the walls I winced. My brother and sister in law bought a house right before Christmas, the walls and ceilings were a Dijon mustard color, so we spent the week after Christmas painting everything to white (Ceilings) and "mocha light" (Walls, light tan) While everyone was sick too, but we managed no problem.
Congrats on your purchase and put those kids to work! (It's a great learning experience!)
This is so exciting! Can’t wait to see how it all goes!
The paint colors are deadly!!! There's no method to the madness--just dense blocks of heavy color. My house used to be all linen white, which I hated. Room by room, I've repainted everything with the warm colors I love. Only the kitchen (which I avoid) is a little crazy. Two orange walls, one red, and one chalkboard teal. Mexican style and very cheerful. All the colors go well together. The previous owners of your new place committed a crime against good taste!
Congratulations on your purchase! Your plans sound exciting. Vet your tenants well!
Thank you! Will do!
Your kind heart shines through. I love your sense of humor, and most especially your relationship with your kiddos. I see far too many TH-camrs show how to organize, how to declutter, how to anything... but never show how to make unbelievable memories with their family. Thanks for keeping it real!
Thank you so much!
@@FrugalFitMom is texas cheaper than Florida I'm thinking of moving to Texas once I get things straightened out down here
@@ernestinemaloy8680 I've heard the property taxes in TX are insane.
Awesome! I can't wait to see what you so with the new place! Congrats!
Congrats on the house!! It’s got wonderful potential! What I love most is you rocking the winter jacket with flip flops 😁❤️😂 you are so fun!❤️
Good idea! Hoping your renters are good quality people! Congratulations! I would definately repaint.
I'm looking for a house to buy. I'm so tempted to put a barf bucket next to my chair while perusing Zillow. Some people's ideas of color combos just really twist my tummybox all around. Like the ones in your new house! It looks like a realky nice house. Would have liked to have seen the backyard but there's time for that. The changes you're making should go pretty quick. Can't wait to see those and see how you furish it.
I loved the built in desk and shelves, but I agree that a twin bed/another bedroom would make your home more appealing to renters than a home office would. Congratulations on your purchase, the home is lovely. I’ll be following along to see the updates. Thank you so much for sharing with us!
you look so happy with your new location.
Congrats!! So excited for you! 🎉🎉
Can't wait to see all the little changes - paint colors, etc.
Congratulations on your goal. I hope it helps with the paying off of the mortgage goal for the year. Congratulations again
Wonderful news FFM and family!
My favorite part of the video is the Mother Daughter Duo, so cute together!
Congratulations! I figured you had finally got an investment property. My favorite is the red, green, yellow paint combination. Nothing beats that for style points 👌
You need to get Kilz to sponsor this video. Lots of painting going on. Can't wait to see it transformed.
Good for you finding a house! My husband and I buy houses and rent them out and yes the market is crazy!! Looks great, I like all your plans though I would replace the countertops personally lol but yes they are functional. Can’t wait to want her more on your other channel!
I was glad to hear you guys weren't moving there, cause I was like the kitchen you have now looks wayyy better.
Nice home!! I love that you’re wearing a winter coat and flip flops!! Works for me!!!
Awesome. It looks great. Congrats. I hope your renters treat it well.
My mom had that giant alcove for a tube TV above her fireplace, also at an angle like that and also framed out. She had a contractor remove the framing and simply boarded up over the alcove (I say “simply” - I’m sure materials and know how was involved!). The contractor left a small “cubby” so that she could still put a DVD player, cable box, etc. and she mounted her TV on the wall above the fireplace. It was done in an afternoon, and my mom is frugal so it could not have been super expensive! It looks great and really updates the room.
What 😮!!!!!! Congratulations!!! May god continue to bless you and your family ❤️👏
Our first house that we bought about 16 years ago had two bedrooms, one of which had four different very deep colors, one on each wall. Red, navy, teal, and eggplant. It was a small bedroom and made me feel like I was standing inside a dice from a kids' board game! We painted it before we moved in. The same house had peanut butter and strawberry jelly colored walls in the living room. We painted over the peanut butter color and left the red. At least wall colors are somewhat easy to change! The rest of the house looks like it's in decent shape and can wait for upgrades! Congratulations, that's very exciting!
This is amazing!!! I totally agree with you real estate is a great investment!! ♥️🎉🎉 super congratulations! The house is so wonderful!!!
Thank you!
So happy for you both.
My son and daughter in law run two Air b&b. They love it
How cool is it that The Wads and Frugal Fit Mom are talking. Two of my favorite channels. You guys should do a collaboration on cooking.
@@FrugalFitMom I nearly fell over laughing when you threw a Kimberly Wisk reference in the other day!
I'll enjoy following your remodel journey. I liked the purple paint.
So excited for you! We are hoping to sell and buy this year as well. Fingers crossed!
All of your videos bring me soooo much joy. I have gone back and have watched SO many old videos and I love them just as much. Everyday you post a new video I know it’s going to be a good day. You make me smile and laugh and enjoy life so much more. Thank you 😊♥️
What a cute little house! I'm glad you finally found the investment property you've been looking for for a while. Can't wait to see how you fix it up.
Before I got my very first apartment I spent months planning out how I wanted to decorate my future space. I collected furniture from garage sales, Big Lots, people gifted me things, and I DIY'd things. Moving day came and I carefully painted my living room red and my kitchen area yellow. However, when I was done I realized that as the rooms flow together it looked like ketchup and mustard so then I spent the next couple of days repainting things a completely different color. 😂
I really liked the purple in the master bedroom of your new house, but I would agree with you that the sconces in all of the other paint colors need to go.
Exciting news! Congratulations 🎉
For the tv area just box that in a little and have a small niche in the back for the outlets and to hide a router and fire tv box etc. then you can mount a tv mount to your boxed in area.
I was super confused as well! But yay! This helps cook up my dreams of owning a home in the future!
I can't believe you found something so awesome right now! I wanna know all the details 😅 That house looks incredible already.
The red, green in the kitchen with the yellow closet🤪 So excited to see y'all update your rental property.
Very cute house! Glad you are changing colors.
Congratulations! So excited for you
Ahhh the red and purple and tan and OMG! Hahaha 😝 so much fun! Happy for you guys and this new journey. Can’t wait to see more!
I love the kitchen. I feel like you are being transported to a new place every time you take a turn. 🤣🤪🤣
Congratulations on the purchase.
Congrats!! Great paint choice---I love "Agreeable Gray" by Sherwin Williams. We have it in our kitchen, living room, bedroom and master bath. Truly "agreeable" in all lights and settings!
This is amazing! I would love to do this in the future and do it as a short term renters option like you have. This keeps you from having renters who don’t pay or issues with the pandemic with people refusing to pay and it’s short term this is the best option ever
why am I not surprised???...I would be surprised if you didn't get a new home, thanks for sharing the home tour, congratulations!!!
Oh my, the colors remind of when I first purchased my townhome. Previous owner was big into accent walls. The kitchen was like a maroon red and was the first to get painted. The master bedroom and bath both were a golden yellow with an orange accent wall. The two other bedrooms shared a bathroom that was painted light blue and light purple. Why you ask - because one bedroom was painted light purple with a deep, dark purple accent wall and the other bedroom was painted light blue with a navy accent wall. I have pictures because I knew no one would believe me now that my entire house is painted varnished ivory. I like neutral so the color almost kept me from buying the house. Can’t wait to follow along on your journey 😊
About that fireplace cubby - it's probably just an insert. As an alternative to pulling it out (although it would be pretty easy to), you can always put a swing arm flat screen TV mount in there, as long as it's got a decent support wall. You can also just shelve it to make it more functional, and put the TV somewhere else - the heat that comes off those fireplace units will degrade any electronics mounted above them.
If you mostly close that upper fireplace space. ( Maybe leave area for speaker/cable box etc.) But remove moulding above only... You could hang a big TV still over a fireplace, with reinforcement. They also make VERY lightweight, thin ( like a picture) TVs too!
Hailey freaking over the yellow was AWESOME and made my day! Congrats!
Congratulations sunshine. 🎉🎊💕
Oh yeah. The sconces for sure! Lol! That looks like an early 2000's color-block scheme. I kinda like the idea behind it. I actually like the purple, but NOT with the avocado! The kitchen cracks me up! I bet your renters are relieved! I was surprised, but expected something like this sometime because I knew you were looking.
On tv- we put piece of wood horizontally and tv mounted on that..then a black piece of black cloth ..looked really good. Great flip house!!!
My favorite part was that you found a place you liked and bought it! ♥️
That is a uniquely designed home. It's pretty cool!
Eggplant and avocado! We're painting our family room, entry and halls Agreeable Grey. Beautiful choice.
all the best with the new house....
Congrats on the house! Paint is such an easy fix! Good for you, going to check out your 2nd channel! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much!
I think having some plants above the fireplace would look nice! Also, I’m happy that you were able to reach your goal of buying a rental property. I just wish fewer people in my area would do that. I live in a college town and have been trying to buy my first home for three years, but everything has been skyrocketing in price and is being snapped up with cash purchases, then quickly relisted as rentals with outrageous costs. It’s exhausting.
Sounds familiar! Are you in Idaho?
@@Skyesoceaneyes Nope. WV.
@@xkacie I guess similar things are happening all across the country because I, too live in a college town with skyrocketing home prices and lots of rentals, but this is Idaho, like Christine. Rentals are just too lucrative for those with the means to purchase them to pass up. By the way, my parents both went to a small college in West Virginia- Davis and Elkins. Ever heard of it? 😊
@@Skyesoceaneyes Yep! Davis & Elkins is a few hours from me!
Same here in middle Georgia. Hard on those of us watching these videos for tips to save money amd buy responsibly and those same people are the ones buying all the clearance items up that the really don't need and flipping houses and cars. Can be frustrating.
I was so surprised and like others said I was thinking "why?? " Got me. Good for you!
Enjoy your new home...Stay blessed always.
I love your shirt😂. I’m constantly correcting my children’s grammar and written comments as well as TH-cam influencers.
Oh favorite by far was the super low ceiling fan/pull cords 😜. This is so fun and exciting
I've got to go with the purple bulkhead as my favorite. I often wonder why people do this...but at the same time, whoever lived there before, clearly made it their own. Good for them...and good for you seeing past that! :) Congratulations!
Good paint jobs. Crazy colors!
Oh wow how FUN is that!!! 😍 will definitely follow on your other channel !! Can’t wait to see what you do! Congratulations 🎉🥳 🏡
Congrats. Happy you aren't moving, love your kitchen, you would miss it.
For the fireplace you could extend the plug in’s then shiplap over the hole. You could hang art or a smaller tv
I am so excited you are in the place in the your life where you can afford to do this! Congratulations!!!
Thank you so much!!
Awesome! Congratulations! I love nooks, unique rooms in houses and I think the "Harry Potter" under the stairs room was my favorite.
Congratulations! How exciting- rental market is crazy hot 🤪
Congratulations and best of luck!!!!!
I can't wait to come visit my friends up by you and use your airbnb! So fun!
