Rooms are good size and enough space to walk around. Wish you good luck

[@JoshRazauskas]

Dang 7 months time flies! This is gonna be fun! 🙌🏻

[@sapphiresquire]

My parents painted their kitchen black, but they had a mix-in that was this sparkly silver and it ended up looking amazing. Can't wait to see how it turns out for you!

[@amsoiladam]

In my opinion, I recommend that you keep the ceiling fan in the living room. Air circulation is extremely important with tall vaulted ceilings like yours. Especially in the winter is your heating system is pumping out heat. It all rises to the top of that ceiling where you can’t feel it. You can walk into that room and it will feel colder than the other rooms. however you turn the fan on even low just so that pulls that air down from the top and the cooler up from the bottom it will evenly heat and cool the room better.

[@amweeks1002]

I agree with this 1000%. My previous home had vaulted ceilings in the living room and we did not have a ceiling fan. Our AC ran nonstop trying to cool the room off, and in return, the rest of the house was freezing. I highly recommend as a fellow Alabama resident who hates how hot/humid the summers are here.

[@themassarofamily]

Love the house and your ideas for renovation! Can't wait to see the finished product

[@ShinySarah44]

That built in is utterly stunning; I know it's not your vibe but as a crafter, it speaks to my soul. lol.

[@xiomanaxoxoxo3212]

So happy for you , you are a rockstar girl. good for you. Love the kitchen idea you have its going to look amazing.

[@InteriorDesignHub]

Oooo I've been early for the last 3! So excited to see where everything is at :)

[@OnTheSamePageTogether]

A black basement is going to be AMAZING

[@kristindanan7407]

“To be or not to be”…you always forget to say “to be” and it makes me laugh. It must be a family thing because I’ve never heard anyone else ever do it. The house looks great. Love the inspiration pics for the kitchen. Thanks for the update!!

[@BarefootFarm]

Yes, it annoys me every time and it’s all I can focus on 😂

[@CoupleMoore]

She doesn’t forget to say it, she chooses not to say it because that’s normal to her. People in Chicago talk that way. There is some weird aversion to the verb “to be” there. Maybe the same thing is commonplace in Cathrin’s childhood town in upstate NY. (At least I think that’s where she was raised.)

[@catwilson6208]

Your home is coming along nicely. Each time I watch your videos I feel inspired to keep going so that one day I can live the life I love with my fa,ily.

[@katherinemclee]

Yaaaaas was waiting up for the new video!

[@Bunnikins_And_Friends]

Hey hun, you should consider using glass panes for your upper stair rail, that way it won't take away from your beautiful living dining area.

[@CathrinManning]

the railing is already done. no going back

[@ugochukwuharbor5519]

Cathrin, loving the updates.

[@thejcollectivv8994]

Girl you are so patient. All those hiccups would have me in a state, your mindset power is inspiring.

[@JessicaLaShawn]

Yay its Manning time!

[@HallyuHagdom]

I'm doing my bedroom mostly black and one side of my hallway. Black can look stunning.

[@justicelives1694]

Did u move in while renovations were being done or how long into the process did u move in ?

[@annabellreads]

It cracks me up how hard some people want to assert their opinions on style stuff. Is it really that tough to say "not my taste, but I'm glad you like it"? If you wanted to paint the whole dang living room matte black and then outline the beams in neon like it's a futuristic cyberpunk dystopia, it's your house and your sweat equity. Good gravy. (though now that I think about it... neon??? KIDDING).

[@LilCraftyNook]

Well she did say she wanted to go with the vibe of the house as well. I’d LOVE a 70s home, but I was a teenager then! 😝

[@ColdBrewBarbie]

I'm renovating 2/3rd's of my house right now, supposed to be done the 2nd week of Jan. but its been so stressful and so expensive doing this. I commend you for living and doing this massive project! So excited to see it done!

[@scsfulsarahr598]

Airplane propellers for your ceiling fan. I grew up with wood heat you'd appreciate the movement of air

[@LauraStepney]

Agreed, also grew up with wood heat and you definitely want a fan if there's a fireplace.

[@thisisjessicaokah]

7 months? It's alot of Time and money that goes into renovations, looking forward to the finished look

[@xavthomas]

I'm assuming the infinitive instead of the gerund is a regional thing... where is that from?

[@MeghanMoss]

Wowow I LOVE the inspo photos for the kitchen! You're doing a fab job contractor cathrin. I wish I had your design skills when I was reno'ing my home

[@withlovebyamy]

19:14 get a narrow kitchen pantry cabinet for your master bath! We did it in our last reno!

[@cerrismatic]

I refreshed my KZbin hoping a new video of yours would be posted, and it was perfect timing!

[@TheAssez]

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Hi Cathrin happy vlogmas day and happy December and happy winter season and happy holidays and happy Monday night and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter

[@OnlyOrla]

I can't believe you have done one a day... Crazy about if editing! I'm loving it

[@LauraStepney]

I just have to say that I'm so frickin' excited for your black basement! Yess!! Don't listen to the haters. You do you. If you regret it, oh well, at least now you know :)

[@BobbyForsee]

This house is gorgeous

[@JustClaireGrace]

The wood that will on the stairs up from the basement reminds me of Sarahs Day's house. It looks so good and I'm sure your lovely black basement will look wonderful too.

[@NicolesGardenNS]

I’ve been so excited for this one!!! It’s looking really amazing, you should be very proud of all your hard work 🎉🎉

[@BonnieJoan]

“This needs cleaning.” “This needs painting.” Not “This needs cleaned.” “This needs painted.” Just a very friendly grammar highlight. 😊

[@fiperfeit]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@naturalcreations40]

Love how it is turning out. Can’t wait to see it finished and how it turns out with your stamp on it

[@misfitacademy]

I love that you're keeping the brick fireplace in the living room

[@stephaniecombs8438]

Looking so so good! Can't wait to see how it progresses!

[@MikeLauper]

Hi Fancy! :)

[@RuthiesVlogWorld]

To whoever is reading this keep going, you're doing fine! No matter how slow your progress, each new week is filled with tiny steps forward. Be proud of yourself you got this.

[@maggiewillis6477]

🙏🏻

[@BarefootFarm]

I love your videos, I just don’t understand why you don’t say “to be” when describing things to be done 😂 it gets on my nerves so bad! 🤣

[@NaturallyNoni]

So excited for this video!

[@edknox6102]

Today is my birthday kk

[@bryanhpris]

Hey this is off topic l have nikon Z30 but the recording shows its disabled *meaning it has a cancel line on it on the screen*can you please help me out on how to enable it

[@oishamiragzamova6182]

Do you live in the rural area or in central part of the city?. Did you do anything on your own?

[@zuyadragon]

GIVE US THE DESIGN VIDEO PLEASE

[@irisschram]

😍 So cool to see next to one another!!

[@inspirebeinspired4388]

Don’t waste your money refinishing your shower. Use Rustoleum tub & tile paint. I used it in my bathroom 3 years ago & it still looks brand new. $40 ish on Amazon. You’ll love it. 💕

[@CathrinManning]

ohhhhh thank you!! I haven't even given it any thought yet but was hoping I could find a was to do it myself! I'll look into that!

[@welcometotheweavers]

@cathrin just make sure you sand really well and you have no leaking water. Mine peeled after 6 months because we had a faucet leak start while it was curing. I wasn’t home.

[@inspirebeinspired4388]

@@welcometotheweavers Mine looks great. I let it sit for 4 days before introducing water. Maybe that’s the difference. I’m getting ready to do a second bathroom now. Fingers crossed 💕

[@risingvibes11]

Yay!!🙂❤️✨🏠🔨🐕🎄

[@Kanesha]

Primary bedroom*

[@thatgirlthatgrows]

The house is looking amazing!! The black basement is going to look so good! Get yourself a projector, it was one of the best thing we ever did!

[@josealfonsosilvalatorre1826]

Great video

[@hurelten]

ah yes three seconds in: *super good video*

[@KlarehsArt]

That secret door is going to be so fun! Perhaps let the firefighters know you have it there juuuuust in case!

[@ashtonsplan]

I am so proud of you girl! Out here crushing it! Keep it up!

[@wellwithmelissa]

Please get rid of that wall paper in the first spare room please 😊

[@CathrinManning]

uhhh no. I put that up and love it.

[@wellwithmelissa]

@@CathrinManning love your videos ❤️

[@sarineturhede]

You’ve come so far! It looks great and I’m not mad that there is still quite a bit left - love your house makeover content Cathrin. 🤍

[@fiperfeit]

Love your voice , sallon at the lake 😏
