The wall by the bar ,maybe have cody custom frames and do a beautiful display of your wedding pics ,or pic one picture you love of just you 2 and blow it way up...and add maybe 2 smaller ones ,one on each side..or open shelving on that wall would be beautiful..

[@GailChambers]

Cody doesn't let you sit in your fears... great support

[@tobyrorrer3454]

Hated the sound of it until you started putting it on. It looks great. Breakfast looks good too. You guys are awesome ❤

[@terrymiller3120]

My wife is an interior designer. She says put shelves above the bar instead of cabinets. You achieve functionality and maintain a beautiful transitional feature between kitchen and the living room.

[@Forest_Actual]

Good idea!

[@debbieb.8708]

You want the eggs standing up with pointy end down, when water glossing. Also you can take a dry rag and whip the dirty ones.

[@angelsspirit335]

I am a retired Artistic contractor we used sheet rock Mudd with one tube of caulk pet gallon of Sheetrock mud for durability .we also used the Sheetrock mudding knife in one hand like a 12 inch knife and used it as shield as we stamped whatever medium onto the wall. I have over 25000 photos of my old 1990s work in million dollar homes in Tn if you want some ideas ...great job enjoying seeing you kids have fun being creative. I'm.Doc....

[@joanwallace28]

Seeetie I think you do an amazing job at you’re texturing and explaining things. I admire you both for always being willing to try new things. In the end you’ll be so proud because you did it yourself. That little machine has nothing over you girl❤️❤️❤️

[@susanhirtzel8410]

Loved catching a glimpse of your little UT Longhorn ornament! Hook ‘em! 😊

[@e.bravojr.4340]

You can put a 2-inch masking tape on those cabinets around the edges before you stomp and all you have to do when you're through is pull the tape off wait till it's completely dry and run some fine paper sandpaper over it just to knock out all the Peaks

[@ProudAmericanPhil]

You were saying that you were unsure of what you wanted to do behind the Fireplace I personally think some kind of stone, not necessarily the length of the wall, just maybe three or four foot wide with the fireplace being in the center. I personally think that would look good with shiplap on either side of it

[@kathyanderson1509]

Summer love the textured walls, Cody breakfast looked yummy 😋

[@FransWallenberg-ji1zg]

Great job you do summer. It’s look fantastic ❤❤

[@wadeprior5203]

Good morning how are you guys doing today hope you guys have a great morning I like what you doing keep up the good work it's a little different but take it easy

[@beachlife9419]

Nice work 👍👍👍👍 on the drywall

[@louisarichardson8392]

Great job on the walls

[@donnabrennan2031]

looking very nice and cozy. hard work paying off.

[@richardtitcomb5894]

Hi there I’m a new subscriber from The Outer Banks of North Carolina! I thoroughly enjoy your channel. Keep up the excellent work.

[@BobBohner4851]

Looks fantastic and so affordable too

[@davidcharles3131]

I can’t understand why you do not have a 100,000 subs. You guys are innovative, hard working and deal with things in a real life. Have you ever tried to pickle eggs? Use the same procedure you would for pickled beets. I’ll bet you could use a freeze dryer. Keep up the good works.

[@N8Dogg1002]

Only thing I might suggest is starting waterglassing a lil earlier. Your only about 5 hrs from me and ours have already slowed down. We start Oct 1 but I guess it depends on how many eggs you eat. Hope it helps and as always great job guys.

[@patriciafuchs5970]

Texturing is so cool! It adds so much interest. One wall at a time! Like what you’ve got going with eggs, waste not, want not!!

[@CantContainUs]

I agree. I hope it really adds some character to the house!

[@pattiecanders1378]

I wanted to share some helpful advice that I learned regarding your egg shells. I found that if you bake them in the oven it will kill any bacteria like salmonella. Then grind them it also cuts down on the awful smell .

[@lucyl2770]

Summer, I LOVE the texture that you’re doing on the wall! You said something about not knowing what you were doing, but since you did on your other house, then you are an expert! Don’t let the nasty crabby people make you doubt yourself. Do things the you and Cody like - the people that don’t like it can just eat rocks! Love the videos!

[@flynnster]

I think it will look marvellous ❤️ the channel

[@keciadaniels6539]

Eggshells in the compost in the winter will break down by the summer for nutrients as well

[@williamellis6679]

My family had a commercial egg farm. You should wash eggs with warm soap and water before using them to prevent ecoli contamination. Rinse them with clean water and then let air dry.

[@janetmcclellen733]

Do the shiplap on the outside walls I love it and it is also more insulation. I heat with wood stove also

[@BethS55]

Summer, the texture looks professional. Very Nice❤

[@KristineS73]

I absolutely LOVE the textured wall. Really enjoy seeing the fur babies, I need more of that 😂Thanks Cody and Summer for sharing with us🫶🎄🎁

[@loucinci3922]

Decorations look so nice. Good job. Merry Christmas

[@dawnmuringer9286]

Awesome job ,the texture is gonna look amazing!...with yous having the open concept living/ kitchen combo ,i wouldnt break it up with a green painted wall...if youd like a wall as a focal point i would say the fireplace wall.maybe a combination of shiplap and flat stone tiles. ..or shiplap ,knottypine boards and old barn galvanized steel behind the stove...i love semi gloss eggshell color its not bright white and its not beigey...but no doubt what you and cody decide it will be beautiful..

[@RodeWerk-Rw]

So for your eggshell grinding machine use a permanent marker, fingernail polish. . .to mark a + or - to indicate on/off. When I was a child we used a centrifuge to separate cream from milk and the switch didn't have markings so I was afraid to plug it in, I used a scribe to mark an X to identify on. Thank you for the video.

[@Karen-Arizona]

I like the texture that you doing-it looks so good 👍❤

[@loucinci3922]

Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing

[@sfd1351]

I can't believe what a difference the flooring has made to the whole look!!

[@patriciamontague6035]

Looks great.😀

[@TrekkingwithTaz]

I have to say I like the look of the brushed wall!

[@jrsf222]

Another look-creative by you‼️ Always a pleasure to watch the two of you. For me your best point of interest is the pond…then the joy of animals and gardening inbetween‼️⭐️

[@charleshutchings9355]

You did a great job on the texturing. Swivel pad on a pole will knock down the peaks with little effort. Thanks for the video!

[@MrRickieblue]

Having to repair a textured ceiling myself, I went to a local hardware and ran into a contractor and he said to thin the mud slightly using white latex paint. He said when it dried it would be so much harder with the paint in it. As it comes out of the bucket it can be pretty tough to apply and usually will need thinning slightly.

[@ClassyCurleyRadio_1]

Awesome job❤

[@juanitafoster9834]

Looks good.

[@leann4925]

When you filmed closer to the wall it looked great but do understand why you want to take off the tops. Gosh you sure don't have a shortage of eggs. Those are some good girls. Missed seeing the lovely ducks. Before watching y'all I had no interest in ducks but now I do. Hi! Cody. 🎄🍂🦆🦆👍🥰

[@susanwesterfield6953]

Merry Christmas! 🎄

[@KathleenLaurence-u9e]

I've never seen texture applied to a wall like that before. That's pretty cool. As far as the color and framing out the windows, that sounds beautiful. You can never go wrong with shiplap. I'm very excited for you both.

[@matthewblanscet1059]

The texture brushes are supposed to be soaked in water so the bristles don’t break

[@RevGerryRM]

They make blue tape that you can put on the cabinets to keep the mud off of them.

[@laurafisher6531]

I’ve known a lot of couples in my time but I honestly think you guys are the most beautifully matched couple I’ve ever seen, I am rooting for you two so hard! Good luck you guys from little old Yorkshire ❤❤

[@anitahendershot3754]

I watched Simple Living Alaska just throw their egg shells on the ground for the chickens so I tried it. They goble them right up.

[@carriemarshall6635]

Water glassing can go longer then 18 months. I have seen other Homestead have some for up to 3 years with no problems

[@rossbrown1748]

Summer, the wall looks really good

[@CantContainUs]

Thank you Ross!

[@rocktruckrob]

My parents had this done in our old house but only on the ceiling… excellent job Summer , you guys are killing it … awesome vids…much love from Ontario Canada ❤️❤️❤️❤️…ps you should sell your eggs # side hustle 🤣🤣

[@ShakinaRiley-v1j]

Oh my your chickens are bringing in a lot of eggs so nice❤👍

[@cindyhaulk4741]

You can freeze your eggs . My sister does . She bought deep ice cube trays . She has a friend who lives off grid in upper Michigan who told her to freeze them

[@pinkmosquito22]

I think you came up with a mighty fine design, Summer! The super light green will be a nice pop of color to contrast from the floors and ceiling while still being light enough to not make the room appear smaller! Also, I'm a huge shiplap lover so you won't get any negative feedback from me on that! 😅 Personally, I would add floating shelves over the peninsula instead of a cabinet. It'll help keep the open feel. 🤗

[@kelleyhowe2518]

I love the ribbons on your cabinets. I might try that!

[@jrsf222]

Another use for eggs shells after broken is freeze them to add for making bone broth‼️

[@ronaldenix8589]

That really looks good!!!

[@maryantosz6195]

Cool walls!! ❤️ Great work!!

[@deeflorindo781]

I love the kitchen cabinets decor. I cook my shells 5 mins before crushing so they don't get the taste of raw egg shells. ( So I was told). I water glassed 6 doz eggs last year and was told to place eggs point side down? I'm using those eggs now for them for scrambled eggs with cayenne pepper for the cold winter days.

[@loraineellzey1951]

Looks awesome so far

[@joqlady888]

God bless your husband...what a wimperer .....oh my goodness..........yes indeed that was real real scary when you turned that thing on...smh..bless you too lil chickster.

[@CantContainUs]

He is very blessed indeed🤪

[@petrasembroiderycreations3410]

Hello Summer, I see that you are using the grain mill I’ve sent you in July. I love those mills because you can mill your own flour! The more you use it the less it will scare you. I’m glad you are putting it to some use.@Can’t Contain Us

[@CantContainUs]

Petra, We sure have gotten great use of it! Thank you so much again, it’s been quite an efficient tool in the kitchen. Still takes me some getting use to 🤣 it’s super powerful!

[@JustaHillbilly-eq9ov]

Using a sponge with paint the exact same way looks really good my aunt always does her walls like that and just changes colors every few years I have stomped a few ceilings with the oval crows foot but never the walls

[@ld5714]

I like your decortions Summer, look very warm and cozy in the house. Nice job on the texturing of the walls. Looking forward to seeing how it all turns out. Have a great week ahead you two. Larry, Central Valley, Ca.

[@paperchaser9565]

Never heard of waterglassing eggs!

[@paperchaser9565]

How's the puppies liking the backyard?

[@christophermcnaughton8076]

Everyone is commenting on the walls so no need for me to say they are looking great. I wanted to say excellent on the eggshells. A lot of people will give them back to the girls in pieces and that is never a good idea. They will eat them and get a taste for eggshell, then they go after there own eggs. We do the exact same thing, we use our ninja to make them into dust. Something to consider, I store ours in mason jars; I hate using plastic and the jars can be cleaned vs throwing plastic a way.

[@mikepanek736]

I’m not a fan of texture walls and ceilings. I know I’m not the only one who feels that way. Years ago it was popular but not so much anymore. All that really matters is that you guys like it.

[@richardjanssens2657]

el piso quedo hermoso, mis felicitaciones desde Venezuela

[@CantContainUs]

Thank you!

[@skydemon-u6i]

I have never heard of the term waterglass eggs, seems interesting, something worth looking into. as always thank you for all of the hard work both of you.

[@N8Dogg1002]

Easy and cheap. They'll keep for a year easy. We use a 5 gallon bucket with a lid. We start saving in October and have plenty of eggs when molting season comes.

[@norcoredneck]

I had wall with a heavy texture like that. I hated them. They collect dust and continually look dirty. Hope it’s better for you.

[@larrysowada9905]

Do you dry the egg shells before you grind them? What i mean by drying is put them in the oven at 350° for 15 to 20 minutes

[@waderue]

well, I am a guy so I like flat walls. I am not really in all wall texters all that now having wood on the wall yes that's a good thing I just hang stuff on a wall it's easier for me lol

[@csal7577]

You know that it is good to feed your chicken their eggs right? Research it, manu farmers do that. They take a few eggs and throw them on the ground, the shall cracks and the chickens eat them. They love it.

[@kathygarcia903]

They make paint rollers that mack the egg shell texture and it's easy to use

[@keepthepeacesharethelove7022]

Dear Summer, what did you put in the water for the eggs and in which ratio, and how do you call such eggs (water eggs?)?

[@janetmcclellen733]

You dont have to grind up the egg shells toss them in everyday its a lot less work and the chickens love them

[@texasjustice1861]

Just my opinion but if your wanting to go for the “ wood on the wall “ look, just have Cody mill some of y’all wood outside. Now y’all will have to mill it down to 1/2 “ then plain it BUT it will look SO COOL. And really you don’t have to do a whole wall, you could do portions of the wall, just to give it some detail. Just a thought.

[@Bankfishingohio]

Did you add water to the mud an i always use topping mud for texture an the hairs always come off. I would of rolled the mud on with a roller then texture but looks good

[@Bankfishingohio]

And by rolling the mud on his any imperfections in the drywall finish

[@jomac2913]

Great job on the wall texture Summer!!!

[@judyfrancislarson7730]

😮

[@larrykluckoutdoors8227]

👍👍👍

[@annburgess80]

What is the name of the wall texture brush you are using? Looks something I would like to try.

[@CantContainUs]

It's called a crow's foot brush, they're kinda hard to find!

[@joanbarber5384]

Think your suppose to place the pointed end of the egg down I guess if you can’t.

[@shindees7676]

I would recommend neither options. Go one colour in the living room don't break it up. Ye are trying to make it look large but by having a green wall it will constrict it making it smaller ( believe me I speak from experience and mine is wallpaper & green). If you like that colour then introduce it through cushions, lamps, candles, pictures......it's taken me years to learn that.

[@MILife45]

❤

[@bettyharper2214]

🎄☃️👍♥️

[@connyscheringa6106]

✌❤❤🤗

[@evilborg]

I'll never do a textured wall again... makes cleaning the worse and everything sticks like cat/dog hair and normal dust.

[@joeclark9042]

OK Google everybody let me know does Corey need a garage or what does talk summer in the letting him build him a nice garage so he can keep all the tools out of the rain and dirt and stuff

[@theaweggen6805]

Dont you have a farmers market were you can sel youre eggs

[@anitahendershot3754]

Didn’t have good luck water glassing. Eggs cracked and polluted the water. Eggs older than 6-8 months were questionable. Just was not pleased with the outcomes.

[@robinmccubbins8139]

I’m concerned about your tv being over the wood stove. It’s too hot there for it when you have a fire going. Heat is electronics worst enemy next to water.

[@deemartinez836]

Ask lydia she did the same thing in their house.

[@CantContainUs]

We talked a bit about it the other day.

[@robertalvarez5741]

Make some money sell some eggs

[@karenkeller5866]

Less b roll please

[@shindees7676]

Sorry why did you ask for our opinion a& to put it in the comments when ye already know what ye are doing, that is disingenuous. Ask us what you plan to do in the future please!

[@CantContainUs]

I asked y’all to tell me yalls thoughts and opinions on what we were imagining… disingenuous.. that’s a bit harsh I feel like. I’m sorry we upset you.

[@curthale8605]

Good Job on the walls .

[@johnkirby6547]

Nice job Summer, I think it looks amazing.

[@andreamalik2961]

It's interesting how different views are across the world. Here in the UK we're kind of conditioned to really dislike textured walls & ceilings. Its called 'artex' here & its common to pay a plasterer to skim coat it to get it back to smooth or get it removed altogether (a horrible job, ive done it lol). We seem to really prefer a smooth plaster coat here. In the USA & Canada though, ive noticed its really common & popular to add texture to your walls. Funny how different people & trends are x
