Your husband is so sweet to partner with you in design and decorating! My husband won't help me with anything like that.

[@rmpurcell58]

keep trying , he might surprise you, with even the mildest interest , it may grow even

[@livinglife8333]

I want to thank you for the beautiful bed crown idea. I have been avoiding redoing the upstairs spare room, just couldn’t think of ideas. I watched this video and loved it, I knew I wanted the room to be a butter yellow so I found a deep wall shelf then ordered the table clothes on your video. It turned out beautifully! 😊🙏

[@livinglife8333]

I wanted to thank you for this video, I literally ordered the tablecloths and the curtains to make a shelf crown in our upstairs spare room. I painted the room a warm dark butter color of yellow. I would love to send you a picture when I’m done.

[@doreenjones1505]

Hi Elizabeth! I was so amazed at your gel stain shelf I am inspired to change my orangey wood! thank you

[@debrapritts7978]

I’ve used a tension rod inside a shelf like that before to hang window treatments. I hung the shelf over a window and still had room for plate display above😇. Love the shelf you found! What a great find👍🏻

[@keithbuchanan8588]

@debrapritts7978...even attaching a small rod inside the shelf would have worked & the fabric wouldn't look so flat...right?

[@debrapritts7978]

Yes👍🏻 That’s exactly what I was trying to explain, it works perfectly. 😇

[@fadedglory1045]

That scripture at the end is one of my favorites.

[@rmpurcell58]

1:54 its perfect ! you did amazing!

[@irenetovar7756]

I love your home. So cozy, warm, and inviting. I'm quite a bit older than you, but I too love having things passed down from my mother, family and mixing those things with some modern and just what attracts me. Thank you for the tour of your home.

[@patcutler2823]

It looks beautiful your husband is so patient can’t wait till it’s done from canada

[@trudysenglishvictorianhome3244]

Love, Love the way you are decorating with The English/French Style! 💙💙💙💙

[@oldmaplehome]

Hi Trudy, it’s my favorite ❤️

[@wideawake6501]

I come from a large family n being in a room with all my sisters was great fun. Lovely ideas. God bless

[@sarabrunsvold2461]

Your children’s room is so perfect!! Love the colors of the furniture and the curtains!!! Can’t wait to see the finished bedroom. Love the fabric headboard. Very old European. Yet another by verse.

[@gayemarianesfox2405]

What a transformation! I did a fancy bed crown thing once and we utilized bungee cords as curtain rods! It worked and I could take the drapes off and wash them..

[@DianaJewell-jf9ep]

Amazing what a little gel stain can do for wood !

[@marymcghee3023]

That shelf was a great find and a real bargain. You made the shelf look so pretty. The curtains hung under the shelf is beautiful.

[@cynthiamuffoletto7480]

I love how you put those patterns together!!

[@oldmaplehome]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@marilynvelez8147]

The kids room turned out so nice and your bedroom canopy looks really good too, you had a vision and you went for it.

[@tammyleviner3070]

The kids room turned out so cute. And love your bedding, very pretty. That shelf is amazing! We've used the tape for hanging this many times, works like a charm😊 Absolutey love how the shelf turned out over your bed, very pretty! Thanks for sharing and for the scripture❤

[@lucyroberts2800]

Love the children’s beds so cute

[@oldmaplehome]

Thank you! ☺️

[@yolandagofigure]

One more thing.. you could also use a tension rod to place instead the mantel over your bed... And God bless you my sister 🙏♥️🇨🇦

[@donnaplumridge9769]

Loved the refreshing updates of the bedrooms! I was fortunate enough to inherit quite a few things from my great grandmother and grandparents. The unfortunate thing was I had to sell the dining room set, when I moved to England. I asked my sister if she wanted anything, but it wasn’t her style. I did manage to bring quite a few things over like her China, photos, a few Knick knacks and Christmas ornaments. Oh and a beautiful table cloth, that I still use and managed to keep it stain free!

[@lesliejackson8188]

*ABSOLUTELY lovely❣️🤍💙*

[@FaithyandOtis..Massachusetts]

Beautiful❤ I absolutely love your home.. the best thing about it; it is God centered🙏 have a blessed evening

[@nancymiller4678]

The transformations are absolutely beautiful! The tape hack for where the screws go on the wall blew my mind! I dragged my husband in to watch! 😂

[@oldmaplehome]

Oh ha ha!! That hack has been a game changer for me 😅 Glad you enjoyed! 🥰

[@michellebee7528]

I did too! So genius!!

[@anitabarker3125]

❤the decor you and husband did in the bedrooms. Those drapes in the crown over bed is stunning. Great work.😊

[@kerrydutton9019]

I love your home it is absolutely gorgeous full of character ❤🎉

[@susiewitt1016]

Wow! The shelf turned out fantastic!

[@oldmaplehome]

Hi Susie, thank you! I knew when I saw it, it would make a fantastic bed crown 😍

[@maryohare4141]

I also created a similar bed crown curtain.But, I used a large roll of sewing velcro tape. The rough velcro had adhesive back that adhered nicely to wood shelf. Then, I hand- sewed the fuzzy side of velcro tape to the back of my drapery tops.That way, you could take down curtains and wash them.

[@beckywatts502]

LOVE what you did with the shelf. You are very talented!

[@kathyjones9500]

I love both rooms. The canopy in the guestroom turned out so pretty❤❤

[@oldmaplehome]

I need to get in there and finish all that up soon.

[@Cinderella1125]

I really enjoy looking at makeovers. It's so satisfying to see the end results.

[@Blessedgirl1955]

I loved those makeovers, very nice hampers but that shelf with the material attached is so creative and just beautiful! I had never thought of using tablecloths for curtains but indeed it will save a fortune! You guys have such a beautiful home!!

[@lydialangfordjoiner765]

Thanks for sharing pretty ideas.

[@garnetdudding936]

Love love!!! Love those patterns together ❤

[@sonyamowery2324]

Absolutely beautiful!!❤

[@Nausome_nana]

Every looks beautiful. I love the blue.❤️

[@oldmaplehome]

Thank you!! 💙💙💙

[@jodyholland5912]

Beautiful ❤

[@ladyhamiltonscottage1029]

Love your videos

[@mariareyesrosado425]

Nice job ❤

[@irenetovar7756]

I love the shelf and the way you hung the curtains and tablecloths. Just gorgeous 💙🩵

[@Marysservant]

She stapled the curtains. How will she wash them?

[@sherryhamilton6374]

Restore is amazing👍

[@sharonjackson9994]

Love the idea of tablecloths. I live in a 1917 home and buying fabric for windows that are long is challenging and pricey.

[@cozyatcocos]

Hi Elizabeth! New subscriber here! I love your home! My home is 118 years old. My windows look a lot like yours. Thank you for the idea on how to hang my curtains because I have been wrecking my brain on how to do it. I didn’t want to cover up the wood completely, but I guess there’s really no way around it right😂 I have stained glass in a couple windows. I didn’t want to cover up I haven’t seen your whole house. Do you have stained glass windows? If so, I’d like to see how you decorated that window.❤ thanks for sharing your channel

[@user-wi3mq1jw6h]

Yellow my fav not today..😢 yes brown much better! Everything is beautiful!! So nice of your mom! U goo mom!!!😊

[@katemoore6249]

The truth, at last!!! Praise God!!!!!!!!

[@patgay2150]

So lovely, creative that is you!! You have a good man!! The children's beds are so cute, wonderful home.❤😊

[@PamWarwick]

You did a great job on both bedrooms. I love the kids beds. You are a talented lady.

[@oldmaplehome]

Thank you so much!

[@617883]

Good price on the mantel piece. The color looks much nicer😊

[@vivienmcnaul109]

I see a lovely shade of blue on wall make your cream lamps pop😂

[@julielozano1852]

Can we have a Q&A with you and Cameron?

[@melodytwitchell4898]

Beautiful bedrooms Beautiful verse end of video. Bless u

[@sandrabotard7687]

So beautiful! I can't wait for the reveal! Thank you for the beautiful scripture. And that music was awesome!

[@vickinoeske1154]

Everything that you did is wonderful, warm, and so pretty.😊❤

[@oldmaplehome]

Oh thank you Vicki!!

[@kylieharrison3782]

I would have hung a curtain rail inside the crown. That way I could take down the fabric as needed for washing and/or changing out for seasonal decore.

[@oldmaplehome]

I did. 😃

[@eversosophi9653]

I think you should try it with the french blue tablecloths. I really think it might work with your curtains.

[@lisaa8437]

Loved it all!!

[@carmen_ellul]

Beautiful home! You are very talented ❤

[@beataszablinska3211]

Pięknie ❤

[@my4seasonshome]

Such gorgeous transformations, Elizabeth ✨️✨️✨️ TFS !

[@oldmaplehome]

Hi Ceci, thank you!! So glad you enjoyed 🥰

[@Frook52]

[@oldmaplehome]

Thank you!!

[@karenhanley3912]

[@oldmaplehome]

[@theoldsonso]

Looks so good!!! L❤️VE it!!! Great job😊

[@oldmaplehome]

Thank you 😋

[@barbarashelton6709]

Looks very nice!!!

[@oldmaplehome]

Thank you Barbara! 🤗

[@roseofsharin]

I'm loving these makeovers! That fabric is gorgeous! So, the tablecloth you got the first time that did not work, is it linked? It would be perfect for me but I want you to get the profit from it. Can you help?

[@lydzphens]

❤❤❤

[@jackiewilson2917]

Everything looks amazing! Thanks for the tip, I have some orangey looking wood I’d like to darken ☺️

[@oldmaplehome]

Thank you!! I’ve used that method a few times, it’s always worked great 😃

[@Melody-285]

@jackiewilson I had those 90’s oak cabinets in my home & just didn’t want to replace them all - I cleaned them really well with TSP (a degreaser) and then I used a Minwax stain with the urethane included in a color called Mission Oak - I put it on & wiped it, just like it was the first coat of stain, then did it again for the look I wanted - I used Satin finish, not glossy - since the urethane was already in it, I didn’t have to do anything else - I also used some black interior latex paint and lightly brushed it in crevices and edges - sort of like a glaze - did this about 10 years ago & they’re still great - really updated the look - they’re still not the cabinets I would choose if I were starting from scratch but we can’t all always do that !

[@julielozano1852]

Looks fantastic, one day at a time you will get things exactly how you want them ❤️ do you watch Chateau Diaries? You will love that I think 😁

[@tonietchison1730]

Excellent. Can you tell me where you got your off white bed comforter?

[@user-ii6vh6np4l]

❤

[@peggysiler4626]

Pretty but how do wash the curtains behind the bed. Nice job

[@user-ye2rj3dt2g]

[@oldmaplehome]

Welcome!!

[@tinadenike2357]

Where did you get the blue & white quilt on you're bed?? Its folded at the foot of bed.

[@Dollybella23]

😮

[@jeannettegoozey7451]

👀❤️👀❤️👀

[@CC12398]

Beautiful, reminds me of French country style

[@annahanu1808]

No dropcloth on a carpet while staining?

[@oldmaplehome]

Nope, I was on my porch and don’t make a mess 👍

[@Jean-sv6kk]

Hi👋 ❤

[@annm6941]

🥰👍✅

[@valeriehoward6088]

Like wise, why put the furniture into place then stain the skirting boards, why not clear the room completely before beginning. Seems a bit haphazard to me.

[@sharonwest1853]

Not my business but just wondering why the kids are cramped into one room when you have a three story home?

[@maren807]

Her children might enjoy sharing a room 😊. They aren't teenagers yet 😅.

[@melodyfisher1512]

To be on the same level maybe?

[@betsywillis7266]

Big room. Hardly cramped.

[@FiggysMeemaw]

In old English homes they used to have a nursery with up to three or four children’s beds in one room, obviously when the children became older they moved to their own bedrooms but only if you had the room, for the poor it was the only choice.

[@sharonjackson9994]

Some kids are scared of being alone when younger. Having a sibling there ro talk with or help is good.

[@monicastein9624]

No way

[@signemarkuson1940]

Ex 15:13

[@madelynnrodney4868]

🤤 Promo*SM

[@nancyleininger296]

P⁰😊

[@laurie4275]

I can't believe you're willing to paint and stain over nice blankets and rugs. DROP CLOTHS girlfriend! You're giving me a panic attack! 😆

[@annahanu1808]

PleAe iron those curtains.

[@oldmaplehome]

I will steam them when I’m all done. Don’t worry.

[@Andrea-64]

If you can afford a $2,000 chair maybe leave the goodwill to the people it's meant for 🤨

[@oldmaplehome]

What are you talking about lol?

[@angelabarker2416]

I would never have guessed that was a kids room! There is no character or colour, found it very bland. I am English and live in a victorian house in England and my kids rooms are colourful and cosy! Loving your home though! ❤

[@oldmaplehome]

Thanks 👍

[@chels_992]

Its beautiful but it's too bland for a kids room! There's no toys or kid pictures?? I know that's your style but you should let your kids decorate their rooms.

[@fadedglory1045]

lol stop.

[@fadedglory1045]

Kids today are way too over stimulated by STUFF and colors.

[@user-mi3sd8ty8i]

Love the $50 curtins, unfortunately the end of your video ruined it for me. I will never understand why some people will always somehow try their darnest to push their religion on others even as your video ended. Bummer, I will not be watching anymore of your videos. Good day.
