Tub bather here. Just putting in my 2 cents. I use LESS water and my feet and nails get MICH cleaner. A rinse is good if you’re grossed out. Soaking cleans well!

[@briansutton9685]

You went beyond the typical suggestions to improve a bathroom! This touched on things like sconces and height placement that most designers miss. Take a bow... or maybe a curtsy.

[@katiedougan8848]

I LOVE these types of videos - so helpful! Thanks!!!

[@danitapowell2291]

I have just discovered your station. You are full of valuable information. ❤

[@lindadelaiarro4081]

I am fairly new to your channel and have been doing a bit of binge watching. This is one of my favorites so far. I felt like I was sitting in a design school classroom. Thank you so much for all the wonderful information and ideas. My decor tends to favor antique/traditional. Your channel is perfect, and I enjoy that you add a bit of a feminine touch to many things you do. How lucky are we to have a professional designer offering her expertise!

[@gabriellapettit7655]

My friend and I are watching together and she turned to me and said, “I’ve heard you say almost all of this!” So nice to be validated (as I am no professional). Love your channel,love your advise. Hoping you will one day cover a large, rectangular, unused front room that has three doors, a fireplace, three large floor to ceiling windows, with eleven foot ceilings (did I mention our home was built in 1892?). Everyone just walks through it. This room has had me stumped since day one! Keep up the great channel - love it!

[@SheHoldsDearly]

Ah, yes, the "glorified hallway"! You're certainly not the only one with a room like this! We talk about them often in our Behind the Scenes design class consultations with my members!

When I updated my bathroom, I had the carpenter build an inset medicine cabinet off to the side from t he vanity, then used framed artwork as the door. Practical, but looks beautiful.

[@erikastanger7848]

two years ago we gutted and redid one of our main bathrooms. new ceiling, new walls, new ventilation, moved light switches, tile surround with a niche, new lighting, added a pocket door, paint, and decor. all for $5,000. thank God for my diy'er husband because it could have cost so much more if he hadn't done everything himself!

[@ardicesaugar5475]

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! The previous owners of our house removed the medicine cabinets. UGH! I need to replace them. Also, no other storage to speak of not sure how to fix this.

[@alisonsmith7162]

Hi from Australia Sarah. So wish I could join your behind the scenes group, and the Bible study part sounds lovely. Unfortunately meetups would be in the middle of the night here, and adventures would be impossible. Love it that it's your fave part of your job tho'. All the best with this group.

[@SheHoldsDearly]

Aw, Alison! It would great to have you join if you ever had the chance! We have a new member who just joined from Queensland! It's early morning and one day later for her, but she's been able to join us live a few times! Fun to get to experience teaching this class, and with ladies from all over the world!

[@tamerajacks4508]

I went to a boutique shop in Galena,IL and feel madly in love with the way this old chippy French looking door on barn door rails looked it. It’s stunning! Now do you think the Home Depot barn door everyone has is out or all doors on rails are out. This looked like it could be cool forever.

[@sherryhudson9075]

They are out! A trend not to be revisited

[@nangel270]

Who cares. If you love it, it’s in. Your home should please you.

[@laurenrobertson8829]

I grew up in Sterling/Rock Falls area and loved visiting Galena! 😊💕

[@trinaroe5132]

Barn doors on bathrooms are awful. You can actually see behind the gap most of the time, so besides visual privacy there is also the issue of sounds and odors! Just gross. I don’t mind them dividing a living area from a kitchen or dining room, but not for an area that needs complete visual and sound privacy, so not even for bedrooms.

[@MissDLinx]

Loved this! Especially because I'm redoing my bathroom at my dads, so all of your tips are much appreciated!

[@juliesigmund3836]

Great tips! We updated our large bathroom a few years ago and instead of using the towel bar, I had hubby attach old coat hooks that came out of the old school in the town we are from. they were a bit rusty but we cleaned them up a bit and sealed them to protect the towels and the hooks. they hang vertically on the end of the short wall next to the shower and work perfectly.

[@juliesigmund3836]

Wonderful. We are going to remodel one of our bathrooms next year. We will use these ideas. Thanks for the information.

[@Kristin8275]

Thanks for this! We’re in the middle of a remodeling the upstairs bathroom in our 1922 colonial. I LOVE Jenna Sue’s upstairs cottage bathroom (with the big cathedral mirror and the brick floors). It has a lot of elements that we already have throughout the rest of our house (white, wood, brick, and it’s rustic). Now I’m a little concerned that the brick tiles would be considered too trendy…but we’ll probably still go for it 😂

[@RhondaLorch]

Very timely - thank you!

[@NotTooShabbyPatti]

Very timely. I just bought a house and will be redoing the kitchen and bathroom first. Although the bathroom is a full bath it is tiny and has a baby blue tub, countertop and floor. I guess they thought that would never go out of style!

Thanks for the video! Do you have advice for a small 80s bathroom. They put in a wall to wall tri view mirror so there is no room for sconces on either side of the mirror. The lite bar is right above the medicine cabinet and pretty much up against the soffit, so very little room to play with. Thanks for any help.

We're remodeling both of our bathrooms in our 1948 Cape Cod house. One detail I asked for is a way to plug in an electric toothbrush so it doesn't have to stand on the counter. In one bathroom, the vanity has doors under the sink so an outlet was put on the wall under the sink so the toothbrush can stand on the shelf under the sink. In the other bathroom, which has a pedestal sink, a new medicine cabinet over the toilet has an outlet inside for the toothbrush.

[@rachelheyduck320]

My struggle is how much does the master bath need to coordinate with the master bedroom?

[@trinaroe5132]

I personally don’t like pocket doors either. Most don’t lock well and the hollow wall also transmits sounds readily. If space for a full door is an issue, I’m wondering if solid core bifold width doors could be mounted on regular hinges so the door width is half size that opens in the middle like French doors. With a routed rabbit edge they could even interlock so no sound transmission where they meet. I’m just not sure what type of lock to use but I’m sure French doors have locks that could work. I keep thinking about this because I’m trying to find space to add a first floor powder room and room for a door may be an issue.

[@donnahilber8701]

have you written a book? thanks and I love your work

[@marysogni3]

I live in a condo and the main living area has wood floors but the bedroom has carpeting. I want to put wood flooring in the bedroom as well but have been hesitant/putting off because I cannot find the floors from the rest main living area, I don't want to redo the whole place, but was also concerned about the changing wood line looking bad like you said. Is it ok in this case going in to the bedroom with a door or what would you recommend?

[@crystalassam433]

I always look forward to your videos but there is always a problem with sound going in and out . I watch a lot of KZbin and it only happens when I’m trying to watch yours 😬

[@angelabrown1847]

Just what I needed! Do you think it is essential to have two sinks in master bath if space is limited? Thank you!

Would love to know this as well

Please expand on how to fix them My house is full of these 😩 we just put new flooring in against the old!

[@JLee-pc2vc]

If anyone uses Carrara marble, be careful with your heated hair styling tools. The Carrara I had in my last house, though properly sealed, got an ugly, brown burn stain the first and only time I heated up my flat iron on the counter. Over time, even though I sealed it annually, the marble got other stains and dull spots. In comparison, the honed granite countertops I had in that house were absolutely indestructible and beautiful.

[@amyjared821]

I have Carrara hex tiles on the floor in my shower. I wish I would have listened to the good advice given to me about the potential of Carrara to stain. I love the tile, but it did indeed stain even though it was sealed well.

[@annetteramsey4627]

In the middle of a bathroom remodel. The door thing has me rethinking it. My husband won’t be happy. I wanted scones but it’s not going to happen. I have the light in the ceiling....ugh . What kind of light do you suggest ? My husband didn’t listen to me.. loved the video!!

[@kristenburnup2539]

Very helpful as we are planning our new primary bedroom addition! Any thoughts on brick floors instead of tile for our 95 year old house?

[@allysonh6410]

I LOVE brick floors. I think they're timeless

[@anncollver6865]

I totally disagree with you on unmatched wood floors. My hardwood floors are 70+ yrs old. I had my living room, hallway and master bedroom (at end of hallway) . I had them sanded and refinished as light as possible. I have a second bedroom and a den off the hallway. I left them dark. I love the contrast. I may not be hip but I believe in decorating that pleases you.

[@sherryhudson9075]

I really have a problem with toothbrushes out on display. They should be tucked away. Very unhygienic.

[@lesliejackson8188]

*@Sherry Hudson...agreed‼️ Nothing more gross than sticking a toothbrush 🪥 in your mouth that has been continuously bathed in airborne water💧droplets 💦 containing urine and feces particles from a flushed toilet‼️🤮😳🤢*

[@rekwa3860]

Depends on whether you have a bathroom with a toilet or are they separate. Our toilet is a separate room, we don't have any pets, so I don't see how having toothbrushes over the sink is unhygienic. Plus they dry better when not in a cabinet.

[@Kelsey.E]

I suddenly realized that maybe ‘bathroom’ is what Canadians call ‘washroom’…. Interesting 🤔 🍁

[@upriver7047]

Don't mix your woods, but can you mix the tiles? Like subway on walls and penny tiles on the floor? Should they be the same color in tgat case? What if the sink wall only has room for a mirror and no side lighting. Should you then use the overhead lighting that you just instructed us not to use? I'm disabled. We are replacing the only tub in the only bathroom with a shower so I can access it more safely and future owners be damned. Sometimes that's just way life is.

[@julierinehart1323]

Oh my. Our opinions on the penny tile are polar opposite. I feel like that looks SO outdated, not classic.

[@pamhuber6661]

Always use hooks not towel bars. Too much fussing folding things after every use even for guests they will thank you. They will dry better on hooks. The bigger the better for thicker towels. It will also a help for kids to hang there own towels so a learning activity and a responsibility for them.

*Good tips❣️ I am about to tear out my horrible tile in the main bathroom that was DIY'd by the previous owners, because it LOOKS DIY'd‼️😬😲😳 They didn't use spacers so there are THICK AND THIN GROUT LINES and patched corners. This bathroom makes me CRINGE and shudder every time I walk into it.😬🥶🥴😵‍💫😖* *I liked what you said about the sconces, too. This bathroom has the overhead light bar with seven small gooseneck fixtures with white frosted flower-shaped glass globes that are open at the bottom, so you can see the bulbs. And, the fixture is silver...YUCK‼️ Also, the mirror is the FULL LENGTH OF THE WALL. Any suggestions for lighting since there is no open wall space for sconces, since it's all one big rectangular mirror? 😔 (This house was built in 1982.) I'd really appreciate your guidance. 😉💕🤍🍃*

Question before I sign up for the Design Classes- is this going to work for me if my home is currently very cluttered? In the last 3.5 years I've had 2 daughters get married and leave home but left stuff behind still; both parents passed away and much of their stuff came to my house. I'm just now able to START working on it after taking care of one daughter for months following a difficult birth experience she had. My background is in interior design but that was over 20 years ago. Thoughts?

[@SheHoldsDearly]

We focus on decluttering (or editing, as we like to call it) as part of the class, because I think it's a really important first step! If you're up for starting to tackle the clutter, I think you'll find great encouragement and motivation in that area from our group! And you'll certainly still benefit from the other aspects of the class as well! :) Here's the link if you do join us!

Sarah, thank you so much for getting back to me. I've prayed about it and I think it would be best for me to wait until September to jump in.

So please put me on the wait list for September, I really want to do this!!!! Thank you! ❤️

[@nmbr6kid]

Don’t you get tired of playing it safe though?? I found I was not enjoying my decorating at all because I was so focused on what the next owner might find okay. I was miserable. I finally said….”forget this! I live here. Those people can do what they want. This is my house”. Now, I am decorating happily 😊. Safe is not a design plan for me 🥴

[@KR-os6nn]

Yep, I have to disagree with this one. Choose the safe choice? Boring. Blah. Barn doors being “out”? Hey, you’re entitled to your opinion. They’ve worked for people for hundreds of years. May be out or overdone as a trend, but I can imagine they would be beautiful with white tile and black accents around the room. Maybe even incorporating some soft neutrals. Rules can be broken 🤪

There's nothing pretty about toothbrushes displayed in a bathroom, not to mention the germs that fall on something you will then put in your mouth. The vintage-looking holder is pretty but wouldn't want brushes there that I intended on using.
