“You guys are so annoying!” Was my favorite part of the whole video 🥰🤣

[@mializzim]

OMG that's the perfect window for an herb garden. Make a long planter to custome fit the window. All you do is set an alarm on your phone to water once per week and they'll grow even with a brown thumb. You'll have fresh herbs all year round ❤

[@linmims3049]

I am amazed that the window turned out looking so nice, for 2.50, wow! I have a suggestion, of course for later on. Could you perhaps place a privacy fence between you and the neighbor, then plant some pretty climbing roses, clematis, or honeysuckle, and a small herb garden? That would be such a lovely view to have while letting in the natural light. Just a suggestion for the future. Enjoy your beautiful new home!

[@MelAtlNP]

When I’m frazzled or in a bad mood, I turn on your channel whether you’re talking about something I’m interested in or not, your sweet beautiful smile and cheerful kind voice makes me happy

[@CajunCooper89]

I may have another solution for the window in your kitchen. It’s called Gallery Glass stained glass paint. From Michael’s. I used it in a bathroom window. I got either clear or a slightly opaque-ish clear. I stippled it on with a paint brush. It looked like a pebbled frosted glass. It’s also removable. Though you may be happy with the contact paper, I don’t know because I haven’t finished your video. 😂 I thought I’d post it as it might be the right solution for someone else. Now, back to your video. 😊 In case anyone is wondering. The Gallery Glass paint blurred the view a little more than the contact paper.

[@designedtothenines]

I will have to check it out! Thanks for the suggestion. For now I do like that but I’m always looking for fun new mediums.

[@juliemlynarczyk7475]

I used gallery glass on a sliding door. It gives privacy without giving up light. I put a border of green around the opaque to give it a pop of color.

[@Paula-po9kx]

Thank you. You are really getting things all decorated out.

[@sharonlyles7268]

I used it as well

[@yvonnesmith2578]

Thank you for sharing this product!😊

[@theresaholden7580]

It’s so exciting to see how you settle in and get busy with your new home. Your husband is so sweet and made me smile with his adorable comment. Your son made me laugh out loud and reminded me of how my daughter reacted to us when she was younger. Keep living your best life! 💕

[@nancyhoskins197]

May the Lord bless your family in you new home with warmth, love and grace. As a former Navy wife, now married for over 54 years, we've moved many times. We are facing our greatest moving challenge as we declutter and pack for a much smaller space, our final home. We are packing so many things, the most delightful is our memories and photos. You have many memory making moments ahead for each of you! Nancy, from Davenport, Florida.

[@DeAnn_Davies_1227]

We just moved to another state last spring. I am just now reorganizing my kitchen to be functional. I haven't ever had pull-out drawers, built-in knife blocks, and all of the fancy cabinet arrangements found in today's kitchens. Understanding how to use them has been a challenge. I'm figuring it out! I can relate to what you said about unpacking and using space "for now."

[@sandybrown8698]

Another idea for the window is to “paint” it with white school glue. It gives a frosted look with more texture.

[@triciamichal9827]

I found a decorative frosted window film at Lowe’s. So you have the frosted background and clear designs. Blocks the neighbors and still lets the light in so you done feel like you don’t have a little bit of a view of the outdoors The house is looking great !!!

[@eileencarew1972]

Ah, unpacking after moving in, boy do I remember that & the brown corrugated "decor"! You're in your forever home, so don't knock yourself out overdoing the unpacking. Your kitchen is lovely, looks like you have quite a bit of storage & yes add those pullouts. I used "Rev-A-Shelf" in my kitchen cabinets, so glad I did, they are just great. You can get them at Lowes or Home Depot, so worth it. Enjoy decorating your new home!

[@gailbradford305]

I love love daylight bulbs, especially as I age. I put them in my master (huge) closet and WOW, I can actually see in there. Same thing in my master bath and laundry room. I don’t mind warm light in the bedroom and sitting areas but sometimes you just gotta see!

[@designedtothenines]

I agree!!

[@Julie-si3hi]

This is so true!

[@kathydunn128]

Another idea for your kitchen window, albeit, more expensive would be a lattice and ivy greenery wall. Colorful and bringing a little nature inside your beautiful home.

[@maryharris8189]

Hey, my girl. How are you on this precious day that God has set aside for you? I loved last week's video. You are the very first one that I saw sheers and draperies at the window. I am 73 years better and I love the look and have always dressed my windows like that. I have done other homes and introduced them to the look. It is timeless. Enjoy the rest of your precious God-given day. Ms. Mary

[@deaneclark6469]

Good morning, NataLee! As always, NataLee, everything looks amazing!❤ I'm glad that the AG1 is going well for you!❤ Stay safe, healthy, and positive! God bless you and your family!🙏❤️🇺🇸😊

[@stephanielardner9150]

That window has endless possibilities. This will be such fun for us to watch you make this house yours.

[@Southeastgeorgiapeach]

Great video! I actually used Dollar Tree contact paper on our front door with a glass insert several years ago when their price was still $1.00. It is still on the door and still looks great. One roll did the trick. Your kitchen looks terrific. Pace yourself on unpacking the boxes. Rome wasn’t built in a day!

[@teeser2436]

N.E Ga. Mtns here 👋🏻

[@Southeastgeorgiapeach]

Hope you are bundled up in northeast Georgia. Down my way, it is really cold! Thanks for saying hello. 👋🏻

[@marilyn2499]

So excited to see what you do with your new home Natalee! Moving,unboxing,and organizing is hard work in itself. I like that you are taking a moment to “feel out” the new space. I’m still trying to figure ours out after 2 years of living in it! Also, I’d like to mention that I absolutely LOVE how ummmm….annoying Y’all are with each other,lol. ♥️

[@newbeginnings2056]

It doesn't matter if it takes 2 years to sort out a house. No matter how much prep or planning goes into moving - reality is so different. As removal men are in big demand - it was like a conveyor belt getting the stuff into my house - the couch made it through the front door but didn't want to go any further (door frames were smaller in new place). So I put what I could away in the attic or front room and closed the door. It's said you have to live in a house before you do anything with it - cosmetically or structural as one's original plans / ideas & the functionality of the rooms change. It's given me something to do at weekends - de-cluttering, re-cycling & donating to charities. One's possessions look different in new surroundings mixed in with items purchased while perusing the charity shops (treated myself). Hope you're happy in your new house 🍾🥂🤞🙂🍀.

[@gloriarazo631]

Try cotton quilting fabric on your window. There is almost unlimited choices. Very easy to attach, use 1 to 1 ratio of liquid starch and water. Cut the cotton slightly larger then you need, for your window I would add 4" to the length and width. Put the material in the mixture then squeeze it all out and attach to the glass and smooth out.trim around and done. The beauty is the light gets through on light fabrics and jut pull off when you want a new look.

[@debbiemize2269]

Love that frosted glass window and all you’ve done in your kitchen! I appreciate so much your philosophy of this isn’t permanent but it will do for now!

[@lovestosingalot55bodin7]

Yes, pace yourself Natalie. You can buy frosted contact paper with patterns; probably even "stained glass" patterns as well. Perhaps The Home Depot has them. It may be expensive but if you find one you really like you can keep it there for years. Do you have under cabinet lighting to brighten it up a bit more; because of the colour of your counter tops.

[@tracyknight5186]

I love the kitchen! I cant wait to see what else you're going to do! And your husband obviously adores you ❤

[@murlepeterson6028]

The dining room is my fav , then the kitchen. Your hubby ( secrectly the kiddos too ! ) Must be so proud of you ! The HOME you create w then , no words. May the day come in everyone's life to know a life filled with faith, love ,trust,family & friends. True, you work at it yet faith brings it. Thank you for sharing. Can'nt wait for the rest! This place is huge! How many sq ft?

[@flynnetc2530]

It's a very nice house!! I can't wait to go along with you on this journey to transform your house to something beautiful!!!

[@iknitb4itwaship33]

Regarding storage, the space beneath your cooktop is actually deep enough for a two narrow shallow drawers! My friend had one made but of course, that is totally within your wheelhouse/ability!!!

[@mariawilliams1314]

I always love watching someone unpack in their new home. My husband and I are older and I have a really bad back so we had the pullouts added in our lower cabinets and we love them. So yeah, I see you adding them soon. Love the minimal decor you have out and your dining room looks so pretty even with the old drapes. Looking forward to seeing what all you do. Take care of yourself. 😊❤😊

[@lovestosingalot55bodin7]

Can you take the old drapes down with a broom or something like that with a long handle?

[@patriciareeps3389]

You’ve made great progress. I used the window film sold at Lowe’s to cover the bottom of my two bathroom windows that looked out to my next door neighbor. I used the left over film to cover glass inserted in two end tables. Never thought to use contact paper. Looking forward to your next episodes in the new house

[@thechickincharge1073]

I am a HUGE fan of warm lights and I even like the yellowy cast to them! I am not a big fan of loads of bright overhead lighting but I know it is necessary in some areas but I like lamp light best and have tons to turn out each night. Gotta get me the remote control bulbs for sure! It is really looking great!!

[@loriweitzel]

I always wondered where you got your energy! Now I know! 🙂

[@shawnnakaminski2104]

He is so cute, I just love the way he looks at you.

[@carolynratliff1380]

You need an herb garden…..you have been wanting a shelf in your kitchen….you don’t want a grid because your food will splash on it…..you can always spray a clear coat on it for privacy too…make a pretty lamp out of a silver teapot to put in your window

[@carolynratliff1380]

Love your wood cabinets…..gorgeous

[@photoguru23]

I would put a gorgeous lace valance across that window! I had a window just like that, but in my living room in our old house. I went to a shop and had a metal rod (very small diameter) cut to length, and used some small mounting brackets to hang it from. Used a beautiful lace valance. I gathered mine about 1 and 1/2 times. You could go straight or gathered slightly or a lot.

[@donnatappan4087]

Coming along, it takes time when u move. Everything is going to look so awesome, when everything in its own place.

[@yasmincandelario2849]

Yes Natalie, that is the project that I wanted to do also in my kitchen. It’ll be great whenever you’re ready. I’ll be watching you take thank you glad that you’re back home.

[@lauriepayseur5897]

Natalee I can already tell you that you’re going to love that “frosted glass” look in the kitchen. I did that same thing in my bedroom about ten years ago… on balcony doors. Oh I did it in a Moraccan shape and stacked it kind of like your old backsplash. You will love it… now back to the video. 😂 professional window tinters use slip on the glass couple drops of baby shampoo and Water. Got to the End and I’m so impressed as always! And Honey was right you did look cute! ❤😂

[@designedtothenines]

🥰🙏💕

[@fisherlady408]

NataLee everything you do is awesome and definitely gotta have sliding drawers! It saves my back and knees!

[@mammacass5311]

For a quick update to the light fixtures try getting pretty bulbs and remove the shades

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

I can't wait to see how you decorate and design your new home. You have a beautiful eye for both.

[@designedtothenines]

Thank you so much!

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

@@designedtothenines you're so very welcome, friend.

[@ginahernandez3219]

Kitchen looks great. Wow! What a great idea on how to put the contact paper. Thanks for sharing, Natalee ❤

[@dianelambert8281]

Amazon has that window film in different patterns or simple and it comes with a spray that dries quick with water! Soo simple

[@Julie-si3hi]

Is it really easy? I keep wanting to do it in my kitchen.

[@margiegerdes7437]

Amazon has tons of really pretty window film. So easy to apply.

[@kitzimmerman9843]

I have loved Vivaldi's Four Seasons since the first time I heard it. Makes my arm hair stand up straight.

[@bubbydumas]

Oooh, one other thing. If the contact paper doesn't work out, try the Elmers glue method and apply using your fingers in a swirly motion. Katherine on Do it on a Dime introduced me to this. From what I remember it is 2 tbls. glue to 2 tsp. water and mix. Thanks - Rose

[@kebergify]

That window shape is amazing. I love the light it brings in! The frosted idea is a good one for privacy. Your kitchen is beautiful as it is!

[@dotmaines3684]

Love your new home! You are making it beautiful already! Good job Natalie!

[@summertyme9046]

Its perfect for now! Its about settling in at this point.

[@ceativenatureshop]

So I'm not the only one with a lamp post in my house lol. One of my things I love is Lamppost I have one in my bedroom. That I found in the metal pile at the dump and thrifted it. There's a tiny space between my closet door and the bureau. I get so many compliments. Sometimes I think I should move it to the living room where it would be seen more ... or maybe the end of the hall. They're movable right LOL 😁✨️🌟✨️ Beautiful home .... congratulations!

[@cruzn4ever169]

I did the same thing twelve years ago and it is still up - love it - privacy

[@pamela3722]

You got your kitchen settles in. That’s a lot in a video. And it looks great.

[@dianewilson4523]

I have a few of these windows( I live in FL too, so not sure if this is a FL thing)…anyways I cut a frame out of a one by two the inside dimension of my window. I took a contact paper and peeled the paper off, put tissue paper ( I cut bamboo like leaves, but you can do anything) and laid them on the contact paper, then put contact paper on top, “sandwiching” my design in middle, then stapled that to my frame and finished it out. I get a ton of compliments on my window. They also make sprays, and films for privacy.

[@karenquick8737]

I'm so happy for you, with getting everything out of boxes! Whew! Can't wait for the looks along the way, with you getting your kitchen to how you want it!!

[@AbiNomac]

Can’t wait to see the renovated kitchen. Nice work Nat

[@LavenderDaisies]

I just get so excited FOR YOU watching you put your new home together. It’s obvious how excited you are for this. Congratulations!! You are going to turn this home into a Masterpiece, I have No doubt! And we get to reap the benefits of watching.

[@paulaczajka7620]

Congratulations, I can’t wait to go on this journey with you as you turn a house into a home. Some small pots with fresh herbs would love that window in the kitchen. TY for sharing your story & inspiring us to create something beautiful. Hoping your health only continues to improve 🙏🏻.

[@brendabrinton2062]

❤Your home will be beautiful when you are done with it! The only thing I really dislike the window placement... what about a backsplash that divides the window into two ? Heat and spatter will ruin your contact paper.

[@lindasmith5190]

Enjoying the process. Love the window behind the stove.

[@dawnbartoy9949]

I have used the Gila window film at Lowe’s multiple times. So easy and has multiple patterns.

[@denisejordan8648]

You have done a great job getting your home together. Keep sharing your journey.

[@PP-hs3ep]

Another solution for your kitchen window besides the contact paper would be to fill the window with beautiful houseplants. An orchid or two and other house plants that do well in Florida year round. The contact paper is not very flattering inside or on the outside.

[@charleneblake1146]

That little window is better with the opaque covering!!!

[@judymcinnis]

I used Rustoleum Frost spray. I bought it at Home Depot. You find it in the spray paint section. You just spray it on the glass and it gives it the frosty look. It allows light in, but it gives you privacy. It is also removable if you don't like it or you want to change it up.

[@helsbels2582]

Love, love your chandeliers. You cannot go wrong with wrought iron. But I would get rid of the shades. They will look prettier. And also I wish I could send you my frosted, great quality roll I used for my vertical window next to my front door. But not sure I have enough left though to cover your window. 🙁And it has an embellishment of leaves and some flowers all over. Tastefully done. I’ve had it for years. Looking forward to seeing your new house redesigned. 😀

[@kateyrandolph1212]

Dollar tree has a window frosted glass cling that has designs too.

[@diddyboler9000]

I got privacy film on Amazon. It comes in so many designs and lengths so no piecing. So many compliments.

[@catherinemurray5956]

How about a stained glass hanging in the window. The full length, Maybe “Callahan”. Or just a beautiful design you do!

[@l.e.bingham6643]

Hello I hope you’re doing well everything is coming together nicely, can’t wait to see the rest of your home decorated. GOD BLESS 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💖🥰💯💫

[@ea64843]

I would love to see how to build a pull out shelf for my kitchen cupboards, please please post this when you do it xxxx

[@jennifercumings9276]

Natalie, I heard that Hershey bars have a lot of metal in them. I was floored when I read that and wouldn't have paid attention to it if it hadn't been for you. I am actually trying to live a healthier lifestyle, with the income I have. If there is a way you can do a video dedicated to ways to sustain your health, on a budget, I and I am sure millions of others would appreciate it!! I'm so happy you're doing better and thank you for sharing what happened with your health. So many were praying and I was one of them! You help with a lot more then I think you realize!!!

[@barbb.9489]

You certainly work quickly, bravo 👏!

[@CM-lx1wz]

Thank you, Natalie!! You are such a blessing to us with your creativity and being so positive!!

[@joanndelise7292]

You have accomplished a lot in a short amount of time. Love the big kitchen. I agree you need to take your time with paint and decorating. Best wishes.

[@terridunn777]

I own a paint company so I do some decorating.... had a thought about your kitchen window... instead of the film inside why not put something on the outside like a shelve that holds plants ....maybe a water feature ...fencing ... even a picture hanging down from outside but hanging like 10 inches off the house so you get all the light ...you can look at instead of the neighbors stuff but you still have a clean window from your kitchen view ❤ Love your show❤😊

[@BrandyH-eh9up]

I would do a pretty stain glass on that kitchen window. But in the meantime it does its job and looks good. Edit now that i have seen the end the frosted glass looks really good! Also your husband is so sweet. ❤ you guys seem like an awesome couple

[@user-qx1fo9ik2e]

Your other home was beautiful. Your new home is just gorgeous ❤

[@MrKissmybrass]

[@rhondafisher72]

So exciting to have a new home. Can't wait for all the new videos.

[@barbaramazzatenta9228]

CONGRATULATIONS on the new beautiful home! I can't wait to see what you do with it. PS glad your friend is your neighbor

[@judyanderson8782]

I agree with sliding out doors. I suggest you just wall up the area and tile it with a decorative tile.

[@leejacobs3620]

Loving going on this 'new home' adventure with you.

[@MmeO]

When we built our home, a window like that would have overlooked our neighbor's roof. Our solution was to put a backsplash of glass block. Some might say it's out of style, but 35 years and one remodel later, I kept the block - we got the light without the view.

[@desertlady2815]

Love your new home! Your kitchen looks beautiful...of course. Those daylight bulbs made a huge difference. You are continually amazing 😃 🤟

[@charlenedimonte]

Feels so good to unpack and clean! I moved 10 days before Christmas and am finally organized. Tired but organized! Great job on the kitchen. I used the window film from Home Depot on a walk out basement door, it actually came with the spray solution, but was not $2.50. 😤 Loved the update on your new home, it’s looking fabulous! 🙋🏼‍♀️🇨🇦🥰

[@tammyolimer-lohnes2495]

if the bubbles dont go away, maybe get the stain glass contact paper at home depot that would look stunning

[@lindabirkes-lance8915]

I'm so excited for you in your new home. It will be exciting to watch you as you continue to make it yours. I am especially excited to have you show us how you install the slide-outs in your cabinets. I want to install those in my cabinets, but I've been reluctant to pull the plug and begin.

[@marthal2581]

It’s nice when a husband compliments his wife sorry kids that’s love ❤❤❤❤❤

[@roxiewallace2900]

Very fun video. I love seeing a space become warm and inviting! It's going to be enjoyable to watch you make your new home become what you have envisioned. 😊

[@Tia-vj9ox]

Just a suggestion, when you get ready to upgrade that window. over the backsplash, consider commissioning a stained glass artist to make you a beveled glass window to cover the existing window. It allows light but you’d have privacy and it would look classy. I have something similar on my front door.

[@Tia-vj9ox]

It’s a bit pricey but well worth it!

[@Tia-vj9ox]

Love your classic design. So nice that you don’t just follow the “trends”❤️

[@cinder8290]

Your kitchen is looking really nice. I look forward to seeing how you decorate the rest.

Your kitchen is starting to look great. I have a dishwasher that leaks so i use it for drying dishes. I perfer to having a cabinet instead - a very small kitchen. Every place i lived that had a dishwasher - I barely used. Look forward to see how the house comes along.

[@auntb6817]

Those daylight balanced bulbs are so cold. Very much a fluorescent vibe. If you don’t love it, you can use a bit of a higher wattage led bulb and use soft white. Will make a huge difference without the cold fluorescent tone.

[@Vieweratlarge]

But….remember with those you have to have the correct dimmer as many don’t work with the new LED’s

[@marshiathomas8804]

You REALLY need to wallpaper the back wall of your hutch with a pretty dark paper so your dishes show!! Also the good over the stop top is gorgeous!! I wouldn't change it!!!

[@deliawong8045]

It's a beautiful kitchen already. But I can't wait to see what you will do with it.
