I think you should start in the family room. It'll be a mess and expensive but you'll get to enjoy it the rest of the year. Plus the other projects will seem like they're no big deal. If not the the family room, then the laundry room. Having a space that works for you, will make laundry more manageable.
@dianedavies79942 күн бұрын
Do the laundry room. Go with the light cabinets. Since they will be up high you don’t want the space to feel closed in with dark cabinets. Also, I’ve had the stackable W/D and won’t have another front load washer again. Why don’t you just put the extra frig in the garage instead. I think the w/d and frig together will also make the room feel so much more crowded. You should team up with Clutterbug to help you organize. She can help you find your organizing style so you can do it and maintain it.

@suelaidacker68162 күн бұрын
In the laundry room use light color so it doesn’t feel closed in. Also have you thought of elevating your washer and dryer about 24” or maybe a little more so you can save your back? Then you can have storage under and also pull out platforms in front of the units for laundry baskets . Also upper cabinets are necessary. On the stairs use a beautiful carpet runner up the center of them and ending at the landing. I made my own carpets bars with dowel rods and candle cups and pipe brackets as holders. I painted them gold and the cost for each was $3 instead of $18 which I would have paid for each one if I didn’t make them and had to buy them. In the family room please talk your husband out of that built in!! I agree with you and it has to go.

I agree start with your son's room. Then he can enjoy it when you do the rest of the house. An option and I know they cost a little bit, but they have a good warranty as well speed queen has a front loader. I agree with you as far as another refrigerator as overflow and beverages. You have a busy home and that would be so nice for you. We have a backup refrigerator and it is so helpful. The only thing is I wish it was on my main floor and I didn't have to go off late as stairs to get to it. When you talk about putting cheetah, print on your steps as carpet. My thought was. Are you better to accent with your really bold? Fun patterns and keep your carpet something that you can work with, so if you want to change out anething a carpet is a little more spending to change. I'm excited to see what you get done in this coming year. I think it always turns out ever so beautiful. I was thinking of that space that your husband loves in your family room. What happened? If you made some kind of pull out, drawers had nice paneled fronts but had some kind of pull out for storage so it could look pretty in the way you want it to but also have the capability of easy storage for your family with all their gaming and activities. I have 3 sons and later had a daughter. So I understand all that business and our house was the hangout place with all their friends and it was so nice when I could figure out a way to quickly. Have them put things away and have it a quick tidy.

All after your son’s room, oh and I would do the bathroom before the stairwell and then the laundry room.

Laundry room Because these all need change for function and obviously your sons room just so he has a finished space. 4. Bathroom 5. Stairs 6. Kitchen. I say this last because then possibly it will be closer to the time of your planned full renovation so your plans can work as more towards the permanent renovation design but works even if it's not being completed right away. I feel like this order also takes cost into consideration and alternating expensive vs less expensive! Hope it helps! Cant wait to see them all!

Light color for the bathroom. Front loader washers need to have the door cracked open when not in use to prevent mold. Think about being crowded into the corner to get into your washer and dryer. You may want to start letting your boys fold and hang up their own laundry. I'd do son's room first, laundry, then bathroom. Leave the dining room chairs with the cheetah print. It looks great there and not overwhelming.

You've got some amazing ideas for the different rooms, Natalee. For your laundry room, I think you're wise adding stackable washer and dryers so you can put in an additional refrigerator. We have had a front loading washer and dryer for 17 years and I've loved it immensely. We have never had any problems with either one of them and they've washed clothes perfectly. I have never regretted getting the front loaders. I say what I do about putting in another refrigerator though because we started out with a side-by-side refrigerator like you have currently in your kitchen and they just do not have a lot of space in the refrigerator. When ours developed a problem that couldn't be fixed, we got a French Door Refrigerator, and what a difference in inside refrigerator space! And there is also a lot more room in the freezer section as well. Your laundry room doesn't look like it is very big, so although the black cabinetry is beautiful I'm afraid it is likely to close in that space more. Once the laundry gets dumped in there (I raised 3 boys and know how they can be), I'm not sure you'd see the beauty in the space anymore because of it closing in on you. The lighter, brighter laundry room would be much happier and more inviting space to work in, in my opinion. I love your ideas for the downstairs bathroom. Having the sink in an old dresser or something similar would look terrific in there. I'd suggest you start with the laundry room simply because unfortunately laundry is a basic necessity of our lives, so you might as well do it in a beautiful room.

There’s no shame in ur organization game. Hehe. Can’t wait to see all ur new ideas for this 2025. And on that note HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Ps. I hate the laundry too. Lolol

I like the light and bright laundry room. As for organizers, Britney Blane, LgQueen, and At home with Nikki are really good. I really enjoy your videos!

Definitely think you should finish your son’s room first. The others are based on your family needs. I would suggest animal print somehow in the bathroom. It is you! Don’t worry about using it in multiple places if you can find tasteful ways to use it. Love all your ideas! 💙💙💙

I really love the idea of the black cabinets in the laundry room, i carnt wait to see which room you start first, and a big "THANK YOU " to you for encouraging us ladys to do things we wouldn't normally do. In the next month or so im going to have a go at doing wall panels in my bedroom and getting my son to help me. But my first mission is to build a Media unit in my living room, feeling quite nervous about that, but thank you for all the great content you do, HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎉 🎉😂 to you and your lovely family 🎆🥰

Love the stackable and maybe a folding table beside those and fridge for drinks under. Stairs carpet with brass holders.

Go with white and bright. Your kitchen has dark cabinets, your work area is all black cabinets with black boxes on top. You need to make that space light and bright put some nice fake flowers and some artwork and it will make doing the laundry a lot easier. They moved to a new home. That’s exactly what I did and I really do see a difference. I don’t mind doing the laundry at all. Even my husband is doing the laundry now to help out. Try it I think you’ll love it. You can always change it later. Love all you Vlogs you’re a doll you encourage me so much.

I’m sitting here in my craft room. I decided that I needed to organize but all I’ve managed to do is pull everything out and now I’m sitting in such a mess, taking a break watching you. I tend to vacillate between extreme styles and colors too. I’m loving the deep dark colors you shared with the gold accent hardware. I love that you keep it so real! God bless you, have a blessed day!💜💕

I had to stop your videos when you arrived in your laundry room. I just love your openness and honesty. You are such a real person. I love you!!!

I’m sure whatever you do in your laundry room will be true perfection Natalee. I do like the idea of dark cabinetry, however. ❤❤

I would recommend a separate refrigerator and separate freezer for the kitchen. I think that looks very high-end in your kitchen. This way, you can keep the washer and dryer below the counter, which I think will stop the tall walls from feeling like they are falling in on you, and more space for upper cabinet.😊

I have the same effects on sugar as well. Start with your sons room. Can't wait to see the stairwell and laundry room.

Happy New Year Natalie, I like both the dark and light cabinets in your laundry room, but think the black/gold is more elegant and keeps with the theme that you are going with in your house.What about a tall, skinny fridge which might allow a cabinet in-between the fridge, stackable washer/dryer? Will be waiting to see how it turns out.

oh wow, I'm just 5 mins in and I can't wait to see all the ideas! And, I think a wonderful collab for organization would be with "the minimal mom"

Hi Natalee, I love how you are so real! I would go with the light grey for the laundry room. I also love the stacking washer and dryer allowing for room for a refrigerator or freezer. I love the idea of a dresser as the sink in the bathroom. It would really stand out as the focal point in the room. I can't wait to see all these projects come to fruition. My vote is the laundry room as the first project...start small when you have so much on your plate and don't know where to begin. This will get the ball rolling 😁

I would go light colored cabinets in laundry room. I like the extra refrigerator in there. Do son's room first, kids grow up fast and he has been waiting. Guest bathroom second. I love how real you are.
