It feels like moving in all over again | Time to Decorate!

It feels like moving into a new house, and moving in all over again. The renovation is finally over and it's time to decorate the brand new space. I buy the biggest essential items for the new space and get going on all of my design ideas. I hope that you enjoy watching me unpack my stuff and have fun decorating and enjoying my roof windows.

Oh my god its her house let her do whatever she wants give her a chance to show us what she has in mind.

[@JoanArc-or9sr]

Haha I know right

[@daisydukes8252]

There will be opinions in the meantime.

[@brendasnow8255]

The skylight and beams look really good. So much light in what was a dark space.

[@frau_guteluft]

The skylight and the olive tree are just meant to be! So happy for you that you've now reclaimed your living room again❤

[@EliseBuch]

[@PattyPaints]

Elise - a little advice from a professional furniture painter... If you do paint the bench, be sure to use a shellac-based primer first. Knotty pine is a huge bleeder. You'll have brown circles everywhere there's a knothole if you don't. Water-based primers don't work as well as shellac. There are a lot of nay sayers in the comments, but I'm looking forward to seeing what you do. 🧡

[@maureenmunro2826]

Yes you absolutely need to seal pine before painting!❤❤

[@juliewells4282]

Yes a shellac based primer is so necessary for this bench before painting!

[@CleoHarperReturns]

I rarely read other comments unless there's a lot of likes -- such as this one. Otherwise it would be a full-time job defending this sweet, intelligent girl from all the jealousy in the comment section. It's mystifying that people feel the need to behave so small-mindedly. I hope Elise doesn't read them either. She's a grown ass woman living her own life and she's had quite the journey. Good advice on the primer. I wish my mother would take that advice because it would save me a lot of work afterwards.😅

[@michellebyrom6551]

Bang on about the shellac base. I used the wrong base 25+ years ago on some shelving. Several paint colours later and the knots still show.

[@nickyonstilts128]

Thank you Patty. I was going to use Kilz primer on my knotty pine walls. It looks like Uncle Bob's fishing cabin.

[@daysebatista]

That "You're my chill pill" you have hanging from your fridge? YOU are my chill pill. Anti-stress, inspiring, calming and aesthetically pleasing. Do whatever you want with your clothes and house: I will love it all.

[@EliseBuch]

It was actually a follower that made and sent it to me years back, really sweet 🥰 Thanks

[@patchouleigh_]

Amen

[@peggynorton5145]

I think the big mirror would look good on the wall behind the olive tree. Hanging crossway, for maximum impact. The sunlight would bounce off the mirror throughout the whole space , plus the reflection of the garden in it would be breathtaking.

[@lornagoodman1891]

Love this idea, mirroring nature in that beautiful open space and the wooden beams above ❤

[@SarahWhelan]

Love this idea! I think it would work really well.

[@user-qk2bh7ks3e]

I'm usually good at seeing a vision, but I have to admit this time I am lost. I know you will bring it all together in your own way. The scale seems off for this grand beautiful new space.😮 Your kitchen is cozy and inviting.

[@janetbreckon8211]

It's worth a try. it can't hurt.

[@Saturnrising272]

That's Brilliant!!!

[@CherrieForest]

Trust your instincts and it’s your home 😊

[@annettemurielle]

One thing I enjoy most about your videos, Elise, is watching your taste and style evolve. Over the years, I have seen your home go from very young bohemian to sophisticated, and classic, yet the bohemian is still present in little touches. I admit to being a bit shocked when you showed us your new table and bench, but I have learned to trust your vision and while I don't always see where you're going I always love what you achieve when you arrive. I cannot wait to see how you put your "new" dining room together, no doubt with perfect Elise-flare. Brava, Elise! Brava!

[@EliseBuch]

Thaaaanks ❤️✨️

[@annettemurielle]

@@EliseBuch You are very welcome!

[@the.slowdown]

Another large mirror on the wall behind your olive tree would be so lovely to reflect your garden windows & amplify the light coming in from the skylight as well! 🤩

[@joanneperry1073]

You do you Elise. Not sure why others feel they have to judge what you choose to do. Your the only one who has to love it. Keep up the great work. Your home is becoming a beautiful haven.

[@louismeyer5132]

A very thoughtful comment here and great that you support elises right to choose.

[@joanneperry1073]

I was about to say the same. Hold true to your vision Elise and always live you 💚

There is a difference between voicing an opinion and judging.

[@rikkemeek1506]

Next time you can't get wax out of candleholders put them in the freezer and they should pop right out.

[@soniaaviles6712]

I put hot water

[@ericae4419]

The easiest method I’ve found is to place a paper towel on a baking sheet lined with tin foil, place object on….in this case…candle holder upside down for wax to run out, place in very LOW heated oven. Wax will melt into paper towel which you can toss, or keep as fire starter. Wipe object clean with paper towel. Easy peasy, and you can do multiple objects at once.

[@halinakajfoszova4354]

Yup, have done that a couple of times myself

[@JoanArc-or9sr]

Thank you

Cheers, Elise! You can be really proud of what you achieved. It' so light and bright and beautiful! 🥂

[@hattekid]

Hi, Elise! As an interior architect, I must advise you to… do whatever you want 😂 you proved every 👏 single 👏 time 👏 that you know what you are doing. And it already looks great. ❤ly

[@maxinebaskerville6020]

!! You really are a Wonderkind and I hope all the young women AND men who watch your channel are inspired by you. I AM SO HAPPY for all you've done in the past 5 years I've watched you. Enjoy the fruits of your labors!😊❤🎉

[@victoriaroyer8918]

Yay! Pictures going up on the walls!! Go gf.❤😂

[@kokoslores9666]

First I thought: no way with this rustical bench, because the huge goldenframed mirror always gave me an impression of a vintage New York style diningroom, somewhat artdeco. But I am sure you will turn it into a very beautiful cosy place. The olivetree is so pretty and gives me mediterranian vibes. Can't wait to see what it looks like at the end of the decorating process! 😍

[@JackieMeadow]

Elise, have you ever considered adding a wodden overhang in the kitchen cutout wall? It could act as a little bar/seating area, I think it could be really cute and not too difficult to do! :)

[@user-rr5cm8mz6d]

As someone who lived in the 1970s everything you choose have that vibe. I feel transported back to my first homes and apartments. You make me wonder about reincarnation lol. It's like you are from that time period. Your channel is so deja vu for me. I feel like I go back in time. Example black and white twiggy just casually sitting on the floor as you always do. Very fun.

[@samanthabarnard9541]

I rarely like the paint colors you chose in the can, and then when you use them in your spaces they look wonderful! I’m sure it’s going to turn out beautiful.

[@penelopelaridonburkitt]

All is fabulous…absolutely adore your table & bench 😍 … if a large percentage of people don’t like my style I know I’m doing something right…not going for the obvious 😉

[@nancychestnut8928]

If you're going to paint the corner set, please prime it first! You won't regret doing that. If it speaks to you, do it! Life is for living! Good luck. I know you'll make everything beautiful.

[@Bluebirdsings]

The view on the garden from the living room is so gorgeous 🤩

[@wendyspears4707]

I love your new vision! Everything you come up with is so perfect! Thank you for sharing a little piece of yourself with all of us! ❤

[@mala890]

The olive tree is everything. Balances out the room. Your house and garden are lovely. Great job, Elise. I love seeing everything come together. ❤

[@louismeyer5132]

I think alot of us expected the new room area to just have a dinning table but I can see your vision is to have it more multi purpose hence the bence seat. Peoples taste moves on and only you know what you think is going to work for you. Your style is clearly ecclectic so keep going with your vision and I look forward to seeing the finished room.

[@Ima-Diamond]

You should be proud! That was a giant project and you did it!

[@jessicawidmeier2862]

That blanket would look nice on the back of your couch, the rust color matches the pillows and the purple gives it some interest.

[@user-gq3ip8kr5r]

That's what I thought too!

[@jenniferkelly6450]

Hi Elise, love the last paint colour, its perfect. I wouldnt change it. Your cushions can have darker shades of orange. Love your new tree, perfect room for lots of big plants. Everything is looking so stunning. Just gorgeous ❤

[@EliseBuch]

I agree about the paint ❤️

[@barbarajennion6113]

I love that you prepare us mentally for a n‘oh no’ reaction, and appeal to us to trust you. I have no doubts about your vision or your ability to make it a reality. The bench will be a ‘before’ and ‘after’ delight! Xx

[@EliseBuch]

hehe looks like it was good that I prepared, because the reactions are many.

[@AM-bm2xw]

Elise, thank you for showing us the process of decorating your home and showing that it is okay to pick things and then change your mind and go a different direction. It is very encouraging :)

[@divinelymoowah6104]

i agree, sometimes with so many options it feels paralyzing; though tried and true is to do the thing and then change it if its not working with the vision/flow/ease etc.

[@EliseBuch]

Thaaanks 🥰

[@kathywest5000]

It reminds me of a French Parisian cafe. I see were you are going. I think like you said Elise people need to trust the process. I especially love the little vignettes. 💖

Oooh, it’s coming together very nicely Elise. Enjoy your dressing/decorating-you e worked so hard to get here 😊

[@kyliedownes6048]

I'm always so excited to see your design plans and think once you've painted, filled it with all the other bits and bobs it will look amazing. Ignore the negative comments, this is your home and your vision. I think people tend to forget that ideas and likes change as you grow, everyone expects you to stay the same when that's really unfair. Why don't they post their homes and let us judge 🤷

[@thattitus2life]

[@sanjayesomaroo6608]

Hello Elise , thank you so much for sharing this with us . I also like decorating then adding the finishing touches from thrift shops .but you go above and beyond when you start from scratch you have so much energy and this inspires me to do more .I am another one who wasn’t expecting the corner seating and table as we would have this in the kitchen in my country but saying that I’m sure you will prove us wrong when you add your magic touch .❤

[@mandymoe6493]

I think I feel similar to many other people in the comments. First the corner bench seemed quite small, but then the olive tree appeared and I remembered that you have a vision and that it will work in the end. Please don't let anyone tell you what to do or not to do with your home. You live there every day, it's supposed to be your comfort zone. And honestly, if you end up not liking something (eg. the colour) then, well, change it again. Lots of hugs.

[@JoSmith-21]

Can't believe some of these comments. So rude. This beautiful lady is hard working and inspiring. Reminds me of me when I was her age.. love ❤️ from the UK 🇬🇧

[@kathleenkaleookalanismith8724]

That Terra cotta color for the benches are perfect because I notice that color is in the brick and planters in the yard and around the house so it will make the eye travel throughout the entire home. So excited for you!! I thought you were gonna get two loveseats and prop them up higher and get a square table to use as a sitting/lounging area! Hehehe! But I was sort of close!! Hehe!!

[@Saturnrising272]

I agree! The first*Terracotta* paint sample was the Best!

[@ehpeachylove]

Elise you are quite amazing in all things you tackle and I’m very proud of you as if you were my daughter. You’re brave in your color choices and I have no doubt your dining area will be beautiful when you finally decide on the right color for the bench. The olive tree is lovely and the thrift store pieces are so lovely. That vase with the beautiful colors was nice and would go with your color scheme. The painting is fresh, the candle sticks I would have purchased too. You have beautiful taste. This is your home, you do what you want to do and don’t let negative or others opinions detract from your visions for what you want to do. The nice thing about thrift shopping is that if something doesn’t work out or you get tired of an item, you can always sell or donate it back and get something different. Enjoy your weekend and also relax too. You deserve a moment of being still. Peace and love to you Elise ❤❤❤.

[@Lunadeaheks]

The new dining bench gave me flashbacks to your gardenhouse you made into a very cosy place to hang out, a few years ago. So I'm confident you will make it work in your livingroom too. You always have the most creative, wonderfull ideas!

[@EliseBuch]

Thaanks 🥰🥰

[@aileenbell6750]

The skylight project was an incredible success. Congratulations on completing all that very hard work. I love that you opened up the space. And the corner bench will allow you to sort of lie back to look up at the skylight. Lots of pillows will make it very cozy. ❤🎉❤🎉❤

[@divinelymoowah6104]

i agree, this is how i viewed it as well

[@alifetime360]

I love the corner storage bench idea. You'll be able to enjoy the skylights so much!!! I can already see you sitting there, sipping on a coffee, and soaking up that lovely natural light. It will be awesome!!!

[@robinsabo6932]

I feel the same as you when it comes to decorating my home, moving things around til it fells just right! Your new banquette is going to look perfect once you paint it and hang some pictures over it (to balance the space). I love the colorful vase you thrifted and the new block print pillows are really nice. It’s been so cool to watch the process of all the work you did yourself. Your kitchen looks sweet and feminine. I always enjoy watching your videos! ❤

[@h.k.617]

Dear Elise, i think you will make it Work and I trust the process. You know what you are doing. In the end, you have to love it and not someone else. Putting the olive tree in front of a mirror could ad more depth to the room. Keep it up and see you next friday.

[@poodlegirl55]

Change is good. I have owned eight houses and my decor changes with the houses. I know I take down what some people think looks good. I was looking at couches and the salesman said this couch could last at least twenty years, like that was a selling point. I said oh honey there is no way I could look at the same couch for 20 years.

[@vintagehuman7039]

I wish I had your talent - the ability to pick items and envision their potential before it is reality. It is very inspiring and I can't wait to see you put your spin on it all. It's going to be fabulous I'm sure!

[@lamsing6090]

The flowers from your garden are BEAUTIFUL, Elise! My husband has planted old-fashioned roses these past few years in our front and back gardens and this year they are so abundant and happy. The fragrance is wonderful, especially in the late afternoon-early evening. Your dining renovation is wonderfully light and airy. Job well done.

[@vickinoeske1154]

The print of the dog vacuuming kills me! So funny and cute.😊❤

[@eddreemiles5459]

I understand your vision I think with the new skylight in the wood it adds a whole new dimension and look to the home and I think those wooden benches are gonna be awesome

[@CleoHarperReturns]

Much as I loved those embroidered armchairs, I knew with your chair addiction they wouldn't last.😁 As for *my* chair addiction I'm happy to see what comes next! Good afternoon, lovely Elise.❤

[@EliseBuch]

They were really dark, over romantic for my taste right now and took up sooo much space to have just four people seated, it was time to try something else. 🥰 Thanks!

[@user-gq3ip8kr5r]

It looks amazing! ❤ You worked your butt off!! You're a great inspiration!! Please tell me how you get your energy! It must be the iced coffee ☕️ I can see that you're constantly thinking up new ideas at those thrift shops. It's fun watching you bring all of your ideas together.

[@denisemeredith2436]

I trust your process Elise because you have a good eye. A storage bench is a great idea. We all need a change sometimes (I need to switch my living room about and I wish I had your eye). I thought your thrift shop finds were great (sorry the gold plate broke). Am loving your new pillows too and the new things for your shop. I hope you have a great weekend and that summer decides to return (it was so cold on Thursday night that I put my central heating on..brrr).

Absolutely love the bench! Beautiful piece of furniture you found and the storage is wonderful!!!! Makes the room feel so cozy and with the gorgeous olive tree too!!! You are SUCH an inspirational young woman. You have worked SO extremely hard and should be SO proud. I love how big and open the room is now with the bench in the corner and the sitting chairs are an amazing idea to make that room a double purpose room now. I definitely trust your process, Elise. You are my favorite youtuber. You are the most hard working and inspirational content maker and I have been a huge fan of yours for years. I love the gorgeous dresses I ordered from you and I keep the little Bohemian Wonders card that came in the meticulously packed box on my fridge. You do you, Elise! Remember, it's you who has done all of this work and who has gotten the huge following that you have! Nobody else but you. Continue to trust your instincts. I am so proud of you. Seeing people's negative comments after you've worked yourself half to death made me so mad. Xoxoxo Sending love and good wishes your way from Canada. Take care.

Agree that the bench doesn't quite work unless by painting it, it bcomes magical. I do like that final color. Will watch things evolve. No matter what, all very fun Elise!

[@katemoore6249]

I will withhold judgement on the Cafe table and benches until it is painted. But, I was sad to see the other table and chairs go. They are beautiful!

[@EliseBuch]

It is the old table just without the extra pieces hehe

[@lisai8455]

I like that you're exploring new ways to furnish your home and live the colors. I will say that the new dining set is quite small but an assymetrical gallery wall behind it would give it height and cool drama. Your house is so bright and cheery. 🌸

[@alisonauchterlonie8212]

You did it! It looks absolutely gorgeous. ❤

[@heatherburrill]

Can’t wait to see how it all comes together ❤ I love that you try new things - and especially when it is out of the comfort zone of some of your viewers, bringing extra drama to the final reveal. I was so hopeful for that Mexican sunset … but it did end up too pink and drab when dry. The final colour you showed is warm and bright - I can see it working. If you have a bit of fabric that is the exact colour that you want a lot of places can match it perfectly. Have a fun weekend and week with further transformations. Beautiful swallow hook ❤

[@tlb1067]

It’s looking very cozy, although I must say I’m surprised you went so casual. I expected a larger, slightly more formal dining room vibe! Does this little table open up to accommodate your friends and family for holidays, etc.?? Those skylights are EVERYTHING! Your vision for them was spot on. They really change the entire front area. 🤎

[@EliseBuch]

I wanted a solution right under the skylight, so I can enjoy the windows. The table is the old one, so it's just without the two extention pieces right now, but I'm not sure I'll keep it tho :)

[@janicerepass6996]

[@samiyaferguson9177]

I really love the wooden bench! I personally would stain it deep walnut but for your style a soft green color with dainish flower motif would be so pretty ❤

[@raneemilliman7130]

I think the last sample had a nice tint of orange to it. You don't want too orange. My mom painted her kitchen with a brighter orange and put up wallpaper on one wall. This was ages ago. I teased her and said people were going to call the fire department because it was so bright and orange looking, they might think it was on fire.

[@ml9508]

The corner bench has picnic table vibes. Knotty pine is a beast to paint but I appreciate your confidence in transforming it into something lovely. I hope it works out.

I am definitely getting 70's /early 80's vibes from your corner bench and round table. We used to have similar when we were young. I love that it has storage. Above our table and benches we had a pull down ceiling light which was like a dome, very 1970's. If you google "1970's retractable pull down ceiling lamp shade light" you will see some like it. 😀💕
