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.

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.

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

[@daisydukes8252]

[@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 ❤

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

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.

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!

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

[@SherriCalosso]

I absolutely adore the bench and table set up ! It’s so good. Charming, welcoming and it makes me want to sit for hours talking, playing cards and games and sharing a meal !

[@BrendaStinson-f6m]

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.

[@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! 🤩

[@maxinebaskerville6020]

[@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! :)

[@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.

[@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.

[@suziel6588]

It is fun to go shopping and re imagine your space...I am currently flipping all rooms in my house and no one sees my vision...but one person...my eight year old grandson...he is getting his own room 😂🤣...do not listen to the nay sayers...I await 😊

[@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.

That's what I thought too!

[@calypso4554]

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

[@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! 😍

[@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. ❤

[@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.

[@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!

It is the old table just without the extra pieces hehe

I didn’t realize she was asking any of us to judge her decor choices. I am enjoying watching her style evolve. I remember watching her remove the leaves from her table in a previous video to turn it back into the round version

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!

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.

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 🤷

Hiya Elise. Love seeing you so happily enjoying decorating your home, how you want it! Much love x Nell.

Elise, i enjoy watching you create a style that is yours alone. I wish others could understand that its your style not theirs.

[@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 ❤❤❤.

[@JustynaF]

I really like your style; the way you mix vintage, romantic and boho items in your house makes it unique and magnificent 👌👌👌🥰🥰🥰

[@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!

[@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 ❤️

[@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.

[@katem3961]

Your dining area gives me 70s vibes now 🧡🤎

[@c.c.126]

You might want to paint the table with an undercoat of white so the colours can turn out the colour you’re hoping for. 😊

[@SusanCrichton-ob6ew]

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

[@drummerlovesbookworm9738]

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 :)

[@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!!!

[@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!

[@thisisfelicity]

Hey Elise, I don't get why people get so upset over your corner bench. I cannot wait to see how your dining area turns out, and how it might evolve over time. One thought that came to my mind while watching was that the scale/proportions seem a little off. I wondered how the space would feel if you placed the corner bench a bit off the wall. So that you can walk around it. A big rug might balance out the zones of the living room, too. Anyhow, just my inital thoughts. I enjoy your videos so much, they are my Friday treat after a long week in my workshop. Love from Hamburg, Felicitas

[@kathleenmayer2729]

Hove you tried the bar cart between the two chair? I think in front of the brass mirror, it;s too much brass on brass and lines being lost in the mirror. Just a thought. Love your channel. Be proud of yourself. So many victories in such a short time, BRAVO!

[@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

[@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! ❤

[@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.

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.

[@susanma4899]

Agree, it reminds me of a restaurant. At this point I am not a fan, but we'll see! One thing I've always loved is when a dining table has wingback chairs at the ends and/or a settee instead of a bench (or banquette). The settee acts as a banquette. Of course it's not for everyone, not for people w small kids and the settee must be the right height and width. My own dining area is sadly too small to do this.

[@opinionated2]

I was really disappointed (shocked, actually - sorry!) when I saw that table. I think if you can afford it, a table of better quality would be the right move.

[@hospitalfood6621]

The table can be the same with work…paint, cushions, decor touches on and around the bench….just wait…..👍❤
