CHALK PAINTING A RUG : Adventuring Family of 11

[@smurfdog22]

That rug would look so cool in my classroom and my kiddos I teach would love it too. And the colors are fabulous, Megan. You truly have a gift in making junk look absolutely amazing!

[@lipikamitra4521]

Hi meghan nd mike.. i love meeting ur family virtually through ur vlogs. I have a request.. can you please vlog inside your house showing us what all the kinds are upto.. i know just updated us upon dem but i m missing dere cooking playing nd crafting fun moments... Nd i m missing u in d kitchen making yummy food.. its been a lot of garage nd shop videos lately. Please accept my request. Love u😘

[@alliel9970]

agreed- I thought i'd heard that Megan was starting a different channel for her shop stuff, the videos are all Megan lately. Miss seeing the family.

[@Ginge1164]

It may be due to the Myka Stauffer situation. She may have ruined it for a lot of KZbin family channels as people are going crazy for change right now when it comes to children on KZbin. I really hope it doesn’t impact on this families vlogs because they are great parents and genuinely kind hearted people. This is the only family channel I watch on KZbin. They are real and authentic but that 1 person can ruin it for many. I hope that isn’t the case they are keeping the children off KZbin but it must be a difficult situation for Meg and Mike. I will always support you guys anyway

[@vickylin5126]

The store looks amazing. It actually looks like a living room to a real house! Love the pegboard wall! One and only in the store.

[@chongyee2187]

Love ur family ,great to see u guys are being urself in such public channel which is pretty precious Hope everything goes well in ur family Stay Healthy and Happy

[@jenniferried1954]

Wow! The shop looks so inviting! And the way you painted the rug will be the perfect addition to the shop too😁

[@smurfdog22]

I really like that pink and blue dresser in your shop, Megan! You are such a good upcycler and your husband Mike is good with woodworking and all that he does.

[@stacyandrongriffin1574]

Not many videos on chalk painting an area rug, so thank you for the demonstration. How has it held up if you don't mind my asking?

[@vanessaleroux777]

The shop looks amazing! 😁👏🇿🇦

[@gthornton3]

If we are ever in y’all’s neck of the woods I’ll be sure to stop into your shop. LOVE YOUR SHOP. BTW been watching y’all’s channel for a very long time. Stay safe.

[@KnorppandSouth11]

[@djterry1218]

The shop is coming along nicely! Great job!👏🏼👍🏼

[@maryeddy1095]

Impressive!!♡ Megan you have keen eye for color and pattern. Just lovely on shop set up and all your craftmanship.

[@emilydean2748]

I'd love to know if this rug is holding up or not. Thanks for sharing!

[@sueburgess105]

The shop is looking fabulous! I love the over dying of the rug. I fancy giving that a try. Inspirational Megan, that’s what you are! Xxx

[@aubreyking6299]

I love you guys and brad mondo so when i saw you in his video i was dyyyinngg.

[@SuperSunshinesue]

[@sayloraks9334]

Your family is truly amazing and inspiring! Keep up the awesome work!

[@amarigeorge]

✨ I woke up to see this beautiful video! ✨

[@lizrach4159]

Love seeing you have fun with this and experimenting. No one knows what they are doing when they start anything, not really. Good on you. Your furniture is looking fantastic. The rug will be a lot of fun in that space. xx

[@anbittersweet]

Brad mondo reacted to the hair cut. That’s awesome. He is so fun to watch.

[@gracelonas2930]

Thanks for doing that Megan! I have been dying to try painting a rug that I have. I just may do it now!

[@11bluerosexoxo]

ooo the rug looks so illumined! like a sunrise! also your shop looks so fun! if i was there i would have bought the llama plate:)

[@tinabrown5145]

Megan don't doubt you own creative genius!! I think most of us watching you just keep thinking WOW WOW why didn't I ever think of doing that. I still just stare in awe at your shelving unit in your living room!!! Indoorsy is already looking great and I know you will keep CREATING-DECORATING-PAINTING. Now with Mike's assistance he gets to discover more of his creative genius too!! BTW so really cute terrarium's sell great and can hang in your shop they are big hits!!

[@charliecat536]

Good luck with your new business venture. Good to see that the children are all doing well. Any word on the house you bought?

[@KnorppandSouth11]

In our next video!

[@katiebing3162]

I have scraps from a carpet that I want to make my own hallway runner rug and I have chalk paint. My concern is what happens if a child spills water on it? Will it bleed?

[@JoannaM4]

Can you give us any updates on the house you bought. Have not heard about that In Awhile ❤️

[@KnorppandSouth11]

In the next video!

[@brendalee97]

Wowww you and Mike are amazing!!! So creative and talented 👍🏼👍🏼😀love watching your vlogs very inspiring 🥰

[@DiligentProsperous]

It happens every time for me. You start your project and I think to myself I don’t really like it. Then.... it’s always FANTASTIC!! You did really amazing with your store the whole look of it. You are really talented with interior design and with all your projects. Mike is really doing a great job with everything he has been building. What a great team. 🥇 You said you don’t really know what your doing but actually you really do. :-)

[@cookiewm]

Great job on the shop.

[@cuedan8700]

Your store looks beautiful! All your hard work is worth it if you enjoy doing it... you are so creative!!! Congratulations;)

[@Judymontel]

Wow - that peg board wall is such a good idea. I loved hearing about how the children are keeping busy these days. I'm curious about how Eve's schooling is going, what type of school work she does, how she likes it and how far along she is with various skills, if you feel ok with sharing that. Thanks for your videos!

[@kerihatgirl8990]

You became famous with your home haircut. I guess that is something you can download, save and show to your grandchildren someday. My husband is the family barber and stylist, I take a seat every couple months and get my hair trimmed and my two teen boys get their haircuts every three weeks as they are picky about their hair. We had a couple friends of mine stop by Saturday afternoon to grill some burgers on the deck. As we were chatting, my best friend asked hubby to give her a trim on her mid back length hair. No big deal, she has had him trim her hair several times. My other friend mentioned that she needed her hair cut as her bangs in her eyes and the mullet thing she has on the back of her neck was driving her crazy. It had been four months since her last haircut, and she asked if hubby had cut short hair as it is harder than trimming long hair. I pointed out that he cuts my boys’ hair, she said they look really good, so can I get mine cut too? So she took a seat, hubby caped her and asked her how she wanted her hair cut. She said short on the back and sides, a couple inches longer on top. He asked if she was ok with him using the clippers on her hair and she said that her stylist would do part of her haircuts with them. So he got out the clippers and went to town cutting the back and sides short using different attachments. He took the attachment off and used the clippers over the comb on the top and to blend the shorter hair on the sides with the longer hair on top, there was a lot of hair rolling down the cape and piling up on the deck, he finished up with the peanut clippers to do her neckline. My son cleaned it up with the shopvac. He took off the cape and she felt her head, wow! That feels good with all that hair gone. She went to the bathroom to check in the mirror and I handed her a hand mirror to check the back. She was very happy with the results, she said that he did a better job than her stylist that charges her $40. We didn’t take any videos, but maybe we should next time and we can be famous too.

[@bonnied3550]

Your shop is coming along nicely. I think you should worry less about how to package it all, as say an “Instagram photo”. Be yourself, express your design and it will be amazing.😃👍🏼 What is “perfect”?? I think it’s through our imperfections is what makes things that much more special.❤️ Your doing awesome❤️ been following your family since before you started your RV journey-:). I know you have answered a few peeps on the house buying and said it will be in tomorrow’s video...I have a thought as many might to ponder and maybe you have already thought, especially now that you have opened this new business venture. I first thought to suggest needing a warehouse of sorts but I’m also thinking that “Family is important so why not think about finding property where you could build a pole barn of sorts? Maybe even have a small shop there, so you don’t have to be away or transport items to a location or maybe just have the one that you have found currently in addition to. This way your kids could still be involved, maybe have a space for them and their design creativity. Create different rooms within for painting, cutting wood for dust control, finishing, maybe one of He kids would have an interest in working with metal?? etc. Maybe a music/ Podcasting space. Don’t think the house needs to be to large, it’s more about space to be creative. For Daniel and or any of the others that want to take up cooking a kitchen that can be certified to cook and sell food from??? Maybe a special creative space for Eve to allow for her to be creative and expressive??Anyways just a few thoughts/ideas. There are so many possibilities and your family sticking together, there is no telling what the future holds...look forward to seeing the journey😃👍🏼

[@rebeccaalbrecht771]

Yay! a new video from my favorite KZbin Family!

[@MsDianaJean]

I love that rug. So happy! As always, I’m inspired. The workshop y’all are gonna need to build at the new house is gonna be bigger than your tiny(ish) house. 🤣

[@caropapa]

Wished I lived that close New Zealand too far away, the carpet has given me an idea as I have an old Persian rug that's seen its days around the edge due to a log falling out of an open fire and singeing the edge.

[@thrifty_wifemomma_of2331]

Check out Brick clips on amazon. You can easily hang stuff on brick without making holes 👍🏼😊

[@ilikepineappleonpizza4257]

Yay I'm first and I'll enjoy the video now! Thank you for your entertainment! Btw I love your family ❤️!

[@michelledouglas6538]

I love all the work you are doing for your shop! You have created some great pieces. I was wondering if you and Andrew will be doing anymore episodes of Rocking the Cradle? That podcast was so much fun!

[@TinaReutin]

I‘d love to see a video how you organize: selling in a shop, selling essential oils, producing, editing and posting content for your social media platforms, shopping and cooking for 11, renovating lil house, moving out of rental, finding and fixing up atelier/workshop, helping kids with un- and home-schooling, and buying and spiffing up the antiques and thrift stuff. I‘m a-mazed. Pls. give tips to time management, if possible. In any case, I‘m enjoying the vids and am looking forward to the further adventures.

[@shannonerickson6076]

Everything looks so nice! Are your landlords going to be upset about the damage to their garage floors? 😬

[@jankasidlo5142]

Haven't you seen that they have used protection on the garage floor?

[@TLAR24]

Try tying the bottom string of your mask higher on the head. Make it so the stings cross (X). The shop is looking awesome.

[@tashc6213]

The shop and rug look so pretty!

Are you not doing the oils anymore?

Beautiful space!! What city are you located in? I want to find a smaller but like vibe like an open art flat for a live work space hahahah

[@mshockey73]

Looking really good!! Love the way the rug came out:)

[@jmbroom33]

Gonna miss the mop top. I was interested to see how long you'd go before a hair cut Megan. The shop looks fantastic. I also love the desk you gave to Andrew.

[@chillvibes3815]

[@munchiemunchie2010]

Your booth looks beautiful Megan

[@TheThriftyGma]

Megan... am loving your artistic touch on everything. Can you please show us which paint brushes you are using for both the chalk paint and the waxes?. Thanks !!!!. Sending virtual safe distancing hugs from way over here on the west coast of Canada !. 💝

[@sandystoner3352]

Love how you are setting up the booth Megan! It looks so clean and organized..thats exactly what would bring me in. I love your adventurous ways and that you aren't afraid to think out of the "normal" paint colors box but yet you know enough to let those pieces that should remain their natural wood color alone. It is SO great to see Elijah again in the vlogs. After all this horrible stuff going on in the country it was SO nice to wake up to a vlog from my favorite family this morning! 😁❤

[@reneekowalski7006]

How do you homeschool with the new business venture?

[@wendyweaver8749]

Renee Kowalski - They did a video (about an hour long?) a few months ago that explains how the children are 'unschooled' and why. Several have attended public schools for a year or two and they describe why and how each child responded to structured schooling.

[@amymauzy1691]

Are you going to paint your peg board wall? That would be amazing

[@KnorppandSouth11]

I think so!

[@preservid]

Love the shop! I was wondering How the new house is going?

[@CustomPortraitArtist]

The shop looks great! I love all the color as an illustrator. Are your landlords mad that your getting paint all over the floor of their garage?

[@patassion]

I would like to see the terrariums

[@jeannebrinkman8889]

I did a chalk mural and made like a home made milk paint 25 years ago for a Christmas program. Colors still look great. 😊

[@KnorppandSouth11]

Awesome!

[@janellmichael2166]

Maybe you could use 3M removable hooks on your permanent wall. That way you won't put any holes in the wall and you can change it whever you need to.

[@natasha7387]

As an SEN teacher I am shocked at how you refer to Eve’s needs as ‘limitations’.

[@julesdavis8254]

natasha 7 Eve could not have a more stimulating environment or parents that have could of encouraged and extended her development more. Lay off, your not shocked, you may have preferred a different expression but don’t guilt trip loving parents.

[@Julie-dr1my]

How many videos of The Knorpps have you seen? Eve has advanced so much with their support. The Knorrp children tend to self direct their studies. I think the only thing that was meant by the comment “limitations” is that Eve needs more structure and support with her learning. That is a fact and in no way a criticism of Eve or her potential to learn. They have tried different environments and styles of learning for Eve and I think they should be given the respect that they know her best

[@tammy4him42]

First of all , thank you for caring enough for our kids to become a SEN teacher, what a tough job! However, Please don’t think that “teaching” special needs children is in any way the same as raising them and meeting their daily needs. 24/7 is VERY different from 1 hour a week with them. I am a mother of 3 special needs kids and I absolutely cannot bare to see someone doing the best they can to meet their kids needs be criticized by someone who does not walk in their shoes. Please think before you offer unsolicited advice.

[@gracelonas2930]

Hi sumers it is so good to see yous having fun with your family that are visiting your sisters friend slash may be boy friend is a good good one may be he is a keeper say hi to all and have a wonderful time family are every thing god bless your friend grace

[@coralynn1135]

Would you mind sharing how you do (if you do?) bedtime for younger kids? Things are not working well using the same status quo we have used for years around here and I feel like I need some fresh ideas and inspiration to think outside the box. I really appreciated your unschooling video and y'all seem like the people to ask. :)

[@frugalmomofmany]

Is this The Depot at Gibson Mills? I LOVE that place!

[@Lisa-bu5cf]

Had to check out Brad Mundo's video. Saying Esther was 10 🤦‍♀️🤣 left a comment over there telling everyone to check out your videos. Love the way the shop is coming along x

[@PaulaBristow]

I thought the same thing! Esther will appreciate when she’s 40 and people think she’s still in her early 30’s!

[@JV-cn2es]

Does the chalk pain transfer to socks and clothing? OR does it not transfer?

[@technologycansuchit8156]

How is the rug holding up??

[@lukethomas658]

I just downloaded iNaturalist; I'm always taking pics of stuff and trying to match it up to books when I get home. Andrew's hair is getting epic. *sigh* For some reason, it makes me sad you have to put in qualifiers about joking about Jude walking out of the woods. Btw - inspired by your travels (and a desire for low-risk getaway) I'm going camping for the first time since college soon!

[@hairtiecoocoo]

Brad Mondo!!! I saw it!

[@vickibaird36]

Love how the rug turned out! It fits perfectly in your shop!! I watched the Brad Mondo video to see what he said about your quarantine hair cut and I felt so bad when he called Esther a 10 yr old kid! But he did compliment the way she parted your hair and pulled it up. I just love your videos and I wished I lived closer so I could visit your shop!

[@Katie-fv6ej]

Lol you guys were on brad mondos channel???! Hilarious :D he is so good at what he does, whenever I see his reaction vids I can just think how much it pains him to see his passion being done "wrong". I've had haircuts from hairdressers that were about as involved and professional looking as when I have my non hairdresser sister cut it for me...

[@CronicKing1]

what going on with you new home

[@srqlisa7881]

for the kids playing in the woods the channel 'wild report' just put out a vlog 'the six venomous snakes of north carolina. they might find it interesting. I'd ask management who has the best or most sales and visit that booth. Your booth looks good so far, just don't crown the floor space. : ) peace

[@caropapa]

Did the carpet take long to dry?

[@suzannef.5853]

I like your hair just as it is. Not many people can carry off a hairstyle like that! It's fun and youthful. Now on males...the shorn sides with the mop on top is too much for me. They look like q-tips. But with your longer sides it works great for you, Megan.

[@TheThriftyGma]

. Too bad you're not enjoying what Megan has to show us. I personally am enjoying the different processes of how Megan is changing the furniture pieces, and I take away some of the pointers she shows us, and am learning some of her techniques. . Maybe you can find a channel that totally focuses on what you enjoying watching. Good luck 🙂

Your mask is not tied coorectly, that's why it's slipping and that's why you have to readjust it all the time.

[@melly9233]

I'm wondering about the knorpps stance on the black lives matter movement, and the protests going on all over the world concerning the injustices and murders of black people in their own country. It seems somewhat problematic that in the light of the political climate, when all the other non-back KZbinrs on my feed have issued statements stating their allyship and have refrained from posting this week to leave space for black voices to be prevalent that the knorpps have not only posted as normal but have also failed to make a statement. I have watched literally every single video posted to this channel for years, since the beginning of their rv travel, not only because the content is uplifting and unique but also because the values of togetherness and unity within their family and the obvious celebratory nature they meet their children's uniqueness with. I am hoping this comment finds you and you could consider taking the injustices within your home community as seriously as you took the pandemic.

[@amandafromhagen8620]

Just to add a little different perspective- I actually value when not every source of media is a platform for social causes or political stance. There are some channels that exists purely for entertainment and offering a look into their lives, and not to try to be a voice for everyone. I think there can be a place for expression outside of world events, and that some find it refreshing! I, for one, really enjoyed stepping out of the tension and anger and craziness happening right now and just watching someone paint a rug :) not because I’m not deeply moved by what is happening, but because sometimes you just need a little emotional break. But I can totally understand how them not addressing it can seem odd during this time

[@jasonaviator2760]

Melly Why do they need to make a statement? are you intentionally trying to be antagonistic? The injustice and division taking place in the world right now is heart breaking but not every you tuber needs to issue a statement but it doesn’t mean they care any less for the current issues. You only have to look at their diverse family to understand their love and desire for equality for all mankind and the Knorp’s have gone further in their actions for love, peace and equality than any ‘stance’ through a statement could possibly ever achieve,. It seems to me you are trying to cause an argument where there isn’t one and that your post is more about letting the world know what an exemplary person you are. Let us know when you have adopted children with health issues from a totalitarian state in order to provide a secure, loving and stable family life. I think that is a statement in its own right.

[@melly9233]

MLK said "The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the good people."

[@jasonaviator2760]

Melly well you can hide behind quotes all you like, I will just reiterate that the Knorps have far from been silent, they have taken more practical action to support love, fellowship and diversity than probably you or I and many others put together.

[@KnorppandSouth11]

We are super sad about all that is going on in the world and the country. We knew that people of color had challenges and inequalities but the events of the past few months have been heartbreaking and have given us even greater sadness and understanding about how different their challenges have been. We haven’t spoken out because we don’t have any answers and are letting people who know more and who do have answers speak. We are listening and praying and searching ourselves as to what we can do in our daily lives and in our community to make this world safer and happier.

[@Rylinabee]

Is there a reason on why you have been silent on social media about the black lives matter movement? You have a large following and it is up to us to educate the white community on everything going on right now. Take yourselves out of your comfort zone, educate yourselves and support your black subscribers and followers!!! #blacklivesmatter

[@user-ot1jo2mp3h]

Why are you wearing a mask when you are with a family member and not out in public?
