Interior Paint Colors for Florida Home

[@commonsenseuniversitydoesn8559]

Elizabeth is always a basket of sunshine. She is grateful for her blessings. And you can see her excitement of being able to decorate the house. I'm happy for them both.

[@lindawatmore3321]

I suggest you get some saddle soap to clean your sofa for it works better on leather and it feeds the leather.

[@ilovelucy7073]

So so happy for you ! Elizabeth, I love a porch too. When we moved into out house 36 years ago my husband put a porch on for me. The owner said it can’t be done because our house is to low. I didn’t say anything but said to myself you don’t know my husband. That summer he put a front porch on a sunroom in the back and new windows in and new roof. 😀 I thank God for my wonderful husband and all his blessings. I can’t wait to see all you do to your home 🏡

[@judilogan4661]

I know over in Ala they have great thrift shops to sort through for furniture! So fun! I would LOVE to thrift shop for a whole house! Restore has gorgeous furniture up here in Ohio! Have fun! I wish my 2 sons would be half as helpful as Barry is to you! You are so blessed!

[@marthawilliams7012]

Elizabeth sounds like a kid at Christmas time. Glad to see her able to get out and enjoy herself. Take your time Bill and get some much needed rest.

[@judyherman1249]

My Aunt has a room for her office, and when she has overnight guests, she puts the Murphy Bed down. Now I understand that they can be expensive but with your building skills you could make one for both office rooms. You may have to buy the spring hinges, but it would be worth having more space in your office when you don't have company staying overnight.

[@mariannereno8501]

Murphy beds are fantastic!

[@tisad6130]

Great idea! Wish I had a Bill and a Berry 😅. So excited for you both.

[@nancyprice1481]

With all the retirees in Florida, there are lots of estate sales and usually second day things are hslf price.. Also Murphy beds are real popular down here. I see lots of them at estate sales.

[@trudycash94]

Bunk beds can be twin beds right with your knee might not climb down off the top bunk

[@TPayne-fm8ie]

I am so happy for you two. A long time ago I found you on KZbin and posted my story of being a contractor and losing everything in the 2008 recession, like you. Our family has since recovered financially and have been praying for you to prosper. It looks like hard work and frugality is paying off and your dreams are coming true.

[@mariaejasso5115]

Love your plans for your Florida home. Bill, listen to Elizabeth, with regards to getting some rest and let your leg heal. God bless both of you. ♥ 🙏

[@Gayle.M]

Have you thought about a Murphy bed for bill’s office? Some of them are sophisticated enough to have shelves (or other stuff) on the ‘bottom’ of the bed, when you deploy the bed, you don’t have to remove stuff from the shelves.

[@phyllismcdowell7265]

I couldn't be happier or more excited for you! Your house is very homey and your plans for it sound great. I think that your front porch is fantastic. Shopping for thrifted items can be an adventure in itself, especially if you are not in a hurry. I prefer to buy furnishings that way.

[@CVenza]

Sounds like quite a plan. I didn't know the RRR'S really meant rest, relax, remodel. Just think what flowers/plants you can have in pots on that porch. The new house seems to look in better shape than when you first showed it so that is good. Thrifting & antiquing is so much fun especially if you get great bargains. Happy painting! 🎨🖌 ❤

[@judithcoe7551]

I can tell how excited Elizabeth is in picking out paint colors and furnishings and curtains! I'm excited for you both also! Congratulations Bill and Elizabeth! Saddle Soap works excellent on leather goods. Maybe Murphy's oil soap also! How exciting!

[@patriciabrackett4402]

Excellent

[@spoly8139]

Wow Elizabeth the colors you chose are gorgeous!! I also love that the floors will be sanded down and left a light oak. That will make the entire house airy and modern looking which is perfect for a Florida home. You're going to have so much fun watching the house transform...and we will too! Thanks for taking us along. Be blessed! ❤🌴

[@betsyoman7173]

Regarding the bunk beds: Don't "bunk" them! Don't stack them on top of each other while you need to sleep in them. We had beds in college that were able to be stacked or not stacked. They had 4x4 posts with steel or iron pins to hold them together. It was safe enough for college kids, so it must be safe! The whole college had beds like that.

[@susangantzler7786]

We are all so excited for your new adventure ! ❤ You both have worked so hard and deserve all the best .Enjoy your sunshine !

[@laurieclark2456]

Your voice is so soft and pretty. Live your smile. Thx for taking me along - glad your keeping that chair railing.

[@Cinderdiane]

That sounds like so much fun! I can tell this project brings new life to Elizabeth’s heart!

[@cindyjo9093]

You'll love your porch. We spend a lot of time on our back porch. You will want to have Bill make you a couple of bird feeders. They will give you hours of pleasure watching a variety of birds feed. Maybe a bird bath, too! I'm so happy for you. You found a nice home.

[@thecrankyoldretiredlady5237]

One for the hummers especially. : )

[@bl8680]

So happy for you both 😊❤ Elizabeth is beaming with joy and Bill beams back looking at Elizabeth 💗 Praying for a smooth transition and safe travels for Barry. And yes, Elizabeth, we women understand the happiness of making a house a home my friend. Love you guys ❤ Barbara, your mutual Florida neighbor 😊

[@ldydi00008]

Bill and Elizabeth. After you paint the house take a day trip to the gulf and visit the sponge docks in TarponSprings. Elizabeth will love going through all the little shops.

[@Koolala75]

LOVE THIS!!!!!! I love everything about you dear Elizabeth and Bill. This video is wonderful, I especially love the opening music and excited about seeing what you do. Showing us the paint samples was too adorable!

[@joanharris8057]

I am so happy that you were able to get your snowbird home! You have worked hard and sacrificed to make this possible. We look forward to seeing the updates on the house and seeing you explore Florida.

[@IMOO1896]

You guys deserve to have your Florida snowbird home. Who doesn’t love a porch! My precious home had covered porches on both front and back, and I really miss them. Happy for y’all to get some relief from winter.😊

[@southerngal7899]

Oh Elizabeth, those colors are beautiful, especially your room. So glad y'all aren't using beige. My home is beige and it's so depressing. Beige is sooo hard to decorate, too. I'm a gray person and like lots of colors. So happy for y'all. Good to see Bill walking on that leg, too. Y'all have a good time in FL. TC 🙏🙏✝️

[@gwendolynjulien4851]

It will be very pretty, when you get your plans for decorating done. I am so happy for you. Keep busy, it keeps you young.

[@ljjackson7106]

Your excitement is contagious! Love your color selections! Yipee another project of wild anticipation!! Enjoy this exciting time, I know I am!!!

[@marianneprescott1497]

I lived in Florida for over 20 years and they have wonderful “junk” stores. I always furnished my houses using them and antique stores always. I had great fun doing it. Enjoy yourself Elizabeth, have a blast junking.

[@paddlegal3097]

Colors look beautiful. This will be fun! Bill wouldn’t know what to do without a project. Make him rest Elizabeth.

[@fjbutter1813]

LOVE your color choices! It will really brighten up the home. My favorite spot would be the front porch, especially since you can see the sunrise! Sitting outside, enjoying the weather, knowing that you are missing out on winter up north!

[@kateburk2168]

I live in Lake County-north & west of Orlando. Grew up in another peninsula so I know about cold winters. Not sure where you found your snowbird house but I would suspect it's within 50 miles of us. We moved from Miami and in early 80s we 'enjoyed' an unexpected freeze on Christmas morning. Awoke to no water. Thankfully, we had a plant nursery across the road & obtained a couple PVC fittings, remedied the problem and was able to have a great day without resorting to call the wellman out at a hefty price tag. If you have your own well, and it's in the open, may wish to build a structure for it and when freeze is expected, leave bathroom & kitchen faucets on a slow drip while you sleep at night. And when possible out thrifting, look for sheets & light weight blankets to keep just for yard plants you put in that can be knocked back with a freeze. We cover certain plantings when the night temps get down in the 30s. Like pineapple & ornamentals that are more geared for slightly warmer places. Hope you find pleasure in all phases of making your new winter home!

[@KaquolMeliReno]

Elizabeth is so beautiful, I love her smiles! Congratulations on your snowbird house!

[@hamsonthehill]

I think this is awesome. I can see how tickled Elizabeth is about the house and that makes me smile. Take care of yourselves.

[@leisacarnahan7647]

So happy for you. I is nice that you are in a position to do this for the both of you. Don't overwork yourself Bill, you need your leg to heal properly.

[@ruththomas6361]

Love the house and the porch. Having projects is what keeps us young. Enjoy!

[@lisaadkison8734]

So happy for you both.My brother lived in St. Augustine for almost 20 yrs and I would go down every summer and traveled up to an hour in all directions to all the small little towns in land. He had a house boat at St.johns river .WE would also do day trips to Daytona ,Tampa and Orlando.Our uncle had an office in Ocala another nice town.Your house is awesome.

[@MTknitter22]

Your Bill making your second house dream come true too Elizabeth. You are so blessed sweetheart. It is going to be absolutely GORGEOUS!!!

[@shirleymurphy1958]

So so happy for you both ! God is so good ! Take it easy on yourself Bill . The colors are beautiful .

[@lisapitts9518]

We just moved into our new home after being in an apartment for many years. I am keeping myself on a budget and slowly fixing our home up. Goodwill & Dollar General has become my go to places.

[@alisonshanahan9529]

Love the colours you chose! My house has those chair rails throughout too. We've used a creamy white on the top half, grey and golden brown on the base. The chair rails are a stained timber like the door frames and skirting boards. If possible I'd install a larger shower unit using the entire width of the bathroom. I envy you the opportunity to potter around the antique and goodwill stores, such fun.

[@sallymarshall4199]

You are so sweet Elizabeth love your perpetual smile! Enjoy your new home inside and out with your man!

[@mayvis598]

Good things come for those who wait on the Lord. Yes, you have been blessed. Love your Florida home. Thrifting is a wonderful way to furnish and decorate your home. There are great treasures out there. Elizabeth, you are genuinely such a sweet person, love watching your kindness, gratefulness, and excitement. You are truly at peace. Happy for you both. Take care and be Blessed.

[@joytotheworld2100]

You both look so happy. Elizabeth, your looking much better. I wish I was there to join you in your second hand hunt. Kitchens are my specialty as I have bought used kitchen set ups for 4 people.Saving money & being frugal are my thing. Your livin the dream kids.

[@NanaMom104A]

Seeing your smiles and knowing how happy you are is so great!

[@KM00Youtube]

This is going to be fun for you both and exciting for us to watch as you pull everything together. Looking forward to the process with Bill and Barry as they repair, paint and update the new winter home. So happy for you both! Nice start to the new year! 🥰😎

[@MartyCan]

Welcome to wonderful Florida! I am an 8th generation Floridian. We live in the southernmost part of Jacksonville, just across the creek from St Johns County (St Aug) and we have a 2nd home in the mountains of NC. We stay in FL for the required 6 months for homestead exemption on RE tax. In the hot summer months, we head to our house in the cool mountains. We do go back to FL for 2 weeks every 2 months to check on things and for dr appts. It’s wonderful!

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

😊👍🏼

[@dutchgram3799]

I'm happy for you both. When the construction work is done you both can sit on the porch with you iced tea and a good book and just enjoy it. I myself am the kind of person that prefers to look for used furniture. It's the hunt and finding something special that gives me so much pleasure. I pray that you will be able to enjoy your snow bird nest for many years.

[@paulaanthis4031]

SO happy for you two in this lovely new winter home! God’s timing and provision of that renovation/flip home and extra income to open the way for this winter home purchase is a tru blessing. Elizabeth looks better and I know we are all praying for further health improvements for you both. What a joyful experience is unfolding before you both. Praying the painting project will go very well and looks like it will be delightful. Am excited about the beautiful oak hardwood floors! We refinished similar floors in my parent’s home with a clear finish that stayed clear! Be careful as many supposedly clear finishes will turn reddish yellow. We used latex Varathane on self sanded 100 year old pine floors in a rental with absolutely excellent results and a super lasting finish. Aged oak hardwood is THE best!

[@stephaniewillson9383]

Your enthusiasm is huge!!! This is giving you a fire inside!!!

[@Mrsmadison45]

So happy for you all, I know you can't be more excited than to be in Florida 🐙🐬

[@ef5842]

What a great example your plans are, that all of us can learn from. You've come a long way since you demonstrated the tiny stove.

[@lindayaya59]

I love that elizabeth beams; she's so excited.

[@mariagaddis5134]

Yes Elizabeth I know how you feel my husband and I are building a house and I am doing what you are choosing colors for the different rooms as well as the whole house inside and out, it is fun. Looking forward to hearing the update from the pulmonologist it will be great to hear his thoughts on what is going on and what he has planned out to do!

[@jenpattenaude9421]

Elizabeth you look terrific! So glad to see you feeling better and you both relaxing and enjoying your new home 🏡 💛💛💛

[@saundrajsimpson9627]

I am so happy to see how excited Elizabeth is about your new adventure. Bill, take your time with the work you have planned and you and Elizabeth make sure to have a couple of ventures seeing some of the beautiful places around your new winter home. Blessings to you both.

[@dianependley3193]

I hope the Florida air continues to agree with you … be careful of the mold in the air that accumulates with the rains and heavy humidity. My husband had some issues but was able to get allergy shots with a pulmonologist. We are retired Army and have lived off and on on the Gulf Coast and love the white sand and emerald waters of the panhandle! We are enjoying the West now in Utah and Montana but plan to get back to the beaches for Winter’s too.

[@maxinebellows741]

Elizabeth makes me smile while watching this. I live full time in Florida. I relocated from Williamsburg, VA!

[@sylviaashworth5851]

I’m so excited for y’all. I’m looking forward to seeing the painting done and the finished job with the cheerful paint colors. I hope y’all can come back in the spring to furnish and decorate it completely. Elizabeth with your health issues you’ve had in 2022 I’m so glad you get the joy of planning, decorating and thrift shopping for y’all second home!! You will turn it into a little doll house. Thanks for taking us along!!! 🤗❤️🙏🤗

[@patriciabrackett4402]

I cannot think of a couple that deserves it more I am so happy for you Bill and Elizabeth Shalom to you you are my brothers and sisters you are Jewish in the spirit May God richly bless you and continue to bless you and may you spend many happy years in your Florida home what a wonderful treat you both earned it that is because you're so faithful to God and he is blessing you beyond your dreams seek ye first the kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you faith is a substance of things hoped for but not seen Noah who is Bill and Elizabeth who is Hannah be blessed be blessed be blessed your Jewish sister I send my love and my prayers to both of you Shalom Patricia

[@kallasusort2986]

Elizabeth you are really good at selecting colors! I did not get that gene. I am so happy for you both - you have worked hard to bring yourselves back up and you once again did it the right way. This makes my heart SING.

[@sueyork3348]

Hearing you tell about your plans and seeing your color choices make me so happy for you both. As you said, you can take your time with the painting and rest or explore in between. It’s just so exciting to see the way the Lord has blessed you with this dream house. And, as always, I can’t wait to see your finished snowbird home!🥰🎉 This is my absolutely favorite channel on KZbin because the two of you have become very dear to me!😊

Elizabeth, you look so happy that you're glowing...the color scheme you selected will be light and airy and uplifting...sooo pleasant, calming and serene. I love your choices!!! And Bill, I am so glad your knee is doing better. Be careful not to re-injure it while working on the house!!! Yes, get some rest and go to St. Augustine and get out of the work mode now and then. Although it will be a lot of work, you have a lot to look forward to. YAY!!! So happy for you. Take good care of your precious lil' selves. Love you guys!

I am soooo happy for you two! Elizabeth your color pallet is beautiful, can't wait to see the project completed. Your new winter home is perfect! I live on Washington and one of my daughter's is in SE Florida. I would love to be a snowbird...maybe someday! So enjoy this journey, thrift shopping to fill your home is really going to be fun.

It warms my heart to see how much love you're showing Elizabeth. I'm so glad you got this cute little cottage in Florida too. Love you guys. Love your color choices Elizabeth, everything should look beautiful!

[@VJWLPN1]

I am so excited for you guys! I can't wait to see the things you have planned implemented into your home. Being a snowbird is really wonderful. We moved to central Fl. from Co. about 20 yrs. ago and although it gets really hot in the summer we love Fl. We have a small camper and plan to maybe get out of Fl. during the hottest months. Elizabeth, you are seem to be glowing! I love it! Bill looks happy too. Again, this is so exciting and I am happy for you both. Enjoy and God Bless.

[@reginacarroll8270]

So happy for both of you! Will be praying for your health and that you get to rest and just do what you want! I love the paint colors you chose Elizabeth. What fun to just take your time to decorate. Love you guys!

[@elainecrise1999]

I am very happy for you both!! The colors you picked out are beautiful Elizabeth!! Can't wait to see all the renovations. Take it slow, and rest when you can. The trip to St. Augustine sounds great in between working so hard!!

Welcome to Florida Elizabeth and Bill. We are retired Army and just south of Orange Park since 2006. Hubby was raise in Pensacola. But our oldest lives about 10 miles away. You mentioned St Augustine. We are about 40 mins west. Do try the Columbia Restaurant and have the 1928 Salad and Cuban bread.

[@Tate123]

What a nice relationship you both have. Good luck with your new beautiful home.

[@primrozie]

Seriously, I didn't realize what a great house that is! Not a fixer upper. I would love it. Following you guys has been quite an interesting journey. One of our sons is a Navy Corpsman in medical school to become a doctor in North Carolina. As the GSM progresses we may find ourselves migrating. Another son has planned for us to move in with him once husband's Parkinson's is in a more advanced stage. I have spinal stenosis and need knee replacements. My asthma has greatly minimized since I've been keto way of eating! No inhaler anymore and only time I have a slight symptom is when I'm sick. So I must have some food allergies? I couldn't be around fumes of any kind either and still can't. My A1C went from 11 down to 6.1 and I'm off the diabetic insulin now. Diabetes is what got me on the change in diet. So, very happy with results. I believe the grains and starches were the main culprits because I eliminated sugar years ago. No fast food or restaurants anymore either.

[@paulaanthis4031]

Am seeing more about how Leto is reversing autoimmune, asthma, allergies, skin conditions and more! Even intermittent fasting seems to help without full blown keto. Dr Berg’s KZbin videos on those subjects have helped increase my stamina a bit and to shed a good amount of the weight I gained from the isolation and immobility necessitated by the pandemic and several Covid variant infections. Am now 75 yo and still alive by God’s grace to be regaining my strength and health.

[@debbiebeam8395]

I just posted to Elizabeth about being on keto. Keto has eliminated a lot of my health issues and I've lost over 50 lb and being on keto helped me take care of my husband even though I have partial club feet, spinal stenosis and osteoarthritis, plus levoscoliosis. Keto is a total life changer and thank goodness you don't have to pay for it like other diets. Dr Ken Berry MD is phenomenal. I got his book 101 wise doctors told me. Elizabeth could make drastic changes just with Keto.

[@primrozie]

@@debbiebeam8395 PTL what an education its been and better than a doctor. I'm about to start the knee injections. The stenosis operation scares me and I dont think i'll do it.

[@primrozie]

@@debbiebeam8395 I also lost 50lbs!

[@debbiebeam8395]

My husband just passed away November 6th and he had multiple left side ischemic strokes. I kept telling him to go on keto with me and he said I wasn't the doctor and he didn't have to listen to me. I said that's true and at the time we had been married over 45 years. It has been a nightmare taking care of him through all The strokes finally he would never listen and had more strokes and finally I told him you need to go on hospice. He didn't want to do anything and it got to be where he was on so many medications. I have three blood clots in my left leg and I wear compression socks every day. The compression socks stopped the three clots from going to my heart lung or brain. Now the clots are all gone and I thank Keto. Hubby is now in God's memory awaiting the resurrection.

[@janicepowers6672]

Elizabeth you are wonderful and so blessed with your adoring husband. Love watching you both. I'm in Florida full time. Maybe we'll meet one day!

[@SharonG-ip3ll]

Those paint colors are beautiful. The stove looks like the same model that my parents recently purchased to replace their old one. I can hardly wait to go thrift shopping with you as you pick out things for your lovely new home.

[@welshstudio9658]

One of the best things about all of your videos is Elizabeth’s smile! I am so happy for you that you found such a delightful little place. With Bill’s skills and Elizabeth’s decorating eye, it will be lovely before you know it. Please take good care of each other. Getting older can have some interesting surprises. Sending blessings. ❤

[@Ladythyme]

If there’s a Big Lots in your area…check it out if you need anything for the house… they have almost anything you could possibly need at great prices… when we couldn’t find things at thrift stores etc. when we needed them, we went there when we bought our house in Florida and it saved us $$$ many times. Furniture; Mattresses, Bedding, Housewares; Foodstuffs, Auto items….You can even order online from them now I think….BTW Great colors!

[@dianefant9486]

I did the same thing when bought my cottage on the lake. It's 1,020 sq. ft. and has a screen porch. I love it here I'm 3. 5 miles from town but I live in the country. I am so blessed to live here. I know just how you feel!

Lovely color choices. I love the idea of Pioneer Woman theme in the kitchen. When you get the rugs, curtains, bed linens, etc it's going to be elegant! Congrats!

[@tonyandrea7613]

Hi Bill and Elizabeth. So nice to see you made it to Florida and are on the pathway to getting your snowbird home all nested up. I have a tough time trying not to give advice about interiors. I am a designer and love to share my thoughts. So here are two suggestions for you to think about. One for the kitchen; think of an accent color and get accessories that will compliment the existing colors in the kitchen, maybe a tropical pattern rug for the floor. For the overall look of your home, you can google "art deco cottage" and see if any of those looks would be good for you. Print any image that appeals to you, keep it in a binder, and take it along with your shopping trip. This will help you focus and put a look together without the frustrations. You may already know these tips, but I could help you suggest them. Have fun. Looking forward to seeing how you put it all together.

[@ruthratliff7531]

The winter home looks great with the color scheme that is already done. Hope that both of you get the rest that your suppose to get. Bill take care of your knee as I know what problems with them turn out to be . Going up and down on a ladder will not be good for him so glad your feeling better. GOD BLESS AND ENJOY YOUR NEW HOME.
