LIVING ROOM + DIY built in cabinets Abandoned Home Project Ep.10 | Elysia English

[@judiewoodward9756]

Love Phillip.Never meet a man who can follow instructions from his wife and smile. Awesome man.

[@cecilehoare3053]

Follows instructions without complaining too! Philip get your damn shoes on when you're using the table saw!

[@Cuernavacachica02]

And he’s also so darned positive with her! The two of them together are amazing.

[@allisonmiller3148]

He took the phrase “happy wife, happy life” completely seriously and it certainly looks like he’s not wrong!

[@barbarastone138]

Ohhh definitely the left! It's color but still neutral and is beautiful with the blue fireplace!!!

[@erikarichardson]

Left lighter neutral for three of the walls, and the darkest right neutral for the fireplace and shelving wall as an accent wall. Less of the darker color will show on the wall with the fireplace, cabinets and shelves, so it won’t darken the room.

[@rebeccapotts133]

This is exactly what I was just about to say. I think that would look amazing.

[@caressacarnes8750]

I agree

[@lornanorris1363]

I agree ✌

[@chrisraven4754]

@@lornanorris1363 me too!

[@susanpierce3755]

I agree

[@bethknight4436]

Choice #1 🤔 in my opinion. Love your French braid skills, very admirable. Love the look of glee on your face as you master new skills, very inspiring. No matter what color you choose for the walls, you will make it work. Go with your gut 💕

[@ElysiaEnglish]

Thanks Beth :)

[@anneg7630]

# 1for sure! All the darker colors in the room will stand out beautifully and white trim will look awesome with that lighter color.

[@amerinethorburn1124]

Light neutral for walls and keep trim a bright white. You guys are a pleasure to watch. You really inspire me to work on my own home projects. Looking forward to the finished project.

[@potterscottagecrafts407]

Fresh white walls Elysia, its near the coast so a costal feel would be better, and use decorative accents to bring in warmer tones. x

[@cathleenweaver6483]

Yes agree with all white walls to get the coastal vibe with the accents ❤💚💜💙💛

[@nancyevans5502]

I agree too😊

[@beckysonnier6369]

Yes, white definitely.

[@margaretbedwell58]

I agree, white walls.

[@bluecurlygirl]

I like colour number one - the light neutral. You guys are doing brilliant.

[@janwood5585]

I vote for color 1, the lighter neutral for sure! The darker shade might make the room look smaller and "basement-ish". The all white option is well, all too much white. Love your go for it spirit and Phil having your back.

[@claudineclaudinehamon2300]

#1 left neutral color for me. The living room is coming along nicely 👌👍 I live the way Philip is agreeing to your cabinetry steps and asking the right questions 😉😉😁😁 You two are gems ✌️✌️ can't wait to see the progress on the living room 😊😊

[@ElysiaEnglish]

Thanks so much

[@vm5610]

I love those drone shots! Your property is amazing! I vote for color number 1.

[@bobbiefrank5043]

The first one is a happy medium it's really pretty. It will give the room a warm feeling.

[@maryhammond1417]

Great to see your smiling face this morning! Three walls white and the fireplace wall left color. This will give your eyes a rest and will highlight the live edge shelves. You do what you do!

[@cbenji2]

I agree the neutral 1, on three walls and white on shelf wall. This gives you the option to change later if you want but cabinetry will always match

[@traceyirwin1954]

The first colour looks really nice with the fire surround 👍

[@lornablencowe1177]

Light neutral as a lot of white already with ceiling, cabinets and skirting, doors and door frames! Good luck!🥰

[@leanneb6622]

Agree

[@darlenescott5213]

I love #1, it’s pretty neutral, I can’t wait to see this room finished, 💖

[@moniquewagner577]

Get that girl a nail gun😉 ..I love your enthusiasm and ideas you really do inspire me.

[@nancydavis670]

Fresh white walls. I painted my kitchen white and love it!! Accent pieces bring it all together.

[@alsmith9956]

I think Phillip needs to write a tutorial on how to be a good husband. I love how he had no issues with following you. 😊❤ My vote is for the left color!

[@kathowens6970]

Here here they make a fantastic team

[@pamjordan1793]

I like the left best. So fun to help you choose colors!

[@tammyfromohio1095]

I like number 1 or far left. It is a beautiful home!

[@natsnest6347]

Maybe I'm wrong but it is my understanding that the far left is numbed 1 😁.

[@robinwoods756]

I love the paint sample #1. This is going to to be gorgeous. From a distance that house is beautiful sitting in the hill you guys did really good picking this one out.

[@Hollybank5]

I like the neutral one on the left . A touch of color but still will make the room look brighter . And your cabinetry skills are spot on for someone who’s never done this before !!! 😊👍

[@barbaradowd4570]

#1 - love the fireplace!

[@judithdanish7545]

#1 definitely!! All coming together! Going to be Beautiful!!

[@valeriethompson6301]

Color left or #1 is my favorite. I think that the live edge shelving will be gorgeous with that paint color. I can't wait to see it all come together.

[@djterry1218]

I am not a fan of white but in this room, I think it is the number one pick. Accent pieces as well as the fireplace will give the pops of color!

[@donnaparent3945]

Love love love the left color!!! It will blend an match so so well with your other choices!! Blessings

[@samcyam]

The blue on the fireplace is lovely, but is quite bright and will be even brighter looking with white. Just my humble opinion...neural colour #1 would be the better choice. 😊 Love this series! 💓

[@theresacurrin6395]

Left side color - lighter one. Great job on cabinets! Using quad for work table 🤣. Love you guys 💗

[@sydneykasmar]

Love watchiing you do these projects. Learning lots and appreciating your design style. You can count on me to be here to cheer you on every step of the way as I know you've got this already.

[@ElysiaEnglish]

Thank you so much!

[@nancyevans5502]

Amen!!!😊

[@margarettallett762]

Ya, what she says!!!

[@daynaserpa9082]

I like the left color for all walls except 1. Then the middle color for an accent wall! Everything is looking great!!

[@cweaver6792]

Definitely the lighter color on the left....... the darker neutral color competes with the blue and will also compete with your wood shelves. Your cabinets are looking great!

[@lorrainewhitlock5377]

I like number one. It is a light neutral and would go well with the fireplace

[@mikellanderson971]

1 will look really good with the fresh white trim and cabinets.

[@roniB262]

Number 1 would look good with the stark white trim and cabinets and the dark fireplace surround.

[@arlenestuber2283]

You have such a sharp design eye ! You will chose the colour that will appeal to you and look the most attractive to your home . Lighting at different times of the day has such an impact on the look and feel of a room . You and your family are the ones that will be enjoying the beautiful home . So go with what ever looks the best at any time of the day. I have enjoyed the videos of your hard work , courage and confidence . You have been an inspiration to so many people . Keep up the wonderful rehab of the majestic historic home .

[@jemma50]

I would go with the lighter neutral on all the walls. :) ♥

[@karenraabis5296]

I love the color on the left. I like the idea that using the dark color as an accent. However I think go lighter. It is so nice to have bright clean colors.

[@norawotton5440]

I like number 1 - it will give you lots of leeway in your decorating options and will look nice with the white trim.

[@pattifitzgerald8567]

Fresh white would really brighten up the room and the fireplace and custom shelving will be the focal point… Keep posting-Love y’all 😃🤟🏻

[@hsepulveda1]

It is so nice to see everything coming together! Love the cabinets!

[@PinkElephantLTD]

Left compliments the Fireplace so amazing! You are so confident it exudes from you. Like a wonderful ray of 🌞!

[@ElysiaEnglish]

aww thank you :)

[@christineduguay3370]

I love the lighter neutral color.

[@joycebarbour1602]

The lighter gray is beautiful!

[@jessiec1044]

I like 1. But you do what you like. Fun vlogs. I love how you and Phillip laugh together. Lovely.🐦

[@karenbrundidge8019]

#1. I'm enjoying these projects every step of the way!

[@lindsayschmidt9536]

#1! Can't wait to see how it all comes together!

[@laura8512]

Neutral color I like best. The dark color will not let the fireplace stand out. But I am sure you will make it work whatever you choose. 🤟

[@phyllismurray525]

I like the left neutral, I think it will just give that warmer feeling and makes a lovely contrast with the white

[@vintagecat7249]

I'm not a fan of white walls generally, however, in this case I'm liking the white contrast to the fireplace.& the built-ins. Whatever you decide will look amazing🤩!! Looking forward to each new layer you uncover as you bring your home to life!! 👍💚🤟🏡

[@joannamills145]

I like the colour on the left - the lighter neutral. Will depend on the day lighting but I feel like it really looks great with the blue on the fireplace and will give the contrast that you want with the trim and white cabinets plus look good with the wood shelves.

[@sharonsova2651]

I can’t wait to see this come together. I think number 1

[@sunniandbill]

I like color 1 with the fireplace. It looks the best. Of course I'm looking through a phone screen.

[@ronapotgieter6288]

So happy to see the family again love the fireplace so far

[@rosemarycooper7857]

I like the lighter neutral #1! Great job on the house you guys, your moving along quickly.

[@josetteschembri9777]

I always look forward to see your progress in your new home.

[@ladykbear]

We have a similar color to the left color.. it makes our living room feel light and airy and so relaxing.

[@susanbarton8969]

Do you think it might be nice to have a live edge on top of the fireplace too, to tie it all together xx

[@JaxFLGirl1222]

I like the first one. It’s light enough without being to light to make the fireplace pop. ❤️

[@christinewebb7947]

The lighter colour looks fab against the fireplace. X

[@Joyc1956]

I love 1 the lighter neutral with fireplace color.

[@judyjerman5562]

I like the “left” color as that’s what I would want in my home (or even lighter). I’ve lived in homes with dark walls and didn’t like the “feel” of it. But it’s your home so whatever color makes it feel right for you and your family is what it should be, no matter what the rest of us think! 😁

[@Ms._Purple_Apple]

The first colour or the white to make it look airy and make the fireplace pop. 👍⭐️

[@mascottie]

Yes we love watching. I like the color on the left if it’s for all four walls. If it’s just an accent wall, the color on the right will be nice.

[@dianewagers8125]

I think 3 white walls and use either color you end up liking as the accent wall around the fireplace to make the live edge shelving pop. Love seeing the progress!

[@annalisi1865]

Can't wait to see the end result. Safe neutral 1

[@nanof7647]

I like number 1, and I can’t wait to see what it is going to look like

[@eileenday270]

I always go by the idea that the larger the room the darker the color and the opposite for small rooms. My choice would be No. 1, the medium. Since the fireplace is a shade of darker gray, the medium color I think would work. It's whatever you and hubby like. You have to live with it everyday. We only see it in videos. Can't wait to see what you both picked!! 😁😁

[@stephm281]

I’m a fan of color. But I would choose #1 . Whatever you decide I know the room will look beautiful when finished.

[@martinalemmerhofer6937]

I like the left safe neutraI.I am not afraid of color in general,or white walls, but I like this one to complement the fireplace and tiles. The white window frames and baseboard also need to be set off a bit. If the left neutral feels to dark... you got white to make it slightly brighter for another custom color. 😁🤣 You got this !

[@christinabartlett5037]

Hello lovelies, well done with the cabinets, they look great, good job on the hole cover up. I like the lighter natural colour, I think the other one is abit to dark. Have a great weekend lots of love xxxx😘💫🌻

[@katiebrown9820]

1 - the left, I think it will make the fresh white cabinets stand out more

[@barbaranapravnik6364]

I like the color on the left! What ever you chose I know will be beautiful when you’re finished. So excited to see when the room is finished. I hope you haven’t had anymore incidents that you had earlier this wk. I just couldn’t stop worrying about you guys and the boys!💞

[@WendyK501]

Number 1 gets my vote. The darker shade over power and drowns out the fireplace blue. The "safer" color highlights the beautiful blue on the fireplace.

[@cheriehigbee7349]

My choice is No. 1. Can't wait to see it come together.

[@leea.farruga1834]

I think #1, the lighter neutral. It will give more warmth to the room.

[@fullcolourprint]

I like the left one.. gotta remember where you are sounds like the winter's are dark, so that light color will look great in winter!! 👍

[@dinahkruppa913]

I like the fireplace colors.

[@tinastock5212]

I vote number 1 it's just the right shade , well done keep up the good work x

[@julesiou12]

It all depends on what colours you guys prefer. We all have different ideas on what makes us happy. Go with what's right for you and your family x

[@MariaJimenez-kt1rm]

I will go # 1 but is your house do what you like and make you happy!!

[@babylonsisters1]

I think color number one - it's going to be gorgeous! Your confidence is so inspiring!

[@gardeninginthedesert]

The left lighter color is lovely. You could do that on three walls and the darker around the fireplace. Or maybe three white walls and this lighter color around the fireplace. But you knew that already 😂

[@jragnes]

Brave of you! I designed and made my built-ins around my in my living room. It worked out great! But... you folks need a nail gun! Game changer!

[@stephanierandall94]

Score the paint line above the molding. It helps sometimes with removal

[@meaghanlefebvre9837]

I think the left neutral looks lovely against the blue of the fireplace, it will also tie in the other colours you have going in that room. 😊

[@justanothergirl9753]

Blessings !

[@ruthwood8848]

I like color left the lighter color. It seems to go best with the fireplace.

[@sharongage6394]

I vote white walls, or the lighter neutral.

[@myrnacandelario4591]

Love you guys❤❤. I would definitely choose color option #1. It is a lighter neutral that will look nice against the darker blue fireplace and even the white cabinets. If you paint the walls white with white ceiling, cabinets and trim it will feel too modern in my opinion and I don't think that is the vibe you are going for.

[@jackiemoss312]

I like the lighter neutral. We went with a darker neutral in our living room and after living with it for years, it's too dark and cave like for the room.

[@lorimariegrace614]

White walls, accent fireplace wall the left neutral. Bring in splashes of coastal colors with decor. No matter what you decide, with your skills it’ll turn out amazing like everything you do. Loving the series and excited to enjoy your family’s transformation journey!!

[@kathrynosmond2029]

I really dislike being on the bandwagon lol but I like 1 a lot.

[@sharonspruill7892]

You all are amazing in so many ways. Love looks so good on you and Phillip. Your boys are very blessed with you both as parents.

[@jaimemandrigues61]

I mean, whatever you choose will be beautiful. Though, won't the grey's make the beautiful grey blue on the fireplace look like more of a baby blue? Just a thought. I think white walls will contrast better with the colors on the fireplace. Btw, I'm living for the nautical grey blues. I'd have them everywhere but my husband isn't as understanding as Philip lol

[@ssoley2097]

The drone view is so majestic. Beautiful scenery. Love the view. 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟

[@jjeennnnnn]

It’s so funny that he’s barefoot in a construction zone 😂.

[@celiacooper4760]

Not so funny at all. Neither is the fact that neither E or P wear masks when cutting wood.

[@roxanneklafehn8516]

I agree with you Celia. Phillip and Elysia set a poor example of workplace safety for viewers ....and for their sons.

[@terrydycus2656]

Not funny at all!!! Please wear shoes in a construction zone to be safe 🙏

[@velmacoffey3763]

Love this journey!!!

[@MomTrades]

Darker color for the fireplace wall, and the lighter one for the rest.

[@pamalapeterson5352]

You help us by tackling something you have never done….giving us the courage to tackle the unknown also!….thank you for sharing!…..I love you beautiful to the bones house!….God bless y’all abundantly and keep you safe and healthy!
