[@luciebfink]

Awww thank you so much!!! I'm so honored

[@alexandrahjames]

Your new house is so beautiful! I love how you are making it completely your own with all the renovations 🏡

[@luciebfink]

Thank you so much!!! We are so excited about it allllll :)

[@nancye66]

When we moved into our ‘80’s home 8 years ago we did many renovations to the entire home and were also so excited that the basement was totally unfinished! We had so much fun planning and designing the entire space. I’m sure you will too! Enjoy the process… so many great memories for you and your husband to share ❤

[@luciebfink]

Thank you so muchhhh!!!

[@sharonnn.zeller]

The window in the wall next to where the dining table will be is an amazing idea, it looks like a painting and it will be so relaxing to study and eat there while looking out the window :)

[@jj-if6it]

Love the addition of the picture window in the dining room. IMO, the more natural light, the better!

[@delaneyshank57]

Seeing all the renos in one video is so exciting! I can’t wait to hear more about your design choices! I know you worked with your mama on that & furniture buying - can’t wait!

[@kellykarakhanyan8660]

ah, so exciting! I would LOVE a full budget breakdown. Our first house was new construction - I loved planning all the details. Now we're looking to move again and the next area will need remodeling of older homes. Any tips / tricks and budgeting plans would be amazing!

[@user-dn1li3ok5m]

Love how this video was structured! You did such a good job explaining things and showing visuals

[@uknowmyluv]

I love all the natural light that you're adding. We bought our house because there was so much of it and big windows.

[@luciebfink]

Yes, natural light is my #1 thingggg

[@karengraves3900]

Loving all the changes you described especially the new picture window!!

[@luciebfink]

UGH SAME thank you so much!!

[@mythapernito]

So exciting to witness the transformation!!! You are a visionary, Lucie!!❤🎉

[@luciebfink]

AWWW thank you so much I'm so excited!!

[@mythapernito]

​@@luciebfink🥰🥰🥰

[@olivelately]

Home Reno videos feed my soul lol I'm loving all your choices. I can see what you mean about the bathroom and kitchen. But I think they will look even better with your renovations. Looking forward to future updates. :)

[@peachxblue]

Makes me want to design a dream home in the suburbs, too! Although I would probably turn your dining room into an at-home yoga studio and meditate on the floor in front of the gorgeous window. I too hate carpets haha and will certainly be ripping up any future wall to wall carpets in my future home just like you!! They make me depressed lol , wood is more soothing

[@jj-if6it]

I've seen clips on Insta and it looks beautiful, so fresh and clean. Exactly the finishes I would choose myself I think. Can't wait to see the end result!

[@latmcb9863]

Thanks so much for posting this video. I love seeing all of the details. You are taking an already beautiful home and elevating it even further. Can't wait to see the final finished home. Thank you also for sharing the costs of the renovations. It's really helpful.

[@bookishshenanigans4769]

I loved this and really look forward to seeing how your plans progress. I also really appreciate your honesty about the costs of renovating.

[@ashleeraz09]

Awesome, Lucy! Thanks for sharing prices too - very helpful!

[@merciefantroy2999]

love the "please take note for yourself"...LMAO! agreed+congrats on the new Chapter. 🎉

[@rosebechtle1088]

I’m obsessed!!! Taking notes now for when I buy a home one day. Its so simple but beautifully done so far. Thank you for sharing ❤

[@Michelle_Gian]

We just finished our basement earlier this year with the same flooring and loveee it! Also very easy to clean which I highly appreciate!!

[@jj-if6it]

That mudroom makes so much more sense

[@queens6583]

Lucy, how exciting to transform the house into your dream home. I'm presently surprised that the costs are more reasonable than I imagined they'd be. Also, I really appreciate the fact that your sharing the cost of the work with all of us. I plan to redo my kitchen and downstairs bathroom next spring, followed by my upstairs main bathroom after that. Would you be able to share the company that did the mill work on the planned office closets? Referrals from people who have had work done is very helpful. So far I'm loving the aesthetic during trying to create and definitely looking forward to the end results. BTW, my husband loathes mice too and if there is ever to be one in the house, I am the official terminator. LOL

[@carmenwalsh8114]

Love ur style!!!!❤

[@kb9847]

congratulations on your new home. I'm excited to see what your new space is going to look like. :)

[@luciebfink]

SAME, thank you so much!!

[@Tkrow20]

We have red oak flooring in our home but with a white stain/sealer, similar to what you are doing! It looks gorgeous! Congratulations to your house!! It is going to be amazing backdrop to your new chapter! 🙂

[@luciebfink]

Thank you so much!!!

[@StephandPete]

What camera/lens do you use, Lucie? Your videos are such high quality!

[@luciebfink]

I use a fujifilm xt5 mostly!!! sometimes just my iphone 14 pro max though :)

[@marquisstarks9471]

Thank you for another great video Lucie.

[@anastasia87654]

What a lovely house! 💕

[@seren4931]

I’m obsessed already 🎉

[@aomumoo]

Of everything you did I have to say the basement floors should have been the least impressive, but somehow blew me away the most. 🤣 I can’t believe how much of a difference that made by itself.

[@luciebfink]

I KNOW it transforms the basement!!!

[@jj-if6it]

I hate how many Americans are obsessed with dark wood and granite and sparkly tiles in kitchens. I think it will date quickly. You made the right choice to lighten things up.

[@elianauku]

It looks GREAT so far! Did you have a designer help you with the renovation ideas or was it all you??

[@luciebfink]

We are working with a designer who's been very helpful!! Also we are working off of many inspiration images and combining elements that we've seen elsewhere and love!

[@ellenmycyk9883]

I love how down to earth and transparent you are, really appreciate you sharing some cost info. Also, I noticed the nails, looks like your sticking with Essie GC, I am hooked on it now thanks to you :)

[@luciebfink]

YES obsessed lolllll I love that I can remove it at home.

[@julianajb]

So happy to go through this journey with you, and that you found the perfect house and that you're having such a good experience renovating it! To be honest is a little bit unexpected, because all youtubers that I've seen recently that bought and renovated a house, talk about how hard / complex / expensive it has been, and not enjoyable at all, many to the point that they've regretted the whole thing. I hope everything continues to go perfectly and can't wait for the final result! Could you please share in the end your learnings, what went differently than expected, and best practices? I'm sure these will be very helpful! ❤

[@PinkRose0910]

I was wondering if you thought of trying to repaint the existing cabinets and hood in the kitchen? Have you watched No Demo Reno on HGTV? People should respect it’s your money and house so not give you any hate for it . Everyone has different tastes like you mentioned. It’s always nice if you can resell or donate items that are in good condition,like the countertops or tub ,cabinets,but you don’t want anymore.

[@karinaestrada6802]

Bruh, i could have changed all your doors for half that price haha😅 .. my husband changed all the doors in our house, including all new hardware, took him a couple weekends but the labor was free 😅

[@pattycombs637]

Beautiful.

[@luciebfink]

Thank you!!! 💞

[@camillavanwijk2725]

Who's telling you to keep that bathroom? haha

[@luciebfink]

LOL you'd be surprised with the comments on tiktok!!!

[@jimcorbeil]

❤

[@PassiveAgressive319]

Quick question: will you be undertaking any of the renovations yourself? A lot of KZbinrs pride themselves on this but quite frankly if somebody can do it better and professional looking - relieve your stress! Lol

[@jj-if6it]

It's kinda funny if people say you're taking away the character from the house...it's just from the 80s not the 1880s lol

Mold is worse than mice, I think

[@ginarios9442]

To Hayah goes all the glory. // SHLM & HaB (peace & love). The Name of the Creator is Hayah asher Hayah, as what He told Moshah (Exodus 3:14), preserved in the Hebrew Scriptures. There is a curse to the G-o-d name (Isaiah 65:11-12), preserved in the Hebrew Scriptures. All followers of the Messiah are to do the 7 appointed times (Leviticus 23), but no more animal sacrifices, following the Crucifixion of the Messiah. We are now of the order of MLK TSDQ (King, righteous), to Whom ABRaHM tithed. Ask the Messiah to be your personal Savior. He said to him, I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me (John 14:6). ...for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of Hayah (Romans 3:23). The wages for sin is death but the gift of ALaHYM is Everlasting Life through Messiah Yahushgh our Master (Romans 6:23). That if you confess with your mouth the Master Yahushgh and believe in your heart that ALaHYM raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved (Romans 10:9). He Himself is an Atoning Offering for our sins, and not for ours only but also for all the world (1 John 2:2). The Messiah died on the cross, & Resurrected three days later (presenting Himself as First Fruits to the Father). Please ask Him to be your Savior. He is the ONLY way to Everlasting Life.

[@asli8719]

not gonna lie .. the old doors had much more charm .. 6500 out the window for boring and clinical looking doors. not sure what was driving you there

[@luciebfink]

I knew some people would think this but that panelling was not my style!! Prefer a sleeker more modern door any day!!

[@jj-if6it]

I don't think people even really notice doors. I'd spend the money somewhere else instead
