My EXTREME Bathroom Makeovers | Before & After of 1906 Farmhouse

[@SheHoldsDearly]

I have never shared these bathrooms with my KZbin viewers, so we are making up for lost time!! I’m thinking we need some wallpaper or wall color now, what do you think??

[@dianemunson9698]

Yes I do think it’s screaming for something to give it a finished if if it’s just paint but not just any paint

[@robinbirdj743]

Love wallpaper too. You could add a pop of warm wood ( not too orange, so try a special walnut stain) above, also. Your spaces are very farmhouse still with a bit too much white for your color longings. I love copper ( the color of your hair) and that might work for you. Also blues. Any blues, with greens. Consider pewter if you prefer silver tones, with the blues. That toilette ( twa- LET) sign? So cute!

[@Spedteacher2020]

I have vintage travel clocks that don’t work so I set them to the time of birth for my boys so when I look at them it reminds me of that time.

[@reneeadolph1309]

I love this idea!

[@SheHoldsDearly]

Such a sweet idea!

[@monicatorres4965]

Oohh great idea!

[@katen1228]

There is nothing, I repeat, NOTHING liken real life stories that truly speak to the heart of redoing a house into a home. Thank you SO, SO much for giving a glimpse into you struggles and such a WONDERFUL success of you home.

[@SheHoldsDearly]

Our pleasure!

[@sherryhudson9075]

Oh yes, wallpapering the bathroom and changing the color of the paneling would look gorgeous

[@Rr4773psc]

What a gift when Sarah posts a video. Love her!

[@SheHoldsDearly]

That's sweet, Rachel!

[@melindaferreira9879]

What a transformation.... You are brave to live with the before for years....

[@jankinman4685]

Sarah, thank you so much for sharing this encouragement! We have been in our down sized home for 5 years & have wanted to remodel our MB ever since. I think your ideas for wallpaper, maybe a toile? and sconces would be the extra jewels to your space! Your two have done a beautiful job!

[@lizesquivel7270]

Plates are beautiful in any room of the house. It is charming and I do like it. Sometimes when people say they don't like something it makes us question our choices. If you love it that is what matters.

[@elizabethlennox7081]

I love the idea of a lit curio in the bathroom - must be heavenly to take a bath with the ambient lighting!

[@michellem434]

Gorgeous! I LOVE the dresser you converted into the vanity. It looks beautiful!❤ Good job with the shower door. We priced new custom made shower doors and they're pricey. I never thought of replacing the toilet handle! Great idea.😊 The second bathroom! What a transformation. 🎉 I love all your finishing touches. Thank you for your fun videos.

[@irmayorke9075]

Bathrooms are beautiful I wouldn't change a thing!

[@cybertrove6914]

I love the plates in the bathroom - romantic porcelain lace.

[@Annie-ni1fv]

😊 Wallpaper and painted vanity is a yes

[@mamaneedsatimeout1325]

I love them! From the wallpaper, vanities, door with the transom, plates and ruler - it all was spectacular. You truly have a gift (and your wonderful husband)! ~ Linda

[@carolynlulinski8593]

Good morning, hope you are well. Love all you have done to the bathrooms. ❤ Love home tours. 😊Until next time take care.

[@deniseborchardt4491]

I love both bathrooms and the touches. You asked about the plates in the bathroom. I feel it is unexpected, but I like them. It gives a Parisien vibe.There are no rules and feel that you should fill your rooms with the things you love and are pleasing to your eye. I love the vanity in the wood tone [not opposed to painting wood fyi]. Another review suggested some gel stain if you decide to go that route. Yes to some pretty sconces and wall paper. Love your videos and talent!

[@JLee-pc2vc]

You can fix orangey wood with a coat or two of Minwax Coffee Gel Stain or General Finishes Java Gel stain. You just go right over the existing finish with the gel stain. It will give you a beautiful brown wood finish and knock out the orange. You can still see the wood grain. It holds up great!

[@SheHoldsDearly]

Thanks for the idea!

[@JLee-pc2vc]

@@SheHoldsDearly I usually just slop it on with a foam brush and then wipe it off with shop towels. It's a pretty quick fix. If you decide to try it, just protect your floors really well with thick cardboard or something for the parts of the vanity you can't take outside.

[@kristinastoltzfus6032]

Yes! I love this! I did our kitchen cabinets with it and they turned out great. Also my son's fireplace mantle was orange and it looks so good.

[@lisafriend5535]

I love your bathrooms. Always look forward to your videos.

[@SheHoldsDearly]

Thank you so much!

[@vintagewidow]

Your bathrooms are beautiful!! We paid 600.00 to a professional to re-do our yellow tub in our old house. It lasted about a month and started peeling. He came back twice to fix it…it just kept peeling. Then he wouldn’t return my calls. 😠 Glad it worked for you…maybe the home stuff is better these days. This was 15 years ago. Also, I ordered the same type faucet from Amazon with good results. Totally agree with the toilet handle! I bought a round (looks like an old faucet handle) one that you turn to flush…it’s soooo cute!

[@theresiachandler7711]

I love the plates in the bath, i have plates in one of mine

[@bonnieskorupski]

Beautiful Bathrooms! Timing couldn't be better because we are remodeling our main bath right now. Thank you for the idea to add new toilet handle to list! We are going with white shiplap on biggest wall. Black and white farmhouse. I like clean and simple. Doing all the work ourselves. Looking forward to your Brimfield Flea Market post, I was there also, we live only 45 mins. away.

[@JShow78]

I love your makeover, I decided to use the beadboard wallpaper in my dining room. We used chair railing to make it look even more official because it didn’t go floor to ceiling. Honestly, you can’t tell it’s not real. In my bathroom I hung antique white ironstone chamber pots

[@tinamcivor2996]

Thank you for sharing the amazing job you did on your bathrooms. I too have dreaded a bath in my clawfoot tub due to fears of ending up in the basement!😂 I also appreciate how long you waited to make it better! Very inspiring and keep the plates in the bath if you love them!

[@sharongruener6078]

Beautiful bathrooms. Great job. Blessings.

[@bluesky7226]

Lovely! When my husband installed our converted dresser in the powder room this summer, he did a great job of re fashioning the drawers.

[@Scarlet-qg1xi]

I loved the mirrors in Jenna Sue’s bedroom! I loved the treatment she did with them!

[@amyg.8592]

Wow. Beautiful, inspiring updates! With your upstairs vanity, one option might be staining it without stripping it back. I had success with an orange-stained dresser which I coated with a black stain. I used liquid sandpaper, then went over it with the black stain (I believe it was a stain/poly combo). I then sanded back lightly on drawer edges to let a bit of the original orange show through and then did a light pass with the liquid sandpaper again to get a matte finish. I wasn't able to sell it until I changed the color, but it looked great in the end. I like paint, but I like to have options in case paint doesn't feel right for a piece. :)

[@sharonsomers5513]

I love how you redesigned your bathrooms. Everything looks great for age of your home.

[@brendaburow3917]

Both bathrooms are beautiful! ❤️

[@LQOTW]

Yay, to your extreme bathroom makeovers! Brilliant work! One thing: 'Toilette' is pronounced 'Twa-LETT' (E-double 'T'-E = short e sound followed by the hard 'T'). For 'Twa-LAY' you have an 'L' followed by 'ET' (no 'E' at the end causes 'T' to be silent) .

[@jenniferkessener1111]

Wow, you did so much, and both look beautiful. I love the dresser as it is, but always feel you should do what speaks to you. You have given me some ideas to tweak ours! Ha, I can relate to the pliers next to the tub. Thankfully ours was an easy fix.

[@anitabarker3125]

Enjoyed this video and like how you designed and decorated your bathrooms. It is always good to have a husband who helps his wife in making your house a home ❤

[@maryjomathews4749]

Oh how I wish I had before pictures to show....lol We gutted our bathroom and put up exterior grade bead board. I primed it on both sides and we have never had an issue with it. It has been 15 years and still going strong.

[@SheHoldsDearly]

That's great!

[@ginamaria2579]

Your bathrooms are beautiful thanks for sharing 🤗💕

[@SheHoldsDearly]

You are so welcome!

[@kajlove1]

What awesome remodels. You endured so much! I’ve always wanted a dresser turned vanity, someday I will do it in my master maybe even the powder room too! Thanks for sharing!😊

[@SheHoldsDearly]

Go for it!

[@terrychancellor4593]

LOVE!!! Yes, definitely do wallpaper above the rail trim, something that will really accent your bronze metal in that bathroom. These are both gorgeous!! I have been wanting to do sconce lighting especially in my downstairs powder room and LOVE the ones you have. I do not have an old house but I have an old-style home. I wanted an old 1900 farmhouse but never found one in our budget. Twenty-five years ago, we stumbled on a great deal on just over 12 acres of land, bought it and set to work designing our home from scratch. I made sure to design it with an ample sized foyer, high ceilings, wrap around porch with bay windows on both floors, walk up attic, and even a cedar-lined closet in the upstairs hall for wool sweaters, fine linens, and formal wear. I have transom windows, unique quirky elements typical of old homes, and a large fireplace. Sounds perfect, right? Nope, still a work in progress, still going back and redoing things where I gave in to more modern elements due to cost or my husband's wishes, but now he sees what I was trying to create and said to go for it. Small budget but I'm going to do my best!!! Your channel is such an inspiration!!! Thank you!!

[@SheHoldsDearly]

Thank you, Terry!

[@Cinderella1125]

Your bathrooms were definitely a labor of love. They look amazing. I am looking forward to your WA home tours.

[@SheHoldsDearly]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@joannechapman8455]

Your upstairs vanity is my parents dresser when I was growing up…the exact same thing!

[@pollyporter-campbell7493]

Lovely rooms.

[@SarahsOctoberHome]

Sarah, we have waterproof, wood floor in our bathrooms. It’s just sealed with a certain caulk. They are fine. ✨ I love the second bathroom very much. I want to add a claw foot in our guest bathroom one day.🤞🏻🤍✨

[@SheHoldsDearly]

Thanks for the tip!

[@ednajohnson2190]

Love the dresser/sink vanity.

[@lisahoerr9713]

Timeless and beautiful! LOVE them both!

[@Fmwils]

I have a great suggestion for an alternative to the plates. I have a selection of antigue dresser set mirrors and combs attached to my wall using Velcro 3 m strips. That yellow/gold vintage color would be great with your vibe.

[@SheHoldsDearly]

Fun idea! Thank you!

[@elizabeththequeen943]

All of my three bathrooms are wallpapered and because of the fans and ventilation, there are absolutely no problems with it. I love wallpaper in the bathroom; it really glams it up. Also, wood floors are great in a bathroom but they have to be sealed for waterproofing..... if you have little kids!

[@SheHoldsDearly]

Thanks for sharing!

[@megansantini]

I have beautiful clocks placed around my home- one for each of my children set to the time they were born. That might be a neat way to set your clocks in your bathroom!

[@SheHoldsDearly]

Such a cute idea, thank you!

[@annetteelder-clark505]

I love the thought of painting the vanity. Sage green enamel or cream enamel. I love the look of cream and white together and I love sage green with the stained wood top. Or go nuts and try a new palette... navy paint or black paint or non-shiney metallic (think brushed finish). 😊

[@gathercreatelivewithleslie8340]

Love the dressers turned vanity, everything today is so cheaply made. We have solid oak vanity's from when the house was built so am painting them. I can't see ripping out solid oak. ???Would love to hear what you think of aging doors in the home??? We have eighties oak throughout the house and I love the look of painted older french looking doors, that have been painted several times and the paint is worn.

[@aquariuslady777]

Beautiful rooms ...now. thanks for sharing

[@SheHoldsDearly]

Thanks for watching!

[@MeditationParadiseLand]

Your bathroom makeover looks absolutely beautiful my sister ❤️🥰

[@SheHoldsDearly]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@kathleenroberts7972]

Yes to wallpaper. I would do just the top portion of the walls. I have never had problems with wallpaper in bathrooms. My late husband built a sink set up that looks like it's a piece of furniture with a sink in it. That way plumbing was easier.

[@patroberts185]

Beautiful!

[@twizzletrish]

Your bathroom dresser is Victorian Renaissance Revival. Victorian Eastlake has spoon carved flowers and leaves. Love the bathroom makeovers!

[@roseofsharin]

Beautiful remodels! I think it's important to remember, though, that when you buy an old home the previous owners may not have had the budget to do the fixes the way we would prefer. Especially those old farmhouses. My grandparents lived in one and I know how much they struggled just to put food on the table. But now this home has been renewed wonderfully!

[@SheHoldsDearly]

Very true!

[@garymcdade4446]

Sheila McDade here . . . WALLPAPER, YES! The wallpaper idea you recommended for our friend on Farmhouse on Boone for her stairwell was brilliant and the color she chose is so beautiful. I am relieved you are thinking about getting rid of the plates. When I saw them I thought, "Plates in a bathroom?" lol

[@debbiefletcher4781]

Love the transformation in both bathrooms. Have you ever done a full home tour. Your decorating style is simple and yet so elegant. Thank you for sharing with us. ❤

[@SheHoldsDearly]

Yes! This one is from a few years back : kzbin.info/www/bejne/emSrnaukeryefNU ! I'm hoping to update it again before too long! :)

[@loriwhinery3210]

Yes wallpaper it

[@AdorkableLiz77]

Everything looks stunning 😍

[@SheHoldsDearly]

Thank you! 🤗

[@suesaur]

I am waiting for 20 years now to re do our upstairs bathroom, tucked into the eaves. I would LOVE to move our cast iron tub in there, somehow. To use as a tub, definitely not a shower! ( I spent my entire shower batting down the curtain liner--the steam just sucks it up against my body and destroys the whole "experience "!) Maybe a handheld showerhead to use while sitting in the tub! Hubster doesn't think he can get the tune upstairs because we have a 90° turn at the top of the stairs. Still waiting!

[@tinabonner6286]

Gorgeous!! Need I say more?! 🙌🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@cheechee85]

Oh my goodness I got a bamboo table almost the same as yours from a community yard sale 3 bucks I was so happy to find it and could not believe someone would sell it so cheep 😊

[@SheHoldsDearly]

The resale markets certainly have changed recently! Do you have antique/thrift stores you can check instead?

[@scarlettwinters5642]

@@SheHoldsDearly Im new to my area, I will have to give that a try thank you

[@robinbirdj743]

I’m trying not to laugh because my only bathroom was not even scrubbable. The subfloor was rotted and yes even floor joists had to be repaired (sistered) and reinforced for the heavy tub. I put in a maple floor (shellacked). The walls are real, tall beadboard and a medium wood tone. It was difficult not having a sink for awhile but you’re right, the slow process turned out BETTER!

[@lynny6754]

I'm late to the party, but YES to wallpapering the bathroom ... with one caveat: Use the newer, easily removable wallpaper in case you change your taste and in case you sell the house. Wallpaper can be a real turnoff to some potential buyers.

[@chrisd8795]

We currently have a buffet turned vanity in our master bath. I keep looking at it thinking it needs to be painted. The wood tone is just to orange for me. The only problem is what color to paint it??? White is my first choice, but the walls, curtains are all white. Maybe I’ll wait on you, Sarah for some inspiration. 😂 Also, the brass and glass soap dish, is it a vintage find or still available?

[@jillbruce3624]

Wow. Love both of them so much. I have always wanted to use a vanity for a sink base - my bathrooms are so tiny. Thanks for the inspiration. The little curio cabinet is darling too.

Absolutely yes to the wallpaper for the bathroom but please keep it simple my suggestion would be a white background with extremely tiny black pinstripes ah-La Ralph Lauren & also I’m itching to say I am very picky about where plates are hung I definitely don’t like them in bedrooms or bathrooms or anything else three dimensional in hallways plates to me are only for kitchens &/or dinning rooms I love beautiful plats I have some amazing thrift d ones ❤(please don’t let my ideas upset you take them with a grain of salt because I am not an Interior Decorator idi seem to have decent taste but it is on a tight tight budget that’s one of the reasons why I like to see what you do I am a Born Again Christian (Jesus said there is no other kind)just saying it’s only meant to be constructive criticism
