From my farm to your home. 🏡
My name is Kaleb Wyse and here, you will find delicious recipes, videos from my farm, garden, and fun home projects. My knowledge has been earned from years of home cooks and farmers in my family. wyseguide.com
A farm is much more than a house to live in; it’s a lifestyle. My passion for gardening and landscaping came from outdoor work with my mom in our expansive farm yard, my love for baking came from innumerable short walks to my grandma’s house to make cookies, and as a farmer, my dad taught me that we are the stewards of our land.
So whether you live in a city center or have decided rural life is for you, I hope to inspire you with the projects and recipes I use in daily life. We can’t all live on a farm, but we all need farms in our lives. From the dirt in my vegetable garden to the flour in my kitchen, I’ll show you everything I love to do.

Back in the day, you certainly would’ve had your own show. I hope you make it to millions of followers because there is nothing you cannot do around home or garden.! You are an inspiration to me in so many ways. Thank you for showing us the renovation. It was informative and just beautiful to see as well. Well done.😊

[@susanschuck8124]

Stunning and gorgeous! Your presence in your videos is absolutely intriguing and draws the viewer in to enjoy every moment! Congratulations on your beautiful home! Its a dream come true!

[@gggail]

Absolutely stunning 😍 no detail overlooked. You have such good taste, I love everything. Well done, and congratulations the completion. Enjoy

[@sandypearce8550]

Love your videos.

[@gwencrosswhite9329]

So wonderful to see this reveal. It’s a perfect balance of beauty, comfort and functionality. Bravo!!

[@Amy-lt4ze]

Thank you. Nice to know some people work for what they get. Hi Kipp. Have a great summer gardening. Watching all the time.

[@kanganoroo3849]

I didn't think the second floor could possibly be as lovely as lovely as the first, but I was WRONG. I love the layout, colors, and all the details. You may not be formally educated as a decorator, but you are a decorator with an eye for continuity. Anyone would be lucky to have your input on a build or renovation. THANK YOU FOR SHARING! Hello to Kip 😍

[@DianaGraczyk]

Absolutely gorgeous! Just wondering what is the color of the walls and cabinets in your upstairs bathroom and office space?

[@soaponyt1850]

You did a beautiful job!

[@DH-qz2so]

The home you have created for yourself is beautiful, warm, and inviting... Your no rush, collected, fill with things that feed you/that you love approach, heirlooms, and love, have truly helped to create this - a home, not just a house! So refreshing to watch this type of content, where hauls from all those big box decoration stores are not needed... What you do, takes thought, effort, time, patience...and it shows in your home. I love that your grandparents used to live there! I am also a Quilter...methinks you need a few on those beds! Lol!

[@twilde3754]

My goodness, how beautiful. I found your channel about a year ago because of this renovation. I have a 1907 cottage and found your process great fun to watch! Love your choices and that wallpaper ceiling is luscious! I hope Home Worthy finds your home -- it is SO worthy!!

[@kathleenberkheiser264]

It all turned out so beautifully! You did a wonderful job of designing the space. Congratulations Kaleb, it was well worth waiting for.

[@alyvincent5984]

I absolutely love your renovation and your home in general. Your attitude towards decorating for yourself inspires me in the way I feel you are trying to get across. Thank you for sharing.

[@BritInvLvr]

Normally I don’t like complete renovations to old houses because they become cold and lose their charm. However, you did a wonderful job. Every change was thoughtful and some necessary. Excellent job. I wish your home was a bed breakfast, so I could stay there. Beautiful.

[@debbiemccann3711]

Kaleb the 2nd floor of your home is beautiful.The attention to detail in keeping part of the history is so awesome.Thank you for sharing.

[@Toinette2883]

So beautiful and I have to say love love that wallpaper on the ceiling!

[@spontaneousun]

Thank you for showing us the final product 😊 It’s absolutely gorgeous and your paint color choice is impeccable!

[@yolandaking9866]

Caleb, you did an amazing job. All of the little details make your home so beautiful.

[@janeturnquist2942]

So gorgeous and functional, you did an absolutely superb job in renovating and decorating your grandparents home! I’m impressed! Your home is beautiful! Congratulations on finishing it up! Thanks for showing it off!

[@jasminfield2778]

Ur such a talented designer kept the integrity of the home but created such a functional and beautiful aesthetic

[@debbiej5184]

I think you are a wonderful designer. Absolutely beautiful rooms.. Love the wallpaper ceilings. Thanks for sharing.

[@trisharomance4026]

So well done Kaleb ! Loved hearing the thought process that created your perfectly functional space . Your pull out library shelves brought me back to my childhood . My Dad built the house I grew up in . He created a large pull out chopping board in the kitchen cabinets ! It was used endlessly . When I had a home of my own I had one put into my kitchen too ! Seeing yours made me smile !

[@marianhintz9981]

I love your upstairs so cozy just like your downstairs!!! Great job designing it all!!

[@alandenniston8209]

I love all the light with window additions and love the storage in the hall way and the bookcase in your office. The hall way becomes part of the office and gives a great open feel space. The bathroom with the window addition you mentioned is so valuable. I like to enter a bathroom in the daytime and not have to turn on a light. Thanks for sharing again.

[@eleanorrkuntzi6422]

It is fantastic and so functional. We can never have enough storage space but you did your very best to put it to good use by utilizing built-ins which I love. Thank you for letting us share the whole process. The final reveal is spectacular!

[@gailcooper5646]

The upper level is positively stunning! I love the wallpaper on the ceilings. Not only is the paper itself beautiful, but who wouldn't want to wake up to a garden view every morning.

[@cbass2755]

I love, love, love built-in’s. Your home is beautiful. I’m happy to hear you built to suit yourself. Live in it, enjoy it. When sold in future anyone will build for themselves, removing what you did, so happy to hear you say that. I’m the same….

[@loriallison1786]

You have a wonderful eye for details that make all the difference for both function and beauty. 🎉🎉Congratulations on your gorgeous renovation and both the warmth and comfort it exudes. Looks fantastic and is equally as charming as your main floor reno. Enjoy!!!!

[@pomme800]

Love, love love your style...your tree house bedrooms , room to breathe... plain joy 🌱

[@gardenroom65]

Your grandparents would be thrilled….🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@suzannesmith9091]

Oh my! The bedroom ceiling with the wallpaper is stunning! Love it!😊 what a gorgeous space.

[@suzanneramsay7757]

I love the shower controls being away from the shower head.

[@elizabethhazel6039]

Have followed your 2nd floor reno progress, fantastic it's finished! The new extra windows are brilliant - how did you ever live without them? LOVE the built-ins, can never have enough of those. It looks very cozy and functional, and the Oakmoss green is scrumptious. You can't beat having a "my little pony wall." Glad you had to put one in. Not everything that's dated is bad.

[@robinfisher8024]

So beautiful! Your attention to detail is exquisite!

[@rubydoo326]

I TOTALLY enjoyed every second of this video! What an awesomely fantastic job you did, and kudos to your contractors, etc. Every second of work was well worth it with these final results. You have such great taste in everything you do. The wallpaper on the ceiling has my heart. May you have many, many years of happiness and joy in your home and labor of love.

[@PandoraSummer-d9v]

I love the Oak Moss and the wallpaper in the ceiling! Brass lamps would look good there, too.

[@julieaustin4684]

So glad I saw this as I have been waiting. You have lovely taste and have made the extension farmhouse yet modern. It’s beautiful, thanks for sharing. I can’t wait to watch you garden in your spring/summer. Big hugs from Sydney Australia. ☺️🙏🏼🇦🇺🍷

[@lisagorman2480]

I have to have a fan in a bedroom too- what a warm and inviting space! Beautiful.

[@strongcuppatea1629]

Thanks so much for the tour! I love how cohesive your home feels now on both floors. Would love to see some "planning moment" videos that give us a peek into those lovely vintage books that are out of print, but are still wonderful reference and inspiration. Just can't beat a cozy library with a comfy upholstered chair! And Kip sleeping half-in/half-out of his bed lets us know that your home design also considered his "canine aesthetic" as well!😆

[@bethjohnson8234]

Everything looks very nice….love that green!!!!!

[@WyseGuide]

Thanks so much!

[@kezwall4506]

Love your upstairs area. So well thought out, looks traditional, modern and very well curated. You really are a talented man XK

[@dhill2953]

Beautiful, beautiful reno! PLEASE hang a lush green trailing plant where the indoor window is beside the desk - it would totally complete that area by bringing in more shades of green. 😊

[@nancymarsh2540]

Gorgeous! I would never want to leave home😊

[@annlatham]

Beautiful job! I would never get tired of this ! It’s just so natural and serene. Your paint choices are spot on! The hardware and decor is amazing ❤

[@carolechamberlain1766]

Your choices are amazing! Your upstairs is beautiful! I love the light switches & all the things!!!!! I’m so happy for you!

[@MisterSixty]

You knocked it out of the ballpark! Looks great 💯

[@ednatucker5445]

Hi Kaleb! Your vision for the upstairs reno is resoundingly beautiful! You captured the space, light and storage capacity in remarkable fashion! I commend your "feel good" spaces and what suits your lifestyle while paying homage to the age and character of the home...as it should be. Not only did you and your team do an impeccable job...Your farmhouse is warm and gorgeous! I love it! So, give yourself a pat on the back! Enjoyed the transformations!

[@heatheryarbrough5255]

The wall paper on the ceiling really works. I think it’s because you chose such a beautiful pattern. The wall color is amazing. Great job, just gorgeous.

[@debbiemower]

Lovely! I like that you kept the old push button switches and brass plates. I've loved those since I was kid, and nobody ever keeps them.

[@lisaadiff]

Every lovely, comforting, practical detail says, “home.” Going green in both bedrooms is bold with restraint; not something I’ve not seen before. Beautiful! PS I spied a fruitcake cookbook. You’re an old soul!❤

[@lindawaller9626]

Your renovations upstairs and downstairs are beautiful.

[@linda7726]

Hi Kaleb! Your home looks absolutely beautiful! You have done a wonderful job and I wouldn’t change a thing! Love old farm houses like yours and my Aunt’s home in West Virginia. My Uncle’s father built it and all the walls, except for the kitchen, were cedar planks. Loved it! Many wonderful memories there. ❤

[@jeaniesimpson5120]

Absolutely beautiful. My favorite thing is the wallpapered ceiling and my favorite color is green. Just gorgeous.

[@pgallegos749]

BEAUTIFUL Job! Ugh, I LOVE the the shower design! So terrific to think about placing the faucet controls on the opposite wall instead of under the shower head! AND, whoever invented the pony wall has been traumatizing homeowners for decades!

[@ladydpo1033]

I hope recessed lights never go out of style! I will keep mine, regardless. LOL! I LOVE your entire home. Thanks for the tour(s)!

[@cherylinutica]

Your home is absolutely beautiful. Love the colors. Love the architecture everything. You nailed it!

[@LeahNess-t7o]

It looks fabulous!! I want to take a nap in the bedrooms , they are so cozy.❤❤

[@susanvp4685]

Absolutely gorgeous Reno…you really have a keen eye to know what works! Love everything about it. You would be perfect to host a TV Lifestyles program❤

[@monettemichaels8420]

Beautiful renovation. Love all your choices esp the wallpaper on the bedroom ceilings. And I noticed your Roseville pot on your office bookshelf. I collect them and it just popped out at me. Your taste is wonderful and I am sure having your space your way will help you create more recipes and designs for your gardens which we all will enjoy.

[@TheImpatientGardener]

Just come decorate my house Kaleb. Your remodel is amazing and I adore that landing/office area.

[@rhondakieffer1666]

I love the green cabinets and walls!! And the wallpaper is exquisite!!! I might steal that idea!!

[@gloriafroese9160]

love the wallpaper on the ceiling! your reno is gorgeous

[@patcoll247]

You made beautiful selections. You really have a vision and attention to detail. Love ALL your home renovations!

[@leslierosslentz1988]

The question I have is one that comes to mind going through your lovely home. Do you have a cleaning schedule? You work from home and your work revolves around the arts of cooking, gardening, and collecting. I would be appreciative of a guided tour sometime how you incorporate dusting, floors, and maybe even laundry. It would be meaningful to me and maybe others. Thank you.

[@karlstroms]

Absolutely beautiful, Kaleb! So perfectly planned & executed. Great job filming etc too, Joel!

[@BP-fv6lc]

So much thought into every detail. Beyond beautiful!

[@gbmgnrs]

You are so gifted and talented in so many aspects....what a beautiful home you have created!

[@anitahadley2871]

Absolutely wonderful design choices. Lots of original style details with a clean, modern twist.

[@AndreaBenson-g5y]

It came out great! It definitely is a process but you will have it forever! Wishes for many blessings there! 👍👏😊

[@elsafischer3247]

Beautiful home and thank you for this wonderful tour

[@Lydia-zr2pb]

[@pamellasmith2503]

Gorgeous house 🏡 everything is lovely

[@Deedeeh1958]

Love the second floor 100%, it’s so classy Kaleb. We have the same taste! ❤

[@carolbrat659]

I truly love that you are down to earth and true to what works for you. You have created such a beautiful and cozy home. It's also nice to see this was done over time and not rushed. Thank you for inspiring me!

[@terrirydberg2126]

Absolutely love what you have done. When i first heard you mention wallpaper on the ceiling i thought you're nuts but wow did you prove me wrong. I wish you could design my house. Enjoy it is well earned.

[@pamellasmith2503]

Your choices are beautiful in every space 🏡

[@jmbrig4]

Congratulations Kaleb! This renovation is so beautiful, so cohesive and does your generational farmhouse proud. From the addition of new windows to reconfiguring wall space, it all feels natural to the home. Your color choices are exquisite, especially the green and I especially love that the frames of the windows are black. It adds a dramatic, yet vintage flair to each room. You did a fabulous job.

[@micheletotton9342]

Must say you have a very nice way, so likeable and your house too

[@kanases]

omg the wallpaper on the ceiling is awesome!! Love it all!

[@jasonkay6919]

I stumbled onto your channel by accident, and I'm hooked! Love your personality and style!

[@cindycalvert3683]

It has to be a wonderful feeling to have both your downstairs and upstairs renovations finished. I'm happy for you.

[@peggystein3745]

[@browneyes-cj8eg]

OMg I so in love with your house.. very nicely done. such wonderful touches.. the push button light switches takes me back to my grandparents farm house..

[@storybookfarmeasttexas9971]

It’s so beautiful!!! I have to tell you we went thru a similar project…property had a 100 old house (in our case it had been abandoned, had squatters, branches thru the roof in places with weather coming in for years). As we were trying to renovate I was trying so hard to save everything to use again and make authentic but in most cases we ended up having to completely replace with new so I was constantly trying to find authentic new that would look authentic original, ie glass doorknobs, tall wainscoting. In our case the 3000 sq ft reno took 2 years to complete. I REALLY wanted the brass fixtures like you put in! Sadly those came in too expensive at that time to use. Now I see them everywhere. And I agree, we have to live in the house so we make it how we need it. Yours is amazing! Congrats!

[@JaniceLadyJStyleKrako]

Love the changes. Very welcoming spaces nicely light too. ❤

[@maryjrucker2485]

OMG i love everything you have done upstairs. It is beautiful!!

[@carlas872]

Amazing! I love all of the storage. The cabinetry is stunning. Everything is! Thank you for sharing.

[@normaquintero3598]

Everything turned out beautiful.

[@janiceroberts4805]

You've done a beautiful job, each area has been completely thought out so it fits you completely. Be proud of the art you've created to live in.

[@annflora3663]

I love that you did your own beautiful thing.

[@denisemckeever1963]

So well-thought out Kaleb! Homey + Bright. Love it.❤
