BEFORE + AFTER HOUSE TOUR | Cottage Style Spring 2020

[@deniseconaway701]

Recently i have been watching young mothers on you tube Hilary, and it's been hard to watch, moving to house's that are huge, ultra modern, and must so expensive, too the point i just can't relate to them anymore, you Hilary have you head screwed on, you have a beutiful home that is way more stylish, you spend money on things you genuinely need, thankyou for being real Hilary x

[@gailann7813]

I couldn't have said it any better. So very true. I love Hilliary's style.

[@saramartinez103]

Spot on! Hilary's style and personality is real, homey, elegant, unique, collected, peaceful. Just gorgeous!

Wow great job. New sub here. You are a refreshing change from all the channels that have the Hobby Lobby/Joanna Gaines decor that they will be sick to death of in a couple years. You don't even have a large EAT sign in your kitchen and yet you manage to do it. I am older and my husband and I have renovated seven houses. Something that came to mind while watching was in one house every time we ripped something out or started a big job our elderly neighbor would say the same thing "And that's why you bought this house, because you loved it so much." Haha. One suggestion you might consider, in the 60's house we are in now we took the upper cabinets down and removed the soffits and installed the cabinets back almost at the ceiling, leaving just enough room for crown molding. Then we added a shelf under the cabinets. I love the extra storage of the shelf, it keeps my counter clean and raising them made our kitchen look so much bigger. Plus the cost was almost nothing.

[@kate2create738]

Have to say, I think you found the perfect gray that is timeless. It adds depth and warmth to your home, making the space look cozy and livable. This is coming from someone who avoids neutrals because to me (personally) most neutral colored walls just don't look like a family lives there, but yours does and it was refreshing 🙂 Every room was beautifully maintained and has the classic character every home should have. I'd say it could be on a home decor magazine because of how welcoming it looks.

[@OldWorldHome]

Thank you so much that’s very kind 💛

[@peggymohr7899]

You have accomplished a beautiful traditional comfortable home. Great taste.

[@trudymckay1753]

I watch other channels and I am silently comparing them to you Hilary, since I started watching you a couple of years ago, you have really opened my eyes to what is important in my home and what is not! I have purged and looked at the items in my home in a whole new light! I watch other channels and it bothers me to see such clutter and yet they are still doing dollar tree hauls and thrift store hauls of lots of items but they no idea what they are going to do with them!! I was never a clutter bug, I love things organized and in its place, you have taught me how I can live with so much less though and I am truly grateful for that! God bless you and your family, I love your videos and look for a new one all the time! Lol

[@GrandmaSandy]

Oh I love the mantle that you did on this fireplace that is my favorite thing you did to that fireplace that really makes everything so much nicer in your living room

[@tabithathomas6581]

I have been following you for quite some time. I love how humble and down to earth you are. Thank you for sharing❤️

[@GrandmaSandy]

We like the way it is right now with the desk could you put the book library wall down in the basement and make a Den in your basement and put a library wall down there instead .I love the hardware on the doors it’s so pretty and looks so awesome

[@goodycitizen]

I'm four days late to the party and you may never read this comment, but thanks for the reminder (the Holy Spirit and you) to be grateful for my home. It was built in 1900 and she's showing her age, so often it's not so "fun" or "pretty" but I am grateful for a roof over my head!!

[@CreativeDIYwithMomDas]

You have put a lot of thought, feelings and hard work in this house. Your home is looking better with every step. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

[@HLB512]

I had to pause the video after you showed the first pics of the bathroom reno. WOW... that was like night and day! I love your home. I like the style of it.

[@OldWorldHome]

Thank you! Yes it was a huge transformation

[@gailann7813]

Always love your home yours. I love your style and how true to yourself you are. It is so refreshing. I get very disinterested in these channels that have these huge homes which all seem to be cookie cutter devoted. Your home shows thought and taste.

[@GrandmaSandy]

One room is also another beautiful area that you did an awesome job repurposing it and making it look so beautiful now from what it originally look like

[@mirielle20]

Aww, Hilary! You look so pretty and polished! As does your house. I adore that you have stayed true to your own style and taste with every aspect of your home. It’s encouraged me to mindful of that in my own home. I’m so excited to watch the progress in the basement unfold as you have time! Praying you all stay safe and well. 💐

[@barbaramathis5844]

Well said?

[@ivyheathermcdonald3502]

You home truly reflects your calm yet beautiful soul!

[@yardsalesquad]

I’ve had the joy of watching all the changes along the way, but loved this look back at how far the stone cottage has come 💙

[@authenticallyamber99]

Your home is lovely and thoughtfully designed and furnished. 💗 The size of the home is unimportant. It’s the love that makes it truly a home. ❤️ You are blessed, my friend! 💕🌸 God is good!

[@jeanneewaseck6635]

Thank you for taking us back, present, and future forward, dear Hilary!

[@laurah6381]

You definitely have a gift! I love cozy rooms and you knock it out of the park every time you decorate! Your channel has always been my favorite! Hope you are all doing well during these crazy times! 😘 ❤️

[@janicel4960]

You house is so beautiful and filled with love. I would say just keep on going with the improvements that you want to make and don't think of moving somewhere bigger or fancier.

[@msmary126]

I just love how you guys live out "love the home you're in"! You do it so well.

[@TracieClaiborne]

The reason this looks so great is because you have great taste and you’re willing to work hard. Amazing!!!!

[@DaveeKilian]

I did not realize how much work you have done to your home to change it from what it was! I'm looking forward to seeing how your basement comes along when you can start doing that:)

[@GrandmaSandy]

Love your dining room after you did all that beautiful woodwork on that one wall looks so pretty with the shelving on top of the woodwork to put your beautiful Trays on display. Thank you so much for sharing so many awesome update you did to your own and opening up the wall from the kitchen also did make a big difference on the side of that area

[@deannalynnkennedy754]

What a transformation and how beautiful. Hand crafted makes it so special

[@thediymommy]

Your home is so beautiful, Hilary! You've done so many incredible projects.

[@danavitelli]

Your home is so lovely, Hilary. I have to say that I seem to be smitten with your sun room. The work you did to it and your styling made me smile!

[@GrandmaSandy]

Very nice good size dining room in your home you are so lucky mine is so tiny it’s just really an eating area in the kitchen.

[@GrandmaSandy]

Oh my gosh this room is so adorable for your daughters can’t believe how cute you decorated everything so nice

[@gigss3439]

Great job! Love the board and batten, the porch, kitchen updates, mantle, and bathroom. Wow! Your home looks really beautiful, warm and inviting.

[@GrandmaSandy]

Your bathroom was beautiful when you were done reading that you guys put a lot of work and time into this home and you were getting all of your return back because it looks awesome.

[@suzannebartholomew547]

Thanks for sharing your home tour. The house is looking wonderful. I'm excited to watch your basement evolve.

[@newenglandcoast-b4p]

I am always amazed at the transformation you made in both the kitchen and bath! They are gorgeous. Your whole home is lovely and tasteful!

[@shesacamper1497]

Love the new window treatment in your bedroom! Looks awesome! Your style is unique Hilary and you and Dan have done an excellent job fixing up your home in such a short time.

[@terrystarnes4413]

Your home is so lovely & I can feel the love you have put into making it a wonderful home. ❤️

[@tobeytravels893]

Perfectly done. Love the flow, as each room relates to the entire home. Looking forward to the finished basement tour.

[@sandramadaris7814]

Beautiful!!! Just live what you have done, how you have decorated it, and the overall charm. What a sweet family home!!!

[@balboathedog]

What a masterpiece! What an incredible skill to see the before and create the after!

[@katt6894]

Beautiful as always Hilary! I’ve really enjoyed watching the transformations you and your husband have been doing all throughout your home. It’s so warm and cozy. You give me a lot of inspiration for my own home as well. I hope you and your family enjoy it for many years to come!

[@nancymiller4678]

You have done a beautiful job updating your home to reflect the personalities of your family. I love your curtains in your master bedroom - they definitely make it adult cozy! SO impressed!

[@barbaracorbell4232]

WHAT A CHARMING TRANSFORMATION. I LOVE EVERYTHING YOU HAVE DONE. GOOD JOB, YOU TWO. HOW NICE TO HAVE A MATE WITH SIMILAR CREATIVITY AND IDEAS!!!!

[@GrandmaSandy]

Awesome job on your floor and the paint color you put on your wall and I can’t wait to see the basement finished when you’re done sounds like you were going to almost double the size of your home is that basement gets done. I have a very small home also I have 1000 square-foot home but I do have two bathrooms three bedrooms but every room is very small. But I do have big closets and I believe it or not I even have a pantry in my small kitchen

[@vickinoeske1711]

The new window treatments in your master bedroom are beautiful and add so much style.

[@IamSnowbird]

I think your kitchen is the most amazing redo.

[@alicetowery4402]

Your home is charming and inviting. You are doing a fabulous job of remodeling.

[@lisaremy4817]

I absolutely love how you have decorated your home! It’s so beautiful and warm.

[@deniseborchardt4491]

Looks great! I love that you made curtains for the bedroom with the spare duvet. I always look forward to your videos and can't wait to see the finished basement!

[@patriciaconiglio6717]

What a lovely surprise to see your video this morning. Love your home and how you keep tweaking it to get it just right. I have been in my home 45 years and I am always tweaking my rooms to keep them fresh. Those little touches really make a big difference in keeping us in love with our homes. Love the attention to detail that you and Dan do things in your home. Can’t wait to see your bookcase wall and the basement finished. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home and sweet family. May God bless you all.

[@jodollman8136]

It's fun to see how far you and Dan have come in transforming this house into a home in just three short years. It looks so charming.

[@bf4744]

Love the look of your home. It has been a lot of work but it definitely paid off. Can't wait until the basement remodel project starts back. Really missing your daily videos.

[@leem200]

I missed you My computer broke and when I got a new one I could not find you!!!! Low and behold you popped up. I love your kids and you. I love your home. Its warm and inviting, very good taste and it is not a cookie cutter home. It has your taste and style, adding much warmth and character to the home. You are a young smart lady and you should be proud of yourself. So happy to have your channel back I have to do catch up now. I lost you when you moved into the house. Did the dinning area and wall. God Bless your lovely family and you.

[@OldWorldHome]

So glad you’re back, thank you for the kind words 🤗

[@reniehandler2595]

Doing all the improvements yourself is what makes everything that much more meaningful! A labor of love. Your children will grow up knowing that a little hard work will make something go from meh to marvelous!!! Can't wait for all the improvements to come!!! xo 🌈☀️

[@mslady1521]

It is so beautiful. I love watching your upgrades and can't wait for the basement.

[@annekemahabeer5130]

Your house gets lovely sunlight. My house very dark and cold. Enjoyed your video. Love from South Africa

[@neweverymorningmercy3491]

I love your home too. The house is brick and mortar but you and your husband have made it a home. So special.

[@donna8212]

Good to see you Hilary! I love your home too ☺️. It’s so warm, welcoming and not to mention cozy 😊. You’ve both done a fabulous job on all the projects. Perfect home to raise your sweet little family. 🥰🏡☀️🌲

[@jenl.4051]

Your home has come a long way, it's so beautiful! 💕 And those new curtains in your master 😍, they really elevate the space!

[@GrandmaSandy]

Thank you so much for sharing this before and after house tour that you put together for us in this video really enjoyed it you did an awesome job putting this video together for us to do enjoy

[@belyndaperry7877]

Your home looks absolutely beautiful. Your renovations are so well done and impactful. I really enjoy seeing your ideas come to life - so inspiring.

[@jessicag814]

You have a beautiful home, Hillary. I’ve enjoyed seeing all the changes over the years.

[@TheRealLydiaSenn]

The bathroom tile is my favorite.

[@GrandmaSandy]

Place looks very nice want to repaint again I think what you did probably was the best thing we could’ve done without spending a ton of money and making a giant mess

[@GrandmaSandy]

Those beds your daughter have there so pretty I love that finished thank you so much for sharing it with us

[@vickinoeske1711]

As the decades old commercial used to say "you've come a long way baby"!

[@GrandmaSandy]

Your kitchen turned out beautiful thank you so much for sharing that project also it really made the kitchen looks so much bigger and bring it in later the way all the cabinets look and then the beautiful island table in the center

[@andree824]

It's been a delight to watch, and a real credit to both you and Dan on how you've transformed this house into the beautiful home it is today. I love your style, and can't wait to see how the basement turns out.

[@janetpeterson6187]

I really do love your home. So interesting and warm and cozy all in one!! We bought a small home when the kids were 6 and 10. We are still there. They are both in their 40’s now and of course live with their own families. Our house was the neighborhood go to house. When it made sense to buy a bigger house, they wouldn’t hear of it. So it is just the hubby and me plus the dog. Plenty of space now! And I love it!! Thank you for sharing! Take care.

[@OldWorldHome]

Oh I love that so much, people gather where they feel welcome 💛

[@FortheLoveofOrganizing]

Love your space so much! Blessings to your sweet family. 💞

[@tammyroyal7547]

You have such a beautiful family & home!! You & your husband have done such an amazing job updating your home!! I love all of the thought & detail that you have put into it.

[@ellenross1947]

Oh Hilary....the before and after.....amazing...so so beautiful

[@lynnehampton1777]

Hi Hilary. You have really done a lot of renovations. You have such a lovely home. They say Love grows best in little houses. What a difference in your bathroom from the pink. Such a warm cozy home. Thank you so much for sharing. Take care. God Bless.

[@silviathomas3224]

I love lots of things about your videos. I love the fact that you guys are doing things slowly and obviously a lot of DIY yourselves and that you live in an older home. I live in a farmhouse that dates from 1898 9 (Queensland.Australia) and when I first moved here in the late 90s belonged to my husbands parents. It had lots of dark pine, outdated wallpaper and a very run down old blue bath and bathroom. We have slowly renovated and updated over the years as we have saved and then done most of the work ourselves. It is refreshing to see that others take a slower approach also. Thanks

[@OldWorldHome]

Sounds so lovely! Slow and steady and plenty of mistakes along the way but that’s how you learn right? 🤗💛

[@orsie200]

I love your home, Hillary! We love our home, which is 3,000 square feet with just two people here. Your channel inspires me to do projects and to keep our home neat and tidy. I appreciate your channel so much!

[@Ninaluv118]

I love ALL of the updates that you’ve done! And I love how you are budget conscious with it because it’s realistic and encouraging.

[@GrandmaSandy]

Have such a beautiful woodwork all the way through your home I just love how everything looks so beautiful

[@Jean-ni6of]

Your home is beautiful. The finishing touch is the happy family living it. All my best to the happy family living in your home.

[@KristynLorraine]

It's really an amazing transformation. From dated to timeless. 💜 I am shamelessly jealous of your lilacs. It has been so cold in Michigan that the poor things haven't bloomed yet. I always put lilacs and lilies of the valley all around my house for Mother's day, but this year I cut azaleas with a little bleeding heart. Pretty, but they lack the scent I associate with Mother's day. Maybe Memorial day! 🤞

[@marymartinez8047]

Love all the updates to your house; those changes have made a house your home. Looking forward to the library wall. Hoping it gives me the kickstart to finally flank our fireplace with shelves and seats!

[@athomewithshushana]

You guys did so much work and everything looks so beautiful 😍. I cannot wait to see that basement once its done. I know its going to be Fantastic. Great job you guys. Tfs

[@4everyoung24]

You’ve done a great job! Nice traditional cottage look. I especially love the twin beds and bed covers ❤️❤️ What a sweet little room.

[@romac941]

You can buy a safety anchor for a floor mirror, so there’s that option. Everything looks beautiful.

[@manuelag2128]

I really Love The kitchen, please keep The Wood cabinats🌹

[@cynthia6055]

All so beautiful ~ I have loved seeing all the lovely updates you have done!

[@tanyajohnston8262]

you have a beautiful home. I love smaller homes as they have more character and less space to get lost in. Great family home. I love the changes and upgrades you have done. It is actually nice that you don't have the basement rooms yet while the children are younger and more family time is spent together rather than separated by a floor. Enjoy.

[@GrandmaSandy]

I love your room too it’s very pretty I’m sure eventually You will get a bigger room down the road we always have to make do it one point in our life you are doing an awesome job raising your children with awesome values

[@mariettedemarest5173]

Love the warm and comfortable feel of your home.

[@lindachapman9765]

I love what you have done, every aspect is so nicely done, I love your cosy bedroom, I would have loved to have seen your outdoor space, thankyou for showing us around xx

[@gpace9751]

Everything is just beautiful. You have done a great job and everything you do is so sensible and in such good taste. Very impressive. Can't wait to see more of what you do.

[@pameladilley8515]

I follow you here and on Instagram. I love seeing your home. Although I’m into colorful boho, I think your home is beautiful! Keep doing your thing! I love how you gave the fireplace a refresh, using what you had.
