So beautiful. I also think painting your cabinet knobs to match your mirror would be lovely.

[@MarthasMuWz]

The mirror is so handsome, it is worth the 48 hours ;) The painted dresser with the square vessel sink and gold pump-style faucet all work so beautifully. You both really cracked me up. I appreciate seeing a couple work together and have fun at the same time.

[@marthasullivan7521]

I'm always up for one of your adventures! SUGGESTION: build a ledge to set the mirror on to make it plumb, then position the vanity just below the ledge so the mirror looks like they belong together. Do Not Glue the mirror and count on it staying! EVER! All the Best from New York State!

[@barbaracarlson1331]

Agree with you!

[@carolvillanueva3728]

I agree too. 😊

[@lynnegaffney6209]

Great advice.

[@melonmahfood2439]

You absolutely made the right decision to paint the vanity, it's gorgeous!

[@debbralehrman5957]

When you show the after picture it looks like something from a magazine shoot. The wall color is just perfect to set everything else off. Bravo!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🌹

[@peggysteely3537]

Beautiful. You could use gold rub and buff on your cabinet to accent the design features

[@sueleeg3215]

I love that low profile sink on the cabinet especially with the faucet.

[@kathywiszowaty4607]

Looks beautiful. The modern sink really is a nice juxtaposition with antique/vintage cabinet!!!✌️&❤

[@susandickerson2663]

My first thought was, what if you need to remove the mirror to repaint (even same color) in a few years?

[@florenceumpherville8560]

I would have glued a strip of wood on the back of the mirror with holes and measured carefully to attach holders in the holes! Hubby did this in our basement library room

[@bambrick25]

That's exactly what I was thinking

[@kathyl5610]

Each to his own.

[@lindadelacy9330]

You've OUTDONE yourselves, you two!! LOVE how the vanity came out!!! I really like how the sink looks with the antique cabinet. Absolutely fabulous! xxoo

[@patriciawilliamsn9605]

Vanity & sink are perfect together. You might consider painting the knobs on the vanity gold to match the mirror and the legs on the tub.

[@Santas77]

I like the combination of the more modern sink with the antique cabinet. It gives it a unique look! Doing great with all the work you have been doing!

[@kimwenzel5575]

Beautiful! You and Phillip have so much fun while working together.

[@oeoshutton1194]

Paint the back of the door green like the walls it will be more seamless, I believe. Instead of the real dark wood door. Looks amazing great job you have all done.

[@susancarroll7697]

If you hung the mirror with a cleat then you could reposition side to side, it would hold a ton of weight, and the bottom would hang plumb even if the walls aren’t.

[@tinamcivor2996]

Yes! A French cleat is a great way to hang something this heavy. The glue alone would have me stressing.

[@rosedouglas9586]

I absolutely love the green walls with the white vanity and that gorgeous gold framed mirror and sconces. So classy and beautiful! ❤

[@karennance3719]

Rub and buff in gold would be beautiful on the detail of your cabinet, it’s a beautiful piece❤

[@mikkileon6380]

My arms hurt watching you hold up that mirror lol. It looks amazing. It has all come together perfectly. I love the faucet. I want to see water pouring out of it. Yeah it’s beautiful and the balance of the mirror. The sink the vanity is perfect 😍. The colors were so perfect. Every detail that green is so gorgeous it’s light and cozy. You seriously have pulled several rabbits out of a hat👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🫶🏼

[@tenashofner1451]

It's absolutely gorgeous Elysia. I can't wait to see the bathroom when it's totally done. I'm over here trying to visualize it from seeing bits and pieces of it finished. Lol!!!

[@tinadunn2772]

Hey guys!! Sorry I havent reached out in a while. You know , life!! BUT GOD IS GOOD!! I hope you had an awesome Easter; mine was awesome! Elysia/Phillip, you two are amazing!! You have worked so hard on your homestead. You are absolutely an inspiration,, and my comedy relief!!! I giggle with you so much!! Keep up the good work! Squeeze those fine looking young men and know you are loved and covered in prayer like family!!!!

[@ToriE1073]

Your bathroom is looking beautiful! I love the green, the shower, tub, floors, sink, faucet and curtains so much!!

[@deebeckham4754]

Amazing transformation of a vintage bathroom. ❤❤❤❤

[@user-xz2nc9wh2x]

It looks wonderful, but why the heck would you ever consider gluing this heavy thing to your wall?

[@kathyl5610]

Because they plan on leaving it there. And it is very secure.

[@l.e.bingham6643]

Wow absolutely stunning 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💖🥰💯💫🛁🪞

[@Jo.H.]

Love how the cabinet turned out. The tap is lovely.

[@user-hs4qr8de4p]

the bathroom is looking beautiful.

[@patriciapepe3013]

Absolutely gorgeous!! Love it so much! The white of that gorgeous vanity looks so beautiful against the green. So glad you kept the knobs and painted them white - it's perfect.

[@purplewombat1923]

Your new vanity is gorgeous painted white but I'm surprised you didn't paint the knobs gold!

[@kimthomson3761]

It looks absolutely gorgeous painted white...it makes the mirror pop. So far ur bathroom looks incredible.

[@jerileegant6719]

Love, love, love this cabinet! When you first started painting it I thought oh no. But again you were right!! I love it!! Gteat job.❤❤❤

[@gailrhodes2859]

Love the mirror and the green paint looks beautiful!!! Love the vanity!!!!!

[@user-rq6ld2uf2f]

What a beautiful bathroom, you guys did a great job.

[@jodytroudt3239]

I’m always in awe of your design and refurbishing - bathroom looks amazing!

[@kathyortiz4302]

You so right the the green and white are soooo beautiful together

[@user-er4mg5vi7m]

It’s a beautiful setup. It looks so much nicer that what was there beforehand! ♥️

[@shstuff52]

The vanity & mirror are BEAUTIFUL!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ them!!!! I hope that glue holds on the mirror……. ♥️💙💙💙🤟🤟🤟🤟

[@deborahwhite2339]

The bathroom is looking beautiful. I can't wait for more.🤟

[@ellenkelley6173]

Oh My!!! It's Beautiful Elysia. I knew you would make it lovely. Good job. to both of you!

[@cjg8822]

Get some beautiful decorative trays(gold trim w/mirror bottom) for each side on top of vanity to keep from cleaning nonstop .

[@Nausome_nana]

You guys are so cute together. The vanity, sink,faucet,mirror and sconces look awesome. This bathroom is going to be beautiful.❤️❤️

[@lindabullock742]

WOW…that cabinet is GORGEOUS…I’m not usually one for painting old furniture but it certainly was a great choice…your bathroom is looking amazing and I can’t wait to see it all put together and finished..great job Guys…🥰🇦🇺

[@margaretfrosst575]

Another awesome part of the washroom completed.

[@chipper841]

WOW! What an amazing transformation of this entire room! Makes one wanna just come in and enjoy!👍👍

[@amandabradley6256]

The cabinet is just absolutely beautiful ❤

[@mlm7598]

I've been awaiting this video. So glad to see it up. Everything is looking marvelous and anxiously awaiting to see the rest. I am not a huge fan of painted old furniture either but in this situation, I think it is PERFECT! Excited to see the rest, I love the remodels you do. Loving the green and would love to see the knobs in bronze/gold. It's just beautiful.

[@ToriE1073]

Yeah I was so sad and still internally cry every time I see the paint. But she did a wonderful job as always and she loves it, so that’s the most important thing. ❤

[@janhunt6214]

New vanity and mirror are gorgeous!

[@Hollybank5]

I love the look ❤❤ The mirror, the vanity, the sink, the green & white … !!!! Gorgeous ❤❤❤❤

[@kathyl5610]

Too late I’m sure, but the cabinet looks absolutely beautiful and I don’t want you to scuff it up. The entire bathroom looks beautiful. Great job as usual, but I never expected anything less. you and Philip always do a great job and this job is outstanding. Take care, stay safe.

[@christiemay4444]

The vanity and mirror are perfect!!! Beautiful!

[@sharonmaresh]

Beautiful! When Phil handed you a soda, my thought was, 'No! She'll have to pee, but she's holding the mirror!' 😂😂 My faith in your ability to create something fabulous continues! 😊

[@ElysiaEnglish]

hahahah so funny!

[@vickiecrouch6041]

Gross

[@lesliejackson8188]

​@@ElysiaEnglish *I thought the SAME THING Sharon did...was Philip trying to make Elysia stand, holding the mirror flush to the wall, while crossing her legs to avoid peeing on the floor⁉️🙉 Elysia, how long did you end up holding the mirror 🪞 up before it was secure enough for you to let go?*

[@sandraclark8413]

Very nice and the white looks good.

[@robinwoods9961]

This bathroom and vanity looks fabulous. I can't wait to see the finishing touches.

[@ladyangi100]

It's absolutely beautiful 😊😊🎉

[@kymkevern1359]

Gorgeous Vanity. That Sink!🫶🏻

[@chippewagirl7299]

You have done an amazing renovation on your bathroom. It looks beautiful and in such a large space for a bathroom. The before and after is truly amazing.

[@judiewoodward9756]

Perfection. Beautiful.

[@lindapeterson7166]

Hi Elysia Philip & boys,oh my goodness,I love your beautiful vanity,it is so perfect for your B\R.Take care & have a great week!❤

[@margarettallett762]

SOOOO beautiful Elysia! Great vision & fab execution of your dream. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@abarlow86]

Vanity looks really nice! You may want to add a good coat of clear wax to the front and top to help add a water barrier for the wood. Looks great with your walls!

[@mandywells2934]

Absolutely stunning!!!!! Love the choices and results so far! Cant wait to see the next step. Dreamy 😍

[@ginacapecchi]

I would have nailed a temporary 2x4 on bottom and top of the mirror horizontally and then tacked a2x4 vertically to hold the mirror in place until dried!

[@sandrabragg9547]

I love the cabinet. But it needs a touch of gold either on the knobs or something to make it blend together. Love it!!!

[@anitabruzelius3905]

I think the vanity with the modern sink looks great, I love the contrast! I would use a little goldvax instead of distressing, And that's from someone who doesn't like gold that much :-) It will look good either way.

[@melodytwitchell4898]

Hi Elysian oh my goodness absolutely beautiful beautiful everything beautiful love love love it beautiful well done guys loves ❤️ 😍 💖 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@rebeccabayaird8764]

Turned out so good. It’s beautiful.

[@paulas825]

Beautiful Elysia! Maybe consider a dry brush of gold over the cabinet details. 😊💜

[@lauriedunn6198]

Absolutely beautiful! Some of my family have that style faucet with the bowl sink and the water pressure had to be adjusted so it didn't swoop right out of the bowl lol. I don't think that will be a problem with the rectangular sink--It looks just right on that vanity.

[@hollyknoll6138]

Sooooo stunning

[@debralawler-nt9si]

It's absolutely beginning and the vessel sink works it just works

[@deloisphillips831]

I really like the sink with the cabinet! Beautiful!

[@johnniewaters3726]

Great taste and style😊

[@tinaward8514]

Wow looks awesome! I love it ! You both have out done yourselves on every project you set out to do. I love you all ❤

[@dianelopes8199]

looks just stunning , i dont think though i would just trust that mirror glue to hold it up lol ,ii be a nervous wreck in case it falls while kids brushing there teeth , i would put 4 fancy brackets on the four corners just in case and wouldn't take away beauty of the mirror , but stunning love it and love that green wall

[@mwilliamson3989]

So gorgeous! ❤so proud of each project that you complete! It’s amazing how much you accomplish! ❤

[@TheNeeblez]

Beautiful!

[@Robindigsit]

Quick, hold my mirror! 😂 I think it looks fabulous!

[@ShirasongMusic]

So happy for you Elysia. You make me smile too. 😀

[@miriantalbot6772]

A customized ledge under the mirror will look great and you can use a decorative items !

[@shirleyaustin681]

Nice idea - but think dust collectors. 😏 Sorry, but this was my first thought, being the owner of a house filled with dust collectors! Otherwise, the bathroom is gorgeous so far. I can't wait to see the gold feet on the bathtub!! With best regards from Michigan. 😊❤

[@lindawatson8087]

The bathroom turned out amazing. That green is my bathroom color.

[@kimwilliams193]

Wow! Beautiful! I think some gold rub-n-buff would look great on the knobs also. :)

[@martig.garcia495]

Really lovely 🎉

[@NYMusic89563]

You should have used a wire on the back of the frame. Then you could put a block under the bottom edge so it’s kicked out at the bottom and doesn’t follow the mansard roof.

[@anitaassad4499]

Golden knobs would be beautiful.

[@leem200]

Can hear you fine. The sink looks good, I agree about high lighting the knobs and design lightly. Would stand it out and tone it down enough it looks older. I am with you on painting old pieces but this was a given. Peace!

[@bonniegould3319]

Love what u all are doing n your family is amazing, what a great life for you all n amazing childhood for your boys❤

[@doloresbingham7956]

It turned out gorgeous super job. You guys be safe God bless.

[@lisagrafton2529]

You may want to consider putting kickplates under the cabinet, behind the feet, to prevent dirt and hair from blowing under the cabinet, making it very hard to clean. Having a kickplate on the front and sides, but far enough back, so they're not readily seen, would save a lot of dirt from getting under there. You could caulk the kickplate to the floor, so dust can't blow under it.

[@heather87135]

It looks SO beautiful!!!😍🤗💚🤍

[@carolynh.5158]

The cabinet is coming out great. I bet you can't wait until all the final touches are done.

[@khill6510]

You're definitely stronger than I am!! Looking great.

[@elanajackson6858]

I wasn't going to say anything but...LOL you two are great!

[@acs328]

It looks so beautiful. I don’t soak in a tub often either but I think I’d make an exception in a bathroom like that. ❤❤❤. I can’t wait to see the final reveal.

[@user-eu7jb8ev8t]

Love it... Yet I would find studs in the wall and drill through the frame and screw into wall, then fill the holes paint .. Really I be worried with the colder temps and this mirror come crashing down on one of the kids...

[@sharonwilliams6962]

Can't wait to see the finished results as it seems like a life time? I understand you had a lot of trouble with your bath.you are both so clever.love from Wales🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿xxxx

[@OnlyKingJames]

The bathroom is absolutely beautiful! I love seeing old and new mixed together. It doesn't feel dated, just collected over time. I do this in my home as well.

[@deballen8046]

Have you thought about using gold rub and buff to enhance the details of this lovely piece? It would work with your gold mirror and faucet

[@4MEANY]

Looks fantastic!!! Great job and you should be so proud!!!

[@francinemendoza6093]

Build support to hold it up

[@helengesell2668]

It's beautiful. If anything, I'd add some of that green in the handles.

[@jeanhorne5893]

It is beautiful love it.Can’t wait to see the bathroom complete. I know it’s going to be beautiful.God bless you and your family.Love the colors.

[@joo2093]

Love that faucet

[@melindaivey4772]

Like the modern sink and faucet. Everything is nice. I would never glue a mirror to the wall. Not a good idea. Figure something out like a ledger board or hooks on the frame. Good luck!! Bathroom is looking amazing
