We've Got The SAME End Goal | My Airbnb Project in Carlisle PA | Crazy Lamp Lady

[@beckyolivia1545]

To think people are stressed out about anything in your videos crack me up. I'm happy that you found something to bring you joy. You deserve good things Jocelyn.

[@elainegill2619]

Yes I agree👍

[@tassie2348]

Same!!!

[@dianeedwards9687]

Also, you owe no one an explanation for what or why you choose to do things a certain way. I'm so happy you are happy and having fun and learning new things. God Bless you. I love you and your channel. 😊

[@Sunnyreads8]

And we get to smile at all the different personalities in her comment section.

[@debbiemorgan8859]

Jocelyn I think you're doin fine with everything don't worry about what others think you should do I'm enjoying watching the videos I just wanted to share a thought I would roll up that pretty rug for now til the room is ready to decorate people will be walkin on it including you as you hang stuff and especially wall paper I would only roll it out when you're ready to decorate so it doesn't get dirty just a thought also you may want to include child friendly dishes also and I wouldn't put much into pots and pans people may not take care with them just a suggested keep up the good work we are learning with you.

[@A_New_View]

I think restaurant wear is the best choice , the one thing people will remember about this Airbnb is we stayed at the “crazy lamp lady’s” place, it’s supposed to be a representation of you and that’s exactly what you need to make it , what ever you love! I think that’s what is so cool about you decorating it and doing the work it’s been fun watching and your a breath of fresh air to watch! And funny! 😂

[@juliettesterner2754]

That thin foam under the outlet cover is insulation to block drafts. It's a good idea to use them under switch and outlet covers that are on walls that have the outside on the other side... vs interior walls, especially. But best to use under all covers.

[@chantillychandra]

Our pest control company also recommended using them.😊

[@ruslanakakhrumanov2264]

Learned something new. Thank you

[@colettebates6482]

Thanks for this info. Really appreciate it.

[@pampritchard4200]

This video is hilarious, Jocelyn. You are back to your old self ! For anyone who is OCD over upcycling and decorating, there are plenty of perfectionists channels to follow. Your organised chaos is your unique selling point, dont ever change ❤

[@TeeGreen222]

I’m a bit OCD/perfectionist myself, however, the OCD/perfectionist channels stress me out. They don’t seem genuine for one thing. I admire and respect Jocelyn’s style. Great business woman and great communicator - a great human!

[@marywilkinson4796]

Before my husband past we bought a fixer upper, shortly after we moved in he had a stroke so wasn’t able to do the work, so I started doing it myself I removed a built in devider cabinet to open up the kitchen and a few other minor things before I had to concentrate on taking care of him I’m 76 now and still doing things as I can I already learned enough electrical to change out all the electric outlets and switches, I also replaced the light in my laundry room, patio and front porch I am in the middle of sanding my bathroom to paint it and replace the floor tiles I’m also going to replace the outdoor carpet on my porch. Not hire someone but do it myself So I appreciate the work you are doing bravo 💜

[@RandyAndNorma]

76 and still going strong 💪 Bravo 👏 I'm 64 and couldn't do half the things you do! Way to go🎉🎉

[@tassie2348]

My god, you legend!!!

[@CrazyLampLady]

There just something more gratifying about doing it yourself, right?! Good luck on the carpet project!

[@dianaflegal4495]

Way to go, girl! You are an inspiration to us all. 🎉

[@lovebeaches4255]

Jocelyn, I struggle with how much some of your viewers feel the need to insert themselves into your life and how at times, you take it to heart. You are such an inspiration to the rest of your followers and we thank you. There is nothing wrong with what you are going through and how you are feeling right now. You are an extremely successful person who has a rich personal life. You do you! It has worked for you up until now. While your life is out there for us to see, your life is yours. I am old, so my life experience has taught me a lot. Just know, you are on the right track and you have a beautiful family, from your parents, to your children and Andrew. Please don't let strangers define you. Only you are in control of your life

[@savvyheart369]

👏👏👏👏👏 💛 👏👏👏👏👏

[@bevcollins6937]

Could not have said it better.

[@divinelyguidedblessings5251]

Beautiful Words. 💛💚🤎🧡💜💙

[@lovebeaches4255]

@divinelyguidedblessings5251 Thank you! Why doesn't everybody just mind their own business? That is a big job, lol

[@mamabear5789]

Jocelyn, thank you for being vulnerable on your DIY AirBNB journey! It takes a while to learn a lot of these skills. AND it is totally normal to make MULTIPLE trips to the home improvement store! And I love your attitude "we will get there eventually!"

[@jayneforster4704]

Jocelyn, you are hysterical to watch navigate diy decorating. The fact that everyone is weighing in doesn’t surprise me. Have fun!!

[@gretchenblase3296]

You should make a secured/locked room in that back area of the basement where you keep tools, supplies, seasonal decorations, etc that you want to leave there and still be safe.

[@robynboling9833]

Very good idea!

[@cathifamjourney469]

I was thinking the same. I'm sure she's thought about that already but hey a reminder isn't bad!

[@amyutah1934]

I stayed at an Airbnb in Lewisville, Idaho. It was so well stocked we felt like we were home. Variety of mixing and serving bowls, small appliances, cups, mugs, pots, pans. Everyone's favorite thing was the coffee, tea, hot cocoa station. Big variety of flavors. Sweeteners, syrups, spiced apple cider, etc. She even had the disposable cups for hot drinks. One of the bottom drawers had fun play dishes for the kids to get into. The only thing it needed was a child proof lock on the cupboard under the sink. We improvised with a pony tail holder. Love the couch color! Excited to follow this new adventure!

[@traceynicholas1]

The foam piece under your outlet cover is insulation to keep the cold out. It should be on all the switches and outlets on your outside walls. 💜

[@janetgerow7163]

It really helps your mind, your sense of balance or grounding to be doing something different with your brain and your time. It is affirming and satisfying. I for one am proud of you, and enjoy seeing you doing something other than plodding through Goodwill. That is not to say you shouldn’t do it, but this is kinda like a vacation for your spirit for now.❤️

[@marggyreppeto-pi6re]

Your not stressing me out. I love watching home makeovers and it's fun watching you thrift items for the house. Like I said before, you're an independent, resourceful woman and I'm sure you are teaching your daughters that also. 🤗 Keep up the good work Jocelyn 👍

[@pammorin9037]

I think you're amazing! You just do it and learn❤. We're sooo very proud of you for just doing it and doing it and recording it! So that makes you both brave AND amazing! You go!!!!!!

[@sandycollins6850]

That foam piece under the outlet cover, usually is on an outside wall. It helps insulate the room from cold inside the exterior wall.

[@marcellawilliamson7292]

Yep - These became popular in the 70s.

[@reviveitsisters1263]

This will be sooo rewarding to you Jocelyn.. We opened our own Airbnb and decorated with all the items that we thrifted.. We decorated it like we would like it and our customers would love.. and so far ( we have only been open since this summer 2024 ) Our guests have Loved it... Our Airbnb is also in Pennsylvania, We wish you ALL The BEST...

[@lesliespradley8897]

I have to admit , this was me when I started watching your last video 🤨😳🫢😮🥴🫣 but towards the end …🤔🙂💪🏼👏🏻👍🏻😁 You are doing it!!! And, you’re right you are gonna get there. Anyone who does any kind of home improvements needs to remember that they had a FIRST project and I would be willing to bet that they didn’t stay as cool and easygoing and have the attitude of figuring it out as they went. You are having fun with it and that is amazing. That is how it should be. You told us all that this was the “something different “ you were needing. Enjoy your journey . And to everyone watching, just be happy for her and enjoy watching her get to the “end goal “ , no matter how she does it. Go Jocelyn Go !!😃

[@CrazyLampLady]

Aww. Thank-you.

[@lesliespradley8897]

@I am a 56 now and have been doing home improvements for over 30 years now and I’m not bragging but just want you to understand how far I’ve come. I can pretty much do anything cosmetic and some minor construction and electrical work . I just finished a 1 year long whole house interior renovation of our “rest of our lives home” new flooring , trim , molding, all new light fixtures, and of course painting and wallpapering. I even built our farm style dining table. I don’t do plumbing other than changing fixtures. But….. my first makeover was HORRIBLE!!! I did not have KZbin University to help me back then😂🤣 I wallpapered my bedroom by following the instructions on the slip of paper that came in the wallpaper roll. 😂I had to go to the hardware store 3 times to get the “”tools” for the job. It literally took me all day to do one wall, and I was only doing bottom half of wall. The wallpaper paste smelled so bad I slept in the liv room. Next morning I walked into bedroom and it was all falling off and was now stuck to my carpet🤣😂fast forward 1 week. I had a half wall of paper on one wall that due to frustration I had STAPLED to the wall no carpet because it was ruined and I tore it out. So my slightly out of date but nice bedroom now looked kind of like a prison cell a stunk like a glue factory. 🤣😂You are miles ahead of where I started and I can’t wait to see what all you do. You definitely have more patience and a better attitude than I did too. 😁 use KZbin and not staples and you will be fine😂🤣

[@Monica.Williams]

I love what you do. I have been watching you for years, and I am always happy when people do things that feel are right for them... NEVER CHANGE

[@elizabethroblero6370]

I think your idea of a navy blue on the bottom of the table is great and a match very well with everything even the other rooms. You’re doing a great job on the table and the more you do the better you’ll get and the easier it’ll be and then you can step back and look at what you’ve done and feel all your pride for your accomplishment.❤

[@jemmyG15]

I’d paint the console table a navy or pretty dark blue. Love that rug you put in the living room!

[@Soundslikeaplan]

I was a single mum many years ago. I took on many DIY projects and I learned as I went. I didn’t have the internet back then so I learned by trial and error. I would ask my Dad or the guy at the local DIY shop (and once my neighbour 😂) The sense of accomplishment and satisfaction after successfully completing something was a great feeling. Now 30 years later and I’m giving advice to my children now they are doing their houses up ! You do you Jocelyn. I have huge respect for your attitude and work ethic and you are a shining example for how to have that “can do” attitude 👍

[@Cynthia-ys7qq]

I love these videos! It's nice to know I'm not the only one stumbling through a home renovation learning as i go. Doing all the work myself may take me longer but I sleep real good at night knowing I did it the way I wanted it and learned a few things on the journey, Keep up the good work! I'll be watching you go Girl!

[@sarahriley4630]

This is brilliant, I am loving this for you. It's always exciting getting out of your comfort zone and doing something for yourself. Looking forward to future videos

[@NancyBedard-yb7mk]

I am loving watching you do this! I was the exact same type of person that you are, except it was about 45 years ago. I learned how to do a lot of repairs, painting , wallpapering and more and I loved it all. Unfortunately I am too old to do most of it now, but I pacify myself by doing Crafts every day. Have fun!

[@DiannaFlores-x1h]

You do you girl. It’s your project & I think it’s all good to do it yourself, like I said before, It’s your journey. Thanks for taking us along.

[@mammaduck5560]

It’s a journey , have fun and be creative. Doesn’t need to be a stressful situation.

[@tinareaume]

I think this is a fun series! You’re doing a great job and having fun is so important. I do these things with my own home, one wall goes through changes all the time. Why not? Enjoy yourself! I’m enjoying you!

[@BelindaBanas]

Oh Joselyn😂, I don't know whether to laugh, cry or cringe through your process of learning to DIY. But I appreciate your gutsy pushing through what you don't know.. What I did love is your ability to let go and allow Juliette to paint and help. As a person with I guess perfection issues, I applaud your ability to just get on with it. And surprisingly everything seems to be turning out wonderfully.❤😊

[@reneerusso8517]

I think your doing a wonderful job its all part of the learning process no ones perfect out there, we all have to learn whether it be that someone may know a little more then the next person. We all do our best and that's what counts . Its your Airbnb and it's great to ask for peoples opinions and options but in the end its really up to you and what makes you happy. Good luck and im happy for you!

[@cosmicgoatlady6957]

Dark Blue. I would suggest a couple mixing bowls, a frying pan (12 inch), a two quart and four quart sauce pans and a cookie sheet for the kitchen, as well as cooking utensils. Everything can be acquired thrifting. Don't forget a cheap new 8 cup coffee maker and a toaster for bread. It's a project. Good thing you got the house before the interest rates start rising again.

[@brendabatt6874]

Girl it's your project. You do you and I know it will be amazing.

[@lindaorme7834]

Love the idea of fixing and decorating a house with thrifted items, love watching your progress.....have fun!!

[@rebeccalott8625]

Oh my GOODNESS!!! WHY can’t ppl let you be YOU!! If they want it done faster, let them get their OWN Air B&B and keep busy going at their own pace!! Also, I really appreciate how you give the kids the opportunity to paint or help you w/o judgement or criticism!!! THANK YOU, Jocelyn for sharing your joy and peace with those of us who enjoy it!! 😊❤

[@Hoshigirl0704]

Hi Jocelyn, I have been watching you for a very long time. You are so much like I was at your age. I’m 77 and still paint and do things around my home. I was a fixer up person over the years. Also had real good teachers too. You will be glad about yourself after it’s done. Nothing like being a fixer upper. Love watching you… Enjoy your life❤❤

[@donnawisner1481]

Love the new paint color. I think your doing great. You take on so much, learn and succeed. Love your attitude. I am type A but I have too much stress in my own life to be stressed by this. I like it!!

[@sonyalarose8411]

Jocelyn your doing a great job. You do you.. you deserve to have a project that gives you joy. Enjoy the journey.

[@Cindy-WesternCanadian]

Yay that the sofa holds us heavy weights! Thanks for thinking about us. I have been waiting for two days to see what you've done next. I'm living vicariously through you.

[@asmrbombshell]

I AM OBSESSED WITH THIS SERIES! I’ve been watching you for about a year and this is so fun, real, and raw. I would have put the blue rug horizontal so the couch fits all the way across it. I LOVED the table distressing and thought you did amazing. It seriously is the best kind of stress! We’re rooting for you girl!

[@EileenMeehan-q4g]

The foam sheet you pulled off from around the outlet was an insulation piece. My husband loved those things in our 100year old house.

[@teresamatthews1164]

Hi! Love watching this series. It is so obvious that you have found an adventure that gives you a new sense of purpose and breathes fresh ideas and incentive into your life. We all have to start somewhere when taking on new projects. I can’t imagine having to do this in front of thousands of people. Take the helpful advice and discard the negative. You have fun do the best you can. You will look back when you’re done with a sense of pride and achievement that you did this on your own. Love to see the shine on your face again. A big pat on the back to your parents for raising an independent and strong young woman. 🇨🇦

[@Averagejennscrafting]

Having the restaurant ware makes so much more sense. Your entire channel was based on thrifting and I’ve watched you pick up restaurant ware for years. I love that this is your air b & b to put your stamp on it. Mismatched restaurant dinnerware and happy colors, birds are you IMHO. Can’t wait to see the continued progress. 😊

[@donnamonroe4105]

I love that you are so patient with your stressed out viewers! I dont think i could manage it as well as you and with such good humor! I used to be a bit stressed in the past at the disorganization in your old shop until i figured out that you knew where things were and had your own way of doing things. You would not be where you are today if you had not followed your own impulses and passion and that is what we love about you! 😊

[@andrealucas2238]

I love everything you are doing with the house! That couch is very cool and it is so awesome that everything is machine washable! Ignore the keyboard warriors who are overly critical! They just wish they had drive, energy, imagination and fine business sense that you have! You have built yourself a beautiful little empire and I have enjoyed watching your journey over the years!

[@susanfraser6371]

Even before you added the comment at the end of the video I was thinking about how you have used your natural intelligence and curiosity to build a very successful business. I may be wrong, but I think you are embarking on this new venture precisely because you love to learn and add new skills to your "toolkit". Your way of learning is your way of learning. It's experiential and experimental. Have fun with it!!! 😊

[@lorrainebritton3802]

Oh love, you do you, never change As it’s the reason I watch. You bring joy into our lives whether it’s thrifting, antiquing, family time or decorating. learning is fun and you can say I did this. when you have your decor in, it will all come together and look fantastic! Yes please do a lovely rich navy on the table. The people who don’t like it can jog on! Anyways love to all from the uk 🇬🇧 x

[@elainegill2619]

Well said👍

[@velmacoen4485]

What you found under the outlet cover is a little piece of insulation just to block drafts that can come through an outlet. You can buy them to fit exactly. Have fun decorating!!

[@SD-pd2qt]

You could use one of the rooms in the basement to store things for the Air BNB, like cleaning supplies, paper towels, toilet paper, dish soap, & etc. and put a lock on the door. Just an idea. Looking good!👍

[@thecrafteaneighbor5177]

I stayed at an Air B&B that did that very thing.

[@robinlundgren9792]

I love that color on the wall. that mirror was a steal! so beautiful.. mirrors are SO expensive! perfect! I love that you are doing it yourself and putting your touch on it. you have fun and learn. love it.

[@kristyinindy7799]

Hang in there and enjoy yourself! That's the point and all the fun! Everyone has to have a first. Jumping in is the hardest part and you've already done that!🎉

[@kimredmond3550]

No stress here! Loving the variety in the videos these days. Good for you and for us. I’ve been a dealer/reseller thru antique malls for over 25 years and no matter how much you like what you do, it can feel like an endless slog if you aren’t making an effort to learn new things and then finding new ways to use your knowledge and skills. I’ve learned a lot from you and been entertained at the same time. Thank you. ❤

[@janetgerow7163]

You go girl!!!! Do what your heart tells ya!

[@tamierenner4168]

I love that you are doing this. I love fixing up my house myself. I grew up in this house, so I know my house. Have fun and enjoy getting to know your house! So much fun to watch your learning process.

Love your choice of mismatched restaurant ware❣️A woman after my own heart❤

[@SusanKorn-gh3bp]

Personally I love watching you learn all this stuff. You're reminding me how brave you need to be! It's a new adventure and I love that you're sharing with us!

[@danahudson4398]

I'm enjoying watching you decorate your AirB&B. It's funny that people get stressed out about it.

[@LindaKayHolevas]

I stay in a lot of Airbnb’s & I’ve seen a lot of different choices when it comes to dishes. I personally love when the dishes are mixed & match. There was one Airbnb in particular I stayed in while in San Diego that was decorated with a lot of Mexican pottery, including the dishes. It was fun to choose what dish I was going to use for dining. I am loving watching you get through this project! I fell behind in watching your videos because life has been so busy, but I’m starting to get caught up now:)

[@barbettewelsh2358]

I really like the idea of the mismatched dishes- it has charm and to many will help the bnb to feel like home.

[@CrazyLampLady]

It was a wonderful suggestion, for sure! 😊

[@braindead5599]

Restaurant wear is fine and could be lovely if you have a full set, but mismatched is TACKY. I know you want it to look nice but it looks cheap to not have matching dishes.

[@krey151]

You are doing a fantastic job. You are definitely a go getter and I love all the progress you’ve made.

[@barbarabeard6017]

That's Hilarious!!! We are Types A or B!!! Yep! Saw that immediately so glad you had fun sorting us!!! Attorney for 42 yrs here, legal secretary for 13 years prior! Trained for Type A and proud of it. 😂😂😂 love your restaurant ware choice. Great idea, comfortable for guests. Harvey Houses (stopovers with restaurants and rooms for passengers) along the RRs were started late 1800s. Probably had restaurant ware. I always want to do things myself also. Its such fun and you learn so much! Bought my current house about 12 years ago, closest friend couldn't believe I was buying it because it was in such bad shape and I was already seeing what it was going to look like. To this day she still can't believe I could see it and she can't believe I did it myself! It's a mess now because it's full of things to sell but hopefully I will outlive the mess. Have learned to do most things the way I want to, not the way others think they should be done. We are created uniquely so creativity is for fun! I'n having fun with you! And laughing!!

[@CrazyLampLady]

We need all types!

[@Faith-qp8us]

@@CrazyLampLady I agree..there is good to both.. but you used words like Aggressive..hostile for type A instead of energetic, enthusiastic, organized, prepared. While you used all positive adjectives for Type B. What if we used adjectives lazy , inefficient, unprepared , slow or disorganized for type B😂🤣😅 The best part.I think both A and B can be creative and enjoy the process. Which is what we are all here for. I think..anyway.

[@CrazyLampLady]

I just copied an image I found on the internet comparing the two. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@kellymc67]

I can tell you are having a great time and you deserve it. You work so hard. When I bought my house 24 years ago, I did my own renovations and it felt so good to be in charge of them. I even tiled and built a walk in closet. So, this is good for your soul!

[@debramorgenroth7420]

You do you girl!!!! If people don't have something positive to say don't say anything at all!!! It's your project not theirs.

[@GenXLisa]

I love that you’re doing all this yourself! The learning is the best part. You’re a real person and make the same mistakes I would and I love that! Personally can’t wait to come stay there because I’m so jealous of how many goodwills/antique stores you have nearby! I live in a fairly large city and only have one small one. ❤ side note: I’m so over these judgmental people.

[@melissaphelps6622]

Youre having fun, and i love it. I know ive learned alot from watching videos.

[@TheDonnatoby]

I love watching you go through this process! I have been there with you learning to paint, stain, sand, etc. it is fun learning new things and I I am proud of you for doing so and especially for sharing it with us. I am laughing with you going to HD because I have made so many trips doing the exact same things such as forgetting something, not knowing I needed something, etc. good laughs and good times! Enjoy it all to the fullest!

[@robynboling9833]

I think these videos are a great deal of fun. I also believe that you are a brave and confident woman to want to share your process with the world. You are showing your vulnerable side, but demonstrating strength and smarts in figuring out how to do it. Not many people would film their learning projects! Kudos to you, Jocelyn! I do have a question. Some time ago you cleaned out the house your ex lived in, then you rented to Jesse and Jess. At the time, you had talked about turning it into an Air B&B. Did you decide to sell it, rent it out or…? Just being nosy 🤪

[@rikkemeek1506]

The Ham house is a long term rental. It is rented out at the moment.

[@elizabethkeeling-carreau1873]

I’m a new follower that decided to follow you because you are very knowledgeable about the products that you thrift and you do everything in a relaxed stress free manner. I love your choice of mix matched restaurant wear for your B and B. It’s such a charming choice. Great channel. 🤗🇨🇦🤗

[@msmoe8687]

I'm just enjoying watching you on this new adventure and I love that you are doing it your way. I feel bad for type A's, they have a lot of heart attacks and life is too short to not eat the cake.❤❤

So proud of you. You are bold and fearless. I'm loving this new journey. I'm learning to.

I’m nobody but love watching you! I think you doing a great job on the Airbnb! I’ve learned so much from you. Thank you for being you!

[@ellencassidy7795]

That white foam stuff under the outlet plate is insulation. For stopping drafts on outside walls.

[@ceciliadelgado6899]

Some people just don't get it! There is a greater reward to doing your own thing! You learn how to do things and at the end of the project, you''ll appreciate what you've done that much more!! I'm with you all the way! Looking forward to seeing the finished product. Thx for sharing and taking us along.

[@juliettesterner2754]

For sticky drawer, wax surfaces that should slide. You can run a candle on them.

Or bar soap

[@claudiajellett3453]

I'm definitely NOT stressed about your choice of AirBnB couch 🤣Have fun decorating this place!

[@janspeed2071]

I love the idea of using miss-match restaurant ware.....very fun!!!

[@pmpiper743]

Just some refinishing tips. After you sanded the wood and then wiped it off with a wet cloth you will have raised the grain in the wood. Which is totally ok, but now go back over it with the fine grit sand paper again and then wipe it with a dry cloth or a tac cloth. You will have a nicer smoother finish in the end. Your stain/paint job will be extra smooth.Good job you are doing and I am excited for you! DIY is so much work but so much fun and so satisfying in the end ❤

[@tinadequasie7978]

I love these video’s…you are doing a great job…

[@CrazyLampLady]

Thank-you!

[@dawnstoughton698]

I think it's great content!! I enjoy learning and watching renovations. So you do you!!! And enjoy it! I look forward to watching

[@elizabethroblero6370]

The restaurant ware is a great idea. I love what you’ve gotten so far the mixed match idea is perfect. Like it was said if something gets broken you don’t have to stress out trying to find the same piece. You just get something else and it fits. It is vintage and thrifted!! Good job!

[@lisalou408]

Just love the use of resturant ware in your new Airbnb! Besides the practical use, it fits your personality as a reseller.

[@lisageilhausen1866]

I completely agree with you regarding soft goods and unknown cleanliness. I’m a nurse of 34 years and couldn’t imagine offering a sofa, pillows or linens to a guest in my rental that was thrifted. There’s bedbugs, fungi, mites, sweat, blood and other bodily fluids to consider when running a rental or in your own home. Think! At least at a hotel you would expect a clean bathroom and bed with cleanly laundered sheets and towels. This should apply to an Airbnb.

[@luannk.1167]

The house next door to us is a VRBO for nurses, specifically travelling nurses. The owner of the VRBO is only 30 and doing very well. There are 5 hospitals near us, and the house is always rented because of the easy access to Harrisburg, Camp Hill, Hershey and Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania.

[@lizthompson4159]

If that was an exterior wall by that wall plug it was to keep from outdoor air coming into to room. When you live where it's really cold you don't want that draft .

[@huntalot3054]

I’m loving it. My son bought his first home last year and we thrifted/estate sales a lot of his appliances, decor. We painted and made it a home.

[@kathysmith2541]

I’m impressed with your enthusiasm in this new venture! What a great time for you! Take it at your own pace, I’m sure you’ll find just what you want. I’m happy you’re trying something new. Your taste is really unique, and I know that this B&B will be “THE” place to stay while you’re in Carlisle, Pa! Best wishes for a successful venture!

[@Kim-k5k]

I know I am Type A also OCDC, your shopping at Lowe's drives me nuts no list, different color walls in each room the list could go on but, it's not my business so you do you. You are so right the end goal is the same no matter how you get there and you do a fantastic job of getting it done!

[@kaffykines1654]

You go Jocelyn, you are doing a great job! I also like doing the same things like fixing things or painting in my house. It's challenging. And I love it. Keep doing what you're doing!

I vote for a pink color that matches the flowers in the rug for the hall table. I don’t care for how it turned out after distressing it and think it would look better with a new color of paint. You may need to use some Kils to block out the black and make the pink pop.

You will Enjoy the Airb&b set up . I’ve got one 2 yrs now and I added a little collectible touch to mine .. Reached Super Host 2 yr in .. Keep it Simple ,clean , Safe .. advise use little room for a pull out couch coffee table small TV (the getaway room ) Don’t use basement first yr out .. 3bed rent for 4 if they want 5 you can do .. Think Neighborhood wants it Quiet as possible Tip get a craft table for the Sun room Good Luck

The only part of the last video that stressed me out a bit was painting over in covered floors! 😂 I figured there was probably already paint splatters if you were doing that… do you plan to sand or refinish them? Or just put a rug over them? They look so pretty in the video! Also, I choose pink! A nice Rosie one to match the flowers in the rug.

You’re doing an amazing job!!! Doing it yourself encourages you to learn new things, and be proud of yourself for accomplishing a new skill. ❤❤

You asked everyone for their opinion and then you seem angry that people were giving the opinions you asked for. These are the people you are trying to recruit to stay at your Air bnb, but if they arent sucking up to you, your attitude comes shining thru. I mean you wouldnt want everyone to think that you are just using your viewers to buy your overpriced items or stay in your Air bnb in the middle of no mans land would you? Sounds like your personality type is using people, greed and narcissism! These are older people you are speaking to. People who look at you as someone they care about because maybe they are lonely, or maybe they grew attached to you from watching you over the years. The way you called them out is a disgrace and hopefully it opens their eyes to the fact that you are using them to feed your bank account. You could care less about any of them. Its interesting to see the real side of people when things dont go their way. Ive been subscribed for years, But after listening to you complain the whole video about, its your money, youll do what you want, calling people aggressive and basically taking a fit like a child, im unsubscribing. WORD OF ADVICE: DONT ASK FOR OPINIONS WHEN YOU CANT HANDLE SOMEONE DISAGREEING WITH YOU!

[@mamaG4]

Aggressive Type A no doubt. Not only are you now angry with Jocelyn but with her other commenters too? Now you are so annoyed with her graphic that your response is to demean and yell at everyone who didn’t agree with you. Think about it. You are the one with a problem. You took it personally. It’s okay….the sun will come up tomorrow and you can move forward or continue to be angry and aggressive. Your choice.

I fee like this is a bit of an over-reaction. There was no calling anyone out. It was just a fun observation that some in the comments were Type As and some were Type Bs. I live with a Type A. Andrew is a Type A and I love to tease him all the time. Likewise, he teases me about being Type B-being disorganized, chaotic, messy, and constantly without any real direction. I’m realizing that some people are offended by being categorized into a type-which I didn’t see anything wrong with.

Does somebody need a hug? 🤗

Benjamin Moore's Hale Navy looks great on furniture. Love the Airbnb videos! Can't wait for the next.

[@donnashaw7315]

First, your energy amazes me. I don't know how you do it, but I enjoy watching all you do. Second, thank you for taking us on this wonderful journey. I love to decorate, and watching you is inspiring. I noticed the excitement you once had for shopping and selling was fading. This project has brought it back, and it's great to see. Be you Jocelyn. And be happy.

[@mauroincani3042]

I just love watching you thrift in and checking out all the goodies on the shelves.

[@jenniferadrianson6396]

I love the air bnb videos, very relaxing and enjoyable. People need to chill for sure. Way too many people rushing and flying through life and missing the fun journey. So sad. It's not the final destination it's the journey ❤ ❤❤❤

[@klptome66]

Jocelyn your doing a fantastic job! It's a learning experience. Oopses coming with learning, shame on them with are judging, they at one point were in the same place you are. GIRL YOU GOT THIS!

[@kristaunser6331]

Good for you. I started all over at 50 alone and had to learn how to maintain a house. It is a very empowering feeling when you learn and do something on your own. Who cares if it is not perfect. It just adds character:)

[@sineaddavidson4473]

The new house is looking great I'm enjoying these videos. Keep up the good work

[@melissabetts731]

No stress here! As always I learn watching your blog. Im so excited for this new opportunity. Cant wait to see the Air B&B when its completed. You inspire me!❤
