    What a beautiful video! I live in a 75 year old house and love it when you show a project inside your home, because it really gets me motivated to try something new. Your house “feels” so warm and inviting as it is filled with the love, joy, and devotion you, Aaron, and Benjamin share with us. Sharing your lives with thousands of your viewers, encourages hope for the future and demonstrates possibilities where love and commitment, along with hard work are the goals we need to pledge our lives to.

    Have never seen a fireplace like that with three sides. I love it and the mantle looks gorgeous!

    • @Bamboo4U2
      @Bamboo4U2 3 роки тому +2

      The three-sides thing is probably at the root of the whistling sounds. It's probably some type of vacuum or vortex, caused by the air intake and where the heat is expelled. Just a guess. (I mean, I've never heard of anyone else's chimney whistling. Have you? What about wood stoves? Do they whistle?)
      It's very strange.

    • @mariafolch8067
      @mariafolch8067 3 роки тому +2

      @JakeJones, you are close to the cause. Laura has mentioned on several videos on how windy is her area. Whistling might occur as air is drawn quickly into the stove through the narrow aperture of the air inlets. It will stop if the air control is opened or closed slightly from its opened position, and should not be a persistent issue if the flue is performing efficiently. I highly recommend they hire a chimney professional to asses the problem. I installed a chimney cowl on mine and that solved the problem. There are many things they can do rather than having to come down, disrupt their sleep, and play around with those screws. Following article maybe of some benefit. aquietrefuge.com/stop-chimney-wind-noise/

      Gooseneck lighting is a great idea!!!! Maybe using an industrial style shade would give it a better size proportion.
      for the big barn. They could use those vintage style warm white LED bulbs that drops down below the shade as they cast light out farther and the light softens the farther out it goes. A large metal monogram signs that says Garden Answer between the lights and the window above might look good also.

    The symmetry of the barn doors are wonderful.Consider 3 black gooseneck barn lights to add updated flair and further enhance the entry, blending with your other black accents.Beautiful mantle refresh within a cozy, comfortable room of character, charm and the warmth of the fire. Along with sugar cookies and a warm beverage on a winter night, delightful for you two when Benjamin is tucked in bed.

    The studio is fantastic already and the garage doors look great. If you decide to stay in this home, once baby girl is older, you may want to remove the fireplace and replace it with something simple, classic, timeless and functional. Lots of detailed planning needed to make sure it has everything you want and need including lighting and electrical for decor.

    Laura- Until you’re ready to tear that fireplace apart for a whole redo, it would still look great to build some simple wooden bookcase boxes on either side on top of the stone up to the ceiling. Then you could wrap the middle cutout section in wood. It’d be an inexpensive makeover to get you through! ❤️

    Laura; Love your manel, it is so appropriate for Benjamin's age. You inspire me everyday. I did my fireplace differently this year. Gathered up anything wrought iron in my basement and other places. Decorative, ornate Christmas door hanger, 2 ft. wroght iron candlestick holder, etc. etc. place all on mantel and worked from there. Lots of lights, branches of deep dark red artificial red flowered branches, etc. etc. All placed on a black and red checked runner that lays under all of it. A more modern approach but love it. Wish I could send you a picture. Unusual but most festive with small birds stuck here and there.
    You do an excellent job with everything you do with your home, gardens,etc.
    Please keep making those beautiful videos throughout this holiday season.
