It just me, or the audio of this video very low? I barley can hear her voice, and i already put my device's volume on the max.
Uthie Eithu same. It improves a teeny bit when she starts showing the basement walkthrough. I was straining.
audio is low... but more distracting was her hair hitting the mic! but love the reveal!
I could hear fine , but had to speed up the video. Too long for me.
You should really make an e-course on interior decorating! I absolutely love how you bring vintage and big box store purchases together...that is a sign of creativity and good taste! I must check out Homegoods--the things you got there are so stylish.
That's a great idea!
I am not a person who is into DIY and home improvement at all, but I have to say with the before and after shots of your beautiful home I am absolutely wowed. I do not have a vision for this stuff, when I see wallpaper or brown paneling in real estate I just walk right out...and clearly, I've missed out because your home is becoming more and more gorgeous!! Amazing.
seltzermint5 it’s hard to see past what’s in front of you but once you’ve done it before it gets easier. We’ve decorated 5 houses so far (we’ve changed houses a few times!) and it has got easier. I agree that your house is gorgeous, Kitty. You have a real knack for decorating.
You both did an amzing job ! I love the styling and the colors you chose. The flooring is beautiful. Defiantly not a dark dungeon anymore!
That’s so beautiful! My house is so similar to yours, built in 1950s and has an unfinished basement with so much potential! I’m interested to hear more about the waterproofing you did before the drywall. We do have some issues with some water minor leakage in the spring. Also, if you’re comfortable sharing I would love to hear more about your budgeting and the estimated cost. We are at the stage with ours where we don’t even know where to begin! It would be a dream if ours turned out even half as beautiful as yours!
I will definitely talk about how we waterproofed the basement in more detail in my follow up video, but we used a system called the SealOnce Basement System: waterproof.com/sealonce-diy-basement-waterproofing-system/ It's actually a company and do-it-yourself system my grandfather invented!
Kitty Cotten That’s amazing! Looking forward to it!
This came out so good! So glad you guys finished before the little one comes! Can't wait to see how the space evolves 💛
Glad you mentioned the transition from the wood to the tile. If you filmed any of the installation of the tile meeting the wood, I’d like to see it....your basement remodel is simply beautiful...thanks for sharing!!
You did a great job remodeling. My favorite is the bathroom. I love barn doors. You have a great eye for style.
I’d like to offer a piece of constructive criticism. Can you please keep your hair out of the way of the microphone? The rustling sound of your hair against the mic is very distracting and took away from a great video.
Yeah I think I need a new mic setup for videos like this! It always bugs me too when the audio is messed up in a video! Sorry about that!
Is it just me or is the sound really quiet?
Where is that pouf ottoman from ? The basement is gorgeous. Job well done. 👏🏽
Edit: Never mind. It’s linked lol thank you.
I'm in love with that pouf!
You guys did a FANTASTIC JOB!!! I love your style 👍🏾
The transformation from vintage to extraordinary is great!
WOW!! Your basement looks so beautiful. All the hard work you guys put into it really payed off
You have the loveliest taste! Here are my questions:
1) How much experience do you and Joel have with this kind of stuff? Did you bring a lot of skills into the project or learn as you went?
2) What kinds of plants are all of those? Do they do well in a basement?
Thanks!
I'll go more into your first question in my follow up video, but we are total first time DIY homeowners. We googled/youtubed a bunch of stuff, but also my dad was a great resource for us since he's a very handy guy. He definitely raised me to know how to use tools and be handy around the house! We choose a mix of faux plants and low light plans for the basement. Hoping the low light ones survive because I love having plans in my home!
Your microphone seems broken. You can fix it in post. The sound is just coming out of one speaker. Witch makes it annoying for people watching/listeting.
But great video otherwise! :D
I think I need to retire that mic, because it gave me problems in a past video too!! I hate when the audio is off in youtube videos! Sorry!
So.... been thinking about how to convince Chip and Joanna to remodel/redecorate my future house when I win the lottery, but you have just totally changed my mind!! I’m hiring you and Joel! Your basement is completely awesome. Literally everything about it is perfect! Great job guys!! 😃💃🏼🕺🏼
Such a compliment!! Thank you!
fabulous.....well done..have you considered painting the brick white?
Yes! I think we need to do something with it because I don't really like the look of it now, but we didn't paint it before, because we didn't know if it would get too white down there. We might try and white-wash the brick and see how that looks. I also like the look of black brick, but we'll see...
I think you should paint the brick black to match the black insert of the fireplace
I was thinking of a dirty gray...? Something dark for contrast but not too dark since you have a very clean yet warm color palette going.
When you do these remodels do you rent one of those large garbage containers to throw everything in? Anytime we do little projects to our house it is kind of a hassle for us bc of the waste from it and putting all of it in our trash. We've taken things to the dump but have thought of renting the kind that sit in your driveway for a weekend to help. Just wondering if you use these
We did a mix of hauling things to our city dump (in Minneapolis you get a couple of free vouchers per home per year for the city dump) and we used one of those Bagsters from Home Depot, which worked out really well. We demo'ed over a few weekends, but if we had been able to demo all at one time a large dumpster would've been waaaay easier!
You guys did such an AMAZING job! It’s stunning and sooo your style. Thanks for Sharon. Can’t wait for the details about the diy experience!
Beautiful job!!! You two should be very proud of yourselves!!!
I love your style!!! I found your channel a few months ago and I’m obsessed with your renovation videos!!!!! Awesome job!
Oh the basement is priceless!! Congratulations to you and Joel! It's gorgeous work! The bathroom floor looked so good. I wish he would have stayed on it a moment longer. Nice job!!
This looks amazing!! 👍🏻LOVE the aesthetics and decorations-doesn’t even feel like a basement!
LOVE your space and I'm inspired. Thanks for sharing 💘
Love how it turned out its stunning! Wow tons of great looking couches and decor! Great job mama ! 🙋🏻🙌🏼👍🏼👊🏼
So clean, bright and airy. Love it. Y'all did an amazing job.
I had to stop video. I turned the sound all the way up and I still could not hear you.
Wow! Gorgeous! I wouldn't even know how to go about doing something like that--you guys are amazing!
Too much talk,Can you get to the demonstration ?
You guys did a fantastic job I love it!!!❤️❤️👍
BEAUTIFUL......BEAUTIFUL......BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!! This the most comfortable basement reno Ive seen. Your whole house should be on tv or in a magazine. GREAT JOB!!!!!! BE PROUD!!!!!!!!!
I have been WAITING for this video!!! Love it. I’ve been getting so much inspiration from your house for our new house 💕
Congrats on your new home!
Your basement looks amazing!!! Do you guys work in construction or architecture or you did you achieve this simply by watching/researching DIY resources? I feel like I wouldn’t know where to begin 😱
I'll talk more about this in my follow up video, but we did a lot of research before hand and talked with friends and family who were familiar with construction. My dad's a very handy guy and helps us out a bit and taught me a lot about tools and was a great resource during the renovation process.
You guys did an amazing job! Enjoy the space. Can't wait to see it evolve with your family. I hope one day I can meet you. My family is from Mpls but I live in Rochester, MN with my husband. Love your videos!!!
Does anyone know where the gorgeous wall hanging is from that hangs above the sofa? Or how to make one? Is it woven? I love it!😍
I love how bright it is, yet so cozy looking. It's got to be so satisfying to see it all come together in the end so beautifully. You and Joel did an amazing job!!
Thank you! It's been a serious labor of love!
Awesome job! The audio was SO low in this video, btw.
So gorgeous! That couch looks so dreamy and comfy! 😍
Love the result!
Curious, though, how you would lock that bathroom door.
Planning on installing a simple hook and the handles shortly.
Omg.... luuuv it.
OMG I am so excited for you two to finally have completed this major accomplishment! It looks so good! Congrats yall!
That pouf is amazing! Where is it from?
Check the blog post with all the sources for the link, but it's from Article!
What a beautiful basement renovation!!! Well done, love the little touches especially the vintage embroidery pattern over the mantle. It will look amazing framed
Really impressive to see how the basement changed. Looks amazing.
Greetings from my channel, Arne from Kreith32
great job, beautiful space! and you look amazing :)
Loved it!
(p.s. your hair keeps rubbing up against the microphone and it is was pretty cringy throughout the entire video)
I think I'm moving in !!!!! xo
Kitty,
Been a few months since I "stopped in" and all I can say is...WOW...You hit it out of the park for a mostly do-it-yourself basement remodel. You've added great functionality and value when/if the time comes to move on. you'll have a great future play area for your coming addition and... The deco is so relaxed/sophisticated casual with goodwarmth and it all flows so nicely.
Great job! Tell your husband.... nice work!
Yes great to have space for the baby, the baby will need a fun place to play😀
Turned out really great Kitty! Love the TV bench - a question is Homegoods the same as Homesense in Canada? Does anyone know?
Came upon this video while looking for basement paint colours. We are debating between BM Chantilly lace and simply white... for an all over paint colour, like you. We also have a 1950’s bungalow. How are you finding the Chantilly lace 3 years later? Is it too crisp? Would you have preferred something a bit warmer, like simply white!
Hey Kitty~
You guys killed it!!! It looks so great!! Congrats on the new space!!
Beautiful space, quality finish! Love the pouffe, the barn door, and the mix of black and brass (?) fixtures. Your second sofa could eventually be replaced with a futon - there are some beautiful ones available now that don't scream 'spare bed'.
I think you've done well to leave some space to 'grow in to'... It will come in handy for play mats, bouncers, activity centres, play pens, and eventually, 'big kid toys' (baby stuff takes up a surprising amount of room)!
It’s amazing! Love your style.
It looks incredible!
Amaizing! Congrats! 👏🏼
It's so great! I love it
Perfect! The minimal details have such a huge impact. Definitely does not feel like a basement!
I was also happy to see your little belly😂😍 I hope your pregnancy is coming along well!
Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful job! What a great space now.
In your renovation process video, please cover the fireplace - is it wood burning or? Does it work? We, interestingly, have a chimney in our garage and clearly the fireplace is/was in our downstairs rec space and was paneled over. I'm also wondering about your drop ceiling removal/replacement process, because we have that, too.
Beautiful and job well done! I really love your style. It takes so much time invested to complete such a daunting task. Where did you get the metal brackets for your wall shelf in your dry bar? I'm looking for options! Thank you!
It looks SO BEAUTIFUL!! You guys did such an amazing job!
Lovely! Would you mind sharing the source for your black door knobs? Love the contrast with the white walls, but didn’t see where they’re from on your blog. Thank you!
Your entire house is incredible. You guys have done an amazing job!
I have one constructive criticism on the video though. I would normally never say anything like this but I love your videos so much and wanted to watch this so badly, but your hair kept brushing against the microphone and it made it really difficult to hear/ focus on the content. Again I would normally never say anything but you never mentioned it so I thought I would let you know in case you did not notice.
Keep on keeping up with the awesome content, you're youtube is one of my all time favourites! Thanks for the inspiration!
Kitty it looks awesome! So inspiring for me and my husband to do a renovation ourselves. Quick question, why did you guys decide to stick with the 70s-80s style windows?
I love every single detail!:) I can't believe you guys did it all by yourselves! Well done - very impressive!:) I absolutley love the design of your barn door - do you mind sharing the tips and tricks on making something similar? Many thanks!
I am so obsessed with this space! Just a thought - if you were to use some of the space for the baby, maybe move that other seating area by the bathroom over to where the bar area is so that if you ever have to hide the toys you have those two closets to put things in so it doesn't look as messy! Also that way if you have people over and are using the bar area they don't have to step around kids toys? Just a thought, but I love how you guys have made the basement so bright but so cozy at the same time!
Great idea!
Thanks for sharing this video. After watching it I painted my basement the same colour and I love it. Thanks for the inspiration. Maybe I will get the same ottoman
in love with the outcome. love the bathroom floors, the tv stand, the pouf, the sliding barn door. everything just blends together. also, get better soon Kitty, you guys did an amazing job. my dream is to own a fixer-upper and just turn it into my dream home. Cant wait to see what the empty space will come into. Congrats on an awesome job!!!
Love it! It’s crazy you two did this yourself? How did you do it? Are either one of you knowledgable in remodelling?
Your basement turned out amazing! I have a similar style home and can’t wait to renovate our basement. I’m obsessed with the flooring transition and the barn door! Question for you: did you consider having to access the plumbing in the ceiling in the future before putting up a finished ceiling? My basement now has a plaster ceiling and part had to be demoed in order to access the upstairs bathroom plumbing when we had a leak. I’m scared to finish the ceiling (or fix the now hole until we figure out what we’re going to do) and thought drop ceiling would be the way to go in the future (even though it’s ugly!) would love to hear if you thought of a way around this!
wait wait wait!! someone has either been eating massive amounts of pizza or you are preggo! congratulations! :)
So impressive, Kitty! Well done! Leaving yourself space to grow into is really smart. Once your baby arrives you'll be glad to have a spot to store toys and play. I bet you'll get a ton of use out of this beautiful living space!
artifact uprising has beautiful plexiglass floating frames that would look awesome over your fireplace with the map!
That's a great idea!
I’m obsessed. Love your selections. Best of all, you did it yourselves!
I love the space so much! I can't imagine how much the project cost, but I am sure doing it yourself saved so much money.
Great job! May I ask where you bought those black shelf brackets for your open shelf? Thank you. :)
Your basement is beautiful, great job you both did! It will be great when the baby comes and toys start accumulating! Enjoy !
A brief tutorial on the barn door would be great! I know I am interested in installing one and I get the impression other might be too! :)
That's a good idea! I didn't make one when we were building it because I've never made one and had no idea how it would turn out, but it was pretty easy. Maybe a blogpost?
Kitty Cotten that would be great! Even if it’s not a complete step by step guide, any tips from someone who has now done it would be great :)
I just discovered your channel a couple hours ago and I'm obsessed!!!!
Do you have to use any special heat resistant materials for around the fire place? Or is that just drywall? We need a old gold trimmed gas fireplace DIYed badly
Looks fabulous. This is also the first video I've watched since your pregnancy announcement and I have to say I was so excited to see how your little bump has grown 🤗
It's definitely grown!
Hi, does the bathroom's wooden sliding door close completely and seamlessly? or does it leave some "air" at the sides? Does it give enough privacy?
your taste in interior design is amazing! beautiful basement!
Thank you!!
Looks amazing!!! You did such a good job! Very impressed
Kitty! I'm so proud of you guys! It looks beyond amazing!!!
That wood sliding door is amazing! I love your eye for design. Y'all did a great job.
Overall, you did a great job . . . but the open door to the bathroom has the toilet as a prominent position in the sight line. Perhaps a reverse door, one that goes out from the bathroom would allow you to hide that feature. You might incorporate frosted glass to facilitate natural light. I appreciate that you are willing to grow with possibilities for future uses of space. Very well done, especially from a D.I.Y. perspective.
Beautiful job! Has anyone ever told you that you resemble the actress Zooey Deschanel?
The remodel looks amazing! Love this video!
Hey there. i am in love with my basement decor. If you don’t mind me asking where did you get the backless chair or what is the correct name to call it. thank you
How do you like your pedestal sink since you’ve installed it? Are you consider switching it out for a vanity or do you still like it?
You put professionals to shame! Amazing job!
Wow BRAVO to you and your husband.great job.
It's so beautiful!! I love all the little details you put in. Where did you get your inspiration?
Love the National Parks featured in the decor! Can you share more about your connection to them?
It turned out so nice! Also, I have that same shower!
I'm a new subscriber and happy to be here. Love your choices of furniture etc
the left space can keep clean for yoga, workout, and kid space
You and Joel did a fantastic job!
OMG is so beautiful! you guys are awesome ❤️💪🏼
looks great! think it would be interesting to add a wood shelf in the bathroom, where the built in is perhaps?
Not sure how you can have privacy with a barn door with no lock....
