    It is your house and you are free to do what you want. The pillars are part of the Craftsman detailing in the house. Taking them out will diminish the value of your home. And there is no additional function--either in terms of space or light that will be gained by taking them out.

    Absolutely love the clean uncluttered house. I recently did a huge purging of 30 years of collecting crap and it feels like a giant weight has been lifted off of me and it is so much easier to clean my house with no clutter. Have been following you for a few years but rarely comment. So nice to see another frugal woman. You rock!!

      @@barbarabruce7648 Well I started with a Yard sale. Then donated usable stuff to the goodwill and finally rented dumpster and had it for a week and got rid of broken things, chairs, lamps, old clothes with stains and etc on them. For the past two years I have felt so free and my house is so easy to clean now. It was so bad it got to the point that I didn't own my stuff, it owned me and I was living in Chaos (can't have anyone over syndrome) . Now if someone shows up unexpected I am able to open the door wide and not be ashamed. I am 56. I only keep a few glasses, a few plates, a few cups etc. If you only have a few you wash way more frequently than if you have a cabinet full. I am happier than I have ever been when I had tons of stuff

      @@barbarabruce7648 I did a purge once, really a fast. I took one grocery bag a day, no more, no less, for 40 days, and got the stuff out of my house, and don’t go shopping when you drop it off at the thrift store. I’ve had other people declutter my stuff before, but this worked, because I was making all the decisions. I now know how to identify what needs to be gotten rid of, and I’m more selective about what I bring into my home. If I bring something in, I need to get rid of something else (one in one out). God bless!

The only thing stopping us is our house is paid off and the price of a 2 bedroom makes us choke. We are no longer up to remodeling.

I was 8 or 9 and my parents bought a 1935 two story farmhouse with a basement. Everything was so Americana and just old. But in great shape. But over the years my parents started getting rid of the old and replacing with newer modern style. It was beautiful but never the same.

    Please leave the pillers in the entry way and at the dining room/living room. It is the original character of the house. Those are craftsman elements, the window in front is a triple window, another craftsman element. I was in real estate for many years. Buyers love the character your house has. I think things in bad condition or ugly should go when renovating but character elements in good condition never should! Also love the built in cabinet in the dining room, another thing buyers love😊 i know you aren’t getting rid of that, just original character of the house. Also love the ceiling in the livingroom, i know you have your reasons for that. Love your channel 😊

    Terrific house, wonderful size and set up for one or two people or even a small family. Spoken by someone who had a family of four in a thousand square foot condo in California where we lived from 1988-2012. It was tight but workable. Today people have trouble understanding that maybe considering a smaller home would actually make things financially feasible for them, instead of despairing that they’ll never afford a 2,000-plus sq ft house in the suburbs. By the way, I love those pillars in your house, they contribute to that craftsman-style look which has so much more personality than many newer homes today.

    I love your channel. Of course you should do what you want, but I would keep the classic pillars that add charm, character, and resale value.....and you can't/won't find them in a boring, basic new build.

    I love how Nala is just showing up in almost every frame, "I'm gonna get myself in there, perhaps I'll be discovered in Hollywood 👀"!
    Why do people give you a hard time with the mirror?! It looks so cool!

      Seconding this wise comment. For the same reason you like the front door lock-any replacement will be less than. Luxury vinyl and Home Depot doors and hardware are inferior to old growth wood and brass hardware. It's all better than anything you can purchase in the 21st C.
