Hi guys, I hope you are doing well. I noticed that it has been three months since your last post, and I wanted to check in and see how everything is going. If you have a moment, it would be great if you could provide an update on what's been happening. We would greatly appreciate it. Sending my best wishes to you!
I know I'm like I just hope their good because this house is so close to being done in this video!
I used LVP for my custom home cuz we got 3 kids but that hardwood looks so pretty
If you guys have left over materials I'd be more than happy to take them off your hands. I live in Michigan as well near Lansing.
Fiancée and I have been following the build. Need more episodes! Can’t wait to see it finished
You guys are too cute. It's sweet to see you bouncing ideas off of each other and respecting one and others opinions. Thank you for walking us through the selection process. I appreciate the honesty that you gave with thinking you were set on a certain look but found that it wasn't working in your home. I can't wait to see the finished project. ❤
We appreciate your kind words! The selection process was by far one of the most difficult in this entire home building series. For the most part we had similar taste which made it much easier. I can't imagine if we both were on two different pages!
I have enjoyed watching this home series. I’m patiently waiting for the next one!
So happy you are enjoying the series!! We're currently working on the tile now!
I love this whole series. I love the design of the home and how you all work together as a team!
Thank you! So happy you are enjoying it, we doing our best to get this house done! 😊
I miss you guys uploading videos 😢 your videos are very informative 😊
I know you guys are getting married this month, so I cant wait for all the wedding and finished house videos ❤
Miss ya'll a ton! Can't wait for the next video.
Miss you both! Hope you are well. Anxiously waiting for the next video!
I have snowbound in my bedroom and am completely in love with it. It's been several years now and I will be doing a refresher coat.
So good to hear!! I’ve read great things on blogs so sounds like a great choice!
You guys are killing it. Keep up the great work.
Very Informative video.
Thank you!! Appreciate your kind words :)
Great info and tips!! It’s getting exciting!
It is, hoping to get in there sooner than later!
I want to build a home and this helps give a lot of context to the processes
We miss you guys!! Please don't stop making videos!!
We miss you!! We may have underestimated the amount of planning that goes into the house and planning a wedding at the same time 😆 the videos will continue after our honeymoon 🥰
Can’t wait for your next update video on your new home!
Us tooo! working on next one. Tiling has been taking us a lot longer than expected :)
Loving your series! Been waiting for the new episode to drop haha !
I would go with light wood floors - you can always paint your lighter shade cabinetry but changing floors is more expensive in the long term. Also the lighter hardwood floors would go well with the light tongue and grove on your ceiling.
But I know you guys will choose the best option! Looking forward to the next video already ❤
Thank you! Appreciate your kind words! We are hustling to get the videos we are pretty much all caught up so we’re pushing tight deadlines 😅 which is pretty typical for this house building process, we’ve learned haha.
Ahh the battle between light and dark so tough. I just worry light May be too match my match, who knows! But great for keeping a cleaner floor. Maybe we will find something in the middle!
these videos are so satisfying, I love watching them. Been watching even more now that my partner an I may be getting 8 acres of land. with two houses on it one still needing quite a bit done to it. Ahhhhhhhhh
Thank you, so happy you are enjoying them!! Woohoo 8 acres is massive and 2 houses!? Sounds like a fun project :) Would love to hear more about it!
Omg where is the new episode?! I'm so excited to see the progress!
Hi OriginalPanda, we took on a project that took a little longer than we anticipated. We're filming a few episodes to get all caught up!
I think that darker flooring would give some nice contrast, considering how many light tones there will be. It might also add a bit of visual cohesion to the tiles you want to use in the mudroom and bathroom. I would definitely play around with the flooring, really testing things out with a couple of boards to get a feel for the overall effect.
Your comment is music to my ears! Totally agree with all of this. I also love the old world vibe the darker wood could bring into the house. I think it would tie in nicely with the whiter/gray rustic stone we're using on the range hood and fireplace. Just still have to convince Faris :)
Thank you for using real wood flooring and not LVT. Light wood floors gives richer look vs dark gives a rustic look. Lighter is easier to keep clean and hides any imperfections better. For paint, I like the primer coat the best. Lol Countertops, I’m a fan of granite. Flooring I like porcelain. Your stained ceiling, I was leaning towards the two coats but the wood might get washed out. So I guess either way. Your cabinets look great, only recommendation is to use draws when you can for lower cabinets. Also I think I would have stayed with better cabinets in the bathrooms. Because there is so much moisture in those rooms and it was only 2k savings. I’m a fan of walk in pantries because they save you on cabinets cost. I feel for your dads back brace, back pain is awful. I really like the over all look and flow. You guys are doing great. Congrats 👍🍺
Definitely prefer hardwood! But I know the dirt on a hardwood floor makes me a little nervous. Maybe we will find a medium tone so we get the best of both worlds! I like granite too, maybe for the bathrooms we saw a cool honed blue under stone granite that we both really liked! We did consider using Bridgewood in the bathrooms, but we weren’t planning on hiring out the paint process so now we gotta save a few thousand here and there because painting is pricey. So far we’re feeling good about the selections for now 😁 thank you for the encouragement!
I love all of your videos
Thank you so much! :)
Waiting for the next episode
Ur videos are amazing
Hey guys! Been following you since last 2 months and I love the progress you've made! Also love your videos! So... I'd recommend a darker color for the floors so that it could give some contrast with the cabinets and the ceiling colors and also with the walls' white. Besides, once you have that done you could add some more contrast with furniture if you feel like. The only warning is that if it's so dark it may get dusty easily. Hope yo do great!! Regards from Argentina 😊
Hi Joelaugustinbonader, thanks for all the advice. We feel the same exact way! Love the look of the contrast but a little nervous about the dusty floors especially since Lisa loves golden retrievers. We might just have to invest in a robot vacuum :)
Great video! I love your choices, flooring should be just slightly darker than your cabinets and ceiling but not really dark because they always look dusty.
Another great video!! Off topic question - the audio sounds great, what microphones are you two using?
Thank you!! We were using two Rhode Lapels Mics
I’m sorry it’s been a while. When are you going to show finish house?
What is the Knicks video finish your house?
Very enjoyable video again!! Another 2 different Australian terms: "Counter Top" = "Bench Top". And "Lumbar Yard" = "Timber Yard".
Hahah love that! I have not heard of a bench top before. Can't wait to hear some more!
@@FarisandLisa As your videos go on i'll see if i can find some more different terms!!
Any update on when the next video will come out?
Hi Dubbl317, we took on a project that took a lot longer than we had anticipated. We are currently filming a few episodes to get all caught up!
DEFINITELY light. I chose dark floors for my home because I thought it would be a nice contrast, but they are a nightmare to keep looking clean and introducing an additional wood tone made my rooms look busy and uncoordinated. Get as close to the tongue and groove color as possible!!
Ahh yes my biggest fear is the messiness. We might just have to invest into a robot vacuum. Or maybe just go a medium color.
Well, we're waiting for the update!!! You can't do all this and then leave us hanging! :)
Oh we’re coming 😁😆
Medium brown tone on the floor. Like Kingwood from Flooret.
I like it! Thank you for sharing :)
When is the next video coming out??
13:49 that’s close to the Vicenza we’re going with
Awesome! We love the old world look with the smaller veining!
❤❤
I prefer Dark over light
I think we are on the same page :)
When is your next video?!
Hi Alibaig413, we currently took on a project that took a little longer than expected. We are working on a few episodes to get all caught up. New video should be soon :)
I hope you went right lighter flooring because dark flooring shows everything/ every little crumb
She reminds me of a young Dolly Parton.
Light flooring is the latest look
Ahh I know, maybe we will go with something medium. More in the middle:)
Meet in the middle and go with a white oak engineered hardwood. More of a medium shade.
We like this idea! Medium I think is the most timeless option too!
I think darker floors would look better to contrast all the light. Just make sure they don't show all the dirtiness. We had beautiful dark floors in our previous house, but they showed every footprint.
Oh no we didn't even think of the foot prints! Maybe we go with a medium tone
Are you guys doing anymore vid’s with your house? Or is it done?
Definitely not done! We just got married and on our honeymoon now! The videos will continue next month 😊
@@FarisandLisaCongrats! 🎉🍺
i think in the basement you need to build a safe room for disaters :)
It's a good idea! Safe Room/Movie Theatre :)?!
Do you have an update on the video in a big fan!
Soon! We have been working on a bunch of things. Taking us longer than expected :) I guess that should be expected now haha
Sorry, what is the next video finish your house?
To many white and light colors in a house will make you feel snow blind. Mixing dark and light colors will make a space pop more.
I haven't seen a new video in awhile.
Busy last few months for us, but videos will be starting again soon!
1 month gone no video yet come on guys.... really waiting
Hi homebuildke, we took on a project that took a little longer than we thought. We're currently filming a few videos to get all caught up!
This video is the last one
No sir! 😁
@@FarisandLisa what is the next video?
2 months no new update is crazy 😭
I know been a while when going to soul families house
Dark hardwood all day
I vote medium dark!
Do not use woods capes on an interior ceiling. It is an exterior water based stain. And not a very good one at that
Nothing since April. :( Hope everything is ok.
All is well! Busy last few months for us, but videos will be starting again soon. call it season 1.5
What is the Knicks video next to this video?
Hi Edgar, we took on a project that took a little longer than anticipated. We are currently filming a few episodes to get all caught up. New video will be coming soon :)
When the hell y’all gone upload another video? Lol
definitely dark wood
That’s what I’m sayin!
