I have refinished a lot of furniture over the years. Usually worth it BUT remember, not all wood is good. Sometimes paint is better😉 keep up the good work. Your house is so cool!
I’m not a fan of the “modern farmhouse style” that’s my unpopular opinion. I also don’t care for most painted furniture. I guess if it’s done right I do sometimes like it, but yea I prefer stained furniture.
Your comment made me laugh! I was in the Dollar General the other day and I'm like "why are these signs all telling me what to do" LOL .... relax, wash your hands, LOL
Kristen, I'm so sorry for the loss in the family, never easy, I will keep your family in prayer. You've done quite a bit of renovation so far, impressive. Lots of work to come, but in the end you will be so happy with the outcome. This house is so charming, it will be quite the "show piece" when your done renovating! It will be a great day when you finally move into the house and can put on your personal decor "stamp" to make this house your Home! 😊 God Bless!
Sorry about the passing of your husband's grandmother. Enjoyed the tour of your house, including the treehouse! Looking forward to seeing the finished product and your special touches. God bless you all in your new home. I'm not a big fan of chippy paint finishes. I prefer both painted and wood finishes, especially lighter woods, and letting them age naturally. But to each their own! If a person is happy with what they have, then that's just fine with me!
Your home is coming along well...love what has been done...and the stain glass windows are BEAUTIFUL!!! What fun the girls are going to have with the tree house...😊the memories they will have and the view WOW!!! You are going to LOVE your porch, I’m on mine all the time...it’s so nice hearing the birds chirping and watching other little critters too...looking forward to seeing the rest of your renovation and up dates...THANK YOU AGAIN for sharing with us your new journey ❤️🏠😊
That bleed through is from the tannins in the wood. I use a combination of natural stained wood and painted. Like my table top is stained and the base is painted. It is just personal preference.
Love what you’re doing…that green! 🤩 Neutral upon neutral with no character drives me nuts! 🫢 God gave us such a beautiful colorful world, why not use that inspiration (like you did with the green!)! Pops of color, done tastefully, make me happy! 😊
Love that The Parent Trap is your inspiration, I couldn’t agree more 💚 Also Dan in Real Life has some awesome cozy cabin decor moments! The green and cedar room is spectacular, such a great choice. Loving all the updates!!
I am with you on painted furniture! Though some furniture needs painting- we have a perfectly functional bedroom dresser in the 1980’s shiny, wood like veneer- so it’s getting painted the same color as my nightstand (a linen color). I am more into the curated look- the quality items that we have bought and/or items passed down from family (my great grandparent’s mahogany tall chest of drawers and dresser from the 1920’s), my mothers maple end tables that have darkened with age, my mother-in-law’s oak buffet and table that had also darkened with age, a set of mid-century side chairs that I restained with gel stain because of deep gauges from chewing by a previous owners puppy and also reupholstered the cushions on it, an ugly China cabinet in the dark Spanish style from the 1970’s my husband picked up off the curb that I did paint a dark blue because that dark veneer was not doing it for me. But basically, most of our wood furniture is just it’s natural tone or stain that I keep oiled and buffed. And my walls and trim are all a cream color to allow those wood tones of furniture to shine but also to balance all the wood. I am not a farmhouse all white kind of gal nor a modernist, maximalist or minimalist- my house is just us, not mainstream styles or fads- and this allows me to change up our curtains, throw pillows, bedding and towels as I wish without going to the expense of a total room or house remodel because those “now” items like floors and tile have dated or your tastes changed- just simple wood floors and white and cream subway tile for a classic and long haul background to the changing soft decor.
It's going to be SO nice. The spinning was a little distracting... if you could slow it down just a bit, it would give us a chance to really see it. Appreciated the slower pics at the end! I absolutely adore that green room!
I love the renovations you’re doing and it’s very wise to subcontract much of the work. Having a young family and trying to do everything yourselves would be very stressful, messy, and a lengthy project. I’m not in love with painted furniture but love the rich wood tones and grains of REAL wood furniture. I would have loved a large treehouse growing up.
Just discovered your channel...so beautiful. I home schooled all 4 of our children, now well into their adulthood. We hv 14 soon to be 17 grandchildren...how time has flown. We bought a huge Arts & Crafts home in oldest part of Kansas City 34 years ago. It's lovely to see a young mom doing what I did all those years. God bless you
What an amazing house you have! Also for the kids, all that space to play outside and that treehouse is every kids' dream. I can see myself sipping coffee on that porch. 🙏🥰
Very pretty. That dove white is so clean and airy. Very classic looking. Not too sure of your green room yet🤷🏼♀️ need to see it all out together. Right now it closes in on me, especially with the ceiling painted as well. I’m guilty of painting wood. Not all but some. My husband always says “why would you paint perfectly good wood”. 😂 I love watching you make this your dream home. 🥰
I love all the character you guys are adding to this home. The home already has the "right look" from the outside and inside for your decor style. We have added tons of character to our home over the years with loads of wainscoting and trims and window seats and so on. My decor style is a mish-mash of things, I like some farmhouse, lux, glam, traditional and transitional. I guess my home is a mix of old and new with a splash of glam. I think it works. Lol. I am excited to see your upcoming videos showing the progress on the projects and your thrifting of old items along with new items to dress the home up. I am not a fan of the clothing part of the thrift. As for painted wood furniture, I am on the fence. I guess there are certain pieces that can be painted; however, I believe most furniture should be left unpainted. Sorry for your loss .
Honey your just all natural!! Actually, I love natural wood. I also love some painted pieces so I am not much help lol. I think the painted furniture is kinda played out and the natural wood is what I am heading back to again. Kristen maybe it's just me but I have a little trouble hearing you at times. (It's probably just me.) Reno is so messy but the end result will be worth it.
Kristen, it's so beautiful! All the updates you are adding are just so perfect. Love the trim in the house. The original & what you are adding! Sorry for your family loss.
I love your channel! Thanks for talking us with you on this long waited journey. You house is so beautiful and I can see the true joy that it is bring you. Your girls are precious. Sending blessings
I like what you are doing to bring this house back to a more classy look that it deserves. Love all the wainscotting and trim detail you are adding. It’s going to look beautiful. I like having the quick updates you showed. I don’t need to see all the upgrades step by step. Lots going on, lots to do. I am excited for you and your family.
My deepest sympathy to you and your family. Your home is turning out to be the home of your dreams, which is lovely to see. I look forward to seeing you and your family move in. Take care 🥰
Love your paint selections, bead board and wainscoting. Your new house is coming along beautifully. You must be so excited. Sending my sincere condolences to you and the entire Hoffman family.
Thanks for posting today. I needed a happy break from my reorganizing. I love the colors you have chosen and the thought you put in to all the architectural details. It will be lovely.
Wow, y’all have been busy! Your home has such character and charm, it’s lovely! The stained glass in your room is beautiful. The tree house reminded me of the tree house my dad built for us when we were kids. It was on stilts and looked like a little house, complete with a window. I’m so sorry to hear about your grandma’s passing. May the love of God bring you peace during this difficult time. Is the fireplace an electric one? The house I’m hoping to build doesn’t have a fireplace so I’m interested in hearing more about it! I agree on the lashes, they remind me of brooms!
#teamrealwood. Congratulations! The house looks amazing. I love the green room, I think the trim would look stunning with the dove paint as opposed to green on green 🤔
Hi, Kristen. Love, love your house. We have many wood antiques that have been our family. We also have stained glass! Can't wait to see the house completed. Greetings from Oklahoma. Jane Greene
Oh, my goodness. You certainly have a lot on your plate! So sorry about your recent loss. Condolences.🙏 The progress is amazing. I like the fan in the green room. It looks vintage
That army green room would look really put together if you offset the trim with a lighter color like an off white or buttercream. Your farmhouse is beautiful and can’t wait to see the finished results. 😊
Deepest condolences, on the passing of your husbands grandma 🙏🏻 your house is coming along nicely. Your girls look like they are having fun. Best wishes, from oak lawn Illinois
Love the changes you are making to the new house ❤️ I think that bannister would look great with a simple “hat” on it a larger square of wood with a smaller chunky top. If it’s a 4x4 post then it would be a 5x5 flat piece with a 4x4 chunk on top will go really well with the ridged detail you are looking to add from the other woodwork.
Hi Kristen. Your girls are so precious. I think they would make great co-hosts! Your home is absolutely lovely. All that land for the girls to run around and play. It looks like the perfect setting to raise a family. I am over the moon happy for all of you. Can't wait till next time to see the progress. Congrats again!! Have a wonderful week!! 🤗
Love the total green room. When the furniture and upholstery, fabrics, drapes and rugs are in it will be a beautiful backdrop I don’t like painted furniture either! Or fake eyelashes of any kind 🤣
I'm the same way. I literally just stripped a wash stand down to bare wood recently and it's beautiful. I used to like painted furniture, but the last several years I'm just leaning into appreciating the flaws of pieces and allowing the imperfections to be character and a nod to the history and life of a piece. My unpopular opinion is that many people who flip furniture for a living ruin it. 😂😂😂
Kristen, love the progress!! So excited to see the finished results! Love that cabin green. Big fan of The Parent trap inspired feel. Soo love unpainted furniture. That table is going to be awesome. Always wanted a long farmhouse type table. Our home is too small to accommodate one. But always a dream of mine. Hate fake eyelashes and extensions. Do not like the look. The Serum sounds interesting to enhance the growth. I have eye drops that I was prescribed a few years back that actually did the same thing. Who knew! Enjoy the progress on your home. Happy Memorial Day!
I totally agree about lash extensions! Not a fan. My other unpopular opinion is, I don’t like painted kitchen cabinets! And totally over white cabinets in particular! 🤷🏻♀️
I’m fine with painted furniture only if the natural wood is damaged and paint will extend the use of that piece. I’m personally over the farmhouse look. I know it’s very popular because of Joanna Gaines, but I feel it’s been played out.

Same.
Same here, would not dare paint my cherry wood furniture 👍
Your comment made me laugh! I was in the Dollar General the other day and I'm like "why are these signs all telling me what to do" LOL .... relax, wash your hands, LOL
Prayer's for your family on the loss of Josh's grandmother. I love your progress on your home. Very nice! Have a happy day!
My unpopular opinion is I don’t like stainless steel appliances. I love white!! I also LOVE OAK!! I think your house is going to be amazing!
That house is so charming. And the treehouse...what memories they will have. 😍 Sorry for your loss 🙏🏻
Kristen, I'm so sorry for the loss in the family, never easy, I will keep your family in prayer. You've done quite a bit of renovation so far, impressive.

Your porch is a decorators dream!! What fun you will have making it your own ! The treehouse is a kids fantasy! Your view is priceless!
"It's a big mess, I know" - she's ADORABLE! Soon, it shall all be as pretty as a picture. #lovebeadboard
the land is SO FLAT there! that's the first thing I noticed. the house is much roomier than I thought 🙂
So much fun…and work of course. I love having a home project in front of me. Be safe!
Your home is coming along well...love what has been done...and the stain glass windows are BEAUTIFUL!!!

If not painted it’s original I love it! If painted I will repaint it to what I like! Original only original once! Love the house updates

YOUR HOME IS TURNING OUT REALLY WONDERFUL....I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOUR FAMILY !!
I like both and have both painted and stained furniture
What a sweet little rosie you have. God bless her and she is full of joy!!

Love your new home, can’t wait to see her all finished and decorated. What wonderful memories the girls will have growing up in this charming home .

Your renovation is looking so great!!! And so sorry for your loss!🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻
So sorry for your loss. Your house is beautiful! May God bless your new home.

It’s looking great! I know you are so excited to see each project unfold & get closer to completion. Great job! 😊❤️💕❤️💕🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Thanks for posting today. I needed a happy break from my reorganizing. I love the colors you have chosen and the thought you put in to all the architectural details. It will be lovely.
I much prefer stained furniture. I love the variation in wood grain.

House looks great. So sorry for your loss. ❤
Your child is so sweet...looking at the positive side of her small closest.
How much work youve have already done!! Thx for the update en condolances with the loss of your grandma!
#teamrealwood. Congratulations! The house looks amazing. I love the green room, I think the trim would look stunning with the dove paint as opposed to green on green 🤔
It’s really coming along!!
Looking forward to see you decorate your new home. I am sure it will be amazing as your last. Beautiful new home. Excited for you all.
Incredible progress!!! So sorry for your loss...take your time...we'll be here if you need a break!💛

I love everything you all are doing to the house!!!
Carole Austin, Good evening how are you doing? How's the pandemic situation over there in your country?
I like the warmth of real wood furniture
What a great house! Love the giant fenced in yard!
It’s looks great can’t wait to follow along
Magnolia House design, Good evening how are you doing? How's the pandemic situation over there in your country?
I LOVE the green room, a bold and beautiful statement!🙌
Love the total green room. When the furniture and upholstery, fabrics, drapes and rugs are in it will be a beautiful backdrop I don’t like painted furniture either! Or fake eyelashes of any kind 🤣
Sherry Hudson, Good evening how are you doing? How's the pandemic situation over there in your country?
So excited for your new house.
I agree about the painted fine wood furniture and fake eyelashes. Natural is best.
Oh, I love this house so much!! What a blessing for you and you are making it so pretty!!! This would be my dream house.
I love the grain of wood I think it's beautiful and that's my country style at my home, but I can understand people wanted painted items
I love everything! It’s going to be so beautiful and I’m going to enjoy you working on all of it.
Sorry for loss 🙏🏻💕 Your new home is enchanting not one thing I don’t love 🤗
Kristen, so, so exciting!!✨👏🏻
I'm with you on the painted furniture thing!
So sorry for your loss
Wow progress so fast! I love your choices it will be so beautiful!
Totally agree on painted furniture!
I'm the same way. I literally just stripped a wash stand down to bare wood recently and it's beautiful. I used to like painted furniture, but the last several years I'm just leaning into appreciating the flaws of pieces and allowing the imperfections to be character and a nod to the history and life of a piece. My unpopular opinion is that many people who flip furniture for a living ruin it. 😂😂😂
I love the green AND the fan/light.
It is going to be amazing. So happy for you and your family.
Going to be a wonderful family home for you. Good job so far.
Wow Its so beautiful . You have done a great job with the choices of color. Congratulations
Maria Rodriguez, Good evening how are you doing? How's the pandemic situation over there in your country?
Love what you are doing to your new home. Love the tree house.
I am so excited to see your home after you move in😃
Beautiful all around ,children you and the house!
wow, that house is beautiful already! cant wait to see the home tour! xoxo
Trisha Ray, Good evening how are you doing? How's the pandemic situation over there in your country?
Looking so cute! I'm so excited for u!!
Kristen, love the progress!! So excited to see the finished results! Love that cabin green. Big fan of The Parent trap inspired feel. Soo love unpainted furniture. That table is going to be awesome. Always wanted a long farmhouse type table. Our home is too small to accommodate one. But always a dream of mine. Hate fake eyelashes and extensions. Do not like the look. The Serum sounds interesting to enhance the growth. I have eye drops that I was prescribed a few years back that actually did the same thing. Who knew! Enjoy the progress on your home. Happy Memorial Day!
If the woods good, i prefer natural wood furniture too, but if its not good, paint is a good option 🤷🏻♀️
Your home is a dream 🥰
I totally agree about lash extensions! Not a fan. My other unpopular opinion is, I don’t like painted kitchen cabinets! And totally over white cabinets in particular! 🤷🏻♀️
I’m fine with painted furniture only if the natural wood is damaged and paint will extend the use of that piece. I’m personally over the farmhouse look. I know it’s very popular because of Joanna Gaines, but I feel it’s been played out.
I also don’t like red like you said! And I’m not opposed to painted furniture. Although I’d probably still do one-I’m tired of wall collages!
I also prefer one large piece rather than wall collages… but they can be SO expensive!
