Paint the vents the same color you've painted the walls to help them blend in a bit more.
thanks!
Handmade is perfect. You have so many works at home, but you can find time for handmade.
Thanks!
I love your old country home! I would not trade if for a multi million dollar home. You and your family are blessed!!
I feel the same way! Thank you!
I'd pull the sofa out from the wall and add a small narrow ledge like table or shelf behind it. Just add some books, and a few things on it. That way you do not interfere with the vent flow and filter is still easy to change. I have the same problem in my dining room. I put a buffet in front of it and wood blocks I painted to match floor, so it is not blocking the air flow, keeping it away from wall. could use a scrape piece of wood, stain it. Love the changes and love your room. Well done. Looks warm and inviting, just want to get a book and a cup of tea and relax. Peace! (table no bigger then four inches wide, like a narrow mantle). Could even get a nice decorative support) Peace!
Great ideas! I need to draw up a picture to get the full vision. Thanks for the ideas!
I love your "granny" rug! Personally, I would not change it. Love your cozy and warm home.
😄 thanks
I’m so happy you got it painted! I absolutely LOVE the granny rug. (I’m 40). Your house has so much character
Thank you so much for this video. I could relate so much to it! We have a lot of the same loves. I live in a 100+ year old farmhouse in rural KS (built in 1910 actually.) Original wood floors, those thin slats, and old windows with wavy glass! I absolutely love them, they give our home such character. My husband and I don't even mind that they allow our house to 'breathe' a little more than modern windows. This summer, a few of them had become quite weather beaten with chipping paint, rotting sills and even a sash that had fallen apart. We entertained replacing them with new windows but couldn't bring ourselves to do it! So my awesome, handyman husband rebuilt the sash, reglazed the windows, scraped the old paint, filled and/or wrapped any rotted sills and gave them a fresh coat of paint. It was a labor of love for a few weeks but SO WORTH IT!! I love preserving the old...old homes, old furniture...it's a passion of mine. A possible idea for the vent on the wall is to put a little shelf above it with a face piece on the front of the shelf to hide it from view but not block the air flow. It would be fun to decorate too! Love your home. This was the first video I've watched of yours! So glad to have found your channel!
I am so glad you didn’t paint the trim. It is so beautiful. Love your home.
Me too! Thank you!
What a wonderful time with your brother……maybe paint vents same color as wall….beautiful decorations thank you for sharing
If you can...pull the couch away from the wall and put a sofa table behind it and decorate it to hide the vent 😊
And I love your place and your decor it's such an inspiration
Others have suggested the same thing. Its a good idea! The room is pretty small, it would have to be a very narrow table to keep a walking path between the couch and piano.
Absolutely GORGEOUS!! You were right. That antique white is perfect!!💞🙏💞
Thanks Jeanne! I love the paint color
I live in an over 100 year old house too past down from my mother and father and we never painted the beautiful molding and staircase and old doors it is rich chestnut wood and stands out against the bright white walls. We love it that way and people come in and compliment the way it looks..🌻🌻
BEAUTIFUL! so classic
I think you should center the piano with the window and find a new home for the record player cabinet! It does look a little crowded on that wall.
You are helping me bring an older feel to our newly built farmhouse.
🙌
You did a beautiful job on the living room! Love the lampshade idea!❤️
Thanks!
Good morning., have a blessed one and be a blessing to someone along the way., thanks for sharing great recipes, happy holidays 12-21-2023❤
Will do! Thanks Marilyn! God bless
I just discovered you, I love your video, simplicity, creativity, love, children and more…your voice calms us, thank you, I will be following you. I am a french women from Quebec, Canada.
Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate it so much! And welcome to the channel!
I love your beautiful comfortable farmhouse. I use to live in an old Victorian home in Iowa which had the same type of windows..wavy glass and the weight mechanism. I loved them! I love the colors in your home, so peaceful. Your baby girl is precious. I’m sure you were thrilled to have your brother visit. God bless you and your family.
So cool! Thanks Sara, it was great to have him. Take care! Much love!
You have a great eye for making a room look like walking back in time. So beautiful!
Thank you! I guess I have an old soul
Love the lamp shade! This room looks lovely and cozy!😊
I love how you vacuumed your couch 😂. That’s how I vacuum my van! I just start sweeping like it’s a floor in my home😎
I know right 😂 a girls got to do what a girls got to do. I have one of those Van's too!
What a beautiful home!!! This is the first of your videos I've seen and I enjoyed it immensely! I adore older houses!!! I wish we lived in one but I still love ours. Luckily we both appreciate antiques so as the years go by we can collect some cool little pieces to add that old charm. Thank you for sharing such a lovely little peek into your life!
I'm so glad to hear that! Old houses are beautiful and crusty. Collecting antiques is so fun! and adds old charm.
Hello from the United Kingdom 🇬🇧. Have recently found your channel. I curl up with a nice cup of tea and watch whilst my babies nap. Throughly enjoy your videos. Thank you. You have a new subscriber.
I'm so glad your here! Enjoy the snuggles. I am doing the same with mine!
Love how the light comes through a fabric shade!!! You have a beautiful home... You're right about curating beauty from rearranging or thrifting! See ya on the next video...
The lampshade turned out very cute!
Thank you
Missouri has always been my home . So glad I found your channel !
So glad your here!
Girl, you can take a long piece a fabric, make a tunnel on top and a tunnel on bottom, run some quarter inch elastic down the top and the bottom, pull it as tight as you need it, sew down the short ends to close it off and you have a slipcover to pop on and off the lamps. No gathering required, the elastic does it for you!! I see so many people doing it the way you do it, but if you get tired of it, you have to pull it all off and do it all over again. With making slipcovers for your lamp shades, you can take them off and wash them anytime, make different fabric pattern
That is a genius idea!
@@jenilee.thepioneerhome Lisa bass started doing those hot glue gun shades and I was like 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ working yourself to death girl! Lol and not to mention messing up the shade when you pull it off and possibly having glue all over it.
It's gorgeous!! I love the fabric!
The rooms look amazing. I collect magazines just like yours. Lol
Oh my goodness....your living room is absolutely beautiful ❤ the pumkin cushion is just adorable. Love watching your videos. Sending best wishes from England x
Thanks Dawn! hello over there in England!
You might try to find a vent cover in an old antique brass finish that's more decorative and then it might blend into the art wall? I know I have floor vents that are of antique brass with a scroll design that are more esthetically pleasing than the 80's white ones that cane with the house.
YES would love that! Thanks!
Your home is beautiful!! Glad you had the time with your brother.
Thanks Jamie!
Bonjour Jenilee,
Maybe a 3 panel screen placed behind the sofa; it would hide the vent and you can find them with pastoral scenes or even one with white cotton panels that you could stain with leaves and such. You are such a talented artist, it would look great.
Oh I haven't thought of that. Are you thinking wall panels with trim work and art painted in thr panels?
Looks so beautiful Jenilee. Lampshade is lovely!! The subtle touches of Autumn are gorgeous. In England the weighted victorian windows are called sash windows. The design was popular as the windows opened at the bottom. I have my Apple honey butter candle ready to light now the days are starting to shorten. Thanks for a lovely video xx
Oh wow! thanks for sharing that. Everything always sounds prettier over there, like "sash windows". Love it!
Hi Sally, the candle sounds like it would be a gorgeous scent. I hope you don't mind me asking what make is the candle? I'm in the UK as well. I haven't see it anywhere but just sounds so good.
Thank you in advance x
❤ YOUR BABY IS JUST BEAUTIFUL.....GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!! ❤
Thank you so much!
Your home looks adorable! I love a home that’s country decorated. As for your vent, if the couch is next to the wall, what about a cozy pillow, one of those longer round ones that you can just let sit on the back of the couch, possibly getting 2 if needed for balance. I used to decorate my home all the time for seasons, it I haven’t for awhile. I guess I kind of, like you said, got bored with my home, but I’m starting. I realize I had this pumpkin think that a dear friend made me so I got it out and hung it up. I’m actually looking to see what I still have that I haven’t thrown away to give it some touches. Thank you for the inspiration. Have a blessed day!
Thanks Laurie! Sounds like you did a bit of decorating yourself. Happy 🍂 🥮 Autumn! God bless!
Very sweet and cozy home❤️
Beautiful charming home. Love the stained glass and wood.
Thanks so much! 😊
Jenilee, I seriously love that picture window and stain glass! Our front window is the same style and it was one of the things that made me love our house. And I love your victrola!! We had a working one when I was a kid and i remember dancing around to old 1920s songs with my mom as a kid! Your house is so beautiful and filled with so much warmth!
Awe thanks! So sweet hearing about you dancing around when you were a child. 💖
Very nice! It’s hard to get into the fall mood when it’s 110 here in Texas. You took me there for a little while! Bless you, 😁. That vent on the wall is a real issue. I hope someone will have the perfect solution for you! Have a blessed day.
110 degrees! Oh my goodness! I'm sure your dreaming of cool weather. It's supposed to be warm here next week. Yea those vents.... we will figure something out. Take care!
Enjoyed.
Lovely!
Our SW MO home was moved here from the north field in the 30's and added onto at least 3 times, charming but nothing is square 😂
Old houses are quirky but fun!
Love love love this! Thank you for sharing❤
Thanks for watching!
what a magical enchanting home...im oving your videos !
Thank you!
Як мені приємно побачити Вашу затишну оселю .Спокійне і розмірене сімейне життя..Всі дома...Щасти Вам.Україна
God bless you and your family in Ukraine!
Being a history nut, I would take the lid off of the new record player so you could play records with the Victoria lid shut. You have a beautiful home!
Great idea!
Your lampshade is adorable. I've made lots of shade covers with narrow elastic through a casing at the top and bottom of the fabric, maybe a bit easier than the way you did yours. Is that vent functioning? If it isn't, you could cover it. Also painting it the same color as the wall would make it less noticeable. You do a lovely job of using collected things in your home.
I wish you could teach me your ways with the lamp shade! Great ideas! Thank you
very nice
Love your home.
thanks so much!
Wow. Beautiful. Thank you for sharing your home and creativity!
You are so welcome!
Paint vent same color as wall
Absolutely beautiful ❤
Thank you! Cheers!
I love the story of you and your brother ❤
My 2 girls have 15 years apart! Big sister simply adores her baby sister.
That big sister will always cherish her baby sister 💕
Your baby is beautiful
Thank you!
I love the color you picked out and your neutral couch. It makes your woodwork pop. I had my Husband re-create old fashion woodwork and we painted it cream and we did the walls a historical light gold.
Oh I love that! I'm sure its gorgeous!
Beautiful!! I love your home. Thanks for sharing. Try painting your vents same color as the wall? Do you have room to pull your couch forward and place a table behind it where u could decorate it? I think it sticks out so much because the couch is against it. If not its still beautiful!!
I agree
this is a great idea! It would have to be a very narrow table. But maybe we could build it.
@@jenilee.thepioneerhome that's what I was thinking about building a table maybe 1x6 or 8. U could add a small lamp and some deco at different heights. You could also just make it like a shelf and put your couch all the way next to it. You wouldn't have to do legs and no one would notice I don't think.
I love the lampshade you did really pretty, how are you and your family keeping? The painting colour was beautiful fresh and cosy , sending you all love and prayers 🙏 God bless you all.
Thank you Diana! We are doing well. Sending our love!
NEW SUB; I LOVE YOUR HOME.
Thanks! So glad your here Barbara!
That poor rug has been thru it 😂😂😂
Totally!
@@jenilee.thepioneerhome I raised 5 boys, one girl and on occasion a niece or nephew at times, along with a slew of pets and it’s almost impossible to keep rugs clean. Sending hugs and prayers from this mother of 6 and Nana of 3. 🥰🙏
Jenilee, where did you find this fabric? I love it!
The lamp shade turned out so pretty! Do you use something other than nails to allow you to switch out your artwork so your wall isn't damaged from nails? My first thought about the "vent" wall was a quilt rack...change out the quilts with the season. Quilt racks often have a little shelf that would allow for cute bits to be displayed (like another little mantle). It's really cozy having a quilt hanging. I hesitate to suggest that because I'm not sure if the vents are functional - a quilt may hinder them. Your fall update is so lovely.
Thanks for the ideas Sarah. I currently am using nails....but you have such a good point. It would be much better to use something else for seasonal wall art. Thanks for the kind words!
This is Priscilla and I loved the lamp shade you did.
Thanks Priscilla!
The vents are they return vents or blow out? Do they work? The Return Vents need to be open, or at least a Heating & Air Repairman told me this.🤷♀️
I believe they are return vents. It's weird, our furnace is under the stairs. Yea I worried about that...needing to have them open. It's just an awkward placement.
Our old house (1793) was redone in mid 1800s. It had iron weights.
So cool!
I love the picture of Jesus praying!!!! Where did you get???
Deseret book . Thanks! I love it too
Your house is definitely not a craftsman. It is a beautiful old Victorian farmhouse. You are very very lucky. You do need to pull your couch off the central vent tho.
Just a thought. i think the piano needs to be on that wall in front of the window by itself. too much piled in so nothing can be really seen.
we did consider putting it there. It would be fun to see what it looks like. Its just so HEAVY!
