- Today we are finally giving the living room some love and she is starting to look so much more put together!! It is about time we did some living room design & decor! I got a couple new pieces of furniture and we put my frame TV up on the wall... it looks so great!
Hey there! My name is Abby and I recently bought a MAJOR fixer upper house. I am SO excited to work on fixing it up this old house and turning it into my dream home. I can't wait to take you on this journey with me! I am planning to DIY as much as I can and learn so much about home renovations along the way. I am starting out totally clueless so I am sure it will be a grand adventure! Follow along on my channel if you want to see DIY projects, renovating a house on a budget, and I am sure a lot of craziness along the way! I'm just a girl with a drill and a dream.

Leave it like it is the dresser is so beautiful. These days, the natural wood is in style.
Painting beautiful oak or any real wood furniture is out of style the old Antique oak original colors are back in ! I love the wash board and would not paint it ever it’s gorgeous just the way it is but hey I love chippy rusty all day long it’s back in style and I am so excited ! But it’s her home ! By the way great price on that Oak piece ! ❤
The dresser is really pretty; I wouldn’t paint it. Do paint those glaring white tables you have.
Agree. Too cold and stark.
If I painted anything in the living room, it would be the white coffee table and end table. Love the wood dresser.
I agree, it's just to much white.
I love the chest of drawers. It adds the warmth that your room needs. I think it makes the decor look more interesting when you add older furniture in with the new. Can't wait to see what you do next. Please don't paint the wood.
I like the dresser as is. With all the white you have going on, it adds warmth to the room.
Maybe put a natural material table runner on top.
The wood stain on the cabinet looks gorgeous in your living room.
Jay, what a sweetheart!
Love the little dresser as it is. It goes so well with your new chairs and sofa. Please don’t paint it. Just stain over the side where it was scuffed. ❤
Pulling the chair by the tv at an angle and touching the rug will pull the space together in a good way. You're getting there😊
She needs a large rectangle rug for that long, narrow room. That circle doesn't get it.
Abbey, try pulling some of the furniture away from the walls, makes it less flat with more interest. It will feel bigger
Love it please don’t paint that beautiful wood 😍
It is still a beautiful piece, even if you don't use it for your T.V. I think you really need a much longer piece of furniture for your T.V. It is such a beautiful piece, i would hate to see you paint. Yes, a much longer piece would be better. Love your chairs.
My thoughts too.
I agree.
an electric fireplace would be so cozy in your home. The house just screams coziness.
Have you thought about a fireplace with TV cabinet and shelves that would look nice and cozy too
Abby, it’s starting to feel so comfy cozy. I love the new furniture pieces. I would change the color of the white tables and add a large decorative lamp to the round table. The tv looks great mounted on the wall with no cords showing, personally I would have mounted a slightly larger tv, but I know not everyone has the budget for upgrading … I believe once Jay builds you the picture frame it will do it justice. I can’t wait to see your next purchase. It would be nice to see a Pinterest vision board of your inspirations/ ideas for the rooms.
The new chest of drawers is so lovely the way it is. Modern and antique go well together. Please don’t paint it. The chairs are great, perfect scale for the loveseat you have. Do you really need a bigger couch?
Thanks for entertaining me for the past three years. You’ve done a great job!
It does look really nice! That little couch is adorable too. You might want to think about changing the color of the coffee table and end table. The white is a little bit bright. A softer color might bring everything together.
You got a good deal on the dresser and it looks beautiful! I hope you won't paint it, maybe get the sofa in there that you really want before you make too many other decisions. Slant the chair by the dresser in towards the living room more, get the sofa you want, get wood end tables for each side of the sofa, choose the the color of dresser, put the white round table somewhere else.
Too much white it's cold and boring! You have white walls, a clear canvas to add some colorful pillows to that muddy little couch, it's cute but just a blob up against the white wall and the white round table is cut but disappears into the white wall...contrast, Dear. Pillows can be moved to a new couch when acquired, a great decor please.😊
The TV looks great in the wall. May I suggest that a rule of thumb with putting a cabinet or console under a TV it should be much winder than the TV.
That dresser is beautiful, the wood tone gives the room warmth.
Your furniture looks great for the space you have.
In all these years I have never left a negative comment but here I go. I love the color and design of your rug but just wish it were square not round 🤷♀️ I do understand your concept tho and LOVE the TV on the wall!! 👍😘
A larger rectangle rug would be better.
I have to agree ❤
yay...we got to see Jay again. the house is looking amazing.
Jay is the man!
ABBY ELECTRIC FIREPLAC3 UNDER TV REALLY WARMS a SPACE!!!!LOVIN THE HOUSE !!!!
No, please
That’s what I was thinking. I have one and it’s built into the wall and looks so real.
Abby, wait before you paint the piece the TV is on. The natural wood looks really nice.
I absolutely love the dresser..I think it’s a prefect size..tv looks great mounted..your home is coming together warm and cozy..you’re doing an awesome job..one day you will be done and it will be prefect..everyone needs a jay in there life..
I like the dresser the way it is. But I agree that you should wait until you have other furniture before you decide on painting or not. I still say that the white coffee table and white side table need to go.
Oh no! It looks like tiger eye maple which is a very beautiful wood pattern. I might be wrong, since I didn’t really see it up close, but…I love the little dresser. I do think you need a larger piece of furniture in that space, though.
Abby, for those of us who have been with you since day 1, to see you fussing and playing is so much fun to see! Your rear double door looks like a winter scene picture too!!
Definitely need a lamp or two💡. Your house has turned into a beautiful home! Love all your choices, Abby.
Abby, The dresser looks nice the way it is, you could just put a dresser doily down to cover the top and satin the side.
Looks good as it is.
Love love, love the dresser and the color of the wood.
I love the way the dresser looks and wouldn't paint it or change the hardware. A stained coffee table and end table (or two) would really ground your living room. The new chairs are great!
Agreed! The stained pieces would blend in better with the natural wood.
In all these years I have never left a negative comment but here I go. I love the color and design of your rug but just wish it were square not round 🤷♀️ I do understand your concept tho 🙏😘
Good to see Jay!
Looking good Abby. New chairs and cabinet are very nice. Still recommend angling chair by TV. Would not paint chest of drawers.
I love the 2 chair's and the small dresser I'll call it. Great to see Jay helping you out with the TV as looks so nice on the wall. Abby, I'm glad you and Trudy are just down the road from from your Dad and Mom to help out your Dad if you can due to his injured right shoulder. God bless the Gordon Family 🙏❤❤❤❤
I loved Jay's reaction to the frame tv, he's such a sweetheart. Glad you got rid of that ugly chair! Id wait until you get the new sofa and curtains before making paint colour choices myself.
The dresser warms up the room❤❤❤
Abby , you and Jay together have a match of excellency that is exceptional . Every thing you both have done is making your home a haven for you .Jay is a God send and you are reaping a lot of good in you home that you guys have sown . So proud for you . The living room is looking Great , Love the barrel chairs. 💞💫
Hi Abby 😊...Your house is so pretty. I know you are enjoying so much. I just have a couple of comments expressed with a kind spirit. The dresser under the TV looks beautiful as is. And the 2nd beige chair would look better pulled out at an angle from the wall or mirroring the 1st chair at the other end of the couch. It is a hard room to arrange things in. I have one of those myself.
Good advise Annette ❤
Glad to see Jay back. I was wondering if we'd see him again. 🤗
I think you should move your chair over by the couch and angle it towards the tv. That way, the tv and dresser make their own statement on the wall.
My thoughts too.
What about asking jay to make u a unit for under the tv? Your house is awesome 🥰🇬🇧
Glad to see Jay there helping.
Its so nice to see Jay. You need to do another project around your property with Jay he is such a wonderful human. Hes looking younger and younger. Unless of course if Jay is done with DIY. Your house is beautiful
Jay is adorable. Abby you are making great progress every addition adds to coziness
I love the small antique dresser as is. It looks really nice with the oak doors. I don’t suggest you paint it. If you want a painted piece maybe look for a dresser of lower quality. This one looks like it was lovingly restored.
🥰🥰🥰🥰🙏🙏 OH!! Those chairs couldn't be more perfect. You did good, girl. 😊
Abby, it’s good to see Jay helping out again😊
❤😊Hello Abby and Jay. Maybe you could put a stick in the plants and tie them up. 😊
that looks like an antique oak washing stand, it looks great as it is.
HUGE improvement on the tv table !!!
Don’t rush ..,
You will be collecting and changing things for your home the rest of your days 😇💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
Relax and enjoy 🌺
Jay is wonderful. You are lucky to have him help you. Love the living room decorating. Move your plants near a window for more light, just a suggestion. 😊
Looks nice Abby! We like seeing Jay ! Tell Jay he’s the man!👍🏼
Abby, decorating is very personal and to really have a home that speaks to who you are, take time to find pieces you love and it will all be wonderful.
A girl and her dreams is nice to see when she actually working to build her dreams. Your the best.
I missed Jay too. He is such a big help to you. I think painting the white end table and coffee table a dark color would cozy up the room. It is looking so good!
Sharon here... I love the TV on the wall as art! The dresser is adorable and I too say not to paint it! Such a nice addition to the room. Love the new chairs too.! The kitties have grown up so fast! Jay is such a trooper doing things he has never done before and was so cute seeing it with the art picture on the screen! See you next video! 👍☺❤
Love it. Your plants need sunlight. They are in a little shock from the move but patience and sunlight they perk up.
You need a table lamp for your living room. Just saying. 🥰👍💜
Yes, it's been an awesome journey. I can't believe how long but each video taught you more about turning it into the home you wanted. The skills you have acquired will service you well into the future. Looking forward to what's next. You should give Jay a special dinner sometime in appreciation for his contributions to the house. And of course, the others who played a part in the project.
Pretty! Now for a floor lamp and some pictures.
Would look better if you turn the chair next to the tv more at an angle away from the wall.
The chairs are very nice.❤
I like the two new small chairs. Perfect for the cats.😀
Paint the dresser the same color green you did in your bedroom, ( you already have the paint), put some different modern hardware and it will look nice with that neutral chair next to it I think😊. Loved seeing Jay again, you are so lucky to have him!
I like that green idea.
Green 💚 also if you find something different for tv stand ( electric fireplace, buffet) the little green dresser can be your side table on the other side of the bed.
Jay is just the best and always ready to help ❤
I think the dresser will be so pretty painted the dark green you have on your night stand . lamps and art on your walls will help pull the furniture together. The chairs are perfect! Always good to see Jay. ❤❤
I like it the way it is, but if you want the dark green go for it, Abby!
I’ve enjoyed reading all the comments! And yes, Jay seems like my old friend.
You’ve got a huge bunch of folks watching! I love all your content. You make me miss the area…..not enough to move back! NC weather is gorgeous this week. Spring is here & it’s February!
Suggest you leave the new dresser as it is, chalk paint coffee table and end table after you purchase your sofa and chairs so that you may use a complimentary color of chalk paint . You need upholstery that is patterned, lots of throw pillows and floral arrangements-but that me and you need to do you! Looks more like a home now.
Closed storage! When you are getting furniture, Armoires, dressers, side boards, night stands, they will be your best friends. Just for all kinds of everyday items that you can hide from yourself so you don’t get overwhelmed. Also, this piece looks like a really nice oversize night stand. Also, have you been to a RESTORE store?? There is so much choice in those stores, that if you go to 3 different ones in a week you can furnish your entire house in that time.
It’s not just a house it’s now a warm cozy home!
why not custom build your own shelves, storage below and a place for your tv on the wall? Those chairs are perfect for slipcovers so you can protect from the cats and remove for company.
Abby, I think it would look nice to have two full size bookshelves on each side of your sliding glass door. Just my opinion. You’re doing a great job with your home design all on your own.
You are doing a beautiful job. Decorate your home the way you love it. After all, you are the one living in it. It looks amazing.
It's awesome seeing Jay back to help you today. I h ope you continue to make videos for years to come and Jay is always by your side. I can't wait to see the frame he is going to make for your tv. I know it will be awesome. Your living room is looking like a dream home already.
It’s so nice to see Jay and you working together again 👍 I love you show so much 😊
Abby your home is so beautiful. The tv looks awesome on the wall. I love the new chairs. Very cozy, enjoy your precious home.
A green blanket would be better then beige
Hi Abby and Jay you guys made hanging that TV easy peasy! Love it♥️
I love everything! If I can make a suggestion, Idk how you feel of long pretty curtains around the sliding door. I think it will bring colour and texture and it would frame that wall. You can also do blackouts for movie days and nights. And privacy of course.
Things are looking great!!
It's starting to look so homey. It's great seeing Jay! Blessings and prayers...
So pretty. Looking great!
Coconut feet 😂. Different, fur shur!
Thanks for sharing.
Abby you need a stud finder. No sense making unnecessary holes. Their not real expensive. Looking so nice. Love the chairs.
Our neighbor has a coffee table and end tables made out of wood like the wood trim that you have around your windows. What I think you should do is have Jay take some of your Dad’s wood and build you the end tables and coffee table. I think that would really set off your living room.
I do like the dresser looks great! Good to see Jay!
Jay said yes I will help you make that frame around your TV - - he is so excited to have a project to work on,
Abby, love the way you did your tv and the piece of furniture below and your new chairs, love the round feet on your the chairs as well. We love watching you, you have the best videos.
The dynamic duo strikes again!
I love the chairs! The room looks beautiful. I even love the loveseat with it! Love the tv with the picture and no cords!
Love how everything is coming together. Love the finish on your small antique dresser. We have several pieces like that. A frame around your TV in that finish would tie it together.
This looks amazing and just getting the tv mounted opens the space up and makes it look so much more complete 😌 You’re doing great and I’m amazed at how well everything ties together.
That is the cutest little dresser I've ever seen!
Oh that dresser is beautiful- amazing colouring and beautiful detailing in the wood.
I like the furniture and plants on tv wall. I think the dresser is big enough. Lots of room for chair so it does not look crowded. I like the natural wood but I am sure I will like it painted too.
I would paint the white tables that what you see first
Hi Jay!!! Love the tv on the wall and the new chairs❤.
Looks great. Love seeing Jay!! I was missing that guy lol.
Plants might need sun by doors or window
