Not to be dramatic, but I literally shed a tear when I saw Stella Connolly posted 32 minutes ago!!! I've missed you and your videos so so much! I watched your videos throughout the pandemic as I was working as a nurse. Your positivity gave me the boost I needed for my difficult shifts 😊😊 My day has been made! ❤
FIRST AND foremost, my sincerest condolences for not being able to use the room at this time, been there- I get it .. we were worried about you for so long.. so glad your here to share your life with us ❤Stella, the house is fabulous, houses are always projects.. the nice thing is you can do it at your leisure....
I’m loving these little nuggets of Stella we keep getting. I’m praying for whatever medical issues you’ve had resolve and that you are able to use all the spaces in your home like you had planned. I’m loving the updates you have done. Can we maybe get weekly vlogs of non-FA Stella?
Oh sweet Stella. My heart breaks for you. I’m a woman of faith and I will be praying that you will get to use that spare room for your desired purpose. 😢
I felt that deep in my heart! We too have a spare bedroom, that has nothing in it until someday we get to use it, and that day hasn't come yet. So yeah, I felt that 🥺❤
Your home is so beautiful. Wishing you, Bart and Franny all the wonderful memories I know you'll create in your home. You're in a wonderful part of the country too. It's just perfect!
Just got around to watching this blog. Love your new home. Yes turn the basement into an everyday TV room with a wrap around couch that way when you have family over that area is great for movie nights etc. Kitchen cabinets look good painted. Job well done. Attic just complete the flooring and just keep it for storage and holiday decor for the year. Really great space for storage
We just changed the counter top, just do it! It's a weekend project, much easier than the painting of the cabinets. And you are absolutely right about the sink. I still can't brave the painting. I wish you to fill all the rooms soon❤
Hello Stella love the house tour. I hope and pray that you’re able to use that spare room as your heart desires. 🥰💙 Don’t lose hope. Sending positive vibes your way!!!
I missed you Stella. I am so happy to see a new video of yours. Your house is so beautiful and I love all the upgrades you have made so far including the white cabinets. You made the right choice, plus wow you did an awesome job with the painting. Time to relax and enjoy it and concentrate on other stuff. Like you said house work and projects will always be around. Much love ❤
Hi Stella, from your tiny apartment in NYC to your lovely home in VA ! I hope your spare room will be used very soon - in fact I believe we all hope so ❤
Stella watching your videos always makes me so happy. Your new home is gorgeous and I hope you, Bart and Franny have the most wonderful life together there. Your third bedroom will be used for your intentions soon I am sure of it! Much love xo
Fellow AA FA Stella.. currently on maternity leave. It will happen again girl 🙏🏼 we waited 3 years. Got pregnant when we decided to go to Coachella 😂 I'm also from Socal San Diego ❤ love you
Creaky floorboards - screw them down, not nail them down. However, you get to recognise the creaks and I like mine because I know I can hear people moving around in the house at night. Spare bedroom use - if you have PCOS - low carbs. Good luck. I cut out sugar and it worked for me.
Oh so nice to see Franny. How exciting for you guys. All in it’s time I’m glad you are taking your time deciding what is going to work. Hoping that your plans for the room comes to fruition 🩵
Loved seeing ur awesome home! Ive followed u since ur little studio in nyc so this update was so interesrting! Excited to see where wlse u end up in life. U guys are so fun and adventurous!
Nice to see your new home Stella. The creaking floors….sprinkle talcum power on the floor and then use a broom to sweep it into the spaces between the boards. That should help the creaking.
There is always something to do in a home. Don’t stress it takes the time it takes. You will find the answers on what to put where as you live with the house. I am going through a similar thing but in a 16th century stone house in southern France.
So happy for you Bart and Francis I love your home and great job on the kitchen. Don't rush feeling you need to get everything done the fun is forever finding items to make your home more to your taste. So far you have done a great job. My heart hoes out to you both......took me 8 years so don't worry ❤❤. TY Stella for the home tour. Always know You are Loved by many and we pray 🙏 for you also. ❤
Beautiful house! Love your deco! The spare room downstairs could be another tv or family room. As for the other spare bedroom sometimes life gives you lemons and you have to make a lemon margarita cocktail out of it. I’ve been there too girl.. Keep the positive thinking and everything will fall into place ❤
Congratulations on your 1st home! It’s just beautiful! I love the back sunroom and the kitchen cabinets look great painted white!! That 3rd room is going to get filled with what you want I just know it!! Thanks for taking us on a tour!!! ☺️
Thank you for sharing your beautiful home. I completely understand being there over a year and not fully moved in. We purchased our home in October 2022 and here we are March 2024 and we still don’t have much on our walls. It’s a task getting settled in, between working and bills and errands and other day to day things there isn’t much time. And the time we do have we’re tired and want to relax 😁. But we will get there eventually…..everyone we know has lost hope on our house warming party 😂😂 we keep telling them it’s coming soon.
Big home! Very nice! You must be exhausted working on this new place and flying too!😮 Just don’t push yourself too hard. That’s how accidents happen!😊❤
Congratulations to you and Bert on your new home
Oh Stella. I know and understand the spare bedroom. ❤
I caught that too. Wishing her the very best 💞
Bless her 💕♥️
Lots of love and prayers, Stella! ❤
I have been there myself.Prayers.❤
I feel what you meant about the spare bedroom.
Awe, Stella, you, Bart, and Franny have been missed. Thank you for thinking of us!

Me too
Me too 🥲❤️
So happy to see you!!! I missed you and Bart and Franny!!
I was so glad to see she's back too 😄.
I made the move from full-time Nursing to FA ✈️ life and PRN Nursing.
You WILL be able to use that spare room for its intended purpose. Much love Stella ❤
Yes! Sending love Stella. ❤❤❤
The house looks really good congratulations again good work you're doing. You and Bert have a very blessed and happy holiday and New Year's
Painting the cabinets was definitely the best choice!!!
Our spare room was empty for 8 years. My kids are 18 and 21 now. Don’t give up!
My grandmother passed away. I am sad. Watching you helps distract me. Very positive person. ❤
**BIG HUGS** so sorry for your loss 💐
Sorry for your loss.... Big hugs from NC
Cabinets look so much better after you painted them. I agree that the kitchen sink needs to be moved by the window. Thanks for the tour.
Thx&see ya😁
I GASPED when I saw the sun room...ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! Ugh, obsessed.
I think you're a natural interior designer, Stella. You do a lovely job with the spaces you're in.
This LYXBAGS tote is beautifully colored, very sturdy and the perfect size. Not too small, not too big.
That attic 5 level floor would be great with skylights for natural lighting! Use it as a library or a little hideaway and looking at the stars:)
One day your rooms will be full
with stuff from special little people! God
Bless.

I’m sorry for the spare room. I hope you get to use it as planned. I understand, I’ve been struggling for 7 years sending you love.
I am normally not fanatic about ppl. But I missed you when you were gone. I am happy you are back and still your same bubbly self. ❤❤❤
What a sweet getting-to-know-you again video, Stella. Lovely. Take care of yourselves...and Franny.
I’m loving these little nuggets of Stella we keep getting. I’m praying for whatever medical issues you’ve had resolve and that you are able to use all the spaces in your home like you had planned. I’m loving the updates you have done. Can we maybe get weekly vlogs of non-FA Stella?
Kookaburras are SO adorable!! I think they look like cartoon characters! I love them! Great pictures!
Oh sweet Stella. My heart breaks for you. I’m a woman of faith and I will be praying that you will get to use that spare room for your desired purpose. 😢
Me too.
Me three.
I felt that deep in my heart! We too have a spare bedroom, that has nothing in it until someday we get to use it, and that day hasn't come yet. So yeah, I felt that 🥺❤
Me too

Stella and Bart…Give it time you will fill that room up with much L💜VE. Keep your Faith and Belief. It will happen and cheering you on!
❤❤❤ the new house!!! Cabinets in the kitchen look amazing!!! I ❤ white cabinets too! Take good care.❤❤❤
Beautiful home. Praying that your special room is filled with a highly special family member 👶 👩🍼 🚼 🍼
Sending every good, positive vibe that you and Bart will get to use the spare room for its intended purpose! ❤
Regarding the attic - I think installing a bookcase (flush with the wall) that secretly opens to the 'hidden room' would be super fun!!!
So glad you are back!!! So many of us have missed you!
wow what a change from New York. so pleased you are back have missed you
Stella! I’m so happy you are back 💞
Beautiful home! Praying that your spare room will be used for the purpose that you and Bart want!! Franny looks really happy!
The kitchen is perfect! Beautiful home 😍

Hello Stella love the house tour. I hope and pray that you’re able to use that spare room as your heart desires. 🥰💙 Don’t lose hope. Sending positive vibes your way!!!
I love your home!
Oddly enough I grew up in a split level home in California.
I liked it you painted your kitchen cabinets! You had way too much wood.
Love what you’ve done to the kitchen cabinets! The rug is the right choice in the dining room! Beautiful, be proud of all your accomplishments!
Beautiful home! Lots of space. Don’t drive yourself crazy trying to fill every nook. Love how your projects turned out.
Stella so wonderful to see you. Glad you, Bart and Franny are well. You were missed on YT. Lovely home!
Happy you posted. Wishing you and your husband all the best.
I understand the empty spare bedroom. Ours was empty for years and years. ❤
What a gorgeous and cozy home!

Love this long video! Sending good energy for that spare room! ;)
your friends are so lucky to have you, you seem like such a positive and kind person.
Now I know why you didn't have time for us. You've been very busy and I LOVE the white kitchen. A yard for Franny is the best. Beautiful🏘
Omg Stella , your house is beautiful ❤
I'm so happy to have you back 🥰
Stella watching your videos always makes me so happy. Your new home is gorgeous and I hope you, Bart and Franny have the most wonderful life together there. Your third bedroom will be used for your intentions soon I am sure of it! Much love xo

I love your home, it's beautiful! ❤ I'm a new subscriber and I just love your videos ! Thank for sharing ❤
This was such a delightful start to my day!😊 Good luck to you, Bart and Frannie and keep posting!
I love the painted cabinets! It's inspiring me to paint my own. Looks great, Stella!
I'm ecstatic you're back online again. I've missed watching your videos on UA-cam, you always put me in a happy mood!😊❤
Fellow AA FA Stella.. currently on maternity leave. It will happen again girl 🙏🏼 we waited 3 years. Got pregnant when we decided to go to Coachella 😂 I'm also from Socal San Diego ❤ love you

Big hugs, love, 11:15 made me cry. Hopefully some happy day we can share with you tears of happiness 🥰😘😺
Love you Stella. I think I get where you were for so long. God Bless and thanks for sharing your beautiful home❤
Nice to see your new home Stella. The creaking floors….sprinkle talcum power on the floor and then use a broom to sweep it into the spaces between the boards. That should help the creaking.
Thank you!
Beautiful home.
I like the white cabinet better.👍
I love your white cabinets❤ great job!! I hope the room that's a plant room gets made into what you really want ❤
Kitchen looks a lot better white. Good choice!
There is always something to do in a home. Don’t stress it takes the time it takes. You will find the answers on what to put where as you live with the house. I am going through a similar thing but in a 16th century stone house in southern France.
Beautiful home Stella. Franny looks so happy! I love the painted cabinets. I wish you many happy years there.
For goodness sake make Bart’s office and attic your main bedroom and master closet ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for continuing to share your life with us!! What a gem you are ❤
Beautiful home Stella💓. I live in Northern VA as well : ) Happy to see you back on UA-cam! 🥰

My heart hoes out to you both......took me 8 years so don't worry ❤❤. TY Stella for the home tour. Always know You are Loved by many and we pray 🙏 for you also. ❤
Omg girl!!! Why do I get the vibes you are trying for a baby ? Like the one room I get the vibes that you wanted to turn into a nursery ?!!!!
Stella -you are good at these diy projects -luv the idea f plant pot and cement inside it t support timber post!
I love the white cabinets much better than original ones! Pretty house!!
Stella! Girl, I have missed your energy and I'm happy you're back!

I love the cabinets ❤ And it is so nice to see you back in action, we missed that smile and the three of you!

Beautiful house! Love your deco! The spare room downstairs could be another tv or family room. As for the other spare bedroom sometimes life gives you lemons and you have to make a lemon margarita cocktail out of it. I’ve been there too girl.. Keep the positive thinking and everything will fall into place ❤
Congratulations on your 1st home! It’s just beautiful! I love the back sunroom and the kitchen cabinets look great painted white!! That 3rd room is going to get filled with what you want I just know it!! Thanks for taking us on a tour!!! ☺️
Your cabinets look fabulous. Great job.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful home. I completely understand being there over a year and not fully moved in. We purchased our home in October 2022 and here we are March 2024 and we still don’t have much on our walls. It’s a task getting settled in, between working and bills and errands and other day to day things there isn’t much time. And the time we do have we’re tired and want to relax 😁. But we will get there eventually…..everyone we know has lost hope on our house warming party 😂😂 we keep telling them it’s coming soon.
Big home! Very nice! You must be exhausted working on this new place and flying too!😮 Just don’t push yourself too hard. That’s how accidents happen!😊❤
Fingers crossed for your spate bedroom. Plants bring the room good energy.
