Try salvaging the original wood floor and putting it on the ceiling. A warm contrast to stark Scandinavian design.
Ah I'm so excited to see the changes! You've been talking about these renos forever so what a great feeling it must be to finally get started. Also those renders of the backyard space??? GORGEOUS
SOOOOOOOO LOOOOOOONG
🇲🇽 hello from Atlanta Georgia!
I was born in Tijuana Mexico, currently in college( future radiologist) you inspired me to start keeping my hair natural and fast forward to 4 months, I have been LOVING my natural hair.
You’re truly beautiful inside and out ! I have been watching you for years and seeing you continue to stay true to yourself and your mental health is inspiring ! Your positivity and videos bring me joy when I get frustrated with school, thank you for being yourself always. Congratulations on your home, career and love !
Te mereces todo el amor y Felicidad de el mundo. Benediciones y Salud a ti y a tu familia Siempre ♥️🙏🏻☺️
Ps : we have to keep going , keep chasing our dreams , Bc we didn’t come from rich parents, we have to work hard each and every day, but it will all be worth it . SO LETS KEEP GOING MY FRIEND ♥️🙏🏻🇲🇽
. “When you have a dream, you’ve got to grab it and never let go.”
this was so sweet and kind of you, thank you for taking the time to write to me, love you ❤️
@@MelissaAlatorre ♥️☺️🙏🏻
I would die without central a/c. I already keep it 65 degrees or below in my apartment. So happy for you guys!
Ooooooo trust me when I say it was unbearable, we got temp window units for the rooms but the second you turned them off or walked into the main area of the house it felt like hell 🤣
Congratulations on your home, can’t wait to follow along with the renovations 🥰
You have a lot of great plans. Can’t wait to see the remodel!
I can’t wait to see this house done it’s already such a beautiful cozy home good luck Melissa
Thank you ☺️
love it! thank you for showing us your house progress! 💓
Very very excited to see how the renos go! I totally agree with living in a house first before doing any work. Also unless you are buying to flip then do what you want to suit your needs. Don’t worry about resale
What a beautiful home! I love your aesthetic and appreciate the house-hunting advice.
Such a beautiful home…can’t wait to see the transformation. Also love Kyle-cam…especially the pan overs to Boomer in the guest room. ☺️
I had to cut so much of boomer from
His footage hahaha boomer follows me EVERYWHERE
Beautiful, love all the light!
You definitely need a tub.... cramps, sore muscles, romantic evenings!!! I cook almost everything from scratch and rarely use a microwave. I went two years without one, but my mom insisted I needed one so gifted one to me. It is nice to have. I have a new appreciation for it.
Cant wait to see it done!
I’m so excited to see the transformations ! I also can’t stop staring at the fit it’s so cute , I need it in my life!!! You look so cute 🥰
Thank you! It’s from Zara!
We got rid of our microwave a few years ago. We are so glad that we did; we don't miss it.
Love your house 🏡 it looks very beautiful and very roomy!!!
How is this a "fixer upper"? It's gorgeous.
oOooooOoooooooo it is a fixer upper my friend - it's a 1924, parts of the foundation aren't even touching ground anymore, no insulation, no central air/heat, uneven floors with mixed laminate and hardwood. We made it look cosmetically pretty while living in it but it was not functional - oh ya, the electric is outdated and if you run more than 2 things at once like a hair dryer and washing machine, you will blow a fuse!
@@MelissaAlatorre ah. I see. Well, it's gorgeous.
Toaster oven > microwave anyway for reheating smaller portions. If you miss a microwave at some point, you can always get one second hand or get a cheap one.
Great job!❤️❤️❤️
Great home for the huskies! 🥰🥰🥰
Congrats 🍾🎊
😭🤣 you let a fly in your face was everything. I brought a fly and bug zapper it kills fly’s, I never have to worry about flys in our house, highly recommend got it off Amazon.
Great home!!!!Kisses from Greece!!!
Such a great fixer upper! Can’t wait to see the final home tour after the renovations! Where is your couch from?! Love the color!
it was from Restoration Hardware but from a while back, we are selling it!
Yes. I’m so excited and happy you showed us the before. I know it’ll look amazing !! You are the cutest ever. I love how you don’t have a huge home and all that ya know ? Not to be mean in anyway to anyone who owns a big home. Ha
had to start somewhere! and omgggggggg I keep saying, because this is our first home and we are very much inexperiences, if we had taken on a bigger home I would not have known what to do and probably would have given up and hired someone to do the design work for me hahaha
Do you have any video or pictures of the actual "before"? You had mentioned that you had changed the closet in the master bedroom and added the IKEA closet system as well as closing up a door (to another closet I think?) in the guest bedroom. I know you have huge and wonderful plans for the house yet to come, but I would love to see what it was like when you bought it to get a sense of what it takes just to get it to the point it's at now. I live in Chicago and as 1 person, a house is unlikely. But I would love to have a sense of the actual potential of an apartment that is also 100 years old...
I do love the aesthetic you're describing. Although I wish you'd keep the original wood floor planks!!! 😭 But with the open floor plan.... I guess I have to concede. All the best! 😘🤗🙏
So nice. Boomer and your other pup will LOVE the AC. Your dogs are BEAU-TI-FUL!!! May I ask what was that at the base of your toilet?
Love your content 💜💜what brand is your water bottle btw?!🤗
What blinds did you use? I have the same windows
Excited to see the transformation! But have to ask - where's Meeka ?! She's so cute
She was in the intro LMAO! She’s very independent while Boomer is my shadow
@@MelissaAlatorre oh you're right haha k was worried for a sec haha..
You'd be a great realtor!
"Are you going to my toes again??" lmfaoo
I hate him for that hahahaha
Sorry this is an off topic question, but how do you keep your dogs hair out of everything in your home? Your home looks so clean and hair free lol ...I have 1 large husky/german sheppard mix and his hairs are everywhere all the time.
I vacuum twice a day with the Dyson - the newest version with the laser that lets you see all the hair and dust you miss! and it has a ton of attachments that I can also use on the walls, floor boards and furniture LOL
im kind of obsessive about it
@@MelissaAlatorre Oh my gosh I'm going to def. look into getting that vacuum. Thank you!!
I do not understand the no microwave life, what about leftovers???
I usually hear on pan!
I didn’t have a microwave in my apartment and didn’t ever need it lol
💚💙
Ahhhh loveeeeee! This house is so beautiful! Bet it was probably almost 1million 😣 I've been in los angeles my whole life but I know it's probably never going to be a dream come true to buy a home here...probably going to move to Palmdale 😅
Spot on! It NUTS over here! Hence why we said let’s start small and see how it goes, we’re leaning towards Portugal LMAO!
👍👍👍👍👍
Are you going to try to reuse the floor plants in some way?
Floor planks……..
I wanna know what was on the fridge haha
👍
I would’ve sided with Kyle on the no bathtub option lol I never understood the hype, they take up so much space, are not grandma friendly 😤 the water gets cold super fast and the thought of sitting in water that has all your dead skin cells just floating around you…egh not for me lol the house that I’m remodeling I’m taking all the tubs out 😂
Finally, someone who doesn’t like and understand the bathtub hype for the same reasons you listed. Also, I never use them and I don’t like cleaning them. I’m in the midst of remodeling and the bathtub was the first to go.
It’s for resale value - most people with kids want tubs!
Please go watch IMTaraMichelle’s renovation videos. So much fun❤️❤️❤️
If I were you I would keep the microwave.. at my old place we hardly ever used it. But now we’re are in a place that doesn’t have one and I find that now that I don’t have the option to use it I actually need it more… 🙄
Welcome to my crib: before edition
Didn’t realize how LONG you’ve been with your boyfriend... OMG it was about time he proposed! 😓
it didn't matter if he proposed on day one or day 501 - we knew we would be together forever, love has no timeline.
@@MelissaAlatorre Aww... love your answer!
I go NUTS over my feet too!!! I hate feet! 🤮
The house has been stripped of all the charm and woodwork. This is no longer a California bungalow. If you wanted an empty shell of a house, you should’ve bought a mid century ranch style home in the San Fernando Valley.
I’m very much team eff the microwave so I appreciate that! If you eat healthy, you usually need it less and it’s the way of the Italians, so I support 🤌🏼
ya I honestly can not remember the last time I used one for the life of me!
