Decorating an open concept home

Wow! I was amazed with the huge difference the trim and paint color made when it came to the “floating” animals! So smart. It looks so much more purposeful and cozy now.

oh my goodness!!! what a difference you have made! I hope your dad is also now enjoying his bar area more. Sometimes we buy an item of furniture because we actually dream of a FEELING, but once we get it home, it doesn't always translate. I hope your Dad can FEEL now, that what he wanted his bar to create and why he wanted a pool table is finally able to happen thanks to skills that he didn't have. Now, they are a destination together creating years of future memories and new traditions that hadn't been happening if it just all stayed the same. It might not have been broken before, but "better is better". I hope he is encouraged to share with you other visions he had for his home that he would like guidance to tweak. What a beautiful gift you and Andrea have given your parents, all the sisters and brother-in-laws and all of the grandchildren

Would love a series on the entire barn house makeover! This was great.

This is beautiful! I hope we get to see more of their home as you continue making changes. LOVE! I want to see your dad's pool table space as well and when your mom gets her island!

I think your Mama is blessed to have children who love her and your dad so much that you gave up of your time, treasure and talents to bring their home to life. Good job, you all. God bless each of you.

Very nice! I think your Mon needs another sectional, the room is large enough and it will offer more seating for the whole family when you’re all together.

Looks beautiful! The paint on the wall makes a big difference. Can't wait to see the kitchen finished.

You really need TWO of those sectionals to fit the space😊 they would fill the room out more, provide plenty of seating and look very custom! The whole room is looking great. May I also suggest carrying over some of the green paint to the kitchen area, maybe add the same molding and paint to the left of the wood stove/rock.

Love the "shouse" concept. Did you know that in Northern Germany/probably also the Netherlands, farmers lived in a "Hallenhaus" which is basically the same concept? They were build 13th to 15th century and many can still be visited today. Some are kept the same and work as a museum, others are renovated into modern living spaces. They all have living quarters combined with a large shed for tools and cattle, with a big open living area where the open fire was. I wonder if the "shouse" derived from it when settlers came to America. So cool to hear about this concept in an American setting, it makes perfect sense that people thought of it elsewhere, too.

Thank goodness we mothers have daughters that can help us with design! My daughter has a great eye for design and she helps me a lot! Beautiful home! Great ideas!🙌🏻👏

Happy Wife happy life! Looking forward to seeing all the updates! So glad she let you do this.

What y'all have done is like night and day. I love, love, love the spaces! Keep us updated as she adds to her design.

More of these type of videos, please! Your parent’s house look great!

I love the home of your parents!! The land looks wonderful! We have an open concept home and have done just what you recommended. We carved out little spaces to create a cozy space. Thank you for sharing your parents home. I've often suggested a Q & A with your parents as they did such a wonderful job raising their family. I would love to hear their ideas on everything about raising a family!! God bless your family!!

I like you all have done. It's nice to see done over time and not all at once. Will you share more of how your parents house is turning out when they get the other pieces in?

We had a shouse 40 years ago when our kids were little and my husband had a mechanic business. After moving a country church and making it into our home, 30 years later we are in the process of doing a shouse again for our retirement years. We are looking forward to one level and everything in one space again. Thanks Jo

WOW!!!!! This is an amazing transformation!!!!!!! Your parent's home is so unique and beautiful!!!!!!!!!

Beautiful ❤. I didn’t realize you had a second channel! So grateful it popped up in my feed ❤❤❤

Such a beautiful transformation into something so warm and cozy! All of that just brings warmth to the space! It’s absolutely beautiful!

Definitely needed the visuals to see what you're talking about! Big improvement, especially the two-toned wall color to break down the big area of wall.
