When you said you weren't going to get a new rug until and then stopped and said for awhile, I knew what you were going to say and it made me tear up...my dog was about 14 when he passed. I was living out of town and couldn't get home on the day we put him down ♡
I like how you get things done and include the kids. I sometimes just want to do it fast when they are napping but yet don't want to do anything while they are napping.
One of the things I enjoy most about your videos is how involved your little girls are in everything you do. Granted, they are small, but I can sense the interest and excitement whenever there's anything 'new' going on, whether remodeling or just cleaning. You and your husband are so patient with your children, and it will pay off - both for you and your children - when they are grown! Great video!!
Hi Denise every room you do is gorgeous you have such a flair for makeovers so clever. What beautiful children you have so blessed and such loving parents.
Always let your girls help you when they want to ! My mom used to make me do everything with her ( cooking , cleaning , decorating , crafts ) so growing up I new all these things by heart and didn’t hate doing them
I really like where the new couch is now. I think it definitely makes more sense as you can look out into the yard if some kids were outside and some inside at the same time 👍🏼
Just FYI if you haven’t gotten rid of that rug - professional carpet cleaners have access to chemicals that are not available to Gen public that will deal better with urine. It may be worth a try.
We have an 13 year old Maltese who’s been having more frequent accidents on our NEW rug. She drinks and eats more so we took her to the vet. They tested her for cushing’s disease and sure enough. She has a tumor on her pituitary gland and is now on meds for the rest of her days, months, years. We don’t know for sure. She’s not in pain. Her accidents are less frequent as she’s on the meds. We have also used Rocco and Roxie, bought on Amazon for pet smells. I even use it in my rug shampooer
Hi Denise, have you thought about adding doors to the top few shelves in the play area? You could either add new ones or repurpose the existing bottom doors and add some chairs at the bottom instead, making a work table for the girls perhaps? Another amazing transformation, you have done such an amazing job on your home :)
Loved the under couch treasures and then you found the in couch treasures 🤣. Love seeing the little ones help. My 2 ½ year old grandson helped me empty the dishwasher and he was thrilled on how well he did, he also told me that I did a good job 🥰. Sorry about Bella, in case you find another rug that has urine on it vinegar gets the smell out really well. I cleaned it, then put the vinegar and water mixture on let it sit for about an hour then cleaned it again. We adopted two dogs that are sisters and they had been rescued from a puppy mill. Unfortunately they weren't house broken and occasionally still have accidents but they are happy and make huge strides in their progress. I'll be keeping Bella in my thoughts and prayers. Bless you and your beautiful family.
You guys are so good with the children. Not sure where you get the energy but I say, God Bless You. Your littles are so cute to watch. I think your oldest is very smart as she thinks before she does something and at four that’s incredible. Love the video.
100% agree with the room sharing its good for them to be close, when they reach a certain age they won't want to share anything and you would regret that time they could have been sharing and being happy in each others space let them be kids and share as sister before that stage ends x
I enjoy all ur videos. I used to let my kids help me cook. It always took twice as long if not longer. Today at 24 and 21 they are excellent cooks 🥰 it was a wonderful bonding time💕
I love all your videos, I get so motivated to do stuff around my home. Although I don’t have little kids anymore (my youngest is 13) I see that American families just have too much stuff, I guess it’s the big houses you live in, here in Mexico our homes are much smaller so clutter isn’t an option hehehe. I remember after my kids’ birthdays, I would take out a bunch of stuff before opening all the toys they received. I admire your energy especially with 4 little kids.
it's very beautiful the change you made 👌 I love it ... bravo Denise you always have good taste, and bravo also to John 👍👏 (the children are wonderful 💖💖💖💖)
My 6year old daughter and 4year old son have been sharing a room for the last 3 and a bit years and they are both very happy. At last year they even slept in the same bed as it gave them both comfort.
The family room came out like"wow"!!!...the only thing I'd do differently is the hanging stuffed animal thingy and the over filled baskets under the book shelves (less is best)....the girls sharing a room when their small is always a good idea, it gives them a chance to bond, and learn how to share, and respect each other's space....the room came out cute, love the night time "reading cave"!!!.…the outside movie area is such a cool idea!!!...hope the rain and the urine smells didn't ruin it too much for you guys??....the part that made me smile the most are your "sweet little helpers", just darling!!!...
I absolutely love your videos! The girls room, and play room, turned out great. My older sister and I shared a room for yeeears until my parents had a new house built when I was a Senior in high school. THAT’S how long we shared a room. The girls will love it! I hope you all had a great weekend. 😘
It's Sunday and time for the Wonderful World of Denise and John! Great job on the kiddos playroom. Love the picture rail, especially over the sofa. That wall looks great! The girls shared room looks charming and I can imagine a lot of whispered giggles and fun taking place. My one suggestion is to have the mirror ar their eye level 😉 The kiddos are getting so big. Lennie is so helpful and was surprised how interested Theo has become in helping out. Twins are so handsome and looked adorable in the swinging cot. What a beautiful family.
Theo did a great job with the mop, she even did the foot pedal, little sweetie. Every time i see your outdoor movie space i want to do it but my daughter just turned 33 and I'm empty nesting. No grandkids...YET. Have an amazing week, Denise. Special hugs to sweet Bella. 🥰
Your family is Beautiful. All those babies are so wonderful with their smiles and trying to help lol. You & John are doing a great Job with your home it’s Gorgeous.👍🏻
My heart goes out to you Denise. I had to say goodbye to my best (furry) friend yesterday. I wouldn’t wish this on my worse enemy. On a happier note I’m gonna be bummed when all areas of your home are renovated because I LOVE this series! ❤️
When you put that cute potted plant on the table, my first thought is always omg I could NEVER with my son! He’s so wild lol. I’m also starting to think about transitioning him from the crib to a toddler bed, but that also terrifies me because I don’t think he will stay in the bed hahah. I haven’t finished the video yet, but I can’t wait to see how the shared room comes together! I think the girls will have so much fun sharing a room!
hear a lot of people saying that. I'm lucky enough my kids don't pay attention to the plants because they've been around them all their lives. I will keep Theo in a crib for as long as possible. Once she starts climbing out, thats when she gets a toddler bed.
On your first shelves, I would put a bunch of colorful cloth bins and use those as decor/storage for small toys, and move everything else up a shelf and utilize the shelves more. Your space turned out beautiful as usual. You really have a design eye.
Happy Sunday!!!I love what you did with the patio area👍🏻💖the playroom is spacious,inviting,many hours your girls and boys will learn,grow,share,create,putting your heart and soul into every vision you see putting it into action and Bamm!you slay it❤️🎶❤️
Hi Denise, Love your playroom and girls bedroom make over. New rug looks beautiful in the play room area. Pictures with the picture shelve turned out beautiful. Great DIY! Theo was to precious with mopping and especially covering her ears during John drilling. The twins are just growing like weeds. Fine babies boys. Too cute! Beautiful family! 👍😘TFS!
Girl you definitely provide the motivation! Love the playroom,girl’s room and the outside space. You have a lot of helpers. Your boys are so precious sitting up on the sofa!😘
You always find such nice rugs. I love to see Lenni and Theo help you with projects! Today my little friend was here and helped me hang our laundry. She’s 2 years old, she needs some practise 😆
I love your videos! They are so genuine. Love seeing your little ones. They are adorable ❤️ I hope you all have a great week!! Thank you for another great video
Such a great makeover denise love those prints i just adore how helpfull the girls are and carnt waite till the boys start helping mommy & daddy much love 💕💐xx
thank you and I agree. I only moved it before because I thought I was going to use the wall as a preschool wall for the girls but it never worked that way.
The outdoor bed looks so inviting! And there is space enough for all family members. Just perfect! I saw the original of "the kiss" in Vienna many years ago. It is really a very beautiful and impressive painting.
Klimt is one of if not my favorite artists! I have "the Kiss" hanging in my home ( in the bathroom actually) it looks good I promise Lol! I adored those "baby Klimt's" They look amazing in the playroom space!! The whole space looks great! I shared a room with my sister growing up & I completely agree that it's a great way for siblings to grow up. Many fond memories of the different configurations & bedspreads etc. ♥ I hope Lenni & Theo enjoy it. The twins are getting so big! Thanks for sharing Denise!
Thank you so much! I’m sure it looks beautiful in your bathroom! Thank you for sharing that with me ❤️ I’m already loving our nighttime routing in there but we still have some work to do as far as getting them to fall asleep. Totally worth it though! Thanks for watching!
Your house is so beautiful, some really lovely and unique features. I love the way you work with the original features of the house. The playroom looks great. The little tent is so cute.
Wow your house is getting more perfect from time to time I so enjoyed watching this video and seeing how it all came together into a beautiful harmony, And the play corner came out so cute !!! Thank you Denise for the lovely content That you share with us
So happy to see your video upload and such a lovely transformation both the playroom and girls room. Also the outdoor movie area looks so cozy. Eagerly awaiting your master bath reveal.
What a great looking play room. Love how the girls enjoy helping. Your boys are adorable and growing like weeds. Seems like they just got here yesterday. Beautiful family ❤️
The girls are so cute when they’re helping! Love how that picture rail in the playroom turned out & I’m sorry about the living room rug and to hear Bella isn’t doing well.
Beautiful playroom!! I love that art and the new rug. The video lasted me exactly as long as it took to fold two loads of laundry, so thank you for keeping me company!! 😂🥰
😍 thank you for this super motivating video,LOVED IT. It's so true what you are saying about having your girls get involved,it even gives them independence too 😁 which is so awesome. Also loved how your girls room turned out, I'm sure they will love sharing a room 🙏. Hope you have an amazing week.
I’m a big fan of room-sharing too! Once they’re school age, they’ll spend much more time apart than together so I say let the shared space cement their friendship.
I have always loved your videos but now they mean so much more to me. We purchased a house here in our town so we are moving from our rent house to our own house which happens to be only 4 streets away. It has great bones but needs some TLC and we will be doing most of that ourselves; paint, changing light fixtures, caulking everywhere, landscaping, etc. I hope to one day redo the master bath and closet but will probably sub that out. It is an exciting time for us.
Loovvvve the artwork! Wish I had wall space for more decor. Everytime I see you guys' daybed. I think about Eleanor when she called her dad a crab! She's so funny.😁😂. Love watching you all.
I too have a couple of very old fur babies. One pit bull that is 19 and another one that is 14. Along with many more ..I gave up on rugs except like next to our beds that get picked up and thrown in the washer on the regular. Love those fur babies. Oh ya a house full of teenagers too. Love them too.
Great video as always Denise!! Love how the playroom and the girls room came together ❤. My girls also share a room, since they were little, they're still little ages 7 and 10 lol but I think they'll share a room for a few more years 😅. Love those pictures as well, they're beautiful and unique! Ellis favors you, they're both getting big 😄. I hope you and your family are doing well. Thanks fr sharing as always 😊
Denise- I have an older cat that urinates on my carpet and here’s what has worked for me: Half water, half vinegar- mix as much as you need for the stained area to soak. Then I pour hydrogen peroxide over the area and sprinkle baking soda over everything - let it soak and bubble for at least an hour, the longer the better. Then use your carpet cleaner to vacuum everything up. Really has worked for me!
