We are a DIY family trying to build a better life. We like to share projects and regular life updates. Our goals are to create a happy home, live healthy, develop our life skills, and see where our life leads us.
My favorite parts about your videos: 1. We love being a part of your family. There is definitely love exchange with everyone. It is refreshing to see love and mutual respect. I feel like you are my family too. 2. I really respect how Doug takes time and care to complete every task in a meticulous and proper manner. You are level headed and made choices based on worth. I hope you save videos for potential buyers and banks! 3. Doug, you have a proverbial wife. Cherish that. 4. I love nature too. You are creating a home, not just a house.
Everytime I see her drawings with a group of drawings I think that would make wonderful material, kids would love it!! Curtains, bedspreads, sheets. Some company needs to look at it!!
In every house we've lived in where we've been allowed to paint, we chose colors that suited us at least at the time. Right now the outside of our house is super colorful, and people often make comments. Let them. It makes us happy. The colors are meaningful to us. Well done. I can't wait to see the room in that color (and not just on the paper). I'm glad to see color in that room.
Hiya Your little man in the background is taking it all in, he is just so cute! Belle's art is fab. The water dragons and the shipwreck pics would make a great fabric or wallpaper to use for a kid's bedroom. I love the colours you are going with for your bedroom. Can I just say Thank you both for taking the time to make and share these wonderful videos.
Having Maverick sitting in the background like he’s the director is everything. The new colors for the walls and floor are perfect for now ( or until you change your mind again)
The sounds are GLORIOUS! Mating season gets loud, but that's nature for you! Sorry for your bad luck, but I love how you always pull through! Artwork was fabulous!🥰🥰🥰🥰
Loved this video. You both have a special vision. Loving the colors. Bell’s artwork is amazing. I see her illustrating for children’s books in the future. You need to make a video of just nature sounds on a loop. I could really sleep with that. Keep up the good work.👍👍❤️💚👏👏
BELLE'S ART IS HIGHLY MARKETABLE!!!! Please, please pursue that for her. She's an amazing artist and deserves to be promoted. My favorite was the piece she patterned after the puzzle. WOW....just WOW!!!!!
Thats natures symphony I don't think id be bothered by that either. People get machines to recreate those beautiful sounds. Much better than that persistent noise of the cars when you were living in the school house. Big up for Belles artistry too x
When you started putting the paper up I thought what a lovely colour, I am glad you chose the same colour stain it's going to look beautiful in the bedroom/office
I love Belle’s artwork. Her beach scene is my favorite. I really like the dragon and sea dragons. ❤ Y’all come across as gentle, honest, genuine people. I’m glad I found your channel.
I really like the color like adobe, so pretty. I love Belle's art, but glad she is able to play more now. The sound of nature and the peacocks are so nice and relaxing.
City people don’t get nature sounds and many can’t handle it. I love the nature sounds. Belle is a beautiful artist. Just take a break and go with the flow while you can’t do anything. Just enjoy yourselves and your family.
Maverick is such a well mannered young man, you should be so proud of yourself for raising two such beautiful children! God bless y’all abundantly and stay safe and healthy!
I think this video was awesome..Maverick stole the show while he was sitting in the lawn chair! Almost didnt hear anything Doug was talking about😊 I really like your color combination....the green was very nice too. Looking forward to seeing the finished room. Belle your art work is awesome! Good job!👏
Love the rosin red color…it’s warm and rich and welcoming!! Enjoy the transformation of your home!! Love, love, love Belle’s artwork…she’s a visual story teller and has so much talent and so many stories to share!! Loooove that Maverick was enjoying the day, in the background, while sitting on the deck as Mom and Dad visited with their cyber neighbors!!
Wow Belle! Love the art work. The water baby dragons and the ship wreak pictures are my favourite. Keep up the great work. 👍😁 Looking forward to seeing the colour in the bedroom up on the walls. 👍😁🇨🇦
Absolutely LOVE the stain color. It’s more along the Florida coral colors and fits very well in the retro Florida color palette. I really really love it!! Belle ur so close to being ur moms twin. What a lovely young lady u have grown into being. As always ur art work is amazing especially in the details. There’s a place online where u can send a photo and they will punch u out a puzzle. But my favorite is the water dragons. It whimsical and fun. Glad to see all of u and glad life in Florida is giving u the peace and calm u we’re looking for.
Just becareful and not get your home interior too dark because it will be depressing. You're in Florida you need it light bright and airy. Ashley cut out all the trees because she wanted it to be light and I understand that light is vigorating so keep it lite guys LOL love your videos you do awesome work and Ashley I love your style
Wow! Super art Bella 👍🏻 also love the red it sort of reminds me of a faded brick color if that makes sense, small amounts of progress is better than none at all you guys are doing great love your channel 🤟🏻
It’d be interesting for you guys to go back to all the vendors over the years and go see who’s still in business. Great job Belle. It’s great to see all that you and Maverick get up to. 😎👍🏻
I love that color stain. Belle is awesomely talented!! I live in Virginia and we have a pond in the backyard. People have thought there were women screaming at times, the frogs were that loud. I think it's the bullfrogs, the tree frogs kinda whistle. Here it's the sound of warmer weather, we love it.
Night sounds are beautiful, not horrible. Because you have frogs tells us that your land is in good condition. Different frog species call at different times of the season - some early, some mid-season, some late in the season. You are fortunate to have them. Belle's artwork is beautiful! Love your channel and your determination to get things done!
I actually LOVE these type of videos from you guys. I love your unique design choices and it was so fun to see beautiful Belle and her lovely artwork!❤
Maybe you can enclose your porch with screen so you can enjoy evenings outside and not get all bit up by the mosquitos! I think the sounds are very calming. And I worked on ranches for years - I love the sounds of all the cows and calves.
Love your non-video video. You guys are great. Really love your editing of all your videos. ( loved the Giraffe). Eagerly wait for each new video. keep up the good work (play). Oh and Fabulous workshop build!
Great video and the color reminds me of a smoky mauve color. It fits the age of the house and was very popular in the late 80's and 90's with home decor. Bring the old back to new.......I love it! Good luck on all the CC charges and hope your funds get returned. I feel badly for the business's going out. It's rampant and my heart goes out to those losing their lifes income in many cases. Blessings
Probably need to get a new card from your card company. If you make a police report for fraud/identity theft, they can work on finding these cyber criminals. ~~The Shipwreck is my favorite. :-) The wood stain would still look good with the mint floor in the bathroom. Perhaps the lighter color on the palate would work in the bathroom, or to stain a frame for Belle's artwork for the bathroom. Good place for a shipwreck right? ~~ I wonder if the 'frog chorus' is a sign of weather change or something, since they don't do it all the time. :-)
Belle is so very talented! Her drawings would be wonderful in a children's book!!! I love the wall stain color. The house is going to be beautiful!! Hate that you've had issues with your orders and stolen information. So glad ya'll made a video. Hugs and love from Mississippi ❤
I like the color. Reminds me of adobe clay - very southwestern. Are you planning on applying a sealer over the stain? If so, maybe do half of your sample board to see how much the color changes/deepens.
It’ll be interesting to see what the color looks like in different lighting too. And a varnish will change the color too whether it’s a satin or semi gloss, etc.
The pajarito and burgundy look good together! I love that it's not solid, so you can see the wood grain. That will complement your wood-tone finishes in the room or throughout the home. 🙌 🥰
I love the non- building vids also! I feel like we're just sitting around chatting about house plans and whatnot. I KNEW when you hung that paper on the wall with Ashley's interest peeked that you were going to change the original plan! Can't wait to see it all come together!!
You're working on dust collection, I already have a dust collection system, it's under my bed, not sure where all the dust comes from but it collects under the bed. Lol
Wonderful update video. Love Belles's work... glad she is still into dragons. I think the stain color you picked will be wonderful. I love your night sounds especially that peacock. 🥰I cant wait to see what is next.
