Yes black door, sand the island door to get rid of the sharpie otherwise it will irritate you and you'll eventually do it and it may not match your other doors.
I recommend sandind down the Sharpie door. Leaving it leaves the wrong message for the kids and future kids. I love you want to inclued their doodling in the decor but perhaps have them doodle on canvas then hang them somewhere they can admire their work. The house is looking very nice. Great job!
Yes to black door, sets off white. Sand off sharpie, or little artists are going to take it as a go ahead to colour in other areas. The doors are beautiful, start out all done perfectly.
Yes to a darker door, but don't forget the other photos it's BLACK on WHITE. Youvd got that natural wood trim inbetween. A very deep jewel tone might go better than black. Like deep maroon or very dark teal. Just not sure with the trim inbetween
If I could spend one day with any of the Duggar girls, it would be Jessa. She is the sweetest. I wrote to her once & I was having a rough time in my life & she actually sent me a personalized post card that made my day!! All of these choices are spot on!! I love the character on the cabinets & drawers. Definitely go with the black door. All of your greenery is going to look amazing in there. You are such a hard worker & a great Mama. Thank you so much for sharing your life. It is a tremendous blessing. I always look forward to your posts.
Jana is so organized! She needs to rent herself out to do projects. She can organize, use any piece of heavy equipment, grow a garden, and interior decorate while she has dinner cooking. My hero!
@@barbarasnetiker3452 I know who is Jessa and who is Jana! I was referring to Jana as Jessa was echoing exactly what I was saying about her older sister.
Jessa I love how you give us a snap shots of your family at the end that is such a wonderful idea Thank you so much I must say you are one of my favorites of the 19 always have been
I'd do a black door, yes, but be sure to have a few other black accents on the outside to go with it. Maybe a black mailbox, black flower pots, black numbers for the address, etc.
I like the idea of swapping the drawn-on cabinet doors to the laundry room. That way it's not one of the first things that you see when you walk into the house.
Black door- YES Your soul sister Sarah says hi as always. Tell Ben hi for me. We were all excited when you picked the flooring you picked. I think we all have the same exact taste in housing. I think leaving the fireplace there works great. The door is closed when you are inside in the winter typically, so it works but not in the way. Once you get all settled in, I’d love to make you guys a table with a touch of the house,Take a scrap piece of the flooring (if there’s any left) and incorporate it into the piece. Then the house will be a part of that piece forever. Kind of an entry type table or craft table for you/the kiddos. Can’t wait to see all this together. Love the light bright theme. ☀️☀️
Your home is going to be absolutely gorgeous! Black door YES is my vote! I probably wouldn't keep the sharpie art, however. I'm so happy for you and your family. God is good 🙏. Smiles and blessings from Alaska!
I defiantly think the black door! :)) It’s been so nice for you to share your house and all the remolding and the diy’s you have done! Thank you for sharing i enjoy it
I like the black door. I think your an amazing mom and your doing an amazing job and your just a joy to watch. God bless you and your beautiful family .
For the black door, it depends on which direction your house is facing. I installed a black door on the front of my house and I love it. My house faces N/NW, and the setting sun warms up my door immensely. It gets HOT to the touch in the summer months. Be aware of this for any wreaths or decorations you use on your door. Beautiful renovation. :)
Very true! We've had our share of melted wreaths and decor. I never expected hot glue to melt off my decor... in the DC region... in December. Doors that get a lot of sun are hot.
We originally did black but changed to red, it does heat bad. Maybe photoshop a red door. Mg house was white vinyl, black shutters and I got lots of compliments on the door
Yes black door. I love the scribble. You will treasure this in years to come. My mother found that her grand babies had drawn and signed underneath her coffee table in the den. After that we made sure all that followed had their time to draw. It’s a great keepsake I think. Congratulations on your new home.
LOVE the black door idea and Jessa those French Doors are absolutely beautiful! I just love those so much. It let’s so much light in and have such an airy feel.
Thank you for taking us along with your house project! We have watched you grow up and start your family. It is a blessing to be able to keep up with you and your family! Keep making more videos!
💖💖💖Jess, It's looking Really Nice. Love your attitude (nice and chill...the Peace that surpasses all understanding😊). Just an idea...i would take a picture of the sharpie drawing on your cabinet door and then clean and refinish the door to match. You could frame the pic you take and put it on your wall of art Titled "My day of chill" (donations by your sweet little ones😊). God bless y'all and thank you for sharing!
I love the floors, and I think that cabinet door will always be a conversation starter and the child who did it will always see their artwork, 😂 I think it’s neat to keep it, but I would put it behind the island if you can, if not, that’s ok, thanks for the update, I also think the black door would be nice with black trim on the outside, I love White House’s with black trim
Yes, go with a black door. It does look good, if it makes you happy- it's your household. That kind of thing is important. Plus, if you don't like it over time, it's just paint. 😉 Anyway, congratulations! The house is looking so nice already. Excited to see the finished product. God Bless you all! P.S. Thanks for sharing the oil based vs water based tip 🙌🏼 That was very helpful to know about the yellowing over time. 👍🏼
Yes to black front door. And yes to sand out sharpie, it’s really worth the extra time to do now, as the sharpie will take away from the character that the front doors is already have. You’re doing a great job!! 🇨🇦
I’m so excited for you all. The house is looking amazing, very beautiful indeed. Love the hardwood floors and the color you’ve picked was my favorite. I say, let the sharpie drawing. It’s something to remember and cherish from your little ones. They grow up so fast. My grandpa kept something like that from my mom when she was little and it was so special for me to see still there over many many years. Blessings 💖
Yes to the black door!! It’ll look incredible. When I was 7 I was taking a moment to think about something I had done that was not okay (yelled at mom! 😳) During that time, I carved my name into about 8-10 of the brick faces in our entry way. Not to be mean or naughty, I was just in my own world. My parents left it there because (I didn’t know it couldn’t technically be fixed) my job was to be thinking about what had done and why it was unacceptable behavior. Not to let my mind wander and daydream. I remembered that lesson, it never happened again, and all “Ronda” autographs were still present when we sold the house. I was 18. However, it was hidden behind the front door when open and it was rare anyone noticed. As a momma now, I would take a pic with it for lolz 😂 later, and then have the mischievous artist help fix it. Not in big trouble, art captured and appreciated for posterity, child takes responsibility and fixes mistake, learns valuable lesson with siblings watching example provided. Everyone wins! You’re a great momma Jessa, just a suggestion. Remember, mine really couldn’t be without ruining the brick face a different way, so they left it. Otherwise, they’d have had me help fix it.
Also love the idea of turning it into a keepsake cabinet door... It will always be your favorite...🌈 We need to keep the "chill" attitude... Thanks for the reminder.
Everything is coming along beautifully it was so hard to decide I’m sure on the colors of the stain and I’m sure you are making all the right choices!! Definitely yes to the black door I think it will look awesome!!
I vote for painting the front door black! We painted our front door black several years ago & we actually had neighbors come knock on our door to say how incredible it looks! Black 100%! I would also sand off the sharpie marks!
These floors are the exact color we went with in our master bedroom. I've had mine done for 5 years. You'll love this color...dirt doesn't show as much on them like do on darker wood floors.
I vote yes for the Black door. I also agree with others who have commented about sanding the cabinet door so it matches. Some day you may sell this place and you will be disappointed that you didn’t fix it. I love watching your updates. We recently had our kitchen remodeled. Including knocking a wall out. New vinyl floors downstairs except for the living room. It all turned out so nice. We still have to paint (color Silver Mine)everything but living room. Upstairs and hallway. I want to hire someone just to get it all done. We also had my bathtub converted to a shower. Love the new shower! And had the other shower in master bedroom redone. It’s Beautiful.
Yes to a black door!!! Use the cabinet door as a life lesson- have all the kids help getting it off- explaining why no one should write on furniture or walls. Dry eraser shouldn’t take long. Blessings! 💜
I would definitely have to remove the Sharpie on the cabinet. It's just my personality though and it would drive me crazy. I love the idea of the black door. I can't wait to see the finished house.
Yes to the black door! Black trim on a white house is gorgeous. Sand the door... good not to stress but you will be glad you put the effort in and fixed it now.
💯 % a black front door!!! I just saw someone paint their back French doors black (they were the typical white doors) - who knew you could paint them because they weren’t wood but they looked fantastic! House is really coming along beautifully!!
The black door will look very nice. Love your home. Praise the Lord! Enjoy it! And if the sharpie is on the inside when you open the door I would keep it for the memories. If it’s on the outside I would take it off and maybe have them re-color on the inside? You’re a beautiful family. Wish we could hear some spiritual lessons from Ben! Like maybe a short devotional every once in a while. God bless you all! You are a wonderful mom Jessa! The Lord has given you four beautiful children!
YES on the black door!! And you are such an inspirational young lady and mom. Seeing you CHOOSE to “extend Grace” to your children is probably the most beautiful act of service that I’ve seen lately and it’s so refreshing to see, especially in this crazy day and time in which we live! Keep rearing your children to pursue God’s love and you will be so proud of them one day. 🥰
Looks so good!!!👏🏼👏🏼 I love the black door idea, but maybe bring something else black in as well to compliment. Like cabinet hardware, or black legs on a table, something like that.
Everything looks amazing! Thank you for allowing us to follow along on this exciting journey. I think a black door against the all white house will look great and pop. I can't wait to see the house all finished!!
Jessa I really enjoy watching you calmly making a decision on your cabinet door. Check with Jana and Ben for their input. It might be a nice reminder of your remodel,fixer. Beautiful job!
Front door. Has to be your choice after seeing examples. Doodling on the cabinet may encourage future doodling. Haha . I say sand it. I admire how much you're doing yourself. Love that you shared this. I miss your family show. I hope y'all will go with another network.
I LOVE the kitchen layout! Keep the Sharpie. It’s cute. A nice little memory of your kids when they are older. Plus I’m sure it won’t be the last “addition” from the kiddos!
Wow!! This is beautiful!! Yes, the black door looks great. I say go for it. I'm so excited for you guys. Thank you for sharing with us. I pray everything else goes smooth without any mishaps. God bless all of you. Have a joyful, blessed day. Warm hugs & love sent. ♥️
WOW JESSA . You handled that sharpie incident SOOOOO well. Most parents wud have freaked! AND been mad @ their kid & blamed the kid. I am actually kind of shocked a kid wud do that but they probly were just so drawn to the cabinet door (pun intended😄) that they cudn't resist.
Love the black door. And with the Sharpie you can add the kids names, the year and a special thing about each of them that can be there for generations. Include a start date when you started preparing the house and your move in date as well.
Don’t leave the sharpie. You’ll regret it later. After all the beautiful work don’t leave cupboard messed up, you’ll regret later. Yes to black door !!!!
when we paint we always have kids put their hand prints and we paint around em.. keepsakes can come in any shape and sizes.. love ur videos, ty for sharing, been watching u since day one!
It is coming together, can’t wait to see it finished.I vote yes for the black door. I’ve done b&W and it looks amazing with all seasonal decor. Thanks for sharing.
