The example of the bathroom paint is unbelievable--the change!

[@kathleenhunt7613]

Use care when selecting house plants as Devil's Ivy, for example, is toxic to pets. Also, a tip I've used for deciding how to hang wall art is to use paper cut outs of what you want to hang. Makes it easy to try different arrangements and then "hang" these to get the nail holes perfect for the final installation. Thanks for the great video!

[@chloedsmith]

Those LEDs seem really fun! I'm not really a TV person but if I was, I feel like it's easy to kind of give up on your TV ever looking cute, and these look like a great way to do something intentional and aesthetically pleasing with them

[@LynTaylorWade]

Here's me thinking I'm going to have to get another phone to have all my Smart Home apps on LOL!

[@ficstokiohotel9939]

This has been really useful. I already knew most of them, but when an expert tells you "do this" as a piece of advice it gets a whole new meaning. Thank you very much for your videos.

[@traceynguyen6655]

I love mouldings but never knew it was so easy and affordable to achieve the look. Thanks so much for the suggestion!

[@Sarah_C68]

another great video with great photos with examples of changes thank you . The blue bathroom was a particularly good one Also ...Your voice is so soothing :)

[@sorj]

Shutters are pretty easy to DIY - check-out DIY blinds which are based/made in Melbourne. I had some custom made and delivered within a week for cheaper and quicker than a variety of local quotes. Only difference is I installed them myself which was easy to do and took about an hour.

[@LeeSukin]

I’m gonna buy these tv light looks so nice 😅

[@user-jo6zo6ju9b]

Some great ideas. I'd add in recycling when decluttering. So many things can be recycled now.

[@rosemaryboothe8009]

G'day Reynard, thank you for explaining things so simply and thoughtfully. Please keep doing your videos, they are really appreciated! :)

[@louisdapan]

Loving the consistency lately

[@AbcCba-pl6sv]

So many good tips. Thank you tons ❤

[@kenn1936]

Excellent video - thank you so much for all these tips, they are awesome.

Great tips, thank you!

Good job. Thanks.

Another great video - love it!

[@user-iu9xu1so9x]

Really love your content and style.

[@hellototheworld]

Thanks for sharing love your videos i was really surprised to see door handles and drawer knobs at kmart recently great for a budget diy

[@reynardlowell]

Yeah they have interesting things in the DIY section!

[@haleymist09]

You still haveba KMart???

[@hellototheworld]

@haleymist09 in Australia we do

[@hellototheworld]

@haleymist09 it hasn't been affiliated with US kmart since 1994 so it's safe

[@dawnschmitz4402]

You’re a genius!

[@alinav9465]

Super! Lithunia, Vilnius

[@irenegilPM]

Hi Reynard!! I really love your videos, but Im missing more real renovations and real designs as you were doing before, those were unique, these ones can be found some where else, despite I really love your style, the images, the examples, etc. Good luck and thank you for everything you do!!! ❤

[@reynardlowell]

Hi Irene! Appreciate the feedback. Yes there will still be more renovations and makeovers, but at a slower pace. I'm also releasing videos more consistently so there will be more of these types in between projects and makeovers :)

[@pabloelias1418]

I really like the painting at 9:22, do you know who made it? Next month I will move to the first place I can finally call my own and you've been a huge source of info and inspiration, thank you.

[@nuaria2]

My favorite advice is... clean up the mess. So simple, so true. White furniture are very cool but as soon as you drop your post, keys, magazine, dirty cup it becomes a disaster. I often buy transparent, simple boxes marked in a store as 'fridge organizers' or 'shoe boxes' and use them in all my drawers and cabinets. The initial effort is huge (f.e. finding all your pants, finding YT video about pro folding techniques) but maintenance after is super easy... The other leap is your mentality. Store things you need. Be critical. And fixing habits like dropping clothes only in the bathroom. Worst case scenario - only one room gets cluttered.

[@lizharley5723]

In a previous video you suggested that we avoid white upholstery but I note in this video there are several rooms featuring white upholstery!!!!!!

[@Kdrama_Updates]

Thank you for this helpful video. Question is, how should I put a curtain on a window which upper side of the wall is in a 60 to 70 degree angle?

[@DanOsborne]

Where's your floor lamp from in the back right of your shot? It looks great

[@reynardlowell]

I linked them in the description, but there you go - bit.ly/3ce33U4

[@DanOsborne]

@@reynardlowell sorry I missed that! It's lovely. How about the top you are wearing? haha

[@reynardlowell]

It's a henley shirt from Country Road, I just searched for it but doesn't seem like they have it in stock anymore :(

[@Zarga8]

Your links to products were duplicated, some links to recommended products need to be changed.

[@reynardlowell]

Thanks for pointing it out! It's now fixed :)

[@ChrisstinaMorgan]

Any flip/fixer upper/makeover always paint walls in much more lighter colour then before, usually close to white or, where space allows in a very small amount of area in whole percentage of the hoise in a very very dark to make that bold impact but its very risky, because one and the same colour tend to look completely different in a room with different lighting, facing different part of the world (East, West...)...so better avoid this disaster...

[@jaredb3359]

i actually want to know where you go the bonsai tree behind you, is it fake? im looking for a smallish one for my space that looks realistic so many look very fake

[@reynardlowell]

Yes it is fake 😅 There's no natural light in the studio so no real bonsai can survive that unfortunately. Got it at my local hardware store couple years ago but unfortunately can't find them anywhere online.

[@yourconnection9303]

It is said that cluttered homes create cluttered minds.

[@yifan2573]

[@j.m.7056]

Reynard, your demo of Govee is appealing! The demo on their website is not!

[@reynardlowell]

Haha I was pleasantly surprised as well. Thought I’d give it a shot and it turned out really nice.
