Apartment Makeover on a Budget | Thrifting Home Decor + DIY Furniture

[@rebeccaakabecky3513]

when you put the hanging lamps in your bedroom, put the golden lamps on your buffet for like accent lamps and give it a cosy vibe

[@CuratedbyNatalie]

I agree!! It’s still a little dark in that corner so some lamp lighting would be nice

[@vanessagil7325]

I love everything you got and changed up!!! So much more colorful and comfy!!!

[@charlieehstephenson4893]

Yessss your mother is 100% correct with the pieces paint and stain she’s a professional

[@CuratedbyNatalie]

Truly!!

I loved the rug, dresser, sconce lights, and the 2 tall vases your mom picked out! It all turned out so well but those were my favs...good job!

[@mpi1973]

Great snags! Love the rug! You could put one of the gold lamps on the new buffet to light up that area, and yes, look for a tall floor lamp for the corner by the "vases" - it is really dark over in that area. I would also move the small rock lamp either lower on the ladder shelving unit or in the kitchen somewhere under the uppers. Then use the other gold lamp on the shelving unit, but more on the middle shelf, not the top. This makes a theme going around the space seem cohesive. Look for a large tray for the coffee table to gather up the books and maybe remotes, candle, pumpkin, etc. Happy decorating - how exciting!

15:24 the bird lamp is elite 🤩

[@CuratedbyNatalie]

@@MidnightMuse102 it is the coolest thing!! When I saw it I knew I had to have it and I would find a place for it. It worked out perfectly 🥰

[@MidnightMuse102]

@@CuratedbyNatalie it really is perfect w the shade dresser & 🪞!!!

[@sharonlausin3892]

There’s a lot that I liked. The lamp, rug, the dresser was amazing And the coffee table! You found amazing items. I can never find anmazing items at my thrift stores.

[@CuratedbyNatalie]

Thank you!! I love everything but the dresser is amazing especially the color. We are blessed with a ton of thrifting options in such a big city but I know smaller towns can have some cool estate / yard sales. Sending you good secondhand shopping find vibes 🫶

[@lutgardedh]

I'm glad there is more color with the rug and the pillows in the living room, i find it still a little dark, some lamps perhaps greetings from Belgium

[@CuratedbyNatalie]

I agree!! I think I’m going to move some of the gold lamps out here once the hanging lamps are up per some others suggestions 🫶

[@lilo2226]

Looks so nice, no clutter.Very relaxing look.

[@CuratedbyNatalie]

Thank you!! It feels so much homier but not overwhelming / crowded.

[@christelsievert4000]

Looks amazing - love all the little details.

[@CuratedbyNatalie]

Thanks!!

[@alynicrespilho7934]

This is so much fun, I love the dresser and the lamps! All of it looks lovely, great job finding chairs to match the new table. Love it

[@CuratedbyNatalie]

Thanks so much! 😊 🫶

[@krisdee1840]

Loved the dresser in your bedroom and the dining set is pretty! It's so cool that you and your mom worked together to DIY your new furniture. I can still remember a few videos back when you talked about getting a budget together to decorate your home. Glad you've finally done it!

[@CuratedbyNatalie]

Thank you so much!! I know I’m so glad we were able to do it together 🫶 it’s a great experience to share.

[@hannahchante]

Love the dining room table and all the lamps!! You two did a great job ❤

[@CuratedbyNatalie]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@christinelilly1340]

I feel like the arch over the TV is hung too high. Plants, plants, and more plants will be the icing on the cake! I love the new table and chairs. In the future add some curtains. Looks good!

[@CuratedbyNatalie]

I feel the height on the arch!! I had to get it up to able to see it. I’m probably going to go ahead and lower it. Definitely want some plants. It’s a challenge with 2 cats one thinks plants are a toy the other a snac

[@marywilson7669]

Dang girl your lamp gods were with you! Ha

[@CuratedbyNatalie]

Truly 😂 they blessed me ✨

[@kimsantamaria6617]

You could make a lamp shade from a thrifted basket , like almost a waste barrel like sized one? I think that would tie in so nicely and be cost afficent , love Kim

[@CuratedbyNatalie]

That is such a cool idea! I will look it up and see if there are any videos where people have done it before.

[@NaturallyGifted77]

Very nice make over. That picture you were holding in the bathroom originally came from HomeGoods because I have that same exact Pic and they come in a pair. I got mine for 69.99

[@CuratedbyNatalie]

ahhh! how fun we have the same picture! I did not see a mate at the shop but one works perfect for me. Cool to know where it originally came from, thanks for sharing!

[@patriciawilliamsn9605]

[@CuratedbyNatalie]

[@ScenicJourneys-v8s]

[@grahamking389]

Nice video💯

[@cyndiheron1849]

Nice job!

[@CuratedbyNatalie]

Thank you!! 🫶

[@hanna.hochman7149]

I wish you had more light its to dark to see. ❤❤❤

[@CuratedbyNatalie]

The end uploaded much darker than what I was seeing on my end when editing :( I will double check that things are lighter all the way through next time.

[@karenmiller2785]

The thing above the TV should be eye level it's too high it doesn't balance with the ladder

[@CuratedbyNatalie]

Good tip!! I am a newbie at decorating so I appreciate it.
