It pains me every time I see a youtuber having to justify their choices. People forget that even though they are sharing snippets of their life with you it is still their life and their choice. I wish we can just watch and enjoy it while realising that every one has their own taste and it's ok. Loved the transformation, Lily ♥️

[@E-A.]

This was a real education in home decore. The relatively small changes you made changed your room from a 'princess' looking room into a fancy hotel boutique bedroom. I love it xx

[@marroosh]

FINALLY! By the way why should your choices be controversial? If you want nicknacks on your shelves you do that! If you want a rug on your carpet you go for it! I live in the hot and humid Gulf area so all floors are marble or other stone types because it keeps things cooler but it’s different everywhere so why get all worked up about people doing things according to their taste and needs. Maybe people need to be a bit more educated and accepting of the diverse world we live in!

[@lilypebbles]

Marijke Fox I just like to get it in there myself first otherwise al the comments say the same thing. After years of making videos I kinda know what comments to expect now

[@marroosh]

Lily Pebbles shame you have to do that!

[@Stasiaignatova]

I can't believe the difference!! The paint colour looks different in both spaces which is crazy. I absolutely love the changes, it's like a grown-up version/more classy/everything you could want in a bedroom. Obsessed!!

[@ruthhewett3208]

Love this, so many makeovers start from scratch with a blank room, whereas this is reality for most of us - deciding how to update but not completely overhaul a room. I found this really helpful- thank you Lily😊 x

[@kthillier]

Your bedroom is beautiful. I really appreciated your honestly when it came to the choices you made and cost considerations.

[@miriamwilson342]

Can I just say I love how you spaced this out over so many months to show the actual process of a room makeover, how time-consuming and expensive it can be. It doesn't create any unrealistic expectations for anyone. I love the finished room and found this very inspiring overall! Especially because I also struggle with picking the right colours and accents in a room. Thank you!

[@WordsByTheGigahertz]

The headboard change really opened up the room! My favorite change

[@carmengrauwels]

Weird how (when you renovate or redecorate) Some rooms are a hit and Then there is one room you just don't know what to do 🤷🏻‍♀️ but the room looks amazing the green is just spot on & the little details 👌🏻

[@SamarkandChan]

I live in the Arctic in norway, and we don't have carpeted floors even though there are literal reindeer eating the flowers in the garden. 😅 We just use big area rugs over wooden floors. Easy to replace, clean and move around. 😊 Never feels cold. We also wear slippers if it's an older house that's not well insolated. Whatever people want to do is obviously fine. But temperature wise, we don't seem to have an issue. 😊

[@kichiii]

Was just about to say the same - live in Sweden and it’s obviously cold here, but hardwood floors are found in every home. (Not a dig towards people with carpets, I understand it’s a cultural thing to some extent.)

[@manentessa]

Suggestion for the wooden desk drawer: Adding a mat black central nob / handle could allow it to open with one hand and go nicely with the black chair and black accents of the room!

[@sophieschoices9663]

manentessa IMO I actually think that would give too much of a “matchy-matchy” vibe to the room...

[@sparklingdreams6344]

good idea i wasn't loving the two small wooden knobs

[@charlottehardesty4934]

Omg I LOVE it!! The new headboard really brings out the colour of the walls, whereas the old one made them look almost beige rather than that lush pink. Handles are amazing, in fact everything just looks gorgeous. I’m very jealous! My room is a building site at the mo, but this has given me some great inspiration xxx

[@evelynmenjivar428]

Do you mind sharing where the wall sconces are from ??

[@GoodandDelicious]

Hey, they sell these things that you can put at the edges of rugs so that they don’t move as much. I think that would be great since you don’t have to lift the rug completely off the ground you, just turn up the corner, stick it on and voila!

[@lilypebbles]

GoodandDelicious oh great! I’ll look into it. Thanks

[@EmilyHeartsCookies]

This looks so beautiful, Lily. Loved your entire approach to using a decorator to get a 'realistic' but really well done room. Also, your hair makes me wanna cut my hair! :)

[@deeyacantabile]

I never clicked on a video this fast! Your home reno video never disappoint! Stay safe from covid-19. - Love from Malaysia

[@jessyoung9911]

deeyacantabile you too x

[@kirstenrubberducky]

The difference is incredible! It just feels so warm and welcoming now and the whole thing looks complete.

[@ayyaz.4864]

Wow what a beautiful room in the end! I can't believe people thought all those things were 'controversial', it's very common for people who love interior to opt for those choices. I understand some people prefer functionality over form, but why not both if you can. After all it's your bedroom and you want to relax in it. Well done! I think Rebecca is an amazing interior designer/decorator!

[@ayyaz.4864]

Also in AUSTRALIA that gets really stinking hot in the summers, I think most homes have built in carpets as well unless it was renovated/chosen without carpeting from scratch. But standard homes are carpeted as well. Personally the thing I hated most about carpeting were most of them were beige and you have to be so careful not to spill things but I was always renting so.

[@nenawells3916]

Oh my word😲 Your bedroom looks absolutely fantastic. What a difference. I love the fact you added your own special Lily Pebbles touches such as the brass candlestick, the smaller bulbs above the bedside table, the marble slabs on the tables. Ingenious idea for Grey's bottle. Super gallery area. All the accessories including the gorgeous rug are spot on. I love the pink shade on the walls and on the fitted wardrobes. Everything works so well together. Absolutely beautiful Lily❤️

[@troykelly526]

Your room, your style. No explanations needed. Do what makes you comfortable and happy.

[@VerdianaYT]

The end result is amazing, I LOVE LOVE LOVE your room now!

[@sammycarroll2771]

I love the color pallet with the pale rose pink, greens, and black. It turned out awesome but also still functional for your family.

[@Pigletina]

happy to see some love for interior design professionals. they are professionals for a reason. when you see a nice hotel or amazing home in a mag they are that way because they are done by an designer! it's not just choosing cute stuff it's a real skill and art

[@Julianaao2601]

Beautiful room Lily, now that you explained it, I do think the huge grey headboard you had before was so overpowering, the new one, and especially the soft color goes so well with the wall, same with the bedside tables, the glass and brass were just too much. Overall all the changes make your room so so pretty and they do give it the cozy feeling you were aiming for, maybe is the warm colors :) very very nice

[@sharonfennell6785]

The room looks great, I have always coveted your original headboard but it didn’t do anything for your room in its old state and it would make me think twice about buying one like that now. It’s amazing how the bones of the room have stayed the same, colour, wardrobes, bed, carpet but all the other bits have really bought it together. I would be just the same, in that it takes someone to point out ideas to wet your appetite and make re think your choices. It truly looks finished now, so whatever it cost you it was worth it! 👍😀

[@norasvihus]

Live in Norway (typically day in winter is 0 to -15C where I live) and no one has carpet, but agree that rugs do provide more warmth. Cultural differences I guess :)

[@sophieschoices9663]

Nora Svihus & what do you generally have? Wooden floors I suppose? Just out of curiosity! In most places I’ve been/lived carpet is seen as unhygienic & not as “nice” as wooden floors but I understand it’s quite cultural...

[@norasvihus]

@@sophieschoices9663 yes wooden floors, and I think many would agree with that carpet does not seem very hygienic and aesthetic. I live in an old building (1912) on the first floor with the original hard wood floors and gets pretty cold in the winter, so rugs and good heating is important! What I find even stranger is how common carpets are in the US where it is also common to wear shoes inside :O!

[@sophieschoices9663]

@@norasvihus omg I literally saw a post about how americans dont take their shoes off just now just before I saw your message! It was joking about how no one understands how theyre using hand sanitizer and soap like there's no tomorrow (which is obviously necessary right now) but then still walk inside their homes with their shoes on! So crazy...& irresponsible right now..!

[@ukomdesign]

Your bedroom is absolutely gorgeous. I like everything about it. It is so good to work with someone who sees it from a different perspective.

[@ClareElizabeth97]

I can't get over how much better this looks! I thought the before looked great at the time but now seeing the two together your room just looks so incredible now! Ahh I'm happy for you x

[@cibeleporto6370]

It look so much more welcoming!!! Unbelievable difference... who would have thought it was going to look so good?! Well done!!!! 🥰🥰🥰

[@niamhviolet14]

can’t believe how different the paint colour looks!!!! It looks so beautiful! Room goals in every way shape and form! 🥰

[@courtneychaos8995]

Wow it looks great, functional yet classically stylish. You can enjoy this for a long time as it won’t date. You and the interior designer have good taste!

[@sarahharriet3113]

Have been waiting for this video ever since November! The room looks stunning and I completely love how stylish it is, without losing it's functionality. Amazing job, what an exciting video to wake up to on a Sunday morning:)

[@Kkiiissuu]

Nice hair, Lily. And the room looks great now.

[@RosenlundTara]

Make whatever choices you're willing to live with, no need to apologize! I think the after feels loads more inviting

[@naomicarter6261]

It's stunning! I would never have thought of that color combination but it works so well - modern, chic but not boring or too instagram-typical 😍

[@swisslions]

The room looks beautiful. Your color choices and the mix of textures is perfect.

[@EmmiLa]

I absolutely love it! The colours go together so well, the green accents are stunning with the setting plaster! Totally agree with curtains making a huge difference, there's been a massive trend in recent years to not have curtains, but they just bring so much warmth into a space.

[@minibeautyy]

this is so BEAUTIFUL! it looks like a completely different paint colour which is incredibly!

[@lydiacarels7912]

Lóve it and súch a difference! Tips: if the marble stains too much: h&m (or zara) also sell them in dark green! Also: headboards are só easy to make yourself! A wooden plank, upholstery, fabric of choice and a tacker, done! 😘😘

[@marielbetge3406]

Can't believe how different it looks! It looks great 👍🏼

[@natatatt]

The shelving around the TV is really smart. Really makes the TV blend into the area, rather than being a big black thing on a bare wall.

[@EEN63]

I really like all the changes! My favorite tip is to paint the radiators the color of the wall so it sort of disappears and fades into the walls! It makes such a big difference! I also think adding curtains really elevates the room, provides a feeling of warmth and just makes the room look finished! Sorry Rich, but the pillows tie everything together and dress up the biggest piece of furniture in the room! I’m afraid they need to be there! 😉😉😉 Great transformation to a beautiful cozy room where you’ll look forward to spending your time... asleep and awake! Well done!

[@vidhyaasb]

All the little changes have made a huge difference! ❤️

[@MamaTataJaFamily]

Looks lovely, especially with all the vases and accessories. Although I hate dusting and avoid putting out accessories personally. I agree, the curtains make all the difference. Thank you for sharing, will definitely rethink the strategy to decorate my bedroom. 👍

[@GoodandDelicious]

The secret of decor is layers. Curtains on top of shutters or blinds. A throw on top of a duvet. Decor. Lighting even if you have overhead lights. It can be minimal, but something is better than nothing.

[@nikkiponcsak]

Wow, what a difference! I love how all those small-ish things make one huge change! Love the room now and glad you love it, too!

[@phoebematthews6928]

It looks amazing and I've loved seeing the process of transforming the space with total decorating!! X

[@ShadeShannon]

I'm obsessed with that headboard!!! Love it

[@oliviadunderdale9872]

I can't get over how much I loooooove your hair!!!!

[@aimeegization]

I was so excited for this video and it didn’t disappoint! Loved everything about it 🥰 Also carpet totally normal in Ireland too, especially in a bedroom 🌟

[@pshakes1824]

So happy that you said that you need a tv in your bedroom. I need one too!

[@rachyrob1993]

Hate that you have to pre-empt negative comments and justify everything from your decisions to your pronunciations! Love this video. Great to hear what recommendations you went with and what decisions you made based on budget etc. xxxx

[@LomasLifestyle]

Been waiting for this. I have setting plaster in one room, I love that colour. We chose a creamy beigy pink carpet. Was hard to find a carpet to go with. I love what you have done.

[@Jess236]

You are looking absolutely gorgeous at the moment lily. Love the hair and outfit, you look stunning 😍 Bedroom looks brill too, surprising how much it can change it by changing smaller things. X

[@minikorsi]

This room is pure joy!

[@jennaelyse5933]

Gorgeous! Love hearing your tips. I also love all your cozy little nick nacks and I’m curious to hear whether you still find them practical when Grey is a little older. My daughter is almost 3 and I never know how to style surfaces within her reach

[@verosugus]

The room looks stunning! So many tips for the day I have my own house. My fav part is also the middle part in between the wardrobes 😍

[@noorabinamro8799]

That paint color is everything😍!!

[@MDWJS]

Lily, what a great job. The most important thing has been achieved and that is that you and Rich love it and it works for your family.

[@komaltasawwar3619]

Your hair and your bedroom looks sooo nice! Thank you for tthis video and showing us how subtle things makes such a big difference in a space

[@reneerobinson5273]

Love love love the room. Everything just works. Now going to find that big rug.

[@kcmorris4875]

Love the shorter hair, great new style so fresh, really suits you Lily xxxx

[@beamaria4273]

This looks so dreamy!!!! I love the colours!

[@laurenhepp4681]

The room looks great now. Really love it.

[@GoodandDelicious]

Please tell Rich that those Decour pillows work great as something to help prop you up if you ever have a lot of congestion and need to sleep with your head elevated. Lol

[@flofriis5382]

I love this so much. Such clever little changes that make such a difference! Love how you didnt just throw everything at it you tailored it to your life and budget x

[@Frick_79]

It looks really beautiful Lily, it’s crazy how well the colours compliment each other as you maybe wouldn’t necessarily think of putting them together. Love the black handles, they make such a difference and your shelving area is so pretty now! I immediately bought the H&M face vase after seeing it in your haul. Wood and rattan furniture is such a trend just now but I also think the styles won’t really date either, as they are quite classic pieces and nothing too out there. Amazing job, it looks fabulous whilst still being functional and workable for what you need it to be. Ps I want more pillows on the bed but my husband doesn’t want to take them off and put them on either 😆. X

[@conniehill4961]

Looks gorgeous

[@charlottewearden1929]

Sooo beautiful! Also lovely to have some normality in this weird time! Thank you ☺️ xx

[@ankigatoni6967]

It's so nice to enjoy your space and now you obviously do! Your hair is beautiful too! 😊

[@francakunovic2837]

Loved this series so much Lily! Ist was so interesting to see how design decisions were influenced by your real life needs. Also, I loved to hear how you prioritized some things over others due to budget. Great work ❤️

[@maidacrazy21ryan93]

Lily you got this room so right it’s beautiful

[@sarabeasley2480]

It looks beautiful, Lily! I love that you included all her suggestions and the ones you didn't end up going with as well!

[@tamardolev]

Turned out absolutely beautiful, it's amazing what a few small things can do! Thank you for sharing, and well done to both you and Rebecca!

[@victorialecat6480]

It looks so beautiful ! It's amazing how some small changes make all the difference, love the shelves and the art wall ! The new colors also go so well with the paint , wonderful job !

[@fionafrazer8820]

Looks lovely! I agree about carpet - everyone is doing hardwood floors, but the only ones I like are the wide planks that you find in English country houses. I don't care for any of the new engineered flooring. I have rugs over my carpets and I love the look. I think a lot of people think carpet is unhygienic, at least that's the argument I've heard.

[@laurarusk5977]

Wow!! This makes me want to hire someone to do up my house!! The room is fabulous!

[@ratedpeople]

So well done! You've chosen some great colours, we absolutely love the layout and wardrobes you've added 😍

[@Sequ1401]

Gorgeous! Love your aesthetic and it's lovely to see people embrace colour!

[@LauraManx11]

I really enjoyed this video and learnt a lot too. The room is gorgeous! I'm so glad you're happy with it

[@allourbeauty]

Loved this video, Lily! The room looks amazing! I’ve been keeping up with your home renovation and showing things to my boyfriend - he loves it all! So happy for you that your bedroom is now the space you want!

[@martynlejeune5191]

I love the finished result. Stunning 😃

[@martep1816]

So fascinating to see that some smaller changes made such a big difference to your room😊 looks really good❤️

[@kamciah]

Does anyone happen to know what sweater Lily is wearing here? I am absolutely IN LOVE with it!

[@mariamdiaa8630]

Wow! The room turned out fantastic, great job

[@peace4ever786]

I ABSOLUTELY love this room now - looks so chic and gorgeous! Thankyou for sharing and inspiring x

[@peonypeony7278]

Just lovely and so glad it is working for your sweet trio!

[@lauren123mckenna]

So beautiful ❤️ Can I just ask the size of the flat sheet/throw at the end of your bed? Unsure what size to go for with a super-king bed. Love this idea 🥰

[@susanneflora3133]

The curtains made a huge difference! 😍⭐️

[@lindadoyle7582]

Well done, great job. Looks like a real sanctuary as your bedroom should be x

[@Andiau]

Beautiful! You’ve done a wonderful job and it’s given me lots of ideas and things to think about for my own room.

[@MiraNemcik]

love how your personality comes through in this room despite being helped by a professional - credit to both you and Rebecca of course. I really appreciate you sharing the thought process behind the decisions you've made for all the changes - even for those you decided not to go for because of your budget or simply because you didn't think those changes necessary. I imagine it must have been quite tricky to navigate but what a beautiful bedroom you ended up with! loved this video so so much ❤️

[@noelledujour9241]

This is amazing!! Love all the choices, especially the shelves above the tv. Giving me inspiration to make some changes around my house! Well done!

[@traceymarshall5886]

I mentioned the pink...i love pink with rose gold but i wouldnt put pink and brass or black together..but with rose gold i would put together.

[@amykem79]

Wow what a beautiful transformation!! Looks lovely and cozy .. I love that you’re so practical and keep it real ❤️

[@perlestaomosowofa4363]

I love your bedroom! Colors are so hard to get right because of all Of the undertones. I find grey to be really hard for that reason.

[@TinaknightsBlogspot]

I made my husband watch this with me. We are just about to move house and have lots of design decisions to make! Found this so useful... definitely sparked some ideas 😆

[@vrables1]

Love love love it!

[@ashleigh1059]

It looks lovely! I liked it before but I LOVE it now!! Thanks for sharing this process with us, xx.

[@Beth16495]

THIS PINK PAINT IS EVERYTHING! Could you tell us what paint this is

[@sharonm5995]

Beth16495 it’s Farrow & Ball ‘Setting Plaster’.

[@traceymarshall5886]

Its nice that you are happy with it. Im not a fan of the pink....im all for wood or white. Im only catching on to the way your room was. I liked the grey headboard etc. Im still back in 2000 decor. My bedroom was done up in 2012 and its all beech ikea wood furniture. White duvet etc with a dark plum bed throw. I love whites, greys, purples, silver. My bedroom in france had alot of dark wood and lime green :)
