[@HeyyBrey]

That pink wall is SO chic!! I love this transformation!

[@ThriftDiving]

Thank you!!

[@Lizzy43645]

That shade of pink is GORGEOUS!!!

[@tinyjunglejoy2706]

That’s a great shade

[@marilynkozlow8400]

That couch is to die for. You are a woman surrounded by men in your house, I would paint my walls pink too. Just to let them know who’s boss, lol

[@Danny-be1ex]

Right?! I’m looking at my couch like hmm 👀 I’ve always wanted a pink house but thankfully my fiancé is into it lol

[@maryohare4141]

Iwanted to pass on a "tip"....I bought an older home and had some "crack gaps" from previous floor repair. The carpenter I hired, mixed clear wood glue with wood sawdust and "filled in gaps...it looks great!

[@marvan775]

omg yes...please do the video about the outlets!!!!

[@ThriftDiving]

Will do, Marva!!!

[@mylynnj3792]

The makeover was great, it really did brighten up the room. Please do a tutorial on changing out electrical receptacles!

[@WingsInc]

[@doubleu1017]

I would love a tutorial on changing out outlets!

[@ThriftDiving]

[@evamz9584]

@@anjelykuharyzoula5902 same🙈

[@denaboyd8058]

I’d love that too!

[@Lynker]

Serena, everything came out beautiful! I LOVE the pink accents!!! I'd love to see a tutorial on the electrical for the outlets!

[@easternwashingtonresident3814]

It looks like a blush color. Looks great!

[@ThriftDiving]

Yessss! It'sy new favorite color! :)

[@maryohare4141]

My whole house needs receptacles changed out, so PLEASE due a tutorial😊

[@ms.murksalot]

To piggy back on this comment can your tutorial go over light switches too?

[@charmingchonka5937]

I wash my walls as well. Prep is KEY to a good job.

[@-Maria-]

Love the pink wall and the turquoise door.

[@ThriftDiving]

Thank you, Maria! :)

[@QueenCityHistory]

I LOVE the accent wall. Pink is such an underrated color. With gray as the current trend, pink is an excellent combination choice! ×well done!!!!

[@kennethmaese4622]

The transformation is literally night and day. I’m loving the accent wall, it’s a perfect shade of pink, like you said it’s not all in your face but gives the room character. Well done.

[@quicksilvertears921]

I love the paint color choices. The room looks so bright.

[@amandafreebrey9192]

I love the pink accent wall, it looks so fresh and inviting

[@ThriftDiving]

Two videos in one day?!?! What in the world???? LOL

[@Gertrude-Intrudes]

Got super excited when I saw the thumbnail ❤️❤️❤️

[@soffyabad]

Great!!! That is your energy girl. I love the pink with grey. I believe you make your color desicions based on: there are more males in my home. But like so much that pink, its a flat paint , or sanit paint? Looks great, alsó to clean tools make us save much money toó. Good job Serena!!🌈💞😊🤗 Oh please teach all you can dear Serena😊🤗🌟🌈

[@LGnLA]

Hi, can you also do a video on the "carpenter school/program" you mentioned? Length, cost, what made you take the classes, etc...😊

[@tinekejoldersma]

Love how it became. The pink is gorgeous. Well done Serena.

[@steemdup]

The room looks so sunny and cheery now! I was also skeptical about the abalone shell accent wall, but it works so well with everything else. Btw, I hope you will keep a bright color on the door - even if it's no longer turquoise.

[@rosannecuttitta1377]

Yes please. Learning how to change receptacles would be a big help.

[@sandrastaton19]

I love the furniture and the pink wall. It's amazing how much brighter your room is now. We have to listen to our own voice, and that's what you did. Awesome makeover!

[@kopperlanimalrescue3046]

Love the pink wall and I’m not a girly girl. But it brightened up the room a lot.

[@Zabigdog]

Oooh the space is yummy. I rewound and watched the pink wall parts a couple times because it's so fresh and delicate. Not silly at all! Really sophisticated in a living area. The pillows really sing out with it too.

[@Danny-be1ex]

Lots of people think pink is childish but it’s just a color. I think it’s a beautiful color personally, it’s my favorite :)

[@higdon100]

Yes, please! I need a video quick. I'm in the middle of home reno and have several outlets that need to be changed. Hubby doesn't care very much so I'm just going to learn to do myself, thanks in advance!!

[@caliv0608]

You're like me, lol. No one would guess to look at me, but I adore those little pops of bright, happy colors around my house. How can you not be happy with colors like that around?! The room looks gorgeous!

[@marydenney8249]

Yes, I want an electric video. And, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the pink in the room! Love your videos

[@MamaChartman]

Love the pink. It’s bright and cheerful.

[@laurenmellema1815]

The pink is delightful! Such a clean looking refresh! Love!!

[@sassyspoiled]

Love it. The whole room is brighter and lighter. The pink wall is the perfect balance of visual interest without being overpowering.

[@shanaproctor100]

I think the pink is beautiful. You deserve a pink wall with everything you do for your family. :)

[@sheliahtubbs415]

THE PINK WALL IS BEAUTIFUL! Love your transformation🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@dn8387]

Great job, Serena! Always go with colors that make you happy. Doing all that work should end with a result that makes you smile and brings joy. While others can certainly have input you need to trust your great vision and style so many of us tune in to see.

[@astraeaelune6668]

I love the pink! It reminds me of Spring. Very subtle.

[@beehappy7897]

The room looks great. I’m a fan of the teal door next to that beautiful pink.

[@WhoDeanyUnchained]

I was so nervous about the pink 😳 But it turned out well ☺

[@valeriestewart1578]

When you said "PINK" I was like.....this woman is crazy!! But OMG.....I so LOVE this soft pink!!! Your makeover cane out AMAZING!!!

[@heidisettles7328]

Yes please, do an outlet replacement video! This refresh is so much brighter, and the former yellow undertone was making it dingy feeling. Great job on flooring fix. I paint A LOT and think the wagner tool would be too much clean up work, but I could see it saving time on a big job. Add a gray and turquoise pillow on the sofa to tie it together. Love your videos!

[@mylouisianahome9751]

It looks great! Love that pink wall. I refreshed our 26 year old house 4 years ago and I’m so happy I did.

[@Frosting1000]

I love the transformation! The new color scheme really made the place so much brighter!

[@JessicaSmith-gd1fu]

Lovely! On my screen the new paint looks like a very pale gray. I am so proud of you for not being cowed by the opinions of others and painting a wall just for you.

[@ThriftDiving]

Yessss, Jessica! I would say it does look like a pale gray, but also has some lavender undertone that you can't see until it's next to bright white. And that's right--go for the colors YOU want and not what someone tells you to do! :) No one liked my pink accent wall. But I just love the feeling of it! :) Thank you!!!

[@ambrosia417]

The paint vacuum is a genius hack! I wish I had that tool when painting a 16' x 9' wall for the first time last month! Yes please for a wall socket receptacle tutorial!

[@denisesevera9490]

I love the pink! The room looks a lot happier now.

[@lolaottinger6976]

Pink looks beautiful. I once painted an accent wall Whataburger Orange, if you aren’t familiar with that shade of Orange, it’s about the color of the orange dot with my initial in it at the start of my comment. It was a huge mistake, although it was the exact color of some of my paisley sofa fabric. I eventually painted over it a few months later, and I painted it black! Yes, black! And it worked, and here is why, that wall was pretty heavily textured, so after I painted it and then had floor to ceiling and wall to wall bookcases made, the black made the wall look like slate. It was truly beautiful.

[@jess990]

Love the pink accent wall. 💕 Couch looks very beautiful and comfortable.

[@laurasell2353]

It all looks beautiful! The pink is just right!

[@bonniemartysmom865]

Loved the pink! My mom always painted their living room a beige that had pink in it. Everyone loved the color. A touch of pink just works!

[@ThriftDiving]

Abalone = ABALONEEEE. Sorry, guys. :)

[@therealJamieJoy]

will you please share the brand of paint? I love that pink so much

[@cookysmith5215]

Desk would look beautiful against the lovely accent wall. Such a beautiful soft pink, the color of love!

[@denaboyd8058]

I love the pink wall! The room looks so bright! I love everything!

[@ktcat8500]

Love the color combination! The door blue along with the lamp shade and maybe one there splash of that color would be lovely. You make me feel braver with home projects.

[@joleneplourde9885]

I love the pink! The room is brighter and cozy! Well done!❤️

[@ajordan26able]

Love the pink, gives the room warmth. Yes, please do a tutorial on replacing loose electrical sockets. Thank you.

[@kathymyers1023]

Beautiful. Since you're so outnumbered, I think you should have that pink. Ha! Now I gotta go find your video on painting the fireplace!

[@Amber0220]

I think it turned out fabulous. Love the light pink wall.

[@cindyparker4548]

A tutorial changing out the electrical outlets would be awesome! Thank you 🙂🌷.

[@musiktouches]

Yay on you for doing what YOU wanted in YOUR home! That pink walk is popping. Love the makeover and you've given me some ideas especially since painting can be easier 🤗. Enjoy.

[@seantango2754]

The pink was a perfect shade. Good choice.

[@janicesnapp2850]

Great transformation! LOVE the subtle pink wall & accent pillows! Your floor lamp goes perfectly! Lovely wall paint color too. Can’t wait till you get ALL the details finished! Your almost done!

[@gaylemcgee2221]

That room looks wonderful! It could use a couple of patterned pillows for a little character and or texture like that lamp shade! You go girl!

[@cynthiark6783]

Beautiful job, bright and crisp, love, love.

[@Ho11is2Ho11ywood]

It's very light and bright! I would do a matte gray door to contrast the pink with matte black or copper hardware.

[@novanorman1091]

Lovely transformation! Enjoy your new room! The pink actually looks great!

[@cat3crazy]

Love the pink wall and the pillows! Not too much, it's just enough.

[@karmacounselor]

Beautiful job! Great tutorial. May I suggest: Your two black chairs could face each other with with a small table in between. It is very common in Turkish design and often they will have tea at a setting like that.

[@whirligig5006]

My sitting room is grey and pink and it’s lovely and fresh looking. xx

[@ariancera4138]

My friday just got better! Loved it.

[@ThriftDiving]

Awww, thank you, Arian!

[@barbibrewerhaase6571]

Love the pink accent pillows on the new sectional, and the pink wall is perfect! ❤️

[@ThriftDiving]

Thank you! Those were the only ones I could find that would match. IKEA, only $7 each! :)

[@rebeccavinyard2899]

It’s a pretty pink! You can add some artwork that’s not too girly to put on the wall and it will tone it down just a bit. 😉

[@vickiehadd4324]

The pink looks GREAT!!

[@lahwhoseher]

I love your pink wall! Everything looks bright and homey. 🙂

[@carmencho8308]

A couple of green plants and that pink will be the back drop for a stunning room! Nice changes! I used City Loft upstairs in a bedroom and two baths-it is a great shade.

[@tinasoblessed6350]

Everything look absolutely amazing, so fresh,and inviting! I always had off-white furniture inmylivingroom, when my children were young, I never had dirty problems !🙏🏽👍🏼👍🏼

[@kemartini]

I love the results, it brightened up the space a lot!

[@marylisageorge8739]

I love the soft pink. My living dining and bathroom area soft pink and I love it.

[@kathylezcano8793]

I love that pink accent wall that is so beautiful and I love that sectional you did a great job I am so impressed I would never think That pink would look so good in a living room I love the colors you did an awesome job on your Decour and paint you go girl

[@Pinnuluciccialamucca]

You are an inspiration! Love your energy ..... and your voice!

[@chubberb8676]

It looks great! The pink color is so subtle.

[@kathrynkneeland7179]

Your room turned out beautifully. I enjoy watching your skills.

[@spikeghost666]

i love the pink you chose. reminds me of a more muted version of the pink in the house my parents bought in the 1980's. It feels 80's but updated to today's sensibilities.

[@alexandragomez2179]

Gorgeous! I’m not usually a pink fan but that is wonderful!

[@SaraSmile70]

The pink was beautiful!😍

[@softfishy]

I just painted my livingroom light purple a few months ago. It was pink previously. Feels like a brand new room after a fresh paint job.

[@ThriftDiving]

I bet that looks amazing! Those soft colors are so yummy.

[@charlye6380]

I love the pink shade, the room looks so fresh and airy. Love how handy u are to fix your flooring.

[@myrnaipazos8778]

The pink wall is so delicate I love it . A nice console table would look really nice on that wall so when you walk in you can leave your keys and phones on it

[@shonelllewis2019]

I love a good blush pink! The room turned out so good!

[@gemmarich2354]

Hi Serena! I love the colours! Looks amazing and so bright now! Hope you’re keeping well. Gemma

[@kcthom2815]

I love your pink accent wall. It looks lovely with your new sofa.

[@moneymakingmikeg.9555]

Yeah Boyee Serena drops a "2fer" today!! Nicely done Kid!! Looks like the induction tube on the roller might brush up against the wall a bit right?? Oh & Mad RESPECT on patching the hard wood floors!! You're brave Homie!! Excited to see the coffee table & Dirty Jersey out!!

[@ThriftDiving]

I guess the tube does, but I didn't find it to be a problem. I thought it would get more in the way, but it seemed fine! And omg....those floors, Mike. They've been sitting there all buckled for a few years, and hubby seemed to think he could just bang them back into place. I'm like, "NOOO" because the boards were warped. And I literally had forgotten that the previous homeowners left a sweet little stash of replacement pieces. Whew! Was like Christmas Day when I found them. HAHA

[@donnajanecastle4807]

Love the pink! Everything came out gorgeous!!

[@MissLady-pq4hc]

I hope people know what a real treasure you are. More people finish projects after watching one of these videos. Take care . As always, Thanks.🙂🙂🙂🌟🌟🌟💙🐰

[@ThriftDiving]

Oh my goodness, that is the best compliment I could ever receive! That is EXACTLY my goal, is to inspire someone else to go and finish a project! Because there is nothing more rewarding than starting and finishing a project that makes your home feel good! :) Thank you for saying this and for inspiring me to keep doing it.

[@outinarizona]

I love the new makeover! that turned out nice! the pink is light enough, seashell-style, as to not be in your face. The turquoise door will fit after touchup.

[@ThriftDiving]

Thank you, Nina!!!

[@eileenalholinna5310]

You are so amazing, Serena! I love 💕 the pink pillows!

[@rallydv]

Yes please... a tutorial on replacing receptacles, ceiling lights and fire/carbon monoxide alarms?!!? Thank you!!!

[@amandaa5104]

I love your living room ....it's beautiful....look's nice and cosy.

[@cw6744]

Love the transformation. The sofa is beautiful❤️. You do excellent work. Thanks for sharing.

[@lc-bb6bd]

Great job. I love the pink wall. Everything came together so pretty

[@andreawalker7138]

The room looks so bright and happy now. And I love the accent wall! It's not an in-your-face pink but it has just enough color to brighten the area.

[@craftingwithangie2021]

Hi Serena! It has been a while since I have watched you tube because I had been caring for my 90 year old mother. She died last month on Feb 14th so it has been a sad time for my family. I started doing some changes to different parts of my home because before my mother died, last year when we were in quarantine, my mother, my brother Richard and i changed some things around her house and that was my inspiration. I love the accent wall that you did and the room so far is beautiful my friend. :)
