That peacock fireplace screen is a god damn VIBE! What a find

[@LaughCryDIY]

OMG, we got it from a *straight* man who said it was his grandmother’s and had been sitting in the garage for 50 years. He had NO IDEA what a gem he had, and I wasn’t about to tell him. 🤫

[@lizmarin9568]

Oh wow! Lucky it didn't get ruined in all that time!!

I found myself smiling through your whole video! Love to start my Saturday watching your projects. Gorgeous wallpaper and fun mix of patterns. Your Fame-ish friends are so much fun.

[@LaughCryDIY]

Aw, that makes my day to hear. (Seriously, I love when episodes feel like friend hangs.) It’s a lot of work, but I have the best helpers.

[@KarMa-ws3ll]

its such a big difference! You make me want to put a jungle wallpaper in my greige living room, too. If it would have been available here, I would have bought it (and live from Ramen the rest of the year), but I might find something which emulates the wallpaper.

[@LaughCryDIY]

I hope you can! Death to greige! Unless it makes you happy. Please don’t tell the Big Neutral industry to come after me.

[@christinefrier7888]

TGISWKAF! (Thank God It's Saturday With Katy And Friends ) Yah, that's a thing. Your awesomeness is unparalleled.

[@LaughCryDIY]

Ok, adding that to a Tshirt in the merch queue. 😂

[@goldiloks08]

This whole video is adorable. I’m obsessed with Dikembe. Mary Lynn, you are amazing and I cannot wait to listen to your book (just bought it on audible). I had no idea rugs under a dining room table was rich person thing! I thought that’s just how that works 😂 y’all over here making me feel accidentally bougie.

[@LaughCryDIY]

Wow, we got a rich queen in the house, people! Thanks for supporting the channel and Mary Lynn. Dikembe is literally the most stunning cat in real life. Since he’s a Savannah, he has a very real presence. Like sometimes you just feel him behind you, staring. Haha.

[@goldiloks08]

@@LaughCryDIY that sounds adorably terrifying.

[@LaughCryDIY]

@@goldiloks08 exactly what it feels like 😂

[@stephaniebrindis7299]

Velvet is awesome for cats. For the future, they hate it because they can’t pull up the fabric. The pulling of fabric makes them love it like a twill scratching post. My cat hates scratching at my velvet couch but loved my woven linen one. Anyway, this is such a great episode!

[@LaughCryDIY]

Yes! It’s so good! Tbh, it was more because he likes to mark things 😬 She’d had to get rid of pieces before because they just couldn’t get the smell out. Since he’s a Savannah cat, I swear his scent is more, um, wild. Haha. I hope your kitty is good!

[@stephaniebrindis7299]

Love your Humor, your designs, great helpers and funny guests. 😄 I also appreciate how thought out your projects are especially for pet owners, renters, etc.

Thank you! People get mad about me using fake plants sometimes, but we have busy people and crazy pets around! It’s all about what works for people.

I love waking up on Saturday and watching you do a makeover.

[@LaughCryDIY]

Aw yay! I love hearing that. It’s a Saturday hang. ❤️

[@Catelaaa]

omg this room is everything! i have a super similar room and it has been missing something and that Dikembé inspired rug is my solution. Mary Lynn i want you to know i watched Dude Where’s my Car like over and over as a teen and think it deserved a place on the list 😂 Proud of you girl! Designer to the stars! ❤😂🎉

[@LaughCryDIY]

❤️✨❤️✨

[@Julierue]

Saturday!!!!! Yayyyy! I love the fireplace grate. What a find! And, I’m pretty sure Dikembe was saying “B, you best be glad this rug is fake, ‘cause this looks like cousin Jean….”

[@LaughCryDIY]

😂 Dikembe is a whole vibe. And yes! That fireplace screen might be one of my top FB marketplace finds of all time

[@pman2916]

Absolutely stunning!!

I really liked this makeover! So pretty and lush! I got the biggest kick out of Mary Lynn’s dog and cat! Scene stealers for sure! Hilarious!

[@LaughCryDIY]

They are absolute scene-stealers. And so many moments I didn’t capture. 😂

[@pixiemcq9621]

Love it Katy! It’s so ‘Regal yet Cosy’ 😅 I love that wallpaper so much, too expensive for us poors though 😂 You & Kristel are great together. You should both do a TV show with Mary Lynn 😮 Would’ve loved to see the fireplace painted black. Great video 🥰

[@LaughCryDIY]

Love all these ideas. I hope we can have Mary Lynn back sometime. She’s the best.

[@aislinntheterrible]

I have Fame-ish on hold from my library - can't wait to pick it up! I heard both you ladies on Lady2Lady and what a delight) to see you together. Dikembe is a real scene-stealer! Of course the rug had to be inspired by his glamorous coat.

[@LaughCryDIY]

Awesome! We love Lady2Lady. Thanks for watching this adventure.

[@lizmarin9568]

That wallpaper though! Le sigh!!! 😍😍😍

The makeover was great! Looks so good. I wasn't sure about the wallpaper, liked the finished look. Just the right amount of color. Dikembe is such a beautiful cat! Her dog cracked me up, could care less! I love your videos, so inspiring and make me want to makeover every room.

[@LaughCryDIY]

Every room I do makes me want to makeover my house too! Haha. I should have done an episode of only the animals.

Part 2! This is so cool😎 and to think the makeovers came about after your Debra Digiovanni makeover vid. You have come full scale, Katy 🎉 That wallpaper is my absolute fav. The brass/gold peacock 🦚 fireplace cover is the best find😍 Exceptional job to you and your team! Hey Kristal😘 I believe that was Mike doing more heavy lifting 💪 And it wouldn't be possible with out Mary Lynn Rajskub 🤩

[@LaughCryDIY]

Yessss! I used it in another makeover too. I love it so much.

[@michellepereira2328]

Hi that was a very good makeover. That paper makes such a great statement as well as the carpet. I think the fireplace might look interesting with a paint technique to give it some age.

[@LaughCryDIY]

That’s a great point. I think this is the last makeover with that wallpaper print for a while, but I guess never say never. Haha.

I absolutely ❤️ this makeover ^5

Me too. One of my faves of all time.

[@jadestone8552]

Fantastic awesome makeover Katie!!! That room was such a plain Jane now it is a Marilyn Manroe!!! Thanks for the ideas and inspiration.

[@LaughCryDIY]

I’m afraid it has triggered a cheetah print addiction that may be prevalent in more upcoming videos.

[@tngirlz4622]

OMG, tell the truth, are YOU responsible for bringing cheetah back? It’s apparently very ‘in’ this year. (According to various fashion experts on….you guessed it, KZbin!😂) Awesome makeover, thank you for the cat porn! If you’d just had Djembe(sp?) shots and that’s it, I’d still have liked the vid.😁

[@janinemcmahon218]

Love it! Suggestion, scuff sand the table top and pick up on the coral of the wall paper. Maybe go a little darker. Chalk paint, maybe a slight decoration around the edge. Maybe teach your client to stencil? Could be hilarious. Or hand paint some gold swirls around the edge

[@janinemcmahon218]

Or dark green table top

[@LaughCryDIY]

Teaching her to stencil would be great 😂

that is beautiful... one curious question... what's the picket fence thing along the stairs? Maybe there is a functional purpose for it but it detracts from the beautiful space you've created.

[@LaughCryDIY]

Yep. She’s gonna have dry walled in eventually. It’s just keeping a private space for the cat that the dog can’t get into. Just the realities of everyday life in real homes, ya know. I would have taken it down for the final shot, but it had been well zip tied and didn’t want to make her redo it.
