[@savannahdwyer]

You are so talented. Love your creativity & resourcefulness. 💕

[@denises9426]

Your parent’s dining room will always be my favorite. ❤ But this is STUNNING as always. 🥰❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@SobyitiyaNYC]

What a gorgeous makeover! Very cozy! But I would leave a wider lampshade - it looks more stylish as for me

[@clc1302]

Absolutely gorgeous! I love the mood you’ve created here. Pushing three consoles together to make the size you needed without spending a fortune is genius! Love all of your videos!

[@sherryidibo2304]

I think this is one of the most favourite design you created so far. Very cozy yet classic but more feels home ..gives the sense of wormth. Mesmerizing Kristen.🎉👏👏

[@KristenMcGowan]

I’m so glad you think so!!! Thank you❤️❤️❤️

[@MsCline35]

That is definitely my kind of vibes ! Very inspiring as i am about to do a makeover of my bedroom with this colour !! Love it ❤

[@Saanvi2013behera]

[@leeannhadgis5985]

Wow! I dont frequently comment, but this makeover is a show stopper. Absolutely gorgeous and inspiring.

[@Rotiikismis]

I love how the wooden table warmly match the ceiling

[@jennaschmidt1484]

Kristen it is actually insane how you put a room together so well 😍😍😩 it looks amazingggg

[@NYLor00]

She makes it looks so easy and attainable but it’s her talent that makes it so very beautiful. Awesome all around!

[@chasitymichelle1000]

This is ME!!!! Thank you Jesus for bringing this to me!!! I need you more than ever!

[@JoseTeodorodeJesusGonzalezMend]

I was blown away by the transformation of the family room. The moody academia design brought a sense of sophistication and coziness to the space, and the DIY aspect made it all the more impressive. The attention to detail and creativity showcased in this makeover is truly inspiring.

[@AnitRadiatorUK]

right👍

[@moussabby]

What a gorgeous makeover! The room is so serene, restful and cosy! You always knock it out of the park, Kristen!

[@jillt.3195]

This is my favorite makeover and I love all of your makeovers! I love how you explain what and why you choose certain elements and then how to implement them. You make me feel like I can do these changes as well. Thank you for sharing this room with us!

[@MinaKay84]

I loved loved loved your bar. I'm so happy to see that you are matching the rest of the room with it! I love that you guys have a room that is completely different and dramatic than the other rooms, but it is still very cohesive. I love moody, serene, cozy spaces. Beautiful! Thank you again Kristen! 💓

[@KristenMcGowan]

Yes!! Exactly!!! You totally see it! Thank you❤️❤️❤️

[@CharityCox-u5o]

Girl! Who can choose a favorite??? You knocked it OUT OF THE PARK!

[@Jennifer_Lewis_Beach_Living]

I always loved the look of using moulding on the walls to do “frames”. It gives the room an elegant, high-end look.

[@doudou53d44]

This is defenitly a wow room !! I love the bold color you used which makes the room really cosy and not dark at all ! Great job !👍😎🐕‍🦺

[@MelDaw01]

I don't know what it is but there is something so calming about your videos that I love. I very rarely watch videos that don't meet my taste, but yours are something very special. The atmosphere in this room makeover is simply breathtaking!

[@barbarasylva929]

This room came out so esthetically pleasing. Great job!

[@SM-yd8hq]

This is fabulous. The three cabinets is genius to hide all that mess and they look so stylish. This is the colour I've just painted my study, and it's so peaceful, everyone comes in. Now I need a swivel chair.

[@prajaktamitra2023]

Can someone provide a link to the sideboards? Tried looking for these didn’t find them. Thanks in advance

[@iyunoluolawuyi]

I can't wait recreate this in my apartment living room. It is awesome because when I first saw this I was a home owner, then homeless but now I'm getting my own place and this will be awesome to help with my healing... Love you Kristen!

[@JeanineAmapola]

LOOKS SO GOOD

[@lornag2227]

Kristen, your makeover in your family room turned out absolutely fabulous. I love the wall color. It really made the room warm and cozy and cohesive. And you're thrifting items are awesome. Can't wait for the next video!❤

[@MichelleQuintiaVLOGS]

For someone who’s about to build her dream home, everything that i want my contractor and husband to know is in this video and i love it! 😍 From the picture frame mouldings, area rug, the battery operated bulbs, shades and the books! Wow! 😍 So this is what kept you busy? Cuz I’ve been waiting for a new upload for a while! 🥰🥰🥰🏡 I really really love this channel! 🩷💞🩷

[@ruthgard8390]

Very very impressive!

[@deirdregahansuttle5698]

Beautiful. IRELAND

[@paulopereira-d6g]

Absolutely beautiful dark and moody color with all the details and moldings in the same shade really gave this room a sophisticated ambiance.

[@2cmrinhfx]

One of my favorite videos of yours! I loved that you walked us through the prep and decision dilemmas. As someone who loves to redecorate, I find myself questioning everything & every step- when designers always seem to "just know" and "get it right". The way you shared your thinking and planning was so very helpful. I LOVE the finished project- thinking a rec room should be allowed to have its own color and coziness away from the neutrals of other spaces.

[@gailcooper5646]

Positively beautiful! The family room is so incredibly welcoming that I don't think anyone would be willing to leave. Simply perfect!

[@sarabates2046]

First time watcher and I love what you do. You made this room look rich and earthy. Looking forward to seeing more of your channel.

[@philipppiier17]

Divine!!! The way you contrast the colors both cool and warm , lighting cozy and neutrals so classic and timeless LOVE LoVe!!!! hired

[@janetpage246]

Yes, it does look like the room has always looked like this. Top job, Kristen. I was able to listen to your video without feeling like I wanted it to end! It looks so homely and comfortable. I loved how you explained what you were doing. Also, the speed with which you talk is just right, and it is clear. Honestly, Kristen, if you were living in Oz I'd hire you to help me out. Thank you for your easy listening tutorial. I will check out the others you have posted.

[@Adele1024]

This room is absolutely beautiful! I love the walls, the paint color, the built-in’s, the tv console hack, just wonderful!

[@karenryancrawford6401]

The color is absolutely fantastic in your room! The decorations on your built ins are so nice! That is the sort of thing I did with my shelves. I never lay my boos down but it looks awesome. I am a thrifter too and look hard you find some phenomenal pieces. Vases and artificial flowers and small art pieces finish it off! Love it. Thanks for sharing!

[@chatsagain]

Thank you for taking the time to link the tools, furniture, and other items from your makeover. Your room looks great

[@jayashrishobna]

Beautiful. Love that you still had to "plan" things by seeing them - the position of the picture moulding, the 3 options for art and 2 options for the rug. I always feel so much pressure to just "imagine it" and get it right the first time as I design my own home, so it's nice to know there's a little trial and error involved. Probably the only thing I would have done differently is upholster the swivel chair in a bold fabric (with strong black lines maybe). It does look a little matchy with the sofa.

[@loribragg2947]

This was a great transformation! My favorite part was the closet turned into a functioning work area with storage. I also enjoyed watching how you created the raised wall panels. I think tv dens should be cozy and have deeper wall colors. Great job, and looking forward to more videos! 😊

[@abigailespinoza9245]

You make combining wood tones so seamless!!! Im always so impressed!

[@vick9895]

OMG, this is room is the exact definition of perfection! I`ve been wanting to paint my living room walls with this kind of color and you just made up my mind. Also, I just found out they sell Benjamin Moore in Spain so I can get the same color! If I lived in your house, this room would be no doubt my favorite one. It looks so incredibly cozy yet elegant, bright but still kind of moody, and overall sooo beautiful! I think this is your best design yet!!!

[@mayarivera6892]

This transformation is insane, I got chills watching the reveal. You are so talented and inspiring!!!!

[@venicefrancis6479]

Omg you are so creative. 😍

[@hidayahhadi6779]

The tv cabinet is genius!!! I really love it! Thank you!

[@cheekyllamacreations]

So stunning, Kristen. I love everything about it. The paint colour and the mouldings are especially gorgeous! 👌🏼

[@a.scottiedog2093]

Kristen, your room looks so good! What an improvement. Love the color and love how you styled the bookcases. Very homey! 💕

[@swest5148]

Omg, you've really outdone yourself with this room. Stunning and so warm, cozy, and inviting. I need to borrow you to come decorate the spaces in my house

[@melaniegriswold1581]

Love how the room is warm and inviting. Like you said, it looks like it's been there forever.

[@MarleyGimenez-cu7gn]

You're making the world a better place with your videos. Keep it up!

[@mirabella9487]

The room looks amazing. Well done Kristen!

[@mdsalauddintony1620]

So inspiring! The moody, cozy aesthetic was executed flawlessly and the creative use of colors and textures was truly impressive. I can't wait to incorporate some of these ideas into my own home!

[@KC-bz7eb]

Praying that the house I found will go through. So I can put all the great lessons from your KZbin to work in my first home. 😂

[@Stella7d]

This is stunning! With so many influencers doing the all white, floor to ceiling rooms, it is beautiful to see rich color again!! This room is cozy, inviting and timeless.

[@s.z.6200]

I love that paint color and it looks fabulous with molding. The color of the coffee table goes so well with the wall color

[@fatiskitchen6727]

Self adhesive cord wrapping stickers for appliances would work wonders inside the cabinets as well Hope that helps Love love love the flow of this room Elegant and functional on a budget. 🎊 ❤

[@michaelg6828]

The most beneficial part of this video for me is hearing your design thought processes, that is, WHY you do things.

[@deborahbrayley]

Are you kidding me ?????????????? This is so refreshing and the way you added the components made it so warm ! Love it.

[@irenetovar7756]

My favorite is the paint color and the picture framing on the walls. I also love the furniture, art pieces, wall sconces, everything.

[@umaa1391]

Oh, Kristen! It's stunning! I love the colour, cool and cosy. You could read a book, have a conversation or watch movies. That swivel chair is my favourite. I'm amazed at the way you pick the wall colours that work well with the decors. You are so good! ❤

[@lilianacuk5440]

It’s absolutely stunning. What a transformation.

[@cynthiag3065]

AWESOME!!! I love the trim on the walls and putting together 3 cabinets to create one extra large piece of furniture. Thank you for sharing.

[@user-oz7nw9sq7y]

COZY! elegant and yet casual too! LOVE It!!! Definitely the paint color and trim are my favorite.

[@CareersbyJenn]

I am binge watching your channel having just found it yesterday, and THIS...well this is amazing. I adore the colours, the warmth, the cozy vibes...you gave life to a very stark room and I would be in there all the time if this was my house. Thanks so much for sharing your talent with us!

[@bajiron]

My favorite is the Tv storage unit. I believe I will have to do it for my room. Thank you!

[@jananthony7308]

Beautiful beautiful beautiful I love so many things about this room its gorgeous

[@angelalabauve9131]

Love this makeover. Thanks for sharing your vision for this room. Looks very high end!!!

[@Floverobeach]

Outstanding! All of it was beautiful!

[@cathywilliams8775]

Nailed it.!!!!!! Painted it.!!!! Styled it!!! !!!!! WOW. LOVE IT

[@lavadamorrison4569]

Love the color and the molding. The molding just makes it look sophisticated.

[@christinemarie007]

I love everything! You are an extremely talented decorator. You create very stylish space without breaking the bank. You know how to display everything together to make it look ...wow

[@smaloneytuba85]

Oh my god I love it! When you finally showed the reveal shot it actually made me gasp AND brought a tear to my eye. Absolutely stunning work!

[@ziyaadaj]

WOW! I'm blown away with how stunning this room turned out to be. When you say it reminds you of a room in a castle, that is definitely spot on. Great job Kristen.

[@JD-nw1jl]

the sofa change is amazing. changed alot with regards to the room. It doesn't look small now. feels just right!

[@thepatriotess4279]

Gorgeous. Favorite part, hard to choose. I’d say the monochromatic color on walls, the added trim, and built ins. Just beautiful.

[@gardenjoy5223]

WOW! You just added 50,000 DOLLAR value to the house! INCREDIBLE MAKEOVER !!!

[@YvonneMarieElliott]

Paint color for sure!! That entire styling surprised me and i fell in love with it!❤😊

[@felicitousfeline9956]

Stunning! The molding and paint makes it a classy, and the room is so cohesive. For myself, I prefer items and art gathered over time that have personal meaning, but aesthetically (and economically!), the items and art work.

[@g.970]

I love love love the paint color. I just painted my guest bath on the main floor, my butlers pantry and my fireplace wall Sherwin Williams Urbane Bronze and I’m loving the dark moody feel it creates. I was never brave enough to do dark colors but now I’m glad I did. Yours looks amazing

[@Ocean-qd2ns]

%100 better it's nice & inviting. All white look is not good. Great job!!!! I liked the the natural grain woods you brought in & the painted walls😊

[@shelleyspeer5021]

Timeless and elegant! Something that will age well and make you feel at home every time you are in it or walk by it. Well done!

[@ellieb9]

Absolutely gorgeous. The whole room is cozy yet elegant. Well done.

[@TheTopaz60]

Absolutely lovely great work and styling ideas . So love the warm to cool classic Wedgewood type colour of the walls and panelling. Beautiful. Just totally wonderful charming and very tasteful . Not overdone . You are amazingly talented. Can't wait to see what you do with the outdoor patio and more please. So many thanks yous for sharing your inspired creativity... Ruth

[@oceanvibes921]

I love how calming it is. Also, instead of getting rid of the couch cushions you can recover them and change the style easily whenever you want a refresh. Plus it's easy to store the covers vs multiple pillows.

[@avelinasanchez441]

The molding for sure the paint color and the bookshelves. Loving loving your home, it came out beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

[@debrietaferguson2409]

This is so beautifully done. Looks modernly classic and fresh. Every bit of this room I love buy my standout items, the window treatments, styling of the bookshelves and the sofa with various accent pillows not to mention the paint color. Hard to stop naming all the wonderful touches you made here. Overall, this room is AWESOMENESS!

[@mrsbtheo]

Gorgeous, warm and inviting! I can't choose a favorite thing, I love all of it!!!

[@WordSpeak1048]

First video I've ever watched of yours, and I must say the transformation was amazing.

I love the warmth of the room. The panels on the wall are amazing.

[@nacquatabryson8365]

I love the library aspect to this design. Thank you for showcasing the bookshelves. I have a small space as soon as you walk in my home I’ve been wanting to turn into a library. Thanks for the great ideas. I love the color as well

[@Nicole_Riviere]

Wow, Kristen! This is my favorite of all of the room makeovers I have seen from you! Unbelievable 👏 And soooo cosy🙏🏼

[@ShirleyMcDonald-j4f]

Great job! You have a lot of talent. Your narrative of the space as you progressed was informative and well thought through. Thank you for a truly exciting and educational video!

[@siong7420]

I liked the white built in best

[@sharoncrooke8776]

Love this next step. Yet, why not two cabinets? Any photos of just two?

[@BettyJ155]

I liked the cordless wall sconces with the dimmable remote-controlled bulbs. I also liked how the wall colour created a more intimate and interesting space.

[@monicahardie2534]

Looks so inviting Kristen. Love the wall colour and how it has all come together. Enjoy!!!!

[@I-Khan75]

Just WOW…!!!! Everything is awesome but I Loved the paint, moulding, and the wall sconces.
