DIY EXTREME home office makeover (start to finish)

[@FangToh]

ROCHELLE IS SUCH A GOOD FRIEND! Remember when Kelsey had a flower watch party and her Wisteria didn't bloom so she DIY some with her mum even though nobody told her to? The Internet needs to protect her at all costs!

[@SamiLoft]

omgggg yes

[@reeverb07]

YES I love Rochelle!!! 😭

[@BenjamintheTortoise]

Absolutely.... She's a superhero!!

[@mikaelagoldkuhl]

Rochelle is the best ❤❤❤

[@Jj85741]

Rochelle has skill set way beyond what this channel has been able to showcase! You go girl!!

[@FangToh]

RIGHT!? Where have they been hiding her? She needs to be on wayyyyyy more often and she has really good tips too

[@TamarLitvot]

Yep. That really became clear with the Secret Santa exchange.

[@lovingmayberry307]

I think she and Becky are well matched. That coffee bar Becky installed in her house?? 👍👍👍

[@aksez2u]

Oh yes, I really learned a lot from her video making this desk, and I've been around a lot of DIY and construction.

[@Sookielein]

Rochelle is so talented and such a sweetheart!

[@sophiareavley3513]

I know some people might be hating on the brown paint but I love a moody brown wall color!

[@jule4772]

me too! just saved it on my Pinterest board. Such a beautiful dark color without being all-consuming like a full-on black.

[@sophiareavley3513]

YES! I totally agree@@jule4772

[@LoomofDreams]

Same! It's super classy and gives the space a more polished vibe.

[@qianadavis1152]

I actually like the dark espresso brown. It's grown on me. Definitely would take it over gray but I get a lot of people don't know how to style with brown. It's more versatile than people think at the same time its more vintage than modern. You really would have to know what you're doing to make it look more modern than not

[@ellavanvlo]

Same love it!!

[@thefrenchmode]

Aw, the kiss on your forehead to heal the booboo ... ❤ The space is beautiful Kelsey !

[@BenjamintheTortoise]

Totally agree... The space is beautiful and it's obvious how much you enjoyed doing this for him. You're a thoughtful partner. Much love to you both 💕😊

[@OrganizeCreateDecorate]

Kelsey, I'm so sorry about your fall. I'm glad you had yourself checked out. Take care. The office looks great. You girls make a great team!

[@reeniepeenie]

Rochelle is literally so TALENTED!!!! Her ideas and fabrication are next level! We see you girl!!!!

[@myrnashoults9735]

Loved the desk, but still can’t get over the till she made for the craft fair, BLEW MY MIND!

[@Jj85741]

Green and brown are now Kelsey’s colours 🤎💚 Also the pothos added so much colour and life!!

[@lyssar10]

I’m so glad to see that Kelsey is doing okay after hitting her head. Concussions are no joke. It’s always ALWAYS better to be safe rather than sorry when it comes to head trauma. Kudos on the amazing makeover! Kelsey and Rochelle really did amazing work on this one!

[@fewaldow]

This is beautiful! Sorry for your fall, hope you are doing better now, Kelsey! One strong suggestion: Curtains on the window for better view of the monitors. It will ease Elliott's eyes (I don't know in English, but he can get "tired eyesight" if he is forcing his view too much to see the monitor). Even when the brightness is full, with sunlight sometimes it's not enough and he can get headaches.

[@Leslie-wb8cb]

Eye strain is real! Paper shades would be just fine.

[@vickinoeske1154]

I was thinking Roman shade.

[@GothicMaximalist]

That’s a smart and thoughtful idea!

[@hadiy101]

Agreed, I’ve had my desk against a window before and as nice as it is to look outside it can really start to hurt your eyes!

[@evicaf4e]

I was thinking that the whole time..and yes as someone mentioned roman shades are very nice for this kind of purpose.

[@luciekonopikova7744]

I love how both of you are wearing brown clothes while revealing his new brown office! :) The place looks awesome and inspiring.

[@concharodriguez5909]

Oh my god, the moment I saw her falling my heart stopped. I'm glad Kelsey is ok. Love the make over, love the desk, as always you did a great job!

[@tinysealooter]

The care package made me tear up! So sweet gotta love a work family taking care of their own! Love the new office! Great colour story!

[@sazennonumber]

I actually teared up when I saw the care pack that Rochelle prepped for you... and she drove you!!!! I want a friend like Rochelle. 🥺 Sorry you had that accident, Kelsey. The new office really looks cute. I don't know why, but it made me remember NY. Lovely!

[@gangewifre]

Kelsey you knocked it out of the park! Rochelle is such a rockstar for that desk, it's such a great piece! I've been loving how you've been pushing more moody colors, and as soon as the paint came out I gasped in DELIGHT! I'm so glad you got your head checked out as well, concussions are no joke. Congrats on another amazing space.

[@TrustLynn27]

I’m so emotional, I’m so glad to see Kelsey in such a good relationship and Rochelle being such a good friend. Love u guys! Growing up with u feels like we’ve been lifelong friends 😭

[@candybrooke22]

I love the brown wall, gotta keep a color scheme throughout the whole house. it's the brown fireplace I'm still trying to get onboard. Your style is so awesome and unique, so we keep an open mind for you!

[@this_hive]

All the props to Rochelle, she's such a gem of a human being! Also, for anyone tired of the browns... it's making a comeback in a huge and new way this year for interior design! I adored this colour and honestly taking it across the window was the right choice!

[@twistedfrannie9311]

Great space. Rochelle is the sweetest human being and shout out to Mel for being on top of Kelsey falling.

[@angelahudspeth4951]

At this point I think we can all agree that when it comes to Rochelle and her unending talents, not all heroes wear capes

[@momochan2387]

your team is so lucky to have Rochelle! The MVP!

[@destinypurnell2102]

Lol random, but you can tell Kelsey’s love language is gift giving/ acts of service because between this video and the movie room she just is always so excited to show her boyfriend. Love that for her.

[@megancampbell3914]

very realistic use of odd spaces for a lovely office.

[@jethor4561]

I love this, especially the brown paint! One thought i had - you could build a little removable wooden box over the stove top (like people do with gas stoves in small places) and I think it would add another nice touch. Anyhow, this was a great example of doing more with the spaces you have.

[@yalazha]

Props for Kelsey for giving her bf a cute work background and desk with built in risers, that place is a vibe! And also to Rochelle for her skills!! and for the ultra sweet care package.

[@theglamourghoul5308]

This makeover was a homerun! Even the dark chocolate paint looked great. It pulled everything together. And that desk, wow!

[@JL11775]

Well done, Kelsey, and kudos to Rochelle for the beautiful desk!

[@GothicMaximalist]

I love the brown paint color, it’s gorgeous and rich! And I really dig the way you painted across the window trim, something about it scratches my brain right lol. Don’t worry about us the fans liking or disliking the paint, you are doing it for him, not us, he has to like it and you picked a color you knew he’d like :)

[@rachnasingh90]

Rochelle might be the most talented and kindest person in the world!

[@imtoolazyyyy]

I wanna see a Rochelle + her momma vid, show us your collective creative PROWESS!! She consistently SLAYS IT and the care package omg 😍😍

[@ghostly.creature]

Rochelle IS A GEM! And Kelsey, please take care, I have concussed myself while cleaning recently too and had horrible headaches for 2 months it was really not fun :( This makeover is amazing, and I think the brown fits really well, I hope Elliot enjoys it!

[@meganking2205]

Personally, I’ve always subscribed for concussion care content (and D.I.Y. on the side) but glad to have a reminder 😅

[@katelester5625]

While I still don’t fully understand why his office is in the kitchen rather than one of the other rooms upstairs, you really did a lot with this space! It looks great. Opening up that one cabinet to create some open shelving made a surprising amount of difference

[@mandymyname1]

My guess is it is because of the window

[@danielleboon1543]

A tip for painting headboard: if you get a roller sleeve with a longer nap, it’ll have a much easier time getting into those grooves

[@jenniferkannapel9450]

The custom desk is gorgeous but sadly the dark brown walls make it kinda disappear as a fabulous piece. It makes total sense that you wanted to add some color to the area but the desk alone would have done that. If anything painting the wainscot a much lighter version of any color other than brown would have worked great there. Love the taking the color line across the window! YIKES!! Just saw you fall:-( Hope you are all good now. The wallpaper inside the cabinet looks great!

[@BasicOtter]

Omg I’m SO happy you went & got medical attention! Head injuries are no joke … you can feel totally fine for hours after the impact and then disaster can strike. Take care!!!

[@rosevanstaden4562]

Kelsey, dam gurl you almost died for the things you love, make overs/reno and Elliot . Glad you didn’t! Rochelle is just such a magical human, we need more people like her. Take care of Kelsey too because you matter

[@BeppyCat]

Eliot is a great sport betting filmed coming home from a trip to a surprise! His reaction was so sweet and genuine. And I love how Dutch oven too. Let's add pops of red

[@Dittygirl89]

IKEA sells white plugs for shelf-holes. We used them on our glass-doored cabinetry

[@lisamencer5450]

I love brown! Everyone likes black as an accessory and fashion, but I love brown!

[@nutz13_]

i watched the desk build and i was so HYPE for this video!!! Great job, I love how this turned out :) Also i hope you're ok Kelsey! Concussions are serious business, i deal with post-concussive syndrome from a rugby incident 6 years ago and it affects my every day life..

[@shellsisacoolpear]

I suffered a concussion in oct '22 and that winter started noticing some things tasted different or badly, your comment made me look into post concussion syndrome and change of taste and smell can be one and I feel like I finally figured it out.

[@quadbox]

Everyone needs a Rochelle in their life: talented, creative, intelligent, caring. 😍✨

[@SherriSenel]

That desk was killer! The legs and the corner shape turned out amazing together!

[@lifeof.chrystina]

A monitor mount creates so much extra desk space, literally just got a double one for my work desk at home and the amount of space it freed up is incredible.

[@donnaregenauer2757]

Hello from KY love you and your channel ❤️.Kelsey it is amazing what love can do.Just a wonderful make over❤

[@dylanainge2324]

Rochelle is the mvp of this channel fr. She is slaying 24/7

[@loissaedder2214]

I love that brown. And like you said, the only thing that matters is that Elliott loves it. Hello from Queensland

[@brklnsage]

brown color is SO underrated, love how it turned out🤌

[@cynthiat6505]

Rochelle is so incredibly talented! And so generous! What a woman! Also brown is a color that men generally like, so don’t worry!

[@michaelarowan4174]

You should make a nice wooden burner cover for the stove top with a matching stain to the desk. That could tie the office corner colors to the kitchen space and make the surface area of the stove more usable while it's not utilized for cooking. Also would make the whole space a little less kitchen-y.

[@beccaa2919]

Genius idea to use the white strips from the wallpaper to cover the holes

[@jeanettekakareka]

Also having seen Elliott in many a video now, I think it definitely comes across how much he loved the makeover!! 🥰 Yay for giving partners surprises!

[@jemma50]

Great makeover, Kelsey! Love the brown colour. Brown *can* be a wonderful colour in the right shade and bittersweet chocolate is clearly the right colour in Elliott's office. Love his plant babies. Everything looks great! The desk is perfect and I love the stain colour. Rochelle did a fabulous job on it. (Is there anything that girl can't do?! ♥) That is a bummer about your fall, Kelsey and I hope you are completely recovered. ♥♥♥

[@ktk2094]

I'm glad you're okay after your fall. I've almost done that myself (gone down the wrong side). The office looks great. Did Elliot notice how clean his Dutch oven is?

[@heatherflynn8725]

Turned out very nice. The bittersweet chocolate color on the added a warmth to the space. And the desk that Rochelle made is beautiful.

[@HeavensSmile_]

Hello dear👋 , how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe

[@diannevala9926]

Can we appreciate how both of them have matching colour tops AND it’s also matching the new office colour! Love it🤎

[@dmmomma]

Two things! I love what you've done. Great job! Here is an SBI (sathingly brilliant idea) Have you ever heard of a dough board? They're everywhere now!make one for the stove top (which is what they were originally created for), giving you more counrer-type space and a place to knead your dough! It would be another way to camouflage the kitchen into an office. Again, great job!

[@nixi-bixi]

I use an ikea LÄMPLIG chopping board on top of my gas stove in my small kitchen for more surface space. The chopping board is large, fully covers the stove and has a lip that covers the raised grate section.

[@karaitskara]

@@nixi-bixi I bought two huge floor tiles and use them to cover my gas stove. I figure it's more fire safe.

[@farynhill8961]

So adorable. The matching brown shirts and lil head kiss at the end

[@shastabare6026]

Me seeing the green white board and the silver wall paper and the breige curtains 😬😬😬 but that seep brown wall paint 🤗🤗🤗 it was perfect, Kelsey. Also i can explicitly see myself stepping onto the wrong side of my ladder. Ex👏pli👏ci👏tly 👏 And do i need to make a desk, no. Do i want to go hang out with Rochelle while she makes a desk, yes.

[@melissaleejohnson3542]

Kelsey!! I never realized those curtain clips were to create pleats! I’ve been using them incorrectly for YEARS, thank you thank you for showing me the light.

[@gregorydaines]

That picture frame white board is genius

[@kanaboke74]

His reaction was so sweet! Great job to you and Rochelle!

[@itsGabrielaCristina]

I am Rochelle's #1 fan

[@Shooshoobella7]

Everything turned out amazing! Kudos to you Kelsey and Rochelle for your vision and hard work in bringing this space together. It looks, fresh, modern, cozy and professional all at the same time. Glad you're OK, Kelsey and that Elliot loved and appreciated it. So sweet of Rochelle to send you that care package. The love and friendship you all share really warms my heart. ☺

[@bumblebee_ms]

Kelsey, I LOVE the dark wall paint you chose.

[@bumblebee_ms]

This is my add-on tip for anyone who wants to change the fabric on an office chair, glue gun another fabric of your choice over the existing one, I do this all the time and it works perfectly, especially on items that are difficult to replace or change.

[@louismeyer5132]

Its lovely that you did a surprise makeover for your partner. I liked it, the colours are masculine, go with the existing kitchen but still looks dramatic.

[@natachar9635]

Watching you sweep the floor on your knees instantely brought me back to your first office and that crazy old vaccum your guys had there !!

[@apappl07]

That whiteboard idea is brilliant! The monochrome makes it look sophisticated and expensive.

[@bluebeanbaby]

ROCHELLE IS THE PRINCESS OF PINE, I SAID IT. I LOVE HER AND SHE MUST BE PROTECTED AT ALL COSTS. Her talent is untouchable and her heart is like so warm and kind. She is the best. I am an OG Sorry Girl fan and she is a highlight for me over these years. Anytime. I see her pop up I'm psyched. ❤Rochelle I wrote this a couple videos back but I await the design launch with excitement...get on it😅😊

[@juliettekingsford6772]

Brown is having a moment! Own it! ❤

[@nataliemellick8579]

Omg please don't apologize for using brown or green ever!!!! Those are my colors girl 🙏😍

[@Chantal_4107]

Ouch, that fall was not fun, glad you were okay. I find the dark brown works well as an office space, but it really does contrast how light and bright the kitchen looked when it was white. But like you said, if it's to be used as a kitchen again, it can be repainted easily!

[@itscarolinemary]

Rochelle you need to start a custom furniture business, that desk is so good! ❤‍🔥

[@vasundajay]

Rochelle! The friend you need. Skilled! That table is beautiful!!! Kelsey, hope you’re feeling better

[@indieconquers]

More Rochelle videos!! She's making high quality stuff and needs a brighter light than she's been given!

[@martamanfrin5675]

Love the makeover and love how sweet it all is. You could tell how much you really wanted to make it right for him and I love how sweet you were to each other. And how sweet Rochelle is 🥰

[@beverlydust5381]

Kelsey, hope that you are feeling better now .Hope Elliot likes his new work space.

[@tabeamb9805]

Can we talk about the diy matches omg that did the whole thing. So gorge ❤😮

[@TamarLitvot]

The brown in this room looks great! Rug is just right. It's a beautiful redo of the space and Rochelle's desk is just amazing! I have many types of plants but my pothos is special -- goes back to a beloved older cousin, one of the few in her generation who escaped before WWII. She was minimally educated but smart and incredibly kind. She gave me the pothos that all the rest have come from (my grown kids all have plants from it). The pothos is a survivor, just like her. So appreciate Elliott's plants!

[@Melissa_______]

Rochelle with the care package and car rides 🥲. Also, nailed this brown

[@laraangel6862]

adoro il color cioccolato e comunque il marrone è di tendenza nell'arredamento di interni per questo nuovo anno ❤

[@YasminMR]

I mean, I could watch Kelsey paint an entire house brown and wouldn’t bother at all! Love you girl! Hope your doing better. Also loved Rochelle’s desk! ❤❤

[@suzy1676]

Awesome job to Kelsey's and Rochelle's mad skills!❤

[@mssaylav1]

I’m so glad you’re ok. Shout out to Rochelle, gurl you be doing it 💯

[@Adrienne.Granados]

“If you want to see me do more brown makeovers..” 😂 hahahaha. Honestly I love it all though! And Rochelle, the desk 🤌🏼 Love her video of the process too.

[@serendipityawaits4768]

SO glad you went the clinic! I LOVE that Elliott is such a great plant parent!

[@alicejump2290]

Hey girl, talk about “falling” in love with great decor ! So SORRY about the actual fall, may you have complete recovery!

[@Dynsdead]

Rochelle is the sweetest person on earth 🤍 and she is so talented !!!!

[@h4n1zhr]

rochelle's table is literally the best ever it is so perfect?!

[@juleslovesbooks6904]

Glad you went to the walk in, a head injury is nothing to ignore!

[@Team_Monty]

Wow! You're so lucky you weren't alone! I got concussed when I was home alone and didn't realize I had a concussion until months later😅 The confusion can make you too fuzzy to realize you might need help. I turned out okay, but it makes me worry for myself and others now

[@cvonsutphen]

*Amazing Compromise* . I don't know how I would feel if my "office" was in the kitchen on the daily, then again I have my computer stashed in an armoire and it's my favorite spot because it's filled with inspo in the background. I love the brown color, rug and desk. The desk in the corner provides great natural light and a view of the outdoors. Great decision on the open shelving and incorporating the plants. Thumbs up on the curtain to hide a very utilitarian space. The one element I would consider adding is a wood tray on the stove top to conceal the burners. With all the talent in TSG team, I'm sure something could be done that doesn't feel too farmhouse.

[@marim0y]

Listen, I feel like every single episode lately is Rochelle flexing hard! 💪🏽Get it, girl! Damn she has skills.

[@Naamisonbekend2]

O my I hope your head is better now Kelsey! And you did an excellent job designing and make-overing this space❤! Also amazing desk Rochelle 👌, I also love the brown and green with all the plants 😄

[@hiitsjess4703]

I actually liked this brown, in this room, for this space. The window brings in lots of light and since it’s a cooler shade of brown it doesn’t give off 💩vibes. 👏🏼 to Rochelle for that amazing desk.

[@dominikap-a9323]

That chocolate paint looks stunning!

[@HobbyHopperJoanne]

I like the walls, and continuing the paint acress the window trim.

[@salmaramirez4979]

I questioned the brown at first .. but then it was giving almost dark academia office and I lovedddd it ❤

[@virginiakrueger4780]

Embrace your love of autumn colors and don't let others make you feel bad. You like what you like. Is it {brown} my aesthetic? No. Can I enjoy you doing it in your home and elsewhere? Absolutely!! Would you like my aesthetic? Probably not. No biggie. The differences in each of our homes is what makes it so much fun going to different homes. I can appreciate a well put together home. I love when people have put thought into what they have. It always shows. One aspect i like about the Sorry girls is the occasional whimsy thrown in!

[@LittlePrairieLibrary]

I LOVE the brown!!! Literally I'm writing down the paint colour so I can remember it for future reference!
