I live in a Victorian Cottage style home and it's been fun for my husband and I to update each room while still keeping the charm of a historical building. Most items featured in this video were purchased second hand from thrift stores, goodwill, ebay, depop and Facebook!
Shop my vintage style pink match striker from Front Gate here: rstyle.me/+50fFH0mZYiPYP4RY2j...
Shop my Heritage Lace Gala Fringe curtains here in the color Ecru:

I have been so inspired by the beautiful chateau related channels I watch on KZbin, like Chateau Diaries, Dreaming of a Chateau, Doing It Ourselves etc that I decided to give our guest room a dreamy and elegant makeover! Nearly everything I decorate with is a thrift store, garage sale, or auction find. My husband and I live in a Folk Cottage Style Victorian home and I love looking for unique antiques to compliment our historical home.

[@sandielindemeyer9341]

The bed looks beautiful! Give your Mom an extra hug and kiss when you’re with her. I lost my mom in December and I miss her so much.

[@VintageBombshell]

I’m so very sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine what you’ve been through 😔 sending you so much love and comfort ❤️

[@sandielindemeyer9341]

@@VintageBombshell Thank you Selena this meant a lot!

[@rhondasales5176]

What an amazing blessing. I so wish my mom and I lived closer so we could do things like this together. We are both crafty and send pics to each other all the time of finds and makeovers. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@amyweaver7413]

How pretty - a perfect room for Selena to stay in.

[@teresadawson1351]

Keep having fun together! I miss my mom.

[@peggyawald2749]

your mom is like my mom was .we lived by the city recycling area and my mom brought things home painted, recovered and rescued treasures , how fun

[@VintageBombshell]

That’s awesome that you grew up the same way I did! It was always fun seeing what treasures my mom would find next!

[@christina-yp6jy]

Your moms guest room came out really nice.

[@markellwilliams3594]

Hi Selena.. I loved it! Mom is so smart and got it going on. I loved both of y’all’s tips. Hope you all had a blessed weekend. Take care darlings 🙏🏽👌🏾🌸♥️🌸

[@joycehauke6027]

I love watching you and your Mom together. It reminds me so much of my Mom and I and our little projects. Bittersweet memories.

[@vickyhaggerty763]

Loved the bedspread, always enjoy watching you and your Mom!

[@jacquelynnweiss1718]

That bed is gorgeous,what a find. Love your mom ,she is so much like me

[@angelagraney4592]

Watching you with your parents is so nice for someone who didn't experience that kind of close relationship. Your Mom is a delight.

[@ms-kaus4613]

So nice to see your parents. What a fun time and thanks for the tips for paints and the wax. The fur babies had a great time too! Projects look great!

[@marcelacastaneda7639]

The paper is so pretty. You can make a framed picture out of it for the guest room. Cool.

[@marlyswilliams9949]

You two could use an old table to work off of instead of kneeling on concrete and tile. A board over sawhorses will do. The waxing and embellishments near eye level are so much easier. Beautiful cozy guest room.

[@stacyt_1967]

I love watching you and your Mom together... you are so fun. And, I loved watching Millie at 7:10... she looked like she was digging for your truffles. Beautiful work on the new room. xx

[@ollerpops]

"Mole-Mom" omg! I laughed so hard! Your Mom is awesome Selena. She has the funniest dry sense of humor.

[@VintageBombshell]

Haha Mole Mom Is our favorite joke now 😆💕

[@darlenecraig9574]

Love you two! Oh how I miss my Mom💕 She taught me so much about decorating, refinishing, painting, paper hanging and gardening. It is so much more special to find a deal on furniture and refinish it! The money you save is crazy and the quality is usually better. Enjoy every moment with her!

[@sherylbehrman3146]

Selina you and your Mom are so great together on these videos . Your funning around and corny humor is so refreshing in this crazy world ! Keep making me smile please 💞 Thank you both

[@suecorliss2874]

The bedroom turned out so beautiful. Lot of textures with the new vintage furniture. Simply amazing you two.

[@dorisezell4413]

Tell your mom I love her puppies 😊 I love watching when you do things together😍

[@lianapalumbo8457]

Don't you just LOVE how parents have all these ideas and keep things that we would normally not keep. Love watching you both work together and the fun you have. Thank you again for a wonderful episode ❤️❤️ xx

[@sheliabowen7094]

You guys have way to much fun but I love it. Makes me think of my daughters and me doing things.oh wow love the wallpaper.

That bed is beautiful....I learned so much watching this video. Thanks ladies!

[@MeeganMakes]

The wallpaper is stunning! I love the colors and pattern. Great makeover.

[@k.d.1050]

That's really clever. I've got tons of old pill bottles. I also use them for crafts. I keep my beads & other small bobbles inside of them. I also like to paint the lids white & cover them with contact paper. They end up looking really cute.

[@candydonnelly7543]

Love seeing your Mom and Dad, smear hung the interaction with them, the laughs and humor is wonderful. Great job you two! Hugs to you and those truffle eating from babies, they immediately jumped on those goodies😂😂❤️❤️😂😂❤️❤️

Yes, she is a sweetheart. It will be nice to have a special room at her house now :)

[@sandrajoyner6474]

So pretty! So feminine! Love it...The change is so subtle, but it's classy!
