DIY Bedroom Makeover Part 1

[@kinga.rogowska]

I’m enjoying the renovations content SO MUCH. You’re a queen of DIY!

[@AriMari26]

So satisfying seeing a woman takes this on her own hands!! love the renovations

[@deborahbedford1459]

Don’t get discouraged-you’re doing an amazing job....and all on your own. I’d never be able to do that on my own. You are our DIY trailblazer!!!

[@EmmaHill]

Thank you ❤️

[@daisyjones5559]

Good on you Emma! Nice to see people renovating using what they already have - like the paint and bed.

[@EmmaHill]

The bed was new (our old one was not comfy) but we got one knowing we would be either painting or staining it. 👍

[@jorayna1]

Agree, very sensible. You can only spend so much time thinking about paint! Been there.

[@susanroome5020]

Don't beat yourself up just because you made an error - I think you are doing marvellously well. Can't wait to see the finished room. You are so good at everything that you do!

[@Daffodil553]

you are my inspiration Emma!!! not many ppl would be able to take on such a huge DIY project alone!!

[@elkehye]

I’m so glad that you didn’t go for a dark colour in the bedroom, this one is just absolutely perfect! I’m loving the renovation content btw! X

[@treeflan5682]

Emma, first off I really like the paint color. I know you thought it was a warmer color than the more expensive brand, but mixing warm and cooler colors works well because it's not as one dimensional. I have warm and cool colors in my house in the same rooms. When you go to do the decor it gives you so many more choices to work with! I love what you I've done so far I am frankly extremely impressed! I can't wait to see the finished product 😍❣️ You go girl!!!💖

[@jenniferboyle2865]

Emma I am so impressed that you are fitting your own lights!👷🏼‍♀️

[@joycedavey9818]

Emma, you are a mighty woman. Fair play to you and you have done a great job with your reno👏

[@40bdg]

Great job on everything! I love how you are not afraid to jump right in and do the DIY's! 👍👏👏👏

[@WAG24205]

That is quite the job you are tackling. Going up in the loft, putting up the ceiling rose!! Putting up that heavy light fixture! It’s going to look beautiful.

[@ErinCRN]

You are so inspiring! Hang in there! I’m loving all things Emma Hill from fashion to DYI renovations!

[@Yellowlouise87]

Emma's video's are so genuine and down to earth, well done both of you on your renovations! Keep up the good work guys😁😁

[@afeist8505]

Really enjoyed this video. Full of admiration for your bravery in tackling all the different tasks.

[@Dr_Dee_Sankofa]

You are doing a PHENOMENAL DYI job!! Amazing work Emma.

[@shelovesthemso6252]

I’m loving the reno- content so much.

[@elizabethsmith1803]

Good to see your little helpers!

[@emilytiny8057]

Love that you’re doing this yourselves! Very inspirational and there’s always that satisfaction once you’ve finished after doing it yourself. I think you deserve a holiday after this, decorating is hard work and tiring 🤪 xx

[@EmmaHill]

Yes I agree, a nice holiday 😍

[@victhoene]

Fascinating how your electric wiring is done there in UK. Not how we are allowed to do things here in the states. Love what you did with your bedroom walls - and DIY. Looks real nice! You are a great inspiration! Thanks for sharing

[@EmmaHill]

We are allowed to do minor changes here in the UK (as far as I am aware) like changing one light fitting (or switch/socket) for another. But anything more than that either has to be done by a professional or at least signed off by a professional 👍

[@beverlycollins4283]

I enjoyed this series of renovations you and Simon are producing for your channel. You haven't made any mistakes Emma. What you have done is self-teach. Your home is looking beautiful. Wishing you the greatest continued success from South Dakota. ⚘

[@colleenbarlow6524]

WOW You are amazing! So inspiring! I wish I had the nerve to try DIY because using tradesmen takes forever and after they have come and gone you often find fault in their work. I am enjoying these videos so much, thank you for posting them.

[@jennycheung5643]

Loving the renos so much! You’re doing an amazing job!

[@samanthapage4010]

Count me as incredibly impressed with your learnt skills, momentum and dedication to achieving a proper finish. It’s looking amazing 🙌🏻😍

[@heatherp7836]

Emma, mad props for your DIY's! You are but a handful of 'Tubers that actually do things yourselves and not hire out for everything. I love that you and Simon are so handy! Its really inspiring! Job well done!!!

[@EmmaHill]

I love completing a little DIY 👍 Such satisfaction.

[@nae4830]

Good for you Emma! I’ve worked on my house with things but I think you go above and beyond. I’m so proud of you for being a woman and that not only works/earns her living but does her own shit how you envision it and aren’t afraid to go after it. 💗 thank you for being an example and inspiration. 😁

[@skylilly1]

Caulking is tricky til you get the hang of it. Can't wait to see the finished rooms!

[@Britbabe53]

Wall colour turned out really nice! Loving the Reno vids!!!

[@jaidepoppy]

That colour looks great in your bedroom! Go you queen DIY ✨❤️

[@joelever7487]

Flipin heck your like wonder women !⭐️x

[@Grahamcracker6366]

Not wasting time dear...you just don’t want to do it again if you don’t like it. You both work hard, so be picky if you want to be! I love the colors. I’m proud of you.

[@ruminderauluck8575]

Love these home DIY videos. You are amazing! The house is coming together so nicely. You are always so real and true to who you are- love it. Good luck with the rest of the renovations! Looking forward to the next video. X

[@EmmaHill]

Thank you ❤️

[@pamkirby4390]

You are one hard working lady! Great job 😉💛

[@din2a]

fantastic! I wonder where and how you did get all these awesome abilities to construct not only your style but the home also... you are an inspiring person. Thx

[@jaccroft]

You are just brilliant !! It's always "a big job broke out " in our house . So Power to ya , you are doing amazing .!! .... tip for ya ... do all your scruffy works first before you paint .. e.g. Sanding , caulking ( pro bounced corking ) 😜 etc and if you don't use your tool for the caulking , just dip your finger in some white spirit or even water and use your finger to drag the caulk smooth . Xx Oh and please lovely one , don't stand on the bed to reach ya ceiling , or you'll break ya neck . ❤️👍

[@courtneymcquaid6275]

I'm so impressed by your DIY skills, you go girl!

[@sophieschoices9663]

Through this vlog I’ve actually just realized I have major fear of this kind of DIY, I get nervous just from watching you, it’s not easy stuff - You’re the DIY queen!!

[@lcook4691]

This is AMAZING! I’ve never enjoyed watching your video more than this one 😍😍😍

[@laurajenkins9279]

Love reading the comments on your renovation vlogs Emma - we are all in agreement that you are definitely the DIY queen! I am about to embark on quite a big old reno project and this is really inspiring me to do as much as I can myself and learn some skillzzz :) For now I have just spent the last few days painting doors and I'm sure my hands are going to be permanently paint speckled!

[@EmmaHill]

🤣 And no matter how much you scrub in the shower, there will still be speckles everywhere 🤣

[@joannemoat4053]

You’re such a hard worker Emma, well done. Love watching these videos xxx

[@conniestrand5727]

What a great job you are doing Emma! I love that you're not afraid to tackle any project. All DIY projects have some glitches and you are handling them beautifully! The bed stain is beautiful!!! Did you end up putting 4 coats on the bed or just 3? Keep up the good work! Can't wait for the next step in the process. (Still can't believe what an impact the changes to the wardrobes have made to the room--they are stunning!)

[@EmmaHill]

I have stuck to 3 for now, but it may have another before the next video goes up 🤣

[@katskirs]

I love the bed now. Really cool!!❤️❤️

[@ellisrose8017]

God Emma girl I feel your pain. The worst nightmare ever for every homeowner is a leak. You got there (luckily) very fast. Me on the other hand found the cause after 7-8 months. Let me spare you my nightmare, but let's just say, we had all of it settled after 1year and 9months. But I love seeing your renovations and the house is going to look fab. I am sure. It is worth it! Take care xx

[@EmmaHill]

Oh no! Hope it is all sorted now 👍

[@ellisrose8017]

@@EmmaHill yeah it is 😀

[@joanwalters4741]

So Proud alllll your talents😍 that you have shared !! I love to DIY, also, BUT, you take it to a higher level 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@mariamason8462]

I think you are very brave to do all of that hard Wark Emma well done.x

[@jayneyd4146]

Hi Emma, you are a real DIY queen! You are doing a fantastic job, the bedroom is coming along so nicely, going to look so different, I'm loving it already! 😉 can't wait to see it finished. Lucky you having a basement. Our house is old like yours but we haven't been gifted enough to have one. I just love your home, nothing like an old house, they have far more character, and they look great modernized, but still have that homely feel about them, something i just don't think you feel from modern houses. Looking forward to the next blog 😉x

[@amberfrazier575]

Tip for the calk, lay down painters tape on both sides lay the calk, smooth it out, let it dry HALF WAY and pull the tape up. It will have a perfectly straight edge on both sides.

[@suzannelee3823]

Enjoyed this DIY so much ! We actually bought the same caulking tool. My husband said it will make caulk so much easier. You are so handy....wow. The room so far is looking amazing.

[@debraeaton7378]

Next big project should be your loft! Dormers, real staircase up! Great new wardrobe, or maybe new master bedroom suite, or guest room?

[@EmmaHill]

Yes I would love that but a bit costly for a walk in wardrobe 🤣 it will take a little more convincing of Simon 🙈

[@paolaalviz7104]

Thanks for sharing Emma👏🏼👏🏼it’s looking great ✨I love when we get to see your babies 🐾on your videos. Can’t wait for the next one!

[@katharineleeder9348]

I’m also loving your DIY renos.... you are doing sooooo well! Looks great!

[@oyuntuulable]

You are superwoman Emma! Very proud of you!

[@louisajohnson4237]

Really enjoying these videos and I think you’re doing great doing quite hard jobs!

[@emma_manley]

Blimming love a DIY! You're doing fab! xx

[@cheekyllamacreations]

Wow well done, Emma. You’re a better man than I Gunga Din! Love the wall colour, love the stain, love the light fitting 👍🏻👌🏻

[@moniquemcgeachy1206]

Bee ! Just too much cuteness ! Great job Emma 👏👏👏

[@EmmaHill]

😍

[@LKJONES0406]

You're doing great Emma!

[@Eeellddee]

We stan a DIY QUEEN!

[@amandajones929]

I’m enjoying these renovation vids! I live in an old house semi-detached, in Toronto. Seeing how you’re making your home look like a castle gives me hope! I also struggle with nothing being straight #oldhousestruggles

[@thoughtsblender9998]

I’m impressed by your home fixing skills!

[@laurailunga7000]

Congrats. You’re doing well. I’m enjoying these vlogs

[@Lotus7119-9]

Love that warmer bedroom color!

[@Hannindrome]

Oh also a top tip I was given ahead of messing with electrics - take pictures of the wiring before you do anything. It was a good job I did because the live and neutral wires were both in black casing and I wouldn’t have known which was which after removing the box where they were labelled

[@EmmaHill]

Simon helped me finish that and he always does the basic electrics (switching lights or sockets) and your right about the colours. Nearly all our wiring is old colours so we always have to check what matches to what 👍

[@audrey57100]

Waouh super beau travail Emma tu peux être fière de toi 👏🏻👏🏻 Gros bisous de France 😘

[@EmmaHill]

Merci ❤️

[@weisabunny]

Sweet Emma! Don’t be too hard on yourself!!! I can’t tell you how much I don’t care for our wall colors that I had to choose in a rush... 6... yearssssss ago 😫☺️ You taking a few hours and sleeping on it sounds just right 👍🏽🤸🏽‍♀️🙌🏽💜

[@hildee8802]

Next level handy woman!

[@anar.7028]

Go Emma, Go Emma ,great job Loving the new vibe in the bedroom😘

[@annacabble4111]

Emma you are quite the good handyman!!!

[@gailbradford305]

You can glue the cut part back in the ceiling raise. Just caulk both sides sand and paint. No big deal

[@EmmaHill]

Yes, that's why I kept it as we may be able to use it in another room 👍

[@weisabunny]

17:16 that’s how our attack looked. We hired someone to put flooring and sheet rock up and used it as storage for suitcases and holiday bins. It was grand to have all the extra storage space 👏🏽🤸🏽‍♀️🥰

[@weisabunny]

Wait!!!!! Yours had sky lights!?!! Wow!!! Can you do vaulted ceilings?!?! Or an open loft to let light in and have a little reading nook?!??

[@EmmaHill]

We currently have to use a ladder to get up there so wouldn't be beneficial for anything - but we have discussed having it boarded with a pull down ladder/stairs so at least it is easier to access and store things up there. Although the dream would be to have a conversion and that could be my wardrobe 🤣 but I don't think Simon is keen to spend that much on a wardrobe 🙈 We will see 🤞

[@weisabunny]

Emma Hill it’s a lovely big space! I was shocked to see the sky lights! And the exposed brick is gorgeous too!!!! Storage for SURE! That’s what we did (ours was pull down ladder). We stored stuff we rarely used, knowing it for hot up there in the summer. But ours wasn’t so pretty 🥰 If it we’re I woulda looked into vaulted ceilings if possible. It’s crazy! But would be so pretty 🥰

[@nicolemartin8744]

Well done Emma it’s coming along nicely., In Australia filling in gaps etc is called caulking

[@FashionistaHairstyles]

Automatically stopped what I was doing to watch 😊😘😘🙏 you have that effect on people 💖💕

[@vickyb3697]

Well done, I don’t think I could do all that!

[@natashabyrne5168]

All looks fab so far well done cant wait to see end result

[@victoriaannmiddleton318]

Very impressed with your DIY!

[@gayane_igityan]

Great great job!!! I love when people DIY... Committed to do quite a lot of renovations at our apartment this year, so will be watching lots of tutorials in the near future 🙈

[@tiffany9924]

Emma, that loft has potential, maybe an office or another guest bedroom 😉

[@EmmaHill]

We would love to convert it fully but there isn't any need at the moment really. But maybe one day as we have spoken about it and always planned to. 👍

[@elvinanovoselova4438]

You're supergirl Emma! Really enjoy the work you've done👍

[@jojo-tl5ei]

You got this Emma and Simon. Know it is going to be fantastic. The puppers would love to help if only they had opposable thumbs.

[@shirleymclean5895]

Wow! Flippin impressive diy skills😐👍⭐️

[@mhpora]

Well done Emma!!!!

[@karenmickens4854]

Do your thang girl. Loving every minute of this. 😍

[@BecciBex]

"Think i've earned myself an Oreo" 😂 That statement alone made me subscribe! Love your videos, they make me feel motivated to do my own DIY

[@EmmaHill]

🤣 Thank you for subscribing ❤️

[@pamelaatkinsonscats2873]

Wow, Emma, your DIY skills are amazing! The wall colour is beautiful and the bed looks fab. You are brave to work with electrics, I'd be terrified.

[@deborahdavies3123]

Well done Emma you done a brilliant job x

[@ESmithonlyonthursday]

This is just adorable!

[@monastrand]

Paint the ceiling rose, even out the cut out part and put a mirror in it? Very cool :)

[@redakaraliukas2213]

LOVE YOUR "CUTIE PIE" DOGS 💕💕

[@MissRobH]

Emma Hill, keeping it real and doing all these DIY jobs herself, with the help of google and KZbin - and Simon of course :)

[@TheDeerfriend]

Super hard working! Go girl x

[@itslydiahall]

just come across your channel and already in love! great vids x

[@EmmaHill]

Thank you ❤️

[@wioletta9408]

So so so proud of you Emma!!!!You flipping :) fantastic:))))

[@367Play]

I bought that same caulk tool to do around the bottom of my tiled shower. Super useful. Plus, I didn’t ream out the tip of the caulk enough so I had to screw down the gun too much to get the caulk out. I ended up puncturing the bottom of the caulk tube and had an exploding mess 😬 But I got it done 👍 Enjoying watching your DIYs!!!

[@EmmaHill]

🤣 Thats all part of the fun ❤️

[@mdf2983]

You go girl! Does employee of the month realize how lucky he is to have you?😘

[@EmmaHill]

🤣 Sometimes 🤣

[@kimberlyoconnor1710]

This is very impressive Emma! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@laurenbrelsford7294]

Hi Emma what day will you be uploading part 2 of your bedroom renovations, can't wait to watch it. Love how hands on you are in part 1, feeling inspired & confident to tackle some of my own renovations/projects xx

[@EmmaHill]

Simon is just finishing off the editing today, so hopefully it will be up on Weds 👍

[@laurenbrelsford7294]

Brilliant! Thanks hun xx

[@m0rphine76]

I’m doing some painting in our bedroom at the moment as well so I’m feeling so involved 🙂

[@rattylol]

Hahaha! Dog's like 'who the feck are you talking too woman?'

[@EmmaHill]

🤣

[@claireb6966]

I love the wood stain on the bed! It looks so much better! Small side note, when in your loft it is best to wear a mask if you have fiberglass insulation, especially if you are moving it about, those fibers are pretty nasty. Can't wait to see part 2 :) x

[@jayjaytailor]

What an awesome job you've done Emma; well done!! Loving the DIY vlogs.
