[@TheFootyHub101]

Kristen!! Thank you so much for transforming my apartment into such an amazing space to host my friends and family. You're an absolute gem. I know how much hard work you put into making this happen so from the bottom of my heart. Thank you! ps I still pinch myself every time I walk into my apartment. Still cant believe it looks this good!

[@KristenMcGowan]

Awwww!! Thank you so much for trusting me with your home!!❤️❤️ we love you! I’m so happy you’re happy!

[@Homer-t2l]

Talk her into doing your bedroom and office, I’d love to see what she would do because the living room and dining rooms are awesome

[@mylifeed360]

Hey John I’ll give you 50 bucks for that World Football Club Crest! 😳😱 and viva CR7 since I know you from Portugal 🫡🇵🇹

[@evelyn.scott4]

Really nice. Please just put stain guard on all the light fabric!

[@KoiAi_]

Jon, loved your response, so genuinely excited. Every designer's dream. Enjoy your new home 🙏🏼

[@MyCraftygirl]

I loved that he said "i feel like a man". A beautiful home makes someone feel amazing and mature.

[@amandac2563]

Please do more of these makeovers Kristen! :)

[@pretinaj.phoenix6532]

This makeover has just confirmed, how creativity and imagination can transform an empty space into one that fills the hearts of those who enter it...OUTSTANDING JOB Kristen !!!

[@stinaljungstrom8691]

He looks like a relaxed guy. I think you totally nailed his style when you made it personal, relaxing and cosy. I'm glad the feeling of lux didn't go totally glam or to strict or minimalistic. Love it!

[@5mullys]

You knocked it out of the park!! What a fabulous transformation!! I love that you floated the couch in the middle. Most people are inclined to put it up against the wall.

[@soupafleye]

im so jealous of ppl who are friends with youtubers who do renovations/makeovers 😭 yall got the hookup especially with sponsorships like castlery

[@cherylr7180]

This might be my favorite makeover. It’s so upscale, yet homey. Love your work!

[@irecediel]

i want this to be a series

[@nancye66]

Any comment is ineffective in conveying how amazing this transformation is! You thought of absolutely everything Kristen! Just…wow… 🤗

[@KristenMcGowan]

🥹🥹 thank you!!!

[@janellekunellis6584]

Awesome job!! 👏👏👏👏👏

[@anniemeacham4217]

I needed this, a fresh start-to-finish, step-by-step. Kristen? I’m 70 and starting over with nothing but my Q TempurPedic mattress. You broke it down, took all the overwhelm out of the tasks ahead of me. I have to process knowledge, vendors, and confidence to do this. Cannot thank you enough.

[@aminabekenova9064]

Omg! You did such a wonderful job, Kristen! The living space looks so cozy and high end. Absolutely beautiful!

[@colleenmarshallmusic1849]

Amazing !!

[@MrMandm2123]

Kristen please do his bedroom and office ❤

[@jennyberry2610]

just seeing you help your friends making there home looks so luxurious and also incredible amount of amazing furniture you did a wonderful job making his apartment luxurious

[@aaronboogie4469]

What I love about your style is that you truly try to capture what the clients like. You can tell how appreciative they are by the amount of times they hug you during the reveal. Amazing job, as always!! Also, this is my first time seeing anyone use those new IKEA light sculptures. I didn’t get it because I think the cord would bug me, but now I’m inspired by the clever way you hid the attention of the cord behind the bar.

[@Creyole]

I agree with you, and the cord cover makes it look like the light is floating.

[@mariamendoza5504]

Kristen you turned your friend's apartment into a beautiful cozy elegant apartment. The sectional sofa is gorgeous and comfortable All the decorative accessories that you implemented in your decoration are very nice giving that touch of elegance. I loved your friend's reaction when he saw his apartment transformed into a beautiful and elegant apartment. Have you decorate a house or an apartment it's such an honor. Thank you for sharing this video with all of us. Sending you Greetings from New York City 🗽🙏😘💕💐👍

[@jocelynprudencio6140]

I can't believe this is your first apartment makeover. Absolutely amazing job on this! I love it!

[@irecediel]

its so good

[@sandrabentley8111]

First 'male' apartment makeover she said.

[@coolceelah]

I loved all your furniture and décor choices! So elegant and beautiful!

[@riverview9320]

Yeah - everything is so thought out - nothing to just fill a spot.

[@rachanasoma776]

I can't believe how the whole living n the entertainment area is coming together just by that humble jute rug! Like it's colour coordinating

[@AllisonHoffman]

Well that was worth the wait! I was smiling, with tears in my eyes! 😂😭🤣 you are so talented. I've been wanting so badly to do something to my little ugly apartment but on disability and helping special needs grandchildren. Maybe someday! God bless you and congratulations on this project you never fail every thing you have done has turned out so beautiful.

[@scdobserver835]

Even though some may argue that an empty apartment is a lot easier to design but it's your attention to details to your 'client's' likes and personality plus the immaculate mixing and matching of old and new and still keeping everything under a decent budget that impresses!

[@dottiedevillier3587]

Kristen, WOW you did an amazing transformation and please, please take him up on doing his bedroom and office I would love to see that. And as always thanks for giving me inspiration ideas.

[@agirlisnoone5953]

"I feel like a man now!" I loved that! From a scruffy uncouth guy to a civilized, stylish man 😊

[@simmis9387]

Loved this one!! You should do more videos like these.

[@KARN1977]

You knocked it out of the park Kristen ❣️

[@kellypruitt2362]

If I had some money, I would totally ask to pay you to help me decorate my home. You’re style is spot on for me and I love all your ideas. Thanks for sharing❤❤

[@KristenMcGowan]

Thanks so much 😊

[@reginabeasley872]

The joy of decorating for another person is the happiness they show when they see the final results

[@jeanne-marie8196]

Looks like you need to do more apartment makeovers! Just beautiful

[@KristenMcGowan]

🤣👏🏼

[@jenniferhuff2566]

I appreciate that you shop thrift stores in addition to new. It’s a great way to keep costs down and help the environment! It turned out amazingly. Thanks for sharing.

[@lieslnew8247]

Kristen this is just gorgeous. The deliberate placement of each and every item is just so thoughtful. Whilst I love your design talks I have really missed your “makeovers”. Just beautiful. ❤❤

[@joanneschofield9737]

You're style is Absolutely Amazing!!!!! Congratulations on your engagement Kristen😊 much luck and blessings

[@KristenMcGowan]

Thank you!!

[@rolandchampaine]

After watching, honestly you did good. He really did have a good open space apartment to work with. I like how you didn’t buy overly big furniture so that even with the pieces you did buy, they weren’t ytoo big. You still had room to be comfortable and not feel closed in. The only critique I would say is when you’re doing makeover’s for men…try to stick with one bold dark (brown…black…brown…army green) color for your couch and give it a warm feel with a nice accent piece. You had some very nice pieces ( bar, tv console, chest…) in my opinion they would have stood out a tad bit more with the right color tone against them. But overall you did good.

[@user-jy8jq8mr1f]

So good! Yes hope to see the other rooms done too!

[@KristenMcGowan]

🙊🙊

[@lisaarribas6601]

Beautiful work!

[@j-ru5527]

😍 This is SO RELATABLE to a Ron of people! It's so hard to make a apartment like a hone and you did it Kristen! I know this is going to be a popular watch for many!

[@RuthZeeck]

I would have never selected a white sofa for a single man. Love the way it all came together!

[@pauladelgrosso7203]

I literally cried when you did the reveal with Jon Paul! I love how you turned his space into a beautiful home for him. And all the thought you put into the accent pieces is amazing!! You’re the best Kristen ! I want an apartment like that!! 🙌🙌❤️

[@KristenMcGowan]

Awwww😭🙊🥹 thank you Paula!!!❤️

[@emilyohara6408]

Kristen I love your channel. This is your best video yet. You have found your calling. You are a very talented interior designer. It very hard to find someone who knows their stuff but has incredible taste and style. I’m nota person who praises easily. A well thought out KZbin channel as well. Keep up the great work

[@emilyferrante4589]

Awesome!!! Well done Kris, this space is totally transformed and looks so male-freindly and functional! I'm sure its going to be loved. So lovely of you to help!

[@carolynchin7998]

You are now my favorite designer. You make houses into home on a budget. Yet they are so beautiful.

[@madisonpearson3070]

you are seriously so underrated! this is amazing! you are super talented. Manifesting a home line for you. I love your channel

[@pauladelgrosso7203]

Yessss a we need to have a Kristen McGown home line!!! ❤️❤️

[@ann-kristinhedlund5794]

You decorate so beautifully, you really have an eye for it. I wonder where the two candlesticks in brown come from, different heights?

[@michellem434]

It's so gorgeous Kristen! I love the reveal and how happy you made Jon. The different pictures you gathered are my favorite. You always place them in the perfect place. Thank you for sharing this journey with us!!❤

[@cbvickers4044]

Gorgeous...perfect decor for a young man. My 29 year old son would love it 😍

[@GT-zn2ew]

You are just amazing Kristen, another beautiful work!

[@Vees2219]

GIRL! You killed this!!

[@laurendrake3395]

Stunning! I love your esthetic and this project was truly amazing!

[@aartiiyer813]

I love the dark wood candlesticks on the IKEA cabinet. Where are these from, please?

[@dianejohnson7235]

Wow Kristin, what a transformation!!!! You did such an amazing job!!!!

[@userwholovesqq]

[@RaisingFlechas]

Finally an apartment makeover that is relatable! Great job, Kristen! 👏👏👏 you have great talent ☺️

[@kevinfestner6126]

The gallery wall is genius.

[@Aim4God]

Oh wow, Kristen, it looks amazing! I usually love your videos, but this is my favorite! 😍

[@Kaditsu-Chronicles]

Wow! Great job with it❤ Tree and it’s basket needs to be bigger though😊

[@SABOREAME68]

⭐⭐⭐⭐ The apartment exudes an understated elegance & sophistication, without sacrificing comfort and function. Great transformation Kristen.

[@ayush_stha]

Although I would have preferred the sofa and coffee table to have legs, the renovations have been beautifully done. The transformation is simply stunning.

[@alyalyaa]

INCREDIBLE as always!! Kristin you did a stunning job! Love how you tied in the floor color into furniture for a more cohesive look. Please do more makeovers😍😍😍

[@chynahbug82]

my fav is the Ikea cases and the art

[@amykrupa-wyckoff4601]

Absolutely amazing! I am so incredibly thankful for recently finding your channel as we are almost done building our house and moving in, you've given me so many ideas that I never would have had on my own. I cannot wait to decorate and just watching the colors come together with everything before any furniture makes me so excited. Thank you for the inspiration and ideas. You are truly talented and do a wonderful job.

[@anitafreeman9845]

Yes I’m working on my son’s first apartment and this is very inspiring. He’s a man’s man but this helps so much! Love the sliding door cabinet, the tree, the light and the leather ottoman. It looks so good!

[@nataliaosiak5752]

Wow wow wow 🤩 I’m speechless how good this apartment looks . Well done Kristen

[@marilainefontenot8220]

I don't know how I missed this makeover when it came out, but once again you went above and beyond the imagination. Thank you for sharing this amazing project and as always I can't wait for your next video.

[@vvmarie9922]

You did an amazing job every thing looks so nice, his reaction is priceless and saying you have 2 more spaces to work on is the best part such a great video

[@artsyladie7]

Kristen, you did an AAHMAZING job on his apartment! I shed a couple tears when he first saw it!

[@gayathrisivananthan8058]

I love how you are putting so much love and effort on everything you do

[@Musicwithmelissa1]

Oh my goodness you are a MASTER at what you do, Kristen! You inspire me to update my home i’ve been in for 10 years. It’s in need of a lot of TLC and you always give me such amazing ideas. Keep those great makeover videos coming!! 🙌🏼👏

[@giantoptics101]

Please post more of makeovers. Love how you can turn things so lux!!

[@ginacrusco234]

Great job! I love the "off-the-wall" design, the color scheme of warm and cool neutrals, the textures of nubbly fabrics and smooth leather, the balance in the room. One suggestion for a small change: perhaps break up that row of three blocks (white couch extension, black coffee table, caramel ottoman) with an organically shaped coffee table instead.

[@ghijoanne]

I’ve always been a fan of your makeover projects… from when you do for your parents house… your works are simple but very elegant and classy. Great job on this and congratulations!

[@JillMaurer]

Loved his reaction, and your reaction to his reaction!

[@123abc77]

YOU DID AN AMAZING JOB STYLING AND DECORATING!!! I hope to see more makeovers from you because of your talent, ability, and great fluency to communicate in a simple / effective way! So Dope Kristen!

[@Marcusvili]

This the best makeover I have ever watch. All the picture around the Tv look stunning. This is so unique with all the different kind of frame. I am going to do the same think in my wall. Everything little space look amazing. I don’t have word anymore. I can’t wait to get a bigger house. Congratulation Kristen

Omg Kristen this apartment looks amazing!! So gorgeous. I love your work and style. We just need more makeovers now please 💜💜

[@phyllisshand6183]

John was right, ‘This is amazing’. Wonderful!

[@indygrammy]

Omygosh this transformation is amazing! Kristen, you are so talented with decorating, designing, and then having wonderful content for your viewer! On a personal note, can you share the color and brand of your lipstick when you are in the car. It’s lovely!

[@Moonlightingbbb]

Ok Jon is the luckiest friend on earth! Love the apartment ❤

[@LaurenVR.]

Kristin, this is absolutely amazing!! Everything looks so high-end and so intentional! It doesn’t matter what space you are given to transform you kill it every single time!!! Ever since I was a teen I wanted to be an interior designer and you just inspire me even more to do so one day!! Now when can I hire you to do my home? 😅♥️

[@kasko8550]

😮 This is sooo beautiful - modern and stylish and personal and cosy at the same time! Incredible!! I love it!!

[@shannonbetancourt712]

Wow Kristen! You really out did yourself! Like you said, everything looks like it belongs there! Everything is perfectly placed and properly balanced with the colors and textures you added to the space. Looks SOOO good!!!

[@Streamlined955]

Great Video! I’m a recently divorced guy whose NEVER had to decorate his own place before this year. I’ve been learning design basics from your channel and really appreciated seeing you do a bachelor pad.

[@MinaKay84]

Ty again Kristen for another amazing Makeover! I love seeing your reactions to the owners' reactions!

[@KristenMcGowan]

🤣🙊

[@pauladelgrosso7203]

Yes Kristen is the most genuine, loving, beautiful soul! ❤️❤️

[@leewillers4621]

Kristen this is wonderful! What a difference you made for him.

[@germainelowe5637]

Oh my goodness Kristen, you absolutely knocked it out of the park. The decor pieces are stunning, and your design brings a whole new level to making this space a home. I am definitely going to check out Castlery furniture. Do they deliver to Canada? 😊

[@nwmomman]

Great job, Kristin! I love Jon's reaction too!

[@memecats5698]

All I can think of is a white couch in a guys apartment, need I say more. Lol

[@Tikkibombom]

Why, do men pee on sofas?

[@michelleheeson9536]

You have made his apartment a home, you have such a good eye for this. Xx

[@K.T-]

I don't like all the pictures mixed above the TV and around it too much! And the coffee table fine just does not go in that space It's too big and bulky for one something lighter more simple should have been there instead...

[@angieandersen0705]

So nice, this place is so beautiful transformed ❤!

[@josephreyes663]

Wow! I am speechless! The makeover looks amazing! I started crying and smiling when John saw the transformation! Awesome job!
