EXTREME Living Room + Kitchen + Dining Room MAKEOVER! 🏠

[@mrspatriciasteele]

Thank you, Drew. I’m having such a lonely thanksgiving and I needed this. I’m making the day special for my small son and this uplifts my day to see you ❤️❤️❤️happy thanksgiving to everyone.. hold onto the ones you love

[@Gemmythebulldog]

Sad u r lonely but making it a special day for your son is so thoughtful and sweet. Happy thanksgiving and glad you are enjoying Drew’s videos😉

[@melissareid640]

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your beautiful son! 💝🙏💝 Thank You for wishing everyone well. 💝🙏💝prayers for your family. 💝

[@leighm]

Don’t worry too much. In the UK they don’t celebrate Thanksgiving and in Canada Thanksgiving is in October. It’s all about how you think about it. Some people don’t have a young son or a son at all, so really in my mind you are highly blessed, so just let your mind understand that you ARE highly blessed and this holiday and even 🕰 time is social constructed. Construct your own happiness and reframe your beliefs to reflect the opposite of loneliness. We are never alone. Your ansctors and Angels are always with you. And you having YOU is the best company anyone could ask for. I’m my own best friend and my best friend is extremely funny, lovable, smart, and always has me feeling accepted and entertained. Good day to you, your best friend, and your son, may you transform and redefine your experience of loneliness, for loneliness is just your imagination challenging you to dig deep to discover yourself 😊.

[@Elong.]

Happy Thanksgiving to you. We’re all family here❤

[@rj4356]

Happy Thanksgiving! 😊 Absence of like minded people, can feel lonely at times but do not fret. You have many thinking of you! Fyi, we're in a new moon right now. Stay positive and set your intentions for what you want to manifest. Have a beautiful day!

[@Jimbonusonza]

Hi Lone Fox Family! We watched the video with family yesterday at my aunt's place for Thanksgiving! We loved all the thought and care Drew put into every aspect of the living room, kitchen, dining area, and breakfast nook. The popcorn ceiling removal alone was crazy to see since we weren't in the home for the aftermath. I can't imagine having done this ourselves with an abatement team, only to find out we have to reapply material in order to have it painted on! That is a cost we would not even be ready for, most likely we'd have to live with that ceiling for a few weeks before we could put together the money to repair it for painting. Everything in the living room and play room space is easily adjustable so we can create a safe space for Julia during the day and rearrange it quickly for guests. We have gates of our own and Drew was kind enough to inform us he ordered additional gates for our daughter to safely play around in the corner. I work from home and my job isn't too intensive, so it's easy for me to set my laptop in the play place with Julia while she has fun with her toys while being supervised. My wife and I are so humbled to be a part of this process! Every single time we will look at that beautiful mural we'll always say to one another "Can you believe Drew and Justin put that together?" and when we are just chatting and eating breakfast at our little nook, we can admire the fixture Drew went out of his way to create for us, especially in the evenings when we're just sitting there sipping on hot chocolate with the light on. Jennifer actually was in the process of staining the kitchen cabinets a similar color to what Drew was doing. She worked on a small area of one of the cabinets just to see if she was doing it correctly and took a break. The next day before she was going to resume work, we actually found out that Drew selected us for the makeover! So we are happy with the choice Drew selected for the cabinets since it matched the color we were going for. We can't wait to see what you have in store for the rooms! I'm of course super excited to see how you went about the office/guest bedroom since it will be my primary space for working, especially once Julia goes to preschool (for now I just work inside of the play pen)! I remember asking you to do something special for Jennifer in regards to the vanity, she's been without one for ten years and I loved that our master bedroom had a space for a proper vanity for her. She really deserves a relaxing space to get ready, I know you'll make it extra special for her! We can't wait for Episode 3 Drew, I need to figure out a way to save these videos on my hard drive! I guess we need to subscribe to KZbin premium? Thanks for watching the video Lone Fox Family and we appreciate and have read all the comments!

[@alexise5376]

I'm so happy that your family was picked for this makeover!! There are websites that allow you to save KZbin videos but it's much safer to subscribe to KZbin premium for a little bit or maybe Drew can give you the videos. Congratulations on this opportunity!!

[@bhappy6088]

I'm so happy for you and wife to have this opportunity. It's truly a gift and a blessing. I'm so glad you're able to see what adjustments you can make so it works for daughter as well. I'm a child safety nerd and I just kept getting anxious over all the not so kid friendly aspects to the decor. Is this your way of seeing it for the first time? This is so exciting and I'm glad you and your family are at the center of it. Happy home make mover!

[@batterbury4477]

Jerome Sonza - thank you so much for your post! A lot of us were concerned that Drew might have missed the mark with some choices but now -NO WORRIES! I never thought that you would be seeing 'reveal' with us at Thanksgiving - so glad you are enjoying the process. And thank you for sharing your home with us!

[@Jina06]

aw!! May the Lord Jesus Christ’s peace and God’s unfailing love keep you all. 🤗🍯 Cheers.

[@NikkiSixxIsMyGod]

I loved how Drew was saying kid friendly on things and then added in things that I was going, oh no, not kid friendly. LOL BUT I thought hey those things look easy enough for mom and dad to move to another area or teach their precious angel not to climb or knock over things. It is what we have to do on lots of things, so I thought meh, no biggie, the design is looking beautiful. Also, glad to know Drew did order gates to keep baby safe. I feel he is so thoughtful on things like that. You and your lovely bride seem to be very deserving of this and I am happy you were chosen. Congrats on the home, baby and makeover! Cas in ON, Canada 💖

[@Betterialist]

Everything literally gorgeous! My only preference would be turning the dining table the other way. In my experience it's not ideal that half of the guests at the table have light from the window on their face and the other side is in "darkness". Just my own preference 🤗

[@fianorian]

Love the look of the mural and the slatted wall. Not so sure of the future toddler friendliness of some of that floor standing decor, but I suppose it could be stored for a few months until baby has got past the stage of pulling up on furniture.

[@AJTheYoung]

Same ! The design looks very good but it’s not kid friendly at all. It’s actually dangerous tbh but yeah everything can be stored I guess

[@MS-zj2mf]

Yes, I have major concerns about a kid and most of the fabric choices and decor.

[@MS-zj2mf]

The martini table is toast with kids.

[@K_B_H_]

I feel the same, and the candle scones in the dining room look dangerous for kids or pets

[@Jen.O]

haha, so true, at that age my son destroyed every pole lamp and loose item we hadn't put up high, lesson learned, we were ready when #2 came along with much better luck.

[@zoeemiko8149]

I love everything except the kitchen cabinets. I've had splotchy stained wood cabinets before & found myself regretting my choice in short order. I ended sanding them all down and applying a wood conditioner before re-staining. Other than that I love everything you did. What you did to the fireplace was brilliant.

[@jojojo724]

Agreed I was surprised he didn't have someone come sand and prep before I knew with just a brush it would end up splotchy I think a rag would have helped but either way. The grain is really beautiful its a wasted opportunity

[@guitargirl4himify]

Hi Drew, I can’t compare myself to your ability, and I love most of what you’ve done but I’m not in love with the kitchen. I don’t like the uneven stain on the cabinets and I think it looks too dark especially with the darker tile. Otherwise, I love some of the free finds you incorporated in this makeover! I especially like the mirror and how perfectly it goes with the entry table. Can’t wait to see the finished look!! Looking forward to number three! Happy Thanksgiving!!

[@ellent2246]

I agree very dark with both cabinets and tile counter tops plus they are hard to clean...grout with food!

[@lemongivesulife]

Agreed, I was hoping he would just paint them white or at least a lighter colour and use nice subtle hardware. The pattern of the wood is kinda ugly in my opinion and there’s already so much interest with that really cool countertop so I think having two very contrasting patterns is never going to work. But making them dark and adding dark hardware was not a good move, especially with the uneven staining. It just looks out of place, especially when the owners asked for light and breezy type of decor.

[@ChubbyKittyMeow]

Agree. I’m not sure why he didn’t colored bricks in the living room and why he didn’t change those tiles at countertop as the owner in previous episode clearly said she don’t like them. Cabinets looks awful, and the whole home is too dark and too brown

[@LynsAlteredArts]

Not a fan of the kitchen cabinets at all, way too dark and dreary and dingy looking. Also a rug under a dining room table, yuck, gross, specially with a small child there’s going to be food all over that rug and it’s going to be in horrible condition in no time at all.

[@georgiakuchinsky]

The editing on this video is a gift to all of us, so fun.

[@proverbwoman5591]

Yes! I love the overlapping when he was rolling out the rugs! So fancy!!

[@brendabrasher1971]

I like the round table better. The rectangular one was so large it overpowered the chairs.

[@katehobbs2008]

And too dark, and angular for a baby

[@RealCheeseOnly]

And much too dark. I saw a lot of dark in the kitchen and dining room (those chairs!) that make me feel like he is missing their original style requests for light and airy cozy boho.

[@sherilynl4038]

round is better for the baby/toddler too. no hard corners

[@northerngirl4666]

Like the round table but it could be darker as it blends in with all the other stuff.

[@sherilynl4038]

@@northerngirl4666 absolutely. that is what bothered me about it after seeing the black, but that was too dark and intrusive feeling. maybe a lil of that kitchen stain (rubbed) would help it

[@Zebsmdz]

I’m not sure I like how this is turning out since there is a small baby in the house and they mentioned wanting a bright and airy look. I love some of the elements though such as curtains and rugs, but the furniture I’m not 100% set. Maybe because the project had such a short deadline and most of the items were from Wayfair, not sure. A tip when staining/spray painting always wear a respirator, when you were spray painting you needed a higher grade mask, and when staining sometimes stain applies blotchy like with the cabinets, if you condition the wood prior to applying the stain it can minimize the blotchy uneven parts a lot and it looks so much better. My comment is not to throw shade at all, I love your channel, your work is inspirational. 💕

[@ValarienWings]

Yeah I agree and actually don't even like the finished project. It doesn't feel livable or comfortable to me. The cabinets are splotchy, the tambour wall is incomplete behind the TV. I love the intention but sloppy mistakes were made which detract from the finished project.

[@samsadie_79]

My only comment about some of the styling elements in the living room is that the blanket ladder, and tall narrow floor lamp and woven vase will be a hazard once the baby becomes more mobile. They’d all be pushed over very easily. Everything that could topple over should be anchored to the wall, and if that’s not possible, then alternatives that are not as easy to push over should be chosen instead. Advice from this momma of 3 boys.

[@stevenmeredith7524]

Love love love this makeover! 💖 I’m going to wayfair to buy those slats behind the tv asap! I wish you would have continued the slats all the way down, that way if they decide to remove the tv from the space you’re not stuck with a half finished wall 😕

[@LynsAlteredArts]

I can’t believe they left it blank behind the TV, I sure hope you can’t see that from the side.

[@lizsample7236]

You have a very organic way of editing your decisions, and you talk your audience through the decisions you make. I appreciate it. It separates you from the pack of 'designers'. You're choices are very smart-- you have the touch that can't be taught. Congrats, Drew.

[@batterbury4477]

Very good video on several levels - VERY GOOD STORY LINE , editing and lighting, the instruction of how-to-do this, and finally- your adaptability to handle problems and set-backs . Yes so much chaos ( asbestos, no couch, missing paneling) would knock most designer's off their game BUT Drew just shines with his positive attitude.

[@proverbwoman5591]

I LOVE the mural idea as artwork! And the scene is so peaceful but modern with the black and white print. Maybe next time just build the frame out on the floor with mitered corners and attach with sturdy frame hangers in the top. You can use museum putty to seal the sides and bottom to the wall. This will be brutal to change out some day because there are so many nails and they have to fill in and repair the drywall and paint now. Just a thought ;)

[@tiffanyarmstrong6065]

Great work on the living room Drew! As Decorators we’ve all made mistakes. The kitchen cabinets and hardware aren’t good. Dark, imposing and splotchy. It would be incredible if your agent could get SW or BM to sponsor a redo. Lighter paint would make such a difference for the family. And a washable rectangle rug for the baby space vs the round one taped down.

[@christinamiranda3329]

could not be more upset with the editing of this video & the execution of this project!!!

[@laurenceandre7460]

I love all the changes you made ! The one thing I would have change was the tile in the kitchen. I think Jennifer said she didn't like it and it was hard to clean. But in just 10 days and so many rooms to make over, you can't totally transform everything. Good job !

[@cricutera1]

[@shelleyplemons1362]

I think you did a fantastic job on everything. The only thing that is not quite my taste, is the dark cabinets in the kitchen I think the space is just too small and not enough light and on camera it appears to be too dark, but everything else I absolutely love!! Also, the editing was extremely creative and cool to watch.

It’s amazing to see how Drew’s style has evolved. I’m sure this family is going to freak out with the results.

[@ceferinocanibano6284]

I Don't Know. They may sell some pieces. The living room is big enough for two sofas and they put four chairs and a tiny, uncomfortable sofa. It looks nice but it isn't practical. But I guess as Way Fair is paying comfortable sofas were not in the budget. And the nook for the baby isn't practical at all. What they had before was safer to keep a baby. There are too many things that a toddler can break. The lamps were too low but that can be fixed later. The problem is that Way Fair is sponsoring and there is not enough choice. Sorry to say. I think he didn't have much option and little experience with young children. But I'm sure he'll get that experience and learn from mistakes.

[@tracygarrett3952]

I was expecting something like Katja Najinski style. Sorry, I know I butchered her name. She's a boho queen with yk s of light wood and boho.

[@angelaarnold4255]

Oh Drew. I taught preschool. Lol. Goldilocks tried the porridge first. Big bowl, too hot, medium bowl too cold, little bowl just right so she ate it all up. Next came the chairs. Big? Too hard. Middle? Too soft. Little chair? Just right but it broke into lots of pieces. She went upstairs. 3 beds… Big, too hard, middle too soft. Little bed was just right. All comfy and cozy. She fell asleep. You know the rest. Lol. I’m loving this house. I can’t wait for them to see it.

[@jandrury125]

Love the wall art in the lounge. Tiled kitchen countertops are a pain to live with and keep clean. Brown on brown with black handles makes a very dark kitchen. I thought she said she wanted to lighten it up.

[@alexmcginness8859]

Same. I personally am not liking the kitchen design at all. I’m guessing they didn’t have a budget to do a whole kitchen renovation which is why a lot of that ended up not changing. Even just changing the tile to granite would have made the kitchen look so much nicer IMO.

[@tracygarrett3952]

I have noticed the same with other new designers. In the beginning, Alexandra Gator's makeovers all looked Ike her apartment, but wow has she evolved! It's a process. You have to get out of your own head and into your client's. I suggest, step back, take a few deep breaths, look at the client's Pinterest. It would be like you expecting dark and moody and ending up with everything light. Drew, you are fantastic, and I think your strength lies in your imagination, such as that beautiful fluted cabinet. That cabinet is what this family would love. More like that!!

I think that is a great idea.

[@enlightndark6671]

FREAKIN FANTASTIC DESIGN STYLE! As a 20 yr painter here's hard lessons to learn SPONGE ROLL POLY WOOD STAIN FIRST thin, THEN BRUSH IT IN ONE DIRECTION QUICKLY TO STOP UNEVEN BLOTCHES & BUBBLES! Poly is THICK & DRIES QUICKLY (unlike drippy stain which is always wiped off with a cloth). Also LESS WOOD FILLER is best on PREVIOUSLY STAINED WOOD because sanding strips the stain & then blotching occurs (it is best to apply pre-stained wood filler with small spatula, or dab it with thinned stain to match wood. (Wood filler ALWAYS ABSORBS TOO MUCH STAIN looking MISMATCH) A SECOND COAT OF POLY THINNED WOULD HAVE SOLVED YOUR BOTCHING ISSUE but would have also darkened wood even more! Hope this helps others!

that mural just captured me. i love artwork & think art & books make a house a home. i could sit there & just make a dozen stories out of that picture. the frame is the perfect touch. its my favorite piece.

[@eyeswideshut2800]

Yeah but where's the link, I'm annoyed.

[@EmJayAnieta]

@@eyeswideshut2800did you ever find it?

[@idakate7]

Great video! It is such a pleasure to watch you bring your design plans to life. There is a calm and peaceful atmosphere that is therapy for me. Thank you!

[@katehobbs2008]

I hope there will be a lot of softer elements. At the moment, so much brick and angular wood and dark elements, angular nook chairs, dark dining chairs, angular tiles in the kitchen, super dark kitchen cabinets. Regardless of design, it has to be COMFORTABLE! Things like the martini table, and the ladder leaning against the wall, will have to go immediately because of the baby.

[@debbiemauthe3185]

Wow you did such a fabulous job. The home looks amazing. What a blessing for this young family. Love it!

[@juliahelland6488]

❤️ the design! That mural 👀 amazing and I want those woven chairs. That mirror was a great find! 👍 I also used Minwax polyshade on some oak cabinets. The oak tends to take up the stain in different shades unless it's made from the same tree. Also use a sponge brush for better application. Can't wait for episode 3. 💯❣️😗

[@batterbury4477]

agree - sponge on stain and wipe off excess -let first coat dry, do again until stain is the depth and rich color I want. I am not sure why Drew NEVER protects adjacent surface from spills or drips - so easy to just put some plastic down on floor and and countertops - but it's his M.O.😄

Drew, absolutely beautiful. You are so gifted. They will definitely love. Lots of beautiful memories will be made in this home. Excited to see the finale. Yvonne

[@edwardshell1289]

Hi, Drew. It’s Yvonne Shell. Do you need me to do something?

[@MsBrowniepuff]

You have since a beautiful gift drew! I’ve shown your videos to my sister and boyfriend and we all love watching your masterpieces come together!

[@hanimbolatianadaricha475]

Almost crying was waiting for the table to be set then next it for next episode😢😢😢. This talent is given you are so blessed !!!

[@barkinatthemoon]

What a great house. I'm not seeing kid friendly furniture in the living room though. You will work your magic I'm sure. My favorite designer!

[@thebalkanstravelbeauty]

I like how you managed to incorporate the kitchen's red plot tiles and from staying outdated at first they eventually became an accent as a colour, material, and pattern.

[@ellend9739]

Ahhh Drew , you are amazingly talented ! What a gift ! Can’t wait till the last vlog of their now beautiful home ! Thank you for your wonderful positive outlooks on all what you do ! Hi from Vancouver. ca . ❤

Your dad coming just warmed me up inside. You're parents are the cutest!

[@mariannerady1137]

What a dream come true! For you and for us

[@sheristaffiery]

Super fantastic decor, I cringed at how large this job was and the way the house looked before you got started. I see your vision coming to life ❤

[@karlairina22]

Omg, DREWWW! this is amazing!! can't wait for episode #3!!

[@vickiezeune7543]

Love the framed picture on the wall. What a wonderful idea! Everything looks beautiful.

[@MissJadeneRenee]

Drew, did you ever realise that there are in fact chairs in Goldilocks and the Three Bears? 🤣

[@sweetbabygirl13]

This might be my favorite of your designs. A few past ones had some impractical elements but you've improved a lot. Every part was well thought out both aesthetically and functionally.

[@ashleeptrs]

the table you got for the breakfast nook is what i have in my dining room. got it at goodwill for $20 & i have very similar chairs, but theyre black. 😊

[@jennifercaligiuri7816]

Drew, you are so talented and you have such a sweet spirit! I love watching your channel and this transformation is amazing. Please keep up the great work!🥰

[@juberoma2429]

Seriously, you have the coolest parents!❤

[@sdeaglefeather]

Awesome Drew. I love the panels behind the TV, it makes the big black box less intrusive. I’m sure it’s a matter of cost, but I see the bacteria waving to the owners from the grout lines. Love the whole area.

[@Lea_ziopel791]

I Love everything you are doing. Its all so beautiful! The only thing I am a bit confused by so far is the kitchen, not sure I like that dark tones of the cabinets combined with the dark red tiles and the even more dark handles🤔

[@rneustel388]

The mural and the wood you added on the fireplace wall are my favorite elements. It’s all looking so good!!

[@sandrapandalesque8903]

Not so sure about the kitchen tiles but the cabinets are looking good. And was also skeptical about the mural but turned out much better than I thought. I think it's so cool that you have this opportunity and one of your fans gets to enjoy your work! Especially with a new house and a young child and with the scary asbestos they're surely glad to have that mental load off their shoulders!

[@tracygarrett3952]

For the most part, I like it. These are my honest thoughts: I think that within six months, if not sooner, that countertop will be replaced. The kitchen and family room are too dark for my taste. I just like bright rooms. Will you be adding additional lighting? Actually, if you happily surprised her with new smooth countertops in a light color, that would look great against the dark stain. Wayfair has nice stuff and excellent customer service!! I bought dining chairs from them, and still love them a few years later. Not a fan of these wheelchair inspired chairs. I think this style will not be around too long. Were they a thing at some point? Did you buy some for your living room and regret it, or was that Arvin? I know you will pull it all together!!

[@lesleytungate2629]

Stunning as normal, I love the editing where there is more than 1 Drew. The world needs more than 1 Drew 😘

[@jeanninef2110]

I love your design style..and you did a great job here too. But the homeowner had said in the beginning video that she 'wasn't fond' of the tiled counter in the kitchen (I thought you'd change it). Also I was surprised that you didn't bring the small wooden slats all the way down behind the television, instead of leaving a white gap there. Loved your idea of the mural, imho having it up over the air vent (cut to fit the slots) would have been better, as it would have hid the ugly vent. (Sarah Richardson, a Canadian home designer has done that many times, and it really is a great idea.) I really do love your designs Drew, looking forward to seeing how you redo the rest!

[@ceer9141]

That mural is EVERYTHING. Love love the cabinets and the wallpaper. All of it is just beautiful! 😍

[@iamDavidaRose]

Drew was adamant about there being no chairs 😂😂😂 in the bear story. It was hilarious.

[@angelagarutti6118]

But I think there was idk maybe just the statement of it makes me remember things that are not true lol

[@aliciasorenson3807]

@@angelagarutti6118 Yes there were definitely chairs also😂

Ok… you have outdone yourself this looks INCREDIBLE
