EXTREME OFFICE MAKEOVER | DIY POTTERY BARN INSPIRED ROOM MAKEOVER ON A BUDGET

[@julielefevre4184]

Lovely room makeover. The shelf styling tips were very good. The only thing I would like to see is more of an overall picture of the room instead of just close ups.

[@mommygarcia9137]

Yes I agree !

[@whatlolawants2167]

Oh Sweetie, the memorial for your Dad is the best.❤

[@carolynharr8256]

I just found your channel and enjoy your ideas and style very much! I would love it if you lingered longer on the final look, as in the case of your shelf styling. I wanted to soak it in and study it using the principles you taught. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@janhaley1212]

I purchased the wall sconces for my good friend from Amazon. They were $13 for 2. I admire you for putting a tribute to your father in your office. I didn’t have a picture I liked of my father in law so I purchased a colored seed catalog from where he worked dated 1943. It cost $40 at an antique store. The 30 page catalog fit in a frame exactly. It looks amazing in my wall gallery. I have several items in my home that remind me of my family, even a large hand drawn colorful map of Iowa. Thank you for sharing how to style a shelf. I know I could do it now. I’d just go shopping in my house or decorating closet. My Christmas tree even tells the story of our life just like my home. It’s very comfortable. No one else has the same things I decorate with. Thanks again, Jan

[@nicoleshelley5186]

Love the way you honored your dad.

[@jenpink4298]

I’m only part way through the video but I’m gonna pause it right now and say that I absolutely love the way you put together the guitar and the music in honor of your dad. That is absolutely lovely!❤

[@nancylucas4231]

Love your channel. I understand using bookshelves as display spaces for décor. My concern is for households like mine who have hundreds of books to store/display on bookcases--it seems that more and more people are only using bookcases as points of display and not for actual books they read and use routinely. I volunteer in the community teaching healthy cooking schools and lifestyle medicine classes so I have over 100 cookbooks and references for health and wellness, and I have hundreds of books that I use for work and my hobbies. And my children have hundreds of books that they collect and curate on their interests. (y es, we use Kindle and online ebooks, etc, but these will never replace all of our physical books.) I would love any suggestions/ideas?

[@mariaeverhart2837]

It looks like it’s probably really amazing. I’d love to see how the whole room came together as well as a closer look at the shelves. But it’s all so light and bright and refreshing

[@SaraOsborn]

I love your note about the side table. Something that works, very affordable until you find the ‘just perfect thing’, less waste in the mean time

[@FiaGarciaDIY]

Thanks Sara!

[@Craftcrazywithme]

Loved this video ! Teaching the balance of decorating things on shelves but then you went that extra mile by sharing the most heart touched addition to your room ! Absolutely my favorite Your framed song with dads guitar ! kudos on the ultimate touch of the most priceless conversation piece without having to put the heartache of a photo. Well done. and I will have to do this with my dads memorabilia that I have as I lost him last April. Its like you threw a priceless moment in time onto your wall, I just love it and thank you abundantly for sharing some of the things you share as I know they have to be very emotional but in a good way so thank you your awesome please never stop sharing lol Long live the memories of our loved ones until we meet again!

[@FiaGarciaDIY]

Thank you so much!

[@olgamoraiti]

I totally feel you… I lost my brother recently and I can’t have his photos around. It hurts badly. Instead, it feels a lot better to have some of his things, his medals etc. The makeover is great, enjoy this room!

[@JeriBond-r6v]

I love what you did to honor your dad. I enjoy every video because of all the tips you share!

[@FiaGarciaDIY]

Thank you so much!

[@סימוןשלומי]

I have been with you long enough to remember the tragic passing of your dear father. What a beautiful memorial corner in your office! I agree that looking at a picture can be really heart wrenching even after a long time. Hope your Mom is doing well.❤

[@FiaGarciaDIY]

Thank you so much for your support!

[@donnad.7986]

The candles were a genius idea… I’d of never thought to hang them that way. I really love everything you recreate you are so talented & such an inspiration! Definitely my favorite creator!!!! Now can we just take a moment to reflect on the memory wall. 💔😔 Oh my ❤ skipped a beat… that my friend is absolutely precious. I know your father is looking down on you with such pride. Many thoughts & 🙏🏻 for you.

[@FiaGarciaDIY]

Awe thank you so much for your support Ms Donna!! You are the sweetest ever!

[@angelicamercado4700]

My favorite touch was the guitar for your dad, you are so talented ❤ loved the over all look

[@TarraLHudson7]

I loved the tribute to your dad 🥹

[@MamaCindi5453]

All of the things that you created over the years are absolutely beautiful!!!! I absolutely love all the things here, especially the tribute/memorial of your Dad🥲. You’ve given me the idea to do this for Mom who passed away 7 years this month. She loved the violin and the harp. Thank you so very much for sharing. ❤❤ 🤗

[@carriekowal5123]

Queen FIA! Looks so open & airy , but I loved your moody office too! Love the tribute to your Dad ❤

[@FiaGarciaDIY]

Thanks so much love!!!

[@letiziagallinari222]

I loved the song that ur dad sang to u placed in a frame above the guitar…..everything looks amazing!!!! Congrats ……like i have said so many times before in the comments …U r so talented ❤…..love ur videos and always look forward to watching them on Sundays ….hello from Canada xoxoxo

[@FiaGarciaDIY]

You are so sweet! Thank you so much!!

[@MsKatillac]

Love the memorial to your dad! You did an awesome job on the reupholstered pieces and great way to reimagine those candle holders on the wall.

[@shannonoconnor3853]

Your office makeover looks amazing! I love that you placed your dad's guitar and framed a favorite song that your dad used to play for you and your sister on the wall of your office, and that you sing the song for your children. It's a wonderful way to always have your dad near you. I am the same as you...I have a hard time seeing photos of my dad, too, who passed away in 2016. I have a magnetic photo of my dad playing with his cat Chessie on the front of my fridge. He was laughing in the photo, so it makes me happy knowing he was enjoying playing with his cat.❤

[@FiaGarciaDIY]

Im so sorry for your loss. It's so hard. Thank you for your support!

[@Metalsmithnna]

Such a beautiful way to honor your dad, Fia.

[@FiaGarciaDIY]

Thank you!

[@marieconway6600]

Beautiful!!! I understand how you feel about seeing a picture of your father daily. I felt like the only way I could get through grieving the passing of my mom was to not see her picture everyday. I want the remembrance but seeing her face , even 4 years later, it was not easy

[@gatheringmoss5726]

My favorite part is the tribute wall for your father.

[@sophialu7155]

The paint color is the best part

[@brittneyrhodes9084]

Fia, you never cease to amaze me. Love the section dedicated to your dad. You are such an inspiration. Always look forward to your videos.!

[@janspeed2071]

Looks so good Fia! Love the tribute to you Dad ❤️

[@jennifergraham3752]

The mementos of your Dad are perfect and beautiful. ❤ I am the same, I’m not ready to have photos up of my parents but I do have many special things of theirs around my house. The candle sconces are a brilliant adaptation! I have seen that exact set of candle holders at the thrift store a few times but wasn’t into them on the bar and I prefer taper candles. Next time they come up I may have to grab them. Did you screw the eye hooks into studs or are the holders light enough to hang anywhere along the drywall?

[@FiaGarciaDIY]

Great question!! They are actually light enough that I was able to just screw them into the drywall and they stayed put!!

[@debbymodd4579]

Beautiful transformation. The wall of candles is my favorite.

[@FiaGarciaDIY]

Thank you!!

[@MsDeanie1]

I can’t pick a favorite because all thrift makeovers are great. Your office is amazing 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@shelly1224]

I loved the candle diplay on the wall. Everything is nice though.

[@FiaGarciaDIY]

[@terrytt2932]

Love what you do! New office is very nice but I loved the old one, too. Your tribute to your dad is precious. ❣ Just a reminder to everyone; Look at green in nature. It ALL blends no matter the tone. Almost all greens go together!

[@robynmcculley828]

Perfect display for his guitar ❤

[@LeAnn512]

You are incredibly talented So addicted to your show Beautiful tribute to your Father❤🙏🏻

[@FiaGarciaDIY]

[@january1227]

You did great! ❤ I love the way you hung the big sconces on the wall.

[@FiaGarciaDIY]

Thank you so much!!

[@GabrielleMcHargue]

My dad passed away a month ago and his guitar is just sitting in my office. LOVE all the inspiration in this video, but that one is my favorite. Thank you for the idea

[@DH-qz2so]

Great Makeover! I find, when using "Place Holders" in our home, for light fixtures, small furnishings, etc... it ends up that those items never get replaced! So when we built the current house that we are in, and lighting was a huge thing to figure out, the hubs said, oh, just get whatever for now and we can change it out later on! Well, I know how that goes...so I made sure I went out, found something I could live with, knowing it would most likely end up staying!

[@lindamarlow4663]

The office looks great. Such a great memorial to your Dad. Such a clever idea to remember him by.

[@katrinawilkins-rf9pv]

All your videos are so good! I look forward to them every week! I love the memorial for your dad.

[@FiaGarciaDIY]

You need your own decorating show on how to have a high end look on a thrift store budget. HGTV doesn’t know what they are missing

[@FiaGarciaDIY]

Hahaha thanks Valerie!

[@tumalou]

I recently visited the Hartville Thrift Store based on your praises of it and I was not disappointed. I LOVED it and can't wait to go back

[@FiaGarciaDIY]

Yay!! Thanks so much for watching!

[@anastasiarn7781]

The concept of the guitar was my favorite. ❤❤

[@wavyliketheocean3486]

Happy Sunday gorgeous lady. I love that blue grey color in your office space but I hear ya on changing 😊 you did such a gorgeous job with the ottoman your home is absolutely stunning with your talents and skills. I am getting back into doing my decors and bigger projects thanks to your inspiration 😊 in honor of your dad that’s beautiful. Very beautiful pieces and thank you so much for another inspirational video and my favorite was the guitar the ottoman and everything just looks amazing. 💜💙🌈🦋💗

[@thedailymakermaking]

Thank you for sharing your thought process for the shelf styling! We are moving soon, which means we will have to reassemble on the other end, and this is ENORMOUSLY helpful! ❤

[@mslil65]

Not even halfway through the video yet, but stopping to say that I just love how creative you are!!! Repurposing the dome pendant to a blanket basket and then repurposing again for your light...love it!

[@FiaGarciaDIY]

Thank you so much!!

[@dragon-acrocantho]

Super awesome sharing. Happy week 😊

[@annw1395]

It's beautiful, and you've done an expert job, as always, and I liked the explanation on styling the shelves. You didn't show us "after" shots, though, of the room. Even tho it's beautiful, I preferred/ LOVED that gorgeous blue. Could it be used on an accent wall so the room isn't dark? Also, altho everything is beautiful, there's little function. My office needs drawers for pens, pencils, rulers, staplers, envelopes, etc. Larger items include files, 3-ring binders, computer, printer, printer paper, other electronics and their cords, in/out boxes, shredder, books, and so on. Ie: where and how do you store your functional items and equipment? I need function first, then if there's extra room, then we can talk decor. Your decorating skills are amazing, but there's more than to living in a house than just having it look pretty. That's your house --- where do you put those things that i mentioned? Thx.

Love your channel, you are so clever! Here is a thought since your shelves are large between shelves how about a painting that cover half the width just a thought -keep up the great work. I am always excited to see what is next.

[@leegalloway9508]

You could also cut down legs from side table after you find the one you want and use it for a plant stand.

[@FiaGarciaDIY]

Very true!!

Nice. A few videos ago you tiled the inside of a tray with travertine tiles. Those same tiles would look great on top of that $5 table, and match the color scheme.

As much as I love your channel and your close ups, I can't help noticing that your videos are lacking distant shots. I can't really see the overall result of the make over. I think you should consider it next time.

[@FiaGarciaDIY]

It's difficult to get farther back in this particular space because there are walls that I can't back into any farther. I will keep this is mind though going forward for larger spaces.

Why show end results right in the beggining of the video? It is taking from surprise at the end, when you already saw make over. Every youtuber does that and I don't understand why. I wanna be surprised 😅
