extreme room makeovers : favs and fails

[@nexsilver]

When you realize you have seen all these transformations already. How nostalgic! How far you’ve come! Keep going❤🎉

[@kumariaprajita4871]

Soo true ... Was going to comment d exact same thing

[@rosevanstaden4562]

Riiiiiiight I totes agree

[@Iamtheartists]

Right ? I always forget I’m a fan from “way back when “

[@krystalreyes6499]

Can’t believe I’ve been watching since pre-office #1 !!

[@lmarie7555]

Gabi found out she was allergic to the shiplap walls!! I remember seeing it in a vlog of hers! That’s why she changed her room!

[@axcvilla]

I miss "Upgrade my Stay" - I loved watching you guys going to these cabins. It was soooo ambitious and you always tried to do something different.

[@meeomelovescookiesandhisto459]

As much as I love the whole team, I hope we will get semi-regular OG Kelsey and Becky videos forever :) Been here since the halloween costume tutorial days so this was such a fun trip down memory lane for me, can't imagine how many memories your videos hold for you guys!

[@TheSorryGirls]

we still do be filming together tons!! dont worry 😘

[@Bkate23]

You are so right, it made me so emotional to see them say hi together, nowadays even when they do videos together they are not together in the shot. I missed this.

[@quadbox]

I know. I forgot how great they are together!

I feel the same!!

[@rileylawson9958]

This makes me realize just how long I’ve been watching y’all lol

[@gwynethcordero8277]

Same !!

[@MarisaR]

Solution for the outdoor bulbs: hang a heavy duty "guide" wire up first, then use black zip ties to hang the lights to the guide wire. That way the wire isn't pulling on the lights strand and the weight is more equally dispersed. Then you can add the bulbs after you put the cord up to reduce chances of dropping the wire and thus breaking bulbs. Plus a black guide wire becomes almost invisible when it's hung so no decor problem either!

[@MooseMadam65]

This is 100% the way to go!! We did this at our house as well after initially planning to just hang it how Becky did. I hadn’t really done any research beforehand but ended up searching for a tutorial and it was so much easier. Ours have been up for 2 years now with no issues!!!

[@meeomelovescookiesandhisto459]

Also, loved getting to hear about the struggle Becky had with the lights. I think it'd be really fun for us to hear the stuff you didn't show in the video back then or what you learned from a specific makeover, what you'd do differently now etc. I think it'd also be fun to take an old makeover project and have that be your inspiration for a new and updated version/ spin on that same project :)

[@JL11775]

The office bathroom makeover is my favorite. What a beautiful transformation! You ladies are so creative…and you got skills! 👍

[@lilMissAdoria]

That's my fave too! The moody tone really sits well with my depressed cave dweller aspects, but with gorgeous accents and features . 🤣

[@reneediprose3396]

I would love to see a video where you talk through your worst DIYs/renovations and discuss what went wrong and what you'd do differently! Could be really cool/interesting lessons to hear 😊

[@kingkendyl]

the update my stay garage / rec area was so incredible. it was like if a space was made up of every thing i’ve saved on pinterest boards.

[@wie_po]

Your background for this video is such a vibeeee I love how yall finally used the pretty doors, it looks so glamorous and fancy. It's giving rich people afternoon tea.

[@thepeachyhomeco.472]

🥺 what a perfect book your team put together. Flipping through the years of makeovers .. you guys have created so many COOL SPACES. This video made my morning 🥰

[@TheSorryGirls]

we really need to keep adding to it!!

[@natalyaporter5730]

@@TheSorryGirls perhaps when you do some more, you can make a part 2

[@Glub2]

I think my favorite makeover featured in this vid was the office bathroom! It’s the kind of vibey bathroom I’d love to visit in a bar and take pictures/selfies in. My only gripe is us viewers never get to see it in other vids cause, well, it’s a bathroom lol 😂 edit: also I love your guys’ energy in this vid, you both seem really happy and in sync and I love to see it ♥️

[@jennersjam]

Your upgrade my stay series is one of my very favorite things you do. Also when you work on fellow KZbinrs/influencers spaces. I love your style and it’s given me confidence to do what I want in my house and who cares what other people think I’m the one that lives here.

[@axcvilla]

I love that this video actually shows your growth as a channel and as stylists and DIY-ers. Good job, girls! Here's to bigger and better!

[@bripatrick]

I love the inspiration you’re taking from Vogue, AD, etc. but for your genre and channel! What a fun trip down memory lane I really loved the platform concept you did for your old loft office, and the Upgrade My Stay garage space was my favorite of that series!

[@audreyschmitt200]

I loved the creepy bathroom makeover! It totally transformed and feels so moody and luxe. Shout out to the poo poo brown bathroom though, I'm a fan, I will always be a fan of that color choice 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@TheSorryGirls]

The poo poo brown bathroom thanks you!!

[@carowage4367]

This makes me so nostalgic! I remember watching pretty much every single one of these makeovers when they first came out lol

[@flugansomintekomhem]

If/when you do one of those big projects again I would love a behind the scenes video after! I get you can't film everything but little clips here and there with you talking about it would be so fun!

[@acmulhern]

When it comes to drywall there are different types. The one you used for the hood is the basic stuff (which is probably fine tbh), but the one to use is the red drywall sheets. That's the one that's fire proof. And the blue stuff is the water safe drywall. The grey stuff is the standard stuff.

[@reneegibbs28]

I remember all of these! The nostalgiaaaaaaa! I think upgrade my stay has been one of my favourite series you’ve done, the production was *chefs kiss*

[@ggguillemette1375]

This made me realize I've been watching your channel for so much longer than I thought! It was a cute lovely trip down memory lane

[@aakarshaajitpandey4868]

My favorites: 1. Kelsey’s sister’s living room 2. The wallpaper youtuber’s space, even the picky host airbnb makeover

[@insaafjacobs3458]

I feel like your team should've included another makeover from Kelsey's home renovation series, instead of just a controversial one. That's my favourite series on this channel 😀

[@ellat333]

It’s how I found them!

[@szeptacz5342]

Yesss

[@ACC-2929]

It did! The tiny mouse house! Lol.

[@ellat333]

@@ACC-2929 the exact vid that introduced me to a great channel

[@mylifemyrules3528]

that dive bar garage makeover is one of my favorite

[@SarahLynn1330]

Loveddddd the pirate bedroom. Reminded me of a Disney themed room or something in a themed airbnb. Also proud to say I’ve seen all these makeovers

[@sofiaponte7313]

It's so nice seeing that throwback about the makeovers ! You should definitely do one video of fails in the makeovers you already made and how you fixed it... because i feel that with DIYing some times can go wrong not on the exact moment, but sometime after.. !

[@kayday1996]

I really want to see whats in the rest of the book! Its so thick still.. also, you guys could totally sell this as a style guide merch type thing. So cool

[@dhenukita]

A trip down memory lane! Your styrofoam wall makeover inspired Ashley (bestdressed) to recreate it at her rental all those years back and that’s how I discovered her! Also, I remember the challenge with your friends’ (all guys) office space - drilling into the concrete walls! They weren’t drywall and you had to switch to a concrete drill and whatnot. I’ve seen all of these makeovers. Such amazing memories!

[@sgsge645]

Wanted to add a note about the string lights! Those kind are meant to be re-enforced with a galvanized steal cable. Bolt the cable up first, then attach the lights to the cable. Had these in my garden for years and, baby.. Zeus can’t even knock ‘em down 😏

[@Brandyrose111]

My favorite makeovers are the ones like Gabi’s because one that’s the closest to my style (Victorian/pirate-y/Disneyland vibes) but also because it’s very theme heavy and I love a good theme. Definitely hope you guys do more makeovers like that one.

[@lovingmayberry307]

Loved this walk down memory lane, and I still love Kelsey's bathroom color!!! 😊

[@PromisedJubilee]

What good timing! I've been watching the Vogue "My career in looks" videos all week!

[@AprilJayne]

The last loft makeover is my favorite because it’s just my style with the angles, the furniture, the art, colors

[@7373katie]

I recognise this format from the Vogue look breakdown videos! Big props to your team for always coming up with video ideas like this and staying current year after year 👏🏼👏🏼

[@TheSorryGirls]

Glad you like them!

[@susandark5733]

I love our Northern neighbors! Your nod to the US shows me you love your Southern neighbors. Feels so good to share a border with you all.

[@ChosenbyVoters]

The upgrade my stay garage was my FAVORITE thing you guys have ever done! So fun!

[@JlNXED]

Wow I didn’t realize I’ve been watching the channel for so long, it’s fun to look back and see it again, there’s a lot of elements I really love and didn’t focus on the first times around, I’m in love with the kitchen makeover very much and asap science, also the little wall nook and the bar Airbnb makeover are some of my favs there’s lot more that weren’t mentioned in the video, but I love some of the office makeovers, it’s pleasing to see it turn into a productive space, also I love how all the bathroom makeovers have a moody vibe to them, I am all for brown and black and green and wallpaper and wood accent walls

[@laurenau8397]

Funnily enough I just watched Blake Lively's Life in Looks on Vogue. I love the play you guys did on it, I love seeing how far you both have come and how incredibly your brand has developed. I can't wait to see what the next handful of years hold for you guys!

[@blondegurlie07]

I’ve been watching since the beginning beginning of The Sorry Girls and this literally made me emotional. I loved the upgrade my stay garage makeover! Also justice for Kelsey’s bathroom & Becky’s kitchen; they’re both beautiful!

[@whatlolawants2167]

It made me miss the good old Kelsey and Becky room redo's they are so famous for.

[@whatlolawants2167]

Kelsey, I like the brown

[@youarebymyside]

It's ridiculous how well I remember those projects from 2018. So, it turns out I'm with you since 2018. That's a long time. That's amazing.

[@amandaarebel]

I spent most of the pandemic watching and rewatching these makeover videos and I'm glad for this lovely recap. You can watch the process and continual progress that Becky and Kelsey have showcased. Love you guys💕 My personal favourite will always be the the loft bathroom.

[@cathylavorante6871]

So glad I watched this ! I missed the garage make over. Loved seeing all the great rooms you’ve done. You ladies have built an amazing , profitable , dream job all on your own. Don’t let anyones comments her you down. You should be extremely proud. I’ve been watching for a long time and love seeing the growth and friendship between you two.

[@SharlzG]

Actually, the thing I loved the most about this was realising how long I've been a subscriber, because I remembered all of these 😊

[@ayyyyw1415]

My heart is so happy seeing all of these and seeing you two together

[@louisesalg7762]

I think the brown-bathroom-controversy is only a controversy because of the tone of the brown not that it’s actually brown. Because I love a good brown bathroom/space

[@kebert2thumbsup]

I'm not a fan of brown, but XOMacenna recently did her guest bathroom in brown and it's gorgeous! The brown Kelsey chose...💩

[@break_the_floor_mother]

I desagree, I really liked.

[@Sapphireblossom22]

Yea it's a doo doo brown. Still like the space though.

[@rocioiribe5841]

It always made me think sad 90s elementary school cafeteria. And also 💩

[@trailblazer225]

Tbf, I think visually it does actually look pretty good. It's just that the connotations of that color are... impossible to ignore given what room it's in lmao

[@Vukovie]

One of my favorite stories was Kelsey’s Making Home series and her backyard being featured in a home magazine back in the day - super neat to see how it looked back in the day and gave some cool backstory!

[@halaalam]

It's funny how I've been here all along, and invested enough to have seen all these videos throughout the years. Fun and stylish makeovers.

[@bonesonstones1]

Ugh, it has got to be so hard for all you guys to get input from literal millions of people on makeovers you do IN YOUR HOMES for YOURSELF. I'm just as guilt here, no shade to anyone, it's just easy to forget sometimes. Thanks for putting up with us!

[@melissasullivan1658]

I know. And I feel absolutely horrible about it but I *still* hate her bathroom wall color. 😬🥺 They both have been through a significant warm brown phase and I’m looking forward to the transition away from it because I personally look terrible in the color and so would never use it for my house. Give me cool colors or give me death!

[@thedustwhispered]

i understand but at the same time, it's all monetized and the engagement is good for their business, so... more metrics is kind of a good thing sometimes?

[@ih8mp]

The wallpaper in the long skinny office bathroom is gorgeous!! I would love that in my next home. Love dark vintage cottagey design.

[@sanjanart5045]

I followed the whole style selected series,I wish you could bring it back🥺👉🏽👈🏽✨

[@sanjanamareddy7480]

I was absolutely in LOVEEEE with the retro garage, the burnt orange checks killed it. Honestly, you guys killed everything love love watching you guys 😍

[@nicolearntz7809]

Loved this video!! Was soooo nice seeing y’all together, reminiscing. Y’all are the OG’s, with the pandemic, I for one, missed seeing y’all together. Cheers to more amazing make-overs and DYI’s! ❤️

[@levim6693]

I've always loved the brown bathroom! The only thing that I see every time it gets shown off though is the grate laying on the wall uneven because the hole wasn't expanded from the old cover. It's the last final touch that would make it perfect 🤌✨ (unless it can't be cut open further cause of electrical or something, of course. Safety first 😌)

[@marys4863]

I really enjoyed watching this walk down memory lane.

[@user-di6cn2ne7u]

The OG foam brush wall is an all time favourite DIY, fumes and all. Looked so good

[@jolenethesimmer9286]

I haven't seen all of these because I'm a relatively new viewer but I did watch a couple of them and my two favourite ones were the ASAP Science one and the Garage Bar - both of those were so cool and well executed! My best friend and I love thrifting and decor so I really enjoy watching what you two achieve by going all in with a project.

[@varshigupta6787]

Fun fact. The first faux wall project was how I discovered your channel! Been loving the videos since then

[@desilu1907]

I freaking loved a lot of these makeovers. Kelsey and Becky the reason Gabi moved out of the Pirate room is because when she asked for it be designed, it was a gift to her bf, now fiancé Colin. They lived in a for a short while and she soon found out that the room aggravated her allergies. So she could breathe better she moved up to another room which was transformed into a princess room for her

[@babygurldancer178]

Okay now I need you guys to look back at your old Halloween costume video! They're part of the reason I subscribed!

[@ginapeterson5338]

Love your channel! I super LOVE your Upgrade My Stay series and honestly can't believe it's not on TV because of how amazing the quality of content, subject matter, and editing it is. I vote more of these episodes! Purdy please!

Seeing this I realised how much I dislike the style selected series. It was so awkward to watch you battle and I think it’s why people thought you didn’t like each other for some time. Happy you left that, I thoroughly enjoy almost all other content you guys create! Keep up the good work!

Hi Guys.....by far my favourite make-over featured here is your office bathroom! This is so spectacular and such a change from the dingy mess you started with. I honestly believed you would never be able to create such a gorgeous space given what you had to work with. Loved it back when and still love it now

[@Eh_musa]

the bathroom makeover is one of my absolute favorites! I love it so much that when I move and the bathroom doesn't have a window or is really small, I wanna do something like this

[@Iamtheartists]

Loved this ! Wish the upgrade my stay in the stone guest house would have been included - loved that one and all the history with the grandmother also Kelsey’s bathroom - like the non controversial part with the shower , tub and vanity 😅

[@Intoxi_katied]

I can’t believe how long ago some of these were! I remember watching them and only just realised they were YEARS ago until this video.

[@MsJosiejo32]

As someone just diving into the interior design/diy world (moving into first owned home in a few weeks) you are both very inspiring for just GOING FOR IT! My bedroom will be navy and lightly space themed, and I'm sooooo excited to make it happen!!

[@shondawade6110]

Happy to say that I saw them all!! I really loved the tiny mouse house because it was so cute and Becky's backyard because I needed it!

When hanging outdoor lights, get a hanging kit! Puts the stress on a wire instead of the light string. They are definitely heavier than you’d think!

[@fransirahome]

So cool, you make all your work on book and nice to see behind the scenes for a lot of them.
