[@bdeepikareddy5872]

In a world where almost every other home decor channel I watch tries to sell us something, you come in and transform everything with such budget !! You are a gem of a person Fia! So glad to have found you!!

[@user-nlvmruu]

no one is trying to sell you anything you dont have to buy anything you can just get inspired either with free or paid ideas but its not that deep!

[@katherinepereira9088]

Your sister is blessed to have someone like you in her life!

[@karencox3235]

Ok, I have been agonizing over my stock, contractor oak cabinets all over my house. They are old and all in need of a makeover, but I have been truly frozen as to how to get the job done and not lose my mind or my whole bank account. I figured I would paint them enamel white... that's been my mental plan all along, but, being oak, they have deep wood grain and I was thinking all the wood filler, primer, etc. I LOVE YOUR IDEA of just reworking them to still look like wood, but changing the tone!! Ohmigosh! Game changer! Thank you so much! I might just be able to do this now! New sub here!

[@silviahernandez8949]

This is so Pinterest worthy and very realistic which I personally prefer because most of us don't have Pinterest-perfect homes. Thank you for sharing your talent with us so that we can make our homes beautiful with what we have, I love your videos!

[@adam4025]

paint that floor tile like a checker board include that air flow space, will be complicit view and no need any runner there.

[@VivienneRussell]

This was going to be my comment as well. I would just do a diagonal black-and-white floor and paint the vent as well, so if it lands on a black tile, paint it black, or if it lands on a white tile, paint it white or half black, half white

[@kvgalleguillos]

Fía, you’re so down to earth and speak to the budget of so many of us “common mortals” (regular moms and regular humans). You’re God-sent!

[@lorelynleisure4048]

My laundry is in my unfinished basement, this really helped me see what I could do to disguise the furnace and water heater etc. I've been thinking that one of those 80's- 90's bed surrounds (not sure what they're called) would work to give me cabinets on either side and above my washer and dryer. Thank you for the inspiration and ideas!

[@HavenDe]

This is how you do it! Beautiful and well done! ❤

[@judyrosario7342]

Now that is talent Fia!!Anyone with $$$ can go to a showroom, buy what you c n bring it home. But, when you have a budget, it takes lots of creativity n natural talent to make it work and that’s admirable! Fia, You did an amazing job. You always prove that we don’t have to be rich to have a beautiful home. Thank you for your wonderful ideas.❤

[@TheSHTFFarm]

Fia, do you think you could do a detailed episode on just the wood painted cabinets? Or maybe you have. I’ll look. Love this!!! As for the runner/vent: what about cutting a a hole in the runner that will go around vent with that rubbery stuff under runner so it doesn’t move

[@FranciscaGonzalez-gp9mj]

Yes please! I want to do my kitchen cabinets like you did these cabinets 😃

[@Those_little_singhs]

Yes pls. Detailed video on cabinet painting

[@melaniekellermann6646]

Me too! Everything you do is golden! I love your work! Also, is it possible to double check the paint color? I can't find "Chocolate Milk" on the SW site!

[@monicamoreira6460]

Yes please! I also need to paint the kitchen cabinets like you did these. I would like a detailed vídeo, please. Like always, I love your amazing work. Greetings from Portugal

[@sharynjoaquim3074]

Yes! Your kitchen cabinets. The paint and process you used. 🙏🏼

[@TheOfficialWhiteRabbit]

I have to say your design style is magical! You are the best home decor channel on this platform hands down!!!!!

[@susanbon5014]

That room looks fantastic!!!! You really have a gift with design and decorating. I hope you are proud of what you do with all your projects 😊 For the floor - I know this might sound weird but I did see one designer who had a similar situation with a floor vent actually take a runner (a thinner material rug) lay it down, cut an X over the vent area, take the vent cover off, fold a little bit of flaps down into the vent hole, put the vent cover back on so air could continue to flow normally and then they had a rug but without blocking the vent. They could still take the rug up when needed to clean the floors but they just made a whole in the rug to accommodate the necessary vent. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Just a thought. Love your videos 🥰

[@saharshams2497]

the curtain was such a simple yet brilliant idea 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@elainecivi6786]

Your sister is very lucky. You did a great job! And yes it is Pinterest worthy.

[@letiziagallinari222]

What an amazing makeover!!!!!! Wow!!!!! Your sister must have freaked out when she saw it…you are extremely talented …..hello from Montreal canada 🇨🇦 ❤❤❤❤

[@susanwilhite6546]

Awesome makeover, Fia!! You are amazing. What about painting a rug (or rugs) on the floor for pattern/color?

[@janicegardner5027]

Love that idea!

[@sabrinamcneal7865]

You did a fantastic job on your sister’s laundry room! She is definitely blessed to have you as her decorator! Questions…..I recently made changes to my laundry room and wanted to put a curtain to hide the furnace and water heater, but was told that a curtain too close to those items may prevent airflow or may be a hazard due to the furnace. Do you have that concern?

[@heatherreddish9286]

You have no idea how much this just helped me. Thank you.

[@debbiestott3651]

You do incredible things with average spaces. It looks so transformed.

[@carolynratliff1380]

Wow…..you really are the BEST sister in the world!!!!

[@SusanBell-q9g]

Well done! Who cares if it's not Pinterest worthy; this is real life! You made it beautiful!

[@pam9120]

I'm both encouraged and inspired! It's so lovely to see a young person making something beautiful with reclaimed things and imagination. I've been making something out of nothing for over 60 years in order to make my family home a place we could be proud of. It's also the foundation of my business. Keep up the good work!

[@FiaGarciaDIY]

That’s so sweet! Thanks for sharing your story, it’s so inspiring!

[@carriekowal5123]

Our Queen FIA has done it again!!! 👏 Love these videos ! Looks beautiful! I would do a thin washable runner & cut out where the floor vent is, with a heavily patterned rug it wouldn't be very noticable .

[@rachaelbruesch6306]

[@nicoleinfante2276]

No money makeovers are my favorite! Would love to see more!

[@marnidillon8659]

ABSOLUTELY! $10 is $10!❤ like the idea of one out and one in.

[@amyromersberger394]

Such a great makeover! You stretched a dollar & still created an expensive looking space! I LOVE your videos, your style & your advice.

[@barbb.7028]

I'm amazed at what you did with little cost. It looks wonderful. I'm sure your sister is very grateful.

[@karenokeane6461]

GENIUS hacks....especially LOVE how well your uber easy painting technique transformed those cabinets. About the floor you were asking ....maybe some cool stencils?? Obviously in a very durable floor grade paint. Fleur de Lis pattern on a few of the tiles might compliment the 'stone' backsplash nicely. :)

[@carolynratliff1380]

I got these black rubber mats with small holes in it and I ran ribbons on the outer holes…it’s adorable

[@lovingyourlifetoday]

I would paint the floors.. also how about adding a wood top or a solid piece that covers both the washer and dryer.. it would keep things from falling in between.. also everything looks great

[@bitrudder3792]

Less is more for the floor! I like it as-is! For maintenance reasons, it's just perfect right now. I would also have mentioned the annoyance of trying to do laundry with backpacks sticking out into the walkway space. I'm not sure that putting them behind the door solves that crowded factor when the door hooks are literally loaded up, but wow, it looks so much better with that molding you put up!

[@maryadiutori4085]

I love the color change in those cupboards

[@creativethoughtsafy]

Beautiful. This is by far my favorite room makeover. I love the fact that you turned an eyesore into something pinterest worthy. ❤❤

[@tlanc1283]

Love the stone-look backsplash and the cabinet door transformation!

[@bonnietrant5252]

Floor paint n stencil

[@michelleheryford4592]

Totally agree

[@dianaarney6667]

You have such an amazing vision for creating! Love this video!

[@tabithaa1386]

Great video, Fia! Thank you for the inspiration! For the floors, I was thinking you could try peel and stick floor tiles! Some of them are really pretty! Looking forward to your other videos!

[@sandybitter4609]

Wow, those cabinets got a serious upgrade! ❤️

[@deltatango6793]

idea for your sister‘s laundry room floor: at Home Depot, you can buy 6 x 8 ($25) or 8 x 12 ($50) vinyl floor mat *remnant* (from that big roll of vinyl flooring, similar to carpet, that you can get cut at a width of 12 feet and you pay per square foot or per linear foot…) When HD gets to the end of the roll, they roll it up pieces to sell as “remnants”… you really don’t need to glue them down.. you can easily cut them to fit quite perfectly in a space… I used them to cover up my orangey wood floors in my apartment! The downside is if you want to get several rolls of it to match, even though the cost per square foot is really good, the stores get what they get and you can’t search for specific patterns online ahead of time.. the website mainly shows a black and white checker by default, but they have other tile or wood prints in stock too … You just have to go into the stores that carry it and look through what they have… But they tend to get new ones in every week or two and more than likely will get another roll of the design you may need more of in the near future… for a small space like your sister’s laundry room, she should be totally fine with a 6 x 8 roll and then have extra to use elsewhere! PS you can easily cut it to fit over the drainage vent thing on the floor as well :-)

[@jennifershort1898]

I love this type of video! Great job!

[@BunnyBomb76]

I love this makeover! For the floor, you could do a canvas rug, cut out where the vent is and stencil a design that helps it blend in, or stencil right over the vent so it disappears.

[@shaunwalker6651]

AWESOME, BEAUTIFUL I call this thinking out the box. All of us have a artistry and this yours you are a very visual person.

[@sarahwood3888]

While getting a house ready to sell this Summer, I took a basement laundry room, and , did essentially the same thing. It was a good size, and curtains on each side of the appliances, hot water heater and furnace on one side, and a good amount of storage on the other, behind the curtains. As for the floor, I painted it, then stenciled on the tiles. Looked great, and did not impede on the door opening!!

[@nadinemclaren2057]

It turned out beautiful 😍... maybe carpet tiles and cut the hole for the vent.

[@valeriejensen983]

Oh I soo love everything that you changed it is beautiful and I'm sure your sister is ecstatic over the awesome change! ♥️🙏👍

[@JLoz1852]

Looks amazing and so many things can be hidden behind that curtain too 🤣🤣 your still the bestest 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@jannibal9273]

That looks GREAT! You've inspired me to do a little cleaning up and camouflaging in my own small laundry room space in the basement.

[@janicegardner5027]

Gorgeous! Maybe you can put down some stick on tiles for design on the floor or paint/stencil that area.

[@naomirichard1570]

Great job! I love the way you changed those cabinet doors!

[@Eegajd]

Ok since you asked what we would do for the rug situation around the vent… I would buy a super low pile rug runner and carefully cut out space for the vent and screw it in over the rug, and use rug tape to tape down the rest of the runner so it’s not floppy or movable. This could be so good 🙌🙌🙌🙌 I looooove what youve done for your sister

[@maryanngastaldo6751]

WOW!! SOOOOOOOOOOOOO amazing!!!! It's MORE THAN Pinterest-worthy!!!!!!! I am blown away by the transformation!!! And on a budget as well!!!!!! WOW!! Well done (as always!) Fia!!!!

[@amandabacon9770]

Yesss I've just curtaind and tension rodded everything ugly in my house😂😂Cost me nothing but gives me soooo much pleasure Love you channel FIA Love from Yorkshire England xx

[@gaillangford280]

As usual, nicely done. Have a great day.

[@yvettemena2024]

What a wonderful job you did! Definitely pin worthy!

[@kathryncurry8728]

Wow, I wish you were my sister! That transformation is fabulous 😮

[@TheKidnikki]

This transformation is stunning!! Such simple and doable DIYs and great tips with shopping Goodwill outlet! 😁👏🏾

[@horrisajones8933]

Absolutely gorgeous transformation ❤

[@suehy4054]

“Not Pinterest worthy” I respectfully disagree! It’s fabulous and real, and must make your sister smile and have peace when she sees it! Well done!

[@FiaGarciaDIY]

Awe thank you so much!!!

[@MickeyC321]

Lovely, calming , creative, smart AND perfect!

[@michelleadams8309]

Really great job. 👍 Very relatable. Thrifty. Smart. Thanks for sharing. 😊

[@Audrey-km9in]

What a lovely transformation, Fia. No doubt your sister was thrilled with the outcome. Bravo!

[@suecox2308]

The little room looks amazing now--fresh and spacious and stylish. Tile can be painted, btw, and it might be fun to stencil a design on the floor to get the pattern you were thinking of.

[@micheleleveto6622]

Love the transformation on a Zero Budget. Looks great!!

[@marybronson442]

Absolutely love what you’ve done so far! Stencil the floor, so many patterns, you can use any color you like. You won’t need a rug. I ordered from Cutting Edge Stencils for my bathroom floor, turned out AHHHMAZING!

[@sarahw.2600]

One of those pebble rock shower mats would allow air to pass through the vent and still add texture!

[@annw1395]

It looks amazing, and I love using leftovers from other projects -- helps the landfill and the budget! One caution: having a curtain in an area near a flame for a furnace or water heater may be a hazard. Also, is there a requirement for a certain amount of air circulation for a flame system? Something to check out before a project. Maybe a lattice would work if the curtain is contraindicated.

[@mommygarcia9137]

Wow ! The color on the cabinets looks beautiful !

[@jacquelinerodriguez-louis3490]

That was an incredible no cost make over! Many blessings.

[@mrswendell]

I would spray paint the vent cover to match the flooring so it doesn't stand out so much. A rug would help too. Or painted floors. Love your channel! Great ideas and inspo! :)

[@linashomecreations1696]

Your sister is so lucky to have you ❤ it looks so much better

[@jessicaruiz9676]

Definitely Pinterest worthy. Great job!

[@JamieBriggs-r1m]

You are amazing! It looks great. Your sister must be so happy!!!

[@ivannarobles1404]

I love love what you did with the cabinets!

[@crimequeencreates8248]

For the floor, you can get peel and stick tiles in many different patterns that go right over the existing tiles.

[@estherslingerland3098]

Amazing AND pinterest worthy :) If you get a flat rug, you could cut a hole for the vent and pop the vent cover back on.

[@ginarhodes2855]

Fantastic Makeover!!! You always amaze me with your makeovers and craft projects. Thank you so much for sharing. For the rug situation. How about trying a secondhand thin rug. Then unscrew the vent and cut out that part of the rug. Get some longer screws and screw in the vent cover back in place. Also, you could try to camouflage the vent cover with a little paint to match the color of your rug. Wow, just saw the comment below. Great minds think alike. Thanks again!!! .

[@FiaGarciaDIY]

I’m so glad you liked it! I am so on board with your rug fix!

[@jaimeloudenslager8816]

Do you have a tutorial on how you did your front door or at least the colors and what type of wax

[@susieonthefarm]

Paint the floor tiles and stamp a pattern on them. I really enjoyed this video and am inspired to do a couple of these hacks in my laundry room!

[@suzy1676]

Great makeover! ❤ the Girl Math!😂

[@glennamanos7384]

Love it. You could buy a flat type rug, well there all flat lol but low pile and cut the vent shape out of the rug? Then either just push the vent threw the opening and the edge would hold rug in place. You could also buy some double sided rug tape. But this makeover was a 180° from what it was.❤

[@kristimurphy1164]

I love floor flats from Carolina Creekhouse. I have a runner in my laundry room. Low profile, easy to clean and lots of fun patterns

[@carolwhiting4247]

I have seen Alexander Gater cut a vent hole out of a rug then place the vent frame over it. It looked great.

[@kellieroth9108]

Love this!!! Take a runner and cut out a hole for the vent.

[@tiffanysmith2255]

Girl, I love all of your videos so excited to catch up!! My idea and suggestion for the line room is to paint a design paint your rug on that tile you can do that and it looks pretty damn awesome! :-) Love your channel❤

[@funsahw]

exceptional! The cabinets look really amazing.

[@FiaGarciaDIY]

Thanks so much! I’m so happy you like them!

[@MLCruz13]

You are the master. Nice job. So creative.

[@wandacamarigg12]

What a great improvement on a budget. Thanks for all that you share. I really enjoy watching.

[@kateb.516]

Hi Fia, I have seen some people who have screwed off the cover of the vent, put a runner over it and made a cut out in this area. Then they put the vent cover back on top of it. So they had a pretty runner and a functioning vent! Greetings from Germany. ❤

[@debbiegordon7622]

Love this makeover..just an idea..why not get a rug and do a cut out to fit over the vent ..my cousin did that in her house and looks great..

[@FiaGarciaDIY]

That is a great idea, I'll have to try that!

[@carolynnspencer2171]

Your sister is so lucky to have you! You made a huge difference in this space. Very inspiring!!

[@LeighWalker-dd9bg]

Beautiful. You are so talented. I would think about painting the floor

[@deequarles5675]

Hi Fia, both Wlmrt and $ General sale flat runners less than $10 that would fit the space. Cutting an opening in the rug for the vent (like you would carpet) would work perfectly. 🔆 Great Job! 👍

[@kristinepeters5039]

Stock on floor tiles would look great in there.

[@claireobrien8385]

linoleum/vinyl mat for the space behind the door -- amazon and etsy have some cute vintage tile print ones. you could do the runner size, snd then just cut out the space for the vent.
