From Drab to Fab | How to Refresh and Update Your Home

[@porschehamilton9717]

I'm 34 and found you while in high school and begged my parents to let me study interior design. Of course they said no so I've worked the last 15 years in accounting. Today I enrolled in interior design school bc of you. I'm addicted to symmetry, scale and quality in a room and I learned from you! Keep on posting!

[@kathyklarfeld2971]

That's incredible! Good for you for pursuing your passion!!!

[@iannone39]

Congratulations and your learning from a terrific teacher too. 👍👍👍

[@kimi6767]

You will love it!

[@susananders3834]

As a fellow accountant, I am able to pick up a lot from Rebecca as she emphasizes symmetry. Accounting is all about balance, symmetry, and form. I would personally expect that your years in accounting will give you some foundation in design. When I went back to my school for a PhD (in accounting, of course!), that calculus that was so hard when I was an undergraduate, was so much easier. I had just spent 15 years in accounting doing "word problems"! Best wishes for your new adventure.

[@charlenedimonte]

Omg! My mom said the same - no - and I went into accounting! Biggest regret of my life. 58 and still love design!!! Rebecca is the best teacher.

[@alicenieto3162]

Hater comments are just jealousy. Your decorating is amazing. Thank you for sharing all of your fantastic tips.

[@cherrelwilliams2980]

You are an expert sharing beneficial details. I loved how you changed around decor in your home without going to the stores.

[@karensmith1243]

Oh, how I look forward every week to hearing your design tips, and all the fun and laughter you bring with it is a bonus ❤. Here's to 15 more years (at least) on KZbin! YOU are the best!!!

[@SpeakTruthBeKind]

Thank you for sharing.💞 I enjoy reading the comments left by others as well as watching your channel. 👍🏻

[@jkim9972]

Thank you. Your three series on "design mistakes"' deserve an Oscar especially because you showed us how to it on a budget I.e scaling, symmetry, rearranging, etc😍. I am not even a designer and my house is now FAB. May your cup overflow with blessings

[@craftywabbit9547]

"zipper side down, on, karate"...yup I've learned something I will never forget! Nice vid Rebecca, tfs 🤩

[@nancyjensen6324]

Every time you said " Alexa" she answered in my house! Too funny! Great Video, Rebecca. I find inspiration in almost all your videos and love the way you break down all the design tips so that we can all use them in our homes.

[@heidir2692]

Mine too! Got a great chuckle out of it because she just couldn’t figure out what to do. Great video and inspiration.

[@rebeccarobeson1]

LOL Nancy... I always forget about that when I'm filming. So sorry hon :-) RR

[@lucyr.7087]

My Alexa also tries to answer to Rebecca demands. lol

[@besso8372]

And still you look young, elegant and very bright with a big sensor of humor!!!!

[@kyriacosandeliannaskouroup1829]

Rebecca. I think you’re so good at this. Honestly. You just get better and better. Unsubscribed when you were working with your daughter as it felt you were holding back. I now have re followed and can’t get enough of your videos. 😊

[@zehraatique8495]

No overpowering or loud or unnecessary expensive items to decorate your style is totally based on personal style that everyone can easily achieve once we learn to balance and execute thanks for sharing your home is looking awesome and cosy all the furniture placements are just perfect

[@rosewhalen5456]

Was so glad to hear your thoughts about window treatments. Curtains or drapes add so warmth to a room I love it.

[@wendyjohnston9576]

Can we have the amazon drapery link!

[@carlettagoodrich-mann1377]

From drab to fab. RB you are an excellent designer. First step is lighting .

[@janetjohnson9690]

Congratulations Rebecca 15 years of self made content and you're still here, there isn't any TV shows that last that long, hell some marriages....points is you're still relatable and relative and that's something to celebrate. Thank you for your content and positivity.

[@jackiejones5037]

Rebecca ROCKS!!!!!🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤. Excellent interior designer!!! I love her work, her tips, and her advice!!!! Thanks so much!!!!!!

[@lorraine_life]

So glad to see the added component of plants. They are a bonus texture and such variety.

[@maureenlangerfeld8489]

I LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! UR entryway lamp!

[@Paulabalch]

I love your videos and watch them repeatedly. Thanks.

[@sjones6507]

I love Fine Art America! I feel so validated 😊

[@jalov3268]

Who could hate?? Love your design and how you make it doable for real ppl. These other videos with such expensive fabrics and custom everything are just impossible for most of us. Thank you Rebecca❤

[@loreneaustin5304]

I love your home. I am glad you are going to keep it and add a Master Suite.

[@5usiewongs489]

I’ve been here since 2012💚 Looked up the best way to decorate a Christmas tree, and there you were, Rebecca!! Thank you, from Queensland, Australia xxx

[@rachelmccroryweller4089]

Rebecca, I love your videos and your designs. I always come away learning something new. You are an inspiration. ❤

[@KarolinaRamirezV]

I’m in love with your videos and your house … your style!!! Oh my goodness I can’t stop watching

[@BrendaBaBoom]

Happy 15 KZbin years and many many more Rebecca! 🎉🥳🤩

[@anitamurray7176]

Love your videos! No hater here❤️I’m enjoying your Design Sessions. Thank you!

[@jtaylor1551]

I just Love you attitude. After watching one video I knew I had to subscribe. You are so authentic, it's refreshing. it is a joy to watch your videos. Much Love. ❤❤❤

[@ItsMyLifeDaralynn]

Anyone noticed the assistant has a cross in his haircut? So neat ! I learned early to ignore the haters and keep moving and shaking. Love you , Rebecca. I love how much fun you have in your space . I never thought about moving wall decor around , but I will now. I love the way you decorated the ladder by laying the pieces opposites of one another on each step.

[@wilhat]

Happy birthday.I am 62 ,63 this year we start the same time I now hav 684 subscribers.so that makes me day.

[@indrabrewer2036]

Rebecca, I love your spark and enthusiasm, talent and whimsy. I am a design sessions member and my home is slowly moving from comfortable to lovely. Thank you for sharing with all of us.

[@pianopizzazzstudio7146]

Hi there, I have been really enjoying all of your videos. I wanted to share that I spent over a year designing a home that I love that my son wanted to build for us on his property. This was going to be my forever home and we loved the way it turned out with all black trim in lodge style home on 16 acres of property . A year later, because of many conflicts we have decided we need to leave the property and now are pretty devastated to loose my dream home. I am watching your videos now to get inspiration to move on to what I’m afraid will just be a lower level rental for awhile but hoping to be able to turn even that into a beautiful peaceful place for my husband and myself. We love to entertain and want something that is unique.

[@helenannewilsonrid9608]

Thank you, Rebecca! You are doing a great job. I have been doing interior design for 50 years. I noticed how little was shared by other designers in professional organizations. You share everything. Better than therapy!!!! One of your signatures: white draperies. The white out effect. So clean and wonderful. Especially with your wood/stain window casings. Perfect!

[@daniellehohenhaus3680]

I love your channel. I especially love the Christmas videos. Everything is so beautiful. You are one very talented woman and I love that you share your wisdom with all of us. 🇦🇺🤗

[@joanndelise7292]

First your home is absolutely beautiful. I agree and love shopping within your home. Changing out decor from room to room, rearranging furniture does make a room look fresh, different. And last but not least plants and window treatments, two thumbs up. Rebecca you are amazing and fabulous. Have a blessed day.

[@patricialeighty1614]

Love what you do. Have been watching you from the beginning

[@Honey-yf9le]

You are the best, your home is absolutely beautiful. So glad i discovered your channel, please keep posting .

[@rt3box6tx74]

💚 you Rebecca. It's a "surveyors" tripod for mounting a transit. Antique transits built of brass and cast iron are becoming obsolete, so grab the wooden tripods wherever you find them. The wooden boxes the actual transits are kept in are especially well crafted small wooden containers worth using as a tabletop accessory too. Even the transit itself is a curiosity worth displaying if you see the beauty in complicated mechanical items. I had mine on display until I did away with my library wall to avoid the dusting. 😘

[@asharhanniel1384]

I've been following you on KZbin for the last 10 years. I'm 32 now. I've ALWAYS loved watching your videos and I love your taste for decor.

[@mariablanco1955]

I feel sorry for the haters!! They don’t know what they’re missing out. I loved the tips you gave. You’re always so good about explaining why you do things you do. I have learned so much from you and Sharah. Im always trying to see how I can make it look better but on a budget. Slowly it’s coming together. I’m always looking for new videos I. The design sessions as well!! Lol 😂 I love everything you guys do!

[@cathyellis767]

No hater comments from me! Always look forward to your new videos, but love watching all the oldie, but goodie ones too!

[@deniselindquist7592]

Love your idea of having lamps that can be changed around to freshen up your look. Your book shelves look magazine ready. Me? No. I'm a reader, so my shelves are filled with books I have read. But, I do accent them with family pictures, and little trinkets, here and there, that are special to me. Love your idea about a plant service, and plan to look into it. I don't have an eye for plant placement in the open spaces in an Arizona home. Thanks for shaking up my design ideas.

[@CPARROWHEAD]

This was definitely FAB! ❤

[@anneburoker8908]

Your tips are so helpful and for those of us who are visual learners, the examples are crucial. You are a good teacher, a fun person and a delight to watch. Thanks for sharing.

[@Ms.MD7]

You were my very first YT interior designer and remember dreaming of incorporating your tips in my future first house and here I am, finally have a house to decorate my own. I'm taking the slow route by curating what I really want as opposed to just filling it stuff.

[@bushkin2]

I still see a surveyor’s tripod similar to yours, currently being used. They are a work of art!

[@rebeccarobeson1]

Agreed 👍🏻 RR

[@EEN63]

I’m not sure when I started watching your videos... probably around 2009 or 2010. It doesn’t really matter because I immediately binge watched everything prior to when I found your channel! It has been such a pleasure enjoying your beautiful talents, fabulous personality and getting to know you and your lovely family all these years. Not only have you spread your joy to your clients but also consistently to over a million viewers week after week! That’s an awful lot of joy to offset the handful of cranky pants! Brava! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Congratulations on your upcoming KZbin Anniversary/Birthday! 🎉🍾🥂💗💗💗

[@Kimberly-pc9wr]

I love your KZbin videos and I love you!

[@pattyalmond1301]

I absolutely love your design style, probably because you confirm that I’m doing everything in design right!

[@agrate1731]

Thank you for all you do for us and you are beautiful.

[@margaritadiaz3779]

I'm so happy that I found you on social media. Your style of design is addicting and I assure you that I have been able to implement some of it into my home design. Keep on doing what you're doing 🎉❤

[@dignit1620]

Love your personality! So much energy!

[@minkalevstik5884]

Thanks Rebeca spring is caming!❤

[@meganwhite721]

I have a tripod like that that I inherited from my father. It belonged to his father. I have taken it apart to make a lamp, but I need the creative inspiration to take the time to do it. I appreciate seeing it as a lamp because it is absolutely gorgeous and does inspire me to make the creative time for it!

[@raemaliking4357]

You are a fabulous teacher of design 👍🙌

[@pricedesign8805]

Anyone who hates on your designs has to be jealous of your exceptional designs! You are great!

[@rnqful]

Thanks for the tips and inspiration. I’m very much into minimalism however I’ve discovered my style through watching these videos. I like symmetry, clean cut spaces but I love warmth too. I see how o can inject that into my living space without over cluttering(which triggers my anxiety) and best of all I can keep things clean and dust free without spending hours and hours on it.

[@bcgirl9369]

You always make me laugh😅 your humor 🎉 and your lovely house, can't wait to see the new addition , it's perfect❤

[@cbrooke16]

Here’s to 15+ years of doing what you love while inspiring others ❤

[@SA-TexasAngel]

Thank you for your interior design artistry ideas which you have so kindly shared with us. I hope to soon start making small changes to my house so it will feel like a cozy yet classy home.

[@roxannelippard3354]

Love 💕 thank you 🙏 your support means so much to me and many more I know, I my niece just closed on her first house yesterday, so my advice, after vacuuming and cleaning her floors cleaning bathrooms then I took a break and gave her some advice then remembered your channel so I’ve sent because it’s so helpful. Thanks again maybe you could give us some tips on her space. Many thanks Roxanne

[@tslilbearshoppe9870]

I have a huge office and the dual desks are up against the longest wall and you see it when you come in. I didn't like the vastness of the huge oriental rug so I purchased two skinny but wide two sided book cases and put them next to each other (they looked like one long custom piece) and it filled the space so nicely. I just want to say I would never have thought of that creativity without your inspiration :) Thank you for these videos, you and your lovely daughter are so talented.

[@yasminlatif1646]

You filled my desires because I follow your tips

Girl! Love your talent and your attitude and personality! I’m so grateful for finding you as you have inspired me so much through the years. Thank you for taking a positive approach to the negative and haters as they are not worth giving any energy or thought to. ❤️❤️❤️

[@dawnbell681]

I'm so glad you came to youtube, Rebecca because your personality is so infectious and your style and design is admired by so so so many people around the world. Just the other day I was watching a popular designer and while she was teaching us about creating a door hanger, she mentioned your name as a reference point, and my jaw dropped because I thought she was famous and here she is speaking of you as a reference to what she was speaking about. I started laughing out loud like I knew you personally and I was so proud and yelled out "You better go ahead, Becky! The world knows your name"! I just love you❤ You have brought so much joy to my heart, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for being you!!!!!!!

[@rebeccarobeson1]

Wow Dawn. What a nice message you have left here. I’m humbled at your kind words. Thank you so much for being such a loyal and faithful follower. Means more to me than you know. I appreciate you taking the time to leave me this comment. Hugs to you sweet Dawn 🥰 RR

​@@rebeccarobeson1 Oh wow I never dreamed you respond to my comment. I know you must get thousands of comments. I'm so humbled by your response.

Your taste in décor is different than my own, yet I appreciate the thought and style sense that you bring to everything you do. I find your tips very helpful and inspiring. I agree with you on window treatment! The color, texture, length and style of the drapes can be the "wow' factor for the room and can truly set the tone. Thanks for all that you do!

[@cherylevansrn8419]

I’m so glad you’re on this platform and thanks so much for sharing all the inspiration and information you give do free.

[@malekimaui]

I think I have been following you for 15 years! Your daughters and sons first place, your daughters marriage and children, home in San Diego and now Tulsa. I can relate to you in many ways as I was a PK and love home design and about the same age. We moved around a lot growing up and my mother always made our house a home even though we never owned a home until I was in high school. 😃We now have homes in Maui and Oregon, which is a dream come true! I have refreshed our Maui home and looking to remodel in Oregon. We too are wondering whether to build or remodel out existing in Oregon. I will be sending you some photos from our Maui and Oregon homes. Planning to have the hour or two with you soon. Much love. ❤

[@maryhardaway3225]

Absolutely love ❤you! I am a designer from Nashville, TN! Also, we are the same age, so I definitely can relate! You are very informative and brilliant!

Our bedroom is also cream, black and touches of gold. It's classic. Having a bedroom you love is so important - it's the first thing you see in the morning and the last thing at night. Make it a room you love.

[@ChristineByers-y3j]

I watch you faithfully and you will be proud of me, after years of watching you and countless hours of video's I finally subscribed...woo hoo, not only do I love what you do I absolutely love your personality! I work full time but my favorite hobby is decorating my home and I also love to find some older pieces to add to each of my room and give it some character. My husband and also try to update one room each year to our house, this year we are updating our main floor bathroom. I think the most import lesson is your home is your biggest investment, invest in updating a room, paint, lighting, etc. it really pays off and when people comment how beautiful our home is we realize it all pays off in the end . Thank you for your wonderful show, your advice and countless beautiful ideas, keep them coming !!!!
