And I'm so glad you're here!! :-)

[@teemadarif8243]

Ms. Lady , you are blessed with a big Gift!!

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Wow, that's so kind. Thank you!!

[@debiseltmann7341]

Yes Sarah....you are the Most High Queen of Leftovers!👸🎉💚

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Haha, thank you! Reduce, reuse, recycle! :-)

[@darylsearle3474]

Sarah, I have been following you for decades, even shamelessly binge watching your series. Inspired by this episode's log cabin type molding in the bunk room, I ordered fluted wood casing (the best I could do in my USA region) to drop horizontally below a combo glass mosaic and glass listello chair rail in my master bathroom. You are brilliant and greatly inspire me to try the unconventional, unexpected design details. thank you.

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Awesome!! I'm sure it'll turn out great! Thanks so much for your kind words and for tuning in! :-)

[@lovestosingalot55bodin7]

Great choices Sarah! Love the colour co-ordinations you chose. I love matching my jewellery with my clothes. I know that isn't quite as complicated as doing two or three rooms that you want to co-ordinate with each other. You pay great attention to detail. No stone is left unturned. Great job!!!

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Aw, thanks so much!! :-)

[@lunaholiday8585]

This is one of my favorites. I like the green paneling and the blue bathroom door.

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

So great to hear (read?) - sounds better to say "hear". LOL! In any case, thanks for leaving positive feedback - very much appreciated. :-)

[@Syl_Lac0898]

Another winner 🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. I am constantly amazed at your creativity and the overall finished product. Personally I tend towards blues and whites and greys but I do love a nice green - and this is stunning!! I love the mossy green that you used plus the grey tones - overall it’s very pleasing to the eye and just perfection 🤌🏻. I do love à Nice sage green as well! Sarah, you are my dream designer. I love your style and your personality ☺️💚

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Aw, thanks so much - so kind of you. I'm glad you found your way to my channel. Lots more to come!!

[@nellmurphy3028]

Omg, I am so so glad I found you, I been a fan when you had a DESIGN show, and I love love your decor.

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Yay!! Welcome and we've got lots more coming your way!!

[@Toinette2883]

That room is so much fun and that green, perfection love it❣️

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Yay! I'm so glad you love it!

[@pamelairvin3164]

I love the "almost" floating end cabinets on the bench build: just enough space to tuck in shoes underneath. Glad you didn't wallpaper the walls around the beds: lots of temptation to color on those great geometric shapes!!! Blessings

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Aw, thanks for your positive feedback! :-)

[@JolovesDecor]

That’s amazing. 🙌. Love how you use your color by taking it up and over onto the ceiling. The extra attention to the texture on your bunks and your ceiling with the rounded oval wood…👏. PS: Loving your blouse as well. So pretty.

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Aw, thanks so much!! :-)

[@awh5069]

When I was a kid... I would’ve ❤ hanging out w/ my friends in this room (I’d even hang out now as an adult). Playful and Cozy. Job very well done, as always.

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Thank you!! And I'm with you - I'd hang out there too as an adult! :-)

[@josettegreen4955]

Just gorgeous! One question...any advice on how to make and change sheets on a bunk bed? My results never look as lovely as yours. 😊Love, your biggest fan

[@bowerbirdstyle7661]

Loving all the splashbacks and benchtops

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Thanks so much!!

[@ChaoticPeace357]

I love all these colors and that fabulous paneling with those statement pillows especially the one that has the green it and the bathroom is awesome-I want to stay in the kids bunk room, maybe have a go at each room, lol.

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Thank you!! I agree with you - I'd sleep there too! ;-)

[@marcmontpetit8897]

Thanks for all the good ideas. Great work.

[@antikathy]

That chevron stained?? And with the wallpaper!?! Love.

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Thank you!

[@raquelkthomas]

As a fellow designer I love how you make use of all the materials!!!

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Thanks so much!! :-)

[@beckyscheller9358]

Love bunk beds : had them growing up. With springs. Would take the one tucked in the corner.

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Nice!! The corner bunks are definitely cozy - like little hideaways.

[@therealnancycarol]

Sarah is the best!! 💕💕💕

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Well, I don't know about that, but I sure do love that you think so! :-)

[@Sheamarie]

Lovely designs.

Sarah, Great tips! Lots of screenshots during this series of videos. 😊

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

That's great!! I'm glad you're taking away some ideas you might like to try. Thanks for watching!

[@jenl.4051]

I just watched this episode on Hulu tonight and what a fun space! That green is perfection! 👏

[@rosehughes599]

THANK YOU! for mentioning that this series is on Hulu. I didn't think it was available in US (where I'm on vacation from UK) so I'm binging it before we go home.

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Thanks for streaming on Hulu!! You can never go wrong with green. :-)

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Thank you!! ❤

[@angelayoung5798]

You FINALLY did it! Actually used bunk beds--I've watched you fight this for years. My only concern in this space is the mirror and how high it's hung. I'm not sure it's totally kid friendly. Are those bunks standard size? They look short. I agree kids will love those bunks and having their own space!!

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

The bunks fit twin mattresses. Check out the makeovers section of my website - "Tour: Slopeside Chalet", "Retro Ranch Reno: Bunk Room", and "Sarah off the Grid: Bunk Room" are just a few more projects where I've incorporated bunk beds. :-) www.sarahrichardsondesign.com/get-inspired/makeovers

[@PanamaDesigner]

It's beautiful. I am wondering how you manage to make the beds tucked inthe corner?

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Where there's a will there's a way! ;-)

[@k.h.walker2378]

Sarah how do yo make those tucked away bunks?😉

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

It may not be easy, but it's certainly fun climbing those bunks! ;-)

[@jeanlaubenthal698]

I love this room! AND still a bit concerned the light fixture selected could get hot enough to cause an issue.

[@rosehughes599]

LED bulbs don't get as hot as old ones

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

@@rosehughes599 Thanks for taking the time to read the comments and participate in the conversation. :-)

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Thank you! LED bulbs are the way to go!

[@Trenchant468]

You could go even smaller on a powder room by using only a toilet with an integrated sink which uses the tank water for hand washing. Always wanted to find an application for this idea.

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Thankfully I didn't have to go smaller. :-) Thanks so much for watching!!

[@Trenchant468]

@@SarahRichardsonDsgn City gal here… Always learn from and enjoy your content. Still waiting for you to reconfigure my 5x22’ kitchen, lol.

[@Dingle1234]

I wonder how that paneling would look on stair risers? Either solid or around the perimeter of them?

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Probably really great!! :-)

[@Tony-InLosAngeles]

How are you managing an Airbnb rental property on the other side of the Canada from where you live???

❤❤👍👍🌹🌹

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

And to you! 🌹

[@clairewright8153]

Such a great room for kids, they’d have so much fun. Not sure I’d put such small tiles in the powder room especially with little boys, their aim is not great and the grout will end up well sorry but smelly

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Thanks for watching!! :-)

[@rosehughes599]

Where's the entrance door? It used to be in the nook?

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

The entrance is to the left of the bunk beds when you're looking at them straight on - it's just not pictured.

[@jeanlaubenthal698]

Hooks and mirrors etc seems to be hung rather high for kids.

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Thanks for your feedback!
