For the uninspiring art you could paint in little creatures, space ships, aliens, mythical beings. Say a sea dragon in an ocean print. If the color of the print or painting doesn’t work for you then try a wash over it to change the mood. Next time you make a frame staple the backside or better yet use thin nails in the side to attach with a bit of wood glue. I throughly enjoy your videos and thank you for sharing them with us. ❤

This room needs a taxidermy peacock on a branch ... A monkey skeleton An painting of a snake ... A painting of a cockatoo 10 owls A victoian aquarium or terrarium A zebra A large globe Apothecary jars A bar cart Crystals leaded crystal chachkies More tapestries 😁

[@cloudwonders]

Have you heard of Christine McConnell? She's the queen of all things dark and weird and darkly whimsical. She makes a great inspiration for dark rooms and vintage furniture (though I don't think she has a pink flamingo, or rhinestoned peacock ;-)). Also; next time just staple the back of the frame 🙂. Some woodfiller in the seams at the front, and you're good to go!

[@vaderladyl]

She is amazing!

[@looselycollected7505]

Does she have a KZbin channel?

[@vaderladyl]

@@looselycollected7505 Yes it is From The Mind Of Christine McConnell. She also has a Patreon.

[@laurinfritz442]

15:44 Yes please. A giant rhinestoned peacock would look great. Perfect addition for the wall colour and honestly I really want to see how you would do it. The room is stunning.

[@HazarielAtelier]

Thank you!

[@Button.and.Sprout]

I'm not sure if the fireplace works or not but you could put something surprising and whimsy in there! The room looks so amazing though. I don't know how you are good at everything but you are!!!! :)

[@restezlameme]

@HazarielCostumes It's also a completely legit academia-style decoration--my uncle owns a big restored Victorian house and he has an actual taxidermy peacock in the sitting room.

[@theladyw]

I 100% second the rhinestone peacock idea. 😊

[@LaineyBug2020]

I haven't even gotten past the ads yet (letting them run) and I love this idea!

[@annbrookens945]

I love the peacock idea!

[@munka214]

Agreed! Love this idea!

[@jenniferlynn3537]

I see the bejeweled peacock in dark hues vs. bright ones.... or even a faux Tiffany lamp with a peacock plume inspired shade! 🦚💡

[@deenajohnsonpurvis2220]

Only if it’s a unique specimen. Albino and white sequins. Or a skeleton white sequins and tail feathers and head plume white gold necklaces and anklets

[@felinetherapy4782]

I love it. Can't believe you had so much great furniture left in the house! Its a great base to start adding your own touches of whimsy over the years.

[@HazarielAtelier]

Some are really cool, others are just.... *looks at the fireplace*

[@Hrafnasil]

​@@HazarielAtelierYeah. Inherited/Purchased houses with generations worth of stuff is a mixed bag of treasures and horrors 😂

[@jenniferpoitras9473]

​@namnetare that's so true. I inherited my childhood home and there's cool things and the "omg what am I going to do with 30 (insert item)?!?"

[@fuchsfarben]

I love how affectionate the cat is with you, you got adopted Ariel! :D For the big picture frame, it's better to either glue an extra L-shaped piece of wood to the back and staple that, or put glue on the edges and staple from behind, then fill gaps with wood filler. But you life and you learn, as you said :)

[@plantday4680]

[@kaytiej8311]

Oh, l totally understand the joy of not having to hem those curtains!

[@HazarielAtelier]

That's how i get satisfaction in my life

[@iamnotmydepression]

Love it ❤ Rhinestone peacock but gothic...? Black, purples, blues and maybe a pop off bright pink would look so good. Like seeing the house transformation process as well as your crazy sewing skills.

[@TheAccidentalViking]

Dark Academia is my deal. I have two crystal balls. A collection of Egyption statues. Fossils and taxidermy under glass. Several glass skulls. A collection of lab glass and dried flowers framed under glass. I also love my hand painted porcelain portraits mounted on velvet and in brass frames. Also, I have several handmade tapestries.

[@HazarielAtelier]

Nice flex on your character inventory 😍

[@kristinarivas8900]

So beautiful! I think you should turn something that would normally be "dark academia" into a whimsy piece. Like, a small bust of someone, but covered in glitter. 😅 If you wanted to, you could even keep it a darker color, to not make it stand out too much.

[@fredericapanon207]

Mmmm, yes, green and blue interference paints would look great as they work best on top of a dark colour.

[@MagnusMoerkoereJohannesen]

That is a beautiful living room you've made, and this video has it all: humour, drama, cat, DIY; I cried when you sanded and painted over those beautiful wooden chairs, but I forgave you when you (quite correctly) pointed out that Finland was robbed 🤣You were on the right track, though, when you made your picture frame. Just apply PVA glue on the surfaces that will be joined, and staple them together on the backside. Thanks for showing us your process of turning a house into a home 🙂

[@HazarielAtelier]

I know for the chairs and maybe you are right, but also, I need to feel living in my home and not the house from previous owners, so yep paint it is ! Also Finland for the win.

[@vernieplummer5148]

I like how that wall color looks quite dark or light depending on the light hitting it. It's nice to have a change.

[@aksileb]

The colour really confuses me. Is it green or blue?

[@mikankitsune0440]

​@@aksilebIt's teal. It'll have a green or blue hue depending on lighting

[@blackhagalaz]

It's actually so satisfying to see you paint the wall properly :D. First painting the edges and around all the door and window frames and THEN painting the large surfaces of the wall. My mom was a painter (like in renovating homes, not an artsy painter) for 40 years, and this is how the pros do it and how she taught me to do it. It's way more efficient and less patchy to do it this way. I always die inside a little bit, if people start painting right in the middle of the Wall, where overlaps are the most visible 😅. Though to be fair, this isn't so much an issue with highly pigmented quality paint, since it often times covers without streaks with the first coat (except for light paint over dark)

[@cherylhuot4436]

My Ex and I gutted to the studs and remodeled 3 different houses in 6 years. 1985- 91. So much fun and lots of wonderful memories. But OMG so much work! I miss having all that energy. Thanks for taking us on your adventures! The room Turned out wonderful. You can always add your personal touch to the paintings to make them your own. And less “Proper”

[@YochevedDesigns]

OMG, that is a DREAM house! I love the choice of arsenic green on the walls.

[@thecadaver]

Your first attempt at framing was pretty good! If you want to try again, a few tips: join the corners with wood glue, then add the staples in the same places but on the flat side, they'll hold it secure while the glue dries and you won't see anything from the front. And if you want a super seamless corner, they sell little wax sticks you can rub in to fill in any gaps from the cut angle being off, but if you're going to paint it anyway you can just fill it with something like airdry clay and give it a quick sand to get it super smooth for way cheaper

[@katechiconi]

Some gorgeous Indian textiles, with gold embroidery and beading and tiny mirrors. Dark jewel colours, lots of rich folds...

[@Zillah82]

Oooo I love the color. I think you should do things like paint a tiara on one of those guys in the paintings or paint a Big Foot in the landscape painting.

[@guitaristk]

Perhaps painting over the old paintings? ;) I think Mr. Cat should get a portrait with one of those fancy uniforms.

[@ankokon]

Yes! Sims 1 soundtrack, perfect for house renovations!

[@Shifterai]

Hey so not sure if it's the same in France, but just a heads up, in Australia, be super careful removing textured walls and ceiling that have the popcorn kernel like texture cos it can contain asbestos

[@HazarielAtelier]

Oh It might be an issue in France but before getting the houses we ensured that no abestos was used. It's a legal obligation to have a check on this!

[@Shifterai]

@@HazarielAtelier That is amazing to hear! I wish that was the case in more places! Thank you for letting me know!

[@vaderladyl]

That texture which is called knock down or orange peel, is actually made with recent materials, so no asbestos was ever used anyway.

[@anniekinsmishkamouse7575]

We took hundreds of years worth of wallpaper off colonial horsehair plaster. The middle was red velvet that bled. The bottom layers we borders from one foot to about four inches. That was because at that point in time it was ruinously expensive. We only had putty knives and spray bottles.

[@bohemiansusan2897]

It's nice to watch someone have fun doing a DYI decor project. It turned out well for you. In the years to come other ideas will come about and you'll find ways to mix it in over time. I tend to love darker reds for walls but end up doing a dark beige or Tuscan yellow because being in darkness sets off my migraine headaches. I go with red, black and copper accents in decor. My tastes have changed a lot since my first project 40 years ago.

[@AmandaComeauCreates]

For someone who is self described not an interior design decorator you did fantastic with this themed room. Good job giiiirl

[@chophouse404]

With that wall color, the rhinestone peacock would be amazing!

You can find metal corners at crafting stores or anywhere you can salvage metal bits to decorate the corners of your picture frames. You can also apply a bit of gold leaf to give them an antique flare and depth. I used to do frame restoration.

Oh des statues aussi, du moins des bustes ça va trop bien dans ce genre de déco, les pierres aussi (type améthyste et autre en brut!). Comme toujours, j'ai hâte de la suite de tes aventures !

[@hurricanebubbles]

Future tip for making frames...staple the backside of the trim. Then use wood filler if the pieces don't quite match up. Whimsy to add ideas: Get an inexpensive lamp shade. Add beading, fringe, and trim to the bottom. Find a lamp base you like...voilà instant Victorian lamp. I added iron on dead head moth patches to the sides of mine (quasi square shade)

Bonjour Ariel - c’est magnifique! I was thinking that maybe an old sewing machine - a hand crank one - would look great and reference your own craft! Also, a pair of round, metal framed glasses lying on top of a pile of books, some old opera glasses perhaps, a dip pen and bottle of ink and one of those 19th century writing slopes… All to reference older times. The rhinestone peacock would be just the icing on the cake!
