It feels like it's been ages since I last posted a vlog, but this weekend was just too good not to share. I had a bunch of things going on - some house updates, some office work, and some personal stuff too. So, come along with me as I take a road trip across Ontario to find my dream couch, hit up a wild drag race bingo night, catch the Oscars with my coworkers, and just generally have a crazy busy weekend.

I wasn't sure about the previous sofa, but this one is perfect! What a find!

[@JL11775]

Love the new couch! I would replace the white chairs with ones that have a lighter feel. More mid century modern maybe with thin wooden legs.

[@marielmorenolarrinaga862]

Yes thin wooden legs and colourful cushions, cus everything is very brown

[@toriam15]

Agreed, the chairs are too bulky for this space.

[@mezanian]

I'd like to see a pair of clear or coloured Lucite chairs😊

[@imimmimi2]

Yep, agreed. The pedestal chairs hide the beautiful table legs, so something lighter.

[@derpski6299]

Hiya guys! thoughts on the room: I really think the satin finish would look really nice instead of the glossy lacquer finish for the table (that may help with getting rid of the sun spot in the center too, I think the lazy susan would be good to keep, but use for like game night or something) the white chairs kind of hide the beautiful base to the table so maybe something that is less opaque and bulky? Anywho, love your channel and keep being awesome!

[@bardin35mm]

Totally agree! Something like benches would be nice

[@bronfebey]

100% agree 😉 New couch and table ☑️ The table looks better without the lazy susan. Rethink the chairs 🤔 Great finds ☑️👌

[@cathleenweaver6483]

Agree...agree...agree 💜💙💚💛🧡

[@abbeyv4148]

I HATE to say it, but if you keep the table, I agree. The white chairs distract from the gorgeous table legs. I would LOVE something in a similar molded plastic style but clear or translucent orange acrylic? I know, super niche and hard to find, but it would allow the table’s legs to shine and also bring back some orange into the space while playing nicely with the colored light globe above:)

[@mkiyomur]

I agree I love the white chairs for something else and think clear MCMish chairs would be a great addition.

[@tzamouri]

The lazy Susan on the table is sooooo smart when you put the food on it and the plates on the table, so when you want something that is at the other end you just turn it and you don’t bother others bringing food to you! Love it

[@Kt-cn2rq]

Looks like a asian tables since easier to turn to move the food 😄

[@ukomdesign]

The table and lazy Susan on it is over the top perfect. That is so convenient.

[@nomadine85]

That taaaaableeee with the lazy Susan 😭😩🤩 on e the gloss is gone it’s going to be stunning!! The new sofa is also so much nicer than the previous one, it feels more sophisticated and fitting. I love these changes even though they meant the other things that you also liked had to go/ break. I like this a lot better personally 😊

[@lynnh3710]

I admire that you stay true to your own design style. This is yours and your Husband's home, so the #1 goal is what you both enjoy. The couch fits perfect.

[@JENerationDIY]

Such a cool couch!!! (And screaming at the how to love feature 🥰🥰)

[@moda78z]

And this casual vlog was fun! It’s been nice hanging out. ❤️

[@anht8305]

I like seeing the updates to the room after the initial makeover.

[@Brittany-xz6ee]

- satin finish on table top - keep the lazy susan, it's unique & useful! - get new chairs. maybe dark wood with a colourful fabric on the cushion, emerald seems like it would suit the space really well!

[@viivi4196]

I love the new sofa, it's so pretty and fits perfectly!! and damn the table is so gorgeous I literally gasped when I saw the legs haha you should definitely keep it! but I agree with the chair thing, I think it needs wooden chairs now! the white chairs stand out so much from the brown background

[@audreynothepburn7663]

I agree and maybe a bit smaller so it doesn’t feel overwhelming and people can move in and out.

[@sandieedward993]

Or you Could change the chairs Colors or if You Really Don't LiKe them then you could even move them into another area ,maybe use them 22:11 by the game table for chess ?? Just don't get rid of them there Kool for so many areas of your Home ❤

[@emilymilbourne7536]

Becky! We NEED to see you make some of those projects out of that 70s craft book you have! I haven’t stopped thinking about that book since you first mentioned it! 😂

[@sunkenblankets]

yellow or orange chairs (painted, vinyl, or even acrylic) would be so good. reintroduce some color since the deep brown kinda reads like black with those white chairs and play off the overhead lighting.

[@x.x.c.c]

I'll always enjoy Becky's content as she knows how to make it cheerful. i can't see her face and not click on the video♥️♥️ I would love love love love to see more of this.

[@AsiaOKK]

Becky, I could see you painting the chairs a complimentary orange! .🧡🧡🧡

[@AL-qt6pv]

Omg I had that same thought! In my mind’s eye I saw them being orange!!

[@lovingmayberry307]

Ok, my thoughts (since u asked 😊): LOVE the couch. Refinish the table top. Refinish lazy Susan and make it smaller. Paint the white chairs a warmer color.

[@annettemurielle]

Love the new format. Easy peasy as you pleasie. The new sectional is growing on me. It's in a lot better condition than the previous one. The table is excellent, but I think staining it to match the legs would be a huge plus. Lazy Susans are handy, and yours is removable so that gives you options. The white chairs? Could you paint them tan, or beige, or even burnt orange? They're just a little too starkly white. The room is coming together again!

[@jamiemasterson3029]

I love the way the new sofa fits that space. If you do keep the new table, and you still feel like the lazy Susan is too large, maybe you can make the current circle smaller and more functional? It is a cool feature to have and it fits the retro vibe perfectly. To answer your question, yes, I do enjoy this format., and I say please do more of these.

[@scubashar]

I love the lazy-susan feature - keep it! And keep the high gloss finish. It'll wear away with use on its own, and it protects the wood from getting ruined better than a satin finish will.

[@courtneyj2134]

I love seeing Becky vlog I feel like we haven't seen her much lately

[@dawsonl7647]

More Sorry Life Vlogs pleeeeeeease!!! Also, I love this sofa and table combo so much more than the last one - this new sofa just looks like it belongs in that space! And I love the table, so unique! I agree, a satin finish would be so much better for the space and the lazy Susan is a great addition! The table legs are stunning - so agree that chairs with a thinner leg would show off the table better, but the white are great for now!

[@emilycanada7210]

Quick moment of appreciation for that woodwork with the corner table behind and updating of the base 👏🏼 chef’s kiss for a perfect fit

[@kristineensor1898]

Sofa, table, and lazy Susan is definitely the vibe. I'd lose the chairs. Great find!

[@taylorwalker7417]

Awesome find, Becky! I like the table, love the table *with* the lazy susan, and I think the chairs can be replaced, but I still like the idea of them not matching the table.

[@AnnieFangg]

Honestly in love with the new sofa, and the table was actually a really great find! I think you're right, sand the table and give it that satin finish. I absolutely looooove the lazy Susan! I'd be so excited to have that as an option. For the chairs you could switch them out for something smaller where it takes up less space to give the whole area more breathing room. Texture wise it could be wood, or alternatively I'd be really interested to see something made out of transparent orange plastic to tie in that beautiful orange glass ceiling light. I imagine a chair made out of orange plastic would lighten and warm up the space and would look really beautiful with the light shining through it. A third option could be some chairs with a pop of coloured fabric.

[@penciltrees]

I vastly prefer these types of videos! So many "EXTREME room makeover!" videos have rushed results rather than the organic, slow process of making a space beautiful. From a content creation & consumption perspective, it lets you revisit spaces that are already "done" -- please more.

[@loribriggs3346]

I love the lazy Susan...something about the repeating circles that makes the base look even better.

[@susanabanana212]

Wow I really like that new table, it fits so well in the space and I like it with that deep drown sofa color. A+++

[@hausofholly5426]

LOVE LOVE LOVE the new table! You're right about the top being too shiny though. I also love the lazy Susan

[@doo21leroux]

OMG I love the lazy susan! That table is sweet with the couch. Great finds!

[@nicoleadel]

I love the lazy susan on the new table!!! I think that's so cool for shared meals. No passing necessary!

[@damiansmith3549]

Love the new table. The addition of the lazy Susan is fantastic

[@kwong06]

The new sectional and table are so timeless looking… the lazy Susan is really handy but also reminds me of the tables often in Asian restaurants. The chairs definitely need to change

[@vasundajay]

I was thinking that a lazy Susan would help those at the farther ends of the sofa. Perhaps you could resize it. I love this couch better than the last. I think if you replace the chairs, you may have a cohesive look. Love the space, Becky. Would love to see more vlogs. Sometimes it is like looking at art. Like when Rachel pours out her coffee before the diy sections.. it is calming, everyday, and has this chill vibe.

[@aimsly86]

Tbh I still like the white chairs!

[@erinmarie840]

Becky living her best life! I could not do that drive all in one day. Very impressive.

[@diannesandvik460]

I love the new sofa! Much better fit. The table is also perfect. Sand the top down and do a satin finish. Change the chairs. Maybe instead of more wood try two upholstered parson style dining chairs in a retro fabric to add some dimension and color. I love your videos. You need to make a few changes and make a video about the changes. You’ve almost got it. I know you are wanting everything to just click and give you feeling you get when it’s perfect. You’re almost there! You got this!

[@barney_huzi3622]

Great sofa for the room, much better and in perfect condition compared to the last one!! For the table, I'd have gone with a rectangular one with rounded corners (sort of a repetition of the squared corners of the room but less harsh) , and then would have leaned even more into the deep brown of the sofa with the chairs maybe with a different material like leather to add a different texture. Would have added a checkered brown and creamy white rug (creamy would have been better but doesn't make sense for a dining area with "spillage" potential) to lighten things up a bit and pull from the white of the walls, planter and lamp base. Curious to see what you'll be doing though. Love love love this style of videos, only thing that would have enjoyed even more is seeing how you made the rounded corner base for the sofa. It is indeed a work of art in and of itself!. X

[@nicolelecomte2281]

Absolutely agree with the couch base redo it’s brilliant work and the curve is perfect!

[@amara560]

I agree on the more rectangular table suggestion!

[@dinannananna]

I'm feeling a blue vibe with all the brown! Like the two chairs could be a different vibe like cream or a wood stain to match the table and with proper legs so the table base is more visible and have blue cushioned seats, maybe velvet? And then a couple of cushions on the couch to tie it together as seating.

[@AleeshaWeesha]

Yes to the new sofa and base! Yes to the new table! It's the elevated look to the former set up.

[@sleeplessroads6339]

You should paint the white chairs a pop of color to contrast the wood! I feel like the white is a bit bland for the space now that the colorful sofa is gone!

[@bardin35mm]

The new table is perfect! The scale is so much better than the previous one. About the chairs, i think it would be nice to bring in wicker / cane chairs. it’s softer while still tying all of the wood elements together. Maybe doing it in darker color to contrast all other bright warm tones

[@MS-zj2mf]

So glad you got a bigger table! Please don't get rid of the white chairs, they are perfection! Maybe the stripe couch would work in that little extra room on the way to your extra bedrooms?

[@erinnorris]

i still like the white bucket chairs!! I actually think they help with the super glossy table since there's so much contrast, but I think the table would be even better with a satin finish.

[@moda78z]

When I read the title I knew it was Becky 🤣. That’s because I know how passionate you are about finding your dream furniture and I am so happy you found it! 😘❤️ Ps. It’s so crazy that it fits perfectly! It was meant to be!

[@barbaracallwood9220]

I love this style of blog-very low-key and relaxing. Love, love, love the new sofa! I agree that things are a little off. Do you think the white chairs are a little stalk in the space? Maybe paint them a complementary color? Maybe one of the colors from the old sofa?

[@denisepaul7274]

Yes, I was thinking the same thing, the stark white against the dark sectional isn’t right. Maybe tan? But that still doesn’t solve how much they hide the fabulous table legs. Maybe clear lucite chairs?

[@SierraCampbell-u8x]

I like all the changes you made!! That table and couch are perfect but I think just painting the white chairs a more deep moody color vs the white would be more your vibe and pull it all together!

[@liaotterman1]

This table is meant to be! And the sofa fits so much better (can’t wait to see what you did with the striped one). I’d also love to see how you upgraded the wooden base and rounded the corners if it ever got filmed. And looking through the comments, seems like I’m the only one who thinks thin metal legged chairs for this space. I think they would break the bulkiness and darkness of this nook and also give the table its moment.

[@ukomdesign]

The couch is perfect. The table with the lazy Susan is amazing. Now we need lighter stools to go with it. It is coming along nicely.

[@quinnbailey1815]

I like the table a lot, Becky! But I think refinishing the top would elevate it and make it a little more modern! Love what you're doing though--you are awesome.

[@Amycakes92]

New table yes!!! It's beautiful and fits perfectly! Sand and satin finish for sure. The lazy susan feel really 70s to me too!

[@elizabethwinters5361]

Becky, I love all your videos, chatty and informal or more structured when you are building stuff. No worries. You are always inspirational and fun.

[@x.x.c.c]

Yeess👍🏻♥️

[@KyubinSlay]

LOVE THE TABLE! refinish it and the lazy susan omg love love. as for the white chairs, honestly i think a c-shaped bench would look SO GOOD in their place or like a semi circle bench rather - y’know????

[@rebeccat8061]

I think once you refinish the top of that table it’s going to look like it was made for your space. 2 incredible finds!

[@debra2415db]

I'd love to see how you constructed the base and shelf for the new couch. I really like the new table, changing the color on the top to the base color, excellent idea. What about painting the chairs, see if changing the color changes how they look in the space.

[@DLRTraynorCoberly]

You can change the cushions in the couch through a fabric store or even Amazon by buying firmer cushions or a large piece and cut them yourself. I do that with outdoor cushions instead of buying all new ones. Cut with a bread knife.

[@nicholecarter1667]

Oh my god bingo and drag show in one… I need this in my life!

[@jessiepapabear4272]

❤ So much better sofa for dinning room. The oak table is wonderful yet not sure if white chairs go with the room now.

[@cosyapartmentireland6986]

You’ve completely elevated the space with the new pieces! Love them. New chairs would finish it off nicely . Also, fair play for all that driving!!

[@RafaelaRodrigues-de3wh]

Absolutely loved the table! The lazy susan is soo vintage. Loove. I agree, though, to sand and put a satin finishing.

[@poupou9435]

This table, gosh, it's a major upgrade. The legs are stunning! And I love the lazy Suzan idea. But your right, it doesn't let a lot of personal space. The sofa, on the contrary, looks dull compare to the previous one. But I understand the need to feel confortable on a daily base of course.

[@AngelaGDiaz-ln1kk]

Agree with the chairs, a light soft wood one would go perfect

[@ES-gw4nr]

I thinks the new couch and new table work so well together. The white chairs don’t look bad but maybe just change out the seat fabric to a pattern that matches the color of the sofa? Definitely sand and stain/seal the top to match the legs!

[@sixinchzipper]

Sofa is a hell yes. Love the table- just give it a fresh satin stain. The chairs, while very funny, just feel a bit bulky. Loving the transformations and update!

[@ancabadonka1]

I think the chairs would look great repainted in an orange color, kind of like the stripes of the original couch. It's not brown or wood, but it's in that color palette. Also the giant lazy Susan is fantastic and I now want one for my table. So practical for big gatherings, even if you need to use smaller plates

[@jamalrana8504]

Beck that sofa is stunning and the new table has gorgeous mid century legs but currently a very 90s top. I would sand the top to get rid of the gloss and stain a more teak colour to pull in the legs. Also I think maybe clear chairs would work as you don’t want too much bulky furniture in the smaller area. Overall obsessed 😭

[@momofmanyjewels7]

Yes to the Couch!!! YES to the TABLE ! Yes to the lazy susan -especially since it is removable when you have a lot of people? MORE vlogging please- it shows us- me that even great designers have to think and rethink and rethink and redo things

[@5cree]

This sofa is perfect for this space 👏 As for the table, I love it and the lazy Susan, but a sand and a re-finish would be *chef kiss*. The white chairs really don’t go with the new sofa though, but I’m sure some heavier/darker looking chairs would fit in really nicely. The white chairs are giving me a poolside garden vibe tbh. 👍

[@mtlsuzanne]

The new sectional and table combo yaaaass ADORE!! 😍 Def think chairs/stools with a smaller footprint so the table base/ sectional can shine 🤗 Everything is coming together so so beautifully 🎉🎉

[@michelewilliams4792]

Keep the chairs! I feel like it brings the 70/80s back in! I’m sad the 70s couch is gone but this one is way more practical.

[@marthaely8244]

Love the new couch! How about pairing the white chairs with the other couch in the new location? I agree, they don't go well with the new setup.

[@carrieanderson1238]

Obsessed with the new sofa and the PEDESTAL?!?! It is so gorgeous. I think it would look great with a refinished top. Also, the chairs no longer go. For some reason I’m feeling like clear vintage style chairs would look so cool!

[@SabbigalAS]

Oh and the lazy suza is perfect! I love it, feels even more old school

[@cristyberger5298]

I think a satin finish on the table for sure, and I think you need dark or wood chairs. The white chairs don’t work with the set now- but they need a new place in the house because they are awesome.

[@Trufriend61]

I love everything together now! That table WITH the lazy susan is fab!

[@kimberleykayleigh1130]

I can totally relate to your motivation to travel far for characterful pieces Becky! I travelled 12 hours from where I live (North East of England) to Caerphilly in Wales (UK) (6 hours there and 6 back) to get second hand teak parquet flooring to do the whole downstairs of my 133 year old cottage. Me and my partner are laying it ourselves and I love the fact I get to give the flooring a second life and it’s travelled all the way from Wales! My friends and family did think I was crazy for making such a journey though! 😊

[@TamarLitvot]

Caerphilly! My favorite cheese which I can no longer find in the U.S. My British BIL introduced me to it and I can almost taste it just seeing its name.

[@des_tiny44]

The new sofa is fab and the lazy Susan is perfect! It fits easily fits in with the space and is much less forced! Love your style as always Becky!! ❤

[@danikitttie]

I enjoy an unstructured vlog. It's pretty chill and spontaneous 😊

[@iamkid_a]

i like this chill format, i mean i like both but this is good too. i think the table with the lazy susan is GREAT for entertaining like especially family style meals. the chairs still look great but def wanna restain or refinish that table top for sureee

[@TrishaLynnSpins]

The new table is sooo freaking cool! I love the lazy susan! One of my favorite parties ever was a Dip Party, and that susan would be so fun to have an array of dips on! Also the couch is beautiful!!

[@EmJRo]

The table is great (personally think the lazy Susan makes it much better), the color of the chairs works, maybe just add bigger pillows in a dark brown to tie it in? And the base board for the sofa looks great but imagine if it was stained the same color as the table legs, then you carried it through to the pillows on the white chairs? That warm orange tone would really match the light, too.

[@elianalanda7159]

Such great finds Becky! The table is amazing, I love the legs, the lazy Susan, the size, but it definitely needs to be sanded and re-stained. As for the chairs, I would say probably consider red/brown acrylic chairs if you're not happy with the ones you have. That would give it a nice, groovy touch.👌🏻

[@joselovesnailart]

Becky’s motivational crazy talk 🫶🏼🤣🤣

[@CK1000ism]

The table shape is beautiful. I really love the legs. The finish is off. On camera, it has a slight orange tone. And the chairs now, again, that I love on their own, no longer go with the style of the table. I might want something with a curved but more minimal back--something where you have a curved part for back support but not a solid back so you can see the table through the chairs.

[@claudinerochon6585]

Your new vintage sofa is perfect! The table goes very well with it. The white chairs are a bit too white, you're right, it needs to mix better with the sofa. Love the blog, your unique style in decor is great!

[@LarrietDarling]

IT'S WORTH IT!!!! I LOVE ITTTT! Now that the couch is neutral, maybe the chairs deserve to be a funky-ass orange or glossy red. 👀 I looooove the table legs! AND the lazy susan for a family style dinner with all of the dishes on it, so people can spin it to get their foods. I think refinishing the table to match the legs would make it so perfect! And maybe taking off the decorative lip that's around the table top to make it more just, like, flat around the rim like the table you made!

[@ambarmorales3558]

Love the sofa!! And the new table! Agree that a satin finish would fit the space better. My partner is chinese and his family use lazy susans like that one all the time, the idea is that you have a bunch of plates of meat, vegetables, noodles and rice in the middle for sharing and everyone eats out of a small plate and/or bowl. So the scale is right for that but if you dont eat meals like that you can just use it for some occasions

[@notlostjustwandering218]

LOVE the shape of the table. Picturing brass chairs with it.

[@tambaldocarletti]

THE PERFECT MATCH: COUCH AND TABLE!

[@pear92]

Love the new couch so much better! Also love the table. Definitely agree on the satin finish vs the gloss. As for the chairs, I think some backless stools (perhaps with cushions on top in a color that pops) in the same stain as the table/couch base would give you that seating without blocking the view of the legs of the table or stealing too much attention from the rest of the room.

[@kellycappiello]

Love the new sofa! I feel like the space is now begging for warm, mustard-y velvet-y accent chairs instead of the white. It would complement that amazing lighting fixture so well!

[@bobbid9168]

The table is perfect. I agree with a satin finish. Cut down the size of the lazy. Susan. You will grow to love it. I think the white chairs work but I understand if you want to look for something different. The sofa is amazing. It would have been worth a 10-hour drive.

[@justinabean94]

That new couch is perfect. The table is really cool too but you’re right the top isn’t it. I would try sanding and staining and if that doesn’t do it for you , it could look cool with a stone top of some kind. that would be much pricier but would be a really stunning upcycled piece and might help other furniture blend more so it’s not all brown . It looks so cozy and whatever you end up doing will look so good. 💖

[@bluefox99887]

I love the couch and table! I agree that you should refinish the top in satin. That might fix the sun spot, too. You should keep the lazy susan for game night/parties, but not daily use. The chairs are great, but might distract from the funky legs of the table. Maybe keep an eye out for something different (maybe MCM/acrylic)?

[@SincerelyDonna]

I’m thinking keep the chairs in there because the curves go so well with the table legs and curvature of the sofa. The walls are white, so it does technically go. I wonder if tying in the color of the light fixture in throws/table centerpiece/pillows is the missing piece of the puzzle. That pea green and add some orange back in there? I think it’ll look stellar

[@Em.ily.may98]

I love that table with the lazy Susan, it fits the place perfectly 🤩

[@BelaCurcio]

I feel like what would really tie the space together is a really slim/sleek table, like possibly similar vibes to the Richard Shultz petal table, or an Adrian Pearsall glass top dining table? Both of those have cheaper versions, or copies you can find. Or like a nice light wood Danish MCM teak round dining table? I think the sleek Scandinavian design would be good contrast to the chunkier style of the sofa and really make it pop

[@igot9121]

Love the table and sofa...but different chairs would nice for the space. Casual vlogs are good as well Becky!😊

[@stenlundsflicka]

I love the new sofa!!! And the table is so cool! But I do feel like a more rectangular table would be more fitting in the space

[@blacklighter05]

Love the couch, love the table (more so after you make alterations to the glossy wood), and I think the chairs fit the whole aesthetic quite nicely. They tie into the light fixtures and complement the architecture in the table base. Someone else said that the chairs block that feature but It doesn't seem like it to me.
