After all these years, Becky is looking her absolute best. Forget the room (just for a second) and just appreciate how fab she's looking!! Good on you girl! Right, back to the interior.....xx

[@lauraroberts4081]

Yes she does !!🪞

[@googleuser2795]

She does look amazing! Always has!

[@denisejimenez840]

She looks amazing like the lighter hair!

[@bizzybee852]

She is beautiful, inside and out, and she doesn't need any more cosmetic surgery or treatments. Cosmetic surgery, and even less invasive cosmetic treatments, like face peels, botox, and fillers, eventually begin to add up to too much. It all just reaches a point where your face begins to look too shiny like plastic, your features lose their unique quirkiness, and your skin begins to look too taut and perfect with no wrinkles or character, like a shiny plastic doll, no matter how good the cosmetic surgeon is.

[@justjacqueline2004]

Agree,supreme lady.

[@joeo7257]

Clever! Many creative ideas. Here is one for you. If you have fake plants, get rid of the Spanish moss in the pot, and replace it with dry potting soil. It will look so real that friends may accidentally water it for you!

[@jensea3977]

BR, I feel like I’m living your parallel life. Divorced against my wishes, using what I have to cobble a new life, then upgrading to create my next, new best life. Covid pushed me to finish my home. I love my new life and this next chapter. (Huge, cuz hopelessness abounded. Now, I have hope, promise & potential I never knew. Thx for you honesty in your story.

[@Elizabeth-mp6tr]

Love, love the tall white curtains with the cream walls. They REALLY make all the difference in your room. They warm it up and frame your room very well!

[@LanceHamright]

I’m begging you…PLEASE FILL US IN ON THAT CLOOOOOCK!!! I need it in my life😊😊😊

[@cathyellis767]

Love the light and airy California vibe!!

[@IsabelMarie7]

Rebecca, I always changed the decoration in each season of the year BUT THANKS TO YOU, YOUR ADVICE now I do it with more beauty and my husband knows that it is thanks to you, my husband says "If Rebecca says so, THAT'S HOW IT SHOULD BE" WE LOVE YOU!

[@rebeccarobeson1]

Awwwww Marisabel, I love you guys too 🤗 tell your husband Rebecca says hi 🥰 RR

[@sooome9294]

The plant is a staghorn fern. Love the unique look. Love the look of your home.

[@joanndelise7292]

Becky your living room looks lovely. I decorate for summer, change out the pillows, throws, curtains etc. In my living room as well as my bedroom. I'm with you, lighter and brighter for summer. I'm a Jersey girl but I love the beach and incorporate pieces in summer months in my home. Have a blessed week and best wishes with building your new house.

[@swisslions]

I have a fall house. The colors and sunlight make it most beautiful in a warm earthy accessories. I also have a 50 pound dog who tracks in dirt. I change accessories for Christmas and flowers and candles for other times of year.

[@rebeccarobeson1]

I get you swisslions, when I’m dog sitting my daughters dog Scout, I pretty much cover everything… she loved nothing more than to track in the mud and wipe her beard all along the base of my sofas after she eats 😩. Love her but she definitely makes an impact on all of my white furniture 🙁 RR

[@bibimajeed7281]

You dress so Beautifully. You're looking Absolutely gorgeous, and very young. Your hair is so pretty. All of your outfits, your accessories are all so lovely. I truly admire you. Not to mention all your great qualities.Youre talented in every way possible. You're so inspiring. It's so nice you're able to get many people to work for you in each way you need. We recently moved to a new area. My son bought a new home here. It's very difficult to get anyone to work for us. As you know I'm very sickly. With my Lupus and Fibromyalgia with Lumbar stenosis. There days I'm so sick, I can't even walk. I really need help in so many ways. You're very fortunate.

[@rebeccarobeson1]

Hi Bibi, I’m sorry to hear you are suffering so much. My prayers are with you. Hang in there my friend 😘 RR

[@lorierickson2834]

I would love to change my decor with the seasons. Love, Love whatever you do. The lighter colors are just so calming. I think what I really like is your desk sitting in front on the window. The antique window LOVE! again I will be patiently waiting for the next video. Though you could do anything and I would love it. The question about the white couch I so want to get a white couch now! I could go on and on but until the next video.

[@romee5763]

Absolutely don't change season to season. The items I have I love and am happy and content to see them around me season to season.

[@ChristyStoerm]

I loved all the tips, from buying two sets to make a bigger piece, to small changes to make the room feel lighter. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

[@rebeccarobeson1]

You are so welcome Christy… thanks for watching and especially for taking your precious time to leave me a comment 👍🏻 RR

[@dmbalsam]

We built our cottage. We even made our own floor plan. For a year every time we visited someone my husband would measure a room or two, or the pool table, something anyway. We gave our plans to a blue print person and he made a few suggestions and helped with the exterior. Found a builder and he added a few thing as well. Somethings I would change, because style have change and it has been 30 years., other wise it is nearly perfect. We have a great view of the water, a creek that is at least 1/4 mile wide and 20’ deep. There is a lovely back porch 12x52’ and smaller front porch the backyard is patio and gardens, again the water views. I am tossing these out as things to think about as you plan.

[@Switzer1234]

OTHERWISE (not OTHER WISE) One word😉

[@dmbalsam]

@@Switzer1234 spelling was not my best subject, still isn’t🙂

[@rebeccarobeson1]

Thank you Debra, I appreciate your personal experience 👍🏻 RR

[@rebeccarobeson1]

Oh and Debra, I’m not a great speller either 😉 RR

[@dmbalsam]

I think i should add why we designed our own floor plan. We had this marvelous view and it was to be a cottage. We could not find any plans that fit our need and we were doing this on a tight budget. We worked around if we had to sell the house since it was a second home. We kept everything on the main floor, a basement that could be finished with space for a pool table, 2 baths, open concept sort of, extra closets. The LR and DR are one one room and each has double sliding glass doors, cathedral ceiling. Not planned, but we can be out in the middle of the creek on a tube and tell if someone is at our front door! My husband wanted to see the water when he wakes up in bed, so the house was designed with that in mind, first floor had to be so many feet above ground level. We also have 2 gas fireplaces, after having a wood burning stove for 30 years. Our thought process.

[@lindabaca236]

I would expect nothing less than the beautiful decor you have put together for your 100 year old house You have added so much value to your house -really an outstanding job

[@rebeccarobeson1]

Thank you Linda 😊 RR

[@lindab8397]

I love to see the different ways you change a room about , with this one I think the tv looks better between the two windows . It all looks so well placed and makes the home cosy. 👍🌸🇬🇧

[@cindyrolle6476]

I rearrange furniture for a fresh look. I change the curtains to get a fresh look in the rooms also. I painted my family room white. Gorgeous! In the bedrooms, I change out the bedspreads and accent pillows. I love rearranging furniture in the bedrooms also. I put items away in the closet if it’s too much for my new look. I love my home and those that come to visit love it also.

[@lorin2]

Your home flows beautifully! Thanks for sharing how economical your changes have been.

[@coronasolartarot272]

The gorgeous plants are really the stars of the show in a sea of beautiful white. Loved it!!

[@straightarrowmotivationswi5378]

I change decor by the seasons. I am glad to hear that I am not the only one!😊 Everything looks great!!

[@susanrioux9889]

Rebecca another ace job. I love how you are repurposing items for different rooms. Excellent on using the extra chair as a desk chair. I adore the new light. Since I’ve been watching you, I tend to change decor ore often. I think for many people like me it could be limited budget. Every video you do provides wonderful information. Keeping some kind of cover on a white sofa is smart. I’m thinking grandkids. I admire your creativity and wit. I bet we would have a great time together.

[@mrschi1000]

Yesssssss! Mrs. Chi loves it! Great style and great tips. My favorite is the desk that repeats the color of the beautiful neighboring console and the industrial style of the room. I love that console. Another one hit straight out the park! Thanks Rebecca!

[@stefanilesser1396]

I change for the seasons now and love it! I didn't have time when I was working and raising kids, but I do now.

[@rebeccarobeson1]

Go for it Stefani 🙌🏻 RR

[@karennetherland2327]

Nicest I've seen that room. Looks fantastic! I change my house up for every holiday and every season. It's nice to change things up, giving it a fresh look so you don't get bored with it. Love your home! 💗

[@marlatyler4894]

Looks light and fresh - loved the 4 pictures from Home Goods. Looks great and great ideas for your room refreshes 👍❤️

[@ndgrandma1818]

I wish I could be your best friend- which I’m sure most of your fans feel like, as well! You are so talented, fun, upbeat , beautiful, and funny! I love everything you do!

[@annoymousme722]

The only things I am able to change out is the different holiday decor. So I start lke you with a neutral base, all white, off white, then add pops of color through pillows and other accessories. I live in an apartment, so I have no extra storage to put larger items to switch out. Another thing I plan on doing is, instead of buying a punch of pillows for different times of the year, I am going to just have fitted decorative pillow case coverings with hidden zippers, to go over my exisiting throw pillows. I am probably going to end up making them, if I cant find what I want already made for sale. If I make them then they will be unique, and I like to be a little diferrent and not feel like I am walking into the same house as everyone else. 😊. ❤

[@stacylamb5607]

Everything you do always looks awesome

[@karamelkafe2302]

Fabulous Ms.Becky love your new look and your home is terrific!

[@M-M-EXTRA]

and becky at her best, taking heed finally going to construct her own house, as the current one wasn’t the right one in the first place like i always said. now to answer your question becky: i do decorate my apartment for the christmas season, other than that there’s little space to store items that cater for different seasons but i do swap accessories around the apartment / the room so they’re not always in the same place to brighten and mix things up. this way the place looks fresh and never boring!

[@sharicook7693]

Words can’t express how I continue to be inspired & impressed with your talent as well the perfect dose of humor…xo

[@marysmith861]

I love the white drapes! The idea of extending the finishes of the console table and ladder into the kitchen is genius. I am a member of the Design Sessions and they are well worth it.

[@rebeccarobeson1]

Hey Marty, love hearing from you. As a design sessions member, a lot of these updates will make a whole lot of sense to you. So happy you’re among those who “make things happen” Love that 🙌🏻 RR

[@mildredjeff5024]

Rebecca, love, love , love the hair. Blonde is definitely your color. It takes years off. You were CD always attractive but this takes you to another level. As for your home “gorgeous!!!”

[@shaunnlawrence2916]

The only thing I would change about this silhouette? Would be to replace your hanging curtains with fabric with some textural detail. Moving in those potted plants to the center of the window(s), and moving those lamps out to the corners? Totally opened up the look of the room. As usual, perfect. Brava.

[@naomania3619]

I do switch things up, often. When I lived in a cottage I used to call it 'curating the cottage' I live in an apartment now but the principle is the same. I even move my houseplants around! Great video, thanks for sharing

[@rebeccarobeson1]

You bet Naomania 🤗 RR

[@ashleyowens1093]

I've learned so much from you and Sharrah over the years! And yes, I do change my decor with the seasons. Nothing dramatic but lighter in spring and summer. Richer and more cozy in fall and winter. And then, of course, there's Christmas!

[@arlineswardson6012]

As always, your talent amazes me. I change it up for the seasons, too. Duvet covers, table linens, throw pillows, etc. Love your videos! Can’t wait for the next one.

[@maritzar5720]

So beautiful! I like changing things up for the seasons and holidays. I change throw pillows, accessories, floral arrangements, plants, and I make sure have a seasonal scent like a BBW candle and plug ins. I even change my playlist. It’s a sensory experience!

[@shelbyhambright9543]

I am a diy queen. There are tons of frame sets on Facebook Marketplace. I have found frame sets at almost every Thrift Store as well. I paint them either black , brass, or distressed whit most the time. Then use canvas or paper mache sheets I make to stencil on my patterns. Sometimes I use a cardboard template I make to make sure I get the exact pattern in the right place on each art peice I make for the frames. Also Wallpaper sample books are a great place to find simple coordinated prints. Simple cut 4 coordinating prints to size to place into your frames.

[@tonichristiansen6347]

Love all of your ideas!

[@sueeparra7454]

Love this!! GENIUS!

[@geishrodgers5245]

[@ecampbell5837]

Staghorn fern can grow on a wall mount as well. It probably goes well with some of your style. Elephant ear is a plant too, so you aren’t far off! Similar shape just larger leaf. My husband is getting me design sessions for my birthday! Can’t wait to start, watched your videos for years, you are so talented!

[@cathyshaw1690]

I like to add a few new items or thrift store finds...each new season. I try to rotate and change out some small things on a seasonal basis. The holiday decor gets blended into the changes I made for a particular season. Love your videos! You're amazing.

[@kenn1936]

@@rebeccarobeson1 You taught me so much - you have no idea. Its the important things that I learned from you - that is NOT on any other channel. the tips and tricks when your room is not even, or your windows are weird, when your room is too small or even too big. No other interior designer goes into that - they all start off with rooms that are perfect!!!!???!!! And they go into expensive furnishing and matching wallpaper .... they do not get right into the details of how does lighting affect your room - how to light up certain things if you cannot do hardwire lighting, I could go on and on and on, but the design tricks and tips are YOU!! YOU created all those ideas and they are unique to YOU. If anyone wants to do the Course that is a steal at $9.99 a month - full access to everything. they too can learn all these tricks. HONESTLY the best learning experience and the most down to earth lessons in being creative and sorting little issues that you never thought was possible. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COURSE.

Hi Rebecca, I love to change up my decor for the seasons also. Except I am on a very limited budget, being a divorced and on one income. So I mostly reuse what I have, and thrift most of all my decor. I follow several u tubers for the current styles and trends and try to make it happen on a very low budget. I do appreciate all of your wisdom and design tips and tricks you give. I am blessed for the talent I have to create the more expensive looks for less. Thank you for your inspiration.
