Finding New Ways to Improve Your Spaces 2023

[@the7Silvas]

Hello, I’ve seen your vídeos here and there, and I’d like to share that you seem so sharp, so pretty and elevated. And what keeps me coming back is that though I know your clients are on a different level, you still speak in a manner that doesn’t make me feel like I have to purchase lots of expensive furniture to make my house work… because I couldn’t do that. I love what you did with your subscriber’s videos, suggesting changes with their own furniture… such a clever way to share your knowledge and attract more people.

[@teresawinder-wells2315]

Love love love all the updates. Painting the framing white made a big difference and running the squash colored pillows and ottoman through your living room tied everything together. Art on tv wrapped everything in a neat bow. Bravo!

[@dmarkey4360]

I love it and it all makes a difference. I love the TV with the picture. I have finally learned to do pillow covers so as I change them out for the seasons they store easily. 🙌👏❤️

[@ElaineR.-ft6tu]

I couldn’t live without pillow covers. I love the paint color on the shade topper, what a difference. Looks awesome.

[@marcellespeake4272]

Painting the cover was a game changer. It looked nice before, but it did draw the eye. Just a little too busy. Now, you are right, the simple change really does "allow the moulding its due." KZbin has amazing pictures and slide shows for the tv. As the they get bigger (who really needs an 80" tv 😮), that "big black box" just takes over the whole room! Noticed the poof before you mentioned it. A bright pop of color in an otherwise neutral room is almost an eyesore if it is not spread around appropriately in small doses - and you did it expertly! Thanks for all you do. I have learned so much from you. God bless and keep you and yours. May this year be your best.

[@ellenfretz4096]

Between the color pop of the pillows …the cohesiveness of the wall paint and the pieces that you painted… just make the room !! (not to mention the TV )…your house looks fabulous. I so enjoy your creativity.

[@carolynratliff1380]

I can’t believe you painted in your good clothes and didn’t even make a mess!!!! You really are spectacular!!!!! Are you goring to paint the brown one in the kitchen now??? Love you more. Hugs carolyn

[@JanBee1122]

I love how the tension between the cove moulding and the top of the window casement has been removed, creating a sense of flow and airiness. The tv/art piece definitely enhances the overall feel of the room and allows you to forget about an art piece over the tv (which I would automatically have filled over a regular tv with blackened screen). The only thing I might have done differently was to mount the tv onto the wall in order to place the art more spacially into the centre of the space. The pillows tie it all together magically. Well done, I very much enjoyed this video showing how the smallest of changes can have some of the largest impacts.

[@lhallmbp8914]

I agree. so much better now the window housing is painted out. The TV actually is on the wall. You can see a wall bracket when her son is helping with the TV. It looks like it isn't because the sound bar and the clock are right under it.

[@kathleenmathews6096]

I see your point regarding the TV but it is probably mounted for viewing from the seating areas. I dislike TVs that are mounted so high I have to tilt my head back. 😊

[@lyndacarrow792]

Wow! I love everything you did. it is glamorous but very comfortable at the same time. You wouldn't be afraid to sit on the couch to watch tv or have a conversation. I agree that the three changes made a big impact on the overall look you were going for. Bravo!

[@jorgisanders7611]

Painted out so much better and I love the soft look ! ITS A WINNER REBECCA. !!!

[@teresabell1014]

My husband is a carpenter, when he gutted our kitchen 18 years ago. He would mock up the cabinets from old appliance boxes and we would live with it. After several days I would know exactly what I wanted . So after 18 years I still love my kitchen...I have changed a few finishes but other than that, I still love it ! Love everything you did...

[@claudetteleblanc5273]

Love that you painted the crown moulding. And the pillows and poof are perfectly matches your kitchen stools. Now the two room gives a nice flow. Thanks my talented one. 💖💖💖💖

[@carolyngrotaers4454]

Your room transformation looks beautiful, Rebecca. The two rooms look fabulous together. 😀

[@pamelairvin3164]

The painted casing now sings, "light and airy!" without distracting from the lovely window treatments. What you call squash, I see as caramel...and the pillows and pouf are the perfect accents. Wish we would have thought about a TV with "art-ability"...what a great resolution to the black box conundrum. Blessings!!!

[@oseasviewer7108]

There is always room for improvement I have found when you establish the decor in your living spaces - your perspective changes and all of a sudden you have that a-ha ! moment of this can look so much better (budget dependent). We live in spaces where after a period of time things become invisible, art work for example can suddenly become more vibrant when you move it around to new locations in room/s. I always enjoy your offerings and advice and plan to put them to use in my ever increasing to-do list.

[@vcarmichelli7781]

I am so excited Rebecca! After 14 yrs my husband and I are purchasing another home. We lost ours, well we know where it still is we just couldn't live there anymore, in that horrible 2008-9 inflation/everyone lost their job debacle. We've been renting since then. Now we are getting 4 acres and a home in Tennessee! I am so ready to make my home MY home, ya know? And yeah, I'm doing what I want and am not going to worry about resell value. Why? Because I'm not renting from the next owners. They'll do what they want to do to it too. So, onward and upward! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@Jd-Chasingthelight77]

Congratulations on the new beginning 🎉

[@lindablauw9362]

I love the painted out blind housings. Huge difference. Also love the pillows and tv art. And Rebecca you continue to inspire and entertain. Hugs and kisses to you

[@MHand623]

Love all of your updates. Your two rooms flow perfectly. Those pillows work so well with your counter stools. It's so cohesive. That was a magnificent idea to paint the headers the same color as your walls. Great job👍🏼

[@Jennifer-nz2ss]

Love the art.The trees were nice. Im a grey fan and the pillows are beautiful. I have 2 slipper chairs the same color as the pillows. Like the white too.

[@Reyes3014-wW]

The upgrades look great. Especially the windows, so beautiful and elegant. ❤

[@samanthacardimon4600]

Yep! Painting the window treatment area made a massive difference. More so than I would have thought. (And, as an aside, moving the curtain rod up in my house is such a game changer! My window treatments are sooo much better!)

[@camis.1347]

@Samantha Cardimon LOL, perfect! I notice it in other people's houses too if its not high enuf

[@santinadiponti6402]

You’ll have to do a video one day of where you shop for your clothes. I love your fashion sense and of course your home design style.

[@juderichard9919]

She has videos about purchasing her cabi clothing

[@nancyandrews8891]

OH Yes Your New TV and Surround Sound is Wonderful & Beautiful, we like ours. QUESTION: What kind of cleaner do You use to clean Your Large TV? Thank You, Nancy

[@mayrablanco2013]

I think it makes a huge difference. I didn't notice it before, but after done . . . . perfect! Love the pillows!

[@constantineangelgutierrez1851]

Yeah it looks cleaner with the window thingie painted. Love the pillows fabulous. --

[@louanneross6410]

Perfect choices. I love that you painted the Luton covers. Brilliant idea. Now you don't get step ladder affect just smooth transition. You're the best Rebecca.

[@Cherrysmith2809]

Rebecca, that was a huge bang for your buck. Those light and gleaming touches are everything girl!

[@cvonsutphen]

*Cohesiveness via Color, Pattern and Texture* . I have a semi-open concept space and it always amazes me how using a tight color palette improves the flow. Navy, light blue, ivory and beige were my picks for my Summer 2023 Re-fresh. Stripes for the pattern, and hyacinth baskets for texture. Each of the main living spaces has varying percentages. Great choices Rebecca, the windows are greatly improved and that simple addition of a color pop with the pillows and ottoman.... Chef's Kiss!

[@straightarrowmotivationswi5378]

Wow!! Painting the casings turned out just perfect. I wasn't so sure at first, but I love it.

[@carmenjuarez1219]

Those changes were brilliant. Especially the windows. It makes it so elegant

[@nancybarendt7877]

I am so with you when it comes to if you don't buy it now you will be sorry and it won't be there if you go back because I have done it so many times....You are also right about how many pillows you buy. I have so many I have 3 storage areas and closets upstairs that are full of pillows. My husband tells me to take the 12 step program when it comes to looking at pillows which he means take 12 steps away from pillows and rugs which is so hard for me. Love the changes looks great. It sometimes only takes a little bit of somethin to make a big difference.

[@CosplayKitchen]

You are the queen of flow. I loving the crushed velvet! Also, I love when you encourage people to paint things. It is such an upgrade!!

[@charlotteduran9671]

The changes made a beautiful difference! Thanks for sharing the tips!🤗

[@leanetta3673]

Rebecca, Rebecca, Rebecca! I've been following you and your daughter for years. I find myself always seeing details to be finessed and improved upon. May it never stop. Painting the window treatments was the "bomb diggity"! Yay you! Thank you for the simple tips and videos❤

[@MizJilly]

That made a YUUUUGE difference!! There was always something bothering me about the windows, as beautiful as they are. I thought maybe you needed drapes with a border or something, but what you did NAILED it! And the pillows carrying the color around the space - perfect! That's an easy add that sometimes people overlook thinking it's too simple to work. With the focus off the tops of the windows, your eye really goes to your beautiful entertainment console and the windows actually look taller. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant!

[@irenetovar7756]

I like the changes you made. Painting the frames made them blend in with the wall, and the art on your TV looks pretty. My favorite are the pillows, just love the color.

[@lisabroussardjanuska6774]

Everything turned out beautifully!! Oh, and I LOVE that clock!!!

[@tanyathomas77]

Rebecca the updates are beautiful. Love the white instead of the brown on the windows.

[@lah_bang2179]

This is beyond interior design school. I admire her creativity. She is not bookish. She thought of an idea and test it. Congrats for all your success. I am a fan even before Kinvowen.

[@j-ru5527]

Hi Rebecca! I love these simple changes! Please make more of these types of videos! I love seeing restyling videos that offer BIG impact with MINIMAL time, effort and money!

[@teresabolling4416]

WOW - looks amazing - it makes a huge difference and I love the pillow addition!

[@beckyhendricks2453]

A job well done Rebecca! Thank you for sharing your God-given talents with us!

[@michellereed5943]

Well Ms.Rebecca, you did it again. At first I thought you were just keeping busy, but that does look better. You are the professional.

[@anneburoker8908]

What a clean, simple change that really brings a flow to the walls and rooms. I never noticed the crown moulding before but now it stands out beautifully. Just a few changes that made big impact. Thanks for sharing.

[@BeyondClaire]

Absolutely beautiful! Thank you Rebecca for showing us how just a few changes can give you a new refreshing space! 🥰

[@aliciawest7426]

love it, painting the top of the windows white and adding that pop of color makes everything flow.

[@crobinson1479]

Love the painted window shade covers and the pillow covers. The white paint blends in with the wall and drapes, so your eye doesn't stop at the tops of the windows. Much better...

[@janniestanley]

Wow! Thx for this! A little bit of paint, pillows and a tv that turns into wall art. And boy did the paint and pillows make a difference! Tv made a difference but a little pricier of an endeavor. Thx Rebecca. You’re always spot on.

[@kathrynford795]

I didn’t even notice the line over the window. But since you are there and looking every day, you noticed the possibility . I enjoy your thought process and I’m updating my family room next week. Thank you for all your tips.

[@nancyduffy1990]

Love the white, brightens the room! Pillows are always my first change. They are gorgeous

[@PPN451]

Love love love all the updates!! Especially the pillow color!! Absolutely spectacular!!

[@ndgrandma1818]

You kill me with your design skills! I love everything you did! Love you to the moon and back, Rebecca!

[@ladyd6877]

Absolutely beautiful as always. I watch your segments to inspire me because I get overwhelmed. My pipes burst and flooded my home. I am trying my best to get my home to feel more like home again.

[@phyllisdrinnen1837]

Love what you did especially painting out the upper window framing. Thanks for the pointers. We love you too Rebecca.

[@RealinNYC]

Loved changing the color of the window frames. I like the TV idea. Not too keen on the pillows. I am like you. If I see something I like and have no idea what I am going to use it for, I get it. It's better than getting home and bemoaning that you didn't get it. I can't tell you how many times I have gone back to the store and its gone.

[@LP-fz5xm]

Oh I’m more impressed with the ease you climbed up there and the steadiness of your hands painting up there. Very inspiring! 🙌🏽

[@lucillearevalo7079]

WOW! You are amazing. I have learned so much from you....I would have never had my house look so nice since following you.I too have projects that I take on to continuously tie the rooms together. Thank you so much for being there.

[@kaleigh4081]

The white paint on the window treatments looks so much better! I also thought something was wrong there, but didn't know what. Now it looks fantastic.

[@AS-nr8em]

Hi, yes, I can never find the dress when I need it so I purchase it whenever I see it! I have now about 6 on rotation. I rotate them so no one notices that I am wearing the same dress. I also for example change the jacket to shawl and shoes, bag etc... The trick is not to purchase anything trendy which only lasts for one season. I love the update! Also I use the same concept for my windows and outfits. I try not to interrupt the vertical line flow (I am on the shorter side). I wear lighter colours together and darker colours together. Lots of love and thank you! I've learnt so much from you, I wish I could send you pics of my budget makeovers so far ❤️

[@kateyoungblood6598]

The windows now look so much taller, More in fitting to the room that was a good choice. I love the pillows, even though I think they reflect fall.... Would one more color help them be "summery"? But you are the expert!

[@danielleallen9678]

Magazine photo shoot ready!! I love how this area turned out. Repeating that beautiful butterscotch velvet in the kitchen and living room is perfection

[@carlettagoodrich-mann1377]

Framing the television looks like a piece of art . Sound bars are amazing.

[@niloebrahimi3527]

I’m one of your followers for many years , I believe you are amazing The Art is not just your caress . It has feeling on any a littel chang that you are doing . You are one of my big dream to have your magic interior design .for my dream house. Hopefully God help me to get there 🙏🏻🍃

[@Fabby47]

Love all you did. It looks great ! Instead of your puff I added a beautiful Chinese garden stool and love it. You right though, it’s a great conversational piece. Thank you.

[@deborahteagle9486]

Your updates created the flow that you speak on quite often. I must admit I loved the before, but the after created the flow. ❤❤❤

[@cathydavis1877]

Looks so Great! Love it!

[@gingerotto1713]

Yes, everything you did is fabulous, as always!

[@nancykimbrough6567]

I really like how you painted out the dark blind housing and the new pillows! also love your Cabi clothes.

[@SparklyOne]

So much better! Love all three elements 🙌🏻😀

[@designwithemma]

Love that you painted it white, yes love the pop of gold beautiful ❤❤

[@mlradcliffe3955]

Love the painted covers. Great idea for the TV

[@douglasmcdonald6467]

Your right the little changes make a difference . Very subtle and beautiful Xxx

[@chantalhanekom2977]

Love love love it it's like the old picture rails. Bought a fixer upper and also thought they have to go and removed them. It was dividing my walls.

[@brendarussell9640]

That updates that you made are spectacular. You elevated a beautiful space to a whole new level. Painting out the blind cover was a wonderful idea which works so well. Thank you for the extraordinary ideas that are easy to change a space without spending a lot of money. Have an extremely blessed weekend!! You are the best!!❤️

[@joanndelise7292]

These little changes make a big difference. Adding that pillow color and ottoman, love. Really like that you painted those pieces. Everything looks lovely. Your so right, little changes make a big statement. Always enjoy watching you and getting creative ideas.

[@momfit2011]

I’m a design sessions member and I’ve learned so much from you. Love everything you’ve done.

[@rebeccarobeson1]

That’s awesome news momfit2011! I love nothing more than to hear from Design Sessions members who are finding our library of digital content helpful and actionable in their own homes. Thanks for letting me know you love them 🙌🏻 RR

[@joyceyongteck3574]

I love it so beautiful and elegant. Thank you Rebecca for sharing your beautiful ideas with us ❤❤️❤️

[@hollymaydole608]

[@pricedesign8805]

The changes in your space look great! I love the pillows & drapes!

[@toscaemmanuel8433]

Well done!!!Perfect!!!

[@joannchaloux5169]

The changes make a big difference. It’s beautiful!

[@irenenorrisrobling2766]

Yes! The pillows were genus! Also definitely would have done the same thing with the windows. The white brings your eye smoothly through.

[@cherylevansrn8419]

Great flow you’ve created here, the wall to the casing, the pillows and bar stools beautiful. I can’t stop buying pillows either. You bring so much inspiration to us!!!

[@kaythompson8721]

WOW...those windows look amazing!! Love how the pillows tied in with your kitchen.

[@joeo7257]

YES! painted out. looks Great. I soon hope to buy a picture frame TV like yours. I think it may give off too much light though. To "sell the effect" as artwork, I'll put a light above it. The kind designed to light up artwork, except I'll never turn it on! Clever?

[@TheJennie1202]

Love this improvements! TV is a great upgrade to the room adding a cozier feeling! The pillows do as well. Window change makes the crown molding stand out and draws your eye upward! ❤

[@cindypass3861]

You are amazingly talented. The windows look so much better but I never noticed the brown.

[@shirleyscott1333]

It all looks great it looks better with the white paint good job

[@lieslehardt6987]

Love your top and fun, little updates anyone can do! Yay! :)

[@yvonnegibson5304]

Just beautiful! I'm having problems refreshing my living room right now! Just purchased new pillow covers and changed the furniture around. Hopefully, I'll be satisfied.

[@angelaplested8588]

You are amazing it all looks so good. And that is me couldn't find a dress I loved for my sons wedding. But now a year later I have found so man nice dresses . love the painted white looks great. Fabulous!!!!

[@barbnauman705]

It’s beautiful! Yes, much brighter with the white! Total elegance!! You’ve come a long way since you moved in, Becky!!❤❤🎉

[@EEN63]

When you mentioned painting the shade housing white, I was internally screaming “Noooooo”! Then when you said to paint them the wall color I had a big sigh of relief! The wall color makes it disappear into the wall but a stark white will jump out just like the bronze. Bravo!

[@ediefrasier2932]

I have started watching your videos. I ordered curtain panels for my living room window and rods to hang them on. These will be up at the ceiling. I also ordered two matching floor lamps in a simple drum shade. I had to get the same curtain panels and rod for my french door in the dining room since it is only 3 feet away from the living room window. Thank you for the design information.

[@marymarks7046]

It looks fantastic! It wasn't a big change but it made a a big difference. I think you knocked it out of the park! Are you getting ready for Christmas, well of course you are. You already went to the Christmas Decor Event earlier this year! I can't wait to see what you will be doing!

[@mj-my2dn]

It does make a difference, love the window change!!!

[@ellasscraps7734]

Your such a beautiful lady thank you Australia watching.❤your home is beautiful it’s so you.

[@kathleenm5026]

Love the new touches. Painting it out gives it a more sleek look. Love the pillows. They really do tie in the rooms.

[@lisabumgarner1301]

YES, YES... YES...I've always LOVED your taste , I might not be able to afford it .... but it gets your mind to process the possiblies. Thank you Miss R. ❣

[@lawalln]

At first I thought painting the dark wood was a mistake and you don’t make mistakes. I did. After seeing it completed I loved it!

[@lesleydowns443]

Absolutely stunning. Three little changes that made a fab impact

[@PJnTEXAS1]

Yes, love the changes! How simple and amazing, your eye for detail is impeccable!

[@lesliehall1613]

Love the changes, especially the pops of color that the pillows bring.I also like the pops of greenery from your plants.A+++ job😊
