[@mariamangion21]

Whenever I'm watching Kristen's room makeovers, it's like I'm watching HGTV. The way it's filmed and all the different shots and angles shows how much time she puts into it 💛 It's so professionally edited!

[@KristenMcGowan]

Thank you very much!!! Lots of effort goes into these videos thank you for appreciating it!!

[@lizziegreen8592]

I would say better than HGTV it is more as if a friend is talking to you, love that about her 💫

[@stormygirl1704]

She should have her own show on HGTV!

[@patriciadejesus4051]

Agreed!! The filming and editing was one of the first things that caught my eye when I started watching her videos. So professionally done. Very impressive.

[@susanholland6828]

Agree she’s better than 3/4 of hgtv she needs her own show ❤️💕❤️💕💕

[@megansmith6563]

You should have your own show. This is better than a lot of the work I've seen on HGTV and yet it's actually affordable enough viewers can recreate the look. Love it!

[@cheriebarnett3512]

Agree

[@ricksam1000]

This is one of the best proof of concepts, that high design does not require a high budget! It’s beautiful. ❤

[@KristenMcGowan]

Yes👏🏼 thank you!!

[@kaylameek68]

The idea of getting art from Etsy honestly and printing on Matte paper honestly blew my mind. Thank you so much for that. I can’t wait to finally use some of my cute thrifted frames!

[@najwaq17]

Hi. Can u guide me what's the most affordable print service in the US.

[@jordynpettigrew1525]

I will say the one thing Kristen has taught me is to be patient with big projects! I love that she collects her pieces over time to put together these amazing rooms!! Its awesome 🤩

[@taylorhoward8896]

Same!

[@eh8371]

I’ve learned that taking your time and getting pieces as u find something u like is a lot better than forcing it and buying stuff just to fill a space.

[@impatriciaparker]

Absolutely Stunning!! Looks like it's straight out of a magazine! Love the shades, the furnishings, lighting, gallery wall, rugs, and finishing touches!! EVERYTHING is just magnificent!! Please stand for your applause! ❤

[@purusoththarma1585]

[@AleksandraDjuric-tx8vt]

I recently started organizing my house and found Kristen on the KZbin channel and I subscribed. The best decision I made! I honestly enjoyed watching your video and what I like the best is the fact that you let us know where to get the products you are using, so helpful. I’m blown away by what you come up with. Thank you for being out here, and helping us make our homes look like a magazine. ❤

[@zahraaziz3151]

I am honestly impressed by your style, the fact that you use affordable items and how well you put everything together. New subbie here!

[@purusoththarma1585]

[@lottawickstone1874]

This is so impressive, well done Kristen. I love seeing how much you’ve evolved as a designer, this is next level!

[@KristenMcGowan]

wow thank you so much!!

[@tasmeerachowdhury2336]

more than the decor or transformation, my favorite part of the video was (both) your GENUINE excitement bordering on disbelief that you get to have and enjoy this space. so wholesome! congrats on your continued success and growth!

[@purusoththarma1585]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnbXnKVsjb6efZI

[@jovlahovich965]

Awwwww I loved Christian's expression at the end. You did such a beautiful job and he looked so proud of you

[@purusoththarma1585]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnbXnKVsjb6efZI

[@kimbullett3293]

Y’all are so damn cute! His reaction was so genuine and heartfelt ; you could just see the shock and excitement in his eyes, like a kid on Christmas morning. Hope you’re very proud of yourself, Kristen. You did an amazing job with your talent! Feeling inspired, Kim

[@purusoththarma1585]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnbXnKVsjb6efZI

[@teresalacubana4035]

This can literally be a cover on a book. I would purchase it, especially with all your makeovers/upgrades on every page🥰 Girl you are awesome ❤️

[@KristenMcGowan]

That would be amazing!!

[@Kathleen5429]

Totally agree! What a beautiful room Kristen. You have outdone yourself.

[@saraharthurs4379]

Your hubby steals the show! I love how supportive and sweet he is. He didn’t just give the usual “looks great” he had examples and you could just tell he genuinely cared. So so cute

[@purusoththarma1585]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnbXnKVsjb6efZI

[@rosieposie9564]

He looked a bit underwhelm to me especially standing there with his hand in his pocket, then later his reactions seemed a bit fake. She looks so much more into him than the reverse. She did a great job with the makeover even though it does follow a kind of trendy formula (white walls, matching sofa color, neutral accents, etc) that is a bit unoriginal but the result is still beautiful.

[@dawncawthra3519]

I felt that too! He loved it

[@jenniferlynn3537]

@@rosieposie9564 This video is now nearing close to 2 million views. In Christian’s defense, it must be really difficult to react spontaneously knowing your response will be posted on KZbin and seen by millions. Besides which: it’s been my experience that most men are generally not all that interested in home decor - just so long as it doesn’t break the bank, they don’t need to be careful around it, and they’re provided with a comfortable place to kick back on. In any event, the “shocked, amazed, thrilled” reaction is expected ...so you know. 😉He supported his loved one, which is what’s most important.

[@DioSuonatore]

Not me almost crying during the big reveal. BEAUTIFUL. You are TALENTED. A lot of people just don’t have your eye.

[@phyllisjrcrestorationdecordesi]

Beautifully Styled and Decorated Kristen. It's soooo important that your husband feels at home when he walks through the front door. I'm sure he can relax from a hard day because of the love you infused in your space. TFS....Blessings

[@AlannaFoxx]

This looks so cosy and elegant. Great transformation Kristen!

[@purusoththarma1585]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnbXnKVsjb6efZI

[@allikasterg3021]

It all looks beautiful! What color is the wall paint?

[@paradisoperduto6301]

I absolutely love everything you do. I do have to say, though, the best thing about this video was Christian. He seems so chill and kind and laid back. What an awesome guy. You two are the cutest and I am so excited and happy for you. You deserve it all. Great work! xoxo

[@KristenMcGowan]

He is all of those things!! And he loves the space so much which makes me the happiest!!!❤️

[@letitiajohnson6987]

I love Christian's reaction and how genuine his support for what you do is. That's a good feeling when your other half gets excited about what you're passionate about! I think this is my favorite of all your designs!

[@purusoththarma1585]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnbXnKVsjb6efZI

[@Versiongurl]

This is beautiful! As far as the shades I didn’t know how outdated vertical blinds looked. You actually saved me from making a mistake. The new shades you installed looks so much better.

[@abbylamb744]

Christian's reaction was so wholesome! I love how this turned out! Amazing!!

[@purusoththarma1585]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnbXnKVsjb6efZI

[@larm1994]

I’m a big Thrifter, so I was thrilled to see the thrifted items! I love the make over!!

[@purusoththarma1585]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnbXnKVsjb6efZI

[@agiagi5745]

Often, when you put together the furnitures, I am like "ohh, i don't see it. I don't think it's gonna work this time. I don't like the choices". And then in the end I end up speachless. Again and again. You are so talented!!

[@KristenMcGowan]

🤣❤️ just got to trust the process!

[@laurie812]

Don’t be nervous about a white sofa! I took a chance and bought one 6 years ago and it still looks good - even with a black cat that loves it as much as I do. I wash the cushion covers every spring and fall with NON-CHLORINE bleach (I use Ecover), and a little borax. I use fabric softener because I hang them to dry and don’t put them in the dryer. If toddlers or dogs come to visit I just throw a blanket over it. Your living room looks lovely and I’m obsessed with your drapery solutions for such a massive wall of windows. Great job!

[@minaseyoseph]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqfMeJ6Papxjn7M

[@shannonmcrae1364]

It’s so cute!! I would love to see you do a living room make over or “tips” for people with young kids! So like no breakables or sharp edges, easy to clean fabrics, places to hide toys, etc

[@persona5305]

ahh yess please right? please do it😊

[@florawright5452]

Not cute... It's beautiful!!!

[@allikasterg3021]

What would be another great color sofa to add here if one has children and dogs?

[@cherylrawn3771]

i love how much he loved it the smile on his face he is so proud of you and the beautiful home you are working on

Your living room looks amazing. I love the thrifted finds especially. I still haven't warmed up to those strands of big beads; too old for new tricks I guess lol. Thanks for letting us know about the digital gallery wall, a great resource.

[@creilly3728]

You should be thrilled with this makeover because it’s absolutely gorgeous! I love the colors, textures and patterns. I agree with Mark. The gallery wall is stunning. The thrifted lamp is the perfect accent for that wall.

[@purusoththarma1585]

[@maiyang7790]

Kristen, thank you for always inspiring me into creating a happier and beautiful place to enjoy in. It’s always nice to see all the transformation. I’m always struggling with finding my sense of style but I love how you are able to mix everything together to fit your own style.

[@aliciacrowe3364]

I absolutely adore the makeover. I’m currently working on renovating and updating a house that is 120 years old. I have been going back and watching your makeover videos to get some ideas! I really appreciate how you explain your choices and how to make rooms look cohesive.

The double layer rugs, the gallery wall and the scaling of the furniture bring them all together. The textures and tonal are so on trend. You’re right the vertical blind had to go.. it’s instantly age the space. Your thoughtfulness content and editing is top notch.

[@almaosmeni-olaveson1444]

Love the curtains in the living room so much!

[@roseee9564]

Definitely worth the wait! It turned out incredible!! I’m obsessed with the whole gallery wall set up including the armchairs 😍 Looks so cosy and homey yet chic

[@elizarline]

Love how this came out! Only been watching your content for a month or so now, but I can already see how well this fits your style.

[@namewithheld8115]

I'm actually a big fan of vertical blinds, and usually prefer them to curtains. I have to admit that I was really impressed with the Serena blinds. They looked really good. Hopefully they're available in my country. Overall, I was also extremely impressed with the living room. The finished version looked fantastic. Well done on being able to envision something, then bringing it to life so well.

[@MyStyleMyHome]

Kristen your space looks amazing. That gallery wall is one of my favs in the room as well. You made all the colors and textures in your living room blend so well. Excellent work

kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqfMeJ6Papxjn7M

[@shannajoseph9069]

Quick question…the room is gorgeous, but why do designers not include personal pictures?

[@LoviPon]

Quick answer: they're not "aesthetic" and too personal for a designer to use in a professional setting (for example a youtube channel or blog, or setting up a customer's house, they'd leave that for the actual customer to do). The thing with professionals decorating houses is that they want the audience to imagine themselves living in that house, and seeing another person's family photos breaks the immersion. That and there's no accounting for personal taste, I personally REALLY don't like displaying family pictures, I just don't think it looks good (like an older person's home). To each their own I guess :)

[@AshzxQuidYT]

@@LoviPon Everything you said, is so true. If you do want to do family photos, pick a space like a bedroom or something out of the main living spaces. I don't display family pictures in my main living spaces. I have two pictures, both are black and white and look like art. But it's a personal choice.

[@mamaof3167]

You are so talented! Love the final look and Christian’s reaction 🥰
