LIVING ROOM + ENTRYWAY MAKEOVER | MID CENTURY MODERN TRANSFORMATION

LIVING ROOM + ENTRYWAY MAKEOVER | MID CENTURY MODERN TRANSFORMATION
I hope you enjoy watching my first makeover of 2020! Thank you so much to Article for gifting these gorgeous furniture pieces! This makeover had me step outside my comfort zone to add color, style and functionality! This time I hired a task rabbit to build the Ikea unit for me… and wow did that save me time! So I highly recommend doing that if you are thinking of getting a unit similar! I hope you can grab some inspiration from this makeover for your home, or any living room and entry way storage ideas you need!! Let me know what you think of the big reveal! #roommakeover #transformation

[@KristenMcGowan]

Happy Sunday Everyone! I have been working on this makeover for WEEKS now... and I am so excited to share it with you all! LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK OF THIS EXTREME BEFORE & AFTER!!

[@kritikaajaani]

Wow! Splendid! Awesome! Brilliant! Marvelous! Gorgeous! Beauuuutiful! Great! I have been following you since 2 years now... You are amazing... No one out there gives out this level of professionalism with a touch of belongingness and family to the room makeovers... Your style is Unique beyond words really! You will be one of the most successful person within a few years down the line... Coz your work reflects meticulously crafted makeovers!

[@MOSIEQB]

Omg I love it 😻 the smokey blue with the warm tan tones are stunning xx

[@KristenMcGowan]

MOSIEQB yes Smokey blue is totally the right word for it!

[@magenkegley124]

Your makeup is so flawless in this. Beautiful. What Foundation do you use?

[@cinthiavirgen6710]

So so beautiful , you just did a 360 on that space , love that little closet that was like amazing😍

[@blakejordan3742]

Honestly my favorite part was how much her brother in law hugged her !! He was so appreciative ! I would’ve cried honestly 😂 I’m in the process of renovating my FIRST home and it’s A LOT

[@decorbee]

Yeah that was sweet:)

[@Creyole]

I was going to say the same thing he was so appreciative and in awe. THAT is what makes it all worth it EVERY time! Great job Kristen!

[@slowslug3247]

I was thinking I wish I had a brother in law like that lol

[@areemetz07]

Um wow. Covering those 90s TV nooks with a large painting? GENIUS. Taking that for sure.

[@JinxyVision]

I was wondering how you we're going to hide it. Pretty smart indeed. I was overthinking it and was like... "Is she going to turn it into a book shelf?? xD

[@sissyrayself7508]

And they have hidden storage behind that picture now.

[@amyl363]

@@sissyrayself7508 Yeah, you can keep your secret stash of anything there.

[@pauljamilkowski3672]

Should've put an even BIGGER tv to hide it! 🤣

[@nataliap05]

You did an amazing job!!!!! Can I just suggest maybe swapping the broom stick with a wooden one just because it’s reflecting on the mirror and the wooden wouldn’t stand out at much and it’s a easy swap they have them at Home Depot

[@julieboops]

natalia Pereira good idea

[@pamelairvin3164]

I was thinking a white-handled broom would disappear well!!!

[@wandaroach765]

I was thinking the same thing 😀

[@dnllmaurer1]

The red broom stick was visible. Switching to a wood or white one would blend in easily. Everything else turned out absolutely fabulous as we'd expect. Kristen's solution for a front door coat closet is brilliant. Plenty of hanging space, adequate storage & seating to accommodate every one's transition needs when entering or exiting. The main room is chic & sophisticated yet practical & cozy. Perfect for hosting & entertaining adult guests. I enjoyed her Brother-in-Law's expressive reaction of sincere appreciation for Kristen's talents & efforts. He was obviously very pleased with the luxurious results she created in his home. He said the place looked staged & it does resemble an advertisement for a vacation resort. I find it satisfying to watch people as they initially view their newly transformed space. Especially if they get excited because the space genuinely reflects their wishes & lights them up with joyful emotions. I feel privileged to share a small part of their happiness, it's an uplifting experience loaded with positive vibes.

[@KeyshaFalisha]

Yessss very good idea

[@dzzedderguy]

My almost daughter-in-law is so crazy talented. I love love this makeover Kristen!! 💕💕

[@ooffish]

This is so cute

[@nasibamohamedali8387]

Awwww! She is!

[@rosesantos9438]

Great job! You know it’s good when you get 4 or 5 hugs from your brother-in-law and there isn’t even a tv in the room! 🥰

[@RachelW042]

This looks so incredibly beautiful. I love that picture over the fireplace and that blue with the tobacco color is just fabulous

[@jekku4688]

Wow, even "before" their home looks amazing, very modern and unique. And the fact you went MCM - YAY! However, be sure to put a bumper somewhere to keep the front door from banging into the storage unit! (kids and all) You have a great "eye" and are blessed with a great talent to do this! I hope this leads you FAR beyond what you're doing simply for your family here on YT - this is career making stuff, IMHO!

[@paramita_kalita9220]

The type of video I was waiting for ... Also can we take a moment and appreciate Kristen's choice of rugs ? I mean all of her rugs are breathtaking! This room looks AMAZING!

[@KristenMcGowan]

Paramita Kalita YES🙌🏼 thank you so much!

[@paramita_kalita9220]

@@KristenMcGowan u inspire me ❤

[@rachyweber8335]

Absolutely beautiful job!! You must paint the broom white to match the ikea cabinet. It's too jarring to see it reflected in the mirror. I am in love with your style and vibe. I think I'm going to order those 2 chairs in coconut for my living room. Can you please come to the states and decorate my living room????

[@hensmom6473]

Rachy great catch.....I agree.

[@uglyrat7070]

I agree Ranchy Weber

[@triciab5911]

Can't the broom fit in the white cupboard? 🤔

[@trentino506]

I would have the broom on the inside of the door so it's completely out of the way

[@crisannmccloy5274]

I love how Kristen accepts compliments so graciously... like she doesn't deny it's an amazing space but she does it so enthusiastically and in a way that is confident but not conceded. I admire that so much! Great work, darling! :)

[@adeebaanwar24]

I love your expression and excitement when you show house to your sister and brother in law 😊

[@sadieguenther1948]

Girl I love love love how you just get to it without preaching a sermon first we are learning so much from you blessings you ☀️☀️

[@MommaFromScratch]

Love the way greenery changes a space! Well done again!! Love all the furniture

[@nancymbilu9917]

Not all designers have the gift, the gift to see what others cannot see and to execute it at the level that you did. You're so talented & a natural. Such a delight to see the transformation. Looking forward to more of your videos.

[@OdaBergin]

Exactly my kind of style, gave me so much inspo😍 love it!

[@KristenMcGowan]

oda bergin yay! That makes me so happy!!

[@ItsMeTheSteph]

I love how it feels plush and luxurious all at once. My taste leans towards the plush/cushy side and the couch, poof automan, and blankets give it that feel.👍🏻

[@DahliaDivineMoore]

Awwww your brother in law's reaction is so touching! Such a heartwarming thing to see! Incredible job!

[@melissacommandant1957]

I’m not super sold on the marble pieces, but otherwise it comes together great and looks lovely!!

[@uglyrat7070]

I agree but I still love Kristen and her work

[@tysonb3568]

What did you guys not like about the marble?

[@MirandaJagoszewska]

Yes, these marble tables just do not work with this rug.

[@towfiqa]

What bothered me most was the shapes. I think I would have opted for triangle

[@jayhulrs1435]

Anyone cringe at white chairs with kids?

[@helenreid7022]

You did a great job ! Your sister certainly appreciates you! Loved everything you did! You are very talented!

[@MsVannie39]

I love this makeover so much!!! The furniture colors and the style of the living room both are my favorite type!!! Kristen you always amaze me!!!!!!

[@erninafia_]

best video ever😍😍 The house was so beautiful and the pieces u put together just make it more stunning. I love it 🥰 Pls make more room makeover, i really enjoy it. Ur videos help me to learn more about interior design and really inspired me.

[@wolfgangmarquardt]

Among many interiors on KZbin . I love Kristen ‘s style the most..❤❤

[@kenziegarza4508]

Mid mod is my favorite style and I love Article furniture so I’m obsessed with this makeover!

[@stacybroussard3097]

This is by far, my All time favorite room that you have made over.... You knocked it out of the park, Kristen 🤩🤩🤩 WELL DONE ♥️♥️♥️

[@jenniferhaas88]

This is so amazing. I'd love to be able to send you a picture of our living room to get ideas from you. You are so talented!

[@sashamclaughlin8704]

Well done - the room came to life with the textures and colours - also since it is family - creates a lovely memory

[@lilianarego6566]

Hi Kristen. My name is Liliana Sofia, I'm from Portugal. You are very talented, I love your sense of good taste, your respect for the purpose of decorating and the way you have to reason your talent. The truth is that you think like me and I love that 😊. Strangely, because of that, we look like friends, as if we were close in some way. Many congratulations ... always follow your intuition and never abandon your attunement, relaxation and love when you are working. It is this whole combination of being faithful to the various parts of your essence, that lead you to your brilliant, correct and captivating decisions. Everything is already natural in you, you only need to polish to continue to shine ... Every day all you need to do is feel and be happy. Big hug 🤗🇵🇹👏😇

[@dd_7787]

Love this! Everything came together so beautifully and I love how appreciative your sis and brother-in-law were! Great job! 👍🏾

[@kritikaajaani]

Straight out of those magazine photoshoot makeovers... I paused at the starting of the video & challenged myself of ways I can think of the possible use of this room if I would have been given the job make over.. Nothing as such special struck me! As to how to incorporate colours and how not to make it look all edged sharp lines running all along the room .. It seemed like an impossible job.. But you did it . Bright colourful homely while incorporating different shapes and sizes from center table to plants to side table to lamp and vase!

[@KristenMcGowan]

Kritika Jani hahah I always do the same!!😂 thank you!!

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

Amazing transformation!!! I love the marble coffee table! LOVE LOVE LOVE!! ❤️

[@jeanlanz2344]

Such a great makeover, Kristen! The wool & cotton textured rug, deep blue velvet couch, Italian leather chair, hammered silver, marble tables, painting, clothing storage...amazing organization and beauty. You are very gifted!!

[@roselarouge9107]

I like the color combinations and textures. However, the chairs in the window alcove need the end table for beverages and snacks more than the sofa, as the sofa already has a coffee table. I disagree with the pax wardrobe placement as it’s blocking light into the living room. For function...I would have put the bench under the window by the door, as it blocks the stairs. And the pax on the brick wall. Then the little space filler shelf thing is not needed.

[@usha9807]

is anyone OCD enough to want to shift the coffee table round so the lines of marble are level with the sofa!!!!

[@sweetpxtato]

I definitely loved this look and their reaction was so sweet! 🥺💗

[@emilymalcolm87]

Wasn't sure about the seating area by the window at first. But it totally worked . All the furniture pieces are gorgeous. Looks amazing.

[@vanessacairns2805]

I felt like that bench made it hard to go upstairs... I'm only just on to the living room part of the video so maybe it looks better later

[@aaafff925]

I did not like the new curtains, the old curtains are better

So glad I found this, my living room and entry way has such a similar layout. Massively helped my make over plans!

I’m not sure about the entry way functionality with little kids.
