I love the Murphy bed. The room is beautiful. I know his parents are going to love it too. Great job Monica...

[@teresastory2010]

OMG...Monica, you look AMAZING. Great job on the makeover, too. 😂

[@Positivityispowerful]

Ikr?? Her outfits are so cute!! And she makes such beautiful spaces!!

[@jhutch1681]

I hope you are well!

[@kayingthao5072]

I love love this colorful room.! I was so unsure about all the paint colors at first but once I saw how it ties in with the floral wallpaper I understood.The gallery wall that hid the tv was genius.

[@deannamerritt493]

I absolutely love the colors and patterns used in this room.

[@AnnEaton-xj6ic]

That is one of the prettiest rooms I have ever seen!! Good job Monica & Lowe’s!!🥰

[@marykempski3986]

I love the Murphy bed idea not just for a guest room. Children’s rooms with Murphy beds allows for playtime space within the same room. Love entire room makeover. ❤

[@avigailsumaylo6253]

Omg!! I love this guest room/ office. It is so cute!! The different colors and wallpaper on the Murphy Bed cover is so beautiful!! I love that idea because it gives you so much space even when your not using it.

[@nicl6478]

Monica, you are absolutely amazing!!! I personally won't choose these colours but you have completely nailed the brief. I believe the owners and their parents are going to enjoy this room for a very long time!! Can't thank you enough to demonstrate a girl's super power, and you look so gorgeous as well!!

[@d.a.hankersoniv396]

First of all...MONICA!!! You look amazing! I used to watch these all the time but haven't seen a weekender episode in a while. You go girl! I love this! The Murphy bed is the answer to my guest room challenges. I want you to come do my room next😅!

[@aimeescanlon4849]

I love the wallpaper and the tv cabinet...another fab makeover Monica

[@jimtownsend7899]

This is perfect timing. I started working today on turning a bedroom into an office for my wife/guest room. So many ideas, I have to now stop and rethink this! That is, unless you want to come to my house and do it for me, Monica! I’m right here in Central Bucks! Let me know!!!

[@makewayforthebuster]

I love the wall you painted in different colour strokes. I immediately thought of Charleston, the farm house Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant shared in Sussex. They painted patterns and murals on all the walls. It’s another connection to England.

[@tlanc1283]

Perfect solution and so pretty and fun.

[@aliciamarie12]

LOVE this makeover!

[@jaclynstewartoclair208]

Beautiful makeover. Looking forward to your next video.

[@bluecurlygirl]

Another awesome makeover.

[@elisabethdowd1869]

I was so prepared to hate the accent wall but I love it!! It really came together with the wallpaper and framed florals. Another great design. Thanks Monica and Lowe's.

[@sandieyule1644]

love the colors without being hit in the face with a loud color!!! Love the fan too!!!

[@patadams9250]

Love this!

[@judithdomangue9995]

Love this cheerful space and the Murphy bed!

[@lmginnovations-deck-builders]

Your enthusiasm for construction is contagious. Watching your videos always puts me in a good mood and motivates me to start new projects. Your positive energy and expert guidance are a winning combination. Keep up the amazing work!

[@lowes]

We're so glad you enjoy the series! 💙

[@vicihuizinga8157]

Fantastic transformation 🎉

[@kiddycar16]

Perfect! Awesome! Fabulous! Great job! 👍👍👏🎉 Love them both!!!

[@megrizzo1385]

So pretty and colorful! I usually like blacks and orange but theses colors I love ! Love the room!!

[@holandadelgado831]

Monicaaaa Manguinnnnn I need you in my life,come to Houston,TX

[@jannibal9273]

I love all the color! I remember years ago you did an episode with a murphy bed in it too - they are so smart to use in a tight/multi-use space.

[@lowes]

We must say, you have an excellent memory and great taste! Thanks for tuning in for this episode. 💙

[@katietatey]

I love the aesthetic of this room!!! I like both the office and bedroom versions. I would love to do something like this for my 2nd bedroom, which is similar to the original state of this room - multiple functions but not doing any of them particularly well. Love the rainbow wall, the wallpaper, and the TV cabinet. The Murphy bed looks extra cozy. This is one of my favorite rooms that you've done. Just so bright and cheery.

[@MBMCincy63]

beautiful change ,love the murphy bed and the paint job!

[@lowes]

Thanks for chiming in, Mary! We 💙 those parts too.

[@robynsnest22]

Love both sides to this room!

[@jhutch1681]

Love the soft teal colours, but I would have chosen prettier bedspread and throw. Great upgrade!

[@olgasirota8009]

I love your show because it’s inspiring! every time I watch it the next project gets formed in my head! keep going, please! you’re so talented, Monica! looking forward for your great ideas!

[@bethaquino5217]

Love it! I am wanting to do both in one room. I didn’t know Lowes had Murphy beds. Very cute room!

[@alenazima7474]

Love colors! You always amaze me with your ideas for projects. Thank you for your hard work

[@marycoffee7366]

Love it as both! Beautiful use of color and pattern 👏👏👏👏

[@janicetribbiani7535]

Fun room!! But take those drapes to the ceiling!! 😅

[@livingoneplantatatime3891]

Love it 🤩😍

[@disignerin5113]

Perfect! A little side table on the left side niche of the bed with a small light would be nice ...

[@nanalynne]

I love Murphy beds!

[@g.s.c.g.s.c.3262]

Monica, I’m so happy you are back to designing. It’s your jam! Your ideas are so brilliant! I’m ignoring the heat by enjoying The Weekender! Excuse me, please! I must get back to my binge watching of Monica Mangin’s and Lowe’s can do it up sweet!

[@lowes]

Stay cool out there and keep binge-watching - we've got more DIY goodness coming your way! 👀💙

[@estherlongmore9443]

I’m thrilled to see bright colors and patterns being used. I’m so tired of sad beige houses. (Never cared for them.) Also, I was just thinking of doing something like that TV closet for myself. Would love to get some instructions for it.

[@BrunoKalix]

So well done! The Murphy bed idea is brilliant! The hand painted walls seem too arts and crafts for me though. Overall greatly executed!

[@lowes]

Everyone has their own style, which makes DIY makeovers so unique and fun - that murphy bed reveal was amazing! Thanks for watching and letting us know your take on this episode, Alexander. 💙

[@patirvin-bz9pg]

Fabulous. Your best project(s) so far. Question: when it is 🎉used as a guest room, will the homeowner still be able to use it as her office? The in-laws stay 2-6 weeks.

[@leslieschmitt7749]

What a gorgeous room! Great job!! 😍

[@joyceschneider8377]

Love the makeover of the office/guest room. very nice.

[@lowes]

We couldn't agree more, Joyce! Great taste.👍

[@roxytocin_216]

Absolutely amazing transformation! You're the best, Monica ❤

[@robinsilk9445]

Beautiful room! 💗

[@MeanNYer]

That decorative TV box with the folding doors is such an awesome idea! I will definitely use that for my storage room to guest room remodel.

[@lowes]

Wishing you the best of luck with your remodel! You've got this. 😎👍

[@avigailsumaylo6253]

Omg!! I love this guest room/ office. It is so cute!! The different colors and wallpaper on the Murphy Bed cover is so beautiful!! I love that idea because it gives you to s if space when your not using it.

[@bast713]

Bright colors are not my jam, but I think this is really playful and functional and absolutely fits the couple who own the house. Really really nice job.

[@angelicoaa]

Monica should design everything for everyone.always. she's amazeballs. Truly. xo

[@musicismylove92]

You won me over on that painted wall. I was so skeptical but it looks really beautiful especially tied in with the wallpaper

[@darlaburnett8666]

OK, I was listening to this video the other day. I’m glad I went back to watch. It gives me some really cool ideas as well. The Murphy bed wow excellent and then how you covered up her mounted TV on the wall that was pretty cool as well! So you asked, which way did you like the best? Both! They were equally just as functional and beautiful as the other.

[@teresadakin5090]

I mean, truly awesome - the colours, styling, functionality, attention to details. Nailed it! I would love to work with Monica on a project, your energy is fantastic! 🩷❤️🧡💚💛💙

[@lukec.9819]

I wasn't sure about the wall treadment when you started it, but in the end, i love it! Another awesome Monica-makeover!!! You rock!!! ❤❤❤🎉

[@KattEyl]

Really nice upgrades. The parents will be so comfy

[@CindDJo]

Love this show! Especially love this episode.

[@KLynneGR]

Was the change you made to the shelf nook even mentioned? That small dresser is so much more useful than a few widely spaced shelves. One of my favorite Weekenders, ever!

[@reneejones2183]

The colorful pallet is beautiful.

[@smilingvick]

I love BOTH the rooms.

[@dianewicks8934]

Love it, both ways!

[@wendyreid2458]

Beautiful Space

[@shawuanamay3913]

I like both, guest room and office. ❤

[@smilingvick]

I love the room but your wall treatment is truly the cherry on top :)

[@shastriseeraj7425]

It’s beautiful and functional ❤

[@nikkikenny1165]

Genius hack to add the ceiling medallion instead of trying to touch up the ceiling!

[@ilonaS1979]

fantastic, amazing, great wardrobe and TV ❤

[@hithere7282]

Love it ❤ .good ideas 😊

[@mauryroblovich]

this was adorable, Monica! you outdid yourself again!

[@lowes]

She always does! 🙌💙

[@DeeEyeAyeEnAye]

5am breastfeeding brought me to first comment! So honoured!

[@marilynalexieff285]

This my favorite episode ever! The colors are great!

[@toriam15]

You knocked this one out of the park! Love it

[@catherinethorington3452]

Both! I am going to price shop a Murphy bed for my house.

[@nellielockhart12]

Love it as both😊

[@nellielockhart12]

So beautiful 😍

[@pearlvongpusanachai5942]

❤ it, so creative!

[@pollyporter-campbell7493]

Love the look of both rooms. Just wondering where the guests put their book, water, etc at night and what about a reading light?

[@debbiestott3651]

As ever go Monica

[@hopestonerules]

Love it❤

[@Jan-vw8tj]

Simply stunning 🎉🎉🎉

[@Steph-tl4js]

Wow!

[@dream_living96]

Keep it low key. Some larger tires on the stock wheels would make it look so much better.

[@cherylk8781]

❤❤❤

[@targetedplantsguy9481]

I like it

[@dariakisiel7777]

I think it's a little bit too bright ...

[@lornafrancis1791]

❤

[@angelabacker1177]

A lovely solution for overnight guests but not practical for a six week visit.

[@yumz.lalu_]

👌

[@janetbof4]

So how do I sign up to have this done at my house?

[@jodpigbass5904]

can anyone tell me what brand boots Monica is wearing on day one.. they are tan with a light sole... thanks

[@lauralee2248]

Brighter, colorful, the carpet doesn't match though .

[@aprilbean5561]

Looks like a kids room
