making over the FIRST room in my new house (extreme home office makeover)

[@Dartagnan010]

Oof, Becky got a new house, Kelsey is redoing her kitchen. We're about to *EAT* with new content y'all. ✨😌

@@rockylily36 Hey those things take time 😭

[@imscanon]

Do be sure to get the floor joists checked to ensure they can handle the weight of a pool table as they may need reinforcing so your pool table doesn't end up in the basement unintentionally. They're good on concrete slab, but since you have a basement...just have it checked out before you put one in there.

[@bonesonstones1]

Oh, that's a great point, those things are HEAVY! Glad you pointed it out

[@Ahlam_M5]

Tht wht i was thinking abt for the entire video. I was: Becky check the floor first the FLOOOR u don't wanna wake up on a bad surprise.

[@Noluna92]

Oof yeah, kinda like waterbeds... 😶

[@MeganVideoBlog]

That happened (to a lesser degree) in my house. The prior owners put a pool table upstairs and we asked about supports when we bought and no one knew. When we removed the pool table, we noticed a bunch of nail pops and minor cracks downstairs. It was clearly from the house springing back after the years of stress from the heavy pool table.

I love the how you include the dates in the video so we can get a real timeline of how long DIYs take, bc it can be difficult to conceptualize with a lot of design shows and videos I’ve noticed it in a lot of Sorry Girls videos over the past little while but felt compelled to mention it with this video in particular

That office chair is SICK

[@TheSorryGirls]

such a good find tbh

[@sarathiessen9345]

@@TheSorryGirls I can’t believe you were able to find this chair!! We had those exact chairs growing up and I never saw a single household who also owned them!

[@leighkamryn]

I thrifted this exact office chair except mine is all brown leather!

[@carriesmithproject]

I almost never comment on vids, but I'm a long-time lurker - you folks make great content!! My husband and I have just about finished a 5 year home reno. We literally took the place down to studs and sub-floor, moved the kitchen, removed walls, installed a support beam and expanded the bathroom. Not contractors, we just used books and KZbin to learn. Huge tip that I hope you read, Becky, as this will save you a LOT of time if you're replacing trim in the whole house. Finish the trim BEFORE installing it (especially solid wood trim) you then only have to do a finishing coat on the top face after you fill your pin holes or screws. Also trim screws are worth the price. They're hardly noticeable. Good luck with the gorgeous house!

[@vintagecameragirl]

That opening sequence was everything I need! Can't wait for a 'cameo by neighbour bob'

[@TheSorryGirls]

omg yes

[@mirabellegoldapfel6256]

Oh these LAMPS! Beautiful! Also love the simplistic trim. And I know we don't see it often, but staining BEFORE installing is much easier with a one coat paint, since you can make longer brush strokes without worrying about splashing stain on the freshly painted walls.

[@94rome]

I was just wondering why it isn’t normally done that way! I thinks it’s more logical to stain before.

[@lisabutler1877]

I always wonder that too. I think it actually is pretty common but they do it opposite on this channel and I'm always surprised 🤷‍♀️

[@SeaTurtle515]

I am so very, very pleased that you are not painting over the wood, but instead, you are embracing it’s glorious and natural beauty. 🌿

[@sandrathomas2079]

Becky, you matched color on the window trim perfectly with the ceiling. You got this room !!! You go girl. !!!

[@kimmhclouthier2594]

Loving this series Becky and Austin. A little tip, if your using a crowbar and prying on drywall put a board or plywood peice under bar to protect the drywall. No big divots when your done.

[@brittany1382]

Gotta say re: the sponsor, I tried Blueland's products and I was super disappointed. Mostly in the "forever bottles", since the plastic trigger broke on one before I'd gone through the first bottle's worth of cleaner. The pump on the soap also deteriorated quickly. It feels like greenwashing when they claim to reduce plastic waste while selling these cheaply made, easily broken refill bottles.

[@shola7987]

Good to know

[@Sophia-tv7kg]

I was wondering about that with the glass bottles, the spray head looked super flimsy

[@elliew15]

I have 2 of the soap dispensers and have had them for about a year and half now. While the bottle itself is glass, the actual pump is made of plastic, and both still work, but there’s been times I thought they were broken (the soap pump eventually clogs in some areas so you just gotta clean them often). What I dislike is that the refills are not as cheap as I would like, plus you have to buy so many to qualify for the free shipping option

[@rebeccamahneke808]

Of course these brands are a prime example of greenwashing. If a brand really was ecological and fair in manufacturing and pricing, they wouldn't be able to offer such a high discount and partner with numerous influencers.

[@jessigracie5526]

I had the same experience. The bottles broke immediately and the soap pumps were clogged constantly. It was very disappointing.

[@lisatheintuitive]

I bought an authentic mid century coffee table with the brand stamp on it from a retired couple clearing out their storage unit for TWENTY BUCKS. This table is ENORMOUS. They had no clue!

[@bridgeeeena5798]

Great find! I love when that happens 😩 We have an authentic mid-century dining room table with 4 chairs that we got for FREE 👀 because it belonged to my husbands great grandparents. It’s new to us and we adore it.

Ma'am, you are an inspiration. Watching this made me want to get up and organize and do other projects but I also needed to keep watching! Great job and thanks for the boost of inspiration.

As for the pool table you will need pros to balance the table and reinforce the floors. Check out any place that’s going out of business to buy the table and they will know who to hook you up with.

oh man, seeing you pull off the trim pieces reminds me of our house. The pieces themselves are beautiful, but some are SO warped and you can tell the original owners (they built the home and must have DIYed a lot) just got angry with the trim not being done and did ALL of it with a nail gun. Beautiful pieces of wood with lil nail gun holes everywhere. No putty, they're all falling off because they're just nailed to drywall, it's nuts.
