Making Over The Lobby 🪑 *EXTREME TRANSFORMATION*

[@suecox2308]

The tapestry is wonderful. Since it's so close to a window you might consider getting UV coating for the window to protect the colors. Those old dyes were natural and fairly fragile. It's in amazing condition for its age and worth preserving.

[@jocewaitwhat]

I believe you can get UV coating for windows so if it stays in this room the windows should definitely be protected

[@lonefox]

Yes will 100% look into this! I actually didn’t think about that so I am happy you commented this ❤

[@sherilynl4038]

absolutely...there's a reason that Museum's have LOW light in the tapestry/costume/furniture rooms. fading is a HUGE concern

[@suemclaughlin8319]

That was the first thing I thought of when you hung the tapestry. It’s beautiful! You want it to last another 300 years.

[@KAlexandra516]

Great idea!

[@terry2310]

Please don’t hang a picture beside that beautifully simple and elegant curved window. No distractions from perfection!!!

[@alonsohermosa1428]

I agree 100%

[@AussieFIag]

[@FateDelamorte]

I dunno, I liked the picture. Don't think it takes away from the window at all

[@althea1462]

I LOVED the picture - thought it offset the window beautifully.

[@blokprintzprintwithpaint972]

Is it an Aubusson tapestry? The way to hang it if you want to avoid sag, is to add extra fabric to the top, and then attach that fabric to a strip of wood, and then screw the wood into the wall. Lovely to see your rooms coming together.

[@sherilynl4038]

i JUST commented about that strip of wood. hee hee hee. really is the way to go

[@robinmp3841]

I was gonna say that but I didnt want to stick my neck out there, but while we are at it, I think he should find a wall where the sun is to its back or get UV film for the windows.❤

[@brendashingledecker2925]

The easiest way to hang and support nicely is to use a piece of tacky strip used ro attach carpets along walls.. Just hang the strip to wall and simply hang the rug on the strip. It would be nice to be able to view all of it.

[@patriciavavra7375]

This is a great idea. I did notice the sag, but I am so OCD it would bother me. Most would not notice or care. My opinion of course.

[@victhoene]

we did this technique to ours - really makes it look like a statement piece on the wall. Highly suggest something like this for yours, Drew.

[@Mick-LibraGirl]

I agree with the others. The tapestry does need properly installation & would look best moved to other side of entrance - where the bar currently sits. Another note - I’m typically an asymmetrical person, but as the curved window is a focal point with identical windows either side - this room is symmetrical and I believe the sofa may look best centred in the room as you at one point positioned it. Leaving more space to appreciate either the bar or tapestry (whichever your final decision may be for that side of entry). The drapes are perfection!!! Love the table, rug choice and color. Looking forward to final reveal 💙

[@mersammut1228]

Hey Drew just keep in mind that over time the sunlight may damage the tapestry since it's so close to the window. The other thing I was thinking about is to hand the tapestry by a rod to have it more straight up top and then let gravity pull it down, I think it would make it look for expensive:) Love the style and vibe of this room

[@sherilynl4038]

i was concerned about this as well. the "hang" of the weave will definitely be affected. attaching to a straight piece of board and hanging the board with keep the integrity of the weave for longer

[@lieslnew8247]

Hi Drew. Please try hanging that tapestry on a rod. I think it will give it a more “polished” look than taping it to the wall.

[@pennybowen2725]

I absolutely love the tapestry, but it shouldn’t be on the wall you put it on. With the wood beams , it makes it not straight it just doesn’t do it justice where it is. Maybe you should’ve put some sort of board under it at the top of the wall and used some clamps like they had in the store where you bought it from in it’s place of the Velcro or whatever that was you used.

[@wendypage5787]

Drew please show this video to the seller of your tapestry and ask him about the amount of natural light in this room and how it will damage your tapestry. My mom was an antique dealer who sold out of our house. From the outside the house appeared as a 50’s ranch, but inside it was an 18th century museum, camera ready at all times. (She was in a number of magazines in the ‘80’s). A number of the windows in every room were walled over to prevent sun damage to delicate fabrics of 200 years+ still in use on beds and walls and floors. Your tapestry probably hung in a dark castle in Europe for a few hundred years and that’s why it’s in such pristine shape. Love your house and I am so happy for you having so much fun with it.

[@amyfrancois9121]

My PERSONAL opinion… SWITCH tapestry & bar walls….hiding the tapestry behind sofa and you can stain ikea piece to match other console piece and hold EXCESS of glass/bar supplies and place on wall next to tapestry & other door going into rest of lower part.

[@everausten]

I agree about the tapestry. A bit too long for that spot. I would also get more Velcro strips for the top to eleminate sagging or, have a pocket sewn on the back and insert a rod to hang. Either way it’s beautiful. I so look forward to your videos. Love you and your personality!!

[@denisejones1863]

Yes, a pocket and than hang on curtain rod.

Putting that ancient tapestry next to that ultramodern sofa is just brilliant. I love the confidence you have in your designs. The house looks like no other. I cannot believe you're only in your twenties and doing work like this. What a gift.

[@guitargirl4himify]

I’m anxious to see the next part two of this makeover. My OCD was kicking in when you were hanging the tapestry because it didn’t look level at the top. It is gorgeous most definitely! I love your style, Drew! You have managed to successfully marry Spanish style with modern and antique pieces, etc. and it all works!

[@robinmp3841]

LOL I had the same thought but i think he fixed it a little in the next shot, it looks straighter now. I dont care for the way its swagged under the beam, He could have rolled the top end over a dowel and mounted the sides with iron brackets "under" the line of the beam, dont you think? I have seen that done even with a border like that on the rug.❤

[@joantionette734]

Me too its crooked and really does not fit that wall and it is puddled on the floor.

[@kmarshall53]

I have to admit I was so happy to see you remove the scalloped valance. I was hoping you might be able to hang the tapestry someplace where the top is level and it’s not exposed to sunlight. It’s stunning! The marble topped table is perfect with the sofa curves and the tapestry color. Wow! Can’t wait to see the final result.

[@terrirouleau4758]

[@claudefrou7119]

[@barbarageer2345]

I love the tapestry and how old it is, but it deserves more love from you. I think you should sew some loops or a channel to the top and hang it from a dowel stick or drapery rod with pretty finials on the ends. That way, it's straight across the top and not saging in places. It's like a crooked picture on the wall. Sewing the loops can be undone and won't hurt it, but the adhesive on those straps might, especially if they aren't archival quality. Over time the straps will pull at the weave and maybe damage it. I love your ideas. The bookcases with tipped shelves to display books was genius. ❤

[@123FishFood]

Tapestry belongs on the other side of the doorway, between the beams

[@soph-mc1qr]

i was thinking that as well! i do like it behind the couch but it really needs to be hung up higher.

[@Ohhhsopeachy]

I agree!

[@dmichaels40]

I would agree it needs its own separate moment on the other side of the arch... something to consider plus it would be further away from the window.

[@soph-mc1qr]

@@dmichaels40 for sure it also kinda bothers me that the beam is not even centered where it’s hanging now so the other side would generally just work better for the symmetry of it all

[@lonefox]

I rehung right after the video! I also noticed it watching the footage back. The updated version is on my IG!

[@singingone1]

Drew I have to agree with Sue Cox below. The direct sunlight is very detrimental to the old natural dyes. I love where it is hanging but consider adding a rod pocket on the back that will hold a rod to hang it from and attach to actual rod to hangars on the wall or ceiling so that the weight is evenly distributed. This will keep the woven fibers of the carpet from becoming distorted. We certainly do not need to know the $$ of the tapestry but considering the age and the condition, and the fact that at even 2/3's less of original price was still pricey, you want to keep the value and condition from any deterioration into the future. Love the room so far. The couch reminds me of marshmallows squished together YUM!

[@KDdevidasi]

The wide hanger hooks on the back of the mirror are to string hanging wire horizontally. The hanging wire across the back of the framed piece makes it much easier to straiten when hanging from a single or double nail or hook on the wall.

[@robinmp3841]

Unless its too heavy, sometimes you need 2 hangers to distribute the weight of whats being hung.❤

[@KDdevidasi]

@@robinmp3841 I have hung many heavy and valuable pieces this way. The hanging wire balances and distributes the weight, especially if one uses two wall hooks. The wire allows for better mobility to straighten and adjust a hung piece.

I love that you use so many natural woods etc. So we are old. My partner of 10 years still had his 70s furniture when we met! I think some is back in style. He had bought more quality 70s. I was downsized 3 times by crashing economy. One way to clean out. But I never bought a lot of chatsky. My main decor item is plants and photos. HIs wife that passed was a potter and taught classes in high school. So we saved and put out all her pottery. We have all basic warm toned wood and nuetral fabrics. Our retirement purchase has a peaked pine ceiling inside, 64 foot long with 8 trusses and a 64 foot peaked skylight too. All who visit do what we did viewing it the first time. Stare up with mouth open. But with all the light and our natural woods just went with pretty much neutral pallet.The walls were painted a grayish green. It changes with different light during the day. I follow a lot of DIY channels but they are mainly in midwest and a lot of what they do is farmhouse chippy white etc. I dont mind the look. It just doesnt seem California. We are now 3 hours north east of Los Angels. I grew up in Orane County. I also sew for most of my life. I make a lot for our home and my clothing but still dot h at nuetral pallet. We did a lot of esthetic upgrades. It was built by artist in 93 but some things like the bathroom totaly not in code and some seemed unfinished. We added a pine bartop tothe separating wall of the kitchen. Now down to the almost acre lot!

[@sandieedward993]

Old threading can easily be damaged !! Especially under those strong sun rays 😢!! Think mostly of those tapestries being hung in Damp Dark Large Castles to Block the Air Flow that made those castles so cold 😮and damp as electrical heat didn't exist then😂 especially when those gigantic fireplaces went out .😮 Burrrrrrrr was it ever so cold but in Rhode Island Mansions in Newport,RI >>they had pipes that sent up heat from huge furnaces that piped it throughout the Miramar Mansion in Newport, Rhode Island which were modeled after ones from France and England as the Golden Age emerged to keep them warmer but still tapestries were hung on huge wooden Beams to keep them from being destroyed from both weight and moisture draping on the wall and to clean them they were beat with these funny looking but ever so cute curvy looking brooms as they'd hang them over banisters outside or on clothing lines and beat them till the dirt flew out everywhere 😂🤣😂 Until pipes were invented & installed into the baseboards that had suction so strong it would suction up anything in the ground including jewelry and coins 😂🤣😂🤣 to clean those rugs throughout the mansion those huge vacuum cleaners were merely switched on and were seen in the basements and Believe Me they were Huge Just Another fun fact 😮 worth learning about if you guys are interested in These kind of Historical Stories . In saying that they were hung on huge wooden beams as someone else did mention how they were properly hung to keep them secure on those damp castle walls for Eons and since it's so Beautiful please inquire with antique professionals about their weaknesses for How; Where , and Why Certain Spots are Better than Others for hanging them as well as those beautiful curtains for them not to be also damaged.

Here is a great tip for you for hanging rugs in tapestries on the wall. Take wall-to-wall carpet strips and nail the little braids into the wall with the nails facing upwards.

I like "the lounge." The lobby is a kind of transient space, with connotations of a wait space-think hospitals, airports, office buildings. You can do a lot to make the spaces more comfortable and appealing, as they do in upscale hotels, etc. But it is really just a place to wait. The Lounge is a destination spot. But in Drew’s house, it is a place to meet clients and friends. It’s a place for cocktails, laughter, and warm fuzzies. Which will leave the space all the better if you meet clients there. "Drew’s Lounge," where function and feeling all have a place.

Bethany Meyer, a 2nd to that request. With something that old, one is bound to preserve it for the future. There should be something out there that would help prevent fading from sunlight. Tips from museum perhaps is in the works .......

Research hanging the rug. You could put it on a rod that doesn't protrude too much. Make hand sown loops similar to what you put on the back of the rug, and it will hang even at the top. Beautiful rug! Relocate it as well. To close to the window. It will fade. You are doing such a wonderful job with you new house. It is beautiful.

The lobby looks beautiful! Everything in it is beautiful. Wow.

Hi Drew! Your choice of marble for the coffee tabletop is spot on. It really does pull the greenish blues from the tapestry. The tapestry is so exquisite; I'm sure you'll find the perfect hanging solution so it won't drag or sag but have the perfection it deserves!

I love, love, love, the LOBBY room. It is absolutely gorgeous, relaxing, and comfortable looking.

The continuity of the fluted pieces is stunning! The couch, the front of your bar, the lampshade and the pleated curtains..... I love the design here in this room very much!

[@jeanne-marie8196]

I was so glad to see the removal of that scalloped edging. I didn’t even realize that there was that arched window on that wall, between the camera, looking into the light and the distraction of that edging! I love the couch.

Hi Drew, The tapestry is beautiful and the curtains are stunning. The coffee table coordinates nicely with the tapestry. Looking through the exit of the room to the front door, steps to go upstairs, and hallway. . . it might be a good idea to put a round mirror across from the area so that people can look at themselves before they go out the front door. How about a couple of blue pillows?

[@donnabraden3126]

THAT tapestry with THAT couch! You make me fall in love with design styles that aren’t my style! I would love that in my home.

[@SuperAxlgirl]

The tapestry is so beautiful! Can’t wait for part 2! The lobby already looks stunning! 💕

Contemporary, vintage, up cycled and antique in one room.... Can only be done with a clear aesthetically appreciated mind..... That is talent. Love it.
