Organization, NEW storage, decor, cleaning, painting! Amazon organisation! Bedroom Makeover Pt 2

[@sbazeghi]

It's actually quite refreshing that you show the reality of designing a space for most people! Sometimes you have to see it first and feel out what works & what is "off'" and then change accordingly. It can be a slow process. BUT just know you are such an exquisite designer and artist of yourself! In the way you present yourself, your chose of clothes, hair, makeup, nails, etc. all so beautifully aesthic... and it seems to come easy to you! So we all have our strengths :) xoxo

[@msdyamonddiva]

Love the green. ❤ Thank you for being so transparent about your process and showing that your human. I totally get it. So many people on social media platforms just show us the “perfect” picture not how it comes together even though it’s usually not so instant. This is why we appreciate you and your content 😊

[@rachelleea]

Thank you so much!! 💛💛 things take time and the process is always the best part

[@mariaborden7]

I love the fact that you show the process behind the organization process. I work in the same way as you do. You are amazing, try not to over think things. Keep doing what you are doing. I love all this content. Thank you for sharing your process through your journey.

[@lindaholm9801]

I am enjoying seeing your room evolve, and appreciate that you are using a lot of your existing furnishings and decor in new and different ways. I feel you are a very creative person, and of course making changes can take time and experimentation. The good thing is that you are finding joy in the process, and that ultimately brings peace and satisfaction with the outcome. Lovely to see your cat so cozy, and wishing you a great weekend 💞☺

[@RachelGray33]

It is refreshing to see someone almost decorate in real time. I did my bedroom a few years ago and it took me days to paint it. I thought there was something wrong with me...but then I realised I am only human and not a professional painter. I have been enjoying you bedroom makeover series. God bless you and all those you hold near and dear in your heart. Love Rachel

[@rachelleea]

aw thank you so much 💛💛💛

[@ArnaAlayneMorton]

I feel we are very similar in that it can be quite unsettling during the process of restyling or renovating, but I’ve had to work hard to learn that the joy of the project is in the journey itself! ❤❤

[@naledi.]

I personally enjoy these kind of videos where you share the process with us. Please keep them coming 🌻

[@rachelleea]

Oh i'm so glad, thank you for watching 💛💛

[@Dermatillomaniac]

I’ve really enjoyed watching you find a vision and design for this space (even across multiple videos). I put them on to motivate and clean/tidy with you! You’ve made such a cozy and relaxing space. I don’t have a space of my own right now to paint and design but this gives me some ideas for when I do! 🌿💛 Also - thank you for opening up at the end. We’d never know and it’s helpful to be reminded that we all have struggles.

[@rachelleea]

Thank you so much 💛💛 I love collecting ideas for future projects, my fave is pinterest for that. So many beautiful ideas

[@makvili1021]

Loved this Rachel, so inspiring! Doesn’t have to be perfect. And love that you adjust and keep changing things up. Not everyone is the same, and I’m very much the same. Thank you for sharing this. The green is 🔥 everything you added to the room👌

[@rachelleea]

thank you and I'm so glad you enjoyed 💛💛

[@Runsonespresso]

I've been in my house since 2009 and still haven't finished my backyard because I don't know what I want back there! I change my mind often and am glad I haven't done anything I would hate. I am also trying to rework my office and not finding the right stuff/arrangement. Your videos are great because they are real life! I love seeing your process.

[@JessicaBiilor]

I love this, and two things really stood out to me at the end: 1, you said that you love making these kinds of videos. That's really your answer right there, if you love making this type of content, you should keep doing it for as long as it's fun for you! 2, I am very similar to you and seeing you over the years decorate and redecorate and think your space through has really validated me and my own process, so I for one really enjoy getting to come along the journey and prefer it to just simple before and after, because I don't work like that either. ❤

[@rachelleea]

Oh thank you so much, that means a lot to hear 💛💛 and its nice to know you don't work like that either

[@g.imperial8236]

Love this content! I am the same, I love interior design and organising and cleaning, but it takes me forever to decide one how I want things to look, and then and takes forever to find the things that I like, so I think your videos show a very realistic view on design. Please don't think you have to get everything right first time, there's so much joy in the process!

[@ohsolovelymrs]

I really appreciate the process. It’s probably because I feel very similar to you in that you need time to work things out. It takes me like a year to pick out a single piece of furniture. 😂 Please know you aren’t alone in how you feel and some of feel so good seeing we’re just like you and need the process too. ❤

[@4eburawka18]

They say it's much better for your mental health and overall success to embrace every project as a path with trial and error. Honestly I think people who only show 'after' are not exactly liars but subject to that 'social media picture perfect' which is detrimental for others. I very much enjoy your videos because they are honest and realistic (I was never taught how to take care of a house/apartment, and the space where I live is very old and sometimes falling apart, so ALL your surroundings already look 1000000+++ times better than whatever I can make with mine, but that's a whole other story). I really appreciate you sharing the process of improving your life, improving your surroundings and finding ways to make things work, not just 'Hi, it's me, I'm perfect'.

[@rachelleea]

Thank you so much, I have heard that too. Need to break away from this instantaneous culture of getting everything right now and be more patient and enjoy the process. Something I definitely need to slow down and do more often 💛💛

[@BelleRufus_]

I really like your videos and I like the "work in progress" type of videos in general! honestly, it makes me feel less incompetent if I can't figure my visions out or when it takes me literally years until I'm happy with the result! And I don't mean that in a negative way, I can understand it can be a struggle for you because I also have symptoms of ocd, what I mean is that I feel bad if someone presents a perfect make over in one go and call it a day, I always wonder what's wrong with me, why I can't do that. So it's really helpful and nice to see that it doesn't always have to be like that and results can be amazing even if it took longer or multiple trials! thank you for sharing your authentic style and work progress, I really appreciate it! ❤

[@rachelleea]

I totally agree, I always feel like why can't I just put things together like they can, it always seems to look bad until I play with it and eventually it comes together 💛💛💛

[@makvili1021]

Also I ordered the annual spreadsheet off you a few months ago. Anything to do with finance I ignored. The more I watched your videos the more I wanted to stop letting it overwhelm me and just start. This bad habit of not tracking to now knowing where every dollar goes. A bad habit now turned into an organised good habit!! Thank you, thank you. It has always overwhelmed me so much. Now im at peace. And have better control of my finances.

[@rachelleea]

Oh I'm so glad to hear, thank you so much for sharing. Its so overwhelming sometimes, I fell off the habit and I'm scared to get back into it but i know its so much for the better being in control of it all 💛💛💛

[@carolespinoza3446]

I really love watching you work through the process, the successes, the muddling around trying to get something to work. It’s how I think too. It makes me feel better knowing someone else has a similar process 😅 Also, it’s inspiring that you don’t give up. ❤

[@rachelleea]

I’m so glad you enjoy the process, thank you for watching 💛💛

[@dalislemarshall7108]

I love the videos with the process because I feel like it’s more “normal” most of us have to style a room in stages. Weather it be due to creativity restraints or budget restraints. Three years on in our house and I’m still trying to figure out rooms, style and how we want things to look/feel! I love seeing your videos like this because I can relate to it x

[@rachelleea]

💯 I'm trying to do it on the budget side which I usually try to do any way. I love a good deal haha, it makes things more limited and it just takes a bit more work to make things look good 💛

[@westerngull]

I like the trial and error process. And that it’s not just all done in an instant. It’s much more realistic and seems like how I go about my spaces. The paint you chose is beautiful and nice to see how you worked on it. I’d love to paint some of my spaces but I’ve never done it and it’s quite intimidating to me! Your room is looking great!

[@rachelleea]

Thanks so much :) its gets really boring after a while, you just want to finish as quick as possible 😆 but it takes days

[@lotuspetal5143]

[@Sares72737]

Girl don’t even worry about it not being a stock standard transformation vid. I think a lot of us love seeing the process and can relate a lot more. I’m constantly changing my room 😅 I mean, the functional aspects need to stay the same otherwise I’ll lose my mind, but the bedding and decor, I love switching that around. So I love seeing your process and the evolution of your ideas and style 😃 Epic job of free-handing around that light/fan switch btw!! 👏🏼👏🏼😄

[@rachelleea]

I saw this woman on instagram a few months ago and I thought she was in a home decor store and until she walked out into the rest of her house 😆 she had this massive collection of home things in a closet so she could just change things out whenever she wanted 🙈🙈 excessive maybe but sounds funs Thank you 😊 I'm impressed I didnt mess it up haha

Hi Rachel, don't worry about it so much. You do you. I find it interesting to see the process because it's real. I'm certain that home renovation people go through the same struggles and trial and error. It takes time to find the right thing for that exact space... I love the green and will be using a similar colour in my craft room (which I am making over!!!).

[@rachelleea]

omg I love that and I love that you have a craft room. I can't wait to have a craft room one day 😊💛😊 if you can please share pictures with me on instagram or something maybe. I'd love to see

[@BethMJones]

You are so beautiful. I love the green walls, rug, and new white, pretty bedding. Really pops with the green walls. The clear makeup and pencil holders are cool-I like the clear better, too. Your cat 🐈 looked so cozy sleeping and so cute. What is his name? I enjoy watching the process of before and after and you thinking things through. Things on sm can look so perfect, and that is not always the reality so I like how you show bringing it together, making changes, etc. Maybe get a pillow for the bed with white and the green color of the wall or a very bright color for some fun. Taping helps avoid a mess-you did great! I love your vlogs.

[@destinysdirection]

It took me three years to get my living room in my home to a place that I feel like I can relax in. I enjoy watching you figure this all out.

[@rachelleea]

Its amazing how it can just take so much time and its hard when it can be expensive to trial and error if you cant return things. I'm so glad you enjoy the process though 💛💛

[@maii171]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Thanks a million for your honesty and being open about your "struggles" when feeling good in your space. I feel exactly the same!!! Thanks!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@deliciouslyme6206]

Those before and after videos are really fun to watch but I always have a nagging thought in the back of my mind with thoughts such as something not being practical, or last long and so on. And it’s easier to just ‘dress’ a place (I used to take pics for interior decorators who dressed properties in order to help sell them. They looked great but there was no soul. For our homes, and those of designers, it takes at least around a year just to live in the pace to gauge things and then add and evolve as you live. I prefer your videos and process as it’s much more realistic. Also, some of us (me) can’t afford to buy everything in one go, so it’s useful to see things being re painted or taking a minute to buy. Phew! Sorry for long comment! 🤣 Your p Room has transformed soo much already! And looking so put together. You don’t have much left til you can relax with it. 💚🙏🏻

[@rachelleea]

Thank you so much and so true, I've found buying lots of things at once feels a little hollow too, like theres no real meaning behind it other than to look pretty. I hope in my next place I take my time and think it through a little more 💛💛💛

[@deliciouslyme6206]

You could get some Gold Leaf Rub N Buff for those curtain holdbacks to make it more of a true gold. The “green gold” is more like a modern brass colour.

[@Bec18]

Love the colour!!! Did you go with matte or low sheen? It has a really nice finish :)

[@rachelleea]

Low sheen 😊 its very dreamy and soft. Sometimes when i take pictures it almost looks like a grey, tis not too intense

[@ankhera]

I think the majority of those "makeover shows" fail to show the agonising over choices, or trying to find the perfect piece, and set unrealistic standards. Personally, I can usually "see" the end result that I want, but it still takes forever to achieve, whether it's because of budget constraints, time constraints or ability constraints. Even once you're done, you're never done, so don't feel bad that you're not showing us some unrealistic 2 day makeover. Love the green walls, looking forward to the white door 😅

[@rachelleea]

Totally agree. One time back in 2019, Rachel Aust and I were on a reno show with Bunnings and we had to do the living room. The whole thing was done in 2 days but there were designers who picked out all the furniture and just told us what to do and I don’t know how they do it so quickly. Maybe because they had funds and a team of designers 😆

[@ankhera]

@@rachelleea Designers have the bonus of not having to live in the space, so they just do whatever and then walk away!
