SECRET DOOR....SECRET DOOR.....SECRET DOOR!!!!!!!!!! The metal items restored to their original finishes look so right. The final look is sophisticated and serene. Home Run!!

[@nataliemarshall7158]

I Second that vote! A Secret Door in any space for whatever reason Yes please! 🙏

[@jennifergraham3752]

I love the way you approach your makeover projects. They evolve naturally and are curated over time so they have depth and soul. The room is gorgeous. Nice to meet Matt. Very handy to have a plant expert on hand!

[@REISSUED]

Thank you so much Jennifer! ❤️

[@amandabrown656]

Taking two years to curate your space is absolutely magical and relatable. Weekend makeovers in a ten minute video are so unrealistic and always look plastic. Thank you thank you thank you for keeping it real. And repurposing. Your end result of patience, time and mindfulness is absolutely stunning 💕

[@REISSUED]

Thank you so much! Yes I agree that rushing to get all the pieces together at one time can look too trendy and/or make me feel stressed! Waiting for the right pieces to fall into your lap is cost effective but also makes decision making much easier 😂

[@mallyflower844]

Pocket doors are so underrated. What a great job and to have help from parents and bf is wonderful. Each area of your room is so well curated and pleasing to the eye. Absolutely love the makeover.

[@mdipeace]

Pocket doors are amazing, but can be very difficult to retrofit. You have to have the right space / dimensions / clearance. I think that's the reason why you don't see them more in home renovation. My whole house would have them but they won't fit.😔

[@greggschroeder]

I'm really glad you were able to create a pocket door rather than using a barn door set-up. So much neater and more stylish.

[@pippadawg7037]

@@mdipeace You definitely need the right space too. I would avoid putting a pocket door on a powder room door unless I had absolutely no choice. I wouldn't put one on a bed room door either because of privacy issues. In the right space they are amazing but as you said difficult to retrofit without tearing out walls and starting all over again. I don't think they are underrated though, I think they are misunderstood.

[@pman2916]

"Boyfriend Matt" You've never mentioned him before, unless I missed it. Im happy for you both. Matt is dashing😊 I just love how dedicated your parents are to your vision. Love Leah's artwork, she's so talented! Love the room. Absolutely fabulous👌

[@Devina210]

Matt is a fox! Definitely a great addition to the videos!

[@suecox2308]

I love that your home will always be a reminder of everyone who helps you, and that will remind you that you are loved. Pretty cool. And the bedroom looks great!

[@terrivalente]

Your eye for style is "Spot On!" Re-Store...say no more! My go to store for unique finds.

[@user-rh4vp7fd8n]

A family that paints together, stays together! So many original ideas with great design style!

[@barbarahaines7661]

Nice to meet Matt,hope he knows how special you are.Again thanks for your informative posts.

[@glendashine9468]

You have to know how blessed you are to have your dad’s help and experience. I lost my day 15 years ago and each time I have to fix something at our home, I wish so much he was still here. Our house has the crystal knobs!

[@neilchisholm797]

I have no idea why but you haven’t appeared on my YT listing for ages, I thought you had stopped posting. Now I see youve finished your bedroom and it’s magnificent. Also we meet Max your BF. I hope we see more of him in the future. I have a lot of catching up to do but I will watch all your posts, I love your empathetic ideal of reuse and repurpose. I do the same and you always give me ideas. Mine are more restoration of furniture or picture frames or painting furniture and making reproduction antique patchwork quilts to hang or to adorn beds. Congrats on a fab master bedroom from Neil in Australia 🇦🇺! I hope you might remember me!

[@silvi9094]

To take time in developing a space gives me time, to make the right decisions and save money. That's what I like that about your room designs, they grow with you.

[@Southeastgeorgiapeach]

Good morning from southeast Georgia. Your bedroom makeover turned out great. And an Ethan Allen bed for $100.00 was an absolute steal! Cleaning the original hardware keeps the vintage quality of your home which is a definite plus! After your tip about Restores giving a senior discount, I went to my closest store yesterday. I found a roll of gorgeous upholstery fabric marked $15.00. I asked the cashier about a discount and got 30% off. So I paid $10.00 for it. Came home and measured how much fabric was on the roll. It was 16 yards plus some large scraps that I didn’t measure. So I only paid 62-1/2 cents per yard. Thank you so much for the advice! Great video!

[@REISSUED]

So amazing! I just thrifted another roll of fabric myself 😂 Glad you found that tip useful and picked up something amazing!

[@TracMcNguyen]

I'm glad to see the stache is making a come back 🙃

[@Nadezh-da144]

Yes, he looks like the Andrew we know. Without it, Andrew looks all of 19 😂

[@rsoubiea]

Place the hardware in the crockpot. Cover with water, add a couple of tablespoons of liquid laundry detergent, and turn the heat to medium. Put on the lid and let the contents of the pot cook all night. The next day, the paint will be soft and ready to fall off the metal. I love me a pocket door! My last two houses have had one. They are sometimes a cool necessity.

[@DavidHall-ge6nn]

You have a real gift for combining a varied conglomeration of elements and assembling them into a cohesive whole. Your bedroom is a testament to your creativity and imagination. The impression I get is one of balance and a pervasive sense of rightness in every aspect of the design. It's great to meet Matt, the Plant Whisperer. I had no idea yucca sealing was a thing. Who knew?

[@marvymaxee]

Came here to say to say essentially the same things. Such a beautiful result, with such perfect attention to details. Love it!

[@lynseypeters]

I love it. It's masculine but warm and cosy. I love your style and that you take time to curate everything. And I vote secret door 😂🤎

[@nicholasworth3736]

Your VERY lucky to have such helpful parents, that saves you a lot of money

[@jilllech9785]

I can see really see your personality come together in this room. Getting the paint off the hinges, hooks, and doorknobs made a tremendous difference. In case you need to do some more paint from metal removal, get an old crock pot and put them in water with a tiny bit of soap leave to simmer. The paint will slide right off. There are many videos out there with better specifics. Loved this. And the wood snakes are amazing. I need to spenrd more time at the restore. Thanks for sharing..

[@nataliemarshall7158]

Of course as with all of your work the “final” product was perfect! Even down to Queenies paw dents in the quilt 😂 “Is a room ever finished?” My answer is while ever we are learning, growing and evolving through life so should our rooms/homes. (Thus the reason why I put final in the quotation marks) It was awesome to see Matt and I think a monthly or even a quarterly plant section in your videos by Matt would be a great addition to your channel and I would like to go so far as to suggest a topic for his first segment, how to seal the top of your yucca so it doesn’t keep growing but the leaves will. 😊 And a little tip for taking old paint off metal items like the hooks or even the hinges if you ever need to take a door down is put them in a slow cooker. I purchased a used one from a second hand store and put my tap fixtures in with a drop of dish detergent on the longest cook session and when they were done and cooled all of the paint just peeled off, a tiny bit of scrubbing in the joints or crevices but it made such light work of the job.

[@anngraham3265]

This is my first, not last, time watching your bedroom makeover. The detail is wonderful. Your loving family helping in the process makes it perfect. Thank you for sharing.

[@micahmiller9113]

Perfect. Elegant and masculine. Warm and peaceful. I appreciate the thoughtfulness and small choices that you put into the design of your spaces, and the fact that nearly every piece is something given a second life.

[@ellenmadsen7308]

You should get a rolling plant stand for under the yucca so it’s easy to move.

[@jm7804]

What a wonderful space to start and end your day. You did a very good job of talking through why you made certain choices....but you can't really teach style. Either you have it or you do not. The attention to detail and taste level are exceptional.

[@xingcat]

Pocket doors really tickle some “living in a fancy house with secrets” spot in my design brain and are what I think people believe they’re doing when that terrible barn door trend happened a couple years ago. Love it and love your style.

[@suerue4019]

Repurposed and thrifted items give rooms depth and character that you cannot get from typical boring decor styles repeated by so many so called designers. Keep up the inspirational work. 🎉❤😅

[@Pstanich]

It looks lovely and masculine ❤. Good job

[@prosie1968]

Andrew your attention to detail is so inspiring. Thanks for sharing.

[@ChrissyBear99]

[@katehamb439]

[@swirlgalaxy]

Howdy Andrew!! Wow, Matt is quite a catch!! As always, your creation is fantabulous!!!!!!!!!!! Big bear hugs from Kenny in Ohio!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@lisagaines1813]

LOVE the finished product! This turned out fabulous and I’m blown away. I had totally forgotten how much the room changed after the charcoal color on the ceiling. The last minute style choices really pulled the whole thing together. You have got to be so pleased. I hope you keep us posted on the secret door idea (so cool) and the art lamp search (must have). Great vid, great room, great job!

[@REISSUED]

Thanks Lisa! ❤️

[@bernaclischurchill4463]

What you have accomplished is simply fantastic. Since, as you said not everyone has the level of help and design aesthetic that you and your parents have, I would have had to leave the house, in general, the way it was and just have it painted, only making the necessary repairs to items that absolutely need it. I live in an older home, and I, too have those crystal knobs everywhere, as well, I love them. Overall great job. Also, all of the pillows that you made were great, it gives you the option of changing the room decor out whenever you want to.

[@GregoryCooper-eh6yk]

Nice space. Very adult.....I like. Also stealing painted ceiling idea !!!!

[@amandabrown656]

Secret door!!!!! And pocket doors!!!! Love it❤

[@Nadezh-da144]

This is really excellent! What a wonderful human being and a natural born artist Andrew is. Talent just oozes out of him in every project and always results in an unmistakably Andrew style. That's a hallmark of a Designer capable of influencing a whole movement. I ❤LOVE everything about his choices. Bravo! And the camera work has improved as well. I'm so glad we are shown the final results from many angles and can savour the artistry, with nothing out of place. Everything just right. I came across this channel by accident when the kitchen video was suggested to me and I'm glad I've seen other videos and stayed. Andrew is fast becoming my favourite Designer of the year. May you be happy, healthy and successful, young man! What a credit to great parents 👏 👏 ❤❤❤

[@REISSUED]

Thanks for the feedback! It’s helpful to hear that things are progressing well both in design and video production. ❤️

[@clairewright8153]

I’ve only seen a couple of shorts, so after watching your make over, I’m impressed very impressed and subscribed. I love hunting for decor pieces and re using what we already have.

[@REISSUED]

Aw I’m so glad you enjoyed this! Thanks for subscribing!

[@e.d.h5533]

I just joined your channel less than an hour ago. Your bedroom makeover is fabulous! I'm a native NYer, and Dude, that bedroom is bigger than some studio or efficiency apartments I've been in! I've always had a green thumb, but I hate to admit, I have killed a few Yucca plants in my day, in different apartments. Succulents, pepperomias and snake plants don't stand a chance with me. 😢 My shade-loving plants are thriving in my current apartment, and it's becoming a jungle in here. A touch of greenery is definitely the way to go, to make a room cozy and inviting.

[@lauriewarner4848]

I always love to come back and watch you after I have missed out on your projects for different reasons… you inspire so much. Glad to meet your BF also. You have such a wonderful family and loving life, bravo. What is going to happen when you are completely done? Noooooooooooo.

[@REISSUED]

Thanks Laurie! Always new projects to do so don’t worry about us running out! 😜

[@seriouslyinsanediva]

I love the wood details in the room. It's great how you re-used old elements and made it all look new and on purpose.

[@FunkyLuma]

Congratulations. Your room is beautiful and every detail is well thought out. The only thing I would suggest adding is some neutral curtains on either side of the window behind the bed frame to add some softness. Great job!!

[@craigycraig70]

the TIGER EYED knob were made by the Bennington Pottery Co prior to 1900 !

[@chuckkolb1270]

If at some point you decide to jettison dancing/choreography, you could easily transition to high end interior design. What a fertile field Atlantic would be, if you would choose to remain in the area or an urban area comparable to NYC. What you have done with thrift items plus intensive work reveals your eye for the elegant, the whimsy. Good luck for future endeavor money and emotionally-wise.

[@friendosal6017]

All of your styles and juxtapositions work so beautifully in this room for you. I live in an older house and try to do the same with eclecticism and incorporation of family hand-me-downs, some Bauhaus 2 Your House replicas and vintage/thrifted art and accessories. I like the [monstera, did you say?] clippings on the mantel to represent growth and also to reflect Matt's plant expertise in context of all of the expertise and knowledge you convey to us. Every one of your videos inspires me in some way.

[@shannonwhiting6668]

What a beautiful room! I loved watching you and your parents working together! You design ideas are wonderful. I don't think a room is ever really "done;" that is the fun of decorating and reimagining. Good job!

[@SN-sz7kw]

Marvelous room. With so much soul. Details are everything. Well done. 😊

[@ghazaln]

Amazing! Wonderful attention to detail! Thank you for explaining the process! This was great 😊🙏🏼

[@lyndioli]

Love it! Love your style! Love , what I found as an added tip, while painting your door hangers, you screwed in the screws into the box to paint those all at the same time instead of just laying them flat! Makes so much more sense and then you spun the box around to make sure you painted everything evenly! Never thought of doing that so thank you!👍💞✨

[@williamsauve6058]

Dito on the secret door. Great video my friend. The room is Gorgeous. Masculine , curated and travelled. Love from Canada

[@kristinab1078]

Oh, how I would love your advice on certain decorating conundrums I'm having! For example, choosing one light fixture over another or how to change an old frame to best compliment one of my paintings. Have you ever considered giving advice from photos that viewers send in? Is your background in interior design or do you just have an eye for it? Love the renovations and upcycling!

You and your parents have done a great job keeping the historical details of the house while adding modern elements. Normally, I don't care for black ceilings, but it looks great!

You’ve outdone yourself on the bedroom. Absolutely lovely. ❤

[@FrogeniusW.G.]

Hellou my dearest Andrew, ❤ an other suggestion for the pax-black-question could be to just paint the strip on the front, but nothing on the side. You could test it out with a black stripe of paper or sth. taped onto the area in question and see how it looks. With two photos of both variations side by side you can decide perfectly. 😊 I'm a little bit in love with your Dad's skills and 100% envious!! 😅 And o.m.Goodness is Matt handsome!.. 🙊 Love your channel! (You already know that. 😁) The "finished" room looks amazing!! ❤

It looks incredible, only idea I have would be find a shallow cabinet at the ReStore and install it above the shoe closet for some of your storage from the medium closet. It will truly make that cabinet disappear. Great job! I think your space is beautifully quiet.

Look in a feng shui book to learn about the power of certain shapes of plant leaves - you may want to relocate that plant, especially with the micro doubling its impact.
