Vintage Sunroom Makeover!

[@jvstcu76]

Sage, I am beyond impressed with your energy, imaginative interior decorating skills and your tenacity in completing your projects. You have created a peaceful nest where you can relax, study or sew. Kudos to you and James for this beautiful room. Take care and have a pleasant and rewarding week.

[@SageLilleyman]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@zwiebster63]

Soooooooo true!!!

[@Saalvoo5]

Ciao Sage è venuto un capolavoro stupendo magnifico io amo lo stile anni 50 sei simpaticissima 👍🥰

[@JulieM-bx1ou]

That lamp is spectacular! What a find.

[@sadiebeast97]

I can so relate to the table being so heavy. I'm the exact way when we have to move anything. I'm so not strong 😆 !!! My fav touch in the room was a very tiny detail--your crocheted doily pin cushion in the tea cup. I'm going to make one because it looks so much more user friendly then the little red tomato I'm currently using! And cuter!!!

[@squishyduckieplaysgames6852]

I’m obsessed and I’m only 19 I started watching you at 18 last year pls pls upload more so I can know more about this type of lifestyle well it’s more then just a lifestyle but still I Love your videos pls upload more

[@AlexisTwoLastNames]

you make the process of cosmetic renovation look so worthwhile, fun, and ACCESSIBLE, and it reminds me that how our space looks can really affect how it makes us feel.

[@squishyduckieplaysgames6852]

Love all of your content started watching last year when I was 18 and now I’m 19

[@charleysmommy89]

Whoa. Talk about labor of love. Taking the time to love your home is good for the soul and your mental health. Beautiful job! I hope studying and working on your sewing crafts is much more enjoyable now. :)

[@1easyflow]

Beautiful! I thank you for sharing yourself with the world. You remind me so much of my beautiful daughter Rita. She passed away in July of 2020. She was bubbly and pure just like you. Born at home on June 06/14/1983. When I watch your videos they bring me so much joy. Thank you for all your hard work.

[@thebatridesagain]

Oh Sage it's lovely, you should be so proud of all your hard work.

[@SageLilleyman]

Aw thank you! ☺️

[@monicagaitor6751]

I agree, the lamp is beyond gorgeous. But then I love vintage lamps, period... The finished room is inspiring. Great job!!!

[@davidcoria9264]

Hello lady! …Wow! Your living room looks better than before! Beautiful yellow walls with bright! You are a talented designer home stylish fashionable and unique with your furniture and pictures! 😉👍🏻💐

[@teriadams7398]

I love that you included grandma's photo, I can see the ladies are just as pretty as you are dear.

[@donnamarsh3474]

Beautiful room. I think your Grandma would be very proud of you. 😊

[@doloresdemar2347]

Wow!!! The Sun Room came out beautiful 💯💯 Looks very comfy and serene,, the yellow really brightens up the room and gives it such a nice atmosphere ❤

[@christiana_mandalynn]

I genuinely almost shrieked with joy when I saw that you have vintage Ellis Peters’ Brother Cadfael mysteries on your shelves! I LOVE her mysteries! I have all of them! I love the adaptations from the 90s featuring Sir Derek Jacobi, too. This is incredible.... the before & after are stunning. I am in awe of your makeover skills! That lamp is breathtaking. The buttercream yellow is my *favorite* and is perfect for a sunroom! I love that homes in Australia frequently have sunrooms ✨💗

[@SageLilleyman]

Thank you so much Christiana!! Xx 💕😘

[@pameladonnelson2093]

What a beautiful room to sit and relax and be at peace

[@gerriebell2128]

I was born in 1951 on the east coast of the US and grew up there. Until seeing what you are drawn to and put in your house, I never have really liked 50’s and 60’s era style things for the home. But you keep finding the prettiest things from that era. I still am not drawn to decorate my home that way, but I do think what you have done is really pretty. Thank you for taking us on this journey with you.

[@sheilayoung8007]

Congratulations! The sunroom turned out so cute! I am happy for you. I am excited your studying to be a nurse. I have been one for 38 years an still counting. Our profession needs sweet kind people like yourself! I ♥️

[@SageLilleyman]

Oh thank you so much!! 💞

[@AprilShowers560]

It’s such an interesting house in that, at some stage, obviously the porch has been built in to be a sunroom and laundry and what was previously outside is now inside. I own a very interesting house too. It was a war time weatherboard but when the weatherboards started to rot, instead of replacing and/or fixing them, my great grandfather enclosed them in brick instead. So it was a weatherboard house, now a brick house and who knows what you would find if you opened up the brick walls 😂. My goodness, they knew how to use space in those days though. I have lived in a brand new build and now this beautiful old house and I can tell you, I prefer this old one by far. Such a sensible layout and so easy to heat/cool without aircon running 24/7.

[@mikybaum108]

Thank you for your lovely video love you keep well 😍👏

[@maryhamilton9074]

Wow 😀Love your sunroom the color is so pretty , Soft but sunny ☀️ Perfect room to relax 😀Thanks for sharing 😀

[@sandiemable]

Sage, you did it again, and that lamp is to die for! xoxo's Sandie

[@alexism1127]

Me after watching this video: *immediately looks on Facebook marketplace for a new vintage lamp.* The room looks great!

[@SageLilleyman]

Haha! 😂 Thanks so much 💕

[@cybersee9966]

The makeover is beautiful! I especially like the 1950’s lamp. The “before” picture of the sunroom looked like the laundry room of my childhood home. There was a dresser for baby clothes, (which I had forgotten about until I saw your video), that was kept in the laundry room.

[@heidishome2937]

Just beautiful. The lamp is stunning. Wall color so bright and cheerful. You created a lovely space.

[@janeburkhart4051]

Oh. My. GOODNESS!!! This room is absolutely stunning!!!! Everything about it is perfection! If it were my room I'd be spending every minute in there. You did a wonderful job, Sage. So happy for you! xo

[@SageLilleyman]

Aw thank you so so much! 💕☺️

[@migoseamwork1481]

Oh wow!! What an amazing transformation! Its a very warm an cozy room to be in.✂✂😍

[@alexg1668]

What a great transformation. Vision + hard work = happiness.

[@meetmrandmrsrobinson]

Beautiful job. Just an idea incase you redecorate another room with panel walls, if you get the cheap wall spackle that you use to fill in nail holes, use it to fill in the lines on panel. It will give you a flat wall and prime those black lines. It’s cheap and gives you a normal looking wall without having to remove old panels.

[@meetmrandmrsrobinson]

If you want, you can still add DAP Patch-N-Paint 8 oz. White Premium-Grade Lightweight Spackling Paste to give a flat wall but unfortunately you would have to paint it.

[@worldwarreenacting7688]

Hello Sage!! Glad your back! How’s James?

[@rosesperfumelace]

What a lovely transformation. It's hard work updating an old home yet still making it vintage. My home is from 1906. I too had paneling in some spots and painted over it. The nice think about paneling is it holds nails or hanging hooks quick firmly. Chest of drawers is great for storage as it keeps the items dust free. Lot of work you did there and ended up with a functional yet cozy space. 💋

[@tammyyoung5462]

Sage... The grand reveal oddly made me tear up...😢 It's just so beautiful and the photo of your gma above your desk is just heartwarming!!! I just love what you did!!!! ♥️

[@veronicarivero8644]

Hello There😊👋, 🌻 I just LOVE YOUR CHANNEL, So Calm, down to earth, and genuinely vintage ...☕📖🥰 Absolutely Beautiful Lamp oh my gosh!!, Great buy 👌

[@glendaruiz2477]

Absolutely stunning, so beautiful! Love it.❤

[@SageLilleyman]

Thank you! Xx

[@dorothyelizabeth1559]

The room is gorgeous. The best part of doing up a room is the “just finished and done” stage. Worst part - maintaining it 😂😂😂

[@texasstardust6010]

Sage ..... such a lovely transformation! I'm quite impressed, you and James work hard to Elevate your cosy home. I was thinking that a wing back chair might really go nicely with your sweet desk- it's so lovely. And they're so comfy.. ... you can even nap in one, by adding a small ottoman to put your feet up on. 🙂😊 . Of course, there's always little tweaks here and there that we do over time, to " have it feel finished ", so it's good that you know that, and aren't feeling rushed to " have it all done '. Really lovely .... Cheers and Blessings from here to there!

[@natalievstaden1430]

Hi Sage, that lamp is the most beautiful feature of your new sun room, enjoy.

[@marionlacey1986]

Its delightfully vintage looking Sage, you have such great taste.........and a man with good lifting muscles! I love your lamp, your desk, and your chest of drawers.Those lovely airy looking curtains and rug finish it off nicely. I even love the chair you are sitting in. A beautiful makeover and you must have been so exhausted! 🐾🥰

[@tauhidtauhid8908]

Very very beautiful 😍 and i'm in love with the lamp 😍😍😍😍😍 nice job 👍

[@liszaandrasik5469]

You did a beautiful job! I watched this with my 4-year-old, who said, "Her voice is so cute!!"

[@kristinandersondc]

I love that you say "chest of drawers"! In the US that's what we say in the South, I didn't realize it was common in other countries 😊

[@alainabishop9299]

I always grew up thinking it was "Chester Drawers" 😂

[@grace7701]

They call in that in the north east as well. I'm from the north east but live in the south east. 🙂

[@sandiebradley7362]

We also say chest of drawers in the UK! 😁

[@DeterminedDIYer]

we just call it a chest or a clothes chest in cincinnati, but if someone said chest of drawers i wouldn't bat an eye. ;)

[@shieshiley8482]

Your hard work has bring you pleasure.

[@sherrindo]

Beautiful renovation! *.* I love your renovation videos! So much excitement in them and your passion for the 50s and finding the right details and accessories is awesome!

[@Foxys10]

I love watching your channel. It reminds me of my sweet, very stylish grandma’s house. It’s all so homey, sweet and dear. Thank you so much! ❤️

[@belindamihajlovic8536]

So pretty the sunroom! You are simply amazing , full of talent & great positive energy you have. Thankyou for creating such lovely videos. Very entertaining! You are absolutely beautiful & always admire your style & red lippie ❤🌷💄🥿👗👜

[@Z-hillsGranny]

Hi Darling! I always smile when I hear you call us that 😊 About this video… take your right hand, place it over your left shoulder and give yourself a hearty Pat on your back!! Well done! That was hard work and I also love how it turned out. I was grinning at the floor lamp. I grew up in the 50’s (I’m 72 years young) and my Mother decorated our home in the “early American” style with some antiques. She had a floor lamp just Ike yours, complete with the scallop-like lamp shade (just slightly different design). I love your style and enjoy all of your videos. I have rambled enough. This is Sage ( my maiden name) in Zephyrhills, FL, USA! Thank you for the hours of enjoyment. 🥰

[@SageLilleyman]

Aw thank you so much Susan for your kind comment!! Xx 😘💕

[@VioletJoy]

Just lovely. How great to have already had that rug! I enjoy your eclectic style. It looks both fresh, but also like it was always like that. You are just adorable. 💛

[@Pureimagination200]

I love the old times look myself. An old desk, lamps, etc. my son went to college and I turned his room into a place for me to paint, sew, etc. but he comes home a lot and during covid he was home for 10 months so he made me move a lot of my stuff out and put into a shed we have. I still do t have a place of my own at this time. I sew in the living room and have fabric and notions all over the room.

[@colleenbrown3366]

That lamp makes the room...what a lucky find!

[@clairedubery1056]

Great work! You look soooo pretty in the pinafore dress!

[@tinaschaeffer2237]

Beautiful!!! You are quite the interior designer! Well done!

[@CharmingAcademy]

Oh my goodness, that lamp! So beautiful!

[@riograndelily8344]

I was born in the early sixties so our home as well as my relatives homes had remnants of the fifties and forties. You did a great job. When I was born we had a pink kitchen with white curtains with cherries on the trim.

[@Martha-xh3ds]

Well done! It is lovely!

[@adrianamarrochi5897]

You made such a beautiful and cozy room, enjoy it, you deserve it. Great job 👏👏💞

You and James crack me up girl. Your relationship is just so pleasing and adorable I love it! And love how you use pop of colors for everything and all old fashioned. Kudos to you guys for doing the renovation it looks so great I hope you know how much you work so hard, Sage! Have a blessed week! 💜💜💜

[@a.s.2395]

You are so resourceful and excellent at sourcing amazing vintage pieces. Your room renovation was absolutely lovely! I would love to see your methods for thrifting antiques, you have a knack for finding genuine quality.

[@janelane4848]

Hi Sage, I’m from WA and now live in Tassie and I just love all your videos. We’ve just bought a little 1910 weatherboard cottage and it has a sunroom that needs some TLC. I was looking for inspiration and had a thought to see if you had done a sunroom makeover, and what do you know! So this was absolutely perfect, I adore the yellow walls they make the room just so bright and peaceful. I shop on marketplace for vintage furniture too, and I had to laugh at the Getz fitting the drawers in, because we do this exact same thing with ours! I swear, these cars are magical. They can fit so. many.things! Every time I show up to someone’s house to pick something up from marketplace, they always say that I’ll never fit the item in the car. I surprise them every time 😄 I’ve also managed to stack six pallets on the roof and tie them down with tiedown straps which was a hilarious trip home, only about ten minutes away but so worth it. Have you discovered the back seat trick yet? You can actually lift the back seats totally up, after folding the backs down, and use the plastic hooks there to hold them in place to the front headrests. When I discovered this, I was floored. Lift the pull handle behind the back seats from the back of the car. Anyway, I also love your chooks in the backyard, and I am absolutely surprised that we have the same chook house, in the same colours! Would you believe?? I’ve had my chook house for about ten years now, so when I saw the video that has yours in the same colours I was like .. wait… wow! 😂 I love it! Even the extra bit of white on the window to make it a full window 😄 I just love your style and flair that you put into your home, it makes my heart sing! I can’t stand black, and grey, I think those are boring colours for homes. The newer houses are just so lacking in character, so seeing someone else with similar tastes to me and making their home their own with beautiful furniture and colours etc is just wonderful and I wish you every happiness and joy with your home and family 💜

[@StarlightViolets]

It looks so cozy and warm in there now! I also love the vintage soap ad next to the washing machine!

I have used a changing screen to hide the pipes. adding a vintage screen gave more color to the corner, and made the chair color pop as well. it was a peice my grandmother owned in her own sewing room, and I love it.

It looks lovely !! The creamy yellow paint if so fresh and bright! One suggestion, to possibly paint white all the brick, pipes, metal hardware for the shelves and shelves also. It would help the pipes ,etc. blend in.

[@ckdupuis6076]

Sage ! you are a treasure to the world to live a harmonious life! A tip about your fabric storage chest from my Gran Mayme ..so for the sticky drawers run a dry bar of soap over the top inside of the drawers to have them slide open easier. We do this with our MCM 50’s and 60’s furniture ! I look forward to all your posts !
