Fun fact from an architect whose school spent a lot of time on historic preservation - the trim you used to cover up the messy bits of the wood flooring around the perimeter is exactly how it was historically used. They would also always nail it into the wall instead of the floor so that the floor boards could expand and contract from heat and humidity without impediment

My contractor husband was cringing HARD when you hadn't staggered the flooring planks yet and breathed a sigh of *deep* relief once you figured out the staggering pattern. Like, he was so invested. He says, gaps at the edge are inevitable, and trim is the great equalizer. Also, he says, "good job, kids. You can work with me anytime." ;) As an interior designer, I greatly appreciate the touches you added to the space to maintain the integrity of the house while making it truly your own.

It’s actually pretty easy to childproof nice rooms, just as long as you don’t have little mouth sized trinkets, all you need is some creative potting so they don’t eat dirt, a fluffier rug or table covering for added protection. There are even ways to diy funky looking child/pet gates using different paints or materials. And the only other worry is glass tables after that. Just a few suggestions as an older sibling who grew up with a little brother and personalized my own space around him. 👍🏼

Super happy about this. If I could live my life in a Victorian conservatory I most definitely would! Fun fact, my husband proposed to me at the Swiss Family tree house at Disney World! The room looks sensational! Well done!

[@solveigg]

The new englander jumped out in the way you say "room"

[@rachelmaksy]

Hahaha does it?

[@ahimsa5971]

Rum

[@froggdoggs8551]

Haha yeah!

[@rgou6809]

I’m from New England and I thought that’s how everyone says it 😭

[@bryannaokelley6181]

Whaa??? Never realized we say it weird. It's just room lmao

[@princessleahofikea6373]

Love this ‘reimagining’ of a somewhat neglected catchall into a quirky fun Victorian sunroom retreat. Thanks for the non-beige-ness.

[@laurencoeling9710]

I laughed so hard at M.E.H. - had to stop and explain to my fiance why I was laughing so much. Such a great find and perfect for the aesthetic!! Well done!

[@Domilyons]

Me too! I woke up my husband laughing and had to explain to him where he promptly fell back asleep!

[@TrishaMariee16]

same 😂

[@meghickey208]

My initials are M.E.H. and I love to surprise people with that fact if we're ever discussing names!

[@MirandaMilner]

I’ve been waiting for this! I want to do this to my living room, but I’m sixteen so clearly, not my house to design. I’ve made my room a time machine though! 1940’s-50’s vibes all the way!

[@chopin65]

It was chic-cluttered, and now it's just chic. Brava.

[@manicmuffin]

OMG It's beautiful!! 😍😭💀 I wish I had a sunroom like this in our house, but we live in SoCal so that's not really a common feature in houses, since it would probably just turn into a literal oven in the summer. One small recommendation: If you haven't already, make a copy of the picture of your great-grandma, and keep the copy in the frame and the original in a photo album somewhere. With that much sunlight in the room, old photographs like that would get bleached out pretty quickly.

[@misacruzader]

I love love love the way you narrate your dog. "Drive-by mlem" made me laugh out loud. I can't believe you did all this in a week. I wish I could say your motivation helped to motivate me, but I think I'll just watch more KZbin.

[@rachelmaksy]

Heehee thank you lovely!!! Making videos definitely helps me with motivation 😂😂 I totally would have kept putting it off otherwise

[@marjoriethompson3790]

Yeah the motivation involved is the most impressive to me! We have been in our house for almost a year and after refinishing some wood floors ourselves we lost alllll momentum. But we are trying! My father in law is downsizing and we are getting some cool pieces from him.

[@ddd6792]

the natural light is so bright!

[@glittery_cucumber]

Also Rachel, this is a weird thing to be complimented on, but you sure know how to pose. I usually find "mandatory narcissistic montages" super cringy, but I looooove yours!

[@kerriwarbanski552]

That plant looks like a pothos or "devil's ivy" (named for their being extremely hard to kill).

[@rachelmaksy]

NICE 😂❤️

[@skully6223]

Lol...I scrolled through the comments bc I knew there had to be another plant "nerd" in here somewhere honing in on those plants like I was...and I figured I'd find someone else who also thought it was some type of pothos!!!

[@shreyabooked9309]

Yup, that's what I came here to say too! Pothos! It's also called 'money plant' in South Asia coz it's supposed to bring prosperity. 😌

[@asmergoli249]

It is likely Epipremnum aureum, a very common household plant (ours is over 25 years old!). Apparently it is commonly referred to as pothos in english, since it was once assigned to that genus. (I'm not a native English speaker and in my native language it has a different trivial name. I have a hard time matching up common names and scientific names in English, so I can't speak to whether the previous commenters and I mean the same plant.)

[@dicesof8]

Yes! I love them because I only have to remember to water once a week and to prune the dead off of it.

[@ruthmeow4262]

Re-watching in the fall, and thinking that this room will be a balm to the soul once the snow starts coming down...

[@sheenachristina2385]

This is awesome! Do you watch “From the Mind of Christine McConnell?” You could totally do those pillows she did. I know what you mean about gramophones- I have been keeping an eye out for an Edison Phonograph, and it is SO hard to find one that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg.

[@JB-hl7tu]

If I had the cash, I'd buy that house the second she put it on the market. Love her channel.

[@meganepelletier853]

If we're talking Christine McConnell and gramophones, I can't help but be reminded of her DIY gramophone revamp tutorial. It turned out awfully gorgeous! I could 100% see a green toned version sitting in Rachel's sun room.

[@hayleeleonard408]

I heard your knees crack when you got up to start the flooring. Relatable

[@celinebrice8798]

11 months later and I finally realized why I love this so much. Its like the Magic Kingdom jungle cruise aesthetic of my dreams.

[@MrGandallo]

I love the room, I can just imagine sitting in there reading H G Wells or Jules Verne but there is a part of me that can't help wondering where all of the previous clutter/ephemera ended up.

[@belladonnabaggins3996]

Ooh! Interior makeovers are so lovely to watch 🥰 And you have like such great style, can't wait to see the end result! ❤ Thank you for yet another video, I hope you're doing well 🌻

[@rachelmaksy]

🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@belladonnabaggins3996]

@@rachelmaksy Wow! The sunroom turned out absolutly amazing! And that ending bit of cinematography 🌸🌻🌹🍃❤

[@cannolicorgi8913]

Rachel is living out my dream aesthetics and I’m seriously jealous

[@thestrangemusician168]

Love this. I’m in the middle of redecorating my bedroom so this is really fun to watch. I’m going for like a vintage, English cottage, literary... vibe. Like a mix of cottage core and light academia lol. Lots of blue and white and antiques and I love it so far 💙

[@ekvbo]

“You, me, and Mister Clean. Get down to business!” You’re the best Rachel! 😂

[@elizabethbryce4283]

I scrolled to this comment exactly as she said it cooool

[@ekvbo]

Elizabeth Bryce 😂 lol

[@rebecca_r]

Who could possibly dislike this video? Love the room's vibe and your personality

[@amydunlap4018]

I just finished my living room in this style and shared it on the bohome page I follow. I was calling it Old-English-Boho, but I think your description is far better! Do a HOUSE TOUR!!!

[@EpiclyAverageGirl]

What's the name of the page?

[@amydunlap4018]

It's a facebook page called "Bohome." It's very interactive. I enjoy it a lot!

[@flikkeringlightz7472]

I just watched a docu clip about the arsenic green trend in victorian times and couldn't help noticing the lovely colour scale... 👍🏻

[@_srvm9]

What’s the docu called?

[@KittyCat-jn1xp]

I have just spent over an hour watching all of your home improvement videos and it’s so nice to see everything coming together

[@nancyharrell7565]

That laughing record can be used at Halloween to great effect.. Loved what you've done!

[@GlitterandBats]

"When doubt add more stuff" Legit my life. I know what you mean I just redid my 2nd room of my home into a beauty room. It did feel like a strange time to be doing a renovation but I needed to decompress after long hours at my hospital job. It actually helped. Loved how the room turned out!

[@natalyaporter5730]

Cool!

[@shaexworship]

I have watched this video like once a month since you’ve posted it. It’s my new comfort video 🍪✨

[@efyra]

Me too!! It's just so cozy and soothing

[@bethanybarber4537]

Sameee this is my fourth time watching it. So comforting 💚

[@clickers8049]

This was the kind of quality content I come on to the internet for

[@elizabethsacktor2818]

More room makeovers please. This is everything I ever wanted or needed. Finally my love for room cleaning montages has met my love for historic type things

[@nataliasmetanina219]

These cleaning videos are so satisfying, I've been a kinda-minimalist for nearly a year and I have nothing left to clean, so sad :(

[@thecuteladybug]

"so i quickly sketched up this" _creates a masterpiece_

[@taraemcqueen4376]

This gave me such Christine McConnell vibes! I would love to see the two of you do a collab one day!

[@1astro23]

You put in place pretty well the flooring and even a pro would had have some space as you did and that's one of the reason why we usually install molding (to hide those kind of details). For the echo, you can help reduce it by adding fabric (curtains, carpet, cushions, etc.) or more soft surface.

[@Ohlalalynnie]

The little section you feel is empty how about one of those plants that looks like a little tree . I think they’re called fig trees? I could be wrong but in a really nice pot that might “hit the spot “ 😬 or an old cello?! Eh

[@TheSolitaryGrape]

Love the chello 😂 could a fiddle leaf fig be the type you're thinking of? I'm not a plant person, but I've seen a few around and they sound like what you're describing

[@spacewolfcub]

Ficus is a plant that often looks like a little tree. It’s kind of the typical office plant to fill up random corners. Pretty hard to kill, or so I am told.

[@JoyKathleeen]

You're looking for "weeping fig". uugg they're so nice

[@evehancock3279]

Oooo get an old antique cello and add fake vines and flowers to it!!!!!

[@mangot589]

I think you’re thinking of ficus.😉. Update. Just had to-looked it up and a weeping fig IS a ficus.
