The Weekender: "Massive Primary Bedroom" (Episode 4)

[@kezkezooie8595]

Did you notice the size of the wardrobe in that massive room? It was tiny by comparison. I think if they'd partition walled part of that huge space and made a good sized walk in wardrobe/dressing room it would have made the bedroom more functional. It did look nicer at the end and the headboard worked but the finished room reminded me more of a large studio apartment than a bedroom that was part of a house. I guess there is such a thing as too much space!

[@mranthony1886]

Kez that room also would cost just as much as a 2brm apartment to heat and cool.

[@nrey4255]

I came on here to say just that. I would have built a better closet on the opposite end and still have room for a smaller sitting area and a king size bed.

I LOVED that headboard

How did I miss this? 😳 Great job, Monica. I thought I saw all of the weekender... Now I gotta start all over😅

[@MoPoppins]

Great job, Monica! You always have such a great vision for each space, and being able to execute it within a budget, while making it look more expensive, is impressive.

[@cmason2365]

All they need is a kitchenet and they never have to leave the bedroom. Really turn out nice. 💜

[@bluelaugh07]

Wonder what the living room looks like if this is the bedroom.

That headboard is everything!!!!!! Wow!!!

[@getserious5224]

Real Fun! Thank you Lowes and Monica. Found you on the Lowes AppleTV app. Wife and I binged on the Weekender with popcorn. So many great ideas without the drama of the "other fixit" shows. Thank you again. See you at Lowes.

So glad to hear! Keep your eyes peeled in the next week or two for more popcorn-worthy episodes :)

im used to watching Mr.Kate so these series made me jump for joy! :D totally subscribing

[@rightlady1]

The remodeling is perfect according to budget, the headboard is stunning !!! And only note, that every object might be bigger. The colorful blueish print can be taller for half wall and wide from window to window, and framed of a white molding. Side tables might be wider 2x and if the desk will be near to a reading nook will be awesome.

[@katiegagel9183]

I LOVE watching these! It makes these "big projects" seem obtainable.

[@lowes]

Thanks, Katie. Be sure to subscribe to our channel to be the first to see a new episode every Thursday.

[@dallyn792]

Great headboard. Painting all the walls will make it feel cozy. Paint the ceiling too. This would've been the perfect time to enlarge the closet.

[@rn1005018]

Wow - show some appreciation! All of that hard work for Monica and Matt and they barely show any expressions! The room is gorgeous! Thank you guys - I appreciate your hard work!

[@gordondemouth6280]

Great job. I love the headboard and the console table. I would have painted the inside of the "fireplace" black and maybe turned the chairs towards it. Then add a table between the 2 chairs. But I know budget was an issue. They can lay down tiles as a hearth and maybe add candles for cold nights and have a glass of wine there. The other sitting area is fantastic. Thanks for doing these videos. Great inspiration.

[@monicamangin214]

Hey Gordon! Love your ideas! I totally agree about the fireplace. I would have loved to do more there, but 2 days goes by SO FAST especially in a space that big! We had to do some basic projects to make time for all.that.painting! ha! Thanks for your encouragement! -Monica

[@lrrcew]

Wow, that faux fireplace with the empty wall, and electrical outlet, is just amazing......

[@ZevaRose]

Lowe's PLEASE MAKE MORE! I love this show so much, It has inspired my mom and I to redesign our living room and dining room. Please make a season 2

[@susuilu]

this could be perfect for a family who doesnt mind living in a small place. lovely

[@Juhani139]

I feel the faux fireplace needs something. Anyone else? I'd do something else there, maybe a bookcase? Or a dog sleeping area? Or a beanbag for the kids to sit on if they come visit mom and dad? :P It's their bedroom, are they going to invite people in and ask them to sit in front of the fake fireplace? The rest is wonderful. Love the headboard.

[@hart3254]

I agree, put in a gas fireplace. They are affordabe now and get rid of the fake mantle, it looked out of place and silly imo.. Then I would of hung a tv over the fire place and put some loveseats in front. Also I don't know how big their closet was but there were no dressers in the room, odd.

[@tashposhohgosh]

I agree it looks like they ran out of money I would put a faux electric fireplace and put a TV above it

[@jt.s.7418]

Maybe add a gel fireplace insert. No power or gas.

[@jannibal9273]

@@jt.s.7418, I have a gel fuel fireplace in my living room and there is nothing more cozy than having a fire going on cold evenings, beginning this time of year (it's October 2020 here now and deep into autumn and getting colder by the day), and especially during the holidays, I have a fire every evening. Three cans of gel fuel, burns cleanly and completely, doesn't need venting, throws off real flames and real heat (be sure you have a screen in front of the fire to prevent sparks from flying out) and even pops, snaps and crackles like a real wood fire does.

[@HelloJosieLiz]

That bedroom is epic.

[@connielove290]

Best show yet love the way you use cheap tricks that pack a wallup

[@brandijones1147]

It was a great space! I think Monica did what the couple wanted and stayed within their budget. There are always other ways or things that could be done; but you have to remember that you want to deliver what was asked of you regardless of how you would do it for yourself.

[@mrs.mcnamara1669]

They could fill the space with a whole other family.

[@jannibal9273]

With unlimited funds they could build a wall and create an entirely new room upstairs. But if the master bedroom is that large, they probably already have a large loft area or "family room" area over the garage plus a "family room" area in addition to a formal "sitting room" (what we used to call a living room in the "old days" before McMansions became popular) on the main floor of the house, and perhaps even ample space in the basement that is also finished off. I mean - they have 2 adults and 2 people rambling around in what 5,000 square feet? It blows my mind - and just imagine what the real estate taxes, homeowners insurance, and utility bills must be for such a place every month. They live in New York or close thereto - it's going to be UBER EXPENSIVE and it gets damn cold and snowy in the winter.

[@BettyOs]

Beautiful!! The space is mindblowingly BIG!

[@jimtownsend7899]

Ah, Doylestown, PA!The Doylestown Inn at 0:04 and 3:39, where my son works in The Hattery Restaurant (in the Inn), and the view at 0:47 of the white building housing a Starbucks, is practically taken from his doorstep. In fact, the shot of The Molloy Building at 3:41, is actually taken from his front door!So in addition to enjoying The Weekender series, I get to see scenes from my stomping grounds. Sorta like watching Stone House Revival on HGTV, which usually occurs in and around Bucks County, my home for most of my 60 years. Sweet!

Marvelous use of space. The room looks so cosy, too. What is that blue paint color?

[@hart3254]

That room is huge. I would of made an office out of part of it. Also, I noticed there were no dressers in that bedroom. Also you can buy gas fireplaces now and I would of done that for that bedroom, then made it very cozy with a nice mantle etc. I feel there was a waste of space in that room that could of been used better. The decor was nice, It didin't blow me away.

[@ec8927]

Hart an office or rent it out to another family

[@martpspsps]

Really nice, loved it!

[@hpowe1]

I know she did the best she could but I was really hoping they would do a large dressing room/closet. I have one and it's the best decision I ever made. I know it's a lot to ask of one weekend and a limited budget but that's what that room needs. There's nothing better than an impressive walk-in closet and it doesn't look like the space has one. In addition, I would have turned that couch around, hung a giant TV on the wall so that it could be seen from the both the couch and the bed and made that into a true parental retreat. If it's going to be as large as a studio apartment, it may as well have all of the same amenities. I also think the console table between the windows is a little small for the space. There should be a LARGE piece of art between those windows, two statement lamps, and a longer table, if that's how the room is going to be oriented. I think the real problem is that this massive space needs a bigger budget and enough time to do it right. Usually, her designs are great but this one can't help but miss the mark. It just needs MORE.

[@jannibal9273]

They were working with what they had. Buying a new sofa can be expensive and they already had that sectional, so why not use it there since they had the space. I thought it tied in well with the mood of the room and the rest of the furnishings.

This is probably my third or maybe even my 4th time viewing this series, I just love Monica! This room was great, as far as it went. I realize, though, such a HUGE space there is only so much that can be done in 2 days plus a little finish up. I really liked the idea of the fireplace mantel and still do, but those chairs - nope - mistake. You need something more lush, plush and comfy there and bigger, to take up more space. And a big fat cushy ottoman. I think the fireplace should have also been built out further from the wall and heat lining installed so you could use an electric log set and really give it a more total and romantic/cozy look, especially in the winters in New York state! Maybe these are projects that the owners eventually did themselves, or brought carpenters in to do. I would love to see some follow-ups of some of these episodes (4 seasons worth and enjoyed every single one of them) now - a few years later - to see how they've held up and whether they've stood the test of time. Monica has such fab ideas and they can be applied to so many different types of homes (like my plain old 1956 basic 3/1 "ranch" house in Milwaukee) that's why I keep coming back and watching her over and over again. The inspiration never gets old.

[@mbkooij3746]

I love your work, you inspire me a lot 😊

[@rani197878]

Good job.thanks

[@jannibal9273]

Looking at this once again on 10/17/20. I would like to have seen a deeper fireplace mantel, a hearth, and either a set up for gel fuel with ceramic logs (the gel fuel actually gives you real flames and heat but is safe to use without venting outdoors because it burns clean), or an electric fireplace "screen" or a log set-up of some kind. Staring at a 3 inch deep "fireplace" with nothing in it just smacks of - NOTHING. And those chairs were not inviting you to sit there and have an intimate conversation on a cozy evening before the "fire," either. But I loved what Monica did with the rest of the room, considering the limited time and budget she evidently had and trying to fill that huge space so it's useful without looking overcrowded. Frankly, how much time do people actually spend in their "master suites" when they're now at home essentially against their own choice because of the pandemic!
