[@melaniecalabretti6282]

Thank you Weekender!!! We absolutely LOVE our office makeover. Ceiling is AMAZING and I think you need to be in our room live to really appreciate it. If the pattern was simple, I don't think the effect would be the same. The drawers in between us offer a sense of privacy and I would have never thought of it! We actually went through our paperwork and neatly organized everything in the cabinets. Our life is organized now and Monica's design was PERFECT :)

[@betsysanders4524]

What do you store in the upper cabinets? I love the idea but I’m short (lol) & I’m not sure what I’d store up there. I’m not sure how often I’d want to get up there...

[@blondebobbi4505]

Wow!!! I love it too!!!

[@ummumar9207]

@@betsysanders4524 thats the place you can store past tax invoices until they expire and then you can throw them away.

[@the.annethology]

are you able to keep everything?

[@rbroccoli_]

Looks awesome! Hope you've changed your wifi password since then!

[@ladeanlombardi8638]

The ceiling! & the office layout!

[@sharma.mahesh26]

Awesome transformation of the room

[@larasoohon207]

Wow this was so beautifully done.

[@patirvin-bz9pg]

The ceiling is the star of the project. I like the ceiling light fixture as well. Instead of boring office fixtures this also says, home. Very creative and well done.

[@monicapak6972]

Wow , this is awesome! Love it !

[@patientlywaiting77]

This was super duper cool. Love the accent wall/ ceiling

[@RS-fi7cc]

Wow, Monica. You are a gem!

[@oktaviaekapuspita]

Amazing home office makeover for two.. 😍😍😍

[@vashimahamad5584]

Great work for office design this is amazing

[@robertalbailey4830]

I am several years late...but boy do I love this whole office - the blue was just AMAZING!!! AAAAHHHHH! THE BEST!

[@shelleynobleart]

Fantastic results and those tips are gold. It was incredibly sensitive of you to still give them the option of still sharing a desk facing each other. It's funny how things like that are integral to people working at their best. This kind of human emotional design is why you are the absolute best. Charming couple too.

[@flowersafeheart]

"Human emotional design." Nice phrase, I like that!

[@YashaClone]

Please start including cost of materials used, even if its just paint that was used on the homeowners existing furniture. It would make a world of difference to people wanting to try out projects!

[@jordandrexler9559]

ikr that's what i keep writing on these comments sections

[@tiawilliams5690]

Prices vary so widely. I’d recommend getting the product list from Lowe’s so you can get local prices.

[@flowersafeheart]

Great idea! I love these but unfortunately not everyone has all the tools used though.

[@andreianascimento6992]

This couple is so lovely, they deserve it!

[@cathyherring6424]

My favorite part in the WHOLE thing ....WOW!!!!!! ❤️❤️💕❤️😇

[@lolayancey3626]

This room is wonderful! I like every bit of it!

[@theidiotsquadlol5513]

Omg im obsessed!!! With this series on lowes

[@elsjemassyn8921]

Astonishing --- I am amazed how a cluttered room can become a spacious room with the right furniture and fittings.

[@mamatha987656]

Monica you are magician!!!!!!!Amaze..love your creativity!!!!!!!FABULOUS

[@claimsandwarranties6121]

The ceiling wallpaper no doubt is a favorite!!!

[@walle5667]

Wow, this is just amazing. Soooo good 👍

[@garyperry8291]

I love the wall paper pattern. It looks great on the ceiling!!

[@calbear1313]

These weekender projects are stunning and motivational, practical and stylish. I will confess I have watched several without giving you s thumbs up simply because I binge watch and forget to! So thumbs up from me and please keep up the amazing doable transformations. I will subscribe as well. Your vision ,execution and personality are spot on. I know it's hard work but kudos to you, your carpenters and Lowes !! Cheers from CA Dave

[@lowes]

Glad you like them!

[@estherolawuyi1687]

Monica how did you amaze me even more?? Gosh I love this

[@ciennacharron8820]

You’re truly a wizard. How can you convert such a small office to such a spacious masterpiece.

[@lyudmylanokhrin8106]

Amazing office makeover 👍

[@Sharonnecs]

The papered ceiling turned a work space into an elegant office and the cabinets near the ceiling with the crown molding added sophistication to the room!

[@jenford7078]

The use of painted kitchen cabinets & plywood desk tops made the space sooo workable! BEST home office I've seen by far

[@karendenemark8083]

Love the ceiling and the blue cabinets!

[@nathanhittle9457]

You're SO awesome, Monica!

[@enolagranville3882]

Very imaginative perfect for them👍🏽

[@mommadukes4924]

Uhm, what is my favorite?!! There are so many!! I wasn't sure about the ceiling but I think that might be my favorite. It is absolutely stunning & the cabinets match perfectly. The room definitely looks bigger with the desk positioned where they are now. And it gives them so much space & storage. I just love the entire thing!! The color, the set up, the storage, the cabinets..........EVERYTHING!! Bravo!!!

[@joeladzim1225]

My favorite is that cute mom.

[@verniceirene]

This makeover is INCREDIBLE. My kiddo always wants in my space and I have been considering a setup to allow him space in my space and this just might be the answer. So good.

[@pattistuber8018]

It's been years since I've watched this episode. It is still my all-time favorite one you've ever done.

[@twisterjester]

A few great takeaways in this - with so many people working from home now, a lot of us need a two-person office, and I can definitely see this working for a shared room! The damask ceiling and chandelier aren't our style, but I could see a different pattern and lighting fixture working for us!

[@rosedewittbukater5763]

This turned out SOOO BEAUTIFUL!!!

[@trueinteriord.i.y1423]

Just discovered this and I can't stop watching. Her approach to designing is functional, practical, luxury ,clean and simple.

[@richo1410]

Looks fabulous! Great design!

[@melanieeaton7302]

Love the makeover!

[@truekolourshub6291]

Love the ceiling and the Blue colour used for the cabinets. Thumbs up.

[@akinigiri]

I love this room!!!

[@karenwebber9200]

You really are gifted. Very creative!!! And efficient...but nothing hides that sweet heart! Well done!

[@Katrinaantonius]

this is my favourite room improvement of all The Weekender's episodes!

[@AsimUllahOnline]

This trasformation is just AMAZING - Looks Sooooo Goood.

[@artemiszero2153]

That is such a beautiful office. Great and simple ideas.

[@claudiaelaine4104]

I would not have had the patience for the ceiling. It looks great!!

[@Locutus0fBorg]

They should have just painted it a solid color, the wall paper is hideous.

[@willn8664]

I would have been content with it being white.

[@ruqaalmotabaqi4294]

everything look amazing but im not really sure about the wall paper color and print, I mean in daylight its great but dont know if its gonna be suitable to work with at night as well. personally i wouldnt be able to do so

[@AlaynaMarley]

This office is absolutely stunning!

[@sandradudley8962]

I didn’t think I would like it, but it is beautiful and so much organizational space. Great job! 👍

[@ladybee9921]

This is my fave project of yours. My fave is the wall paper. I want it. My husband and I work from home like this couple and would love this too.

[@arceliacody5151]

Am speechless!! The transformation is super awesome!!! It is Clean, spacious, bright, relaxing effect and inviting. It looks high end office. Instead of home office. Super Job! Love it.

[@nicolebennett4937]

Simply beautiful!!!

[@LochanaC]

This is seriously AMAZING!!!! I really love how you organized the room and made it so beautiful. Awesome stuff..

[@theoffkeydiva]

I was frustrated just looking at that old desk set up, I would be able to stand three years of that. The new space is so much more inviting but it is more professional: I wouldn't be ashamed to have a meeting in there!

[@ydgidrey]

Monica, as usual a fantastic job. Love the layout and the cabinetry. Hate to say it, but I love the ceiling wallpaper. I don't think the homeowners could be more happier.

[@pattistuber8018]

This is my absolute favorite makeover ever that you’ve ever done

[@ginasobota5088]

This office make over is awesome! 🌹

[@zenchickthatbuildsstuff]

That wife's laughter is so adorable!!! That cracked me up all through out the episode. Fantastic job!!!

[@matthew.canessa]

¡I LOVED IT! Great job, definitely

[@pennyyoerger4079]

I love the wallpaper on the ceiling. This reminds me of something my Mom did back in the seventy's. She used gold marbled metallic contact paper on the ceiling of our dining room. Good memories. Thanks

[@santiiceabs3869]

I love the room transformation.

[@AimanNagarwala]

Everything was beautiful. The ceiling, storage, desk design, lighting in form of light shade and centre lighting in the form of chandelier, high neck chairs, the boards for making notes and calendar, the art pieces to balance empty walls, hanging storage space adjacent to door for mail, the art piece, the clock, the hooks to hang stuff and the greenery on the desk and in the room. Everything was so detailed and carefully thought over. Thanks am learning a lot from you.

[@aprillittle595]

Love it! Use of space is next level. So good!!

[@MarkHumphreysChannel]

You guys CRUSHED this one.

[@eonnad82]

Monica, you have totally outdone yourself this time! This was soooooooo good!

[@Candisias]

I'm definitely going to incorporate this in my new home. hopefully it turns out this beautiful.

[@pearlvongpusanachai5942]

Monika, you are SO GOOD at what you do! Genius!!

[@flossiebarfield8826]

love love love the ceiling and the cabinets!!! Thank you for the idea and inspiration!

[@marshamathieu436]

I’m so glad I found a DIY home makeover channel that I could relate to. I can actually do these projects!

[@MsAponte69]

I love Melanie. She is so cute and I love her happy manners and attitude. I love ppl like her. Happy to see you and your husband got a great office space from Monica.

[@snoopy6867]

Another masterpiece. Truly incredible. Such a talented staff. The ceiling treatment doesn’t darken or shrink the room. Love those cabinets.

[@lowes]

Thanks for your comment!

[@elizabethrivera5298]

Love the custom desks!!!! Beautiful 😍

[@janethwendel46]

Loved the ceiling the most! But love the whole room! Really great storage ideas! Never thought about doing the cabinet sideways!

[@lowes]

Thanks for your comment!

[@alexanderperez2732]

One of my favorite projects you've done

[@kaycox5555]

You are just SOOOOOOO creative!! As usual, terrific job...Wonderful. Makes me wanna go shopping at Lowes....

[@mikelow706]

Kayinfso Here nj&1@929

[@briannab5296]

Kayinfso Here ... that's the whole idea 😉

[@matthewsgaming5333]

Wow! That is really great and functional looking! Love this construction gal!

[@flowersafeheart]

LOVE this. Fun choice to do patterned wallpaper ceiling. Totally improved the function and beauty. They were obviously pleased and I imagine this really brightened their lives. Good example of how I see such crossover in the home decor and home organization fields. I like that the cabinets were used as an opportunity for color and the homey, comfortable quality the rug, chairs, and plant add.

[@naraira__1397]

I love how they have their personal space in the end and at first i didn't have any idea how the table gonna turn out. But it looked really great. I mean the table in the middle. If you have books ordocuments you need to access to, you can just put it there and try not to mess up the main table where you put your laptop, pencils,pens or notebooks.

[@alexisjankowski3281]

I think I might want to go with these colors in my bedroom!

[@MeliiT82]

I can’t even IMAGINE who would give a thumbs down to this!?! This came out BEYOND gorgeous! Omg I want an office JUST LIKE THIS😭😍❤️

[@sandradelgadillo9430]

Hi Monica, I'm totally LOVING the office space you made with your team. I would love to make one for my space since finding one the right size is a challenge for my small space and lay out. I think it would be a good idea to attach a link in the description where it takes us to that particular project where you go more in depth. The DIYers would TOTALLY APPRECIATE THAT!

[@leslieclement1864]

One of my favorite designs!!! I think the transformation is amazing!!! 😊

[@theblogauthority]

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this office makeover!! We are going to try to do something like this in our home office. Right now we have two desks on opposite walls and work with our backs to each other.. trying very hard to ignore each others' phone conversations with clients.

[@Mojo_jojogirl]

I watched there reactions twice! It was wonderful!

[@Laki-d9x]

What an awesome office! I would love to have a office space like that except for the wall paper on the ceiling. It is kind of too busy for me , but I just love it!

[@r.mercado9737]

Monica, I truly enjoy your teachings! Not bad at all! Semper Fi

[@kreinova2747]

The part that i love is the ceiling wallpaper, actually at first i am sucks with the art of that wallpaper, but it is doing great with the combination of silvery wall and darl blue cabinets, + the nice beautiful desk, really love the cabinet and the desk

[@sharonvirgin5016]

That office turned out great! Thank you for sharing

[@ayhdiv84]

I think this is one of the best transformation video on youtube 😍

[@laureninc1037]

Every time I think I found my favorite episode they come out with a new one I like more. She out does herself every time. I especially like that these are projects I could do at home.

[@simmyhorwitz3332]

Unbelievable! It looks stunning! So clever and such good use of space, and of course, beautifully and tastefully designed. Well done

[@melanieeeee10]

I've been watching The Weekender since Rob and Corinne's makeover and I'm loving it. It inspires me to do some DIYs instead of buying everything! I've gone back and watched all the episodes and I'm so glad they are longer now! The wallpaper on the ceiling was a genius idea! Love it!

[@lowes]

Glad to hear you're inspired to DIY!

[@sarapawsonherrington2595]

I want that in my office! And I don't share it.. Beautiful, and the blue you chose is great!

[@candicelitteral1954]

I love your creativity!! This is a great office space.

[@thebradoctor]

I love the cabinets on the wall. Really love the calendar. I have to do those projects in our space!

[@olgaortiz436]

absolutely beautiful two spaces for office and the colors are my favorite awesome awesome awesome I'll keep this one in mind wow

[@Amilprz]

Monica you out did yourself again. Well done 🤗 the office transformation is stunning!

[@LB-hr3ce]

Absolutely love almost everything, including the colors. My only suggestion would be to move the two boards (calendar & sticky note) more in the center of the wall. Just put the second hook where the sticky note board is. That would look more balanced to me. The plant could be optional. Wonderful job though. 👍👍👍

[@TravisTylerLindsey]

This was a beautiful transformation

[@craigtalbot607]

AWESOME!!!!! Wish I’d done this BEFORE Coronavirus brought the entire family to work at home - at the same time!!! I can’t believe they used the old setup for three years!?!

[@SourianteOrange]

Their reaction is priceless!
