moody living room makeover *start to finish*

[@CeruleanCzarina]

We need to give 👏🏿 Rochelle 👏🏿 her 👏🏿 flowers 👏🏿! I’ve never seen woodworking as amazing as this! The kerf cuts on that walnut…Spectacular🎉!!! When I initially saw what they were trying to achieve, my brain was like “I have no idea how they’re going to round those corners”. So impressed with this piece! Great job ladies!

[@TheSorryGirls]

TEAM ROSHY! WE 💚 HER

[@FreckledGemini]

Have you seen the WISTERIA she made? Wowza! ❤

[@radcityresin]

I agree, I need an in-depth video of her making that console!

[@BelindaShort]

She's carrying this show

[@gabrielmaroto18]

💐💐💐

[@martynagx]

Not the wisteria blooming one year later after the wisteria party 😅

[@Smartielew]

I was thinking the same thing haha

[@Izzybzzy]

We need a Rochelle vs. Graham vs. DYIDanie woodworking collab! 🤞

[@nadjak3410]

The Canadian trinity

[@sierrareyelts1481]

Yes!!!

[@mandy833]

It would be really cool if they did work for a charity or non-profit in the Toronto area and everyone designed one aspect of the room but they all worked collaboratively together

[@nefertitimontoya]

Yes this exactly!!!

[@NoelPendergrass]

Would click so fast!!!

[@Vera-n7l2c]

You could stain the paper lamp with tea, to make it more moody and natural.

[@tinysealooter]

It's very white 🤍

[@139139mimi]

Yes this!! It's uncomfortably white! Also pls fix the bottom half

[@SJC49]

Please don’t stain the shade - it won’t come out even coloured.

[@hmmhuh1222]

​@@SJC49 that might look cool and more natural!

[@louibeans]

​@@139139mimi shhhh we dont talk about the bottom half 🤫

[@danielharmon15]

If you have any leftover wall paint, you should repaint the two light cords so they blend into the wall more.

[@dawnrodriguez5099]

Yes! I thought the same thing!

[@shastabare6026]

Honestly! Who designed that iconic lamp with a mismatched cord and mounting plate? Crimimal

[@jocewaitwhat]

rochelle and french cleats... name a more iconic duo

[@TheSorryGirls]

truly though ❤

[@kelzbelz313]

A French cleat works extremely well, is under appreciated and looks great. Much like Rochelle.

[@lauriedunn6198]

So glad you found the green! White would have spoiled the atmosphere.

[@dawnrodriguez5099]

Absolutely!

[@emilyk-l2240]

I know you said mot to address it but I have an idea for the paper pendant: what if you lowered the strip slightly (or raise the paper shell, whatever is easier) so the strip is centered in the pendant? That way the top and bottom would fade away evenly and it would look purposeful. P.S. Rochelle?!? That cabinet is amazing!!!

[@ajh0198]

Great idea!

[@cholzheimer]

Yes this! Or even a little puck light popped in the bottom lantern for another quick fix xo

[@katherinewill2704]

I think I would remove the bottom shade on the pendant - it looks too much like barbells. More visual interest with the three shades and you solve the strip lighting problem.

[@user-pw2ws7wi1i]

@@katherinewill2704 i actually was just about to comment that- i think removing the bottom one will also elongate the hanging pendant and make that corner look taller as well- instead of stopping your eyes at the couch! i feel bad saying something lmao because she said not too, but i love paper lamps and they’re such a statement for ambience- i do kind of like it in the thumbnail of the video tho 😅

[@katie6745]

Rochelle's cabinet is STUNNING! Great job!

[@TheSorryGirls]

STUNNIN! thank you for watching 💚

[@coolmomASMR]

I am convinced Rochelle is the Sorry Girl's majestic unicorn of woodworking and DIY! She's also adorable and fun to watch. Way to go SG you're continuing to kill it with all the additions to the team. (Rachel is darling and magical too, BTW!)

[@alishamyers68]

Rochelle's cabinet is stunning

[@TheSorryGirls]

it really is!! she's a genius 💚

[@evrbeen2tx]

I'm so glad you committed to making the green curtains work!! It is SUCH a vibe

[@TheSorryGirls]

thank you! love the vibe 💚

[@belleballentine]

My heart broke when you cut that bird print it was SO cute

[@TamarLitvot]

I had the exact same reaction! The little pic is cute but I would have found a longer horizontal frame (or made one) to have all the birds included.

[@KGlena-kx1df]

Maybe we’ll find the cutouts hidden away like easter eggs (ha) in other parts of the home in the final tour?! (Please please 🙏)

[@ambernicholson6307]

It’d be fun to see bits as oversized art or wallpaper in another tiny space like the one at the top basement landing

[@SuperSibsGaming]

Same, but then I needed to know where it was from & it is actually a paper placemat with art by Vicki Sawyer. Needless to say I ordered a set lol.

[@lainabobaina3203]

When I saw the birds I pictured it as the main art piece. The colors were right and it’s so flipping unique.

[@patriciahamel5674]

This room turned out so great . . . Except for the paper lantern pendant light. I just feel like it looks too much like a beginner DIY project while the rest of the room is so elevated. (Not just referring to the mix-up with the strip light. The balance of the lanterns themselves is off.) You definitely have the skills and experience to make a much higher quality version of it, and I think that you should take the time to do so if you get the chance.

[@NicolewithouttheH]

Agree 100%

[@InitialSHE]

hard agree. the lantern is a flop, i fear

[@megmal1301]

Maybe when Kelsey revisits her lantern lamp she could try tea staining it to give it a more wabi sabi aged look! It end up looking very expensive and definitely would help the lantern fit the moody space a bit more?

[@paulagebhardt6018]

Paint the Ikea light mount the wall color! Also all of your switch/outlet covers.

[@eileenklugh7087]

My wife used to work at the Noguchi museum!! We have three of his lamps in our home and they are soooo freakin stunning. I love seeing artists get recognized!!

[@TheSorryGirls]

omg i love that! 😍💚

[@valarya]

Girl (and gamer) here. I'm the one in our relationship who demands the giant TV and epic gaming setup. So yes, I can relate. 😛😛 I would love this room!! Turned out great, and Rochelle does it again. 👏

[@katietatey]

Walnut is my favorite wood. I LOVE Rochelle's cabinet! I am so impressed that she even attempted those curves. What an amazing finished piece it is.

[@TheSorryGirls]

she is our resident genius 😭💚

[@Randis-vv5hg]

OMG the BIRDS!!!! I adore them! And you cut them up - ugh The whole room is such a vibe. And Rochelle is a genius woodworker!

[@kiriaioulia]

I love the paper lantern light - but it screams dumb bell to me!! LOL Maybe the bottom globe can be removed, undoing the dumb bell vibe ...

[@pear92]

Rochelle is a straight-up carpenter, here making things from scratch from a vision

[@cesbi]

Living in an old brick building, the fact that even YOU are intimidated by brick is soooooo healing for my self esteem.

[@altosanon]

I was about to say, I understand that pain!

[@sarah-beth-thomson1034]

I think that the space looks so great, but you should definitely add your throw blankets and pillows from before, I think they would help tie in the quart’s coffee table, plus make the space nice and cozy.

[@lynnaandj1]

Rochelle killed it. Again.

[@denisemallory3439]

I love everything except the painting behind the sofa. The cabinet is beautiful and the curtains are stunning. I’d love to see the paper lantern lit all the way too. Do you have plans of finishing that off?

[@melodyishere1908]

Same!! The room is stunning but the painting doesn't fit. But it's an easy change

[@nadjak3410]

For the painting I think a creamier, non-stark white would look better than the white-white

[@Idontwantachann]

I am so thrilled how you did this for Elliot. It is so nice to see the journey you two have taken together and how much you have made these changes to the house you had originally planned as your own home/income property to become the neat for you two.

[@TamarLitvot]

Though it's hilarious that Kelsey turned her basement into a light and bright bedroom suite and now a bedroom with good light is turned into a dark basement room.

[@lmsalim]

@@TamarLitvot omg that is SO TRUE. LOL

[@alixorosexo18]

I like the room. I appreciate how realistic this is. Not all diys are fun and easy. It’s so clear Kelsey was trying so hard for this room.

[@debsmith2269]

Everything looks fantastic. It was a good call leaving the wall green. I feel that changing it to white would've ruined the whole moody vibe. It would still look great, but it wouldn't be moody anymore. Job well done🍾

[@TheSorryGirls]

thanks for watching 💚

[@milliesparadise5]

Rochelle absolutely crushed it, like how?!!? 😮 Curtains came out perfect too!!! But the paper light 🫣

[@lechatbotte.]

I so identify with Rochelle, I hate math. She’s the bomb with tool which I love. I want to try Kerfing a project. Beautiful work Rochelle. Those drapes turned out amazing.

[@TheSorryGirls]

thank you so much! 💚

[@TamarLitvot]

I can't help but think that if she had learned math in a relevant way, e.g., through woodworking, she would be great at math. I didn't like math until it became something relevant to what I wanted to do and I ended up being a math and numbers person as my career.

[@saraw8503]

Agree. I say if people unable to read are illiterate, I am innumerate.

[@helenm1085]

​@@saraw8503 Maybe you just mean this in a jokey way, but there's genuinely a numbers version of dyslexia, called dyscalculia!

[@chelseadoll6269]

✨ STUNNING!!! ✨ I love that you added so much art and color and shapes. Rochelle's GORGEOUS console is the centerpiece for sure! 🤩 I actually love the lamp, and like someone else suggested, think tea-staining it will make it match perfectly.

[@vikkib6983]

Kelsey, this room is fantastic! I admire your "make it work" attitude. I loved seeing you sew the hem of the HANGING curtains. Only you could do this. Rochelle is a master carpenter. Lastly, Elliott is one lucky dude. xxoo

[@TheSorryGirls]

you’re too sweet 😭💚

[@leahposer]

In 2024, it's a no to feature walls and yes to feature rooms👌🏼 So glad you found curtains!

[@hmmhuh1222]

the dress at 15:44!!!! looks stunning on you, Kelsey!!!! that style suits you incredibly well!!!!

[@linearebecca]

This is my absolute favourite make over you’ve done Kelsey! 😍 So beautiful ~ so green! I can only DREAM of a movie room like this one day 😍😍😍😍

[@justjillnojack]

the media cabinet is INSANE!!! rochelle's talent and skill 🤯👏🏻🤯👏🏻

[@champagnemommy]

All I can say is, we all need a friend like Rochelle. She is so talented, she’s got the goods. 😮❤

[@ruthedwards-shirley9042]

This is one of my favourite rooms that you have ever done! And that Consol table!!!! Whoop whoop!

[@northwoodfalls1403]

Outstanding. I’m sooooo glad you replaced the curtains. They look * chef’s kiss * perfect in that space. The entertainment unit …. Are you for real?!?! Rochelle😮🔥. The lights … the coffee table … the backlight on the tv …. I mean, it’s all just so good !!

[@naturalgalwilliams]

Rochelle needs a raise!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽💐❣️

[@candybrooke22]

Rochelle is such a hidden gem! She really can get what she put her mind too!! Looks awesome!

[@stacybroussard3097]

WELL DONE ROCHELLE, THIS CONSOLE IS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!🤩🤩🤩 The room came together nicely!! I think it is perfect for Elliot... What a Beautiful gift that you created for him❤

[@Dev-ld4gi]

At this point, the Sorry Girls are barely attainable DIYers because they are so insanely talented. Like Rochelle is a straight up professional wood worker. Incredible transformation! I love that the room is quite minimalistic but the colors and lighting make such a big difference to the ambience.

[@juliapinhabel4285]

Rochelle is so confident in this video, love it!

[@k1mst3r]

Rochelles woodcraftmanship is amazing. Keep her at all cost!

[@suzy1676]

😮 Rochelle!! That console cabinet is AMAZING 👏🏻 ❤!

[@joycewilliamsteague6487]

I think that is the prettiest piece of furniture Rochelle has built. Great looking..great job

[@maddieslack9903]

The room turned out beautiful! Good call with the walls and curtains. Rochelle’s cabinet is perfect!!! The only miss for me is the paper lantern. Not even bc it’s not lit properly, mostly because it looks cheap and like a beginner diy. It really throws off the room since everything else is so elevated.

[@lindsaynicole8967]

It would be cool to see an X shape with the coffee table legs

[@annaowen]

Haha, the bird print is actually a placemat! My aunt used them for Christmas dinner one year and we loved them! I believe there's a whole bird series, I love the idea of repurposing them!

[@jessicaleesantana]

We need a full Rochelle console tutorial pleasseeeeee!!!! It’s so gorgeous and the process of making is sooooooo cool!!!

[@edianeh]

Rochelle is soooo talented it's insane!

[@krusten]

That couch looks so good against the green. Beautiful!

[@camilove318]

One of my favorite rooms you've done.

[@TheSorryGirls]

💫💚

[@lovawood1629]

Rochelle is just bad ass. So inspiring. GOALS!!

[@babycakes8973]

I would just replace the lamp centipede it looks really weird! Draws my eye in a bad way.. I love all the green 🥰 not sure about that painting maybe hang it 2 inches higher?

[@rocioiribe5841]

lamp centipede!!! i'll never unsee it 😂😂😂😂😂

[@rocioiribe5841]

kind of reminds me of Mr. Hankey, if anyone gets that reference. lol

[@staceyschmidt3149]

Not the best order to connect those shades in, in my opinion. I would have split the column-style ones and connected the spheres together with the columns one on each end, or just used one column with the two spheres below it, or something. Something different than how it is...

[@staceyschmidt3149]

And the large painting doesn't work all that well with the amount of white involved, personally. For a "moody" room, it's too much white. But each to their own.

[@queen_j1422]

Rochelle and Graham (from Team AG) are making a way out of no way!!!!💜💜💜

[@lizg9551]

Gorge gorge gorge! Literally do not understand the hate for the pendant or the coffee table, this room is such a vibe!

[@ksch1177]

not finished yet, but omg the curtains look perfekt! I was so sad last time, that the all green walls would go, but now its peeeerfect

[@JohannaHertzman]

I love this so much! Green is my absolute favourite colour and I'm slowly but surely turning my bedroom/livingroom in to different shades of green, mustard and dark wood, so this is such an inspiration!

[@d.trudeau]

Great big job ! I find you very valiant ! And a big clap to Rochelle! I like everything except the white lamp, she captures a lot of attention. Maybe less brighter? And warm bulb ? Mini battery christmas light? Anyway, if it’s to your liking, that’s the important thing!

[@emilyfs19]

The talent these creative women have amazes me ❤

[@maggs810]

i definitely want a room like this in my house. I love the idea of having a room dedicated to movies/gaming that is different than the living room. props to Rochelle for the unit. It is STUNNIN'

[@marthaboal5818]

Beautifully done...magnifica!!! Yes, I agree dab some green paint on thoze light cords and on th face plates. Beautifully done !!!!

[@alyssalynn91]

I love Rochelle’s wood working skills She is amazing

[@FunkyRainbowbubbles]

So cool ❤ love that you didn’t repaint on the green and found out a better solution 🎉

[@Sozomi17]

Always enjoy watching Rochelle level up! Killed it!

[@leechesterr8954]

Rochelle army assemble!! Roshy killed it and how❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@lup89]

This room looks amazing!!!!!! Found your channel like a month ago and been watching nonstop, love it. You guys are so much fun and have great ideas. 💪🏽 I've been through a rough patch and you've inspired me to change my house a bit and regain my power. Thank you!

[@lornatw]

Roch’s colour is definitely that dark pink head band and tank top she was wearing love love love! So cheery and bright and matcha to her!! Also incredible cabinet 😮❤

[@kimwest221]

This is literal PERFECTION. I am also a green girlie so I love absolutely everything about this. Looks like it's just missing a cozy blanket! I'm also obsessed with that coffee table, I've never seen anything like that before!!

[@livijoy3867]

I appreciate all of the things that backfire in these videos so much, like not everything is perfect and this is real life and you just have to roll with it and I love seeing it!

[@ShM3]

Woow , I have to adress how Rochelle‘s work is amazing. She is really an artist. You are so lucky to have her in your team 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 Rochelle you have to take especial orders and make extraordinary pieces ❤ AND THE ROOM IS JUST PERFECT 🤩

[@kenziegagnet5356]

Love seeing you redo the ol rental you build out originally slowly turn into your upstairs home. It’s interesting that your bedroom is in the basement but your entertainment room is upstairs. How does having that layout work for your guys day to day life?

[@carolynewilliams1194]

Those curtains are perfect. ❤Rochelle is the Queen of Carpentry! ❤I love moody rooms. Wish I could make me another. Beautiful. ❤

[@lov3lou]

Rochelle🎉🎉🎉 your work is so impressive. You also have a beautiful voice!

[@darlouthia5153]

The end result was STUNNING !! Bravo on the curtains I was so hoping you weren’t going for the accent wall. It would’ve killed the vibe. And the console, the lighting, the coffee table… such a success !❤

[@TheLovelyyJen]

That table is beautiful!

[@emilyflavell1658]

Thank goodness for Elliott saving the fully green vibe! It's so worth it!

[@LoriM222]

I love, love how the room turned out!! It's so cozy and warm. I'm sorry, but I have to say that I don't like the glass coffee table in the space cuz glass doesn't feel cozy to me and I think a big ottoman would have been a better choice cuz you have that awesome shelf you created behind the couch to put your drinks on, plus you could add 2 of those small tables that the bottoms slide under the couch but give you a place to put a drink and snack (forget what they are called). You are so creative and I love everything else you did to this room and wow on what Rochelle created under the tv, perfection!!!

[@Nancy-ko6bn]

Paint your lamp cord to match the wall. I’ve done it and it makes a world of difference. The room is gorgeous. One more trick. Perhaps if you put a mirror in the bottom of your light maybe it would reflect the light to the bottom of the lamp.

[@CaliMel184]

I LOVE that you worked as a team on the curtains!! That's awesome. The cabinet turned out sooo beautiful! Also hooray for your Sponsorship! I love when Best Buy and the Geek Squad work with you guys. It's always totally on brand with the video you are doing and it's nice to see. Paint the cords green and the mounting bracket for the light! and I love how much you did for Eliot! It's so sweet.

[@cathlohrentz]

Please please please can we have a written tutorial or something on Rochelle’s floating tv unit?!? I literally told my boyfriend I wanted a unit exactly like that a few months ago - my stars have aligned 🤩

[@sofieholland5585]

it's... definitely something!!! i don't think any of the art or the lantern works... but rochelle KILLED that console table!!

[@halaalam]

Rochelle is something else! 😍 And the new background in her workshop looks great! So cheerful!

[@kennaharrison603]

I would love to see a matching light (left side) on the right side. Paper lantern is cool but maybe in a light colored room. Also gaming graphics for the wall art….beautiful curtains learned a lot! Thanks

[@lins8753]

Kelsey's outfit's in this video though 🔥

[@KGlena-kx1df]

So glad I wasn’t the only one! Seriously, you girls should start putting brands/threadup links in the descriptions 😂

[@vic6950]

Loved the result! Amazing work 😍 It was really nice to see the process and of making things work

[@_cherry_marly_]

Rochelles work is insane! The final outcome of the room is great

[@DLRTraynorCoberly]

Rochelle’s growing talent is incredible!

[@emmadiller1372]

The timing of the music with the saw cuts around 5:40 was stellar 👀

[@katietatey]

The wall color is a beautiful green. I must say I couldn't see why you wanted the curtains the same color, but they came out great. They really do match, they look very professional with those pleats and I love the way you hung them. I may need to try that type of curtain rod myself. I'm so glad you didn't paint one of the walls white. The room turned out great. Hope you guys get a lot of relaxation in there. :)

[@christiemcgowan9507]

Yayy Elliot! I am SO pleased that you went full moody- this space is one of my favourite that you've done it's giving all the vibes 🙏✨️

[@kimberlyvillanueva5817]

Rochelle is INCREDIBLE!!!

[@andreamiller3578]

This room is awesome! I love the greens and browns. Relaxing and attractive.

[@kaylarimer]

This space turned out amazing! Glad you kept with the full green. Also we are in our structural lighting era. I recently was able to splurge on an Akari, the one I wanted (24N) had one left in stock when I was showing my mom, so I had to go for it! It was 1000% worth it (even worth the significant customs charge - I’m also in TO so be aware of that if you decide to go for an Akari). You can see the craftsmanship and love owning a piece of art and history that’s also functional. makes me happy every time I look at it ☺️

[@twinnish]

Rochelle is talented! Beautiful work. I love the final results of that living room. It’s stunning and I love green. I think the couch looks great in there and everything looks so cozy.

[@pajopajo8710]

Woooow Kelsey! It looks amazing. So glad you sticked to the curtain plan.

[@jackieclark817]

Gorgeous room, fabulous curtains, stunning console! Rochi is a goddess!
