Today we are getting things moved in, I wanna show you the mood board for our living room, and we’re going to get started on bringing it to life. I think it’s actually hitting me that we aren’t going back to our house and we have this whole empty space to make into our new home. It’s a whole mix of emotions because it’s intimidating and it’s exciting and as I’m looking around I can just imagine all the things I can do here. We just gotta take it one day at a time..let's make this into a home!

That Sezane room reads "modern chinoiserie" to me, because of the golden art work, jewel tones, lux velvet juxtaposed with neutral grass cloth wallpaper. My mom's house has a similar feel. Large Chinese watercolor of pond/waterfowl on the wall, the colors of which appear in the room: late mid-century modern camel colored L-couch, red velvet accent chair, wood coffee table similar to color of your new console, brass accent lamp.

[@TinaandBrian]

Already feeling like home ❤ So many new memories are on the way and we can’t wait to share it with y’all 🎉

[@earthangel8399]

Love Tina's excitement. .... looking forward to her home projects

[@anita.fineapple9450]

Hi Tina. The style of Sezane's home is Mid-Century Modern mixed in with Art Deco. Her walls and ceiling coves are more Art Nouveau which is what most Parisian homes are. Her seating and furniture, esp the leaf lamp, are art deco but that style bookshelf and jewel earth tones are a staple in midcentury. It's my fave style too. I love the warmth and textures you can add to make a cozy home.

[@aevan8tor]

Ayyy welcome to the OC! I'm gonna fangirl if I see you around lol

[@cayladd]

if you want to change the cabinets in the kitchen, you can wrap them in colored contact paper or cover them in contact paper and paint that. Super renter-friendly and can totally change the look of your kitchen.

[@rita2506]

Walmart has some great wood toned contact papers that I have wanted to try on our cabinets!!

[@LeahHandley-e5l]

And Hey Tina I love all the furniture! You DID ask about how to lighten up the kitchen and if you look at the kitchen from the living room, where you can see the bar chairs facing the kitchen?,… it would lighten it up IF the frames of bar chairs were actually the lighter wood tone that you said they come in,.. similar to your console. Just try setting some kind of lighter wood in front of the bar and you’ll see what I’m talking about. I still love the ones you have though. I’m sooooo hss as ooh for you two!

[@Daxkilatch]

Congratulations on the selling of your home, and what a gorgeous new space! I’m so inspired by you and your husband, keep up the gorgeous creativity♥️

[@sherryangela7455]

You can wrap your cabinets with contact paper (make sure you buy a durable/washable one) and look at videos of how it’s done, it’s actually pretty amazing! Unless you are allowed to paint them. If so I’d definitely paint!!! You can also do the countertop (which you have done in the past) oh one more thing, I have never seen anyone wrap the inside of their cabinets, but i would do that because it would just look that much more real

[@swatzzz]

I guess putting some rub and buff and/or black details after light staining would add more depth to the plain wood for the frame?

[@mariahmulhare1706]

I am OBSESSED with the color palette for the living room!!! Can't wait to see the continued progress.

[@IMOO1896]

I love your kitchen space! There’s so much counter space. I’d that inspiration photo “Japandi ” style?

[@lisalewis6631]

So excited to see what else you do with your new blank canvas/home!

[@martymaddox7828]

Love everything you’ve done……..can’t wait for the rest !!!!! Congrats to you and Brian for closing, and the new place …….Take care and Thanks for sharing!!!!!❣️😊❣️😊❣️

[@alansubervi9335]

Can wait to see what you come up with!!! You got this Tina and house-painter extraordinaire Brian!!!

[@catherinecarreiro3955]

Can’t wait to see wallpaper and the finished product 🎉congratulations on sale of your house

[@l.e.bingham6643]

Hello the new home is coming along nicely, the TV console is absolutely stunning. Congratulations on the new chapter in y’all’s lives. GOD Bless and yes I definitely excited to see everything that you have planned for your new home. 🙏🏾🥰💖💯💫

[@Kaditsu-Chronicles]

Congratulations on selling your house! It is fun seeing all the pieces you’ve selected to go with your design vision and seeing how you put it all together. Go Girl!😍

[@Patti-1962]

It's going to be so much fun to see what you guys do with this new space. I'm sure you will come up with a way to warm up the kitchen by covering the dark gray!

[@kendiholloway2378]

Loving that console, the doors 😍 and that chair is so stylish. I would be tempted to do the bedroom soon so you could have a little relaxing retreat after a day of diys.

[@Just-YOLANDA-T.C]

Congratulations on selling your home and your new place. I am excited to see what you do for this space. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@darawilson4101]

Tina on the wall behind you would make a gorgeous gallery wall. And the wall going up the stairs.. I'm so excited for you!! I'm dreaming about when I get my own place!! Xxoo

[@RitaVernoy]

This is going to be such fun to watch!😊

[@aliamichelle_]

I think you should leave the frame as is. I also have grey walls in my apartment that I cant pain, so I’ve warmed it up by mixing wood tones all over! So excited to see what you come up with for this space! ❤️

[@donnabacon4681]

This is going to be so fun to see how you decorate. I was thinking staining the wooden frame; however, if you like mixed wood tones, that's great! As you stated, waiting until the wallpaper is up to decide. Is your TV the kind that you can show different scenery! That would be so wonderful!! Congratulations! On selling your home! I love how Brian showed a bit of excitement!!! 😅 Enjoy your day!!

[@vedakendrick8521]

I'm in love with that sofa, chair and the console!! 😍It's gonna be so beautiful when you've finished!! I also like the two different wood tones!

[@cataclopintheskywithdiamon8032]

Many blessings for this new life ! Love the energy you guys have !

[@hnycreek]

I just love this place! The windows are awesome with all the wonderful light coming in. Can't WAIT to see the wallpaper!!!

[@April-vc9rq]

I also wouldn't bring my old furniture with if I could receive these beautiful new pieces. Sometimes I consider becoming a youtuber just too receive furniture from Castlery 🤭 I love all the pieces you've selected.

[@lamujerdunchino]

Cannot wait to see all your ideas turn into a beautiful space for you guys 💜 Thanks for sharing

[@tinalemac]

I can’t wait either!! Thanks for watching 💛💛

[@evastrassburger122]

That wonderful picture looks like an Asian inspired 70s style to me! Really cool ♥️

[@donnahutchinson7813]

I am so thrilled for for the two of you.🎉 A blank canvas; a diy'ers dream. 😊 Tina how does it feel going up stairs to your workplace instead of downstairs?

[@nicolerenee7105]

I literally live for videos like this ❤️

[@angiehenderson5372]

Greetings LOVE the bun!!!! U should wear it more often. BTW, congrats on the move, so proud of you. You do a great job with whatever you do

[@Sooz1234]

Quick change in the kitchen- try a warmer light temperature in the fixtures to "de-gray" the space a bit. Can't wait to see your new space as you rework it! Congratulations on a smooth closing on your Chicago house, too.

[@sandieedward993]

Like it grey😮

[@cecilecosterus-zq8gc]

Sezane home looks like a moody japandi style to me. Love!

[@hollyhasegawa6095]

Oh gosh Tina, this new place of yours is so pretty, and I am so excited to see all of the DIYs that you are going to be doing. So awesome you sold that beautiful house of yours and this one is so awesome as well. I really love all of the furniture that you got those barstools are really gorgeous, and so is the new sofa and also that TV stand, that is so awesome looking and I really love the style of it as well. You and your husband are so great at all that you do and create. Thanks so much again, wishing you a beautiful and restful day, sending love and hugs, bye! 👋👍😍😊💜

[@biancaarellano4793]

You should paint the kitchen cabinets a green color to bring your favorite color into the home and its also so homey

[@avigailsumaylo6253]

The TV frame matches the stools you got. I like it in that light wood finish. Your living room is coming along nicely! Are you going to do fabric blinds or curtains?

[@madelinerivera3837]

Love the lighting in your new home. Can't wait to see how the framed television turns out.

[@luperodela9668]

Congratulations, you are both sooo cute! Love the furniture! The TV frame would look soo good in the walnut to match the side board! J/s

[@maps5018]

You always choose awesome wallpaper Tina!!!!!!! You will def make those rich tones work very well

[@LuluPuffysleeves]

if you paint the kitchen bricks a warm color, the grey might also appear warmer

[@lornawood3260]

Love the excitement; congrats on the sale of your Chicago home! Looking forward to seeing more of you decorating your new home! ♥️👏👏👏🙏

[@vvitch-mist20]

If you're into maximulism then you could put a like goldenrod on the walls, but if you like minimalism, then keep the walls as is, so the transition can be a little smoother. Although imo, goldenrod/mustard walls with white, or cream, accents would look amazing.

[@reneed5714]

Hey Tina Congrats to you both! I was going to suggest staining the frame until you said, "Don't mind the mix of wood colors." So, perhaps after putting up the wallpaper, then you can decide what's best.

[@L0U1SE]

Nice start! I am sure you will bring some more colour and warmth.. cushions, plants, rugs, wall hangings ❤

[@elinakatarii]

Omg I love the new furniture, especially the tv console aaaahhh had I not built one for myself, I would be shopping for something very similar 🤣 Slowly but surely your place will turn into a home and I can’t wait to see it 😍

[@mellymel1100]

Congrats on the new house. How fun to be able to just buy things you want or be given them for a new house!! Not a fan of the chair but everything else looks great!

[@RealDracoYoutube4404]

Congratulations on your new home I know you will make it sooooo beautiful.

[@jsmith8904]

I LOVE the tv console!

[@ianabernas56]

Congratz on selling your home! I'm excited to see what you come up with your new home!

[@mommygarcia9137]

Can’t wait to see you work your decor magic !! I know everyhing will look beautiful !

[@GilliMarieMoody]

Good. Admittedly, your choices appear to be more modern and the colours less intense than the Suzanne Guiguichon inspo😉. Congrats on your new digs. Cheers.

[@koukounut]

I think staining the wood TV frame would look so goooood!!

[@whatlolawants2167]

Tina, by looking at your mood board you need to unfuse a lot of color. I wish I could see the wallpaper. Painting the rest of the walls a taupe color or whatever beige would match the wallpaper would warm up the feeling and you can cover those grey cabinets with a really good contact paper from Amazon in either a color or design for a warmer feel too.

[@thechickincharge1073]

Are you guys doing the house flip kind of thing now? Loving it so far!!!❤️❤️❤️

[@jojocatattack]

The frame would be a good place for green!

[@monicalperez728]

Stain the same color as the tv console, Congrats on the new place and closing on your house!!

[@elizabethrosado4602]

Hi Tina !! So excited for you both !!😊❤, Thank you for sharing your new journey in your new home!! Best Wishes 😊

[@Morganjenkins0422]

Looks great Tina!! Can’t wait to see the tv frame done. I’m making one for mine, but can’t decide on color, thinking gold.

[@mlt1992]

That’s the TV I have and I loveeeeee it!

[@almapatin9909]

Congratulations on your new house 🏠. Can't wait to see you all the dys😊

[@Itsrella]

loving that tv console for u

[@Itsrella]

i just found out about wasabi aesthetic and it reminded me of you

[@_JanetLouise]

a new home! so exciting!

[@Kimella777]

Wonderful so far❤😊work bench asap. I need to build a user friendly work bench on wheels with place on back to hand tools. Can’t wait to see what you come up with❤😊

[@antiquesrestoration3874]

I like mixing wood tones as well.

[@pman2916]

Congratulations on the sale of your property 🎉

[@lindaroyal8161]

Whoa, there's a closet in your garage area; don't remember it from the initial walk through. That will be great storage for the work station.

[@whatsaudreymaking]

I love the DIY! I’m super excited to see what you do with the place! I have that miter saw and would totally buy it again if I had to!!

[@daliensteyl3374]

Can not wait to see what you are going to do to your new place

[@mariajosemanganaro]

This house is gorgeus 🥰🥰🥰

[@jebageorge4741]

Congratulations!

[@rita2506]

So exciting, Tina & Brian! Question: where are your white cargo pants from around 11:48?

[@mentallygrowing247]

I need you and Laurdiy to do an ultimate diy collab!!! Diy QUEENS UNITE!

[@WeFlyOnUnicorns]

Or even with lone fox!!!

[@KuvYogSala]

Ahhh! So excited!

[@tinalemac]

Heheh, me too!! Thanks for watching, Sara 💛

[@bwitched3810]

Congratulations on selling and buying a new home ..welcome back to OC xx

[@jnorman20]

Hey Tina! Could you PLEASE tell me where your plates/ dinnerware is from?! I’m looking for that exact style.

[@karenrussell8319]

Maybe you can use peel & stick well paper & back splash in your kitchen to bring in other colors to neutralize the grey Love the new place ♥️Can’t wait to see what magic you create ‼️‼️‼️😬

[@aliciamolloy5948]

It looks beautiful already Tina!

[@brinagotsued]

I look forward to seeing what you decide to do with the new home, everything is a bit white at the moment.

[@brendasparks6234]

Love mixed woods

[@ismininikolaidou9848]

Can't wait to see what 's next! 😘

[@garlicgirl3149]

I like it all.

[@louilind4300]

What about adding fabric like wall paper around the kitchen in a warm rusty color? I think that something earth toned and red toned (rusty) would look beautiful with the grey kitchen. I think the grey can work if you give in to a moody atmosphere. Instead of taking away the grey. Replace the white parts with colour!

[@lorimecikalski3079]

Sooo, what was that "happy dance" move Brian was doing while you patently waited for his high five? I'm calling it the duck waddle! So funny Brian. LOL

[@r0na]

I need those counter stools!

[@pdubstuff]

Welcome back to Cali

[@janbeard494]

I would not stain it. I love to mix wood tones as well.

[@lizz_crossing]

I would like to know where in OC this is. I am born and raised and I feel like I’ve never seen apartments this good

[@craftywabbit9547]

Ooooo...it's begun... 😄

[@sandrabongiovanni8247]

👍🏻🤩🏡🤎👏👏bravo pour la nouvelle maison coucou de.belgique 👍🏻🙏

[@florberlinski613]

Beautiful home❤❤❤

[@isabelcicena9181]

I think maybe a wood of some sort on the island

[@nathanfruendt2720]

Big floor plants because you get a lot of light all day

[@joanneshaw3071]

I wouldn’t like to be a KZbinr but in saying that the amount of free stuff they get is insane. Would save you thousands!

[@luciacabral316]

Does the landlord allow you to paint and wallpaper?

[@alisoncoles1565]

Great start to the new place! .... but.... I thought you said you were going to do the bedroom first this time? 🤔😝

[@tinalemac]

That was the plan, but I am having a hard time choosing the right pieces for it 🙈🙈 So living room it is!! Hehe

[@rachanasoma776]

Strain the frame to match with ur console.

[@elzacreatif7511]

I think I also would be very bordered if the TV frame was a different stain color. However, it also would look good if you were able to make it the background color of the wallpaper.
