Traditional Small Space Rental to Furnished Rental Makeover

[@sylviashanabrough6515]

I love it. Everything looks so light and airy. The entire space is so fresh and inviting.

[@NutshellLiving]

Hi Sylvia! Thank you so much for your encouraging words. Light and airy is just the vibe I was going for. I’ll have more time and budget in the next phase to embellish the place a little bit more. The tenant will move out in Oct. I’ll post some of my fresh decor ideas then!

Welcome Back! Wow!!!! Simple word but the best way to describe everything. It's absolutely gorgeous. The Nutshellers Missed You but we understand. So many great take aways - I'm going to watch again!

[@NutshellLiving]

@@ProducerJoe thank you!!! Can’t wait for the second phase when I can add some more art and original DIY decor. The tenant seems to be happy with the place. THANK YOU for watching!

This turned out really nice! 😊

[@NutshellLiving]

Thank you! I’m quickly onto the next petite cottage makeover. Check out Part 1. It’s going to be a chic reveal on a budget.

So glad you’re back! Love the rug and the overall style of the rental!

[@NutshellLiving]

Thank you!!! Great to be baaaack! Thanks for watching. 😊

The rug is genius! ❤ the bath is so much better, clean, fresh looking. The kitchen has a beach cottage vibe with the cabinet color. The stainless steel back splash with the knife holder is a serious game changer for counter space. Love it. Love the bench in the dinette area. You certainly haven’t forgotten one small space design trick, in fact, I do believe you added to those in your books! I would have waited to rent it as well. Congrats! 🎉🎉🎉 I love how lush the bike looks, too. I am always scanning the roadside for a bike I can repurpose. Your’s is very inspiring. 😊 Have a wonderful week.

[@NutshellLiving]

@@lindawynell Hi Linda! The week doesn’t feel complete until I read your kind words. I see this rental decorated in stages. I felt pressed to get this cottage ready for move in and there wasn’t time to add all of the art on the walls etc. Once the tenant leaves in the fall, I’ve got some clever decor ideas that I will be giving a whirl. Thanks for watching. I hope your son is gaining strength every day and that you are able to check off some of your fun DIY to-do list.

Love this so much!!!...actually about 6 months ago I purchased a sisal rug to put in my home office and realized something was missing... and when I see what you did with the stenciling ...that gives it some design and texture ...great creative tips all around!!

[@NutshellLiving]

Thank you SO much for your kind comment. I felt exactly the same way. I love the way sisal looks clean and coastal, but it needs a little personality. Stenciling is a quick and budget way of making that happen. No artistic talent required. Hope to see you for the next one!

Beautiful job!

[@NutshellLiving]

Thanks for watching! I am working on a big reveal in the next episode of yet another small space rental cottage. Hope to “see” you then.

[@joyful8072]

@NutshellLiving I look forward to it.

Hello Friend! You are back with a beautiful design for your small space. I really like the outcome of the entire space. Do I favor one area better than the other, yes I do. The dining room and kitchen are my favorite. Also, the stenciled rug in the turmeric color is turned out to be flawless, good job! I love it. I’m going to take a second glance at video. Thank goodness you got a tenant, she is going to enjoy the comfort and newness of her small space. Thank you 😊

[@NutshellLiving]

You are so sweet with your feedback. The dining room turned out cute and it was the most budget friendly zone. The wood bench was in my guest bedroom, and I guess you recognize the fabric from the duvet cover I made for my own bed? The table I got from FB marketplace. I ran out of time since I wanted to accommodate the tenant’s schedule. The nice thing is that once she leaves in November, I’ll be able to style another layer with art etc. See you next week!

[@SuzanneOost-dc2yh]

What’s the source of your stencil? I love it and can imagine doing it in our bedroom. Thanx

[@NutshellLiving]

@@SuzanneOost-dc2yh Hi Suzanne! I ordered this stencil from Etsy.com: www.etsy.com/listing/1571011985/ It’s wonderfully priced too. I painted my bedroom walls with it.

[@rachelmoriartyinteriors]

It turned out sooooo cute!!!

[@NutshellLiving]

Thank you, Rachel!! What a compliment coming from a lauded professional!❤

[@PerfectionismRewired]

YES green painters tape (frog tape I think it’s called) transcends the blue tape!

[@NutshellLiving]

You are so right. I’m also feeling the blue tape used to have a little more grip than it does. I’ll stick with the green. Thank you so much for watching.

[@agl5132]

Absolutely gorgeous. ❤ May I ask where you purchased the hat hooks? They are fabulous and look like pieces of art when the hats removed.

[@NutshellLiving]

Hi there! Those hooks are such a find. They are from an independent seller on Amazon, hand carved which I liked. Here is the link: a.co/d/cR6gZFb I will be adding a few more to the foyer. They really hold hats well. I am a little bored with metal hooks. Be well and thanks for watching.

[@cherylgemignani6694]

Where did you buy your rug and stencil. Looks fabulous!

[@NutshellLiving]

Hi Cheryl! The rug was my favorite project. I bought the rug from Amazon: SAFAVIEH Natural Fiber Collection... www.amazon.com/dp/B01GS0RROW?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share Size: 6x9’ Stencil is from Etsy www.etsy.com/listing/1571011985/ Good luck and let me know how your project turned out.
