I agree. This blew me away. I almost never subscribe to any channel or even like videos but I had to for this one. She knocked it out of the park. That room is so sophisticated and beautiful. The lamps were gorgeous in the original green and a perfect match. At some point it would be nice to see the curtains upgraded. Drop cloths could work well in that space. Even back when me and my husband were on a tight budget I would always spring for custom curtains. I would go to a local fabric store and ask for recommendations.

This is what I call an exceptional video. First, her voice is so pleasing to listen to. Next, she explains every step without OVER-explaining (yay!) or dragging things out. The pace of the video is perfect. Finally, her design sense is spot on. The room looks cozy, stylish and peaceful and she was so thoughtful to ask Madison what her aesthetic is. I’m glad I came across this video and look forward to watching others from her channel. Well done!!

Your re-use recycle ideas are always so inspirational and refreshing. Kudos also to Spencer and Madeline for sidestepping the “want it all new and now” mentality. Hopefully over time they will realize that most older furniture is far better made than today’s trendy fare. At 75, most of my wood furniture was my parents! As public school teachers, thriftiness was a necessity and hand-me-downs were welcomed!

The home makeover shows make me want to throw out everything I own every few years. What I have discovered is that you should furnish your home gradually and resist the urge to have everything completed in a month. Create Pinterest boards for your dream hone elements. Before you do anything, use a tape measure. How many times have I bought something in a thrift store or consignment shop and discover, too late, it is too big for my room? You cannot buy window treatments without measuring your windows. I gave a 930 square foot house built in 19t0. Visitors always compliment how relaxed and comfortable they feel with my eclectic furnishings mainly acquired at consignment stores and walls painted in soothing colors.

Our Dear Ms.Sherry, everyone needs extra storage space. Especially apartments, which i am assuming this is. Bed risers are super cheap. Just purchase one for each leg, (some beds have 5 legs) and place the legs into the risers. Instant 8 to 10 inches more storage space under the bed, and a higher bed looks good, too!! I have done this for every bed in every house i have lived in, and it is EXCELLENT! Often you can fit complete lidded tubs underneath (recommend clear for easy viewing) and/or gobs of stuff including Christmas decorations. If you want to cover the space underneath, get a couple of thrifted sheets cut to a depth to stop just above the floor and glue gun them along the bed's bottom frame in either a flat style or gather and glue gun them for a more 'cottagy' finish!

First starters, I can so much identify with moving to your first apartment with practically nothing but a bed, Walmart sheets and bedspread and an old lamp scrounged from a curbside. The high end designers have budgets that sometimes include knocking down walls and buying Italian furniture that they have custom upholstered. Your step-by-step explanations, the products used and the prices were wonderful aids to inspire inexperienced DIYers. Thank you so much for this everyday realistic project.
