Transforming My UGLY Basement | DECORATE WITH ME

[@charlenedimonte]

Looks gorgeous Leslie. Lots of hard work but so worth it. I’d paint the plug receptacles the same colour of the walls so they disappear, I do that everywhere in my home. Your basement looks absolutely beautiful, love the different sitting areas. 🥰 Great job. 🙋🏼‍♀️🇨🇦

[@lindarohlwing2829]

Agree

[@nancyandrews8891]

Well Said...

[@Chrissy_Mad-Scots-Wench]

Leslie, everything looks amazing. If you paint the switches to hide them, use a sharpie marker to write colours of paint inside, this will remind you if you need to touch up the walls at a much later date ❤

[@sharanlesmeister5548]

I honestly think this is one of my favorite remake overs! Everything is PERFECT! Good job, Leslie!

[@ACharmingAbode]

Thank you Sharan! 💕

[@nancyandrews8891]

Sharan, Well Said...

Your basement is lovely! For your cords try bundling the excess behind the lamp leg and running cord to plug just under the white ledge using cord clips. Command Hooks makes clear ones.

[@cocoloco9173]

I love it!!!! You and Liz are my favs!!!!

[@donnaninness796]

Wow...just wow!

Hi 👋 Donna how are you doing? Hope you don’t mind if I subscribe to your channel

[@Living_Your_Best_For_Less]

WOW!!! That looks like a million bucks! I absolutely LOVE it! Everything turned out fantastic! If you don't care for the bar stools you could always paint them and then recover the seats in a navy fabric. It's super easy to unscrew the tops and then staple gun your new fabric to them and then just screw them back on to the legs!

[@helensmith3917]

It turned out so beautiful and cosy, once again it has given me so many decorating ideas. You should definately write a decorating book, you are so talented.

[@anniscrawford4210]

Great transformation. You’ll get so much enjoyment here.

[@lianeabeyta4515]

everything turned out so nice. Love the blue with the woods. For that awful plug high on the wall... first I would paint it the same color as the wall so it would not standout so much... then I would take the cord from the lamp, add an extension cord and run it behind the mirror to plug in the other side with the other lamp , eliminating the cord up high on the wall.

[@darleneschuelke7149]

What an amazing transformation ! It's all beautiful ... Leslie I love how you explain each piece and how it all works together thank you for that ....

[@ACharmingAbode]

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoy that! 💗

[@christinaamezquita84]

What a BIG difference I love how you decorated everything. Such a cozy place to be in. Great job as always.🥰

[@terrymoore3978]

What a tribute to Jason and his precious family and friends! To Mikayla, I want to say I know what it's like to live many miles away from your dad, as he and your mom negotiate the changes. It has to be so much harder because of his young age. I was raised in Pensacola, Fl, and moved to North Carolina in my early 20's. We saw them often, but I still wasn't able to be there all the time, and flew back and forth frequently. Honestly, the best blessings you can bring are the calls and facetiming. To hear your sweet voice is the salve they both need. Kelsie, what a blessing that you are close by. The trips you took and all of the adventures will be sweet stories to share with your little one. Remember, your dad lives on in you! I will be praying for both of you girls. My husband has Parkinson's and I see the fatigue set in during the afternoon of every day. His neurologist explained the type of fatigue felt by patients with these types of cognitive issues is one we cannot fathom. Thank you, Leslie, for sharing your life with us. You can't know what a gift it is for me. God bless you.

BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL IT MAKES THE ROOM BEAUTIFUL

[@margarquetfortunato2913]

I loved everything about your basement remodel!! From the warm color of the walls, to the new pillows and that MIRROR!! Great idea for the grandkids pictures! I know they will look amazing! And it’s Super affordable too! You have the magic touch for sure!! Love everything you do!! I’m SO grateful for you Leslie! ♥️

[@patgriffin1925]

Hi Leslie and Jason, The transformation is absolutely beautiful! Love all of it! Leslie you do everything so effortless. You are blessed with beauty and talent!!!

[@HomeSweetHearth]

What a difference!! I love the palette you used. I gasped when Alexa turned on the basement 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 It looks ready for family night!

[@ACharmingAbode]

Thank you friend! 💗

[@sdeaglefeather]

Awesome! Elegant yet relaxed. One paper thing I discovered a while back… newspapers always have roll ends that they will sell. They run anywhere from 2$ to 5$ and work for just about anything. Even a place for grandkids to draw and do their crafts, etc. and they don’t get the area messed up. Love the look of the basement. 👍🏻

[@gerryarmstrong3518]

Such a beautiful, cozy place to spend your evenings. You should become a decorator because you're so great at it!!

[@sandythornton5166]

Wow, what an incredible transformation!! This is a gorgeous room and so inviting!! You really brought everything together to make it a cozy space to enjoy!! Wonderful job!!

[@lindaevans9781]

Leslie, wow that is just beautiful! It has such a cozy feel, and the wall colour is very warm. You did a wonderful job.

[@cjfromtexas3954]

Love your basement. Wish we had basements in Texas

[@valmac3887]

Even after all these years perfect grieve is still my favorite paint color. I've had it in my house for 5 years.

[@TRoxanne55]

What a difference. Looks so much better

[@gayemarianesfox2405]

Everything looks great and so well-thought out. You can’t have too many books, birds or greenery! I also see the bird silhouette in that little vase thing.

[@joymiller-fite1444]

Hi Leslie, The lights in the bookcase are everything!!!!!👍

[@janeknight5070]

Your basement looks beautiful. It looks soft and warm.

[@fransirahome]

I love that big mirror. the basement turn beautiful.

[@anastasiaag8486]

So beautiful, you don't think it's a basement!!!!!🌹❤💖

[@csutherland11]

Beautiful and fresh!! I like the shape of your barstools, if they’re sturdy I think they would look great painted and recovered

[@nicolestroh1581]

That basement is showroom status!!! I love it!!!! Perfect spot on that couch to watch one of our two recent snowpocolypse’s! 😉. Looks great. You did great and made great choices!!! Love it!

[@nealbettie5327]

Love it! I would paint white and distress the bar stools, then reupholster/recover the seats in a fabric tying in the blue hues. Miracles happen with a staple gun.

[@nancyandrews8891]

Love Your Wood All Around The Room, The Basement, which it doesn't look like a Basement ! Beautiful !!

[@sandrakayhayes5776]

Looks fabulous!!! I'm a blue and green person, so this is SO pleasing to my eyes!!! Enjoy every moment you can!!! 🙏🙏💙💚💙

[@fralinsandfriends]

We've been recently redecorating our home. Light gray is such a beautiful color when you want to put color around it. I chose a light gray with a very little hint of lilac. Everybody loves it. 😁👋💖

[@bettypecoraro8104]

I don’t usually care for gray, but my daughter put light gray with a hint of lilac in her bedroom and it looks beautiful.

[@orietdiamond4185]

That's what I did a little over 5 years ago, and I still love it! My bedroom and bathroom are both so elegant.

[@CarnivoreStork]

You’ve got a natural talent to decorate. Very beautiful & calming. Thanks for the great ideas. 💜

[@tracy_222]

Looks great👍🏻🏠 one suggestion I would have placed the large wooden wall arch over you console table.

[@ellendown5508]

Oh my it’s just gorgeous. You are amazing and love the ideas of using the tape and paper to guide you on the spacing of furniture and pictures as that saves so much later.

[@sj6728]

You are truly blessed with an amazing talent!!!!! Beautiful!!!

[@shalenawright4173]

Wow! You are so great a making the room flow and it ties all together, love the mirror and all the lighting! Everything you chose is beautiful, just like you!

[@shawnbartels6091]

Looks so nice! A tip for hiding cords is using double sided tape and taping to back of console table along the top of back of table and along the back of floor lamps and along the wall.

[@marshawaits8397]

I love how it turned out🥰 Everything looks so cozy. I really like the colors you picked. You really made that room look so inviting.

[@kathycastano7754]

What a great job you did on the basement! I loved watching the video - I love watching all your videos! You are super inspirational! Thanks for all the good tips! Really looks beautiful!

[@johnnycharles319]

Hi 👋 Kathy how are you doing? Hope you don’t mind if I subscribe to your channel

[@jeaninewalsh5120]

So cozy and fun!!🍿🍷🪴💖 Love your paint color and furniture choice. Grandkids are going to Love it! You could paint the stools until you find exactly what you are looking for. Spray paint is a good quick fix. Enjoy!

[@frettiaolmos8216]

Your room is so beautiful and cozy to. The photos of your grandkids will be the perfect finishing touches. ❤️

[@deborahwinter5018]

[@CJ21CJ]

Absolutely perfect! I wish I had the creative mind to do a room make over! You guys are quite the team! Love it all!

[@nancyjuliano9903]

Looks lovely. It came out beautiful, cozy, warm and elegant.

[@janwilliams6517]

Put tape on the cord behind the console table to hid cord. Tape it to the back of the console so it doesn’t droop. Pick your tape. Duct tape, painter’s tape.

[@vickisturgill4792]

Your basement is beautiful and very welcoming

[@debbierester295]

Everything looks beautiful! What a transformation! I too love blue and have it as my accent color along with all my neutrals!

[@kimberlypillman2983]

Girl, you have got spunk! It turned out gorgeous in your basement. At first I thought it was starting to look like a David’s Bridal but that lasted about a second. I love it!

[@sheliabowen7094]

I love the way everything looks. I like blue colors and one time I had everything blue In my house .Even My floor covering. Love you andJasonand love your hair All looks great🥰❤️😍

I recently moved and I have used the hair dryer trick so much. Thank you for that tip.

[@lajoyceneafus3021]

You did a terrific job. I like everything you changed. Thanks for sharing. See you next week.

[@susannobles3349]

It is so beautiful and welcoming! Great job! Consider recovering the bar stools in a blue or cream. Very easy to do. You can leave the wood tone on the bottom or paint them black, ❤️😘

[@sheilahackney6214]

Wow! Such a transformation! It is just Beautiful 💞👏🥰

[@jdowninghomes]

Leslie you basement makeover looks absolutely stunning!!! I think everything turned out so beautiful. Your style is georgios.

[@geraldineross5168]

Beautiful placement of your accessories, love your decorating style! ❤️

[@wandabagi2317]

Absolutely beautiful! Love the way you decorate!

[@JustIdeas000]

Love, love, love the arched window. I would hang it above the console table, to line up with the RH edge (that’s not symmetrical but it draws the eye up and creates a faux window which psychologically gives a sense of looking outside).

[@sah3181]

Yes

[@ACharmingAbode]

Hi! Thank you! The arched window didn’t fit above! It’s way to tall!

[@ashleybergstrom8934]

What fun to watch your decorating process! The transformation is so pretty! I could sit and watch them all day. I really appreciate the source list you provide. And I love how upbeat you are. Those lights from Ikea in the bookcase are so perfect! You sure have a God given talent.

[@treasureslayer3049]

Leslie those barstools would be so easy to cover the seats and paint the wood if your not liking that. Seems like they are really good quality. Great video

[@florencegarza4232]

Awesome job as usual 👍I love your choice of wall color, just perfect! All your decor fit just right. You are so talented and so blessed.👏 I am always impressed with your work.👍

[@RoseKrueger]

Wow. This looks so cozy. I love it

[@NinasHere4U]

Leslie, everything looks beautiful! I liked it before but now WOW it looks gorgeous 💙

[@joycetaggart3123]

Wow you really have a large basement space. It is so pretty now. I love the color scheme and the placement of your furniture and wall space. Enjoy! Joyce

[@chrisypollard9672]

Oh Leslie this is absolutely beautiful ❤ what a transformation .... I love it so much ! What a gift you have sweet lady , your vision of detail is amazing.

[@salimorton641]

My daughter in law sanded off the old finishes of the bar stools and it lightened them up and now they blend in so well with her style. Something maybe you could do.

[@gwenkaiser6836]

That’s the first time I saw Jason’s karate move! He is doing so well. Love watching your channel.

[@darlenesmith1858]

Your basement is beautiful and your design is wonderful. I love the 4 chairs and ottoman. You are so talented and such an encouragement to me. Thank you❤️

You did a FABULOUS job on the makeover Leslie!! I love your choice in design and the color is so pretty. Thank you for sharing.

I absolutely....LOVE that NEW Paint Color!!! That YELLOW 💫was outdated for sure!!! It looks so...much better!!! Thanks for sharing!!! Good job!!! 🙌👏🤚😊😁😀🥰👍

[@billsmith8339]

Back in the day, it seems a few builders would put a random vent in the wall to try to get rid of radon. I asked a similar question when I bought my home because it had a random pipe in a closet from the floor to the wall, and upon further investigation, had a box over the pipe on the outside - and it turned out to be radon mitigation. I guess my house had a kitchen type vent on the wall similar to yours before it was changed to put the fan in a box on the outside of the wall.
