It really seems to have worked in your favor to not be able to start the more permanent renovations right away. I'm enjoying this series so much and the apartment looks fantastic! Your guests will be super comfortable.

Wait is this an apartment and not house?? Where are they living

[@flowersafeheart]

Wow. The attention to detail. Gorgeous lamp upgrade. Taking into account if fabrics are washable and hold moisture. Rope. Freshening up the caulking. Picking which elements to keep. I learned how to do faux wood! Etc. You two are quite the team. I may do faux wood in the same part of my bathroom.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

You guys are a breath of fresh air for me today - thank you xx.

[@rebeccaude4412]

Loved the bedroom, was amazed by the kitchenette BUT, this bathroom transformation is absolutely STUNNING 🥰!! All three spaces have notes of individuality while still maintaining the cohesion you bring to every space. BRAVA 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻! Sending all three of you lots of hugs, love & prayers for a wonderful & blessed weekend 🤗💜🙏🏻!

[@samanthasurovec4639]

Mint chip icecream bedroom, vanilla with chocolate chip icecream kitchen, and almond with chocolate chip icecream bathroom. Delicious!

[@Emiroosky]

Joey is soo smartt!! Thank you for the idea if using the blue tape as markers for where you put the screws!! That’s brilliant!!! 🥳

[@StephALowry29]

I'm stealing that hack too since I have my own paintings that are hanging up in our house.

[@emcq11irish]

The whole guest house is so nice!!! Each room has a different personality/mood but they all relate like you were implementing those similar tones and details. I can't wait to start redoing my spaces in my house since moving back home this place needs a face-lift. I'm gonna take it upon myself.

[@Joliepinkyswear1]

This whole little apartment came out amazing. Love it all.

[@Brooksie603]

What a great space for friends or family to stay while visiting. You could even use it as an air B&B if you wanted to.

[@kellybell6442]

I absolutely love all these tips. I especially love how you've addressed how to make all the bathroom practicalities look chic, which is where I've always struggled. Adore the shower curtain idea & plant stand to hide the shelving! So inspirational xx

[@Amandashometours]

I love that at the end y’all put the other two decorated room in with this so you can really see how it all ties together. It looks fantastic as always great job both of you 👏🏼👏🏼💕

[@jennaviehernandez6940]

Clicked on the notification as soon as it came through! You guys inspired me with the last video of the kitchen upgrade and I’ve added adhesive backsplash and contact paper all over my kitchen as well lol

[@artsygal112]

I remember seeing those tricks in a different DIY video from a KZbin and I've been obsessed ever since then to do the same! Seeing Mr Kate do it, I'm even more tempted now

[@jennaviehernandez6940]

Joeys tape trick for hanging photos is the only way I hang any photo now 😂😂

[@virginiabrayton7362]

You both are so artistically gifted. What a lovely outcome to all your physical and creative work. ❤

[@AuburnElizabeth]

i was amazed by how the fake wood technique turned out! i'm definitely trying that!!

[@jeanvignes]

I must be an outlier on this point, but I prefer the look of "honest laminate" to faux bois (fake wood.) I'm a big fan of things looking exactly as what they are. To me the authenticity is a better look than the "I tried to dress it up to make it not look cheap" look. That always ends up looking more cheap to me, especially as it ages (flaking or chipped paint showing the laminate underneath.)

[@BhappyD]

@@jeanvignes I think it would have looked better with a lighter color of paint instead of the dark brown paint that was used for the “wood grain” effect. Additionally I also think it would look more believable if she had painted the wood grain on the top panel (the skinny strip of laminate directly above the cabinet doors) horizontally rather than vertically (which is how the grain is for most real wooden bathroom cabinets, with the doors having vertical wood grain and the wood above the doors having a horizontal wood grain).

[@iishilpisinhaii]

Wow although this space may seem minimalist it is so design forward!! Absolutely gorgeous, each and every space of this unit is simply beautiful ✨

[@kaitlin5264]

Yess to the baskets on the wall as shelves!! Baskets can literally be used for EVERYTHING🤩👌🏼

[@marjoriemcmillan982]

I’m so impressed by what you were able to do to improve this space so inexpensively! A few extra dollars for a second shower rod especially for the shower curtain would be a good addition to make it more practical.

[@alisondawnsmith]

LOVE that Kate corrected you on the "kill two birds with one stone". We always like to say "feed two birds with one scone" as a replacement, as we don't want to be killing any birds (or any animals) either! :)

[@HeyItsBonnieBee]

The faux wood paint BLEW my mind!

[@katmeankeys867]

Stunning makeover! But am I the only one who really liked the black detail tiles in the shower? It was very unique, and while yes a little dated, I think it wouldn’t have taken away from the updated style of the bathroom.

[@amandanorbutus8542]

The faux bois looks amazing, as does the sconce and rug! Congrats on another beautiful space.

[@nilakshiroy6]

Amazing Kate is all I can say ! This series is a different level altogether! With an eye on the budget and on making things beautiful, you surely add value to everything you touch. Loving it !

[@saradance3923]

It’s crazy how you take a drab space and make it look gorgeous

[@LydiaBisland]

That before and after is STUUNNNNNING!!

I can concur…. I am equally obsessed with how those glass lights turned out too!!!

[@terrirouleau4758]

I would rent that space in a minute. I love everything😍

[@kierstenknerl4650]

The tape on the frame is the best hack I’ve seen! So simple!

[@michellebailey6568]

Joey! The painters tape used to mark the screw holes is genius!! I have put sooo many extra holes in my walls because I didn't measure correctly. Problem solved. Thank you so much!

[@naaz9326]

Liked it before watching the whole video. Just finished the video. No regrets! 🙌🏽

[@faithm9284]

I really like the black border, it made the tan stand out and created the visual interest that wasn't there without it. I'm being open minded until the end!! 😍

[@siddhidamkondwar6221]

Still. That bdrm Joey did...the wall colour is so pretty and relaxing

Haven't been waiting for youtube videos to come out like this since I was 16!! This is so exiting

[@mariacasella6474]

I love how the bathroom turned out and the tips are awesome you gave us-I didn’t know it’s better to add canvas pics instead of glass pics and I am re doing both my bathrooms so this will help me a lot in choosing frames and the baskets over the toilet I really liked too-transiting the bathroom with the bedroom just flows so well-you guys are so awesome

[@caileystoeckl4427]

[@malinawins3688]

[@Holabella]

agreed to using real curtains in a gate-like display over a real mildew proof shower curtain. loved the wall mounted baskets and glass shade treatment. Great job thx for sharing!

[@LikeGlenCoco]

that fake wood technique is so cool!

[@c.c.quimby6757]

💚Fab as usual!! My thing with bathrooms though, which I feel is often lacking, are hooks/stand or dresser on which to hang or put a towel (something reachable from the shower) and the clothes you're getting into. In your room, the black metal stand would do for the clothes but what about the towel sitch?

[@sandratompkins6950]

Love your style .Love how you style without clutter so clean and fresh awesome I am a senior citizen grew up in the sixties and love the simple refreshing way you decorate.

You always put a lot of decor and ornamental peices in your spaces but I always struggle with cleaning when there is so many items. Would be cool if you could do a video of how to keep the space looking nice once it's finished and tips in how to keep ornaments dust free etc.

[@lovelylune3]

I’m so excited to see the finished house look! This project is coming along amazing!

[@MeganBecnel]

We had those tubs in my dorm in college. I took many a sit bath in one. Nostalgia. Especially when you talked about Joey's bunk. My Kev and I snuggled in similiar way.

[@ERYN__]

I did a black and white paint pour using different finishes of black paint. I did stir one a little in a separate cup as part of one layer so it had extra marbling

[@anabellabastidas693]

I love love love! Just like with everything that you guys do, I always finish a video feeling inspired and ready to be a creative weirdo.

[@donnabenson1436]

Loved this small bathroom 🚽 makeover, so many helpful tips.... Thank you Joey & Kate hugs from Donna and family xx from across the pond here in Liverpool UK 🇬🇧 💕 🏡

[@kimberblueyes3638]

I am in the middle of renovating my bathroom and while I am changing out the vanity and the tub and the surround I can see so many things I can take from your project and apply to my projects. I like what you did with the light fixture globes and I love the way you took ordinary shower curtain and designed it so it adds a little bit of more flair to the tub area. I also love love love the basket/shelf that you created. You guys are so Smart with your choices and you have inspired me!

[@marianamunoz6075]

I just love you guys together!!! Such a cute couple! Beautiful family!!! 🥰 Love your videos, tips, advice & creativity ♥️ 🙏

[@stacybroussard3097]

I Absolutely Love everything that you did with the bathroom, however I would have taken the bedroom color (Which is Gorgeous) and painted the bathroom in that color... It would tie into the shower tile and look absolutely Amazing with the light fixtures, baskets and wood accents 🤩🤩🤩

[@maggie_sugarxo]

My grandma used to have such small "tub", back in the day atleast in Bulgaria they were the only one available that were accessible by the average person + sitting after a long day of work and have your feet relax while showering. I don't think she ever said she tried to soak in, but remember her saying they were handy with the kids 😂 omg im gonna change our mouthwash bottle tomorrow!

[@maurawhelan3530]

Like an Asian soaking tub…

[@bethdavisjimenez]

Yeah, we had one too and when we bought the house I remember the realtor calling it a "French Tub" I swear no more than maybe 3 inch of water could fit it.

[@siannn]

About the mouthwash, if your bottle is not clear it's probably because the solution becomes less effective when light can get to it. I'm not a dentist or anything but it was a trend a while ago and I saw alot of dentists say it was a terrible idea (if you re-bottle it to something not clear then there's obviously no issue)

[@KMF3]

Wow that faux wood looks amazing it looks so real
