[@YoungLadyBusiness]

Hi friends! Thank you for being here! Please don't forget to like the video & comment! It really helps with my channel so so so much! ♥

[@lindamargolies7759]

Maybe turn desk around, and place chair against wall.....u need to face out...looks great

[@carolynhulin4311]

Hey Kayla could You tell me what You used on the desk to bring the wood back to its natural shine 💜

[@Jennie-wm3qj]

Excellent job per usual. Team work makes the dream work. Enjoy!!!! 👍🏼

[@queenscott4572]

Hi Kayla My vision on the lampshade can be some crystal hanging garland with pendants on the end. to match the ceiling light . Everything turned out great , Continued Success !!

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

@@carolynhulin4311 it’s called restore a finish

[@shannabrown3892]

Mom definitely deserves a handclap for the stitching of the chair and the curtains 👏🏾

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

Yasss! Go mama👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@lacylifestyle]

I'm not sure if you are going to place the decks facing that brick wall but if it was me I would turn the desk around letting the brick wall be my background that would be so dope

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

Yea, we are gonna leave it like this 🥰 That would be ideal but now that we have French doors, the desk would block them from opening! Plus Marcus doesn’t care about looking at the front yard. When the desk was outward facing before he never opened the blinds 🤷🏾‍♀️ lol

[@cherylnewton3593]

Nice room😍. I would personally change desk location, change out curtains and splurge on a new lamp shade. But all in all Good job✨

[@yolandadowns]

Awww Kayla & Marcus once again you guys have done a fabulous job! I would definitely get a rug runner, those floors are too beautiful to cover. The original blueprints would be nice on the brick wall. Thank you for sharing your remodeling with us.

[@loserplanet]

​@@YoungLadyBusiness Can it be angled?

[@IN-D-YHN]

Yaaas, why face a Brick Wall!

[@yvettegoffney1794]

Love the reno of the office. But can I suggest you move that beautiful antique desk to the center of the room and turn it around, so you can look out into the yard. The blue prints would look good in black & white framed art work.

[@namhlatetyana7737]

I was thinking the same too Beautiful project and I love the fact that you did this by yourself

[@designed2bmumscarmichael582]

She said Marcus doesn’t want too

[@APreciousNetwork]

I was thinking this too. Needs a smaller chair and a nice rug... But it should be the center peice

[@thelmagraham5544]

Great job on the office. I love it! I love how you and Marcus work together like a well oiled machine.

[@alyceacollins]

I think redo the blueprints in a different color ! I love the idea of hanging the blue prints in your office such an awesome homage to the home 🫶🏽🩵

[@ladyt5250]

Beautiful! I suggest: 1. Turn the desk around so that the brick wall is behind you. 2.The rug under the desk 3. The blueprint as a black and white copy in a nice frame would be a wonderful touch.

[@bernfran1313]

Yes, that is a lovely comfortable looking chair.

[@NatashaThompson]

That window bench is everything!!!!!!!!!!! More space for holiday pillow decor ! 🥰

[@angelathorpe1611]

I’ve never had a partner willing to help me do a lamp like that. How special.

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

🥰🥰🥰

[@rreeves4770]

You have to admire the tenacity of you and hubby with that lampshade do over. The office makeover is very tasteful and the decorations on the bookshelves are impeccable. The lampshade would look fancy with an elaborate tassel at the top and/or bottom. Good job!

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

Aww thank you love 🥰🥰

[@mrspatriciasteele]

The chair is seriously beautiful ❤go, Mom!

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

My favorite part 🥰🥰🥰

[@mrspatriciasteele]

@@YoungLadyBusiness be so proud! Also, those blueprints! Beyond special. What a blessing to have. God has blessed you guys with a house to make a home and you truly have.

[@lhh1084]

I love it!!!..I now get the black lampshade...the black color helps your eye to travel around the room and not rest in one spot...also the blueprint would be awesome above the desk!! You are truly blessed to have such talented/gifted family members to help out...looking forward to the next video!!!

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

Yaaaay! That makes me so happy to hear 🥰 thank you!

[@vondadrinkard9949]

Your mom did a fantastic job sewing the chair. You and Marcus are an unstoppable team! The office is stunning!!!💕💕💕

[@clarapeters6583]

The office came out beautiful. It would be nice to frame the blueprints and hang on the bricks. A rug will also bring the room together. Your mother did that with the chair, amazing. As always you and Marcus did your thang and brought your vision to life. Congratulations on another beautiful project.

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

Yes!! Still on the hunt for a rug 😍

[@tiphneywaldon6748]

I love how you and your family worked together on this project. As for the wall, I’d put the blueprint up and leave it blue or nothing at all. I’m sure you’ll make the right decision for you and Marcus to most enjoy your home.

[@pennihairston4907]

Your mom did a fabulous job on the chairs by stitching them. Your office looks FABULOUS 👌 🎉. I'm catching up on your videos while I'm on the road with my husband. I just love your content. 😊

[@vickiemciver718]

Kayla and Marcus the room looks absolutely beautiful. At first, if the room was so dreary and dark now it’s so bright and beautiful.. love love love it.🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷

[@danielleb5554]

I think a rug would make it super cozy!

[@veronicagoodridge4625]

I love how you both interact with each other. Marcus is very talented and you have some great ideas. Keep aiming for the stars. The makeover to your office is awesome.

[@kaylagarner2895]

Love the black shade! The chair is beautiful. The whole room is so inviting, bright, and done so well.

[@lisadawson2652]

Team work is a lovely thing everyone had an important part and boy does it show does Marcus find the desk to be functional I hope so 👍🏾

[@TippyKira]

The office looks beautiful. ❤ The best part is how you two DIY and find items to give new life to.

[@sharonbrown7806]

Fantastic work in the office! I’d put the desk in the middle of the floor facing the yard! Also the blueprints would look great on that empty wall! I think a rug just under the desk to add a cozy spot!! Love the bookcase and the window seating is AMAZING! I would add a few pillows with all the colors to tie in the whole room! Love French doors! I agree with you the curtains don’t work! But overall I love the space! Your entire house is beautiful and so unique to y’all’s taste!!! Enjoy!!!

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

🥰 The middle wouldn’t work, he has to plug in his monitor and having the cords travelling from his wall to the middle of the room would be an eyesore and block the doors. Thank you boo!

[@aubriemckoy793]

Definitely agree that the curtains are pulling pink. Dying them would be great. And a runner would pull everything in the room together.

[@TeeNan-rw5nv]

Yes! Frame the blue print and put it up over the desk❤Office came out gorgeous!❤❤

[@chrisyjay77]

Yes allow mom to assist with the lampshade and the blueprints would look great over that beautiful desk ❤❤

[@victoria_luv]

Great taste, coupled with a great imagination, doesn’t require a lot of money in order to live well. Awesome job Kayla and Marcus… so proud of you two 💕💕💕

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@paulinesmith61]

Wow…absolutely beautiful!! Kayla you and your husband did an amazing job on the office remodel.💯 Mom did great work too.😊❤

[@averycook839]

It’s such a pretty room it’s just so white! I think a sage green would be so pretty for the walls and keep the brick how it is.

[@invalidgirl]

You should use a cool Edison naked bulb for lamp. Or find a more vintage / stained glass lamp shade .

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

Hiii! We put an Edison bulb in but I haven’t seen a naked one! Im gonna look that up! I think the lamp shade is vintage enough 🥰 it’s so unique

[@ashlieelle4407]

@@YoungLadyBusiness Kayla unfortunately we can’t really appreciate the vintage lamp because of the black cloth covering it. Your eye is automatically drawn there. I too love your styling of the built in. Also, you need a little black on the window side of the room to pull it all together. Completely cover your bench with different styles of pillows with and a throw added in with touches of black throughout the pattern. I hear Marcus not caring about facing the brick wall. It would be nice to get a large rug and center the desk like someone previously said. But as you said, it would hinder the flow of traffic through the room. Black and white blue prints would be a really nice touch. Make sure you use more than one. There’s a company out there where you can send them a picture and they can blow it up as large as you’d like. Another great job Kayla and Marcus. 👍🏾👍🏾

[@decoravecgaelle]

The brick wall would be a dope back wall and have desk facing the other way Love it you guys did an amazing job !

[@julielefevre4184]

This is a beautiful room. The power of paint! The chair and curtains look awesome. Your mom is a talented seamstress. I think you should have her take a look at the lamp shade. She may be able to tweak it.

[@TheLazyHOAGardener]

The office turned out Amazing. Trial and error is a great way to learn new skills. 👌 Straight pins would have been a huge help with the lamp shade project. Please ensure that the fabric used is flame retardant as some bulbs can generate enough heat to spark a fire. If Marcus actually works all day at the desk, a mirror on the brick would be a great addition to get a view of the outdoors and break the boredom of the workday. The chair is amazing and looks comfy and scotchgaurd is a great addition.

[@angelabowman1614]

Those blueprints are nice..... definitely frame them and put on the blank white brick wall. The walnut frames are sharp..... The blue would be another pop of color......or black and white in the wood frames. Your Mom really did some great sewing.....the curtains (I agree, bleach or dye them would be great) the chair doesn't look hand sewn, Mom did a spectacular job on it........the dest looks great.....the lamp, looks good, maybe add some black ribbon trim? Top, bottom and at each side where it dips? You all did a fabulous job! 😊👍🏻

[@kayriggleman5196]

Sure looks better. Y'all did an awesome job. Your mom's stitching looks impeccable. Painting the wood was a good idea. That desk is beautiful!

[@crystaljames-owensiii4430]

You, Marcus, and your Mom did such a phenomenal job! I love how well you work together. The office is stunning! Suggestions: I would hang some crystals from the lamp to match the chandelier. Perhaps the one that came with the lamp. I would also add a rug with a rubber backing to go under the chair.

[@rozetiamomoh2044]

Love the room. My favorite part was the hanging of the degrees. I think it would be a good idea to place felt rounds under the legs of the desk and a clear chair mat -- both will protect that beautiful floor. One other thing, the desk would be so wonderful facing the window - with the wall as the backdrop. 💕💚

[@tatianamadison937]

What a beautiful makeover....I love your creativity. The whitewashed brick makes it look like a completely new space. I love how you are not afraid to give the brick a face lift. And the lighter colors makes the room seem bigger. I could listen to you and watch your renovation videos all day!

[@aprildcontent]

Hi Kayla! Love the way the office came out. I think your idea with the blueprints is such a unique touch. I’d choose the blueprints that show the exterior of your home in your entryway and then add each of the other blueprints throughout your home in the common areas and maybe in a guest room. I also like just the brick alone so I know it’s a tough decision but go with your gut and it’ll be fine. I think you should bleach the curtains or if you decide to go with a dark color like gray it could really make that area pop. No rug no problem! The floors are beautiful!!!

[@Shelbysanzguerrero]

Framing your diplomas to hang in the home that you’ve worked so hard to purchase and renovate had to be the absolute best feeling!

[@IN-D-YHN]

Beautiful! and get some wood conditioner for your desk drawers!!!cause Hope and Prey will benefit you NADA!!!!!!

[@yvettegoodlow6081]

Beautiful office space, I like the idea of the brick wall being behind the desk/desk facing the window. Also remember to protect your flooring with a mat, those rollers on the chair will destroy your floor

[@ziapaige5751]

Having the Blueprint is UUUUUHMAAAAZING!!! LOVE the idea of having it up in your home. Entry way was my first thought before you showed the office as an option. I think its a cool conversation piece for your guests. Not many will see it in your office. The office turned out beautifully!

[@mikki273]

I think you did a great job in decorating this space. I also love the idea of hanging the blueprints of the house on that wall. I love your content!!!

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

Thank you boo! 🥰

[@mariansims2749]

Love the idea of the blueprints on the brick wall. I would leave them blue, just to give the room a POP of color. IMHO I'm glad you changed the knows on the cabinet doors. It looks beautiful. Congratulations on another successful project.

[@butterflydustdezignz]

That natural light is gorgeous 😍 the blueprint, beautiful piece of history for your home 🏡

[@fundamental1020]

Gosh this office is so cute, perfect and a win for the long amount of time you and Marcus spent changing it. ❤

[@Taangela]

I would dye the curtains, redo the lampshade and i love the idea of the blueprints being displayed.

[@Lisa-qh6em]

Love the way the brick turned out, the styling of the shelf’s is exquisite, the table is beautiful with all the detail. The bench stunning. Great job!!😊

[@demarisalexander1813]

Hi Kayla. CONGRATULATIONS on another successful renovation project. 😍👍🏻 You and Marcus are a good D.I.Y. team. I love the way y'all work together as a TEAM. TEAMWORK makes the dream work. 😍 Your Mom ROCKS!! She is an AMAZING seamstress. The sewing she did on the chair is BEYOND top notch. I like the bench pillow also. What am I saying??? 🙄🤔 The room as a whole looks so good and inviting. It is definitely a vibe. 😍👍🏻 Thanks for sharing. 💜 Take care. Much love. 💜🙏🏽💜🙏🏽

[@lornaromney6822]

The architectural drawings would be perfect in a black and white. They are beautiful.❤️ in front of the built in seat maybe a small table as a resting place for a drink or snack and I think like your Mom a runner would be perfect . Great work you and Marcus work so well together.

[@SC-gs1xr]

I love the idea of hanging the blueprints on the wall😊

[@CedarGrovesFinest]

You guys did a stunning job Kayla!❤ Please give us a night time view of the room with the lamp on, that would be so nice. Yesss....change the curtains, they are definitely looking a bit peach or pinkish... Overall, you guys did that!! Love it!

[@lottiekenney636]

Kayla You and hubby did a fantastic job with the office!❤👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@claricewright7340]

Great job Kayla,Marcus and Kayla’s mom! Your office is so bright and airy. I love the lamp the desk and the brick wall! As someone else mentioned your desk positioned with the brick wall behind you would be lovely!

[@cherylmarch8995]

Looks very nice. A rug or runner would look great. I like the black lamp.❤ Placing the blueprint in the office is a good idea.

[@michellebarnett4994]

I love love love the plans for the house. Definitely hang some of those on the whitewashed wall,!!

[@MadameBleu]

Omg! Having the blueprints is awesome! I would literally love that!

[@cassandra2685]

❤Love ❤Love❤ Love ❤the way everything turned out ‼️ Soooo dreamy ❤ Im not gonna lie, I loved the original lamp shade. I was envisioning the desk in the center of the room with the vintagy lamp next to it playfully and floating in the middle of the room BUT The new lamp shade version turned out pretty & moody. LOVE EVERYTHING YOU GUYS ROCK ‼️💯 Edit- yes bleach the curtains as you mom worked hard trimming them ❤ The curtains look perfect ✔️ Yesssss frame the blue prints of your home, THAT will make your office a million times more special ❤🎉

[@shawneeg429]

Love it…was hoping to see the desk in the center of the room. It’s too pretty to be tucked away.

[@uniquenessmocha1180]

❤❤👍🏽👍🏽

[@tmcurry7742]

❤❤ Good job! The blueprints as they are would pop as is . The blue would tie into the book on the shelf. Colorful just like you!😊

[@KKitaM]

DEFINITELY POST THE BLUE PRINTS IN THE OFFICE. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!

[@lindathomas8375]

The bench curtain and pillows looks perfect to me❤❤

[@gloriamathews6452]

Another great job on your home project. I just love how the office turned out. I love the team work of you, hubby (and mom on this one).❤❤❤❤

[@musicalvibes08]

CONGRATS on another space!!! I would definitely love to see a green accent color or more green plants in the space. Definitely would love to see the green from the bedroom in there - painted ceilings are definitely a vintage look (google green ceiling) or even the back wall of the bookcase. Seeing the blueprints, a mantel would look cute above the desk and print it in green. Hmmm ... lol

[@tonyamontgomery2733]

Love the black against the neutrals. Add a black lumbar pillow and a runner with black accents.

[@shadowess1961]

I like how the room turned out even though I still think it's a white box lol, however, the lamp, maybe a black not as dense linen fabric would work better and allow more light. That desk is gorgeous but painting it black with brass rubbed handles would elevate it. You guys always do a great job so job well done! Love the blueprint idea!

[@BrookeDoesScience]

I like the blank lampshade and I also like that the curtains are a bit blush. It gives a very small hint of color and it’s beautiful

[@LaDonnaLove8]

I agree with you, the black lamp is a vibe!

[@tiffanyspencer2782]

You & Marcus are fantastic! They're a great team. I always love your music.

[@lauradobbs613]

A mirror on the brick wall would bring more light in and look fab, office is beautiful.

[@gasweetie83]

I agree with quite a few people on turning the desk toward the window. Let that desk shine! The size of the rug is fine to me. Allows you to showcase more of the floor also. You worked hard on that too.

[@lydiamitchell6814]

Black frame, keep blueprint blue. Maybe add some pillows with a touch of that blue color. Maybe trimmed in the blue color. I love the blueprint! Can you get clear plexiglass and hang all blueprints on hinge of some sort… that will let it open when needed to see all 3 blueprints. Like a wall book. But clicks to the wall. Does they make sense? 😊 Maybe an oval braided runner! I love this room!!!! 😊💖

[@chamirose]

Looks great! I would add a nice medium size wrought iron filigree piece on the wall over the desk and the floor plan would be awesome in the entry way 🥰.

[@ShesRondaMarie]

Hello 👋🏾 I like that black lamp shade, I agree with the curtain color change, floor prints in black and white would be nice.

[@DawnietotheMax]

I like the idea of putting the old blueprints on the wall. Possibly an eggshell (or lighter) background with black pictures

[@Mindof_mia]

Kayla I’m loving the new office!! It looks amazing when you show the before and after pic it’s like how is that even the same room!! That chair is amazing too. Your mom is the goat for that one. So neat and precise. I also love the idea of the house plans. That is like a cool relic!! I love that you guys have that!!

[@KenyaG.]

It turned out beautifully! 😍 I agree with a few other comments about moving the desk to the middle of the room...as a focal point! And on a cute area rug. And a bankers desk lamp would look super nice on the desk!

[@sherrybrown8608]

Here for the office decorating portion!!! Better Homes and Gardens need to feature your home!! Displaying the plans for the house is such a great idea, I think they would look nice in the hallway.

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

Yay! Thank you!!

[@apriltillman8283]

Wonderful job, I think the blueprints will look great above the desk and I would leave them in the blue color. It ties in with the books on the bookshelf.

[@nubeginings09]

I think you guys did a great job with the office. I think you should add some carmel faux leather pillows to the window seat to bring out the beautiful color of the cushion fabric. I also agree with adding the blue prints to the wall over the desk but leave it its original blue color with a black frame. It will look beautiful. The runner in front of the window seat is a great idea. Changing the curtains is a good idea too. Again, I would love to see a pop of carmel added to the space in the curtains (or window shades) as well. And last but not least, the lamp shade is a “no” in my opinion. I personally think the scale of it doesn’t fit the space well. Love you guys and keep up the great work!!

[@rocinagore8226]

Amazing ! Hey Kayla and Marcus it just awesome to see the way you both work together so passionate, executing all the projects in your home 😂kayla I'm so proud of you. I've been with you from day one in your old apartment and looking for your dream home witch you and I know that the journey was time consuming and so hard but you never give up inspite of the challenges you encounter you just kept going and now looking back it was so worth all the sacrifice and patience you displayed I love you so much and keep doing what you do because you're a winner and I love and enjoy looking at all your renovation that you've done to create a beautiful and comfortable space in every room in it's very own unique way. So just stay focus you have come such a long way take care now I would love to say so much more and even meet with you and Marcus one day .❤

[@AngelasTravelAdventures]

I love the blue prints! That is so cool how good the condition of them are. I love the idea of framing it.

[@tewgoodygraphics732]

It's gorgeous!!! Wonderful job! I love the framed blueprints idea. I think it will Pull some of the blue accents out. Also I agree more pillows would be great. Maybe some with black to further carry it around the room.

[@MsScrumptious2006]

I would hang up the Blueprints as is with beautiful frames. A metal plate for heater vent cover. ❤ Looks fantastic 🥰 Great job✨️ *TheScrumptiousFamily*

[@jmdallas2004]

It looks so goooood!!! Your mom's hand stitching is *chefs kiss* If you are going to use Rit dye, be sure to get the one for the correct textile. Using the all-purpose on a synthetic fabric does not take, and you'll need to keep processing it. Having the original Floorplan is so nice!

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

Oo! Thank you for the tip! 🥰😊

[@peachifluidacrylicartdesig2336]

I love the blueprints. I would put up at least 2 of not all 3 somehow. That's a conversation piece for sure.

[@blakladyapril]

First off, hats off to You & Marcus!!! You guys did an awesome job. Since you have the desk facing the wall, I would place a mirror over the desk to help enlarge the room & give a visual entrance. And I definitely agree a runner would look really nice. I love wood floors.

[@debrawilliams2781]

The room,looks Great, an adjustment to the Lamp shade is needed iespecially in comparison to the chair size. I really Appreciate and Enjoy watching Yall. God Bless❤❤❤❤❤

[@feliciacrosby9657]

Kayla, you and Marcus did an awesome job! Have you considered replacing the curtains with faux vertical blinds? It will control the natural sunlight and it’ll make the entire room pop! Just a suggestion. The layout of the house would look nice on the brick wall in blue or black and white. Love & Blessings to the both of you.

[@queeny8510]

Your mom needs to do this for a living! That chair and curtains look beyond amazing!!!! I would turn the desks around to have the brick wall behind the chair but everything is beautiful! You two just do the most beautiful things

[@jacquelinejenkins8]

Hello guys the office is so beautiful what a great transformation. I LOVE the colors it's so bright and airy. If the shade don't work out you can purchase one as well.Take care LOVE Y'all. Your mother has a lot of talent as well.

[@lynettareese9885]

The office is really nice!! Great job!! The blue prints on the brick wall would add a nice pop. I would hang them up just as they are; no copy the original plans.

[@mhar9625]

That is not the same room, great job! I love it. The lamp shade looks great.

[@lisahawkins9187]

House design from 1955 when house was built what a treasure to have. The lamp is so adorable, a mesh shade would be adorable. The brick wall could use an image of the plan layout. Maybe place desk opposite the glass double doors

[@shawnaharris9813]

I love your office makeover! It is beautiful! I think you should put some darker candles on the shelf so they will stand out more. I’m sure your mom will do a great job on your lamp,she is very talented and she did a wonderful job on the chair!❤

[@discoverwithdebra6038]

Wowwwwww!!!!!! Yall did that !!!!!! Absolutely gorgeous

[@IrmaDiaz-h1l]

I gave Marcus credit for his great ideas and along with his works he participated in such a great help .your office turns out wonderful another piece of great section of your home it's awesome ❤❤❤it thanks for sharing your amazing video.

[@waterlily01109]

Love the architecture plans and absolutely above the desk maybe in sepia and framed.

[@arielle3677]

I love the wall color. It's so creamy and warm. The room came out so nice. I like the black shade, BUT... I highly recommend you use that plaid fabric you bought. I would do at least one pillow and that lamp shade in the plaid fabric. I feel like it would set off the character in the room
