I absolutely LOVE that headboard.. and I think you did a fantastic job!!! ----> HOWEVER: as someone who spends 12+ hours a day at a computer, it's awful watching you remove ERGONOMIC chairs (that are good for the health if you have to sit a lot) with chairs that are good for people who only sit at their computer for 20 mins at a time. It's unrealistic and ergonomics should never be messed with.
@sandieedward82142 жыл бұрын
Well Really, that new chair can also sear customers and the ergo one will also work if needed for long hours as she introduced enough black in the room to make it work !!! All in All, total Outcome is Marvelously done and thought out Perfectly... As one who needs ergo office chairs and am into decorating as well I Give this A Total A+++ Think she even thought about the extra ero Chair but for the reveal it needed cemetry & even in a Studio redo extra chairs are always needed when entertaining.. 👍👍👍👍 Great Job 🎯🎯💯✔️🥰
@kb98472 жыл бұрын
I think she will go back to her black chair, I thought the same thing too. What's nice is when there are people over she can use the new chair and put the black one in the closet or use it too depending on how many people are over. The new chair really helped stage the place though.

This is one of my FAV studio fixes!! Super cozy and very finished. The large size art pieces and rug are a good scale for the space. The curtains are really elegant. Love that you gave her so much extra storage. As a plant lover, I'm glad that you got a faux fiddle leaf fig considering it would not have gotten enough light where it was placed.
@patriciaharding74682 жыл бұрын
Sadly, as much as I hate faux plants and adore a fiddle leaf fig they ARE indeed finicky about their light and water and it is so nice to have a touch of beautiful greenery in the room. There ARE times to make an exception to one's preferences. The faux fig is perfect there and really adds a lot! Just like the wall color. White would not have looked as cozy and inviting as that yellow shade of beige (maize?) does. The result is stunning!

@mael20392 жыл бұрын
it's so good to see you not just work around the beige but work with it. It's so challenging especially when it's not at all a wall colour you'd gravitate towards if you had the choice. It isn't a colour that I personally love, but I love what you did with it, I really do. I honestly think it wouldn't look as good with cold white walls. I think the only way to truly be happy with renter beige like that is if you embrace it when choosing the rest of what has to go with it. If you just ignore it and pretend it isn't they're, it will always look out of place instead of something that actually looks good and cohesive. And you absolutely nailed that.

Well to you all who hate beige, I have a beige kitchen in one of my rentals. It's more like vanilla actually. It came with the fake light wood formica countertops. So I painted the cabinets moss green. I put in like this tan grass cloth type wallpaper as backsplash. And a couple times I styled it up, I used dark apple red accents, like red cotton rugs and dishcloths. Also some red and white checkerboard stuff too. With accent lighting on, it looks very cozy there. Like warm and gold.

Also a couple of stacking occasional chairs for when friends come over. And that tiny wall shelf next to the bed is decorative, but I think a thin profile console table could have been nice behind the sofa which could also act as a bedside shelf. And the fact that the radiator was forgotten is a fail. Overall very warm and calming vibes.
