I love how realistic this makeover is: it's taking months of research and purchases (as it should be) and it's not an instant makeover as you see too often. I really love your last thrifted frame (the roses on the wood frame), it's maybe one of the star of the gallery wall.

Your guests may never want to leave!

This is the most realistic make over of a room I’ve seen regards the time it can take and how other things in life take over, patience is always rewarded, the room is absolutely lovely and screams ‘Janelle’s style’ 💕

What a warm and welcoming space! And I really love how much was thrifted and hand made. So much intention and thought was put into each aspect. I love staying in people's homes where the guest room has those personal touches.

That is THE coziest space! Love that all your planning and hard work came together to create such a lovely place for your guests to relax. (Downside: they won't want to leave!)

Beautiful work. I don't share your particular taste in colours, but I do so much appreciate seeing your process and seeing someone pursuing a sense of individual design. Head and shoulders above the grey minimalism of the last decade. I like the way the elements of the room speak to each other. I think putting in the effort to pleat the curtains was well worth it. The room looks elegant, but in an easy, warm way.

I loved the slow unfolding of this gorgeous room with such gorgeous colours . I love the curtains, they made such a difference ❤❤

So glad you chose the lighter color, and that you're leaving the lovely wooden trim as is. They look amazing together! :) It's very cozy. When you mentioned hanging out there, I immediately thought of a little upholstered chair in the corner!

So fantastic. You're very talented. You definitely did NOT waste your time with the track of education you pursued! The only suggestion I have, and there literally is only one, is that you put an antique luggage holder/rack (bamboo, rattan??), since it doesn't appear that the room has a closet. That way your guests have somewhere to put their luggage and also use it as storage. But when no one is staying with you, it could add a nice touch to the room.

This is stunning. It is such a labour of love. Your interiors are sustainable, handmade and reflect own personal style.

The room turned out so nice! I love the DIY things you made. I love sewing. I'm so happy for you and your husband. Home ownership is a game changer. Happy sewing!

This is so inspirational on many levels Janelle! I will be moving in our own home next spring and already moodboarding for each room❤❤

You could still add the white airy curtains behind the velvet panels to soften the look at the window and camoflage the wall behind the short high window. It would look very finished and sweet.

That paint takes me back to the 80s in a good way - lots of peach tones, floral prints - Laura Ashley vibes. My mum painted a couple of rooms in our house a similar colour - including the ceiling. I love the curtains you chose, they tie in well with the cushions and door and window trims. You’ve brought the good parts of 1980s decor but totally updated that look. I love it!

You did a wonderful job Janelle. Your guest room looks so warm and welcoming. Your guests will love staying with you.

Very attractive, Janelle. And the gallery wall makes it come alive - things on the wall always make a big difference.

This is such an inspiring and motivating process! It surely takes time and it's a good reminder. This space is so cosy.

It’s just beautiful and nearly the exact colour I had in my bedroom (my Mum painted it) in 1978…..I loved that bedroom ❤❤

The room is gorgeous.It is so stylish yet homely and inviting.Any guest will feel so happy to stay in this special room.You can see how much of yourself you have put into making this a place to relax.You have managed to source such a collection of items that match.I love it.

A space to be proud of! And the intention behind it, to have a space for loved ones to be able to visit, imbues the whole space from the start with welcoming coziness. Lovely all around.

SO lovely!! was hoping you'd you chose the lightest shade, and it came out so dreamy! The quilt, the thrifted/DIY gallery wall, that's how my grandma would've approached this process and it was so cozy to watch you thoughtfully craft this beautiful room.

Wow thanks for sharing the creative process’s! It’s adorable!🧡 Suggestion: have you tried the mirror on the other wall across from the big window? It might give the illusion of another window in the reflection & bounce off even more sunlight!🪞☀️

So fun! You have such a lovely style. Side note in the event this is something you wish to explore, in the US, I can ask my hardware or paint store folks to just desaturate a color I like. So say that darkest color you chose could be requested at 50% of that value to lighten it up a bit. Not sure that's a universal thing.... but wanted to share in case that was of interest to you in the future! You certainly found a good balance with your colors without that! ❤

I like the color! In my first house, my living room was about the color of the darkest peach color you had sampled. Keep in mind you can always do an accent wall in a darker peach, or even a different complimentary color. I know it's a dine deal now and if you have a degree in this design you probably already know... 😁 Anyway, so much fun having your own place to decorate as you please! Cheers!

Lovely job, doll! Glad you splurged on the mirror. It's a piece you'll cherish for decades. Very nice space!

Beautiful work Janelle. Definitely reflects your style beautifully. Looking forward to what is in store next for your home.

It looks so comfortable and it has your personality all over it. 🥰❤

Great job ,the room now feels so cosy and it's so cute

The butterfly is beautiful.

Love this realistic project. Was good to see the process and the result is lovely. Regards from Cape Town South Africa

You did a great job! Everything looks so cohesive and cosy :) I think my favourite details are the handmade quilt and the velvet curtains

Beautiful cozy room. It looks so warm and welcoming! Excellent job! 🪡🧵👗🥰

I love everything! The lamp really is perfect for the room. There are two things that I would add that, for me, would make it look more finished. I think the space between the window and the headboard would look great with an oblong frame of a vintage picture or another piece of your beautiful needlework. Also, I think the bed needs a bed skirt. I like the idea of a gathered bed skirt in a tiny floral print that would coordinate with your curtains or your lovely quilt. A bed skirt would "beef up" the bed frame and make it look more substantial. I would have never thought about using your color palette, but, honestly, it's beautiful! I love the curtains! Paint the face of the curtain rod or cover it in a wood-look contact paper to make it blend in better with the window trim. Great job!!!

The curtains go so well with the room, I love it. What a cosy guest room! 🧡

It's such a beautiful space! 😍 The wall colour choice is perfect. The quilt is glorious. The curtains add a touch of luxury. The wavy accessories are lovely. And the gallery wall is the icing on the cake! All perfectly harmonious, calming and inviting. In a word: perfect!

Ohhh, I've been hanging out to see your guestroom makeover and you certainly haven't disappointed. It's absolutely gorgeous, Janelle! Everything look so perfect!! Thank you for sharing it with us. Now I'm really looking forward to you doing a new pattern from your Japanese pattern books! I went and bought some from Etsy and I'm so excited to see you do another. They are such beautiful books and patterns! 🥰 Xxx

Beautiful room. You accomplished your goals in such a lovely way😊

I can definitely see the janelle/ rosary colours there and it looks lovely..that said I actually liked the green walls but not the curtains… the lamp suits the space beautifully…

That black fabric floral is gorgeous and so is your butterfly... They'd be neat together maybe... 🤷🏼. $50 a meter...😱. But dang that would make a beautiful long dress. I sewed up my first pansy dress. Fully lined... It was way too big..😆😆. So I've torn it apart (with the seam ripper(, and prepared a smaller pattern and I'll make a sample first this time..heh. At least too big I can reuse most of the pieces. And I did such a nice job.

Love the finished room - definitely looks cosy and chic.

Sewing the Clover pattern as I watch this :) Enjoying the pattern as much as the video!! Thanks for sharing!! 🧡

Absolutely lovely! Your vision became your reality, so happy for you.

It looks very welcoming for any guests. Well done

Wow it's a stunning make over. Really love it, well done Janelle. ❤

Love how it turned out. I think the gallery wall is my favourite part :)

You are a genuinely lovely person. Your guest room project is amazing.

Beautiful colour choice for the walls and ceiling. It all looks very calm and relaxing

Lovely & cozy looking.

Gorgeous! So cozy! Love the colors!❤❤

Lovely! I want to visit,shop and sew with you! Who watching doesn’t really? Great content and videos always Janelle, thank you❤

Your room looks so lovely Janelle! 💜

Love it! Now I'm inspired to redo my bedroom! Thanks Janelle!

So lovely, and yes I’m the sub that comments all the way along so I don’t forget to say what I want to say. Love the turn out!!!

I have never heard of pencil pleat curtains before... despite owning several sets with that type of backing. I've just always used them like pocket curtains! Beautiful room and I learned something new 😂

Beautiful room! I really like what you did with the space💖

A gorgeous space, Janelle! Love the wavies! This video makes me want to transform a lot of my spaces. Slowly things happen, but they are worth the wait.

What a satisfying decorating journey! I love the final result! Well done, Janelle!

Just delightful 🌸

You are so clever Janelle, I love watching all your videos. Thankyou for sharing ❤

Lovely end result. I like the colors and the vibe.

Didn't see a closet or dresser but the room looks lovely😊PS ,you're a good quilter.

So cozy and lovely 😊 ❤

I love all the scallops and the pink walls are lovely!

So beautiful!

Super cozy, LOVE IT!

love your space looks gorgeous! wisely put together congrats 🎉

Looks amazing. Great job.

An amazing make over, it looks fabulous, you are a very talented Janelle,

Such a great job I love everything you did

Love this 😍 such a lovely room make over!

That was an excellent result…..your design is very pleasing….. love it…..!! 🌷🌷😊🇦🇺

This room turned out fabulous, especially with all your hand made goodies😻 Although I may be biased on the color choice, since I once chose all 3 from dark to light on the Copper Penny paint chip. Hands down my favorite colors for warm and cozy. You nailed it!👏

It's very beautiful :) well done!

You're my comfort youtuber❤

So beautiful, truly! Loving the vibe, so cosy!! Bravo 👏

Really nice!!!😍

Very Pretty!!! Congratulations on your mural wall!!! ❤️💖✨

It’s lovely!!

Love it ❤

I love the velvet curtains and I’ve never seen the pull gather tape before. I want to turn my plain curtains into pinch pleats but I like the look you have. Also have you thought of making a buffalo plaid bed skirt

It’s so beautiful and inspiring, you have such a great eye! I find it so intimidating to get started. Love it so much!

Beautiful!

Beautiful job!

Love it, so cute!

That color was my first Choice.

I'm glad that you went for the lighter paint colour. I like the crayfish wall hanging. Did you make this?

Very pretty

Great job!!❤

Very calm and cozy! Just a question...where is storage space for your guests?

Loving the journey for your guests room. I had to laugh when I saw the wooden frame of the roses. I had the exact same print. Why didn’t you use Command strips rather than nails?

In future you can always ask for half or quarter strength of your colour choice.

I want to stay there 😍😆

Am I the only one that got caught by surprise by the 10th of December- when I’m sitting here on June 2nd. I know it isn’t an old video as she’s in the new house. Ohhhhh I commented to early! Lol

I'm relieved you changed out of the dress to paint 😅

❤❤

is the dress you wearing at the end your pattern? so cute!

How much is too much?

If you wanted a color between two, why not mix them together

Do you two ever want to be parents..?? Just curious, you bought a smaller home. ❤❤
