I'm so inspired by you. Losing all that weight, solo traveling, getting a degree, and now freaking remodeling apartments!!!!!! You are amazing ❤️

I love that you are living your life exactly in your way. Nowadays I’ve been thinking “when I’m 85 and grey what would I tell my younger self” and that’s what helps me stay on track to worry less and live life for myself, how I want to and not for others or by others standards. Your channel embodies this to me so thank you for your content💞

As a couple of people have mentioned below, you really must get rid of the mould before you paint your walls/ceilings other wise it will come back through and it's very nasty stuff, you don't want to be breathing the spores from that in. When you do other rooms in your house go to B&Q and buy some Ronseal 3 in 1 mould killer and follow the bottle instructions, you may need more than one application to get it all off, then once that's done buy some Ronseal 6 year anti-mould paint (this contains a fungicide to help prevent the mould from regrowing) it's quite expensive but well worth it, don't be tempted to buy the cheap stuff, or you'll probably have to redo it. Make sure you open your windows when painting to let the fresh air in. Quick edit: forgot to mention you can get a telescopic extension pole to put your roller on when you do the high ceilings.

I suffer from mold poisoning so I can say this from experience. If you have mold, you should bleach it after removal or get mold specialists. It must be removed. I can’t say but green mold can be sometimes ok and won’t affect your health. Black mold is extremely toxic. You can’t just scrape it and paint over it. That releases mold spores. Doesnt matter how healthy you are. If mold continues to exist your health will deteriorate. You’ll start to notice when your head is sore or you have nasal issues esp sneezing. Also you must find the source of the mold. There’s probably a hole that’s causing the leakiness. If you don’t, the walls are eventually going to turn moldy and damp again. You can check the dampness of your room via company.

Megan first, I want to say I LOVE this video for what it is. The before and after are incredible and I think you did such a fantastic job. But I am SO concerned for the sorts of mold and toxins you may have exposed yourself to while stripping the wallpaper and sanding the walls as well. There was mold on the walls and you mentioned your salt lamp was leaking which means that it’s picking up moisture in the air. I don’t know if you’ll ever see this, but mold is so harmful to breath in and the exposure to whatever was in the dust could leave you vulnerable to long term health effects ☹️ I hate to seem like I’m bringing down the energy of your video with this comment, but I’ve come to really care about you and I just want you to be okay! I know it can be a bit pricy, but I wonder if getting a mold kit and sending it out to be tested might be a good idea. You can also buy a hygrometer to tell you the humidity level in the room it’s in. 45-50% humidity is ideal and any higher might warrant the purchase of a dehumidifier. Especially in your bedroom. Anyway seriously. Great job with the decor. Love your videos always 🙏🏼♥️

Your room turned out amazing! You did a lot of hard work! My concern is the mold that was not removed before you painted. That mold is sitting there and I saw when you were showing the cracks in the bottom trim, there was also mold is in there. That's a very serious indicator that there is mold not just under the paint, but in the walls as well. I recommend getting a mold inspector to come and look because even if it doesn't look like much, mold spores can be deep in the wall, and can make you and your pets extremely sick. Just want to make sure you and your fam don't get sick! Love your videos btw!

just a concern is that it looks like u painted over mold so i just checked online and it said eventually the mold will come back because paint will not kill the bacteria, so just mindful you might see it again. place looks beautiful btw girly!

She is the only youtuber that I watch all of their videos, I get so excited when she uploads!

Oh you have tenacity lol. Love this vlog. Thank you so much! I would happily sit here and watch a 3 hour vlog from you! ❤

It was a lot of hard work, but the final result was definitely worth it! The room looks so beautiful and cozy! 💖✨

The bedroom looks great! But the fact that you did this much work on a place you’re renting! 🤯 Your landlord should reimburse you for renovating their property lol

Wow this video has been worth the wait! You should be so proud of yourself! Shame on the people that have rented this place out to you like that. X

I hope you're so proud of yourself! I'm proud of you! You kicked that rooms ass and challenged yourself so much! I'm a little older than you with two kids in US but every time I watch one of your videos I say "Gosh, I wanna be as brave as Megan when I grow up"! Love you my friend ❤

Oh wow!! You did a real renovation. It looks so beautiful!! 😃 Well done 💪🏼

This was the most hilarious renovation video I’ve seen yet.😂 I’ve done renovation and interior decorating myself and it is a LOT of work and sweat, even if you know what you’re doing. Kudos to you for being fearless and jumping into the unknown. Someone posted concern about the mold, and yes that is something to legitimately be concerned with, since mold can make you very sick if not treated properly. I also recommend purchasing a dehumidifier and running it as needed because it’s obvious there is a problem with damp. I lived in a 1920s bungalow that was chronically damp due to the crawl space beneath the house. It kept the house cold, my five parrots shivering and miserable, and affected my lungs. The dehumidifier worked miracles! My lungs and parrots thanked me. For your first really down and dirty renovation, you did great-but yes, please treat those other moldy walls before painting. You may find this room will have to be done again because the mold will return.

I gotta say this video made me feel a lot better about my half-renovated living room. I've been working on it since May but I work so much and spend so much time out of the house that I honestly don't feel like working on it when I reach my day off. It'll happen one day! 😂❤

It's not weird at all since I was a child my parents only used yellow lights white light just makes me feel cold and uncomfortable. I only use yellow light in my home

Girrl I know from experience that was not easy work at all! You absolutely transformed that space 😍

Girl if you haven’t seen the movie Under The Tuscan Sun (such a cute film I think you’d love it)you definitely have to because this is giving me those vibes!! It’s looking amazing tho can’t wait to see the rest 🥰✨

It turned out amazing! Great job Megan! It looks so cozy!! You should be really proud of yourself! You put so much effort into it!!

You did a great job! I think adding some shelves and a couple paintings will make it look more complete 😊

Love it! And I love how you rely on yourself (and maybe you have to, but it's another thing to also really take the steps and do stuff on your own, cause thats not always that easy), just try out stuff yourself and learn from the things that go well and the things that go less well, it's an admirable characteristic that I hope your proud of!

Looks so nice!! 😊 idk what your renting situation is, but I would think that if you saw mold the landlord should be the one to pay for expenses of having it tested and treated....at least here in the US it most likely would be under their responsibility. Check that out if you are worried about the cost and headache of the mold situation. ❤

For the future: Look up Companies who would do some work for free and you do the advertising for their company or products. You have a lot of following - these days that’s worth a LOT. Be smart and use your platform. You deserve this! 😘

Wall plugs! They are used when the walls are either hollow or made of a material that crumbles easily. It gives the nails something to grips onto.

Your room looks so cozy and fairytale like 🧚🏼‍♀️🌿 I remember back when I started watching your videos 4 years back u used talk a lot about having your dream bedroom and this is just how I imagined it ☺️💕 I am so happy for you Megan!!! All your hard work paid off.

Hallo Megan, it was a joy to listen and see how you remodeled your room. Can imagine how tuff and the long hours it took. But the best feeling is the aftermath of finishing it. Well done! ❤😊

hi! my family house is pretty old too (passing a hundred years now) and yeah, its not easy to do a renovation with walls like these and tbh i completely understand how much time it took. it felt very rel when you said you grew up in a hoarder household... yeah, extremly easy to just get used to bad conditions and have no energy to deal with them on top of actual living/studying/working. high five and bravo for you for not giving up and finishing this reno all by yourself! 💪i'm personally just overwhelmed with how much stuff is in my room and all the fixes im gonna have to do... but i do feel encouraged after seeing you achieve this

Your room looks lovely! You done such a good job with those walls! Everything came together in the end! 💫

So much hard work and it was worth it, turned out so cozy and nice ✨

Omg i got tired just looking at this. So much work! You did great!

You are a role model for me Megan!🙌🏻 i really admire you

OMG Megan, so much respect for you!! It really took soooo much work, effort, and time, I don't think I would have been able to do something like that.. you were amazing and truly did an amazing job! The room is so pretty and cozy now 😍✨

It was very cozy and beautifull but the work Just the thought of filling every small hole make me feel tired and wants to roll in a couch and be a potato 😂Anyways I enjoy it alot and hopefully when I got my apartment too, It doesn't have to spend alot of work in renovating ahahaha 🤣

i want to see your grandmas and grandpas reaction to the result so bad you did a fantastic job

You should make a gallery wall with thrifted frames!

This was so fun to watch! And worth the wait! Girl you had so much to do! My parents are construction workers, they do roofs, tile, painting, kitchen’s everything. I get so overwhelmed by it all I’m like dang how do y’all do this. I know enough to get by but I don’t claim to know it lol. When’s your next project lol

That's a fantastic transformation Megan. You are very talented and ingenious and should be proud of your achievements. You could have studied design like another famous person did! 😁

I simply adore your grandfather! I had a very close relationship with my grandfather and great uncles and aunts. Unfortunately, they all passed and I miss them everyday. Watching your moments shared with your grandfather brings so many memories of mine. You are blessed to have your grandparents around, especially since your current home is far away from your childhood home (I know you moved as a kid too.) On the end note, what a transformation! Is there anything you can’t do girl?! Also, can we elaborate on your outfit (pants) while painting the ceiling😂💀Hugs from NJ!

Wow megan what a transformation! It looked like such hard work, you did so well doing all that on your own. What a difference, it looks lovely. I definitely would have given up, youve inspired me to give things like that a go xx

Wow you worked so hard Megan and it turned out amazing! Always feel inspired after watching your videos xxxxxx

you are actual superwoman, i’ve loved seeing you glow up since Canada! keep being an inspiration to us all. xx

You can cut paint out of carpet with scissors, like trimming grass x

That’s so cool! You did so well Megan. It’s so amazing that you can fix things you don’t like in your house. In the state if you’re renting you can’t change much which kinda sucks!!

Omg I live an old house too and plaster walls with wallpaper are no joke! It’s so much work but it looks so good girl!

Omg Megan I just did the same thing!! My old room was brown, the walls, carpet and I was tired of it!! I did exactly everything you did and my carpet is still stained with paint and filling but I’m finally going to change it!! I loved this video!! I brightened it up to with Amazon fairy lights and colour changing lights! I took interior design but it was still challenging 😭😂 now I have snake and spider plants everywhere!

I am amazed at how you did all of this by yourself!!! Get it girl!!

Just wanted to say how much you should be proud of yourself ♥️ you did a great job on your own

Wow, amazing transformation & soooo much hard work that went into it! So happy that you have a cozy, comfy space to live in now ✨

I loved this video so much. I was giggling at you trying to reach the ceiling with the long pole. And omg I feel your pain with removing wallpaper! What a huge project you took on but so cool and probably an amazing feeling to be done!

I love it Megan!!! It looks so cozy x

Omg, I really missed your videos . So glad you posted a new one and glad to see you doing very well ❤️‍🩹😊

So excited that this video is finally out! You did an amazing job! And maybe someone else already commented on it but the plastic things in the wall seem like anchors which keep screws "locked" into the wall so that whatever is being held by the screw doesn't pull the screw out the wall and fall down. Usually best for screws holding heavy stuff :) typically you can push them backwards "into" the wall so they fall down behind the drywall since they're made to not easily come out from the front

That room looks 1000 times better! Well done! ❤

What a transformation!!! Bravo!!!

Yay! I have been unhealthily excited about seeing this haha

Wow Megan you did such an incredible job 👏

Add some wainscoting! It’s easy and will make the big walls look beautiful

Wow! I loved the result! I'm going to try it in my room haha.❤

Loved the video Megan!!

Wow!! It looks amazing!! You did an awesome job, a lot of hard work too, it looks so cozy and comfy 💕

You did a great job! It looks amazing ❤❤

It looks so good! Im so impressed!! Thats a lot of work. If your home is a rental how does it work to do home improvements? Does it change your rent amount or how much deposit you get back?

Excited to watch Eeeee!

You did an mazing job!!

Looks so great and calm in there! Well done. ❤

Something should have been done to the mold. Painting over does not remove it. Mold cause serious health issues, so I hope you did properly remove it before the renovation

Been here since Brighton 🥰 you did a really good job though Megan! Especially all by yourself like girl you go! Turned out beautifully

Im so confused cause i thought you were renting? The landlord is responsible for decorating and removing this mould, infact its the law 😲 its very unsafe to live in that room with mould and damp, a very awful landlord who needs reporting🤷‍♀️ you did amazingly doing it up yourself xxx

Finally. I’m so excited to watch this video!

Bravissima. E' bello vedere che fai anche lavori manuali senza spaventarti.

You did an incredible job this looks so cozy!!! Great job🙌

the transformation looks amazing, Megan! i could never

Watching Scarface while painting your room is such a vibe 😂 love it.

It looks beautiful! That’s a lot of work, yikes.

I am so excited for this video! I know it took you forever to edit it!!! *_*

Somehow I feel proud I got the Brighton reference 😂 some of us been around as long as them sheets rofl

❤ great job. It look so cozy and perfect

Wow

You looked like you were having fun haha… Your room looks great.. good job:)

Hi! Yay🎉!! You're back❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Soooo beautiful oh my gosh!! I love room transformations!!

Yay i've been so excited for this 😄 Edit: I grew up in a hoarder home too, I can relate 😶

I've been so excited for this and as always you did an incredible job! But just one thing I need clarified bc I live in Japan and things are different here-- here you have to own a house to be able to do any renovation. For example if you leave marks on the walls, when you move out they charge you for damaging the property. So if you're renting you can't even use a nail in the wall to hang a picture. Can someone tell me how things work in the UK as far as renting and renovation??

I loved your video 😍 We, as girls can do anything 💪

Meg it came out beautiful!!!

Girl I love your room

How did you turn 11 hours of footage into 18 minutes? Damn!! I haven’t watched it yet but I already love it!!

Amazing job Megan ❤❤❤❤❤❤

I enjoyed this video so much!!!

wearing the squeaky pants to renovate was killing me LOL

Wow 🥹, your room looks so cozy 💕

Meg ive been waiting for this video!! You did a great job. I know it had to feel really good to accomplish something like this 😇😇😇

that haircut is so cute on you!

Totally loved it! Pretty makeover!!!❤

You really are amazing Megan 😍 very inspiring 💖

I love it! It looks so cute

SOOOO CUTE!!

wow you did an amazing job! i love it!!

SCARFACE IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES!!!! I got a Tony Montana tattoo 😂❤ id love to be Elvira for Halloween and maybe I’ll make my kid Tony since I’m divorced 😅 but I love how tall your ceilings are 😍😍😍 dreamy! Love how it turned out. I feel you on the lights- I love me some yellow lights! The yucca is great too
