Maybe you can get Scott to compromise and do wood flooring and a large area rug. Would blend in Beautiful. The bookcase looks great

31.08 This phrase needs to be on your merch, Sophia! :D And tell Scott if he wants carpet in the bedroom he's the person who gets vacuum duty - lol

Don't beat yourself up. You are doing a fabulous job. I would have given up with the angle thing. You should have a gold medal. Love ya.

Sophia please stop saying you have no skills because you do every project that you do comes out successful even professional workers aren’t as good as you are . Plus many house wives are so dependent on their husbands that projects never get done most of the time . You are different you zoom right into it . You are a real trooper

Looks great! I have a suggestion: paint the back wall of bookcase before you install the moulding, it would be easier than having to tape the moulding to paint the wall.

Great job, Sophia! Check out your library for tools to borrow. Our library lends out tools and other things to the public. All you need is a library card.

I think your bookcase looks terrific. Don't worry about imperfections. Our house was built by professionals with all the tools and nothing is plumb. You make many of us want to guild things. Yes, invest in tools or rent them. We bought some pricey things and shared the cost and use with a few neighbors.

It's a joy to see you building something with the kind of tools I have available for projects! I love to watch DIY projects but it's demoralizing when they whip out $10,000 worth of power tools I will never own to finish a project.. I have a drill and a $10 miter box. You inspire me. :0)

A nice beige with blue threads on Berber for carpet? BROVO!! Great job!

you've done a beautiful job, well done. one year my husband asked me what i would like for christmas , my answer was a hammer drill and an industrial stapler/ nail gun, he thought i was joking but that's what i wanted, guess what he bought me, 'yes', a hammer drill and the stapler, and i use them regularly. keep encouraging us sophia.

The bookcase looks fabulous! Terrific job Sophia!

Wow Sophia!!! It looks great!!! The boys are going to want a corner bookshelf in their rooms now!!! I hope you get the tools you need to complete your goals in your house. I'm impressed with your skills that you have, skills that are taught to someone that needs to know how to build. You got skills girl!!!!

Holy smokes that room is going to be an EPIC transformation!

It looks so good Sophia. When you go to remove yhe old carpet, make sure Scott is helping. So he will see for himself just how dirty carpets are. It blew my mind when we took ours up. And i used my carpet shampooer on a regular routine and had a rainbow vacumn cleaner. Now i love wood floors.

I think you will be happy with a grayish neutral carpet. It wont show lint and every little thing and it will let the walls and decor be the stars of the room. A darker carpet would compete with the walls and take away from the pizzazz.

Having wood floors helps if you have allergies and new carpet has synthetics, formaldehyde, and other smells that can be taxing on our health systems. Just a thought to consider. The shelves look great! Looking forward to seeing how you style them.

Sophia, that turned out awesome! Great job, I can't wait to see what the end result will be in the bedroom. I think those cabinets as night stands sounds like a great idea. That cart is nice but not for the bedroom. Anyway, I can't wait to see the rest. Are you sitting there admiring your handywork with a cup of tea? You should.

I’m getting more and more impressed with this project Sophia. Looks pretty darn good. If you get a nail gun, remember you have to use an air compressor. They do have a type without and battery operated, so look for that.

I think you have earned the right to decide the flooring choice based on all the hard work and time you have put into your bedroom makeover. Get the wood floor look you want. If Scott wants to have a say in the decision, he should be working on the room right along side of you.

I’ve never built anything except ikea furniture but watching you gives me inspiration.

Love your bookcase. If your are having trouble with cosmetics and allergy, you certainly don’t need carpet in a room that is used for sleeping. Scot are you listening.

WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL!!!

I think I would paint the walls behind the shelves the same color as the shelves. It would look really nice and save you some grief. It’s amazing how you did this. I look forward to the rest of the series.

You could do the wood floor and just add a large area carpet to please you both 😊 The shelf looks great Sophia. Once it is calked and painted you won't even see the screws or the cleats. Just calk that back gap and you won't need the wood at the back to cover.

I jumped for joy when you got that angle - you are doing such a fabulous job

Sofia, I love the way you say “glue” and “blue”. Congrats on a job well done.

Suggestion: the lights should go on the sides instead of the ceiling that way you don't see them, just the glow on the awards

What a wonderful job you've done!!!!! You can rent those tools you need for the time you need them. Wish our laptops were made so we could talk to you when you are stuck on something or need advice--------wouldn't that be great!! You mentioned gray for the carpet color & that would be a good accent color for the blue/white colors but choose the right shade of gray----you can get samples to take home & play with.

I LOVE watching your mind work out solutions! It’s genuine and inspiring- we can all learn from this- fear of failure is what stops me and I love that you address it and move forward. I love it! The bookcase is amazing. It looks so complicated and yet you solved it! ❤️❤️ absolutely lovely!

Wow, I give you huge loads of credit making those angle cuts, the miters look great. Congrats on a job well done.

I love watching you doing the makeovers. You have done a wonderful job. Sending love 😘😘😘😘

Absolutely love your bookcase and can’t wait to see them all painted and the Emmys, your books, photos and treasures set up. Love all your ideas for your bedroom. You might want to check out Deco Wrap on the internet for making your fabric covered window valance. I have them for my dining room that I made out of a tablecloth and it is easy to do and install. Maybe Scott would compromise and go for a wood floor and a large area rug? If not and you get carpeting please be very careful with the color and make sure you take a paint sample with you when you go carpet shopping. Keep up the great work. I am so enjoying your bedroom makeover. Thank you dear Sophia.

Your doing a GREAT JOB !!!

I love it! Really enjoying this room makeover (as I do all your makeovers😉) As always you're inspiring...I'm going to work right now on a HUGE decluttering job - our home office is full of years of indecision 😕 but he & I are committed to tackling it methodically. Thanks for sharing this with us!

I'm so impressed. Look what you did! Amazing job. :)

Oh no !!! The carpet has glue on it !!!!!!!😃💕best wishes to you .

Your bookshelf turned out great! Angles are so challenging. You might consider adding an "angle divisor" to your tool wish list. I have one, and it easily determines cut angles for inside and outside corners. Simply set your miter saw to that angle. Saves a lot of frustration and headaches! Menards sells one for $7.11.

Wow Sophia, I am impressed with your bookcase! It looks really beautiful. You definitely need to invest in a few tools since this is such an important hobby of yours. As for the carpeting, I think it's more of an American thing, I remember we used to have carpeting when I lived in the States, it was in the house, but never had any in any houses in Europe. I am on your side with this one, I really do not like it, and it can easily get stained and dirty. Also, since you are on a health journey, carpeting is really not the best for a lot of allergens and toxicity, please consider that and look into that. Wood floors are generally never cold, but you can add some area rugs, which can get more easily cleaned than a carpet. Rotting for you always! brava Sophia! 🌷

The Trim finishes it off so nicely ~ What a Great Job Sophia You will have a lot of fun filling and styling it when you are ready........

Great job Sophia. I love what you've done so far. This is fun watching the progress.

Fantastic! So proud of you.

Looks like a professional job to me! Well done!

It's crazy how you touch other women's life, I was at highschool when I started watching you. I wanna diy and build too💜

You can always get a big rug for under your bed and have it come out a few inches by your bedside on each side the rest wood .

i likit.i like everything you do. my grandfather had a saying about diy jobs that were not perfect it was i cant see it from my house. my husband will try most any diy i think up they arent perfect, ut the satisfaction from the job is great. keep up the good work.

Wood floors definitely and add a big rug for hubby!

Sophia, you are brilliant...

A good compromise is to hardwood floors is to also add an area rug. My allergist swears by this way of living. Much more efficient way of keeping things clean. I haven't had carpets for years. Tfs

You DO deserve a HUGE pat on the back, Sophia! If I lived closer, I'd come give you one myself! It looks awesome!!!!!

Sophia… your bookcase looks awesome for what skills you do have 👍… a suggestion.. you should have also nailed the trim besides just glue ..

Bookcase is AMAZING! Can picture the Emmys in there!!🙌🏻🙌🏻

Great job on bookcase Sophia, room will look lovely when it’s finished, l am sure. Pat yourself on the back for all your hard work. 🤔👍🇬🇧🙋🏼‍♀️

You're doing an amazing job. You should be proud!

I do have to say your did a fantastic job. It's great to see you finally get your master bedroom done. You and Scot need that.

Carpet-wise! With your allergies a wood floor would definitely be best dust-wise. Wouldn't Scott buy that argument? You could always have a couple of rugs.

Well done on the mitering! Looks planned. Keep up the great work! Just sink the screws and Bondo or use wood filler instead of trim on the interior shelf.

Coming along very nice. I thought you were having more vertical cubbies for the Emmy's. Can't wait for finished bookshelf project. Thank you for sharing your life.

Sophia your book case looks great!! As for the trim, I would use small finishing nails to insure that the trim you glued on will stay in place and won’t come off over time. Great Job my dear and congratulations 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🤗❤️❤️!!

Love how the bookcase is looking.

Looks great! You can always rent tools for projects at your Home Depot.

I thinks it's a masterpiece Sophia! So many complicated angles and it looks fabulous - well done you!

I am absolutely loving this book shelf. 💗 I can’t wait to see it finished and styled. It is so amazing that you made it happen…not that we ever doubted you! 😉

Shelve look amazing. Love watching your process. So encouraging.

Love your shelves. Certainly a project to b proud of. Could u counter sink the screws and plug the holes for a sleeker finish. Look forward to your next video. Have a wonderful weekend.

ask this old house and this old house both have an episode int he archives that teaches how to do exactly what you were going for with those kinds of trims to give a seamless look. And your doing a great job figuring it all out.

Try a floating shelf under the skylight. You can get brackets that screw into the wall and the shelf slides over it.

I love the book case!! 😊😊

What an amazing job with the corners!! It is looking wonderful! Sophia, you do have skills! Thank you for sharing!

So exciting to see your room coming together! Can't wait to see the continued progress...I'm especially can't wait for the colours go on the walls and fresh flooring!! The book case looks great!! Love the trim as well. Definitely pulled it all together! 👍

Awesome job on this book case. My older sister are a lot like you in the sense we are not afraid to make things ourselves. Thank you for sharing Sophia❤️❤️❤️

You are an Amazing woman to be sure. Great job ❤️

G’day Sophia, I am loving this makeover series. Congratulations on the bookcase. What a great job you did. You are such an inspiration and prove that nothing is beyond us if we put our minds to it. You keep patting yourself on the back - you so deserve it. With love and best wishes from Down Under 😘💕🇦🇺

I say whatever carpet you choose, try to make sure it has several color varieties within it to help with stain visibility over time. Our carpet is gray overall, but threads are tan, gray, black, white

The bookcase looks beautiful. Good job!

Fantastic job! You worked so hard on all those angles! What about a golden beige carpet? That way it is not too light, but it's not green!!! Lol! Keep going Sophia, you are doing great with your Bedroom make-over!! TFS 😊👍💖

Congratulations!! You did it, again! You definitely have a knack for figuring stuff ( such as weird angles) out. Looking good!

Great job Sophia as usual! I love your attitude, ain’t nothing to it but to do it!

Amazing work as usual!

Yay Sophia! I was cheering you on. I knew you could do the miters! Love watching you work through these diy projects. Great job. It’s looking great.

WOW! It looks so good. I love your talking out loud and figuring stuff out. It's great! I hope you are scouring FB marketplace for a miter saw. I see them on there. Watch for a Chop Saw too. My hubby uses it like a Miter Saw and he's a woodworker. I am dying to see the finished bedroom. I'm sure you are too. Hugs! 💕

It’s looking good, Sophia! ❤️

I have been watching you since the very first video but have never commented - I'm shy. But I just wanted to let you know, Sophia, that your skills and can do attitude never cease to amaze me! Blessings from WY.

The bookcase looks great!! Can't wait to see it styled. Love your videos💜

You are doing a fantastic job! Please keep up the great work!

Bookcase is wonderful ...

Yet again another great job well done you Sophia

Turned out amazing.

Absolutely fabulous!!

Looks great! Can’t wait to see the finished project. Doing well without all those tools.

I love it too!

PS... I think you knocked this out of the freakin' park! 👍👩👍

The bookcase is wonderful....

The shelves look great. I’m really enjoying the music for this series by the way.

Looks amazing!!!!

Great job on the bookcase, Sophia! Those angles are tough for lots of us.

Love it!! You are great.

Perfect for sure..

Great job on the bookcase it looks great! I was thinking of you as I was watching Andrea@ DIY WIFE

Great job Sophia,you are a very talented lady this is such a exciting project thanks for sharing xx

Scott needs to let you have the hardwood floors! You can place a rug on top if you want. They’re replaceable! Also you’re the one that has to clean it
