Next, added wall💡sconces to the sides of bookcases for reading while in bed. Also a petite ledge (or cube) mounted on each side to stow your phone📱, a pretty trinket dish for jewelry you'd rather not sleep-in, &/or a glass of water💧. 🥺Seems a tragic waste of potential merchandising space from my perspective〰️but I'm also a🏺collector 🖼 as well as an 📖 avid reader 👀. 💚Bridget from Cali☘️ (using my pal's YT acct)

This is a great makeover, but it's a shame you didn't allow her to have full-height bookshelves on either side of the bed. You could have replaced one of the shelves with that same mahogany insert and left enough space open above it to give her a "side table" and then continued with regular book-filled shelves above. Or given her floating shelves above each side table. Librarian's gotta have her books!! (I'm a former librarian, now a book editor, so I get it.)

Very beautiful. Love that you used the top of an old and broken mahogany piece and made the tops for the sidetables/bookcases. The wallpapered and arched nook is gorgeous and clever. My only criticism, and it's based on personal preference, is replacing the padded upholstered bed with an iron bed. I read in bed a lot and I bet she does too. From experience I can tell you an upholstered headboard is much much more comfortable to rest against while reading in bed. You still have a tendency to prioritize looks over practically and comfort. Design needs to have both. When you master this principle you will really level up your already good work.

I like the makeover but I loved the color story she had and her old furniture much more. Her bed was pretty, the light armchair with the sofa was so good. Also her lamps on that bookcase were awesome. For me it needed only a few bits and pieces, like the archway (very nice), the side tables (great idea with the bookcase), pictures on the wall and some decor. The video would be boring though, I get it.😊 It came out pretty, it's just not my cup of tea but if the client is happy, that's more important. She was so sweet.

@bellaluce7088 Жыл бұрын

I totally agree about Seyna having fantastic style to start with! And that arch! Swoon! 😍Even though I love her original cushioned headboard (which would definitely have looked great with tall bookcases on either side), I totally see why bringing in a metal one that's similar to one on her inspiration board made sense, especially given the mirror she also liked and the new black light fixture so the eye travels throughout the space. And having a see-through bed frame and lower shelves allows the blue of her newly painted wall to remain a dominant feature. Given how much the space already had going for it, I actually think they did a great job of incorporating designs she was attracted to and the coziness she specifically mentioned without pushing things too far for a minimalist. And from her delighted comments about it being beautiful and really loving it, I'm guessing she agrees! ; - ) If you look at the before and after of the bedroom, it's actually a pretty major transformation. And the great thing is, if there's anything she decides doesn't like, she can just switch it back (or take it to her school's library). ; - D

general question: what happens to all the furniture that your clients own but you don't incorporate into their new space? It it thrown away or donated by your team? Or do you store it somewhere so they can take a look afterwards, if they still want to use some stuff in other rooms? How does it work?

Lovely job as usual. I would recommend two things regarding the outlet under the desk. I always paint my outlets to make them disappear. (Just use a dry brush and a few coats.) Second, always cut the tags off of any cords. They are unsightly and unneeded. (Who ever reads them? If someone is obsessive about it put them in a ziplock bag, labeled and stored.)

The wallpapered desk nook with arch is GLORIOUS!!!!!!!! ❤🤩❤And I love that they gave her a version of the mirror she'd been admiring (perfect spot for it!), plus a carpet that really ties the room together. ; - ) I actually also truly loved Seyna's Before decor so much!! The lovely calm palette and the proportions and layout were beautiful to me, especially the way her white upholstered headboard gave a strong color block contrast to the blue wall yet still looked so soft and inviting; how the sideways bookshelf gave a pop of color while subtly unifying the space with that strong horizontal line; and the eye-candy sculptural effect of her lamps and globe backlit by the window. Just gorgeous! She has an artist's eye and talent as an interior designer herself!!! 🎨❤🖌 I love that the makeover found a way to let her live with the dark-painted bookshelves she'd been admiring (with more functional horizontal shelves! ; - ) while adding a TON of new storage space with the sideboard under the window. Too many makeovers REMOVE storage, which is bananas. Putting all the books by the bed struck me as a bit too intense for a bedroom space when I first saw it (even as a book lover!), but they actually really unify the bedroom and living room spaces, and once you're in bed what you're actually looking at is the gorgeous arch nook with soothing blue wallpaper and calming arch. Fabulous! Props for a lovely makeover, and I hope Seyna is enjoying her new home!

Wonderful makeover. It took the potential that already existed and enhanced it greatly. It's elegant but warm and cozy. I learned a lot. One of the things l want to try from the old incarnation is tipping my bookshelves so that l can stack my books. I love the cozy nook and many of the individual items are amazing. It all comes together perfectly.

@LaManelle Жыл бұрын

I feel like the rug didn't match too much with the wall paint and wallpaper but throwing in a yellow chair just throws is it all out. It's the first time I'm like not sure of the final result. I feel like if you do a pop of color that is very different from the walls, do one, not two, it's too much.

OMG I would have loved to see that nook as a built in library. I'm thinking you could have created a barn door above it that could slide infornt of one of the closets and mount the tv on the Door. This way she could have her TV in the center when the door is closed or open the barn door to reveal her library behind it. If you go a step further you can get a wall paper with a library background so that when the door is open it looks like an extension of the library nook. Making her Beaty and the Beast Library a reality.

Nicely done. Her place was cute and tidy before, but you really took it to a chic, liveable, and comfortable space. You can *never* have enough covered/hidden storage in a studio apartment, so nice job with the few extra pieces you added. Her floors and windows were gorgeous, and the space was very nice, which really helped you guys amp it up in the best way possible.

I gotta admit that when I saw the beginning sneak peeks of the finished designed and furnished apt I really wasn’t feeling it. But during the final reveal I really loved it. It’s amazing to me how all the disparate elements seem to magically combine to make a very clean, uncluttered, super comfortable studio apt. Another home run!
