    I’ve had furniture recovered and in many cases it is less expensive to buy new than recover some old thing. If you already own it and the piece means something to you then recover it.

      I've had furniture recovered and it's always been free, including the fabric! You just have to know where to look and who to kidnap! And where to dispose of the bodies afterwards.

    You turned a mess into a wonderful constructive area. I understand people need designers to help them but I've but I find it amazing they had no idea how to go about making things look less messy.

    Wow, gorgeous! (as always) Really great, useful space now! The only thing I would change is the coffee table - it's too big, too bulky, and has too many sharp corners. Remember, they had LITTLE kids, one just walking. Which means little heads may come into contact with the furniture. Ouch. Not enough room around the coffee table to move, really. A round or oval coffee table might have fit the bill better, IMO.

    It's beautiful, love the storage ideas. Carpet in the basement for me though - NO! What if you have a sewer back-up? What if your basement floods from a broken water pipe or a burst pipe from the water heater or even, Heaven forbid, flooding outside that pours in through the basement windows? With our climate changing, never count out that you could get a flooded basement.

    • @AbodeHomeChannel
      @AbodeHomeChannel  3 роки тому +1

      Great idea! But wouldn't you rather have a comfy carpet under your feet on all those days there isn't a flood? Way more chance of no flood than flood...

    I loved the redo and the use of red! But I don't get the room. Ivory walls, white sofa, white in the fabric, light carpet? Curtains, accessories, and a TV on a low console? First of all, the kids will have it dirty and destroyed in a week The TV can fall on them, and all the glass bowls, wicker balls will be ruined.
    I wouldn't get a chair from the trash. Covid, pet urine, roaches, bedbugs? Nasty is right!
