    I think the bamboo blinds were a great call. Even if the windows were new, I'm not sure there'd be anything wrong with that layering. The room looks beautiful and warm!

    Hello Sam I think you did a great job with the living room and I love your attitude. We all have our budgets we can all do what our budgets allow us to do and especially the way things are so expensive right now even if you are making your own stuff you still have to pay for the supplies they are not in abundance and then what little there is, is expensive I totally get it and I so appreciate your honesty it's so refreshing to see and hear the honesty it is what it is and we're all there some people just like to pretend that they have an endless amount of money.

    You are coming along on your house reno- the living room looks great. Definitely a good point about how spaces aren't perfect immediately- it'll change and become more "you" as you live in it and make changes. I think a round coffee table would look great with your sofa. Your hard work is definitely paying off.

    • @diyhuntress
      @diyhuntress  2 роки тому +1

    It came out so cozy :) I love the bamboo shades over the blinds :) It takes time to get your place where you want it to be. I've been working on my tiny cottage for almost 8 years, a couple of big projects each year :) I'll be done with the cottage itself this year, feels so good and it's now what I wanted it to be :) Next year starts the outdoor projects, that will take two years :) You're moving right along and your place looks great :)

  • @lisacamilleri211
    @lisacamilleri211 2 роки тому +1

    It looks awesome. There’s probably a way to raise those built-in shades as it would be weird if you didn’t have the option of being able to see out the windows. If you can raise them then they can stay accordioned at the top of the windows and hidden behind those beautiful bamboo shades and it would be like they’re not there.

      @@diyhuntress Because if one of my favs - DIY Dani - love her - I found you!! Another genius & creative femme fatale!
      Is it possible you switch sides the chaise is on? Even just for the winter as it is too close to the radiator, it could get so hot that it could catch fire, melt or ruin the leather. That cover turned out gorgeous! In its self is a piece of art!
      Regarding shoe storage, is there room under the couch to put pull out "drawers", so you can eventually lose the wall shoe/console? Although that looks great, yet! I agree a bit too tall as it covers that fabulous wall graphic. Instead, find - or build - a narrow sofa console that goes along the back of the sofa - which is so dreamy!! 🥰
      The coffee table! WOW! The rug - gorgeous! Fireplace - KA-POW!!! The entire room is stunning! While you are not 100% happy with this, you still did a magnificent job!
      PS:. Do not be concerned with what other say/criticize; it's what you do or need to do. No need to apologize.
      Enjoy your day/weekend!!

    Thanks again for showing the realities of doing a project largely by yourself! I personally love how obvious the timeline of the project is by your wardrobe, and the other in-depth videos you’ve done on the sub projects for this room. Most people watching UA-cam channels aren’t full time content creators/contractors/whatevers and would take a similar/longer amount of time to tackle something in this scale. It’s actually really affirming and encouraging to see the length of time it really takes to do a project well. AND THEN to hear it’s not 100% done and you don’t completely love it?! AGGGHHHH! Yes! That’s exactly what it’s like to redo your house! Thanks for keeping it real with your audience!

    @mabelmargaret8295 2 роки тому

    It looks great! I get what you mean about the shoe storage: I have pieces that are practical and suit a need but just don't look the way I want them to. Whenever you're able/ready you could do a long, lower console behind the couch to replace it. That would do double duty as a behind the couch table if you needed lighting or a place to sit your drinks, etc. Hope that helps! Looking forward to the next video! 😊💖

  • @aisling6564

    Hey Sam you did such a great job on the living room, as usual. The only comment I have is to move the couch closer to the kitchen so when you walk in from the front door you have space to walk directly in the room, not to have to walk around that awesome couch. That's just me. Can't wait to see the kitchen you motivate me to do more diys. Wishing you all the best on your upcoming wedding.

    The room looks stunning. If you don't like the shoe storage on the accent wall what about cutting the legs off and putting a cheap back on it and putting it against the couch that way you still have storage, a console table and your beautiful wall free. You'd have to decorate it a little different but it would solve so of your issues temporarily while you save for better options. Just a thought. Personally I love it. No doubt you get it to your perfect vision in due time. Stay blessed

  • @michellemcdonald7521

    Hi Sam, looks lovely. Just a quick thought for when your winter comes around again. The heat from the radiator will damage your yummy sofa so maybe think about pulling the living room set up so that the edge of your sofa lines with the edge of our fireplace pulling it away form the radiator. Hope this made sense. It looks really wonderful. Love the floors. Congratulations 👏

    This looks so great and homey! Also more realistic how most homes evolve and use what you have when you move.
    I have two tips,
    I think you should be able to access the blinds, most windows can be opened to be able to clean the inside and the blinds. I have had that kind of window in several houses, they could all be opened in different ways.
    You could try having a consol/shoe storage solution along the back of the couch instead.

    I watched your video on your grandparents stereo. It looked amazing I've inherited my grandparents Motorola console record player and want to redo it. How's yours doing? Also I heard you mention Bluetooth in that video I had someone tell me that you can plug a Bluetooth receiver into the tape input on the back of these old stereos and switch the knob over to tape and you can Bluetooth music through the stereo and turns out he was right I bought a Bluetooth receiver and plugged it into the tape input into the back of my grandparents stereo and I can literally Bluetooth music through the stereo it sounds awesome too..
