Sunroom Makeover! || Victorian Treehouse/Jungle Room Inspired
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 тра 2020
- I FINALLY DID IT, lol. After literal YEARS of saying I wanted to turn my sunroom into a Swiss Family Robinson-themed room, I dedicated a week to the transformation! The sunroom was the room in our house that was the most neglected, and ended up being where we stored junk and trash, and it had such wasted POTENTIAL. I personally love re-decorating videos, so here YA GOOOO.
I love you all!

This is how I imagine Jane and tarzan's future house looking and I love it.
Heehee❤️❤️
Exactly my thought!
Me too!
Rachel looks so much like Tarzan’s human mom
But which Tarzan?
Johnny Weismuller
Christopher Lambert
Alexander Skaarsgard
Brendan Fraser (George of the Jungle - haha - still?)
Or? Personally, I love them all!! What's not to love about a man in a loin cloth??
i always find the "essentricly dressed wife and normal looking husbans" couples amusing and adorable, like "this is my wife who dresses like an elven baker, she's a little weird but i love her"
If I wasnt terrified of my sewing machine I'd be the eccentric wife. Maybe after he builds me a she shed and I have room to lay out fabric
@@meahamo there’s also thrift stores, consignment shops, and estate sales
@@argella1300 yes.... but I am round and is harder to find that esthetic in my shade of round. It's OK though!
Awe! I'm going to take that as a compliment! Lol I dress like a Hogwarts professor and my husband is an accountant and dresses like one.
@@lugh8592 it IS a compliment and i aspire for a relationship like that. it's adorable
Fun fact from an architect whose school spent a lot of time on historic preservation - the trim you used to cover up the messy bits of the wood flooring around the perimeter is exactly how it was historically used. They would also always nail it into the wall instead of the floor so that the floor boards could expand and contract from heat and humidity without impediment
As someone who just bought a house built in 1884 and needs to redo her floors - thank you for this very helpful tip!
Gillian Frank yay happy to help! Wood trim is the bias tape of interior design lol
@@makesbymic I love that 😂
And- it helps to prevent water getting underneath the floor in the event of a flood, so you need replace as little as possible.
YAY! Quarter round (what it's usually called if anyone's looking for it) fixes so many sins
My contractor husband was cringing HARD when you hadn't staggered the flooring planks yet and breathed a sigh of *deep* relief once you figured out the staggering pattern. Like, he was so invested. He says, gaps at the edge are inevitable, and trim is the great equalizer. Also, he says, "good job, kids. You can work with me anytime." ;)
As an interior designer, I greatly appreciate the touches you added to the space to maintain the integrity of the house while making it truly your own. Well done, my heart is happy!
Good thing it is her home. Do w.e she and her hubby like to and no critics lols. Freedom! 😅🤪🤷🇨🇦
"this little corner used to be the trash and recycling corner, now upgraded to
GET TRASHED CORNER" 10/10
My favourite line 😂
me reading "Victorian" "jungle" and "treehouse" in one sentence..ive never clicked quicker in my life
Same!
So true xx
For real though
Put the telescope 🔭 back.
Word
Rachel: is an old soul who redecorated her sun room
Also Rachel: "This is our corner where we 'Get Trashed'"
I’m pretty sure the past few generations spent more than a little time trashed. Day drinking was a regular occurrence in the 50s.
@@thedaemonicblackcat dude they used to put cocaine in coca cola. Old inhalers were literally just speed in a tube that they'd give out like candy. So much shit had drugs!! The woman the children and the family dog were off their shits 24/7
@@epochii2756 sounds like a magical time.
I also love the reference to MTV's cribs knowing full well there wasn't a single house on that show with her aesthetic lmao
Finally someone who isn’t making the same boho tan color rooms, it seems that everyone is doing the same
putting a succulent on a white ikea table and calling it design.
extremely not my brand, tbh
omg yes i'm currently decorating my own apartment and getting so tired of all these characterless hipster rooms
Omg yeeeess!! I love that someone isn't going with the "trend" and making it feel like a variety on UA-cam room makeovers lol
i highkey hate minimalism, it’s pretty in concept but it makes a room feel so...empty. i want things that are loved everywhere, draped over chairs and proudly displayed on shelves and hung on walls, i want all the colours that make the owner of the room happy, i want a mix of every style that’s adored. i want *life* in a room.
i think both are nice lol
I love how Frodo is like "Where Mama goes, I go" even though the location, of between Rachel's feet, doesn't work for Rachel
Accurate 😂😂
My dog is the same way. He tripped me when I was going up the stairs yesterday 🤦🏿♀️. There's no peace to be had lol
My kitten does just that to everybody in the house. My mom tripped down the stairs to avoid stepping on the kitten. :(
She's his Precious
Darrah Jones-Reddy Agreed. Frodo is adorable.
“There was this weird empty space, we didn’t know how to fix that so we just got some trim to put around the room” that.. that’s how you fix that
I have the same problem and I feel like you could add a second bookshelf.....
@ExantheKitty - I think original comment meant 7:12 where one of the floor boards was not flush with the wall.
@@spacewolfcub I have that same issue in my living room, with the original hardwood. Bigger trim is always the answer!
Just curious, does that work for even gaps in the middle of the room too?
I think I need Rachel and Bernadette to help me achieve the eclectic “I collected all these cosy old-fashioned things over the years, no I’m not a hoarder, I just dig history “ vibe. ❤️
"Small child who befriends every animal" in the book it was actually the dad who did that. Like sixty percent of the book is literally just "we found this animal and I tamed it and now we can ride it because fuck reason we live on an island". At one point the mom is even like "I love you but wtf" and he's like "no it's fine, it's a local so we can just turn it out to pasture and it'll tend to itself, it'll be fine, don't worry about it".
I identify with Father Robinson because I too would see an ostrich and immediately think "how can I ride that".
_Me, a crazy plant dad when I see other people get into plants_ : *One of us ,OnE oF Us, ONE OF US, oNe Of Us* !!!!!!
I NEED *MOREEEEE*
Omg love your picture
They're so addictive aren't they!! 🌱🤗 I think the last time I counted, I have around 40 individual plants just in my small living room and kitchen. 😅 And I'm also that person that names most of them. 😜
Same😂 My kitchen looks more like a jungle than a kitchen, mostly because it’s the room with the biggest windows and it's south-west faceing, so it's perfekt for my green babies🌱💕
I love plants, if only I didn't inherit my mums black thumb
It's so nice to find someone with the same decor aesthetics. Most of my friends make fun of me and what they call my "grandma" style when it comes to interior design, but I don't feel happy surrounded by modern, minimalistic furniture
right? vintage interior design and aesthetics just feel so cozy, used and loved!
I don't think it's grandma at all it's so beautiful and elegant! It really feels like the room has soul
If you're looking for more vintagey room decor videos, may I suggest Bernadette Banner's sewing room videos! 😁 She did two, a process video and a room tour, and it's so lovely
some people don't realize that "cluttered and cozy" is not the same as "dirty", either
Same here
I love how Frodo is always the ever faithful sidekick, always interested in what his mama is up to and 100% invested! Even when sleepy!
I love how your room actually started off as a mess. These are my favorite types of renovations.
One of my favourite running gags on this channel is the “quack” sound that appears during fails or akward moments!
Hahahaha it makes me laugh every time. My SpongeBob roots 😂😂😂
I have a feeling this is gonna be a top comment, see of I'm right in an hour to a day!
The quack is always one of my favorites! Cracks me up every time! 😅😅
Classic, love it, never lose it!🦆
"when in doubt add more things" is a full hobbit mood
Hobbit maximalism is the best aesthetic
Especially if it’s Victorian. They LOVED LOVED jamming their rooms full of plants, hanging things, bric a brac, and a zillion pictures on the wall.
My aesthetic is Howl's bedroom from the Studio Ghibli movie. I relate.
@@MirasaurusRex Same
Tears in my EYES laughing at that evil gramnaphone!🤣
I love it! I live in a medieval castle in the Netherlands and I love the style you have there. I only use antiques and things from second hand shops. It is beginning to look very 1900 and Victorian, ( depends on which room).
How cool! You should make a chanel
@@TheBookkeepersCottage maybe about our garden, we will
I’m deeply curious to see how you’ve decorated and designed the inside to look and would be thrilled if someway somehow I could have a tour someday lol 🏰
I never realized how much I needed my apartment to look like a Victorian Treehouse/Jungle Room until now.
😂❤️❤️❤️
I'd love it too. Recently I just thought I'd like to buy some house plants after 20 years of not having any. I'd love to have a room like Rachel's to put them in - with some cane furniture!
Time: late
Body: exhausted
Tomorrow: a lot of work
Me: Must watch Rachel Maksy
😭😂❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hotel: trivago
A mood honestly
Same tho
Same
This makes me miss my bedroom when I was a teen, I fixed it so cool with antique trunks, globes, maps and lanterns all styled after a 1600s shipyard office that I saw pictures of, all of which I worked my absolutely butt off to pay for and now I’m a boring ass adult with with plain kid proof furniture and very little decorations and barely a hint of anything vintage :-(
Don’t need to be that way, get yourself some old style furniture and get back at it 💖💖
omg, that sounds so cool, i've been thinking of decorating my bedroom for the first time and you just added to my idea : D
I get it, but remember this is just for a time. Someday we will have our nice homes back, lol. In the meantime I just hid my breakables on a shelf above my kitchen cupboards. Completely out of reach, but I see them :)
It’s actually pretty easy to childproof nice rooms, just as long as you don’t have little mouth sized trinkets, all you need is some creative potting so they don’t eat dirt, a fluffier rug or table covering for added protection. There are even ways to diy funky looking child/pet gates using different paints or materials. And the only other worry is glass tables after that.
Just a few suggestions as an older sibling who grew up with a little brother and personalized my own space around him. 👍🏼
@@teritt That worked with my first child, and works with my 3yo, but my middle child is a Rogue engineer that has taken it as a delightful game to figure out every single child proofing measure I have thrown at him.
And he has done so successfully, I might add. Took him only 30 minutes to figure out the two button strap lock for the freezer drawer... He was 3 at the time.
Why is “vintage jungle treehouse” not an aesthetic on the Mr. Kate quiz? Because, yes.
I feel like everyone is doing a "I clean this certain room of my house and redecorate" like bro, it makes me want to redecorate my entire house and deep clean it.
Hahaha we got nothin' better to do in quarantine I guess 😂
First was the bread making phase, and now everyone has become interior designers
Quarantine has been long enough that I've already deep cleaned my whole apartment and then let it get dirty again 😂
Bro I’m literally redoing my room I’m currently taking a break cause it’s dusty as fuck and I needed to clean myself too not just my room lol
How many globes do you want?
Rachel: Yes.
Globes are amazing, i like he really old ones
Lea Imhof they are! Just absolutely beautiful to look at.
I, too, need all the globes
Yes
Even if it's the wrong era, I can so see the telescope in that room. At least until Rachel gets a vintage scope...
I love the fact that you’re doing all of that in gorgeous outfits while I would be weeping the same gross shirt the whole week through 🥰🥰
This is such a cool video, Rachel! Since you used a dressing trunk instead of a coffee table for your sunroom, you could put blankets in it. Then when it gets cold where you live you can just cover up and still use your Victorian jungle room.
It’s like the private promenade on the Titanic where Rose has her morning tea...
Totally!
"I don't want this to be all voice-over."
Literally one second later: Cut to voice-over.
I love you.
Hahaha I mostly meant just voiceover recorded with no "face" to go with it but I feel u
Ah yes demon laughter. Now I can't stop imagining that randomly playing in the middle of the night.
Put the telescope in the empty spot ☺️ Such an adorable room, love it so much!
I was thinking the same thing. At least until Rachel finds a more vintage scope. ☺️
I'm the small child that insists on befriending every animal
Hahahaha he just like hops on them all or grabs them out of the trees 😂😂😂
@@rachelmaksy ah, perfect
My significant other states that I have a nice collection of animals in boxes but it weirds my SO out to think about too much.
That whiskey in the globe was my favorite touch. Out of all the things that people may do to achieve the vintage aesthetic... this absolutely rules.
Hehehe❤️❤️❤️
Whiskey in a teacup. 💜
@@rachelmaksy Where can I get one tho?
@purzum - The globe? Google the model number shown on the box, I guess?
@@MattyMullinsMicrowav Design Toscano carries a globe that opens to a bar. In Rachel's video the box the globe came in says "Costway".
Absolutely love this aesthetic!! I’m in the process of redoing my bedroom into more of a Victorian...botanical..industrialish..thing. It’s been very hard for me to clearly define the aesthetic so I’ve been losing motivation, but watching this transformation totally inspired me to get back to it!
Why is this also my style
Personally I find is unrealistic to have a room be purely a single aesthetic cos I love many different vibes and I need it to be functional as well which sometimes that to trump aesthetic. Also a mix feel so much more interesting and individual
The little tip-of-the-hat to cribs made me lol literally. Which I don't do often. I love the make over.
I love your outfits in this video, they're like "she's cute, but she can also use power tools"
My aesthetic tbh
Love that
Aah this is entirely the "1910's explorer" aesthetic of my dreams. Or elegant young things in the 20's, lounging around the bungalow and discussing the murder, or hunting, or something. And hey I have a trunk like that, it's still holding all my old college kitchen stuff, and has been appropriated by my dad to hold the DVD player and Roku and whatever else he's acquired, so I need to steal it back when I need a coffee table again. Yeah, don't paint the walls, the white makes it seem more jungle-ey and bright, like a sunroom should be! (also I totally need one of those liquor cabinet globes in my life.)
I have to agree. I looooove this so much! I'd love a good 1920s murder-mystery-sleuth room. This video has got me inspired to finally DO SOMETHING with my screened in porch. It already partially looks like the interior of some jungle tent. LOL
That you have your grandmother's house is so special. This was a fun room makeover to watch. (Much more fun to watch you than do the work myself! Grin)
the fact that i can remember the stage of quarantine this came out in,,,,,, it feels like literal years ago tf
I love all the variation in your content! We get vintage, costuming and cosplay, makeup and now EXTREME HOME MAKEOVERS
Hahaha thank you!!!
If I may give a recommendation for the empty space between the bar and library: a wicker dogbed!
The room looks great!
That's a terrific idea!!!!
With cushion to match the new pillows!
Cool. I was thinking more plants but dang thats a good idea
And I was thinking a nice comfy chair.....to sit right next to the place to get trashed!
Love this ‘reimagining’ of a somewhat neglected catchall into a quirky fun Victorian sunroom retreat. Thanks for the non-beige-ness.
I'm redecorating my bedroom in an enchanted forest theme with my loft bed as the "treehouse," and I keep coming back to this video for inspiration because it turned out so gosh darn aesthetic!
"Mildred and her initials are very relatable. Meh"
Made me laugh
Well... my aesthetic is apparently “Jungle-Tree-House-Swiss-Family-Robinson-Kind-Of-Vibe-Minus-The-Small-Child-Who-Insists-On-Befriending-Every-Single-Wild-Animal-And-For-Some-Reason-The-Family’s-Ok-With-It.” Hmmm I think Google’s gonna have a hard time helping me with that one. 😂 . Nevertheless, I love your sunroom, it’s so light and airy and beautiful.
Stop picking on Frances! 😥
Boho cottagecore
Elisa Finlayson Google: “British Colonial” for this aesthetic.
Rachel is living out my dream aesthetics and I’m seriously jealous
Re-watching in the fall, and thinking that this room will be a balm to the soul once the snow starts coming down...
I would like one day to have a vintage library. With a giant map on one of the walls, a wind rose on the floor, globes and previous navigation equipment. God willing (and hopefully).
Gostaria de um dia ter uma biblioteca vintage. Com um mapa gigante em uma das paredes, uma rosa dos ventos no piso, globos e equipamentos de navegação anterior. Se Deus quiser (e tomara que queira).
Like a study or library? I would either like to live in a small house, or a very large house that has alot of stone and wood in and around it, a library/study, gardens and just beautiful antiques everywhere, or at the very least, looking like Rivendell!!!😁❤
WITH A GLASS ROOF/SKYLIGHT
That would be a dream 😍
Is that Portuguese?
my dream exactly!
"Minus the small child who insists on befriending every wild animal"
Me: *is personally offended*
I mean have you seen the movie? He literally rips them away from their natural habitat to try to ride them or tame them 😂😂😂 he's the worst
I wonder if they kinda just worked the befriending animals bit into the script because this actor is like that in every movie I have seen him in😆
Also, as a mom to 3 boy children I can confidently say that it's less of a let and more of a try and stop them when it comes to just about anything they set their minds to😀😬🙄
Haha I believe you, wasn't really a comment about parenting and more about how he literally trapped a baby elephant so he could use it as a plow 😂😂😂
Haha, so we're using the term befriending loosely here.
Me xd
Who could possibly dislike this video? Love the room's vibe and your personality
11 months later and I finally realized why I love this so much. Its like the Magic Kingdom jungle cruise aesthetic of my dreams.
"This plant, I dont remember..."
THAT IS A POTHOS AND THEY ARE MAGICAL
I WISH I COULD HAVE ONE but I also have a catttt :'(
Okeee . . .
THEY ARE. I HAVE 3 AND I LOVE THEM.
GOLDEN POTHOS ARE BEAUTIFUL
Pot-ho lmao mood
Gramophone record: Shows my two personalities living in harmony
I have just spent over an hour watching all of your home improvement videos and it’s so nice to see everything coming together
"But make [the pillows] vintage."💖💖
The sunroom is glorious! I love it so much!
This makes me want my forever house soooo bad even though I have no idea how to decorate, haha.
Me too.🌼
Me too. Problem for me is that I really love traveling. I’m not even in high school yet, but I’ve never really found a place that feels like home.
When u decorate but stuff make u happy and give u a smile or something that reminds u of better time in your life and u favorite colors. Also just do one corner at a time and move out wards. That how I do it and my little house makes me happy. It was my childhood home and I love my house. You will find it or it will find u. Lol it that makes sense.
@@dizzylizzy225 SAMEE but I'm in college now. I gotta play this game right to get cash to live my best life😭🦋
@Dana A-N thank you!
This is really making me want to get a house and have a sunroom like this and like a huge library. I blame series of unfortunate events tbh. The reptile room is def a huge inspiration for me and this video reminds me a lot of it :'D
I CONCUR
Damn the reptile room is my dream house lmao
omg the Reptile Room aesthetic is EVERYTHING
YESSS
the natural light is so bright!
What a beautiful place to live everyday 🐝🦋
The finished room is exactly what I imagined this room looked like before you zoomed out in the beginning of the video.
this is everything I have ever wanted, I can’t express how much I love the aesthetic
🤗❤️❤️❤️
I have watched this video like once a month since you’ve posted it. It’s my new comfort video 🍪✨
Me too!! It's just so cozy and soothing
Sameee this is my fourth time watching it. So comforting 💚
These cleaning videos are so satisfying, I've been a kinda-minimalist for nearly a year and I have nothing left to clean, so sad :(
the other side of that record sounds like a horrible rendition of the “laughing policeman”. proper nightmare fuel.......
It kinda reminds me of that vintage audio for children titled "Santa Claus is hiding in your phonograph"
@@lobeliaowl2482 Oh, good God
Someone fill me in
I think it's the Okeh Laughing Record, a classic from 1922. Yes, it's a real thing, and was a big hit. It sounds so weird now, but it was one of the first of that kind of novelty records, and, without that, no Dr. Demento, no Weird Al.
@@DS-uh6ss yes I remember listening to it years ago in New Zealand on the radio. You could call the station to request songs or stories, etc, and one of them was The Laughing Policeman
I feel like everyone here is just dying to be Rachel's friend. She seems like that one buddy you can be an absolute weirdo around and not be judged for it. Digging the A E S T H E T I C of this room! You inspire me to get back to being creative. I think my next fun little project is going to be your Coraline doll, so thanks! Love from neighboring NY.
"I've watched a few videos of it, so that means I'm an expert" 100% me lol. haha
You put in place pretty well the flooring and even a pro would had have some space as you did and that's one of the reason why we usually install molding (to hide those kind of details). For the echo, you can help reduce it by adding fabric (curtains, carpet, cushions, etc.) or more soft surface.
Just when I thought Rachel's videos couldn't get any more therapeutic, she does interior design and banishes some of the eternal anxiety I am feeling at the moment ❤❤❤
Literally me
Defiantly agree! was thinking of watching this video again in the future as a pick-me-up:D
@@jasminemoreno2881
That is me right now! 😋
I have spent the last three days in a deep depression, having panic attacks, etc. And this was so, so, so calming to watch.
I haven't really got out of the bed in three days but watching you work, do things with your hands is always a good reminder of how much I used to love doing that and by association, makes me feel better. Thank you!
Whoa, Betty J that is no good. I hope that watching videos of lovely young people like these lifts your spirits and helps you on the way up. AndI encourage you to get some help if you need it. Health professionals are doing online consults.
same over here, betty. hope we get out of our slumps. all the best!
Hope you're feeling better, I'm going through the same thing currently. We'll find happiness and calm again, every obstacle is a blessing eventually. Keep safe ❤
I wish you all the best, love you man ❤️
@@mary554 thank you Mary, same to you 💙
This is the kind of thing I've been hoping to go for in one of my rooms. This gives me hope I can pull it off 😊I adore your little sofa/loveseat? I have a mighty need
It was chic-cluttered, and now it's just chic. Brava.
I wish cleaning was actually as fun as it looked like on UA-cam.
True I think it's the cute music and the fast forward feature.
Add telescope (star gazer, I don’t know what’s it called )in empty space .
I think that is a good idea.
Yes! And wrap some leather with brass around part to cover the logo
every so often i come back to this video. it hits every time.
10:42 *TERIFFYING LAUGHING* 🤣🤣🤣
RACHEL : I THINK I CURSED 🤣
You could drape panels of tobacco cloth on the ceiling to give it an “inside of a tent” look!
I've seen that used in hotels and they look GORGEOUS with palm plants and wood. It really breathes life into the room.
The new englander jumped out in the way you say "room"
Hahaha does it?
Rum
Haha yeah!
I’m from New England and I thought that’s how everyone says it 😭
Whaa??? Never realized we say it weird. It's just room lmao
It turned out amazingly. I love that you are able to live in your grandmother ‘s house. If my grandparents hadn’t lived in Florida near Miami I would have loved to live in their house. Just not a fan of the heat and humidity down there and it is bad enough here in NC.
This looks so cozy! I can only imagine lounging in this room with a book and cup of tea...
Me clicking on this video: oh I love this room it's so pretty, I wonder Rachel doesn't film in here more.
Me when she zooms out: oh.
😂😂😂😂😂 exactly
I usually don't like live action BUT THIS tarzan live action is so beautiful!
I am in love with your antique sofa! Gorgeous piece!
It's nice to see such a youngling enjoying Victorian life. I had thought passion was dead.
Your first cleaning outfit reminds me of Lucy or Ethel in later seasons on I Love Lucy when pants became ok housewear. (It helps that you have Ethel’s oval face shape and Lucy’s red hair)
😂❤️❤️❤️
I laughed so hard at M.E.H. - had to stop and explain to my fiance why I was laughing so much. Such a great find and perfect for the aesthetic!! Well done!
Me too! I woke up my husband laughing and had to explain to him where he promptly fell back asleep!
same 😂
My initials are M.E.H. and I love to surprise people with that fact if we're ever discussing names!
I have my subtitles on and it said at 15:08 “Get Trashed Corner” *pause for laughter*🤣🤣🤣
Wow - transformation! Yay grandmother memories.
Oh Rachel!!!! You did such a great job!!! And the phonograph bit had me laughing so hard. I just want to know the thought process of the guy that went "Yeah, lets put sinister laughter on the other side of the record. That''ll be cool.". 😂
😂😂❤️❤️❤️ right?
I feel like they had to have done that for anyone with a haunted house, or Halloween set up, since its always a vibe to have a creepy haunted gramophone
I reckon someone just misplaced their tormented soul collection in the gramophone.
@@weliveinasociety4629 Hmmm! Good Point!
@@CocoaHerBeansness Bwhaaaa!!! Now I have a picture of this stressed out intern rushing around to find this record.
That plant looks like a pothos or "devil's ivy" (named for their being extremely hard to kill).
NICE 😂❤️
Lol...I scrolled through the comments bc I knew there had to be another plant "nerd" in here somewhere honing in on those plants like I was...and I figured I'd find someone else who also thought it was some type of pothos!!!
Yup, that's what I came here to say too! Pothos! It's also called 'money plant' in South Asia coz it's supposed to bring prosperity. 😌
It is likely Epipremnum aureum, a very common household plant (ours is over 25 years old!). Apparently it is commonly referred to as pothos in english, since it was once assigned to that genus. (I'm not a native English speaker and in my native language it has a different trivial name. I have a hard time matching up common names and scientific names in English, so I can't speak to whether the previous commenters and I mean the same plant.)
Yes! I love them because I only have to remember to water once a week and to prune the dead off of it.
Looks lovely!!!!!!!Thanks for not abandoning the victorian sofa to the local charity as it would likely join the eight or nine others in my garage! A beautiful transformation!
Hope you dont mind me asking, but what are those style of sofas called? I'm looking for something in that style and without the name i'm just getting chesterfields lol
The way you say room is so cute. 🥰 I love how you talk it’s so soothing.
Super happy about this. If I could live my life in a Victorian conservatory I most definitely would! Fun fact, my husband proposed to me at the Swiss Family tree house at Disney World! The room looks sensational! Well done!
OMG It's beautiful!! 😍😭💀 I wish I had a sunroom like this in our house, but we live in SoCal so that's not really a common feature in houses, since it would probably just turn into a literal oven in the summer. One small recommendation: If you haven't already, make a copy of the picture of your great-grandma, and keep the copy in the frame and the original in a photo album somewhere. With that much sunlight in the room, old photographs like that would get bleached out pretty quickly.
Flipping incredible job on this sun room!! Perfect room for a good book and coffee...and quiet.
Very beatifull, especially sofa and suitcases.
I’ve been waiting for this! I want to do this to my living room, but I’m sixteen so clearly, not my house to design. I’ve made my room a time machine though! 1940’s-50’s vibes all the way!
I love love love the way you narrate your dog. "Drive-by mlem" made me laugh out loud. I can't believe you did all this in a week. I wish I could say your motivation helped to motivate me, but I think I'll just watch more UA-cam.
Heehee thank you lovely!!! Making videos definitely helps me with motivation 😂😂 I totally would have kept putting it off otherwise
Yeah the motivation involved is the most impressive to me! We have been in our house for almost a year and after refinishing some wood floors ourselves we lost alllll momentum. But we are trying! My father in law is downsizing and we are getting some cool pieces from him.
I am so freaking happy that I found you! You have my EXACT aesthetic, all the way down to the Artemis bust!
I can relate to the junk room... our front room has transitioned from a library to a kids playroom to a game room to its current iteration as a kid desk setup & boardgames display /geek space. But always, it's been where garbage and recycling, packages, furniture boxes, and donations land. Currently also housing both Christmas and Halloween decorations and leftover construction material. This gives me hope that can clean it up again too : ) Hope you enjoy your awesome space!! It's so rewarding when you have a zone just the way you want it :)
