YAY THE DAY IS FINALLY HERE!!!❤🏡 I hope this video can inspire any decorating your doing in your home! Let me know if you have any questions below!! STAY TUNED FOR THE BIG ANNOUNCEMENT UP NEXT!
I want to install trim work in my house but there's only 2 walls where you'd really see it due to furniture placement. Is it okay to do just one feature wall with trim work?? Or does that look funny
In many countries people rent and don’t buy. I believe it is nice to make the house the way you would like, so you love every minute of it for years to come 🎉
I am happy to see that you let us know where you put your kitty litter. I love pets and it shows that you can have a tidy and designer home even living with your pets!❤
I've rented many very nice homes. I have never been allowed to paint or do any major changes. I find it so interesting that you were allowed to but wow....great job.
I thought you guy brought this place I didn’t realise it was a rental. I bet the owner would love it if they saw it. I’m slowly watching your lake house makeover videos when I have time. It’s turned out great.
Early on when she moved in, she used to emphasize renter friendly solutions in her videos. As time went on, looks like her landlord trusted her to put moulding up.
Dear Kristen, your house is beyond incredible. It is not only that you are an experienced interior designer and have a very sophisticated style that is elegant and cosy at the same time - but the most important aspect is that you love this house and really see it as the home for your future family. You will definitely lead a wonderful family life in there. You are very lucky to have found this house, but your house is even luckier that you and Chris have got hold of it and have turned it into wonderful home.
My favorite part is the backyard.. just dreamy. Oh and the upstairs hidden patio. I just love nice outdoor spaces. You must definitely be the host house every time with that backyard lol
I love your family room. It does make me smile when you say you’ve used bold paint 😊. Those are some pretty lite colors except for the family room which is gorgeous. I wish you had a little more color pop with a darker green or gray. The kitchen maybe ☺️
Ah Kristen, I have devoured every video you have done on this property, but what a thrill to see it all in one go ..fabulous AND its a rental? wow your landlord is going to have people clammering to rent it...really looking forward to the new make over 🥰
Love watching your channel, especially when you show where you got the affordable items that fill your lovely home. Is your fiance actually named Christian too? How cute!!
You did a really great job on your house. I will always come back to your video to get inspiration on design and decor. Thank you Kristen. Hope you have a sweet sweet life in your dream house. I enjoy the outdoor design the most.
Such a stunning home! I love so many things about it, but my favourite moment is perhaps the guest room wall. It's a bold color choice and honestly when I saw. you start painting it on that video, I was questioning how well it would work. But finished it looked absolutely beautiful!
My sister did something similar and guess what? The landlord lowered the rent because he loved it so much , can you believe it. Your home is perfection.
You are so talented & a natural teacher. I have no talent to make such things. I wish that you would market a console unit like the one that you now have. Love it!
It looks amazing I love how you are making it your own.. why not you are living in it and enjoying it ❤ just because it’s a rental doesn’t mean you can make it look beautiful It’s not like you can’t take everything with you if you ever decide to move out. Your landlord is blessed to have you.❤
Totally agree about adding to what you can’t change. When I painted my main area white and put in black highlights, the black and white lighting made sense. The lights certainly didn’t go with the yellowy cream walls, orange TnG (and floor) and pink carpet. The dated lights are on the list to change out one day. You’re lucky to have a landlord that allowed you to do so much.
Your home is stunning! I loved watching all the videos on you transformed every room. You are a very talented lady. Can't wait for the big announcement!
Kristen, I LOVE the entire makeover of your lake home! It is absolutely stunning! From the paint color, the accent pillows, wall art, just everything flows so beautifully from room to room. You should feel extremely proud of yourself for all of your fabulous diy’s you made, especially the entryway table! It is a statement piece! And the way you put a room together is just flawless! ❤ I feel the need to tell you (and stand by you) that I rented the first 2 1/2 years of my marriage. I hung wallpaper, (all with permission) put in new flooring in 2 rooms, painted trim work among other things to make our rental feel “like a home” for us! We have such fond memories from our first home. I am certain that’s exactly what you are wanting to achieve in your home. I can’t say enough, it is so lovely! You are extremely talented with your decorating. I love your style of decorating! Thank you so very much for bringing us into your lake home for a visit. I love all of it! ❤😊🎊🏡🙂❤
I'm so happy the house of your dreams are finished with decorations. I remember year's ago when you purchased it and you mentioned the plans for it. Now you have great news for another I hope, so we'll see the transformation as well. Thank you for sharing.
Kristen i've started following you back in 2020..It's been a while..Wow, you moved forward so much.I enjoyed this video very much❤Many simple and usefull ideas everyone can do.Thank you❤goog luck to you guys❤
I’m a landlord and would do anything for a renter like you. That’s absolutely amazing!!! My interior designer had a personal issue and had to stop working in the middle of the job. I could not find another one so your videos are so helpful as it looks like I need to finish the job myself. Thank you!
Kristen, love Love LOVE! 😍 What is your bedroom accent paint color please? So happy I found you to follow your channel growing! You always make me smile. Thank you! 😊
just love your posts - you are my absolute favorite design professional (and I have a few I watch due to lots and lots of renovation on an old house/property). Much thanks to all your work - makes life so much easier. :-)
Wow what a stunning transformations! The DIY transformations and decor tips shared were so inspiring, and I loved seeing how they turned a simple lake house into a stylish oasis.
You’ve really demonstrated your wonderful design sense with this home! It all flows so beautifully. And I love how you’ve taken the little quirky spaces and turned them to such great advantage. Finally, I couldn’t help noticing that you know how to pronounce “mauve”, lol. So so many people (designers included) mispronounce both mauve and taupe, so when I hear either one pronounced correctly, I notice 😊
It looks amazing,nice flow❤This is the right table for the breakfast nook,very nice!!!What I don't like most is the colour of the kitchen cabinets,they look old and don't much with the update of the breakfast nook,that corner is perfect.Think about it❤
You’ve done an amazing job on your home!! When we rented I always put my own touch on it!! You want the place you live in to feel like your own while you are there!!🥰
You've done such an amazing job with each room. I've watched the progress over time and so fun to see it all in one tour! Your landlord is so lucky to have you as a tenant, I just always assumed it was your property. 💕
Your home is very beautiful and so peaceful! I really really like the Benjamin Moore - Intrigue paint colour and now sitting in my kitchen eyeing my kitchen cabinets haha. Thank you for the lovely tour!
Hi Kristen. Wow! Absolutely beautiful home you have.👌. Loads of very clever ideas I love. Your a very talented, beautiful lady. You always do an overwhelming transformations. Just amazing. Best I've ever seen. Awesome channel and content. 👌. Thank you for sharing. Take care. ❤
It would be great if you'd do a live to give us tips on how to update our spaces. Maybe we could submit some pictures for you to critique and share your expertise on how we could make the space look great. I've got a family room with a fireplace that has uneven cabinets on either side of the fireplace. One cabinet is longer than the other. I'm trying to figure out how to balance out the space. Right now it looks like an eye sore😢.

So excited 😆
I want to install trim work in my house but there's only 2 walls where you'd really see it due to furniture placement. Is it okay to do just one feature wall with trim work?? Or does that look funny
@@marniemonfort7719you could do just one…. but i think it would be worth the effort to do all the walls!
@@KristenMcGowan that's what I was thinking...in the long run things are changing
Love!
You'd be the ideal renter..absolutely stunning! Has the landlord seen what you've done? Wow!
I would imagine that she would have together approval for any changes she made.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kristen, the home exudes an understated elegance and sophistication, without sacrificing comfort or function. Excellent creation.
In many countries people rent and don’t buy. I believe it is nice to make the house the way you would like, so you love every minute of it for years to come 🎉
In Italy rentals very often don't have a kitchen, so you have to buy one, either from Ikea or other shops, there's less vandalism and graffiti here.
I am happy to see that you let us know where you put your kitty litter. I love pets and it shows that you can have a tidy and designer home even living with your pets!❤
Kristen, you've done a beautiful job on this home. Enjoy!
Thank you so much!!
oh I didn't realize it's a rental!! your landlord really lucked out with you as a tenant
he is THE BEST and absolutely loves the house! He said it's never looked so good❤👏🏻☺🏡
Yes I caught that too!!! Living in the US just assumed u purchased it.It looks amazing, especially the back yard!! So cool!!
I wish you rent my place and will be so nice!!
Of course xxx
@@KristenMcGowanmake sure he doesn't put the rent up now you've done so many improvements as it's worth way more!!!!😂
Your home is absolutely exquisite.....just like a beautiful home magazine!!!!!! so cozy and inviting!!!
I'm so excited to see it all together. It's been truly inspirational everything you've done with each and every room.
Oh wow I didn’t know this was a rental! Makes the makeovers that much more special and unique!
She’s definitely building her house right now lol. This is gorgeous
Can you make a video how you hung all your art of different sized in a very coherent way. Will appreciate it
There is more detail on how I hung all of those in my Lake House Living Room Makeover Video! I linked it for you in the description box :)
I've rented many very nice homes. I have never been allowed to paint or do any major changes. I find it so interesting that you were allowed to but wow....great job.

I’m loving all the green. Green is my signature color. Beautiful job!
My favorite part is the backyard.. just dreamy. Oh and the upstairs hidden patio. I just love nice outdoor spaces. You must definitely be the host house every time with that backyard lol
I love your family room. It does make me smile when you say you’ve used bold paint 😊. Those are some pretty lite colors except for the family room which is gorgeous. I wish you had a little more color pop with a darker green or gray. The kitchen maybe ☺️
Your personality always comes out in your creative style. Love every video you make. God bless you and Christian as you share your future together.
Wow, just beautiful. I can't wait to see what you do with a home you own if this is what you do with a rental!!
I've been watching you for years & had no idea you collected vintage cosmetics. LOVE this type of content. Please make more!!!
Ah Kristen, I have devoured every video you have done on this property, but what a thrill to see it all in one go ..fabulous AND its a rental? wow your landlord is going to have people clammering to rent it...really looking forward to the new make over 🥰
I have followed along for each rooms makeover. You're so talented ❤

I have been waiting all week for this video. Congratulations Kristen and Christian!
I can't believe it's a rental. You have one lucky landlord.
My sister did something similar and guess what? The landlord lowered the rent because he loved it so much , can you believe it. Your home is perfection.
I would love to know the brand and color of the walls throughout! Beautiful!
I hope you post your wedding video and any baby announcements... they are such a joy to watch 😊! Congratulations again to you and Christian!
I have a feeling a baby announcement is going to be sooner rather than later... 🤔
You are so talented & a natural teacher. I have no talent to make such things. I wish that you would market a console unit like the one that you now have. Love it!
It looks amazing I love how you are making it your own.. why not you are living in it and enjoying it ❤ just because it’s a rental doesn’t mean you can make it look beautiful It’s not like you can’t take everything with you if you ever decide to move out. Your landlord is blessed to have you.❤
Kristen, I love your channel.
Your home is beautiful and cozy. 😊
The house is a dream, fantabulous 🎉congratulations. Great job.
Congratulations you've made a stunning home Kristen 🏡 ❤️ 😍
Your home is absolutely gorgeous. What a cozy inviting home you have created.
I absolutely loved your Lake House! Your DIY transformations were so inspiring.
beautiful!!. I remember when you moved in to this home. I love your design style, it's so fresh.
You just bought a beautiful home. Living in the house by renting first is a great way to determine if you want to buy it.
What a great idea to put the tiny salt and pepper up for decoration on the storage piece inn the breakfast area. Lovely house from tip to toe!
Absolutely beautiful Kristen you are very gifted. Congratulations on your engagement
Beautiful, all of it but your outdoor spaces and views are extraordinary!
You’ve really knocked it out of the park ❤ This is all so beautiful, I love what you’ve done!
Totally agree about adding to what you can’t change. When I painted my main area white and put in black highlights, the black and white lighting made sense.

I love it Kristen! Absolutely beautiful. Going to try a gallery wall.
Your breakfast nook is so beautiful. I love it much more now than the old way it was. So elegant.
Absolutely breathtaking transformation!
Omg I can’t believe it’s been 3 years already 😮I’ve been there with all those makeovers ❤❤ time flies

You and your fiance made this house a very beautiful home!! Renting or owning you need to make your home beautiful and comfortable!!
Your home seems very serene, cozy and beautiful! ❤❤❤
Beautiful. I remember when you did the seating area in the kitchen with that small table. This one is SO much better! Very calming house.
Your home is absolutely beautiful, Kristen. Thanks for sharing!

We have a square covered litter box that has a swinging door. There is an opening on top. It doesn’t smell at all.
Oh yes, I remember some of your rooms as you completed them. Absolutely beautiful. ❤
just love your posts - you are my absolute favorite design professional (and I have a few I watch due to lots and lots of renovation on an old house/property). Much thanks to all your work - makes life so much easier. :-)

Absolutely gorgeous. I am questioning why you invested so much in a rental. I'm hoping the next step is a place you can call your own home.
Your home is gorgeous. So happy for you!
Beautiful place. Your terrace is wonderful.
I loved every single detail of your house!!! question??? what is the paint color on the guest’s bedroom wall behind the bed? Thanks
