For those asking, the custom bookshelf is from MYCS and here's my review (unsponsored)! Pros: - Fully customisable including the width, height, 2 depth to choose from, where to put drawers & cupboards and even backing - Pretty easy to build once you understand the concept - Many colours to choose from. We have oak veneer that looks pretty in natural lighting Cons: - Not that modular since each shelf is specific to the customisation - Takes 2 people to build - Quality doesn't meet expectations when you think about the price (little things like glue peels at the edges, raw plywood drawers) Frustrations: - Long delivery time with delays (It said 7 weeks, but took 15) - Not the best customer service. When we emailed about the delay, they just kept saying they have no materials in the warehouse - Parts were missing or wrongly shipped (We still can't install our drawers because the wrong sliders were sent) Overall, despite the frustrations, we don't regret the purchase since we needed something customizable to accommodate the wall vent, and we bought it at 40% off (Watch out for sales!) It looks great and has plenty of storage too 😊
Thanks for this review. I was wondering about getting shelving from MYCS, but I was concerned about the quality. I bought a customised sofa from them before and I love it despite feeling like the legs could have supported the sofa better. I have a Frame TV and a few hanging pictures for a gallery wall but I think it needs some more rustic looking shelving to keep the apartment looking too modern only. Love the way it looks in your place.
It looks so good. I like the window covering - it sort of brings out the 70s vibe of the built ins but its also airy and light with the plants and colours. :) really homey
If you find your plants aren’t getting enough sun, try double curtains. I use lace in one layer for privacy while allowing almost full sunlight, with blackout curtains I can pull over them at night. 🪴😊☀️✨
I agree. Sheer curtains for privacy during the day and heavier curtains at night. Or translucent top down bottom up blinds. Shoji would be even better. 😊
wow! girl, your home fixing skills never fails to impress me. i live in a tiny apartment and i am so afraid of screwing up! your videos are giving me inspiration.
Το έφτιαξες πολύ όμορφο αλλά το φιλμ είναι σαν να υψωσες ένα τοίχος με τον έξω κόσμο στο λέω αυτό και ζητώ συγγνώμη αν σε στεναχωρώ γιατί εγώ δεν έχω τόσο φώς ❤ από Ελλάδα
Love the window covering!!! Its created a really soft illuminating light yet offers full privacy, a must for me. Whole dining room makeover is lovely. ❤
I would personally use the window film only on the 'eye level', leaving the bottom half and possibly some of the top uncovered (kind of like those blinds that move up and down). This would give you more privacy, but would still leave you some of the view and a bit more unfiltered light 😊But I also keep my windows uncovered 99% of the time, so I might be a bit biased 😅
I like what you did with the dinning room. The shelves are very nice. I can understand wanting privacy. I think the frosted windows are a good solution. Your puppy is so cute. The paw thought the gate got me. It's like she was saying I miss you mom.
Οτι κάνεις το κάνεις τέλειο. Συγγνώμη δεν συμφωνώ με τα τζάμια. Υπάρχει φιλμ καθρέφτης που μπορεις να χρησιμοποιήσεις. Την ημέρα βλέπεις εσύ έξω αλλά δεν σε βλέπουν. Την νύχτα τραβας τις κουρτίνες. Το σκυλάκι σας είναι μια κούκλα! Χαιρετισμούς από Ελλάδα 😘
The new wall unit looks very nice, tons of storage. Window film - my opinion - I would remove the top 1/3 to be able to view the sky, see the weather, no one could see in that high, let in more light.
Das Bedürfnis nach Privatsphäre kann ich gut nachvollziehen. Die Wahl zu einer Plastikfolie auf den Scheiben so gar nicht. Es gibt hochwertigere und variable Lösungen die zum Rest auch von der Ästhetik her viel besser passen würden. Mal sehen ob die Folien nicht doch recht schnell wieder verschwinden werden ... 😊😅
I personally love window film and I think it looks great in your space. I love the mood your space gives! I'm currently in the middle of renovating and decorating my house and can't help but wish I had your skills and eye! 😝 Thanks for sharing the video, it's inspiring!
An older lady who lives in my complex is a peeping busy-body, who freaks my kid out. So we have been using window film for years. Who cares what other people think? 😅
I don’t care about privacy. I would have personally just put some plants in pots outside for more privacy. I know you can get reflective film for windows so people can’t see in but you can see out clearly.
I personally love watching nature, especially sunset or blue sky with white clouds. So I probably won’t cover the window. But it’s also true I also want privacy, there this window film that can make your window turn invisible during the day and only visible if you turn light on. Maybe I will consider that, or putting some lace curtains, because my love seeing sky is bigger than privacy to be honest 😅
Love the video think it uses the space a lot better! Only think Id change maybe try to use more modern vases when changing them seeing those old vintage vases get changed made me a little sad lol
I love your calming videos! And the shelves are beautiful. But oh dear, as a ceramicist myself, that final thrifted jug with the flower decoration was gorgeous and classic. If that was studio made, meaning it was made by a ceramicist rather than a big box store (you can tell from the bottom) then it was very beautiful, a fine work, and worth preserving! If it's real you could get the paint etc off it in time. I know the method of painting ceramics, but my goodness please try to do it with big box ceramics rather than amazing studio pottery!!!
Como eu disse anteriormente, adoro ver seus trabalhos, me inspira porque estou sempre fazendo trabalhos manuais de reforma etc. Se posso dar uma dica da próxima vez que for fazer esse efeito com a laca na cor latão tente usar uma esponja de lavar louça, aquele lado mais aspero , deixa com aspecto mais envelhecido e também pode usar para dar esse aspecto batido (rústico) nos vasos, fica bem legal. A película nas janelas ficou linda , ótima escolha. Obrigada pelos vídeos ❤😊🥰
So sorry if this been asked before, have you made up videos particularly your curtain installation ? I like the one in this video, if you could share where did you get and high ceiling installation tips, it will be highly appreciated. Thanks Hillary.
Mine is from here - amzn.to/48Rd0hT but I wouldn't recommend it if you plan to anything but sheer curtains, they are quite thin and not the strongest! We put the curtains up in the last dining room makeover video, but I didn't have any particular tips to share 😅 Our ceiling isn't really high, it's only 2.4m!
Wow, your dining room makeover is stunning! 😍 The DIY aged ceramics and brass frame add such a classy touch. Inspired to try something similar for my space. Great job! 🌟🛋
I wondered if the plants would provide enough screening/privacy. I expect you already considered if they get enough light with the window film I have a shrub outside my window that functions as a privacy screen. It's getting a bit too dense now and is blocking too much light so I'm thinking of planting some bamboo, perhaps in containers, to give a foresty vibe while giving me privacy and enough light.
Love it! Beautiful job designing that wall piece... makes me miss having a schrank. And good for you for going with the window film you love; you're the one living with it!
This room looks so peaceful and cozy. I, for one, would definitely love to spend time here! Absolutely wonderful and beautiful 💜 and the window film looks amazing! For some reason I feel like it creates a little oasis of peace :)
As usual, your DIY turned out beautifully! I like the window vinyl, too, and was hoping you would pick that one. I put vinyl on the small window in our bathroom. I had plastic white blinds in there, and with the humidity from the shower, it was impossible to keep them clean, OR to clean them. It gives us privacy, and light and I love it. Keep the videos coming. Love your work.
Window film is so practical, i hate neighbors staring into my place, window films means i get natural light. I have my thin curtains drawn all the time and the result makes it less bright, yes they are thin but they dont get enough sun light through. I am so happy you did a good window film it makes such a difference to get natural light👌❤️
I love your videos, you're an inspiration. Your DIY skills are just 🤌 Today I had to drill two simple holes in the wall to mount my pegboard and I mucked it up 😂😂😅
window film is a lovely alternative affordability wise, i'd prefer to get stained glass ANYTHING but it's also highly expensive and not within an average budget (esp if living paycheck to paycheck or a decent salary)
Haha ! I just watched how you made this living room, and now UA-cam suggested how you demolish it and make a new one. 😅Am I the only one who is stuck with the same living room for 8 years already…..😮
very beutiful results!! i also noticed that your plants are in such great health! did you ever think of making a plant care or advice video? my own are looking especially sad now, swedish winter is really not gentle to houseplants :(
la libreria è stupenda... i vasi materici che hai realizzato sono meravigliosi... la tua piccola cagnetta 🐕 però è ciò che di più bello abbia mai visto ❤ ps cosa dici se come prossimo progetto vai a rinnovare anche i vasi delle tue piante invece di lasciarli così "basici"?

Lace has the same effect on the light
That’s what I do!
I’m all about the privacy! It’s the most important part of being home and feeling safe. Love the changes!
A cloudyhills video to lay down and watch before bed~ :D I look forward to seeing what beautiful DIYs you create this time!

Don't worry, we have so many windows so it doesn't feel blocked off 😄
If you want the privacy while letting more light in, you can always experiment with only covering the bottom half of your windows
Cloudyhills uploads new video and I watch it unconditionally. 🥰
you could do the window film 3/4 of the way up, so people can't see in but you can still see the clouds ;)
It looks amazing! I love how you styled the shelves. And Juno is so adorable. 🐶 ❤ Thank you for sharing the makeover!
She is the cutest little helper 🐾
I have prism rainbow film and when the sun catches it I get rainbows all over my room! I love window film and everything in this room looks so great!

Absolutely! And at the bottom aswell. It would make me feel kinda cadged
We've sooo many other tall windows that look out to the sky so it doesn't feel too claustrophobic ☁️
Honestly I think everything turned out just perfect .. I actually like the window film ... it makes everything look very cozy and warm❤
I always look so forward to your videos. So calm and relaxing.
You have an excellent supervisor! So cute! ❤
Um lar abençoado!

What a lovely cozy home. Love all your plants 🪴 so healthy looking and beautiful ❤️
How beautiful ❤ we’re planning on doing a similar built in look atm in our townhouse here in Singapore. I can’t wait.
Whoohooo another cloudyhills chill vid!
Beautiful space! Where is your dining table from?

Do what is best for you 💕 We either go into our backyard or look at the sunset from our kitchen window ☺️
It looks good. But too many things :(
Love the video think it uses the space a lot better! Only think Id change maybe try to use more modern vases when changing them seeing those old vintage vases get changed made me a little sad lol
It's okay, they were trashed by others and given new life in our home ☺️
You're so talented, everything you do turns out so well. Those shelves look lovely. The window film looks good too.❤

esp knowing you are in Germany which has so many fine ceramicists and classic imd-century pieces like that!
Don't worry! I always check :) It's big box and I got it for 50cents at the thrift store
@@cloudyhills amazing! Thank you!
Your home looks so nice!

Love your new shelves! And Juno is such a patient and well-behaved puppy when you’re doing the shelves, can’t love her more❤
She's also extra well-behaved when the camera's out. I think she's very aware of it 😂
can you pls the brand of the your ice making machine that appears in other episode? Thank you.
here :) amzn.to/3wxDY0A
I wondered if the plants would provide enough screening/privacy.
I expect you already considered if they get enough light with the window film
I have a shrub outside my window that functions as a privacy screen. It's getting a bit too dense now and is blocking too much light so I'm thinking of planting some bamboo, perhaps in containers, to give a foresty vibe while giving me privacy and enough light.
It has been over a month, and they seem to be very happy with the amount of light! 😊
That's great ... I guessed you'd considered it! @@cloudyhills
OHMYGOD YOU'RE PUPPY. My favorite dog breed, I want one so bad :)
Everything looks really beautiful!!! The film0:37 m on the windows is brilliant 👏👏👏
Love it! Beautiful job designing that wall piece... makes me miss having a schrank. And good for you for going with the window film you love; you're the one living with it!

Your doggy is soooo cute 🥹🥹🥹
I love the window film you chose! I appreciate the privacy and that it isn't as visible when dark and it's pretty.
Window film is so practical, i hate neighbors staring into my place, window films means i get natural light.
I have my thin curtains drawn all the time and the result makes it less bright, yes they are thin but they dont get enough sun light through. I am so happy you did a good window film it makes such a difference to get natural light👌❤️
Where is the bench from?!
I admire your sense of style! Unrealistically inspiring, and June is simply lovely, thank you for another portion of beauty and inspiration!)
I didn't know I could enjoy your videos any more, and then you got the most adorable little puppy!!!
Try dry brushing next time you want an aged or distressed look! It saves you the step of sanding :)
Liked the video before even watching it coz I know it's gonna be frickin beautiful and thoughtfully edited.
Loved this!! Your home is so calming and feels very collected. That new wall unit is stunning!
I love the new bookcase, it looks great and I love all the added storage. You always do a nice job with styling shelves. Beautiful space ❤
hello..this video is so relaxing and inspiring at the same time...thank you
btw, can you tell me where did you get the pot for the plant in 8:32😀
It's from Hagebaumarkt ☺️
@@cloudyhills thank you for the answer :)
If you showed nothing but the puppy I would have been happy. What a precious baby.
What a productive day you have today! Have a great weekend...
I loved how the window film turned out so much!! It's such a pretty addition to the room and it really enhances it!
🤗🤗🤗
Looks great! And love how you styled all the shelves ❤
Thank you!!! I spent the whole weekend figuring them out 😂
Wish you had added the bit of you styling the shrelves too
I wish I had too! My camera batteries were empty and I forgot I could use my phone to timelapse, dang it!
Não conhecia essa película para colocar em vidros e adorei! Muito mais privacidade. Amei cada detalhe ❤
me encanta ver tus videos, aparte de hacerlo todo precioso, desprenden paz
I love your videos, you're an inspiration. Your DIY skills are just 🤌 Today I had to drill two simple holes in the wall to mount my pegboard and I mucked it up 😂😂😅
It just takes a bit of practice!
Loved your decision making, do it for yourself not social media ❤
Looks good! But it would look better if you could see out a little more from your windows 👌🏼
I love it 🫶
May I ask what music you use for your videos?
Epidemic Sound :)
window film is a lovely alternative affordability wise, i'd prefer to get stained glass ANYTHING but it's also highly expensive and not within an average budget (esp if living paycheck to paycheck or a decent salary)
I searched high and low for affordable stained glass or even stained glass film but to no avail 🥲
I can understand why you wanted privacy.
are you guys raising your doggo bilingual? x
yes! 😊 Or maybe trilingual? I'm throwing in some mandarin here and there too haha
Ha quedado muy acogedor a disfrutarlo ❤!!
Bellissima casa , rilassantissima . Bravissima la padrona di casa .
Haha ! I just watched how you made this living room, and now UA-cam suggested how you demolish it and make a new one. 😅Am I the only one who is stuck with the same living room for 8 years already…..😮
very beutiful results!! i also noticed that your plants are in such great health! did you ever think of making a plant care or advice video? my own are looking especially sad now, swedish winter is really not gentle to houseplants :(
I made one before, but 2 years ago and we gave away lots of those plants when we moved. Maybe I can do an updated one 😊
This bookshelf is stunning!!!!
Translate Indonesian please :))))
Omg look stunning,,may i know the this neu furniture you just samble please ❤
It's from MYCS :)
右邊的窗花看起來很台灣風
Ottimo lavoro!!
Tutto molto bello!!!
You did such a good job ! I love it ❤
Ficou perfeita! 😍
Love this!! What songs/artists do you listen to? Love how calming it is ❤
Currently I love Jesse Barrera!
Brasil😊 Amo ❤ canal
Sehr schön geworden 😊 Deko auch die Vasen auch 😊 der Schrank sieht auch toll aus 😊 Dankeschön für das Video ❤️ deine Pflanzen sind sehr schön🪴🪴🌵
danke dir 💕
The song when your painting the vases was SO SAD!!!!
Great video! I always get so excited when you post!!
I loved the b-roll btw. Those were great shots! Thank you for being so inspiring :)
It really tugs at the heartstrings doesn't it 🥲
It’s beautiful ❤
Soo cozy~❤❤❤
That's the goal!!!
Great work, love the result
Muito bonito 😘
la libreria è stupenda... i vasi materici che hai realizzato sono meravigliosi... la tua piccola cagnetta 🐕 però è ciò che di più bello abbia mai visto ❤
ps cosa dici se come prossimo progetto vai a rinnovare anche i vasi delle tue piante invece di lasciarli così "basici"?
I love terracotta pots though 🥲
@@cloudyhills anche io 🤣😂 qui in Italia, a Firenze, ho un grande orcio per la mia Sansevieria ❤
Bellissimo risultato! ❤
Great job!
Wow!
Amazing 🤗
Sooo talented ❤
man, this is really nice + what a calming and relaxing space!
thank you 😊
