Loved it all, the only thing I would mention is the table at the end of the bed. Someone might hit their leg on the front edge of the table as they round the corner to get to their side of the bed. Maybe not, but that is the only minor critique I might mention. LOVE the color palette. And, I love these older videos with Tommy and Sarah together…such great chemistry.
Sarah is an extremely talented designer. Her attention to how people live best in their rooms is one of her greatest strengths in reality. Highly intuitive; she sees what we cannot, & quickly.
Lovely! Even on those rare occasions when I wouldn't choose Sarah's style for myself, I always enjoy watching the process, appreciate her bargain methods and splurge ideas, and recognize her talent. To me, wallpaper is a big commitment, but I like this one. The foot of the bed table /bench is making my shins cringe. I would have changed the hardware on the dresser, bench and side tables - maybe some crystal or even ceramic, and I find the picture frames to be quite cool in tone for the rest of the room. I was surprised she didn't paint the chair legs ;)
The room became an elegant retreat. The vintage furniture was perfect. I didn’t really care for the artwork that was chosen but overall I think it was a great makeover.
Great example of patterns, textures, lines adding lots of interest to a very subtle, neutral palette. I was hoping it'd still have lavender the owner likes and it does. I see there's ways to get lavender in there in small ways that still have an impact. Very soothing room. Cohesive without being matchy-matchy. I like how much focus was on finding bargains then remaking them. Not my personal style at all but I appreciated watching this all unfold. The owner seemed happy and it still seems soft and romantic like the original was but modernized.
I have always loved watching your videos. This transformation is breathtaking. Even though the earlier room was pretty , it was a bit dated and fussy. The current makeover is truly timeless and classy. Something that Sarah and Tommy are so good at doing. I loved it !!
Katef...the original color scheme reminds me of an article I read many years ago, when the Women's Institute in Ireland (maybe '50's?) invited a speaker to tell them how to decorate a BandB ... new concept then. She mentioned the color mauve would look nice, and within a few years, virtually every BandB in Ireland had mauve bedrooms! Cautionary Tale on advice!
Been seeing a lot of shows where they put their bed in front of the window - I can see that if your room is really tight on space. But you can't open the window or operate the blinds without crawling on the bed.
When you said beige, I thought Well...maybe a champagne shade will work, a long as the romantic feel is kept and updated. Glad you kept the art dreamlike instead of modern/ loud. The only thing I wish we could have seen was her initial reaction! Nicely done!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!! Gives me some thoughts for my super small bedroom. It is already in neutrals as is most of the rest of my house but this gives me ideas of how to kick it up a notch. really Enjoyed this one.
Went from Grandma room to a feminine oasis and calming haven. Was a bit worried on the headboard in that it didn't add more older look in there but it worked out great as do the pillows in front of it. Glad you could save the floors and the vintage worked well, glad you didn't paint all of them, ha. The original was too old for her, glad she got to redo her haven.
Love the wall paper. I really think this is the perfect anchor to the room design. So glad you went with the small prints, the other art pieces, not so much! The chairs are amazing and really help the room to look restful and peaceful and definitely classy!
I liked the vibe of the original. Was the ribbon on the sheet not lavender, and actually the same color as the previous walls? Glad they chose the photographs. Neutral is a good balance pairing for color, but it's not stand alone or timeless. This is very 2000's . Especially 'branches' wallpaper. Wished the headboard fabric matched the wing chairs (someone's going to correct me on calling them wing). King sized bed👍.
Linen and lavender, what could be better? At it's so fun to go vintage shopping and upcycle the pieces into the room! I just find that the curvy silhouettes are a bit repetitious: headboard, bedside table legs, seating area chair legs (see 18:31). Then the "bench" legs are spindly and may not take the weight of someone sitting down! Art choices are good.
Honestly! You are a design inspiration!! You, Sarah have such an inbred, ornate talent, it's breathtaking! And you are complemented by Tommy and your team so syncronisley! Is that a word? Anyway, I'm in awe of your style of decorating. You always seem to get it harmoniously right! Just brilliant 👏 👌 😀 👍 😄 🙌 👏
My favorite are the two chairs they look super super expensed, second the table and last the headboard..the paintings mmm I am not sure I probably do two nice photographs printed in acrylic, I almost forgot the two tables with the mirros.
Woo ! that is a big transformation for this badroom from grandma to gleam . Thank you Sarah that is good idea for me to transforming my badroom look old and ugly .
Love the room. Didn't love the coffee table bench. Don't think it's strong enough for someone to sit on to use & not pretty enough to just take up space. Sandi
It’s interesting how at one time we can love a certain look. And then a few years later we regard it as unattractive and old fashioned. This is called ‘fashion’. We are thus manipulated by magazines and other media to keep updating and consuming even when we have perfectly good items. Most of us are influenced this way, especially women. So it’s not just the big corporations and elites that are guilty of overusing our planets resources, and contributing to greenhouse gases ( and cluttering up our lives and creating unnecessary landfill and pollution) - it’s all of us. The natural world is paying the price. As will future generations. I’ve been as guilty as anyone but am seeing the truth of it all now. The ‘fun’ of it all is starting to pale as this ‘inconvenient truth’ takes hold.
A room of Blah! It says no one , everyone and anyone can live in this room. Nothing stands out as this is MY room, my comfort zone! Your right, this is a hotel room.
Although many people in larger cities like the hotel room look, just as many of us find it cold and lacking in personality. In a private home there is always some personality, something that speaks of who lives there. This is what I don't like about designers. They think they're always right.
I'm so glad their are pink accents. I'm not into neutrals. Hotels are beautiful but lack personality. I love the overall look but the small prints don't cut it.
I will never be able to sleep with my head under a window. I will feel exposed and insecure. The new colour palette in the room is tasteful and calming.
Would never put a bed in front of a window…I want to look out a window….I want to be able to pull back or close the drapes…just seems so wrong when anyone does this. It’s funny you see designers do this all the time but when it comes to their own houses they NEVER do this…maybe I’m wrong but not with starlight farm either
Pretty, but not functional. The light next to the chairs is too low for reading, so they won't be used for anything except putting on one's shoes. There's no storage next to the bed for tissues, meds, etc. that we want to keep nearby but don't want to see. The table at the end of the bed is a shin-breaker and isn't needed to sit on since the room has chairs already. It's just another surface to collect clutter. I do like the show overall and how they show the craftspeople and their capabilities. But prettiness over function? Not so much.
This is a beautiful room but I just can't even like the art work.... I don't know what would work either. Anyway, LOVE the wall paper and curtains. LOVE LOVE LOVE the sitting area. Not too thrilled with the head board or dresser. BUT that's because I DISLIKE anything "mid -century". I was there - I lived in it. There was nothing pretty about it. The things that are called mid-century now are NOT even close to what it was really like back then.
I feel badly for people who need others to pick “favorite” things for them and then it’s all so boring and reflective of nobody. So this room went from 80s yawn to 2020s yawn and to make it worse it’s referred to as “hotel chic.”
I hear what you’re saying especially in looking at the artwork but the homeowner looked like she was in her 50’s with a grandma looking bedroom. And the not so obvious is - she handed it all over to someone else to do something on a very tight budget. Wouldn’t it be a treat to have a Sarah Richardson glam it up a bit?
King bed by herself? Maybe she’s not about neutral? I like these neutrals in fabric textures. Should’ve the floor been done after the ceiling? Don’t like the framed art. Bedroom is chic but should match better.
Hotels are so bland and soulless - why would anyone want to make their bedroom look like a hotel room? Surely it's better for it to look like a place someone lives and is comfortable, rather than an impersonal place that hundreds of people sleep in while passing through. And what's with all the pointless extra cushions on the bed? They just get in the way and all have to be removed and put back again every time you use the bed. Such a terrible idea. It sure looks beige, bland, and boring to me
The appeal of a "hotel room" look is the calm, peaceful, relaxing atmosphere. You're not going to get a calm, peaceful, relaxing atmosphere with red walls and leopard wallpaper. Keep in mind if you have your entire place to yourself/spouse, you are going to use your other rooms for other things 9like you're not sharing with roommates or family), so your bedroom is pretty much for sleeping. I would say more people would want to be comfortable AND relaxing. You're not going to be in your bedroom 24/7 when you have your entire house for yourself.
@@thehungrygoldfish Each to their own, I suppose but I'd find it depressing to have to retire to such a bland and soulless place each night. I'd also be ashamed to aspire to part of my home looking as impersonal as a hotel room, no matter how "high class."
@@teddy-3765 Then paint the walls a vibrant color and add colorful pillows? Like there's nothing preventing you from doing that. The good thing about having a neutral design is that you can layer on top of it. So keep all the furniture and stuff and just change the accents and voila, a room with personality.
@@thehungrygoldfish Yes, I know I can do it differently for myself, but what I'm having trouble with understanding is why people would want to do it this way. Why anyone would WANT to make a personal space in their home look like the ultimaste in impersonal spaces - a hotel room. It would be like saying, "I'd like to decorate my living room as if it's a corporate space." Mind you, with the number of people who do just that by decorating in grey, perhaps there are more people who want to live in soulless surroundings than I'd hope or expect the world to contain... which is a sad commenttary on the world in general.
@@teddy-3765 Because no one has the exact same taste as you, hon. Everyone is different. They have different tastes, different lifestyles and different needs and wants from you and everyone else. You might want a vibrant, crazy design in your bedroom, but not everyone does. Some people want a relaxing, calming environment, which this is. Yes, it's boring, to you, but for someone else, it's perfect. Like someone else can say, "Omg, I can't believe someone would want pink walls and leopard wallpaper in their bedroom. Yikes!" Like, everyone is different. Not everyone is your clone, hon.
Love Sarah but it always seemed like ‘Sarah 101’ was about designing Barbie’s Dream House in all the episodes with all the color and pattern. Always so feminine.
Loved it all, the only thing I would mention is the table at the end of the bed. Someone might hit their leg on the front edge of the table as they round the corner to get to their side of the bed. Maybe not, but that is the only minor critique I might mention. LOVE the color palette. And, I love these older videos with Tommy and Sarah together…such great chemistry.
Yes, I can only have upholstered corners at the end of the bed. This is non-negotiable for me. My shins tell the story.
The look of the thing at the end of the bed is a dealbreaker for me. Doesn’t fit design wise.
Sarah is an extremely talented designer.
Her attention to how people live best in their rooms is one of her greatest strengths in reality. Highly intuitive; she sees what we cannot, & quickly.
Lovely!

katef loved the soothing artwork....
I like the artwork, but not the frames.
Beautiful, I like your style. I've missed your show on TV. I'm glad I can watch it here. Thank you
This bedroom looks just like the one my parents had in 1988. My mother loved those dried flower wreaths at the time.
Great example of patterns, textures, lines adding lots of interest to a very subtle, neutral palette. I was hoping it'd still have lavender the owner likes and it does. I see there's ways to get lavender in there in small ways that still have an impact. Very soothing room. Cohesive without being matchy-matchy.

I love this room and the dresser Tommy found...just wow!
Sarah and Tommy are the most creative duo. Enjoyed the transformation of this beautiful bedroom. Thanks for sharing🌸
Your super welcome Gabriele - more Sarah and Tommy to come

Or you have an HVAC vent under the window.

Love most of the decor of the room. Give me back my queen bed. Lets go thrifting for prints on the wall, romantic ones.
Love this bedroom so much - and that wallpaper, I love it!
Glad you like it!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!! Gives me some thoughts for my super small bedroom. It is already in neutrals as is most of the rest of my house but this gives me ideas of how to kick it up a notch. really Enjoyed this one.

And the whole thing together..wow spectacular now I want to change my room lol

Last words are just perfect!
I love the new look in the room, but not the bench/table at foot of bed. Very nice work. I always love Sarah’s work.
Superb outcome --- Tommy's dresser was genius!
Right?! Tommy aces it this season
Ohhhhhhhh what a change. Glorious
LOVE the wallpaper!!
Beautiful as always
I liked the vibe of the original.
Was the ribbon on the sheet not lavender, and actually the same color as the previous walls?
Glad they chose the photographs.
Neutral is a good balance pairing for color, but it's not stand alone or timeless. This is very 2000's . Especially 'branches' wallpaper.
Wished the headboard fabric matched the wing chairs (someone's going to correct me on calling them wing).
King sized bed👍.
This design has lasted much better than I thought it would. Much better.
lovely love the wallpaper the color of the pillows and the lamps and ofcourse sarah is just as well put together
I LOVE YOUR ROOMS!
The CHAIRS!
Linen and lavender, what could be better? At it's so fun to go vintage shopping and upcycle the pieces into the room! I just find that the curvy silhouettes are a bit repetitious: headboard, bedside table legs, seating area chair legs (see 18:31).

Awesome🥰Thank you for the new upload, Abode! Love Sarah & her gang (especially in Design Inc.!)
We have some treats up our sleeve! Plenty more Sarah to Come... In the meantime, have you watched Sarah Off Grid? That's My Favourite... Check it Out
@@AbodeHomeChannel I love ALL that you provide of Sarah Richardson and her designs! Am so excited for more!🤩 Thank you!
A beautiful update! kudos to you both.
Honestly! You are a design inspiration!! You, Sarah have such an inbred, ornate talent, it's breathtaking! And you are complemented by Tommy and your team so syncronisley! Is that a word? Anyway, I'm in awe of your style of decorating. You always seem to get it harmoniously right! Just brilliant 👏 👌 😀 👍 😄 🙌 👏
Live the results when you & Tommy put your thinking caps in... So Very Good....
Live should've been 💕 LOVE !!
So Glad You Enjoy Sarah 101 Vivienne!
Perfect . Love the dresser mirror
Love this! So peaceful and interesting at the same time.
Love it!!! I stay tune for everything you do you two work well together.
Love the dresser
Great funny together design team! Results are exquisite.
Glad you think so!
I had all of those pieces of furniture in 1990 for several years.
Stunning.
Wow !! gorgeous Great transformations
So peaceful, love you two. Works!
Wonderful!
Absolutely gorgeous. I want it.
So dreamy and luxurious even though it's on a tight budget
My favorite are the two chairs they look super super expensed, second the table and last the headboard..the paintings mmm I am not sure I probably do two nice photographs printed in acrylic, I almost forgot the two tables with the mirros.
Love what you did to this room. Would love to know the total cost of the makeover??
Love this!
Absolutely beautiful
Beautiful.
Woo ! that is a big transformation for this badroom from grandma to gleam . Thank you Sarah that is good idea for me to transforming my badroom look old and ugly .
U both guys are awesome❤️👍🏻
Just stunning
Beautiful! (Only thing is headboard looks like a DIY project)
Love the wallpaper. Wondering what the name of it is?
Looks beautiful 😍
It's beautiful!
Very nice! I do love reupholstering, but it is very expensive…at least here in San Antonio.
Another winner!
So wonderful
Absolutely gorgeous 👌🏻 I can’t look to my room anymore😅
You can do it!
So beautiful 😍
Can you bleach the sheets with the grosgrain ribbon on it? Will it shrink and pucker?
Love the room. Didn't love the coffee table bench. Don't think it's strong enough for someone to sit on to use & not pretty enough to just take up space. Sandi
When all the beige was being pulled, I thought...oh brother! But it's lovely.
Grandma to Glamma. Tommy! 😂🤣
Wow fabulous after. But the furniture prices!
Sharp! ❤️❤️
Love those two. For some reason the chopped in the middle pillow drives me nuts.
Can you give me the name of the wallpaper. Thanks.
Do you still have your little house on the island Island
Great colors, the headboard not my favorite choice.
Trying to see what the ceiling color is. Did anyone notice?
It’s interesting how at one time we can love a certain look. And then a few years later we regard it as unattractive and old fashioned. This is called ‘fashion’.

OK, then sell everything you own and go and live in the woods.
Is this show from the 90’s? Early oughts?
Why are we not given the total cost at the end of the project?
Because they hate you.

Hate the headbord ... looks outdated already. Love the sitting area.
Where does someone find a person to professionally spray paint furniture?
Afghanistan

My husband thinks that our bedroom is where he can place every oddball piece of art etc that he finds.UGH. At least no one sees it but us.
Would never want my bedroom to look like a hotel.
Why would one want a bedroom look like a hotel room!!!!
I'd have upholstered the front of the headboard, not the backside.
Dare I say that Sarah is a one trick pony?
Have you seen the whole series? She's awesome in all kinds of scenarios...
This is a beautiful room but I just can't even like the art work.... I don't know what would work either. Anyway, LOVE the wall paper and curtains. LOVE LOVE LOVE the sitting area.

Where is Sarah? What's going on?
I'm laughing at the cost of doing all this. It beautiful all the same.
I wouldn't want a room that looks like a hotel.
I loved everything but… the pictures. The walls looked better with nothing. Just my opinion;)
