How’s this before lockdown in the new office/studio? Not that I care, or will shame you for shopping/filming whatever was the reason of the comment, but I’m legit confused
I agree so much. I can't believe people were actually being critical of the TV in the first place. I'm obsessed with technology too but I hate throwing things out just because they're old. That's so wasteful.
Right? So crazy When i bought a "new" tv (my ex took our old one when he moved out) i just bought an "old" model, the model/design was literally only 2 years old, brand new flat smart tv for only 300$ because it is considered ugly and old fashioned I can't belive people spend 2000$ on that tv
@@trishpipkins yeaah i do't get it. I'm writing in an 11 year old computer that works perfectly fine... what's the deal with HAVING to replace everything?! if it works, you use it, if not, you try to repair it. If not possible, THEN you buy a new one.
@@trishpipkins I know right. If I want to upgrade I either gift it, donate or sell it and I buy second hand when i can. I upgraded my TV but only because of size because 20" was too small but I had another use for my old one. Upgrading for no reason and just chucking it away is so wasteful
Can I just say how much I appreciate that you aren’t just tossing out the TV because it’s not aesthetic enough. It’s so frustrating how common it is to dispose of perfectly good things just because you want something “new.”
I am very glad that you are not replacing a tv (considering how unsustainable the electronic industry and craze is), just because of comments saying so. Why do we have a culture that everyone should spend hundreds if not thousands for a new piece just because it is a bit old. We had our old tv (no flatscreen, that's how old it was) but over 15 years! It worked fine
One of my monitors is around 11 years old and its still going strong. I was going to replace it with my shiny 4k one but then i decided to keep it bc it still works and its just more convenient having 2 i think
Our TV died like two months ago but we had no plans to replace it if it hadn’t broken. We had it for six years which apparently is the shelf life for modern TV’s???
It’s great to hold on to things. I have clothes from 4 decades ago. I like holding on to stuff. My mum claims it’s the Scottish in me. But sometimes, especially with electronic equipment, stuff becomes incompatible. Then it won’t work and it’s darn near impossible to get parts for repair. And it can become more expensive to keep old stuff going than to just go ahead and buy new. The pace of technology is actually accelerating. I don’t particularly like it, but given that it allows us to have not just new, but better equipment and systems, it’s hard to insist that companies forgo better technology in service of longevity. As consumers we should require the companies we buy electronic products from to create more environmentally friendly recycling systems. The newer ultra-thin TVs aren’t just sleek and sexy. They are more energy efficient and because they are lighter they require less fuel to ship----also less packaging. Their lighter weight and smaller depth means they are less of a strain on walls and floors too. Not that it is that big a difference. Those in areas of the world that are prone to lots of small earthquakes, especially those who live in high rises, might care about this feature. Newer TVs are also internet ready. That’s not a big deal if you have phones, laptops, etc that are all capable of accessing the web. Not everyone lives this way and for now the majority of the population still feels that having a TV is more important than internet access. I’d argue for both and for everyone to have an antenna so that their TV will receive over the air signals. I held on to my last mobile for 4 or 5 years, but newer technology convinced me to replace it. Having a new phone has improved my health and given my family greater peace of mind. My latest phone can read my blood sugar ( I have insulin dependent diabetes). It may not seem like that big a deal, but it really is. For one thing, it’s much easier for someone else to use my phone to take a blood sugar reading than to use my glucometer. My phone also allows my readings to be uploaded just about anywhere I am so that my doctors and my family have real time info on how I’m doing. Older systems that required cable attachment to upload readings had much lower utilization rates. Most of the time, it isn’t necessary to have this information but it provides peace of mind to those who care for me. So far I’ve been fortunate in that I’ve never lost consciousness while I have been alone, but there have been times I’ve passed out and was utterly incapable of helping myself. My phone stores health information that is helpful to both my family and EMTs. Another wonderful aspect of this technology is that it allows literally millions of people with diabetes to provide data to researchers. This technology permits much larger sample sizes for studies, much larger than could ever be conducted in person. There are reasons to have the latest technology besides the cool factor. I actually don’t know how old any of my TVs are, but none of them are internet ready. If a TV comes out that improves telehealth visits, I’ll probably be an early adopter.
Top tip, in gallery framing the bottom edge of the mat is often a shade wider than the top and sides, especially if a piece is intended to be hung at eye level, because when it sits on a wall there's an optical illusion where the bottom tends to look a bit thinner (something something viewing angles something), so if all the sides are the same width it seems "off". Which is to say - you could totally have split the difference with the mat being a little wider at the bottom! Probably not as far as a 50/50 split, but you could for sure have pushed it a bit. Something to keep in mind when you use up all that board you have left over from this project for future artworks!
Wondering the whole time how the remote was going to work with the sensor being blocked. Thank you for drilling the hole in at the last minute!!! I was stressing 😂
The entitlement of some people... ugh. I'm glad you stuck to your values on this one instead of caving to wasteful influencer consumerism. And it turned out great!
Kudos Becky! That was a complicated diy and you did an amazing job. I admire the fact that you even thought out a solution to this and then executed it to perfection!

Perhaps you guys need to do an inventory of all your tools, put it on a spread sheet with the number of the bin showing where it is located. Just a suggestion from one of your grandma subscribers!

I'm so happy you didn't buy a new TV altogether. My minimalist ass was so proud of you. I get joy from things that I've had for more than 5 years! If it's still working, why would you buy a new one??!! Love you! Thanks for this. I might do this for my TV (which looks like yours).
@SrUsHtI _ AnAnD you should start a friendsgiving with your friends after Covid goes away! Have fun trying to make recipes with one another and sit down eating it all together😊

He’s like “if I can just squeeeeeeze my head through *pop* then I can gets all the loves”. My Rottie does the same thing. Her head fits perfectly in the space between my desk chair’s arm and back and she will shove her head in there when she thinks I’ve been working too long.
You guys are so genuine and UNentitled, I dearly love that about you. Outstanding design sense, creative + original, super resourceful, and fun as heck to watch + be friends with -- all are true. But the genuine/unentitled piece? Priceless.
@@Tasteofthegoodlife29 ... don't bet on it. People simply don't want old TV's now. I bought a new smaller one for my condo, and I couldn't give my old one away. At least where I live they can be recycled.
@@Tasteofthegoodlife29 I’m pretty sure they do. Unfortunately either not a lot of people know how to responsibly dispose of electronics, or they just don’t care enough to find out.
This is awesome. It’s budget friendly, no money down the drain situation, and a very *fashionable uplift* . This is my fav type of content, being creatively creative. Thnx TheSorryGirls!!!
Yasss! I've been trying to figure out how we can mount our TV over our victorian fireplace without it looking like an eyesore. Definitely going to give this the "old college try"!
Yeeeessssssss! Always thought there should be more dupes for the samsung tv! This was so we'll executed!! Defo going to give this a go as my tv is wall mounted in my living room - so excited!!!
Have only just started watching but I had to pause it to comment. Good for you!! One of the things I respect most about the young (I’m an old lady living vicariously through your lives - if only there was something like this when I was young) UA-camrs I follow is your commitment to being environmentally conscious, thrifting so much and upcycling. So good for you for not buying a new TV just for aesthetic reasons. Brava!
I don’t think it’s shaming.. she asked about the look of her fireplace and people genuinely pointed out that the TVs edged throw it off. There ads plenty of tv’s out there for $200 or less. She was just using the most expensive one on the market now. It’s not really a big deal that people brought it up, in my opinion.
It looks incredible! Love that you got creative and saved waste. Also, this editing is *Chef's Kiss*. The little images showing the mat vs. frame unevenness comparison helped me understand. The music, emojis, timing... truly an art form
I love this and I want to make it for my own TV!! Can I also just say that I'm so happy you didn't just buy a new TV? Too many people are obsessed with always having the newest whatever when your old thing works just fine for what it needs. As long as something works, I don't plan on buying another.
i’m actually shocked at how easily you made this. i used to work in a frame shop selling expensive designs to people, and cutting mats is no joke!! once we had a customer who wanted a “magic mirror” tv frame that our framer spent a good hour carving the bevel wood to get it to fit a customer’s tv inside 🤪
Genius as always!! I love the way you guys always stress how functionality and conservation is more important than trend! But, you guys always find a way to incorporate trend with upcycling and I appreciate that so much!.
One of your most impressive end results so far! And honestly, thank you for being mindful about the waste you're producing. I'm so tired of every account I follow buying the frame TV. This is an excellent DIY! Nice work, Becky!
I was becoming tired of my dynex tv as well due to the bulkness. Due to this video, now I can make it feel new and fresh. Thanks. I believe mines is older than yours. Mine is the first version of HD TV when it was a new thing at that time.
I was NOT ready for this result! ♥️ AMAZING. I want to do it to every screen in my life now. And how rude of people, let the poor TV be, she’s doing great, she’s still thriving
Wow Becky... It's really impressive how you tackled the tv comments and threw this diy frame tv to their faces... You girls are inspiration... I wish to have such confidence and charisma
Kudos to you for standing up to the negative comments about your 'older, but works for you' electronics!! Continue to work with what you already have. ❤ loved your result!
See I would always over cut at the corners OR miscalculate (we couldn’t use calculators & math and I had beef) and end up having to start all over again 🙃
Becky! This is beyond awesome. I have been following The Sorry Girls for so long and you guys have created so many DIYs and such cool makeovers but this one made my jaw drop. I love your reasoning behind this too. I am totally one of those who would keep a piece of technology till death do us part if it does its job well. And this comment section has proven that I am not alone. WE HAVE HOPE. Thank you.
I loved the editing in this video so much 🤣🤣🤣🤭🤭🤭 the music in the background while Becky was trying to make a perfect cut and all the other details ahhh. 😍😍😍 Thank you to Nick and Justin♡
I actually saw this done on a home improvement show. It looked amazing, and frankly, isn't the frame TV literally just a TV with a frame, that has cool pictures loaded onto it? 🤷🏿♀️ This is the way to go!
What a great idea Becky! ♡ I have the Frame TV and it's awesome. If you are looking for affordable artwork for the TV I suggest you check out the shops on Etsy. I get all my artwork there. I just bought some at BalanceCoStudio shop, they have a 4 for 2 sale!!
That paint tray peel was deeply satisfying! We painted our bedroom yesterday and it's always the paint tray, brush, roller clean-up that takes so long! I was just thinking whilst cleaning brushes earlier it would be great if you guys could make a video on cleaning up from painting and diys but I guess it's the same fro you given those thick layers!
What gives the viewers the right to tell u that about your TV?? it isn't dated its a flat screen tv!!! Good for you for standing your ground and not throwing it away thats the problem nowadays and why we have landfills full of our junk. I am actually very impressed with how environmentally friendly your guys are so many other channels are horrendously wasteful!
I have been WAITING for someone to do this! I'm so happy it was you AND suuuper happy that you made a point of saying that your tv is FINE and you do not need a new one. If I wasn't already a subscriber and solid fan I would have been after watching the first 2 minutes of this ❤️
This video was filmed pre-lockdown in Toronto! Stay safe everyone! ❤️
New products are great, but we need more patches, too.
This is genius! Love the DIY and the video♥ It was right of you not to replace the TV. So happy for you!

That's my favorite DIY from you so far! Making new with old, that's my jam! The tv was perfectly fine! And now it's aesthetic 📺👌 good job!!! 😁
Honestly, chromecast stepped up their revolving art, and this is JUST as nice as the Frame Tv for the low low cost of: a $35 DIY retrofit, yay!
I absolutely love the idea behind it, no unnecessary waste!! 🤩🤩🤩 And the result is insanely, well done!!
holy shit i didn't expect it to look THAT good! that's amazing!! might try this myself in the future :)
also your hair and pink sweater are ❤️
Audibly said “wow” at the finished product! It looks sooo good!! Definitely doing this
The roast of Becky’s television 😂😂😂 that graphic made it! Love this DIY Becky!
Wow Becky... It's really impressive how you tackled the tv comments and threw this diy frame tv to their faces... You girls are inspiration... I wish to have such confidence and charisma
Interesting fact the triangle ruller is actually called a “square”. The frame looks so good 🥰 good job Becky.
speed square
Really great how you address the issue of not wanting to replace something that still works perfectly. Love your creative solution. :)
“A whole new paint tray” 😂😂😂
All the time and water I've wasted cleaning out paint trays before they dry.
Kudos to you for standing up to the negative comments about your 'older, but works for you' electronics!! Continue to work with what you already have. ❤ loved your result!
I'm really impressed by how this turned out.
Becky this is one of the best DIYs you've ever come up with! Phenomenally better!
This took me back to cutting mat frames in my photography class and I- 😭 pain, just pain
I did 4 years of art and cutting mat was always my least favorite part 😬
Same! Instant flashbacks.
Sameeee! Art school flashbacks!! Ughhh and when you push too hard and end up with a slight curve in the mat!🤦
When I would mess up one of my bevels and have to start over 😭
See I would always over cut at the corners OR miscalculate (we couldn’t use calculators & math and I had beef) and end up having to start all over again 🙃
Amazing DIY!!! So inventive 🤩
So proud of you for not being one of those people who will just chuck something for being outdated. Love this!!! Xxx
Goddammit Becky, you've done it again. That looks so good, and I NEED to have a go at it. I've been lusting after the Frame tv for soooo long
I am so going to do this to the TV I’ve just been given ... will have to change a couple of things but this is so good!!!
This is the ideal way to spend my time before I get my wisdom teeth out, also I freaking love beckys house! It’s so beautiful!!
I’ve been looking into doing something like this as well and this was by far the best and simplest tutorial I’ve seen!!
Loved the flute music that was playing when she was making the first cut on the white mat 😂
SO ~zen~
I’m only 2 mins in to the video, but thank you Becky 🙏 your efforts to behave more sustainably is one of the many things I appreciate about TSG 💚
um. this was amazing. I could watch Becky redo her house forever, honestly.
Becky! This is beyond awesome. I have been following The Sorry Girls for so long and you guys have created so many DIYs and such cool makeovers but this one made my jaw drop. I love your reasoning behind this too. I am totally one of those who would keep a piece of technology till death do us part if it does its job well. And this comment section has proven that I am not alone. WE HAVE HOPE. Thank you.
Becky: You can use an Xacto knife...
Me: *PTSD flashbacks to having to cut bevels by hand for photography classes*
Me: Noooooo...
WOW! I started this thinking it would be okay, and I literally gasped when you put it on!
“Nice straight cut. Not asking for much.”
That’s a lot to ask when cutting mat board. Just speaking from my experience in college😅
I loved the editing in this video so much 🤣🤣🤣🤭🤭🤭 the music in the background while Becky was trying to make a perfect cut and all the other details ahhh. 😍😍😍 Thank you to Nick and Justin♡
Oh my gosh I am early can you guys please do video on tips how to get storage in a very small room
Yes please
Omg please do it I need help as well
Yess please
ohhhh a storage themed video is SO needed!!!! help a fellow torontonian out
Wow. This is probably the best DIY I’ve seen on UA-cam. Nice job. And your dog is super cute.
I actually saw this done on a home improvement show. It looked amazing, and frankly, isn't the frame TV literally just a TV with a frame, that has cool pictures loaded onto it? 🤷🏿♀️ This is the way to go!
I think this one is your most epic diy so far! I mean compared to the budget with the end result, this one is truly worth the effort♡
OMG! When she said spoiler alert for next week I thought “ Oh no she’s not makeovering her room again!” Lol🤣🤣🤣
the creativity, the sustainability, the humor lol becky ilysm and i enjoy yout videos so much lol
What a great idea Becky! ♡ I have the Frame TV and it's awesome. If you are looking for affordable artwork for the TV I suggest you check out the shops on Etsy. I get all my artwork there. I just bought some at BalanceCoStudio shop, they have a 4 for 2 sale!!
Been looking for someone to just make a diy on this frame! So happy I found you! It turned out amazing!!
TV thrift aesthetic ftw!!! You are so good at "how can we do this?" Happy American Thanksgiving from BC!
DANNY!!!! 💖❤️♥️💖
That paint tray peel was deeply satisfying! We painted our bedroom yesterday and it's always the paint tray, brush, roller clean-up that takes so long! I was just thinking whilst cleaning brushes earlier it would be great if you guys could make a video on cleaning up from painting and diys but I guess it's the same fro you given those thick layers!
What gives the viewers the right to tell u that about your TV?? it isn't dated its a flat screen tv!!! Good for you for standing your ground and not throwing it away thats the problem nowadays and why we have landfills full of our junk. I am actually very impressed with how environmentally friendly your guys are so many other channels are horrendously wasteful!
I have been WAITING for someone to do this! I'm so happy it was you AND suuuper happy that you made a point of saying that your tv is FINE and you do not need a new one. If I wasn't already a subscriber and solid fan I would have been after watching the first 2 minutes of this ❤️
