- I DIY'ed every step my living room renovation and I'm excited to share the journey, on Modern Builds!!
Thanks to Sony Electronics for sponsoring Today's video, Learn More about their Bravia XR X95K TV here: bit.ly/3ESu37i
When I Bought the Joshua Tree Cabin it needed a lot of work, and in previous episodes of the series I've turned this living room into a blank canvas for this makeover / renovation on a budget! I'm updating the fireplace and whitewashing the stone, adding a new mantel / tv, setting up the vinyl corner, building a sofa, coffee table, making custom curtains with my mom and splurging on a massage chair!
Thanks for following along, I've got a ton of links to videos and materials / supplies that I referenced below:

MODERN BUILDS
Hi, My name is Mike Montgomery and I'm a MAKER; a designer, builder, and full-time content creator. Accessibility is my focus with Modern Builds, not simply accessibility of designs, but accessibility in materials, information, and projects themselves. I've focused on creating furniture and DIY projects that are simple enough that any beginner maker can accomplish, yet interesting enough that any expert might be inspired. Building and making is becoming less and less of an exclusive hobby and profession. My goal is to reduce that separation even further.
I had doubts about the painted fireplace, but after it soaked in and cured I think it looks incredible and almost like it's the natural stone color! Your imagination on this build is just fabulous!
That monstera table is everything 👀🪴🛋️👍✨.
Omg that oak table is BEAUTIFUL!!!! Well done 👏🏼
Thanks Amelia!
Wow your mom is so beautiful. She looks so young and pretty. I hope I look like her when I’m a mum
Loved the transformation, wasn't too keen on the mirror but the plants below it enhanced it more to my liking. Overall a very comfy looking space. Your canvas paintings and the cushions look great together.
Thanks a bunch!!
I like the tone of color you chose for the sofa area. Yeah, I agree. It’s refreshing.
One of the only woodworkers on UA-cam to not use a CNC for curved cuts! Love it
I have to say you did a great job all around! Having seen this property from the very beginning I know the challenges you faced and conquered! Especially your new workshop. Fantastic!
Nice !
How blessed you are to have your mom helping you today .
You did a fantastic job decorating.
I'll be there first to say, that's a major improvement to what it was before!
Great work
Huge 🙌🏻
Wow Sony sponsor! Congrats dude
I love how your style has matured with you over the course of being on UA-cam. It's so wild to see your skills improve and you grow into your own. Ur genuinely so inspiring 😊🤗
Hey, Mike. The living room looks fantastic. The design showcases your unique creativity. No one in the world would have dreamed this design and then been able to put that dream into reality. I'm especially crazy about the coffee table and the personally created art work. The mirror is a splash of impressive imagination as well. You have the exceptional mind of a designer. Thanks for sharing yourself and this impressive transformation with us.
I hope that you have the joyous type of Thanksgiving that all of us Okies enjoy.
It was a ton of fun to go "all in", I appreciate the kind words!!
I really like what you did here. The furniture, the art, the modifications to existing elements of the home all turned out fire. You really are talented and it is great that you add your own sweat equity and design into your living spaces. I'm catching up on your final design videos from your tiny home projects while I wait for your next release on the first flip series. Keep it up, you are awesome to follow.
I freaking love the space. Who would have thought doing the angle on the hearth stone and whitewashing it could modernize it so much? And the curtains your Mom did look great! It’s just like always having a little piece of her in your home 😊. This is definitely one of my faves so far. Great job, Mike! 👏🏽
Favorite part…. The table. That is awesome!
I always wonder how you an Rachel Mets work handle these project single handedly. I am just glad mom is around this time for some support!
Come a long way since you bought the place, it came out great though nice work🎉
Tremendously AWESOME, Mike! BRAVO! 👍💪👏✨❤
Hey Mike! You can be super proud, what a nice result. You’ve inspired me to take on some of my own projects and I love you your taste in furniture. Keep up the good work!👍🏼😄
Good Nature vinyl really ties the room together ❤
You really opened the place up, even the ceilings appeared taller!
I agree. When he gave the initial tour the living room seemed small, but the reno makes it appear huge! He did a great job.
Removing the carpeting and the ceiling texture did increase the ceiling height. A little bit.
You killed it, Mike! Looks sooooo much better now than when you bought it
I was a Wine and Palette artist from 2012-2016! I ❤ Marie & Aaron
Okay this video was sick for a number of reasons but holy cow can we talk about that record collection! ABR’s Constellations (one of my top 5), The Chariot’s The Fiancé… and was that a Haste the Day Pressure the Hinges vinyl? I didn’t even know that existed! Super cool man. If you did a bonus episode about music I wouldn’t complain haha.
Mom looks young and your livingroom looks awesome!
The fireplace and TV is looking amazing.
looks like the kind of interior decorating Austin Powers would like. Groovy
You nailed it. Great job!
The whole place is looking really nice and inviting now.
the table is my favourite bit, looks awesome.
yea you're a crafty handyman, but you're also just very cool. loved the setup for the records, great living room
That coffee table looks amazing!
Citizen, Turnover, B&C and Title Fight? Those are some solid 7" choices!
That coffee table is fire! Lots of great content in one video. But where have you been my dude?
The whole room looks incredible, but that coffee table is actually the coolest thing I have ever seen in my life.
Looks great my guy! I love seeing the progress on the Joshua Tree house.
LMBO! I just watched your video on how to build a couch!! (for the 3rd time, I can't find one that I like) and this one popped up. I had just ordered my cushions, I'm probably your momma's age and building that couch!!!! I ❤️❤️❤️❤️ it!! Seeing it in your living room, well;. It's just cool as HELL! Can't wait to get started on it. You have another loyal subscriber. Keep up the great work! 👋👋👋
That table is so cool and so inspirational ❤
WOW!! You did a FANTASIC transformation!
Thanks Shelia!
This Reno is FKN SUPER PRO!!!
Yes!!!!
Love your style, creativity and work SOOOO Much Mike 👏 Hi to ur mom 😊
Beautiful work ✨🤌!
Your mom can pass as your sister. She look’s young.
Looking respectfully 😅
Are you trying to hit in his mom?
Wow, love all your custom pieces.
I love the table idea! Gonna make one for my wife for Christmas! Thanks from Tulsa!
Yooooo I was about to go to sleep I stayed up binge watching you’re old vids. I’m about to make a workbench/storage for my garage!
Right on dude!!!
😊😊😊so happy for you this looks amazing Beautiful home🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🥰🥰😍
That ceiling fan is cool!👍
It came out great!!! Gave me some ideas myself
Awesome!! That's the goal :)
@@ModernBuilds just from a girl who loves to decorate. I think the rug will look a little better if you out the wider portion where the table it. It will fill up the negative space. But that is if you still have it. I actually really like the rug.
I like the sectional, but I do think you should get cushions specifically made for it using foam. I think it will make look more streamlined
Your mom is beautiful! There’s no way she’s your mom… she could totally pass as your sister with no problem. ❤❤😊😊
Spectacular 🤩🤩🙌🏼👏🏼
You are amazing in the way you can see your space. Love it. Great job. PS your mum is very pretty. Xx
Love the monstera table....😍
I respect the work you do you don't just entertain us you tell us the details so we know what to do
Thanks Dude!
nicce love the white aesthetic
This is really beautiful nice job Mike
This entire transformation was awesome. I love that it’s simple but fun and has color and is not cluttered. It was so cool that your mom was able to help and also create curtains that fit perfect in the space.
As always this was an amazing room makeover with great custom built pieces!!!!
You are incredible! That livingroom looks very homie. It's warm and inviting.
wow! you really make cutting a mirror look like a piece of cake😳 and of course the living room looks great!
It's getting a little less intimidating each time I do it... the less you stress and just go for it, the better!
Great job, looks fantastic, so glad it's all come together for you.
Love seeing everything come together. Great work man!
Thanks Ryan
That coffee table is awesome! Can't wait to see the full video on that!
Coming soon!! It'll be on Kreg Jig's UA-cam channel in the next week!! Finishing up the edit currently 😁

You did great! Love this!!
Love seeing Childish Gambino's "Camp" and Mac Miller's "Divine Feminine" vinyls.
Classics!!!
Nice modern build. Honestly the best think about this build is the wired mic your using. You look like a game show host from the 70's. The room looks great. 👍
Bob Barker inspired 1000%
This is so inspiring. Looks great!
Thanks Sam!!!! 🤙🏼
Your home looks amazing and cozy. Awesome work!
We're Getting there!! Thanks :)
Thus transformation is incredible!!!! I've been watching a long time and seeing this space transform is so great! It's inspirational that I can do the same to my space!!!!
You have a pretty mom!
Mike, this project is more than great. It's absolutely SUPER PRO! I love it! You're not too bad for a dude who's getting old 🤣. That coffee table is awesome and I love the plants! The art, cushions. Everything just came together. You're like Hannibal Smith.
I gotta look up Hannibal smith but I'm gonna assume that's a good thing haha! Thanks Shelly
@@ModernBuilds lol! You're welcome Mike. Hint for Hannibal : Action Movie
The Oak table is amazing, i had a serious stank face when u put it beside the couch it just hit so hard
ABR and TDWP!!! Great bands!
Love it! Definitely super pro!!
Good my friend thank you for video
Love your channel. Thanks so much for all your content! Also, your Mom rocks.
She's the best!!!
Amazing work!
En otro nivel ! Que genio total !
Oh my God! I really like your style! Honestly I could watch your videos over and over but in this video!? I was like 🤯 the whole damn time! The leaf table!? The irregular mirror (that honestly is your thing and it's awesome because I don't think I've seen it anywhere else), the beautiful subtle colour, the PERFECT shade of wood!? The round thing for the extra wood on the fireplace!? God I'm losing my mind! Honestly I'm starstruck with you and until now I didn't actually know what this word meant, you just gave it meaning for me.... It's like I'm a kid again and watching "art attack" honestly 😅 but it's like you're in my head and make projects EXACTLY how I'd love them! 😍 I I I'm honestly out of words by this point, I'm just gonna watch the video a few more times 😁😅
Your paintings are awesome!!!!!
Thanks Gregory
Mac Miller and august burns red on the same display!🙌🏽
Forgot to comment. Dope AF Mike.
This is amazing !! I love the new fireplace and that coffee table!! Your place looks great 🤩

Haste the Day and ABR? NICE!
