      I know the piece over the door was meant to link the two together, but sad that the natural light won’t be able to move up to the vaulted ceilings. Kind of makes it feel gloomy up there, and the doors feel trapped and caged off. But love that Drew finds exactly what he loves and goes with it! Not for everyone, but so creative and fun!

      I've noticed that in most cases, a full wall of built-ins in the wall colour look less busy than a couple units or mid-height drawer piece. As long as you take care to leave some shelves almost empty with only decor it's going to appear as less heavy. It also appears to be taking less space in the room because you still have a straight wall.

    Drew, love the bookcases. Have you thought about adding small LED lights that shine up to the ceiling running behind the rosettes? Place them midway the depth of the shelves, and maybe even see if you can change the color of the lights to go with whatever mood you want to give. I’m not meaning a strip of lights but a row of 2-3” round lights. It would highlight those beams that are on your wall. I think that would be dramatic! And I know you like drama 😂

    Oh Drew holy cow Drew. Seriously a bow down to you. Your work is phenomenal. I love everything you’ve done and how you brought light into the room. The details to the bookcases make it from an ordinary functional to statement a Gorgeous statement. Oh, and putting the rosettes along the very top spaced out Makes a little bit like a castle with the mid evil beans in light fixtures. I hope I’m explaining this the way I mean for it to come out. Just plain or just a piece of molding just would not have carried the style of the ceiling and the beams and everything up there down into the walls the bookcases the incredible gorgeous, unique vintage French doors. It just wouldn’t have accented them to this level. And what you did at the bottom of those French doors. Holy moly they’re not just functional in those beautiful doors there. Oh no, it’s a piece of art just from the floor to the bottom of those doors. I love it love it love it every little tiny detail not just the big ones are mine blowing. Can’t wait to see what you do next. I am enjoying this so much Drew thank you thank you thank you. Oh, and the Monterey chairs are so uniquely perfect. They bring like the structure and strength of that mid evil/Art Deco era altogether. The detail on the sides I feel completely in love with so something I would love to get my hands on. There’s so unique and rare and one-of-a-kind really. So like each piece is a little different. And the resources you have discovered to buy really unique pieces for your home like that antique stone sink, I think, from like turkey, amazing. This home is truly becoming more and more of a work of art. Thanks for taking us along to these unique shops, which I would never get to explore and enjoy. If not for you. I am so very much living vicariously through you. I’m a 60-year-old Mama/Nana in the Pacific Northwest and I pretty much spent my life changing diapers and flipping tortillas lol. But I learned so much from you that I save up and get little pieces here and there and you and MacCenna have really influenced me in ways I never imagined I’d be influenced into a totally different direction. My style is definitely Mexican BoHo. But I’ve introduced neutrals like creamy off whites which I never really saw is my style and now I’m in love with. I also love, your choice of fabrics texture, even more than color that you chose for your chairs. Actually, I love all the things you’ve had reupholstered or done yourself. But chenille not like the chenille and bedspreads, but the chenille like in throw blankets and like you did on your chairs, I am passionate about. Thank you so much for taking me a long your journey. It’s turning out to be quite the ride.

    hmm it’s nice but i still don’t like the doors being so enclosed by the shelves. just feels cramped to me, but the shelves definitely look good on their own, just feel like it cramps it up next to the doors and the windows. Wish it could have been on another wall

    I agree with other comments about not really diggin' the rosettes on top of the bookshelves. I think a strip of the same egg and dart moulding you used around the doors would look great and would visually tie the doors to the shelving units. I was also hoping you'd paint the shelves dark brown to match the existing trim because I think this would tie the built ins to the rest of the room and make them look like they're original to the home.

    Drew, I love you and your content, but you really need to get rid of the castle trim on the top and add doors to the bottom row to help anchor the shelves by giving it more visual weight at the bottom.

    • @heidisettles5537
      @heidisettles5537 Рік тому

      You made a believer out of me with those upgraded bookcases, but I agree the rosette trim needs to be removed. I know you will be accessorizing the bookcases and it will be too much. A very subtle uplighting on top of bookcase would be nice also. Those chairs are divine! Love the sconces and the paint stick spacers is so smart. The step with timbers is genius!

  • @katem3961
    @katem3961 Рік тому +1

    I trusted your process from the start Drew, you've proven time and again that you know what's going to look amazing. At the end of the day, it is your home, and while others as viewers may prefer different bits and pieces, it's your home! Of course, it is to your taste and liking, which, by the way, I happen to love. Just stunning! The bookshelves showcase those gorgeous doors, and the trim feature across the top of the bookshelves fits so well with the overall style of your home. Well done 🧡🤎🩶 from Australia.
