I think you should do one BIG rug in the room. I would have it fill most of the space. A foot off each wall and have it stop right in front of the dresser. You probably want to cover up most of the cold hard concrete as possible, and it will make your room look large 😊 Excited for the new room to come together!
Everything looks amazing already before painting the walls - I love your color selection! Honestly all that colors in the bedroom are my fave colors :) You look amazing Rachel - keep on being amazing out there!!
I love it, I know that you have wanted to do something like this for a while. I am glad that you are getting the chance now. I love the colors; I would pick green, however, a sage tone. I will be adding brown and sage colors for Fall.
I’d vote for pink on the wall, just like the inspo pic you showed! Then all the green accents you have will really pop and stand out. Also, the bigger rug will go better in the space and help bridge the two spaces between the bed and the desk/dresser, a smaller rug would make the space feel smaller. Good luck with your updates and congrats on being able to make the space yours 🥰
@@rachelleea yeah I agree! Especially with the floors, the dusty pink would bring a nice level of warmth into the space while still allowing for the accents of green of your decor to play nicely off of the wall(s). Especially if you end up getting a rug with both colours in it ☺️
This was so much fun! I can’t wait to see the room coming more and more together with paints and rug etc. so nice to see some of your older things such as your table; it’s somehow comforting. You have been soo productive! If that was me I’d still be in bed trying to get over jet lag. 🤣🤣🤣
Its like a blast from the past having all my things again 😊💛 I had no jet lag this time. I scheduled my sleeping on the plane really well and stayed awake for so long once here I swapped over pretty quickly
@@rachelleea yes, even for me as a viewer! 🤗. And that’s great that you managed to set your sleeping on the plane right and also stay awake once you got there. That’s the hardest part for me.
Yay!! Finally back in Australia. Whenever you go back to another country, would you do a travel vlog including the airport and plane and what you pack, I love seeing those videos. Lovely to hear that you are making your mum's home your home. sending hugs xoxo
You should paint the room first and then move rooms. Would be soo much easier! Love your new room! Dinosaur color is beautiful. For the rug maybe analyze for a few days where you need it? If you want to put your feet on the rug when getting off bed, that's comfy but you will need a longer one. Definitely nice to have it where you are getting dressed, in front of dresser and closet. Hope that helps ❤❤
In the beginning of the month I painted my one wall a Sage Blossom colour and I started to get unsure of how yellow it looked on my wall but as it tried it turned into the beautiful sage green! I got some artwork off etsy and can't wait to finish decorating my room with that and some hanging plants.
I love your videos I always had a natural color house, so now I am adding a bit of color. I am so glad that you are adding color. When it comes to a rug I could never understand why people would put most of the rug under the bed. I think that the rug should cover the floor. can't wait to see the finish room.
Yes definitely the big rug! And is it weird that I felt nostalgic when I saw the gorgeous glass desk haha 😂💕 reminds me of the Melb city apartments videos!
If it’s not too late! The bigger rug and under the bed more, if you want help Miss Amara rugs are amazing, washable and their stylists can help you, they also have a feature that allows you to virtually place their rugs in your room
Nice job, Rachel. Well done. But for me (personaly) i will never get the point to have a bright bedroom. When i go to bed its dark anyway. MAybe a culture thing? We dont use our bedrooms for more than sleeping in Germany. Thats why our bedrooms are small often.
Love this content - looking forward to more as you settle in! I’m currently in the process of moving back into my dad’s house for a temporary but undefined period of time and am doing/planning many similar projects to make it feel like my own space - so this is great motivation!
needed the room and work space asap. And I needed the other room empty to fit all the stuff that was in this room in there. There was too much stuff to keep this room empty while i painted 💛😊
My favorite color is green too, but I find it goes great with pink and purple! So my room has green walls while everything else is pink-ish (lights, curtains, trash can, some other accessories, the bedding) 😊 For the rug, when you first mentioned it, I pictured an oval shaped one in the space between the bed and the desk. Do you want to cover the whole area? Or maybe choosing a different shape could solve the awkwardness of the rug measurements against the bed measurements? ☺ P.S. last question, does anyone paint or do arts in the spare room? Because originally it sounded very logical to me that the bedroom is a darker space while the studio is the room with the best lighting 🙄 unless it's not used at all, in which case really doesn't make sense to waste this best light on just storage.
Looks great! Check out Sherwin Williams Succulent, we used it in our kitchen and our neighbor used it in her spare bedroom as an accent wall and it looks awesome. It's a neutral green. Also, maybe look at put the rug under the desk / drawer area versus under the bed? I think that'll separate the work area from the bed and look less awkward. Rugs are soooo hard, I'm on the struggle bus with them for our first floor that's semi-open concept.
Also I used SW white truffle at my parents office a few years ago and it was way more pigmented then I thought it would be. It looks like a light mauve / neutral pink in case you don't want to go with a very bold pink.
Thank you! Will do! 😊 Rugs are so difficult, its so hard to know what to pick especially as they're set sizes unless you wanted to spend a fortune and get something custom
Question does anyone have the inventoire spreadsheet? I was wondering with the investment column do people use that to right how much they've invested for example in stocks or raiz or is it for the dividends (if applicable)? Thank you in advance for you help
Hi, the spreadsheet is designed to add estimates and actuals. To set yourself budgeting goals and track your actuals to see if you are meeting those goals. The investments section it is designed for you to add how much you think you'll be able to add to your investment accounts for the month and how much you actually do add. It then tallies up on the annual page to show you how much you were able to add to your accounts for the entire year. Every other section of the spreadsheet works in the same manner If you have any more questions or concerns please let us know
@@rachelleea thank you so much. That is what I did but I wanted to make sure I was doing it right. Thank you!! Ps. Love the spreadsheet btw. This is the first month I'm using it and my eyes are opening to where my money is going.
Oh amazing, so glad you love it. Its really daunting isn't it seeing where it all goes. I haven't tracked for a couple weeks, fell out of habit and I'm nervous to get back into it@@yollipop1993
@@rachelleea good luck when you do get back into it. I know this month is bad but I wanted to be as normal with my spending as possible for the first month then at the end of the month I can reevaluate.

Exactly what I was going to say! It will warm up the room and be more comfortable 😊
I miss your 2022 Toronto apartment and lifestyle ❤️ On to new chapters!
Me too, it was my fave. Can't wait to get back to having my own apartment 😊😊

Maybe you can put painter tape on the floor to help you visualize the sizing of the rug ( I think the bigger one is better in my opinion ☺️)
Oh that’s a great idea, I think there’s some in the shed I can use 😊
I'm sorry to hear about the house and Australia - And I'm SO happy to see you again in that house 🤗🤍

Very nice dresser. Where did you get it?❤
It’s from ikea and the handles are amazon 😊
Nice to see you getting organized again - do you expect to be Down Under for weeks or months (I know nothing about Canadian visa processes!) x
Most likely for months, I hope I can go back before the end of the year but who knows 🤞🏼🤞🏼
A large rug would look great! Are the floors unfinished like the walls? A large rug would add a lot of warmth xx
Nah its polished concrete so its finished. i personally don't really like polished concrete but it is easy 😊
I love these kinds of videos!! You have such good taste Rachel. Everything always looks beautiful. ❤
Thank you so much!! 😊💛 so glad you love them

Have you seen miss amara rugs? They’re so lovely!
i had a little look, they're super pretty 💛😊
@@rachelleea they’re gorgeous, and a sale is on haha!
I moved into my new place 9 months ago and I'm still on the hunt for a rug. I can't find one I really like...
it honestly takes forever I swear. I need to just bite the bullet and get something this week
Is the concrete floor a deliberate choice or did they just not do any finishing inside the house at all when it was rebuilt?
yeah it is, its just polished concrete but its cold and hard so it'll be nice to cover it with a rug
