I am so happy to bring to you my Thrifted , Cottage, Living Room Makeover & Reveal. It took about 6-7 months to gather everything, and do the DIY’s. We are in love with it.🍂☺️
I too have "goobers" that say "too much stuff" about my place. They're wrong. Ignore them. My space expresses my love for natural materials, art, beauty and personal memories. It thrills my very being to share with my loved ones. People that "Know" me get it. Thank you for honoring us with this very personal "share". Love from Texas❤
Jan, thanks for being here.🍂☺️
Definitely magazine worthy! Good Job!
BRAVO!!!!!!! This living room is Perfection!!!! You should be on the cover of French Country home & Living Magazine!!! Congrats!!!
Aww, thank you.☺️🍂
I totally agree! Magazine worthy!
I know I've said this before, but my mom would absolutely adore this living room. She loved this style of decorating. Your style is so classically beautiful. So comfy and inviting. I just want to sit there and have a nice cup of coffee while listening to some jazz on your record player. You did an awesome job!
Ingrid, I would love to have ☕️with you. If you’re ever in California, you have an open invitation.☺️🍂
@@SarahsOctoberHome It's a date! 😊

Be still my heart! This is absolutely gorgeous!
Your living room has turned out lovely. The vision that you had and the forsight to be able to hold on the things for 2-3 years in advance is commendable. I'm so flighty with the things I purchase. If I connect with an item I buy it right away because it won't be at the thrift store for even an hour after a visit. Sometimes this leads to a hodgepodge of items. I make it work from vignette to vignette and from season to season. Just because I use something one year doesn't mean I'll use it the next. It may be 2-3 years before I'm inspired to use the same item again and it will be used in whole unique way to me anyway. Storage does become an issue with decorating this way. If I didn't have an attic, it wouldn't be possible. If I had to describe my style it would be Eclectic with whimsy verging on cottage style but more of a modern European cottage style. A mouthful right? I'm a square peg in a round hole. It's not a perfect fit but works for me.
It’s just lovely and timeless. Every detail has its own story. Your patience has earned you a beautiful addition to your home.
Judy, thank you. ☺️🍂
Oh Sarah ~. WELL DONE…WELL DONE….WELL DONE ! I think my favorite is the wall with the floor mirror and those pictures, the chairs, the RUG …. Your gallery wall…. The Baker’s Rack….. everything about the space is just what I was expecting and more seeing it ALL TOGETHER !
You did an excellent job with keeping the look in your head for 3 years while collecting your items. Oh my !!!! I am in awe !
So worth the wait !
Again…..WELL DONE !!!
🍁🍁🧡🧡🍁🍁
Jayne, thank you so very much.☺️🍂
There is so much to love about the makeover, my favorites are the glass coffee table and all the mirrors.
Very sophisticated yet cozy. Love all the natural elements
Love all the French country details! Your room came together lovely, magazine worthy.
Thank you.🍂☺️
I love that painting of that woman tunred around in her chair. Those frames are gorgeous too!
Just absolutely stunning Sarah ... as is everything you turn your hand to!! I cannot choose a favourite piece as I love it all but I have to say ... that mirror is such a statement!! Just beautiful. I don't think you have to have a name for your style of decorating - I think its just "Sarah Style" 🖤🖤 I've watched through the video twice & now I'm off to make a cuppa & watch it all over again!!! Thank You Sarah for all that you share. xx
Julie, thank you so much.☺️🍂
I love it, amazing what you can do with found treasures at a affordable price. It's so inviting & welcoming! Eclectic is what I call it, decorate with what you love & you love it. No one else lives there. It's your retreat & your families. I'm sure they are just as pleased.
Violet, thank you so much.☺️🍂
Beautiful! Hard to pick a favorite but all of your baskets are my pick. They seem to tie the room together .
Thank you. I will watch this over, many times.
Enjoy your lovely room.
☺️🍂
Sarah, your home is such an inspiration to me! I love your style, and your videos are my absolute favorite! I have watched everyone over and over again! Thank you for sharing your lovely home, your enchanting style and your family with all of us! I send much love, peace and joy! ❤️❤️🤍🤍
Oh my goodness Sarah! This room is STUNNING, yet also warm and inviting. Everyone's been anxiously awaiting your reveal on the living room makeover and you did not disappoint! I love everything about it but my favorite is the reading nook, I love books and to curl up with a good one, tonic for my soul. You should be very proud of how beautiful your living room turned out. ❤
Edie, thank you.☺️🍂
I just have to pause for a quick minute..
I am flabbergasted.. this is really really BEAUTIFUL!!! The palm 🌴 plant/ tree and wicker, the woods, bronze.. it reminds me more of a Victorian conservatory, or tea house in one of those period films in Victorian Era England.. you had this vision for what 2? 3? years .. I mean.. this is Incredible.... What a commitment to your vision, a patience, time and labor intensive gift of love to yourself and your family. I'm stunned. Truly. Not to gush, but I believe in giving honor where honor is due. You, my friend, have a gift. Your husband and girls are so blessed to live in such a beautifully presented peaceful looking haven to rest their heads. Thanks so much for sharing this. This is something to emulate. Wow. I'm beyond impressed.
Melinda, I was trying for a Conservatory look as well. Thank you so much.☺️🍂Yes, I’ve mulled these ideas over for about 2 years. It took me about 6 months to put it all together.☺️
I love that painting of the girls back. It is so perfect with your daughters. I’m more minimalist than you but I love how you thrifted everything and waited on getting your room done. It is comfortable and cozy.
Denise, thank you.☺️🍂
Sarah what an eye for design you have. I've followed you on this journey and must admit I could not have pulled off anything near this pretty . Hats off to you. It is amazing ..now sit back and enjoy all your labors.
Vickie, thank you so much!☺️🍂
I love how no matter where your eye rests there is something beautiful to explore! I could stare at this room for hours ❤
Thank you, Frankie.☺️🍂
You had a vision of how you wanted this room to look. You patiently added your cherished finds one by one and the finished room is stunning! It is beyond magazine ready. I think your mannequin would be lovely with a couple of timeless brooches pinned to her. Bravo to you!!
Thank you and great idea.🍂☺️
Just beautiful! I see the NY and European apartment influences, which I love! Probably my Favorite is that huge mirror area with the pictures and plants. It’s all very inviting!
Marti, I am so happy someone sees it too.☺️🍂
I agree. So New York apartment, and so Sarah. Absolutely exquisite! I love it so much. I could look at it over and over. In fact I have twice today. 🥰
It was so worth the wait. And, took my breath away. Thank you for sharing and all the hard work. Every room is so perfect. You truly have a gift...
I have to rewatch, so much design to absorb. Stunning.
Thank you.☺️🍂
The room looks amazing, the big mirror makes everything stand out. I love the floors and the wood framing on the walls, gives the room a true vintage look. Also the combination of White ceramic lamps and bits and pieces with the baskets look great. Job well done.
Thank you.☺️
I like that you don’t have a specific style. I think it looks collected over time. Items that represent who you are and what you love. Very beautiful room. I have been waiting to see the tour and it did not disappoint!! Enjoy your room🤗
Eliana, thank you.☺️🍂
Wow I’m blown away ..it’s looks so cozy and beautiful ..everything just goes so perfect together ..looks so professionally done ..I absolutely love it ❤
Wow !! I had no idea watching you thrift all these months what your vision was. You are really professional. This is stunning how it came together.
Kathleen, thank you so much.☺️🍂
WOW Sarah 😮😮😮😮😮😮, just wow. Charming, inviting, and warmly magazine worthy. Real natural talent!
Evan, thank you so much.🍂☺️
It’s stunning! But I would expect nothing less from you! ❤ my favorite spot is the gallery wall above the console table and all the decor on it!
Danielle, you are always so kind. Thank you, sweet friend.☺️😂
Everything looks beautiful you are such a good decorator and I never saw a 7 ft mirror like that. 🐿🌻 also I love the little chest of drawers on legs in between the 2 chairs, I love furniture on legs.
Thank you so much.🍂☺️
I am an artist whose color palette includes cobalt blue, lime green, mustard yellow, and vermillion with many patterns but if I were a neutral girl I would say you absolutely created an elegant, timeless, and comfortable space. I love it!
Michelle, thank you. ☺️🍂
Sarah'sOctoberLivingRm🍁
First favorite, 🤍 the entry sofa placement! Creating two walking paths with see-through-view to the garden, fantastic!!
The chic coffee table, gilded mirrors & chandelier!
Oh, that basket collage, glass/brass shelves & display - especially, the petite, regal votive candle holder.
Beautiful baker's rack, brass & display.
Lovely library area, with adorable table lamp, shell & paperweights!
The pretty, framed artwork, seated portrait & gorgeous gallery hang!
The Autumnal Anthropology vase styling, plants & magazine pot.
So much time, effort & work. Congratulations!!🎉
Leena, thank you so much.☺️🍂
Really like all your hard work….turned out beautiful…
The entire room is absolutely Pride & Prejudice! I don’t see a single thing I don’t love!!
So happy to hear this.☺️🍂
Very beautiful, peaceful and relaxing living room. I Love the way you placed the bookends, especially the dogs, I never thought of turning bookends different ways but I will be doing it now, great idea. The room makes you feel like sitting down with a cup of tea and a friend and having a wonderful afternoon, very nice room.
Thank you, so much.🍂☺️
So worth the wait for you to be able to use all of your stored pieces. The room is beautiful and timeless. I’m sure you will enjoy it for many years. Love the use of texture and colors you have chosen. Would love some information on the print of the lady sitting in the chair. Great job, happy for you. ❤
Than you, Chris. That picture is from museum quality art. ☺️🍂
@@SarahsOctoberHome Thank you. She is a beauty. Don’t know why but by accident I have a collection of women from different time periods. They just speak to my vintage soul. 🥰
It all looks so lovely!! Love your Anthro mirror it fits perfectly in your newly decorated living room! All the pieces you thrifted are just perfect!
Rachel, thank you son much.🍂☺️
That is a beautiful room. It looks inviting and subtle instead of overdone. 😁😁👋👋💖💖
🍂☺️
A beautiful curated look. I love the dog bookends, the baskets, the shadows on the furniture piece in front of the window. It's so pretty, Sarah. Enjoy!
Thank you, Jane.☺️🍂
Oh my goodness! I absolutely love it. All your pieces go together just beautifully. I love the rug you picked ! Great job Sarah, you should be very proud.
You did a wonderful job in styling your living room. I know you and your family will enjoy for years to come ❤
🍂☺️
Thanks you for giving me more ideas!….I thought my living room was crowded but no I will be adding more pieces, decor etc… love how everything comes together! My favorite are the two chairs with the table ❤️
You’re welcome. Decorate to please your heart. ☺️🍂

I love all the things that you put on your shelves and how they are arranged . Many blessings ....enjoy your living room
Great job Sarah! It is beautiful!!! I love all your thrifted treasures plus a splash of Anthropologie. I particularly loved the chairs. I am now on the lookout for cozy cane backed chairs. I would kill for all your mirrors. Thanks for all the inspiration.
☺️🍂
Oh my goodness...your living room is gorgeous!!! I love everything about it. Thank you so much for sharing!!
Thanks, Jeanie, for being here.☺️🍂
Sarah, your journey and hard moments have been so worth the wait. The room reminds me of an elegant, tranquil seaside home filled with light and by gone days.
The room has great balance and feels so welcoming!
There is something to be said for keeping a neutral palette and using gold everywhere.
We’ll done ✅! Take a break now and enjoy the fruits of your family’s labor! 😊
I adore the painting of the girl’s back in the chair!
Thank you.🍂☺️
Sarah, this is truly so beautiful! I absolutely love your style and think you’ve created a beautiful, warm, inviting space. It’s truly hard to pick a favorite thing about it!! The art print beside your large mirror (of the girl sitting in the chair) is completely stunning! Thank you for sharing your space with us ☺️
