Perfect choice to pick blue for the ceiling as with the orange couch they are complimentary colors, and I love your painting, the color palette is perfect, it ties everything in.
I love that your painting is still named 12 circles although you can’t see 12 anymore. So modern art daaaahling.
"i had a little bit of a crisis" lmao ah yes modern art
I love the blue ceiling!!! I don't know if anyone has said this yet, but my dad does painting/construction, and it's actually usually better to peel the tape when the paint is still wet. Doing it this way ensures it keeps that nice edge. If you wait until it's dried to pull the tape, it might pull some of the paint from the ceiling with it. Also if you hit the areas where the tape meets the wall or in this case ceiling with a little white paint or primer first, it will prevent any bleeding. Just maybe something to note in the future! Love your videos!!
The blue ceiling looks 100x better!! Makes the space cozy :)
The blue ceiling really makes that kitchen! I am inspired to paint my kitchen ceiling a color now, since it has water damage and needs a new coat of paint anyway.
DO IT!!!!!!! It will change your life
Pro Painting Tip: when you apply your painters tape before painting with your chosen paint color, go along the tape with white or whatever the color of your wall and then once dry paint with your chosen color. This way if it bleeds through it will be the white or color of the wall and you will have a nice crisp clean paint line when done.
Loving the make over. It's so different from my own style and so it's very refressing to see something completely different. I'm enjoying it a lot. Also grinning since I'm sitting next to the exact same basket with crochet yarn.... and granny squares that want to become a cardigan when they grow up.
I DIY'ed cushions for the dinnertable. I bought a second hand topper mattras (an ikea one) for €1 and i bought a cheap velvet curtain at the thirftstore. This way it was really inexpensive but still looked very good and it was very comfortable!
I actually loved the light 💡
Me too. Unique beautiful and sophisticated
Here’s a tip from a Mom who has don a lot of home decor sewing. If you want nice fitting cushion covers, make them with negative ease. Make them slightly smaller than the foam you are putting inside. That will often make it hard to fit the foam inside the cover. There is an easy hack for that. Take a regular trash bag, put the foam inside. Then get your vacuum cleaner and gather the trash bag opening and hold it tightly around the hose end of your vacuum and turn it on. Vacuum all the air out of your foam and the trash bag. Holding tightly to the trash bag opening, slowly slid it off the hose and trap as much air out of the bag as you can. Tie an overhead knot in the trash bag top. Then insert the foam with the bag inside the cushion cover. Let the air out and remove the trash bag. Usually you will need to rip the bag. Easy Peasy!!!
You should peel the tape when the paint is wet for a cleaner finish!
Our second home, we painted each ceiling a color to compliment the wall color,it made it feel more cozy.
Isn’t it life changing??? 😍
I studied abroad in Vancouver about 5 years ago and I haven't been able to visit (from UK) since. Watching you walk across the Granville bridge made me feel very nostalgic 😭 I miss Vancouver big time and I am totally living vicariously through you atm - please keep including the Vancouver shots in your videos! 😍
your interior design is gorge!! i love the amount of plants u have, my dream life in one person!!
12:12 AM and Jenna upload new video, okay we can sleep 20 minutes later
19.50 here haha. Where are you from?
@@haddockandbentley2903 I'm from Indonesia 🇮🇩😍
Oh my gosh i love the new ceiling. Sooooo amazing, pulls the whole place together! Definitely knocks out the “new build” look!
I thought you'd have to leave the disco-ball-lamp when you leave this apartment!! Can you really sell it?
The makeover looks good! Love the blue ceiling. It really complements the color of the kitchen cabinets. The 50s chairs are amazing. Mirror is a nice addition but I would hate seeing myself in it while eating. But maybe I'm just an unattractive eater.😁 adore your couches and the rug goes so well. Love the side tables and coffee table. I really love your painting. I didn't at first but once it was hung I think it looks great. I knew your "disco ball" light was an expensive piece. Looks like a Murano glass piece. I wish it was mine. A unique beauty. The replacement light looks nice but ordinary. I've seen it at least a hundred times. Hope you get a good price for the beautiful chandelier and it goes to someone who appreciates it. Overall you really did a wonderful makeover and I think you two will feel happy and comfortable in what you have created. Thanks for the reveal. Love your videos.
I laughed at you two walking the mirror because I had a similar experience. I bought a beautiful wood coffee table in Tokyo but I couldn't wait for them to deliver it to my hotel or I would have missed my flight. So I carried it back myself. Then I carried it on and off planes and to hotels in Hongkong, Bangkok, Delhi, Tehran, Beirut, Frankfurt, London, and finally San Francisco. 🤣 completely crazy but fortunately I do love the table.
Ps. I would be even more nervous than Benson on your balcony. I hate heights. I'm in a third floor flat and that's as high as I am willing to live.
PAINTING HACK
To stop the blue bleeding through, add a coat of white (or the colour of the wall before) paint as a base and let it dry, then paint over it with the blue. (Or the new colour of your choice) and then when you peel off the tape it wont bleed! This is so handy and i hope it helps other people because it works :)
I remember those Ikea side tables, everyone had them back in the day. I also have had painted ceilings in the 80's as I had high ceilings and it made it feel lower and cosier. I love your blue. I had lilac and dusty pinks and teals
“Let’s see if it tastes good…… (no emotion) its pretty fire.” You are my favourite 😂❤️
Also looks FANTASTIC ✨
your art piece came out so good! super cute. cracking up at all the mistakes along the way but that’s life and carrying the mirror is dedication but necessary! it’s so big and amazing. the blues look good and your lil doggo is toooo sweet 🥺 also love the chrome chairs they’re soo good and the cushions came out good!
In our house, we thought our living room was missing something. So we went to Home Depot, and there they were our dream paintings. I moose and a deer in people clothes in front of the same book page. Stunning, really. 😍
Love watching you make your new place your own. The blue ceiling turned out so nice. I actually loved your painting with the green circles when it was only green circles, I have a Kandinsky print of different colored circles in my liv rm. Your new kitchen light is nice, but girl, have to admit I miss that fabulous chandelier. Love your rug and thrifted side tables. Change is so inspiring.
I love how your painting ties in the living room with the kitchen! It’s like the green circles represent the leaves of your beautiful plant baby’s and the blue represents the ceiling of the kitchen.
I am so confused, is this rental or did they purchase this apartment? Because rental usually don’t allow you to sale their items. But maybe things are differently in Canada.
I was wondering the same thing! haha
Able to paint in iowa in rentals
It just depends on the landlord no matter where you live. But selling lights lol idk about that, if I change fixtures when I rent we save them to replace them. But yeah maybe Canada is different lol
Did you guys buy the apartment or rent? I thought you were renting but with all the changes you are doing and selling the lamp shade that was there when you moved in, now I’m confused 😝
Jenna, I think you are so talented and creative! Love your "Masterpiece" and the mirror looks fantastic, totally worth the effort.
This is so wonderful, I love all the plants. Jenna you have the best taste, i swear!
I have been considering painting some bright colors for more fun. Especially good for winter. So seeing this was very timely. I love how it turned out! Inspirational!
Great job Jenna!!! Love all your hard work! The mirror is amazing-because of its immense size, but also, that you two managed to walk it all the way home AND get it into the elevator!! The blue ceiling does look amazing! (Btw, Mia Maple-a fellow Canadian!), painted her living room ceiling blue as well, and she added fluffy white clouds that looked great! I was a pleasantly surprised actually, at how great it looks!!!)…..And a couple of suggestions: Frog tape (If it is available in Canada!) is amazing painter’s tape that greatly reduces the possibility of paint bleeding over the typical blue painter’s tape! However, Frog makes 2 tapes… -the original green (Which is cheaper than the yellow.), and a YELLOW tape that is considered to be even better as it is a “safe release” -meaning it won’t damage the drywall when you pull it off. AND the Yellow Frog Tape is more forgiving time-wise, even if it isn’t removed immediately! It can safely stay up for a few days without damaging anything! Frog tape is great, but I suggest spending a little more and using their YELLOW tape! Lastly, would it be possible to insert your second cushion (That you had intended for the back of your dining chairs, but didn’t use as a back cushion!), into the covers for the chair seat. It would double up on the thickness and reduce the wrinkling of your fabric. If it is too thick to be added in the way it is, perhaps you can thin the edges so they fit into the current cushions-plumping up the cushions, but easing the thickness of the side seams with less depth. Just suggestions that may help! Love your channel and your sweet, sunny, cute and funny personality! Hope you continue to enjoy your new place!!! 😄
Jenna, your place looks adorable! I would never have thought to paint the ceiling with a color, but I'm loving it. Great choices all around.
I actually really like your artwork it really ties the kitchen and the plants from the living area together!
I love your style, and that painting is so cool! I think the blue wash over 2/3rds of it really gives it a bit of artistic mystery that works.
I love this! The painting ties it all together! perfect perfect perfect ✨
I love how adamant you are in loving your painting! And it is a good piece of art for your living room :)))
Love how ur partner is very supportive of u decorating the space!!
I've been looking forward to this video and loved it so much!!!!!! The painting is so unique and the mirror really opens up the space!
I love where you are sewing! I want that when I get frustrated and impatient in sewing I just look at the view, take a deep breath and sew again🏙🤍
Yes. I really like your place. I know what a pain it was to get the mirror home, but it's perfect. Also, I love the new 'dining room' light. So perfect for that spot.
I thought I was going to hate the blue ceiling (which is odd, because I love having colour on walls), but honestly it came out so much better than I thought, I really like it!
Tim was skeptical too but he loves it now!
thank you jenna!!! you are the one that inspired me to crochet!!!
the painting actually ties the place together. it looks really good!
Everything looks great! ❤️ And Benson walking on the deck 😭😍😘
Some colorful books would be cute to stack under and around your plants behind the couch!
if i had those chairs i would do a macrame weave on the "spokes" on the back of the chairs. Stay with natural cord coloured it matches your cushions and weave a simple pattern. i think it would add a bit of comfort and interesting style. Great job!!!
Hi Jenna, Everything in your makeover turned out great. Painting the ceiling is a wonderful idea. I love that you take your work outside, it’s beautiful scenery. Benson was a big help holding down that foam cushion for you 🥰. Take care 🥰
Fantastic your piece is hanging in NY! How proud you must be!♥️♥️♥️✌️🙏🤞🏻🙏🫶🏻⭕️❌⭕️❌❗️💋♥️♥️♥️🥂🍾
Usually I am not on the same page, but I liked everything about this makeover. The mirror reminded me of moving a matress by public transportation :)
You moved a mattress by public transport???
@@JennaPhipps I did. I was student. Here the PT works well, we travel everyvhere with it, not everybody has a car.
The sunset matches your couch. Soo pretty! 🧡
Love the rooms, especially the blue ceiling!
i’m IN LOVE with your place oh my god. i love your style so much it looks amazing!! so happy for you guys
☄️Your videos is so calm and aesthetic that's what every one wants ♥️🥰💖🍓😍🍓♥️🥰🍓☄️♥️
love what you've done with your place, it looks fantastic! never thought of painting the kitchen ceiling but i just might keep that in mind when i get my own place haha :D
I love you blue ceiling and with that white lamp I makes look that the sky and a cloud, so pretty. And all your plants just make it look so cozy.
Hi Jenna ,thank you for picking me for the prize. 😁✨I am so glad but I don't really think I can acknowledge it. But thank you anyway.
It would be a little bit complicated to send and I would just be to complex. But I still want to thank you.
You should do a peel and stick wallpaper on your kitchen cabinets they’ll change the whole vibe!
Love your new home. Great job with the design! ❤️
I LOVE your lighting fixture over your table. I WANT IT!
I see furniture like that in stores and wonder how they'd get styled- now I know! Love the blue ceiling 💙.
Love this. You did a great job. Wonderful atmosphere 🌱💚
If you haven't already, please consider securing that giant mirror to the wall! I can already see it fall over... other than that: beautiful space xx
Wait isn’t this a rental?! How can you sell the light?!
It looks so cute!! I love the blue ceiling.
the kitchen chairs tie in well with the sofa they are perfect!
“It smells so good,but sometimes i make things and it smells good but then it doesnt taste good” same jenna same😅😂
You could get some batting and wrap the foam inside the cushion, that extra little bit of overstuffed-ness might eliminate the wrinkles?
Yes
Finally your living Room makeover. I love your couch. I wish i could find the same one 😭
Do you know where her couch is from? Maybe I
Missed it in the video
your place is sooo cute! you're actually making me want to redecorate my whole aparment 😅💖
The light fixture looked like a disco ball that sneezed. All looks very nice!
Love it Jenna... it all looks so cool.
OMG i hope u reach 500K soon, also ur house looks absolutely amazingg!!!
Did you buy this place or are you renting? Cause if you're renting I'm wondering how you go about selling light fixtures that may not belong to you?!!
she could have bought off the interior
I think she bought it cause she painted it too
This is a dream flatt!!!! so jealous! congratulations xx
love the ceiling!
I just loooove how your place is coming out !
Love your outfit and your progress. Thanks for sharing this sweetie.
BENSON is so cute! Love your spirit and creativity.
OH MY GOD! I have been wanting to paint my ceiling blue! Haven't had the time to do it yet. Looks beautiful!
I love the blue ceiling!!
Also your place looks amazing! Love the painting!
you can put vinyl in your kitchen in the marble part with a retro design and it would look great
Looks great!
I actually love the old ceiling fixture!
Love the art
Love your style
Great mirror story lol
OMG tht MIRROR was soooo worth the walk .LOVE your PAINTING BTW
your vibe is literally improving my day
Hi Jenna! I am from Italy. I love all your videos!! And congrats your new house is so so cool!! Your furniture are so stylish! I don’t know if you know that your kitchen chairs could be designed by the italian designer Gastone Rinaldi (the name of the chairs model could be “Sabrina”), they are so expensive in Italy!!
Came here to say this! I think they were produced by Rima
Great job Jenna! 👏
Sorry if I’m repeating - haven’t read all the comments… anyway, your seat cushions might benefit from wrapping the foam with batting. If it feels over stuffed as you’re putting the cushions back in the covers you’ve added enough. The foam and batting condense over time from sitting on them so they should end up just right. It should reduce the wrinkles, too.
I want to be able to keep plants alive like you! 😝
Just for the future, don’t wait for the paint to dry to take off the tape. It can crack and take chunks off. Take the tape off when it’s got a coat of still damp paint on it.
You are so smart, that makes so much sense
@@JennaPhipps it’s experience more than being smart! So many mistakes made because I’m twice your age and didn’t have the internet growing up lol
Ok next we need an office ‘put together video’😍😍 we need to see how you are going to put the new office room together 🥹

The wall where u out ur masterpiece is screaming for a gallery wall 💜
We have that rug in our bedroom! We love it!!
Wow the mirror was absolutely worth the struggle! Looks so good
