    What a gorgeous makeover! Very cozy! But I would leave a wider lampshade - it looks more stylish as for me

    I always loved the look of using moulding on the walls to do “frames”. It gives the room an elegant, high-end look.

  • @sherryidibo2304
    @sherryidibo2304 ปีที่แล้ว +168

    I think this is one of the most favourite design you created so far. Very cozy yet classic but more feels home ..gives the sense of wormth. Mesmerizing Kristen.🎉👏👏

    I loved loved loved your bar. I'm so happy to see that you are matching the rest of the room with it! I love that you guys have a room that is completely different and dramatic than the other rooms, but it is still very cohesive. I love moody, serene, cozy spaces. Beautiful! Thank you again Kristen! 💓

    • @KristenMcGowan

    I was blown away by the transformation of the family room. The moody academia design brought a sense of sophistication and coziness to the space, and the DIY aspect made it all the more impressive. The attention to detail and creativity showcased in this makeover is truly inspiring.

  • @SM-yd8hq
    @SM-yd8hq 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +10

    This is fabulous. The three cabinets is genius to hide all that mess and they look so stylish. This is the colour I've just painted my study, and it's so peaceful, everyone comes in. Now I need a swivel chair.

    • @prajaktamitra2023

    I don't know what it is but there is something so calming about your videos that I love. I very rarely watch videos that don't meet my taste, but yours are something very special. The atmosphere in this room makeover is simply breathtaking!

  • @lornag2227
    @lornag2227 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    Kristen, your makeover in your family room turned out absolutely fabulous. I love the wall color. It really made the room warm and cozy and cohesive. And you're thrifting items are awesome. Can't wait for the next video!❤

    I can't wait recreate this in my apartment living room. It is awesome because when I first saw this I was a home owner, then homeless but now I'm getting my own place and this will be awesome to help with my healing... Love you Kristen!

  • @paulopereira-d6g

    Absolutely beautiful dark and moody color with all the details and moldings in the same shade really gave this room a sophisticated ambiance.

  • @2cmrinhfx
    @2cmrinhfx ปีที่แล้ว +26

    One of my favorite videos of yours! I loved that you walked us through the prep and decision dilemmas. As someone who loves to redecorate, I find myself questioning everything & every step- when designers always seem to "just know" and "get it right". The way you shared your thinking and planning was so very helpful. I LOVE the finished project- thinking a rec room should be allowed to have its own color and coziness away from the neutrals of other spaces.

  • @JeanineAmapola
    @JeanineAmapola ปีที่แล้ว +67

  • @doudou53d44
    @doudou53d44 ปีที่แล้ว +25

    This is defenitly a wow room !! I love the bold color you used which makes the room really cosy and not dark at all ! Great job !👍😎🐕‍🦺

  • @jayashrishobna
    @jayashrishobna ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Beautiful. Love that you still had to "plan" things by seeing them - the position of the picture moulding, the 3 options for art and 2 options for the rug. I always feel so much pressure to just "imagine it" and get it right the first time as I design my own home, so it's nice to know there's a little trial and error involved.
    Probably the only thing I would have done differently is upholster the swivel chair in a bold fabric (with strong black lines maybe). It does look a little matchy with the sofa.

    @karenryancrawford6401 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    The color is absolutely fantastic in your room! The decorations on your built ins are so nice! That is the sort of thing I did with my shelves. I never lay my boos down but it looks awesome. I am a thrifter too and look hard you find some phenomenal pieces. Vases and artificial flowers and small art pieces finish it off! Love it. Thanks for sharing!

    Yes, it does look like the room has always looked like this. Top job, Kristen. I was able to listen to your video without feeling like I wanted it to end! It looks so homely and comfortable. I loved how you explained what you were doing. Also, the speed with which you talk is just right, and it is clear. Honestly, Kristen, if you were living in Oz I'd hire you to help me out. Thank you for your easy listening tutorial. I will check out the others you have posted.

  • @vick9895
    @vick9895 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    OMG, this is room is the exact definition of perfection! I`ve been wanting to paint my living room walls with this kind of color and you just made up my mind. Also, I just found out they sell Benjamin Moore in Spain so I can get the same color!
    If I lived in your house, this room would be no doubt my favorite one. It looks so incredibly cozy yet elegant, bright but still kind of moody, and overall sooo beautiful! I think this is your best design yet!!!

  • @loribragg2947
    @loribragg2947 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    This was a great transformation! My favorite part was the closet turned into a functioning work area with storage. I also enjoyed watching how you created the raised wall panels. I think tv dens should be cozy and have deeper wall colors. Great job, and looking forward to more videos! 😊

  • @mdsalauddintony1620
    @mdsalauddintony1620 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    @oceanvibes921 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I love how calming it is. Also, instead of getting rid of the couch cushions you can recover them and change the style easily whenever you want a refresh. Plus it's easy to store the covers vs multiple pillows.

    This is so beautifully done. Looks modernly classic and fresh. Every bit of this room I love buy my standout items, the window treatments, styling of the bookshelves and the sofa with various accent pillows not to mention the paint color. Hard to stop naming all the wonderful touches you made here. Overall, this room is AWESOMENESS!

    @felicitousfeline9956 ปีที่แล้ว

    Stunning! The molding and paint makes it a classy, and the room is so cohesive. For myself, I prefer items and art gathered over time that have personal meaning, but aesthetically (and economically!), the items and art work.

  • @mimib95
    @mimib95 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Just perfection! Very serene. Just to comment about the floor lamp by the chair…I switched out my shade on a lamp with the horizontal bulbs from a wide one…it started to burn the shade over time on the backside which I didn’t notice at first cause the bulb is closer to the shade. Good job!

    I downsized from a sectional that was blocking the view of the fireplace, and making the room feel cramped to a sofa, and what a huge improvement. I now have a living room that is more conversational and cozy.

    @ellendelima3579 ปีที่แล้ว

    You are so talented with remarkable agility to DIY! There are some design trends that I find difficult to appreciate: beads, too much of the beige /black,grey/ white colorless pallet. Hunter green and dark to mid blue .
    Your tv room is wonderfully changed. I even bought the same wall lamps after seeing this segment!

  • @marciareagan2718

    Omg Kristen, I just found you and I just in 4 hours transforming nearly every room in my house. Honestly.
    Me and daughter were living together and she got her own place now , so I can really make it my own and put all my things around. I always wondered what my style was , till I listen to your you tube about what style you are. I am modern Nordic style , I am doing my bedroom boho ish not too much nic nac ‘s you have inspired me so much, just moving and adding things around I feel like I am in a new home. Thank you onto the next video , xxx❤❤❤❤❤

  • @leonalii1533
    @leonalii1533 ปีที่แล้ว

    A really lovely result! The only thing I would change would be the built-in bookcases. They invite to clutter with the small distance between the shelves. If you are not a reader or pretend to be and fill it with books it does not look good. I would either take some of the shelves off to have create space for either pictures or preferably sculptures or install doors and use it for storage. Just my humble opinion and wisdom from House of Valentina!
