      I love the honesty of a DIY not working out like you planned. We've all been there, but no one on YT shows it.

    The shower curtain was a genius idea! Especially how you hid it away in the basket at the top. Can’t wait to see how you use this space.

    It was a very good decision to paint that cabinet. Your room turned out so beautiful. Good work!

    the final result is so beautiful and cozy!! i was not sold on the track shelving at first but ahhh the decors have balanced everything and brought comforting elements back to the room. happy holidays to you and Pat! looking forward to your 2023 DIYs!

    I'm currently little by little doing my home office and even though the use of the room is completely different, watching how you do your space inspires me a lot on mine !

    I've never related so much to a content creator like this before haha. I have adhd and i'm so indecisive and constantly changing the layout of our house, which includes doing a lot of diy projects. Hearing “It doesn’t have to be perfect now, I can always change it" is so comforting especially when I think about all the times I did a project just to re-do it later on since I changed my mind about it.

  • @SunnybluPable

    I absolutely understand your struggle with the cabinets. We painted half of one wall in the study dark green. The color selection took forever. And it always looked great in my imaginations and Pinterest ideas. But when the wall was painted, I didn't feel comfortable at all and i was so depressed. Well, and now the wall is white and we will design the room like the rest of the apartment in warm beige and brown tones. I think sometimes it's absolutely ok not to dare anything and to stay with what you have always felt comfortable😊

  • @ErraticPerfectionist

    I love TH-camrs who keep it real. ❤ We don't always end up loving our first choice of colour or layout or whatever it is we're working on. And whilst it feels disappointing to have spent time/money/effort on something we don't end up liking, it's totally fine to go back to the drawing board and do what you know you like 😊

    Do not be too hard on yourself. You can fix things, no need to stress the small stuff.

    Beautiful! I really like the new color for the apothecary cabinet along with the gold pulls, make it even more spectacular! The room has such a calming & soothing vibe. I LOVE IT!!
    Enjoy your day!!!

  • @lara_xy
    @lara_xy 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I really like this space and especially all your decor! Functional yet calming and cute! I think it was a great idea to divide the cabinets again, now it really does not seem to take up that whole corner

    • @cloudyhills
      @cloudyhills  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yessss it was looking too chunky, I love how floaty it looks now!

  • @SimieIriarte
    @SimieIriarte 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    As frustrating as DIY can be the process is so therapeutic. I really like how you showed the process of changing your mind and painting that piece before going to sleep. I can totally relate 😂

    13:10 oh dang, as a fellow creative, I felt that SO bad 🥲 Scrapping a project is never fun, but it's really inspiring to see you move onward and the great result afterwards :) ♥
    I've been following your channel for a while, and I think this is my favourite home project of yours by far~ its always so nice to see the space in which one creates, and this is giving me all sorts of inspiration (the curtain shower? genius!)
    Thanks as always for sharing your projects and process with us, roller coasters and all~ :))) btw I hope you take this as a compliment but I'm seriously envious of your wall-drilling skills in particular~ I've put up many a shelf, but none ever look as clean as yours 🥲👍

    • @cloudyhills
      @cloudyhills  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Aw thank you so much! I didn't have high expectations for this room but ended up loving it too. As for the wall drilling, you just need more practice! 😄 I couldn't do it properly for the first few months either~

    It was a little flimsier than I expected. I had to add a 2x2 piece of wood to the bottom on the rear side in order to stabilize it better th-cam.com/users/postUgkxXTh-lz-8W6GcB219vTLp27-MxbZYObBX . It is also starting to bow a little at the outer wall ( I've had it up for about 6 months), I've already had a shelf tumble down because of the bow and the fact that the little shelf brackets are quite short. I went out to home depot and got some longer ones so that the shelves don't tumble down again. Overall, it looks very nice for the price and it holds a lot ( I use it as a pantry). I am very satisfied with my purchase. I just strongly suggest reinforcing it before putting it up.

  • @FelicitiGunter
    @FelicitiGunter ปีที่แล้ว

    I related so much when you tried to experiment with color onto the faux apothecary unit and ended up hating it. I do that so much with some of the ceramics I have painted. I branch out with bright colors and then absolutely wipe them and start again haha! This was such a good video!! Your space turned out so nice!!

    I was just watching your video and noticed the book from London about poetry was kinda a emerald green color I'm mentioning this because from about 1814 to the 1900 emerald green was a very popular color but people stopped using it because they discovered it was toxic and could get people really sick it was found in a lot of old books too. I just wanted to let you know so that your safe😁 I would get it checked out to be sure. Love your videos they bring me so much comfort❤

    I’m new to the DIY game, but maybe try using a wood conditioner on the raw pine shelves and THEN you can stain them. Wood conditioner should help reduce blotching (which makes the wood grain look “busy,” as you stated). If you try it out, please let me know how it turns out! Good luck!

    Yeah, gray paints almost always have a blue hue. I found out the hard way too! Sometimes it works. But now I always pick a warmer neutral color, or something that has green undertones instead of blue.

    I liked the look of the anthracite gray but I think the reason the cabinet looked off was because it didn’t match the rest of the room. If it had been placed in a room with other things in a similar color it would’ve looked great
