Thank you to Comfort Works for gifting me the Soderhamn Pure Linen Natural slipcover! To learn more please visit comfort-works.com?&
In one of our previous videos I mentioned that I wasn't happy with the colour of my IKEA couch, and the DIY gods heard me! Comfort Works was so kind as to gift me a new slipcover that makes all of my warm-toned linen dreams come true, not to mention they added in some awesome mid century modern replacement legs which are a great sustainable solution to swapping out an entire couch. Plus, I took on fixing my front window, which I painted white, added curtains to, and DIY'd a vibey live edge natural wood insert to cover the warped wood on the window sill. Which home DIY should I take on next?!

You should do an updated house tour so we can see all the changes you’ve made!
Becky is changing her house decor faster than I change clothes 😂
And it's affecting me big time!! I am pregnant and have kids and I want to do it all just like her 🙈🙈😂🤦♀️
I am student and broke and the same has happened to me 😂
Sanchita and Sayoni 😂😂😂
Literally.
I know! With 2kids (the oldest 2yo.) I can only watch her... 🤣 We have our house 3 years and its still not fully "made" 🤭
Out of content : Becky has the most gorgeous hair! 😭😱❤️
she’s becky with the good hair!!
I would like this but ur at 69 💀
@@octave892 I'm done 😅
I literally think this every single video 😭🥰
Make a vid on how you do your hair pls! @TheSorryGirls
I don’t usually comment on videos but I had to say dang, your viewers have some opinions! Ain’t no sugar coating around these parts! I for one love your videos Becky (and don’t care about the length of your curtains, how you take care of your plants or whether or not you choose to fill the cracks in your wood 😂). Your house is gorgeous and you always do a fabulous and professional job on all your projects. I also really appreciate how you are genuinely budget conscious and not wasteful. Thanks for the awesome content!
I love your comment, and I wholeheartedly agree with you!
Right on
BECKY! and Kelsey!! I have no idea how you guys are still KILLIN the game putting out SO many videos but it seriously makes me SO happy, my mental state is not great right now and your videos are one of the few things that help me relax and feel better. Hope you guys are taking breaks too but thank you for the incredible and consistent content in this hard time!!!
you reusing that curtain strip from the last DIY cleansed my soul
Hiiiii Dodie! Never thought I'd see you here! I love your music ^^
I never thought I would see you comment on here ❤ glad you enjoy their content as well!
Next episode: I Ran Out of Rooms in My House to Decorate, so I Added Another One (on Budget)
Mohd Afiq Mat Razai Too funny! I wouldn’t be surprised!
Next Episode: „I didn’t like the view from my guest room so I added a balcony“ (on a budget)
WE NEEEEDDDDDD
It’s even funnier when you realized her guest bedroom is in the basement lol
Megan 616 whaaaaaat?¿? How got I passed through this information lol 😂
Nyla Johnay for the VIIIIIIBE
Tristan Jörg lmao I think she said it in the making over bathroom with nothing video no sure tho
I liked the windowsill makeover, but I wish that crack would have been filled with clear epoxy. It's going to collect so much dust!
I agree, and post-install the existing window frame allows a “stop” at that side, so she can always go back and do this.
It also should be stabilized so it doesnt continue to split
Yes, a bow tie joiner would work well and look nice too
Erin Moore i had to look up what a bow tie joiner is and that is such a good idea! Didn’t even know that existed!
Yes, it’s a detail often used in a contrasting wood species/color to bring attention to it, but also joins the wood together. I’m second guessing now whether the split in Becky’s wood is too wide for it. But maybe at the base of the crack/check to prevent further cracking in combination with an epoxy fill. Imo
That live edge is GORGEOUS. The curtains up to the ceiling is PERFECTION..... however, girl... they need to go ALL the way to the floor to look lush. IMO. But you do you. Still love that live edge lol
I just found it very funny how this curtain track is a trend now and mt parents had this in their living room since 1998 :D And yes, the curtains need to go to the floor.
Omg, yes! Was thinking the exact same thing!!
I think this every time! Sooo many of the curtains they do are too short. It's a pretty basic design thing IMO 😬
Question: If I were to hang a curtain +rail above a window that is maybe a meter wide in my bedroom. (Just one curtain. Not a 'split' curtain. Or 2 tiny curtains) Would you still hang it to the floor? Under my window is some space and then my radiator and it sticks out +- 20 centimeters.
Would you then hang the curtain above the radiator or just below the window? Or not at all. Right now I have a roller blind.
I got this very long red velvet curtain from my grandma's house. It used to hang in the hallway to block the cold from the frontdoor in the winter. But I am wondering what I should do with it. Velvet might look too heavy for in a bedroom..
Yes! No point going up to the ceiling if the curtains don't skim the floor
You should reuse that bag for big Christmas presents! Even better, do a DIY for TH-cam of you making it even more christmasy!!!
i actually loved the dark wood around the window lol it was a nice contrast to the greenery
I agree, it was such a dark rich color I think it's kind of a shame she painted over it. I also think that wood of any kind looks waayyyyyy better than white trim pretty much always
What drives me nuts is the fact that she has so much natural tones and stuff, but just straight up covers up that amazing wood trim. Just make the efford, sand that thing down an put a light stain on it, would have looked better imo
Agree! why would you paint over beautiful, contrasting dark wood like that??
In the context of the entire room and house it didn’t make sense
@@WhisperMJ1 Yes, this
I LOVE the live edge, and that split gives it character, but at the same time I worry it won't handle the wear & tear of being a window ledge very well. I really feel like the gap should be filled with clear resin. I know its less "natural", but it would make the split so much stronger.
I was thinking of resin, too, but with an iridescence about it. Perhaps a pearly iridescence? So there's not a lot of contrast.
WOW...just WOW! The couch looks fabulous, but that window! Painting it white made all the difference, but that wood is so rich and beautiful! Good job, Becky!
I love the sustainability of just replacing the cover instead of the whole couch, but yikes those prices! The covers are more expensive than some of the couches 😭 I love the idea, but I’m hoping I can find a more budget friendly option somewhere else online. Switching out the legs is pure genius though, it makes such a difference!
I have done this by sewing my own, if you have a sewing machine and basic sewing skills its totally do able - I pinned each section inside out straight onto the sofa to fit it and just sewed it up. I made it removable so I could wash it as I have pets. Only cost was the fabric which I got from Ikea for maybe less than $100.
Yep! I also checked them for my IKEA couch and nearly every color of the covers costs more than the whole couch 🙈
I have seen lots (especially for IKEA furniture) on Etsy. More affordable and supporting an independent artist. Win/win!
Changing those couch covers makes SUCH a difference! I was like a light colour for a light colour? That's not gonna do much, but it really changed the whole feel of not only the couch but also the room as a whole.
My mom always does that, she keeps changing the fabric on her sofas n her last sofa lasted for like 20 years n she just got a new one (the first new one in our memories)
I do this too, I make new covers for mine - takes a bit of effort but totally do-able and not very expensive for a basic sewer like me. My sectional is about 15 now I think.
Becky has really become my current fav lately.. her style has evolved to my idea of perfect. Everything she’s done lately is so well thought out and brought together in such a beautiful way. Her home is everything I dream of mine to be 🤩
The way you hung your curtains is how I remember my parents house in the 60’s. They were called pull draperies....everything old is new again❤️
Is anyone else obsessed with Becky’s hair? No? Just me? Ooooookay great
She looks so beautiful lately! Love her look in this video!
I keep taking screenshots of her hair to use as a reference photo at the hairdressers!
Her problem solving always amazes me! I swear they both figure out how to do everything!
Becky: “I like the pink but I don’t know if I’ll like it forever”
Becky: wears the same color pink sweater
👀😂
Love the window! I know it’s too late now, but you should have filled the crack with resin and pretty stones. (I’ve seen this with turquoise for dining and end tables. Just a thought for a space filler.)
We definitely talked about wanting to do this in the office today!
@@TheSorryGirls I think perhaps a pearly iridescent resin would look good. Not too much contrast and doesn't stick out. I was also concerned if the window handles would still work?
That would be gorgeous!
That window change was insane!! LOVE the wood with all white!
Love love love the sofa update, feet & all. Painting the trim around the bay window made all the difference.
Why is that wood store heaven? I can smell it through the screen omg
"don't need it obviously, but it's so beautiful" - the level of self control I aspire to have when it comes to decor
We used to have ceiling track curtains when I was a kid. Worst moments of my neck, back, and arm pain, as well as severe dizziness are linked to these damn tracks :)))) since I was always the one to put the curtains on.
I actually liked the damage that the wood had. I thought it looked cool!
Everything always comes out looking good though.
7:53 There is another door in the wall 😮 Is it connected to the last one? 😅🤔 Let's solve the door mistery... please 😂😏
Yayy diy diaries!! This is probably my favourite series and I love the drawing bit :D
Any idea how the sketchbook animation is done?
Yeeees Becky it so much more neat!!!! The window was a massive change! And I absolutely agree with who wants a house tour
I was legit thinking, “I think the colour of her sweater is perfect,” then when she pulled out pink swatch, I was like EXACTLY.
TheMeghan99 same!! 😂❤️
Thanks for all the inspo!!!
Becky you get prettier and prettier every video. Your smile radiates positivity girl! 🥺
Filling in the crack of the wood with resin (tinted, clear, or with gold leaf foil flakes, etc.) is actually really easy and would look very stunning!
Becky you're killing it! Super loving your projects/videos lately
I love the new window and the way it makes the room look brighter.
Becky’s house projects are some of my absolute favorite videos. Such a vibe!
I’ve been loving how much Becky content we’ve been getting during quarantine🙌🏻
I'm not gunna lie, my heart died a little when she painted over the gorgeous wood trim around the window before she added the new bench. I thought it was a gorgeous contrast in that room with the stain. Just my opinion though👍
Oh my gosh! That cover on the end pillow is absolutely stunning....I really need that in my life!
i don’t know why i just realized this, but i really appreciate how unique all of their intros are ❤️
Double wowzer. The live edge wood and those curtains look doppppe. So boho luxe 👍
Oh my god, I can't believe it! We've had these ceiling rods at my grandparents' house since like forever! I have never truly appreciated them until now! wow. Awesome videos, by the way! I love them from the bottom of my heart! You guys are such an inspiration!
Becky, as you were holding up the samples, I couldn't help but notice that YOUR FINGERNAILS look beautiful 💅
Another awesome episode of Becky's house adventures! Absolutely love these. I was thinking, if you are looking for ideas of more projects to do Becky (and this may already very well be on deck already) you could do your guest bedroom in the basement?
Becky, you have the best style. 💚 that window looks amazing! That shelf!!! My goodness, Great job.
i think a light grey linnen on the couch would make the light pink wall pop some more, and i always love it when curtains are floor to ceiling.
Seriously, I just love diy diaries! I really enjoy watching Becky doing all these diys at home. I always look forward to the next episode.
That bay window transformation is gorgeous!! 💖
Painting to Bon Iver is a MOOD!
It really is the smallest changes that make the biggest differences in a room! I love it! Both rooms look spectacular.
Gorgeous rooms and everything but this monstera needs to be watered, repotted or fertilized, because it looks thirsty for nutritions. 🍀
This is all I could think about 😅
Came to the comments to see somebody mention it !! It’s healthy just really wants more water
@@Joconnor1192 Right. 😅
@@Alproverse Agree. 🤗
It is because they are drooping? I'm asking because i also have a monstera and I'm very cautious with watering as overwatering can't be reversed. So i was wondering about the obvious telltale sign that they are thirsty.
The window transformation is absolutely beautiful!! Great job Becky! 👍🏻🌸⭐️
Omg this wooden window ledge is LIFE!! 100% APARTMENT GOALS, Yas!! I love that, probably gonna try that at home too 😍
Honestly, Becky is professional interior decorator...!! 😍😍 She is so talented & always bringing us awesome projects-!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼 I’ve been constantly impressed with you with these DIY Diaries series... 💛
I was rooting for the linen ❤️ linen is a much more sustainable fabric than cotton. It requires much less water, pesticides, processing, etc. I love the results ❤️ so cute
Let's talk about the best pr move of all time - branding something that is essentially plastic as "vegan leather". I hate the fact that a lot of people who want to be more environmentally conscious get duped by this
Leather is much better for the environment than "vegan leather"
@@ettaz true
@@ettaz Hi,
I don't know how this imitation lether is produced. So what does the production make so bad for the environment? Is it treated in a special way? Just because it is plasic doesn't make it worth than real lether. The cows have to be "produced" , too, and need a lot of water, pastureland, food ect. and fart methan.
@Sara French sure, but cotton is much more hard wearing, lasts longer, whereas linen is very brittle, wears out and rips easier..
chrisssssssi there are many more varieties of faux leather than actual leather, some of the cheapest forms are just poly/cotton weaves with a layer of plastic fused on top with a grain effect. There are thousands of types but all require some kind of plastic to achieve the ‘polished outer’ finish, not all of these plastics are vegan either. So all vegan leathers are faux but not all faux leathers are vegan ygm?
I still think real leather is more damaging to the planet both environmentally and ethically. Because even real leather isn’t compostable after all the chemicals they have to infuse it with..
My god, These Girls are on Fire! People are going throught art block inspo blick motivation block and kelsey and becky are coming up with hell lotta content! You girls inspire me everyday! Touchwood-
I love how often you guys are uploading, and I feel like your content has improved a lot aswell 💜
Fabulous window sill. Love the natural edge board. 👍👍
the vibe of this video was so perfect for my Morning!! Thank ya Becky!!! ( and the Sorry team!!)
Window looks so good 😍 You could also make an epoxy fill in that crack so it wouldn't get dirty inside, but still had that character.
I really like the light beige. It would match the pillows and the hanging light a lot.
The live edge was a brilliant idea for that window. Picking up those Ikea ceiling curtain tracks asap. Excellent tip. Thank you for including the link! ❤️❤️❤️
The leaves on the monstera are so sad and it has so many aerial roots! Not an expert but it mine looked like that, it's split it.
Too much sun exposure :-(
Hmm, yeah, wouldn't be my favouite pick for up there, but then it's not my room. 😆
What's wrong with so many aerial roots?
@@blondie6611 aerial roots is it literally trying to find sustenance elsewhere. It usually means that it needs repotting in a bigger pot with fresh soil and/or fertilizer.
@Lorena Jaimes Maybe it's time to put them in a cute plant pot with some soil. They do OK in water but that's not ideal for them.
Becky, you never cease to amaze me. Well done ✔
That live edge wood... ❤❤❤ you did a great job! It fit perfectly!!!
I don’t think I could love the sorry girls more until... Becky puts on Bon Iver album on and my heart just exploded 🥰
Thank you for choosing your sponsors so carefully 😊
I’m a long-time viewer & I always appreciate seeing sponsors that are sustainable & something I’m already looking for!
i always thought your house was so nice but somehow throughout this series you’ve made it even more beautiful which blows my mind ❤️
I love the makeover and it’s giving me inspo for my own apartment!! Thank you, becky!!
That bay window looks huge now that it's all light and bright! I'm in looove!!!
THE NEW LEDGE LOOKS SO GOOD
Love the piece of wood you cut for the bay window area! Turned out great!
I love your makeovers Becky, you have magic hands 💕
Love Beckys house, so organic and stylish.
That’s a genius idea.....I love the idea of slip colours
The window transformation is really good, really made a big difference 👌🏻
Can I just say I LOVE your videos so much?! They're literally my favourite from all of youtube atm. Get these girls to 2 million god damn!
I’m always so inspired to makeover a space after seeing one of your videos! Thanks Becky!
Window looks beautiful, the wood may have been expensive but it is the cherry on top! Fab.
ugh your whole entire house is perfect!!!!
Love the curtains. It looks so elegant up to the ceiling. Nice job on the wood template. Your home is really coming together.
The only upside to quarantine: being early to The Sorry Girls' videos!
I anxiously wait for the Tuesday uploads .. and definitely worth the wait 😁
It always happens when I'm on break at work
I LOVE THE LEDGE I think the cut gave it more character
Great choice with the couch! I was leaning towards the light pink but you made the right decision!
This video is just honestly hair goals. Becky get it girl.
I would have chosen leather. However it looks amazing
A leather throw pillow would be cute in the mix she has!
Loving that live edge window seat.
The live edge window sill is such a cool idea. I want to do it for my bay window now... just wondering why you didn't get curtains that hit the floor?
Agreed! They're too short!
I’m assuming she reused the ones she had which probably fit the window lower, but they also probably weren’t floor length because the sofa is already close to the wall and it would look like a tangled mess
@@ahumanaperson Since she does so much sewing, she could have (and still could) add some fabric to the bottom. I'm not sure the extra length needed to hit the floor would be that much different than what is already there in terms of getting tangled with the couch.
Overall, really nice updates, Becky!
Could be cool to add fabric similar to the lampshade she made to the bottom of the curtains so they brush the floor
Think these frame the window better and make it about the window, not the curtains.
Great space girl... it feels so warm and cozy^^ and you are right, cohesiveness is important, love your videos 😘
Literally an awesome transformation love the natural wood came out 😎 great job Becky!!
Makes a huge difference and looks great! I love everything in the room especially the large mirror and that floor lamp 💕 I need one!!
I would love to see a house tour! Mostly because I love all your diys but also because I don't understand the layout of your house - like at all lol
I really want a home tour now Becky!!! everything looks so new and fresh and cohesive and beautiful!
I was so excited for this one, and the projects turned out amazing! That live wood is 😘
I love the window makeover, but I wish the curtains were longer. Awesome video!
OMG I'm so glad you told me about Comfort Works b/c I have an IKEA couch and kept hoping they would come out with some different covers. Thanks so much!!
Wonderful and exquisite choices Becky! I love these medium sized projects that really REALLY transform an area or room. You got a great eye.
