This homeowner is so darn adorable. The fact that she work on it without her husband and yet wanted him to open his eyes first during the reveal, is the sweetest.
It's quite a transformation and the homeowners seem thrilled. I can't understand, though, why there wasn't storage built into the book nook daybed. All that space under the platform is unused now and could have held a couple of drawers or at least opened up on hinges for holiday decorations or out of season clothing storage or whatever else needs to be tucked away. Seems like a missed opportunity in an otherwise great space.
Leigh Taylor Ellis I do agree with you completely however Monica can only plan and design 5 projects and maybe the other projects could be more Important than a bit of storage but I am not trying to argue it is just a suggestion 📚📖❤️
I'm sure it's also a cost balance -- the homeowners didn't indicate that storage is a problem for them, and wood adds up. Monica probably used all of their weekend budget in ways that address their current needs and wants. But it looks like they can easily go back and add drawers in the future :)
We have paneling like this through out our house, for our sons room which was also covered in it, we painted each "plank" sage green left the black line and then the next "plank" a blue gray. I love that it looks pin striped. It took a fair amount of work but I'm beyond thrilled with the final look of it. Ill be sad when he wants to change the theme of his room from nursery to "big boy" lol.
It was more than the cosy book nook. The sitting area, the desk, the extra bed curtains, paint colour, rugs, art pieces, book shelves all done in a very planned and pragmatic manner.
I have watched numerous TH-cam videos on how to make bookshelves with pipes and some how the way it has been explained in this video seemed easy....maybe I was not ready to be taught before. Thanks for sharing all the smart, easy design ideas.
rehpotsirhk04 ugh* YES! that would 😄been brilliant! The front could have been a little latch key door and they could have had roll out bins hidden behind the doors!!!!
The Weekender: I don't know how if happen to find this channel but I'm soo very glad to that I did. I'm soo glad to find a building learning channel that doesn't have cussing in it. BLESSINGS AND FAVOR UPON YOU.
This might be my favorite I've watched so far. I've picked up a lot of ideas, and have a lot more confidence trying projects on my own because of this series. Thank you!
I also think this is one of my favorites that you have done! The space looks completely new! A play on modern and industrial with a little rustic but feels very cozy! So envy those homeowners! Wish it were my space! You guys did awesome
I have always wondered how panels would lol if you painted them. This looks awesome. I wonder if my parents would consider painting their wall panels in the living room and hallway?
@@mapleleaf0 I have that paneling throughout my home and I'm painting a lot of it white with navy blue for a distressed look. It takes lots of courage and experimentation.
That is just an amazing transformation, it's hard to believe - and of all I've watched thus far, I'd consider this the most doable for someone with my (very) limited skills. Great job!
This space is adorable but I don't like that the shelves go past where the paneling does for the nook. I also found it really silly to waist all that space beneath the nook? It could have easily been a great storage area.
Ok but thank you for this episode; one of the rooms in my parents house has wood panels and I told them to paint it white but they said it wouldn't look good. Now I can prove them wrong!
I think this might be my favorite room so far! Two requests: can you link what sawhorses you used? I've had such a hard time finding good-looking wooden ones to use for a table. Also, is there any chance you could do an in depth break-down of that nook build? It looks like such a flawless built-in with the finished trim but it actually seemed pretty simple when you were putting it together. Think that would be a really versatile tutorial to have for reference. Thank you so much! Love this series!
Hey Jangle - these are the saw horses used: www.lowes.com/pd/BURRO-BRAND-21-in-Wood-Saw-Horse-1-000-lb-Weight-Capacity/3347070 The nook is simply 2x4s cut to size to build a sturdy frame, with plywood on top. To finish it off we attached a few pieces of wood trim. We'll see if we can get a more in-depth explanation put together...may be hard since the episode is already filmed.
I've been looking forward to this episode since seeing the sneak peek. I have a similar situation with my 2nd floor and will incorporate many of these ideas there. Unless you'd like to help me, Monica.
I don't get how some people nitpick and complain about small things in these transformations. The show's concept is what can be done in a weekend, and they pull off unbelievably clever transformations with different (yet doable) ideas every single time - in just 2 days! Yes, there could have been more storage with another day's work - but we could also just not be hoarders in every corner of the house and learn to breathe in our living spaces, too?
This episode is really Coooool ! Maybe because of Christina's good mood, and... Your work :D Maybe Matty V can "introduce himself" in future season (or episode but i think all is allready filmed ?!). Tks !
I can not tell where doing today you really give a ton of ideas 💡 that will help me in home I live in Jordan 🇯🇴 sense I watch the first video I can’t stop this like the ten episodes that I watched ! Keep going you amazing 😉
Gorgeous transformation Wish you were in my country to help turn my attic into a functional space - so want a beading room out of reach from the kitties. Great job love this channel 🏡💖
Love this. How did you get the slats/boards for the faux wall to stay in place. We have a half wall and I would love to recreate your idea in our home.
Lowe's PLEASE bring Monica and this show back!!!! It helped me so much, and she gave 5 projects that anyone can do!!! LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!
Yes pls
This homeowner is so darn adorable. The fact that she work on it without her husband and yet wanted him to open his eyes first during the reveal, is the sweetest.
The home owner is so cute with her smile and reactions.
This young woman & her helper, do fantastic work! I am a DIYer fir 40+years now, but I am inspired to new levels by Monica's designs & savvy! TY!!!
Love how excited she was. Really shows how appreciative she was. 😊
I adore that book nook!
Budget Girl I think every booktuber would love this reading nook and bookshelf. Lol

Love this area but the books should be facing the other way so you can see what book it is.

Totally agree but it is a lot for a weekend

This is definitely my favorite transformation of any episode I love it. Monica, you can just come decorate my entire house. 😍😍
Omg! Yesssss!! I agree!
Like it when matty is around.😁
We have paneling like this through out our house, for our sons room which was also covered in it, we painted each "plank" sage green left the black line and then the next "plank" a blue gray.

lol.
Love the show as always Monica!
Mattie needs to feature on the show more! He seems great!

I love the bookshelves. The floor needs to be restored and then the room will be complete.
This attic is everything I dream about.
It was more than the cosy book nook. The sitting area, the desk, the extra bed curtains, paint colour, rugs, art pieces, book shelves all done in a very planned and pragmatic manner.
This is my favorite episode of the weekender and I've seen all of them. I can't wait to recreate the industrial shelves for my husband's diy desk!
What a lovely couple. Great episode
lol matt needs more show time ... FO’ SHO’!!
RoboticMoon I was just thinking that - why isn't he also speaking and explaining?!
@@annajames1065 because he sucks
You and Matt are TRULY REMARKABLE....wonderful
I have watched numerous TH-cam videos on how to make bookshelves with pipes and some how the way it has been explained in this video seemed easy....maybe I was not ready to be taught before.
Thanks for sharing all the smart, easy design ideas.
I love what you did to this attic. I am running to Lowe’s to transform my attic now that I know that I can do this.
AHH!! You guys ROCK these episodes!
Could you please please please do an episode for renters/apartments. I would LOVE to get some tips and tricks for my space.
There is an episode about a renter in season 2. The one with the musician in Texas I believe. Lovely episode...epic builds!
The wasted space under the nook could've been storage!
rehpotsirhk04 that’s what I’m saying as I’m watching the video 😂
rehpotsirhk04 ugh* YES! that would 😄been brilliant! The front could have been a little latch key door and they could have had roll out bins hidden behind the doors!!!!
It is easier to build without storage.
Her aim IS photogenic rooms (pin-worthy) so it makes sense to do what she did.. The home owners can always add storage boxes in that area
I love this space, it’s such a smart way to use a variety of textures to achieve such a homely and modern space
The Weekender: I don't know how if happen to find this channel but I'm soo very glad to that I did. I'm soo glad to find a building learning channel that doesn't have cussing in it. BLESSINGS AND FAVOR UPON YOU.
That room turned out amazing & the reading nook & book shelf is a genius idea. I absolutely love it
It turned out amazing! What a little paint one can do,and then you add ingenuity?. Beautiful!!!!
My favorite weekender transformation so far!!!
This might be my favorite I've watched so far. I've picked up a lot of ideas, and have a lot more confidence trying projects on my own because of this series. Thank you!
I think this is my favorite makeover. Good ideas and excellent execution.
Wow! Super nice makeover and the book nook is to die for! Love the industrial pipe bookshelf system.
This transformation was amazing! The paneling had me so skeptical but I loved the outcome!
This is my fave of Season 3 so far!! Love it!!!
Also first!
This is such a brilliant and beautiful space! That book nook is heaven!
Just rewatched this one. Maybe my favorite? Such a fantastic transformation.
I love the attic remodel for the 3 uses! I wish you could come here!
Her reaction stuck to me that I wanna rewatching it again
I didn’t think was going to like this one, but it turnout to be one of my favorites! Totally impressed.
I'm so excited that The Weekender is back for another season... love it!!!
Contractor and designer at the same time. Incredible!
This attic is so beautiful! Love the reading nook so much.
I also think this is one of my favorites that you have done! The space looks completely new! A play on modern and industrial with a little rustic but feels very cozy! So envy those homeowners! Wish it were my space! You guys did awesome
I love the owner's reaction.
Season 5 please! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
This show is soooo good. Everyone involved in the making of this show has got it going on. Keep up the great work guys
I have always wondered how panels would lol if you painted them. This looks awesome. I wonder if my parents would consider painting their wall panels in the living room and hallway?
Hey, did your parents take your suggestion and paint their living room and hallway paneling? -Curious TH-cam commenter 4 years later :)
@@mapleleaf0 Hello there. No, my parents are deciding to do something else. Maybe a renovation.
@@08fighter08 Ah, fair enough. All the best to you and them.
@@mapleleaf0 I have that paneling throughout my home and I'm painting a lot of it white with navy blue for a distressed look. It takes lots of courage and experimentation.
love this episode too. I like the simple book shelves idea.
That is just an amazing transformation, it's hard to believe - and of all I've watched thus far, I'd consider this the most doable for someone with my (very) limited skills. Great job!
I love the weekender its like the topping on the cake for any diyer Monica is fantastic
Thanks for your comment!
Very clever ideas in this space. The book nook is the best cozy feeling area ❤️ it.
Love the attic .before the work started. Loved all the wood.

You know flawless means without flaw.....
In terms of design it looks great, but I'm seeing a lot of flaws in the finishing to be quite honoust, plus a bunch of missed storage oppurtunities.
Exactly my thought.
Definitely with you with all the lost space under the bed. Also why no shelves under the desks. Could have had a few planks under the legs.
Under the book shelf could be storage too
what does "honoust" mean?
It's a weekend project
definatly going to make the pipe booke shelves and the desks in my new bedroom, omg this is why i love this show
The book nook is fabulous. I absolutely ❤️ it! Great job!
matty "faux sho"😂
This room is stunning!
Wow, this is beautiful!!! Love what was done with the space.
Great. This room is very much like my upstairs that I want to redo. Now I know what it will look like when it's done. Thanks!
LOVE this and just how bright and spacious it looks!
Awesome space, the home owners are thrilled.
I've been looking forward to this episode since seeing the sneak peek. I have a similar situation with my 2nd floor and will incorporate many of these ideas there. Unless you'd like to help me, Monica.
From creepy room to wow room. Love the book shelves.
What a phenomenal transformation. Excellent series, I'm hooked.

This episode is really Coooool ! Maybe because of Christina's good mood, and... Your work :D
Maybe Matty V can "introduce himself" in future season (or episode but i think all is allready filmed ?!).
Tks !
Awesome result. And I'm extremely jealous of that space....imagine having more room than you actually need...a book nook even! Must be nice ☺
This is amazing! Well done!
I really LOVE ALL OF THIS. I want to move back to Philly just to see the saw horses. I use metal ones to support a DIY vanity.
I can not tell where doing today you really give a ton of ideas 💡 that will help me in home I live in Jordan 🇯🇴 sense I watch the first video I can’t stop this like the ten episodes that I watched ! Keep going you amazing 😉
The reading nook is to die for!
I love the window seat. Would be a great reading nook!
Monica, this is wonderful, especially the book nook!
LOOOOVE that book nook, always wanted one of my own! The whole room looks 👌
Always completely impressed with you and the transformations.. love the piping
I absolutely love it!!! You guys are brilliant.

This room looks amazing ❤️
What a great transformation! It really is beautiful.
Just say I’m a subscriber from eight passengers and I’m addicted to the show
Love the book shelves...you totally Rocked this
Gorgeous transformation
Wish you were in my country to help turn my attic into a functional space - so want a beading room out of reach from the kitties.
Great job love this channel 🏡💖
Love this. How did you get the slats/boards for the faux wall to stay in place. We have a half wall and I would love to recreate your idea in our home.
