This past week I went into the rabbit hole of looking into vintage artworks and found out that you can get them from galleries for free! I scoured through thousands and compiled some of my favourites for you to download (for free!), made a guide on where you can find more of them, and how you can print them to get the most authentic look.

Wow! Thanks a lot! ❤
Thank you, Reynard. I appreciate your thoughtfulness.
Good post Reynard. Changing out the electrical outlets makes it look like you rewired your whole house. Good point regarding working with the existing tile and still updating it. People think they hate their dated tile in the bathroom, until it is paired with the exact same color in a trendy wallpaper or even paint. A scheme that will compliment it. Like magic, they love it, so the tile color was not the problem.
Yes! I had all wallswitches and outlets replaced in my 1979 home purchased a few years ago. They are all white which matches the trim. Vast improvement for a resonable cost!
Yes, changing electrical outlets is easier than one thinks - just make sure to turn off the electrical current!
Great video have already started those things with great results
The typo is no big deal.
I just found this channel and love it. Feels like my soft girly life I can't wait to play around with.
On the curtain note, we own a 1950s post-and-beam home that still had original to near-original curtains. They are definitely of the era but have maintained their shape & color well. Since our home has beams running thru the rooms we can’t mount the track on the ceiling. Nor could we afford to purchase new curtains for nearly 30 linear feet of curtains. In light of all this, we kept our curtains for the time being and just got them cleaned. ❤
This is a great video. I like your ideas on how to update a home while honoring a budget. Thank you.
Thanks for what you do Reynard!
Can I suggest slightly longer on the before and after shots? I want to be able to inspect the differences longer. Great video!
Absolutely! Thanks for the feedback :)
Yes, please, a bit longer.
Timely video since Im having a renovation on going.Nice one.
Real hardwood floors can possibly be re-sanded, but this depends on original thickness and past re-sandings. Engineered wood flooring cannot be re-sanded.
great ideas TY
Great video! I didn’t know you could paint tile!
Thanks for great content. Would love to hear you talk about home exteriors
Great video
You make the best videos
We painted our old light switches to match the walls
I have an outdated fluorescent box ceiling that I would like to replace. There are 3 recess lights over the kitchen sink. The adjacent dining area has a black global fixture. What do you recommend for the box ceiling light replacement?
Great video! What kind of paint is used for kitchen counters? I painted my cabinets and changed the hardware. Are peel and stick backsplashes good to use?
Peel and stick backsplash really depends on the surface you're putting it on, I saw Lone Fox covered this in detail here - th-cam.com/video/Lo0JAyMW6VE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=RcYCfCyK4UFTZVvf&t=445
But overall I wouldn't recommend it directly behind a stove/oven. Better for surrounding or different section of the kitchen like pantry, coffee bar, etc.
Hey Reynard, in example 4:35 , wouldn't it be better to keep the previous backsplash (which I think is washable paint) rather than using a cheap-looking one?
Long term function-wise I'd agree with you. I'm just trying to show examples how small budget changes can change the look of a dated space. I think the handles and styling alone make a really big impact.
we miss house to home series
I have a question. Can I paint the cabinets just like that with new paint, or do I need to sand down the cabinets first before painting?
Def need to clean, degrease, sand, AND prime in that order before adding color.
Would love a hardwood floor instead of carpet,but living in a first floor flat the sound disturbance caused to the flat below is too problematic.Any suggestions?
There’s definitely acoustic underlays that are meant to be placed between the floorboards and subfloor, but I highly recommend consulting a professional about this, and also asking permission from the building management/strata.
❤️❤️❤️
What type of paint can be used f I want to coz u don't want my old tiles
Ask at the paint store or Google it. Lots of information out there to assist you. Good luck!
Hahah I will never get tired of you saying "boob light"
He’s Asian
It is now a standard term for those terrible light fixtures! LOL
Yes because it's a curved shape, like a boob.
you're so cool
Painting wood and tile creates a maintenance issue.
Ima be honest. Very few of the "after" do i prefer, but I do like traditional stylings. I think the most successful changes were the ones with color. I hate the black/white styles and the cold feeling of the paint and "modern" designs.
There are a lot of spaces here that benefit greatly from adding a carpet. I would suggest avoiding adding a carpet to a kitchen, though. Seems like a bit of a slip hazard and a filth magnet for that particular space
Yeah a carpet can be nice in bedroom or study, but kitchen and bathroom are the two spaces I'd never recommend carpet, regardless of preference :D
Who else caught the typo? 😋
I laugh out loud when I hear “alternatively”
Wood panels and all white, imo, are both trends that won’t age well
A lot of ads :(
I love that all the after photos renovated their lighting too through Photoshop lmao. High misleading imo.
