Looks gorgeous Leslie. Lots of hard work but so worth it. I’d paint the plug receptacles the same colour of the walls so they disappear, I do that everywhere in my home. Your basement looks absolutely beautiful, love the different sitting areas. 🥰 Great job. 🙋🏼‍♀️🇨🇦

[@lindarohlwing2829]

Agree

[@nancyandrews8891]

Well Said...

[@Chrissy_Mad-Scots-Wench]

Leslie, everything looks amazing. If you paint the switches to hide them, use a sharpie marker to write colours of paint inside, this will remind you if you need to touch up the walls at a much later date ❤

[@dianewristen]

BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL IT MAKES THE ROOM BEAUTIFUL

[@anniscrawford4210]

Great transformation. You’ll get so much enjoyment here.

[@sharanlesmeister5548]

I honestly think this is one of my favorite remake overs! Everything is PERFECT! Good job, Leslie!

[@ACharmingAbode]

Thank you Sharan! 💕

[@nancyandrews8891]

Sharan, Well Said...

[@gerryarmstrong3518]

Such a beautiful, cozy place to spend your evenings. You should become a decorator because you're so great at it!!

[@nancyfrank9609]

Your basement is lovely! For your cords try bundling the excess behind the lamp leg and running cord to plug just under the white ledge using cord clips. Command Hooks makes clear ones.

[@nancyandrews8891]

Love Your Wood All Around The Room, The Basement, which it doesn't look like a Basement !
Beautiful !!

[@shalenawright4173]

Wow! You are so great a making the room flow and it ties all together, love the mirror and all the lighting! Everything you chose is beautiful, just like you!

[@sj6728]

You are truly blessed with an amazing talent!!!!! Beautiful!!!

[@janeknight5070]

Your basement looks beautiful. It looks soft and warm.

[@gwenkaiser6836]

That’s the first time I saw Jason’s karate move! He is doing so well. Love watching your channel.

[@helensmith3917]

It turned out so beautiful and cosy, once again it has given me so many decorating ideas. You should definately write a decorating book, you are so talented.

[@tammylewis6296]

Wow!!!! What a stunning transformation!!!😍!!! Enjoy your cozy and beautiful basement. You all deserve it!

[@ACharmingAbode]

Thank you so much 😊

[@monicadrew5140]

Ohhhh Lady, ya knocked that out of the park!!!!❤️💜

[@lianeabeyta4515]

everything turned out so nice. Love the blue with the woods. For that awful plug high on the wall... first I would paint it the same color as the wall so it would not standout so much... then I would take the cord from the lamp, add an extension cord and run it behind the mirror to plug in the other side with the other lamp , eliminating the cord up high on the wall.

[@Living_Your_Best_For_Less]

WOW!!! That looks like a million bucks! I absolutely LOVE it! Everything turned out fantastic! If you don't care for the bar stools you could always paint them and then recover the seats in a navy fabric. It's super easy to unscrew the tops and then staple gun your new fabric to them and then just screw them back on to the legs!

[@terrymoore3978]

What a tribute to Jason and his precious family and friends! To Mikayla, I want to say I know what it's like to live many miles away from your dad, as he and your mom negotiate the changes. It has to be so much harder because of his young age. I was raised in Pensacola, Fl, and moved to North Carolina in my early 20's. We saw them often, but I still wasn't able to be there all the time, and flew back and forth frequently. Honestly, the best blessings you can bring are the calls and facetiming. To hear your sweet voice is the salve they both need. Kelsie, what a blessing that you are close by. The trips you took and all of the adventures will be sweet stories to share with your little one. Remember, your dad lives on in you! I will be praying for both of you girls.
My husband has Parkinson's and I see the fatigue set in during the afternoon of every day. His neurologist explained the type of fatigue felt by patients with these types of cognitive issues is one we cannot fathom. Thank you, Leslie, for sharing your life with us. You can't know what a gift it is for me. God bless you.

[@tmaffeo]

Oh Leslie , you really did it this time lol . it looks absolutely beautiful colors , the coziness . perfection
🌻🌻🌻

[@darleneschuelke7149]

What an amazing transformation ! It's all beautiful ... Leslie I love how you explain each piece and how it all works together thank you for that ....

[@ACharmingAbode]

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoy that! 💗

[@ellendown5508]

Oh my it’s just gorgeous. You are amazing and love the ideas of using the tape and paper to guide you on the spacing of furniture and pictures as that saves so much later.

[@deborahwinter5018]

You did a fabulous job!
So gorgeous, I really like the
Transformation !
Elegant, yet cozy!

[@jeaninewalsh5120]

So cozy and fun!!🍿🍷🪴💖 Love your paint color and furniture choice. Grandkids are going to Love it! You could paint the stools until you find exactly what you are looking for. Spray paint is a good quick fix. Enjoy!

[@cocoloco9173]

I love it!!!! You and Liz are my favs!!!!

[@TRoxanne55]

What a difference. Looks so much better

[@valeriewalker6023]

Love what you did. The space looks so warm and inviting now!!

[@HomeSweetHearth]

What a difference!! I love the palette you used. I gasped when Alexa turned on the basement 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 It looks ready for family night!

[@ACharmingAbode]

Thank you friend! 💗

[@christinaamezquita84]

What a BIG difference I love how you decorated everything. Such a cozy place to be in. Great job as always.🥰

[@fransirahome]

I love that big mirror. the basement turn beautiful.

[@JustIdeas000]

Love, love, love the arched window. I would hang it above the console table, to line up with the RH edge (that’s not symmetrical but it draws the eye up and creates a faux window which psychologically gives a sense of looking outside).

[@sah3181]

Yes

[@ACharmingAbode]

Hi! Thank you! The arched window didn’t fit above! It’s way to tall!

[@antigoga9476]

Wow Leslie what a transformation 👏 I loved it 😍 excellent choices. The basement looks awesome 🤩

[@CJ21CJ]

Absolutely perfect! I wish I had the creative mind to do a room make over! You guys are quite the team! Love it all!

[@mariafriad6113]

Love your decor and you are a lovely couple.God bless your family.

[@angelusdragon6580]

Wow!!! Your basement looks better than my entire house... Great job...

[@dinawhite5175]

Wow that looks beautiful really classy and very calming space You did a fantastic job I really love the colors

[@patgriffin1925]

Hi Leslie and Jason, The transformation is absolutely beautiful! Love all of it! Leslie you do everything so effortless. You are blessed with beauty and talent!!!

[@shawnbartels6091]

Looks so nice! A tip for hiding cords is using double sided tape and taping to back of console table along the top of back of table and along the back of floor lamps and along the wall.

[@joymiller-fite1444]

Hi Leslie, The lights in the bookcase are everything!!!!!👍

[@ladypeach7569]

I love 💗 your beautifully made over basement! So cozy and comforting, too! Great job! 👏👏💗💗🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@x.bev.x3006]

Looks fab!! Think I would be spending all Spring and Summer in there...just tootle outdoors and back in to the lovely basement 😀

[@sheliabowen7094]

I love the way everything looks. I like blue colors and one time I had everything blue In my house .Even My floor covering. Love you andJasonand love your hair All looks great🥰❤️😍

[@margarquetfortunato2913]

I loved everything about your basement remodel!! From the warm color of the walls, to the new pillows and that MIRROR!! Great idea for the grandkids pictures! I know they will look amazing! And it’s Super affordable too! You have the magic touch for sure!! Love everything you do!! I’m SO grateful for you Leslie! ♥️

[@geraldineross5168]

Beautiful placement of your accessories, love your decorating style! ❤️

[@debbierester295]

Everything looks beautiful! What a transformation! I too love blue and have it as my accent color along with all my neutrals!

[@darehco]

Looks so beautiful, cozy and inviting.

[@cjfromtexas3954]

Love your basement. Wish we had basements in Texas

[@tracy_222]

Looks great👍🏻🏠 one suggestion I would have placed the large wooden wall arch over you console table.

[@nealbettie5327]

Love it!
I would paint white and distress the bar stools, then reupholster/recover the seats in a fabric tying in the blue hues. Miracles happen with a staple gun.

[@florencegarza4232]

Awesome job as usual 👍I love your choice of wall color, just perfect! All your decor fit just right. You are so talented and so blessed.👏
I am always impressed with your work.👍

[@sheilahackney6214]

Wow! Such a transformation! It is just Beautiful 💞👏🥰

[@wandabagi2317]

Absolutely beautiful! Love the way you decorate!

[@crystlehernandez2872]

It's so pretty 😍 I love it. Well done. Jason made me laugh when he jumped out of no where and you saying he was complaining that morning his back hurt and then he mentioned ibuprofen with a smile. Too funny.

[@betsyrose9233]

Beautiful and inviting for family and guest!!

[@sdeaglefeather]

Awesome! Elegant yet relaxed.
One paper thing I discovered a while back… newspapers always have roll ends that they will sell. They run anywhere from 2$ to 5$ and work for just about anything. Even a place for grandkids to draw and do their crafts, etc. and they don’t get the area messed up.
Love the look of the basement. 👍🏻

[@vickisturgill4792]

Your basement is beautiful and very welcoming

[@lisafarnsworth3887]

Wow!!!! You are truly gifted!!!!

[@lindaevans9781]

Leslie, wow that is just beautiful! It has such a cozy feel, and the wall colour is very warm. You did a wonderful job.

[@sandythornton5166]

Wow, what an incredible transformation!! This is a gorgeous room and so inviting!! You really brought everything together to make it a cozy space to enjoy!! Wonderful job!!

[@NinasHere4U]

Leslie, everything looks beautiful! I liked it before but now WOW it looks gorgeous 💙

Hi 👋 Donna how are you doing?
Hope you don’t mind if I subscribe to your channel

[@csutherland11]

Beautiful and fresh!! I like the shape of your barstools, if they’re sturdy I think they would look great painted and recovered

[@barbielumbard1172]

It's beautiful! You make it look so easy! I struggle so much with décor!

[@joannpergakis4183]

Oh my! So beautiful, please come to my house, lol
You did such a beautiful job, classy
Love seeing Jason , always a smile, no matter what you just want to make pop corn and watch tv , love it

[@ACharmingAbode]

Thanks so much 😊

[@adelelarkins5921]

Beautifully redecorated !!!

[@anastasiaag8486]

So beautiful, you don't think it's a basement!!!!!🌹❤💖

[@treasureslayer3049]

Leslie those barstools would be so easy to cover the seats and paint the wood if your not liking that. Seems like they are really good quality. Great video

[@peggydove8756]

That's a great room!! Wonderful job!

[@gayemarianesfox2405]

Everything looks great and so well-thought out. You can’t have too many books, birds or greenery! I also see the bird silhouette in that little vase thing.

[@nicolestroh1581]

That basement is showroom status!!! I love it!!!! Perfect spot on that couch to watch one of our two recent snowpocolypse’s! 😉. Looks great. You did great and made great choices!!! Love it!

[@margaretfinney6546]

You have such wonderful taste…very nice💕💕

[@sharonjames4661]

[@briannadamico6752]

[@ACharmingAbode]

You just made me smile! I wondered if anyone would notice my new microphone! I've been working on trying to record better quality videos! Thank you for noticing! It means a lot! 😊

[@HandbagDiva]

I just ordered that rug, what a great price for a beautiful rug!

[@reneloper9074]

Very beautiful I hope you enjoy it for a long time coming

[@sj6728]

I recently moved and I have used the hair dryer trick so much. Thank you for that tip.

[@marshawaits8397]

I love how it turned out🥰 Everything looks so cozy. I really like the colors you picked. You really made that room look so inviting.

[@robinduke3184]

I found a book to display in a room I’m remodeling and the sticker price tag was right on the front.🤦🏼‍♀️ It was such a great price, I took a chance and bought it, because I remembered your hair dryer trick. Worked like a charm! Thanks!💛

[@melonywilliams2795]

Looks awesome!!!!! You did a great job!!

[@vickieschulze1120]

love you - love Jason!!!!

[@GrammyMissLisa]

I love it! You are great at decorating!

[@janwilliams6517]

Put tape on the cord behind the console table to hid cord. Tape it to the back of the console so it doesn’t droop. Pick your tape. Duct tape, painter’s tape.

[@KirestenK]

Looks so good love the paint color.

[@nancyandrews8891]

Great Idea putting a shelf there...

[@joycedwyer3799]

Beautiful

[@teresabarkley2656]

Such a beautiful space!

[@beckymccollum-mccrea5793]

I love your videos and you! Praying for you and Jason everytime I watch. If you haven't already gotten a suggestion for the bar stools, I would say, just get some naugahide and recover them to match the blue you're going with.
