It's SUCH a handsome room now and it blew me up laughing and nodding along about the change-resistant man. I bow before you for your courage and him for digging the positive changes. I really appreciate seeing how much good stuff you could do with stuff you have plus a bit extra. Like, this room just looks like real life but with thoughtfulness and careful work - it's really sharp.
Aww, thank you! You know the struggle is real! I'm telling you--he did NOT want me touching this room. But I was like, "Dude, it's THE messiest room in the house, and it needs to get done." He really appreciated it when I was done. I think he just didn't have my vision. I don't think I even had a vision, because I was limited in what he would allow me to do (I wanted to make a DIY desk but he was adamantly against that. LOL). But in the end, it all came together nicely!! Thank you, so glad you like it!
That sweet smile on his face at the end......was EVERYTHING! Love how you broke through his resistance & provided an organized, creative workspace peppered with character & love for him. Well done.
YAY! I'm glad you like it! It was THE perfect painting for the room! I was so happy that I remembered we had them. We still have like 3-4 paintings! This was the coolest, though. ;)
Beautiful, yet simple! We women knows what to do. It’s a drastic, but functional change in the room. Of course, he’s going to love it. Thanks for sharing your talent.
I love that you use the phrase “It’s good enough.” Perfectionism has been a harsh taskmaster for my whole life. “Good enough” offers a much better perspective for me with much less stress and discontent. The room looks beautiful. He cannot help but enjoy working there without the chaos.
I 💜 *everything* about this make-over! My family is still in pre-move mode & everyone is planning how they're going to decorate their rooms, except my son. I showed this to him & the said that he'd like a room like that!!! 😮 {shock and awe!} My son is a creature of habit & hates change too, so it's a win/win. Tfs!!!
Goodness me! That is an amazing change for a relatively small cost, especially considering the way it feels and looks afterwards to the general storage blah room from before. It's ready for your hubby to have a good and creative day - a space specifically for him - it's wonderful!
I love the color of the accent wall, that is a beautiful blue; and that art work. Great Job! Glad hubby finally came around and like the finish product. The smile on his face as he was playing around with his new desk. 🙂🙂
Love that blue and I sure love your videos. Helpful hint: If you used an extension pole with the roller, and stand back a bit, you can make longer strokes and your arms won’t tire.
The finished product turned out very well. I have a home-office space that could really draw from the creative ideas you've put into place here. Thanks for the ideas and we'll put them to good use.
Yay! This was awesome! You did an amazing job. I really need that Wagner smart painting roller thingy in my life. Yes. I can definitely relate to a husband who does NOT like change. I’m glad hubby liked the finished product. This gives me hope…although, like you, I plant to do it anyway. He needs it.
I don't use painters tape, but I use a squeegee to protect the ceiling and paint up to it... then move it along to protect the area you don't want painted.
I really Love how this room turned out ❣️ Sometimes the best makeovers are with stuff you already have!! Because you already love them 😁 So glad your hubby is happy with the CHANGE 😉
It became so open en organized, looking good, Serena. So recognizable, got a son like that. One big letting go there. And also, the wolfing down the food leaving non left. My friend once put the chocolate in her washing machine to prevent her son from eating it. When she sneaked to it to take a piece she found a note with "clever, mom, it was delicious" XD
So great!!!!! 😍😍😍 I'm sure he is thrilled..... love all the great info, esp about the paint roller! Bookmarking for later!!! 👍 ..... Side note suggestion: feet or legs on the file cabinet would really help, even if its only adding a wood base....gets it up off the floor....you will thank me later
Awe! He seems like such a private and humble man. But he seemed to love his new office. Love the desk, it’s perfect for him and fab office. So happy you pushed forward with it. Office looks huge now. Makes me wanna tackle some rooms now! Let’s go! 🙌🏽💪🏽
You have described him PERFECTLY! I just read him your comment (because it's so spot on) and he said, "Wow, can they tell that from just the video? Well...thank you." Haha. He appreciates your comment! He is THE single most private person I know. So for me to post his space like this, with him in the video, he was stretching himself in ways he doesn't usually. And humble, yes! He's such a good man who takes nothing for granted. I've got a good one! Thank you for your insight, Anna!
@@ThriftDiving I knew it! You have a very good one Serena, plus he doesn’t hold you back, but allows you to spread your wings. All my best to your family.
Gorgeous!!! Love everything about it! My husband and I share our home office and it has been a struggle keeping it tidy. We are in the process of getting rid of more items. Your transformation is beautiful yet masculine. Perfection!
Wow Serena that's a stunning makeover nice colour change dear me he's a lucky boy having such a devoted wife I would chop me leg off for a such a wonderful woman like you brilliant job best wishes Phil 👍🙏🌹
Great job! The room looks so much better and I bet your husband appreciated the love you put into it. We're a thrifting family too, love finding bargain treasures, so I'm impressed at how you created a beautiful space so economically. Thumbs up! 👍 😊
Yeeess, he is! The funny thing is that while I was working on his office, he relocated to the walk-in closet (remember I put a desk in the walk-in closet I built?). Now, he won't come out of the closet because he's "afraid to mess up the new office." HAHA That tells me that he really likes it!
Gorgeous makeover!! I’ve been searching for the perfect blue for the accent wall in my off but almost went for an almost blackened blue. That English Channel is beautiful!
That's the perfect place for an office space! Hardly anyone uses a dining room anymore. I use my dining table for doing puzzles! HA! Thank you, Twiggy! :)
Looks great! I have the same problem with my husband, he resists changing anything, even if I want to paint a white wall white 🤣. After I went rogue and painted my office and the kitchen, now he asked me to paint his office too. I joke that I am obstinated as much as he is stubborn. 😂😂😂😂 the frames and artwork look awesome! 👏👏👏👏👏✌🏼🇮🇹🇧🇷
Thanks, Karen! So funny, but you should have seen how defiant he was to change....UNTIL he saw it. And I bet you right now that if I wanted to change it from how it looks now, he would resist it again. LOL

Where did you get that standing table from?
Ok, saw this and must have missed it in your other video! But I am loving that Wagner paint roller sidekick. Oh yeah! Must get it!
How long did it take to paint that room? Without changing the accent wall paint.

Awww, you're so sweet, yes! Character and love are well-described words! ❤️ Thank you!!
That photo you stretched and framed came out looking so nice! Love the white curtains on that dark wall.
YAY! I'm glad you like it! It was THE perfect painting for the room! I was so happy that I remembered we had them. We still have like 3-4 paintings! This was the coolest, though. ;)
This came out beautiful! I love your hubby’s face at the end. Looks so satisfied!
That boyish grin of his told me the whole truth: he likes it! He should have trusted me more, but change is soooo uncomfortable for him.
I know right? He looked so pleased. 🥰
Beautiful, yet simple! We women knows what to do. It’s a drastic, but functional change in the room. Of course, he’s going to love it. Thanks for sharing your talent.
Thank you! Yes we do! Men should learn to trust our insight more often. 😉 Great perspective!
I love the look of happiness on your husband's face. I am glad he likes his new space.
The ending was everything ❤️ So cute that he doesn't like change but loved it when it was finished. He's very lucky to have you.
What a difference!!! His smile says it all🥰. Great job!!
His smile makes all the effort worth it.
So happy for him that he's got a refreshed office space that he loves. Great job!
Your husband's smile says it all (and such a handsome smile at that) - you did a great job!!!
I love that you use the phrase “It’s good enough.” Perfectionism has been a harsh taskmaster for my whole life. “Good enough” offers a much better perspective for me with much less stress and discontent. The room looks beautiful. He cannot help but enjoy working there without the chaos.
I love this makeover! You can see how much your hubby loves it too at the end.
It suits him and it’s a wonderful work space and clutter will just make working a struggle. Beautiful job
That smile. I hate change as well, but when it’s a good change, I too am happy.
I 💜 *everything* about this make-over! My family is still in pre-move mode & everyone is planning how they're going to decorate their rooms, except my son. I showed this to him & the said that he'd like a room like that!!! 😮 {shock and awe!} My son is a creature of habit & hates change too, so it's a win/win. Tfs!!!
Aww, that makes me smile to read that he would like a room like that! Yesss, a nice blue accent wall for him!
Goodness me! That is an amazing change for a relatively small cost, especially considering the way it feels and looks afterwards to the general storage blah room from before. It's ready for your hubby to have a good and creative day - a space specifically for him - it's wonderful!
This make over should make him happier, You did and awesome job.
A gorgeous transformation!!! And so glad the hub was able to accept and enjoy the new digs! Love that dark periwinkle blue on the accent wall.
We're obsessed with how it turned out and it looks like your husband is obsessed too! Nice work with your SMART Sidekick roller to get the job done!
looks great!! what a transformation! Well done pulling that off . and your husband's happy face makes it all good
It's beautiful and your husband looks very happy.
Aww he looks so happy!! 😊 I know he's so proud of you and to have you as his wife!! And of course I love what you always do!! 😃
Your husband looked so happy at the end!! Great transformation!!!
I love the color of the accent wall, that is a beautiful blue; and that art work. Great Job! Glad hubby finally came around and like the finish product. The smile on his face as he was playing around with his new desk. 🙂🙂
Love that blue and I sure love your videos.
Helpful hint: If you used an extension pole with the roller, and stand back a bit, you can make longer strokes and your arms won’t tire.
He looks secretly chuffed! 🙌🏻 and I looovvve that painting, gorgeous room! He’s a lucky man 🥰
Thanks, Denise!! He was as so worried I would make a mess of all his stuff, but in the end, I proved that the room would be an improvement! :)
The finished product turned out very well. I have a home-office space that could really draw from the creative ideas you've put into place here. Thanks for the ideas and we'll put them to good use.
Your husband's office came out so nice! It's amazing!!
Great job! I'm sure it feels rewarding to have it looking so good and organized for his everyday workspace!
Amazing and stunning. Well done on insisting for some change in a room. It was so worth it!
You just gave me the greatest idea! Standing desk! Yes! Gorgeous room by the way. Glad hubby likes it!
Your very talented!❤ I'm glad also your hubby and you are ☺ happy too!😍
A beautiful makeover! I bet it is a more productive workspace for hubby.
I love it. It's so open and comfortable looking. Nice colors, too.
Yay! This was awesome! You did an amazing job. I really need that Wagner smart painting roller thingy in my life.
Yes. I can definitely relate to a husband who does NOT like change.
I’m glad hubby liked the finished product. This gives me hope…although, like you, I plant to do it anyway. He needs it.
This might be my favorite video of yours yet! The look on his face said it all :)
You did a great job!
The framing looks very nice too.
You make women look good!
You tackle stuff that is not easy and do it well!
It turned out absolutely beautiful! His smile at the end was so big! 😊❤
I love your personal touches.
I don't use painters tape, but I use a squeegee to protect the ceiling and paint up to it... then move it along to protect the area you don't want painted.
So glad hubby got a grown-up masculine work room. ✌🏼👍🏼👏🏼
Looks so good! Love the vibrant painting.
Thank you! Me too! Can't believe we had that in the closet for 10 years!!
A much needed transformation. Love the accent color.
Someone looks very happy!
He was so touched.
He was! The smile said it all! He's not a very expressive man when it comes to saying he likes something, but that smile gives it away! :)
@@ThriftDiving yeah. I agree. I love when they play tough and then they melt when shown so much love. Lol. The room came out amazing.
This is so beautiful and realistic!
good job!! ive spent most of my 83 yrs decorating -- if he questioned me, i just said -- trust me -- he was never disappointed
this was so sweet! It is too true, sometimes you have to see the new desk in a space to be ok with it
I really Love how this room turned out ❣️ Sometimes the best makeovers are with stuff you already have!! Because you already love them 😁 So glad your hubby is happy with the CHANGE 😉
Awww my favorite video. Great job on reluctant hubby's office 😍
It's a totally different space now! An amazing home office. Glad it's hubby approved. (:
Very nice, love the blue wall.
Especially loved all the very personal art.
Wow! What an incredible transformation!!
What a beautiful transformation. Love it.
Can you imagine trying to work in that room!
Good job and so nice.
I love that painting that's absolutely breathtaking.you do so mind blowing thangs .I love it all
That blues corn silk is such a pretty color! Hmmmmm..... inspiration for my soon be accent wall in the kitchen! Thanks!
We Stan a supportive spouse! He better appreciate you back big!! 💜
It became so open en organized, looking good, Serena. So recognizable, got a son like that. One big letting go there. And also, the wolfing down the food leaving non left. My friend once put the chocolate in her washing machine to prevent her son from eating it. When she sneaked to it to take a piece she found a note with "clever, mom, it was delicious" XD
This turned out beautifully! One day I'll have the guts to do a feature wall!
Give it a try! It really does add some dimension to the room without having to go "all in"! :)
Nice makeover, glad he liked it
Awesome transformation Serena!!!
Thank you, Nikkie!!
Lovely . Love the accent wall
So great!!!!! 😍😍😍 I'm sure he is thrilled..... love all the great info, esp about the paint roller! Bookmarking for later!!! 👍
.....
Side note suggestion: feet or legs on the file cabinet would really help, even if its only adding a wood base....gets it up off the floor....you will thank me later
FROM BRAZIL: the makeover was great, indeed, but the most beautiful thing was the husband nice smile, after all. 😊

UGH, this is such a gorgeous makeover!!
The Navy blue is pretty. Very nice room✊🏽
Gorgeous makeover!! I’ve been searching for the perfect blue for the accent wall in my off but almost went for an almost blackened blue. That English Channel is beautiful!
I think you'd really like this color, Cheryl! It's deep blue, but not too dark, not too light! :)
WOW! Just wow!!
Lovely makeover. The framed pics are lovely, particularly the silhouette of Ghana
Thanks! That's a favorite of mine, too. :) Hubby likes it, as well!!
What a wife!! Nice work and cool work all around
Thank you!! 😁
Glad he like it! 🤗 Good job! 🙌🏼😊
Wow that room looks incredible like new 😍
One of your greatest ideas, wow!
I have a Hubby that is the same way until I have the changes all done. Then he is showing everyone how good it looks 🙃😃
Me as well! (And mine would also be in track pants or shorts lol)
Beautiful room makeover
It looks so good! I've actually been wanting to reno our dining room into an office space. (It's also our catch all room too)
That's the perfect place for an office space! Hardly anyone uses a dining room anymore. I use my dining table for doing puzzles! HA! Thank you, Twiggy! :)
Awesome makeover !!! You all make a really cute couple ❤❤❤.
That’s a really nice office now!
Looks so great Serena!
Great job!!! Love the blue wall. 💙
Great job! I am so impressed!
Your very talented! I love your videos. ♥️. I feel so brave after seeing how fearless you are . Thank you. 🙂
Beautiful room. Really like the accent wall.
Thank you, Julia!!
The office looks real nice!
Beautiful makeover!
Looks great! I have the same problem with my husband, he resists changing anything, even if I want to paint a white wall white 🤣.

Look at that smile he gave you - :-)
Fantastic makeover!!! I'm convinced about using that paint roller and will ensure to purchase one. Thank uou
That blue looks like the color from Behr that I use a lot, Bon Nuit. Love it. The room turned out fantastic.
It's a fabulous shade of blue! The one is Behr English Channel.
