    The bookshelf was a visual upgrade, the table looks best by the door, it really does complete that area.

      Would 💕 that bookshelf! The medieval chair could be great with an up-cycle to un-medieval it😂. Or just add a throw and cushion?

    I like how you make decorating attainable.Some "designers" make it seem so exhausting, overwhelming and expensive. You were able to do this project with ease and considerably inexpensive with your previous finds and items already in your home. And you made the room look more like a home instead of a showroom. Even when your decision wasn't quite clear you would "live with it" and make a final choice later. Thank you

    Your home is lovely and such a refreshing change from the current trend of white on white. I feel like your home shows who you are and that is a great compliment. The fireplace idea was good.

    I didn’t think I’d like the painted fireplace, but it really works! It’s beautiful. The plant in the pot next to it is perfection.

    @camper800 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +12

    I like how the red paint brings attention to the design. Any darker colour, even slightly darker, than the colour white would draw attention to the art deco design. The TV stand is so unique!

    Love the bookcase but I would put the canisters (all 6) back in the kitchen and maybe add some greenery. Great lamps and shades and great curtains.

    • @livingwithlk
      @livingwithlk  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Thank you!! Haha the canisters were never in the kitchen! lol they are definitely the controversial decision of this video for sure! I really love them for now, they make me happy, and eventually this bookcase will change as I am always changing up my decor! Thank you so much for watching!

    I love the advice from home decor author Lauri Ward in her “Use What You Have Decorating” book (circa 1998): she suggests a person should rotate their collections for display like a museum does. A museum has too many items to display altogether so instead feature certain collections/items at different times or seasons etc.

    • @LouriLarash
      @LouriLarash 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I like what you’ve done! But I would delete the gothic chair. It’s redundant with the white chair and also very heavy visually

  • @cathywilson5580
    @cathywilson5580 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

    Girl go over the fireplace color with some antique wax. It will make it match the hearth perfectly. Trust me 😊

    • @livingwithlk
      @livingwithlk  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I have some of that I might try it!

    • @hellykay
      @hellykay 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes, I was thinking that the fireplace still looks a bit too white to me.
      I was also thinking that darker pieces of artwork close to the tv would blend the screen in more. Like actually in the after shots the dark chair kind of takes focus away from the tv.
      I love that you don't want to make tv the focal point of the room (and the fireplace very clearly should be it) but your room is hard to figure out in that sense.
      My favourite idea for the tv would be a thin cabinet with wheels (and with doors, like old radio/tv cabinets were)! That could be rolled in front of the fireplace (or anywhere) when you want to watch it? Maybe it could be a console table behind the couch normally?

    You have a great eye for decorating 😃👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. I LOVE your new living room. With your TV - leave it on the mantle and rig a picture over it when it is not in use. The picture can have a little of the brick red color in it too. Also, the are tv mounts that you can pull the tv down a bit so you won’t strain your neck. It’s actually an easy fix. I absolutely love your new bookshelves and how you decorated them. 👍🏼

  • @KattEyl
    @KattEyl 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    I love the idea of painting the shapes around the fireplace. Makes it look warmer.

  • @sarahb3606
    @sarahb3606 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

    The shoe rack and table look really good in the entryway and that bookcase was such a good find. I like the red paint on the fireplace and it does distract from the tv. I thought the tv easel would be a good solution but you were right, it did not work at all. The tv on the mantle thing is not ideal. Keep persevering you will find a solution!

  • @judybridges8796

    this video is 5 months old so maybe you’ve already solved the tv problem but something i love to do to cover up the vast black eyesore is to drape a fun vintage silk scarf over it. something that’s narrower than the tv but will cover a good chunk of it! i love your refresh & your design in general, it’s so thoughtful!

    Your eye for detail is so fantastic. I really love the careful approach of slowly acquiring each piece because you feel it is a work of art. Makes every part of your home special, and not just filled with things you need, but things that you also make you happy.

    • @clarastratford5443
      @clarastratford5443 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

  • @charliecat654
    @charliecat654 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I do basically the same thing. I start out changing just a few things on shelves, and before I know it, other things come and go, and I've moved half a dozen other things in or out of the room. It always ends up looking fresh and new. We all need that from time to time.
    What's amazing is that I have discovered that many of the things I have are interchangeable from one room to another. I have obviously discovered what I like. My style sort of snuck up on me when I wasn't looking!

    The "lip" on the bookshelves is supposed to face down. Its just there to make the shelf look chunkier. Thats an 80s bookshelf and i have one like it.

    You are so amazingly talented. It's incredible that it only cost a couple of hundred dollars to make the room look that good. I love your channel because the DIYs are realistic to achieve, and everything is so budget friendly. Have you thought about framing the TV and making it into wall art? I haven't done it myself but I saw it on another channel and it didn't look difficult to do.

    • @livingwithlk
      @livingwithlk  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thank you! I thought about it but I’m just not convinced I want that. Still trying to figure out a more creative approach.

    Such a lovely room... nice furniture and great colours. Iam struggling with the condition of the walls and ceiling. Mine was the same and I had them plaster skimmed...now super smooth. I think skimming the walls would be of great benefit. 😊

    • @livingwithlk
      @livingwithlk  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Oh cool! I am actually a renter so I can’t do that as the owner wants to maintain the integrity of the “spanish revival style” of the home but I agree sometimes I wish I had smooth walls! Maybe one day if we can figure out how to buy it haha!

    By putting the dark heavy looking chair beside the fireplace and painting the red definitely takes away from the dark looking television. It’s not so obvious. Good job I really like how you talk through your decisions.

  • @JudyCarter-kl7be
    @JudyCarter-kl7be 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I love the little table and I think it looks just right by the door. The bookcase was a fabulous find and looks great on that wall. The only thing I'd gently suggest is removing all the kitchen items from it and put them in the kitchen. Great job!

  • @cheri6785
    @cheri6785 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I just love your living room! I’m totally the same about not liking a tv up high or to be a focal point. When I was in my last place I simply placed a painting in front of it💁‍♀️

    I absolutely love the candle holder/sculpture you placed in the bookcase. The bookcase was a great find. You're right, painting the tiles on the fireplace does take your eye away from the Tv. I also really liked the TV set up on the easel. Maybe if you made or bought a frame for the tv when it's on the easel you could place it purposefully throughout the room depending on your need/mood at the time. You have some great art pieces. Love the lady with the baskets.

    The table to the right of the front door (not in front of the window) looks best. And that picture you hung behind the door looks like it was made for that spot! And the little shoe area is the perfect spot and height for the low window. Your videos make me miss the San Diego area. I grew up in North County.

    I like everything youve done. The TV over the fireplace though! Who originally came up with that unfortunate idea 24:18 . I have my tvs in other rooms - hate them in livingrooms. Would that work for you?

    • @livingwithlk
      @livingwithlk  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Haha I don't know why/when we started demonizing the TV... BUT it can feel like an eyesore at the same time, especially when its too high and its not tucked into a media unit.. getting a big enough one to hide it in is very expensive. I originally had this TV in our office/guest room but there was no real space for it there as that's a multipurpose room and then we just got a projector for our bedroom as its low key and we only watch stuff in there at night anyways! The TV is really for when family/friends come over, when we get addicted to a new TV show (which sadly we are currently lol) or when my partner plays video games occasionally haha.. Its not TOO bad, I am getting used to it as I live with it more! But I will most likely take it out of there again when our TV series is over haha.. its just an ever-evolving space..

    I think the red around the fireplace looks great and i would definitely leave the reading lamp as it is. The patina is great. There are a couple of things that i would change. I didn't care for the canisters in the bookcase or the shoe rack in the living room... But hey, if you like it that's what matters most. You did a great job all in all!

    Meant to add this in another video where you cleaned up caked on paint on door hardware. I've done refreshes of cabinet hardware using a dremmel with a wire brush. Great for the nooks and crannies and so fun to do. Maybe use a soft wire drill brush to get the rust off the lamp.

    To clean the lamp I would suggest bar keepers. It’s kinda like baking soda but it says it cleans brass. I used it on some candlesticks I thrifted and omg it brought back the shine in no time!

    I am with you on tvs. I really don't want to look at TVs unless I am using it. Some people put them in armoires, which would be too small for your tv, some get those TVs that you can digitally download a painting on it and hide it that way. I have a 21" tv and I have it inside a black bookcase which makes the tv not noticeable (black on black) till you use it which I love and I have seen someone build a cabinet in front of her's and put a print on the doors so you have art till you open the the doors to see the tv. A simple solution is go to A fabric store and find some tapestry/embroidered material and make a slip cover for it that way you can hide the tv, have art and take the slip cover off when you want to use it.

    First time viewer, but wow do we have a similar vibe. I have so many shelving units,( mcm collector) and like you ,I’m drawn to unique or sculptural pieces. I never tire of rearranging my displays. I too love playing with light, I have enough lamps that I display my overflow collection in my master. My stairway is an art and plant gallery. Can’t wait to go back and watch all of your content, and look forward to more. My friends tell me I should have a channel, but I’m happy watching others❤

      Hi!👋🏼That is awesome! I totally encourage anyone to make a TH-cam but it is a lot of work haha. I’m so glad this site is connecting me with my people!! Happy to have you here😊

    That synergy commentary made me chuckled 😆On another note, bringing the red/burgandy inside was such a good choice. I would have never consider that.
    The red tile is a little too neat/smooth compared to the terracotta red. Maybe adding a secondary color to create a texture will make the tile and brick look more cohesive.
    The bookshelf was such a steal! Love how the home is coming together.

    Hey! Lampshades made of fabric (good vintage ones) can be washed with water. After vacuuming the dust, Soak in a tub with cold water and presto!

    Consider swapping clear lightbulbs for frosted. You won't get the shadows from the shade's wires frame.

    Re: the big black box. Have you seen tried the tv mount that comes out & down to a (theoretically) more comfortable watching height? I’m considering one for our family room. 😊

    What you call the "side table" where you piled some blankets (at 21:21) is a telephone bench.
