Your home looks like such a joyful place. You’ve really created a beautiful space that balances serene and playful. I’m 40 and wanna be like you when I grow up haha Thanks for sharing your lovely space with us!
Hi Elisa!
I`m 57 and your comment could have been written by me :)))
37 here and I ‘third’ this comment 😂
I love that the miniature living room is now hiding amongst the 2D art. It’ll be that much more special when someone discovers it!
Every time you post my heart skips a beat! I love this series inexplicably
🥲 thank you so much
Me too! It's a beautiful, colorful dream home that most of us won't ever have, but we can enjoy Ariel's with her! (Can't WAIT for the kitchen ❤❤)
so amazing - absolutely love the wainscotting!! i would say no more artworks in the bottoms squares, but maybe some sort of thin long wooden bench that you can put cute knick knacks and plants on! can't wait for more home reno videos :)
A bench is such a good idea! Would make it into a proper mini gallery corner
Yes, a long side-table would fit in perfectly! Would add to the regency vibe of the original Emma 2020 inspiration too, they have those a lot in stately homes
Oohh I was just going to comment something long and not additionally frames would be cool, but I couldn't conceptualize it.
Even if not a bench like a tiny floating shelf for knick knacks. For some reason in my head I wanted to just pop a bunch of really cute, colorful or sculptural drawer pulls on the wall? Just like, decorative sticking out sculpture bits? But that also seems silly.
i agree
A deep green velvet covered long bench you can sit on can also be pretty!
the mini living room looks SO good with the rest of the frames! that was such a good idea!!
I’m obsessed with how it blends in now 🙈
Kitty comes on screen and instantly stole the show. Beautiful frames.
I loved the scene of you sitting in the garden with your kombucha about to plan out the frames. It was like something from a coming of age film. Really peaceful but also funny
Great gallery wall, I’m a no for art on the bottom. The eye needs space to rest too! Looking forward to seeing the whole room.
At first...I said "No way" to expanding the gallery to the floor...but then I laughed and thought of your kitty cat pausing to admire the art at his (her?) eye level. Go For It!
It looks great! No more art at the bottom - but if you have three or four little pieces they could be arranged vertically at the left of the doorway opening.
Keep the art on the top....it may be too busy if you cover everything...your home is coming along quite well...I've just subscribed after a year of checking your feed...a great adventure
I knew a man years ago that collected antiques and he would hang empty frames because he said they were pretty enough on their own.
lol, this made my day knowing that I am not the only weirdo who does this haha!
When you cut to saying ‘things have gone well for me’, I got a HUGE SMILE. Your joy is so wonderful! Thank you for sharing your journey.
I’m dying for the kitchen reno
Absolutely stunning (not that I expected anything else)! I'd hold off from putting up art in the lower boxes - it might not be convenient when you or your pets are waking past it and also, it might take away from how spectacular the two upper boxes look now.
So just spend some time with how it is now and see if you still want to try adding more in the future! Can't wait for the next vid! 🤍
Yes! And I think they won’t look as empty once there’s other furniture in the room
Agreed, and you could put a small buffet table there since it's a dining room
Wow, I forgot what it looked like before. Such a magical transformation!
Isn’t it crazy? 😳
IDEA! That left corner of the gallery wall - on the left of the doorframe - FLOATING BOOKSHELVES!!!!!! ps congrats on that gallery wall - it’s absolutely gorgeous, Ariel ✨
"sitting down was a mistake" might be the most personally relatable thing you've said in this series.
"stop working and start napping"
anyway i definitely think this was all part of the process. your brain saw the task ahead and went 'no, i need more time to *mull* .' an essential step, as everyone who mulls regularly knows. in fact, i'm so good at mulling, i tend to mull more than i do anything else.
I think the empty little oval frame would be perfect for a drawing or painting of your house exterior....it would be nice was to memorialize your home. Every time I watch your videos, I get the urge to paint a room in my house a fun color, then I remember that I have a tiny house and fun colors would be overwhelming....so glad you get to express yourself in such a creative way.
the only youtuber whose videos i wait for 😭❤️ what are we all gonna do when you will be finished decorating the whole house keeps me up at night 😂💀
I love that you are loving every space you work on. It’s a bit young and modern for me a times (middle aged n boring), but, this is YOUR home. And I love to see you love what you’ve done. And I do like most of it …. xxx
Wonderful job on the wall, it looks beautiful, lovely prints.
Opinion - art on the bottom sections - I say No at this time. If you're making galleries on the other upper wall sections, it may be a bit much. Finish the rest rest of the room first, then decide.
I feel like a wooden relief design is what would tie in the bottom two spaces, adding some visual flair but not drawing the eye immediately from the awesome gallery. It would be a lovely, subtle detail that enhances the wall and make it seem so much more like a Regency era drawing room.
I used to watch This Old House with my dad when I was a kid and for some reason this series brings a feeling of nostalgia that reminds me of that. Except, obviously, you use way brighter and happier colors than they did on that show! I love watching you do all these projects and see the joy it brings you when it's complete. It makes me want to take down the terrible, old, crumbling wallpaper in my room, patch the plaster up (because I know that's most likely cracking underneath the paper), and paint it! I cant wait to see each part of your journey with your house, especially the spooky room!
I still watch old episodes of This Old House! It’s so nostalgic and cosy.
Right?!? I think it’s her vocal tone. She has such a calm voice just like he did. Made staining a deck a lot nicer to do if you had instructions from This Old House and their lovely music too!!
I think you could 1. Paint the lower rectangles with pink, 2. Wallpaper them, 3. Spackle texture in them/ 4. Put some interesting art/ wands/ driftwood/ random things/ whatever you want in them. What do you love? Also, are they going to be covered by furniture?
What a treat for a gloomy Saturday afternoon! Happy to see you, Ariel!
Regarding your question about filling the lower sections with art too...you may want to consider that art hung that low down may get damaged by pets or feet, will collect more dirt/dust, and will limit your options with furniture placement should you want to rearrange the room. But your instincts with decorating have been so spot on, I would just go with your gut! Thank you for sharing your process with us, your videos are a joy to watch.
Using the molding as "meta-frames" for all the small pieces makes them feel more important than if they were just hung.
I think the best way too see if art would look good in the lower panels would be to cut out some appropriately sized pictures from an old magazine and then blu-tack them onto the wall the way you would maybe hang the art. Then take a few steps and see how it looks? If you don’t like it, no worries, the blu-tack won’t harm the wall and you can just throw the magazine cut-outs away!
I love this series, by the way. I’ve started doing mini-projects around my place, which I rent. I’m not allowed to paint the walls, but I wish I could live somewhere as colourful as you! The palettes you choose are always gorgeous! Xx
You're simply amazing, Ariel. This is beyond fabulous! PS. I vote NO to adding frames to the bottom. I feel that the blank wall above & below brings focus to the interest in the middle.
sorry I am still at the beginning of the video but I just have to say, thank u so much for showing us your cat 🥰🥰🥰
I'd say instead of adding more art on the bottom wainscoting you should just put a little bench or console table? More art might make it busy, but also kinda harder to view bc it's so low?
No matter what you choose though it'll be beautiful and we'll love it 😍
I'd love to be a fly on that wall when someone comes in who doesn't realize the tiny room in that frame is real, and they're like, wait what?! The whimsy is tantalizing! 🤗😊💕
Yes!!! Put art in the lower panels! I think it’ll add to the wall! You could use one more miniature frame below the oval in the panel on the right also! It’s beautiful though! 💜💜💜
The moulding looks like it's always been there, it suits the room so well. I like the art enclosed in the squares. I'm an artist and love collecting art, it's definitely special to have art up that you really love instead of the same old stuff anyone can buy. Looking forward to seeing more of the room 😊
Beautiful!! I’m always impressed w your vision and its application. Leave the art wall wall alone now. It’s perfect.
I think more in the empty spaces would be awesome. So fun following your journey. I get excited every time I see a post. Fabulous, as always.
huge fan of your cat waddling in, and out, of the room.
edit: amazing video as always, well done on the beautiful wall! I personally like leaving the lower portion of the wainscotting clear, the way it is now, as it leaves a nice place for the eyes to rest.
I like that you felt like you could leave the oval frame empty and not just fill it "for the video"! Amazing work as always!
I love the gallery wall. I would leave the bottom without art and just let the wainscoting shine!
Oh my goodness. That wall is gorgeous. I would not add art to the bottom of the wall. You will be adding things all around the room on the walls as you go. And it will all come together.
Every second you spent on that blanket was my absolute favorite 😂😂
I like it empty on the bottom!! Looks so so fancy and beautiful Ariel! You knocked it out of the park ☺️
I love your creative soul!! I love Thrift finds!!!
I have what I now call my "Wall of Fancy"... (I got the name Thanks to Farmhouse Vernacular) ...I have Family pictures, Works of Art from my Children and Grandchildren and things I adore!
It would be cool if you added some dried flowers under the circular painting on the right. The gap feels a little large, but the nice muted pastel look would make dried flowers look awesome! I would leave the bottom section blank as that line is typically a chair rail (especially in a dining room) and you don't want those paintings to get kicked, hit with a chair, etc.
I vote for no art in the bottom panels, but once the room is finished there may be a complimentary colour you could paint them!
The gallery wall turned out spectacular! I love what you are doing with your house. My vote for @23:12 is to leave the bottom of the wall alone. It looks great as is.
I think it would look really pretty if you painted the lower boxes inside pink like the trim. Love the tiny room in the frame!
Can I say that you have most whimsical, beautiful and hopeful music? It just feels so perfect for your videos Ariel. Also, I feel like I never thought about wall detailing until I watched your videos. Now I want board and batten and wainscotting everywhere!
What would look nice also is some of those small antique looking plates hanging on a wall mixed in with the pictures and/or framed mirrors...i did that on a wall and I like it a lot and those who come to visit stop to admire it as well..
If you ever end up doing another gallery wall it helps to cut out paper the size of the art and you can just move that around on the wall! The Sorry Girls do that on their channel
Omggg this looks so GORGEOUS!!
I vote keep the bottom boxes clear, having some negative space helps everything really shine :)
You should put fancy wall paper in the bottom bits of the wall. Like a little mural!
Beautifully done! The wall definitely doesn't need any more art on the bottom, in my opinion.
This house reno series gives me hope and inspiration. Thank you.
If you find an oval-shaped mirror, i think it would be a great addition to the missing image for the gallery wall!
It looks wonderful, well done Ariel! 😊
I think the sticker wallpaper from the video "tranforming the smallest room in my house with wallpaper" would look gorgeous to the small areas you asked our opinions for in 23:15 😉
I love the way this turned out. I'm not 100% sold on the color scheme, I think for a dining room, darker, richer colors would work better. I love yellow, so maybe more of an ochre version would be good, and that would play off all the frame colors really well. And then I would go a bit darker on the trim color as well, just to make the space feel cohesive. The hallway color is already in a darker shade, so I think having the color scheme in the dining room in that same tonal range would create a very cozy vibe in that whole part of the house, and draw more attention to the hue differences between the wall colors rather than the brightness/value and saturation/vibrance differences. But the panel molding look fantastic, and the gallery wall itself is spectacular.
i think putting art in the bottom two squares would be great!! i was actually surprised you didn’t
The first thing i thought after the reveal: Please put art in the lower parts as well! i think it would look amazing.
Gryphon great job on the judges paneling. Once you start with adding trim to your rooms, you wont be able to stop as it's what makes the home have so much character. I LOVE all sorts of trim !!! Vary it throughout the rooms, there is so many classic styles and designs. As to answer your question about adding the art in the lower boxes, no, I think it will take away from the overall feel of what you have done.
Well, count me tantalized. I’d love to see another video set in this room. It’s so great to see not only the tiny projects and the big transformations, but how the rooms are being used and being shuffled around in the interim. That has been the best part of this house journey you’ve been showing us for me. I have a sinking suspicion that were I to take on this task, I would just have boxes of my unpacked belongings everywhere as I ate out of grocery bags every day until I could get things done. But even if a room is going to eventually have a different purpose you seem fine putting in effort and time to make things nice ´just for now’. This has spurred me to do a few things in my own abode that have been little bits of joy in my days where I had always balked at the idea of doing something nice when there was something else bigger that needed doing. Thank you.
Cute kitty!! And your dress is beautiful!
That was a fantastic outcome. Congratulations.
For the two lower panels, my inclination would be for them to contain either two panoramas of a lake, or two panoramas of the leaves on a forest floor.
A delicate wallpaper with a yellow background (or victorian wall mural style) in those bottom panels might be cool! so they're filled so it doesn't feel "empty" but you arent hanging frames so close to the floor. you could mirror the paper on the narrow space to the left of the door frame too!
It looks a amazing and the wainscoting really makes the yellow wall more interesting by adding that texture and shapes. Even without the gallery wall it looked really pretty so the rest of the room will look gorgeous. Keep it up Ariel! I love that you are just doing what you want to your house rather than what’s in style and resell-able, your personality shines through and you really breathed life back into this house, im sure it’s glad to feel the love from you!
Your enthusiasm is so infectious!
Like a lot of other people have said, I look forward to every time you post about your house. ❤
I am a custom framer for a living and I approve of this gallery wall! The matting and non-UV protected glass on some of the art (especially your swamp print) does hurt my soul a little though lol. Honestly, custom framing is incredibly expensive and I can't stress how important and worth the price it is to protect one of a kind or meaningful pieces of art. BUT! I fully believe that you can make something look great on a budget and you definitely accomplished that. I am a huge fan of upcycling old frames that work for your art and you made everything tie together so well. Can't wait to see the rest of the room!!
I love these ‘smaller’ updates - makes taking on such a big project seem much more doable! It’s the odd jobs, the small steps over a weekend that add up to such a beautiful room. Now I want to add wainscotting all over my house!
It’s been said by others but a thin side-table underneath the gallery wall would be a great place to display other nicknacks like those bowls you picked up. (Might even be able to store the other mini furniture in it if you found one with a drawer?)
I feel like I'm vicariously living through you. Knowing myself, I don't think I'd want to go to the extremes (in the best way) that you're doing to your house. For me, watching you work on your old house is helping me be motivated to figure out what to do with my house. Originally I was going to do whatever was cheapest, but now I'm taking my time to think about what I actually want and researching how to do it and the cost.
You should put a long banner on the other side of the door, I think it will be a finishing touch . It could be a rustic old banner
I really crave a house tour so far video, just walking us through the rooms and nooks and all the spaces that are done and what you're planning to do next! I feel very much invested in your beautiful house as you can tell lol.
I have that on my channel! And I do it every year in January! :)
I think this is the exact amount of frames for that wall. 🥰
Wall paper in the bottom part of the wall could be a nice add on. :D
It was kind of funny seeing the flooring progress as the gallery wall was coming up as well, I'm excited to see the finished room!!
The tiny room blends in so well
Your whole house is like my goal in life!!! You are such an inspiration Ariel, you're doing an amazing job!!!
ohhhh yeah, I got all of my friends a piece of art for Christmas last year, and framed them all (bc I hate giving gifts that come with fun bonus errands), mats included, and yeah I absolutely learned never to buy new frames because *every single thrift store* has them, and they have so much more personality than most accessible ~new~ frames
Hi Ariel, I just subscribed! I binged your house renovations last night and today. I am super impressed. I also bought a 110 yo home in March of 2020, and I haven’t stopped working on it yet. You have the best ideas. And you’re not afraid of color; That’s pretty cool. I love your eclectic style and fun sense of humor. I appreciate a person who makes themselves laugh. Pretty sure we would be besties if we were in school together. I just want to thank you for sharing all of this content with us. Lord knows I have enough content to share with the world too, but you are much more motivated and brave than I. Cheers! Looking forward to the next video. :-) PS: I am in love with the pink and green relief print.
That dress is so pretty!
Your channel is everything I want out of TH-cam! Joyous, inspiring, full of interior design eye candy! I get so excited every time I see that you’ve posted a new video, thanks for all of the work you put into them.
You need more of these T-shirt’s printed!! Tried to buy but you’re all sold out. Shame shame. Anyway, you’re so inspiring. Your home looks like such a whimsical dreamy place to live. Such an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your life and your stories with us ♥️🙏🏼
This series has forever changed me
I'd say leave the bottom part art-free, it kinda stands on its own design-wise. Sigh, the whole wall is perfection! 👍💕😁
I love everything about this wall and your house! I vote that you fill the bottom spaces with more fun art! I think it would balance the space nicely:) Ariel, you are amazing!
I would say no to filling the bottom boxes with frames, it would be very visually busy and I also worry about anything bumping into the wall at that height. But if later down the line you feel like those areas really needs something, I would say a different color paint, or a bit of wallpaper, or even a mini handpainted mural in those panels could be really cool. I think a lightly patterned wallpaper in a yellow that goes with the walls would be the best option. Or stencil a pattern inside with a slightly lighter or darker yellow?! That could be fun!
The wall is so full of character and beauty now. I had two of those oval prints, one the same as the ladies here and then another one. I donated them a couple of years ago so hopefully they got a better home than sitting in a box in my basement.
This looks incredible!!! You should try to find a long skinny frame for the area to the left of the door on the gallery wall! I think that would help complete the wall and make it look more full!
Lovely! I wouldn’t add art on the bottom bc I’d be afraid it would get knocked down by pets or catch clothing and such of passerby’s. ❤️
I'm obsessed with this wall. also obsessed with the little Wes Anderson like transition where you were outside then the camera turned and you walked into the room. I rewatched that little bit three times!
My opinion on the bottom part of the gallery: I think it should stay empty. It looks good like that! I love that you put the mini living room box at eye level. All the art is at a good height. If it’s too low you may not be able to appreciate the art well.
It turned out GORGEOUS!!
I love all your videos and the way you are renovating and redecorating your home. And this gallery wall is just chef's kiss!!!! I'm so glad I found your channel. xx
It looks beautiful! Also no, I don’t think you should put art at the bottom of the walls for two different reasons. 1. Your wall needs room to breathe, right now the empty space balances it out with the very busy top, so it gives your eyes space to rest compositionally. And 2. Putting art and frames near the floor is asking for damage from being knocked, splashed, pets, and more. :’(
I think it looks lovely as is, excited to see the finished room! :)
all of these house videos bring me so much joy
I have an older custom home with lots of little surprises throughout. You’ve inspired me to get going on my beautification projects in my own home.
It is a privilege to watch you transforming this house! You are so creative and I love how you dive into the mechanical and designing aspects of it all. You've worked so hard and it shows. I truly can't pick which room I like the best, but that shadow box feature is simply amazing! I knew the placement was due to the wall studs, but it looked a little odd at the time... BUT IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE NOW! A house is an ever ongoing project, but if you love it it's not really a burden. Thanks again for sharing it.
Ariel has a new video up - time to make a cup of tea, get a snack, and settle in!
The way you have renovated the room is just mind blowing. I love the gallery wall 😍🤩 I like it the way it is, I think having art lower as well would be a bit too much 🤔 but you do what makes you happy!
You might want to add something from your renovation like a scrap of wallpaper in the round frame. It looks so wonderful.
You should do a gallery wall inside your diorama on the gallery wall 💖
