Hello my friends. I'm so glad you're here. Due to the overwhelming popularity of this video, I've made a PART TWO video sharing 10 additional Clever Home Hacks for you. bit.ly/33Wh7eb Watch now to get even more relatable ideas you can use in your home. Sadly, I'm about to sell my home in San Diego and move to Tulsa Oklahoma. I will have a FULL HOUSE TOUR video coming soon... so keep your eyes open for that. Spoiler alert :-) I've remodeled that dated Kitchen!! WOO HOO!!! RR
Watched part 2 is was great too...I've learnt some thing new again and I love your front door...absolutley designing ours now....thank you. And sweet bitter but hello Tulsa and Rebecca and kinwoven new adventures...congrat and bless 🎉😘🙏🏼💖💖😘
I could really use a new stair banister and a built in next to my fireplace,new paint and some flooring! My house isn't that old it's 17 year's old,but it could use some sophistication! ❇️🌷❇️ Rebecca, I was wondering if you are still having design session classes?
Looks like World Market ☹️
Sorry World Market, I love your store;
just not wall to wall World Mkt.
Her house looks like her hair do.
I have to ask. Will you take your vintage chest of drawers with you to your new home? This video was another favorite of mine. Not too many people would think about cutting the legs off furniture to make it fit a home and dare to do it!
Oh v1
I love that your house is REAL- it's a home. We are all not in a point in our lives where we can purchase a 2.5mm mansion and have a designer do their thing. I'm always looking for practical ideas I can implement in my *home* that I share with a husband and 3 kids who, you know, LIVE in our home. Like right now our family room's coffee table is displaced off center to make room for VR games on the PS4. I adore the mirror in the entry. I would love to replicate on the wall you walk directly INTO when you walk into our home. And your staircase makes me swoon. Love love love. Clever ideas!
1st impression was oh this fancy rich lady is going to show us her billion dollar home. But I was impressed with your ideas and your before and after. Goes to show you don't have to be a millionaire to have a big beautiful home
I thought the same thing... but she's really nice I think
Jenna Salgado don't get it twisted this lady is money so of course she can do all these wonderful things. I'm a big fan of hers and I've been following her for many years trust me she's no broke broke 😂
Same! I was shocked at how diy it was. i thought she lived in a mansion but its your average 1980s house
Kaththee1 not necessarily true I have family and a friends that are very wealthy. my uncle does renovations trust me the smart ones will do whatever is necessary to save there money no matter how much they have. It doesn’t matter either way to me as long as she’s happy. I would love to have her update my home I love you Rebecca ❤️😘
Lol I thought the same thing!!!
I can't believe this!!!. I'm in the process of buying a house and I don't know anything about decorating. So the first thing that I decided to look for was for a video that would help me decide which color to paint the interior. And I found a really helpful channel and I started to binge watch some of her videos. Well today you came up on my recommendations. And I really like your creativity and the way you interact with the viewers. So I decided to go into your videos... And realized that I've been watching your daughter's channel all this time 😂😂😂

Rebecca, you are one of my very favorite designers! Your work is very dramatic and classy. Most people would not have seen the potential in that home. But you had a vision and brought it to life. Well done and so unique. My favorite is very hard to choose. I'd have to say it was the mirrored wall and staircase combined because it makes such an impact. However, everything you put your hand on turns to magic. I've really never seen anything you've designed that I didn't like. God bless you in all you do!
What you did with your stairs is out-of-the-charts creative, elegant, timeless... I have no words 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I definitely agree🙌🙌🙌
Right!!! That stair case is the HIGHLIGHT of her home !!!!! LOVE IT !
Gorgeous. Simply gorgeous.
Anyone have an idea what changing those stairs would cost? I too live in SoCal and have stairs that are not as bad as her before photos but closer to that than the afters!

I loved seeing your house before and after. I wouldn't believe that the old photos were actually your house because it looks so spectacular now. I hope you can keep adding amazing touches in the future.
Definitely love the staircase! Eliminating those upper kitchen cabinets was a simple, inexpensive change that packed a lot of punch. Love the mirrored wardrobe and the linen closet!

Omg Rebecca, the difference on your house from back then when u bought it until today. 😘❤️🇨🇦
My fav is the glass linen closet! Mine is more of a standard size but replacing the wooden door with a glass one will make it pop!
You just gave me an idea. I'm going to replace the middle section of my linen closet doors with etched glass ! Thanks!!
How beautiful !

I clicked on this thinking it was going to be a mansion tour by somebody who had it all custom made by a designer. I am so in love with what you did to your home and think you're absolutely incredible. I've just subscribed
beka26 thank you for subscribing. Means a lot to us. Welcome to Robeson Design 👏🏼
Robeson Design I am from Ireland can you please help me to change our new house entry way to living room how can I communicate to you?
beka26 She's the designer that custom made it all & it kinda feels like a mansion...especially at Christmas time.
Me too!
beka26 I completely agree with you!!!
That staircase! And I love the huge mirror and ikea mirrored wardrobes.
honestly! and its a reminder to people who write off ikea. you can use their pieces as building blocks to design around
@@osehietomi123 😍
Love your ideas ❤️ I just found your You Tube channel a couple days ago. I am getting caught up on some of your videos. I do some similar things in my home too. I use lots of mirrors to open up the space to give the illusion of a bigger brighter room, tall ceilings and bounce light off of. Except I have a much smaller budget. (I could have so much fun if I won the lottery! 💰😁) I purchased an antique credenza had a custom counter top made for it (and I put on myself underneath it hidden, 4 large industrial wheels so I can move it around). I use it for my kitchen island for additional storage and had the custom counter top made with it extending out further on one side where I have 3 matching barstools, to use for additional seating. I have a large flower arrangement, 2 tier fruit rack and candle on it. Works perfect in my open concept apartment for extra storage and seating. The space really needed something there just looked ackward without anything there. Wish I could change and add ceiling lights, but can't so I use wall sconces and added a light to my huge painting. Love the bedroom closet of mirrors and your large wall mirror in the living room.

Аccording to Feng Shua theory, to have a mirror opposite the front door is a failure, or to be more precise, all the positive energy that enters the house is reflected in the mirror and returns back. Looks like Rebecca broke this theory.
I will never get sick of rewatching these!
You have the greatest imagination. That staircase is a work of Art. The idea for the entry way I'm sure gave many ideas of their own. The buffets in the dining room, pure genius. The only thing I'd want to change would be the tile underneath the buffet. I'm not sure what I'd do with them, but it looks too dated for your home.
The shutter in the kitchen, haha, I didn't even think about how different that looked till you took the shutter away. Your children are fortunate to have you.
The kitchen island comment, "it gives me a place to chop, if I were to ever chop!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂too funny. Great video as usual, thanks for all the tips, you are so practical, I love it👍👍
You did a fabulous job making that house over into a stunning home. Back in 2007 I did the same thing you did with the florescent lighting - removed it, put in can lights, and then put molding around the recessed area. Made such a huge difference.
You are, without a doubt, the BEST DESIGNER I have EVER, EVER, EVER seen!!! I love you and everything you do!!! I love design, I am not trained but I have decorated many, many homes! You are such an inspiration to me!!!
AMAZING!! I have no idea how you were able to see past the way the house used to look! That's why you're the professional. 😀😀😀

Rebecca, you deserve your own show to be able to help these designers understand that not everyone has a million dollars to blow out their entire house at one time. You are awesome!!!
Yasssss I would like to see her kitchen remodel whenever it happens
Hey maybe you just dont like this kind of design. Its her taste for her house and tbh there are people who like it... people like me. I prefer alot of wood element in my house plus vintage style is not about uniformity of furniture.
Yeah me too, Bubble Boo! I love the way her house looks!
@Romeo Saniago let me guess, not enough balconies for you liking oh Romeo? How about you upload a tour of your house so we can all compare and be the judge. We are kind people so we won't be nearly as harsh on you as you were on this woman. Will that be a problem for your mom you think? Will she only let you film the basement where you troll the internet with your bitterness all day? If so we will still give it a fair assessment. Okay tag us all when you're done, see you soon, parting is such sweet sorrow...
sheila my best friend Damaris has had several cooking shows on Food Network and The Food Channel, and because of the way the kitchen needs to be set up for filming she couldn't do the shows in her own home. The networks had to place an ad for kitchens in our area (we live in Louisville Ky) that met the criteria the show needed. Turns out the kitchen they chose was really nice but wasn't like MTV cribs crazy or anything. The couple said they just finished remodeling last month so the timing was perfect. I didn't ask but they just told me that they spent about 125 thousand dollars on that remodel!!!! I seriously almost fell out of my chair. The kicker is she couldn't believe the deal they got 😂 she thought for sure it would be around 200 G's! I knew we were in a nice neighborhood, but I left there wondering how much are these frickin houses if they'd put 200 grand in just their kitchen alone...That's about what my whole house cost haha! Sorry for the long story but I thought that crap was crazy!
My husband grew up in S. CA. and his folks had that same red tile around their fireplace. Cutting the legs off of those chests in your dining room was so smart. The builder who put that tile all way across the room had no design sense, but you fixed it for sure.
Just revisiting this video after 6 years. The iron work, the IKEA hack, cutting the back legs of furniture to fit, and etc.. 😍
You definitely were ahead of time with ideas and problem solving.
You probably still are, but the rest of the world won’t know till another 6 years from now 🥰
Wishing you all the best.
first off, your hair is Amazing.... i love the contrast of the dark steps and light wood on the rest of the floor, what a transformation, your home is so lovely and perfect for christmas decorating... hehe
greetings from Kansas
see Ramon... you have to LOVE a person who has their priorities in order. HAIR first... yaaaaasssss!!!!
Cutting the legs off of those vintage chests is GENIUS!
That shutter to balance the kitchen - Brilliant! It absolutely makes a huge difference!!
That kitchen espresso cabinetry makeover is beautiful 🤩
The glass wardrobe is my favorite. Absolutely stunning.
and it's IKEA omg so smart

Holy cow! That iron work on the staircase is to die for!!!
Agreed. Its amazzzzzinggg! My gosh
Indeed! Awesome railing...!!!
That is the most beautiful change in the whole house,, but that was not inexpensive!
I love everything you have done to your house Rebecca. My house is nice but I would like to change my staircase after looking at what you have done. I am 75 now and I feel it’s a bit late to start to pull my house apart and put in a new staircase at my age. My, but it would be lovely. I am going to think about it though. You have great ideas. I’ve watched most of your videos, more than once and I must congratulate you.. All the best Rebecca, from Bonnie Scotland.
@@Kay-co9sg 75 is only a number. Go for it!
Everything that you changed in your home turned out beautiful & was very clever and very attainable for us working on a teeny weeny budget 😂😂😂 But the best part of your video, believe it or not, was hearing you say how long you’ve been in your home and your still working on it. It made me feel good to know that it does take time to pull it all together. When you said that, I was like “Ok Key, it’s fine to take your time (YEARS) to make sure that you have everything just the way you want it.” We’ve been in our home for about 15 years now and I did paint and ripped up carpets and brought furniture when we first moved in, but I wasn’t completely happy with the look, just wanted to put my stamp on it. We are now in the process of doing THE WHOLE HOUSE OVER and THIS TIME around I will definitely take my time and make smarter decisions so that I will LOVE IT 😍 Also I plan to work on one room at a time, instead of a little here a little there, this way I don’t get distracted and I can have a completed space, move to the next room and can really focus...... Living room almost complete, next will be the main bathroom, because it’s small and will be easy to complete, then the kitchen last. I will be watching to grab ALL THE TIPS I CAN GET FROM YOU 🥰 Thanks for sharing with us
Agree with so many below! First impression was ok this lady is kind of full of herself but then you realize she can BACK IT UP!!! Love all of these amazing and clever ideas and love your confidence!!!!!!
You know what I like you, you are realistic. And the fact that you took your home remodeled it to a point you don't have high-end pieces (that are to come) your home still looks like a million dollars. I see so many mobs and TH-camrs who fake the funk instead of working with what you have and making it your own in due time.

I've watched this video several times, yet, each time I watch it again, I still think that mirror is actually the entrance into another room. I have to purposely detach my attention from what I think in my head that it is and convince myself it's a mirror.
Also, adding that molding under the ceiling in the the entrance --- brilliant idea. It really makes you see it as higher than it really is.
LOVE the way the iron staircase widens at the bottom. What a difference it makes. Yep. Chopping the legs off those chests of drawers, ... again, brilliant. The fact that you can re attach them, makes it even better. The mirror covered closet doors ---- ahhhhh, gorgeous. Makes that room look twice as big.
I'm sure that mirror - that huge size - and the framing wasn't cheap, but it was much less expensive than totally redesigning the front of the house. She's a smart woman, with a great eye.
The mirror is my favorite part of the video!!!
Thank you for showing us your home. It just saved me 10,000 bucks! I also thought I would see this humungo elaborate home, but saw a beautiful warm homey home that you have done the best for the time frame and income you had to work with at the time, but is still beautiful and unique. We sold our dream home, that I designed and subcontracted ourselves, a couple of years ago and have downsized to a smaller rambler now that we are retired and I have felt very pressured to replace and fix up my nice but outdated home. I left a slab yard today feeling overwhelmed by the $10,000 price tag of the perfect stone I have been looking for (I have a knack for picking out the most expensive product on the shelf) since we moved in a couple of months ago. As much as I would love to, and could if I really felt like I wanted to, spend that kind of money on a counter, the practical side of me just can't allow me to do it. We have very dated 4" white tiles with 1/2 inch grouting between them, yuck,on our counters and I have just decided to seal the grouting with the white paint/sealer and call it good for a while. I told my husband we could tile the counter ourselves with square cararra marble tiles with 1/8" grout for a fraction of the price! We are do-it-yourself-ers. I realized after watching your post, I don't have to have everything I want for my house right now. Thank you for bringing me to my senses before spending soooo much money, especially since I have so many other things that can be done to make the whole house look better first. I LOVE your posts!!
I love the mirror in the hall creating the illusion of space! And I love the huge linen cabinets
I NEVER comment but I must say, I thought you were going to be like some of the other hoitey women I've seen and or met! Boy, was I WRONG! I so enjoyed you just being real, personable, and funny. Plus, kudos to you for not knocking the previous owners decor. How honorable that you stand on your own talent without having to put anyone else down! Love it! I wish I could get up and finish my house! Its been on hold now for almost 5 years! It sucks being sick!
Don’t worry you got to fight your sickness that’s the key! Get up and fight it hard- you will be fine in no time
You just have time to get very good ides for your home! You will be fine, just think positive ;)

Genius!!! My favorite part was where you removed the back legs on the two vintage buffets. Pure genius!
Impressive! This is what happens when you get advice from a seasoned designer, who understands principles and elements of design. She problem- solves design issues, while maintaining function and aesthetics. Beautifully done design solutions. Thank you!

You are so welcome. This video continues to amaze me. It’s probably my most watched home decor video on TH-cam. Over 7 million people have watched it and all I want to do is say...
NNNOOO ... watch my luxury home reveals... not this one!
I have home tours of multimillion dollar homes you should watch... why are you drawn to this video? It’s probably my least “produced” least impressive video on TH-cam... yet the most watched 🤷🏻♀️
I think it’s this... my California tract home is relatable. Not so fancy and definitely not very impressive... more people relate to my home than my client projects where millionaires can afford anything... anytime.
So for that, I’m glad I had my cameraman pick up his camera that day and follow me around my house the day we filmed this video. No script, no motive.... just organic sharing of the few things I did when we bought our home way back when.
You’all expect my home to look like my clients homes... truth is, my home looks more like yours than you might have though before watching this video.
Bottom line... I BELIEVE... A beautiful home has the power to change your life... I know this at my core and I’ve observed it for over 30 years now... 😘 IT’S TRUE
I’m so glad to see a designer use moody paint colors! I’m all about it!
At first glance I said, oh no, she's going to show us a tour of her million dollar home. One would never believe what you have done are just inexpensive design tricks. Your home looks rich and amazing! Thanks for the ideas!
Well..."inexpensive" is a relative term. I used to work in a welding shop. She paid a pretty penny for that railing. It's gorgeous and well worth the money for the impact she achieved with it...but I wouldn't call it inexpensive.
Great ideas. My favorite was actually noticing how you had a window to the right of the fireplace so you put a mirror and curtains on the left to balance it.

Wow! That entryway with the mirror straight ahead and the cut out in the wall for the hanging window frame! So creative. Brought in so much light!
I enjoyed seeing a makeover on an average style house using an affordable budget. This will inspire those who can't afford to buy their dream home.

Really? When did San Diego become affordable? I'd LOVE to be able to own such a huge house in San Diego! Love that city. As for her interior design in THIS video--IMHO, very perplexing. Alternating from the sublime to the repulsive. I don't think I've seen such extremes in a single designer. The sublime stuff's enough to keep me hooked, of course. (But just leaning that shutter against your kitchen backsplash? Can't you at least mount it? And it really isn't so expensive to remove the extra hearth. I mean, if you're in a position to buy real estate in San Diego, you should be able to afford a minor reno like that. Not in love with the lower-key closet door, either. So, the kitchen, and I didn't care for the dining room fixes--those two rooms looked collegiate, somehow, compared to the rest of what you did. Everything else was awesome, though! Inspiring, which is what you intended. Thank you. Always enjoy your videos.
@@comebacksparkles1252 Tell her how you really feel! (I kinda felt that way about the kitchen shutter too.) I like everything else. Great ideas for redo in my untouched home from 1952.
Actually some good, original, space-appropriate design tips that could be adopted/adapted by anyone, presented in a surprisingly clear, non-irritating way. :) Thanks!
I absolutely loved how you transformed the staircase!! So elegant! But then, I was wowed by the mirrored closet door along a whole wall. I appreciate your gift as a designer and am enjoying learning how to create a new design even on my budget, using your key concepts. It must be so much fun to be able to spend a clients money to achieve your vision. Yet, I see how much you commit to your clients and care about the details. You are amazing. I am so enjoying watching all that you do. Your talent is a gift. Thanks for sharing it with us!👏🏻❤️
This Rebecca is my very favorite video. What you did to your home was really very inspiring. That staircase with it's wrought iron balusters was sheer genius unforgettable.
I like your trick with the doors. Several doors on one wall drives me nuts too! The staircase is gorgeous. 15 years of revocation proves you are patient & plan things out. Great Work!
Your staircase is breathtaking! And love the hanging window peek-a-boo cut-out.
Those are my two favorite things as well.
I moved to all white for towels just because my husband helps with laundry and would not get them cleaned well enough so now they are clean! Makes my life so much easier! Love your ideas and l am looking at my home with a different eye!
Beautifully done, and so clever and innovative on a budget. The cream and dark espresso palette is timeless, classy, and great to layer upon with pops of contrasting colour. My favourite part was the entry-way; that stunning wrought iron staircase-bannister and full-length framed mirror, is real wow factor!
The staircase makes a HUGE difference. Love it!
Subscribe to my channel and I will subscribe back. Thanks
I agree, that change really surprised me, looks so elegant now.
Remarkable transformation! Each space in your home is styled beautifully! Love all your ideas! 🏡
@Agr8fullife, Thank you very much for taking the time to leave me your comment. Love to hear from my viewers! RR
I just watch interior decor vids like rain. You never know if inspiration will hit. Currently aiming for a sofa.
I keep saying what colours and light can do...but this is AMAZING... in love with your mirror, wall to window cutting and oh those stairs just WOW!!
Rebecca, I feel like only you can cut the legs off a vintage piece and make it that fabulous. If I tried to do that I would just ruin nice furniture 😂. Fabulous as always my friend!!
You could do it, and on a dime. : )~
tigergreg8 4real 😂
Hi Katherine! Good to see you here! :)
Hi Katryn!!
Sure! I would never ever think about doing such a thing...
Best Designer EVER!
VALERY USA Damn straight #ariesrules
VALERY USA yes 😍
Yessss!
Thank you for sharing your home ideas! I love how you cut of the legs on the dressers and painted the cabinets a dark chocolate. Would love to do that in my kitchen.
Agreed!
I love the trick to have the baseboard on the blind door. Very clever. I really enjoy your realistic approach above your daughter’s. She is lovely but you are real.
Oh wow! 😍 I am in the process of looking for a home now. However ~ I’ve been so deterred by the interior of the homes I’ve seen that I’ve lost some of my motivation. You just renewed it! Thanks for the boost! ❤️
Amazing!
I seriously thought you lived in a mansion. Thank you so much for this video and for the before pictures. It gives me so much hope that maybe one day my average house can look as pretty as I want it to be.
Xharaly ☺I thought so too☺
I agree... I thought this was a custom home...love seeing an ugly duckling track home being turned into a gorgeous Princess
Xharaly
Xharaly hfd c gu
Xharaly Her personality is so mansion worthy!! She's so down to earth and clever. She fixed it up like a mansion!!
NO WAY this is what it looked like before!? This is a master piece, srsly.
The mirror wardrobe is FANTASTIC! And the staircase of course!
Wow you took an average house and made it fabulous!!
Ashley Barker mrs please help me with my kitchen I’m your first fan you r. The. Best ,do it in my kitchen werevaer you want , is up to you
Wow!! You are probably the most creative designer I've seen yet!! The mirror idea is genius! As so is the staircase door idea and the new staircase. And everything you shared. And cutting off the legs of he vintage dressers! Yes, SUPER CLEVER! Home looks beautiful!!
I love your channel. I am subscribing to your channel right now. Can you subscribe to mine back.. THANKS
It’s NOT CLEVER at all... IT’S GENIUS!!
I love it all! I just painted cabinets black with gold hardware...working on backsplash this weekend...love the staircase that is on the project list! Staying tuned for future home decor tricks and tips...Thank you!
I keep coming back to this video, from time to time, because it truly is sensational what you did to this house. It is a testimony to your designing genius. When you see the before and after pictures, it is almost impossible to fathom that this is the same house. It also underscores that a house does not have to be a mansion to be greatly improved by understanding the elements of good design. For my own life, I have had to scale back some of the ideas for a much smaller home, but the whole idea of how "the wow factor" can make a difference is what this video has brought to life for me. Rebecca, you are truly one of a kind. Keep the great videos coming!
Heck yeah: "Whack off the [old chest of drawers] legs" is brilliant! Now I'm sitting here trying to figure out how to make the 2 highboys on either side of the bed look like built-in. This is REALLY helpful. You're a high-end designer who's "real enough" to make a mansion out of a tract house. "Neiman Marcus on a Walmart budget" - my kinda girl. ;)
I didn't care for the whacked off legs. I would have looked for some tall thin cabinets to fill that space. Maybe they looked better after the room was finished. I do like that she thinks outside the box.
I’m FLOORED by the wall-camouflaged door 😳😍 amazing!
Wow! This is definitely the kind of work that can only be done on a forever house (a house one plans to live in for the rest of their lives) because after awhile, one would never be able to get the amount spent on improvements back on resale. So you've got to be SUPER sure about a home enough to stay in it (and have enough insurance to include the value of these improvements just in case ) before ever being committing to a project like this! I definitely salute you Rebecca (sp??)!!!!
Okay before you mentioned that was mirror, I totally thought it was another room
Um, me too.
Same
Same!
Yes, me too
Same!
Your home is beautiful and your creativity and conquer-any-challenge attitude are an inspiration. Just the one I needed, as a matter-of-fact, as I'm in the middle of remodeling my kitchen. THANK YOU! I can't wait to see the video on storing jewelry! That being said, with this being my 5th year in remission from breast cancer, a public comment in October would not be complete without saying to my sisters, "Ladies, be sure to guard the rack that protects your chest!" Remember how valuable the heart that lies beneath is and help keep it beating for many years to come by performing routine breast exams. And, gentleman, remember: Men can get breast cancer, too. If you find something that appears odd, have it checked!

Thank you for the nice compliments. I love hearing from my viewers, especially when you are finding things that inspire you in your own home decor adventure. Congratulations on 5 years of remission. That’s wonderful and your advice for staying on top of routine mammogram’s is noted. Too Busy, is not an excuse any of us can afford! Now for you my friend, if you are indeed in the middle of a home or kitchen remodel, the best advice I can give you is to take your skills to the next level and join The Design Sessions. Not here on YT but on my website, Robesondesign(dot)com. Check them out. It’s exactly what you need right now! Hugs, RR
@@rebeccarobeson1 Thanks! You're awesome. I'm going to check it out!
Cutting back legs - very smart! And love ❤️ the taped legs under the buffet. Plus the fire place brown mantel- brilliant!
wow over 7 Million views! But that's what it deserves AT LEAST! One can learn a lot here, it just brings so much value!
I live in San Diego and this is the best transformation of a tract home I have seen. I love the investment in the stairs while being patient with the kitchen counter.
I stopped at 2:20 because I could already tell that I loooovvvved this video! One thumbs up!!!

My dear Rebecca, you definitely know what you're doing. Gorgeous and inspiring. I LOVE how you openly share how you work around the features that your budge doesn't allow you to change. And they're all great solutions. I love watching your videos!💕💕
I had the same kitchen! After removing the bulkhead, I had the same problem so where you have a shutter, we mounted a lit cabinet with glass doors. Love the changes you made.

MH Tammi Big shoutout to cyberdesecurity on Instagram they are the G.O.A.T
Love all your ideas. Can’t believe this is the same house! Beautiful and functional!
Why don't you have your own show on HGTV??? You're awesome!
@Brandon Knight. She doesn't want one. Check her videos on her channel, she has an 7 minute video called "Why I don't want my ownn TV show" or something like that.
Only evil people that are willing to sell their souls and ideas are on TV. The best thing you can do is share her videos with others and help her TH-cam channel grow. She stays the boss of her ideas and editing. Most importantly, she gets to keep her soul!!
Agreed!

Thank you, thank you...I just purchased a home where the kitchen is small and has a jut out for the stairs going downstairs (door one) , with a door to the dining room on one side (door 2) and a door to the front room on the other side (door 3)-3 doors in a small kitchen. Your idea of the hidden door is exactly what I needed and would never have come up with that. WOW. Like the linen cabinet idea also.
The transformation of the entryway and the staircase is amazing ! The stairway is so beautiful, the beautiful metalwork and the dark wood are awesome ❤
I just love your personality and the way that you talk to people. You make it feel like it's all possible. Reminders that things take time, go a long way. It would be nice if we always had a couple thousand bucks to throw at the many eyesores of an early 90's home. But sometimes, it takes 15 years to make beautiful things. Thanks for your down to earth encouragement and your years of skill and knowledge. 😘
LOOOOOOOVE your linen closet! Best feature in this video.
I just re-watched this video and, once again, was inspired to tears. How lovely! How creative! You are so inspiring, and with most of my kiddos starting their own homes now, I actually can't wait to see what I can do to make my home lovely and not just functional. The practical side of homeschooling all these years has taken its toll on the "loveliness factor". I ESPECIALLY love your linen closet and glass doors upstairs. I am trying to figure out how I can approximate that on my single income shoestring budget. So thank you, thank you, thank you for giving me pause to (re-re-re-)consider how I might make my home a lovely haven (and not just a school...) Blessings to you! :) :) :)
Rebecca is a clever ,genius and creative decorator! Love everything!!
Sooo creative! I love how you don’t tear everything down ( much better for the environment) and you don’t obsess over perfection. Refreshing!!
To die for! That staircase is gorgeous! The idea to cut off the back legs, brilliant.
I live in the UK in a council house, this before and after has given a real insight! and hope to people like myself! Thank You so much Robeson, you always have that perfect taste in design that makes anyone want to design
Every clever hack was ingenious. I think the big impact changes were just as important as the small ones. My favorite bigs were the staircase and master wardrobe system. The smalls were the linen closet and entry. Well done, I learned a lot!
Just love a good before and after...the staircase is magnificent!
curving the bottom part of your staircase was genius! i think you should consider painting the tiles of your hearth a dark charcoal colour.
Honestly Rebecca, I have watched many of your videos. I have never seen one of your designs that I didn't love. 😍😊👍🏾You taste is absolutely impeccable ! Your designs are so off the chart amazing, yet simple , elegant and sophisticated . 💛😊! The Mirrored IKEA Closet and staircase were my favorite!😍
Amazing transformation! So many practical types, crown moulding, use of mirrors, etc. Thanks for sharing your lovely home!
I love the mirror and the peek-a-boo window in the entry!
you make your job look easy
@YoYo... LOL ;-) RR
Thank you for sharing your fabulous designs. Not only are your homes - including your personal home - beautiful, but they are practical!!!
Wow! So creative and talented! Definitely have ideas now for the “visually challenging” areas of our small home. Thank you so much!
My favorite by far was that staircase. I know it was pricey, but it's so beautiful. Job well done.
Aloha MD b
Yes, staircase is Stunning iron work and dark steps were great idea!!! A fabulous entry!
I loved it!!! My favorite was the stairs!!!! The espresso! The swoop
Into the room!!! The wrought iron!!! 😍😍😍
My favorite was the mirror or the staircase. You are wonderful with your gift.
You have won me over with your ability to make good design accessible to a lot more people. The biggest expense had to be the staircase and some of the construction but someone could ideally make changes room by room over the space of a year. Bravo!
