When I turned a bedroom into a library, I ended up turning the closet into a “Restricted Section.” I lined the whole thing with shelves, and now it holds my witchcraft books and any other titles that a random nosy guest (*cough* MOM) would raise their eyebrows at. I also switched the knob to lock with a key, so it’s also where I keep the important documents (like deeds, bonds, passports, wills) and valuable jewelry.
My husband and I just bought an older house from the 70s and went through this as well! We spent several weeks doing floors (cause carpets from 70s no thank you), painted all 2400sq ft of interior of house and painted the kitchen cabinets. I feel your pain but also so much gratification when you see all your hard work come together!! Congrats from a fellow slave to house renovations 😂❤️
It's definitely worth it in the end, but there's a lot of moments of questioning and being on the brink of a break down in the middle 😂😂 the list really never ends
@@WickedScorpio I agree! We rushed to do the paint because we wanted to move in but we have 2 huskies and the walls would have been hairy if we tried to paint when moved in lol! I still have a LONG way to go. We basically just put makeup on the house until we decided to tackle one renovation at a time! But it’s kind of fun being able to work on your own house whenever you have time and make it your own! I will always have a list of stuff to do but don’t forget to enjoy it too! I work from home so my office is combined with my reading room and it was my favorite project I did! Definitely want to change the color to something moodier like that green you used!!
A tip I learnt with baseboards, is to pull tape off when you finish painting before it dries so it doesn’t rip any off, and to pull towards the wall instead of away from it. I need to redo all of mine soon as they’re chipping and becoming discoloured
That was the plan 😅 I pulled it up as soon as I finished the room, but sadly, it took me so long to finish that it was pretty dry by then lol. But i definitely didn't pull in the correct direction, so thank you for that tip!
Yay! I"m so happy and excited for you to be moving into your own place and making your own bookish spot! It was a lot of work, but I bet it is satisfying to look over and see your painted walls and shelves and know that YOU DID THAT! It looks so good! I love those mushroom bookends.
Absolutely in love with this video and seeing your dream library in your new place! My cat loved this too as he was on my lap watching at the same time 😍 I have a similar way of organizing my books as well but I also always have to keep favorites together as well and themes. The final result is so cozy and stunning 😍🦋🦋🦋🦋
I had a fairlyoot subscription for a little over a year so that's how I collected so many! I have since cancelled so I can catch up on reading them. It was growing too fast 😂
Congratulations on your new hommmme! And I would love to see what else you’re doing lol 😅 The library is so gorgeous! And I love the beads on the closet door. It adds texture to the room 🦋🦋🦋
🦋 loved this, the effort you put in paid off so hard this is my fav library transformation. the decor!???!!? amazing. love your videos and taste 🖤 also we have the same slippers
Wow, that looks really fantastic! Very cozy. And the cats seem to have settled into the new place very well, which is a good omen. I think that weird, small empty gold frame from Temu would look good hanging on the wall behind your shelf, next to the mushroom bookend. Just a random suggestion. 🦋
Ahh I love it this is so good you did amazing 🦋🤩 the beaded curtain idea was fantastic 👌 the second you showed the finished room I was stunned 🤩 And I think the stool thing you got is called an ottoman 😇
Thank you so much 🤗 I'm so glad I thought of the beaded curtain, it's just a nice detail and opened up the room a little more. Yes! An ottoman. Thats the word 😂
Could you fit a desk in the closet? It would make a cute mini office. I think that cabinet is really pretty and should be in the room. Congratulations on the new place it's lovely 🦋
That was actually one of my earlier plans, but the cabinet is pretty large and took a lot of space out of the room sadly. I put in a few areas, but it looked super awkward.
0:33 Nothing like a fart to get me hyped for a video!!! I mean I would watch a full reno series.... 6:24 why did I get scared when you leaned on the wall lol After painting sooo many rooms in my house I wish we just hired painters and did it all at once tbh So brave painting w/o tape 😂 Girl I use Temu/Shein all the time haha no shame Looks great!!!!
The fart sets the tone 😂 Hahaha did it scare you bc I was suddenly in a different spot or you thought I was gonna fall? Every time I started painting again, I questioned why we didn't hire Painters 😅
Thank you!!! They adjusted well! The baby took the longest but she's comfortable now. We did have a little issue with the oldest going to the bathroom in one of the carpeted rooms instead of the litter boxes 😬 we blocked off that room for now and hoping the habit breaks. It's the back living room so there's not a door. We put up a tarp in the mean time since we still need to painted and fix that room up but it can't stay up forever 😂 She's been doing good so far! Thank you for asking ☺️💕
I have painted my house soooooo many times. I don't tape off anymore. It's soooo time consuming. The thing with taping is you have to pull it off as soon as you paint especially if you use latex paint other wise it will pull off. I hate tape 😂
🦋 idk how I ended up here but I’m not disappointed haha. Wonder if my daughter was on my TH-cam. She’s more of a reader than me. This space turned out sooooo cute!!!

Ayyy, another witch!
I love that, that is such a good idea!
Ayyy, another fellow witch! 🤍
Omg yes
Came here for the decorating! I'm sure lots of people would love a den makeover video! Or really any and home improvement content (:
Are you JOKING? This room and those shelves are insanely beautiful, omg😭
Thank you so much 🥹🫶🏻💕

Your "angel" is the Greek goddess Nike, goddess of Victory. Put her by your Greek books!
Of course I would be interested in moving/cleaning/decluttering and DECORATING❤ Is what I watch the most

You're so right. It feels so good once you can sit back and appreciate the difference. Thank you so much!
Obsessed with the green wall with the dark brown bookshelf contrast! 😍
Right!? Exactly how I envisioned it 😍 I almost want more of the green now though. I just love a deep forest green 🤌🏻
please share more rooms! love these videos
🦋🦋🦋 The angel statue is the Winged Victory of Samothrace, it sits in the Louvre. It's my favorite sculpture of all time, I have a tattoo of it ❤
Excuse me while I deep dive into the history of the sculpture, it's truly stunning 😍

@@WickedScorpio he purred in response haha 💕
That would look soooo good! Can't wait to see what you add
52:00 lol that's the famous "Winged Victory of Samothrace" statue. It's on display in the Louvre.

Thank you so much! 🥹🫶🏻💕 I live in my slippers 😂
I have that same crystal shelf….it’s very shallow but it holds a lot of
Wow, that looks really fantastic! Very cozy. And the cats seem to have settled into the new place very well, which is a good omen.
I think that weird, small empty gold frame from Temu would look good hanging on the wall behind your shelf, next to the mushroom bookend. Just a random suggestion. 🦋
Thank you so much! Yeah the cats are way more comfortable now and living their best lives.
Omg that is such a good idea for the small frame!
❤love your library
Thank you!
💌
the shelves look great! you did an awesome job!
Thank you!! ☺️
Ahh I love it this is so good you did amazing 🦋🤩 the beaded curtain idea was fantastic 👌 the second you showed the finished room I was stunned 🤩
And I think the stool thing you got is called an ottoman 😇
Thank you so much 🤗 I'm so glad I thought of the beaded curtain, it's just a nice detail and opened up the room a little more.
Yes! An ottoman. Thats the word 😂
I love your library room, homey. ❤🦋
Thank you! ☺️💕
🦋 Congratulations
Thank you so much! ☺️☺️
Could you fit a desk in the closet? It would make a cute mini office. I think that cabinet is really pretty and should be in the room. Congratulations on the new place it's lovely 🦋
That was actually one of my earlier plans, but the cabinet is pretty large and took a lot of space out of the room sadly. I put in a few areas, but it looked super awkward.
Beautiful! I believe the winged statuette is meant to be a copy of the Nike of Samothrace.
It is stunning!
Great library room 📚🧋🦇💀👻
Congratulations! What a huge achievement :) (the scorpion knee banger is also very cool)
Thank you so much! ☺️
This looked like such a grueling project but so worth it!
🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
I think that is a great space for a library.
Thank you!
Oooh paint the inside of the closet the same green.
I was thinking that!
🦋
🦋ahh so pretty!
Thank you!!

0:33 Nothing like a fart to get me hyped for a video!!!
I mean I would watch a full reno series....
6:24 why did I get scared when you leaned on the wall lol
After painting sooo many rooms in my house I wish we just hired painters and did it all at once tbh
So brave painting w/o tape 😂
Girl I use Temu/Shein all the time haha no shame
Looks great!!!!
The fart sets the tone 😂
Hahaha did it scare you bc I was suddenly in a different spot or you thought I was gonna fall?
Every time I started painting again, I questioned why we didn't hire Painters 😅
@@WickedScorpio My brain just told me it was wet paint haha

Your library is so beautiful. Congratulations on being a homeowner. How are your cats adjusting? Do they have their own room? 🦋
Thank you!!!
They adjusted well! The baby took the longest but she's comfortable now. We did have a little issue with the oldest going to the bathroom in one of the carpeted rooms instead of the litter boxes 😬 we blocked off that room for now and hoping the habit breaks.

Thank you for asking ☺️💕
I love your gentle snake vibes
thank you so much! 🐍🖤
For your silver fixings use a black nail polish
@marymcloughlin6052 Yeah, my husband begged me to do that bc it bothers him so much 😂 but honestly, I don't even notice with all the books up
🦋🖤
❤🦋🍄🐈⬛
🦋💐
I have painted my house soooooo many times. I don't tape off anymore. It's soooo time consuming. The thing with taping is you have to pull it off as soon as you paint especially if you use latex paint other wise it will pull off. I hate tape 😂
I also gave in to temu a few weeks ago bc I got a crap ton of points for fetch rewards. I got a bunch of book journal stuff and it was decent !
Yeah I only do the tape for the floors or an accent wall but I'm so over it 😅
@@WickedScorpio the prepping is literally the worst ..if it weren't for being excited to see the finished product ...ugh
🧚🏿♀️🍄
Holy shit I am so impressed!
Thank you!!! So much more work than I expected 😮💨
🦋 idk how I ended up here but I’m not disappointed haha. Wonder if my daughter was on my TH-cam. She’s more of a reader than me. This space turned out sooooo cute!!!
Hahah well happy you stumbled here! Thank you so much
I hate painting so much 😂😂😂 trim is the absolute worst - you did so well though lol. 😂
I lost my mind a few times 😅😅 one room wouldn't have been bad, but painting nearly a whole house at once is borderline torture
Can you link the lights for me? The ones that line your shelves!
Absolutely! I added the link to the description box 🖤
🖤💚😘💯🖤💚🍄✨️🦋
Where did you get yourchair and ottoman I need one
Amazon! It is one that folds into itself to be a chair or lounger
