Welcome back to Upgrade My Stay, a show where we tackle vacation rental spaces that need a little Sorry Girls love and a whole lot of decor and DIY. Today we are heading up to Mono, Ontario (a town about an hour north of Toronto) to meet Ellen and Joey! Ellen and Joey have owned their Yurt for 15 years and are looking for our help to give it a style boost while adding a more defined kitchen area, more lighting, a cozy seating area, and more!

Thank you SorryGirls for having so many pre-recorded videos for the quarantine
DianaBB yess so truee .. hope there are moreee
Hope that you and yours are all doing well and at peace. Thank you for keeping us entertained and keeping a bit of consistency in our lives during this uneasy time.
Yes m binge watching😍
yesssss
At first I wasn't sure how much of an impact those little changes were going to make overall, but I guess it goes to show that sometimes you don't need to knock down walls or paint to get an amazing impact!
Organizing where things go does help. Definitely proved that.
Yeah I think the position and layout can make the biggest difference of all! I totally know i would be able to think of everything they did but it made such a big improvement
I really liked this. It seemed so much less awkward to see you talk with the hosts for a little bit in the beginning. You have much improved from the first video in this series. Well done, guys!
yeah i agree, thats what i thought too
Agreed!!! 💛
agree, came here to say just this.
yess! either they read our comments or they just learned as they went :)
agree ❤❤
I love that the girls took criticism from the previous eps and concentrated more on the context too - the owners, what they want, design ideas etc. Tbh I think style selected series were better than upgrade my stay but now I have faith this will be just as good 💕
yes! that's one thing I can't fault them for, they take constructive criticism so well and continue to make better content. they don't brandish it as hate. much love to them for that!
This is my favorite video so far. The makeover was great but i loved how fun and genuine your friendship was shown.
the laughs and decoration made this my favorite sorry girls video ever!
This was such a magical episode. I felt like I was there, and had an adventure.
Violet Rain you took the words right out of my mouth
My favorite quote: "It's like axe throwing, but don't let go."
🤣🤣🤣
the music when the wood finally gets chopped is *chef's kiss*
This was beautiful. You outdid yourselves with this makeover and the editing of the video.
This was the best Upgrade my stay yet. I liked that you seemed more natural and like you are in other videos. Also the intro with what they wanted was a great add. You did a great job of using their stuff, too, like you do every time. Really really great.
This is the coziest video ever. Not just because the space is extremely cozy, but also the camera work, color- and video editing was so beautiful and calming and you guys drinking tea and ice skating made it feel like we were on a camping trip with you
Okay but who cut the rest of the wood 😂
I love how they are making over the yurt but also just having a nice mini break together with skating and wood chopping. =)
This is my favourite one so far, absolutely amazing!!! Love you guys xx
Literally so good! I love how versatile you guys are, obviously I know your personal styles but you always give people what they want in their own style! Y’all are fantastic!
Their energy is so lovely. Love this one sorry girls. Thanks for not turning it into a glamping thing. Just an authentic yurtle experience!
What I like about this series is, even though it has to be staged for it to work, it doesn't feel over sentimental. You don't "hug" your hosts like long lost friends who then jump and and down like over excited (bad) actors. So many of these types of show normally portrait this and it feels really fake. Your ideas are easy to replicate and function well for each space and home owner. Great job. :)
This episode was so much easier to watch. I’m so happy one of you didn’t act completely surprised about the property in the beginning and had the owners involved in the video. The flow was much improved. Great job! The yurt looked awesome too!
This is literally the best episode ever. The whole vibe is just so cozy and happy. I loved ittt
This is such a wonderful video. Not only do I think your personalities, humor and the fun you have came to shine more than in any other video before, but the DIYs and makeover were so minimal, but you understood their style perfectly and they clearly really loved it. Best video I've seen from you ever!
Hahahhahahaha omg this wood chopping montage is friggin hilarious. City girls vs. country lyfe
Loved this style of video so much - i definitely preferred the voice over explanations to the confessionals and the way you talked through everything. There were a couple of slow points (axe chopping was fun but long) but in general I think you've done an amazing job taking on everyone's feedback on the first 2 episodes. Thank you for listening and creating!
The Upgrade My Stay series keeps getting better and better.
This is by far the best makeover in this series! 👏
This was a beautiful makeover and had a lot of hacks for small spaces. I still think this series would do so great with a confessional at the end from the folks who had their stays upgraded. A place they can talk to the camera or each other about how they felt so that the pressure of interacting with the Sorry Girls is off and we can hear how they feel. Like here, they weren't even able to see the kitchen because they didn't move around, but that was her main request! Thanks for the videos :D
Now this is beautiful. I was there in your Instagram live..and had same questions as many others had but this videos brings back the old sorry girls whom i subscribed many years ago. This really is a beautiful makeover. ♥️🏡
I didn’t have any negative comments for the previous episodes because my thoughts had already been said and you didn’t need any more of that - but you took all those other comments on and this is such a more polished episode! Speaks volumes of you both that you can filter the constructive feedback and use it to your advantage, so proud of your growth it’s amazing to watch xx love to you and your talent
You're so inspiring! The natural colours match with the spirit of the yurt and those small changes combine the cosiness and practicality.
Well done, Sorry Girls! You did a great job with keeping the hosts' style but still pulling it together. And the hosts seem like the loveliest people ever, too! I want to stay there 😍
the best upgrade my stay yet! everything felt so personal and you could really tell how much they appreciated your work
18:44 "The horses had been fed and watered." 😂😉
That and the titanic part made me crack up lol
This channel has come such a long way!! Its so inspiring to see your progress. Everything from the transitions, music, drone shots, and the "big reveal" is so professional and honestly better than many tv shows. Well done!!
I don’t know if I’m crazy. But sometimes I sense an awkward tension between Kelsey and Becky. Like it sort of feels like they aren’t really good friends anymore but they’re civil for the channel
Same!
Morgan MM same here!
I thought so for a while too, but realistically they're probably just getting older and their friendship is naturally changing and evolving. They aren't two college students sharing a dorm anymore, they are two adults that own a business and are in their own homes now. I'd say they're still friends but... More adult
yes!! been thinking that for a while now
Kelsey’s a bit mean sometimes.
Netflix should give you guys a series! The world need this kind of feel good videos and this is perfect! 😘
I love this one!!!! Also Kelsey cutting wood was an absolutely perfect segment
what a sweet and softspoken couple
"a lil bit of AESTHETIC never hurt nobody" ~kelsey 2020
OOF, I felt that in my bones.
this is my fav ep of this series 100000%
This episode was soo good, loved the whole mood, super relaxing 💆♀️
this is my fav from this series so far.
I loved this one. It looks gorgeus and clean, without stuff that no one needs. Love the color pops and how everthing has a purpose.
The difference in awkwardness levels is because usually when they are designing a space for someone, that person is a TH-camr themselves so they are used to being in front of a camera and/or have large personalities. These are normal people who do not know how to act in front of a camera. I felt a similar level of awkwardness when they did the style selected makeovers for Beckys friend and the one for Kelsey’s sister.
Love seeing my culture inspire you guys!!
This has been my favorite so far of this series!!! Such an awesome job ladies
This is definitely the best Upgrade My Stay episode so far! I love how you girls are so resourceful #goals! I also love how you girls took some time off the makeover and enjoyed what the stay has to offer. I think it gives a better insight of what unique about each stay. I felt a little bit sad when the kitchen area wasn't mentioned because I think it looks wonderful. Great job girls!
you have done so well :3 also the whole yurtle home is so cozy & the owners seem genuinely lovely. this is adult camping dream
I love how you guys actually read and take into consideration the comments! This is definitely an improvement :)
Wow!! You two really took all of the comments to heart. This episode felt natural and normal and I enjoyed every moment of it. Great job!!!
wow now I really want to live there
The wood chopping part was slightly cheesy but really cute and funny, i liked it lol
The whole wood chopping scene is literally my mum dissapointed at how bad I am at cutting wood 😂
This is my favorite of the series.
Okkkkk video production and quality of our this world! Awesome job!
This episode was the best one yet! It really feels like you guys listened to audience feedback, and did an amazing job incorporating it. The series went from baby, to teenage growing pains, to awesome glowup in this video - great job, and much love ❤️
Half day at work but so excited to see the extra content!!
As someone who lived in a yurt for several months, this brings me back
ok i replayed the first 10 seconds like 5 times 😂
beckys laugh KILLED ME 😂 omg lol
This is one of the most seamless transformations you've ever done! The changes are almost undetectable upon first glance but made such a big difference. Great job!
You perfect, resourceful, encouraging Canadians, you. Great video, upgrade, and persistence in wood chopping.
LOVE that we got to see what the owners want for the space + a little background! Good job!
I like it a lot! Another idea for the fire wood storage is custom made shelves, like curved ones, so they could match the curve of the wall
This might be my favorite update my stay yet! I think I would have gone to town on the battery operated candles that have the timers in them. But I wouldn't know what to do with a round room!
I wish I lived in Canada, so that I could stay there. It turned out absolutely beautiful and all, but I just really think that they are great hosts as well! :D I loved Ellen's reaction!
I love how you optimized all the space, function and added some style to the yurt.
filmed awhile ago i assume, but already practicing great social distancing already, no handshakes!
Hahaha I legit thought the same!
Favorite episode so much more laid back, it flows better and way less awkward. I also love this series next to style selected.
I think the description box with the starting role, wardrobe, direct etc...
I absolutely love and adore you guys!
This one defiantly flowed better with the interviews and the reveals! Seemed more authentic and less staged. Yurt came out beautiful as always!!
i personally hate camping, but this...this im totally down for. its so cozy and inviting. wish i could try staying in something like that one day
I'm currently binge watching the Sorry Girl's videos bc I'm SUPER bored bc of the quarantine situation and now planning on reorganizing my room:)
(ps I have a yt channel!)
You guys are awesome! I was definitely cheering you on the whole time, especially with Kelsey’s wood chopping. I’m very inspired by how unafraid you guys take on challenges for things you’ve never done. You inspire me to be braver.
Very cool series! I love this episode. I’ve got one question: do you get paid by the owners to do this? Or are you getting the money of TH-cam? Thanks already🥰
This video is so wholesome especially chopping the wood part 💕
Kelsey chopping wood is the best thing I've seen in a while haha
I liked this one a lot. All of them have been fun, but I liked this one best. Well done, guys!
This is a great example of true reaction to a reveal.. no so doing for the camera.. just genuine emotions
That’s a Harry Potter tent! Looks smaller on the outside, but it’s bigger when you go in!
Definitely one of the best transformations I’ve ever seen
This Is the best one so far! Your energy and sync is back !
Wow, just wow
How did I miss this vid? The production is amazing and it looked so cozy and adorable! The wood chopping was HILARIOUS 🤣
Becky always seems annoyed with Kelsey, I don’t remember he being like that last year( haven’t watched since last year)
"so lets move this out of the way and bring the chairs in" like shes always trying to take charge
Yeah I agree she’s kinda rude sometimes. Like she thinks she’s better than her but I actually think Kelsey might have better ideas sometimes.
Like at the beginning Kelsey was reading the reviews and Becky was just like “uh huh. Uh huh.”
Kudos Kelsey for chopping that wood!
Kelsey has just acquired the woodchopping skill and leveled up too! Bravo!
I loved this episode! The last one was kind of awkward but this one seemed super fun to work on and the clients were actually enthusiastic about the space so that really helped.
Ellen did not miss a trick when she walked in. Her comments really supported the changes you made. It is nice to hear specific positive feedback from someone who notices lots of details. Noice!
Love it. It looks amazing. Those colors, those lights, that lay-out! Great job.
Love this video.. Huge improvement from the previous video in this series.. One thing though.. If you're keeping any of the owners items and they're stained then maybe just restore them like the round coffee table had water stains.. That needed to be sanded and restained.. Then maybe add coasters for future use..
Omg the cabin after the makeover looks SO cozy, beautiful and trendy! I would LOVE to stay there!!
I was DYING when Kelsey tried to chop the wood. I feel like that exactly what would happen if I tried 😂
What an incredible makeover! I feel that you adhered to the design brief so well and met the clients' needs - well done!!!! ❤❤🌲🐿
The cutting wood actions shots are *chef's kiss*
OMG LOVE IT 😍😍😍the aesthetic is on point, you guys are so talented!! every time you talk about something conceptually I'm like?? but then you physically make it happen and it's gorgeous like those belted curtains. BUT can we talk about the editing??? *chef's kiss* the music choices are seamless and inform the story so much, the long shots are so smooth and well cut together, and the wood chopping was so funny. the way it ended with the quick chopping/tossing shots capped off the joke bit and revved the pace back up so efficiently. Such quality work 💯💯💯
These upgrades are so tasteful, I love that you’re taking each person’s existing style and just elevating it, guaranteed win every time!
I love the part when Kelsey is trying to chop wood!😂 so cute! love yalls videos! so inspiring!
Favourite episode so far! Well done!
Turt yurtle lol!!! 🐢 loved your use of space and rearranging. Loved it!
As a Mongolian, yurt is our traditional way of living for many years and Im so glad that my fav youtubers do this its like a crossover for me 💕💕💕
This is such a genius series. I love how the yurt turned out 🥰⛺️✨
100% improvement. Now I would stay there as to before I wouldn't have. Great job! This should be in more revenue for them.
I think this is the best one you've done so far! Looks amazing!
