    Hi,my name is Bonnie Smith. We live in Lubbock, Texas and I have the same problem with getting distracted. I have to keep telling myself- ”stay on this, do not get yourself distracted”. If I don’t I find myself suddenly off doing something completely different. I absolutely love this paint color. It is beautiful in your room and I love what you’re doing on your channel! I just retired and I’m looking forward to finally having the time to do these types of projects, something I’ve always loved to do.

    Love how the dining table turned out! Really nice. Just a thought on the mirror: wiping a bit or some of the white paint off the raised edges, while it was still wet, would have aged it. Or, sanding off the paint from the raised edges would achieve the same effect. It would have added depth to the frame.

    Cutting in is my favorite part of painting(and I have ADHD) My husband works at a local country club as a maintenance manager, and every year, at the end of Dec, beginning of January, he hires me to do all of the painting. Painting to me is soooo relaxing. I get in a zone, and before I know it, I am finished. Your room turned out beautifully, and I LOVE that color of green. I was thinking, man, I hope she paints some furniture with that color. As always.....great job!!

    Thank you Karen. Over the years of doing home decor and furniture flips I have come to have the same chuckle. I like trying new fads just for fun but I think it's a bit comical how quickly everything changes. I no longer feel the need to be keeping up with the Joneses and my style has rested into the "traditional" category

    @@DesertDIY I am the same, Corey. Suppose my personal style---in our current home at least, as it is a rental and has many 'fixed elements', such as distressed red brick floors in two rooms and the entire back wall of our living room distressed red brick fireplace---veers towards the traditional or at least 'transitional', style. Have found that incorporating Nature in little ways (nick knacks, artwork, etc., all thrifted of course!) somehow elevates both the space and my overall mindset, and easily adapts to the change of seasons.

    Hi Corey… like you, my favorite color is blue, but my second favorite is green. I consider green a “neutral” bc all colors go with it…(think flower garden). Ten years ago I chose a sage green for my living room and blue for the adjoining dining room and have yet to grow tired of either. One thing I did was to paint the back wall of the built-in bookcase in my living room the same as the wall. It would make your blue and white and chinoiserie pieces really pop. Great job on the whole room!

    Delighted to see you cut in with your brush rather than taping. The tape is just one more thing that adds to the landfill. I too do the trim before rolling but I do one wall at a time. Mostly because I hate moving my ladder so often. Also that window has such a lovely view.

    Hi Corey loooong time sub here…I’ve been a fan of yours for many years❤️. You really taught me how to flip furniture and I’ve been doing it and also following your journey for years…I followed your move and your pregnancy and your sweet spirit always has touched me. One thing that has stuck with me is your heart to do things for others, donating to kids aging out of the foster case system. My husband and I loved your idea. I thank you for all your inspiration that you so willingly share with all of us. ❤️ I LOVE the makeover! Green is my favorite color and I particularly love the calm green that you chose. I too have an ADHD mind and I’m proud of you for doing all the cutting in before rolling lol. I would’ve likely jumped to the walls after half the room 😅 I’ve been painting for years prior to furniture flipping and love how a whole room changes with just paint. I love it all, the beautiful table, the curtains, your grandmom’s chairs…beautiful room! God bless you and your family Corey, from NC❤️

Now the master bedroom is next. I have found the photographic wallpapers to be amazing. They are more difficult to install, they are made thinner. The end results are incredibly beautiful. Finding the RIGHT match for style and color has taken hours and hours, but that's too part of the fun .❤

    A very nice transformation . I am a green person, so the wall paint choice was a perfect lol. But the best make over was the dinning room table. The gel stain did just what you had hoped it would do, made it looked aged in a very natural way. I will definitely try that on my next furniture make over. Kudos to you for a job well done.

    I’m loving this transformation! My name is Kanchan! I’m a DIY designer and doctor! I hate to spend the amounts of money that you need to make your house look like a home! So I or my DIY husband have furnished and decorated our house and our office spaces. He’s my gift from God, My husband who not only raised our three kids and now is my office manager, but he also rebuilt our screened porch down to the concrete pad and then built it so great that my best friend could not believe that it was not the original though he completely replaced it! I love that green, it’s soft but not looking like a typical pastel. It’s not too saturated, I guess. Also the gray in it is perfect to tone it down while not losing the green-ness. And you’re absolutely right about it allowing all the blues to shine!

We just ordered wood remote slatted blinds but wanted shutters they did not have an installer for shutters in our entire state. Was so disappointed but will be happy ithe the beautiful wood blinds Levolor. The window treatment is another beauty with the print of sage and the blue I believe solid. God Bless

    Hi Corey, first time seeing your channel. I too love blue , but the green you chose is really soothing, and allows the other elements in the room take center stage! I've been a thrifter since I was a young teenager. I still have many of the pieces through my decades of moves and life changes. I smiled when you said you love chartreuse, it's one of my favorites as well! In fact my kitchen is painted in chartreuse! I have started collecting copper pots and molds which look amazing against that green. You are a pro with cutting in!! It was fun to watch you paint your dining room and pull your items together! Very inspiring! I look forward to see your other videos! Sheryl from Central California

    The room definitely looks much better! I would suggest lowering the chandelier and centering it over the table if at all possible. By lowering the lovely crystal chandelier it would bring it more into focus and closer to eye level, making it more of a feature point, adding that touch of sparkle, glamour, and romance, to the warmth and coziness that you always find in French country design. You may even want to try the old French trick of adding a few, or all, pink or rose colored candelabra bulbs, (if you can find them), its an old French trick for creating flattering and romantic lighting that everyone looks good in. The addition of the wood blinds, though costly, definitely adds to the country charm of the room. And I am sure you will have lots of fun adding all of the little design touches and décor that go into creating the quintessential rustic and romantic charm found in French country design.
