Don't know what happened with the sound at the beginning. I double checked and it was fine on my end but when it uploaded to youtube it somehow messed it up! Hope it wasn't too confusing!!

Instead of filling the holes on her headboard she should look for some cute drawer knobs, then she can hang things off them. The room looks great!

Officially Tate.....I did Thank God for my mom......she's been in Heaven since 2006. I am sure that my Dad and she are so happy together. They both died of cancer 12 yrs apart. While I miss them terribly, they are in no more pain. My DH died in 2002....and I am sure they are all having a great time going to garage sales, camping and wondering why no one ever clips many coupons any more!!! I Had the BEST PARENTS on the planet! :)
This mother has the sweetest heart. She is so special! I love what she did! Very creative. Her daughter is very blessed.

I honestly don't understand why it's so difficult for family members and friends to take good care of and love each other as we all want and need. Your bedroom project means so much more than just a little makeover. Lots of love and necessary personal attention to your daughters happiness is the most important message that I'm sure she appreciates. Your teachings others to give and remind one another they are indeed special & reassured they are welcomed and wanted. Your daughter feels that she always has a home and her special space with her family to come back hone to. SOOOO IMPORTANT, trust me!!
What a pretty and dreamy space! The hanging lights are so romantic. What a teen girl's dream--- not just the bedroom, but a boyfriend who works at Bath and Body Works. 🤗

Yeah... Large mirrors placed correctly makes your place look alot larger and placing a lamp in mirror area creates alot of light without adding more light and cost. Also TV view bounces off that makes you seem to have another TV where you need it....lol. I love mirrors!
So sweet; great job. I love how realistic and doable this is for almost every budget. So many YT makeovers are for people with big bucks but viewing one done with imagination, hard work and love is priceless!

That is pure love just ooozing in this makeover. What a lovely family.
I am 20 and I've been remodeling my mom's basement since I was 15. It went from unfinished to fully finished having a living room, two bedrooms, full bath, and a separate laundry room id like to add a mini kitchen to. Love seeing people transform spaces like this.
Aww she’s so blessed to have you. I don’t have a relationship with my mom so I would have loved something like this. This made me cry seeing her reaction. You are awesome.

And to do it all on a budget of $75.00 is a blessing. Thumbs up for this DIY project. Loving this video. 👍😀😀💜💛💜💐💐💐

The makeover absolutely extraordinary! Cleaning up the room priceless. I really hopes she appreciates all the beautiful work and keeps it clean❤
That turned out so pretty! That was a lot of work in a short time (and for only $75!). Great job, and thanks for the video.
I personally would have painted the headboard black and maybe bought a few cute little gold nic-nacs for the room. Maybe get some marble contact paper for the top of the coffee table and dresser. But other than that, I think it's very cute (and for a great price!).
What a huge transformation!! You did a fantastic job on this bedroom. I really like the string of lights too. :-)

I am so sorry... I would never do that to my daughters...but my older daughter got pregnant when she was ready to graduate a 4 year University. She got pregnant with a guy we never met. We told her from the beginning don't have sex till you marry (we are Christians). She could have lived with us till she got old and gray... Her option was marry him or move out to an apartment. We didn't want her to think she can live with us and keep popping out babies for us to take care of. So she got married. My other daughter is graduating in another 1 1/2 years. She wants to move out on her own after she gets a job. 😭. Some kids want their independence. I feel for you. Try to get an education ASAP, a skill so you can defend yourself financially. Pray to God to find the right job skills, education...
