Makeovers do not have to be insane even though the after may look it! Swapping out a couple of things, adding a few statements pieces and maybe repurposing old decor can do a lot. This one was a fun one because I didn't have to buy too much and just had to tweak it in a new way after feeling more confident with styling. LOVE YOU GUYS and I'll see you on the next one!

Love this blue color. And you don’t need to apologize at all for tearing up over something so emotional. Kobe was a huge part of a lot of people’s lives so we all know the feeling. I would recommend framing the letter though, just to protect it from things like discoloring from the sun or deteriorating from the moisture in the air!

I figured I would let you know that I saw this in case maybe you weren't sure where you stored it, and I don't even know if you'd want to incorporate it... but yeah I'll stop rambling lol.. what caught my eye was what looked like a painting of Kobe in his jersey. I went back to get the timestamp in case you wanted to go back on the garage video and see but it's around 3:03. :)

This is super awesome & perfect timing. I'm going to be surprising my fella with a "dream" office soon. I use the quotations because it's only half an office since it's also our laundry room on the other side ha! I'd love someday to see a video where you create an office space for a couple, with very different tastes. I'd just be curious how you would mix two styles in an office space to compliment each other, since you usually are dealing with one persons taste in that space. I only ask because 1. it would just be fun to see how you tackle that and 2. once we have some mini humans around, I'll be losing my office space and will need to combine with him (and the laundry room). We have VERY different styles haha (me being similar to you actually, and he who decorates with elements of a 13 year old boy & Bruins memorabilia haha). His computer is more for gaming & I do a lot of DIY projects and work my office job from home sometimes, so you can see how that will be crazy to tackle someday. Maybe you can just fly to MA and help a girl out! hahahhah jk, in my dreams. Anyway, sorry for SUCH a long rant comment but I love your videos and you seriously inspire me to keep being creative and trying new things! So thanks!

I really appreciate that it looks like a guy's room. So many makeovers I've seen looks really feminine, but in a way that doesn't fit the person the room is supposed to be for?? This looks like a room my brothers would actually like! And I've insisted to both of them that having multiple pillows or something doesn't make it too soft a room, but I had no videos that showed a room that ends up looking like a guy's room when it's completed. That sounds bad, but does someone understand what I am explaining really badly? English is my forth language and I'm trying to learn it properly, please help if I have misspelled something!
