Not Ethan with the sketchiest wood working station 😅love the makeover, it really separates the office from the living room nicely and makes everything look cohesive!

The balcony turned out great! What a handy bench and the piece of wood on the air conditioner looks good. I think there are rug pads you can get that you put under the rug to stop it moving around. Have to mention when Ethan turned the stud finder on himself and found a stud was very funny!

Your guys’ DIY skills are so relatable - I was dying laughing but thinking SAME simultaneously 😂 also the couch turned that way separates the open living space nicely ✨ love the color scheme you settled on - can’t go wrong with light blues, pinks, and orange!

Looks so much better! Can I recommend you guys actually move the couch a bit further back to give you more space? And then move the rug underneath the couch. Might help to keep the rug flat, for one, but just looks tidier and more intentional. The record corner is so cute!

Esme is so cute. I hope she settles in. The apartment looks really good. I would suggest securing the table to the railing though so it doesnt have any chance to blow back into the glass (i am not sure how protected your balcony is)

The rug thing.. do you have one of those non-slip rug mats underneath? I couldn’t afford both, so I bought one of the kitchen non slip and cut it in pieces and put in the corners of the rug and works the same. Have you thought about a wall mounted adjustable arm for your tv, you could put it in the corner and then push it flush against the wall when not using it. That way you’re not blocking the sun when not watching tv.

I don't know if it would have been your vibe but I would have tried to push the couch against your kitchen counter and use that as the "table behind your couch" thingy, and move your desk area maybe closer to the window? It would make for a bigger living room I think, but you wouldn't have that view on the outside probably.
@scrivspo
5 ай бұрын
We did think about that but there’s so much food/water spillages in our kitchen the couch would get ruined really quickly hahaha
Firstly, Esme is adorable. Secondly, I think it could look cool if you had a couple more booze related prints in some different sizes around the Aperol print. Thirdly, I agree with another commenter that pushing the lounge back a bit and puttng the rug partially under it would be a good option. Edit: I forgot to mention that the mirrors are so bloody cute. Love me an ornate antique mirror.

On your Diy bar table outside, I would glue a piece off wood that sits behind the hand rail to ensure that the table doesn’t fall back. It’d be awful if that fell and made the chairs fall into glass doors 😬 P.s- Your place looked beautiful after😍 ❤ New subscriber!x
