I actually really love this transformation; the colors are so much warmer and inviting; the coffee table is way more functionable and I love that you can overlap them. There is more storage space so it is more functional. He was very thoughtful with the fabric of the chairs and I think that will be for the best. Overall, the material and color choices were for the best. The slightly fluffy chair in the chisme room also adds to the cozy feel, although they might be hard to wash. He was definitely correct about the TV needing to be made smaller, even if it hurt me a little to see it shrink :O . Hopefully they just moved the other TV to another room. I'm also glad that he changed the color of the rocks/crystals in the fireplace; I don't know if I would've ever thought to do that.

@@ValentinaMitchell1 Not much needs to change for it to look good. There is no reason to spend hundreds or thousands tearing down walls, redoing floor plans, ripping up the floor, etc... especially when a space could look a lot more cozy and nice with just a few layout changes, color changes. Honestly, just the changing of the couches and their direction along with the new coffee tables would've have pleased me, already makes the space more open to the outdoors and the wooden coffee tables definitely felt more like "outdoors inside" that the glass table. It isn't a "bunch of bs" you just had expectations different from the actual goal of the renovation. The room is still modern, just a bit warmer.

I think he partially understood the assignment

the chairs in the chisme room literally made me gasp. I am in love!! it’s such a warm and cozy space now. a VIBE!!!

The TV isn’t just too small, it’s also too high! TVs should be at eye level in the center when the viewer is seated. They could have put the television to one side or the other, or lowered it significantly since they were redoing the fireplace anyway.

The TV doesn’t even fit well into the wall. Loathe the uneven gaps between the frame and the wall. But do like how the place looks warmer.

Smaller tv 😱 it’s a nono 😩 sectional needs to come back, but flipped to the opposite side❣️

I don’t mind the natural edges around the tv, however the size of the tv is too small. Even if you’re not a tech person, it doesn’t flow with the big black fireplace underneath it. I love black features in a home, but I think they should have painted out the black on the fireplace to match the plaster, or something similar. It would have made the new tv look less small and more of an “art” piece.

I agree about the size, it could be a bit bigger, but about that black for the fireplace I think it's good, because the place need some contrast. If everything would be cream, beige and brown it would look bland. The black ads some nice contrast, but still fit that natural colour scheme. You must understand that there is some black framing of the windows and doors, the lights are also dark, so nope the fireplace does not stick out... it flows nicely.

Stunning transformation! I love the thought behind every room. Desi’s home is a dream, and she’s one of my favourite creators ❤️

Personally love the chisme room update. As for the living room I would’ve kept the tv size and the sectional couch, maybe just switched it to face the backyard door instead. The new couches don’t give off the “family” room vibe, not comfy enough. And the tv looks way too small for the wall. I would’ve honestly just reduced the size of the fire place instead of all that black surrounding it.. but I do love the the updates to everything else. Just for me, personally, as a “family” room the previous couch & tv gave off a more inviting feeling than the new. 🤷🏽‍♀️

he did great with the space, but the gaps between the tv frame and the stone wall really irk me. makes it look sloppy imo

This is my dream home. My goodness. Love her aesthetically pleasing and signature neutral style.

The way he ends every sentence as a question is driving me INSANE lol

I love how small the tv is & that it isn’t the focal point anymore! The warmth he brought in is soooo dreamy, cozy and much needed

It's lovely but I can't imagine a world where someone would personalize my book collection for me

I love how he warmed up the space, from watching desi for years this space definitely reflects her asethetic well.

100 percent agree

It is warmer but NOT better. The old couch was better IMO. I know he said you didn’t have access to the backyard but why couldn’t it be flipped? He could have slipped cover it like he did the new ones? The stone wall adds texture but using a smaller tv but keeping the black surround on the bottom just made the tv look dinky and the fireplace out of proportion. I would have liked to see maybe an oversized mantle that was overextended to help balance the old tv’s size. I also felt like the gossip room was boring and missing a soul. The white chairs with that too small tequila table just looked unfinished and sparse. But with budget and time I’m sure something may have not been possible. As long as she and her family love it, great! Sidenote the pic of the primary spaces was way more impressive than these two IMO.

Love love love Desi. Beautiful remodel… love the picturesque aesthetic and openness to the backyard. I would probably put the old tv back lol

I kinda really liked the before better in the living room. I would have only moved the sofa to face the door. It was already beautiful.

Love that he made the outdoor more visible, but agree with everyone on the TV…way too small and the recessed frame is really odd. I also think the stone wall would have looked better as gray concrete, and don’t like the color of the slipcover at all. I usually love Eric’s work, for example what he did in Karen’s (iluvsarahii on KZread) house, but honestly I liked a lot of the “before” better on this one.

I know a lot of people are saying the tv is too small but I disagree, to me the tv is set up to be more of a decorative piece versus the focal point of the space, I honestly see the view as the focal point IMO

Using a rusty metal around the fireplace & a larger TV with a bronze mirror finish instead of black would have really elevated that space, but I love what they did within budget. That second area……. It’s a no from me. It looks like a before rather than an after. It’s missing warmth and personality. But totally aware they worked within a budget.

I agree it feels less like a family room now. The stone edges are a distraction to what's on the screen and even more so because the screen is small now.
