Looks great! You can get a plastic strip that holds cords snug to the wall and hides them. You could get it in black and hide those cords right next to the rails for the shelves. It's got an adhesive side, so it's ver easy to install.

i'm actually kind of annoyed she left the cords out like that lol
This might sound dramatic, but I mean it: the amount of joy that each of these videos strikes in me is uncanny. I know it's soooo much work not only to renovate, but to beautifully and cohesively *document* the renovations. I seriously appreciate that you do it and that you're sharing this journey with us ☺ Also, I don't think I've ever been so invested in paint colors and I woke up my partner with an enormous fist-pump "YES!!!" when you said you settled on the blue lol--absolutely gorgeous 😍

Going absolutely bonkers over the idea of a tiny framed artwork in a closet. Incredible!
I'm so glad you went with the navy blue for the walls, Ariel. It ties in so nicely with the wallpaper. The timber shelves match the flooring so everything looks cohesive and I love how when the lights are off, you hardly notice the room at all :-)
One thing that just really fills me with joy is how much art you put on the walls absolutely everywhere! It's really made me think about how I approach decorating all my spaces and reminds me that there really aren't rules when it comes to how you decorate. I know I personally get real caught up in "well this is how my parents would decorate" and sometimes I forget to think about how I WANT to decorate. All your home decor videos have been very inspiring and very calming to watch!
I'm so pumped you went with the blue. I think the yellow would've made things look too busy with so many different colors and patterns. The blue really ties into the wallpaper but it's still dramatic and lovely. I really love this entire little nook you've got it looks so beautiful, stylish, intentional and polished. You're doing such awesome things with your home!!
I still cannot get over how stunning and elegant the hallway is 😍
Congrats on getting the video done before your trip! Safe travels!!

My first thought when you showed the two paint colors was "definitely blue, it will make everything inside of it look like glittering jewelry inside a dark velvety jewelry box" and LO! It did! So beautiful.
Oh these two empty shelves scream for pretty storage boxes with the overflow birdie and flower wallpaper stuck on. The dark blue was the perfect choice and makes me want to paint something in this tone, now too. Oh and by the way, I love your calm camera style, with the long steady shots, very soothing. (And good after getting motion sickness from shaky handcam vids >

Ariel... your taste is the polar opposite of mine but I love watching how you pull a space together, because it always looks like something a fictional character would do. Your house is decorating Narnia to me... So you really cracked me up when you said the original colour of the closet was 'strange'. 🤣🤣

Love the sneak peak of how all the upstairs rooms are getting hardwood floors! Can’t wait for the whole upstairs to be completed and beautiful. BRAVO TO YOUR ARTISTRY!
I would have picked the Blue too
Ariel, I love your enthusiasm and I can feel your joy when your vision comes together. What a beautiful closet you designed. You should be so proud of all your renovating projects.
Has anybody told you how brilliant you are lately. Well you are and what a joy to search and find you when you're going to present a new project.
The new color on the walls is wonderful. The wooden flooring is the best! I am surprised you left the electric cords dangling, they could be hidden along the back of the shelves… they really stand out.
Looks so amazing! Have you ever used cord covers? They snap around your cord, stick to the wall, and are paintable! Would finish off your cute lights really well.
I do like watching you finish floors and paint walls and hang shelves. It’s relaxing. 😊 Thank you for another video.
It’s 11pm and I’m too nervous to go to sleep because I’m starting a new job tomorrow so this video couldn’t have come out at a better time to give me some comfort 🥺❤️

Good luck on your first day! You got this!
You might consider applying that beautiful bird wallpaper to the slanted wall. You did a lovely job transforming the closet.
The yellow would have been a solid choice, but the blue just brings works so well with the trim and the wallpaper. Delightful all around.
I LOVE how much Ariel loves things lol. Paint colors! Food from a paid partnership! Books, obviously! A dirty old house in need of TLC! Nothing is off the table for her genuine appreciation and abundant celebration.
Boy I LOVE those blue walls, they are just simply stunning. Congrats on another room down. :)
Amazing! If you swapped the plastic baskets with woven ones and hid the cords with wall wire holders (that can be painted to match the wall color) it would be even more *chef's kiss*!
okay kinda crazy but maybe cute idea? gallery wall on the slanted ceiling... just a thought. glad you chose the blue, were on the same wavelength the whole time - I love your house!
You get high fives for filming in tiny tiny corners! Blue came out so goooood! Missed you, glad your well.
I LOVE your home improvements videos. Not only are you creative but your house is starting to look like a jewel box! Your color palette is so tasteful. Bathroom makeover! Yes!!
Your satisfaction on what you have accomplished in that house has to be over the top! Love your house and every choice you have made. It's beautiful and I feel at home when I watch you videos....so cozy!
Art should go anywhere that makes you smile
The floors and wall color look so beautiful. And seeing the different angle and light hitting that pink color 🤌. I really wanted to see the yellow trim, but that pink looks so amazing in the different light and now with that closet blue it’s just beautiful. I love your decorating style. I can’t stand the beige and grey boring houses we see all over KZread. You are a breath of fresh air. 😊
I'm a year late but if you see this, a suggestion, put down a rug for your kitty for the litter that inevitably gets tracked out. We just use small bathroom rugs for our kitty spaces (yes, they have a rug to eat their dinner on and a rug in front of the box). But in your case what would be cool to use is an oil cloth rug. It could be easily wiped down. Might be a fun video and you can use all the wall paper colors. If you are super crafty I suppose you could latch hook a rug, but that would be a chore.
I absolutely love the "bird" walkthrough. The colours are absolutely amazing. Your entire style is enchanting. I am in love with your house and your sense of style. I am so looking forward to seeing it all done.❤
Add shelves to the closet. A happy thought indeed.... ❤️😂
I SO appreciate how you are not impulsive, you really take your time to think details and cohesion through and through…I need to do this more. Often, I get so impatient and I don’t realize that in the haste I’m missing out of the richness of what and room or space fully could have been. Good things take time and you are doing an amazing job at this in your home!
I just got a from Fleamarket a painting that has a horse on a farm with wood trim. I love it! Horses are such majestic creatures.
I love that you do little corners and rooms each at a time, and not everything at once, it feels like an adventure! love what you do Ariel
Your content is just *content sigh* simply the best. So enjoyable and so relaxing. I always look forward to the weekends when you have a new video.Thanks for creating for this community of adorable nerds and book worms! We love it.
You can still keep in the footage of your flooring work, painting your walls, and shelving work! I personally love watching it even though it's like the 15th time I've seen it lol. This video felt so short compared to past videos. Honestly I love the details.
My first instinct would have been to use the lighter blue-gray as the closet color. Seeing the final result though, I couldn't agree more with the deep blue.... Absolutely gorgeous! And the change in lighting was spot on.
I am so glad that you painted the space the blue color. It is such a nice touch.
Love the color you chose, it goes so well with the beautiful wallpaper. Can’t wait for the bathrooms and kitchen to get remodeled, those will be so satisfying to watch. 😊
I think it would be really cute to add a lil curtain at the bottom to hide the litter box! But it looks great the blue was a great choice 🥰
Even though its not a super long video i just gotta get real comfy so that i can enjoy every second. I love your home editing videos so much, they bring me great joy and comfort. Thank you for sharing them!!
I really hope you continue with the home decor content after you finish your house, this is so pretty and sensitive
I'm literally obsessed with these videos! I love every single renovation so much!
It just keeps getting better and better. I love it. I cheered when you said it would be the dark blue. It looks so rich. The whole thing is perfect. Thanks for another terrific video.
The blue was a great choice. Nice job, as always!
I would have loved if you had painted the shelves the same salmon color as the trim.
As a Nova Scotian, I really appreciate the Bluenose shirt! As always, love your videos!

I was so excited when I saw the tshirt in a thrift shop. INSTANT PURCHASE!!!
This is lovely ! I so love your use of colours 💖 If you want it to be extra nice, you could use cord covers, hide all the light cords in there and paint it the same blue as the wall ! They would disappear behind the shelves 😊
The blue was the perfect choice, it looks amazing 😍
The dark blue with the wooden shelves makes it look so classy. And then the lighting setup makes it feel so cozy, lol. You made some good decisions there! Love it!
It's a cute little room! I think the dark blue was the right choice. Lots of storage, very useful being near the bathroom. Nicely done!
That gorgeous blue really does something for my soul 😭🥰🥰🥰🥰
You will never know how happy your videos make me and how much they are helping me survive a hard time in my life. Thank you.

in one of your previous videos you said, "I want every inch in this home to feel intentional" (paraphrasing), and you embody that fully. you've inspired me to try and do the same. another stunning improvement 🥰
Hi Ariel, I love what you've done to your closet...but maybe find a way to tuck in the wires hanging from the lighting...other than that fantastic job
Beautiful! ♥ I would add a dark blue curtain as a last touch to hide all the stuff behind. ^^
I have never thought to decorate a closet because I always think of it as a space no one sees, but now I'm kinda inspired to make my very ugly bedroom closet pretty...

You see it! Decorate for yourself, not for others!
Ariel! I'm ready to buy a house and hire you to do the wood floors because yours are so STUNNING. I weep. All of these house videos are so satisfying to watch.
I think your kitty deserves a nice soft motion sensitive light that doesnt blind when it flashes on. Or, if you can train him/ her, their own light switch for the lower cabinet, that way they can decide if they want it on or not. Also, dont kitties like art? Put some pictures down there too?
It looks fabulous! I am so glad you went with the blue. It flows so nicely with the wallpaper and door trim!
I want to be Ariel’s friend so that I came come over and enjoy that house. Its turning out so beautiful! You are doing so good Ariel!
I am so glad that you picked the blue!
I watch your videos of your house and it's a true inspiration! For the skills, for the style, for the non-conformity... You don't just renovate your house, you give Agnès her life back! (sorry for my approximate english, I'm french).
I love any and all morsels you let us grab on to. I’ve been thinking ab the bathroom and I think the public is ready
I could watch you talk about color choices for hours, I love how much depth, thought and just passion you have for what your doing. As someone who’s been obsessed with fashion for the last 10 years, I feel like Ive got that skill down. And exploring interior design is like a whole nother world Ive discovered. You have a new subscriber, have fun renovating!
Choosing the blue was such a no brainer, I’m so glad you went with that! Ugh it’s so beautiful
Functionality of it, the floor, the frame, the shelves - one of my favourite rooms!
Those jeans would look so cool with like a plaid or patterned patchwork for the holes
Absolutely sublime transformation. Gorgeous colour, super useful space. Perhaps you're already planning this but a bit of cable management would just put the final bit of polish on.
So stunning!! my only suggestion would be to get some cord covers for those white cords but I love how it all turned out
Love love love this video. I'd be curious to know more about the lighting you're using. Looks like something that would be really useful in my place.

You are so talented and creative! I love watching your home get transformed room by room. Having done some work on my old house I know how much effort it really is - the videos where things just magically go to the next step don't tell the whole story of all your hard work. :)
I love that you are sharing the tiny spaces, all the spaces. It is a treat to take the time with you to work through each little chunk of your house, thank you for sharing it with us 🥰
I just ABSORB your interior decorating! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍
I know this is old but if u zip tie the wires to the shelf tracks it will look so much cleaner, and you can always snip the ties to move the shelves around
love your attention to detail and making hte most of ANY space you have in your lovely home. Enjoy watching your vids !!!
Just lovely, you have inspired me! I would paint and staple the wires to the wall for a more finished look. Well done.
yessss!! so happy to see it coming together aaaaa
well this is definitely the sequel we all knew we needed. thanks for another beautiful video, Ariel!
Before you said the colour of the wall I was shouting out the Blue one yah👍🤗 beautiful job on the closet 🤗🌹👍🍰☕ Love Sue❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤
I love the wall color & the shelves, but the lighting with (the white cords) needs to be painted the wall color the cords also needs to be going straight down and secured with some clear plastic anchors. Also put the puck lighting on the under side of the shelves themselves. The plastic storage bins should be swap out with wicker or other natural materials. * I would love to see you use the lighter yellow paint (the original) in the barhroom! You have made some wonderful choices👍👍
It’s so satisfying and fun to watch these transformations!
So glad you went with the blue it looks fantastic!!
Love the color choice in paint with the wallpaper, beautiful.
Great call on the paint. And indeed a lovely and functional closet!
