      You are very right. The overall look is so delicate, calming and beautiful. However I would have chosen a small oval table. It would give more space for an extra chair and would serve better for the end of the bench. But in general, that corner feels very peaceful! Great idea for a small space.

    I am beyond thrilled you didn't put the "faux marble" sticky shelf liner on those beautiful counters. The colors may be outside of your comfort zone but they work with the surroundings and the breakfast nook looks perfect. If at some point in the future you decide to change the countertops salvaging the old ones and reselling them instead of destroying them could help pay for new ones. I'm pleased your generation has embraced the concept of reduce, reuse, recycle and being conscientiously aware of the Earth's resources and understanding they are finite.

  • @paulajames6149
    @paulajames6149 3 года назад +95

    Yes, so much more personality. That’s what I need in my space. But, I would prefer a long table for the nook vs. the round.

    • @PixyStix1991
      @PixyStix1991 3 года назад +2

      Agreed. The base of the table does not allow for much leg room for the person sitting on the bench. Turning it 90 degrees would solve this, and make it so 3 more wishbone chairs could be used.

      That centerpiece Wall art is extraordinarily hard to digest. What an off-putting addition. A mirror or updated deeply textured wall addition could've made this whole room really pop and beckon.
      Everything else, however, is a healthy movement. I've got to admit, it is a pleasant contrast to before as far as the Glassworks go. Extending that rod and shunning the vertical blinds away made a dramatic difference . Great job!!!
      (Except for that wall art. Bury the wall art . 😆)

    • @spremier9626
      @spremier9626 2 года назад +6

      To me the picture is too small for that wall. I would go for a larger piece that fills the space and gets much closer to the sconces. I think a mirror might look old fashioned but that little wall art looks sad 😞 like it’s saying “Let me down, already…”

    I love this makeover! my fave part is how much of a difference taking down the vertical blinds made, and I really like how the white of the wishbone chairs and the dipped stool legs pops against the rest of the palette. I also love how you chose not to "fill up the space" I think my own instinct would have been to get a bigger table, but when I saw the final reveal the table size was perfect for the space. It is another good lesson from you! Thanks Kristen your videos are always so fun to watch.

    Great idea for the storage benches. One bench cushion would look more high end. The old rectangular table was more in scale with the size of the benches and you could easily seat six. As others pointed out, the print needs to be larger. Love the sconces, wall color and back pillows.

I'm a renter so I've been wondering what to do, and I had thought about the IKEA shelves turned on the side, but these toy boxes are a great idea. And a lot of storage. I have about the same amount of room to work with as you did. Being a renter I love the light puck ideas too. Thanks for the great ideas! 💕

    Wow !! Great Job!! I love how hands on and creative you are. Love when the finished product makes you SO joyful & exuberant too !!! It makes me feel the same.
    I love your tips on decorating and the way you explain everything in layman's terms. We all want a beautiful & comfy home but neither I or many others have any degree in design.
