Omg I love the yellow bedside tables with the black accent wall?? At first I didn’t know what to expect but seeing it altogether it works so well! I think it looks quite classy and fitting for a boys’ room
Aww, thank you, Safiya! I don't know if they appreciate my DIYing right now, but I know for a fact when they grow up and get their own place, I can guarantee they'll be asking me to do stuff for them. LOL!
I don't think they realized how much they needed their own space until they got it. They can stretch out! And I have noticed that they settle down much faster when they're not smacked up against each other. LOL! :) That must have been interesting with 3 sisters together in your room! Hopefully you guys got along! :)
@@ThriftDiving , ahahaha, for the most part. I'm the middle, so, I got my own room because I didn't argue when the time came! Great 4 me. Take great care.
What a thrill. The boys were right about the black wall and what you did with the beds and designing the room was so well presented. I thank you. See you next time.
I know the prices for wood, especially plywood, is crazy this year. But maybe if you had built the headboards las well as the frames you could have matched the stains and beds’ design. This might have also allowed you to build the frames a little bigger to fit the mattresses. Another thought is if you removed the bottom framing on the dresser, added some support boards to hold new legs, maybe ones legs that matched the nightstands, then paint it the same yellow.
I 💜 the black accent wall. I love the entire project! I always pick up such useful tips from you. I do agree that the blue was a bit of a miss. I think that particular blue has too much grey in it to go with the yellow (in my opinion anyway).
You're right. Even my son Ohene was like, "I'm not sure about that blue, Mommy..." LOL. I love the shade of it, but not for that space. I think a nice gray would be great. I'll be repainting it soon. Thank you for the compliments and feedback, Darnia! :)
I’ve kept track of my grand kids heights by using blue painters tape on the inside of a storage closet door. Each child has her/his own strip on which I draw a height measurement line & date each line. They enjoy looking back at their growth.
I think I've been watching you/reading your blog for 7 or 8 years, does that seem right? And when I think of back then and compare it to now, my how far you've come! All that fancy woodworking equipment! I love these beds and the room. Very nicely put together!
Oh wow, Lisa!! You are amazing to stick around for so long!! You don't know how happy that make me. :) You're right that I've definitely graduated with tools and such! They have made it easier to build some of the other projects I've been wanting to build. I love tools!!
You did an amazing job on that room just color that blue dress yellow and it'll be all good I love how you created the names for both boys over the bed I would like to have that fun for my grandson
Using antique headboards makes a room pop. I used 'full size' headboard for a room. Unfortunately, I had a queen size bed.... so what I did was to hang the headboard on the wall. So easy and looks great!
Brilliant! One black wall on the window wall does look great with three white walls. Love your jigsawing the names. Not too many of us could do that well...
What an amazing transformation of your kids bedroom! Excellent job! Can’t believe you made the beds, that is amazing! You have an adorable family! Thank you for sharing your talent and creativity with us and God bless! 👏🙏
Thank you! Who would have known I would ever like a black wall?? LOL. Everything in my house is either a pink wall or lavender, or blue! Glad to see I was able to step out of my comfort zone. :)
Thank you, Liza! Next up: hubby's messy office. I have to get that done no later than NEXT WEEK! Yikes! And I have NO ideas for what I'm going to do in that room! LOL
That was the difficult part, especially in finding the comforters. There aren't many comforters that are made with a masculine look. They're either too girly, too plain, or just plain ugly. LOL. I was lucky to find these! I think it set the tone for the room! :)
O my I love the black wall it looks up scale I love your thrifting ideas I just found some children’s rocking chairs someone threw out can’t wait to re paint them
What a difference and so much more grown up. It’s a really cool room and massive kudos to you for your fantastic woodworking skills. I bet the boys love their new room.
This turned out so beautiful! I was ecstatic for you that you found the set of headboards for such a great deal! And the way that you refinished them and didn't just cover them up with paint made me so happy. Great job!!
Great job!! I applaud you!! another women that knows how to use power tools and the fact that you know how to build furniture.. Beautiful women and empowered, you GO GURL!!!. I gotta stop hating.. lol! thanks for sharing.
Was cool that you made those headboards into beds but they could just be attached to metal frames. I have done that before because I am not a woodworker like you. Just a tip for non wood workers. The room came out lovely. Good work Mom!!
You absolutely scored big with this headboards. But, you amped up the find and created new beds. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 The colors are perfect, as long as your sons love it. I'm redoing a bedroom for my youngest grandson (he's getting my She Room Closet😞). They're ALWAYS at my home. Lol! 🙂
Fabulous job!! It's perfect for your growing boys. Loved seeing your sweet boy enjoy his bed. Makes this new momma heart happy and excited to go through that myself. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
Awesome!!! What a great boys rooms. It has grown up with them. I am sure the boys are over the moon with their new room. I wasn't sure about reback wall but it looks fabulous.
Great tips!! I love your step by steps of the processes. I have an old full-size headboard I’m trying to figure out how to use with my queen size bed 😃
That re-do of their room took your sons from ‘boys to men’‼️ lol Fabulous and perfect for your guys. I bet they take it upon themselves to keep their new space tidy and in order too. 👍🏽
Great job!. Your building skills are amazing. Room looks great AND I would leave the chest of drawers blue. It adds a little drama! Everything doesn't have to match perfectly. I like! God bless.
I LOVE that black accent wall. I told my husband when we move to our new home, I am going to do a black accent wall somewhere in the house. I don't care if its in a bathroom or the laundry room I WANT a black accent wall. LOL
It really is! And because it's installed on your browser, it will automatically pop up and tell you if there are coupons, without you having to go hunt them down. I've really been enjoying using it!
You can have your primer tinted darker so you don't have to do 2 coats. Alternatively, Behr's paint and primer in one at Home Depot is excellent hiding paint and 2 coats covers everything.
I love your videos! I’m for the first time considering joining! 🎉You are addressing exactly what I am trying to achieve with my furniture finds beds and the rust and how to install electrical into a she shed, the inset lights everything! Thank you so much! I appreciate you sharing this information.
Hi Lady Serena!!!!!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE LOVE LOVE THE MAKEOVER BEAUTIFUL COZY ROOM FOR BOYS LOVE THE YELLOW AND THE BLACK WALL CURTAINS THEIR NAMES PERSONALIZED ON WALL NICE RUG-LADY IM SO EXCITED AS IF ITS MY ROOM 😁 A WONDERFUL BLESSING
Wow, good job and boy do you know what your doing, I am very impressed with your workshop skills not just a good design eye. When I saw the yellow painted cabinets my first thought was ew (I am not a yellow person), then you showed the finished room and I just had a big Wow moment, that looks really good, love it.
Awesome job. This looks 👌. If you decide to repaint the dresser, maybe paint it black but leave the top a raw wood like the name art you made. And do some raw wood knobs or a brushed gold.
This turned out great! I particularly love the headboards and the hardware on them. Edit: I started watching another one of your videos and had to come back and edit this comment - I saw Dorothy on the screen for a split second and had to run to show my partner that we’re not the only ones who have The Golden Girls playing in the background while doing projects.
Hello there. I have a suggestion for the your kids status that was on their wall. If you have the picture you can print a poster size and frame it and that way you can have it saved for them.
It looks spectacular. It is mature but not mannish or anything. I appreciate how you reuse and build.
It's definitely a room they will be able to grown with. Thank you!!
Headboards turned out beautiful!👍🏾🌺
Omg I love the yellow bedside tables with the black accent wall?? At first I didn’t know what to expect but seeing it altogether it works so well! I think it looks quite classy and fitting for a boys’ room
Thank you so much!!!
Aww, what a sweet surprise at the end. Gorgeous space. They’re blessed to have such a talented mama! 🤓
Aww, thank you, Safiya! I don't know if they appreciate my DIYing right now, but I know for a fact when they grow up and get their own place, I can guarantee they'll be asking me to do stuff for them. LOL!
The sons are adorable!! :)
I ❤it! You did an AWESOME job. Even the bedding is the 💣😉👍🏽
What I like here, is that everything made in budget, but at the same time, high quality.
Yessss! Thank you! :)
Oh I would love a room like that for myself. Well done
Wow!!! Mind completely blown!!! Great job mom!! U completely remade that room and then went and made dinner! Your a true force!!! 🏋️♀️🏋️♀️🏋️♀️🏋️♀️
Their room looks awesome! It must have been nice 4 the boys 2 have their own spaces. We were 3 girls in one room 4 a long time. Simply elegant!
I don't think they realized how much they needed their own space until they got it. They can stretch out! And I have noticed that they settle down much faster when they're not smacked up against each other. LOL! :) That must have been interesting with 3 sisters together in your room!

wow amazing work!!! the dresser might look really nice in the yellow (: great room though, those are lucky kiddos!
I would paint the dresser black, the room is stunning, worthy of being in a magazine👍❤
You did a great job.what a makeover.

Looks great as usual. If you don't like the blue dresser maybe a matt black would be better? thanks for the video.
I agree! I can actually use the left over all paint for it or mix a dark gray.
I love the way his boys room turned out.♡💛♡
LOVE the beds. Fantastic job! They don't pop against the black and it is hidden by pillows but the room looks great.
You did an amazing job on that room just color that blue dress yellow and it'll be all good I love how you created the names for both boys over the bed I would like to have that fun for my grandson
I love this! Great ideas…. I love the blue chest.. I learned about refreshing wood finish. THANK YOU!
Wow! What a beautiful transformation - it looks regal. I love their names Kojo and Ohene (Monday born and king) ❤️💛💚
Using antique headboards makes a room pop. I used 'full size' headboard for a room. Unfortunately, I had a queen size bed.... so what I did was to hang the headboard on the wall. So easy and looks great!
Great idea!!! And less expensive, too! :)
Brilliant! One black wall on the window wall does look great with three white walls. Love your jigsawing the names. Not too many of us could do that well...
Everything looked gorgeous when finished.
The room looks great. I know the boys will sleep so much better in the "new" beds.
What an amazing transformation of your kids bedroom! Excellent job! Can’t believe you made the beds, that is amazing! You have an adorable family! Thank you for sharing your talent and creativity with us and God bless! 👏🙏
This room makeover look so awesome. You did a wonderful job. I am sure the children love it.
How wonderful. They must really be enjoying their new space. Terrific job...as usual!
I love the black accent wall! It looks nice.
Thank you! Who would have known I would ever like a black wall?? LOL. Everything in my house is either a pink wall or lavender, or blue! Glad to see I was able to step out of my comfort zone. :)
Great transformation you did on your sons' room!!!
Thank you, Liza! Next up: hubby's messy office. I have to get that done no later than NEXT WEEK! Yikes! And I have NO ideas for what I'm going to do in that room! LOL
Beautifully styled. Perfectly suited for two young men.
That was the difficult part, especially in finding the comforters. There aren't many comforters that are made with a masculine look. They're either too girly, too plain, or just plain ugly. LOL. I was lucky to find these! I think it set the tone for the room! :)
Great makeover. Lovd the headboards, black accent wall. I would change the blue dresser to black. Love the yellow nightstands too!!
I love what you've done with the room. The yellow, grey and black work well together.
I think you are my hero. What a beautiful job. Love upcycling and creativity.
Love that paper bag fill trick for hole in wall.
“I love this room” 💯🌟💜🌟💯
You son looks so cozy in his new bed! I love your work. Your skills with doing their names with that jigsaw are spectacular
Wow, Festool? You’ve got nicer tools than most woodworkers. You go girl.
Gorgeous room and I like the blue dresser. It still works.
Love the clips of the kids in bed at the end. So sweet. My lips are sealed 🤫 this room really turned out nice.
Awesome, this room will take them through several years.🥰
You seem so clever and the room definately looks very very good. They must absolutely love that room.
O my I love the black wall it looks up scale I love your thrifting ideas I just found some children’s rocking chairs someone threw out can’t wait to re paint them
Amazing! Looks awesome!
Glad you like it, Elise! I adore it. It turned out much nicer than I had expected!
OmGosh!! This looks amazing!! Yes!! Definitely looks like an upscale dorm!!
What an amazing transformation. I miss you so glad i had a chance to see you at your expert work. 👏😊
What a difference and so much more grown up. It’s a really cool room and massive kudos to you for your fantastic woodworking skills. I bet the boys love their new room.
You did an incredible job. I wish I had the talent and tools to build our own furniture. Wow!
AMAZING WOR, LOVE THE CONTRAST AND DESIGN.. THE NAMES CUTOUT ARE FANTASTIC.
This turned out so beautiful! I was ecstatic for you that you found the set of headboards for such a great deal! And the way that you refinished them and didn't just cover them up with paint made me so happy. Great job!!
Love! Love! Love this! So Upscale! You do Amazing work! Congratulations on this Beautiful Makeover!! I know your sons will enjoy this!!
Great job!! I applaud you!! another women that knows how to use power tools and the fact that you know how to build furniture.. Beautiful women and empowered, you GO GURL!!!. I gotta stop hating.. lol! thanks for sharing.

What a nice transformation!! I'm sure your sons are enjoying their space!
Your sons room turned out beautiful! Everything goes perfectly well together.
Wow, what a difference! Upscale & mature looking. Not sure about the blue dresser either, maybe paint it black?
You absolutely scored big with this headboards. But, you amped up the find and created new beds. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
The colors are perfect, as long as your sons love it. I'm redoing a bedroom for my youngest grandson (he's getting my She Room Closet😞). They're ALWAYS at my home. Lol! 🙂
Soo cute!!! I have a black wall in my room. It makes everything pop on it
I know I love light and airy.😍😍😍
Very nice.
Their new room is gorgeous.
It looks so good!! I think the dresser would look great in a darker shade of blue, maybe between that shade and a navy, erring on the navy side.
Gorgeous work! It really does look like an upscaled dormitory room.
Fabulous job!! It's perfect for your growing boys. Loved seeing your sweet boy enjoy his bed. Makes this new momma heart happy and excited to go through that myself. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
Absolutely fantastic, individuality and space are important. Great video.
A fabulous transformation!
Glad you like it!!
Awesome!!! What a great boys rooms. It has grown up with them. I am sure the boys are over the moon with their new room. I wasn't sure about reback wall but it looks fabulous.
What a beautiful job it's a dream room now! Well Done Mama.💙💙💙
Wow, great job! Congrats!!!! Very Stunning! I would paint the dresser black.
Great tips!! I love your step by steps of the processes. I have an old full-size headboard I’m trying to figure out how to use with my queen size bed 😃
Fantastic makeover! Love the yellow side tables not so crazy about the blue.
That re-do of their room took your sons from ‘boys to men’‼️ lol
Fabulous and perfect for your guys. I bet they take it upon themselves to keep their new space tidy and in order too. 👍🏽

Beautiful! 🥰 😍

You can have your primer tinted darker so you don't have to do 2 coats. Alternatively, Behr's paint and primer in one at Home Depot is excellent hiding paint and 2 coats covers everything.
I am going to have to watch this video a few times to see how you put those beds together. Absolutely love the work you did and great job!
I love your videos! I’m for the first time considering joining! 🎉You are addressing exactly what I am trying to achieve with my furniture finds beds and the rust and how to install electrical into a she shed, the inset lights everything! Thank you so much! I appreciate you sharing this information.
I have never used primer when painting over dark-painted wall. A good paint will do the job in a couple of coats.
Wow, this is beautiful.
Thank you, Pamela!!
Would love more woodworking and tool guidance. As you teach in an easily understood manner.
Hi Lady Serena!!!!!!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE LOVE LOVE THE MAKEOVER BEAUTIFUL COZY ROOM FOR BOYS LOVE THE YELLOW AND THE BLACK WALL CURTAINS THEIR NAMES PERSONALIZED ON WALL NICE RUG-LADY IM SO EXCITED AS IF ITS MY ROOM 😁 A WONDERFUL BLESSING
The room turned out absolutely great.
The result looks so nice!!
Thank you, Tacio!

Gorgeous. I think the blue is the wrong hue. Perhaps bordering on navy would work? I’m sure the boys are thrilled with the makeover!👏👏
Love every bit of the Boys room. Turned out amazing! 👍🏾🤩
Looks great! Maybe paint the drawers black or black with white drawer fronts?
Consider painting the blue dresser the same black as the accent wall.
Serena this this looks beautiful and you are a genius! And your sons are so precious 😻
