    This was so fun to work on with you all! 🤗 I hope you enjoyed this series that I may continue after some time reflecting on the latest changes. Which outer curtain panels did you prefer (silk or cotton/linen blend)?

    Beautifully designed! I have to smile as I see you change things until it seems right. I do the same. It's important that the scale and spacing feel right to me. I think the linen drapes look wonderful. Don't get me wrong, silk is my love language, but the linen feels good in the space. It's been a long time since I've gone on the hunt for pieces for our home. I appreciate going with you on your trips. Thank you so much for your peaceful videos. Take care, Linda 🦋

      Thank you Linda! 😊❤️ Also thank you for your input on the drapes! I am leaning in the cotton/linen drape direction as well (and it seems like we both really like silk haha). I’m so happy to hear that you enjoy thrifting with Suki and I!Have a great week Linda 💕

    What a transformation! Congratulations! Regarding paint color, I keep leaning towards a much lighter color than the options on the board. The room is fairly dark and with drapes and short windows there's little opportunity for sunlight or brightness. I keep envisioning the room with light walls for a feeling of openness and airiness. My preference matters none at all. Living with it for a while is smart, and I'm 100% sure you'll find the perfect solution that works for you.

    • @MelbaMakes
      @MelbaMakes  Год назад +1

      I enjoyed the moody color-drenched green but now I am up for a complete change in the opposite direction with a much lighter color like how you suggest (I didn’t have a paint swatch for that one to put on the board)! Thank you for coming along and for sharing your ideas, I appreciate them! ❤️🤗

You're careful and deliberate in your choices and trade up or out, as more perfect items become available. I'm not sure how I found your channel--I think it was the video on how to clean and renew used couches. I'm so glad I found you and wish you an epic and creative run on RUclips!

    I love what you’ve done with the office! Also love seeing your doggie and cat!! (Just a suggestion. I go to our library in the “buy old books room” for coffee table boxes. Really cheap. I take off the outside jacket of the books, to see what the real book color is, and chose the book from that to use for decor.) 🙋🏼‍♀️

    It's fun to watch the process. Personally, i would paint a light color; this color feels claustrophobic to me. And I would clear some of the surfaces for workspace. Where is the printer? That c onsole is nice.

    This may seem weird but I liked your pothos pot when it was in the bowl. I thought that was to catch water and it looked cool. Didn't realize until later that it wasn't meant to stay that way. Everything is looking very nice.

      I was using it to catch water lol I’m trying the pothos with that tray or a different tray with a little more depth (I wanted the bowl back to use for succulents). It’s cool to hear that you liked plant pot inside the bowl!

    You really warmed up the space with the wooden table. Everything looks great. It’s funny that I never thought of lowering the hem on a pair of curtains that I have until you mentioned it and that’s exactly what I’m going to do.

    • @MelbaMakes
      @MelbaMakes  Год назад

      I lowered the hem on accident 😂 I thought the person I bought them from shortened the hem but after I saw this panel at Pottery Barn I’m pretty sure it was just a really long hem to begin with which worked out for me and I’m glad it may work out for you too! 🙌🏽 thank you for your kind words and for coming along for this one Michelle! ❤

    well, I think this project is all done--but here is my suggestions. I would separate the two chairs and put them on each side of the room. I think each of you would enjoy soft seating for a phone call, or to read, or to relax for a bit. and I think the table will look less orange as you add accessories.

    I love everything! It looks amazing. I like the lighter weight curtains - agree that it looks better without the secretary desk and without the 2 small pictures. There is something about the rattan hanging lamp that just feels off to me - a little too sixties and seventies. I think you could get a similar but classier option to either have a smoky glass hanging round orb pendant lamp or one or two glass orb or similar type lamps on your console.
