There's so much personality in this. So much of it is gorgeous. What a wonderful coincidence that you used the same type of wallpaper as bestdressed. I love bestdressed's apartment makeover vids, they're just so deeply satisfying, and I've been searching for the same vibe ever since she stopped making RUclips videos. Upon finding your video, I've realised that the highly specific genre that I crave is eccentric home makeovers with heavily invested narrators that talk about their life, passions, and the decor in equal measure. Please invest in a good desk and chair though, haha.
Oh my gosh!!!! I've been transforming my bedroom into a fairy fantasy forest and I wanted a Victorian inspired office to go with it. You have motivated me to finish my fantasy rooms! Thank you.
i’ve never been so happy to stumble upon someone’s channel before. this entire video was perfection. the office turned out so well!!!! beautifully done 🤌🤌
I too am a Virgo and am currently sitting watching you from my own snug/office/craft room/library in England. It has such a similar vibe so was a pleasure to see a like minded fellow Virgo and made me feel a bit less ‘mad’ for the organised chaos that soo brings me joy! You have a new subscriber because of that and look forward to more content. Definitely don’t burn real candles unless you are totally present, I almost had a complete disaster with my wall sconce candles, wax all over the objects below and so close to setting the house on fire. Remote controlled battery candles and flickering bulbs in lights are a worthy and safe alternative. Would love to see your room at night, to get the ambience. Good job girl! X
I'm impressed how many knick knacks you fit in the room without it feeling cluttered. The different mini themes work really well together! Top notch! Pinterest goals!
Fun décor - my home is created in a similar way of hunt and collect. , I have many religious shrines which inspire my prayer and worship. I do have some Disney, Universal and old objects and the walls are a gallery of my paintings and collected sculpture. Arranging the objects to make esthetic sense and going with your personal interest's make the Maximalist house into a museum of eclectic joy! Great job - now keep looking for your bigger desk and comfy office chair!
I’m new here. I’m so happy to see someone decorate a room to THEIR style and not a trend. I’m so here for it. From the sailboat, to the feather, to the rotten potato and the itty bitty cute mouse holding the light bulb. I love it! 🤗🤗🤗🤗
This is all SO EXTREMELY close to my exact taste. My husband and I collect authentic Victorian, but I’m a Hufflepuff who love faeries and unicorns! We’re both artists in every way, so we collect oil paintings, porcelain, tables, chairs (I’m sitting in my 1880’s Hunzinger rocking chair right meow, 😂) and of course I have crystals, and all that too. The only thing I’m missing is a cat. I could use a white Persian cat with blue eyes, name him Sir Pewdence and my life would be complete. 💚 I enjoyed your renovation. 😂👏
Like you, I'm struggling trying to figure out how to meld the two different aesthetics that I gravitate towards. You did a fabulous job mixing yours and I love it!!! I'm definitely getting some of that wallpaper 😊
The description at the beginning of everything you want in a room style sounds very much like my description of the kinds of books I like. I have very broad tastes, I wouldn't begin to know how to put my favorites on a numbered list, and what I want most frequently changes with my mood, which is why I often read multiple books at the same time, just trading them off until they're finished, except that I also frequently start another one before that.
I’ve never met someone soooo similar to me in taste like you. when you talked about your ideas & your style... are you my long lost twin or my soulmate?😭 I wish I could meet you one day. I also have so much to learn from you (let’s put my laziness away a little bit)
How you explained what you wanted to feel like is the exact words I’ve been trying to explain how I want my new office to look and feel. Beautiful makeover and will definitely be taking inspiration
I love your humor and personality! Haven't made it through the whole video yet but I will for sure, I'm excited to see how it turns out! I found you through your Arizona videos and I enjoy those a lot as well!
The way you described what you wanted for the room at 2 minutes as well as your style was the most accurate description of how my brain works and you're the first person I've ever seen talk like that/like me/how I feel about my own style. It was an instant subscribe for me. It's nice to meet someone on that same wave length!
Gorgeous!!! i love it! I wish I could do this to my daughter's room, shes 15 but not into stuff like this... i am lol.. If it wasnt for my husband I would do my bedroom like this lol It turned out beautiful, great job!
I’m an older woman. In my 7th decade. I just realized in the last few years that I like a style described as bohemian. My hubby is definitely not on board with that. So my space is decorated with a gallery wall and painted furniture to my heart’s content. I’m happy in my space.💜💜💜
I totally get your personality. Your aesthetics are beautiful and whimsical and I totally get it. We are a rare breed, but that is okay. The modern humans can keep their polished steel and boring minimalistic style. I personally can’t stand that every time I walk into someone’s house I see the exact same artwork and furniture pieces as I saw in the last 20 houses I have visited. It’s like deja vu in a bad way. I just found a secretary desk at my local goodwill that is between 150 and 200 years old. It’s gorgeous and has the most wonderful patina, and I can’t wait to get it home. I am moving in with my boyfriend this summer and will be getting my own hobby room in the basement where I can decorate it with all my vintage and antique stuff. Going for a dark academia/ dark fairy/ goblin core/ victorian library style room. Love the little mouse lamp you had. I have a cheecky monkey lamp from AliExpress that I can’t wait to hang in a corner. Love from Denmark
I like a lot of the same style with a bit of a fairy tale/British study type vibe, which is why the video title caught my attention. I like the ball and claw feet and the French chest.
Your wallpaper would make great drawer or shelf liner. You can take an avocado seed and put it in a glass bulb forcer (find them in thrift shops) and grow a tree in your house until it gets too high and then you can transplant it in a vintage or reused pot. You did a beautiful job on your special space. You did not do too much. It is fabulous using all your finds and over time will morph. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Laurel, this room is stunning. Its eclectic, oldy worldly and enthuses the past. You have same taste as me, eg. Old typewriter, old radio, old telephone. Love it all and well done.
I really love the fancy clock on the dresser! Also, that fringed lamp is just perfect! I love the room so much! I will never tire of rooms, and houses that make me think of haunted Victorian mansions!
It came out gorgeous. I love that wallpaper. I love everything and is so well put together but my favorite thing in the room is that small black typewriter. Is the cutest.
That little "dresser"is acutally a night stand that would be next to a bed. Love the room, very elegantly eclectic!! The work desk would look better with a older looking desk, if you can come arcoss one. But over all, it's an awesome room, love the wall paper. Great job!! :)) I too decorate in a very eclectic way, and wouldn't do it any other way! :)))
Adding this to my wholesome room content inspo. I was looking for that adventure, renaissance/medieval, and dark academia vibes. This definitely caught my attention span from A-Z. Loveeeed it ❤️
I love the little mouse light, I give this room a 10 out of 10. I have that same bead lamp, our styles are pretty similar, glad I saw this video, I feel almost like twinsies.
Okay I'm so vibing with you on this! I used to describe my favorite decor style as English nobleman traveling through India, Morrocco, and Egypt; large canvas tents with ornate rugs, plush silk pillows, detailed mahogany wood furniture, lots of blown glass bottles and decanters.
I watched this months ago and loved it and now I'm back again getting inspiration for my master bedroom! The way you described your vision(s) for your space remind me of the vibe I'm going for: if Bag End and 221B Baker Street had a tidy love child! Thanks for extra inspiration!
Your room turned out great! I absolutely love the wall with the wallpaper. Not just the wallpaper, but the gallery hangings. Gives me victorian vibes. I love it!
Laurel - Love it all. So many similar things I love as well. This took me forever to get through because I kept pausing and freezing and replaying this video to take everything in. It's perfection. Have a wonderful day. Blessings - Judith 🎭🎵
Your explanation of your vision is SO me haha glad I found this video. I want a witchy spooky dark academia library victorian/vintage magical vibe. Not sure what thats gonna look like yet. I picked 3 burgundy sample colors and still havent decided. I also want to turn the current closet into a cozy reading corner with a daybed and shelves above. Maybe some cool wallpaper and sconces
OMFG THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL😭💘 I got chills as you showed the closeups of all the details! So, so beautiful - the color scheme, the vintage trinkets, THE SWORD 🗡. I am not allowed to redo any of the rooms in my place, so you are essentially basking in my dreams every time you step foot in that gorgeous room!
Love the whole space, especially that wallpaper it’s so gorgeous. The only thing I would recommend is investing in a tarp, it is going to be your best friend doing any laborious project that could get messy.
You have Jenna Marbles energy but in dark academia/witchy style. Same energy, different font, I love it
I think that's the best compliment I've ever received! ❤❤❤
thats such a good anaolgy :0
The way you discribed the Aesthetic for this office is exactly how I would describe my dream house 🤣😂👌🏻🖤✨⚡️💫🌙
yesssssss! 😍
Same!! Its the vibe I'm trying to pull off in my country kitchen right now😊
yes! literally each new description was so perfect!
Yes 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💜
Same here, I think I found my corner of RUclips 🤗
for future reference: remove the outlet covers before papering. hide the cutting mess when you put it back on.
There's so much personality in this. So much of it is gorgeous.

Thank you so much!! 🥰 I’m glad you found what you were looking for in my video!
I do eccentric makeovers on my RUclips channel, you’re more than welcome to check them out 💕
definitely check out ariel bisset and rachel maksy too!!
@@caitydooley9682 I love Rachel’s channel!
That's exactly what I was gonna say!!
The what is your style "Yes." I felt that to my CORE! 😂
I love it! Your room looks like a carefully curated museum! So many special moments around it! ❤
what a compliment!
YES FINALLY someone with the same thought as me, my style is everything, all at once.
Oh my gosh!!!! I've been transforming my bedroom into a fairy fantasy forest and I wanted a Victorian inspired office to go with it. You have motivated me to finish my fantasy rooms! Thank you.
"Did I instead invest in a fortune telling station? YES. Welcome to me." I laughed out loud.
hahah glad I could make you laugh! :)
this is me buying for christmas 😂😂
Just add a set of Runes!
i’ve never been so happy to stumble upon someone’s channel before. this entire video was perfection. the office turned out so well!!!! beautifully done 🤌🤌
Omg thank you so much!! 😍😍❤️

I'm impressed how many knick knacks you fit in the room without it feeling cluttered. The different mini themes work really well together! Top notch! Pinterest goals!
This is stunning ! We definitely have the same taste. I love everything about this video and Rachel Maksy would love it !!!!
Omg best compliment ever!! and YES I bet you can tell it was inspired by the amazing Rachel Maksy :)
I love your sense of whimsy and imagination.
Fun décor - my home is created in a similar way of hunt and collect. , I have many religious shrines which inspire my prayer and worship. I do have some Disney, Universal and old objects and the walls are a gallery of my paintings and collected sculpture.

The blue bag on the floor slowly drooping more and more at 2:39 really hit different
lol I'm glad someone finally noticed 😂
I am a Maximalist who loves "stuff" too. I love what you have done 😁
What ana amazing result! This is hands down the best fairy/cottage core room make over I've seen
omggg thank you! What a compliment!! :)
I’m new here. I’m so happy to see someone decorate a room to THEIR style and not a trend. I’m so here for it. From the sailboat, to the feather, to the rotten potato and the itty bitty cute mouse holding the light bulb. I love it! 🤗🤗🤗🤗
🙌🖤
I just found you. You had me at , "what is your design style?" "Yes." You're my Spirit Animal! 🤣
Wall paper makes excellent shelf liners or you could cover over the plastic organizers with it. Just some ideas. I love what you did with the room!
This is all SO EXTREMELY close to my exact taste.
My husband and I collect authentic Victorian, but I’m a Hufflepuff who love faeries and unicorns! We’re both artists in every way, so we collect oil paintings, porcelain, tables, chairs (I’m sitting in my 1880’s Hunzinger rocking chair right meow, 😂) and of course I have crystals, and all that too.

I enjoyed your renovation. 😂👏

"A Virgo with a 'too much' gene" really resonates for me! Do carry on!
Great choice of wallpaper, cool gallery wall. Also love the chair legs.
Cool vibe.

I’m glad you like my style and find it similar to yours!! 😍😍😍
The way you described what you wanted your office to look like was just... Chef's kiss. That sounds like everything one could ever wish for
awwww ❤️
I'm so glad I found this to take notes from while I plan my steampunk office! Very inspiring, thank you.
omg that will be so awesome! :)
How you explained what you wanted to feel like is the exact words I’ve been trying to explain how I want my new office to look and feel. Beautiful makeover and will definitely be taking inspiration
I love the giant list of what the room could be! 😍 lol!
Hahah 😆❤️
This is beautiful! Definitely less creepy and dark and more airy and botanical. Very glad the algorithm led me to your lovely videos.
I love your humor and personality! Haven't made it through the whole video yet but I will for sure, I'm excited to see how it turns out! I found you through your Arizona videos and I enjoy those a lot as well!
Thank you!! hope you stick around :)
@@laurelstreed Oh for sure!!
I am literally OBSESSED with it. My tiny little tear dropped on my chest while i was watching 🥲
Omg ur room is indeed a dream room I love all the vintage decorations especially the wall art 😍 u really inspired me 🧡
I’m so glad 😍😍
You and I have the same taste in decorating. I love old times, oddities, vintage stuff, dark wood and many pictures being hung
😍
Love your room makeover and style it is so beautiful.
Thank you so much!! 🤩

Oh this room is just stunning! 😍 heading to insta straight away to save all of the photos as inspiration for my own place!
oh thank you!! :D
I love how it turned out! So many different items to catch the attention! I definitely understand just soaking in the ambiance.
Thanks so much! 😊
Gorgeous!!! i love it! I wish I could do this to my daughter's room, shes 15 but not into stuff like this... i am lol.. If it wasnt for my husband I would do my bedroom like this lol It turned out beautiful, great job!
She might later in life ☺️
I’m an older woman. In my 7th decade. I just realized in the last few years that I like a style described as bohemian. My hubby is definitely not on board with that. So my space is decorated with a gallery wall and painted furniture to my heart’s content. I’m happy in my space.💜💜💜
Love that!
Im a maximalist enthusiast so thanks for doing a makeover that isnt modern minimalism hahahaha
Honestly 🙏
I'm dying! The way you ranted about all of the dreams you have for your room is so relatable, especially the witch one!
I totally get your personality. Your aesthetics are beautiful and whimsical and I totally get it. We are a rare breed, but that is okay.

oooo I love that and thank you!
Looks beautiful the little mouse lite is adorable. Oh love it all not to much stuff .
your description of what you want the room to look like is killing me its so good!
My 20 year old self is internally happy crying at how fabulously this turned out. So impressed 💖
Thank you! 😭❤️
You gotta love her. Her energy is infectious...
That was absolutely amazing. Simplicity, sense of humor, creativity... 🙌
So delightful a room! I'd be squealing with joy everytime I'd walk in.
Use a magnet to gather up the staples, works like a charm!
Your wallpaper would make great drawer or shelf liner.

I’ve never gotten the avocado thing to work 😭
Everything is so cozy and Magickal !!! 🌹🌹🌹
Hi Laurel, this room is stunning. Its eclectic, oldy worldly and enthuses the past. You have same taste as me, eg. Old typewriter, old radio, old telephone. Love it all and well done.
When you described your style I was like “oh my god that’s me”. I love what you did!
Love this! “My style is yes. My style is everything.” I so relate to everything you said!😂❤️
Wonderful! You decorated your room like all that’s floating around in my brain!!! I adore it!
I really love the fancy clock on the dresser! Also, that fringed lamp is just perfect! I love the room so much! I will never tire of rooms, and houses that make me think of haunted Victorian mansions!
I’ve never felt more accurately described than this intro.
Ok, I know this is off topic, but as a Hermitcraft girlie, I was absolutely BOPPING to the intro lol (iykyk :3)
Every description you gave for your room, basically described my character for the last 38 yrs.
It came out gorgeous. I love that wallpaper. I love everything and is so well put together but my favorite thing in the room is that small black typewriter. Is the cutest.
That little "dresser"is acutally a night stand that would be next to a bed. Love the room, very elegantly eclectic!! The work desk would look better with a older looking desk, if you can come arcoss one. But over all, it's an awesome room, love the wall paper. Great job!! :)) I too decorate in a very eclectic way, and wouldn't do it any other way! :)))
Your thrift has the coolest stuff
If I owned that building, I would leave the walls as is, when you move out! I love it!
Adding this to my wholesome room content inspo.
I was looking for that adventure, renaissance/medieval, and dark academia vibes. This definitely caught my attention span from A-Z. Loveeeed it ❤️
thank you! I'm so glad 😍
I love the little mouse light, I give this room a 10 out of 10. I have that same bead lamp, our styles are pretty similar, glad I saw this video, I feel almost like twinsies.

Okay I'm so vibing with you on this! I used to describe my favorite decor style as English nobleman traveling through India, Morrocco, and Egypt; large canvas tents with ornate rugs, plush silk pillows, detailed mahogany wood furniture, lots of blown glass bottles and decanters.
THAT IS EVERYTHING

Omg that’s the best thing ever!! 😍❤️ thank you and good luck!
wow i never knew how much I'd actually like a room like this!
Your room turned out great! I absolutely love the wall with the wallpaper. Not just the wallpaper, but the gallery hangings. Gives me victorian vibes. I love it!
😍
"what is your style?"
"Yes"
Felt in my SOUL.
immediately subscribed 💓💓
That’s the best 😭❤️
your description of style: yes just yes
I have watched this so many times. It is delightful!!! Every time!
omg thank you! 😭
It's gorgeous. My house is alive in wonderland meets a witch, fairytale, football, pink house.
This is so freaking entertaining !!! why have have I NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE ??!!!
Laurel - Love it all. So many similar things I love as well. This took me forever to get through because I kept pausing and freezing and replaying this video to take everything in. It's perfection. Have a wonderful day. Blessings - Judith 🎭🎵
Well, that was pure fun!! How delightful to see someone decorate from the heart. So inspirational.
Thank you so much!
The Mouse light is adorable
love the humorous editing of this video... and the quote 'what is your style? yes' rings so true with me, haha!
coming back to say that your vision-description made me as aroused as the idea of a room could make me... this is everything I want...
That fairy tale book you put away in the intro, I have that book! That’s was so cool to see it!
😍
Lol the sweet potato saw the picture on the wall and gave up. It’s still very cute 😊
It was so sadddddd! :(
Your room is so whimsical and creative! Great job!
Yess finally RUclips recommends me quality small RUclipsrs, this amazing I love your taste in room decor!!
Thank you!! 😍😍😍😍
I'm currently struggling to do my office into, well, THIS. You absolutely read my soul. I was so lost and now I know EXACTLY what I want! Thank you!
So glad I could help 😍
I haven’t made it past the intro. But your description of the aesthetic you’re going for had me immediately click “subscribe.”
I love everything you’ve done and the resulting ambience. Very much my style 😊
Your explanation of your vision is SO me haha glad I found this video. I want a witchy spooky dark academia library victorian/vintage magical vibe. Not sure what thats gonna look like yet. I picked 3 burgundy sample colors and still havent decided. I also want to turn the current closet into a cozy reading corner with a daybed and shelves above. Maybe some cool wallpaper and sconces
Wow, this turned out so beautiful. I really like the placement of the desk.
Well done!
Thank you 😊
I love how much character you added into this room. I also adore (absolutely adore) your swords
Thank you 😍
LOOOOOVE the room. It is so beautiful and authentic. Very Cousy. Great job Laurel.
OMFG THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL😭💘 I got chills as you showed the closeups of all the details! So, so beautiful - the color scheme, the vintage trinkets, THE SWORD 🗡. I am not allowed to redo any of the rooms in my place, so you are essentially basking in my dreams every time you step foot in that gorgeous room!
You are so kind! ☺️❤️
Never watched your content before and minute mark 2 - room vibe comedy = immediate subscription. LOLing get it girl.
omg best compliment ever!! 😆
Love the green chair & The Wallpaper..The Mouse lamp and everything ! You did such a great job!.. TFS♡
Thanks so much! 😊
That wallpaper... it is just perfect.
it's a DREAM!
This has to be one of the best videos I've ever watched ♥️
Love the whole space, especially that wallpaper it’s so gorgeous. The only thing I would recommend is investing in a tarp, it is going to be your best friend doing any laborious project that could get messy.
Your office turned out so cool looking!! love the mix of old and new. You knew exactly what you wanted and achieved it beautifully!! Great job 👏
Thanks so much! 😊
