THANK YOU for watching! See links to everything in this room here: cli.re/Master-Bedroom-Sources and see the video about Tom's trip here: ruclips.net/video/e64cTnj6GGA/видео.html We hope you have a great weekend!!! - Dawn & Tom
I LOVE 💗💗💗 the colors of the room and the chairs!!!!! You did great Dawn!🥰 Did you say and I missed it where your clothes are? Have a beautiful and blessed weekend!💗
The children looking out the window waiting for their Dad is priceless. ♥️ The room looks lovely and peaceful. As for the paint on the rug, what a great family story to laugh about in the future. 😊♥️ Great job! 👏🏻
I am an interior designer with a degree and with over 40 years experience. Here is my take: You did a great job of making a peaceful and gracious master bedroom. It is fresh and inviting. Your goal was achieved and I hope you enjoy the finished product considering how hard you worked. I saw that spilled gallon of paint and cringed. I did the same thing once upon a time. I used cat litter to soak it up and then started the serious clean with a steam cleaner. I love tuning in to get inspiration on my own organization from you.
Dawn, the brown chairs look great in my opinion. You’ve got brown tones in your wood doors, and the chairs give a warm softness to the room and I think that’s lovely with the cool grey tones. You definitely achieved calm and serene!
I'll never forget (and 60 years have passed), my mother saving and saving to purchase her first brand new area rug for our living room. She was soooo proud on the day she unfurled it!!! Day two: I came through the front door toting (2) one gallon glass jugs of milk, and managed to break them as I came through .... all over the 9x14 rug. Broken glass bits, sour milk (south Florida heat), and many years of recrimination. 😱 In the big picture, we all lived, and life went on. Hug your girl, and let her know that we all have accidents, and are still loved!
Yes, OMG those moments can be so impactful on the psyche, and not always in a good way. But Dawn is a calm person and hopefully it becomes a warm memory.
I actually like the brown chairs. I think they help the room feel more warm. I have grey in my house too, but I like to add wood accents and I have brown couches. I think it warms up the space a lot. I feel like without those accents, grey is a very cold color and can make a space feel less like home. Also, I relate to not wanting to spend a lot of money. That is something I struggle with too!
I totally agree with you. I've always liked the color grey, but it does have a coldness to it. Browns, beiges, and other earth tones can really bring back some warmth.
Remember the gray can be a cold color. But there are certain shadings of gray that can be very warm. It's like if you're not sure what gray color go to Home Depot if that's your thing, get tons of different colors of gray and when you lay them out you'll see which will give you comfort. Some look better with greens. Some look better with cream. And some look better with blues.
Either the camera makes things look exponentially better than in person or you hold yourself to wayyyy to high of a standard. This room is INCREDIBLE. It absolutely glows and just wow. I adore the style of the blanket ladder, the chairs look really trendy and the balance of the way you put everything together is so appealing. And I literally couldn’t see the paint stain the last time you panned over it. Like I said maybe the flaws are clearer in person but man your room and ability to make it beautiful are incredible. So much fun to watch!!
The bedroom is so nice - the ladder is a perfect accent to the doors and finding comfortable club chairs is worth every penny. Brown. You have three brown doors and a brown ladder, of course it works. You have more design skills than you are aware of Minimal Mom.
Hi Dawn, that spilled paint is just a personal touch to that room. Please don’t be mad about it ever, your daughter just wanted to help. You have such a great kids! You did an amazing job on the latter and the chairs as well the rest of the room, as specially with such a limited timeframe. You are such an inspiration. Thank you. It makes me get up and to something nice at my house. Yay.
My husband calls pillows stuffed animals for adults. You did a great job Dawn! And... you are such a good mom with such a calm response to the spilled paint. Good adulting.
I think my favorite part of this video was your daughter’s reaction the morning after the paint spill. Her saying, “I guess it isn’t the end of the world that the paint spilled...”. That is SO mature and mentally healthy!!!!! I think she’s my hero!
"all that square footage just for us" - please remember you two are the pillars of your family! Nice how the walls and curtains match, and I like the harmonious calmness of the chairs!
I have an interior architecture degree and I would just like to say you did a great job. The brown chairs seem eh on their own and old style. Except when paired with the room, they're great. With lighter chairs you would have created a sterile environment, which is exactly the opposite of you. You live in your home. The brown chairs will allow you to use them, rather than worry about keeping them clean (just like how you felt protective over norwex-even though I love norwex). The brown brings warmth and neutrality. I hope you've come to see this already and enjoy them.
I spilled a gallon of paint on a new floor, it is engineered hardwood. Travelled for miles.....we never moved so fast. It was the finish of my home office renovation. Took hours to get up. You did a great job, no one would know really. Love the chairs. They are comfortable neutral. The room looks like a calm oasis. Great job.
I always mix greys and browns throughout my house. I find that feels more like how colours are in natural. Both warm and cool. And I love those chairs. I also love the shrug on worrying about the carpet. My dad always said it was the first scratch on a car was the hardest to handle but after that you felt like you could relax. Your room is perfectly ready to relax in. :)
Those chairs could not be more perfect! The brown is gorgeous and adds a richness to the common space. The latter turned out much better than I thought it would and putting the plant on it really made it! It looks great! I wouldn’t have chosen gray and brown but now I want that room!
Oh my word. My dad knocked over a whole gallon of paint on our carpet in our new house. After I scraped it up we used our carpet cleaner. Again and again. And honestly you couldn’t tell unless you looked for it. 🤷♀️.
The room looks so pretty! I love the earth tones. I can't believe how ambitious you are, you couldn't find a ladder, so you made one yourself! And it looks great, especially the way you dressed it up. Great job!
I love how neutral and calming the room looks now! Also love how you and Tom model to your kids how it doesn’t pay to sweat the small stuff and to just roll with life’s unexpected surprises and challenges (i.e., spilled paint)! Great life lesson. Love your channel!!!
I'm so proud of you Dawn & kids. First, how you handled the paint spill and also I'm so proud of your continued "get it done" attitude! You inspire me! I want so bad to work with wood and I'd have no idea where to start with something like the ladder. And everyone did a great job working together! Great teamwork! I'm so proud of you! You did AMAZING!
Consider painting that "front" door & trim the same color as the wall. Although it's still there, that would blend it and not make it so eye-catching. Love what you've done!!
That" s a great idea, I was also thinking that you could get a matching curtain panel and put a rod over door to completely hide it and could still be open for daylight or fresh air.
I also get awful buyer’s regret/worry when I buy something that seems unnecessary or extravagant. I’m trying to treat it like decluttering though. Once it’s gone, it’s gone and there’s no need to overthink. Once it’s bought, it’s bought. Less second guessing. Looks super! Thank you for all your inspiration xx
I really like those chairs! I just wanted to cry for you when the paint spilled!! So glad you were able to clean it up enough to be able to live with it. I wasn't too sure about the blanket ladder but ended up loving it once it was styled. Kudos to you Dawn! You did a great job! 👏👏👏👏
The room looks great. Lovely to see that life throws lemons at us all, you two are a great example of how to brush it off and make the best of the situation.
Your Mom was so sweet to come at 4 a.m. to stay with the kids❤️. Thankful Tom made it home safely. Sorry for all the issues and expenses on the Excursion. I think the room is lovely!!
When you were talking about the paint and were trying so hard not to be upset, my heart broke for you! I thought, “Man! I need to send Dawn a Marco to let her know everything is ok and let her talk it out.” Then I remembered...this is a RUclips video and I don’t actually know you in real life 😂 I hope that aside from the hiccups you love the result and it will be a wonderful place for you and Tom to relax!
That room looks like heaven. My bedroom makes me anxious bc it’s become a catch all. This makes me want to clean everything out and go buy comfy chairs lol
I like the chairs, especially with the pillows and blanket on them. And the blanket ladder looks great! I love how you dressed it up with the hooks, etc.
You are the most remarkable family, DIY, son picking out the wood, Dawn cutting & staining... SRSLY??? Those tears to eyes again for sharing your most incredible down-to-earth life... thank you for sharing...💕🙏
I love ❤️ the chairs and I hope that brown might be coming back too! ❤️🙌✨ I love the calm and relaxing 😌 feel of it. People always say your bedroom should be your own personal oasis and I see that 😄
Watched yours and Tom's video. You were both tested to the limit during them both. The room looks lovely - so calm and restful. You both made it to the finishing line and deserve a well earned rest!
The master could NOT have turned out more beautifully!! WOW!! Gorgeous transformation! And I LOVE decorative pillows and my husband hates them, lol. He and Tom can relate!!
Great job Dawn! You made the grandma chairs look so stylish 😁 My dad was a professional painting contractor. If you ever have a paint spill again, water and a shop vac is all you need. Keep dumping more water on and sucking it up until it’s clean and put a fan on it to dry it out. I’ve seen this method work with a five gallon bucket of paint that got knocked over.
Dawn, you handled the spilled paint episode with so much poise and grace. I'm sure Adeline was devastated when she accidentally knocked over the paint. It's hard enough being a tween girl without having something like that happen. I felt bad for her. Your room turned out beautifully, and the comfy chairs (with pillows) are the perfect touch! I like the idea that several people have suggested by camouflaging the outside door with a curtain and possibly painting it.
Enjoyed every single moment of this video! Your problems and Tom's kinda mirrored each other--a terrible 24 hours of issue after issue and problem-solving. I watched Tom's video before this one and hands down you won!! So happy he got home safely and hope to hear more about the Excursion. Love to your whole family!
Swap out the dark color on the entry door to something much lighter like to match the other doors in the room or paint it gray. It sticks out like a sore thumb. I think that alone would make a huge difference to the room. That dark color draws your eye there first. Easy fix.
I was thinking the same thing. Use the wall paint color on the inside of the front door. It’ will blend in better to the room . Love the stain doors , they turned out nicely! The chairs, curtains. Pillow n decorative throw blanket , great idea. Curtains also great choice. Window trim nicely done. The light fixtures (ceiling fan/light kit) & the one over the bed very nicely done. . Just a reminder take a photo of paint labels n stored for future I case of matching colors . Later in year or so. Great job!!
nice earrings! yes - I always notice your earrings! :) (...."sit in here for hours & hours & talk about our feelings"..... ! hahaha! :D ) The chairs are lovely! The blanket ladder looks great. Love the curtains! Bummer about the carpet. Love how the room turned out! Love your "reality show"! That's why we're here - to join you in the reality of life! :)
1. I LOVE the chairs. 2. Give Tom a huge hug. He needs it. 3. It may be time to get rid of the car. 4. Thank you for sharing your lives with us. Blessings!
I like the blanket ladder beside the bed so much better that the mirror in that spot. Good work! I was honestly more worried about Tom flying/driving/getting back more than anything (even paint spill). You have such a sweet house & wonderful family! Thanks!!! :D
LOL he will be thankful when he gets home and doesn’t have to help you with it. safe travels. Okay, I finally was able to watch the entire video and his trip popped up in my feed... you both have had a rough week I hope the next one is much easier. the room looks beautiful.
I like the chairs. To me from a minimal point of view, they’re perfect. The brown and the gray looks good too because nothing is too dark. It looks so relaxing.
The room looks GREAT!!! I live in a small house and have gone with neutral colors for years. It is cohesive, but more importantly it is very calming. Good job Dawn! The chairs look great and you DESERVE to buy them, you're a hard working couple! The room is awesome, I hope you enjoy your sanctuary!
@@TheMinimalMom If in doubt, just check the Pottery Barn or Birch Lane websites. Your addition of the bits of greenery were perfect as well! Have a great weekend!
The room is gorgeous,don’t worry about the brown chairs,they’re awesome,I actually love brown with gray,that’s what my living room color is,the neutral colors are very soothing,enjoy,u deserve it!!
Those chairs are fabulous!!!! I love what you did with your room! It's sooooo peaceful, inviting and calm. Enjoy the fruits of your labor, you deserve it!
I LOVE the brown chairs! They add warmth to the space and the way you placed them in front of the window... if it were me, I'd be sitting there rocking and swiveling and enjoying the view as much as I could! I also loved the bright pop of green in the plant between the chairs. Super inviting space to sit. You were a champ about the paint spill. Such a great example of going with the flow and keeping things in perspective. The whole space is a beautiful makeover and you guys deserve a peaceful room for yourselves. Enjoy!
You could tell that it drained Dawn’s excitement about decorating the space. Her happiness erosion was in full swing after that paint spill. You could tell it had leeched into her feelings about the chairs and ladder. I hope as time passes and the accident on the carpet is less fresh in her mind that she will begin to love what she created a bit more ❤️
@@natalieeubank4533 ...well...some of us have different experiences. I do not have to have the help of little tiny kids to get paint everywhere. I can take my time, be as careful as possible, and very meticulous...but I'm not the most coordinated individual. If there are no kids at all in my house, I'm still not laying carpet before I paint!
I like it. It's nice to wake up facing a nice clean and clear space. That's the biggest minimalist change I made to my house, to keep the view from my bed clutter free so that I could wake feeling peaceful. It's nice to have a grown-up space in your home so don't feel the guilt. Also the chairs are good solid grown up pieces, but I feel you on the guilt of buying brand new, when you're not used to that it doesn't feel right. My heart was in my throat when I saw the paint spill! At least you'd planned for the chairs to go there. You'll have to show us how well it cleaned up when it dried.
I agree with the blanket ladder next to the bed. The mirror reflected the front door and you already have 3 doors! The chairs look great - not dark at all - and the the paint spill has happened to many of us....
I say don’t downplay your new awesome chairs. The new chairs don’t distract from the beautiful view! You are a great role model persisting through trials. Thank you for your inspiring example.
I just love that you made such a nice space for yourselves. You deserve to have that cozy space. Everything looks beautiful and the ladder you made is fantastic! Wonderful job once again!
Bless your heart! When it rains, it pours! I love the way you stayed calm, & showed grace to your child. I’m ashamed to say I don’t think I could have done that. You are a wonderful example of showing that accidents happen & stay calm. . I love the room & the chairs! 💕
Yup! I've been watching a lot of interior design videos lately and many different designers and all agree.... Grey is on its way out and natural everything is back and big. As I watched I was thinking you must have been watching the same videos! Your room looks gorgeous, timeless, yet bang on trend!
Looks great, Dawn. TOM ! LIGHT SWITCH solution - There are remote switches available! You change out the original switch to one with a receiver in it, and you mount another switch by the new door that communicates with the receiver switch - there is no new wiring involved! and both switches would operate the light.
I LOVE Lisa Holt!!! I recently discovered her channel as well. And, Dawn, I LOVE how you remain calm under pressure. You set such a good example for keeping things in perspective.
Your bedroom looks lovely, relaxing and a place of peace with calm. The colors lend to that feeling and I think the chairs are perfect for the room. Not sure why you feel uncomfortable with the color, I think it is perfect and at times when you might want to switch up pillows seasonally or whatever .......the colors of the chairs are perfect as they are not busy and won't conflict with changing up colors or throws from time to time. I think you did an excellent purchase. Don't feel guilty for the room you use or the things you get for yourself and husband as you raise your children or ever for that matter. You both work hard, our children almost never go without what they need growing up and it is very appropriate for spouses to do for each other. Often times it 's the only splurge we do for ourselves for years when raising our families and helping every one we can. You did an excellent job and I absolutely love what you did for the blanket ladder......absolutely darling and the colors are perfect. It is a very peaceful and calm/relaxing get away with no big distractions. Beautiful view out the windows!!! Love it! Blessings
The almost gallon of paint on new carpet 😳 oh man, I feel your pain! You could always get slipcovers for the chairs if you wanted a different colour. Enjoy your new bedroom! 😊❤️👍
Love the room and quiet space for you guys! Many years ago my toddler knocked over a cool whip container of paint in a room I was trimming. At first despair set in but then I immediately used our carpet steam cleaner and changed out the water over and over. Thankfully it all came out but I think I was lucky because I started before it had a chance to dry. Love how you tell a story on your videos and taking us along .
Love what you did with the room. Looks so calming and peaceful. I gasped when I saw the paint spill. You worked so hard cleaning up the mess and making a ladder yourself. The kids are so sweet. Enjoying all your videos. God bless.
I think the chairs are beautiful and elegant. The neutral color is smart because you can accent so many ways. I love the rock and swivel of them! So smart to have your room peaceful and quiet. These chairs will last 30 or more years. Good job!
Yes, and if she, or anyone in a similar situation, can't shake it off, let them rethink WHY it happened; it is always a good feeling/thought behind - like here wanting to help get them in before it rains and excitement that your parents get new comfortable chairs!
Wow Dawn! The bedroom is AWESOME!!! you did a awesome job and I would let you decorate my space time! You had a vision and it came together so well!!!!! The spilled paint was just part of the adventure of putting the room together, (spilled paint you will have the memory forever) it will mean something in years to come and you will laugh and smile about it!!! Hugs
Your room is PERFECT!! So peaceful and calm! LOVE your attitude about the spill, too! You are the eternal positive spirit! 🥰 Love your example in my life! Thank you for sharing the hard parts of life, too! You are teaching us how to not lose our stuff when things go haywire!! ❤️
I love the blanket ladder idea. The new chairs look great! So sorry about the paint. You were right to try to get it cleaned up. The same thing happened to us but not so much spilled. Good for you to keep going! Great example for the kids. It looks so beautiful and peaceful!!
It's not just you. This week has been a day of years for so many of us. BTW - your room looks great and the blanket ladder turned out really well. Good job!

I love your room and front porch oasis!!!
I just watched Tom’s video
Wow
I’m impressed he could even comment on the room before sleeping 10 hours
I LOVE 💗💗💗 the colors of the room and the chairs!!!!! You did great Dawn!🥰 Did you say and I missed it where your clothes are?
Have a beautiful and blessed weekend!💗
OH the longer I watch, spilled paint, OH MY MY MY....YIKES

Dawn it doesn’t look bland at all. It looks peaceful, comfortable and like a place you could rest and relax. Well done to you both 💜
Agreed. And colour can always be added in later if desired, with throws and cushions.
I like the pouf.

Laughed SO HARD at '...sit for hours and hours and talk about our feelings'
That's when I hit the thumbs up!😂
Yup! 😂😂😂
What is the time stamp on that ?
Me too! 😂

Hi Dawn, that spilled paint is just a personal touch to that room. Please don’t be mad about it ever, your daughter just wanted to help. You have such a great kids!
You did an amazing job on the latter and the chairs as well the rest of the room, as specially with such a limited timeframe.
You are such an inspiration. Thank you. It makes me get up and to something nice at my house. Yay.
My husband calls pillows stuffed animals for adults. You did a great job Dawn! And... you are such a good mom with such a calm response to the spilled paint. Good adulting.
Adult stuffed animals! That’s cute!
That is hilarious:
your husband views pillows as adult stuffed animals!
Hilarious, but true!
“Why do you keep talking down about my chair?” Lol! 👏🏼Dawn you did awesome! It looks so beautiful! 🥰
you live on the wild side Dawn- staining on kitchen counters, no tarp paint cans on carpet. whew! Sorry that happened but thanks for sharing it!
Paint stain on carpet=memories of the time y’all redid the bedroom while daddy was gone. It’s great.
I think my favorite part of this video was your daughter’s reaction the morning after the paint spill. Her saying, “I guess it isn’t the end of the world that the paint spilled...”.
That is SO mature and mentally healthy!!!!! I think she’s my hero!
I think that that Adeline is just precious
She’s such an amazing young woman. ☺️
Adeline, you are SO right!! You are such a mature, smart girl💕
Her mom’s handling of it probably helped!
“Which door?” 😂 2 years from now only the OGs will understand the reference when you make the joke. ❤️
"all that square footage just for us" - please remember you two are the pillars of your family!
Nice how the walls and curtains match, and I like the harmonious calmness of the chairs!
Lisa Holt would be proud!
And ya, only midwesterners and Canadians are extra frugal but it’s a good trait
The blanket ladders looks great and does bring the oak to the other side of the bed. Good call Dawn.
Dawn shouldn't feel bad about investing in American made quality chairs when Tom buys so many cars! 😂
I really love those chairs! The ladder is awesome 🤩 you should feel proud 💗
I like how your Master bedroom turned out. Especially the siting area. The ladder was a great idea

we knocked over like a half gallon of dark brown paint on beige carpet and did the same and it looked fine!
Oh no! That's definitely a heart sink to your knees feeling. Glad it came up.
The room looks so pretty! I love the earth tones. I can't believe how ambitious you are, you couldn't find a ladder, so you made one yourself! And it looks great, especially the way you dressed it up. Great job!

Looks super! Thank you for all your inspiration xx
I think the front door has lovely window panes that stand out distinctively partly because of the wood color.
Trust your instincts! I love what you’ve done to the bedroom! Adding pegs and a storage basket to your diy blanket ladder was genius!
I couldn't click on this video fast enough!!! I love the wall color and I'm pretty sure I need you to come to help me in my master bedroom!
Ohhh, that would be SO much fun!!!
Omigosh YES!! With Cass and Dana!!!
I love your room ! You deserve a calm oasis. I love all of it. The stain doesn’t show. It’s peaceful and serene. Well done.
I feel like I am watching a wholesome version of a soap opera. I can never wait to see what comes next! Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
I really like those chairs! I just wanted to cry for you when the paint spilled!! So glad you were able to clean it up enough to be able to live with it. I wasn't too sure about the blanket ladder but ended up loving it once it was styled. Kudos to you Dawn! You did a great job! 👏👏👏👏

I like how you are real. Positive. How you both pick yourselves up.
Your Mom was so sweet to come at 4 a.m. to stay with the kids❤️. Thankful Tom made it home safely. Sorry for all the issues and expenses on the Excursion. I think the room is lovely!!
Dawn: "You can move it towards the door a little bit more..."
Tom: "Which door?" 😂😂😂
When you were talking about the paint and were trying so hard not to be upset, my heart broke for you! I thought, “Man! I need to send Dawn a Marco to let her know everything is ok and let her talk it out.” Then I remembered...this is a RUclips video and I don’t actually know you in real life 😂 I hope that aside from the hiccups you love the result and it will be a wonderful place for you and Tom to relax!
You mean dawn and tom?
That room looks like heaven. My bedroom makes me anxious bc it’s become a catch all. This makes me want to clean everything out and go buy comfy chairs lol
I like the chairs, especially with the pillows and blanket on them. And the blanket ladder looks great! I love how you dressed it up with the hooks, etc.
You are the most remarkable family, DIY, son picking out the wood, Dawn cutting & staining... SRSLY??? Those tears to eyes again for sharing your most incredible down-to-earth life... thank you for sharing...💕🙏
I love ❤️ the chairs and I hope that brown might be coming back too! ❤️🙌✨ I love the calm and relaxing 😌 feel of it. People always say your bedroom should be your own personal oasis and I see that 😄
Brown is coming back ☺️
Watched yours and Tom's video. You were both tested to the limit during them both. The room looks lovely - so calm and restful. You both made it to the finishing line and deserve a well earned rest!
The master could NOT have turned out more beautifully!! WOW!! Gorgeous transformation! And I LOVE decorative pillows and my husband hates them, lol. He and Tom can relate!!
Great job Dawn! You made the grandma chairs look so stylish 😁 My dad was a professional painting contractor. If you ever have a paint spill again, water and a shop vac is all you need. Keep dumping more water on and sucking it up until it’s clean and put a fan on it to dry it out. I’ve seen this method work with a five gallon bucket of paint that got knocked over.
Dawn, you handled the spilled paint episode with so much poise and grace. I'm sure Adeline was devastated when she accidentally knocked over the paint. It's hard enough being a tween girl without having something like that happen. I felt bad for her. Your room turned out beautifully, and the comfy chairs (with pillows) are the perfect touch! I like the idea that several people have suggested by camouflaging the outside door with a curtain and possibly painting it.
I agree. Handled it so well. It was just an accident.
Enjoyed every single moment of this video! Your problems and Tom's kinda mirrored each other--a terrible 24 hours of issue after issue and problem-solving. I watched Tom's video before this one and hands down you won!! So happy he got home safely and hope to hear more about the Excursion. Love to your whole family!
Swap out the dark color on the entry door to something much lighter like to match the other doors in the room or paint it gray. It sticks out like a sore thumb. I think that alone would make a huge difference to the room. That dark color draws your eye there first. Easy fix.
Yeah I was thinking the same !
I disagree. I love the contrast in such a monotone room. Love the texture Dawn
I was thinking the same thing. Use the wall paint color on the inside of the front door. It’ will blend in better to the room .
Love the stain doors , they turned out nicely! The chairs, curtains. Pillow n decorative throw blanket , great idea. Curtains also great choice. Window trim nicely done. The light fixtures (ceiling fan/light kit) & the one over the bed very nicely done. . Just a reminder take a photo of paint labels n stored for future I case of matching colors . Later in year or so. Great job!!
Looks great! I don't mind the brown chairs. The blanket ladder was a great idea, much better balance than the mirror.
Great idea! It would blend in really well if the front door was the same as the walls.
nice earrings! yes - I always notice your earrings! :) (...."sit in here for hours & hours & talk about our feelings"..... ! hahaha! :D ) The chairs are lovely! The blanket ladder looks great. Love the curtains! Bummer about the carpet. Love how the room turned out! Love your "reality show"! That's why we're here - to join you in the reality of life! :)
It is SO adorable how many times you ask if Tom likes the chairs. You did great. That pattern is timeless and they look grear
1. I LOVE the chairs.
2. Give Tom a huge hug. He needs it.
3. It may be time to get rid of the car.
4. Thank you for sharing your lives with us.
Blessings!
I like the blanket ladder beside the bed so much better that the mirror in that spot. Good work! I was honestly more worried about Tom flying/driving/getting back more than anything (even paint spill). You have such a sweet house & wonderful family! Thanks!!! :D
LOL he will be thankful when he gets home and doesn’t have to help you with it. safe travels. Okay, I finally was able to watch the entire video and his trip popped up in my feed... you both have had a rough week I hope the next one is much easier. the room looks beautiful.
I really like the ladder. It balances out great with the door. Everything looks really nice.
I like the chairs. To me from a minimal point of view, they’re perfect. The brown and the gray looks good too because nothing is too dark. It looks so relaxing.
I always love to see what a patient mom you are with your kids. Always an inspiration!
Well the bedroom looks ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC Dawn, you've done BRILLIANTLY!!!!!!!
The room looks cozy and isn't that what we all want at the end of the day?
Literally...at the end of the day! 😂
The room looks GREAT!!! I live in a small house and have gone with neutral colors for years. It is cohesive, but more importantly it is very calming. Good job Dawn! The chairs look great and you DESERVE to buy them, you're a hard working couple! The room is awesome, I hope you enjoy your sanctuary!
Mixing earthtones with the grays is "all the rage" now LOL. Looks great!!
Ok, good!!! Thank you!
@@TheMinimalMom If in doubt, just check the Pottery Barn or Birch Lane websites. Your addition of the bits of greenery were perfect as well! Have a great weekend!
The room is gorgeous,don’t worry about the brown chairs,they’re awesome,I actually love brown with gray,that’s what my living room color is,the neutral colors are very soothing,enjoy,u deserve it!!
Those chairs are fabulous!!!! I love what you did with your room! It's sooooo peaceful, inviting and calm. Enjoy the fruits of your labor, you deserve it!
I LOVE the brown chairs! They add warmth to the space and the way you placed them in front of the window... if it were me, I'd be sitting there rocking and swiveling and enjoying the view as much as I could! I also loved the bright pop of green in the plant between the chairs. Super inviting space to sit. You were a champ about the paint spill. Such a great example of going with the flow and keeping things in perspective. The whole space is a beautiful makeover and you guys deserve a peaceful room for yourselves. Enjoy!
I have to admit, when Tom was installing the carpet, my first thought was "why install carpet before painting"? So heartbreaking!
Yes, seems strange that you would install new carpet,...then paint!
Sometimes it scratches up the wall trying to install carpet, so some people do it first
🙄feeling dramatic? Paint isn't that messy unless you are having little tiny kids do it that just slop it around
You could tell that it drained Dawn’s excitement about decorating the space. Her happiness erosion was in full swing after that paint spill. You could tell it had leeched into her feelings about the chairs and ladder. I hope as time passes and the accident on the carpet is less fresh in her mind that she will begin to love what she created a bit more ❤️
@@natalieeubank4533 ...well...some of us have different experiences. I do not have to have the help of little tiny kids to get paint everywhere. I can take my time, be as careful as possible, and very meticulous...but I'm not the most coordinated individual. If there are no kids at all in my house, I'm still not laying carpet before I paint!
I like it. It's nice to wake up facing a nice clean and clear space. That's the biggest minimalist change I made to my house, to keep the view from my bed clutter free so that I could wake feeling peaceful. It's nice to have a grown-up space in your home so don't feel the guilt. Also the chairs are good solid grown up pieces, but I feel you on the guilt of buying brand new, when you're not used to that it doesn't feel right. My heart was in my throat when I saw the paint spill! At least you'd planned for the chairs to go there. You'll have to show us how well it cleaned up when it dried.
The room is BEAUTIFUL!! You did GREAT!! Can't wait to see Tom's adventures too!! ❤❤
I have started painting my trim white that was stained a dark tone. I absolutely love it. It makes such a big difference. Your bedroom looks great.
I like the brown chairs a lot! They look modern-cozy to me.
I agree with the blanket ladder next to the bed. The mirror reflected the front door and you already have 3 doors! The chairs look great - not dark at all - and the the paint spill has happened to many of us....
Aww, the room looks awesome Dawn! Love all the neutral textures. Such a nice space to retreat to.
I say don’t downplay your new awesome chairs. The new chairs don’t distract from the beautiful view! You are a great role model persisting through trials. Thank you for your inspiring example.
I just love that you made such a nice space for yourselves. You deserve to have that cozy space. Everything looks beautiful and the ladder you made is fantastic! Wonderful job once again!
Bless your heart! When it rains, it pours! I love the way you stayed calm, & showed grace to your child. I’m ashamed to say I don’t think I could have done that. You are a wonderful example of showing that accidents happen & stay calm. . I love the room & the chairs! 💕
Well now we know that Tom made it. This looks super nice. My heart went into my throat when I saw the paint spill. You did good Dawn❤️❤️
Yup! I've been watching a lot of interior design videos lately and many different designers and all agree.... Grey is on its way out and natural everything is back and big. As I watched I was thinking you must have been watching the same videos! Your room looks gorgeous, timeless, yet bang on trend!
I so admire your ability to remain calm regarding the paint spill. I would have muttering expletives in multiple languages.
I really love the coziness of chairs and the room
You guys are always a joy and encouragement to watch. God bless you and your family!!!:)
"Sit for hours and hours and talk about our feelings"...You are so funny!!!! Love your videos!!!!
Looks great, Dawn. TOM ! LIGHT SWITCH solution - There are remote switches available! You change out the original switch to one with a receiver in it, and you mount another switch by the new door that communicates with the receiver switch - there is no new wiring involved! and both switches would operate the light.
I LOVE Lisa Holt!!! I recently discovered her channel as well. And, Dawn, I LOVE how you remain calm under pressure. You set such a good example for keeping things in perspective.
I love the room! You guys created a perfect oasis! You both persevered through the trials of the week. You make me proud of you!
Your bedroom looks lovely, relaxing and a place of peace with calm. The colors lend to that feeling and I think the chairs are perfect for the room. Not sure why you feel uncomfortable with the color, I think it is perfect and at times when you might want to switch up pillows seasonally or whatever .......the colors of the chairs are perfect as they are not busy and won't conflict with changing up colors or throws from time to time. I think you did an excellent purchase. Don't feel guilty for the room you use or the things you get for yourself and husband as you raise your children or ever for that matter. You both work hard, our children almost never go without what they need growing up and it is very appropriate for spouses to do for each other. Often times it 's the only splurge we do for ourselves for years when raising our families and helping every one we can. You did an excellent job and I absolutely love what you did for the blanket ladder......absolutely darling and the colors are perfect. It is a very peaceful and calm/relaxing get away with no big distractions. Beautiful view out the windows!!! Love it!
Blessings
The almost gallon of paint on new carpet 😳 oh man, I feel your pain! You could always get slipcovers for the chairs if you wanted a different colour. Enjoy your new bedroom! 😊❤️👍
Love the room and quiet space for you guys! Many years ago my toddler knocked over a cool whip container of paint in a room I was trimming. At first despair set in but then I immediately used our carpet steam cleaner and changed out the water over and over. Thankfully it all came out but I think I was lucky because I started before it had a chance to dry. Love how you tell a story on your videos and taking us along .
I love the bedroom!! Monochromatic with texture is great, the ladder turned out great with the light over the center of the bed! Grownup now!!
Love what you did with the room. Looks so calming and peaceful. I gasped when I saw the paint spill. You worked so hard cleaning up the mess and making a ladder yourself. The kids are so sweet. Enjoying all your videos. God bless.
I think those chairs are great & will age well! You created a really beautiful and calming space, Dawn ☺️
I think the chairs are beautiful and elegant. The neutral color is smart because you can accent so many ways. I love the rock and swivel of them! So smart to have your room peaceful and quiet. These chairs will last 30 or more years. Good job!
Aw, seeing the paint on the floor made my heart hurt for you! I would have lost it! I am also feeling for Adeline, she must have felt horrible.
Yes, and if she, or anyone in a similar situation, can't shake it off, let them rethink WHY it happened; it is always a good feeling/thought behind - like here wanting to help get them in before it rains and excitement that your parents get new comfortable chairs!
so true, I hope she is not too hard on herself!
Wow Dawn! The bedroom is AWESOME!!! you did a awesome job and I would let you decorate my space time! You had a vision and it came together so well!!!!! The spilled paint was just part of the adventure of putting the room together, (spilled paint you will have the memory forever) it will mean something in years to come and you will laugh and smile about it!!! Hugs
You did a great job decorating this room. Every parent and every couple need an adult space, free from children.
Your room is PERFECT!! So peaceful and calm! LOVE your attitude about the spill, too! You are the eternal positive spirit! 🥰 Love your example in my life! Thank you for sharing the hard parts of life, too! You are teaching us how to not lose our stuff when things go haywire!! ❤️
Which door???? I LAUGHED OUTLOUD!!! I love watching you all!!! Glad you made it home safe and sound Tom!!
I love the blanket ladder idea. The new chairs look great! So sorry about the paint. You were right to try to get it cleaned up. The same thing happened to us but not so much spilled. Good for you to keep going! Great example for the kids. It looks so beautiful and peaceful!!
It's not just you. This week has been a day of years for so many of us. BTW - your room looks great and the blanket ladder turned out really well. Good job!
