Carol Weinberg I find it funny that you took your time to type all this out lmao you should worry about yourself. Let others do whatever they want with their life. ❤️
What I love about Drew is while he could probably afford to be more extravagant/indulgent, he still always finds things to DIY or reuse, or goes for accessible and affordable options! This makes him both inspiring and relatable! I watch his videos and think- wow, I could make my spaces look that good too!
Loved that you showed the entire process of the transformation, like swapping things out and second-guessing your decisions-it’s a good reminder that these things don’t just come together perfectly or instantly! Loved the final result, as always!
I love it. Just a little advice.. about the coffee table, I think the reason why it's not feeling perfect is because there is to much rectangle shapes. The windows,couch, pictures frames, pillows,TV are all squares or rectangles The coffee table needs to be an odd shape. And then I like you would love it much more. I'm thinking like a soft triangle shape with round edges,like u had it one of ur past videos, I think it would make a huge difference. But regardless its stunning n as long as ur happy that's all that matters. Xox
OMG yes! That would be the perfect solution for it. I knew I didn't like the wooden coffee table in the space but I didn't know why, I thought it was the size of it. It it was definitely the shape.
I've been obsessed with painting my window frames black for years but I was in an apartment but now that I'm finally in a place where I can paint and decorate again (oh, how I missed having a place that was my own!) I remember thinking, "oh, the first thing I'm doing is painting the windows black and they're gonna look so elegant.." but, these are not that kind of window at all. This place was built in 96 (by some people that really didn't give a damn but that's another story) & these windows are the double hung type (I think that's what its called) with one vinyl grid in between two pieces of glass to give the appearance of window panes. The only good thing is how easy it is to clean them as they tilt in but I would love to at least pull the grid out for just a solid glass window but it's they don't come out. What i love about the black paint with your windows is the way they look with the vertical opening ... almost like French doors. It's a great look and so chic. It's got a European look to me (like I would know) and it was absolutely the right decision. I just love all you've done. That was a tough call with the sideboard because you made the other one but you made it work. I swear I see a new sideboard or more chairs I want every day but I really purged this time and I'm trying to be good because it's such a great feeling when everything is well thought out and deliberate in every way to create your own little paradise. Your dance wasn't over the top. It was exactly what you should be feeling. Your vision was coming alive and that's awesome. I can't wait to go see all of your videos of how this came to be. I haven't been able to escape popcorn ceilings and I'm hoping you were able to go over them for that look because it's fantastic and I'm not about to scrape popcorn... no way. I've heard nightmares. Thanks for your enthusiasm and sorry this was so long but I shut to do like 6 things I've seen before the days up. 😆
I was surprised at red rug as there is so much brown in the floor and sofa and console already. It works well but I couldn't explain why. I'll have to look at the vid again where you show a similar design that inspired you.
I love how you painted the windows black, makes such a difference. I just purchased a 150+ year old stone cottage in France (about 2.5 hours south of Paris) and I have a large collection of antiques. I'm planning on moving in around the first of the year and wanted to find ways to add pops of modern to go with the rustic wooden beams, stone, antiques, etc. Painting the windows will make such a difference in the space, so thank you so much for the idea. I can't wait to try it out. Also....I just found your channel this morning and have literally just watched six videos back-to-back. Love your style.
This looks great! However, I would love to see you do either a digital or sketched version of how you would have made it work with the furniture you already had. Most of us at home trying to do room makeovers don’t have the option of just replacing every single piece of furniture in a room. So, if you were stuck with your old couch, your old coffee table, and the media console you made, what would you have done?
@@merrinatrix there's also couch covers that you can buy that are made to fit over ikea/article couches, would have been more cost effective to do that rather than buy a whole new couch
Wow I never knew you have so much going on with a store, a blog, videos- you're so productive! Go you, hard work is clearly paying off this space looks amazing!!
I think this is the best room yet. I love how you incorporated your highs and lows and frustrations so we see its not always easy. I really love everything, so well put together the entire room is my favorite.
I think it would be easier for most of us if a high-end furniture company was willing to donate whatever furniture we wanted to make it happen. I love Drew, this room is beautiful, and his taste is exquisite, which is what ultimately brought everything together, but this definitely felt like his most privileged/inaccessible video yet. Like this is the first time I watched a Lone Fox video and thought “Welp, I definitely can’t make this happen.”
@@pirargy now i cannot dispute the facts you are speaking. However, as you said he still brought the vision together. This is definitely higher end and you would have to be a bit creative to find similar dupes.
yes, it has taken me 3 months to design my living room. When I move to another house, I will definitely pay an interior designer. It just takes so long to find the right pieces. I have returned 3 coffee tables, etc..
I'm glad you changed out the coffee table. I kept thinking "hmm., leaving that might be a mistake..." I think you could go with a round one later if you wanted. The basket one was probably inexpensive, so if someday you fall in love with something else, it's not a big deal to change out. That is a GORGEOUS room.
This is amazing! Quick tip when you're hanging curtain rings 12:55. Hang one ring on the OUTSIDE of the support so it sits next to the finial which is the screw in part at the end. This makes your curtains look like there is more fabric to cover the rods, makes the overall look more finished, and best of all when you're closing the curtains they never pull away from the sides so you never have to go back and futz with them. You can dramatically sweep your curtains closed - voila! - and the ends will stay in place. It's fantastic. Also I'm going to go paint all my window frames black now thank you. Between you and McKenna I'm convinced!
I actually really love the way the sideboard looks in the dining room. It fits perfectly and helps lighten things up in there just a bit. Glad you painted the window trim too. I loved it when Makenna did it in her place, and it looks just as good in yours.
Black media console stuck out like a sore thumb. Dining room was the perfect place for it! New brown one is gorgeous. Lucky barber to get a leather couch!! Hope you traded for haircuts. Using a woven chest for a coffee table is not practical. How do you put a drink on it without it toppling over? Again, function must be considered. I use an antique chest and put a recycled glass top (from thrift shop) on it. Works great. The chest doubles as storage so don't access much; can simply lift the glass. The basket you use next to the woven coffee table serves no purpose. A smaller cube would be more functional as a movable, usable surface. LOVE the mirror over the mantle! So glad you hung it. The trend of leaning objects against walls mars the paint on walls. A senseless trend. The tall cane front cabinet looks fine! Agree a trailing plant would make it even better. Congratulations! Another beautiful room.
Drew, when you hang curtains with rings allow one ring closest to the finial to rest on the outside of the bracket. It will prevent the outside edge of the curtain from being pulled to the center when you pull your curtains closed. The curtain bracket will stop it from moving.
Looks great! A good DIYer can look at his colors, shapes, set ups and mimic his style even if you don’t have the same name brand. He is sharing his visions of ways things can look. That is why Drew has a flourishing channel and viewers of all ages. I’m 60 and love him. He has worked hard to get his sponsors
Pray this prayer to be saved plz, Dear God I know I am a sinner but I believe Jesus died for my sins, I repent of my sins, I accept Jesus as my personal lord and savior in Jesus name AMEN!
I absolutely love Drew’s style! But I find the pace and pitch of his voice too frenetic to be relaxing. I have to either switch the playback speed to .75 or turn the sound off completely. But I do love looking at his aesthetic!
I think you are amazingly creative, down to earth and so humble. You have a way with us, your subscribers, explaining things in a way that just resonates without being pushed. So rare. Well done!
Thank you so much for watching today’s video! Don’t forget to also check out my second exclusive upload today - ruclips.net/video/QMmVugU356I/видео.html *UPDATE* I forgot to mention in the video that I use the fireplace mantle to film all my DIY projects + shoot all the products on my website. This was another HUGE reason why I didn't mount the TV above the fireplace. I honestly use that mantle daily!
Just stunning ! I have a James Charles too in my life , my millionaire brother in Law, who changes decor all the time. Do want my old stuff ?? Hell yeah, I'll be right over !! Score 😁
I really liked the makeover, it looks so inviting and warm in the living room. I still can't believe how good the black windows look. I wish though, you would've/could've done a version of the makeover with the couch and tv stand you already had. Like make it work. It's much more relatable to change out a couple pieces then being gifted all new furniture.
Same !!!!! My favorite was the dining room because I just love Chantilly lace White and the navy blue it just it's so me but this room I think is my favorite I literally want to replicate it into a house when I have my own house one day this is so beautiful oh my gosh Drew do it again and again and again in different rooms oh my gosh I'm going crazy this is just this makes me so happy
I'm OBSESSED with this! Putting the DIY console in the dining room was genius and the console from Aricle looks AMAZING undrthe TV! Also..the black around the windows is AMAZING as well! Great job!😍😍😍
That’s great that you got your Article items within a week bc you’re an influencer. I, however, have been waiting for an ottoman I purchased back in June. The arrival date has been pushed back three times. Going on 4 MONTHS without the item I already paid for.
Sometimes I can’t help but feel so envious of influencers receiving these furniture pieces for free because i’m currently living with a very broken couch and i’ve been saving for almost 1.5 years to replace it.
I'm over the fully article furnished videos. I'm not even finishing this video because of it tbh. Just so unrelatable. article is NOT affordable and to hear they don't even have good CS?? Fuck it. Give me literally any other brand at this point.
Agree about pooling curtains looking great. But if the fabric is not washable those bottoms are going to get pretty dirty fast...then what? I bought linen look curtains from Target that are not washable so made the sensible choice not to hang them long. Sometimes function is more important than form.
@@seagal-1 usually when they say not washable they mean washing machine. You can hand wash them and be as gentle as possible and use dye free soaps and stuff (and cold water to help not set stains) then let them air dry if you really want the look. Also, unless you have pets or live in a super dusty area, if you vacuum your house every week your curtains shouldn't be getting that dirty.
I love how you roll with the punches with figuring out what works and what doesn’t! I get so discouraged when I buy something and I just feel like it doesn’t work and don’t quite know how to fix it. I enjoy hearing your thoughts on how to solve certain issues!
LOOOOVE the black window trim!!! I loved it when MaCenna and I love that you got inspo from her! I feel like a round coffee table would be so perfect in the space and enhance the cozy vibes of that amazing sectional, but the basket is super cute too and functional. And the top of that bookcase would be the perfect spot for a beautiful trailing plant. Heart eyes at everything!
This is EXACTLY what I want to learn to do. I don't want something too trendy with all the farmhouse/shabby chic stuff that will look outdated by the time I can afford to pull together a room. I love the timelessness of the classy earthy eclectic with a bit of vintage and good artsy vibe. I don't even know what to call it. But THAT'S the kind of style I want to achieve. It looks like a lifetime of collecting art and great pieces but still current. I'm going to keep watching and hope I can pull it off!
I recon it is so good that....you should check with him or her the land lord before you go,back to the original.... they may like what you’ve done and want it to stay!
@@sandygraetz5166 It's not up to the landlord (one word not two) whether or not this apt stays as is once he moves out. it's up to what the next tenant wants. who knows if the black frame industrial vibe will be in 2 years from now? just like the popcorn ceilings were removed when he moved in - - the landlord would've been just fine leaving the ceilings as is. property owners don't wanna spend any extra montee if they don't have to.
What landlord would ever ask Drew to reverse any of the changes he made? We’ve done a lot of changes to our apartment inspired by Drew and our landlords are tickled at the work we’ve done! Haha!
Very nice! I couldn’t believe you placed your sofa with its back to the fireplace. However I don’t know how you would have achieved such a wonderful design without doing it. Clearly the tv was the focal point. Someone already mentioned sliding over one of the curtain rings outside of the supporting hardware-please do that. It would look better. Glad I found you. I was looking for a refresh of my home and you’ve given me the push to do it. BTW I’ll be 70 in June (a young 70) but I’m still open to new Ideas. I love the black framed windows and I love your enthusiasm!
Love the room truly, but I just can’t feel the coffee table. I think something, maybe Scandinavian?, or a vintage trunk? And maybe something in the lower half of the fireplace. Something painted on or mural? Live with it all and you will figure it out. Beautiful room.
Deborah Streb I agree about the coffee table, I think a round coffee table would be nice since everything else is square or rectangle except the accessories.
I had a big rectangular coffee table. It was awkward to walk round and took up a lot of room. After living with it for a year, I swapped it out for 2 round tables (1 fits under the other) Best decision I've made. Looks so good, everyone loves it, no banging legs against the corners and still enough surface space on the tables. 😁
okay, I was low-key nervous when he said he wasn't digging the vibe from the console he built (and that brought him so much joy) and I was so happy to see it in its new home in the dining room, where it fits in like it always knew that's where its home was... #sogood. Great job Drew.
I’m English but I’ve lived in Spain for over twenty years. In England most rooms are placed with the fireplace as the focal point. In Spain my fires are wood burners so I’ve continued to place the furniture with the fire as the focal point. I love your make over and as always you do an amazing job and it looks right for the room. Love the black frames and the layout looks so cosy. You have a magical touch. Well done once again. 😘xx
I absolutely love your videos! You are incredibly talented. I love the way you eventually decided to: split up sectional sofa - so polished, painted the fireplace black and finally the piece of furniture that you eventually built and placed on the left hand side of fireplace against wall was so art deco and chic!!!!
It looks amazing!! Would be fun to see some books or logs inside the fireplace! And I think you could get away with some crazy sculptural vintage or stone coffee table, too!!
I know you'll get your Netflix show soon Drew! I was hoping Studio McGee would get one and they did which I'm so excited for. But there's such a gap in the market for what you do - stunning interior design on a budget with houses that most of us actually live in (rather than the beautiful but completely aspiration McGee projects). This makeover is just stunning - you keep outdoing yourself with every makeover video. Will you be doing anymore virtual makeovers? My living room/ diner is 50% done but I'm stuck on how to make it cosy/ fill the walls. Would love some tips.
This room literally looks like it should be in a magazine. The structure of the room, walls, windows, and the colors - breathtaking! I love the window/wall contrast. I also think the old buffet/tv stand in the dining room is amazing.
Yes, personally... I thought an irregular ovalish shaped coffee table with a white marble style table top would be nice there. I feel the space is too boxy.
Oh and I love all the textures too. I do like the wicker trunk that you painted black but I might have gone with an oval brass and glass coffee table. No criticism here, just a thought. It’s warm and beautiful. I absolutely LOVE the bits I’ve seen of the dining room and love where you tucked your black console. This is the only second video of yours I’ve seen. I’ve been following XO, Mackenna and just heard about you from her. I’m a 60 yo interior decorator and children’s author with insomnia so I watch y’all’s videos at night. Great job! The stairway going up to your apartment is FABULOUS!!
I'M SO EXCITED, I LIKED BEFORE WATCHING IT CAUSE I KNOW IT'S GONNA BE LITTTTTT. That intro thooo, it's soooo cute and beautiful. Fall is the best season for Lone Fox.
Love the windows! I’d really like to see a video about styling personal photos of family etc. Sometimes it can look cheesy/ garish so some advice on this would be awesome 👏🏼 love you Drew!
I love adding personal touches of family photos. There are so many cute frame options at Target, World Market, CB2 etc. I think if you select an appropriate frame, it's not cheesy at all! You can also reprint all the photos in black and white for a fun vintage element!
I love that couch!! I think maybe a round ottoman coffee table to break up some of the sharp edges in your living would work a little better than that rattan one.
It does look great but my opinion would be to add another curtain in the middle of the large window and add 3 dark brown items to your beige book case.
While I absolutely understand trading furniture etc. for the exposure/advertising it brings to the company, it does make it difficult if someone wants to create a similar style but cannot afford such a high end purchase. Perhaps for at least a few areas of the room you could give diy options for a similar look. Couch slipcovers for example. Just a thought.
I loved that you didn’t totally know what you were doing and hearing your thought process as you figured it out! It looks beautiful, thanks for sharing!!
OBSESSED!!! I am completely obsessed with Drew's vision when it comes to home interior decorating. I have been waiting for several episodes to pile up just so I can binge on all things Lone Fox in his new digs. This living room is EH-VER-EE-THING!!! (I would love to know what his landlord thinks.) I also LOVE the website!! It's so clean, well thought out, and easy to tool around in. I am not a DIY'er. I get such anxiety even thinking about painting or making a mistake. I just live vicariously thru Drew and watch the final amazing results. I am so glad he is using his gift to make the world just a little bit better.
Oh my gosh, your new place is STUNNING! so much character with those gorgeous push out windows, the fireplace and ceiling, the beautiful view out the window with mature trees and the wrought iron fencing. 😍😍 We live in a builder grade sort of home and while it's perfect for us, I crave adding character like this to it!! Would love to see a video on easy ways to add craftsman character to builder grade/basic homes!
Wow! Just WOW! That black trim with the crisp white walls and curtains is simply stunning. I really appreciate that you went with the more muted tone rug, makes it look so cosy and inviting. Great choice to bring in more black. I think you are simply adorable, and so talented! I love watching you, you’re sweet, goofy nature always makes me giggle. THAT DANCE!! Teeheehee🤗! You seriously need your own main stream DIY show!
Honey I've been waiting on my article sofa for months. Supposed to be here mid october. I got the Nirvana in cognac. Yay. I'm also painting my wall of bookcases black and the walls white. I'm excited. Article didnt care at all that I was redoing my living room. I paid big. 🙄🤣🤣🤣🤣 And now I'm too broke to do much more for my room. Now I see why stuff is so expensive. All the youtubers getting "gifted" $3000 pieces. Good for you, though. I dont have the balls to start a channel. It's crazy how similar my taste is to yours. Like, out of everyone I watch.....I get the most from you.
Me too, I'm waiting on my couch for 2 months lol they are fast to deliver to RUclipsrs so they can get on the videos obviously. And I'm also broke here. My living room is basically done with creative wall painting and plants, then the sofa when it arrives.
Its a lot cheaper for them to gift LoneFox a £3000 sofa than to pay for traditional adverts, so dont worry - your room will look lovely and not be any more expensive than it should!
I would’ve used the article stand in the dining area where the DIY rattan and black one is. The black and dark blue clash. The rattan tv stand also would have pulled in the diy storage cabinet in the living room since it has the same cane. Either way it turned out beautiful!!
i think the article one looks better in the living room but he should put the DIY'd one in the little sun room off the dining room or maybe in his room- its beautiful but it does clash with the dark blue walls
WOW!!!! Ok so like, at first when I seen you paint the window frame black, I was like no way. But afterwards I was very impressed. You will be great through life with your style of decorating skills. Good job. It looks like a picture in a magazine.
stunning as always drew! but i think the living room has so many corner elements to it, almost everything is rectangle and square. maybe a roundish coffee table?
I like all of it! Especially the windows. I think your design dilemma with coffee table could be solved with a round table, that's back or a deeper blueish color or something from the rug. I'm honestly love listening to you talk about your ideas and if you change your mind. It's so valuable. Love you and loving your content 💖
LOVE LOVE LOVE!! It's so welcoming. The only thing I'd add is dangling greenery plants at the top of the book case you made. Am I crazy? When you revealed the room I thought that was missing. Just a thought. My favorite is EVERYTHING!!! Awesome makeover!! Congrats.
Magical. Love the white. Nothing says fresh like a beautiful white. I love all your choices. If it was my room I would consider deeper rug color of maybe blue, Navy? I love the rug you chose. It’s just similar to the floor. You are very inspiring with an amazing eye. That is such a new modern classic style.
This is one of my favourite video that you have posted! I can see all the process of thinking and trying different matches. Every change, I have the same thoughts as you when I was watching the video.
Your landlord is awesome for letting you paint the window trim. I love it all. The only thing I would do different is get a bigger lamp or elevevate the one that it next to the sofa. The scale looks off to me.
Coffee table did not seem too small for the room. I love how you just take a can of black spray paint to everything and elevate it!
YASSSS for black trim windows!!! The makeover is SO GOOD!!!!! 😘😘😘
Yass was literally my comment as soon as I saw the video was uploaded🙌🏻🙌🏻😂
Thank you MACENNA!! Miss you!

I think you should have a Netflix series-decorating real people homes on a budget and with thrift items-I actually can’t wait to watch it 😁❤️
Think a RUclips mini series wis good too!
This would be amazing!!
I agree
That would be epic!
My house is available for season 1!
What I love about Drew is while he could probably afford to be more extravagant/indulgent, he still always finds things to DIY or reuse, or goes for accessible and affordable options! This makes him both inspiring and relatable! I watch his videos and think- wow, I could make my spaces look that good too!
Aw thank you!!
Expensive doesn't necessarily better!
I feel the same way! Styling for my small budget with Drew keeps it real & financially reasonable.
Loved that you showed the entire process of the transformation, like swapping things out and second-guessing your decisions-it’s a good reminder that these things don’t just come together perfectly or instantly! Loved the final result, as always!
Love the way the buffet table fit in under the bookshelves. Looks like it was made for it. Beautiful Living room makeover.

Some round object on that table would've defused all that squareness
@@Tonyredbone a faux (or real haha) triangle Noguchi would look so good
OMG yes! That would be the perfect solution for it. I knew I didn't like the wooden coffee table in the space but I didn't know why, I thought it was the size of it. It it was definitely the shape.
I was thinking he should’ve tried a glass coffee table
Agreed. Also should not be all wood, it's very wood heavy. I would go with oval, glass top or marble, metal base, organic shape.
painting the windows made such a huge difference. Love the room congrats
Momma From Scratch is here too! Dang lol I love this channel.
it came out fantastic!

Love the black Windows! I think you should do someting about the fireplace, it is so white. Maybe a different color on the mantelpiece or inside?
I loved this! I would switch out the knobs on the Billy bookcase DIY for black ones or something with black accents to help tie it in even more!
Drew you have to film your landlords reaction to your completed apartment! this is stunning!!!

I kept thinking his DIY would be dying or staining the couch to provide more contrast.
this would be amazing!
@@merrinatrix there's also couch covers that you can buy that are made to fit over ikea/article couches, would have been more cost effective to do that rather than buy a whole new couch
I think the tan timber couch is awesome and would have been fine on a rug
I would also have appreciated this perspective.

Well, he said the issue was that it was the same brown tone, and the new couch is a completely different brown tone. Much darker.
🤣🤣
@@jlammetje Yes he didn't like the orangey brown tone of the original couch

This is amazing! Quick tip when you're hanging curtain rings 12:55. Hang one ring on the OUTSIDE of the support so it sits next to the finial which is the screw in part at the end. This makes your curtains look like there is more fabric to cover the rods, makes the overall look more finished, and best of all when you're closing the curtains they never pull away from the sides so you never have to go back and futz with them. You can dramatically sweep your curtains closed - voila! - and the ends will stay in place. It's fantastic. Also I'm going to go paint all my window frames black now thank you. Between you and McKenna I'm convinced!
I actually really love the way the sideboard looks in the dining room. It fits perfectly and helps lighten things up in there just a bit. Glad you painted the window trim too. I loved it when Makenna did it in her place, and it looks just as good in yours.
Add a trailing plant on the tall cane cabinet! I feel like that would help distract from the light wood as well
Yes this!! 🪴🌿
yeah not loving that cane cabinet in that space at all.
Black media console stuck out like a sore thumb. Dining room was the perfect place for it! New brown one is gorgeous. Lucky barber to get a leather couch!! Hope you traded for haircuts. Using a woven chest for a coffee table is not practical. How do you put a drink on it without it toppling over? Again, function must be considered. I use an antique chest and put a recycled glass top (from thrift shop) on it. Works great. The chest doubles as storage so don't access much; can simply lift the glass. The basket you use next to the woven coffee table serves no purpose. A smaller cube would be more functional as a movable, usable surface. LOVE the mirror over the mantle! So glad you hung it. The trend of leaning objects against walls mars the paint on walls. A senseless trend. The tall cane front cabinet looks fine! Agree a trailing plant would make it even better. Congratulations! Another beautiful room.
Drew, when you hang curtains with rings allow one ring closest to the finial to rest on the outside of the bracket. It will prevent the outside edge of the curtain from being pulled to the center when you pull your curtains closed. The curtain bracket will stop it from moving.
Thanks for the tip.
That’s so funny, I do the same.
Yes 👍
Good advice! Never thought of that, thanks for sharing.
Looks great! A good DIYer can look at his colors, shapes, set ups and mimic his style even if you don’t have the same name brand. He is sharing his visions of ways things can look. That is why Drew has a flourishing channel and viewers of all ages. I’m 60 and love him. He has worked hard to get his sponsors
can we talk about how relaxing your voice is?
like you seem to have so much passion and its super motivational
Pray this prayer to be saved plz, Dear God I know I am a sinner but I believe Jesus died for my sins, I repent of my sins, I accept Jesus as my personal lord and savior in Jesus name AMEN!
I absolutely love Drew’s style! But I find the pace and pitch of his voice too frenetic to be relaxing. I have to either switch the playback speed to .75 or turn the sound off completely. But I do love looking at his aesthetic!
Him laying one the couch is such a mood
This so inspired me to paint my window trim black!
Love it!!
Sameeeee!!
same x3
I think you are amazingly creative, down to earth and so humble. You have a way with us, your subscribers, explaining things in a way that just resonates without being pushed. So rare. Well done!
T.V. mounter, yay! Every victory counts!! I love the DIY console and it goes so well in the dining/shelving nook. ♥️
Thank you!!
Thank you so much for watching today’s video! Don’t forget to also check out my second exclusive upload today - ruclips.net/video/QMmVugU356I/видео.html
*UPDATE* I forgot to mention in the video that I use the fireplace mantle to film all my DIY projects + shoot all the products on my website. This was another HUGE reason why I didn't mount the TV above the fireplace. I honestly use that mantle daily!
In the last video I said that just balance the brown a little bit and idk if you read but u did ,loved the best room of your house !! :)
How can you show the outside? Blur it out before is too late!!
Just stunning ! I have a James Charles too in my life , my millionaire brother in Law, who changes decor all the time. Do want my old stuff ?? Hell yeah, I'll be right over !! Score 😁
Loved ecerything
Hi! This is awesome. What paint color did you use for the built-in unit in the dining space? The dark rich blue? Thank you!
I really liked the makeover, it looks so inviting and warm in the living room. I still can't believe how good the black windows look. I wish though, you would've/could've done a version of the makeover with the couch and tv stand you already had. Like make it work. It's much more relatable to change out a couple pieces then being gifted all new furniture.
This room is just bananas! So so good, honestly, prob fav room yet!
:) THANK YOU
Same !!!!! My favorite was the dining room because I just love Chantilly lace White and the navy blue it just it's so me but this room I think is my favorite I literally want to replicate it into a house when I have my own house one day this is so beautiful oh my gosh Drew do it again and again and again in different rooms oh my gosh I'm going crazy this is just this makes me so happy
I'm OBSESSED with this! Putting the DIY console in the dining room was genius and the console from Aricle looks AMAZING undrthe TV! Also..the black around the windows is AMAZING as well! Great job!😍😍😍
Yep, the black windows.
And the curtains are perfect. Love the carpet.
The whole room is peaceful.
That’s great that you got your Article items within a week bc you’re an influencer. I, however, have been waiting for an ottoman I purchased back in June. The arrival date has been pushed back three times. Going on 4 MONTHS without the item I already paid for.
Sometimes I can’t help but feel so envious of influencers receiving these furniture pieces for free because i’m currently living with a very broken couch and i’ve been saving for almost 1.5 years to replace it.
That's a damn shame!
@@CatNevery Yeah & those who receive tons of free clothes while the rest of us save up for a few good pieces a year :/
Cla Lyrics or makeup, skincare and hair products etc.
I'm over the fully article furnished videos. I'm not even finishing this video because of it tbh. Just so unrelatable. article is NOT affordable and to hear they don't even have good CS?? Fuck it. Give me literally any other brand at this point.
The curtains actually being longer and dragging on the ground kind of make it look more luxurious. :3 like a luxurious industrial look!
Absolutely agree, I always keep my curtains dragging on the floor.
It’s a design thing, I love it
Agree about pooling curtains looking great. But if the fabric is not washable those bottoms are going to get pretty dirty fast...then what? I bought linen look curtains from Target that are not washable so made the sensible choice not to hang them long. Sometimes function is more important than form.
@@seagal-1 usually when they say not washable they mean washing machine. You can hand wash them and be as gentle as possible and use dye free soaps and stuff (and cold water to help not set stains) then let them air dry if you really want the look. Also, unless you have pets or live in a super dusty area, if you vacuum your house every week your curtains shouldn't be getting that dirty.
I love how you roll with the punches with figuring out what works and what doesn’t! I get so discouraged when I buy something and I just feel like it doesn’t work and don’t quite know how to fix it. I enjoy hearing your thoughts on how to solve certain issues!
Thank you so much!
LOOOOVE the black window trim!!! I loved it when MaCenna and I love that you got inspo from her!
I feel like a round coffee table would be so perfect in the space and enhance the cozy vibes of that amazing sectional, but the basket is super cute too and functional. And the top of that bookcase would be the perfect spot for a beautiful trailing plant. Heart eyes at everything!
Liking a video before watching bc you know you’re gonna love it 😂
EVERYTIME 😍
This is EXACTLY what I want to learn to do. I don't want something too trendy with all the farmhouse/shabby chic stuff that will look outdated by the time I can afford to pull together a room. I love the timelessness of the classy earthy eclectic with a bit of vintage and good artsy vibe. I don't even know what to call it. But THAT'S the kind of style I want to achieve. It looks like a lifetime of collecting art and great pieces but still current. I'm going to keep watching and hope I can pull it off!
I believe you can! Woot woot!
Hey! I'm 61 years old, swf, just sayn I love your energy, personally and your makeover videos. I enjoy your channel so much!! Keep it up :)
I absolutely love it!!! 🥺 it feels so cozy and homey, it’s perfect for the season coming too!
I feel like your landlord should be paying you to live there
💯
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I recon it is so good that....you should check with him or her the land lord before you go,back to the original.... they may like what you’ve done and want it to stay!
Sandy Graetz totally agree! This is quite the upgrade from what it was before.
@@sandygraetz5166 It's not up to the landlord (one word not two) whether or not this apt stays as is once he moves out. it's up to what the next tenant wants. who knows if the black frame industrial vibe will be in 2 years from now? just like the popcorn ceilings were removed when he moved in - - the landlord would've been just fine leaving the ceilings as is. property owners don't wanna spend any extra montee if they don't have to.
What landlord would ever ask Drew to reverse any of the changes he made? We’ve done a lot of changes to our apartment inspired by Drew and our landlords are tickled at the work we’ve done! Haha!
"The living room is done, the living room is done! Let me reveal it to you in 3,2,1! LOL!!!!!!!! Love, love...LOOOOVE!!!!!!
Actual favorite part hahahaha!!!!
I imagine a chunky cement, but modest in size, oval coffee table. Or maybe slate black top?
I agree, he should add a rounded coffee table.
Very nice! I couldn’t believe you placed your sofa with its back to the fireplace. However I don’t know how you would have achieved such a wonderful design without doing it. Clearly the tv was the focal point. Someone already mentioned sliding over one of the curtain rings outside of the supporting hardware-please do that. It would look better. Glad I found you. I was looking for a refresh of my home and you’ve given me the push to do it. BTW I’ll be 70 in June (a young 70) but I’m still open to new Ideas. I love the black framed windows and I love your enthusiasm!
OH.MY.GOD. It looks a-mazing!!!!
Coño Mimi xD jajaja tu por aquí xD
Me encanta!!! ;)
@@MyshelafromTanelorn jajajaja holiii
I don't think so... He makes it looks like a very small room beside that he lost a lot of the view of the windows and the fireplace
Love the room truly, but I just can’t feel the coffee table. I think something, maybe Scandinavian?, or a vintage trunk? And maybe something in the lower half of the fireplace. Something painted on or mural? Live with it all and you will figure it out. Beautiful room.
Deborah Streb I agree about the coffee table, I think a round coffee table would be nice since everything else is square or rectangle except the accessories.
I'm feeling glass top table to keep the area more open and airy..
Eppy VonPeppy Agreed! The coffee table looks too bulky.
Same here, the coffee table isn't vibing for me, loved everything else though.
@@eppyvonpeppy5213 that was my first thought. A glass top coffee table would look better
I agree with your choice to use the curtain rings. And it's great to have the fabric to "break" a little on the floor!
I absolutely love it!!! 🥺 it feels so cozy and homey, it’s perfect for the season coming too!
I’d love to see drew doing a kids room! Would be interesting to see how his aesthetic translates to a children’s space!
I want to do a kids room so bad!
Yes please! I'm moving hopefully this month. Need ideas for my son's room.
I am OBSESSED with all the black and warm tones together 😍
Love the funiture and black Windows. I'm not in love with te table. Everything is square a more rounded table would have been my choice.
B MelloW I think painting the table such flat black colour was a mistake. It looks so artificial.
yess or an organic shaped table
I agree.. I'd change the coffee table for sure (maybe with something with a glass top) and probably the carpet too. Love the tv that seems a picture.
I had a big rectangular coffee table. It was awkward to walk round and took up a lot of room. After living with it for a year, I swapped it out for 2 round tables (1 fits under the other) Best decision I've made. Looks so good, everyone loves it, no banging legs against the corners and still enough surface space on the tables. 😁
Mary Young nice!
Drew looks stunning. Only one thing I would ad to it. A glass sheet on the coffee table. 😍😍😍
I like how you show the trial and error part! Makes me feel better when I come to styling my space 😅👍
The living room looks like the pieces were acquired over time. A very sophisticated look!
Yay. I literally kept refreshing my phone to see if it had been uploaded. Omg it’s here!!!!
❤❤❤
okay, I was low-key nervous when he said he wasn't digging the vibe from the console he built (and that brought him so much joy) and I was so happy to see it in its new home in the dining room, where it fits in like it always knew that's where its home was... #sogood. Great job Drew.
I’m English but I’ve lived in Spain for over twenty years. In England most rooms are placed with the fireplace as the focal point. In Spain my fires are wood burners so I’ve continued to place the furniture with the fire as the focal point.
I love your make over and as always you do an amazing job and it looks right for the room. Love the black frames and the layout looks so cosy. You have a magical touch. Well done once again. 😘xx
In California since it's so hot, fireplaces are mostly for decorations. TV as a focal point is more important than fireplace
Stunning! I was so relieved when you decided to switch out the coffee table. I’ve been working to de-brown my living room this week too!
I absolutely love your videos! You are incredibly talented. I love the way you eventually decided to: split up sectional sofa - so polished, painted the fireplace black and finally the piece of furniture that you eventually built and placed on the left hand side of fireplace against wall was so art deco and chic!!!!
It looks amazing!! Would be fun to see some books or logs inside the fireplace! And I think you could get away with some crazy sculptural vintage or stone coffee table, too!!
I know you'll get your Netflix show soon Drew! I was hoping Studio McGee would get one and they did which I'm so excited for. But there's such a gap in the market for what you do - stunning interior design on a budget with houses that most of us actually live in (rather than the beautiful but completely aspiration McGee projects). This makeover is just stunning - you keep outdoing yourself with every makeover video. Will you be doing anymore virtual makeovers? My living room/ diner is 50% done but I'm stuck on how to make it cosy/ fill the walls. Would love some tips.
i had no idea they got a show on netflix! that's amazing!!!
This room literally looks like it should be in a magazine. The structure of the room, walls, windows, and the colors - breathtaking! I love the window/wall contrast. I also think the old buffet/tv stand in the dining room is amazing.
It all looks so beautiful Drew. The black window trim makes the whole room pop. Loving it!
I woul'd love a round coffee table in this space, maybe even a white one. Other than that, the living room turned out sooo good!
me too
Yes, personally... I thought an irregular ovalish shaped coffee table with a white marble style table top would be nice there. I feel the space is too boxy.
I thought a black metal legs table with glass or marble top would be perfect.
I thought what he did was fine 😊👍👍
I like what you did with the old consul table. It looks like it was made for the space there in the dining room. The living room looks great.
Okay but imagine brass fixtures on that old black window frame. That would look so chic.
ahh i’m blaming you for all of the makeovers i constantly do throughout quarantine.
Really gorgeous. I’m so happy you let the curtains puddle. It’s so much warmer and cozier that way. Fabulous.
Oh and I love all the textures too. I do like the wicker trunk that you painted black but I might have gone with an oval brass and glass coffee table. No criticism here, just a thought. It’s warm and beautiful. I absolutely LOVE the bits I’ve seen of the dining room and love where you tucked your black console. This is the only second video of yours I’ve seen. I’ve been following XO, Mackenna and just heard about you from her. I’m a 60 yo interior decorator and children’s author with insomnia so I watch y’all’s videos at night. Great job! The stairway going up to your apartment is FABULOUS!!
I'M SO EXCITED, I LIKED BEFORE WATCHING IT CAUSE I KNOW IT'S GONNA BE LITTTTTT.
That intro thooo, it's soooo cute and beautiful. Fall is the best season for Lone Fox.
Aw thank you so much!!!!
I'm in complete awe of the final reveal every single time (and a little jealous since im stuck in a dorm room atm...)
Love the windows! I’d really like to see a video about styling personal photos of family etc. Sometimes it can look cheesy/ garish so some advice on this would be awesome 👏🏼 love you Drew!
I love adding personal touches of family photos. There are so many cute frame options at Target, World Market, CB2 etc. I think if you select an appropriate frame, it's not cheesy at all! You can also reprint all the photos in black and white for a fun vintage element!
@@lonefox thank you, Drew! Keep being your awesome self. With love from the UK 🇬🇧
I love that couch!! I think maybe a round ottoman coffee table to break up some of the sharp edges in your living would work a little better than that rattan one.
How do you not have a million subs🤯 like I feel this content is so good I should be paying for it! HGTV who? 🙌🏼
This is absolutely stunning!!!!! the black window trim and Chantilly lace walls.....Perfection!!!!
Everything about the room is amazing but I especially love how you painted the window trim black!
It does look great but my opinion would be to add another curtain in the middle of the large window and add 3 dark brown items to your beige book case.
Imagine just being given thousands and thousands of dollars of beautiful furniture I could never
It's kind of payment for the promotion he is providing them. They don't just give stuff away and expect nothing in return.
While I absolutely understand trading furniture etc. for the exposure/advertising it brings to the company, it does make it difficult if someone wants to create a similar style but cannot afford such a high end purchase. Perhaps for at least a few areas of the room you could give diy options for a similar look. Couch slipcovers for example. Just a thought.
Fabulous job bravo 👏!!
Love all the natural elements so earthy and homey 🥰
I loved that you didn’t totally know what you were doing and hearing your thought process as you figured it out! It looks beautiful, thanks for sharing!!
So glad you decided to keep the sideboard- it looks AMAZING!!! 😍😍😍
Yay! Thank you!
OBSESSED!!! I am completely obsessed with Drew's vision when it comes to home interior decorating. I have been waiting for several episodes to pile up just so I can binge on all things Lone Fox in his new digs. This living room is EH-VER-EE-THING!!! (I would love to know what his landlord thinks.) I also LOVE the website!! It's so clean, well thought out, and easy to tool around in. I am not a DIY'er. I get such anxiety even thinking about painting or making a mistake. I just live vicariously thru Drew and watch the final amazing results. I am so glad he is using his gift to make the world just a little bit better.
Oh my gosh, your new place is STUNNING! so much character with those gorgeous push out windows, the fireplace and ceiling, the beautiful view out the window with mature trees and the wrought iron fencing. 😍😍 We live in a builder grade sort of home and while it's perfect for us, I crave adding character like this to it!! Would love to see a video on easy ways to add craftsman character to builder grade/basic homes!
FAVORITE VIDEO MAKEOVER U HAVE DONE! Excited to go see new fall arrivals. Anyone agree??
Wow! Just WOW! That black trim with the crisp white walls and curtains is simply stunning. I really appreciate that you went with the more muted tone rug, makes it look so cosy and inviting. Great choice to bring in more black. I think you are simply adorable, and so talented! I love watching you, you’re sweet, goofy nature always makes me giggle. THAT DANCE!! Teeheehee🤗! You seriously need your own main stream DIY show!
Honey I've been waiting on my article sofa for months. Supposed to be here mid october. I got the Nirvana in cognac. Yay. I'm also painting my wall of bookcases black and the walls white. I'm excited. Article didnt care at all that I was redoing my living room. I paid big. 🙄🤣🤣🤣🤣 And now I'm too broke to do much more for my room. Now I see why stuff is so expensive. All the youtubers getting "gifted" $3000 pieces. Good for you, though. I dont have the balls to start a channel. It's crazy how similar my taste is to yours. Like, out of everyone I watch.....I get the most from you.
Me too, I'm waiting on my couch for 2 months lol they are fast to deliver to RUclipsrs so they can get on the videos obviously.
And I'm also broke here. My living room is basically done with creative wall painting and plants, then the sofa when it arrives.
Its a lot cheaper for them to gift LoneFox a £3000 sofa than to pay for traditional adverts, so dont worry - your room will look lovely and not be any more expensive than it should!
I would’ve used the article stand in the dining area where the DIY rattan and black one is. The black and dark blue clash. The rattan tv stand also would have pulled in the diy storage cabinet in the living room since it has the same cane. Either way it turned out beautiful!!
i thought the brown one was way longer than the black one? maybe it wouldn't fit in that hole?
i think the article one looks better in the living room but he should put the DIY'd one in the little sun room off the dining room or maybe in his room- its beautiful but it does clash with the dark blue walls
I thought it fit perfectly where we put it. It just goes so well with everything else. It literally looks like it was meant to be there in my mind.
WOW!!!! Ok so like, at first when I seen you paint the window frame black, I was like no way. But afterwards I was very impressed. You will be great through life with your style of decorating skills. Good job. It looks like a picture in a magazine.
stunning as always drew! but i think the living room has so many corner elements to it, almost everything is rectangle and square. maybe a roundish coffee table?
Drew, I would literally let you do my house blindfolded, I have that much confidence in your talent
I like all of it! Especially the windows.
I think your design dilemma with coffee table could be solved with a round table, that's back or a deeper blueish color or something from the rug.
I'm honestly love listening to you talk about your ideas and if you change your mind. It's so valuable.
Love you and loving your content 💖
This is beautiful. I’m curious to see what it would look like with the back inside wall of the fireplace painted in a flat black.
LOVE LOVE LOVE!! It's so welcoming. The only thing I'd add is dangling greenery plants at the top of the book case you made. Am I crazy? When you revealed the room I thought that was missing. Just a thought. My favorite is EVERYTHING!!! Awesome makeover!! Congrats.
Me too
Magical. Love the white. Nothing says fresh like a beautiful white. I love all your choices. If it was my room I would consider deeper rug color of maybe blue, Navy? I love the rug you chose. It’s just similar to the floor. You are very inspiring with an amazing eye. That is such a new modern classic style.
I’ve been excited for this all week!
It is soooo beautiful! I would put a customized glass over the coffee table.... Love the mirror over the fireplace 💕
This is one of my favourite video that you have posted! I can see all the process of thinking and trying different matches. Every change, I have the same thoughts as you when I was watching the video.
Your landlord is awesome for letting you paint the window trim. I love it all. The only thing I would do different is get a bigger lamp or elevevate the one that it next to the sofa. The scale looks off to me.
