Do be sure to get the floor joists checked to ensure they can handle the weight of a pool table as they may need reinforcing so your pool table doesn't end up in the basement unintentionally. They're good on concrete slab, but since you have a basement...just have it checked out before you put one in there.
That happened (to a lesser degree) in my house. The prior owners put a pool table upstairs and we asked about supports when we bought and no one knew. When we removed the pool table, we noticed a bunch of nail pops and minor cracks downstairs. It was clearly from the house springing back after the years of stress from the heavy pool table.
@@TheSorryGirls I can’t believe you were able to find this chair!! We had those exact chairs growing up and I never saw a single household who also owned them!
I love the how you include the dates in the video so we can get a real timeline of how long DIYs take, bc it can be difficult to conceptualize with a lot of design shows and videos I’ve noticed it in a lot of Sorry Girls videos over the past little while but felt compelled to mention it with this video in particular
I almost never comment on vids, but I'm a long-time lurker - you folks make great content!! My husband and I have just about finished a 5 year home reno. We literally took the place down to studs and sub-floor, moved the kitchen, removed walls, installed a support beam and expanded the bathroom. Not contractors, we just used books and RUclips to learn. Huge tip that I hope you read, Becky, as this will save you a LOT of time if you're replacing trim in the whole house. Finish the trim BEFORE installing it (especially solid wood trim) you then only have to do a finishing coat on the top face after you fill your pin holes or screws. Also trim screws are worth the price. They're hardly noticeable. Good luck with the gorgeous house!
Oh these LAMPS! Beautiful! Also love the simplistic trim. And I know we don't see it often, but staining BEFORE installing is much easier with a one coat paint, since you can make longer brush strokes without worrying about splashing stain on the freshly painted walls.
Loving this series Becky and Austin. A little tip, if your using a crowbar and prying on drywall put a board or plywood peice under bar to protect the drywall. No big divots when your done.
Ma'am, you are an inspiration. Watching this made me want to get up and organize and do other projects but I also needed to keep watching! Great job and thanks for the boost of inspiration.
Gotta say re: the sponsor, I tried Blueland's products and I was super disappointed. Mostly in the "forever bottles", since the plastic trigger broke on one before I'd gone through the first bottle's worth of cleaner. The pump on the soap also deteriorated quickly. It feels like greenwashing when they claim to reduce plastic waste while selling these cheaply made, easily broken refill bottles.
I have 2 of the soap dispensers and have had them for about a year and half now. While the bottle itself is glass, the actual pump is made of plastic, and both still work, but there’s been times I thought they were broken (the soap pump eventually clogs in some areas so you just gotta clean them often). What I dislike is that the refills are not as cheap as I would like, plus you have to buy so many to qualify for the free shipping option
Of course these brands are a prime example of greenwashing. If a brand really was ecological and fair in manufacturing and pricing, they wouldn't be able to offer such a high discount and partner with numerous influencers.
I bought an authentic mid century coffee table with the brand stamp on it from a retired couple clearing out their storage unit for TWENTY BUCKS. This table is ENORMOUS. They had no clue!
Great find! I love when that happens 😩 We have an authentic mid-century dining room table with 4 chairs that we got for FREE 👀 because it belonged to my husbands great grandparents. It’s new to us and we adore it.
Love your new opening sequence. Love the new trim. Not only does the color look better but the simpler style suits the style of the house better.Your new lamps look great as well and your hair looks beautiful at the end of the video.
Oh I can't wait! I just ADORE Becky and her style is very close to mine so I'm thrilled about this series! (Equally thrilled Kelsey is redoing her kitchen and we get that too!!)
Same. I was confused for a second because i'm from England and she said it exactly like a person with a specific English accent would sound. It actually startled me!!!!!
I love the trim on the windows! They look beautiful. I am crossing my fingers that you get the pool table. I am so excited to see the end result of that room🥰🥰🥰
Just a note for the Blueland stuff! The little circle and line on the label is actually the water fill line! Filling it properly will give best results 👍
As for the pool table you will need pros to balance the table and reinforce the floors. Check out any place that’s going out of business to buy the table and they will know who to hook you up with.
Such good finds! I love the white walls and the new trim! Also the light in that space and the trees outside are just sooo nice. 🥰😍 can't wait to see how you decorate the room!
those lamps are epic. I really like how this is matching up with your pins, and those lights definitely take it from 'getting there' to 'oh yeah, here we are. :)
Sometimes people don't know what they have. I picked up (4) Gunlocke wood frame side chairs for $100 total. They are vintage with the original vinyl in good shape. It's a commercial product & the current version of the chair (very similar design) sells for $600+ each.
Love how it’s coming together! Going to be amazing when your done. Idea: painting the slat walls I think would make the space feel more cohesive. Right now it’s giving “home exterior”
I probably have never been so excited to see a home makeover! You look so happy and excited, I so get that. Congratulations to you and your cutie husband!..and Danny of course. ❤️🐾🇨🇦
So excited about your new place! Just some feedback, including a clear layout of the room while listing out your to dos makes it easier (for me at least) to see the vision before diving into specific items you’ve picked up! Imo
oh man, seeing you pull off the trim pieces reminds me of our house. The pieces themselves are beautiful, but some are SO warped and you can tell the original owners (they built the home and must have DIYed a lot) just got angry with the trim not being done and did ALL of it with a nail gun. Beautiful pieces of wood with lil nail gun holes everywhere. No putty, they're all falling off because they're just nailed to drywall, it's nuts.
I've been holding my breath & looking so forward to your new house videos...the house is gorgeous & your talent & taste your all's home is going to be sooo amazing !!! Sending you all the best and can't wait till the next video !!! 🐕❣️🐶
Hiya Becky! Love the space so much already. I can say that with the stickers your Nelson Bubble lamps are authentic. I work for the company and Girl looks like you got an amazing deal!!!! Good job 👏🏾 Can’t wait to watch the second part of this make over! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Becky, I Just Love Your Energy and your Beautiful SOUL❤️ You are doing Amazing Work on your new Home and I can't wait to see what's next 🤩 Keep on Shining, Becky!! I am here for it All🌟🌟🌟
I grew up in the 70s/80s - we had a slate pool table, when my parents sold the house in the early 80's the pool table was included because it was too hard to move it. Fingers crossed it all goes well.
I just saw a bar that had a tabletop cover for a pool table, so it was convertible. That would be an awesome DIY so it can also function as a table when you aren't playing pool
Awe so cool to see you buy something from Man & Son! They are a local company here in Victoria BC that is owned by a friend of a friend of mine. Love it :)
G'day Beccy, lovin' the new digs kiddo, can't wait to see what you do with the place... gotta say, between the chair and those light fittings, you are one arsey bugger [major compliment on your bargaining skills and def not insult;)]... definitely the coolest things I've seen for a while. I reckon facey is the best place to cop a major bargain, recently scored a Horn sewing table for nix, an overlocker for 70, and an electric bed for $100, which is soooo cheap as they cost an absolute motza, even second hand, best thing I've ever bought... my son and daughter in law just furnished their nursery entirely with fb marketplace finds, either "free to good home" or super cheap...it's absolutely the go to, to find whatever you need or want, especially if you want to streeeeetch that currency... see ya next episode...🙃🐨🇦🇺
I'm DYING at how good you are at finding MCM pieces on marketplace. Do you have a video with your top tips on getting 2nd hand pieces online (via FB marketplace, craigslist, etc.)?
I’ve been subbed for a long while but I’m still stunned to this day. Such talent and taste. I love the inserts of the inspo photos cuz your room as is BECAME the inspo photo! So looking forward to next week’s new video!
I think the white really makes the ceiling pop! I wonder if the stain could be lightly sanded with fine grit sandpaper between coats to remove brushstrokes?
Don’t get me wrong, fully excited and obsessed with this video also butttt I did run here thinking the notification was about Kelsey’s kitchen update 😅. Assume that will be next week? Lol
Haha. I didnt realise until i saw the intro again that i had read "the husband" as the house band. (Swedish is my first language and husband is house band in swedish). Thought it was so fitting with the guitar! Anyway, lovely place. Fingers crossed the market place finds goes your way!
You should purchase a small pry bar. So much easier to take trim off than a large crow bar. It’s a multi-purpose tool so you’ll use it a lot. Oh, and the Herman Miller lights??? Score! 👍
I'm so in love with this makeover. Everytime you and Kelsey say "I'm gonna end here." I'm like, Nooo, I don't wanna wait another week! 😄 Lol! So excited for you all! 🥰
You guys! You're killing me! With suspense! Last week with the video of Kelsey I was all like: Nooooooo, the video can't end here! How will I wait for a week to see what the kitchen becomes?! Then this week, I'm like: huh, it's Becky. I was hoping to see the kitchen but well, let's watch this and then again! Nooooooooooo, the video can't end here! How should I wait even a single day to see what this space becomes!
Fun you mentioned a pool table cause my husband had one when I moved into his house and it was there when he moved in. Anyways when I moved in we turned the basement into a family room and sold the pool table lol.
Oof, Becky got a new house, Kelsey is redoing her kitchen. We're about to *EAT* with new content y'all. ✨😌
At least one place in our lives can be a land of plenty 😢
If only it wasn't a third of a makeover every week
@@rockylily36 Hey those things take time 😭
Do be sure to get the floor joists checked to ensure they can handle the weight of a pool table as they may need reinforcing so your pool table doesn't end up in the basement unintentionally. They're good on concrete slab, but since you have a basement...just have it checked out before you put one in there.
Oh, that's a great point, those things are HEAVY! Glad you pointed it out
Tht wht i was thinking abt for the entire video.
I was: Becky check the floor first the FLOOOR u don't wanna wake up on a bad surprise.
Oof yeah, kinda like waterbeds... 😶
That happened (to a lesser degree) in my house. The prior owners put a pool table upstairs and we asked about supports when we bought and no one knew.

@@Noluna92 and cast iron tubs where the filled weight can approach 1000lbs
The pool table mover guy was giving you nothing on the phone 😂🤣
I think that was the seller not the movers
It sounded like her husband's voice, I think it was a reenactment
@@livelongandprospermary8796 i think they meant the first phone call
That office chair is SICK
such a good find tbh
@@TheSorryGirls I can’t believe you were able to find this chair!! We had those exact chairs growing up and I never saw a single household who also owned them!
I thrifted this exact office chair except mine is all brown leather!
I love the how you include the dates in the video so we can get a real timeline of how long DIYs take, bc it can be difficult to conceptualize with a lot of design shows and videos
I’ve noticed it in a lot of Sorry Girls videos over the past little while but felt compelled to mention it with this video in particular
That opening sequence was everything I need! Can't wait for a 'cameo by neighbour bob'
omg yes
I am so very, very pleased that you are not painting over the wood, but instead, you are embracing it’s glorious and natural beauty. 🌿

And I know we don't see it often, but staining BEFORE installing is much easier with a one coat paint, since you can make longer brush strokes without worrying about splashing stain on the freshly painted walls.
I was just wondering why it isn’t normally done that way! I thinks it’s more logical to stain before.
I always wonder that too. I think it actually is pretty common but they do it opposite on this channel and I'm always surprised 🤷♀️
Loving this series Becky and Austin. A little tip, if your using a crowbar and prying on drywall put a board or plywood peice under bar to protect the drywall. No big divots when your done.
Becky, you matched color on the window trim perfectly with the ceiling. You got this room !!! You go girl. !!!
Ma'am, you are an inspiration. Watching this made me want to get up and organize and do other projects but I also needed to keep watching! Great job and thanks for the boost of inspiration.

Good to know
I was wondering about that with the glass bottles, the spray head looked super flimsy
I have 2 of the soap dispensers and have had them for about a year and half now. While the bottle itself is glass, the actual pump is made of plastic, and both still work, but there’s been times I thought they were broken (the soap pump eventually clogs in some areas so you just gotta clean them often).

Of course these brands are a prime example of greenwashing. If a brand really was ecological and fair in manufacturing and pricing, they wouldn't be able to offer such a high discount and partner with numerous influencers.
I had the same experience. The bottles broke immediately and the soap pumps were clogged constantly. It was very disappointing.
I bought an authentic mid century coffee table with the brand stamp on it from a retired couple clearing out their storage unit for TWENTY BUCKS. This table is ENORMOUS. They had no clue!

Your husband must absolutely so proud and relieved that you are a jack of all trades! You do incredible things!
Gosh...I really didn't want this video to end! Love the new place. The rec room is huge. You got a sweet deal on the pendant lamps. You rock.
Becky yelling "STUNNING" had me 🤣🤣 very excited to see how this house will evolve-this looks so good already 👏
Same. I was confused for a second because i'm from England and she said it exactly like a person with a specific English accent would sound. It actually startled me!!!!!
@@Emma-ub5db i guess the actress who plays Alicent in HOtD made an impact in that very famous interview lol
@Lucille P. yes exactly! I haven’t even seen House of the Dragon but I knew which actress you meant!
Oh, And those Lamps were A Total Score and I absolutely love them✌️
Love the name you picked for this series ♥️♥️
I love the trim on the windows! They look beautiful. I am crossing my fingers that you get the pool table. I am so excited to see the end result of that room🥰🥰🥰

The windows, the sconces, everything is just so so amazing. Great start to the makeover!
That conversation with the moving guy had me in stitches. "Yup" is the answer to all questions, LOL
30 seconds in and i love it already! Thanks for putting a smile on my face every week :)
The trim made alllllll the difference. Wow.
watching Becky’s reaction to the lighting install was so cute! they look STUNNINGUH ✨
I'm loving the little intro for this series - Danny's little head tilt is everything!
It never ceases to amaze me what a little bit of colour can do. The walls and trim are perfect!
Becky, I’m just so happy for you. These series are making my heart sing 🥰 The intro is also a 10/10
obsessed with the house obsessed with the title !!!! so excited for this 🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶
Becca, I luv what you’ve done to the multipurpose room. Looking forward to the rest of your creations. What a sweet deal on the wall sconces.🧡🧡🧡
I love how you did that promotion. You actually used it in the video and so I didn’t skip it 😊
Such good finds! I love the white walls and the new trim! Also the light in that space and the trees outside are just sooo nice. 🥰😍 can't wait to see how you decorate the room!
Loooving the new family intro! Danny is a star!
becky doing construction work with the mosts amazing elegant beautiful manicure is such a vibe
That 70’s House… CHEFS KISS OF A SERIES NAME
giving the credit up to the sorry girls squad!! they came up with it in the comments!
Oh those wall sconces are nothing short of AWESOME! YES, make a video all about Marketplace experiences. That would be interesting. Kijiji too!!!
those lamps are epic. I really like how this is matching up with your pins, and those lights definitely take it from 'getting there' to 'oh yeah, here we are. :)
SCORE on those lights! The paint makes the room looks so much brighter and cleaner, it's going to look great!
Love Love love what you've done so far & I'm in for the entire house for sure!!! You've never done us wrong before 😁😁😁
It’s okay Becky I was also on the verge of tears seeing that lamp lit up
The space is dreamy, I'm so happy you got it and we get to see you experiment and bring your vision to life 🙏
Sometimes people don't know what they have. I picked up (4) Gunlocke wood frame side chairs for $100 total. They are vintage with the original vinyl in good shape. It's a commercial product & the current version of the chair (very similar design) sells for $600+ each.

Congratulations on the New house Becky. I can't wait to see how you design it. 🥰
The lamps are so beautiful! what a great marketplace find 😍

Fyi for the most sparkle …When cleaning the windows/walls try Wipe left to right, top to b bottom….
You *should* make a whole video on marketplace experiences though
I would watch that so fast
Amazing finds! The desk, sconces, chair...so good. If this house turns out the way I think it can...we'll be seeing it featured in a magazine.
Great work! It looks so good. The lamps are perfect.
I love love love love love ❤️ the room!! The lights look so amazing 😍
Loved the intro. So stinkin cute.
So excited to see what you do. I love your style. I have a ton of mid century teak furniture from my parents 🥰
I think the white really makes the ceiling pop!
I wonder if the stain could be lightly sanded with fine grit sandpaper between coats to remove brushstrokes?
Wow, you really hit the mark with the wall trim, and the Herman Miller sconces are devine! Great job. 🌺

Anyway, lovely place. Fingers crossed the market place finds goes your way!
The new trim looks amazing!
That pool table is going to be so gorgeous in that room. Very excited for the reveal
Yeess, I love Beckys home reno series! Her interior style is so gorgeous 😊
I love it Becky ! So close to your inspo ! Can’t wait to see what’s next 😮!
Congrats on your new home. I'm so happy for you guys. Looking forward to joining you on this journey. I'm so excited.
Becky you can build a horizontal book shelf below the windows like your inspo pic
You should purchase a small pry bar. So much easier to take trim off than a large crow bar. It’s a multi-purpose tool so you’ll use it a lot.
Oh, and the Herman Miller lights??? Score! 👍
I'm so in love with this makeover. Everytime you and Kelsey say "I'm gonna end here." I'm like, Nooo, I don't wanna wait another week! 😄 Lol! So excited for you all! 🥰
