    I think the bamboo blinds were a great call. Even if the windows were new, I'm not sure there'd be anything wrong with that layering. The room looks beautiful and warm!

    It looks awesome. There’s probably a way to raise those built-in shades as it would be weird if you didn’t have the option of being able to see out the windows. If you can raise them then they can stay accordioned at the top of the windows and hidden behind those beautiful bamboo shades and it would be like they’re not there.

    I like how you ended up doing the windows. It really suits the room and a good alternative until you can change the windows. Beautiful job on the living room.

    It came out so cozy :) I love the bamboo shades over the blinds :) It takes time to get your place where you want it to be. I've been working on my tiny cottage for almost 8 years, a couple of big projects each year :) I'll be done with the cottage itself this year, feels so good and it's now what I wanted it to be :) Next year starts the outdoor projects, that will take two years :) You're moving right along and your place looks great :)

    Sam, dudette! You did amazing! The living room looks so cozy🥰. Look, I’ve lived in my apartment for 10 years and I still change things around as my needs change. Also, furniture and decor is expensive! So why not use what you have until you can source/make/afford something else?
    Also: At least now you never run out of birthday/occasion present suggestions 😜

    The room looks stunning. If you don't like the shoe storage on the accent wall what about cutting the legs off and putting a cheap back on it and putting it against the couch that way you still have storage, a console table and your beautiful wall free. You'd have to decorate it a little different but it would solve so of your issues temporarily while you save for better options. Just a thought. Personally I love it. No doubt you get it to your perfect vision in due time. Stay blessed

    @mabelmargaret8295 2 года назад

    It looks great! I get what you mean about the shoe storage: I have pieces that are practical and suit a need but just don't look the way I want them to. Whenever you're able/ready you could do a long, lower console behind the couch to replace it. That would do double duty as a behind the couch table if you needed lighting or a place to sit your drinks, etc. Hope that helps! Looking forward to the next video! 😊💖

    Did you remove the header in the doorway going upstairs or just remove the door itself? I know you said there was a header you had to leave in, but I didn’t understand where you said it was. My house is very similar to yours and the header is possibly low enough to hit a person 5’ 10” or more in the forehead when they’re coming down the stairs,especially if they run down the stairs.

      Is it possible you switch sides the chaise is on? Even just for the winter as it is too close to the radiator, it could get so hot that it could catch fire, melt or ruin the leather. That cover turned out gorgeous! In its self is a piece of art!
      Regarding shoe storage, is there room under the couch to put pull out "drawers", so you can eventually lose the wall shoe/console? Although that looks great, yet! I agree a bit too tall as it covers that fabulous wall graphic. Instead, find - or build - a narrow sofa console that goes along the back of the sofa - which is so dreamy!! 🥰
      The coffee table! WOW! The rug - gorgeous! Fireplace - KA-POW!!! The entire room is stunning! While you are not 100% happy with this, you still did a magnificent job!

    Hey Sam you did such a great job on the living room, as usual. The only comment I have is to move the couch closer to the kitchen so when you walk in from the front door you have space to walk directly in the room, not to have to walk around that awesome couch. That's just me. Can't wait to see the kitchen you motivate me to do more diys. Wishing you all the best on your upcoming wedding.

      Hi! Thank you! There’s actually a reason we can’t move it closer, but I’ll be able to share that with the kitchen project! 😏 Thanks for the love!

    2022 sage paints a new platform for autumn. I love timeless hardwood floors.

    That is a beautiful room. But isn't that a fire hazard having the couch up against the radiator?
