Welcome back to another video! I am so ridiculously excited to share this room transformation with you all 🥰 I have truly been dreaming of having a room like this since I was four years old, and the giddiness has been unreal 😂 This room has been a catch-all/storage room/generally neglected since we moved into this house two years ago, but I had a vision to create my perfect home dance studio/yoga studio/workout room and it turned out even better than I'd imagined! I hope you enjoy watching it all come together (along with the copious amounts of kitty footage) 😊
I got a bit emotional/vulnerable in this one, and I hope it helps inspire at least one of you to find the joy of movement again!

P.S. in an attempt to shorten this video a bit, I cut out some of the explanation in the intro including the clarification that when I’m talking about being in the worst shape of my life, I’m not talking about my weight/size/appearance. I'm in the worst shape of my life in terms of my mobility/strength/balance/ endurance/conditioning, and those are the areas I want to improve in! I want to be able to do my favourite activities, and those require a certain level of physical fitness that I dont currently have after a long break from movement ❤️

Not a dancer, but I love the way you light up just talking about getting back into dancing again! As usual your room makeover is stunning 👏👏 Enjoy it, girl. Your younger self is so so happy for you!
Aw thank you 🥹 this is such a kind comment 😭❤️
Former dancer here: I DO know. I DO get it. Ugh this room makes me so jelly, but I'm happy for you
Haha thank you 😂❤️
I danced jazz, ballet, belly dance and hip-hop throughout my childhood and teen years, but I was never too serious about it. In fact, I think I stopped because as I had a few friends who were professional dancers and I saw how much work they put into it, while I felt like I just couldn't dedicate myself that much to dancing. Still, I miss it a lot. I also haven't been moving enough lately, so this video has been extremely relatable. Anyways, I am so happy for you, the room looks great and I hope you find what you have been missing.
It can be so hard sometimes to find our own way in a sport or art or hobby, especially if we want to do it more casually/just for fun! I’ve quit so many things over the years because I didn’t feel like I could dedicate myself enough to it to be as good as I felt I had to be to prove to myself it was worth doing, I guess? But as I get older, I’ve started picking up more and more of those hobbies and realizing that it’s OK to just be mediocre at things if I enjoy them. I don’t even have to try to get better at them if I don’t want to, but it’s also likely that just practising over time will lead to that improvement, even if it’s slight. But as long as I’m enjoying myself, who cares, right?
Anyway, I hope you’ll find a way to move your body that brings you joy, whatever it might be! ❤️
Honestly, when my husband and I get a house I will definitely use milinote for all the reno. I love being able to have logistic and inspiration stuff together. I like that I could share it with him or have it readily available when we shop
It was so helpful! Especially having all the measurements to reference and to be able to comment back and forth on things as needed. I started only using it for the room design/inspiration, but it does so much more ☺️❤️
that green shade is really unique, it's so pretty 🥰
It’s such a lovely rich colour! It looks amazing in the sunshine ❤️
As someone who is aspiring to go into musical theater, I loved this video! It is so lovely to see you get back into something you love, and that room really goes with your calm aesthetic!
I was also in awe of your LaDuca shoe display😃
I now really want to hear more stories of your dance journey as well as your professional career!
Thank you so much! Haha yes I love my LaDucas ❤️ I was showing my parents the room and my Dad commented on how much money that closet is holding in shoes alone 😂 he’s not wrong! Lol I have occasionally shared stories over the years and if you scroll way back on my Instagram I’ve shared performance photos ❤️ I’m happy to elaborate on anything you’d like to know about, though!
As an ex-dancer, I totally appreciate all you have done to make your room a magical place for you, Yoda and Chewie! Just beautiful!! Happy dancing and moving💃🏽🎉🌟🤩
Aw thank you! It really does feel magical ☺️❤️
YODA?! 😭❤️😭❤️😭
🙋♀grew up a dancer, I totally get it! How awesome! I have a spare bedroom with a treadmill in it and a whole bunch of "we dump everything here" vibes - might take a page out of this book and get it in shape so I can get in shape! Thanks for the inspo 💖
Oo I love this! Go for it ☺️ it’s been so much fun to just pop in for a quick pirouette every time I walk down the hallway, and I’ve been doing longer dance sessions almost every day! It’s bringing me so much joy, honestly 😅❤️
@@PlantBasedBride I bet!! PS. every time I put my tap shoes on I do exactly the steps you did plus a lil Shirley Temple too. 🤣🤣
@@valaryahaha love it 😂 we all have our favourites/steps that are now ingrained in our DNA 😅
The fact that your "worst shape of my life" body is literally my dream goal body lmao. ded.
Great job on the room! I have been using Milanote for my patio makeover project and love it. I really have to start using more of the features you showed!
I guess I didn’t clarify lol I’m in the worst shape of my life in terms of mobility/strength/balance/endurance/conditioning! I’m not trying to lose weight or anything, just improve my cardio, strength, balance, and flexibility ❤️
@@PlantBasedBrideexcellent point. My father and I had a conversation yesterday where he remarked that someone was in "great shape" when what he meant was "thin". That's a big, big difference.
I'm so happy for you. Your joy is coming through the video.
Aw thank you 🥺 I have been riding a high of giddiness since finishing the space 😅❤️
I'm not crying, YOU'RE crying!!! I felt this hard, girl. I was blessed to be able to create my dream room (library & Peloton room in one) combining my two fav things in the world. It's a whole entire feeling. Enjoy your new space, it's gorgeous! ❤
Aw thank you 🥹 your room sounds glorious!! ❤️
Love the transformation. And the color is perfect!! Have fun using your beautiful room!
How did you comment 5 hours before the video was uploaded
Thank you! I’ve been loving it so far ❤️ I’ve been dancing almost every day!
My patrons get early access to my videos ☺️
It looks awesome! I would recommend a little command strip under each gallery wall piece for extra security when you are dancing around the space.
I live in a one room flat with no spare room to renovate😅 but how much I did enjoy this video, Elizabeth❤❤❤❤ it turned out so beautiful 🥰🥰 and the kitties made it extra special!🐈⬛🐈⬛
I definitely never had the space for a dedicated room like this until we bought our house! But I probably could have made a corner somewhere into a cozy dance/yoga space if I’d gotten creative 😅 I’m so glad you enjoyed it! ❤️❤️
I adored every second of this! I’m a theatre student in New York, but I messed up my ankle pretty badly in ballet class and haven’t been able to dance or even walk since then. Currently watching this on bed rest while recovering from surgery! I am so excited to get moving again when this is all over. That joy on your face is just when you talk about dancing?? Boy, do I feel that. Here’s to getting back to movement and showing our bodies the love they deserve! Living vicariously through you right now 🤭 And the room looks gorgeous!
Oh I’m so sorry! Injuries are the worst but hopefully you’ll heal quickly and be able to come back stronger with some rehab ❤️ and thank you so much! It’s lovely to see how much this video is resonating with other dancers 🥹
Also grew up dancing and after a long break (acl tear in 2017) I started a weekly ballet class last year 🎉 it's been so fun, my body remembers the shapes and it helps get me in better health again after a fall and long lasting concussion 4 years ago (yes lots of injuries over here 😂) ❤
That’s amazing! I’m so sorry for your injuries, I know how tough tears can be (though I’m thankful I never tore a tendon!) and I had a concussion in my twenties from a bike accident 😅 my body definitely remembers everything, but my mobility and strength are greatly reduced so actually getting into the positions and holding them is a struggle 😂❤️
As someone who also spent long years in dance studios and is also in her thirties, this was beautiful and made me cry a bit as well ❤ I hope you keep enjoying moving in your new room
Aw thank you 🥹 I’m glad to know this video resonated with other dancers ❤️
What a beautiful space! So lovely to see you being able to come back to your sport. Since covid and moving away for university I've been away from sailing and I miss it so much. My dream in my adult home is to have a wet room downstairs where I can hose of and store all my gear and equipment 😁⛵️
I hope you get your wet room!! I’ve been sailing a few times and it was so much fun (but also a lot of work 😅) - I wish I still lived near the water!
Beautiful transformation! I’m not a dancer - or someone who is used to exercising at all, quite the opposite - so I’ve decided to redecorate our guest room to turn it into my crafts room/yoga room and eliminate any potential blockers that prevent me from working out i.e having to move furniture to make room, so this video was super helpful!
Oh I’m so happy to hear that! It makes SUCH a huge difference having a dedicated space set up for its use. Then as soon as you get the urge to do a flow or make something you can just start! ❤️
omg this is my dream!!!!! I'm so happy for you😭❤️🥰 dancing and yoga was my solace and source of movement growing up. As of now I don't have enough space like this nor have the money to join any classes so I'm walking among the farms which is very comforting too! This video made my inner kid so happy. so happy to see how you're making your home such a cosy space with library, office and now this. The combination screams welcome to Elizabeth's home ❤️
Aw thank you 🥹 it does feel really lovely turning out home into the perfect space for us. We’re prioritizing what we love and ignoring the rest, and slowly but surely this is feeling like our sanctuary ❤️ I hope you’ll get that in your future, too!
The milanote looked so organized and helpful! Of course I shouldn't have to say this but your makeovers are on point, the room looks gorgeous and your needlepoint horse finally gets to show off, I'm so happy for you.
Thank you so much! Milanote was super helpful through the whole process ❤️
Aww, my hands just automatically goes to my heart, this is so wholesome and inspiring to watch you have your childhood dream come true, even though I'm a nondancer. But I would love my own yoga and hobby room as well, I realte so much to that. I am so much gonna manifest this for myself in my own version ofc, tapping into your giddy, emotional feelings 🥰🥰✨✨
Aw haha thank you! ☺️ I’ve been walking on air since we finished the room. I didn’t realize just how happy it would make me! I’m manifesting your own calm and cozy yoga and hobby room for you, too ❤️❤️
This is Fantastic. Love the room so much. But I have to say the cats were my favourite. I love their sense of wonder, of what is going on.
Haha they’re my favourite part, too 😂 they love investigating every change in the house ❤️
Such a treat to watch you dance!! And loved all the cat help you got, bet that made this excellent room makeover so much easier 🙄
Yes, it definitely made every step in the process much more efficient having the kitties help out 🤣 I’m just used to it at this point lol they’ll always climb on top of whatever I’m working on 😅
Totally get the mirrors and the Marley and the giddiness-once a dancer always a dancer :0) Enjoy!!!
So true! ☺️❤️❤️
I don't have a spare room to convert but you've inspired me to go back to tap dancing. ❤ Also love your room!!
Even a little corner could work, if you have one to spare! Tap was my first love (I started at 5 and fell in love immediately & had a tap solo every year at competitions) and I’ve missed it SO MUCH! I need to build up my ankle strength and mobility again to get all those sounds as clear as I’d like, but it feels amazing to do the steps that are so ingrained in me at this point ❤️ it’s like coming home, as cheesy as that sounds!
The transformation of the room is really amazing, congratulations on making the workout room of your dreams! Really enjoyed and got inspired by your process! ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much! ☺️ I’m like a little kid giddy with excitement in there 😂
I love this! I am not a dancer but I will absolutely be taking some inspiration for when we get our own home! Also that gallery wall hack is absolutely brilliant!!
Thank you! I had heard someone mention using paper to lay out the frames years ago but never tried it, and honestly it helped so much ☺️
I’m so happy you have this room and a lot jealous. I also love a good template for hanging pictures.
Haha aw thanks! ❤️
The room turned out beautiful! :D Enjoy using it
Thank you so much! ❤️🥹
This is so amazing! I just got inspired to maaaybe transform my unused office as well. And just to give you a little boost: You might feel like your body isn't in the best shape (at least at first), but it will feel so magical to get back into it. I started dancing again after a break during covid (I'm 30 now!), and it's the best decision I've made in a long time - physically and mentally. And I'm sure you will surprise yourself. You go girl!
Oh do it! I’m having so much fun spending time in there, even if I just pop in for a quick pirouette or sun salutation ❤️but I’ve also been doing some beginner/intermediate ballet classes working on activating all those little muscles again, even though it’s frustrating sometimes to realize I can’t do what used to be so easy 😅 thank you for the encouragement! It’s already bringing me a lot of joy and I’m hoping I can keep motivated through the difficult beginning ☺️
I can't wait for a full house tour one day if you decide to share it, it seems like it's all so cohesive and very much "you" if you know what I mean. 😅
That would be so fun! Probably at least a few years out, though 😅 we’re really taking our time and there’s lots of work to do!
I've been doing gym classes over zoom for years but nothing exciting or motivating. I JUST got back to skating and oh wow it's definitely what I needed.
I’m terrible at skating but it is such a magical sport - I’m in awe of anyone who can do it, honestly! I’m so glad you found your passion for it again ❤️
As a dancer as well, this is SO awesome. Would love to have a dedicated dance/movement room eventually.
Also...the dress you are wearing is stunning and I need to know where you got it!!!
Thank you so much! I got the dress secondhand from depop but it was from cider originally. No idea if it’s still available!
I had a back injury ten years ago with a long process of recovery, which allowed me to regain most of my ability to move normally. Since it became a chronic condition, last year I had an epiphany (laughs) and thought: "What if I work the muscles that surround the spine (my injury is spinal) and make them strong enough to support my body so the spine can get some relief?" you know, I was picturing my muscles as some sort of medical corset. And then I got back to the gym after years and years of not working out at all. And yes, little by little my body is becoming more resistant and I can endure longer walks now. It takes time and work, but you get results, one step at a time
That’s so wonderful to hear! Back injuries are no fun and really impact so much of our regular movement. Mine was muscular but ultimately caused by imbalances due to my scoliosis. I’d had so many injuries before that took at most a few months to recover from that I was shocked when years went by and no matter what I did I was still in extreme pain. I’m hoping as I find my way back to movement I can be more thoughtful about how I use my back so I don’t aggravate it too much ❤️
@@PlantBasedBride I'm so sorry, I kno how painful it is... mine is a hint at scoliosis, and that hurts so much sometimes that i imagine what a norma scoliosis must hurt and... it must be really really awful. I hope you are much better now. Yoga will help you surely
Excellent project management, Yoda. Your humans have done such a wonderful job. You too, Chewie 🤣 (dying over the cats being like "finally!!! baskets for the cats!! ") If I had an extra room in the house, I would love something like this. Oh, the Marley!!! Perfection!
Haha Yoda was overseeing literally everything 😂 Jason and I were joking that she thinks that’s her bedroom so wanted to make sure we didn’t mess it up lol Oo yeah, we have bathrooms to update in our house, too! We’ve been putting them off because they can get SO expensive 😭
I love everything about this transformation 💖 and I love Milanote! I've been using it to plan my writing out and it's been so amazing
Thank you so much! Oo that sounds like such a great application for Milanote 🤔❤️
WHAT a beautiful room!!! i love it!!!
Thank you so much! ❤️❤️
Such a lovely transformation! Happy for you! Dance is good for the soul! Your cats were dancing, too! cute! Morgan Harper Nichols has an affirmation that says " I am making room for things that heal my heart". Also ,Diane in Denmark on some of her Friday videos called weekly planning self-care gives four self-care assignments/ideas that one can choose from for the week and in one of those videos she mentioned being creative and movement. Also Mariane Cresp mentioned in her boost your mood video about music and Kennedy from the channel Cozy K has cozy hobbies to try videos. So this video makes be think of self-care! I like doing Gina B from the channel Up To the Beat fit dance walking videos!
Haha yes the kitties LOVE the Marley floor, it seems! It’s so funny to watch them wriggle around on it. 😂
This was really beautiful! So happy for you Elizabeth :) Even my cat Missy joined and she was very impressed with your dancing at the end.
Aw haha thank you and thank you to Missy, too! The cats love this room and are constantly in there even if I’m not 😂
I LOVE Milanote. I use it for everything. I just finished building a bullet journal for a read a thon in it.
Oh cool! I’d love to see what that looks like 👀
Beautiful! congratulations! What an inspiration.
Thank you so much! 🥰
So lovely! ❤
Thank you so much! ❤️
I love that you have your grandpa’s needlepoint! My grandpa did that too!
It means a lot to me ❤️ I never met him but I feel like I can know part of him, at least, through his artistic expression 🥰
Your room is lovely!!!
Thank you so much!! 🥰
Thanks for milanote! We’re downsizing and this will really help!
I’m so glad to share about it! It’s a super useful tool ❤️
To clean mirrors/windows...try using rubbing alcohol (in a spray bottle) and an old face cloth/rag. Then, if needed, use window cleaner.
I'll have to try this! We have a glass cleaner that seems to work pretty well, but I’m not sure I have the technique down just yet 🤔
Great job🎉 so cool you can dance like that:) ❤ Did the kitty start breakdance in the end?😅( *almost)
Thank you! Haha I call Yoda wriggly puff (inspired by Pokémon) because she’s always wriggling around on the floor 😂
@@PlantBasedBride 🤣
Totally off topic but where did you get the dress from the intro? It’s so pretty!
I got it on depop, but it was originally from Cider ❤️
@@PlantBasedBride ah perfect, thank you! A lot of their summer prints are really wonderful
Are you concerned that the tape will damage the floors?
We did a test and it was fine so we’re hoping for the best!
Cats being cats.
Always 😂
Anytime Yoda spoke, I earned a year onto my life. 🥹❤
I’m cat sitting for my friend’s family right now and I wish I could take the cat home cause I love cats so much. 😭
Haha aw I’m sure you’ll have your own cat companion before long! They really are amazing little creatures, even when they’re yelling that I missed a spot 😂
