    Sherry I have to say you are the only one on RUclips who does not follow trends and that's a good thing! Your style is warm and inviting and what makes it special is it's created out of love not the latest trend! By the way did you know you are in Trend now? According to Nick a decorator on RUclips traditionalist coming back for 2024 however you don't have just traditional you have well-loved items and that makes you unique❤❤❤

      I totally agree ! She does what she loves and that’s what makes her so unique and so special. She doesn’t try to keep up with whats in our what’s not just does what she likes and she’s not afraid to tackle the hard things most of us would not even attempt or myself I’ll say! I love to see the items she gets at thrift stores and just makes the prettiest decor! I’d say she’s one of the most talented interior designer decorator not sure that’s the correct words but she’s one off the best at what we love to
      Watch the talented people so right?

      Loved your makeovers!! Navy blue is a favorite color of mine in decorating. A long time ago I painted my son's bedroom navy blue and added wide gray stripes on the longest wall. The stripes were a trend then but a couple of years later, after he'd grown up and left, I painted his room an off white. The room looked like it had shrunk! Hooray for your use of navy blue and your ability to be tool savvy!! Terrific makeovers!!❤

    From what I read years ago when I wallpapered two rooms the instructions said to plum a line in the center of the wall and work over to the corners, simply because walls are never perfectly square. This prevents the rolls of paper from "gradually" leaning off from perfectly straight. Worked perfectly. This is absolutly necessary if the wallpaper has a stripe.

    Hello! I had a professional install some prepasted wallpaper. He told me to always prep the drywall and always use wallpaper paste if you don't want any problems. It was a quick process, too. He rolled the paste on the paper, folded it on itself in thirds, walked into the room I wanted it in and hung it. The whole process took less than 30 minutes for a wall mural.

    Sherry these room transformations are all amazing. I want desperately to change things in our house because my taste has changed greatly over the years. I love that you just jump in and do. I’m always hesitant to do that because I question myself constantly. I do like how you used the app to check out how different things would look, and I’m going to try that. I think it would be a major help for me. This was a great video!

    Wow... having power tools and skills is hard to beat! Love the bedroom bookshelves, and the way you did the window wall above the bed. WIth the hanging framed art... It is very high end looking. Your stairway bird gallery wall is absolutely stunning!!!! I did my small bathroom with gold framed pictures of birds nests and love it. Your foyer is incredible!!!! The dark walls are everything. And your collection of thrifted accessories is enviable! The fact that you have an eye in displaying them on tabletops, bookcases and shelves is what makes your spaces so unique. Oh my... the library transformation with the plaid sofa is dreamy!!!! Very Ralph Lauren! Which I have started channeling in my home this year. I have bookmarked this video , as the inspiration is endless!!!!! You are my idol!

    I can’t decide if your kitchen or library bookcase makeover is the most dramatic but I love them both! I think it’s the navy color, I love it. If you’re not ready for a backsplash makeover here’s a suggestion. Try using spackle or grout in between the bricks for a more realistic look. When you originally did this DIY I suggested a German shmear and I still think that would look incredible. Either way thank you for your inspiration, I love your videos ❤️

    Your transformations are marvelous.

It was recently featured in a beautiful little gem of a film called Brian and Charles. I look forward to your next amazing changes!

    To me, the navy blue clashes with the pale turquoise color of the adjacent room, but maybe it just looks that way on my computer. Also, I would have left the chair rail white, but that's just my particular preference. Altogether, it's a beautiful transformation.

    You might want to think about painting the tile backsplash after you remove the peel-and-stick stuff. They make paint specifically for that. You could even sponge paint over a background color so it has the color variation of real brick.

    • @CanterburyCottage
      @CanterburyCottage  Год назад

      Thanks, Elizabeth. I have thought about painting the tile. It is little tiles, so that is one of the few options that could work.

    Thank you for a look back at some of my favorite projects of yours! My #1 favorite is your library. Changing the bookshelves to navy gave it such a different, dark academia look. I took a page from your book and when I was sick of my pale yellow living room, which has a large built-in bookshelf, I painted the room a deep clay (yes it seemed weird; my artist daughter did a computer mock-up and convinced me). Then I put up peel and stick wallpaper in a vintage hot air balloons pattern on the back of the bookshelf. It really gave the room some character and added interest and showcased my collection of vintage books and brass items well. Thanks for the inspiration!
    Oh, and that “dog eating kitty’s food” seems to be a no-win situation! We feed Gemma kitty her wet food in my bedroom with the door closed. Our dog thinks it’s candy and steals it every chance she gets! 😂

I did not realize that was such a material and I really dislike the tile backsplash in our new house. We have a large opening in the wall where an old telephone was mounted. I plan on covering the area with a painting that I did when I was able to paint.

      Thank you so much! I’m eager for you to see my son’s bedroom makeover. I have been thrifting some fun items that I can’t wait to put in there!

    Awesome job! Can't wait to see the next bedroom makeover! Your foyer looks amazing too. Although, I love the more red toned red rug as I thought it brought in some warmth and highlighted the wood elements in the space.

    Adore your taste! I have never been a fan of gray and any other wall paint.
