    I love that your house is REAL- it's a home. We are all not in a point in our lives where we can purchase a 2.5mm mansion and have a designer do their thing. I'm always looking for practical ideas I can implement in my *home* that I share with a husband and 3 kids who, you know, LIVE in our home. Like right now our family room's coffee table is displaced off center to make room for VR games on the PS4. I adore the mirror in the entry. I would love to replicate on the wall you walk directly INTO when you walk into our home. And your staircase makes me swoon. Love love love. Clever ideas!

    I can't believe this!!!. I'm in the process of buying a house and I don't know anything about decorating. So the first thing that I decided to look for was for a video that would help me decide which color to paint the interior. And I found a really helpful channel and I started to binge watch some of her videos. Well today you came up on my recommendations. And I really like your creativity and the way you interact with the viewers. So I decided to go into your videos... And realized that I've been watching your daughter's channel all this time 😂😂😂

    Rebecca, you are one of my very favorite designers! Your work is very dramatic and classy. Most people would not have seen the potential in that home. But you had a vision and brought it to life. Well done and so unique. My favorite is very hard to choose. I'd have to say it was the mirrored wall and staircase combined because it makes such an impact. However, everything you put your hand on turns to magic. I've really never seen anything you've designed that I didn't like. God bless you in all you do!

  • @tigergreg8

    You have the greatest imagination. That staircase is a work of Art. The idea for the entry way I'm sure gave many ideas of their own. The buffets in the dining room, pure genius. The only thing I'd want to change would be the tile underneath the buffet. I'm not sure what I'd do with them, but it looks too dated for your home.
    The shutter in the kitchen, haha, I didn't even think about how different that looked till you took the shutter away. Your children are fortunate to have you.

      Love your ideas ❤️ I just found your You Tube channel a couple days ago. I am getting caught up on some of your videos. I do some similar things in my home too. I use lots of mirrors to open up the space to give the illusion of a bigger brighter room, tall ceilings and bounce light off of. Except I have a much smaller budget. (I could have so much fun if I won the lottery! 💰😁) I purchased an antique credenza had a custom counter top made for it (and I put on myself underneath it hidden, 4 large industrial wheels so I can move it around). I use it for my kitchen island for additional storage and had the custom counter top made with it extending out further on one side where I have 3 matching barstools, to use for additional seating. I have a large flower arrangement, 2 tier fruit rack and candle on it. Works perfect in my open concept apartment for extra storage and seating. The space really needed something there just looked ackward without anything there. Wish I could change and add ceiling lights, but can't so I use wall sconces and added a light to my huge painting. Love the bedroom closet of mirrors and your large wall mirror in the living room.

      Аccording to Feng Shua theory, to have a mirror opposite the front door is a failure, or to be more precise, all the positive energy that enters the house is reflected in the mirror and returns back. Looks like Rebecca broke this theory.

We are kind people so we won't be nearly as harsh on you as you were on this woman. Will that be a problem for your mom you think? Will she only let you film the basement where you troll the internet with your bitterness all day? If so we will still give it a fair assessment. Okay tag us all when you're done, see you soon, parting is such sweet sorrow...

      sheila my best friend Damaris has had several cooking shows on Food Network and The Food Channel, and because of the way the kitchen needs to be set up for filming she couldn't do the shows in her own home. The networks had to place an ad for kitchens in our area (we live in Louisville Ky) that met the criteria the show needed. Turns out the kitchen they chose was really nice but wasn't like MTV cribs crazy or anything. The couple said they just finished remodeling last month so the timing was perfect. I didn't ask but they just told me that they spent about 125 thousand dollars on that remodel!!!! I seriously almost fell out of my chair. The kicker is she couldn't believe the deal they got 😂 she thought for sure it would be around 200 G's! I knew we were in a nice neighborhood, but I left there wondering how much are these frickin houses if they'd put 200 grand in just their kitchen alone...That's about what my whole house cost haha! Sorry for the long story but I thought that crap was crazy!

    Guy guys, (expand to read this whole comment) I have been reading and responding to a lot of your comments and thought I probably should mention something... especially to new viewers who are not familiar with my channel. I haven't re-decorated since putting my Christmas Decorations away. Its a matter of 2 things. I'm very busy with Design projects, RUclips filming and The Design Sessions...but more importantly, I'm changing theme direction right now so I'm living with bare walls and little to no accessories for a time... I'm thinking about it, visualizing where I want to go next ...LOL
    Let me attach 2 links for you to see what my house has looked like. One of the beachy theme I have had for a few years

      Really? When did San Diego become affordable? I'd LOVE to be able to own such a huge house in San Diego! Love that city. As for her interior design in THIS video--IMHO, very perplexing. Alternating from the sublime to the repulsive. I don't think I've seen such extremes in a single designer. The sublime stuff's enough to keep me hooked, of course. (But just leaning that shutter against your kitchen backsplash? Can't you at least mount it? And it really isn't so expensive to remove the extra hearth. I mean, if you're in a position to buy real estate in San Diego, you should be able to afford a minor reno like that. Not in love with the lower-key closet door, either. So, the kitchen, and I didn't care for the dining room fixes--those two rooms looked collegiate, somehow, compared to the rest of what you did. Everything else was awesome, though! Inspiring, which is what you intended. Thank you. Always enjoy your videos.

You are so inspiring, and with most of my kiddos starting their own homes now, I actually can't wait to see what I can do to make my home lovely and not just functional. The practical side of homeschooling all these years has taken its toll on the "loveliness factor". I ESPECIALLY love your linen closet and glass doors upstairs. I am trying to figure out how I can approximate that on my single income shoestring budget. So thank you, thank you, thank you for giving me pause to (re-re-re-)consider how I might make my home a lovely haven (and not just a school...) Blessings to you! :) :) :)

    I've watched this video several times, yet, each time I watch it again, I still think that mirror is actually the entrance into another room. I have to purposely detach my attention from what I think in my head that it is and convince myself it's a mirror.
    Also, adding that molding under the ceiling in the the entrance --- brilliant idea. It really makes you see it as higher than it really is.
    LOVE the way the iron staircase widens at the bottom. What a difference it makes. Yep. Chopping the legs off those chests of drawers, ... again, brilliant. The fact that you can re attach them, makes it even better. The mirror covered closet doors ---- ahhhhh, gorgeous. Makes that room look twice as big.

      You are so welcome. This video continues to amaze me. It’s probably my most watched home decor video on RUclips. Over 7 million people have watched it and all I want to do is say...
      NNNOOO ... watch my luxury home reveals... not this one!
      I have home tours of multimillion dollar homes you should watch... why are you drawn to this video? It’s probably my least “produced” least impressive video on RUclips... yet the most watched 🤷🏻‍♀️
      I think it’s this... my California tract home is relatable. Not so fancy and definitely not very impressive... more people relate to my home than my client projects where millionaires can afford anything... anytime.
      So for that, I’m glad I had my cameraman pick up his camera that day and follow me around my house the day we filmed this video. No script, no motive.... just organic sharing of the few things I did when we bought our home way back when.
      You’all expect my home to look like my clients homes... truth is, my home looks more like yours than you might have though before watching this video.
      Bottom line... I BELIEVE... A beautiful home has the power to change your life... I know this at my core and I’ve observed it for over 30 years now... 😘 IT’S TRUE

When you see the before and after pictures, it is almost impossible to fathom that this is the same house. It also underscores that a house does not have to be a mansion to be greatly improved by understanding the elements of good design. For my own life, I have had to scale back some of the ideas for a much smaller home, but the whole idea of how "the wow factor" can make a difference is what this video has brought to life for me.

    Just revisiting this video after 6 years. The iron work, the IKEA hack, cutting the back legs of furniture to fit, and etc.. 😍
    You definitely were ahead of time with ideas and problem solving.
    You probably still are, but the rest of the world won’t know till another 6 years from now 🥰
    Wishing you all the best.

    My favorite by far was that staircase. I know it was pricey, but it's so beautiful. Job well done.
