Junk Room Turned Cozy, Bright Family Room Makeover | Living Room Ideas | The Home Primp

- Do you have a corner (or, let’s face it - a room) in your house that’s reserved for things you just don’t have anywhere else to store? We’re here to help. In this week’s Home Primp, we collaborated with lifestyle vlogger Elle Lindquist whose loft space was a cluttered dumping ground without any real function. She wanted a space where her family could kick back and relax and also double as a place for guests to stay overnight. After getting rid of the pool and foosball table, there was such a bright, open space for us to work with. We set out to create a living room/guest room/playroom hybrid.
Using removable wallpaper, Alexandra created an accent wall. She also hung a mantle that belonged to Elle’s dad, which instantly made the space feel more like a living room.
And can we talk about that couch?! This brought the primp’s cost up but for a couch that folds down into a double bed for guests, $400 is a pretty sweet deal.
Alexandra used an Ikea bookshelf as a window seat and storage unit in the boys’ play area. She turned fabric plant pots (!) that cost $4 embellished with pom poms (what else) into baskets to organize their toys.
The result? A few key items turned this storage space into a beautiful, bright and airy living room - for under $1000.

Alexandra is the best!
I love the kids shelf!
Lindquist crew 4+ years strong!
Looking good.. From Elle's channel.. Much love from Anthony NM.
The room looks absolutely wonderful. I really like the design. I’ve been watching the Lindquist’s for three years now. I cannot believe it’s been that long. I really enjoy watching their family grow.
Yvonne Dancy yes! & in case no one said it today you are amazing
Looks great! I wish I had the vision to transform my small apartment so well and so cheaply! This space will be so useful and used!
From Elle lindquist channel and omg that looks so good.
Came from the Lindquist crew. This looks so great and it definitely has the Elle vibe. Fits right in with the rest of the house!
My jaw just dropped when I saw this! Love the Lindquist! So cool to see you guys collaborate!
My fav was the “Be still my soul” art!
Here from Elle's channel. The room turned out so well!
this was a DREAM to be a part of! Thanks for transforming my space!!! When are you coming back?!?!
I love that Market Day made an appearance!
Oh Elle, it is GORGEOUS!!! Love the wallpaper and the sunny little playspace for the boys! Perfect!
So where did the pool table ho to die?
I love this series!!! Gimme more!!
Team Lindquist! loved the transformation! Much needed revamp
Awesome job! I'm here from Elle's channel and looking forward to seeing more of your channel!!
Coming from Elle’s channel! Love that couch and dresser!
So glad Elle has finally got the loft she wanted and not just a messy man cave! But I swear they already got a very similar couch-bed from Canadian tire after the flood so why didn’t they just use that as they are so similar?! Xxx
This was so cool. I'm a fan now!
part of the Lindquist crew lol!
Alexandra is amazing! Love the results! My favorite area is the kids area! That carpet tho 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Thanks so much! I've moved channels. Check out my new one!
Coming over from Elle's channel. Love the way it came out. I'm obsessed with the cactus print wallpaper!
I certainly like the couch 👍
Loved this video
Great space revival! I’m part of “Elle’s crew”. Love watching her. You did a fab job on the wall decals.
Wow it looks amazing 😉 coming from Elle’s RUclips channel #goodmorninggoodmorning
Came from the Lindquist crew!! You guys did an awesome job and i love Ford at the end 😂 to cute!!
So awesome! I also came from Elle's channel 😉
I really love that couch and the wall-paper! Great job!
Coming from Elle's channel! You've done a beautiful makeover in the loft. Very inspiring.
Coming from The Lindquist's. I can't believe what you did with the man cave. It looks great!
Beautiful! Well done! I love the wall paper!
Looks awesome! I came from Elle's channel as well!!
So cool 😎
Coming from Elle’s channel
Here from Elle’s channel; looks amazing! You really nailed her style, it looks like she did it herself :) great job
Alexandra needs to make more videos. She's very good. I subscribed only for her content..
Jiji El Yes we love her content
Thanks so much! I've moved channels. Check out my new one!
Oh my gosh Sameeeee
From the Lindquists! Great job with the space 😍
Nice spaxe but you could have done it for less than $100 if you searched at thrift stores and garage sales. I’m glad you used some things that were already there, and i appreciate the curtain separating dan’s space. But if i had $1000 lying around well, it would go much further than 1 room. What happened to the couch bed canadian tire gave you after the flood? Anyway, great ideas but for those on smaller budgets, we can mimic them for much cheaper. Thanks.
Melinda Johnson, Lilla Rose Independent Stylist lets say 500 dollars if you want a good couch
a big part of the cost was that beautiful couch that doubles as a bed!
You could have gotten a couch like that secondhand on Facebook marketplace for $700
Chatelaine hey, yes, my biggest tip is patience! I use sites like freecycle.org, Craigslist and Facebook marketplace. You can go to habitat for humanity’s physical store called ReStore and I know they have those in Canada. And just ask around. Watch for “curb alerts” on Facebook groups and go to community garage sales. I’m not very picky about scratches and debts bc with 4 kids, there will be more. I got this gorgeous writers desk with a roll top and huge drawers for $50 last year in prime condition. Those things sell for like $500 or more. And I do my shopping from home mostly, so I don’t see many bargains in store. My other tip is just to be flexible with what style of furniture you want if you are going to be thrifty. I have preferences, but am willing to have my mind changed if I see something. I hardly buy anything brand new. I’m a homeschooling mom, and don’t bring in any income so we have learned to live within a budget most wouldn’t even try. It’s just our reality. I’d rather spend $500 on field trips through the year than on a new couch. What you put together is lovely and somewhat thrifty. I would buy cheaper picture frames at Walmart or meijer for example instead of going to Michaels or hobby lobby. I hope the boys are enjoying their new space though. And again, I love how Dans stuff is cornered off and Elle can’t see how disorganized it is. The man needs his own space sometimes to suit his personality. I’m glad you had fun putting it together. Enjoy!
I like these home primp videos but sometimes I feel like I'm watching ppl pay way too much for way too little
Hi from a Lindquist crew member! Nice job! Lovely wallpaper, it's so Elle. 😍
Seeing what you did with L space was amazing I am from her channel and Also have subscribed to your channel
Came from elle linquist channel! Love it!
Great on the Linq loft
Huge fan of Elle's channel and I just love this
That wallpaper is too adorable!
Calida Yes it is! And you are awesome
It annoys me that they don’t include everything they purchase. That dresser cost $300+ and that is not so budget friendly so they just take it out
I understand that as well but most families do no have an extra dresser just hang out without a proper home. This family didn’t
Try Mr. Kate’s RUclips channel. Their room makeover episodes are both inspiring and extremely budget-friendly ✨I’m hooked!
The play area and the kids art idea was MIND BLOWING!!!! How do you come up with these amazing budget friendly & cool ideas?
it's become a favourite place for the boys!
To style a room: buy all the same type of accessories at HomeGoods, print off the same kind of art, use gray and pink, rinse & repeat.
It would be cool to see different styles instead of just the Tumblr chic stuff.
i like her...cute girl
Absolutely love it! I've come from The Lindquist Crew! ♥️👍😍 I absolutely love the wallpaper & plant! What was it called again?!
❤❤❤
Is there any videos about using drills for girls in an easy way cause I don't know how to use it
#marketday!!!
Is this sofa comfortable? I think one has to be on a budget but I think that the sofa is the most important thing in this space if you have a family. I love your videos but this is a matter that I'm concerned 🤔
Hi! Lovely primping!! Can you help? I can't find the sofa on Structube...? Please advise. Thanks!!
Chatelaine, thank you!! My apologies! I looked and looked, but I guess there was still so much more I didn't as yet see. You are a gem to reply so quickly and with the link. I appreciate it! Happy primping! Looking forward to more of your wonderful work!
Can you do other styles as well? I like the show but your other styles would be interesting
What is “L”? You keep mentioning L.
Be still
M' soul
I have 3 boys it last 3srconds;))))))
I don't know. I watched several makeover videos on this channel and none of them is really good. Why pink? Do pink, green and yellow really work together? Well, not in this case. Couch doesn't look comfy and those throw pillows... They don't match at all. You should mountain The curtains a little higher so the window looks bigger. I also have a question about the floor lamp. There's no sitting area near the lamp,so why bother yourself buying it? Why didn't you place it by the couch? It's not functional. The whole design looks weird and cheap, and it's for 1000$. If I paid for it I would ask my money back.
Not including the dresser in the price doesn't make much sense to me but I get the idea behind it. I like the final look but I'd be afraid of the boys standing on that pouf and climbing onto that half wall which I assume is a steep drop over the stairs?
CCBeanzzz I didn’t understand that, either. I thought perhaps it was owned by the Linquist family, but watching further I thought not. So, I still don’t get it. (My son has his TV on the dresser in his living room! I guess he’s quite trendy!! 😊😉)
Nan Branham we have a dresser for a tv stand as well!
Hello, we want to cooperate with you
be still *m* soul?
This could've been done for less than $300. Maybe even $100.
Wth is w that wall paper? R u at a tex mex restaurant? Would make sense...aint nothin alexandra doesnt eat. And wow have u seen her lately? Put down the fork lady.
It's too girly the pink balls I'd of done boy and what they liked
