Andrew, there are so many things i want to say. . . I love your beautiful spirit, and watching you this year has always been a highlight of any day you drop a video. I love your work, I enjoyed all of your videos and the work you have done. What i love the most is that you normalize thrifted-recycled-reclaimed materials for your home and art. Your rooms have so much of you in them and i love that! I watch the big DIY shows, and I love Magnolia. . .but those rooms always look like instillations and you don’t see the people in them. My whole house has a bohemian quality and it is the result of 40 years of living, traveling, thrifting, inheriting and antiquing as well as creating (i am a costume designer and avid quilter) and this curating over a lifetime (weather it is 10 years or 40) makes your home unique to you. You have elevated this way of life to a new level and i hope more people will follow you. Go in peace, and i hope the new year is as beautiful as your spirit is.
Thank you so much for your kind thoughts! I absolutely agree that homes should reflect the people in them… partly because we should feel comfortable and reflected there and partly because it makes for much more unique spaces!
Andrew, Yes, you have worked VERY hard. I understand that filming and editing is laborious, tedious, time consuming, etc. I LOVE you and your channel. And it looks like I am not alone. Not only the most creative, but most cost effective.
I love your little chat about making mistakes. I feel just the same - it IS possible to plan and pull something off perfectly so it can be frustrating when that’s not the case with every single thing in your life. What’s not possible is to have absolutely in everything in life be perfect and the obsession with perfection can be crippling and anxiety inducing
About the range hood: it’s reminiscent of a chimney, and to my mind, is beautiful and unique-unique because of the material you used. You can certainly add art, either two or three dimensional, to it and not lose that sense.
Love your honesty and transparency! you forgot to mention your AMAZING workspace! I feel it is 100 % your style! full of asymmetry, creativity, and old things reimagined! The essence of reissued!! Thanks for sharing!
I think my favorite has to be the bathroom with the painted wall paper. But I love all the projects you've done. You're such a perfectionist, that's your best asset and also your biggest challenge. So sad to hear that your Dad's car way totaled, but very glad he's ok. Can't wait to see what you do in 2024. Congratulatons for all you've achieved so far.
What I love about your videos is that you don't chase trends. That's a race you'll never win and who cares anyway? Being snarky about trends can be fun though! Happy holidays and thank you for making 2023 brighter by sharing your journey with us.
i found you from your Kitchen video. your creativity is what drew me in. I have a few favs: Your studio makeover was so so cool, but also your making art to go sell was also rad to see the behind the scenes of a working artist, and lastly your guest bathroom, what a stunning room!
9:44 I discovered your channel through your kitchen reveal video! And I’m so glad that I did. I love your approach to thoughtful and creative decor which makes use of existing materials while infusing your space with personality.
I might be your only follower that has not watched the kitchen video, so i am going to do tgat right now. Also.....there is nothing wrong with creating couture bespoke halloeen costumes for your dog. In my life i have accepted that there are times where your just 'too hip for the room'. Your bigest success is your excitement and thoughtfullness for the process, and how well you present yourself. I have a feeling that you have created a quite loyal following and predict great things to come. In closing, i was not expecting another video from you this year, so finding this today on my birthday was a great treat, smiled the whole way through seeing so much zeal for my projects reflected in you. Keep up the great work Sir. As they say, The Best is Yet to Come !
i think all your projects are great ,some not so but all very helpful and you just keep doing what you thanks . and have a wonderful Christmas and New Year
This is why we LOVE your content. Its not the same stuff . You take us on a Journey every week. Idea for some future video. Fix the F ups. Not that you need to. I adore your thoughtfulness and why you are doing what you are doing. The new Stash is looking great. Bless your Dads car. Thank you so very much for this video. Merry Christmas. Love from Canada
Great job all around Andrew! I have really enjoyed your genuine, humble approach to everything you do. Hats off to your parents! You are so blessed to have them beside you in your endeavors. Merry Merry Christmas to you all! ❤
*Pivot* . Being willing an able to pivot when necessary is game changing. I'm am INFJ personality type. I dream BIG on a TINY budget. I'm grateful for also being practical. Andrew, I've enjoyed your content since subscribing. Your creativity, values, and talent go into everything you do. You are a refreshing soul. Stay the course.
Love your videos and especially your art work and hand painted wall paper, and kitchen and... Keep up the excellent work. I look forward to each new video! Merry Christmas & the best for 2024!
Comments really help your algorithm so I leave as many as possible. Threads of arguments are the best, but don't want to start that. As an architect/landscape architect/artist, I have some comments and am jealous that you can get some negative critiques. Those are the most constructive. Most people are afraid to be rude, but if they can point out something I overlooked, or just ugly, I am grateful. I believe people are tired of the polished vids, your rough cut approach is so much more interesting, AND REAL. I am struggling to understand interiors, I thought with a strong design background it would be very easy, it is not for me. I find it almost impossible to not to be biased by trends. Some channels, and you know who they are, money is no object. I cannot just order the perfect thing I need. So, it is a matter of analyzing exactly what I don't like about what I have, then figure out if I can make it work. I get really lucky sometimes but have my share of failures. The most striking thing you've done is the 1/2 bath sink against that crocodile wall paper. The tension or juxtaposition there is the thing that makes it so interesting. I like your workroom a lot and most other things but that one thing is genius.
I’ve been following you for quite awhile this year and have commented several times. I feel you are an old soul. I’m drawn to everything you do and am so impressed with what you’ve achieved. You remind me of my best friend, he lives in an 1890’s beautiful Richardsonian Romanesque building in Denver Co. He has the insight and passion that you do. Anyway, I love your house and use of color, design and imagination. It’s such a precious home, even from the outside. Your kitchen is Fab, the hood over the stove is great and yes it tall and I’m sure you will figure out what changes will work to maybe break up the height of it. I see you as a perfectionist and I understand what can drive someone like you nuts. I am a full blown perfectionist myself, so I understand. Your studio, bedroom, front porch are great. The carpet tile rug is interesting and maybe you just haven’t found the right place for it. You mentioned that you move things around a lot and I can relate to that because I own a home full of antiques and found treasures that I shift around quite often. It’s taken me years to feel comfortable about with where it is now. I finally after many years feel that my home is dialed in. Second guessing decisions is something I’m sure you deal with too. I’m a fan of Joanna Gaines as well , but I’m obsessed with everything…decorating, art and design too. Your inspirations come from great places. And like myself you appreciate design from generations as long as it’s good design. I live with antiques , but also love modern. Oh, and incidentally I love the wooden fruit 🍎 🍇 .. I also love the relationship you have with your parents and I adore little Queenie too. It’s fun and a pleasure to watch what you’ve achieved and will continue to do. Keep calm and carry on. 🌈
All of your projects were really inspirational this year, Andrew, and I'm so glad I found your channel. However, your fine art projects are the ones that most inspired me to keep creating (and try to sell) my own art, and I'm so very glad that I have one of your pieces hanging in my house now. It's hung at the top of my stairs and I just love it.
If I do a painting and feel iffy about it, then I take a pic and put it as wallpaper on my screen. Constant glimpses at it help me figure out the problems. Looking at it upside down also helps a lot. Range hood. The shape and high contrast make it the focal point of the room (judging from the pics). The stark change from plaster walls to wood slats enhance the contrast. An exhaust fan should not upstage everything else. Possible solutions: paint it the same color as the walls, ceiling color might be better? Maybe continue the upper horizontal wall trim strip around it, then paint the top the ceiling color? Then break it again with the door trim at the door height? Add some bold things, thin shiny things on either side of it, too bad no space for shelves. Just throwing out ideas, but making it look like it is a built in part of the room would help minimize it visually. The best I can come up with ATM is: to wrap that upper section with that same wall trim at that height. Fill that in smooth so it looks like part of the wall and paint it the ceiling color. At the top of the door height, extend that door trim around it, use the wall color on that part to the upper trim. You could add that wreath or clock to this middle section to repeat the top of the blue hutch. Bottom, use a thin shelf/plate rail from the door all the way around to the other wall and use some plates, or whatever. This "seems like" it would minimize it and integrate it into the room. IDK.
The kitchen video was the first Reissued video to show up on my feed of DIY interests. The unique, thrifty upcycled projects are what keeps me hooked on your videos. I'm here to see your creativity flow in whatever projects you share with us. Thanks for all your hard work this year. Excited to see what 2024 brings!😻
Haha the new camera and the strategic lighting I think! Also, I look SO tired and stressed in all the flashback footage… happy to be less stressed and more joyful and balanced these days
I also agree with your idea about hanging art on the range hood, just to break up the monstrosity of it. But you have to be careful that the grease and oil molecules don't float up onto the art. And, depending on what kind of stuff you cook, I would discourage hanging anything between the range and the range hood. They're grease catchers.
Absolutely! Not planning to hang any art between range and range hood for sure. And for the art on the hood, I’m definitely planning to do something framed that can be wiped down easily 🙌🏻
I have to say, as this video progressed you appeared more and more comfortable with your comments. They flowed quite easy, it was a pleasure to watch. This was good. Cheers.
Hi Andrew! Yes kitchen videos, I would pick those as my favorites because they're how I found you 🙂. Love all your videos though including Halloween Couture 😉 . I prefer 'flat' paint. So many existing glossy finishes are in your bathroom already so I feel the flat contrast and a lack of sheen is needed {at least that's how it comes across to me through video}. A bathroom can tend to read/feel cold and unwelcoming with overabundance of shiny surfaces. I like the classic formula of 'color, pattern, texture, shine' . Washer/dryer perfect as they are, I like how they are juxtaposed to nearby warm dark wood element and soft frosted un-shiny glass to balance out the glossy white metal and cream. Indeed annoying put a lot of time into a project, then have it not turn out. Again, wishing you your parents and Queenie a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year 2024!
Great point about the mix of finishes and textures in the bathroom… so maybe I’m wrong… I still think the look might be more elevated with a hint of sheen though 😉 Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts this year! ❤️
As far as the bath wall glazing quandary, Andrew, I would certainly create a sample before attacking the actual wall. You could use a 2 ft square piece of wall board which would allow you to test 4ea. 1-foot squares before settling on your choice. I think your goals as a YT Vlogger should drive your downloaded projects. If your vlogs are an expression of your life via your projects, then the view counts should not be an issue. Not all submissions have to be 'Princess' projects. If your goal is to use YT as a primary income source, then yes, the view numbers will matter, and you would probably need to be more selective about your vlogs submissions and their editing. Personally, I tend to be more attracted to organically produced content. While I will occasionally subscribe to heavily produced content, those channels are usually the first ones I get bored with and eventually unsubscribe. (blah, blah, blah) Anyhoo, Cheers for a great winter holiday and a brighter new year in 2024. 🥳🍾
I love your unique 'reissued' art pieces and I'm sure that the acrylic wash to add an aged look works well in that context, but putting an amber wash in the bathroom surrounded by so much bright white tile seems like it wouldn't be a good mix imo. Happy 2024...can't wait for more reissued goodness!
I love watching your project videos.I seldom start a project,because I am someone who thinks emptying the dishwasher the day it stops running instead of waiting 5 or 6 days is a major accomplishment.You give me hope for a more productive life.Oh,woe is me.
Glad you finally got a better camera. Sound is good without all the highs and lows. Thanks for a great year of videos. Your personal artwork projects are my favourite and it’d be nice to see “big boy” Andrew do more diys without mommy and daddy.
Don’t second guess, Andrew! The range hood is dope! Chasing trends is like chasing your tail! It never ended! Love your style and your imagination is off the charts! Merry Christmas and best wishes for a healthy, happy and prosperous New Year for you and your family !❤️ hey, would the olive rug look good in your studio! Somehow i feel that it would suit the warm wood vibe in there. Maybe under the desk?
Hi Andrew, wow, so much I could comment on. It's great reflective content. If I have to pick 1 thing it would be PLEASE don't start doing "trends" videos, but also, please don't stop reflecting on how they affect your process. 😅🙏 It's so hard to find channels that don't push trends down your throat. While doing my own renovations, I am trying not to let trends affect my decisions - no easy task because it's everywhere. Re-issued is You Tube channel of the year - well done, you should be so proud of everything you've achieved. What's 2024 going to bring?
Aw you are so amazing Gabby! You are spot on about trends… I’m never gonna follow them or encourage anyone else to. However, I do believe it can be helpful to discuss how they are affecting my decisions and possibly to offer advice about which trends might age well or mix nicely into a more timeless look. As for 2024 projects, my next video will be a house tour where I walk through and discuss upcoming projects!
I've enjoyed watching your journey through your videos. Your candid approach and willingness to be vulnerable with your viewers are refreshing, and I appreciate you are comfortable acknowledging where there were bumps or potholes along the way. Understanding your thought process makes you more relatable. Moreover, it prepares viewers for their struggles if your videos inspire them. I’m glad your Dad is recovering from his accident. Happy Holidays and Best Wishes for 2024!
I found you with the stained glass video. So many cool ideas, very inspiring. Yes home fatigue, thought it was just me. I found that repurposing something from one room to another usually does the trick. Keep up the good work.
Aw, your Halloween costume video of Queenie was so cute, I'm surprised it didn't do better! ... I liked your "kitchen trends" video, too. Partially because the comment I left on it got hundreds of likes! I've never made a comment on RUclips that went viral before!
Very interesting to hear your review. I am anti-trend myself. I have loved everything you did. Annoying about nobody using the powder room but it's gorgeous so who cares. My favourite is the black and white bathroom and your wallpaper. If you need more warmth can you get that with a change of bulb/lighting? I like the stark black and white it's so art deco but I don't have to use it of course. I like a free standing TP holder, on mine you stack spare rolls on the pole. Your kitchen is fabulous too. Honestly I'd move in and change nothing 👏👏👏. Thanks for all the videos Andrew. Looking forward to seeing what you (and your folks) get up to in 2024 and RIP the car🚗🖤
I found your channel during the front porch. Makeover and i've loved every episode i've seen I don't always agree with every choice that you make. However I love your vision in the way you see things As for the dresser and the legs Is a reinterpretation of something that's gone on for hundreds and maybe thousands of years the closer legs with either. An arch a curve Or a scroll and I'll love your interpretation of it Is great you are not the first one to do something like this So for all the naysayers spend more time looking around the world at different things. In different countries and health things are done. Um you will be open to a plethora of new things I have not traveled the entire world. But I have traveled to many different countries and have loved learning and finding different ways to think and find things in different directions. Don't stay in the same box
I actually really like the tile rug with the table and chairs on it, but I can also see why it could be hard to style. Found you from the kitchen video (I think, it was a while ago)
Merry Christmas to your parents, and Queenie and You too I guess ;) I think your kitchen video was my favourite video of the year, not only because it was an awesome video, but it was the first video of yours I saw, and introduced me to you. And ok, here goes . . . as for making mistakes . . . you do not have the life experience to look at a project and know what all to do in what steps to have it turn out perfect. I'm twice your age (or at least was till your most recent birthday and have been building and making all my life, and I'll let you in on a secret, I don't have the life experience either! If you knew me in person, and we ever worked on a project and asked if something would work, chances are I'd say "Let's try it and see" We learn more from our failures than we do our successes, (and man I've learned lots . . .) the trick is to learn to say OK, it's done, next time I'll do it like this. And trends . . . trends are nice to know, they act like a barometer give an indication of what's going on, and what's coming, but in the end, for some of us they are more a 'map?' to our style, not the destination, I've been in my house since the mid 1980s . . . some of my design style has come and gone at least 4 times in that period . . . anyway I guess that's about it, looking forward to what the new year brings from you, and I'll keep watching and making inane comments to help out the algorithm.
Great year end wrap up! I found you this year through the hand painted wallpaper vid, loved that project and subscribed. I’ll admit I’m partial to the home reno, but really enjoy the shopping and art as well. I have shared the office space vid a bunch, and not just because of the shout out 😂! You are officially my “artsy reno guy on RUclips” and I look forward to whatever you’ve got planned for next year.
For the sheen on the bathroom wall, I think it's a great idea esp. since br usually have satin sheen paint. I suggest you make a test panel on plywood to test colors and number of coats .
Hello Andrew! what a year! YES I found you through the kitchen video and i also don't like or follow trends. As it happens I was also doing my kitchen (have an old shack) and I am in favour of an Un-kitchen. I didn't want my kitchen to look the way a kitchen is thought of these days. That is why your videos are so interesting to me, I am interested in exploring ways of doing things that speak to me. You keep doing that in every video and it is like a lesson for me everyday on how that process happens. I have showed your video to a few friends and they all liked you the same way too. It is watching you and who you are that stands out in your videos. Your creative personal process is fantastic.
I really appreciate all that you have accomplished and your honest appraisal of everything. You have been an inspiration to me. Thank you. PS I for one LOVED the doggy haute couture!
Honestly I think your willingness to post parts of projects, things that haven’t gone as exactly as planned and choices you might now make differently is why your channel is gaining traction…it’s real life diy. Seeing only perfectly finished rooms and successful projects can be a discouraging. Seeing the real process, 😢warts and all, is helpful to me to just get over myself and get started 👍🏼
Love a lot of your videos, I'm here for the art, but love the renovations, thrifting and DIY. I found you through Flanzella collab and have watched ever since. My passion is watching creative people creating things so your stuff fits the bill all the time- I also appreciate you saying what didn't work or you don't like because fake perfect is boring. Merry Christmas and looking forward to more fun ideas next year!
Yes, glazing is the first thing that came to my mind when you said the bird wallpaper is too flat! Regarding the shampoo dispenser etc. you could go a middle way and buy some soap/shampoo in a nice bottle and fill that up over & over. A brown glass, apothecary looking one for example. Regarding trends: I'd love to hear your opinion/perspective on different interior (and other) stuff. What also interests me a long time (is that a sentence?) is your view/opinion on the stars and stripes /what it means to you.
I love your channel and art work! What a great year in review! Your channel will continue to grow in 2024! I’m 62 yo female in Scotland and love your work even tho my taste is different. You and your parents are a delight to watch! Hope your dad is ok after accident! All the best for the holiday season and 2024 - keep doing you! I’m inspired to do some art because of you! ❤
Andrew, what a nice Year In Reissued Review. Hands down, I love any video with Mom, Dad and, of course, Queenie. I like the relationship between you and your Parents. Wishing you all a Very Merry Christmas! Cheers - Don
I think it' good for perfectionists to encounter unforeseen obstacles and be forced to reevaluate sometimes. I think you're doing such a fantastic job and I really didn't see any of your "fails" as fails. Always love seeing what you'll come up with next.
Andrew you're so creative, I love the way you pivot when you run into problems. Love your thrifting and art vids also. Merry Christmas from Sydney Australia
Even if there are some imperfections in your projects, you must look at the whole picture. What I have learned is that the important thing is to go into a room and feel good about it or even pause for a second and say to yourself "what a beautiful space I have created ". Anyway, have a lovely holiday a I wish you a beautiful and fulfilling new year ❤
Won't darkening your walls make them look dirty since they are against the white tile? Interior designers' solution would be to warm it up with wood and earth colored pastels. You could try that? BTW. I thought of some solutions to hide your washer and dryer, one might work?
You are probably a perfectionist, and you see things that the rest of us don’t see, I like your design work, being an artist myself I get how you can fuss over every detail, especially colours. Great job your house looks so original and fantastic.
Thank you for the unexpected Christmas treat! That hand-painted wallpaper is my favorite, and any tampering would elicit a shriek from Texas you could hear clear to Georgia. But then again, Leonardo tweaked the Mona Lisa the rest of his days, so who am I to scold an artist? I tune in to see YOU, as well as what you've been up to, and I am never disappointed. Obviously, I'm not alone. As a performer, you are aware of every misstep, but your audience only sees the magic and the beauty. Consider the occasional stumble as tuition for RUclips U. Glad your Dad is okay. Thanks again and have a Merry Merry!
Your kitchen video was the first one I saw and knew that I wanted to see more. Love your style it's similar to mine but more masculine in a way. Regarding hanging your own art and seeing the flaws I find that part of the fun and learning for the next piece, to analyse it over time and see what works and not. And if you end up hating something you can always change it out or change the painting itself
First, I’m so glad your dad is ok! Car accidents are scary. Andrew, you have put so much work into your channel and it shows. I happen to be one of your viewers who absolutely loves everything you do and the creativity and vision you possess. I’m living in my condo for 3 years and still unsure where to hang art, furniture placement, why did I buy this, and the list goes on. I believe that’s where trying to get it perfect sabotages me 😂. I will embrace being perfectly imperfect for 2024. You’re an inspiration and I look forward to your beautiful videos.
I relate to this so much! I say move around what you have, hang the art that you love, and see what happens! You can always make changes but finding those initial starting points - a piece of furniture, a color, a pattern - can give you something to go off. I know how hard it is to start from a blank canvas!
I subscribed to you after seeing your kitchen renovation, I love your ability to put together found objects and recycled materials. This transcends any trend or fashion and gives a space a timeless, unique feel. My home is nearly completely furnished with thrifted items. My friends love my home and tell me it feels warm and homely, which is exactly how I try to make it. As an artist, my living areas are full of my work, and I kind of treat it like an open studio/gallery. I’m happy when I sell one, because it makes room for another, and the space is constantly changing. Keep up the great work; it’s a rare thing to find someone’s taste that resonates so much with mine!
I caught one pf your art episodes sometime a go. Today you popped up due to a search I did. I love how down to earth and human you are. And yes, change your mind often as you will, you are clearly many things Andrew but not generic! I am now going to start watching everything you have put up! Cheers, Loved it.
Your painted "wallpaper" is already at the next level. A clear finish over it so it still matches the tiled area below it would be great, and might protect the paint from moisture. But if you glaze it a color, glaze the tile,too.
Hi Andrew, Your kitchen is beautiful! I have the exact same stove,. I love how level it is with the counters. I cannot get mine level with the counters! Any thoughts would be helpful 😊
Hey Bonnie! I seem to remember that this was a big “to-do” when we installed the stove and the counters… to make the heights work. I’m pretty sure we ended up having to shim up the countertops since the feet on the range could not come high enough 😱
Loved the retrospective and just want to say I LOVED the dog costume video! I’m not going to make a costume for my dog, but loved watching you do it. There’s a market!
Happy Holidays, Andrew! I appreciate that you do not follow trends but express and explore your style. Everything looks wonderful: the colors, geometry, artwork, and balance. Youd did clever and aesthetic work such as the pass-through to the living room and the use of cleats in the office. The geometric rug experiment reminds me of my earlier attempts at making images with fabric. Making the triangles and etcetera fit is tricky. Of all your re-examination of "reissues," you had clear insights that were also helpful to us. In response to request for feedback, please do not put sepia or burnt sienna on the bathroom mural. You can try a clear coat first and live with that for a while. That said, what a great year you have shared with us! Thank you.
Just so you (and everyone else) know, a mid tone basic gray was VERY in c 1908-14. I lived in a house where it was under the 6th layer of paint/ wallpaper. I found a skinny pinstripe gray and white paper in fabulous shape (though so old it was brittle). ❤keep doing you
Happy holidays! I love your aesthetic, so I have no criticisms😊. Planning is great and nobody wants to make mistakes, of course, but for me, if I'm too focused on those things they just flatten out creativity and ingenuity. BTW, I wrote a while ago that I made a grafiti wall, if you're interested in how it turned out, let me know how to send you pics. I'm really happy with it! Thank
Yes, the fruit! The hand painted wallpaper is just so stunning, it's incredible that you did that yourself. It's my favorite, and that's saying a lot cause there are a lot of fantastic projects you've tackled this year. Definitely test the glaze first!😅Oh, and don't talk about trends, just own your gray
I totally understand about the creative process and being critical of every imperfection, real or perceived. If you figure out how to really do that, put it in a video. That will go viral for sure. The perfectionist struggle is no joke!
Andrew, there are so many things i want to say. . . I love your beautiful spirit, and watching you this year has always been a highlight of any day you drop a video. I love your work, I enjoyed all of your videos and the work you have done. What i love the most is that you normalize thrifted-recycled-reclaimed materials for your home and art. Your rooms have so much of you in them and i love that! I watch the big DIY shows, and I love Magnolia. . .but those rooms always look like instillations and you don’t see the people in them. My whole house has a bohemian quality and it is the result of 40 years of living, traveling, thrifting, inheriting and antiquing as well as creating (i am a costume designer and avid quilter) and this curating over a lifetime (weather it is 10 years or 40) makes your home unique to you. You have elevated this way of life to a new level and i hope more people will follow you. Go in peace, and i hope the new year is as beautiful as your spirit is.
Beautifully said, sir!
Thank you so much for your kind thoughts! I absolutely agree that homes should reflect the people in them… partly because we should feel comfortable and reflected there and partly because it makes for much more unique spaces!
Andrew, Yes, you have worked VERY hard. I understand that filming and editing is laborious, tedious, time consuming, etc. I LOVE you and your channel. And it looks like I am not alone. Not only the most creative, but most cost effective.
He's awesome!
I loved this very frank and honest look back on your year! Justice for the Queenie costumes video!!!
I love your little chat about making mistakes. I feel just the same - it IS possible to plan and pull something off perfectly so it can be frustrating when that’s not the case with every single thing in your life. What’s not possible is to have absolutely in everything in life be perfect and the obsession with perfection can be crippling and anxiety inducing
This. Exactly.
Wishing your dad the best and glad he is ok.
The painted wallpaper is absolutely brilliant! You should be very very proud of yourself
About the range hood: it’s reminiscent of a chimney, and to my mind, is beautiful and unique-unique because of the material you used. You can certainly add art, either two or three dimensional, to it and not lose that sense.
Love your honesty and transparency! you forgot to mention your AMAZING workspace! I feel it is 100 % your style! full of asymmetry, creativity, and old things reimagined! The essence of reissued!! Thanks for sharing!
I did actually forget to mention it when I shot this video 😂😭 But we’ll get back in there soon for some new projects so I’ll see you there 😉
I think my favorite has to be the bathroom with the painted wall paper. But I love all the projects you've done. You're such a perfectionist, that's your best asset and also your biggest challenge. So sad to hear that your Dad's car way totaled, but very glad he's ok. Can't wait to see what you do in 2024. Congratulatons for all you've achieved so far.
What I love about your videos is that you don't chase trends. That's a race you'll never win and who cares anyway? Being snarky about trends can be fun though! Happy holidays and thank you for making 2023 brighter by sharing your journey with us.
I love your channel! You are so authentic and that is RARE here. on RUclips. Thank you!
i found you from your Kitchen video. your creativity is what drew me in.
I have a few favs: Your studio makeover was so so cool, but also your making art to go sell was also rad to see the behind the scenes of a working artist, and lastly your guest bathroom, what a stunning room!
Matrix. Happy to hear Dad is ok. Have a wonderful holiday season. 💕💕🎶🎶
Love your channel. Don’t change the rangehood !
That bathroom is a stunner , you have a super cool style
Thank you!
One of my favorite videos is the Queenie Bespoke Halloween Costumes episode! It's probably in my top 3 favorites!
9:44 I discovered your channel through your kitchen reveal video! And I’m so glad that I did. I love your approach to thoughtful and creative decor which makes use of existing materials while infusing your space with personality.
I just loved the dog costume video! The rug was a process. Chalk it up to the learning curb. Think in the growth mindset. I'm a teacha, I know . 😉 ❤
You knocked it of the ballpark this year Andrew. Too difficult to pick just one favorite. They're all a hit. Here's to more projects in 2024!
Shout out to your parent too
👍👍
Happy Holidays Andrew - Thanks for the great content this year !!
I might be your only follower that has not watched the kitchen video, so i am going to do tgat right now.
Also.....there is nothing wrong with creating couture bespoke halloeen costumes for your dog. In my life i have accepted that there are times where your just 'too hip for the room'. Your bigest success is your excitement and thoughtfullness for the process, and how well you present yourself. I have a feeling that you have created a quite loyal following and predict great things to come.
In closing, i was not expecting another video from you this year, so finding this today on my birthday was a great treat, smiled the whole way through seeing so much zeal for my projects reflected in you. Keep up the great work Sir. As they say, The Best is Yet to Come !
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Happy Birthday! Thanks for watching this year! ❤️
I found you with your kitchen video and have enjoyed your channel ever since. Happy to hear that your dad is fine after the accident.
i think all your projects are great ,some not so but all very helpful and you just keep doing what you thanks . and have a wonderful Christmas and New Year
Love your channel!
This is why we LOVE your content. Its not the same stuff . You take us on a Journey every week. Idea for some future video. Fix the F ups. Not that you need to. I adore your thoughtfulness and why you are doing what you are doing. The new Stash is looking great. Bless your Dads car. Thank you so very much for this video.
Merry Christmas.
Love from Canada
Great job all around Andrew! I have really enjoyed your genuine, humble approach to everything you do. Hats off to your parents! You are so blessed to have them beside you in your endeavors. Merry Merry Christmas to you all! ❤
*Pivot* . Being willing an able to pivot when necessary is game changing. I'm am INFJ personality type. I dream BIG on a TINY budget. I'm grateful for also being practical. Andrew, I've enjoyed your content since subscribing. Your creativity, values, and talent go into everything you do. You are a refreshing soul. Stay the course.
Happy Xnas Andrew frim Ireland.
Love your videos and especially your art work and hand painted wall paper, and kitchen and... Keep up the excellent work. I look forward to each new video! Merry Christmas & the best for 2024!
Comments really help your algorithm so I leave as many as possible. Threads of arguments are the best, but don't want to start that.
As an architect/landscape architect/artist, I have some comments and am jealous that you can get some negative critiques. Those are the most constructive. Most people are afraid to be rude, but if they can point out something I overlooked, or just ugly, I am grateful.
I believe people are tired of the polished vids, your rough cut approach is so much more interesting, AND REAL.
I am struggling to understand interiors, I thought with a strong design background it would be very easy, it is not for me. I find it almost impossible to not to be biased by trends.
Some channels, and you know who they are, money is no object. I cannot just order the perfect thing I need. So, it is a matter of analyzing exactly what I don't like about what I have, then figure out if I can make it work. I get really lucky sometimes but have my share of failures.
The most striking thing you've done is the 1/2 bath sink against that crocodile wall paper. The tension or juxtaposition there is the thing that makes it so interesting. I like your workroom a lot and most other things but that one thing is genius.
I’ve been following you for quite awhile this year and have commented several times. I feel you are an old soul. I’m drawn to everything you do and am so impressed with what you’ve achieved. You remind me of my best friend, he lives in an 1890’s beautiful Richardsonian Romanesque building in Denver Co. He has the insight and passion that you do.
Anyway, I love your house and use of color, design and imagination. It’s such a precious home, even from the outside. Your kitchen is Fab, the hood over the stove is great and yes it tall and I’m sure you will figure out what changes will work to maybe break up the height of it. I see you as a perfectionist and I understand what can drive someone like you nuts. I am a full blown perfectionist myself, so I understand. Your studio, bedroom, front porch are great. The carpet tile rug is interesting and maybe you just haven’t found the right place for it.
You mentioned that you move things around a lot and I can relate to that because I own a home full of antiques and found treasures that I shift around quite often. It’s taken me years to feel comfortable about with where it is now. I finally after many years feel that my home is dialed in. Second guessing decisions is something I’m sure you deal with too.
I’m a fan of Joanna Gaines as well , but I’m obsessed with everything…decorating, art and design too. Your inspirations come from great places. And like myself you appreciate design from generations as long as it’s good design. I live with antiques , but also love modern. Oh, and incidentally I love the wooden fruit 🍎 🍇 ..
I also love the relationship you have with your parents and I adore little Queenie too. It’s fun and a pleasure to watch what you’ve achieved and will continue to do. Keep calm and carry on. 🌈
All of your projects were really inspirational this year, Andrew, and I'm so glad I found your channel. However, your fine art projects are the ones that most inspired me to keep creating (and try to sell) my own art, and I'm so very glad that I have one of your pieces hanging in my house now. It's hung at the top of my stairs and I just love it.
If I do a painting and feel iffy about it, then I take a pic and put it as wallpaper on my screen. Constant glimpses at it help me figure out the problems. Looking at it upside down also helps a lot.
Range hood. The shape and high contrast make it the focal point of the room (judging from the pics). The stark change from plaster walls to wood slats enhance the contrast. An exhaust fan should not upstage everything else.
Possible solutions:
paint it the same color as the walls, ceiling color might be better? Maybe continue the upper horizontal wall trim strip around it, then paint the top the ceiling color? Then break it again with the door trim at the door height? Add some bold things, thin shiny things on either side of it, too bad no space for shelves. Just throwing out ideas, but making it look like it is a built in part of the room would help minimize it visually.
The best I can come up with ATM is:
to wrap that upper section with that same wall trim at that height. Fill that in smooth so it looks like part of the wall and paint it the ceiling color. At the top of the door height, extend that door trim around it, use the wall color on that part to the upper trim. You could add that wreath or clock to this middle section to repeat the top of the blue hutch. Bottom, use a thin shelf/plate rail from the door all the way around to the other wall and use some plates, or whatever. This "seems like" it would minimize it and integrate it into the room. IDK.
Andrew, in nature and design imperfection, is the best form of perfection.😉
I love your channel because everything feels very organic and real, thanks for the entertainment!
The kitchen video was the first Reissued video to show up on my feed of DIY interests. The unique, thrifty upcycled projects are what keeps me hooked on your videos. I'm here to see your creativity flow in whatever projects you share with us. Thanks for all your hard work this year. Excited to see what 2024 brings!😻
I love your home. Glad to hear your dad is okay. Also, not sure if it’s the camera, but your eyes/skin look great in this video! 👏
Haha the new camera and the strategic lighting I think! Also, I look SO tired and stressed in all the flashback footage… happy to be less stressed and more joyful and balanced these days
I also agree with your idea about hanging art on the range hood, just to break up the monstrosity of it. But you have to be careful that the grease and oil molecules don't float up onto the art. And, depending on what kind of stuff you cook, I would discourage hanging anything between the range and the range hood. They're grease catchers.
Absolutely! Not planning to hang any art between range and range hood for sure. And for the art on the hood, I’m definitely planning to do something framed that can be wiped down easily 🙌🏻
I have to say, as this video progressed you appeared more and more comfortable with your comments. They flowed quite easy, it was a pleasure to watch. This was good. Cheers.
Hi Andrew! Yes kitchen videos, I would pick those as my favorites because they're how I found you 🙂. Love all your videos though including Halloween Couture 😉 . I prefer 'flat' paint. So many existing glossy finishes are in your bathroom already so I feel the flat contrast and a lack of sheen is needed {at least that's how it comes across to me through video}. A bathroom can tend to read/feel cold and unwelcoming with overabundance of shiny surfaces. I like the classic formula of 'color, pattern, texture, shine' . Washer/dryer perfect as they are, I like how they are juxtaposed to nearby warm dark wood element and soft frosted un-shiny glass to balance out the glossy white metal and cream. Indeed annoying put a lot of time into a project, then have it not turn out. Again, wishing you your parents and Queenie a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year 2024!
Great point about the mix of finishes and textures in the bathroom… so maybe I’m wrong… I still think the look might be more elevated with a hint of sheen though 😉 Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts this year! ❤️
As far as the bath wall glazing quandary, Andrew, I would certainly create a sample before attacking the actual wall. You could use a 2 ft square piece of wall board which would allow you to test 4ea. 1-foot squares before settling on your choice. I think your goals as a YT Vlogger should drive your downloaded projects. If your vlogs are an expression of your life via your projects, then the view counts should not be an issue. Not all submissions have to be 'Princess' projects. If your goal is to use YT as a primary income source, then yes, the view numbers will matter, and you would probably need to be more selective about your vlogs submissions and their editing. Personally, I tend to be more attracted to organically produced content. While I will occasionally subscribe to heavily produced content, those channels are usually the first ones I get bored with and eventually unsubscribe. (blah, blah, blah) Anyhoo, Cheers for a great winter holiday and a brighter new year in 2024. 🥳🍾
I love your unique 'reissued' art pieces and I'm sure that the acrylic wash to add an aged look works well in that context, but putting an amber wash in the bathroom surrounded by so much bright white tile seems like it wouldn't be a good mix imo.
Happy 2024...can't wait for more reissued goodness!
I thought the same thing about the Amber wash. Love it as is….
I love watching your project videos.I seldom start a project,because I am someone who thinks emptying the dishwasher the day it stops running instead of waiting 5 or 6 days is a major accomplishment.You give me hope for a more productive life.Oh,woe is me.
Glad you finally got a better camera. Sound is good without all the highs and lows. Thanks for a great year of videos. Your personal artwork projects are my favourite and it’d be nice to see “big boy” Andrew do more diys without mommy and daddy.
I love your guest bathroom. And yes you are that person. I created mosiac plastic containers for my bath products.💕💕🎶🎶
Haha I think I am that person 😭
Don’t second guess, Andrew! The range hood is dope! Chasing trends is like chasing your tail! It never ended! Love your style and your imagination is off the charts! Merry Christmas and best wishes for a healthy, happy and prosperous New Year for you and your family !❤️ hey, would the olive rug look good in your studio! Somehow i feel that it would suit the warm wood vibe in there. Maybe under the desk?
Interesting idea to use the rug in the studio! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Andrew, wow, so much I could comment on. It's great reflective content. If I have to pick 1 thing it would be PLEASE don't start doing "trends" videos, but also, please don't stop reflecting on how they affect your process. 😅🙏 It's so hard to find channels that don't push trends down your throat. While doing my own renovations, I am trying not to let trends affect my decisions - no easy task because it's everywhere.
Re-issued is You Tube channel of the year - well done, you should be so proud of everything you've achieved. What's 2024 going to bring?
Aw you are so amazing Gabby! You are spot on about trends… I’m never gonna follow them or encourage anyone else to. However, I do believe it can be helpful to discuss how they are affecting my decisions and possibly to offer advice about which trends might age well or mix nicely into a more timeless look. As for 2024 projects, my next video will be a house tour where I walk through and discuss upcoming projects!
@@REISSUED sweet! 💜
I like how you expressed yourself in this video. I always enjoy your content.
I've enjoyed watching your journey through your videos. Your candid approach and willingness to be vulnerable with your viewers are refreshing, and I appreciate you are comfortable acknowledging where there were bumps or potholes along the way. Understanding your thought process makes you more relatable. Moreover, it prepares viewers for their struggles if your videos inspire them.
I’m glad your Dad is recovering from his accident. Happy Holidays and Best Wishes for 2024!
Thanks Andy! Happy New Year!
I found you with the stained glass video. So many cool ideas, very inspiring.
Yes home fatigue, thought it was just me. I found that repurposing something from one room to another usually does the trick. Keep up the good work.
Love your lessons: "the plan changes" and "trust you intuition" Happy 2024!
Aw, your Halloween costume video of Queenie was so cute, I'm surprised it didn't do better! ... I liked your "kitchen trends" video, too. Partially because the comment I left on it got hundreds of likes! I've never made a comment on RUclips that went viral before!
Very interesting to hear your review. I am anti-trend myself. I have loved everything you did. Annoying about nobody using the powder room but it's gorgeous so who cares. My favourite is the black and white bathroom and your wallpaper. If you need more warmth can you get that with a change of bulb/lighting? I like the stark black and white it's so art deco but I don't have to use it of course. I like a free standing TP holder, on mine you stack spare rolls on the pole. Your kitchen is fabulous too. Honestly I'd move in and change nothing 👏👏👏. Thanks for all the videos Andrew. Looking forward to seeing what you (and your folks) get up to in 2024 and RIP the car🚗🖤
I found your channel during the front porch. Makeover and i've loved every episode i've seen I don't always agree with every choice that you make. However I love your vision in the way you see things As for the dresser and the legs Is a reinterpretation of something that's gone on for hundreds and maybe thousands of years the closer legs with either. An arch a curve Or a scroll and I'll love your interpretation of it Is great you are not the first one to do something like this So for all the naysayers spend more time looking around the world at different things. In different countries and health things are done. Um you will be open to a plethora of new things I have not traveled the entire world. But I have traveled to many different countries and have loved learning and finding different ways to think and find things in different directions.
Don't stay in the same box
I actually really like the tile rug with the table and chairs on it, but I can also see why it could be hard to style. Found you from the kitchen video (I think, it was a while ago)
I also completely love the wood fruit, somehow in the perfect niche between camp and classy
Merry Christmas to your parents, and Queenie and You too I guess ;) I think your kitchen video was my favourite video of the year, not only because it was an awesome video, but it was the first video of yours I saw, and introduced me to you. And ok, here goes . . . as for making mistakes . . . you do not have the life experience to look at a project and know what all to do in what steps to have it turn out perfect. I'm twice your age (or at least was till your most recent birthday and have been building and making all my life, and I'll let you in on a secret, I don't have the life experience either! If you knew me in person, and we ever worked on a project and asked if something would work, chances are I'd say "Let's try it and see" We learn more from our failures than we do our successes, (and man I've learned lots . . .) the trick is to learn to say OK, it's done, next time I'll do it like this. And trends . . . trends are nice to know, they act like a barometer give an indication of what's going on, and what's coming, but in the end, for some of us they are more a 'map?' to our style, not the destination, I've been in my house since the mid 1980s . . . some of my design style has come and gone at least 4 times in that period . . . anyway I guess that's about it, looking forward to what the new year brings from you, and I'll keep watching and making inane comments to help out the algorithm.
Even though I tune in for renovation content, I’m 100% not sorry you made the dog couture video.
Hahah I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Andrew loved all your videos hope your dad is alright Merry Christmas Andrew and your family ❤Australia xx
I did find you with the kitchen video. I've enjoyed your aesthetic throughout the year! Merry Christmas!
Your home gets better & better! I love your thoughts about "owning" what you love regardless of trends. Your creativity astounds me...never stop!
Great year end wrap up! I found you this year through the hand painted wallpaper vid, loved that project and subscribed. I’ll admit I’m partial to the home reno, but really enjoy the shopping and art as well. I have shared the office space vid a bunch, and not just because of the shout out 😂! You are officially my “artsy reno guy on RUclips” and I look forward to whatever you’ve got planned for next year.
Aw thanks Lisa! I’m so happy you found me this year! Keep those killer ideas coming in 2024! 😂❤️
I like your channel, keep doing what you do! Merry Christmas and Happy new year!!
For the sheen on the bathroom wall, I think it's a great idea esp. since br usually have satin sheen paint. I suggest you make a test panel on plywood to test colors and number of coats .
Hello Andrew! what a year! YES I found you through the kitchen video and i also don't like or follow trends. As it happens I was also doing my kitchen (have an old shack) and I am in favour of an Un-kitchen. I didn't want my kitchen to look the way a kitchen is thought of these days. That is why your videos are so interesting to me, I am interested in exploring ways of doing things that speak to me. You keep doing that in every video and it is like a lesson for me everyday on how that process happens. I have showed your video to a few friends and they all liked you the same way too. It is watching you and who you are that stands out in your videos. Your creative personal process is fantastic.
Aw thank you so much! I hope your kitchen turned out well!
I really appreciate all that you have accomplished and your honest appraisal of everything. You have been an inspiration to me. Thank you. PS I for one LOVED the doggy haute couture!
Honestly I think your willingness to post parts of projects, things that haven’t gone as exactly as planned and choices you might now make differently is why your channel is gaining traction…it’s real life diy. Seeing only perfectly finished rooms and successful projects can be a discouraging. Seeing the real process, 😢warts and all, is helpful to me to just get over myself and get started 👍🏼
Love a lot of your videos, I'm here for the art, but love the renovations, thrifting and DIY. I found you through Flanzella collab and have watched ever since. My passion is watching creative people creating things so your stuff fits the bill all the time- I also appreciate you saying what didn't work or you don't like because fake perfect is boring. Merry Christmas and looking forward to more fun ideas next year!
Love your style Andrew, everything is so interesting, but the wall paper/ bathroom storage blew me away. I am a sucker for hidden storage!
Yes, glazing is the first thing that came to my mind when you said the bird wallpaper is too flat!
Regarding the shampoo dispenser etc. you could go a middle way and buy some soap/shampoo in a nice bottle and fill that up over & over. A brown glass, apothecary looking one for example.
Regarding trends: I'd love to hear your opinion/perspective on different interior (and other) stuff.
What also interests me a long time (is that a sentence?) is your view/opinion on the stars and stripes /what it means to you.
Love the idea for the brown glass apothecary look 😍
I love your channel and art work! What a great year in review! Your channel will continue to grow in 2024! I’m 62 yo female in Scotland and love your work even tho my taste is different. You and your parents are a delight to watch! Hope your dad is ok after accident! All the best for the holiday season and 2024 - keep doing you! I’m inspired to do some art because of you! ❤
❤
Andrew, what a nice Year In Reissued Review. Hands down, I love any video with Mom, Dad and, of course, Queenie. I like the relationship between you and your Parents. Wishing you all a Very Merry Christmas! Cheers - Don
I think it' good for perfectionists to encounter unforeseen obstacles and be forced to reevaluate sometimes. I think you're doing such a fantastic job and I really didn't see any of your "fails" as fails. Always love seeing what you'll come up with next.
Thanks Kristy!
Andrew you're so creative, I love the way you pivot when you run into problems. Love your thrifting and art vids also. Merry Christmas from Sydney Australia
Even if there are some imperfections in your projects, you must look at the whole picture. What I have learned is that the important thing is to go into a room and feel good about it or even pause for a second and say to yourself "what a beautiful space I have created ". Anyway, have a lovely holiday a I wish you a beautiful and fulfilling new year ❤
Won't darkening your walls make them look dirty since they are against the white tile? Interior designers' solution would be to warm it up with wood and earth colored pastels. You could try that? BTW. I thought of some solutions to hide your washer and dryer, one might work?
You are probably a perfectionist, and you see things that the rest of us don’t see, I like your design work, being an artist myself I get how you can fuss over every detail, especially colours. Great job your house looks so original and fantastic.
Thank you for the unexpected Christmas treat! That hand-painted wallpaper is my favorite, and any tampering would elicit a shriek from Texas you could hear clear to Georgia. But then again, Leonardo tweaked the Mona Lisa the rest of his days, so who am I to scold an artist? I tune in to see YOU, as well as what you've been up to, and I am never disappointed. Obviously, I'm not alone. As a performer, you are aware of every misstep, but your audience only sees the magic and the beauty. Consider the occasional stumble as tuition for RUclips U. Glad your Dad is okay. Thanks again and have a Merry Merry!
Your kitchen video was the first one I saw and knew that I wanted to see more. Love your style it's similar to mine but more masculine in a way. Regarding hanging your own art and seeing the flaws I find that part of the fun and learning for the next piece, to analyse it over time and see what works and not. And if you end up hating something you can always change it out or change the painting itself
First, I’m so glad your dad is ok! Car accidents are scary. Andrew, you have put so much work into your channel and it shows. I happen to be one of your viewers who absolutely loves everything you do and the creativity and vision you possess. I’m living in my condo for 3 years and still unsure where to hang art, furniture placement, why did I buy this, and the list goes on. I believe that’s where trying to get it perfect sabotages me 😂. I will embrace being perfectly imperfect for 2024. You’re an inspiration and I look forward to your beautiful videos.
I relate to this so much! I say move around what you have, hang the art that you love, and see what happens! You can always make changes but finding those initial starting points - a piece of furniture, a color, a pattern - can give you something to go off. I know how hard it is to start from a blank canvas!
I subscribed to you after seeing your kitchen renovation, I love your ability to put together found objects and recycled materials. This transcends any trend or fashion and gives a space a timeless, unique feel. My home is nearly completely furnished with thrifted items. My friends love my home and tell me it feels warm and homely, which is exactly how I try to make it.
As an artist, my living areas are full of my work, and I kind of treat it like an open studio/gallery. I’m happy when I sell one, because it makes room for another, and the space is constantly changing.
Keep up the great work; it’s a rare thing to find someone’s taste that resonates so much with mine!
I’m so glad you found me! Thanks for watching ❤️
Love all of the renovations to your home. The porch, kitchen and bedroom are my favorite although I have to say I like it all.
I caught one pf your art episodes sometime a go. Today you popped up due to a search I did. I love how down to earth and human you are. And yes, change your mind often as you will, you are clearly many things Andrew but not generic! I am now going to start watching everything you have put up! Cheers, Loved it.
Your painted "wallpaper" is already at the next level. A clear finish over it so it still matches the tiled area below it would be great, and might protect the paint from moisture. But if you glaze it a color, glaze the tile,too.
Hi Andrew,
Your kitchen is beautiful! I have the exact same stove,. I love how level it is with the counters. I cannot get mine level with the counters! Any thoughts would be helpful 😊
Hey Bonnie! I seem to remember that this was a big “to-do” when we installed the stove and the counters… to make the heights work. I’m pretty sure we ended up having to shim up the countertops since the feet on the range could not come high enough 😱
You’re so real for this. I’m OBSESSED WITH YOU
Loved the retrospective and just want to say I LOVED the dog costume video! I’m not going to make a costume for my dog, but loved watching you do it. There’s a market!
Haha I’m glad you enjoyed that Kelsey!
I like the rainshood
Happy Holidays, Andrew! I appreciate that you do not follow trends but express and explore your style. Everything looks wonderful: the colors, geometry, artwork, and balance. Youd did clever and aesthetic work such as the pass-through to the living room and the use of cleats in the office. The geometric rug experiment reminds me of my earlier attempts at making images with fabric. Making the triangles and etcetera fit is tricky. Of all your re-examination of "reissues," you had clear insights that were also helpful to us. In response to request for feedback, please do not put sepia or burnt sienna on the bathroom mural. You can try a clear coat first and live with that for a while. That said, what a great year you have shared with us! Thank you.
The kitchen is a jewel!!!!
Just so you (and everyone else) know, a mid tone basic gray was VERY in c 1908-14.
I lived in a house where it was under the 6th layer of paint/ wallpaper.
I found a skinny pinstripe gray and white paper in fabulous shape (though so old it was brittle).
❤keep doing you
Happy holidays! I love your aesthetic, so I have no criticisms😊. Planning is great and nobody wants to make mistakes, of course, but for me, if I'm too focused on those things they just flatten out creativity and ingenuity. BTW, I wrote a while ago that I made a grafiti wall, if you're interested in how it turned out, let me know how to send you pics. I'm really happy with it! Thank
I would love to see pics! Reissuedstore@gmail.com
Definitely the wreath helps, why can't you leave it year round?
Just not the look I want all the time. But the proportions and metallics break up the wood… so I’m taking note of that!
Use old candle jars or containers from the restore for your toiletries.
I prefer the free standing as the wall ones are always breaking not the old ones, new ones!
I'm so glad I found you - my favorite new subscription in 2023.🙂
Yes, the fruit! The hand painted wallpaper is just so stunning, it's incredible that you did that yourself. It's my favorite, and that's saying a lot cause there are a lot of fantastic projects you've tackled this year. Definitely test the glaze first!😅Oh, and don't talk about trends, just own your gray
Why don't you varshish or seal with a shear tint on the "wallpaper"
❤❤❤
I totally understand about the creative process and being critical of every imperfection, real or perceived. If you figure out how to really do that, put it in a video. That will go viral for sure. The perfectionist struggle is no joke!
Haha seriously!
My favourite transformation is the bedroom and nook. Have a wonderful Christmas time (& I’m pleased dad is ok!!!)
