Katy! 😻 you completely crushed this makeover. Turned the office from “oh no” to “broho” in the best way. I especially loved the return of the “fake-ass wood grain paper” on the desk. Great job!
That was really nice. It looks like a different room. The differences are the addition of : coziness, functionality, plants for extra oxygen and charm. Its lighter and brighter. It's great.
Great job Katie! I’m so glad to see you use your chalk that was your only purchase from that huge ass crafting resale shop. 😂😊 By the way, my mom was the Queen 👸 of Contact paper back in the 50s and 60s. She was a writer, always had an office and all accessories were coordinated with Contact paper, including her desk blotter, the handle of her letter opener, her can covered to use as a pencil holder (as well as the pencils themselves) and spiral bound notebooks. I swear she kept them in business. 😂😊 ❤the Bro-Hoe style.
I can’t tell you how delighted I am to hear this about your mom. It makes perfect sense to have everything coordinated like that, and I can totally see it. Sticking that in my mind file for future. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
The shelves fit so perfectly, but the blinds gave you hell....a life lesson on balance, lol. I love the simplicity of the room, but it still has that wow factor. It's like my office (my whole damn house, actually) with the builder grey walls... we work with it.
I AM taking a shot every time you say ‘earthy’- except it’s coffee.☕️😁 Really impressed with the way you used what they had and made the space so much more beautiful!
Oh I forgot! I have to say that the rug is everything! Made the room so chic so cozy so colorful and warm and just changed the whole vibe! And I LOVED that it is thin! I hate high profile or thick rugs so much even without carpet 😎😎😎😎😎😎
Score on those book shelves being a perfect fit. Honestly, the room looks larger, more spacious than before. Velcro zip ties, need to check those out. And.....now I need to watch again and count how many times you said "earthy" - ha ha ha!
I remember the closest office with the peel and stick wallpaper from dollar tree (that I almost went to every dollar tree in New York looking for the same one) .. I was so inspired by the glow up/ bossy upgrade by you that It’s completely confirmed that I will be starting a RUclips channel soon to create my own content on diy with dollar tree products 😊thanks for sharing
Ooh, really nice job missus 😊 Aaand I feel validated for already having those excellent velcro ties! No cable-spaghetti in my work bag, thank you very much!😉
Girlllllllllll you killed it againnnnnnnnnn 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 I wish that was my office not just because it absolutly looks lovely and stylish but also because you were the one behind it ❤❤❤❤❤ That's how much I am in love 😂😂😂😂😂 Thank youuuuuuu 🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊😽😽😽😽😽😽😽😽😽😽😽🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝
Yes! I totally forgot to mention. They wanted to downsize to a slimmer, simpler one to sit on the shelves since that other one was a big boy and not used that often.
I'm sorry, but yes, book shelves are for books! Hence "Book" shelves! I have a library's worth of books. If they don't go on the shelf, they'll go on a chair, floor, somewhere! "JANET DOESN'T GIVE UP HER BOOKS!!!" (Ode To Joey Tribbiani) 🤣
Hahaha. That they are! Although have you ever seen the coffee tables or side tables that have stands made out of books? I would love to DIY one of those. They’re so cool.
Gah! I'm in need of interior design help. I'm a mess.😢 No matter how many videos I watch, my brain freezes every time I try to make something happen. 😂
@LaughCryDIY Sounds good. Well, today, I wallpapered one wall on my half bath and decorated it, and my sisters loved it. I guess I'm too hard on myself. Lol!
I feel the same way about color blocking books that I do about pineapple on pizza. It absolutely does not belong in my house or on my pizza, but why on earth should I care what you do with your bookshelves or your pizza.
Making an office functional but cozy while staying minimal is not so easy in a newbuild. Also, Ihate my adjustable desks surface! But I thought how awful it would look, wrapping that round edges...thought about wrapping it with fabric soaked in liquid starch (=worked on melamin chairs) but then... i could never drink coffee while working again, cause i cant be trusted not to spill it....never thought of NOT wrapping the edges. Genius !
In a dream world, one would. But the curves would looks so crunchy. I also saw that a lot of them just had the top veneered anyway when I was looking at inspo versions. (Even they know.) Also, great to know the fabric worked for melamine chairs. That’s so cool!!!
yes, it was awful dormroom furniture! worked great held up for years, removed it and chairs looked exacty like before and i just washed the fabric and made pillow covers out of it!@@LaughCryDIY

Ok i love how realistic this is. A proper desk chair, family photos, embracing the chords. Looks nice and not too staged
Gotta keep it real for ya.

Michael, my snappy headline king. It’s been so long since I’ve been reunited with contact paper. We all needed it. 😂
Its so cozy but not cluttered! I also like the "use what u have approach"
It’s the way most of us have to work, ya know?
i know....but look at all these "small budget" makeovers of creators who shall not be named :-) @@LaughCryDIY
Those three ikea bookcases fitting perfectly in that space brought me second hand joy 😂 Love it all !
It was a blessing
Love all the design elements introduced into the room. The wood look contact paper on the desk made a huge difference.
It’s the little things. For my own desk, I also didn’t feel too precious about it. If it gets dinged up, just rewrap it.
@@LaughCryDIY Love that, smart and practical solutions that look awesome!
Me wrangling contact paper tho is um, a comedy in itself lol.
I love it when you make over a room - it’s always affordable and accessible for us
Keeping it real for my cheap freaks. ❤️😘
Yes, I hate how other “doable diys” are a whole profesh team or their carpenter partner does all the labor!
Top notch. As always well conceived and executed.
Thank you. I’m glad they liked it a lot. ❤️
That was really nice. It looks like a different room. The differences are the addition of : coziness, functionality, plants for extra oxygen and charm. Its lighter and brighter. It's great.
Bless those sunny windows for all the plants. It always adds so much life.

Gotta make it work. You know it’s not a Laugh Cry DIY vid without a Moment of Hell 😂
The rope or jute pouff was a great idea! I wonder if you could make a beanbag cover out of something like that?
Totally could!
she really said “spice up ya life” 🔥
Every boy and every girl!
Well Katie, you knocked it out of the park again! I adore boho style, and this turned out so lovely! You’re soooo talented!
😘 It was fun to do something a little different/more neutral than normal
Thank you for doing a "real" room that the majority of us can relate to. Great job!
I try! It’s really the whole vibe of my channel.
I AM taking a shot every time you say ‘earthy’- except it’s coffee.☕️😁 Really impressed with the way you used what they had and made the space so much more beautiful!
Shots! Shots! Shots! Hahah
A shot every time you say “Earthy” it’s 08:22am in the uk. I’ve done worse I suppose. 🤣🤣🤣
Have another one for me 😂
Oh I forgot! I have to say that the rug is everything! Made the room so chic so cozy so colorful and warm and just changed the whole vibe! And I LOVED that it is thin! I hate high profile or thick rugs so much even without carpet 😎😎😎😎😎😎
I love the rug too. Would love to have one like that.
It’s linked if you wanna explore that one/others!
I was amazed how soft it was for being so thin
Score on those book shelves being a perfect fit. Honestly, the room looks larger, more spacious than before. Velcro zip ties, need to check those out. And.....now I need to watch again and count how many times you said "earthy" - ha ha ha!
Be careful or you will get drunk watching back. Haha. I’m telling you, zip ties change lives.
Good job, Katie. Funny, creative, contact-paper-applying infotainment! My fave.
I have to admit I am a shill for Big Contact Paper 😂
Katie: And no one is gonna know the difference, unless you guys tell.
Me: I ain't no snitch!
That’s my girl 😂😉
Nice transformation 🎉 I like the broughemian vibe❤ The lava rocks were a vibe🥰
Always fun to bring in a lil something different.
Nice transformation!
Yayyy! A make over!! I’ve missed these so much. Love love love. Xxxxx
I know it’s been a minute since a makeover! Thanks for sticking with me.
I loved it! Would like to see the owner's reaction to it
I’ll say they were happy-just not everyone is as camera happy as me 😂
Vintage chalk usage! And if it's 1988 in LA, you should be headed down to club Vertigo downtown. Short skirts, fishnets, and Queensryche.🙂
Agh, what a dream. You don’t know how bad I wanna drive down the sunset strip in a corvette with big hair.
@@LaughCryDIY If you ever do that, you must post pix. :D
😹Bro-ho. Nice work!
Bros before ho-hemians. Ok maybe I tried too hard there.
I’ve used that wrapping paper! Haha.
Twins!!!
I love that gallery wall (not overdone and seemed relevant to the space) and yes, that is the coolest diploma. 🤩
For sure. A simple, understated one gallery is what it calls for sometimes.
Missed these so much! Yay!!!! You and your socked feet never cease to be adorable 🎉
Shoe-free home 😂 So nice to back with a makeover. Been too long.
Great job 👏🏻 👍🏻 ❤
Super cute!!!! Seriously, what an upgrade. Those are Kukui Nut necklaces from Hawaii. ❤
Oh cool! Thank you for telling me. I was trying to figure it out.
I remember the closest office with the peel and stick wallpaper from dollar tree (that I almost went to every dollar tree in New York looking for the same one) ..

Oh, that’s so cool. Love to hear it. And let me know when you launch. I’ll make sure to sub.
Ooh, really nice job missus 😊

Wow. I’m so impressed. It’s a whole new lifestyle for me.

It was definitely more neutral than my usual, but super fun to do!
I love it, but just one question. Did I miss the part where you put the printer back in the room?
Yes! I totally forgot to mention. They wanted to downsize to a slimmer, simpler one to sit on the shelves since that other one was a big boy and not used that often.
@@LaughCryDIY Thank you!
New to your channel😊love home decor 😊thanks for sharing
Thanks for stopping by!
Absolutely beautiful ! Please more boho decor videos ! I love boho decor ! New subbie here !
Note to self. Thanks for joining the crazy club and hanging with me.
The billy bookshelves (and the way you designed them) totally leveled up that office ❤
Thank you! How lucky that they perfectly fit.
This turned out so good! I didn't know Billy bookcases had the drawer feature. Will have to check that out. Love the rug!
Yes! I am amazed at how many add-ons they’ve made! It’s so cool.
Looks super cool! Very warm and cozy yet functional. You nailed this.
❤️❤️❤️ I swear, throw a sheepskin fur anywhere and it’s all ya need.
Girl you’re looking great ❤
Please tell Baguette I say psst psst 😽
Aw, thank you. ❤️ Happy to be back with a makeover. It’s been a minute.
Excellent job as always. It feels comfy and homely which means a totally different mood while working. ❤
He was really happy with it. It’s one of those things where you’re kinda room blind until you realize how much more cozy it could be.
Beautiful and creative as always ❤❤😊😊
It was definitely a different vibe than normal, but so relaxing.
Looks GRÈAT
❤️❤️❤️
This is a great update …. I love it … and the drawers in the bookcase - genius!! ❤
I can’t believe how many accessories they have for the billy bookcase now. It’s so cool (and you can hack them so many ways.)
Huge difference, looks great!
My fave part was the kids rolling around on the rug and sheepskin.
Great job! Big impact, small touches.
❤️ I’m telling ya, throw a sheepskin anywhere and it works.
Wow! I love what you did with the office!!!
I love how a few little things can make such a big difference.
@@LaughCryDIY me too going to have to try some in my tiny house
Perfect. Great choices. Well done!
❤️❤️❤️❤️

Katie to Katy 😘
I love your decorating videos❤
Aw, thank you so much! It’s been a minute since I’ve done a makeover, so I’m glad to get them back in the mix.
Engagement is important❣️
Yes, it is. Thank you!
Thanks!
Aw, thanks so much. Off to buy more contact paper…
Wow!! Love it❤
Thanks for watching
The necklaces are kukui nut shells!
Oh! So cool!
NICE!
Gah! I'm in need of interior design help. I'm a mess.😢 No matter how many videos I watch, my brain freezes every time I try to make something happen. 😂
I feel you! Always starts with inspiration photos for me. Start corralling them and noticing what consistent themes you see.
@LaughCryDIY Sounds good. Well, today, I wallpapered one wall on my half bath and decorated it, and my sisters loved it. I guess I'm too hard on myself. Lol!
@@jflo7674um, yeah you are! Wallpapering is actually a huge deal. Well done. 🎉
@@LaughCryDIY Hehe. Thanks! 😁
A otro nivel, bello❤
❤️😘
I love this bro-ho office!!! So good
This is the most neutral I can possibly do
I feel the same way about color blocking books that I do about pineapple on pizza. It absolutely does not belong in my house or on my pizza, but why on earth should I care what you do with your bookshelves or your pizza.

Link to the rug may not be working, the other Amz links do, but the rug link doesn't.
Oops! Updated for ya (also added lamp link).
#californiabroho #broho #prayforsurf
🙏 bless
What happened to the printer?
Good question! I forgot to mention that they’re getting a slimmer/simpler one to sit on top of the shelves since that bad boy was a beast.
It's a crime to color block books!!!!
No it's not!!!!
Yes it is!!!!
Nuh uh!!!
Uh huh!
Hahahahahhahahahahahha. You win comment thread.
VIVA FOREVER🎉🪩💃🏽Katy where did you get that tee? I need it in my life + love the cut
Agh, I got it in a random t-shirt store in Ojai, CA. (TBH, it is not the softest cotton, so I wouldn’t rebuy it.)
