    Disclaimer - none of this video is sponsored or gifted everything has been paid for by myself and I took all of your advice on board and upped my budget to ensure I got what I wanted. This is not a comparison of my life to anyone else and this is something I have always wanted to be able to give myself. I am fully aware that with the current state of the internet this video will no doubt receive some negativity and I will take my usual stance that if it isn’t constructive, it won’t be tolerated.
    I have watched every dressing room tour and reveal on the internet and loved them so I’m excited to share my own.
    Its a long way since my old dressing room/office/ali’s wardrobe hehe!
    Thank you for being here with me and watching my videos :)

    It shocks me how much this company have got wrong considering this was not a cheap project! From the wood colour to the cabinets not being the correct width to the mirror patterns... i'm surprised you managed to stay so upbeat and positive! it will all look beautiful once everything has been sorted, which girl doesnt want a dressing room! :)

    Lydia, I am 42. Need I say any more? When I was your age I always thought I looked horrible without makeup. Truth is I looked AMAZING. Please appreciate your youth and beauty. I look after my skin the best I can but it’s not the same after I turned 40. You look beautiful, without makeup. It doesn’t last so please remember that!!!

      Robin - you’re not past it at 42! I’m 41 and probably happier with my appearance now than I was ten years ago. This extends to my skin. In fact, I had severe adult acne in my mid 30s, and never felt more unattractive. Thankfully, it has been resolved.

    • @donnaconrad6212
      @donnaconrad6212 6 лет назад

      Well, for real, that company should NEVER have expected final payment before it was completed...as far as the shelving goes...it is dark, but then if she had white shelving, it sure would get scratched/scuffed-up in no time. Maybe, the back walls to each "section" could be painted, or even a metallic silver or gilded wallpaper(?!?)...or pretty "English Garden Posie sort of print...but then it might distract from the real "art" which truly can be; a woman's shoe collection, her handbags, hats, scarfs, etc...I think painting or wall-papering the back walls...leave the shelves "as-is."

    There's a lot to love about this room, Lydia! The one thing I'm not fond of is the open shelving color of the wood. It does give it an unfinished look imo. There's also a lot more open shelving than I would personally go for, but its your space and it sounds like you're quite happy, so bravo! Its gorgeous overall!

    I'm so happy for you, Lydia! This is the perfect space for someone in your field to have. As a country girl and someone who works in agricultural science/agriculture, I wouldn't ever have a use for a dressing room like that, but it's fun to see the different needs and specifications of different individuals :) I look forward to doing a similar organization re-do with a built in mudroom, as you can imagine that's a big deal for someone who has a lot of outdoor gear, so it'll be my version of your gorgeous dressing room, haha! ;) Different strokes for different folks, as long as we're all enjoying our spaces, that's what's important! And if you ever change your mind about the woodtones in your shelves, a grey tone would be GORGEOUS in there! Or, if you were going to get crazy, a deep navy. So luxurious!

    The cupboard by the door, that you do not know what to do with... You should put items in there you need for videos. Things you want to film about, extra filming equipment, extra candles, something to dust.
    The 'grand wardrobe area' looks fantastic! But I think the shadow above makes it feel shorter.... You should ask your electrician to install a strip of lighting above, if you do not want to extend the moulding to the ceilings.
    For seating, you might want a bench instead of 2 chairs.
    Consider a custom radiator fan, to assist in the hot air movement if it gets too cold in the winter. However, the issue might be the windows, you will know if they frost over in winter from the inside.

    I have to agree the inside of the shelves looks unfinished as it currently is. I’m also not a fan of the gap at the top of the tall closeting (with mirrored doors, across from the door)-it’s just wasted space, why not go all the way to the top? And it looks a bit odd where you have two different widths of the shelving along the long walls. There’s also a bit of oddness where the tall open shelves hit against the smaller open shelves in the corner, I mean this is supposed to be custom so why didn’t they fill some of these odd spaces. I love you, and I know you got some of this at a nice discount, but that closeted wardrobe wall looks like something from ikea and not custom

    Love your videos but not sure why your followers would say the closets looks amazing when they clearly don't. I'm an interior designer and see so many people end up miserable coz they went for a cheaper company instead of a reputable one. I doubt they will really fix much for you but my advice would be to have the dark interiors chalk finished to lighten it up and to a shade similar to your floor, remove the detailing on the mirrors and leave it plain and add a plush armless sofa chair/ bench in a pink or grey at the end of the island to soften up the space.

    Have your carpenter shorten the legs on your chairs then just pop on new glides on the bottom of the legs. Love the entire room. Maybe you should ask your electrician if he can put an outlet in your island so you can sit down and do your hair and you will sometimes need a lighted mirror, too. But the most important question is.........do the cats like it? Do they want a bed by the radiator so they can watch their human get ready?

They should not be charging you full price as they have mucked up the wood colour. Left big gaps in the work tops (let's hope they make good on those) got the fret work on the mirrored doors wrong. However I hope that they make all this good for you as you have waited a long time for this. You deserve for them to put this right.

    I'm a professional high-end closet designer and here are my two cents: first, I actually like the wood; it looks like cherry from the camera and I think it makes a very elegant and timeless match with the matt white. The company obviously didn't know how to take measurements, that's solid. The "touch-latch" (or "push-pull") door could have been made, I honestly don't buy the company's "excuse" because there's no technical impediment there. I also would have chosen brushed nickel hardware (hanging rods, handle, etc) as it's a more modern and feminine material than chrome. Overall, headache a part, it looks good!!!

    Lydia, I am 54, and have come to appreciate inner beauty with outer beauty being a true reflection of that. Being comfortable in your own skin still makes you a glamourpuss in my eyes! I'm sure I speak for many who love you for the genuine, intelligent, inspirational and honest woman that you have shown yourself to be. Those are true qualities of beauty that we can all aspire to in my opinion. To have a special space of your dreams is, again, something we can all dream for ourselves if we wish to work hard and make it happen. I'm so happy for you that you've achieved this for yourself and I enjoy following along with you!

    Such a big, beautiful, dream closet. I’m surprised at how many things were done wrong and in all my own remodels I’ve never had to pay 100% up front. The closet door details are just eye catching and that chandelier is 😍. I’m excited for the final reveal.
    BTW my whole closet would fit in a 6th of your space and I love it, I’m not longing for a bigger room but love to see others eye candy 💕I don’t see it as “braggy “ just inspo.

    It would be nice if you put some liners in your drawers and a sensor lights then when you open your drawers it lights up so you can see your accessories and products so much easier. A nice liner on the bottom of your drawers will give it that extra touch to your closet room. It's looking good so far. X

    The dressing room is amazing. I'm gobsmacked how beautiful the space looks. I love the soft gray. Makes the room feel bright and warm. I have one suggestion. For the triple full length mirror wardrobe, I would suggest the side doors have the hinges switched. That way, you could partially open the doors and have a three angle mirror.

    It’s coming along beautifully but I agree with other comments. The wood shelves would look great painted and that gap above wardrobe filled with something decorative. Right now the floor tone isn’t jiving with the shelf tone but I love the mirrored doors.

  • @debbievidal9536
    @debbievidal9536 6 лет назад +6

    Im sure it will all look great when it's finished. The chandelier is amazing. However esthetically there is too much open shelving for my taste. I don't think the the wood shows off your shoes/bags to their advantage. Maybe if the back had been painted the same shade as the doors? The floor is beautiful. You were very brave because I would never have dealt with a company that required 100% upfront. It seems that their measurers need to step up their game because if they are truly professionals, they wouldn't make so many mistakes. Having said that I would love to be able to have a dressing room of any shape or kind. Oh, and I don't like the gap above the main wardrobe... It looks weird. Sorry about the critique but that's just my personal opinion. It would look lovely when finished I'm sure xx

  • @heatherpereira699
    @heatherpereira699 6 лет назад

    I absolutely love your dressing room. Just a thought, if you switched your long dresses door with your jumper door they would open the opposite way so you would get a 3 way mirror. You would be able to see your beautiful outfits even better. Kinda like when you go to a bridal shop. I have one in my bathroom and I love it.
    Beautiful design, you have such amazing style.

  • @TheBohemianStyle
    @TheBohemianStyle 6 лет назад +7

    I have to agree with you Lydia with respect with the closet company. In fact, I also felt disappointed that they made the decision with the interior colour without consulting you. You could have painted the inside of your door to blend with the wall and still have the grey colour on the inside shelving units. I am into accessories and I love the idea you have to store them. How will you store your fashion jewelry?

    Hi Lydia! I’m writing you from Spain. I’m absolutely impressed with how gorgeous your dressing room it’s looking.
    Wanted to tell you that you don’t need to be sorry about showing this on RUclipsd. You are inspirational, you show us that dreams can come true with effort! If anyone it is just negative, it the jealousy in its bad way. But this life that you show, it the life that I am pursuing and that I will absolutely love to have. You are “living your best life” and because of that I am soooo proud, as I think most of your suscribers are.
    Huuuuuge and warm hugs from Spain.
    Love, Sandra

    What a beautiful closet! Usually with custom made closets, the color of the wood is matched throughout. So I'm surprised they didn't make it all white. I agree with what someone else said below, that if you do paint the shelves white, you probably won't need lighting. Also, if I had a room like that with so much natural light, I'd put some plants in there, as well. Maybe orchids?

    Looks nice. I agree, that color natural wood keeps it warmer. I don’t think it looks unfinished because of the tone of the wood. I hope you have, or will get a UV protection for the windows. Otherwise, your beautiful items will fade.

    This looks amazing! Not sure if this has been mentioned yet but just a little tip... we have velux windows and I would recommend getting some blinds or shutters for them to block the light when you're not using the room. Otherwise the light coming through will discolour the floor and your beautiful furniture, melt candles, bags etc (my family learned the hard way!) Just a friendly tip because all of that stuff and hard work is far too incredible to let a bit of a light change it !

    I personally don’t care for the brown wood, I think it makes it look unfinished. A grey toned wood would have been nice, especially with your choice of flooring.

    The dressing room is actually very nice! tbh I thought that because you like greys so much + the almost white walls it would look cold and clinical. however I just love the impact of the warm wood on the shelfs and on the floor, it makes a huge difference! I really hope to see more cosy warm rooms and perhaps more colorful? Even light beige instead of gray..of course it;s your house and living space, im just saying!
