I challenged myself to fully transform my guest bedroom in one day with only $400. There's not demo or remodel so this is a perfect makeover for renters. This was very challenging due to the small budget but I'm very happy with how it turned out :)

Your welcome
I just did download the game thank you so much sweetie looks fun to play for me 😊👌
Looks cozy, unsolicited comment… the bed centered on the wall would have looked cuter, with the tree on the left side. If you are set on having 2 nightstands, maybe make a simple floating shelf one with your leftover wood, you can even add plugs to it so it’ll be a charging station for your guests. I love the light bedding!
Agreed! Perhaps it would make for another great project for Tiff for next time :)
Benefits of centering the bed.
- Making the bed becomes a lot easier.
- When there a 2 sharing the bed, the one on the window side won't be disturbing their partner.
- Having the plant on the window side will balance the back wall.
- How to make it look as if there is more moss around the plant.
- Crumble up the brown paper packing material.
- Place it in the planter around the plant.
- Add the moss.
I’m an interior designer. Center the bed.
I came here to say the same thing.
I agree as well I think a lot of the focus is on the dresser and think it would look nice tucked on the other side of the bed! Other than that she totally killed this makeover!!
Paint the nightstand to match the bed. That will really make a difference in the room.
I agree with the comment about centering the bed on the wall. You definitely have enough room on the right side of the bed to move that bureau over. Plus when you're making the bed you can walk around the bed. You don't need to have a ton of room but you need to be able to walk around it. Also the comment about putting a floating corner shelf that would work as well.
And pull the chair away from the corner a bit.
Time to make a game console wall ❤
even I would the bed away from the wall, just enough to make it easier to make the bed. I like my bed against the wall to create a cozy cave feeling but not against a window. if you put the headboard where the plant is, you can look out the window from the bed.
Yes, and that would have made drapes possible. To me a room always looks unfinished without drapery, bur hey, I'm old school.
But overall, the room looks good 👍.
If not centered - at least away from the wall on the side enough to walk beside.
Looks so much better. If you really want to pull the room together, paint the side table black, paint the feet on the chair black and get a taller lamp (the current one is not the right scale for the space) with a black shade.
Looks better, but move the bed away from the wall!
@@ShirleyDrake-xx2cs that’s my pet peeve. I cannot stand to go to someone’s house and have to make a bed that they have pushed up against the wall. I have the tiniest rooms one has literally a foot on each side, maybe a foot and a half and the little nightstands are a foot wide.
Agreed. It has some bad feng shui atm, just doesnt feel right.
The room looks a lot more put together and really cozy.
I do agree with all the comments to center the bed in the middle of the wall. Slide the little dresser over a bit and put the tree on the other side of the bed. I don’t know how other people feel about it, but I like being able to walk around my bed. Especially when making it. It makes it so much easier putting on the bedding. You could also make a floating shelf for a night stand wide enough for another small lamp and place a nice basket under the shelf. Something similar that matches the one you have next to the mirror. Over all, I think you did a great job Tiff 😃👏🏼👍🏼
I agree😊
Yes. Center the bed. Sand dresser paint sides and front matte black then stain top with antique it.❤❤
I’m so glad you’re going to fix a few things… as a designer can I suggest the following…
- the pictures needed to be centered over the bed not the wall
- the lamp is too small
- center the bed on the wall even though you didn’t have 2 Night stands
- the rug color is totally on off imho, the other one was better
- yes a bigger rug totally
- the throw at the top of the bed is positioned wrong it should be larger and at the foot of the bed.
TIFF I love your videos and but I think you’re correct in saying it needs to be redone, maybe that’s why you put the pictures centered on the wall.
Use the little lamp on a table next to the chair and definitely get another table for the other side of the bed and they don’t need to be matchy matchy!!!
Can’t wait to see your new plans!!!!
Keep the videos coming love ❤️
Thank you for your feedback! I'll keep these ideas in mind :)
definitely a bigger rug
A very good start, especially for one day and such a small budget. So glad you added the mirror, nice texture. Suggestions for small changes over time as you find freebies and bargains: Bigger rug, more color contrast, center the bed, a small (non matching table for the other side of the bed, center art (or something else over bed.
Center the bed or at least away from the wall. You don’t need to have 2 bedside tables and use the plant instead. Move the chair way from the corner a bit. Don’t tuck it in. Keep things off walls when posible.
Yes!
Yes
The two pictures not being centered on any furniture (bed, nightstand) is making my OCD flare up 😂
@@sirc625 I am so glad somebody else mentioned that! 😆
Pictures should be centered &eye level
😄
Yup high aniexty
Came here to see if anyone mentioned centering the art over the bed!! Oh, please…oh, PLEASE, centre the art over the bed!!
That's a cute little dresser! I'd love to see you refinish it. Also, a tip for the drawers to make them easier to open/close. Pull the drawer out and wherever it has wood on wood as it moves, rub a bar of soap or an old candle. The waxy material really makes it smooth out. 😁
I’ve done this trick with beeswax from my sewing box and it really does make a difference 😃
My mom taught me that years ago and I am 65 years old
I like the gray throw on the bed better than the Ivory one. The gray one makes the bed pop more. Just my opinion. You did a great job on a budget.
Yes I agree
I agree, bed would look great in the middle with your nightstand next to it and the tree on the other side. You can spray paint the knobs black and if you want you can spray paint the night stand.
You did a fabulous job. The room is nice and cozy and lucky the people who will stay in this beautiful room.
Floating shelves that display the various game consoles. Make them a focal point and a conversation starter.
Thank you, Tiff. You accomplished a lot in a day. The room is more attractive, cozier, and restful. I just subscribed because your channel is a lot of fun and you make your projects doable, affordable, and realistic. I look forward to your next project.
Thank you!
I agree with the comments about centering the bed, this would also make cleaning the window easier.
I really like the colours and the lighter rug as well. I would put the bed under the two pictures and the dresser in the corner. Maybe later if the budget allows ; a curtain rod and longer curtains to cozy it up. Gives me ideas for my space.Thankx!
I enjoyed your thought process. Not a fan of the gray walls. But when completed, looked cozy, comforting and welcoming. Great job.
I am only half thru the video but I wanted to say YES to the pink and cream blanket. It will make a nice pop of color in the room.
I really like the pretty basket as a planter and the throw pillow with tassels is very cute! I like the little lamp too. When I saw the sheets were directly on the matters my inner OCD voice said, Mattress Cover!!!!! Get one!😅 But the room definitely looks more inviting and cozier!
You are so stinking real! So awesome! You did great on updating the room with the furniture you have at the time!
Wow ~ What a welcoming guest room! Great re-vamp on a budget. Love the cream and gray color scheme. To allow you to make the bed without crawling all over it, move the bed to the right so you can walk around it; the bed doesn't necessarily have to be centered but you need access to the other side to make the bed easily. Then, move the tree to the other side of the bed. Also, since the rug is too small a scale, consider moving it to the foot of the bed. If you do decide to up the budget, maybe you can find a small dresser at a Goodwill Store that you can paint to match the bedside table and add the same drawer pulls that you used here.
Yes. I would like the bed better in the middle with the tree on one side and night stand on the other 💕
I agree with moving the bed to the center of the wall. Getting a set of nightstands would look great, but even just putting that faux plant in the opposite corner would be better. I also think folding the sheet back with the comforter would help break up the cream bedspread. The throw right in front of the pillows takes away from them, so I would put that one on the chair or in the basket with the other throw. Love that little lamp!-but I think it’s too small for that nightstand and makes things look disproportionate. I would keep it and put it somewhere else-like on a shelf or counter. A lamp at least twice that size…or a sconce would look better. I also agree with you that the rug is too small, although I really like the styles you picked. Amazon is having a prime day in a couple days. This is a great start, and I’m looking forward to seeing your next episode!!
Blush colored Linens would play very well with the gray walls it will also tie in your little rug
I think you are a very talented individual and did an awesome job tackling something outside of your comfort zone. Good for you.
Midwest magic cleaning sent me sooooo glad he did
I think the bed centered would work better with the plant on the left in the corner. If you could refinish the night stand with a gray or beige would blend your colors. Add a small plant to the nightstand. I love all your colors and pictures. Great job.
It looks really nice she did a great job
Especially liked how you fell into the warm laundry - so me!! I think the 2 rugs & blankets can be switched every now & then bc both looked nice.
Beautiful job!! To redecorate a bedroom on a $400 budget is awesome! You can have a beautiful, comfy, and cozy home without having to break the bank if you shop around at stores like TJMax, Marshals, Walmart, etc., and often look more inviting than the designs in magazines. Great job!!!
Thank you for sharing a REAL HONEST makeover for the average person.
ALSO. . GUYS.. I wanted to remind you that you can take that little chest.. clean it real well and use some gel stain to redo it!! A nice walnut would cover imperfections and aligned with your headboard. Easy peasy. Gel stain it on top so you don't have to do all that sanding❤❤❤❤
She spent almost $500 on this room. That is plenty to really upscale a bedroom if you shop sales. No one is being rude, just trying to be honest and helpful.
I have just recently started to watch your channel, yesterday I watch the deck refurbish you did with your Dad, I love the dynamic you two have when working together. Also your partner seems to fit nicely into that dynamic. It makes me think back to working with my Dad.
What a lot of fun to watch. I would have put the night stand/dresser on the other side of the bed adding a table lamp for height and ambience, with the bed more in the middle, (doesn’t have to be in the exact middle). The visual composition would then move around the room instead bringing the eyes directly to the wall . There’s plenty of room and it also so much easier to make the bed. Of course, painting the drawer nightstand would be nice but if you put it on the other side, it’s not going to show that much anyway. I love your choice of bed linens and either rug color. I do agree with the consensus that a bigger rug would also better. It would help the composition as well. If you think of the room design like a painting it helps makeit visually more comfortable.
I would center the bed, move the tree to the corner by the window up towards the headboard. Then slide the little chest over. Love the look of the bedding.
i seen him 6 times tiff . we love your show here in the uk
6 is correct :)
You popped up on my feed and I LOVED it!!!! I love how you do your videos - funny and I'm learning! .......and the fact that you have a cat shirt on?? 'SUBSCRIBED'!!
(PS when you panned the rest of your house it's GORGEOUS!!!! You did a great job!)
Thank you ☺️🥰
Love to see how you use what you have and keep a smaller budget to create a totally new vibe in the room!
Me encantó! Aunque me gustaba más la otra alfombra 🙈 Yo pintaría la cajonera negra o un gris muy oscuro para que combine con la cabecera y los acentos grises que le pusiste a la ropa de cama. Y como la cajonera está ocupada con sus cosas, vendría bien un mueble junto al espejo para que los invitados coloquen sus cosas 😊
I love the idea of you giving different budget and time options for projects. This is definitely a beginner friendly project. Excited to see what you're going to do with the room in the next video!
Nintendo Zelda has a special place in my heart too. I loved the original in the 90s when my kids were little, and my youngest daughter and her partner bonded over a more modern version . . . and named my granddaughter (partially) in honor of the game's role in their romance.
Love your projects!
PS agree with floating the bed on center, simply to make the bed easier. It'll look better too - the bed is the star of the room, and that's the point for a guest room.
Great suggestion in the comments to paint that nightstand dresser, too.
Done in one day?! It's a Tiff Miracle! Your Dad's gonna love his new digs. Great job!
The room looks good, improvement from what it was. I like all the bedding choices you made, colors, texture, etc. I think all the grays and creams work together as neutrals for a comfortable guest room.
The only think I would do different - I would hang the 2 prints above the bed / headboard instead of centered on the wall.
Looking forward to your bed room renovation.😊
Looks beautiful 🤩 great job 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
The colours are awesome and I love how you dressed the room to look like a comfortable bedroom, but I would also have centred the bed and put nightstands on either side. 💐
it’s looks pretty good! I would suggest added some floor to ceiling curtains to soften up the space!!
I very much enjoyed this video. I LOVE your color choices and design choices, the room looks beautiful! Actually grey and beige combine beautifully and you can find many high end designers using that calming combination (such as candice olson ). The only thing I would add is a mattress water resistant protective cover before you put on the bedsheets. I did not do that in my guest bedroom. A friend asked me if her son could stay over for one night. I did not know he would completely wet the bed and I had to throw the whole mattress away. Since then I always use a protective cover and the mattresses last for years without any stains. Great job on this room!
I love watching the process of how to make a room feel new with a small budget. It’s realistic, not always will you get to buy all new things. Love your content!
You did a good job. I like the oval mirror it works well in the space. I would suggest you thrift some decor that can really help you stay in budget but give a lot of character. 😊
Moving into my first house soon, so your videos have given me so much inspiration and shown me that I don't need to spend a ridiculous amount of money to get things how I want them.
@@flooferdoofer Thanks for the advice!
I think it looks very cozy and warm!
Excellent! A few simple changes made a big difference 😊
I think you should center the bed and put the table on one side and the tree on the other, plus it makes it easier to make the bed. I think a little larger rug would look better, like a 5x7 and you could also paint the little dresser black.
Yes, the 2 pictures should be centered above the bed. Love your color palette. You could just spray paint the cabinet black to have the knobs pop.
But you did a great job!🌟👏💪🤗
I like the bed. Maybe consider painting the table black eventually. Also, I agree that you need a much larger rug. At least an 8x10, possibly bigger camouflage the brown carpet since everything else is gray and cream.
The grey throw would look great on the chair. Hang mirror in case you get a table or chest of drawers in the near future.
Great updates to a cozy guest room. Great job to start. Looking forward to what you add to reach $1000 budget.ove the music and sound effects !!
Love the music and sound effects. :)
👍looks clean and comfy; yes, next time centre bed, bigger rug, and warm, rich, relaxing colours ❤🇬🇧
if you want to update the dresser, try keeping the drawers the same since they look to be in good enough condition and paint the rest black. it will look nice with the contrast of wood and black with those brass knobs.
Very cozy!!!😊🎉❤
You did a beautiful job. I know it’s late in January but I really liked what you did.
Love it! I would eventually give the dresser another finish, maybe the fake Poterry Barn look. Looking forward to more videos. 😊
I think you should center the bed, put the bed side table on the other side, leave the tree.
It looks great, the one thing I would add is a side table or something to put a suitcase on.
I agree center the bed. That will also help when you make the bed.
Nice and cozy! Would step it up a notch by putting the bed in the centre of the wall! ❤😊
N64 👍👍 duke nukem 😁 looks great, my thoughts bar handles on the unit once you have given it a make over, you guys are so funny together 😊 love it xx
The grey blanket on chair ties into the grey pillows on the bed. Also, crumbled newspaper can fill up planter space and support moss on top. Looks like you have enough moss to have inch moss layer on top.
The bed needs to be centred.
Toni is awesome. I love when ahe just pops in and out of you videos 😂
Impressed with what you did for $412!
Hello from Alberta, Canada 🇨🇦. I Love ❤️ how it turned it!! You are very talented with Interior Designing!! Keep it up!! 🤗
I think the room turned out nice, but here is what I personally would have done different as far as furniture placement. I would center the bed under the cute pictures you put up. Then I would put the dresser/nightstand on the left of the bed. Oh, and I did like the other rug better. I love the tree and the basket you got for it looks amazing! Everyone has different styles, so I was just saying what I would do. Overall, the room makeover was great. You did a great job with picking the throw pillow covers. Very nice 😊 New subscriber here!!!
The room looks beautiful! Loved shopping with you and Toni; you guys are hilarious!
Thanks so much!!
Your cat is so cute!!!😊
My room needs a makeover ❤ too
the gray blanket on bed seemed more inviting and cozy
❤ Looking good for the budget you started with I didn't think it was going to work🎉🎉🎉 and I like to renew addressed all the issues that you would have liked to have done but because of the budget you didn't so good job 💫💫💫 stay encouraged and encouraging be good to yourself peace and blessings 🙏💜🕯️
Thank you for sharing. My suggestion would be, keep what you have in there. I would paint behind the bed only. Maybe a light gray. Center the bed. Hang curtains and spray paint that stand. Call it a day. To really make it, hang a tv on the wall.
Unsolicited comment, but decorator here, for using what you have you created a nice room. A couple of suggestions, the bed shoved in the corner creates an unbalanced space; center it on the wall and put the plant in the corner. If you are set on two nightstands, you could use a small table on one side, they don’t have to match to look good. The darker rug would have been better as it gives your room a foundation and brought more of the colors together. If you plan on investing more in the future, get a bigger rug you can put partway under the bed that comes out on both sides and the bottom; it gives a more finished look. That dresser could be refinished; lots of work; or it could be painted with chalk paint. Chalk paint can go over a sanded finish without having to take it down to the wood. Good luck, you created an inviting space.
I like the green rug best, nice room
I’m so happy I stumbled across your vlog!! The room looks great!! As an additional DIY, perhaps paint the little chest of drawers to match with the rest of the room. You could also center the bed and put the little chest of drawers in the other corner so it doesn’t stick out so much with the off color. Otherwise everything looks great and you just got a new subscriber. ❤
You did a great job with this room. Thanks for sharing with us!
it looks so gawjuss Tiff - love the calmer feel to the room :) xxx
Thank you Claire 🥰
And everything looks beautiful 😊
I’d love painting the dresser black to go with the bed frame also using a stool on the other side of the bed with a coaster would be sweet touch
Thanks for inspiring me ❤
I think you did a great job! Definitely picked up an idea or two.
I love shopping estate sales. I find unique and beautiful items at reasonable prices. Often, you can get great deals on area rugs as well. I agree you need to center the bed. It is better for the night stand to be offset by the plant.
I LOVE how it came out! Everything really came together nicely., 😍
5 times for the little square! I enjoy all your videos and I especially liked that huge deck you helped your dad rebuild. You all did a great job. Just rebuilt mine too, but the Sunshine State rains so much I haven't been able to stain it yet and hope it doesn't get ruined!
Looks lovely. Comfy and cozy. ❤
I love it❣️Good job 😉 I love all the colors you chose. ❤
Room look Great! Since it’s a guest room, I would add a matress cover
Niiiiccee!!! You can recover/reupholster the chair and refinish the small dresser in the future, but just dressing both pieces up made a ton of difference. And love the mirror, that is a great touch!!
YES! Candy in the shopping cart scene! Woooo!
I don't really comment but the editing and pacing of your video is fantastic. It feels like an HGTV episode, well done!
Definitely center the bed. The overall look is very nice. You dad will like it
Whenever I try to do a quick limited upgrade, I always try to improve with the end goal in mind. I was thrown by the grey walls, the first thing I would have wanted to change. The moment I saw the green cushion cover, my thoughts went that way. But it's spring here. I would have chosen the darker rug because that would have thrown emphasis to the bed. Along with others, I would have moved the bed out from the wall, because that's how you make a bed easily. Despite all that, I think it turned out great, cosy for winter. It has helped me with my own plans to redo 2 spare rooms. Although I probably will paint walls first. (If you saw them, you'd know why.)
I love the room the way it is, simple and cozy, the only thing I would change is the furniture by the side of the bed, I think you can bring that to live changing the color maybe to black with the gold nobs, that is going to make a big difference and is going to match the bed frame
M&M's used to have a Coffee Nut Flavor that was AMAZING!! I WISH they would bring it back.
I bet your dad will love it when he comes to visit! 👍😉
