Finding New Ways to Improve Your Spaces 2023

I'm always looking for ways to improve and update the spaces in my home. Deliberately or sometimes even when I'm in the relaxed state of watching TV! In this video you'll see something in particular that buggggged me, and what I did to fix it.

Between the color pop of the pillows …the cohesiveness of the wall paint and the pieces that you painted… just make the room !! (not to mention the TV )…your house looks fabulous. I so enjoy your creativity.

Love love love all the updates. Painting the framing white made a big difference and running the squash colored pillows and ottoman through your living room tied everything together. Art on tv wrapped everything in a neat bow. Bravo!

I think your changes brighten up the space.

Your room transformation looks beautiful, Rebecca. The two rooms look fabulous together. 😀

I love how the tension between the cove moulding and the top of the window casement has been removed, creating a sense of flow and airiness. The tv/art piece definitely enhances the overall feel of the room and allows you to forget about an art piece over the tv (which I would automatically have filled over a regular tv with blackened screen). The only thing I might have done differently was to mount the tv onto the wall in order to place the art more spacially into the centre of the space. The pillows tie it all together magically. Well done, I very much enjoyed this video showing how the smallest of changes can have some of the largest impacts.

Love all of your updates. Your two rooms flow perfectly. Those pillows work so well with your counter stools. It's so cohesive. That was a magnificent idea to paint the headers the same color as your walls. Great job👍🏼

Hello, I’ve seen your vídeos here and there, and I’d like to share that you seem so sharp, so pretty and elevated. And what keeps me coming back is that though I know your clients are on a different level, you still speak in a manner that doesn’t make me feel like I have to purchase lots of expensive furniture to make my house work… because I couldn’t do that. I love what you did with your subscriber’s videos, suggesting changes with their own furniture… such a clever way to share your knowledge and attract more people.

I love the painted out blind housings. Huge difference. Also love the pillows and tv art. And Rebecca you continue to inspire and entertain. Hugs and kisses to you

[mariareyesrosado]

The upgrades look great. Especially the windows, so beautiful and elegant. ❤

[jorgisanders]

Painted out so much better and I love the soft look !
ITS A WINNER REBECCA. !!!

[pamelairvin]

The painted casing now sings, "light and airy!" without distracting from the lovely window treatments. What you call squash, I see as caramel...and the pillows and pouf are the perfect accents. Wish we would have thought about a TV with "art-ability"...what a great resolution to the black box conundrum. Blessings!!!

*Cohesiveness via Color, Pattern and Texture* . I have a semi-open concept space and it always amazes me how using a tight color palette improves the flow. Navy, light blue, ivory and beige were my picks for my Summer 2023 Re-fresh. Stripes for the pattern, and hyacinth baskets for texture. Each of the main living spaces has varying percentages. Great choices Rebecca, the windows are greatly improved and that simple addition of a color pop with the pillows and ottoman.... Chef's Kiss!

[samanthacardimon]

Yep! Painting the window treatment area made a massive difference. More so than I would have thought. (And, as an aside, moving the curtain rod up in my house is such a game changer! My window treatments are sooo much better!)

[BeyondClaire]

Absolutely beautiful! Thank you Rebecca for showing us how just a few changes can give you a new refreshing space! 🥰

[claudetteleblanc]

Love that you painted the crown moulding. And the pillows and poof are perfectly matches your kitchen stools. Now the two room gives a nice flow. Thanks my talented one. 💖💖💖💖

I am so excited Rebecca! After 14 yrs my husband and I are purchasing another home. We lost ours, well we know where it still is we just couldn't live there anymore, in that horrible 2008-9 inflation/everyone lost their job debacle. We've been renting since then. Now we are getting 4 acres and a home in Tennessee! I am so ready to make my home MY home, ya know? And yeah, I'm doing what I want and am not going to worry about resell value. Why? Because I'm not renting from the next owners. They'll do what they want to do to it too. So, onward and upward! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

My husband is a carpenter, when he gutted our kitchen 18 years ago. He would mock up the cabinets from old appliance boxes and we would live with it. After several days I would know exactly what I wanted . So after 18 years I still love my kitchen...I have changed a few finishes but other than that, I still love it !
Love everything you did...

[lyndacarrow]

Wow! I love everything you did. it is glamorous but very comfortable at the same time. You wouldn't be afraid to sit on the couch to watch tv or have a conversation. I agree that the three changes made a big impact on the overall look you were going for. Bravo!

[mjrh]

For sure...the window valances painted out in white makes a HUGE difference -- they look much nicer and pulled together.

There is always room for improvement I have found when you establish the decor in your living spaces - your perspective changes and all of a sudden you have that a-ha ! moment of this can look so much better (budget dependent).
We live in spaces where after a period of time things become invisible, art work for example can suddenly become more vibrant when you move it around to new locations in room/s.
I always enjoy your offerings and advice and plan to put them to use in my ever increasing to-do list.
