15:44 Yes please. A giant rhinestoned peacock would look great. Perfect addition for the wall colour and honestly I really want to see how you would do it. The room is stunning.

Have you heard of Christine McConnell? She's the queen of all things dark and weird and darkly whimsical. She makes a great inspiration for dark rooms and vintage furniture (though I don't think she has a pink flamingo, or rhinestoned peacock ;-)). Also; next time just staple the back of the frame 🙂. Some woodfiller in the seams at the front, and you're good to go!

[fuchsfarben]

I love how affectionate the cat is with you, you got adopted Ariel! :D
For the big picture frame, it's better to either glue an extra L-shaped piece of wood to the back and staple that, or put glue on the edges and staple from behind, then fill gaps with wood filler. But you life and you learn, as you said :)

[sunnyquartz]

I would love to see you make a giant Beetle and rind stone it! like a Hercules beetle sewn together or sculpted and hanging on the wall or something

[vernieplummer]

I like how that wall color looks quite dark or light depending on the light hitting it. It's nice to have a change.

[iamnotmydepression]

Love it ❤
Rhinestone peacock but gothic...? Black, purples, blues and maybe a pop off bright pink would look so good.
Like seeing the house transformation process as well as your crazy sewing skills.

That is a beautiful living room you've made, and this video has it all: humour, drama, cat, DIY; I cried when you sanded and painted over those beautiful wooden chairs, but I forgave you when you (quite correctly) pointed out that Finland was robbed 🤣You were on the right track, though, when you made your picture frame. Just apply PVA glue on the surfaces that will be joined, and staple them together on the backside. Thanks for showing us your process of turning a house into a home 🙂

My Ex and I gutted to the studs and remodeled 3 different houses in 6 years. 1985- 91. So much fun and lots of wonderful memories. But OMG so much work! I miss having all that energy. Thanks for taking us on your adventures! The room Turned out wonderful. You can always add your personal touch to the paintings to make them your own. And less “Proper”

[kaytiej]

Oh, l totally understand the joy of not having to hem those curtains!

[YochevedDesigns]

OMG, that is a DREAM house! I love the choice of arsenic green on the walls.

[AmandaComeauCreates]

For someone who is self described not an interior design decorator you did fantastic with this themed room. Good job giiiirl

[Zillah]

Oooo I love the color. I think you should do things like paint a tiara on one of those guys in the paintings or paint a Big Foot in the landscape painting.

[thecadaver]

Your first attempt at framing was pretty good! If you want to try again, a few tips: join the corners with wood glue, then add the staples in the same places but on the flat side, they'll hold it secure while the glue dries and you won't see anything from the front. And if you want a super seamless corner, they sell little wax sticks you can rub in to fill in any gaps from the cut angle being off, but if you're going to paint it anyway you can just fill it with something like airdry clay and give it a quick sand to get it super smooth for way cheaper

[bohemiansusan]

It's nice to watch someone have fun doing a DYI decor project. It turned out well for you. In the years to come other ideas will come about and you'll find ways to mix it in over time.

I tend to love darker reds for walls but end up doing a dark beige or Tuscan yellow because being in darkness sets off my migraine headaches. I go with red, black and copper accents in decor. My tastes have changed a lot since my first project 40 years ago.

[lolabun]

"Not your cat" seems to also love the renovation! 😂

[moxielouise]

You're fab with the physical humor.i love watching everything you put out!

[deelirious]

I appreciate the cinematography. And the cat. And the rain and the rainbow.

[petapendlebury]

Looks great! One tip for small gaps in picture frames that are going to be painted - mix sawdust with wood glue and push into gap, smooth. When dry sand if necessary and paint!

[theladyw]

I 100% second the rhinestone peacock idea. 😊
