when you put the hanging lamps in your bedroom, put the golden lamps on your buffet for like accent lamps and give it a cosy vibe

[christelsievert]

Looks amazing - love all the little details.

Just subbed to your videos tonight. You're so lucky with your GWs in Houston! You have a great blank canvas for creating an amazing thrifted home ❤. Could you do the National park pics over the TV (i.e. create a gallery wall there)? And move the gold floor mirror to the bedroom; it will match your dresser knobs & bird lamp. Also start checking out the thrift linens for curtains. You'll be amazed how much you'll save there too! Can't wait to see your space grow! How fun!!

Great snags! Love the rug! You could put one of the gold lamps on the new buffet to light up that area, and yes, look for a tall floor lamp for the corner by the "vases" - it is really dark over in that area. I would also move the small rock lamp either lower on the ladder shelving unit or in the kitchen somewhere under the uppers. Then use the other gold lamp on the shelving unit, but more on the middle shelf, not the top. This makes a theme going around the space seem cohesive.
Look for a large tray for the coffee table to gather up the books and maybe remotes, candle, pumpkin, etc.
Happy decorating - how exciting!

[charlieehstephenson]

Yessss your mother is 100% correct with the pieces paint and stain she’s a professional

[lilo]

Looks so nice, no clutter.Very relaxing look.

[pamprier]

I loved the rug, dresser, sconce lights, and the 2 tall vases your mom picked out! It all turned out so well but those were my favs...good job!

[christinelilly]

I feel like the arch over the TV is hung too high.
Plants, plants, and more plants will be the icing on the cake!
I love the new table and chairs.
In the future add some curtains. Looks good!

[vanessagil]

I love everything you got and changed up!!! So much more colorful and comfy!!!

[krisdee]

Loved the dresser in your bedroom and the dining set is pretty! It's so cool that you and your mom worked together to DIY your new furniture. I can still remember a few videos back when you talked about getting a budget together to decorate your home. Glad you've finally done it!

[alynicrespilho]

This is so much fun, I love the dresser and the lamps! All of it looks lovely, great job finding chairs to match the new table. Love it

[sharonlausin]

There’s a lot that I liked. The lamp, rug, the dresser was amazing And the coffee table! You found amazing items. I can never find anmazing items at my thrift stores.

[striketochill]

Remember to turn the seam of the lamp shade toward the wall, I noticed they were on display on two lamps and that always looks kinda sloppy. Great finds!

[Tomatoe]

I love how everything came together nicely! Have you considered switching the living room and dining room? I believe there would be more flow and walking pathways. The tv could be hung where the ikea cabinet is. And the windows behind the tv can give a pop of color with some nice thrifted blackout curtains.

[hannahchante]

Love the dining room table and all the lamps!! You two did a great job ❤

[rosieroberts]

I most definitely prefer these HOME STYLING/DECOR videos as opposed to clothing, although those are fun on occasion.
Thank you for sharing your inspirations!!!😊

[kimsantamaria]

You could make a lamp shade from a thrifted basket, like almost a waste barrel like sized one? I think that would tie in so nicely and be cost afficent, love Kim

[patwyatt]

I would put a small shelf under the entryway mirror or a hanging basket for keys

[marywilson]

Dang girl your lamp gods were with you! Ha

[lutgardedh]

I'm glad there is more color with the rug and the pillows in the living room, i find it still a little dark, some lamps perhaps greetings from Belgium
