Thank you to Fiverr for sponsoring this video!

In this video, I hired a bunch of different interior designers and architects from Fiverr to see how they would personally redecorate my tiny house. I really loved the choices that they came up with and am excited to try them out. What ones did you like (and hate) the most? Let me know in the comments! :)

I prefer rug 1, but make sure it's an easy to clean rug. I also liked the bookshelves and reading area. The plants really make it pop. I think they all did a wonderful job with mood and staging.

I'm an architectural technician so here's my ideas for the bedroom.

As it is long and narrow, I would pull the bed more forward into the room towards the windows. You could then build full height wardrobes along the back wall. I'd leave about a metre (minimum) between the wardrobes and the bed head so you have space to open the doors and to move around.
That way the room will look shorter and you will gain a ton of storage for clothes and other objects.

Your current clothes storage is tiny and if you did my suggestion you could then install a small desk/dressing table under the window if you were losing the desk upstairs.

You could use the under window existing storage for more long term storage for things you don't need to access often like Xmas decorations or out of season clothing in storage boxes. You can never have enough storage IMO.

Hope this helps.

So many good ideas. I love the idea of adding plants and color. Also, wondered if you might like to add an upholstered storage bench at end of bed to hold extra blanket and pillows. The bench could be a good spot for guests to sit or use to hold open suitcase. Lovely to see you and Junior.

What a difference those pics over the stairs made. So simple yet so effective. Great video George

I think rug #1, and all of the upstairs designs look great! Especially like the reading nook by the skylight window.

From a BNB perspective, the corner dining is fine, typically id only eat breakfast at the place im staying and its perfectly fine for that. I appreciate having a desk as it gives me a spot to setup my laptop to backup photos etc and deal with some emails. And the pink coffee table is fine, there are plenty of men that like pink as well!

Rug #1, definitely. I really like your plant additions. It makes the rooms feel like the outdoors and somehow *bigger*, if that makes sense. The narrow shelves over the radiator are brilliant - just have to watch you don't put real plants there, as they'd dry out fast. Truly a talented bunch of fivvers. Thank you for sharing!

I like the first rug with the pretty swirls for your bedroom. The extra plants are nice if you are good at caring for them. I suggest plants that filter the interior air, like peace lilies for example. Just make sure you get plants that are cat friendly.

When I watched the original video I was completely blown away, what an incredible achievement. This is nice to see how things can be tweaked to create a different feel but I have to admit that I thought it was pretty near perfect to begin with

[tsanti]

It still blows my mind how people can replicate an entire room on a computer software so realistically! I also live for Junior’s antics 🥰🐈

i pretty much just sit here and wait for you to post vids. 🙂

Keep desk area for work area. Love rug under bed idea, but a 3rd option between too bold and too blah would be nice. The little shelves in BR and plants are great, but the one in bath seems too big. The wall art added to large expanse over stairs is brilliant. I like the living/kitchen area as is. Love ur videos and humor.

[TheMonkeybusinezz]

also agree on the storage bench at the end of the bed. or even a ladder where you can hang extra blankets for the bed. that makes a place a lot more inviting and cozy. In terms of rugs, i'd also go for something more interesting, but the best rug for an airbnb is from a company called 'ruggable' because they are washable - good investment in case people walk in with muddy boots. last advice would be to switch out the art in the bedroom although it is lovely, the scale is a little too small for that big wall, adding bigger artwork would make the space feel bigger :)

love the living room suggestions with wooden tables, reading chair and plants a lot. I would choose rug 1 for the bed room. I wonder why nobody suggested pulling the bed more towards the window to make the room look shorter and give you some space behind the bed (i.e. a book shelf for a few books or a small storage dresser and you can use the top for light, books and decoration behind the bed head. (Difficult to explain, would have to draw it...). Also love the plant in the bedroom. All in all great job, that you have done!

[meowzzies]

Definitely love the plants in most spaces, just make sure they're cat safe unless they're fake. Might I also suggest a cat tree for Junior 😹They make some pretty stylish ones now. Always fun to add vertical space for cats since they can utilize it.

Edit: Realizing my comment makes no sense now since you're renting this place out.. but you know for your next place ;)

[sallyschmitz]

I like the idea of hiring an interior designer this way - I am so lacking in this area. Good to see Junior too

Dear George, I didn't know anything of you before watching but I'm sure grateful that I opened up your page. I am very sorry you suffered. This is one of the most positive and uplifting personal video stories I have heard. Watching you make the cookies, watering your plants and caring for your cat while you spoke was a beautiful experience. I will watch this again on a regular basis to relive the feelings of support and gratitude your sharing gave me. I've been on a journey discovering the causes and effects of my complex post traumatic stress, the care required from myself and from professional supports for half my life. Knowledge, understanding and comradery is blissful. Thank you for making this and being kind and powerful enough to put it out!

Great video and great channel.
I strongly prefer rug #1.
The reading nook was nice but I suspect even airbnb guests would prefer having the desk workspace.
Remember you may reside there again someday and will want the desk.
