Love how she ratet the function of the giant mirror right next to her bed a 10/10 😅😉 girl is spilling the REAL tea 🔥
I would LOVE a mirror like that next to my bed, especially in this smoky glass... so sexy!
@@MeriamSopiaT agreed!!!
I noticed. "We" really love it. 😆
👀
lololol
Kelsey's rating of her fireplace mirror was classic Kelsey. Love it, hate it, good, bad, perfect, too glam, too heavy, best thing ever, think I'll get rid of it. Somewhere between a 2 and a 9.
I think it’s perfect for the space
Can we have a episode of making home at the end where kelsey fixes all the things she says she'll fix 😂.
1,000% yes please!
Yeah a fix it and flex it where they flex their fixing skills.
@@vasundajay I love that title, too. New series!
Omg that's so mean, I'm here for it 😁
Those silver door hinges!!!
It would helpful if you did a video on how to choose types of paint. Like when to use matte vs egg shell, and furniture paint vs wall paint, and spray paint vs normal paint. I’ve been redoing my room and my daughters nursery (including repainting second hand furniture) and it’s been kinda hard to decide!
woww things i didnt know i wanted to know!
If you are repainting a crib, for example. Or anything your daughter will spend time on: go for valspar wood paint. They do a furniture range, but any paint for wood (eggshell, satin or gloss) will be great and hold up nicely. I say valspar specifically because the paint is acrylic, so it’s really sturdy and easy to clean. It’s also water-based so it’s perfectly safe for your baby ❤️
(I was a paint pro at B&Q, and then worked in a dulux decorator centre) ☺️
Matte good for ceilings, eggshell & satin good for walls (bedrooms, bathrooms, family rooms) semi gloss & gloss good for trim.
@@meghangrier7283 eggshell and satin are wood finishes (in the UK, at least). Silk, mid-sheen and matte are wall finishes. Is it different in the US?
For walls at least, in kitchens, you usually do a higher shine paint (high gloss or semi-gloss) for cabinets as it’s more durable and that’s a high traffic area. Same for doors and trims, those also can be high gloss or semi gloss. Bathrooms and chair rails can also be semi gloss as they are slightly less high traffic but still pretty high traffic. You can use a satin finish on the walls for family/living rooms, dens, foyers, hallways, kids bedrooms, etc as that’s still a higher traffic area and it’s easy to clean. Eggshell is between satin and flat, and you can do this for dining rooms and living rooms and adult bedrooms. It’s good for spaces that aren’t used as often as the main spaces. Flat paint is used most often on ceilings as it hides scuffs but it’s hard to clean (so you put it places like ceilings that don’t need cleaning). It’s also good for sitting rooms or studies that don’t get used by kids or visited often.
I was reading the subtitles at the start and it says we are the ‘celery girls’ 😂😂
Omg yes lmao 😂
Had to check but sure it says celery girls!!!,! Hahaha that’s hilarious 🤣😂🤣😂
I turned on captions and replayed the video just to see the celery girls. 😂
lol
Hilarious
THANK YOU FOR YOUR NEW SERIES!! I live with my late husband's parents and with me being 29 years old and them in their 60's with health issues while raising 2 of their grandchildren who are young boys, there is a lot that needs to be fixed around the house. My husband used to do these things for them but since he past away I am now the one who fixes things. This series will help me properly fix things around the house!
💜💜💜
thats amazing
You should do this concept with your TSG office.
Absolutely YES
yes yes yes!!
YES
I need to know how that black hole bathroom is going hahaha
Yes please!
The back of that leather chair looks like a vulva.. love it
still waiting for beckys kitchen makeover.
All the home decor & improvement places in Ontario are out of stock on like.... Everything these days so I wouldn't be surprised if she's just waiting on stuff
Posted.
IDEA! Consider putting together a Google form and posting that (regularly) on all your socials for people to put their requests in for the How To Go Do series so you don’t have to search thru multiple platforms & locations!!
Or just put it it the videos like a link because not all their followers have social media!
yesss
"How to deal with the electricity when hanging a pendant light", as in how to connect the wires, because I'm no electrician but I'd like to know how to do it! And btw, cool series idea
Yes this please! Lights are something I'm still scared to do
Yes please! I just moved into a new apartment that I need to install a lighting fixture!
first of all you need to sing the breaker song or what are you even living for
Why not get that information from an expert, instead of some girls who just happen to have done this a few times?
I'm an electrician. Giving advice can lead to criminal negligence if you're not qualified and somebody causes a fire using your advice. Maybe they could work with a CZcamsr/electrician for some references
I think that using poop brown in the bathroom was a brave ass move.
The important thing is that Kelsey loves it! And it's her bathroom. :D As for myself, I love many shades of brown....but NOT that one! LOL It's all about one's personal choices in one's own home. ♥
honestly BDE
Big Dookie Energy
brave _ass_ move haha
Haha I actually thought that was a pretty color but I get the bathroom association!
As someone who just bought her first home, with plenty of impending DIYs, your new series couldn't have come at a better time! Thanks!
The faux leather chair in Becky's living room is cool, but I can't look away from that "pleat" in the back of it .... it's very ..... evocative.
I do love the "Malm-esque" fireplace ... and since you Zhuzhed it up and made it look more integrated into the space, It's fabulous there. I love the base you made.
I adore Kelsey's Ikea bench .... that being said, she does get a little in her head about some of her decorating choices & sometimes she agonizes a little too much. Most decor is changeable AND sometimes "living with" something makes you appreciate it more (or less).
Great video .... 10/10
I was thinking the same thing. Very “Georgia O’Keefe”
Same thing with me for the leather chair lol
@@ericaquint1895 hahahah you're not wrong.
yes, do a part 2! Share more regrets! Particularly things you sold/gave away
I really love that HUGE mirror in Kelsey's living room. It's so stunning!
tutorial please on sanding, staining( pre stain, wood conditioners) and sealing furniture please! I function on step by step tutorials and have a lot of projects I need to do! :)
yeessss
Yes yes yes, 100% seconded! I’m about to buy a walnut kitchen countertop to use as a desk, and I’m pretty sure I’ve exhaustively researched it enough now to have a good idea of what I’m going to do... now I just need to get all the supplies! (Including a sander that collects all the dust so I can do it inside, because there’s nowhere else to do it 🙈)... but I’ve also got one of those ubiquitous IKEA wood stepstools that’s super grubby-looking that I really need to give a makeover, plus an old school Expedit 4x4 unit (it got skinnier frames and became the Kallax) in the dark black/brown espresso colour, which I actually don’t hate... but the top of it especially has been dinged up and scratched, so if I’m going to keep it, it needs a facelift!
Out of all of these, the bathroom color is the one thing that still crosses my mind a lot 😭😅
Lmaoooo yes 😭 I be sitting in my bathroom, thinking is Kelsey still in that poopey toilet somewhere?
I’m having flashbacks to all the pretty colors she could have chosen 😭 it’s ptsd for sure
And she said it’s staying so I’ll be having some sleepless night over it 😩😭
I think the mirror in Kelsey’s bedroom would look so much better with either just a frame, or some faux vines/ivy running around the sides of it.
The asks about Kelsey’s regrets on her window bench were because we all watched her make it so easily and beautifully and were like “that’s too good to be true”
Love how you both have 2 different styles yet they have the same wall sconces 🤣 like the mantes one 😂
And one cost $200 while the other cost $30.
@@poodlegirl55 lol that's irony 😂
@@poodlegirl55 yea I think that's classic Becky/Kelsey too, because Becky is more willing/able (2 income household) to spend money on stuff that you could easily find a lot cheaper.
For Kelsey’s entry built in, the only thing that “bothers” me is the space between the bench and the walls. If it was all sealed in I think it would read better. But overall I like it
for your "how to go do" episodes. I would like one on how to take room measurements with windows and doors. It seems pretty easy but I always end up with a jumbled mess.
Wow. I just paid a landscaper hundreds of dollars to eradicate the pampas grass from my yard. Would have saved you some fronds if I'd known. LOL
You could’ve made bank if you sold it all on Etsy
Pampas grass is a really awful invasive species where I live, so I don't blame you for wanting it gone!
@@sarahwenger4479 Sounds like it! Keeping my fingers crossed that it is really gone.
I know Austin isn't part of the Sorry Girls, but he is kinda. I'm interested in hearing (either from him or just Becky sharing the info) how he feels about how the house is decorated and how he feels about all the changes. Also, that wallpaper you did your stairwell with (the stuff from 1970's) how has it held up?? Was the glue ok or is it starting to droop?? Do you still love it?? Thanks for sharing your lives, I love watching what you girls come up with :)
talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender
I can't WAIT for the living room, kitchen, and the backyard makeovers Kelsey!
Also Becky, when are you gonna show us part 2 of your kitchen? And are you gonna make over your basement and guest bedroom?
Kelsey should do a textured wall like DIY Dani just did in her stairwell for her toilet room!!
Literally my first thought too lol
I think a wallpaper could be interesting in there
Can you do a tutorial on hanging things that require drilling into the wall? Like shelves and heavier items!! I'm always so confused by stud finders and like how I don't accidentally drill into wires or something that's not meant to be drilled into!
Agree!
I think you would like Rachel Metz. She just had a big collaboration with a stud finder company and made really detailed videos about it. And she is boss
@@kleineblute6329 ooohh I will check it out!! Thank you! :)
Yeah, I once watched a video on this by some Scottish electrician(?)/contractor(?) guy, and he left me scared to death that I'm going to drill into wiring 😬.
@@sheelfjohnson right!!😂😭
Kelsey, I can guess why that large vintage mirror facing the bed got 10/10 for its function, and I applaud you for that😉👌
Ew.
@@fthurman 🤣🤣
I feel like kelsey's mantle mirror is more vintage/classic. It reminds me of like an old antique brass mirror. I don't think anyone is thinking glam when they see it.
I need to replace my bathroom faucets/shower fixture/kitchen faucet, and would love to see a tutorial for your How To Go Do series! I could probably go through my house and come up with an entire list for you unfortunately...looking forward to the new series!
Question for the new series: all the random repairs that you need to make when moving out of a rental apt/house/condo etc
LOVE that corner shelf and hooks with coats and hats, the round corners add style, I wouldn't change it.
the editing lately has been amazing :)
I like the big mirror in your bedroom too Kelsey! Another way to create a fully mirrored wall on a budget could be to place a few more smaller mirrors around the big mirror. Like a gallery mirror-only wall I guess?? Haha. It could have a mosaic effect, like a smashed mirror wall maybe. 😉🙌
Love the completely different styles!! I would love to see you two design animal crossing houses XD
omg totally second this!!! ❤️❤️
Or the Sims or House Flipper lol
Omg can we officially make this a formal recommendation for TSG next video? Pleaseeeeee??! I would love for you to make that.
Try epoxy countertops for your green counters in the kitchen
Becky don't use a steam cleaner on the lounge you need the carpet shampooer to clean fabric!I just bought a bissell one and it's great. Had to do 3 passes where the dog lays but it's saved!
thank you for being so real about furniture prices! like kelsey said, $250 is a good chunk of change and not everyone can afford a $1200 mirror!
you should drop a link to the video you mentioned at the start in your description gals, creators supporting creatorssss 💕
This!!
czcams.com/video/BnQLu6h7udA/video.html
Thanks for at least having auto captions up on release, but properly formatted captions would really help make your content accessible! I know it’s extra work, but I also know plenty of creators that run their channels solo, with longer videos, and a fraction of the followers you guys do are able to make their videos accessible :)
I wish they'd open their videos to community captioning! (I think it's called that?)
I don't think anyone who watches their videos would be immature enough to make the captions wrong, and they wouldn't even have to do any more work
Or they could just hire somebody, it'd mean a lot not only to people who are hard of hearing but also neurodivergent people :D
This
I think youtube got rid of community captioning so it’s no longer an option to do.
@@hadiy101 There's an alternative that I forgot the name of. Frank James uses it.
@@hadiy101 that's frustrating. I know some people probably misused it but it was really useful for smaller creators with less time on their hands
Hopefully the team behind TSG will consider hiring somebody to do their captions though
LOL Kelsey’s “OH GOD” reaction at the end is gold.
We definitely picked the same color when you did the swatches for the toilet room so I like it
I love the mirror but I agree, I don't love the gold so I would just paint in black.
Honestly after rewatching the toilet/ water closet makeover for over 7 times it grew on me and I think its actually quite unique and I actually did it in my space aswell and its soooooo cozy looking.
I adore the vintage mirror next to Kelsey's bed, I think it makes the whole space feel beautiful and cozy w/o being cramped or dark.
Could you gals do a How To Use A Sewing Machine? X'D
I loved how honest Becky was. Did Kelsey rate anything below 7? LOL
I was relieved they were BOTH super honest! I was so scared everything was going to be 8-10/10
The runner
She also rated the kitchen rug a 4/10
Yesss the shoutout to Janea! 💕 She is such an inspiring and talented creator!
I really want to ask Kelsey if she get cold showering in the winter because the shower is not enclosed. I once had a shower like that and I was FREEZING 😖
maybe it’s the heated floors in my basement but I don’t find it cold!
@@TheSorryGirls Getting heated floors sounds like a GENIUS idea!
@@heatheranne1582 Totally agree! Too bad heated floors are a luxury here.
It's simply not something standard in Los Angeles. ❤Love the 👀 look of tile, but the feel (& comfort in temperature) is a whole different story.
Lovely in local apt/homes during our ☀️ triple digit🌡heatwaves. Tile can be a ❄ freezing ❄ misery😨 even in our considerably more mild Winter & Spring seasons (where lows can dip between 30s-50s°F).
🤗Never ever felt as chilled or uncomfortable w/vinyl or hardwood flooring here. Not even during those peak seasons when the thermostat is kept between 65-68°F to save💰on high energy costs 🌎.
🛫 Visited a ☃️snowy cabin in Park City, Utah🌨. Without that in-floor heating, the beautifully tiled mudroom, kitchen & bathrooms would've been freaking unbearable! 🐧 Brr!
☘ Bridget from Cali ☘
(using pal's YT acct)
@@teresacarle294 😜
Changing door handles is something I would really like to learn
❤ the hallway hooks, cute, unique, functional & look decorative even when nothing is hanging on them
I love your Loft Vibes series. And just yesterday I was watching some videos of house renovations and was thinking to myself: The Sorry Girls make such renovations on the budget, one doesn't need to pay so much money for that! I would love to see more of your videos where you DIY decorate places. You are so creative!
okay i gasped on the expensive pampas grass, i’m so sorry those were so expensive but they’re beautiful! 😭 i found some on the side of the road from a wedding the night before, score lol
We had a burnt orange electric fireplace in the 1960s-1970s! I love that thing and wish we still had it. It was just like the fireplace on That Seventies Show.😃
The Bissell Little Green isn't advertised as a "steam" cleaner. Maybe the term "proheat" they use is confusing. I have an ancient version and it sprays water and/or cleaning solution and then suctions it up, leaving the surface damp. It's incredibly noisy, yes, but it has gotten out kid spills, pet poop and vomit out of our carpet leaving it good as new. It's for spot cleaning messes, not steam cleaning sofas. Expectation vs. reality.
LMAO - I can't believe my question made the video. I asked because we have the same exact one. My spouse has complained to me about ours, "It's not heating up, why isn't it heating, why is it called proHEAT if it doesn't heat up, why is it so loud." I can say, it has gotten the pet stains out of the carpet. Another youtube swears by theirs for the furniture flipping (Furniture Flipping Teacher). Anyhow, I totally did a fangirl squeal when I realized Becky's hate on the Green Machine is on the same level as ours. :)
@@Shadicats Fun to have your question answered! My machine is so old, it doesn't have the heat feature, so even if I put warm water in the tank, it comes out cool. However, as I said, it has gotten some of the grossest messes out of our carpet with no trace, so maybe give it a second chance?
Really excited for the new series. Like a home ec/shop class for adults!!
The back cushion of that leather chair looks like a.... it’s interesting
Hahaha yes, read my mind 😂😂
Kelsey, I love the brown trend. Just not the shade of brown in your bathroom 😂
I agree. If she had used the same brown as the bathroom vanity it would have looked very elegant.
Agreed! I dunno if it's just the lighting on the camera that makes it look so poopy. I love the brown trend with more really light browns or darker richer woody browns. But maybe once she adds texture to the top half it will look better.
@@movi3srock I think the brown she chose has too much red in it. That's why it repels the eye.
I really like everything about Becky , she is so realistic
not that fire sound effect 🤣🤣🤣 i think the rich red brown color in the bathroom looks really chic and sophisticated
Kelsey: “Hopefully get back into the swing of things “
Lockdown 3.0 “I don’t think so”
Loved this concept! We didn’t get any teaaaa tho 💁🏻♀️😋
Adding some moulding in the bottom to match the foot moulding and a thinner flat moulding to the sides would make the entryway shoe storage look more built-in, I would highly recommend doing it since it will take it to a new level.
That "too glam" mirror at Kelsey's could use a frame upgrade, maybe either paint over the gold or add a wood veneer? It's the perfect shape for that spot!
„How to use a sewing machine“ 😆 Cause I used to know, got one as a present and forgot how to use it after 10 years not using it 😂
I’m so glad you’re keeping the brown. It’s bold and brave and so you! I really like it.
And the coat rack shelf inside of Kelsey’s door would look SO good painted black!
When Jnay gets a shout out 😭❤️ love her vibe
I expected this to be more about quality than whether y'all (still) like the style of everything and how it matches your other decor 😅
I am so glad you are starting a new "how to" series. I am 63 and starting to buy my own tools. It is scary, but I just have to try some new DIYS! I will be referring to you videos.
The “How To Do” series is a wonderful idea! Thanks!
Love the new how to do series!!! Very VERY helpful!
Oooh... I want to know how to actually hardwire a light. So far all I have is Kelsey’s great song about turning the breaker off :)
It's like watching a Canadian DIY versions of America Ferrara and Anna kendrick.
I'd love a tutorial on how to paint different shapes on your walls, like arches or circles or even just neat straight lines across the middle of the wall.
Ahh Kelsey! Omg honestly. I love your bed side table lamps. I want some lol. Also love the tinted mirror. I think it would look great behind your headboard. Also it inspired me to tint a coffee table glass black so I'm excited for that!
Love y’all so much. Gonna check out the new series ASAP. Literally need this info in my life
Love that you shouted out @jnaydaily
How to ideas: how to take off wallpaper (I have old wallpaper I need to get off), how to hang framed photos, how to change outlets completely, how to put in pocket lights and regular lights, how to install a door / window frame, how to use a power drill.
Now that you ask.... I need you to stop using “Tea” as a word for “strong opinion”
Tea more like is juicy hidden gossip
Thank God someone finally said this 😅 (it's also super weird when they say "y'all", because I mean... they're canadian, so... 🤷🏽♀️😂)
@@marinaoliveira8989 i think its bc its a gender neutral term and it is well known
Key word is JUICY
@@marinaoliveira8989 oh I will never come for any use of “Y’all” . It’s the best word.
@@marinaoliveira8989 I'm Canadian and I say y'all, too, sometimes. Because it's fun and funky! ;)
You should ask the person renting the upstairs if they want a makeover! Would love to see that!
I loved the colour of the bathroom from the beginning!
I have the West Elm rug Becky is talking about at the end - did it make my house look like I own a Husky for about one and a half years? Yeah, but it's almost completely stopped shedding now, had it for two years in case anybody needed that info! 😊
So beautiful. I love your style and use of layering.
I have the cheaper version of the little green, and love it! Obviously it’s loud since it should suck out the water. I clean my car seats and sofa and they look brand new. Also my very light gray rug gets cleaned once a week, and also looks new every time.
The “How to” series is an awesome idea!!! I discovered you when I was studying in Canada in 2017-2018, and since then you two have been my Canadian girls friends :) Since I have now moved back to Thailand, DIY is a lot more difficult as we don’t have tools and products to help as much as in Canada, this series will sure help me getting back to my DIY instinct! 🧡 Kudo for the great content, The Sorry Girls 😀!!!
I wasn’t the biggest fan of the bathroom color when that episode aired but seeing it now I loooove it! You were ahead of your time, Kelsey 😂❤️
Your bedroom is so Islandic looking - its awesome. But, I still question the poop room. Brown is not the problem, I think its the hue.
Great video! I love the color of your Bathroom Kelsey, don't change it. Looking forward to the new videos.
I still really don’t like the poop colored bathroom lol >.< this concept is so fun!
You guys have had to work so hard and have managed great content during lockdown. Would love to see more DIY for your team🥰👏
You should link Janae in the description :)
Becky, I love that you also use the "slab economy" in Canada... thought that was just an Aussie thing... having moved many times in my life, mates with utes are the best mates, 'cause they will help out for fuel and a slab... ;))
Kelsey - I love your brown & white toilet room and your diy shoe/entryway storage. Becky - I’m with you on the downstairs fireplace. It’s terrific. Because of you I started looking into electric fireplace inserts (to be more environmentally responsible) but they all look really cheesy.
I'm glad you're enjoying the brown, even if the rest of us schmucks aren't feeling it. It's your space!
I really liked that. And also I appreciate that you still work together and bring out new ideas.
I just want to share with the world that for people that watch with CC (closed captions/subtitles) I DIED at the intro because you introduced yourselves as the Sorry Girls xoxox love it but the CC said 'we are the celery girls' DEAD hahahaha
Very excited about the new how-to series, don’t get me wrong, but I was so hoping that you were going to announce that you were coming out with a book. I would pre-order that, HARD!!!!!!
Don't take any crap from anyone. I love your bathroom color!
