Whenever I'm watching Kristen's room makeovers, it's like I'm watching HGTV. The way it's filmed and all the different shots and angles shows how much time she puts into it 💛 It's so professionally edited!
Thank you very much!!! Lots of effort goes into these videos thank you for appreciating it!!
I would say better than HGTV it is more as if a friend is talking to you, love that about her 💫
She should have her own show on HGTV!
Agreed!! The filming and editing was one of the first things that caught my eye when I started watching her videos. So professionally done. Very impressive.
Agree she’s better than 3/4 of hgtv she needs her own show ❤️💕❤️💕💕
You should have your own show. This is better than a lot of the work I've seen on HGTV and yet it's actually affordable enough viewers can recreate the look. Love it!
Agree
This is one of the best proof of concepts, that high design does not require a high budget! It’s beautiful. ❤
Yes👏🏼 thank you!!
The idea of getting art from Etsy honestly and printing on Matte paper honestly blew my mind. Thank you so much for that. I can’t wait to finally use some of my cute thrifted frames!
Hi. Can u guide me what's the most affordable print service in the US.
I will say the one thing Kristen has taught me is to be patient with big projects! I love that she collects her pieces over time to put together these amazing rooms!! Its awesome 🤩
Same!
I’ve learned that taking your time and getting pieces as u find something u like is a lot better than forcing it and buying stuff just to fill a space.
This is so impressive, well done Kristen. I love seeing how much you’ve evolved as a designer, this is next level!
wow thank you so much!!
Not me almost crying during the big reveal. BEAUTIFUL. You are TALENTED. A lot of people just don’t have your eye.
I recently started organizing my house and found Kristen on the CZcams channel and I subscribed. The best decision I made! I honestly enjoyed watching your video and what I like the best is the fact that you let us know where to get the products you are using, so helpful. I’m blown away by what you come up with. Thank you for being out here, and helping us make our homes look like a magazine. ❤
Absolutely Stunning!! Looks like it's straight out of a magazine! Love the shades, the furnishings, lighting, gallery wall, rugs, and finishing touches!! EVERYTHING is just magnificent!! Please stand for your applause! ❤
czcams.com/video/HEtkr6XYkG0/video.html
This can literally be a cover on a book. I would purchase it, especially with all your makeovers/upgrades on every page🥰 Girl you are awesome ❤️
That would be amazing!!
Totally agree! What a beautiful room Kristen. You have outdone yourself.
I am honestly impressed by your style, the fact that you use affordable items and how well you put everything together. New subbie here!
czcams.com/video/HEtkr6XYkG0/video.html
Don’t be nervous about a white sofa! I took a chance and bought one 6 years ago and it still looks good - even with a black cat that loves it as much as I do. I wash the cushion covers every spring and fall with NON-CHLORINE bleach (I use Ecover), and a little borax. I use fabric softener because I hang them to dry and don’t put them in the dryer. If toddlers or dogs come to visit I just throw a blanket over it. Your living room looks lovely and I’m obsessed with your drapery solutions for such a massive wall of windows. Great job!
czcams.com/video/dviGkY570iQ/video.html
more than the decor or transformation, my favorite part of the video was (both) your GENUINE excitement bordering on disbelief that you get to have and enjoy this space. so wholesome! congrats on your continued success and growth!
czcams.com/video/HEtkr6XYkG0/video.html
It’s so cute!! I would love to see you do a living room make over or “tips” for people with young kids! So like no breakables or sharp edges, easy to clean fabrics, places to hide toys, etc
ahh yess please right? please do it😊
Not cute... It's beautiful!!!
What would be another great color sofa to add here if one has children and dogs?
Awwwww I loved Christian's expression at the end. You did such a beautiful job and he looked so proud of you
czcams.com/video/HEtkr6XYkG0/video.html
Y’all are so damn cute! His reaction was so genuine and heartfelt ; you could just see the shock and excitement in his eyes, like a kid on Christmas morning. Hope you’re very proud of yourself, Kristen. You did an amazing job with your talent! Feeling inspired, Kim
czcams.com/video/HEtkr6XYkG0/video.html
This looks so cosy and elegant. Great transformation Kristen!
czcams.com/video/HEtkr6XYkG0/video.html
It all looks beautiful! What color is the wall paint?
i love how much he loved it the smile on his face he is so proud of you and the beautiful home you are working on
That was my favorite part. He made me fall even more in love with it!
czcams.com/video/HEtkr6XYkG0/video.html
This is beautiful! As far as the shades I didn’t know how outdated vertical blinds looked. You actually saved me from making a mistake. The new shades you installed looks so much better.
Lo que Abba quiere para ti es lo Mejor, su Palabra dice que sus Planes para nosotros son de bien y no de calamidad para darnos un futuro y una esperanza, Dios te Bendiga, sigue Adelante tomada de la mano de Papá!
I’m a big Thrifter, so I was thrilled to see the thrifted items! I love the make over!!
czcams.com/video/HEtkr6XYkG0/video.html
I absolutely love everything you do. I do have to say, though, the best thing about this video was Christian. He seems so chill and kind and laid back. What an awesome guy. You two are the cutest and I am so excited and happy for you. You deserve it all. Great work! xoxo
He is all of those things!! And he loves the space so much which makes me the happiest!!!❤️
I absolutely adore the makeover. I’m currently working on renovating and updating a house that is 120 years old. I have been going back and watching your makeover videos to get some ideas! I really appreciate how you explain your choices and how to make rooms look cohesive.
Beautifully Styled and Decorated Kristen. It's soooo important that your husband feels at home when he walks through the front door. I'm sure he can relax from a hard day because of the love you infused in your space. TFS....Blessings
Christian's reaction was so wholesome! I love how this turned out! Amazing!!
czcams.com/video/HEtkr6XYkG0/video.html
Your hubby steals the show! I love how supportive and sweet he is. He didn’t just give the usual “looks great” he had examples and you could just tell he genuinely cared. So so cute
czcams.com/video/HEtkr6XYkG0/video.html
He looked a bit underwhelm to me especially standing there with his hand in his pocket, then later his reactions seemed a bit fake. She looks so much more into him than the reverse. She did a great job with the makeover even though it does follow a kind of trendy formula (white walls, matching sofa color, neutral accents, etc) that is a bit unoriginal but the result is still beautiful.
I felt that too! He loved it
@@rosieposie9564 This video is now nearing close to 2 million views. In Christian’s defense, it must be really difficult to react spontaneously knowing your response will be posted on CZcams and seen by millions. Besides which: it’s been my experience that most men are generally not all that interested in home decor - just so long as it doesn’t break the bank, they don’t need to be careful around it, and they’re provided with a comfortable place to kick back on.
In any event, the “shocked, amazed, thrilled” reaction is expected ...so you know. 😉He supported his loved one, which is what’s most important.
This is nuts Kristen and Christian's reaction brought tears to my eyes !!!! Well done is an understatement!!!
You should be thrilled with this makeover because it’s absolutely gorgeous! I love the colors, textures and patterns. I agree with Mark. The gallery wall is stunning. The thrifted lamp is the perfect accent for that wall.
czcams.com/video/HEtkr6XYkG0/video.html
Kristen, you are a decorator par excellence yet so real and simplistic in your approach. It’s as if you select the things that just belong in each spot. 🌹🌹🌹👍👍👍
I love Christian's reaction and how genuine his support for what you do is. That's a good feeling when your other half gets excited about what you're passionate about! I think this is my favorite of all your designs!
czcams.com/video/HEtkr6XYkG0/video.html
I ADORE this space. You've done it, Kristen...something I didn't think possible...I adore a light-coloured space. 😄It's light, it's bright, and oh-so-cozy. Very inspiring. Thank you. ❤
I love the color pallette!! SO beautiful, calming & cozy!! I ABSOLUTELY love it!!
The makeover is just so stunning. I'm awestrucked!!Really don't have enough words to appreciate your work❤❤
Kristen, thank you for always inspiring me into creating a happier and beautiful place to enjoy in. It’s always nice to see all the transformation. I’m always struggling with finding my sense of style but I love how you are able to mix everything together to fit your own style.
I just love watching you you getting so excited and so did your husband the room looks fabulous❤❤
Oh my goodness, Kristen! This is STUNNING! It looks so cozy, but airy at the same time. The gallery wall is probably my favorite. It definitely adds the cozy vibe to the living room. Fabulous job! You are a huge inspiration.
czcams.com/video/dviGkY570iQ/video.html
czcams.com/video/HEtkr6XYkG0/video.html
You two are so cute how you’re both admiring your work! Favourite part of the video! Beautifully done 😍
The double layer rugs, the gallery wall and the scaling of the furniture bring them all together. The textures and tonal are so on trend. You’re right the vertical blind had to go.. it’s instantly age the space. Your thoughtfulness content and editing is top notch.
Kristen made me get excited as she demonstrated the Lutron blinds. I am ready for this DIY project. Thanks you Kristen!😊
Absolutely gorgeous! I love that you include all of the items in the description box. Thank you for that!!!
🤍🤍🤍
Kristen, you did an amazing job. I absolutely love the transformation.
I'm actually a big fan of vertical blinds, and usually prefer them to curtains. I have to admit that I was really impressed with the Serena blinds. They looked really good. Hopefully they're available in my country.
Overall, I was also extremely impressed with the living room. The finished version looked fantastic. Well done on being able to envision something, then bringing it to life so well.
His genuine reaction was incredible 🥰🥰
Your living room looks amazing. I love the thrifted finds especially. I still haven't warmed up to those strands of big beads; too old for new tricks I guess lol. Thanks for letting us know about the digital gallery wall, a great resource.
Besides being creative, you are able to do so many handy things yourself! You’re amazing!
I just bought a house and there’s so much open space I was lost on what to do with it, this is what I had in mind but couldn’t picture it coming together like this! 🤦🏽♀️
Thank you, this looks so intimate and gorgeous 💁🏽♀️🎉🎀
I love Chris' reaction! You know him so well!!!
I love how you’re both genuinely excited about how beautiful it looks. Great job!!!
czcams.com/video/HEtkr6XYkG0/video.html
Love how this came out! Only been watching your content for a month or so now, but I can already see how well this fits your style. Appreciate your design perspective and descriptions on why you choose this or that and how you planned out the room. I can totally apply this to my own style :D Thank you!
czcams.com/video/dviGkY570iQ/video.html
His reaction made me so happy because he was stunned, just such a raw praise of her talent!
Ohh whoow, I watch your videos Kristen almost everyday repeatedly and i don't get bored. You are so professional yet presenting simple and elegant designs ever. Big up you are transforming our homes. Love you.
Amazing ❤️ I love evey design you do, I always start out skeptical and end absolutely stunned! The style you use to decorate rooms is so beautiful!
OMG it looks so much like model houses!❤️😘....I have been literally waiting for so long!
So excited for the new makeover!
Often, when you put together the furnitures, I am like "ohh, i don't see it. I don't think it's gonna work this time. I don't like the choices". And then in the end I end up speachless. Again and again. You are so talented!!
🤣❤️ just got to trust the process!
Youre an absolute genius Kris. your touch is not only magical and amazing but, priceless to say the least. thnx....
Definitely worth the wait! It turned out incredible!! I’m obsessed with the whole gallery wall set up including the armchairs 😍 Looks so cosy and homey yet chic
That’s one of my favorites parts too!!! It made it feel so lived in!🤗
Kristen your space looks amazing. That gallery wall is one of my favs in the room as well. You made all the colors and textures in your living room blend so well. Excellent work
I am watching your videos I give SO Much credit you are fearless love your vidios thank you 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️ I am so glad I found your channel 👍❤️🥰
Super comfy, cozy and fresh! Love the neutral colors! It’s soothing and calming.
I’m pleased for you that you feel like you are living in a story book, that’s so lovely 🥰 It looks beautiful and I’m doing a gallery wall next week so you gave me great ideas. Xx
czcams.com/video/dviGkY570iQ/video.html

czcams.com/video/dviGkY570iQ/video.html
czcams.com/video/HEtkr6XYkG0/video.html
Kristen, you are SO TALENTED! I absolutely love your style! I, on another hand am not talented at all when it comes to designing the rooms and was hoping that you could help me as I have no idea what or how to design the empty space.
Amazing effects and your parter’s reaction. Thanks for sharing your personal experience and not just a sample apartment 😍 you are so skilled! I love watching your makeovers, I’ve been watching you for a couple of years now 👌
Kristen, it is so beautiful! I absolutely love your decorating ideas. The plus side is you are so very, very practical!
czcams.com/video/HEtkr6XYkG0/video.html
The room is beautiful. Makes me want to redo my living room. You are very talented. Can’t wait for the next redo. 🏡
czcams.com/video/dviGkY570iQ/video.html
Omg. That floor lamp is gorgeous. I love your style Kristen. So calm a perfectly layered. Beautiful!
Both spaces look pretty and elegant. I love watching your videos because you do the transformation on a small budget and they turn out beautiful all the time . ❤️❤️
The furniture arrangement you chose is perfect for the space! Love how cozy and inviting it is! Such a transformation. Amazing job!!
czcams.com/video/HEtkr6XYkG0/video.html
Wow, this girl has STYLE! This was one of my favourite makeover videos. 👏👏👏
Thank you!!!❤️❤️
I’m so happy for you! You should be so proud of yourself. I have such a big smile on my face. I’m so inspired! Thanks for sharing 💚
This is an inspiring source of creative ideas for those wanting to transform their living space into a cozy haven. The incorporation of Serena Shades adds a touch of elegance and practicality to the decor project. The video's clear instructions and captivating decor choices make it a delightful watch for anyone looking to revamp their living room with a touch of luxury.
Absolutely stunning! Everything looks beautiful. You’re so talented!
czcams.com/video/HEtkr6XYkG0/video.html
"Dude, this looks so good." Dude, this is my favorite room you have decorated. I especially like that you didn't put a T.V. in there. Nice work.
No TV is just not real life
czcams.com/video/dviGkY570iQ/video.html
I am really impressed how the room turned out. The blinds and the wall with the pictures is my absolute favorite. The colors you chose was soft and elegant. Awesome job!
I absolutely love how much you thrift.
So beautifully and perfectly done. It sure does feel like I'm looking at a magazine cover. Your talent is undeniable ❤
czcams.com/video/HEtkr6XYkG0/video.html
Omg everything looks so beautiful 😍
Definitely needs to be in a magazine 👏
czcams.com/video/dviGkY570iQ/video.html
I loved the paint choices and most of all the molding and trim. The shades were definitely a bonus! You have excellent taste in furniture choices also!
I've watched this one over and over and over and over! Learned so many tips and tricks! Kristen is the best!!!!!!
Ahh it turned out incredible, Kristen!! Love how your style is evolving
Thank you!! This is the first time I've ever designed my own living room!!
czcams.com/video/dviGkY570iQ/video.html
I’ve been waiting one hundred years 😂🙌🏽 I have a similar dining room/ living room open concept like yours so this was so helpful!
I'm so glad!!
I just watched, and extremely enjoyed, this video. When it was over, I went down and sat in my living room and looked around. I noticed every single art piece on our walls has a memory or some sentimental value. We have photos of family on display on the fireplace mantel, even our coffee table reminds me a trip my wife and I took. After thinking over this video, I noticed there wasn't anything personal anywhere in your design. Even your gallery wall was impersonal, although very beautiful and inspiring.
I love your work, and I must admit I haven't watched every video, yet! It would be nice if you did a video on how to incorporate family heirlooms such as old lamps, music boxes, family photos etc. into your wonderful design ideas.
I'm looking forward to watching what you come up with!
The Serana smart shades look awsome! I have a 16 x 19 sunroom and I love it due to all its natural light but having to open ten shades daily in just one room can be come a pain after a while. Thanks for the idea! I love ❤ your channel!
I’m about to style a renovated room and I am shamelessly going to try to use all your ideas, Kristen!! You are super smart!
czcams.com/video/HEtkr6XYkG0/video.html
Me too! 😊
Love this. I would never think to layer rugs. Where do you put a TV though for the living room? Or do you have another lounge room for that?
Do people still watch TV? That's so 20th century
I love the puck light idea. I have the same problem with no outlet and this is perfect fix.
Thank you for sharing your space. Your gift is amazing.
After looking at the Serena shades by Lutron, I can’t imagine the amount of money these would have cost had they not sponsored. Holy cow, a simple 32x52 window costs over $860!!!
czcams.com/video/dviGkY570iQ/video.html
Quick question…the room is gorgeous, but why do designers not include personal pictures?
Quick answer: they're not "aesthetic" and too personal for a designer to use in a professional setting (for example a youtube channel or blog, or setting up a customer's house, they'd leave that for the actual customer to do). The thing with professionals decorating houses is that they want the audience to imagine themselves living in that house, and seeing another person's family photos breaks the immersion.
That and there's no accounting for personal taste, I personally REALLY don't like displaying family pictures, I just don't think it looks good (like an older person's home). To each their own I guess :)
@@LoviPon Everything you said, is so true. If you do want to do family photos, pick a space like a bedroom or something out of the main living spaces. I don't display family pictures in my main living spaces. I have two pictures, both are black and white and look like art. But it's a personal choice.
You said you're not sure if you wanted to keep the two big mirrors in the dining area, but I think they look really good especially after seeing the finished living room. It turned out wonderful!
Kristen you COMPLETELY outdid yourself! You did an absolutely AMAZING job!!!!
