    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!

    • @KristenMcGowan
      @KristenMcGowan  Před 2 lety +106

      Thank you very much!!! Lots of effort goes into these videos thank you for appreciating it!!

    • @lizziegreen8592
      @lizziegreen8592 Před 2 lety +67

      I would say better than HGTV it is more as if a friend is talking to you, love that about her 💫

    • @stormygirl1704
      @stormygirl1704 Před 2 lety +33

      She should have her own show on HGTV!

    • @patriciadejesus4051
      @patriciadejesus4051 Před 2 lety +20

      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.

    • @susanholland6828
      @susanholland6828 Před 2 lety +12

      Agree she’s better than 3/4 of hgtv she needs her own show ❤️💕❤️💕💕

  • @megansmith6563
    @megansmith6563 Před 2 lety +79

    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!

    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!

    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. ❤

  • @impatriciaparker
    @impatriciaparker Před 2 lety +66

    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! ❤

  • @teresalacubana4035

    @laurie812 Před 2 lety

    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!

    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!

  • @shannonmcrae1364
    @shannonmcrae1364 Před 2 lety +118

    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

    @kimbullett3293 Před 2 lety +44

    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

    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.

  • @phyllisjrcrestorationdecordesi

    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

      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.

    • @jenniferlynn3537
      @jenniferlynn3537 Před 9 měsíci

      @@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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!!!

    Quick question…the room is gorgeous, but why do designers not include personal pictures?

    • @LoviPon
      @LoviPon Před 2 lety +6

      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 :)

    • @AshzxQuidYT
      @AshzxQuidYT Před 2 lety +4

      @@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!
