the makeover journey of this entire floor has been MIND BOGGLING. 🤯 SO INSANE. You CRUSHED IT! 🔥🔥🔥
Enjoying the process is important. Don’t hold out for perfection to be happy. Just know you will get there and enjoy today.
I think the bamboo blinds were a great call. Even if the windows were new, I'm not sure there'd be anything wrong with that layering. The room looks beautiful and warm!
I love the blinds thank you for sharing I may do this in my tiny home.
You go girl fantastic marvelous beautiful I like your style I really enjoy watching you.
Please don’t feel like you have to wait until a project is complete to show us! I’d love to see the process from start to finish over the course of however long it takes because that’s REAL. The reality is, this stuff takes a long time. Love you content and congrats again!!
The room turned out amazing, but that radiator cover, fireplace and coffee table are so dope!
Your new living room space is awesome!! Getting rid of that terrible wall color was a major part of the transformation! The floors look wonderful! And that fireplace😍! You've done a beautiful job!!
WOW! That room turned out gorgeous!!!!!
Thank you so much! 🥹
Stunning. Terrific idea for blinds, they make the room. Beautiful sitting room.❤
60% of the time, it works every time 🤣🤣 my FAVORITE!
I love lamp.
I like the way the living room looks simple and cozy everything falls in the right way.
The coffee table is one of my favorite things and ties in beautifully with the couch , pillows, etc!
Thank you! I love it so much. But, I have a vision of a table for this space that I cannot waitttt to make come to life. Been hoarding the perfect slab for it too! 😍
Those lava rocks were perfect. Loved watching this all come together!
Yes, agree. Those clear "rocks" were jarring! The lava rocks are a 100 % perfect !
It is amazing how such a small house can be so much work...but you are moving forward by leaps and bounds! and doing a beautiful job on it. You should be very proud of yourself. 💜
The living room turned out fantastic I like the shoe storage great idea and the table you made looks beautiful in the space it’s giving depth with all the color and honestly black is thought you did a great job balancing all the textures and colors
It is such a treat when you post a new video! 🍿 Love your energy, attitude, workmanship and aesthetic!
Thank you so much!
It looks awesome. There’s probably a way to raise those built-in shades as it would be weird if you didn’t have the option of being able to see out the windows. If you can raise them then they can stay accordioned at the top of the windows and hidden behind those beautiful bamboo shades and it would be like they’re not there.
so real bestie i know other youtubers aren't always "soo in love" with their decisions. the room looks great!!
Thank you! 🥰
I like how you ended up doing the windows. It really suits the room and a good alternative until you can change the windows. Beautiful job on the living room.
Thank you so much! It made such a big difference to add those extra shades!
It came out so cozy :) I love the bamboo shades over the blinds :) It takes time to get your place where you want it to be. I've been working on my tiny cottage for almost 8 years, a couple of big projects each year :) I'll be done with the cottage itself this year, feels so good and it's now what I wanted it to be :) Next year starts the outdoor projects, that will take two years :) You're moving right along and your place looks great :)
Thanks for all the love!
Yay, looks beautiful!!! Can't wait to see it with the combined kitchen space. Good luck!
Thank you! I can’t wait to share! It’s coming along!
I can’t wait to see what custom builds Sam is going to add
I so struggle with that perfection thing. Our next project is inspired by your fireplace, can't wait to see the kitchen!
Ahh! Hope you’ll share when you’re done!
Gorgeous sofa. Your crafting is integrated decor and designed for functional and modern use.
Working with what you already have is smart on so many levels. Imagine making your dream coffee table, putting it into place, and then realizing it should have been three inches smaller when you stub your toe every time you walk past it.
Haha - thank you!
Happiness is seeing a Sam video notification! Cheers from Nova Scotia 🇨🇦
Ahhhh! Hiiii!
Stunning!! Gorgeous!! Either side of your fireplace could be custom built shoe cupboards. Then make a skinny table for where your lush lamp lives. Maybe... Roller blinds look so much better than them blinds. 😍
Thank you! Love that idea!
You did such an awesome job in your space 🥰 Your “work in progress” is someone else’s dream come true; keep that in mind while you work towards having everything buttoned up the way you like it 💜 I love seeing these videos about your progress on the house and I’m looking forward to the next ones.
Thank you! I never take it for granted, that’s for sure! Just like to normalize that things don’t have to feel perfect right away. 💓
DIY Huntress...its WONDERFUL!!!!❤
What an impressive transformation 👏🏽
It's absolutely brilliant. Love it
Hello Sam I think you did a great job with the living room and I love your attitude. We all have our budgets we can all do what our budgets allow us to do and especially the way things are so expensive right now even if you are making your own stuff you still have to pay for the supplies they are not in abundance and then what little there is, is expensive I totally get it and I so appreciate your honesty it's so refreshing to see and hear the honesty it is what it is and we're all there some people just like to pretend that they have an endless amount of money.
You are coming along on your house reno- the living room looks great. Definitely a good point about how spaces aren't perfect immediately- it'll change and become more "you" as you live in it and make changes. I think a round coffee table would look great with your sofa. Your hard work is definitely paying off.
Thank you! So glad that came across! So grateful for this space and how far it’s come, but also want to recognize that it’s okay if things aren’t perfect right away. 💓
it turned out beautifully - the windows look great
Thank you!
Those windows would look great in a dark color, charcoal or slate grey and tie in with the entry and the rest of the décor color palette. Might help make the window dressing easier too.
So many people recommending this! I love it!
I hit the like button before the video could even get started. Awesome job, sis!
Great job! The larger pieces make the room feel bigger and added so much character. You are so talented ❤️
This is beautiful I think you did great in your living room so beautiful and the curtains came so nice that rugs is so beautiful as well great job!!
Hi Sam. I found your channel thru your video with DIY Dani. You two were so cute and funny. I watched your final deck makeover video but I have tons of your videos I want to watch to see your journey. Liv room looks so nice and comfy. Love the couch.
Looks good, and great point about everything not needing to be perfect right off the bat. It can be good to live in the space for real and see what works and what doesn’t.
Love it all! FYI…I did add a throw on our back side of sofa that faces radiator in winter to protect against the heat damage.
Thank you! So good to know!
@@diyhuntress Because if one of my favs - DIY Dani - love her - I found you!! Another genius & creative femme fatale!
Is it possible you switch sides the chaise is on? Even just for the winter as it is too close to the radiator, it could get so hot that it could catch fire, melt or ruin the leather. That cover turned out gorgeous! In its self is a piece of art!
Regarding shoe storage, is there room under the couch to put pull out "drawers", so you can eventually lose the wall shoe/console? Although that looks great, yet! I agree a bit too tall as it covers that fabulous wall graphic. Instead, find - or build - a narrow sofa console that goes along the back of the sofa - which is so dreamy!! 🥰
The coffee table! WOW! The rug - gorgeous! Fireplace - KA-POW!!! The entire room is stunning! While you are not 100% happy with this, you still did a magnificent job!
PS:. Do not be concerned with what other say/criticize; it's what you do or need to do. No need to apologize.
Enjoy your day/weekend!!
Pat yourself on the back! You really did a wonderful job!
Sam, it’s gorgeous! I love it! 😍
It’s been so much fun watching everything come together and can’t wait for the next step 😍👍
Thank you so much!
Your room looks very cozy comfy. Your work is awesome.
I love your videos and your style. It’s so inspirational to see someone doing up their home while holding down a full time job. I do find your volume very low compared to other channels - I get blasted by the ads when I bump the volume to hear you. Not sure if other viewers have similar issues, but I thought I would mention it!
Thank you! It’s something I’m definitely working on. There’s some weird compression happening when I upload. ☹️
It looks amazing. So glad you have a space to put your feet up from all your hard work 👍
Awesome transformation, Sam. Now you'll be able to enjoy it for a long time.

2022 sage paints a new platform for autumn. I love timeless hardwood floors.
This is absolutely gorgeous!!!😍🥰
Hey Sam you did such a great job on the living room, as usual. The only comment I have is to move the couch closer to the kitchen so when you walk in from the front door you have space to walk directly in the room, not to have to walk around that awesome couch. That's just me. Can't wait to see the kitchen you motivate me to do more diys. Wishing you all the best on your upcoming wedding.
Hi! Thank you! There’s actually a reason we can’t move it closer, but I’ll be able to share that with the kitchen project! 😏 Thanks for the love!
@@diyhuntress , can't wait!!
Beautiful. Stop hating on your design ability. That room came together beautifully. Try putting a simple valance over those windows. It would bring the eye up and distract from the busy ness of the blinds. Great job as usual.🤎
Love your storage built cabinet.
Sam. You killed this. I know not every detail is exactly what you want, but the way you’ve transformed this space is spectacular and so YOU. So cool to have a little Danie in there too 🙂
It turned out so good! One thing that jumped out at me as I watched is this: when your shop is done, it would be fun to see you build a sofa console table that doubles as shoe storage. Then you could completely expose the wood accent wall while still having shoe storage.
Love it!
I agree. The accent wall is to beautiful to be covered.
Exactly what I was thinking!🧡
Looks great!!!!Always so much fun to get a NEW look!!
Wow! Sam, I enjoy every second of your video and even get a little emotional seeing all your achievements in your own house. Congratulations Sam!
You’re the best. 🥹
Great film, well done. Room is georgeous. Can't imagine how you do it all, Dr. Sam. : ) Mahalo for sharing!
You’re the best!
Re-watching this video and wishing you were my contractor and designer. I love this living room. You are definitely a talented decorator As well as builder
Thanks again for showing the realities of doing a project largely by yourself! I personally love how obvious the timeline of the project is by your wardrobe, and the other in-depth videos you’ve done on the sub projects for this room. Most people watching CZcams channels aren’t full time content creators/contractors/whatevers and would take a similar/longer amount of time to tackle something in this scale. It’s actually really affirming and encouraging to see the length of time it really takes to do a project well. AND THEN to hear it’s not 100% done and you don’t completely love it?! AGGGHHHH! Yes! That’s exactly what it’s like to redo your house! Thanks for keeping it real with your audience!
Ughhh. All of THIS. Thank you for the love and the feedback! I promise to always keep it real. 💓
Love all of the work you do
Hi Sam, looks lovely. Just a quick thought for when your winter comes around again. The heat from the radiator will damage your yummy sofa so maybe think about pulling the living room set up so that the edge of your sofa lines with the edge of our fireplace pulling it away form the radiator. Hope this made sense. It looks really wonderful. Love the floors. Congratulations 👏
Thanks for the heads up!
Living room looks great. Love the makeover. You did great. Thank you for sharing this ❤
Sam, dudette! You did amazing! The living room looks so cozy🥰. Look, I’ve lived in my apartment for 10 years and I still change things around as my needs change. Also, furniture and decor is expensive! So why not use what you have until you can source/make/afford something else?
Also: At least now you never run out of birthday/occasion present suggestions 😜
Thank youuuu! And, yes to all of it! I’m actually excited to live in a space for long enough to be able to refresh it. We moved so much before this house!
Yes. I LOVE when folks give me gift cards to hardware places ! 😌
It looks amazing! I Always feel a space is 90% completed - since style is ever changing, a room evolves with you 😊 As a fellow DIYer I know that feeling. Thank you for another awesome video ❤
Amazing transformation! 😍 ❤❤
Perfect! As usual! Very interested in detailed tutorial!
This turned out amazing!!! Great job Sam. ❤️
Absolutely gorgeous. Don't be so hard on yourself. Your diy work is outstanding. You are one of the best. God bless ❤️
Congratulations! Looking really good!
Me encantó!!! Todo muy bonito 😍 me gusta mucho tu estilo
I like it i think you all did a ood job, love the colors and the bamboo blind idea it looks great
It looks so good!! That couch looks so great and the blinds were a great call. If I could recommend something, I think painting the window frames black would actually help them blend in more! The hardware and seals stick out now against the white than they would again Black 😄
Looking AWESOME SAM!!!
The room looks stunning. If you don't like the shoe storage on the accent wall what about cutting the legs off and putting a cheap back on it and putting it against the couch that way you still have storage, a console table and your beautiful wall free. You'd have to decorate it a little different but it would solve so of your issues temporarily while you save for better options. Just a thought. Personally I love it. No doubt you get it to your perfect vision in due time. Stay blessed
Love that idea! Thank you!
Just found your channel! What an awesome living room makeover. And what a bonus seeing DIY Danie I love her makeovers too! Look forward to seeing more of your makeovers.
The room looks great and I can’t wait to see the kitchen!
Ahhhh! I can’t wait to finish it up!
You did a great job on this room.
As you said the room needs to evolve and that takes time.
You have a lot on your plate , take time to enjoy life, especially your upcoming marriage.
Thank you so much!
Wow! A transformation Sam... Hats Off 🥰
Thank you! 🥰
Sue here: gorgeous makeover!!!
I love it, well done!
I love the sofa!
Love it!😍 Thanks for all the inspiration and honesty🥰 We moved in, in our house 3 years ago, and have been slowly making it our own❤️
I really love this style!
I love your videos. You are always so much fun.
one idea would be instead of covering the wall with shoe storage you could put (lower) ones on the back of the sofa!? you could use it then also for a tea cup or something while sitting....
Love those "flip up" Ikea shoe cabinets ! They are fairly narrow, but, very cool 😎
Lol ! These ARE those units I think ! 😆 Lol !
They are GREAT! Just a little too tall! Will play around with them! These are from Home Depot!
Wow, it looks amazing!
This looks absolutely gorgeous. I don't think you have top worry about doing the décor, you absolutely smashed it.
Living room is STUNNING bravoooooo
Thank you!
Stunning! ❤️
Love the look!
So gorgeous!😍
So great and cozy.
