My bathroom makeover in my new home is officially complete and it's now my favourite room in my house! If you don't know, I bought a house that I have been completely renovating for the past year, documenting the process along the way on my series Making Home. Now that the renovations are almost complete, I've started designing, decorating and finishing the spaces in my house room-by-room. In this episode, I took on making my bathroom completely custom and turning it into a spa-like experience complete with brass & matte black accents, mid-century modern decor, a sage green clawfoot tub, TONS of plants and a few DIYs thrown in! Thank you to Delta for being my fixture sponsor and to Benjamin Moore for being my paint sponsor.

Kelsey's bath tub: o o
O
Hahahaha ♥️
It seemed quite shocked about the whole transformation.
It reminded me of Coco from animal crossing
The real amount of time spent on making home can be witnessed in how long Kelsey's hair has become since the start^^
I was thinking the exact same thing!!😂
We
Love this...great job! Hope you make a scrapbook and add making home to your portfolio
Ahahah I was thinking just the same!!!
Yeeeees!!
I would leave the light like that...It wouldn't be 'even' (i think) when you change it. Also... Its a lot of money. I would keep it like this atm, if it REALLY bothers you in the future, you will still be able to change it! Maybe it doesn't bother you as much as you think :)
I totally agree, Rainy. :)
I wouldn't put any lights up as detracts from mirror - there's already spotlights & sHoWeR LiGhTs & a bath light! 💗
@@kateellenberry It's always helpful to have lights right over the vanity, though. :)
I would just get new shorter light fixtures over the mirror
@@jemma50 true 🤔 maybe a long thin horizontal crazy-bright one that you would only use for doing make up. Just thought the original shot of the mirror when it was first installed made bathroom look so big & then putting something either side could close it in again a bit xx
I'm gonna be honest: when you first showed us your unfinished home and said you were going to live in the basement, I was like "what is she thinking??" Clearly, this is why you're the professional LMAO. This bathroom is EPIC, you clearly saw the potential that my uneducated ass did not. This is so impressive, and I've been LIVING for this whole series.
I love love love what you did with this bathroom, you are Very creative and resourceful. Consider me a new subscriber!
Don't move the lights, I would just get a fixture that's more flush with the ceiling. $575 is NOT worth it.
I agree 100%
I agree -- those lights are pretty but that's the wrong place for them. They are too long vertically.
@@TamarLitvot Yes, and I would hate their glare in the mirror 's reflection first thing in the morning.. Or any time of the day really
I came in here to say the same thing
Agreed
I wouldn’t move the lights. They will end up being too close to the closet and shower glass.
Kelsey, instead moving the lights, would you consider switching out the mirror you installed for a round mirror? The placement of the light fixtures would look better with a round mirror, and swapping out the mirror would also be less expensive than moving the fixtures. You can always find another spot in your house to hang the existing mirror.
Liz Kennedy that mirror is beautiful but I see what you’re saying to save on the costs 🤣 you could even get two walnut round mirrors side by side
@@lizk1780 I was also thinking that a rounded mirror (similar to the IKEA one she showed) would break up the existing rectangular shape of the vanity
😍 Oh my! The bathroom of dreams! Also did anyone see Kelsey throw down the bulbs 🤣 no wonder one was broken
@@lizk1780 Agreed. The walnut mirror looked nice, but so did the oval mirror that was about 1/8th the price!!! She's spending a lot on details, even though I get why certain things might nag at her, as a designer myself.
As for the frosted window, you can poke the bubble using needle then push out the air using card. Easy trick
I've tried that with the vinyl on my countertop and it doesn't fix it :(
@@HeatherCashArt i tried before for my window and it works just fine. I think it depends on the window film type i guess
Have put up lots of window frosting. The needle poke is the best thing ever. Use that trick on any peel and stick things.
I do vinyl decals at work all the time. It helps if you start from the middle & work your way out instead of top to bottom or vice versa
Yes it does work lol my husband made me help him vinyl his race car let's say that's some arm holding exercise 💪
KELSEY!! Get that black mirror back and install that instead, the lights will feel a lot better. Since it’s not as long as the other one :) Easy cheap fix!!
yes! I loved how the oval mirror worked with the oval-ish light over her tub!
It would actually be too much oval and too much black in one space. With the bathroom already being white, I feel that the wood and its tones helps to dress it warmly. Which you will be super happy about when fall, winter, leaves, and snow come into play and everything outside feels gloomy. Trust me.
Kathy C. I respectfully disagree! I don’t think so at all! will match the black accents more and creative a visual gap and balance. There’s only one oval shape, the mirror will not be too much. As an interior designer myself, it’s very easy for me to visualize it :)
Same thoughts!
I thought the same thing, plus I thought it looked nicer too. The black with the finishes of the fixtures, I was surprised she went with the wood one.
I was SO excited to hear about the idea of a database so that we can buy from places that aren't Amazon! I love that idea!!! :)
She’s so confident on the phone, my social anxiety could never
I thought the same !
Same!!! She's probably used to it tho from all the stuff they buy for diys
I thought that too!!!!
omg that was my first thought! Glad to know I'm not alone at least.
Yes! I stutter, lose my train of thought... one time I even choked on my saliva, couldn't stop coughing and just hung up. I HATE talking on the phone.
Honestly that light fixture just feels too low, it interrupts the beautiful clean line of the mirror. It would be much cheaper and I think probably look better to find a different fixture.
I agree with you, not a fan of the light fixtures :/
i agree 100%
I think the built in lights that are in the ceiling would look/function great over the mirror as well.
I also suggested changing the lights :) way cheaper.
Agreed!
Let me just say that I'm thoroughly enjoying this series! Thank you for sharing your journey with us! About the light placement... please feel free to hit me with a broken bulb for even saying it but maaaaybe the issue with the lights is not their placement but the fact that they are a bit too large for that particular setup? Also if they keep bothering you it might be cheaper to simply swap out the lights for something smaller rather than moving the connection points. I know how renovations can be physically and mentally demanding - been through a few myself. What I've learned is that sometimes simple (and efficient) solutions might get lost in the sea of choices you are making every day. Then you need to step back, maybe have a little "photoshop-aided-meditative-thinkover" and then make the expensive changes you feel 100% confident about.
I agree. I love the light fixture (I'm actually planning to buy it for my hallway!) but I don't love the usage in this space.
I agree that the light fixtures are a little large for the space. It would really bother me to be able to see the bottom of the lights in the mirror.
@@hannahelzm Yeah, i think those light fixtures are more meant for hallways.
i 100% agree with you!! the lights are beautiful but i just feel like there’s a better fit
This is honestly been the best CZcams series I’ve EVER watched😍
genuinely !
mirror for real doesn't even need those lights, sis you've got so many in there already
i think she should have go to those vanity mirror with light bulbs on the sides of the mirror
I dunno queen being in a basement makes me want ALL THE MIRRORS you know
Dani Clair yeah it’s not the mirror that’s extra it’s the lights
Kelsey: only one more thing to do
Me: oh fix the drawers?
Kelsey: final touches!
What's the problem with the drawers?
@@lexezekiel2489 she had to fix something in the drawers that she was putting off since sometimeee
The only series in the entirety of CZcams, that I eagerly wait upon. Like how, now I am desperately waiting for the next episode. Loved how it turned out Kelsey and you have come such a long way. This was my second ever CZcams channel that I subscribed to back in 2015. Can't wait for you guys to hit 2M. Lots of love from India.
Bubble removing tip: you can pierce with tiny pin and rub to get rid of bubbles. It works everytime.
Yes, works for wallpaper, too.
I’ve been waiting for this video for a long time
Me tooooo!!! 🙌
Long long time indeed
Yes. And it was worth it.
We’ve all been😍
Same here
Is it just me or there’s a hell of a lot of lights in that bathroom. Imagine going to the bathroom at 1:00am that’d be bright as hell.
Behind the tub, there’s a toilet room! Once you go into the bathroom, it’s directly to the right!
I think so too. Above the tub a light fixture is just too much.
You turn on the lights according to the purposes not all at the Same time😂
@@rojinamagar1841 Of course. ;-) But, all bulbs are so bright. When you take a bath, you need only candle light.^^
Obviously you don't have to turn on all lights at the same time.
I would just get smaller lights. If the placement bothers you.
Choked on my coffee when Kelsey tried to prune that Peace Lily with her foot omgggggg hahaha
LEGIT DID THE SAME THING. Came out my nose 😂
Bathrooms are my secret fave type of interiors 😂
same! cause they are so difficult to style and it's satisfying that people make it look seamless
just wanted to say i'm SO proud of you Kelsey, i've been a viewer since 2013 and it's amazing to see how far you've grown and all these new amazing spaces you've left your personal touches on. This new home is so exciting and beautiful (even unfinished!) and this series has been such a great inspiration to me who is also going through renos in my own home!! all love, can't wait for the next ep!
This is one of my favorite series!!! The other is Becky’s random DIYs around her house!! Y’all make me so excited to FINALLY get a house. 😊
Honestly I feel like even if you move the lights over they still would feel too big. Why not just keep the recess lighting you have already?
😣Sorry, however well done, recess lighting is not enough. Every bathroom vanity needs a special light fixture. That's just how it's done properly. 🦋
Recessed downlights are not great over a vanity. They cause the most unflattering shadows. But I agree that the lights chosen don’t look right at all. Would probable be better with something to match the one over the bath.
The window film is easier to apply if u add a tiny amount of liquid soap to the water. It acts as a surfactant, so the water squeegees out better, which helps prevent bubbles. 😉👍🏽
Also you can use a needle to pop the bubbles in the middle of the film! It releases the air and makes it looks so much better
😉Brilliant tips!!!👏
You can poke the bubbles in the film with a needle or something and flat it down....it looks like nothing happened .
Windows need to be VERY wet..Also first use a piece of cloth and only after the credit card, if you catch the bubble too harsh with the card you might get rid of the bubble but get a forever wrinkle…
Genius idea
or use heat!
Yes! This is the best way to get rid of bubbles. You just need to poke it to let the air out and it smoothes down completely
pro tip: Put a small amount of dish-soap in the water, then wet the window AND the foil. :)
Girl, THE VISION you had for this! I was kind of skeptical when you first moved in on how good could it actually turn out (because of the space)... BUT IM SHOOOOOOOOK
I agree the vanity lights could be wider but if they're moved the one on the left would be right against the wall to be symmetrical-looking for shallower lights that don't overlap the mirror would be better and then those sconces could be bedside ceiling lamps 👌
Old installer here of window films, take a small needle and poke a tiny hole, use a card to push all the air towards the hole and BUBBLE BE GONE!
For the sconces above the vanity: before you installed them, i thought they were going to look so off, but actually they look nice and symmetrical inside the mirror but they do look nice and normal!! If the light is bothering you while brushing your teeth, the maybe you can go for smaller globes rather than paying so much for the contractor to move them
Lol when Kelsey was like “am I okay?!” Ohhhh thats what I’m like when I have to much coffee...🤪😉😬
Lee valley is amazing for hardware like hooks and cabinet pulls! and they are an awesome Canadian company with good business practices. Great place for stocking stuffers too.
I concur...Lee Valley is my favourite place to shop (after Ikea) :). Check them out and you will be AMAZED at what they offer!!!
All the cabinet/ door pulls/ hardware are from Lee valley! Smart for hooks too
Soooo....do they sell to North America also?
@@She.Follows.The.Sun. look like they do. I'm in the market for cabinet pulls, too, and they have a US site!
Lee valley is the best! I have gotten so many smart kitchen/home items there that are so thoughtfully engineered.
Open shower always give me cold chills. I like a shower to have walls and a door to keep inside the warm in winter. Besides this practical thing, I really like this bathroom.
“Hope I’m up to date on my tetanus”
The scratch on kelseys back: 👁👄👁
1. I didn't even notice Kelsey had no makeup until she mentioned it. She looks so beautiful!
2. This episode is sooo good. The whole series is tbh 😍😄
I feel like I would try out different light fixtures for over the vanity before paying that much to move the sockets. Like fixtures that are long and skinny above the mirror@
I would personally rather get different light fixtures than pay hundreds to move the lights. but thats just me...
Just a tip, when you put frosting on a window or Glas put some dish soap in the water you spay on. Easy to move and easier to remove all bubbles
The plants isn’t he bathroom are the actually dreamiest thing ever I need to do this in my bathroom makeover!!
I love the idea of a database! Specifically, one that has a section for Canadian stores.
You've introduced me to Swiss cheese monsteras and I'm in love!
Same! 🙂
I can't have one cause we have cats. :C no monstera life for me
Heather M I’ve been admiring them for awhile but a hanging basket about the size in this video run about $35-$40 where I live. 😅
Malayka I hear ya. I just bought an 8” hanging one for $45 from a local grower. But, she’s a beaut 🙌
Heather M oh I bet. 🌱😍 $35-45 doesn’t seem too bad when you’ve been admiring them for awhile and buy local.
Kelsey, leave the light where they are. They look good there. Don't spend the money for it.
Honestly, the lights are lined up perfectly with the mirror, which the little bit of OCD that I have LOVES, and as long as you don't hit your head, I'd leave them as they are. 😊
Finally very purposeful diys that are 100% satisfying when they work !
Oh em gee! Who knew a bathroom could be so stunning! Such a vibe, what a journey to get to this point 👏🏻🙌🏻💕
When I saw that this video was a half an hour long, I was so happy! The more Sorry Girls, the better!
so pretty!! I love all the plants :)
Everything looks so beautiful. The designs are very creative and beautiful. I also decorate the rooms with furniture and wallart on the website:daisycorners.com/. There are also different products here.The rooms have completely changed changed when decorated. Awesome
Was so excited for this! I love it but please tell me you’re not keeping that tiny bath mat!! You need a longer Turkish rug the same length as the vanity!! Bring in some more beautiful colour cx
One of the things I love about this channel is the resourcefulness and the Eco consciousness in the designs. I love how you want to rely less on amazon and large corporations, and you care about light bulbs that are less harmful for the environment.
That sage green is my dream bathroom accent color! Actually your whole bathroom is my dream bathroom, love it!
I really appreciate that you're very detail oriented and particular about every single aspect in the room. I can totally relate. The fact that you're wanting to move the light fixtures over by even a few inches is totally something that I would do too. Some people might stay that I'm being too much of a perfectionist, but I say that if it's something that I'm going to see everyday and be bothered by it, then it's worth the effort and money (within reason) to change it.
I love this series and your bathroom is gorgeous!! I can't wait to see how you'll decorate the rest of the house.
This is unreal. This bathroom design and style makes my heart so happy! Kesley, you are so amazing and creative!
The idea is from Pinterest, she just copied the design. But overall it's so beautiful
This series is convincing me more and more to buy my own house and renovating it to my liking in the future! I love so much, how you turned a simple basement into a cosy home for you, even though everybody was like "why is she doing this?" And I think the lights in the ceiling and on the walls balance out the small window (and therefore the lack of natural light) quite nicely. :)
HAHAHHAA i love how one of the comments started with "if it was MY HOUSE...", so imma do the same... If it was MY house i would really liked to put a diferent floor and leve on the shower area... I hate the feeling of water goint everywhere.
I looove this series! I can’t wait to see the whole thing! 😍
It looks amazing :D I would leave the lights the way they are, it's a lot of money for such a small change in my opinion :o
THAT POCKET DOOR IS A DREAM
The lighting changes the whole vibe💕💕
I can't get over how good that tile choice was!
Absolutely love everything! It looks gorgeous. I’d leave the vanity lights where they are- the fact that they overlap with the mirror feels more dynamic and interesting than aligned with the edges of the mirror- gives that area of the room more dimension 👍🏻👍🏻 your design Kelsey overall is totally stunning. You can tell how much hard work went into the space.
Couldn't agree more! I LOVE those lights where they are - they add so much glamour to an already beautiful space!
I was literally like “wait tsg haven’t posted new vid this week huh” then the notification popped-out lol
this bathroom looks SICKKK! I'm a little worried about the plants living there, but this room turned out just amazing!
I'm also renovating my 2-bedroom apartment by myself so I FEEL YA, SIS, lol. it's all hard work but it's satisfying and pays off eventually. and you are very inspiring! looking forward to see how the rest of the house turns out!
yeah those plants are all gonna die, speaking from low-lit bathroom experience
She could totally get a light bulb that is specifically meant to be a plant light! They have the right wave lengths for plants to grow and survive :)
@@minearokka7208 I was thinking the same - with all those light fixtures, a few of them could have grow bulbs put in them and it would be 100% fine.
LOVE THE LOOK!! Also: love you guys for trying to actively chose small businesses over Amazon! Not gonna go on a rant about why I hate Amazon cause just supporting small businesses is the best goal ever. You guys are such great role models whether you know it or not ❤
I wouldn't move the lights. They look perfectly fine to me. The mirror actually looks a little on the high side to me. If the lights overlapping the mirror bother you that much, would be easier to lower the mirror just rest of the switch plate?
She's tall and the ceiling is kind of low since it's a basement apartment. I can relate as a tall woman also living in a basement- the overhead lights built into this rental apt. drive me nuts because they're too close to my eyes. It's not comfortable to feel like you're under a spotlight and she also wouldn't want her mirror cutting off the top of her head. I think her over-the-vanity lights hang down too close to her face and the cheapest fix would be keep them in the same spot, but get smaller globes.
Kelsey its really beautiful! One of the features that sold me on my home was that the sellers put a dresser and copper sink in the downstairs half bath.
That is literally the cutest bathroom I’ve ever seen omg 😍
The most aesthetic and comfortable bathroom ever.
So proud of the job you've done, Kels. 💕
OM Goodness! Kelsey, this might be my favourite space that you've worked on! I love how everything turned out! The bath paint colour "chef's kiss", the trays are beautiful and practical and tie in with the warmth of the vanity and your mirror choice, the matte black finishes with the pops of brass, stunning, and the plants are like the cherry on top 😍
I literally wait all week for TSG videos, love how wholesome and unproblematic they are!
I’ve actually watched this several times today because I love this makeover so much and I vibe with it so well
oh my gawd i've been waiting for this since forever!
"Ew that was weird" lmao I busted out laughing.
I love it. You could always get new lamps for above the mirror that are L-shaped and can be moved to the side if they bother you. Everything is just stunning.
Literally bathroom of my dreams. Every single thing is perfect.
For everyone that wants to do a film on the window here is what to do:
If possible measure the window between the silicone.
Cut film slightly smaller ca. -4mm
Clean window
Prepare a spray bottle with water and a drop of dish soap
Spray the water mixture to another window
Place the film with the filmside against that window it will stick
Peel of the complete film that covers the glue side
Spray the water on the glue side
And the window you want to cover
Place the film with the glue side on the window
You can slide it around to fit (we usually let a little space between the film and the silicone because it is never completely straight)
Start in the middle do push the water out to all sides
That’s it
If you have small bubble of water they should evaporate with time. If you have a crease you can carefully heat it and it will disappear
I do recommend not to use a polyester film, they are harder to work with.
This works on almost all straight surfaces that tolerate water.
Excellent instructions
I LOVE how it's turning out! Watching this series makes me so excited to have my own home one day!! Can't wait to see the rest of this series! :)
Nobody:
Kelsey: pulls a plant with her toes.
Finally figured out why I have become hooked watching these- you sound/talk just like my best friend. Including busting into song with random sentences. That aren’t lyrical at all. Lol - love all of these!!! You did amazing work!
I love love love that you mention creating a list with options as an alternative to amazon 😍😍😍
You’ve done a beautiful on this Kelsey! I feel oddly proud of you, seeing it all come together after so long and so much in the way!
This video got me so emotional, I don't know if it's my pms or the fact that I'm seeing a dream similar to mine coming true and that just makes it more tangible for me, but either way the result is beautiful and so is the footage! Thank you for sharing! 💜
"Mirror" the tub shape, oval mirror all the way
I rarely leave comments, but I just wanna say I really enjoyed your witty comments and making obstacles during makeovers feel a lot more human 😅 / love from Sweden
This is my second video to watch, and I am enthralled! I am as proud of you as if you were my own child. It is so good to see a young lady with so much confidence, and respect for herself. Congratulations to the parents who raised you!
Keep a squeegee near to clean the glass! Otherwise the minerals in the water will stay on the glass and build up after every shower.
THANK YOU for starting to look into alternatives to Amazon!!! I've been wanting to hear you say that forever!!!!!!!!!! :D
CAN'T TELL HOW MUCH I APPRECIATE THE 30 MINUTES VLOG!. UGHHH! 😍❤️
The bathroom turned out fantastic. I really love the floor, the tile choice and the black hardware. I love the sleek handles on the closet door and all the plants make it seem very photogenic. The lights about the vanity would not bother me where they are placed. The only thing that is not my preference is the light above the tub. But that is just me. It was really fun seeing this all come together and I am so happy that you were able to get it to where you wanted it.
Lovely job...we also re-purposed a vintage mid-mod dresser as a bath vanity a couple years ago and put a quartz top on it which matches our shower enclosure. The walnut wood of the dresser and the wood in the closet door, toilet room door, and barn doors really warms up our otherwise very modern white and gray-toned bath.
You're so amazing!!!! Can't believe you did all this and still look and remain so calm! Great job!
You reminded me of Florence Welch when you had that pretty off the shoulder dress. Love it!!!
The tub should have its own instagram account, I love it ❤️
If only every make over was as easy as watching a 30 minute video... I always feel like I have achieved some watching them and that it would only take 30mins to do the same in my house 😆😆😆. Obsessed with this bathroom!
That moving the light edit just 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 wow amazing
I always get excited when you post new videos but this series is EVERYTHING! By far my favorite channel on youtube
the whole "shower lights" part gave me such alexis rose vibes 😂
Before I get stuck in, sending my love from New Zealand to you guys! It's 5:30am here and I'm too hyped (could be the sleep deprivation but whateve.) and to anyone else reading this, be safe and be kind 😊
It was so cute to hear her go from calling it "the house" to "home"
Literally my dream bathroom...the tile choice,vanity, tub color, fixtures... the only thing I'd change is
