The new carpet and curtains plus the paint make the room look so different and more cozy and bright! I can just imagine a sunny day, with a nice breeze coming in, enjoying a book on that fun hanging chair. Loving the reno progress!
Arna, you're so beautiful. Thank you for sharing your home design journey with us. It's fun to see your style and perhaps you discovering yours! Your apartment was so modern and then the family house you rented was completely different. Love what you're doing with the house. And, thank you for the Purito BB cream recommendation, it's so reasonably priced and looks amazing !
I say this every time, but I'm always looking forward to these videos! They're my favorite from you and I think you have amazing ideas and eye for this sort of thing.
Hahaha! I am installing rods and curtains in a new home and finding the identical problems. Screws pulling out and middle brackets pulling loose and I ended up with cheap sheers because drapes and curtains are so expensive!
When we had carpets replaced, our dog ran off because the workmen at one stage left the front door open. I was at work and my husband at home, who realised too late, had to try to find her. Fortunately he found her. She was trembling and scared from all the hammering and noise. Best to remove Freya from all the commotion and the stress and leave her at another family members house, Arna.
I had exactly the same experience when hanging my double curtain rods and brackets, as I’ve got thin white cotton curtains at the back and grey linen curtains at the front.
Hi sweetie 🌹💝🥰 That looks so nice. My mom did always hang up her curtains up damp and did have a steamer to smothe the smal crinkle in the curtain the day after, it was so much easier then to iron them because they were so big. But you did a great job 👍 Big hugs from Stine from Denmark 💝🌹🥰
Your living room looks so light, airy, and inviting. Love how bright it is and how happy it's making you :) can't wait to see how the hanging chair looks once it's up!
I look forward to watching you turn your house into a home each week. Can you get a rug made from the same carpet you put in? Is it possible with the green paint for your doors to get a half or quarter strength mix of the colour ? Just an idea. Looking forward to the next episode already! Well done. It's all looking incredible!
Love so much what you have done! You can get the rope spliced with (my hubby knows how to do it but being in Darwin, can’t help out sorry) and then some sort of shackle thing and a hook...we had a hanging bed we made from pallets on our deck which was really cool and he did something like that. Can’t ask him as he’s working remote at the moment but someone at the boat shop or Bunnings will know.....or....Ms Google. Love your channel Arna...and love seeing Mr Morton too and of course your furbaby Freya. I can’t understand why you don’t have heaps more subscribers. We need to get the word out. I also want to give a shout out to ‘Angela Stuart Beauty’ channel. She is going through a journey having treatment for breast cancer. She also lives in Christchurch. ❤️ xxx
Looking gorgeous 😚 woman. Love the new carpet. I would call that a Berber carpet. We have that upstairs in our house. It doesn't stain as much and wears better. Not sure if it is the same thing but looks similar. Curtains look great too. House is coming together. Hope everything is going splendid!! Be well. ❤️❤️
Oh that’s good to know! I’m thinking about getting a microseal done on it anyway, just so we can enjoy wines on the sofa without worry haha, or at least I’ll buy some more scotch guard and do the high traffic areas!
Im the opposite, my ironing board is up all the time. I use it all the time! Im definitely in the minority on that, especially for my age (36). The carpet really looks good, it really suits the house.
Hi, did you make a video showing a makeup design based on elgar’s cello concerto in the past? I remember watching it a long time ago on a channel that was similar to this one and now i cant seem to find it!

Awww thank you!! Yes I try to let the house dictate the style I’ll go with :) it’s lots of fun!
Ahh!! The carpet and curtains are both so beautiful! Your living room is really coming together! Loving all the reno content
Thank you!! Xx
You could have the same carpet made into an indoor rug for your entry. That way you can choose the exact dimensions.
Came to say the exact same thing. Still watching so more comments soon 😉
Good idea! I do feel we need something a bit darker here though since it is also for protection. Maybe the same carpet in a darker shade haha
Love the dark rod with the light curtains! What a difference!
I say this every time, but I'm always looking forward to these videos! They're my favorite from you and I think you have amazing ideas and eye for this sort of thing.
Thank you so much!! Xx
Alex’s sarcastic “the curtains?” made me laugh out loud. Hilarious after my being right there with you on the curtain stress, Arna.

Everything is so beautiful! The carpet, the drapes and the chair 💕💕💕!
Thank you!!

Yeah we crated her while it was happening, and then when we did the bedrooms this week, Alex took her out for a walk!

Wish we had a steamer!!
The carpet and curtains look fantastic. Well done! Alex's reaction to the curtains! Cheeky! 🤣 😂 😆
Thank you 😊

Thanks!! I need to make a cover for all of the Internet cables behind it haha another project for the list!
Yes "shoes off house" is good.
👏🏻👏🏻
the sheer looks good behind
Your living room is turning into the coziest little area! I can totally see the Scandi/seaside vibes.
Aww thank you!! Yay I’m glad to hear!
Things are really coming along. It looks gorgeous. That hanging chair…..wow, love it, want it!
Thank you!! Xx

Very nice, so unusual to see carpet in a living room these days.
Im the opposite, my ironing board is up all the time. I use it all the time! Im definitely in the minority on that, especially for my age (36). The carpet really looks good, it really suits the house.
I’d love a larger laundry room so we could have it up all the time haha
Your thumbnail is sooooo nice and fresh and bright :)
Thanks 🥰

That wasn’t me! Xx
I know this vlog was all about the carpet and the curtain but… that chair! You didn’t link it, where is it from?
Sadly it was a one-off at Mitre10 in their lifestyle section! But here is a near identical one: coastalcrush.co.nz/products/tropical-patio-chair
It could be my imagination, seems like your accent has changed a bit since returning to New Zealand.
Lol...she actually sounds more Aussie in this video...she speaks beautifully.
Haha I can hear it!!
New fn like you
You can always hem curtains.
Of course, but I wouldn’t want to hem ones that were custom made to be the perfect height!
@@ArnaAlayneMorton True I just bought stock ones from BB&B and hemmed them to fit my windows since the curtain rod was already installed.
