BONUS VIDEO THIS WEEK!😍 If you want to update your home or your looking for a new home that might need some work, I hope this video gives you some easy and affordable ideas you can use!! Let me know below which one of these upgrades would you consider trying??
Watching it 🥰
My living room was transformed when I went from the original brick red fireplace and painted it black 😊😊
@@MisforMakeup yes!! Oh wow I bet it looks incredible!
I am thinking about white washing my fireplace and hearth. It is dated for sure and makes the room feel dark.
Do you do house calls. This is amazing but I have no design skills at all. Prefer an expert like yourself. Thanks excellent video Kirsten
I'm grateful. The fact that the video went directly to the point rather than rambling on for thirty minutes like so many others is what I loved most about it. Keep up the excellent format.
Oh yes, you're so right! The rambling on...I used to love watching furniture upcycling videos (now I don't watch them anymore because I know what I'm doing 😅). My favourite CZcamsr would post usually 13-15 minutes tutorials, short, sweet and to the point, while others would talk and talk and blab and blab for 45 minutes and more, while showing us how to upcycle a small piece of furniture 😂 I hated this verbal diarrhea. Why do some folks love to hear themselves talk so much 🤔 😊
Bathroom mirror frame - paint the back of the wood frame black before mounting so you don't see the reflection of the raw wood in the mirror. Also, clear silicone caulk across the bottom against the mirror so water doesn't splash and leak behind the wood, which can discolor the wood or even cause it to mold. Otherwise, great tip. We did this in three bathroom remodels. For about $25, you can create a mirror that looks like it cost $100s.
Thank you
I am remodeling my home and you gave me a lot of good ideas. Thank you. What I liked most about the video is that you got right to the point and not 30 minutes of rambling like so many others. Keep your format, its great.
Yes I too like that she gets right down to business. We’re all short on time and don’t really need to hear about their personal lives.
Yes I agree 😉👍
Thank you so much for using pictures from normal sized homes! Many interior design channels have great tips but only use examples of luxury homes which makes it difficult to picture how their advice would look in my home
These are fantastic! Cant stand built ins but the redo looks amazing! And is there anything worse than vertical blinds! Girl, you're on fire!!❤
The molding on the doors… fabulous idea!
I painted our pink tiled (can you imagine) fireplace surround black. It was a terrific one-step primer-built-in paint and made a world of difference. We painted the stair railing from a dated oak finish to white, but I think the railing needs to be black, similar to the look you gave your parents' staircase. Next project!
I'm a (more 'used-to-be') big DIYer, and Kristen did an absolutely fantastic, beautiful job on this small bathroom, ending with what looks like a much larger, .very high-end bath... and for her parents! An absolutely wonderful makeover! I only just discovered Kristen, completely by accident, and I'l certainly be watching for more videos by this very talented, young designer. GREAT JOB!!
This video is exactly what I needed right now! You gave me so many ideas to help my parents update their house which they’ve lived in since they got married!😍
Love all these tips! During Covid we ripped out our old stair carpet -which always looked dirty, we painted the stairs white with porch paint, then we put a really pretty runner on, and we painted the railing with Benjamin Moore cabinet paint in black. It’s looks incredible. It’s like the best makeover for a front entry and it wasn’t too expensive!
This is treasure trove of valuable insights and inspiration. Your practical tips and resourceful ideas for revamping spaces without breaking the bank were a real eye-opener. Watching the transformation of a home on a budget was not only motivating but also gave me the confidence to embark on my own renovation journey. Thumbs up.👍
I actually used flat latex wall paint on the bricks around my fireplace 25 years ago, still looks fine and yes, we used the fireplace for wood fires. I removed old valances and heavy pinch pleated drapes- such a difference when replaced with simple IKEA curtains hung wide so the whole window was visible when the curtains were open. Sooo much more light in a room that needed it.
The tips are practical and budget-friendly, making it easy for anyone to give their home a fresh look. I never thought simple changes could make such a big difference - this video is a must-watch for anyone looking to update their home on a budget!
We're always on the lookout for new ideas to inspire our customers, and this video definitely delivers! The tips for mixing patterns and incorporating textures are spot-on.
Hello, I hope you're safe over there? I hope this year brings happiness, prosperity, love 💚 and peace all over the world 🌏. I would love us to be good friends in honesty and in trust so as time goes on it will bring something great for us in the future, hope you don't mind?.

Kristen, this was such a helpful video. I am trying to update my home right now with little, cost-effective changes that make a huge impact, but my husband is a bit resistant to making changes that he can't do himself though he is very busy with work. I would love to see more videos like this. Many thanks, blessings.
Mine, too! In addition, he is not fond of changes... apparently, I will have to take the initiative, make the changes and they will grow on him!
This is a gold mine of insightful information and motivation. Your creative suggestions and useful advice for updating areas without going over budget were truly eye-opening.
Thank you so much! And thank you for not filling this up with fluff, so glad you are clear and direct! I have a HUGE project to do and minimal budget so this is amazing
....Depending on where one lives, the " heavy draperies or curtains " are often necessary.... especially in area where it snows, and such . ... these help insulate the home and save on heating costs. I used cream coloured velvet ( but washable velvet ) drapes and it made a huge difference.
They are also great to keep the sun and the heat out in the hot, summer days here in the South.

This was the BEST interior design video I’VE EVER WATCHED! Thank you SOOO much for sharing and putting all the homeowners on game! 🙌🏽👏🏽
I stumbled upon this video and it's a goldmine for anyone looking to give their home a facelift without burning a hole in their pocket. The tips are super practical and easy to follow - I never thought simple changes could make such a big difference! The video breaks down budget-friendly ideas that make updating your home feel both achievable and exciting.
I stumbled upon this gem of a CZcams video that's perfect for anyone looking to spruce up their home without the hefty price tag. The suggestions are easy to implement and totally transformed my space. Now, my home feels updated and stylish without the headache of a full remodel.
We’re on the same page! I was changing out electrical plates (I went with black because it’s a dark gray room), wanting to paint hand-me-down furniture and counters, whitewashing our wood ceiling, and adding picture frame mounding. I like seeing how it turns out!

Yesss Kristen! Thank you so much for this video! I just bought a dated little condo & I want to do ALL these fixes to it! Did not realize that it's so easy to remove carpet from stairs & paint them. Can't wait to try that one :)

I’m so grateful for this. I loved this
Thank you, Kristen for your advice.
I had oak cabinets in my kitchen that we paid a fortune to install. They were really looking dated so we had them professionally painted. Best decision we ever made. They look great, looks like a whole new kitchen❣️
I can’t bear the idea of painting over solid wood. Seems like such a waste. I was told by my realtor to update my solid maple cabinets before putting my house on the market. Couldn’t do it!
Hi Toinette - same here. Ours are maple, but I'm concerned after painting them they will chip easily? What is your experience, or recommendation for how you sealed them so they stay protected and looking fresh? Approx cost? Thanks!
I was concerned about that too that’s why I had them professionally done. I had too many cabinets to tackle this myself. It’s been a year now and they’ve help up great! Price is all based on number of drawers and doors. So it varies with every kitchen. Never have regretted it.
@@Toinette2883 thanks so much for your quick answer and the info. Good to know. I appreciate it!
@@BunnyViva Haha I get it. Re-staining would be even more time consuming/expensive so I was considering paint. Of course, at the time, I selected the "upgraded" extra molding and detail, corbels, etc. which was waaay more expensive, and now they look waaay more dated. 😂
You didn't mention the update I was waiting for - lighting. We need to sell my parents' single-story home, and the lighting was extremely dated. For only about $600, I re-did most of the lighting. It really brightened a lot of the rooms, and brought them 30 - 40 years forward in time. Realtor friends told us we would more than recover the cost of those upgrades on the sale.

I would definitely take all this into consideration for my future home, I really like these videos! I shared this with my sister because this is really great advice she can apply without feeling overwhelmed to remodel everything in her home. Thank you so much!
This might be my favorite video that you released!! I love all of the example pictures that you have chosen, everything looked so beautiful!! 🤍🤍🤍

Yes. She's a delight. She has the perfect personality and warmth.
Wow! Thank you so much!! Im just desperately clicking around/ typing things to give me some direction and motivation for my home and you seriously helped me. Thanks for the realistic, difference making options! I love that you take the time out to put pictures (for us visual learners) and explanations on HOW. ❤
Love these tips, currently renovating and going to use this for sure.
Some great tips as always.Over the Lockdown period in the UK.I painted my wood, chest of drawers and a small wooden table,white.I also painted my fabric sofa grey.Was so pleased with how all of them turned out.

PHENOMENAL VIDEO KRISTEN!!! Thank you sooo much for all these eye opening ideas!!!!
Love these ideas! Thank you for sharing the inspiration.
I painted an old brick fireplace black about 20 years ago, and it looked so much better.
Keeping my giant bathroom mirror, but think I might try the framing trick to zhuzh it up.
I followed your video tutorial to restain and paint my own oak staircase and WOW - what a difference. Took me a little longer than you :) but SUCH an upgrade and so affordable!

I love the idea of buying the pre-made molding. I didn’t know they did that. I’ve got a couple doors. I’m going to do that too. Thanks for all of your tips and keep up the great work. Love you girl.
It really can change doors and rooms to luxurious. I then painted the doors and trim around ceiling white.

Excellent!!! These are such great ideas. Thank you so much♥️🙏
I have considered doing several of these to update our house actually! The only one I hadn’t thought of was framing the bathroom mirrors, but I’m going to add that to my home update list now too! Thanks for another awesome and useful video, Kristen!
Check online. There are several companies that do this and ship you the pieces.
I’ve been thinking of framing our builder wall size mirror in our bathroom and making it look like two mirrors and building a “built in shelf” between.
I did this framing in our master bathroom, and OMG, what a huge difference. It's crazy how just this one tip changed the look dramatically. Now I share this tip with everyone, whether they solicit the info or not. 🎉

Super wonderful ideas
My daughter just bought a very old home and we have been blown away with these wonderful smart tips 🙌🙌🌻
You have many excellent ideas. Will enjoy watching again.
Fantastic video. However, from an Electrician.... Please don't paint over your wall plugs, light switches etc. You'll regret it later :)
If you're on a tight budget and want to breathe new life into your dated home, this video is a gem. It's filled with creative and easy-to-follow suggestions that show how a little creativity and resourcefulness can make a world of difference in your living environment.
Such a great video Kristen!! These ideas are awesome. Seeing those transformations back to back really is something else. I never thought to put trim around a mirror to update it. Genius.

Great video with amazing upgrade tips. Thank you.
Great tips! I realize that I’ve done most of these. During the pandemic, I pulled out the carpets in my bedrooms and stained the concrete slab and put area rugs over it to soften the space. I also ordered frames from Mirror Mate to frame out the large contractor grade bathroom mirrors.
Mirror Mate. I'm going to check that out as well.
How do you stain concrete?
We have the same and I have been hinting of framing ours but making it look like 2 mirrors with a shelf in between but that would be kinda bulky so I’ve been waffling about it. I have so many honey do ideas, I just need to get my husband on board with them, lol.

I love your video! Other CZcamsrs try to do the sane but it's all talk & time wasted. Others put in their husbands & then it becomes conversations within them & focus away from the audience. Some of us just don't have time to watch all that extra stuff. I love how you get right in there. Thank you.

loved this vid, it presents a range of practical and cost-effective ideas to breathe new life into older homes, proving that a complete remodel isn't always necessary for a fresh and updated look.
I appreciate you using images of houses with typical sizes. Many interior design programs offer excellent advise but only utilize pictures of luxurious homes, making it challenging to envision how their suggestions might look in my house.
What a great video! I am for sure trying the wall trim trick! Would LOVE to see a video on how you bleach/ whitewash and/ or restain wood floors. Have been dying to redo ours but very intimidated to try it! Thanks for your great content!

Thanks for showing that tip about framing out the bathroom mirror- I have been wondering to myself if it’s something I could do with mine, it was great to actually see someone executing it! It looks so cute and will definitely be an economical fix till we gut that bathroom and spend the big bucks!
I framed mine and it looks good, but it is still too big. Thinking of putting two pieces of trim down the middle so it looks like two mirrors.

Been in my home for 12 years now, and I’m ready for these changes. I do have the huge solid wall mirror in my bathroom and have been wanting circle mirrors.

ME TOO!!!!!!!!! My daughter could definitely use your input.

By far the most useful renovation video I’ve seen. Thank you. 😊
These were wonderful tips Kristen! Thank you.
My wood floors and kitchen cabinets are not orange they are golden, 😂 and they are staying
Mine are orangey and they are staying too. I love them and if you paint them a complimenting color on the wall they will look great.
This was the BEST decorative update video 🎉!!! Thank you!
A lifesaver for those of us who can't afford a full-blown renovation. The tips are practical, easy to follow, and won't break the bank - perfect for sprucing up my space without a major overhaul. I love how the video gives realistic and budget-friendly ideas to breathe new life into my home without going through the hassle of a big remodeling project.
You are amazing and inspired me to do so many things in our home! I basically did the staircase upgrade with the gel stain and it looks so stunning. I just framed a builder grade mirror. Mirror itself is in excellent shape, just need a bit of modern touch. Oh yeah and you inspired me to take down old medicine cabinets...I only have to get to doing it, though :) Thanks for all the inspiration!!! I seriously think about adding frame to the walls. Any ideas for a living room update? Ours is pretty good, but I feel like I want something new...I might just move the curtain rods up towards the ceiling and get new curtains. That might do it. ANy suggestions for living room/family room upgrades are welcome!!!

When I get bored with my lamps I paint the base and even the shade too sometimes. I even painted a straw hat some years ago. I needed it to match my outfit for a wedding and turned out great!!!💙💙💙🏴🏴🏴
I paint power cords so they blend into the wall color! 😂
What type of paint do you use on the shade?
Great way to minimize expenses and waste too.
Kristen ... girl... Kudos to you. Your tips and taste are amazing. Thank you
Great ideas Kristen, thank you
Love your videos! I want to paint my out dated granite counter tops and back splash. Not sure I’m brave enough just yet. Need to change the ivory switch plates and frame out the bathroom mirrors. Thank you for all your inspiration! 💕
Maybe try it out on a little sample piece to see how you’ll like it before you dive right in!
If granite is natural it is not outdated., there are ways to go about updating a kitchen while giving a new life to granite by just working on the surrounding stuff.
Recent articles I’ve read say darker worktops are back in for 2023.
@@vaderladyl Right on, Sister. Would never paint granite. Now, my Formica? Heck yes! I ask myself "Who picked this color?" (Sort of a muted rose color with tiny gray flecks.) I answer myself "You did!! But why?" SMH I did, however put wood-framed mirrors in both bathrooms, 30 years ago, lol! SO ahead of the times, right?
Another home run video!!!🎉🎉🎉🙌🙌🙌❤️❤️❤️
Good ideas thanks !!
I will make almost every one of these updates. Thank you for the budget friendly upscale updates.
I love the door update so easy and definitely makes the door look custom.
I noticed when painting the wall plug covers in the video that the plug was also painted. I know from experience a painted wall plug will not pass inspection for a CO in some places. Just paint the cover and leave the plug unpainted or call your county building inspector and ask what is acceptable.
Great advice all around! We removed our outdated, always-untidy stair carpet during COVID, painted the stairs white using porch paint, added a gorgeous runner, and painted the railing in black Benjamin Moore cabinet paint. It appears amazing. It was reasonably priced and resembled the ideal makeover for a front entryway!
This was a great way to show different ideas to refresh and update a home. I'm looking for a home, and I do look at the entire layout and finishes of the homes.
I love the look you showed on the whitewashed /bleached cabinets. Are you able to provide more detailed info on this option or direct me to where I can learn more? We have very dated oak cabinetry and I would love to do this. Thank you!!!

Dear Kristen, could you please leave the link for the artwork you have in a gallery wall behind you. it looks gorgeous. thanks in advance!😊
Hello Melita, how are you doing?
LOVE THIS VIDEO! You had so many examples of before and after looks and I'm excited to use this for our remodeling!
Kristen, you're refreshing to watch and listen to and your videos are super informative!
I love the idea of changing the look of things with paint. I plan on tackling a lot of these different ideas in my home. 👍
I recently came across your podcast. Both you and your guy are a very pleasant couple and it's an enjoyable podcast 😁
1:19 Hi Kristen. Great ideas! One thing you did not mention in this video (maybe it is in another video) Is painting the metal covers over the AC/heater vents. When I bought the house it had been freshly painted except for those dirty white covers against beige walls. Ugghh. I can hardly wait to try the moulding on the doors. Thanks for the ideas!

Refinishing wood floors under carpet is NOT super affordable 😂. And as a DIY it’s probably one of the harder projects we’ve ever taken on and I’ve redone the plaster work on a coved ceiling by myself. It’s worth it, but it’s a big job to do it right.
I agree. I found it difficult to even cut the carpet to take it up. But refinishing wood floors is a labor-intensive, messy, tough job. It can be done; just know that it takes quite a bit of time and effort.
Agreed, but a lot of the other elements such as switching out mirrors were definitely more affordable and less time-intensive.
It actually is if you know how to do it!
Totally agree! Some people don't know what they're talking about.
Thanks for the tips. Otherwise I would have listened to her and remove the carpet by myself.
Love, love love all your fresh ideas!
Great tips! I especially love the tip about replacing the outlet covers! I’m going to do that today, thank you!
The first goal I made in our new 20 year old home was to begin to change All the matte brushed gold things (light fixtures, hinges, lever door knobs, pocket door hardware). It took about a year but not at all much money.

For adding trim to walls or doors, could you paint just the trim the same color as the wall and then affix to the wall/door? Or would you have to mount it and repaint the whole wall?
You might get away with it, but you may have unsightly gaps between the trim and the surface. Those gaps are usually filled in with caulk when installing, or with paint if they are very fine joints. And you will have to spackle any nail holes in your trim anyways, and trying to blend them in with dabs of paint...tacky.
I found the tips practical and budget-friendly. The creative suggestions offered feasible solutions for refreshing space without breaking the bank, and I appreciated the emphasis on accessible updates. Much thanks!
Thanks for this! Trying the paint and framing ideas this weekend!
We had our entire home professionally painted before moving in with White Dove by Benjamin Moore & had them paint the tile around our fireplace in black with Onyx by BM. It looks beautiful! ❤

I've been a subscriber for a year or two, and I just wanted to tell you that while I'll "go with" you to IKEA, Target and Home Goods any time, this video is the most useful and inspiring one I've seen. So thanks for reminding me that there are things I can do on my own to wake this house up a bit.
If possible, I'd love to see you address the, I don't know what to call it, separation of, in my case, the living room and dining room. There's no molding or decorative arch, it's as though it was a wall and someone cut and framed out a big square leaving 12 or so inches of wall at the top, continued baseboard around it, and voila, it's 2 rooms, kind of. If possible, I'd have a carpenter frame out the corners, doing whatever is needed to turn it into an arch, but $$$
I've just given up on all of our windows with no ledge; I'm sure it's so much easier/cheaper to frame it out, put the window in, and slap some molding around it. The suburbs of the 1990's aren't known for architectural interest, lol.
My apologies for going on so, apparently I had a lot to say 😁

great tips. thanks for the sharing! I have never thought about adding photo frames could make such a huge difference!
This video was so helpful-I really like the idea of the wall moulding and your suggestion for getting pre-finished and pre-cut pieces for your design.
