Please pin this comment from @vcat724. It expresses what so many of us love about this, aside from doggo staring at the cookies. Thanks for being so genuine. This design is TIMELESS!
As a lover of victorian, art deco, renaissance, baroque, and simple maximalist home decor I've grown sick of all the, all white room with beige accents and a couple fake plants room designs that are popular lately, I appreciate this video
I didn't learn the word maximalist until a few years ago, but as a lover of bygone eras, I agree. Modern minimal decor does feel fresh in some cases, but I need a home that looks and feels lived in. I love the cozy, cottage, victorian, Parisian, romantic styles, and all of the above.
OMG YES, I've seen so many of these room renovation and I rarely see anything that isn't this white/modern and all the fake plant stuff. Its so refreshing to see some personality in a room renovation. (This isn't a diss if you like white and modern that's cool, but like this topic on RU-vid has an oversaturation of that particular aesthetic)
The beauty of this is that we ALL can romanticize our lives by making small changes such as buying a pretty tea cup for tea or listening to romantic music while commuting to work.
So true! I inherited some beautiful china from my great grandmother, and I love using it! I believe pretty things are meant to be used, so I don't wait for special occasions. I break it out a few times every month if I've made a nice dinner and anytime I make tea I use one of the pretty cups :) I used to try to save pretty clothes and items for special occasions, but life is a special occasion! It makes me happy to wear pretty skirts and dresses and use special china even on regular days :)
24:35 "There's a little bit of staining over here, but that's okay! It means it had a life before me." I don't know about you but that line changed my perspective in life. Gosh Desi's aura just gives me so much hope in life!
When I look at your clips I feel like I'm watching a romantic movie (candles, soft music, sweet voice, cute smile) with the main character a girl who loves life and loves to share her love for life with us! Inspiring and exciting! Your editing is one of my favourites!
I'm a professional interior designer. Your passion and love for that room really moves me. It reminds me why I became a designer in the first place. Thank you for that.
I’m late to watching this video but Desi this made my heart so happy you inspire me so much and always bring a smile to my face, this is a beautiful video
In a day and age where everything is so trendy , monotone and sterile it is quite refreshing to come across your videos. We have totally different style but your originality is so relatable and your personality is inspiring. 💗
Ok when Desi was knighting her husband & how excited he was to play along in her theatricals. I cannot the cutest couple ever, literal tears! I want what they have someday❤️that is love!!!!
It is so refreshing to see someone younger using & repurposing used, older, great condition furniture! Thrift finds and antique furniture can be easily transformed to one's decor and liking. I love a more classic look, while updating some of it. Whimsy, english cottage, and French country is my favorite! You are a kindred spirit like Anne of Green Gables & Diana!!! Lol....my bosom friend, haha! I grew up watching it as a young teen, so I am showing my age in saying that ( 48 years old) now. You are like the daughter I wished I had amongst having 3 adult sons. Your bedroom looks so pretty!! A room tells a story and your story is being seen. Thank you, that for sharing your home & life with us! Many blessings & much love from Winder, Georgia, Joy Carey
Thank you for your amazingly sweet and kind comment, Joy! 💗 honestly I only recently discovered my love for thrifted and antique furniture and I wish I would have discovered it sooner. There’s something so special about giving a piece a second home and second life. It makes me so happy ☺️💗 thank you again for your kind words! Hope you’re having a wonderful day ☺️
Of all the “historical” style rooms makeover I’ve seen on RU-vid this is by far the most tasteful I’ve seen 🤩 I’m a designer and having studied the fields of architecture and history of art, I can say this is pretty accurate to the era. It doesn’t look tacky at all and the furniture looks good quality. Everything is harmonious and the bedroom looks really cozy and inviting. Imo it’s a bit overloaded with decoration 😅 but maybe it’s because I lean towards minimalism. Anyways, kudos!
This video is so dreamy to me. Now I live in a tiny room with my boyfriend (in a house share), we're really poor and can barely afford rent and food. I also have many mental health problems which just makes it all harder. But I'm also studying my master's, have an amazing partner and am creative. I try to decorate my room with beautiful things and items that fit my style. I bought a lovely vintage tea pot and teacup at a charity/thrift shop. We hung up my drawings on the wall, etc. It's as good as it can be at the moment, but I'm dreaming of moving to my own place at some point, decorating it and also making an office space where I enjoy working and creating. These kinds of videos inspire me and keep me going. I hope I can achieve it sometime...
Just when I thought I should move on with the times and get rid of my stuff and live a minimalist life I came across your channel. You made me realize that it’s okay to surround myself with beautiful things that comforts my soul and makes my heart sing. Instead of living in a stark, cold room with no character. Thank you for sharing
Yes - i love it, too. You can be constantly changing what goes within the frame, fantastic idea!! Could be different flowers, eucalyptus, a pretty crocheted item, the ribbon hat she has- endless possibilities!
@@DarlingDesi Has the baby's breath shed petals or made a mess at all over time? Considering doing that on the gallery wall above my bed but don't want to make a mess...
I just cannot express how much it feels like I'm watching an actual real life princess share her life with us! Your videos make me so incredibly happy!!
💐 I watched this with my 12 year old and 6 year old daughters and they enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you for having content that I can enjoy with my girls! 🤗 💕 💐
Can you do Anne from Anne of the green Gables morning routine (so what I mean is can you make up a morning routine for her and do what you’d think she’d do in her morning). P.s I absolutely love your videos have a fantastic day bye🕯🍄🗝📖
Ohhhhh yes that’s an amazing idea!!! Currently I’m planning a Victorian morning routine, and a London Season daily routine. Anne would be so much fun to do! I’ll definitely add that idea to my list for future videos ☺️
This is SO my favorite style and you added every single piece I also can't miss in my room - books, baskets, frames, DRIED FLOWERS EVERYWHERE!!! How can one survive with modern furnitures?
I've been in love with Anne of Green Gables books (and other L.M.Montgomery books) for 30 years now and I totally approve of your bedroom. It looks like a perfect room for reading such books. Well done! And to think you only spent $500! I love thrift shops too, although we call them charity shops in the UK.
oh MY GOSH DESI. I literally screamed out loud when I saw this video!!! I have been having a really tough time recently w my health and so a lot of my time has been spent out of school and in bed. I'm honestly beyond excited to have this video as something to lift up my spirits and remind me of anne and her love of the world
Aww Amélie! 🧡 This is me giving you a virtual hug! 🤗 I wish I could bring you cookies or whatever your favorite treat is. I’m sending all my good vibes and love your way. I hope you start feeling better. As the seasons change there always feels to be so much hope for all things new and improved 💖
This bedroom reminds me of how my grandma decorated her house and it brought tears to my eyes. She passed away a few years ago and this just brought me right back to being at her house. Beautiful job!
Aww thank you! It really makes such a difference, I didn’t even realize. I’ve been living in undecorated white rooms for the past 6-7 years. So when I finished this, it really felt unreal, and even took a few days for me to adjust to it. But I’m so happy with it now and with how it all turned out 💖
@@DarlingDesi You've really inspired me to do more with our bedroom. I think lots of us just don't show much love to our rooms if we rent do we? I think it's a psychological thing. We refrain from making the space ours or giving it an identity that feels permanent. I don't think I've ever chosen a wallpaper or paint or hung a picture 🥺 😱 Your room is as beautiful as you are 💞 and it's high time I make my house feel more like a home! Thank you for continuing to be such a glorious inspiration 💝🦊
@@chubbabubba1991 I completely agree with you. And I felt the same way. I used to think it was pointless to spend so much time and some money on making my room nice when we won’t even be here forever. But then I decided that I wanted to live more like if I didn’t know when my last day would be. I want to live throughout life, and not just when I’ve bought a house, or have a family or reach certain financial goals. We have plans of moving (hopefully) next spring so I’ll only get to enjoy this room for a bit over a year, but it’s still so worth it to me :)
This video makes me so happy. And not just because of the renovation, which is amazing, but because of your light purposeful spirit. I watched you dancing & tumbling & pouring joy into everything you did, and I know that it's a carefully edited video, but just seeing those moments makes me very happy & inspired & motivated. I used to be like that, & I will be again. Thank you so much for your lovely example!!!
This is what I imagine Anne would be like with her new house. Her personality and Anne’s are so alike!!! Also, the room looks amazingggg and so aesthetic ❤️❤️❤️
I am in love with your bedroom. I can’t believe you transformed an apartment bedroom into this room that came straight out of a storybook. I am truly inspired. Enjoy your oasis! You deserve it!
I normally don't watch long room makeover videos but YOU ARE SO CUTE! The knighting, the dancing, the dog, the aesthetic, the tea recommendation! And your room turned out so beautiful at the end. I'm so happy for you!
This is just the most beautiful bedroom ever, I hope I’ll have something similar when I get my own place !! It looks like a tiny ghibli movie, you (and Jared) did such a good job I’m amazed !!!
The only additional thing I expected to see in the final reveal was some sheer, white, lace curtains draping across and down the bedposts. Absolutely beautiful!
This was so therapeutic... I want to start being open about the vintage things I love and creating my own little world even if I live in a city and work a 9 to 5 💕
I love everything about this video, beginning to end. The way you brought us along on the journey with before and after scenes, the music you chose, the items you bought, your eloquent narration, the cute inclusions of D’Artagnan your dog and your interaction with him as well as with Jared. I especially loved how you incorporated childhood treasures such as your music boxes into your design of the room. You have exquisite taste and you present it all in a way that inspires and also soothes the soul. So happy for you too, now that you have your dream bedroom. Looking forward to more videos because they are all so worth watching. ☺️ 👒🦋🌾🦢
Thanks mom 🥺💗🙏🏻💕 You said so many nice things! I really appreciate it all☺️ D’Artagnan really is the goodest boy ☺️ Now I should come help you decorate your new house! ☺️
@@DarlingDesi YES!!! 😁 Please do! I’ve already done a lot but you could still come help - plus, I’d just love to see you and also show you around this beautiful place💛.
Absolutely beautiful. When you opened the door to this room for the final reveal, it felt like you were stepping through a looking glass into another era in time. So magical, so delightful! You have a beautiful spirit and it shows in everything you do. The tea party with your dog made me smile. He honestly looked like he loved every minute of it. This made my day. Thank you. I am looking forward to seeing more content from you. Have a beautiful and blessed day. 💕🏡
Awesome, I’ve always loved Victorian, Jane Eyre, Anne of Green Gables, Carolyn Keene, Jane Austen, Gone with the Wind, King Arthur, & Flowers, Wing Chairs, Desks and all that stuff, you did Amazing putting it all together!!!
In the best way - you remind me of a real-life character from a fairytale. Like a Disney princess or something. Maybe like a version of Rapunzel (minus the locked in a tower and crazy mom thing lol)? It's quite magical and fun!
This is not even my dream style, but seeing how happy you were because it was yours brought genuine tears to my eyes. I’m glad you created such a safe oasis for yourself!
You're channel has grown so much over the past year and it is so well deserved 👏🏼 your videos always show how much care went into them and though I know they are a lot of work, you make it look effortless!
my grandmother & her mum belonged to the book of the month club in the 1940/50/60s. they got the first 6 books for free just to pay something like $2.99 postage. then you had to buy 1 book each month for a year (they sent a little catalog each month with a wide variety of all subjects to choose from & at a discounted price, can skip months & you could unsubscribe at any time with no obligation. just like the online one. she still has a whole bookcase of old favorites. they have cool dust jackets. gone with the wind, to kill a mockingbird, main street, a tree grows in brooklyn....i love going thru grandmothers old books & spending hours reading them. just adore the vintage ambiance in her home with a nice 'cupa' tea & a biscuit. so i totally relate to your bedroom! its just lovely.
I started my day by watching this video. I’m sitting outside under the sun warm light eating my delicious breakfast and watching this cozy video. I’m so happy and I’m feeling a live. This room is amazing and listening to your words will seeing this amazing journey to build your own cozy and safe place makes me also feel so much warm. I love this Victorian style and the final result it’s looks so cozy and so magical. now I feel like rewatching Anne with an e ♡♡ 👒🌾
I am renovating my bedroom right now. I have almost emptied the whole room, and am going to scrape off the textured "popcorn" ceiling, paint the walls a sage green, and install dark wood floors. Then I'll fill it with antique furniture and antique/vintage things😊 I can't wait for it to be done!
You did a great job pulling together a Victorian vibe! Twenty five years ago I bought my bedroom set from an interior designer’s wholesale warehouse. I was just drawn to it, but didn’t realize til much later that it was Victorian furniture! Your room is dreamy and gives me some ideas about dressing mine up a bit more!
i love this sort of aesthetic because it reminds me of growing up at my grandmother's house. i think she would love this room, might send it to her hehe.
I am so inspired by what you've accomplished. While your bedroom is not my personal aesthetic, I can still appreciate how beautiful it is and be inspired by it, especially the parts where our styles overlap. LOVE the framed baby's breath and the books and the light, airy space you've created to read and have a tea party with D'artagnan. Bless you for being an inspiration.
Love what you did in your room. Amazing the things people get rid of for almost nothing. My house is also like 85% thrifted and we love it, more eclectic, but very cozy and homey. I love your dog, we also had a loving black lab that we just had to put down. He was almost 15. We miss him so much. You got a wonderful haul for your bedroom. I appreciate things that were loved before me, we focus too much sometimes on needing things to be "Pinterest" perfect. Wonderful bedroom inspiration
I am SO IN AWE! I love your style and I can't believe how you completely transformed the room! It's so warm and sweet and cozy - I hope you are enjoying it!
Lovely room. I am 66 years old and that gold Little Women book is just like mine from when I was in about 6th grade. I remember getting it from my aunt for a birthday. It wasn't until I was in my 50's that I discovered the entire series: Little Men, Jo's Boys etc and found them all on Ebay and read them. Thanks for the memories.
Your channel is so lovely, I have so much admiration for your style!! And your hair 💕 I've been pretty miserable the past few days and your videos have been such a charming escape 💕
I'm so addicted to decorating videos at the moment - this one is so calming and beautiful! I'm moving in a few months and I can't wait to make my new place all lovely! 🌻🌳🦋
Is it wrong that I loved this video so much that I watched it twice? I love what you did with your room. You have a beautiful soul, and I absolutely love watching your videos. ❤️💕 I hope you are doing well. 😃
I just started watching your channel and I have to say you have a way of appreciating life that reminds me of a child. I feel so refreshed and relaxed watching your videos^^
I stumbled over this video completely out of nowhere because I had it in my recommended list and I'm totally subbing alone for the way you're treating your s/o and dog. This was so wholesome and adorable and the room looks amazing!
This is one of the most beautiful bedrooms I've ever seen. I can't believe I have found a kindred spirit. You have given me the courage to start expressing my tastes and values in this present day and not simply wish I could have lived in the eras of our favourite heriones.
I wonder how many people watch your videos and they’re like on the opposite side, dark aesthetics, kinda depressed, don’t know how to enjoy simple things, but at the same time admire you and are grateful to you I mean thank you so much🤎 I’ve been watching your videos and it made my days slightly better
Yay!!! Only been following a couple months now, but absolutely in love with your work! So dreamy and beautiful 🪴🥰🌸 Also!! Lemon and blueberry are a famous combination, famous for complimenting each other very well 💛💜 But would have never thought about it for tea, will have to try 🤤
I have a gallery wall like that going up my staircase. Old prints, quirky ads, printers drawers with trinkets. All from antique or second hand stores. It's a great look! I also bought mismatch decorative knobs from Hobby Lobby to switch out the standard knobs on my drawers and cabinets. Gives a whimsical feel.
Love the room. I especially love the Charleston rice bed. One of my most coveted finds is a crewelwork duvet cover I have for my rice bed. I never realized that this look was called 'academia'. I am sort of a pack rat collector of books, art, porcelain/glass/crystal and frilly things. Thank you for introducing me to that identity. It's nice to see a younger couple living this way instead of the plastic consumerism that they usually go for.
I love Anne of green gables, I have all the books that match the ones you have on your windowsill that my great grandma gave me💓 love this room so much.
I love this so much! I love how you've kept the original stain on all of your pieces. No shade to anyone who wants to paint furniture, but I usually love to keep the original wood whenever I can. I too also have multiple copies of Little Women. It's one of my favorite books of all time and I've read it over and over again since I was a kid.
I love her energy so much! The music, the videography, the room, and those little parts at the pond and with the tea and knighting Jared made this video so special. Also thanks for the inspiration. I've been trying to figure out what to do with my room and a green like that would be so perfect with my furniture.
my dearest young woman, in addition to having created a video and an enchanting room, you had infinite delicacy, I was even moved at the last candle that went out. you're adorable!
Everytime I watch your videos I feel like Im watching a main character from a book. I love how hard you work on your videos and how much passion you put into it. And Im really grateful that for 30 minutes per week I can move to another world through your videos. Btw your bedroom looks perfect ! Chefs Kiss 👌
