I live vicariously through you Becky, At 80 years in July I am not as spry as I once was but I love watching your adventures. In my faraway past I was so into beautiful homes and furniture I even took courses All through my life i graduated ACAD (Alberta College of Art and Design) after moving to Canada many years ago. You are my idol thank you for all the wonderful videos and the design team is amazing. Enjoy Life.
My real estate agent dad always drilled into me location, location, location. You can change the house, you can't change the location. If it's your dream location, change the house.
This is so true, I always think a doer upper , in a good road is the best too….. we did that in 1991, still here. Love it . Small Quaker village in Buckinghamshire . Never want to move away.
Same here . My husband has been a real estate broker for over 40 years. He has always said the exact same thing! Your dad’s a smart real estate agent. We’re in Texas though not down by the border, have several friends who live down there. It’s a mess today with the border crisis and so many of the cartel coming in. They live on ranches and they literally drive SUV’s onto their ranches/property full of women and children then just abandon the vehicles. I’m thinking in this case I might go! 😬
Having familiarity with Laredo and where both neighborhoods are, I would stick with the original house and remodel it into the forever home of my dreams, even if it doesn't completely pay off financially. The old neighborhood has a lot more yard space, mature trees, and older/greater variety of architecture. You don't get these characteristics in the newer neighborhoods by the country club where lots seem smaller, and the houses are built way larger taking up more lot putting you closer than you would expect to your neighbors. The sprawling single story layout of their current home has a lot of potential and seems perfect for an empty nester couple who wants to age in place. Whatever they decide, I wish them the best.
I can't believe how the time flies by. It's been 5 years since Santa Fe? I loved that renovation and really there is not a bad reno that you've ever shown us. I love them all. You are so talented. Thank you for sharing all your talents with us.
I can’t wait to see what you will do with this home!! Also, Mr Grumpy pants, although I know his real name, his house is one of my favorites that you have done. You guys were so funny together. I do wish he would hire you again to do more work for him. You could do his Christmas decorations! Would love to see you two collaborate together once again.
Hi Monica, I agree, I'd love to work for Mr. Grumpy Pants again some day. Truth be told, he was awesome. I loved the banter we shared. Truly a great client. His letter meant the world to me... YES!!! Christmas in his home could be fabulous! Although... if you know him, you know he's not much of a Christmas guy... At least not yet. Probably because he's never experienced a Robeson Christmas :-))) LOL... Thanks for watching and weighing in Monica :-) RR
Yes. You are so talented. Could you please do a video sharing your personal journey how you got certified, where you studied or went to design school. That would be so great! These days everyone calls themselves a designer so it would be nice to know about the profession from someone who has actually lived a true career in design. I am sure many of us have wondered how it all began, for you are truly an inspiration .🙏🏼
Rebecca, I feel so blessed to be able to view your content and watch you pursue your dreams more and more. I've followed you for years. And the fact that you're a Christian and shared about your dad and upbringing really makes it more special for me. Looking forward to this series!
That client kudos made me cry so I know how it musta made you feel. More people should take time to give flowers sorta speak while you still here. You are the best in what you do❤.
All of your designs have been absolutely jaw dropping but the Santa Fe design was 100% my favourite. He is such a super lucky guy to live through that whole experience and then enjoy his home forever. Wow!
Patty and Rocky are so lucky to have you helping them with updating their design. I look forward to seeing what you do here and hope to see even more new Robeson Design projects.
❤ this was fun and informative and very interesting. I'm really enjoying seeing how you think problems through and come up with wise solutions. I can't wait to see the follow up videos. ❤
Glad to know my "ancient" design skills are still on cue!! (I haven't worked any major design in over 20 yrs). I'd go back to designing if I wasn't having so much fun creating art!!! Everything you pointed out were the exact same things I noticed and would have recommended!!! Loved your design solution for that living room, it needed warmth and drama. Can't wait to see this home come together!!!!
Rebecca, as soon as you appeared onscreen for this video, I thought to myself, “Wow! Rebecca is looking especially nice these days! Makeup, hair, glasses, jewelry and clothing is all right on-pointe!!!” Then you mentioned Tammy, and I reflected on just how big an impact a really talented stylist can have on how we present ourselves. And here I thought I was just going to pick up more wonderful home design tips ...and you’ve again exceeded my expectations!!! Thank you for sharing your stylist with us; giving credit to others is one of the many reasons your channel touches my ♥️ I wish you continued good fortune, success and much happiness!
Please do more videos like this. Very excited to see how this turns out. I know it will be fabulous because your work is always excellent. Can't wait to see the results.
So GLAD you are back as a designer! The NEW Robeson Desig! GREAT!!!!!! Just critiquing others design work just couldn't be that fulfilling. MUCH more fun for you to be a 'designing' woman again!
I love your RU-vid channel and Instagram. I used many of your design ideas in my home we built in Florida. This was before the design sessions existed but what you shared on your RU-vid channel helped me so much! Thank you. I also love Furnitureland South. Fantastic store and their customer service is excellent.
Honestly I tuned into your RU-vid and all I could see was the blouse I wanted from Cabi lo I can’t believe all the awesome clothes they have And you are awesome too 🥰
Rebecca I have taken clients to Furniture Land South in High Point North Carolina and there is so much amazing furniture to see it will make your head swim. I can not wait to see what you do to this home, especially the dining room. Everything must go, furniture, chandelier, drapes, even the windows! I know you are excited but probably overwhelmed in some aspect too but we know you will get it done!
Just the furnishings alone, will make a huge difference. Modern furniture and accessories make a house feel younger. Looking forward to the next video.
Love this im happy they kept they're home they will be so happy & excited to see the results can't wait myself and that guy you mentioned grumpy pants oh my gosh that gave me chills could you imagine how he still thinks of what you done for him that's awesome Rebecca you mean the world to a lot of people out there fancy lady💖
Even before I saw this video, I knew you were the best person/designer to help this couple. It took wisdom to consult a realtor in this case. Congrats.
What beautiful people and I think I ❤ the idea stay in a spot a redecorate that house....like the agent said low return...I think it will look stunning at the end and will not want to move... perfection it will be. What a beautiful email from your previous Ralph Lauren client. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🙏😍👌👌👌
7000 sf would have been a lot of house, so I'm very interested in what you'll bring to their current home, Rebecca! I know it'll make their decision to ever leave later much tougher! I'm so glad you're still designing!
Hands down a beautiful home with great bones. I so hope you warm it up with textiles and warm paint or wallpaper colors. I could definitely see grasscloth walls in the dining room. Obviously the homeowners style is fairly monochromatic and uncluttered but adding subdued textiles would really warm it up and envelope guests as well as them. This is so exciting!!! Lucky couple to have you.
Gosh Rebecca you really did humble me, your first action was to pray to God for help and inspiration, who else does this? I wish I had done meore of that in my earlier arrogant life. You came with such wisdom to Rocky and Patty's truly beautiful home to add the magic that is Rebecca Robeson. You are very aware of cost,wish others in your profession were(particularly here in the UK), and you want the most bang for your buck for your truly delightful clients ,you are the guardian of their purse as they themselves are. Excellent! Loved the design and am looking forward to the progress,hope they find a great contractor. Love from a dreary UK.
I was so excited to hurry home and watch the new video for this week. And you never disappoint of course. I'm so excited for your project for your home and their project for their home. I be on the edge of my seat watching these videos and smiling from cheek to cheek. They make me so happy. Such a lovely woman. Blessings to you amd your family Rebecca. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.😮
It’s baffling that a house like theirs would be valued in the millions in NY and only 750,000, if they’re lucky, in Texas. It’s even more unbelievable to me that they would ever want a 7000 square foot house at their age. Why would anyone need such a big house!? Anyway I’m really looking forward to seeing what you will do to update this house. I’m sure it will be beautifully done.
I think having a stylist would be wonderful, I’ve had a store shopper before, and I found an alteration’s lady that made every piece of clothing I took to her fit my body perfectly. Funny but the first time I went to her I thought I just needed the pants to my suit hemmed, then she had me put the jacket on and she started pinning that….and at that point I was hooked, and I never took any clothing other than jeans home with me without them first going to La. I’m so eager to see what wonderful things you’re going to do to this border town in my home state of Texas. I know it’s going to be exquisite!
This is so exciting! The modeling show was fantastic! EVERYTHING looked amazing on you. My favorite was the orange. She fits your body perfectly. One exception... 😉😗☺️ 🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓 Your stunningly gorgeous face is covered up by all the humongous glasses. I really think you’re so petite you could wear kid sizes. You’re so creative at everything you do. I cannot wait for the furniture shopping with you. My dream! I would need a dang scooter, because of my back & hip. 🤪 We love you!
Super EXCITED for this project with this LOVELY couple! Back to the design shows I have enjoyed from you 🥰. I helped my friends find a house full of furniture a Furniture Land. It was the most efficient way to furnish a home. It was an AMAZING showroom. With scaled furniture plan in hand, and a a Furniture Land employee to fast track our search we got the home furnished in one day. Selected a custom rug. The experience was perfect as the furniture arrive with white glove service across the country.
I feel that you've all made the best decision to stay with the home you've been living in and just add and improve on certain areas. I mean, who's gonna CLEAN this huge area? Who needs that much space for one or two people?
Rebecca, you are such a delight to watch. So inspiring, motivating, the glass is always full attitude!!! You are amazing!!! Can't wait to see your magic in this home. I noticed Rocky wearing a Notre Dame shirt. My son is a 97 Domer, love, love, love that place. Especially The Grotto. Blessings to you and your family.
Rebecca, you are just so adorable. I know you are gonna add so much value to this home. Your clients may not want to leave after you are done, but if they do, they will get much more for it.
I'm at work, but you came across my heart. Rebecca, you are one of the most wonderful people on RU-vid. I want to bless you on your special day. Happy and Sweetest Birthday to you. May the GOD of Heaven pour out His great favors and blessings upon you. Take warm care.
How great! Love seeing you tackling a new design project!! Can’t wait to see how this revamp looks. My husband and I are in a similar situation, should we stay or go and we have decided to stay and invest in our current home to improve it and love it again as much as we did when we first bought it!!
