For the uninspiring art you could paint in little creatures, space ships, aliens, mythical beings. Say a sea dragon in an ocean print. If the color of the print or painting doesn’t work for you then try a wash over it to change the mood. Next time you make a frame staple the backside or better yet use thin nails in the side to attach with a bit of wood glue. I throughly enjoy your videos and thank you for sharing them with us. ❤
This room needs a taxidermy peacock on a branch ... A monkey skeleton An painting of a snake ... A painting of a cockatoo 10 owls A victoian aquarium or terrarium A zebra A large globe Apothecary jars A bar cart Crystals leaded crystal chachkies More tapestries 😁
I love how affectionate the cat is with you, you got adopted Ariel! :D For the big picture frame, it's better to either glue an extra L-shaped piece of wood to the back and staple that, or put glue on the edges and staple from behind, then fill gaps with wood filler. But you life and you learn, as you said :)
15:44 Yes please. A giant rhinestoned peacock would look great. Perfect addition for the wall colour and honestly I really want to see how you would do it. The room is stunning.
I'm not sure if the fireplace works or not but you could put something surprising and whimsy in there! The room looks so amazing though. I don't know how you are good at everything but you are!!!! :)
@HazarielCostumes It's also a completely legit academia-style decoration--my uncle owns a big restored Victorian house and he has an actual taxidermy peacock in the sitting room.
My Ex and I gutted to the studs and remodeled 3 different houses in 6 years. 1985- 91. So much fun and lots of wonderful memories. But OMG so much work! I miss having all that energy. Thanks for taking us on your adventures! The room Turned out wonderful. You can always add your personal touch to the paintings to make them your own. And less “Proper”
Your first attempt at framing was pretty good! If you want to try again, a few tips: join the corners with wood glue, then add the staples in the same places but on the flat side, they'll hold it secure while the glue dries and you won't see anything from the front. And if you want a super seamless corner, they sell little wax sticks you can rub in to fill in any gaps from the cut angle being off, but if you're going to paint it anyway you can just fill it with something like airdry clay and give it a quick sand to get it super smooth for way cheaper
For fun and whimsy, popart made w perler beads or legos. Lego has a cool Warhol Marilyn portrait. Ive made ir myself w beads in multiple colors. A fun and pretty projekt.
REALLY nice flooring job! Love it that you used the underlayment and wall spacers! First DIYer on YT that actually knew what you are doing; what a lovely change of pace. SUPERB decorating job. Loved the whole video.
I want my whole house to have a whimsical/dark witchy cottagecore vibe. You're giving me so many ideas. Also, wallpaper is so pretty but damn if its not a nightmare to take down 😅
les sims 2 pour redécorer la maison...mais quel bon gout! les fleurs séchées aussi c'est cool et les fausses plantes ! Je peut aussi conseillé Emmaüs pour trouvé des idées et des antiquités^^ J'adore ce que tu as fait de cette pièce toute blanche ! perso je suis plus white academia ou "elven forest core". Oh des statues aussi, du moins des bustes ça va trop bien dans ce genre de déco, les pierres aussi (type améthyste et autre en brut!). Comme toujours, j'ai hâte de la suite de tes aventures !
Je n'en suis qu'au moment où tu commences à peindre, mais j'adore la simplicité et la spontanéité de ce makeover! ❤ Je suis en train de rénover un appart et pour le salon j'ai détapissé, poncé les restes de colle, fait 2 couches d'enduit avec ponçage à chaque fois, peint une sous-couche puis la couleur (en 2 voire 3 couches)... Toi en 2 étapes bam tu as un salon qui claque! Tu m'inspires à être moins perfectionniste sur les prochaines pièces et juste kiffer le résultat final 🤩
La couleur que vous avez choisi pour la peinture est superbe. Et bravo pour le boulot. Après, il manque peut-être des objets en verre et un buste en terre suite ? Mais vraiment c'est très beau ce que vous avez fait de cette pièce. Peut-être des idées à prendre chez Nerdforge qui vient de sortir une vidéo sur, justement, de relookage de pièce façon sorcier. Bon courage pour la suite des travaux.
Welcome to my world. I paint houses and we do scrape a lot of popcorn ceilings and remove wallpaper. We use at thing called Diff. pretty much a sauna with soapy arms.
Wood glue would have held perfectly well for the diy frame. And my suggestion for the room is just more clutter of fun weird things. Perhaps also lean into the theme with rugs, pillows and curtain decorations? Big bombastic curtains with sequined curtain holders in fun unusal shapes like your handbags?
It turned out lovely!! What was the brand, & color of your beautiful paint. Very lovely! You are very quick witted on upcycling! Trash into treasure, not literally but you know what I mean!! You are very talented and have so many skillets. AS do I, you learn, a thing 🤔 lol again very stunning! Great job!!
My first time at your channel and I found your video adorable. I am sooooo confused though: on my computer, that paint looked green--like maybe a bluish emerald---but for the reveal it was suddenly a beautiful jewel-toned peacock blue. I'll just leave that a computer mystery and say Well Done! A beautiful decoration of that space.
You could have all the framed paintings with hidden LED-backlights combined with luminous paint. Like at night the room transitions into an extended theme :D Love your work and the channell!
I've had to steam and scrape multiple layers of ancient wallpaper. I feel your pain. I think it would be cool to display your giant wig and maybe have a Rube Goldberg Machine as decoration. I really love how this turned out, you did such a beautiful job!
All I can see that you’re missing is maybe a few statuettes of things you love, and at least one large oversized fern plant 🪴 in the corner.. plants always grounds and romanticizes an area.
Bonjour! I love this makeover video! I have installed a few floors in my home, learning as I go. I really could have used that tool for those tricky areas to cut. Can you please tell me what it is called?
Très chouette vidéo ! J'ai récemment eu le même problème que toi ; on m'a offert un énorme tableau de Poudlard 🏰pour mon anniversaire, et impossible de trouver un cadre aux bonnes dimensions dans le style gothique sans dépenser plusieurs centaines, voir milliers d'euros 💰. (Et clairement, ce n'était pas dans mes plans de dépenser tout cet argent !) J'ai donc cherché et me suis rendue compte qu'étrangement, les miroirs 🪞(en tout cas dans ce style) sont bien plus abordables (80-100€ pour du 100*50cm). Pour un meilleur rendu, j'ai acheté une vitre et un fond de cadre, mais même comme ça, je n'en ai pas eu pour très cher. Good thing to know 😉
Have you heard of Christine McConnell? She's the queen of all things dark and weird and darkly whimsical. She makes a great inspiration for dark rooms and vintage furniture (though I don't think she has a pink flamingo, or rhinestoned peacock ;-)). Also; next time just staple the back of the frame 🙂. Some woodfiller in the seams at the front, and you're good to go!
Only if it’s a unique specimen. Albino and white sequins. Or a skeleton white sequins and tail feathers and head plume white gold necklaces and anklets
I love it. Can't believe you had so much great furniture left in the house! Its a great base to start adding your own touches of whimsy over the years.
So beautiful! I think you should turn something that would normally be "dark academia" into a whimsy piece. Like, a small bust of someone, but covered in glitter. 😅 If you wanted to, you could even keep it a darker color, to not make it stand out too much.
Love it ❤ Rhinestone peacock but gothic...? Black, purples, blues and maybe a pop off bright pink would look so good. Like seeing the house transformation process as well as your crazy sewing skills.
That is a beautiful living room you've made, and this video has it all: humour, drama, cat, DIY; I cried when you sanded and painted over those beautiful wooden chairs, but I forgave you when you (quite correctly) pointed out that Finland was robbed 🤣You were on the right track, though, when you made your picture frame. Just apply PVA glue on the surfaces that will be joined, and staple them together on the backside. Thanks for showing us your process of turning a house into a home 🙂
I know for the chairs and maybe you are right, but also, I need to feel living in my home and not the house from previous owners, so yep paint it is ! Also Finland for the win.
It's actually so satisfying to see you paint the wall properly :D. First painting the edges and around all the door and window frames and THEN painting the large surfaces of the wall. My mom was a painter (like in renovating homes, not an artsy painter) for 40 years, and this is how the pros do it and how she taught me to do it. It's way more efficient and less patchy to do it this way. I always die inside a little bit, if people start painting right in the middle of the Wall, where overlaps are the most visible 😅. Though to be fair, this isn't so much an issue with highly pigmented quality paint, since it often times covers without streaks with the first coat (except for light paint over dark)
Hey so not sure if it's the same in France, but just a heads up, in Australia, be super careful removing textured walls and ceiling that have the popcorn kernel like texture cos it can contain asbestos
Oooo I love the color. I think you should do things like paint a tiara on one of those guys in the paintings or paint a Big Foot in the landscape painting.
Dark Academia is my deal. I have two crystal balls. A collection of Egyption statues. Fossils and taxidermy under glass. Several glass skulls. A collection of lab glass and dried flowers framed under glass. I also love my hand painted porcelain portraits mounted on velvet and in brass frames. Also, I have several handmade tapestries.
@@HazarielAtelier cool! My parents had a large painting of woods and stream that would look different depending on if it was sunny or stormy weather outside.
Looks great! One tip for small gaps in picture frames that are going to be painted - mix sawdust with wood glue and push into gap, smooth. When dry sand if necessary and paint!
We took hundreds of years worth of wallpaper off colonial horsehair plaster. The middle was red velvet that bled. The bottom layers we borders from one foot to about four inches. That was because at that point in time it was ruinously expensive. We only had putty knives and spray bottles.
Omg yes! Finland was definitely robbed!😂 💚🩷 amazing to hear you love Eurovision 😊 The dark green with the gold looked amazing, your curtain matched so well 👍✨️
I thought you were going to Rhinestone that Skull you found for your Dark Academia theme............ also could be your disco ball if you hang and light it right XD
Love this video!! I will always watch good home renovation content. And sewing content. And general chaos content. Basically, whatever you’re up to! Love from the US!
You are creative and brave. Seeing you just go for it with everything has given me the courage to tackle a few things I’ve been putting off because I wasn’t quite sure how to handle them. After all, there aren’t many mistakes that can’t be fixed, so why not just go for it? I have one question though, what are you NOT good at?😊
I have a much-loathed texture on my walls too, and I *wanted* to scrape them smooth... but it turns out it has Effing Asbestos in it. -_- So we're having to do a skim coat of drywall mud on top instead. I deeply resent it.
La machine vapeur pour détapisser j'ai appris après 9 détapissages sur mes années de vie que en fait c'est utile que dit ton papier est vinylique. Sinon mnt j'utilise juste un spray de jardin, de l'eau tiède et du liquide vaisselle, j'attends 5min, et c'est parti pour gratter et tirer le papier peint. (si ça peut aider des gens à pas louer la machine)
An absolute RESOUNDING 💫YEESSS💫 to the rhinestone peacock! 🦚 🤩 Thrilled for you with this house! I so envy the view! 🏞 GLORIOUS! Fabulous job! LOADS of work 😱 but you persevered 💪🏽🙌🏻
