Welcome back to another episode of our series That 70s House. When Becky first moved into this house, one of the first things she tackled was the dining nook. You might remember it - the striped couch she used actually went viral on TikTok, and had lots of people divided on if they liked it in the space or not. Later on, in a vlog over on The Sorry Life, she ended up switching out the sofa to one that was better suited for the area BUT she definitely did not get rid of the striped one…that $50 marketplace steal from the '60s is too iconic to part with. So in today's video, she figures out a way to style it as a faux conversation pit in her living room.

‘Broken Silence’ is the perfect name for a piece of art that’s overlooking a conversation area.

Love that ❤❤

@erinluijkx6788 8 месяцев назад

the light looks fantastic. Looks like you did the drips on purpose. Wonderful surprise when the light is on. No rings. Right now it's classy. rings will make it look cheap IMHO. Great work!

exactly my thought. Leave it as it is now. The planet lighting without right is iconic.

@margrietvanbaal7984 8 месяцев назад

For anyone with a similar issue of couch cushions not staying put- if you don’t want to/can’t make a whole new armrest, you can use heavy duty Velcro strips to attach and secure the bottom or back of the cushions to the base of the couch or chair. Obviously it’ll be more secure if you sew it onto the cushion covers but I think some Velcro come with an adhesive back.

@Leslie-wb8cb 8 месяцев назад

I was thinking this the whole time. LOL

@chalybion 8 месяцев назад

@Androgynary 8 месяцев назад

That art piece you found is SO perfect for the space, i can’t think of a more complementary decor item.

@andiewise 8 месяцев назад

Yes! The title, "Broken Silence" for a conversation pit-esque seating area is so perfect!

@irishqa. 8 месяцев назад

WOW!!!!!! The light turned out AMAZING!!! I would leave it as it is, it actually complements the whole space perfectly. The art piece was an absolutely incredible find, it looks as if it was made specifically for your space, even its name "Broken Silence" is on point for your conversation spot. I'm blown away with this makeover 🧡

@yappyfinkle9796 8 месяцев назад

Don't you dare take that light down it is amazing. It goes with the gradient art and the sofas, I mean, it could not be more perfect. It is amazing!!

@nataliemartinez5950 8 месяцев назад

Keep the light its perfect!! Comes off orange-y/brown on camera and totally matches the aesthetic of the rest of the room! Also who doesn’t love what looks like a magic trick (milk glass off, space lamp on)

@crynnn 8 месяцев назад

Instead of another big round light (since you already have at least two in the same room from what I can tell) I think this would be the absolute perfect opportunity to try a really low hanging light like the ones from the 70s Ikea catalogue video. There's rarely a chance to try something like that but here it could work really well.

@lisarendina165 8 месяцев назад

Quality furniture is upholstered to match pattern/stripe . . . line up the cushions on the sofas for a finished look. Cannot believe no one else caught this, especially perfectionist Becky! Otherwise I think this conversation area, including the light, is superb! Danny is the perfect accessory 🐾

@BarryRackley 8 месяцев назад

Becky is slowly becoming my favorite "Sorry Girl" because her ideas are simplistic, stylish, and creative. Every project you do inspires me to get up and try making something new from objects that are easily attainable. You have expensive tastes but with a natural common sense approach of acquiring the same look and feel.....and that is what makes you the perfect designer.

@Barb..... 8 месяцев назад

Becky is my favorite as well.

@Userusinutube 8 месяцев назад

@AmPlant 8 месяцев назад

honestly the streaks in the light are gorgeous. they make it look like a super classy art piece and the orange glow matches your 70s vibes also YES on the rings. I'd try to do sort of a floating donut type thing with LED strips in it so that the ring(s) also light up

@lanham1091 8 месяцев назад

@rockylily36 8 месяцев назад

@sophiapearson6473 8 месяцев назад

It was already retro but then the little wood caps brought me right back to my grandparents couch! So perfect

@sambradley3179 8 месяцев назад

I’m LOVING this area of the house!! This might be a weird suggestion, but I think the couches should be closer together and centered with the shelf bay that’s one more to the left. This would make a more intimate hang out space and would separate it from the living room just a bit. This would also offset the focal point of the shelving unit which could be nice. I saw someone else’s suggestion to use a low hanging pendant lamp over the coffee table and I think that would definitely go with the cozy, conversation pit vibes! I am obsessed with the direction this space is going!!!

@Bluesurfergirl85 8 месяцев назад

I made a faux milk glass lamp and it turned out great. I cleaned with alcohol and then I sprayed the inside of the globe with light layers of white spray paint until I got the opaqueness I wanted.

@waterbitten 8 месяцев назад

I was thinking light layers of spray paint would have minimized the blotches.

@ansbach74 8 месяцев назад

I would definitely give the sofa a deep cleaning or recover it with a similar fabric. Thanks for sharing.

@Caerise 8 месяцев назад

Pity that the fabric on the sofa looks so stained and beat up, cause everything else looks on point. Would be cool to see you figure out a way to either restore it or reupholster it in a similar fabric

@cruelaz 8 месяцев назад

yeah because the fabric is already so busy I dont think you would get away with mending it or patches sometimes that can look rather nice but highly dependant on the style and fabric of the sofa. you didnt see how used the sofa was when it was in the breakfast nook now it reminds me of the couches friends had in their basements, garages or garden sheds. good enough to still sit on for a party and not problematic if you spill on it haha

@jennafriedrich 8 месяцев назад

To test out different painting methods for lights for the future you could get clear Christmas glass globes, try a bunch of methods and see which ones work with a light shining through them. That could be a really cool video and then try one out large scale!

@sophwitchproject 8 месяцев назад

For future projects, instead of buying plugs, collect the saw dust from the cuts and drilling, mix it with wood glue to make a paste, and shove it in the hole. It's like a sandable/stainable wood filler that matches the color of your wood

maybe not rings to compete with everything else, but more texture with paint, on the outside, to sell it more as a planet (if you are going for it) would be so, so cool! For a more nuanced spacey look, adding another globes, but smaller and on different heights would also do the trick! as a side note, the painting not only is perfect for the period, color and size but also the name? PERFECT for a convo area!

@amguy1983 8 месяцев назад

potentiallty for the light fixture you might have been able to use an airbrush to get a more even interior coating. Anytime I have tried the thin and swirl method it never quite works like I intend it too. An airbrush with really thinned white/cream colored paint and a lot of very thin layers might have created a more even texture. I actually like the planet vibes of the light personally though :)

@alyenriquez_ 8 месяцев назад

LOVE how the space turned out ! The couch arm idea was brilliant, super functional and adds little interest without taking away from the couch, the art work and the room styled with the coffee table. I think paper lanterns like the ones from your previous home in the staircase hung lower would be a great alternative as well since you have the disco ball and other round fixtures in the same space. The lanterns would give it that cozy and intimate vibe especially if it’s going to be used as a “conversation pit” 🧡🤎🤍🤎🧡
