Totally loved this series - please do more. One suggestion - can you keep the photos up just a little longer while you talk about them - for a non-designer, it takes just a little bit more time to absorb the principles and changes. Thanks so much for sharing all of your true hard work, talent and experience!
@@matilda2 Yeah, you could try adjusting your lighting in TV settings, or are you watching on phone? 🤔 Hopefully she will extend the photos, so we can see them longer! 👍
Totally, I’m just a plain old housewife but I see a lot of builders mistake in my current home like kitchen sink and bathroom sinks to name a few, the size and functionality weren’t considered when they put it in. And not that easy to change as I would have to rip granite countertops ughh .
As a retired Interior Designer, I loved this series: all things that I espoused over my years in the business. Yes, keep this 'Mistake' series going and I'll contribute some other design faux pas that I encountered over and over and over. How about hanging art too high and not in relationship to the furniture below and around it? How about too small rugs? How about furniture that is too large and overstuffed as well as too many pieces of furniture in a space? Or, how about the bad accessory arrangements in bookcases and on coffee tables and end tables? Thank you for mentioning the bane of most designers: TOO MUCH STUFF! I'm stopping here so I don't have nightmares tonight!
After watching all 3 worst design mistakes videos I could cry. My house has all but 1 of them, the beds do face the correct way. So I showed my husband some of the before and after pictures and he agreed, I need your course. Thank you for these video's you are an amazing interior designer!
“ALL THINGS CAN BE FIXED” - but it takes a visionary like you! Actually there could be a separate channel calling out builders’ mistakes and providing solutions. Definitely found this series so worthwhile - just golden. ✨✨MJ
I’ve watched your career off & on over the years Rebecca, you’re truly one of the best in the business. Please do a video on Builder’s mistakes. That would really be interesting. Thank you for putting out all of your videos. We learn so much from you & yes, if you walked into my house, you would probably faint or have a heart attack seeing all my design mistakes. Lol! Someday I’ll rectify them, one can dream.
Love this series of before and after--You are a design genius! Wish you would slow down a little--keep the after photos up a little longer and explain more of the after changes i.e. the accessories or colors you choose for the whole effect. Thank you. Hope you are enjoying your new home in OK. God bless you and your family.
A 'self help' method I use with any videos where they go too fast for me is to hit 'pause' whenever I want to really give something a good look-over :-)
Yup, I have too much crap! Lol. Thank you, Rebecca, for pointing out so many common mistakes we all make. It's because of you that I know how to hang curtains properly, and I even know the word symmetry. The series was fantastic and amazingly eye-opening. You are the queen of the decorating world! I appreciate the time you spend making these videos for us. 😘💗
Rebecca, I love this limited series. You explained the design mistakes and fixes. So great! Because so many people are working from home now, it would be nice to see bonus room designs or turning a room into a office work/living space.
Can I just tell you I think this is been one of your most helpful series you’ve done. I have watched you for a long time and I am obsessed with your designs. This just seems like a series that can help someone like me even that has decorated many homes but we fall into those same mistakes and you have pointed those out and made us see what a difference changing them can do It’s just very helpful and I thank you for that.
OMG, that dining room chandelier is way too high! No point in having it there. Loving this series, especially the before and after pictures. Have you ever considered a mini-series on rooms/homes that just need that final boost of design elements to go from nice to wow? The changes would be few and/or not terribly expensive but the outcome should dazzle. Anyway, thanks for all your expertise and fun-loving style.
You’re truly amazing and inspiring. Everything you say is so true. I absolutely think you’re right in that we all have too much STUFF. My beautiful daughter has just left home and my lovely husband Bob and I are just the two of us again after 34 years together and we’re looking forward to decluttering and maybe create a new style. Our whole house is basically cream and golds🤣. I never tire of it but I look to you for new inspiration. Keep your wonderful content coming. Thank you so much. X
Hi Ellie How are you doing, i hope pretty cool? I have to agree. I watch some others and they are boring. Your personality is what brings it all together. I would love to know a little about you if you don't mind, where are you from if i may ask?
I love this series of design mistakes, etc. Would love to see more. These have been very helpful. Just enjoy watching you and learning. Rebecca your an inspiration to us and so talented with decorating and all that you do. Have a blessed week.
Such an excellent series. Yes, a builders mistake series is a must! My husband is a carpenter, he builds cabinets, builtins, millwork and furniture. He must get so creative hiding or making mistakes disappear that builders make.
Hi Tina How are you doing, i hope pretty cool? I have to agree. I watch some others and they are boring. Your personality is what brings it all together. I would love to know a little about you if you don't mind, where are you from if i may ask?
The three part “mistakes” series is fantastic. Please do more. Part 3 had a problem that I am stressing over. Now I have an idea of how to solve the problem thanks to you. I learned quite a bit from the Mistakes three part series. Loved it.
During the pandemic (lots of down time :), I decided to look up "How to make a beautiful bed" on RU-vid. A Rebecca Robeson video came up and I have been obsessed ever since. I've joined the design sessions and keep up on IG and RU-vid. I have gleaned so much from Rebecca and Sharrah and I'm not even close to being finished with their design sessions! I'm a newbie who's 74 years old. Wouldn't it have been great if I knew all this stuff way back when! I have a beautiful home, but now I tweak it just a bit after every session. Thanks Rebecca and Sharrah!
*_> Designer shows problem with basic design principle & says how to fix it *_gapes, open mouthed at wowzer level beauty, practicality and general admiring-ness_* Seriously, when you 'do' a space, you *_really_* DO a space! ;)
Hi Rebecca ❣️ Love your new series. It’s so helpful to see the before and after pictures of what you are describing. So, so happy you’re back. As much as I love your new series, I’d love to see more before and after of “average” homes. I really liked seeing what you did in the dining room of your friend’s home. Such great ideas! Can’t wait for more.
Love seeing the before and after take on this video. I already follow most of your suggestions because I have watched you for so long. You are talented I really enjoy watching you. 😊
Hi Pam How are you doing, i hope pretty cool? I have to agree. I watch some others and they are boring. Your personality is what brings it all together. I would love to know a little about you if you don't mind, where are you from if i may ask?
Hi Beautiful How are you doing, i hope pretty cool? I have to agree. I watch some others and they are boring. Your personality is what brings it all together. I would love to know a little about you if you don't mind, where are you from if i may ask?
Such incredible transformations of these spaces. I know you have probably heard a number of times that it doesn't look like the same room after you have made your changes. I too have had those same thoughts and a couple of times I had to pause the video and study the pictures because I couldn't believe that it actually was the same space!
Symmetry and scale, I love this new series. I moved into a new apartment and was waiting for something like this. Rebecca you’re amazing. Thanks for sharing your skill and knowledge. I think many of us get so stuck with furniture that we used to love, don’t purge and buy new modern pieces and end up with a crazy design mix. I’ve been watching you for years and joined design sessions. Now I buy with intention.
What you say is so true. But some people have a nack for putting disparate pieces together and making them look coordinated! I've always admired people who can do this. It takes a certain artistic 'eye'.
Hi Elena How are you doing, i hope pretty cool? I have to agree. I watch some others and they are boring. Your personality is what brings it all together. I would love to know a little about you if you don't mind, where are you from if i may ask?
i watch all these video about (mistakes we do) and i got depressed because i haven’t done work that i wanted to do for a very long time. My house! oh my, how i wish you can be here and help me visualize what should i do. love your design and everything you do. just continue being there and doing the best thing you do. 🙏🏻❤️
Woah! Make the niche into a built-in closet!! No roller coaster effect. I am moving to a "tiny house" in 4 months and have only two rooms. Thanks to you, I learned some ways to make the living room harmonious and cozy. Thank you!
Hi Vicki How are you doing, i hope pretty cool? I have to agree. I watch some others and they are boring. Your personality is what brings it all together. I would love to know a little about you if you don't mind, where are you from if i may ask?
OMGOSH!! This is sooooo good!!! When I see what you've done..... and so classic and beautifully...... am absolutely AMAZED!!! These transformations are exquisite!!!! .. not only do you make the room look beautiful, you make it COMFORTABLE!!! So may designs "look" beautiful, but are not COMFORTABLE in practicality! You have an amazing talent that is so unique! You make CLASSY COMFORTABLE!
Hi Donna How are you doing, i hope pretty cool? I have to agree. I watch some others and they are boring. Your personality is what brings it all together. I would love to know a little about you if you don't mind, where are you from if i may ask?
Loved this series. Of course, I love all of your videos. You are so inspiring. I have a double height family room and entry way and I struggle with what to do in those big expanses of wall. I think the builder mistakes would be a great idea.
You have such an amazing talent! You have definitely given great advice. I just can't seem to achieve the elegance that you always successfully attain. So, I binge watch RU-vid and Design Session videos repeatedly. Thank you!!
_(Wanted to add another comment on a different topic to my other one.)_ Re: *the split level condo re-do:* Potentially *_so_* much to comment on! This kind of _'split level, open to lower floor'_ floor plan seems to have been popular in the nineties, and I think it's got a lot going for it, including: --Light spills over from one level to the other --High, airy ceiling heights --A sense of space and openness, yet separation between rooms on separate levels --Potential to do the interesting decor things unique to tall-ceilinged rooms With actually minimal 'doing', the designer has accomplished *SO* much. The best (in my opinion) being the two *_real_** palm trees.* *Indoor trees* are---even today with all the renewed popularity of houseplants---sadly, often unutilized. The two massive palms in this space show not only the design principle the designer is talking about, but how *incredibly gorgeous it is to have 'nature' inside your living space!* And, if the homeowner maximizes the wattage, and keeps the pot lights on during the day, the plants will likely have enough lumens to at least be maintained in good health.
My kitchen with an attached family room has 18 top hats, yes 18 eye balls staring at me. My friends thought I was insane changing them out to more streamline units! It looks so much cleaner and modern now. Also, removed a too small ceiling fan with boob light and replaced it with a more modern look, no light. Certainly didn't need another light with 18 already! Totally agree with you ...light up those beautiful chandeliers!
I had been a devoted RU-vid follower. I joined the design sessions. The cliff house was marvelous, but way past my lifestyle. I joined the design session, then everything In your life changed. I am glad that you again have content to share. Keep it coming as I am love your ideas.
Absolutely do more series like this the builder made a lot of mistakes and to top it off in my learning phase I added more mistakes, but thanks to you now I can indentify what the problem is and I solve it. I fix what I can fix and leave to others specialists what is difficult for me. " Discovery consists of seeing what everybody has seen and thinking what nobody has thought." And Rebecca is always thinking what nobody has thought.
Very enjoyable to watch while gives you the tips to redesign your house. She's not enforcing her design styles but rather educates the viewers the basics and concepts of interior design. Hats off to Rebecca! ❤
I so need you ....lol my house is still in the 90's. Yes please. Keep doing everything you are doing on U-tube it has helped me so much. Slowly getting some done so thank you very much for all you do for all of us that are designed challenged....Susie from north west TN...
I loved this series! It would help to see the pics on the screen a bit longer as you discuss the projects though. Please do more of these, they are really helpful. A series of "builder's mistakes" sounds great, as these are common issues we must deal with in pretty much every home.
Hi Wendy How are you doing, i hope pretty cool? I have to agree. I watch some others and they are boring. Your personality is what brings it all together. I would love to know a little about you if you don't mind, where are you from if i may ask?
You are a queen of interior designs, and a big inspiration for me. Love love love the way you talk, describe, express and most of all how you fix other people’s interior mistakes with your aesthetic style.Bravo👏
Hi Patricia How are you doing, i hope pretty cool? I have to agree. I watch some others and they are boring. Your personality is what brings it all together. I would love to know a little about you if you don't mind, where are you from if i may ask?
That transformation at timestamp 2:00 is stunning. Are you sure that is the same room? My head can't even wrap around what you have created there. Just absolutely amazing. Thank you for sharing your Gift.
Love these series!!! Can you do design ideas for low ceilings we have 8ft ceiling 😏...NO WINDOWS ON THE BACK OF OUR HOUSE!!! We added a large picture window looking out to the pool, changed out french doors to new slider..looks AMAZING!!!! LIGHT & BRIGHT..Thank you so much ❤ your channel & YOUR BEAUTIFUL PERSONALITY 😊
My favorite series is Mistakes! We all make them and I listen. Sometimes I get it right .Yea! I’ve learn so much from you. Love your style . Keep it coming . Linda from Pensacola.
Thank you Rebecca. You really excel at working with problems and finding the perfect solutions to make your clients’ spaces shine. The beach house and the loft were master classes and the many room refreshes are very instructive as well. You always go in and correct those architectural quirks by balancing them, or disguising them, or distracting from them, in the most stylish ways. A design/build team updated my home before I bought it, but you have me looking around now, to see if I can make any more improvements.
Love the before and after pictures. I do agree that photos need to be displayed just a tad longer cause even if I hit the pause key, I have to rewind cause it’s just too fast. Great job & design great teacher. Thank you!
YESSSSSSSSS!!! 😍I ADORED THIS SERIES!! I binged them and think this is a must series. WOW. You packed a lot of content into these ,but I'm so bummed I'm done with them already. I love all the before and after pics. I especially love the ones you do for folks on a budget, too. Dang lady! You're good! I've spent over a decade watching and learning and still have so much to learn from you. THANK YOU, THANK YOU! 🙏 Delighted Designs Sessions member from the great Pacific Northwest, Lakewood, Washington! 💛🖤🧡
Best. Video. Yet. Rebecca, I’ve been watching you since the beginning and this was by far my favorite series to date. I’m sending this to my mother who is currently designing her new home that is being built from the ground up. We will definitely be using your design principles as we go shopping and are building the design of each room in her new house! Can’t thank you enough!!
The dining room at the 8:40 spot could also be used to discuss furniture placement. Notice how the dining chairs are placed so you see the sides of the two nearest, rather than the back of a first one facing the door. Much better and more dramatic.
Rebecca yes I have to much stuff but I'm going to create shelves lining my basement walls to put it all on.My mother always told me to just go shopping in my basement when ever I would want to buy more beautiful accessories for my house. Artist have the ability to see things for what they could be and not just what they are!!!I thank you for sharing your talents!!!

Good morning Rebecca omg some of the pictures you showed on your videos I have to admit have done the same mistake. 🙁. Going to signed up for the design session, you are a truly truly interior design queen 👸 pleaseee do more of these videos. Thank you so much God bless you and family 🙏🏻❤️🥰😘😍🤙🏻👏🏻
Fun video! Thank you. What little I know about feng shui says that having the foot of the bed facing the doorway is not good. “…It’s considered bad for your health because dead bodies traditionally are removed from a bedroom feet first. It's also believed that when you sleep with your feet facing the bedroom door, you'll feel restless and dissatisfied at home, and a sense of relaxation will escape you.” Do you give any consideration to feng shui in your practice? I’m new to your channel and love your relationship with your son, and your new home.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVED this series!! Great of you to help so many with these tips & tricks and it helped me check off what I’ve done correctly after a renovation 😉 Always inspiring and I’m glad you mentioned that these corrections CAN be done on a budget.
