Room transformations have been a huge hit on my channel and I knew when James moved into his new house that I wanted to transform one of the bedrooms! Today, I took on the challenge of designing his guest bedroom and I think it turned out pretty amazing!
T H A N K Y O U Thanks so much for watching and I hope you enjoyed. Leave any future video ideas you would like to see in the comments below!
Humongous shout out to Squarespace for sponsoring today's video
Hi everyone, it is Drew here from Lone Fox, and I'm with sister Jane
Yeah, best friend James Charles. I'm really good friend to have
But today I thought I would do another video with you on my channel cuz we did one before
That was really good. We did the one in your room where I made your quilt
Yes, and he still actually has it on his bed, which is nice
You're probably gonna see that in the room tour that he uploaded today actually or not the room tour the house tour
Yeah, you'll put it a whole house tour today
Which I'm gonna link below in case you guys do want to look at it
And you don't happen to follow James, which you probably already do
I moved into a beautiful house a few months ago, and it's been amazing
Drew is literally over every single day and it's pretty fun pretty fresh pretty funky not gonna lie
And interior design is one of my biggest passions. I absolutely love it, but I'm working up
It takes so much work to do it the most so I just did an amazing collaboration with mr. Kate where we love mr.
Kate do we're mr. Kate. We're here. We'll take a look at your place. We'll stop by for a while
I'll help you find your style. We'll laugh and we'll paint mr. Kate
We're redecorating the entire house, and we just finished
But there's one room left that we didn't even bother to touch
Because it's like kind of the guest room that whoever's like staying here stays yeah
But my parents stay there when they come to visit
It's just kind of like a room that was like just left just like wow there's like a bed in it
And that's really all which is fine, but I mean it's sad, but now we're gonna fix it now
We're gonna make it unsad yeah
I have like a design for it which I'm gonna show James they have already pulled up all these photos and a color palette and
A mood board just to be professional
She is just quivering yeah, she's doing fine. She's doing much better than not me so if you want to see drew
What make over my guest room?
You
All right guys, so this is the before of the room that I'm going to be redoing and it's like really a good room
There's so many windows in here so much natural light. This is what it looks like there's a humongous bed here
It's like a California King, so it's very large, and it's on this back wall here, which I feel like it needs to
Probably stay on this back wall random chair James's old desk is here
Which is gonna probably be taken out and then this floor length mirror
Which probably is gonna go in the corner facing outward there's a lot of white space in here
And yeah, I think there's a lot of possibility too
Which is nice, and I have some ideas which I'm gonna share with you guys on the screen now
These are some inspiration photos that I pulled from Pinterest the idea that I thought would be fun for this room because there is so
Much white space is to actually have the bedding be like very dark and like textured like the bedding be the main focal point of
The whole room typically I have white bedding all the time
So I'd have it more dark and just like very like
Interesting on the bed, and then have like the decor pieces be a little bit more subdued and like in there
You know so that's kind of the overall vibe of the space, so okay, so what we're actually thinking is nightstand here
nightstand over there
Some wall art there a light up there will look so
If we have to that will literally make the room look the best and then like mirror in the corner there
Maybe like a smallish thingy under here, but it doesn't have to be
That looks like a good Gucci bench, so we're currently in Target looking for items
We were literally here one day ago with mr.. Kate. I swear, so this is just like a like a reworked
That is a good basket. That's not it. Oh, it's not
Hmm. Oh, do we need that yes? We do this one wasn't here last time. This is good for a great bed
We just put together this right here
Yeah true, that's such a good vessel, I love the word vessel
Imagine this good beef sleep, and it's curved a little like this
for minimal aesthetic touch
Too big I think the first one was better
That's too. No look it. That's so chic
We do need this I can already tell
Mm-hmm James you have to trust my aesthetic
Please we're looking for bedding dark bedding of course
To match that aesthetic that we're going for and then found this dark gray blanket some king-sized pillows
And then so far we have this amount of stuff
But we definitely need more options our car is good and packed Alden is pushing for a real one
And this is what it looks like so far. They'll love a good neutral
Can't relate
Beautiful I am so famous
I'm the most ritual. Oh, this is a good black clock to layer. Oh 20% off clocks
Sleeping on the job sorry
This looks even better in the video I swear
Yeah, it's good
You're the richest so it's fine come on. Let me live my design fantasy
Please okay, it's $129 I
Can't believe you thought this was $1,000 from home goods, and we're thinking this one
This was very odd. Yeah
Yeah
So it is finally the day that I'm redoing the room
So it's actually been about a week and a half since going shopping and James went to London for like a week
So I wasn't able to do the room while he was gone
And I'm now doing it back while he's back of course
But I'm not gonna let him actually see the room
I thought it would be fun just to do like a miniature surprise even though he does know like a large portion of the
Pieces that we bought since we went shopping together. He doesn't exactly know where things are gonna be placed
So I'm just gonna play some where I feel and like oh well. I did also go to IKEA
I'm not sure if I really filmed that much of that, but I got a lamp or a hanging light
I got
Two nightstands that I wanted to get the same ones that I actually have in my room back in LA
Today's actually the day that we're gonna be putting the room together, which I'm so excited for I mentioned that
I want the bed to be the focal point of the room again throwing up some inspo pics
So you guys can get an idea of kind of what my brain is thinking at the moment
I really want the bed to be dark and like textured and just very
Interesting because the rooms pretty small and the bedding here is a California King
So it kind of takes up a large portion of the room
I mean, it's not too small, but it is a huge bed in a smaller room
Bedding is not very
Appealing it's not very steamed, but you know what we're gonna have to live with that just over here stuffing a couple of pillows
we actually got new pillows for this bed because a
Lot of people don't know but there actually are two sizes of pillows like this is a king-sized pillow
Which is like a standard size for a king bed normal sized pillows, and then return them and be like they don't fit
Oh wow, I love when my camera does that but yeah
I'm stuffing these with they're really pretty like a super super light gray colored
Pillow cases that match the sheet set and then I also have some of the dark gray ones
So I'm gonna just do a lot of layered pillows to really give the bed like a ton of like interest
These are all the throw pillows we bought
So we're done with the base of the bed, and I think that these grays complement each other so nicely
This one's just such a subtle like off gray color some throw pillows a black linen one
This great velvet one tons of shades of gray so this gray one this one's from IKEA with like a little texture in it
I just tried to get pillows that had a lot of different textures
It did take me a little while to experiment with the pillows
But they look so pretty all these tones of gray
With the dark and then like they're really dark over here
And then there's a little peep of dark back there the nightstands that I picked up are these ones
Whatever that says I can't even read it selgie and these are the most affordable nightstands ever at IKEA you guys
I think they're like $29 each
And they are so cool because first of all they're aluminum and on top of that they kind of have like this angular element to
It that I really like so I'm going to open them
I got two of them
Beautiful this is what I meant you see how it's kind of angular
Unlike myself can't really
Okay, I'm actually so into the white on white
And I think once I add just like a couple of decorative elements or like a lamp or something to this
It's really gonna make it like pop you know so there's gonna be one over there
And then I'm gonna construct the other one to go right there
Oh
Wow
These little nightstand lights have been sitting in James's bathroom for literally like a year like since he moved here
Well not a year
I guess like six months, and I think I want to use them on each nightstand because James is literally not using them
They've been in his bathroom
Serving no purpose in the corner, so I want to put these on each side
Okay, so it's come time to hang this light, which this is the one that I got
We have this piece, which is gonna go right underneath the three windows here
Okay, so the styled bookshelf turned out
Incredible I think it looks so pretty and so good here
I am guys still working away
But I kind of want to find something or figure out something that I could do to this wall
I don't know the TV's in such an odd spot as you can see what it was pre-mounted
I can't really remove it and of course like whoever's in here can watch it
But I just don't know what to do in terms of like
Styling something here, but I don't want to take up too much space because there really isn't the most space as well
This black rug has also always been in this room, but before all of this I added to it
I was like I'm taking this out
There's no way I'm keeping this
But I actually kind of like it at the end of the bed if I was to do anything like this
I would like the whole rug to you know go underneath the bed and kind of go out a little bit on each side
But I do not mind
This sort of smallish rug for some reason and I also might even put a basket right by the door area
Like right by the bathroom area right here
Just to have like extra throw blankets in or something like that which kind of also
Mounts the rug in this positioning and makes it look like it's supposed to be here, which I love that
So I'm just gonna play around with this see what I can do with it
I also found that this really cool sort of monochromatic black and white clock
Which I think might look so what nice just hung up here on the wall
Yep, oh that looks so good so good. How do you feel accomplished?
Okay guys so Tezza sent me her new collage kit
And this is the coastal kit colors are beautiful
But like I don't think they're exactly going to fit this space just because it's a lot of like coastal blue colors and like oranges and
Stuff, but there are some like like this would fit like so good and fresh
I picked these out, but I feel like I'm not really sure if it's going to fit the vibe like of course
It's so beautiful and stunning which is why I wanted to share it with you guys
Just so in case you do want to pick one up yourself. I'll link them below
I love Tezza in her shop, so I don't think I'm gonna maybe use these
In this particular one I might
Maybe put one up somewhere like one solo
I have pretty much finished the room like everything in here looks so pretty
I'm so happy with it, but the one thing I really want to like add is just something above the bed
And I do not know what that is
I just went out to my car and remembered that I have my DIY IKEA
mirrored leather
Contraption that I created which if you have not seen this on my channel
I'll put a card up here for you guys to check this out all DIY literally cost me like $25 to create
I thought this would look really nice up on the wall there
There is this brown tone in the room and this natural wood color, too
And on top of it this mirror is literally probably like mmm a couple ounces
It is not heavy at all this whole thing is super super light
So I figured it'd be nice to put above the bed and mount there for now
And then if we do want to change it in the future, it's just easily swappable
So I think I'm gonna put that up there for now
Oh my gosh you guys the mirror looks
Incredible above that look at how pretty that looks I'm very very pleased with that
I love the brown leather on the edge of it that kind of mixes back with the warm tones in the room the room is
Complete and I am going to do a little miniature reveal to James because of course he did kind of see some of the stuff
That we bought for the room, but he hasn't seen anything at all about I've been like locked up in this room all day
He hasn't seen anything about what I did to the room at all
So I'm going to share it with him in just a couple of seconds, and I hope that he really likes it
