EXTREME BEDROOM MAKEOVER after Losing Home in FIRE 🏠

Hi everyone, welcome back to my channel. Drew here from Lone Fox and today I am bringing you along for our second extra special makeover for people that lost their homes during the Los Angeles fires. And this is a series I am doing in partnership with Mazda. We are actually in the Mazda at the moment. This makeover is a special one for a guy named Tion and he is an architect and I actually met him through my manager. It is one of her friends. Hi, I'm Tion. I am a project director and architectural designer. I know Drew through Miriam, his manager, who was kind enough to connect us after I lost my place unfortunately in the Palisades fire. I've relocated to Santa Monica and very excited for Drew to help me put it all back together. And I think this space is going to turn out like epic. I really, really feel like it's going to be a really cool, cozy, warm, but inspiring, unique space. So, we're almost there. All right, it is time to go swatch some paint. Let's see what color we're going to choose. We are in Tian's bedroom space. And the first time I saw this space, which I actually got to preview it like two weeks ago, I came by. It was so bright in here. It was such a sunny day out. And today it is so gloomy. It is rainy out. We had to put some lamps on because there's not an overhead light in this room, which is totally fine. However, for the direction of this space, I kind of created a mood board and a concept because when I did come over and see this room, I got to also kind of look at some of his other spaces, like his living room and dining space to get a sense of the direction he was going in for them. And I pulled some of the colors and some of the other inspo from those rooms. And Deian said he was completely open and down for paint. He's like, I will gladly repaint it white when I move out. So, I'm going to go ahead and try a few swatches. I just have two that I want to try. One's darker, one's lighter. This one is called Duster. It's just this yellow color. And I've had it in my mind for the direction of this to add warmth to the room and give it like just a moody kind of depth. And I also have a lighter option. This is Pharaoh's Cream, which is kind of like more of a buttery yellow. That's just kind of a lighter direction that I was thinking. So, I'm going to paint this color on as well. few painting tips that are really nice when it comes to painting a ceiling is first you want to get yourself a stick like this. This is just like either a broomstick. You can get them for like $5, this little simple wood one at any paint shop. It's going to make it so much easier to paint the ceiling. And the second thing is that these ceilings actually are a really thick coarse popcorn ceiling. and we're not removing them. That's not rental friendly. However, we can paint over them because they can always be painted back white. This roller here is actually a special roller that has these little miniature splits in it and it allows it to really soak up a lot of paint and also get in all the little crevices of the popcorn ceiling. Why don't we go ahead and test this out? This is heavy. It holds a lot of paint. So, almost fell. Oh, this is nice. This is real nice. Oh, you can like really press into the ceiling and get it into all those grooves. Hey. You are looking at the nightstands that I actually got for this space. I picked them up this morning, drove them over here, and I love these. I actually thought that they were vintage, though, and the underside says 2015. In the photo, when I saw these, I actually thought that the base was red, the top was wood, and the drawer was white. However, when I looked at some other photos, I said that the entire piece was wood. And I was kind of like, h, I feel bad spray painting the bottom red. But I loved the initial photo. These are just from 2015. So I don't feel bad spraying the bottom red. And that is exactly what we're going to do. Everything from here down is going to be a high gloss red. With gloss spray paint, you want to do just a couple of light coats. So I'm going to do probably like three or four light coats and let them dry for like 10 15 minutes in between. On top of the high gloss red being the color I opted for for the nightstand, it's also one of the bold colorways that Mazda offers in the CX90. From the outside, it's all about the clean lines and sculpted proportions, creating a stunning premium vehicle that does not lack in any attention to detail. And Mazda's signature paint colors make this super bold and rich. They offer it in the artisan red, rodeium white, and a few other colorways as well. And the design on the inside is just as intentional as it is on the outside. The dash is minimalist but elevated with Napa leather, real wood, and even handstitched fabric details that nod to Japanese craftsmanship. You guys know I'm all about thoughtful design, and this car definitely blends luxury level styling with everyday functionality in such a seamless way. Let's also not forget the CX90 is super practical, too, with three rows of seating, a spacious second row, and a layout that actually puts the driver first, which I love. I know we're talking about design, but it's definitely not all about looks with the CX90 because they also deliver on performance and tech as well. With a powerful turbocharged inline 6 engine and available plug-in hybrid options, it offers both exhilarating driving dynamics and impressive efficiency. All around, the CX90 from Mazda is a stunning vehicle that does not skimp out on design or performance. I'm so excited about this bed project we are working on. Now, what you are looking at is the headboard of a bed. It's kind of like one of those beds that you purchase from a bulk like wholesale furniture company that has like so many random pieces for super affordable. But the thing is is that we are going to be reupholstering this. And I actually thought it was going to be like a really bad quality boulay. But when it got here, it's quite pretty. However, we want more of like a custom patterned fabric look. And custom beds are so expensive. Like if you want to do a custom fabric on a bed, it's going to cost you a lot. If you could find like a simple style like this one, you can totally add your own fabric. and I went to the fabric store and I ended up picking up this really beautiful fabric and I think it's going to be so nice. It has like a slight stripe and like a check in it as well. Now, the only thing we need to do before we reupholster is remove the two little wood panels on the sides of the bed. So, I'm going to flip this down so that we can access the back side. So, there's this little back panel of fabric which is normally stapled on fully. However, we are going to rip it off because we want to access essentially the inside of this bed. Perfect. We're just dissecting our bed frame. Now, I'm going to lay my fabric down with the actual side I want on the outside or showing. I'm going to put that on the ground. Going to cut a piece that we can work with. So, basically, I'm going to start right in the middle here. Just going to pull my fabric nice and tight. And I always recommend an electric stapler. Like, it's such a great investment, especially if you like doing DIY projects. Something I'll say too is you can never have too many staples. So, add more than you think you need. This edge here is looking pretty good. I'm now going to go to the bottom side, pull the fabric nice and tight, and staple that end. Upholstery really is not too hard and honestly getting a really clean finish in the end is not a challenging thing to do. So just use a bunch of staples and pull your fabric nice and tight. For the corner here, you're going to pull it and wrap it around and add a couple staples to hold that fabric. Then you're going to cover those staples by just folding the fabric in the opposite direction. Kind of tucking that up and over, making it a nice clean corner, stapling it down on the back side. And continuing down the length, I also added back on the wood panels on either side. This headboard looks incredible. Now, the bottom looks like a tiny bit warped down there. But don't worry, it's just because there's no padding down here in this area. So, that's actually where the mattress is sitting. It's going to be fully covered. So, the fabric got a little bit like warped down there. But, we are now going to cover the side rails, the footboard, and this just looks so good. I also love it with like the dark wood panels on the left and the right side. It's just such a nice bed. And this is probably like from start to finish this would take me maybe like 2 and 1 half 3 hours. It has finally come time to put this room together. I'm so excited. It is morning of day three and I'm about to lay down a rug. And of course, you know, the rug is from my very own collection with June Loy. And this is a rug I feel like I've kind of like not touched on too many times, but it's one of my favorites in the collection. And I ended up getting this one actually in a 9 by12 because I wanted to cover a lot of the floor in here. And with my collection, you can get such large rugs for such a great great price point. So definitely check it out. This is the Oliver Vera. It has this like textured checker that we did based off of the batch elder tile in my home. Pull this back because this is going to be quite a large rug. Pretty much going to fill this room. But I love it. Oh my gosh, it looks so good with the color in here. And we can actually get to building the bed and putting the nightstands in that we painted yesterday. They have been drying. Bringing in the nightstands. And I love, love, love, or at least I'm hoping I love the way that our red base looks. This dresser is really cool. It's also kind of petite, but I love how it mixes three different tones of wood. We have like the pine and then we have like this kind of mapley walnut tone and then there's also this sort of like burl. Oh, these are connected. Those are cool. I didn't realize that. This dresser is so cute. I love it. I just love love love the mix of wood. I love the little pop of silver from the handles. It gives a lot more space to style than I thought. I don't know why I was thinking like the dresser is going to take up the whole wall because clearly there's a lot of space here. I also need to swap out the light above. The space is coming together so well though and I'm loving what I'm seeing so far. I have one of the coolest accent chairs I have ever seen that I picked up for Tian's place. This was quite a ways away and it was quite a journey last night, but the CX90 was honestly so nice to drive in and I was able to pick up the whole entire chair. As you can see, it's super large and I still have four seats. It's like I didn't even have to put the seats down, which is quite crazy. Okay, she made it. Oh, it's cool. It's such a cool size. It looks so good. The size is so good. And there's some little embellishments that I have to add. There's like a little piece of shearling that you put on here that has this It is our last and final day in Tion space and I am so excited to style this. Like this is a moment I've been waiting for. And I have a piece of art right here which is quite stunning. It is really really great. I love it because I love the black and white, the simplicity of it. It's a landscape, but I love how striking it looks against this color, especially since we kind of drew a lot of the white out of the room. This just adds a nice striking pop. I have a laser level, which is just going to let me hang the art a lot easier. I always suggest using a laser level when it comes to hanging artwork. I'm going to use my little hack for hanging artwork where you take a piece of painters tape, you stretch it the length of the art, and just align it at the top of my art. And then I'll be able to mark right on the tape where I want my nail holes to go. And then you could transfer this directly to the wall. So I know I want to go just a little above. Yeah, I think that's going to be good for the art. Pull off the tape. Okay, this is the art. Hopefully that looks good. Let me turn off the laser level and then grab our new floor lamp because this was the one that was in here, which is not bad, but I have a really cool brass one that I think is going to add even more vibes to the room. brought this one from home. I had it in my living room for a while, but I thought it can look so good in here. So, I'm gonna quickly And then this will live over by the chair. What do we think? I think this probably looks good. I haven't actually looked at it yet. So, let me take a step back, look at this, and then we can get to the bedding. So, for the bedding in here, I'm actually kind of keeping it simple. I'm doing simple navy bedding, the same pillows at the top. I'm not doing throw pillows. I'm keeping it very just effortless, easy. And this type of um comforter that I'm working with, it has a nice little kind of quilting on the top that's going to add some interest. And it's just going to be tucked around the edges. It's super easy to make the bed every day. So, I wanted to make that very like simple and make it so that the bed didn't have to be like made up and be the focal point of the room. It's kind of just like living in the space. The bedding is just going to be simply tucked around the exterior, folded over at the top. Super simple. I found this great dimmable sconce online that was brass and it was super affordable. So, I ended up installing this and I love how it looks kind of like an outdoor light, but it's indoor. I always love using elements of outdoor inside. this abstract oil painting I picked up at a flea market a while back but it just features a bunch of colors that I feel like we're also using in this space along with this vintage table lamp which is super cool. It's back from I think the '9s. It has a paper shade on it and I just used some other little bits to style with. I added some tulips which I love. Tulips are my favorite flower and this thinking man statue as well. Hello. The dresser is so cute. I'm obsessed. Um, but I have this really cool chain. I'm going to hang it on the wall. I saw one of my friends, Brady Tolbert, do this once in his like office space, and I always have loved it so much. These are like normally what you'd put on a coffee table, but I'm going to use this um curtain rod hook that I happen to have an extra one of. I'm going to hang it on the wall just like this and then hang this over the top. So, it's just kind of going to be a mounting bracket for it, but I think it's going to be kind of cool. I know it's really random, but I thought it was just cool. And I love the kind of rope texture on this. So, it's just going to hang and act as like a little sculptural wall element, like a wall decor. I added these glass mushroom lamps to the nightstands, which kind of channel the wall color, which I love that tone on tone look. A couple of warm wood accents, and this trumpet actually ended up making its way into the nightstand, which I think is really cool. We are adding the final piece, which is this little mirror. And the funny thing actually is that Tion bought from my online store a while back, which is crazy, but he was like, I actually found your online shop and I bought this and I just loved that he bought that. I thought it was so funny. And so I wanted to put it in the center of the bed up here. I actually love it as well. It's one of our horn frames from the online store. And I actually cut a mirror and just put it on the inside. So it's like a small little kind of simple mirror. And I love the way a small piece of art or like a small wall decor element looks above a bed. I think that finishes off the space. Oh my gosh, we have to reveal it. I'm scared. We have to reveal the space now. All righty. It has been a couple of days since I last saw you. Tian actually had to do a last minute little business trip. So, he went on his trip, came back today, and we made it a point to come over while he literally just arrived so that we can share him the space just so that it didn't get ruined or anything. I'm so excited to share this space with him. It is one of my favorite spaces I think I've ever made over. I just really feel like the before and after is a complete transformation. Like, we totally transformed the feeling of this room. Oh, I'm really scared. Okay, come like thereish. I feel like that's probably good. You remember what it looked like before, right? It was like just a white box with like not much in Very easy to forget. Very easy. Um, okay. So, you can open your eyes and see your face. No. Oh my. Wow. Holy moly. What do you think? This is insane. Wow. I mean, it's a it's a bedroom. Yeah, it's actually a bedroom. This is so cute. We painted the ceiling, which was such a process because the ceiling loved to suck up the paint, but I think the paint in here looks so cool. Like, the color looks so good and it's like calming and with the lamps on, so relaxing. It's such a good vibe. Like every time we were in the space, we kept on being like, "Gosh, I have to paint this color in my room." And Dustin would be like, "I have to paint this color in my house somewhere." It looks so good. Even I know in the reflection, the mirrored reflection. I shot like such a cool photo in the reflection. And I thought the chair was super cool because I thought it was kind of architectural. Yeah, that's something you would really like. And I love it's like it all feels so warm and just cozy. And then actually replace that horrible light. Yeah. And it's cool, too, because this actually dims. So, you can like it can be like a little vibe or This feels so comfortable already. It's just like And this was the whole streaming that you guys were doing. Yes. So, we bought like just a basic or a more basic bed and then reupholstered it in this fabric just to make it look like really custom and like it looks really custom. Yeah. And the white drawers are incredible. I hope you like it. I love it. Well, this is inspiration for the rest now. A Thank you. I love that. The heck with the chair. That's like the nicest chair I have now. Yeah, that's a good one. Yeah, you can really take a gander there. Wow. We'll just like come over to your house and see you just sitting in the corner. I won't leave. I'll be that statue right here for the rest of time. Perfect. It's such a vibe, right? So talented. Yeah. I mean, look, the just the overwhelm of like where do you even begin and you're just in here like it's so fun. And I feel like I got a lot of inspo from you too because you're just like a vibe yourself whereas a lot of people like I kind of have to figure out what their vibe is. But I kind of you have a vibe. So, I was like, "Oh, I'm just going to pull what he already like what I am getting from him." And this room, too, it looks really really great with the lamps on. Like, it looks so nice when all of the lamps are on. It like really warms it. This is so cozy. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, that was so good. Thank you. I'm so happy you like it. I mean, I'm blown away. I'm literally speechless. I'm going to I'm going to sleep well here. So, I'll catch you guys all in my next one and see you next time. Bye. A big thank you to Mazda for sponsoring this video.
