FULL HOME TOUR 🏠 1929 Spanish Revival *3 Years of DIY Makeovers*

Hello everybody. Welcome back to my channel. It is Drew here from Lone Fox and I have literally waited three years to make this [Music] video cuz I've now finished half of my house. And I know 3 years sounds like quite a long time to some of you guys, but I have literally been working on this by hand, creating content around all of it and sharing it here on my channel over the past 3 years. And this is sort of the finalized tour of the space I've been living in because to be honest with you, we are going to be doing a lot downstairs, which is coming up on the channel. But there are going to be some rooms downstairs that sort of stay as storage spaces and aren't really going to be made overs. I have befores of every single room. So, as I walk through all these spaces, I'm going to be sharing with you guys things I've done to the rooms, um, paint colors I've added, things I've collected, furniture pieces, just really things that stick out to me in each space. Why don't I go ahead and share it with you? Now, this house is a 1929 Spanish duplex. So, it's a stacked mirrored duplex, meaning that the units are identical, but I connected them up. So, it's kind of like one large house essentially. And the room I'm in here is the upper living room, kind of like the grand living room, as I call it. So, we're going to start our tour off in this space. And I love this room. It's actually like the reason I bought this house. I wanted a really unique ceiling line, and that's what I got in this room. It has really high like 16 foot vated ceilings with a cathedral ceiling as well. It's a really beautiful dark color. And in the photos actually of this space, which I'll pop it up of the before photos, I thought the ceiling was not very pretty. I knew I was going to have to like restain it or do something to it. But then when I came and toured the space, it was so much more beautiful than I expected. I didn't have to touch the ceilings. But I did have to restain the floors in the entire upper because there's lots of like pet stains on the wood floor and water spots and it just was very very dingy and damaged. So, we sanded down all the floors up here, restained all of them. And another thing while I'm standing over here is I actually knocked the mantle off of this fireplace. I found out that the mantle was an add-on or I knew it was because it just didn't feel right with the space. So, we knocked it off, replastered the front of it, and it really gave it this like really nice streamlined look. Over here, I have my TV on an easel, which is really cool cuz we can move this around. So, if we have more guests over on this side, we can pivot it really super easy. And these bookcases, this whole wall essentially has been redone because the bookcases were not here before. These are actually IKEA Billy bookcases that I completely reframed the fronts of, added new baseboards, even slanted the shelves and added these little bronze railings to kind of create a picture moment. And we added electrical to the back sides and then sort of fixed them into the walls. Retrimmed the fronts, painted them all in so it really looks like authentic built-ins that have been here for a long time. They have not been. They've only been here for probably 2 years. And I love the way that they look. They really create high impact in the space, too. Because the ceilings are so tall, I wanted areas I can decorate and add fun trinkets and decor. These stained glass doors actually came out of a 1920s house, so same era as mine from Pasadena. I found them at an architectural salvage store, and they were window panels before, so I turned them into doors, added handles, hinges, everything needed to. But something I will say is that living with them, they're really, really beautiful, but they don't let a lot of light in. And this is a massive light source because the sun sets on this side. So, we get a lot of light in here. And I've been playing around with the idea of swapping all these glass panels to be clear glass. Uh just because I think it will let in so much more light in this living room space. So, that's just an idea. The only kind of thing I've been wanting to change in the upper full space is that. So, let me know what your thoughts are. So, yeah, this is sort of this side of the living room. And when you walk over here, there's actually this little bonus room in the upper unit. This is not actually in the lower. And this area kind of turned into a little lounge. It used to be an office space. So, I can share with you guys what it once was before and what it's now turned into, which is kind of a lounge area. And I love this room. The view actually from where I'm sitting like out here is so so good. You can see like all the different elements like the couch, the chairs, the bookcases on the side. It's a really cool room, especially at night time. Like it's just such a nice vibe. You can open up the door. There's a balcony out here as well. All around. I love this space. And that's kind of like our living room area. I'm going to now lead us out to kind of like the stairwell landing that takes us to the rest of the [Music] home. And this is kind of like the landing that connects everything up. So, we have the stairwell going downstairs. We This used to be a closet actually right here on the left. There was a door, but it had a window in it. So, I took the door off, added a little countertop, and also added a section for my dog to be able to go out onto the balcony there. And then through this archway is our dining room. And then through this one over here is bedroom spaces. Okay, so here we are in the dining room. And this is one of my favorite rooms in the entire upstairs. I love it. It gets so much light. I also love the wall treatment. It's a lime wash on the walls. Has original painting on all of the beams as well. And believe it or not, I found this light fixture for like $200 on Facebook Marketplace. And it just is such a cool fixture. It's one of my favorite ones in the entire home. And this table here weighs about 800 lb. I ended up getting this from a vintage seller a long time ago. And I've transferred it between multiple houses of mine or multiple spaces I've had. I can't imagine ever getting rid of this table. It's such a cool one. And I always get questions actually about this tapestry. Found this at a rug store in Los Angeles. They were getting rid of a lot of their inventory and they sold this at a great price so I had to pick that up. And this wall over here is kind of just like a decorative serve filled wall. I actually have this candle l that we can use for dinner parties and these little candles as well which is fun. This console here is kind of like Tetris. They kind of connect up together or you can pull them out longer. And I found this on marketplace. A mass majority I will say of pieces this was also on marketplace. Like I find so many fun things on Facebook Marketplace. And believe it or not, this wall, this arch here was never here. This used to be a full wall when I moved in. There was a tiny little door on the side, which you're going to see, but I did have this opened up. It was like one of the first things I did when purchasing the house because I wanted to connect up the kitchen a little bit more. I actually originally wanted to remove this entire wall here and this entire wall here, but it was going to cost me over $100,000. And I was like, you know what? Nope. That's not happening. We are not doing that. So, I instead added this large arch, which I still feel like looks so nice. It really opens up the space. And behind that, I created this kind of coffee bar section, which this used to be sort of a butler's pantry is what it was called. So, just like lots of kitchen storage, but now it's a coffee bar. I painted all the cabinetry this kind of dark chocolate brown color. And the marble throughout the kitchen, which I'm going to take you into in a minute, is Kakuta Monae. And I had all of this like hand placed. I literally went to the stone yard and placed all the templates on the stone in the exact spots I wanted them because I had this vision for like having the stone, which you're going to see in the kitchen, heavier at the top and then like lighter at the bottom. So, it kind of created this border and yeah, so I was really intentional when picking the stone, especially when I was spending that much money. I was going to get it in the right spot. Let me take you guys into the kitchen now because this is our dining space. [Music] Here's the kitchen. And a lot of people actually think this kitchen is a lot larger than it is. It's a very, very small kitchen. This is an apartmentiz kitchen, if you will. And I really made the most of it. I maximized all the spaces. I added the marble because I wanted to ensure that if I was paying for the stone, like I said, like we were putting it everywhere possible. So, I brought it like down the wall here. Like even all the way down to the floor here, underneath the cabinets right there. Um, I added shelves of marble as well. Redid the windows, just painted them and added new trim on them, and found these really cool 1920s pendant lights from a antique shop in Pasadena. The cabinet color in here is Van Baron Brown. And all of the hardware is from Rejuvenation. It's from their Mission line if you are curious. Dishwasher. I actually wrapped this in copper. It was a very very popular DIY on my channel. It still is getting a beautiful patina to this day. Like it kind of ages each day and looks better and better, which I love. And it has been perfect ever since I did that video, which is probably like 2 years ago now, which is crazy. This is kind of like the main food prep area. Well, I mean, food prep's like back here, but then you can cook over here. On this side, we have the stove, which was kindly gifted from Wayfair when I did a project with them a while back. And I created the vent hood here and plastered the entire kitchen in a color called Drew's White uh by Miod. It's a plaster and it looks so good on the walls. I love love love the color. And then through this archway is actually our breakfast nook. And I knew in the breakfast nook I wanted it to be a little bit more playful. So I did a striped pattern on the wall. I literally did this all by hand with tape. Lighted it all one afternoon and it really wasn't too bad. And I also created this table which is really cool. It was one of the first things I brought into the house. Found this really unique antique tile tabletop and then added it on top of a pot and then on top of a rock. They're all glued together with like industrial strength adhesive, but it makes up this really great table. And then at the table, I have a set of Alana chairs. And these are so cool. They're like a brutalist leather and iron chair. And I just think the shape is so unique. And I also have some new curtains. I just added these yesterday. Kind of love them though. They're a little patterned curtain from Westm. They're actually napkins um whenever I swap out my cafe curtains. These are just simple dinner napkins. So, I buy like three packs and pop them on the walls. The base color is dim if you're curious. And then the one on top is Joe's white. So, that's the two colors both from Pharaoh and Ball. And I also transferred in here a little bit of the marble. So, we brought the marble just into the toppers of these built-ins. And yeah, I feel like that's all that's happening in here. This is where Winston eats as well. And we tend to do a lot of like computer work in this space because it's nice and bright and airy. And I just love being in the breakfast nook area. I think in the future what could be really fun is actually doing like a built-in bat situation since the windows are a little higher. We had that opportunity. So that could be something that happens in the future. Um but I do want to take you actually back through here to the laundry room. We have the fridge. We have fruit. And then we have in here the laundry room. And there is supposed to be a railing here for the stairwell, but it's currently being made. It's been made for a long time. Um, and it's going to be added here once it's done. But this room I actually painted. I think it's schoolhouse white from Pharaoh Ball. I love love love how high impact this tile countertop is. And I did this laundry room very very impromptu. And I was like, what tile can I get same day? So I ended up contacting Zeia Tile and they had two tiles in stock. one of which was glazed and one that was unglazed and the unglazed one was like a white. So I actually stained it with wood stain and turned it brown. Then I sealed it and the glossy ones just contrast with it. So there's kind of like this gloss and this matte factor that I really like. And I also have this great armois which I love this. It's like the perfect little laundry hutch. Um there's lots of storage and we normally have lots of paper towels. A lot of you guys probably saw this makeover, but I was so excited about this cabinet because it fits paper towels perfectly, so we always store them here. But clearly, we need to restock this solid bronze vase that's a fish. I have this beautiful little vessel that has like cherubs, little embellishments like this. So, that's our laundry room. And let's head out to the hallway so I can share with you the hallway and then all the bedrooms. So, I really love this view when you walk into the hallway area. We had the coffee bar, then the dining room, but I love how you can kind of get a peak of our yellowish toned hallway with the bright red doors. I did a high lacquer door in the hallway. Two different colors again from Pharaoh Ball. I did string or actually it's cord. I did cord on the walls and we have eating room red on the doors in a high gloss lacquered finish. And I really wanted to do something kind of fun and unique in this space. I also had a skylight in here, so I knew that the gloss would kind of have a impact from the light that we have from above. So, I thought that could be cool. And I sprayed all the doors in here, the high gloss red, and then we painted it. That's kind of mainly what I did in here. I also added this lantern. And we did have colored glass up here, but I ended up actually taking the colored glass out because I like just the natural light coming through. It connects up a lot of our bedrooms. There's actually a room back here, which we're probably going to head into first, which is Marie's bedroom. Then we have my bathroom, my bedroom, and our guest space. So, let's head to Marie's room first room. And a lot of people, especially me, I love this room. And Marie, I think she likes it a lot, too. But we actually did a plaster treatment in here, which was so so timeconuming. We had to plaster all the walls. That's why the ceiling didn't get plastered was because I was like, we are painting this. I'm not plastering it anymore. So, we put it on the walls and then we had to sand it all off. But, it looks so good. You can literally see the actual stone like little bits in here. And in this space, a lot of the furniture is actually from Lulu and Georgia. So, we have this really beautiful nightstand and kind of dresser set. And then I also have this bed that we also got from them. So, another reason that this room is the color palette that it is is because it's actually neighboring a red home. The neighboring house is literally bright red and it bounces a bright red reflection in here. And when I first saw this space, it was pure white and it looked pink. It was like a bright pink color. I cannot imagine living in a room that had that much red bounce. So, I ended up actually designing it to kind of encapsulate the red bound. And I feel like that's exactly what I did here. It's kind of this warm suede. That's the color of it. And it has this orangey tone, orangey brown kind of conac leather color. And in the end, it really does look like suede walls. We also have rugs throughout the entire house, which I haven't even touched on. I feel like Have we seen any? Oh, yeah. In the dining room, we saw one. There's rugs throughout the entire house for my collection with June Loy. This is one of our rugs. This is a monosito in here. And this rug is so cozy, so plush. Yeah, this is Marie's bedroom. And I spend actually a lot of time in here. We love just transferring and hanging out in each other's rooms. I think that we are now going to pop into the guest room before heading into my bedroom. This bedroom is wallpaper. It's a grass cloth that kind of has this floral print on it and it almost resembles a block print, but I just wanted to do something really high impact. I also love just experimenting with each room I do. I like them to feel a little different from the last. So that's why each room they kind of have a fully different look from space to space, but I think that's fun. It's like you're stepping into a new new space each time. And so in this room, we have the Fairfax rug from my collection. And we actually diyed the headboard in here. It's a walllength headboard and it was super easy to create but it kind of makes it feel a little bit like a built-in bed/ like hotelesque vibe. That's what I wanted. Found the nightstands in here on Facebook Marketplace and this really really cool dresser which in this drawer here Otto heightman purchased in Cincinnati Ohio 1837 later went to Columbus Ohio in 193 in 1913 and then after the big flood was brought to Munich in 1971. So, this has had a long journey. I think it's a really cool piece and I love the marble on the top. All the curtains actually throughout the entire home if you're curious are from two pages. I really love their curtain panels. And yeah, this bedroom is really cute. It's definitely different from the other spaces in the home. But that's why it's a guest bedroom. You know, it's like different from your everyday environment and guests are here for only a little bit of time. So, I figured why not give them something fun. Now, something else in this room is actually a bathroom, which is right over here. This is Marie's bathroom and one of my most viral projects I would ever say that I've done. And that was concreta. And what concreta is essentially a concrete plaster product that you put right over the top of tile. So the original tile, this little kind of border here, it's actually tile. All down here was subway tile. I just went right over the top of it with my plaster product. And I did this about 2 years ago. Still going strong. The entire shower as well. completely plastered over the top of the tile. So, there was no demo. And that's what the product is made for. It's like for a no demo transformation. And I love it. It completely transformed this space. It's so smooth and like cleanable, wipable. The shower is great. You guys are going to get an overview of like what it's looking like. And it looks so so so good. The color of this product I did is Westwood Beige. And the vanity here is Aurora Brown by Benjamin Moore. A lot of the accents are, you know, from Facebook Marketplace. and some artwork from my online store, which we are now going to head into my room. Here we are in my bedroom, which is actually the last kind of large room in the house. However, there are two little small rooms over here I'm going to share with you. It actually had a massive chandelier hanging right here um that almost went down to here. And it was just like a white box in here. So, I actually ended up painting the ceiling this kind of ochre really pretty golden amber color and then did two navy stripes under it. And I think that the stripes really add a nice tailored look to the room. They're so simple, but they add like a lot of impact. Um, and I think it's definitely something I would consider doing in more spaces in the future. I love the little simple line detail bed in here. I love this bed. It is from Jake Arnold and Kraton Barrel. Found these really cool pendant lights on Facebook for like $30. And so we hung them on either side of the bed above these nightstands. This is actually where I like have my TV. And in here, this used to be green and I ended up painting it to look like wood, but it actually provides a lot of storage. I use the entire bottom as a dresser. The entire top has like a ton of my like filming equipment in it. And then the center has my TV. So, it's just all around a really nice piece of storage. My dog's little crate is over here. That's for when I go out in the day. I don't want him running around the house and being crazy. And then he has his lounger over here. This is literally Winston's chair because he loves sleeping on top of the IKEA lounger, which is really funny. But over in here is my office space. One of my most used spaces. Turned out so cute. I actually completely wood panled this small room. And this was not even a room. This used to be cabinets. So, it was kind of like a pass through. It was considered a dressing room in the space. And so, you would have your little kind of dressing counter here. And then there was these cabinet doors here that you would open and have additional clothing or whatever you would need. First full year I lived here, I never even opened these cabinets. So I ended up pulling the cabinets out, creating this entire like wood encapsulated office area and a built-in desk. So now I have this little workspace and I love it so much. Kind of in between the bathroom and my bedroom. I'm the only person that uses this space so I don't really care that like it's connected up to my office and bedroom area. But when you lead in to here, this is my bathroom. It's kind of been through a few different phases as well. So Lowe's actually made this bathroom over for me about a year ago. They did all the tile in here on the floor on the walls. So after they did the space, I just went in and kind of added some personal touches. I did the blue paint channeled from the blue tile here and I added some cool vintage pieces. I also got this beautiful vanity from Lowe's as well. But I have to say this bath wall here is one of my favorite vignettes in the whole house. I just feel like it's such a cool vibe. Love the mix of like silver and the black sconces with the bathtub. That is kind of the entire upstairs. I can't believe it. Like look how cute it is out here though. See that little like furniture piece? I don't know if you can see it in the background. It's really cute though. And that, my friends, was the house tour. I cannot believe how much we have gotten done in 3 years. It feels like a long time. But when you look back at all the spaces, there really was so much that went into each room. And also, I really wanted to live with the house for a while and kind of figure out what each space wanted to turn into and what each space needed to transform into. And I feel like we were able to do that. And if there's any space in this home that you were curious on how I created it, there's probably a video on my channel for it. So, I'll do my best to link below a lot of the coordinating videos for each of the rooms. If you are curious, along with any of the products throughout the house, like whether it be furniture or I'll link whatever you guys are looking for in the description box. So, thank you all so so much for watching this video. And if you have not already subscribed to my channel, make sure to do so. I post brand new videos every single week here on Lone Fox. And we have multiple spaces downstairs to get to. And the downstairs is going to be a journey. So, follow along and let's get started with it. Bye, guys. [Music]
