Design Vs. Design — Room Makeover Competition!

hardest part of decorating the threat to you. I think the hardest part was just making sure my vision was actually realized. And it turned out better than I wanted, so I'm super happy. I think it looks amazing, but I don't know if you've heard that this is a

competition

. I think it's time for us to go and discuss deliberate deliberations, thank you very much. At first I felt a very good vibe. I wasn't sure if they were like oh yeah, you know this is cool and I'm asking them, do you really like it or are you just saying that? you know, but then as they continue to talk more, it seems like they really liked it, the time has come, guys, I know it's hard, I'm neutral, honestly, so far, you know, they've exceeded my expectations.

I think both

room

s are fantastic, but different, very different, yes, they both did a very good job using the space. All the furniture looks amazing. I would use them in my house in both

room

s at the same time. I love how cozy Dashola's room was when you walked in. I mean, obviously. I was immediately drawn to the brass sideboard and felt like it felt more like living there, but the aesthetic of it is honestly not something I would say I would choose, but now I'm obsessed with it and it's specifically the artwork and how it flipped that painting that is so innovative it's thinking outside the box so I definitely think.

You need to congratulate him on that, I think you can compare the paintings and then also Natalie's impulse to do a DIY. She came back the second day and was like she had been thinking about it. She really wanted to do this rather than an art. piece, so obviously taking the opportunity to do something organic like that is an opportunity and I love how he made the mirror thinner because it really makes the room look a little bit bigger. Let's talk about textures. What did you think, who had the best? moments and playing with different textural elements, well I love that Natalie even said when we were talking to her that she brought blankets into the room to make it feel a little cozy because I think both rooms had a little more luxurious fabrics as far as to the sofas and some other things in the room, but having those extra things like blankets really makes it more cozy, so you feel like you want to sit on the sofa, you want to watch a movie and hang out in this place, yes, she .

She also brought something, yes, she did a lot of bohemian things. I really like the mix of prints with, you know, the pillows and the vase and even the little ottoman, that was the thing, yeah, and that's a pretty advanced move to be able to mix prints. Also, I don't know if you guys got a chance to see some of the magazine books and shoes that she had, like surfer magazines, which I thought were little details that were cool, yeah, so she really put an identity on it. the space, I think both really, yeah, I loved the Daeshola accent wall, yeah, I loved how he used tonal colors to make it really stand out in the back, totally, it didn't stand out like it didn't scream, the accent wall it just created almost like a depth to them by creating almost like a shadow effect on the back, it really draws you in, there's definitely a real comfort in his room, that's not so easy you know, like you can see him curled up in that space even though it's real.

I wanted to go and sit and rest a little bit and the other thing I learned from you is about different ways to look up as well as using the height in the room and you both took advantage of the bookshelves, which can be very stressful. like what goes on a bookshelf and they both really thought about those things, yeah, no, you really see in those two moments how different she is with the tendrils of plants spilling out to

design

something as structural as that bookshelf with something so whimsical. like those plants it's a really beautiful moment and then with it it's all about the geometry and the textures, there's glass, there's plants, there's metal, you know, you really see so many different patinas in his room, okay, you all have done some excellent points, so i.

I'm going to go find the contestants and Joey and you guys will make a final decision while I'm gone, no pressure, just so you know that Kate was very anxious about this because she doesn't want there to be a winner. You know what I want. that you feel justified and valid in every creative choice you make that you don't hold back from committing we really saw deschola doing that we really saw natalie following her instincts and sticking to those choices and they've paid the judges so much do you have any words? For our Deschola contestants, I loved the way you use shapes in the room.

I would have loved to see maybe a little more use of negative space. I think you used every ounce of the room and maybe not using a little wall space could have helped. accent yet another piece and I was very impressed with how innovative you were with the artwork, seeing those paintings side by side with one flipped upside down absolutely blew me away, the only thing that intimidated me a little was your use of metals, In reality it was quite the opposite. I loved the use of your metal elements. I thought it was a great way to add color without adding color.

I agree with Tess that I feel like the space could have been a little more open, but overall I thought your room looked amazing, thanks and then. natalie amazing job I really loved how you used your floor plan I thought not being afraid to put furniture in the middle of the room is actually a great way to open up the space and I would have loved to see maybe a beautiful focal piece on the table of coffee I think you did a good job

design

ing the shelf. I would have also loved to see something on the coffee table.

I'm still impressed by the DIY project you so casually made today in your free time. The only thing I would have loved to see is maybe something to anchor the painting on the opposite side of the room from the bookshelf to tie it all together and I really loved your attention to detail. I noticed the surfer magazine on the shelf. I thought it was amazing that you still paid attention that the only thing for me was the timelessness of the room, it's very trendy now, so how does that evolve? But again I thought it was amazing, thank you, okay, my goodness, good comments, so great. comments and I can tell that it was very difficult for you to find a winner, but jocelyn, the time has come to announce the winner.

Well, the time has come again. Both rooms were absolutely fantastic. The room we selected had so much personality. Some really bold decisions were made and we saw them throughout the space. Congratulations, our winner is Day Chalet, why not, why do I work so hard. Congratulations, my goodness, thank you very much, I had a good time, thanks to the judges who know how to choose. my room, I appreciate it, I'm glad you liked it and thank you all, it was all a good time, yes, but wait, that's not all, because it's very difficult to judge creativity. The folks at Living Spaces have generously given us another five hundred dollar gift card.

They didn't lose, they both greatly exceeded our expectations, those rooms are amazing, very good and I hope everyone is as impressed. It was a lot of fun doing our first layout versus layout. Let us know in the comments if I want to see more videos give these guys a thumbs up give these guys a thumbs up and lots of love and support in the comments guys you are both very talented. I hope everyone is inspired and of course I have to thank our judges. tess albrecht jocelyn davis cynthia diaz thank you so much for being a part of this you put in a lot of very careful thought so thank you, thank you okay, should we go shopping?

You have that money, he judges, come more purchases. yeah, it definitely tastes so good, we already bought a lot, the store is huge, I don't know, I'll make sure everything is safe here, oh, just call me when you're ready to go, take it apart, where's the entrance? Passing in many apartments, you walk straight into the living room, so yes, thinking about things like that is a good point. You seem to be thinking that you are definitely not listening to me. I looked at him when he wasn't listening.
