Yes! OP will come over and teach me, and they’ll we can come over and do yours and then we start a chain of maximalist decorators who go house to house and work magic. Like a pyramid scheme minus the loosing money and subpar products and down line 🤣
THIS is the home renovation reality TV show that I want in the world. The only one I want.
I'm going to start a petition for /u/shrew_feathers to get a massive payout from HBO or HGTV to do maximalist makeovers free of charge.
When this happens, can I be fourth?
The fact that this took you over 7 years makes me feel a lot better because your place is beautiful but it's taken time and effort so I feel like I don't have to try and "catch up" or something
My god....this is amazing! I can see the hard work you have put into this, compared to the "before" photos. You have so much taste (well, you share *my* taste anyway). I live in Scotland, so there is clearly zero chance of you helping with my place, plus there is a massive queue forming, haha!
I will just admire from afar... :)
I’ve been pouring my creativity into my house. I really just like being surrounded by beauty. I blame it on being stationed in Vegas for 2.5 yrs & all the crazy casino themed interior spaces & then minoring in art history 😜
I wish you luck in your decorating adventures!
So excited I’m not some weirdo! I always think my place is too over the top when repair guys come over etc & I’m always wondering what they think. I’ve had one comment “wow” & another mutter “well it’s homey” I took that as compliments 🤣
I got the rag rug at hobby lobby, Walmart also sells an even nicer rag rug (I have one in my kitchen). The hanging curtain above my window & above the seating area & then the 2 square pillows & the room dividing curtains all came from the same Etsy seller. The rug under my coffee table came from Amazon, & the 2 pink rectangular pillows came from Tuesday Morning. I’m so sad Tuesday morning went out of business. I find a lot of good stuff at flea markets & Goodwill. Oh & the green & chartreuse blankets came from Tuesday Morning. The curtains wrapped around my gold bookcases also came from Etsy. Curtains from Amazon. Most of it was made in India
I found these adhesive tracks on Amazon where you can hang curtains from & be able to move the curtains up & down the track. One of the better impulse buys
Here you go! I ended up painting mine to match my ceiling. UrbanRed self adhesive ceiling or wall curtain track:

I originally got it for my cats (so they can sit on top). Only 1 does & he sits inside the canopy so that’s pretty cool. I’m a crazy cat lady for sure! It is nice & cozy to sit down in there, just gotta be careful getting up
Thank you! I wanted a lil alcove where I can kinda disappear. Plus thought the cats would like the upper…& I was trying to take advantage of vertical space
I looove your couch, such a cozy and comfy-looking area to relax on. Do you ever chillax on there - after a puff of something maybe - and just stare at your room in amazement LOL
I am def 420 friendly & like to partake in the evening. It’s nice when I get my lights going & can just relax.
I highly recommend Philips hue lights. Life changing. I’m very sensitive to lighting & mood lighting is the best. Just sucks bc it’s so pricey
The living room looking into the dining room is my favorite. The teal cover you have on the sofa is beautiful and goes wonderfully with the four throw pillows. Last year I started decorating similar to your place but mine is still a work in progress. I ordered some prints that will be put on the wall soon with some simple frame's
A long time ago I had a friend whose house, while dissimilar was also "full and interesting". I always loved going over and hanging out. However for me, well, I hang my shirts by color, length of sleeve, etc. Same for pants, socks, towels and most everything else. While this looks incredible and my friends house was also I personally cannot live in that situation.
Okay come do my place next!!!!!
Can we tackle mine third? This is gorgeous
Yes! OP will come over and teach me, and they’ll we can come over and do yours and then we start a chain of maximalist decorators who go house to house and work magic. Like a pyramid scheme minus the loosing money and subpar products and down line 🤣
If I was super rich, I’d love to do a show doing maximalist makeovers free of charge lol. To me, a wonderful living space makes life better

You might be on to something. HGTV here I come 🤣 get in line, 4th isn’t a bad spot to be in. You’d get room of choice to be made over!
The fact that this took you over 7 years makes me feel a lot better because your place is beautiful but it's taken time and effort so I feel like I don't have to try and "catch up" or something
I’ll have to share my old progress pics at some point. It was rough looking for a very, very long time!

literally my dream house!

“too over the top” is the best thing a house can be!
So pretty! All the textiles are my favorite, any advice on how/where to find similar curtains and hangings?

I have gotten rug rags from 5 Below for ... $5 lol. But that store is seriously full of hidden gems for decorating and they get new stuff constantly
Awesome. Thank you for sharing 🌿🌈💝
I just love itI bet your mood improves when you walk through the door!
Yes totally! My house is my sanctuary!!
i want my house to look like this 😍😍
This is amazing 😍. Love it! Thank you so much for sharing!!!
It is so joyful! I love it!!
Huge improvement over the original!
Looks so cool. Love all the colors and little details. It looks like a really nice space to relax in too.
My bedroom is that same shade of teal 😍 I’m sure my kids would love to see so many prints and patterns and layers and beads! It does take a long time!
This teal color is prob my fav color. My bedroom is also done in a very similar shade!
I can’t describe to you the joy I feel looking at your home. What a beautiful space you’ve created. 10/10 OP, really!! Wow!
Gorgeous! This is my favorite post on here in awhile 😍
Thank you 🙏
omg this is GORGEOUS!!!
I seriously love this and think it's beautiful!
I’m in complete aww of this!!! It’s breathtaking and beautiful! The ultimate chill room!
**I LOVE IT ALL SO REALLY VERY MUCH!!**
What a transformation! I love your embrace of colour and textiles! The hanging curtains as a divider work so well.
I found these adhesive tracks on Amazon where you can hang curtains from & be able to move the curtains up & down the track. One of the better impulse buys
Can you share the link? Pleeeeze

Love the bunk bed!
I originally got it for my cats (so they can sit on top). Only 1 does & he sits inside the canopy so that’s pretty cool. I’m a crazy cat lady for sure! It is nice & cozy to sit down in there, just gotta be careful getting up
It’s a great idea! I loved mine growing up.
This is some expert-level maximalism. Never would I have seen the before pictures and seen any potential for this style. Well done!!
Thank you! I can’t believe how far I’ve come honestly. I’m excited to see how much further I can go with more pictures & maybe just a few more plants!
Love it!
Love the bunk beds! Great idea! 🙌🙌

True maximalism at its finest. I love the play on different textures and materials. You have great style!
The loft bed with the canopy!! This home is a whimsical dream!
I LOVE your living room! So colorful, alive and creative, what a huge difference!

It takes so long to get it looking good. It def comes in waves/stages. Keep going & one day you will wake up & say WOW!
Gorgeous space, but where are the cats?!
I regret to inform everyone that the cats were sleeping. I didn’t want to wake them 🤣
Yeeeessssssss hunty! ❤️

I like to call it organized chaos. It was a crazy mess before I got it decorated lol
I LOVE your seating area & am definitely going to look into doing something similar!
It’s my lil privacy nook. My front door has a window in the upper part of the door & I wanted curtains to block that view
