AAHHH this might be my favorite makeover yet!!! I love it!! 😍🙊 Let me know what you think of our new cozy family room!!
Watching it ❤
That is your castle 😍!!
Kristen, I love everything. The room looks great. You did terrific job.
You are so talented. Love your creativity & resourcefulness. 💕
Your parent’s dining room will always be my favorite. ❤ But this is STUNNING as always. 🥰❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Absolutely gorgeous! I love the mood you’ve created here. Pushing three consoles together to make the size you needed without spending a fortune is genius! Love all of your videos!
Kristen it is actually insane how you put a room together so well 😍😍😩 it looks amazingggg
She makes it looks so easy and attainable but it’s her talent that makes it so very beautiful. Awesome all around!
This is ME!!!! Thank you Jesus for bringing this to me!!! I need you more than ever!
I think this is one of the most favourite design you created so far. Very cozy yet classic but more feels home ..gives the sense of wormth. Mesmerizing Kristen.🎉👏👏
I’m so glad you think so!!! Thank you❤️❤️❤️
That is definitely my kind of vibes ! Very inspiring as i am about to do a makeover of my bedroom with this colour !! Love it ❤
M a big fan of yours. I always admire you. I just love your style. I learnt from you so many things. Now m studying Interior designer. Your interior concept helping me so much ❤😊😊
What a gorgeous makeover! The room is so serene, restful and cosy! You always knock it out of the park, Kristen!
Wow! I dont frequently comment, but this makeover is a show stopper. Absolutely gorgeous and inspiring.
I’m watching this one year later. I’m so pleased because I’ve just decorated our family room with the same colours but you’ve inspired me to make some additional finishing touches. Your room is so beautiful and classy.
This is my favorite makeover and I love all of your makeovers! I love how you explain what and why you choose certain elements and then how to implement them. You make me feel like I can do these changes as well. Thank you for sharing this room with us!
I loved loved loved your bar. I'm so happy to see that you are matching the rest of the room with it! I love that you guys have a room that is completely different and dramatic than the other rooms, but it is still very cohesive. I love moody, serene, cozy spaces. Beautiful! Thank you again Kristen! 💓
Yes!! Exactly!!! You totally see it! Thank you❤️❤️❤️
Girl! Who can choose a favorite??? You knocked it OUT OF THE PARK!
This is fabulous. The three cabinets is genius to hide all that mess and they look so stylish. This is the colour I've just painted my study, and it's so peaceful, everyone comes in. Now I need a swivel chair.
I don't know what it is but there is something so calming about your videos that I love. I very rarely watch videos that don't meet my taste, but yours are something very special. The atmosphere in this room makeover is simply breathtaking!
I want the built ins. Great feature. Love the frames.
What a gorgeous makeover! Very cozy! But I would leave a wider lampshade - it looks more stylish as for me
LOOKS SO GOOD
This room came out so esthetically pleasing. Great job!
I was blown away by the transformation of the family room. The moody academia design brought a sense of sophistication and coziness to the space, and the DIY aspect made it all the more impressive. The attention to detail and creativity showcased in this makeover is truly inspiring.
I always loved the look of using moulding on the walls to do “frames”. It gives the room an elegant, high-end look.
Another beautifully stunning Kristen McGowan production!! Everything you touch is. I LOVE it. So proud of you! I am in absolute awe of you, Lone Fox and XO, MaCenna for being such hard working, willing to get down to the nitty gritty designers. I would love to see you on the “With My Own Two Hands” Podcast. You would be such a natural guest!
This is defenitly a wow room !! I love the bold color you used which makes the room really cosy and not dark at all ! Great job !👍😎🐕🦺
I can't wait recreate this in my apartment living room. It is awesome because when I first saw this I was a home owner, then homeless but now I'm getting my own place and this will be awesome to help with my healing... Love you Kristen!
This is stunning! With so many influencers doing the all white, floor to ceiling rooms, it is beautiful to see rich color again!! This room is cozy, inviting and timeless.
For someone who’s about to build her dream home, everything that i want my contractor and husband to know is in this video and i love it! 😍 From the picture frame mouldings, area rug, the battery operated bulbs, shades and the books! Wow! 😍 So this is what kept you busy? Cuz I’ve been waiting for a new upload for a while! 🥰🥰🥰🏡 I really really love this channel! 🩷💞🩷
Very very impressive!
Kristen, your makeover in your family room turned out absolutely fabulous. I love the wall color. It really made the room warm and cozy and cohesive. And you're thrifting items are awesome. Can't wait for the next video!❤
WOW! You just added 50,000 DOLLAR value to the house! INCREDIBLE MAKEOVER !!!
Yes, it does look like the room has always looked like this. Top job, Kristen. I was able to listen to your video without feeling like I wanted it to end! It looks so homely and comfortable. I loved how you explained what you were doing. Also, the speed with which you talk is just right, and it is clear. Honestly, Kristen, if you were living in Oz I'd hire you to help me out. Thank you for your easy listening tutorial. I will check out the others you have posted.
One of my favorite videos of yours! I loved that you walked us through the prep and decision dilemmas. As someone who loves to redecorate, I find myself questioning everything & every step- when designers always seem to "just know" and "get it right". The way you shared your thinking and planning was so very helpful. I LOVE the finished project- thinking a rec room should be allowed to have its own color and coziness away from the neutrals of other spaces.
Positively beautiful! The family room is so incredibly welcoming that I don't think anyone would be willing to leave. Simply perfect!
I liked the white built in best
Cozy, inviting, beautiful 😍
This transformation is insane, I got chills watching the reveal. You are so talented and inspiring!!!!
This room is absolutely beautiful! I love the walls, the paint color, the built-in’s, the tv console hack, just wonderful!
The tv cabinet is genius!!! I really love it! Thank you!
Great to see no cream or white. Xo mckenna has mastered this moody look too.
You make combining wood tones so seamless!!! Im always so impressed!
Great job as any of your DIY projects, Kristen! The color, the moldings, the decor - I love everything. Very cozy!🎉
It’s the sconces for me 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
The DIY tips and tricks shared in this video were not only easy to follow but also budget-friendly. I never thought I could achieve such a sophisticated look in my family room without hiring a professional interior designer.
The color is absolutely fantastic in your room! The decorations on your built ins are so nice! That is the sort of thing I did with my shelves. I never lay my boos down but it looks awesome. I am a thrifter too and look hard you find some phenomenal pieces. Vases and artificial flowers and small art pieces finish it off! Love it. Thanks for sharing!
This room is absolutely gorgeous! Too hard to choose a favorite because everything is stunning! 😊❤😊
Are you kidding me ?????????????? This is so refreshing and the way you added the components made it so warm ! Love it.
Just - W - O - W!!!!!
Love it! The dark wood coffee table makes the room pop, the moulding brings a richness, amazing. You are so talented.
So stunning, Kristen. I love everything about it. The paint colour and the mouldings are especially gorgeous! 👌🏼
Correct size sofa and swivel chair….perfect
Paint color, molding, etc! Oh my ! Love it!!
You are truly an inspiration! Your ideas, the executions, your ability to do it on your own, you are really an inspirational woman. Great job👏🏾
OMG, this is room is the exact definition of perfection! I`ve been wanting to paint my living room walls with this kind of color and you just made up my mind. Also, I just found out they sell Benjamin Moore in Spain so I can get the same color! If I lived in your house, this room would be no doubt my favorite one. It looks so incredibly cozy yet elegant, bright but still kind of moody, and overall sooo beautiful! I think this is your best design yet!!!
Love love love the paint color and the wall molding. And thrifting makes so much sense and/or bringing vintage pieces that belonged to family members whom you love! 🎉
Henry is amazing. 😊
So inspiring! The moody, cozy aesthetic was executed flawlessly and the creative use of colors and textures was truly impressive. I can't wait to incorporate some of these ideas into my own home!
The room looks amazing. Well done Kristen!
My favorite thing is the paint color
The paint! The molding! Your creativity!! ❤
This was a great transformation! My favorite part was the closet turned into a functioning work area with storage. I also enjoyed watching how you created the raised wall panels. I think tv dens should be cozy and have deeper wall colors. Great job, and looking forward to more videos! 😊
Amazing Kristen! You’ve inspired me to makeover one of my rooms. I love how you explain the idea behind every choice you make and all the tips and diy tricks along the way. Can’t wait to see what else you have in store.
Love paint first, then molding!
Kristen, you've out done yourself on this stunning comfortably warm and inviting space !! You are an Inspiration to me! I would value and be thankful for your guidance with my family room that is pretty much a mirror image of your family room! Thanks ! and God Bless You! Jackie
I absolutely love your style! I get so much inspiration from your makeovers, and you give me the confidence to tackle projects around the house that I would normally shy from like the picture wall paneling. You truly simplified that process. I am definitely getting those Serena smart shades for my sliding doors! Everything came out so beautifully. Thank you for sharing.
First time watcher and I love what you do. You made this room look rich and earthy. Looking forward to seeing more of your channel.
I've really enjoyed all your makeovers over the years, but this is by far my favorite! I love, love, love everything about it... paint color, moulding, furniture, and decor!! Beautifully done Kristen!👏👏👏😍😍😍
This is so beautifully done. Looks modernly classic and fresh. Every bit of this room I love buy my standout items, the window treatments, styling of the bookshelves and the sofa with various accent pillows not to mention the paint color. Hard to stop naming all the wonderful touches you made here. Overall, this room is AWESOMENESS!
Thank you for taking the time to link the tools, furniture, and other items from your makeover. Your room looks great
Omg, you've really outdone yourself with this room. Stunning and so warm, cozy, and inviting. I need to borrow you to come decorate the spaces in my house
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this room!!
The paintcolor makes the biggest difference for me and I also love the cabinet solution under the tv. Such a good job! 🤗
ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!!! WOW!!!! Love your style! 🌷🌷🌷
THANK YOU!!
Praying that the house I found will go through. So I can put all the great lessons from your KZhead to work in my first home. 😂
I love that paint color and it looks fabulous with molding. The color of the coffee table goes so well with the wall color
Your family room is beautiful…thanks for the inspiration!
Absolutely spectacular, Kristen! Everything is meant to be there. Your talent is endless...great job. xo
Kristen, your room looks so good! What an improvement. Love the color and love how you styled the bookcases. Very homey! 💕
Love how the room is warm and inviting. Like you said, it looks like it's been there forever.
COZY! elegant and yet casual too! LOVE It!!! Definitely the paint color and trim are my favorite.
WOW! I'm blown away with how stunning this room turned out to be. When you say it reminds you of a room in a castle, that is definitely spot on. Great job Kristen.
I love the warmth of the room. The panels on the wall are amazing.
AWESOME!!! I love the trim on the walls and putting together 3 cabinets to create one extra large piece of furniture. Thank you for sharing.
So much of an improvement. It has bags of warmth.
My favorite is the paint color and the picture framing on the walls. I also love the furniture, art pieces, wall sconces, everything.
Love the color and the molding. The molding just makes it look sophisticated.
Oh, Kristen! It's stunning! I love the colour, cool and cosy. You could read a book, have a conversation or watch movies. That swivel chair is my favourite. I'm amazed at the way you pick the wall colours that work well with the decors. You are so good! ❤
Kristen, your talent never ceases to AMAZE ME!! This room is Incredible.... SO SO GOOD! LOVE THE COLOR SCHEME, IT ALL TIES TOGETHER PERFECTLY... AND THE RUG IS THE ICING ON THE CAKE ❤
I love how you can see the back patio from your entrance ! So so so awesome!!
What I like most about the room is everything, it's gorgeous. Thank you for the tip on the books and I have been wanting to get decorative pillows for my couch, also sectional but I was too afraid to use different patterns but you have proven me that if you use the right ones, it will look great.
Beautiful! Every detail is covered Love the wall trim and the sconces Great job Kristen!!!!
Love this next step. Yet, why not two cabinets? Any photos of just two?
The most beneficial part of this video for me is hearing your design thought processes, that is, WHY you do things.
Favorite parts: The wall color and picture framing/molding! But it is all fantastic!
I love love love the paint color. I just painted my guest bath on the main floor, my butlers pantry and my fireplace wall Sherwin Williams Urbane Bronze and I’m loving the dark moody feel it creates. I was never brave enough to do dark colors but now I’m glad I did. Yours looks amazing
I love everything! You are an extremely talented decorator. You create very stylish space without breaking the bank. You know how to display everything together to make it look ...wow
Timeless and elegant! Something that will age well and make you feel at home every time you are in it or walk by it. Well done!
I love how you have “grown !”..I say that as a compliment!! ..you inspire me! … I remember your “front door “ as my first of your projects… ❤
Elegant. Well put. Great work. Inviting and warm atmosphere.
Wow, Kristen! This is my favorite of all of the room makeovers I have seen from you! Unbelievable 👏 And soooo cosy🙏🏼
Wow! What an end result !!!!! ❤
Paint color for sure!! That entire styling surprised me and i fell in love with it!❤😊
Just beautiful Kristen. I loved your living room makeover, but this one is definitely my favourite. Cosy & stylish. Great job.
Amazing what a change of paint color can do! Love the new vibe - it's cozy and classy at the same time.
