Giving my Bedroom a Dark Victorian Makeover (and it's very green lol)

Hello friends!! Captions are out for transcription and should be up later! ENJOYYY!

Nick just saying "we just got to get a new rug" and "don't be sorry" healed the inner child that I didn't even know was broken.

Just for everyone’s reference: if you would like your own custom color that you mixed, you can fact bring that custom color on a piece of paper or such and they can scan it and mix that exact color. (Edit: I just wanted to clarify that I didn’t mean this in a critical way! Just in a make other’s crafts easier way!)

I refuse to die before I've achieved this level of whimsical vintage aesthetic in my home and that is that!

“Difficult, difficult, lemon difficult” is my new saying 😂 “dusty and delicious” is also a gem

I love how Nick is so ok with all Rachels plans. That is real love right there.

That little window area you aren’t sure what to do with would make an awesome cozy window seat/reading nook!!

First: it came out so beautiful! I'm super scared of painting walls a dark or bold colour because it is so easy to make the room small and oppressive with that but you managed it perfectly (again). Second: Nick is setting an impossible standard for men 😂 where on earth am I to find someone so handy, supportive and chill that puts up with these things?! You have really found a treasure!

Nick just letting you do whatever to the house is honestly a couple goal.

“Brush strokes” - not wrinkles, not saggy muscles…at 63, this transformed my self image. Thank you, Rachel ❤. This room is so cozy

I'm really just picturing Rachel running her concept by Nick like Rachel: so I'm gonna turn our bedroom into a dark Victorian forest elf/goblin den and paint the ceiling green, that okay? Nick: 👍

We've just had an offer accepted on our first home (at the ripe old age of 35!) and I am loving watching these videos for inspiration! I am SO done with white or cream walls (in the UK you often are not allowed to decorate a rental) and I cannot wait to create my own hobbit/victorian/cottagecore rooms!

I feel like Tom Haverford when he had that emotional reaction to the shapes painting. This made me cry. My ADHD gives me severe decision paralysis. It wasn’t until this year of my life (28) that I’ve been able to officially decide that green is my favorite color. A simple decision, but it has been a life long debate for me. Ive also only recently discovered that I am very drawn to and intrigued by dark Victorian/academia and have had a hard time figuring out how to incorporate it into my apartment decor. Basically just really needed to stumble upon this. Thank you for existing.

Boost so Rachel doesnt have to worry about dust please!!! Mix a little fabric softener and water in a spray bottle and mist it on the faux plants. Zhuzh it a little and itll help repell dust!🌿 You can also rub a drier sheet along any of the ornate moldings to achieve the same dust-repelling effect!🧹 #cleaninghacks

Me watching Rachel about to paint the ceiling: Dropcloths? Please? Rachel: Spills paint on pretty carpet. Me: Yeah, no dropcloths.

The whole thing about crow's feet and stuff made me think of something... i always love looking at the background characters in Pixar movies because when you think about it, the main characters are all designed by executives, but with the background characters the artists get a lot more leeway to do whatever the heck they want... and they always have such interesting and unique background characters.

Just finished working on a ship for six months with no YouTube so I can’t wait to binge all the videos I’ve missed from Rachel 😁❤️

The rug bit was tragic, but the interaction between Nick and Rachel was so cute and pure

AAH it looks straight out of a fairytale 🥺 I'm in love with all the green, and not to mention the gallery wall and foliage wall 😭 Just an amazing makeover!!

Okay, I mostly show up here for the neat sewing and crafts, and the lolz, but the idea that our "imperfections" are the brush strokes of our bodies really hit me where I lived. I love that.
