Giving my Bedroom a HUGE Vintage Makeover! + Organization
Hello everyone and happy Monday! The video spam continues as I try to offload files from my poor computer. Last week I edited a whopping six videos...which is like, six more than usual.
Anyway! This is the oldest video that was lurking on my computer. It's also the weirdest. Or the farthest from being sewing related. But it was one I was incredibly excited to film, since room makeovers and declutter videos are some of my favorites to watch late at night when I should be sleeping.
This all began because I hated, and I do mean HATED my bedroom. The furniture, the lack of storage, it was so not my style and I despised it. Especially compared to my sewing room, which is a space I had a lot more control over and absolutely adore.
Then I found a Victorian inspired bedroom set on ebay for $250 and after a lot of consideration I bought it. I rented a UHaul (didn't have my drivers license at this point so my dad drove) and off we went to pick it up! It's a sturdy set from the 1970s and looks like full sized doll furniture. I love is so much.
Now my room is a bit more...crowded than most people would probably like, with lots of prints on the walls, and coat racks overflowing with hats. But I think it's cozy and wonderful. And I'm a million times happier with it than my old room.
(even if it looks like an antique store exploded on it)
Also that outfit in the beginning! And all the modern looking shoes I was organizing! My wardrobe has changed just as much as this space.
Again, I apologize for the lack of sewing content but I hope some of you enjoy this!
Like I said last week, more costume content is coming SOON! I just can't film voice overs right now so I'm stuck with editing more casual videos (like my figurine haul, and vlogs) until later this week.

Have you thought of buying a shoe organizer that hangs on the back of your bedroom door? Lots of space to hold shoes, and it frees up more closet space.
This was super inspiring ! I have the strong urge to replace all my furniture in my room 😵 I’m so excited to see a sewing room tour !
Absolutely adorable - and a lot of fun to watch. Can’t imagine, anyone wouldn’t enjoy these type of videos. You really did a lot with the small space available to you. It wouldn’t have occurred to me, to put heavy furniture in such a small room, but the end result is fabulous.
Thank you! I was so worried about the furniture being overpowering or too big and having to resell it right after buying it. But It all worked out and I couldn't be more glad!
Can I live in your "Before" bedroom? That bed is lovely and my favorite color is red, so your bedding is right up my alley. LOL!
The bed is lovely in theory - but oh boy was it a mess. Up close it had giant dents, the baseboards were dirty and the paint was matte and impossible to clean. It literally fell apart at one point and was held up by books for MONTHS until my dad installed L brackets. Plus it was cream colored not white, so matching furniture was impossible to find! I did love the bedding though, if I ever have a twin bed that quilt will be on it!
Can you do an american duchess shoe collection video? I'm super curious to see which ones you own :)
I second this!
Wow, what a transformation!! I also love room makeover videos, so I'm glad you made this one. Regarding what you say in the patreon post, that your wardrobe has evolved a lot alongside the room, would you consider doing a style evolution video one day? Of course, not when you're already editing half a dozen videos, but, you know, if at one point you're wondering what to film next ;) I love how the final room turned out, I think it looks lovely and very on brand (THOSE LAMPS OMG, so satisfying to see the before/after on those too). I echo everyone else who said the dark lipstick looks amazing, and I also love your top and hat in the final clip!!
I think a style evolution video would be really interesting, but I don't have many photos of myself out of costume, so it would be hard to do. However I have saved some of my old clothing and want to do a video showing the vintage inspired equivalents I wear now, which is a similar concept! And I'm ALWAYS open to video ideas! I want to do more wardrobe content I'm just awful at ideas. Thank you! They lamps are pretty much my favorite thing ever.
I am with you Angela-I love organization. I work from my home as well and trying to keep supplies organized without boxes everywhere is something else!!! I hate boxes!!!! Working on getting some of my own house in organization. Sometimes when you see the rooms you just want to close the door because it looks like so much to tackle!!!! Great job!!!! Good shopping. Love it Gena
Aw I'm the opposite , I LOVE boxes! Not for fabric, but for everything else. Especially the cute floral ones from Michaels. Good luck with your organizing!
I absolutely love the new room. Lots of work but it worth it ! So many, so many shoes^^
I love the furniture you have in your bedroom the contrast of the dark and light is beautiful!
Bring back the darker lipstick you wore in the beginning, it looks beautiful on you! Also, you may be in need of a shoe intervention.
I absolutley love your look in the beginning of the video. Gorgeous.
