It wouldn’t be my first choice, yet I think it’s •very •creatively done. Especially if you enjoy rainbows 🌈 A good way to designate a space to do office work. 😎
My bedroom is my livingroom bedroom & excersise area renter i use kitchen bathroom when needed but stay mostly in that area
I’m a renter so I have to be careful and don’t want to put holes in the wall. My biggest area is my living room closet which is right by the door and need a relaxing but professional touch to make me want to work from home. I ‘d love to have a little bigger desk w/storage in closet for filing cabinet and rolling storage w/shelves both above computer and closet (NO Drilling)! Please help!! Thanks and have a very Blessed week. God Bless & Shalom
OH wow. I really need your input. I have a whole room that I would like to transform into a home office/ reading nook. And I want the nook to be in front of the window and the office area in the closet.
hello Like 6.3 B nice video I am Turkey
Loved everything about this design… Sad to say that my 11 mth old would put that backdrop right down😅
This is a breath of fresh air. Thank you Monica! 😊
Lol I think you meant protractor
I have a spare bedroom that we never use. Even when people come over, they usually sleep on our huge sectional couch we have. I want to turn that room into my art room:) anything art is my passion. I draw, paint and even make jewelry. I would love to see your ideas for art organization.. because I have A LOT lol I love your channel and hopefully you could help me with this!
Please please do more Weekender programs. Your ideas are amazing!
Amazing work ….i love it…tell me wall colours are water based or oil
I want to know how to make the turquoise fire mantle frame out you have? Beautiful
It gives me great anxiety every time I already see the After in the thumbnail or in the Weekender, right at the beginning of the video. I don’t know.
Hello I loved the transformation. I have a nook in my dining room that would be a great place to put a “desk” any ides on how to creatively mesh a desk/office space with dining room decor?
BTW I really enjoy your DIY videos 😊
the rainbow thingy… not pretty. Sorry.
I have. A spare smaller kitchen which is currently used as junking storage… I’d like to change that into a dual work space – one for my corporate work, while other for my blogging work.
built in storage for my circa 90’s home, converting that sitting room/2nd living room into a family friend zone for toys, games, hobbies. lastly dutch doors, inserting glass into front doors, and daybeds. diy patio furniture
Missed you Monica!!. I need help turning our non insulated sun room into a 4th bedroom with a second bathroom.
This is awesome and creative ❤
Love it!!
I am having issues with a 3rd bedroom. Initially it was for a gym, but now I need a space to work from home. The room has too much equipment and I have no idea how to feng shui or what to do.
5i5i
its not geography, its geometry.. lol.. 🤭
Wut da hell
Very creative
Monica you are so talented. I always feel inspired and empowered after watching your videos! Grateful to Lowe’s for sponsoring your creative projects 🤗
This was awesome. I loved the idea of using the closet racks for an office. We are planning on using that idea for a study/homework station under the stairs. We are remodeling our home. We have have open concept with kitchen to front door to living room all in one open space. What do we do with the space in front of the door? Not quite enough room for a dining room there?
thank you very much for uploading this video
{{{{{{{{ thumbs up;;;;;;;5K;;;;;;;;; }}}}}}}}}
looking forward to watch your next video…
Homeschooling our twins. I converted our kitchen nook, but I think I might need to take over the dining room eventually. The dining room is currently used for their virtual piano lessons. We rarely eat in there. Any homeschooling ideas?
Garage to art studio
great job love it
My bedroom is my craft room.
I’d love creative ways to use a kids bedroom during the day. It feels like such wasted space.
I’d much rather have a single large room that sleeps all my kids and somehow converts to a romp/school room during the day. Something like Murphy beds, etc.
Cute!
I love herrrr lol
wish we would have available in Romania these kind of accessories/items for DIY projects:)) we do have yarn i guess:) good job, it looks great!
how far apart did you put the rails?
Your back 👏👏👏👏 I missed you girl 🚜🤠🧑🌾🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 oh great idea
I thought I was the only one that REFUSES to iron cloths but irons art and DIY projects! Heck I barely willing to FOLD cloths 🙂
Monica, I love all of the Weekender episodes!! You are AWESOME!! I was hoping you could help me with an issue I am having. I don’t have a designated craft/office room. I have to share it with our laundry room which at times feels cramped and loud. Could you please help me create a space I can go to create projects, manage our finances, and do the laundry?
I loved this, it could be a standing desk too.
Really like the rainbow colours you chose
You are so awesome Monica! I love watching your videos and being inspired to work on my own spaces! I miss the Weekender series.
Please come to my house i love all your project
Monica. Great Video. Could you share the wall to floor border?
This is amazing! I would love to make a backdrop like you have but I live in the apartment where everything is sort of in one room and there is no place big enough to store a panel like your backdrop. I too am having to create a small office space in my living room which is separated from my kitchen only by an island… Very open space. I definitely got some pointers from this video that I will put to use. Thanks so much can’t wait to see what else you’re up to!
Love that back drop. That is so different.
