Small Room Makeover | Do It On A Dime & Robeson Design

hi I'm Rebecca Road Tsim with ropes and design and welcome back today I have a great video for you if you've been following my insta stories you know that I was recently in North Carolina helping out Katherine from do it on a dime we had the best time and today we're going to reveal her beautiful dining room to you hey guys my way to Charlotte North Carolina I'm gonna do [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] your direction three days you're gonna make a big difference are you ready I am so excited [Music] Catherine is an adorable youtuber this girl is so smart young family and she is showing people how to organize their homes and their closets and to do it in places like the dollar store if you do get Legos you will know how to store them because I watched that video so I've become this huge fan catherine has kind of an unusual home most the time you walk into a living room or an entry in her house there's a nice big entry but to walk right into the dining room Wow like around here was a living room no huh so that space was a high priority for her I gave her a chance pick any room in your house she picked her dining room well now it makes sense so what we want to do first is we want to rid the room of all art and accessories take everything off okay I just get to a clean slate and then we've got Matt here to help us actually move the furniture around and I'll show you a little trick on how to do that okay in our channels we are similar in that we deal with home decor when it comes to investing in a place I love the dollar store like I get so excited when I go in there but that doesn't mean that I only buy things that are a dollar only things that are two dollars because what are the places that's worth investing in right our home is a pair of great lamps amazing and something you want to have in your house like I want to know that stuff and how to do it in a way that's beautiful and timeless and awesome I feel like okay so we're good it's gonna be like the east meets west oh we actually are east and west you know the window treatments I would spend some money there rods I would spend money and the other biggest thing is lighting those kinds of things really elevate a space we've talked about what we're gonna do with the furniture I have found that putting a simple piece of cardboard underneath the legs of your furniture helps you move it heck turn you into Superman you definitely need electrician today if there's any way we can get one death might be close to a miracle this yeah is weird where that molding starts for the staircase this right here that's coming up on this wall so if this wall was white this will go away and also see your doorbell will be less noticeable to I'm trying to get that all the measurements we're going to need while we're shopping all right I'm going to take a picture of this to take as a color source reference I think as far as I'm concerned we're ready to go so this should be fun I'm excited I'm so intimidated this is really good I've been watching your channel for years and years and I absolutely love it so I was super starstruck when you came in so to go shopping with you [Applause] we do want window treat lets us go over here [Applause] both in here is 84 engine Catherine we've got some issues the one that we wanted they don't it's out of stock we'll keep looking in case there something yes that's your art that's beautiful also if the walls ended up going more the aqua color then this would look really good are we gonna do we gotta buy boats all right take em to em and see right now they have ten percent off your entire purchase that's the current people face I just got a Bed Bath & Beyond coupons [Music] that actually would fit in there better because it's square and look boys and girls it is cheaper like it was half the price we're are we doing good good [Music] so much fun and we're just like really only on day one no we have so far to go and there's a lot of things that have to fall into place it's gonna work out oh my gosh you know why please God it'll work anybody can make it work you can Rebecca well that's a dude let's hope so yeah let's see [Music] so I'm having my sweet tea the sweet tea she makes sure it again and this is a Southern tradition which is fried pickles we're halfway through day one oh my goodness is 4 o'clock we're way past halfway we need to go get some stuff done we need to get stuff done and we need to find things that are gonna be here on time we've only got three days to do this and we've we are ten thirty percent down almost thirty we are 20 percent down I'm not good with numbers so you are you figured out we got a gallery what's all right we're gonna go shopping bye [Music] an area rug is always gonna be if you get a decent one they're gonna be a little more pricey because it's kind of an investment piece [Music] thank you got how many stores can we go to to gather up one of this and one of that and one of this okay Center is different and the two outsides are the same it feels like a balanced symmetrical thing like you did it on purpose [Music] hello and we still don't have an electrician yeah I called all the references having a wardrobe malfunction my clothes are attacking me to go on top of the piano [Music] we need about three weeks not three days [Music] Katherine and I had a super successful day shopping today we're back all the dining room is prepped and ready for tomorrow and even a big surprise turns out Katherine's getting their entire house painted because the painter prepped all of it even though it's supposed to just do the dining room day two of our little project here in Charlotte North Carolina and I'm on my way to Catherine's house but first I happen to see this cute little interior design store I'm gonna see if they might have some week we can use on this project [Music] trendy pumpkins for the year 2018 you'll get her a little like housewarming I think this should be an accessory in my home because you know I am the glasses person I'm gonna buy right now as a gift [Music] [Applause] an electrician I come up and had you if I could but I know what I don't want you to fall off the ladder yeah it's down already it looks it feels better wherever you would like put it in your car yeah it's gonna look amazing Alexa which chair do you like better maybe I could make an app like that Rebecca what should I do with my window treatment like it every wrd app and we can have one for you too WW KD and i can tell you right now she'd use a coupon and she would shop a sale okay I can tell you already without even standing on that side we want it in the wheat color now we also talked about reupholstering these guys Catherine did such a great job on these DIYs if you want to see those videos you absolutely have to go and look at them on her channel go be a link in the description box below it's heavy tape measure whoo I'm really not good with stuff like that I trip always [Music] and that is a matter of like landscapes pictures of family you men do anything you can do anything you want right I mean a picture of me you know I wouldn't be a thing well child protective doors goodness my gravy right that's how you say it here in the South so what do you buy when you're here hey cards one of the many things that Catherine and I did together was take my first visit to the Dollar Tree store you know I should buy this for you actually it's let's get this one you're a really bad influence on me right now we are in the dollar store yeah and I can't take Rebecca anywhere cuz you take her in and look what she does she opens things up to create a beautiful display on the floor we also went antiquing interesting and it was so much fun Catherine actually has a couple videos on her channel if you haven't seen those especially if you're my viewers you've gotta go check out Catherine's channel subscribe a course and see the behind the scenes footage where we actually create some pretty great DIYs that we used in today's video but all of the bulbs ah all of them overachiever now that's not these right because these are things you screw in then he told me this is what it was no a regular light bulb so that's our agenda for tomorrow and then we will do the centerpiece thing together you'll do the chair upholstery to an amazing project new light fixtures and I think we're seeing things from a whole new vantage point to Cathy and Becky by the way we want to start our own new show new channels plus wine alright it's the last day that I do it on a dime install I was supposed to happen Catherine and I are here today's the third day the final day of this three-day makeover they're doing the final coat of paint on the ceiling with our new lights I'm so proud of you for doing that letting us put lights in the ceiling and we're gonna go do some final shopping just a few little things and then when we get back the magic is going to happen so today's the day [Music] [Applause] Rebecca do you have the key or do I have the key I don't know I think you took it you know we haven't even gotten started yet and we've already lost the keys it's always in the cupholder or in your back pocket yeah or next to your coffee or in the pocket of this sweater you wore yesterday all right whoa if you did something that in your entry and then have a cute little bench under their chair but that's really pretty we know where your light fixture that we just took down and yeah right here for the four tall ceilings I think it's pretty cool and it just so happens as God would have it it's the exact amount of money five hundred and eighty two dollars and I just said well as I see it we got six hundred dollars has been alrighty not even put makeup on this morning what you see here what there is on it's from yesterday just a little [Music] you're adorable good needs ten ten okay total ten total got it [Music] parking this car with french-fried hands seems like nada not a great situation don't we stop over there the other day oh wow oh god you're up look how great that is what you're talking about I need you to piss in every room of my house but welcome to the design session [Music] we love it I always take this off but it is very valuable information kind of keeps you from bringing your house down it says not to use more than 40 watts but this is what I do once I take it off I mount it to the bottom of the lamp so that I can always try to see what kind of bulb should I put in here I think this wall is looking good I really love the fact that it's white love the clock but one thing that really stands out to me is this doorbell I got some spray paint so that it's not as noticeable and you're teaching me that these little details really make a big difference that's the kind of stuff I teach on the design sessions do you remember how when we went to buy these they didn't have enough of the long length and I love this length because it just it goes to the ceiling it just dust the floor we bought one pan or shorter so now is when we're gonna put that second panel on I'll show you why see see this is the short one it's high waters but guess what it goes behind there [Music] [Music] my gosh [Music] this completely I think elevated the space I would have never done something like this and I love it you mean you would have never done a an area rug I would have never done one this big the size of this rug it was hard to find there was blood sweat and tears I'm dividing this rug we have enough space that someone could very comfortably pull their chair out and back in again and look they their chair never goes off the rug we added two chairs they can be pulled in for entertaining you can you know seat more people but it brought in a whole nother like a finish wood finish element color is great and it gave us something to put on either side of that chest from you is sight line to not have something completely blocking what's beautiful behind it especially if you have windows because I probably would have gotten a drum shade or something like that here I love having my piano here and the fact that you were able to work with it because it's really sentimental and important to me it sure can you play I do and I want to hear you it's aiways we're going to show you the before picture of this wall and what I want you to pay attention to is the walls used to be a buttery gold color so by painting this all the same color now that fades and goes away and is not an issue so initially I saw this and thought this is such an investment I don't know Rebecca should we do this we saved in some areas and the money that we saved up and budgeted for this we spent in really wise ways and this is such a timeless look every time this is the first thing you see when you walk in the house it should be beautiful she actually bought these thinking but will use them for the video and a big pile of ugly I buy them I like how you gonna do a wide actually I'll buy frames I'm like you're gonna buy 18 frames and put 18 piece of the marriage now food isn't good water this is my favorite wall I say yours as well yeah because which she already had I already had actually got it on sale and we paid $35 for this and the way you've lit this Rebecca looks like I spent a thousand but the best part get this yes that made a huge difference and you had turquoise probably polyester they weren't really silk but they look like soap yeah window treatments and it was only one panel big difference so you gotta know what to do win and the windows look bigger so more of the window is covered you know it's not like that sometimes you do a gala the biggest surprise was this completely I mean I just remember like five minutes before we got out of the car at Habitat for Humanity saying well maybe we'll find something that we could replace that little mini cabinet in your entryway and we also talked about how we had saved six hundred dollars on something uh-huh we walk in we see this piece and it was five hundred and eighty dollars the best part about this was that we did this all the stuff I already own in just a couple of pieces that we picked up very on a budget when we were out shopping I'm hoping that what we did this week and what you're gonna do going forward it's going to help you to take all this kind of stuff and actually apply it to the rest of your house exactly and learn the principles so I can do it we're talking about the design sessions where you learn the principles from her website exactly what you were supposed to do yeah I can do this in other areas in my house which Rebecca's here we've already been kind of tinkering through and starting so yeah I'm really excited about I don't have to tell them where I'm hurting up until 11 p.m. making sure that this all came together yeah I need to tell you that [Music] we pretty much did a transformational miracle miracle and paydays this was done in three days getting everything installed the entire thing this is no easy feat it gives me an appreciation for when you do install so what goes on behind the scenes okay it is it is a lot but this is so worth it I feel like I have a grown up space and we got you and I helped us create this room and it's so beautiful and I felt empowered to be able to go and [Music] go checkout do it on a dime cuz I'm telling you what this girl's story of how she started she had these little kids she stayed at home didn't have any money but she wanted to organize her house because there's just so many things you need as a mom but instead of just doing it like going to where I would go to which is that Container Store or hold it or something like that he did it at the Dollar Tree and actually we've got some amazing hilarious videos that are on your channel so you guys please go and check out do it on a dime Catherine is gonna you upload a couple times a week right huh yep how does she do that with young children I don't know so don't do you think this is a great collaboration leave us a comment below and let us know did you enjoy the journey because some day you know who could show up at your doorstep hey Becky's here oh if we didn't have people running after us to give us the things that we just bought you like vintage saucers yeah this okay
