APARTMENT MAKEOVER for Gabriel Zamora + DIY Dalmatian Wall // Lone Fox

Hello! Ooh, juice! And fur! This is vitamin C, right? Vitamin C. She can make vitamin C. Hi everyone, welcome to my Latina home. Today, we are redoing one of Gabriel's walls, which I don't even know. I normally do rooms. You're helping me pick my table, but you're helping me create the main focal point of this entire, I feel like, apartment. Yeah. I feel like everything is gonna be here. So when you walk into Gabriel's apartment, and it's so nice and pretty by the way, when you walk inside, we're redoing this entire wall here where Gabriel's really just low. We're gonna be doing this entire section of the wall, and we have so many fun ideas. We ordered two huge bookcases. There's gonna be a lot of shelf styling in this video. Gabbie also really, really wanted like a Dalmatian printed wall, which I love that idea so much. We looked for wallpaper. So expensive. It was literally like $800 for this wall. Like rent. Yeah, rent basically. And so we were like, let's just DIY our own wallpaper. We ordered a stencil, which I'm going to link below and tell you guys, and we're gonna paint it on. So we're gonna see how that goes. That's what we are doing today. DIY in the house. DIY in the house. And then we're going to basically be styling the whole wall, making it look so good, adding a dining table, all that fun stuff. And just redoing this dining section. So, I love that you're still holding the plant. It's my best friend. Yeah. So I'm currently at Target with Gabriel. Hi everyone. Hi everyone. And we're trying to get black paint here. Oh, look at this. A little metallic coal. Because we're doing this stenciled wall, which you guys are probably gonna see in a little bit. Foam daubers. Like, Target came through with the foam daubers. Yeah. Daube the house. We didn't know if we wanted like a roller, or like a paintbrush. Or like our hands. But a dauber's good. So basically right now at Target, we're just gonna try to get some paint, some daubers, and some tape, and maybe some shelf decor. So, I'll keep you updated. Like, I have to have Latina type of decor. I think that would actually be great for the shelf. Like, imagine this like... It has makeup in it. Oh, yeah. But imagine this on a Dalmatian wall. I mean, I don't think you actually need it, but... I don't need it, but I want it. Yeah. So far, so good. We found a couple of, like, shelf items. And, um, I thought maybe Gabriel, you would want this. An artichoke for the shelf. Oh! Oh, you already have one. Going to turn these little, like, wall decors into shelf decors. And just, like, have them sitting, you know? We successfully got some shelf stuff, and our black paint, and all of our Dalmatian supplies. Yay! Oh, the wall is so different with us. It really is. So, like I mentioned, we ordered a stencil online. And this is from Cutting Edge Stencils. I thought we ordered it on Etsy. Didn't we order this on Etsy? Yeah. Yeah, but, um, I'm going to link this one below in case you guys want one that's very similar. This is a Dalmatian stencil, and it's actually very large. Like, this is, like, a good three feet by, like, one and a half, two feet. Like, maybe even two by four. I don't even know. It's really, really large. Lots of Dalmatian spots. And we're basically going to be painting them black on that wall to create our very own accent wall, similar to this one right here. And the nice thing is that it actually also comes with an edge piece and, like, a corner piece. So, they really thought this out. Um, and we are going to attempt to, or we are going to attempt, we are going to be putting this on the wall and making it so accented and fun. So, I guess we found out that candles change the color of your wall. Yeah. So, don't forget that a candle connects to your white wall. Yeah. The other supplies that we got are just some blue painter's tape, these little foam daubers that I found at Target, and then some of the Magnolia Home chalk style paint in the color Blackboard, which is just a dark black, and it's going to be matte, which is going to kind of add a fun finish to the Dalmatian wall. It helps me build everything. It helped me build the shelves, which you will see later on. And I want to say in, like, a minute and a half of an Emma Chamberlain video. Like, I saw a full one and then a half of one, and I built an entire shelf. And they were done. Complete. Wow. It literally will save your life. I understand that, like, screwdrivers and, like, fly head screwdrivers are cheaper. Absolutely not. Absolutely. But this is so much easier and faster. Yeah. Just letting you know. So, we're going to be taking off the covers for the little, um, light switches and, like, the plug outlet so that way when we put our Dalmatian print on, we have a smooth finish. It can go underneath as well. Hi, everyone! Okay, guys. So, I loaded this foam roller that we got from the paint store. And apparently, you're supposed to kind of, like, just blot off the excess. Like, lightly blot it off. Like that. And then we're going to go to the wall. So, here's our sunsalt. Should I start? Yeah, why not? Are you scared? It's not going in there. It's only going down there. I think you need more paint. Do you think? Yeah. Oh, wait, no. I think you just need to press harder. Oh, yeah. Definitely just need to press harder. Wow, we are so professional. But, see, like, is this too light? No, that looks so good. This looks so good. Okay, I live. So, guys, this is our first little test patch here. It actually looks really great. The only thing I noticed is that the edges did bleed. Like, I don't know if you can see, this is supposed to be a perfectly clean edge. They did bleed a little bit, but it looks totally fine for this pattern because it actually adds to the Dalmatian effect. It actually looks even better than a clean pattern, I think. Do you think it's the paint, Maisie? I don't know. So good. So, we basically have this bottom section here and this whole top section here, and this has taken us, like, two hours. Kind of time-consuming, but inexpensive, so we love that. So, we're just going to continue on with creating the Dalmatian print. So, it is about two weeks later. So, kind of a long time away. It's like 18 weeks later, I think. Gabi and I were both pretty busy after we finished the Dalmatian print wall, guys, which, by the way, it is completely done, and today we are finishing it, adding the bookcases that we ordered, and then also adding the dining table and all the decor that we've been shopping for. Oh, Gabi's hair's different, too. Oh, yeah, blonde, but really good and fresh. Today, we're going to be finishing the wall space over here and just adding all the decorations and finishing it up and then having the grand reveal for you guys. So, I think you're going to really like it, and I can't wait to see what it turns out to look like. I think it's going to look so good once it's all complete. This is the bookshelf that we ordered, you guys. It is Where's this from again? Amazon? Amazon. Amazon bookshelf. It looks like this. So nice, and we actually got two of them. The other one's over there. Gabi also ordered this faux plant, and where was this from? This one was from Wayfair. It's so good, though. It actually looks, like, completely real. Like, look at all these little details in there. Like, do I look like an island girl? It's like a music video shoot. Oh my gosh, and then this table here, too, which this is from. Isn't this from Wayfair as well? This is from Wayfair as well. Gabi just needed, like, a smallish table because the bookshelves are going to go here, which means that the wall is going to kind of extend to this area here. So, he just wanted something here to kind of act as, like, an island slash dining table, right? Yeah. Which this fit perfectly in the space, and it kind of coordinates back to these dark woods, and then the light wood is going to be on this sort of feature wall area here, and I also never showed you guys the finished wall. This is the finished Dalmatian print wall using that stencil. Looks so good. It took us kind of a while. Honestly, it was, like, how much- this cost, like, $40, $50 to do. 10% of the price, and if you, like, made little errors or anything, it was- Yeah, it just kind of adds to the- It adds to the effect. It adds to the effect of it. You can't even really tell because there's so many dots everywhere. Yeah, looks so good. Oh, she's working from home today. Oh! So, yesterday, Gabi and I, and James also, went to HomeGoods. I'm in HomeGoods with Gabi in the house and James and Elden and myself, of course, and we're looking for some shelf decor now because we need a little bit of stuff to put on these shelves that are now built in the apartment. There's a lot of Easter stuff, though, which- we don't need any Easter stuff. We just need some- Oh, this is, like, a nice little basket moment. Found a couple options. James found this camera. It's really cool. The box, and then a plant. I have a professional designer in case you didn't notice. No, you're not. Oh, this is, like, a nice little pot. And this one, too. So we ended up grabbing all these very aesthetic options. A tulip for the table. This- look how good this is on this, like- it's a brass test tube plant holder. This is how long you have to make me. Fill in the blank. We also found this horn, which is definitely broken off of something, so we're hoping that they give it to us or sell it to us. So we'll see. And we bought some shelf decor. I think we also got some of this at Target at the beginning of the vlog, but Gabi already had kind of a lot of plants, and then we got this faux plant here, tons of candles because Gabi loves a good candle. Camera box, a terrarium, a clock, um, what's this called? An hourglass? The wall is complete, the shelves are in place, and let's get to styling them, which is one of my favorite parts. I really love styling shelves because you can do so much, and it's kind of, like, just a fun game that you can go back and forth with and just kind of, like, step back, take a look, see what looks good, and then kind of replace things. So it's nothing that is too permanent, it's something that you can really change up and add to or take away from to just really, really make your space feel a lot more alive. So something that I like to do when I style shelves is put things in clusters and just kind of offset them. Creating clusters of visual interest, I think, looks a lot better than just having things sporadically placed across the shelves, so I like to put things in clusters, but then I also like to just mix it up per shelf space, so just kind of take a step back every time you add things to the shelf and kind of look and just see what you like about the space. And I just put things in clusters on the left side, on the right side, I like to do groups of odd numbers, sometimes even numbers if it is larger items, it looks pretty good, but those are just a couple of tips that I wanted to give you guys when it comes to styling shelves. 🎵 Adding photos to the frames, and then we're gonna put some on. Sister Kim. Hi, Kim! Guys, the wall behind me is now complete. Oh, look, there's Gabi right over there. It was such a fun project to work on, and I really love the outcome of the Dalmatian wall, it was actually a lot easier than I anticipated, super affordable, and I'm gonna make sure to link those stencils below, and like the products that we used for that, along with any of the, um, decorations or bookcases or whatever it might be at the table in the description box below as well, in case you guys are curious to purchase any of those items, but it's time to show you, so let's just go into the montage. 🎵
