1929 Spanish Living Room Makeover (From Start to Finish) *Collected & Cozy*

Hello everybody welcome back to my channel Drew here from Lone Fox first thing I want to say in this video is just a humongous thank you to each and every one of you for the support on my new rug and pillow collection with June looy and I just so excited to have this collection out in the world I have been wanting to use it for so long we've been working on it for literally 3 years all three of the tapestry inspired pieces from The Collection sold out like so quickly you guys and it is crazy cuz we had so much stock this was one of my favorite items so I knew we needed a bunch of this and we've already placed a reorder but the sucky thing is that the reorder is going to take a while to get manufactured and get it all the way over here from where it's being manufactured I read every single comment on my last video and it was just so heartwarming to read all of your guys' support and just love across the collection and so many of you guys were talking about how the price point is incredible quality looks incredible based off what I was showing in the video and once you get it in your hands you're going to see that the quality of this collection compared to the price point it doesn't seem like it should be like it is because theice price point so great for the quality that you get I'm just so proud of this collection but today we are working on the downstairs Lobby room and I have to give just a little tiny bit of a backstory on this space because it's actually one of the first rooms I designed in this house if you've been following along on the Journey of my house renovation you would know that I actually purchased a duplex so this is a 1929 Spanish duplex and they're stacked unit so they're mirrored floor plans meaning the exact upper unit is the same as the lower unit which essentially means that there's two living rooms room there's also two kitchens there's two breakfast nooks there's two of everything so I call the lower living room the lobby as opposed to just calling it the lower living room and that's because I really wanted this space to kind of feel like a hotel lobby like when you walk in I want there to be really inviting seating I want there to be kind of like a little bar area I wanted to feel sort of like hotel in a sense and I feel like we were really able to achieve that with the first design I did of the lobby space but shortly after I ended up getting my dog and we just ended up not spending as much time downstairs like they were honestly like weeks and weeks of time where we wouldn't even go in the lobby room because it was like we were immediately going upstairs I was only keeping Winston upstairs or when we would take him down to go out he wasn't allowed to just like peruse the entire house if that makes sense which also meant that I wasn't really perusing the entire house either I was more so watching after him so I ended up taking some of my favorite Furniture pieces actually from the lobby that we loved sitting on and utilizing and bringing them up to the living room that we now sit in and use all the time and the lobby in return ended up turning into kind of like a storage space for my online furniture in case you did not know I have a website lone fox.com where I sell a ton of different things not only vintage like tons of home decor and little like trinky bits and Bobs but also vintage furniture and vintage home decor as well that shipped across the United States essentially things kind of got out of hand in the lobby area turned into essentially a storage unit and I am happy to say now that all of the pieces have made their way out of the lobby room and into into my showroom space which I've been sharing the transformation of on my channel over the past probably like 2 months or so it's been a little slow moving process but that's because we have a lot of things in the works at the moment we are starting somewhere with this room but honestly it's kind of like a blank slate so why don't we go ahead and dive on in to the lobby transformation we're trying some rugs out in this Space Foundation to any room and any space I ever do we start off with a rug and I have a few large size rugs for my new collection with June looy which is so exciting and it just happens that I can finally use these in time for this makeover which is great and I have a few different 9 by 12s and to be honest with you guys I kind of wish I had a little bit of a larger one here but I wasn't planning on doing this makeover and I'm kind of doing it impromptu and want to get it up on Sunday so I don't have time to order a large size even though they are very very budget friendly in case you didn't see the launch video I came out with 21 different rugs with June looy and the price point of them um the quality is just honestly so incredible we worked on this collection for 3 years you guys and it is just amazing the size of rug you can get for the price point I personally think from our collection so definitely check it out this is the home be on the ground right now which is a fan favorite and definitely one of mine too I love how it has such like almost a bouay kind of nby super super textural but this one has like a really light faint sort of geometric print on top it also feels so so nice like just underf foot Baldwin rug is such a perfect neutral rug and it's so thick it's like tufted 100% wool rugs are a two person well these two or more yeah two more more large rugs like this at least there we go what do we think here's the Baldwin rug now I need to settle just a little bit cuz it's been rolled up I love this one it is so great I feel like this is perfect for like a bedroom it's really squishy and cozy it's warm but it's not too warm um and it kind of still complement cool tones as well so it's just a really nice simple rug that adds some pattern and you guys know me I always have to have a moody kind of dark option cuz it has so many cute little kind of like hidden motifs in it you'll see when I unroll it here is our you can go back to Rita rug okay this is a don't come for me and RTO rug inspired by Lana Del re but it's actually just the RTO rug I love this the colors in this rug I'll get a little closeup for you guys because the angle I'm at there's little Papyrus leaves there's kind of like a traditional tree Motif and we have birds as well there's so much interest in this rug I wanted to give you a little bit of a better look because I felt like the colors were not showing that well look how pretty the tones are in here they're like muted we have Red Olive there's like Amber tones throughout this little edge here it almost kind of reads as like a banner which I've always thought that was so cool as well so just so many little motifs that I really really like in this rug and the color palette overall so nice here are a few Furniture pieces that are also going to be making their way into this room I do have the luxury of choosing between a few since I have them on hand I honestly I kind of want to go with this I feel like it's neutral and we can add a lot of color to it love the texture too so I think the texture will be a nice base for us to start with and yeah why don't we go with the home be let's just turn it so we can show them you know here is the sofa it's really cool it's like a really rich leather and it's like a mahogany leather it's actually one of the first vintage pieces I ever sourced my online store and I never got around to shooting it it kind of has has like really distressed casual feel to it which I love and I also like the mid-century Vibe of this sofa I love this and I think it's going to be really pretty I also love the leg height and how it kind of flares a little bit so if you are curious there's actually a love seat version of this on my website and the love seat's even better so I think it's going to go here I'm going to do like a little fireplace flanking Vibe taking two chairs across from the sofa kind of already brain s this out in my head I just don't know exactly where we're going from a coffee table two chairs and a sofa I actually had this set of chairs available on my site for a while but they just never sold and I've had them here and so I was like you know what I'm going to keep them so that's what we're doing and that's kind of the nice perk of selling furniture sometimes and I kind of think I want to like have them a little more out and flanking because I have an idea for in front of the window there's still a lot of space over here let me share with you how much open space we have but as you can see we have quite a bit of space over here still like we have a good amount Justin's over there on the other side but I have an idea for maybe utilizing this little table that I got and putting it in front of the window making a little moment out of it here is a coffee table that I feel like could be a really actually nice size I made this or I kind of thrift flipped it I thrifted it and then redid it here's how she started off looking and I decided that I didn't like the way the pink tone of the wood went with the kind of odd travertine esque looking tiles so I popped those out stained the outside frame of this entire coffee table a dark Gel Stain finish and I love how it ended up looking actually it's so beautiful rich and warm and I got these dowels that I actually cut into a ton of different little wood tile slices this is what I called them and glued them down into new panels that I actually created for the coffee table stained them the same exact color way glued them in and that is how I made this table I kind of want to use the rug to ground our seating area and then create different sections using other Furniture pieces that are going to live off the rug which I'm totally fine with cuz I love the floors in here I paid a lot of money to have them redone very nicely so might as well show them off I don't think everything needs to be covered up with the rug at all times I have this really great table and the lady I bought this from actually told me it used to be in a Vogue editor's house and she bought it from an estate sale I don't know which Vogue editor it was uh but it has these really cool chunky legs and it's like a a humongous butcher block top and it's just a really unique random size maybe some little chairs like a game table I had a little game table in here before and we actually use it a lot so I think this could be really cute if you recall the First Makeover of the lobby I put my huge tapestry here and it actually didn't fit on the wall the tapestry we used to create the Holly hwk tapestry in my collection with June leoy it never really fit here because it was just too long there was about a foot and a half that actually went on the floor from the top cuz it's massive in size so I am going to one of the tapestries from my collection I'm also so proud of this product you guys are loving it so much too it's actually sold out in the largest size and the medium size the only size left is a small and I just want to share with you this this is the small um size and this is a rug this is considered to be a rug but we made it look exactly like a tapestry it genuinely you guys looks like a woven tapestry it is so so stunning it's the mediumsized Holly Hawk I'll pop the proper size up on the screen for you oh it's upside down hopefully it's not too big for the wall I don't think it will be you're not going to believe how easy these are to put up as well all you need is a you picture hanging nails and a hammer and you are good it's weighted but it's not overly heavy so when you hold it up and you're not like oh my gosh how this is going to fall off the wall it definitely won't look how tiny those little nails are they're like little picture hanging Nails these are what I'm going to use to hang the tapestry I'm just going to do probably probably four across the top because this one is a larger one this is a perfect size yeah this is what we want I think my lovees are showing real friends tuck each other's lovees just got to hide my love he's really fast tapest trees up and I have a Furniture piece behind me it's the most stunning piece of furniture I've ever seen in my entire life and it's a Facebook Market Place find you guys know me in my Facebook Marketplace finds I'm always searching I actually just did a video on all my tips and tricks so if you want to know how I find lots of Facebook finds I will pop the video right up here I shared a lot of honestly Insider tips on what I do um not that it's like anything crazy but it is going to give you some insight and look at this cabinet look at this freaking cabinet are you kidding me this is an early 19th century French aroa and I found this and the lady basically said that her grandma was moving into the house with her and that she had a lot of furniture she actually brought this over from France in the ' 50s her grandma I believe was 99 she said and I've had this over at my showroom for probably like a month now and I have wanted to keep it as a personal piece I was in a billion a% sure what I was going to do with it at first but once I saw it in person I knew I had to have it and I knew it was going to fit perfectly on this wall this is not going upstairs because this was the biggest like hassle to get in this house you guys this is massive want to sh with you the inside because the inside's freaking stunning too there's a printer at the bottom can you see the inside kind of thinking of turning this into like our little bar area because the doors actually function so nice this used to be the lobby Lounge we used to have our little bar over here if you recall and so I thought reintroducing that over here on like a close off space I think it's going to be perfect so I'm really really excited to have this bar cabinets love love this armo I could not love it anymore like the simple design of it but then the little details has this little like almost art cutout detail on the top and the molding it's just so perfect this looks good I love the curvy arm basket woven kind of seat is so great this is a piece actually available on the site and I think I'm going to probably leave this on the site because it's kind of just floating over here so if you're interested check it out this is from 1920 believe it or not can you believe that such a cool design good morning and welcome to day two of the little living room makeover in the lobby before I actually had this really really great tree and I ended up killing it but don't worry because I revived it cuz I was honestly taking such bad care of it after the space started turning into a storage space I ended up transferring it outside and it's just been living outside for a while and it's fully revitalized so I'm going to bring it back inside and I plan to take much better care of it so let's bring her in and I think I'm going to put it actually in this corner here coming through coming through with large tree she's made her way back inside last time she was in here she had four leaves here's our furniture positioning and it actually feels really nice I think it's cozy you can put your feet up if you'd like you can sit over here I'm actually going to put a piece of art over the top of this Niche because I've never liked it too much when it comes to styling the mantle it's hard to style with just this Central Niche here so I want to add a piece of art and then add a couple things across got this one at a flea market a long time ago and I thought the colors would be nice it's actually always lived in this room I just got this little ad do mané style actually I think it is actual ad do mané I'm probably saying that wrong but I love this it's a little rope candle holder I got it on Marketplace from this guy that I think I don't know he like buys a lot of stuff from France and brings it over anywho I have these really stunning candlesticks that have little painted flowers on them and I thought this would look so nice next to the art who remembers when I got this fireplace screen for 20 bucks flea market it is so good I love the color of this and I always just pop this here because when the fireplace is not in use I think this just adds such a cool little spanishyo painting as well which is incredible the colors in this are just so good so I might coffee table time let's see like this tray oh we need a chess board love I always have this marble Chess board it's from Amazon actually and it's always just such a nice little piece to have size I like this pretty we can add some flowers in there I don't know what color the guil with the ornate and I was like what if we oh I like the Dark Art what if we hang this here I like that too or we have this mirror you guys we have this mirror I like the mirror just like a smear and I thought that these would just kind of accent our chairs nicely and I love the darkness so I'm just going to pop those in the chairs and I feel like the color is really great along with my collection with June looy we also came out with a bunch of different throw pillows these are two of them but there are so many different textural ones printed ones different sizes options so I love those and you can get the cover or add the fill if you'd like I also added a chair over by the tapestry added some books on top of that and a candle from Odin lore which is McKenna's candle line which I love this one this living room is a challenge to film and the sun just blares in like afternoon through this window so it's very back lit however this area I'm very excited to style this because we have this builtin which is part of the original architecture of the home I have the big huge armwall right here it has to also house the internet and our router so like that's what's on here currently this little black box down here and then this white one up here I'm literally going to leave them as is and I'm going to just cover up the cords here with a basket kind of make those almost blend in and act as little Decor elements even though they're definitely not but we're going to play tricks on the eyes if you will so I have some ideas I pulled a bunch of things I love right now being this big basket of firewood which a lot of you might recall from my Christmas setup I did over here my fireplaces are not actual wood burning fireplaces but um I got a bunch of firewood and put it in this basket and I kind of think it's just cute I don't have a purpose for anything in this basket so I might as well just leave those in there I like the vibe and texture it adds as well and this here this is a plint like a kind of like railroad tie style little plinth base and I got this at Olive atier a long time ago one of my probably oldest pieces from them I love it though I love it so much it's so heavy we brought it over here and it ended up just kind of like sitting in this spot and not moving and I kind of visually like it here so I left it here to see if maybe we can style and create a little moment out of this area this is looking so good I love the way this looks these look really nice ni I put a couple packs of Trader Joe's tulips that I just picked up in my favorite vase this is a target vase I got a super long time time ago it was it's actually a candle hurricane that's what it was sold as I actually have this bowl that I got at Goodwill for n bucks and we're just going to put that price tag in the back for a minute just to see because I popped it on there earlier and I thought it looked quite cute with a large table in front of the window I added these really stunning chairs and funny story of these chairs actually is someone messaged Justin and said that they won an auction but didn't realize it was in Los Angeles and lived across the country and couldn't pick them up so they asked if we wanted them instead and I got them I love them they're so cool I love the texture of them and the bent leg so I'm adding them at the table I've been seeing a lot of designers doing this really Chic concept of hanging art and mirrors over the top of curtains I'm sure it's been done a lot in the past recently I feel like I've been seeing a lot of it and I love the idea so I have this mirror I recently picked up and thought it would look so nice just hanging here and honestly you guys we never open and close these curtains like might as well just hang this over the top I'm literally going to just hang it from I think the curtain ring itself this is a pretty lightweight mirror as you can see it's an old Italian Roco style mirror and it's so cool has such a great patina to it and I think it's going to look nice over this going to use this here your hanging wire going to wrap it a few times here then we can look at that hanging wire is super strong it's meant to hold like large for my art so this will definitely hold I'm trying to trying to show you can they see it all a little okay while I'm up here I will be adjusting these curtains to look beautiful what do you guys think oh my gosh looks so cute it's like a perfect tie actually and with a couple more finishing touches it is time for me to reveal the new Lobby space with you which I am so obsessed with I love how this turned out it is so warm so cozy so inviting and here it is is
