  • i think staircase of black metal with ornament would look more fit for this design :)

  • @TheGenesisarcanum You are so funny... Remember this was 5 days before install. You must not follow my channel if you think the cheap metal railing shown in this vide was the final railing.., Thats funny! I expect to have the reveal video of this project up soon. Check back... I think you will be pleasantly surprised with the hand forged, custom designed, wrought iron railing you see in the final reveal :-).. thats so funny......

    RR

  • Probably one of my favorite designs so far. I caught a glimpse of the staircase and railing in the other video, stunning!

  • OMG I can't wait to see the completed project. You are incredibly talented.

  • When can we expect to see the reveal? I can hardly wait to see it.

  • Hi @cherryester , I have been waiting for the final details to be completed and professional photos to be taken before I make a video of this project.... Should be in a couple of weeks. Meanwhile... keep your eyes open for 3 new video uploads in the next 2 weeks :-) RR

  • I like seeing the project at this stage, can't wait for the final reveal.

  • you are an amazing interior designer! u r my role model!

  • One of the few things I am aspiring is to be an interior designer! I'm only 13 turning 14 soon. I pretty much am a mini interior designer in my house for my family and I, the only thing, is I dont get paid LOL. I have a singing channel Rebecca:) I want you to check it out and look at my latest vid... because.. I luv ya ! -Cai

  • how much did it cost for this house remodeling? PLEASE ANSWER!!!!

  • I absolutely love all of your videos Rebecca! Thank you so much for sharing your talent and hard work with us through these videos. As a recent college graduate with a degree in interior design I can only hope to one day be as successful as you. You are such an inspiration and a wonderful role model. It's so nice to go behind the scenes of a real install with real clients. Keep up the fantastic work, there are so many of us out here who appreciate and love every minute of it.

  • p.s you really should have your own channel on regular T.V...some of the crud that is on HGTV now..

  • wow! I would think I was in heaven if I had that many drawers in my kitchen!! I love the extra storage space in the columns, etc. Genius to not waste those spaces.. Can't wait to see the results!

  • What paint color was used on the kitchen cabinets?. Your designs are beautiful. Cant wait to see the finished results. Thank you for giving us all inspiration for our own homes.

  • omy god! Rebecca ! I'm a 14 year old girl and you're my role model! i swear i will support you until I die!!! Love you so much!

  • Can't wait!

  • I'm looking forward to seeing the completed project!

  • Thank you for replying! This really made my day=) you are so inspirational and deserve your own show on hgtv

  • I thought you said that this was going to be done in give days. I've been waiting patiently=(

  • @vblock61 LOL.. Its done ... Thank you for waiting... patiently :-) The project turned out FABULOUS! The clients were thrilled! I have 30 Gigabits of footage that needs to be sifted through and am thinking I will have the home professionally photographed. I want to produce a killer video of the project but this all takes time. Be patient a little longer and you will be blown away by the end results! I PROMISE! Thanks for keeping an eye out! Appreciate it! RR

  • AMAZING!!! Can't wait to see the completed project. Thanks so much for sharing.

  • Oh m geee so many awesome ideas! i love behind the scenes stuff!!!! lol

  • luv it.  great ideas thanks so much!

  • Beautiful. Please suggest resources for learning the "ghost coated" oak to espresso technique. This is what I need to update and tie in some wood work in my house. Thank you.

  • Love your work

  • can't wait to see the amazingness! love your videos, rebecca!

  • Gorgeous work, super stylish and beautiful!!!

    Loving it!

  • Girl your on fire !!!!

    This is crazy good

  • I really cant wait to get into my new home and start working on it again. I recently divorced and my children and I are ready for something fresh and new. I have been using your older videos for ideas and trying to duplicate them on the cheap (single mom and all of that) and reuse what I can from our old stuff by making slip covers etc. Just a HUGE thank you for putting your knowledge and your expertise here on YouTube for people like me! xx

  • @KatieB480 That's awesome! More Power To You! I hope our regularly uploaded videos continue to bring you much inspiration as you continue on this journey. Make it fun....Your children are watching!!! RR

  • I am so excited to see it completed! I am excited just to hear you talk about it! I love all of your ideas, especially the hidden storage! And that great tile that looks like wood! Is that something that is easily available in San Diego? I have loved every single room, decoration, idea that I have ever seen you come up with! My dream is to have you redesign my home!

  • cant wait to see the finished product! Its going to look great!

  • Hi @mspinklove40, They are pricey. I have 2 lives ;-) My real job as a high end professional Designer, and my YouTube world :-) In reality I work for people who have worked very hard to accomplish things in their lives and can afford my services as well as the recommendations I make. IT IS A LUXURY! On Youtube I try to mix it up with what I'm doing in my practice along with low cost design ideas aimed at the average person trying to make things better. This is a real project and yes, Pricey :-)

  • I'm not sure what you mean by "ghost coating" with lacquer. Is the lacquer colored to get the oak risers that beautiful espresso color? Thanks for always inspiring and introducing new techniques!

  • Oh how I can't wait to see the finished results!! I love so many of the details that you have already shown....the espresso tile, the mouldings, and the secret storage compartments!!! You designs are over the top wonderful :D

  • LOVE the espresso tile, that is really neat (wish the people who created my apartment had done that instead of the fake laminate wood that's in there, blegh!). Cool to see it at this stage, can't wait to see the finished product too!

  • I love your videos!

  • You are amazing!

  • You are one AMAZING woman!!!! Love your work!!

  • I can NOT wait to see the finished project!!!

  • beautiful design rebecca, i just love how you envision changes and have such a gift i love watching your reveals and hearing your designer perspective keep up the super awesome work <3

  • thanks for the cool vid and a look into your work =) love the column/hidden shelfing idea

  • This seems great!

    

  • I can already tell it's going to be gorgeous! When I am old enough to buy a house I want you to design it :)

  • Where's the "reaction" thingy???

  • Talent. <3 Hidden storage is an awesome idea!!

  • Thank you so much for linking to my channel!I really appreciate it! Glad you liked it! Good luck on the project! It's a gorgeous house. Idk how you can do this all the time. It was SO MUCH WORK!

  • I absolutely love what you've done! I'm a stickler for storage and those hidden spots in the pillars are fantastic! What I love about anything you do is that you really do pay attention to even the smallest detail. Everything is so uniform and the whole idea just flows from one room to the other. I love the style and can't wait to see the revealed space!!

  • I love seeing all stages of the design process, actually!

  • Love it! Hey, dumn question. How much is all this??? PLUS the house?? (:

  • Yes, I love the sneak peek at your work, but hate it because I want to see the finished project now!! lol. it is going to be beautiful.

  • Comment removed

  • This is very exciting! I give you a thumbs up.

    ~elaine~

  • WOW What a house! I can't wait to see the finished project when your done with it. I know its going to be beautiful, its already a vision I can see from your preview.

  • Really gorgeous changes!  I'll definitely check back!

  • i can not wait for the finish project!! you are truly amazing!

  • I love this! But I have a QUESTION: The windows you covered up...did you finish them on the exterior? Or from the exterior can you still see the windows? I have 6 windows off a family room and one of the six is larger...drives me bananas! :) Love the light it gives, however it throws everything off! And why did you choose NOT to cover the window in family room next to the tv?

    Thanks for the videos! Love your style!!

  • Hi @caltic , The Living room windows had plantation shutters on them so we put them in a closed position and drywalled over them. This will give potential future owners the option of reverting if they want to. It looks fine from the outside. The window next to the TV will have custom Ironwork inserted inside and mirror the same size window on the opposite wall. It looks random now but will be beautiful with the ironwork when its all finished. Thanks for asking ;-) RR

  • Ahhh you are so amazing! I cannot wait to see the finished product!

  • What a beautiful construction and your designing executions are fabulous. I can't wait to see everything into completion!

  • OMGOSH, you are seriously gifted! This install is crazy big! So much going on. It's amazing how quickly you went from finishing the last project to being where you are now in this project. You are so busy! I have a tough enough time trying to figure out what to do with my brick fireplace/mantle....and I have been looking at the ugly thing for three years! You are blessed to see beyond the walls. Can't wait for the results!

  • @NIVPsalm51 .....LOL... Actually, This project has been underway for 10 months. Construction and custom details are very time consuming. For the past year we have been working on 7 projects simultaneously! It's just that the completion dates of 4 of them have been booked back to back. After the reveal of this home next Friday night at 8PM, we jump onto the next install scheduled for the end of the month. #3 is an even bigger project than #2 will be and has been in the works 4 over a year! <3 RR

  • @robesondesign Oh, well that makes more since. I imagine your clients double-shocked, first after hearing the cost and second after hearing how long it takes. Though perfection isn't cheap or easy.

  • You can't wait to show us, we can't wait to watch it! I LOVE YOUR JOB

  • wow great job

  • love this video! Look at you being all HGTV!!

  • That looks gorgeous already!...I can't wait to see it all put together:)

  • Can't wait to see the finished product...It is going to be beautiful with you doing it...You have such a wonderful talent...

  • that looks beautiful :)

  • How much does something like that cost? It's seems really, really expensive. I can't wait to see the finished home, it's going to be amazing! :)

  • hardwood looking tile! i am in love!!!

  • The finished product is going to be amazing!! You are so clever Rebecca!

    ~Jan

  • Very exciting!!! Can't wait to see the results!!! Good job so far.

  • Love, love. love the hidden storage in the pillars - you are BRILLIANT. Thank you for showing us this insight into the interior design process. So excited to see the final reveal! I know you'll make it on time :)

  • ahhhh!!!!This house is phenomenal...I can just image how the finish product is going to look.

  • Thank you so much Rebecca! Both of my sisters have moved out for college so i am left with three rooms to choose from and tons of furniture, but it doesn't match! Ghost coating it will be amazing. Thanks a bunch!

  • Wow, I cant wait to see the finished product! Looks like hard work but super fun too! I LOVE makeovers:) You're really good at what you do!

  • Hidden storage adds such a "wow" factor. I love it!

  • Beautiful so far! I can't wait to see the completion. I'm sure it will be spectacular! Great, great stuff!

  • Lovely design, I'm anxious to see the metal work for the stairs. I would prefer wood with the design of that house. Metal seems cold in such a warm looking enviorment, but I have a feeling it will look great. Whatever happend to the bedroom design you were doing for Arturo trejo?

  • @hippygram Its in... I just saw it yesterday and its spectacular! Not like anything I have ever designed before. The overall style of the home is "Classic Modern" so I designed the iron railing with geometric shapes that fit the overall direction we are taking. It won't be everyones cup of tea, but it certainly is our clients taste and will add a lot of drama to the home. Regarding Wood verses Iron on stair railing...depends on everything else in the design plan. Its not always a cold look. RR

  • @hippygram Oh... and MrArturoTrejo's bedroom furniture arrived and they love it. The built-ins are on hold right now but Nancy is working on all the finishing touches for their room. I suspect we'll hear from them soon regarding their plans. Thanks for following up! RR

  • This is GORGEOUS. You're so creative.

  • I love this house, I love Your work and I can't wait when You show us when You finish !!! Ooooo and I <3 YOU :) !!!

    PS

    Can You show us all house and outside !!! Please !!!

  • I like seeing this and then when you do the reveal it will be even cooler to see how much is done

  • Thanks for taking us along for the ride!! Can't wait for more!

  • I love this!

  • I'm excited to see how it turns out!

  • your my Candice Olsen- i love her i love you- so classy clean fresh- i want to turn on my tv and see you!!!- i dont comment a lot- but i always watch you- the last time i said i wanted to see somebody on TV they were on it-- aarti party on food network- she was on youtube--now she has her own show! --love shelly

  • Fantastic job

  • Looks great Rebecca! Love the ingenuous hidden storage places!

  • omg i really want to see the finished product

  • :)

    

  • wait, so your going to have this done in a week? dang, y'all must work fast, and have a lot of people working.

  • Awesome! You come up with the greatest ideas. I love the hidden storage, me have a bunch and its cool if someone is coming over you can just throw in everything lol......quick question what camera do you use? and is that a wide angle lense?

  • I LOVE THIS VID!!!!

  • I thought this was a pretty cool video in two ways, it allows us to see what the process is like, and because it shows the work involved.

    Also I wanted to put an "Interesting" reaction.. But I couldn't so I went with incredible.

  • Love it how you're quick and to the point.

  • ChristyABell´s room is amazing!!!!LIKE UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

  • Can't wait to see it finished!! I love your work and your personality.

  • While I can respect Frank Geary's architecture I am a lot more comfortable with historical trophisms; I love the doors with the transoms and the substantial mouldings. I do wish that skylight was larger but I didn't set the budget. I can't wait to see what kind of chandalier you pick, how it works during the day with the skylight and at night against the dark sky? Livingroom diningroom not very big was the mirror your idea? The sound suffered with all the reflective surfaces

  • Stunning! Beautiful cabinets, are you going to show pictures or video of macbarbie07's renovation??

  • Love it!!!

  • O My! The colors are so rich-beautiful ideas incorporated..wish I lived there. One lucky lady living in that house. Hope you will show the before.....going to be a busy next 5 days..cant wait! Thanks

  • :( I dnt know how to add my reaction, do i just click on the options or what do i do :( cause when i click nothing happens

  • @chaparrita994 ....LOL.... I think it has a delayed response. If you click one of the options, it will register .... you could test it to see by doing this. Note the # of reactions, watch another video... all the way through... come back to the video you left a reaction on to see if the # changed. Its worth a try ... Thanks RR

  • great!! :) loved seeing a sort of behind the scenes video! Great work once again Rebecca!

  • Wow. You are amazing.

  • cant wait to see the finished product...good work

  • Hey Rebecca..omgg i looooooooooooooooveeee seeing this processs..if i ever have a nice big house im coming to you..i sent you a personal message..let me know if you got it

  • Have you ever done a room/home with lighter colored Scandinavian-style furniture?

  • @rdidri Yes several times. I don't have any videos of those projects though ... sorry RR

  • I forgot to use the 'reactions' box. so i'm posting again to use it lol!

  • Wow! I wish I knew what their budget was, as I have a tight budget and yet I can't seem to find anyone to help with my kitchen. At least not anything nice or durable. Do you ever tell people hey your budget is too small I can't help you?

    I have had three quotes, and am still living with an ugly kitchen because everyone quotes me 10k more than I have. I can't wait to see the next install. I love the mirror in the hallway to open it up.

  • Hi @5995char, Thanks for the comment :-) Yes there are times when I have to break the news to people ... Your wants are not realistic in relation to your budget. On top of the cost of furnishings and construction involved, my clients have to include the cost of Design Services as well. Its a luxury to be able to afford a professional design team to remodel your home, but for those who can afford it, Its a remarkable experience. Keep saving your money so you can do it well! Best to you, RR

  • when you have more time to film videos would you consider doing a video on different design styles and how we at home could achieve it (best colors and fabrics to choose and any other extra advice)

  • need... more... NOW!!!

    so exciting!!!

  • @LuigiRules Thanks David, Love You!! RR

  • ....

    I'll subscribe

  • Wow! How many Sq ft does the home have? It looks huge!

  • Incredible. I love the 'visual drama' of the white mixed with espresso. The china cabinet you designed is gorgeous. I'm sure the homeowners will also appreciate all the extra storage you've added. Big thumbs up and favored.

  • This is going to be fabulous! Excellent work as always Rebecca!

  • i love this!!! my dream job..right here!

  • Dang, I am super excited for the reveal!!!!!!!!!

  • More vids like this!

  • I can only thumbs up the video once :(

  • @RestOnMyLaurel ... awee thats so sweet. You can always add your reaction as well as thumbing up... its a new feature next to the comments box! 7 people so far have done it.. kinda cool! RR

  • I love your ideas for ghost paint and the hidden storage :) we could use a lot more storage in our house x.x

  • Seriously I would love love to see you on a reality interior design show or on the Home channel. Geez if Dina from Housewives of NJ (and she's just ok) can get on why couldn't you?

  • Well .....@Tahlliss .... funny you should mention that.... I am currently in the early stages of negotiations with a Film Production company who wants to do just that! They are interested in filming my design practice as well as my family life for a Reality Show! I'm still on the fence about it. You know how Reality Shows can go. I would loose all control and it would open my whole life to the world... Just sayin! .. As a family, we're praying about it. Thanks for the nice comment! RR

  • @robesondesign That is awesome Rebecca. Couldn't they exclude filming your personal life but film you in action on your designs? Good luck on your decision I'm sure God will give you discernment on the right course of action. God bless.

  • This is awesome, Rebecca. I love this channel more and more. Keep bringing us these wonderful videos. Great editing, Scott. Thumbs up!

  • Your hidden storage in columns idea is BRILLIANT! Love seeing this stage of a project!

  • Rebecca, love the walk through; cannot wait to see the finish project. I really like the hidden storage; it's all about paying attention to the little details that can make a big difference. Thanks 4 sharing.

  • This project is so exciting--I can't wait to see the completed transformation but I thoroughly enjoy the entire process. My dad is a general contractor and built a couple of homes that we lived in growing up so I think that's where I get it from :) I hope you continue doing these kinds of videos and I also wish I could give this video 50 thumbs up!!!

    xoxo Melody

  • @lmmbchampion Thank you .... 50 thumbs up would be great wouldn't it? I have noticed something new on YouTube today... Do you see the drop down box that says "Reaction" ? I've never seen that before but I think it enables you to take your thumbs up rating and boost it a bit?? Check it out... let me know :-) RR

  • Candice Olson is my favorite designer now I have to add you to my list of faves.

  • @Tahlliss AWESOME Compliment. I love Candice Olson too :-) RR

  • So cool!

  • that house is so big and beautiful ,im pretty sure its going to come out really awesome and ur ideas on everything are so good cant wait to see the finished look.

  • @TheVintagecutie Me Too! Thanks for watching and leaving an ENCOURAGING COMMENT! RR

  • I love it! Beautiful! I love the white kitchen, and white built ins. IDK what it is about white, it just looks very clean and fresh.

  • @tayboox33 Wait till you see the wall color going on as we speak, it really makes the white cabinetry POP. I hope you'll be back to see how it all turns out!! RR

  • @robesondesign Awesome I bet it's going to look amazing! I'll keep a look out for the new video! 

  • I definitely wish you could design my house! but I just helped my parents re-do one of our rooms and used some tips I learned from watching your videos!

  • @VeraGeek Thats AWESOME! Love to hear people are actually benefiting from my videos! Thanks for sharing! RR

  • wow I need you to do my mini mansion when I purchase it.Can you come to Atlanta?

  • @rosadavismusic YOU BET! Get working on that .... LOL... RR

  • nice house but i dont like it

  • @SRW7538 Thanks for the honest feedback. And THANK YOU for stating your opinion rather than giving the video a thumbs down! RR

  • Looks great!

    

  • love the walk-though this home is going to look GORGEOUS!!!.

  • Thank you @scrappinbeauty for watching and leaving your comment ;-) I am really EXCITED about how its all going to come together. I have a feeling it will be MY FAVORITE install ... to date ... anyway :-) I love all of my projects so its hard to pick but I do have to say, This clients taste is very similar to my own so its pretty fun! RR

  • @robesondesign Lol Rebecca I can see that , I just thought that to myself this home puts me in mind of RR when I saw the mirror wall. I saw it in your Birthday Wish video to Scott, so funny you should say that !! My favorite part is the hidden storage areas throughout the home. Being a scrapbooker I MADLY in LOVE with storage, having storage to hide and put tons things away is important so I love that.I can't wait to see the finished project:)

  • I think...actually Im considering of getting someone to put down some baseboards...I like getting ideas from your channel :)....honestly I recently moved into my townhouse..I have no furniture in it, because I simply do not know what to do with this place

  • looks amazing!
