  • I am so glad you like this idea. Unfortunately at this time, Makeover Mondays are on a momentary pause. But stay tuned...more to come in the future!!!

  • Looooove your work! Are makeover Mondays still going on? My and and I just bought a home and I don't know where to start for our living area.

  • I just recently ran into your channel, and I think that you are so talented and funny. My daughter and I sit for hours watching your videos. I finally for the first time have a beautiful christmas tree this year thanks to your christmas tree video. I am not created in any way, but I have been getting some great ideas from you. Thank you so much for your talent, time, and your great sense of humor. :) This is the first channel that i have subscribed to and i cant wait to see more :)

  • are you still doing makeover mondays?! i have been in my apartment for 3 years and need so much help and advice on what to do! I love your channel!

  • I have 14 animal mounts in my living room I really do like them but they look only ok not great. have you ever worked with a client that had taxidermy? african animals, zebra skin rugs , elks and the like. have you ever done a video on decorating with them? Only you could come up with something so fantastic that I would encourage my husband to go hunting more lol

  • I LOVE your channel!!! I am sooooo glad I found you!!!! I hope it is not too late for me to participate in your Makeover Mondays!!!!! I will be submitting my floor plan and pictures!!! I hope I am chosen!!! :0)

  • @robesondesign , do you do house makeovers? I'm in huge need of a house makeover.. :/

  • I love your videos and have just subscribed. It's so great that you give free advice which most of us wouldn't usually be able to afford... I am going to try and send you some detailed info on my bedroom! It's BORRRING! Fingers crossed - i'll get lucky. Thanks for doing what you do x

  • Can you make a video explaining the questions? Some of them I don't understand

  • Shoe A(:

  • i love you!!

  • shoe B :)

  • It's been over a week now I'm waiting for last weeks makeover Monday video :(

  • why oh why aren't you on tv???? You are great! You mentioned youtube is better than tv lol I agree keep up the good work.

  • Awweee Thank you @greenbutterfly101, Maybe some day.... If i'm not too old by then ;-) Meanwhile, Youtube is really fun because unlike television, I get to intact with nice people like you !! Thanks! RR

  • That was a great idea, to put the "ad" for your other video in the end. Actually the art-series was the first thing I watched on your channel, it is really great and made me subscribe immediately.

    Sweet Greetings!

  • Hey, Rebecca!! You totally need to do another FREE give away makeover!!! The new house we move into is BLANK as can be and has stained ugly carpets..ewww...emphasis on the free....lmao!! (:

  • did you say "Scott broke up with his boyfriend"?

  • Awesome show, just stumbled upon it looking through videos can't wait to look through all of them and definitely can't wait to send you my 'awkward' space and see what you can dream up :) P.S I love the wrought iron art piece you have in the background towards the end of your video it's fast becoming the in thing to do in South Africa. Thanks for the quality topics and well executed videos you truly have something special. Huge thumbs up :)

  • A!

  • hi is there any way to get more lucky and win offer for the makeover monday!!!!!!!!

  • Hi!!! I just submitted! I was going to post a video response as part of my submission but I have it unlisted so I can't. I put links in the email and attached word document so you can watch :) If you have trouble or questions lemme know! I really hope you can help me even if its with just one thing...

    Love from,

    Christy!

  • thank you and i will be watching ur videos much love and take care

  • Love your videos still! Thanx <3

  • I told my mom about make over mondays and she's thrilled - the guest room on our house is a major problem area, I think I'll upload that :)

  • B----BOOT ALL THE WAY.

  • Wow! You looked amazing at the end of this video….I love your makeup! You need to do a tutorial on how to do your eye makeup, it always looks great. Can’t wait to see your next room makeover! P.S. Tell Scott I like the shoe better than the boot with his outfit....very sporty and cute.

  • Shoe B!

  • Hey rebecca ! i love your videos ! i started to watch your videos a long time ago( a year ago i think) and i used your videos to decorate my apartment when i moved out of my parent's house ! now i have to go back for my new school...that's why i thought about entering for makeover mondays. My room is small so i'm having a hard time making it nice ! But just a question, in France we use "centimeters" and "meters" so can i apply using this metric system ?

    thank you and Keep up the good work ! :D

  • @SophieTheFrenchy Thank you for asking... PLEASE convert the centimeters to inches for me!! The process is time consuming enough as it is so doing the conversion for me is very helpful! So YES, Please submit your room!

    RR

  • sorry for bothering you again< so my new room room , the wallapaper is floral< pink white and cream and pink paint, do you think it would be too harsh to put a black photo frame on the wall? i think black looks more sophisticated, but would it just be better to stick to a white or cream photo frame for the wall? :) x

  • @aloishamullan Black should be fine. Without seeing the wallpaper its hard to be certain but in general, black looks great with pink and white ... RR

  • @robesondesign but with a cream bin sitting on the floor and a cream, photo frame just sitting on my dressing table, would black still look OK on the pink wall above it all? x

  • shoe b

  • "So let me just say... we are one big happy family" LOOL! I assume you must have a lot going on so thanks for taking time to do this series! Oh, and I also think it would be great to see more vlogs in DesignedToBePersonal ;) hugs from Catalonia

  • @InsinuarHaceSal SERIOUSLY!! I feel really bad hat I have not been more active on my personal channel. I have tons of footage... Mac make up tutorial, my funky hair styles, Sharrah making a yummy fruit salad, How my family spent Mothers day... even me getting my lash extensions put on :-) The problem is time. My Design Firm is running at full speed right now and I'm struggling to even get Makeover Mondays done :-( So, thanks for the kind nudge.. I'm trying! Its 1:52 AM right now & I'm still up!

  • b for boots

  • Scott is so cute!

    This video made me like you more.

  • athletic shoe

  • SHOE B! hahah

  • You should do vlogs! I loved when you were in Italy, and this shoe choosing(I would go with B) moment made me smile. DO your videos more casual, it will help you with editing, and remember we love long videos. This weekend maybe I will send my submission, too, but it is hard because I have no money for redecoration, but I want a new room.:(

    Anyway thank for the video, cannot wait for the next:)

  • @benemanoo Thank you. Interesting feedback. I watch my insights and by and large, the Italy videos got fewer views than just about anything I have ever uploaded to youtube! Also, I'm of the belief, people DON"T want long videos... Thats why we do so much editing... Trying to make the important points but not bore people along the way. Your comment suggests otherwise and its nice to hear! Bottom line, Thousands to please! This video already has a thumbs down which really hurts rank :-( ?????? RR

  • @robesondesign Maybe I am different, because I watch the videos of the people, who I am subscribed to. I watch videos not just for the content, but to see the person, who makes the video:) I kind of feel I have to watch their video to see how are they doing,and just because they put the effort into it, and the least thing I can do is watch the video thumbs up, and comment:)

    Sometimes I watch videos for information, but I do not subscribe to those channels.

  • @robesondesign I do think that your subsribers watch your videos just because of you. You are interesting, and it is always good to get know a person:)

    The vacation videos honestly made me feel like I am on a vacation for those 10-20minutes. Those vlogs were better then bigger channel's on youtube have.

    I will try to make time to write an E-mail about my room, but I will have my final exam in 2 weeks, so I have to learn.

    Thank you for the reply, it totally made my day:D

  • @robesondesign Hey Rebecca - I wouldn't worry about any dislikes at all - some videos have hundreds of thousands of dislikes, yours only has two - two dislikes to 360 likes. People will always dislike for any reason... but everyone else loves you :-)

  • number a shoe

  • Shoe: A !

  • A!

  • I want a room surrounded by a water walls lol

  • boot

    

  • Love it im definatly trying it out :)

  • I love you videos. I don't think there is one I haven't liked... ever!

  • Okay so I have 9-10 walls in my room (10 if you count the wall that's just big enough for the door) so would I have to take a picture of every single wall?

  • how do you get picked or enter this (wonderful contest?) just commenting? what a neat and generous thing for you to do! x shelly

  • Can my submission be of just a room with minimal furniture? I just recently moved into my house and the plan is to buy completely new furniture.

  • B!

    

  • I appreciate the art placement videos. I already watched them the first time, but it was a good reminder of your tips and examples to watch them again. Thanks!

  • wear the boot. Shoe B.

  • I think shoe B, definitely :)

    and also, where should we submit our photos/maps? how do we get them to you?

  • Resubmitted:) I am not much of a measuring or drawing person can you believe that :) It was so funny my 5yr son was helping me by holding the measure tape lol!! Love your work I can't wait until next week :)

  • B!

  • aaaa

  • B !

  • hi Rebecca i have sent you pics of my room, do i have to send more or just the sizes of my furniture and a layout of my room?

  • id love to enter, but where do we submit our rooms? ? :( My room is such an awkward shape, so i need helppp!! :D

  • just a quick question, how do you give white walls color, without painting them? I live in a rental and cant paint my walls but am SO TIRED of just looking at the white!!

    OH i like A. and his hair is great!!

  • A for sure

  • i vote A i love them. I also have a question I would have to take more than 5 pictures to show all of my room is this ok

  • i vote b hahaha

    and this is such a great series! :)

  • I'll be moving near the end of the summer and I will definitely enter this when I move!

  • do you only design places in your own country or you go international ???

  • I'd love to put a submission in for makeover mondays... but I have to wait until I move into our new house - which I haven't seen before (scary!). Hopefully you'll still be doing this series in early-mid August! :)

  • I still have a great pleasure to see your videos. I love what you do. Thank you so much. I'll never forget your holidays in Italy. Respectually.

  • I'm going to be home on friday and I'm going to take all of the dimensions and add it to my all ready submitted room, please don't dismiss it! Love you and your videos so so much! :)

  • This is a great video because you are just letting us know what we need to do in order for us to get the Best advice from you!!!! This shows you are serious about your work and actually Likes to help people!!! After all your giving us best advice for Free!!!

  • @bettylovesjuly I do care. It takes more time than I originally anticipated when starting this series. Drawing my ideas is natural for me, but going through the submissions is more time consuming that I realized. It just proves my point & why I am doing this in the first place! People are interested in knowing how to improve their living spaces and getting advice from a professional is out of the question for most. Up till now its been a luxury reserved 4 the wealthy. Im happy to help! RR

  • a for sure :)

  • BEST THING ABOUT THE WEEK!!!

  • A :)

  • Dispite what you may think this is one of my favorite videos. That first candidate id everything right and not only deserved to be chosen but singled out for how helpfull she was by creating a blueprint of the room. You could also have mentioned drawing to scale the drawing one foot as one inch thing. another thing I do is using the paint program of windows. I zoom in and count one pixel as one inch. If you think it's a good idea I'll make a video. by the way, the boot is cooler.

  • Such a fantastic opportunity for your subscribers! Great idea! I hope someday you'll upload the end of your Tuscany vacation!! :)

  • @lovesavetheempty10 THank you so much! Regarding the Tuscany trip. I have all the footage and plan to edit and upload but ever since I returned from our vacation, I have been working 16 hour days to catch up and stay on top of our projects. WE have 4 installs (completion of projects) coming up in the next few months so everything is running at Mach speed! Thank you for still being interested. Thats very nice of you :-) RR

  • Scott, B-boot hands down! Gotta go watch art placement as I need the help. 

  • Shoe B! The boot looks good on him! He told us about him being hard to wake up...LOL.

    Good video Rebecca!

  • i love this video and u r great this is an amazing idea on how to help people fix their space.. i would love to see more of ur videos.. much love ;D

  • @chicababyphat AWESOME... glad you like it! As far as watching more of our vids... help yourself :-) There are 79 to choose from .... lol. My advice would be to go to my channel page and watch the ones in the right hand column. Thats where I keep the videos I think a person should watch if they are new to my channel :-) RR

  • i think scott should wear A!!!

    im quite surprised at the lack of common sense that a handful of these submissions have... oh well....

    love you!

  • @LuigiRules HaHa... spoken by a guy who is the king of Sims! Of course you would think its comma sense to include detailed measurements and floor plan but honestly, Its my fault. I was trying to make the submission process as easy as possible and mentioned measurements would be helpful. After doing JuliaK's room, I realized they were essential. Drawing my ideas on top of photos is not new for me but doing it on a room I've never personally seen IS. I'm learning too :-) Thanks Doll <3 RR

  • Definitely the boots. The other shoes look like slippers.

  • Shoe B, the boot! Welcome back home Scott =)

  • Can you give ideas for small bedrooms. I have a queen size bed. :)

  • boots!

  • A!

  • A :)

    

  • Scott is so kewl! He should be in more of your videos!!!!  -3 luv your vids by the way. I love fashion designing and interior designing.

  • totally going to submit my parents family room..they need some help!

  • Hi Rebecca! First, the camera loves you! Second, I love how you present yourself on camera, you are the consumate professional. Third, the macho boots looked much better on Scott than the Channel style ones. Happy Memorial Day!

  • Boot!!!

  • I vote B, the boot. :)

    Thanks for explaining what the map of the room should look like. I'm going to submit my living room. :)

  • The boot!!

  • When I move into my new apartment I'm going to be sending some pictures in of my new room! Its my senior year in college this coming up year and I would absolutely love a great looking room for once!!!

  • Love the Boot..

  • A! Love Scott, he's so funny :)

  • Shoe A :P

  • is scott gay?

  • @SuperiorSnorlax She said "Scott broke up with his boyfriend" around 3:00, so I think it's clear enough. But who cares really? He's funny :)

  • @SuperiorSnorlax of course hes gay.. hes such a fastion addict. Who cares what shoes you wear with a pair of jeans!! xD

  • omg! you have to film Scott waking up! I really wanna see that! haha! I love your whole family!!!

  • shoe B :)

  • hahahaha cant wait for the video of waking scott up

  • when i move into my new house, can i send you pictures so i have design ideas?

  • shooee a

  • shoe a

  • DEF A!

  • And I need to change the paint. Did I mention I have v. little natural light?~ :-) Help! Thanks so much!

  • Boot. Go w/ the boot!

    Q- While libraries are supposed to be on the dark side, mine is dreary. I have Brazilian cherry floors, desk and book cases. The desk chair is cherry arms/pedestal with navy leather. My love seat is a blue/white hounds tooth check. And a cornice of navy and light blue stripe w/ very fine white lines an a semi sheer white ish...sort of ivory sheers underneath. Little natural light, None of the above are the problem! I had the walls painted a very dark blue...

  • @mannerstrulymatter OOPS... It all sounded fine till the paint color. My first reaction is to tell you to paint the walls white. CRISP WHITE... or the IVORY color you mentioned! Add lots of lighting in the way of canned lights, sconces and lamps. That being said, why don't you just submit your room for Makeover Mondays? I can give you much better advice if I can see the room. RR

  • B ofc :D

  • Okay, I'll work on getting a floor plan to you, Rebecca!

    I saw my living room pop up on the video. That was cool to see!

    Thanks for letting us know how to help you help us. Makes sense.

  • A!!!

  • A!

  • Hello Rebecca, I see that you have a Orchid in the backgrond of your video, can you maybe make a video on Orcgid care, if you have the time and energy :)

    Shoe : A

  • Sure @willithor, Its really easy... no need for a video... Just buy HIGH QUALITY silk Orchids... LOL Thats right, Its SILK! I love real potted plants but my busy lifestyle is not conducive to keeping them alive. I have an excellent silk supplier and she provides me with plants for my home and projects that look so real, you have to touch them to be sure!...Fooled you! LOL... RR

  • B!

  • A!

  • B for Boot!
