Jade-York's Profile

Don't fix what ain't broke! Love that you brought the cabinets into the new and recycled materials for the backsplash, I like the price tag even more! As a new Yorker which means long term renter, in the places I've been able to tinker and change I don't want to sink big money into so brava hats off my kind of remodel! ;)

Fantastic job but I think a not so bland fabric would have made the after look like a more expensive piece?? Thoughts? Would a pattern be better for a novice to attempt to reupholster with (hide imperfections?) or stick to solids?

This is completely fabulous and would only be correctly executed by an interior designer our inferiors couldn't accomplish something so artistic and beautiful with this much complexity...the masses would have a mad clown home if they attempted this fo'sho!

The writing was amazing and really drew me in ..but honestly underwhelmed white walls and MCM pieces and cluttery art groupings... It's very Brooklyn I don't see much Texas in this actually none at all. There's no classic or eclectic feel it's just a repeat of what you see everywhere ...I want some innovation apartment therapy!

I've spray painted shirts before, lightly and with one coat and it is surprisingly soft and pliable there is some fading with washes but that can add to the look and I'm sure could be solved with less abrasive soaps and washing techniques. Also any slight stiffness the not made for fabric spray paint gave to the t shirts was absolutely gone in one wash.

I'd love to know more details about how you laid them on wall..start in the center? Start at a corner? How many awkward edges did you have to cut? Easiest for laying out colors light to dark?!

Your cheapest solution is paint..if you remove them you expose wires and plumbing correct? In most cases homes don't have the "cool" industrial looking plumbing is dirty and PVC piping. I think hanging wallpaper or fabric unless your a professional designer would be sloppy and uglier! And yeah that's possible. So cheap solution until you can one day redo ceiling paint! To not accent the ugly I'd say solid color neutral black brown tan creme etc..no white because it looks to much like it's original purpose commercial office! Don't paint piping diff color nothing! One color flat! Or eggshell something with as little sheen as possible. Sheen will just accent the fact that it's a cheap modular ceiling and not solid. Then do a fantastic job decorating the rest of the bathroom so it's possible to live with ceiling until one day we all hit the lottery and have limitless amounts of money to spend doing all projects the way we'd like * sigh that would be lovely...

Question! I do really dig the transformation..however is the time spent finding the perfect shaped DIY couch hauling it around sourcing fabrics and the total cost worth it? For 1800 you might as well have walked into some showroom somewhere paid cash and had it delivered right to the house. If however you really weren't seeing any "new designs" name brands or designer pieces you liked I could see this as a viable alternative. But for me average joe schmoe DIY-er I do things myself to have originality and save some greenbacks! More practical DIY projects please!!!

I think this is a super awesome idea would love to get basics down and modify design to fit personal interior.

P.s. Please make more of these vids viewable on iPad!

I appreciate creativity but there is definately a line crossed making cesa's work hard to swallow. To each there own but is it a challenge to be random ? Creativity is born from necessity let's not reinvent the wheel that designs not broken! How about cesa's Pure shock value without function home! Not aesthetically pleasing whatsoever and looks to be quite uncomfortable and challenging to live there I.e. Stepping over castle walls to pass through hallway..also there is a reason coffee tables have a standard height..it's comfortable..what a silly notion, comfort.
