so today we're going to be doing some updates in our master bedroom which i'm in right now
as you can see it looks very blank um i am wearing a really cute pink sweat suit set oh
there you can see it looks pretty cute i'm getting a little warm though so i'm going to be changing
this set is from fabletics and they are of course one of my favorite sponsors they're
sponsoring this video and i can show you some of my outfits that are going to be very
nice and loungy and cozy which is what i've already been wearing all the time lately i'll
give you little sneaks of those but for now i wanted to show you the process of transforming
our bedroom which i'm so excited about we've been in this house for about a year now and i don't
know if it's just us but sometimes i feel like mom and dad get the shortest end of the stick
when it comes to prioritizing the nice things so our bedroom has of course come after
arya and ezra already have their super cute rooms which if you haven't seen a little tour of their
rooms i did show peaks of them in my like midway house renovation tour if you guys haven't seen
that i will leave a link gosh what direction is it in i think it's this way i always forget
if you guys want to see that i will leave a link up there and in the description box down below you
know what actually i'm getting pretty warm so yeah i'm gonna change real quick and then we'll get to
doing uh some wallpaper on the wall right here and that's hi then me i'm just ahead now he is
just a floating head i'll give you details as well of some of my favorite things in the room okay
let's go this is my second outfit so i was hiding under the first one i was already wearing this
under here there been so many days lately that it's been super super hot and this is what i've
just been wearing anyway i literally have this same set in this green color and this sort of
like blushy pink color i own these in multiple colors they are my favorite biker shorts in the
whole wide world literally the most comfortable biker shorts i've ever put on my body okay let's
go to work by the way i got my hair cut recently it's a little shorter than i intended to go
and i wanted it really shaggy but i think you know it'll get more of that messy kind of look once it
grows out just a couple inches so but i do like the freedom of having short hair i'm not really
married to having long hair or anything but anyway it's a change from the last time i did a video so
i felt like i had to mention it this wallpaper that we got is called the azteca blush
from drop it modern this is something that was picked out by our interior designers so we worked
with s11 design they're also the ones that helped us with our beautiful kitchen and basically our
entire house they're asian american as well which is awesome because we have little hints
of that in our decor which i'm really jazzed about and i definitely wanted to retain some of that
cultural identity but like in a subtle high-end looking way we also went with one of the peel and
stick kind of wallpapers just so it's like easier for us to put it up and down ourselves but also
if we ever want to change it in the future we can totally do that and i also had experience putting
wallpaper that's peel and stick upstairs in arya's room because we did that ourselves as well so
oh my goodness i always forget how long it takes to put up wallpaper until
we actually do it this basically took oh what time did we start three or two o'clock it
took a long time if you have really flat walls that don't have windows it'll go much quicker
fortunately i have two windows and it's kind of beveled the way that like my windows are so
we had to do a lot of really precise cuts hi oreo so that made it a lot more difficult but
i think it looks really amazing once we push the bed back and have the curtains up i really think
it's going to make a big difference the kids are asleep i don't think i'm gonna get a drill up
there tonight so i'm just gonna go 50 curtain list tonight and we will try to continue tomorrow yeah
you know when you say you're gonna do something the next day and then it's two weeks later
well i guess that kind of happened now we're gonna hang the fan and finish our room because
life got real busy but that's okay sometimes house things take a long time i don't know i feel like i
always see things on like instagram or tick tock or whatever it is and everybody just gets things
done like that and unfortunately that is not how it works in my life i don't know about you guys if
if diy projects and home projects and decor takes way longer for you let me know how you guys are
or if you guys do things super fast let me know in the comments what your like decorating style
is are you like super fast and you just get everything done or does it take a long time for
you so what we're doing right now is we are trying to find the center of the wall it's a little bit
tricky because we can't find our tape measure so i'm using just like a fabric tape measure
which doesn't reach all the way across the wall so we're trying to just like measure it from one side
and then measure it from the other side and trying to find the middle and using a level and for some
reason this level does not have a ruler on it why do they make levels without rulers on them why did
we buy a level without a ruler on it because our priority was uh needing a straight line apparently
more than more than measuring more than measuring so anyway we pulled our bed up you can kind of see
the ladder is over there oh and we put our curtains back up i love these curtains um
for people who have been asking me where we got our curtains from i actually found it on amazon
so if that is something that you guys are interested in i'll leave a link
the reason i bought it from there was because the description and everything it was like the direct
curtain manufacturer it wasn't like buying it from pottery barn or whatever and they also were
able to adjust things how i wanted it so like they have all the different styles of like the
how you hook it onto the curtain rod and stuff mine has these little like plastic hooks in the
back that goes on a curtain ring and then you just slide the ring which i kind of prefer more
than the kind where you like loop the curtain rod through the curtain because then it kind of drags
in a weird way and it just looks fancier and nicer let me see for those of you who are uh nerdy about
curtain details i guess i didn't even know there were so many different kinds of ways
of hanging curtains until i kind of looked into it but yeah i'm very pleased with those
and they're doubly thick they still let some light through but it um actually has been pretty good
with blocking a lot of the heat which is one of the main reasons why we wanted them on all
of our windows in addition to privacy but look at the wallpaper i think it looks so amazing i also
wanted to show you what i'm wearing today um it's another athletics loungy type outfit uh ignore
i'm also wearing a robe and also ignore the mess that's on the bed because we pushed it forward
everything is kind of crazy right now big pile of clothes i mean it's all a work in progress
you know so this is what i'm wearing today it's sort of like a sage green and it has like ribbing
on it so it's like super super soft oh my gosh though i have to tell you about these sweatpants
these are my absolute favorite sweatpants in the whole wide world i have it i think
in four colors it just fits so perfectly for some reason it makes me look like curvy versus
schlumpy and it makes my booty look nice which i don't think i ever say about sweatpants gives
such a nice shape and is so so so soft and cozy so anyway that's what i'm wearing when
i've showed some of these outfits that i've been wearing from the lounge collection in particular
on instagram i had so many people asking me where it was because they went to the website and they
couldn't find it so i just also wanted to give you guys a heads up that new collections launch
on thursdays every single thursday if you want to make sure things aren't sold out i would
check back on the site on thursdays so that you don't miss it if you guys want to sign up to be
a fabletics vip you actually get a first access to look at all of their new collections plus you
also get access to the fableticsfit app which has a lot of really amazing workouts you don't have to
pay anything extra for it you can just do a lot of great workouts at home which is so convenient
yeah so i will leave a link in the info box down below if you guys want to also pick up this fan it
also came in a really pretty like dark emerald green color i will also leave a link of that
in the info box down below as well since we do live in california um one thing that i am doing
to hang the fan on the wall even though it doesn't weigh a super ton like a really heavy piece of art
i'm using this earthquake proof hanger but the cool thing is it has this curved bit so you can't
just have it shake and then the thing falls off the wall it'll really be sort of solid and stuck
in there so you really have to push that to get the thing hanging out so hopefully even if there's
an earthquake it's not gonna come crashing down on our heads plus it's like brass kind
of still sort of matches with our decor that's a good tip or if you have little kids that might
like tug on art these are really great i bought this larger size but i also have a pack of smaller
ones for regular artwork but this particular one i think it holds up to 75 pounds pretty cool
so i wanted to talk about a few of the different areas of my room how we went about designing
everything and deciding on everything clearly if that isn't obvious i really like the color pink we
integrated a little bit of pink into our bedroom design at our last house so i knew that that was
a color that really makes me happy and also ben likes it as well it's not like it's
just like i'm taking over the bedroom and it's like overly girly or anything he actually
really loves pink as well i love he just said i approve i really like that it gives sort of an
energy to the room without making me feel overly like electrified or anything i feel like it has
a very like peaceful zen quality but it also has energy to it sometimes i think about the whole
concept of like yin and yang and the balance of those two and i feel like there is like masculine
energy in this room as well as feminine energy and i just i really like that i also really am a fan
of really like graphic bold kind of elements it marries really well with our house which was
built in the 1920s so i'm very inspired by like art deco style i feel like when i watch a lot of
youtubers home videos i love seeing what other people do with their interiors however i feel
like i don't always identify with the style that i see so i'm so so very thankful that susie from s11
like she really really understands my vibe and what inspires me and what makes me feel really
at home even if this isn't your style i hope you really enjoyed it i do like taking something from
being really plain and ordinary to something where i feel just like inspired to be around something
that makes me feel really happy to live in for my space i did want to talk about my favorite
little mannequin in the corner she's been with me for many years i usually had dressed her
in outfits that were just sort of seasonal inspiration for that several months or whatever
but as soon as i got this dress this hanbok inspired dress i knew i wanted to display that
in my room and i'm so excited that now we have the wallpaper up the colors she has like a really
light coral and a little bit of greens i feel like the colors just go so well with the wallpaper
and she just you know she really does inspire me in that corner now that dress is actually
from a company that i found out from the end of a black pink video i think it was in
how you like that their whole brand concept is they make neo hanboks not to mention
the pattern on this particular dress is so cool because they actually went to the korean royal
museum and had their designers look with their eyeballs at the patterns of the traditional royal
costumes worn like hundreds of years ago they hand drew the patterns digitized it and then
applied their own colors to it so this is actually a royal pattern that they're using for the print
on the hanbok which i think is so special and so full of history and just adds that much more to
what i consider to be like my decor my space it is something that connects me to my culture and i
get to wake up to it every single day i just did a photo shoot wearing this dress for the first time
for chuseok which is korean thanksgiving it's a holiday that you know we're really excited
to celebrate and remember everything that we're thankful for just like american thanksgiving it
was a good excuse to put on that dress and really try to share that culture with my kids and also
you know the people following me on instagram which if you guys aren't following me on instagram
i will leave my screen name if you want to follow me here i think it's important to take out time
not only to celebrate parts of culture like that yourself but if you are a part of that culture
to really share that with your children too especially because my kids are half korean instead
of them feeling like they don't quite identify with both cultures i'm really trying to raise them
in a way where they feel fully korean and fully american at the same time because it's something
that i wish i had when i was growing up there are a little more nods to korea in my room these side
tables they're little like wooden octagon shaped tables i think i found them on craigslist or offer
up or something like that i got a pretty good deal on them and i just really liked the unique shape i
like that it's very geometric and i don't think they're necessarily going to live permanently
in this room however the side tables that we ordered that the designer recommended everything
is backordered right now in like the whole world of course because of everything going on there's
so many shipping delays i still wanted to show you guys where we're at because this just made
completely a new facelift for the room i like that it's just squeezing in a little bit of my
korean history into like every single room of the house but if you don't really know
you're not gonna see it but once you see it you can appreciate it oh you know what when i posted
a little bit about our room on instagram i had so many people asking me about this bed i am obsessed
with the bed not necessarily like the mattress but like the bed itself with like the headboard i love
i love channel tufting it's very very like art deco but i really love this particular bed so
very very high quality very stable this is a piece that we definitely splurged on but i intend to
keep it forever i love this bed so much i bought it from a company called grayson living so again
i will link that in the info box down below but this is definitely like the biggest splurge piece
in my master bedroom but of course it's like what do they say anything that separates you from the
ground you shouldn't cheap out on you should like spend the money there so that includes like your
shoes your bed maybe you could say like cars just whatever is separating you from the ground
i i find that to be true though especially as i grow older and my feet are not quite what they
used to be my body isn't quite what it used to be i feel like that is really good wisdom
also i guess my plant i love plants i talk about plants a lot i think this is called an aglionema
first diamond really good bedroom plant because it needs so very little ben sometimes questions
if it's fake because it looks so pretty and stays so consistently beautiful no matter what i could
forget to water it a couple extra days it looks exactly the same i think the most it's changed
is uh it started flowering but i guess that means it's happy in here i'm glad we finally
are starting to get to designing this room because like i said i feel like a lot of times we just put
ourselves on the back burner and that's something that i've really been trying to walk through in
my own life and my own journey especially as you know a mom of two younger children i i do need
to remember to take care of myself as well and i need to remember to listen to myself as well
and put things around me that make me happy for the sake of making me happy because i so willingly
do that for everyone else and sometimes i do forget to do that for myself you know my happiness
does matter i hope you guys feel the same way and i hope you enjoyed my room update video i'll
maybe try to do more updates once i get the rest of the furniture that's supposed to be in here
and up until then i will do posts on instagram as well so if you guys follow me there you'll
get to probably see these missing side tables and another rug that i just ordered that's going to go
underneath the bed here too but i love you guys so much thank you for watching and being interested
i i can't tell you how much i appreciate that you guys have been along with me on this journey so
i love you guys so much and i will see you in the next video
