Brownstone Boys

If you didn't know about The Brownstone Boys, now you do! They're one of the (thankfully many) gay couples who do house flips and remodeling on YouTube and Insta. I've followed them for awhile now and I just had to share this video. Even though it does not present the house staged and decorated, it gives us more a sense of how the process of renovating the house went. I find it fascinating.

I love this house they rehabbed, BTW. It's one of those houses that you wish you'd seen first and bought it. Of course, you need to have their eye to see the diamond in the raw in the 'before'. It took them nine months to complete this remodel (damn!) but the results are fantastic. They also show how Ikea can be elevated and how personal touches give a house that extra touch. Yes, they did that. I really love seeing the progress people make in this kind of renovation because I have no idea how it is that they visualize all this fabulosity. 

I also love their DIY projects and I've been following their @oneroomchallenge and I can't wait to see what they do with their basement. You also know I live in a basement garden apartment, so this project is very close to my heart. They're a super cool couple (love following LGBTQ creators on Insta and YouTube. They always get my clicks!) and they seem to be very complementary to each other. I think working with your partner is something that not everybody can do. I think I've said before that working with someone I'm having a relationship with would be a trial by fire. I know I'd drive my man insane because I'm too fucking OCD and pushy. Oh, I know my drawbacks.

As a treat, here's them doing a DIY in their backyard. Now, this is how I'd love my backyard projects to look like! 

XOXO

P.S. the renovation of their @oneroomchallenge is complete!!!
