In this video, Mr. Kate and his team aim to transform a 25-year-old PR professional's living room on a budget of $300 within one day. The goal is to achieve a minimalist, Tumblr-chic look. They begin by assessing the space, determining what items to keep, and what to buy. They visit thrift stores and a fabric store to find materials, including a rug, armchair, plant stand, and fabric for a DIY tapestry.
Mr. Kate creates a unique tapestry using floral and canvas fabric, and they also make a hanging plant using a cotton clothesline and a pot. They paint a wall in the kitchen with a dark blue color to anchor the space and create a focal point. The team styles the room, incorporating the new furniture and decor, and the result is a transformed space that meets the desired aesthetic within the budget.
The final reveal shows a cozy and inviting living room with a defined entryway, a lounge chair, and a geometric side table. The team is thrilled with the outcome, and the homeowner is surprised and delighted by the transformation.
