A Basement MAKEOVER || Making a Costume Workshop!

FINALLY. This basement has been the bane of my existence for TOO LONG Y'ALL. And after being put on waitlists for studio spaces without any hope of actually scoring one, I decided... it was time. My goal? Make a cosplay workshop out of my dark, dingy, 70's-paneled basement. I only partly realized the wasted potential of this room and BOY was it a busy couple weeks, but it's DONE!
I hope you all enjoy watching and love home renovation projects as much as I do, hahaha. I'm RUNNING OUT OF THEM.
I love you all!!!!

Girl, when you get tired of being a full time YouTuber, you have a future as an interior designer. Your taste is impeccable.

Wearing a lil aesthetic outfit was such a cute idea, but no...
changes into an even more aesthetic outfit and becomes Milo Thatch

If I may make a suggestion to save you stress in the future: add an L- bracket to the center of the shelves you made so they don't start warping and sagging in the middle.

“Weird, whimsical, jumanji,” is truly a great design philosophy

In the long run, you're going to love not "going to the studio." You always want something that you left at home when you are at the studio and when you finally get home, you find that you left something crucial at the studio. You will find yourself buying two of everything so that you will "have one at the studio." You will always want something to eat or drink that is at the other place. You will have to shlep your animals to the studio and back with you so you won't get animalonely at the studio. Your new space is grand!

DIGITIZE THOSE PHOTO ALBUMS IF POSSIBLE !!! Disasters happen and having a back up of, to quote John Mulaney “the one thing you can’t replace” is something you need

A real marriage is when you come to kiss your spouse and they react like "??? tf, are you procrastinating something?" 😂😂😂

i think its really sweet looking back and seeing you've been debating a studio all these years i'm so glad you finally got one!

Put some supports under and between those shelves. Otherwise you will come downstairs to find a collapsed crapload on the floor. They should be supported with a span no longer than 30 inches between supports. 2 X 4's are ample, but be sure to line them up so each is directly above the one below it. Your grandmother had a reason that she had them there. You WILL be sorry if you don't do this simple thing now. Gravity ALWAYS wins! Great job on the rest of it.

I love your "victorian treehouse"/"jumanji"/ “Tarzan” aesthetic and I want it to be more mainstream because it's great and I aspire to attain it.

And if Rachel is anything like me this is the cleanest it will ever be again.

Anyone else feel a strange relief knowing Rachel’s “rustic” basement looked as wild and panel consumed as theirs?

We remodeled ours three years ago and I’m getting flashbacks
