We race to get a room ready for my parents who are coming to visit us soon! We're heading to IKEA to pick out some stuff to make the room look cozy. It's a big adventure: choosing furniture, painting walls, and trying not to get lost in all the instructions. This is all about our big IKEA room makeover - how did we do?

@Stepsof2Foreigners6 months ago I warned him about putting things together from IKEA - this was a fun video to film and edit. It made us reminisce about those days in Brazil redecorating our first apartment together :). We hope you all are well and getting ready for the winter. ... 92

@giannishen6 months ago You have decorated that house so beautifully.

@peggyesquibel83536 months ago Poor Henry doesn’t get any cheese bread😟. He is the cutest! The spare bedroom looks great! Love the green (my favorite color) you chose for the accent wall! You two have been through a lot over the past few years and I am so happy to see you so comfortable and at peace! I may be wrong, but I think it is the most relaxed, happy, peaceful and fulfilled I have ever seen you. I know you have put in a lot of work (and continue to) to get to where you are and it shows! The Mama bear in me is very proud of both of you!💚. Take care Adam and Bernardo! Much love and big hugs! ... 17

@dunnmatt16 months ago *Fun vlog! Reminiscent of old times. Speaking of old times, nice incorporation of past footage. Kudos to you guys - moving furniture, painting, AND IKEA! I don’t have the patience. I’m glad you guys didn’t kill each other! I hope you have a great visit with your parents, regardless of which bedroom everyone ends up on! Xoxo ... 15

@terrylgeorge6 months ago "sweetie, our marriage has been tested way before now" 😂 kkkk. Look at you two home decorators 🏆. Love it! And the bread turned out great! We bought tapioca flour last weekend and have been meaning to make the pao 🤤 ... 6

@travishagen72956 months ago Adam and Bernardo -your videos and love of Portland and Oregon inspired my partner and I to visit Portland last week. We quickly fell in love with the area, and all of the breathtaking nature. We loved it so much we've now decided to relocate our family (us and our two dogs) to the Portland area, from Rhode Island, in early 2024. We are so excited to put our own stamp on a new place. Thank you for inspiring us! ... 15

@bobrown29016 months ago I'm sure your parents will be very comfortable in their room. Perfect timing, too, because Thanksgiving will be here before you know!
I love Taco Bell, so it's a great choice for a date nite meal. 🌮🌮🌮
Have a great week. Love you very much. XOXO ❤ ... 12

@morganessen-moller16056 months ago As a Swede (and part of the Patreon family) I see it as a sin not to eat Swedish meatballs when visiting IKEA..shame on you...🙈🤣🤣
Now maybe you guys understand why me and my partner have been together for 24 years..lots of IKEA furniture which we screwed together🤣🤣A big plus for the image quality, it is noticeable that you have a new camera🙏🏻
With love from Sweden❤️ ... 6

@natalieangus92456 months ago What a warm and cozy bedroom. All you need now is some nice wall-art and voila, ready for mom and dad. You work well together! 5
@

@tigergreg86 months ago I love this house, and esp where it is, you guys should buy it.
I put a whole bedroom suite together from Ikea and thought it was really easy. If you go step by step as they ask, you'll have no problems. Thing is, people don't want to look at instructions, and one false move and you may have to start over. Haha ... 2

@riccardo500013 weeks ago It's cool to see that you two are so compatible.

@InternationalBrit6 months ago You guys on an IKEA bed? Remember what happened to the last one? Crunch? 😂😂😂😂 2

@frostiesarah23156 months ago Love the accent wall colour. I don’t mind putting furniture together but IKEA furniture is something else, you done a good job and the room looks nice and cozy. Sending hugs as always Adam & Bernardo oh and scritches for Henry ❤❤❤ ... 5

@leonduplessis6 months ago I love that colour on the accent wall, it is warm and calming. I hope your parents have a wonderful visit with you guys. 1

@midnitr6 months ago From the moment I clicked on this video I can feel that Adam is muuuuch more happier and relaxed ever since moving to this house. I am no expert in people lives or who is happy or not but his face is much more relaxed and movments aswell I can say he has a clear mind now. Love you both babies 🥰🥰🥰🥰 ...

@greg44106 months ago You both have diverse ideas, but compromise and working together is a great example on how a marriage should be. Room looks great. Have a great visit. Will their be a complete home video tour once you got things all decorated? ... 2

@sandraromeira52786 months ago Oi Garotos , saudades de vocês. Adoro esse lugar e a natureza tão linda que está presente ao redor de vocês. Sinto o Adam mais leve e confiante e vc Bernardo mais feliz.
Vocês são ótimos decoradores . Vai ficar tudo muito bonito e aconchegante com certeza. Tomara que num futuro próximo vcs possam comprar uma casa num lugar assim para um lar definitivo. Bjos .

@michaelrich54106 months ago Good Job on assembling anything from IKEA and not having to make an extra Therapy appointment!..I commend you!...Shocked you made two trips to IKEA and didn't pick up cinnamon rolls !..They may not be as good as homemade, but pretty close, and obviously an easy pickup..Two favorite parts of the video; the Fall drone photos and Adams comment in the IKEA parking lot confessing he likes to "go in and out"..😁🤣😁..The double entendre was not lost on me!...As always, job well done boys!!😘..Michael ... 1
@

@10GOLDENWOOD206 months ago You ought very much to be proud! Great transformation...and you even made it back to IKEA for the desired frame. Y'all don't look any older than you did in Brasilia! That's so cool. Looks like a Sirocco Blaze King stove. If I heard correctly, you paid for a cord, but didn't keep a cord? You'll wish you had the rest of that cord...and then some. Heat from a wood burning stove warms your bones! Wheelbarrow...very useful. Love, Hortice. ...

@Tenor7776 months ago I need to watch your videos more frequently. They motivate me to get out of my doldrums and to get going. And, that Brazilian Cheesebread looks incredible. I'm signing you up for the next British Bake Off! 1

@harrietcarr3076 months ago * Wonderful video, guys!! Your guest room looks just terrific! Your parents will be so happy with your efforts for their benefit. I laughed at your painting details. I was recalling your painting the walls in your first Brazil apartment. There, you also painted each other! Remember?😉🤭 Needless to say, you have enough wood for the next few winters! I was concerned about their lack of wood, too, Debbie! I love the gorgeous drone shots here! Oregon is really showing off this fall. So great to see it from a bird’s eye and your own!! Great job on this one; your new camera is first rate! Great chat Saturday, Adam… I always enjoy those. Love and hugs to you and B! The bread looked delicious, by the way. 🤗🤗🥰🥰 Harriet ... 2

@mikekelly11516 months ago ** Just got in from picking up leaves. I got 11 craft bags of leave this week. There was more to pick up in the front yard, but it was getting dark already and I was tired. So, they will have to go with next week's free leaf pickup by the city. Only two more weeks left I hope all the leave come down before that. Wonderful video to come in and watch. Love the bed and the painted wall. I think your parents will like it as well. Did Henry have to stay in the car when you exchanged the bed? At least he got to come along for that trip to IKEA. The cheese bread looked great and it must taste good too. Have a great week. Big hugs, kisses to all three and a treat for Henry. ❤❤🦮 ** ... 1

@donnieharper47356 months ago You guys made unassembled furniture look so easy to assemble! I ordered a large desk with drawers, a slide out keyboard shelf and a door the locks. I had no idea back then that I would have to assemble it. I wish you could have seen me. I feel your pain! I'm sure it was worth every nut and screw you put into it. :) You guys make so many of us laugh and cry, through the years. Thanks for all the sharing you do with us. It can't be easy all the time. I wish you both continued success and love. Donnie Harper ...

@kevincollins536 months ago Really great video guys! Your filming and editing talent has gotten better and better. I wish we could've seen more of you at the Zoom chat on 11/11 Bernardo, but your time was well spent. Having that view to wake up to every morning looks so peaceful; you really are so fortunate to have found that place. I really like the way you decorated the guest bedroom. No need to spend a lot of money to make it nice. The green on the accent wall is the same green I have on the accent wall in my living room; I love that color. I'm sure your parents (or you, if you switch rooms!) will be very comfortable there. Thank you, Bernardo, for sharing the cheese bread recipe; it looked delicious! That imploring look on Henry's face - I couldn't have resisted (Maybe he got just a little taste off camera?)! Anyway, now I want Taco Bell with cheese bread for dessert lol! Have a great week. Much love to you both and precious Henry. 💙💙 ... 1
