    Hello Valentina and Jack. You picked an awesome topic. All ideas are so helpful 😊 only one small comment at some point whilst watching the music started and was too loud and I couldn’t listen you clearly. Other than that, as always thanks for sharing ❤

      Where did you get the bookshelves??? I want to get them.

  • @vasunseeker
    @vasunseeker Před rokem +9

    I fill my bookcases with mostly books (I have lots of books), filed alphabetically so I can find them again! I don’t use books as decor, except for some vintage finds. But I do love how you’ve decorated your “bookcases”, but these feel more like display cabinets to me. If I had those glass cabinets, I would probably include some framed photos or original art leaning against the backs, natural items that I have a special connection to like a piece of driftwood, special seashell, or gem specimen, and possibly some cherished objects made by friends & family members.

    • @baseballmomof8
      @baseballmomof8 Před rokem +1

      Yes. More like a display case. I have one, with glass doors… one third of it is filled with special baseballs that my seven sons received while playing… some played through college. Game balls, home run balls, signed balls… there’s probably 30 or so in that display cabinet. Don’t tell Valentina 😉😉😂

    I would love a video about the social media side of things, like how you take photos of your home, it's a topic I don't see anyone really cover and I think a lot of people would benefit from learning tips and tricks for taking good photos of their homes to share on social media. Thanks for another great video!

    @crystalwood4633 Před rokem +8

    As a Retail merchandise/decor manager, you always put heavier items on the middle or bottom shelves for safety. The zig zag design is perfect V! It causes the eye to have visual interest! I also appreciated how you cleaned the shelves first then decorated. Chef's kiss to you for another great video!

    • @carolyngrotaers4454
      @carolyngrotaers4454 Před rokem +1

      Have you noticed that the zig zag and 'V' shape are represented in a triangle?
      I think books look better when they don't have things stacked on them .
      You can buy or make beautiful platforms to elevate objects.

  • @jannibal9273
    @jannibal9273 Před rokem +5

    That's not a bookshelf, that's a curio cabinet with a few books used to level up the vases, etc. I would like to see you show how to rearrange your living room in several different ways using the furniture and items you already have, and tackle hard subjects like how to decorate a 9 x 11 room with long high windows on two walls nearly the entire length of each wall, a sliding closet on the third wall that takes up more than half the 9 feet, and an entrance door on the fourth wall of which the trim on said door meets with the trim around the closet sliding doors in the corner. This room is used as an office/library/den, complete with TV and two lap tops.

    Love this kind of content. Very hands-on. I’d love to see a gift wrapping video for non-Christmas gifts, since the wrapping videos have been my favorite. As a side note, I decorate with tons of books too, but lately I have been struggling with the idea of placing items on top of books. Seems like people don’t interact with the books when they have to move a bowl off of them to open them up. It looks beautiful, just wondering about the functionality.

    There’s so much more you and Jack have to offer than the latest material thing that will one day be in our basements collecting dust waiting for the next yard sale.
    Go deeper!
    Your marriage has stood the test of time.
    You still laugh together.
    Appears as though you’ve done a fantastic job as parents!

    Deeper into the things that are lasting and won’t go out of style.
    Much love to you and your family!❤️😘🤗

    What I've always wondered about putting books on a wooden/painted piece of furniture is does the book cover stick to the shelf or top of the item and cause damage? I know some books have linen covers but some of them look glossy. It must also cause a shading difference. I'd love to try it but I'm so afraid of wrecking my beautiful furniture. I love this type of instructional video x

      It would seem that the music comment could certainly be considered constructive, but attacking someone else’s personality and laugh is very rude and insulting.
