    All lights should be dimmed. We have exposed style led kitchen pendants. They work really well dimmed and provide sufficient lighting for most tasks

  • @MeanOldLady

    I like a good accent wall that's cohesive with the rest of the room & not a jarring contrast.
    I'm planning on a light to mid-toned (unlike the typical, dark, deep colors) tiki wall for my aquariums & plants that will frame everything together & not stick out like a sore thumb in my otherwise Boho-Japandi house. Framing it with gently carved, mid-toned, wood molding should do it justice & help it match the built-in book cases & provide balance.

    Fantastic tips! I've often wondered how the designers make LED strips look so seamless and elegant instead of garish. Also I've been guilty of the "everything in the same neutral" - I'm learning so much!! PS love your beige jumper -- looks beautifully polished on camera! Xo from Canada ❤️

    I love your video but don’t understand the disdain for mass produced art. Not many of us have the budget or the inclination to DIY art. I’ve gotten a lot of art from Target and Home Goods. They look pretty good. There are a few I regret. I’ve also gotten art off Etsy. I think if a piece of art work makes you happy, go for it!

    Hahaha! I peek my previous home in your cover photo. I’m the guilty party of painting over my door frame. To be fair, it was lockdown and I lost my job. So I was having a bit of fun. Would love to be credited for the photo even if it was poor design haha!

    I have a question for you ......why you point out the same design aspects which are dated, not pleasing to the eye, poor quality etc etc. You as an ID should tried not to do what others have done 7 months prior. Being original, daring and unique is a great part of ID.

  • @Talon97

    Agree 100% with the LEDs. They already look tacky and childish to begin with but thatns to online personalities every sheep out there wants to jump on the trend and put LEDs everywhere...

  • @elfchild9
    @elfchild9 Před 3 dny +5

    I really appreciate your distinction between the trend itself, and how badly/well it's executed. It changes the thought process from "I like this, but X picture makes it look tacky" to "I like this; how can I use it in a well-planned way?"

    You answered a question just by the simple phrase of, “You should only be displaying what is functional, sentimental or beautiful to you”. I recently replaced an ottoman with a coffee table. Everything I have is where I want it and I have been debating on whether I should get something to decorate it but deep down wanted it just with nothing. Same with my new end table. 😊😊.. Now I know that unless something with that criteria comes into my life, that is how they remain. ❤❤. Also, there is nothing neutral about my home. I need color. ❤ I have been a subscriber for about a month or so and I just love your channel.

  • @ghaywoood5

    While I agree on your last point about modernizing homes, a better location is certainly not an "exception" considering there's a whole "location location location" phrase.

    For years I didn't buy lamps because it seemed wasteful when we had so many can lights, but I started adding lamps in the last few years and it really makes a huge difference in creating mood and energy in our living space. Glad you touched on this topic
