    Valentina would you consider doing a segment on ceiling fans or fans with lights and what type would look ok with different room styles. We live in the desert where air conditioning with fans are so important but soooo ugly.
    Thanks for another great video.

New knobs on our dresser, new couch pillows, new throws, candles, vases (thank you H&M!), cleaning my windows, washing down my kitchen cabinets, tidying up my master bedroom, etc. Lot’s more to do (mostly outside, but it will get done!!!!) Loved these tips Valentina!

  • @lisagorman2480
    @lisagorman2480 Před 23 dny +7

    I think you're on to something about how we are an "instant gratification" generation. And we are paying for it. It's a very good reminder that creating a home is a process, and I believe rooms should look collected, heirlooms, antiques, vintage fabrics and furniture and personal objects included. I also agree that small, simple "glow-ups" like updating some aspects of the home can have a huge impact. I have to disagree with you over the faux florals and greens. IMO, which of course is not anything but my opinion, they cheapen the space and are absolutely not more sustainable- full of "forever" chemicals which will eventually fill up the landfills. So much more elevating to clip some things from your yard or grow perennials that you can use in your home over all the seasons! Just my thoughts.

  • @kristinapreedy7069

    I’ve made my own honey do list for around the house. Since starting my DIY reno in June last year, I do as much as I can with things I have around the house (which has been a lot) and choose to spend a little money on paint and tools. It’s been worth every cent. Decluttering is so powerful and has restored my soul. It may not be perfect but I’m doing what I can when I can and being kind to myself.

  • @dianedionisio1250

    In ikea my mom said “ugh! I hate faux plants!” They were actually the real plant section under artificial lighting and she was flabbergasted.
    I think it’s silly we are so high brow about faux greenery when they are becoming so good and of course so practical and we can’t always even easily tell real vs fake
    Have fun with faux!

    Hei igjen Valentina! In Norway and The Nederlands the trend now is to paint everything ...ceiling walls trim doors...everything in the same colour 😮. I must say I almost become sick to my stomach. I feel like I get choked in a powder box. I go with the classic rule; ceiling, trims and doors in white(ish) and tones on walls. I believe that "lifts" my eyes and the room feels spacious. But I have done the same "crazy" as yu...I painted the fireplace in stoneBrown and its stunning 😊
    Thank you for always inspiring tips. Regards to Jack! ❤

    @firestick4991 Před 23 dny +8

    I’ve been painting one room, one wall at a time. Then I do the ceiling last, when all is out of the way. You shouldn’t try and do it all at once, especially when you have stuff in there. You have to put it somewhere when you are painting. If you clear out the whole room, it gets… complicated and intimidating. If you just start small, you build momentum as you go. Before you know it, it’s all done!
    Also, don’t get caught up in _OVER_ prepping. It’s a great way to stall when you’re simply too chicken to _actually_ get it done!

  • @janetholley1004
    @janetholley1004 Před 22 dny

    I think for a lot of us these days that may be on a fixed income can save a little at a time if we have our eye on something like a light fixture that may be a little more expensive. Estate sales can have some great finds. Like you said don't think about doing everything at once, Rome wasn't built in a day. It's fun to make plans and have dreams, keep inspiring us with your decor knowledge. thanks Valentina your a jewel!

    Great video V, little by little is how I’ve been able to transform my home into the way I want it after our renovations and I THOUGHT that I wanted the HAMPTONS STYLE, But, after watching your videos I realised That I Didn’t Want That At All, so I’ve been going from room to room just changing out the decor in each room, I already had the canvas of the paint on the walls, it was just How I Was Styling Our Home and it Feels So Liberating to do it this way, I have two beautiful Boucle chairs in my tv room with two beautiful black cushions sitting on them and I have Boucle cushions on our bed, makes all the difference just the little things. Thanks To You for sharing your creativity and inspiration and experience here on your channel. 🖤🖤🤍🤍

    V. I need guidance on “closed storage.” You use RH but I live in an apartment so need more flexibility in sizes. When does it sit on the floor to anchor a space? When should it be on legs? Does it have to match other furniture legs? Huge investment pieces if I buy RH. I LOVE your aesthetics and design. TY.

    • @firestick4991
      @firestick4991 Před 23 dny

      Legs are good for lightness, but too many legs, especially long ones all over the place, can start to look busy. It’s good to have an even mix. Short legs are a good go-to if you’re just not sure.

    Beware of Craigslist or fb marketplace...please people be careful. Bed bugs are almost to impossible to detect on sofa or upholstered chairs. My poor daughter lived in in apartment and they went thru the ductwork. They had so much thrown out because they went thru every room. It's so hard and so expensive to get rid of. I would rather save for 10 years or use couch slip covers. Please think twice. Especially if the sofa is sitting in their garage.

    the key to making pillows on the sofa look lux you buy an insert that is bigger than the pillow cover OR you use 2 inserts in one pillow cover. gives them a super plump pillow! it was what you do in showrooms (i used to work in one) the showrooms also do that with duvet inserts , using 2 in a duvet cover to make it all look like a fluffy cloud. Tricks of the trade 🙂

    I realize the company you are promoting is probably one of the best out there but all of a sudden it seems like you’ve fallen in love with Faux flowers. If I am correct, you would please recommend a 8ft or taller faux tree that you absolutely love, I would appreciate it.
