Sometimes dated areas look far worse than they are because they are not clean. If it cannot be new or new looking, it must be CLEAN. Scrubbed in the corners with an old toothbrush clean. Magic Eraser clean. Touch up the bad paint or do a repaint. Sparkling clean helps bridge the gap until you can do an update. 😊
I totally agree no hinges are in right now. I personally love mine so we painted our cabinets the put the old school hinges back on and I love the look. So very cottage. Not for everyone but we have to do what makes us happy 😊
That's the attitude. What a boring world if all our homes look alike- Both with decor and structural.
A way to update short cabinets is to change the countertop and add a sink that sits on top. It works if changing the cabinets is too much.
I REALLY LIKE THIS IDEA!!!!
Actually the full mirror are making a come back in some of the newer homes. I actually like them. They have a fuller view and a cleaner look. I never understood putting a frame around them to make it look updated. Just one opinion of many.
I love my full mirror. In the master, the primary lighting goal is to be able to do your daily hygiene and put your makeup on. So FORM follows FUNCTION. I feel like a lot of times the function is put last on this channel. I wish it would be addressed a little bit more, PRIOR to what is the fashionable and cool asthetic. 😊
I agree. I updated my bathroom (new shower, floor, paint, etc) but I left the mirror as is. It’s very practical.
Agreed. Mine has LED lighting around the mirror that is activated by a hand wave. The wall to wall mirror makes a small bathroom look much bigger.
We just updated our 1968 bathroom and yes it had the low vanity, wall mirror and square tiles everywhere! We gutted it ourselves and updated everything! It is so lovely now, I can't believe it is our bathroom!
Re the large mirrors: before taking them down, be prepared to have to re-mud and re-do the wall behind it because builders often just trowel on a bunch of construction adhesive and stick them on. If you don’t see the little plastic brackets around the edges and the mirror appears to be held up by magic? That’s what you’re dealing with.
I recently decided I would do a minor re-make of my now adult daughters' hall bathroom. No window, built in 1999, 5x5 tiles in white with not too thick grout, thankfully. The Hollywood lighting was switched out in 2016. New flooring throughout most of the house, including the bathrooms, was installed in 2018. Plain laminate countertop and dated vanity. Surprisingly, homes in my area still sell for about the same price as updated homes and quickly, despite still having dated bathrooms and kitchens. Still, it is exciting to me to find inspiration in photos of black and white bathrooms. Now I'm painting the room a bright white (said I'd never have white walls again). I found lovely floor to ceiling curtains for the tub/shower and a complementary rug. I can see how paint and a few new furnishings will give the room new life. Thanks for the video. And yes, there was laminate in the small bathrooms and carpet in the primary. We couldn't afford a lot of increased pricing when we bought 25 years ago.
My house was built in late fifties and IS VERY dated with original fixtures and I LOVE them! :) BIG SECRET Do NOT allow "products" and wash cloths and towels to hang around your tub/shower! Along with being uugly, it is unsanitary. Yes I have the grout with my 1957 canary yellow 4X4 tile but NEVER a speck of mildew as i polish the ceramic DAILY- AND live in Louisiana (jungle heat) :) Love your channel SO MUCH Valentina!
Our bathrooms have almost everything you’ve mentioned! Maybe after we pay for our three boys’ college tuition, we’ll tackle them. 😊
Goals!
You have your priorities straight!!! What a blessing that you are in the position that you are in, 3 boys going to college, that’s amazing!! Good job momma!!! The updates that you want to do will give you something to spend your money on later!! This comment just caught my eye so I had to stop & give you a pat on the back!! Have a good evening
Family before vanity! (pardon the pun) 😅 Yes, you have your priorities in correct order. Bless you! So many are going into debt to keep up with the Joneses, and 10 years later, they have to do it again. It's futile.
My bathroom needs a huge make over. Thanks for the tips Valentina 😊
I rent. So I replaced the bulbs in my Hollywood lights, with LED vintage bulbs and I love it! It’s such a cool upgrade!
I’m so glad this was the next video. My master restroom has all that you mentioned 😂. We just finished remodeling my kitchen & let me tell you it came out so beautiful. Now time to update the restroom.
Do I have any of these in our bathroom? No, we have ALL of these!! 😂 But thank you for all the tips! Great advice, as always!
😂
Always look forward to your videos! Even if I can not do as much as I'd like right now, it's so fun to watch and be inspired! Thank you!
I recently moved into senior housing. An efficiency...the bathroom is carbon dated lol pink tiles. Pastel yellow kitchen cabinets lol. It is actually better than I expected lol. I thank God for it 😁 for now I will just admire yours lol
I rent a vintage apt in LA that has most of these issues, plus bright pink tile in the shower/tub area. I painted the tile white, which made a huge difference! Still have to get rid of the Hollywood light fixture, the big mirror, and i want to replace the sink/faucet. My landlord likes the improvements.
The natural wood vanity is best and classic.
I’m stuck with some stuff but!!! One of the first things I did 20 years ago was remove my tub/shower glass sliding doors. It’s remarkably simple. All I did after figuring out how to dispose of the beast, was fill in the innocuous holes it left. No big deal but huge reward. Did some light replacement too and replaced the builder mirror with two individuals. Also hard to dispose of. Painted the vanity and replaced fixtures but still dealing with the 80s countertop and odd structure. Maybe someday. Til now, all this was done by myself. Go Carol! 💃😄
Yesssss! I have done something I like in my bathroom… nothing dated!! thanks for sharing V!! Nice video!! Blessings!!
Very few things are timeless in interior design. As a designer myself I go classic all the way in my own home as I don't like to change things every 5 years or so. Bad design or outdated trends keep us in business so I am all for it!
I recently updated the shower in my master bath, but still have the rest of the dated items including the large mirror, the jacuzzi bath (hate it)😢, the builder’s grade cabinet set (painting it soon), and the spotlight lighting. The updated shower included the sheets of stone minus the grout and it looks fantastic. Thank you for sharing your tricks and tips. They will very helpful for my projects this fall!❤
Love this thanks for the style and organization
I agree with a lot of your takes. However… that big box painting behind you in every vid MUST go. It says nothing about who you are. Please find an artist you love and commission a piece. You’ll love it, care for it, and have an emotional attachment to the piece-and we will be able to see that. We should never have art in our home that is disposable. I’ll die on that hill. 😉
Love the video!! So many great tips!!! We purchased our 2013 home two years ago and we’ve been doing updates ever since. Weird that a 2013 house needs updates! Bathrooms, the master especially, has many of these dated things. HUGE jetted corner tile tub, huge walled mirror, tiles of a variety of differ ugly patterns, ugly lighting, peachy poopy walls…ugh! Changing the walls to white, trim and doors are tricorn black…it’s the tile and that tub….that’s where the work is.
The best thing I have found to clean Jacuzzi tubs with is vinegar & finish soap that you use in your dishwasher. Fill the tub up to the jets and put in vinegar and finish and turn the jets on, watch all the mold come out and run it for a while then drain the tub, and repeat!!
I’m 77 and my 25 year old retirement log home in the woods is definitely a bit outdated. But except for the dreaded white tiles it’s not too bad. I’m pretty sure there will be no ripping out of a bathroom in my future at this point and I don’t hate it, adore my huge soaker tub,. I’m a bath person, some go ick, but I do top it off with a icy shower. 😏The one thing I’m thinking about doing is swapping out my silk flowers for greens but trying not to be too “influenced “. Enjoy your content.
Love the video , will like one like that for Kitchens
I’m getting ready for a bathroom update cause subfloor needs to be redone. Thanks, this video answers a lot of my questions.
If I like it, why does it matter? I'm not selling my house for a long time, and by then, tastes and trends will have changed several times. What I have now could actually be in style again.
Or if you decide you want to sell the place, you can give it a reno then. No reason to do it if it's functional and you like it.
Most people watching want a bathroom that looks contemporary, but some of us are interested anyway, although our tastes aren't trending.
Of course. This channel is for those viewers who are interested in updating their home. I’m sure professionals are also taking notes as well.
I'm not being rude, but why are you watching this channel? Maybe find something else you're interested in. I love interior design, and I adore HOV. ❤
A neighbor redid her bathrooms before putting her house on the market. The people that bought the house are in the process of gutting those brand new bathrooms ☹️
@@tanyaflynn4908 just because someone isn't interested in following trends doesn't mean they don't like to know what they are. I don't follow trends and I have my own style but I love interior design of all types and never know where I will get inspiration so I follow lots of home design channels
You can also paint tile and fixtures. Use a good primer first.
Yep. The jetted tub and wall to wall mirrors were the first thing to go when I purchased a new home. The mirrors were repurposed to the home gym.
Got some of those and I'm working on eliminating them already switched out the mirrors faucets tile but those short cabs will cost a lot to replace.
Yes! I’m tall and love a taller vanity!
I bought a brand new home in a hurry to move in 2021, and it has the 90's vibes, the wall to wall mirror in the bathrooms, cherry cabinets, tile and wall to wall carpet. It looks so dated from day 1, but my husband is ok with it.
GIRL!, I’ve got full on 80’s pink tile, pink sink, floral accent tiles with an original jacuzzi tub with the dial on the wall… including the cave show but at the very least the shower have a big window lol and all the grout has been kept very clean over the decades. 😂
We had a new inventory build 5 years ago and the builder insisted on “upgrading” the master to a garden tub and separate shower with one of those awful metal framed doors that makes the sucking sound when you open it. Such. A. Nightmare. To. Clean. I never wanted it and owning it confirms that I still never want it.
Honestly, we now live in a 1970’s ranch home with one full bath on the main level (no master suite), and even with 4 kids, it’s heavenly. I’m soooo much happier with the downgrade (there’s a second full bath in the finished basement). No more doors (shower curtain), no massive garden tub, no big wet spaces to clean. We’ve already painted the walls, and we do want to update the fixtures and mirror, so this video is super helpful. And as stunning as those glass showers look… I don’t know, the shower curtain has always been the easiest and mode functional for us 😬😬😬. Feels like heresy to say that but… so far, it’s true.
it is so funny you mentioned the height of a cabinet. I am pretty tall 5'9", but my daughter has dwarfism. Needless to say, toilet heights and sink heights are in great debate in my house! We just remodeled her bathroom, and had to look far and wide to find a compromise. We ended up with an off the shelf cabinet from Home Depot. Go figure.
Yes, my bathroom is outdated. Every time I go to a resort I’m always taking tips on how they did the bathrooms. Right now I’m loving the large rectangular tiles with little to no grout lines.
My parents bought a 1960s rambler that had carpet in the primary bathroom that was original to the house. 😳 I was there when they tore it out and OMG 😖😖😖
I imagine parts of it crawled out by itself. 😅
My bathroom has a triple sconce over the mirror that is super chrome-y and not cute, the walls are also painted fuchsia so it's definitely time for an upgrade.
I’ve got pink, burgundy, yellowy cream with orange pine cabinets. Rose vine feature tiles. Main bathroom has a badly painted burgundy crown moulding. Have to be careful getting into the cast iron bath or it tips. Took down the heavy floral Austrian blinds that were falling apart. Enough said. Going to paint the main bathroom soon. Yay.
12:10 bulbs from the 90s!!
I’m so guilty of many of those! 😂 I know we need a remodel, but it’s super intimidating.
well if you're having it done by a company then they should help you make sure what you're picking goes together at least. its' good to Pinterest or cut out magazine photos of what you like. then you can narrow down what you like and the person at the installation company can narrow down choices so you don't see everything, just things you'll like. if you can afford to hire someone they'll help but a lot of tile and flooring places or cabinet places will offer free suggestions so you don't have things that don't work together at the very least.
Lowes and Home depot vanity & hardware. I also love my giant mirror but I was thinking about framing it with a thin black frame.
OMG Valentina! Every time I watch your videos I get poorer! Seriously though, I am looking to update my bathroom (with the thick framed bubbled glass and the tiled inset tub and the Hollywood lights) so glad you did this video! At least you gave me some direction. :-)
What are your thoughts on high gloss larger tiles for shower walls?
Oh I would say the worst bathrooms I’ve seen are in Sedona Arizona!
Right now I live in Iowa. Our new old house has had the 3 bathrooms remodeled. They are all pretty good. Well for 10 + years ago. I do have a jetted tub, surrounded by like a larger marbled slate tile. Looks nice. No problem keeping it clean. And the bathroom is huge, so it doesn’t take up too much space. It does have a shower & a separate toilet room with a door. It has a floor to ceiling built in which is nice. It does have the full mirror though. Lighting are just like ceiling puck lights.
The other 2 are just showers, toilet & sinks. They have glass enclosures, honey comb tiles & scones, with hanging mirrors. They all look pretty good.
My bathroom is very 2006. Tile counters, ugly hardware and sinks, tacky light fixtures… the works. 😂
We’ve been on our house for almost 8 years and working slowly to update. We are trying to finish up our kitchen and then the master bedroom and bathroom is our 2024 project and I can’t wait.
Lol. I have the white square tiles in my bathroom. My house is only 5 years old, but we had a budget to stay on when we had it built. I don’t mind them too much. They are hidden behind a shower curtain. Our backsplashes are neutral tiles, so it doesn’t look outdated. I doubt I’ll be replacing them anytime soon. I understand the look you are talking about though. Your videos are so fun! I don’t get upset by the things you say. My house is always a work in progress.
i love the white tile. it's a crisp and clean look. tile looks bad because grout gets moldy. just keep it clean.
I agree! We bought a 1960s house and the bathroom we are renovating has a mostly-tiled wall and shower enclosure to ceiling in square neutral white tiles. The tiles are in perfect condition and bounce light around the bathroom. As I said, they are very neutral and pristine and I'm keeping them! We are changing everything else (floor, vanity, sinks, plumbing, toilet). Oh, yes, we are also keeping the original bathtub which is in great condition. We are saving a ton of money with this approach.
WE HAVE ALL OF THIS! mInus the carpet. we have been renting for 10 years! at first we were like we cant change anything because we wont be here forever.. well it feels like forever now ahahaha. i have slowly started to update little things and id like to do more. its just that fear of wasting money on a home that isnt mine. I guess i could keep all the updates and take them with me when we move.
Haha as I look at my master bath with its Hollywood lights with only one lightbulb, wall mirror, and the china hardware with pink roses. Definite 70's vibes 🤣
I noticed some darker grays on the counter and flooring combined with beige and lighter woods I think in some of the examples you were showing. Are these safe to use as grays make their way out? I love the look; do you think those grays are sticking around?
What are your thoughts on wall mount fixtures like faucets and toilets?
We bought a house that was only 4 years old - and the first thing I said to my husband is the bathrooms are outdated. How can a new house have outdated bathrooms??! And gross was exactly the word I used for the grouted tile in the shower. Three years later - I'm still climbing into that gross shower! Loved the tips! Hoping to make some small adjustments till I can afford a big redo.
Love your content Valentina kind of not related..but can you do episodes on how to make your home smell amazing?? Also I saw where Nate Berkus burns insense in his home and I too recently started doing this Looove the smokey scents they offer for fall scents. I also purchased this cool falcon cone burner from Cb2.. Any suggestions on luxury insense or cones!!! You rock❤❤❤
I agree about most of these tips but don't have a problem with those wall to wall mirrors. Especially in very small bathrooms they can work fine, because you get the illusion of a bigger one. But I can't even understand that wall to wall carpet was ever okay or allowed in a wet area. 😮😮😮 We have building standards in Sweden, to avoid mold and water damage. I hope you have it these days in the US as well. 😊
Hi Valentina, I was hoping you’d say something about the toilet. I’m weighing the different choices such as ADA, one-piece, rounded, etc. Any advice?
The raised sinks that sit on the counter are dated, but they still seem quite popular so they´re probably very much in.. just not in my world😄
hate those raised sinks. i think they are dated, but trying to be cool. they are not cool!
I am about to start a Master Bath remodel. Right now I have lights above my vanities and was wondering what will give me the best light for making up my face and skin care, should I continue using the lights over the vanity or lights that flings the side of each
vanity? I was planning on putting a standard builder grade mirror over my two vanity because I can’t come up with any other ideas. I am used to having a full mirror in my bathroom across the entire vanity which help reflects the light from my window, and it just make it appear brighter and bigger. Any suggestions l 16:27 would be welcome. Thank you!
This can help us reach a 5 star quality bathroom in our own home! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We have remodeled our Masterbath and it looks great! Large format porcelain tiles, very open large shower with only one large shower glass wall…no doors (less squeegee-ing!) We also put in a large stand alone tub. I’m just wondering when this tub trend will look outdated???
15:07 90s cubes!!
omgsh, I was happy w my remode until now. But I was hoping you would do something w the bathroom, lol. It's time to rethink and start w a complete overhaul.
Omg I have so much dated stuff in my bathroom, both of them lol. Jetted tub that actually leaks. White tile on the floor, the brass shower. You should see the pocket lights I’ve never seen anything like it. Previous owners did nothing to this house we found out. Already had to do the roof, windows. I live in the money pit.
Can you give some backsplash ideas for gully and bathrooms? Thanks
😩 have most of these mentioned! ( minus carpet but add linoleum 😅)Wish I had the money to remodel.
What should I do since I moved in to a new construction home and it has some of the things you mentioned and It took all of my budget and then some. Everyone thinks I am cra cra for wanting to make changes.
Oh, forgot to say I am obsessed with design and 73 so I don't have a lot of time to save up. Thankful for any suggestions.
budget and I am 73
We have a semi custom new built and choose a simple jet tub, not a free standing tub. No regrets. Baths are part of our relaxation and rejuvenating of mind and body.
One thing with glass shower enclosures to be careful with - is *sudden temperature changes.*
If the glass is cold, and you put hot water on it - THE GLASS WILL EXPLODE!
😮😮😮
You never mentioned anything about prefabricated showers or the garden tubs also fabricated. This will be my next bathroom project. I hate them but all builders are using them. I wish you could have touched on that subject a bit.
Enclose glass showers all the way when possible. My friend did an open glass door look. But she needed to put up a shower curtain because her floor kept getting wet!
Again, form should follow function. People are too concerned with what looks good, but not what functions well.
Her shower is too small then. Glass is very expensive. Nearly tripled in price.
@@number6396 This makes no sense.. Can you explain?
What about bathrooms with no natural light? Struggling for ideas for my jack and Jill. Light and bright? 🤷🏻♀️
We just changed out the sconces in our windowless half bath and it made a huge difference.
Light colored walls and bring that same color onto the ceiling so it doesn’t cut the room down. Think pale, doesn’t have to necessarily be white. Also, a very large mirror, even those typical frameless ones that are usually stock in bathrooms (but frame it out with some trim molding) and of course, like Valentina said, lighting. Overhead can brighten, but it’s not flattering, so adding wall sconces would help with a cooler bulb, not warm. ( if you have the option to do so)
The octagonal window is way outdated!!!
I rent an apartment from the 1930s and the 4x4 pale pink tiles with the black trim make me cringe every time I go into the bathroom. Dream of buy a small home with a spa bathroom. Really enjoyed your ideas in this video
I also rent a vintage apt (in LA), that has bright pink tiles in the shower/bathtub area. I painted them white with a product called Beyond Paint. It took four coats plus two coats of clear on top, but it has lasted a year, so far, and has completely changed the look of my bathroom! I got permission first from the landlord.
@@luckygirl1939 Unfortunately, the tiles are not just in the shower and around the tub. They also cover over half of the remaining three walls. Not worth all the money and work when I don't own the property. Great idea though and glad it worked for you.
Free standing tubs are a fall hazard!! Beautiful but not practical
What is the cost per square foot on redoing a bathroom? I like the look of a free standing tub but won't they go out of style like everything else? Is tub a must in a master bathroom?
What I don't like about free standing tubs is trying to clean around them, especially behind them. I predict they will quickly go out of style for people who don't have a cleaning service.
@@willsx2 i came here to say exactly this. When we built our home 10 years ago, before the rage of free standing tubs, i chose against it due to the cleaning part. Also they just are not as comfortable to me.
I'm so curious and to date, I have not had an answer to my question, so hoping you can help Valentina!
Why do most new and/or renovated showers in the US still have a hob? For those who don't know what this is, it's the raised edge at the base, often the height of a single course of bricks.
I'm in Australia, and it's very rare to see these constructed anymore. I'd say 99% of showers are built using a screed bed over a waterproof membrane, then tiled, so no need for a hob.
@janewest-qg5hd I see hobless showers in really high end properties in the US. I was in NSW (now ACT). I built a house in Sydney about 20 years ago and opted for a hobless shower. I'm now in an apartment in Canberra. The building is 15 years old and... wait for it...hobless shower.
I think it's more than just building regulations (not sure what planning laws have to do with it?).
In the US that's a curbed shower. Theoretically It holds the water in the shower. Personally I have three showers and they are all curbless (after remodel). I have a wheelchair user, however, and curbless is mandatory for our needs.
Not a fan of free standing tubs bc they are hard to clean around, don’t hold the heat, and are too small for us tall people. I’m looking for an artistic option to update a built in soaking tub….ours is pristine but it’s difficult to update the rest of the room without changing it too…..😢
The bathrooms in the home we rent check off all the things except carpet:
Builder mirrors? ✔️
Hollywood lights? ✔️
Giant Mold-harboring jetted tub? ✔️
Raised panel cabinets with crappy MDF frames? ✔️
Sliding shower door with giant brass frame? ✔️
Restoration Hardware has the nicest hardware for kitchens and bathrooms. Pottery Barn and Restoration Hardware’s vanities are beautiful. Basins on top of the bathroom vanities are out of style. Laminate is not a good choice for bathroom floors because they can expand if they get wet, a better choice is vinyl or luxury vinyl flooring.
I love watching you style things. But
those globes by the fireplace give Target vibes.
I’m just curious, what is considered to be
a “older home”
A nice bathroom makes a huge difference in a home.
If your bathroom is grey... redo 😂
❤
😢 well, at least I don’t have carpeting in my bathrooms! I’m working on the horrid Hollywood lights & mirrors now!
I have a hard time with throw rigs I want something pretty and classic….
I never could understand carpeting in the bathroom. Gross! If you are redoing your floor with tile, really consider large tiles with less grout lines. My type installer did me a great favor when installing tile around the toilet to pace the tiles in such a way to minimize grout line.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💛
You guys know about the aromatic oils love affair the one that is 50$ well, I found one that smells just like it if not better for 7$ at hobby lobby. Is by the candle section. It's called uplift no 02. I recommend since you guys love hotel smells. It's awesome we have it in our defuser right now.
I hate grout. It's hard to clean and the grout deteriorates and then water gets behind the tile. I did manmade marble in my families house when we had to redo it. It wasn't expensive, it wasn't cheap but it was like $3k (2019) and it was 3 large pieces instead of all those tiles, the plus is that where the house is, there are earthquakes and I've seen that make tiles pop off the walls and having 3 big pieces they move a bit but don't pop off so they're wall to tub or floor (2 bathrooms) and the entire wall is protected from the water that could cause damage. It might look dated in a few years but I won't have to change it because it's failed. In the house I live in how we have a big jetted tub, I hate it, we've tried to clean it so many times and black stuff still comes out. I want to replace it with a big free standing soaking tub. I hate dealing with mold and grout, so the easier and smoother surfaces are the more I like them.
Our guest bathroom has the Hollywood lights. Our house was built in the 90s. Eventually when we redo the bathroom we will change it but for now we're like, it's there and it works. The bathroom is clean so that's all we care about right now lol. I would love to redo both bathrooms and the kitchen and have something sleeker and modern.
We had carpet in our bedrooms but not the bathrooms, when I was a kid we had carpet but it was removable. It had a rubber back like a bathmat so we could wash it. We did once a month. We had linoleum under it but ya wall to wall carpet, eww.
We have the huge mirrors as well, the guest bath is plain but the master bath has a frame. My hubby loves it, I'd prefer 2 mirrors, one over each sink but he likes it. When we do redo our bathroom we will change that though.
You didn’t bring it up but the long vanity with 2 sinks is a ridiculous waste of space and looks ugly and just screams 1980s/90s. Did they call those jack and jill sinks maybe?? Plus as a single person, I find it offensive - not every jack has a jill and not every jill has a jack! 🤷♀️🤷♂️🤣 I lived in a rental like that once and to me, it just took up space and looks goofy anyway.
I’d love to have the counter space instead of two sinks. IMO it’s rare for two adults to be needing the actual sink simultaneously anyway.
Well… you know mine is! 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Ha!
carpet in the bathroom??? A petri dish for bacteria
Renters are like 😔
My daughter rented an apartment in Seattle for 6 yrs. She added peel and stick wallpaper in her bathroom, changed out the light fixture and the mirror and it was amazing. Changed the cabinet hardware throughout the place, took down the blinds and added curtains. Threw huge area rugs over outdated carpet, even painted an accent wall in the living room. Kept everything stored in a hall closet and changed it all back (even fresh white paint) when she finally bought her home. But for those 6 yrs her apartment felt like a home and it was seriously stunning. You can work around the all white rentals.
@@Faithb73 I wish in Ireland one could do the same. In terms you sort of can, but even in the leases the landlord prohibits people from sticking anything to do walls before talking to them. Not only that, most rentals here have this very easy to chip paint, so it is a real struggle. On top of that, everything is ultra dated.
@@bruninhamrso oh gosh, I’m so sorry. You can’t even put pictures on the wall? If that’s the case, I’d add lots of houseplants, wall screens and large mirrors you could lean against the wall. Art of any kind that will draw your eye toward it instead of the outdated space. Even a cardboard box, people can make a home, with the right imagination.
@@Faithb73 I agree that when there is a will there's a way. I am sure to use my imagination and figure something out. The main thing is the hardware in the flat. Omg, I feel disgusted to touch no matter how much you clean. 🙃
@@bruninhamrso 😂😂 I’ve lived in a few places like that myself! Just think, all the crud you touch will just give you immunity to everything else! 😜 we must think positive!
Is my bathroom dated? Yes, both of them.
I would like to ask a question or two. Why do we not see any of your decorating at clients homes? We only see the same shot of where you are sitting now. Other decorating shows like Rebbeca Robinson show us from beginning project to end. Do you in fact have a decorator license? I am an interior decorator and we were taught to work with clients on their tastes and what they want their house to feel like, not what we want or our tastes or tell them everything they have is “out dated”. Then laugh at everything. I could say to you your house looks very cold,no color at all, cheap paintings and laugh at you, but that is so rude! Let’s see some of your work and not shopping in IKEA etc.
I do share some of them. A lot of my clients want to protect their privacy and they don't want to be featured on our channels. The other thing is that if the design isn't in alignment with our aesthetic we'll do the work but not feature it also.
Carpet and toenails? Big spa tubs with jets? Hygienically disgusting. Think about it. I laughed out loud at both of those! But, I do not agree with your criticism of the square tiles, large mirrors or lower cabs. You showed gross moldy tiles. Keep them clean and they are fine. Large mirrors are not easy to remove. It's dangerous and removal usually destroys the sheetrock. All glass products (including shower enclosures) are expensive today. Stick with your mirrors and save $. But, yes, adding a frame is a good idea. Lastly, I'm short and have a wheelchair user so we love the lower cabs.
