What do you recommend for a small bedroom setup... I just moved and have a small bedroom now.. I have a queen sized bed with storage underneath which helps alot with not having a lot of space and closet storage. but what would you recommend for bed layout with a chest of drawers?? I've moved the bed 3 times so far and I'm not 100% happy with it.. trying to have the most open space i can in the room without having to put the bed against a wall... any ideas and tips are welcomed

Hi 👋 Suzanne, can I talk to you for a moment?
Notes for myself - make it neat and minimalistic - lamps. Make it look nice when you turn off the ceiling lights - arrange furniture for an experience. Avoid putting it up against the wall. - consider putting products in simple jars you label with a cricut to make it look nice (I already have a Cricut) - put pillows in cases too small for them so they'll look more fluffy and stand up better - white towels
REALLY agree with you on Lamps! I'm an Electrician, and for me recessed lighting is great for "soft fill in light in certain areas, but nothing gives a home that warm feeling than lamp light.
While warm white walls can make a home look more 'expensive', they are not always practical for households with children or multiple pets. The other problem with using only whites and neutrals is that, after awhile, all the houses start to look alike! I've learned that using a neutral color like pale gray, cream, or light beige is a great idea for hallways and as the main color throughout, but use coordinating colors in individual rooms, either painting a whole room in color or an accent wall. Some intense colors like burgundy, pumpkin, deep hunter green, or indigo blue is just as expensive-looking as white if the furnishings are well chosen. I have made and sold pillow covers in the past, and agree--the insert needs to be full! Also, thrift stores are absolutely a great way to make a home look classy without breaking the bank. Here in Florida, even many antique stores have quality items for great prices, and will often have a mix of both antique and newer furnishings.
The very best idea is getting rid of product packaging and using glass bottles with labels. It just looks so much better!...I enjoy your videos because you give such helpful advice and everything you decorate looks so beautiful.

I would say an exception to the dishes rule, is fine china. Beautiful different plates that have different flowers on each plate or different scalloped edges or what not are really all beautiful, and when the table is set with fine China of different types it just looks glorious. There is an exception to every rule and I believe this is one of them. I also don’t mind beautiful glassware that’s not all the same. For example, some etched glassware, some glassware with gold fittings or gold edging, some fluted glassware, and colored glassware such as yellow or pink,ect. do not need to match at a dinner table and they still look beautiful.
Inspired by your cushion cover hack… I implemented my own hack; fold in a big towel or two to make a square shape and put it inside the cushion’s cover. This way it’s fuller and yes it does look better and more plush. Bonus, I got to use my mismatch bath towels in the process!
Love your videos but just an FYI from dental hygienist…dont leave tooth brush out…when people flush without closing lid…poop aerosols fill the air and land on what is exposed…so if you dont want to brush with poop..put your brush in a drawer.

I changed to all white towels and sheets when we downsized and we keep way less around. No need for a linen closet as we keep 4 towels in each bathroom and one extra set of sheets, a blanket and a pillow in a container under each bed. I donated three full garbage bags of the old ones to the local animal shelter and they were glad to get them. So don't throw yours out!!

We always put them back for cleaning rags. If we had plenty for cleaning we took the rest to the animal shelter. I would have never thought of that until I heard someone asking if anyone had some they could donate. She was volunteering at the animal shelter and explained how badly they needed them.

I would love to see these tips in a colorful/patterned/victorian context! White walls make me feel as far from home as it gets
Some of the best inexpensive dishes are at the dollar store. I have dollar store dishes I've had for a decade. Strong, no chips... Great option.
I'm moving into my dad's house in a month which was built in the 70s and has NEVER been updated 😅. I'm so excited/nervous to make it my own and hopefully make it actually look nice
Good tips for making any space look cozy and nice. I agree, most people won't even notice, but some people know luxury better than the rest. Calcutta marble floor, Mahogany wood etc. No amount of decoratiom can really replace the true value of material. There's a difference between style and class, people who know it, know it very well.
I am an (almost) 50 yo who has struggled with not having the decorator’s gene since I got married at the age of 21. THANK YOU SO MUCH for making a video that seems so simple that even I can follow!

one Thanksgiving, my younger sister (who had never been to my house before), told me that my home that is filled with beautiful cherry and other wood furniture, oriental rugs, original art, old crystal etc that my house looked like an "estate sale"! I laughed in her face. She hasn't been back.
I do the pillow thing and buy the inserts two inches bigger than the covers. It's one of the best pieces of advice ever given!
I just found this channel moved to my new house and painted chantilly lace. I love decorating! I usually find an item or piece of furniture I love and decorate from there. I found black velvet high barstools for kitchen island, with gold legs. And went from there. I found black coffee table with gold legs, and lamp. Looks elegant and luxurious . I softened the look with a fur black rug under coffee table, and my accessories are warmed with wood bowls on my kitchen table with fruit. Wood bowls on my coffee table , with gold pineapple. I have black and gold wall hangers with plants in them. I find the fur throw blankets really warm a room plus make it look luxurious. I found black and white fur animal print throw for my couch. I changed my knobs on kitchen cupboards to black and my faucet to black. My cupboards I painted white
You can also turn your tv into Art display to decorate your rooms! I have created screensavers for this and my family and friends really enjoy them! 😄
Regarding plates, dishes, and cups inside the kitchen cabinets, doing what you said is desirable but unnecessary if the cabinets are not glass or see-through, because after all, who is going to be looking inside those cabinets? Some people may not be able to afford doing this as there may be other priorities. I am a person who is easily affected by living conditions in my home environment, hating clutter and disorganization, because it imparts a bad feeling inside me, so I do enjoy listening to these kinds of videos which give you useful ideas although I am already a natural at home decorating. I think that even if a home is on the humble side, as long as things are kept clean and organized, that alone is good enough. Thanks.

I am an absolute white lover, I love the colour white, I used several shades of whites in the same room to add subtle tones, but I think there are many times that a splash of colour been a neutral or a colour you love can really bring a room to life. I have white dinner plates etc and use my late parents dinner plates etc as well. It brings a level of sophistication too any dinner table. If you want to try this but don’t have an older style dinner set hit the charity shops garage sales etc. I agree with having 3 items grouped together, but also have collections of 5 & 7 as in nature and floral arrangements.

Your self-motivation and the authentic, down-to-earth manner in which you document your life on camera are truly admirable. and I'm genuinely grateful for the opportunity to discover your channel.
Thank you this has really helped me with my flat pillows
You’re really completely right about buying a larger filler for every pillow size. I would add that to make it look more expensive there should be more detail. Piping on the pillows are some kind of trim. Nice quality fabrics really help. I think they going for that plain restoration hardware Pottery Barn style can look like a model house but not in the ideal way. Generic is never high-end.
Absolutely love this. You make creating a beautiful, calm and peaceful space that can be done little by little…
The Peony is my favorite scent too!!!!!!

Wonderful! I am getting started now to refresh my entire home. Thank you for the ideas; from paint to pillows!! Wow!!
Love the pillow insert/cover trick!!
I am always careful about scents. A lot of those sprays have chemicals in them that you breathe in and if you spray daily, its not very good. Oils and things like that are a little better, but often those also have chemicals for artificial smells as well. For some reason I love it when my house smells like I just cooked. lol So whenever I'm having guests, I always make sure I cook something right before with some garlic, spices, Italian seasoning and it works great for me. I also burn some wood in the fireplace and it adds to the cozy feeling.
Great video 😊💚 please do a more detailed video on furniture placement and wall decor. Thank you

1st time viewer. Your suggestions were fabulous. I will view other videos. Thanks!!
I love the thought of having my home look more elegant, like a hotel, but my partner and I are interested in a balance of hotel-y-ness and personalized home-y-ness. Do you have any ideas about what rooms or areas should be more hotel-y and what should be more cozy, and what kinds of decorations are more hotel-y (like a starter, generic decoration until you find a personal item…?) Thank you so much, and this video is brilliant!!
These are great tips!! Love them!!

Hi 👋 Steph, can I talk to you for a moment?
Hi Kristen. Everything looks wonderful! A tiny tip - Don't label the jars. We can see what's in it. If you feel two things look to similar, and you may have a mix up - place the labels below the bottles or jars. 🇹🇹 Angel from Trinidad 🇹🇹
Peonie, Lilacs & some lillies are my favorite flowers for the scents :)
I was blown away by the design wisdom shared in this video. It really offers accessible and achievable strategies for creating a high-end look in your home. It's an excellent resource for those looking to maximize their home's visual appeal on a budget.
I love all your tips and tricks. The only one I don’t like is the white walls. I just bought a new home and it has all white walls and I can’t stand it. To me, white is dull and boring. I like color, even if its just neutrals, but I need some color. So now I have to start picking out colors for my walls because I don’t want one single room to be white. I prefer to have a color on the wall and then have a bright white on the doors, trim, and ceilings. Then the white looks nice and pops off whatever color you choose.

Me too! I love color. I think you can still achieve the same high end level with color... I seen it before.... I can't do the all white. I love grouping of art advice for me.
Great tips... I love everything you do! xo

She makes me want to redo everything and that is AWESOME
I loved the way you described each and every detail in the simplest way. Loved your video
Kristen, another great video, thank you! I love the ideas for the bathroom, my concern is does the toothpaste dry out?
I've never thought of using a pump for toothpaste!!

I like the idea but most toothpaste is sold in tubes, so a bit tricky and messy to decant.

What colors would you recommend for a large black couch? The goal I am going for is a study look.

Do you like Benjamin Moore Hale Navy? I think studies that have deep colors are really beautiful. Dark blue and also deep green look good with black. 💙
