I love that you’ve been showing more peaks into the coffee table books you have. I find that the most frustrating thing about purchasing books online, is that you can’t always see a preview of what’s inside so I appreciate you sharing more of that!

Agreed! Could you please tell us the Authors/Publishers of the ZANZIBAR book - couldn't find a link for it and would love to purchase! xoxo From Canada!

I am so jealous of the way your husband looks at you! I think everyone needs a jack look at them the way he looks at you! You are so damn sweet together! Happy weekend you two and your family! ☕️

Agreed he’s a darling

‘What to collect while traveling’ I love the idea! Also, how to pack and ship back the bulky, heavy and awkwardly shaped items. 😁

I grew up being scared of dogs. When I would visit friends they would kindly put their dogs outside for me. Then in my late 30s I got my first dog and she has been such a blessing these past 14 years. Changed everything. Now I’m rarely scared of any dog.

Hi Valentina, I’m from Northern Ireland. I love your videos, I look forward to every one. I love interior design and have learned so much from you. I love that you showcase pieces from stores which are available worldwide and not just the USA, also live that you include affordable pieces that look high end . I really enjoy your banter and Jack is such a enthusiastic partner. Love your zest for life x

With all the sad and unhappy news in the world right now, I find myself looking forward every Sunday, Wednesday and Friday to each one of your uplifting and inspiring videos! I've made some small, but stunning changes and additions to my home that are all Valentina-inspired. The best part is, you keep me thinking, "What shall I take on next?" So much fun! :)

I feel the same way. I'm designing a huge project right now...I am converting my garage into a lil house. She really inspired me this year. Her energy is so contagious.

I love how you styled your awkward space! It looks beautiful! I hope you have a great weekend!

Your awkward space looks great. When I saw it I thought of board and batten 3/4 of the way up, painted dark like a charcoal gray, leave the top white and hang very large pieces of art on top. The light fixture above would illuminate them. Just a bench underneath. Love your striped blazer.

Beautiful! As a young mother trying to style my own home on an extreme budget I love the inspiration you spill out. I do what I can with what I have but it's the vision that drives me. ❤️Thank you!

I have the dog book! All My coffee table books are dog themed as I'm a dog fanatic!

Patio giving st tropez vibes . Love it

That resident dog book is adorable 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Thank you for pushing us to think on this art and fissions of atoms in the home

You are always a breath of fresh air!

Hey Valentina, Could you please do a video on how you go about understanding your clients and their design aesthetic ?

Love that idea! Yes!

I learn something in every video, the art pieces you picked are beautiful and I love to see your coffee book collection, I need to invest into some of them. Have a lovely weekend

I love buying textiles when I travel. Some I have framed at home to decorate. Also prints like postcards which I also grame in groups

Have fun on your travels! 🥰

I DO look at people's coffee table books! Obsessed!

Valentina, your videos are always such a treat, but this was so special 🥰

I see the joy this brings too you all as a family rich blessings upon you all. That meal looked delicious.

Another great Friday session! I’m from Morocco and so glad you loved it there and feature it so often. Now I can’t stop thinking of a need to plan a trip back ❣️

Another great video and I love the shorts outfit! Those sandals are ferocious! 😁

Ten years ago I went to the Baltic countries, Estonia, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland. My favorite was Finland. Being blond and fair people thought I was from there. Haven't been anywhere since except Myrtle Beach...LOL. Valentina, you are giving me travel fever.😘

It's funny you should speak about going outdoors. I'm actually watching this whilst laying under the stars, at a beach campsite in Galicia..bliss! Have a wonderful weekend guys 🏖🏕💕

That supper…oh, my. I’m drooling! The Tangier and Zanzibar books together are a perfect Summer color scheme.

Thanks Valentina for all !the inspiration love your. books, patio shrubs selection garden store. every thing..😊🌳

Great post as usual-thanks for sharing the books! We are traveling to Scotland and were just commenting that we don't plan to buy anything. On previous trips-decades ago, now- we did buy things but this time we feel it's more about BEING than BUYING. We want the extra time to sit in a pub or on a beach or in a teashop. We've booked better accomodations so maybe that's a tyoe of buying?? Travel is worth every penny and we are grateful for the chance to go again! Have a great weekend

Valentina, I'm happy for you and Jack and your kids to get to travel again. I just got back from England and Wales. It was so interesting and exillerating. I'm with you on loving any new experience and meeting people from all over the world and finding out how they live! PLUS (Meeting our new identical grandsons for the first time!) It sure inspires health and wellbeing as I grow and experience more people and culture. I have so much to learn everyday and it is such a joy to be a "Student of Life!" 💘

You featuring your coffee table books have made it easy for me to add to my collection...THANK You!

Your hair looks amazing 💕❤💕

I'm right there with you on traveling. My family and I were lucky enough to be able to travel and see new places.

Thank you Valentina just a beautiful video and your gorgeous home just love it and Jack is always willing and able and ready great guy. I love the beginning of your video you look like a model, and the landing turned out beautiful I live in a ranch style house so I don’t have a landing sometimes I wish I did have stairs but I don’t I can just imagine them Christmas time I wanna decorate them and I don’t have them lol oh well I enjoy my home and dress it up and make it look simple but elegant. Have a blessed weekend

I have missed traveling the world sooo much! Cannot wait to follow along to Copenhagen with you on IG and KZread!

Thank you for sharing this video!

Thank you for yet another inspiring & lovely episode ❤

I bought that vase in 2 colors. It really is more amazing than you expect. The greens put it over the top. BAM. My favorite!

Love your energy

My gardenias are in full bloom

Love those glasses and the way you put an art collage together!

Valentina, your hair is gorgeous. I think it every time I watch a video, but especially in the sunlight. So beautiful!

Excellent ideas, thank you both!

You are awesome Valentina, thank you.

I loved the intro, you looked absolutely beautiful in that dress. Thanks for the great tips!

Wonderful! Inspirational -again!

I was thinking about Pinteresting this today!!! You are on time girl!

Oh, I ABSOLUTELY zoom in on coffee table books! I do it to yours all of the time😉

I have both of the Resident Dog books. I love them!

I ALWAYS read what books I see in backgrounds. Before you mentioned that I was reading “Meat Atlas” over and over and it made no sense til I zoomed in more. 😂😂

Love the Travel Home book - I have it too! :) I'm headed to Spain and I can't wait to find some treasures to bring back home. A great way to remember the trip and bring a piece of Spain home. 🧳❤

Love what you did with the upstairs landing

Love your videos Valentina, especially Fridays with V. Best wishes from the UK, Clara :))

Thank you sharing.

I feel you on travel- you just gotta go! We just got back from Greece and while there I got to visit Zara Home. Soooo good!!! Made me think of you. Love these ideas for awkward spaces.

I really look forward to your videos ❤️

One of my favorite things is hearing the stories of non-dog people becoming dog-lovers 💕 they truly are so pure and have an amazing impact on our lives 🥰

I've just recently stumbled upon your videos and am obsessed with everything about you both- your decorating, your books, your coffee, the way you shop and put things together! I'm learning so much. Thank you and continue the good work. I also love the straw purse and would like to know where I can find one.

The opening of the video is so incredible!

Ok lord!!!! I’m definitely inspired You killed it 👌🥰

I would love to hear more about collecting while traveling. I just want to go!!

Would love a video of how you are packing for your trip to Copenhagen! ❤️

I am originally from the UK. For 30 years of my life I always wanted to live in Portugal or Spain (so,so different in 'all' ways). But my dream was put on hold due to me meeting in someone originally from Spain (we married) and who had no plans of returning has they loved London and the opportunity it gave them. So, my dream of 'flight was put on hold for another 20+ years. Fast-forward, divorced and 'flight-free' I set my plans in motion sold-up...and purchased property in Spain. 3 years on I realized that it was a 'dream' and my real home was in the UK and Spain was just for vacations.

White pants getting flowers 🌸 no no !!

Thanks so much for all the book recommendations! I lovvvve your idea of talking more about buying things while traveling. My husband is military, so we move around a ton. I have just fallen in love with New Mexican art and style lately, but we're heaaded to Georgia next, so it's hard to know what would be okay to get so that we don't have a weirdly New Mexican home in the South.

🇹🇹💯🇹🇹 Hi. Your laugh is refreshing and infectious! Great video as always. Call the space Nooks and Crannies! Angel Trinidad West Indies. 🇹🇹💯🇹🇹

We look at your coffee table lol great ideas are found there. 😀

at the top of the stairs i would add no furniture just ART huge art

Wow Valentina could truly play a beautiful classy actress in a movie. Look at her in the beginning with her beautiful white dress, blanket and straw hat. Too sweet. She’s the most beautiful women I’ve seen in a long while. Classy, beautiful, smart, amazing wife and mother. She is like a breath of fresh air to all of us here. She’s just so sweet. ❤️ Love her.

Just want to goooooooooo! ❤️🏝

I am I dog lover and was in the market for a new book so I went straight to AMAZON and it was only $38. Thank you so much

Love the book recommendations 📚 💕

I love books so much! love the way you mix them in with every thing. in one of your videos a while back you had a gorgeous black paged book on your office table. What was it and where can I get one! thanks so much! I'll also be getting Resident Dog too! so cute

A home is not a home without a dog(s). I am so locating the book for purchase. Love to Louie.

Don't move the chaise forward. Bring the planter to be the chaise's "end table."

Hey Valentina, as a guy I have actually bought some of the Amazon mens products recommended. Relating to Jack - I feel he dresses like a James Bond casual cool type put together - with how good your picks are it would be amazing to see more of that mens styling too on like to know it or Amazon for that kind of stuff - not sure how many new clothes Jack needs but it would be nice for him as well (: Always excited to see the next new video

Hi Valentina, I so enjoy your videos. You have given me so many good ideas. And I have made purchases from Amazon, H&M Home & Zara Home. Thankyou what great places to shop. I was wondering where you got your straw hat & the purse you wore in this video. So cute💓 Keep inspiring us, you’re amazing & so is Jack☺️

Hi Valentina, Another great video. The upstairs area of your home, have you considered installing shelves suspended off the wall. I think you should be able to purchase 30cm shelves in black from Ikea.l think scale wise might suit that space, in lieu of a sideboard. 😀

I loved the end of the video when you were all sitting at the table for dinner, that meal looked good, we’re at that time of year here in Australia 🇦🇺 where I start cutting back and pruning my plants before Winter 🥶 really hits, getting them ready for Spring 🌼, our weekend adventure is going to the movies 🍿 to see the new Top Gun Maverick movie Lol 😂, can you believe in our 44 years of marriage we’ve never been to the movies together Lol 😂, I would take our boys to see a movie when they were little and while hubby was working or we’d go to the old Drive-in movies where you would sit in your vehicle 🚗 to watch the movie, we only realised that last night when talking to our eldest son on the phone!!! Have a Great Weekend ahead guys, Enjoy your Summer months while I Hate the Cold 🥶 weather here in Australia 🇦🇺 and it’s just the beginning. Cheers from Nellie ❤️❤️❤️

Well if you are going to have coffee table books in colour than blue and orange are great accents to your palette.

I love resident dog!!! Book 2 is the one shown, the first book is a bit smaller, I love them both but my face is no. 2

Yes, my husband and I miss traveling to tropical locations in other countries! We use to go once a year, but haven’t been able to since Covid came along. We are hoping regulations ease up so we can travel without having to be vaccinated. Meanwhile, we are traveling more in the USA and enjoying that. 😊

Please show us....your luggage and any packing tips...I personally love that stuff

“Cultures where people stop to have coffee” that struck a cord. ♥️

I wanna go to Austria it's a heaven on the earth especially Salzburg area😢

Hi there! I didn’t see your Zanzibar coffee table book! Is it from Amazon? Thanks for always sharing!

I don't travel as much as I wish, but I ve been collecting local artists paints/drawing.

Yes I zoom in and screen shot all the coffee table books! Guess I'm a creep lol

Valentina, if I don’t have money to remodel my kitchen, what about awkward spaces between 90s kitchen cabinets and ceiling, or refrigerator and ceiling? I don’t know if plants or art or just leaving it blank is the way to go. I feel I’m wasting space if I leave it blank, but I hate clutter. Help!

Hi! Can you share where the cabinet came from at the top of the stairs, please?

Can we get outfit details please?! Love this look!

What are your ideas for the switch plate covers? I've been wanting to ditch my builder's grade plastic covers but can't decide on anything.

Awesome video!!! Great to travel as you do. *Did you train your dog or did he train you? *wink wink* cute story....

Can you share the link for the black Home Depot light fixture , please

My stair rail is like yours, i would love to paint mine. did you ever hesitate ?

….That salad at the end 🤤

Can you please check with the state department or other authorities to see how safe it is for Americans to travel to Mexico? I used to live in Mexico D.F. and I love Mexico; however, I would not feel comfortable traveling there nor would I take my children anymore. Mexico is rich with culture, art, and beautifully kind people; however, they are struggling with drug cartels, violence and other difficulties. Thanks!

I always get overwhelmed with decorating a coffee table but I think it's the main focal point of most living spaces and I love hanging out with you v it's always fun to see what you come up with love the pop or color in your books especially now that summer is her and it still looks good with the black and white a good way to add a pop of color
