Valentina can I just tell you that you are such a comfort to me! I was just recently telling my daughter in law about your channel & we watched one of your videos together and it was the one where you showed the Scott Mitchell book. My daughter-in-law ordered that book for me because that was my husbands name. He recently passed away and that book is a great form of escape, sort of a meditation. When I watch your show just even hearing you talk brings comfort to my soul. Thank you!🥰

I’m sorry for your loss… I enjoy watching Valentina’s channel as well….. my grandpa recently passed away. Helps me get through my days with my own home as well as a rental property my grandfather graciously left me 😢 I miss him immensely.

A trick I picked up from the designer of theatrical sets. Choose your rich neutral (blue, brown, green, etc.) Then, get the brilliant white tint base, and add your rich neutral to the tint base bit by bit until you have 'softened' the white. It usually takes a tablespoon or two of the dark color to 'temper' or soften the white. Both colors look phenomenal together!

Nice color selections Valentina! It is always exciting to see new color ideas and the advice is helpful for color combinations!! 😊

I think that a nice neutral beige color is SW Natural Linen. It's beige without being too warm. Very clean and crisp without being glaring.

I’d love to see a video on door colors (some of us have hollow builder grade doors so a hallway of white would be rough). Also, could be fun to do examples of coordinating wall colors to existing floors/furniture.

I painted my entire upstairs in SW Pure White and I love it! It's clean, crisp, modern, and just right!

Hello from Australia! My 6 month old is all smiles as soon as your videos begin, your energy is just the best! Would love to hear your thoughts on kids/nursery colour palettes. I’m all about the neutrals too!

Absolutely reassuring for me. I love the black and white contrast.

I am so inspired by your design videos. My entire home has transformed to black & white with touches of creams, beiges..I've never been so happy. I've chased the right design for years but have never loved my home so much since finding your inspiration. Thank you so much Valentina, for your continued help. It's seriously life changing for many of us🖤🤍

We painted most of our interior Benjamin Moore Ballet White last year … sort of slightly warmer side of off white with a drop of gray. Lovely and sophisticated. I hope it has staying power!! Thanks Valentina!!

Great video, so helpful! The last two and a half minutes where you explained your tips and answered common questions was SO helpful (respecting bold colors, cherry wood doesn’t work with yellow undertones, etc.). Learning what does work is helpful, but I think knowing what does NOT work and why is even better. Thanks Valentina, love your channel!!

I painted my dining room Tricorn Black and love it. It gets so many compliments.

Love your suggestions and style! I’m painting my exterior next week and had been watching many of your videos!!! It is overwhelming HELP! 😅

I've had Sherwin Williams Woodland Lichen, (now called Pewter Green), on half a bedroom wall for at least 6 months, to see if I liked it enough to go all the way. I LOVE IT! Others think I'm nuts, but so what!! It looks gorgeous with so many other colors, like flowers against trees!

Just found my new Sherwin Williams love! Its Inkwell! I am in love with this color! Doing my attic walls/ceiling and plywood floors in Inkwell and all trim and window sears in Sherwin Williams pure white. Gorgeous!

I think Sherwin Williams Urbane Bronze doesn’t get enough attention. It was the color of the year for 2021. I just moved into my custom home and I used Urbane Bronze on my bathroom cabinets, kitchen island, laundry room cabinets, laundry room island and all the interior doors. I get numerous compliments and questions of, “What color did you use?” It compliments my wall color, Repose Gray, and the kitchen island really stands out against my white kitchen cabinets. In different light it has various shades of green, gray and bronzy brown. I absolutely love it!

Your videos are the best Valentina!!! We’ve repainted our walls with SW Panda White and use a neutral color palette as well.

Love your colour palette for the exterior of the home, we’ve just put up a new colourbond fence in Shale Grey and I was very nervous about the colour when all we had to pick from from one of those little swatches but it turned out perfectly, we added Iron Ore as the posts and top rails to give it some definition and a pop of colour instead of being all the same, I’d love to have our brick home rendered in something similar as we have the Iron Ore colour for our gutters and posts around our home but not a stark black, it’s all coming together nicely Thanks to your helpful tips Valentina, our next project is to concrete around parts of our home and I’m going to lay down artificial grass, less maintenance as we get older Lol 😂 and hubby is going to build me some planter boxes that I got inspiration from one of your previous videos when you visited a garden centre and it had artificial grass in the area that I loved so much, I’m going to take it all the way under our outdoor area so I have the outdoors coming in and making it look bigger and more functional for our lifestyle here in Australia 🇦🇺, we spend a lot of time outdoors sitting rather than indoors especially coming into our Summer months, we cook a lot on the Weber grill during summer 🌺. Now back to watching the rest of your video. Cheers from Queensland Australia 🇦🇺🌞🌞🌞🌞❤️❤️…I must add that our very first home we built was painted beige all throughout back in the 70’s, just goes to show that everything comes back in style and the colour beige we had was what you shared, and we had a lot of mission brown on the outside Lol 😂🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️, I’d never go back to that mission brown colour even if you paid me a million dollars Lol 😝

I painted the exterior of my house in matte Iron Ore, including all the trim, and it is just gorgeous! It’s so soft, and rich, and I have really big trees all around the house that create beautiful shadows. Can’t recommend Iron Ore enough!

Yes!!!! I desperately need some guidance on that for the very same reasons! I live in an older home…it was actually my grandparents home and where I spent every weekend growing up….and it has all the original woodwork/trim, which is a dark mahogany, along with the original hardwood floors throughout, which are lighter and have more of the warm orangey undertones. On top of that, we also have several stained glass windows that have a variety of colors. All beautiful but at the same time make it extremely difficult when it comes to choosing paint and getting that “just right” color pallet. So yes, I also would definitely love some advice on that!

I would love to see examples of these colors that you’ve done in different spaces!

I love Greek Villa too! I had it in my former home I remodeled and I have it now on my ceiling! In my current remodel I’m going with Pure White for trim.

I repainted my home and vacay condo in warm white bydunn edwards and love love love it. Bright and airy

I am crazy over these colors! Moscow Midnight?!? Dried Thyme?!? I'm in love. I prefer neutrals as well so what a great way to add color that is still calming and timeless.

This is so helpful and informative. My husband and I were going back and forth about colors. I’m more bold and he is neutral.

We chose SW Accessible beige for our home recently. We were told Cedar Key, but it looked pink in our house, so we switched to AB and love it. The house was really dark and dated (70’s home tucked in the mountains), and AB lightened it beautifully while keeping it warm and natural feeling. We have some high contrast with our big, black woodstove and deep brick fire place, and although I never have thought of myself as a “high contrast” girl, I’m actually realizing I love the AB so much with that deep black stove (and my son’s black music stand for violin) similar to your black paint. Our trim is white so that basic pallet is there for us.

Hi Valentina!! LOVE all of your videos and have been watching in anticipation of designing/decorating my new home when it's done being built in March! Was wondering if you have any tips to cleaning a wall with a matte finish? I want to do matte but I also have a 4 yr old and dogs 😮

My bedroom is painted Rainstorm and we love it!

A few months ago you showed a video of your daughter's room makeover and the color she choose was BM's "Baby Fawn" also known as "Edgecomb Gray", which is a "greige". That ended up in my list of color choices and, well, it took me three months to choose, not an afternoon. 🤣 I paired it with Kendall Charcoal for cabinets, an entertainment center, and some focal point walls with board and batten wainscoting. The combination is ever so delicious. My 19-year-old daughter finally moved out and we painted that room Baby Fawn as well and I am so very, very happy with it. This condo used to have butter-yellow walls that I hated and mint green bedrooms. What a wonderful change!! And all thanks to you. I brought in blue, green, and an earthy orange (inspired by an art piece of my daughter's) that influenced my choice of stunning blue/green/orange tilework in the kitchen. The whole thing is elegant and tasteful. Thanks to your advice to use neutrals. I believe they make an excellent base to which elements of color can be added.

We just painted and my office is Greek Villa and our living room in pure white. I wished I would have used Greek Villa in my living room bc I see blue/purple/gray undertones depending on the time of day. I love Greek Villa! I did use Alabaster in my bedroom but it does not look like it has yellow undertones in our space/lighting. I love all of your recommendations! I go back and forth between loving sleek and sophisticated and happy and inviting/cozy. I need to figure out how to marry them both in a cohesive way. Have a great week! 😊

It’s been a little under 6 months since I painted and I do love it in the rooms I chose which have a lot of windows and a glass patio door. At times when it’s cloudy outside , I notice a greenish undertone that comes through but it still compliments my furniture and greenery and so it looks good in the space and still maintains the feel I was going for. When it’s brighter outside then it’s very warm and light. I like the changeability. Hope that helps.

Curious… I’m Australian too.. you can’t get Sherwin Williams here (which I literally cried over), so who did you go with? I used Porter’s Paints; they’re the only ones I felt where the pigment was rich, dense and consistent. Yes, it cost hundreds, but I love the huge difference good quality paint can make!

Love your videos. Thank you. I was wondering if you would do a video on wallpaper. They seem to be more popular once again. I would like some source ideas from you and adding wallpaper to guest bathrooms and maybe a focus wall. What are your thoughts. Thank you. ❤

I recently painted like 75% my house repose grey and all our furniture is white and beige with very light browns thrown in. It works just depends on your decor. The bedrooms are beige but like a grey beige

I am thinking of going with Egret White from sherwin-Williams as a main wall colour with pure white as my trim and Pediment as my accent wall colour. I have blonde wood floors and crisp white modern Scandinavian furniture. I have to pick up some sample paint and put it on a poster boards to see how it will look under different lighting conditions, but I think it should be a warm light reflective soft colour that still offsets to the crisp clean furniture and trim.

Same. I use iron ore on every project.

I would LOVE to see a video on how to use paint, and palette, to update rooms with trends gone by....cherry wood dining room sets ( my husband adores ours, I hate it, he'll never part with it, what can I do?). folks who have yellow oak cabinetry, who also want to use paint to work with it, I'm sure there are many more...what to do about rooms with chair railing dividers?

I painted my main floor shoji white a couple months ago and was nervous because i don’t hear recommended….until today! I already have as happy with the color and now I feel validated because Valentina loved it too. 😊

I have an older semi open ranch and I want to do one color throughout main living area. I get lots of light in kitchen dining sitting area but not in livingroom or halls. I am not a huge white white person but want something light open airy but still homey. I love earthy colors like the greens (shade grown ir in that area) darker blues like a navy or like a burnt orange in my throws or pictures. Nothing ever yellow. (Hate that yellow tint.) Kinda bohemian/ desert colors. Do you have any ideas on colors that's not a pure white or beige color? A netural color that is good for all lighting and still feels open and airy.
