I think that's most people! SO many are using credit/ Layaway services such as Klarna & After-Pay.

I miss your old videos where you went shopping with Jack blogged, they. were so fun and real.

I miss your videos when you walk around your home and share the recent changes. Also so informative when you share your process as you do it. And the why? It helps me to hear this because then I can be more discerning in my placement of items and my purchases. Thank you so much for the help you have provided over the years!

Valentina, so I did it! I bought the paint! HERMATITE for my fireplace! Floor to ceiling!

Really enjoyed watching you decorate that table

Yes! Painting the kitchen white has made the awful yellow tiles and bench now less noticeable. Painting is empowering me while I get through the final part of divorce. Tackled the stationery buffet and painting it along with two chests of drawers. Transformed the bedhead too. Added a lot of art to what was all blank walls. For the first time my house is starting to feel like I live here and it’s becoming a cool home. You have been instrumental in my choices and I can’t thank you enough.❤

I’m so glad to hear that this has been helpful to your life. You definitely deserve a beautiful home to live in!

Love these type of videos. I think reminders that you don’t have to spend a bunch of money to make a difference.

I love this!! Sometimes I feel like everything in my house needs a refresh and then get discouraged because I know that’s not possible financially. I love that you give us very affordable options that can change the feel of our spaces!

Warm lights are good for mood lighting and lower than standing height. Daylight is good for overhead lights and task lights. Sometimes overhead yellow lights can be depressing and dingy. So, don’t ditch daylight lights entirely. Just depends on what you are doing, when.

Your outdoor space is stunning. It is the perfect mix of modern and timeless elements.

*Plants and Planters* . I would describe my home aesthetic as rustic/vintage/cottage. I've had a pair of tall, very traditional planter urns in my dining room for years housing my spider plants. The obvious plastic look of the planters never felt right. I thrifted some vintage wooden crates for $5. One was tall enough for a plant stand to fill a corner. I spray painted a thrifted basket in Rustoleums Nutmeg, added a black bowl inside for the plants. I was on the hunt for a matte black tall planter for my Monstera. The budget didn't allow for something concrete. I found a matte black waste bin at Walmart, added a brick at the bottom for height. I now have a lovely plant vignette that didn't break the bank and fits my style.

Like your creative tweaks. I have painted plastic items in the past to look like old rusty, crusty vintage looks, think old iron urns or lichen mossy concrete. It takes a lot of layering of paint, the right colors, sponges, dabbing, eyeballing till it looks right. It's a fun way to turn an inexpensive item with "good bones" into something way more expensive. I've done it with wall sconces, mirror frames, just about anything you can imagine. People would never guess!

One must have comfy outdoor furniture!!!!

Thanks for the tips! I love your gardening aesthetic and I'm excited for your outdoor plans. 💚 Your deck looks so inviting and lovely!

i am a retired portrait photographer. I love whiter lighting. I found that for my home that I like my hallways and kitchen at 4000K, my lamps at 3500K and my bedroom at 3200K, on a dimmer. My bathrooms are 3500K on a dimmer too. Changing out to cleaner, brighter LED lighting was the single most influential change I made. I also changed all of the ugly builder installed fixtures. It was an expensive endeavor as I hiired an electrician for much of it. My "smaller changes" always lead to bigger changes.

@@trulylovely985 In the stores like Home Depot and Lowes, look closely at the packaging. It is supposed to be labeled with "temperature" ratings, usually on the back, which is the Kelvin rating. The comparative wattage of incandescent to LED means LED is always much lower because less electricity is needed to power LED'S. "Daylight" from one manufacturer may be labeled at a different Kelvin temperature than another brand or label, so watch out for that. Google daylight balanced light. Home Depot has a page that comes up fairly high in my search. Also other pages will address it well. I personally found 5000K much too cool when I bought and installed bulbs under white lamp shades. But I had some red shades and installed 3500K bulbs and I hated the gold/yellow tint coming out from those shades. Also, be aware that if you have a cooler Kelvin fixture, like I do in my hallways downstairs, my light gray Sherman Williams Drift of Mist (a slightly warm color tint) looks cool under 4000K fixtures, with little exterior lighting in place there. However, upstairs, my SW Essential Gray, a warmer tone color, is on the walls and there is more natural light coming in, so the 4000K fixtures in the halls look great and it doesn't turn the warmer tone wall color into a cool tone and the fixtures don't look yellow or blue. It's more neutral. So you can see that exposure, natural light, color tint of paints, etc. have an affect on how one sees lighting.

I always say, "It's the little things!".

The new outside furniture looks great! I love to putter around my home and tweak and dream and think. I recently decluttered...again and posted items for sale on Facebook and Craigslist. I also rearranged and lightened up my floor to ceiling bookcase. I just love the new look. And I finally pulled the plug, after much thought, (and youtube videos) and gel stained my honey oak dining table a soft mat black. What was I waiting for?! Love the inspiration I find here.

I feel fortunate to be able to get light bulbs let alone color changing 😓 But yes I agree those white blue lights are so hard on the eyes etc..

So true. Once again when the lifestyle control "terrorists" started dictating lightbulbs and lighting "laws" of what you can and can't have, I about had a fit. Years ago I discovered the I'll effects lighting can have on one's health and that was decades before the forced changeover when incandescents were "outlawed". I was work I'll bag in the music business and worked in rehabbed turn of the century, early 1900's blogs that we converted to homey offices with lamps for lighting. Then one job I had, only had fluorescent lights and I noticed my eyes were always bloodshot, I started having skin issues and felt worse in general. I found out the lighting was leeching out vitamin A and causing these problems. When the compact fluorescents came along, I was like, "No, that is a hard no for me!" I was then doing interior design work and all the husbands of my clients had put these horrid bulbs that looked like UFO's had landed on the nightstands, and tables, etc. I did a bunch of research and what I found was horrifying! They have, along with most of the LED lights really bad effects on your health. Everything from the earlier things I had experienced years prior, to sleep problems, mood issues, too much to cover here. There was plenty of research from highly credible professionals, but of course it gets squelched by the "controllers" of all things environmental. It has I'll effects on kids, who in the schools are constantly under these lights, as well as pets. Blue spectrum lighting is not compatible with the human body while good old incandescents are. I still buy the fan lights or broad based chandelier bulbs for the flattering and healthier lighting I prefer. I don't care if they don't last forever, i have purchased LEDs that are supposed to, that went out in a month's time. I don't know if the truth about these lighting changes is still on the net, what with the quashing of free speech and truth, but at one time it was out there for the average sleuth to find. One other thing, there was a true story of an incandescent bulb that I believe was invented by an "outsider". It lasted for some crazy amount of time, like 200 years! Of course, it was outlawed or "uninvented" by the powers that be. It was good for the consumer but it wasn't good for the large bulb manufacturer's (who shall go unnamed) bottom line!

I Love the warm tones of lightning throughout my home, I have a couple of down lights in my kitchen for when I’m cooking dinner but I also have a lovely pendant light that’s got Warm lighting that just gives enough light to see what you’re doing (unless you have a hubby that’s forever turning the down lights on to see Lol 😂) then you have both lots of lights on, I love throw rugs at the bottom of my beds, and having a made bed makes all the difference and gives me a good start to my day, just the little things makes a world of difference…we’re working on our outside area at the moment, so these tips have helped me a lot V, no disrespect to your last fashion video, I still LOVE WATCHING Your Home Decor videos THE BEST…Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺🖤🖤🩶🩶🩶☮️

I chose SW Downing Slate for the exterior. With Bolero red doors. It’s stunning. The landlord was happy with my choices, and paid for the paint job. It was a pale yellow before. If you ask nicely, and improve the value of the property, and it’s not too unreasonable, sometimes the landlord will pay, if you’re renting.

You just convinced me to light a candle. I love candles but always just wait for it to get dark outside before lighting, which at this time of year is after 8 pm and then I decide not to light it as it will only burn for an hour or two. Why wait for night! I’ll light one during the day, and g wait for my husband to make a comment! Lol

You are a million percent right about the 💡 light bulbs 💡!!!! I found the best ones I’ve ever had on Amazon when I bought a new fixture for my bathroom they have different settings you can change and in the middle is NATURAL it is so beautiful!!!!! I need to get more for the whole house … but yes no more horrible daylight bulbs warm was weird too trying to put make up on 🤣🤣🤣 so it’s the perfect middle ground … thanks V!!!!

Yes, thanks for bringing up color temperature in light bulbs. If someone is having an issue with paint color it could actually just be the lighting, it will bring out certain undertones in your paint. Just like when a room is north or south facing, LED coloring will also impact paint color. TFS, I always enjoy your videos. 😊

Such a nice video Valentina! I love these type of ideas and reminders of how to make a home special. Oh yes, lightbulbs!! What a pet peeve of mine (and obsession). I try every type of light bulb until I get exactly the right mood and ambience. I love changing up furniture. In my bedroom have a low cabinet on one side of the bed and on the other side I placed a small size tiered coffee table that has one higher tier in white marble and the lower and larger tier in a rich walnut. It fits perfectly and is a bit unexpected for the bedroom but I love it.

Valentina this video was right on time! I just purchased new organization bins for my master bath from Amazon and reorganized three drawers! Wow what a difference. I had the hubby take a look so hopefully it can stay that way! Lol

This was a nice break from the “consumerism” videos (that I admit, I enjoy😅). And aside from the dimmer bulb and plug (that I just ordered😂), I feel like I can just “shop” from my home. The only place in my house with daylight lighting is the garage, shed and storage room.

Highly fortunate to be gifted outdoor setting for FREE!!! Easy to upgrade / refresh spaces when you don't need to spend your own $$$$

Great ideas on simple changes that can make a huge difference to how your space looks and feels; small changes really can be impactful on agreeing the entire vibe. Candles, planters, decluttering.... they're all relatively inexpensive and quick. That said, swapping out outdoor furniture is in no way and easy or affordable change! You were literally gifted THOUSANDS of dollars worth of free outdoor tables, seating and decor - so YES, if everyone had that perk and could just swap out our existing items for brand-new, completely free items, perhaps it could be considered an easy change; that's not reality for 99.9% of your followers, and frankly suggesting so is pretty tone deaf.

I think you can change outdoor furniture for not that much. She’s giving us ideas; examples. I put a darling bistro set for $150 and comfy chairs with charming pillows for $200 and my patio is now a usable area.

No offense, but there is such an echo reverberating off the walls of this room. Kind of negates a "cozy" vibe.

Actually the daylight bulb is the closest to natural daylight. The color is not blue. Once you get past the 5000 kelvins then it begins to be more blue. 4000 kelvins is also nice but that yellow light….. I just can’t!

Where have you bought the beautiful coffee cup? @houseofvalentina
