Hi Valentina and Jack. I just wanted you both to know that you have revived a love in me that I had lost for decorating my home. After my divorce, after 17 yrs, I lost all excitement to buy anything and make my home feel collected and beautiful. Watching you channel helped me realize what I love, and now I can't stop thinking of ways to make my space beautiful. Thank you for being you; Happy, in love, and excited about life. Love you guys.

My vote is for the softer, more traditional side for the cottage.😊

I think the cottage calls for the softer, more traditional style. The entire property is beautiful and does not say modern at all. Will be interesting to see if you can take your own style out of it, as you design. Thanks for sharing this project. And Merry Christmas!

I’m with y’all. That property is not modern. It’s on a lake, looks like a cottage style home. I just can’t see it, but I maybe wrong. I’m definitely not a designer

I agree completely, this cottage calls for a more traditional interior. I am so looking forward to get to see you working on this project. Such a beautiful and serenic property!

Totally agree… the property/home screams traditional all the way.

I feel this cottage calls for a more traditional look, Beautiful place!

Congratulations on the new project! I may be in the minority but I adore the current exterior paint of the cottage. That green just stands out... especially in the spring/summer when everything is in bloom👌🏿. My vote is for the softer, traditional look and black shoes all the way! And Landon🤣😄

I also think it is beautiful with that green colour at an old house with trees around. I do like modern style like Valentina has in her house, but also traditional. I have a mix of both and live in a swedish red house. For this old house Valentina will redo, I think the green is lovely and also a more traditional style inside will be great... even more traditional pieces mixed with her design. We don't need to modernise everything... at least that is my opinion since I love old houses. Mylittleredhouse at Instagram has an old traditional Swedish house. Inside it's decorated in a guite traditional but light style. That is much of a farmhous style but I think she does it really nice. If I had an old house I would be inspired much of these kind of accounts but mixe with modern lines and furinture too. Sometimes keeping some history and also bringing in some antiques really feels calming, at least for me. And some.thinhs from travels loke the jar Valentina showed from Morocco. I bought something similar there and also an.irnamented metallic tray from Morocco that we hang on the wall over the sofa. I panted most of our old furniture in a black or white matte colour, except from a little matte side table that had a lovely patina so I kept it like it was. I think old furniture can be so beautiful. They often have ornaments. Many swedes like painting old furniture in a matte light or dark grey colour right now. That has been really popular for a while. Then they often pair it with white walls. Or they have darker grey walls and keep the furniture like they were with a lot of patina. Depends on the style. Many in old houses just keep the furniture like they were. It is so fun with interior design. Wish you a happy holidays!

Very exciting project! Traditional interiors are fun and appropriate for this I think - I would stay away from it being too farmhouse and keep it classic, timeless, hopefully include some antique pieces. Going to some auctions could be a fun video…. The kitchen could be reclaimed, maybe vintage tile of the area. Opening the kitchen wall could be a good opportunity seized but don’t forget how precious the intimate and cozy feel of old cottages is. Totally part of the experience!!! Good luck on this project, very excited to follow along.

Tearing up is why I love your channel. Watching you and Jack helped me thru the worst depression of my life. Thank you for putting a boot in my butt. My home looks awesome now.

For the cottage, I love the more traditional ideas! How exciting. MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND YOURS😊

The new project is so beautiful. I prefer the more traditional style for the cottage. Landons commercial was great!😄

That was a lovely, sincere thank you speech, and I would like to thank you for letting us into your home and family life every week. I don't know how I found your channel, but I decided to subscribe to it a few months ago (I don't usually subscribe), and I really look forward to your videos. Merry Christmas to all of you!

Wow, loved that property! Definitely a bit more traditional. Loved, loved the exterior color choices. WOW! Definitely interested in your guidance, tips, and tricks. You are amazing...honestly! Virtual sessions? OH YESSSS!!!

I prefer the more traditional for this beautiful home.

Merry Christmas. The new property is gorgeous. I think it lends itself to a more traditional style.

I feel the house speaks to you ,saying she is traditional.You can do modern contemporary.With hints of traditional on its different textures.Congratulations.Great house.Love your nexpresso.You have great taste,so it will be a great remodel.

I love the new property. Casting my vote for Go traditional. Aka House of Valentina circa 2018/2019. So excited!

Closed on...... meaning you bought the property? Or closed on doing the reno for a client? Excited to see what you do. Yes, make those cookies with Landon! You will never regret it!

I think she maybe meant as the realtor she closed on the property for the people who bought it. But then she also talked about the kitchen garden and where she would have that. Not sure. 🤪

Landon, I had problems with my arms for several years and having a little hand pillow was a sanity saver. It’s great on long car trips too. Well done! Hello and merry Christmas from Australia.

I agree with most, more traditional, comfort, warm will be awesome for this property

I usually love more contemporary , modern Scandinavian but this cottage calls for more traditional warm colors and cozy comfy homey … Even bringing in a few antiques .. You and your family inspire so many .. Happy holidays to you all 💗🎄🎄

I think traditional furnishings would go best with the house.

Aww Valentina you’re so sweet!! 🥲 Thank you as well for sharing all of your incredible talent and expertise with us so we too can make our homes our sanctuaries... or even just dream about for now 😊❤️

I love the softer look for the cottage! I think it would flow better with the surroundings, and give you more of a sense of where you are.

So excited to see this project! Thank you and thanks to the homeowner for sharing!!! Merry Christmas to all.

Oh my goodness! Landon's pillow commercial was awesome! 😆 He's so cute.

Loved this peek into your new, exciting project--as well as a look into the rawer side of your home life that is part of your making-life-and-home-beautiful process! Now I don't feel so alone in still having much to do, lol. Have to say that your bundle of fun utterly delighted with his commercial 😀 😄! The accent put it over the top. He's a talented one! Merry Christmas to the Fussell family!! Thank you for brightening my days and, through your influence, taking my home design places it would not have gone if not for you sharing so generously with your viewers. 💝 Blessings, one and all!

I absolutely love your channel and base my whole design for my home off of your style, you helped me finally figure out my dream style for my home and wardrobe thank you! Y’all should totally create of course I would be one of the first people to buy it I’m so happy I found you and your family❤️

Congrats on the house. Can wait to see what you will be doing with this project! Enjoy your Christmas and Merry Christmas to all!

Your videos are changing not only my home but also me! My husband is enjoying all the changes! Thank you! Merry Christmas!

Awww Valentina you are so sweet, you are so appreciative of your audience and we appreciate you. Thank you for the videos this year, I can't wait to see what you do in 2022! x

Your son is soooo adorable 🥰🥰🥰 Also, I wanted to let you know I truly enjoy watching both you and your husband, you guys are so funny and down to earth and make me smile when I have breakfast and watch all your tips and tricks and all you do. Thank you so much for the time you put into the videos and keep them coming 🥰

Beautiful property! I love how in the South/East of the country, there is so much land available for Estate property. Here in California where I live, land is very expensive. Thank you for sharing. I can’t wait to see! 😍

Merry Christmas to your beautiful family! I love the new renovation property, such potential...Congrats! I think the softer look matches the property better, but it'll turn out beautiful no matter what direction you go. Thanks for providing the foundation for a wonderful design community. I love stopping by every week.

I vote for the more traditional theme. What a lovely find

So excited for you on this cottage project! Can't wait to see the home and gardens!😀

I am so happy that I found your channel! You have helped me so much to up my design game in my home! You and Jack are an inspiration to me! And your children are amazing! Thanks for sharing your talents with us! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Landon cracks me up every time!

I really love your style Valentina and you’re energy! Really enjoy watching all your videos and love your chemistry with your hubby Jack.

So excited to see how this turns out. You have opened up a hidden love I have for fashion and design. I love your style! Happy New Year!

That "commercial break"😂😂 I see a future in sales or advertising. Such confidence!

Merry Christmas! May God continue to bless you and your family this year❤️ Excited to see the amazing manor project progress - it’s going to be epic!

You gys are joy to watch Congratulations on your project and Merry Christmas 🎄

Congratulations on the cottage! I can’t wait to see how you style it. Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 !

Love your excitement it's contagious! Have a very Merry Christmas!!

Beautiful, beautiful grounds....definitely traditional style best for cottage property ....

Hello from Greece! I am speed stamping my gift labels as I got so inspired by your gift wrapping ideas! I also got excited when you mentioned the snow cookies = kourabies 🤣🤣 Love your energy and style!

Love the modern with some touches of traditional pieces.

You found your purpose. That's why you stayed up till 3 doing your vision board. I have the same passion. I feel ya sista.

Sounds like an amazing project, Valentina. Can't wait to see how you will transform this place. Thank you for always being an inspiration. Merry Christmas from Germany.

Your hair looks so good 💜💜 this video has all the Christmas vibes, love it!

Have fun! Love the gardens!

The first two exteriors on the mood board were fabulous

I am so glad you update even when you have so much to do. I've been sick with fever, flu and like that most of the last six weeks. The days has been so lovely and Christmasy because of your updates. Thank you so much! I wish you all a Merry Christmas! / Stina

100% agree about the nespresso. i have 2 of them also. They really are one of the best thing on the planet lol No wonder you are so Gitty this will be FUN!!!! There is so much fabulousness on the property. Wishing for the best of luck on this project . Whatever you do will be fabulous!

Ok, who else wants Landon to have his own youtube channel?

Oh ! How I've missed your Renovation/Home Tour videos! Thank you for including this- what a spectacular project that's going to be! ( And thanks also for the peek at my favorite Nespresso machine's accoutrements! wink-wink) Wishing you and your lovely family the merriest of Christmases and looking forward to sharing (virtually) the New Year with you all! xoxo

Thank you for inspiring me to be excited and not intimidated about decorating my home and it’s starting to come more naturally. I am also naturally attracted to monochromatic spaces and you have helped make me comfortable with that choice. On the project, definitely traditional. 😀

I love your more modern designs but I like the softer version for this house that just seems a little more traditional. But all would look great! Obsessed with the dark exterior color ideas! We recently painted our lake house black fox by SW and I love it! Can’t wait to see how this project turns out!

Lol! Found that A-frame gingerbread house at Trade Joe's shortly after watching your A-frame video. Its been our favorite gingerbread house this year.🎄 And YES PLEASE on putting together a course(s)!! That would be fantastic! Cheers and Happy Holidays!🍾

Keep both shoes. Your home is just so glam and cozy and everything I dream of my home to be 🖤

Oh! Was totally distracted. Congratulations on the property. I can’t wait to see your design ideas.

Love your channel! you have inspired me to redecorate! I would definitely be interested in an online design class. Your style is amazing, and you have such a positive attitude! Merry Christmas!

The traditional look is really lovely for this house. I think a white Ektorp sofa or chair from IKEA could be beautiful somewhere if they want to have a more traditional style. I think you can make a traditional style even one step more traditional than your sketch, if they like that, but still keep it nice and not feel dingy or old. I think you know what I mean since you lived in Scandinavia. 😊 We know you will make it lovely. ❤️ It will be so fun to see. Ok... that was my second message under this video. 😁 This video was so much fun! Thank you!! I wish to hire your cute santa boy too. 😍 OMG the shopping you did. 🫨🫨🫨 You really have some things to do now. 😅

Oh congratz! For the cottage, the second image and yes tie the theme from house to house. If you can open it, I feel that would be ideal. I like the softer look personally. With the summer sun, dark might not be ideal though, but its all about preference I guess. I wish you the best and cant wait to see what you come up with. Have fun, I know you all will! :) Happy New year!

Look forward to your series on the project! Looks like fun! ❤️

Definitely traditional to match the main house I agree. Have fun and Good luck! 👍🏽💐

I would love a course! Great idea!!

Merry Christmas lovely V!!! I wish you many blessings this year and always!!

I would definitely say traditional on the cottage. I know it will be beautiful either way!

Cottage-clean transitional with warm design for sure on this one..great opportunity

Happy New year to you and your family.Your incredible

Love the black shoes! Love the Manor! Love Landon’s commercial! He is so you!😍

Merry Christmas to you and your family .

😂 Landon's the best...finger pillow😂😂

Fun & exciting. Landon is such a character 😂❤️

Wishing you a Merry Christmas 🎄

Just love your home and simple colour choices with taste

Very excited for you on your project with the cottage, can’t wait to see what you come up with, I just know it will look Fabulous, I’m going to get emotional here by saying that You have bought so much Joy into my very lonely life watching your videos and following your decorating ideas that I could only Dream of having in my home, don’t get me wrong, I love what we did with our renovations last year, but I so wished I found your channel when we were in the process because there’s a lot I’d change but it’s too late now, we put so much money into doing it at the time and just can’t afford to do it all over again at our age, so I’m living my best life through you. I appreciate every video you and Jack do together, although I Love my husband with all my Heart ❤️, he’s nothing like Jack, I have trouble even to get him to hang something on the wall for me and I dare not do it myself in case I put it in the wrong spot or it’s not level 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️, I’m sure he’s getting grumpier as he gets older lol @66 years old Today Xmas Eve baby, anywhos, I just wanted to Thank You for everything you do throughout the year and Wish You, Jack and your Family a Beautiful Merry Christmas and a Wonderful New Year filled with Love, Kindness, Peace, Hope and Good Health. Blessings from Queensland Australia 🇦🇺🎅🏻🤶🏻🎄🎄🎄❤️❤️❤️🖤🖤🖤🖤

How wonderful! This will be an exciting year for you, V, and it couldn’t happen to a more deserving person. Merry Christmas, and I hope you and your loved ones have a beautiful holiday together :) (And omg, Monin syrups! I recommend their Cinnamon Roll flavour if you can find it! Stick a straw in the bottle and go to town)

Merry Christmas to you and your family !!!

I love House of Valentina❤

Very exciting project. I don't know how you keep up with everything. I feel like there are not enough hours in the day to do all the things I have in mind.💖

I just ordered the Agave+ lip repair. I'm looking forward to getting it. Thanks for the info.

Ok , that was my Xmas present. Landon .. just love him. That commercial with the accent, my heart can’t take it! Merry merry Christmas 🎁,

Happy Holidays, sweet people!!! Landon is a gem!! 🙃🎄🙂❄️☺️☃️🥰

My goodness, what an emotional ending to your today’s video! Sweet lady, you had me tearing up too. I can relate to your emotion about your connection with your customers/viewers. I had an gift/interior design/tiny restaurant for 32 years. Countless memories of making good friends, seeing families grow and sharing life with them still makes me emotional. It was so much work but honestly I would not trade it for anything! So Valentina, tear up all you want, it’s ok. You and your family are a blessing to all of us. It’s all good.....Merriest of Christmas’s to you!🎄♥️🎄

I vote traditional for the cottage! Thanks for all your wonderful and educational videos! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Happy holidays!!! Love the shoes and you should keep both :) we have that Scandi rustic book and it was that book that inspired me to change our style from farmhouse! Which then led me to decide to paint trim and doors black which then led me to your channel!! We bought a Nespresso machine and the three leather boxes you’ve featured from Amazon that I envision putting the pods in and keeping on the counter can’t wait!! What happened with your closet? I saw the video where you went to the closet lady to discuss layout and stuff. OMG I love the property!!! I can’t wait to see what you all do with this! So many amazing possibilities and help for my own reno :) yes to a course!!!! I would love that!!!!

I think if they have asked you they must like your modern aesthetic so I would do what your gut tells you. I don't believe in totally making the inside match the outside. I love the unexpected surprise with just a hint of cohesive design in relation to the outside. You see possibilities beyond just playing it safe. That s why you are the designer to push some safe boundaries and give them the nuance of Valentina' s design concept. Happy holidays from Australia. 🖤

Congratulations 👏 and Merry Christmas 🤶 🎄 ❤

We are so honer that you share your Part of your life....Jack and You are such a beautiful family and blessed in so many way ! I love how you share your design sense It just shows me that I am living my true self and the upgrades I have done in my home is so in point that you are sharing ...thank you thank you so much - have very Healthy and Safe New Years Cheers from our family to your OMF the finger pillow that was classic !! Good to say for when he gets married to show his beautiful soul !!! Cheers 🥂

The snowball cookies are my favorite, too.

Traditional gets my vote in this space!

I love the exterior colors! Beautiful! I prefer the modern interior. It looks cleaner, yet still cozy. I also love some of the ornate pieces inside the original house. I wonder if modern meets renaissance would work, or if painting those pieces of furniture is an option 🤩 I am no designer though--you are, and I am all for this! Love your designer vision! Look forward to seeing this project unfold! 👏👏

I’m here binge watching all of your videos and I have to say, that is the best commercial I’ve ever seen haha!!

You deserve every bit of popularity you have. I only wish I found you earlier. I love your enthusiasm, but most of all your honesty. I would love to apply to every course you give.

I would be giddy too that place is amazing. Totally need to go the traditional softer route but I’m sure the person living there needs to have say. Love the darker outside even though I’m going through my white period right now I see an Italian rustic in there. Your call. With your style you can’t miss whatever you choose. Can’t wait for more coming up! Exciting. Much to look forward to. I can’t wait for your next episode. I bought so many things you have suggested. Love it. You are a true artisan when time escapes as you are creating.

Love the white flats!

Keep those puffy quilted flats! So cute with any fake fur tops or coats, plus with anything that has similar top-stitching, PLUS with puffer jackets!!

Merry Christmas! I ordered that bust on Etsy and cannot wait for it to arrive!

The owner has definitely chosen the right person to do this house, your taste is perfect for a rustic or Scandi or both mixed 🙏🏻 loving your channel , so varied…. love your family being included as well. Maybe some more clothing hauls in the new year 👏🏻👏🏻? 🇬🇧xxx

You're such a beautiful person I can truly feel that you speak with your heart by the way made me cry and I had to redo my makeup 😭💄
