    Why make your house look like a hotel? Where’s the well lived in look that puts yourself, family and visitors at ease?!

  6. Marie Green on May 12, 2022 at 9:21 pm

    This is the first time I have seen any of your videos. I love your designs and layouts! And the way you explain things. A already do some of these things but there were so many things I had never thought of like going to the thrift store to get the dishes and lamps! I will definitely be watching more videos.

  7. saby8765 on May 12, 2022 at 9:21 pm

    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.

  8. R M on May 12, 2022 at 9:21 pm

    What about a kids bathroom ? Something to keep in line with this aesthetic but still fun for a child?

  9. Tina Pederzolli on May 12, 2022 at 9:22 pm

    genius

  13. F4ker Fumm13r on May 12, 2022 at 9:27 pm

    Sorry but white is just so boring with no imagination.. waaay to clinical. I think it looks tacky to be honest.

  14. Garfield Garfield on May 12, 2022 at 9:29 pm

  15. Monique West on May 12, 2022 at 9:30 pm

    I think towels of 3 complimentary colors look nice. White towels pick up things.

  16. Sue Anderson on May 12, 2022 at 9:30 pm

    I love white towel ,because you can bleach them ! They will always smell clean and fresh . Colored towels can smell after washing,I noticed after staying at someone else’s house . I bleach now !

  24. Nachayka Vanterpool on May 12, 2022 at 9:36 pm

    Can you or anyone recommend a layout and design app or site that allows me to try to see what colors or furniture would look like rearranged? I noticed in the video a cute layout showing furniture moving to see if you like something here or there. I’m blessed to be moving soon and starting from scratch!

  25. saby8765 on May 12, 2022 at 9:37 pm

    Wife loves interior decorating, husband do not love dusting all these piece of crap every morning…sorry, but it’s the sad truth of our lives.

  26. Regina Thornton on May 12, 2022 at 9:38 pm

    I like Antique White: it can have a light peach color after sunset

  27. Tabitha Tierney on May 12, 2022 at 9:38 pm

    Do you have the link for the pillow inserts?

  28. LaurenAnne on May 12, 2022 at 9:40 pm

    I want to make my future home look cohesive. I have a few art pieces that I’m not sure how to blend into my space. I am into the eclectic look, so having different art is workable with that style, but I know there’s an art to making eclectic look balanced and not a mess. I’m at a bit of a loss.

  29. Anita Karikari on May 12, 2022 at 9:40 pm

    I am a fun of Woody smell

  42. Nancy Moran on May 12, 2022 at 10:01 pm

    Thank you for the ideas. I can’t help but wondering though how you will wash the pump jar that contains toothpaste : D

  43. C. Medina on May 12, 2022 at 10:02 pm

    Do you have a business 🤔 I need to redo my whole house after looking at your videos glad I found you. I’m a male this is my wife and kids. But I have a creative side of what I would like it to look even better. That’s for the ideas 💡 😉

  44. Tee Gee on May 12, 2022 at 10:05 pm

    Kristen I would love to write to you regarding a problem I have with 2 very large shelving units. I don’t know if I should donate or paint. Is there an email address I can write you with a photo? Any input is appreciated!

  45. John Crouch on May 12, 2022 at 10:05 pm

  46. Tigerlilly on May 12, 2022 at 10:08 pm

  47. Chris W. on May 12, 2022 at 10:09 pm

    I’d rather make my home look eclectic and inviting than expensive. Just a bit too clinical for me, but good on you for inspiring certain others.

  48. Sage & Thistle on May 12, 2022 at 10:12 pm

    Thank you.

  49. mademoisellechoko on May 12, 2022 at 10:13 pm

    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!

  50. Elsa Leyva on May 12, 2022 at 10:15 pm

    Great ideas. Thank you. Can u please link the bathroom containers? 🙏🏼
