too many ads! it’s basically impossible watching a video on your channel!
Wasn’t that wall black a few weeks ago…?
What do you think about a Bible on the coffee table?
Loving binge watching your videos as I prepare to furnish my first place. My fave basic is plants! Crazy plant lady right here! So lush and calming.
Great ideas but Down inserts are a complete no no for me – the cruelty to those poor birds is unimaginable……I have a v high end insert that’s artificial fibers and works v well
Thank you for this amazing video!
I forgot! I also buy special tea cups for my tea lovers
I am really enjoying all your videos. Love the input about where to find items and your depth when talking about trends vs classics
Thanks for sharing!
A double door in a single door frame?
Silk comforters are amazing too. Light, yet warm…but pricey.
My fav blanket was the herringbone-like one, black/white, with the long fringe. Where from?
Y ou are so much fun to watch. Your joyfulness is infectious.
I just got books for my night stand and now I’m using two of them to keep my cables in place they are so helpful and they’re interesting books too. So glad you mentioned books.
Ironically, when recommending things from Amazon, you act as if Amazon is a manufacturer of the product. Why? Mention the brand instead.
I agree with almost all of your suggestions with the exception of down pillow inserts. There are so many alternatives that are cruelty free.
I don’t understand the "coffee table book" thing. Maybe because I live in Europe. I have never seen a home with coffee table books. Most of the time, the coffee table is empty, or covered up with random magazines, or only decorated with a plant or a beautiful ashtray…
We used to have the books and magazines we were reading on the coffee table, but it always got very messy. So we agreed to always put back the books in the bookcase when we go out of the sofa. It is way better now.
Nice advices, though. I would definitely buy some vases. I have a few one, all are gifts, and none is my style. They are very glam, or traditional with a lot of colorful decor, and I like neutrals and scandinavian style 🙁 So all the 3 vases I didn’t yet purge are in the basement now, only one is used when someone offers me flowers (the least rococo one!)
I had a neighbor walk into my home and she asked me “now what them is this?” And I answered “I guess my theme is no theme”. Don’t get me wrong I love watching almost all decorating videos…even the themed ones but I love my “timeless” decor. Which is why I love watching your videos.
What do you think about ruggabbles rugs? They are supposed to be washable rugs.
What color is your wall??
Good Morning… thank you for the great info! Just wondering "which" duvet you prefer from Amazon??
Was coffee table mentioned? I think I need one. the idea of the wood furniture just needing a new finish is brilliant
Window treatments 😘
YesValentina, please do a video on area rugs, sizing, etc.
Not down. Hurt no creatures….please! Faux down, leather, etc. Also more hypoallergenic ! Realllllly!
Amazing video! You are a joy to watch
House of Valentina,
Can I ask why you’ve all moved over 20 times? I’m so curious. Was it to experience places to live around the world or was it work related reasons? Will you continue to move to different countries? Inquiring minds want to know. LOL 🤔
You make design look so easy and elegant. I love, "I just picked this up at Home Depot" 😉 "I’ve found some really great ones at target." "I got these from Amazon. "Fabulous!!! I’ve always loved finding the unexpected treasure… like the amazing rug I got at Home Goods for a steal. Thank you for your inspiration in the home and in your beauty, inside and out. You could totally be my laughing/sense of humor twin. God bless you and your family.
Request: what do you look for when buying furniture/rugs, etc… online? I’m terrified of spending good money and hating it. Especially when you often have to pay to ship back. I spend hours reading reviews, but they often contradict each other. I need a bed and rugs right now, but store choices are limited and I have a hard time shopping. Pottery Barn is out of the budget right now. (E.g., how do you know how it’s going to feel, how plush or soft? What are your go-to tips for shopping online?
Thank you!
Thnx Valentina for sharing your valuable knowledge with us 🤩❤️
Stay Blessed Stay Happy 😘🤗🥰🧚♀️🦄🌈🧿
You hate Crate and Barrel???
New Subscriber here. Thanks for your content. I really relate to and enjoy your creative talent.
Valentina, PLEASE do a video on rugs. I love to decorate but selecting the proper style, size and color is so difficult. I need your help.
I have enjoyed your videos and the joy that is evident in each video that you exude. You obviously love what you do. I loved idea of signature accessories.
Such great ideas. I am looking forwards to checking out these basics as well as combining with minimalism.
All great tips I I’m definitely going to look into changing my pillow inserts thanks Valentina 👍
I agree with so many of your tips! Love watching you.
My apartment is a little over 300 sq feet.
Trust me, coffee table books are not essential. 🙂
I am a brand new fan. I am just going back to your older you tube. Btw you look lovely with this lipstick color . It looks much nicer on you than the one with brown tint. I love everything else here. Thx.
That lipstick is FABULOUS on you
Love it
Something I have always had and still do is a tea kettle on the stove ready for company who ❤️ tea. Also it looks homey.
Hi Valentina! I love your Persian area rug. Looks amazing. Found one with same design in rugs USA but seems different in the colors. The one I found was grey the one you have has some black and cream color. Where did you buy yours? I have been searching everywhere.
I love this video because we already have all of those basics! Thanks for making me feel like I’m doing the right thing!
U remind of Julia louis drefus- u sound exactly the same…. same voice and same laugh!!
Hi Valentina, I live in Andalucia, Spain in the little mountain town of Velez Blanco. Our property is a cortijo, in the campo in the mountains…….a wonderful location. It is traditionally Spanish, with wooden ceiling beams, a log burner in the fireplace, tiled floors and white walls everywhere. My issue is that I want to make it more stylish and fresh……..my sofa furniture is grey linen, but I’m about to add caramel toned cushions to blend with the terracotta floors. I have a hotch potch of furniture woods throughout, however. Any advice on the approach? I’m thinking of painting various pieces but it’s probably not the right thing to do all in one colour per room. I have no curtains due to the persianas, but should I add them? I need a way of thinking to create the balance…….can you point me to a specific video of yours, please? And I love your approach by the way! My house in England was very much like your place today xx
What size did you purchase for your Pottery Barn faux fur ruched throw blankets?
Great video. I love your sand timer! I never see anyone mention anything about crystal pieces. I love them and I have quite a few that I have had for years. One such piece is a crystal clock by Shannon glass/Godinger that I won at a PTA meeting raffle when I was in the 5th grade! It is now over 20 years old (still works!) and It is sitting on my coffee bar next to a vintage crystal tray that holds my coffee and sugar. Next to that is a silver mug tree that holds my Godinger crystal coffee mugs. Are crystal/glass pieces out? I will never get rid of my crystal clock, but I am just wondering?
Your lighting is really nice in this video, as well as your lipstick! 😉
I’m interested in alternatives that so not use products that cause pain and suffering or even death to animals. I know the down is incredibly cruel and I would assume the camel hair is too. The Company Store does have down alternative inserts and comforters.
My son asked me this morning if we could watch the nice lady that gives us color and house advice, oh my goodness he already loves you like his mama does 😆
