    Hi Julie, I am stuck in decorating my living room. My challenge is finding the focal point (where to place the tv). There is a corner area where we have temporarily place the TV as this set up maximizises the space. I can place the 2 sofas facing each other towards the largest wall of the room making the living area narrow. Help!

    Would love to see you cover mixing wood tones in a video. Great content love the channel 👏

    Help! I have black door handles and hinges brushed nickel faucets and shower heads. It’s a farmhouse style home just built. All appliances are stainless steel and all walls including cabinets are a white. I love the gold contrast with the nickel and black but I have no clue how to put them in light fixtures or what to mix and match.

  6. Lenora Everett on February 13, 2022 at 11:08 pm

    My favorite kitchen sink faucet that also has a bar faucet only comes in stainless. The sink, refrigerator, and double oven are stainless, too. I have wanted chrome hardware. Do you think that could work, or would stainless hardware be better? I really don’t want a gold metal, and black seems trendy. I’m planning on white cabinets, with only 4 ft of uppers (in the bar).

  7. Sharon Rowe on February 13, 2022 at 11:08 pm

    Giving my kitchen a makeover the cabinet is dark my light fixtures are dark what color handle would go

  12. °•Aster•° #stopAnimalTesting on February 13, 2022 at 11:14 pm

    Hi Julie, I have a question for you regarding hardware for kitchen and bathroom vanities, can we mix handle and knobs on drawers and cabinets ? Is it old school, do sleek handles give modern look?

  13. Sophie Green on February 13, 2022 at 11:14 pm

    But where did you get your top? 🙂

  14. Monica Alves on February 13, 2022 at 11:15 pm

    I have chrome door knobs and white doors and ceilings. I have grey machiatto cabinets with brushed nickel hardware matching the appliances. My kitchen faucet and island pendants are brass.
    I added chrome door knobs to go with my stair rails which have dark wood and chrome cables.
    So now, I don’t know what color curtain rods a I should use. Black or Chrome?
    Should I change my cabinets hardware to chrome or brass?
    Thank you!

  15. Shopping Mail on February 13, 2022 at 11:15 pm

    Well I got sliver gold and black in a 3bedroom apartment

  16. bethany castillo on February 13, 2022 at 11:15 pm

    Sweet video. Thank you

  17. Family Seitz on February 13, 2022 at 11:16 pm

    Ok help please… stainless steel appliances, polished nickel faucet and hardware, aged gold lighting. So does that mean I have four different metals going on?

  18. Tamara Gohn on February 13, 2022 at 11:18 pm

    I’m doing a new kitchen right now. Black cabinets on bottom. White on top. Stainless appliances. I picked brushed gold cabinet hardware for all. should I have used black pulls on top and gold on bottom or is gold wrong all together? I’ve bought it all but can return for 90 days. I also have 2 beautiful 12" black cage brass sputnik pendants that I love over a 5’x3′ island that is on the perimeter of kitchen .White quartz countertops with very little gray veining. Subtle white subway tile backsplash. Black light over sink. Is what I’m doing ok?🙏

  19. Nokuthula Nyanda on February 13, 2022 at 11:18 pm

    Just as I wondering if I could mix metals 🙏♥️♥️♥️thanks Julie

  20. Eddie Alva on February 13, 2022 at 11:19 pm

    Greetings from Perú, the largest Gold and Silver producer in the World! Thank you for sharing your videos. Just one question: What kind of light would you recommend for silver objects?

  21. Judi Macheka on February 13, 2022 at 11:20 pm

    Wish you could help me out with my new home. Its super overwhelming.

  22. Donna White on February 13, 2022 at 11:21 pm

    Hi Julie I want to thank you so much for your great tips, ideas you have helped me so much, I’m a sixty yr old Who loves to watch HGTV but still when it came to decorating my own home, clueless, I’m doing my living room over right now still was clueless but your does and don’ts all these new YouTube’s I just have gotten into you and appreciate you so much thank you sincerely Donna

  23. Diane Tsang on February 13, 2022 at 11:21 pm

    What type of color finish would work best for my bathroom doorknob if the rest of the bathroom hardware are all matte black and the tiles on the floor and walls are white with slight grey veining? Also, would I need to match the rest of the doorknobs finish of the other rooms that are on the same floor as the bathroom then?

  24. RaRaRabbleRouser on February 13, 2022 at 11:24 pm

    Thank you. I’m upcycling 2 kidney tables and an end table, and I’ve just finished an upright piano desk – all for my living room. It’s the perfect opportunity to incorporate a warm metal into the room. This is exactly what I needed. Thank you.

  25. Jeanette Brunet on February 13, 2022 at 11:27 pm

    😏

  26. Denisha Brown on February 13, 2022 at 11:28 pm

    Great advice! Thank you!!!!!

  27. Anaid y Homero Villarreal on February 13, 2022 at 11:29 pm

    Julie! Please help me. My entire kitchen has stainless steel … in appliances, faucet, sink, and light fixture. I loved champagne gold color for the hardware cabinets. Is that too much gold ? Or not gold enough?

  28. Marilyn on February 13, 2022 at 11:29 pm

    Where do I send the check for this Master class.

  29. Gabriela Escalante on February 13, 2022 at 11:30 pm

    Thank you, the video helped me a lot.
    I still indecisive I don’t know the difference between brushed nickel or chrome

  30. Gioia Corti on February 13, 2022 at 11:32 pm

    Ca you please do also a video where you explain how to mix wood furniture with wood flooring?

  31. Bathshua Eshet B'nayahu on February 13, 2022 at 11:33 pm

    We’re in the process of doing major renos in our home. We live in a small (about 1200 Sq ft) rowhome in Philadelphia. I LOVE farmhouse sinks and am considering putting one in the kitchen. We are considering oil rubbed bronze fixtures (as we also are doing in the bathroom), so my question for you is can we pair that with a stainless steel or chrome farmhouse sink or would the ceramic be better?

  32. manjeera vedantam on February 13, 2022 at 11:34 pm

    What about spray painting the pieces gold ?

  33. amla paramanand on February 13, 2022 at 11:35 pm

    Hi Julie !
    Thank you for creating these informative videos. Im then process of building. Home will be a warm white with light engineered hardwood floor and white kitchen with navy blue island. I’m going with brass hardware but afraid of using brass all throughout the home. I really wanted black knobs and hinges all throughout but afraid it won’t tie into the kitchen. I do want brass in some other rooms as well. Thoughts ?

  34. Ncotton3 on February 13, 2022 at 11:36 pm

    Julie Thank you for your in depth detail on decorating. I am working on a re-do of my kitchen open concept living room. I have successfully mixed metals in my living room with 3 shadow boxes in soft gold in decreasing sizes and 3 vases with brushed finish in silver gold and cooper/bronze also in decreasing sizes. The other shadow boxes hv 1 glass vase the smallest has plant. When doing kitchen I love a soft gold light fixture and soft gold drawer pulls. Any suggestions on how to incorporate the other metals of silver and cooper/bronze. Faucets or appliances table setting?

  35. Daniela R on February 13, 2022 at 11:37 pm

    Hi Julie, great segment, this has helped me quite a bit. I used polished chrome in my main bath for faucet and hardware and right now all my interior door hardware is brushed nickel and the front and back doors are matte black hardware. I am doing a kitchen/mudroom reno and was thinking about matte black cabinet hardware and brushed nickel faucet/sink as appliances are brushed. Mudroom (35sq feet) will have black hardware on cabinets as will the exterior french doors that open into the mudroom. My question is, should i change out all my interior door hardware from brushed nickel to matte black? Also, do you think rounded bar pulls on a very slim shaker is a good idea or would that clash?

  36. thangamani pillai on February 13, 2022 at 11:39 pm

    Too gud
    Thanx for all ur ideas
    Loving it

  42. Kristy Frith on February 13, 2022 at 11:48 pm

    My one question would be if your appliances count as one of your metals? Like chrome appliances. Thank you!

  43. Diane Joseph on February 13, 2022 at 11:54 pm

    I did appreciate this video.. I really need some help doing an upgrade..

  44. Umaasankari Natarajan on February 13, 2022 at 11:54 pm

    You are so generous in sharing all that knowledge which must have taken years of learning and lots of trial and error for you….. thank you.

  45. K H on February 13, 2022 at 11:55 pm

    Julie – Thanks SO MUCH for this video and all the others! I’ve learned so much. I’m updating our older home since retiring, and your examples and inspiration with furniture, color and metal colors have been great!!!

  46. Coco Co on February 13, 2022 at 11:55 pm

    You are a life saver, and I am so glad I found your channel.A question about unifying the whole home. Once I’ve picked my 2 to 3 metals, do these need to repeat in every room in the home to create the unity, or can one metal carry through and then play off of that in different rooms? Thank you for your wisdom! x

  47. Hal Bui on February 13, 2022 at 11:56 pm

    Hi Julie! I like the way you mix metals. I have never mixed metals, but now I will, just got a new vanity it comes with two sets of hard wares brushed nickle and black, I have a nice chrome faucet so maybe with black handles. Your thoughts? Thanks.

  48. sandy essink on February 13, 2022 at 11:57 pm

    I have never mixed gold in the coffee table. I wanted a round marble top with black legs but ebded up with a glass top and marble underneath with gold legs. One thing I noticed it softened the room. Should I paint the legs black?

  49. sasha038 on February 13, 2022 at 11:57 pm

    What would you recommend with brushed nickel? The interior will be fairly neutral.

  50. C Lind on February 13, 2022 at 11:58 pm

    Your explanations with pictures are so helpful and I now feel vindicated in feeling there are too many matching elements in our kitchen remodel that’s getting started so I need to follow my gut. I’m not feeling confident that I’ll pick the right ones but as least I’m on a path I’m comfortable with.
