Ok, is it just me or is it too cute that the white book on the mantel looks like it’s perched on Valentinas head during most of the video ?

Yes, though grey is not a good color for her to wear in terms of being flattering. I think we all struggle with buying colors we like, or are in fashion, but which don’t show us at our best.

Jack needs his own channel! 😂 I have one of those blankets, it was the comforter on my bed in college, recently it's been used to cover the seats in my vehicle when I take the dog to the vet. lol. I live in a 1908 farmhouse and I completely agree about all the old stuff. I love our house and I love antiques but too many of them makes your house feel like a museum instead of like a home.

Antiques are cool. You can always rotate the collection to keep things fresh, instead of just displaying them all at once.

I think lighting can make a house look dated and frumpy - the fixtures and types of bulbs. New lighting makes such a difference. I also think dingy towels, like hand towels in a first floor bathroom or even your own bath towels that only your family sees, can make a home seem frumpy. It's hard to keep everything up to date, but freshening up a few things each season makes a difference.

Minimal Mid century modern is my decor style. This is the part that hurts!! I have a good friend who will not invite us to her home due to it is not to the décor level of my home. I have a family member who struggles with walking into our home based on the style and care I put into my home. 😳 We love to host many get togethers with friends and family. I love to cook and my husband enjoys smoking meat and side dishes. Wishing individuals would see our heart and desire for a healthy relationship with people we love. The blessing… we have a small group of safe healthy friends. Very few family.

When I was a kid in the 80's, my parents had a brown, satiny comforter on their king-sized waterbed (lol). My younger siblings and I referred to it as the "silky covers" and refused for years to let my parents get rid of it...even after it developed giant holes from repeated washings. It finally had to be thrown away after our cat climbed into it through one of the holes, got stuck, and we had to cut it up to get her out! 😄😄😄

@cyndeewenzel6439 8 ай бұрын

I could never sleep on a waterbed, I could never get warm even if they had a heater. How about the rainbow comforter from the 80's?

O K. Now you've come into territory more familiar. I picked up on everything that was pertinent to me. Everything, and probably more. Thanks for the great show.

@fionaschiffl8065 9 ай бұрын

LOL! I could hear you both giggling with me when the ex took the 4 recliners! I’m still in shock how much painting the lounge has left it with a magical atmosphere when I put new curtains up high. Nothing is going back in here that’s not making me smile. Cas from Clutterbug explains the 4 ways people organise. It’s life changing and makes you understand how the family likes to organise too. Rattling sash windows and doors make my home frumpy. Oh the decades long challenge of trying to put the pulled thread back in the blanket is one I’ll never win. Love the mothballs, Kermit and Luke Skywalker… ❤

We bought this beautiful house. Now we have to decorate. I’ve been watching your shows and have gotten many great ideas from them. But yes, we brought with us that frumpy reclining chair with the tombstone throw that is my husbands favorite seat. That will remain for the time being , but it is surrounded with great couches and a nice throw inspired by you. I have a stair case almost like yours and I will be painting the under part with cracked pepper. Everyone who enters, love all the nice decor. But there that chair sits….heh!.

Good tips here - could you be more specific about the comment "beige on beige? How is that different than white on white on white? My first 3 custom built homes were painted in white and I'm not a cool tone person. I switched to beige with contrasting accents and it feels warm and cozy to me.

The kitchen was a monotonous frump of paint that was the color of masking tape, with chips on the edges and stains throughout. I just finished painting the lower cabinets Behr’s Carbon black in high gloss, with a few other spots to match. It’s still got the masking tape color, but it looks so much better now! I found the original color and I’m going to touch up the other color to get rid of the stains and chips that weren’t covered by the black. And I rent! But - NO FRUMPS GIVEN!

@fionaschiffl8065 9 ай бұрын

I also have masking tape coloured subway tiles and benches. Just painted the main area and kitchen walls white and it’s made the yellow more subtle and the orange timber floors next to the faded dusty pink carpet are almost tolerable. Been wondering what colour to paint the orangey oak cupboards. Thanks for the inspiration. ❤

@lindatoews5265 9 ай бұрын

You gotta live! And to Fiona, if you can change the orangey timber floors or pink carpet then the best colours for cabinetry should have a subtle green undertone it will help neutralize the orangey tones. White will reflect whatever colour is around. I hope that helps. IE. Pashmina by Benjamin Moore, something in that hue. 😊

My boyfriend has a gorgeous home that’s beautifully decorated with quality everything. But omg, the master bedroom bed is a worn out spring mattress with an equally matched box spring. His sheets are very high quality, too, but the down comforter has lost all the loft and it’s gathered in the corners of the baffles. I have a high quality bed and I’m picky! I’ve hinted and asked and pointed out, and he seriously can’t see the issues. I’m frustrated and don’t know what to do except never spend the night there. Valentina, the moth balls went right over your head. So cute! 😂

I am exactly the same about the bed. It cannot have a wrinkle in it. The bed linen has to be changed regularly and I couldn’t get into an unmade bed. I think sometimes if you’ve been in your home a long while you don’t notice it needs updating. Moving is a great time to get rid of stuff and buy new. Buying new cushion covers and throws can change up a room but themed rooms are a no-no for me. Never owned a mothball in my life!
