My favorite splurge are my Drexel Heritage dining room chairs I purchased 18 years ago! They are Edwardian ball and claw, carved arm and side chairs in a rich mahogany finish with a custom cream and taupe striped damask upholstered seat. They were an extravagant investment but the enjoyment they bring every single day was well worth the expenditure. To this day, I still think they are absolutely glorious! 😍💗😍

The two favorite tips I soooo agree with, are no matching furniture sets and pulling furniture away from the wall. My splurge was a oversized french country pine armoire with a carved bonnet top that was originally $4,000.00 but I got for $900.00 because there was a small damaged area on the door (probably from movers).... so I just hung a gorgeous grapevine whispy wreath from a velvet ribbon on the door and you can't even notice it!!!! Score!!!!!

@@helengreen6724 Nothing made me happier after I recovered from mourning my late husband than when my last TV broke. It sat atop a little 5 1/2 foot armoire in the bedroom corner. It was too bulky for me to handle alone so after careful contemplation I moved the stripped down bed in front of the armoire and placed every pillow I owned on and beside the bed and pushed it off. I felt like a genuine Mc Guiver Univ graduate as I rolled to the floor, and slid the dolly under it and out the front door. I've been YT exclusive for 7 yrs. Never going back.

Agree with all these tips plus the main one I read in the comments about nice blinds. My biggest splurge ever was a classic tan leather sofa and loveseat many years ago that still look amazing. This year I did something I've never done before and ordered a gorgeous oval ottoman with crazy expensive ($160/yd) performance fabric. It took forever because of this darn pandemic but it's to die for! Now I'm thinking of a framed TV but I'm on team Lisa Holt that they never go so high as above a fireplace like the images shown.

Same goes for my dining room that we are currently re-doing. Biggest splurge will be all the trim to match the original house style (1910 Colonial Revival).

My dad put a fluorescent light fixture in his kitchen, like the office kind, in 1990. I think he had to change out a ballast once years ago; that fixture is still going strong. A money saver. His kitchen always looks bright and not bluish. And never heard buzzing ever. Maybe it's how they make the new lights. (He grew up in the depression, and always looked for ways to save money.)

Art conservation. Mom was an artist, Dad owned an art gallery. Grandmas (on both sides) were artists, Grandpa was an artist - all of them commercially successful, they were not hobbyists. Let's say I have no shortage of art! Most of it 50 or more years old. Sending all of them off to be conserved and re-framed (or have the frames re-done) cost a fortune and was worth every penny.

Splurge: Room accessories such as a large iron divider or large candle holders. Love this video because it truly educates on the overall feel and lifestyle of a home. In my culture unfortunately there are more homes than not that tend to be decorated in a way that looks cheap. Those who learn about decor and lifestyle like you are teaching in this video can be low income and still show class and elegance in their homes (which in turn elevates the way one lives at home no matter what your income). I’ve definitely seen homes that are well off financially but are decorated in a way that makes it look cheesy and tacky.

amen to getting rid of the fluorescent light boxes. But I cannot stand LED lighting. None of it can match the glow of incandescent which is really hard to buy these days. Next best thing is halogen even though they are so hot. Sconces give more beautiful lighting at night anyway. I know overhead is practical but it’s just hideous in terms of ambience. when it comes to the boob light, aren’t those sad? I think my favorite alternative to a boob light was at a friends house: she had a ceiling fan that had both downlights and an uplight option, Perfect for movie night. Practical down light when needed, gentle ambient light as desired, and a fan for those hot summer nights. Spot on with all of your advice, in general.

What type of light would you put in an 8 foot high entry where the top of the door is only 3” from the ceiling? The door is 4ft and 2ft with another 6" on either side. There are closets on both sides inside the door. There needs to be a light there, however I have not seen a lot of lights that are thin enough not to bump the door when it opens. My splurge is primarily our sofa, however rugs, and lights are close behind with some time in between.

I have heard other designers say, put something in that space to indicate a foyer. Give the eye something to rest on. My old house was colonial style. When you entered the front door, the first thing you saw were the stairs, then a hall closet just to the right.Then, on each side a doorway either to the living room or the dining room. There was no wall or floor space. So, I hung one beautiful brass hook on the narrow slice of wall between the stairway and the closet door, and sponge painted the walls in 4 diffrent step to look like wall paper. It was eye catching. Visitors always stopped and stared and asked about it.

I splurged on my couch. It's a good sturdy leather that I hope will age beautifully and be with me for many years

The biggest splurge I think should be a quality bed! You sleep 1/3 of your life and that needs to be a quality sleep. I never regretted a penny on the nice bed we bought
