I saw a quote from Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain.. "Grief is the price we pay for love." I think that is very true no matter family or friend. Our precious pets are companions, good listeners and can cheer us on those difficult days. I'm sad for you and your family. So many of us know and understand your feelings. ❤

I am in the process of setting up a business to encourage everyone to buy items that are repurposed and restored. For people who appreciate and understand the value of preloved high-quality stuff. @JulieKhuu, your episode gives me the confidence that I am on the right path. In a world where we have so much, the best thing is to reduce the carbon footprint and embrace beautiful artifacts that can be loved again!😍

Love your vids. I'm an artist and I just recently started putting my own paintings around the house. Everyone I knew was asking me where is all of my art ??? I would take them to the basement where my studio is. They would say...WHY???? LOL. I retired 2 years ago, and I am finally displaying my own art in each room and I am loving it. It makes me happy to see my art and pics of family and good times had in each room as well. I love the curated look and I love antiques. I can honestly say the best advice I've heard thus far is to not follow trends. Same with clothing. You do you is a great motto. Collect timeless quality clothing, jewelry and decor items and you'll love it all always.

I’m sorry for your dog. ❤ I like how you make interior design a way of express our inner self from inside out. It brings joy and calm. I leave in a student appartment and and I am a single mom working and studying . I now reorganizing my home to recover better from lot of stress and get my energy higher. I decided to keep in my living room my musical instruments (piano, guitar and sello), a beautiful plant, the books that inspires me, a work desk and other furniture that I like. Got rid of a lot of junk. No TV for years and that works for me :) Your channel inspires me and I believe is one the key for get my energy back ❤ Merci Julie!

You are keeping it REAL - Thanks a ton. *As long as we can organize what we bring inside our homes our houses are designed to be called home* We threw many objects that we liked at a certain point, but when the house started weighing on it, we trashed it - our huge walls are now bare and beautiful. ♥ the lighting of the spaces with architectural elements.

Couldn’t agree more. Now I have moved in to my new home. I believe that we need to keep blank walls too. I have minimalist look too. I love it. Very modern look. Keep things simple is my key. I love keep the space cohesive and concentrating more on colour xx We truly are evolving.

Hi Julie so sorry for you all at the loss of your pet. It’s always soo difficult. Thank you for your vlog. It’s a while since I’ve watched you as life gets in the way, and changing my iPad didn’t help as I lost a few of my favourites, you being one of them. You are always so beautiful and your children are too. You are right about trends, I’ve stopped following them, it’s not only expensive but I used to get soo mixed up. I’m older and my kids come to stay when they can with my grandchildren, as my husband and I live in Spain and most of the family are in England. I like them to feel free and enjoy our time together. I used to get uptight if something was broken or marked, but I now know that family and friends are more important than furniture etc. like you I love mixing old with new and it’s nice not to be to precious about stuff. I love your home it’s beautiful. Thank you once again. Xx 😘

You're definitely right about changing design preferences over time. I used to like white on white and minimalist design ,then evolve with modern organic because of the influence of trends. but now i realized, that I really love the retro vintage mix with rustic design. dark hues and organic materials like expose bricks, natural wood, velvet, leather, and mix metals. I think it's always in my blood because I always love the idea of a man with a nice tux lounging with a cigar and wine in his hands and with jazz music playing.😂 And... Yes to home tour❤.

Listening to your advice and seeing different designers do things idoes give me ideas and it helps my style to evolve. Recently, I have been creating negative floor space.

I must say that I had tears of empathy when I heard about your dog. I know what a sense of loss is experienced when loosing a pet. I couldn’t agree more with every point that you made. It was so validating because so much design now does not reflect cherished personal items that have been included in a living space to give it character. Thank you for your perspectives. It’s always good to be able to hear the ideas of accomplished individuals who are willing to share their knowledge. I am curious if many of your examples are spaces that you have designed. It would be such an enjoyable video to watch to see your designed spaces and how they have evolved over the years.

My family recently moved into a new…but very old house. It was a home that has been in my husbands family for something like 200 years. I’m having a LOT of trouble decorating/designing because my husband wants to retain the historical aspects of the home while still making it our own. There’s tons of Victorian wallpaper that he doesn’t want to take down (different in every room) and he doesn’t want to hang anything on the walls because it will damage this wallpaper. So I don’t know what to do about curtains/drapes, mirrors, pictures/art. And there’s not any closets except in the master suite. So storage is a headache. And some of the strange room shapes with AT LEAST 2 doors and windows for EVERY room and having to place furniture around radiators makes achieving good feng shui very complicated. If you did a video on how to manage updating an older house without completely remodeling I’d find that very interesting.

I like the way your home has changed over the years as your family has grown. I am now thoughtful about aging in place designs. I am also decluttering. Love all your videos and ideas.

Thank you for this video! It helps relieve some of my anxiety of trying to do it all perfectly and needing a designer that I can't really afford. I get so confused sometimes partially because my house is a 100 year old Arts and Crafts home. My home is so traditional, but I have been trying to figure out how to make it more (contemporary) transitional and update it. I just can't quite figure out how to do it without spending a ton of money. Watching this video has inspired me to go to the consignment furniture stores and maybe just do it. A video on changing an older home from traditional and updating it would be very helpful.

Thanks so much for doing this video, Julie! I love your channel. My biggest problem at the moment is my living room is too long. There is only one wall that the large tv fits on and we need the couch to be somewhat close enough to it I order to watch tv. But that leaves a good 6 feet behind the couch to fill space and it’s awkward. I have a bookcase there now but it still looks weird.
@JulieKhuu
@JulieKhuu 9 ай бұрын
Is it 6ft then a wall? Or 6ft then walkway? If wall only, I would place a wide console against the wall to create another focal point. You may add symmetrical table lamps/ wall sconces and center a large statement art piece in-between. If walkway, then I would place a sofa table behind the sofa and maybe some decorative accessories, books, or a tray to corral clutter.

Apartment living is my space, and so many units are being built now . I have watched you for quite a while and after living in my 1 bedroom apt decided to make it more personel. With written permission from leasing manager. I have replaced the outdated kitchen facet and light fixture. In the bathroom .Painted walls white. Replaced sink facet,hardware, shower fixture, and added new lighting. I have purchased a new bed and sofa. Everything else is from Rose Bowl Flea market Salvation Army or thrift store and tag sales. I can really appreciate all your advice and have implemented alot of your guidance in every way .Home is Pasadena for passed 54 years and the big bonus in my place is I am on 4 th floor with mountain view. Any other small living space advice ?????? Beautiful Family bless you.

While the ads play before the video I will drop my random feng shui question here : can you explain how one goes about decorating with three colours for the colour story, say pulling colours from a rug or decorating with colours that are all in the same tone, or any of the kind of “interior design” colour choice theories / ideas … how does one do that and, at the same time, use the “nine colours for the feng shui layout” like, “yellow in this area, red in this area, blue in this area etc.? How do you make that all not clash and make noise for eyes? Thanks 🤗

You won’t be able to get it ALL right unfortunately. You must prioritize which sectors are most important to you to amplify during different phases in your life. Which is why it’s so important for me to share what I know, so you can make those decisions and discoveries. When I shoot my house tour, I’ll show you what I did to Feng Shui my own eclectic, colorful home 🥰

I’ve just suffered a personal loss myself, recently. I always find refuge in art and design. I’m in the process of painting my lower kitchen cabinets Behr’s high gloss Carbon black. It’s a hack for dark colors, using a high gloss finish. It keeps the light reflective, so it’s not AS dark if available light is around. It really makes it pop. Alternatively, using matte finish in dark colors, it makes what you put in front of it, pop.
