love, love, love the house especially the fact that the house isn’t just white makes me so happy

This might be a bit of an investment, but doing a colorful and funky wall paper in the living room would be super cool.

you could remove the door from the closet in the playroom and use a heavy curtain instead! that way you can still get into the closet if you have to put a couch there

That color green in the kitchen is SO DELICIOUS with that wood. Wow, eye candy sheeeeeesh man that looks so good

Paint murals!!! No need to worry about the prints not being large enough if you decorate the walls yourself. I did that in my old apartment and I loooooved it

Big design wallpaper was a thing in the 70s. In my house that was similar to yours, I put it in the kitchen, a coordinating plaid in the hall and on one wall in the tv room. In the living room, I painted one wall with an accent color.

This video is an accurate representation of where I'm at with wall decor. Hardly anything is hanging, but I have a million ideas.

the way you entertain Lucy has me smiling so much ahahaha. Go mama!🥰🥰

Becky from The Sorry Girls is really into mid century design as well. She also just bought a mid century house and is slowly working on it. She thrifts and DIY’s and such. You might get some inspo from her. Also, I’m sure you likely already do, but good ole Pinterest and mood boards. You can take pictures of your rooms and load them onto your iPad or whatever you use and you’ll see the space a bit better. Our eyes do a lot of editing and selecting and it can be hard to “see” the space when you’re standing in it. Take a good pic of each room, the areas you want to focus on and then play around with virtually adding and moving things around. If you’re not sure about hanging things on the walls and their effects, you can just use painters tape or paper and put them on the wall and live with it for a few days. You’ve got a lot of walls to decorate. I wouldn’t try to do them all at once. Do one room at a time, come up with a plan for it and execute that. That room will then inform what comes next. The playroom is going to be an absolute disaster for a while yet. I wouldn’t even worry about doing a thing to it yet. Start with the room you want to give you that design high the most. That can be your island of joy while the rest of the house takes shape around it. It takes time to curate a house but honestly, enjoy this stage where you have little because before you know it you’ll be wanting to rent a big ole bin and shovel it out you’ll have so much stuff lol. Enjoy the empty. For real. It’ll come. ❤

Something you could do to help exaggerate the ceiling height on the tv wall (11:08) would be adding some crown molding at the top of the wall! Hardware stores sell trim for relatively cheap and it adds character without feeling overwhelming. It's all coming together so cute!

i know youre a big paige wassel fan but something like her mod century unit on the front living room tall wall would be super cool, or modular wall shelving in general. pays homage to the era of the home while still feeling modern+functional, and you could diy or do an ikea system for cheap

The way I dropped all of my time-sensitive work items to watch this video

Print above the fridge with the plant is *chef's kiss*

I love your pink and green kitchen, its super cute! Also the living room its looking really good with the traditional bordeaux rug, the more modern pieces of furniture and the pop of color with the chartreuse pillows. I think you can find a big piece of art on some thrift store or antique market and that way the living room would look more eclectic and elevated.

wallpaper!! you can add color and still keep your home from becoming overwhelming. i love seeing wallpaper used to create accent walls

If you’re going with mid-century modern, look for a pole lamp for where your mom’s lamp is, or beside the couch, if you read.

Honestly the olive trim is really nice, I wouldn't sweat it for now.

Just realized you’re my fav KZfaqr, ur vids just hit different🤭 and ur home is lookin so beautiful and cozy!

when the music came on at 4:00 i was straight viiiiibin

you could for sure do the tv in the playroom on the wall that you want it on and just do some low profile mcm chairs in there with a cutie little table in between them in front of the tv then just like floor lamps/plants on either side of the tv and back on the other wall where you said the tv “should go” you could just do a little console table or bookshelf ((: it’s looking cute tho(: i like the greenish yellow paint personalllyyyy. but the chairs could be like red even or sum.

kinda weird but if you want to put the tv on the wall in play room that’s connected to the dining room, put a mirror above the couch where you can see the tv from the dining room. it’ll be backwards but you can still watch 🤷🏻‍♀️

One good advice, when you designing a room you dont have to push everything to the walls you can put the couch in the playing room just on the carpet edge that way you can walk around them and you can also open the door. ✨🌷 But it is a coomon sense that you have to push everything to the walls and corners but actualy the room can be more functional if you put furniture in the middle sometimes 😘

The booth is going to be so cute and simplify the kitchen so much!

@wasselpa please fly in so you guys can do an epic home decor collab 😍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I love your house so much! Great idea that wooden booth in the kitchen, I think I’d really tie in the wood from the cabinets. I think if you’d put retro wallpaper on the wall behind the tv it would make it so much more special. Maybe the butterfly print can go into Lucy’s playroom and put a long (fake?) hanging plant from the ceiling! Maybe you could also print some photographs to put up all over the house? I also really like the olive-ish trim in Lucy’s playroom, I think it really ties the room together with the kitchen! As for the Togo couch, maybe you could put it on its side; put the backrest through the door and go in with a curve motion? Anyways thank you for all the effort you put into uploading, and I hope you don’t think I’m a know-it-all, I just want to help. Lots of love! ❤

i feel like im visiting you and you’re showing me around your house it’s absolutely everything and around each corner is a special accent that just suits the vibe so we’ll and makes it feel at home and unique 💞

I’ve always said that I wanted a boring completely white house so that I can start with a fresh palette and decorate easy but your house has completely changed my view, I love how creative you are incorporating all fun and unique aspects of this home into your style

i have the exact same countertops in my house and it’s so weird to me how they are all speckled!!

i live for these house updates

you could put prints above the tv in the living room to accentuate the wall height!

9:46 maybe installing a sliding door or barn door type thing would be nice with that closet. Since you have alot of empty space next to the door, and that way you could fit a chair or some form of setting and it not be in the way

The ptsd from the bus LOL 😭

yess do a huge gallery wall like full of prints

I think you need to play around a bit with a color palette tool before adding anything more, it will save you time and money... and it might help to think more in terms of tones and balance rather than actual coors from the get go... the wood in your house adds a lot of warmth so it will help to figure out first whether you want to accentuate or balance that out.. then you can decide if you go warm or cool toned colors.. also pay attention to contrast: in the kitchen for example you have the muted 'dirty' pink and added the muted 'dirty' green which dulls the whole place a lot... it's fine if that's what you're going for but is it? (usually kitchens can take a bit more playfulness). As per the living room I'd add something crisp and 'clean' like navy blue, or something 'rich' like burgundy with maybe some mustard yellow to brighten things up.. best of luck,

The tulip pic is good on that wall at the end of the couch.

i bet this is super pricey, but i think it would look great if you could frame the windows on the inside in the same kind of dark wood that frames the doors!

what about a toned down red and white vertical stripe wallpaper in the living room? i, personally, think that could look really cool in there especially paired with the rug and pillows! not on the whole room, but the wall behind the couch

i've been waiting for this video!!! i'll watch it right after work ❤🥵

this style of video was sweet!!

I love the updates, and the prints are so cute!! Also, so many options but I think a gallery wall in the living room would be so cute!

Maybe a little hanging plant above the lamp next to the tv to showcase the height of the ceiling?

The gallery wall on the wall behind the sofa would look really good:) You could also add a hanging plant in the corner between the sofa wall and the one where you were debating putting the flower print.

Ur house is so cute! Love your content❤️

In my opinion the strawberry print looked great in the nursery and I really liked the one with the flowers above the doorframe

a shelf with smaller plants or pothos like plants above your tv would fill the space beautifully imo!

i think adding art above the tv would be too busy, but around the sides is super cute like you did. i think that the wall above the couch is such a large space that 1-3 large prints would be cute (spaced out), or a gallery wall with a variety of prints, shapes, sizes, etc. random idea - an upholstered ottoman for ernie's dog bed that can live next to the couch, so he's right there but not directly on it.

idk if theyre just a thing in australia but we use sticky picture tabs that you can just pull of the wall without any damage to hang prints so you don't have to damage the house and fully commit

Everything looks great!! Another informative & nice video presentation. 👊😏👍

I’d do an accent color on that wall behind the couch.

Definitely paint that trim baby blue

looks sooo so lovely! a clock above the doorframe in the living room by the tv might be cute?

I think if you're going to put a print that size above the living room couch it should be landscape instead of portrait, or do a photo wall of sort. Or a tryptic print could be nice. Or three of a theme. I really like Toulouse-Lautrec or Leonetto Cappiello for prints because their work is poster art/ ads from the early 1900's and have a very cool colourful style. Love how the house is coming along!

We need to see an update from the house! It’s about the time 😂😂

looking sooo good

Ur killing it

Obsessed with everything

Yes to baby blue trim!!!

such a cute space!

get Paige Wassel to help u

Nice job!❤❤

no way i watched your other house videos today hahaha

I’m not sure if this is possible but with the tv situation you could put it on the wall it’s suppose to go on but on a tv arm so that you can pull it away from the wall and turn it into the kitchen doorway. Im not sure if there are tv arms long enough though

Have you considered a retro print wallpaper for your living room? The picture above the fridge looks okay because it has toning colours. I'm not a fan of carpeting and don't even have rugs. With a crawling baby, you want to be able to quickly clean the floor as often as required. I say ditch the rug, but the decision is yours.

Babesss where have you beennn 😭 miss you, but i hope everything’s okay! can’t wait for ur next vid 🪩💫

would love to see you and paige wassel do a little collab !!

Not the bus lmfaoo

i’m a bit late to this video but it’s so cute seeing you interact with lucy, i love seeing people be silly and happy it’s so wholesome 😭

i would love to see Paige Wassel help out with you place!

Let's see if Atomic Ranch Magazine will come calling, or Charles Phoenix.

what is ur nail polish color & brand ? love it

Sometimes it helps me to take a picture of the space and the prints (or whatever you want to hang) and then edit it on canva to see what you like better on the wall before you permanently hang it :)

Wow! I sure have a lot of decorating opinions!

Wh not make that room with the sliding door to outside a dining room

I'm 100% adamant that you have to like in a house for min of 2 years to decide where you like your furniture. We change our rooms every summer and winter

living room should have a bunch of picture frame behind the couch, Lucys room only should have the strawberry, no paintings in kitchen, and the bench instead of ernies photo put that green picture frame.

Ummmmm okay I know you said you can’t just buy those lightbulbs but like are you sure?? I have the IDENTICAL lamp but it has no bulbs I can’t find ones that are the right size they’re always too big. It’s just been sitting all wrapped up since I bought it a year ago lmao pls help. Can you unscrew one and see if they say anything on them?

Dear Laini Do you like wearing black knee high boots ? Do you often wearing black knee high boots.?Regards

Girl put up some real curtains (from the top of the ceiling too)

the video is nice, but the Sound IS really bad :(

Hey please be careful to keep your dog away from that peace lily plant - they are very toxic to pets and can make them very sick
