I can’t tell you how hard it was for me to have a vision for a home when I was looking to buy hen it was cluttered and dirty. I forced myself to go in one that smelled when the realtor opened the door … I couldn’t get out fast enough.

Even when you live in beautiful designed & expensive home, but it is messy & dusty because you are going through a lot, plus mourning. Sometimes you just don't want to let anyone around, including the housekeeper. A beautiful home is not assurance of happiness. Otherwise I always enjoy your personality and advice.👍

I know it's a tiny, insignificant thing but I really love to decant my liquid dishwashing, laundry and hand soaps into nice bottles. I also decant my cooking oils into bottles that take my eye. It might be the colour, the shape or even a texture. Even though they are hidden in a drawer next to the stove, it feels luxurious to pour olive oil from a fancy bottle.

My son's girlfriend has a 325 square foot apartment in which is painted, furnished and decorated in all white except for a few accent colors in each room. Living room curtain rods are black and all her art is framed in white except for one in black. The kitchen features a black tea pot on the stove, the bedroom has a 6 drawer black dresser and the bath has a black soap dispenser. However, the interior of the front door is painted a true red in high gloss. I think it looks like a chic NY micro-loft.

I’ve found that over time my style has changed and I have been wanting a more sophisticated and elegant looking space. I really love the colors dusty pink/mauve with greens and then lately I’ve been liking that burnt orange/amber kind of color, which I’m struggling with finding the perfect shade that doesn’t look like a pumpkin orange. It has been a journey putting together a color palette!

✨ One small touch I like to do, is put liquors in beautiful crystal decanters in an uncluttered bar area with a nice tray. Elegant lead crystal decanters need not be expensive, and can be found in Thrift Stores because they don't seem to know the difference in cheap glass or heavy an upscale crystal. You betcha I take advantage of that fact, LOL! Cheers! 🥃🍸🍷

Years ago my son moved into his first place and got some Ikea grey metal and glass tables. The coffee table kicked around here for years, sometimes on the porch. When I did my living room floor in a dark waxed terra cotta I had an idea- I sanded down that table, spray painted it in a dark brass metallic and it looks very chic with the clear glass top. It lightens the terracotta and it's unique and under $30 :) Flowers are a must, even a couple of sprigs in the bathroom. I've recently been furniture shopping for modern things as am buying a new townhouse in town (I am rural). Honestly I am so disgusted by the stuff that is available, I'm not sure what to do, short of buying from Europe. Why are all furniture legs now splayed out like they are broken?

For ambience in the evening, I use medium base dark amber flame light bulbs, 25 to 40 watts only. If you want dim lighting for atmosphere it will turn your living room into a Paris apartment. I've been doing this for years and it works. The flame bulbs cast dramatic shapes onto the ceiling and looks really cozy. Of course, you also need to have bright lights as well somewhere, so you don't have to change the bulbs every time you need extra light.

I found an awesome modern retro glass and chrome light fixture to replace the boob lamp, and instead of the undersized and sad little fan (tulip shades and gold pasteboard blades) we put in our super manly ceiling fan of death. (It's huge and powerful and wood and steel.)

We all need an ultra luxurious Albert in our lives! I always use wall paint on my ceilings. I noticed you can get "ceiling paint" for cheap in a big bucket, and that made me suspicious. I had to paint my vaulted ceilings this summer (not fun), so I went with the main wall color (Swiss coffee). I wanted to leave the wood beams alone, but that turned into a disaster. After a few mishaps with the roller, I just went ahead and painted the beams too. I does make a huge difference. The kitchen looked 100% better even before I got to the walls.

My home was built in 1940 and the ceilings in the livingroom and dining room are very highly textured plaster. Not really my taste but I'm keeping them because it suits the house and the skill to plaster this way is almost lost. They could use a refresh on the paint but I'm still trying to decide on the white or off white color to use. So many whites! Love your style and your videos.❤

The comment about the roller rink had me in stitches. 🤣

I think crown molding details elevate the room, curtains hung higher above the window, a rich oil painting with a beautiful antique frame, crystal chandelier with a ceiling medallion and a nice, preferably wool, rug. I have a very small house but I like vibrant bathrooms with jewel tones. Liking things and pulling it off are two different things. I like gold details, but not over the top. I think having a mix of vintage/antique and new looks good as long as it compliments each other. I used to think I liked French decor but you really have to tap the brakes on too much of that. I'll settle for a hint of it. I have a French, leaning floor mirror with a gilded frame and an elaborate Chippendale mirror in the foyer. I don't like busy or too heavy but I am not a minimalist either. It's so hard with a little house. I want it to look good but not gaudy. I love your videos. My husband laughs at me because I am always glued to one them.

I think updating sink faucets and door handles to levers makes a home look more expensive.

Thank you Garrett for your suggestions on curtain hardware. I have a stepped tray ceiling 14 to 12’ in my dining room. There is 18” from the top of my window to the ceiling. Do you recommend taking my curtain rod to the ceiling or 1/2 way between the ceiling & window?? Thank you
