I vote leave the panels up for winter for a warm and cozy look, and take them down for summer for a light and airy look

Dear Scott, I started to cry at the overview of the two rooms at the end. Overcome in remembrance of my grandma's home. You've brought cohesion to the two rooms through the curtains, but also the placement of the furniture and accessories. It's just a wonderful sight. The touches of green, the rug just beautiful. Don't change a thing. Jersey Ann from NJ 🥲

Beautiful rich colour chosen for the Curtains. Makes it all a perfect setting. Its a Triumph ! Simply magnificent, Scott 👏👏👏♥️

I like it with the panels

Oh no, no wallpaper border; that’s so 70s. Love the valance. It could be OK by itself, IMO.

Leave the panels up along with the valance - they add a richer and more finished look to the dining room than just the valance by itself.

I like the panels! Your home is so cozy, Scott!

The long curtains along with the top balance make the room so warm and inviting. Very Nice! You have such wonderful taste.

I love the panels with the valance. The room feels warm and blends with the living room.

I like the windows with the panels included. It’s a much more cohesive and warm look.

Scott, your home is so beautiful!! Warm and inviting. Good job!!

Yes yes yes. The cozy factor. The focal point it creates. The warmth they add. Love the panels, so authentic to the space.

Absolutely adore the valance WITH the panels. A more formal, finished look. I think balance alone is a bit too contemporary. Love your home. You are truly bringing her beauty back.

I vote yes to the panels; they make the space feel inviting while adding a splash of warmth & elegance 🏡!

Scott, your home is beautifully decorated, and so inviting! I think the curtains work well together!!! Great idea! Bravo!👏👏👏

Please keep the panels ~ I love the way they add another layer and it makes the window seem more balanced to the eye

Add the panels. Will be a rich, cozy look!

I vote to keep the panels. Beautiful!

I wasn't sure at first, but once they are up I Love them, great job Scott

I like the panels…..you’re doing such a wonderful job! Congratulations

I love the drapes! It looks so cosy!

Keep the crimson panels, I think the color is fabulous and the warmth they give is cozy. Summer could go without the panels, but not the winter.

I really like how you've turned the couch at an angle. Gives a welcoming feeling like some reaching their arms out to welcome you as you walk in. 🤗

😂Scott it's beautiful! Once you hang the light over the table, it will be perfect. You have a real talent for making your living space not only beautiful, but homey. You've proved that many times over.

Beautiful job decorating,love the music at the end! 👍

Love the valance and the drapes the way you have them. Perfect as always. You know what works best. ❤ from Saskatchewan,Canada.

I like the valance and panels together - very nice pop of color! Your home is so lovely. Also, the snake plant looks happy and healthy! 🪴

Billy Haines 1900-1973 - Is he the actor you are thinking of who typified the Hollywood Regency style with Dorothy Draper? :) 😃 Love the red panels - elegant and time appropriate!!! Well done!

I like the valances a lot. I also like the drapes but would prefer it if they were longer - almost to the floor.

I vote for the panels. Gives a more uniform look

You need a tool belt! Not just a back pocket! Yes leave them up! I like the contrast, it brings out the darker color in the valance!

Beautiful job Scott, the music and photography did tear me up at the end... I suppose remembering my grandparents, the visits and wonderful memories came flooding back. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.

Love it Scott! I would use the four red panels during the winter time because they add such a rich warmth to the room, but then take them down for the summer to give the room a lighter more airy look. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with all of us! By the way, we spent most of the day today hanging wooden blinds in our dining room bay window! 😀

I thought I was going to be in Team Valance Only, but I’m surprised to find that I like the panels, too.! They add formality to the space. I like one of the suggestions I saw earlier in these comments: hang the panels in the fall/winter for a cozier, more formal look and have the valance only during spring/summer for a lighter, airier look.

I myself living in a 1927 built home, The more the better! For some crazy reason older homes can take in others opinions, an overload of decor! It always works! 😊

Hi Scott you need the panels as a contrast with the valance and the walls. I think if your brave with colour it can look amazing and will make your window area really pop .

If a border is what you want, then do it!!! Late Victorian bordered rooms are gorgeous! It’s not like you’re putting up sunflowers and ducks with blue bows. Yes it’s tough to remove, but no one needs to worry about that for a long, long time!

I'm all for whatever "Yo' Boy" wants. The valance could be for everyday, and the addition of the panels for your special occasions. If Uncle Henry spills his cranberry sauce on them, no one will be the wiser. I'm amazed that the panels are so vibrant. How fortunate that they have not faded over the years. They look just beautiful! I've been looking forward to the day you are able to add the border around the room. The motif of the border is simple, yet elegant. You must have found another set to complete the room. Happiness to you on the anniversary of your first year in your lovely home.

Such a bittersweet video for me to watch. My grandfather, father and husband were so involved with these projects. I have so much respect for you.

- YES on the panels and NO on the wallpaper border.

Love the curtains all together! Your home is beautiful!

My vote goes for the valance. Ties both rooms together.

The dining room looks finished,rich,without being heavy.

Although I wasn't sure I'd like the panels & valance together, I do think it looks good along with the other decor in the two rooms.

I thought I liked without until you hung up the panels and showed the rest of the space! Definitely use the panels! They look really great in the dining room!! Love it!

My vote is to leave the panels up. They add a richness to the room.

I say keep them up. They look so beautiful and elegant.

Love both the valance and the drapes! Keep them.

I think panels are lovely, and agree u could take them down in Summer for a light breezy look!😊

I really like the mixing of fabric and colors .. it gives luxury.. great video

The room is delightful,keep the curtain panels ,love the colour of them and the fabric 👏.👍😀

Leave them up!! So beautiful & fitting to the room!!❤

Yes! I vote for valances and panels. The look with just the valance seems more suited to the kitchen window over the sink. You’ve accomplished so much in one year. Just needs a sweet feline to complete the homey feel.

Oh, they didn't have them that would bend like that years ago when I last decorated. Thanks for showing me.

Scott, Do what makes you happy. Your home looks very cozy. 😍😍😍😍😍

I love the drapes with the valance. Looks a lot more historic. Thanks for the video Scott. The ending was so beautiful just being able to see everything come together. It was a great treat to see.

Can't believe hardly that is the same home you bought. You are bringing back it's glory days❤

I think the panels should stay up, it's a beautiful look.

My vote is a definite "Yes" to keep the panels up! They make the room look richer and more homey!

I’d leave the long panels, especially for winter. Maybe take them down in the spring. They look lovely

I agree with the person who suggested you leave the panels up in the winter and remove them for an airy feel in the summer. Your house is looking great!

I love them up Scott it makes the room feel nice and cozy. The colors are great.❤️🐈‍⬛

The rich color of the curtains looks beautiful with the furniture in your dining room….elegant! My vote is definitely keep the curtains!

I vote that you leave them up! However, it really should be whatever you want. I love what you've done with the house, it looks comfy & cozy, and all very inviting. I feel like my own grandmother is just in there, waiting around the corner in the kitchen.

Love the richness that it brings to the room with the panels. I vote leave them

I vote for the panels, they are so nice love the color and the fabric is something you don't see today! The way you have hung them they showcase your Windows without blocking the light.

Yes, keep the panels. Thanks for sharing!

❤i am a long time lurker and interior decorator (older than you) and just had to say bravo! ( and do what you want to live with😊

The red panels look beautiful. I vote leave them up. Cosy and jewel-toned. The combination of the red, with the copper/salmon, against the buttermilk of the walls - perfection.

My vote is....keep them up!

I vote for putting the panels up. Looks nice. 👍

Love the curtains with the valance! Looks very Rich. A big Yes

We vote for leaving the valance and panels in place. Balances the room nicely.

Scott, your curtains with the panels are Stunning! Your place looks like a magazine, absolutely beautiful. Well done, my friend!

Definitely needs the panels! A much richer look!

Such a lovely cozy home you have Scott!😘

Panels in winter, off in summer. Both look great😊. Will you ever do a kitchen tour?

❤❤ I like the curtains ❤❤ Everything ties together very nicely. 😊😊😊

I love the look either way. I just love seeing your home and all the fun thinks you do. You are such a talented decorator! Also, thanks for taking us on your trip to NY and back. I always enjoy those.

Leave them up! You are making such a fun home.

Dear Scott; I have been washing and Windexing my windows today for new blinds . There is something about doing this job that always goes sideways . Im working on a alcohol egg nog right now 😋 I bought a Dorothy Draper book at a yard sale in 1980 for 50 cents and learned more than any book ever written to decorate. The same book is rare and 100 dollars now. Believe it or not , you can remove the pleats in the drapes , press them and use the opposite hem to run a curtain rod thru . ❤

I like the panels. A nice look and not the same old thing. Good job 👍

Love it with the panels. Beautiful home Mr. Scott

I can’t believe you have a valance that covers 3 windows. I was going to say use the valance in summer & the drapes in winter UNTIL you put them both up! Oh yes! Both together is stunning. Your taste is wonderful!

I love both kinds of curtains up. Leave them up.

This is a tough one! I like it both ways....I lean toward the look without the panels because it's simple and neat but the richness of the panels really pop! Both ways are beautiful! Great job!

Yes! The panels look Fantastic!!

I like the panels ! Softens the windows ! But the less is more I That works too!

I've already given my opinion.. But I've watched this quite a few times since because the last minutes are so calming & relaxing in your beautiful home!❤

Just gorgeous. Elegant. Lovely. You're so talented.

Happy One Year anniversary ! You have come such a long way !

I agree with the panels up. The contrast of color and fabric is so rich and ties in well with the front parlor drapery. Well done!

I love this look! Rich,warm,inviting. Leave them up! So beautiful,Scott!

Ohhh, yes sir. Leave the panels up. I love the rich colors of this room 👍🏾

Sharon here.... I love the look! All the colors coordinate! Yes, yes! 👍❤🙂

Looks lovely!

Leave the panels up. You have such a beautiful home. 😊

I think the valances might be to full. A more simple valance might work. I love their color , they work well with everything in the room. It does look so authentic and very beautiful

My vote is to leave them up. It looks great.

Panels up please🤗whatever you choose I will love it. Lots of patterns colors and textures 🧡
