My dear friend is Greek Cypriot. I have a photo she gave me of her homeland. I was surprised to see that not all Greek architecture is the vivid white with blue. Where she comes from is more rural and rustic with natural stone buildings, more earthy brown and olive colours. I'd love to travel there one day. I do love the vivid white and blue, tho it's too vivid for me. Very enjoyable video. You put so much thought into your presentations 🫒
Thank you so much Sylvain💙 I appreciate your comment 🤗 Yes there certainly are different sides to Greece & Cyprus, I will have to travel there to find out more 😝
And, while we're thinking about decors associated with stucco buildings, a possible topic for a future video might be warm, cozy, and colorful Mexican decor - which, like Mexican food, is world-class! Of course, Mexico is a large country with probably several regional variations - so there might have to be some narrowing of focus. 😃
@@dantierandbalogh Hola! I live in Arizona. The influence of traditional Mexican decor is huge here - particularly among those Mexicans and Mexican-Americans living here. Think Spanish meets Indigenous; Old World meets New World (well, the 1500's isn't exactly "new"); thick, heavy rustic furniture; colorful, ornate tiles; arches; rounded corners; and BOLD colors I would never dream were compatible living side-by-side in a harmony. Fascinating how it all works so well together.
I love your videos! I really like the blue and white color scheme for my house although not necessarily the Mediterranean style. You have shown that I can easily transform my blue and white house to this Mediterranean style. Thank you for sharing.❤
As a Greek you were spot on. Sporadic islands have exactly this decorative style. Cycladic islands have another style, Ionian islands a different one, etc. It’s very interesting to see how people from different parts of the world incorporated mediterranean style in their homes.
ευχαριστώ💙💙 I really appreciate this! 🇬🇷 I will have to take more holidays to Greece, in order to analyse the architecture & interiors 🤔😝😝✈️ I don't know much about the Ionian islands or in fact mainland Greece x
I am from Greece and I loved your video! This is how traditional Greek houses are designed. As far as the bed you mentioned, most old beds in traditional houses were made of iron. So the bed on Mama mia is pretty accurate!
Hi Jacqueline! (I really hope I spelled that correctly.🙃) I just wanted to say I loved and appreciated this video so much because I am Greek-American and Greek villa style is overlooked so often, which is crazy to me because it’s so beautiful! 💙🥒🇬🇷 Anyway, thank you again. Also, I am working on my bedroom right now and I’m struggling with the differences between light academia, romantic academia, shabby chic, coquette, Regency, and Victorian. I don’t know if anybody else would want a whole video on the differences between those, but I sure would! Also, I may be wrong, but I don’t think I’ve seen a video from you on traditional glam, which I would also love to get your take on. Thanks for all your great videos! 💕💕💕
Hi Darling! 💕 Thank you so much for your kind words🙏 I really do try and make the videos as authentic as possible 🇬🇷 I love your idea & will certainly add it to the board! I completely understand as they're so similar in terms of style & in my opinion there's only minor difference between them. Just so I'm clear, when you say 'traditional glam' what are you referring to? I am yet to do a glam style guide, so I am intrigued! I would love to help ❤️ Just let me know! 🤗🤗
The video is wonderful! Once again what a fabulous job of finding material I loved all the photos. Very informative -my favorite color is cobalt blue so a fan from the first pic!
I like your work. You are very competent, I love your voice cause it sooths me, I love the way your images are underlined by silence and slow motion, that makes me enjoy the content even better. I subscribed rightaway. Greetings from Italy.
I love this episode ! I recently found 2 oil paintings at the thrift shop showing the Mediterranean seaside. I have a list of decorating ideas for each month, and I have a box of items for each month. -- For September I have Back to School with books and children. Here in the US we see a lot of owls for this theme. I think brass goes well with this. We think of an apple for the teacher, so I put out my apple decor, although apples are more for October. Also for September I think of Italy and grapes. I think of the State Fair, with canning jars and blue ribbons, carnival rides, etc. -- For October, I think of Germany and Eastern Europe. Also I happen to have a lot of Chinese orange and blue pieces. I like tarnished silver with orange Chrysanthemums. -- For November, we think of hunting season and Native American and Thanksgiving. Thanks for sharing. I love your channel !
The US thrift shops seem to be much bigger than ours😥 Ours aren't so great here I have to admit 😅 You have really put alot of thought into the different decor ideas for different months of the year. I love that🥰 Particularly the grape harvest🍇 I will certainly be decorating for Autumn in our house (even though we don't have Thanksgiving here🤣). But Autumn is my favourite month 🍁🍂🫖☕🎃 Sending love your way 🐦
I found this so interesting! and well researched, whisking me away to a Grecian island! Love everything you do and can't wait to see what inspiration strikes you next 🌺xx
Since blue is also a popular door color in northern Africa and parts of the Middle East, whatever the origins (I've heard that it warded off harm from entering the home, but I'm not Greek) I'd hazard that it's psychological. A door invites you in, and in a hot climate a blue door promises cool shade inside. It's difficult to imagine anyone wanting a blue door in Alaska, but there a red door might feel inviting.
@@dantierandbalogh I'm actually in Washington State, but I have friends in Alaska. I just gave them as an example as one of the coldest populated places on Earth. And thank you for your lovely feedback!
New follower here! LOVE your videos and your personal style! Great make-up and hair choices! :) My decor style is very adaptable as I have moved so many times. I just love the process of pulling things together intuitively, it usually comes together beautifully with a mix of romantic, bohemian, mystical/magical, and influences from travels around the world. I've not had my own place though (thanks to living in some of the most expensive cities in the world), so I look forward to the day when I have a whole cottage and garden as a fresh palette.
Hi Brittany! Sorry I'm only just seeing this comment now! 😖 I love your sense of style! 😍It sounds like you collect pieces from all around the world? I try to collect pieces of art wherever we go too (two minds haha😆). Thank you for your lovely compliments too🥹🥹 See you on the next video 👋💗
Love these videos so much!! As were coming into the colder months, would you do northern european, but not scandi? The place ive stayed in iceland didnt feel scandi, they felt like they had their own traditional and viking style, though that may have just been for tourist purposes 😂
How about Itallian Provincial...Tuscany? "Under the Tuscan Sky" for some potential inspiration. Good job, as always. Let's remember to keep Maui in our prayers also. They were devistated from multiply fires and no way to escape.
You're exactly right I have been thinking about them🌺 Now Tenerife is on fire & Portugal was a few weeks back & Spain too. It's been manic here in Europe with fires😥 Thinking about everyone of course, just wanted to mention the Greek because of this particular video x
@@dantierandbalogh Most channels don't bother to mention any crisis anywhere in the world. You are one of the few who cared enough to say something. You have my sincere respect dear young lady. I tagged on because I thought you would be okay with my mentioning of Maui. BTW, some channels act like all is well with the world...all the time. We can enjoy decor and favorite areas of interest...without pretending...nothing else matters. May your channel continue to grow.
Sorry I've only just seen your comment! Thank you Dear❤ You're right many channels act like nothing is wrong at all! I try to keep things delicate but also address problems in the world- its a balance of both I guess. I don't want things too negative for our audience of course🤗 By the way I love your channel name ☺
My mom really liked the Modern Farmhouse video. She also really likes Industrial design and, to my surprise, Steampunk. I would love to be able to send her links to those videos. Please. Could you also do Light Academia?
❤ Great video, very thorough and thoughtful. Will be looking into and looking forward to all your videos as I've just subscribed. I'd like to add that the other side to Greek interiors was featured in the film Corelli's Mandolin ( I might be off a bit on the title). And I don't recall whether you mentioned why the homes are stark white on this part of Greece - it is of course to reflect the sunlight off the buildings to help keep them cooler in the summer. Again, loved the video and especially appreciated how you suggested the style might be incorporated in the average home.👍
Thank you so much Dear💙 Sorry I'm only just seeing your comment now! 🤦♀️ And yes, Captain Corelli's Mandolin! It's my Mum's favourite film & she's made me watch it 100 times 🤣🤣 Sending love 💙
That sounds like a fantastic idea! Greek styles of Architecture🇬🇷 I will have to seriously look into this📖 So strange but I was looking at Holidays to Symi yesterday 🤣🤣
@@dantierandbalogh thank you! symi is beautiful but go to rhodes and take a day trip to symi because there’s not much to do in symi - pefkos is a really nice place to stay in in rhodes, it’s a holiday village full of hotels and restaurants, lindos is also gorgeous and more traditional
@@vherden oh my goodness that is SO helpful, thank you❤️❤️ I didn't know Symi was so small🤣 What do you think about Parga / Preveza? I have heard good things, but of course I trust you more 😁🇬🇷
@@dantierandbalogh ah sorry, i’ve never heard of it before i’ve only ever been to a few greek islands, i searched it up and it looks really pretty though :)

It is truly tranquil💙🇬🇷

You must be correct! Surely that's why? I believe there's lots of blue places in Morocco too🪬 Are you based in Alaska? That's so cool 🤗🤗

Of course! I have a Scottish one coming up, is that ok? 😅
