HAPPY SUNDAY EVERYONE! 🏡 I'm always looking for ways to elevate a space on a budget! I hope these decorating ideas can help you make your home look luxurious for less!
Happy Sunday ❤
Happy sunday!! Im in love with the pedestal idea!! Where could we find those on a budget?
I prefer the glass to the balls. Outside color.
@@skakirah1😊i
Kristen, love your videos! Would love to hear recommendation on good quality fireplace mantles to swap an older one for that would not kill your budget. In this video what is the mantle at 2:24 ? Also about faux ceiling beams to match the mantle. Thank you so much in advance!
Could you do a video on north facing rooms? Paint colours and how to make a dark room look bright. Love your videos ❤
That's a great suggestion I would definitely benefit from her reply
YES! Moving into a home with a north facing family room in a month. Trying to do the research on how to brighten the room as much as possible. Will be waiting for this one.
Yes PLEASE! I have a north facing living room and just repainted. I used Taupe of the Morning by SW and its phenomenal, I'm in love with it, but north is just so hard sometimes!
@@dimahanania8678 I used jitney by farrow and ball but feels too dark, it’s so difficult to get it right
Yes please my living room and kitchen are north facing
I love pedestal planters! I love how you can create a dramatic effect with plants and various heights. They can make a room look very elegant. I agree that there is no substitute for clean. I'm a retired cleaning woman with 27 years in the business; I met a very high standard and worked for a variety of multi-millionaires, sometimes for years. Most cared about their homes and worked to keep them in order, but on occasion I would get the rich slob, lol. No matter how expensive and beautifully furnished a home is, if the items within aren't treated with appreciation, that elegance goes right out the window.😂
Hello Kristen, could you please make a video on small, awkward foyers? 🙏
Start with your entry way! Declutter and decorate there first. It is the room that virtually everyone sees and the room that I always pass through everyday so it always gives me a jolt of happiness that it’s tidy and pretty! Everyday!
I love the baskets to hide all the clutters such remotes and knick knacks. Thank you❤.
The fireplace tip is incredible!!!!!!
I just love your journey so far and I’m proud of you for what you achieved over the years! So grateful to be be part of your journey. You’re still the down to earth girl when you started on UA-cam and so natural in all your vids 🥹❤️🦋
Thank you!!💗💗
I would have never thought to use the pedestal as decor. Definitely going to keep that in mind
I guess there are so many people that want to learn how they can improve their home to make it feel more pleasant instead of making it look expensive!
Kristen, you inspired me and now i redecorate my place , i love your design.
Love the pedestal idea
Oooh, I'd never thought of my indoor plants as decor (besides the planters they were in) but you raise really excellent points about making them feel cohesive in the space. It may be why right now I only like one of my plants 😅
Your front hall piece is gorgeous!❤
We have a nice house with art, wainscoting, fancy floor molding, hardwood floors, stain glass windows . We have watched all of your videos and have used most of your tips. Today we had a friend ask if our house is worth $1 million . This is the second time this month we were asked this question. A contractor asked me last month if this house is worth $2 million.
Our house is worth $540k.
Your channel works and it confuses people if we are rich.
Ive had a expensive jute rope decorative pedestal ever since i got a cat! 😺 🐾
I painted my living room and our built in shelves the same paint shade as the living room Sage green, the built in shelves were white. I'm so happy with the results
I appreciate how realistic your tips always are! I want those fire pit balls but wish there was a less costly option 😅 I also almost bought a lamp with the tapered shade but wasn’t sure about the lamp shade - now I feel like I need to go back and buy it!
💜 thank you for that! I have a pedestal that I stored away… for a while. Forgot about it … I have a spot for it too. It look blah in the corner and was trying to figure out what to do there. 🙏
I always love these design tips that you share! Makes me more excited for my new home! 🤩☺️💗💗💗🏡
Love the decorative box ideas
Tapered lamp shades are my favorite piece at the moment.
Your ideas are always on point, I totally enjoy every video you made, not every designer has the talent to convince their customer or audience but you❤
Wow, these are excellent tips! I will definitely incorporate these into my Condo to make it look luxurious. The tapered lampshade is a game-changer. Thank you for providing this great content!
I appreciate these videos Kristen 😊
Elevate seems to be your favourite word!
Love that pedestal idea, thx ❤
Yes, I am a pedestal lady inside and out!
I recommend doing away with the common sheetrock look (unless ornate in design), use more veneers, wallpapers, brass trims, elegant drapery, art work to taste just for starters.
Def the pedestals!
Kristen, I'm so glad I found your channel! You are so talented! I love your design tips and style. What a genuine platform. I have seen so many other videos that are over the top and unrealistic in the sense that who has that kind of money these days? My design dilemma is that I have to replace all my floors in a 3 story home (I have a finished attic) before I can get anything close to any of your beautiful ideas. I'd like to keep the cost down if I can. Could you do a video with tips on flooring? I've gone through many of your videos now. Can't wait to see more!
You make the best videos. You find great products and always motivate me to keep my house picked up.
I love these tips! They’re not the usual ones I see. The ceramic balls are such a great idea 😊
I think I will try for a pedestal moment next to my staircase in the entry. 😊
I have many pieces of furniture that I love and too years to save for. Now I need a designer that knows how to place these pieces into a comfortable living space. How do I find that person. Your designs are very good. I am trying to follow with what you show in design. Thanks.
Love all of these and so ‘doable’ - thanks for sharing! ❤
love the painting you hung in your entryway! so many great ideas. thanks!
Thank you Kristen!
Hello! i am from india, I love your videos very much 🎉🎉 I used this thinks, it was so good
I love your ideas!
I agree with the design hacks 💯. And already using many of them. 😀
Love the off-white on the wall behind you. Would you share the colour name?is it Chantilly lace?
Kristine, I have been asking you a five sit sectional sofa cover to choose and link it. I wanted beige sofa and I couldn’t find it then I bought another Color and don’t like it. To change a sofa or always cover with blanket very hard. Please help us. For sure helps many people.❤❤❤
This will help a lot with my home!!
Always so enjoyable to watch your videos.
Great video. Any advice or tip.on how to make couches not slip on hardwood floors when they're not placed against a wall? Tried putting rubber stops on the bottom part of legs without any success.
Great great great information 💯
Always spot on with all you’re ideas. Love them all. ❤
Love Love Love your taste and ideas !!!
Love your videos! I bought all you mentioned! 😊
Great Advice I can use all your tips 😊thank you !
I love it all you gave me so many ideas
Love your olive tree. Unfortunately Target in Australia does not carry it. Where else can we find a similar tree?
Bunnings has got really nice ones
Kristen, is there a chance on your explorations you might focus on small console and decor for an entry of very limited proportions? Also, I use a wheelchair for all mobility and need a console that isn't more than twelve inches deep. Here in the desert southwest, medium sized homes have smaller entrances, opening into an open-concept space. Not all of us have the knowledge or access that you have and would truly appreciate an episode on small entries, with a realistic budget. You have such great taste and design ideas. Thanks!
Thank-you so very much for this awesome video! Where did you get your lamp on your entryway table?
I love all the ideas you presented in this video.❤😊
Another great one, thank you! 👍🏼
Great tips!
Great video! Thank You 😊
Loved it Kristen!! You do such an amazing job!! You are my go to designer! Have a wonderful week!
So happy you made another video, always looking forward to those good tips!!!❤
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Love your videos
Loved this
Love your suggestions ❤, and I just bought the fire pit ceramic balls on your link!
Pedestal is great with a glass table on top
Very inspirational Kristen! Love your awesome ideas! 💕
What shade of white wall paint is best?
Fantastic video, Kristen! xo
Beautiful ideas!
elevate..elevate...elevate..☺
Love all your tips, minus the taper lamp shades 😅! Too much a 80’s throw back for me, and not in good way. Not all styles should make come back!
Another helpful video!! Great reminds, sometimes the small changes can make the most impact!!
Great ideals.
Hi Kristen thax for the tips! Where can I find the woven wicker boxes at 8:38?
New subscriber 😊 more like this please ! But maybe explaining different styles
Hi kristen, thanks for your videos, where can we get the pedestals from? Do you have any links to share?
I like the idea of using boxes to hide clutter.
Thankssss❤❤❤
Do you have any links for some pedestals that you can recommend. Thanks!
Hey Kristen...i miss Pantry Organization videos from you...kindly prepare one for us.
Very informative video!!
Hi Kristen , I enjoy your videos , I have a question can you help me my living room is black and white what color rug can I use thank you
Where did Kristen purchase her shirt?
I’ve been looking for a pedestal for months. I finally decided on one but it was sold out. I found it in several other “stores” but for a lot more money. Do you have suggestions as to where to buy them?
Could you link the mirror from modern nest please?I can’t find it!
My entry has no wall at all. Any advice? I have the dining room to the left, the office to the right and the livingroom straight ahead. I have no idea how to hide shoes 🤔
You can come and do my home any time you like lol 😆
Entryway video plz
I didn’t see a link for the window cleaner?
Where can I get those natural wood shelves in your kitchen?
I love what you are wearing. It is a top or dress? What brand is it? You always wear nice clothes. Maybe you should do a fashion video.
If the pedestal had storage in it then sure. I need functionality in everything I get. Maximize my life haha
Love all your tips! Well done! Say hello to mom and dad! I love your remodeling videos at their home! ❤️
Where is the video to find your design style you mentioned? I do not see it below as stated:)
You are extremely talented kristen ,sorry but i compared you with tol vlogger ,but guess what ...nobody could match your skills and no body impressed me so much as u did ,and i m designing my new home in totally your style...my home has ground floor which hardly has any light plz make a video for very less light area...from india your big fan
Where did you get the art work in your entry way?
Home goods? 😂 it looks generic
Loved your ideas so much! ❤
Thanks for sharing 😂
Do you do hour consultations on line😊
I use to have a olive tree indoors till the olives stained the floor .
You’ve obviously never seen our entryway 😂… not even room for a shelf let alone a table. 😊
Love those pedestals, plant decor and the shade lamps. Thank you, Kristen.
