    Screw-less wall plates are a game changer and the vacuum has become a must! Grouping pieces is something I already do and works wonderfully!

    What many people don't realize, is that the way homes were built many years ago MADE SENSE. The Kitchen Cabinets went to the ceiling. Wardrobes and dressers were built into rooms. Space was made use of by beautiful arched built in bookcases. Built in window seats that had storage. Built in China Cabinets, Hutches in the Dining room.
    It's crazy and ridiculous that good design principles went by the wayside.

    Just some FYI about using the Eco floor cleaner. We recently put all new flooring in our home & we bought one, just to be on the safe side I called where we bought it from to make sure it was safe to use on the floors, they checked with the manufacture & they said no. They don't warrenty the floors if you use it. Bummer! We loved it.

    Thanks Kristen as always for your expert advice on home decor. The curtain tip to hang as high as possible is one I implement in my home. Do you have any recommendations on window treatment in a bedroom that blocks light and maintain heat in the winter for windows that are approximately 30-35" short in Height? If I add long curtains, it gives off a funeral home look given the ceiling is low. I have curtains that I've balled up tucked on the sill to give it coverage within the window frame but it's such a home decor eye sore. A short curtain gives of a kitchen look. Help. Any tips?

    I think this is the best video on UA-cam!!! A few weeks ago I decided to look into picture lights ( funny my older brother has had them for years ) I love the idea of two furniture pieces 100 % agree about the curtain panels one of my pet peeves is seeing a window with one curtain or 2 and when they close it looks sickly lol I didn’t know about the screwless wall plates 🤯 My only diy IKEA hackis buying two white VITTSJO and painting them gold because Etagere’s are too expensive. Amen to the kitchen cabinets, coffee table books, cleanliness and now my Roomba seems kind of Flintstones compared to your vacuum

    You're so right about picture lights. When I was in my very early 20s, my much older sister-in-law did that in their home and it looked so amazing. She was super thrifty and handy, so I know it didn't cost her a lot. Funny story -- when I slept over, it would take her 15 minutes to go around and turn off all her little lights. Anyway, I did pick up her lighting lessons, but I've never done the picture lights. But now I'm moving into a new home and I'm going to do some picture lights for sure!

    I had kabinets which came to the celling before and i did not like them, i found they looked so heavy,
    so when i did my new, pretty wooden green kitchen now, i went for cabinets with a very big gab of about 35cm above and i really like how it looks now.

    Hi I enjoy your videos however I’m not sure that I agree with your suggestion of a soffit wall covering above the kitchen cabinets. We have just renovated our kitchen and we removed the soffit above the kitchen cabinets. It gave a dated look. We decided against kitchen cabinets in the area above the existing kitchen cabinets because they would be so high and completely an inconvenience. Our kitchen is a normal size kitchen. When removing the soffit and carrying the brick style backsplash up above the ceiling it made our kitchen look and feel bigger. It looks updated and very stylish. My husband and I do not regret removing the soffit wall above our kitchen cabinets and leaving it open. The varied shades of tan brick backsplash carried to the ceiling makes our ceiling look higher and the room feels bigger. And the room is definitely not dated. I think the soffit wall above the cabinets is a dated look. And small cabinets above the existing kitchen cabinets is a big inconvenience. It would require a step ladder staying in the area or always having to go get the step ladder. Something to think about before going with that decision.

    I got a Shark Matrix Robot Vacuum to test for Shark Ninja. As much as I like that Robot Vacuum, It does have some flaws. It’s round design & short side brush, prevents it from cleaning corners & along baseboards thoroughly. It also misses some dirt on floors & can’t always pick dirt or lint from carpets. For as expensive as they are, they need Improvements. I’m just grateful that I didn’t have to buy it. I find I still have to use my corded Bissell upright vacuum to get the rest of the dirt missed.
