    Paige you never need to justify spending your money on your home. We all have our own priorities for our budget. The amount you would spend on a sofa will seem expensive to some and cheap to others. All that matters is that it's within your budget and you like it. Other people's budgets and taste is neither here nor there. You do you and enjoy it

    I had to stop this video in the middle because suddenly I had the feeling of putting all my art on the wall. For real. I was waiting to do it for months. For me, putting pictures or art on the wall is very scary for some reason. But it's necessary for the cosy feeling. And I have a lot of art (lot of them made by me). Thanks to Paige they are all up on the wall now, and it looks great. You are very inspirational!

    I was once told that when you purchase a really nice, pricey piece don’t cheap out dressing it up. It deserves the nice finish. It was hard to embrace that given my bargain-hunting nature but I do see the wisdom. Spend the extra when it makes sense to make things look fabulous.

    • @rmonson5002
      @rmonson5002 Рік тому +15

      Yeah, I would wait to see the piece in the space before I selected a fabric. Sometimes seeing it in the space draws you in a direction you didn't expect to go. And the original fabric will feel different at home than in the store. Buuuuuut don't listen to me, I agonize over EVERY design decision. It takes me a minute to pull the trigger. Especially with "big ticket" items.

    • @lonenugget4301

    The bent wood of the sitting chairs are amazing and an instant classic that will never go out of style, but also would fit with any setting really. They quietly draw attention without distracting from the more ornate pieces of the room. The streamlined art deco essence is going to be great for tying in your modern and traditional pieces.

    Yes! This was EXACTLY the kind of video I was hoping for! I love where the two pictures from Paris ended up and the bigger piece at the entrance. Also (my two cents only) I'd bring the couch home and start using it while you search for the right upholstery fabric so you have time to find something you love (and you have a couch in the meantime!) And the green/gold fabric you bought I think would be terrific for curtains or an upholstered headboard.

    Don’t settle or skimp on the fabric for the sofa, it needs to be upholstery quality. I know West Elm is not for you but they sell their upholstery fabric by the yard and it’s not that pricey. I know you liked the distressed velvet in the color called “dune” because you commented on it in another video. It’s what I have on my couches and I felt so validated when you said that the fabric was nice 😂
    I’m kinda regretting not getting them in “golden oak”, though.

    I do like the format and would enjoy seeing more like this. I agree about the placement of the art too. It is easier to decide what works when looking at a video. I figured that out when trying to get my house ready for an appraisal. I would work in an area then photograph it. That way I could tell if the space was too cluttered or if it needed more. I hope you will take us along on the journey of designing your new space.

      @marthahagen-black8820 Рік тому

      Couldn’t agree more. Original fabric so much better. You can have it cleaned. And watch out and chose something that is appropriate for upholstery- weight, fabric content is super important if you are shopping someplace that doesn’t list content and Wyzenbeek or Martindale test results. Shop at upholstery fabric stores/ showrooms, not clothing fabric.

So buying paint yesterday - any paint will look better that what it is, so I ended up with a neutral grey, and then a mint colour for the living room. I think I went with the mint because it is so fresh and I am starting there, anyway paint is paint and seriously anything is better than what is there (we have been calling it baby poo yellow)!

    I know nice fabric is expensive, but it will be worth it in the long run. As you said, you are investing in these pieces for the future! A cheaper, thinner fabric will wear down faster than an expensive, more heavy duty fabric that is made for upholstery. Plus it would make the pieces look cheap too if you use cheap fabric... And keep in mind that you need fabrics that has at least 20.000 martindale.

    Love the consistency with which you post. I don’t expect daily vlogs or whatever but I feel once a week is good pacing. This style of video is fine. I hope we also get to see you at the studio someday.
    Thanks for not being coy about how much things cost. It’s annoying when people boast but you come across as candid. Furniture IS expensive, even used raggedy chairs from FB Market can cost a fortune. In my years of living I’ve come to appreciate the value of a good furniture piece so I appreciate you sharing your process so I don’t feel bad about spending $600 on bedside tables, lol.

    I think the brown painting with the yellow bowls would look nice over the fireplace.

    I’ve been watching for awhile and like this style of video. I go through the same process when hanging art (should I measure or can I wing it. Lol) Honestly it just takes time to get the ‘feel’ of a home and move everything to where it fits right. We’ve moved a few times (military family) and I can’t wait until we finally buy a home and settle down because then I feel like I can invest in nicer things and really makes our home ours. Just don’t feel like it now because we have small children and furniture/pieces have gotten damaged throughout our moves. I’m excited to see your home progress!

    I ditched all my old furniture before I moved into my current apartment. Definitely understand the exhaustion/frustration.
    Maybe the fabric would make good curtains. It looks like it has a lovely drape ✨

    Relatable video. Not cookie cutter. I like it. Watching a real person in her interior dilemma.
