Love it when you show us your makeup and beauty products! For you to combine your amazing interior decorating advice with the makeup that you love is a dream come true for me!
Thank you for letting me know! I'm never sure whether it will be interesting to others! xx
@@HouseofValentina It is to the IRS, I hope your tax scam is audited.
Take care of yourself girl! 🌸 You would not believe how much nicer my home feels because of you.
That makes me so happy! xoxo
Valentina, your joie de vivre is so amazing. Along with your adorable husband. Such an inspiration 🌻🌻🌻🌻
Thank you! xoxo
Bohemian spirit, tailored style! Thank you 😊 describes me as well. I couldn’t figure out why “I” was so colorful but my design style was simple, relaxing, peaceful. 👍
We really can be anything we want! xoxo
Your personality is what makes your channel! Such a warm and expressive vibe! Always fun to watch!
you project positivity and that’s why i’m drawn to you xx you are a lovely human
don’t forget to look after yourself because you are more important xxx
Thank you so much! xoxo
Totally agree ❤️
Agreed!
Valentina, your videos have helped me escape the craziness of this world over the last week, and I am truly grateful. I’ve been binge watching from the beginning. We close on our new home next week and every- thing needs redone! I’m talking floors to ceilings and everything in between. Laying new floors and painting before we even move in, since we have the luxury of time. Thank you for giving us some of your time and your expertise. I’m learning SO MUCH about style and design. ❤️ stay blessed!
Wow! Such a variety in this one! A little bit of everything! 👌🏻👌🏻loved all of it!! 💗
yes! LOL! There's so much going on! Never a dull moment!
V is one more reason why I love Friday’s 🥰
OMG....Jack! He is just too much. Love the interaction between the two of you. Thanks for sharing your outdoors!!!
Privacy, privacy, privacy! Miss it so much! We moved to a new build with no neighbours (yet) around us 8 years ago. Please keep us up to date in regards to what you decide on for a privacy screen and any other options that you may consider! Love your channel! ❤️
I will! It's such a big project so I'm hoping we can find something affordable!
An option for your garden is a retaining wall to create that ‘wall’ and then you could add a hedge for more height extending the edge of your new wall. Then I would add a stone or brick paving ‘floor’
I look forward to Friday’s with V!
I'm so glad! I love getting to take a slice out of the week and inviting everyone over!
Love or own outdoor space! Would love to see how you would style balconies for those that live in smaller spaces!!
We've got some content coming up very soon that I hope you will find super helpful!
@@HouseofValentina that is so cool!! Thanks so much! :)
You have a beautiful energy and creative sou. Thank you for sharing yourself with us all!
I just love everything you encompass Valentina!!! If I could be someone else for a day it would be you! 🤩
I love a dressing table tour. Would love a hair styling tutorial too. 💕
I love my Fridays with V .... the coffee, the Parisian music, and just sweet Valentina - the best 20 minutes of my week! xoxo
These biscott cookies are my favorite! 😂 my grandma always used to go to the small Italian cafe in our town every morning and she brought me one of these cookies that were served for free with the coffee. Beautiful memory, thanks for reminding me ❤️
Fastest, prettiest hedge EVAH - Bamboo. Caution: giant species of bamboo can reach 50' to 70' tall in only 3 years. When you first transplant it into your garden, it is very unpromising. The saying is: first year sleeps, second year creeps, third year leaps. Bamboo does NOT grow in isolation - it creates lots of friends for itself. Plant clumps behind a barrier (so that it doesn't take over the yard) and the clumps will quickly merge and form a hedge all on their own. It will provide a lovely lacy wall of green that will block out not only your neighbours deck but your neighbours entire house while remaining lacy enough to avoid being oppressive. Then, level the lawn area and lay out your beloved formal paths (line with scrap carpet obtained for free from numerous dumpsters - it is free, water permeable, indestructible, and the tufted side holds gravel firmly in place). Create whatever pattern you want in different colors of gravel (MUCH cheaper than trying the same thing with solid paving stones). Use cheap garden bender boards to separate the gravel colors and keep everything tidy. I can't wait to see what you decide to do! Keep up the good work, and say "hi" to Jack and the kids for me :-D
Super . Back yard! Not just through the window 👏.. Lovely 😊. Don't get rid of grass.. The birds🐦 need it for worms and insects🐛🐜🐌🦋🐞, also it helps keep the yard cool in summer. There is enough concrete civilization!
The whole of Germany is yellow from pollen in Spring due to the trees... Normal from start of March!
Hi Valentina! You are my fav u tuber! Your enthusiasm and energy brightens my day and I love how you and Jack are together, a real dream team🤗. Thank you for sharing your makeup and clothing with us, I appreciate it. Have a wonderful day. ❤️
I would absolutely do flagstone or blue stone. With beautiful stone steps at the door. If you make them nice and wide you can collect beautiful pots and fill them with flowers on the steps. Such a beautiful Dutch tradition!!
That sounds like heaven!
V, you have no idea how long I’ve been waiting for this! So excited! Thank you for sharing!
yay! We've got so much more coming for outdoors too! xo
I literally have my boxes of new outdoor furniture on my patio ready to be placed. Waiting for more great ideas and inspiration from HOV. I’m getting there! ❤️
💗 Love to you, Valentina and Jack! Love hanging out with you two!
beautiful yard and AWESOME inspiration.... I swear I love the relationship you and your husband have. He cracks me up....Thank you for sharing your links.
I love fridays with V! ☺️♥️
yay! Me too! I love hanging out with you guys! xoxo
Love the patio. This spring I will be working on both my Front and back Patios. Thanks for the inspiration XO
"V" you blow my 🤯, I never understood my style until you described it "boho in spirit, but tailored by style" that is ME DOWN TO A T......
Love Fridays with V!
yay! Thank you! I feel like everyone pops by for a visit!
Woman, I love your style. Ah, your videos are soooo refreshing, I always look forward to them. Keep on laughing. I love it! ⚘
Thank you so much! That means so much to us!
@@HouseofValentina You're welcome!
Loved this video!! Glad I’m not the only one who uses a bedtime fragrance.😊🥰
Your outdoor decor and garden will be beautifully decorated whatever you decide. Can wait to see! Tfs!
Ooo! Walled garden! It reminds me of Songs of Solomon! Romantic!
I feel ya! “Bohemian in spirit but my style is tailored!!!!” That’s so meeee!!! ALSO....THAT. HOTEL. COLLECTION!!!! WOWWW 😆😆😆🤤🤤🤤
Your hubby is so darn cute!! You two!! 🥰🥰
'Nomad' would go down well, with us who can no longer travel. We can imagine!! 'Global Style', again can help us imagine.
Deck looks good. Stone would look good under a wrought iron bench in secret place in the garden.
Love all of your ideas for the backyard and stone would be absolutely beautiful
Your positive attitude really made my day! ❤️👍👍👍
KEEP THE DECK... definitely... it´s lovely...
Loved it, just like your other videos. Ended in splendour of a beautiful bouquet! Fabulous!
I put up a hedge about 10 years ago. Florida is hot and at times dry, so I used Viburnum. Right now it is 10 feet tall and I have it pruned every other year. I dont know how it would do where you live. But it thrives here despite the occasional freeze
Hedges are even better at blocking noise than a wall. My parents had a wall, but it was just too expensive for my too large back yard and I do really love the Viburnum. Good luck. You will have a lot more choices in a cooler climate.
Thank you for the intro to Hotel Collection! We just moved into a new home and I was searching for scents that exuded comfort and luxury. I am a new subscriber - loving your content and style.
Now I love not only inside of your house but also outside. Being from Europe, I'm amazed how big and majestic is your house. Hotel Collection looks amazing too.
Greetings from uk xx
I love that ‘I just have a love affair with the world’
I love that fragrance too! I always get compliments on how good it smells every time I wear it. ❤
ahhh! It's heaven!! they need to do a candle in that scent!
That felt like a really nice visit with a dear friend, thanks 😊💗Those roses & the birds in the fountain 💕. Gardens are a challenge but you are on a path towards something incredibly beautiful
That's how I feel too! Love when you guys drop by!
Cutest couple ever! It would be so amazing if you'd sell your own merchandise. I would buy!!!!😀
Stone is always the better way to go for resale and maintenance. Our landscape designer says you will get $1 for $1 back on what you invest in stone. Also maybe look into bamboo as a screen divider. It grows fast and tall and will support your world traveler vibe.
While I agree with the stone, bamboo is incredibly invasive and should not be planted in any way it could possibly spread. Like maybe a roof.
Leave the decking floor. Put down a rug or two for the arranged seating. Spend your money on the furniture, plants and pots. That is where the eye will go. Lovely home overall. Thanks again.
You always brighten my day...thank you, Valentina. Your Moroccan-inspired garden sounds divine. That is my style, too, although I'm a bit more on the bohemian side, and with a little bit of Bali mixed in. I can't wait to see what you decide to do about your backyard space as far as the hedge and whether you stick with a deck or go for the stone.I would live outside 24/7 if I could...it is almost possible here in CA.
Have a great weekend! This weekend it’s cleaning the front walkway area! Washing, spray painting, a few flowers, etc. !!
We've been doing that too! I love this time of year when everything gets a good spruce!
Loved seeing your outdoor area and can’t wait to see what you do with it, Love your Roses 🌹, I have a rose garden and my favourite is my red rose called “Camp David” I’ll pick them and put them in my fridge and they’ll last for weeks, I’ve currently got roses 🌹 in my fridge from 4 weeks ago in a vase and they’re still looking beautiful, just an FYI if your wanting to keep your roses fresh for longer. I know you’ve travelled the world, have you guys ever been to Australia 🇦🇺, if not, You need to put it on your list of places to visit once the world opens up again. Cheers from Queensland Australia 🇦🇺🌸🌺🌸🌺
OMG Your inspo photos are exactly the vibe I'm going for in my garden. I spent hours on FGT's website looking at trees because I don't want a regular fence and a stone/wall fence costs is insane. I'm not sure if I'm going for a hedge or not. I'm leaning that way for privacy but I think I may go for fruit trees. Maybe have an orchard row.
So jealous of your goodies!! Been watching someone on Tiktok who gives out dupes for hotel fragrances, so can't wait to try a few. That candle!! Love! 🖤 As u were describing patio areas I couldn't help but think of home, Chas SC & u mentioned it. lol There are truly some beautiful areas downtown! As for your deck, lots of pros & cons. How long u're planning to stay there, wood decks don't always keep their beauty & of course, the $$$ u're willing to spend. College happens all too fast! lol
Loving the Friday videos♥️
I'm so glad! Thank you!!
Fighting pollen in April is a losing battle in VA too. I really don’t even try. Thankfully rain has helped it this year. On another note, I’d keep the deck. A stone patio sounds nice but like you said, you’d have more step down and since your house isn’t stone, that step down may be hard to marry between the two. And I know the roses are only temporary around your fountain, I think they actually look really good against it. Kind of like you’re in the middle of a larger garden somewhere. 😊 I can’t wait to see how it all turns out. I’m drawn more and more to global/European looks in gardens and interiors and hope to one day own so I can creat my own back garden even if I have to settle for a fence versus a wall.
You and your home are so beautiful I just love your style, so classy and tasteful. You inspire me so much, thank you! Your home is so light and airy I'm sure you dont need all that extra scent :)
I love Chloe Nomad it’s definitely one I will buy again. I have always liked walled gardens, especially those enclosed courtyard ones where the house is build around it totally, it’s very European and North African, I have almost the exact same iron garden chairs on your mood board I had them made in San Francisco, I seal them every couple of years and I’m sure they will last a lifetime and I won’t tire of them.
I love your videos your excitement for sharing products it wonderful. I love your Restoration Hardware visits they are the best. You are a beautiful couple!!
Loved this V !! Jack is a doll too !!! Gorgeous home. Love your style. Yes, install a stone area in back to relax in pure luxe style. Herringbone pattern is stunning in outdoor stone or quality material. It’s matches you & Jacks vibe...... Can’t wait to see what is next 💗💗
Personally I love stone, for the back patio but that’s just me! ❤️ and I so love watching your videos, you and your husband are so inspirational.❤️
I spent the money on the stone patio instead of extending my already large deck. Less maintenance on the stone than my deck. And I really like the moss that is growing in the cracks. More cost up front, but more savings longer term.
I live in Johns Creek. 5+ yrs ago we were choosing between a new deck or stone patio, low to the ground like yours. A stone patio was triple the cost of a wood deck. We chose a cedar deck, but I wish we had gone with stone. Wood decks require maintenance every couple of years with cleaning and re-sealing (more $ spent) and it’s a hassle. And every Spring carpenter bees focus on drilling into our cedar deck and our pressure treated lumber fence.
oh man! That is so annoying about the carpenter bees! :-(
I love your picks for your back yard!
RE your question on whether to do stone tile, or keep the deck, I would consider resale value, neighborhood, and how long you plan to stay in your home before deciding, but I'm sure you already know this. 😊
I am facing a similar dilemma, and have been looking for a home in my area with a screened in porch/4 season room, but can't seem to get an offer in before it's already under contract. So I'm weighing the options of installing one in one of my existing homes. In one area, my home is in the country, and the homes are all different, with values all over the place, The house is 80 years old, and a style in which a 4 season room would look appropriate.
My other option is my home that's in a wooded subdivision halfway up a mountain, where the home values are mid-range where my 38 year old home is, but more custom and pricey higher up the mountain, where the great views are. I don't want to over-improve, here, because I'm not certain anyone would be willing to pay more for an upgraded home that is surrounded by mid-range homes, and we're only going to be there another 5 years or so.... but we're there more than the country home, and would love to be able to watch the animals and enjoy the views year-round. So I've concluded that if I can't get what I want within my budget and get my money back/profit when I sell, I'll probably forgo adding a 4 season room to the subdivision home and just screen in part of the deck, then build a spectacular 4 season room in the country home, where I can get a return on my investment. And yes, I'm doing this all for the cat. 😻😻👍
Nice, I like Fridays with V!
yay! Thank you for stopping in for a visit!
Love your projects and ideas. So inspiring. Also love that you have a night time perfume. So fancy😀👍
My husband tore our deck down and we put stone down to create a seating garden. We do not miss the deck at all!
The pink flower at the end looks like an anemone! Lovely flowers :) Very excited to see what you do with your backyard!
Not sure if it'll help with the decision with your deck, but wood needs yearly maintenance to keep it strong and looking good, and even then it won't last forever, so I feel like the cost of stone can be a little more justified with the lower cost of maintenance, and ultimate longevity.
Stone would be beautiful in the garden. However, you have a nice deck I would just keep that and get new outdoor furniture.
Love all the beautiful roses, gorgeous. Can’t wait to see what you end up with furniture. The hedge sounds great. Lots of people use tall cedar bushes for privacy. I love Chanel Lipstick and hate gloss too, but their matt lipstick does stay on and the nail polish great, as it YSL Lipsticks.
Maybe plant a tree shrub hedge? Living wall vibes. I’m sure your back neighbor would probably like it too! Personally I loathe decks but i think it really depends on the grading up to your house. Pea gravel and stamped stained concrete are great options too! Love the roses! ❤️
Love the vibe you and your husband have.
Try the top coat Seche Vite! It gives your nails a high gloss finish and dries in literally minutes! I swear by it.
I didn't think that you feel so good. Self care is so important!
This is so CRAZY! I have been OBSESSED with whether or not to get the HOTEL oil diffuser. It's expensive, but I hear so many good things about it. IF you remember, I mentioned recently that I struggle with this OLD house that I bought. I am especially attuned to what my environment smells like. I would LOVE some scent that would lift UP this home so I could have a better feeling of peace and happiness here. I ended up getting a small (portable) diffuser, but it barely throws ANY scent into the room. Also, unfortunately, the scent that I bought just doesn't do it for me. I may have to bite the bullet on this and go with the HOTEL brand. Thanks for the post!
We truly love it. It's not a "marketing ploy" or anything like that. We have it going right now and it's SO GOOD! You can control how much fragrance goes into the air so it is incredible.
Ooh, like unwrapping early Christmas presents!
lovely yard
You are such a lovely couple!!!
Love the video!.
There is a deck system the uses granite pavers. Two of my friends have used it and it looks amazing. Much more like a stone courtyard look.
Obsessed with this channel
Valentina today I was going through your old videos and I thought to myself ...I have never seen your dinning room..
Love your home
ah yay! My dining room is actually my office!
Oh okay , nice.
I love the Hotel collection! I visited the link that you provided. If I place an order, I will be sure to include your discount code so that you are given credit.
Can't wait to see how you style the deck. You could leave the deck in place and add flag stone patio in the yard🤔
you do the best hauls!
keep the deck it is nice to step out easily from the house (without having to step down). Get some sisal or indoor outdoor carpet. Looks very pretty what you are doing.
Beautiful yard. Consider Italian Cypress for a "wall" feature? I say keep the deck, paint it black throw area rug down and add stone in garden area...Thanks for the inspiration!!!🌻🌵🌺
The flowers are anemone. They are some of my favs. Love all the things😊
I love your deck.
Since we cant smell the candles, how do we know which ones to choose? Do the offer samples?
Nice Vlog
Love the deck. Keep it and do stone in the yard. Best of both!
Here in India, Brick walls are so cheap, I was like, What is this lady speaking about!! 😲😲 I always felt that I am STUCK with a brick wall in my back yard and now if that's in Valentina's wishlist, sure I can find a reason to like it.😅
I LOVE your highlights!!! And Miss Dior and Mademoiselle are my two staple fragrances as well. Will have to try the Nomad. So excited for a new recommendation!
Can you plant spruce trees? They are fast growing and grow all over Europe, so you will get that worldly look as well as privacy.
Love your channel. Your videos always make me smile. I’m sure I have just missed it in a previous video but what software do you use for your mood boards? Thanks so much!
Yes a beautiful hedge of arbs would do the trick. Sadly you’ll have to remove the trees so they get enough light. Good luck
Keep the deck💗💗💗💗
While I love your deck, the stone patio would just be so wonderful!
wouldn't it be such a dream!?
Perhaps to try using Rain X on the outdoor glass table to help control the pollen and spotting on it.
