    One of the reasons why I like house & home house tour vlogs is they showcase the interior without the designer interrupting on the screen the interior designer explains the beauty of their designs seating & not going around the house. Thats why they have more views than the other house vlogs. Keep it up.

    I did not know Natalie, I'm glad I discovered a great designer that has the ability to mix high and low in such a unique way. I am a big Ikea fan too and love warm white furniture (as long as the covers can be washed). Well done! Your landlord is for sure very happy ;)

    Natalie is such a fun, fabulous personality! And I LOVE what she did here. I am a bit concerned that the living/dining area might be a bit crowded with too much going on there but that is an observation, not a criticism, let me be clear. You have to do what you have to do make a space work for you and if this works for her and her family--and looks great at the same time--then kudos! Oh yeah, I LOVE all the IKEA hacks and that wallpaper in the nursery! I'd hire Natalie in an instant if I could afford her and she lived in Houston! 😁

BTW, I’m looking at ordering silk curtains from a guy in India through ebay. It’ll still cost around $3,000…which makes me so nervous. Ethan Allen wants $8,000. My current torn silk curtains were purchased years ago, brand new, in SF for $90/panel from a local guy who is no longer around. I can’t find the silk ones anywhere for a reasonable price. Also, I had cotton ones custom made through a designer for another room, and they are far better than the Pottery Barn ones, for just a few hundred dollars more in the end, maybe total of $1,800-$2,000. They’ve beautiful and thick cotton ones. Love your videos. Keep them coming!
