    GREAT SHOW!!

  2. Paola Levenhagen on November 27, 2022 at 7:14 pm

    Hello, Kristen! What software are you using to show the layout in this video? Thank you.

  3. Allie Woulfe on November 27, 2022 at 7:14 pm

    Please be careful with scented candles and room sprays around pets. These can be very dangerous for your cats.

  4. Veronica L on November 27, 2022 at 7:16 pm

    I really enjoyed this video, was very relaxing to watch.

  5. Booklyn Smith on November 27, 2022 at 7:18 pm

    My cats 😢 destroyed everything

  6. Narjess Ayati on November 27, 2022 at 7:20 pm

  7. Annette Garcia on November 27, 2022 at 7:21 pm

  8. Leonel Ariciaga on November 27, 2022 at 7:23 pm

    Hello Kristen. Im getting ready to build a new home. 2 stories European style. I need some one to design all the interior of my home. I absolutely love whites, light grey, black, and tip of red. Have anyone that can help me out? Athens tx

  9. Godiswithus on November 27, 2022 at 7:27 pm

  10. Sára Kuzsner on November 27, 2022 at 7:28 pm

    How to keep white towls clean

  13. Shopping - Magasins - Decoration on November 27, 2022 at 7:32 pm

    Great decor here!

  14. caroline gathercole on November 27, 2022 at 7:32 pm

    Why has wallpaper gone out of fashion? I love it, makes the room cosier. All interior designers say paint your house white but that’s very clinical and boring.

  15. Tamiko Arnold on November 27, 2022 at 7:33 pm

    Good morning can you please help me decorate my house and how much do you charge

  16. Justa Lina on November 27, 2022 at 7:34 pm

    I do the pillow thing and buy the inserts two inches bigger than the covers. It’s one of the best pieces of advice ever given!

  17. Blue Otter on November 27, 2022 at 7:35 pm

    By the time the second advert came on at the beginning, I had lost interest and moved on.

  18. Ana Corona on November 27, 2022 at 7:36 pm

    Gracias!

  19. Marshmallowgod on November 27, 2022 at 7:37 pm

    Great tips!!! Wonderfully organized and I really enjoyed the visual layout as well 🙂 🎉

  20. Maricella Nunez on November 27, 2022 at 7:37 pm

    Hi l likes the containers for mouth wash and tooth pase and swabs

  21. Faiza Naqvi on November 27, 2022 at 7:40 pm

    I loved the way you described each and every detail in the simplest way. Loved your video

  22. Sweet Sū shānnà on November 27, 2022 at 7:42 pm

    Great info! I will definitely try some of these tips.

  23. B.V. on November 27, 2022 at 7:43 pm

    Excellent Mam👍👍💐💐

  24. Sitcom Christian on November 27, 2022 at 7:44 pm

    If anyone is less than enthusiastic about thrifting plates, etc, you can also get those from the Dollar Store 🙂

  25. crystal crystal on November 27, 2022 at 7:45 pm

    very 👍

  26. Avantia Damberg on November 27, 2022 at 7:46 pm

    Very very useful tips. Thanks Kristen!

  27. Sabreena Heussof on November 27, 2022 at 7:46 pm

    Thanks for the tip on pillows!

  28. Mosheem K on November 27, 2022 at 7:46 pm

    Great ideas!

  29. Tee Johnson on November 27, 2022 at 7:46 pm

    I loved this video thank you!

  30. Mystica on November 27, 2022 at 7:47 pm

    I have glam decor in my living room, can a wood coffee table look high end?? Help 😊 thank you for your tips 🥰❤️

  31. Janet Pattison on November 27, 2022 at 7:48 pm

    Great video! 1. Love white paint, since it goes w/ all my artwork. 2. Keep in mind if u care, that all the scented stuff, candles, etc… is REALLY bad for you immune system,since they are made w/ a variety of chemicals. Use all natural scented things only. (per scientist Hulda Clarke). 3. Artificial plants are poor feng shui, or poor energy, very tacky , and major dust collectors. (To learn about the importance of placement & energy flow learn about the ancient Chinese art of feng shui.).

  32. P M on November 27, 2022 at 7:49 pm

    Homes should never feel like hotels ……

  33. Lana 26 on November 27, 2022 at 7:50 pm

    I go for solid color matching towels but hesitant about white when there’s a husband who uses them to take to the gym. So just go for darker solid tones.

  34. Happy Bubble on November 27, 2022 at 7:54 pm

    Ive been renting for over 20 years and to me… white paint looks like poverty. The sum of these videos seems to be "have disposeable income to make your home look OK." Alright… thanks?

  35. Brittany C on November 27, 2022 at 7:55 pm

    I want this video but keeping in mind having children! I have a toddler who touches everything.

  36. Piggy_Jones36 on November 27, 2022 at 7:58 pm

    there all white

  37. Agnes Green on November 27, 2022 at 7:58 pm

    1st time viewer. Your suggestions were fabulous. I will view other videos. Thanks!!

  38. Lourdes Taboada on November 27, 2022 at 7:58 pm

    What I’m doing already-
    -All white towels
    -Scale furniture to area size
    -Rule of 3
    -White on white paint!
    – scent
    – Mouthwash is a carafe
    -Same color dishes
    -When I open my kitchen cabinets it’s organized and pleasing to the eye!
    -Pillow with larger insert
    ….guess I’m not doing that bad! 😊

  39. Simple Home Art Decor Ideas on November 27, 2022 at 7:59 pm

    That’s right, the choice of color and paint quality greatly affects the room.

  40. Karen Mina on November 27, 2022 at 8:00 pm

    Love it thanksss…..

  41. Tia Jones on November 27, 2022 at 8:00 pm

    Nothing “creamy” about Chantilly Lace. What are you taking about?

  43. Clinical Points on November 27, 2022 at 8:02 pm

    Hi friends

  44. Ruby Nugent on November 27, 2022 at 8:06 pm

    What do we do if we don’t have a cricket?

  45. BoardGameHype on November 27, 2022 at 8:06 pm

    lol scent… unless you have cats, then never put candles on. Just sayin

  46. Natasha nicole on November 27, 2022 at 8:10 pm

  50. Stacey Pennington on November 27, 2022 at 8:14 pm

    I have all white walls in semi gloss and trim will be high gloss white. I love it. White comforter, headboard and mantal are dark walnut but I have black, gold and neutral accents. About to do kitchen with white uppers and black lowers with gold hardware and butcher block countertops. I have been following Dawn from The Minimal Mom and have purged so much stuff. Less is more.
