Your son coming over into the video at the end was so sweet! Such a wonderful family!

[@liliacollazo7394]

Thank you for all the recommendations! Your son is so adorable!

[@carmenpentek-meyyappan6138]

Mind-blowing and binge-worthy - that's what your shows are, definitely! Love your work! You're amazing! Greetings from Munich, Germany 🇩🇪

[@annaantonov2780]

I’m so hooked on your shows. You are so charismatic and happy- you elevate my mood every time! Love your style tips. Your family is beautiful! Thank you so much for your hard work to keep us informed and motivated.

"God is in the details." One of my favorite sayings!

[@anniefrances9412]

Here we say “The devil is in the detail “ . Have never encountered your version before 🤷‍♀️

[@MDean-so6pj]

what I appreciate most is the photo illustrations of the points Valentina is making - very pithy, fast-moving but packed with ideas. thanks!

[@thatgirlnetty5308]

I absolutely love this session, you nailed it. Sometimes, people (meaning me) are those with the one pillow on the bed and don't know how to go further. You find yourself hooked on something but don't know how to pull it together. I've never shopped Ikea but this really helps for any purchase you make. I can't thank you enough for your examples, that's what makes you the person we love to turn to be it for home design or even how you pull together an outfit.

[@allisonvaughan1170]

I love love, love,love your sparkly personality.You are a modern day THATGIRL..You are unique ,talented, and have a lovely soul. Your husband and children are scrumptious. Glad I found your channel. p.s. your MAMA is adorable.🔨😎💓😘🙏🏾..take care..😘

Awwww your son is so proud of you. He's such a well mannered young man

[@terrimathis9197]

[@CCCreations48]

So enjoy your shows, they stir my passion for creativity in & outside my home 😊

[@leoprg5330]

I love the untreated wood IKEA furniture as a base for diying designer doopes

[@e.e.7114]

I found the bell and hit it. First time ever. Your son’s gentle persuading was the key:)

[@HouseofValentina]

I told him and he was thrilled! He said to say thank you!!

[@absj1204]

[@Msltfoster]

Great ideas, Valentina! I buy the larger insert, 22 in insert for a 20 in cover. It works wonderfully.

[@kurimuncher6142]

GREAT IDEA! Thanks for that.

[@estefaniad.251]

Love this video! you son is so cute and supportive! awesome! great tips and feels very approachable 🖤

[@20128096]

Love how subtly divert from the main topic to let us know that there are a lot more "similar" things we can do and get breathtaking results ❤️❤️❤️

[@junemaguire9988]

love this vlog, so many things to think about, thinking outside of the box, I like that. Thank you once again Valentina.

[@ednareid5315]

You give the greatest tips and I just love your son. He is absolutely adorable 🥰

Your family is so adorable and I wished I’d found your channel before we started our renovations last year, I’ve been falling in love with everything you’ve shown on your channel and binge watch just about everything twice Lol 😂 just to see you all together and having fun, although our now Forever Home wouldn’t quite suit the colours you have but they would of looked beautiful in our previous home before we downsized now that there’s only the two of us at home, Keep up the Great work you put into your content. Cheers from Queensland Australia 🇦🇺💖💖

[@marmee1013]

Valentina, l love watching you and your husband interact playfully with eachother. You both love the same things and appreciate eacothers choices. It is essential with the business you are in that you are on the same wave length. I have a house full of crystal pieces and overstuffed traditional sofas with Oriental rugs. Valentia l have learned so much from you. I am now adding more modern sculptures, and mixing metals and adding more modern art. I love the new mix. I have learned so much about paint choices , draperies and l am excited to do a canvas painting of my own. Valentina you and your husband are like a breath of fresh air for me. I am excited everyday to see your new ideas. Keep the great ideas coming. May God continue to bless your family with happiness, health, and continuing to appreciate one another. A Happy Fan

[@kats405]

I love your videos,they are like my mini solo vacations , really great content , I watch a lot of design shows but yours stand out . I love how it's so unpretentious. I love love love love Ikea but it overwhelmes me, I literally get do tired when I go there because it's like Idea overload. I just love it though . I know west elm and CB2 and such are beautiful but Ikea just has my heart . Maybe because it opens un my mind to imagination, and that there is an exhausting dangerous place , for my brain and for my husband's ears ( and pocket).

[@elizabethm2556]

Wow! Thank you for taking us along the joirney of decor! So helpful...binge worthy more than you know!

[@joleneosignac7123]

So nice to see you well spoken, handsome son! He was a great addition to an informative video.

[@robinsmith4499]

Motivated to see my home in a different way. Thank you. I can do this!

[@clairecar9390]

Hi I’ve double stuffed the couch pillows too! A little too firm at the outset but my husband’s big ol head has made them just right now 🤣☮️

[@amydunn4404]

Also, plants!!! IKEA has some great plants at amazing prices that add so much life to any space.

[@KymberliDy]

Such great tips! I love layering and customizing my pieces to suit my space as well. IKEA is definitely a cost efficient route to go. Thanks so much for sharing 💕

[@lucycastroval8390]

You're all so lovely! Thanks Valentina and family for such amazing content and allowing us to get a glimpse of your adorable family.

[@lindabeyi4662]

I love your spirit personality your beauty and your great ideas. I am from South Africa and so obsessed with your channel

[@despinablow6904]

Great design tips! Just a friendly suggestion: I would love for your KZbin videos to include a complete room makeover from start to finish of your bedroom, living room, and office. Currently we are only getting bits and pieces of rooms in random videos.

[@jackfussell3617]

We’re working on multiple projects but unfortunately they’re taking a while to complete. All of our contractors are overbooked and production delays on furniture are significant. Most furniture takes 6-9 months to get right now.

[@dyannesharp7343]

This is one of your best presentations ever.

[@Kathleen5429]

V - what about adding a glass piece to fit the top of your desk? You could spray paint the bottom of the glass in black so that you don’t see any chips or peels and I’ll never tell anyone what you did! Love you and your family.

[@Margaretcs0103]

I was thinking how about a glass piece that you put a beautiful peel and stick wallpaper on…..the underside of course!

[@annawimpey5307]

Glass on top of any piece makes it more high end and easier to keep clean. I have glass on my antique desk to protect the top. Use table glass. You can purchase them in furniture stores. Its not inexpensive, but its a tempered glass and won't shatter if it breaks. Comes in different sizes and shapes.

[@cathleenweaver6483]

Talking about duvets...use 2 inserts in your duvet. Makes it look really high and cozy ❤💚💜💙💛

[@decorDD]

A fabulous video Valentina….I am so enjoying your content right now !!! You are on a roll ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@angeliehayes29]

New here and loooooove your content!!! We are about to close on our first house and I can’t wait to decorate!!!

[@bessredzz]

OMG would you believe that I recently bought that first wall paper pic you showed!? The black crocodile one! Tip: Double stuff your duvet covers for a plush lux/hotel styled look for the bed!

Your son looks like his dada! Such a cute family 💞 also I loved this video binge watching your channel ❤️

[@karenbaumanis5750]

I love your tips, been watching for a while but just had to say thanks for all your videos, much appreciated.

[@goldiemarkowitz9300]

Love DIY , Design it Yourself!

[@treluvstrees999]

Just found your channel!! Love your joy, vibe, content, but the best part by far…. Your sweet son!! Love that you prioritized him before moving on!

[@Feequilts]

My tip for buying non-matching table and chairs is to measure the height of the table and the seat of the chair of a set so you get the right height between the two. We bought a table from one set which was a little high for the chairs from another. They were modern chairs so a cushion wasn’t really a design option. I recently bought some down cushions that weren’t very full so I bought an extra one and transferred the feathers to them. It was a little messy but it’s done.

[@Coco-rw2qx]

Fabulous tips!! And you are well on your way to 200k. 🌸 Thank you so, so much for all your hard work, I truly appreciate it!

[@justinecamille7426]

So funny that this was uploaded today, I've been refinishing my Ikea dining table to contrast with its matching chairs this weekend! Glad I'm doing something right😅

[@jekku4688]

Well now you've done it, Valentina and Jack. I'm heading to IKEA this weekend! Not sure I'll be buying any larger items, but maybe some candles, and...who knows what else I'll find?

[@cvonsutphen]

*Fantastic Inspiration* . HOV, I have been sanding down 1965 luan doors and refinishing them in a rustic style. Love the outcome, so me. I have a "flex" room which could use a little more sound proofing. You sparked an idea for the interior side of the door. Thank you for posting relatable content for the budget conscious.

[@lovesswyerNkate]

I’ve searched for your video on the best products in ikea just to thank you; I’ve followed your recommendation to buy Dytag curtains from ikea for a lux look and I feel amazing 🤩 My living room looks taller and chicer. And best yet, I spent exactly 30 minutes to choose the right color and style 😎 my husband is pleasantly surprised, that was the shortest trip to ikea we’ve ever had 🤪😂

[@lisawayne8112]

It would be great to see some of your client projects, either in progress or at completion.

[@lauriepayseur5897]

Thank you for all of these!

[@raeleohana8797]

Ohhhh myyy gahhh, this kid is killing me!! Whaat a cutie! 😍 Love your energy, Valentina; glad to have found you.

Ikea has wonderful sateen sheets that are surprisingly affordable

[@mordan4686]

You have such a good taste:-) can you please do a video about how to use black without make the room look too hard? Love from Israel ❤️

[@20128096]

There is already a nice video on her channel about how to decorate with Black, check it out!

I never thought to double the duvet, brilliant!

[@concha8855]

Great tips!!! Thank you Valentina

[@annetterivera764]

Your son is so adorable. I would like some recommendations on good feather or down alternatives for throw pillow inserts. Love your channel. Thank you.

[@Bisera95]

The ikea fjadrar are great and are only like 6 bucks!

[@rebelchicdana]

First time commenting ever on KZbin! Lol! I love your videos! I am still going thru all your videos so if you already have one similar to what I am about to suggest, please ignore me. My house is very traditional with darker tones. I would love to lighten things up but given that so much is dark already I am not sure how to tackle this without having to redo everything and buy all new stuff. Would love a video on suggestions or even a room reno showing how to brighten up a darker traditional room! Thanks again for the awesome videos!

[@laurinda9009]

Absolutely excellent video.. soo many brilliant ideas in one video

Thanks, V, great video! Hugs from Prague 🥰

[@melodysoares7203]

Listening to u .. I’m pretty much on point .. I do like the idea of painting doors .. do I have to painting the molding too .. I’m much braver than my husband abs love to take chances .. my last home the people who bought it also bought 90 percent of my furniture

[@TarinK]

As always..great information! Thank you so much for sharing.

[@fancycat]

I double stuff my duvet cover too. It gives it the Pottery Barn luxurious look🥰

[@laurahonkanen6765]

As a scandi (or finnish to be more precise), I think this is the most american thing I have ever heard! 😅

[@marnoch4632]

Thank you for the double pillow idea! I’ve been so disappointed since I developed a feather allergy. My feather pillows used to look so amazing, and the foam inserts replacements are just… meh! I’m double stuffing TODAY!! Brilliant.

[@greggdoty3076]

Another fun and informative video! I am decorating the 1960 modern/minimal condo I bought in Houston (we have one of the ginormous IKEA stores, thank goodness) and I'm trying to get a luxe look on an IKEA budget--hard to do but your vids are helping me out. I do have a random question about your filming location, if I may. What color is the ceiling? I'm leaning away from a light/bright/pale woods/white Scandi interior and leaning into a darker, more moodier vibe, similar to some of your spaces. My current inspiration is a room with black walls, very pale floors, and a white ceiling but I'm also loving your filming location with the dark floor and dark walls. I've seen spaces which I love which go all in on the dark and have dark floors, dark walls AND a dark ceiling. So I'm wondering if you went all in and included a dark ceiling in that room? (I'm guessing that possibly for filming purposes, and other reasons, you didn't?)

[@anandhicooray5512]

What a very sweet son. Landen is a great kid as with your other two children. Thanks for the video 👍

[@lindaweidner5124]

Is anybody else sad when the doors on a lovely Ikea piece become misaligned? I love Ikea design, but wish they would add a more permanent furniture line made out of wood instead of particle board.

[@jlaurelle]

He’s precious!

[@adrianarosado-jimenez4486]

I love your design and styling videos. I am a fan of dark bold colors as well. I have been dying to paint my entryway door darker, whether it’ peppercorn by SW, graphic charcoal by behr or Kendal by BM. What is your approach to open floor plans where you can see 2-5 other doors?? Do you have to paint all to them for the sake of cohesiveness?

[@bazirtogalab2552]

[@mirandaboyden5451]

I need help! I'm an American in the UK and found a gorgeous 18th century gilded Rococo mirror but we have started transitioning our decor style to industrial/transitional. Would that mirror go with that style?!! Can you do a video on decorating with mirrors with different decor styles?

You can repaint your black desk or anything already finished at Ikea. Most commercial finishes are lacquer not paint that is sprayed on. You can respray it with dead flat lacquer yourself.
