[@KristenMcGowan]

Happy Sunday everyone!!💗 I hope this video gives you some easy decorating tips you can use in your home to make it look custom and luxurious for less! Which idea do you need to implement into your home??

[@mariamangion21]

Watching it 🤍

[@cheriereynolds966]

Can you link some of the picture lights?!

[@blugordon3320]

Question is it best to hang curtains straight across or on each window...I have 3 windows in my bed ...but I do want that expensive look....blessings

[@marthestapleton5624]

I think the Picture Lights are a lovely idea and will elevate my wall art pieces! I never thought of that before so thanks Kristen!🥰 Also the DeeBit X1 Plus - I added it to my Mother’s Day wish list!

[@Ctwosrer]

@@cheriereynolds966 yes! Links please!

[@mariamangion21]

It’s such a blessing you are here on KZbin 🤩 Kristen has the power to motivate and inspire others. When I watch your videos, your positivity radiates and reflects onto me 💕 You are such a warm soul, one of a kind!🥺

[@modmomdiaries489]

We are about to redo our kitchen and I am about to tell my husband he HAS to build those cabinets all the way up. What a difference!

[@staymotivated7327]

I would never of thought to double one piece of furniture to look larger. Great tips.

[@isbythesea]

Screw-less wall plates are a game changer and the vacuum has become a must! Grouping pieces is something I already do and works wonderfully! Thrifting is awesome. Picked up two mahogany night tables yesterday for much less than the price of manufactured wood pieces sold today. Thanks for your advice.

[@shalimarshimmerzumba2504]

In the midst of renovating my kitchen and I do have the top space and didn’t even think about doing that. Like it’s already a wasted space I might as well make it look luxurious! Thanks!!

[@ei_maj]

I love your videos. You and the House of Valentina are my 2 favorite interior design channels to watch and gain knowledge and inspiration from. God bless you, Kristen.

[@preeganshu]

I love watching your videos snd have used many of your tips and tricks. You are positive without being preachy. And I love how passionate you sound when discussing what you like👋👋

[@wandaroach765]

Kristen I have the same cleaning system I think ours is Roomba and I agree… total Game Changer. I suffer wit major back problems and this is so nice.

[@Ctwosrer]

How much did yours cost?

[@tamb7587]

A new comer, love your videos! You cover so much info unlike Some others similar to you who spend too much time being silly or adding too much personal information. You are so very practical and right on the money with your information.

[@allinotte4263]

As a minimalist the coffee table books is way too much for me I like them on the shelf. But the added kitchen cupboards is the best idea before I paint my cupboards. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@justanother2433]

Same here. What I did with my kinda two tiered coffee table is putting two books on the second layer so i got that feeling but also the empty tabletop above.

[@suziealthens1258]

I love how simple changes make such a difference. I tend to overthink and over work a space. All these hints are so helpful. Thank you!

[@theweatherisaokay4964]

That upper cabinets tips is such a great idea!! Yes. so agreed with your about the small details, so many people neglect the smallest details that's most of the time really change the end result. Thank you for all the great tips.

[@MeditationParadiseLand]

I love your home decor Thumbs up Always 💖The person who is reading this comment, I wish you great success, health , love and happiness 💕

[@suzannefrain5103]

Thank for always giving such great inspiration. I took your suggestion and moved two matching small cabinets in my dining room together to make one large piece of furniture/buffet look. It sparked a refresh in the dining room. Thank you for helping me refresh the space. Love your videos.

[@anielawilliams2544]

This video was so helpful to me. I’m helping my niece and nephew decorate their new home and didn’t have ideas but this was so great. I love the picture light idea and the grouping of the coffee tables. Thanks so much!

[@LaurenMidgley]

I just love your videos Kristen! I watch every single one and they help me so much with designing all the spaces in my home. I also appreciate that you provide so many examples so we can really envision it!❤️

[@teeniadal3701]

I like the multiple curtain idea and the flat switches

[@ruthcameron2227]

[@deren2001]

I love the white and gold look.

[@Mbakwems]

Definitely the bookcase…I need that and the over head lightings in my space

[@shaunah.creations9233]

Giving me ideas Kristen! Especially the one with the kitchen cabinets. We have a space above the cabinets already there with the wood but adding crown molding might be pretty with it ☺️

[@2studiosinc62]

Great video! When thrifting for furniture check for bedbugs because they love hitching a ride to furniture!

[@RAZASHARP]

GREAT VIDEO AND LOVEEEEE YOUR HAIR COLOR!!! YOUR AWESOME! 🖤🖤❤️❤️

[@kelbrl18]

OMG! That's what my home needs! I love picture lights!!!

[@angelavonlintel2360]

Such wonderful ideas! Thank you! I was wondering if you can post about decorating an older historic home (10' ceilings, large wood baseboards and staircases, furnishings with old style fireplaces)?

[@lindagann1491]

Since retirement last year I am doing one room at a time and your videos are so inspiring. Keep up the wonderful video’s and thank you. I had procrastinated for so long and am now enjoying making my home almost new.

[@sherryidibo2304]

The book shelf hack was my favorite, thanks Kristen and let me just say that your hair looks beautiful.

[@liap1293]

I like the idea of picture lights & seamless switch / outlet covers.

[@samanthahunting6062]

Wow I have to say, having being retired from interior design… Your videos are very informative, like wow Oprah lightbulb moments! Excellent tips and video!

[@amydoran9987]

I’m new to this channel. I love your videos and your thoughts on decorating.

[@ladydi60046]

I just found your channel recently. You have many great ideas. Just some FYI about using the Eco floor cleaner. We recently put all new flooring in our home & we bought one, just to be on the safe side I called where we bought it from to make sure it was safe to use on the floors, they checked with the manufacture & they said no. They don't warrenty the floors if you use it. Bummer! We loved it.

[@lydiadevilliers5769]

This is excellent advice I will remember for sure!!!

[@Interiordecor-xr3ri]

You always have new product ideas. Thank you for sharing love and lite ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@sharondaburdette8076]

Happy Sunday from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@lilaedu5994]

Thank you for posting.. I was about to die of boredom 😅 I love home decor and perfect timing since we are upgrading our rental home.

[@cassiemarie9900]

Kristen as always learning design tips& hacks always makes me smile😆... Thanks for sharing because I always look forward to watching your content!

[@rosieroberts6738]

Which picture lighting do you recommend?? Hoping for Amazon. Thank you for your AMAZING idea’s!!! 😊😃😀😁

[@fionamclean5706]

Thank you Kirsten. Lots of good ideas. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@Nickelini]

You're so right about picture lights. When I was in my very early 20s, my much older sister-in-law did that in their home and it looked so amazing. She was super thrifty and handy, so I know it didn't cost her a lot. Funny story -- when I slept over, it would take her 15 minutes to go around and turn off all her little lights. Anyway, I did pick up her lighting lessons, but I've never done the picture lights. But now I'm moving into a new home and I'm going to do some picture lights for sure!

[@jos-1994]

Thanks Kristen as always for your expert advice on home decor. The curtain tip to hang as high as possible is one I implement in my home. Do you have any recommendations on window treatment in a bedroom that blocks light and maintain heat in the winter for windows that are approximately 30-35" short in Height? If I add long curtains, it gives off a funeral home look given the ceiling is low. I have curtains that I've balled up tucked on the sill to give it coverage within the window frame but it's such a home decor eye sore. A short curtain gives of a kitchen look. Help. Any tips?

[@ladyzakari2342]

Thank you as always

[@BrunoKalix]

Excellent ideas, thank you!!! You confirmed I need to change my curtain rods to elevate them.

[@cheeseontopofroast]

Love all of the ideas! What would you recommend to use as a mood board to help with planning?

[@judysmith8725]

I like the battery picture lights and the vaccum

[@JuliaShalomJordan]

You give the best tips! Love your channel.🌷

[@leonacameron6769]

I love the Decour pieces

[@akahanek2246]

Absolutely loved this video

[@ramonafranco6314]

Thank you so much for sharing, definitely I’m getting the vacuum!!

[@jazzyjaq1973]

Thanks much for this Kristen 💗💕🥰

[@traceyhuggins5478]

I love them all💖 Thank you for sharing 😊

[@darshancaglioti5033]

Great tips Kristen!! I think I might invest in a Deebot. It looks like it would work better than a Roomba. We had two Roomba’s, won’t be buying another! Thanks so much! 😊

[@myrasabbs5991]

You are so detailed. Thanks for sharing.

[@lesliesharnas7612]

I love your ideas and design!! can you suggest a good place to order designer looking drapes?

[@aliciajames8038]

I think this is the best video on KZbin!!! A few weeks ago I decided to look into picture lights ( funny my older brother has had them for years ) I love the idea of two furniture pieces 100 % agree about the curtain panels one of my pet peeves is seeing a window with one curtain or 2 and when they close it looks sickly lol I didn’t know about the screwless wall plates 🤯 My only diy IKEA hackis buying two white VITTSJO and painting them gold because Etagere’s are too expensive. Amen to the kitchen cabinets, coffee table books, cleanliness and now my Roomba seems kind of Flintstones compared to your vacuum

[@susanfindell6154]

Most of the decor pieces and furniture in my home is second hand, I love the hunt!

[@rosierose1167]

Great advice! Thank you for all the great ideas & places to seek less cost furniture pieces.

[@mayelinrojas7947]

[@dotythrift]

I have the exact same thrifted lamp-crazy😄

[@anjahorn]

I had kabinets which came to the celling before and i did not like them, i found they looked so heavy, so when i did my new, pretty wooden green kitchen now, i went for cabinets with a very big gab of about 35cm above and i really like how it looks now.

[@LalalalalaLauren75]

I love these ideas! I’m planning on upgrading my living room curtains so thanks for the tips! ❤️

[@sandyspeer2620]

[@tamiewert808]

Great video! Wondering if the Roomba style vacuum systems suck up phone charger cords or curtains which are floor length??

[@shannonskiptomylife]

Yes to putting smaller pieces together to create something large. Especially nice if each piece has storage! Thanks Kristen. Great as always

[@debbiemayes3233]

Thanks so much for your insight! I love it! When it comes to canvas wall art, is glitter in or out on canvas wall art?

[@ruhanvanhuyssteen6665]

Hey do you have any videos on wall colour choices or will you bringing one out in the near future?

[@carolyngrotaers4454]

Great video, Kristen. One if your best.😀

[@texasstardust6010]

What many people don't realize, is that the way homes were built many years ago MADE SENSE. The Kitchen Cabinets went to the ceiling. Wardrobes and dressers were built into rooms. Space was made use of by beautiful arched built in bookcases. Built in window seats that had storage. Built in China Cabinets, Hutches in the Dining room. It's crazy and ridiculous that good design principles went by the wayside.

[@sheena9090]

Could you do a video on colours schemes in chic space please?

[@lillianmartin4562]

Going to use your idea's

[@SusanSmithMSEd]

Hi Kristen. Your lipstick is beautiful! What brand and color is it?

[@jessp1535]

Very Helpful Video 🎥

[@te5056]

Can you tell me what the paint color is in the kitchen on the cabinets? It reminds me of Benjamin Moore Rockport Gray. Would love to know what that color is! Thank you
