Walmart Bar Cart. Try saying that five times fast

[@margui6224]

Thank you Kristen for your advice on organize space on small places. I will do it on my place. Also love the products Walmart has to offer.

[@bitabonita3713]

Totally agree ❤

[@patriciaconnelly1797]

I absolutely love Kristen’s videos. As mentioned, she’s so professional, concise, intelligent, classy and truly knows how to decorate. I always look forward to her videos because they’re loaded with great ideas. Something else I especially love about her is that unlike some KZbinrs, it’s not about her and her beauty, although she’s very pretty, it’s about her quality content week after week. Thank you dear Kristen

[@Motherhubbard170]

She's Canadian that's why

[@mariamangion21]

There’s something about Kristen that makes her unique and one of a kind. She has this radiant sunshine aura that surrounds her, a positive attitude and a caring, honest & outgoing personality 🤍🌸 I love how pure and sweet she is 🩵

[@marilynweist2645]

I totally agree! She’s a gem! ❤

[@jaydobbyn3975]

Gaelic charm 😉

[@0hdeerling]

Agreed❤

[@grandma4557]

Absolutely

[@sandrabentley8111]

Large puppy eyes make a face very attractive and warm

[@analea6531]

Mounting furniture on the wall was a game changer. I saw it in one of your old videos and decided to mount my tv stand, my entryway console table and even my desk. It looks amazing now I have more space in the living room I even added a bench under the tv stand and another one under the entryway console table. I can also fully tuck my desk chair under the desk

[@dinner-at-the-diner]

can you direct me to the right video to watch for this?

[@karenbalkaranali4739]

I love watching your chanel kristen.After im done I feel as though I could change the whole outlook of my home.

[@erinmcbride-spivey6595]

Love these ideas! We bought our retirement home 2 years ago and it has been a challenge to find furniture and decorate only 1200 sq ft. I still don’t have anything on my walls-I think I’m scared of not doing it right and causing damage. 😂 Do you have an episode on correct mounting techniques for large heavy artwork and shelves? I have floor to ceiling windows in my dining and LR area so I finally hung my curtains high- and used a mix of cafe lace style curtains with a heavier light colored, patterned linen over top. It gives me different options. It made such a difference! I really love the look and functionality of that. Thanks for saying you can use heavier furniture pieces. I just bought a 6 foot Buffett for my small DR to use as a coffee bar- I Love it! I think a mirror and shelves for decor above it are needed. Just scared to put holes in my wall. 😆 I love watching your videos- so upbeat and personable. 💗

[@Rositasparks]

You always give the best advice! Thx!❤

[@fwb777]

Kristen, Thanks so much for sharing this video. This was so informative & timely. Sending you greetings from Barbados 🇧🇧!

[@Bakey_cakey]

I’d love for you to come and transform some spaces in the UK! Our houses are tiny (especially newer builds) in comparison to American ones, my living room is smaller than most of those featured in this video and my house isn’t considered small here 😅

[@clarew7808]

I know. I am from uk.

[@ksavvy007]

Me too😁 looks like we need Walmart in our lives!!

[@Trish-ql9kz]

Agreed.. the typical uk homes are like rabbit hutches 😢

[@mariawilliams1314]

Thanks for all of the inspiration for a small space. My son will be moving into a small apartment and this video came at the right time. 😊❤😊🌸

[@Trish-ql9kz]

The small spaces that are shown on here are definitely not small to the uk viewer 😮

[@rosanezany1894]

And not for my.. Lady, let me send you some pictures of my room.. that is small 😂😂😂

[@callief1180]

Love all of her videos

[@huskysc7415]

Excellent ideas. My space is a small - an older home with no natural light. Have painted light taupe w white doors and chair rails, and white kitchen cabinets. Will follow your ideas re tall space. Thanks.

[@MrOlvin11]

❤ U! Thank you for all of your wonderful tips, they really inspired me. 👌

[@sallyperzanowski6625]

Definitely I utilize large bulky chairs with small benches etc. With pictures And plants hanging. I love the feel of a larger space.

[@thereset1735]

Grate video! Beautiful homes. Do you have any video for how to make your apartment look and feel bigger - Renting friendly? 😊 Thank you.

[@gloriaprimeau7318]

I didn't know wall mart had such nice things thnx

[@kathydoyel1582]

Great video. So many great suggestions. one thing that I dislike is wall mounted televisions. Never a good look.

[@kimberlywalker8985]

Thank you Chris and always great ideas to make us think about and bring our attention to.. love the bar cart by the way❤

[@suemahoney7330]

As always, so many great ideas! And very easy and inexpensive to do. The idea of decorating up to draw your eyes up is so brilliant yet so basic. Something I had never heard before. You've got me thinking. Thank you!

[@DianaTaylor-r5k]

Great tips ❤

[@sherryidibo2304]

Great tips Kristen, your videos are always helpful.

[@officialCloud_Playz]

I love your channel :)

[@officialCloud_Playz]

@@KristenMcGowan Of course! I love to watch interior design videos, they are so inspiring!

[@NF-cb9vg]

Hi Kristen! Could you please link the foldable chairs? Kindly! I love your videos btw ❤

[@bonitawise8743]

This was a great video!

[@JUStCALLMEZIMM]

#1 is iffy, depending on your style can do a barn door and even do a modern style barn door. Barn door is just the style of door movement.

[@kathleenroby3057]

Always a pleasure to hear your decorating wisdom...love your decor style

[@Youtubeeeeeeuser]

Lovely! I also love your fashion :) where is your top from??

[@ninatang7015]

Love your suggestions! They are very manageable and affordable!

[@texasstardust6010]

...I prefer upholstery Velvet and Chenille, because ...they are soft , inviting and Chenille wears like iron, especially on high usage pieces of furniture. Mounting a TV is not possible with every layout, it depends on how much wall space one has available... For example I have one long wall that I could use for artwork and a mirror and things like that.... I'm not going to waste that by mounting my t v on it and then have that be distracting to all the artwork ..No. That is a pet peeve of mine when I see a mounted Television and it's surrounded by all this nice artwork , and the artwork is just lost because you're looking at this big black thing. Ugggh. Some rooms don't give much of an option for layout of furniture, etc. I realise these are suggestions, but ultimately...it comes down to having make choices that work for how one lives and how the room needs to function.

[@availanila]

There are picture TVs you can put amongst your artwork that blend in just fine.

[@texasstardust6010]

@availanila I do know that ...I was referring to when it's on and being used, as well ...I suppose I should have included that . I do know there are " picture Tvs " .. but if one doesn't have that... it's still the same issue. Thank you for your reply..

[@paulineniles370]

You have so many excellent small space ideas.I"m going to use all of them in my new addition to my house. thank you!

[@19671967ang]

[@carolyngrotaers4454]

This is a wonderful informative video, Kristen. Love when different furniture tucks into each other. 😀

[@dianaw451]

When every room is painted a different color, it has always reminded me of a basket full of different colored Easter eggs 😳

[@vickilindberg6336]

Excellent ideas. Great presentation. Nice voice

[@laurarose6829]

The fact that you don’t have a HGTV show is their loss. 😊

[@freedomofreligion3248]

EVERY SECOND of this video is what I've been craving. I can't define the look. It's Parisienne, it's Northern California, Yosemite. This all looks new + inspiring to me! I'd almost lost hope; thank you, Kristen McGowan! You are very special.

[@PureHomeSupply]

Great ideas

[@mariluornelas7914]

[@devondagregg625]

❤❤❤

[@justynamaslanka6350]

Hi Kristen, I really like your ideas of home make over. Thank you very much for your advice. I have rented a studio so it is one bedroom with bathroom and city kitchen. There is one big window. So it is everything in one room, as bedroom, living room, corridor, laundry room, kitchen, and woodrow in one 25m2 room. I am creative and have organised my studio by IKEA furniture and storages etc, but it looks small and mess. I would like to do a change there. My bathroom is small, there is a shower , but this place look very good than my room. I will be very grateful for your ideas, and I think there are plenty people like me. I think it will be a big challenge to make over a small apartment like that With plenty positive energy 🌹🍀🥰

[@DecoratewithAtefeh]

Hey, congrats on your place, I guess you will find the content on my channel useful as well 🙈

[@myinfo11]

How I can make my small space look brighter with dark floors (I'm not replacing). BTW I have a lots of good side windows TG🙏🏻

[@creatingdigitalassets]

What about mirrors?

[@annapawww12568]

I really like your videos, however I think we have a different definition of small spaces. Perhaps since I'm from Europe :) Here a lot of older homes have really low ceilings and small windows. Would be great if you made a video on that sometime too :)

[@YourFavBlondie47]

Kristen help me. My bedroom is super tiny bit it has a big window and I line it up and it looked so good until I realized that my window is not centered so should I line my be up with the window or center my bed????? Helppppp

[@ronilda2231]

I learned somethinh when I was buying a house. A room with no door closet it is not considered a room. I know is crazy ,but if you want to sell your house the you need the closets be closets. Otherwise the price will go down.

[@lauriep3651]

Can u do a child's room? Its so hard to avoid all the design cliches. I have a 3 yr old and I dont want a typical room. Same chairs, art etc. I want a well designed functional space that can grow with him.

[@Fannullone]

Funny that to illustrate her points about small spaces Kristen uses images of rather large apartments.

[@Anniecurls]

please put a timelapse

[@luv_in_nov2458]

❤Ana

[@HawaiiMami]

I bet u can’t count how many times she said “larger”🤭 great tips✨

[@Mary-ux7pp]

Where do you put all your stuff when you do that too much clutter everywhere that makes it look smaller

[@Mary-ux7pp]

Don't put a lot of clutter in it make it clean and empty looking and use a lot of white bright colors
