13 WAYS TO MAKE YOUR HOME FEEL MORE EXPENSIVE - FOR THE MODERN MINIMALIST

[@gm3cline]

Wow the 13 tips really helped me visual some issues we have in our home! I had worked with an interior designer years ago and she asked us to paint some shelving black on either side of a birch door. She said not to paint the door but she did say to paint the moulding around the door black(which we never did do the moulding). We did do the shelves and they look great. After watching your tips it was so obvious that we need to get the moulding painted! Your tip on the same color paint around the room on the moulding and on the skirting boards. Thank-you so much this was awesome. Yes, more tips going forward would be great!

Sarah, can you post the video on how you painted your bedroom vase with paint and baking soda? I would love to try it to bring texture to my vase.

[@SarahWisted]

I will try to remember! It’s equal parts paint + baking soda. Super easy!

Yep. A new trend is the "minimalist lifestyle." Living by bare bones. A way to not only cut many expenses but also to save money which will grow wealth. But is this good for you? As I told my own subscribers, I contend that instead of having an existence of "minimalism," living in a shack and a sleeping bag, you should adopt the mindset instead. In other words, you don't have to deprive yourself and suffer to have the minimalist mindset which will give you money to invest. The minimalist mindset person will buy only what he needs. He won't go in the winter without a coat but will by the cheapest one that does the job--not the designer label. He won't buy a 50K car when he makes 80K a year. He'll buy the 15K Honda Civic used one and save money on a lesser car payment, insurance and gas. He doesn't go to TGI Friday's every week--he goes once a month and grills at home the other three weeks. He brings his coffee from home and doesn't spend 4 bucks twice a day at Starbucks down the street from his office. See the point? You don't have to live like a monk. The minimalist mindset just cuts down on the unnecessary. If you do this you will find that not only do financial problems disappear but you will grow a ton of assets on the side. Hope this helps someone out there---Charles

Charles, well stated! Hopefully, others will read your message and grow their wealth and future. By the way, my spouse and I apply that strategy; it's quite freeing and contributes to independent wealth! 😊👍

I am already on board with all of your tips! A well decorated, tidy home is my happy place. Lighting. Lighting is SO IMPORTANT to me. Ghastly bright or mismatched lighting can literally bring me to tears! 😉

[@SarahWisted]

Couldn’t agree more! I never really gave it much thought until our new home - my husband went on a rampage switching all the bulbs out and it truly makes a huge difference!

[@yenirojas1129]

Walls are satin (or eggshell) and trim is semi gloss 🖤

Great information thank you for sharing with us! In my personal opinion you have one of the best looking homes and style on KZbin I’m also a fan of iluvsarahii’s home and a few others - I also don’t like a lot of stuff/clutter everywhere - and I’ve always decorated my home in neutral tones with minimal accessories hoping to achieve that expensive look without breaking the bank - now I’m thinking about repainting my trim work to match my walls!! Appreciate the inspiration!

[@SarahWisted]

Thank you!! Yes haha there’s so much I want to do so I try to make it cost effective to get to all the other projects hah it’s a tough balance! ☺️

[@natalieh_]

I LOVE the suggestion of painting the walls and skirtings/architraves (as we call them in the UK!) the same colour. I have always done that stuff gloss white and I am so over it! I'm just about to start building a house and this video gave me so many ideas that I've taken note of. Thank you :)

[@anewheart4ever]

I just found your channel and love it! I’m slowly moving towards modern minimalist in every aspect of our home. Question? I have lots of custom shaker style trim around every window, door and closet. It all matches of course and is bright white. I’m getting ready to have our home painted now that most of the decorating is done. I love your idea of having the trim and walls the same color. So 1. Does this mean baseboards too? 2. Would I want to paint all my custom shaker molding around doors/closets the same on the wall? 3. We have 5” poly wood white shutters throughout the home. Would you also paint the shutters to match the wall or leave them white? Sunburst shutters are expensive and I want to make sure they would look okay blending into the walls and trim. 4. Finally, I love the black front door. I don’t have any windows around the door, but we do have the white shaker molding around the sides and top. Would you suggest painting that black too? It’s a smaller medium size foyer. Thank you SO much your great advice and for the work you put into helping all of us 😊
