[@adrabruzzese7610]

Kiva, you look so beautiful today and your bathroom is gorgeous!

[@KivaBrent]

Thank you so much

[@Alexandra-dh9kl]

@@KivaBrent I think you could also do a great job hosting a channel about stylish clothes/looks. You always look great! Greetings from Germany 🙂

[@sararichardson737]

Kiva does look beautiful today indeed. Go Kiva.

[@trishanoel2410]

I was out browsing today and saw a small trash can with a pedal. I bought it because Kiva said so! I never thought much about an open trash can in the bathroom until this video. I love learning these tips!

Weight loss looking great!!!!

[@KivaBrent]

Thanks, Estrella! I really appreciate that!

Kiva you look simply amazing! I love your content. Keep it up!😊

Thank you so much, Joan! I appreciate you being here!

I love seeing your bathroom! I also have painted dark brown walls, but with white accents (tiles, bathtub, toilet, sink etc), so it is basically dark chocolate brown & white throughout! Nobody I knew thought it was a good idea when I said I was painting my bathroom brown! However, 5 years later and people always compliment me on my bathroom! I have rolled white bath sheets, labelled amber brown refillable bottles for my shampoo, body wash etc, white pillar candles on my stained dark oak bath caddy, a huge abstract framed piece, hanging eucalyptus, an LED sconce over my mirror and of course a diffuser! The dark colors with the contrasting but uniform accents remind me of a hotel and I feel so at peace in there! I love the layered lighting tip, I will definitely think of how to incorporate more of that into my bathroom. Thank you! 😊

[@missm472]

what paint did you use?

[@RedPanda79]

I have no green thumb but adding small plastic plants really upgraded my bathroom

[@KivaBrent]

Good idea!!!

[@drinkwatereatmelons7048]

😭 I tried with 3 real plants..... The last one was a 🌵.....how do u let that die?

[@nogames8982]

I totally agree. Any plant that enters my house dies. So instead of killing off another one I got a couple fake ones and they look good.

[@nogames8982]

@@drinkwatereatmelons7048 I have killed a cactus. I have killed an aloe vera. I do not have a green thumb at all.

[@jbperez9289]

​@Drink water Eat melons same! Lol idk what is wrong with me? I always kill the plants that are supposed to be very easy "kill proof" lol

[@shylo-jean]

Great ideas and tips!👏❤ Love the motion sensor trash cans! Especially in the bathrooms, keeps germs at bay when you don't have to touch trash cans!🗑

[@KivaBrent]

So true!!!

[@Sunshine-fy4fz]

Yes, until your little kids learn that "it's magical" and continually open and close it

[@winnies2393]

I started using bath sheets a few years ago and will never go back. I love them so much that it makes me sad when I go places and have to use a regular sized towel.

[@KivaBrent]

Yesss! Totally agree!

[@izishillboldon6036]

KB, you are great. I absolutely love all of your thoughts and ideas.

[@KivaBrent]

Thank you so much!!!! I appreciate you tuning in weekly. I always see your comments so early 😊.

[@irenebatista9348]

Kiva , looking beautiful, love hearing your funny comments about everything. Walmart is a great place to find dupes of expensive store.

[@Karynlynne]

Okay so I’m trying to pay attention but Kiva you look amazing. You are inspiring me to get on my grind.

[@davidbarnes1113]

I’ve added magnetic LED lights to the sides of my medicine cabinet and it’s great because it saves me having to use the main bathroom lights, which saves on electricity. Next is to put some in the vanity cabinet. I also got a great inexpensive motion sensor trash can from Amazon.

[@carencranston5171]

Can’t wait to see the completed bathroom!

[@candiAtoms]

Kiva, you are so lovely, and you’ve got such class and style. I always get inspired by your videos. Thank you for sharing your ideas! 😊

[@DonnaScharff]

Great suggestions Kiva. I was surprised that you didn't mention a nice marble tray with the amber glass lotion and soap bottles. They bring a touch of glam to the countertop. IMHO

[@cooper5626]

You always come up with such cool ideas. Never ever ever would it have occurred to me put an led light behind the toilet, but it looks kinda cool.

[@debbyalder4089]

Very thoughtful tips! Thank you Kiva 🌹

[@louisefromNY]

Kiva…. You are The Best! I just love watching these videos. And you are so right about matching towels and covered garbage cans. Why hasn’t anyone else mentioned this? I mean really? My mother had ratty old towels and gross garbage. I’ve come a long way but definitely not long enough! Thank you. 😂❤😊

[@stephanieh5494]

You look lovely! Thanks for the ideas.

[@KivaBrent]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@lindamoon4255]

Best outfit I have ever seen you wear Kiva!

[@Sunshine-fy4fz]

Great tips! I rarely use the vanity lights in the bathroom - I have a nightlight that creates just the right amount of light needed to do what needs to be done at night - not too bright, not too dim. And my trash can fits inside the vanity - out of sight, out of mind (but there when you need it). I also keep fresh lavender in the bathroom, in the summer I have a fresh bouquet just behind the shower head (such a beautiful aroma from the steam!), and then dried lavender in a jar for the rest of the year.

[@amelabdelhamid5600]

I love lavender!

[@amberheywood2603]

Different color towels saved my sanity in a multiple children bathroom. They picked the color, and only they used their towels. No squabbles.

[@Cheray_]

Great list, I swear by bath sheets..my mom got us hip and it's now a non-negotiable! Can't wait for the reveal❤🙏🏾

[@LABeautifulDesigns]

First of all…you look great! Secondly, I have a similar small trash can with lid. Love your content.

[@jmitch8483]

You are so right about the contrasting rugs!! I live in a rental, bathroom is nice but I wanted to create a green, tropical feel so I bought two deep green bath rugs and they look awful!!! Floor tile is light brown ceramic and I was tired of the same boring taupe colored ones. Live and learn . . .

[@greenangeleyes614]

Love the tips! I gave a little chuckle to the scents part with the "💩" sprays lol😂

[@sleekmodernchic]

Kiva, you look great! That is all.

[@KivaBrent]

Oh thank you so much!!

[@murasaki9]

I wish I had a bathroom like yours! It's so nice. My poor 20 year old one is all the builder stuff. I didn't even get to pick anything out. When I bought the home it had already had a previous buyer that walked away and they picked all the paint, wood, fixtures, etc. My tiny bathroom has no features to add lightsxto. I just wish I could put 8n a new shower and sink to make it safer for me as I have mobility issues. I'm healing from a very bad fall in there 3 weeks ago. You have great ideas and I love that you look for really nice ways to add class to a room.

[@annetteharding6484]

Kiva, love the new hair color and accent glasses. You look great! 🔥

[@shannonthorne9460]

I was hesitant about the affordable aspect of what you were going to teach but you nailed it. These are super simple and affordable. Thank you!

Bath Sheets !! THEE Luxe Item you can get for yourself, fine soaps and bath sheets. Take Care of You, especially in your bath. btw, a Bath Sheet to you normals, is a bath towel to us Ogre-sized individuals. 6'3'' 325lbs, yeah, Ogre-Sized, not over-sized. LOL

[@dianeguy7452]

You look beautiful in that outfit! I’m renting and my primary bath is soooo outdated but I did pretty faux plants on the tub and some pretty bath related pictures and towels and wash cloths in complementary colors- navy and terracotta colors. It’s better. 🤷‍♀️

I've upgraded my entire house in the last couple years. Including painting the outside of it also. When I first started, I thought I would keep track just so I would know how much I spent. I stopped keeping track once I hit the kitchen. It would just be too darn depressing now. And the scariest thing is I could've easily spent three times what I did.

[@brendagregoryyuen4923]

Great ideas KB! My main bathroom renovation is heading into the home stretch (or so the overlord told me today)...supposed to be done by Friday (we'll see). Can't wait to decorate. I'll have a photo of the finished product that I could share. Is there an email where I can send it safely to you? I'd be happy for your thoughts. What I see of your bathroom is lovely. Ours is trending more on the light side because it's such a small bathroom (smallest in the house). I look forward to seeing your Reno finished product too.

[@pman2916]

So true about the poop spray. I thought I was the only one who noticed that😂🤣 btw Kiva, you're looking great!

[@KivaBrent]

Thank you!!

[@burghbrat3319]

I despair about the bath towels. After my husband and I were married (38 years ago!) our first argument was about bath towels. To this day we can't agree. He likes small, scratchy, threadbare towels that I'd call cleaning rags. I love the big, soft, cozy bath sheets. Alas, I fear we will never have a matching set of pretty towels in our bathroom!

[@rubygibson141]

Throw all of his ragged bath towel s in the garbage get him some new in his favorite color he will love you for that j ar 🏺 one ☝️ 😊😊😊 9:43 P😊😊

M9 odor eliminator is a game changer in the bathroom. Hospitals use it for a reason.

[@moniquegreen861]

I actually used a decorative plant pot for my trash can.

[@Lisa-jm3nk]

Til there is something called “poop spray” lol

[@khandibaugh23]

The lid garbage can is a great tip, hate seeing a display of garbage. As for spray scents smelling like poop-pourri, it depends on the brand, some are better at masking odor than others.

[@MMkail820]

I don’t understand, I thought you rent? Why do all this when you rent? Also, I will never understand these chargeable LED lights, they die so fast and it’s the biggest pain ever. At least all the ones I’ve purchased…. Are there any good ones?

[@MoonyeenClare]

Where did you get your blazer? ❤️

[@debrahill2272]

My bathroom is teeny tiny..Older Home built in 1974..I changed the shower head to a waterfall, added the organizer that fits from the tub to the ceiling, changed the shower curtain rod to a circular one..All my trash cans have the foot pedal to open..Febreez has a small space plug in that's awesome but my bathroom doesn't have an electrical outlet..I was considering hanging live eucalyptus on the shower nozzle...I literally have no countertop space...HELP..😃

[@leewhite8355]

Oh no I’ve just bought a pink bath mat !😂😂

[@pamelab1175]

I love bath sheets. And I don’t own any, right now. But if they have one’s at Walmart I will get some. I have to have a trash can with a lid in our bathrooms. I have a dog who will get into any trash can he can. We have a white one in our bathroom. And I stainless steel one in the guest bathroom. When my daughter and son in law visited. She turned the can backwards. So the dog couldn’t get into it. And he has. I just bought a new rug for the guest bathroom. But it’s too big. So I’m going to let guests use it as a big bath mat. I bought something to put on the corners so it won’t slide around. I haven’t done it yet. They just came today. I hope they work. I also bought a new shower curtain. It’s a neutral design. The old one was just tan with a white stripe. So it does look better. I have had plants in my bathroom. I just brought two out to the kitchen counter. They weren’t looking too good. I left my spider plant in there. I just put it back in there. And I have a candle in the corner. But just one. It’s on the side of the huge bathtub we don’t use. It’s too big and we have to have our water trucked in. Someday we may get a well. It’s only been three years we have been waiting. If building dies down some they will come and do ours. I’m just glad we can get water here.
