Love the little dog peeking up over the dining table!

[@ALICIAMARTINEZ-wk1oz]

Super cute!

[@Angie-ci1lp]

My daughter insisted I shop my home when I wanted to make changes in my home AWESOME! It made a big difference because I was stuck dining room furniture only for dining rooms 🤦🏽‍♀️ Now I’m always switching items around it very refreshing!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@mikam8801]

Hey Command 3M, this sponsorship worked. I didn’t know about those heavy duty mirror hangers, and now I will purchase them.

[@sunniethomas5691]

Right?! I didn't either 😊

[@clarestokolosa]

I like the home you grew up in with so many wonderful things.

[@KivaBrent]

Thank you so much!

[@jennifergraham3752]

Your grandma definitely has an artistic soul. So many special things. No wonder you are a creative person. I love her rugs!

[@havidagostino2117]

We seriously need a HOME TOUR!

[@glendashine9468]

I didn’t know Command had anything to hold that much weight! Thank you for that extremely useful tip!

[@Donna-vh5ym]

Every time I watch you, Kiva, I learn so much. I'm 60 years old and never thought to use command strips for stuff like this. You always bring us such elegance along with informative information, and it's truly appreciated. Lots of love Kiva.❤❤❤, until the next. I'll be waiting.

[@seriouslytho5783]

I am about to have a BLAST shopping my home. I never settled into my new apartment, but I've been shopping the whole time😬 This video was added inspiring. I'm definitely more of a maximalist, so finding clever ways to display things that I love is extremely useful.

[@michelleelle4622]

WOW! I absolutely love all of the art in your childhood home! ❤❤

[@cherisemcgrady6260]

Ok need that cute little lamp on the coffee table. 😊

[@pattyldn7132]

love the doggie peeping out from one of the dining chairs. so cute 😍😍

[@marylut6077]

So imaginative how you shopped in your own home and repurposed things!

[@TxDad6022]

Great job on your rooms. You always inspire me. I was surprised at how I was enchanted with the views of your childhood home. 😊

[@daneeinglis1894]

Such a great redo! I moved into an apartment where I can't drill into the walls, the Command strips and hangers have been a godsend. I have a ton of art and family photos (and my ex found 2 big boxes of family fotos that I'd thought I'd lost over 10 years ago. I'm going to be changing out a bunch of photos, and storing the others so they last another 100 years!

[@shondab3177]

Absolutely beautiful! That mirror is everything! 💗

[@janetingacollins6409]

Love that funky round mirror!

[@fionaatkins]

Great video! I can 100% endorse the Command products....I've been using them for 10+ years and they have never let me down.

[@SharilynJohnson]

The Command claws are a game-changer. I recently moved into a place with a bizarre combination of metal studs and plaster, and they're holding up my heavy ceramic signs easy peasy. My walls aren't suited to just pressing them in with my thumbs, so a hammer is necessary, but still... grateful for whatever nerd came up with them.

[@oaxaca1948]

I don't like the pear centerpiece.

[@thecourtlyalchemist]

What a great use for souvenir magnets!

[@SometimeAgo65]

Loved the pop of color in the living area too ❤

[@applezaida3815]

Your doggie peeking out from the dining room table awwww….love!! ❤❤.

[@farmlife5197]

I LOVE command. Everything in my house is hung with something by them. 😊

[@afrierson]

I didn’t know you have seating under the TV 🤔 Those heavy Command strips are about to be a game changer for me!

[@leslieschmitt7749]

I’m love the new dining room wall … so attractive!! 😊❤

[@KivaBrent]

Thank you!!

[@erinw1196]

Can you link the faux branches you used?

[@carollatimer2820]

I’ve you and babe are EVER wanting to visit the SF/sonoma/napa area, I would be honored to host you! I think of you as a friend 😊

[@Donna-vh5ym]

@carol// if Kiva & Babe are too busy let me know...lol.

[@KaffeinatedENT]

I love it here 🎉

[@KivaBrent]

I’m so happy that you’re here 😊💕

[@thistledowntreasures7990]

Nice way to display the magnets. It always irritates me when I have my refrigerator covered with magnets, but I don’t wanna get rid of them

[@eleanorrkuntzi6422]

Learned some new things! Thank you.

[@lillianbarker4292]

I’m inspired! Thank you.

[@IamDrSaki]

Hey Kiva! I'm excited to be here on time! I hope that you had a great week...and that you and Babe have a wonderful weekend! Now let me get into this video! 🤗💕

[@KivaBrent]

Thank you so much! I love hearing from you every Friday :) Have an incredible weekend! 💕

[@IamDrSaki]

@@KivaBrent I'm always so excited when I get the notification, that I just have to let you know that I'm here...😂🤣

[@madelynsonego5977]

Opening KZbin and seeing a new KB video. Day made!

[@toshalawson5382]

KB, you did an amazing job. I really enjoyed your video ❤

[@susandorset2080]

Beautiful restyling...... I absolutely love the mirror.

[@maryd253]

Great advice!

[@ALICIAMARTINEZ-wk1oz]

So chic! Loved the results because it added so much character to the space. My only thing is the sofa… the cushions look empty on purpose? I guess it’s my OCD but I cannot deal with so many wrinkles or lack of volume, but again… maybe it’s just the style 😁.

[@mstsp9546]

Great ideas, 3-M makes the most useful products that actually work. After watching this, I looked at some ways to get things to hang or stick on drywall, which is almost impossible other than from these products. I have a toilet paper holder, that has been driving me nuts and hurting the wall, so what a great idea. Thanks!

[@lavernejackson7916]

BEAUTIFUL KB THANKS FOR SHARING

[@KivaBrent]

Thanks so much for watching!! 💕

[@dde716]

Looks so nice!!!!

[@HR-re6mr]

I love the idea of the magnets hung up.. I’m trying to figure out how to do something with mine! Great idea!

[@vickyjohnson7172]

Nobody asked, but Kiva,, try turning the coffee table around. Good job!

[@lauriealmaeena8713]

Yes i also want to know were i can buy a candle warmer as i think its better to use then burning the candle (:

[@lauriealmaeena8713]

This is going to be fun !! 😊

[@ObedienceOrSacrifice]

Turned out lovely, TFS!

[@KivaBrent]

Thanks so much!!

[@cindywannamaker5299]

O love the little lamp on the coffee table! Where can i fund one similar?

[@lauriealmaeena8713]

Looks nice !

[@RitaVernoy]

Love it!

[@gigireddick3239]

Great suggestions!!! I love your style!!❤❤

[@KivaBrent]

Thank you so much!! 💕

[@carollatimer2820]

L❤VE your repurposing of furniture!!

[@mrs.carter4775]

Your dog is the best part of the video ❤

[@lillmiss22]

Love love love your style. I'm going to have to see if you did a vid on your living room chairs and coffee table! So beautiful.

[@deehoward2351]

Lovely redo. I use command strips, too, but for precious items, I may use an anchor with a strong screw along with the command strips for a little extra reassurance.

[@kdrummond449]

Looks so very nice!

[@KivaBrent]

Thank you!!

[@yvettecompton7025]

Hi Puppy!

[@flaviasilvaa]

Kiva , first you look amazing ❤ Second of all just love all the decoration tips , layering the cushions and covers I learned with you and now I don’t lose them anymore and save a lot of space Thanks for your videos ❤😘😘😘

[@trueleo38]

Thanks as always for the tips!

[@KivaBrent]

Thanks for watching!!

[@MsMaxinejoy]

I use those command hooks in my closet for my handbags and leather totes. I keep bags stuffed with plastic to retain shape.

[@lissamcdermott756]

Love your outfit!

[@KivaBrent]

Thank you!!

[@clara_1113]

Looks 👍

[@janwhite1361]

Interesting as always 👍

[@barbaraknox2881]

Nice!! Loving the look!! 👍🏾 Didn’t know Command had stripes to hold that weight! Excellent tip!!!

[@ItsMyLifeDaralynn]

I held a mirror on the wall with the strips. It was a full length .

[@jessicapinto3817]

The lint roller is a brilliant idea !

[@jessicapinto3817]

And your home is gorgeous 😊😊

[@pamela3722]

Your dog is adorable in the dining chair. I love Command products. But I had no idea they had things like that. I bought the hook thing from somewhere. To hang the two mirrors that I have hung up. I do have some of the wall hanging strips. I haven’t used them yet. I have Command hooks in my bathrooms. They are specifically made for bathrooms. I love how everything turned out. It’s something even I could do. Thanks for another great video.

[@eternalili5301]

Pittsburgh!!!

[@charlened4108]

Aaaaaaa!!! I have the same table you just put between your chairs! I have a Kiva-approved piece of furniture! Clearly I’m paying attention and learning good stuff.😊

[@LindsPatz10]

I finally bought the faux tulips on Amazon in this color you suggested! My arrangement sadly doesn’t look as chic as yours, but I’m going to keep working at it haha

[@charchargabor5601]

Love that mirror! Where is it from please? Thanks

[@lisasegbefia6530]

Hi, love this new look. Please send me the link for the table rechargeable lamp, unable to find it on your Amazon..ty

[@newluhu]

Hi kiva, love it, sometime you don't need to purchase anything, just switch up things and that's it. Great job. Have a great weekend, my friend. "PEACE & LOVE" 😘🙏

[@judys5767]

Thanks again for the great ideas. My favorite tip is hanging the blankets on the wall along with information about the drywall hangers. Why do you have chairs placed under the tv?

[@hatchmando4918]

Probably for conversation. The tv isnt always used when you have company. People sit and talk sometimes. That’s my guess

[@mamaathome5681]

Hallo my dear Love good job thank you ❤❤

[@vypham1674]

Hi Kiva! So happy to see a new video. Where is your couch from? Looks so comfy. ❤

[@rondymiller4044]

Hi, do these work on plaster walls.

[@tammybrennan2040]

You have such beautiful things 💞🌷 I’d love to shop your home :)

[@GilliMarieMoody]

Some good points. Respectfully, the black cushion blocks the pattern of the one behind it.

[@irun2day1]

Oh my Goodness! There you are! I somehow lost the contact information I had for you and so enjoy! You are one of my all time favorites and go to’s for inspiration, encouragement and useful ideas with your many varied and helpful Decorating and Design tips covering many different topics! I’m sending my comment and hoping to not lose you again🧐🙄🥰

[@jackiegillyard758]

Command strips are a renters dream

[@mariastathopoulos744]

I've had 2 framed pictures drop to the floor last summer off Command hooks. The wall paint was also scratched as a consequence. Now l nail my picture hooks! I would find the 2 picture lamps at the front of the TV distracting. They should be placed on the sides without impediment.

[@user-do4gh7kl7u]

All great suggestions. Do you recommend Chom Chom? We need a really effective pet hair remover.

[@thanyberg7754]

Loved this video. But where is the gorgeous art that used to flank the mirror in your living room???

[@debracampbell3273]

Great tips ! Which dollar store did you purchase the white candle powder ??? And the pears ?

[@hatchmando4918]

I don’t see the command strip you used for the heavy mirror in your links. I looked thru all of their products. Do you trust it? That will make me so nervous but i want to try them!

[@loisdmichael5131]

Hi KB, Love your home. I wanted to ask, where did you get the mirror from. I’ve been looking for that exact mirror for my entryway. Looking forward to hearing from you! Regards, Ldm

[@MsMaxinejoy]

I LOVE the claw hooks!! I get mine from Home Depot or Target. I have an Afrocentric maximum look, and those claws are helpful. They keep my African masks on the wall without damaging it.

[@deanadavis7616]

Love your coffee table! Where is it from?

[@jenniferclyde8911]

Dude, add the command things to your Amazon store. I will in fact buy some here in earthquake land lol I’ve been into dried flowers and branches lately. Can’t kill them either 😂 love the couch update ideas!

[@moniquehamilton7391]

Quick question about decorating with boxes: would you stack 2 different boxes if they coordinate?

[@gailwilliams5278]

I would (for what my opinion is worth). The fact that they are both boxes, and coordinating, would make it work. Being different would just add interest.

[@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley]

Hanging blankets on the wall as decor is actually really cute :) I went cliche and put mine in a basket under an end table 😅. I also like your scented sandy pears display (as I'm going to call it, lol!). Going to have to look that up as a nice alternative (or accompanyment) to the candles and wax melts I'm trying to use up. And lastly, the tulips that you used on your coffee table, are those real? They're beautiful! This was a really great refresh for the living room 😊

[@candasbrown6913]

nice

[@KivaBrent]

Thanks for watching!!

[@SometimeAgo65]

I know its probably a space issue but I just dont like the tv hanging without a console below it. I have a long, narrow sunroom and I hung a tv on the wall bit it needed a console. We made one that had a narrow depth of 12 inches but it definitely works. It just anchors the tv so that its not hanging In Space 😊❤ everything looks lovely in your space though

[@ltgemini1599]

Did she say if the magnets were in a shadow box, or open frame? Also, how are they attached? What would you do for coins? Thanks!

[@debrahutchinson387]

Where did you find the mirror?

[@teannettemajor1609]

I like the maximalism is sentimentalism

[@oliviarenteria9770]

Love your house. Can you please tell me the color in the walls 🤎

[@ItsMyLifeDaralynn]

I can't help but laugh at your pup peeking over the dining table . Super cute! I love the white walls where the console is located. It's a smart idea about the images . I don't like too many photos scattered everywhere . I love the pillow idea on the couch . where did you get the cute outfit you have on ?

[@2shejack]

Hi, loved this video. Have a few questions, what type of tv is that? and where did you get those gold tin storage boxes from? The ones that have extra silverware in them in the dining room?

[@2shejack]

Also, the faux tree in the living room is very full and realistic looking. Where did you get it?

[@KivaBrent]

The TV is the Samsung Frame TV. The gold storage boxes are from Amazon!

[@KivaBrent]

The tree is from Value City Furniture!

[@mrssap8603]

Where can I purchase that candle warmer?

[@nopressurenodiamonds5566]

Amazon has tons including one like that.

[@reneehuff3084]

Kiva😂 that Charlie Brown tree made me die!

[@susanwhite3007]

❤

[@scarlettehaynes4819]

You home looks so comfy and welcoming. I will say I can’t seating in front of a window. I’m not sure why but it gives me the willies! Ha

[@fromhumblebeginnings7798]

Normal response as you don't see what is going on out there.
