HOW TO MAKE YOUR BATHROOM LOOK EXPENSIVE EVEN ON A BUDGET!

[@Veronica-uv9ng]

I love your content…especially this one. I am my husband’s caregiver (he’s a disabled veteran) and we spend most of our time at home. I try to make our home as comfortable and “retreat-like” as possible….and I think it’s so important to use the “good dishes” or the “good towels”….🤣😇

[@rachelp8183]

Thank you to your husband for his service!! 🇺🇸

I just gut renovated my teeny tiny condo bathroom (88 sq feet) and I’m in love with it. Decided if I was going to have such a small bathroom it was going to be as cool as possible. Used long skinny black tile in the shower, took down drywall and repaired the old brick behind it, custom marble floor and sink drawer, brass fixtures. All so worth it.

[@dreesebrownlee6]

@Maren Nicholson Sounds amazing !!!!

[@VolcanoGroupie]

Yes, it sounds terrific. Congrats!

[@27Spiritgirl]

LOVE these "elegance on a budget " vlogs! Proof positive that "true style" can come from the imagination and not necessarily from the wallet! xoxo

[@jwestfalldavis3574]

Okay, Valentina, you really did it this time. You were able to talk about most things bathroom related in a high-end way. And it was humorous.

[@simarkaur9486]

U know what my best takeaway from your videos I have seen so far is how u live every moment fully in present n enjoy even smallest of things like having coffee n so on washing your hands with a good quality of soap how u pay attention to every detail

[@mayeighteen2812]

I like how you touch on different senses for a complete mood, it’s not just about how it looks on the surface. The scents, the textures, the cohesive styles all work in harmony. ALSO I LOVE that shower head!!! What is that finishing called? Like an antique silver 😍 I’d love to know where you got it! Such a unique finishing.

[@dianacooper-havlik9085]

I adore every room in your house! And how your clothes match the house!💫

[@tajthegreatone9326]

Yes! My restroom is like my own private sanctuary. It really helps you unwind and truly enjoy the space when it's decorated nicely. I was really hoping that you were going to show us how you decorated yours.

[@pamelapiller3002]

Have i told you how adorable you are? I love your excitement! And i love seeing you with your husband! I love your videos, never boring! Oh yes and your recipes!

[@pamelapiller3002]

Lol! I called but didn’t leave a call back number! I have had workmen in the apartment for weeks and i am losing it! 😁

[@ppac876]

I love watching your videos so much! You never sound like you’re pushing people to buy what you endorse or recommend. And just the way you give your opinions and ideas, are so different from other youtubers I’ve watched. And like so many others here, I literally just snagged the last trash can at the target near me 😄

[@whiskersBOOSTER2]

Hundred percent agree with making our home as cozy and luxurious as possible. Love this video!💕

[@rzpotts4]

You enthusiasm and ideas are amazing.

[@ednareid5315]

I love the marble boxes and I ordered one from Amazon. Yes the bathroom must smell good always! Thanks again for the great tips. Love the black vases, have to check Target❤️

[@leighmartel2884]

Thank you so much for all you share. My husband is a realtor and I love helping him with design ideas. Your posts are so insightful and I love your enthusiasm.

[@juanasangels]

Can you maybe on homes without an entryway. Like you go right into the living space.?

[@LillianOglethorpe]

I would love that too!

[@milolind9758]

I can really recommend a Maison Berger lamp in the bathroom. It really does clean the air and the bottles are so beautiful!

[@gizziejubilee]

Completely agree about the trash can i have bought so many still haven't found one i like ps. Your videos have inspired me not to settle with my old junky furniture and to make my home somewhere i want to be and feel pampered so thank you!! Love your videos 😊

[@anaalves3658]

I love your new rubbish bin 👏👏👏😍. I would totally buy it if I lived in North America. I agree with lovely scents for your home. And lots of plush thick bath towels 😁.

[@laurabunting2689]

I was skeptical what tips I could use in my 80+ year old bathrooms but you never fail to give great tips!

[@xeniaboutchard6496]

Thank you for sharing your personal life with us. Love all the tips 👍 Can I add with the bathroom bin: it's okay to not have it visible. Our bathroom isn't large so the bin (with lid) is mounted to the inside of the vanity door - couldn't be happier.

[@victoriasagraves4343]

OMG! You are cracking me up today Valentina! Come on people, I love the trash can! Lol! I enjoy your you tube ideas! It’s the small items that you get excited about. But, I do agree it’s a little things, I am currently trying to limit too much cluttered items on my counters & it helps to maintain the space & has a beautiful look. I guess that would be more intentional decor decor. I like a traditional modern/farmhouse look, with color& black pieces. Warmth! I am in the middle of a budget friendly bathroom update, paint & a new countertop & I hope the finished look will be as I have imagined for it. It’s a bit out of my comfort & trial errors to trim it out, but, it’s worth the effort. Thanks

[@maipham4766]

In Love with your tips so inspiring ❤️ please make a video about how to design a closet and make it look sophisticated thank you

[@DougxEddy]

Changin those toggle switches to rocker switches would do wonders!! Add screwless plates, yum!

[@wcouch8]

Love the recommendation to add scent. Candles are A+. An alternative to open fire is easy and innexpensive. Spray scent on your TP roll on the outside edge or cardboard center each time you change the roll. I use high quality oil + dollar tree isopropyl + dollar tree spray bottle = super innexpensive and refillable option.

[@nicolamedrano8110]

Why do you use the isopropyl alcohol please?

[@wcouch8]

@@nicolamedrano8110 it dilutes the oils so they easily spray without hurting the oils, then it quikly evaporates leaving them nicely distributed. i use this trick for a lot of oils ... TP in the bathroom, peppermint to keep the mice out of the big trash can, and more.

[@ericagreen4015]

I enjoyed the video and congratulations on getting closer to 200k! I rushed to buy the trash can from target. It was almost sold out. I was like yes!! I beat the other HOV watchers in my area finally!🤣🤣

[@HouseofValentina]

Thank you so much!

[@chefcatturner4895]

Thanks for the tips, I was hoping to see your bathroom though. Keep the great videos coming.

[@ef5842]

V., You present the decorating world so professionally.

[@heather4219]

I love the Black vase you show us with the clipping from your garden, where did you get that vase it's so fabulous! I have changed so many things in my house after watching your channel! I have taken a lot of your advice and made my house look more staged and it seems to really make a difference. Funny thing is, my husband said to me, are we selling the house? LOL.

[@irmayorke9075]

I try and do all of this. I really like a nice hand soap and it also makes your bathroom smell nice.

[@Tmoney6868]

I got the matte black waste basket yesterday. Thanks for the tip!

[@coletteHawk]

There are also those cute little step trash cans you can get at Home Goods, so the lid comes down automatically. Perfect for the bathroom and waaayyy better than the open ones where you see everybody’s crumpled up tissues. I’ve had it for years and love it!

[@TheHijabi]

Yes real plants in the bathroom 🥰 They like the humidity. I have a bird of paradise and it is about 7-8 feet at the moment 😊 Brings me so much joy!

[@binkyandgunther]

your bathroom must be enormous!! 🤩

[@briore3856]

Love the video, Valentina!! I recently copied one of your DIY modern art pieces on a giant canvas and hung it above our bubble bath tub. It is a piece of luxury that I wouldn't have thought to lavish on a bathroom before I started watching your channel several months ago. Thank you for the inspiration! I feel very lux and pampered every time I look at that painting.

[@huldaolafsdottir4898]

Thank you so much Valentina! It was really helpful.

[@lela2280]

I SO feel you with the trash can :'D When I finally found the perfect one for my bathroom (a very small, minimalistic, all white enamel bucket with matching lid), I was over the moon for three days straight! Also bought a second one for cleaning the cats' litter box, even though no one save for me and my bf ever sees that one, bc it's all in the details ;)

[@2bfamos]

I’m not alone! Yes! 😂

[@ruthgarrett277]

Going for that trash can for sure! I hate looking down into the trash. So great to find a kindred spirit. And the French dept store scent. Yum. You simply MUST visit BELLYARD hotel in Atl, close to Ikea, and sniff out the Lobby. No kidding. Drop dead wonderful. Find out what it is! Take Jack in with you. Lovely modern lobby too! ❤️

[@lindas.7083]

Frontgate's towels are the BEST! I have the white ones.

Cannot agree with you more on investing in smaller things that get used every day but often get neglected

[@robinbirdj743]

Great admission of how frugal you are in that you refill the lovely soap pump...I use a metal one which looks like an old fashioned oil can and refill also. Another way to save is to get a really nice foaming soap dispenser...especially where kids are concerned, because they often se too much.

[@margaretames6522]

I’ve already put that cute trash can on my Target shopping list! I am fellow enthusiast for a well designed trash can!

[@stephanie2049]

Hi Valentina please please please can you and your husband do a video on really good scented candles and scented reed diffusers and where to get them. as some candles smell so good before they are lit but then no scent, this is also the case with some of the diffusers.

[@faith1characterhope]

Hi Valentina, i stumbled on your channel when looking for tips on home staging, and I love your ideas and your energy! You mentioned here that you like real plants, whether cut or potted. Could you give some ideas on what you like in a vase, and what you would use for different types of cuttings? I always seem to have a hard time finding something I like. Thanks and keep up the great work!

[@deblovespoke]

Your bathroom is absolutely beautiful. The reflection on your shower door is so pretty. Looks like out of a high-end design magazine. Question though. How do you save real live plants indoors? I never seem to be able to give them enough sunlight.

[@jessielynchanparaiso8882]

Not all plants need direct sunlight. Spider plant and snake plants are examples that can survive even inside the bathroom.

[@laurehancock1334]

Pothos! Buy actual houseplants which are for low light. Realize that most potted flowering plants that look so pretty in the store won’t look that way long in your home. Not your fault. Think of them like cut flowers but maybe last longer.

[@ccadvisor489]

Thank you so much for the tips on the shampoo, conditioner and body wash. I have ultra sensitive skin and I can’t wait to try them. Congratulations on your ever increasing subscribers. Well deserved.💕

[@hometobodywellness]

Love love love this video. If you are in Australia Kmart has a marble style round container that looks exactly the same. Probably not the same quality but a great replica. Love a good bargain that looks luxe.

[@danielmcgrath5661]

I prefer the Aesop room spray over a candle. I didn't see your bath towels in this video. But can you share a link for your black and gray "zigzag" towels? Thank you for all the great content week after week.

Thank your wonderful brave husband from me as well. Another one of our finest!! The lord bless you in your home always and I pray it brings you much pleasure and joy.

What scent is the “signature “ scent in the Hotel Diffusers? I’ve only found the scents of the various hotels. I bought “Dream on” ( from The Westin) , and I like it.

[@traceydominguez2475]

I absolutely love your channel ❤️❤️ My daughter is getting married and soon we will be doing wedding selections and I would love love love for you to do a video on how to make selections that will endure the test of time. I will be guiding her but I need help 😬. When I got married I had help from a department store professional but they don’t really do that anymore. Do they? I don’t even know if couples still pick fine China and silverware? I would love to know what the House of Valentina must haves for newlyweds. Please ~ Thanks we love you guys Tracey D

Do you think the rain made you feel this way. I love your humor you make design such a happy experience along with catching your attention. Why not start with a waste basket to catch our interest. I love the marble box. Your bathroom is just beautiful. Any suggestions for where to shop faucets and shower heads? There are so many brands and what will look good and lasts.

I ordered the Black trash container and black the toilet bowl cleaner container as soon as I saw them yday on your video. Going to pick them up! Such a great find! Q: is the planter from Crate and Barrel, if so it is the large one? I’m going to order two but can’t seem to figure the size from your video. Thank you, Valentina!

[@sv4673]

Can you do one on bathroom shower curtains

[@2bfamos]

I have been obsessing over having an open trashcan in my bathroom too! I keep buying and returning them because it just drives me crazy! I finally just started using a paper plant pot under the sink: I throw my trash in it while I’m getting ready, empty it out into the kitchen trash, and then slip it back under the sink. (I live in an apartment, so the kitchen trash is like two feet away.) I figure if I have guests over, I’ll hand them a plastic bag for their trash, lol! I even bought a beautiful basket weave trash can from Pottery Barn for $60! But I’m sending it back because now it’s like my trash can is too precious and if someone were to throw something wet in there, I’d have to end them.😅

[@LiveLoveCHXBeach]

Feel the same about trash cans...ordered online 2! Lol didnt know I had 87.OO gift card balance plus 4 dollars rewards.

[@christinab.9330]

[@debracampbell3273]

Love your style ! I'm going to purchase the trash can ! Lol Are all the walls in your bathroom the Polar Bear from Behr ?

[@robinbirdj743]

A tip for clutter : get a really good low caboinet and a high, wall one too. Get a wonderful real wood one installed between the joists with 4 shelves, extra deep. That will store a lot of clutter and look great all the time. I can keep rolls of toilet paper in mine :)) Purge everything else!

[@Sueanne88]

Your videos always make laugh 😅

[@NullitasAmare]

Sorry to bother but, we don't plan to stay in our current house for too long. Maybe a couple more years before we pack up and move out of state. So my partner doesn't want to repaint our outdated cabinets, nor change out the Santa Cecilia Gold countertops we have. Say I can convince him to let me finally paint the cabinets, what can I do to make the countertops look less like vomit to me, or at least tone down the gold/yellow tone? We have nice beige tile floors, also fairly outdated, but nice on their own.

[@triniraleigh3936]

The chair next to the fiddle leaf? I want to put a chair when stepping out shower just not sure of what to put. Bench or chair
