I like how you keep saying "I love it". That's really the point. Cultivate with what you love.

[@ibislife]

Oh no! I think I have misunderstood the concept! Lol! My cabinet is filled with family treasures, inherited silver boxes, silver candle holders, candles, my treasured coffee set, and a big blue and white soup terrine (or Tureen) and everything in between. 😉 I wallpapered the back of it with a vintage Ralph lauren wallpaper. And the cabinet itself is an. antique mahogany book cabinet, from the 1920's. I rescued it from the estate after my in laws, when my sister in law wanted to put it in the garbage container. 😳 I absolutely love the rustic pottery. You give me ideas!

[@deeannaschutz4049]

Your cabinet sounds delightful.

[@jennmccann2536]

After you play with it more, PLEASE LET US SEE THE FINAL!!!!!! I think a picture behind some of the glasses may may them pop out a bit more. I love what you did. I LOVED the French look!! I don't have many glasses. I don't think Yeti would look so great in there...LOL. You' ve opened my imagination up yet again. Thank you!!

[@Jennifer-nz2ss]

This was cool! I switch mine alot too!😊 almost weekly. Love the black.

[@barbaraderossi7]

Both look great! personally liked look 1 with the pictures, i liked that added layer of interest.

[@creva7198]

Love that you chose to share ideas in a china cabinet. I think a lot of us struggle with this area and don't see much content on. How about bookcase ideas in the future. Thank you.

[@SylvieBenoit-lc5zc]

Loving look #2 ! thank you for the inspiration... I know what I will be doing this week-end!, re-looking the China cabinet!

[@a.piz.916]

Bonjour Valentina, je vous suis depuis le Sud de la France avec beaucoup d intérêts.. C est mon premier commentaire pour vous féliciter pour ces belles présentations de vaisseliers.. coup de coeur pour la 1ere version ! Tellement de charme✨ Merci pour ce partage, au plaisir de vous retrouver.🤗🇫🇷

[@leannsfearcocktail9420]

As soon as I saw the black decorative bowl I pressed pause and purchased it in under 120 seconds. It’s going to feel like Christmas morning when I get my FedEx tomorrow. You have a good eye and great taste.

[@cindyb9833]

Look No. 2 is my favorite. I enjoy watching you put these looks together.

[@vivianreid4575]

You got me pulling out vases & glassware I have not seen in years!! OMG!

[@HouseofValentina]

That's so much fun!!!

[@cindyripke-om3di]

I love the french country look!! I do have my Mother's hutch, it's maple wood. I have some of her cut glass and crystal pieces as well as pieces I have collected to add too.

[@virginiaashmore8643]

I love your teaching videos where you share your thought process. We know why you chose that piece and placed it there. Thank you.

[@HouseofValentina]

You are so welcome!

[@April.King11]

I love u, Valentina!! Ur style, ur personality, ur home! It’s just so fun!

[@HouseofValentina]

Thank you so much!!

[@ruthgarrett277]

Swimming in a pool of great ideas is a valued characteristic of passionate interior designers! Enjoy shifting, shoving, and editing all day long. 😀😀😂😉🤞🏼👍🏻

[@fionaschiffl8065]

I like look 2 with the photos in it and more variety in the sizes and shapes but it all depends on the function of the space. I love it when you put greenery in your cabinet even with the tree on a side. If I was putting in a lot of things the same size, I’d probably put a wood riser or two underneath to vary the height and to fill more of the space but at the same time leave enough negative space for calm. I bought a cabinet with French doors and the long metal handle a few years ago because I love the magic you do with a cabinet. When I first heard of people not filling shelves and bookcases with books and decorating instead, it made my head spin that they would use if for a different purpose that may not even be functional. I grew up in the 70s and 80s. Now I love the notion of using space for joy and making functional pieces beautiful too.

[@crystalferris8425]

Thanks so much! I needed this. Just bought 4 IKEA Havsta cabinets for my dining room and had no idea how to style it!

[@anakemple5698]

Functional and gorgeous 😍 love both looks, but the second one looks more intentional with the inviting glassware ✨️

[@eleanorrkuntzi6422]

This was a great video! Thank you for some great ideas. You are right -- it is so nice to see the pieces we love, have special meaning or deserve to be on display rather than hidden in a solid door cabinet.

[@HouseofValentina]

Thank you so much!

[@jeanninewarner9394]

Adore this. Thank you! It's cold and rainy in Wisconsin today...and you've inspired me to love up our home a bit...grab boxes from the basement that often stay unseen as I get complacent and stick with what I have currently displayed. My house is reading cozy winter. After planting all our flowers and herbs yesterday it's time to bring on some freshness. The pillow styling video was in my head ALL last night...I'm looking at you...green velvet pillows...:)

[@verlenelewis9866]

I love the first design the best!😊

[@kjwdili]

I love you and your PASSION for decorating!!!

[@kjwdili]

And I am trying to find that french country pot on Etsy and I can not-= can you share a link for it please?

[@Dirceria]

Good job👏 My favorite is with glasses 😍but ,both are amazing

[@sfedrickbridges]

Both are nice, fave #2.

[@grkvenus7275]

Love it! Fireplace heaths and mantles is one I struggle with ALL THE TIME!

[@Multitasku]

This room is so pritty! 😍

[@Beajacks]

Loved this video. I think I preferred the first look with more contrast, but useful to have glassware in easy reach. Rethinking my practical china cabinet into something more stylish now😁👍🏼Thankyou Valentina x

[@rondabriggs5936]

I love both looks but I think the first look is my favorite.

[@diogenes7047]

Valentina, I agree that a china cabinet is not just for storing china! I purchased ours at a hospital charity shop, and I have placed some of my mother's lalique pieces and her small collectibles, including her Jay Strongwater picture frames. Makes me happy to look at them, as they hold sentimental pictures. I say, "to each his own". Have a wonderful day!

[@DominiqueLapierre-uu5wh]

I prefer Number 1 but both looks are nice 😊

[@janetholley1004]

This is fun, now you have inspired me to swap out some decor pieces. I love it, thanks Valentina!

[@sara_387]

Looks beautiful. I do love the single vintage cabinet with the contrast of white and black, rather than a whole wall. Can you show us how you would style your table? Do you mix and match the different sets?

[@ElizabethMayoleth]

I like the second arrangement for the inside, but the way you had the very top of the cabinet itself styled in the first look better. Something about the clear glassware just sparkles by the heavier vases, dinnerware, and sculptures. Beautiful!

[@user-fi6ph6mg3i]

Piece of art to watch

[@HouseofValentina]

Thank you so much!

[@elinorlenehen3143]

As my daughter and I always say creative possibilities are endless. Each endeavor stimulates more interesting combinations.

[@susanmccombs9438]

I vote for your first set up, I agree that the second one gets lost with the white background.

[@AnnEaton-xj6ic]

I have a china cabinet (very rustic) my dad made me before he passed. I just told him what I wanted it to look like & he made it without using a pattern!! Currently I use it in our bathroom. Top shelves for towels & washclothes The bottom 3 shelves for decor. Cabinet at the bottom holds all the non pretty essentials!! Love your videos!! I always learn something useful!! Thanks!!🥰

[@alysa1594]

Growing up my mom always had a china cabinet and she took so much pride in rearranging, displaying, and utilizing her china and glassware...she loved entertaining and loved her quick access to her fine china and glassware. I find myself exactly like her! I would choose look #3, it looks beautiful Valentina! It allows you to see it, share it as conversations pieces, and use it!

[@lesleecarson4071]

The last one with the glass stem is stunning.

[@patwilkinson2182]

Great looks! Love the first one

[@rickigottlieb]

I like both of them, for different reasons. They’re much better than the original, which was just a display cabinet. Now they look purposeful to the room, curated and beautiful, and as you said, you can enjoy your things.

[@HouseofValentina]

Thanks!

[@alimo1611]

exactly

[@ericadevonco]

Love love love the lived in look and glassware look as well! I just purchased a stunning antique mahogany China cabinet and I’m excited to style it! Your ideas are perfection!

[@karenoconnor4965]

LOVE your style! 😍

[@1234Eveline]

Hello Valentina, thank you for making this video it is a great starting point for my own china cabinet design.

[@u.mazzeru3327]

I live in France and have that exact same vintage jar. 😊

[@toppcatt5113]

my favorite thing is the portrait.

[@bevwhittaker597]

I love both. I painted my brown cabinet black. It look so modern now in the hallway.

[@jennyparham8626]

I like the 2nd look. 😊

[@CarlSipek]

I love everything that you do!

[@izziegirl6871]

Very fun to watch it all unfold! Nicely done.

[@nancyevans822]

I like the first one, but the top of the second one looks best!

[@AMcD73]

Absolutely the best!

[@newluxurylifestyle7943]

thank you for the inspiration !😊

[@DonnaRo]

Love the look! 😍This was fun to watch! 🥳Thank you so much!😁🥰

[@martaharo9605]

I loved look number 1-love me some contrast. 😍

[@carolthomas9720]

Love the glassware!

[@hollymccormack4081]

Both options look great, although #2 is more practical - being in the dining room and all - but I like the look of the first one though. Both looks are cohesive with your color scheme and I would love some tips on how to bring in family heirlooms that don't really fit the overall scheme and blend them with some modern pieces as well. Grandma's flowery soup tureen and a modern sculptural piece - can it work? I always enjoy your tips and tricks - thank you for the lesson.

[@trishamorgan4]

Love this. Going to change my china cabinet tomorrow

[@mireyaharo6977]

Very beautiful love them all great ideas Valentina

[@normamaher9901]

The styling is so gorgeous Valentina 😍

[@masulliv55]

Very pretty

[@kathleenjost1624]

I like look #2 best, but then I have been obsessed with dishes for years! Everything you do looks great! You are so talented. I love your passion for life!

[@sherrywells5712]

Love all three! Struggling with ceiling fan and lighting choice in great room. Have similar layout to yours and high ceilings. Thank you.

[@carolyngrotaers4454]

I definitely like option no.2. It's the most purposeful for the room space. I think if you can have another cabinet built the same as your styled cabinet and it fits within the space, it would be the most useful for this area for all of your collection.

[@barbaravirta821]

I liked the first design better; a bit more mix of color and texture.😊

[@lisap9363]

I love all your channels! Yes, always inspiring whether the style is similar to mine or not. I just enjoy your way of presenting content no matter what the topic!

[@HouseofValentina]

Thank you so much!

[@christinevelsen526]

i like the second look because it looks more airy!

[@glendashine9468]

I really appreciate styling videos!

[@HouseofValentina]

Glad you like them!

[@tondafied]

I lovvvvve my china cabinet maybe you could style one that’s more traditional too you the big mirrored lighted China cabinets lol. Both of your designs look awesome I really enjoy your channel

[@michelewilson6183]

I would add a bit of green as you have the green plants popping about! Just a bit.

[@kellyconnor8244]

I liked look 1 best but I love the tagine. Could you put something like a slate board behind the glasses to make them stand out maybe? I think of you when I see the le creuset black and white tagine I think you should buy that too 😊A hanging down plant would look lovely on top. I’m away to style a bookcase now! Xx

[@sue8539]

Can I say, "BOTH!!!"

[@janhaley1212]

Growing up my mother’s break front contained the set of China service for 8, each place setting a different wild flower that my grandmother painted. It is beautiful. I have a few of the place settings now. Not everything in the breakfront is china. My grandmother loved glass. She worked part time in the glass department at the nice department store in town. She was Swedish and they love glass and dishes. I favorite piece is a turquoise opaque of a standing chicken candy dish. And the big cranberry glass piece.

[@Asphodel27one]

I buy and display vintage ceramics and statues, often cool midcentury items - much rather have those than something new made in China and shipped almost around the world.

[@RavenGirl333]

Love look #1 but add some glassware for sparkle.

[@brianbattle4432]

Your selections for the China cabinet are STUNNING ❤

[@lolasalesmoore236]

Way to go again, and again V!!!

[@JoR00ke]

Hi V, I think I preferred the first one as the pieces stood out more. Your glassware kind of disappeared into the white background, if the inside of the cabinet was black they'd pop more but it probably looked much better in person 😀 Either way, very lovely x

[@dygall4128]

Valentina, love this video and seeing how you put all the looks together. Isn’t your cabinet actually a display cabinet, not a China cabinet??

[@talisacopeland1767]

Love the art of cabinet styling. Look number one was my favorite. Where did you get the cabinet?

[@ij162]

I love modern and contemporary styles, however we have a lot of Ethan Ellen cherrywood living room and master bedroom furniture. What could be done to combine it with modern style? Thank you for this video. I didn’t know what to do with my old China Cabinet. You gave me great ideas!

[@maryfagan5178]

Thanks for inspiration. Have you seen the silverware that comes with a metal piece that the silverware hangs from?

[@claudiagawrys5320]

I need help styling the media cabinet under the tv! I’ve got a baby so need something practical 😊 love your videos!!

[@HouseofValentina]

Thank you so much!!!

[@chickaweeka]

Great styling. Love how you do it with such ease

[@HouseofValentina]

Thank you! 😊

[@Syntychehomedecor]

Love love❤

[@angela.m.thompson]

Great video! Is there an ideal height for china cabinet? Could you use an armoire/media cabinet the same way?

[@rhondanull6183]

This was a fun, helpful video! I loved the first one! Thanks 😊

[@HouseofValentina]

Thanks Rhonda!

[@bradhughes1533]

I’ve been having decorators block when it comes to my console table under the tv. I just can’t decide on anything

[@RitaVernoy]

So fun!

[@HouseofValentina]

Thanks Rita!

[@Bubbles-fw2ps]

My favorite look is the second one with the crystals. Great job as usual.

[@SoniaGoncalves-13me]

I noticed that some of your sculptured pieces had tags/stickers on them. Is that just forgetting to removed them? Or is that done for inventory purposes? Love it.

[@victoriadunn9165]

I did my china cabinet with wicker baskets and I do like it better than my China

[@erlandatugaw8883]

Have you seen the new Greek Key beach towels at H&M?! 😮😯😲🥰🥰🥰

[@Steph_Renee_RN]

Love both looks but I’m obsessed with look one!! Your sculptural pieces and French country look is just stunning in my eyes!! Such great timing because I’m trying to style our big China cabinet. This was so helpful and really enjoyed hearing your take on how to have fun and change things up with design!! 👏🏻👏🏻

[@shondab3177]

Love this video! I always have a hard time deciding what to put in my china cabinet so this gave me some wonderful ideas! I like the last one with all the pretty glasses but the plates and bowls should be placed in the bottom! Perfection! 🖤🤍

[@kellydugan9372]

What camera are you using the video looks very crisp filming is great

[@medshell4vr]

Glassware was my favorite ❤❤❤❤

[@HouseofValentina]

That's awesome!

[@marionandrews176]

I love look #2.

[@fionaschiffl8065]

The space I have trouble styling is wanting art on every wall while embracing negative space to keep it calming. I like (I think) a max of 3 frames the same and same colour scheme like B&W. I’m thinking about the sight lines but as my house is a bit of a maze it has sight lines on nearly every wall.

[@edeortigoza1075]

❤❤❤
