Hey everybody! If anybody wants to know when my new Design Club is launching, send me a Hi! at [e-mail]! (No crazy stuff, your email is safe with me!)

[@ninabee4895]

Can't wait!!

Im supposed to get my new house end of the month but is delayed cos of covid. Will be happy to get their advice once i hv the keys n the reno guys are back at work!

[@lynnesews9725]

Hey! I have been sewing for 50 years🧵🪡 This sewing background taught me more than anyone can understand. In addition to sewing skills, I know a lot about design, color, texture, fibers, and weaves, and design and function. Taking all of this knowledge makes it easy to transition to doing interior design. I highly recommend people learn how to sew. I have made all of my lined luxury draperies in my home and I have saved thousands of dollars.

[@LisaHoltDesign]

Lynne!!! That is amazing - what a skill!!!m👏🏻👏🏻 I had never thought about how sewing might translate to interior design work!! 💙 Thank you for filling me in...I don't know what I'd do without you guys setting me straight from time to time!! 😆💕 Thank you SO much for sharing your knowledge, and thank you for being a part of this channel!!! 🥰💜

[@manueliny1990]

Thats great. I am thing about how to make a trush can for my kitchen with recycling barrels. What is your advice?

[@ericabalko916]

Completely agree! I had a house with a 92” tall built in cabinet that was 28” wide. I got an expensive fabric from the goodwill of all places and made my own curtain. Pretty easy to do.

[@greeneyedgirlina]

2:24: Lisa re task lighting: “Did I just say sewing, who sews?” Haha. I still sew. I sew custom lined drapes, shams, throw pillows, a few comforters, table runners, bed skirts, huge custom teddy bears made with various clothing from recipient’s loved ones. Lisa. I found you yesterday and now I’m almost through binging all of your videos. Thanks for generously sharing your knowledge, my kind of person. Can you recommend where to shop online for lamp shades? Shades one wouldn’t find in Lamps Plus or big box stores. Thank you!

[@LisaHoltDesign]

Yay, I LUV my sewers! What would we do without you guys! No Window Treatments, no draped tables, no upholstery pillows cushions or even new facemasks!’s🙏🏻🥰 so glad you joined the channel, there’s lots more fun stuff coming!

[@LisaHoltDesign]

Sorry I missed the note abt lampshades... I haven’t found someone online that does custom yet, but you might check with a local workroom who does Hite and Window Treatments… Often they will branch out and do specialty shaped lampshades as well. It’s a little tricky and I will put that on my list to see if I can find a good resource!

I have a request. Could you actually give your recommendations for what bulbs (I know it's very general) would most likely be good in living room lamps and bedroom lamps? I never know what to buy. Thank you. I love your videos. They are very helpful.

Yes please

[@christina9207]

omg! i had to stop right in the middle of your video and say...this is hands down the BEST lighting instruction out there! lighting is so difficult for diy decorators/designers. the light panel that you use to show us the difference in the light is super helpful. i have read so many articles and still did not understand....now i do. you explain things in a way that is so much easier to understand. i am forwarding this video to all of my friends!

That is awesome! Honestly, it's a super-power!

[@riverrock335]

Lighting is so critical to function, comfort and tension levels of the occupants. This needs to be taken in consideration for homes, schools and work places. I spent money on dimmer switches in my home and the family has benefited by the calming effect. We even added amber bulbs for night time use that helps with melatonin for good sleep.

[@JessRodr]

Somehow the KZbin gods brought me to your channel & I am SO extremely thankful! Now I’ve just got to figure out how to light my family room that has huge sets of French doors but never gets direct sunlight! Oh & the dreaded TV over the fireplace that the hubby REFUSES to move! 😳🤣

[@deftauntie7582]

Lumens and kelvins - I see 😮👍 I’m glad our go-to is the soft white in LEDs. According to your visual on 6:17, in this video, soft white is around the 3000’s 🤔🤓🙂

[@LisaHoltDesign]

You’re exactly right! Soft white would be 3000 kelvins, anything lower and it starts to get really yellowish, into the candle light colors, which have their place, but not for general ambient lighting…🙌🏻😍😘

[@TruthFLA]

There's are alot of content about the subject of lighting. I would love to see content specifically about table and floor lamps. What styles of lamps should we avoid. What styles should gravitate too. Love your content.

[@gregpendrey6711]

For a party or for our own enjoyment be sure to turn on the candles the torches and the nightscaping before daylight wanes. Set the music for the day. And like Lisa reminded me have your lighting level set with the lamp dimmers. Then, before there is any indication of sunset hit the Lutron wall switches that control the lamp outlets. Or better yet hit the master Lutron switch and the whole house goes into you can't leave we are just starting mode. Party planning 101. Oh, and don't serve the main course until everyone is just a little bit tipsy (appeteasers, pupus, etc. are OK. Lighting. Hey we grew eyes to see what earth looks like right. Right.

As far as I know, 5500∆ - 6000∆ is so-called "daylight", that is the healthiest for eyes. I use it in my home for general lighting (as indirect light, which means that the lamp itself is invisible. You do not actually even think that there is light, you do not see the difference if you switch on the light during the daytime, with the light from the window and in your space) and I could not take anything else. The light affect also your moods. Bad lighting can cause depression. The light is not only a visual thing, but it is also a health-thing as well. Of course, in addition, there can be decorative lights (like candles :) ) and other things you mention. But, 3000K is too dark for me. But: I live in the North, in Germany. It is so dark here especially in winters that I need light. I come from Finland where it is even darker, and longer time of the year.

[@LisaHoltDesign]

Yes, its true that ppl in northern climates need higher Kelvins than those of us in lower latitudes. Also, Eastern countries like Japan and China tend to like the cooler lights as well.

Buy timers for your plug-in light fixtures, especially for the ambient light you need during nightfall. It spares you a lot of running about flipping a multitude of switches. When something does go bump in the night at least it won't be you.

I recently just switched out some of my wall switches to dimmers and also using wifi tech to connect the majority of my lights via Alexa. It’s soooo nice to have timed lighting around the house as well as voice commands if you come in the door with full hands. It’s soooo inexpensive these days to control so much in the home via tech & automation. Wonder if you’d consider doing a “home design tech” type video too? Thanks for the wonderful & entertaining content😻

@@LisaHoltDesign Thanks for the sweet reply & I LOVE your energy! It’s half the reason I keep watching🔥 I love Newport! I’m originally from Long Beach but moved to Dad’s side of the family and mostly grew up in NOLA. Lived all over the country, but just had to make my way to the west coast (best coast😉) again in the past 5 years. Was in Long Beach again taking care of G’ma & Mom, and sadly they’ve both passed now, so I sold the family home & came up to beautiful Oregon. Believe it or not, there are many things I still miss about beautiful SoCal. Once you love it, I don’t ever think it changes, not even the traffic kills that love🤣💞Feel the same about New Orleans....wow you’d have some amazing properties to work on in that city!!!! My Dad was a contractor so I was lucky enough to go to some of his truly memorable projects on some of the Civil War era homes in the Garden District. An old adage, but true that they really don’t make homes like that anymore! Old homes are my favorite! I’ve literally never wanted to build from scratch. I love the character of an old home. The older, the better! Well, there’s my novella, so yeah😹💝🤡

Smart light bulbs, connected to an app allows you to program it. No need for special hardware. Thank u for the video!

[@LisaHoltDesign]

Great comment! So glad you brought that up!

[@ruth_ruth]

Very cool. I've only noticed these small things but it was so helpful to have these items spelled out.

[@mortgages_by_jason]

What type of lighting do you like for under cabinet over white quartzite? LED? Or? Thanks!

[@LisaHoltDesign]

I always recommend the LED strip lighting that has a three-way switch for three different kelvin levels so that your finishes under the counter work well with the rest of your kitchen being lit with ambient lighting. Thanks for watching! 🙂

@@LisaHoltDesign Thank you! Again, love your your work! Telling everyone about your channel!

[@teresacunningham7975]

I'm so impressed with your videos. They are well organized and incredibly informative. Really helpful!

[@vettacmful]

Hello, can you please make a video talking about types of lighting fixtures for an open floor plan? Example how to pick lights for the island, the dining room and the above lighting like flush mounted lighting. I am having a tough time on how to make it look cohesive in the space. So basically a video about lighting fixtures in your space and how to pick the right ones.

[@LisaHoltDesign]

Great request! I’ll add this to the list of videos to come!

[@vettacmful]

@@LisaHoltDesign THANK YOU!!!!

[@Leishasenter]

Yes I second this!!!!!

[@Ddaff]

Amazing video. Learned a lot! I like the tips to get dimmers and to layer 3 levels of light! Thanks

[@kyleguersey5004]

How do you pick the best decorative table lamp? If you have a transitional style living room for instance, do you go contemporary or traditional with the table lamp? Do you pick the color of your sofa (if its on a side table beside your sofa) or do you pick another color?

[@LisaHoltDesign]

I can answer questions and help over at my site in my site... dezignspace.com

[@ekcharland5594]

I love your videos! So fun and informative!! Where’s a good source for modern/contemporary lighting that won’t break the bank? Thanks a bunch!!

[@LisaHoltDesign]
