[@TruthIsNot4Sale]

What are the 5 L’s ? I’m so curious 🧐 plz do tell😁

[@suzieandersonhome]

@@TruthIsNot4Sale Hi there! They are the 5 styling principles / lessons I developed throughout my experience with interior styling / and designing retail spaces. They are the 5 elements that I believe every home and room should include. You can watch our full series here: kzbin.info/aero/PLMX1byvyaEQmBDTO6kzTGxd6C7dASqWd-

Wow. I probably watched today's video at least 3 times on my TV. I think I love this style. It is a little bit of everything that I love but can't put it into words or furthermore don't know yet how to achieve it . Thank you so much for such inspiration ❤❤❤❤

[@suzieandersonhome]

It was lovely to see you on the live premiere and so glad you loved this style!! xx

[@yourconnection9303]

Everything looks wonderful once again.👌 I thought window shutters were a thing of the past? I'm so glad to still see them in homes. I always felt they can work very well in the right room, with the right decor.

[@suzieandersonhome]

They can definitely work in the right room, I especially like them in contemporary coastal homes and relaxed country interiors xx

[@deborahdorosz3220]

Beautiful and insightful as always. Transitional style seems to incorporate many influences that could create a variety of different looks. Thanks for so much inspiration.

[@suzieandersonhome]

You are very right, it incorporates a range of influences, that allows you to curate it as you like, keeping in mind the balance of traditional and modern xx

[@brendanbang6636]

Thank you Susie for this style lesson.. I always love this antique meet contemporary. They reincarnated in so many names like modern organic or contemporary rustic but really it’s under this super category of transition style. With love and eager waiting for your upload. Your resources are so inspirational.

Thank you for the reflection Brendan, I am so glad you feel inspired and enjoyed this particular style. It is a merging of the best of both worlds! xx

[@godisall742]

So very beautiful. Thank you, Mrs. Anderson. I have always loved not only your visual content. Your voice is pleasant, as is the music, which makes your videos a feast for eyes and ears. And I trust you are passionately engaged in what you do beyond simple economic interests. Aesthetic solutions on your level enrich the soul. To me, an artist, this is the core message of each of your videos. Over and beyond you gave me many fruitful suggestions regarding the interior design of my home in the sunny Hungarian countryside. Thank you again, and all the best!

[@suzieandersonhome]

I really appreciate your kind words and so glad you find the visual content as well as the delivery enjoyable and pleasing for the senses. Wonderful to hear you are an artist too and hope you are enjoying a beautiful sunny day in the countryside! xx

Excellent.

[@bettyg7274]

This is my first visit to your page, and I am thrilled to Subscribe. Tonight, I finally discovered my style - Transitional. Answering the question of what my style is became difficult. I did not know, nor did I fit in anywhere. The favorites of recent years (chippy farmhouse furniture, MSM, Boho, Coastal, etc.) were not styles I would choose. What you so beautifully incorporated in the lovely photos and helpful styling tips gave me my answer. A transitional style fits me perfectly. Thank you!

[@suzieandersonhome]

Thank you very much for subscribing Betty! I am so happy the video provided clarity for your design style and I'm sure some new inspiration as well :) Have a wonderful week xx

[@mehitabel6564]

Thank you once again for an excellent video. I think this is my favourite style because it offers such flexibility and is scalable from the largest homes to the smallest apartment. I find a little goes a long way - for example I've added subtle nods to chinoiserie in a transitional style bedroom and it feels contemporary, not a pastiche.

[@suzieandersonhome]

That is a great point - it can be applied in various environments and it is the overall cohesiveness of all the elements that make it stand out xx

[@SharonMarley-nd9hv]

Thank you @suzieandersonhome for bringing clarity to Transitional Design with this comprehensive style guide. Its sustainable & super that we can incorporate the new without displacing the old. Go raibh maith agat/Irish thank you ❤

[@suzieandersonhome]

Hi Ronnel, what is your preferred interior design style? x

[@karenwallace3297]

Suzie, I have Ethan Allen Georgian Court coffee table, sofa table and end tables-should I replace them or have them lightened? Your expertise would be much appreciated.

[@suzieandersonhome]

Hi Karen, thank you for your question. It is difficult for me to provide individual advice through KZbin, especially because choices need to be made within the context of the room, your design style, and preferences. I hope some of our videos or style quiz can help xx

[@stevemitchell7839]

Suzie, I really enjoy your videos and am learning a lot about interior design (and all the mistakes I have made in the past!). I would be interested in any video you might do for lake homes. Interior decorating on a lake home seems to have unique challenges, because with the lake view, it tends to dominate and take focus away from the interior space, ie more light, view windows and less wall space, etc.. I liked your chalets video and would like to see the same type of video with tips on tastefully decorating different types of lake homes.

[@suzieandersonhome]

Hi Steve, thank you for the kind words. That is a great question and I will add the focus of lake homes to our list of video recommendations. Do you find the interiors and view sometimes compete with each other?

[@stevemitchell7839]

@@suzieandersonhome Exactly, and there can be a lot of glare from the view windows at certain times of day, and ongoing foot traffic into the home from beach or deck in summer. Fall is quieter and lake has a very quiet mood.

How do I get those chairs at 0.24, they are lovely

My problem is my great room is not symmetrical! I have 2 beautiful, new custom made white sofas. One of the walls has a window that is way off center where one of the sofas will have to sit! It’s driving me nuts. It’s open concept with the breakfast area and kitchen with 18 ft high ceilings . The fireplace isn’t even centered but I have been able to work wit that.None of the walls are the same width! This is a home recently purchased that we’re remodeling. It’s all angles ! I need suggestions desperately!

[@suzieandersonhome]

Hi Brenda, sounds like a creative challenge! Offering specific suggestions to your room dimensions and home is not something we offer on KZbin. I definitely recommend reaching out to a local interior designer or stylist for that personalised support. xx

[@kimberlyg9867]

I just LOVE your videos, so inspiring! However, I have wanted to say, for a while now, that it is very difficult to read your printed words. The time you a lot for people to read your add on is just too short. Thank-you for being on KZbin.

[@suzieandersonhome]

Hi Kimberly, thank you very much for the useful feedback! I wasn't sure whether I should show it longer, or if it is better to pause and read if desired but I will keep this in mind moving forward xx

[@betterlivingonabudget]

I like all the stylings shown in this video but the name of the look is unfortunate - I wouldn't use it.

[@suzieandersonhome]

You don't need a giant expensive house to create a home xx

[@Nickelini]

All the pictures in this video are lovely. All in fashion. But the term "transitional" is the most BS term in interior design I've ever heard. I had a 20+ year career in business communication, so I'm particular about language. I also studied interior design 20 years ago. But then I moved into a Craftsman house and went down that road. Now that I've come back to the interior design world, I'm trying to not grate my teeth over the ridiculous term "transitional style" and just go with the new flow. After 18 months of gritting my teeth, yes, Suzie, you've shown that the term "Transitional" is as vacuous as my initial reaction. It's just "what's in style". It's not an actual thing. It's not Art Deco, Mid-Century Modern, French Country. It's just "what's in the big name stores. Yes, you capture the current style beautifully

[@suzieandersonhome]

Hi Niceklini, I honestly can't tell if this is intended to be a mean comment or a supportive one. Sorry to hear you are negatively impacted by the word transitional. In this context, my intention was to show the balance of traditional and contemporary elements. Have a lovely weekend x

[@Nickelini]

@@suzieandersonhome I’m sorry it did come off a bit harsh. I love all your videos and everything here is very pretty. But I still can’t stand the term “transitional” ;-)
