You should do a video on what to do if you are starting on a completely clean slate; I think that would be helpful for a lot of people coming out of college and beginning to move out on their own. I find that your videos are amazing and inspire so much and provide so much knowledge for many of us amateur interior designers😊. Your energy is wonderful, and your passion shines throughout every video!

That would be fun. Definitely something I have a bit of trouble with is the planning process that you need to do when starting off. Like, how do you plan what you want without knowing when you can afford things, or when buying options change so frequently?

@@SLorraineE I just purchased a home last year and I would say sitting in the space for some time is what helped me. I looked up a bunch of things and kept an album of all of the things I liked. When I moved in, I changed my mind about a lot of things. I recommend taking your time and buy what you love!! Decorating your space to fit your personality will take time. I've been in my home and not one room is 100% complete, but im happy with what I have done so far.. Don't rush and don't settle! Also, use after pay (rugs are expensive 😂)!!! Fb marketplace is a great resource for tables and chairs. Don't buy a bunch of cute useless things. Functionality is key and if it's cute, that's a plus!! Hope this helps you in some way. Good luck!

I love that you love ikea as a designer. I've always loved it and as I've become more interested in interior design, I've watched a lot of youtubers and some hate on ikea. I feel like my home does not look like an Ikea show room but I sure have a lot of pieces from there. It's about putting your own spin on things and layering in pieces that make it unique. Antiques, vintage, hand made, and modern items mixed in really make it feel like a home and not ikea. I live in Canada and affordable home stores, at least where I am, are few and far in between. I've got Home Sense and Ikea pretty much. Sometimes I envy the states for having Target and more but I also enjoy the challenge as it forces me to think outside the box.

I am going with charcoal grays & creamy beige/off whites for my new house. It was a new build spec home, so I didn't get to choose anything at all/ my upgrades. I got what I got. I don't like everything so am changing things up a little bit. My house is now a little more than 1 year old. I am trying a rustic luxury/desert modern vibe. There is a little bit of farmhouse in here too, but never any signs! Not too farmhouse! It is so hard for me to make my purchase decisions, selecting my kitchen backsplash, new wall colors, new furniture, etc. My backyard landscaping at least was easy enough! I am not buying much yer until I am sure of what I want, but have done a few things........

IKEA really does inspire creativity - bc of the prices, I find myself thinking, "How can I make this work with something from IKEA??" It's all in the styling! 💫 Those Jubla chandelier candles are my favorites too - I prefer that shape over a taper, and the price can't be beat! Random favorite is the Lurvig Pouffe pet bed - it's like one of those "calming" beds (tho my pets practically fight over it), but it's not that shaggy fabric that looks beat up after a while. Awesome for anyone with cats or little dogs! Xo
