[@mariamangion21]

Happy Sunday!

[@MelissaLynn69]

beautiful, the best!

[@melissadelaluna246]

We moved in last year December, and the walls were like pancake yellow. . I'm so happy with my accomplishment this month I changed and painted the walls pewter grey, and white for the trims ( I learned that from you ) I love it., There's more light, and the space looks more cozzy and spacious! I changed the kitchen cabinets paint as well from deep brown, to pearl white 🤍 😍 I put waterproof oil proof contact paper over kitchen tiles and It lookssss so amazing with all this little changes, ❣️ it so cozy here now it's really calm, minimalist. I learned all the idea watching you.

HAPPY SUNDAY ❤!!!

Better be careful, Kristen. Your guests will never want to leave. Lol. That beautiful, comfortable bed is amazing. I love your videos. You have so much great decorating advise. I get so excited when you give ideas Im already doing. And, I also love the sage greens and I love my pieces of brass.

[@mariawilliams1314]

You are always so good at not just giving the ideas but showing them as well. Thanks for the advice and by the way your home looks beautiful for the holidays! Merry Christmas to you and your family! 😊❤😊🎄

By the way, the lamps really bring down the anxiety level. I have been doing it for sometime now and it works to make my home cozy and calm. Thank you Kristin ❤.

A basket by the front door for 👞👟!! What a wonderful idea and looks classy! Thank you so much Kristen! You've inspired me through all your videos. It really changed the way I see my house and motivated me to give it a good change!

I wish my front porch could be cute, but the 3 feral cats that have adopted me and my porch say otherwise lol. Ugggh

[@j-ru5527]

Kristen, your voice is so calming and therapeutic! Your ideas are always bomb! Love your front porch and all of your interior spaces!

[@nancykintner9177]

Lamps are the best....I am not a fan of the ceiling lights, but I must admit on a bleak dark day the are useful.

[@Clevast]

A cozy, clean and healthy home.

[@jasmineb5697]

Great tip as usual Kristen. I have a queen bed and use king size comforters or duvets. Love when they hang off making the bed look full and comfy ❤️❤️ the tip of spray the surface with the same candle smell is great idea I usually get the those tiny sprays from BBW.

[@Lwah0812]

Wh have a king so it’s rare to find a nice size comforter, everything is short 😢

[@Sophia8983]

Great ideas. Thank you.

[@biggertom1234]

Kirsten I just adore your styling and colour palettes soft natural creamy warm inviting always do fresh and uplifting ...gentle. your sensible tips are so intelligent with thrifting as an important part of your design ideas....how wonderful completely refreshing all the time. Many thanks for sharing with us out here and so looking forward to more of your home decorating lifestyle tips ❤😊

Can’t wait to watch one of my favorite KZbinrs ❤

[@ella8874]

Amazing! I always love your videos and tips 😄👍

[@MyFocusVaries]

I love the remote control candles. Thanks for the tip. Point and click instead of going around and turning on 20 little switches. I use my candles so much more. (Good to see you both taking the mattress up the stairs, after the hairy stories on your vlog about you or Chris single handedly carrying massive burdens up stairs!! ;)

[@darlamyers6106]

Would love to know where you got some of these things like the candles that are remote control. And the flickering outside solar lanterns. Links to these would make it way easier to find them when you fall in love with something that you are showing

[@MyFocusVaries]

@@darlamyers6106 I looked on eBay. Searched remote control candles.

[@SJ-ev6by]

Love your home-it’s beautiful and cozy. I will try the lamps idea!

[@rebeccarendle3706]

In winter, I've been using double duvet on my bed for 20+ yrs..I a like cold bedroom but warm under the covers. In Europe we love ambient lighting.

[@leond887]

Nice video,The basket for the shoes will be great for my Daughter's place,Thanks you.

[@samtakhandhia1012]

Great vlog Kristen. We recently got some lamps for our living room and we had the plugs converted so they can be switched on at the wall. The room feels instantly cosy with the lamps on. We rarely use the ceiling spots now. We also have purchased two rugs for the same room and they also make the room feel more warm. Would also recommend a beautiful throw for the spare bed. It will also help to keep dust off the duvet and sheets when the bed isn’t being used.

[@keikimorgan9360]

You have done an amazing job on your new home, so proud of you!

[@Bodangers]

I took alot of Kristen's advice and now my room boosts my mood 🥰

Great ideas, thank you. Can't bring myself to use battery candles though because they ultimately poison the soil and ground water.

[@youbetcha108]

I love plaid and I’m sad to see it go after winter. So I leave it out. It’s green and black and I dress it up with solid bedding. It keeps the room cozy at night especially. Like your ideas! Nice job!

Hi Kristin, I love your idea of hiding away the shoes in a basket! The tiled floors here are colder on rainy days and we, the people at home use indoor fluffy shoes. I can't think of ways to hide those shoes when not in use. Now I know! 😂 Thank you ❤

I have a similar basket under my bedside table where I keep my slippers, a pair of slipper socks to use if I feel really cold, and two pairs of everyday shoes. I need to do the front hall thing as well.

[@rebeccalitardo6250]

@@catherinemoon3003 thank you for sharing. Very useful as well.

[@sitcomchristian6886]

I prefer a hanging shoe organizer on the inside of my coat closet. That way the shoes aren't piled on top of each other, making each other dirty and smelly.

[@rebeccalitardo6250]

@@sitcomchristian6886 this would be a great solution unfortunately our house does not have a coat closet.

OmG those artificial candles have blown my mind. I can't believe how realistic they are. Right now I think they would come in handy in my living room since we are trying to find new ways to make it "cozier". We just got a Togo sofa from Manhattan Home Design and want to redo the lighting design. Thanks so much for the tips! It's all amazing.

[@lisajane4330]

Great tips - & you've sold me on the lamps, have to get some.

[@douglasflatley1178]

IMO, unless space absolutely demands it, a full size bed is too small for a guest room. At 6'1" tall my feet hang off the end. In our new place we opted for a king in the guest room as space allows and it's a hit!

I love your videos. I’m always looking for ways to make my house cozy but not cluttered. I’m gonna use the doormat idea for the front door. I do have a place for my mail and keys and such. My question is how do you train your family to comply? My hubby & teen/adult kids tend to leave things where they fall.
