You've got spammers in comment section :( Great ideas..thank you

[@ely.d2236]

Hello from Italy 🇮🇹 you’re so amazing ❤

[@T80446]

Plz make a video on small kitchen that have pantry , crockery cabinet and gadgets as well

[@dionnew7994]

Hi Kristen Thanks for your reply. Is this where I am supposed to text my acknowledgement? If not, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do 🤷‍♀️

[@joanorla]

There are so many Interior Design videos on KZbin but yours are my favorite. I love your ideas. You are truly an inspiration.

[@Daffodils2Daisies]

I call those small unique touches like the toothpick holder, candle cutter, "romancing the ordinary." I heard that term once and I love it.

[@beep-beepwatermelon4203]

I love how you just spill the beans and break it down for those of us that love good design and want to know what makes it ❤

[@beekeythree]

Hi Kristen, I have been following your videos for quite a while now and you have drastically changed my life, not only am I redoing the whole house, redecorating it completely but I have also adopted all your organizational and cleaning tips. Thank you so very much!!!!

[@deannachapman5411]

I think the bench behind the couch will be the greatest addition to my home as it backs onto the dining area

[@sanvikabestwishe17]

Kindly make a video on how to utilise the balcony or open terrace of appartment or condos

[@dewittbeaucater]

Pearls on a Christmas table setting - luving!

[@LB-ku6ry]

Wow. I have been binge watching your channel! You popped up in my feed yesterday. I have learned more about decorating from you in 1 1/2 days than in my 60 years . I grateful! Thank you!!!!!

[@avedurham]

I absolutely love the tip to design the exposed back of the couch with a bench, console, or throw blanket. Lovely idea, thank you!

[@Desertmermaid52]

That closet you turned into a bar area is just so amazing looking! I watched the whole video on that project and I was just really impressed!❤

[@katkat5420]

That was the best of the video. It was all good, but I never would have thought to make a bar in a closet. Gorgeous

[@jorys.5578]

The seating or long table on the back of the sofa is genius! I will definitely be doing this😊

[@aimeevargas4016]

I immediately applied the throw blanket on the back of my couch. And the rest were confirmation about what I think is missing around my home. Thanks!

[@ThePixidust333]

I wish you did a video of timeless style, timeless pieces. It’s unaffordable to keep hunting “trendy” it’s in for a month and then out the next. I stopped doing it with clothes and I’m not doing it with household. But I do enjoy your ideas.

[@Sunflowers_and_sunshine]

Love the gold cutlery ... Don't listen to haters 🙄 it looks fabulous ❤️👏

[@danicejohnson6901]

Great tips on selling your home and the paint colors suggestions were the most impactful, thank you!

[@annmyers2883]

Hi Kristen, Thank you for answering my question about the sideboard. I watched your video about the bedrm/deck. I am getting the one you got for your husband's things. You are the best. Enjoy all the beauty you are creating for you, your husband and family. I found you at the right time. I am redoing alot of things also.

[@dianejohnson7235]

I already reorganized my closet with matching hangers!!!!! It makes such a difference!!!

[@ArtfulMeditaions]

Love the paint colour’s tip!

[@valeries1251]

Hi Kristen just requesting a video idea. How do you recommend we decorate those tiny closet bathrooms in master bedrooms? Any tips would be amazing thanks!

[@MayaKarampalasi]

Kristen, every single video of yours it's just so full of information 😍

[@stillwithyou7072]

I just found you by accident (thank you YT algorithm). Such a great video and I love your idea and especially the trays and changing your space to what suits you best. My biggest challenge is choosing something I’m sure I’ll like for a long time.

[@stephaniebarrett8057]

Hi Kristen! I had so much fun tonight at Homesense! I thought about you the entire time I was choosing some really affordable decorating trinkets! Love your taste and constant fresh ideas!

[@ElainePetrakisMidnightCrafter]

You are a joy to watch and have great ideas. I can see why you've had so much success!!

[@ediamondsounds]

I have to have our living room painted and I’m leaning toward white or with just a blue-grey hint. I need brighter in my house as we updated the exterior and started interior. After I have surgery, we’re next onto the main bathroom and bedroom wall closets and then the wall is coming down between the kitchen and living room woot! Great tips!!

[@delphafatimamedina4078]

I just came across your video and I love love your thinking! We just moved in to a new home with very little storage space and no built ins and I was starting to use some of your ideas before I went to KZbin! And now, you’ve given me fresh ideas. I’ve subscribed for all notifications!

[@checkinwithchinajessegonza7759]

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I am grateful for Kristen who has helped me make my home a little brighter on a budget.

[@KristenMcGowan]

As I’m so so glad!❤️ I’m thankful for you !!

[@MyFocusVaries]

You always have great tips. That gold cutlery is so pretty. Our house had a big closet by the back door, which isn't our main entry. We converted it to a mini office for our main computer. It's a much better use of the space!

[@SJ-ev6by]

Lots of good ideas-the best for me were the trays. Love these videos!

[@ZenobiaBeckley]

Love light colors

[@hopesprings4967]

I love your content! Your so relatable! Your tips are practical and effective. Thanks for all the cool ideas.

[@m.georgieva6239]

I love natural colours 😍

[@meishawelcome8584]

I Love the option of the drink table. I have one and like u said it’s like adding a piece of jewelry. Love it.

[@mariamangion21]

You can’t imagine how happy I am when I watch your videos 🥹You’re such a positive influence and your videos are super cozy & calming! I don’t even know you personally but just based off your videos, I feel like you would be such a great friend and we would get along ❤️‍🩹

[@SniKenna]

Yes! ❤

[@louisadredge571]

I just placed my throw over the back of our sofa. Winning! 😁 Looks soo much better. Thankyou🙂

[@rmbrugge]

Great video and ideas I really like the concept of not necessarily using a space for its original purpose but rather modifying it to your needs.

[@zareenapakermohd5194]

Thanks for sharing! Very valuable tips and great2x pics👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@beverlytaylor1745]

The muted toned paint is more expensive looking than the brightly colored paints. Thank you for another great video.

[@simplystaceycraftsbakingan5913]

Great tips! I like how you mentioned to make the space to fit your lifestyle. I have a desk in my kitchen I don’t use. I think a big pantry would be a better use of the space. Thanks for giving me the push!

[@siddharthr1853]

Will you give personalized design recommendations?

[@amandaborski2444]

Never clicked so fast! Love all your videos

[@fonluv4ever]

My favorite was the drink table. Can you please link the one you have in your living room please 🙏🏼 😊

[@Sunflowers_and_sunshine]

What's a good grey color dark and light thanks 🙏❤️

[@tonibaena7046]

I do love your ideas Kristen, always so wise! 😉👏😘🎄💜

[@_zagenta]

I love your designing tips! A tray in every room idea worked the best for me. I've used wooden boards as trays in the kitchen and even a lot of ceramic trays. Thx 4 the tips.

[@_zagenta]

Thank you so much 🥰

[@sav3333]

I appreciate your ideas and esthetics. I’ve been wanting to change my small coat closet next to my garage door to an open mud room closet. I would love it if you will make it one of your make-over video.

[@mompreneurlife]

❤ Great hacks! You’ve got the talent for interior design. ❤

[@agnieszkan5794]

What is the name of the website to buy the rock ? Shenan?

[@laurac50]

Can you please make a video on the best paint colors BY NAME for the walls? Like colors you may have used in the past? I'm under contract for a home and the first thing I want to do is paint the walls but I'd love some advice on best whites and trim colors, etc.. Thank you! 0:36

[@loislane4421]

Such a great channel with helpful tips.

[@annettecostello6501]

Can you talk about choosing a wall paint color for stained wood trim?

[@iammarcnixon]

When I say I gained SOOO MUCH from this video!! Thank u thank u!!

[@LorindaL]

Another great video with wonderful suggestions. Thank you and keep them coming 😊

[@isabelcalles9909]

I love all your DIY and budget friendly projects. I like displaying family pics but not sure how to go about it. Right now they're kinda scattered all over. Do I dedicate a wall or a table to this.

[@fransirahome]

Love the tips : bench/console for the back of the sofa and the drink table.

[@ediamondsounds]

I love the napkins too everything is so pretty

[@kellit3138]

I am so happy that I ran into your post! I love each and every one of them! I have 1 question about placing something behind the sofas. I have reclining chairs. How can I solve that situation?

[@gimmeproof]

I so appreciate the change to the way you speak (less like someone too young to know better) with the big air gasps and throat purrs. This is more adult and less offputting.

[@Reem-uq8iw]

Thank you so much 💙

[@davinahagan8159]

Thank you, super great video! Even the smallest ideas make for big impact. :)

[@annwatson2164]

I took your advice and updated my pain color..lovely

[@lauriehardie3308]

Love the trays. I’m a clutter bug always ‘stuff’ on surfaces. Would love tips to minimize this!

[@laurend.tamayo2186]

Real wood furniture in rich wood tones is rich looking. Beautiful pillows, and accessories are rich looking. Beautiful art and classic rugs are rich looking.

[@vaderladyl]

Yes I love the look of real wood tones. That is luxury for me.

[@melissajeoux483]

I love your ideas!!! Always look forward to your videos. I would love to see a video on furniture placement for large rooms. I have a very large living room with a fireplace and patio doors.. I just cannot decide on furniture place and so I’ve got it all against the walls. Thanks for all of your thoughtful content! Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃🍁🥧

[@juliemarkham4332]

Muted colors instead of bright colors was my favorite suggestion.

[@suezientek6427]

Thank you for all of the great tips. I have a question about refinishing orangey oak floors. I like the idea of the lighter neutral stain or wash, however, what colour would work best if you don't want to change the oak accents (stair banister, fire place surround and kitchen cabinits? Thank you.

[@shenicusm5565]

Hiii Kristen... I can't find the drink table link😮‍💨 I love it, it's awesome

[@traceygartrell3419]

Thank you for your inspiration

[@DittrichWarrington]

Its really nice!

[@zenakassab5455]

Love all your recommendations!

[@SazimAlmamun-w2g]

This is really nice.

[@dionnew7994]

1st. The drink table! Didn't even know it was called that but I need one in my life 😁 2nd. I'd say the trays. I have 4 in my house. 2 are in my dining room + I love em. I actually made 3 of the 4 using 8x10 or larger picture frames + added feet to them, inserted decorative paper or picture to display and did a dirty pour over the other one. I'll probably make the next one for the bathroom. Love the moody colors too 😉

[@lorikegley3327]

Gorgeous!

[@nikkic0509]

Thanks for all the advice. I need all the help I can get, and I will check out the website you mentioned.

[@eccreedon]

Hey Kristen - any reccos for how to style the exposed back of a 3-seat couch that reclines on both ends? Thanks!

[@cucamaliqi9621]

I have the same question. Hope she replies! 🤞

[@shugo7337]

@@cucamaliqi9621 Same question here but with a reclining sectional that has 2 pieces that recline next to each other. I suspect there isn't much to do for those though, and that she'd say reclining couches aren't stylish. They're super comfy though, so at least we have that

[@lastakocjancic8677]

Thank you

[@carolyngrotaers4454]

Fabulous video Kristen. I enjoyed all tips.😀

[@betsyhada2936]

That isn’t actually a toothpick holder. It’s an etui - a needle holder for holding hand sewing needles. I have them in three different woods, depending on what types and sizes of needles are in each one.

[@davidjones9146]

Love this! Where did you find the black and white stripe napkins and the black and white plaid napkins? Thank you

[@msan4278]

Thank you again Kristen for the amazing tips!! Happy Thanksgiving!

[@SankethRao]

You blow my mind, really!

[@brack0609]

Love these tips! Heard some new ones.

[@ediamondsounds]

Happy Thanksgiving. I will be redecorating my apartment in New York City. We have great views and I’m very proud of this wonderful city. Thank you for your videos and suggestions.

[@angelasmith257]

Great pointers👍🏻

[@snorlund1]

Great tips, Kristen! Thanks! 😊

[@lomalo2702]

I love your style Kristen. Moving to a new beautiful home but could really use some style advice and inspiration. Can you do this online?

[@Kris7245]

May I ask what paint color is on the wall behind you? I always love this color when I see your videos! Thanks.

[@katm41]

Great ideas 💡 thank you

[@boayoon8715]

Kristen you are absolutely gorgeous ❤ thanks for the tips as well as the eye candy 🍭!
