That bare wall could be turned into a gallery wall, or floating shelves with pots of herbs since it’s so close to a he kitchen or maybe another mirror, possibly round this time. Mirrors bounce light around a room and since your living room mirror is facing your sofa it won’t feel like too many mirrors. I live to rearrange my things, it makes me feel like I have new pieces sometimes. Thanks for sharing

Yes I was thinking gallery wall initially but I have the gallery wall directly across it in the dinette so a mirror was my next thought!

Consider placing the mirror next to the window and having the plant in front. You can then move the artwork that is there to the blank wall and add other pieces! ❣️

It’s too crowded in the living-room and yes please leave the blank wall because it’s too much going on .

Hello Kirsten, I think the glass vase by itself on the table looks good .The outfit with your bag went well together and the bag was really stylish. NYC is famous for Its Pizza and that pizza looked yummy. That is a good idea to wallpaper that blank wall by the Kitchen, my Landlord won't allow anything like that, we can only hang Canvas Art. Enjoyed the video and Can't wait to see your choice of wallpaper. Stay Safe.

Hi Kirsten! Another great vlogg! Love the way u decorate. That was a smart move putting the stool in the corner where ur mirror is at. Just a suggestion, how about purchasing a large letter K (Kirsten) and hanging it on the blank wall. 😊 Good luck!😍

@Veronicapenteck 6 ай бұрын

My advice would be switch the sofa where the tv is . Or behind the heater so you get more space, right now it looks to narrow !

You're inspiring I actually started back today exercising was hard getting started but I felt so amazing afterwards now I'm feeling motivated I have the same curl pattern as you I use Olaplex dry shampoo I love it doesn't leave a residue I use a scalp tea tree spray I wash my hair once a week I just hate all the shedding in shower I detangle my hair prior still sheds a lot in shower hair everywhere which I hate it's a choir for me try scalp rinses there's several some with apple cider, tea tree oil, rosemary oil etc they refresh scalp just rinse or some you just massage in😊

Refresh hair by listing with rose water and eucalyptus rose water hydrates and refreshes and eucalyptus oil is antibacterial. Do this before you shower or a few hours before you go out to avoid smelling ‘herbal’. Once your bodies moisturised and your fragrance is on you won’t smell eucalyptus and your hair will look great.

I think that the wallpaper is a great idea for the bare wall. I was going to suggest that or paint it over with a nice mellow color. You could also put a small tapestry there as well something simple that will liven up your space!

Yes! All great ideas

@ChrisW228 6 ай бұрын

I don’t care for the mirror in the corner. Next to the TV, the flat surfaces are just too “stacked”. “Weird,” as you said. I also think your surfaces are starting to look a little cluttered compared to your usual style. It’s still gorgeous and 100x nicer than my home, but just more than I’m used to seeing in yours.

That vase should be gold. It would brighten your space and make it look lux because the grey vase looks depressing and sad. With a neutral background like yours it would be good to brighten it up with accent color or bright metals. Another idea is to use white. Grey use to be in a year or more ago but it's just so dull that it's depressing unless there are other colors around it. That brown pillow you have on the couch is not looking so great. Maybe a different color. Use the large mirror to reflect and make it look bigger in there by angling it or make it so it reflects outdoor light.

Kirsten, your place looks great! However, l think the mirror should lay on the wall by the window and put the floor lamp center to the wall by the t.v. either side!

Your hair is so beautiful I was just wondering why you wash it so much because with your type of hair it may not be necessary unless there is dandruff or something. I would suggest you check KZbin for some ideas. Me personally I would straighten it out and wear a cute ponytail style. Unfortunately that takes a little extra time and you seem so comfortable with the curls. Either way you still have a beautiful head of hair to work with.😊

@kirsten-ashley 6 ай бұрын

Thank you, I wash it so much due to my consistent workout routine - same reason I don't straighten it often (it would get frizzy and curl up within an hour of me exercising). But yes I do love my curls and it took me a long time to get to that so I'm happy to rock them ❤️

@carlenemcdonald9625 6 ай бұрын

the mirror in the corner reflects nothing and doesn't make the space look any bigger.....and the view looking at it from the kitchen looked weird.

@cb4664 5 ай бұрын

No offense but great designers know you need negative space (blank wall or space not filled with anything) or your house looks cluttered. Not every inch needs to have something on it. And keep the knick knacks (decorative objects) to a minimum. They just end up being dust collectors. I would remove that lamp, that stool and that coffee table and the stuff on it. It’s just too much. You can’t even use the coffee table honestly because it’s covered with stuff.

Don't waste the mirror by not seeing it from the whole room Angle it to reflect and make it look bigger in there. You can buy a flat large mirror for the space beside the fridge too. I can't stand your grey vase and bowl. Yuck but I still luv yah girl.
