Tammie Printup Thats actually not true and I personally take offense to your statement. He has always been this way from day one even before her channel got big. He always supported her and enjoyed all her projects as much as we did. Did you see how excited he was when she picked up her chair from world market? That’s genuine love and support that money can’t buy. If you’re new to her channel it would serve you well to watch some of her older videos. For some reason your comment almost made me cry. It stung. Smh.

Love your aesthetic! I can relate very much with you’re minimalist style of white and clean and airy as my home is much the same. One thing I noticed from your dining room vid and this one is there seems to be some wallistis happening .. everything seems to be pushed up against all the walls. I can understand when there’s minimal options for furniture layout but floating furniture away fr walls would make it seem more put together and a little more warm. Also rug placement is key here .. try rotating and if you can place the front legs of sofa on rug to anchor your furniture and define that area if not just rotating it should be fine as right now rug just floating out there. I’m not trying to be rude at all .. these are simply just suggestions and I’m a firm believer in to each their own. As always love your vibe ❤️
