This video made me realise the disconnect between my self esteem and what I deserve in my home. When we were getting a new bed my ex said how about a king size. I didn’t realise I deserved one and that they were for posh people (back in the late 90s). Same with getting a new car over a 2nd hand as I’d always grown up with oldies. I’ve worked on my self esteem and now unapologetically working on making a budget friendly classy home for myself and don’t have to compromise with anyone! ❤

My problem is that I love so many different styles. Can you include an episode of marrying different styles and art. For example I like pop art like Bansky but I also like art that can be in contrast like Afrocentric or Van Gogh. I have an assortment. My style is bit traditional mostly contemporary with a nod to mid century. How do I make it all harmonious but not feel like a museum. Love you and the family and Jack is so sweet and funny.❤

I've always bought and loved burgundy and deep, dark colors but not in a Gothic way - more in an accent way. Furs and velvets and wool are all the fabrics and looks I associate with Ralph Lauren. Especially in the 1990s and early 2000s there were such beautiful rooms he did with these colors and fabrics. He also was the first designer I saw that wasn't afraid to incorporate a chrome lamp or something very modern with chunky wood furniture or a small horse sculpture or something more "country" or rustic, which I thought was brilliant and something I've done ever since. As you know, he uses leopard and zebra as well. The first time I walked into the RL store in NYC I just never wanted to leave! My friend I was traveling with wanted to go see this or that touristy thing and I was like - uh...no... I'll just stay here at RL 😂 I'm betting you can relate! I don't own as many RL items as I'd like, but one of my favorite items is a pair of large euro shams (28x28) I have from the late 1990s. It may not sound exciting but these are done in a burgundy thick, stiff velvet with a double grosgrain border flange. OMG!!!! They are of unbelievable quality and I have taken very good care of them. They are perfect for Autumn or the holidays and they are one of my favorite home decor finds ever. ❤ Regardless, I'm happy to see this style again. I was never much for ultra modern or minimalistic, or lighter farmhousy decor. It's funny that in my relationships I despise drama, yet if this style is considered dramatic then I say, bring it on!

Basically. It’s dark glam instead of silver or gold as the main element. Now black and red are the main colors. I’m waiting for Exotica’s return! 🤩 I’ve already done a dark Exotica room in my house, with Black Sapphire walls, trim and ceiling and Tanzanite on the window walls. White rugs. Big mirrored elements to reflect the light and exotic accessories to finish the space. It’s a tiny room, too!

When I saw ‘Out of Africa’ and ‘Brideshead Revisited’ in the 1980’s I definitely had a Decorating Epiphany. My style has been a combination of Laura Ashley, English Country, and Traditional, though I like how the French mix in one or modern pieces to add light and energy to their rooms. Not into a lot of clutter anymore-too difficult to clean around all the stuff!

I was thinking the other day if everything in your home is a feature piece as I feel it is. I think I was getting them mixed up with the focal point concept where there should be one main focal point and then maybe a lesser one and maybe a lesser one than that. In patchwork I often use an ugly fabric that will make the feature patch shine and it works well and I was thinking that might transfer over to decor however I couldn’t think of a piece in your home that you didn’t love. Today when I saw your video I realised that what I was getting confused on was the main character energy where everyone plays together well and unique in their own way. Paring back and being intentional with colour, decor, layout and furniture is the key. 😊
