Hello everyone! I hope you are well and it is good to be back. Today's video is on decorating with dark woods and traditional furniture. I call this style 'Refreshed Heritage' as it offers an opportunity to refresh and re-envision how we can decorate with brown wooden furniture across a variety of design styles. I hope you find these tips helpful! xx

Despite trends, nothing comes close to the richness of quality wood furniture.

This was so classy, and did not attempt to devalue inherited beautiful family heirlooms. Such things are irreplaceable, and thank you for honouring the true "sustainability" of things that are timeless and classic and classy if given the inspiration of a trained beautiful "eye" for how such Grand Ladies, and Gentlemen of the olde dark wood should be "dressed" to make us all smile, rather than groan. I loved every one of these tips, and particularly your identification of the temperature/undertone hints which enable accents to be used to blend with other timbers in the room.
Thank you so much. This was the answer to my prayers for help ! GOD Bless ya heart.

Perfection. The Rolls Royce of interior design. Bravo Suzie. Do you have a Master’s degree? Never any flaws in your elegant speaking style.

I enjoy all of your videos, and this especially. Aside from the educational content, the music, your soothing voice, and the choices of photos is so relaxing to experience. Almost meditative. In a fast paced world, I feel that your method of delivery is so needed. Almost like sitting down with a friend and a pot of tea.

I couldn't bring myself to paint over such beautiful furniture unless it was damaged. Love the content of this video, it inspired me to be more creative around these tones. Thank you🙏

I love dark furniture. I have gone back to it. I love wood. Totally enjoyed this one. Beautiful furnishings and decor. Thank you, I know it was a lot of work to put together for us. Peace!

I weep for the woods ruined by instagram and youtube trends. The only basis for them being painted is the fear of the paintbrush wielder being seen to own anything vaguely yellow, orange or warm toned!!!! I hope Lonefox has the courage to bring warm into vogue. Praying for the antiques!!!!

This Episode is perfect. I guess natural wood delivers to me the welcoming sensation in every room.

[susananders]

Thank you so much! I don't know how I missed this originally. It is so helpful and inspiring!

[livinggood]

I love this style. The color palette is what I used in my apartment. It's very airy yet grounded by the browns. Thank you for this video.

I am so happy to see fine furniture featured here. I inherited and have purchased only fine hardwood furniture for my home. It looks fresh on the right surroundings and complimentary fabrics.

[ThatsJustPeachy]

I am madly in love with this channel!!!! Every video is perfection 🥰❤️

[lisaf]

Wow absolutely gorgeous! The dark bedroom is something I would love.

[herekittykittykitty]

Again, gorgeous photography! Your videos never disappoint!

[marthahoffmann]

Hi Suzie, so many beautiful things and ideas in this video. I have Georgian style so now I can start mixing a bit more to elevate the look of my rooms. Haven't seen burl that much lately but I do enjoy the pieces you show in this video. My grandma had this type of wood in her bedroom. As a child a was fascinated by the color and its grain. Thank you !!

[jbowenandcompany]

Thanks for sharing! I have a lot of brown furniture that I have had for many years that I love. Lots of new great ideas.

[virginiawomack]

There’s nothing more elegant and organic than the beauty of natural wood and I will never understand painting over it. Save the paint for cheap fake wood or pieces where the wood is damaged. Such a waste of a dwindling commodity.

[jerrifreeman]

This is such a helpful video for giving my traditional style rooms a freshened up look. Thank you

[lorenemccormick]

Thank you for this beautiful video! I love your suggestion to blend painted pieces with dark wood furniture!!!🌷
