Totally agree on the quotes / big words on the wall. Never understood how people like that look ! 💁🏻‍♀️😁

I never liked vertical blinds even when they were in style.

The single best thing I did was remove the carpet. No going back. Love a nice area rug.

[julesybethmedlini]

I’m definitely keeping the mirrored closet doors. Useful! They aren’t framed in gold and they don’t cover the entire wall.

Please know that removing ceiling texture is both extremely messy and can be dangerous if an older home as it most likely contains asbestos.

I replaced all my appliances with white which I happen to like.

[deborahsabastro]

I’m in many homes on a weekly basis and I’d like to add lamp and lamp shades. Simply swapping out the very triangler shade or pleated shade to a drum shade will make a huge difference

*Before you smooth out the popcorn ceiling, have it checked for asbestos.

The newer updated white appliances are beautiful. We are putting in GE Cafe white appliances in our farmhouse. I never thought I would do white appliances again but these are beautiful. 😊

I was with you until you went after my white appliances. I just upgraded to a white Fisher Paykel fridge & a double drawer dishwasher. They look so good with my white cabinets. I wouldn’t have it any other way. I also have lavender paint in the walls. No apologies 😁.

I agree with everything you’re saying except the white appliances. White appliances will always be in style, are clean looking and go with everything. Everything else is a trend that will be here and gone.

We moved into a 90’s house and all the fixtures and accents are GOLD 😔

I respectfully watched this since I just bought my first place...I didn't take it personally. A few things that I prefer, whether they are trendy or not. Not everyone likes stainless steel anything 😁

[simplelifesg]

Agree with almost everything. White appliances though are perfect if one is going for an all-white kitchen look with white countertop and backsplash - especially small apartment kitchens. Everything just blends in and makes the kitchen feel less cluttered.

[surenemcclon]

I agree with nearly all except the white appliances, personally I think stainless steel looks dated now while white is timeless. Great tip about painting over outdated tile and grout, never knew you could do that.

[idahodiamonds]

Anyone who talks about how simple it is to “smooth out” a popcorn ceiling has clearly never done it! Y-I-k-e-s 🥴

[Secretcrushonglam]

Any kind of color will look out-of-date in no time. I think it's best to go with neutrals as a main color and use decorative items to add colors and patterns of your choice.

[lindaaphillippi]

Ok, totally agree with all except the white appliances. I redid my kitchen- all white cabinets and white appliances—looks great! Not a fan of stainless steel look for appliances. White is classic

Word phrase wall art is not just for decorating, it can also be to uplift ones day. I enjoy seeing mine, it makes me happy and reminds me to have positive days. I started purchasing mine last year during the pandemic to help my moods and I still love them.
Also I think white appliances is coming back in style. Its not my choice but I think it can look nice if remodeled kitchen blends with it.
