Don't skimp on the quality of your BED (mattress, bed frame).

Invest in PILLOW COVERS instead of buying a zillion different throw pillows. You can quickly switch covers for a new look, mood, or season at a lower cost.

Get quality TOOLS (on sale, if money's tight), especially if you're a DIYer. Say no to dollar store gadgets or any knockoffs.

Don’t skimp on rug size. I realize the 8x10 rugs are quite a bit more than the 5x8, but you’ll never regret spending the extra money. Just trust me on this one.

BEHR is a great paint. My Dad was an interior/ exterior painter for 25 years. He worked alone by word of mouth. He was always trying to keep things as affordable as possible for customers and he tried every paint on the market ( at that time) and he always recommended working with BEHR. I have done quite a bit of painting myself as I worked with him when I wanted money and then… adult life. It’s is IMPORTANT not to buy the cheapest contractor paint! It will cost less per gallon but you will have to do at least one more coat and chances are you will have to cut in multiple times. Get a good enough paint so that you will only have to cut in ONCE! Also on the topic of cutting in, my Dad started rolling first because he found ( and I will now agree from personal experience) that he could get his roller close to the wall and it resulted in less inches of cutting in. Sometimes going down a corner I can just run a brush up and down and it’s done. If I cut in first than I run my brush up and down and usually paint 3-5 inches on other side of my corner. Also, when you think you might have run out, sometimes you can squeeze juuuust enough out of your roller to touch up those few boo boos.

Hi, i like this kind of video in which you explain how to understand if something Is timeless and It worth to splurge on and the fact that It often depends on how we use it

Well for Art I prefer buying limited art to support local or upcoming artists. One or two a year is what I go for.

Love your videos. Love your delivery and humor and your knowledge. When I found you on YouTube I began watching. I have watched every one. I love jute rugs as well for their texture and what they bring to a space. However I never feel like I get an area very clean when using one. Dirt can sift through. I do use a rug pad. Just a personal opinion

[pameladeweese]

all very practical information but then again who is actually practical when purchasing furnishings. Thanks for reminding me being practical in some circumstance is not a sacrifice. Love your vlogs.

I watch your video on TV and then come back and watch again on my phone to give you a double view. I adore your channel... plus Nick's. The two best. Thank you for providing us with great content!

I would like to hear your thoughts on wood(the IKEA one's) countertops. Especially around the sink. But I love the look so much...
I was forgetting to say... I love your videos!💖💖

I absolutely LOVE my custom drapes. Beautiful fabric and beautifully made.

Ive been in residential remodeling for 5 years. Home Depot or Lowes paint will require additional coats, especially if you're going from dark to light. but even just changing lighter colors - the money saved on cheaper paint is very quickly lost in installation cost. Since labor costs are usually more expensive than the paint itself - I always recommend a higher quality paint for remodel projects. I have found Benjamin Moore "Regal Select" to be the best product that delivers the highest value. I recommend this product for ALL remodeling wall paint projects. You WILL save time if doing it yourself, or money if hiring out labor. Same goes for ceiling paint. Benjamin Moore is my go to, as opposed to cheaper Home Depot paint products. Same goes for cabinet or trim paints. Benjamin Moore "Advanced" formula is an excellent product. Your Home Depot brand paint products will not work well for remodeling projects. New construction is different. these HD products may be acceptable for new construction - but I highly recommend Benjamin Moore Regal Select for any and all remodeling! of course... this is just my opinion. hope this helps :)

Flooring was our big thing in our new home. Good quality carpet (in the UK), is a game changer :) Also, nice laminate that is resistant to "life" is a must!

I left a comment about BEHR paint, but o have to mention the most beautiful paint and nicest I’ve ever used, it’s called Manor Hall and it has a finish like velvet and the richness changes during the day with the light. It’s stunning. With the

I love museum artwork. I get my favorite pieces on canvas (GreatBigCanvas always has a good sale). I got a John Singer Sargent print, on canvas, about 20x30, for $108. I took it to Michael’s, which always has custom frames for 70% off, sometimes 80%. For under $200, I have a large, beautiful classic piece of art.
