I absolutely love Kristen’s videos. As mentioned, she’s so professional, concise, intelligent, classy and truly knows how to decorate.
I always look forward to her videos because they’re loaded with great ideas. Something else I especially love about her is that unlike some YouTubers, it’s not about her and her beauty, although she’s very pretty, it’s about her quality content week after week. Thank you dear Kristen

There’s something about Kristen that makes her unique and one of a kind. She has this radiant sunshine aura that surrounds her, a positive attitude and a caring, honest & outgoing personality 🤍🌸 I love how pure and sweet she is 🩵

Mounting furniture on the wall was a game changer. I saw it in one of your old videos and decided to mount my tv stand, my entryway console table and even my desk. It looks amazing now I have more space in the living room I even added a bench under the tv stand and another one under the entryway console table. I can also fully tuck my desk chair under the desk

Love these ideas! We bought our retirement home 2 years ago and it has been a challenge to find furniture and decorate only 1200 sq ft. I still don’t have anything on my walls-I think I’m scared of not doing it right and causing damage. 😂 Do you have an episode on correct mounting techniques for large heavy artwork and shelves? I have floor to ceiling windows in my dining and LR area so I finally hung my curtains high- and used a mix of cafe lace style curtains with a heavier light colored, patterned linen over top. It gives me different options. It made such a difference! I really love the look and functionality of that. Thanks for saying you can use heavier furniture pieces. I just bought a 6 foot Buffett for my small DR to use as a coffee bar- I Love it! I think a mirror and shelves for decor above it are needed. Just scared to put holes in my wall. 😆 I love watching your videos- so upbeat and personable. 💗

Thank you for sharing all these useful tips. Your videos inspired me a lot. I bought a lot of cool things for kitchen and bathroom organization for me and my parents.

I’d love for you to come and transform some spaces in the UK! Our houses are tiny (especially newer builds) in comparison to American ones, my living room is smaller than most of those featured in this video and my house isn’t considered small here 😅

[lucybraun]

LOVE my bar cart! It has a cabinet, a drawer, a display shelf and a butcher block top. I was even able to change out its handles so they match my kitchen cabinet handles!

I love watching your chanel kristen.After im done I feel as though I could change the whole outlook of my home.

[Trish-qlkz]

The small spaces that are shown on here are definitely not small to the uk viewer 😮

[huskysc]

Excellent ideas. My space is a small - an older home with no natural light. Have painted light taupe w white doors and chair rails, and white kitchen cabinets. Will follow your ideas re tall space. Thanks.

[Rositasparks]

You always give the best advice! Thx!❤

[christinehaas]

Kristen, what is the paint color in your house please?

[texasstardust]

...I prefer upholstery Velvet and Chenille, because ...they are soft, inviting and Chenille wears like iron, especially on high usage pieces of furniture.
Mounting a TV is not possible with every layout, it depends on how much wall space one has available... For example I have one long wall that I could use for artwork and a mirror and things like that.... I'm not going to waste that by mounting my t v on it and then have that be distracting to all the artwork ..No. That is a pet peeve of mine when I see a mounted Television and it's surrounded by all this nice artwork, and the artwork is just lost because you're looking at this big black thing. Ugggh. Some rooms don't give much of an option for layout of furniture, etc. I realise these are suggestions, but ultimately...it comes down to having make choices that work for how one lives and how the room needs to function.
