What Kind of Pillow is THAT

Music by: Joakim Karud

My name is Jay Swanson - I'm an American writer living in Paris on an artist visa and hoping to make the city of light my home base - at least for the foreseeable future. I write science-fiction and fantasy, vlog daily, and love pizza a little too much.

FAQ:
How long have you lived in France? On and off for over two years.

What do you miss most about ho- NACHOS

Where are you from originally? - Pullman, Washington - a small university/agricultural town near Idaho (and yes, the potatoes are amazing).

What do you edit with? - Adobe Premiere - it's pretty much all I've ever used since high school.

Aren't you ever freaked out by leaving your camera behind to film yourself? - Yep. But not too badly - I tend to be careful when I do.

Do you make money off YouTube? - Ha, no. I wish. It took me over 500 videos to make my first $100 off adsense. I think it will slowly change, but VERY slowly.

The ‘cushion’ looks good but you need another one to go on the other side to match. If you don’t have a vacuum cleaner then your rug needs to either be washable or fairly light so you can shake it out from your window, whilst the downstairs windows are closed of course. Also a colour that won’t show the dirt after 5 minutes of walking on it.

Im going to Paris alone next month thanks for these videos! I love all the intros and everything you cover!

The cushion looks great. I like the contrast, but I'd are another one for the other side.

Hi, Jay! 1) I can’t wait to see the bed, 2) yep, the pillow is waaaay too red, 3) you are getting good on the wheel - That is sooo cool!

Pillow works but you'll need to stick with that color palette or add in neutrals for the rest of the room. I would add a patterned pillow instead personally. You seem to be enjoying the process of decorating!

I'm irrationally excited for this new mezzanine bed.

[suwaneerichardson]

I really like San Diego. Chula Vista and La Jolla Beach my favorites. I go at least once a year. Enjoy.

Can’t wait to see the bed tomorrow, congratulations! Glad to see you in good spirits and looking forward to tomorrow’s blog. I just loved that geometric-style throw rug in the store.

In Paris there is a store called Zara Home they have a lot of great home items and very affordable. Good Luck!

I agreed with Paige Crosswhite's post from yesterdy's vlog 828. I replied to her post. The way you arranged the pillow combo on your couch in this vlog is how I was trying to envision the combination. Read my reply to her. I think it's a great combo. Buy a second red/orange pillow Jay! If the covers come off the pillows, bring the covers with you whilst rug shopping to throw them on the rug for "color vision" comparison. You'll get there.

First thing I thought about the pillow was "damn that's red", then you asked "is this too red?" - looking forward to seeing the monstrousity set up...

[yvonnerahmes]

LOVE THE RED PILLOW!!! As you decorate more, it will be a great pop for the area. I'm very LATE (it's 12/15/18) just catching up on your vids.

[AnitasDreams]

I'm not sure the pillow is the one for the couch..It may not be showing the true colors. I think a multi patterned /color would be best. Excited to see your bed set up.

[bethhughes]

I'm so excited to see the bed installed! Chez Jay's Chateau is coming to fruition!

[cermelem]

mcsleepies. Is that on the late night menu? 😴 See Jay. See Jay run. Run Jay run. 🏃 Hopefully they deliver the bed today!!

[ahutchinson]

Hey Jay! The color scheme is awesome, but I agree with Amanda you need to balance the colors, Just got in Paris, now you’re getting the bed and then leaving, ugh… Have a safe and no doubt crazy fun time in southern Cali, can't wait to see the bed and your much needed vaca!

[erinintechnicolourII]

Watching the chateau come along is so exciting! Are you allowed to put things on the walls there too?

[mytod]

Whether the red 'scatter cushion' remains or not, I definitely think you must have something to brighten the plain couch. I like it.

Hilarious intro! Sharon and I are loving your videos as you recreate your living space, searching for the perfect pieces to make your place a plush palace. You've inspired us to create a vlog about our move to Spain. We may have mentioned that when we met up in late May. Yes, the same Sharon and Tom that live outside of Boston! We're actually in Spain right now exploring potential places call our future home while staying with family. You'll get an invitation to visit us in Spain once we settle in - and we can provide REAL NACHO CHIPS!!!

I wonder if the colors are off on my computer. Is the sofa blue or green? It looks Christmasy with the red and green (if it is actually green). Think about the colors that are in your sister's painting and pull out colors from it for your accent colors. Just an idea. Can't wait to see the bed. I know you are soooo excited.
