I love everything you and Michael have done to your cottage. Thank you for sharing all of your ideas and disregard all of the ridiculous and rude comments people have been posting.
I really appreciate the white decor, it makes your space look so peaceful and tranquil. Im redoing my bedroom in white and silver and Im really enthusiastic about all of the possibilities.
I love you because unlike other room tours that rely on $2000 tables and crap, you manage to make stuff you find look sooooo nice and for not as much money.
Lot's of opinions going on here today. Didn't know you asked for any so if that's what we are doing here is mine.. I think the room is full of inspiration, love and togetherness. How awesome it must be to walk in that room and know that you AND Michael made the room your own together with all the things you both love. Very nicely done, it is beautiful!
This place is magnificent to say the least. I think a really good contrast would be medium to dark wooden parquet floors. And then top it off with your current rug, it would add some drama to the room. Or in the color of the mirror frame and the magazine basket. I personally don't like layered rugs, specially in a climate like Hawaii's. None the less though, love your taste.
Yep, if we owned this place, the first thing we would do is rip out the carpeting and put in wood flooring. Love the idea of the reclaimed wood look for the flooring. x
Beautiful space! I love the white in the space. It makes your space seem so much larger than what it actually is. You are very talented at decorating! Thanks for sharing!
I absolutely love that most of your décor and furniture is either from Ross, Walmart, or Home made. it really speaks truth that you don't have to spend tons of money to live in luxury. all you need is a little creativity, and smart shopping skills. You don't need to buy everything from ikea etc. and have a space like this people! Heed!
Hi Christine :D I love how you've put this together, it's such a small space! I don't think it looks cluttered, like people are saying.. Who wants a boring space anyway.. It's not an item contest, lol. So so love the curtains and the main light. Would love to see more vlogs from you guys 😜😀🎀💕
Thank you! I so appreciate your positivity! It totally brightened my day. I was reluctant to share our home (outside of my filming room) online with everyone, just because taste in decor is such a personal thing, everyone has their own style, favorite colors and items they enjoy in their surroundings. Always hard to put yourself out there, especially when doing a tour of a tiny, quirky, cottage you're renting. 😜 So many upgrades we would love to do (ah hem: tear out carpet, install wood flooring ;) but being a rental, we're limited with what we can change for the time being. We'll see what the future holds though. More vlogs coming soon! 💖
Love love love all your DIY projects. You are so talented!!! Your living room looks absolutely amazing. Every time I watch your videos it makes me want to change around and redecorate my home. Keep the DIY videos coming please. You always give us the most wonderful ideas.
You have outdone yourself Christine!!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏Your home is beautiful, it truly shows you can make any small space not just liveable but showroom ready. The small touches really brought it together, the mirrored mosaic, the magazine, beaded and mirrored boxes, and my fav the bar stools - they just class up the whole joint lol. I would absolutely love if you could post any more footage you have about your process I really enjoy watching those. You have to tell us how many times you hit your foot on those mirrored boxes though lol, I'd give myself about 20 - clumsy is my middle name. I see a home decor line in your future. Thanks for sharing.
What a difference to your living space since you began focussing on whites, crystal, and silver, Christine! Gone is the yellow, and back is a sofa! You have done a lovely job pulling everything together, and this palette certainly make your space look more expansive, I think! I bet it looks gorgeous at night too, when you use your candles, and lamps! Our decorating styles and preferences are so very different, but I could take your beautiful loveseat,and put it in our 1862 Century farmhouse parlour with our dark cranberry walls,and dark Edwardian/Victorian antique furniture pieces.How cool is that?! Well done guys!! Hugs,Sherrey in Southern Ontario❤
Beautiful Christine. I'm not very creative but I can recognize creativity in others and you are inspired. Your living room is a work of art. Speaking of works of art, that lotus is gorgeous.
I never really comment on any videos here on youtube, i watched ALOT of RUclipsrs and i must say you are my favorite. Your videos inspire me, i look forward to your videos the most. i live in a very crowded city & i must say you inspire me to leave everything i have and go to Hawaii in a small house and just live there very minimal with my own little garden! you remind me that life isn't always about money and hoarding things you don't really need, you remind me that you can be the happiest person on earth just living with the person you love, doing what you love and just living very minimalistic. you really inspire me to turn around my life and i do appreciate all the effort you put in your videos! i must add my favorite is your Vlogs and gardening! love you and michael so much
So Beautiful. I want to redo my WHOLE home after seeing this. Love all your DIY (watched all) And you have a great eye for decor. Thanx for sharing, can't wait to see more.
oh wow, i am blown away, your living room has really transformed and i love everything in it, your decor is superb and i love that you have loads of your own DIY projects in it too that no one would guess you made yourself, they are really amazing, my house is as small as yours and you have inspired me to be more organised and decorate my house the way i like. well your whole house is real relaxation sanctuary, oh could you show us how michael made those mirror cubes please !!! i would love to see that, i am obsessed with glass or anything with a reflective surface lol
I absolutely love your living room! Beautiful! Very nice, clean, and glamorous. I also love to decorate with a lot of white, neutral colors, and mirrors. This helps create the illusion of a bigger space.
So chic!! I really love how the mirrored pieces create depth and a more spacious feel. The space feels so inviting and sleek at the same time. Great job!
You have done such a great job of editing your makeup collection so I know you will have put a lot of thought into your answers. I am really looking forward to seeing which products you will choose as your "Just Ones" :)
+Lashelle Z. Farrington I'm with you on that one! I'd be shaking the minute I hit the door, lol-I'm just that clumsy. I just spent the afternoon with my twin godsons. They'd have to sit in the car-no way would I bring them into a setting like that. When you have a husband who loves your sense of style and decor (all white, fluffy, glass, mirrors and potted plants), and don't have children, I call that a blessing! I guarantee however, that the minute they find out they're pregnant, all that is going to be history!!!
+Lashelle Z. Farrington --Add me to another one that feels it's a 'DON'T TOUCH ME' room. Beautiful, yes; but first thing I would do is take off my shoes which she probably has a sign outside to do anyway... ;o)
Small and simple has its perks! My husband and I are moving into our first apartment. It's cozy, and watching your videos has given me lots of decorating ideas! Thank you so much for sharing your space and tips.
This is by far the best room tour I've ever seen on RUclips... your space is so neat, classy & sophisticated! And you've used the space beautifully! I'm from India & couldn't help but notice a book titled 'India' on your shelf even before you introduced the lotus painting 😊 You & Michael are so good at DIY'S... I subscribed immediately! Tons of love from India!
I find the space gorgeous , and especially do-able for someone who doesn't have children or pets. As someone who has a small cleaning business, I think the main cleaning product for all that glass and mirror décor is vinegar and water or store bought windex type products. Not too much of any other cleaning products would be needed. So that's a plus. :) As much as love what you've done...I myself need more color ...but then again, you guys live in vibrant ,spectacularly colored Hawaii ...so maybe the contrast of less color makes more sense there. To each their own...but I think you are wonderful at putting things together!
You know I have been subscribed for a while now, please don't think I am full of my self and so opinionated that it makes a difference to the world, I don't know why people say comments below, when it really is wanting to reach out to another human, you are special, you have created such an elegant interior home, with a legitimate cottage exterior, I love your diy's and does you husband do the sewing? if he does, my 'opinion' is that he is loving to you to do that and very masculine in his fearlessness to do it. I always look forward to your uploads. Thank you.
Stunning cottage!!! Very clean and organized space with a lot of glam. You definitely took took advantage of every nook in the space and made it look seamless. Gorgeous!!!
Is there any way you can do a DIY on how Michael makes those amazing mirrored cubes? I really love those. Both of you are really very handy. I'm really good with wreaths and baskets, but I've never done much else, but I'm really interested in getting started in other areas. And I love all of the crafts that you and your husband do! We have a lot of the same style.
wow that is so beautiful . i don't see this as not livable at all. it's not like they are dirty little kids in there with bowls of spaghetti. if you live in a small space you need to have light colors and lots of mirrors and sparkle. and frankly.. i don't see these guys as sitting around the house much doing nothing. they are active and very spiritual and for pete sake.. THEY LIVE IN HAWAII! to me it reflects just who they are. i feel calm and happy looking at that space . thanks for sharing it with us Christine!
I knew there was something more than just your creative flair and good taste that kept drawing me to your do it yourself videos. Then I saw this living room tour video and the books on your cube shelf next to the mirror cube. You are obviously someone who is conscious of their spiritual need (Matthew 5:3)! I was so excited to see that we have the same Bible. I knew there was something about you!
Can I just say that I love your videos so much!! your filming and editing is great and even your personality and how you describe things is wonderful. Your living room is gorgeous and No one would ever think that you house is that small and that everything you have is so inexpensive. Great job!!
So incredibly beautiful!!!! Simple, clean, and classy. Amazing. I would so fly you out to Canada to decorate my future house!! Haha love your taste and style. Honestly, you and your husband are so talented! This is definitely my favourite channel :)xo
Omg...you and Michael do the best DIY's ever!!!!!! The mirror cube "are you kidding me" that is beautiful.... Please can you guys do a DIY on that.... And to everyone that has something negative to say, she loves her style, and that is whats makes her so great! I mean that is why you clicked the video to watch right?
LOVE, LOVE, LOOOOVE!!! So beautiful Christine!!! And you PAINT??? Why didn't we know this? 🙏 Please do a tutorial? Or a beginners 'How to paint'? Your painting is stunning!! Xx Sascha
Absolutely Gorgeous! Thanks so much for the tour. And yes, yes, yes, to the DIY coaster video. Love those! Everything looks perfect in your tiny home. And it does look like a home. Beautiful. Hugs
pinksofoxy Aww thank you. That's my Russian channel & here's my channel in english ruclips.net/user/katesordinarylife2 Will be glad to see you there :) btw, been watching you from your very begging, always have this nostalgic feeling watching your videos now :)
i love it. it gives me a feeling of....i dont even kknow the right word. calm. tranquil. relaxing? like i could just walk in the door and take a deep breath and whisper " im home..."
I love your creativeness and sense of style. You make a small space look very inviting. I love how your entire house is streamlined and has a clean look.
+Christine Kobzeff Hi, I am a new subie! I was watching your Living room tour from January 2015 and I noticed at around 10:30ish on the shelve you had a gray bible. I was wondering where you got it from? Amazing Videos btw! I am going to redo my room using most of your diy projects! Thanks for the inspiration!!!
I love that you created so many functional areas in one small room. I also love all the great deals and DIY you have done. I'm all about surrounding oneself with things of meaning and personality. This room is gorgeous!
Christine I think I've watched just about every video of yours and this new place is a drastically different lifestyle from your old house. Congrats on going more minimalistic. However, why so many candles?? Instead of candles, I'd put some pictures up of you and your husband instead. If it's your "sanctuary," then shouldn't you display some wonderful pictures of you guys being happy? Just a thought!
I noticed in the comments SOME people keep saying how can Michael, a man, live in the girly decor. Clearly he is fine with it because he even did some of the DIYs. They are married. He is also a wise man. HAPPY WIFE...HAPPY LIFE! LOL. Christine I like your taste and style. You dont yet have children AND this is a rental so I dont blame you for your style for this chapter in your life. It makes you happy and that's what matters. Thank you for allowing us to have a glimpse of your cozy world. You got a new SUBBIE! (:
I love this room...if we didn't have three kids, two dogs and two parakeets we would love a look like yours. You and Michael made your own little sanctuary and it's just perfect.
What a great way to create functional space. Love the idea of using mainly whites and creams it really makes the room appear more open and less small than it really is. Very cozy.
Absolutely Beautiful !!!! Your Decor diy projects are So Amazing that I have done several just in the past 2-3 weeks since discovering your videos. Your place is GORGEOUS, not just the LR every room I've seen so far !! Cute & Fabulous !! Hope you don't mind but I'm redecorating my bedroom and copying many of your decorating ideas. I now LOVE MY BEDROOM, IT'S A PLACE I ENJOY BEING IN & IT'S MY NEW SANCTUARY !! THX OH PLEASE DO THE FAUX LEATHER COASTER VIDEO, I'VE ALREADY DONE THE WHITE DOCKING STATION, THE WHITE MAKE-UP BRUSH HOLDER A COUPLE OF BLK LEATHER COVERED PILLOWS, A SILVER PILLOW, THE BEADED CANDLES. I WISH I COULD DO SOME TYPE OF MIRRORED BOX PROJECT BUT DON'T KNOW HOW, BUT PLEASE DO THE COASTER VIDEO. YOU GUYS ARE SO LUCKY TO HAVE THOSE BEAUTIFUL BANANA & ORANGE TREES, WISH I COULD LIVE IN HAWAII IT LOOKS LIKE PARADISE, BUT THATS JUST A "PIPE DREAM" FOR ME THX AGAIN
Thank you so so much Sherry!! I'm happy to hear you enjoy the DIY ideas, we love doing those videos. I'll be sure to include the coasters and Michael's mirrored cubes in the next one. Huge hugs!! ❤️😊
I love how you use such neutral colors but yet you make it so cozy. It takes a real talent to do that. I love the mirrored and jeweled things like you do. I love lights too. Both you and your Husband are very classy and I enjoy all of your videos. Thanks for sharing with us.
If only you knew how much I love you Christine! Not to know someone & love them this much is simply amazing. I'm redoing my home & you of course, are my inspiration. After our living room will be our bedroom. I hope my husband wouldn't buck on me when he gets back from overseas cos he prefers warm & quiet as opposed to all this bright & gorgeous. Thank you really.
Haha yes! That would be my super cool husband, Michael. We're very similar in that we both prefer white/light/monochromatic neutrals. He's cool with my girlie-ness, fluffiness, beads and crystals. Just like I'm cool with his metal detector, rocks, fossils, chess sets, kitchen gadgets, etc. We enjoy each others quirks. 😜
pinksofoxy I can totally relate!! My husband is the same, he doesn't mind my girlie-ness. We both compromise/enjoy each others likes, just like you and Michael we have very similar likes/dislikes. I too found my soul mate totally!
I love what you have done with the small living space. I also love the decor...it not only opens everything up but I can imagine how beautiful and relaxing it would be to sit there reading a book or having a cup of tea. You have given me some great ideas....Thank you..x
Thanks so much Christine for showing us your beautiful room and decor ideas, you really nailed that cool and crisp and inviting room. I even have a three of the same books. I will be moving soon and you have inspired me for some new decorating ideas. I want to make the ottoman boxes too, really love the look with the nail heads. Your lotus painting looks so pretty in the room.
I hope you ignore the negative on here and continue flooding your very positive, inspiring creative knowledge and peaceful serenity lifestyle. I want you to know there are many that really love and enjoy your talent and hard work!!! You are a beacon of light that radiates peace, love, joy and happiness!!! I am always blown away by your peaceful lifestyle, you are planting seeds of pure goodness! You and Michael are two angel and your place reflects that! It's what I picture heaven on earth!!! And you and Michael created it!!!! I am so grateful you shared this!!!! Thank you!!!
WOW! Absolutely impressive. I love that you and Michael have so many projects you've done together! Everything goes together so well. Thanks so much for sharing!!
Love love love the living room Christine,I love the addition of the bistro table!WTH with some of these comments,the definition of people that need a life!You and Michael always make me smile.Much love to you guys.😊
How do you deal with the cleaning (dust) with so much stuff going around? :( I've always wanted to decorate my room (with frames, candles, and stuff) but the dust T.T
I love everything you and Michael have done to your cottage. Thank you for sharing all of your ideas and disregard all of the ridiculous and rude comments people have been posting.
I love the colors combined it's so elegant and girly.
Love your creative ideas! Diy projects make everything more special and sentimental. How nice that the both of you spend time together like this.
I really appreciate the white decor, it makes your space look so peaceful and tranquil. Im redoing my bedroom in white and silver and Im really enthusiastic about all of the possibilities.
I love you because unlike other room tours that rely on $2000 tables and crap, you manage to make stuff you find look sooooo nice and for not as much money.

Haha! I love you girl!! Thank you so much!! ❤️😉
If she Didn't want Comments,she would have Disable them....
she doesn't have to ask....there's a comments section for that very reason.
When my kids go to college I might be able to have a sitting room like this lol
I was thinking the same thing!!
Haha! Yeah I guess it's not very child proof. ;)
Oh were just so jealous lol no sticky hand prints on your lovely cream sofa lol
***** Omg, I hope he didn't get hurt, that's terrible but you totally cracked me up too lol. ;)
Ann marie White No you won't, they still come home for holidays, etc. Trust me on this.
Can't get over how creative and talented you guys are
Will you give us a full house tour? I'd love to see more of the kitchen and bathroom!
This place is magnificent to say the least. I think a really good contrast would be medium to dark wooden parquet floors. And then top it off with your current rug, it would add some drama to the room. Or in the color of the mirror frame and the magazine basket. I personally don't like layered rugs, specially in a climate like Hawaii's. None the less though, love your taste.
Agree, a floor in the colour of the mirror would be stunning
Yep, if we owned this place, the first thing we would do is rip out the carpeting and put in wood flooring. Love the idea of the reclaimed wood look for the flooring. x
Leilani Kapoor I would totally also love a whole house tour. Specially the kitchen.
Leilani Kapoor I strongly agree, it is up to them to choose whether they should show their place or not. It can be dangerous for her to do that.
***** I see. I just visualized it, it would look amazing.
I love all the thought and creativity that goes into everything you do! And your lotus painting is gorgeous. Well done!
Thank you so much beautiful!!
Beautiful space! I love the white in the space. It makes your space seem so much larger than what it actually is. You are very talented at decorating! Thanks for sharing!

love it so much ...Wish I had a living room like that.
your home is beautiful and your diy projects are lovely! you have great ideas and I'm so inspired! Thank you for sharing,
I think you have exceptional taste. These colors and pieces would be outstanding in a bedroom or makeup vanity room!
Hi Christine :D I love how you've put this together, it's such a small space! I don't think it looks cluttered, like people are saying.. Who wants a boring space anyway.. It's not an item contest, lol. So so love the curtains and the main light. Would love to see more vlogs from you guys 😜😀🎀💕

You have done such a great job of editing your makeup collection so I know you will have put a lot of thought into your answers. I am really looking forward to seeing which products you will choose as your "Just Ones" :)
I have always liked decorating with mirrors, candles, books and pillows. I have never made it look this fabulous though. Well done! :)
I would be scared to sit anywhere! It looks like a staged setting for a furniture store! absolutely beautiful!!!
+Lashelle Z. Farrington I'm with you on that one! I'd be shaking the minute I hit the door, lol-I'm just that clumsy. I just spent the afternoon with my twin godsons.

lol agreed so nice
Love your style. The white and mirror looks really good. It's my favorite color also.
This is so cozy!! Beautifully done
Small and simple has its perks! My husband and I are moving into our first apartment. It's cozy, and watching your videos has given me lots of decorating ideas! Thank you so much for sharing your space and tips.

Glad to know you too! ;-)

Yes please how are those coasters made?.... Super Cute!
I love your creativeness and sense of style. You make a small space look very inviting. I love how your entire house is streamlined and has a clean look.
All i have to say is GORGEUS 😍 i fell in love with ur living room
Aww thank you so much beautiful! 💋
Such a fresh look you've given much inspiration for a new project room
Gosh this is so perfect I think am gonna cry!! 😩😩😩
Oh my, you are a total sweetheart!! I love you girl!! Huge hugs ❤️
+Christine Kobzeff Hi, I am a new subie! I was watching your Living room tour from January 2015 and I noticed at around 10:30ish on the shelve you had a gray bible. I was wondering where you got it from?
Amazing Videos btw! I am going to redo my room using most of your diy projects! Thanks for the inspiration!!!
I love that you created so many functional areas in one small room. I also love all the great deals and DIY you have done. I'm all about surrounding oneself with things of meaning and personality. This room is gorgeous!
Christine I think I've watched just about every video of yours and this new place is a drastically different lifestyle from your old house. Congrats on going more minimalistic. However, why so many candles?? Instead of candles, I'd put some pictures up of you and your husband instead. If it's your "sanctuary," then shouldn't you display some wonderful pictures of you guys being happy? Just a thought!
I noticed in the comments SOME people keep saying how can Michael, a man, live in the girly decor. Clearly he is fine with it because he even did some of the DIYs. They are married. He is also a wise man. HAPPY WIFE...HAPPY LIFE! LOL. Christine I like your taste and style. You dont yet have children AND this is a rental so I dont blame you for your style for this chapter in your life. It makes you happy and that's what matters. Thank you for allowing us to have a glimpse of your cozy world. You got a new SUBBIE! (:
I love youre home and garden! Love from Holland ♡
Thank you!! Ahh I would love to visit Holland one day!! ❤️
Omg I love your living room theme it's like white,fluffy,diamond,mirrored and shiny/silver. Just wow.
you are a genius, so creative
I love this room...if we didn't have three kids, two dogs and two parakeets we would love a look like yours. You and Michael made your own little sanctuary and it's just perfect.
Oh haha! I can totally see the parakeets enjoying a good climb up the linen curtains. 😜 (I used to have cockatiels, such characters!) :)
This is such an elegant interier.I am just speechless.What about Audrey name for you second orchid?Beautiful and simple as Audrey Hepbern:)
What a great way to create functional space. Love the idea of using mainly whites and creams it really makes the room appear more open and less small than it really is. Very cozy.
Drooling over this room! Can you decorate my apartment? Hahah :p Love your style and work of the space!
omg i feel in love with this color scheme. your house is so quaint. using all white does make it look very spacious!
omg u found that couch at Ross?!?! I wish the Rosses here has stuff like that!
You are very creative and inspirational person. I love love 😍 each of your video. white and elegant. love it.
Absolutely Beautiful !!!! Your Decor diy projects are So Amazing that I have done several just in the past 2-3 weeks since discovering your videos. Your place is GORGEOUS, not just the LR every room I've seen so far !! Cute & Fabulous !! Hope you don't mind but I'm redecorating my bedroom and copying many of your decorating ideas. I now LOVE MY BEDROOM, IT'S A PLACE I ENJOY BEING IN & IT'S MY NEW SANCTUARY !! THX OH PLEASE DO THE FAUX LEATHER COASTER VIDEO, I'VE ALREADY DONE THE WHITE DOCKING STATION, THE WHITE MAKE-UP BRUSH HOLDER A COUPLE OF BLK LEATHER COVERED PILLOWS, A SILVER PILLOW, THE BEADED CANDLES. I WISH I COULD DO SOME TYPE OF MIRRORED BOX PROJECT BUT DON'T KNOW HOW, BUT PLEASE DO THE COASTER VIDEO. YOU GUYS ARE SO LUCKY TO HAVE THOSE BEAUTIFUL BANANA & ORANGE TREES, WISH I COULD LIVE IN HAWAII IT LOOKS LIKE PARADISE, BUT THATS JUST A "PIPE DREAM" FOR ME THX AGAIN
Thank you so so much Sherry!! I'm happy to hear you enjoy the DIY ideas, we love doing those videos. I'll be sure to include the coasters and Michael's mirrored cubes in the next one. Huge hugs!! ❤️😊
pinksofoxy Hi from the UK! Love, love, love all your diy. Just one thing, can you speak a little slower please.? X
I love how you use such neutral colors but yet you make it so cozy. It takes a real talent to do that. I love the mirrored and jeweled things like you do. I love lights too. Both you and your Husband are very classy and I enjoy all of your videos. Thanks for sharing with us.
Omg you are living such a clean and clear life🤓 but please return the white storage couch to me. I'm ready! Lol jk
If only you knew how much I love you Christine! Not to know someone & love them this much is simply amazing. I'm redoing my home & you of course, are my inspiration. After our living room will be our bedroom. I hope my husband wouldn't buck on me when he gets back from overseas cos he prefers warm & quiet as opposed to all this bright & gorgeous. Thank you really.
Does a man live here? Wow. Looks like the ultimate girls crib! Love it for myself. Don't think my hubby would last more then 20 minutes in there
I love it but I was thinking the same thing!! LOL
Trust, he lets her have her way. LOL Too feminine, but so lovely.
Haha yes! That would be my super cool husband, Michael. We're very similar in that we both prefer white/light/monochromatic neutrals. He's cool with my girlie-ness, fluffiness, beads and crystals. Just like I'm cool with his metal detector, rocks, fossils, chess sets, kitchen gadgets, etc. We enjoy each others quirks. 😜
Michael is a very special kind of guy!! The kind you keep!!
pinksofoxy I can totally relate!! My husband is the same, he doesn't mind my girlie-ness. We both compromise/enjoy each others likes, just like you and Michael we have very similar likes/dislikes. I too found my soul mate totally!
I love what you have done with the small living space. I also love the decor...it not only opens everything up but I can imagine how beautiful and relaxing it would be to sit there reading a book or having a cup of tea. You have given me some great ideas....Thank you..x
So many things just cramped in that small room
Thanks so much Christine for showing us your beautiful room and decor ideas, you really nailed that cool and crisp and inviting room. I even have a three of the same books. I will be moving soon and you have inspired me for some new decorating ideas. I want to make the ottoman boxes too, really love the look with the nail heads. Your lotus painting looks so pretty in the room.
You should call her Bianca. That name just popped in my head when I saw how pretty she was and so white. Lovely.
Yes! She should definitely name it Bianca! :D
Or maybe Blanca (means white in Spanish).
I love it! ❤️😄
Definitely Bianca
Omg! That's exactly what I was thinking. Bianca the orchid. Lovely!
I hope you ignore the negative on here and continue flooding your very positive, inspiring creative knowledge and peaceful serenity lifestyle. I want you to know there are many that really love and enjoy your talent and hard work!!! You are a beacon of light that radiates peace, love, joy and happiness!!! I am always blown away by your peaceful lifestyle, you are planting seeds of pure goodness! You and Michael are two angel and your place reflects that! It's what I picture heaven on earth!!! And you and Michael created it!!!! I am so grateful you shared this!!!! Thank you!!!
can you do a diy of the cubed mirror!?
WOW! Absolutely impressive. I love that you and Michael have so many projects you've done together! Everything goes together so well. Thanks so much for sharing!!
How do you keep all the white stuff clean? Your house looks like it should be in an interior design magazine! :)
I love your lotus painting...I was thinking of getting a tattoo of a lotus :)
Your home looks so cozy and welcoming! Thank you for inviting us all into your homes, it was great watching.
Can you please share with us how Michael did the mirror boxes?
Your living room is beautiful and I love the way you incorporated mirrored items in your space to reflect light. Well designed.
That room belongs on a magazine cover!
Ma'alahi would be an appropriate name for your orchid.
Aww thank you so much!!
First i want to say it's totally awesome how creative you were with a tiny living space. Second, GORGEOUS, GORGEOUS, GORGEOUS.
beautiful room, I really like your taste
Thank you!! :)
Love love love the living room Christine,I love the addition of the bistro table!WTH with some of these comments,the definition of people that need a life!You and Michael always make me smile.Much love to you guys.😊
How do you deal with the cleaning (dust) with so much stuff going around? :( I've always wanted to decorate my room (with frames, candles, and stuff) but the dust T.T
Awww the serenity, I just love the space you have created! So perfect for island living as well, thank you so much for sharing!
