    In this video... a tour of our evolving French country bedroom where I share the journey of transforming this space into something both beautiful and deeply personal. This room was originally a guest bedroom but has now become Josh's space as well. We made this decision based on what works best for us and our daily routines.
    I also talk about the importance of embracing change in our homes and lives. Designing a space is a process and I want to take you along as we make thoughtful choices and refine every detail. From vintage Parisian finds to personal artwork and unique touches, this room is coming together in a way that truly reflects Josh’s passions and our shared love for travel and nature.
    In this video I show you some of my favorite design choices, including how I distress mirrors for added character and how I mix French style with global influences. I also share a little about my approach to decorating and why I prioritize a collected and curated look rather than a perfectly matched space.
    If you enjoy home design and the idea of making your home a true reflection of what brings you joy, I hope you find this tour inspiring. Don't forget to subscribe and join our growing community where we dive even deeper into design, creativity, and personal transformation!

    My husband and I starting sleeping in separate rooms a couple years ago. What a great decision, now we're both well rested and I'm not harboring frustration that he kept me up half the night snoring! Love your content🤩

      That is so great to hear. Sleep is everything, and it is amazing what a difference it makes when you actually get enough of it. I love questioning what really works instead of just doing things the way we are told we should. So happy you are enjoying the content. Thank you so much for the support and kind comment!!!!

    I lived with a man for 25 years and we had separate rooms the entire time. I like old fashioned things, lace, quilts and dark walls. He preferred modern, bright, and Carlos Santana pictures up on the walls. He had had 12 surgeries on his right knee and went to bed very late and loved to watch old movies all night long if he was having trouble sleeping. I went to bed earlier as I had to be at work early. It worked for us until he passed in 2016. We had many friends who thought having separate rooms was odd but we tended to compromise on the rest of the house so when they visited we were in the living area and everyone was comfortable. Good for you and Josh that you are comfortable with allowing each other to "kick back" when and where you feel at ease. I don't question that you have done so but wonder why more people haven't thought to do so!!! "Vive la difference"!!

    • @AnArtistsLifeYT

      What a beautiful story. Thank you for sharing. It sounds like you and your partner created a home that truly worked for both of you, which is what matters most. I love how you found balance by compromising in shared spaces while keeping your individual comforts. Separate rooms can be such a practical and thoughtful choice, yet so many people still see it as unusual when it really just comes down to what makes a relationship thrive. Vive la différence indeed.

    My man and I have maintained separate bedrooms since 2009 because of his snoring and it has been a game changer for us in the best possible way. In addition to us both getting to keep the hours we want regarding bed and wake-up times, it's allowed us both to develop meaningful personal morning routines before we meet up for coffee. Glad to see others in the same boat and having similar benefits.

    • @AnArtistsLifeYT

      My husband and I started sleeping in separate bedrooms in 2015 because of his snoring and extremely active dreaming-I never got a good night's sleep. We love our own schedules for going to bed and getting up but we begin the day with eating breakfast together and we now also make our own breakfasts too, eating whatever we feel like eating. I love what your'e doing in your home!

    How lovely that you shared your new sleeping arrangement with your husband. I think a lot more couples would do this if they weren't so concerned about other people's opinions. And you also showed how you and your husband have great communication skills. I'm sure you worked on this over many years. And rather than getting stuck in old tapes, you pushed through and found a new way of looking at things. Bravo, to both of you. I have a feeling you have created new openings for many of your followers. I'm sending loving and peace-filled thoughts to everyone.

    Beautiful room Cecilia! No surprises there. As far as the sleeping in different rooms goes, the fact that as a couple, you have an open and healthy dialogue about each others wants and needs and its received in an opened minded way is vastly more important for a strong relationship than sleeping on the same bed every night. Healthy communication is everything.

      No worries! When I reveal the final look of this room, I’ll share the full process, where we started, the floor selection, and all the little decisions that went into it. This video was a personal challenge for me to embrace showing work in progress since so many people requested it. But beyond that, I also wanted to add my perspective on how we approach life, hoping to inspire others to reflect and question things if they’re not feeling truly happy. Sometimes, we just need to hear a different perspective to realize what’s possible.

    Are you guys learning French?
    I was targeting Portugal like where your son lives but changed my mind to France because Portugal is like 400-500,000 visas behind!
    That’s YEARS to wait!
    If you buy a house in Portugal and you don’t get your permanent resident visa, you must heave the country, then come back, then leave again!
    That’s crazy!
    I’m wondering about France.
    They require a language proficiency test for permanent residency.

    • @AnArtistsLifeYT
      @AnArtistsLifeYT  6 дней назад

      Thank you so much! Yes, we’re learning French. My husband loves it even more than I do, so he’s better at speaking it for now, but I’ll catch up. And yes, the situation in Portugal is far from ideal. I don’t think they were fully prepared for the influx of people, and efficiency in administrative processes isn’t exactly their strong suit. That was one of the many reasons we pivoted to France. You don’t need to be proficient in French until you apply for citizenship, which happens five years after paying French taxes. So no, you can absolutely take your time to learn! I hope this helps :)

I’m considering some specialty stenciling for the bedrooms, and maybe even the bathroom, but I’m still undecided. White felt like the cleanest choice with the wood beams, but who knows? I might switch things up eventually and give my husband a heart attack! 😆

    Josh's bedroom is absolutely beautiful, it looks so peaceful and inviting for wonderful, peaceful sleeping. My husband snores, and we used to have much strife around that, so we have slept in separate bedrooms for around 8 years, we both sleep so much better now and wake up much happier. I watched a documentary about a Hasidic Jewish Rabbi and his counseling to young people getting married that sleeping in separate bedrooms would enhance their relationship because, as he said, "too much of a good thing is too much," "a little absence makes the heart grow fonder," and "can you imagine anything more romantic than the 'king' knocking on the 'queen's door?" I've often thought about some of the counsel the Rabbi shared, and after being married for 30 years, I can see much wisdom in it. -Change it up, go back, do whatever you want to... I love your wisdom too.

      @AnArtistsLifeYT  5 дней назад +1

      Thank you so much! I love that you’ve found what truly works for you both, that’s what it’s all about.

Every love story is unique, and what matters most is creating a life that truly feels right. 💛

    My hubby and I have had separate rooms for 30 years. It's great. We find plenty of time to be together. However, it's funny to see couples (guests in this case) expected to use one top sheet and one blanket. How silly. Inevitably there is a degree of tug-of-war during the night and someone loses sleep. Just cover two twin blankets with duvet covers and call it a night.
