First time viewing your channel…. and what truly matters is how YOU feel in your space! Anything we viewers have to say should RESPECT that this is YOUR home❣️ That being said, as a professional stager for 19 years (who uses a lot of black btw), I would like to offer a suggestion…. because there is a lot of high contrast with an all black/dark furniture and rug selection against white walls, softening that stark contrast with rich, warm accessories (pillows, throws, wall art etc) will bring better balance and rhythm into your space ☺️ ~ if that’s helpful, wonderful! If not, don’t listen to me 🤣 ~ above all, ENJOY your home 🏡
Thank you so much for your time in replying. I really appreciate your input because you are a professional! I enjoy decorating, but I am the client, I can't imagine doing it professionally and for someone else. I'd be stressed. I have two labradors and so my thinking behind the darker rugs was to hide the dirt because as of right now the backyard is bare (dirt). And I really wanted a light gray sofa set, but I looked for about a month and then just settled on these. I will be on the lookout for some warm accessories. The living room, kitchen and dining rooms are painted alabaster. What would you suggest for the walls? Do you think that is a good white for the space? I had an electrician do some work so I definitely will be either retouching the paint or painting it all over. Thanks again 😊
Definitely the long couch on the wall and the love seat on the walk way . Then your room will be more open. I wish I were your friend I would love to work with you, your home and deco items are beautiful❤️
You and me both! Yes, I am super curious now what it will look like. I will try it out and include it in another upcoming video. Thank you so much for that suggestion!
I just checked, it's safe 🎉 I really want to switch my stove out to gas eventually. The oven takes so long to preheat! All these appliances came with the house and they're all different brands which drive me crazy lol.
1st time watching. Looks lovely! My only critique is to paint your wall vents above the love seat same colour as your walls to blend them in. All your choices are spot on!
Great suggestion! We recently had our condo painted and the painter did that. So I will definitely do that. I plan on taking all the registers out and washing them, which that big one on the living room wall, I might replace if it doesn't clean up well. The walls are alabaster white. It would be easier just to leave them that color to do touchup but I also got a paint sample called Paris Rain which is like a gray green. It's a very light color. But I also like the white walls! So many options. 😊
That's a great idea! Definitely going to move it next time I'm there. It will be hidden, but still usable. I completed the closet under the stairs, so that was a perfect place for my Dyson! I'm so happy there's an outlet in there. Thank you so much for leaving me this comment. ❤
Hi Nona, I just watched your video and you were saying there were no Kirkland’s in Los Angeles. You’re correct but we do have Kirkland’s in the inland Empire such as Chino, Rancho Cucamonga, Fontana I believe Riverside possibly Moreno Valley so you don’t have to go all the way to Georgia for the nearest Kirkland’s to L.A.
Oh wow! I had no idea. I love that store so much. They have great sales and a great rewards program. I might have to make the drive to the inland empire next time I get an itch for home decor. Thanks so much for letting me know..and for watching my video ❤
I live here in Georgia and the recycling situation is not the same in my area. We automatically get a garbage bin size recycling bin and you have the option to have an extra one. We can recycle everything except glass. There is a place we can take our glass to recycle.
That's what my electrician said as well, he lives a city over from me. I guess it depends where you live? I know Atlanta is better as well. I'm not used to choosing a garbage company and a gas company. In LA we just choose internet, everything else we just have one company for each service. The green waste (lawn clippings etc), we have to put it in an oversized brown paper bag in GA. You'll see the process in an upcoming video. It's a learning curve. I also have to get used to not putting glass in the recycling. It feels wrong putting glass in the garbage. I'll get a routine down to make trips to the recycling center. Thank for sharing what it's like in your neck of the woods. I've been learning so much about life there. ❤
Hi Nonna, i love all your treasures! Everything is coming together so nicely. Your living room looks so cozy. Your daughter made a good call. I have that same teapot!! She is beautiful! Lol. Mine has a red bird on the top. I wonder if it's a different size? How's your landscaping coming along?
Hi Mia, thank you so much. Something happened within me; I'm loving antiques and vintage stuff. The antiques store smell reminds me of when my mom and grandma would take us kids antique shopping for HOURS it seemed. I'm surprised they don't have a candle that smells like an antique store. Not that it really smells good though, lol. I'll have to look for the teapot with a red bird. That sounds cute too! I bought the jumbo size because it had the brass bird on top. When my daughter suggested putting that picture there I was afraid it would make the room feel cluttered but nope, it needed a picture there. I only have so much wall space but so many great pictures. I guess I could rotate them. Oh my gosh, the outside!?! Ummm, we have clay soil which I had no clue!! It's so hard just to dig a ten inch hole!! And that red clay color is strong! Now that I know about it, I notice it on everyone's houses. I did mostly finish the side yards but I ran out of time to do the front and the backyard. I was out there taking measurements of the backyard during twilight. It was on my list of things to do before I left. I got my list done though! I will try to plan out what I'm going to do back there. First thing I'm doing, which I'm almost done, is taking out the pine needles they use as ground cover here. I'm using mulch. I'll have to post my yard and garden video(s) soon. I'm playing catch up in LA right now so I'm hoping I can get that edited this weekend. The grands left to s. Korea for two weeks today so I'll have time on my hands. I was in GA for 5 weeks! I missed everyone so much! How are you? Are you going back to work? Any progress with your library? In my description box, there's a link for the canvas I bought...they also have a canvas of a lady sitting in a chair reading a book...I thought of you when I saw it. Thought it would be a nice picture for your library. Do you have any really old books?
Everything came out beautifully! Just wanted to say that be mindful and for your safety don't show your license plate number because in today world you can't trust people that may be watching. I don't live to far from you in Gwinnett county moving to South Georgia but very familiar with fulton . Keep on sharing your videos.
That was actually a rental, lol. And I posted the video after I returned the rental. But I probably should've blurred it out because it wouldn't hurt to do it and you are right, you can never be too careful. I have to look to see how far you are away. I love Georgia! But California will always be home. The locals warn me of the summers, but they should be warning me of the winters. Because I love the heat and humidity in Georgia. And I love the rain in the summer! I can't wait for our first summer in the new house. I plan on sharing every room and the new house and outside! I have a lot of work to do in the backyard. Thank you so much for watching and again thank you for your great advice. See you in my next one! ❤
Thanks, unfortunately, I have to keep a darker rug because of two big dogs! And my backyard right now is dirt. I plan on working on the backyard early spring. Thanks for watching!

The pictures were absolutely beautiful.
I am obsessed with it. I could stare at it all day. ❤
Beautiful Home ❤❤❤❤
Thank you! 😊

First time watching.I overthink to but usually just walk away for awhile.Then it starts to make sense.😅
That's great advice! Thank you for watching! ❤
Wow 🥹 look so amazing !! Love vibe ❤️
Thank you so much 🤗 ❤
I was struggling for you when you were putting the rug down. It’s a beast.
Thanks for sympathizing with me because it really is a beast. Takes way longer than it needs to lol 😂
We do some of our best housework in pajamas! Ask any woman. Lovely home.
Love that!
Definitely the long couch on the wall and the love seat on the walk way . Then your room will be more open. I wish I were your friend I would love to work with you, your home and deco items are beautiful❤️
You and me both! Yes, I am super curious now what it will look like. I will try it out and include it in another upcoming video. Thank you so much for that suggestion!
Beautiful place 😊
Thanks for visiting ❤
⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️Hello! Please make sure this gorgeous kettle is suitable for induction cooktops!❤❤❤❤❤❤
Is that what my cooktop is called? Lol. I have never had anything but gas so I thought it was electric. I will definitely check! Thank you so much 😘🥰
I just checked, it's safe 🎉 I really want to switch my stove out to gas eventually. The oven takes so long to preheat! All these appliances came with the house and they're all different brands which drive me crazy lol.

My first sailboat! Thanks Lizzie. ❤

Gosh take care with your back!!
You're right. I need to be more mindful of all my bending and lifting. I have been craving a good yoga session! ❤
Love your living room. I would plug your vacuum in the outlet in the corner where you put the floor lamp to hide it.
That's a great idea! Definitely going to move it next time I'm there. It will be hidden, but still usable. I completed the closet under the stairs, so that was a perfect place for my Dyson! I'm so happy there's an outlet in there. Thank you so much for leaving me this comment. ❤

Nice but ... dark. (Maybe another color rug...)
Thanks, unfortunately, I have to keep a darker rug because of two big dogs! And my backyard right now is dirt. I plan on working on the backyard early spring. Thanks for watching!
The larger couch should go on the long wall. The short couch should be the one you see the back off. The room is unbalanced to me.
I'll have to try that out. Next time I have another adult with me because it would be super easy to try it. Thanks for the suggestion. ❤
Nice but generic.
