As a interior design myself, I FEEL for this designer. Most clients articulate what they want and when you give them that, they don’t like it. It’s very common. I find it’s easiest to spend quite a bit of time in the concept image phase of a project to really make sure you and your client are on the same page. It’s harder than it seems, especially with extremely particular clients.
When I first saw the house tour video, I honestly thought it was the most beautiful house I've ever seen. When looking at the designs .. I hated every single proposal. Change the designer or better yet, take the time to do it yourself. Slower, but to fit your taste and style.
Agreed! The designs are nice but it’s not complimenting the house at all. They look like penthouse apartment rooms
Feeling the same :(
The designs they suggest have no soul.
Yes!! Came here for this comment!
Agreed. It looks like they are decorating for a hotel. A really beautiful, elegant and expensive hotel.
I feel like Valeria wants something cozy, where she feels at home not at a hotel but still put together, I get her. The interior designer is amazing and talented, it is always hard to communicate with clients especially the ones who change their mind all the time.
I an honestly amazed at all the comments here and how quick people are to hate on the designer.
First of all, designers are not mind-readers. You need to communicate what you want, just as with everything else. When Valeria says she doesn’t like brass, the designer says she received a questionnaire (or whatever) where V indicated she most preferred brass. And that’s why she used it in her project. It’s perfectly understandable to feel confused, even irritated when you receive such conflicting feedback.
And yes, one shouldn’t just go with whatever the designer shows them when it doesn’t feel right. It is their home and it’s important it reflects their needs, taste, lifestyle and personality. But you (not Valeria per say, but each one of us using a design service) need to understand that you need to be clear about your wishes and cannot expect to change the brief all the time. In fact, most designers charge extra if you disregard everything you’ve agreed upon and make them start all over. The designer said at the beginning she received a completely different brief a week ago, threw everything in the garbage and started from scratch. Now that’s not something you can do again and again. A designer doesn’t only work for you - they have other projects and clients. We obviously don’t know their contract, but usually that’s extra work and extra hours and it’s not the designer’s fault that the client changed their mind. How would you feel if you’ve been working on something for weeks, months even and your boss comes in days before the presentation and tells you you’re doing something totally different instead and need to start all over?
Again, this comment is not directed at Valeria, as she says multiple times in the video and in the comments that she acknowledges this difficulty. But my goodness, people - have a bit more respect for others’ work, please
exactly my point !i fully agree! it felt sorry for the designer thatI`m sure will read these negative comments and its not her fault.
I feel that the designer should watch some videos when Valeria visits France for Chanel show- she seemed very happy with the interior design out there. And as a European I feel the same vibe!
Agree and being on phone all time while someone presents work is simply rude. It was not once, it was over and over again, both of them. YOU CAN WAIT 30 MINUTES OR MORE WITH REPLIES, Goddamn.
@@myriamjerdak5343 it depends on the contract. Usually you have only a certain number of changes calculated in the price. The reason for that is that you don’t only work for one single client and when you have others whose projects need to be pushed back because of redesigns, then that’s a problem. Speaking as someone with over a decade of experience working as an architect and interior designer 😉
@@myriamjerdak5343 perhaps I didn’t explain too clearly. There’s different ways in which designers work, but the majority makes money predominantly from executing the projects and purchasing. For the majority of interior design firms, very little money is made from the actual design phase. So it does matter for the company if it has 10 different clients and 10 completed projects in one year or just one small project. They are also potentially missing out on other maybe bigger projects - a hotel, retail etc. My point is that we need to be respectful of the business of whoever we have working for us. The mentality that if you hire someone, they have to do whatever you say because you’re paying is just not okay. And let’s not forget that a company can also fire a client, not just the other way around. It actually happens a lot in the interior design industry.
@@myriamjerdak5343 it’s especially in the luxury segment that the large portion of profits comes from purchasing. With budgets in the millions, even a 10% margin is more than tenfold of what you make during the design phase.
And it’s especially the top designers that are extremely picky when choosing their clients. It goes both ways.
This house design is giving a “beige mom” vibes. I see you more eclectic and traditional. Functional and home feeling design is what you want to see.
Maybe I’m wrong.
Love your family ❤️
Definitely trying to add more of that in!
I was thinking the same. That house is too beautiful to be white/beige...You are effortlessly beautiful and welcoming with a touch of vavavoom. If you could bring that with the character of Gary (this is just my assumption, but I think that more of a "character" house with warmth suits him) and the vibrancy of the kids together you'll all feel at home.
YES!!
Stick with your gut reaction.. youre not being difficult..its your home!!! Needs to feel like a home where both adults and kids needs are met.. dont be pressured into anything you dont want😊😊
She is difficult!! I would fire valeria as a client
@@mrs1758 I doubt it. The designer gets a lot of exposure through this. And charging a lot, I'm sure.
@@mrs1758 well bye then, there are plenty others lol your loss only 😂
I feel like 90% of the journey is figuring out what you don’t want. It gives you the confidence to truly know what you do!
100%. I feel like I’m not sure exactly what I want but I DEFINITELY know what I DONT want
Because have so many options in mind and it will be harder for you (and especially for your designer to re planning everything) if keep looking for more and more, because I think you have an idea what you really want. but because you have so many options by social media ur needs and wants keeps changing and changing Just meditate and think deeply want you really want and need… ur house will not be finished if you keep changing ur want.. maybe stick to the basics first. ❤
Gary is giving me life
I feel like you should check other more grounded (down to earth) design options, these designs look kind of cold and far away from your family vibes.
My designer advice to people who don’t know where to start would be look up some RUclips videos of different design styles, write down and take screenshots what you like or don’t from each one and then take that to your designer. A picture speaks more than thousands words sometimes.
Also pro tip: if you want a house that doesn’t look straight out of a catalogue try to mix styles and don’t worry about having it all together so soon. The best houses are built over time, that way every corner you see has a bit of family history
👏🏼❤
I feel like the biggest problem is a designer that makes you feel uncomfortable about changing directions. You want her to catch your vibe, which I do not see happening from her reactions, but just lots of pressure just to PICK. If she'd make you feel comfortable you'd better articulate the needs. At the end of the day, you are the one to pay, please do not feel pressured into anything. Good luck!
You're definitely right.
So true!
With you Valeria! Hold your grounds until you get a wow reaction! Xoxo
I agree!:)
Totally! If this is our forever home, it has to be IT
I low key love these home reno updates. I love seeing you, your family, and your team just bustling and planning -- brings me joy. Its starting to love gorgeous! 😍
Thank you! So excited to see it all come together
I really think you should get an other Designer! Can't imagine how you'r feeling in this kind of situation...feels like you are working for her and she is anoyed of you!
yeah its very not professional
What, where did you see that the designer is annoyed by her? I think she was rather sweet and just normal
Valeria, I,too, am a European transplant...with disdain for this modern aesthetic your designer has grabbed onto. She perhaps does not feel or understand
your soul. Don't let her buy anything else lol.. None of this looks like you, other than perhaps a few chandeliers.
Have her take you to a store so you can point out pieces you love and she should be able to construct a cohesive rendering from your choices.
All this looks like cold pieces at high retail pricing.
Just my two cents.
But please enjoy this wonderful process of creating a home in the tropics :))
Am I the only one who thought about Studio McGee while watching it? I feel they are close to the style that Valeria wants and they would have done an incredible job.
I feel like your designer is not getting what you're looking for because it's too overwhelming for you thinking you want all the work to be done as soon as possible. Have you given her a vision board for each room or is this why you hired her.
You deserve it that way YOU want it. Stand firm.
I know we don't see a lot but I myself would feel better with a designer that is more laid back and listening without the jokes and " she'll change her mind if we give her too much time" It's your forever home and her job. 😮
Glad you're defending your vision when you have such strong voices around ! It must also look like you to be a home !
So I am a Render Artist and an Interior Designer and seeing your reaction to renders and how you say "it looks like you play Sims" just cracked me up! I think I understand what vibe you want for your house. Would have loved to work with you if I was in the US. Wishing you luck and always listen to your guts. And remember to make it practical and usable, always imagine in your head how you would see this or that design in real everyday life.
Oh my god I love how you are being honest with the interior designer and how difficult it is to just say “I don’t love it”, but it’s a one time (or maybe two) in a life project and you might as well just be picky and have what YOU want! And I love how you say that in your mind “this is vintage” and on the perspective shown by d the designer, it’s totally different and you are scared to tell what’s in your mind 😂 happened to me as well! Good luck with the remodeling, I’m sure it will be perfect! And add some big plants in some rooms, it helps giving this “lively/earthy” thingy!
I’m glad you’re advocating for what you really want! It must be overwhelming to have so many options, plus a language barrier you have to translate every thought! ❤
Valeria, you have been so often to Europe so I totally get the vintage design you search for and why you don't like those marble uncosy soulless ideas they give you. I hope you get the design you would really love ❤️
Valeria, I believe you have the wrong home designer. You need someone that understands your taste,wants and needs. You need to love your house and feel that is home. Stand firm for what you really want.
I’m definitely the problem though 😂
Girl yes this designer is too modern style and doesn't get your vibe
Valeria, this is my first time commenting.. i was looking for this comment to don't need to write one.. but please, get another designer.. this one is sweet, but she is so far from your taste.. 🙈 she likes modern style, nothing traditional in her styling.. sorry to tell.. but you deserve, that someone told you.. your souls just doesn't match.. you are so much more, than this shop 'everybody likes - safe', modern design.. 🙏😘💕
💯 true! Designer doesn’t feel you
I felt the same.
Honestly nothing against the designer but I would change it, in things like this, you want someone who can understand your style and vision and also be experienced in what you are looking for, she seems to be experienced in modern and in trend things vs, more deep understanding of timelessness and bold details, you need a space that is both functional but also express your video in life, think of emotions you want to feel while at home, moods, light, movement, flow, textures, metals, earthiness, temperature, ect. There needs to be a discussion about this before you even come up with a design. I would say based on your comments to look into eclectic, georgian, morrocan, minimalistic and traditional, I feel like a mix of these is what you guys could work on.
I feel like the Studio McGee style is what your vibe would be. The most perfect mix of modern, traditional with the occasional boho and MCM touches. I highly recommend checking them out for inspo!
Oh just checked it out and I think I quite like it
Wrong designer completely, she shouldn’t make you feel silly or get annoyed she needs to work with you. The vision for this house needs to be Soho house vibes 😅
Hi Valeria, thank you so much für posting this video!
It's really encouraging to see a woman standing up for her opinion and not letting go. I love how you didn't just give in because you said no so often already. Thank you! Such a great example for younger women or people in general!
Hilarious that people are blaming the designer! Did we all watch the same video? Did you catch the part where V changed her mind a week ago and the designer had to scrap her original designs? Anyone who knows anything about design knows that one small change can change EVERYTHING and when the client communicates that they like something and then claims that they do not it again changes EVERYTHING! Do you know how long it takes to render 1 room? 5-12 hours depending on the details. It couldn’t be further from the Sims. She put her kids in picture frames for crying out loud! I’m so tired of this clickbait because that’s exactly what it is. A dramatic headline to pull people in, but this could be very damaging to someone’s livelihood and I bet you couldn’t care less as long as you have your views and likes. I keep seeing people say that your style is more McGee and Co 😂 . Do yourself a favor and go to target and buy all the farmhouse California coastal that your heart desires and be as basic as the rest of them ✌️
This was my FAVORITE video of yours. Soooo relatable. When we were building I was ready to rip every hair out of my head. What a cool process of renderings your designer has👏👏👏 I’m excited to see the finished product. Thanks for sharing❤
I really love to see how you evolved. It's so inspiring to see how assertive you are and how you speak your mind ❤️
I feel like you want something like Nicole Scherzinger's house as it looks modern and contemporary but is still warm and cozy at the same time
Loved seeing the renos! It gave me a good laugh because it's so challenging when you're a bit confused by what you want and Pinterest overwhelms you even more with so many options and you have an idea in your mind but it's hard to articulate to someone else haha good luck in this process, you'll find what's right for you. Sometimes it's just in choosing and sticking with it.
Valeria please make more videos about fashion!! It seems like it's been a century since your last video that included fashion trends/outfits. Now it's a great opportunity to make a video for transitional early spring outfits!
I think the issue here is you're rushing to "complete" your home, when in reality the pieces that you will cherish are going to take time to find over several years... only YOU know what you like and sometimes you won't be able to explain or describe to someone else why you like this quirky piece of furniture or seemingly random colour combination etc. Overall, the designs beautiful but there's no character or charm attached to them. I'd also advise adding more pops of colour here and there through art or a cool vase, a lamp... anything really
this. slowly build the homw with specific pieces. makes it more authentic.
I feel like lots of wood is missing. Warm toned tho. I think that would make the home feel more comfortable and earthy.
V have you looked into more Studio McGee designs? I feel like that might be a bit warmer and add character anddd just enough ‘vintage’ charm to your home. I think it might be something you are looking for. Love ya ❤ So excited for you guys 🎉
Good suggestion 💫 I love their interior designs
maybe create a pintrest board of just the 'vibes' and aesthetic you like. Don't overthink it, just save pins you like the look of and give that to a designer to do something with.
So so waiting for the final renovated look…This was so overwhelming designing…😁…Bravo…!!!
The house is pure perfection! I am so looking forward to see with what design you will go in the end! So exciting! 🧡
Valeria make a pinterest board with all the design styles you like and narrow it down from there 😊 i feel like you give your designer a style direction and she does a whole turn so maybe just tell her its hints of this and that with images so she understands your vision❤
Change designer!!! The spaces have no personality 🤨 you have such personality when you dress, your spaces should be an extension of you!!!
Green striped pool loungers… look at soho house… Miranda kerrs Malibu home … this is perfect for those vibes ❤
Maybe try looking at some Modern Organic, Wabi Sabi, and Japandi designs for some Inspo for that Zen feel you're after without the polished matchiness.
Love all the home videos!! Keep them coming ❤
Thank you! Lots more on the way
Loved Jakes room so much! Super fun but still sophisticated.
I like your designer. If you don’t like what she shows you it’s your money you can be as picky as you want. It seem like she’s trying her best to understand your style.
It will all be completed soon.
All the best ❤
What is the point of buying an older home with charm just to remove all of the character from it?
Hello Valeria! This is such a incredibly gorgeous home. I love this vlog so much. You have such elegant and sophisticated taste. It will look so incredible and beautiful once all the designing and decorating is done. This is so exciting.stand your ground so you get what you want. This is your dream home. Love you so much Valeria! Love,Janice and Larry Watson Pittsburgh PA USA
As a Virgo, I relate so much to your reactions! Also agree with a few of the other comments here saying the design is that of a beautiful hotel but doesn’t feel homey. Feels too cold and staged to me. And yes to your comments about more storage, including shoe storage. Design needs to be functional and take into consideration your family’s daily needs!
This is one of my favorite videos. Is so funny. A big applause for the designer and for gary. Valeria i feel you, the doubt is a total virgo thing.
This process was so interesting to watch. And I could feel how intense it was for you!!! You’re so strong and stick to your guns on what you want. And pray or meditate about the right vision for your glorious home. It will come to you!!!! you’re such an inspiration to me in so many ways. First off as a mother , a wife , your style and lifestyle is just stunning. You’re doing brilliant babe. Much love always from Colorado ❤
Upscale vintage with a nod to some boho touches for individuality, comfort and warmth.
I think what Valeria is trying to articulate is that the options don't feel personal enough to say this is "my home". I completely agree that the bedroom is giving the four seasons, but she also needs to give the interior designer more details to work with to make the designs feel more personal and detailed
Omg great tiling really does just elevate a home! *chef kiss*
From experience..we just did a reno on our apartment this year, we didn't take a designer but i came up with some small design ideas and although my hubby didn't get me at first, he let it go and eventually he really loved how it turned out..and there were points that he wanted to be a yes-man to the contractor and just get things going but, i insisted on some things and it turned out to be amazing, so it was worth a bit of bickering 😂😅. i suggest to really Insist on doing the most of what you would like even if it, again, drags a bit..also, over time the house will take the character of you all that live there and the design will feel less rigid and more warm and cozy..good luck!
Jamassss me había sentido tan idententificada Jajajajajaja con tu "si, pero no". Siento que este tipo de situaciones en general son estresantes, ademas de que el ver tu casa "sin terminar" añade mas presión a querer tener todo ya mismo. Pero es mejor ir despacio pero seguro. Mis mejores deseos para toda tu família.
It feels like Valeria and the designer can't find common ground. And the project are too light. I get Valeria's point that Jake room is too feminine. I think natural wood would help in this design. Also for such Miamis house, I lack green colour in the interiors that would reflect the outside. And wrong designer...
Maybe show them pictures of your former homes to get a sense of what you gravitate towards. I always saw more traditional glam in your previous homes. Maybe the old Florida glam style would be more fitting. Beautiful detailing, but not cluttered
I dont think this interior design is what you are looking for. I would keep it traditional, classy, but go playful with details and furniture. But keep it functional. The ideas were for me more of a display room and less like home. I dont think this is the right vibe for you... And the comment section is not feeling it either.
Valeria! Your opinion is so good! It would be soo much better to keep more of the vintage vibe, much cozier as well. Just one thought 🥰
You should add some wallpaper behind the headboard in your masterbedroom, there are such beautiful murals with designer wallpaper
I think you should choose timeless furniture. They will always look classy and never go out of style
I just have to say I’m beyond excited for the podcast 💞
Most beautiful home is not about about a certain 'vibe' that people try to have, but a expression of personality of the people living in as well as the house itself over years and years. ''Impressive'' house has ''vibe'' yes, but beautiful home has personality. That is why we all love old houses so much. It might be a disservice to both the house and the family when you change a lots of things over a short period of time right after moving in. Because you like the personality of the house when you first saw it, you bought it. Then you remodel to the point of nothing looks the same, and so you might end up disliking it...
Would be perfect to have a design that even when you have a mess it(and please, every parent knows with kids there is always a mess) still looks good. I feel like today designers makes projects that need to be perfect clean to actually look good and it is impossible in real life. Because life is full of colours. Maybe some Hamptons style would be more cozy and little bit vintage for you Valeria. Lots of love❤️
I actually think its the opposite. Life is messy, so you want a clean base and style that can be cluttered with other things and still look somehow Good. You don’t want to start with already cluttered atmosphere of your home and that even add to it later.
Yes you are right. But I didn’t mean it needs to be cluttered, it is just one colour in this project just like Valeria said like in a studio not a real house.
I feel a bit sorry for the designer. She is constantly interrupted, has to go along with weird jokes, never gets a true positive appreciation, and her clients go on their phone meanwhile she presents her work to answer messages they cannot answer 15 minutes later ....
Love everything about you Valeria!!
❤️❤️
You can always use your bedroom nightstand as sidetables in the family room (the one with the huge couch and picture frames on wall) if it's proving too difficult to incorporate the nightstands in your master bedroom design.
those renderings are soooo pretty
I've just binged your vids! Love your family, relationship, design eye I could go on!!... Oh if love to work with YOUR vintage not actual vintage 💙💙💙✨✨✨
We will definitely need the final reveal!
Feels like you're looking for more warmth, organic textures and cosy vibes with classic pieces rather than sleek/modern 😊 this white/beige scheme is beautiful but it doesn't feel homey (like you said, feels like straight out of a catalog)...it could use some depth, in texture and color ?
It's hard when you don't have the right words to describe what you want, but it also feels like maybe the designer doesn't understand your vibe 😕 anyway good luck with everything and the outcome will be beautiful!
Renders are beautifully done…. It seems you are not sure what you want? Why not take the time to find a few furniture pieces you love. Introduce them to the designer. It looks like you have a wonderful relationship with your designer and she seems to be working hard to meet your expectations but it’s hard when those expectations keep changing…I’m sure your home will turn out beautiful and you’ll have beautiful space to start creating years of wonderful memories.
Loved this video, so interesting to see all the process! Thx so much for sharing.
At 12:30 Gary was right. it felt too modern for you and the seats will feel outdated fast.
That family room is so 😍
I loved the bedroom so much but I understand if you are not comfortable.
So true!
Hi Valeria! Me again; I was watching Kinwoven Robeson design…..and she mention different kind of kitchen tops like quartzite, granite and others that are probably what you want they are harder and beautiful this was 8 or 9 days ago
i think you should find pictures of rooms that you like that you could give your designer.. descriptive words are not enough because it's too confusing. take the photos you like and point out what elements you find attractive. i find when i create a pinterest board the same things i love keep being brought up again and again and again
I’ve seen Kinwoven a RUclips decorator she is awesome. You are correct that house if it’s going to be your forever home all needs to be like you like it. I always buy architectural Digest magazines and watch them on RUclips
I dont know the work looks very unprofessional I cant imagine someone reacting to me like that when i pay them money
Reacting like what? She didn't do anything wrong
I think you should talk to @Sarah’s day. She has great ideas and she recently made a really good video about home design. Good luck!
Have a look at the modern f Provence style. I think it will suit you the most. The style that the designer showed its way to modern for this type of houses , it's more for recent trend modern glass houses with hight ceilings. You need a more cozy atmosphere with some vintage details in the interior
The interior designer is sooooo uncomfortable to deal with 😅
What the?!?! The house is a stunner you don't need to be doing all this. Actually not anyone else's place to tell you what to do with your home but I think it looks better now vs what it's going to be after a million dollars is dropped on it.
I so feel this pain and confusion…going through a remodel too…and more options only make things more confusing!
I really loved your original vision…the ultra modern vibe looses the warmth and coziness of it all.
I am doing a modern twist on traditional as well. God help us both.😂🙏🏻
Such a shame 😢 this house was beautiful and had flavour… the beautiful terracotta roof. And now is just a standard North American house. Less changing and more embracing
To each their own!
I don't know if your designer is a mom of multiples as well but it feels like the kids rooms weren't made by a mom. They were giving me hotel vibes. They weren't personal enough
Omg Gary!!! Hahahah this is to funny!!! 😂😂😂
i love these house vlogs!
I so much adore you know what’s not right for you and stick to your vision. I was curious to check what the designer had to offer and I freaked out to see she offered you one more standard Floridian soulless vibe. No-no-no!
I feel like transitional, mid-century modern styles would suit you much more.
The designer is awesome, and I love Valeria, but I cry here hahaha 🥲🔫
Hello Valeria ❤️💖💖great vlog as always....I love it your new roof is fabulous.❤️❤️💯..and the work you did around the pool was fantastic
I repaint mine last week it s a dark red I m. So 😊 happy
. I did love every design that Britney presented...c etait super..can t wait to see what you and Gary will choose..beautiful house...always a pleasure to see you and your family sending love from beautiful haiti ❤️💖💖🇭🇹🇨🇭
Not sure if this is the right designer for you guys. She's very defensive and almost every room had problems. Doesn't seem like she's actually designing for you. This is a family home. The kids rooms are bland and have no character or joy.
Hope you work everything out!!
I don't know how the designer didn't start crying
Love this family so much ❤️
Is so sad that the people like to put hate on other. From my perspective the designer is doing a great work, this thing never take like one reunion because this is the house when a family is goint to growth, is a big thing, and for other hand Valeria and Gary, even with the yes or no, are doing what they thinks is better for their home. Please if you are no making a kind comment please don't comment then.
I know you feel rush to take decisions and to get your house done, but the best decision are thought through. Take your sweet time, the house is going nowhere xxx I love your family
couldn't envision the pool construction properly, but hopefully you will reconsider the two-step stairs around it (if that's what your designer is offering) for the sake of safety - it might be too pointy and dangerous for the kids
good luck with the renovation! it is genuinely a nerve-testing moment
Such Russian hubby moments: cute and annoying at the same time. "Wear the shoes", "didn't talk to me", "wait for that tile".
Gary really is alergic 😂😂❤
Check out some Wasabi Wabi designs for bedroom inspo. If feels modern but earthy and calming
Thank you for the rec!
