    Thank you for sharing your home and your treasured books with us--it was as though we were right there with you having a cup of tea and the warmth of your hospitality. We are so pleased that you are feeling better, Carlos, and are back home with Arne. We look forward to a time when you are able to travel again we can be together again in person. Happy Valentine’s Day to two wonderful people 💖 Grace and David

    It has been so much fun looking through the books with you. Hanging out at your house looking at books sounds heavenly. Maybe you should give us a tour of the giant bookcase you mentioned. Each shelf could be an episode. Kind of like how Kate from The Last Lonely House takes us with her when she goes through her boxes, suitcases, and drawers. This has been fun. Thank you.

    You opened the Anne Getty book commenting that you could never afford her work but took inspiration from many of the colours ...and there you were with your navy walls and red couch and a picture of a room with navy walls and red accents. Brilliant!

    I really enjoyed this tour through your books - both getting peeks inside as well as hearing your enthusiasm for them. I am still marvelling over the depth and breadth of art and design inspiration on that one table. A real visual feast - thanks for sharing!

    Your books give you inspiration, but your home is also an inspiration ! Your colours, your books, your treasures can also inspire. Some people have a hard time imagining what they would like their home to look like, or are afraid to be bold, but when they see a place like yours, they can say "That's it!" That's what I'm looking for! I love your eclectic look. Everything flows.

  • @caryulmer5578

    It has been a super busy week and I am finally watching this. Books! I hope they never stop making books. When the power goes out and you have nothing to do, well if you have books you do have something to do. Getting lost in books of any kind is so much fun.
    I am so happy to see you both together again

    I like it, to watch the stuff of other houses or flats, to get some inspiration.
    But we like to live with less furniture and not to much colour in one room.
    A part of our home is royal blue and white.
    Our livingroom is painted in orange with black and white furniture. Our fireplace room is painted in a warm red with yellow chairs.
    All space with us is clean, cosy and picked up fast. 😁😊
    And we have lots of books, too many books. 😁
    I love a book from Anne Geddes, with photos of newborn babies, decorated as flowers, animals and so on. Its too cute and I must smile all the time while watching them.

    Happy Valentine’s Day to my Norwegian friends! Carlos, you look wonderful and Arne, your beautiful curls are back. This was a fun and informative video. In December, you shared many lovely illustrated books by Roberto Innocenti. It took some “hunting” but I was able to find them. I now own The House, Rose Blanche, and My Clementine. I also found the big (and expensive $$) book about Gnomes. Amazon wanted $300, but I was able to find it and the other books in thrift shops. They were like new and are now on my coffee table. I hope that your friend is going to let you keep Helmer. She loves Arne! Enjoy your week and I look forward to seeing you soon! ❤️ 🥰 ❤️

    I felt sorry for myself I couldn't watch this the moment I got the notification, but we were having a power outage from an ice storm. Now we are normal and this is the first thing I watched this morning. Beautiful books, and a wonderful sense of diversity you show there, also. I've always assumed that very creative people like you can just make your own version of something "unaffordable" you admire in those grand interiors. I'd bet you have done something like that many times in your own home, which is beautiful. Thanks for the tour!

    Love seeing the artistic books🥰
    My father was a semi professional artist he painted wild animals, landscapes.
    And he also worked in a large store on displays and the grottos in the store. He sold some of his paintings to Norway,:)
    He is now nearly 90, so his hands are to shaky to paint now.
    Lovely to see you both💕

    Always very interesting to know how creators are inspired. And thanks to you who made me discover Charley Harper with the book "Animal Kingdom". I fell so in love with his work, all colourful and beautiful drawings, that I ordered, the day after your video, Todd Oldham's book "Illustrated Life" on Amazon, but wasn't able to get "Animal Kingdom". And ordered the book "Birds and Words" through a local library (I hope I will receive it). I am very excited. Thank you again. Louise from Quebec City, a bit cold (-14°C, but sunny today).
