Here in Ireland, in a lot of houses, we have the radiators under the windows. Therefore not a good idea to put the bed at the window because it blocks the heat. My bedroom is my favourite room as I've just had it finished with smoked mirrored wardrobes. I love them because not only does the room look bigger but it looks kind of mysterious. For me they were a good choice.
We say that in Germany though I would have written it this way "kapische". Its an old word for understand and is a rhetoric question at the end of the sentence 😊
We use this a lot as an Spanish language speaker, In my case I apply this when I want to some body really pay attention to what I say about. God bless you.
My favorite and most versatile pieces of furniture are my modern, black leather swivel recliners. They are not the huge overstuffed type of recliner. They are very sleek and beautiful. But, mostly, they SWIVEL. Therefore, I put them next to the view window so they can be swiveled to take in the view and swiveled back for conversation and TV viewing. SO practical! Makes all living room arrangement so much easier.
I love your colour scheme. White is a definite. It brings so much light to your home and can make the rooms appear larger. White, light beige and creams mix really well. I have these colours in my home too. You never get bored of these colours. Love your home 💕
Re: bed in front of window. It may not be a problem if you don't mind living with AC all the time, but if you need to open your windows for ventilation in the summer, that placement of the bed is a really bad idea. Also, many bedrooms are starved for natural light, and the headboard in that location makes that problem even worse.
Also, a lot of times (at least in the places in Europe that I have lived), the radiators are under the windows and you should not put heavy furniture in front of them, so that the warm air can circulate in the room and you do not get mildew too quickly (at least that's said in theory and in my personal experience, it is written sometimes even in the contracts that you should not put heavy furniture in front of radiators).
Regardless the opening, in Europe almost everywhere, the newer windows can tilt open from the top, so it is not a problem to open it with the bed there...of course if you have a radiator under the window you will not put the bad there, she said it as an option...that if you have the space, don't be afraid to put it there because it is not a "design no no". But I agree, in 80% of the homes, the radiator will be somewhere near or under the window, so we can't really use that trick, although in the rooms she did it, I really liked it.
Also, it is hard to close the curtains. In northern latitudes the sun comes up really early in summer, like 3.00 am, and you want to close the light out - or if you have street lights outside.
My living room/dining room (they are one big room) is my favorite. I got so many good decorating tips from the design sessions, you and your mom! Thanks to you guys I love walking into my house and thinking it’s so pretty.
I wonder why would you turn your back to the window when you can sit up and look out and see the green and what ever is outside. I can see mooing cows and makes me smile straight away. What a way to start the day. I can also see birds in the trees they make me very happy. Waking up to see beautiful Mother Earth nothing better.🌍🌎🌏🐂🐃🐮🦬🦜🐦🦅🕊🪴🌴🌷🌻🌳
My favorite room is my living room that opens up to my glassed in lanai where I have placed my small dining room set with several large plans. The room gets good afternoon light.
Oh, my goodness! He's So Handsome! That last picture looks so much like....His grandmother! He has both your and Tyler's feathers, but something about that last picture. Congrats!!!
I live in MN. Our house is a 1961 ranch style which means there isn’t much character. However, with very large rooms in the inside, it makes great canvases for decorating! My living room is presently my favorite. We just put in new window treatments which made all the difference in comfort and color!
I always have had my bed in front of a window. I’m a bit of a conundrum, in that, I love being bundled up in bed- sweater, blanket, throw, a dog laying on me and a cat- but I hate being hot. It’s December here in rural NC, not crazy cold, so I’ll reach right behind me and just crack the window to let in a little cool air and listen to the wind when suffocated in fabric and critters :). Point being, rules are guidelines… design YOUR space, to fit all YOUR little odd needs, and it’ll be uniquely beautiful and functional.
The bed against a window thing is actually more for point of egress in the case of a fire or other emergency. If you have more than one window, not a problem to have a headboard blocking one. But if you only have only one window, it’s a bad life choice (literally) to block it.
Don't put your bed or big furniture up against a window if you need to access the window for: 1. ventilation if you don't have A/C 2. ventilation if its the only window in the bedroom and you need to "air out" the room 3. in an emergency due to a fire 4. need the natural light 5. if your furniture is made from cheaper material that will ruin/fade in the sunlight
Today, it's my garage! Cleaned it up, using "shabby chic" farmhouse elements (which would not go in my house) - a cotton runner rug and marble contact paper covering the old table. Looks lovey, and now I have a place for gift wrapping, as the ribbons, bows, tape, scissors are on shelves in cute nearby containers. Big wire basket corrals smaller gift bags. Focal point - an old white player piano - yes! In the garage. P.S. our garage is still full of stuff - no car fits in it - except for a toy car I artfully placed on the shelf, in honor of the room's original purpose ;-)
My home is small but it's hard to pick a favorite room, my husband and I have had fun working on it together! I think my favorite room is our dining room/breakfast nook. We get a lot of light so it's our plant room, and I love eating breakfast in the morning because my cat hangs out there with me.
Omg you where so helpful! Lol I just moved a week ago and all of my furniture from my last apartment is just sitting in the middle of my floor! 🤯 so THANK YOU lol I think I have a plan now
Some great tips, thank you x I’m afraid I don’t have a favourite room in my home, it hasn’t been decorated in many years and a lot of things need replaced so I’ve fell out of love with it and feels more of a burden than a pleasure to live in.
My entire house, 'cause we were building it from scratch and now we're making it into a home. I really can't choose just one area, but at the moment I'm mostly looking forward to putting together an outdoor kitchen, sitting & dining areas and pulling up finishing touches inside, incorporating family heirloom with our personal preferences.
My favorite is my bedroom also. The tempurpedic mattress and adjustable base are divine. Everything just came together perfectly to create my spa like retreat. 🥰🥰
Bed against the window, I think it depends, yes to having a headboard if you're going to do that but if the headboard is high and you only have one window in the room you're blocking a lot of the light coming into the room.
Your baby is so cute!! Congrats!! Love this video.i get a lot of ideas.i have a small house.your tips on placing furniture was great.u r so much fun to watch.hope you have a great day.May God Bless u and your family.❤
I hate rooms with windows that are not easy with creating symmetry. I do use my window behind my bed headboard. Actually, I removed the headboard to let lots of light in. It worked! I also love living room seating that is all about lounging! Deep seated chairs and the ability to stretch out like on a bed is my idea of living room furniture. I don’t just want it to look great but it needs to feel great. My home is fresh bright and comfortable. Nice job on this vlog. Love your style!
With a high head board I didn’t get that chicago fall and spring breeze I love! The pictures you showed look amazing! Guess I’ll be getting a different bed.
You never disappoint. Take as much time as you need off..... Enjoy your beautiful son 💙 😊 Capiche means Do you understand? It's slang. I think it's Italian.
Having been raised by a mom who was an obstetrics nurse back in the 40’s in Southern California ~ she had 4 reasons to not put your bed under a window...... 1. Drafts 2. Earthquakes 3. Lighting storms 4. The Lindbergh Baby. She was born in Oklahoma in 1929, during the Great Depression then later they fled to California. [grapes of wrath} Her memories of Oklahoma thunderstorms was mostly why she never let us kids have our beds under a window. I always wondered if Oklahoma thunderstorms were any different from California’s or ours here in Colorado? 🤷🏻♀️
8:20 Am a little late to the party, sharing my views anyway. First of all, congratulations, dear!! About the windows: Personally, I feel, the window is what offers a great view and fresh air. So I place my bed in a way that it faces the window so I can enjoy the view as well as the breeze. I've seen so many designers place the headboard right in front of the window, and usually my first thought is that the window is wasted in that room. I guess people would rather look at the TV than the view.
Re: bed against the window… I live in earthquake territory, I don’t want the window to break on my bed if I’m sleeping and an earthquake occurs. It’s beautiful, but I always ensure that whatever is above the head of the bed doesn’t have glass or is heavy. Our current piece of art I actually laid down and knocked it onto myself to see if it was too heavy. Definitely a startle factor, but it’s only canvas, so it passed the earthquake test.
In the Midwest in America we don't put the bed by the window because of lightening. It's a safety thing of sorts. Especially if the window or your bed frame, for example, have metal in them. It could conduct electricity and it puts you at risk of getting struck.
Here in Ireland, in a lot of houses, we have the radiators under the windows. Therefore not a good idea to put the bed at the window because it blocks the heat.

Oh...Ireland! 😍 hello from a fellow Irish gal!
My favorite room is my bedroom. It's my little sanctuary 💗
Capeesh/Capisce: Italian slang for “you understand” or “yes I got it”
Except in Italian we never use the present indicative: capisci, but the past participle: CAPITO?
It's American pseudo-Italian slang
We say that in Germany though I would have written it this way "kapische". Its an old word for understand and is a rhetoric question at the end of the sentence 😊

One nice thing Sharrah has lived in several different homes and is able to share different design ideas from these homes.

Yes… I’m convinced now… My bed is going against the window! Done! Thank you♥️🙏🏽🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Capisci'? Is italian slang, means: do you understand?
The answer is "capito!"
My favorite room right now is my newly renovated master bath!

My sun room so much light, view of the lake, so calm browns and blue decor

All true! I also just want clear access to open the window 🤷🏻♀️
Its also a Feng Shui design basic not to place your head against a window.
I totally agree..
Don't put your bed or big furniture up against a window if you need to access the window for:
1. ventilation if you don't have A/C
2. ventilation if its the only window in the bedroom and you need to "air out" the room
3. in an emergency due to a fire
4. need the natural light
5. if your furniture is made from cheaper material that will ruin/fade in the sunlight
and if you have the window open, dirt will come in and what ever is under it will get dirty.
I love how you do a question for each video! My favorite room currently is my kitchen. Just remodeled and so warm and inviting😍

I’m afraid I don’t have a favourite room in my home, it hasn’t been decorated in many years and a lot of things need replaced so I’ve fell out of love with it and feels more of a burden than a pleasure to live in.
The Kitchen is my favorite followed by the Man Cave.

I live in a 424 square foot condo and love how small my space is. I have a round 24" wide dining table and two chairs.

Blocking the window is a fire / emergency thing but also: you cannot open it fully to properly ventilate the room and might get
mites!
Some rooms are so small there is no option
@@family-peace-love yeah thats true of course
Very hard question! I think my most favorite is my dining room because it feels perfectly out together and the style is very dialed in.
