    I've never tried decorating my space as I thought I would just suck at it. Your videos have helped so much! I've gained some confidence and have my bedroom 90% done. It makes me smile all the time. As someone who struggles with anxiety, having a well designed space is another tool in the box to help. Also, a mixing metals video would be great as I have many copper pieces that I love and am trying to incorporate them throughout my space. Thanks!

    My grandmother wallpapered the ceiling in a guest room with a medium scale rosebud pattern. Identical pink rosebuds with green leaves on a cream background. Whenever I stayed in that room, I would gaze at that ceiling in total adoration. That was 60 years ago, and I have never forgotten it.

    Over the years, we have painted our smaller rooms both dark and light colors and, honestly, dark walls and/or ceilings just don't work for us. Not only did the rooms feel smaller, but the darker colors were depressing once the novelty wore off. We've tried navy, olive, dark gray, and burgundy (one at a time, not altogether!) and the whole family agreed...not happy or welcoming spaces. We needed to compensate with more light fixtures and lamps, plus brighter/lighter colors in the furnishings, which was just too much work to make a room comfortable when a coat of paint did all that work for us. We are much happier (and our rooms are much more attractive) with lighter colors and natural light. I use dark colors in flooring or as accents to satisfy my need for contrast and interest.

    Great points! I’ve recently painted my living room dark blue except the wall facing the window- so any light (which is a bit limited tbh) is bounced back into the room. It was all white previously and you’re exactly right the colour in the permanently shadowed areas was an uninspiring dingy grey. Very pleased with my midnight blue, it’s added a whole new dimension to the space (never thought of it in terms of depth so thanks for that!). I also changed my death-by-beige furniture for lovely deep orange velvet sofas which really contrast well with the blue…and they have brass-tipped legs which has made me introduce a few other gold touches around the room even though my main metal is brushed pewter /silver. Thought it would really bother me but I’m pleasantly surprised at how well it all gels together, just by keeping to a brushed appearance. My ceiling is still white though as it runs into my kitchen space. Great video!

For example, if you have a "square" room, don't use a "rectangle" layout because it won't fit. You can use a "triangle" layout instead. Is this something you also practice when decorating?

    Wife and I were debating the merits of a dark ceiling in our hallway. I threw a swatch of paint up there while I was changing a light fixture and she was instantly sold. Hallway is 3x20, so very constraining. Going with light gray over dark gray on the walls and an even darker gray on the ceiling. Test patches look amazing.

    As much as I enjoy beautiful wood accents in a home, I think few people realize how much original wood in very old homes/ buildings was painted from its installation. Painted floors and trim isn’t exactly a new thing. Not only have I seen this in countless old homes where I live, but this information is online, too:
    “Paint. That was the traditional finish of earlier Federal style homes, of the late 1700’s, and that carried well into the 1830’s. Woodwork, baseboards, doors, wooden mantle pieces, built-ins, window and door frames were painted.”

    After I finally chose the wall colours for my bedroom and the main living areas, I went with something a little lighter for the ceiling, contrasting with white molding. For example, my bedroom is Hidden Sanctuary (1375) for the walls, with Peace and Happiness (1380) for the ceiling (both Benjamin Moore). Eight years later, and I still love it.
