    The ceiling idea is nice, but I would avoid wallpaper at all costs because of moisture’s ability to permeate the surface and cause peeling. It looks beautiful, but personally I would opt for a pop of color using paint 😊 Love your content!

    Another good thing about white towels/washcloths/hand towels? You can bleach them or use OxyClean to get them back to pristine white, no matter what happens to them. But the suggestion to use dark colored/black washcloths or hand towels when removing makeup is also brilliant because of the ability to hide stains.

    These are all great ideas but I would love a video where you give tips that involve color. Or maybe a video about how to incorporate bold colors? So many of your videos are essentially telling people to neutralize their entire home and stay away from all color. You tend to use the word "colorful" in a negative connotation; and there are just so many creative ways to make your space beautiful while also being colorful and patterned and not having to make everything white, beige, and/or generally desaturated.
