?? am I weird. We set the table for every meal. napkins, candles, music ... I always told the kids 'nobody is more special than us" .
I think that’s a great practice to have! Such a great way to practice and show your family self care also!
I think that is wonderful and oh so special. Great mom!!🌹
Nope. We use linen napkins for every meal!
Love this
Aw, that’s cool. Did not grow up with that (table always though), and don’t know anyone who goes to that much effort. I love that though, what you told them is such a great message in a world that diminishes our value and esteem. Simple way to add an extra touch of self-love/care. 👏👏👏
When I think of a sophistocated person, I think of someone who, because they are intential and authenic and have their own life under control. are able to concentrate on others and do it with ease. Sophistocated people radiate peace and humility.
Wow, you described sophisticated people perfectly. You absolutely nailed it, what a beautiful and true definition.
Hi Valentina and Jack, greetings from Melbourne. Ok, handtowels do my head in when they are damp after someone else has used them, I can't bare to touch them. When I was in the U.K. in 2018 I visited a local pub and in its powder room was beautiful William Morris wall paper, the colours were stunning. What the pup had done was they had a local artisan make 2 beautiful wicker baskets. One was on a bench and it was stuffed full of different colored rolled up supersized very good quality super thick flannels (face washers) . The pub had picked the colours to complement the wallpaper. There was a little sign inviting patrons to choose any one they wished and when they were finished to drop it in the basket below. I tried it out, brilliant no more damp handtowels and good for the environment too. Just love your videos too.😁👍👍
Seriously LOVE this! I hate drying my hands on a fresh but obviously used hand towel.
Such a great idea! Also very sustainable! Maybe make these out of dead stock fabrics would be a great idea! Thanks for the idea!
@@pepperwell4297 never happen, my hands stay with me at all times, wet or dry....🖑🖐
I agree. I have a wicker basket full of paper napkins in my guest bathroom. Too much risk of spreading germs by using hand towels.
Wet hand towels are gross. 😂
You are the definition of a sophisticated woman. I enjoy your take on everything and learn so much. Thank you!
Okay I have been silently carrying this observation around with me for a long time and your part about the pitchers just made me burst out laughing at this memory: My job once took me to a fancy dinner at an ambassador's residence... aaaand they had sparkling water on the table in 1,5 liter plastic bottles from a discounter supermarket brand. Not even a more posh version of bottled water that is available in standard glass bottles, nope. It was the humongous ALDI water bottle. I cringed silently. It can happen to anyone.
I feel more sophisticated just for watching!Love all your ideas
I planted a small hydrangeas hedge (3) in front of the year last year so I can use the flowers in my vases. Best idea because I use to buy them and they are expensive. I also plant annuals like tulips and alliums which I can use inside also. My front yard is small so I can't do much but I am intentional about what I like with the thought of what would look great in my home as cut flowers. I'm new to gardening just started last year lol but I've done great so far.
I agree with music & speakers. ❤️ We often have jazz playing in the background. And I will rock out to really loud music & dance around the house when I’m here alone. HA!!! We had a Savant system and in-ceiling speakers installed throughout our home (including both outdoor patios). We can play our TVs/streaming services through the speakers and also have our iPhones, Spotify, & Sirius XM connected. It is not inexpensive; yet, I highly recommend!!! 🎸🎼❤️
I think a pad on your dining table is important also … baffles the sound of plated, cutlery and glasses on the wood and it protects the table from heat and moisture.
Flowers from Costco (especially roses) are great. I buy flowers for myself every week.
This is a tip I got from all the mature ladies in my family too!
I love the flowers at Trader Joe’s.
I agree. My husband brings me home flowers weekly. Friday flowers!
I loved this lesson! I actually preached a sermon last week in Irmo SC about extending hospitality at the table. You highlighted the basic message about focusing on your guest and making them comfortable. It’s not about you but about providing hospitality. That’s the way to live a good life. Thank you for sharing!
My husband and I are buying our first home this September and I have been BINGE watching your channel for the last couple weeks! I wish I could just copy and paste some of your house into our new one 😂 thank you for these videos!!
Thanks for encouraging me to live with elegance! Just the most simple effort can make such a difference.
You are appreciated!
Hi Valentina! I wanna thank you for the IKEA videos. I always find the store overwhelming. Fortunately we have YOU! I consider you my style advisor. My husband is INCREDIBLY grateful. Now I don't take weeks to make a decision. I simply say Valentina recommended it!!!!!
If you live in a rural area or are at your cabin with well water don't invest in white towels, hard water will stain them and bleach will not help. I have chosen pure black for that reason and they are just as beautiful.
Oh my gosh, I love a good pitcher! I love putting out a big glass of water with some cucumbers and lime. So good.
Valentina thank you for all this beautiful suggestion, I I really appreciate everything you share. Also, that was a great idea to turn the print behind you. I didn’t like the way it looked behind you before, but now looks a lot better. ❤️❤️
I bought the vase. Both sizes. I do not live near an IKEA. Only went once in my life, years ago.
So I ordered online. Very pleased. Thanks for the tip 💗
You’re so welcome!
Thank you so much for the suggestions! They're great and actually resonate a lot with my style. I wish I could afford the more expensive things, but these options are really beautiful and spark joy.
I definitely agree with Jack! You have to have beautiful music playing throughout the house! I just ordered the speaker! Hopefully, it’s as amazing as it is beautiful!
I always reach for the clear vases, agree! Wall speaker is intriguing! I will check that out.
You are soo amazing, love your laugh and the Ikea videos! Always an inspiration and a must-go-to before you wish to visit the Ikea store again!
Having the water and ice in the refrigerator door is a must for me. I use it several times a day. I grew up where you had to make the ice cubes in those metal trays and it was always empty. So that is my top priority when I buy that refrigerator.
Love this video!!! accesible quality items you won’t cry if damaged ❤️❤️ Thank you soo much 🙏🌷
I love your videos and find them so binge worthy 😊 Can you do a video about dining rooms that double as a work space??
I loved the ideas and will find local items to replicate. Thank you for always plugging us in. 🌺🌺
Decanting only for red wines though, they improve with the touch to air, not white wine (hence why the red wineglass is big and wide and the white wineglass is smaller)
Pitcher is gorgeous! Love your channel! Thanks for sharing!
Love , love this video !! I’m in the process of moving from a big house to a cute 2 bedroom shore cottage and love these ideas ! My hubby and I are excited to downsize and look forward to intimate gatherings ! Those speakers 😲! What kind of music do you guys usually listen to ? I love playing Melody Gardot and Emilie -Claire Barlow during wine and cheese gatherings 🥰
I love this video! I was just looking for Finger towels for my guest in our Powder Room.
Great ideas from a sophisticated woman!! Loved the speaker! Thanks for sharing 🌹
Thoroughly enjoyed this presentation and agree with the reasoning.
Hi, Val! OMG those speakers!! Haven't seen them here in our Ikea in Prague, but I really hope they will have them soon! Thanks for sharing, great choices ;) hugs
Always enjoy your IKEA videos. I am going on Friday and I can’t wait. I always feel like singing like you. I live in Louisville, KY and the closest is in Cincinnati.
i would love to see some high-end luxury design - hope you are all having fun in Alys Beach
Great video! I need to grab more of those cylinder vases for my collection! Love the agreeance regarding ambient music (people: we don't need music, it's fine. Me: We. Need. Music.). I also feel inspired to make my powder room an exciting experience for guests. Awesome vid!
I don’t know why I can’t stop watching her. I have a totally different style and am moving towards minimalism. Yet I just adore her and have an appreciation for those that can manage every detail.
Love your videos! I am sorry that there is a lot of repetition in the latest videos. But I am still watching, thank you for your work🖤
I love all of these recommendations. Always look forward to your vlogs. Im looking for timeless furniture pieces that wont break the bank. Do you have any go-to places you shop for furniture for your clients?
I'm going to get the Synfonik for sure. ❤️
Huge Sonos fan, can’t wait to check that speaker out, not sure I can integrate it, loved the lamp / Sonos speaker they did last year, I didn’t buy that either.
Love the speaker/ pictures!👍🏻
love the navy blazer.
I have the IKEA deep dish bowls which are brilliant when I'm serving pasta and meatballs as well as being deep, they look great. Also I use them for salads. I have the long oval dishes too which are good as you can put a sandwich, chips, pickles, olives etc. all on one long plate.
I have a table cloth but prefer really nice place mats.
I live in Spain and you can buy a fridge with an icemaker etc. but it isn't the norm. Large bottles of water are so cheap that's what most people use.
What a stunning blazer!
That speaker is my absolute favorite item!!!
Hadn’t see that speaker frame yet, so rad!
Just picked up a sommardrom tray yesterday from the as-is section! Every so often you get a great deal there, I got it for six bucks!
I grew up with a pitcher in the fridge. We don’t do that but when u mentioned it, I remembered that. Small things u don’t think of
Hate to say this but in my book anyone who has IKEA in their home , isn't.... wow you changed my mind !! Thank you . xx
Love your videos!!! ❤️
Thanks so much!
Valentina I like the idea of scented pillar candles.. I love scented candles but I’m having a hard time recycling the jar/tumbler/ from yankee candles and B&BW 🤦🏻♀️ I stopped buying them about 2 years ago for environmental reasons.. thanks for this idea 😍
This was great I have to watch it again
Oh my favorite were the candles, the water pitcher and glasses
In my happy place talking Ikea and overview by Valentina 🗣 arrhhhaaa🎉
I love your style!..
I realized I'm actually not a sophisticated person at all, never been the type to follow fashion whether its clothing or furniture. Also never would have thought things like a beverage pitcher actually makes a big difference to people. But I like listening to these videos and it can give some inspiration. I do want the place around me to look beautiful, which is where my interest for interior design lies (although this video seem more focused on parties). But I far from have it perfect at all times, it does get messy, and its also limited what I can change since I dont own my apartment.
I actually never use candles because I'm worried about the fire safety. I feel I could far too easily knock a candle over by accident, I have knocked over things before a few times. And either way its something you cant forget about once its on, which makes it hard to relax with when you're alone. I still think they are pretty, and give good atmosphere. Anyone else feel the same way?
I love to use linen guest towels, I have some that were my grandmothers , they wash beutifully and love the monogram on them, but I have also bought some recently by Solino Home, through Amazon, they are beautiful, soft, absorb well and more over durable. Also, I decant everything even ketchup and mustard for the table. My children now in their early twenties are doing the same, even my 21 year old son who is in college:)
P.S. re: typos- yesI can spell, I am just the worldś worst at typing:}
Thanks for this video - I am going out to buy the water pitcher and trays to add to my collection right now- ok well in a few minutes- I have to finsh watching your video first:)
I must be sophisticated, I do about 6 of those things
😁. Loved this vid thank you
Hello! Can I please know where you purchased your beautiful blazer? Looks great!
Perfect timing was going to go to IKEA today anyway
Perfect timing!
I love real candles over those battery ones, you get a lovely scent from the real ones, I’m going to look for that wall art speaker thing, it’s so cute and something that would look nice on my cabinet without having it attached to the wall, I hope our IKEA store near me in Australia 🇦🇺 have those items, I love everything and love the sophisticated look, even though we don’t do much to no entertaining these days but hopefully soon. Always Love your ideas V. Cheers from Queensland Australia 🇦🇺🌸🌸🌸
I saw the wall art speaker thing and it made me a little disappointed. I'm gonna get real nerdy here. Just check out a video called "World's greatest speaker". You can craft a far greater speaker from a piece of cardboard/thin plywood/light foam and a $10 exciter speaker unit. Just glue the exciter onto a board, suspend it with twine/fishing wire and hook it up to an amplifier and you're set. I just wish that a company like IKEA would implement that idea into a tidier package which doesn't require an amp and speaker cables.
@@user-xg6zz8qs3q I’m not very crafty Lol 😂 and I don’t like cords hanging around, if I was to get something like that, it would just sit on my cabinet not on the wall, but I probably wouldn’t get it anyway, we have surround sound on our tv which I can play music on if I want to. Thanks for the tip anyway. 😊
@@-nellie-m3711 I know! This is why I'm flustered with IKEA's wall speaker. You may as well get a typical Bluetooth speaker you can comfortably move around and hide away. The board speaker idea seems to interest nobody since it requires a costly amplifier (or some questionably cheap Chinese micro-amp). But it's as easy to setup as a picture frame. It's literally a board with a speaker glued onto it.
tl;dr a Bluetooth speaker is more versatile
Yes. I am up to date!
I always have a table cloth, I am more sophisticated than I realized 😂 But seriously; I love my collection and it’s a great way to adjust my house to the seasons.
Those champagne glasses are so versatile and affordable! I have to get them! And that art speaker is wild. Greetings from Málaga. 😉
Hello, we love Málaga!
@@HouseofValentina And we love your videos. 😊
"Slap out a big bottle' 😂😂😂😂
Just bought the Symphonsk!! Can’t decide where to hang it! 😂
I’m a big fan of the Ikea videos. Some of my latest purchases are things you have recommended. Thanks for sharing.
Valentina, Could you do a vlog on designing, furnishing, sophistication in a tiny home on wheels. I hope to have one built, in Tennessee. His homes can be modern, when using metal sandwich of steel, two inches of closed spray foam, and steel on the other side. Or, wood. He will, also, use sheet rock, or shiplap.The last two would be upgrades. Most of his homes have that Country feel. I want to be different. I am not a sophisticated person, but, I could try. I understand there is an Ikea in Knoxville. My home will be stationary. I hope 10' by 30'. All on one floor, since I am 70, and disabled.
When I think of a sophisticated person I can only think of you 😉
The champagne coupes are stunning. If you are able, never skimp on stemware if you can. When my budget doesn’t allow for flowers I cut foliage and arrange in my vases, lux for less🦘🐨🇦🇺
I love IKEA. The closest one is 3 hours away in Memphis. 😩
I was in the Atlanta area recently and all I really wanted to do is bring you some banana bread and share a coffee with you and Joe. You are ravenous, lovely, and focused people AND I LOVE YOU.
❤️❤️❤️ Ikea videos
Hello! A lot of people do like those refrigerators with the built in ice and water dispenser, but I definitely do not. The less bells and whistles on a fridge, the better for me. We ( gasp!) make our own ice cubes in trays! We are doing fine. I really prefer the simplicity.
Omg i love you guys!!! #couplegoals 💯❤️ how do I find your Amazon store? 🙂
Hi Valentina, what accent pillow inserts do you recommend?
Could you please suggest a nice glass for water?
Ooooh, I think I want that picture/speaker.
Have you looked at what Bose has to offer? I use a small triangle shaped "surround sound" one, with my TV., It has a CD player in it, too.
@@abundantlyclear No, I never knew there was such a thing as this. I have to check out Bose’s website.
Hey Valentina, what was the name of your Spotify playlist or channel?!
In Denmark it is sooo expencive to buy a fridge with water and icecubes, so we use waterbottles ect… at least I do😎 Thank you for your input❤️ enjoying it with My morning coffee☕️
I use a Clearly Filtered pitcher in my fridge. Then after the water had gone through the filter, I pour it into a glass pitcher. Healthy water!
In Europe many don't have this because it takes too much place in the fridge and the weather is not this warm so not really usefull 🤷♀️
I threw out all my glasses when I saw Tipperary Crystal tumblers reduced from €50 to €20 for 4. Ordered another 4 online the next day. Why shouldn’t I use my good cutlery and nice glasses. !!
Please more of these! What's your Spotify playlist?
If you look up Valentina Fussell on Spotify you'll find several.
@@jackfussell3617 thank you!!
Maybe a cool idea for the next video : interior design lifehacks.
IKEA dishes scratch really easily, would never use them for everyday. They get unsightly quick, even with regular bar rescue usage!
You have sold me on IKEA. I wish we had one close to us. 🌸
I hope the black walls are out soon
I love ikea videos! ❤️❤️❤️
So do we!!
I have problems with finding online. The names!
You have to go to Peru
It’s starting to feel like The David Letterman show’s “Top Ten” when watching your videos! I miss seeing YOUR decor. That is why I subscribed. 💁🏻
Stay tuned to this Sunday’s video! I’ve been so busy with client projects I haven’t had much time for my own stuff.
Add cloth napkins to your cart
❤️❤️
My home is chaos, not sophisticated lol
Smelly candles give me a headache. I don’t think I’m alone in this.
📺 🙎🏻♀️💫🎬📸🎥🛍 🏡 you need your very own home show STAT!
I wish closed captioning was available for your videos. What little I can hear is great but I’m missing most of your info.
I thought that it automatically showed up. Let me look into it.
I prefer the words "fashion forward person". Sophisticated sounds a bit snobby. Love Ikea...a place to create style and make it your own
I am off with my list!
Hm... sounds like I must not be a very sophisticated person according to this list. Guess it's hard to pull that off when you're single, have birds, and live in a tiny apartment. Can't have candles; don't have any need for fancy glasses (I don't drink alcohol, which is most of the reasoning) or dishware or tablecloths and nobody ever wants to visit... Well, I do my best, okay? :)
I must find that speaker.
Gosh, as an Architectural Designer with 2 major Firms as well as Accessories/Custom Furniture etc Design Studio.....worked in Europe, USA & Canada for 35+ yrs..., sadly retired now & missing my old life working & travelling around the world....and yes, everything you have mentioned through your entire video is ABSOLUTELY TRUE,,,,,these r definitely things I as well my husband & four daughters lived with everyday, needless to say,,,, today, am in the process of slowly distributing my prized possessions collected throughout all that most wonderful world travel,,,,OK, so I must stop now as I shall still be texting you tomorrow morning.....My, but you have re-awakened my passions,,,, Question, purchased a 26’ RV to continue with travels within Canada & the US for awhile.....but the breakfast nook has a rather unsightly dining set which I would love to change & spotted your Breakfast Set in the “ blond wood & cane & loved it, would look great in the bump out breakfast area!!So funny, as I just watched a video where you lost all of the blond wood/wicker/bamboo/rattan & (no doubt CANE). LOL!!! I still LOVE this little set none the less! Any chance this would be still available???
Would you be so kind as to forward the info to me & I can at least verify,,,,,,triciaroy54@gmail.com,,,,ps. I just love the speaker also but more than anything, I LOVE how you & your husband interact,,,you compliment one another so well! Tricia from Quebec
Hi Valentina can you do IKEA sophisticated furniture items… if that’s possible🙏😃
