totally agree w the one plant vs. a billion little plants. i always find some larger cool more mature plants on facebook marketplace!!

Loved this- yum yum yum! 😊

As another 'person who thinks about interior deisgn way too much' I just wanted to let you know how much I adore you and your channel. Your style ... your interior insights... your reflections on structural violence... I'm here for it all! Sending Aroha from Aotearoa (Love from New Zealand) ps. oddly specific interior design thing I'm obsessed with right now is rewiring vintage danish lamps

Always love your content and perspective

Wow. This was succint and quick and sooo good. Thank you❤

Australian painter, Margaret Olley, was known to say: "If the house looks dirty, buy another bunch of flowers"

I love tulips, but unfortunately can’t have any, because I have a cat who loves munching on flowers, and tulips are toxic to cats. I substitute them with gerber daisies, which are innocuous to kitties.

Thank you. I enjoy your content. I hope this isn’t too inappropriate, especially since you are obviously politically conscious, but Just a reminder that Home Depot (and John Deere) donated more than $800,000 to Republicans who voted to overturn the 2020 election results, according to federal election contribution data compiled by the liberal group Accountable.US. I know we can’t boycott everybody, but personally, I don’t do Home Depot.

You nailed it again! Happy Holidays! 🎄 Safe travels ❤

Honestly I'd love a video going into much more depth on each of these! I know that's a lot of video content, but a 'how to solve these problems' kind of video would be so appreciated (: This is really informative as it is, but particularly towards the end I think the segments were too short (as you were worried about timing) while I think you have a lot more to offer and to say about every one of these!

i subscribed so fast!!! such a practical and compassionate voice in the sea of stressful home videos that leave me feeling bad about my house! this makes me feel good about my house, and excited to decorate, by contrast! * apartament lol, it's just an apartament.

As a believer of Feng Shui, yes, get rid of the mattress, that is one of the beliefs of this philosophy. It accumulates bad energy and you need to clean that slate for positive energy and luck for yourself, by changing the mattress. Better yet, if it is brand new. Same with flowers and plants, they need to be tended to, to give you positive energy

Loved this video especially the last tip!

Super helpful, Medora!

I love the lightning in this video

this was everything and so affirming thank you!!!

Medora Kea, I love how intentional considerate and thoughtful you are with your commentary. Very professional as well giving kudos to Phoebe. So important to create a sharing giving community on TH-cam. This is wonderful content. Thank you for making my Sunday morning first cup of coffee most enjoyable!

do u like any other creators other than paige? i appreciate her taste but can’t really stomach her channel

All of these. All of these were exactly the advice I needed!

Great video Medora💐💐💐 Thank you for your time, energy, and tips! (Particularly that last one🥹) Appreciate you!🤍

I take notes on your videos, so many good thoughts and ideas! I feel like you add so much to the interior design TH-cam space.

did any of these resonate for you?

I painted my office blue and my bedroom green once I moved into my house and it felt off ever since. I debated on painting for sooo long and ended up going back to neutral (SW white sesame) Now my styling seems easier

2:54 is the house of a textile designer. There’s a house tour in the modern house if anyone’s interested: th-cam.com/video/jjQCeY6O3_I/w-d-xo.htmlsi=61-dY3IyWIZby2O-

i’m obsessed with your channel!! and i agree with the plants. i love when a plant is… semi ugly?? and not perfect 🤣

My current bed set that I’ve had for about 6 months in a deep red duvet cover with baby blue sheets and I fell in love with this color scheme. I just ordered new winter bedding for my birthday and I got brown striped sheets, a baby blue duvet cover, yellow and deep red plaid pillow cases, a plaid baby blue, red, and grey plaid wool throw blanket, and beige floral throw pillow covers. I can’t wait to see it all come together. My headboard is also grey

I'm pretty certain that's not Kate's kitchen but Benji Plants' kitchen :)

14:14 Benji ! Another great video. Love chilling with you.

I recognise the house you show at 19:56, with the yellow couch! That’s the Madrid home of Spanish actor Gustavo Salmerón, photographed for the Spanish edition of Architectural Digest. It’s a very interesting house, I’d recommend looking up the full tour (should come up if you google “Gustavo Salmerón revista AD”). Lovely video as always!

are we pinterest twinsies?? 😝

Omgg same, about the built in tubs!!!!

❤❤❤

Hi Medora! I love your videos when you share your thoughts and opinions! I personally would've preferred this over your black friday idea but that's just me. I forgot what my verdict on the first story was, but for the second story I thought the in-laws were the assholes, not so much for what the SIL initially did, but for how they reacted to it and guilt-tripped OP, who was already being very understanding of the situation and is just exercising her right to organize her own property back to how she sees it fit. I especially hate how her husband and other relatives tag teamed her, telling her that what she did was wrong and that she was undermining her SIL's work. It sounds like a horrible situation of gaslighting. For the last story: y'all (the parents) have issues😂. I could already tell from when you were reading the post that it's more than just the bed. Now I'm not gonna call a pregnant wife an asshole nor am I gonna call the husband an asshole, but I think their dynamic as spouses is dysfunctional. The wife needs to communicate more than just "I prefer it this way and I'm not entertaining any compromise" and the husband needs to be observant of his wife's struggles. I also noticed that the wife being more assertive might mean that the husband isn't able to argue his points without consequences to their relationship, which is why his post is somewhat worded in a way that paints his wife in a more negative light.

So happy I found your videos! Love your perspectives

Good hair day

which story was the worst??

‘Not in a sexy way,’ lol! 👏 👏 👏

love your videos and how easy you explain everything, also you are SO cute!!!! 🥰

Great video, thank you. Keep posting!!!!

waitttt medora🥹 this video was brilliant! exactly what i needed! also hii! the algorithm blessed me with your channel & LOVE it! 💞

Thank you, this video has been so helpful!

I smiled when you said "we tend to go with neutrals and beiges"... ...I just color drenched my home office in a Dulux* color called Aubergine Burst, which I've paired with dark wine-red sheer curtains and a Hakka-style floral fabric with a dark red background (bright red or aqua are more traditional but I know someone who sells it in the darker color) on the back of a black Billy bookcase. *Dulux and Nippon Paint basically the only brands available in Taiwan, where I live, that come in the whole range of colors. No Behr, Benjamin Moore or other brands at all. When I actually choose wall colors, I basically grab some portable accessories in the room that I like and want my paint to look good with, and I have some idea what I want (e.g. "I want a plummy purple that will look good with these ceramics" led to Aubergine Burst). I live walking distance from a store with a paint service so I throw them in a tote bag and hunt until I find something I like -- I've only had to choose a white once as I don't generally paint rooms white, but in that case I just found the color of the wall I really liked and already had, and held it next to different whites until something worked. With whatever I've chosen, I usually go one shade up on the strip, because I've had it dry darker on my walls than it appeared on the card more than once. A very slightly lighter tint than what I've chosen from the cards generally yields what I was going for.

your hair looks fab today

I'm a color intuitive. I've worked as a color consultant. All the technical stuff in this video is totally confusing to my right brained brain. I just look at a color and understand it to the point where, when manufacturers colors don't work as expected, I just head off to the paint store and buy whatever color I need to adjust the problem color to where I want it. BTW, Home Depot "color matching" is useless. I assume it's the same for all the color matching services. I purchased paint for all the woodwork in my house from the close out table and ran out. When I had HD "color match" it, the machine "matched" color was a chocolate brown (too red) vs the original which was an umber brown (charcoal brown). After more than 15 trips back to HD for adjustments with the endlessly patient paint dept. person (who happened to be the ONLY paint dept. employee with any inkling of color mixing), I gave up. I ended up purchasing 3 different colors of premixed paint, went home, mixed them up and VIOLA!!!, I had an exact color match to the original color. Based on my experience, the easiest way to pick a color is to buy an 8oz sample, paint 2'x2' (or larger) squares on EVERY wall in the room, then look at the samples at various times throughout the day and under different lighting conditions. It's not a guarantee, but it should get you close. Even with this technique, I've had (many) failures. The issue is that when you paint a whole room, the color bounces off the various surfaces and intensifies, so it's not gonna look exactly like the samples. If you don't understand color, either experiment till you get it right or hire someone to figure out the colors for you. Color is a science. Technology is NOT a substitute for a knowledgeable human - but even with a human, expect it to be painful. I watch lots of decor videos and pretty much all of the presenters, amateurs and professionals alike, talk about the color mistakes they make. It's part of the territory...

Also i'm a bit confused about the white undertones. say we have white walls with a red undertone, then how do you go about picking up the rest of the 60/30/10 colours from that? does that mean you should have red toned wood and warm as far as the colours go? i know you breifly mentioned, make sure the undertone doesn't clash but I'm having a hard time understandign what would class against a grey undertoned white vs a cream/orange undertoned white. hope that question makes sense! thanks for the content as always!

Very interesting video, I love your content (and I secretly dream about a video of you with Paige Wassel).

i've no idea why your channel isn't more popular- your advice is extremely actionable and SUPER HELPFUL! I'd say it's up there with the helpful tips that Noah daniels gives out. it all makes perfect sense when broken down :)

I dislike the newer intro tagline about "girls gays and theys" -- even though I am in that subset, I would hope this could be inclusive to men. (Trans guys, bi curious, etc.). I love how accessible you generally are and love your focus on anti-capitalism without falling too deeply into "we live in a society" discourse.

what's your favorite color at the moment?? 🎨
