As someone who does not have a big budget, I appreciate how relatable this is and how it showcases taste and refinement on a big budget but how it still applies to other budgets as well. I always wondered why people buy pretty things and keep them empty next to their store-bought bottles and containers and just create ugly clutter. I love the functionality of using elegant containers for everyday items. Great advice!
Hi Miriam, I enjoy all the tips and suggestions you share. Thank you for helping us live a more luxurious life. I never get tired of viewing your beautiful home🥰
Lots of beautiful and elegant storage ideas - I will definitely be taking some of these on board. Classic and elevated storage looks. I would love to see more of how the kitchen /bathroom & bedroom are organised.
I have a small booth at the local Antique Mall in our town. I work really hard to have just these items available especially the crystal and silver. Glassware and serviceware from an era when quality was important. I am thrilled when someone like yourself recommends shopping somewhere besides mainstream box stores.
I’ve done Estate Sales and when children talk of how much they love their mother’s dishes but don’t have room to keep them all, I tell them to keep the tea pot or creamer n sugar bowls and use them for makeup brushes, eye pencils, Q tips, pens or pencils on their desk. Repurpose things you love and incorporate into your daily use. I love old silver trays and ice buckets! Never enough!
Thank you for your very doable suggestions for elevating one’s home. I love the mix of practicality and beauty. After watching, I immediately placed a silver tray and crystal jars (doing me no favors stored away) in my bathroom and switched to my white towels. It’s already a beautiful spa-like space but these changes brought in the classic luxe it needed. Your home is beautiful!
Oh finally. Too many videos using wood and pottery. I have so many beautiful glass containers and have not known how to use them. It's nice to see elegance! I love glass and will be using your tips. I just found your channel. Thank you so much.
I took a crystal rectangular bowl that sits in a silver base from my dining room and put my quips in it so I was happy to see her do the same. Wood is beautiful but I also live crystal and silver.
You have such a gift! Love your ideas and tricks. I am a busy mom, registered nurse working full time and trying to work on two rentals. How do you handle keeping paperwork and receipts organized? I have such little time between all the running around. It seems everyday I come home from work, child pick up, kids sports, shopping and getting the mail and always rushing….. it just all gets stacked up either on the beautiful granite counter top or in my office which is frightening. Suggestions or an episode about office luxury and organization tips would be wonderful! I don’t have the funds to hire anyone. The receipts are important for both taxes and the product returns when things don’t work out. So a way to have a disciplined first stop to place these things in a hurried manner would help.
I love your style and channel!! It's by far the best and always elegant designs. Thanks for posting videos and helping us to live life to its fullest. I grew up my mother and grandmother using the antique trays in the way you're showing I have them as well they are beautiful
As someone who loves antiques and thrift store finds, I shopped my home. I have now moved into a small rented apartment with the typical closet of a bathroom, but shelves over the toilet, toilet trays ,beautiful bathroom sink accessories, and art I have been able to add some personality to a very blah space. Picked up more tips today from you. Thanks!
Miriam, thank you for sharing your expertise style and fashions. I love how you link your past as a model selecting wardrobe pieces to decorating one's space. I often ask myself why didn't I come across your videos earlier. I find myself binge watching your videos some multiple times because I enjoy them so much. So thanks again for being you and making others feel welcomed into your space(s). I am looking forwards to an extensive journey together!!! Yolanda❤️Gailes - REALTOR
Beautiful details! One thing I do wish to say is that technology is our friend! It broke my heart to see the table lamps hard wired to be plugged in through the gorgeous marble. I understand this because it's what we did as designers BUT now we have the magic of wireless led bulbs! No longer do we need to do this. Hope you'll be able to consider this resource in future projects! It's been a great one!
Hi… I’m impressed with how “down to earth” you are and acknowledge that you didn’t always have clients with fancy budgets WITHOUT placing judgment or any sense of entitlement. You genuinely express gratitude and the role luck has had for you, encouraging us to see ourselves and our places where we still can create retreat and coziness. Thanks! Now go into a “real poor persons” bathroom and tell us how to store towels, toys, bubble bath (for adults) and shampoo. Most folks live in apartments and the bathrooms are “maybe” 6’x8’. They’re ugly but useful… and maybe you have a better way to create / build / repurpose something for again, “useful” over the toilet shelves? LOL
I'm impressed. this was a very helpful video and took a lot away from it. these are all beautiful ideas that are fairly easy to access and doable for a lot of people. I can't say that about 99.9% of similar videos I've watched on this topic. Thank you!
Hello Miriam. I just found this video while searching for interior decor inspiration and I’m so glad that I found you! I absolutely love your style and how you beautifully display and organize things with solutions out of the box that don’t compromise on beauty and elegance of the space, I’m amazed! What an inspiration! Amazing taste, congratulations and thank you for sharing, I’ll watch all of your videos and content! I wish you all the best! 💕
I love these ideas! I do not know why I never thought of this! I have always takkede myself out of getting pretty glas jars at goodwill stores even though they cost nothing, simple because I never knew what to use them for. Now I do! Thank you so much for your ideas! New subscriber for sure!! ❤️
Stunningly beautiful home. Thank you for sharing. How do you clean all that silver with a store bought cream? Do you ever have any issues with the marble staining with ? red wine for instance? I have been inspired……….🥰 Fiona 🦘🙏
Hi Miriam, I enjoyed all the tips and suggestions. Things that are about thinking outside of the box. I see three things you shared that I will be able to elevate my place to give that classic look I love. Thank you so much for your time. Just love your style!!!!
Hello madame Miriam, again another great video with lots of great ideas to everyone. As always thank you for sharing your ideas, your faithful romanian follower!
Hi Miriam. Thank you. This video was so helpful and inspiring. I live in a 5000 plus square foot home so much smaller than yours. But I can use your tips to make our home more luxurious. I will save this video for reference. Please share your recommendations for faux flowers. I love them be use them in key spaces. some designers frown on them. I was glad to hear that you use them as well. Best wishes and thanks again for sharing your expertise and beautiful home.
Ohh Miriam I love love watching you and what your firm is all about, everything is so beautiful, I live in a single trailer home it is very small but it is decorated as it is a palace and to me it is beautiful. I will continue watching your videos and as always, I get inspired on. You are an absolute inspiration and very elegant
Just brilliant ideas, I love them! I sell vintage and antiques and often wonder what people do with the stuff they purchase. I'm extremely busy and my family doesn't understand why my mood is so bad when things aren't organized. Organizations takes loads of stress off of me, and I think so much more clearer. Not to mention, it's clean, inviting, and brings the feel of peace. I will adopt some of these ideas. New Subbie.
My place isn't big enough to display decoration and furniture like the ones you're showing, but the ideas are just fantastic to acomodate small homes.😗😗😗
I recently came across your channel and enjoyed this video. Thank you for the many great ideas. I'll use the nice Italian decanter that I gave my husband for his birthday (that is still unused) for his mouthwash. 😊
oops! Forgot to say thank you for such a lovely show!! Appreciate your taking the time to go with the details. For that is what it is all about, don't you think?
ha, ms miriam....you are a closet nerd, admit it! i can so relate but rarely execute as you do. great vid and fabulous functional fluff! so many great ideas.
Oh you are so inspiring! Another fabulous video! I love every detail of your bathroom and kitchen and appreciate you sharing with us. Thank you for your informative and enjoyable channel.
Loved this video for ideas I am moving soon and when I put my China cabinet back together I will be using some of those pieces that don’t get used often for storage like you did in the bathroom
I agree with you about the paper towels. Your idea was simple, but brilliant. I also agree with another comment about all the pottery we are seeing -- a little overwhelming.
Miriam youre taste of vintage crystals and how you use them in organizing throuout youre beautiful home is exsquisite,love youre style i just subscribed!!! thanks so much !!
Try using Mrs. Stewarts bluing in your rinse with your whites. The reason your towels look dingy after a while is white has a blue tint to it. When bleached and washed often the tint fades.
Hi Miriam 👋! Newbie here! So 😊 glad I came across your channel. Loving your tips and your thoughts on luxury (time, space)...never thought of it like that. Going to incorporate some of your tips into my home! Your home is absolutely beautiful, divine! Thank you for the inspo and sharing!
Thank you for sharing your home and your designing expertise. I totally agree with how you utilize the old bottles or keepsakes to store your personal things around the house
I would love to see high quality faux florals. I also really enjoyed the decanting ideas. I never thought to decant my loose powder. Absolutely brilliant.
There's a great Christine McConnell video "a vintage themed makeup tutorial" where she shows her makeup decanted, even liquid foundation, into pretty bottles and vintage vanity items. It means you can't take them in your purse/travel though, which is my deal breaker
I have tried to use those paper towel holders, but my husband won't use them. I was the only one putting the roll on the holder. I will look for a champagne holder at the estate sales, etc. I do keep my spare toilet paper in a beautiful chamber pot. It has a blue floral design and I found it on sale at a local antique shop where I used to live. 👍😀
Hi Miriam, kudos on another gorgeous video! I started watching your videos and while my style is a little bit more modern, I am obsessed with your classic taste because it is such an incredible backdrop for combining other different design styles. You have a wonderfully discerning eye and seeing you describe classic design concepts shown with great examples, it’s really easy to imagine how to make these spaces more your own. Love all of your trim and molding applications. Wow! Also love seeing a Canadian designer come up on TH-cam with the best of them! Looking forward to more of your content, bravo!
I love that you mention your children’s baptism, communion, confirmation…. so wonderful to hear. d
I felt the same way. 😊
I searched so long for a decorator that met all the talents. Miriam is that decorator. So much common sense In her lux tips.
I miss her videos. She is the best.
I love the paper towel idea I’m going to use it

I feel the same way about paper towel holders. Thanks for the suggestion for an elegant holder!
I love how you say, "it just makes me happy" regarding The Chanel magnolias/collection I can truly relate, love your contents.
I’ve done Estate Sales and when children talk of how much they love their mother’s dishes but don’t have room to keep them all, I tell them to keep the tea pot or creamer n sugar bowls and use them for makeup brushes, eye pencils, Q tips, pens or pencils on their desk.

Thanks for the tour. Fresh and clean. Zoning the kitchen seems like a great idea .

Hello There, have you designed a home with slate flooring? Thank you
Wow Miriam! You are spot on with all your recommendations! The simple elegance you speak of, anyone can obtain! Thank You!
Beautiful details! One thing I do wish to say is that technology is our friend! It broke my heart to see the table lamps hard wired to be plugged in through the gorgeous marble. I understand this because it's what we did as designers BUT now we have the magic of wireless led bulbs! No longer do we need to do this.

Now go into a “real poor persons” bathroom and tell us how to store towels, toys, bubble bath (for adults) and shampoo. Most folks live in apartments and the bathrooms are “maybe” 6’x8’.
They’re ugly but useful… and maybe you have a better way to create / build / repurpose something for again, “useful” over the toilet shelves? LOL
Thank you so much for sharing your ideas. These are lovely ways to keep your home beautiful.
