You are like a friend I'll never meet! Oh my goodness, I totally love your videos Valentina! Your content is fantastic. You are terrific! You have the best personality, great style, great ideas, great suggestions and not that it matters, but you're gorgeous! I hope your channel just blows up with subscribers! Wish you all the best! Looking forward to all your new content coming our way!❤❤❤
I love natural hues found in nature!!!! We painted our stucco home the same color as The Biltmore, we get so many compliments.....except our house is a lot smaller! Hahaha
Undertones. Brilliant!! Can’t change the warm, antique heart pine floors, but I can keep it in mind when choosing my neutrals for selling this year. Thanks!!
Omg that happen to me last week. Paint my bathroom a blue color hate it. Watched again your video on white. Purchase polar bear color and paint again the bathroom happy again. Keep it up thank you
The way we are picking colors is, we find an inspiration photo. I can visualize however my husband has a tough time with that but when I find a photo that either gets the idea across or shows an example of how I want the room to look it helps him sooo much. He’s always second guessing me when I want to be bolder though. And I’m just like trust me please! Lol
Would love to see a video of what sheen to use, your thought about painting the moldings, trim, crown molding, switch plates, etc. the same color as walls, and thoughts on door stops (what color to use (imo they should not stand out)) and when painting doors a different color, what parts of the door should be painted. Just a thought
Well, that's truly exciting that you're putting a course together. I can't wait. Also, did you get new lighting? This is the first time I could tell what the color of your walls are. No dark corners and the everything was very crisp and clear.
Love the tip about considering the wood tones. I hadn't thought of that before and it makes so much sense. Just looking at your wall and the dresser behind you work so well together is a perfect case in point!
Hands down....The best explanation of paint...ever! thank you! so true about lighting in the room and how you have to look at the paint at different times of the day! great video...really love the series videos too!
I had my entire interior house painted high gloss. It’s like a jewelry box. When the sun comes through, I sit there, loving it. My contractor didn’t want to do it, it didn’t seem right to him. But oh the beauty.
I did the exact same thing! My entire house is done in high gloss and and have two black metallic walls also! I LOVE the look! My contractor also thought I was nuts, especially high gloss black, then he fell in love with it lololololol
Valentina, you are so inspiring, and get me excited about painting my bedroom! I see it some earthy, deep green. Then I look at the room and am just stuck in my tracks. I swear, if you could make something sane here, you deserve the best decorating award ever!!!
Thank you Valentina - We are about to buy a new home and I love watching your videos for inspiration. I have watched other interior designers on TH-cam, but it is your style and design esthetic that I am really drawn to! You really are amazing - thank you for sharing your talent with us all!
Because I want to change furniture and wall colours should I choose the lounge suite first then work from there? I was going to paint first, but I am thinking its easier to match the paint rather than try and find furnishings to match the paint, I am a retired so this will be my last chance to change everything. Love your videos Valentina, you are wonderful..
Thank you so much dear Valentina! I am addicted to your chanel. So much to learn from with a touch of class,.common sense and such great taste. Just love it! Family values, decor , savings tips, amazing interior designing guidance, my love for traveling supporter and encourager, couple in.love, oh so much to love your videos for! KUDOS! I have an urgent need of your great expertise and taste: I just got 2 dark navyish patina busts on FBMP and need them.to be alabaster white( like original white busts are) I think RustOleum is a stark white...and ...nope! Need a spray paint with some sheen and not a stark white but between White, Ivory, off white color. Confused and afraid to make a mistake! PLEASE HELP ASAP!! My living room.makeover stuck right now with these dark busts which are focal points, THE theme really. Thanks to you and all your followers that may come with a great idea!!
This is a great video Valentina👏. What is the colour you have in your walls?, I love it and love that you've painted the walls, the doors and the ceiling in the same colour 😳👌👍👍👍❤️
i always wanted blacks navy or peacock blue interiors similar to you but im glad i didnt act on it yet! now im dying to have a black home exterior ( shaker house ) with dark wood accents by the trim and door with the pure white scandi and light woods interior ( which is something i never imagined liking)
Thanks for this video. I am considering repainting my living room and I appreciate the information on how to identify undertones. I really want to pick the right color upfront and not go through what I did for my bedroom that I wanted in a light blue- blues are tricky I discovered- after 3-4 different color samples I finally settled on one closest to what I was looking for but honestly it is not what I really hoped for but I realize it may be that it’s the lighting/ location in the house that is affecting the look. Oh well, I might retry the bedroom some other time. I did paint a ombré accent wall in that bedroom that made the room look nice so I was happier with the blue shade on the rest of the room 😆
I think paint is the least expensive thing you can do to make a major impact when decorating. I like listening to your thoughts and suggestions about paint colors. I could delve into these conversations on a daily basis, lol! 😉
Fantastic video, always love your content and looking forward to the new series. You look beautiful by the way! Getting ready to select a new paint color for our Exterior... A little nervous LOL, because if I don’t get it right all the neighbors will see😩🤣. But excited now with all your advice.👍🥂
Valentina love your channel!! We are building a custom home and we watch for inspo! We love your style. I have a request. Can you discuss lighting options? Lighting fixtures? The size the styles. We are really struggling with this!! Thank yoy
So are we meant to make everything within the same colour palette. As in, my kitchen is a dove grey but it’s blue based. I’m about to paint my kitchen can I go for a warmer white or will that look weird?
Thanks for your expertise and great taste. We are moving to a new home , I would like to follow your advise , but it is a lot to take decisions on....for example window treatments...please help! I need a budget friendly contemporary look ...
@@HouseofValentina works like magic every time N best part is I can change colour of any room into cooler shades like blues greens n warm shades in winter like reds yellows by changing bedsheets curtains carpets n decor accessories simply love it
Thank you for this video! I’m about to paint my whole house a soft white with soft back accents. My biggest concern is my cherry bookcases. I hope the soft white will work! My husband build them, so they will stay. Thoughts?
I use home depot ,swisscoffee for a white ,it works with all lights and color ,I have white walls (swiss coffee ) and some accent walls with limousine black ,and my floors are a warm classic hardwood floor ,no gray in my house just not feeling the gray tones ,,,good luck
Stressed out? I'm stressed out. A list of items to conquer but here's one for this page. What do you do about heavily plastered ceilings (I mean really thick and chunky). I strongly desire glassy, smooth. Thanks!
In regards to moving around furniture, I say just plan how you intend to use the room and then just move things around until it feels right! In my case, that process is endless!! Lol!!
When picking colors for large living spaces what sheen do you go with, particularly the kitchen? I am trying to find the right white for my kitchen that doesn't have a yellow undertones but I don't want shiny walls but I do have 3 messy kids. Any advice is appreciated.
What is your opinion on trim color changes from room to room? Crazy-sauce or cool? I want to paint the hallway that has all the bedrooms in a unique color, but there are so many doors that I’m considering doing the trim/doors the same color.
I live in a basement apartment with very limited natural light... it’s all white now, but I’ve been dying to use “dark” paint for the space for some reason... I feel like going for it... but what if it makes the space feel microscopic and depressing?!?
Jennifer C Graf I love Lisa also but Lisa is crazy energy and Valentina is reassuring calm. On the other hand, they might just be a bubbly giggle fest. :-)
Can you please help me with my paint dilemma, I am painting the entire inside of the house a light linen color. Should I also paint the ceiling or leave it white?I don’t have crown molding. HELP !
I just recently downloaded Morpholio and found it pretty easy to use. There is a free version which I find to be sufficient, but if you want more bells and whistles there are upgrades you can pay for.
I have been watching your videos for the past several months, and I have to say you seem to have the video I need right when I need it. I’m a renter and I really want an accent wall. I think my landlord will okay it, but the bigger problem is my living room is open and the whole house is a beige not white. I’m doing a cozy natural boho with black accents. I really have narrowed it down to a dusty type pink, a pinky terra-cotta or black for my accent wall. I’m definitely leaning black. Would this be a mistake with the beige walls surrounding it. Please help Valentina!
Thank you for being so kind!! This comment made my day!! I would need to see the room to give specific advice, but I think a pink wall would be beautiful for a more natural look!
There are more factors that just the direction of the house. You might have a red brick house outside the window that reflects back into the room. Test them and see how they look to know for sure! 🖤
Alrakita S I have polar bear in both small bedroom both north side. It is great for a fresh airy look. I just painted my front room and entry chantilly and it is stark.. But not styled with furniture so now I will mellow it out or add tons of colour. Going to try mellowing it out or painting it again ugh!
Thank you for discussing undertones!! I went to my BM and when I questioned the undertones in some of the grays they said what are you talking about 🤯😜 I said you own a paint store and you can’t tell me the undertones - I ended up buying 6 samples so I could figure it out at home hahahahahahaha
@@AVA-MARIA I had the same question. This is what I came across on a web search "Behr Hematite N460-6 / #5f615f Hex Color Code The hexadecimal color code #5f615f is a medium dark shade of green. In the RGB color model #5f615f is comprised of 37.25% red, 38.04% green and 37.25% blue."
