Give this comment a thumbs up if you're eager for Hannah and Joe to immerse us in their new home journey! We're not just wanting for a sprinkle; we want to be fully drenched! ☺️ Congratulations, Hannah and Joe!
How exciting! I have loved seeing your journey over the years, from apartment, to living with friends, getting married to Joe, to now becoming a mom. All your hard work has paid off. ❤
And an author ❤
@@thiftingmybestlife PUBLISHED author.
I've always read through the years that yellow should never be used for bedrooms. Too stimulating to the brain and subconsciously not restful. Just depends, I guess. Good luck! 😊
In addition to Ariel, also check out Caroline Winkler. Her video style and her design choices are different enough from Ariel’s that they complement without overlapping.
Right up until you said “green,” I was worried that you weren’t going to have any. With all those warm colors, it’s nice to have a little contrast.
So here’s some unsolicited advice: Since your whole house will be basically pale beige/warm white, and you’ll be able to see your color-drenched dining room from the living room, make sure you have at least one piece of living room furniture that is in the same family as the dining room paint, plus maybe a couple of accents that are a similar color, and get a pop of your green in there as well. If your living room doesn’t have anything that ties it to the dining room, the dining room may look out of place, like you had one great isolated idea. If the bedroom door is always closed, you’ll visually have only one colorful room.
Can’t wait to see what you do! I’m 100% here for this!
🥰🥰🥰
LOVE Caroline!
This is an excellent idea! I loved the color pallette/story you chose, Hannah, I think it will end up looking amazing.
Also commented Caroline Winkler! I love to see the talk through at the end and Hannah has a similar way of explaining the thought process
hannah x caroline is a dream combo for sure ❤❤❤
and yes, i was literally sitting there staring at the empty space of the mood board going 'green. it's green. you need green in there. green is the missing link. go green' 🙏 and happy squealing at the beautiful reveal 😂
Joe did you a huge favor. The green adds depth and sophistication.
This is such a well-produced video! Both visually and narratively. Engaging, beautiful, thought-provoking, inspiring! And all my walls are egg white, so this excitement for wall colours doesn't come natural to me 😂
Hi! I have to mention (and I'm so sorry if this panics you, hopefully it won't!) I can't help noticing that almost all of your inspo images are of high-ceilinged rooms with enormous windows and your circular swatches at the end all show areas of the rooms where lots of natural light is really evenly bouncing off walls and features. The colour drenching looks great in these images but will be more oppressive in the house you're moving into (even though it's a beautiful house!) where the ceilings are low, so the drenching won't look as casually elegant as it does in high-ceilinged rooms. Another thing to take into consideration is that it looks like there are multiple windows in each of the rooms of your new place but they are small, so the effect visible in the photos is that you have small patches of natural light punctuating otherwise moody, dim rooms. White will therefore not have quite the same effect as it does in the high ceiling rooms you are taking inspiration from as those have very big windows which fill the space with light so that white really shines. You may want to just look for some images of colour-drenched rooms with the same sort of ceiling height as yours before making any decisions to check that you like the effect... I personally think a low-ceilinged ochre-drenched bedroom would be gorgeous but you might not. I love the bathroom inspo images you're going for and I think you will rise to the low ceiling challenge really well with your taste. I just wanted to point it out and I hope it's helpful! Love the green accent pieces as well. The interior designer Beata Heumann has some very reassuring advice on how you always want one thing in a room that throws off the rest of the colour pallete just so that it doesn't look too 'designed' and your green items exemplify that perfectly! I really look forward to seeing more house updates, PLEASE do document the journey!
I have a BFA in Interior Design and I have to agree. But I also know with certainty you will create a phenomenally aesthetic home for your family 😊 if you do paint red, think of your priming paint as an undertone in a foundation. It will really help to get it to feel the way you want.
When you were talking about adding some green - specifically how any green items would fit in because you would have plants in the space and plants are green - it reminded me of something i think of often when thinking about my own colour palette preferences: "Green is nature's neutral." And then I realised! I'm pretty sure I first read that phrase in the comment section of a different video of yours, Hannah! So it was a funny little full circle moment for me. And if the commenter who originally left that comment is reading this I'd just like to say that reading that little phrase kind of changed my life, as a green enthusiast. I'll be out for a walk and admire some leaves and think to myself "see! nature's neutral!" and then feel better about how many green items of clothing I own.
Yesssss
my bedroom and kitchen/living area (tiny apartment) are drenched forest green. green is MY white.
@@oruga9737 I love green as well! It’s funny I like white if it’s the messy Parisian writers lived in apt! Ha but my mood now is cozy eclectic and dark I love how Hannah does the mood boards! This sure inspired me…to waist more hrs on Pinterest I’m a Virgo I research things to death before I make a decision!!
Yessssss
wow so true! that perfectly explains why green feels like such a safe but also slightly boring choice to me! at least 60% of my interior is green and i do like it that way but often wish i could be more adventurous. maybe a flower bouquet palette could work, with mostly yellow, red and pink and a few blues and purples... 🤔 definitely food for thought ❤
I love the way Katrina Zebrowska has shared her home reno! The way she approaches it feels very in line with your thinking (thoughtful, well-researched, intentional, etc.) Especially how she structure the videos. It's very much "this is everything I've been able to do since the last video because life." I'm very excited to watch your vision unfold 😍
Love Karolina as well, she did such a great job with her flat!☺️🙌
I color drenched my bedroom 4 years ago and i still love it. Its a dark green, dark forest. It feels like a delicious cave and its great for day naps which are extremely important to me. Its perfect and correct.
My bedroom walls are dark green, which I love, but the ceiling is white. Something about the room just hasn’t been sitting well with me, and I think it’s the contrast between the white ceiling/white trim and dark walls. I’ve been considering if I should repaint the walls a lighter color or color drench in the dark green. The ceilings are somewhat low, so that concerned me. The dark green does feel both moody and so restful. I appreciate your comment. I think I might color drench! 🩷🦩🌺
@@TheFlamingoHouse Go for it!
Love the color drenching idea for you. One thought. If you love your tableware because of its boldness choosing a color too close to it will rob that effect. Something complimentary might suit your personalities better. The earthy tones might, indeed, be the best idea.
Yes I was thinking the same thing! I have a signature color in my kitchen too but the walls are painted white with one accent wall to allow all the decor to stand out instead of blending into the walls
If Salmon and Chocolate had a baby, that would be the color of the heart of my home and I adore it
Rose taupe ❤
Like the color of her shirt?
lighter and less saturated but yes@@lilyawood
Would you share the paint name of this lovely color?
@@emsilverman2 I would if I hadn't mixed it myself with a mistinted gallon of brown and the pinky whites cans left in the house by the previous owner. Sorry. I guess this is part of the blessing and curse of years of art. I have no trouble mixing paint but no way to share it for others to copy
GO for it, it's only paint! It's always fixable or re-doable!
I love color drenching and am ALWAYS for painting ceilings to match. Creating a seamless background color is a glide for the eye.
It’s sooooo soothing! I find darker colors make room bigger but also make me feel cozy!
@@heavenjbI am painting our powder room floor to ceiling black green. Just waiting for summer and free time.
@@melbygrace I’m trying to decide if If I want to hire a super cheap painter or do it myself! I do live on cape cod and sometimes I want a Scandi white blues taupes etc but I’ve always been a dark color gal ha there’s some Brit influencers I watch and I love how they really do up the powder room! Some had black wall paper with a botanical print and gold flusher with golden pipes up to the ceilings etc ha those people in England have some funky toilets!! 🚽
I read somewhere that coffee isn’t a beverage, it’s a state of being. Your videos always strike that same chord-whether you’re taking about wardrobe curation, conscious consumerism, poetry (super enjoying the book!), or now interior aesthetics, your videos create an inspired “state of being”, a launch toward intentionality in daily living that reminds me of Mary Oliver’s “what is that you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”. I’m certain your home will be the same! Congrats!
P.S. Book suggestion for you: Matrescence by Lucy Jones
I like how Karolina Zebrowska showed the transformation of her apartment ❤
I have a dear friend who has painted the kitchen in each of the several homes she's owned over her lifetime, in a pumpkin orange. I LOVE it.
Hannah as a beauty/makeup guru- yes! Hannah as a fashion guru- yes! Hannah as a poet- yes! Hannah as an interior design guru- yes, yes, yes! This is content I didn't even realise I wanted until you gave it to us. You are so creative in how you visualise, articulate and then break it down for others. Can't wait to see how your home projects progress x
When you said you were going to color drench…I immediately thought…she’s gonna pick orangey red. I think I have watched your channel for awhile. 😜 I totally love all your ideas. They feel very you. The white will also be a wonderful backdrop for all of your art. ❤ I can’t wait to watch the process.
Green is a beautiful decorating color because it doesn’t tend to clash with anything.
Xo Macenna and Ariel Bassett have done great jobs at documenting home upgrades!
Ariel Bassett definitely. I think she hits a good level of showing the work but it's also she's just really good company: a decor version of HLP shouldn't deprive is of listening to her
i love ariel's series!
Hi all, love Ariel's series! Just a note, it's Bissett (just wrote it because I wouldn't want anyone to search for her and not find her videos!)
Nick Lewis has a lot of good interior design content especially in relation to what types of furniture etc will last through trends and not look dated in a few years
My husband and I have a 1908 bungalow. Our hallway is very wide, and spans the entire length of the house- it is quite literally its own room. All of the rooms open from the hallway, but are also interconnected (Victorian “air conditioning”). I found a huge, beautiful Beaux Arts print, and picked a color out of it for the hallway. I then painted and designed each room to coordinate with the print and hallway. So much fun! We left our trim unpainted- it’s pristine and I would hate to cover up the wood, but to each their own. Btws, our dining room is a raspberry red. I love it 🙂💛
Last time you guys did a cross-country move, I did one as well! And funnily enough, I recently purchased a home so we are moving once more in the same time frame! Loving life’s little parallels :) take care
but are you also AGONIZING OVER PAINT COLORS lol :)
This palette and mood reminded me so much of streets with old buildings in Italy with half worn off Terracota and Ochre stucco... love it!
Nick Lewis is a lot of fun when it comes to interior design. He addresses all of these design styles that you are thinking about and I find him entertaining. If you haven’t found him yet, find him. Food for thought, if the walls are the same colors as your plates, etc, do the plates stand out or do they disappear? Paint is cheap and easy to change, so go for something fun for sure. You’ll figure something out and will be fine with what you create. It is yours. Also, kids ruin everything so don’t grow too attached to anything. Dishes will break, lots of ugly primary colored plastic makes an appearance. There is a high probability that those beautiful rust or ochre sheets will be cut with paper pinking shears or have permanent marker scribbles, or super glue on them so be prepared for dramatic change at a moment’s notice. Also, set aside money for water heaters, leaking roof, plumbers, electricians, carpenters, and exterminators. More money goes in to fixing and maintaining things than making them beautiful. Welcome to home ownership!!!
I have had a terracotta room in our 2 last homes for the last 40 years! I love it so much! Go for it, girl!❤
I think I’m the only one anything peach to terracotta makes me think of Florida and golden girls ha! But hey everyone has a favorite!! 😍
That green would be lovely color-drenching a nursery... very foresty and magical.
I painted my office in Joa's White. The pictures online make it seem like a much more tan/taupe neutral color - when on the wall in all light types it comes off very, very peachy and not even an off white as it's quite saturated. It does compliment your rusty terra cottas and your greens beautifully.
No matter what colors you pick, don't worry as I swear just changing the lighting completely changes the color and ambiance of the room. Seriously just change the bulbs in your fixtures from warm to cool or to daylight and it completely changes the landscape of the room. That more of a hot pink dining room could become a much more muted "dirty" color that you sound like you might be seeking with lights that have amber shades and warm bulbs in them. And changing out a bulb is so much cheaper and easier than repainting the room. ;-)
You're totally gonna smash it with whatever you choose. Congratulations on the new home!
great advice! thank you
I really like watching Ariel Bissett and her „Ariel builds her house“ (or similarly named series). And I am happy - besides the other chosen colors - to see the reds and greens. They will suit small people‘s sensory perciptivity for colors even better. You made intergenerational choices, Hannah 😊
I agree. Yes on Ariel. She’s big into color, and her before-during-after video work is well done.
Honestly, even though this isn’t what I showed up for, HLP moving/home reno content is my favorite
Thanks for sharing your thought process. I really like your pictures of your important existing possessions that you want to feature and enjoy in your new spaces. More of that, especially art, textiles and objeçt-finishes will help your mood board. I loved your proportional dots exercises. The continuity color that seems to be missing is the floor color and texture. If you decide not to go with continuous color drenching, door, window and trim color can also be continuity opportunities for visual flow as you move from room to room.
The architecture in your pictures is gorgeous. The arches frame each "VIEW" into each room. Try to imagine each view from each room including natural daylight and night time electric lighting that you intend. Then look at the transition edges for each color change. A bedroom can be color drenched with a clear color edge at the door frame. Even if the door and frame are "drenched" there is a clear inside color and outside color, even when the door opens into the bedroom with the non- bedroom color.
The trickier transitions will be deciding how to handle color changes at the arches that are plaster without wood trim. I am a big fan of only changing colors at inside corners or trim edges. One way of handling the all-plaster arches is to paint both sides of the arch wall the same color so it looks like a solid architectural element or mass.
So, if you color-drenched the dining room, carry that color around the outside edges of the arches into the next room all the way into the inside corner of that arch-wall in the next room. That will visually make the size of the dining room seem larger because the space now includes both sides of the dining room walls. That might also make the dining room feel less like a pass,-through space and more like its own color-anchored space.
If you are looking for inspiration, I think art museums are very good at handling color transitions, especially when they are displaying special traveling exhibits. I believe virtual tours of some museums are available online at museum websites or via "street view" on Google maps.
BTW, it may be possible to think of your green as a neutral color in the same way that navy blue is sometimes considered neutral. Just a thought.
Your outfit video where you talk about starting an outfit by picking practical shoes for your day's activities and weather influences me daily. I am wondering if you have identified what your "practical shoes" are for each of your rooms. What is the practical starting item for each room? Start with lighting? Start with chairs?
I love your wardrobe videos and I look forward to enjoying your home decor videos. I love color.
My favorite interior design vlog type youtuber is Ariel Bisset! I love the somewhat loose format but her explanations and talk-through her choices are always very captivating, not to mention she has really interesting tastes and doesn't shy away from color! More youthful in spirit but I just wanted to share my fav for inspiration if it strikes!
I have my ceiling painted the same color as the walls in every room of my house. One of the best decisions I made when painting.
I’m about to do mine a dark blue black or gray black I want to do the windows trimming as well but not sure if I should!!
When you got to the "And Then..." I was like: "It's going to be green" 🤣 I love it!!!
I love how you showcased the colour with the different sized circles! So aesthetic love the colour scheme!
What a beauty palette! And I think that the vibrant watermelon red could easily live harmoniously in that space as a beautiful lamp or bowl or textile something. What a happy accident that green cupboard is. It’s such a joyful piece of furniture.
Never Too Small has a compelling approach for showing spaces and explaining the thoughts that shaped them.
The dining room color reminded me of How To Renovate a Château and their dining room.
The evolution of your visuals from grid images & dots to the programmatic array of proportioned reference was rather inspiring. I look forward to seeing both what and how you will show this branch of your applied aesthetic explorations.
As a color strategist, I'm jumping up and down about your process and discoveries. And maybe to no surprise, your upper-right pink hue has so much in common with the Merit lipstick case color. Paint on--and remember you can paint closet interiors or even the interior door trim saturated colors like the watermelon. Congrats on flowing with all the changes.
I think the Merit pink would be great as an accent colour - cushions, a vase etc. ? It would make the house completely Hannah-esque in my eyes 😊 kind of missing it now when it's gone.
Colour drench. It will look amazing. If you don't already 'The Great Outdoors' is an amazing interior decorating podcast.
What a beautiful mood board. I’ll be interested to see how the house speaks to you once you are actually in it. There are so many factors of light and shadow and warmth that you can’t conceptualize without spending some time there in different seasons. And if it’s an old house, it might have its own logic you haven’t seen yet. So excited to follow along and see what you end up choosing!
Painting color tip- take into consideration the window film and object colors from outside that will impact the color on your walls.Lisa Holt, here on TH-cam, talks about that and reflective qualities. Helped us a ton- our windows have grey, blue, and green tint (put on by previous owners through the years) and the outdoor shadows also play a role :-)
Another vote for Ariel Bissett. Lovely series, realistic look at home reno, great use of color, tons of books, just a delight.
I like the muted terracota color. It's much tranquil and softer for the eye. Plus, it looks classy❤ The intense red is just to harsh and it looks more rustic/mexican western style (not that it's bad but it's more for an hacienda concept).
I loved this! So good to see all of the mental gymnastics that happens when you're planning out your space holistically. This is the kind of content I wanted to find when I was renovating my kitchen and bathroom. Everyone shows the construction and final finishes but not the hours and hours spent researching products and making decisions between what things to buy/what to put back, and aligning all your pieces to the vision you had at the start, without getting derailed by all the beautiful things and different directions to go!
An architect I follow (undercover architect) describes projects in 4 steps; pre-design, design, pre-build, and build, could be good to follow that format for content creation so you cover all the stages? 😊
I FUHREAKING LOVE how you intellectually and visually mapped your imagination this way! How. Stinkin. Cool?!
It may be that the white in the “airy yet moody” photo feels like it has more dimension because of the molding on the wall, which literally adds dimension 😁 (Luckily, it can be a relatively easy thing to add to a wall, if you so desire). Loving the interior design content you’ve been doing lately ❤
I love color drenching! I was scared, that I’d hate the intensity of it over time though. Then I thought of using scalable shades of the main color. As in, adding white to my main color for the woodwork and then adding white again for the ceiling. I think I have mixed feelings about the result. I love, love, love it…and I kinda wish I had been more fearless in a way too. And I think your color scheme is perfect!!
Hi! I’ve really enjoyed Ariel Bisset’s content on interior design and home renovations. That is to say, slow, honest, for her tastes rather than resale value. I trust you though. I’m looking forward to it! I’ve always thought you have such a good eye for design, so I’d love to see how it splashes into your home. :)
My parents have a dining room in that shade of muted red/dark salmon and I’ve always thought it looks great!
The last two blanks spots were showing in your grid and I said “you need green!” And then you chose green. Excellent!
I really enjoy Paige Wassel’s home updates. I also enjoy Caroline Winkler’s videos!
Second Paige Wassel for sure. A unique and down-to-earth yt creator. I think her spaces and the spaces she features have a very lived-in feel as well.
Caroline is great!
Such fantastic graphics at the end! Loved the breakdown. And over the MOON that the new house is a purchase for you guys! How absolutely incredible and congrats!
I feel like the best format would be similar to that of your fashion content. Start with sharing a mood board for what you would like in the room and then follow up with the transformation with some explanation of your thought process. I'm excited to see what you do with the new space.
Congratulations on buying your first home, Hannah! What an exciting chapter :)
I am also going to recommend Ariel Bissett's house series specifically because it is very grounded in reality and the time it takes to make things happen in a house reno. She's also not a professional interior designer and is really avoiding trends or tried and true design tips and just doing what her heart wants
One of my favourite renovation series was from Freddy My Love. She did a London Town house renovation series and the way she organised the videos made them easy to watch and follow 😇 so excited! Congratulations to you guys, we are house shopping at the minute and it’s so wild!!
That is one of my favourites as well! Our styles are very different but her being so sure and unapologetic about her own taste was super inspiring, and like you said the way it was all organised made it easy to watch.
right before you told the IKEA story I was genuinely thinking to myself "IT NEEDS GREEN" 😂it really rounds off the color story!!! I'm obsessed!!!
Pro tip for when you get too emotionally invested in a Farrow & Ball shade: Just take their free swatch to Lowe’s, and have them make it in Valspar or whatever more affordable (but still totally great quality!) brand you choose. I’m doing that right now with Pink Ground, which I’m putting on the walls, ceilings, and skylight bays of my upstairs hallway and stairwell. They mixed the perfect shade match for me, and I don’t feel shortchanged by just getting flat paint vs. the chalky emulsion of FB - it’s a perfect, nearly indistinguishable vibe dupe. And I might have to do the same with FB’s Red Earth (a very good rusty terracotta coral red!) for the lower stairwell landing leading into the dining room, where we’ve also been toying with painting the ceiling, unlike the other downstairs rooms. I’m so frickin pumped.
Green is a neutral! And once your plants enter the chat, I love it w your board!
Congratulations on buying a new home! I love Ariel Bissett's content on her home renovations. I imagine you won't be making such extensive changes to your new home, but the form and intentionality of her content makes it both soothing and informative. Maybe there's inspiration there for you.
I will also say that in the last two years or so I have gravitated away from makeup content (how I first found you) and am much more interested aesthetically in clothing and interiors. Still, I love your channel and am excited to see some broader content from you outside of makeup!
Love Ariel's home content!
Congratulations on becoming homeowners, that's so exciting! I look forward to seeing your vision come to life and your house becoming a home. ❤
Loved hearing this about your process and glad that you nixed the lighter brighter red. Having matched colors to rooms myself I've noticed that matching too much stuff to walls can end up looking a little forced. I think the muckier terracotta in the dining room is going to look fantastic with your actual red stuff. Love the ochre too. ❤
Yes, yes, yes to everything !!!
And I totally agree about the green : it makes the space feel more "alive" (if that makes any sense) !
They’re the colours of Autumn 😊👍🏻. Looks great
I recently bought a condo and painted one room before moving in. My bedroom walls are purple, and the ceiling is dark blue covered in holographic silver glitter. It's like the night sky and makes me so happy. Color is so much fun to play with. Best of luck with figuring out what you want for your new home!
Risk it like a biscuit with any wall paint!! (dramatic or not, saturated or not). You can always paint over. I say this as a visual artist with artist friends who also sometimes work doing high end faux-finished interiors on Park Avenue. We tend to be risky with the paint, and it's worth it. You can always paint over. Quick anecdote re: the salmon color. Years ago, I went to a big dinner with a bunch of artists from my college. It was at the home of a couple of students (24-year-old married couple). The living room AND dining room were the terracotta/salmon just like your Pinterest pics. It turns out the wife had painted it herself the day before, without consulting her husband, so he was pretty surprised when he got home from work. The consensus around the table was that we all loved it. (Sorry this is so long but I seem to have a lot to say about color in the home). And Ok--I will add this--my advice is to be more emotional than cerebral about your color choices. My own bedroom is deep aqua green with rusty orange sheer curtains, white painted wood floor, white vintage chenille bedspread--because it evokes a room from my childhood. And I'm so happy with it.
Some of the colors on the mood board or of items you already have, brought to mind my favorite bird, the female cardinal, which I feel is one of the most beautiful in the US. Your home will be lovely. Looking forward to seeing the end result!
"Working on not resisting" is a good philosophy.
The ikea story was just so beautiful it made me cry ❤. Love throws a wrench in all of our perfectly laid plans, and they turn out better than we could ever have imagined alone
words cannot describe how excited I am for the future career of your new home
I love all of Ariel Bissett's home remodeling videos. At least from the outside it seems as though the production of her videos is not as intense as many other home remodeling channels iv seen. Her storytelling is great and her videos portray a realistic, un-rushed and inadvertently anti-consumerist way of sprucing up an entire house.
First, I love you and how you approach and appreciate life. I think you're doing it right. Second, I think green is a universal accent color -- plants! I also think it can be a neutral, like blue jeans.
Love your ideas. Don't be scared to do what you want. It will all come together as you go. My room is boohoo themed, green and mustard and yellow. My living room is grey with one wall bright red with grey stripes. My kitchen is grey and black. Not everyone loves my style but I just think my house style is stunning. Live for your own happiness ❤
I was JUST thinking about how earthy bold greens here and there throughout in glass and plants and curtains and pillows, lil pops of it, would go SO beautifully to tie it all together. And then I saw that the section I was on was called earthy greens lol. I feel like watching your videos for a couple years has taught me about your wonderful understanding of colours and designs
I am so excited for you. I hope we get a poem out this adventure
My partner and I are also renovating right now and all the decisions are overwhelming.
I also find that interior design (and interior design content) is extremely focused on buying everything new. It's been a long time since I've been so completely bombarded with with the message that I have to buy, buy, buy.
Slow fashion has been a thing for a while, where is slow decorating? Because the challenges are somewhat different when everything "new" is bought second hand and I find it difficult to balance having a clear enough vision that the end result is somewhat cohesive, and at the same time fluid enough that the result is allowed to be decided in part by what we happen to find.
I’m watching this video and realized you have summed up my house’s color scheme and I can tell you it works! We have a color drenched rust/terra cotta bedroom, warm off white for the main room, and all our accents are earthy green and mustard/ochre. It sounds weird but nature inspired colors just tend to work together, and ultimately if you like it things will just ‘go.’ Also the good thing about doing a bold paint look is that you can always change it fairly easily 👍
Love to see that you’re embracing the gray hair 💓
Another thing about the green, add lots of plants to your space then the green pieces won’t feel out of place!
I color drenched my hallway in a deep teal that I mixed up myself from F&B colors. Everyone told me I'd regret it but I love it, absolutely love it. It's not quite the heart of the home, but it's the heart of the bedroom half of the home and it's soooo cozy. And Cloud White from Benjamin Moore is a very nice warm white color (if you don't want to lay down the cash for F&B) that I've used for all my ceilings and white spaces
I’m glad you stopped panicking, that green goes very well with the rusty terracotta
I adore the coolness of the brown of your shirt and your lips, and I am SO excited to follow along on your color journey for your new home. Congratulations! - from another terracotta dishwear set. Tangerine tango for life!
I really enjoy (as I think I've seen a couple people say already) Ariel Bissett for house stuff as well as Caroline Winkler. Will also put out Rachel Maksy - though when she does house/decor stuff it's more on the side of cottage/fantasy vibes but I love her - highly chaotic.
I’m moving soon and looking at paint colors. Now I have so many more ideas to keep
in mind! Thank you!
I color drenched my bedroom in a rich wine color with an ochre-y accent wall and i highly recommend that color drenched, cave like feel for that sleeping room. It's super cozy and relaxing.
Looking at your mood board, I might rethink my "no wood" decision as I love the warm earthy tones. I had originally planned all black furniture with a more sleek and modern feel but now I'm thinking antique lawyered pieces for character.
This was Great Hannah. I hope you have tons of fun with decorating.
🥹😭 I remember when you made a video talking about coming to terms with your life and things you would and wouldn’t have. I’m so excited for you and your family to have this journey and home. Congrats!
Hannah, this is so funny! We very organically hit on a very similar color palette in our house. The one thing I was extremely adamant about when we finally bought our home was that I didn't want to live in a renter's beige/white purgatory anymore. The dining room is three shades of tonal green. The living room is a much lighter, muted version of your red dining room (more peachy/pinky salmon). The master bed is a moody grey, almost blue. I've bought an airy yellow for the kitchen but haven't painted yet. I absolutely love it. To me it feels like painting your nails vs. wearing makeup. Whatever beautiful things you move in and out of your home, it's good to have that more permanent layer of color to just keep everything looking polished and cohesive.
As for content creators doing interiors, I love the way that Paige Wassel does periodic updates on her home. She always has great content, but sometimes she's just like "hey, I bought this lamp and moved this art around and I'm loving the way it's looking now!" Very low key, but it give me a lot of inspiration about how to use the things I have in my home in a new way. Congratulations and good luck on the new place!
Ooo loved the lived in YES!! I love the French farmhouse style or the Cotswolds cottages cozy and homey 💕
You'll be happy with the green pieces! The interior walls of our house are varying shades of a light-mid-and deeper tone of a greenish gray ~ everyone who comes over asks us ~ what is that wonderful color? It makes the house more cohesive (IMO) and no matter what decor ~ furniture ~ accessories ~ art work ~ it goes with that greenish gray color.
This is some professional mood boarding and colour analysis! 👏🏽
Speaking of showing the process, I really enjoy Kylie Flavell's Renovating a ruin series or American Viscountess and her little Italian house. Highly highly watchable.
Love your color scheme. It’s interesting but still serene. Love this kind of content because 1) it seems consistent with the rest of your content, which I always enjoy; and 2) color schemes make my heart beat faster. Especially F&B color schemes.
We had a F&B color consultation for a flat in the UK and it was really useful. We generally knew what we wanted, as you do, but with different the different aspects of the rooms, different uses for rooms, different amounts of light, including a long dark hall, etc it was really excellent to have that consultation. Which white do you want in which room? Which color red will give you the effect you want? The colors they suggested have turned out to be perfect.
The consultation wasn’t that expensive and might be interesting content.
Congrats on buying a home!!! I hope you will enjoy the process of transforming it and making it your own. How exciting!!!
I can’t tell you how happy I am to hear you talking about this. I have been thinking about how to paint our house since we moved in 2 years ago, and I keep thinking of your aesthetic because I love it and want my space to reflect how I feel when I watch your videos, but I also notice I keep being drawn to more brightly colored walls and spaces as I explore Pinterest and other avenues of inspiration. I have been thinking, ‘what would Hannah do?’ ❤
lovely aesthetic, the muted red you selected is soo inspiring. a suggestion though.. those ikea acrylic chairs are not the most comfortable. i think it's important for dining chairs to be comfy if you're using it for that purpose. xox
This is oddly similar to what I am doing with our space. We're in love with olive and deep chocolate browns like walnut and leather. I chose to add creams and soft blond woods to warm up the darker colors and add pops of black, bronze, and ambers/oranges/reds. We're renting, so it's all furniture, art, or decor. I made a mood board similar to how Lone Fox does his, so I can see how pieces we like/have come together. Soon as we get a place of our own, I will be color drenching myself!
Wow I love that you don’t shy from color in the home. I certainly do, I struggle with commitment to a style when I feel that I flit around between different styles in my mind
Girl I am here for all of it! I don't have the same aesthetic as you BUT! We definitely are aligned in our theories of why we are doing what we are doing lol if that makes any sense haha. What I mean to say is that I am totally here for it. I want to see it cuz I'm doing similar (in different color ways) in my own home and your video is giving me so much encouragement and inspo. I am LOVING your content!
I'm excited for you & your new house! I've always rented, so my wall colors were chosen for me, but I try to make up for it with my decor. I often dream of owning my own space & doing what I want to it without taking others into consideration. I'll be following your progress, living vicariously through your documented experience of making a house your home!
I adore your palette and agree with omitting the “poppy red.” You can always add that as smaller pops in subtle ways. My home palette includes MANY colors, but I haven’t tired of them in almost 20 years!
Hallways/Kitchen/Bathrooms- Buttery yellow
Bedrooms/Den: Mossy greens
Living Room at entrance: Terracotta
I am in AWE at how beautifully thorough your research and visualization project/method is. I always feel like I have visions of what I want in my mind but then just "stumble" upon items or opportunities and make split second decitions. This is really inspiring me to reaaally get into pinterest again lol. I'm here for the home project!! I think a vloggy/sit down combo might do great.
