*Editing and Balance* . I've been in my 1300 sq. ft. home for almost ten years. My aesthetic hasn't changed much, but, the way I style my home has. I'm all for using what you have, upcycling, thrifting and having "place" holders. As I've matured, and learned what brings me joy, I've paired back a lot. I don't like visual clutter, I do like to style for the seasons, and the balance happened when I swapped the overly ornate and feminine and added in more rustic/masculine pieces. I learned how to carry a color palette from room to room for a cohesive look and where to add vignettes. I no longer feel like I have to re-invent the wheel for seasonal styling. I try not to style in the same way year-to-year, just use what I have in a fresh way. Home is a sanctuary for me and I enjoy walking in the door and feeling like I just got a warm and cozy embrace. It's a process, not a race. You make small tweaks as you can and eventually it all comes together.
ahhh! This just makes me so so happy!!
Love this!
Love this!!!
Agree! Splurge on good help. I make well under $20 an hour and am paying someone $80/ hr to help finish my kitchen. I’m going to do the floor and lower beadboard walls and paint, but he and his helper are doing the 220 electrical and hanging heavy cabinets. I’ve got to work 2-1/2 weeks to pay him for one day, but it’s still worth it!
Thank you. You made all the points I was trying to make. Love it!
One of your best videos yet! Interior Psychiatry ❤️❤️❤️❤️
You coined a great phrase. Love it 🙌
eeekkk!! thank you and yes! I really believe it is so powerful!
I literally spend most of my time when I’m not working, designing my home to be the sanctuary that I want. I feel like most people don’t understand that but maybe they do maybe there are more people like us. I think it’s a place that makes you feel comfy, safe and away from distractions.
Thanks Valentina. ❤
My decorating budget is only $40 a week, sometimes I save for months to get something. I love the game :) and I’ve made huge changes in my house over the years.
For most of our marriage I had $20 a week for all spending money. It took time to bring everything together, but there's so much joy in the journey, don't you think?!
@@HouseofValentina yes! It’s a fun fun game!
$40/week is a lot for me..that's basically what I do per month
Absolutely fantastic video! I have fallen victim to buying 20 small cheap things instead of the one thing that I really love and/or was a show stopper. I would love a video about the balance in design.
To me, this was one of your best videos! It really helps prioritize the purchases when creating your home. Great Video
oh yay! I'm so glad you found it helpful! xoxo
Love this video.
Preach it, girl! Your home should be a refuge and should restore your soul. We can’t do much with the space we work in, but our home is in our control. I think that mostly, people need to clean and declutter to feel better.
yess!! that's so true! It's so therapeutic just to purge and clean!
Well said Julie!
20:55 - 21:37 I couldn agreed more. My husband and I purchase a 1980s home, embarking on years of renovations. Despide my pride in our home, I refrained from inviting friends over during this period, as the constant construction left it looking perpetually messy. Living in a constantly under-construction home was incredible stressful for our marrage, but it taught us valuable lessons about each other. There were countless day where I felt upset and exhausted. As someone who thrives on social interaction and hosting, it was difficult not feeling proud of our home. I missed my friends and the vibrant social life I once had. Finally, when the renovations were complete and our home looked stunning, it was time to sell. looking back, I realized it was bittersweet moment, as the journey had been fraught with constant arguments with my husband over costs, design, and materials. Despite the challenges, that beautiful home stands today as a poignant lesson of life.
It’s so true the people that follow this channel are some of the kindest generous souls, my home is being transformed one wall at a time!!
I made a power move, inspired by you I painted my fireplace dark blue. Everyone was skeptical. I stuck to my vision and now I grin every time I walk into my living room. Thank you Valentina
Firstly, I love the phrase of a ‘power move’ to make your room alive. I’ve heard other designers calling them ‘hero pieces’ to balance a room. However power move describes how impactful and meaningful our favourite pieces can be.
What I mostly enjoyed was the emphasis on having a home that you love and the impact it has on you. I truly believe it’s a mental health requirement for all of us to have beauty in our lives. It’s nurturing, soothing and restorative to our whole being. Having a safe and loving place to retreat to is a basic human right, and having them beautiful, artful and creative I think should be considered equally as important. Thank you Valentina for discussing this.
In a couple of months, I’m having a kitchen renovation that I’ve waited 16 years for. I’m so excited. It’s going to allow me to do a lot of editing and time to think about what to keep and what to sell. I’ve now got a clarification on how to make those decisions and I’m grateful for it. Thanks again ❤
My sofa was my first actual "splurge" item. I was buying a big girl sofa for the first time and I wanted to do it right. Got a neutral, classic leather chesterfield, and it has served me SO well over the years. Splurging on the right items saves you money over time.
I wish I had done that from the beginning! That's such a good example of what we can achieve by making wise choices along the way!
Valentina i just have to say you are absolutely the best and please never stop laughing and been cheerful and transmitting all that good energie along with all that knowledge that you have💖
Yes please! Do a whole video about the balance of power and calm (per your comments at around 15 mins in)! 😊
Yes to more content about how to create a balance of power move and calm!
I learned the power move and balance naturally by watching you for the last 2 years. Just couldn’t describe it. You have changed my decorating life with this idea of power moves and balance.
Omg! What you said about making your home a place you love... that is so true! HOME should be your SANCTUARY. I'm so conscious of the things I bring in. If it doesn't bring a sense of joy, no matter how little, it really shouldn't be there. Thank you 💕
This is my favorite video from you! Long term universal tips... It can apply to anyone, renters or owners, people at any stage! The compounding mistake, brilliant! Thank you!
And, yes I would love to hear more about creating a balance between power and calm pieces in my cozy apartment!!
Its not dangerous to fail. This is the only way to learn. The concept of CALM & POWERFULL is soo good. And how to spend your money. Please talk even more about this. This is so important! Let me yell you, you are the best inspiration on TH-cam! I looove your videos. Love from Denmark 🇩🇰
So helpful to identify where it’s best to splurge! Loved the clarity that brought. Also appreciated the encouragement to save up for what’s important and to take out what bothers you. And you are SO sweet!! 😊
“If you luck out and hate it early enough …” Yeeeesssss! 😂
Long time follower. I have enjoyed how you have evolved in accessories. I am a lifetime minimalist. Power move… design your home that creates peace when you wake up everyday. Thank you for all your energy and advice!
I wish I knew that living with someone that has a complete different view and style than yourself makes it very difficult to realise the dreamhouse that you truly want....and also You Can Not change someones taste!!! ❤
That can be a very big challenge and definitely requires compromise on both sides!
@@HouseofValentinait’s a BIG challenge and it’s a great time to hire an interior designer ❤
You were preaching!! ❤😂 "Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts." - Winston Churchill
Look at you getting all philosophical before you even had your coffee! Luring us in with the pretty things and keeping us around with deep thoughts. All good advice though. As I get older, I feel like I'm getting better at balancing the save items and splurge items but it took some time. And then I got a cat and had to learn that lesson all over again! She doesn't need every cute cat toy and bed - she mostly just wants to hang out in a box or on fresh laundry! But learning to show restraint is a big one - how often do we buy something because it's a good deal just to find out that it doesn't fit your lifestyle or decor?! It's an ever evolving process.
Valentina…I recently discovered your channel, and I love it! One of the things you mentioned in this video was realizing that we don’t have to live with our mistakes….I wish I had known this, and given myself permission to let go of the things that were mistakes. I held onto things for years because it was a gift, or it cost a lot of money, or because it had belonged to a dead loved one, or a thousand other different reasons, not realizing that it was within my power to let these mistakes go! Learning this lesson was such a valuable game changer for me….even though my home is very modern and minimal, I only have things in it that I truly want and love…and that makes all the difference in the world!😊
Absolutely. I discovered during decluttering that I was only holding on to things because they were from the 80s or part of a collection (mainly books). I had to ask myself if I liked them or just kept them because they were old. As soon as I put them in the donate pile or bin, there was a sense of relief and each choice was 100% successful for me. One piece I kept was a wood burning I did in ‘83 but I painted over it and turned it into a riser. I’m learning about only having things I love and it is making a massive difference when I need it the most.
By far, the most powerful and best episode yet. 👍🏴
I am moving in nine days and needed this video to prioritize and breathe through the process. It is better to live without rather than fill the spaces. I barely know the rhythm of this new and larger home. I am more comfortable with empty spaces, because of your perspective and guidance.
Best video. The guilt we feel after we buy and regret is real.
Valentina, this video has been one of the most amazing video you have ever posted. I have followed you since the beginning and through out all of these years I have learned so much to be selective with my decore. Not only has helped me to keep my home elevated but also to keep my wardrobe elegant and beautiful! Thank you for teaching me and sharing your wisdom! ❤🙏🥰
Oh V you really got me emotional with this one. My house makes me feel down as there's so much needs doing to it. I know if it was all done I would be so happy. I feel like my life has been on hold for so long because of it. Money is a big factor, finding the right trades people to do stuff is another but we hope to start this year (said that before). My health and wellbeing will really improve once it's done, I know it will. People say it's just a house don't worry about it but it means so much more than that to me. You were spot on with everything in this video xx
I really do believe that there's a balance. Yes, it's just a home and it's a process and we can't let the process keep us from enjoying each day we are given, but I think when we begin to move towards the dream the inertia is what also helps us find that peace and joy along the way! xoxo
Thank you V x
My couches and the decor style. Through you and your channel, I am creating my dream home, one day at a time. I hope to hire you one day!
Hi Valentina, I have been following your channel now for 3 years. I love how you have designed your house. I have the same likings and style. My house is also in black and white but has also incorporated wood. When I saw you started incorporating wood and tan in your house, it just brought a smile on my face and a feeling of achievement as well. I have learned a lot from you. Thanks for your videos.
One thing I splurge on is a good quality framer for my wall art. I've never regretted it.
I love the black and white decor-Stunning!
Forgiving myself for a bad purchase is such a hard thing to do!😂😂😅 but it always feels so great when you admit it and pass it on!❤ I’ve had to learn that the hard way too. Thankyou, Valentina for sharing your wisdom and knowledge with us.
We really do beat ourselves up about it, don't we?
Unbeknownst to you, you have literally helped me redesign my whole living room and kitchen… You’re my little interior design TH-cam Yoda. Thank you for the video!!!
ahhh!! You are going to make me cry! That makes me so happy!! xoxo
You go girl!! You were on fire today!
The thing that resonated the most with what you said, was about living with the mistakes we make. I also am a perfectionist. I hate making mistakes! And when it comes to my home I have made several. The willingness to admit to myself that I made a mistake is difficult. But I’ve made some splurgy mistakes that I made myself live with for WAY to long!
Thanks for the great reminders today.
Thank you so much , we learn a lot 🙌🏾.I enjoyed everything in this video 🙏🏾. We are blessed to have you Valentina 💕.
After Years of following You it just keeps getting more exciting every time You Teach !😁😁😁😁😁
yay!! I'm so happy to be on this journey with you!!
I love your phrase of "building your dream"! This is a great reminder that nothing is ever finished and it's okay to just be in the process of dreaming, saving, creating, and evolving. Thank you V! Xx 🤍
Goodmorning Valentina, Hope you are having a wonderful Sunday. I eally enjoyed this episode. I hate the idea of spending $$$ ibig bucks on a sofa. I live in a beauiful studio and now I'm feeling that I'll make the investment and get me a descent sofa. I'm looking at something or 3 seating, around $1,000. I now know that I will have to go out and try some sofas before I invest that much money, and I'll have to save for about 3 months to aford one. Listening to you today made me realize , yeah, gor for it girl!
Excellent! There is so much truth to the power your environment has to make or break your spirit and enjoyment of life! It’s the same power a personal makeover has. People come alive when they are nurtured deeply and this is one you do with, by and for yourself and loved ones everyday. Thank you for such enlightenment.
What a great video! So many nuggets of wisdom… One of the greatest is that we live in our home and it should be a place of refuge and peace! Thanks for this great video Valentina! Would love a video about power moves and balance in decor… Trying to learn how to be bold but neutral on a budget
Valentina, your talk today resonates with me profoundly. I am happy to say that almost from the beginning of my decorating "career" I have followed that advice. I don't own, and never have owned, anything that I didn't love. Some things I gradually outgrew and gave away but I loved them until then. I have items I bought 30 to 40 years ago that I still love and, interestingly, some of them are being touted today as cutting edge design, such as old dough bowls, primitive, aged pots, marble, stone materials. Like you I keep evolving and have enormous fun doing it. Ever since I was 13, when I realized I could actually create my own environment it has been a passion and continual source of joy. But for the internet I would never have known there were others like me. I am so, so grateful for creative people like yourself. They make my life so rich.
Thank you Valentina 🙏 for all you do.❤️
Love you and so happy I found you.
🙏
100% agree with all of your points and their relevant no matter what style you choose. I think your house is absolutely gorgeous, but I could never live in it, the same way. You could probably never live in my house because I am a color lover. That being said, I use original oil art pieces as power pieces in my house, and I don't splurge on items that may be trendy or are easy to replace and change out. The one thing I would caution, I don't do overly expensive candles, but I don't do cheap candles because the better quality candles with less chemicals and more pure ingredients do tend to come at a higher cost
That's so true about the candles! And many of my family and friends has loads of color in their home and I genuinely enjoy it with them!
I love you too! I get so much from your videos and I love your heart. ❤
Wow, thank you!
Great video Valentina. I was just admitting to my husband this morning that I made a mistake with our paint choice. Sometimes, you don't know until you are living with something for a while. Hopefully, we will repaint this summer 🤞😊
It's painful, but sometimes you just need to change it! You will always be happier in the end!
I would love a video on how to create that dynamic interest on contrasts in my home. I've been a huge fan of your channel since a friend introduced it to me years ago and I have learned so much! Thank you!
Thank you for this video. When I watch you, I feel like I can do anything
I love to decorate also,I got rid of a lot of stuff and only have out what I love. I don't have money to do a lot of things, but just trimming things down makes it look like I made a difference.Im more relaxed in my home now .Like to watch your videos. Keep on laughing,it's contagious!
yess!! I found some old photos from Morocco and Copenhagen that I think if anyone is interested, I might do a video with to show the progression. At one point we had almost nothing left and then begin the process of rebuilding.
Why did u just make me cry?? Love this video ….. can’t wait to make my ‘Power’ moves in my new home…. If only it was easier to get rid of all this stuff collected over the years….. downsizing from a five bedroom to a three bedroom……need your help….. this video was valuable! Xo
Yes, your home is your sanctuary! I am in total agreement that admitting a mistake and moving on is the best way to go. In the past I have tried to "make it work" when in reality I should have just donated the piece and moved on. Such great advice.
Oh Dear I am elated every time You are here !😂❤😅😊❤
I feel the same way about you guys!! Truly! I'm so happy the internet helped us find each other!
My home is my sanctuary. I try to choose each element carefully, I tinker and build certain pieces of furniture, at my own pace, not fast. Wisdom and patience, life brought it to me the hard way after a difficult period of life which showed me to what extent my house must be my refuge, and a tight budget requires me to invest thoughtfully.
It's always good to remember that.
Quick question: where does the white cup that we see in this video come from?
Thank you so much for this video, I really enjoyed it. I love the thought of getting stuff out that you don’t love, even though it was a good deal or it was expensive, if you don’t love it, it should not be in your home. I love my home and as I get older, it’s more important to me to be surrounded by things I love. Also, I just love your passion for what you do; you are so inspiring!!!
You are so welcome!
This was such a powerful video! Thank you and blessings to you and yours Lady V❣️🌹❤️🙏🏾
I just discovered you/your work/this channel and must thank you for enthusiastically sharing your genuine self. Your energy and commitment is inspiring. Helpful advice, too! I’m grateful.
I 💯 percent agree with everything you said in this video!! My home is my happy place & after living here for 9 years now, I finally have it pretty much mistake proof! There is no place like home, as Dorothy would say.
I totally agree Valentina. Unfortunately my biggest home mistake is the wood floors I chose. I hate the stain and I’m stuck. Sanding and refinishing is such a huge mess and inconvenience, I can’t even imagine. But I’ve definitely gone through so many decor items that was time to pass on. It feels so much better to get rid of unused items. The house feels lighter and happier, and of course there’s the fun of buying new ones.
ugh!!! Yeah, when it's a big surface like that it's so painful. Maybe it just goes on the "When it's time" list and in the meantime using rugs to soften the blow can go a long way!
I had a silk scarf and had it made in to pillows, they are gorgeous!
oooohh! I did that with some of my maternity clothes. I turned them into pillows so I could remember those sweet days!
I love the only add things in your home that you love.
I 💯 agree with you, Valentina. Only have the things that you love in your home. And you will feel calm and relaxing. 😊
Paint is powerful. I transformed my space - with only _paint._ It’s relatively cheap and is the most effective way to get a new space. You can push your comfort zones here and absolutely surprise yourself!
And if you don’t like it - IT’S ONLY PAINT.
yesssss!!!
I completely agree! We all deserve to live in beautiful homes that make us feel warm, cozy and content
I have enjoyed your videos and they motivated me to start making updates to my home. Great advice on when to splurge! My mom would always say quality not quantity. Thank you for all the great tips and recommendations on items, I have purchased many always pleased with the quality. ❤
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 awesome video! Sometimes we just need to hear it’s ok to get rid of something!
Love this video! These two phrases “showing restraint and knowing what to spurge” are so true!
I enjoyed this from the beginning to the end.. ❤️
Valetina, you make me feel so much better. During my home renovation I have commited a lot of mistakes, still getting them fixed. I was feeling really bad untill now, thank you so much❤
Best video ever! This is so me. I have done the mistake and lived with it so may times. I hate my house decor so many times and tried to like it.
I’m a fairly new subscriber and this video has helped me….so much! I’m sitting in my home and it looks like my Mom. I’ll explain.
I like antiques; much of my home is filled with really beautiful antiques that I’ve collected but more so, have been given to me by my parents.
In the last few years my style has been changing and something has begun to really irritate me. As you were talking it was dawning on me that I’m surrounded by things that look like my Mother, not me. There’s been an obligation to keep them because they’ve been gifts, heirlooms, and they’re valuable.
It’s time to fill my home with objects that more accurately reflect my tastes, and I’m not going to keep things out of obligation. Of course there will be some that I keep because I really love them, but I don’t love a lot of it.
Thank you for this video.
Fb marketplace and consignment stores might help a lot. By all means try to get more from your valuable pieces, but realize lots of antiques aren’t as valuable as most people think.
This is such an important message, Valentina. I actually had to explain to my sister that she didn’t need to keep everything I ever gave her. Letting go is okay. Here’s an extension of this same line of thinking. When someone “needs” to pass something forward to me, I accept … without question … in order to help them. It’s kind of a service really. It’s so hard for some people to let things go … well past the time when the thing last “sparked joy.” Sometimes they really want to let go, but have guilt …. unless …. unless they “gift it.” Of course, I pass it forward, donate, or recycle the thing more easily, because I don’t have the same emotional attachment. Super helpful for relatives downsizing. The funny thing is that even though the person realizes those end tables or that frame, book, etc. did not end up in my living room, they never ask, because they don’t actually want the thing back. 😅
Love the story about the pink poof!! Actually it's a relief to hear I'm allowed to make mistakes! Phew. I love the wisdom and authenticity in this video. Thank you
I would like to see a video/discussion on how to be repurpose or let go of antique/sentimental furniture and accessories.
Great video!! So true , you have to invest in the things that get the most wear and tear. You and Jack are my favorites for sure. Much love to you and family ❤
I like the idea to declutter first. Take your time renovating, it doesn’t have to be all done at once.
OMG, I felt this video 😊 I started this not buying bcuz it's cute & that's why I'm not buying anything from your H&M haul 😂 I did Enjoy it though ❤ Take care!
I think another tip is asking someone who knows your style and has a similar style or good taste if something you’re contemplating buying goes well with wherever you’re going to put it and do you have space for it. I have a specific style but I often see things that don’t fit it but I like, I like too many things sometimes so I’ve ended up with a mismatch of decor that doesn’t work together. So I ask a friend if she likes things and if it goes well and when she says no I trust her. I’m an artist and she isn’t so we are very different but she has a different perspective and she hasn’t been wrong. I also measure spaces and make sure it will fit or if I don’t I’ll call my hubby and ask him to measure quickly to ensure it fits, that has saved me from making mistakes and having to lug something back to the store.
Love it! Thanks for sharing!
Valentina! You are hilarious!! I love watching your videos, they give the best advice and make me smile.
aww! yay!! 😘😘
I like your advice to start taking out what I dontfirst
❤❤❤ this video.
You're preaching to the choir! I've been there and continue to make those smart choices and got rid of the perfectly good, but unattractive sofa that no one but the cat sat on,to replace with a very pretty much more my style sofa that still only myself enjoys along with the cat sometimes, but I smile every time I look into the room or sit and enjoy a cup of coffee or glass of wine and just love it! It was something I had wanted to do forever, but always found something more practical to spend the money on. It was my treat to myself, didn't even get my husband's input because I was doing it for me. He did help me remove the old sofa from the living room so the men could come and pick it up. It was actually my daughter who said something very wise to me one day that just stuck in my mind. She simply said that maybe if I changed the room to make it more my style, that I would enjoy it more and it would be a space I would actually use. I really hadn't thought of it that way, because it was a room I never used, but now I love it, and the sofa was just the first thing I changed. I love your channel and enjoy watching your videos because I can always take away something from them.
I love this 'soapbox' video, Valenina. Thanks for teaching us how to choose, then focus on things that are most important to us. I think your principles work for both money and time... decorating and life in general.
Valentina, I just adore you and I am so thankful for you. You are such a breath of fresh air. I can’t always afford to buy things for my home but when I am ready to buy something I always look to you first because you really think out the things you present to us and make sure that we are getting something worth while, and if I’m going to buy something and I can buy it from a sweet person like you, well, that’s a win-win for me. This is one of my favorite videos from you in a long time. Thank you, Valentina ❤
But to answer your question: I get a little bit of A.D.D. compulsivity and buy things that don’t fit in my space, whether stylistically or otherwise. I need to practice restraint. I also have a hard time passing on a good deal. Anyway, thank you, again.
Oh I just loved this video .... definitely agree with buying a good statement piece rather than itsy bits that clutter your home ..I've totally been there thanks so much for sharing xx
LOVED this video! Gotta go! I need to get rid of things in my home I don’t love. Thank you!!
You are hilarious Valentina!❤ Thanks for all you do, and more importantly sharing your knowledge each and every week. You are one of a kind.,❤🙏
Loved everything you said, love home design and I am made so many mistake and needed to hear this.
You have always been, and continue to be, so inspiring with your passion of design and helping people achieve their own perfect safe space. We have lived in the Middle East 25 years and when returning to Uk had to mix a relaxed light wood beach feel furniture from our UK home , now mixed with the more formal Dubai style furniture we brought back. I have kept only what a love, added a few other pieces of furniture, and with your guidance, have managed to create what I feel is a stylish home filled with things I love and enjoy seeing everyday. keep on inspiring us Valentina. You are fab ❤ xx
eeekkk! This makes me so happy! I have goosebumps just thinking about that amazing mix! I know it's gorgeous!
You have such an infectious personality along with superb taste. And from one perfectionist to another, I aim for perfection with every item within my home. And as a homebody, I must surround myself with the best that my money can buy so I identify with your sentiments expressed in this Vlog. Life is short, make it sweet, beautiful.
Beautiful custom pillow covers are way more affordable than you think. I've been doing them for my clients for 32 years. All you need is a great workroom. It's only $18.00 to $26.00 a pillow cover depending on the size.
Invest in some good down pillow inserts and then custom make the covers. This way no one else has what you have! Also you should have accounts with several fabric companies Like RMCOCO, etc.
Custom drapery panels made at a great workroom are around $85.00 per width.
Custom is always better ! There are easy ways to avoid paying retail prices.
great advice! Thank you!!
Definitely a video on Balance. I have learned so much from your videos.
Thank you Valentina for your great advice
I absolutely love this video I like to tell myself don't spend your money invest your money
Omg! This was such a powerful message for me and one that I'm finally doing at the age of 59, I'm finally hitting my stride and what my style is in my home. Thank you so much for this message as we bought flooring 4 years ago that still hasn't been installed lol. Love your channel.
Love your channel!
This was a very teachable video! Not just look what I bought at Amazon or H&M
