When you remove the glass from your art, put it back behind your print to keep it flat and fill up the gap you created removing it rather than storing all those glass inserts.
You have introduced 4 new hacks or items I’ve never even heard of. I’m obsessed with your videos. Always so informative. I’m your biggest fan. Please talk more about your total budget for projects/makeovers and maybe the timelines from start to finish for those projects including ideas/designs/moodboards. I want to learn all of the things from you for my business and you’ve taught me so much already!
Agreed!! I say we convince her to do remote ,'Let Me Help You Style Your Home' videos! We do the work. She helps with the planning. On a budget. I know I would need that for sure.
You can also take clear acrylic glaze and paint the prints to create the look and texture of a painting after removing the glass. It makes a print look like an original oil painting.
Great ideas. My grandmother always said, I always love learning something new every day. You bring that to the table. You are so informative and enjoyable. Thank you so much.
You are my new favorite interior designer! I recently got new furniture and redesigned my den using many of the principles of design and decor hacks that you recommend. Thank you!
Really helpful. I must watch several times and take notes. Thank you. I already restyled my study with fewer pieces and will continue the process by adding real plants and better lighting.
The picture one was super along with the cord hiding kit. I need to get the paint shots and do those touch ups! Would love to hear how you hang your pictures on the wall that gets them so straight and even. I so admire your 'just do it' approach, bravo!
She uses painters tape! She puts painters tape on the back to map out where the holes go and then she puts the tape on the wall to see where to put the holes. She uses a level to make sure the tape is level.
OMG! Removable headboard covers are amazing. We have an upholstered headboard in great condition but in a color that doesn’t suit our home. I’ve been procrastinating on reupholstering the headboard and now I don’t have to. Thank you!
Oh my gosh Kristen, I cannot remember which video it was, but you had recommended using Ikea Schottis paper blinds for move in day, to have in place til you select your window treatments. Just moved into a new house, and this tip save my life! the home is on a busy road and I felt immediately better once they were up. I was so grateful for the tip and for having bought them well before the move so they were in the car when we arrived. Thanks for all your great advice.
I have a four piece sofa cover that is fantastic! Nothing moves around. Nothing looks sloppy. The seat cushion covers just pull over the top of each cushion like a fitted sheet. Thick fabric. Many different colors. Fits perfect. Same material as the headboard cover.
About removing sticky tags - the citrus oil works really well but any essential oil or baby oil will work almost as well. This is good if you are allergic to citrus. Eucalyptus oil is very effective. If the glue / sticky label is attached to something that is not affected by heat try putting a sponge filled with hot water and wrung out so that it is still damp and slightly hot over the sticky label after you apply the oil. The heat will allow the oil to penetrate the label better.
When using a slipcover on a non-upholstered headboard, it would be very easy to wrap the headboard with layers of quilt batting to beef it up and give it more of an upholstered look.
There's something about Kristen! She's so unique. Her smile makes me smile. Jesus' glow I like to call it 💕 You bring so much love & joy to this world 🥺🥲 So grateful for you! You truly put your heart and soul into everything you do 🌸
Omg! Kristen, you rock! So many useful hacks - my jaw drops! I always think about little house hacks, and been absolutely taken away today by learning about wax, touch up pens and essential oils! Just makes me feel so good! Huge thank you!
I'm a newer viewer to your channel. This video was seriously the best hack video I have ever seen. The paint pens look amazing, I can't wait to get some. I've seen the hide the cords thing before but you demonstrated it really well. I've seen the stain pens but didn't understand the purpose of the crayons. And taking the glass out of a picture frame, such a good idea! These hacks really are genius!! Thank you for sharing.
OMG a headboard cover! I almost bought a new bed to change the headboard! Thanks so much! Also love the cord covers, great idea! Thanks for all the tips! 😁🌟🌟
Mom used mattress and pillow protectors back in the day for the reasons you stated. I knew about furniture touch up. Everything else is new. I really like the outlet cover.
Wow these were great! Loved the cord concealer and had no idea such an everyday essential oil could do that! Ive used eucalyptus oil for that before but I have a feeling the lemon would work better.
I’m now on the hunt for the socket set you’ve shown - I’ve got an old house with not enough sockets and I can’t abide seeing the trailing wires. Let’s hope I can get a UK version. Thank you.
That paint pen is genius thank you ive been avoiding doing touch up paint spots because of the hassle of getting all that stuff but now I'm ordering two of those pens now thank you
i'm so glad you high-lighted those markers and crayons. i worked in furniture repair as a youngster and these were always in our arsenal. the museum wax i was also familiar with but had not thought to use it to keep drawer organizers in place. loved all but one of your tips; as i'd use nail polish remover to get sticky tag debris off an object, because it's so much cheaper. really useful content overall. and so many of these ideas we actually new to me and i watch quite a few of these home improvement/decorating channels.
Def getting the museum wax! Especially living in California (earthquakes!)… Also the sleek cord cover is great! Pillow covers… paint pens 🖊… I need it all 😂
I have a great hack for the stickers on things. Use your blow dryer it loosens up the sticker and it comes right off no need for cleaning. Thank you for all your videos they are super fun and practical.

Watching it 🌸
Paint pens?! Who knew! So cool.
uuuu
😊😊
Please share the link for sleek sockets .
When you remove the glass from your art, put it back behind your print to keep it flat and fill up the gap you created removing it rather than storing all those glass inserts.
What about UV, doesn't it ruin colors over time if not protected? 🤔
It would absolutely expose the pigments to UV light damage if it has sun exposure. However, this can also happen through glass.

Hi Christine
I definitely need that museum wax! Omg genius, thx Kristen.
Hi Georgia
That cord cover is genius! Thank you. You’re amazing.
Hi Jane
You can also take clear acrylic glaze and paint the prints to create the look and texture of a painting after removing the glass. It makes a print look like an original oil painting.
Thanks for all the tips especially, the museum wax!
Hi tonia
This is easily one of my favorite videos you've done. Thank you!
The headboard cover, the outlet shield cover and the wax to secure items in place. Great hacks I didn't know about but need. Thx Kristen
Is this THE best video of hints and tricks you have ever done? Everything is genius Kristen! Great ideas - thank you so much. xx
thank you for the "sleek socket" hack!!! AMAZING!!
SLEEK SOCKET!!!! A total game changer for me.
Thanks these were great. The socket disguised is great and taking off the glass on pictures.
I've been watching interior decorating videos for YEARS now, and yet the headboard slip covers and outlet cover extension cords actually made me gasp!
Great ideas. My grandmother always said, I always love learning something new every day. You bring that to the table. You are so informative and enjoyable. Thank you so much.
The museum wax is so functional. Thanks
I love the cord covering thing .TKS
I like the hack of taking the glass from frames to take away the glare.

Great tips especially the cord tip
To remove labels, a light scrub with sterile wipes like dettol or glad wipes etc work quite well.
The picture one was super along with the cord hiding kit. I need to get the paint shots and do those touch ups! Would love to hear how you hang your pictures on the wall that gets them so straight and even. I so admire your 'just do it' approach, bravo!
She uses painters tape! She puts painters tape on the back to map out where the holes go and then she puts the tape on the wall to see where to put the holes. She uses a level to make sure the tape is level.
Love the hidden outlet hack!
OMG! Removable headboard covers are amazing. We have an upholstered headboard in great condition but in a color that doesn’t suit our home. I’ve been procrastinating on reupholstering the headboard and now I don’t have to. Thank you!
Hi Alison
Omg the essential oil trick is amazing!!!
Blow dry the sticker to warm it up and peel the price tags stickers off like magic!
Oh my gosh Kristen, I cannot remember which video it was, but you had recommended using Ikea Schottis paper blinds for move in day, to have in place til you select your window treatments.

Hadn’t seen the outlet cover. Love it
Going to get the museum wax for sure! Love this! Thanks

Wow! I need everything in this video, including a new mattress, but the museum wax is a game changer. Thanks, Kristen.
Love your channel the headboard is great u could put foam or batting on the headboard then put cover on to thicken it
Love the idea of taking out the glass for printed art, so simple but really makes a difference
Wow these were great! Loved the cord concealer and had no idea such an everyday essential oil could do that! Ive used eucalyptus oil for that before but I have a feeling the lemon would work better.
More hack videos please!! Love these.
I’m now on the hunt for the socket set you’ve shown - I’ve got an old house with not enough sockets and I can’t abide seeing the trailing wires. Let’s hope I can get a UK version. Thank you.
Actually useful tips. I love the paint pen and the cord wrangler particularly
Wow such excellent tips and hacks. Appreciate this so much.
That paint pen is genius thank you ive been avoiding doing touch up paint spots because of the hassle of getting all that stuff but now I'm ordering two of those pens now thank you
love the Power point & cord concealer - never seen that in South Africa!!
You had me at headboard covers.
i'm so glad you high-lighted those markers and crayons.
i worked in furniture repair as a youngster and these were always in our arsenal.
the museum wax i was also familiar with but had not thought to use it to keep drawer organizers in place.
loved all but one of your tips; as i'd use nail polish remover to get sticky tag debris off an object, because it's so much cheaper.
really useful content overall.
and so many of these ideas we actually new to me and i watch quite a few of these home improvement/decorating channels.
Finally! Hack ideas that actually look amazing! Thank you!

Also the sleek cord cover is great! Pillow covers… paint pens 🖊… I need it all 😂
The outlet thing blew my mind, I had no idea!! Thanks for sharingg
th-cam.com/video/HEtkr6XYkG0/w-d-xo.html
Greart Ideas, I need the socket cover and I am going to take off the glass on my gallery pics! =]
Definitely never knew about headboard covers.
I have a great hack for the stickers on things. Use your blow dryer it loosens up the sticker and it comes right off no need for cleaning. Thank you for all your videos they are super fun and practical.
The headboard hack can look fuller by putting a quilt/doona over the timber then adding the slipcover.
You are genius. Stay happy
Citrus oil! I can’t wait to try it. Thank you.💕
Love this episode! I will definitely try out some of these gadgets
LOVE the museum wax!! I’ve never heard of it before!!! I wish I knew about this years ago when my girls were little!!!! Thanks for the great tip!!
