Really like these videos where you show us shopping ideas at stores that we can actually go to. Some designers show us items that are from designer books that we don't have access to! Great video for everyone!
Tip … if l buy fake florals and the leaves look very green and very fake … l always get my watercolours out and paint them with browns / dark greens and sometimes l also paint the flowers as well … it makes such a difference 🤗🐨🇦🇺
TFS this great idea! I like to shake things up by spray painting my faux florals with different colors against silver and gold metallics. This gives the metallics more depth instead just straight silver or gold. Learned this trick from Lulu Sapphire here on TH-cam😊
My plastic green ferns look very realistic in my concrete grecian urn planters on either side of my front door step. I stuck them in there because I was busy and things had died in the planters, but hey it looks good
Wow I am loving this video!! Please make more videos like this showing how to think through and pair items for designing in the home. This is incredibly helpful. I love watching videos about designers going into these types of stores but this video is BY FAR the best I’ve seen. It’s so educational and practical and makes me want to go out and shop! Thank you Maria! I’m a new follower who’s super excited to be here!
I love that you show every step and how and where to shop. Love that color wheel and like to see how you use it more often to integrate all the decor items.
I often will see a great lamp in Home Sense with an ugly shade. In Canada, the shade is attached to the lamp base, so removing it before the cart is impossible. There must have been a lot of shade switching in the past.
I use faux florals all the time but I cut the stems to length and actually put water in the vase and have had many people ask where I picked them! I tend to use "snowball bush" types bc I found some really good looking ones at hobby lobby :)
Yay everyone can look alike 🤪. I’ll walk in a store and do as I please! Your creativity WILL COME INTO PLAY without a “standard”! Gee! Be yourself! Make your house your OWN. not another “should”!
I don't relish being the pronunciation police, but in this case, I had no idea what she was talking about. As above, there are four distinct syllables not three. Please no more "co-LAN-ches"!!!
Sorry, I will never buy feather or down pillows. You can get the same softness of a pillow without feathers that have been plucked from a chicken, etc. You have some great ideas on other things, but I’m sorry. I’m just not into the feather pillows. I know some people are gonna say , we bet you were leather shoes. I’m not a fanatic, but I do wish that we would not have to harm animals to be stylish or have wonderful decor.
You’re not looking at your audience. You’re looking off into the distance. Maybe practice on where to look on the camera so it looks like you’re talking to US.

When are the “what to do or not do” workshops on tv

I love Ralph Laurel lamps !!
Such a helpful video, Maria!
super helpful!!! thank you, Maria😊
That color wheel is brilliant! How can I get one?
I laughed when you said a lot of people look at this isle and see “junk”. That isle is my “jewelry” “candy” “happy” isle. 😂😂😂
Loved your video. I also love the shoes your wearing. Can you tell me where you bought them?
I love your glasses! Do you mind sharing the brand and style?

You are great. Thanks 🌷
Great video. Thank you!

Just changed all my feather pillows out for synthetic. I just couldn't handle the sharp feather bits poking me plus they get so dusty.
Glad you mentioned to not put fake florals in glass vases. I see that done so much by influencers and thought maybe it’s acceptable now.

Random: What brand of crossbody bag is that? It is EXACTLY what I've been seeking for several years!
It's from Lutz Morris!
@@MariaKillamDesigner Thanks. I used an image search from several video stills and came up empty handed. Much appreciated!
As an animal advocate, please know there are down alternative pillow inserts that work well and are cruelty free.
I’m getting my dog a furry throw right away. Right now, I have a towel out.
Yay they are so good!
How to pronounce 'kalanchoe: ‘. "kal" + "uhn" + "koh" + "ee". Just saying.
I once had to endure listening to an allegedly educated TV personality pronounce "cachepot" as "cashay POT." thought I'd die...

"co-LAN-ches"!!!
I need to protect my sofa from my grandkids 😊😅
Wait though, you recommended not buying a lamp with a white shade yet put 2 lamps in your cart to purchase… with white shades 🤔
this video was sooo helpful! i am the person that looks at the accessory isle and sees junk lol so thank you 🤗🩵

Maybe google the pronunciation of the plant for your kitchen. Kalanchoe is pronounced kah lan ko e.
It's pronounced " kal-an-KOH-ee" not "kalanch."
