I buy luxury handbags and cheap clothes (Walmart, goodwill, thrift stores) and people always compliment me thinking I spent a lot on my clothes because I know they’re basing it off of my bag. So yes get a expensive/quality piece of furniture for the room and add less expensive pieces to it. It works for home and fashion ❤️

I'd love to hear your perspective and recommendations on ceiling fans. They seem to be under represented in design videos in favor of light fixtures. However, I enjoy the circulation they provide throughout the house and especially the primary bedroom. Maybe a video showcasing different ceiling fan options for a variety of decors? I'm transitional btw. 😊

Question...advice...I purchased a very high end sofa from a “fine furnishings” store. The sofa was built for me and finished in the fabric I chose. This was 7 years ago...I paid $6000 for the sofa. HOwever, the fabric I chose was a brownish gold color and is really out of style. It is a very large sofa 90 inches long and very wide...is it worth having the fabric changed out? Some people say, it would cost more to change the fabric than the sofa is worth. Your opinion?

If you have a solid piece that is comfortable, well-made, and in good condition, I would definitely recommend pursuing the reupholstering route. At minimum, price it out. Buying new but lower end can be cheaper but you will feel it. It’s amazing how much new life can be breathed into a couch with new fabric! I did this with a sofa bed - my mom and I turned an amazingly comfy orthopaedic sofa bed that was equally amazingly ugly into a beautiful contemporary piece. I’ve already had 6 more years with it and it’s still perfect. Plus, it’s way more environmentally friendly to reuse and up cycle! Good luck!

The key to a good sofa (and chair) is the frame. The wood needs to be kiln dried & the springs need to be 8 way hand tied. I have had my sofa for 22 years & it is good as new. I did have it recovered a few years ago & the guy said it has many years left. It was expensive but it was worth it!! I still love it & the chair I bought with it.

Get the sofa in an easy to clean fabric or good leather. Easy to clean underneath (space for a vacuum or swiffer) or make it close to the floor. Easy to move around if needed with at least floor pads. Not too low, not too deep. The bed, also easy to move if needed. With space for storage, either incorporated or you can put boxes underneath. Get a duvet, coverlet, etc that is bigger than the matress. Matress is 200x140, get a duvet 220x160.

I made the mistake of buying a beautiful expensive sofa that matched my decor & never even sat on it before buying it. Everyone always said WOW for my beautiful sofa & design style. But we ended up sitting on the floor as pillow on back of sofa was so hard it actually shoved u off the couch. Ouch costly mistake.

Okay, as a painter and artist - things at HomeGoods are not what I would consider actual art. They are prints - not galley prints - just ugly prints that look tacky. If you want to purchase artwork for $300 - go your local college or invest in supporting local artists. These types of sites or places are undercutting artists and creatives. Plus - most artists I know are happy to set up a payment plan for their artwork, so you can purchase a large, expensive painting but through smaller chunks. Original artwork is absolutely more luxurious and impressive - it is like comparing acrylic fibre to cashmere: you can’t compare a digital print to a real painting.
