This was perfectly timed! The painters have been here all week, painting everything BM decorator's white & BM iron ore on kitchen island -- a beautiful color. What a mess: kitchen cupboards, walls, built ins, ceilings, etc. They finish up today. YAY! I never realized until I took the rooms apart, how much STUFF I have that I don't like anymore. I'm donating a ton of PB, Thomasville and RH so somebody else can enjoy it as I have. At 68 years of age, I want simple, calm, and I don't want to compromise. I follow everything you do, and you always provide terrific, actionable suggestions. My house is California Spanish Ranch near the beach, so the lines are blocky and clean; and can easily adapt to a sort of organic modern without pushing the house itself out of character. I will be keeping some wood pieces -- weathered pine that has turned too orange. I will do a warm grey wash (that's rustic, I know, but the rooms are big and I like the pieces). I've tried one of your paintings and it really worked out. I'm going to do more! I've also used grey paint and spackle to update 2 heavy PB urn lamps that had a good shape but wrong color -- then I bought new slope shades from RH and lowered the height of the harp -- that is key to getting the right proportion and people (PB, Lamps Plus, C&B) don't do it. An $8 harp can change the whole look of a lamp. Anyway, sorry this is long. Just wanted to tell you how much your videos help clarify and teach. Much appreciated!

"Every choice must be intentional. Your home itself is a piece of art." This is gold, pure gold. Too many times, in my opinion, we fill our spaces with stuff just to fill the space. I've been guilty of this too. Less is more, so I've learned to invest in a few things I really love over buying a whole bunch of stuff just because it's a budget deal. If I took all the money I spent on lackluster things, I could have bought more expensive, nicer things.

What's interesting is I have read several times over the last weeks that so many people regret going the industrial route because their homes feel so hard and cold. No warmth. You used the term "industrial" several times. Modern can also feel cold. This is why folks need to not just jump in based on trends and minute styles. Cool to build off styles but make sure you love it not just follow it. JMO.

Hi KB, love your channel. I just bought a new home in South Florida which I want to decorate in a coastal style..not whimsical beach-no mermaids etc...I like Pottery Barn and Crate and Barrel styles. I like modern elements too like muted gold stand task lighting,,,not table lamps. Nice framed art work etc. I would love to hear your take on making a coastal home still coastal but with modern elements. I understand California coastal style is different than Florida coastal but I find it a bit boring. Your thoughts?
