@@patrickfinlay2074 you've got to tell me the origin story on Highland cow prints! They are everywhere here in Canada (1 in every home decor store). Side note, our family calls them "Caribou!" because when my husband was a toddler he was on a trip "home" with his parents (who had immigrated to the Northwest Territories in Canada's far north from Britain), and the only large animal he'd seen was a Caribou. When he saw Highland cattle, he exclaimed, "Caribou!" to the amusement/confusion of those nearby.

That room also faced east and I loved it. Never tired of it as it was so classic and utterly timeless.

For anyone with babies that feels that just have to have that squared off glass coffee table with pointy sharp edges, I hit my head on the corner at age two and still remember the terrible medication that my parents had to hold me down to apply! I also still have a giant round bald spot in my hair that I have had to strategically work around whenever I put my hair up.

My mum’s friend fell right into her coffee table and broke it in two - they had to go to hospital :/ I look at them all now and shudder. Surprising how many young families go for them?! Seriously?? Also glass coffee tables - a 1990’s movie with Emma Thompson & Kenneth Branagh - Dead Again - watch that and you’ll look at glass coffee tables and shudder too…!

Also, Nick, you are so right about the glass furniture. I bought a rectangular glass coffee table off of Facebook marketplace just last year: got it home, set it up, walked away, came back into the room without thinking about it, and immediately experienced one of those so-painful-that-your-scalp-tingles moments of my shin colliding into the corner of the glass coffee table. I posted it back up for sale immediately. If only I had been following you at that point in life 😂

I don't like glass furniture when it's paired with other gaudy finishes like chrome or shiny paints, but I like the example at 14:28. It preserves some visual space. In modern shoebox condos that are well below 600 sq ft, strategic use of glass can help.

Black lace trim pollowcases, black lace canopy, I'm living my best Lydia Deetz life.

I don't follow trends, I just fall in love with pieces and make them work in my space.. When I first invested in my living room furniture, I fell in love with a Baker Country French desk, then got a few other pieces in that line and scattered them around my apartment. Then I fell in love with a nicely tailored Henredon roll-arm sofa. Years and kids later I know it could use a reupholster but with grandkids visiting that doesn't seem like a wise investment until they get past their toddler years. It's still really comfy, which argues for buying the best quality you can. Love your style and insights! I have two rooms that are butter yellow - it just cheers me up and gives me a quiet energy. Several years ago I bought a French blue table cloth with yellow Paisley-ish accents from Provence and it looks great in my butter yellow kitchen.

My dining room is Burnt Peanut Red and through the day the color changes with the light and the living room and hallways are Philadelphia Cream (yellow). Also, Tealight (green) is such a calming color that I have it in 2 of my bedrooms. I'm glad to know that everything old is new again.

I love red. An entry way is a good room to work it in, since it's low commitment workwise for painting if you change your mind, and there's not a lot of furniture to coordinate with. Another option is towels in the bathroom since red goes well with grey and earthtones (we bought tan marble tile at a garage sale 20 years ago and the guy who sold it to us ran inside and brought out a red mat to show us how well red goes with brown.)
