Would you do a video on whole house lighting based on design style? I’m building a house and all I’m seeing are a ton of sputnik lights and lighting with balls. I like them both but is there a formula to whole house lighting so you don’t use too much of one style of light fixture. Also, I can find amazing lighting but I’m not paying $15k for a single light fixture. I really need some good ideas in a moderate price range ❤.

In my opinion, bland color palette is the problem. For example, In many luxury homes there is too much white, too much black, too much gray....too much combination of white-gray-black...Many luxury homes appear to be bland, sad, dead, unfinished, without "personality", like an office, like a shop, etc.

I try to imagine paper lighting in our home... well, we have dust. And then, in summer, there are - the flies! We live out in the countryside, with the neighbor's lovely cows all around our house. And what do cattle do? They eat grass, and they poop. A lot. And who are attracted to cow manure? Flies! Do they come into the house, the flies, that is? They certainly do, and what do they do inside the house? They poop, of course, especially on white things. Like paper lamps, which can't be cleaned. I say no to paper lighting, flies are one of the reasons. We also have pets visiting now and then, and they run around both outside and inside, so no thanks. :D

Boucle sweaters were big in the 80s and every time i wore one, i caught the damn thing on something, so no way in hell would i pay $$$$$ for that in furniture. The mushroom thing is another no. First of all, the 70s called and they don't even want them back. Second, some of those mushrooms look too much like a certain something else that you really shouldn't have out on the kitchen counter -- though it would be super fun to hear Robin Williams riff on that, wouldn't it? :) Great video as always, DD.

Hey Daddy ;-), when I was growing up I remember my grandparents had a mushroom themed kitchen. They had mushroom wallpaper,. mushroom print towels and mushroom top flour and sugar ceramic canisters . After my grandpa died at 90 years ago the only thing unclaimed that was theirs were the mushroom canisters that they probably bought in the 70s, which I asked my mom to keep for me when I have my own place. I should be building my home within the next couple years, I'm currently 47, and still wondering how I'll make them work in my contemporary and very small space. The colors won't be a problem, but mushrooms don't really scream modern and I'm not really into mushrooms as a theme. They are only sentimental to finally feel like they are with me in some way. Could you make a video on using inherited items in modern spaces?

Sure, i don’t want my home to be empty and void, but i also don’t want my home to be filled to the brim with stuff. Plus, “Cluttercore” is too visually overwhelming.

About the lime wash: you said in your video that you would allow it in a powder room on the condition that this room matches the style of the rest of your house. Do you have any advice (or maybe an existing video) on how to accomplish that?

Right now they have a completely different vibe than the other rooms and it bothers me.
