The scene from "The First Wives Club" that you mentioned featured Bronson Pinchot as Duarte Feliz, an aspiring interior designer who talked about the "eyes" and "eyebrows" of the room. Bette Midler, who played assistant Brenda and one of the founding members of The First Wives Club, was in the action from which Duarte was trying to distract Brenda's ex-husband and his girlfriend, played by Dan Hedaya and Sarah Jessica Parker, respectively.
I have curtains that I bought but have been afraid of putting up for fear there are too different than my current style. You have given my the courage. I will hang them, and give them time to percolate into favor. 🥰😉

My kitten is my color palette. He actually came after decorating my apartment. He is a Siamese tabby mix. His colors are black, white, gray, cream, carmel, touch of pale pink in his ears and snow leopard blue eyes. Funny how that worked out.
Thank you. Enjoyed your presentation.
My favourite is your lovely personality.
Your driving on fumes
Cooking with gas is because sometimes during the depression, they did not have enough gas to run their oven stove, etc.
I watched until the end…I watch her mom's videos, but at least she seems knowledgeable.
I truly believe this is boring and basic! It's worth adding to the engagement!!!
"How to be basic " 101
How does this ditz have so many followers? One of the most boring basic design advice channels I have found on here. It sounds like regurgitated info from other channels, but more airheaded delivery. It's like Avon/Amway to Fenty.
We’re supposed to be talking about decorating and some of these women are talking about investing???
Love your authenticity and that you don't edit out your quirkiness!
Wow! You were sassy! Great video!
I noticed your TVs look like art how do you get a screensaver on your television like that mine is just big and black it is mounted
I painted the kitchen cabinet hardware and it turned out great.
I really enjoyed this video, great tips!
I have been thinking about and talking about adding curtains in my home. Hubby says NO. He will come home someday and it’ll just be done 🤷🏼♀️💕
Where have you been all my life!!?? Lol! I have been struggling about painting the original cherry wood in my house..especially our built in fireplace..I keep getting told that it will devalue my home or that I will kill the character. I just want a fresher feel. What paint did you use on your stairway?
oh my gosh – the "before" on the staircase is coming into style á lá lone fox and other "dark academic" decor shows
So many ideas packed into one video! Love your motivational speech at 17:00 minutes…"empowered and equipped to do it by yourself"…yesss!!!
First, you look beautiful. Love that color on you. Second, spray painting the handles was such a helpful tip. Child locks have scratched my handles. Thank you!
And now California is trying to ban us from cooking with gas!❤
Great tips. Thank you. Actuelly strugling with entryway and type of carpets..as the delivery guys are sometimes very messy (bird poops today on the carpet although i put 2 plastic scratcher carpets outside. Our alleeway was clean..no idea where he was delivering before and how he cares on the company car. Anyway, CAN’T WAIT FOR YOUR VIDEO ON YOUR ENTRYWAY for ideas 😉
I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't like lighting, I'm a dim lighting person, I like color my walls and brown is much favorite color the chocolate color. Your home is beautiful.
Very helpful! I love drapes & carrying my color from room to room. Carpeting is a harder choice & small rooms are difficult for placements of furniture. What to keep, donate etc…
Kudos to Rebecca Robeson. Mother talent is unmatched.
If you have wallpaper you can cut a small cross in it with a razor blade, and open up the edges of the cross in the wallpaper. Then you drill the holes for the tv/art directly into in the wall. When you take the tv/painting down you can plaster the holes. When it's dry you close the wallpaper over it and and glue the wallpaper back.
Sharrah, love you… Thanks for the tips!
Cooking with gas or running on fumes. 😂
Where is the link for battery operated light bulbs? I'm in that old house situation and trying to find the most effective battery operated light bulbs, so I'd love to know which ones you recommend!
