10 PARISIAN HOME STYLING Hacks from REAL HOMES 

Hello from France! Not Paris but 🤷🏻‍♀️. Thank you for the video. A lot of videos I see about making things « the french way » are soooo inacurate, but yours nailed it! You are right about us not wanting to not give the impression of trying too hard. I think it’s because then it would miss the spontaneous vibe we love. Also I always feel uncomfortable in too perfect homes, where there are no decoration or random things on mantles or furniture. It makes it feel like a museum instead of a home, where you need to feel like there’s a life going on. Thanks again, and sorry if I did mistakes with my english 😊

The architecture is the star in a French home. Anything would look good in any of these homes.

Grrrrrrrrrl! 21 years? ...and he still looks at you as if you just met. ❤️ Ugh! Divine! You two are stunning together. I can almost feel the young love energy emitting from the screen as you two look at each other. Lord! I love that your videos embody most of what I love in style and architecture. Keep up the Fabulous work!❤️🍸

Your information replays in my mind as I decorate my home. One of the most important set of tips was from your video re 3 pillars (or something like that): plants (to bring life); art (to bring character); and lighting (mood). Brilliant!!

You guys crack me up... especially when the husband says something awkward and the wife is awkward back...love it, and the tips too! A great reminder to be unperfect!

You two are so cute together!

Most adorable couple and congratulations on 21 years! Love all the variety on your channel

I love what you are saying! My husband travels to France for work for the last 13 years. I have been with him quite a few times. It has changed our entire lives. How we cook how I decorate how we live... we walk everywhere now or take our bikes when we can. It is a life style! And yes milady! My curtains puddle puddle puddle in all my rooms... I have white full linen curtains if looks amazing like a touch of Provence ❤️ you are my soul mate. I help people with their homes. You are spot on with what you are saying!❤️

Parisian Interiors are my absolute favourite! 😍😍😍 They are so great at walking the line between minimalism, warmth & personality, & do it with such effortlessness - both in interiors & fashion. Thank you for bringing beauty to my morning!

Give Atlanta decorators more credit.........we've been letting drapes puddle on the floor for decades! I've had my custom Belgium white linen drapes puddle on the floor for years and always have your drapes hung as high as possible........that's just as important. Also, a Louis Philippe mirror is always a great French touch in any room........I've been decorating with them for years and they always add that classic traditional look I love. My secret is to always add classic traditional touches throughout your home and you can't go wrong. Sometimes I feel people get too theme oriented and your house looks like French country overload or people go way too modern with everything. Great taste to me is someone who knows how to mix it all up and come out with a great look(always with a eye for quality).........these decorators who pull this off are hard to find!

I love that you mentioned the difference between staying in a hotel versus someone's home. For years, I have exclusively used Airbnb (or similar) for trips to Europe. I've stayed in some beautiful (and affordable, usually less than a hotel) homes that have inspired me so much from a design perspective! Xo from Canada

This was phenomenal! What a great way to express the joy of decorating- your home as a reflection of you! I think we all have a bit of Paris in us 😘

I have drapes puddled on my floor in the dining room, I’ve done this for years, some people don’t understand it but I love it!

I adore how lovely your husband is towards your passion. I bet you guys have fun conversations all the time. Great for your kids to grow up in that environment.

One way to add that special something to walls is with wallpaper, but also with trompe l'oeil. It might be a slower/different way to get it, but it still works.

Hello from Paris, I'm 3 years late but just found your channel! So honestly this is the best video I have seen by far on Paris and the lifestyle. With a gracious respect conveyed for the people and culture. I love the effortless chic lifestyle here and coming from England; we are similar to the USA in many ways; its so refreshing to not be perfect with your home as I had to be when i lived there . The properties / large Apartments are so expensive here so its good to mix and match items and treasured finds according to your budget. I do everything you said in your video, from the pooling curtains to the trinkets from my travels. I love fresh flowers also :) I have learned how to do this from simply living here. Living abroad is a life changing experience it broadens your perspective and inspires a richness to the every day. Lastly: I love what you said about the extending of your home lifestyle. Going to a cafe and spending hours is normal and resturant's LITERALLY ARE EVERYWHERE along with Parks so I am thankful for that. love the photos so much to be inspired by, bless you and thanks :) x

I bought a souvenir tea towel from Copenhagen. Illustrations of the sites of Copenhagen in black on a white cotton tea towel. I put it in a black frame from IKEA. Everyone comments on it when they visit

I ABSOLUTELY love a puddled curtain!!

Love the dialogue, the history and the information on Paris.

Haha curtains pooling! Such a thing here in Europe and I love it and my North American friends are always so shocked...it is sooo beautiful and actually so functional in cold environments

This is awesome. Old with New, Antique with Industrial. Simple with Ornate. Love it.

I’ve lived in Europe for 30 years. They go outside of their homes for entertainment and to be with the community and public. They have beautiful parks, plazas and squares with artwork and fountains to draw people out. We go inside to our home theaters and huge backyards. I like Europe better. Europeans are less lonely.

Yea Parisian week! I love Paris and your hacks are spot on. The imperfections are what creates a relaxed and welcoming experience! I’m a fan of pooling curtains so here’s to the mullet of curtains!😆 Tfs!

Perfekt is boring. Love this 👍🌷

This is my style. Beauty in functional pieces, nature elements, ornate, minimal yet rustic old charm, history and culture, old and new, personal items that are my own and/or passed down, but all grounded in being functional and beautiful.

You echo in your space like its a empty home, but I love your ideas.

Curtains are the ball gowns for windows

I loveee a plain white long drape-to-floor curtain in a bedroom. It makes it feel serene/peaceful

Your last hack is actually something I learned in my travels too ... I try to invest in one large item wherever I am. I have found a huge desire to purchase art. I have a watercolor from Mikonos, hand carved masks from Africa, photography and oil painting from famous photographer and artist in Charleston, SC, a large cameo I wear from the gift shop in the Vatican that the Pope prayed over that I will one day hand down to my kids and ironically, the most expensive thing I bought overseas. And I do this domestically too, so that’s really just the tip of the iceberg! Not only are these things so beautiful to me, but I feel like I’m surrounded by my memories of the trips I’ve taken. It’s so personal and my friends love hearing the story behind each item. It’s like living with the most wonderful part of each trip!

It took my husband and me a while to realize that we actually dislike souvenirs. Now, we just buy something small that we can put on our Christmas tree. Every year, when we decorate our tree, we're reminded of our travels. We have hot cocoa, biscotti and talk about staying in beautiful historical houses in Portugal's Douro Valley during Christmas, haggling in the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul, hiking the Cinque Terre, swimming in a volcanic crater in Nicaragua, smoking cigars with a tobacco farmer in Cuba, the midnight sun keeping us awake in Iceland, etc. It's really nice to think of the adventures we've had, but I don't want all of those knick knacks around all the time. Then, I hide the little Loch Ness monster bell that my husband bought in Scotland on the back of the tree, and we go to bed thinking of all the places we still want to go.

I am absolutely in love with all the ornate mirrors. As soon as we can shop again I'm going to be on the lookout for an ornate antique mirror to put in our condo that is mostly all clean lines. Now I'm so excited to get out there and find that one piece that gives me such joy ❤💚💜💙💛

I traveled to Paris last May and I was completely won over! the lifestyle, the people: everything. I'm still obsessed...

You guys are so cute :) I'm discovering all these great channels in quarantine. Really great videos.

You both are so good together and I love the live decor magazine style to your your video. Can't wait to see the upcoming videos. Great job, great editing, love, love love the selection of pictures you displayed as you narrated your own personal experiences. Keep up the good work

I have just started watching your videos and I love them. You have a wonderful style and practical ideas...but my favorite part of your videos is how happy you and your husband are! Love y’all!

Beautiful I hope I have such a great relationship I love how he loves you

More more more, it's never enough. Love this new idea. Hope we see more of your travel treasures.

I love the Parisian look! I love to mix the old ornate with simple modern pieces, French modern! Love your channel so much!!

Thanks for being so open and nice and sharing all these great tips! And Thanks for sharing your husband as well - he's so kooky in such a lovable way!

You both are the greatest! I really enjoy your channel. Thank you.

Great advice. I love French design and lifestyle. Look forward to seeing you again.

You made my day! I have pooling curtains. I have always called it puddling. I figured I was just too much of a fuddy duddy, so to hear that was still good to someone like you made me so happy. I have a touch of French influence in my style, so you have given me a fresh look at my own style. Just love you and your hubby.

I am French and you totally nailed it. Even living on Ohio and not having architectured house, I automatically mix old with new and my two mantels hold everything I love!

I love your videos!!! And I love it when your husband is in your videos with you! You two are a great example of family sticking together.

The curtains in our bedroom are puddled on the floor and I love them. It has been like that for many years. I am glad to be validated in my decision! Love your videos and the banter between you and your husband. So much fun to watch. Thanks!

Agree! As a former (30yr) Flight attendant for a commercial airline. I totally get it! I’ve seen some strange souvenirs being bought at the markets. I twinge, hoping that they’re not on my flight home LOL!!!

Such great practical tips! I think also having the mentality of taking TIME to curate your home is something we don’t do in NA. I love mixing in classic furniture with more detail into my home to balance out the 90s builder grade box I’m starting with, and I always find my favourite pieces on FB marketplace because I can get a more detailed piece for way less than from a retailer now, and they are often better quality!

Loving your videos! AND... we set up lights outside, just like yours and they look great! Thank you

🙏 Dear lord, please bring me a husband like him ...claiming this today ❤️

Yessssss!! Curtain pooling🙌🏾. I was happily surprised by that.

you too are a great couple.I love how your husband looks at you and make you laugh ,its really amazing

I'm only a few minutes into your video and I'm loving it!

This was great guys. I have the sense that Parisians are so much more sophisticated than we are in living a beautiful, sensual , healthy and mindful life

Wow, such great tips, especially the one of NOT buying a ton of souvenirs from other countries but a nice memorabilia to display in one's home. I also loved the drapes in Paris pooling on the floor!

Best decorating video ever!! I'm inspired!

The architecture makes it classic chic!!!!!

Love this! I have traveled and lived overseas, including France and these tips are right on. Plus I just love French design!

enjoying the back and forth conversation, humor, keep it up

Second video I watch. First was the Scandinavian. Loved them both. Basically my goals of life. Because I feel that is what is about, more than only design..... LIFE. Thank you guys!

Great hacks! So right about souvenirs! I used to try to buy art. Now I have sooo much! It’s really now about what I really really love!

Lovely tips! Thank you Valentina!

Great advice. There is something about Paris and the unique design and lifestyle. Great, advice as always. You and Jack are rocking the design in your own home. Can't wait to see more.

I really enjoyed this video. I love anything French. It was refreshing to this this so different from French books that I have where everything is over the top. Thank you

This is such a helpful and calming video. I really think I can incorporate your hacks in my home decor.

I love the music and images in the intro

Such an exciting series!

your husband is so funny. he reminds me of my boyfriend lol. i love watching you guys.

You two are adorable! I love your hubby’s sense of humor!

Learned so much. Also, you have the BEST visuals to perfectly illustrate each hack. Never knew I liked Parisian style, you sold it to me and now I gotta incorporate it 😂. Love love love this 💕

This is wonderful. I’m really enjoying your vlog.

Love your videos! Keep'em coming :-)

I love this video!! I’m currently redecorating my house and just returned from Paris so I’m inspired

Thank you guys absolutely love the style I just try not to go crazy with being more cautious with what I buy or Treasures that I'm fine

You guys are adorable! More videos together, please!

Enjoyed this so much!! Thank you both and the intro was hilarious. New subby

I think mixing the straight lines & modern very much detracts from the French beauty of the ornate. Love the old & new together.

I’ve always pooled my curtains. I think it looks great and helps with drafts.

Love this channel, you two are great!!

You always make me smile love you

I enjoy hearing your points on parisian/french style eventhough i am more into scandinavian approach.

I have been telling people to pool their drapery for years...also add simple trim to the inside edge of the drape, could be as decorative as a damask ribbon or Greek key, or a soft blush on antique white....the pooling gives the illusion you have tons of money that you can afford to run the excess material on the floor. hemming is very formal pooling is casual elegance which is my fav....by the way, Im French! ;)

Loved this, and Iove Paris! I'm looking at a cachepot I got at the Paris flea market as we speak. But I don't love the pooling curtains so much and actually thought that trend was over. Maybe I need to rethink it. A fun and informative video!

I chose to do a modern French theme for my new bedroom because it has white decorative ceilings that are very tall. I love that Paris apartments have fireplaces in every room. It took my awhile to nail down my personal style until I started looking at photos of Paris apartments, a mix of new with old.

Love these tips, thanks Valentina! Also, couple goals 😉

Loved this video! I’m not sure I’ll ever visit Paris because I really don’t like cities (crowds, traffic, etc), but I do appreciate the design & lifestyle. Thanks in advance for this series! ❤️

So helpful!

I'm officially a fan and subscribing. What a fun and beautiful video! Great tips! Oh...and my curtains pool too!

So inspiring! So happy for you reaching over 40,000 subs. You deserve it! More people are finding out about your wonderful taste!

Oh yes!! I let my curtains pool on the floor. I love the look.

Thank you for the "Parisian hacks" great advise!!!!

Love your channel! ❤️

I am new to your channel! I love to watch you two together! My favorite part of the video is Jack saying something that throws you off for a minute and you respond “I don’t even know what to say” Lol ❤️ love y’all! Blessings from Oklahoma City!

Love your content. Love your personalities. Love your logo & font…tres chic.

That was fantastic, really enjoyed the French Design, so beautiful.

Great tips!

Love this video!

You, both, are just adorable!!! Love u!!!

You two are spectacular!

Great video!

These suggestions are so spot on!! And the part about curtains puddling on the floor, we’ve done that too. But I thought people actually do this. Now I wonder what people think when they see this in my house. Haha.
