My first Q&A - Find out more about me, my background, how I got started in design, and how old I am! 

If I may suggest. You must always remember, that you are a worthy person, who deserves happiness and love. Wake-up and smile and thank the universe (or god) for life and smile when you say it. Go to the mirror and tell yourself, that you're gorgeous as you smile--concentrate on the positive--don't look at yourself under a prying eye finding the minute flaw but rather embrace them. Law of attraction taught me this. Before I would wake-up rather grumpy; avoid the mirror and when faced with it would see just my flaws. Now, I wake-up thanking the universe for a new lovely day with a smile, which makes, me happy; go to look in the mirror and tell myself I'm gorgeous. Go on about your day thinking positively (don't put yourself down [there are plenty of uglies to do that-don't be your worst enemy), see the beauty in everything like yourself. Be truly grateful and vocalise it, for what you have from little, simple things of a cup of tea, your breakfast to great things. Gratitude has a positive effect on one's well being and disposition. Look into law of attraction videos on you tube, e.g. Dr. Joe Dispenza. I wish you well, many blessings upon you :)

Aww this is so lovely! Thank you!

Yes absolutely Nicolás is such a sweet person he is the child every mother would love to have.

@@maggiehendon9946 There’s a time and a place for everything, Maggie. Stop spamming Nicholas’s comment section with your inappropriate comments. Nobody said anything against Jesus. Nobody mentioned Jesus except you. Give it a rest, woman! Did you even watch the video? Do you have a compliment or any constructive criticism? No? Then pipe down. You’re welcome! 😇

Hi Carmen such a beautiful overall portrayal of Nicolas - and so true 🙏

@@susantaylor5068, thank you... 😊😘

So glad you enjoyed it!

I’d like him to read bedtime stories for me.

Yes it is wonderful to listen to him

That is so kind! Thank you!

Yes. Elegance and grace are timeless, and so needed. As you point out in videos, it is most often not a question of money, but of love and attention to detail and honoring one's own unique expression of taste and beauty. It is an energy that is manifested and transmitted when these are combined to create/express something. I think we are going to return to elegance, grace, and beauty. These things are essential.

totally agree

Yes , I feel the same , I was meant to find this channel !

I just found you ! I subscribed ... you are an amazing gentleman ! God bless

So interesting to hear your perspective! Thanks for your kind comments!

I spent many years in Italy and in other places in Asia, etc. I understand that the US doesn't come close to the age or depth of these places. But, there are still many gorgeous building unique to the US that are worth the study and our admiration. There are places all over the world that are unique and beautiful to the place and time period they are from- we can learn and appreciate from all of them.

Great comment, generous and true.

It’s called Neo-Traditional. Not everyone wants to live in an insipid sterile interior that’s a combination of an embalming chamber and a low maintenance prison. Historicism is purely incidental. True interior design takes the prized belongings of ones client, integrates them into a desired space (desired by the client).

What a nice post, professor! Talent can come from life experience. We are learn in different ways. Peace.

How are you doing 😊😊👋😊

Hi Bryan, I am well, thank you. How are you? I hope you are having a lovely Solstice and a Happy Summer.

@@mariansmith7694 I'm doing great where are you from if i may ask?

Should follow his footsteps.

My friend with the power of make up anything is possible 😉

Great idea that would be amazing for him.

Great idea! Love it so much and I've always wanted to write a book!

Me too plz do i would buy a book on etiquette and eloquence

👏👏👏👏👏

Me too.

They sure are! Thank you!

If you listen, he reveals he is not from an aristocratic family. He is quite talented and a gentle soul. I am very glad I found him! I have been to England twice and I highly recommend traveling there after this horrid pandemic is over. I would love to see Edinburgh too!

@@vegetariansuniteworldwide8091 Dear vegetarian, what does it have to do with you and your assumptions abt my knowledge of ppl, and Nicolas in particular?😉 Be attentive - I wrote that a month ago. *Btw, I've slightly changed my mind now. However, I still follow this channel just for further research purposes - it's my right, isn't it?✌🌈

Great asmr voice hehe

@@mahimakalla1861👍 Whether you are ironic or not, I agree with you. *Especially after I heard his natural😉 voice reaction when the camera fell down (in the blooper) 😂

@@byealex7607 I couldn't see the blooper... timestamp please? BTW I actually meant what I said... not being sarcastic:)

Oh thank you!

He looks like Leonardo Dicaprio in The Beach movie ♥️

I was waiting for him to say 21 too.

Me too 😄

Thanks so much, Nicholas, from Canada. I enjoyed three of your videos tonight. I subscribed and look forward to more.

So kind! Thank you so much

Good breeding -- like good genes -- will always show! I'm so glad that I got a YT recommendation about tea today! Subscribed and Favorited! Warmest regards from the U.S.A.!

I think he's 17

He's the new Martha Stewart.

Cheeky you! I too thought of that old video of Dorian Grey here on YT. Nicolas is just beautiful, I believe 😊. Blessed man.

Haha that made me smile! Thanks for the kind comment x x

@@NicolasFairford You are very welcome.

Hv

Funny that others made the association with Dorian Grey because that was my first impression also.

And give Sophie a big hug for me, goodness she's adorrraaaabblee! And wouldn't mind seeing more of her in your videos 😊

Thank you so much x

That is such a good idea! I will definitely add it to my planner! Thank you so much x

I am so sorry for your loss. May your happy memories be of comfort to you.

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

My husband is from Colombia as well☺️

Thank you!

According to Elaine Johnson you are an American, 😄.

@@marlengood1972An American??

@@marlengood1972 ?

@@marlengood1972 - He was born in the West Midlands, in the UK 🇬🇧 Therefore he is not American 🇺🇸

he is a Hispanic living in America please read articles in redit and link to his other site he use to call himself (Nicolas de Pompadour) in relation to Madame de Pompadour please watch the film (The Talented Mr. Ripley) he reminds me of the lead character

Such a nice thing to say - thank you so much! x

You forgot the whip cream on top🤗

Yes! Agree with every single word... elegance with kindness.

Isn’t he just the best to listen to....🥰

@@elainejohnson796 where are you from? Are you implying that he is not sophisticated, or just stating the fact that is not a remarkable trait to bring up as often as Americans do? Who do you call Americans, USA citizens or inhabitants from America the continent? How did you come out with this result?

S Magnolia you are from the USA according to Elaine Johnson.

I agree! 😊😊😊

How wonderful! Thank you!

So beautiful.

WOW....😊😊😊 I had a Gentleman write a poem about me. I think it was 🤔🤔 1993 ? But this ONE; is very insightful and thoughtful in regard to Nicolas's persona. You should write poetry as a " side job" .

🌹🌹

Oh thank you!

His skin is great! It probably comes from his healthy diet as well. ☺️💕

Wow, thank you!

Wow, thank you! I am a big Martha fan!

@@NicolasFairford yes I thought this too 😍

@@NicolasFairford 🤔Not sure I agree with the Bard about names... ✒Yours is perfectly elegant -- and quite fitting for an up-&-coming 📺YT lifestyle guru. (😔It just would not have the same impact if you were called "Lester Fairweather." TeeHee.) ~~~~~~~~~~ 💚Seriously... love: (1) Your elegant logo as well as your choice of fresh bright citrus colors🍋. (2) Your opening title sequence with your stunningly dressed bright green & white lattice console table with your beautiful bird🐦, bugs🐛 & botanical🍃 lamps. (3) 🎼Your gentle music selection at the start. Well done! 👏👏👏 ps 🤗Enjoy seeing the above console table merchandised in a variety of pleasing ways on your vlog/blog. ⬆️Although the above mentioned set-up might be my ☄favorite☄ of them so far. ~~~~~~~~~~ 👨‍🏫Please consider adding a styling tutorial to your future schedule. Appreciate 👖fashion stylists that demonstrate styling "hits & misses." It gives those designed challenged folks (like myself) helpful info to assess why some visual cues work while others do not. Would love a "show & tell" using your beloved possessions to illustrate best ways to dress a specific surface. Bonus: You can use it to cover design guidelines like scale/proportion, levels, symmetry, impact of other visual lines, #s for showcasing collections (3s, 5s, 7s), rotation, etc. (😉Not a designer, but am well studied📖 on the subject!) 1) Maybe style it 3 ways in a "good, better, best" scenario where you explain your reasoning behind each look. Challenge your viewers to decide the order of what's most appealing to them. These preferences are all subjective. 2a) Or, do a "fail or prevail" scenario. Show a set-up of common mistakes ppl make when displaying their things. Contrast that by next staging how to show those same things off to better advantage. 2b) 😍Adore that you are a maximalista, but you could style some minimalist looks too. If you're gonna show off less, ppl tend to forget that you gotta go bigger. 😭Looks sad with something tiny on a sizeable surface. Thx for your consideration! ☮💛🌼

@@teresacarle294 I think you are full of interesting ideas to showcase in your own channel.

Very much enjoying your ideas and style. Love the fact that your granny had such an influence on your growth into your lifestyle. God bless our elders- that set us into our paths in life. I had an aunt that always stressed the importance of a ‘proper ‘ bed. So.. no matter what your day has been like. That way you always have a beautiful spot to end your day. Thank you for bringing your wonderful life into ours. 😍

Can't wait!

Yeah that seems great!

That is really kind! Thank you! X

@@NicolasFairford тьтбит ноььаццватььтррро5отль... 7гт ииг

it's ok to wish friends like him. I do it too haha

Oh, I agree! He is a darling!

Well I’m a 69 year old lady and I would love to have tea with him and talk for hours. He’s a very unique and special human being!

It's a very familiar tale

How are you doing 😊😊😊👋👋

Thank you, I will

Such a lovely thing to say - so glad you enjoy my videos!

So glad to hear that! x

Yes he should read books and put them on tape. But honestly British make voices are all soothing and refined.

Or sing. 😀

Oh thank you!

How are you doing 😊😊👋😊

I also appreciated his simple tips this episode on ☄living more elegantly☄. ☺I was moved that he didn't let his background stall him from his pursuit of beauty. Nor did he allow his lack of formal education in interior design stop him either. 💖Love the fact he honed his own artistic vision by 📚reading up on what other experts he admired had to say on the subject. I imagine he embraced what resonated within himself. Some things he might've put on a back burner to revisit again at a later date. There are other notions he likely completely discarded. It is admirable for him to promote life-long learning in this setting. 🎓Even when you have a degree, life can get rather limiting if we're not keeping up with new information & innovations. In this unsettling season of 😷unrest☑, 💀political negativity,☠deplorable lack of civility in public discourse, many hunger for a return to diplomacy & manners. His calmness, certainty & serenity is like a soothing balm😊. Gifted designers will sometimes play 😈devil's advocate challenging our long held beliefs. They can open our eyes & thinking in new ways🙃. 😔They sometimes help others identify & remove our 🚧roadblocks why we feel we cannot do something. 🗣The negative voices that say: "I don't deserve it. I wasn't raised like that. I cannot afford it. I wouldn't know what to do." And, so on. ⛾As he suggested, almost anyone can buy a nice vessel for their tea or coffee. Or, splurge on a single place setting at a minimum🍽. Many of us do not use a 💧dishwasher or have servants, so we have to 🖐hand wash💦 anyway. If fine China represents elegance to you, by all means you should use it every day. 😎It can be a luxury to buy high-end quality items brand new, but fortunately there are outlets & sales🛒. Plus, there are 🛠ways🖌 to make what you can afford (or currently own) look a 💰million bucks. 😝Despise designers that want you to toss everything out & start anew every cycle🗑. 🚩It does seem empty to pursue a design goal you'll never quite win bcos those stakes keeping changing🏁. 🌎Nor does it seem good for our planet to be so wasteful. 😁Seeking a sense of classic timelessness & developing a willingness to build our style over time are worthy goals. I agree with him that getting rid of everything for all new possessions can feel phoney, staged, & a bit soulless🤤. 💖Love that he encourages us to savor things that have a bit of dinge. He respects the provenance of all things, not just of antiques & vintage goods. The chronology of custody of our possessions is interesting. It can reveal a lot about us. 😍He values things that have been lovingly collected &/or inherited. I respect that he's managed to create a lovely home using his instincts, ingenuity & determination. 🦉It is wise of him to encourage others to enjoy their best life now. He's a young man who has prioritised his aesthetic. His own research has likely strengthened his own design & fashion sensibilities. He's creating his own traditions. Found out what works for him. Thankfully, he's showing that being single doesn't mean you cannot have a rich & varied life. 📦Storing everything away for some special occasion doesn't always make sense. 🤗Nicolas Fairford, who is fair of face & manner, clearly understands beauty & what is pleasing to the eye⚱. 🙏Hope he does share more tips on styling. Find it helpful to see examples of how others put different 🗿elements🏺 together for a pleasing tableau. Maybe how to find, define, or refine personal style. I suspect he has a lot to share on both the decor & fashion front when it comes to his personal philosophy. 🤔Look forward to watching him find & develop his unique 📺YT voice, perspective & content for this channel. Already his 🎦multi-media💻 skills have shown improvement👍. Something tells me it will be 🤹‍♀️exciting🤸‍♀️ to 👀watch his continued 💪 growth and success🏆. Blessings of ☮Peace 💛Love 🌼Beauty from Los Angeles
