Oh, lucky you with your Nespresso, @NickNack , yum!  You and I seem to like a lot of the same decorating sites, I've noticed. 

@hellodali,  exactly, I hope The Painted South comes back, I've been missing my "fix" of her soothing diy videos!  I can watch Lisa Holt in small doses-- she does have good information, a lot of the time.  Valentina of "House of Valentina" tends a bit to that "over-enthusiasm" too, but again, nice videos...

Gosh, I didn't even notice the paid courses that Paige does.  I'll stick with the free videos--  for some reason, the various courses that these people give don't appeal to me very much. 

These talented youtubers are a replacement for the decorating mags I used to love to get and pore over!

Great to chat with you too--  you're another who hones in on a lot of stuff I like too!

@Oznell   Yes, whenever I see a post of yours I open it.  I know it will be something I like.

I like both mugs but leaning towards the Glendale ones.  I like the more modern style.

Thanks for sharing.

ohmygosh, simple and sleek.  I like them.  Wish I saw these last week.  Two days ago I went to the Janelle Polish Pottery warehouse here in CT, they are having a 25% off sale so I went.  Good lord, bought 6 mugs and with discount paid $119.    Thought my hubby would pitch a fit but he liked them, thankfully!

Yes, @hellodali and @Nonametoday ,  Arvin is fun.  Agreed, these youtubers don't necessarily have to be my personal decorating style to be interesting or have some appealing angle to offer...

The decorating sites I look at most include him, The Painted South, Garret LeChic, Farmhouse Vernacular, Nick Lewis, Nicolas Fairford and Beau Alexander.

baiyinadotcom has been good lately because of her 'adventure'--  she is a desiger who, disillusioned with L. A., decamped from there, and wound up in Dallas area.  She's got a sort of French decorating sensibility and is slowly decorating her small apartment on a budget.  Much fun to see the progress on projects like that...

Edited to add:  I inadvertently put the name of the baiyina decorating blog, not the videos, above;  for the youtube videos that follow the decoration of her new apartment, I think googling baiyina youtube will pull them up...

I'm liking a lady who was in LA but ended up in Oklahoma with her daughter and I did not subscribe to her channel and forgot who she is.  Is that the same one?  Maybe.

Incidentally, those are some of my favorites as well.

Cool, @Nonametoday ,  we definitely have a little club of like-minded decorating fans going.

Baiyina could not be that woman, I believe--  as far as I know she does not have a daughter.   She first moved back to Pennsylvania I think to live for awhile with her mother, while she ruminated about where to move.  Then took off on a road trip and Dallas struck her the most of all the cities she visited.  It's a small, but potentially charming apartment in an older building, I believe.  Should be fun to see what she does with it....

@Oznell   You are absolutely right.  I have watched Baiyina.  The one I am thinking about is Rebecca Robeson.  She did a lot of high-end homes in California.  Got a divorce.  Her daughter, who is also a decorator, moved to Tulsa and she has since joined her daughter in Tulsa in Kimwoven - Robeson 

[Oznell]

Ha, ha, @Nonametoday ,  as soon as I posted just now I suddenly realized you must be talking about Rebecca!  I periodically check out the "Kinwoven" site too.

Gosh, that huge pile she bought in Tulsa could be so daunting!   She seems very confident about it, and will no doubt have something fab in the end!  I was also surprised her daughter also got such a huge house...

With real estate going through the ceiling due to lack of lumber, they might have some great investments.  

I think Rebeca must either be a degreed interior designer from architecture school or she is a building sciences graduate.  She does a lot of stuff that is not interior decorating although she does some of that too.
