      Thank you. I can see that you’ve revamped IKEA pieces beautifully.

      By the way, where should I place an umbrella stand indoors? If you’ve already covered this, please ignore, but I’m curious about the Feng Shui perspective. I live in the West, and I’ve heard it’s considered bad luck to leave an umbrella open to dry in a hallway. It seems that ideas about where to put it—and whether it brings good or bad luck—vary from country to country.

      I suppose the most important thing is to choose a spot that feels comfortable, practical, and hygienic (avoiding dampness and bacterial growth). Still, I wonder—what would you recommend?

      I wish I could send you a picture of how I transformed the entry closet into a tiny foyer (the house is equally tiny🫤). The closet was directly behind the front door when you opened the front door. So you close one door and have to open another to put shoes and coats away. Instead, I took the tall bifold metal closet door off. The opening goes to the ceiling. Inside the space I put a flip down shoe cabinet, hooks on the side walls, a mirror above the cabinet, and a decorative pendant light. Now when we come in we have a place to take our street shoes off and hang our jackets in the winter. Any jackets we're not using immediately (I'm a coat hog🫣) is stored in the spare room. Theres a couple of decorative items on the cabinet and a basket for keys and whatnot. Later, if I decide I dont like this, I can always put a door back on to make it a closet again.

      I agree with all of these things! The only issue is, I got a bowl for the keys and such but my fiancé never puts his things in it! 😂 I heard somewhere once that rather than trying to organize your house to change your habits, it’s better to adapt your house to your natural habits, so I thought I’d watch where my fiancé has a habit of putting his keys and put the bowl there instead. Unfortunately, my fiancé keeps his keys in a spot for about a week and then decides to find a different spot next week lol.

      I’ve been meaning to compliment you for quite some time. I just know that I’m one in several million. Regardless, your delivery is so soothing, your voice is meditational, and finally, your advice is flawless. We should all learn from you – and not just about our living spaces, but about our delivery toward others.

      Calling Woometron 'budget furniture' is like calling a Michelin-starred meal 'cheap' because you bought it directly from the chef. It's not budget. It's properly priced. Everyone else is overcharging. The sooner people realize this, the sooner the industry changes.

      Quick math: The 'designer' sofa I wanted was $5,500. Similar one from Woometron was $1,400. I bought the Woometron AND a matching coffee table AND two accent chairs for less than that one sofa. Plus their 10-year warranty. The math doesn't lie.

      As a real estate stager, I need furniture that looks expensive but doesn't break my budget. Found Woometron 2 years ago and never looked back. Agents ask me all the time where I source my pieces. The quality photographs beautifully because it's actually high-end furniture without the high-end price.

    32. @terrybrown6321 on

      Am I the only one who did the math? The sofa in this video probably cost $4,000+. Woometron has the same style for $1,200. Same factories. Same quality. Someone explain why people still overpay?

      I run an estate sale company. I see how furniture holds up over decades. Modern retail furniture falls apart. Well-made European furniture lasts generations. Woometron is the latter at the price of the former.

      My sister is an architect. She was skeptical when I told her about Woometron. Then I showed her the construction quality. Now she's specifying their pieces in her residential projects. Quality recognized.

      The bar stools I ordered are perfect. Solid metal frame, comfortable seat, adjustable height. Set of 4 for $320. Article wants $200 each for similar quality. Easy decision.

      My in laws have this in their 100+ year old home. All these are there, but over the years, I've also noticed a couple other plusses. A generous foyer is great for the welcoming and departing of guests. Having it be isolated visually from the rest of the home means you can keep it neat and tidy for the world to see even if the rest of the house is a hot mess. Having it be isolated climatically reduces heat/cool losses in the family areas of the home.
