YouTube: Kylie M’s Paint Color Advice & Home Update Ideas

By Kylie

February 3, 2025

I started my Kylie M. YOUTUBE channel a few years ago, seeing if I could get any interest, and hot damn, it worked! Now, I have almost 46,000 followers  – THEY LIKE ME, THEY REALLY LIKE ME! Well, the guy who commented on my chest size really liked me. And bless his heart, he thought I was a ‘C’ cup! Ummm, sir, it’s not THAT type of YouTube channel…but I’ll take that as a compliment.

In our old home, we didn’t have a spot for the setup, meaning I had to shut down my office for one to two days to set up the lights/camera and get some videos shot. And at the rate that my Online Color Consulting business was growing, it wasn’t long before the idea of ‘shutting down the office for a day or two’ was NOT in the cards! So, I took a break from videos…and moved…a few times.

Our new home has more space than we need, and I finally have a dedicated video room! Now, don’t get all excited; I’ll be fully clothed and staying somewhat within the boundaries of what I should/shouldn’t say on camera (until you see the blooper reel, now THAT is something special).

  • Homeowner’s Guide: White Kitchen Cabinets

    This isn’t another ’10 Best Cabinet Colors’ list, because there is no SINGLE best white for every home and every kitchen.

    Learn how to choose a white cabinet paint color that works with your countertops, backsplash, flooring, trim, lighting, and home—so you can rule out the wrong whites, sample fewer colors, and choose with confidence.

  • Accent Colors – And How to Use Them

    This isn’t about plastering your home in the ‘Color of the Year’ or following the latest trends (unless you really want to).

    It’s about finding accent colors that work with YOUR home, YOUR style, and YOUR comfort level.

    Because the best accent color isn’t one you love on a paint chip, it’s one that makes everything around it look better.

  • Homeowner’s Guide: Exterior Paint Colors

    Painting your home’s exterior is a BIG investment and choosing a color based on a tiny paint chip, a trend or the house down the street can be an expensive mistake.

    Learn how to look at YOUR roof, YOUR windows, YOUR brick (or stone) and YOUR home as a whole so you can understand what colors make sense.

    The goal? Less guessing, fewer samples and a lot more confidence before gallons of paint go on your home.

  • Exterior Trim Paint Colors

    This isn’t a list of ‘the best trim colors’, although you’ll get a ton of links to great shades!

    You’ll learn how to look at your home and understand whether it needs contrast, repetition, connection, or a little visual peacekeeping to pull it all together.

    Because trim might seem like a small detail…but spread it around all four sides of your home on multiple surfaces and it suddenly has a pretty big job.

    I have been waiting & waiting for the Gossamer Vail video. Thank you!!! Love the sample painted on a bigger pallet in the video. Can you tell us what color the stick/trim is that you hold against it for contrast? I have Alabaster trim & doors. I’m not sure it would work with Gossamer. Thank you!!!

      Hi Lisa! That is actually plain ole white, nothing exciting! And I know, it’s GV so pretty! It’s that bit warmer than people expect, while still being grayish feeling, it’s pretty cool. And I see no prob with AlabaSter and GV. The warmth of Alabaster will be a subtle complement to GV!

    Hi there great tips always…love getting your updates. Where do you get the white material that you do your sample boards on?

      Hi Marjie! It varies, but usually, I buy the 9×11 canvases from Michaels Craft Store! This way there’s a bit of texture.
