This theme obsessed baby boomer used to decorate each room with a different country's decor. I had a Paris Apartment themed bedroom, a Scottish themed bedroom, and a Wild West, Native American themed bedroom, and a German living/dining area. 🤣🙄🤣 Strolling through the house gave people a whiplash of multicultural vignettes that left heads spinning! Thanks for being kind with us boomers and our themed rooms of yesteryear. 🥰
74-year-old boomer here. There’s such a wide age range with baby boomers. There’s a wide range of design styles. A lot of the things you mentioned are more like what I grew up with, what my parents had like colonial furniture, and China cabinets. They weren’t things that I had however, most of my friends are hoarders, can’t get rid of anything, attached to all their little collections and tchotchkes. Not me I always get told it looks like no one lives here and I consider that a compliment. I don’t remember ever having a themed kitchen, but one thing you didn’t mention that I had and a lot of people had was wallpaper borders.
Omg the geese, the mauve and blue sponge painting 🤦🏻♀️ I did it all lol. I feel like farmhouse is the new geese and mauve and blue lol. One day everyone will look back and say remember when we all had the farmhouse everywhere?
As a Boomer, this really hit!Since my kids have grown, I’ve addressed many of these aspects of our home. I now feel like it does not scream “Boomers Aboard.” I’ve painted our downstairs walls in SW Westhighland White and our kitchen cabinets in SW Dove Gray. I culled our collections of owls and John Stobart prints, removed carpeting, got rid of anything plastic, updated some furniture pieces and lots of accessories, used colors for through lines to connect our rooms, and taken our precious African Art out of storage and incorporated it into our design (we had been protecting it from young hands for years). My 25 yo is proud of what I’ve done, and is planning a Friendsgiving here with her friends this month. That’s the ultimate seal of approval for me. Thanks for being gentle, respectful and helpful!
Wahwahwah 😩 I’m a baby boomer (‘63) and I’m sooo guilty! The china cabinet, the dark furniture, and don’t get me started on the matchy matchy living room set that my husband insisted on. Thank you Garrett for giving us grace and inspiring us to make better design choices- we need you !!!!
🇦🇺Good morning Gorgeous Garrett, ancient Boomer here, one of the oldest, in fact--although I think the term “Mid Century Classic” fits me better. Don’t lump us all in the same basket: I have never done a themed room, hate wall to wall carpet, and would burn my house down before allowing carpet in a bathroom. In fact my taste and style align very much with yours. …Which must mean my own taste is impeccable, n’est pas? I do plead guilty to having done sets in the past; we were persuaded that mis-matched looked cheap and tacky. And big pieces looked “expensive”, a look we are still chasing today, though in a very different way. You are right about the decades of accumulation, I feel like a rusty old boat that has crossed many oceans and has picked up so many barnacles on the hull I’m about to sink under the weight. There is going to be a great barnacle scrape taking place soon before I move to my very much downsized and probably last little home. And yet I keep acquiring new stuff anyway-found an astonishingly beautiful brass lamp lurking under muck and grime in a corner of a thrift shop the other day and I’m ecstatic at how it came up with a bit of polish and elbow grease.
I must admit I had a French style, roosters all over a yellow and red kitchen when I lived in Washington state. Ha ha! Before you cringe, it was bright and charming when living in a place where it rains 3/4 of the year.
I must confess, I wanted matching furniture when I first got married. I don't any longer as I never had a lot of money to buy much back then. Now I enjoy an eclectic mix and the stories they tell. I love hard wood floors and would love to have it through-out but I live in ND and it would be much to cold on the feet. My feet freeze on my kitchen floor even in the summer and I have to wear slippers. Carpet makes it a little warmer.
@ I know, I’m in an old house now. It’s a row home with the kitchen technically in the basement. It’s always cold down there. Wish they put in the radiant coils when the new floor was put in.
I am originally from the southwest, but am totally midwest now (my husband is from the midwest. Our master bedroom is southwest indian themed, and I still love it. I have collected many pieces from all over the country for many years. These bring me happiness, so I am keeping it. I love his constant reminder that if we love it, keep it!
Hi, boomer here. Here’s the thing…when we built our house in 2005 we had to buy new furniture for it that fit the scale of the large rooms with high ceilings as well as the style of the architecture. Guess what that was? Guess what the furniture stores offered at that time? You guess it, Tuscan. The trend was everywhere, even in restaurants. Yes it’s outdated now but it seemed the only choice at the time. The folks that bought houses 10 years ago will soon find that their ship lap farmhouses are starting to be outdated too. So will the style that came in 5 years ago, with blonde wood and Boucle chairs. The paint / furniture / decor industries all coordinate the trends and we tend to follow because the choices at the store are limited.
Theme rooms begin in childhood. Starting in the 70s, my brother always had African safari wallpaper, art, and linens. I always had flowers and butterflies.
Gen X here. My boomer family members don’t understand why I don’t collect more and don’t have the same clutter. I love family heirlooms but not something you picked up at Furniture Warehouse in 1987.
My parents are both hoarders and collectors of random junk. My mum has soo much paperwork, cds, books and just a tonne of clutter. Nothing is organised and mostly remnants of ex partners. I am intentional compared to them but I have held onto the love of colour, thrifting, vintage and antiques. I’m not scared to spend money and style my home with authenticity.
I don't know about modern carpeting but, we have wool carpet on our stairs that is at least 35 years old and looks great. The rest of the house is hardwood or tile. We had planned to take up the stair carpet but, it ain't broke so, we won't fix it.
@@GarrettLeChic LOL, I wouldn't call our carpeted stairs elegant. The color is rather 1970's and not my favorite but, the stairs are tucked away and functional more that a design feature. Anyway, the carpet does make the stairs safer and quieter.
Boomer here and I have never done any of these things, afaik, but then again my grandparents had a flawless MCM home with great art mostly by their friends, so I had good examples;-))
I think what he's saying is an American thing. European decor is usually very different because there will be antiques that have been in the family for generations, and haven't been as pressured into purchases by advertising. Also American homes tend to be boxes while European homes usually have a lot of structural quirks which influence the decor, and Americans move much more frequently than Europeans which stimulates the decorating and choice of furnishings. The examples shown on here are classic Americana. I was also a child surrounded by Danish modern design and decor. Have always loved the clean lines, use of natural materials and color palette of mcm design.
Ok…. I was born in 1962 I’m a boomer lol…. I took a 2 year design course in college. I have always had an eye for design…. My boomer issues are clutter…. I have 40 years of items… I am declutter little by little and am finally close to a closure….. you have helped me take my items I have and add sophistication….i know the basics but yes overwhelming clutter….just learning to keep the items I love …thanks for all your help and this was a funny video as I can relate lol….thanks for sharing ❤
Ahahaha, guilty boomer here! (Actually Generation Jones, but close enough) Twenty years ago I had an over-the-top Frida Kahlo themed room. She was everywhere: throw pillows, curtains, light switch covers, flower pots, and of course art. It was overwhelming and I loved it! 😳😳😳
Had wall to wall in my house growing up that my mom had installed. She was born in 1918. She covered the hardwoods ! Wedgwood was a trend just a roosters were a trend. If you love it….. who’s to say.
@@teresasmith2161 We’re about the same ages 85 & 65. My mom evolved into traditional. Leather more modern. Eames chair. Odd shaped lights. I kept her old style that I grew up with. Williamsburg with a twist.
I am literally halfway between you and your mom in age and have never done any of those things, either. I wonder if there are regional differences in timing?
I don't think boomers were driven so much by design trends as by movies and books. English country style came in with the rage for Brideshead Revisited and Merchant Ivory movies, and suddenly everyone wanted the Laura Ashley English cottage look. The French country style with roosters followed the bestselling book A Year in Provence. The Tuscan kitchen trend started after the movie Under the Tuscan Sun. It's more about aspirational lifestyles for boomers than wanting to keep up with the trends for the sake of trends. Boomers only care about design trends when it's time to re-sell, because the market for their home will skew younger.
So I really think the house speaks what the design should be. I live in a historic neighborhood with lots of storybook cottages - the cottage style works well in them. But some like me kind of mix it up.
When you started talking about boomers and their love for collecting, themes and wall to wall carpeting, I was laughing thinking about my Mom and her friends. My Mom wasn't into themes, but holy crap was she a collector! She loved crystal and bisque porcelain figurines...everywhere! When we moved into a brand new home in the 70's, the first thing she did before we actually moved in, was cover every square inch of oak flooring with wall to wall carpeting (bathrooms and kitchen excluded), including the staircase! I remember Fer friends decorated their kitchens with a mushroom motif....wall art, curtains, dishes, serving pieces...everything! I hated it then and to this day it makes me cringe when I remember it. Clutter, clutter and more clutter was so prevalent. My Mom and her friends weren't boomers, , she was born in 41. I actually am a boomer...but not with that design style ever.
Good Morning Garrett, A good one for the starters. Oh my carpet in the bathroom and bulky matching sofas are a big red flag. Arden’s look into the camera😍 Thank you for the vlog and have a beautiful week ahead🤗
Something my MIL an elder Boomer shared with me a baby Boomer (61) was, Jenny, you don’t have to have everything you collect (kid’s projects, sentimental trinkets from grandmothers etc) out all at once. Create a space in your garage and rotate the items, with the seasons so nobody feels slighted.” Best advice I ever got! My house looked sooooo much better! Not as cluttered and everyone looks for their items when they come over! Sorta like a sentimental scavenger hunt!
I am at the beginning age of baby boomers. The carpeted bathrooms I found often in the bathrooms of my parent's friends. Disgusting practice I never understood. Too matchy matchy furniture...yep, guilty! And we paid dearly for the upholstered pieces...very difficult to say goodbye to them!
Agreed! I’ve seen homes built in the 1950’s through the 1990s with carpeting in the bathroom. As large scale home development occurred, there was a great prevalence of the use of carpet even in bathrooms and other synthetic materials especially in average tract built homes especially because it was cheaper and faster to install than the hard surfaces typically found in older homes.
Boomer here, turned 70 a few weeks ago. I'm guilty of wallpaper borders, even stenciled one around the top of the dining room once. It was insane, while beautiful when it was completed it was labor intensive and difficult.I also sponge painted half a room,but never had a themed room or collected anything. I live in a 3 bedroom home now and half the closets, dressers and cabinets are empty. Living 2 miles from the ocean it is mostly blue and white with some yellow. My furniture fits well in the space, I have a loveseat vs sofa and two chairs, I have a 70lb dog and she needs somewhere to lounge! She's sprawled on the love seat as I type this 😍Although I don't have a lot of junk I always feel as if I have too much, I go through drawers/closets periodically and toss out accumulated whatnots. I think odd socks and plastic containers secretly migrate and transform into clutter. 😆
collections, spoons and racks, plates, elephants. these were given to this boomer by the Silent generation and the Greatest generation. what to do? gradually just threw them away but was sad to do so.
I am a gen X girl and I’m proud to say that my style is very similar to the boomers but way scaled down. My friend boomer is what you described and refuses to let go of some of the things that she inherited from her parents ie her chunky bold flower sofa . At the moment she’s trying to sell it but nobody wants it. I tried to tell my in-laws that if someone wants some of their furniture like grandkids that is just starting out, they should give now then later before they go out and buy for themselves. At least this is what my thoughts for my children .
Hello 👋 Arden is so adorable 🥰 Omg I confess, I had a goose cookie jar because my mom had one. With time, I came into my own style and less was definitely best for me. I also had a green carpet in the bathroom and I learned very quickly that it was a horrid idea lol 😂 what can I say we live and learn. Great video as always 😊
Boomer here. I never had roosters or chickens other than one smallish murano rooster. I think carpet in a bathroom was the generation before boomers. Am not big on collections other than art work ( we have Native American pottery, paintings from the Taos artists). I’ve had small collections of llardo figurines that I gave to my mother and then to my elder brother keeping two pieces that were gifts from family . Sometimes collections happen because family and friends see a couple of items in your house (husband had a couple of small rhino knickknacks -a boomer word? lol) and he received them as gifts. Our boomer designer would agree with you 100%. She was amazing and we still have artwork and furniture from when we worked with her about 30 years ago. Heaven must be a beautiful place if she has designed it.
Wall to wall carpeting was not the generation before. That generation was using hard surface flooring particularly wood. Just look at homes built in the time frame you are speaking of, and it’s primarily hardwood and some tile. As large scale home development occurred more and more carpet and other synthetic materials become popular because they could be made quickly, more cheaply and way faster to install. I’m glad you have such wonderful feelings toward your deceased interior designer. It’s nice to hear.
@ thank you for the info. I’m sure you are correct. I was going by people I knew who put carpeting in bathrooms and they were not boomers. It’s gross no matter who puts it in😉
My furniture does not match! it may be actual wood furniture, but it’s sturdier and has better built than anything new today. I have a front room that’s Arts and Crafts, a living room that’s mid-century modern. I collected these treasures over the years. Artwork on the walls are original abstract, surrealist and pop art, and there’s midcentury ceramics and lamps. Somehow it all works.
My mother was never tied to design trends. She hung a beautiful Madeira tablecloth on the wall, since, "I so rarely use it, at least I can enjoy its beauty." She used a Japanese Priest's stole given to my paternal grandmother for a wall hanging, had bowls of sea shells throughout the house, had a lovely patio table, wrought iron legs with glass top in the formal dining room. She had two smaller tables of the same design at the head and foot of the table. She purchased chairs in the same design. There were eight children, so the table and the smaller tables together fit us perfectly. when there were more people, at Christmas, for instance, she moved the smaller tables away from the large one, all still in the dining room, and that gave us eight extra seats. Our kitchen table was the old dining room table and used chairs of the same design as the dining room, which my mother had purchased at the time. This was in the early sixties and she pretty much kept to her own taste the rest of her life. In the sixties and seventies, hanging table cloths on walls and having bowls of sea shells was not the norm, nor was having a patio table as one's formal dining table. At the time, most homeowners had painted their walls either white or the "color of the week." My mother painted hers soft green and kept to that for the rest of her life. It was her favorite color. She had no problem mixing modern with antique. She even had a few coffee tables that were the same design as the dining table. We had a large (but not by today's standards) house, so one didn't really notice. The formal rooms had no draperies. They had Swiss dot sheers (in light green, of course,) and pull down blinds. She purchased quite good prints that actually looked like they were painted, had the brush strokes and if you ran your hand over thrm, they felt like real paintings. She bought them at Murphy's Mart (anyone remember them?) It was a discount sort of store, like Woolworth's. Back then, even many inexpensive things are made well. Those pictures would only be found at expensive stores with stories of machines and computers doing wonderful work nowadays. Charge you an arm and a leg for something made by computer. No thanks. I am not saying if you want it, dont buy it, I am just saying it's not the same. She framed them in wooden frames she got at Murphy's, painted the frames, annd they were classic. Some of my friend's mothers would redecorate every year. I thought that was crazy and still do I am so grateful for her attitude. I have different taste than she, I am not so pared down, but her attitude allowed me to decorate as I see ft, not someone else. A group of friends came over one day and one of them had not been there before. She said, "Jeanne, I love your house, it makes me feel safe, like my grandmother's did." I take that as a compliment. I want my house to feel cozy, comfortable (but none of those awful puffy ridiculous sofas and chairs that were popularized in the seventies and have only gotten worse) and safe, like a haven. .
Oh, and she...get ready...mixed woods!!! I think the only match thing she did was the table and chairs. The buffet was a lovely, classic one from the late forties. She never had a taste for getting new things "just 'cause." The reason for the dining table purchase was that when my father was transferred across the country, the movers did not as care as they should have. They ruined her kitchen table.
Great tips! Connection yes! We are all watching our money and worry about bills but it is so worth it to keep your home fresh. I learned this. I don’t regret any purchases and enjoy being home. My boomer friends should not have guilt about renovating their home. I think our frugal nature is part of our thinking. I would say go for it and feel years younger. 🍂🍁🌾
I collected elephants as a kid, and now as I am older, just try to stop people from giving me elephants! I have elephant overload here. What to do? Finally told some No More Elephants!
Because I live in a rental, I'm stuck with carpeting in my bedroom, otherwise pretty flooring throughout. Fortunately, I am able to pick out the one of choice, a non shag.
Well, of course, we BabyBoomers have been around longer to amass more stuff! I grew up with wall to wall carpeting, but NOT in the bathroom (or kitchen!)
Garrett! Another great video!!! Yay! So many memories. My parents bought my childhood home and covered every square inch of hardwood floors with wall to wall carpet. My dad insisted because he didnt want his feet to be cold! Ugh. I would have bought him slippers. Thanks Garrett.
This is such a great series; delivered in your one of a kind charming personality ⭐️. Just had to add , Arden looks like a beautiful stuffed animal. He’s so adorable that he doesn’t look real 🐶.
Oh Garrett, you've made me giggle and laugh. But you made me rip with laughter today, in your comment about kitchen themes. You're such a cheeky cheeky fellow❤😂
Baby Boomer here! I love Cats and I have collected Cat ornaments that look like my Cats that I have had in the past. Or Cat ornaments from our trips to Switzerland, Venice and Egypt for example. 😮. I guess it’s time to Thank them for their Joy and memories they have given me and pass them on through donation for others to love. ❤. Thanks Garrett and Arden for the Joy you give me, week after week 🥰🤗🇨🇦😻😻
@@carolefreeman2544 Keep a few of them! Remember he said to keep what brings you joy? I collect ornaments too and have pared my collection down but will always have them. Best wishes 🙋🏻♀️
I am 80. Colonial design was 1950 when my older sister's husband returned from Korean War That generation was traumatized by the A-bomb and decorated with maple furniture, chintz fabric, carved eagles, hobnail glassware, etc. mea culpa regarding carpeted bathroom 🙂My husband and I installed bathroom carpet when we were mid 20's 1972. Can't forget the mirror tiles I installed around our bath tub! How disgusting!
Hi Garrett. I'm a boomer, and I decorate seasonally to freshen up my home. I'm at home 24/7 every day, and I'd go insane if I had to look at the same things every day all year long. I need change. I love the classic style. Thx so very much for your great tips. N
I'm 72...I always like change. I've done the trends...except wall to wall carpet. NEVER in the bathroom. Yick. I have a few core pieces I will always keep, but it drives me crazy to keep rooms the same forever.
My grandma loved roosters. She was older than baby boomers. I think though. I’m 54 years old right now and I remember as a little tiny kid seeing all the roosters in her house. I also loved it because she had them out in her yard also. They were chickens everywhere.
Sounds great! I look forward to it. Check out my consultation sale in the description of my video coming out Thursday or in the last couple of videos posted. Limited time offering. 😊😊😊
Awesome! Welcome to the channel. It’s great to have you as a part of our very valued subscriber family! I post videos on Thursdays at 1pm and Sundays at 10am. Pacific Time. 😊😊😊
Collections. I had a small collection of small handmade frogs. People got wind of that collection and suddenly I was getting mariachi frogs and other weird frogs for my birthday or house gift or something like that. That was the end of my collection public view. And, in fact, pretty much stopped the collecting of anything.😇
Yes, that’s the down side of ‘collecting’ 3 or 4 appealing items (rabbits, frogs, fruit/veggies). You may never receive a birthday or Christmas gift for the rest of you life that is Not a rabbit, frog, etc. And they may be stuffed versions, oversized, cartoon versions that you wouldn’t ever buy for yourself.
It’s amazing how things change. Of course, I’m not talking about silk wall to wall or handmade for example. However, those are usually very delicate and not the best for homes that get allot of regular use for durability reasons.
See, but, for example I had 2 beautiful sleek Alaskan native artist carved bears. And all of a sudden people got the idea that I collect bears start giving me every cheap cheesy bear themed junk they see. Even when I asked everyone not to buy me clutter.
Whimsical ceramic frog family kitchen since the 1980's. Ethan Allen Georgian Court dining room, living room, bedroom - all with protective glass tops - since the 1980's and early 1990's. Ceramic tile bathroom and laminate kitchen/laundry room flooring. You may say I am stuck in a time warp but it is my home and my sanctuary - but I love your videos! :-)
I’m glad you are enjoying the videos and your home! As you know from watching my videos that I give my opinions but never tell people to change things if they are happy with what they have.
We had friends with a complete Elvis-themed bathroom from the wallpaper to the light switches to every single detail, and it was a complete delight. :)
There was carpet in the bathroom of my house when I bought it (you would not have believed the smell when it came up!), but possibly even more disgusting, I lived in a house with kitchen carpet.
Boomer here. I still have basics I bought in the '70s. Iron bed, bench, small stool, lamps, chest of drawers and baskets. Aside from the bed they've served different purposes over the years. Guilty of having too much stuff though. 😍Arden
Regarding 3:35 and the rooster themed kitchen- agree. nothing wakes me up like a big cup of coffee and a big cock (on my wall, get your mind out of the gutter!
Of course, we had matchy, matchy. With zero time, 2 jobs, 2 babies in diapers, 2 dogs.... We dialed the phone (yes, "dialed") and said, "please ship us every item shown in today's Sunday paper - yes, the couch, loveseat, chair, coffee and end tables, lamps and area carpet." We kept that entire living room for 15 years.
I understand. I’m always busy and consult with many busy people regularly about decorating their homes, and I try to produce videos that are practical in addition to discussing trends and other aspirational and inspirational concepts as well. The main thing is what works and makes people happy in their home is paramount to me, not just what my tastes are or what I do in my home.
When I think you have stopped posting I come and revisit your channel. This is like the second time I have been unsubscribed. YT just doesn't want me to have a fabulous home😒
That’s odd. I post two videos every week usually without fail. Sundays at 10am and Thursdays at 1pm. Pacific time. Definitely make sure you have your bell notifications turned on so you get a notification when I post. Thank you so much for your support! 😊😊😊
LOL... At 3:30 , I thought you were about to say " because nothing wakes you up like a big cock 🐔 in your kitchen "! 😝 Uh huh, we saw your face, and I know we were all cracking up. 😅Boomer here, and have been pretty good about avoiding all that with nods rather than themes. Themes are boring to me. I keep only one cock near my kitchen, A mosaic tile one named after his creator, Sascha Brastoff. 😎
No. Carpet in the bathroom is not low-key disgusting. It's HIGH-key disgusting!!
But hey Garrett, you owe the baby boomers, after all we are the ones who freed the furniture from their plastic covers!
🤣🤣🤣

Ve had the same design style since the late 70’s - English cottage, and I’ve never grown tired of it.
👍👍👍

As a Boomer, this really hit!Since my kids have grown, I’ve addressed many of these aspects of our home. I now feel like it does not scream “Boomers Aboard.” I’ve painted our downstairs walls in SW Westhighland White and our kitchen cabinets in SW Dove Gray. I culled our collections of owls and John Stobart prints, removed carpeting, got rid of anything plastic, updated some furniture pieces and lots of accessories, used colors for through lines to connect our rooms, and taken our precious African Art out of storage and incorporated it into our design (we had been protecting it from young hands for years). My 25 yo is proud of what I’ve done, and is planning a Friendsgiving here with her friends this month. That’s the ultimate seal of approval for me. Thanks for being gentle, respectful and helpful!
The Boomers are the greatest generation!
I did these things in the 80s. Hey Garrett, I'm 74 and my house doesn't look like that. I watch you!
Yay! Thanks for your support.
Wahwahwah 😩 I’m a baby boomer (‘63) and I’m sooo guilty! The china cabinet, the dark furniture, and don’t get me started on the matchy matchy living room set that my husband insisted on. Thank you Garrett for giving us grace and inspiring us to make better design choices- we need you !!!!
Love it!! My pleasure.
Boomer here 🙋♀️. Yep, I have a sunflower theme in the kitchen and have since the 90 s. Never got sick of the items I collected over the years.
I was the same. Waverly print Ivy themed kitchen in the 90’s. Earthy now. Copper & terra cotta.

Thanks for sharing, and for your lovely comment!
THE KITCHEN ROOSTERS. Omg, you just awoke a memory of what the interior decorator my mom hired in the 90s did to the kitchen.
Oh my goodness, I still have my goose measuring cups from decades ago! They're so darn cute, I just can't give them up! 😆
Enjoy them!
Up until a couple years ago, I still had the salt and pepper shakers
Keep what you love.
I must admit I had a French style, roosters all over a yellow and red kitchen when I lived in Washington state. Ha ha! Before you cringe, it was bright and charming when living in a place where it rains 3/4 of the year.
Nothing wakes you up in the morning like a Big...Oh you got me! Too funny!🤣😂

I must confess, I wanted matching furniture when I first got married. I don't any longer as I never had a lot of money to buy much back then. Now I enjoy an eclectic mix and the stories they tell. I love hard wood floors and would love to have it through-out but I live in ND and it would be much to cold on the feet. My feet freeze on my kitchen floor even in the summer and I have to wear slippers. Carpet makes it a little warmer.
We grew up always wearing slippers in the house. Shoes off outside. Our kitchen had radiant heated floors.
@@samanthab1923 If I were to build a house it would have heated floors. It must not have been a thing in the early 80's when my house was built.
@ I know, I’m in an old house now. It’s a row home with the kitchen technically in the basement. It’s always cold down there. Wish they put in the radiant coils when the new floor was put in.
I’ve had the same design style since the late 70’
I LOVE the painting behind you and how you have it framed.
Thank you!
I am originally from the southwest, but am totally midwest now (my husband is from the midwest. Our master bedroom is southwest indian themed, and I still love it. I have collected many pieces from all over the country for many years. These bring me happiness, so I am keeping it. I love his constant reminder that if we love it, keep it!
The most outrageous theme room was Elvis’ jungle room! True
Hi, boomer here. Here’s the thing…when we built our house in 2005 we had to buy new furniture for it that fit the scale of the large rooms with high ceilings as well as the style of the architecture. Guess what that was? Guess what the furniture stores offered at that time? You guess it, Tuscan. The trend was everywhere, even in restaurants. Yes it’s outdated now but it seemed the only choice at the time. The folks that bought houses 10 years ago will soon find that their ship lap farmhouses are starting to be outdated too. So will the style that came in 5 years ago, with blonde wood and Boucle chairs. The paint / furniture / decor industries all coordinate the trends and we tend to follow because the choices at the store are limited.
I loved the Tuscan look at the time as well as the Farmhouse style with shiplap. I never did have any of those looks in my home though.
Theme rooms begin in childhood. Starting in the 70s, my brother always had African safari wallpaper, art, and linens. I always had flowers and butterflies.
Gen X here. My boomer family members don’t understand why I don’t collect more and don’t have the same clutter. I love family heirlooms but not something you picked up at Furniture Warehouse in 1987.
My parents are both hoarders and collectors of random junk. My mum has soo much paperwork, cds, books and just a tonne of clutter. Nothing is organised and mostly remnants of ex partners. I am intentional compared to them but I have held onto the love of colour, thrifting, vintage and antiques. I’m not scared to spend money and style my home with authenticity.
I am a Baby Boomer and one thing I see other Boomers do is hang their wall art too high or the art is too small for the wall.
I don't know about modern carpeting but, we have wool carpet on our stairs that is at least 35 years old and looks great. The rest of the house is hardwood or tile. We had planned to take up the stair carpet but, it ain't broke so, we won't fix it.
That’s awesome! I think the carpeting on the stairs makes sense. It adds a touch of elegance and more safety. I have that myself.
@@GarrettLeChic LOL, I wouldn't call our carpeted stairs elegant. The color is rather 1970's and not my favorite but, the stairs are tucked away and functional more that a design feature. Anyway, the carpet does make the stairs safer and quieter.
I CACKLED about the coffee in the rooster kitchen joke :D
🤣🤣🤣
Boomer here and I have never done any of these things, afaik, but then again my grandparents had a flawless MCM home with great art mostly by their friends, so I had good examples;-))
I think what he's saying is an American thing. European decor is usually very different because there will be antiques that have been in the family for generations, and haven't been as pressured into purchases by advertising. Also American homes tend to be boxes while European homes usually have a lot of structural quirks which influence the decor, and Americans move much more frequently than Europeans which stimulates the decorating and choice of furnishings. The examples shown on here are classic Americana.
I was also a child surrounded by Danish modern design and decor. Have always loved the clean lines, use of natural materials and color palette of mcm design.
Ok…. I was born in 1962 I’m a boomer lol…. I took a 2 year design course in college. I have always had an eye for design…. My boomer issues are clutter…. I have 40 years of items… I am declutter little by little and am finally close to a closure….. you have helped me take my items I have and add sophistication….i know the basics but yes overwhelming clutter….just learning to keep the items I love …thanks for all your help and this was a funny video as I can relate lol….thanks for sharing ❤
I’m just as bad but back in 94 my hubby & I lost everything in a fire. That & a divorce makes you unclutter pretty fast.
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for sharing.
Ahahaha, guilty boomer here! (Actually Generation Jones, but close enough) Twenty years ago I had an over-the-top Frida Kahlo themed room. She was everywhere: throw pillows, curtains, light switch covers, flower pots, and of course art. It was overwhelming and I loved it! 😳😳😳
Had wall to wall in my house growing up that my mom had installed. She was born in 1918. She covered the hardwoods !
Wedgwood was a trend just a roosters were a trend. If you love it….. who’s to say.
@@Clancyriley Don’t laugh my dad was born in 35 & he carpeted all our hardwoods as well. They were really into taking care of stuff.
Baby boomer here, love your channel ❤ Warm minimalist here
Yay! Thank you! I The greatest generation.
My mom is the 1st year of the boomers (80). She does all those. I am the last year of the boomers (61). I do none of those. 😊
@@teresasmith2161 We’re about the same ages 85 & 65. My mom evolved into traditional. Leather more modern. Eames chair. Odd shaped lights. I kept her old style that I grew up with. Williamsburg with a twist.
I am literally halfway between you and your mom in age and have never done any of those things, either. I wonder if there are regional differences in timing?
I don't think boomers were driven so much by design trends as by movies and books. English country style came in with the rage for Brideshead Revisited and Merchant Ivory movies, and suddenly everyone wanted the Laura Ashley English cottage look. The French country style with roosters followed the bestselling book A Year in Provence. The Tuscan kitchen trend started after the movie Under the Tuscan Sun. It's more about aspirational lifestyles for boomers than wanting to keep up with the trends for the sake of trends. Boomers only care about design trends when it's time to re-sell, because the market for their home will skew younger.
So I really think the house speaks what the design should be. I live in a historic neighborhood with lots of storybook cottages - the cottage style works well in them. But some like me kind of mix it up.
When you started talking about boomers and their love for collecting, themes and wall to wall carpeting, I was laughing thinking about my Mom and her friends. My Mom wasn't into themes, but holy crap was she a collector! She loved crystal and bisque porcelain figurines...everywhere! When we moved into a brand new home in the 70's, the first thing she did before we actually moved in, was cover every square inch of oak flooring with wall to wall carpeting (bathrooms and kitchen excluded), including the staircase! I remember Fer friends decorated their kitchens with a mushroom motif....wall art, curtains, dishes, serving pieces...everything! I hated it then and to this day it makes me cringe when I remember it. Clutter, clutter and more clutter was so prevalent. My Mom and her friends weren't boomers, , she was born in 41. I actually am a boomer...but not with that design style ever.
Good Morning Garrett,
A good one for the starters.
Oh my carpet in the bathroom and bulky matching sofas are a big red flag.
Arden’s look into the camera😍
Thank you for the vlog and have a beautiful week ahead🤗
I don’t know Ramani. You might be able to make that work.
Something my MIL an elder Boomer shared with me a baby Boomer (61) was, Jenny, you don’t have to have everything you collect (kid’s projects, sentimental trinkets from grandmothers etc) out all at once. Create a space in your garage and rotate the items, with the seasons so nobody feels slighted.” Best advice I ever got! My house looked sooooo much better! Not as cluttered and everyone looks for their items when they come over! Sorta like a sentimental scavenger hunt!
Do you all remember the cow themed kitchens? Hahaha.
My daughter-in-law still has hers. To each his or her own.
I even had cow contact paper in my kitchen drawers. 😂
😂😂😂@@flowerpower3618
I am at the beginning age of baby boomers. The carpeted bathrooms I found often in the bathrooms of my parent's friends. Disgusting practice I never understood. Too matchy matchy furniture...yep, guilty! And we paid dearly for the upholstered pieces...very difficult to say goodbye to them!
Agreed! I’ve seen homes built in the 1950’s through the 1990s with carpeting in the bathroom. As large scale home development occurred, there was a great prevalence of the use of carpet even in bathrooms and other synthetic materials especially in average tract built homes especially because it was cheaper and faster to install than the hard surfaces typically found in older homes.
Boomer here, turned 70 a few weeks ago. I'm guilty of wallpaper borders, even stenciled one around the top of the dining room once. It was insane, while beautiful when it was completed it was labor intensive and difficult.I also sponge painted half a room,but never had a themed room or collected anything. I live in a 3 bedroom home now and half the closets, dressers and cabinets are empty. Living 2 miles from the ocean it is mostly blue and white with some yellow. My furniture fits well in the space, I have a loveseat vs sofa and two chairs, I have a 70lb dog and she needs somewhere to lounge! She's sprawled on the love seat as I type this 😍Although I don't have a lot of junk I always feel as if I have too much, I go through drawers/closets periodically and toss out accumulated whatnots. I think odd socks and plastic containers secretly migrate and transform into clutter. 😆
collections, spoons and racks, plates, elephants. these were given to this boomer by the Silent generation and the Greatest generation. what to do? gradually just threw them away but was sad to do so.
I am a gen X girl and I’m proud to say that my style is very similar to the boomers but way scaled down. My friend boomer is what you described and refuses to let go of some of the things that she inherited from her parents ie her chunky bold flower sofa . At the moment she’s trying to sell it but nobody wants it. I tried to tell my in-laws that if someone wants some of their furniture like grandkids that is just starting out, they should give now then later before they go out and buy for themselves. At least this is what my thoughts for my children .
Hello 👋 Arden is so adorable 🥰 Omg I confess, I had a goose cookie jar because my mom had one. With time, I came into my own style and less was definitely best for me. I also had a green carpet in the bathroom and I learned very quickly that it was a horrid idea lol 😂 what can I say we live and learn. Great video as always 😊
I still have a Beatrix Potter Mama Mouse cookie jar 😂
Yes, my (65) sister still has the 1960s rooster cookie jar that we grew up with.
Thanks for sharing and being here!
Boomer here. I never had roosters or chickens other than one smallish murano rooster. I think carpet in a bathroom was the generation before boomers. Am not big on collections other than art work ( we have Native American pottery, paintings from the Taos artists). I’ve had small collections of llardo figurines that I gave to my mother and then to my elder brother keeping two pieces that were gifts from family . Sometimes collections happen because family and friends see a couple of items in your house (husband had a couple of small rhino knickknacks -a boomer word? lol) and he received them as gifts.
Our boomer designer would agree with you 100%. She was amazing and we still have artwork and furniture from when we worked with her about 30 years ago. Heaven must be a beautiful place if she has designed it.
Wall to wall carpeting was not the generation before. That generation was using hard surface flooring particularly wood. Just look at homes built in the time frame you are speaking of, and it’s primarily hardwood and some tile. As large scale home development occurred more and more carpet and other synthetic materials become popular because they could be made quickly, more cheaply and way faster to install. I’m glad you have such wonderful feelings toward your deceased interior designer. It’s nice to hear.
@ thank you for the info. I’m sure you are correct. I was going by people I knew who put carpeting in bathrooms and they were not boomers. It’s gross no matter who puts it in😉
My furniture does not match! it may be actual wood furniture, but it’s sturdier and has better built than anything new today. I have a front room that’s Arts and Crafts, a living room that’s mid-century modern. I collected these treasures over the years. Artwork on the walls are original abstract, surrealist and pop art, and there’s midcentury ceramics and lamps. Somehow it all works.
My mother was never tied to design trends. She hung a beautiful
Madeira tablecloth on the wall, since, "I so rarely use it, at least I can enjoy its beauty." She used a Japanese Priest's stole given to my paternal grandmother for a wall hanging, had bowls of sea shells throughout the house, had a lovely patio table, wrought iron legs with glass top in the formal dining room. She had two smaller tables of the same design at the head and foot of the table. She purchased chairs in the same design. There were eight children, so the table and the smaller tables together fit us perfectly. when there were more people, at Christmas, for instance, she moved the smaller tables away from the large one, all still in the dining room, and that gave us eight extra seats. Our kitchen table was the old dining room table and used chairs of the same design as the dining room, which my mother had purchased at the time. This was in the early sixties and she pretty much kept to her own taste the rest of her life. In the sixties and seventies, hanging table cloths on walls and having bowls of sea shells was not the norm, nor was having a patio table as one's formal dining table.
At the time, most homeowners had painted their walls either white or the "color of the week." My mother painted hers soft green and kept to that for the rest of her life. It was her favorite color. She had no problem mixing modern with antique. She even had a few coffee tables that were the same design as the dining table. We had a large (but not by today's standards) house, so one didn't really notice.
The formal rooms had no draperies. They had Swiss dot sheers (in light green, of course,) and pull down blinds.
She purchased quite good prints that actually looked like they were painted, had the brush strokes and if you ran your hand over thrm, they felt like real paintings. She bought them at Murphy's Mart (anyone remember them?) It was a discount sort of store, like Woolworth's. Back then, even many inexpensive things are made well. Those pictures would only be found at expensive stores with stories of machines and computers doing wonderful work nowadays. Charge you an arm and a leg for something made by computer. No thanks. I am not saying if you want it, dont buy it, I am just saying it's not the same. She framed them in wooden frames she got at Murphy's, painted the frames, annd they were classic.
Some of my friend's mothers would redecorate every year. I thought that was crazy and still do
I am so grateful for her attitude. I have different taste than she, I am not so pared down, but her attitude allowed me to decorate as I see ft, not someone else. A group of friends came over one day and one of them had not been there before. She said, "Jeanne, I love your house, it makes me feel safe, like my grandmother's did." I take that as a compliment. I want my house to feel cozy, comfortable (but none of those awful puffy ridiculous sofas and chairs that were popularized in the seventies and have only gotten worse) and safe, like a haven.
.
Oh, and she...get ready...mixed woods!!! I think the only match thing she did was the table and chairs. The buffet was a lovely, classic one from the late forties. She never had a taste for getting new things "just 'cause." The reason for the dining table purchase was that when my father was transferred across the country, the movers did not as care as they should have. They ruined her kitchen table.
And what about those basement rooms with carpet almost halfway up the walls!
Great tips! Connection yes! We are all watching our money and worry about bills but it is so worth it to keep your home fresh. I learned this. I don’t regret any purchases and enjoy being home. My boomer friends should not have guilt about renovating their home. I think our frugal nature is part of our thinking. I would say go for it and feel years younger. 🍂🍁🌾
Thanks so much, and thank you for sharing!
I collected elephants as a kid, and now as I am older, just try to stop people from giving me elephants! I have elephant overload here. What to do? Finally told some No More Elephants!
I had planned on purchasing a low carpet for my bedroom. You are giving me the go ahead, since I wasn't quite sure about it.
If you like carpeting and want it I think it’s something to consider.
Because I live in a rental, I'm stuck with carpeting in my bedroom, otherwise pretty flooring throughout. Fortunately, I am able to pick out the one of choice, a non shag.
Well, of course, we BabyBoomers have been around longer to amass more stuff!
I grew up with wall to wall carpeting, but NOT in the bathroom (or kitchen!)
❤I love it when I’m available to get your notification!
Me too! Thanks. It helps the channel so much.
Our wall to wall carpet, back when we had it, was pretty evenly worn, as we rearranged the furniture quite often.
Ours was barely walked on. Definitely no shoes, ever.
Very smart to do that! Most people don’t.
Garrett! Another great video!!! Yay! So many memories. My parents bought my childhood home and covered every square inch of hardwood floors with wall to wall carpet. My dad insisted because he didnt want his feet to be cold! Ugh. I would have bought him slippers. Thanks Garrett.
Yay! Glad you enjoyed. Thanks!😊
At minute 1:18 in video showing the Tuscan design: I love it!!!
Uh oh!!!! This is me!!! Can't wait to see what I've been doing.
😊😊😊
This is such a great series; delivered in your one of a kind charming personality ⭐️. Just had to add , Arden looks like a beautiful stuffed animal. He’s so adorable that he doesn’t look real 🐶.
Glad you enjoyed it!🐶🐶😊😊
Oh Garrett, you've made me giggle and laugh. But you made me rip with laughter today, in your comment about kitchen themes.
You're such a cheeky cheeky fellow❤😂
Glad you enjoyed it!
Baby Boomer here! I love Cats and I have collected Cat ornaments that look like my Cats that I have had in the past. Or Cat ornaments from our trips to Switzerland, Venice and Egypt for example. 😮. I guess it’s time to Thank them for their Joy and memories they have given me and pass them on through donation for others to love. ❤. Thanks Garrett and Arden for the Joy you give me, week after week 🥰🤗🇨🇦😻😻
@@carolefreeman2544 Keep a few of them! Remember he said to keep what brings you joy? I collect ornaments too and have pared my collection down but will always have them. Best wishes 🙋🏻♀️
@ I will probably keep the ones from our trips, but the other’s well 🤷♀️
Thanks for sharing!! I’m so glad you are enjoying! Spread the word to friends and family. 😊😊😊
Subscribed!!! Love, Baby Boomer
I am 80. Colonial design was 1950 when my older sister's husband returned from Korean War That generation was traumatized by the A-bomb and decorated with maple furniture, chintz fabric, carved eagles, hobnail glassware, etc. mea culpa regarding carpeted bathroom 🙂My husband and I installed bathroom carpet when we were mid 20's 1972. Can't forget the mirror tiles I installed around our bath tub! How disgusting!
Thank you bunches, @Garrett LeChic! Always appreciate hearing your good, sensible guidance!
🙏🌿💐🌿😊💚😘🌿💐🌿🙏
You are so welcome! Thanks for your support!😊😊😊
Hi Garrett. I'm a boomer, and I decorate seasonally to freshen up my home. I'm at home 24/7 every day, and I'd go insane if I had to look at the same things every day all year long. I need change. I love the classic style. Thx so very much for your great tips. N
👍👍👍
I'm 72...I always like change. I've done the trends...except wall to wall carpet. NEVER in the bathroom. Yick.
I have a few core pieces I will always keep, but it drives me crazy to keep rooms the same forever.
Excellent presentation. Thank you.
You are welcome!
Great explanation of flow.
Glad it was helpful!
Looking good today Mr Chic!
Thank you!😊
Thank you! This was really helpful ❤
You're so welcome!
My grandma loved roosters. She was older than baby boomers. I think though. I’m 54 years old right now and I remember as a little tiny kid seeing all the roosters in her house. I also loved it because she had them out in her yard also. They were chickens everywhere.
Good Heavens! I had the geese kitchen chachka. Now I have a “coffee house” kitchen. Asking for your direct help soon.
Sounds great! I look forward to it. Check out my consultation sale in the description of my video coming out Thursday or in the last couple of videos posted. Limited time offering. 😊😊😊
😂loved this video..same issue is with my boomer parents..clutter , and every room is painted a different color
Glad you enjoyed!

Awesome! Welcome to the channel. It’s great to have you as a part of our very valued subscriber family! I post videos on Thursdays at 1pm and Sundays at 10am. Pacific Time. 😊😊😊
Collections. I had a small collection of small handmade frogs. People got wind of that collection and suddenly I was getting mariachi frogs and other weird frogs for my birthday or house gift or something like that. That was the end of my collection public view. And, in fact, pretty much stopped the collecting of anything.😇
Yes, that’s the down side of ‘collecting’ 3 or 4 appealing items (rabbits, frogs, fruit/veggies). You may never receive a birthday or Christmas gift for the rest of you life that is Not a rabbit, frog, etc. And they may be stuffed versions, oversized, cartoon versions that you wouldn’t ever buy for yourself.
Old hardwood floors had to be waxed by hand and polished. Carpets were a sign of prosperity.
It’s amazing how things change. Of course, I’m not talking about silk wall to wall or handmade for example. However, those are usually very delicate and not the best for homes that get allot of regular use for durability reasons.
youre so sweet Garrett and so is ARDEN woof woof 🐶
Thank you!😊😊🐶🐶
“… nothing wakes you up like a big c…up of coffee …” 😂😂😂
See, but, for example I had 2 beautiful sleek Alaskan native artist carved bears. And all of a sudden people got the idea that I collect bears start giving me every cheap cheesy bear themed junk they see. Even when I asked everyone not to buy me clutter.
🥺🥺🥺
Nice Tarkay collection!
Thanks!
Oh goodness, I have four elephants in my livingroom. Two are "buffies" from Viet Nam. As is Big, Ugly, "Effin" Elephants.
Whimsical ceramic frog family kitchen since the 1980's. Ethan Allen Georgian Court dining room, living room, bedroom - all with protective glass tops - since the 1980's and early 1990's. Ceramic tile bathroom and laminate kitchen/laundry room flooring. You may say I am stuck in a time warp but it is my home and my sanctuary - but I love your videos! :-)
I’m glad you are enjoying the videos and your home! As you know from watching my videos that I give my opinions but never tell people to change things if they are happy with what they have.
I'm a boomer! So funny, so true!
Glad you enjoyed!
I rented a place once that had ASTRO TURF in the kitchen. 😂😂😂
👻👻👻
Izzat adorable little dog for real?! So stinkin' cute!
Very real! He’s sweet and Arden will keep you on your toes. 🐶🎄🐶
Life has phases, accumulate, eliminate..You can't walk into my home and determine my age group....
😀🤭
We had friends with a complete Elvis-themed bathroom from the wallpaper to the light switches to every single detail, and it was a complete delight. :)
The kids are in their 50's, actually. Lol
There was carpet in the bathroom of my house when I bought it (you would not have believed the smell when it came up!), but possibly even more disgusting, I lived in a house with kitchen carpet.
🥺🥺🥺
I have been creating a four act ballet about Wedgwood,for five years!!paintings showing this are on Fine Art America,under my name ,Judith Desrosiers
👍👍👍😊😊😊
Garrett, you are so cute and funny!! From a younger Baby Boomer! 😊
Thanks!😊😊😊
I find if you love it, do it❤
Boomer here. I still have basics I bought in the '70s. Iron bed, bench, small stool, lamps, chest of drawers and baskets. Aside from the bed they've served different purposes over the years. Guilty of having too much stuff though. 😍Arden
😊😊🐶🐶
80k!!
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Regarding 3:35 and the rooster themed kitchen- agree. nothing wakes me up like a big cup of coffee and a big cock (on my wall, get your mind out of the gutter!
🤣🤣🤣
I collect Polish Pottery but I’m allowed because we all need dishes right?😂
LOL You are allowed to do what ever makes you happy and that you want to!
Of course, we had matchy, matchy. With zero time, 2 jobs, 2 babies in diapers, 2 dogs.... We dialed the phone (yes, "dialed") and said, "please ship us every item shown in today's Sunday paper - yes, the couch, loveseat, chair, coffee and end tables, lamps and area carpet." We kept that entire living room for 15 years.
I understand. I’m always busy and consult with many busy people regularly about decorating their homes, and I try to produce videos that are practical in addition to discussing trends and other aspirational and inspirational concepts as well. The main thing is what works and makes people happy in their home is paramount to me, not just what my tastes are or what I do in my home.
When I think you have stopped posting I come and revisit your channel. This is like the second time I have been unsubscribed. YT just doesn't want me to have a fabulous home😒
That’s odd. I post two videos every week usually without fail. Sundays at 10am and Thursdays at 1pm. Pacific time. Definitely make sure you have your bell notifications turned on so you get a notification when I post. Thank you so much for your support!
😊😊😊
LOL... At 3:30 , I thought you were about to say " because nothing wakes you up like a big cock 🐔 in your kitchen "! 😝 Uh huh, we saw your face, and I know we were all cracking up. 😅Boomer here, and have been pretty good about avoiding all that with nods rather than themes. Themes are boring to me. I keep only one cock near my kitchen, A mosaic tile one named after his creator, Sascha Brastoff. 😎
🤣🤣🤣
