    As an artist who's just starting out, I'm so happy you mentioned supporting local small artists! We work very hard to put ourselves out there and make a connection, and that support means so much.
    To note, however, many of us are using digital mediums to make art that is no less "handmade" than traditional mediums. Buying prints is a great way of getting art on a budget, and still directly helps the artist (you can ask about canvas prints as well if you love that look).

      I have a few numbered prints from smaller local artists. My son bought me a lovely one for Mother's Day this year to add to the others scattered about. We purchased a litho at a yard sale for $12.00 and I felt like a road show winner when I researched the artist. I would rather have a bare wall than a mass produced picture.

I know I do!🥰 We love having vintage furnishings next to our more modern sectional. We have my husband's Grandfather clock & a small wooden table that he made himself years ago. I started finding vintage art pieces in my forties that just spoke to me & have curated theses pieces. Also glad you brought up the runner, I love that look! Until next time, hugs xx

    I'm no big fan of contemporary art or paintings. But I found the perfect middle ground between traditional and graphic art: antique prints/ lithographs/ etchings. Most are affordable, there is a handmade and historical aspect to the printing process and the variety of topics is huge (e.g. fauna, flora, architectural and landscape views, maps etc). Unfortunately, the artist is no longer alive but their art is still appreciated - some of my favourite antique pieces ❤

      Yes please! The previous owners of my home didn't believe in moldings. There are some skimpy quarter rounds, but no baseboards at all, let alone crown moldings. Would love to know what size and profile works for different styles and ceiling heights.
      I also have fake beams in my living room. They're stained dark brown against a white ceiling. I think they may hold up the ceiling, so I'm not sure I can remove them. Painting them white is a no brainer, but I'm wondering if it would look nice if I added molding on either side so they look less rectangular.

    Thank you Garrett from all of us artists that are struggling to get our art pieces out there. So many people these days think they can't afford an original piece and purchase the basic mass produced knock offs. I know personally how hard it is to get my pieces seen, little own get pieces sold. There is truth to the "starving artist" quote. Although people need to realise unless an art piece is made by the top 1% of artists, it won't be that expensive.

    The cheapest thing that absolutely looks expensive is a vintage (or possibly even antique) Chinese carved stacked box, it was actually free - we found it decades ago on the side of the street on trash day. It’s beautiful, with patterned rattan weaving, carved wood and brass handle. I’m still looking for a specialist to tell me more about it, but I love it and it’s definitely a conversation starter.

    Love this video! I was kind of broke for a long time so I can check the box on most of these, lol. Plus you just gave me a couple of great ideas, thank you! Love this channel, absolutely one of my faves, and definitely my fave design channel. Lots of love to the pups too! ♥️♥️♥️
    My thing is to get the plants out of those plastic pots! Or at least hide them inside a nicer cache pot. Plastic plant pots are my wire hangers!Ceramic ones are expensive right now (I've spent years collecting them one or two at a time) but there are so many other options like metal, wicker, terra cotta, wood, even DIY concrete. Any water tight vessel has potential, and you can still put a protective saucer inside the ones that aren't. l.'ve even turned really nice waste baskets into cache pots! Also the stoneware pots in the outdoor section of the garden center are usually a lot cheaper than the indoor ones. 😊 It just brings houseplants up a level to have them in an attractive, non-plastic container, and it can be done so cheaply if you're creative.

    I found a really old rattan picnic basket with the wooden handle...what a score it was at an outdoor flea market and it's just so beautiful. I paid 9 dollars for it. It was just dusty, once I cleaned it up and put it on the lower shelf (where a large basket would go) I fell in love with it even more. I receive so many compliments on it. BTW those drink tables are not cheap! lol I love your art choices; you have a lovely home! Love your vids :) Happy Holidays to you and yours.

    I bought an amazing Brutalist travertine dining table (seats 8-12) that had originally been custom made by the architect of an estate in the Midwest for $600 plus the cost to move it (less than $500). I know that sounds expensive but comparable pieces go for over 10k without the historical pedigree my table has!

    Garrett, this is a great video and love all of the ideas! Thank you for supporting artists. My daughter graduates in December with a BA in digital art. We have 2 framed pictures that were chosen to be in a school exhibition, and we plan on hanging them in the playroom that we are changing over to a game/movie room. We have art that my husband’s grandfather painted in our traditional dining room. Take care!

    Hi Garrett, I am soooo pleased, I get to tick all the boxes on today’s video, even the wall mouldings which someone suggested you talk about, which you didn’t today, Although you did actually touch on it in a previous video. Infact from that video I picked up a really good suggestion you made and put it to use. Thank you, I adore your videos and your humour !

    I've just discovered your channel and love it (and subscribed). Your advice is so practical as well as being creative. I renovated my home a couple of years ago and had a problem finding side tables suitable for our very small lounge room. Then I found the perfect solution - stools. In a local designer furniture shop I found 2 beautiful solid wood stools in different heights on super special because they were the last in stock. Both are the right height for reading lamps and large enough for a cup of coffee and a book or small ornament as well. Perfect for a small space against a wall next to our sofa and occasional chairs, without looking cheap.

    Hello Garrett! I am a new subscriber and so happy to join the “LeChic Family!” My name is Roz, and I am watching as much of your content as possible as I am helping my son design his apartment in a wondrous historic home. Do you have any suggestions for working with the slanted walls created by multiples of gabled windows? They are beautiful on the outside…but consume valuable square footage inside. Thank you for your marvelous, fun and thoughtful videos! 💗💗💗

    Hi Gerrit, thank you for the videos. I think you are really inspiring especially the support the small and local business part. I love and adore the ideas. What I plan to do is to invest in some beautiful natural material photo frames that work for my house. Then I let my daughter ( 9-year-old who aims to grow into an artist) draw artwork to fit the frames. It's going to be a long-term project but sounds fun to me.

    Hi Garrett, Just recently discovered your channel and of course subscribed and am binge watching all of your videos! Such brilliant advice and information! You are so creative and passionate, you're an absolute pleasure to watch! Thank you for making all of these wonderful videos, I'm watching while painting and it's very inspiring! I'm in the middle of doing a church conversion into my home, it's been extremely hard and stressful work, but I know it will be worth the slog, as I love the uniqueness these old characterful buildings provide. I'm currently doing alot of decorating and I love all things quirky and unusual, old furniture, detail etc. Watching your videos is so inspiring and gives me confidence that my (perhaps) unusual taste in decor is OK, as it's what I love and am passonate about so why the heck not! You start to question yourself and think am I doing things a bit OTT, but then I think no it's my house, I'm not doing it to please guests etc! I love it how you constantly say "do you"! It's very true and inspiring. Thank you for sharing your never ending mountains of knowldge with us all, much appreciated. Big hugs xx🙂🌸

It looks absolutely stunning with my burnout Damask in coffee shades. Total investment 90 dollars. Thanks for all you do for us.
