I love Arvin's videos. My taste and style are nothing at all like his, but his rooms are beautiful. Placement, balance, texture, the harmony and contrast, it's all so pleasing to the eye. There is a lot to look at, and I like his use of blank space. Talent as opposed to trendy. And of course, he's fun!
I love that you are taking your time to curate your space instead of just buying items to fill the space for a video. It's more realistic and how we should be styling our homes. The intention behind each piece is very inspiring, keep it up, love your content!
I love how your gallery wall came together so beautifully.The Navajo sand painting is such a special find-they are typically used in ceremonies but often destroyed afterwards. My husband and I used to live/work on the Navajo and Hopi reservations where we learned a great deal about their art and culture; truly magical experiences.
I love how you show the trial and error process. I get frustrated with myself when I can’t figure out the best way to lay out art on the wall and to see that you also had to play around with it until you found something that worked was really reassuring!
I didn't like some of the pieces individually, but together there was such a synergy. The earth tones offset by the crisp white walls was really balanced and the room felt warm and inviting. Great job!
In the beginning I was like this won’t work, but then WOW everything looked amazing. I think the floral arrangement and the tree really made the space more beautiful.
This was a great makeover. I have an extremely similar light fixture above my dining room table. Mine has a walnut base near the cord, so black with walnut accent but extremely similar. I love pendants like this is a dinning room. It directs the light downward onto the table while keeping the rest of the room dim/moody. It makes for a more intimate dinning experience. Lovely.
I love how you speak of a living, ever-changing design. So many people feel the need to buy everything at one and have a "finished" home, often settling for something they don't love because they couldn't get the right thing at the time. You may have a finished space quicker, but you waste a lot of money and create a lot of waste.
i love almost everything here, especially the gallery wall/art/objects, the chairs (all 4 of them), and that pottery jar with the floral arrangement is striking. very nice start in this room.
Arvin, you have SUPERB taste in clothing and accessories, plus your immaculate grooming! Every episode i watch has me glued to every detail of your appearance. SO perfect! Such a treat!
I so enjoy your videos and your giggle makes me smile now just as much as it did a year and a half ago when I first started watching you. I’ve watched your taste and style evolve and especially like how you used what you had and made it work instead of just buying something to fill a space. Those dining chairs are beautiful. Keep up the good work!
I have been a Benjamin Moore girl for years. It is the only interior paint that I will use. My local store is great; they have the most knowledgeable and friendly staff. You will never regret using Benjamin Moore paint.
I love Benjamin Moore paint. If you love the color you chose you never have to paint again, it's so durable. The chairs and the gallery area are beautiful. It was fun to see how you pulled the room together!
Hi Arvin! I absolutely understand the obsession with unique/cute little chairs. I cannot pass by a cute chair without wanting to bring it home. My hubby always tells me I have an auction to chairs and lamps!
I love your attention to detail, the layering of textures and patterns, the color play with the marrying of colors that are complementary and the layering of colors in the same color family, how you have our eyes follow interesting things on different levels as well as lighting of interest, and how it is an efficient use of space and not cluttered but not a lot of open and boring space either. It is eclectic blending vintage and modern, balanced, and just right. It doesn't feel like a cold magazine cover, but an actual home that is inviting.
That chair is PERFECT. You can even drape the seat with a narrow, cool fabric print if you change up any colors in your room. Or rest a triangular pillow against it on the floor to add texture. God, that tree is amazing there! Watching your process is too much fun for one day.
I believe that this is my favorite video that you have made, Arvin. I loved the gallery wall, the tree, the floral moment, the chairs, the mirror, absolutely everything! I could see myself sitting at the table simply enjoying my coffee and a little conversation. Thanks for sharing this with us. I so look forward to your videos!
Arvin, I think this is my favorite makeover you've done! I love, love, love your dining chairs and the artwork is spot on! I have been watching you for a couple of years and I love how your aesthetic is evolving. Thanks for inspiring me!
Arvin, you a breath of fresh air and you always bring a smile and laughter into my day. With so much awfulness happening in our world today, your videos really do bring me into another happy world and I can forget and ignore that gloomy other one. Thanks for being you!
I absolutely love your style! What a beautiful makeover. And totally loved that you didn’t buy anything for the sake of buying things. These rooms should organically evolve with us and not everything needs to be done right away. Anyway, wonderful video as always ❤️
That chair is everything! The table does blend well with 3 chairs only. An odd setting, but I love that you and Andrew don’t entertain so it’s perfect for your situation. 4 would be uncomfortable with that table leg. Love your modern organic vibe.
I think the room really popped when you put the tree in front of the window, instead of a curtain or shade. I thought it was very nice of you to share the artist name on the paintings. Love the wood table. Thanks sharing with us and may you have a Blessed day.
I wasn't really feeling the little chair but as soon as you put the mirror on the wall I said yeah that works. I love the pop of red, Arvin. Separately you might not think the pieces would go together, but you just allowed the area to evolve. I enjoy that about the way you decorate a space. Great job! I love it.
Love, love Benjamin Moore paint, it cost more but if you want a flawless finish, easy to clean walls especially if you have kids, pets, large family it’s perfect. The space looks fabulous
That floral arrangement just added the perfect finishing touch. She's the star of the production. Bam. That gallery wall is warm and interesting and keeps the room from looking sterile. Great job.
Love it! And I love that you accessorized with a mixture of what you already had and what you could find secondhand. Finding art pieces that have a story and previous life always brings even more beauty to a room. Thanks for sharing as always.
I have always loved Benjamin Moore. I’m a person who cannot throw something out: very, very little for the garbage collection. I have stored a 3/4 gallon of Benjamin Moore for 15 years and touched up a wall with it recently. It still kept its original color, texture and matched the existing wall color perfectly. I am a person who has painted hundreds of walls and used many paint brands. Benjamin Moore is great paint.
Arvin i absolutely loved the way the picture gallery turned out. I was skeptical about hanging some so low.... but love it!!!! I may do the same. You're Wonderful!
I just love this! Everything looks so good! I can be having the worst day & I watch one of your videos & i'm instantly happy again! I love your laugh. I feel like if I lived close to you, we would be out traipsing around antique malls & homegoods laughing and carrying on lol
Missed this site of you. Yes I like your new antique style. The floors are awesame and please entertain more. You totaly deserve it. The paintings are a great find. Please go thrifting as well. You cant imagine how many valuable staff you can find in reasonable prices. The dining table is a dream and the chairs. ❤❤❤❤❤👏👏👏👏👏👏
Such a taste and vision Arvin. Congrats. Your videos help a lot. The most important thing is to make our living spaces look special and personal, reflect our personality and our perception of life. Thanks a lot for punctuating this fact in every video. Actually I have many pieces from Ikea but nobody really notice, because they are part of a whole picture :) Thanks again. :)
Arvin, I found you yesterday whilest looking for a sofa. You’re so witty and I love listening to your point of view. This video by far made me so happy and I’m even more so looking forward to decorating my freshly painted two bedroom apartment. Keep up the good work. ♥️
Love your dining room. The round checkerboard vase looks beautiful with the floral arrangement. The checkered blanket detail completes the feeling of "come and set a spell". Love your style!
I have used BM Simply White in my condo too! I used the Aura line. Expensive but it is the most eco friendly paint out there. We recently had the unit re piped and the drywall areas that had to be repainted matched perfectly, even after 6 years! The stuff goes on in one coat. Can't say enough good things about it. Plus they have it for bath rooms that is a matte finish. It has held up beautifully. I don't care for shiny walls.
Creating spaces always sets the mood for the room, you're going to have to eat imaginative and colourful foods in that dining room. What a fabulous space to have morning coffee or macha, an evening meal with moody lighting and favorite dishes, really wonderful !!!
I love how you said about the one picture being made in 1975! *GASP* Then again, I guess that IS almost 50 yrs ago, hard to believe! What a fun virtual trip, going to the antique mall w you. You picked out some really cool things!
Fab makeover!!! Love that you are bringing in things that invoke childhood memories. I am currently cleaning out storage units, and have determined to use that as a criteria of what to keep. Thank you for your great perspective and vision.
Oh Arvin, I am really feeling what you done for your dining room! You really do have impeccable taste! That dining table is stunning and the different textures and colors you used are “muah” chef’s kiss 💋 I’m loving it!!!
Arvin, I‘m from germany and I love watching your videos so much. You‘re speaking a super englisch with a very warm voice that is easy to understand. Your diningroom is wonderful and so sophisticated, it fits perfectly to your nice clothes and your sweet dog, the germans call „Mops“. Many greetings from Düsseldorf
Love seeing your thought process and how you worked through different obstacles, like the gallery wall. Everything came together beautifully! I am glad you switched it up with the dining chairs as it tied the vase and blanket but in textured form. So smart! Also they say it's great to design a dining room with a mirror as it reflects your bounty at the table. It's a good omen. And lastly love your black olive tree! How has it held up? Hoping it is easy to take care of. It's quickly replacing all the fiddle leaf fig trees out there and it's just so pretty!
Omg I love it! This is why I always look forward to your videos. I love how you mix the old with the new! It creates such great flow in your home and adds so much character. Thank you for sharing 😍
Arvin, I love the result of your dining room makeover. You are so talented. The dining chairs are my favourite pieces. I have watched every one of your videos. I am decorating my new house at the moment and your techniques and thought processes have helped me a lot. Thank you.

This made my day thank you!!!
I feel the same way! My style is prbly opposite of his but I learn so much from him that can be used with any style. And yes he is a hoot!
don't hate me....luv you
Love the entire finish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Arvin u totally changed my perception of interior design, u r simply awesome.
So nice of you to honor the artist and its owners. That says a lot about you.
He didnt say the name of the artist

Arvin, you are absolutely adorable! Please keep being you. 🙌🏼
Oh, how I love some Arvin. 😍🙌🏿
The same as any project you undertake; Stunning!! You have impeccable taste in decor and fashion.
i love almost everything here, especially the gallery wall/art/objects, the chairs (all 4 of them), and that pottery jar with the floral arrangement is striking. very nice start in this room.
Arvin, love the dining room. So perfect. My favorite part was the last minute addition of the red branch. Sets off the whole room. Brilliant.
Those final touches brought the room to life. Weird how a couple things can do that. ( The plant and vase)
Right!
Arvin, you have SUPERB taste in clothing and accessories, plus your immaculate grooming! Every episode i watch has me glued to every detail of your appearance. SO perfect! Such a treat!
As soon as you placed the little chair against the wall, I smiled and knew the end result was going to be wonderfully curated space! And it it!
I was saying “noooooo” when I saw the first glimpse of the florals. However, in the reveal it was perfection!
I love your energy! Your laugh and smile are infectious haha
I so enjoy your videos and your giggle makes me smile now just as much as it did a year and a half ago when I first started watching you.

I like that tropical plant the dinning room is beautiful but you always can pull a room together.
I have been a Benjamin Moore girl for years. It is the only interior paint that I will use. My local store is great; they have the most knowledgeable and friendly staff. You will never regret using Benjamin Moore paint.

I love that vase with the orange plant! And the tree together!
You never fail, Arvin! It’s amazing to see how you maneuver in your decisions on what ‘feels’ right. 🥰 it!
Thanks Arvin for taking us along and schooling us in your design thought process. You've given me some new ideas for my own space...
Beautiful chairs, love the details. Love that red plants too.
That chair is everything! The table does blend well with 3 chairs only. An odd setting, but I love that you and Andrew don’t entertain so it’s perfect for your situation. 4 would be uncomfortable with that table leg. Love your modern organic vibe.

They have awesome pieces in that booth
Love it! And I love that you accessorized with a mixture of what you already had and what you could find secondhand. Finding art pieces that have a story and previous life always brings even more beauty to a room. Thanks for sharing as always.

Great job on your dinning room. You nailed the gallery art nook. Perfect choice of chairs for the table. So Inviting!!!!!
Wow that touch of red from the flowers. Strikingly beautiful 😍

Loved it… I like these dinning chairs better than the previous.. can’t wait to see the living room makeover.
The sand painting you found depicts Katchinas , spiritual figures for Southwestern Native Americans typically for Pueblo and Hopi people. Great find !
I love your new decoration your voice is very sweet ❤
Good choice for the dining chairs. Looks more comfortable too!
I think so too
Just love you, love the interesting pieces you choose! They go marvelously together. Never miss your videos! Be well!
The gallery wall is just precious and the chairs are so perfect. I love how good they look with the special antique chair.
Oh. And I think you should pick up the tiger and horse pictures. You might use them somewhere.
I think it turned out so good. I love the little gallery wall. This space is perfect for your videos.
Wow! I really love your choices and the flowers make it so beautiful. This has me wanting to be more thoughtful with my choices!

I love the mix of vintage and modern.

You did a fabulous job on this room. It’s very beautiful and cozy. I love the pop of color from the orange/red plant in that light creamy vase. 😊
Hello !! Love the way everything came together ! Beautiful dinning chairs !! ❤❤❤
Fab makeover!!! Love that you are bringing in things that invoke childhood memories. I am currently cleaning out storage units, and have determined to use that as a criteria of what to keep. Thank you for your great perspective and vision.
Love the checkered vase and the tropical plant! Great job…again!
The dining room is divine!!!
That’s a gorgeous dining room. It should be in a magazine.
I love the way you make this look so effortless!! So much effort went into it. For me it's the patience to find the right artwork.

I like these warm earthy tones, flows well.
I don't like checkerboard. I love that red tropical floral.
Bravo!! Looks fabulous…love the orange pop in your arrangement. Nobody ask but may I say your skin care has your face 🤌🏼 flawless.
I’m so happy I found a store in alabang where they sell Benjamin Moore paints 🤩 got October mist for my accent wall and I love it!
Short and sweet : You are AMAZING Arvin 👏
Omg I love it! This is why I always look forward to your videos. I love how you mix the old with the new! It creates such great flow in your home and adds so much character. Thank you for sharing 😍
Everything just flows, turned out so beautiful!!!
Love your refreshing modern style …. the colors balance in harmony with wood tones …..ahhhhh looks so good 😊
The dining table is exquisite.
