Nobody asked, but the weather today is gorgeous in the Tennessee Valley.😊
I am so glad you are being honest with your RUclips followers so many people make moving to a home the best thing ever without anything possibly going wrong. This is exactly why you are so popular with so many of us. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us.
Agree ❤
We just bought an older home and I have lots of work ahead of me. Ppl before us tried to do some work on their own and it wasn't done well. I will be doing so much over the winter....
@@lisamoyer4999 Same experience. 😊
💯💯💯
You won’t regret getting that glass replaced eventually. We just forked out $14,000 for a new air conditioner. Ugh! It’s always something. Your home is beautiful and looks like it has great bones.
Don't change that glass...it will take away your ambience...add roll up and down blinds. Glass will get hot no matter what you do...add more 🌿 plants. Ac it's never efficient in a eichler home because all the glass around...you have to improve the insulation over the roof...these homes have little or no insulation!
@@davidbetancourt1482 if they change it to double panel energy efficient it will not be heating up their home, it will lower their bill. There is no difference in the look.
@@davidbetancourt1482 Gotta have double glazing or you'll pay a fortune in heating!
Arvin I gotta say, I'm really loving these more relaxed, lifestyle type videos recently. Just seeing you live your life, finding the beautiful things you do, it's refreshing and entertaining. Thank you!
Don't be discouraged. Every older home has its moments where you question the investment. However, with time and patience things often work out. Take one step at a time.❤
I’m sure you know this, Arvin, but whatever you do PLEASE don’t rush into finishing your home. As you said, it will be a long process. Expect to pay at least twice for the “unexpected”. I love your babies Sage and Marble. I hope Sage is settling in. Maybe it was the heat that got him down. 😢.
Yessssss ! Fan girling over Andrew joining more often. Such a vital roll in this dynamic duo,I love to see it thrive ! 💛🥂
Yayyy
Yessss they should do more videos together 😍😍
I think it would really help to line the borders of the small patio with plants and eventually turn it into a garden to prevent the heat from bouncing back into the house. Plus it would look really cute!
In general the weather is incredible in SoCal. I wouldn't spend the money on new glass, go with the 3M tint and seasonal window coverings for the rough weeks!
Tint will be a game changer! And it comes in such translucent shades now!
I was thinking the same thing! Take the kids and go to a hotel for a few days….
We did this on half our house and saving to do the next half. Such a difference!
Your parents are gorgeous! You have to go antique shopping in Orange in the circle. They have store after store after store of antiques. You could spend an entire day there looking at all the stores.
Yes! Great reccomendation!
Your parents are beautiful...you're blessed to have them and their love🧡
Y'all chose the most beautiful home!! It's the dream!! Even if it is a bit more to maintain this home, you're making sure that this architectural work of art will be around for generations to come!! 💕
We feel very lucky to be the next caretakers of this home :)
U are who u are because of your wonderful parents. Loving, accepting, kind, etc. I too will miss your shopping with your momma.
I used to sell windows for a remodeling company and I can say 100% you are going to sink soooo much money if you replace all those windows. Definitely seek other options first, if you can. But do not doubt your beautiful purchase, it is a magnificent home. I haven't stopped looking at Eichler's ever since you posted your video.
3M makes a heat rejecting tint/film that you can put on the glass. It can be colored or clear.
I have it for my electric car to keep car cool and conserve battery life but they can also do it for commercial/residential spaces. Was thinking of doing it for my house. Bonus: UV protection for the skin 💅🏼
We might try that. Just not sure because we don't want to tint the glass lol
@@ArvinOlano There should be a clear option :)
I was about to suggest the same thing.UV blocking films first! Double pane would not stop the UV coming through and heating up the house. There are glasses that are made to filter those rays but replacing all the glasses would be too costly! And get the filing professionally done.
others have mentioned. an insulating film. perhaps applying inside might reflect better...i dunno, but i am sure there is a solution.
contact NASA !
@@ArvinOlano they have a clear option that I put on my front windshield because you can’t have colored tint on there by law. It blocks 70% of the heat and 99% of UV rays. It’s not regular tint, it’s a special heat/UV rejecting film. Something to think about to also protect your furniture as well, even if you decide to replace the glass eventually, a feature to look out for. ❤
You are so blessed to have loving and supportive parents!!! Your home is a dream it will become what you envision it will just take time!!! A constant work in progress.
This was enjoyable. Loved watching you just do your day, mess and all because we get to watch the transformation of the new house unfold. Beautiful home. I would love to own it.
Thank you for taking us along on this journey and I look forward to future videos as you make this house your home. There will be ups and downs and surprises as you go along, but that is part of the journey. P.S. Arvin, your parents are just too adorable!
Real estate always has MAJOR decisions especially when buying a WONDERFULLY authentic home such as yours. It is BEAUTIFUL, and I know you guys will make the right decisions. Hell, keep it like it is for the time being, but I understand your concerns. I'm so happy for you, but also just a "tad" jealous. I LOVE MCM homes, and you have a gem on your hands. Congrats!
OH, I forgot to mention that I want to move in. I'm used to high temps being from Texas. LOVE LOVE LOVE your place :)
Look at it this way: this is your dream home & forever home! The worst you can do is rush any renovations or projects. For our nearly 100 year old house, we shift our projects between "not pretty" to "pretty" lol Either way, you're building your home together & it'll turn out incredible!
Agreed, once you do something drastic there's no going back, so you better be darn sure before you commit to changing something
When we were shopping for a house, we saw flip after flip that was lipstick on a pig. If I have to change the cabinets, I want a newish water heater, well-kept furnace, no rotting wood, etc. I don't care if there are ugly vanities. Vanities are much cheaper than water heaters or, in my case, an entirely new electric panel.
@@janicelindegard6615 So true!!! When my husband and I were looking for a new home, we saw so many remodels/flips that we had intention of doing over, wishing that the seller hadn't done anything, but instead just sold it as without the price increase.
Your channel is hands-down the best interior design/lifestyle series. So relatable, authentic, funny, stylish, and feel-good vibes. Can’t wait to see what’s to come! (And will be telling all my friends to follow you!)
Your house is so beautiful and very Hollywood glam. I love how you can play with all of the rooms in your home and it doesn’t have to be a two story home. Congratulations on your new forever home
We live in a house that is all windows in Saskatchewan Canada. We had a hot summer as well and this was our first one in our new house. The windows are triple paned and insulated and I can tell you there were a few days we wondered if we had made a wrong decision as well. We have since installed blackout thermal insulating curtains and we chase the sun as I can’t bare to have all of the windows covered all day. We figured out which ones need to be closed at different times of the day and it made all the difference!! I am a total sun lover and hate to close even one window through the day but it made the hot summer livable and now we are back to wide open windows again. Hope you make it through the heat and continue to love your amazing new home quirks and all!
This home is a masterpiece and suits you well. Just remodel step by step. 💙💛💙💛
I can only imagine how the hot weather is stressing out those two Frenchies;-(( No wonder Sage is lying on the air vent. I am from LA originally, but those temperatures are extreme even for there in September. The place is going to be so gorgeous!
hmm, they used to live in Vegas, that was worse heat. 😶
*finds measuring tape* “This is really pretty!” 😅😅 you guys got this! Temporary bump in the road, all good ❤❤
It was at that point that I wondered if Andrew sent him to get the measuring tape as “busy work” while he went and got the air conditioner 😂. Although I’m not adverse to choosing the pretty tool as well.
@@jennifergraham3752 😂😂😂
Anak- I love seeing your parents. They did an amazing job raising you. I can see they Love and treasure you. Like any filipino parent we just want to see our kids HAPPY, healthy and successful.
Extra kudos to Andrew for coming on the vlog he is adorable. Thank You Andrew for your generosity and love for Arvin. Love love love Anaks. Hugs, Tita Crisy ❤
I have never seen anyone shop for a tape measure by color - cracked me absolutely up!!!!! HAHAHA! You are the best, Arvin. 😂 Love your crossbody. I have a handbag that color. I wondered about all the glass. Lovely but, yes, the heat. Perhaps you could have it tinted light amber, etc.
Lmao!!! Leave it to me to make my measuring tape nice l. And thank u
I just thought the same thing. Love it.
I'm so glad to hear you say you are transitioning the channel to a more lifestyle channel! I love your decorating tips and style, but it's just as fun when you show your real side and more of the everyday stuff. I love you and your mom's relationship, both your parents seem so sweet. I also just bought a house and I'm in the same situation. Nothing I brought over seems to fit right in my new home. I'm now just living in it and feeling it out. Getting acquainted before I go shopping. A frustrating situation for impatient people like myself, but it'll be worth it! I'm in AZ and also experiencing an unwanted heat wave. Stay hydrated, all the best!
“Real-life scenarios” have me hooked! Thanks Arvin! Congratulations on this beautiful home for your family 🥰
Love the direction you are going with your channel especially including Andrew! It has been such a HOT summer and fall this year here in Texas and sounds like you guys are getting the same weather too. Moving is hard...hang in there. It will be an awesome journey. Enjoy the process. It takes as long as it takes ❤️
Just a thought....have your windows professionally tinted. I have a very large two story home I purchased in 2009..I had the windows in every room tinted. It has kept my home 20 degrees cooler in Summer and very comfortable in Cali winters
Arvin, thanks so much for this video while things are so chaotic for you. I appreciate it so very much and love watching. I’m going through a very stressful time with my health right now and watching you and Andrew navigate stressful situations and taking it all in stride gives me strength and helps me to keep a positive attitude.
Gorgeous, perfect home, I hope to see more of it!
Arvin, it takes some time to decorate a house, so, be patient and do the right thing, 😊😊😊, you gonna get there, dont rush it. The house is beautiful, BTW. Good luck, 😘🙏🏻.
Thanks for bringing us along on your new home journey. SO excited for you! It’s gonna be so fun watching how beautiful you make it. Also… your parents are adorable! ☺️
The heatwave was just about a week here in LA/ the valley Arvin most of the summer did not feel bad at all! It’s not always like that. The heat was unbearable everywhere sounds like 3M film as someone else commented is the most cost effective option for your home and on the plus side you will keep the original windows.
We loooovvvvee youuu Arvin!!
And your mom is too sweet 💞
Congratulations! I can't wait to see what you do with the place!
So excited for your new journey!! I’m here for it!! 😢😊
I am going to enjoy watching you and Andrew in your new home. There are always surprizes when you move into a house. And the fun parts; furnishing it. I'm so happy for Sage and Marble in thier new digs. They have a yard of their own now! Thanks for taking us along!
Sage is such a smart boy laying on the vent to cool off. 🥰 also, I could not stop staring at the two chairs in front of the mirror, they are soooo gorgeous.
Beautiful new house. And love seeing you shopping with the boys Mr.Marble and Sage.
So excited for your new journey!
Put heat film on the windows. Try Gila heat film at home depot, lowes, or amazon. It helps more than you think. Also, if you don’t have AC, put it in. (I see you do; have it serviced and make sure it’s working correctly). You don’t want to replace the windows unless you have to (i.e., they leak and are damaging the structure.). You can buy just glass, but then you’ll have to pay someone to install it- the big sheets are huge and heavy. But, if you want to try just the glass, that may be possible depending on how much space you have for thicker panes.
Do not put in incandescent bulbs; the heat rolling off them is unbearable in an already hot house. Get 3000k bulbs with 90+ CRI (if you are getting leds). Do not touch the plastic base on leds if the bulb has recently been used. Those are heat sinks and get very hot.
Lol. I live at Lowes and Home Depot since we bought a fixer ten years ago. You will get used to it. I’m looking forward to seeing more of Andrew and you are getting on in the new house. 😊
Ok good to know lmao
@@ArvinOlano My daughter actually thought that bringing me shopping at Home Depot for Mother's Day was a great idea. I was like, "What???" Her reply, "But Mom, you're always there."
You made the right decision. Many people can only dream of owning an Eichler (including me) and it's YOURS. It will be gorgeous and you will be so happy when you get through it. We will be here for you!
THANK YOU. Some people don’t understand it and leaving the most annoying comments 😂
U are such a sweetheart Arvin. Just kind.
Number 1 expense of an older home; replacing windows. I have also replaced insulation; like literally stripped all drywall and reinsulated. If roof is shallow; no new hvac ducks unless taking roof drywall out. These are all the things I say when hubby is resistant to a new construction purchase. I didn’t even get to plumbing and tree roots.🥺
Congratulations on your beautiful home. Enjoy many years of health, happiness and love there. You are so fortunate to have your Mom and Dad. They are so cute. Cherish the time.😇❤
It’s a beautiful home , so know it will be fabulous when you get through with it .
Love the transition to a more lifestyle format. I can't wait to see your house transformation. The boys were so cute walking around Crate and Barrel.
Just like almost every house in LA, yours is gorgeously inconvenient too 😅 Love it!
Ok that’s good to know 😂😂😂😂
Maybe too late for this summer but next summer look into buying cooling pads for the two boys. They are a gel filled pad that helps keep their body temperature down in the heat. They come in sizes for all dogs. They are available on Amazon and at places that sell pet supplies. They are very affordable and well worth it!
Your mom and dad are the cutest!
You will have fun shopping and making things special. It took us five years, but it was worth. Yes we would enjoy seeing more of Andrew.
Aww Arvin you will be alright! Count your blessings 😊 you have a beautiful home and worse case scenario you are back in the market. Everything happens for a reason and there is nothing wrong with changing your mind.
Don't worry take your time we are here on the journey with you both. Everything will work out well in the end 😀
I am very much looking forward to what you guys settle with for decor. You are a real inspiration.
I think you both chose the perfect home. You will decorate it so beautifully. You will find perfect pieces for it. It is a bit overwhelming at first but I know that you will make so many amazing memories in your new home.😘
Love love love your house! It is the most exciting albeit stressful time when you first move in.
We have worked every weekend for 6 years on our house and it is worth every moment.
Stay strong & I really live your house just as is. The lines are fabulous. x
I love your new home! I can't wait to see it's many transformations and challenges. Teaching moments will help you threw out your career as a designer as well. Your parents are so adorable, love their appearances. And the Pups are such cutties. Many blessings on You and Andrews home journey. 😊🥰
An ugly temporary solution? Maybe... haha. Put some curtains up. Or some kind of shade over the window area above the house maybe? 🤷♀️🙂
You just need to talk to mom and dad.
You know they help keep you grounded and serine.
The calm of true love.
You and Andrew are more than a force.
You guys will be great!☺️
I love watching you (always, but especially) in this lifestyle type vlog! Yay for Andrew making cameos in the video! One day at a time; you have a lifetime ahead to make it home and perfect for you both. Congrats on your new home!
Don't worry about anything - it'll all come together and you will find ways to survive the heat until it passes and you can replace your windows. That place is going to be so interesting to decorate. It's like half the appeal of each room will be what your eye falls on in the room opposite the atrium. I can see some unique floor lamps to light the furniture and large art pieces at night and big plants so you get a really intriguing view from the other rooms. I almost want to say that the shapes and placement of your furniture are going to matter the most. Anyway, you'll knock it out of the park!
We bought a brand new home 30yrs ago and have slowly changed everything ever since. Don’t get me started on the landscaping and the pool. It’s a never ending process. Sorry for the bad news, but your home looks beautiful. Enjoy it.
I too live in a mid century modern home and all the glass definitely makes the house unbearable when it’s really hot out. I had to install air-conditioning. It was the only way to make it through the heat of summer.
So happy that you found your beautiful home! Having grown up in Sherman Oaks (in a mid-century home), yes, we have had an incredible heat wave, but I can assure you it will get better! Our fall and winter seasons are generally mild. You may want to consider (at least a temporary fix) getting a tinted film for your large glass walls. They come in a variety of tints to help keep the heat out. Hope I run into you one day as I am out and about! Welcome to Los Angeles!
Looking forward to the day to day family lifestyle videos! Such extreme temps this summer have been miserable everywhere 😩 wishing you the best in your beautiful home!🥰🙏🙏🙏🐾🐾
Can´t wait to follow you along on your Journey. Love from Sweden.
I love this content, we get to see the real journey it is to move and to decorate a new home from the start. That house is a dream, Arvin. Thank you for sharing with us and I hope it get a bit cooler there, I am sweating just from watching 😅
You've got this! 😻
Ugggh feel bad for you in that heat :( But your parents...aww..adorable...they are just rays of sunshine.
Beautiful home blessings on you both and the babies please be careful with the babies outside remember that California has coyotes and hawks and huge owls your dogs are small and can get scooped up
So happy to see Andrew and then your parents! Seem like VERY nice people. Happy for you!
Yay! More Andrew. Love to see the journey of making this house a beautiful home.
Lol@ the dog on the vent. Years ago, I had a cat who had been a stray. She would lay on the vents in warm weather as well. She'd give my other two cats a look that said 'I'm an indoor cat now. Shut up. Go away.'
Arvin's videos are gonna be so much fun as he works on the new house. I'm decorating vicariously. 😁
Congratulations you two 🎉 I grew up in a eichler house in Northern California. Your designer house is a beautiful investment.I am so happy your going to make your upgrades to stay true to the vision of eichler. 🙏❤️
Love you guys. And your pups. Thanks for another amazing vid. ❤ Congrats again on your new home. x
Louvered roller blinds!!! You can get them with a remote control, bring them down during the day to lower heat gain in the summer months! I hope this is helpful! A lot less expensive than all new windows for now!
You can keep the existing windows and get the second pane of glass added. Here is New Zealand it's common to do that, as you pointed out to get new double glazed windows is very costly. Adding the second pane is about a third of the price
Excited to see more of your life, thanks for sharing 😊
Slow and steady wins the race, how exciting for you both, oxo
Hey Arvin. Love that you’re vlogging all of this experience of buying and furnishing a new home with all the struggles along with it. For the glass, try looking into tinting them. I have a home with a lot of really big windows and tinting them really help cool down the house. They have mirror tints which prevent a lot of the heat from coming in yet still allow you to see outside and enjoy all the windows. It’s a lot cheaper than replacing huge custom glass. Good luck and keep posting these videos!
Please, replace the glass. You will save money in the long run. Start saving. I love your house don’t let that glass stop you from enjoying. Slow and steady is the way to go.
I can’t wait to see your videos.
Hi Arvin- congrats on the gorgeous house. My first home was a 1955 Eichler style
Home in Sacramento. She had floor to ceiling windows in every room and it made her gorgeous and light filled but summers killed us. We had to run our AC starting in the morning all through the night so I totally get your pain with the heat wave! I don’t know how old your AC system is but updating it may help and I agree dual pane updates help insulate especially doors. Windows are so expensive to replace and I got outrageous quotes on any customer window changes. Lastly, ours was on concrete slab which made it hard to reach the plumbing. When we had a leak we did not find it for weeks! I hope you can work through these McM issues bc they are really so beautiful but so temperamental. We sold our home in 2020 after 7 years and I still miss her today. ❤ can’t wait to follow along your adventure!
Arvin, I’m so excited for the upcoming lifestyle videos. I love your vlogs so much! Also, I can’t wait to see your projects on the house and how you’re going to design each room. ❤ Stay safe during the heatwave and remember to hydrate!!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing your decorating insights. I was a bit distracted as you have the cutest two little dogs! Furniture aside, they'll make the house a home.
My favorite video of yours. So exciting to see the behind the scenes of a designers new home!
Congratulations to you and Andrew on your new home…….I love it! I’m looking forward to your updates……
The Lowe's website has a feature where you can look up item locations (Aisle and Bay) per store 💜
Yup - for sure. Living in the Valley is brutal. Also keep in mind, the winter nights are quite chilly too - it can get down into the low 40s even in Woodland Hills during December, January so you're not just talking about keeping cool in the summer, you're also talking about keeping yourself sane during the winter months as well...that heating bill is going to literally be warming up your backyard at some point. You might qualify for a DWP rebate at some point because you're helping cut down on energy costs - you should look into it.
xoxo
Maybe Sage is homesick. Enjoy your new space. Keep your chin up, I know you'll make it a dream come true!!
I recently saw a home like this on another channel that underwent renovations. When the new owners moved in, it was extremely hot in the summer and extremely cold in the winter. They had to replace the glass as well. It will be beautiful once it all comes together though.
Congratulations Arvin, your house is simply gorgeous! It's going to be a huge task, but you'll do a great job, I'm looking forward to it. Love watching your videos, you and your style are so unique. Many greetings from germany Düsseldorf.
I’m obsessed with the new house! So excited to watch the design process. I know it will be stunning. BTW have you seen Athena Calderone’s collab with Crate and Barrel? It’s fabulous.
I love love love the house! I knew it was gonna be hot af cause of the light and windows in the older homes. I hope you find the right glass. It’s gonna be great! I can feel it.
I truly enjoy your channel. Be well.
Thank you.
Love you! You and your family stay hydrated, doggies included ❤
Congratulations to your new house. It’s so beautiful. I wonder you can put some film covers on your windows. We did that to previous house facing south it helped a lot. I can’t wait to see how you design it with your great taste Arvin! 🥂🤩
"I will miss you Nak" so sweet. 💗 Can't wait to see how you'll transform this house to aesthetic perfection.
