Welcome to the channel! I'm formally educated with a college degree in interior design. My husband and I started this channel to discuss practical real world interior decorating techniques, and to present a multitude of interior design styles. Our videos explore everything from the ultra luxury to budget friendly designs, and decorating ideas. We want you to have a good time watching our videos, while learning a great deal of useful information. Subscribers are not a commodity to us. They are very respected, and valued members of our channel family!

Very thankful for your kind attitude about the comfort of your home for older people. I can't hop up into a barstool or sit in a low sofa (I'm 73 and have some mobility issues) and you're the first young person who ever mentioned how that might affect your guests. Not that you should have to take that into consideration in every room. I also really like your encouragement that home decor should reflect your life and be unique to you, not the average cookie-cutter art.
"This is not a pillow factory. This is not a pillow sales room." Garrett, that was so funny I literally laughed out loud! I love your advice and you always entertain! Also, Cornelius is beyond cute! Thanks for another wonderful video. 🐶❤
My pleasure Michelle!🐶🐶🐶
What I find makes a home so uninviting is the powder room/guest bathroom. I hate when they have old/dirty/colored/holiday hand towels (I think they should be white and I prefer them folded at the side of the sink so I know it is clean), minimal toilet paper on the roll, and no extra rolls in full view, and a strong candle burning in there.
Thank you so much for considering guests with mobility issues!
Hi. I'm from Bangalore, India. Ive been following your videos for over a year now and I think they are fantastic.
Awesome, thank you! I appreciate your support. It means a great deal. Please consider subscribing to the channel if you haven't already. We would love to have you as part of our very valued subscriber family. :)
Pets not only need room to walk around and a place that's "theirs", they need a place to get away so they don't get overwhelmed.
Agreed! Thanks for sharing Martha. Please take a moment to support the channel, and join our very valued subscriber family. 🐶🐶🐶😊😊
I LOVE Cornelius !! Your pups are adorable ! Glad you mentioned the scent thing. It can be overwhelming and bring on a headache ! Love all your helpful tips !
Thanks so much Jan!
Hi Garrett. Such practical decor info. Loved this 🤗. And seeing Cornelius was a real treat.
Love that green Garrett. If only I could find a throw blanket for my den that color.😮 Thanks for the needful information.
👍👍👍
Great episode. I always enjoy your perspective.
However ... as a Canadian if you don't take your shoes off when you come into a home you would be considered rude. Removing shoes/boots, and for at least half of the year, a big poofy winter coat is just considered good manners here in Canada. When I was in college and didn't have a TV (yes, I'm old) I used to have colouring books and a basket of crayons and small puzzles on my coffee table. It gave folks things to do with their hands during visits.
Thanks for the advice and give your puppies a pat for me.
Omg…. I was racing around the house incorporating your ideas… pause… pause….pause lol….i love watching older videos it gives me fresh ideas 💡 ❤thanks for sharing!!!
Love that! Thanks so much Nita.
I appreciate the scent comment. My allergies are s bad i cant get close the an all natural essential oil plug in , let alone an air freshener or candle and it is so hard to be a gracious guest when you feel like you have to hold your breath. I love the open coffee table book idea; i dread this trend of placing vases and candles on top of books. Books are functional art. When people use books more as pedestals than books, i judge them and assume they dont actually read their books
Thanks for sharing Natalie! Please take a moment if you haven’t already to support the channel, and join our very valued subscriber family!😊😊😊
I agree with you on the pillows 😊
Great points! I love how you break everything down so those of us who are designed challenged can understand exactly what you are communicating.
Glad you enjoyed!
Yes, at 4:43, adding a comment and subscribing, and liking. You are charming and delightful.
Thanks so much Jackie! Welcome to the channel. It’s great to have you as part of our very valued subscriber family!😊😊😊
Garrett, I just love your style and your videos. You are sensible, reasonable, but elegant.
Thank you so much Ellen! I appreciate your support. 😊😊😊
Triple Chop! 😂 Every time I do it, I think that Garrett will approve! 😅 Cornelius is a big love 💙🐾!
Omg I love your sweet doggies!!!!
Thanks Terri!
I have too many friends and clients who've spent tons of money on their new house or remodel but have little to no art because they and their partner can't come to an agreement on anything. Thus, their spaces look unfinished and
boring. As you mentioned there are soooo many places to find great pieces, whether that is your grandma's basement, a festival, an antique store, your own photos, etc...
I have never bought coffee table books, but I do own many hard backed mystery books I am working my way through, and they are typically stacked up in a series of two next to a vase and a candle on our coffee table.
Me, calculating how big my coffee table needs to be to fit all this stuff 😂😅
Love your videos. Today I especially loved what you had to say about coffee table books and art. You are such a natural educator.👏❤️👏
Thanks so much Amy!
Thanks for another great video. I don't care for a mountain of shoes at the door, and yes someone took my husband's shoes and left his larger out of shape scruffy ones, when he left the party before us. Funny but true. I usually bring a bag with slippers to change into leaving my shoe's in the bag stashed away from traffic. I've seen people step and crush good shoes as they walk over them to the door.
Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed Beverly!😊😊😊
I love Cornelius ❤❤❤😂
I have lots of art that isn't well known or available at the box stores. It's all chosen because I liked it. Some are original unique pieces, some are printed digital art pieces. Plus a couple sculptural pieces
Of course, as always, youre the best. I love that you actually brought up photos and art. I've been meaning to ask you how you really feel about canvas art? Oh, and yes, I heard that same rumor going around that family photos (which I make into a gallery wall) shouldn't be in your main space, but only in your bedrooms. Hey, I love my family and proud, so with that said you just made me feel even more confident keeping it as is. ❤️❤️❤️ Thanks as always Garrett.
Hi Donna! Thanks for your lovely comment. I personally like art in various mediums that is actually hand done by an artist whether famous or not. I think tasteful amounts of family or important photos are fine in various parts of a home. I don’t hang photos in the main rooms in my home. I have art I want to display, but I do have a gallery wall mainly of celebrities my husband have met or know that are important to us on a gallery wall that is not in a central room. This all really depends of your personal style and levels of formality in your home. There is no one right way because peoples’ homes and lifestyles are different. Every situation needs to be handled on a case by case basis. This is why we cover many design and decor styles versus me just pushing my own style because in real life that is not how interior design and decorating works in my opinion. ✨✨✨
With all the Modern Organic going on, if you're looking for functional, entertaining coffee table decor: look into wooden "puzzle" games. Like the Burr puzzle e.g.
Wooden blocks/rubics cube type of gamey stuff.
They are equally beautiful, entertaining and easy on the "it's a vibe"- eye.
Great tips Garrett. I like the coffee table tips. We have a puzzle we work on with a felt pad on our coffee table ❤️
Thanks Garrett for explaining about photos & arts,…that’s exactly what I feel about a gallery wall!!! It’s so important to me!!! Thanks again, …you’re genius !!!!
🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽❤️
You are so welcome! Thanks for sharing Brooke. Please take a moment if you haven't already, and join our very valued subscriber family. :)
I’m already a proud subscriber of course !!! 👍🏼😁❤️
@@brookeb9199 Yay! It’s great to have you with us Brooke. 😊😊😊
Another awesome video, Garrett! I have finally gotten my picture and arrangement and I think everything looks cohesive, uncluttered, and clean. One small problem is I have 2 smaller oval pictures, (maybe 10" tall) that need a good place where they won't look out of place and cluttered. These paints are near and dear to me. Not only do I love how they look, but because my mom painted them many years ago... Any ideas where pictures like these could go? Hard question since you can't see my house, but maybe in general, where would you place something like this? Thank you for any suggestions!
Thanks so much Loretta! Glad you enjoyed. :)
Maybe a nightstand or on a bookshelf if you have one? Somewhere that will spark a comment about them that way if you like you can share the story of your mother about them!
I have two small oval pictures that I've placed just at eye level on the wall where my guest bed is. That way they are seen just as my guest is going to sleep.
Some people runs hot and some people runs cold. It is important for it to be on the cooler side but have some blanket available.
Hello 👋 I love the coffee table ideas! You are such an inspiration and Cornelius 🥰 what can I say he is a gem. Love learning from you. Great video
Yay! Thanks so much. He is off the charts sweet and amazing. 🐶🐶🐶
Like all the tips!!
But I need some help on managing kids toys/kids space while keeping up on style and organization!! Any tips?
Keep being you!
Hey Garrett, Great video. I have a good friend with a very cluttered home. When I go there, I'm not sure where to sit, and it triggers my desire to tidy up! 😆
And no, she doesn't want me to offer to help her clean or do dishes.
Ugh! Thanks so much Nancy. :)
I'd like to add to the scent topic by reminding us all that PETS have a much more sensitive sense of smell than we do. 🐈⬛🐇🐕 ETA: of course you'd mentioned that!!
I'm guilty as charged regarding bar chairs. I chose to have a bar/dining set due to limited space here in NYC. The drawback was I rarely sat on those chairs due to their unfriendly height.
Cornelius ought to be Charles III for Halloween!! LOL. He's 10 x cuter.
Great advice! OMG, I have an English bulldog too....they are the best!
I agree! English Bulldogs are the best. Cornealius is the sweetest most amazing boy. 🐶🐶🐶
@@GarrettLeChic this is my third one! Thanks for all of your videos. I’m building a new home and they’ve been so helpful!
Haha, that was not the dog I was expecting when you called him.
Great video! Very informative!
‘I love that for you’ Translation=
not my thing but, that’s all you
I love how you always take into account kids and older relatives when giving tips.
Absolutely!
Garrett, I love that you are on trend without being trendy. Your comment about the coffee table and coffee table books is so great, and thank you for not showing a picture of a Tom Ford coffee table book with chunky beads on top.
I love it!
"the pets need to have access to the space" YES THEY DO!!! We rearranged our entire living room a week after we moved in because we realized the pets needed to have a place to sit and look out the window ❤️
Yes, two prime living room and dining room windows have cat perches attached. Bugs me cause I’m a neat person and love to decorate but they live on those so …… they stay. 😻😻
On top of usefulness for the pets it makes the place so much more wholesome I love it 🥺 Wholesome vibes are sooo good for a homey home hahahha
@@FallenAngelBrass Same here for our cats!
I set a big square ottoman in front of the window in my office with blankets so the dogs can sit and look outside while I work. They love it. They also climb on my desk and put their heads on the mouse while I’m typing but I love them so we work it out. Haha.
It's so nice to hear you say that you like seeing the pictures of family and friends because they're important to people and so many channels just bash them. People like to be reminded of their loved ones so I don't understand why so many channels here don't like that. It's always so lovely to hear people speak about their loved ones because they light up when they do.
I have beautiful photos of great grandparents, all of the aunts and uncles from 1898 to the 1940s. No way am I hiding those.
I was always told that family photos were okay in the family room…. But NOT in the “front room.”
@@teresamckeown5594 Oh no, I display them everywhere.
@@jane-cn6nd I think that's great, we should surround ourselves with people and thing we love so why not! Some of them are artistic too, I love thinking about the lives of the people in the pictures when they're older pictures too
@@kiranhussain554 I'm unabashedly nostalgic.
Garrett, have you ever considered writing a book on the core of home design? You are consistently ten steps ahead of practical, yet beautiful living. Your information and common sense are invaluable.
You never know! ;)
Oh I have one to add! As someone with chronic migraines who is very light sensitive, intense overhead lighting is very difficult for me to hang out in. Even worse than that is any light fixture with exposed bulbs that are at eye level, so if I'm stuck in a seat that looks directly at an exposed bulb on a fixture or lamp, I'm probably having a bad time. Even for those with a less extreme condition than myself, I think most appreciate spaces with good ambient lighting at night.
Yes! The craze for LED bulbs has horrid health consequences.
Dog owners need to bathe their dogs. They need to wash the dog bedding, pillows, special places, etc. They need to vacuum or sweep up the dog hair,
especially on the sofas and chairs where guests will sit. Walking into a house that smells "doggy" is unpleasant. And all the candles in the world can't overcome
that kind of smell. The same can be said for cat owners, bird owners, etc.
I wanted to let you know I just subscribed! Going through your videos, you're the first RUclipsr in the space that I've seen acknowledge people having kids (and of course pets) and therefore needing to take that into consideration. Thank you for remembering these are HOMES not just Instagram content ❤️
Thanks for your lovely comment! Welcome to the channel. It’s great to have you as part of our very valued subscriber family. 😊😊😊
Thank you for addressing barstools. I have functional neurological disorder, and for whatever reason, I always seem to have an FND fit when I'm on a barstool. Then I can't get out of the chair without help because it's too high off the ground and I've temporarily lost body control. But in between fits, I don't seem disabled at all. Sometimes it's the people you least expect who need extra accessibility considerations.
Absolutely! Thanks for sharing Morgan. Please take a moment to support the channel if you haven't already, and join our very valued subscriber family. :)
Garrett...Love your videos for all the design advice, but then you throw in your love of animals that's just a win-win-win in my book. It really makes you one of my top creators and I get so happy when your videos come out.🥰
Thanks so much Mary! I'm so glad you have been with us since the beginning. Always great to hear from you! :
Ugh. Hate the bar height stools and tables. Glad someone said this!
Thank you for mentioning the SCENT! I can’t tolerate artificial scents. Among other things they make my larynx swell. I never visit a 2. time anywhere with Glade plugins or cheap candles. Aside from the obvious damage these scents do to chemically sensitive people and PETS with their sensitive noses, the chemicals accumulate in the fatty tissue of the human body.
Same here. My SO has allergies and has had to leave people's houses because of the "air fresheners "
I have chemical fragrance allergies yes it is a real thing! And asthma So I can relate!!
I have asmath and spray/plug ins and so forth triggers it in a hurry. These artificial scents are not good for anyone. We are not meant to be breathing in all the chemicals these scents are made from.
I’ve read many times that glade plug-ins are tied to seizure disorders in animals and children. I personally think they smell toxic but damn am I a sucker for a scented candle
Glade Plug-Ins are the worst! I used to do a lot of substitute teaching push-in to classes, and there was one class in one school that had Glade Plug-Ins. I refused to go to that class; since it's against District policy to use Plug-Ins, I got a free period every time.
My daughter-in-law recommended a place for me to get my legs waxed before a cruise; they had scented candles and diffusers that gave me a migraine. Next trip, I have to try a different place!
Never fell for the ubiquitous $200 must-have book. So very refreshing to hear someone say it out loud!!
😊😊😊
It's maybe not decoration per se, but part of how a guest is welcomed and how the mood is set:
Televisions should be switched off, unless we are meeting to watch something specific together, like Eurovision. Otherwise, a TV in the Background is something I find rude and uninviting. A good choice of background music on the other hand is a wonderful subtle gesture of respect and effort to make the space feel inviting.
Thank you thank you thank you!!! Cologne and glade products, etc actually do make some of us sick. I love so much how you keep it real. Pillow talk, lol. Great video. ❤
My husband is as sensitive to scents (maybe more so) as you are. Other than the opening of windows to let the fresh air in, what we will do - on occasion if we have guests over - is just cut a few lavender sprigs and place in very small vases. One in the bathroom they will use and one in the bedroom they will use if they are spending the night. Lavender grows well in pots so a plant can be kept on the deck if a person does not have a garden.
@@robinbirdj743 +1 against lavaner. It's instant headache for me.
Am I a moth? Lol.
(and I can tolerate _most_ of incense sticks, and perfumes. Not cleaning solutions tho.)
I really appreciate this one, especially your comments about scent! I have severe asthma and have literally had to leave a friend and relatives home because the overwhelming scents triggered me into a an asthma attack. One thing that should be mentioned is the low furniture in guest rooms. I once was invited to stay at a young relatives home when I was traveling. Their guest room had a very low bed, barely off the floor. The room was very elegant and nicely decorated, but that bed...OOF!
Thanks so much Gwenivere, and thank you for sharing!
Hi Garrett. Love your videos in the midst of aftermath of hurricane Fiona. It has been 8 days without power or water here in PuertoRico ( relying on generator). Your videos bring joy thank you for being so thoughtful and respectful with your subscribers!
Our thoughts and prayers are with you! It’s just horrible that this is happening to Puerto Rico again. I’m so sorry you and the people of Puerto Rico are suffering more. I’m glad you are are enjoying the videos and they bring you joy, and thank you for even finding the time to watch right now with what you are going through. I’m touched.
Am sending positive thoughts your way, Mercedes.
Follower from Puerto Rico here too. Just got power yesterday. Love how informative this channel is - no matter your style. 🇵🇷
@@paulineacosta8409 🙏🙏🙏
My prayers are with you and everyone affected my this catastrophe 🙏🙏🙏
Cornelius is great!
Agreed!!!
Homes that are too dim are very off putting. Open the curtains and turn on some lamps, not overhead pot lights.
Is it bad I don't go to other peoples' homes?? I just like having my home the way I like it and not fussed with, or worse, judged. I prefer meeting people for lunch or dinner. Then come home to my sanctuary.
Garrett!!! Another video with practical advice! Ty! How about when there is NO room on a coffee table for a coffee cup… or anything because it covered in “fake” staging??? Ugh
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed. Please take a moment if you haven't already to support the channel, and join our very valued subscriber family. I would not like that type of styling.
Hi Garrett!!
Love love your videos❤️❤️
My husbands family is something else.. we have two adorable dogs, very well behaved by the way.. every time they(husbands family)come visit they complain about them(the adorable dogs)being in the living room with us.. they sniff and say hi very politely(the dogs 😂 )but his family hate that.. and no, they are not allergic to dogs, How do I tell them that it’s my dogs home!! I hate putting them away in the laundry room every time they come! 😠
I get so happy watching your videos, they feel very relatable, I have watched other designers that say things like NO family pictures in your living room, or paint your whole house black.. or only white lights in your Christmas tree.. 😂
Your videos feel like if you were family ❤️❤️ love that for me ❤️❤️❤️
Very sweet comment! Thanks so much.
There were welcome mats for awhile that said something about my pets live here you visit...
Great tips as always! To go along with scent, I think temperature is always important. You mention older guests, and they won’t be at all comfortable if a house is only 65 degrees in the winter. And nothing is worse than a dank and tepid house in the summer because the owners “don’t like” air conditioning. It should be on for the guests, imo.
In Germany, those paper-lamps cost 5-10 Euros....and who would pay more?
I hate when a persons house lighting is too dim. My eyes strain
Lighting is a key factor to great design!
Besides good housekeeping, a spritz of fabreeze in the shoe closet, no stinky dish towels, a clean fridge, and no overt pet odors like a litter box will keep the house fresh.
i love how Garret does give realistic solutions to desing specially when we talk about hosting people or house parties, using your dinner chairs to seat you guest at the living room is so relatable and functional, most people will only limit to tell you to consider the number of seating for every guest, but cmon those "fancy" massive AD living rooms with huge couches look so ugly and end up having a really unpersonal lobbby vibe. I don't care how much you love to throw partys at home im quite sure that having 5+ couches at the living room aint something pretty to see every day.
I don't like to see a pillow chopped so deep it looks like a fortune cookie.
OMG Garrett, great video, and so helpful. My only gripe is that it's too short! Like you could have elaborated for 40 minutes on this, as well as other rooms in the house. Please make more like this, love!
This isn’t a “Pillow factory or pillow sales room where every model is in display…”. Omg 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 you are hillarious. Thanks for the laugh and the informative video as always!!
I really appreciate how inclusive you are to the older guests in the home from reminders of how a low sofa or high bar stools can be difficult to get in and out of for this population. I just discovered your channel and this video is so on point with each design mistake and makes me laugh too. I absolutely love your style, the substance and CORNELIUS!! 🐾
Thank you for saying that having some family photos out in your home is interesting and inviting. It’s more important that your home reflect you than for it to look like a generic model home. I enjoy photography and have several photos of our travels on the walls….guests are always interested in them. I agree that your home should be comfortable for your pets too…it’s their home too!
Cornelius’s yawn😂 perfectly timed
Hi Garrett, I’m with you on smells in a space. I always feel like if a home smells strongly of some type of “perfume “ that the people are trying to cover up something unappealing. The same with someone who wears an over abundance of perfume or after shave. Just take a shower! Or cleanup what ever it is you’re trying to mask.
Fragrance departments in stores make me sick. I hold my breath when passing through.
I love all the smells but I try to be mindful when guests are coming over. I know some people hate fragrances but I love a good Christmas tree candle and incense that smells like they health food store 😆
Your practicality combined with style is wonderful
🤗🤗🤗
THANK YOU !!
I was at a friend's daughter's home and she only had those high bar stool height chairs in the dinning room area. At 71 I tried to look "well ok its comfortable", but all the time I was thinking how much longer till we leave, my knees were killing me.
Too many pillows? Guilty as charged! My guests keep pushing them away and I love it!
First: I adore your green shirt, looks great on you ! I have a couple of art books on my table, not open though. Thank you for the sitting arrangement advice. Cornelias is the cutest, ever. Yes, the to much pillows on a bench is very uncomfortable. I have had to throw them on the side floor, lol. Have a great Sunday.
Thanks so much Fabiola!
Love your advice! Leaving a book open is a great idea. Gotta include the pets! Your advice is genius.
Thanks so much! They are part of the family. I think it would be weird not include them or show views of your home, furniture and decor as a designer on social media😊😊😊.
The color of your shirt in this video is one of my favorite colors! And it looks Fantastic on you Garrett!😊😊😊. It's a Manchurian Periot color. Lovely.
Thanks so much!!
Thank you for the helpful tips. They are practical, wise, and make a difference. I love seeing you laugh and love seeing the dogs even more.
You are so welcome!
i'd like to add to the list, so many living rooms I see online that discriminate against older guests. Younger viewers of Garret's age who are fit and fully able bodied may not realise how many older people have lingering injuries, e.g. knee and ankle and back problems, which may not be apparent. these invisible problems can make it hard for them to lower themselves onto a low sofa, and even harder or painful for them to get themselves out of it -- especially if the sofa has no arm rests. If your older guests make a beeline for the kitchen/dining table to sit down, it is usually a sign! Unless you are never going to socialise with anyone over 50 ( e.g. no parents, aunties, uncles grandparents etc visiting ever), every lounge room should always have at least one if not 2 chairs that are easy to get in and out of,( i.e. the seat is medium height and has arms); what is known as "a comfortable armchair." The seat should be short ,not long ( as older people have shorter legs generally) and should be properly padded, not hard. A sofa will never do, regardless of how expensive it is, as it will only have one armrest next to the guest for them to lean on(if any!) and will be too squishy and low to get out of- or even too awkward to lean forward to reach their cup of coffee. Older persons should never be offered the sofa to sit on. There should always be another option - a firm padded arm chair of reasonable seat height. It's dead easy to find really stylish ones; and your older guests will no longer dread having to sit in your loungeroom!
Thank you for the perfect guidelines for the older folks and others who have issues! Never would have known so many details 👍
Garrett, I’m Canadian it’s considered disrespectful not to take off your shoes. Even after thirty years here I still automatically take off my shoes. Kinda of think it’s a gene at this point. Love 💗the tips once again
I'm looking for classic sunday comics coffee table books! They're whimsical conversation pieces, just for grins!
Great idea!!
I will say - It's definitely weird as a guest to navigate an overdressed coffee table. I still have to put this coffee down somewhere!
Nothing including a coffee table should be overdressed. You can still dress a coffee table appropriately so that guests who wish a cup of coffee to be served in a formal living room will have room to place it.
After watching a few of your videos I had to subscribe! I can't wait to watch more!
Yay! Welcome to the channel. It’s great to have you as part of our very valued subscriber family. 😊😊😊
thank you for the shout out for lesser known artists!!!
Absolutely Harriet! Please take a moment to support the channel, and join our very valued subscriber family. ✨✨✨
😂😂😂 funny…. Pillow factory 🏭… I have friends who have too many & those who don’t have enough lol…. Size does matter😝
Cornelius fur looks so clean and shiny!! What a handsome pup~ Also that green button up shirt looks so good on you Garrett!! The color definitely reminds me of a calm refreshing spring.
Also absolute spot on with the over scented house!! Some homes that I visited definitely has a strong scent that makes me nauseous and that's the reason why I always have some mint candies at my bag
Thanks so much Luna!! Cornealius is the most amazing pup you could imagine. :)
For my future home I want my coffee table to have one of my figurines, my little rabbit candy jar & maybe a small rose candle, & definitely a book that I’m reading to my boyfriend
Btw, when I light a candle I light one in the house. & after a while I put it out
I just love this video. I work from home, students for ESL classes and the entryway is so important! I spent a lot of time getting it right, as I found it really effects how they perform in class, and how they bond with me. I am so happy when one of my students comments on the entryway, they usually tell me that they feel so comfortable in my home because it has so much positive energy. I have designed our home for comfort, for us, our pets, and for any guests, students who come over. Space, scent and energy are so important. Love Cornelius, he's so cute.
Thanks so much!🐶🐶🐶
unpopular opinion - I hate pillows on the couch/chairs. They look pretty but they're not functional in any way. I have to move them to sit down unless I'm perched on the edge, which is not fun. If you want a color or texture, just use a throw or something.
2 things that are turn off, spraying Febreze in your house to hide smells, and wen people have a whole wall of crosses o their wall, it looks like they are getting ready to preform an exorcism.
As always excellent tips. I love artwork and when I travel I purchase local art instead of those kitschy souvenirs. Re the entryway, when designing my home that was one of the things I made sure to have - is a foyer and not just walk right into a room. On my walls by the stairs are all my family portraits which I love. You have a wonderful sense of humor and I see how much your channel has grown so congratulations!!
Thanks so much Rose! I appreciate you support. We want this year to be big. Every subscriber counts to us. :)
Good morning Beautiful LeChic Fam!
My husband & I were once in a House Tour and the host asked us to remove our shoes. We had no problem with this request, but there wasn't a place to sit down or to hang our coats.
It's like... Welcome to this beautiful home, just throw your things anywhere. 😱
I get what your saying about too many pillows and I definitely remember a time when we went to a Birthday party, the host had a large sectional with tons of pillows and no one sat on it. Oh well 😅. The struggle is real!
Love the great inspiration pics in this video!
Until next time, hugs xx
🤦 A home tour without a place to sit or hang your coat??? Isn't the whole point to make potential buyers _feel like they can live there comfortably??_ Unless you're touring a museum home, there's no way you're going to feel like that house can be your living space!
@@ophilianecr That's exactly how we felt! The person showing us the home was the realtor & the owner, so you'd think she would know this. Plus the fact that there were so many personal design/items throughout the house that didn't allow us to see the full potential of the home. Needless to say, we never returned for a second showing. 🤷🏼♀️
Spot on about the over use of fragrances, some people with asthma and allergies can't tolerate them. When I was house hunting, my SO wouldn't go in to look at places if the smells were too strong.
No use is the only safe use for folks with allergies. A little peanut butter is still too much peanut butter for a person with allergies.
Garrett love it that you encourage people to find their own style!
I think it's key!
My neighbor has the scent overload, I stopped by there one day to give her some fresh eggs, and I almost gagged on the smells, we chatted for a few minutes, all the while trying to get back outside to the porch. When I finally made it to car, my hubby wrinkled his nose and asked, "did she spray you with perfume?" We had to roll down the windows so the scents would leave. Ha ha
