    Honestly, if you’re not leading the world in design style already, you SHOULD be. I love your practical approach, and I love that you appreciate a vast array of things and ideas. You just put into words what sums up what I feel is the most IMPORTANT thing concerning interior style: RESPECT THE HISTORY OF THE SPACE! That is brilliant. I have seen so many people ruin a home by trying to change something that was a focal point for that design. (I owned a beautiful home once that featured a skylight over a beautiful stairwell. When the house got older, my engineer husband wanted to just remove it, close it, and roof over it. BATTLE ROYALE! He did not win!) It was lovely to see Albert again, and as always, a pleasure to see you, Garrett. Have a wonderful Sunday! Love to the entire Le Chic Tribe! 🌻

    Thank you Garrett, for calling attention to the white oak trend that is destroying so many big old trees. That's an issue for me because it takes lifetimes to grow those incredible trees, and only a few minutes to take them down. They are so much more valuable to me than trendy decorating.

    Hi Garrett, I often don't leave comments on RUclips, but I cannot emphasize how much I appreciate that you jump right into the content. You don't waste any time talking about extraneous things in the beginning of your videos and I love that. I do love the dog interludes though - keep those coming as I love fur babies! Thank you for your work - the content, effort, and being succinct!

    Garrett, your approach to interior design is really unique: realistic, uncomplicated and also environmently friendly. We indeed just need a space that we love, that reflects who we are. Why should we care if someone says that now for no reason suddenly something is dated, something is in?

    I love your sensitivity to sustainability and waste. For that very reason we refaced our kitchen cabinets in maple (what???) because it matched a beautiful side board we had in maple and maple is beautiful and I don’t care if it’s not on trend, all wood is beautiful IMO. We also kept our granite it is so beautiful and I almost pulled it out for quartz bc it wasn’t on trend and I’m so glad I didn’t do that. Talk about waste and replacing a natural stone for fake? I have quartz in the bathroom and love it but that replaced Formica. Cabinet style, new backsplash and other updates integrated everything and we love it! Thanks for being one of the rare voices of design reason out there. And LOVE your dogs!! They’re so lucky to have you. 😁

      I love maple wood for cabinetry. It's gorgeous. We had espresso stained maple wood cabinets in our first townhome we bought and to this day they were my absolute favorite. I want the same thing in our forever house. I will also always love granite over quartz. Nothing beats the gorgeous veining in natural stone. I don't care if it's on trend or not. It'll come back eventually anyway 😅

    Love these points! On painted brick- if people want the lighter look- use limewash instead. It's an easy, cheap, old world practice that actually is GOOD for masonry and ages gracefully. OR just leave it alone, because brick is timeless.

    I'm impressed at how careful you are with reminding people to respecting antiques and appreciation for things that are historical. Again the emphasis to be mindful of waste and curating pieces over time being more interesting than buying everything brand new then jumping on the next trend dumping everything for the trend after that is just wasteful.

    So true about the brick degrading from moisture (trapped). Never paint on the outside, or bathrooms, fireplaces, kitchens, basements, laundry rooms. Wow- just leave the bricks alone, basically. You just saved a lot of people from making a costly mistake.

      Agree 100%. Completely ignoring the aesthetic side of things, unless it's in a really dry interior space, painted brick and stone can easily become a maintenance nightmare. And once it's painted, there's no easy way of going back.

    Overhead lights on a dimmer with warm light are great. I'm mourning the loss of the incandescent bulb, because no matter what they say on the package, LEDs never truly look as warm to me and you have to really hunt to find dimmable ones. I blame LED bulbs for making overhead lighting the object of scorn and derision when you never heard complaints about it before. Also, the facial hair looks good on you!

    When we remodeled our new home we went with Rustic Oak look LVP flooring due to the fact that we live in the country, have big dogs and wanted something durable. We also remodeled our kitchen, the perimeter cabinets are a pale sage green but the island is walnut and we love the contrast of both the cabinetry and the flooring to the island, it looks really good. I love mixing woods, there isn't too much in nature that will clash.

    I grew up in an old home and always had the overhead light, as well as various table lamps in a room. I can't comprehend not using what I grew up calling "the big light". I feel like nowadays people have a ton of pot lights put into their ceiling (which I absolutely detest) and I think it is the worst lighting I have ever seen (and it looks ugly). A large overhead light (with a dimmer) as well as other lamps in the area makes a room so lovely and cozy.

    Oak trees are a keystone plant - they provide food and shelter for a disproportionately large number of animals, birds, and insects/pollinators. They are absolutely critical to the ecosystem, and the more left to grow, the better. I’m not saying no one should use oak ever, of course, but it’s good for the world to include wood from faster growing trees or grassy plants like pine and bamboo.

    Another great video Garrett. You know that 10 years from now everyone is going to say that white oak is dated and very 2022/23 and dated. As for myself, when we renovated our home we installed a rustic type oak LVP for the durability we live in the country and have large dogs. We also renovated the kitchen and installed a walnut island, in the living room we still use Teak tables (yes it's dated but we love them) I love mixing woods and none of it clashes.

Partially for mood, but also my eyes are a little sensitive to light compared to most people. Yes to the ones in the kitchen and personal bath and shower too. I even put one in laundry room, screened in porch, yep! And walk in closet too. You don't think I am going to actually decorate the laundry room and not add a dimmer do you? 😂

    Hello LeChic Fam! Garrett lovin' your new look. Hi, sleepyhead Albert. You're so adorable.
    Per usual your inspiration your photos are on point! I always use my overhead lighting. The dimmer switch, yes please! One in the bathroom for a peaceful soak in the tub 😌 Very nice!
    Until next time, hugs xx

    Lol Garrett "I just exposed all of them"
    Personally, I painted mine because it was really cheap brick, has no historical value, and they're honestly erroding. It was a lot more work than it was worth considering I never cared for the look anyways. We're probably just going to replace all the brick in a few years.

    So what you're saying is I should add "core" to warm minimalism to make it a style. That's how works, right. Add core to any word and it becomes a style.

  • @dev5963
    @dev5963 Год назад +1

    Dimmers are your best friend. I have them on all my overhead lights (including kitchen and bathroom). If I'm cleaning or cooking, on high. I use them on my lamps also. When I'm reading, they're on high. When watching TV or visitors, lower. Most of us look better in dim lighting. I really don't know how anyone can use a room without a ceiling light. Try painting a room or rearranging furniture in the evening or nighttime without a ceiling light. You may as well do it blindfolded.
    I also dislike defined labels. I want the style to reflect me.

    I have a red brick fireplace that I have been trying to love for 2yrs now, but the colors are so saturated and contrast the rest of my spaces in a bad way. I will be painting it at some point. It's in an empty room that I will furnish once every other room is completed. I would like to see if there is a way to desaturate a bit, maybe using a white wash method. Anyways, love your videos! I have red brick on the outside of my home that I love and will not touch for sure.

    • @GarrettLeChic
      @GarrettLeChic  Год назад

      I understand. I would only suggest having a licensed contractor take a look at it first to see if it’s ok to paint, and if so I would have it professionally done of course.

    With the advent of this new organic modern style limewash paint seems to be the latest trend. Could you paint the exterior of your red brick house with that or would it wash off after a couple rain storms? I've never used the stuff myself but I understand it's permeable to water just like most bricks and mortars.

    • @GarrettLeChic
      @GarrettLeChic  Год назад

      I’m not sure off hand. It’s something that would need to be researched.

      Yes people need to get expert advice in my opinion before painting brick outside, and even inside. If it is appropriate, the work should be done by the appropriate licensed contractor.

    You must have the correct bulbs. Some bulbs are too harsh. Dimmer switch is a great option.

    • @GarrettLeChic

    Thanks so much for the part of minimalism! As a decade long minimalism the entire discussion revolving around 'minimal aesthetics' is annoying. My home is very eclectic, mostly tradtional mixed with mid century elements. Most of it is thrifted and while it's curated, my home is definitely not stark and white (or 'warm minimalist' for that matter).

So, I get it doesn’t matter to you but I don’t care if you like it or not, we do. My favorite color is blue, like you, however, I wouldn’t use it as much as you do. I don’t care because it is what you like. Love your show w, Albert too.
