Thanks so much! I believe we need to truly consider the environment with our design projects. There are many landfills covered with failed trends some "designer" pushed.
When I was younger, my mom had industrial plastic covers on the living room and dining room furniture. She kept it on her furniture for 30 years! I finally convinced her to remove the plastic! The plastic had turned yellow, but her furniture looked brand new! It felt so good not to have that cracking plastic stick to my back thighs when I would go over her house.
My parents did the same thing. One day our parents were out and my brother and I removed all those hideous plastic. When my parents came home they were so mad. I remember telling them we don't pee in our pants anymore enjoy your beautiful furniture.
Omg!! Same thoughts regarding the wallpaper border. Our house recently went into a major renovation and my mom wanted borders to go with the new wall paint,.I had to put my foot down on not putting it. I knew i made the right call and mom was ultimately happy with the results. 😌
Mini blinds! I had them about 40 years ago on the windows flanking my bed. My cat used to sit on the nightstand and rake her paw up and down the blinds to wake me in the morning. I will never forget that godawful noise!
Mini blinds are similar to venetian blinds, but they are 1 inch wide slats made of vinyl or painted aluminum. They were popular in the 1980s and 90s. Now I have wider wooden blinds with straight drapes at the sides. I made my drapes to coordinate with the blinds...much better.
I used to live with my 90 year old grandmother and she had a recliner. It really helped her with mobility issues. She could press a button to help her get up and press another button to lay back comfortably. It was super ugly, but other than it's practical use it was the most comfortable chair in the house! 😩
I love to look back on old magazines, 50's and 60's and the nostalgia is just so thick and heavy when I see the pictures. I grew up with Mid century modern furniture and now it's making a comeback with a twist of color and design.
If you decide to add wallpaper, for the sake of all that's Holy, make sure the surface you are putting it on is appropriately primed/painted. Wallpaper applied to bare drywall CANNOT ever be removed without damaging the drywall underneath. Eight remodels later, I've learned to just pull it down asap.
Garrett, I agree with you about mini-blinds, they suck. But, I’m old enough to remember what mini-blinds replaced: nothing! Taped-up Brown paper or newspaper, or bed sheets held up by thumb tacks. Cheap rental units were improved by mini-blinds, and they were cheap enough for most stingy landlords.
I remember having vinyl roller shades before mini blinds. Those weren't great looking either and they were either up or down. Mini blinds were an improvement because then you can turn them to let in some light.
I have always hated the bulky look of recliners! My husband of almost 40 years had always wanted a recliner but I resisted until last year when we bought two “Stressless” recliners that are of Scandinavian design. They are incredibly comfortable and work well with my Transitional design style. I kept all the upholstered furniture in the room the same cream color and it works for now. When you get close to 60 years old you deserve less stress! (The recliners are a cream color in leather and they are very “un-bulky”...)
I got the vanilla stressless recliners & ottomans last summer and they are very comfortable but I’m hating the dye transfer from clothes (black clothes or jeans…) - any tips?
I dont understand distressed anything, whether it be real or faux. Why would I want something with the paint coming off it? I like fully painted and crisp looking furniture.
My wall is concrete, so I added additional plywood (compressed wood) wall in front, in order to make the pocket. One of the door, I design it to recess into my wardrobe. If u are not able to add wall up to ceiling, u might need to build a frame for the railing system and lock. Hope it helps.
Someone’s style is very personal, and we have no idea what a person’s circumstances dictate for them. I have a really pretty sofa that’s horribly uncomfortable, so won’t make that mistake again! I also have some distressed pieces of furniture and a few beautiful antique pieces handed down from family. I’d say my style is eclectic. If you visit to see spend time with me that’s great! If you visit to see how I decorate and tell me what’s wrong, please just stay home!!!!
I live on a farm in an 1820s farmhouse. My husband and I DESPISE the new lumber barn doors some people put up 😂. If other farm houses in our area have excessive barn doors we say the house has had the “live, laugh, love” treatment.
I love everything you said and guffawed when you mentioned the wallpaper borders! Thank you for presenting information in a realistic and educational way rather than other channels who do nothing but shame people for their design choices. (Or lack of choices in many instances.) As an artist, I sincerely appreciate your dedication to using art as an integral part of design. I see far too many homes with bare walls and they just feel...hollow. Also - totally dig the painting in your dining room!!
Oh gosh I so agree, Valances are so 80's...unless you need that color up there to bring a formal room structure with high quality fabric boxes, I love full length curtains, and I love when they just touch the floor and rest there so pretty. I especially adore velvet, voile, organza with a beautiful geometric pattern or the more modern Moroccan looking lace knits and some high end European laces. Valances may serve a purpose in a laundry room or a kitchen window where you want to look out but you could also do a sheer that you could open if needed.
I’ve learned that the more trendy your design - the worse it will look down the road. I worked at a paint and wallpaper store years ago when hunter green and burgundy were very popular. I cannot stand hunter green and burgundy to this day. We sold some BEAUTIFUL wallpaper that would still work today. And we sold some of the ugliest wallpaper you can imagine - some people just have bad taste. Lol These geometric wallpapers, tile floors, and emerald green color that is popular worry me. They will look dated very quickly.
Man, I thought I was the only one out here condemning “hunter green” I hate that color so much! Our carpets were hunter green, the sectional (which was of course hunter green, taupe and burgundy) as was their bedspread, the curtains and a million other things she picked out for my dad’s house bc my stepmom was a tacky jerk in the 90s 🤮🤮🤮. I moved out of that green and mauve and cream colored hellscape at 17 and hunter green has _never_ been allowed in my space since, not even little things.
Let's add the orange/brown/cream combo to that also. I am systematically removing that from a 1985 manufactured home my dad had at the beach. I refuse to purchase anything brown. Or orange.
That’s why I don’t advocate jumping on trends but decorating in a timeless manner. Also, it’s most important that a space reflects the person’s taste not a trend.
Guilty!!! I have dinner plates that are burgundy and hunter green. I feel bad getting rid of them because they were the first things we picked out for our wedding registry.
I bought a beige Lazy Boy leather recliner 30 yrs ago and we all still love it. A few years ago, I almost put it up for sale but just couldn’t do it. It’s still like new!
Garrett, you are always spot on! I discovered you recently and am catching up on many of your videos! I love your advice, but your humor makes them even more special. I was laughing out loud when the picture of the Vertical Blinds came up in this one.
You crack me the hell up!!!😝😝😝 where do I start. Detective movie floored me. Of course, The Barn Door. The Recliner. You’re a crack up and I love to watch you work.
Ha! I have a recipe box (for the youngsters, that’s a box which holds 3x5 cards with recipes written on them) with those country geese on them! Someone gave it to us as a wedding gift. 1987 😉. I still use it even though it’s falling apart.
Anyone else remember the cement geese outside the front door? There was a whole clothing line for them. Still can’t figure out why anyone thought it was a good idea.
If I can't manage to feel comfortable and relaxed sitting upright on a comfortable couch then it's time to go to bed not buy an ugly piece of furniture, lol. New subscriber here :) I have had almost all these ugly dated things back in the 80's and 90's but am happy to say this grandma no longer has any of these tacky stuff going on.
“I’m not gonna be that person who says don’t get the set. Yes, you don’t need the entire collection but a couple pieces can be cohesive.” You saved me a headache.👏 👏
Yes! For my bedroom, I bought a wooden nightstand and a dresser but then a bed from a different collection rather than the matching bed. Six years ago and still loving that decision.
I have the matching bedroom set. For some time, I haven’t liked the room but it wasn’t until now that I realized it was because it all was matchy-matchy. Good luck explaining to my husband why I now need to get rid of ‘perfectly good’ furniture. 😂
I'm going through and watching every single one of your videos that I've missed. you are my absolute favorite designer on UA-cam! I vibe with your personality! So blunt and funny, I've learned so much! Thank you !
Wow, thank you! I truly appreciate that. It's great to have you as part of our very valued subscriber family. If you haven't already, please turn on your bell notifications so you know every time I upload a video.
Very cute and funny delivery! When you're like this I tend to listen a little more carefully because you have drawn me in. Nothing like having a little humor when discussing a serious subject i.e., "barn doors,". 😃
Something that I saw a lot during my home search that I NEVER thought I would see in 2022 was carpeting in the bathroom. One person even had a carpeted tub surround. 😳🤢 PLEASE, make that go away.
Good Morning Garrett. I finally got a moment to watch one of your videos. I am really looking forward to watching the other ones. You are an absolute delight! You're really enjoyable to watch and listen to and your advice is spot on. I completely agreed with all your points in this video. How could we ever have done half those things????? Too funny. It's like mullet hair cuts or wearing leg warmers...just wrong! Again - thanks...very entertaining and informative. Canadian Cath
I love a good valance but like you mentioned it only works in specific settings and that is a full on victorian vibe. In any other setting I'd find it a very heavy treatment.
I disagree. I made valances of a sea foam green/gray/cream pattern material with sea foam green sheers and matching tie backs. It brightens up my small room yet provides privacy. To each his own.
I agree with almost all of this. The recliner has to stay. I hunted for months to find one that not only matched the living room but was comfortable for my husband without being gross. Most are super surprised it reclines. And bet he gets his nap in when hes worked a hard day.
@@GarrettLeChic Oh trust me. I was so against having the typical 90s dad over sruffed recliner that takes up so much space. Ironically its actually the one made for my couch. But i didnt find it for almost 6months. Showed up at the furniture store from another. I didnt like the leather options with my couch. The furniture store guy called me and goes we got the other chair option. Picked it up that day.
I found on Wayfair, a recliner that was a very near twin to my small upholstered, skirted rocker, was listed in the nursery section (i.e. it is small) of furniture made by Klaussner. So now I have 2 small navy blue, soft, (near twins) upholstered rockers in my living room, one of them just reclines! I am 4'11". I hate big upholstered stuff! My living room is only 18 x 19 feet, with a fireplace taking out a chunk and now a mahagany desk as it is also my office. My 2 rockers stay as well as my upholstered box valance over my sheer grommeted curtains. I love the soft rolls of pinch pleats, but hate messing with installing traverse rods. Grommets are wonderful. No big swags & jabots with tassels as a valance.
Recently I had the pleasure of removing a wallpaper border in my mom's house. It was actually pasted on some type of board and nailed to the wall surrounding her living room, and it had been there for about 15-20 years. She let me redo the whole room, and it made me so happy to burn that border along with the weird rail things she glued to her kitchen cabinets. Now I just need to get her to part with the red corduroy double recliner.
I need to hire you…the previous homeowner of our new 1926 craftsman bordered every single room, except the two bedrooms that are wood paneling (they have to go too…)…but I’m overwhelmed just by the borders. I almost feel bad because she even stated during closing she would miss the borders she worked so hard on. My 73 year old mother even thought it was overdone.
I never liked recliners either. I had back and neck issues starting in my 20’s and went shopping for a good quality chair and found one that suited me as I do a lot of reading. It was a leather wingback and I still love it 30 years later. My husband wanted a recliner but I find it awkward to watch TV in and prefer the versatility of a sofa or comfortable chair.
I hate the look of my recliner too but as the other person said, it is the most comfortable chair in the house. My dogs love to snuggle and rock with me in it so I guess I will just say I’m the one who has to live here and look at it. Garrett I would like you to know that I so appreciate your approach as you educate us about design. I often feel anxious after watching some other youtube designers but with you I feel empowered to express my own style in an informed way that is more likely to turn out the way I want it to. Thank you so much!!
I appreciate your comment and understand where you are coming from. I even listed recliners that I felt were stylish. We really love having you as part of our subscriber family! 😀😀😃
I’m so glad I found you! This adulting is overwhelming at times. I mean I grew up wearing school uniforms and struggle to make a cute outfit much less put together an entire room or home. I want to go into this with a good sense of what to do and not do.
Welcome to the channel Chelsea! I'm really happy you are part of our subscriber family! There are more than 50 videos on the channel you can check out with tons of great information, and much more to come!
I also would like to see alternatives that arent too expensive. Especially for the mini blinds and verticals in front of a patio door. For barn doors I would like to see barn doors that look more modern and not so barny. For example, I'd like to have a sliding door that I could use to close off my galley kitchen that is suitable for a wall garden of herbs - maybe slats that would look good with or without the plants.
I have seen doors that are similar design to our ugly barn doors, with outside mount (instead of a pocket door,) with a wood valance across the top concealing the ugy mounting hardware. Less expensive than having a carpenter open up the wall to carve out space for a pocket door, but not with the barn vibe!
I agree with everything. The only thing I would add to the list is the fabric upholstery protectors that you get when you buy a new sofa or chair. They always look awful, never cover the arms correctly, just poof up. I throw them away or carry in my purse to match drapes, pillows, etc.
I bought a dining table and the matching buffet because I was obsessed. I’ve never bought a set and of course I have different chairs but I could not stop. Had to have
Personally I don't hate barn doors, I like it when it is used appropriately, but I feel like they lack the privacy that is needed, especially how it is conveniently used in front of the bathrooms. In the cottage I live, we renovated the bathroom space to meet in the tiny hallway yet was lucky to have the right space to put in a pocket door to save the space in the hallway and bathroom. The pocket door has privacy and I'm not worried it will come off the track like barn doors can.
I do agree to some degree about the Valances and someone mentioned tie back curtains looking dated. However, personal choice and taste, I grew up with that look and our house was very grand. I still to this day love that look. (Not fluffy ones but very tailored cornice treatments). Thanks for your videos
I just got rid of a sofa that didn't fit my living room. I had two other pieces that matched. They would look nice in someone else's home. Our living room is small. One needed to go.
I'd rather have bangs than a valance. :-D Fun video! And I'm more than thrilled to say I don't have any of those things. I probably have other dated things, but at least I don't have those dated things...
New subscriber here! I don't know how I found you, but I'm glad I did. I love love love your tips and how you explain everything so it makes sense to us non-designers. Keep up the good work!!!
I am not a plain or modern kind of person,I still like traditional,I wish I could get into some of the newer trends but they don't seem to appeal to me
New scriber here. Oh my goodness! you hit my biggest pet peeves on the head. Thank you so much. This video was very satisfying. Boarder paper. UGH When I was looking to buy a home I would just move on if I saw boarder paper. The house should be free if it has boarder paper. And who has a room large enough to even fit an entire bedroom set. I think\hope the sets are made so we can pick and choose which pieces work for us. Did buy a home that was mostly left in the 80's with gold metal mini blinds through out. Price was great and no boarder paper. Beautiful custom made drapes in the bedroom. No valances, ruffles or unnecessary add ons. Bit by bit I took the blinds down. I had to do it in bits as I could only fit so many in the trash bin each week. Thirteen windows worth. And I could count on being very happy each week. Did check recycling and none was to be found. Ok, so not a fan of a recliner and I inherited a new sofa. Still had the tags on. Nice style for me. What I never noticed, until someone told me, was that it had zero clearance recliners at each end. I'm ok with it, as you cannot tell just looking at it. My current home is 950 sq ft. so wheeling out the tv to watch a movie by the fire in my hidden recliner is fine. No one has to know.
Welcome to the channel Twill! I love how you are working with your new home, and I wish you much happiness. It sounds like you are doing some awesome things to make it your own. Happy Holidays!🎄🎄🎄
Can you please do a video on selecting area rugs? Not just size, but what they are made of, pattern, just do a remnant? I need two large area rugs for a shared dining/living space so that our dog doesn’t slip all over the floors, but don’t want to do matching rugs. In other words, can you please come do my tiny new home? I’m hopeless with the important elements like area rugs & window treatments.
I’d love to help you personally but I just don’t have any free time working on the channel plus other ventures my husband and I are working. For me to do that would be so expensive that I would hate to even quote you. I like real Turkish or Persian area rugs but will consider your suggestion for sure. Thanks.
My husband says he loves our vertical blinds. I loved them in 2002 to give us privacy and it kept our dog from ripping curtains. But that doggie years ago, so I told him I am getting curtains!!! This video proved to me that I'm right! Love your channel!
Hallo dear Garrett!!! I Made a BIG mistake buying a pre-distressed Dining Rooms Set!!! HIDIOUS...it was second Hand!!! Thank you for your wonderful clarity!!!! I am saved!!!! It is finished...gone👍🏽💙💙💙🐕🐩🤗
Hey Garrett 😊 I took your advice and only yesterday I removed all my wallpaper borders... They''d been there for at least 25yrs ... eeek! I organised a carpenter to install picture rails next week .. woo hoo ! 😊 Thank you so much for your advice
Ahhh the dreaded recliner. All designers hate them and all client hubby's love them. I have had to concede more times than I can count because the husband insists on a recliner. The best I can do is look for ones that don't look like recliners and have nice clean lines. It's a battle that's just not going to be won in the world of design, I'm afraid.
Ahahahah so spot on for furniture set, blinds, resting chair recliner. 😂 The blinds are so gross btw all dusty and rusty ewww The barn door part was hilarious! 😂😂😂
LOL! I think I have all of this in my house. I know, I know. I've lived here a year, and I'm going room by room and cannot renovate fast enough. I've ignored the main living spaces because that's getting a major demolition and start over, so I haven't touched it. Popcorn ceilings, valance, mini blinds, vertical blinds, I have a faux distressed piece I picked up cheap at a thrift store...it lives in the garage. And I am desperately trying to convince my husband that the recliner is so so tacky in all it's cheap faux leather slouchy blobbiness, but its not working. Maybe I can work it into his office somehow? Meanwhile I'm trying to find something with a bit more eye appeal for when I get to the living room. I know, I'm commenting on an old video and you'll never see it. Oh well. Love your work!
Thanks for sharing Melissa! It sounds like you have ideas and a plan to create the space that’s going to make you happy. That’s awesome and it’s fine if it takes time. Glad you enjoyed the video. 😁😁😁
I wish I could put a pic of these horrible los my mom (passed this year at 89 yrs old😪) has in the living room of her house in which I currently reside. The lamps have those oval shaped crystal baubles hanging from them. The furniture has that velvetish-velour covering which is French provincial kind of(also very 70's, which is when she last decorated) covering, which I think with the right window dressing and lamps, I can make work. I just think the lamps ought to go, but I don't know what to replace them with. She has the valence thing going in there, too, which I will get rid of NOW, since you said that would be best
Welcome to the channel Patricia! It’s great to have you as part of our very valued subscriber family! I’m glad you are enjoying our content. Much more to come. Happy Holidays!🎄🎄🎄
Garrett I love your show...Your enthusiasm is wonderful...Your show is the first of its kind I have watched. Love your BLING...I definitely am not a decorator but I love the word eclectic...That covers my style...of course at 75 what else could it be...I think everything you said that you should not have I have but I love the way you say it. You name it I have it...Teal couch of course it is suede leather. Recliners 3 leather not all in the same room. I do try to disguise them with throws. Rugs oriental I love them so when we move they must fit into the new home. Now I have two runners in living room with other oriental rugs. I do have a few things you would like Waterford crystal glasses, silver and lots of blue and white...I love what you have done to your home. Love your doggies and I wish you great success...Oh I bet no one else has four life size geese in their living room. They came for Christmas and have stayed...
I agree with all of these. Vertical blinds just scream cheap motel or rental. I also hate the divided light windows where the squares are made from metal strips between the glass panes.
Welcome to the channel Bella! Thanks for watching and subscribing. We appreciate it. There over are 50 videos in our library and much more to come! New video coming out at noon today. 😀😀😀
@@GarrettLeChic Thank you Garrett, so happy that I found your channel, I was struggling with a vertical blinds or curtains thanks to you now I know the answer, you are the Best !!
Interior design can be great but What most people end up with, for financial reasons, is a combination of your stuff when you were single plus your spouses, plus hand me downs from parents/friends. It is mismatched and looks meh, but is functional and you live with it…. Great videos and you have a nice personality BTW…🙂
And I'm about to build and install a wooden valance above my patio door XD But it's not for design, I'm fine with just a curtain rod (took down the vertical blinds the place came with), it's going to be a cat run to get them from one side of the room to the other! But Garrett would also hate the cat shelves on either side, and the cat tree right in front of the window. And I just put in newer ceiling fans (with enclosed LED lights rather than the bulbs the ones from the 80's had) that really do help keep the AC costs down, even in KS. Just need to add a recliner and I'd have a place that would make Garrett explode XD.
I deserve that!😂 But in all honesty anything for our pets is fine with me, if I had cats I would totally be the person with a kitty gymnasium in my house!
The barn door craze, subway tiles and open kitchen shelving, was heavily pushed by many of those home renovations shows. All three are NOT timeless, attractive, or practical as those designers always gushed.
I also have a recliner with clean lines not big and puffy. I will say if you’ve ever had to have surgery and found yourself in a lot of pain while healing a recliner can be a big help. Easier to get up from then a bed, elevates legs and it just felt better then trying to lie flat.
I agree. My grandmother had double knee replacement. However, in the video I did not say I disliked all recliners. I showed examples of stylish recliners I did like. 😃😀😀
I am a new subscriber! You are giving me life!! Informative and entertaining, keep up the great work!
Welcome to the channel! Thanks for watching and subscribing. 😀😀😀
I love the fact you tell people to get vintage furniture. So much more environmentally friendly, and you can find really unique fun pieces!
Thanks so much! I believe we need to truly consider the environment with our design projects. There are many landfills covered with failed trends some "designer" pushed.
@@GarrettLeChic literally a huge difference can be made by reusing used furniture especially in usa where we have soooo much

Me as a cat punishing you for assaulting my eyes😹
That's why I love your videos!
Are these the same as Venetian blinds? They seem to come and go over different periods.
Mini blinds are similar to venetian blinds, but they are 1 inch wide slats made of vinyl or painted aluminum. They were popular in the 1980s and 90s. Now I have wider wooden blinds with straight drapes at the sides. I made my drapes to coordinate with the blinds...much better.

I'm so glad my husband is a contractor... Adore my solid wood pocket doors. I do love barn doors though, on barns! 😂
I used to live with my 90 year old grandmother and she had a recliner. It really helped her with mobility issues. She could press a button to help her get up and press another button to lay back comfortably. It was super ugly, but other than it's practical use it was the most comfortable chair in the house! 😩

If you decide to add wallpaper, for the sake of all that's Holy, make sure the surface you are putting it on is appropriately primed/painted.
Wallpaper applied to bare drywall CANNOT ever be removed without damaging the drywall underneath. Eight remodels later, I've learned to just pull it down asap.
Garrett, I agree with you about mini-blinds, they suck. But, I’m old enough to remember what mini-blinds replaced: nothing! Taped-up Brown paper or newspaper, or bed sheets held up by thumb tacks. Cheap rental units were improved by mini-blinds, and they were cheap enough for most stingy landlords.
Ugh! Good thing you have choices now Carolyn. :)
I remember having vinyl roller shades before mini blinds. Those weren't great looking either and they were either up or down. Mini blinds were an improvement because then you can turn them to let in some light.
Want to distress things, get a cat!
😄😄😄😄😄😄
Or go to the Goodwill or Salvation Army stores, much cheaper and some of them have the Pettina that most people like.
Hah Hah!! As I watch this, I am reupholstering a very expensive chair that my beautiful kitty has shredded to pieces!!!
Or kids
😹😹😹
I have always hated the bulky look of recliners! My husband of almost 40 years had always wanted a recliner but I resisted until last year when we bought two “Stressless” recliners that are of Scandinavian design. They are incredibly comfortable and work well with my Transitional design style. I kept all the upholstered furniture in the room the same cream color and it works for now. When you get close to 60 years old you deserve less stress! (The recliners are a cream color in leather and they are very “un-bulky”...)
I just looked them up, I think they are great! They still have that relaxed look but are so elevated!
I got the vanilla stressless recliners & ottomans last summer and they are very comfortable but I’m hating the dye transfer from clothes (black clothes or jeans…) - any tips?
I have had these for almost twenty years. Am sitting in one right now. They are so comfortable and not bulky
Lafer Gaga leather recliners are our choice. So sleek. We got them in red and paired them with our beige sofa.
@@micheleboyd7592 did you contact the company and ask why this is happening? Do they advise using a fabric guard?
I can only imagine what my hubby would do if he came home and his ugly, comfy recliner was no more! That would not be a nice conversation! 😡😂
We don’t want to upset anyone. I am just sharing my ideas and opinions. 😀
You always make me laugh with your facial expressions and hand gestures …LOVE THEM 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks. Have a great rest of your day ☺️
Glad you enjoy them! sometimes I just can't help myself!😂
Buying faux distressed furniture is like buying jeans with holes ripped in them.
I've never liked either one!
Or acid washed jeans blech
I dont understand distressed anything, whether it be real or faux. Why would I want something with the paint coming off it? I like fully painted and crisp looking furniture.
I still love avocado, orange, deep pink and turquoise from the 60s but agree that wallpaper borders ewwwww!
I'm so happy I spent a little bit more money to install pocket door instead of barn door....
You put in a pocket door post construction?
Yes kaththee. The house is only 500sqft, I need to maximize every inch of the house 😂
@@sitiazleen Did you recess then into an existing wall?
My wall is concrete, so I added additional plywood (compressed wood) wall in front, in order to make the pocket.
One of the door, I design it to recess into my wardrobe.
If u are not able to add wall up to ceiling, u might need to build a frame for the railing system and lock. Hope it helps.
Wow, I bought a house with pocket doors and I want to get rid of them and install regular swinging doors, pockets are too noisy.
Ooh - guilty of the wallpaper border in the 90s!
I absolutely loved your barn door rant!
Really great points. I am against overly plump small pillows with scratchy fabrics. Also wall-to-wall carpets. Finally overly dark rooms.
Someone’s style is very personal, and we have no idea what a person’s circumstances dictate for them. I have a really pretty sofa that’s horribly uncomfortable, so won’t make that mistake again! I also have some distressed pieces of furniture and a few beautiful antique pieces handed down from family. I’d say my style is eclectic. If you visit to see spend time with me that’s great! If you visit to see how I decorate and tell me what’s wrong, please just stay home!!!!
I recently bought two leather swivel chairs. You would never guess that they are also recliners. Best of both worlds, and they are super comfy.
I live on a farm in an 1820s farmhouse. My husband and I DESPISE the new lumber barn doors some people put up 😂. If other farm houses in our area have excessive barn doors we say the house has had the “live, laugh, love” treatment.
I love everything you said and guffawed when you mentioned the wallpaper borders! Thank you for presenting information in a realistic and educational way rather than other channels who do nothing but shame people for their design choices. (Or lack of choices in many instances.)
As an artist, I sincerely appreciate your dedication to using art as an integral part of design. I see far too many homes with bare walls and they just feel...hollow. Also - totally dig the painting in your dining room!!
Oh gosh I so agree, Valances are so 80's...unless you need that color up there to bring a formal room structure with high quality fabric boxes, I love full length curtains, and I love when they just touch the floor and rest there so pretty. I especially adore velvet, voile, organza with a beautiful geometric pattern or the more modern Moroccan looking lace knits and some high end European laces. Valances may serve a purpose in a laundry room or a kitchen window where you want to look out but you could also do a sheer that you could open if needed.
I’ve learned that the more trendy your design - the worse it will look down the road. I worked at a paint and wallpaper store years ago when hunter green and burgundy were very popular. I cannot stand hunter green and burgundy to this day.
We sold some BEAUTIFUL wallpaper that would still work today.
And we sold some of the ugliest wallpaper you can imagine - some people just have bad taste. Lol These geometric wallpapers, tile floors, and emerald green color that is popular worry me. They will look dated very quickly.
Absolutely spot on about that Burgundy & Hunter Green 🤢🤮 so 80’s…. 🙄
Man, I thought I was the only one out here condemning “hunter green” I hate that color so much! Our carpets were hunter green, the sectional (which was of course hunter green, taupe and burgundy) as was their bedspread, the curtains and a million other things she picked out for my dad’s house bc my stepmom was a tacky jerk in the 90s 🤮🤮🤮.
I moved out of that green and mauve and cream colored hellscape at 17 and hunter green has _never_ been allowed in my space since, not even little things.
Let's add the orange/brown/cream combo to that also. I am systematically removing that from a 1985 manufactured home my dad had at the beach. I refuse to purchase anything brown. Or orange.
That’s why I don’t advocate jumping on trends but decorating in a timeless manner. Also, it’s most important that a space reflects the person’s taste not a trend.
Guilty!!! I have dinner plates that are burgundy and hunter green. I feel bad getting rid of them because they were the first things we picked out for our wedding registry.
I bought a beige Lazy Boy leather recliner 30 yrs ago and we all still love it. A few years ago, I almost put it up for sale but just couldn’t do it. It’s still like new!
That's ok. As long as you like it, that's all that matters. Happy Holidays Catherine. :)
@7:54 Garrett's expression is a whole MOOD!
Garrett, you are always spot on! I discovered you recently and am catching up on many of your videos! I love your advice, but your humor makes them even more special. I was laughing out loud when the picture of the Vertical Blinds came up in this one.
Welcome to the channel Sherri! I’m glad you are enjoying our content. It’s great to have you as part of our very valued subscriber family! 😊😊😊
You crack me the hell up!!!😝😝😝 where do I start. Detective movie floored me. Of course, The Barn Door. The Recliner. You’re a crack up and I love to watch you work.
Excited to see if country blue with geese made the list in any fashion
(It's my pet peeve. I lived through the fake country fad in the 80s and was apparently a little traumatized by it.)
Ha! I have a recipe box (for the youngsters, that’s a box which holds 3x5 cards with recipes written on them) with those country geese on them! Someone gave it to us as a wedding gift. 1987 😉. I still use it even though it’s falling apart.
You could probably cover it in contact paper and it might even make it sturdier at the same time it gets a facelift.
Just a thought.
OMG not the country geese!😂
Anyone else remember the cement geese outside the front door? There was a whole clothing line for them. Still can’t figure out why anyone thought it was a good idea.
If I can't manage to feel comfortable and relaxed sitting upright on a comfortable couch then it's time to go to bed not buy an ugly piece of furniture, lol. New subscriber here :) I have had almost all these ugly dated things back in the 80's and 90's but am happy to say this grandma no longer has any of these tacky stuff going on.
Welcome to the channel! I’m so happy you are watching and subscribing! Much more to come

Love that you don’t tell everyone to just buy buy buy.
“I’m not gonna be that person who says don’t get the set. Yes, you don’t need the entire collection but a couple pieces can be cohesive.” You saved me a headache.👏 👏
Yes! For my bedroom, I bought a wooden nightstand and a dresser but then a bed from a different collection rather than the matching bed. Six years ago and still loving that decision.
I have the matching bedroom set. For some time, I haven’t liked the room but it wasn’t until now that I realized it was because it all was matchy-matchy. Good luck explaining to my husband why I now need to get rid of ‘perfectly good’ furniture. 😂
Omg!!! “Detective Movie” vibe. I literally laughed out loud. Too funny.
Love your delivery .. you crack me up 😆
Totally agree w all!
I'm going through and watching every single one of your videos that I've missed. you are my absolute favorite designer on UA-cam! I vibe with your personality! So blunt and funny, I've learned so much! Thank you !
Wow, thank you! I truly appreciate that. It's great to have you as part of our very valued subscriber family. If you haven't already, please turn on your bell notifications so you know every time I upload a video.
@@GarrettLeChic I went back and turned it on! Always looking forward to a new video (:
You and I are always on the same page. You always cheer me up! Thank you Garrett!
You are so welcome!
Very cute and funny delivery! When you're like this I tend to listen a little more carefully because you have drawn me in. Nothing like having a little humor when discussing a serious subject i.e., "barn doors,". 😃
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed. Please take a moment if you haven't already to support the channel, and join our very valued subscriber family. :)
Something that I saw a lot during my home search that I NEVER thought I would see in 2022 was carpeting in the bathroom. One person even had a carpeted tub surround. 😳🤢 PLEASE, make that go away.
Good Morning Garrett. I finally got a moment to watch one of your videos. I am really looking forward to watching the other ones. You are an absolute delight! You're really enjoyable to watch and listen to and your advice is spot on. I completely agreed with all your points in this video. How could we ever have done half those things????? Too funny. It's like mullet hair cuts or wearing leg warmers...just wrong! Again - thanks...very entertaining and informative.
Canadian Cath
Awesome! Thank you!
I love a good valance but like you mentioned it only works in specific settings and that is a full on victorian vibe. In any other setting I'd find it a very heavy treatment.
I agree! There is a time and a place for everything, a valance just doesn't work everywhere!
I LOVED this video! You are HILARIOUS! I laughed so hard...AND I agreed with you on all of your points! BRILLIANT video and observations!😊❤❤
Thanks so much! I’m glad you are enjoying our videos. 😀😀😀
This is not a movie theater if you have a movie theater love that for you, invite me over ! Lol 😂 Love Garret phrases.
I'm glad you do.....but seriously if you have a theater invite me over😂
O yeah love his phrases
Although maybe not quite as dated as valances, I think tieback drapes also look dated. I like the clean look of the fabric hanging straight.
I could not agree more! What was ever with that? Like are they going to run away?😂
@@GarrettLeChic 😂🏃🏻♂️
@@GarrettLeChic Tiebacks are sometimes needed by people who open their windows. Blowing curtains can sometimes knock things over.
I disagree. I made valances of a sea foam green/gray/cream pattern material with sea foam green sheers and matching tie backs. It brightens up my small room yet provides privacy. To each his own.
I still love Mario Buatta. How to refresh and still remain so????.
LOVING the blue in your set up, Garrett 💙 Sapphire blue is also my favourite to decorate with so I love that you have it all over your home!
Thank you! I was trying something different with my filming setup! I'm glad you liked it!
Mine too! 💙
I agree with almost all of this. The recliner has to stay. I hunted for months to find one that not only matched the living room but was comfortable for my husband without being gross. Most are super surprised it reclines. And bet he gets his nap in when hes worked a hard day.
Thanks for watching! Like I said in the video there are some really well done recliners so I’m definitely not totally against them. 😀
@@GarrettLeChic Oh trust me. I was so against having the typical 90s dad over sruffed recliner that takes up so much space. Ironically its actually the one made for my couch. But i didnt find it for almost 6months. Showed up at the furniture store from another. I didnt like the leather options with my couch. The furniture store guy called me and goes we got the other chair option. Picked it up that day.
I found on Wayfair, a recliner that was a very near twin to my small upholstered, skirted rocker, was listed in the nursery section (i.e. it is small) of furniture made by Klaussner. So now I have 2 small navy blue, soft, (near twins) upholstered rockers in my living room, one of them just reclines! I am 4'11". I hate big upholstered stuff! My living room is only 18 x 19 feet, with a fireplace taking out a chunk and now a mahagany desk as it is also my office.
My 2 rockers stay as well as my upholstered box valance over my sheer grommeted curtains. I love the soft rolls of pinch pleats, but hate messing with installing traverse rods. Grommets are wonderful. No big swags & jabots with tassels as a valance.
You are soooo entertaining - your attitude made me laugh out loud! You made your point and I so agree

Recently I had the pleasure of removing a wallpaper border in my mom's house. It was actually pasted on some type of board and nailed to the wall surrounding her living room, and it had been there for about 15-20 years. She let me redo the whole room, and it made me so happy to burn that border along with the weird rail things she glued to her kitchen cabinets. Now I just need to get her to part with the red corduroy double recliner.
I need to hire you…the previous homeowner of our new 1926 craftsman bordered every single room, except the two bedrooms that are wood paneling (they have to go too…)…but I’m overwhelmed just by the borders. I almost feel bad because she even stated during closing she would miss the borders she worked so hard on. My 73 year old mother even thought it was overdone.
Down filled cushions? You'll be carting me off to emergency room for mega rashes on my body. Highly allergic.
I never liked recliners either. I had back and neck issues starting in my 20’s and went shopping for a good quality chair and found one that suited me as I do a lot of reading. It was a leather wingback and I still love it 30 years later. My husband wanted a recliner but I find it awkward to watch TV in and prefer the versatility of a sofa or comfortable chair.
I hate the look of my recliner too but as the other person said, it is the most comfortable chair in the house. My dogs love to snuggle and rock with me in it so I guess I will just say I’m the one who has to live here and look at it. Garrett I would like you to know that I so appreciate your approach as you educate us about design. I often feel anxious after watching some other youtube designers but with you I feel empowered to express my own style in an informed way that is more likely to turn out the way I want it to. Thank you so much!!
I appreciate your comment and understand where you are coming from. I even listed recliners that I felt were stylish. We really love having you as part of our subscriber family!
😀😀😃
@@GarrettLeChic I will look for those. Thank you so much again for everything!! ❤
I’m so glad I found you! This adulting is overwhelming at times. I mean I grew up wearing school uniforms and struggle to make a cute outfit much less put together an entire room or home. I want to go into this with a good sense of what to do and not do.
Welcome to the channel Chelsea! I'm really happy you are part of our subscriber family! There are more than 50 videos on the channel you can check out with tons of great information, and much more to come!
I also would like to see alternatives that arent too expensive. Especially for the mini blinds and verticals in front of a patio door. For barn doors I would like to see barn doors that look more modern and not so barny. For example, I'd like to have a sliding door that I could use to close off my galley kitchen that is suitable for a wall garden of herbs - maybe slats that would look good with or without the plants.
I have seen doors that are similar design to our ugly barn doors, with outside mount (instead of a pocket door,) with a wood valance across the top concealing the ugy mounting hardware. Less expensive than having a carpenter open up the wall to carve out space for a pocket door, but not with the barn vibe!
Love the humor about the barn doors, that was funny.
I agree with everything. The only thing I would add to the list is the fabric upholstery protectors that you get when you buy a new sofa or chair. They always look awful, never cover the arms correctly, just poof up. I throw them away or carry in my purse to match drapes, pillows, etc.
At least you put them to good use! Instead of an arm protector can we just wash our hands?😂
@@GarrettLeChic true🤣😂🤣
I bought a dining table and the matching buffet because I was obsessed. I’ve never bought a set and of course I have different chairs but I could not stop. Had to have
If it makes you happy that’s all that matters. I’m just giving opinions and perspectives to consider based on my tastes. There is no right or wrong. 😊
Oh, yay. I'm 61 and don't have a single one of these anywhere in my home. I have been changing things toward a boho look but missed all this!!
Personally I don't hate barn doors, I like it when it is used appropriately, but I feel like they lack the privacy that is needed, especially how it is conveniently used in front of the bathrooms. In the cottage I live, we renovated the bathroom space to meet in the tiny hallway yet was lucky to have the right space to put in a pocket door to save the space in the hallway and bathroom. The pocket door has privacy and I'm not worried it will come off the track like barn doors can.
Barn doors are great in lofts. They have a great industrial feel there and just look great and work.
Key word when used appropriately. Good comment. Thanks. 😃
I do agree to some degree about the Valances and someone mentioned tie back curtains looking dated. However, personal choice and taste, I grew up with that look and our house was very grand. I still to this day love that look. (Not fluffy ones but very tailored cornice treatments). Thanks for your videos
I totally agree, a clean and tailored valance is gorgeous! I’m just not a fan of a ruffled with fringe contrasting pattern valance!
I just got rid of a sofa that didn't fit my living room. I had two other pieces that matched. They would look nice in someone else's home. Our living room is small. One needed to go.
I'd rather have bangs than a valance. :-D Fun video! And I'm more than thrilled to say I don't have any of those things. I probably have other dated things, but at least I don't have those dated things...
LeChic approved!......For now👀
New subscriber here! I don't know how I found you, but I'm glad I did. I love love love your tips and how you explain everything so it makes sense to us non-designers. Keep up the good work!!!
Welcome to the channel Leni! Thanks for supporting our channel. 😀😀😀
I am not a plain or modern kind of person,I still like traditional,I wish I could get into some of the newer trends but they don't seem to appeal to me
We definitely come too far Garrett's
Always enjoyed your videos
That thumbnail omg 😆😆😆😆😆. Love it!!!!!!!
New scriber here. Oh my goodness! you hit my biggest pet peeves on the head. Thank you so much. This video was very satisfying. Boarder paper. UGH When I was looking to buy a home I would just move on if I saw boarder paper. The house should be free if it has boarder paper. And who has a room large enough to even fit an entire bedroom set. I think\hope the sets are made so we can pick and choose which pieces work for us. Did buy a home that was mostly left in the 80's with gold metal mini blinds through out. Price was great and no boarder paper. Beautiful custom made drapes in the bedroom. No valances, ruffles or unnecessary add ons. Bit by bit I took the blinds down. I had to do it in bits as I could only fit so many in the trash bin each week. Thirteen windows worth. And I could count on being very happy each week. Did check recycling and none was to be found. Ok, so not a fan of a recliner and I inherited a new sofa. Still had the tags on. Nice style for me. What I never noticed, until someone told me, was that it had zero clearance recliners at each end. I'm ok with it, as you cannot tell just looking at it. My current home is 950 sq ft. so wheeling out the tv to watch a movie by the fire in my hidden recliner is fine. No one has to know.
Welcome to the channel Twill! I love how you are working with your new home, and I wish you much happiness. It sounds like you are doing some awesome things to make it your own. Happy Holidays!🎄🎄🎄
This was so good I had to watch it again!
Yay! 👻👻👻
We have mini blinds! But I agree with you and we do plan to change them at some point.

Yay! Thank you! Welcome to the channel. It's great to have you as part of our very valued subscriber family Paige! :)
Can you please do a video on selecting area rugs? Not just size, but what they are made of, pattern, just do a remnant? I need two large area rugs for a shared dining/living space so that our dog doesn’t slip all over the floors, but don’t want to do matching rugs. In other words, can you please come do my tiny new home? I’m hopeless with the important elements like area rugs & window treatments.
I’d love to help you personally but I just don’t have any free time working on the channel plus other ventures my husband and I are working. For me to do that would be so expensive that I would hate to even quote you. I like real Turkish or Persian area rugs but will consider your suggestion for sure. Thanks.
My husband says he loves our vertical blinds. I loved them in 2002 to give us privacy and it kept our dog from ripping curtains. But that doggie years ago, so I told him I am getting curtains!!! This video proved to me that I'm right! Love your channel!
That is awesome! Thanks for watching, and supporting our channel by subscribing Pam! :)
Hallo dear Garrett!!! I Made a BIG mistake buying a pre-distressed Dining Rooms Set!!! HIDIOUS...it was second Hand!!! Thank you for your wonderful clarity!!!! I am saved!!!! It is finished...gone👍🏽💙💙💙🐕🐩🤗
You are so welcome!
I am doing a marathon on your videos. You are awesome,
Yay! Don’t forget to hit the subscribe button!😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉
thanks, i was one of those people who like valances but no more. i wants my house to look fancy .you are great
I love furniture sets! Also did, always do. But I do mix it up here and there with a complimentary piece that isn’t part of the set.
I agree with you on all this stuff, YES ! I am glad you get it ! GOOD stuff , Say NO ! to all these out dated crap.
Hey Garrett 😊 I took your advice and only yesterday I removed all my wallpaper borders... They''d been there for at least 25yrs ... eeek!
I organised a carpenter to install picture rails next week .. woo hoo ! 😊 Thank you so much for your advice
Sounds fabulous! Thanks for watching. 😀
Ahhh the dreaded recliner. All designers hate them and all client hubby's love them. I have had to concede more times than I can count because the husband insists on a recliner. The best I can do is look for ones that don't look like recliners and have nice clean lines. It's a battle that's just not going to be won in the world of design, I'm afraid.
"Go live in a barn"
I'm howling
😂
🤣🤣🤣
Ahahahah so spot on for furniture set, blinds, resting chair recliner. 😂 The blinds are so gross btw all dusty and rusty ewww
The barn door part was hilarious! 😂😂😂
Please no more barn doors....I cannot go there anymore....where did this idea come from? love your videos and learn so much.....thank you
Thanks so much for watching and subscribing!
😀😀😀
@@GarrettLeChic It is my pleasure. You are an excellent teacher and I enjoy the humor too. Have a wonderful day!
LOL! I think I have all of this in my house. I know, I know. I've lived here a year, and I'm going room by room and cannot renovate fast enough. I've ignored the main living spaces because that's getting a major demolition and start over, so I haven't touched it. Popcorn ceilings, valance, mini blinds, vertical blinds, I have a faux distressed piece I picked up cheap at a thrift store...it lives in the garage. And I am desperately trying to convince my husband that the recliner is so so tacky in all it's cheap faux leather slouchy blobbiness, but its not working. Maybe I can work it into his office somehow? Meanwhile I'm trying to find something with a bit more eye appeal for when I get to the living room. I know, I'm commenting on an old video and you'll never see it. Oh well. Love your work!
Thanks for sharing Melissa! It sounds like you have ideas and a plan to create the space that’s going to make you happy. That’s awesome and it’s fine if it takes time. Glad you enjoyed the video.
😁😁😁
I wish I could put a pic of these horrible los my mom (passed this year at 89 yrs old😪) has in the living room of her house in which I currently reside. The lamps have those oval shaped crystal baubles hanging from them. The furniture has that velvetish-velour covering which is French provincial kind of(also very 70's, which is when she last decorated) covering, which I think with the right window dressing and lamps, I can make work. I just think the lamps ought to go, but I don't know what to replace them with. She has the valence thing going in there, too, which I will get rid of NOW, since you said that would be best
NOT a movie theater! 😂 Amen!
Barn door...barn door...I am not mad at a barn door but....LOL. Love this video. Thank you and subscribing now!

Garrett I love your show...Your enthusiasm is wonderful...Your show is the first of its kind I have watched. Love your BLING...I definitely am not a decorator but I love the word eclectic...That covers my style...of course at 75 what else could it be...I think everything you said that you should not have I have but I love the way you say it. You name it I have it...Teal couch of course it is suede leather. Recliners 3 leather not all in the same room. I do try to disguise them with throws. Rugs oriental I love them so when we move they must fit into the new home. Now I have two runners in living room with other oriental rugs. I do have a few things you would like Waterford crystal glasses, silver and lots of blue and white...I love what you have done to your home. Love your doggies and I wish you great success...Oh I bet no one else has four life size geese in their living room. They came for Christmas and have stayed...
Lol agree with all but the reclining sofa 🤣🤣 that's how we are comfy and we are movie buffs
. My husband and I are movie buffs too!
😀😀😀
Yes,yes,yes!….everything you said is exactly true..excellent advice,..
Thanks so much! I’m glad you are enjoying the content. 😀😀😀
I agree with all of these. Vertical blinds just scream cheap motel or rental. I also hate the divided light windows where the squares are made from metal strips between the glass panes.
Just found your channel, love your videos !!

@@GarrettLeChic Thank you Garrett, so happy that I found your channel, I was struggling with a vertical blinds or curtains thanks to you now I know the answer, you are the Best !!
Interior design can be great but What most people end up with, for financial reasons, is a combination of your stuff when you were single plus your spouses, plus hand me downs from parents/friends. It is mismatched and looks meh, but is functional and you live with it….
Great videos and you have a nice personality BTW…🙂
Thanks much! We appreciate your support of our work and channel by subscribing. :)
And I'm about to build and install a wooden valance above my patio door XD But it's not for design, I'm fine with just a curtain rod (took down the vertical blinds the place came with), it's going to be a cat run to get them from one side of the room to the other! But Garrett would also hate the cat shelves on either side, and the cat tree right in front of the window. And I just put in newer ceiling fans (with enclosed LED lights rather than the bulbs the ones from the 80's had) that really do help keep the AC costs down, even in KS. Just need to add a recliner and I'd have a place that would make Garrett explode XD.
I deserve that!😂 But in all honesty anything for our pets is fine with me, if I had cats I would totally be the person with a kitty gymnasium in my house!
The barn door craze, subway tiles and open kitchen shelving, was heavily pushed by many of those home renovations shows. All three are NOT timeless, attractive, or practical as those designers always gushed.
I was just looking up valances and decided to go with a Roman shade!
Have never liked barn doors! Also hate the walls covered in wood (ie pallets).
Garrett, you are awesome!
ThNks so much! I’m glad you are enjoying the videos. It’s great to have you as a subscriber!
😀😀😀
I also have a recliner with clean lines not big and puffy. I will say if you’ve ever had to have surgery and found yourself in a lot of pain while healing a recliner can be a big help. Easier to get up from then a bed, elevates legs and it just felt better then trying to lie flat.
I agree. My grandmother had double knee replacement. However, in the video I did not say I disliked all recliners. I showed examples of stylish recliners I did like. 😃😀😀
