My rule is I buy only things I LOVE. Liking isn't good enough, being a space filler or the right color isn't good enough. I have some handmade decor items I bought 50 years ago and I still LOVE them.
The moment you brought up the extra throw pillows, my husband yelled from across the room "THANK YOU GARRETT"! He hates them 😂 Love the brutal honesty, we need it. You are the hero we don't deserve!!!
I got it all- stems , wine racks, bar with decanters, balls of all kinds in a bowl. And a vintage ashtray. It’s all the things I love . I like stuff. Oh and I have cut down on pillows , just three on bed , so that’s good . Also, no fake flowers in bath . I’m keeping my Balls
@@JanetPrato two weeks ago, p got rid of all the dust collectors to clear my space; including a liquor bottle my brother had on display when he once lived with me. Never wanted the empty bottle as a display piece but never complained. Now I can clear and declutter my space.
The ashtrays that don't look like ashtrays are perfect for chocolates/ pralinés. Especially cute in a guest room. Just 3-5 cute chocolates, maybe a cloche over them.
I don't personally have dried branches but after seeing your photo of the black furnishings, white wall, with the delicate tracery of black branches, I have to disagree. Those branches are the perfect foil to the stark heaviness of the setting.
Nothing worse than a jar filled with dried moss balls! We set up a home tour with our fresh arrangements. I accidentally knocked into the homeowners display of those. The moss flew onto the console and onto the floor!! She stood over me while I tried to wipe all the debris up. I now associate mean rich ladies with moss spheres 😁
Those little dish trays are great for placing your earrings or necklaces where you quickly place in at the end of the day. Later you can go back and put them back in your jewelry box.
As someone who has family members with chronic pain, having a ton of pillows and blankets allows them to get as comfortable as they can.. and the pain location changes, depending on the day. So many different types of pillow are needed. I'd say have the pillows, but, maybe, put some in closed storage if you don't need it at that time.
there is room for need. question is ..does the usability of this item overtake the extra effort to move it out of the way when not used. By all means.. if it is useful... its all about making your home balance clutter/ease of use/decor...to your taste.
I normally don't listen to videos like this BUT my goodness you are right! It's not about what's not in trend anymore, it's about curating your space! Made me think for sure!
I’m getting rid of throw pillows. I keep one on each couch for resting and I only put a couple on our bed when we have company. I’m really over un peeling and taking everything off the bed every night. The older I get the more intentional I get about what and how much is sitting on the surfaces. The easier to dust the better.
Garrett…I have an excellent use for those little wedge wood ash trays. Keep them under your small oil bottles and your pepper grinders that are in your cabinet. It will catch any escaping pepper or oil, thereby keeping your interior cabinet clean. Every once in awhile I take those little dishes out and wash them, then return them under my grinder or oil bottle. It looks nice and neat, serves a function, and allows you to collect more if you enjoy those tiny “ashtrays.” 😊
Totally agree! And after all that towel drying and hair blow drying, the room becomes the next dust bowl. I want those countertops with the least amount of stuff as possible.
This is such great advice, Garrett - taking a look around now and then, and asking yourself, "Why is this here? Do I use it? Am I sick of cleaning it or looking at it?!" And not every surface and empty spot needs _something_ let alone layers of stuff ✨
Another fun video! Love your critique of pillow overload, artificial floral arrangements in the bathroom (yuck), alcohol on display, decorative ashtrays. We part ways when it comes to decorative balls. Spheres/round objects have been displayed in bowls and on trays for centuries -- faberge eggs (okay, not quite round, haha, but certainly not useful!), baccarat crystal spheres, marble spheres. They're no longer on trend, but I've always been drawn to expensive, round, objects.
At last! Someone speaking out about alcohol on display. I watch several H&G channels on UA-cam (but you are my favorite) and even in the smallest interiors, there is a bar cart taking up valuable space. I do not need my house to scream "open bar" to anyone who stops by. Thank you for being the voice of reason
I have bar cart that I love but we entertain a lot and although we really don’t drink hard liquor we indulge in fine red wine with at our dinner parties once a month and it’s in our formal dining room which is the only time we use the dining room
Cool empty alcohol bottles can be repurposed. I have a few that I put oil in and keep on the kitchen counter for cooking. Other than that, I agree 100%.
Haha. I remember going through my Mom’s home with her and teaching her how less is more. She let me curate a bit and it looked great. Now she’s gone and that is a tender memory.
Oh my word you read my mind about all those pillows! I watch all the decor shows and there's always too many pillows but I've never seen anybody actually say it. Bravo!
I have an old alcohol bottle, it's green glass and might have been a wine bottle, that is over 50 years old. I use it as a change jar. When it gets full, I take it to the bank and cash it in. It was something that my dad had and he also use it as a chain star. It has sentimental value.
I used to collect vintage ash trays, large weird shapes. They were sometimes useful for keys and such. Now I am much more minimalist they are gone. At least I didn't put moss balls in them.
You are a HOOT! How can we have so much fun while hearing the drop-dead truth? Listen to Garrett! Dead branches, dead flowers, an overabundance of tchotchkes and dusting more than drinking! All TWEW! Tell it like it is Garrett.... especially getting rid of the dozens of dust-catcher 'ornaments' that are mostly in the $20 range and just clutter. UGH!
I overloaded my sofas with pillows. My nephews would come over and after a short time 1/2 of them would be on the floor. It was OBNOXIOUS. They weren't trying to throw them it's just they were all in the way, and because my sofas are leather the pillows were constantly sliding off. Now I have just a few. And they get used and are not in the way.
This video made me realize I still had what once were two live eucalyptus branches I got for the holidays but still had sitting around but is now dried out. This was a great reminder to toss them...which I did.
But your ashtrays are little pieces of art and there is history behind them. They encapsulate a different time of life and culture. I have a few beautiful ones that were my moms on display , naturally they remind me of her and make me smile. Love you and your channel. You are honest to a fault and I’m here for that.
*Bar carts, Branches and Balls....Oh My* . I despise bar carts especially glass ones, they are a nightmare to clean. I love using branches in my arrangements. I have several faux willow branches than can be manipulated into fun shapes, I love the the organic whimsy they add. I don't hate the balls, I like them in a decorative bowl or rustic dough bowl. Keeping my moss and twig balls for color and texture. 😜
Garrett, I love your comment about the throw pillows. I never really understood that trend. Just something to throw off your bed when you get in it. Or get in the way of sitting on your sofa. Annoying. Don't mean to insult anyone who loves them. 😊
I don't like foods in glass on display because daylight degenerates its quality. I don't like alcohol specifically not on display because it reminds me all the time of drinking, it is an incentive to drink more.
I use my old ashtrays under my small plants. They catch water and save the table or counter top! I also had a huge blue glass ashtray I got as a wedding gift in 1977 that I finally sold in a garage sale. Someone actually paid $5 for it!
I just bought a crystal rose for a small corner on my sink vanity in my bathroom. Didn't want faux flowers in there. Also, just love the art work behind you. 😊
THE moment he said alcohol on display, i glanced right over to my dining room with a wine rack and little bar with liquor, and me and hubby don't even drink any of it!!! Lol I have long wanted to move that crap. Just hadn't. I don't know why we just didn't stick them upstairs in the entertainment room on the bar. It's perfect for that location but not in my beautiful dining room, which looks luxurious except for that crap😅 getting rid of all that wine and liquor tomorrow.
Drawers, drawers, drawers for all base cabinets even if a pantry cabinet. Makes so much more effecient storage for everything in the kitchen. That makes so much sense about the dishwasher location.
Buying a big bouquet of mismatched flowers on sale can be pulled apart to make several smaller ones in each room, especially if they are the kind that smell great
Its okay I have a single ashtray in my house too. Its a US Senate ashtray. My late uncle used to work for a senator when they passed the no more smoking inside the capital. He got a few of those ashtrays and gave it to members of my family and it was passed on to me.
I agree with everything you said. But the wine bottles once you done with them you could donate them for people to mod podge them into GREAT designs. You'd be amazed what they can to with them.
Garrett, my mother used her wedgewood ashtrays all the time. Seems horrifying now, but 🤷🏼♀️ Also, if you want to display liquor, fine crystal decanters are fine with me. I find empty bottles pretentious.
The issue with some crystal decanters is they are lead crystal and actually toxic to store alcohol for long periods of time. When I learned that, I sold the ones I owned. Now we just display liquor in their own bottles, the home bar is its own feature. But we don’t keep empties, because, why..?
New subscriber. Started cackling when you started in on the balls discussion, and was waiting for an extension into the wood bead tassels, massive chain links, excess vessels, books no one reads, or in general, cluttering spaces with useless tchotchkes.
I have a bowl with balls in it on my dining table.🤣🤣🤣just the other day, I was thinking it's time to put something else in it or get rid of it...I do agree about the pillows. too many takes the beauty away of each pillow. Especially if you have designer pillows
I agree with many things you covered in this video. I don't know about you but I worry about what insects are in & on the tree branches & live greenery that people bring into their homes. On the ash trays I have a couple that hold my watercolor brushes when I am painting. I like the look of the var carts with pretty glassware but we don't drink so no cart for us. Hope you are having a great week.
Oh dear, I've fallen deep into the gauche category as i have pillows on the floor, look at the accent wood and wicker balls and try to figure out how to dust the eucalyptus branches.
I can’t move for laughing here 😂 I’m in the UK 🇬🇧 and when you said ‘Balls in a vase’… it sounded like ‘Balls in a face’ hahaha. We pronounce vase as ‘vars’ here, that’ll make me laugh all week long. Thanks for cheering me up, another great vid 😘
Thanks so much! Great information and honesty is what you get here. I’m actually a formally educated interior designer so I’m happy to share what I learned in college, and the past decade in general. Please take a moment to support the channel if you haven’t already and become a subscriber. I appreciate you! 😊😊😊
I need to get rid of the 4 big ones that came with my couch!! A remote box has been on my radar forever!!! Yes, who wants to dust all those bottles and glasses.
I LOVE you even more in your villain era Garrett!!! This advice is just what we need! On a personal note, when you encouraged viewers to subscribe, I thought, “Oh, I hope sweet Albert makes an appearance!” Then I remembered. I can only imagine how you feel Garrett. We love you Garrett, and hope the memories of Albert will be a comfort during this time of loss. I hope Albert is wagging his tail furiously and running around with sight and hearing restored in heaven! We miss you Albert.
You are absolutely wonderful! All of this makes sense and I’m definitely more about easy home than fussy decorative home. I’ll be running around the house purging junk for the next hour
Thank GOODNESS no extra throw pillows. I have always had an aversion for throw pillows. They usually wind up on the floor. No one will ever put them back.
"there's a time and a place for a good set of balls" hahahahahahahahaahha🤣😅😂🤣🙃🤣😇 That said, I do add a handblown glass ball (created locally) to the top of my vases to keep dust out of them. It's consistent in each vase so the repeating visual element works, but then since my husband is allergic to flowers, no vase in my home ever gets flowers or branches arranged in them - real or fake.
I live right in the middle of wine country. I could care less about wine or really most alcohols just don't do it for me. I might have two or three drinks a year. So I am not going to waste my money on a wine cellar or big wine display. But I have seen some really fancy ones. Lots of money tied up in those bottles. They better hope we don't have an earthquake.
I need to get new throw pillows. Mine are ugly and old. My dog has tons of toys, but destroys all kinds of stuff in the meantime, including my pillows. She'll be 2 next week. That bed has way too many throw pillows. It's cluttered.
My rule is I buy only things I LOVE. Liking isn't good enough, being a space filler or the right color isn't good enough. I have some handmade decor items I bought 50 years ago and I still LOVE them.
Love that!
Me too !!! I have to love it…
@@corteltubeyep that’s me also. What I like. Not what someone thinks.
I have dried lavender stems in a vase in my bathroom. Makes me smile because I grew the lavender.
That's lovely. 😍
That's nice... but when there's more dust than plant it's time to chuck it. 😊
And lavender smells good and is relaxing and can be changed out-smart choice for a restroom
I def agree about the bar being a tucked away cabinet.
Me: "I bet none of this is going to apply to me.." Garrett: "Get rid of the extra throw pillows."
Me: 😬
🤣🤣🤣
😂 hahaha this post made me laugh out loud!
Same here.
The moment you brought up the extra throw pillows, my husband yelled from across the room "THANK YOU GARRETT"! He hates them 😂
Love the brutal honesty, we need it. You are the hero we don't deserve!!!
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed. 😊
@@CGC1954 So true!!! The fact you need to throw them on the ground to be able to use your bed/couch is enough to not want them.
😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤
@@MarriedWithPizza as an elder . . . use all of mine for comfort.
One item of decor I will never understand is the string of wood beads with tassel on the end draped on a coffee table! Why?
Right? When Garrett mentioned the balls, I immediately thought of the wooden beads.
Why not?
I have one on my dining room table 😅 Just needed something in my tray and figured why not.
They don’t have cats 🤷🏼♀️
Meditation beads.😊
I've never been into trends. I style my home with what I like and what looks appealing to me.
That’s awesome because I don’t push jumping on trends.
Me too

that reminds me of dusty ass potpourri that was everywhere in the 90s 😂

Ha, I have that exact crystal decanter that was in the photo you displayed. I keep it in my bathroom with mouthwash in it.
I think bathrooms are the dustiest rooms in the house, so to me, that’s the last place for plants/florals should be.
Totally agree! And after all that towel drying and hair blow drying, the room becomes the next dust bowl. I want those countertops with the least amount of stuff as possible.
This is such great advice, Garrett - taking a look around now and then, and asking yourself, "Why is this here? Do I use it? Am I sick of cleaning it or looking at it?!" And not every surface and empty spot needs _something_ let alone layers of stuff ✨

Garrett, the problem with the balls is we all own beautiful bowls and can’t figure out what to put in them ! :)
Nothing
A beautiful bowl was created to look at not to be filled
Unless it’s a popcorn bowl
Is potpourri a total no-no, if you don't put all the balls and sticks and wood type pieces in it?
@@desireelaurelli4579I wouldn’t put potpourri in mine because I don’t think it looks good. If you like it in the bowl, go for it.
I sometimes put lemons or other fruit in mine. I don't have balls.
Bah ha ha there’s a time and place for a good set of balls!😂😂😂😂. How did you say that with a straight face. Omg I’m howling. Love your humour!
🤣🤣🤣
So funny!! I had a wonderful laugh out loud! 😂❤
OMG, 😂, I actually have a set of 3 different wooden balls that I used to put in a vase. I don’t use it anymore, prob because I thought it was ugly.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
YES to “Less is more!”

St. Germaine bottles 🌟 😍 🌟
Mouthwash.
Don’t scream but my parents that are older still have fake ivy about their cabinets! I can’t! 😂
Lol... mine too❤
Lol!!! I always hated it! Dust collectors!
Haha. I remember going through my Mom’s home with her and teaching her how less is more. She let me curate a bit and it looked great. Now she’s gone and that is a tender memory.
I thought accent balls were a LONG time ago, and wooden beads followed them.
Oh my word you read my mind about all those pillows! I watch all the decor shows and there's always too many pillows but I've never seen anybody actually say it. Bravo!
I needed this video today! I am so ready to declutter stuff😁 Thank you!!!,

We have fresh flowers in our home. Sourced from a certain Big Box retailer each week. Roses usually. They look great. We put them in different vases.
Sounds great!
I'm 30 seconds in and already feel attacked. Sobbing on my mountain of throw pillows rn 😂😂

I used to collect vintage ash trays, large weird shapes. They were sometimes useful for keys and such. Now I am much more minimalist they are gone. At least I didn't put moss balls in them.
“Villain error” I love 💜 that for you!!!
I just threw away the fake flowers I have in my bathroom. 10:15
You are a HOOT! How can we have so much fun while hearing the drop-dead truth? Listen to Garrett! Dead branches, dead flowers, an overabundance of tchotchkes and dusting more than drinking! All TWEW! Tell it like it is Garrett.... especially getting rid of the dozens of dust-catcher 'ornaments' that are mostly in the $20 range and just clutter. UGH!
Thanks so much Page! Great to hear from you. 😊😊😊
So glad you're embracing your villain phase. You convicted me on the throw pillows! I love your cool box solution to the mystery balls.
Agree..and everyone is shopping for the same trendy stuff..and decoratating like everyone else..be you, unique... Decorate with what you love...ugh
I overloaded my sofas with pillows. My nephews would come over and after a short time 1/2 of them would be on the floor. It was OBNOXIOUS.

Thanks so much! Great information and honesty is what you get here. I’m actually a formally educated interior designer so I’m happy to share what I learned in college, and the past decade in general. Please take a moment to support the channel if you haven’t already and become a subscriber. I appreciate you! 😊😊😊
@@GarrettLeChic I will subscribe. Looking forward to viewing your videos and added humour .
@@maggiefisker994 Awesome! Thanks.
I always agree with you. In this video I especially related with the decorative balls, or the fake plants/florals in the bathroom. Ugh!
My friend loves Chinese Blue Willow. She uses the ashtray as her spoon rest at her coffee station!
I need to get rid of the 4 big ones that came with my couch!! A remote box has been on my radar forever!!! Yes, who wants to dust all those bottles and glasses.
I LOVE you even more in your villain era Garrett!!! This advice is just what we need!
On a personal note, when you encouraged viewers to subscribe, I thought, “Oh, I hope sweet Albert makes an appearance!” Then I remembered. I can only imagine how you feel Garrett. We love you Garrett, and hope the memories of Albert will be a comfort during this time of loss. I hope Albert is wagging his tail furiously and running around with sight and hearing restored in heaven! We miss you Albert.
Thanks so much for your lovely comment!🐕🐕🪽
Spot on advice delivered with your witty charm🌟. Would love to see a video about your thoughts on displaying couple / family / travel photos. 🌞
Thanks so much! I’ve discussed family photos in previous videos.😊😊😊
@@GarrettLeChic Thanks so much. I’ll look for that video 😊
I subscribed because you are hilariously truthful! I'm learning and laughing!
Yay! Glad you are enjoying. Welcome to the channel. It’s great to have you as a part of our very valued subscriber family.🤩🤩🤩
I just got a sweater that looks just like yours delivered yesterday 🥰
Love your content! Thank you!
Hope you like it! Thanks so much.
You are absolutely wonderful! All of this makes sense and I’m definitely more about easy home than fussy decorative home.
I’ll be running around the house purging junk for the next hour
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the video. I appreciate you supporting the channel.
Thank GOODNESS no extra throw pillows. I have always had an aversion for throw pillows. They usually wind up on the floor. No one will ever put them back.
I'm so glad that I don't have any of these decor faux pas on my house. Great video Garrett! ❤
Thank you!! 😊
"there's a time and a place for a good set of balls" hahahahahahahahaahha🤣😅😂🤣🙃🤣😇 That said, I do add a handblown glass ball (created locally) to the top of my vases to keep dust out of them. It's consistent in each vase so the repeating visual element works, but then since my husband is allergic to flowers, no vase in my home ever gets flowers or branches arranged in them - real or fake.
Best quote ever!! 😂😂😂
I love your narrations ,you state it .. and you own it !
Wow, thank you!
The one kitchen clip looked as though they raided the old set of Gilligan’s island to style the room. 😂
I live right in the middle of wine country. I could care less about wine or really most alcohols just don't do it for me. I might have two or three drinks a year. So I am not going to waste my money on a wine cellar or big wine display. But I have seen some really fancy ones. Lots of money tied up in those bottles. They better hope we don't have an earthquake.
Ugh… the empty alcohol bottles and also the empty perfume bottles some ladies keep 😫
I just tossed out 2 empty shoe bottles, Carolina Herrera..Good Girl..🙂
I need to get new throw pillows. Mine are ugly and old. My dog has tons of toys, but destroys all kinds of stuff in the meantime, including my pillows. She'll be 2 next week. That bed has way too many throw pillows. It's cluttered.
