I enjoyed your videos so so much you have no idea. There is so much information out there but it wasn't until I found your channel that I actually understood what I was hearing and could run with it. And your personality OMG! Sassy but not rude. Thank you so much for your hard work! My family and I are moving this month. I'll still be working from home mostly so I would love to receive some advice on how we can incorporate an office into a 12 x 12 bedroom in a way that still keeps the resting and relaxing purpose of a bedroom. Thank you so much again!
That’s a great question! The channel is growing fast but of course we want to grow even faster. My goal is to share the knowledge I gained over the past almost 10 years in interior design and decorating practically and from getting my college degree in the subject. Time is precious and I’m not going to waste my subscribers’ time with fluff and just regurgitating what’s trending on social media. I’m proud of the fact that we have so many subscribers like you who are very intelligent and don’t have time to waste and thus appreciate having fun watching our videos and getting useable and helpful information at the same time. Mel, thank you for being on this journey with us in creating the premier interior design channel on social media. It’s going to happen, and we are willing to put in the time and resources to that end. 😊😊😊
One of the interesting things I've noticed about your design-- it's timeless. . . classic. I took my design classes in the late sixties (when it was in the Home Economics department, believe it or not) but much of what I learned way back then, I hear you reinforcing. I've always said, "in a world of change, quality endures."
Garrett, you never, "ramble on.." We watch your channel because we all enjoy what you have to say. Every word that comes out of your mouth is either, intelligent, informative, or enjoyable! You just keep doing you and we will continue to watch! :)
Thanks so much Thresa! I can certainly create spaces that could be in magazines, but most people can only take inspiration from that type of content. I like to give everyone a mix of the inspiration and the practical. We appreciate having you as a subscriber. :)
Another great video! You’re teaching us great tools, things others are not addressing. Selfishly asking will you, can you address lighting in open spaces, I know you said lighting is coming (squealed with delight)….I am struggling with how to pull all the lighting together without being too matchie match. Lighting for me is so intimidating. Thanks again for sharing
SAME! Open floor plan but I don’t want my living room with the same ‘matchy’ fixture. And it’s a ceiling fan, too. I do use mine occasionally during the summer, but just can’t find one I like to replace it….not my style, but not really offensive. I need help.
Love this channel. I like how you provide other content than regurgitating “trends” that are on every channel and showing what Target is selling this season. You actually discuss interior design. Bravo!
Another great one! Your home looks like it is ready to be photographed for Traditional Home. I always wondered why I was never impressed by 99% of the other UA-camrs who call themselves designers …. it’s because their homes//spaces are just full of Instagram trends…definitely not Traditional Home ready. I still can’t figure out how you don’t have millions of subscribers.
Yay! Auggie Doggie’s Mommy. Thanks so much. Well, we are growing fast but of course want to grow faster. The channel got monetized and I started working full time on the channel just a little more than 7 months ago and we have grown over 300 percent. I think if we would have started the channel in the middle of the pandemic we would have been much bigger by now, but you know our subscribers are so engaged and we are so proud and honored by the level of engagement we get already and I think that’s because our subscribers hit that subscribe button because they really love the content and intend to keep in engaged. We love you and all our subscribers, and we are going to keep producing content that’s worth your time. The pups say hello! They always put their ears up when we say Auggie Doggie’s Mommy! 🥰🥰🥰
LOVE LOVE LOVE your blue Waterford bowl!! I would love a video about lamps and lamp sizes, lamp shade designs to use and avoid. I purchased a lamp at Home Goods today that I saw in your video from the spring and absolutely adored. But overall, I find lamp purchasing to usually end up with mistakes once I get them home. Wrong lamp size....Wrong shade size, wrong shape for the space. A well placed beautiful lamp can make the whole room come together...and the wrong lamp can ruin just as easily. Please guide us!!!
Yes!! I would love an episode on lamp size and shape, shade size and shape, placement in the room and the table / support for the lamp. And how to run cords thru a room so the back of the floating furniture doesn’t look like a gamer’s set up! We recently moved in a coastal home with huge windows looking over the water in every room. Didn’t want to block the view at first, but the huge rooms and high ceilings dwarfed my little low lamps and the open space didn’t work. I discovered it was more important to get the lamp and scale right in the room even if the view had items “in the way”. Your eye still goes to the view and the room looks great when you bring it back in.
I bought nice down pillows for my bed a few weeks ago and YES, it makes such a huge difference. Ordered more of them for my throw pillows on my couch. Goodbye polyester pillows. Not gonna miss them! 🙈 Also thanks for the reminder that it is our homes and not a photoshooting space. Always important to hear to not lose motivation because it just doesn't look like in the photos. Yeah well... Because it just CAN'T look like that. And that's okay. 😊
"Staged styling from one angle" answers the question why you can't recreate the magazine page look in your own home. Most people would rather have a functional, beautiful space for real life instead of a staged, showcase space that is unused.
You are right about this not being a hobby or side hustle if you are serious about the craft. This is a huge passion for me. I went to college and earned my degree in interior design. There is so much more to this than sourcing pretty pieces and regurgitating what's trending on social media or just focusing on telling people about your own style. Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Come through, Prof. LeChic! These little chats give me so much more confidence in owning my own aesthetic. At our previous home, I was a young bride and wanted to impress the "Grown Folks." In this new home, I'm a "Woman of a Certain Age" and I'm going to be me, and help my husband be himself (within certain aesthetic boundaries... lol). We were already on an okay design track, but we now have food for thought and understand how to elevate this place from moderately cool, to freaking FABULOUS! Thank you!!!
Bravo....another great video. I sold my house recently. When we were preparing the house for the sale, realtors were advising me to stage my house by removing "personal" items, which I am sure they meant clutter. I wasn't about to take away the family photos that meant the world to me. The house sold the first day it was on the market! I took courses in the early 80's in interior design and all the things that you say are good, sound design principles I remember learning and then forgetting because I watch too many design videos on UA-cam. I found your video refreshing. Garrett, I may have told you in a comment that my husband has dementia and in the mornings when we start the day, I turn on UA-cam (which we call Sharon TV) to watch you and some others I follow. And it's so hilarious because he calls you my boyfriend! I gently remind him I could be your grandmother!!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with your subscribers. I have seen your channel grow and I hope that trend continues.
What a lovely and heart warming comment! I even showed that one to my husband. I’m glad I can bring some joy as well as useful information into your life. It makes me very happy. We are going to keep working hard and producing top quality content and investing into our channel. We are currently building out and curating pieces for our new home studio. I’m glad you and your husband are on this journey with us to create the premier interior design on social media. Hope you are both enjoying the fall season. 🎃🎃🎃
@@mulliganstew72 no. I just de cluttered. My house was fully furnished and agent was happy with it. The company took tons of pictures. I downsized to a townhouse rental unit I can find something that suits us. At 68, I can’t start over!!! Good luck’
Thanks Erika! Honestly, I prefer being a content creator and sharing with all of you every week. We are going to create the premier interior design channel on social media hands down! I love being home with my husband and dogs working on our projects. Doing interior decorating for others is very time consuming and can take you all over the world and yes it would be very, very expensive.
Garret I’m a new subscriber and love your videos. You’ve got the perfect combination of sassy attitude and great content. Wishing you all the best for your channel!
Just a hope for the lighting video you’re working on. Can you please give some suggestions for making lighting in a space look consistent? Having a difficult time trying to find an overhead, sconces, tasks and table lamps that I like without buying the matching set of everything. And yay more Albert always!! 🐶💕
Garrett, the content in your videos is always helpful and I really appreciate your design knowledge...but one of the things I most appreciate is your sense of humor and style, big hug dear!
Thanks so much! Im glad you are on this journey with us in creating the premier interior design channel on social media. We appreciate you and always will! Our subscribers mean everything to us. :)
Excellent discussion on the nuts and bolts, so to speak, of the job. Brought up a couple of memories...at my second interview for a position with an Ethan Allen franchise some twenty years ago, the general manager asked what I thought the most thing was in meeting with a potential client. I said, "To listen." I saw by the look he exchanged with the store manager that I had nailed it. Got the job...still miss the work.
I’m so glad you created this video! I kept trying to create my room to somewhat mimic the magazine photos & felt like a failure. I finally decided the photos were an unrealistic goal which is precisely what you’ve been saying. Yay to my dog bed & her toy box! I have been working around a dark teal worn in hand me down leather sofa & loveseat set to look nice until we can afford a new set in a different color. Love your channel & thank you!
As always...Excellent advice to decorate accommodating your lifestyle! I applied this in my bedroom and my ugly CPAP machine. I chose a night stand with deep drawers to accommodate my CPAP. I drilled a hole inside the drawer to run to power cord. At night I simply pull out the drawer to access the face mask. Daytime....all I have to do is fold the mask and hose back into the drawer then close the drawer. Albert....💓💓💓💕💕
Alberts 2 second appearance steals the spotlight once again. He’s just too precious. 😭 But really, you give some of the most sound advice on here! I also have a pretty classic/traditional style and I had gotten so used to seeing the super modern sleek all white type of style on here, you are so refreshing to see and have also helped me to realize how much I was subconsciously being influenced by certain people, those who basically think if your interior isn’t all modern and white like theirs then it’s “ugly”. For a minute I was starting to wonder if I was doing something wrong or tacky because I just naturally gravitate towards more traditional style pieces. But seeing your space has shown me that no, traditional design can be made current, and is beautiful. I really appreciate your channel!
Thank you!!! I love my family photos. People who visit love seeing my family/history/memories. It makes for great conversations. The grandkids love it. Gives them a sense of their ancestry & they do ask questions. My bedroom is full of pictures & my family photos downstairs are confined to a large curio cabinet. It's not like you walk in my house & there's my wedding photo but my photos are out & on display & will stay there.
"It's also more than just regurgitating all the trends you see online, but that's not the point." Hahahaaa, you crack me up. 😜 I am looking forward to seeing your reveal videos.
Aha moment…. Put a basket by the bed for clothes I’m whipping off at night or in the morning. I never thought about how just a couple items of clothes laying on the floor are the first things that greet me and say ….”really? On the floor? I’d much prefer to be loved in that rattan bed over there!”
I literally feel like I'm sitting on the other couch chatting with you, binging and giggling with your comments. I just went to check my pillows and they are subtly chopped too LOL
Hello, I am your new member of the channel. I live in Croatia, in Zagreb and I use Google translator because I don't know English, so I'm sorry if there are any typos. I like your channel, and you are special to me, very distinctive in an acceptable and charming way. I love decorating my home, so I’m always on the hunt for a new idea. I wish you a lot of success at JT. Please can you tell me which JT channels you like and recommend? Thanks in advance. Best regards!
Welcome to the channel Ana! Thanks for watching and subscribing. On UA-cam I like Rebecca Robeson. She is very talented and also formally educated in interior design as well as being very experienced. Rebecca is also a real and highly regarded interior designer. She’s definitely worth watching in addition to me of course LOL 😀😀😀
Fantastic advice Garrett! Albert is soooo sweet. I would like to know how to take ideas from an inspiration room and apply it to your own room. I found a living room I love that looks nothing like the room I will have in terms of architectural features but the shape is the same and I love the furniture and accessories they used and it is the same vibe as my room. I am having an issue deciding what to spend my money on to make the biggest impact. Thanks for all you are doing for us!
Lighting is so important! I remember our old home was so depressing because the lighting wasn't adequate. Parts of the room were left dark and it felt wrong. I complained to my Dad and insisted that it better not be problem in our new home. I did had to my scold him for the terrible choice of paint though, (Sky blue and brown, like why???) Had him get it fixed the very next day (I told him that all the brown should be painted white asap!). He may be the man of the house, but he really has no eye for aesthetics.
I went around karate chopping bowls full of glass beads, it gave it that gorgeous, on-its-side, devil may care, table of chic clutter vibe. 10/10 recommend!!
Thanks for the reminder that a magazine picture shouldn’t be the goal, it’s just not livable. I’m redoing my living room and it’s easy to get caught up in trying to make it “perfect” instead of homey.
Really like the relaxed, informal vibe of this video, and your down to earth comments about how life is really lived. At the same time, the beautiful things around me in my home make me so happy, and help me to live life to the fullest.
I always make a fresh cup of tea before starting your video 🍵 I look forward to these teachings and techniques to curate a home that represents me and my lifestyle not a magazine photo 😊 Another great video Garrett.
I've been loving your advice on design and styling and I've been binging your videos while trying to redesign my living room--I was wondering if you could do a video (or even a small series!) about the different design styles (art deco, modernism, boho, etc), the history of them, aspects from each that you might consider "timeless", and how to fix cliche mistakes people tend to make when trying to style their rooms in a particular way. I can't wait to see how this channel grows!!
Awesome! Thank you! I certainly try and cover as many design styles as possible and we will be discussing more in upcoming videos. Thanks for watching and subscribing. We appreciate your support!
When you wrote about styling rooms for photo shoots I smiled. When a whole house or several rooms show up in photos I always look to see if accessories are moved from one room into another. I often find something.
Yes!! I look for this too, nearly always see something reused. I like to make a mental note where the corner of a table or couch is located in the room when several rooms are photographed and you can tell it’s thru a doorway or window. Hmmm, where’d that bowl go?…
I just spent the last two years redecorating my home. Paint, floors, furniture, lighting, and art. The whole thing. It’s beautiful and I’m content with what I did. My question is, how do I make it look lived in, and not perfectly staged? I live alone, and so it’s not messy. If I have a cup of coffee, I take the cup away when I’m finished. There are no newspapers to leave lying around since I read on my iPad. I make my bed so that the room looks finished . If I’ve used a throw, I fold it after I’m finished using it (usually) I like a neat look. I’m not sure how to make it look more Lived in, without it looking like I’m a slob! 🤷🏻♀️ looking forward to your take on this,,, thank you.
It's hard to say Randie without seeing your home. Adding character- It's important to have items that are important to you, that have meaning to you displayed throughout your home. I have collections and other items that have important memories interspersed throughout our home. Also, its okay not have everything perfectly neat, not that I like a mess. I try to mention these things often throughout my videos.
"I want to see the mess in your house" I think I started to sweat just thinking about that happening 😂 on a side note, I look forward to another video helping viewers fix their spaces! I have one to submit...but I'll clean it first 😬
New subscribers here. And yes I agree with you on the messiness you want to see as a designer. As a hairstylist, I never want to give my clients a haircut where they will not be able to style everyday. That’s party much setting them up for failure.
Welcome to the channel! It's great to have you with us on our journey to creating the premier interior design channel on social media. Thanks again for watching and subscribing. Much more great content to come!
One thing I've noticed is that you speak so fluently. Never an um or ah. Or maybe your husband edits them out? Another really informative video. I am learning so much from your channel. Look forward to every new video.
Thank you! It's just the natural way I speak. Apparently, there is minimal editing that has to be done by the editor who is not my husband. I'm glad you are enjoying the videos. Much more to come, and a new video will be post tomorrow at 1:00pm Pacific Standard Time which would be of course 10:00pm in France.
Designing a home to how u live. Yes!! I have chronic illness n pain so this is essential. So many talk about the Instagram fast fashion trend not living in the space. I love u talk about the cleaning aspect for looks. Aging in place and day to day things we need like the bin in the kitchen dog toys baskets. Thankyou for sharing ur knowledge and wisdom helping us all to make our spaces luxurious and comfortable. ❤
I recently subscribed and I’m a little obsessed! I have learned so much from you already. You are so talented, easy to listen to, entertaining, and not annoying at all…that’s hard to find! Thank you!
Thanks so much Paula! I’m glad you are enjoying the videos. Welcome to the channel. It’s great to have you as part of our very valued subscriber family!✨✨
Hi! New subscriber here! So happy to find this resource. My living room is mostly neutrals and I’m switching it to glam with jewel tones so I need all the guidance I can get!
Welcome to the channel Blondie! Thanks for watching and subscribing. We are happy to have you as part of our subscriber family. One of the things our newer subscribers do is go to the channel and watch past videos. There are about 50 or so, and of course that needs to done over time or we get a lot that will binge watch, and we even had someone tell us they had a party just for people to watch our videos which was a huge compliment. However, there is a lot of great information to be had, plus we are making new content every week. :)
Any chance you will ever give us a home tour? I hope that doesn't sound stalker-y but... would love to see your aesthetic applied to hallway, stairs, kitchen, etc
Thanks Sandy! After the renovation process is fully completed I will most likely do a home tour. I did a dining room reveal, and the new home studio is almost complete and that will be revealed because starting with the video being post tomorrow the videos are going to be filmed in the home studio going forward.
Why do I simply detest overhead lighting ANYWHERE!?! Yes, dimmers are absolutely critical, but I have always preferred lamps, be they table lamps or floor lamps or wall sconces. The only overhead 'lighting fixture' that I will tolerate is a chandelier of some sort over a dining table. And THAT needs to have several -- minimum 5 -- 'arms.' The reset lighting might be an option, but since I don't have it, LAMPS, LAMPS, LAMPS! Garrett, can you change my mind on this?
Welcome to the channel Terri! We are so happy to have you as part of our valued subscriber family. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. A lot of my newer subscribers are going to my channel and as they have time watching the more than 50 videos we have already done as they are full of helpful information. Of course, we post new videos each week as well. :)
I'm a relatively new subscriber, recently widowed and dealing with significant "deferred maintenance" that just happens to include replacing really lovely wood ceilings that suffered from water and insect damage. (I live in Central America where the rainy season lasts 8 months and the insect season lasts 12.) At any rate, the ceiling color is going from a warm wood tone to white, which, of course, changes everything! But your discussion of lighting just convinced me to go ahead and order a "statement" ceiling fixture. Originally I was going to wait a bit and "live with" the new ceiling, but you convinced me to go ahead and order it. With a dimmer switch, of course. I appreciate your expertise -- and I love your blue and white porcelain collection!
Welcome to the channel Brandy! So happy to have you as a subscriber! I’m glad my video helped you. I’m sorry for your loss, and I’m sure over time you will get your house looking just as you like. Don’t forget we have over 50 videos now on our channel for you to watch and much more to come. I think you will find a lot of useful information and inspiration in the videos. Take good care of yourself. -G 😊😊😊
Welcome to the channel! We appreciate you supporting us and becoming a subscriber. That means the most to a content creator. I'm glad you are enjoying our videos. Much more to come.
I just love your space. The antique wood furniture is chef’s kiss. I’m redoing an actual late 1800s farmhouse. I demoed it down to the studs this summer. Horsehair lath and plaster. The plumber, builder, and electricians are now in. It’s getting to the fun part. Facebook market place has been my friend. Found solid cherry kitchen cabinets for 1500$ and an amazing pair of cherry built ins that are 9ft tall each one with original glass from the 1800s for only 300$ for both. One is going to be my kitchen pantry the other with the glass by my rock fireplace. I also have an original wood beam. I’m so excited and you are giving me so many ideas and inspiration. Thank you so much.
Bingo. I wear the dress; I do not let the dress wear me. I’ve always found it funny to go to a friends house and find every surface looking perfect until I need something from the laundry room…or the closet…then the truth of where all their stuff is hiding comes out!
I was happy when you mentioned family photos. I have a lot of art on my walls, but those photos of the people I love here and there mean so much to me.
Amazing content! No matter what video you do, you always have a way of delving into the subject matter in a truly unique way. Your videos approach design in a lasting and functional way.
Garrett, I love your approach. Would you consider sharing what color you used on your walls and woodwork? And, where did you get those blue velvet pillows?😘😘😘
Hi Sarah! Thanks for watching and supporting us by subscribing! Most of this home is done in Sherwin Williams Greek Villa. However, we are having select rooms painted and adding color. I can't remember if I had them custom made or I bought them on Etsy.
I am looking forward to your lighting video! For the past year I have been redesigning my living room. I am nearly finished, but as you were talking I realized that a chandelier would be the finishing touch. I have adequate lighting, but I have high ceilings and a hanging fixture would be the icing on the cake. Thanks for the inspiration!
Yay! Welcome to the channel. It’s great to have you as a part of our very valued subscriber family. I post videos on Thursdays at 1pm and Sundays at 10am, Pacific Time. 😊😊😊
Perfect Sat morning. Garrett: "Grab a cup of coffee" Me: "One step ahead of you" Very useful video as always. Also, I kept studying Garrett's cardi, it looks so comfy and stylish. I might knit one like that for myself.
I love your videos. Always both informative and fun. I'm looking forward to seeing more on lighting. It can really set a mood as well as allowing us to see in the dark. 😁 I'd enjoy seeing how you decorate for the holidays. I'm not big on constantly changing things around either. Once in a while I will try what I have in a different way and wonder why I hadn't thought of that before. That's part of the fun though. It also opened my eyes to the fact that what I have in different rooms are interchangeable. That tells me that over the years, I must have developed my own style. Imagine that! My rooms"flow" . Take care.
Got a small dark, blank corner? Add a tall plant with interesting foliage and put an uplight on the floor that will cast some interesting shadows on the wall at night. Instant artwork!
Thank you for the tips! I wonder if topics like how to incorporate your partner's taste in a space can be done, like, with examples if possible. Also, children transitioning to teens and then to adults, how to think about this process and decorate their spaces accordingly and not feel like I'm living in a daycare nor them in a black and white movie (black and white kids' rooms are not it for me)
Oh my goodness! Garrett! I feel like I’m this video we “connected” even though you don’t know me. How I wish we were friends. These are one of the best design advices I’ve heard. I’ll have to watch again. Plus…. Watching you with your babies is so adorable! Love them!
I'm glad you enjoy our content! Though I realize all of you don't get to see me or talk to me and my husband, please know we truly care about and appreciate our subscribers very, very much, and our way of showing you is to produce useable and practical content versus fluff and just regurgitating what's trending on social media.
New subscriber!! Fellow trained and experienced interior designer, NCIDQ, CKD, CBD, CAPS !!! You are always right on the money!! So MANY you tube 'designers' have NO FORMAL TRAINING!! They might be good but I always look for some one who took their time and money and put it where their mouth is! You give a ton of 'master class' lessons and don't try to bleed you viewers for 'exclusives'. Keep it up and Carry On!! ( and I'll keep watching and learning!!)
Thanks so much Luane! I’m glad you are enjoying the content. Much more to come. Welcome to the channel. It’s great to have you as part of our very valued subscriber family!😊😊😊
Most of your stuff can live at my house too. I love your style and you are the only designer I can listen to without rolling my eyes. I do have one question- where can you source good reproduction furniture- similar to some of your pieces- I have a couple but have a hard time finding them.
Wow, thank you! Almost all of our furniture is Theodore Alexander which is one of the finest furniture makers in the world. The quality, design and finishes are impeccable. We purchased from a retailer which of course aren't everywhere but you should be able to find one in or around major cities. I'm not sure where you live, but their website might list local retailers. Also love Baker, Ralph Lauren Home, and Jonathan Charles just to name a few others.
I enjoyed your videos so so much you have no idea. There is so much information out there but it wasn't until I found your channel that I actually understood what I was hearing and could run with it. And your personality OMG! Sassy but not rude. Thank you so much for your hard work!
My family and I are moving this month. I'll still be working from home mostly so I would love to receive some advice on how we can incorporate an office into a 12 x 12 bedroom in a way that still keeps the resting and relaxing purpose of a bedroom. Thank you so much again!
Thanks so much! I'm glad you are enjoying our videos. Much more to come. :)
Who is watching your videos and NOT subscribing? I learn so so much from you and I’m entertained at the same time.
That’s a great question! The channel is growing fast but of course we want to grow even faster. My goal is to share the knowledge I gained over the past almost 10 years in interior design and decorating practically and from getting my college degree in the subject. Time is precious and I’m not going to waste my subscribers’ time with fluff and just regurgitating what’s trending on social media. I’m proud of the fact that we have so many subscribers like you who are very intelligent and don’t have time to waste and thus appreciate having fun watching our videos and getting useable and helpful information at the same time. Mel, thank you for being on this journey with us in creating the premier interior design channel on social media. It’s going to happen, and we are willing to put in the time and resources to that end.
😊😊😊
So true. His sense of humor has me laughing a lot. Plus, I love his dogs.
One of the interesting things I've noticed about your design-- it's timeless. . . classic. I took my design classes in the late sixties (when it was in the Home Economics department, believe it or not) but much of what I learned way back then, I hear you reinforcing. I've always said, "in a world of change, quality endures."
I agree! 🙂👍
Styles may change, but the principles of design endure!
So true!
Garrett, you never, "ramble on.." We watch your channel because we all enjoy what you have to say. Every word that comes out of your mouth is either, intelligent, informative, or enjoyable! You just keep doing you and we will continue to watch! :)
Well said. I totally agree.
Thanks so much! We love having you subscribed to our channel. We appreciate your support, and please know it hasn't gone unnoticed.
Hahah so true !!
@@GarrettLeChic thank you for your kind words. :)
HARDCORE designer! that's who you are , Garrett! and a very generous one,too!
hello, baby Albert!
This is what I call “logical” living…. We do not all live on film sets, I love that you address “real” homes👍🌺✌️
Thanks so much Thresa! I can certainly create spaces that could be in magazines, but most people can only take inspiration from that type of content. I like to give everyone a mix of the inspiration and the practical. We appreciate having you as a subscriber. :)
Another great video! You’re teaching us great tools, things others are not addressing. Selfishly asking will you, can you address lighting in open spaces, I know you said lighting is coming (squealed with delight)….I am struggling with how to pull all the lighting together without being too matchie match. Lighting for me is so intimidating. Thanks again for sharing
I have the same problem in my open space plan home. I’ve been here 4 years and still trying to get used to it
Great suggestion! Thanks for watching and subscribing. We appreciate it. :)
SAME! Open floor plan but I don’t want my living room with the same ‘matchy’ fixture. And it’s a ceiling fan, too. I do use mine occasionally during the summer, but just can’t find one I like to replace it….not my style, but not really offensive. I need help.
You are so normal! Thank you for talking to us normal people. I would like to see your home tour, I like the timeless classic look you have.
Love this channel. I like how you provide other content than regurgitating “trends” that are on every channel and showing what Target is selling this season. You actually discuss interior design. Bravo!
I'm so happy you are enjoying our videos! We love and appreciate having you as a subscriber. :)
Another great one! Your home looks like it is ready to be photographed for Traditional Home. I always wondered why I was never impressed by 99% of the other UA-camrs who call themselves designers …. it’s because their homes//spaces are just full of Instagram trends…definitely not Traditional Home ready. I still can’t figure out how you don’t have millions of subscribers.
Yay! Auggie Doggie’s Mommy. Thanks so much. Well, we are growing fast but of course want to grow faster. The channel got monetized and I started working full time on the channel just a little more than 7 months ago and we have grown over 300 percent. I think if we would have started the channel in the middle of the pandemic we would have been much bigger by now, but you know our subscribers are so engaged and we are so proud and honored by the level of engagement we get already and I think that’s because our subscribers hit that subscribe button because they really love the content and intend to keep in engaged. We love you and all our subscribers, and we are going to keep producing content that’s worth your time. The pups say hello! They always put their ears up when we say Auggie Doggie’s Mommy!

Wow! So glad to hear someone address the karate chopped pillow. I’ve always thought it looked ridiculous.
LOVE LOVE LOVE your blue Waterford bowl!! I would love a video about lamps and lamp sizes, lamp shade designs to use and avoid. I purchased a lamp at Home Goods today that I saw in your video from the spring and absolutely adored. But overall, I find lamp purchasing to usually end up with mistakes once I get them home. Wrong lamp size....Wrong shade size, wrong shape for the space. A well placed beautiful lamp can make the whole room come together...and the wrong lamp can ruin just as easily. Please guide us!!!
Thanks Lynn! I will try to include that in my upcoming lightening video.:)
Yes!! I would love an episode on lamp size and shape, shade size and shape, placement in the room and the table / support for the lamp. And how to run cords thru a room so the back of the floating furniture doesn’t look like a gamer’s set up!
We recently moved in a coastal home with huge windows looking over the water in every room. Didn’t want to block the view at first, but the huge rooms and high ceilings dwarfed my little low lamps and the open space didn’t work. I discovered it was more important to get the lamp and scale right in the room even if the view had items “in the way”. Your eye still goes to the view and the room looks great when you bring it back in.
@@cathyquilts2609 Great idea! Thanks for your support in subscribing to our channel.
I bought nice down pillows for my bed a few weeks ago and YES, it makes such a huge difference. Ordered more of them for my throw pillows on my couch. Goodbye polyester pillows. Not gonna miss them! 🙈
Also thanks for the reminder that it is our homes and not a photoshooting space. Always important to hear to not lose motivation because it just doesn't look like in the photos. Yeah well... Because it just CAN'T look like that. And that's okay. 😊
Thanks for watching and subscribing Mel! Much more great content to come. We have fun, but are the "no fluff" zone. Time is precious.
"Staged styling from one angle" answers the question why you can't recreate the magazine page look in your own home. Most people would rather have a functional, beautiful space for real life instead of a staged, showcase space that is unused.
Good Interior Design is a skill, not a fly by night hobby or side hustle..ahem Pinterest “gurus” just entered the chat.
You are right about this not being a hobby or side hustle if you are serious about the craft. This is a huge passion for me. I went to college and earned my degree in interior design. There is so much more to this than sourcing pretty pieces and regurgitating what's trending on social media or just focusing on telling people about your own style. Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Come through, Prof. LeChic!
These little chats give me so much more confidence in owning my own aesthetic. At our previous home, I was a young bride and wanted to impress the "Grown Folks." In this new home, I'm a "Woman of a Certain Age" and I'm going to be me, and help my husband be himself (within certain aesthetic boundaries... lol). We were already on an okay design track, but we now have food for thought and understand how to elevate this place from moderately cool, to freaking FABULOUS! Thank you!!!
Love it! I am pretty sure I am headed toward "Eccentric Auntie" in this next house!
Thanks so much! I'm glad you are finding our videos helpful. Thanks you so much for watching and supporting us by subscribing. :)
Bravo....another great video. I sold my house recently. When we were preparing the house for the sale, realtors were advising me to stage my house by removing "personal" items, which I am sure they meant clutter. I wasn't about to take away the family photos that meant the world to me. The house sold the first day it was on the market! I took courses in the early 80's in interior design and all the things that you say are good, sound design principles I remember learning and then forgetting because I watch too many design videos on UA-cam. I found your video refreshing. Garrett, I may have told you in a comment that my husband has dementia and in the mornings when we start the day, I turn on UA-cam (which we call Sharon TV) to watch you and some others I follow. And it's so hilarious because he calls you my boyfriend! I gently remind him I could be your grandmother!!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with your subscribers. I have seen your channel grow and I hope that trend continues.
What a lovely and heart warming comment! I even showed that one to my husband. I’m glad I can bring some joy as well as useful information into your life. It makes me very happy. We are going to keep working hard and producing top quality content and investing into our channel. We are currently building out and curating pieces for our new home studio. I’m glad you and your husband are on this journey with us to create the premier interior design on social media. Hope you are both enjoying the fall season. 🎃🎃🎃
@@mulliganstew72 no. I just de cluttered. My house was fully furnished and agent was happy with it. The company took tons of pictures. I downsized to a townhouse rental unit I can find something that suits us. At 68, I can’t start over!!! Good luck’
When you talked about the overly chopped pillows. I see a pair of bunny 🐇 ears. If it's Easter...well then YEAH 😆 chop chop.
Lucky is the person can afford you as a designer 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks Erika! Honestly, I prefer being a content creator and sharing with all of you every week. We are going to create the premier interior design channel on social media hands down! I love being home with my husband and dogs working on our projects. Doing interior decorating for others is very time consuming and can take you all over the world and yes it would be very, very expensive.
Garret
I’m a new subscriber and love your videos. You’ve got the perfect combination of sassy attitude and great content. Wishing you all the best for your channel!
Welcome to the channel! Thank you for watching and becoming a subscriber. We appreciate your support. :)
Awwww yes Albert you're a real star!🌟Thank you Garrett for the great video I really enjoyed it!💖
Just a hope for the lighting video you’re working on. Can you please give some suggestions for making lighting in a space look consistent? Having a difficult time trying to find an overhead, sconces, tasks and table lamps that I like without buying the matching set of everything. And yay more Albert always!! 🐶💕
Albert and his brothers will guest star regularly! We will be producing a lightening video in an upcoming video.
Garrett, the content in your videos is always helpful and I really appreciate your design knowledge...but one of the things I most appreciate is your sense of humor and style, big hug dear!
Thanks so much! Im glad you are on this journey with us in creating the premier interior design channel on social media. We appreciate you and always will! Our subscribers mean everything to us. :)
Love this video. Always need to hear reminders about the 'styled' houses. Especially during the holidays.
Glad it was helpful!
I want to live as fearlessly as you and not be worried about dropping a 100$ Versace coffee mug xD
Ugh..I'm very careful gurl! They are now $250 each, but we love them.
@@GarrettLeChic still, use them! Great things are never too good to be used. Better enjoy them and live the dream ♡
@@tiffytattoo2450 I agree. 💯
Excellent discussion on the nuts and bolts, so to speak, of the job. Brought up a couple of memories...at my second interview for a position with an Ethan Allen franchise some twenty years ago, the general manager asked what I thought the most thing was in meeting with a potential client. I said, "To listen." I saw by the look he exchanged with the store manager that I had nailed it. Got the job...still miss the work.
I love you Garrett. I’m never leaving! You have a way of breaking down what has always seemed complicated.
That's so sweet! I'm glad you are enjoying the videos. Much more to come.
Absolutely agree! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@@vickiecoles8214 Thanks Vickie. We love having you in our subscriber family too. 😊
I’m so glad you created this video! I kept trying to create my room to somewhat mimic the magazine photos & felt like a failure. I finally decided the photos were an unrealistic goal which is precisely what you’ve been saying. Yay to my dog bed & her toy box!
I have been working around a dark teal worn in hand me down leather sofa & loveseat set to look nice until we can afford a new set in a different color. Love your channel & thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching and subscribing to our channel.
Firstly, thank you for a little visit with Albert. He is darling. Great video all easy and chatty, notes taken! Mwah
You are so welcome Mikki! Thanks for supporting us and being a subscriber. :)
As always...Excellent advice to decorate accommodating your lifestyle! I applied this in my bedroom and my ugly CPAP machine.
I chose a night stand with deep drawers to accommodate my CPAP. I drilled a hole inside the drawer to run to power cord. At night I simply pull out the drawer to access the face mask. Daytime....all I have to do is fold the mask and hose back into the drawer then close the drawer.
Albert....💓💓💓💕💕
Alberts 2 second appearance steals the spotlight once again. He’s just too precious. 😭
But really, you give some of the most sound advice on here! I also have a pretty classic/traditional style and I had gotten so used to seeing the super modern sleek all white type of style on here, you are so refreshing to see and have also helped me to realize how much I was subconsciously being influenced by certain people, those who basically think if your interior isn’t all modern and white like theirs then it’s “ugly”. For a minute I was starting to wonder if I was doing something wrong or tacky because I just naturally gravitate towards more traditional style pieces. But seeing your space has shown me that no, traditional design can be made current, and is beautiful. I really appreciate your channel!
Thanks so much Ashley! Albert and his brothers are showstoppers. We all appreciate you watching and subscribing to our channel.
Thank you!!! I love my family photos. People who visit love seeing my family/history/memories. It makes for great conversations. The grandkids love it. Gives them a sense of their ancestry & they do ask questions. My bedroom is full of pictures & my family photos downstairs are confined to a large curio cabinet. It's not like you walk in my house & there's my wedding photo but my photos are out & on display & will stay there.
"It's also more than just regurgitating all the trends you see online, but that's not the point." Hahahaaa, you crack me up. 😜 I am looking forward to seeing your reveal videos.
Aha moment…. Put a basket by the bed for clothes I’m whipping off at night or in the morning. I never thought about how just a couple items of clothes laying on the floor are the first things that greet me and say ….”really? On the floor? I’d much prefer to be loved in that rattan bed over there!”
I love Garrett!
I literally feel like I'm sitting on the other couch chatting with you, binging and giggling with your comments. I just went to check my pillows and they are subtly chopped too LOL
Hello, I am your new member of the channel. I live in Croatia, in Zagreb and I use Google translator because I don't know English, so I'm sorry if there are any typos. I like your channel, and you are special to me, very distinctive in an acceptable and charming way. I love decorating my home, so I’m always on the hunt for a new idea. I wish you a lot of success at JT. Please can you tell me which JT channels you like and recommend? Thanks in advance. Best regards!
Welcome to the channel Ana! Thanks for watching and subscribing. On UA-cam I like Rebecca Robeson. She is very talented and also formally educated in interior design as well as being very experienced. Rebecca is also a real and highly regarded interior designer. She’s definitely worth watching in addition to me of course LOL 😀😀😀
I enjoy the calming nature of your videos. Although, your occasional attitude makes it entertaining AND informational. Thx
Thanks so much! I'm glad you are enjoying the content. :)
Fantastic advice Garrett! Albert is soooo sweet. I would like to know how to take ideas from an inspiration room and apply it to your own room. I found a living room I love that looks nothing like the room I will have in terms of architectural features but the shape is the same and I love the furniture and accessories they used and it is the same vibe as my room. I am having an issue deciding what to spend my money on to make the biggest impact. Thanks for all you are doing for us!
Thanks so much!🐶🐶🐶
Lighting is so important! I remember our old home was so depressing because the lighting wasn't adequate. Parts of the room were left dark and it felt wrong. I complained to my Dad and insisted that it better not be problem in our new home. I did had to my scold him for the terrible choice of paint though, (Sky blue and brown, like why???) Had him get it fixed the very next day (I told him that all the brown should be painted white asap!). He may be the man of the house, but he really has no eye for aesthetics.
I went around karate chopping bowls full of glass beads, it gave it that gorgeous, on-its-side, devil may care, table of chic clutter vibe. 10/10 recommend!!
Thanks for the reminder that a magazine picture shouldn’t be the goal, it’s just not livable. I’m redoing my living room and it’s easy to get caught up in trying to make it “perfect” instead of homey.
Exactly!
Since you mentioned your Halloween decor I would love to see it and other holiday and seasonal decor.
Sorry, was distracted by that interesting artwork behind you, can we see it next time?
Really like the relaxed, informal vibe of this video, and your down to earth comments about how life is really lived. At the same time, the beautiful things around me in my home make me so happy, and help me to live life to the fullest.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Not a fan of fortune cookie pillows. Prefer fluffy squar pillows.
I always make a fresh cup of tea before starting your video 🍵 I look forward to these teachings and techniques to curate a home that represents me and my lifestyle not a magazine photo 😊 Another great video Garrett.
Thanks so much for taking your time to watch, and to support us by subscribing to the channel. We appreciate it!
Love it-
Regurgitating the trends you see online!
So very true.
I've been loving your advice on design and styling and I've been binging your videos while trying to redesign my living room--I was wondering if you could do a video (or even a small series!) about the different design styles (art deco, modernism, boho, etc), the history of them, aspects from each that you might consider "timeless", and how to fix cliche mistakes people tend to make when trying to style their rooms in a particular way. I can't wait to see how this channel grows!!
Awesome! Thank you! I certainly try and cover as many design styles as possible and we will be discussing more in upcoming videos. Thanks for watching and subscribing. We appreciate your support!
I love your attitude about living in a real and lovely home that suits you.
When you wrote about styling rooms for photo shoots I smiled. When a whole house or several rooms show up in photos I always look to see if accessories are moved from one room into another. I often find something.
Yes!! I look for this too, nearly always see something reused. I like to make a mental note where the corner of a table or couch is located in the room when several rooms are photographed and you can tell it’s thru a doorway or window. Hmmm, where’d that bowl go?…
I just spent the last two years redecorating my home. Paint, floors, furniture, lighting, and art. The whole thing. It’s beautiful and I’m content with what I did. My question is, how do I make it look lived in, and not perfectly staged? I live alone, and so it’s not messy. If I have a cup of coffee, I take the cup away when I’m finished. There are no newspapers to leave lying around since I read on my iPad. I make my bed so that the room looks finished . If I’ve used a throw, I fold it after I’m finished using it (usually) I like a neat look. I’m not sure how to make it look more Lived in, without it looking like I’m a slob! 🤷🏻♀️ looking forward to your take on this,,, thank you.
It's hard to say Randie without seeing your home. Adding character- It's important to have items that are important to you, that have meaning to you displayed throughout your home. I have collections and other items that have important memories interspersed throughout our home. Also, its okay not have everything perfectly neat, not that I like a mess. I try to mention these things often throughout my videos.
"I want to see the mess in your house" I think I started to sweat just thinking about that happening 😂 on a side note, I look forward to another video helping viewers fix their spaces! I have one to submit...but I'll clean it first 😬
It’s nice to be reminded that we don’t live in magazines. Loved spilling the tea with you today! Hugs 🤗 to Albert 💙
🐶🐶🐶
New subscribers here. And yes I agree with you on the messiness you want to see as a designer. As a hairstylist, I never want to give my clients a haircut where they will not be able to style everyday. That’s party much setting them up for failure.
Welcome to the channel! It's great to have you with us on our journey to creating the premier interior design channel on social media. Thanks again for watching and subscribing. Much more great content to come!
One thing I've noticed is that you speak so fluently. Never an um or ah. Or maybe your husband edits them out? Another really informative video. I am learning so much from your channel. Look forward to every new video.
Thank you! It's just the natural way I speak. Apparently, there is minimal editing that has to be done by the editor who is not my husband. I'm glad you are enjoying the videos. Much more to come, and a new video will be post tomorrow at 1:00pm Pacific Standard Time which would be of course 10:00pm in France.
Designing a home to how u live. Yes!! I have chronic illness n pain so this is essential. So many talk about the Instagram fast fashion trend not living in the space. I love u talk about the cleaning aspect for looks. Aging in place and day to day things we need like the bin in the kitchen dog toys baskets. Thankyou for sharing ur knowledge and wisdom helping us all to make our spaces luxurious and comfortable. ❤
You are so welcome Rose! Glad to be of help. :)
Well thank you! Practical, non judgemental, non waffle, I’ve learnt to follow my own style and intuition (with a few tweaks)😏 🥰
You are so welcome! Thanks for supporting or channel by subscribing, and watching.
I recently subscribed and I’m a little obsessed! I have learned so much from you already. You are so talented, easy to listen to, entertaining, and not annoying at all…that’s hard to find! Thank you!
Thanks so much Paula! I’m glad you are enjoying the videos. Welcome to the channel. It’s great to have you as part of our very valued subscriber family!✨✨
Hi! New subscriber here! So happy to find this resource. My living room is mostly neutrals and I’m switching it to glam with jewel tones so I need all the guidance I can get!
Welcome to the channel Blondie! Thanks for watching and subscribing. We are happy to have you as part of our subscriber family. One of the things our newer subscribers do is go to the channel and watch past videos. There are about 50 or so, and of course that needs to done over time or we get a lot that will binge watch, and we even had someone tell us they had a party just for people to watch our videos which was a huge compliment. However, there is a lot of great information to be had, plus we are making new content every week. :)
I recently found your videos just good Common Sense straightforward knowledge thank you and thank you for not having Farmhouse signs everywhere
Welcome to the channel! We are so happy to have you as part of our subscriber family.:)
Any chance you will ever give us a home tour? I hope that doesn't sound stalker-y but... would love to see your aesthetic applied to hallway, stairs, kitchen, etc
Thanks Sandy! After the renovation process is fully completed I will most likely do a home tour. I did a dining room reveal, and the new home studio is almost complete and that will be revealed because starting with the video being post tomorrow the videos are going to be filmed in the home studio going forward.
I love your style! I love traditional styling!
Will you be doing any seasonal decorating advice?
We haven’t decided. I did a fall decor video.
😀😀😀
Please show your picks for modern light fixtures for small places and modern accents. I am sure they will be great
Why do I simply detest overhead lighting ANYWHERE!?! Yes, dimmers are absolutely critical, but I have always preferred lamps, be they table lamps or floor lamps or wall sconces. The only overhead 'lighting fixture' that I will tolerate is a chandelier of some sort over a dining table. And THAT needs to have several -- minimum 5 -- 'arms.' The reset lighting might be an option, but since I don't have it, LAMPS, LAMPS, LAMPS! Garrett, can you change my mind on this?
Love hearing you thoughts n advice, plus you speak so passionately, :) And love to see ur fur babies too, hella cute!!! x
Thank you so much!!
New subscriber here. I love the fact that you acknowledge that people actually have laundry baskets in their bedroom
Welcome to the channel Terri! We are so happy to have you as part of our valued subscriber family. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. A lot of my newer subscribers are going to my channel and as they have time watching the more than 50 videos we have already done as they are full of helpful information. Of course, we post new videos each week as well. :)
I look forward to videos on lighting. This is a difficult decision and overwhelming for the average person. Thank you, Garrett!
I'm a relatively new subscriber, recently widowed and dealing with significant "deferred maintenance" that just happens to include replacing really lovely wood ceilings that suffered from water and insect damage. (I live in Central America where the rainy season lasts 8 months and the insect season lasts 12.) At any rate, the ceiling color is going from a warm wood tone to white, which, of course, changes everything! But your discussion of lighting just convinced me to go ahead and order a "statement" ceiling fixture. Originally I was going to wait a bit and "live with" the new ceiling, but you convinced me to go ahead and order it. With a dimmer switch, of course. I appreciate your expertise -- and I love your blue and white porcelain collection!
Welcome to the channel Brandy! So happy to have you as a subscriber! I’m glad my video helped you. I’m sorry for your loss, and I’m sure over time you will get your house looking just as you like. Don’t forget we have over 50 videos now on our channel for you to watch and much more to come. I think you will find a lot of useful information and inspiration in the videos. Take good care of yourself. -G

Welcome to the channel! We appreciate you supporting us and becoming a subscriber. That means the most to a content creator. I'm glad you are enjoying our videos. Much more to come.
I just love your space. The antique wood furniture is chef’s kiss. I’m redoing an actual late 1800s farmhouse. I demoed it down to the studs this summer. Horsehair lath and plaster. The plumber, builder, and electricians are now in. It’s getting to the fun part. Facebook market place has been my friend. Found solid cherry kitchen cabinets for 1500$ and an amazing pair of cherry built ins that are 9ft tall each one with original glass from the 1800s for only 300$ for both. One is going to be my kitchen pantry the other with the glass by my rock fireplace. I also have an original wood beam. I’m so excited and you are giving me so many ideas and inspiration. Thank you so much.
Thanks so much Cait! It's great to have you as a subscriber. Your support and kind words mean a lot. :)
Your farmhouse sounds fantastic. What fun!
@@shawndory5193 thank you so much it is a work of love ❤️
Existing subscriber - come to my house! Love your style.
🤩🤩🤩
How can I add lighting to a house that has no chandelier in the dining area? P.s. you need a P.O. Box!
I'm going to do a video on lightening fairly soon. :)
I love watching you, Your adorable 😊, Oh and I love your advice!
Oh thank you! Thanks also for watching and subscribing to our channel. It means a lot. :)
Love that massive karate chop. Make your space yours. You are a gift that keeps on giving.
Bingo. I wear the dress; I do not let the dress wear me.
I’ve always found it funny to go to a friends house and find every surface looking perfect until I need something from the laundry room…or the closet…then the truth of where all their stuff is hiding comes out!
I was happy when you mentioned family photos. I have a lot of art on my walls, but those photos of the people I love here and there mean so much to me.
Amazing content! No matter what video you do, you always have a way of delving into the subject matter in a truly unique way. Your videos approach design in a lasting and functional way.
Wow, thank you!
Really appreciate the reality you bring to the design space in UA-cam!
Thanks so much Meg!
Garrett, I love your approach. Would you consider sharing what color you used on your walls and woodwork? And, where did you get those blue velvet pillows?😘😘😘
Hi Sarah! Thanks for watching and supporting us by subscribing! Most of this home is done in Sherwin Williams Greek Villa. However, we are having select rooms painted and adding color. I can't remember if I had them custom made or I bought them on Etsy.
I Iike the way you think Garrett! Can’t wait for your lighting video! 🍂
Oh I love design to improve their life! Fabulous!!
I was there with you when you had < 2k subs. Glad that more people are now enjoying and appreciating your superb content 😊
Thank you so much Emmie the OG! I appreciate you and I’m happy people are enjoying the videos. I love sharing what I’ve learned to help others.😊😊😊
I am looking forward to your lighting video! For the past year I have been redesigning my living room. I am nearly finished, but as you were talking I realized that a chandelier would be the finishing touch. I have adequate lighting, but I have high ceilings and a hanging fixture would be the icing on the cake. Thanks for the inspiration!
This was the best! You have to live here so put out what you like, be true to yourself! Thank you 😊
Really enjoy these informative videos sprinkled with your personal touch of courteous sassiness!! 😁😁
Glad you enjoyed!
It would be great if you could do a Christmas or holiday decor video so it doesn't end up looking overly styled or tacky
I am a new subscriber and I loved your video. See you in the next one. From Quebec, Canada. ❤
Yay! Welcome to the channel. It’s great to have you as a part of our very valued subscriber family. I post videos on Thursdays at 1pm and Sundays at 10am, Pacific Time. 😊😊😊
Perfect Sat morning. Garrett: "Grab a cup of coffee" Me: "One step ahead of you" Very useful video as always. Also, I kept studying Garrett's cardi, it looks so comfy and stylish. I might knit one like that for myself.
I love your videos. Always both informative and fun.
I'm looking forward to seeing more on lighting. It can really set a mood as well as allowing us to see in the dark. 😁
I'd enjoy seeing how you decorate for the holidays.
I'm not big on constantly changing things around either.
Once in a while I will try what I have in a different way and wonder why I hadn't thought of that before. That's part of the fun though. It also opened my eyes to the fact that what I have in different rooms are interchangeable. That tells me that over the years, I must have developed my own style. Imagine that! My rooms"flow" .
Take care.
Got a small dark, blank corner? Add a tall plant with interesting foliage and put an uplight on the floor that will cast some interesting shadows on the wall at night. Instant artwork!
Hi Garrett This is my 3rd comment as I’m a new subscriber 😊 Your channel is now my favourite 😊 Thank you from Jay in Melbourne 😊
Awesome! Thank you! Welcome to channel. I’m glad you are enjoying and appreciate your support. 😊😊😊
Thank you for the tips! I wonder if topics like how to incorporate your partner's taste in a space can be done, like, with examples if possible. Also, children transitioning to teens and then to adults, how to think about this process and decorate their spaces accordingly and not feel like I'm living in a daycare nor them in a black and white movie (black and white kids' rooms are not it for me)
I never thought about the offsite storage space, makes total sense though
Oh my goodness! Garrett! I feel like I’m this video we “connected” even though you don’t know me. How I wish we were friends. These are one of the best design advices I’ve heard. I’ll have to watch again. Plus…. Watching you with your babies is so adorable! Love them!
I'm glad you enjoy our content! Though I realize all of you don't get to see me or talk to me and my husband, please know we truly care about and appreciate our subscribers very, very much, and our way of showing you is to produce useable and practical content versus fluff and just regurgitating what's trending on social media.
Can't wait for the big reveal of your home!!!!
You’re a star 💫 thank you
Thanks so much! It's great to have you as part of our channel family.
New subscriber!! Fellow trained and experienced interior designer, NCIDQ, CKD, CBD, CAPS !!! You are always right on the money!! So MANY you tube 'designers' have NO FORMAL TRAINING!! They might be good but I always look for some one who took their time and money and put it where their mouth is! You give a ton of 'master class' lessons and don't try to bleed you viewers for 'exclusives'. Keep it up and Carry On!! ( and I'll keep watching and learning!!)
Thanks so much Luane! I’m glad you are enjoying the content. Much more to come. Welcome to the channel. It’s great to have you as part of our very valued subscriber family!😊😊😊
Most of your stuff can live at my house too. I love your style and you are the only designer I can listen to without rolling my eyes. I do have one question- where can you source good reproduction furniture- similar to some of your pieces- I have a couple but have a hard time finding them.
Wow, thank you! Almost all of our furniture is Theodore Alexander which is one of the finest furniture makers in the world. The quality, design and finishes are impeccable. We purchased from a retailer which of course aren't everywhere but you should be able to find one in or around major cities. I'm not sure where you live, but their website might list local retailers. Also love Baker, Ralph Lauren Home, and Jonathan Charles just to name a few others.
@@GarrettLeChic thank you so much 😊 I have a few Theodore Alexander pieces but I’ll be looking at the other brands you mentioned.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. ( I love the sweater jacket!)
Thanks Rachael! I'm glad you are enjoying our content, and it's awesome to have you subscribed to our channel. We appreciate you!
