I love your channel, I’m 70 and we farm. Live in the country,also have cattle.I have never gone with trends. I like beautiful things. Antiques really. I replaced floors with ceramic tile as my husband is in a wheelchair at night & I was told that the only floor that will hold up is tile. I really wanted real wood, but it won’t hold up. I like your channel because you have common sense. Eastern Nebraska. Blizzard 🥶 here😳
I didn’t know 70 year olds use emojis, but I guess they do! 👍👍👍

@@muellmanni1678😊 Those of use in our late 60’s early 70’s were about 30 when personal computers became available. We’ve lived most of our lives with advancing technology. At least those of us who embraced tech. My husband, who I’m still pulling into the 21st century kicking and screaming, knows how to do emojis but can’t delete an email. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
@@muellmanni1678 Of course we do!! 😊❤
Note from a hardwood installer: Herringbone, done right, tends to waste a lot less wood than chevron. You often end up with a lot of scrap doing chevron, less with herringbone, and it makes the edges and finishing look more seamless
Good tip
I love that I dont have to watch your videos on 1.25 or 1.5x. You got that built in. 🙌🏼
😂
🤣🤣🤣
I think what we always have to keep in mind with any trend, is that what seems outdated in online spaces does not automatically look outdated it "real life". We might be over certain influencer kind of spaces we see online, but never have I entered a friends apartment and thought "wow, that boucle chair is so five years ago". I might think "wow, this place is so different from mine. It’s really their style." People really don’t care, I think. Unless we're trying to get into Architectural Digest, we should just use what we love.
Well said ! I've always joked that if AD is going to feature my home , I'll need a advance notice - that is unless they're doing a photo op on Eng. Country style in central Illinois . Boots by the kitchen door , dog beds scattered around but the dogs are on the worn throws on the inherited furniture , antiques w/ plenty of wear , bridles on coat hooks , coats over chairs , mismatched tea mugs next to mother's fine china , oriental rugs over carpet ... everything used & loved . Life is good ! 🥰
This is so true.
That's nice and so cozy, I bet!😊
Yes! When we were doing a huge renovation, I kept saying to contractor, husband, and friends; “We’re not going for Architectural Digest, we’re making a family home.” We’re so happy with the outcome and the budget didn’t blow out.

I think the checkerboard is more "timeless" when laid in a diamond configuration as opposed to the 50s diner style, but even then I prefer it used very sparingly.
Do you mean like a rhombus and not square checkerboard?
@@edwardarkwright7116 I think they're still squares - like the image on the right at 12:29 they're just laid at an angle that gives the diamond perspective instead of the basic checkerboard (50s diner style) on the left.
No one said they weren’t still squares. The point is they are laid so the points are at a 45 degree angle relative to the walls, commonly referred to as a “diamond” pattern vs. a checkerboard pattern
The diamond patterns dates both you and the floor. Renaissance palaces have the checkerboard.
You thought the fifties innovated that?
@@elizabethclaiborne6461 No, I have no idea nor do I care about the origins, I just used 50's diner as what I thought would be an easily recognizable example. I never said it was literally less "timeless" It's just how it feels to me.
I grew up in Europe where parquet floors are very common in older buildings, with herringbone being the most popular pattern. They were considered luxury features, but if cared for properly they can last for a century or more. I love them. I agree about most of your favourites, but not the paper lanterns. They look flimsy, are difficult to clean, and I worry how fireproof they really are.
I agree with you about parquet and herringbone floors. Beautiful and classic. I have to say that I LOVE my paper lantern pendant lights. I have had them for over twenty years because the glow they give off is warm and lovely. I do have to be careful not to light candles under the one that is now in my dining room though 🧐🔥🔥🔥
I just came here to say both of this. :) But then I wondered if being confronted with the IKEA-paper-lamps everywhere since childhood just made me see the paper lamps that way... anyways: this. :D
There's paper and then there's paper. Japanese papers used in lamps, in particular, are nothing like the Ikea or Chinatown lantern versions.
@@lynda.grace.14 Do you suggest a source for the high quality paper lamps with Japanese paper?
I wish I had one, but don't. Most that I have seen are in Japan. Not helpful. Sorry.@@SarahBattersby_HappyMedusa
I’m going to be a little nitpicky because I see people get confused with this. When you’re talking about the warm wood tones (walnut, ash, oak, etc) you’re talking about the stain. The wood species is going to be more about the grain. You can finish ash wood with walnut stain to get subtle grain (ash) with rich darker color (walnut).
Yes totally - thanks for clarifying
Most woods are warm with a transparent finish, and there is immense colour variation across species when you put a clear coat on it.
The whole reason there is a stain called “Walnut stain” is because walnut with a clear coat is much darker than say white oak with a clear coat. Cherry with a clear coat is quite red.
Most woods also get warmer with exposure to UV. Pine is a good example. It can look quite orange.
@@fromhgwaii true, but when people talk about a wood tone, I see them referring to a stain color. The ‘walnut’ that we think of is rarely actually walnut. It’s usually another wood stained walnut.
We college students in the 60’s made heavy use of paper shades. I love them to this day. We used them because they were so inexpensive and added instant style to a room. Many of us rented old homes in wonderfully mature neighborhoods near campus and turned them into fabulous places to live. Almost always on a dime. The trend was to be creative. The colors were orange and yellow. Really. I have such fond memories of that time.
Lava lamps! I loved the 60s.
Pier One!@@writerinfact1768
I was a child then (in Berkeley, CA, the epicenter of college student culture) & I remember paper shades, bean bag chairs, wicker chairs that hung from the ceiling, stained glass windows, black light posters, lots of teak, & sliding-door cabinets that looked like Mondrians.
The paper shades are VERY hard to dust and keep clean.
I like to use a vacuum with a soft bristle attachment. The hairs provide just enough physical agitation without being too rough, and the vacuum carries all the dust away before it gets into the air and triggers my allergies. Works great for me. I've had my lamps since our wedding in 2010, still no rips, tears, or holes. 🏮
I cleaned for a lady who couldn't decide on the floor for her renovated kitchen. (This was back in the 80s) I suggested B & W checkerboard and she agreed and had it put in. WHAT a MISTAKE for a kitchen. The white tiles always looked dirty and the black ones looked dusty. I hated it within weeks.
Not to mention the black and white checkered floor has an occult history. I won't go into it here but feel free to look it up.
I don't like checker board either, looking at it always does something weird to my eyes. It gets a bit fuzzy
I get that but there is also other colors to do . I didn’t a light graige with a darker gray almost black and it looks so good
🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷 *I’m French and I can confirm the Herringbone HARDWOOD FLOORS are among the trendiest and timeless floors. It even bumps up the price.*
Im delighted. Over the lockdown years. I decluttered and went completely neutral, focusing more on textures.
Delighted I’m finally on trend ! 😂
Feel free to quote my dad's old standby: "I may not always be right, but I am never wrong." 😂
my only problem with the black and white checkerboard floor is that it used to be one of the cheapest floors in the old version of the Sims that I played growing up so now I wrongly think of it as a budget option 😅
"He's got a light bulb hanging" Well Whatever 😂😂😂 I love it.
Thank you for keeping it real and sharing your honest opinions in your videos. It's refreshing to see genuine content in a world filled with filtered perspectives.
Love, love, love warm natural wood tones. I've had them for the last 15 years even though they were technically out of style at that time. Don't care, you couldn't pay me to have gray floors and black furniture. The only one I disagree with here are paper lanterns. They just remind me of my late 90's childhood bedroom, I can't ever see that as something sophisticated.
Look up Isamu Noguchi's Akari light sculptures. They are beautiful
It's not "mustard", it's "harvest gold"! I've just given away my age. 😂
🤣🤣🤣💖
😂😂😂😂💕
Haha!! I've totally heard "harvest gold" from my mom 😂
It’s Shell Garage Yellow 😂😂
My sister shared your channel with earlier this week me as I'm home with a broken arm and can't do much. Your videos are so engaging and entertaining. You're very helpful at encapsulating the essence of good home design no matter the budget. You've gotten me through some long days here and helped me work out why a few things in my little home aren't quite working the way I'd like them to. More info on those linen sheets someday would be nice. Thanks very much for being informative, kindhearted and humorous! 😊
Ugh... I hope you feel better as quickly as possible!
Oh, I just love to see Nick's face pop up on YT! I know I'm in for some great info and lots of laughs ❤!
Being timeless can be a huge strong point of a home design trends. ✨✨
Nick, would you please consider doing a video on the Arts & Crafts style (and not just American Craftsman, as I live worlds away from the US)?
There are no proper videos, like your others, on Arts & Crafts.
Thank you!
Yes yes yes! We looked at an old house a few months ago that had William Morris wallpaper in the bathrooms. I was in love. 😍 I just love the whole history and aesthetic of the movement, as well as its mid twentieth-century revival with figures like Bernard Leach and Lloyd Reynolds.
Yes this!!!
To me, Arts & Crafts is real timeless beauty!
Nick you really need to have your own show. I could watch you all day lol.
My thoughts exactly!!!😊
I agree. Someone else said their face lights up when they see a new Nick video. Me too. I love Nick’s blunt honesty that is delivered with dry humor. I think a HGTV show with Nick would be a hit.
I couldn't agree more! 😆
Getting sick of a color that you previously wanted to experiment with probably means just means it wasn’t incorporated well in the space. I’m not even a fan of the color plum, but I would never get tired of the room at 9:55, because the use of overall color harmony and mixing is expertly done.
Remember that you can always make a color work just as in art. But the better it’s used in the composition, the more beautiful and timeless that color will be
I agree. I used Benjamin Moore Buckhorn in a Master bedroom where I needed room darkening colour to improve sleep hygiene. When I moved to another home I used the same colour in my new MBR. It looks like chocolate ganache--which I haven't seen trending anywhere in recent memory. My bedspread and wall to wall curtains are the same colour and I have a few accent pillows with a bit of caramel, gold and black in integrated patterns to break things up a little. To me, the room is always rich, cozy and calming. Not for everyone, I'll cede that; however, in a decade and a half I've never tired of it. I think the key is in knowing what you love (or will love) rather than being seduced by marketing designed to make you buy.
There's an interior design hobbyist called Caroline Winkler who painted her kitchen blue. She hates blue, doesn't have anywhere else in her home. But she painted her entire kitchen blue because she has cherry stained cabinets in her apartment and she wasn't able to restain the cabinets or replace them (apartment+lazy). She loves the kitchen now, but I thought that it was an interesting choice for someone to use a colour they dislike to upgrade their space
I think a key to getting something that will look good in a decade is to buy things that can be utilized in several different design styles. So the warm wood, the paper light fixtures, the neutrals, all these can be used in boho, organic, traditional etc. so as the trends come and go, your objects can move with them.
You got it!
Love herringbone. Put a carrera marble herringbone pattern around my fireplace 10 years ago and still adore it.
I feel like olive wood. It strikes just that right medium wood tone. It's been around in certain degrees for centuries. While you don't often seen furniture done with it, it does blend well with most wood colors when you think about wood decor items to select. It's gorgeous in my kitchen. I have it in hanging wooden spoons, cutting boards, and even a decor rolling pin atop my stove shelf. It creates balance, and the unique patterns in the wood create just the right amount of interest without being too distracting.
I’m jealous!!
Could you do a video on 'close concept homes'? Like the opposite of 'open concept '? Plus/minus, why they are gaining popularity, how they function differently, etc. Thanks!
Thanks for the video, I love your common sense approach to decorating and I usually agree with most of what you say. But I really like how you get right to it and give so much info in a short time.
Love your laid back channel! Persian rugs never go out of fashion either :)
I love the positivity of this video. This is the way decorating advice should be given, i.e., by helping subscribers figure out what is classic and timeless and will be a long-lasting investment for them, even though it may not be the hottest trend right now. Frankly, I'm not a fan of the videos that tell you that something has to go because it's outdated or not the latest trend. In 2024 an all-grey decor and an all-white kitchen seem to be near the top of the list of the supposed outdated trends. However, plenty of people still like those looks, and most people don't have the financial ability to just completely redo an entire decor style just because it's not "on trend." Thank you for this video!
I LOVE herringbone wood patterns. My husband made me a herringbone coffee table about 10 years ago that I still love today.
I agree that mid-mod furniture is timeless. I have a Noguchi coffee table (I know, glass) surrounded by none of its peers, but it classes up the joint, in my opinion.
I agree that the black/white checkered flooring is timeless. My kitchen has it and it’s thirty years old and time to be replaced and I could have anything but I chose it again because I love it and have never tired of it.
PSA Something to consider if your interested in installing a checkerboard floor to consider the they are high maintenance to keep clean. The white and black show every little crumb, dust,lint,dirt. so if your not up for that level of cleaning it might not be practical for a busy household.
I’ve seen them done with marble or quartz (or some other stone) where they’re still black and white, but they have more variation that disguises dust and grime.
NEED YOUR HELP: please do all you can in 2024 (and forward) to bring back the ceiling fan. I know you’re saying, Booo but hear me out. Fans are super, super useful (especially in the South) and good ones totally make a room so much more enjoyable!!
I have 6 in my house and couldn’t live without them if you paid me. I would never consider swooping them out for a pendant or chandelier.
I have a fan in every bedroom, one in the kitchen, one in the living room; which I think I can officially call vintage now because I installed it 40 years ago. And last but not least, I’ve got one in the laundry room where it’s indispensable on weekends I’m doing upwards of 10 loads in the middle of Summer when it’s 95 degrees (F) with 100% humidity!!
Yes, they have light kits, one even has a secondary night light with etched glass. All are flush mount, reversible and the majority having blades that match the walnut floor. All except one, has bubble glass with black metal brackets; none are that horrible shiny gold w/the A-typical quad or single light fixture….mine are more updated than that, except the living room one but that one is really quite ornate (with a double glass carved globe).
Anything you can do to talk people back into loving these as much as I do would be appreciated!!!
Thanks - Cheers
Live in the midwest & even the most upscale homes have ceiling fans ( I 'm a pet & house sitter & have been in homes that are Architectural Digest worthy ) . It's form to function - common sense to use them .
Jeez just use them and love them, no need to wait for something to be trendy to enjoy it, plus fans are a necessity not a decor accessory. I have fans all over my house and they will remain there, as I live in Florida and they are a necessity here.
If they are old and ugly, just replace with more modern versions like I did.
California girl here who can’t and won’t live without ceiling fans. Mine are updated and have integrated LED lighting, one with LED uplighting which we use every day. Fans are an absolute necessity in many parts of the USA.
Modern housing is moving towards mechanical ventilation. The air inside the house stays the same temperature and humidity all year around and the fresh air brought in through the ventilator is conditioned before it's circulated into the house. Ceiling fans simply aren't needed in a high performance house.
I love linen bedding, sheets, pillow cases, quilts -- they get softer with every wash and breathe so well no matter the season. They are an investment but definitely worth it. There are some lovely, colorful options out there.
Totally agree on colour. For me mustard, olive, Merlot, and terracotta are ALWAYS loves. But if I went with Millennial pink a few years back I’d be like “😬” at this point.
I’m a warm wood gal who decorates in kind of a kitschy cottage/rural grandma style and when it came into fashion I thought it was pretty funny.
Hi Nick - great video!! Herringbone - love it! The pattern also makes the space feel a little larger. Natural stained wood just feels warmer so it's my fav, even if it's just an LVP. Sorry, never liked the paper lanterns. They just look cheap to me. Neutral linens are always yummy and cozy and can mix with everything. I've seen checkerboard tile flooring in soft white and cream and loved it! I totally agree on light fixtures, and I consider them artwork really. 🤩
Paper lights like basket/wicker lights seem like a nightmare to be able to clean and dust properly. I think they look fine but I don't have time for that. No thank you.
I ended up with Langford smoked oak hardwood floors, I know they are timeless, but I regret not requesting the herring bone pattern. I am still knocking my head against the wall about that. I love them.
I can relate... So much potential gone to waste... Oh well, we can change it again in like 40 years...😆
Love it! Could you do a couple 2024 IKEA (the good bad and ugly?) also, what about bathrooms and bathroom lighting??
As an interior designer I completely agree with each and every statement you made in this video. Love the channel ❤
Love neutral linens 🤍
Love your content so much! Could we please have a 2024 at IKEA video? We just moved and I’d love your latest picks for some great and potentially new ikea options!
I gotta say, my Victorian lamps (reproduction) lamp shades specifically, are over 20 years old and still stunning. Not just to me, but everyone who sees them... maybe one day I can learn to make them 😮 you definitely must have a somewhat coordinating decor. Both are timeless... Christine McConnell's style and talent to create beautiful reproductions is fascinating to me.
You mean the ones with silk pleading on them right?
Are you talking about the Tiffany style? Love those - sparingly.
Paper shades are nice, but keep in mind, if liquid gets splattered on it, it'd be difficult to clean as it could tear or rip in the process. Even removing dust from it, isn't the easiest either.
Just get another - they're cheap as chips. Also more durable then they look.
I have just visualized you tripping with a coffee in hand and it splashing up and over the paper lamp:)
@@lobstermash the really nice ones like by Noguchi are hundreds to thousands of dollars
@@twix2615 Interesting - I had no idea there was a high price version. Thanks - I'll look them up and see if they look worth it.
Later - meh. But the mulberry paper is very high quality and tough.
Let's be frank, not many dust their light fixtures or at least not often enough to be a problem lol
Happy to hear about warm wood but paper shades scream college dorm to me. Luckily the many of the shades are cheap and may not outlast the trend.
I agree. How can a paper shade be "timeless" if it can't even last long enough to go out of style?
@@fazdoll Paper lanterns have existed in East Asia fairly consistently since the 7th century, and the design has many contemporary variations, some of which are made to last and some of which are temporary festival decor. The IKEA version does not do them justice!
Over time, a paper shade gets dirty and since you can’t wash/wipe it, you have to replace it much sooner than other lighting. So no point worrying about whether they’re timeless or not.
@@ysbyttybedbug They're a few dollars, way cheaper than other shades.
@@lobstermash yes, I agree, and there was a time in my life when I was very glad to have them. I just meant that you wouldn’t buy them with the expectation that they will outlast the trend (ie timeless), as you’ll have to replace them regardless.
Paper shades are ugly bc they get dirty and can't be cleaned effectively. Not meant for the long haul.
Hi, Nick! Love your videos, they are great, much like your taste in interior design. I especially love your selection of images that you include to illustrate the point. Always beautiful design and great choice!
Herringbone and checkerboard are way too much for me; they just overwhelm my senses, especially in black and white. I do absolutely love the mid-tone wood flooring. I'm remodeling my house, which is now all carpeted, and putting the walnut colored wood everywhere. Gorgeous.
You always have a take I enjoy. Thanks, Nick!
Loved the transition from intro to sponsor!
I think Nick has turned making a TH-cam video into art!
This channel is one my weekly obsessions😉
Ps. I have tile flooring that looks like wood, and herringbone pattern would have been an amazing choice... Yet, we went for the simple approach... So much regret...😆
Best interior design channel out there. Much love nick
I agree on all of these except the paper lamp shade. I don’t know if it was such a big thing in other countries as well, but I’m German and every millennial I know had at one point in their younger years that one specific IKEA paper lamp shade bc it was dirt cheap and super in for a while! And you could see that by the time people had some money, their own apartments and got their life together as an adult, they finally got rid of these fragile as hell things. 😂 I am forever traumatized by them and refuse to believe they’re timeless, but maybe that’s a regional thing. 😅
I agree with you!!!
Hahaha, same! My thoughts immediately went back to my first flatshare and my brain went "Noooo, we've finally been able to upgrade! I'm not doing that again!"
Your timeless chair and lighting videos were super informative and a cool crash course in interior design. Would love to see more this year!
Surprise! A "neutral-welcoming" design is perceptually timeless, and once again, Nick Lewis proves a point with great visual examples. Here is how I deconstruct timeless design... Anything that is distracting or causes mental processing "overload" (intrusion/interference, from thoughts of... who? / what? / when? / where? / why? / how?) has the opposite effect: non-neutral => mental "overload" => non-welcoming => non-timeless.
I fell in love with the feeling of sleeping in a bed made with fresh, white cotton sheets. I replaced all my sheets with plain white cotton almost 2 yrs ago and have not gotten sick of it yet.
I have a silk pillowcase. It has to be handwashed and that's a pain, but one day I'm going to have silk sheets. They feel so gentle against the skin!
A garage kept hot water heater caused a mini lake in my home, copious amounts of water were contained under the vinyl wood floor. I replaced the flood with a variegated wood herringbone pattern. It was laid in November, and 2 months later I still stare swooningly at the floor! While it may not be everyone’s cup of tea, I’m head over hills for it! The Sherwin Williams Anew Gray, was updated to Gossamer Veil, it’s cooler, lighter and brighter (about 15 point LRV difference). I consider Modern Gray, same LRV value as GV, but definitely more beige leaning. I’ve been thrilled with the outcome.
I've always loved timeless style, with a twist. So I'm all for herringbone patterned floors, warm-toned woods, paper lights, bedding in neutral colors... and all the other elements you mention in this EXCELLENT (as always) video. By "twist" I mean using "the unexpected red theory" or adding a fun/quirky element to the decor that will pop amidst the neutral, timeless background, making the home warm and personal, not bland or sterile. Thanks for sharing!
Love your videos!! Thank you for all you create for us!!😊
The paper shades just scream ikea to me cause they’re in every rental here in Ireland
As with everything…there are all levels of quality.
You mean cheap IKEA quality, not better made higher quality Japanese versions.
Great topic! Very helpful. Thanks ❤
Hi Nick! Love your channel! I moved into my first apartment on my own and it's hard to make a decision on everything! I'm glad I have your channel for inspo ✨️
I loooooove such topics because it seems so strange that we both speak ecology and then crazy crazy trends each half a year. I see people going crazy in their tiles or floorings but it’s the most difficult and costy thing to change. Talking about wise choices, longevity of trends, actual “user friendliness” of trends it’s something that more and more designers should talk about and you nail it! I love your work so much❤
Just recently discovered your channel and have been binging. I love your simple, reasonable, practical approach, all delivered with that delightful humor!
Hi Nick, You once did a video on all (50) design styles which was great! Dark Academia was in there - I didn't know it was a recognised design style until then and, as a scientist and lover of the classics, Ancient Cultures, books, chinasoiree, Victorian etc., have always decorated my home like that - with authentic art and curios from my travels....and loved living in it! It would be interesting to see your take on doing it "right"?
For bedding it depends on what it is. Your comforter and blankets can last for over a decade so make sure you really like them. I feel you can go trendier with sheets because they tend to wear out and need replacing much faster.
Herringbone 😊is just too busy for me.
Paper lanterns and light fixtures look like a party decoration you forgot to take down.
Love you videos!! Always look forward to them on Saturday and you always make me laugh with your bluntness 😂😂😂
Couldn't agree with you more Nick! The photos you used were so beautiful! You have a good eye for beautiful interiors! Well done! 😊
My experience with paper shades is that seem to attract dust and soon look grubby. I agree that they do provide great diffused light.
I think they look dated and should only be used in an Asian style room design.
I am renovating my home right now and I have choosen mid-toned wood flooring and I was a little bit nervous about it, because it seemed a bit too warm, but I am getting more and more confident with my choice. ☺
I love hearing what you think. I’ve learned a lot from you and have implemented some of your ideas. Thanks
For flooring, I have oak, which I'm redoing with a black stain, mostly because when I ripped out the carpeting and nails and scraped off spilled paint, and began sanding, I discovered some stains and minor nicks out of the wood that the black stain should covertly nicely once I touch up with wood filler and wood bleach. Caution: taking on such a project is not for the faint of heart. It's an enormous undertaking that I look forward to having finished. And once that was underway, the whole "Go Big, or Go Home" mentality struck me. My closet is getting completely revamped to strike more of a fashionista vibe, with 3 tiers and shelvng added, and even a staging area in the center of the closet. The super cold weather isn't evoking a 'get-it-done' mentality right now, but I do look forward to getting it done with new closet doors that go to the ceiling.
Hi Nick. I hope the new year brings you much happiness and continued success!
Hi Nick ! I was just in Amsterdam and went to Rembrandt's house for a tour. He had the black/dark charcoal and cream checkerboard floor in his front receiving room and front office so, yes timeless. One thing I liked, every so often, where there should have been a black tile, there was a cream tile. I liked the disruption of the pattern.
Good video, I agree with everything. If redoing floors was in my budget I'd definitely have checker board in the kitchen and entry way.
Good luck! I tried to do a checkerboard in my old house and the tile store wouldn’t do it
We’re looking at redoing our kitchen in our 1954 house and I am loving some of these more muted checkerboard floors. Like a taupe and white. Gives a nod to the time the house was built but keeps is simple and beautiful.
A beautiful wood floor is nice, but should be only the backdrop for a beautiful area rug.
Nick it's too cold out here in Vancouver right now. Thank you for always warming my heart with your videos.
I am literally putting in herringbone right now lol
Love your channel. I’m a classic type person for clothes and decor but love having fun with both!
Always great design advice.

Great video! Question, why don't we see more maple wood? It's such a beautiful species.
My brother inherited my grandmother's maple sideboard and dining room set because he was the only one with room for it at the time. It is the most beautiful soft glowing furniture. I envy him every time I am at his house. 😅
Maple will always be my favorite 😍
Yes agreed. Thank you.
Totally agree with your point on the herringbone floor design, am in love of this design too. It just never look out of trend.
Oh boy, I can go dig out my paper lantern ceiling fixtures from the 1970's. Everybody had them in their first apartments, including me. lol I am making fun, but I still like them. I have a feeling they are going to be more than $2.99 like they were back then.
Love ❤️ you, Nick, and your great aesthetics 🎉 If I had money 💰 I would hire you right away for help and fun making all design decisions, including selecting a place of my own, interior design, and landscape design. It would be a fun project.😊 Your enthusiasm in these podcasts makes my day. Thank you!
All of my family homes have always had herringbone flooring, oak wood furniture and paper lanterns and no one has ever gotten bored of them. ❤
I love your channel and your camera setup. It totally feels like a conversation
❄️❄️❄️in the PNW! ♥️♥️♥️your channel Nick, Happy 2024💪
Such a incredible point on lighting! Never thought of that before!
I'm so glad you put an arc lamp lol. I have been thinking about getting this arc floor lamp for a few mos now but I know they aren't considered "in" anymore so I was second guessing myself if I should get it. Now that you give it your designer blessing I totally am! LOL! 😅
Neutral linens with deep shades like plum as accents like maybe pillowcases is stunning
thanks again for a great informative video!🤩
I wholeheartedly agree with the point about lighting. Get what you love, spend a little extra, and you'll have it for life.
