Hi Everyone! Please note my comment about the HOA is just a joke in case for some there is a misunderstanding. We are extremely supportive of our neighbors. Enjoy the video and thanks for watching! 😊😊😊🍁🍁🍁
You SERIOUSLY cracked me up good with the HOA!! Messing with the vibe and mood is dangerous on top of just NOT liking them!! 😂 literally I about became one of the GIF's of the girl spitting out drink everywhere!! I needed a good belly laugh!!! New to your channel! Keep up the great work!!
I love the way you promote sustainability. I used to babysit this little kid who had wealthy parents and one year, I asked the mother her fall decorating plans for the house and if she was gonna have something extra in the yard. She was so confused and said ‘Fall is a MOOD. You should spend more time and money living in it than just signalling it” She always kept things minimal and classy throughout the seasons, enough to conjure the “mood” (as she would say) but not too much that she was signalling to neighbours or passerbys. Interesting POV

I have a friend whose daughter spilled an entire jar of glitter on the carpet in her room. I said how did you fix that??!! She said, we moved. 😂 I love every word in this video! ♥️
😅😂😂😂 so true. I purchased something with glitter for my daughter 2 years ago and a lot of it spilled in my car and until today when I vacuum the car I still see a little glitter here and there. I absolutely hate glitter with my whole life.
You’ve really taught me to love my ancient, beautifully made furniture and to not worry about the Instagram posts. Clean and uncluttered go a LONG way. I’m not saying we shouldn’t update, but how the heck can people keep re-doing their kitchens and bathrooms and flooring, and faucets just to keep up with a trend?!
I agree! I have subscribed to several interior design videos and they all "push" products. Unless it's something that will make my life easier (cleaning, organizing, etc.) or is so beautiful I can't live without it (which is rare), I just ignore the product part and watch for the tips. I'm on the fence about bedding. How often do people really buy new bedding? I'm always dumbfounded because folks seem to buy new stuff all the time. GAH! That's too expensive for me. Especially if you want to make it look luxurious. You may be able to find the look for less, but not usually for free! HA!
I agree. I love antiques and vintage furniture. They were made far better than anything we produce today. I'm not sure they should be alone in the house. I'm all for putting new furniture with them. It makes the house a little more interesting. As far as the bedding goes, I buy new when I need it and not one second before. My bedroom has a very plain beige spread on it and at the foot of the bed, I put a folded 100 year old quilt that is in PERFECT condition and full of colors. I LOVE it!! It was made in the early 20s by his great aunt whom he never knew. I'm not necessarily ever going for the look of luxury. I'm going for a glimpse of a home that's warm and comfortable.
LOL, my house looks like Halloween threw up on it, totally embraced the tacky. I mean if you are going to go there you might as well go all in. Lights, 3' Peanuts charters built and painted by my husband, the exact pumpkin patch you highlighted (have to watch for the Great Pumpkin), lite up lanterns hanging from the tree, fire pit moved to the front yard Halloween night to stay warm while handing out candy. COMPLETELY tacky and over the top!
I don't blame you. People get the craziest for Halloween decorating. I am sure it would be a blast to see your home bc I never decorate for any season at all! 😬😵🥴
I think it depends on what season in your life you're in or the intent. If the intent to decorate is for your kids or the neighborhood kids, I think its darling. Not my style, but I love to see people put in the effort and have fun with it
I had a friend who had the most gorgeous slip covers for her furniture that changed for spring/summer and fall winter. I’ve never seen such beautifully made slip covers … you couldn’t even tell they were covers …they must have cost a fortune. Much better than changing furniture
I have light beige furniture. I change out throws, pillows, and etc seasonally because I don't want to look at the same living FOREVER. It's incredible how changing out a few items can make a whole room look so different.
I really love how you explain why things look cheap and tacky without offending anyone and their personal decor style…and then you share alternatives 😩 you’re literally the best!! Content King 👑

I couldn’t agree MORE about the blow-up “decorations” for the front yard! I was low-key mom shamed for not getting them when my son was little. I thought (and still think) they look like dead, boneless bodies lying in the front yard during the day! How did these atrocities become a thing?? 😖😣
Isn’t it weird that there seems to be so much low key mom shaming surrounding specifically consumerism? Like recently I heard about what goes on around Valentine’s Day, and how parents (ahem, moms) are expected to make all these valentines for kids with gifts and all that. It’s crazy! Why is buying stuff such a prerequisite for group activities nowadays? I’m glad you didn’t buckle under the pressure, girl!
I back up every Mom who gets shamed for not putting one of those monstrosities up. Nothing to be ashamed about, IMO. A LOT of yards have these eyesores around Halloween and Christmas, and during the day, it looks like bears have gotten into the garbage can and strewn the garbage everywhere (yes, I live where there are bears who do this.. it's not pretty)
My mom was one of those concrete goose ladies, where we had the goose that sat on the porch and she dressed it up for every holiday - this is what I envision whenever people talk about decor that you can switch up every season 😅
Blow up's are the worst. I agree 200%. I love dried fall foliage wreaths ( the non-getting all over the place ones). I love pumpkins and fall colored throws. Throws are great in my opinion. You can change them with the seasons easily.
In our town folks drop off their leftover pumpkins at farms with pigs and leftover Christmas trees at farms with goats - and I love that for the pigs & goats! 🐖🐐 ❤
My thrifty Irish Mother used to take our little red wagon around the neighborhood the morning after Halloween, and pick up all the smashed pumpkins and make amazing pumpkin pies for our family of 9!! They were delicious!!
Halloween is my favourite!! I don't love the blow up decorations but I do love and admire when houses put in a big effort to decorate the outside with fun and/or spooky things. In our city people make maps of the houses with big decorations so people can go see them. It's a fun and budget-friendly way to explore other neighborhoods while also avoiding the hordes of people that flock to pumpkin patches.
I have 3 resin pumpkins that I put along our front stone wall. I also have 3 porcelain white pumpkins (small) that I put on the cabinet in the living room. I’ve also collected real pine cones that I put into the rustic bowl on the dining room table. Finally, I switch my candles in the DR to brown or rust. And there you go, fall... I reuse it all every year and love that I’m not buying more cra... I mean stuff.
Fall is the perfect time to get an artisan piece you can re-use every year. Personally I have a few hand-blown glass pumpkins from my undergrad’s glass-blowing department fall fundraiser. It’s a great way to support a university art department while also elevating my space for fall. I have a coastal color scheme, so all my glass pumpkins are in cool shades so they give my apartment a fall vibe while still matching the overall aesthetic. My least favorite fall decor is anything that is a single-use plastic that people use for one fall then throw out. It’s not worth the inevitable damage it will do to the environment.
Can I be so gauche as to ask why we even decorate the outside of our homes in the fall/holiday season? Do we decorate for spring or summer or winter? To me it's all become SOOOOOOO commercial and tacky....and yes, don't get me started about the blow-ups, skeletons, santas and elves or the twinkling reindeer on rooves! Once upon a time, we adjusted our interior decor to reflect the season. Just like Garrett said, pull out the throw blankets, bring in more throw pillows and light more candles on those darker nights. Cozy up! Then when summer comes remove the throw rugs and blankets and make everything look cool and serene. Do I like to see elegant, small white lights on trees in the winter? Yes, but I also love them on summer nights. I just want to REVOLT against REVOLTING tackiness and cheap OVER-DONENESS. Elegance in design is really easy: KEEP IT SIMPLE!
From watching other "Interior Design" channels, decorating for Spring and Summer is becoming a thing and I don't mean Easter decor and Fourth of July (in the USA). We're talking horrendous inflatable beach ball wreaths and arches and or fake Fruit and butterfly themed wreaths and garland type decor! And the Dollar Store DIY channels are huge offenders in making needless tacky crap!!
I don’t know if you’re videos are more humorous than educational or more educational than humorous, but I don’t care. Love them. Always and forever a fan!
Although I agree totally with you , you gave me a huge laugh with your “Karen” moment when you said that you’d call the HOA on anyone having a blowup monstrosity. You kill me. Thanks for the giggles. You have me wanting to decorate for the autumn season right this minute. I love your videos. Thank you so much.
Why do I enjoy your channel so much? Because you’re teaching, kindly, with some humor. If people use tacky decor it’s okay for them. I now ask myself “is this elevated,” when decorating.
Hmmm xmas is coming. Maybe I’ll paint my living room red with one green accent wall…just until valentines day. Then i can paint that accent wall pink. THEN, paint the other three pink for easter. Ok I’m tired now.
*Sustainable Natural Floral Arrangement* . I decided to go for a Ralph Lauren fall aesthetic. I foraged color appealing weeds and cattails. I created an amazing centerpiece for my dining room table. Two weeks later, the cattail exploded with fluff. Pro-Tip, spray with hairspray or a matte finishing product. It's not as invasive as glitter, but it goes everywhere. Bleach bath your pumpkins and gourds for longevity.
Le Chic you are an absolute savage! I just love your humor and aesthetic. Complete agreement on the "gather" and "harvest" signs. I don't love this for anyone. Keep being fabulous and doing what you do boo!
I love the jewel tones so fall is my time to allow myself to lean more into them. For my kids they love the niche Halloween decor and I let them decorate their rooms with it but it stays in their rooms. The most I’ll do is add a blanket , the pillow cases, florals, light a fall candle, and decorate our little stoop. Christmas is my real time to decorate so I save my energy for then.
My personal tacky pet peeve is over decorating. Someone has a perfectly normal space and then, poof, September 1 comes around, and it feels like you’re walking into Pumpkin Spice Wonderland! Decor on every surface and wall, and it looks more like a Kirklands than an actual living space.
Hi Garrett, I was hoping you’d do an autumn style do & don’t video, and voila! Everything you mentioned is spot on; there’s nothing more depressing than seeing those blow up decorations deflated in the yard on a cloudy, windy fall day. Yes to the tastefully arranged flowers plants & pumpkins, and thank you for being ecologically conscious about composting. The only thing I might add are some lovely candles, so inviting as the days get shorter.
Thank you so much Claudette 🤗 Glad you are enjoying! Please take a moment to support the channel if you haven't already, and join our very valued subscriber family. :)
Thanks for reminding me that it's now fall! I have an orange bin with my fall decor and usually do the same thing every year. For Halloween I turn off the porch lights, put lanterns with candles on the porch and in the windows. I cover everything with spiderweb. At night I turn on the inside stained glass chandeliers and leave a big bowl of candy out for anyone who passes by.
I definitely agree with you on not decorating substantially for every season! Maybe just a little bit of seasonal decorations here and there, in that specific season. Because I love the colors, and decor that I already have!
Soooo, agree about the blowup! They look like dead bodies when not blown up! I love arrangements of dried flowers and leaves, cinnamon por pouri,, fall scented candles, mercury glass pumpkins.
I am a new subscriber and I’m loving going through your content and catching up! My personal dislikes are the Animatronic stuffies that sing a tune when sensing movement or touched. They interrupt the flow of conversation without offering any humor or levity except a polite, if forced, smile 😬 I love a wreath of culinary herbs. They offer scent when I break off a sprig for use, and when the wreath begins to look picked over, I can take apart the sprigs for place settings or tie them on gift favors in lieu of a bow.
Omg I literally stuttered when I saw lil Albert! 😍 Please put him in a Prince Charming outfit since he is already the cutest little prince! Also, I use natural elements for seasonal changes now. Stopped with the signs once my kiddos hit high school.
I have a half life size nude terracotta statue (that I made), that lies across the top of my piano, that I dress as a witch, with a black dress, an orange chiffon cape, and a witch's hat, for the fall. I started doing this when my children started having friends come over to play. While my children have grown up with lots of art in our home, I was not ready to have other people's children going home to their parents, and asking why some of the decor in our house was "undressed." So I began changing Lady Godiva's outfit seasonally, and everyone seems to enjoy her wardrobe.
My heart melts each and every time I see Albert! He is precious, I just love him to pieces! ❤️❤️❤️. For fall, I take out the faux fur throws, darker pillows, fall foliage and a pumpkin here and there. In my opinion, Pottery Barn has the best faux fur throws.
I grew up near a mountain that had glitter dirt. Seriously! My dad told me it was mica dust. To this day I still remember just staring at the dirt with glitter in it. As a child it fascinated me.
Growing up in Colorado and exploring in the mountains I would find small chunks of mica. I was always attracted to the glittery objects like mica, iron pyrite and bits of granite and quartz.
@Erin K I live in the southeast, in Tennessee, but I have always wanted to visit Colorado. I think it’s so gorgeous and it seems breathtaking, (lol literally) . I don’t really know anything about it besides Denver. Do you have any advice for someone who appreciates nature (through a window) but isn’t exactly outdoorsy that wants to visit? Lol, stay home?
Thanks so much! Glad you are enjoying the channel. Please take a moment if you haven’t already to support the channel, and join our very valued subscriber family.
Totally agree on glitter. It's essentially instant microplastic which is a particularly damaging form of pollution as it is so difficult to remove from the environment and harmful to animals that accidentally ingest it.
♏ Scorpio here!! 🦂 I went to a Joanne fabrics for some crochet needles (for my husband's dreadlocks); and we about keeled over with all the kitchy Halloween/ Goth aesthetic decor. I just can't with how expensive AND cheaply made some stuff is! People can tell we're goth without a single bat or spider web on my clothes and jewelry; and they're going to know our home is goth without bats and spiders in our home decor. I make the exception for select Day of the Dead items, like skulls, because it's a traditional spiritual celebration of my deceased loved ones in my home. I take it seriously and with reverence. But that decor stays on the altar, not all over my house, and certainly no glitter.
The “signs” section had me laughing out loud. You are hillarious. You need your own show. Keep these videos coming. Don’t give up! God always has a plan. And it may not be today for you but stick with it and it will come. You are so genuine and honest and your message is fresh and on point! Keep these coming. I love this for me!
Great video....I do agree on the blow ups, but I will own that when you see how much fun kids have around them for neighborhoods that go all in (mostly xmas tho), I have a hard time keeping it classy and counter balance their ugly with the kids' amazement and squeals. I do love how you bring in the natural , by mentioning that you're also supporting the people who are growing the items, and composting or allowing the final toss out to help animals eat. Great suggestions, and balance for a variety of styles.
I watch several YT'ers, they decorate for fall IN EVERY FREAKING ROOM. Fall leaves in the kitchen, living room, bathroom. They also make the front stoop so crowded you need to be careful getting to the door to knock on it. Me looking at that tower of multicolored pumpkins (I know it's going to topple over as I walk by) A little bit goes a long way and saves you $$$. I subscribed when I read your headline "Tacky"
I just love when you talk about words. I can't stand words on everything. Your advice is sooo great and delivered so amusingly! Albert would be cute dressed as anything...with his petite size, how about a black cat??
I think a grand front entry with a very classy door swag and wreath is always a classic moment! Fall candles and plug ins of course we love the fall smell and a cute couch blanket that’s not tacky and matches your colors. My house is museum pop art modern so I decorated with fall minimalist with bold colors or white .. I use pieces that I ad a bit to it and I becomes Halloween decor, take away a bit after Halloween it becomes thanks giving style. Make it easy keep it simple and love that for us!!
Thank you so much Peggy! Glad you enjoyed! Please take a moment if you haven't already to support the channel, and join our very valued subscriber family. :)
Glitter made from mica does come from the ground though . . . But yes, glitter is tacky for fall. (Non-glitter sources of shine and shimmer for Christmas is my jam though)
Thanks so much! I’m glad you are enjoying the channel. Please take a moment to support a Scorpio if you haven’t already, and join our very valued subscriber family. ✨✨✨
@@GarrettLeChic I am baby! I actually subscribed the day before yesterday and I have been binge watching you ever since 🥰🥰🥰. I can honestly say that I am obsessed 😍
Glitter is forever! But I am a crafter and do enjoy it in resin and clay. Of course mica and a bunch of other fun sparkly things are crowded into my craft room. Thinking more about jewelry with glitter. And I love it for me. But not in a big decor item. Not too over the top.
New subbie here 👋 Love your mindfulness on saving money, resources, and time when decorating for the seasons. I absolutely agree, the blowups are a mess when not in use! I love changing pillow covers and scents for the seasons
Garrett the Scorpio, you never go out of style! This was such a necessary video! I love your elevated styling recommendations and supporting fall farmers. I think about what was used 100 years ago - Natural organic materials and classic autumn vibes. Forever classic! 🍁🎃
100% on everything you said. One thing maybe I would add to your "must have" list is candles. I prefer scented, but unscented is fine too. They provide such a warm, cozy atmosphere. Gotta have my candles
Thanks so much Mary! I understand as some of the fragrances can be nice, but my husband and I seem to be allergic to most of the fragrances regardless of cost.
Hi Garrett! Strong opinions about decorating resonate with me, but the way you talk just cracks me up. I had to subscribe immediately. I love you! Ps I just saw some very cute costumes at Petco. Small hot dog suit is never not funny 😆
Just tuned in, gonna love this because I HATE all that tacky crap…. don’t even get me started, let the eyesore train wreck watch begin! 😂 🙌🏼Reading my mind!
I totally agree about the blow up “ornaments “ outside….smh. I knew an elderly woman who took her pumpkins to the zoo after Halloween.. I would think that may be a good way to recycle the pumpkins, after checking with zoo management. Great video…again…smile.
Hello, Danine here, a new fan/subscriber. Adore all your tips. My must haves for the fall season is nature decor. Mega Pine cones, acorns and pumpkins are my favourites. What are your thoughts on painted pumpkins or drilled designs on pumpkins with lighting inside?
Hello Danine! We love pumpkins, and don’t paint or carve them. Painted pumpkins could be fun, but putting lighting in a carved pumpkin could create a possible safety hazard so that’s not a recommendation I would make. Ultimately, we personally just love pumpkins in their natural state best. Welcome to the channel. It’s great to have you as part of our very valued subscriber family!🎃🎃🎃
New subscriber here! I just came across your videos last week! Love your channel! This video is my favorite so far! I am a recently retired elementary art teacher who loved glitter at school but not at home! Since I taught for 33 years I think it's out of my system now! LOL I never have liked glitter on anything at home, especially on my Christmas ribbon or ornaments. Looking forward to those videos from you! I am sure you will have a lot to say...it might even have to be a two part video!
Thanks for all you've done in those 33 years! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Much more to come. Welcome to the channel Heidi. It's great to have you as part of our very valued subscriber family. :)
I took my mother into a popular craft/home store and the floors were slippery. We got a cart for her to hold onto and it was difficult to push. The wheels wouldn’t turn easily. The manager said it was from all the glitter and they power wash the carts weekly. We left because I didn’t want my mother to fall or breathe it. Why all the glitter? I have a pumpkin patch. So fun and good for the environment. Love your message. Enjoy the season! 🍁🍂🌾
Garrett, we need seasonal vignette video from you! Would you consider making one, please? I know that's not normally your thing. Thanks for the edifying laughs from this video! One thing I wish was gone for Fall : the polyester cobweb stuff is actually very dangerous to pollinators and other bugs. I'd love for people to replace it with cheese cloth!
I absolutely HATE the blow ups too!!! My neighbors put about 6 of them across their yard for both Halloween and Christmas, and they just lay in piles on the lawn throughout the day. So ugly.
There are some kids in my neighborhood that run around with a machete during the holidays and chop up people's yard blow ups. Everyone posts the videos on Ring and they're very upset. I, however, think it's an invaluable service 😂😂😂
I very rarely leave comments on channels, but I must say that you brought up some issues that I, too, find very irritating. Please know that I am no expert on decor...far from it, but there are decor items that I will not, absolutely not, have in my home. I don't follow the crowd, like most TH-cam decorators do. I have my own likes when it comes to seasonal decor colors (I go with the traditional) and items throughout my house. Thanks for sharing. Again, I am no expert and have even been told "she needs help" in the decorating field...LOL! Have a wonderful Fall season.
Your personality is amazing! I love how honest you are, it’s so refreshing, I would love to work with you one day on my home and design. You have a brilliant eye. Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us 😊 oh and now I love you even more as you’re my fellow SCORPIO! I’m November 10, I’m like hmmmm his outspoken personality is very much like mine 😂
Great video Garrett! You make me laugh every time. I have to admit that I HAD a Fall sign. I’m not even putting that up and I have run out of storage room for those tacky decorations so they are leaving. I’m now into purging and bringing in cozy vibes with some blankets, boucle pillow covers, fabric pumpkins and candles. ❤️🍁🍂🎃
Love, love, love your videos. I really enjoy your style the way you speak is very elegant. Love also your well put together outfit. This is the first time i subscribe to a channel, but after listening to you i didn't thinking twice.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you are enjoying the videos. Welcome to the channel Fanny. It's great to have you as part of our very valued subscriber family. :)
Hi Garrett.I knew I would be a subscriber as soon as I heard you talk about the gigantic blow up things! 2 other Halloween decorations that drive me nuts-the garbage bag things that have a pumpkin face on them and you are supposed to stuff them with leaves and then it’s a pumpkin decoration.Oh boy! The other one-a witch on a broom and you put it on a tree and it looks like she flew into the tree.Yikes! Love your videos.Have a wonderful weekend😊
Hahaha, I drive past one house where they always have blow-up decorations for every season, like 3 or 4 of them at a time. It is a very small house. They also display other kinds of decorations in the yard, and this whole thing looks like a perpetual yard sale. I generally don't like HOAs, but when I see that yard, I am glad our development has an HOA. And, Garrett, I totally agree with you on glitter, the tackiest stuff ever. You get a Christmas card with glitter and suddenly it's everywhere.
Slip covers were the thing back in my grandparents day. Cotton or chenille over the sofa and chairs for spring & summer. . It kept the heavy upholstery fabrics clean of pollen and dust that blew through the open windows during the hot summers. It was more comfortable to sit on. Plus the fabrics lightened up the room.
I’m lucky to live in a part of Canada where I can walk outside and cut a few branches anytime I need a bit of fall foliage. And the one tacky design thing I can’t stand? The signs - providing direction no one needs, pretending to be art. Ugh!
you are too funny with the glitter haha I just add a few things for the seasons, I don't do every holiday because I think THAT'S cheezy. Christmas is the one I put all my efforts into. Halloween for me is ignored but I do fall and thanksgiving a bit. Albert should be a daisy :D
Hi Everyone! Please note my comment about the HOA is just a joke in case for some there is a misunderstanding. We are extremely supportive of our neighbors. Enjoy the video and thanks for watching!
😊😊😊🍁🍁🍁
Such a Scorpio!! I'm here for it❤️
Loved that comment about HOA hahaha

That’s why she’s wealthy, smart thinking
I have a friend whose daughter spilled an entire jar of glitter on the carpet in her room. I said how did you fix that??!! She said, we moved. 😂 I love every word in this video! ♥️
Thanks so much Kim!🍁🍁🍁
😅😂😂😂 so true. I purchased something with glitter for my daughter 2 years ago and a lot of it spilled in my car and until today when I vacuum the car I still see a little glitter here and there. I absolutely hate glitter with my whole life.

I don't blame you. People get the craziest for Halloween decorating. I am sure it would be a blast to see your home bc I never decorate for any season at all! 😬😵🥴
Me too. I'm guilty of the blow-up decor. My daughter loves it and we spend quality time putting up the Halloween decorations together.
Halloween is for children. If your kids and the neighborhood children like it, that’s all that matters.
I think it depends on what season in your life you're in or the intent. If the intent to decorate is for your kids or the neighborhood kids, I think its darling. Not my style, but I love to see people put in the effort and have fun with it
I had a friend who had the most gorgeous slip covers for her furniture that changed for spring/summer and fall winter. I’ve never seen such beautifully made slip covers … you couldn’t even tell they were covers …they must have cost a fortune. Much better than changing furniture
That’s a great idea! I really love sewing, but I’d definitely need to make sure that they don’t look tacky
I have light beige furniture. I change out throws, pillows, and etc seasonally because I don't want to look at the same living FOREVER. It's incredible how changing out a few items can make a whole room look so different.
Thanks for sharing Luci! Great point.

Basically if it didn't come from nature and is not compostable or recyclable, or if it uses extra energy, please do not do it!

lol
Just a small sidenote: Chrysanthemums, while beautiful, are unusable for bees. Maybe opt for asters or other autumnal flowers that bees can enjoy :)
Bees are not the only pollenators
I never liked the word signs because I don’t like to be told what to do. 😂
🤣🤣🤣
Blow up's are the worst. I agree 200%. I love dried fall foliage wreaths ( the non-getting all over the place ones). I love pumpkins and fall colored throws. Throws are great in my opinion. You can change them with the seasons easily.
isn't 100% enough haha
In our town folks drop off their leftover pumpkins at farms with pigs and leftover Christmas trees at farms with goats - and I love that for the pigs & goats! 🐖🐐 ❤
My thrifty Irish Mother used to take our little red wagon around the neighborhood the morning after Halloween, and pick up all the smashed pumpkins and make amazing pumpkin pies for our family of 9!! They were delicious!!
Smart mother, I love pumpkin pie 🥧
Halloween is my favourite!! I don't love the blow up decorations but I do love and admire when houses put in a big effort to decorate the outside with fun and/or spooky things. In our city people make maps of the houses with big decorations so people can go see them. It's a fun and budget-friendly way to explore other neighborhoods while also avoiding the hordes of people that flock to pumpkin patches.
“…..the only place we gather is the car to get home…..”. 😂😂. Love my Albert!
I have 3 resin pumpkins that I put along our front stone wall. I also have 3 porcelain white pumpkins (small) that I put on the cabinet in the living room. I’ve also collected real pine cones that I put into the rustic bowl on the dining room table. Finally, I switch my candles in the DR to brown or rust. And there you go, fall... I reuse it all every year and love that I’m not buying more cra... I mean stuff.
The tacky little scarecrows stuck in a hay bale have got to go! There are so many natural options- flowers, gourds, pine cones, squashes, etc.
Glitter makes me scream being a Libra who hates a mess! LOL!😂
Fellow Libra in the House!! Omg our birthdays r coming
Fall is the perfect time to get an artisan piece you can re-use every year. Personally I have a few hand-blown glass pumpkins from my undergrad’s glass-blowing department fall fundraiser. It’s a great way to support a university art department while also elevating my space for fall. I have a coastal color scheme, so all my glass pumpkins are in cool shades so they give my apartment a fall vibe while still matching the overall aesthetic. My least favorite fall decor is anything that is a single-use plastic that people use for one fall then throw out. It’s not worth the inevitable damage it will do to the environment.
Great idea! 🎃
Can I be so gauche as to ask why we even decorate the outside of our homes in the fall/holiday season? Do we decorate for spring or summer or winter? To me it's all become SOOOOOOO commercial and tacky....and yes, don't get me started about the blow-ups, skeletons, santas and elves or the twinkling reindeer on rooves! Once upon a time, we adjusted our interior decor to reflect the season. Just like Garrett said, pull out the throw blankets, bring in more throw pillows and light more candles on those darker nights. Cozy up! Then when summer comes remove the throw rugs and blankets and make everything look cool and serene. Do I like to see elegant, small white lights on trees in the winter? Yes, but I also love them on summer nights. I just want to REVOLT against REVOLTING tackiness and cheap OVER-DONENESS. Elegance in design is really easy: KEEP IT SIMPLE!
Hear! Hear!
From watching other "Interior Design" channels, decorating for Spring and Summer is becoming a thing and I don't mean Easter decor and Fourth of July (in the USA). We're talking horrendous inflatable beach ball wreaths and arches and or fake Fruit and butterfly themed wreaths and garland type decor! And the Dollar Store DIY channels are huge offenders in making needless tacky crap!!
Nope, if I want to over do things, I will. My house, my rules. You do things your way, and I'll do things my way!!!
I don’t know if you’re videos are more humorous than educational or more educational than humorous, but I don’t care. Love them. Always and forever a fan!
😊😊😊
I see Albert as an angel, with little wings.
🐶🐶🐶
Although I agree totally with you , you gave me a huge laugh with your “Karen” moment when you said that you’d call the HOA on anyone having a blowup monstrosity. You kill me. Thanks for the giggles. You have me wanting to decorate for the autumn season right this minute. I love your videos. Thank you so much.
Why do I enjoy your channel so much? Because you’re teaching, kindly, with some humor. If people use tacky decor it’s okay for them. I now ask myself “is this elevated,” when decorating.
Aww thanks! It's great to have you as part of our subscriber family. I appreciate it.
I agree with most of what you're saying. I myself do decorate for every season. It helps with my depression. I absolutely loathe signs.
1st video and I had to subscribe as I love your honesty. (I did have a "Gather" sign). =)
Thanks so much Yvonne! Glad you are enjoying. Welcome to the channel. It’s great to have you as part of our very valued subscriber family!😊😊😊
Hmmm xmas is coming. Maybe I’ll paint my living room red with one green accent wall…just until valentines day. Then i can paint that accent wall pink. THEN, paint the other three pink for easter. Ok I’m tired now.
*Sustainable Natural Floral Arrangement* . I decided to go for a Ralph Lauren fall aesthetic. I foraged color appealing weeds and cattails. I created an amazing centerpiece for my dining room table. Two weeks later, the cattail exploded with fluff. Pro-Tip, spray with hairspray or a matte finishing product. It's not as invasive as glitter, but it goes everywhere. Bleach bath your pumpkins and gourds for longevity.
Bleaching the pumpkins will keep em looking nice longer but they won't be suitable for the animals anymore
Le Chic you are an absolute savage! I just love your humor and aesthetic. Complete agreement on the "gather" and "harvest" signs. I don't love this for anyone. Keep being fabulous and doing what you do boo!
Thanks so much! I'm glad you are enjoying. Please take a moment if you haven't already, and join our very valued subscriber family.
I love the jewel tones so fall is my time to allow myself to lean more into them. For my kids they love the niche Halloween decor and I let them decorate their rooms with it but it stays in their rooms. The most I’ll do is add a blanket , the pillow cases, florals, light a fall candle, and decorate our little stoop. Christmas is my real time to decorate so I save my energy for then.
My personal tacky pet peeve is over decorating. Someone has a perfectly normal space and then, poof, September 1 comes around, and it feels like you’re walking into Pumpkin Spice Wonderland! Decor on every surface and wall, and it looks more like a Kirklands than an actual living space.
Hi Garrett, I was hoping you’d do an autumn style do & don’t video, and voila! Everything you mentioned is spot on; there’s nothing more depressing than seeing those blow up decorations deflated in the yard on a cloudy, windy fall day. Yes to the tastefully arranged flowers plants & pumpkins, and thank you for being ecologically conscious about composting. The only thing I might add are some lovely candles, so inviting as the days get shorter.
Hi 👋🏾 my first time looking at your Chanel, my passion I decorate my home. I love your Chanel
You are a real SCORPIO! I am too 🌹
Thank you so much Claudette 🤗 Glad you are enjoying! Please take a moment to support the channel if you haven't already, and join our very valued subscriber family. :)
I just hate glitter, too. People think I am crazy.
Your not crazy!✨✨✨
In the south fall weather doesn't come till December 🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
You just crack me up…and I love that for me! ❤️
🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for reminding me that it's now fall! I have an orange bin with my fall decor and usually do the same thing every year. For Halloween I turn off the porch lights, put lanterns with candles on the porch and in the windows. I cover everything with spiderweb. At night I turn on the inside stained glass chandeliers and leave a big bowl of candy out for anyone who passes by.
I definitely agree with you on not decorating substantially for every season! Maybe just a little bit of seasonal decorations here and there, in that specific season. Because I love the colors, and decor that I already have!
Thanks so much, and thank you for watching Janice! Please take a moment to support the channel, and join our very valued subscriber family. :)
Neighbors decorated one year with pumpkins and sheafs of corn. It looked really good. Then the squirrels found the corn . . .
Haha this happened to us too. They found the corn and then the pumpkin. Not quite so pretty after that 🙈
Soooo, agree about the blowup! They look like dead bodies when not blown up! I love arrangements of dried flowers and leaves, cinnamon por pouri,, fall scented candles, mercury glass pumpkins.
I am a new subscriber and I’m loving going through your content and catching up!
My personal dislikes are the Animatronic stuffies that sing a tune when sensing movement or touched. They interrupt the flow of conversation without offering any humor or levity except a polite, if forced, smile 😬
I love a wreath of culinary herbs. They offer scent when I break off a sprig for use, and when the wreath begins to look picked over, I can take apart the sprigs for place settings or tie them on gift favors in lieu of a bow.
Yay! Thanks for sharing. Welcome to the channel Teresa! It's great to have you as part of our very valued subscriber family. :)
Omg I literally stuttered when I saw lil Albert! 😍 Please put him in a Prince Charming outfit since he is already the cutest little prince! Also, I use natural elements for seasonal changes now. Stopped with the signs once my kiddos hit high school.
🐶🐶🐶✨✨✨
I have a half life size nude terracotta statue (that I made), that lies across the top of my piano, that I dress as a witch, with a black dress, an orange chiffon cape, and a witch's hat, for the fall. I started doing this when my children started having friends come over to play. While my children have grown up with lots of art in our home, I was not ready to have other people's children going home to their parents, and asking why some of the decor in our house was "undressed." So I began changing Lady Godiva's outfit seasonally, and everyone seems to enjoy her wardrobe.
Thanks for sharing Elizabeth! I enjoyed your comment. :)
My heart melts each and every time I see Albert! He is precious, I just love him to pieces! ❤️❤️❤️. For fall, I take out the faux fur throws, darker pillows, fall foliage and a pumpkin here and there. In my opinion, Pottery Barn has the best faux fur throws.
🐶🐶🐶✨✨✨
I grew up near a mountain that had glitter dirt. Seriously! My dad told me it was mica dust. To this day I still remember just staring at the dirt with glitter in it. As a child it fascinated me.
Growing up in Colorado and exploring in the mountains I would find small chunks of mica. I was always attracted to the glittery objects like mica, iron pyrite and bits of granite and quartz.
@Erin K I live in the southeast, in Tennessee, but I have always wanted to visit Colorado. I think it’s so gorgeous and it seems breathtaking, (lol literally) . I don’t really know anything about it besides Denver. Do you have any advice for someone who appreciates nature (through a window) but isn’t exactly outdoorsy that wants to visit? Lol, stay home?
Finally, someone with class and common sense. thank you.
Thanks so much! Glad you are enjoying the channel. Please take a moment if you haven’t already to support the channel, and join our very valued subscriber family.
Totally agree on glitter. It's essentially instant microplastic which is a particularly damaging form of pollution as it is so difficult to remove from the environment and harmful to animals that accidentally ingest it.
♏ Scorpio here!! 🦂 I went to a Joanne fabrics for some crochet needles (for my husband's dreadlocks); and we about keeled over with all the kitchy Halloween/ Goth aesthetic decor. I just can't with how expensive AND cheaply made some stuff is! People can tell we're goth without a single bat or spider web on my clothes and jewelry; and they're going to know our home is goth without bats and spiders in our home decor.
I make the exception for select Day of the Dead items, like skulls, because it's a traditional spiritual celebration of my deceased loved ones in my home. I take it seriously and with reverence. But that decor stays on the altar, not all over my house, and certainly no glitter.
Interesting...my husband had dreads, he had me retwist and rewrap them on occasion but that was it. How do you use the crochet hook?
The “signs” section had me laughing out loud. You are hillarious. You need your own show. Keep these videos coming. Don’t give up! God always has a plan. And it may not be today for you but stick with it and it will come. You are so genuine and honest and your message is fresh and on point! Keep these coming. I love this for me!
Thanks so much! I appreciate your support. ✨✨✨🤗🤗🤗
I think everyone needs a beautiful fall wreath. For tacky, I totally agree on the blow up things for yards. Yuck!
Great video....I do agree on the blow ups, but I will own that when you see how much fun kids have around them for neighborhoods that go all in (mostly xmas tho), I have a hard time keeping it classy and counter balance their ugly with the kids' amazement and squeals. I do love how you bring in the natural , by mentioning that you're also supporting the people who are growing the items, and composting or allowing the final toss out to help animals eat. Great suggestions, and balance for a variety of styles.
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed.
I really like it when you say "Love that for us!" (or for you or for me.) So sweet sounding!!!
Aww, very sweet of you! Please take a moment to support the channel, and join our very valued subscriber family. :)
I watch several YT'ers, they decorate for fall IN EVERY FREAKING ROOM. Fall leaves in the kitchen, living room, bathroom. They also make the front stoop so crowded you need to be careful getting to the door to knock on it. Me looking at that tower of multicolored pumpkins (I know it's going to topple over as I walk by) A little bit goes a long way and saves you $$$. I subscribed when I read your headline "Tacky"
Thanks so much for sharing! Welcome to the channel. It’s great to have you as part of our very valued subscriber family. 😊😊😊
I just love when you talk about words. I can't stand words on everything. Your advice is sooo great and delivered so amusingly! Albert would be cute dressed as anything...with his petite size, how about a black cat??
I think a grand front entry with a very classy door swag and wreath is always a classic moment! Fall candles and plug ins of course we love the fall smell and a cute couch blanket that’s not tacky and matches your colors. My house is museum pop art modern so I decorated with fall minimalist with bold colors or white .. I use pieces that I ad a bit to it and I becomes Halloween decor, take away a bit after Halloween it becomes thanks giving style. Make it easy keep it simple and love that for us!!
Oh, Garrett! First reaction: you make me laugh! Thank you for NOT saying "DECK-ore!" Keeping it real, my man!
Garrett I get such a kick out of your videos. I love how expressive and demonstrative you are in your opinions love love love you.
Thank you so much Peggy! Glad you enjoyed! Please take a moment if you haven't already to support the channel, and join our very valued subscriber family. :)
Hi Garrett I totally thought I already subscribed. So I did today. Looking forward to more and more videos. Thank you
@@peggybarrientos4878 Awesome! It’s great to have you with us. 😊😊😊
Man, oh man, oh man! Preach it, Garrett! I love it for you that this is a reality check video! Preach on, brother.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi! I think everyone needs a candle with a good fall scent. Albert should be the little angel that we love 🤗
Glitter made from mica does come from the ground though . . . But yes, glitter is tacky for fall. (Non-glitter sources of shine and shimmer for Christmas is my jam though)
I don’t know where you’ve been all my life, but I’m grateful you came up in my feed.
Subscribed!!!❤
Wow, thank you! Welcome to the channel Veruca. It's great to have you as part of our very valued subscriber family. :)
6:01 Sister Bay!! Door County (WI) represent! Oh, and I like the idea of making Albert a vampire dog for Halloween! 🦇
I also vote for Alpire
November babies , Scorpio babies 🥰🥰🥰🥰 I love that for us ❣️😍❤️🔥😎❤️

@@GarrettLeChic I am baby! I actually subscribed the day before yesterday and I have been binge watching you ever since 🥰🥰🥰. I can honestly say that I am obsessed 😍
That's awesome! Welcome to the channel. It's great to have you with us. :)
Glitter is forever! But I am a crafter and do enjoy it in resin and clay. Of course mica and a bunch of other fun sparkly things are crowded into my craft room. Thinking more about jewelry with glitter. And I love it for me. But not in a big decor item. Not too over the top.
New subbie here 👋 Love your mindfulness on saving money, resources, and time when decorating for the seasons. I absolutely agree, the blowups are a mess when not in use! I love changing pillow covers and scents for the seasons
Thanks so much! Welcome to the channel Jaclyn. It’s great to have you as part of our very valued subscriber family!
🤗🤗🤗
Garrett the Scorpio, you never go out of style! This was such a necessary video! I love your elevated styling recommendations and supporting fall farmers. I think about what was used 100 years ago - Natural organic materials and classic autumn vibes. Forever classic! 🍁🎃
Thanks so much! Very lovely comment.
🤗🤗🤗
Supporting Fall Farmers is so choice. Words of Wisdom✨✨
@@GarrettLeChic Scorpios rule!
100% on everything you said. One thing maybe I would add to your "must have" list is candles. I prefer scented, but unscented is fine too. They provide such a warm, cozy atmosphere. Gotta have my candles
Thanks so much Mary! I understand as some of the fragrances can be nice, but my husband and I seem to be allergic to most of the fragrances regardless of cost.
@@GarrettLeChic aww, bummer. Unscented are just as lovely, and even some realistic flameless candles can give that same cozy effect.
Hi Garrett! Strong opinions about decorating resonate with me, but the way you talk just cracks me up. I had to subscribe immediately. I love you! Ps I just saw some very cute costumes at Petco. Small hot dog suit is never not funny 😆
Thanks so much! Welcome to the channel Ambria. It’s great to have you as part of our very valued subscriber family!✨✨✨
I once bought this gorgeous wrapping paper that had glitter on it. Oh boy was that a mess. Never again. Never, never, never.
Just tuned in, gonna love this because I HATE all that tacky crap…. don’t even get me started, let the eyesore train wreck watch begin! 😂 🙌🏼Reading my mind!
I totally agree about the blow up “ornaments “ outside….smh. I knew an elderly woman who took her pumpkins to the zoo after Halloween..
I would think that may be a good way to recycle the pumpkins, after checking with zoo management. Great video…again…smile.
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed.

Hello, Danine here, a new fan/subscriber. Adore all your tips. My must haves for the fall season is nature decor. Mega Pine cones, acorns and pumpkins are my favourites. What are your thoughts on painted pumpkins or drilled designs on pumpkins with lighting inside?
Hello Danine! We love pumpkins, and don’t paint or carve them. Painted pumpkins could be fun, but putting lighting in a carved pumpkin could create a possible safety hazard so that’s not a recommendation I would make. Ultimately, we personally just love pumpkins in their natural state best. Welcome to the channel. It’s great to have you as part of our very valued subscriber family!🎃🎃🎃
New subscriber here! I just came across your videos last week! Love your channel! This video is my favorite so far! I am a recently retired elementary art teacher who loved glitter at school but not at home! Since I taught for 33 years I think it's out of my system now! LOL I never have liked glitter on anything at home, especially on my Christmas ribbon or ornaments. Looking forward to those videos from you! I am sure you will have a lot to say...it might even have to be a two part video!
Thanks for all you've done in those 33 years! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Much more to come. Welcome to the channel Heidi. It's great to have you as part of our very valued
subscriber family. :)
I loved this video and I adore the way you communicate with us all. You are the best!❤❤❤
Aww thanks so much Jade!😊😊😊
I took my mother into a popular craft/home store and the floors were slippery. We got a cart for her to hold onto and it was difficult to push. The wheels wouldn’t turn easily. The manager said it was from all the glitter and they power wash the carts weekly. We left because I didn’t want my mother to fall or breathe it. Why all the glitter? I have a pumpkin patch. So fun and good for the environment. Love your message. Enjoy the season! 🍁🍂🌾
Garrett, we need seasonal vignette video from you! Would you consider making one, please? I know that's not normally your thing. Thanks for the edifying laughs from this video! One thing I wish was gone for Fall : the polyester cobweb stuff is actually very dangerous to pollinators and other bugs. I'd love for people to replace it with cheese cloth!
I absolutely HATE the blow ups too!!! My neighbors put about 6 of them across their yard for both Halloween and Christmas, and they just lay in piles on the lawn throughout the day. So ugly.
Great video!! Thank you. This is my first video I have watched by you!! I subscribed and look forward to more!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed. Much more to come. Welcome to the channel. It’s great to have you as a part of our very valued subscriber family!
There are some kids in my neighborhood that run around with a machete during the holidays and chop up people's yard blow ups. Everyone posts the videos on Ring and they're very upset. I, however, think it's an invaluable service 😂😂😂
I always love the dog segments. Albert has my heart! I vote for the vampire costume :)
Yay! He's a great boy. Glad you are enjoying. Please take a moment to support the channel, and join our very valued subscriber family. :)
I like a mummy costume for Albert. What a sweet unicorn he is!
I very rarely leave comments on channels, but I must say that you brought up some issues that I, too, find very irritating. Please know that I am no expert on decor...far from it, but there are decor items that I will not, absolutely not, have in my home. I don't follow the crowd, like most TH-cam decorators do. I have my own likes when it comes to seasonal decor colors (I go with the traditional) and items throughout my house. Thanks for sharing. Again, I am no expert and have even been told "she needs help" in the decorating field...LOL! Have a wonderful Fall season.
Thanks so much for watching and sharing! Please take a moment to support the channel, and join our very valued subscriber family. :)
Your personality is amazing! I love how honest you are, it’s so refreshing, I would love to work with you one day on my home and design. You have a brilliant eye. Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us 😊 oh and now I love you even more as you’re my fellow SCORPIO! I’m November 10, I’m like hmmmm his outspoken personality is very much like mine 😂
Thanks so much. I appreciate your kind comment. 😊😊😊
Great video Garrett! You make me laugh every time. I have to admit that I HAD a Fall sign. I’m not even putting that up and I have run out of storage room for those tacky decorations so they are leaving. I’m now into purging and bringing in cozy vibes with some blankets, boucle pillow covers, fabric pumpkins and candles. ❤️🍁🍂🎃
Glad you enjoyed it!
The signs how I don’t like the signs pumpkin patches are not In my living room😂

Thank you so much! I'm glad you are enjoying the videos. Welcome to the channel Fanny. It's great to have you as part of our very valued subscriber family. :)
Hi Garrett.I knew I would be a subscriber as soon as I heard you talk about the gigantic blow up things! 2 other Halloween decorations that drive me nuts-the garbage bag things that have a pumpkin face on them and you are supposed to stuff them with leaves and then it’s a pumpkin decoration.Oh boy! The other one-a witch on a broom and you put it on a tree and it looks like she flew into the tree.Yikes! Love your videos.Have a wonderful weekend😊
Yay! That’s awesome. Welcome to the channel Mary Ellen. It’s great to have you as part of our very valued subscriber family!🎃🎃🎃
Loved your honesty and humor. I was laughing all through out! Love it!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hahaha, I drive past one house where they always have blow-up decorations for every season, like 3 or 4 of them at a time. It is a very small house. They also display other kinds of decorations in the yard, and this whole thing looks like a perpetual yard sale. I generally don't like HOAs, but when I see that yard, I am glad our development has an HOA. And, Garrett, I totally agree with you on glitter, the tackiest stuff ever. You get a Christmas card with glitter and suddenly it's everywhere.
Wow !! Totally agree with all the tips. Just watched this video and loved every part of it. Happily subscribed. Also, I'm a November baby too !!
Yay! Glad you are enjoying Anita! Welcome to the channel. It’s great to have you as part of our very valued subscriber family!😊😊😊
Slip covers were the thing back in my grandparents day. Cotton or chenille over the sofa and chairs for spring & summer. . It kept the heavy upholstery fabrics clean of pollen and dust that blew through the open windows during the hot summers. It was more comfortable to sit on. Plus the fabrics lightened up the room.
Just subscribed! Love you , & love your channel! Thank you for being here! 🤗
Yay! My pleasure! Welcome to the channel Sharla. It’s great to have you as part of our very valued subscriber family!😊😊😊
I’m lucky to live in a part of Canada where I can walk outside and cut a few branches anytime I need a bit of fall foliage. And the one tacky design thing I can’t stand? The signs - providing direction no one needs, pretending to be art. Ugh!
“People like to mess with them cause they’re hideous”😂
I'm a November Scorpio too!! I knew we vibed!! 🥰
you are too funny with the glitter haha I just add a few things for the seasons, I don't do every holiday because I think THAT'S cheezy. Christmas is the one I put all my efforts into. Halloween for me is ignored but I do fall and thanksgiving a bit. Albert should be a daisy :D
