      I also adore plants. I'm absolutely addicted to succulents. And it means that I have hundreds of them. But not even single one I'm keeping inside the house. Couple years ago I had a tiny brain cactus and even that ended up in disaster of brown spots under the pot (no matter how careful I was with watering) and stupid little insects living around it. Seriously, I have no idea how you are doing this guys, how you are managing to keep all those plants inside.

    • @ZsuzsannaBoricalisthenics
      @ZsuzsannaBoricalisthenics 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      The thing is...plants are not decoration, they have needs of light, humidity, water and nutrients, and I hate when people treat them as a nice decorative piece and forget about taking care of them. Buy fake plants then, if you want something green in the dark corner of your room with small windows... If I have a room in my house with huge windows and tons of natural light, then I will stack my plants there, because the reason I have them is to nurture them, just like I would take care of a pet.
      I get it, if you are into enterior design, you won't want a cluttered feeling, but I like nature, and plants, and taking care of them, so I will have tons of plants nicely arranged in the spot they feel best. :)
      People who have an exaggerated amount of plants are most likely the ones who have them as a hobby and love the look of them. But I get where he comes from.

    OMG, I laughed so hard. I am guilty of the two color thing. When you showed room in the video I thought "Uh-huh, get outta my two-toned parlor!" But you are right; my living room slightly resembles a medieval Ashley Furniture Rental showroom. Yes, my sofa is brown and has a slipcover. Okay, my living room is a tacky superfund site. Whoever designed it put in a ceiling fan with eight spotlights that could light up a runway at SeaTac; adding just a couple accent lamps would make the lighting so much more... gentle... until I can afford to have the ceiling fan ripped out and donated to a hospital operating room. Thanks for the tips while I sort out what is my style versus what is in style this year (week, decade, century).

      Please! Thank you! They are too random, too far apart and make no statement whatsoever. That fan is too small for that wall, and that light with the two pieces is dominating and oppressing that small sculpture. It looks like it is about to eat it. He has no sense of scale. He went from copying one well known designer to copying another one. What is worse is he doesn't understand the aesthetic of either one. He isn't trained in interior design and doesn't understand it. There is nothing wrong with a dark brown sofa. Miles Redd uses them all the time and Brian McCarthy has one on the cover of his latest book and it is gorgeous and way prettier than the gray one in the video. Of course Arvin actually said that Miles Redd and Brian McCarthy look "cheap" to him. Right and his Ikea curtains look luxurious. GarrettLeChic actually knows what he is doing and teaches universal principles.

    My 2 cents on slip covers. I gave a large canvas drop cloth a bleach treatment and tucked it over an old sofa in my teen son's game room and added some new throw pillows and am loving it. I wasn't buying a new sofa for him and after searching slipcovers online I found some lovely modern minimal linen ones (over budget) and this drop cloth hack.
