Funny how times change - I bought a lot of antique furniture in the 80's (because it was cheap) and everyone felt sorry for me because I didn't have new, matching furniture. I still have most of the same furniture, but now it's fashionable 😊
Back in the day, nearly 40 years ago when I was newly married and setting up housekeeping, a decorator advised me to always mix some of the old with the new! She called it “eclectic.” I have never abandoned that approach to my home decor, and I always get tons of compliments on my home with my guests wanting to know where I got that sweet, little antique chair (it was my great grandfather’s chair!), the inlaid marquetry Game table (I had it shipped over from a trip to Italy) or my Captain’s desk, etc! Thank you, Garrett, for reinforcing these classic principles! You continue to build my confidence that my decorating is not old fashioned or dated! I love your videos, your presentation, your sense of humor, your style….just YOU being YOU!
And I totally agree. I'm fortunate that my husband is a lighting designer and started in furniture design so we have a mix of vintage, mid century, antique and handmade pieces throughout our home. Proportion and then how the space feels on a sensory level are my key start points. So much pleasure comes from curating your space from sourcing majority of your possession mindfully ❤
I’m night blind so I need cool light to see better. Warm light seems to cast so many shadows that I can’t see but I do have a few warm lights for when guests come over 😂
Lighting is definitely an age issue... it's really hard to attend to intensive tasks or certain hobbies (like needlework) under yellow light. Yellow light's for parties and bedrooms, but the blue light is a "must" (over 60 here) for my home office!
I recently replaced flat-pack end tables with vintage ones and it changed the entire look of my living room. Best decision ever and I got the idea from a previous video of yours. Thanks Garrett!
My living room is designed around my coffee table. My late husband made it out of a salvaged hatch cover from a Liberty Ship. He designed the legs, laminated 2X12 boards and cut them, sanded, stained and sealed the whole thing. The hatch cover has the recesses for the grappling hooks, the metal banding around the ends -- and all the dings from the years of use on board a ship. It is truly one of a kind, and THE statement piece in that room!
I wanted to have the same wood floors in my kitchen as I did in my dining room, breakfast area, and TV room -- because the kitchen floors flowed into those rooms from two different areas. I had *unfinished* solid, hardwood, floors put down in the kitchen, and then custom stained to match the other rooms. It came out great.
My daughter and son-in-law bought a big, beautiful house in Charlotte last year. My son-in-law is a chemical engineer and senior scientist with the largest chemical company in the world. When I first visited them, I realized he had installed 4000K bulbs (at least) in the pots and light fixtures! Yikes!! Being meddlesome, I suggested that his lighting choice was appropriate for his labs, but not necessarily his home, and that 2700 to 3000K might be better. Appparently, he changed the bulbs immediately after we left. Good man! Thank you Garrett, for a great video, as usual.
My son-in-law who is a PhD chemist did the same thing. Their family room looked like an operating theatre. My daughter took over light bulb acquisition.
I totally agree about the right window treatment making the room. I’ve recently downsized to a modest 1950s home which I’m currently upgrading on a budget. But I never scrimp on window treatments. The drapes I have just had made and installed in the bedrooms elevate those rooms to a different level.
Nighttime activities, cut off fingers...I'm trying to reflect and see if I remember seeing you around any mirrors. But really, you covered all the best tips! I loved everything re: windows and treatments.
Such a ton of helpful advice as always (delivered with your wonderful sense of humour!) I am the person who stocked up on regular incandescent bulbs before they were 'outlawed'. One day when I run out, I will have your advice about 'wattage' to refer to, because if we can't trust Garrett, who can we trust?! Love your weekly 'classes' !
Hi. I agree with all you said. I use cool tone lighting in my office only, because I need to see what I´m doing. Staring at blueprints in warm tone is difficult, hehe. Mostly through the day the sun lights up my home and at night soft and inviting cozy lights is all one needs. The dimmed lights helps the body to understand that it is time to relax and gives better sleep.
Love the extra sass! Having something custom made or a unique and special artwork makes for great conversation with guests and showcases your sense of style and interests. Great video Garrett, but it would be even better with an appearance by sweet little Albert 🥰. Sending our love from Seattle.
Andie, in that subject of art, I picked up a box of large postcard sized botanical prints at a museum. They've been solid for my house, and many gifts, too!
When I moved in, the previous owner had super cold toned light in the dining room. One of the very first things I did was go pick up some warm toned bulbs because those existing bulbs made the living space feel terribly stark and unwelcoming. It's amazing what a difference light temperature can make!
Totally agree layering and lots of items 😅from my first house when I was in my 20s 30s 40s, like the authenticity of my life. A few weeks ago i had shipped from another state a buffet hutch with it a fabulous American empire style extension table with chairs. Well lucky I had a thick quilted table protector. My St Bernard jumped up on it, first time on a table ever.....and broke (cleanly thank god) the 2 inner lion legs of the tripods at each end. It's off at a specialist now for a repair. Oh well at least the st Bernard was fine 😂.
One of the rare blessings about not having much money when I was younger is that I collected a lot of vintage pieces over the years, either from thrift/consignment stores or hand-me-downs, or just being bold enough to say, "If you're ever getting rid of that...." and then being remembered 2 or 3 years later when someone was moving, decluttering, or redecorating. Lol. I do feel like our culture has taught people that they have to have all new things, and also to expect everything right away. You are doing important work in helping us move away from this mindset, Garrett! Thank you for your awesome videos! (I don't always get a chance to comment, but I'm always watching and liking!)
Thanks so much Dodie! I hope you know how much I appreciate your support. It’s great to have a mix of new and vintage. It lends itself to a more sophisticated and curated home. 😊😊🐶🐶🐶
I have always put off drapery only because I have two cats. I never thought about Roman shades. That just might be my ticket. Thank you for your video.
Good Morning Garrett, I totally agree you look good in every setting😍 What a wonderful episode. So much of flow from start to the end. It seems to be a long week without you in picture. Now that I see you and your fantastic design session, I feel better knowing that All Is Well:) Have a wonderful week ahead. Thank you for the very important design coaching, in fact before some one starts thinking of interior design to their house, these basic principles should be heard and understood. Stay happy, stay healthy..xx
That’s so kind! It’s always great to hear from you. I’m happy you enjoyed the video and thanks so much for always supporting the channel especially on the day a video comes out. You are across the world on a different day and you find the time to watch. That means so much!🌷🌷🌷
I have serious problems with SADD. I have the brightest possible lights in my home. My neighbor admitted that is gives her a headache. I NEED those lights, but now I try to remember to turn most off when I have guests.
I struggle trying to make my house look cohesive, I like different styles and colors. I’m trying to learn as much as posible from your videos. Thank you!❤
I really enjoyed this vid, especially the warm/cool light explanation. Also I follow u on Instagram and LOVE that “dream house”, it needs love (repair) so badly, but with the right touch it can be mind blowing AMAZING!!!
Thank you for all the amazing information you give consistently. It’s been a busy summer for me in my garden but it’s way to hot now and I am here for the binging of your wonderful videos into the holiday season;take care and enjoy your summer, ciao.
Garrett, what is your opinion on mixing styles of artwork? Having traditional oil paintings and modern graphic prints in the same room/home? Would love to hear your thoughts on that
Everything I consider is on a case by case basis because every space is different, and tastes are different. In theory it could work, but I’d have to see the actual art and the room before giving my opinion.
What about bathroom lighting? I have those adjustable bulbs and have them set on cool white and find it better for make up application. I recently inherited my Moms cedar hope chest that she has had since she was 16 so its from the 70s. Its absolutely gorgeous. I ordered a bench cushion for it and I am using it as an under window bench. It adds so much warmth and character to my living room which is all new flat pack furniture right now 😬 I am working on adding unique peices over time.
I think cool lighting in your bathroom is great especially if you are doing make up, but not something I would do in for example a bedroom or living room. 😊😊😊
You are so awesome. Sure wish I could have you come help me with my house. Going on six months now with sub for missing and four rooms of my house in the process of trying to Repair water damage. In the past this would have been a dream come true that I get to do my house but now I am so over it have no desire at all to redo my house again I told my hubby just spray paint everything white Clean out the old stuff and throw it back in where it was I know I won't be happy with that after it's done at this point I'm not really caring because like I said I'm over it and I'm just happy to have hot running water and after six months of no water. However listening to you is helping bring back my inspiration and creativity so thank you
Thank you for another informative video. I love a home that curates interest over trends. What are your thoughts on living in a tropical climate and relating that to your decor?
Thanks so much! In my opinion it’s nice to have a home reflect the environment it is located in to some degree. However, I think what is most important is that the home is safe and has the appropriate functionality for the particular people involved and reflects a style that makes them happy. It really is a matter of personal taste at the end of the day and what is safe/possible for a given home.
Hello 👋 great video you tackled two of my design struggles lighting and drapes I can’t get the lighting in my kitchen right and as for drapes I have none so it’s a work in progress but I’ll get there 😊
You will get there because you know what the issues are and it’s just going to take a little bit longer to get it to where you want which is totally fine. 😊😊😊
I pick up antiques and then lie and say they came from my grandma, whose ancestors came over on the Mayflower. (I mean, they came steerage, but) that usually shuts people up.
Great advice. The company we purchased our lighting from gave us the Kelvin /Lumen lighting information to help us pick what we wanted. I hate the bright LED even in the bath. More than a bit off topic: would you know where I can buy my Selva bed frame hardware? Our mover lost it and the company that sells Selva hasn't responded.😟
My pleasure! I’d have to see the space because each one is different. I’m hoping in the future to offer virtual decorating consultations on a limited schedule basis. 😊😊😊
Thanks so much! Most of the pieces you see were bought new including the piece you reference and are Theodore Alexander. I would suggest searching online for retailers near you.
Thank you for your ever interesting videos. We are building a house. In the livingroom we have a kind of bay arrangement of the windows, like a half circle, consisting of 3 windows each side and a double door in the middle, leading out to the terrace. I can`t make up my mind about how to place curtains, nobody can look into our living room - and the distance between each window is only about 10cm/4inches, and I feel it would really be crowded with curtains all the way.. I have thought that maybe no curtains would be best, maybe plants instead. What to do? Have you got an idea, please, I would really appreciate it. Love from Sweden.
Thanks so much! I’m glad you are enjoying the videos. Without seeing your space, I could not give an opinion for your specific situation. I’m hoping to offer a virtual interior decorating consultation service on a limited basis schedule sometime in the future. 😊😊😊
It could be. Depends on the space and if your landlord or rental community allows you to have that type of window covering and if they are ok with you changing it back when you move.
My mum is one of your top fans Mr Garrett, her name is Julie and she really wanted to help ya get to 100k followers 🫂🥂 so here am now apart of your army 🎉 I'm Rach and I look forward to seeing more of your videos 🌻
“Night time filming” you are soo funny, thank you for giving advice on light. I hate light that makes me look yellow. I don’t have anything organically wrong with me. It’s the bulbs 💡
I think it depends on the condition and sometimes we have to make accommodations for our pets enjoyment regardless of what would be considered elevated design. I think if the cat has been using it and enjoying it that’s an important consideration.
Funny how times change - I bought a lot of antique furniture in the 80's (because it was cheap) and everyone felt sorry for me because I didn't have new, matching furniture. I still have most of the same furniture, but now it's fashionable 😊

I also buy many older things, much better quality. You did good.

“Night time filming” you are soo funny, thank you for giving advice on light. I hate light that makes me look yellow. I don’t have anything organically wrong with me. It’s the bulbs 💡

Are old much loved "sculptured" cat trees a design no-no?
I think it depends on the condition and sometimes we have to make accommodations for our pets enjoyment regardless of what would be considered elevated design. I think if the cat has been using it and enjoying it that’s an important consideration.
Brilliant tips - another great video - have a great day 😍🐶🐶🐶🇮🇱❤️
Thank you so much Sharon! Have a great day. 🌷🌷🌷
