Miss Hooty hooty hoo will be devastated that you threw shade at her lanterns. She will not invite Arvin to sit in her kitchen and have cookies from her counter displayed food jars under her massive "Gather" sign.
Arvin you are hilarious! I don’t even care what topic you discuss: kitchen remodeling or a living room decoration. I simply laugh my behind out when you talk :) Thank you for your sense of humor!
I LITERALLY came down to the comments to say just this!! i smile + laugh so much in their videos, especially when Arvin cracks themselves up, omg that's the best. I needed a good laugh today :)
I do like the lanterns but you’re right - they’re just everywhere. That’s when people start getting tired of something. It’s not that it ever looked bad, it’s just too common.
The problem I have with the brass is that most of the time it’s lacquered brass which looks gaudy and cheap. But unfinished brass? Baybeeeee that kind of patina just gets so good!
The horrified look on my husband's face when I showed him the toilet in the kitchen...was priceless!! No matter how bad my day is, Arvin's laugh and personality always bring a ray of sunshine!
I am gagging at the thought that somewhere in the world, there is an integrated toilet in a kitchen. WTH?!! ps, the arranged cookies are ridiculous. Who has time for this?
Talk about unsanitary, I also cringe when I see this in people that convert busses or vans into tiny homes….there’s a phrase “you don’t sh*% where you eat” for a reason
Iris Apfel was QUAKING when you said “if you wear 10 gold necklaces and 10 gold bracelets and big gold hoops, you’ll look crazy” 🤣 I heard her voice “Arvin, MORE is MORE!” 😂 I absolutely agree with you on these tips! Phew! Passed the test this round! 😆 also, Andrew, your edits were terrific! 🙌♥️ you make a great team 🥰
Well, certainly, while making it down her NY streets for whatever, she's not stylilizing for no camera. I adore her, though electronically, her whole Virgo honesty & consistency & youthfullness-classic-natural-born style, imo. ❤😊
My daughter and I laughed so hard when you talked about the gather sign because we have one in our kitchen lmao, but I was already tired of it before I saw this video hahaha. You're hilarious! Love your videos :)
That last “stop doing this” was too cute!! I love hearing your opinions and laughing with you!! You have great taste, give fabulous, affordable (but sometimes not 🤣) advice, and go about it all so playfully. I don’t get how people get offended, and if you are offensive, why do they continue to watch? Lol
Arvin, I thought you would share with us the importance of cooking our meals. I know there are a lot of companies that deliver meals. But, how hard is it to look up a recipe, buy the ingredients from your supermarket yourself. We are becoming a lazy society. I was taught as a little girl the enjoyment of cooking is going to the market picking out the ingredients by look, touch, and smell. Then I would come home and cook with my husband, family member, or friend. And for those of us who are elderly and have a special needs adult at home. Online ordering from your neighborhood market is so simple these days, for pickup or delivery. I feel we all need to support our Community markets and stores. That’s my opinion.
The notes about the pendants in the kitchen--- SO TRUE!! I have a client that has a huge kitchen with 3 tiny lantern style pendants and it is time that they come down. Going to replace those stat with some of your rec's. Thank you so much for the clarity and great tips!
We have the 3 pendant problem (lol) - they came with our house and I want them gone. Do I just cap the middle one when I put in a couple of bigger fixtures?
@@heatherw5632Sometimes when you cap the center one the other two are not equal distance from each other. 26-30 inches is the ideal distance between the pendants. Allow 12 inches from the edge of the island to the light fixture. To do it right, I would hire an electrician and handyman for the drywall touch up. First, have the light you have in mind to show the electrician, then have an electrician move the power to where it needs to be, then have the handyman fill in the drywall holes, patch, and paint. It can add up in costs but it is very much worth it in the end. Hope this helps!
Listen, I don’t agree with you about the gold jewelry, but the brass tip was genuinely really helpful 😅 I haven’t been able to figure out why I sometimes like a little bit of brass and why I sometimes think it looks super tacky - thanks for identifying the issue for me! It’s totally when it’s absolutely everywhere that I don’t like it.
No way, no how, could I live with cookies on the counter! I would eat a couple every time I pass by. My husband asked who I was listening to, and he said you sound really smart about design. That is a HUGE compliment for you!
Bingo on the brass everything!! Your analogy of brass to gold jewelry is so true. Brass was so overdone in the 70s which is why some of us still shutter when we see brass knobs
Hi, Arvin, i dont have ANY of those "Stop doing..............to your kitchen" 🤭🤭🤭. I keep my kitchen simple and with things that i REALLY need. Tyvm for the video. "PEACE & LOVE".✌ Note: i love your laughing, makes me laugh.😁🤭
Arvin, I freaking love you...you fill my heart with joy...your mom must be so proud of you (your dad too, but boys are mom's babies lol)....your personality and life bring joy to my heart. love your videos and your valid points.
I was worried about being offended but thank goodness none of these things are in my kitchen. I always thought that plastic rugs were for outdoor spaces.
Okay so i need like genuine help, how can you tell if a rug is plastic? I really struggle with rugs, I’m really trying to learn. Is viscose like a plastic rug?
They look obviously plasticky most of the time, but figuratively, polypropylene is a form of pliable plastic used to make rugs and other textiles and he refers to it as plastic.
@@vaderladyl so polypropylene is the only plastic used in rugs? Is viscose for example still considered a fabric? And thank you for explaining all this to me I appreciate it 😊
@@LinaRoseAlenina You are welcome. There are several materials that are plastic/man made materials, used on rugs like olefin (which is another name for polypropylene), nylon, polyester and acrylic. Viscose is a fabric and a type of rayon, and is considered both natural and synthetic. Still a good choice for rugs but more delicate than the plastics. Always check labels for percentage of materials used if they are disclosed on it, as even some poly or plastics ones with high quality, densely woven fibers or a blend with other natural materials are higher quality and durable, and washable with a steam machine like Rug Doctor, for example, if right now, you cannot afford natural materials like jute, straw, wool, cotton, and such., they are a better alternative. But mind you, sometimes is better to save for a natural one to buy later, as some of those made with higher quality synthetic materials can be a s pricey as the natural ones and won't last as long. But then again, even a wool one can look like crap if not maintained correctly.
Several of the tips you gave reminded me of Coco Chanel quotes. First: when thinking about adding brass accessories to your kitchen: “Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take one thing off.” In other words, "Less is more." Also, we need to be ourselves and not copy a style just because it is the trend. “The most courageous act is to think for yourself. Aloud.” I think this is something we all can take to heart, and it is something you almost always say at some point in your videos.
I actually like the "plastic rugs" LMAO IDK WHY!! I guess because they're soft to me & more affordable since I'm a college student on a budget LOL, but great video Arvin! :)
It is great that you encourage us to find our own way in our spaces instead of slavishly following the "trend du jour," and that you fit so much information into your always amusing videos. Love, Ms. Hooteehooteehoo.
I'm not against one cookie jar on the counter, esp if you have kids and they're allowed to have a couple of cookies and milk when they come home from school.
OMG! How do I "unsee" what I just "saw"...a toilet in your kitchen!!! Never knew about this trend (that never should be followed). I can always count on you to give me a giggle, plus amazing information on your opinions on so many wonderful. Happy August Arvin! Keep 'em coming - you're great!
Great tips! My all time favorite is, “Rae Dunn is DONE!” I hear you say it every time I see words on decor. Thanks for the great tips, Arvin! You make me laugh!
YES !!! Love your laugh and personality and how you deliver info. I enjoy how honest you are that this is your opinion and your style, but hey there's a lot of us who agree with you. I've been binge watching your videos lately, and so I had to sub. I even watched your newest . Happy New Year and looking forward to some more giggles and good info.
I’ve been noticing Rae Dunn items at Thrift Stores. You said months ago “we are done with Dunn” and the people have listened!! If those items are ending up at the Thrift people are purging their homes thank God! Arvin, the people are taking their cues from you! Thank you!! Because of you I now own a great face scrub, a fantastic candle lighter, the best stain remover and so much more. I’ve rid my home of my “ home” sign and I’m just fine! You are fantastic. Andrew, great job editing! And I just love your boys Marble and Sage!
I just love your videos. You would probably cringe at my decor (almost everything is from dead relatives). But you really brighten my day and I have gotten some really good tips.
We needed that aromatherapy session after that toilet in the kitchen! I always love your videos and your vibe. I continually get a giggle from the stop doing this series.
Large kitchen pendants… I like the smaller ones because I don’t WANT to notice the fixtures. I like light that comes out of no where. Lamps and fixtures are actually something I dislike. I never find anything I like unless it’s very traditional like Tiffany etc. also, the large pendants bring the height of the ceiling down, I feel like. I don’t want the added horizontal line created by the bottom of the pendants lol they feel like they belong outside if they’re huge. Lol but its just my opinion. Lol lighting fixtures are annoying to me in general lol Also, as A mega cook at home… you need lighting at your different stations. They focused the light right there because that’s where they do a lot of their chopping and stuff (right next to the sink) and there’s a huge difference between what something looks like from way way way far away and what it actually feels like inside the space. Those lights are situated perfectly for someone working in the space. Lol ❤️
@@EH23831 we have them too. I do have a couple lamps but they’re banker task lights and a Tiffany lamp. They’re Big statement bold pieces. That’s me though.
Currently building a house and I’m glad I stumbled upon your channel. I’ve been shopping for decors, furnitures, and color schemes and your channel gave me great inspirations! Definitely helped with figuring out what I want. I just have to fight my husband now cause his taste is so tacky lol. Thanks for the advices and the laughs!
You are lovely. Thank you for your wonderful ideas and reminders that your videos aren’t judgments. I’ve unsubscribed from my other decor advice peeps and now I’m with you only. You’re warm, funny, and wise - a beautiful combination.
This series always gives me the laughs! Him just throwing shots at everyone lol I'm over my cookie jar phase 2 years ago but I still cringed LMAO I won't do the tiny pendants again. 🤣🤣🤣
Recently discovered your channel and I gotta say I really enjoy it. I love how a lot of what you promote is individuality and steering away from mass produced items and decor. I really love how you make it a point to tell your viewer that if they enjoy any of the items you critique that they should continue to feel that way and not to let anyone change how they feel about something in their home that they love.
I feel like the lantern is one of the very few kitchen pendants that are easy to clean which is why a lot of people choose them… and they go with a vast array of design styles including transitional
I loved this "Stop Doing This" series! They are hilarious! I also never understood the idea of organized food display - even worse is the FAUX food displays!! They even make them smell like real! UGH! And the toilet in the kitchen?! Hygiene?!
Lol me too love him and his laugh! Not my nature but I’d become the petty dirt storyteller and tell ENTIRE neighborhood‘don’t ever eat her food ewwww gross toilet in the kitchen!’ 😝😝😝😎
I have found several pictures online of toilets in strange places: up on a pedestal, in a dining room, in the kitchen - along with a shower! - and in the bedroom.
Arvin, lol re: the brass kitchen! With that striped awning over the INSIDE of the window, why not add the candy jars and hey, maybe a popcorn machine? I can't.
Honey I’m here for it!!!! Thank you Arvin! I’ve sooooo much enjoyed watching you & your office couch evolution. Thank you for blessing us with such incredible content!!!! Love you
this is the first time i ever actually sat through a sponsored section of a video, because i was looking RIGHT past the food you were showing and stared at your GORGEOUS countertops the whole time! ugh that marble, i'm OBSESSED!
Love it! Your "negatives" are always upbeat and fun and not shaming anyone. Could you add a video about rugs in the kitchen? We know you are the Rug Master! Should it be runners? A big rug? Nothing I do in there ever looks right. Please give some dos and don'ts for kitchen rugs. 🙏
Thank you so much. When you post these and I look around my house I can see why I'm never satisfied with how my home looks. Maybe I can now stop wasting money.
I looooooooove this video!!!!!! and all your videos as well. You are so much fun. I respect all your suggestions. You are just amazing!!! Love from New York City! 🥰
Andrew has massive editing skills! I agree though with all you said. Little things like that elevate your space to look expensive rather than box store.
You’re amusing as always. Have to admit though that I have one of the Loloi rugs you disdain. Oh, I had (note “had”) a stunning 100% wool hand woven rug in my living room. Had. It was gorgeous. For a day. The cats and hubby ruined it. They pulled on threads. They had hair balls. (just the cats) They spilled stuff. They came in from the garden with muddy sneakers. I’d rather have a rug I can clean that stands up to all the abuse. Would I love an Anatolian kilim in neutral tones? Sure. But I also don’t want to look at something in such disrepair.
LOVE this! Thank you, Arvin for stating the obvious! If you love it already- KEEP IT for goodness' sakes! If you are like me and are just starting and don't have a clue...WATCH ALL of the videos, get some great ideas, and choose what you want! 💖
NO!!! Lol Everyone under the sun has that list on their wall. Worst part is that 99.99999% of those people are the most unhappy, bitchy, inpatient people on the planet. hahaha 🤣
Hello, I only come to your channel to laugh and have fun because you always make me laugh. But, I decorate with antiques, inheritances and my family memories.
I love watching these series it’s hilarious your laugh is contagious some things I have found you don’t like in my home but hey who cares like you said it’s just an opinion and I love it thanks for the laugh have a great weekend
Great video. Thanks for giving me pause on things and making me think “do I actually like this? Or is this a trend I’m being told I should like?” Once again though, I will not give up my washable rugs. I know they are a little obvious and fake but a real rug will just get too dirty with my two dog lifestyle.
White kitchens with huge pendant lanterns. It’s everywhere! Two of my friends just built and did this. However I did the opposite and I ended up doing the three small pendants that you don’t like on a 12ft island. I have the Kelly Wearstler brass and alabaster ones and I love them! I wanted more of a modern look Without it being over bearing. I paired it with the Kelly Wearstler Rosseau fixture that is over my table. If I would’ve done bigger pendants over the island it definitely would’ve looked horrendous and gaudy.
I agree with you, I went with 3 smaller pendants as well. I suppose it's personal preference because I think larger ones are distracting and I don't really want the lights to be the focal point of my kitchen.
Finally someone brave enough to call out the strangeness of displaying well-organized cookies 😂 How stale must those be??

They focused the light right there because that’s where they do a lot of their chopping and stuff (right next to the sink) and there’s a huge difference between what something looks like from way way way far away and what it actually feels like inside the space. Those lights are situated perfectly for someone working in the space. Lol ❤️
That’s where you need just down lights (recessed into the ceiling) we have them everywhere in our house..
@@EH23831 we have them too. I do have a couple lamps but they’re banker task lights and a Tiffany lamp. They’re Big statement bold pieces. That’s me though.
Good segue to aroma therapy from the toilet in the kitchen. 😂
Ahahaha you like thatc?!
Currently building a house and I’m glad I stumbled upon your channel. I’ve been shopping for decors, furnitures, and color schemes and your channel gave me great inspirations! Definitely helped with figuring out what I want. I just have to fight my husband now cause his taste is so tacky lol. Thanks for the advices and the laughs!
You are lovely. Thank you for your wonderful ideas and reminders that your videos aren’t judgments. I’ve unsubscribed from my other decor advice peeps and now I’m with you only. You’re warm, funny, and wise - a beautiful combination.
This series always gives me the laughs! Him just throwing shots at everyone lol I'm over my cookie jar phase 2 years ago but I still cringed LMAO I won't do the tiny pendants again. 🤣🤣🤣
Recently discovered your channel and I gotta say I really enjoy it. I love how a lot of what you promote is individuality and steering away from mass produced items and decor. I really love how you make it a point to tell your viewer that if they enjoy any of the items you critique that they should continue to feel that way and not to let anyone change how they feel about something in their home that they love.
Honestly you deserve a million subscribers. Your content is so good
I feel like the lantern is one of the very few kitchen pendants that are easy to clean which is why a lot of people choose them… and they go with a vast array of design styles including transitional
I was impressed to see you cooking! You go Arvin!!! Meal looked delicious chef's kiss
You are THE BEST. No Miss Hoody Hoo Hoo stuff here. NEVER JAMAIS NO NOT NEVER NOT EVER . NEVER..... PERIOD.
I loved this "Stop Doing This" series! They are hilarious! I also never understood the idea of organized food display - even worse is the FAUX food displays!! They even make them smell like real! UGH! And the toilet in the kitchen?! Hygiene?!
Lol me too love him and his laugh! Not my nature but I’d become the petty dirt storyteller and tell ENTIRE neighborhood‘don’t ever eat her food ewwww gross toilet in the kitchen!’ 😝😝😝😎
Omg they have faux food displays??? Why??
@@Intuition_malnutrition Exactly!
I have found several pictures online of toilets in strange places: up on a pedestal, in a dining room, in the kitchen - along with a shower! - and in the bedroom.
My Ruggable Rugs don't look or feel like plastic. They are beautiful!
Yeah with a 4 year old, my Ruggable is soo necessary! One day I will upgrade but I love it.. so soft and pretty…
Arvin, lol re: the brass kitchen! With that striped awning over the INSIDE of the window, why not add the candy jars and hey, maybe a popcorn machine? I can't.
When you said "boring foods" I knew the ad is coming hahahaha
And we Stan a sponsored video!!!!!
Same, but when I saw it was healthy, organic, REAL food, I was SO happy! Food allergies here, so it’s nice not to see ads for junk food and crap!
Honey I’m here for it!!!! Thank you Arvin! I’ve sooooo much enjoyed watching you & your office couch evolution. Thank you for blessing us with such incredible content!!!! Love you
this is the first time i ever actually sat through a sponsored section of a video, because i was looking RIGHT past the food you were showing and stared at your GORGEOUS countertops the whole time! ugh that marble, i'm OBSESSED!
Love it! Your "negatives" are always upbeat and fun and not shaming anyone. Could you add a video about rugs in the kitchen? We know you are the Rug Master! Should it be runners? A big rug? Nothing I do in there ever looks right. Please give some dos and don'ts for kitchen rugs. 🙏
Love your white linen jacket. Wish you had mentioned something about it. Maybe next time 😘
Thank you so much. When you post these and I look around my house I can see why I'm never satisfied with how my home looks. Maybe I can now stop wasting money.
Changing things up, always a winner, and exciting👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
“Mmhuhaha” love your laugh. Great video and great delivery. I’m new to your channel and enjoying your content thus far.
The toilet integrated....oh my gosh....!
I am so drawn to your infectious giggle and laugh!!! Love it!
my 2 year old likes to watch your videos with me. She will copy your hand gestures & start singing the baby shark song 😂
That last tip brought on tears of joy in my heart. You are golden. ❤️
😂😂😂 Not transition from the talk of toilets in the kitchen to aromatherapy 😂😂😂 I think real tears came out my eyes!!
the best part of your videos is the energy you serve the videos with. 🔥
I looooooooove this video!!!!!!
and all your videos as well. You are so much fun. I respect all your suggestions. You are just amazing!!! Love from New York City! 🥰
You're just simply the best. Period. No more talk.
The "gather" sign, lol!
You’re literally the only persons opinions I fully agree with! Your videos are everythingggggg
Arvin, Nick and Kiva - my spirit animals
Arvin. Check. Kiva. Check. Now , who is this Nick you speak of??????!!
@@tracygarrett3952 Nick Lewis.
Yes. I watch all 3. Kiva is my favorite.
Andrew has massive editing skills! I agree though with all you said. Little things like that elevate your space to look expensive rather than box store.
Seeing you sprinkle the spice on the pan from that distance made me realize , you reelally dont cook🤣
Totally agree about not eating the same boring foods. I am so stuck in this, but at least I do super healthy.
You’re amusing as always. Have to admit though that I have one of the Loloi rugs you disdain. Oh, I had (note “had”) a stunning 100% wool hand woven rug in my living room. Had. It was gorgeous. For a day. The cats and hubby ruined it. They pulled on threads. They had hair balls. (just the cats) They spilled stuff. They came in from the garden with muddy sneakers. I’d rather have a rug I can clean that stands up to all the abuse. Would I love an Anatolian kilim in neutral tones? Sure. But I also don’t want to look at something in such disrepair.
Thank you. Ditto to comments. My faves are your laugh, the horn, but the scream is it! I think you are great!
LOVE this! Thank you, Arvin for stating the obvious! If you love it already- KEEP IT for goodness' sakes! If you are like me and are just starting and don't have a clue...WATCH ALL of the videos, get some great ideas, and choose what you want! 💖
I was going to STOP watching your videos but I’m learning a lot. Thank you so much for your opinions and recommendations.
you can always add a live, laugh, love wall art or sticker to your home!! it looks so cute & really elevates your home!
Oh god. This is a joke yeah ?
NO!!! Lol
Everyone under the sun has that list on their wall. Worst part is that 99.99999% of those people are the most unhappy, bitchy, inpatient people on the planet. hahaha 🤣
@@thebewitchinghour831 babe it was a JOKE y'all be so dumb
Hello, I only come to your channel to laugh and have fun because you always make me laugh. But, I decorate with antiques, inheritances and my family memories.
I love watching these series it’s hilarious your laugh is contagious some things I have found you don’t like in my home but hey who cares like you said it’s just an opinion and I love it thanks for the laugh have a great weekend
I found you by accident, but watched your videos ALL DAY! Your tips, astetics and attitude are great. I love your energy and am a fan. Thank you. 😊
And no faux fruit! Yuk. By some real damn fruit! 🤣🤣
Great video. Thanks for giving me pause on things and making me think “do I actually like this? Or is this a trend I’m being told I should like?” Once again though, I will not give up my washable rugs. I know they are a little obvious and fake but a real rug will just get too dirty with my two dog lifestyle.
Haha you crack me up
TF upppp!!! 😭😭😭
I love your attitude I break all decor rules but love listen to you. Keep being you
White kitchens with huge pendant lanterns. It’s everywhere! Two of my friends just built and did this. However I did the opposite and I ended up doing the three small pendants that you don’t like on a 12ft island. I have the Kelly Wearstler brass and alabaster ones and I love them! I wanted more of a modern look Without it being over bearing. I paired it with the Kelly Wearstler Rosseau fixture that is over my table. If I would’ve done bigger pendants over the island it definitely would’ve looked horrendous and gaudy.
I agree with you, I went with 3 smaller pendants as well. I suppose it's personal preference because I think larger ones are distracting and I don't really want the lights to be the focal point of my kitchen.
Great video Arvin!! Thankfully I was not on your list this time around. You are hilarious yet knowledgeable. I love your channel!!😊😎☺️
Creativity is always in style. Do what speaks to you!
Unless you creative ideas are garbage

Agree. To each their own.
How boring life would be if we all were the same.
LOVE UR VIDEOS!! I was wondering if the kitchen with a toilet conversion was maybe part of a van build?? Hahah! Much love!!! ❤️
