What makes the frame work are a few things. 1. It’s completely flat and the hardware is in a separate box. 2. It’s a matte screen so it isn’t reflective. 3. It’s designed to be low powered and not use a ton of electricity running all day. As you said. The frame isn’t the frame because of the frame, it’s everything else they did to engineer a tv to do what it does.
I understand buying one because reusable metal water bottles are useful. The collecting multiple colors (more than one and a spare) I don’t understand.
the spectrum of "deinfluencing" from "a regular tv literally can't work as a frame tv" to "i just think corncob tables are stupid" was certainly a journey lmao
The biggest thing about the Frame TVs is that they aren't shiny. That matte finish both helps prevent glare on the picture and also makes it look like an actual picture.
UV light can actually cause a reaction in the wine that changes the taste of it. Which is one reason why people who handle wine professionally keep it in the dark whenever possible. I always cringe when I see one of these silly displays.
As a certified wine-drinking french girlie I find the wine display stupid because that's not an optimal method of wine conservation. Ideally a cave is the better choice but storing them in a cabinet is perfectly fine too 🙄
Thank you for saying it out loud, Nick! Stanley cups are awful! I'm a teacher, and if I had $1 for every time one of those behemoths clanged to the floor and spilled everywhere, I would ha e retired last Christmas.
10:56 - the whole point of those reusable water bottles was to eliminate unnecessary waste. So rock on, Swell circa 2017! Replacing them every year with the "it" reusable bottle is terrible for the planet.
Yup! I had a waterbotte I lost in the 2010s. Was so sad about that! Only reason I bought a watrrbottle was cause I saw one I liked (not a Stanley lol). And if I can help it, I'm not buying a new one
Here! Here! My waterbottle got stolen at school 😢 so I bought 2 custom coloured ones with my name engraved so no one else would bother. Hopefully will have these the rest of my life! I just don't understand why people felt like they or their kids needed so many??
Not to mention, buying one in every shade defeats the purpose of their alleged sustainability, and the aftermarket accessories are so tween-girl. I'm still using a metal bottle that I've had for at least 10 years.
I unsubscribed from another ID YT’er recently because 99% of her videos are Amazon finds in the style she does her home in. Her older vids had advice for all styles & were really enjoyable. She’s still enjoyable but the content isn’t.
@@michellem3879 I think that is the same one I’ve unsubscribed from. I agree her early videos were great but it seems every video is one long ad and no design. I know making a living is important but I feel her design element has become absent now. 😢
@@michellem3879I think I know who you mean and I have come close to unsubscribing too. Endless videos of “hauls” make me feel gross. Most of us enjoy getting the occasional new thing but the overconsumption is ridiculous and irresponsible. No one needs that many vases and throw blankets.
I think the beard is a great addition. The colour really ties into the rest of your hair, making it cohesive, and adding another hair zone makes the face a lot cozier. Well done getting a beard that's large enough for your mouth, a lot of people make the mistake of getting one that's too small and it just makes the whole thing look kinda crampt and odd. I'm a big believer in beards, they add comfort, they add luxury, they break up the space, they're just absolutely beautiful and timeless.
As someone who drives for a living, I find the form factor of the Stanley cups ideal for my daily 5-6 hours on the road. No fiddling with water bottle caps, fits in the cup holder, holds enough water to get me through my work day. Is my giant water cup an actual Stanley? lol no, I'm not dropping $50 on a cup. I have a $20 knockoff.
ok nick if u wont say it i will i do think a lot of those amazon influencers are doing something wrong. i dont mind when ppl have affiliate link programs even with amazon which i try to not use as much as possible bc of their working conditions and environmental contributions. but its almost unavoidable sometimes. but whats not unavoidable is these excessive hauls and constantly encouraging ppl to buy new stuff. i think at some point we need to start telling people to get a real job because constantly opening amazon packages that will end up in the trash next year is not one. i think affiliate programs need to be used how you do it, you're actually doing people a service with your recs and tips.
Getting things that were dropshipped through cargo, then shipped via plane, then delivered to the door with a delivery car, only for a 30s video ? That's nightmarish pollution for virtually nothing.
Ideally, yes. But who will establish the line between consumption and overconsumption? It'll be an endless battle as to how much stuff is the "right" amount to have. Unfortunately it's up to consumers to determine their appropriate level of consumption bc, as long as people stand to make money off of something, most are not going to stop promoting it. It sucks.
I've only just reached a point in life to have disposable income and finding your channel has been a driving factor in curbing needless amazon sprees. Keeping it classy, fam
If I came across that in person, without ever having seen this video, I'd assume it was a prop/joke/attempt at 'art'. Definitely would not take it seriously.
Thanks for speaking truth. We seriously don't need ever trendy thing out there. What happened to having your own personal taste instead of copy and pasting what's popular
I almost woke my hubby up laughing at this too. Maybe I shouldn’t be watching Nick videos while he us sleeping. Lol Nick, as always, thanks for the entertainment. I do love your decorating ideas, unless of course you are making fun of something that I have in my house. Like a boatload of boob lights. But let’s admit it, I also watch you for your making me laugh. Everyone needs a good laugh. And it can be at corn cob tables or floating lights.
AFFILIATE LINKS: I appreciate that you haven’t morphed into the modern day QVC disguised as a ‘design channel’ like so many others-who btw think they’re being sneaky by affiliate linking EVERY LAST ITEM they mention. Tacky. You put passionate critique/suggestions above affiliate links. Refreshing. Everyone loves money, but there’s a classy/transparent way to do it and I believe you walk that line superbly. Ps… the beard stays!
I'm totally with you on rejecting the vulgar display of wealth of wine stations (and wine snobbery in general). As an Italian, I think it's pathetic that wine, and any knowledge of it, has become a status symbol. And that's especially the case here in north America, let's face it. In my grandparents days, even the poorest people drank wine, most of those who had a patch of land made their own, and no one felt the need to have expensive wine in their cupboard to show off their wealth and social status. It needs to stop.
To get a good wine temperature when entertaining I follow the 30 minute rule taught to me by a sommelier: Store white wine in the fridge and take it out 30 mins before serving. Store red wine in a cupboard and put in the fridge 30 min before serving. You're welcome!
In places with warm weather, 30 minutes is more than enough to make your white whine tastes like hot soup and you'll need a wine cooler to avoid that or to keep your wine in the frigde if you don't have one.
My Samsung frame is 5 years old, so not the newest tech, but every tradesperson that comes into my home doesn’t realize it’s a TV. And it makes me smile every time.
My mom regrets not paying the few hundred euros extra now. She really wanted one and on the day their tv broke I went to the store with my dad. A Samsung with similar specs was cheaper so I called her & she went for the cheaper one. And in this family we don’t replace items until they’re broken beyond repair.
“Then we can’t be friends”. Love this episode. Because I’m older and live in a regular neighborhood, I can’t imagine people having or wanting to have that much wine. Or having food footstools. Or the bar carts in their house (we quit drinking when we children). Yes, I have my quirks like yard art, but it’s behind a fence. I think the media is responsible for most of those items. I remember certain items back over the years that were aimed at certain age groups. The expensive stereo systems that took up entire walls. I’m never impressed with what others have. I just don’t want my space to look like everyone else’s.
Amazon is kind of the modern day Christmas catalogue. As soon as it came in you started looking through it to see a bunch of ridiculous things you didn't need but would help create the wish list so your parents could figure out your gifts. Then as you grew up it sent you down the rabbit hole of things like those lights so you could find something for the person that had you stumped. Now it's 24/7 and all year long which takes the fun out of it. I miss the catalogues.
Not really a beard person but yours looks great. I love that you remind people that just because some influencer has something doesn't mean you need it. Also, most of fun of having these items doesn't last very long and will, likely, end up in a thrift shop or landfill.
I don’t have a Stanley Cup nor have I tried one either. I actually have an older Camelback that I use: However, I think Stanley Cup users should be encouraged to use their Stanley Cups forever. That way they won’t end up in a landfill and get replaced by the newest best thing.
I don't have a Stanley cup, we do have the original old school Stanley thurms and it's fantastic, it's definitely well over a decade old and we plan on keeping it forever, it has a lifetime guarantee so it really is meant to last forever 😊
Comedy and interior design in one! You have the best channel ever, I never miss a video, and "Apple Store of wine" is hysterical. As for the beard - as you always say, "you do you." If it's scratchy and itchy, get rid of it. If not, you can definitely rock it. Thank you for making me laugh today. 😂
I feel like Nick got stressed by the move and being around all-white walls for a prolonged period of time. So now his assessments of these stupid trends are extra venemous. Love it 😆
I stopped buying from Amazon about two years ago and relearned that I could actually get everything I need locally and it doesn't make my life worse. I'm glad Nick spent some time chatting about how big of a grip Amazon has on our society, I think we need to be aware of our consumption and how much we are influenced to buy.
I enjoy your advice on practicality and being sensible and not following the trend. That’s what I come here for! There are just few who are realistic in their approach and you are one of them on TH-cam who is not afraid to speak your mind ❤
“I’m in my boxed wine era” is just the best attitude! I trained my palate to appreciate Aldi’s cheapest red. Worked well for me. A little too well maybe 😂. Now I’ve trained it to prefer water ❤
THANK YOU for calling out the stanley cups...they are so ridiculous! the little charms and straw stoppers and oh my goodness I don't understand the craze. Honorable mention to the cob side table...I don't even need to say anything about it you covered it all and it pretty much speaks for itself. love your videos and the beard is 🔥!
Oh those Stanley cups… my 11 yr old granddaughter has 3 in all different colors, at $40 each. Thank you social media for allowing her to think she needs one, let alone 3. And this Mimi is happy to say she didn’t buy them.
The voice of experience says when she is 62 and looking forward to working for 5 more years until she can afford to retire, she’ll reflect back on the 100’s of dollars she spent for years on goo gas and things now gone that could’ve been saved to buy something that she really wants or needs, like a nice place to live, or a wonderful trip, or a flight to visit her mimi. Or starting a business . . . But maybe she’ll become independently wealthy somehow, or marry well, and finances won’t be a concern for her in the future.
I'm a college prof and my department has quite the collection of Stanley cups that students have forgotten to take with them after class or lab. So many that we may auction them off as a fundraiser. They are heavy and awkward. Give me my old school travel mugs any day.
I've been watching your channel and couldn't decide how I felt about you. Many designers tend to come across as elitist and phony. They may care about their craft but at the end of the day it's about image. Your honesty today about the Stanley Cup won me over. Now I know you're the real deal! Rock on!
Reg. stupid things we don't need. I work in a kitchen store, the sheer amount of junk gadgets that exist is mind boggling. Sometimes a random item becomes popular because some cheff on tv used it and people come looking for it. Every time all I want to say is "ok, what it whong with a knife?" or "you know you can do that with a spoon?". And in reality those gadgets aren't doing anything better than a knife/spoon/spatula.
I love your videos so much. They never get old. You crack me up because you just say all the quiet parts out loud and somehow you have read my mind!!!!
I’m not even a hockey fan, but when you said get rid of the Stanley cup I immediately thought you were talking about theme room (sport) decor. I’m obviously from Canada.
A year and a half ago my younger daughter was talking about the Stanley Cup I had in my closet that I was going to give my other daughter for Christmas. I had forgotten that I had bought this cup, and I had the most bizarre, hilarious conversation with her until I figured out she was referring to the type of cup I had bought, not a hockey trophy. Our Uber driver was laughing and trying to hide it. Apparently, he knew what a Stanley Cup was. I once got to actually see and touch the Stanley Cup so, even though I’m not a hockey fan, it holds a special place in my heart
The only exception to the Stanley is if you happen to have the old OG Stanley your grandpa took out on the fishing boat every weekend. Then we're cool.
I love you for the inside info you provide on how Influencers make money, and for having the integrity to only promote things YOU love instead of selling your soul to Amazon. Keep it up. I look forward every one of your videos!
You really rock the beard! My family are just getting through our daughter being diagnosed with autism (and then me, and my husband was already presumed...) and just had the light bulb go on that if we are not normal people, why do we automatically do all the normal people stuff with our house, and why don't we just figure out what works for us, or doesn't, and keep/get rid of things on that basis. Life got weirder, and so much easier! Stanley cups (not that I could really afford one anyways, but whatever) were always a hard no from me, exactly because of the teeny tiny base and big wide top--I'm a klutz, water is heavy, and the laws of physics aren't optional, you know?
I think in general people have way too much stuff and they don't need most of it. It is so easy to spend your money without leaving your home. Save your money. Congrats on the new house!! 🏡
The light bulb is so cool ! I didn't know such things existed ! If it's not expensive, when I have a son, I am definitely going to gift him one for his 7th or 8th birthday.
Congratulations Nick on your new home!!! I absolutely love your videos. Your humor and bluntness are the best😁. They are definitely inspiring me. I was wondering if you could do a video about updating an older home. Mine was build in 1973 and has wood paneling. They are not dark thank goodness but I want to paint them a much lighter color to help my home feel bigger. It’s 1,266 sq feet.
Fresh change, fresh face, new adventures!....I think it's awesome!....Is it odd that the first thing I noticed, " where's the clock?".... but, then you said you moved... Congratulations!!...Look forward to all your new videos!
I’ve never laughed more watching one of your videos then listening to your stand-up set about wine!😂 “the Apple Store in your house” “I’m in my wine box era” “pull-out a couple of Sauvy-B’s” mimicking the squeaky drink cart! 😂😂😂
“Not willing to listen to any constructive criticism regarding my appearance…” That’s why we love you ❤ New look is a keeper (I’ll speak for the office gals) 😂
First of all, your personality is fire and I love your channel. My input on the beard is that maybe roughing up your hair a little might work nicely with it. It’s be fun to see. 😊
I love your de influencing videos. Thank you for including the Stanley Cup. I hate those things. I can’t believe people became so obsessed with spending $45 on a colored cup, and wrapping hundreds of dollars up in them so they can have multiples that will sit on the shelf when really they just need one that they can wash every day.
The tiktok girl aesthetic of manicured nails and sleeves halfway down the hands literally makes me imagine how sweet it would be if humanity ended tomorrow
I am a huge proponent of finding the right water bottle for you. If a stanley cup gets you to drink more water, fantastic! If it's a yeti, perfect. If it's a sports bottle from Walmart, great! Mine personally is essentially a 2l sippy cup with a frozen stick in the middle. Nobody needs to follow water trends, they just need the thing that makes them drink the damn water.
It must feel fantastic to finally be in your home! So sincerely happy for you!!! Can't wait to see your new home completely decorated!!!! Hope youll walk us theough each step
This comment is actually for another video, but I just wanted to say that I am decluttering my (actually tiny) apartment for days now, accompanied by binchwatching your videos. It feels like a neverending project and I moved here only a year ago. But my bed is out of the corner and in der middle of the wall now and it makes a huge difference. I feel like now I am a proud bedowner. Not someone who's ashamed and tries to hide that I have a bed. (It's still on the floor though with a slated frame. Deciding for a bed is so hard.)
Thank you Nick! You saved me from ruminating about creating a bar for the liquor I've had forever, for the company that will never drop in. Time to declutter and minimize. Keep up the great work; you look fantastic with the beard!
Keep the booze if you like it, just don't add to it and you will slowly get rid of it. We have a small cabinet with our cocktail ingredients and whisky, it's out of sight and we do make cocktails on a fairly regular basis, not a huge variety, just the more common varieties that don't require multiple ingredients to make 😊
My beard and I would like to thank all of my new channel members that just joined!!
I love the beard!!! And you crack me up!!
Your humor.... BIG ❤
❤❤ love the beard. Suits your face shape and it's sexy ❤❤
🧔👍
Sorry, don't like the beard. The gray at the temples looks much more distinguished without the beard.
You've added texture to you face, which always makes a space more interesting and cozy. This is simply doing as you say.
And cohesive. Always repeat a colour and play with contrasts. But the rug should be half way under the chair, now it is too small.
I love the beard, you wear it well!
Good comment 😂

What makes the frame work are a few things.
1. It’s completely flat and the hardware is in a separate box.
2. It’s a matte screen so it isn’t reflective.

Yeah it's coming!
LOL
And I don't know what time it is...
I finally feel HEARD about the Stanley cup epidemic. It’s just a cup. I’ve had it
Lol. When I first heard "Stanley Cup" I thought it was a limited edition NHL item. Color me surprised when I learned it was... a cup.
I understand buying one because reusable metal water bottles are useful. The collecting multiple colors (more than one and a spare) I don’t understand.
And the dupes are absolutely fine! I have much better things to spend money on!
For real they’re very stupid. It’s literally just a thermos cup thingy. 😂
It is completely ridiculous. I like my $:75 cent goodwill bottles because if i lose them its no big deal. Whereas those Stanley cups are expensive.
"I'm stuck in 2017 like a good millenial" caught me off guard 😅. I feel seen and judged at the same time.
same!!! 🤣 It really was peak millennial era
Same here😆
the spectrum of "deinfluencing" from "a regular tv literally can't work as a frame tv" to "i just think corncob tables are stupid" was certainly a journey lmao
The hair and the beard are super adorable!
Thank you so much!
100%
He looks GOOD with a beard 😂. I know he's off the market for the ladies but here's to snagging a new man! 😉
LOVE the beard!!
It's a great look, but "adorable" is not a word I would use to describe Nick. 😂 Too sarcastic for adorable.
The biggest thing about the Frame TVs is that they aren't shiny. That matte finish both helps prevent glare on the picture and also makes it look like an actual picture.
Exactly!
Exactly what I was thinking.
It also has a lower refresh rate that helps with power consumption and lifespan.
Also, the Frame TV is really thin. By adding a DIY frame around a regular TV, you're just adding more bulk to it.
And when they're in "art mode", they're very dimly lit, kind of like a kindle. They're not a bright ass TV with a screen saver.
"Is it home decor? No. Should I stay in my lane? No. Because I don't want to."
Pro tip--- Store your wine in a cool, dark place. The show-piece wine storage under lights says, "I have WAY more money than sense."
True. Logically one would think less sense = less money. But life is strange.
UV light can actually cause a reaction in the wine that changes the taste of it. Which is one reason why people who handle wine professionally keep it in the dark whenever possible. I always cringe when I see one of these silly displays.
Yes, those displays show how ignorant they are about how to properly store wine.
It really is just for show 😂😂😂😂
Glad you are over the wine snobbery. You can enjoy wine without being a wine snob. Love the beard!
As a certified wine-drinking french girlie I find the wine display stupid because that's not an optimal method of wine conservation. Ideally a cave is the better choice but storing them in a cabinet is perfectly fine too 🙄
That was my first thought. Those people don't know anything about wine.
I always think that when I see these cabinets. I don't want to drink anything that's been there
Exactly, cool and dark is better for preservation.
As an Italian, I want to thank you for this comment 👏👏👏

Thank you for saying it out loud, Nick! Stanley cups are awful! I'm a teacher, and if I had $1 for every time one of those behemoths clanged to the floor and spilled everywhere, I would ha e retired last Christmas.
YES!!! 😂
I find them kinda silly too and it looks so unpractical! But I am Europian and only carry a very small water bottle with if any. I drink home :D
The first thing I thought when the Stanley cups took off was how thankful I am I'm not teaching anymore.
They're leaky trash. The Simple Modern cups are better and come in 24oz, which seems much more appropriate for a child.
“Is it home decor? No. Should I stay in my lane? No. Because I don’t want to.” Perfect…
Also big fan of the facial hair! Good call, Nick!

I thought the watermelon one was cute for a porch with a plant on it. But the other ones can go, I don't know why people want them in the house.

AFFILIATE LINKS: I appreciate that you haven’t morphed into the modern day QVC disguised as a ‘design channel’ like so many others-who btw think they’re being sneaky by affiliate linking EVERY LAST ITEM they mention. Tacky. You put passionate critique/suggestions above affiliate links. Refreshing. Everyone loves money, but there’s a classy/transparent way to do it and I believe you walk that line superbly. Ps… the beard stays!
I'm totally with you on rejecting the vulgar display of wealth of wine stations (and wine snobbery in general). As an Italian, I think it's pathetic that wine, and any knowledge of it, has become a status symbol. And that's especially the case here in north America, let's face it. In my grandparents days, even the poorest people drank wine, most of those who had a patch of land made their own, and no one felt the need to have expensive wine in their cupboard to show off their wealth and social status. It needs to stop.
Yet good quality wine enhances food. Why drink plonk if you can avoid it?
To get a good wine temperature when entertaining I follow the 30 minute rule taught to me by a sommelier: Store white wine in the fridge and take it out 30 mins before serving. Store red wine in a cupboard and put in the fridge 30 min before serving. You're welcome!
In places with warm weather, 30 minutes is more than enough to make your white whine tastes like hot soup and you'll need a wine cooler to avoid that or to keep your wine in the frigde if you don't have one.
lol. great tip
@@beautifulrose8619It really isn't, except perhaps for that particular restaurant. Ambient temperature makes all the difference.
I find your videos rather addicting. I am boomer, happy with my simple decor, but you make me laugh every time. Thank you. Love the beard!
Same here. Nick's snark always cheers me up.
My Samsung frame is 5 years old, so not the newest tech, but every tradesperson that comes into my home doesn’t realize it’s a TV. And it makes me smile every time.
My mom regrets not paying the few hundred euros extra now. She really wanted one and on the day their tv broke I went to the store with my dad. A Samsung with similar specs was cheaper so I called her & she went for the cheaper one. And in this family we don’t replace items until they’re broken beyond repair.
@@evelien135Few hundred EXTRA?! Some of us don't have money to burn, mate.
“Then we can’t be friends”. Love this episode. Because I’m older and live in a regular neighborhood, I can’t imagine people having or wanting to have that much wine. Or having food footstools. Or the bar carts in their house (we quit drinking when we children). Yes, I have my quirks like yard art, but it’s behind a fence. I think the media is responsible for most of those items. I remember certain items back over the years that were aimed at certain age groups. The expensive stereo systems that took up entire walls. I’m never impressed with what others have. I just don’t want my space to look like everyone else’s.
Amazon is kind of the modern day Christmas catalogue. As soon as it came in you started looking through it to see a bunch of ridiculous things you didn't need but would help create the wish list so your parents could figure out your gifts. Then as you grew up it sent you down the rabbit hole of things like those lights so you could find something for the person that had you stumped. Now it's 24/7 and all year long which takes the fun out of it. I miss the catalogues.
The Christmas Wish Book! Loved that! Miss all the catalogues too. Especially the IKEA one.
Exactly 💯 right 👍
Miss those catalogues
Keep the beard- but you look good without as well. Always fun to make a change!
I love that you're in your Cardboardeaux era. 🥂
😂😂 This comment needs more upvotes cuz it’s brilliant
"Should I stay in my lane? No, because I don't want to". I love it 🤣
I must quote on a tshirt. Love it!!!
”Is it home decor?
No.
Should I stay in my lane?
No.
Bc I don't want to.”
🤣🤣🤣 You bring me so much joy Nick!!
The beard works.
I love the line "the problem is it's stupid" 😊
Not really a beard person but yours looks great. I love that you remind people that just because some influencer has something doesn't mean you need it. Also, most of fun of having these items doesn't last very long and will, likely, end up in a thrift shop or landfill.
I don’t have a Stanley Cup nor have I tried one either. I actually have an older Camelback that I use:
However, I think Stanley Cup users should be encouraged to use their Stanley Cups forever. That way they won’t end up in a landfill and get replaced by the newest best thing.
Lol the phase has low-key already passed, a lot of them sold their cups or threw them out
Good luck with that wish.
I don't have a Stanley cup, we do have the original old school Stanley thurms and it's fantastic, it's definitely well over a decade old and we plan on keeping it forever, it has a lifetime guarantee so it really is meant to last forever 😊
“I’m in my boxed wine era” - I love this for you!
Comedy and interior design in one! You have the best channel ever, I never miss a video, and "Apple Store of wine" is hysterical. As for the beard - as you always say, "you do you." If it's scratchy and itchy, get rid of it. If not, you can definitely rock it. Thank you for making me laugh today. 😂
I feel like Nick got stressed by the move and being around all-white walls for a prolonged period of time. So now his assessments of these stupid trends are extra venemous. Love it 😆
Boxed wine era. 🤣🤣🤣 This is why I come back to you over and over. You make this boring treadmill so much more enjoyable.
When you said Stanley Cup, I gasped in horror. For this Canadian there is only one STANLEY CUP and it is sacred!
Yeah. How dare they?
I stopped buying from Amazon about two years ago and relearned that I could actually get everything I need locally and it doesn't make my life worse. I'm glad Nick spent some time chatting about how big of a grip Amazon has on our society, I think we need to be aware of our consumption and how much we are influenced to buy.
I enjoy your advice on practicality and being sensible and not following the trend. That’s what I come here for! There are just few who are realistic in their approach and you are one of them on TH-cam who is not afraid to speak your mind ❤
“I’m in my boxed wine era” is just the best attitude! I trained my palate to appreciate Aldi’s cheapest red. Worked well for me. A little too well maybe 😂. Now I’ve trained it to prefer water ❤
Yaaass to the beard ! Also, not having the clock is weirding me out way more than I thought... 🤣
Agreed 👍 we want the (anchor) clock. My eyes keep going to its "spot" looking for it! ❤❤😢
THANK YOU for calling out the stanley cups...they are so ridiculous! the little charms and straw stoppers and oh my goodness I don't understand the craze. Honorable mention to the cob side table...I don't even need to say anything about it you covered it all and it pretty much speaks for itself. love your videos and the beard is 🔥!
Oh those Stanley cups… my 11 yr old granddaughter has 3 in all different colors, at $40 each. Thank you social media for allowing her to think she needs one, let alone 3. And this Mimi is happy to say she didn’t buy them.
The voice of experience says when she is 62 and looking forward to working for 5 more years until she can afford to retire, she’ll reflect back on the 100’s of dollars she spent for years on goo gas and things now gone that could’ve been saved to buy something that she really wants or needs, like a nice place to live, or a wonderful trip, or a flight to visit her mimi. Or starting a business . . . But maybe she’ll become independently wealthy somehow, or marry well, and finances won’t be a concern for her in the future.
I'm a college prof and my department has quite the collection of Stanley cups that students have forgotten to take with them after class or lab. So many that we may auction them off as a fundraiser. They are heavy and awkward. Give me my old school travel mugs any day.
@@terriellis3697auction them and give the money to a good cause. And who forgets a $40 cup behind?????
Your new beard helps you look super sophisticated and adds $$$$ to your decor advice.
I've been watching your channel and couldn't decide how I felt about you. Many designers tend to come across as elitist and phony. They may care about their craft but at the end of the day it's about image. Your honesty today about the Stanley Cup won me over. Now I know you're the real deal! Rock on!
PS: You look great with or without a beard.
I'll say this again, I thought l came for the design advice. Nick's dry humor wins EVERY TIME!! The beard wins as well!❤
I am so not into the Stanley brand cup thing that I immediately thought that Nick was attacking the NHL's Stanley Cup hockey trophy.
me too 😂
Same!
Me too!!
😂
I know about the Stanley brand, but still thought about hockey things first 😂
Why am I only finding your channel now and why aren’t we best friends? This deinfluencing series is quite the vibe and it needs to be shared.
“I’m stuck in 2017 like a good Millenial”. 😂😂😂
Same, Nick. Same.
Your bar cart imitation “ ricki ricki ricki “ cracks me up EVERY time ! You are so cleaver.
Reg. stupid things we don't need. I work in a kitchen store, the sheer amount of junk gadgets that exist is mind boggling. Sometimes a random item becomes popular because some cheff on tv used it and people come looking for it. Every time all I want to say is "ok, what it whong with a knife?" or "you know you can do that with a spoon?". And in reality those gadgets aren't doing anything better than a knife/spoon/spatula.
I love your videos so much. They never get old. You crack me up because you just say all the quiet parts out loud and somehow you have read my mind!!!!
I LOVE my frame tv. Everyone thinks it’s art and thinks it’s so cool. I love being able to change and enjoy the art seasonally.
"fine, then, we can't be friends" L O L the bar cart wheels sound at the end had me laughing pretty hard.
I’m not even a hockey fan, but when you said get rid of the Stanley cup I immediately thought you were talking about theme room (sport) decor. I’m obviously from Canada.
Hahaha me too!!
Me, three!! 😂
(But, I do like hockey...)
Me 4 😂
A year and a half ago my younger daughter was talking about the Stanley Cup I had in my closet that I was going to give my other daughter for Christmas. I had forgotten that I had bought this cup, and I had the most bizarre, hilarious conversation with her until I figured out she was referring to the type of cup I had bought, not a hockey trophy. Our Uber driver was laughing and trying to hide it. Apparently, he knew what a Stanley Cup was.
I once got to actually see and touch the Stanley Cup so, even though I’m not a hockey fan, it holds a special place in my heart
Ok, I'm so not alone here!
Love how you don’t filter! Makes you real and relatable!
The only exception to the Stanley is if you happen to have the old OG Stanley your grandpa took out on the fishing boat every weekend. Then we're cool.
We have that thermos! It has to have a couple of dents from rolling out of the truck, though😂
We have one as well, it's fantastic. We are planning on keeping it forever ☺️😊😊
I love you for the inside info you provide on how Influencers make money, and for having the integrity to only promote things YOU love instead of selling your soul to Amazon. Keep it up. I look forward every one of your videos!
i love that you don’t constantly show us amazon links and that you’re vocal about not necessarily liking it for shopping!
You really rock the beard! My family are just getting through our daughter being diagnosed with autism (and then me, and my husband was already presumed...) and just had the light bulb go on that if we are not normal people, why do we automatically do all the normal people stuff with our house, and why don't we just figure out what works for us, or doesn't, and keep/get rid of things on that basis. Life got weirder, and so much easier!
Stanley cups (not that I could really afford one anyways, but whatever) were always a hard no from me, exactly because of the teeny tiny base and big wide top--I'm a klutz, water is heavy, and the laws of physics aren't optional, you know?
Plus the Stanley cups are ugly. 😂
I think in general people have way too much stuff and they don't need most of it. It is so easy to spend your money without leaving your home. Save your money.
Congrats on the new house!! 🏡
The light bulb is so cool ! I didn't know such things existed !
If it's not expensive, when I have a son, I am definitely going to gift him one for his 7th or 8th birthday.
“Should I stay in my lane? No!” That’s the beard talking! Lol!
Congratulations Nick on your new home!!! I absolutely love your videos. Your humor and bluntness are the best😁. They are definitely inspiring me. I was wondering if you could do a video about updating an older home. Mine was build in 1973 and has wood paneling. They are not dark thank goodness but I want to paint them a much lighter color to help my home feel bigger. It’s 1,266 sq feet.
Just found your channel yesterday. I LOVE how honest and down to earth you are. And yes, the beard works for you. Very nice!
Fresh change, fresh face, new adventures!....I think it's awesome!....Is it odd that the first thing I noticed, " where's the clock?".... but, then you said you moved...
Congratulations!!...Look forward to all your new videos!
Okay, Nick, you’ve done it. The wine “area” thing tipped it….this is now the best video you’ve ever done. Bravo!
Honesty, sarcastically honest and funny and entertaining, mom's inner voice channelled, but all makes sense!
Love it !!!
I agree with the ridiculous indulgence that people feel the need to share. I don't care what you have or don't have
The corncob table makes me want to floss.
😂😂😂😂😂 me too 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I don't like the unsettling bite taken out of it
I’ve never laughed more watching one of your videos then listening to your stand-up set about wine!😂 “the Apple Store in your house” “I’m in my wine box era” “pull-out a couple of Sauvy-B’s” mimicking the squeaky drink cart! 😂😂😂
“Not willing to listen to any constructive criticism regarding my appearance…”
That’s why we love you ❤
New look is a keeper (I’ll speak for the office gals) 😂
First of all, your personality is fire and I love your channel. My input on the beard is that maybe roughing up your hair a little might work nicely with it. It’s be fun to see. 😊
I love your de influencing videos. Thank you for including the Stanley Cup. I hate those things. I can’t believe people became so obsessed with spending $45 on a colored cup, and wrapping hundreds of dollars up in them so they can have multiples that will sit on the shelf when really they just need one that they can wash every day.
NICK I LOVE YOU FOR THE STANLEY CUP COMMENTARY
The tiktok girl aesthetic of manicured nails and sleeves halfway down the hands literally makes me imagine how sweet it would be if humanity ended tomorrow
That should not have made me smile, but it did
Your videos bring me so much joy and are also helpful and appreciated. I also support the facial hair!
The corncob table looks like something from a pediatrician office waiting room play area.
I am a huge proponent of finding the right water bottle for you. If a stanley cup gets you to drink more water, fantastic! If it's a yeti, perfect. If it's a sports bottle from Walmart, great! Mine personally is essentially a 2l sippy cup with a frozen stick in the middle. Nobody needs to follow water trends, they just need the thing that makes them drink the damn water.
totally agree - for me it has been my Blender Bottle.
Nick - Your new look IS WORKING FOR YOU!! Love your videos and design advice.
It must feel fantastic to finally be in your home! So sincerely happy for you!!! Can't wait to see your new home completely decorated!!!! Hope youll walk us theough each step
Yes!!!! Please, this!
I'm adding "drink fridge-chilled wine with Nick and trash decor styles all night" to my bucket list. 😂☠️
Great idea!
This comment is actually for another video, but I just wanted to say that I am decluttering my (actually tiny) apartment for days now, accompanied by binchwatching your videos. It feels like a neverending project and I moved here only a year ago. But my bed is out of the corner and in der middle of the wall now and it makes a huge difference. I feel like now I am a proud bedowner. Not someone who's ashamed and tries to hide that I have a bed. (It's still on the floor though with a slated frame. Deciding for a bed is so hard.)
Thank you Nick! You saved me from ruminating about creating a bar for the liquor I've had forever, for the company that will never drop in. Time to declutter and minimize. Keep up the great work; you look fantastic with the beard!
Keep the booze if you like it, just don't add to it and you will slowly get rid of it. We have a small cabinet with our cocktail ingredients and whisky, it's out of sight and we do make cocktails on a fairly regular basis, not a huge variety, just the more common varieties that don't require multiple ingredients to make 😊
@@anaalves3658 That's great advice, thank you!
"Food related furniture" lol I think that basically says it all. I love the beard!
