Nick unreservedly coming after the re-containering trend is GIVING ME LIFE 👏
People that do this need to get a life. And God help their kids, if they have any. If servants are told to do it - my grandmother would say these people hv more money than brains and will soon hv neither!. 🤣🤣🤣
That's my guy! 😂😂😂
My pet peeve. The special plastic container I use to put my oatmeal in can hold 2kg. But the oatmeal I buy come in 2.25kg bags.
Re-containering for aesthetics is bullshit and wasteful and I wasn't aware people are out there doing that. All the re-containering that happened in my life so far was due to food moths 😢 once you have them you can only seal everything airtight
@@setapart2879 Well said - common sense prevails !
The other big issue about throwing out original containers, is you don't have the expiration date, lot #s (in case of a recall), or ingredients (in case you have a guest with allergies).
Great call!! I hadn't considered that. For recalls, that's really important.
Also, a lot of food will go bad faster once you open the container.
Excellent point!
These folks either have way too much time on their hands to care or are ocd.
You are so right! You would lose track of when you need to throw out groceries. Also, who time to then clean all those containers then take time to put everything in those containers. I work full time with additional responsibilities outside of work. He's right if it's for functionality, great but no ones sees your frig.
Nick just walked into the home decor section of an Urban Outfitters and was struck with this video idea 😂
lmaooo so true
so true LOL
Lol I saw the mushrooms one coming 😂 I had them in my wedding and I’ve fallen for some of the the cottage-core style home design concepts. I died when you compared this trend to the chicken/farm home decor of the 90’s but it’s too late for me, I’m too far gone, I’m gonna be keeping my mushrooms 😂 🍄 ❤
And there's definitely a way to be cute and tasteful about it. I dunno... I think mushrooms are the next owl or fox motif vs farmhouse chicken. Like, if you love it, you're gonna love it for a long time.... if you think its cute and charming, you might add a couple pieces here and there. I actually think a mushroom themed powder room would be hilarious. They make mushroom shaped bar soap. LoL
The mushrooms remind me of the Owl craze of 2010. Owls everywhere! Jewelry, decor, tattoos, clothing….then it was followed by the fox. 😅
I went to a baby shower in the mid 2010's that had a Harry Potter theme, and there were owls hiding EVERYWHERE. Peering around corners, looking in through the windows, any solid surface that would accommodate a faux owl. I truly do not know how the host managed to collect so many freaking owl statues, but I'm even more curious about what she did with them after the party...
@l6318 my guess is that she went to a crafts store in search of party supplies, saw a display filled with owls (since they were so trendy at the time) and said "YES", then full arm swept an entire shelf into her cart
@@TheWolfeDenwell... she did everyone else a favor at least. 😊
Don't forget the hedgehogs.
🍍🍍and pineapples 🍍🍍
Why pineapples?
The mushrooms being the new version of 90's chickens blew my mind. You're right on the money with that one.
And the oughts' cows.
i agree n i still love the weird earthy mushrooms😄
Facts. Facts. Facts.
@@pegm5937the cows!!!🤭
I love eating mushrooms. 😅
Sperm spoons and fungus explosion….😂😂😂😂😂😂 Nick cracks me up every time . You’re my interior designer soulmate. I couldn’t agree more.
Oh, they definitely look like sperm.
Mushrooms also had a major moment in the late 1960’s. My Mom and Grandmother both loved mushrooms back in the day. My mother still uses some of her mushroom items.
Yeah there’s mushroom Pyrex and some really neat antique collections of plates and cups and stuff
Vintage Mushroom 🍄 best shrooms
Yes. If you look online for a vintage set they are running close to 1k for a whole set. And it’s literally sitting in a box in my grandma’s house. Lol😅
And it continued to late 70s. I had a beautiful canister set and loved them but they were not tight lids so rather useless. Rubbermaid had a set, decorated with mushrooms and came in the trendy colors, harvest gold, but orange and avocado green. They had a slightly mushroom shape but flat on top. 😊
THE MUSHROOM CORNINGWARE. Still have some of my mom and dad’s from their wedding registry IN 1975 😂🍄
The Tupperware 2.0 thing is crazy. Putting food from a sterile into a non-sterile container, putting food with freshness liners (cereal, eg) into unlined containers so it will go staler faster, and adding to the amount of dish washing instead of keeping the original container and then rinsing and recycling. Unless you wash your dishes in your own personal autoclave, your repackaged food will spoil faster leading to expensive food waste, and we're supposed to be cutting down on that I think.
I think it depends on how your brain works as to whether or not it increases food waste. My husband and I both have ADHD and we are much more likely to actually go through our food if we recontainer it so we can actually see it. Sometimes all the colors in the original packaging can be over stimulating. It's SO much easier to find what I'm looking for when everything is in clear packaging. Also, it means we can buy smaller quantities and I can replenish more frequently because I can actually see how much we have. For us recontainering has actually cut down our food waste quite dramatically.
I agree, and I don't have adhd!
I know one woman who repackaged everything because she said it cut down on moths. She'd freeze her boxed goods and then repackage them and recycle the boxes. Something about eggs in the packaging or something. It worked for her. Eh. A couple moth traps and we're good. I live in the countryish. Bugs happen. Just stay out of my food.
@@Traci_Websinger I always put new bags of flour in the freezer for a few days. Since I've been doing that, I've never found those disgusting little bugs in the flour, no matter how long it sits in the pantry.
@@JamieM470my mother did this, ages ago. It does work ☺️
Nick is a treasure. Always some good advice and a boat load of humor thrown in. Sperm spoons... mushroom explosion! I laughed out loud!
Me too!!
This was GOLD!!!!🤣
As mom used to say, "He needs to QUIT it!" ;o)
Love it Nick. One exception - taking berries out of the store's plastic punnets and putting them into glass containers adds at least 3 days to their freshness... but for everything else, I agree, life's too short!
I think there's a really big difference between functional containers and aesthetic containers? I put all my dry goods in airtight containers because I don't want bugs getting in them, and you're totally right about transferring fruit to new containers, but the thought of pouring my milk or juice into a new jug because it'll look nicer just sounds like a huge waste of time
Then was the berries n vinegar/water then your berries will last another week.
OMG, you had me at "The fridge is supposed to be ugly"! 🤣 I am 64 and when I go thrifting/vintage shopping, I look at the 80s and 90s decor and think, I am pretty sure that was mine back in the day. Love your videos!
A friend of mine went to a vintage shop specifically to look at some art pieces from their website that looked like ones hanging in his childhood kitchen. Flipped them over and found the garage sale price in his mom's handwriting on the back!
I'd love to see your take on "Toning Down the Trends" where you recreate 'trendy' rooms but, with a much more subdued/classic styling.
I'd love this too! I think he has done a video on themed rooms (and how to fix them) a while ago, but another one focused on trends would be awesome!
ur asking for him to get called a total bore
Salty Nick is my favorite Nick! This was hilarious. :) Also, OMG I was not aware of the wavy checkerboard trend but I hate it sooooo much. That literally made my stomach turn. I wonder if that's some sort of equivalent feeling to that thing some people have where they can't stand seeing lots of holes in a surface. Wow, I hated that.
I'm with you!
Me too!
Me too! No way I would put "decor" that makes me nauseous in my home.
it's deadass the definition of ''thanks! i hate it!''
THE CONTAINER THING YES!!! also youll see that the aesthetic containers dont hold all of the original product they bought so now they have two containers holding it
I totally agree with you about the wavy checkered board carpet. Recently, I stayed in a "cozy" hotel in Paris, the room used a small contrasting navy and white - a diamond within a square patterns carpeting. When I stood up in the room, looking down on my phone reading and replying to text messages, I suddenly felt lightheaded. I thought I was just tired from travelling. When it happened again, then I realized it was the carpeting that made me feel sick.
I’ve been obsessed with mushrooms since I was a kid and have a curated a small collection of retro mushroom pieces and local mushroom art. This is the first I’ve heard of the mushroom trend!!! I will just carry on and pretend this doesn’t apply to me😅
You're not alone 😂
@@jn9850 Hence, the video?
You do not apply under the tred tho! You're a collector! Ot's different :)
My 16 year old is obsessed with this trend. Mind you I have bought a couple of pieces I found cute like ceramic one or wooden ones. But even then I am like that’s it. No more
I have a pair of mushroom wall art pieces hanging in my kitchen but it's going to stay in my kitchen. I think that stuff looks weird anywhere else in a home.
NICK LEWIS WITH THE HOT TAKES!! The spoons, the mushroom, and the , AHEM, *table* beads had me laughing out loud 😆
Whoa ! That escalated quickly. lol
"table beads"
I don't get it, what do the beads look like? Apparently my mind isn't dirty enough! :))
@@flowersfrom7311 Think of the other two items of the three and follow that trail mentally..... or just go to a For Couples shop.
@flowersfrom7311 it's ok. It's better not to know😂😂😂
I have some mushroom decor in my room as a 25 year old biology major, but I think leaning more into the academic side of interior design would be the next logical step to tone down the shrooms.
Omg the whole squiggle segment had me rolling. Thank you for the laughs and unfiltered honesty. It's truly appreciated in today's day and age! ❤
As a straight male not terribly in tune with interior design, Nick is easily one of the most entertaining commentators on social media. The combination of adult taste, super-dry humor, and wry self-awareness is rare, and hilarious. I never miss a blog. (don't get a big head, good buddy.)
Echoing that......definitely My husband's and my favorite TH-cam designer. I quote him all the time. Nick you say in such a funny way what some of us are thinking. You're the best! Design should be fun although expensive if you get it wrong. ❤
Love him and his sarcasm !
Thanks all! ❤
Not sure how you being a straight male has got anything to do with anything but agree with your summation of our Nick!
The containers for things that already come in containers makes me crazy too! Who has the time for that?!? Also, you probably buy milk/juice/cereal/flour before you're completely out of the previous amount and you can't just dump the fresh on top of the old or the whole thing will spoil or be stale. Then you have the new one in its original packaging stored somewhere until you finish the old. I'm convinced no one actually lives this way and people only do it for social media! Either way, I can't stand it!
Also, who has the time to wash all of those containers? Not me 😅
WIth stuff like cereal or flour it actually makes sense to store it in a plastic container because sometimes that bag of flour or cereal that you bought will come with some little moths eggs and soon you'll see some baby moths flying around your kitchen. If you keep your flour/cereal in a glass or plastic container they will be contained and you can easily see if your food is infested or not. I know that most viewers come from northern America where maybe food moths aren't as widespread as they are here in Europe but u kno what keep ur eyes open.
@@chotanya And wasting water and soap.
Aww, I'm still really endeared to the chicken themed kitchens. My bio grandparents divorced and they still separately went full chicken theme for their kitchens (grandma went for spring chicks and eggs, grandpa went full roosters). I didn't realize this was such a quintessential 90s trend, but it definitely reminds me of them. Probably inherently dated but still very cute and cohesive.
Sears Robuck Catalog early 1970s - it had a whole line of funky mushroom kitchen decor that looked just like the mushrooms now. Canisters, saucepans, towels, small appliance slipcovers . . . like pages of it. I wonder if anyone ever bought the whole line? That would have been a very trippy kitchen. (They also had another line of kitchen stuff with a cartoon frog.)
I like to consume the groceries right out of the container they came in standing in front of the open fridge
At least stand over the sink my man. My dad always would yell .. CLOSE The Door or pay the electric bill! 😊
Very efficient!
I guess since I’m not on tik tok I’m sheltered from all the trends. This was quite enlightening and entertaining! 😂
Same, never even heard of these so called "trends" and who gets decor ideas from that anyway? Unless you're under 30, which I am not.
I’ve loved bohemian style for a lonng time, and totally get that a lot of it ends up coming across “tacky” or trendy, but I think it just depends if you love it… I love pastels, astrological designs, checkered designs, mushrooms, all the like… but I also always have, so I think if you fall into that boat it’s okay!
Yeppers! I've also always loved boho-ey stuff, and right now - it's our time to shine!! Nick can have his favorite trends be popular like next year (everyone deserves to celebrate the things that make em happy)
I love bohemian, but I also only buy antiques, or vintage on occasion. Bohemian can be beautiful, but there is a point where people lose sight of what they were going for.
Honestly, I don’t care what makes people happy, I just wish they wouldn’t destroy antiques, to get something they could buy from UO or Anthropologie.
Me too! I've loved colorful and whimsical always and I've been very happy how easy it is to acquire good quality pieces in this style nowadays that will last me for decades!
As adorable as I think mushrooms are, you are SO RIGHT about the chicken to mushroom pipeline.
All I can say is, I just Love You, Nick. If you weren't so successful as an interior decorator, you could be a huge success as a satirist.
Every time I see one of those “decanting beverages into aesthetically pleasing containers” videos it bugs me because often the amount of juice etc. that fits in the beautiful glass container isn’t as much liquid as what the original store bought one holds. So I imagine that the person is either also putting the plastic jug in the fridge with a couple of inches of juice or they are chucking it? 😂
They engorge themselves with those extra fluids. 🫠
I’m so glad you mentioned this because this ENRAGES ME.
the clear cartons they all use are 1 litre (so 33 smth or other fluid ounces) so they're either filling two cartons, making a mix of the dregs, or more likely they have a second "unaesthetic" fridge.
my beef with them is that once u open a bottle/carton of juice they go bad quicker than if u left them sealed. noone needs to be opening 3-6 1-2l cartons of juice at once...
I seem to remember those red topped, polka dot mushrooms 🍄 in the 70s. In kitchens. It was quite kitschy, actually.
@@jd9351 He he, fun pun.
Your take on the fridge is giving me life! Thank you for allowing us to have one fricking space in the house that's allowed to just FUNCTION! I'm keeping my stupid store brand milk containers and my well used tupperware containers for leftovers!
I agree with everything with this video! I do have to say though that decanting does have a time and place. I don't go over the top with it, but decanting most of the packaged foods in my pantry helps save a ton of space in my tiny pantry. I can take 3-5 boxes worth of food and put it in a MUCH smaller space because the boxes are filled with empty space. So taking grab and go snacks for the kids like various granola bars out of the box and into a small container saves on space because I can stack several of those containers. I leave drinks in their original container in the fridge, but things like vegetables I like to put in bins to keep them from rolling all over the place. It helps with an ADHD mind and helps save on space in smaller homes.
Oh you got me with the mushrooms, I literally just painted a set of dresser knobs into 🍄 for my soon-to-be-born son's room 😂
His whole room is forest-themed with woodland creature decals so it fits!!
This sounds adorable!
It's a kid's room. If there's anywhere to go overboard with the whimsy it's there. I would have LOVED a forest themed bedroom as a child. As it is I have to fight to keep my black curtains and bedspread because my mother thinks I should be over the "goth phase". Enjoy your mushrooms, they're both aesthetic and delicious 😋 Now I'm craving some mushroom stir-fry 😋
That’s such a cute idea!
My 13 year old daughter is obsessed with mushrooms and cottage core (not that I have a firm grasp on cottage core).
Kid spaces are rules-free. If it makes them feel happy, go for it.
Thank you for yet again making my morning coffee moment so much fun. The pastel crates would be perfect for my 3 yr old granddaughter's room and her clutter.
I'm waiting for a mention in a video of the DT crates in general or the folding fabric crates. I know the day will come when these will go off trend. I won't deny I have them in my house for storage, but I'm looking at replacements that are economical, practical and timeless. Someday the three will correspond for me.
The pastel crates are juvenile but I bought some to keep in a closet for a very specific organizing purpose. I could’ve bought any old containers for it, but I get a little bit of youthful joy when I open the closet and see those on the shelf. So I literally have it behind closed doors in my home office, like you mentioned 😂😂
right! i have one to store and organize my makeup palettes and it’s perfect for that but never for frivolous display like the tiktok girlies do
I think I sort of disagree with him on that one. maybe it does look juvenile but I have a colourful house with many "juvenile" colourful storage items on display. I think what makes a space "timeless" is when you design with a personal aesthetic rather than a trending aesthetic. Grey is a timeless neutral but those all grey homes look just as dated as a mushroom home (even worse because they have no soul). So if you personally are a cottage core girl and you can your own veggies and always buy natural fibres then your home won't ever look dated. Everyone who visits my space always says it looks so colourful and cute and they love it because I buy everything in colours. Theres a difference between personally having a nature vibe or having a colourful vibe vs. buying everything in pink mushrooms because you are currently obsessed with pink.
I kinda like them too, they remind me of Amsterdam and Copenhagen where everyone has milkcrates on their bikes to transport stuff around.
Made me laugh so hard I didn’t want this video to be over! Nick you’re the guy I wanna sit next to at the dinner party because I’d laugh til I cried. 😂
I love this channel. I'm not even renovating my home and I still watch everything. I live in a house built in 1740 and we decided 40 years ago to invest in antiques as we could afford them and embrace the history of our home, so I'm not changing things based on trends, but these are just so fun to watch. I have learned a ton about design, color, layout. Nice work Nick! I think I have binged all your content now.
I bet you have a beautiful home ❤️
I never get sick of watching whatever Nick is sick of. 😂😂😂
Just got my daily fix of ROFL. 👍
Mee too
The fridge thing is so true for me as well. As someone who loves to cook/meal prep/use leftovers, I immediately think where do you put them when your fridge is literally full of bulky plastic boxes that bave fruit in them.
Put the squiggles, wavy checkerboard and mushrooms on art on your wall. SO much easier to swap out if you grow tired of it! I don’t understand trendy furniture, rugs or other core homewares you’ll own for years and years. I want one set of teaspoons and they should match my knives and forks!
Omg 😂 I hate the squiggles too but now that you described the spoons that way I'm sooo getting them for my friend🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Relieved to say I don't have in my home a single one of these items. Some were news to me! Thanks for the laughs, Nick.
I could say neither do I BUT I do have a trio of gorgeous hand carved mushrooms that I purchased on the tiny (1.5 miles x 1 mile) Isle of Iona off the W coast of Scotland about 15 years ago. Am I excused these? Didn't realise I'm suddenly bang on trend! Lol
Same, I'd never seen the wavy checkers before.
Same. I was like, Hmmm…
Me too. I had no idea about the re-containering thing. That's idiotic.
I remember the wavy candles and candlesticks. I used to love them. One or two mixed in with pillars or something would be fine. Otherwise, like someone said, it starts to feel like Alice in Wonderland or maybe Dr. Seuss.
I'm remembering a clay mushroom I had back in high school that was white with a hot pink top. I think it got used as a decoration on a cake. I don't know, it was the 70s, lol.
I loved mushrooms since way before the trend and I really love the options that are available now. =D
The fridge thing is more like ASMR in my opinion, no normal kitchen has a fridge like that.
That mushroom theme was very popular in the 1970s. I really hope the country goose theme from the 1980s, early 90s never comes back!!!
😂😂😂
Agree 100%! Especially the squiggly, wave and mushroom decor...unless your doing an Alice in Wonderland theme, they only belong in a hallucinogenic dream!
There is an ice cream café here that is all Alice in Wonderland themed and the mushroom tables are perfect there. But at home? Not so much.
The mushroom in Alice was an hallucinogenic theme. The caterpillar was smoking a hookah.
When I was in 6th grade I was the caterpillar in the play. 😁
There's an interior decorator on TH-cam that loves squiggly sh** and puts it in every room she makes over. I always thought it looked ugly and juvenile, and I'm happy to have my feelings validated here 😌
Yesssss I hate itttttttt
I was embroidering mushrooms on chambray shirts in the seventies. It's a motif that comes and goes, like the sunbonnetted geese in the eighties.
My mom did a beautiful needlepoint of mushrooms and flowers in the 70s. It had good technique and showed her skill and knowledge of the craft, and her attention to detail in making it. I never cared for it growing up, but what I would give to have it now, 15 years after her passing.
Agree 100% on your opinion on fancy containers for the fridge. As for mushrooms, I was so over them the first time I encountered them as a young child in the 1970's. Literally every single home I visited during that era had them,
You should have lived through the avacado and gold mushroom and owl period in the 70’s. I did and it was AWFUL!
Someone was feeling extra spicy today. I love that Nick says what we're all thinking ... and "shovelling food into your mouth with sperm spoons" made me laugh-choke on my coffee.
Were they spoons or drink stirrers/mixers, though?
You've hit the nail on the head with all of these. I love it hahaha. I legit see all of these trends passing by at our ceramic studio. The pastel chunky mugs, squiggly candle holders, wavy checkboard coasters and an influx of mushroom figurines. 😂 Didn't realize it was a trend until you called it out
I'm a designer for a well known store and I tell my customers that try to buy those beads.......NO! Just NO! Thank you Nick, I'm definitely looping you into that conversation going forward.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 There could be a whole "things that look like something else" video
The only things I put in containers are things like grains, nuts and dried legumes. I once had bugs in my flour and I was so glad they couldn't escape the big glass jar and ruin everything in my pantry. That's actually functional. The TikTok trend doesn't make sense, I feel like it's just to look like you're being sustainable.
Also, agreed with everything else. I absolutely hate all that stuff. I don't like trends. I do like the cottage core vibe in general but everything mushroom just gets too theme-y and I hate it.
I bought cereal containers because I was having an issue with bugs getting into my cereal. I use canisters for all my dry food that come in flimsy plastic bags.
I completely agree with you. No squiggles or a squiggly in a room. Thank you!!
Re: containers. I put all dry stuff (beans, rice, pasta, etc.) into containers because it allows stacking in my cabinets and prevents spillage.
🤣 you got me with the mushrooms. i'm making my own fantasy mushrooms with paper clay and place them between my houseplants 😅 i'm going for a fantasy-forest style
I've had enough fantasy. More than enough. I'm sick to death of being told I have to believe something is real when I know d*m well it is not. A pox on fantasy. Let's fearlessly face reality and work together to fix the madness currently engulfing us. It's the only way we can.
U 🐝 U. 😅
That sounds amazing! This was the one that got me too lol. But theming is the one thing I vary from Nick's opinion most on anyway. If my room felt like Disneyland that'd be pretty cool to me.
I feel like mushroom adults = kids who loved Halloween. It stays with you for life.
@@kpwxx No. :)
Not gonna lie, I've been contemplating on getting those clear containers for stuff in my fridge. But thanks for slapping me back into reality! 😂
They can be useful to corral like items, but that’s it
The long, clear containers act as drawers and help me get at the stuff in the back so I don't know stuff over. I also have this tilted egg keeper so I don't have to get the egg container out and open it. I just teach in and grab my eggs. It's handy. The other thing my "drawers" do is to catch the sticky mess that somehow gets on the bottom of bottles and I can just clean the drawer instead of having to take everything off a shelf and clean the whole thing.
I have one for butter, sour cream, cream cheese, yogurt. Pulling it out like a drawer is easier than rummaging, plus it’s easier to clean than the whole shelf
Hi Nick! Little late to comment, but if you decant everything, how will you keep track of expiration and best buy dates.
And exactly what variety that this product is versus one that looks similar in same style container. And what do you do with the bit left over that doesn’t fit the container.
And more importantly, ingredients, food name, nutrition data.
AND MOST OF ALL PRODUCT CODES/LOT NUMBERS FOR WHEN THERE IS A RECALL NOTICE FROM HEALTH AUTHORITIES OR MANUFACTURERS!!!!!!!???????
do whatever you want !!!
Started with LOL over the containers! I always thought this was stupid unless the packaging can't be resealed.
I was all onboard with your mushroom hate, but that red and white lamp was surprisingly adorable 😂
The red & white mushroom is Amanita Muscaria aka Magic Mushroom and is quite beautiful, but there is a lot more to it than cute.
and I am looking for a salt & pepper set that looks like these, to have on my Christmas table.
Magic mushroom is the nickname for Cubensis. Not Muscaria. Amanita Muscaria are called Fly Agaric. They have psychedelic properties but its main compound differ from magic mushrooms. @@pmjohnston7987
Crates!
Old style milk crates in red or blue with the name of the dairy printed on the side. They were the perfect size for record albums. Even these tic tockers’ parents weren’t born yet… My husband had them as bookshelves (interspersed with bricks and boards) in his (not our) first apartment.
I would make a exception for containers for tiny dry goods that have risk of spilling or going stale - cereal, rice, flour, sugar, etc.
Just love Nick! Due to being in farm country which means mice and lots of bugs, I do decant boxed items into glass canning jars I bought plastic screw on lids for and also large airtight bins for my bulk flours, sugars, pastas and rices; if it’s in a jar or can, it’s left alone until it’s used. But, otherwise, this is “perfect, perfect, perfect” for those who want to spend their money wisely and buying classic items and those permanent items (flooring, tile, backsplashes, cabinets, appliances) for long term and changing the towels, pillow covers, curtains area rugs, etc when one wants a change of color or to be a little current with the trends.
THANK YOU! Those food container trends are just as phony as influencers posting an Instagram story of themselves reading a book at a cafe with a peek of the designer handbag conveniently showing in the corner, on the table.
I hate the containers for things that already have a container. Like yes, sugar, flour, pasta jars have a use because they don’t often come in resealable packages, but things already in packaging. And it doesn’t even make sense for refrigerated goods. The refrigerator is literally the container for that container! It’s nonsensical and I can’t stand it.
Isn’t anyone screaming LANDFILL! Urgh….. always timeless…. My great grandparents had the same furniture all their married life! Im ones all 2nd hand now but if I were to style my home it would be timeless furniture/decor! You’re an inspiration to many nick 😊
OMGOODNESS!! I skeptically started watching this thinking "Who is he to talk about trends he is sick of when we may love them" .....LOL turns out I agree with everything you said and love the humorous way you express your thoughts.
Nick, this is a comment regarding a previous video of things that you don't like or are out. You snarked on the disco mirror balls that came momentarily back into existence as decor. You showed the way too much disco ball hanging planter. I saw that and as a girl I danced obsessively to disco in the clubs of NYC. I also have a house of too many plants. As soon as I saw that I whooped " YES! Where can I get that?".
Well, as serendipity would have it, near my house is a grocery and whatever store that I was in That Day! Guess what they had? $3.99 and came with the chain hanger! Forever you will be immortalized! Thanks, Nick!
I don’t think I can judge the mushrooms as I am obsessed with gnomes and come the holiday season I have them all over, so glass houses…😅.
Gnomes r cute, though not for me - my nieces' mom loves them. They r a whole class above mushrooms🤣🤣🤣
Fairies Yea.. Gnomes Nay. But... as always, Gnu bee Gnu
@@elizabeths7520 Smurfs live in mushrooms.😌
Gnomes have that whole Nordic thing going for them. But they can easily be overdone.
I so agree with the repackaging so much. I only do that with cereal and rice, but that's because they come in bags that don't really close after being opened.
Me too, and Tupperware keeps out the weevils
1:30 with this also: I get putting things in containers to save space, but when you transfer items to another container you don’t have the expiration date on it (unless you write it on). Which means that unless you’re consuming that product way before it expires anyway, you run the risk of food poisoning. But then you replace that item often so it isn’t really worth transferring the product across. Also, those containers won’t get cleaned as often as they should… causing the build up of bacteria and then you can get food poisoning. ALSO, the only organisation that is crucial to maintaining a fridge is just what goes on each shelf to prevent cross contamination; cooked meats above raw, raw on bottom shelf, any “non cook” food above raw and cooked food, liquids in the draws and no opened bottles on its side.
I love mushroom decor! It goes so well with my collection of Georgia O'keeffe flower paintings! 🤣
This is the one channel where the comments are almost as funny as Nick. Love reading them. Nick you have an amazing community. So happy I’m part of it ❤
I love your videos. I am a senior, not trendy, just want what to me is comfy, organized, simple. I smile every time you say that you don’t like something, that a style is out, overdone, etc., and then you add my favorite: “if it’s your style, go for it!” You are awesome in the way you point out your opinions without being harsh on those who disagree. I agree with most of your opinions, and in this video: I hate the bendy checkerboard rugs, especially that brown one in front of the bulky brown chair. It made me momentarily nauseous. :-)
Ahhh yes,birds-of-a-feather😊
Sperm spoons and fungus explosion.🤣🤣🤣.:. Hilarious Nick and totally on point relatable.. I love your videos and actually took up one of your ideas to add wallpaper on the living room ceiling. Turns heads every single time and makes me the genius. Thank you Nick❤
I second everything. If I see another short with someone unpacking their groceries my head will explode and I'll end up putting squiggles and Mushrooms everywhere 😂
I audibly agreed with you about the milk and juice containers, thank you for being the voice of reason! Use glass if you shop at the refill stores, but it’s okay for the inside of a fridge not to be perfectly aesthetic. And thank you for acknowledging that we may have to have some of these other listed things in our home if we have girls of a certain age, there are more of these than I want to admit in my home but are largely confined to my kids’ rooms. Well, it’s not in the main floor, and if you’re nosing around upstairs, we better be close friends and you better be cool about it 😂
Ok. I want a checkerboard pattern carpet for Halloween! Not everyday living because it messes too much with my eyes, but a door mat for Halloween? Perfect!
My sister in law is into the mushroom thing. As someone who is very fantasy oriented, I have encouraged her. Lol I see them and imagine fairies underneath the mushroom demanding their dues.
Damn, came at me like an attack dog! 😵 I totally hear you though. I have a lot of decor from my urban outfitter obsessed (college) days that fit into these categories. It is juvenile. It is fun. I will certainly grow out of it at some point. Right now I’m feeding into my inner child that didn’t get to have fun happy decor. I have my whole life to have a put together, boring house sooo right now I’m gonna live in pastel squiggle paradise! 😝
I absolutely love almost all of these trends, but can definitely agree that you have to be very intentional with how and where you use them in your space. I really love colour and squiggly shapes and furniture that feels unique and fun. I can tell based on your space that we don't have the same interior design style, but I still love your videos and hearing the opinions of someone with a more toned down aesthetic than me is important in making my space feel comfortable to guests as well as myself.
Particularly witty today, walking the line! I'm not 14. I'm with you.
Since I don’t have IG or TikTok, I glad that you keep me informed on all the trends I didn’t know of and I would like anyway. 😂
I didn’t realize mushrooms were such a main stream thing. I love eating mushrooms so whenever I see decor items I always think they’re cute but I didn’t realize they were taking over 😂
i agree with everything except the mushroom part- you will never take them away from me !!!!!!!!
OMG, in the late 70's, my mother painted the kitchen cabinets a dark chocolate brown and decoupaged clusters of three to five mushrooms in the center of each cabinet 🤣🤣🤣
🍄🍄🍄 🤣
Yup orange mushrooms 😂
Mustaches and mushrooms, SO DUMB whats next? Forks?.carrots? Stupid sheep lol
Addicts, aka drugs too I feel. Sad BUT mushrooms are IN like a style unfortunatly like pot smoking. Doing Mushroomsmis a horrible trendy sheep drug going on right now amd Ive been womderingnif the 2 maybe a bit related. But again the mustaches fad was #1 dumbest
I still have my mom's 70's original mushroom ceramic canisters. I always loved those.
I love my colourful crates because when it’s where I put things that I run out of or have overstocked. Then I can fold them and they take up a minimal footprint when not in use. I also don’t use them as active decor, but as I don’t mind the look I use them as catch all containers that encourage me to put the things in them away to their proper spot so I can fold them back up. As they are useful to me I’ll keep loving them.
I've watched several of your other videos but what made me finally subscribe today was your commentary on containers for things that already come in containers. THANK YOU! It drives me crazy to see so many home organization and design influencers advise everyone to "decant" all their groceries. What a pointless waste of time.
The rant on decanting everything…fed my soul. Love love love your videos and commentary.
Containers for open bags/ boxes of cereal, crackers and cookies= yes, they will stay fresher and all fit on the shelf.
The refrigerator stuff is downright hilarious to me
naturally, there is some stuff that makes sense to repackage/just toss the packaging, and there is some stuff that really doesn't make sense. repackaging sweets, cookies, chocolate spread is actually smart to do psychologically. quite often our brain get cravings triggered bc we see the packaging and associate it with yummy stuff. The chocolate spread has never lasted as long in my house as when I took it out of its colourful container and put it into an air sealed glass jar.
I'm guessing people doing this never read the storage instructions on the package they throw out. That packaging was hermtically sealed. Most juices have weeks to best before date, but 3 days after opening. Repackaging destroys the shelf life of the product.
I love how your example of acceptable squiggle is scallop edge I love scallops ehehe
When I am sad, I visit here. I visit here when I want to belly laugh, like tonight. Who cares about home decor, I want to hear Nick's analysis of everything, especially the things he does not like! 😃
Another validation for saying no to Tik Tok. I haven’t missed out on anything!
😆squiggle spoons! I laughed out loud!
I didn’t know this channel, but I couldn’t agree with this video more. I am 27 and I think most of the stuff is somehow cute, but very „urban outfitters“ . The items pretend to be super funky and individual but actually they aren’t. But i like the playfulness!
100% agree with all point made on recontainering, but I don’t agree with all of the clips. Definitely not necessary to pour your liquids out of their bottles, but recontainering fruit is very functional - especially when you use those green containers that keep them for longer. The egg thing can be cool as long as it has a lid. Being able to stack on top of eggs is a huge boost to space. But I 100% agree with pouring your drinks into containers and such. That seems really extra and completely unnecessary. 😂
Funny thing about packaging. I bought a new backpack, and after I made my purchase, the clerk asked me if I wanted a shopping bag to put it in. ha ha. This was at the University store. (This was way back when stores still had plastic shopping bags)
I used to work at The Container Store and I wouldn’t offer bags in some cases…like when someone bought a small trash can. If they asked for a bag, I would make the joke “How funny that you’re carrying this trash can in a bag, and then the bag will go in the trash can!” I know in some cases they actually did need the bag for a reason I wasn’t aware of, but maybe it made someone think the next time, and I did have some fun with that. You have to when you’re ringing up the same stuff for 5 hours…😊
Lololol, maybe it's my science background, but, sperm spoons is exactly what I thought as well! You could pair them with a boiled breakfast egg! hahahaha
😂
Lol I just bought those crates, but they're literally just a cute storage option for me, they're hidden away out of sight and I like that they fold down when I'm not using them. They're great for storage, but not cute for decor. Wicker/etc simply takes up too much space.
I have a photo of a basket centerpiece from the 70s that my mom gave my sister. it sat on the shelf in her laundry room for 22 yrs. 22 years of undisturbed dust is very interesting.
It was a rustic style basket made out of wood filled with various mushrooms. idk what we did with it, I'm sure someone would buy it now, lol. It was very well made and cleaned up real nice.
Hold the bus! I happen to find those plastic crates very helpful in storage! I love aqua.😊But no, I don't have them out for show. They are in my closet with my camping gear.❤
