As a broker in a luxury market I am recommending this channel to anyone looking to buy or sell in the near future. It can be hard to understand which changes are worth making to your home.. I love that Garrett is always talking about *long term investments* and *sustainability*. Not only do you want to decorate and renovate your space for you but you want to make sure the largest asset you own is appreciating not depreciating. Thanks again for keeping me sane and not letting me do the stupid tile countertop over my laminate lol I am holding out for the soapstone granite

I love how respectful you are of everyone's tastes and preferences. And I appreciate how you don't necessarily go along with the trends but encourage people to think on what their own personal style is. This has helped me to differentiate between what I find attractive in a magazine vs. what I actually want for my own home long-term.

Go in, Prof. LeChic! We inherited my husband’s childhood home and I want to update without losing the character. I won’t lie, the kitchen is touchy. Hubby has happy childhood memories here and is reluctant to change anything beyond updated appliances. I love the charm, but the scroll-y wood window valence has got to GO. It’s giving me ”Spirit of 1976” and I am not here for that… A nice roman shade is just what we need. I showed examples to Hubby and he’s on board. You are out here saving mariages! LOL THANK YOU!

Hi. I’m in the same position - except it’s my childhood home circa 1952. My memories are of the 70’s and 80’s and my parents didn’t change much after that. We’ve done the bathroom- it’s very natural materials zen but are about to start the kitchen. I am so lost!

@bearg-ma9168 2 года назад

Maybe I'm dated....but I like the simple elegant of one style drawer & cabinet pulls. I enjoy looking at the accessories of a kitchen and find that busy backgrounds compete and the eye can't rest. But that's just my style and everyone's is different of course. Enjoyed the video very much, always great visual examples.

I never "got" tiled countertops. You know the grout will get filthy and gross. Same with open shelving in kitchens. I have no desire to spend time endlessly cleaning dust and grease off of them. Totally agree with cutting down work and maintenance! This is what I've been aiming for as I gradually renovate my home. Your sensible advice has helped me greatly!😃

@GarrettLeChic 2 года назад

@janeforever 2 года назад

I love my tiled countertops. They were in the kitchen when we bought our Mediterranean/Spanish style home. While I'm not crazy about the color, I find they are easy to clean (no filthy grout in my kitchen), do not stain, and are great for moving a hot pot off the stove. I'm a cook & baker & they work perfectly for me, short of having professional stainless steel counters.

Another great video! I have a question, can you talk to the importance of a good first impression with your front door/patio. I know several people who have beautiful homes but you wouldn’t know it looking at their front door. Their paint is peeling, faded Siding, burnt out light, leaves piled up by the entryway. I know it’s not strictly an interior space but I think it’s important!

Absolutely important, especially when you are trying to sell a home. While the real estate agent is trying to open the front door for a showing, the potential buyer has time to look around and notice that peeling paint, the worn hardware on the door, the tired wreath, and the old fashioned house numbers. You really have to look at all the details of your entrance and make sure it is top notch.

The trend that suuuper dates a kitchen for me is the TUSCAN KITCHEN 😆 Was such a big trend at the time and now when I see it I know *exactly* how long ago the space was renovated 😅 And honestly, we all know this kitchen is not in Tuscany, who are you trying to fool?? 👀😆

@ginacrusco234 2 года назад

Hi Gareth! In our country cottage we have mixed cabinet pulls: some plain and some custom made for us of glass shards in our color palette -- so cool! So score one for the home team. But one demerit for having a wooden valence over the window. It is completely straight-cut, and this IS a cottage for heaven's sakes -- but still, you make we want to trade it out for Roman blinds.

Just stumbled across you...instant, new subscriber. I must say, as an OR/PACU nurse, the leather pulls in kitchens immediately had me wondering about people's sanity and taste: how the heck would you clean that??? Disgusting trend. Having said that, after the two years we've just had, people really shouldn't surprise me any more. Anyhoo, fantastic channel; I'll definitely be around.

@angelagenx6629 2 года назад

My house was built in ‘57 and I’m pretty sure the cabinets and hardware are original. The hardware is like a hammered brass with an arrow shape on the end and were attached to the cabinets on a diagonal. While I can’t stand the diagonal application of the handles, I’ve learned to live with it because switching out handles and making them vertical would mean filling holes and probably refinishing, I don’t have the time to do it. So now I tell myself, “ it’s authentic MCM and adds character”. My kitchen and I get along much better now that I just accept it’s quirkiness 😆.

@dannib4781 2 года назад

The granite you spoke about was from the mid 90’s I had it installed in my home and at the time it was really cool but then it was everywhere and for a long time. Now I live in a different house and learned my lesson about spending money on trends. I only spend “ big” money on timeless materials. Things that you can’t time stamp.

@MightyWomanOfGod9050 2 года назад

Yay! I mixed my knobs and pulls! I added antique brass knurled knobs up top while still using my more gold pulls on the bottom. I also mixed my upper cabinets with dark brown doors with a white base! Looks amazing. Good point with the leather handles. I decided to go with the blue star tile, kind of like the one you showed at toward the end but in blue, and I love it. I was hesitant, but I thought I need to be sure of what my taste is and not always go with bland or settle for neutrals. It may be heading out, but I love it!

@jaycole2109 2 года назад

@TheDoggmom 2 года назад

I love you!!! You just addressed my current decorating dilemma which is cabinet hardware for a newly installed kitchen. I want to mix-and-match handles and knobs. Yay for you for giving me the nod of approval on that plan. Love you Garrett thank you! Also I want you to know that we are a bulldog household. I do bulldog rescue and I’ve had 30 bulldogs in my house over decades, and of those 8 were our own pets. We’ve also had 8 Frenchies. With one exception, the Frenchies were bossy little brats, but of course they were cute as anything. They weren’t very smart, the English bulldogs seem smarter to me anyway. But we love bulldogs!

@GarrettLeChic 2 года назад

Frenchies are imps, but our Linus is quite smart and very loving. Our English Bulldog Cornealius is amazing. My husband has had several since he was a child, and they are perhaps the most wonderful, and easygoing breed I have meet. Such characters. Our little Albert is a Pek-A-Pom. He's about 17, and we rescued him 3 years ago. All the boys get along very well, and are a joy to have as part of the family.

@cjmac2766 2 года назад

Cheers, Garrett, on another GREAT video. I love how you talk about functionality -- like CLEANING in a kitchen. You can't clean leather handles or the grout in a tile counter! You asked about cabinet hardware. Because I have arthritis, I picked easy to grab, easy on the hands, and very easy to clean brushed nickel handles. And here's my dated kitchen don't: those cutesy fabric curtains and valances! Would love to hear your ideas on picking practical and beautiful window treatments for the different rooms in our spaces. 🌻🤗🌻

Hi, Garrett. So glad to hear your advice for kitchen hardware. I just bought new knobs for my drawers and pulls for the cupboards that currently don’t have any hardware. All are black, and I was doubting myself for mix-matching. I know most people would recommend knobs for cupboards, but I have a few tiny drawers and the large 5” pulls I like would look silly on them. I feel that going against the norm to better match the scale in my kitchen was a better choice, but I have felt insecure about it. Once again, your advice puts me at ease that I’m on the right track. Thank you thank you thank you!!

@charlenegreyard7628 Год назад

So much WISDOM! In the middle of a kitchen renovation right now so glad I found you! My biggest thing that dates a kitchen (and that I am in the process of demolishing) is backsplashes that have those horrible metallic MEDALLIONS usually bronze in tone scattered in strategic places. They are like a needle in my eye. Our currant house was built in 2006 during the latter part of the whole “Tuscan” thing and we’ve been hacking away for four years trying to rid ourselves of it all. There are so many transitional style houses built in that era and I can spot one the minute I walk through the door. All of those need to go as it was not a good look in my opinion in the first place all of that dark bronze metal everywhere, light fixtures curtain rods ugh! So I guess that’s more than one thing but they all seem to flock together in the mid 2000 houses.

@schnauzersareawesome7209 2 года назад

My husband bought an 1883 East Lake/Stickley style house that had been reduced to a 9-plex in the 70's. He slowly and lovingly brought it back. Since I joined him in the 90's we have continued the journey. We redid our (huge) kitchen (2nd time) in 2001. Used a composite with a quartz look because we didn't want a maintenance burden. It has green and rust features that complement the stone floor, which had been installed in the 80's and wasn't going anywhere. We gutted our third floor in 2007 and gave it a cabin feel with pine, but knowing how it yellows with time, we pickled it. All in all, we have always tried to stay reasonably true to the vintage of the house on the first two floors. That, more than design trends, has been our guide. Love your videos; I just subscribed.

My builder looked at me as if I was crazy when I asked him about cabinet pulls. He doesn't put any in his houses. He puts a bevel on the edges. But of course I put pulls on as soon as I moved in. I had never heard of leather pulls. Goodness. I have butcher block countertops and love them. Not for everyone but I live in the country and it fits the rustic (I like to think chic) vibe of the house. And I have hand painted Mexican tiles behind the stove (just there). The tiles are all different and I enjoy looking at them when I cook. Everyone says they like the kitchen so I guess I did ok.

We have a mixture of knobs and pulls, but in the same color! I was considering all pulls at first but am glad we went with the mixture instead. My last house’s kitchen was dated when it came to the cabinets, which were a honey oak color and very builder grade (built in 2005 and seemed to be common in that neighborhood). Have been subscribed for a while and always enjoy your videos! 🙂

More than a dozen years ago, I had a gray Corian countertop installed. It has subtle flecks of lighter gray. It looks as good today as it did then. Too, it can be buffed if it were to get a scratch. My bathroom Formica countertop has bit the dust, so I will have a Corian type counter to replace it.

I had a kitchen fire and had to rebuild… luckily I didn’t make any mistakes on your list, but I did pick out butcher block countertops and I’m hoping that was a good choice… I love really love them. Great video, thanks! ☺️

I am so glad you mentioned the leather handles, I am not a fan of them and they seem to be a trend right now. … as you always say “Good for you,not for me!”

@randyrice1429 2 года назад

Excellent tips, Garrett. In my opinion, and I have seen a lot of trends come and go as I am 73 yrs. old, permanent items (as tile or countertops) should not be patterned or bright colors. The "envelope" of a room should always be neutral. Put the colors and patterns in your accessories that are easy to change. Learned this the hard way using patterned wallpaper. When those highly patterned tiles came along, I knew immediately they would be dated in no time. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge. Am doing a kitchen upgrade soon and needed to hear this.

Also Garrett, to add to your list... bulkheads, especially the ones with the lights in them! Obviously they sometimes are necessary for ductwork, etc. but most are just clunky, stealing potential cabinet space, and make ceilings feel lower!

@rachaelbruesch6306 2 года назад

Yes, I am subscribed & have been for months❣️ Sweeties, please leave the leather pulls out of the kitchen. If you love the look, just use them on the bedroom furniture. I totally agree with removing the gloss from the finish of your cabinets. Garrett, I love the example photo you used for the speckled granite and that you suggested using them instead of ripping it out! 💯 As for the drawer pulls, I love mixing it up using two with the same finishes of course. ❣️

"At some point every trend becomes dated, but that doesn't mean that you necessarily have to get rid of them." I am quoting my favorite online designer here, GLC, haha! So my house was built in 2008 and has brown, speckled granite kitchen counters. I am going to have to follow your advice to work with it (since it's already here). It's in perfect condition and so practical, and my husband and I are retirees, so careful with out budget. Love your videos!

@anneporter123 2 года назад

My son is building a new kitchen for me and I chose round fancy blue knobs for the drawers and oiled bronze handles for cabinet doors. They match the faucet and the lower cabinets are blue and the uppers are white. The tiles on the backsplash are blue and white textured subway tiles. I'm very happy to hear you say use two different types of hardware. Thank you. All of these decisions have been stressful.

@erinsedmak2612 2 года назад

Another great video. I love how you encourage people to look past trends and consider the style of the home in order to make good design choices that won’t be immediately dated. Speaking of dated, I am feeling like the farmhouse white subway tile with dark grout is already looking very 2015. I know I might get roasted for that one but it’s a look that I associate with the Fixer Upper era. I’m currently seeing a lot of new white kitchens with blue islands. I have a sneaking suspicion that will also be on a dated kitchen trend list in the near future. 😬

I recently learned that unlaquered brass is strongly antimicrobial. It was an article about how much hospital acquired infections would be reduced if they replaced surfaces in hospitals with brass. Ever since I'm convinced it's what I want in our next home, even if the brass requires polishing.

@neaton1414 2 года назад

They are now experimenting with creating new plastic surfaces that have a microscopic texture like sandpaper that bursts the cells of bacteria to kill them. Pretty cool for a hospital, but brass is a little more elegant at home.

I had a kitchen remodel last year. I used the same cabinet pulls on each of my cabinets, with longer ones being on the pantry doors. But they are eye catching pulls, definitely not boring. They’re large pulls that have squares that are cut and tilted different ways to catch the light. It makes them look like they sparkle. Jewelry for my cabinets.

@TerriBB1 2 года назад

We did the same with our groovy 1948 Ranch kitchen. Our hood is glass, but the kitchen is so small, that it fades into the green glass painted backsplash. It has stainless appliances, but I grew up with them in the 1960's & 70's, so there's nothing dated...it just makes me happy and matches the Fiestaware!

Okay, decor not a built in feature, but the olive oil full of vegetables. Y'all. You're not going to use them. They are decades bad. Please empty them and recycle the bottles family.
