DANGEROUS Home Decor Trends 

This makes me think of an ancient proverb; While on a ladder, never step back to admire your work...

The 'floating stairs' make me SO nervous! I also have no idea how people get past coding issues with them!!!

As a media room fan, thank you for explaining why most of the time you should not place a TV over a fireplace. All your suggestions are so spot on and well considered.

You made it! I told you!!!! 100,000!,, you deserve it! On to 1,000,000👏👏👏💜✝️

Leslie we’ve always said the same about those stairs! And the ones with no railing!!!!! OMG!

So glad you addressed rolling furniture, such as chairs….yikes!

The green background lighting….and YOU are beautiful! Great video Leslie!

Excellent tips!!!

Another important suggestion is a fence and locked gate around any pool and even some hot tubs accessible by children. Another is screens on 2nd story windows and even ground floor windows. Can never be too careful. Love your channel and always look forward to your Vlogs and IT'S. Thank you so much.

Yay! Congratulations!🎊🎊🎊 100k!!!! Happy for you!😊

Hi Leslie,Thanks for sharing the dangers of decor trends…I didn’t realize the hazards! ❤️Blessings

Wow!!! You are the first channel (that I know of) to do this kind of safety videos ... KUDOS!!! You should be given an award for this. It's funny you would bring this up though. Recently, I found a low vintage chair that I thought would be great for my Shih Tzu to curl up on at night (being that she is developing problems jumping up onto the bed.) I brought it home and put it in the living room, hoping she would get familiar and comfy with it. She didn't and so I thought I'd get rid of it. Unfortunately, I put it to the road again and nobody claimed it. My husband decided to put it in the backyard (where it eventually found it's way to the "burning" pile because of a broken leg.) Last weekend he started a fire and put the complete chair on the fire. WHOOOSH!!! That thing went up like a fire bomb (is there such a thing???) The material burned so fast that it was melted and gone within seconds!!! Oh my! I didn't even think about how much we have moved forward in safety re: household furniture, materials, etc that come today when we enjoy the "vintage" look, we forget the safety features of what we are putting back into our "cozy and safe" home. Thanks for doing this. I will proceed to get my "farmhouse" look with safety in mind. Point well-share and taken.

Great clip teaching us about dangers in our homes!! Another warning is about candles is they should only be burned the equivalent of 1 hour burn time per each inch of diameter. Then extinguish it and wait for it to cool before relighting. I have severe bone loss and have been warned that I MUST get rid of all my scatter rugs to protect me from tripping and possibly having a nasty fall.

sooooooooooooo many decor, style, decorating, staging, design, etc. videos out there - soooooooo refreshing to see a commen sense approach! thank you, thank you!

These are such good points - thanks!

Thanks for the tips. You are so gorgeous. A beautiful caring person. Looking forward to all of your videos.Love to see your family members too.

Great topic.A family member works with OSHA & I hear lots of safety stories. Be careful folks.

I’m not crazy with TV’s over the mantel, but my fireplace gets too hot anyway. Thanks for all the good advice.

Some great advice. So many decorating trends/fadd that are so unsafe and really not practical. Have never liked the tv above the fireplace. Hadn't thought of heat issue but neck issue. Staring up at tv causing pain. House plants and pets and kids, stairs like that are totally a hazard... Thanks for doing this video.

Great video! There was a television show a while back called dangers of the Victorian home and it’s neat to see another version but with an update at home for now!

I promise I was listening to all points 😂…but the comment about your motorcycle burn - you brought me right back to late 80s when perhaps that also happened to me! And, yes, I still have my reminder on the back of my right calf. Thank you for all of your wonderful videos. True blessing to listen to them and add you and your husband to my prayers!

Great tips! Thanks.🙂

Thanks for those great safety tips.I had no idea of the wicker and the bricks walls. Bless you for keeping us safe.

Thanks Leslie! Good things to remember!

I love the way you say railing ....

Congratulations on 100k subscribers! Love your channel!

Such great info.! I appreciate your hard work! Thank you, Happy Sunday!

This video was done sooo well!! And thank you, Beautiful for sharing this wisdom 😘👍🏻👍🏻

This was very informative. I’ll never forgot the Christmas I lit candles on the piano and forgot them. Didn’t realize until I was putting away the decorations and wondered what the red stuff was on the walls. Wax!

Happy Mothers Day and have a wonderful day with your family and I enjoy all your videos and Jason is a gem

Congratulations on almost 100k! Happy for you to reach that first big milestone! 🎉🎉🎉Love your channel!

something else to think about. someday, when its time to sell your home, especially with inspections, the safety features you discussed are very important and updates or repairs might have to be taken care of

Thanks so much for telling the dangers in decorating. There were many that's didn't know. I especially liked how to test the temperature before hanging the TV above a fireplace. All very helpful tips.

Thank you for this. It’s things I wouldn’t have thought of. I also have a scar from motorcycle pipe. Horrible pain too!!!

Thank you for bringing these up, Leslie. Very wise to before cautious.

Leslie, thanks for the research It can be dangerous if we happen to be careless with our placement of certain objects. See you next video. Have a great week!!

Things that make you hmmmm?🤔🤔 Great information! Thanks!😊 ( 100k almost here! 🎊❤)

Leslie, this was an awesome, practical video. We have some exposed old brick which I love but was unaware of the moisture issue. As for the TV thing, I am always nervous about TVs that “hang” above the FP and falling on people , pets or children. We added a new family room a couple yrs ago and after much research to design our built ins, he added a large, deep open box area above the FP unit and he super insulated between and covered the bottom of the box with dark gray tiles. So the TV now sits into the box, back from the mantel which is the same level. The rest of the box is sheetrocked to the crown molding and we painted it charcoal gray so the TV blends right in ( built in shelving is white ). Hard to visualize, but it never gets even warm inside it. It also keeps the TV from causing neck strain.

Great information! You never disappoint.

Thank-you for posting this helpful video Leslie. You look lovely.

Great info. TFS.

Leslie, thanks for the good advice. I tend to be so careful, but it's the things we don't realize. Good work!

Nice job, Leslie. These are things we just don’t think about! ♥️🙏🏼♥️

Thanks so much for all these great tips! You are so lovely to do so much for all of us...

Thank you Leslie, good information

Good advice for all.

Oh my goodness, this was so helpful! Thank you~

I just discovered you! I just want to say you come off so sweet and genuine. Also, you are so pretty!

Great tips! Love your channel! ❤️🙏

I 💯 % agree about the horizontal railing. I too love the look, but I always think, 🤔 that is a built-in ladder for littles!! It scares me!!

Thanks for sharing these!

I notice that in a lot of American kitchens the microwave is fitted above the cooker, which isn’t something we do generally in the UK. I’ve always puzzled over it, doesn’t it get hot when you use the cooker or perhaps you just have to make sure you don’t do both at the same time?

Wow, I learned so much, thank you

Keeping you in my thoughts!

Thank you for this video . So many things you need to consider , thank you for bringing it to our attention. Love the space you were filming from ❤️

Thank you for such an important video!! I also wonder how people can get home owners insurance when they do certain renovations! Rail-free stairs are just a giant safety hazzard!

I have a scar from my bikes pipe as well lol. Great video and points! God Bless! 🙏🏽

Really interesting thank you, I personally hate open stairs, too clumsy and I'd spend more time on my toosh 😂. Xx

Great tips. Thank you

Excellent!

Thanks for all of the ideas to stay away from.

Great advice and tips.

I always wondered how people didn't have a problem putting their tvs over the fireplace. Great info! Thank you.

Great tips thank you ..♥️💜

All super great points!! I've never seen anyone do a post like this and wow, all great information! Thank you!

Thank you for sharing! Great good to know info!

Thanks for the great information!💯👍🥰

Thanks for the informationI never thought about moisture-catching brick or extra-flammable wicker.

Let's get to 100k subies..so glad to be apart of this journey

Great tips! Loved the new look of your filming! 😉

SO MANY GOOD TIPS, THANK YOU

This was such a great informative video, thanks for informing me of hazards I didn't know about! I will be so much more careful with the wicker baskets I have in my home now. You should do a part two sometime, a lot of people use vintage dishes from Corningware and such and not all of them are lead-free. Plus when you do a DIY project and you have a rag that has stain or finish on it, it can catch on fire unless you dispose of it/store it properly. Too many home decor hazards to count!

Thank you! some of these things I never thought of. I really enjoy your videos.

Thank you for all the information, some I wasn’t aware of.

Hi Leslie, great tips, thank you so much for sharing.

Hi Leslie, Enjoyed this video and didn't think of the exposed brick and potential mold. Thank you for the reminders. Also wanted to ask you how you and Jason are. Haven't see an update since you interviewed the neighbor and kids. All my love and compassion for all of you.

Thanks for sharing!

Great information 👍

Great video . I think a video needs to be made about renovations. My sister had her whole home redone . The choices and things you have to think about is crazy . Like kitchen soap dispensers that are part of the counter . Left or right . If it’s part of an island how far do you go back so it does not obstruct people eating on the counter the other side of the island just imagine how many decisions like this for the entire home. . When we redesigned our kitchen, they had a microwave on top of the stove. 1) it blocks someone from attending the stove when you have multiple ppl in the kitchen ( mom cooking , kids want to reheat something quickly) 2) it’s dangerous to pick up something above you especially that’s hot and heavy 3) it’s harder to clean or maintain unless you are a certain height .

Thanks Leslie. Very good reminders!!

..... Personally, Miss Leslie, I have not ever been a fan of " The Television over the Fireplace ", I did not ever understand that, taking the focus off a beautiful fireplace by placing a TV over it. I'll take flack for that ...it's ok, lol. It's not a nice look, just IMHO. The heat issue , for one ,and it's not a good viewing point , for ones neck . I wasn't aware that people actually think stairs without a banister is ok ...??? I believe it's against Building Codes. ... A great video, with good information on things I'm not sure many are giving a lot of thought to.

Thank you Leslie. I never thought about my exposed brick wicking moisture. Great tip! Have a good week sweetie 💗

💗First of all, love this video. 👍🏼My husband and I are residential designs. Not sure if I have told you before. We drawn new home & also renovation plans. Keep up the the great video’s . Sending hugs prayers and and kindness with lots of love. 💗🙏🏼

Love all your videos! ❤ thank you for the tips!

OMG those open staircases had my stomach doing flipflops...can't even imagine and would never want to walk up one especially not that I'm in my 60's..totally unsafe for youngen's as well!

Thanks for the informative video Leslie. Pretty hairstyle.

FANTASTIC ✅✅✅

Stairs without any railings. Nope. It would freak me out . Some really good tips. 👍I have a lot of brick fortunately I live in the 🏜 desert and we get very little rain. Some of these things are like "well duh!" why didn't I ever think of that. Where I live, and most places you are required to have a fence around your pool. We actually lost a home to a fire started by a candle. It was by some long flowy curtains.

Lots of good information.🌺🌺

Our sons were helping friends finish installation of new laminate flooring, one of the home owners attempting to sit in an office chair on rollers, the chair moved quickly on the new flooring, a fall and broken wrist was the unfortunate result. An uncle has a clear rubber pad under his roller chair, preventing damage to the floor or quick rolling. I had wondered how people could put the tv above the fireplace glad to know there’s an easy test 🙂Great help, also maybe outside dangers to?

Great advice! Thanks for the video 🥰💞

Wow. You really don't think about most of these being an issue!

Congratulations 🎉👏

We just had our platform going to the garage from the service door upgraded…grandchildren!!

Are we there yet ? Ha ! 100K ❤🐨🇦🇺

where did you get the top you are wearing? its adorbs!

I turn my kitchen into a candle factory,(I make candles) as far as plants goes, we have silk plants, we have a bird and a pup so it’s safer for them.

I have a scar from a motorcycle pipe too lol

Rolling chairs can be a BIG hazard if you're not careful. My 80 year old father almost fell sitting down in one....it rolled away from him. please make sure you have a firm grip on your chair before sitting.

Scented plug-in room fresheners…
