In this video, I go over more rich people home decor that needs to go! Is this from jealousy? Maybe! Anyways, here we go - let's talk about the overplayed, expensive home decor and interior design choices that celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow put in their home so I can make fun of it!

Here’s the thing about glass coffee tables- if you have an intricate Persian (or other) hand knitted rug, glass tables are really cool because they emphasize the rug. Ironically these tables are usually paired with really boring rugs!

@quantumphysicax9004 11 месяцев назад

THIS! I collect antique rugs (they're all genuine and my house is decidedly a No Shoes Zone) and most of my tables are skinny-legged and glass-topped so the details of the rugs aren't obscured. It's very much not practical, and they do take a lot of cleaning even in a kid-free household, so it's decidedly *a choice*. But if you enjoy the aesthetic it's worth it! (I'm kinda torn between wanting persian rugs to come back in fashion but also wanting the prices for antiques and second hand ones to remain within my normal person budget tbh xD let the rich stick with their boring beige area rugs! xD)

@jenniferlynn3537 10 месяцев назад

@@quantumphysicax9004 Right?! I LOVE my woven wool rug (which I bought for a song) - the center medallion is exquisite and I don’t want it obscured by a tabletop. I, too, am praying these rugs remain unloved for the time being - at least until my decorating aspirations are realized!!!

@cellgrrl 9 месяцев назад

As a young but poor bride a long time ago, when purchasing our first set of furniture, we opted for glass coffee table, why? Because if you live in a tiny space, the glass opens up the room. Visually it makes the room a lot more airy, and I enjoyed that. Just be sure not to buy anything with sharp corners. But I didn't find cleaning it to be a chore, even with a toddler around, a squirt of Windex and a paper towel and in under a minute it is clean. It is the easiest thing of all materials to clean.

Here in New England old large homes (not mansions) often have fireplaces in almost every room. It’s cold here. They were necessary for heat in this cold climate before modern insulation, double pane windows, and central heating. We keep them because they are part of history and can make a room feel very cozy.

If it somehow managed to stay together then I'd still be sitting in a crevice.

It fascinated me and piqued my interest in ancient civilizations. Today, as an adult, my coffee table book is a gorgeous book of old maps of Manhattan, but I love the history of New York. I find it infinitely more interesting than these Tom Ford/Chanel books that are there because they were styled and not because someone genuinely likes it. I find my guests genuinely curious about the map book and they tend to open it. It always creates conversation about the history of Ny.

I saw the weirdest fireplace the other day. It was double sided…oh la la…between the master bedroom and ensuite. Not showcasing a nice soaker tub or something, just the toilet. That’s right, anyone in the bedroom could watch their partner take a dump. But a fancy dump, over fire. 😂

@merryhunt9153 4 месяца назад

For a while I was into mega-mansions. Here are two dangers I saw every time: 1. The front entry with no handrail for the stairs. 2. The freestanding tub with nothing to grab if you start to fall. Some are up a couple steps, so that in addition to falling next to the tub, you could crash down the steps, too. 3. Also, I wondered what a fire inspector would say about the magnificent, open main staircase.

My biggest problem with glass tables is that they’re super breakable. When I was a kid, my parents had a glass cafe table. One night I put both of my elbows on it when I was doing my homework and it broke in two. I got in trouble as if I’d done it on purpose. I’ve hated any and all glass furniture ever since.

@fiddlersthree8463 Год назад

Right!! Fresh fruit as decor. It does ripen, mold and it does rot. And if you're using it, the carefully crafted pile in the bowl rapidly shrinks and looks like what it is: fruit waiting to be used in a not-too-aesthetic way. Fake, faux, phoney is the only way to go. If you're going to use fresh fruit as decor, either have an unlimited budget to keep replacing it or be prepared to put up with the ever-shrinking supply in the artistically arranged vignette.

Maybe you did this already, but a video in updating grandma’s home. I moved into a 18+ neighborhood that has a very high percentage of 75+ residents. When they moved in 24 years ago (late 1998-99) they brought in the 70s or 80s style that they were used too from their previous home. Lots of dried flowers, flower prints, flower furniture, etc., also pictures that consist of flowers or wild animals. They don’t want to spend money, so what are economical ways they can change to update and keep some of the things they love.

@anatoxal Год назад

Maybe you can just sift through the decor to see what's worth keeping and sell or give away the rest? Especially the dried flowers that might not be in good shape by now. As for upholstered furniture, how about adding slip covers in a solid color? Or a large throw blanket?

My grandma had a house from the 1800’s. It wasn’t big (2 bedroom), but it had fireplaces in every room. She didn’t use them as traditional fireplaces. She put candles and baskets of blankets and wooden chairs and flower and plants and other things in them, and they looked beautiful. They were like little display areas. I think for certain aesthetics, this use of fireplaces can work really really well.

I like my dad's sofa philosophy that a couch must be good for napping as well as sitting. The DS600 fails that basic test, so it's a no go in a residential area. Also I grew up in Southern California, outside of LA, and my family never used the fireplace just due to climate, and legally we couldn't use the outdoor firepit thanks to wildfire risk. So it weirds me out when I see LA mansions with more than one fireplace, since they're basically not going to be used as it's so hot.

Perhaps, but they are versatile, and they don't always have to be styled like you live in a DWR catalog. That said, in a home, the Noguchi table is better suited to rooms that don't see lots of activity. 100% agree with you on everything else.
