Stylish People NEVER OWN THESE 

I think stylish people can rock anything, it’s all about the context.

The definition of a stylish home is not exclusively reserved for the contemporary style. The floral and checkered pattern is timeless. English cottage style interiors are a perfect example of wonderful interiors using these patterns. The most important question is whether you like such interiors - it is a subjective matter.

I have my grandmother’s antique rocking chair and I love it. It reminds me of her.

I'm picturing Valentina comes to someone's house and they have a toilet rug and when she leaves, they find it outside the window on the ground. haha.

I agree with everything you said except for the rocking chair. Outside on your porch or patio a rocking chair can be SO NICE and serene to sit in while having your coffee or lemonade and just rock away...i love them. I also live in the north east so maybe it's a north eastern type of thing...but i think rocking chairs are cool lol.

They used to make sofas you could keep for life…they used to make furniture you handed down to your heirs.

"Where there's a rocking chair, no cat's tail is safe." - My daughter Maria. :)

I have a craftsman rocking chair that I love. I will never give it up.

My favorites of your videos are the ones you two do together. I laugh until I cry! And that's a good thing!

Grandma 🙋‍♀️ here! I keep my grandmother”s rocking chair for when my 3 granddaughters come to visit…they like to rock while rock the & read them books

Definite no to all except the rocking chairs. No front porch rocking chairs? What?! Y’all are both born and bred Southerners (Georgians!) like me, rocking chairs are in our blood! 🤣🥰

I love the way you two interact with each other., it's hilarious! You're not being mean, just giving some updated options in a very gentle and kind way! Love your style! Thanks for sharing.

Agree 99%, Valentina. The porch rocking chairs are where we differ. As a coastal New England native, whose style is somewhat similar to your own, Adirondack chairs on the lawn and white porch rockers are never viewed as dated in this region. Many of the most upscale hotels on Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard and my hometown of Newport, RI grace their porches with rockers that are the most coveted seats for locals and tourists to enjoy a cocktail and gentle ocean breezes. As for those mid century brown or black rockers you pictured, I definitely agree that they are and have always been unfortunate additions to a room.

"it has a handle? It is a handle!" Hilarious:)))

Who decides what is stylish???? If you love it that's all that matters.

The rocking chair was for me more than the baby. I needed comfort!😂

Omg, my husband walked in the room, finding me laughing so hard watching this video😂 You two are by far the best on social media. Love your sense of humor , so good!!😂🖤🤍

My mom had the wood couch and chair, sold Tupperware, my dad's recliner, wood paneling throughout the house, the 4 piece bath rug set, the padded toilet seat, and I am an 80's girl with the one can of hair spray a night. The plastic outdoor chairs we also had until I personally threw them out myself. Thank god those days are long gone!

“It has a handle - it is a handle”. Best line ever 😂😂😂😂. That made me laugh out loud. The two of you are comedy genius sometimes!

I have 40 of those chairs in white and 6 40" Round tables (plus the white to floor table cloths) stored in my garage - they stack! My 4th of July party is banging and the neighbors borrow them for their parties, so I can't get rid of them!

Oh my goodness. I have a 80 year old friend who still has a floral sofa from the 70s. He husband purchased it has a surprise. She has hated it from day one but the fabric never wore out so she still has it.

My Mum wanted some towelling toilet seat covers as she hates a cold seat. She wanted two. So as we made them, I named them No. 1…and No. 2.

Hilarious! 'Grandma chic...minus the chic' and 'It has a handle...? It is a handle!' LOL!

I can always count on you two to lighten the atmosphere around here. I remember our first sofa in the 70's, the material was a scene with woods, browns, oranges, greens, dark wood frame. We let it go with the house when we sold the trailer. Now I'm looking at paneling in a brick house. I am determined to have a Mediterranean style home some day but for now I just paint them. I love how you two laugh together and have fun, and in the end loving each other is what really matters in life. Love you & family!

I laughed myself silly over the carpet around the toilet and padded toilet seats! You two were so funny.

Rocking chairs are really good for sensory soothing for neurodivergent people. Sometimes health and wellbeing matters more than being stylish!

Don't forget the lampshades wrapped in clear cellophane, rubber tub mats or stick-on flowers for the tub,ha,ha

This was hilarious! I’m recovering from an illness and have not laughed so much for a few weeks! Thanks for the laughter medicine! And agree with the whole list ❤

Omg! On point on everything except the lighting! I love my 1920 full heavy solid brass chandelier with its patina and my 1920 heavy real alabaster rope pendant in my interior entry. You can’t find this quality on Amazon… plus I own a 1920 craftsmen four square. Yes we have Redon kitchens bathroom and updated all the real lime plaster… oh the sconces on each side of my old brick fireplace are also period to the home. And I’m very stylish, the most stylish folks know how to blend eras…build a home that doesn’t look like we ordered it all from RH mad pottery barn and Amazon or wheresver. Yes I own all of these a west elm sofa an RH english arm chair…pottery barn vessels but I know how to blend in my vintage and antiques. And I love that color is finding its way into the best designed homes from AD to house and gardens. We don’t all need to live in beige homes. My wood paneling is wainscoting around the dining room beadboard in the mudroom and all seasons room upstairs. I painted the beadboard. But I love the warm wood tones. Anyway the most stylish people know how to juxtapose eras and items…we know how to layer…find quality items and make home feel like home.

I’ve had everything on the list…at least once! 😂 I’m 71!! I’m going to add one…dated ceiling fans with tulip lights!! So many neat, sleek fans out there…Still love my rockers on a deep porch, with ferns and hydrangeas! Love the “handle” comment…made me snort! 😂😂

I forgot about the parachute pants! I once had a date who wore white ones, and you could see his Fruit of the Looms underneath. There wasn’t a second date.

Rocking is so SO good for baby's nervous system and sensory in general!! I didn't have a rocking chair as much for my first two but now I have one and my son LOVES LOVES it....But yeah I guess they help developmentally- who knew?!

My living/dining area and my den all have paneling- house was built in 1970- but we never did take it down and resurface the walls. Yes we did paint over them, but I like the texture. ;-) No rockers, but we do have built in recliners in our couches. As far as bathroom rugs, I do like a small rug around the commode because it feels good on my feet while sitting. We also have heated toilet seats, which are phenomenal!

Oh my goodness!🤣🤣 when Jack called Valentina a cougar!!!!🤣🤣🤣

Proof you can be objective without being mean like the old ones used to be.

I had a bentwood rocking chair..we rocked. We didn’t fall out we didn’t pinch our fingers. We cried in it and laughed and sang. Not a death..

I have had the Thonet rocking chair for almost 48 years (since my son was born). And I just can’t get rid of it 😩😩

I’m emotionally attached to my rocker that I rocked all my babies in. I hate it but I can’t part with it.

The light used in the picture at 9:14 is perfect for the Victorian millwork though! That one doesn't deserve to be a bad example

My parents (RIP) sofa had that dated floral print in the 70’s with a plastic slip cover. Ahh memories!

Awww, I still have a white wicker rocking chair from my childhood! I had it recovered it for my daughter's room in a fun orange and white graphic fabric and it looks great in there. I've moved a lot, too, and I'll probably never get rid of it! BUT, it will not be in a main room, and may get recovered at some point soon...

Thank you so much for speaking the truth, I had a couch like you said good quality, and I didn’t want to spend the money in a new one but it’s worth it it’s your home and it matters now with new living room it really makes a difference and I am enjoying it!!❤

OMG 'it's a handle!" I laughed all the way through! You guys!

LOL!! You both are great!! And I totally agree, the old stuff is old! You want your environment to make you happy and comfortable and functional with newer fabrics and colors and materials and styles.

You two are a riot. The rocking chair right beside the chainsaw . . . 🤣😂🤣

I love your videos. I've followed you for years and this was fun to watch. I am really glad you said you know you are blessed because you really are. I acknowledge you have worked really hard for your rewards but I'm glad recognize that no matter how hard you work, some folk's life circumstances dictate the hand me down furniture that's not so perfect or the new plastic outdoor set that delights them!

Tupperware never dies!! lol!

🤣🤣🤣🤣I gave away my floral sofa that was in mint condition to my friend. I said to my husband let's get rid of the wooden rocker and he says NO WAY ! LOL

Don’t worry Jack, I got the chain saw comment right away!

Another one, classy people do not leave up Christmas lights all year.

VIDEO for first time homeowners, what to buy first your house when it comes to furniture and what to save to buy for later. Things about homeowning you wish you knew when you first bought your home. How to make your home feel like home on a first time homeowner budget with many renovations to do???

I completely agree with your list. Don’t be afraid to offend people. You’re here to consult people on why things look good.

I’m pretty sure you can use drywall mud to fill in the lines in the wall paneling before painting and it helps. My mom’s house has had every one of the items on your list. I’m slowly undoing her decor after inheriting our family home. Love your channel.

Wood paneling was way out by the end of the 70’s .. also it it’s installed horizontally it totally changes the look , it can be country rustic ..

You do not like rocking chairs on the porch, you do not like them in a house ! you dont not like them anywhere, you do not like them Sam I am! (Dr. Sues)! LOL !!! No rocking chairs 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Love you guys! 🥰

Love rocking chairs, so calming. I miss mine so much, but no room in my little condo. Jack is such a kind man, always adds so much to the videos. I am a fan of these two!

Whatever you guys were drinking, I want some. 😅 Such great, fun energy in this video.

Hello from France🇫🇷 I love your videos and your humor. So refreshing. Take care💋

I'm personally over the white walls. It has always felt so sterile and cold to me. LOVE some deep, rich colors!

My mom had her sofa encased in plastic 😅 that thing obviously lasted forever because no one wanted to sit on it it

Thanks - the plastic chairs in my yard will go! However, I have one room with antique Mission/Craftsman furniture and the Mission rocking chair in it looks great (though I don’t sit in it!).

Not sure I understand the rocking chair. Yes, it doesn't look especially stylish but it's function is so great! It's calming yet also helps expend a little pent up energy at the same time. Everything else on the list: yes, yes, and yes.

I love when you two make videos together, you make me smile! Agree about recliners being ugly, but.... We just solved that problem! Backstory, after a marriage and a move (for me) we are now purging some of my husband's furniture and integrating some of mine into our home. He had a set of two very comfortable chairs; one of them had a huge "ottoman" in front of it, and he would sit there to read the paper. This ottoman (not really an ottoman, more of a small upholstered coffee table which was too tall, hard, and not comfortable to place your feet on) disrupted the flow of traffic. The room was unbalanced which really bothered me, but I seemed to be the only one who noticed. We ended up buying a set of beautiful chairs that actually recline, but look nothing like a recliner! Huge win! They look great and the flow of traffic is seamless...no dodging around that ugly ottoman! Now my husband loves the arrangement and the ease of movement through the space. Scale is another thing we are working on! My husband has some lovely pieces that don't fit the scale of the room, they dominate it. We are working to balance the den and guest room now. We will be moving out to do a full renovation this coming fall, but a few tweaks help for now. It is really a process to integrate two households with different tastes and styles. Sometimes it's hard to let go of "this is the way it has always been", but if we respectfully work together we can open our minds to endless possibilities that make both of us happy!

Would love a video on classy photo/landscape/architectural art.

I still own a rocking chair from my first baby. He is now 44 years old.

Dear Jack, If someone pees on a bathroom rug, you may not see it but you would definitely notice a pervasive odor! 😮😂

This was hilarious, especially the bathroom segment. It's true, your best videos are the ones you do together in this spirit of fun. Thank you!

You two are so entertaining...just hilarious! I love watching your channel.

I would love to see more of these kinds of videos. Jack is hilarious love you both. Thanks for always having great content.

When we got married in 1985 we had that very same sofa set. We finally got it upholstered by a professional. He wants that set if we ever get rid of it. We upholstered it in denim. My son has it and loves the wood. It is well made but dated for sure but that doesn’t matter to him.

Do you also think "brown" furniture is dated ? Vintage prints and furniture can also be stunning, but I guess if you don't like color or older things you'd be easily turned off by anything that isn't current/trending.

There is an old superstition about rocking chairs. It’s said that an empty rocking chair will attract wandering spirits of the dead to come and reside at your home. Great show! This was a walk down memory lane…my parents home had all of these. 😂

Toilet carpets and handles... I'm dying here!😂😂😂

You guys! Made me laugh. Just seeing how much fun you have brightened my day and …. I think you nailed

Omg I remember the toilet cozy at my great grandmothers.Even at 4yrs old I thought ewwww !

You two are so sweet! And I can tell Valentina that you laugh when you get nervous😂thank you for all of your advice and no I ❤don’t t have any of these things in my house😅

I’ve been guilty of all but the paneling….my late Mom had that plus all the others. 😂can’t talk hubs away from his swivel recliner, was a huge contention between us but he’s the breadwinner so I conceded.😮

Yeah, I agree. It was the recliner, but I always dig in my back every single time.

That sofa! Yes, my mum wanted to give hers to us when we got married, and I was like no way, we will save for something we like. She was so affronted! "but it's got solid wood arm rests! It cost alot of money, such good quality!"

Don’t even get me started on those urine catcher rugs! Any man who pees on the floor is not datable for me. I have three sons. I taught them how to pee IN the toilet, not AROUND it and showed them how to clean it up with a paper towel and Lysol if they missed. To this day, none of them pee anywhere but in the toilet. Just because almost all,guys pee in the floor, doesn’t mean you have to be one of them. Moms and dads, teach your sons!

Those plaid sofas went in the basement rumpus rooms. Remember those? I once had a floral sofa and when I updated I couldn’t even get a charity shop to take it. I ended up taking my chain saw to it and hauled it to the dumps. The sad thing is that furniture is so expensive that you can’t change it every time you get a twinge

Such a cute couple. I enjoy their design information.

I agree with Parker on the lighting.

I had an add-on room in a house I bought, a sunroom type thing where they essentially boxed in the old square patio 20x20 room and it had paneling. Since the walls were superthin, I didn't want to mess with trying to figure out what would install well since it probably had aluminum supports rather than wood behind there, so I tinted some sand paint, stucco like stuff, and put it on the walls and it looked great. I had to do it with my hands as nothing else seemed to work well and it ate thru gloves quickly, and I wanted it kinda textural like a plaster look, so plan on wrecked hands for a month or two, but the end result was great. Saved a lot of money too. Cheap fix, esp if it's a 'make it pretty' but you'll eventually redo the whole thing kinda project. I never redid it, but it looked great so I didn't really need to,

You both had me in stitches 😂 You have a truly lovely and fun chemistry on screen. it's a joy to watch your videos.

LOVE THIS VIDEO!! I totally agree with you about everything! (Valentina, don't ever worry about sounding mean... We need the straight- up truth! Lol) LOVE, LOVE, LOVE MY VALENTINA VIDEOS!!! Yes, I would like to see more like this...

Your husband has the best humor and wit! Only reason I watch. :-)

You both made my morning coffee so enjoyable, cracked me up. Love watching your channel!!!

Thankfully I checked all the boxes for stylish decor. Ask yourself, “is this tasteful?” If not, keeper’ moving. With regards to sofas, quality and measurements to room size and your height? Just right and comfy too. ❤

You guys just make me smile❤️. As a designer I always agree with you! That said we did get a bidet from Costco and it’s heated and I love it!

My husband has an oversized CAMO RECLINER in our living room!! Talk about difficult to design around!!! I've tried to persuade him to let me put a slip-cover over it, NOPE! Total eye-sore! **insert eye roll here!** LOL

I like you guys. You 're nice and have that natural laughter. Just sharing what you like, your taste and what you think is best without offending anyone.

We bought a 1990 built house in 2020. We switched out all the horrible brass lighting in 2022. I was SHOCKED that anyone would want it, but Habitat for Humanity Restore in my area was all about it. Lights are lights! They all worked, but just weren't what we wanted so off they went to someone who needed lighting no matter the decade the lights were from. Was thrilled to get all the fixtures to someone who could use them! So thankful! I LOVE to recycle. Back to your first topic of this video. Sofas! We got rid of a sofa in 2020 during COVID. Great structure, but fabric was UGLY and badly CAT traumatized by our cat Jackson with his long nails. Would HAVE been a perfect coucn for a college dorm room. They could throw blankets or sheets on it if needed as IT was COMFY to sleep on. Party on for the college kids! SADLY, COVID-19 prevented that transfer of ownership and I watched it get squashed in trash truck and it ended up in a landfill since no one wanted to get potential Cooties from it at the time. So sad!

"It has a handle!" I just laughed way too hard at that!

They still make sofas you can keep for life if you pay for it! I decided when I moved to do just that and I’ll have it for the rest of my life. It’s a contemporary design that will go with anything in a beautiful rusty brown leather. It’s cheaper in the long run than buying a new sofa every few years. Get high quality leather and take care of what you have. This means eating at the table for kids, no jumping on it, etc. and yes, my labradoodle sleeps on it. It still looks brand new after 7 years.

Y’all are hilarious! 😂 I was literally laughing out loud. Thanks for the fun tips on what not to use in your home. Hahahaha! 😊😂

LOVE rocking chairs on porch!

Hey! I have new Tupperware ...😂 watch it now ..🤪 As we become veteran parents , we realize what works for sure. Men love recliner chairs . Aka , " Dad chairs ." My dad had one and you knew to get out of it when he arrived . He wouldn't say anything, if someone was in it, but he had that look , he wished he was sitting in it. Lighting is very important. I do not like dim lights either . Brighten up the place .

Yes I had a floral sofa and a paisley sofa! Yuk! Also I sold Tupperware in the 70s and still have some stored away.

Wow some real oldies on the sofas.. lol
