I wanted a white kitchen, so I got one. Then I wanted a beautiful wood-cabinet kitchen, so I got one of those. . . . after that I wanted my white one back. Turns out I just like change. Decorating is fun! As for the wooden beads; my bet is the same people who display beads also turn their books backwards! Thanks Garrett!!

RE: Beaded necklaces - I have a Kukui nut lei on display in my house. It was my grandmother's who lived in Hawaii, so it has personal meaning. Otherwise, hard pass on beaded necklace used just for decor purposes.

I finally succumbed to my desire to have a white kitchen.. (refaced the cabinets and donated the oak doors, drawers, hardware etc, to a friend who has 1970s pressboard cabinets) .I have color though.. my cabinets are white but the color comes in counters flooring and small splashes of color on the exposed walls above the cabinets and around the windows.. . My kitchen was so dark, now it's bright without having to turn on flood lights!

My favorite kitchen of all time was the huge vintage kitchen/dining room in Moonstruck. Lots of light/white and a giant table with room for everyone to congregate in the kitchen while still leaving room for cooking & cleaning. Way too many open or exposed shelves, though. I would want all the cabinets closed except for a very few cabinets (one or two) with glass doors to display antique & hand-made items, such as woven baskets & ceramics.

A white kitchen is timeless. Mix with warm tones, dark cherrywood floors and pops of color. Love traditional design.

Trend that I’m over: exposed light bulbs on every light fixture. I mean like over industrial/ farmhouse type. I think it’s better to have a mix of styles, especially if it’s literally a chord with a bulb hanging on it. It’s one of my favorite ways to mix styles is through light fixtures. Throw in some more traditional or contemporary fixtures to jazz it up a bit. I actually still love subway tile. I think it’s classic and hard to go wrong with it. I do like seeing it done a bit different though. Do a stacked or vertical design, or maybe a straight herringbone.

"The first trend we hate is... painting antiques" - immediately clicks 'like'. Agree on pretty much all of these. Floating cabinets - I'd forgotten how much I hate these! I've got one in my current bathroom but it's between a shower enclosure and a wall so it doesn't look too bad, although it's a pain to clean under. They're just one of those things that are often trying far to hard to be 'modern' but just look ugly and cheap. I could rant all day about things I don't like, but one thing, I don't know if it's been mentioned or if it's still a trend - a while back there was a thing for boxy plywood interiors. Sheets of plywood stuck to walls and ceilings. Featureless cabinets and built in cupboards all made out of bare plywood. An expensive material that looks cheap. Trying so so hard to be trendy but looking like a bike shed or pop-up shoe shop. I normally love wood but I can't stand this look. I'm sure it can't age gracefully either. Just seems like a waste of good wood to me.

We stayed at a beautiful hotel in England years ago that had renovated its bathrooms to include partially enclosed showers, that is, with a half glass wall. Needless to say, water went everywhere. I couldn’t imagine what housekeeping thought! I ended up cleaning the bathroom after every shower. No reduction in room rate was offered. It has to be one of today`s more ridiculous design trends, along with open kitchen shelving. Great video, Garrett, thank you!

The 70s called and wants the large wooden beads back for macrame plant hangers. The wooden beads collected dust back then too, but at least were part of a functional item.

I am over oil rubbed bronze. Had it in last house and all hardware rubbed off to brass! Current house remodel I mandated black matte doorknobs, hinges, strike plates door stoppers.

Easy for arthritic hands, easy to turn if hands are wet or lotion-y, and you can open with your elbow! :D

Painting furniture without understanding what you’ve got should be a capital crime.

When I had my kitchen reno 11 years ago, I considered open shelves but am glad I went with closed cabinets with glass doors instead. Best of both worlds.

I had an all white kitchen in a little 1945 ranch house and it suited it perfectly. Now I have a house in the woods that’s a little more rustic, so I have a midtone cherry wood cabinets, black and cream granite, bamboo floors, and walls that are a tan sort of color. Again, this kitchen suits the house perfectly. I also have a couple of open shelves on the opposite side of the kitchen from the range. Absolutely no problems with dust or grease so far and we’ve been here for several months. One trend I really hate is that fake distressed furniture. You know, with chippy paint or part of the paint buffed back off. It just looks cheap and tacky.

@Donna-vh5ym

2 жыл бұрын

I NEVER understood the distressed look. Why does someone want their furniture to look old?...lol., so I agree.

Advice: Couches and chairs made before the early-mid 80's are worth reupholstering, since the frames made pre1985-ish are made from solid wood with good joinery work. Couches and chairs made post 1985 (unless it's a super high quality line piece like from Baker) are usually made from cheap pine and stapled together. Post 1985 chairs and couches are throw away items. Hunt antique fairs for old couch and chair frames as those things will last 1000 years. Sad note, in the 70's, my mom had a gorgeous dusty rose velvet camel back Victorian couch that was 100 years old made with an oak frame, until my two 6'+ brothers, each over 200lbs, were wrestling and broke the frame. Still makes me wanna cry, as it had lovely lines and was very comfortable.

Open shelves are just not my thing. I imagine dirt, grime, grease and spider webs that aren’t even there! I DO have the beads, but they indeed have a purpose! Mine are rosaries that my family collected from their travels. All colors, some stone, crystal, natural things, or handmade beads. I actually prefer an all white kitchen, because my kitchen is tiny, and white is great when it’s easy to clean. I love that you’re so inclusive in your ideas, Garrett. This channel is great!

I slide open that glass and he scoots to the other side where the glass was now closed (laughing diabolically). This goes on for several rounds. Meanwhile Grandma's (me) back is giving out. Glass doors gone, shower curtain in place.

Very thin grout cracks & falls out as the tile expands & contracts with temperature changes. "Normal" white grout needs to be repeatedly sealed or it absorbs dirt & never looks clean again. I really hate grout in a kitchen. I wish my rental had smooth & uniform counters & backsplash, e.g. cut from stone or a stone-like manmade material. You still need to caulk the seams, but maintenance is nothing compared to "miles" of grout lines.

You're so right about open showers. I've never liked those either. When my bathrooms were remodeled the builders talked me into open showers because it would look more spacious. The thing I dislike most about them is that water gets everywhere. I spend 10 -15 minutes drying off my whole bathroom after every shower.

I am with you on the open shelves in the kitchen. Major grease and dust collector.

I have a floating cabinet in my bathroom because our house is heated with hot water baseboard rads. The cabinet is tucked between 2 walls and secured on top of the rads (that you don't see) and supported on both sides under the cabinet. We actually replaced the original cabinet from the 1960's and it was a big chore to get it off the wall. It would have never fallen off.

We love our white kitchen! Beautiful black sink, brushed gold hardware and a natural travertine stone back splash with wood accents for decor.

The gas station bathroom & subway comments made me laugh! Clean is beautiful. I agree with you.

The grey rooms coupled with the white kitchen look like a prison tv room adjacent to the prison mess hall. My neighbor has this and it's hideous. Sterile looking with all the charm of a greyhound bus station. She even painted her stucco AZ home dark grey. It looks like a battleship. The only thing missing is a huge gun turret out front. All the neighbors hate it.

Ohhhhhhhhhhh what a fun video to watch! Taste is so personal, I actually LOVE LOVE the white kitchen, the subway tiles (done right), I also like the floating shelves AWAY from cooking area and different than you I actually like the modern look of floating vanities, counter etc… I HATE the wooden beads, the pampas grass, the fury pillows, the painted antiques and the backward books 😂😂😂😂

What about that European trend where bathrooms have glass doors (not even frosted), or showers in the middle of the bedroom enclosed with glass panels. Not sure what designers are thinking, but even if you live with only your partner, you don’t want to see them washing his/her derriere or shaving.

But I do have black grout in my subway tile I think it pops

Gray everywhere interiors, open shelves in the kitchen, beads (wtf???) furry pillows (I had, donated them to a thrift store), cheap white kitchen cabinets, and painted vintage furniture are just a few of my “unfavorite things” that you covered. 👍🏻😊

I renovated my kitten from fake yellow oak,a red brick wall with built ins, and cheap laminate counters with checkerboard tile to white marble, white glass stovetop that blends in seamlessly, dark wood floors, matte black appliances and hardware with some gold accents and painted the brick with white wash. I love to accent the white with aqua accessories in case I ever want to change the accent color.

I agree about the floating counters, but I sure would like to have one of the floating toilets so I don't have to clean around the base any more!

About 18 months ago I decided to redo all the floors in my entire house. It's a small house :-) I wanted luxury vinyl plank flooring. I could not find any that wasn't either gray or dark dark brown. I finally settled on one that I actually found that was a mid to late tone wood color. It grew on me and now I absolutely love it. I am so glad I didn't just settle for gray or dark brown. And many people I know who did put in gray floors are really regretting it now. But of course they can't afford to change it

25 years ago when everyone was getting their honey oak or their dark wood kitchen cabinetry, I got white! I loved it then, and I love it now! But….I am constantly wiping them down, so there is a maintenance issue associated with them. That is getting better though since my children are now grown and gone.

Don't know if this is an interior design trend, but I am very tired of "artfully" staged houses when put on the market. Realtors and stagers used to warn against keeping personal pictures around when a house is listed, but now they seem to think anything practical but not artistic needs to be banished. Where is the TV? Where are the lamps in the "library" and where would you plug them in ? Don't even want to get started on backwards books. Who sleeps in a bedroom with bed and an artfully placed chair with a color coordinated throw on it but no dresser or chest of drawers? Cold, impersonal spaces...

Garrett, so many things you love, I also love. Your support gave me confidence in my style. The other morning I climbed out of bed and looked at my bedroom and absolutely loved it. I love all my renovations, but my bedroom sang out to me on a new high note. It totally lifts my mood and spirit. Thank you for your inspiration.

I bought it back in the 70's for $25.00 at a thrift store It ha traveled the world with me. Love the cool, clean and warm. The houseboat , you can see all the areas. So it is wood everywhere.

I like subway tiles if you have a small kitchen. Horizontal lines make a kitchen look larger.

If I had to only pick one HATE: subway tiles , rats, filth, urine, all should stay in the subway , it's just gross to put the filthy subway look into a home. Makes we want to puke.

I will always love subway tiles…or at least laying tiles in a brick pattern. I don’t mind a floating cabinet but those floating toilets worry me. How secure are they? Plus they tend to have the water tank behind the wall. What if there is a leak? No, just, no. Now those Japanese toilets that cost $6,000? Yes! I will have to save for them but man are they great.😂

I'm sick of trendy lighting in general but specifically sputnik lights. I feel like a lot of people get them because they think they're fun and quirky but at this point they're so over done that they're actually kind of boring. Plus there are so many unique vintage and antique lights out there that I don't understand why anyone would go to a big retail store to buy the same "unique" light that everyone else is buying. This idea of something being considered unique and quirky while also being a trend that tons of people are doing is so odd to me.

I don't have a white kitchen. I have gray cabinets. When I moved in to this house, almost every wall was painted a pale mint color, and I didn't hate it. But I immediately painted two rooms and I've painted more over the past year. My kitchen is now an ochre color, "Turner Yellow"--the name sold me! I'm going to paint those gray cabinets this year, mainly bc they're painted with latex and it's chipping off (ugh). I'm painting them a dark green that's almost black.

I love a white subway tile but I hate when people pair it with dark grouts. Egregious!

I love my white Kitchen-after remodeling a previous white kitchen to non white- I realized it was not my style to have non white- white just feels cleaner and less cluttered.

We recently remodeled our house and kitchen. I had wood 70’s kitchen and went with a two tone, evergreen fog on the lowers and warm white on uppers with lots of natural wood accent pieces and black hardware and light fixtures, two small open shelves near the sink, used a warm white medium sized picket/hex back splash with soft gray grout. Attached living room cream, brown leather with cream throws, light green and blue accent pillows, warm woods and medium wood color long wide luxury vinyl plank floors throughout entire house and tons of plants, We love it!

Sounds lovely Jan!

I don’t really get the wooden beads thing at all but I love furry pillows 🤣. I am always cold and love for things to be cozy.

I love my white kitchen it's so easy to decorate the way I want. I also have a floating vanity which I love, but it's between two walls and the vanity mirrors can actually be opened out. I also want to decorate with wooden beads (actually a rosary) as a way to incorporate something religious without being obvious (I'm catholic while my husband is agnostic).

Oooo I love that shirt ❤️

Thanks for sharing Patricia! :)

Love my white kitchen! But we went darker and more interesting on the granite, so it’s not complete white all over
