I agree! Contact paper can actually be a good choice for renters when you've done your homework. You don't always have to go with the most expensive ones to find a good quality one, Amazon reviews (with customer pics or videos!) are usually pretty helpful for determining which ones are actually good. I found a beautiful white granite contact paper that really elevated my kitchen. The brown laminate granite countertops clashed with the color my landlord chose to have the cabinet painted and I couldn't stand it. Mine's glossy, but some come in matte finishes. I don't regret buying& installing mine at all.

My “shabby chic” or “cottage” furniture pieces are family heirlooms from an actual farmhouse and I can tell you that they look nothing like the fake stuff that is called “farmhouse” now. They’re gorgeous, they’re distressed, and they’re loaded with family history. I wouldn’t trade them for the world. Distressed furniture only limits your style when it’s an artifice. But since mine are a part of our family histories they are a part of us, therefore a natural part of our home & decor. There is no way that could ever be limiting.

I spent months trying to learn how to do the “distressed” technique for wood furniture. Glad I found this video. He’s so right! LOL!

We can agree to disagree on some of these opinions. To me, design is also about what makes you comfortable and gives a feeling of satisfaction in your space. There is no one design fits all rule. I’ve seen some gorgeous spaces that were designed to the Gawds but didn’t look enough like a home to me. It was too designed, too stark, to upscale. It almost looked like you needed an evening gown or a tuxedo to sit in the living room.

Haha, I'm not wasting my mason jars on crafts! Food storage is what they were made.for, and it's what they are good at😊.

Once again…I agree. I do like an occasional macrame piece though. And I use to use mason jars to drink out of because I had them and so I used them. But I recently bought some timeless glasses and MY GOODNESS…I’m loving how elegant I feel even with such a simple change.

The hanging chair... 1) Visual interest -Follow the line up to the ceiling. (And lighten the impact made on the lower than knee area, particularly as you move into a space. Heavy couches squatting on the ground, for example, might need a counterpoint.) 2) The calming effect of covering the back 180° (and a bit more). For those with sensory issues, autism, or even a significant skew towards introversion, a lack of 'nookiness,' especially where one might choose to socialize, is a serious issue. If your senses are ranging outward, particularly, going forth with more intensity, trying to connect with someone, the sense that projected effort doesn't have to cover anything behind you, or in your peripherals, is a great relief. Think of it like a person always having to whip their head about to take in two different simultaneous conversations on the instinctive level. 3) I would rather use floor furniture, or be in the air, or lounge on a divan any day. It can be utterly oppressive sitting on a thousand different versions of 'chair' day in and day out. Not only is the posture it promotes, awful for quite a few of us, but the lack of changing perspective, and the sameness of the vision are enough to bore a person to tears. I would rather have a hammock than a hanging chair, myself, but I can see where the impulse comes from. 4) There is no lifting that chair to vacume or mop under it, not once a week, once a month, or 'ye gads!' every decade. 5) Have you ever wanted to sit inside a soap bubble, suspended in a moment? Did you watch 'The Fountain,' and think you wanted to be in that bubble on the edge of that golden star, traveling by an entirely different notion of up or down, to or from?

Ok but....I'm poor and tired of looking at my apartment's dated 80s kitchen. So I traded dated for slightly more contemporary tacky marble countertops because that was the only option sold at dollar general😂

Marble contact paper: I have a brand made for counter tops (EZ faux currently, but I used instant granite in the past). We have had it on our counters for 2 years and use it in a rental property andrew the tenants aren’t easy on them. It has held up wonderfully, there are no seams in the middle of the counter because it’s extra wide and it’s a less expensive alternative for an update on the marble trend. We spent 110 dollars total. It’s also heat resistant to 300 degrees.

It’s such a great option for renters. I don’t know why anyone would use it in a home they own unless they wanna change it frequently. But I 100% stand by contact paper so long as it’s made well (the ones from target ain’t it)

Marble contact paper can look really good, it depends where you buy and which “pattern” and how strong the black is. (Like I think it’s prettier more grayish/lighter). And some contact paper is waterproof. But I don’t have mine on the kitchen or bathroom countertops but on my makeup vanity. It’s sooo much prettier now

I have the mason jars with the handles and while I don’t love the aesthetic anymore, they regular mouth fits perfect with my blender so I’m always making frozen coffee or little smoothies in them without having to bring out and clean the large blender cup. I also love that with the lids (that allow for reusable straws) if you happen to accidentally knock it off on your desk it’s so much less likely you’ll spill your drink over your computer. My hope is that I can find some classier ones that do all the things these do, because in the summer they are just so practical for me…

It makes a huge difference to have the contact paper, even if it's a "cheap" upgrade. Even stick on backsplash can make a significant difference in a rental. My parents had custom white marble countertops made 2 years ago which they paid soooo much for. They are getting rid of them because they simply do not clean well.

You are too cute! Others on KZread often come across really judgmental and not very likeable when doing these types of videos, but you are just a joy to watch! You aren’t slagging people off, or making people feel bad or inferior, you are just having fun with it! Which is what decorating your home should be; fun! Thanks for all the videos!

@@nimoeuristides Yes I agree. Not nice. I also sell vintage macrame stuff online.

I feel like mason jars can only fit a certain country/southern aesthetic, otherwise they just look out of place Of course that's just my opinion. If you love your mason jars then you do you

You are hysterical!!!! I feel the same way about Mason jars! I'd love to go shopping for home decor with you.

I like mason jars for canning my own food but they aren’t decoration.

I use mason jars for storing left over food and easy to freeze or use in the microwave. I don't own any plastic containers due to the toxins that leak into your food.

Never understood how people could drink from a big mason jar. They are too heavy and bulky to drink from. Be careful about glass that is made in China. It’s been known to leach lead into foods and liquids.

Hello fellow floral designer!! One year we had a mass amount of brides bringing in their... Mason jars..😒 I never want to see another one cross my bench.

I’m a new subscriber who loves this video especially that fact that not only do you provide the decor mistakes but you give suggestions on what to buy! Yessssss…. I’m here for your honest opinions, jokes, and added clips with the special effects (oh hell naw) 😂. Although … I will be using the contact paper as I’m renting for another year while planning to purchase my forever home.😁 Love ya and please keep up the fun, fabulous videos.💕

Love your channel. I had a fire at my last apartment. I was able to purchase the family home. Nothings been done since the house has been built. That fire was a blessing in disguise. I get to work from the ground up. Including landscaping. I'm on the right track. I agree with everything you've said on all your videos. Can't wait to start decorating. 😊👏👏👏

I have a white leather chaise lounge which is in a corner and extends into the room. Behind it, I have a arc lamp which illuminates whatever I am reading while lounging. It works great because chaise lounges sit lower to the ground than most seating so a side table and reading lamp does not work. The width of the lounge also puts the side table lamp too far away. Visually it gives a sleek and modern look as well as being functional.

His laugh makes this video 10x better 😂😂
