Yes! We moved in our house in December, and moved over a ton of things from our old home (so I wasn’t starting from scratch at all, had a good base to start from) and we are STILL just figuring out certain spaces and have other spaces still not done yet. I’m learning that things take time and it probably will look better that way, too. It’s the journey and process of “perfecting” our spaces and as much as I really want it all to be done at once, it truly does take time.

So, it’s worth mentioning to people: bring ur phone and do a price check on items online before you get all excited at your “great find.” I was in one of these places and found some Riedel glasses, thought they were an amazing deal, but quickly looked up their price on my phone- they were MORE EXPENSIVE at the “discount retailer!!!!!!!’ Don’t just think that because the “compare at $____” tag says a certain price, that it’s true. Its very often just a total lie.

Just build slowly so you can stop and live with it for a bit before adding more. Also, remember things like the color wheel to get a sense of colors that work well together and keep in mind the point of the room. Do you want to get energized for the start of the day? Do you want to relax and be in a soothing place? See how different colors affect you. I am all about greens/blues/even purples they just make me happy. Yellow makes me want to cry.

The walls were clad, floor to ceiling, with framed Disney art. The living room was filled with free standing curio cabinets ONLY that were stuffed with THOUSANDS of porcelain Disney characters. The dropped cupboards in the kitchen…you guessed it…topped with hundreds of Disney characters. The refrigerator was covered in Disney magnets. The curtains above the sink…Disney print!

I should have waited till the end to comment, Nick describing the Chinese worker thinking to himself what is wrong with those north americans...chef kiss! Perfection.

Another problem with rhinestones...the cheap metal setting oxides very quickly so instead of a sparkly silvertone finish, the metal very soon looks like aged basement plumbing. Then too, the prongs on the setting are often loose and you'll soon be missing a rhinestone or two (or more).

As I age I find I prefer sleek lines that don't catch dust, dirt, dog hair etc.

My biggest homesense regret is a purchase I didn't make: a large white ceramic bowl in the style of vintage ironstone. It was kind of thick and unadorned with a classic, rolled rim shape. It was unapologetically farmhouse in a good way, very humble and beautiful. I should never have left it on the shelf and although I look for it all the time, ive never seen it again. P.S. and I live on a farm so don't come for me.

This was so much fun, thank you. Also thanks for mentioning the poor factory worker and also supporting artists.

I personally really like Homesense, aka TJMaxx, aka Marshalls. Of course not everything, or even most things there are going to be wins. However, the point of those stores isn't to be a currated collection like other places like west elm, crate and barrel, pottery barn or whatever, they literally market themselves as a treasure hunt, as in you know you have to hunt and dig around to find great stuff for really, really good prices sometimes. This, as well as for some of the basics that you mentioned in this video, is why I like Homesense/HomeGoods. Maybe if I was rich I wouldn't care to put the effort to hunt for the more affordable finds at these stores, cause I would be able to shop in the expensive curated stores that you can.

I think you are incredible. Honest, humorous, articulate and correct on every issue. Enjoy your videos so much!!

Years ago I bought Dunoon mugs there for $9 , original price $28. Scottish porcelain. Love them, they’re light , thin walls.

If you have problems with your hands and wrists the Oxo Good Grips is excellent. I have replaced all of my kitchen gadgets with the Oxo type because their stuff actually does work better with arthritic hands.

Love your videos, energy, advised keep it up. I love that your videos get right to the point.

OMG *please* do a whole episode about Disney adults!! I would watch that repeatedly!

I agree with the 'words stuff. I don't like it at all. You have to keep in mind, Nick, everyone doesn't have deep pockets to spend $250 for a vase. Homegoods have affordable dupes.

For something like the basket he showed, a few minutes with a seam ripper would have taken that sign thing right off.

@susanhaney3437 I actually looked at the one he featured and with the stitching of the basket, it couldn't be removed without compromising the stitching of the basket itself. It was sewn on as the basket was being made.

As a weird Disney adult, I thank you for passing on the Disney items so I can buy them ;) I do keep my Disney stuff all in one room (mostly) and watch your channel to figure out how to be an adult in the rest of my house 😂😂

A good friend of mine who is also my co-worker loves all things Disney. I immediately thought of Emy when he started about the Disney stuff. She goes to Disney at least once a month, sometimes more. She's actually at Disney this weekend! :). I on the other hand love The Peanuts. My office at work is full of Peanuts merch. I don't have it at home because it doesn't fit my home decor. However, I just wanted to say enjoy Disney and keep doing what makes you happy. You and my friend would get along great!

@@ambergerhelper7852 Yeah I watch Arvin Orlano and he has a more approachable manner and less snobbish tone. I've subscribed and resubscribed to this channel but I've finally realized today that his personality just don't agree with me. I like more down-to-earth people and he just doesn't seem that way at all. I'm not trying to be mean or knock his brand because obviously he has a following that loves it. I just happen to not be one of those people.

I am an interior designer. Trends come and go and they are impossible to keep up with. I question my clients about what they like and proceed from there. Their opinions should be taken into consideration. I actually found a very nice piece of cased Crystal at HomeGoods. I paid $300 for it but it was worth hundreds more. I admit maybe just extremely unusual to find such a piece but I guess it was my lucky day. I would not talk down to a client. Their opinions are important.

I find you to be a breath of fresh air! My god thank you. You say it as you see it. I have to agree with you on every item . Thank you for making my morning coffee and your show a perfect combination that would work in any room. I had to subscribe!

I love watching you! Thanks for all the great tips!! ❤

I LOVE LOVE LOVE when you do these videos. I have to be honest, I've never been in a Home Goods; you make me want to go on a field trip just to see all the stuff. 😁

Yeah, the first time I went was after watching Arvin Olano go there. He did find a few understated things, so I thought I'd try. Went there for the second time recently, and bought more food than anything. 😏

I never had until I moved to one nearby when moving. It's like Nick describes. There's so much cheap, throwaway, common, tasteless mess in that place that just screams " I was made in China" from ten feet away. 😂 I did find one thing, a Kelly Wearstler coffee table type book for around $20 that was nice, and a good buy. If one is near you, it is definitely fun to go with a friend to have a good giggle at all the (98% awful) stuff there, that is IF you can stand being around a bazillion people with long checkout lines with carts full of glitter and fake canvas word art. 😂

@@karenhollywood3523 In the 2000s I used to receive unsolicited catalogs (because I subscribed to Pottery Barn?) full of this kind of crap. Different styles back then but the same level of taste. Some of it was embarrassing.

You really just crack me up! I love your candidness and sense of humor. Not chattering on and repeating yourself makes for a more pleasant video. I guess I'm saying that I like the pace, with no gobilee- goop in-between categories!😂

Omg I’m so glad this video appeared on my recommended! I LOVE HOME DECOR CONTENT ❤❤❤❤ I like the sassy delivery 💕

Once again I loved your vlog. You make me smile and laugh soo much at some of your descriptions. Such a fun 🤩 and you’re so tongue in cheek. You’re a breath of fresh air. Thanks Nick. Xx

I have a friend that lives for a bargain. When you do a store with her you find things the staff didn't know was there. As a result she comes up with the most amazing things at the best prices. One caveat though is trying to complete her looks. By the time she's managed to put everything together she's spent a fortune in time and gas searching for the items. Great if you're doing that for fun but not if you legit want to save money.

People were returning thrifted items to Home Goods…because of this fact. So many different things that who knows if that pillow, vase or lamp isn’t the same one with that tag attached.

I learned it’s important to curate purchases at any store.

The only bad thing about candles is that you can never get the same candle again! We fell in love with a candle scent, went to see if we could find it online and couldn't find it now we never want to burn it now !The OXO Brand is fantastic ! We've had our products from OXO : can opener, wood spoons and garlic press for 12 years!

Loved every minute of this vid ! Agreed as well . Great job Nick .

Nick, I have to say you look really good today!! The hair the shirt, looks like a bit of a tan.....marvelous!

Saturday mornings with Nick!

You are very entertaining. Love your suggestions and comments.

Thanks Nick! Always so good!

Just here to agree with the recommendation of Lodge - I have a few Lodge cast iron pieces (dutch ovens primarily) and they are WORKHORSES. Really, really impressed with the quality at that price point. I have baked bread in my Lodge dutch oven, I've made hours-long ragu in it (in the oven).....and it's still going strong and has a lovely patina on the interior. Such a good value.
