Please keep the vintage piece with the sliding doors as is. Your home can support a piece with color. And it's so iconic as is. Changing the color scheme to neutral is going to water it down sooooooo much. 🤔

You’re so right. I think once all his renovations are done to bring the house back to Midcentury, the cabinet will fit right in. I love Arvin but I’d have to agree, don’t change it!

The colour combination is integral to the design of the cabinet. If you customise it you will change the integrity as a period piece which was celebrating bold colour. 😢

As I know Arvin knows, It's possible to make something work by adding rather than subtracting. If he adds some yellow, aqua and orange in other areas of the room, your eye will travel around and the piece may no longer look out of place. But I understand, that it's not his go-to color preference.

I love the colorful vintage cabinet. Changing the color would make it just an ordinary cabinet. It was built that way for a reason and you are someone who thinks outside the box and so creative. You were drawn to that cabinet and color as is for a reason, I love it just the way it is.

I love the colors of the cabinet in your office. I wouldn't have chosen them myself but somehow they work together and it might be a shame just to do cream and black.

Or some wood work or panels

As you say, nobody asked but I love the old floral upholstery of those vintage Italian chairs in contrast with the warm solids of the rest of the formal living room. Just looks so unique... but subtle.

Your place is looking magically beautiful. Don't change the vintage cabinet, or it will loose it's magic. Toning the cabinet done will make it look cheap. Right now you have a great focal point for the area. You have a great eye!

Don't change your office cabinet doors!! I think if you change it, it will lose the appeal that drew you to it in the first place. Since the doors seem to remove so easily, you could always make a 2nd set to change out when you get that desire but don't change the originals.

The cabinet is incredible, as are the original colours. Because your home already has a lot of neutrals, the colours work and are a fresh, unexpected touch

For the love of Jesus I’m freaking out here , Do Not paint the colorful French piece of furniture. It will simply lose its authenticity. It’s beautiful as it is spicing up your home

I missed your videos Arvin. The cabinet is fenomenal, and the color scheme is part of its design. I would leave it like that and select some abstract art pieces for the wall on the right side of your desk that have some of those colors. They will create contrast while helping integrate the cabinet and making look more intentional, they do not have to be the same shade, but... well of course you know! 😊

Your cabinet is perfect for the style of your home it goes well with your bright color of your front door . Your house was build in 1950 and the """"cabinet is Eichler approved .)))it's a keeper for sure 😃😃🥰

Love to see two tasteful designers with distinct and distinctly different styles in communication with each other.

I love the vintage piece as it is. It may be the only surviving one of its run and for me, that gives it historic as well as artistic value! If you cannot handle the colour, could you find a craftsman to create a completely new version for you? Also, thinking that when you reupholster the chairs (unavoidable with fabrics) could you leave the original fabric underneath to preserve the chair’s history? That way you get comfort, the correct aesthetics and the look all in one package! Thank you for the video. It was epic!!!

Please please please - keep the vintage cabinet as is 🙂 It is so incredibly cool as it is. If you really do not like the colours (I love them - I think they fit right in and gives the room caracter). Please take care of the doors, and make new HDF-board with the colours you like, and atthed the handles to the new HDF door panels. Take care of the old coloured panels, in case you ever want to sell the peace again, you can put them back on and take the peace back to its original look :-)

Hi Arvin, just wanted to make a random comment I started watching your videos from 3 yrs ago and the current ones and I miss your carefree and happy self. I also miss you laugh it made me smile everytime...now you are all business 😔...loved your laugh made me happy...

Please leave the fireplace as it is Marvin, it adds warm to a very white/cream wall colours palette! I love that chocolate brown copper colour!

I think the colorful cabinet is awesome I also think you can match different shades of those colors like you did with the lamp. Maybe flowers .. subtle not everything has to be uniform. It’s beautiful as is .

I love the old fabric of the chairs!

The vintage fabric is a soft muted color which looks so Very good as any original material makes a vintage piece more valuable especially when it's in great shape... Just fix the broken leg and Think of adding some tapestries or a landscape mural by bringing in these neutrals onto the wall by murals is a great way to spread it around visually and tastefully ...Recently Drew of Lone Fox has been embracing more tapestries both in frames and also freely hanging on his Wall as well and so has the many fans around the World and other Designers...Honestly, Do think a subtle Landscape designed mural would look fabulous in Your Mid-Century Home as Well...🎉

For sure, I wouldn't think you would get the colorful cabinet, ever... I think it's gorgeous. Love it!!

There seems to be a strong consensus for keeping the colorful cabinet and I couldn't agree more. I really hate to see your beautiful Brutalist fireplace go away, but I well know the feeling of something that just doesn't sit right with you and you're forced to look at it every day. I also know that whatever you decide on will be incredible.

That painting is AMAZING!🥰 Glad to see an update from you, we’ve missed you!

I immediately saw the chairs in a darker grey/ green suede . The fireplace would be beautiful in dark brown , highest gloss , perfectly square tiles . I also see 3 larger Moroccan star lights on the ceiling ( with a dimmer , of course .)

OMG, Arvin I love it all. I would leave the storage cabinet as is. The color is needed and I can tell it is from the 50's if you change it you will ruin the character. I am lovin the steel.

About DAMN TIME!!!!Ive missed you so freaking much😍

Omg don't change a thing about the 1950's cabinet! It is amazing!!! If you really don't care for it, return it. Then you can have one made top to bottom in the color/s you want. But that piece needs to remain original. It's too good. Too important for history. Your friend Kristine

I agree… keep the colored cabinet! And have a wonderful New Year! ❤

We all just love your style and furnishings. You are the best. that liquid bowl is beautiful.

I'm soooooo glad that silver is coming back!

Georg Jensen has been in business in the USA market since the 1920’s, (NY City) with breathtaking pieces and I’m glad to see that the company is still selling their beautiful products.

Georg Jensen is one of THE Danish design houses, a classic! Not some random brand available on a website. Georg Jensen himself was a silver smith doing jewelry and silver ware. Now, it’s a company doing all kinds of household design items.

Happy Holidays to you and Andrew! Your mention of Georg Jensen brought back a wonderful memory. When I was in a Jewellery Art and Design program we went to an opening at Georg Jensen which featured design icon Vivianna Torun. She was so kind and encouraging to all of us and even came back to our school that evening to see our end of the year exhibit. She took the time to stop at each display, chat with the student and give positive feedback. Amazing woman!

Welcome back, Arvin, every day for many months. I've been checking to see if there is a new vlog. Today, when I checked, there you were, and I felt like I had received a late Christmas present 🎉 keep those vlogs coming.

Leave the cabinet alone! It’s beautiful the way it is!

Maybe put a cool wallpaper on the cabinet doors? I would change the doors. The 1 splash of color is probably best. Idk I'm not into the colors they selected. Very Patridge Family. Nothing wrong with it, but the glow up you suggested sounds great.

I've been wondering where you were! So glad you're back. Love the updates. On the vintage cabinet from France, I love your idea of keeping the black and cream color and adding or keeping just one other color.

I LOVE your style! Not just the house. The Lounge wear is gorgeous, your eye glasses and beautiful skin are on point!❤

I've known about Georg Jensen since I was 18 - I lived in Toronto and there was a store on Bloor Street not far from Yorkville and I love his stuff! Beautiful bowl you got- just so good! I also have the same whisky rocks and they are so good as well . Love the multi colour unit you have and like it a lot, but if you don't then by all means, change it up!

I love the cabinet, as is. It works in that area.

Happy new year! Beautiful home & beautiful you! God bless you & your family!

So happy to see you back Arvin doing the videos.. glad to hear you and Andrew had a nice Christmas and best wishes for 2024 … love from Australia

I would paint the doors in the cabinet in beautifull neutrals. Cream, maroon, taupe. Love the piece from Georg Jensen.

I am also into modern; is exactly how I've decorated my place. Lovely items you've shown. I've missed you!

Glad to see you back! We missed you! Glad all is well!

I love Georg Jensen and dinosaur I love those two modern shops

You look great ... the painting is fabulous ... and WELCOME BACK!!!

Super Chill and a Painting as a Gift. Parallel Universe. Yes, ours was as wonderful.

I love to see the colour on your vintage sliding door cabinet. It is an unusual combination and works in that interesting French way. You could always get a lovely glass vase in one of the colours. Just a thought.

Hi Arvin haven’t seen you in a while. Love your style. A gallery in your office over the chair n table would be beautiful. The upholstery of those two vintage chairs is gorgeous, goes soo good with your brown couch. Love the fireplace as is too! Don’t second guess yourself. Happy New Year all. 🥳

You always make me smile. Keep the piece with the original colors ❤

I've missed you so much! The house is looking great. Those chairs are divine 🩷

Arvin! I've missed you! Your home looks beautiful. My first thought about the cabinet was to tell you to keep it as is, but in reality, it's YOUR cabinet and if you feel like you want to change the color then do it. It needs to bring you just as much joy as the art in your bedroom brings into your life. Happy New Year from Arizona 🎉🌵

i love the new painting!

PLEASE leave both the cabinet AND the fireplace as they are now... they´re both so beautiful in their own unique ways!

That painting is wonderful and an original

I would keep 1 or 2 of the original colors of the cabinet - color the others in more neutrals. I agree that its abit too much with 4 colors... Also Georg Jensen is a danish brand, and they have soooo many beautiful things! (Im danish). Me and my bf have some beautiful organic-shaped tableware from Georg Jensen, and I love that its so different from the standard round shape - perfect for fine dining! Also my fave piece from them is the "Koppel Kande" (koppel vase/pitcher).

2 a month - DEAL You are the best one on the scene We need you - even it’s it’s just a skin, shoes, bag, vacation vid. A quick shop, flower mart, drinks, stores sources - just quick little ones. Cause seriously I have been missing you big time. Happy New Year Favorite one 😊

Thank you Arvin for talking to me like I am your real life friend! It really makes my day 💜💜

I've been LOVING silver lately! Definitely incorporating silver pieces in the new year

Love the colorful cabinet! I would not “neutralize” it. It is unique in a large part due to the color. Leave it alone!

Arvin - I have been so sick with food poisoning, but when I saw you, I was so excited, I waved at you 😂 Thank you for being my sunshine in such a dark place🩵🩵🩵

Love the pops of color sooooo much!

Omg!!!! That art piece Arvin soooocool!!!!😍😍😍😍

Merry Christmas, Arvin.

I would suggest having a custom piece made in the colors you prefer that replicate that cabinet and then sell it at a profit because it's amazing and will sell easily; rather than destroying a vintage piece of furniture.

Trovo tutto così dannatamente originale singolarmente ma nello stesso tempo sorprendentemente integrato nell'insieme che hai saputo creare.. davvero complimenti.

Love you Arvin. Have missed your vlogs. Great to see you back. Can't wait to see what you have in store for the house this year. Happy New Year to you and your family ❤xx

I have been waiting for your new video for ages...love your inspiring videos

Definitely paint the cabinet cream and black, will look stunning.

Please, absolutely do NOT change the colors. They are fantastic.

It's nice you are back. I've been missing your videos

Thank god ur back !! I was wondering where u were !! Welcome back !!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Love your videos! If you don't love the cabinet color, make whatever changes please you. Don't worry about adapting a historic piece - it's yours now. I sense that you enjoy the cabinet's form, construction, and materials. Those won't change if you select a different colorway. If you don't enjoy 100% of this piece, there is no need to carry the weight of the item's historic context or be concerned about what others think about your choices. Change the color, or let the piece go. You deserve to love it 100%.

Agree!!

Maybe put some art picking up the same colors as the vintage cabinet; put the art on the wall you don’t know what to do with. Don’t go overboard; just pick up the colors. Add a cushion with one of them to your fuzzy chair. The colors on it really aren’t that loud, honestly. You could also do a rug with some of the colors. Wouldn’t suggest changing the piece. You stepped outside your comfort zone because you loved it; if you change it to be within your comfort zone, you probably won’t feel the same love for it.

I absolutely love all of your videos. I think that it would be a great idea to customize that cabinet in your office with cream, black and a sage green? (maybe?)

The cabinet is perfect and I love the colors. Your fan here from the Philippines!

It’s coming together beautifully your house.. I also think those vintages should remain as they are.. that’s their magic!! So French that color, so mid century… the chairs also… you need some contrast to create the “magic”…. I am not mid century at all, but I do appreciate good taste and you have got that! Happy 2024🥳

miss you so much . I fully agree with the last comment. Don t touch that wall unit. Its Original and Gorgeous. LOVE all of your new stuff. The painting is beyond words . Oh that picture of you and Andrew is a Classic. Happy New Year to all Four of you. Love from Canada

Arvin you've been missed here on YT! Good to see you again! I would add a large tree on the blank wall in your office. A statement tree would fill the space beautifully and bring a bit of the outdoors in.

Of you don't like the color of the doors, have a carpenter make you some new ones but put the original ones in a closet. If you ever decide to sell it put the original doors back in.😊
