Woah, I'm really feeling this vibe. Is it just me or does Arvin seem... different? No lie, I stopped watching because the videos started to feel a touch... inauthentic. But there was just something so real about this video. I loved it. Well done!

Again, your house is at the pinnacle of my design preferences. A forever house.

Yes, I’m back to being a maximalist. At 77 years old if I don’t use my accessories now, I never will. I have lots of things that I love, but had put away. I’m getting more and more out and layering. I’m loving seeing all my things out. I’m not worried about being in style or out of style at this time in my life. I have very little visitors, mostly children and grandchildren. Decorating for me and loving it. I’m so glad that you mentioned maximalist. Glad to see you back too! 💜Jeanette Turner, Tennessee

Arvin I've missed you but THIS you feels so calm, centered and - "in love" suits you well. All I wish is that I could have a hug. You embody friendship kindness. ❤ Longer videos are delightful.

Thank you so much!

Excuse me but happy dog snores are ALWAYS part of the ✨vision✨. Also, kudos to Marble for being such an unyielding little guard dog 🫡

You seem to be sharing more of your true self here, and I like the more relatable Arvin enormously. We married out of state (it wasn't legal nationally then) and had a costume party after we got home with everyone coming as their favorite romantic character. It was memorable and so much fun. Congratulations and best wishes to you and Andrew.

I would go with a camel velvet with a slight pattern/texture for the sofa. You already have a dark chair, and you want it to look more collected. The camel will make it present better than anything to dark, and you’ll be glad of how elegant/casual it looks. It will look more custom that way too. ❤

Warm black for sure. Goes with your warm woods

LOVE the relaxed feel and flow of this video, love your hair this length, your glasses frames, the vision for your home, the fashion, the dogs’ noises and your genuine reactions, and loved that antique store!! That large darkly colored abstract you spotted the first time you visited the store? It. Is. Perfect! Get it!! Congrats on the new rugs, as well!

I love the idea of warm mid century meets art deco. Mixing eras and styles takes true creativity and gives a new vibe that is unique to each individual. I’m having so much fun myself expressing my creativity through design in my own space.

No black sofa!!! That vintage piece is perfection, but not in boring black. A beautiful subtle herringbone would be nice.

I know what you mean about black, I have had 3 black tailored leather sofas and I’m tired of it. Great ambiance at night mixed with antiques, but miss fabric and coziness. At night it looks gorgeous during the day more extreme.

Arvin, Andrew and the Boys - You have been missed on KZread, but I truly understand why you had a gap in content uploads. Artists need inspiration, self reflection and time away to remain creative. Anything less than taking the time you need to do that would be a disservice to everyone. You’re like Adele. Her albums are intentionally spaced years apart to ensure authenticity and quality are never sacrificed. I’m excited about the new direction in your home decor with 10 percent art deco. Intimate weddings are special because you know and love each guest. Congratulations on all of your well-earned success. I have been a follower from the beginning, and I have enjoyed this journey.

Hi Arvin! Congratulations to you both! Yay! Welcome to the marriage club. I'm glad you took time off to travel and enjoy yourself. Missed you ! It's hard to decided between both swatches but I think I would go with warm black because the camera show it has a velvet texture.

Right away, I got EXCITED when I heard MCM and Art Deco. Together at LAST!!! I was obsessed with Art Deco for so long, but when I found out that Victorian/Edwardian/Craftsman-early American was ALSO fabulous and strangely cheaper and somehow more available, that was where it was at for me. But I've really warmed up to MCM and have rescued a few MCM pieces, like a chrome/Formica yellow broken ice-patterned dinette table, and a REALLY - like WOW - cool MCM coffee table that needs SERIOUS restoration. I also have a late '40s curio cabinet. Finally found my already-restored (phew) dream Art Deco console table WITH side table I use to...watch Arvin videos on. Lolz. Because that's where my TV is set (the mirror is the most). Rescued a beautiful Art Deco tallboy dresser (the wood smells INCREDIBLE on the inside). Been obsessed with Tiger Oak (rescued a c. 1910 mirror-mantle) and Birdseye Maple (RMS Queen Mary-inspired, of course)! I rescued an Edwardian Era humidor AND semi-rescued an Edwardian Era side table (the one item I actually bought for $20 at the Salvation Army). Dang. That's a lot more rescuing than I thought. Ending is NOT better than mending. Anyway! With all these eclectic pieces I am gradually restoring and polishing up, I am trying to fuse these three styles together with slightly more emphasis on the x>1930s items. And I am syked to see Arvin's MCM/Art Deco fusion because I NEED the inspiration so I can figure out how to fuse all these different styles in my own space.

Gtsy again! Don’t be mad but I’m voting against both black fabrics because HELLO you have two sweet furbabies with light colored coats! That black fabric would be a fur magnet.

@MyCrownstar

18 күн бұрын

Agree! I'd stress unnecessarily trying to keep the fur off as its so visible with a dark color. Perhaps roll tuffed pillows in a dark color would give the vibe he's going for. I have a fur baby and bought a leather sofa, so I could just wipe it off, because I lost the battle of trying to keep him off the sofa. His fav spot is the corner of the sofa on a big fluffy blanket, that I wash when needed and everyone is happy!

Warm Mid Century Modern meets Art Deco? Sounds perfect! That office sofa is everything! Go with your heart. Better to regret the acts of commission, rather than omission.

What a treat on a Sunday (love the longer format). Loved your thoughts on change and coming back to yourself. That verdant green in the Petra is beautiful! Congrats on the collection.

Yes, all is well :) sometimes a little soul searching is all you need.

Welcome back Arvin. You’ve had a big influence on the way I furnished my house so you were gone for too long and I really missed you. If you can’t post videos at least could you post shorts of Marble and Sage? I missed them too, now Sage looks so much bigger than when you were posting last year. My house is mid70’s, and is concrete and glass, so I am looking to add more wood pieces to add warmth. I love the warm mid century meets art deco style!

The switch from MCM to Art Deco is really everywhere.

Loving the input from Marble and Sage. Plus, congrats on a reset and re-inspiration in your life!

It makes sense that your inspo & creativity stems more from your fashion because you are an extrovert who needs to share and then experience the responses of others. You can’t take your home decor outside to show it off, and take part in others enjoyment the way you can an outfit. Sharing on social media is just not the same. Reading comments doesn’t make one feel the vibes like seeing people’s faces. I get you!

Favourite video EVER😍 I’m sorry you went thru a trying time feeling uninspired Arvin. You and your spectacular je ne c’est quoi, and jois de vivre have been missed. Sooo delighted you’ve found your new design ethos. Congratulations on your nuptials🎊 You are beautiful consulting with Andrew and sourcing art you both vibe with. Thank you for being you💋🤌

I like the cool black because personally, I think it will balance your gorgeous warm space and especially if you’re going to be using the blue cushion pillows which is also cool but a bright cool color.

OMG …. Sooo missed u. Welcome BACK! Thanks for asking about how we are doing. That’s very kind of you.

TURE DESIGNERS ARE BORN we all have a genius. 🙏🏾

Sofa: I would explore a few more color options - what about a deep olive, or a very deep pumpkin orange/rust. Incorporate some 'water' elements into your home as well, to keep balanced. I truly enjoyed everything about this video - your fashion shots were captivating - like artwork themselves!

I have to say your new hairstyle is so beautiful, the texture, the style is just so good with your bone structure!

So good to have you back, Arvin.....you were missed! Congrats to you and Andrew! Looking forward to many more informative and fun videos. Btw, I love your look now....hair length, glasses....so cool! ❤️

I love the turn to maximalism, but more of a curated maximalism, not "there's an empty spot, lets fill it with shit". I think it allows an expression of individualism-- embracing an unapologetically "me" style. Full of texture, art, and whatever colors make us happy. So glad you're back, it will be fun to see what the thoughtful changes in your personal journey bring to the table of design :)

So, so happy to see you again! I have missed you so much. Congratulations to you and Andrew for your marriage! My, you seem to have changed so much. You seem so calm now. Your hair is different too. So glad you have gone back to dressing up. Fashion is such a big part of your personality. As for the color for your office sofa, I vote for the dark black. Would love a new tour of your beautiful house and decor. Please don't stay away for long now. You make me happy, and you make me smile. Love you! ❤

Hi Arvin, I absolutely love your sense of style. Those pieces are fabulous! Congrats, here's to many years of love and happiness! 🥂

❤ It's so nice to see you again, Arvin! You've been missed. Congratulations to you both on the marriage license! I really love this video. I feel like it gives off more "vintage Arvin" vibes. I believe the time for self reflection has given you that fresh energy we've always adored. I SO appreciate your honesty, openness, and generosity of spirit. Have to mention how much Marble's snoring made me laugh! 😂 Love your new inspirations, and can't wait to see the progress in your beautiful home. You always look amazing, too❣️ Thank you for sharing your joy.

sometimes we need a reset. Happy you found that! And by the way I love art deco thrown into design. I feel that’s how my house reflects. 💘

So happy to see you again congratulations on everything in your life.I have been watching for a long time through chemo radiation and surgery.I would kick back and watch you alway made me smile great ideals .I hope your family is well .Thank you both and the fur babies.

I get it, I always dressed up too, the last 5 years I'm mostly in t-shirts or sweats. 😂 Its a major event to get ready to go out- so I don't lol!! But it does affect your inspiration. I have wanted to be invisible 😊 Pulled back into myself.

So good to see you again Arvin! I'm glad you were able to take a break. You are back with a renewed sense of peace and calmness. I loved seeing you and Andrew together. You seem so happy together. It was fun to see you two shopping together. Congratulations on your carpets. They are beautiful!

13:12 - boy do I get it when you say the modern furniture doesn’t fit proportionally to your mid-century house!! I had a real problem with that when I was living in a very tiny 1930s row house in DC. I couldn’t get modern furniture through the front door much less in my tiny living room. The primary bedroom could fit no more than a double bed. I finally had to settle on buying antique 1920s-1940s furniture. Once I did that, everything worked perfectly. I just reupholstered chairs and a sofa and I loved it!

You seem more mature, and more focus on what you want, which is great, happy for you 👍🏼👌🏼. Love to watch ur videos, even though you dont do it often like b4 but i know ur busy, ty , much appreciated.

Yes! Nothing in life is stagnant so why should your decor be? I'm currently redecorating my apartment and am also bringing in some art deco elements, a bit of a midcentury vibe and unexpected, funky touches. I'm doing it on a tight budget so it's slow-going but I'll get there. I can't wait to see your next chapter, Arvin.

Honestly it was an ICONIC move 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Even though I’ve literally loved every single fashion moment I’ve ever seen you give (like mood board worthy truly 😍😍😍😍 I mean duh!!!) I so so so respect growth and evolution, and honestly have used very similar strategies to fund my furniture purchases 🙈😂. The way you merged your style across the board is so poetic, and inspiring, and I can’t wait to continue viewing every single moment along your evolution 🥹🥰 Xx

Welcome back and congratulations! 🎉🌺🎉🌺🎉 We all benefit from seeing you. ❣️

Your new ring is beautiful. Thank you for showing it to us. It’s good to have you back. Production note: Your audio sounds echoey when you broadcast from home. Please consider a wireless lapel mic. The farther you get from the microphone, the more echoey you will sound.

You’re always so genuine and inspiring. Keep sharing what you learn. I love your home and what’s great about it is that it’s like this large canvas where you can keep reinventing what’s important to you. By the way, I loved the warm black for your office sofa.

Welcome back! Thanks for including us in your life journey, I vote for the cool black sofa. And yYour grey Samba textured cotton-blend area rug available at Rugs USA is outstanding.

Yes!!! Love love the mid century/art deco mix!!! There’s an interior designer on KZread who said in one of her videos that you should never mix those two design styles and I couldn’t disagree more. I’ve been doing it subtlety in my home for the last couple years and I think it looks fantastic. Now that I know that’s the combo you’re going for, I want to do it even more!!
