I'm way too poor to adhere to trends or to even care about them coming and going. I just come here to listen to Nick talk 😊

[margierules]

i am NOT plugged into the newest interior design trends so putting on this video and having the first item be “sheep” absolutely floored me- who is buying theseee

[miraearles]

I raise sheep and people always want to give me sheep themed things... They can be cute but I already see sheep every day outside, I don't need them all over my house too! It's too much. 😂🐑

I had a canopy bed with netting in the 90’s. I was aiming for Ralph Lauren safari vibes. What I got was the netting becoming infested with some sort of horrible beetles. My romance with canopies ended with me screaming and covered in beetles while entangled in the netting 😂

[doh]

I really like that you go in the opposite direction from most influencers. Instead of buy this to make your home updated, you say, you don't need this. Like it.

[marylhere]

Much of my home is Curbcore. Last garbage and the first garbage day and the pickings are easy.

If I could count the amount of sheep I've seen in trendy interior design I'd... huh I feel really sleepy for some reason.

When I was 20 (56 years ago) my Grandmother said I could take anything out of her attic I wanted to furnish my first apartment.I found so many beautiful antiques and, over time, refinished & repaired them. Then I got married and my MIL did the same thing - more gorgeous antiques.All from the late 1800's to early 1900's. Almost all solid oak.Solid as can be, never abused.No one in my family or my husband's would ever let a cat scratch or a dog chew on our furniture for instance.Anyway - all these many many decades later I still use, love and appreciate all those pieces of furniture. I've had purchased furniture that was no where near the quality, and after a few years it was time to get rid of it.Personally, I think antiques furniture is the way to go when furnishing your first home - then just keep it til you die as I'm doing. When your young you really enjoy refinishing and reupholstering them, and over the years you can change the fabrics to keep up with the styles.

When I was 20 (15 years ago) I was given $8, 000 from a relative to furnish my house and at her direction I spent that money at like 5 auctions on 18th century French furniture and I have literally never needed any other furniture for my house to look timeless. Since then I’ve only ever purchased antique paintings and bronzes for my house to build a collection, and upgraded the lampshades to pleated ones, but literally everything else is the same. All the chintz curtains are at least 50 years old and are the newest decor items in the rooms but still look timeless, but literally everything else is from the 1700s (except the lamps, but they are still antique). I have never regretted buying these items, it all looks timeless and feels satisfying when I’m in my home.

In 18th C French they had canopy beds because bedrooms were not private rooms (so people/servants would walk through your room to get to others) and they had no central heating. So canopy beds provided a small area heated by your body warmth, and stopped people from seeing who you were 'sleeping' with.

[susanparker]

I burst out laughing at those sheep. If I saw that in a living space, I'd be thinking that the homeowner needed professional help! What a hoot!

[Lucian-mgmw]

I have animal core at my place, it’s a cat. An actual cat.

[raedorin]

The glass blocks that were an original feature in a well designed home look great. It's weird to just add them to a space randomly

[susancrawford]

I've had my canopy bed since 1990, bought in Toronto at the Art Shoppe. I live in a studio where it's tucked into an alcove. I love it and I'll never get rid of it. I just rehung it with filmy transparent apricot sheers. Yes, I live alone and I love it at age 75.

[evebehr]

The original canopy beds weren't designed that way because they were fashionable. It was because the rooms they were in weren't heated all through the night. So you needed to have an enclosed space so you could keep your immediate environment warmish. This was done with a combo of bed warmers and body heat. In essence, they were indoor tents.

We are on the same page, Nick - Golden Girls is hilarious! I recently bought new Brooklinen towels on your recommendation. When I was asked where I heard about their brand, I told them a Nick Lewis video. Their customer service wrote back and said they love you too. ❤ Your suggestions are so practical. Thank you.

[Varykino]

I am a Gen X Australian and consider myself relatively design literate but the sheep thing has completely passed me by. Although we have recently had the dachshund trend in fabrics and decorative items. Love your channel - come for the content, stay for the sardonic humour and appreciate your focus on affordability and practicality.

I have original glass blocks in my front vestibule as side lights. My house was built in 1955. I kept them and really like them. I would not want them in the house as walls though!

[tena-eh]

1940's home of grandparents had glass blocks beneath upper cabinets which cast natural light on the counters. It was brilliant!

[CM-ojoi]

I will always be in the antique corner… only because i love that they are now more one of a kind than mass produced new ikea. I do like new too but i love love the older stuff as it is made well. You can get them very low cost if you are a person that likes to really go to junk places to look for that one treasure. Which is totally part of the fun. Oh and 1st dibs. Let’s get real, that is strictly for people who have money lol.
