Welcome to the channel, I’m Garrett! I am formally educated with a degree in interior design. My husband and I are also real estate investors. Our videos cover many styles (not just my own), and everything from ultra luxury to the budget friendly design. We want you to have a good time watching our videos while learning a great deal of useful, and practical information.

Thank you for your expertise Garrett’s 💕 your so good at what you do.
I tried to go watch your linked curtain mistakes to avoid video but it says it’s private.
I subscribed and have been binge watching your videos, and omg they are eye-opening and brilliant. THANK YOU for giving us the key elements of interior design in this video. These foundational points will make a huge difference in our spaces. I’m buying a small, old home in France and cannot wait to apply what I’m learning from you!

This is so helpful thank you garrett ❤️❤️❤️
Am a new subscriber of your channel and I really love all the tutorials especially on the draperies and wall art.😊I’m impressed . I learned a lot. Looking forward for more!
This is the first time I didn’t understand what you were talking about. Can you do an in depth explanation of stacking depth please?
Great information!
I live in a classic tract house and my ceilings are 8 ft. When went to hang my new rods I realized that I needed 90-92 inch curtains and they are standard 94-96 inches. I am not in the position to hem my jeans much less 8 panels of curtains, so I relented and put them in the place for the standard 84 inch panel.
Brilliant 👏 👏 👏
Great video and I totally agree about the hanging artwork. I’m always focusing on the lines and how the eye travels. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge.
You continue to educate and clarify in such a refreshing manner, Garrett. Thank you for dispelling the “art hanging rule” for height. I could not agree more with how you need to look at the architecture and consider other factors. I also love how your kids have fur.
Hello Garett! Love your work
I’d like to see your opinions on a open space home with loft a loft, as far as wall paint lighting.
Also on cabin typed homes I haven’t seen anything difrent they all seam to be same ideas. Thank you 😊
Love your sweater! Perfect color and texture to go with my living room I’m trying to decorate! XO!
Garrett, Thank you. You are amazing! I love how you know your stuff! I love your ideas! One idea I would like to explore is how not to be like everyone else when designing your home. I wouldn’t anyway, but I feel like there is something to creating a beautiful space with your unique style and how it can still be comfortable and usable. What tips can you give us to design a space we ourselves will love.
Thanks Garrett. You deserve more briscribers.
Please come to my house! You are so talented and fabulous. Thank you for your amazing content.
Sharing your professional tips about decorating especially about drapes and artwork is helpful. The guidelines are great to help our homes look more balanced and pleasing. Thanks!
I find scale to be particularly difficult for myself because I tend to move houses rather frequently- what works in a 3,000 sq ft home with 12 ft ceilings tends not to work as well in a 800 sq ft apartment… the average American moves homes every 2 years! How does one invest in pieces that you love and can keep for a lifetime, while remaining flexible enough to work well in a variety of different spaces?
I really liked how you explain the reason for anything that is a must!
Thanks for the great advice and educating on hanging art work. I’d love to see a video on creating gallery walls.
Very descriptive video.
one word- AWESOME!!!! thanks Garrett!
My husband said he would hire you because you know what you’re doing.
Very good advices!
I’m so thrilled I found your channel! You break ideas down in a way that makes sense to me. Thank you for your professional opinions and ideas🙏🏼
I’ve been told dark wood floors are dated… I have them and LOVE them in my century home—and, it’s original, not laminate.
OK but how does one go about hiring you? I absolutely LOVE your channel.
Great tips, thank you.
I love how you break it down to percentages & explain why⚖️ You definitely know how to explain design to a regular person🙋🏻♀️
Does a fireplace count as a light source? 🙂 Our sunken family room has pot lights, an IKEA Ranarp floor lamp, and a big fireplace. I turn on the pot lights when working from home (my small office space is in a corner of the family room) because they make the space bright, but like the fire and floor lamp at night.
Also love your videos, as I move into my mid 30s I am ready to move on from trendy "fast decor/ design" to "slow design" that lets me really consider what comes in my home, invest when needed, and not feel like I have to throw the whole house together in a day with whatever I can grab in single trip to Homesense.
Wow! This discussion of scale really opened my eyes!
Perhaps this is more of a question than a comment: May I count daylight coming in through my windows as one of my three sources of layered lighting? Also, which do you think are the best kind of lights to highlight artwork? I have seen people use both the little overhead ones, and up lights to go to fact, but I don’t know how they made that choice. Which are your favorite fixtures for this purpose?
You are probably the first designer I have listened to that I can actually understand. You make things so relatable.
It’s so refreshing to watch someone who embrace’s all styles and doesn’t just focus on their own style and is so knowledgeable!
Have you. Considered a episode on handicapped kitchen? I’m recently on oxygen 24/7 I found my oxygen tubing constantly got hooked on the cabinet handles/pulls
Yes! These tips set off little bells in my head, lol! Thank you!
New sub here! So glad I found you bc I feel like I’m hearing the same "trendy" suggestions from the YT design community. I appreciate your formal education with actual design knowledge. I’ve started following a lot of smaller YouTubers whose aesthetic I appreciate bc it’s not all the same and isn’t trend overload. love u and your channel!
I really like your channel! #suscribed
Excellent!
Finally! Practical advice with rationale I can follow. Thanks, Garrett…I am looking forward to more videos.
I thought I was correct when I hang my art work…not necessarily "eye level". Thanks for this decor tip!
Love that adorable hair curl you have going.
Great video!
Love your channel ❤ Just discovered and subscribed.
Great video
My only complaint with the living room pictures that flash is always the missing TV. 90% of all living rooms have one, and even though they look awful for decorating purposes, most do have one. I could do wonders if mine was missing. Wish someone would come up with something to hide it when company comes that’s not a massive piece of furniture.
Useful as always. Thanks!
I cannot wait to buy my house!
Thanks so much for an actual rule on the curtain "fullness!" I knew mine were too thin, but couldn’t figure out appropriate measurements to prevent in the future. LoneFox shared a great tip for eyelit curtains to look fuller. Put toilet paper rolls between the hidden sections and they always look full. The only issue is if it’s a smaller window, I had to cut them down because when opened, the curtains were taking up 50-70% of the window space and not allowing light in.
