I have few cards from my parents, family members and kids from when they were little. They're a nice piece of nostalgia and make me feel good to look at them every once in awhile. But I agree, you don't need to keep every card your friends, neighbours and distant cousins has given you over the years.

I don't have a lable maker so I just use bits of paper wrapped in scotch tape to make a little tag. SO HELPFUL. Now the only generic cords I save are the phone charger cords because it's nice to have extras stored around.

Labeling cables make my life less stressful. All my desktop computer and peripheral cords are labeled. When something goes wrong, the last thing I want to do is figure out which cable is which. Tangled cables are stressful too. I got some small zip lock bags from Amazon -about 3” x 4”- to store cables tangle-free. Labeled, of course.

Nick, I was shaking my head when you were talking about getting a more colorful couch (sofa). How is that possible when so many retailers offer only 3 or 4 color options and they're all neutrals?!? I've lost count of how many times I've seen a nice couch online and it only comes in off white, putty, gray, and tan. And fewer and fewer retailers offer custom fabric options.

I am a visual and work at a big furniture retailer, and yes, the store can seem like a sea of greys with shadows of other earth tones. But you might want to ask the salesperson if you can speak with the visual that works there. We know what is available and the color choices. Salespeople really only know what is on the sales floor. Also most stores are too small to show every sofa that the company offers. Shop around, and good luck!

[@JohanneMatthew]

I am a retired interior designer. I had my sofa custom made for me in 1998, after working on a large resort. The upholsterer received a lot of work and so I purchased my sofa at cost. I chose a medium rust velvet upholstery and I still absolutely adore it. I DO change out my toss cushions on a seasonal basis. My sister was an artist with thread and needle. I have a beautiful cross stitch pillow with a design by Charles Rennie McIntosh (we had visited Scotland) and I have an embroidered Chinese dragon pillow (I was born in the Year of the Dragon).

Your commentary is hilarious & on-point. I'm guilty of almost all of these issues & working on dealing with them. One point in particular- opting for soft squishy feather & down pillows. The feel & upscale look is so much nicer & more relaxed than stiff boxy looking poly-fill. But, make sure the feathers are encased in a separate sturdy fabric liner & not just stuffed into the decorative removable/zippered pillow fabric itself. Otherwise the feathers will find their way out & the quills will poke you, ouch...

[@floraposteschild4184]

And recipe books! Sure some are beautiful, but realistically, we try at most a couple dishes from them, and then they gather dust. Keep only the ones that you use constantly, scan a few of the recipes in the other ones that you might make, and let the physical copies go.

About physical media - I kept them for DECADES but never watched or listen again! I finally purged them all, not making decisions about each individual one to relieve anxiety. I did so when I realized that it was not my responsibility to be the Library of Congress, that I was not an archivist or historian, and could no longer ignore the time, money, space, and guilt of keeping them. And now that I’m older, realizing that I haven’t ever consumed them since, and won’t go back to them until ever again. And if I want to watch something, I will rent or stream it, and if it is no longer available I will lament corporate greed, stupidity, and lack of care for their own products, then watch something else. And my family didn’t want them either, especially as an inheritance. But books - Kept a lot, but purged textbooks, and gave book series to several people who would enjoy them as I would not read them again. Can’t take that final step. 📚😼

[@GenXHeart]

The cord situation can be eradicated by putting a label on the cord itself. As always a great video!

This has worked well for me too. I like all my active, in-use cables labeled as well. When something goes wrong, having to figure out which cable is which just makes it all worse. Amazon offers a wide variety of cable labels. It’s a small thing do to to relieve stress we didn’t know was there.

Hello Nick, card shop owner here, from Scotland. It is considered bad manners here to give someone a gift without card, you just wouldn't do that. And as for cards, yes , lots of them are quite generic but there are also some that have some fantastic art/ photography/cartoons on them. They are a gift in it self, a thought. You would be amazed how much deal it is fro people to find the right card for that specific person to receive it. And after all you may want to display them for a few days and then move on.

[@Sabena-pl3cw]

In Germany it is the opposite. If you are able to personally deliver a greeting and/or present, there is no need for a card. Cards are for sending greetings if you are unable to be there in person.

You probably won't actually look at them that much but they'll be there when you want them to. I've also taken the covers of cards with art I really like and put them in frames and hung them up.

Tbh, I wish interior designers gave more consideration to books/bookshelves as essential/functional items that *can* be styled, but whose primary function is *not* decoration. Like a sofa/couch in a living room, or a kitchen table in a kitchen is essential/functional. Like good lighting is essential/functional. A home (of a normal, sane human), should have bookshelf with books and/or a reading nook. *How* to style it, absolutely worth talking about. But *whether to have it* should not be a point of discussion. And when designing living room (or other leisure room) ideas, layouts, etc., do not leave out a bookshelf.

I have about 15 boxes in my outdoor storage and I'm finally ready to admit that it's time to let them go 😭

Ooh good luck! It took me two years to purge as much as I have. Sent it off to all the local private school libraries around town - somehow, their libraries never feature in the school budget, unless it is for electronics or maintenance!

We retired and downsized 10 years ago. I had over 500 books and gave them to a senior center. Now I read books online from the library. Don’t have the space to store books any more.

Who wants to send Nick ALL OF THE FLOWERS? 😂 I think it'd be a fun thing to do

[@GenXHeart]

Or should we send them to his dad with a sympathy card because I feel like Nick is coming for those magazines 😂

[@jennifergraham3752]

The Nick Lewis origin sorry is revealed and it involves missing the boot and the car in his Monopoly game 😂

I do love old magazines. Well, old fashion magazines, and I painstaking collected Martha Stewart living magazines in the 2000s and they are timeless.

[@donnahildebrand8065]

I have a few magazines that featured something I was heavily into at the time. I have some Victoria magazines which belonged to my Mum and they're beautiful. 💌

I really enjoy displaying my used up candles and old remotes on my bar cart

[@trudiwalton3035]

Subscribed today! I really like the way you describe situations; had a toothache all day and completely forgot about for 20 mins laughing and thinking he’s right several of those scenarios is me! I’ll be going around my living area tomorrow! Thank you

I used to joke that my Mom would send me a card for Arbor Day because she never missed an occasion to send me a card. I saved all of them along with family photos in a mid-century Lane chest under my tv. They're a paper expression of love and I cherish them, especially now that she has Alzheimer's and forgets who I am.

[@j.m.7056]

That's a sweet story! Hug for your mom!

[@cynthiajohnston424]

Beautiful ! My Mom saved every card that Dad ever sent her ; they dated in high school & then were married 51 years . She outlived him by 25 yrs. & I know how special that collection of wonderful memories was to her . 💕

Every now and then, one of those spare cords come in handy. We kept the power cord to an old computer, and a couple years on, a friend sent out an online SOS. His computer power cord failed, did anyone have a spare? We did, he was grateful.

Old cards make great gift tags.

[@kristinesmith6567]

Oh the cheap florist vases! I just took an arm load out of my office at work and left them in the office kitchen cupboard.

[@MlleAdler]

Oh! The cables! 🪱🍝🍜🌀😵‍💫

[@susanma4899]

My husband is so bad about these. I found a pile of them when I was cleaning the garage--I decided to put them in a bag, seal it, and hide it. Then if he ever asks for such-and-such a cable I can produce it, but if he never asks it's going to recycling!

[@stevemcgee99]

Ugh I’m a hoarder. But with a streak of sovietism because I do periodic purges.

[@BB-re8mw]

ty that one rolled over me😂😂😂
