DREAM OFFICE MAKEOVER & REVEAL | SHARING WHAT'S NEXT IN MY DESIGN JOURNEY

[@JulieKhuu]

Came to see you DIY, stayed for the killer design content Arvin! This is probably my fav video from you to date! I love that you took us on a journey to detail the why’s behind your design. It really offers a fresh perspective and helps those searching for the perfect piece to consider the why’s behind their decision-making. Bravo baby!! You deserve a space that inspires you daily! Oh and one more thing- anything/everything related to textiles/ fabric in product design. Your background in fashion really shines through! Get it boo!! 🙌🏻

[@ArvinOlano]

Julie!!! You are an angel. Thank you for these sweet words 😍❤️ I appreciate the support

[@ChristieZachary]

Ditto Julie!!!! This was just wonderful!

[@HR-re6mr]

Julie sister always so supportive and classy!

[@visitingfromsantafe1329]

Love Julie Khuu's show!

[@karenreid4822]

Feeling the love in Julie’s post.

[@ingridstockton4607]

You've designed/created an absolutely splendid room, Arvin, that is so classy and yet is comfortable and inviting. And your killer outfit totally fit the vibe for this room. Your style has become continually more elevated and refined, and it's been such a pleasure to see you grow and change. The color of the chaise is perfect, by the way; don't change it, please. That, along with the rich color of the column, adds such depth and richness to your office. Bravo!

[@paulap7386]

Its so lovely to see someone so happy because they have followed their joy and expressed it so others can witness it as well .

[@LaurenLux]

Can we just talk about the GROWTH though!! You’ve evolved so much Arvin and still staying yourself. Love it! Congrats on the new office 🥰

[@ArvinOlano]

Thanks Lauren !!!!

[@Gus2vina]

Couldn’t agree more.

[@LaurenLux]

@@ArvinOlano you’re welcome! ☺️

[@jllafont]

The Arvin product dream lineup: lamps, vessels, rugs, artwork and pillows!

[@hereforthevideoessays6399]

Yes!

[@hereforthevideoessays6399]

Though I love the pillow he talked about in this video!

I was so worried about those sandals!!

[@dianedoskoch9650]

[@lorenadonatogalindo]

I am LOVING the office… you personal style and you decor aesthetic are blended. This era definitely suits you. ENJOY your new space!

[@annafilippone5896]

Love the new sofa, but wasn’t the other sofa new? What happened to her? Also love mid century and Italian craftmanship and design, but I’m totally biased.

[@Reulus]

This is what I would call a thoughful/intentional, beautifully curated space. I am glad to finally see you use color in your space. From my perspective, this space shows an artistic maturity in you that was absent before. I always felt you were staying in your safety zone and afraid to use color; everything you chose is exquisite. I look forward to what you have in store. Congratulations!

[@lineametor249]

I have watched you since day 1 from those RH doupe days. I love being a part of the journey. Design is forever evolving and your transparency and passion for design is so inspiring and educational. You're a legend in the making. PS. No matter how far you get into the world of design. We will still want our rug show.😂😂😂

[@stylebysrxgs]

Every. Single. Piece. 🤤🔥

[@pawcatsfly]

@@ericcookescandlewall4350 lol love it

[@Liza03V]

I would love your switch to mid century modern. I would loved to see you designing lamps and sculpures and in the end to design furniture pieces. All the best Alvin. The office pops now. So sirene. 👏👏👏❤❤❤Keep going!

[@dontaft7056]

Room is absolutely gorgeous. Your talent has increased exponentially since I began watching you on YT. However, I guess your budget has done the same! Awesome!

[@yazminnn86663]

You’ve come a long way Arvin! Still remember your Homegoods days and suggesting you name it “the rug show” 🤪

[@lynnpelletier4321]

I can not come up with words expressing what I think about your stunning new office. I love love love everything in there. You are so very talented and as a maker/creative myself, listening, watching, and learning from you is a joy. The best thing about your process is the way you use your knowledge, and passion to make your vision a reality. Thank You!

[@JessicaJ_]

My favorite office makeover to date. Congrats on your continued growth and endeavors Arvin

[@ArvinOlano]

Thank you Jessica!!!!

[@janemashburn8448]

Arvin, I’m always blown away by your design talent. In response to what your followers want to see YOU design, I would like to see your personal style create vessels and other forms of pottery. And on a personal note I love your sense of clothing style. I just love all things ARVIN!!!!

[@leticianelson3450]

Oh my GOD Arvin! Every piece in this room is so beautiful. The In Transition piece reminds me so much of you and all of us who are in this world changing and transforming our lives hopefully for the better. Just like the Potter working at the wheel. When he is not satisfied how the clay is forming into his hands, the potter starts all over again as seemed best to him. You are not only transforming your home, but you are also evolving into a beautiful soul.

[@lorenlash9174]

Yes. Mid century modern was a worldwide movement. You should check out the Bauhaus School...you'll find a treasure trove of history on the brilliant minds that kickstarted this inspiring era in design. Bravo on your new space!

[@nancybonarowski5427]

Love the statement art piece! I think you finally found just the right art for that large wall. Loved your explanation of the meaning of the herd. Your room is so beautiful I would never want to leave it!

[@monserratdaga8276]

I am in love with your space. That sofa? That artwork? That table? And all the sculptural pieces? Amazing. Perfection. I just love how elevated but laidback your design is.

[@tinadendy2588]

ARVIN!!!!!!! I missed you too, but this was so worth the wait. I will be rewatching this video and pausing several times over many days and weeks just to take in the carefully sourced and curated furniture and accessories. You are so talented, and we are so blessed to be on this journey with you. Your success is so well-earned, and I just knew you were going to be designing furniture and accessories. I think you should design unique side tables because they can add so much to a room without a big footprint. Fast forward 12 to 24 months……we WILL be touring your new home that you and Andrew design with Marble and Sage in mind as well. Congratulations! Bravo! Thank you! 💕

[@ArvinOlano]

You are the sweetest!!! Literally made my day Tina. I appreciate that

[@myrnadejesuspizarro2445]

Love your description of your art piece. Didn't really love it at first but your feelings on it transformed my appreciation. LOVE IT, LOVE YOUR VIBES. THANK FOR SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND YOUR SYMPATHY.

[@hereforthevideoessays6399]

I would love to see your design of an entryway bench that stands up to weather but welcomes guests and sets the tone for the home!

[@holls_homes]

this is so incredibel...WITH A ROOM THIS GREAT YOU NEED AN ENTRANCE DOOR THAT MATCHES YOUR WINDOW ... to good to hide behind a regular door.... YOU ARE NOT REGULAR. Love your vids Arvin

[@savannahvasquez4698]

Congratulations on your award !!! When I own my first home I’m using your channel to help me design it ! 🎉

[@yahmein]

Been watching you since the beginning and I think I grew a deeper appreciation for you watching this video, I couldn’t really point out what it was but, you give us deep history behind design and your pieces and that’s something unique, it really shows your undying love for what you do! 👏🏼

[@ArvinOlano]

I appreciate that! I've come to realize I love collecting art in all forms: furniture, ceramics, rugs

[@HelloMyeashea]

When you put up that Kader Boly, I LITERALLY SCREAMED! With Joy! Totally my dream piece!

[@Ardna53]

Love that you remembered to wear the shirt!

[@kaydianburton5445]

Its everything for me...that touch of the burnt orange chaise blends seamlessly . The transformation is beautiful and the outfit killer. Love your growth taste has certainly evolved.

[@thewaterycrab5216]

WOW! I love the way your style keeps evolving but always stays so chic and so YOU! BRAVO 👏!!

[@suzanneclark125]

Your enthusiasm is contagious!! So excited for you and your future!! Truly the best!!

[@palesasepanya241]

How perfect is this room!!!! Wow, thank you for taking us with you on this journey! I felt that “I miss you”.

[@myrtecampbell7083]

Absolutely fabulous, your authenticity is intact, but your sense of style has evolved. A movement from Home Goods to more high end products that reflect “you.”

[@audreylynsantos3709]

Pure genius !! I’ve been waiting for this reveal!! Congratulations on the award!! Well deserved! 🇵🇭🇵🇭

[@nened9105]

This room needs to be in a magazine! You have to get it published, simply magnificent and intimate, Who can achieve both? Arvin, of course! The marble table, the table! 👊🏽 bellisima! Vessels, curtains, rugs, lamps, coffee tables, any accent decor, I would love to see from you. The outfit! This video was a Feast for the eye. Love you so much!

[@jennljohns]

I would love to see you design vessels. Maybe hand thrown pottery, sculptural knickknacks. I think it’s simple enough to do, and a lot of people would purchase them from you to have a little piece of Arvin in their home

[@nened9105]

Agree! Wholeheartedly. That would be amazing.

[@MickySMayer]

Your whole office is a vision of love and Beaty. And your outfit is to die for. You are educating me in European mid century furniture! Love ya!

[@jennyturcotte2371]

Yayyyy!!! Perfecto! I just wanted to express to you that since i discovered your channel a few weeks ago i changed all the textiles in my appartement, bought a new media buffet for the living room, art, vases, candles and you were my source of inspiration. You are magic! Thank you so much for inspiring us to follow our passion for decor no guilt just following our hearts ;) To answer your question about what i would like for you to design : pillows! Are you an aquarius?

[@Laurajlithgow25]

I can see you designing anything but I think you would absolutely kill it with tables & chairs. You really have an eye for gorgeous accent furniture that makes you see furniture design as an art form.

[@maylani3697]

I can feel the excitement and energy emanating from you. It’s infectious. Beautiful! 😃😍

[@elizabethdaniels51]

That Finnish fuzzy chair is the bomb! The closet desk is absolutely beautiful. Wool boucle couch is beyond! What a gift you are to help so many of us find our style through your process.

[@kaitycampos]

First words out of my mouth "oh my goodness what a design queeeeeen" 🔥🔥🔥

[@lmccabe7430]

Everything has a beautiful sculptural look - the Soriano pieces, the pillow, the chair… See, you CAN have a vibrant color AND a minimalist look. Thanks for sharing your new look.

[@lindaingoglia1277]

You look SO happy! That was perfection. Yes, every single piece, and your amazing reveal outfit. This room seriously looks fantastic from every camera angle. Please don't re-upholster the Soriana. So glad you waited to find the perfect art for above your beautiful sofa. I now finally understand boucle. Oh, and the coffee table!!!! Lastly, I can see you designing lamps for sure. You've come so far, Arvin!!! Congrats!!!

[@erica5648]

I’ve seen your design style develop from the boho time to this beautiful mid century journey and it’s been so aspiring to learn from you. It’s hard to think about one thing for you to design because you’ve educated yourself and us in all the elements you being into your home. But if I can personally pick something for you to design it would probably be sofas. I know you love texture, movement, and colors so I think that would be something so awesome to see come to fruition.

[@JEMmusicgroup]

Here's a tip for the slow motion pan. Film that b-roll in 60fps so when you slow it down, it will move smoother. The office is beautifully done!

[@ArvinOlano]

Ok!! I always get confused with those kinds of shots hahaha ty for the tip my love

[@JEMmusicgroup]

@@ArvinOlano you’re most welcome 🙂

[@selmag5819]

[@bettafishes913]

Don't have the Soriana Chaise reupholstered! That little corner would make for a very lovely filming/photo spot for your content creation! For some reason, a touch of red always looks good in your spaces as evidenced by the flowers you used to have in one of your vessels.

[@ArvinOlano]

Ok I don’t think I will hehehe I love this color

[@hereforthevideoessays6399]

+1 on this being a corner for filming!

[@stephsf9169]

agree, you will be so sorry if you touch that fabric. Also, never change the frame of a vintage piece of art. I learned that painful lesson the hard way.@@ArvinOlano

Hi Arvin...Your chosen style is fabulously luxurious and AD worthy! Love the office makeover! You keep upping the ante in decorating and choosing pieces that reflect your personality! Congrats on your reward in adding to your incredible journey!

[@maggiemctoon3018]

Ahhh everything looks amazing!!! I'm so excited to hear you are embarking on new design endeavors!! Honestly I still have yet to find any dining furniture that really truly grabs me...something that feels sculptural with a wabi sabi charm that also functions for a cozy comfortable dinner with guests! Sounds right up Arvin's alley!

This is the best place to play musical chairs! Beautiful!! 🤩

Congratulations everything is beautiful. You are so down to earth and authentic . I love the way you deliver your content ; never a dull moment with you .

Hahah I love it! You know I had to have a little boucle laugh in there. Thank you for watching (:

Arvin, just one word "Gorgeous", who doesn't want to work in a office like yours? The colours, texture, all the items. Question, what did you use to hang the big pic on the wall?

[@phenomenal_mother_of_3345]

Not a fan of the mushroom lamp but it looks great in your office don’t think I would have been bold enough to buy it

[@christinajensen7490]

Yes you Said it.....your design journey! I am a fan, and it is both fun and interesting to watch how your design taste developes as times goes by! I love how exciting you get when new items arrives and it makes me proud when you talk about all the great designs, especially when the pieces comes from my country Denmark, though it is often very expensive. We do have great designers still alive, and some designers who made great beautiful classic......Can wait for you to Discover more! Your Danish fan, Susanne Jensen.

I love the office... but speaking of sculptural that blouse, top is screaming show stopper, head turner🤌🤌who is the designer?

[@lsamoa]

Indeed, but a lot of the modernist stuff from that time peiod was, though

[@sheliaerwin3899]

Please design vessels and other home decor lamps stools etc

[@ArvinOlano]

You are so nice TY!

[@johnh.3492]

OMG!! The couch on 1st Dibbs is $15k along with a $5k coffee table custom rugs and the chaise for another $15k, art, drapes (are those the ones from Amazon?) quick math puts this at over $30k just for a refresh of 1 room? What do you do with your old furniture? I guess you got it like that now so the home goods and target days are probably a thing of the past.

[@corneliastreets]

I could totally see you designing beautiful and sculptural versions of often plain things like bookshelves, bar carts, console tables, and light fixtures!

[@kano2130]

I feel like lights and vases are so unique to you and your taste. So I see you designing vessels or lighting.

[@wendyjohnstone6504]

Question: what did you do with the old sofa? Is it in your living room? Do you sell your old pieces?

[@CrystalPlattSLC]

I grew up in South Africa, and the first thing I think when I see your painting is that it was inspired by a Bushman painting. I love it!

[@ophelia1398]

ur taste is so genius !!! and i love your connection to the art you buy!! its so necessary to be connected to the art in your home!! ppl should invest in art too!

[@ArvinOlano]

Awwww I have such a hard time picking art lol.

[@TheSecretChateau]

You describe your cattle print as a "new design journey" so yes, it is representative of the herd finding 'new pastures'. But it's also fresh growth, nurturing the herd so it becomes stronger and more resilient. In many cultures, cattle represent 'wealth'. When you yourself relate to this, it's not monetary wealth you're relating to, but a wealth of ideas and the expansion of those ideas that comes from those new pastures you're yet to venture into.

[@Craftgirly]

It’s the best non-sterile home office, I have ever seen! I love it. So cosy, comfy and inviting! :)

[@Enchanteralle]

I love your office! Gives me great ideas for my office. I'm still in the process of shopping for furniture for my office. I am annoyed how some pieces take 15-20+ weeks to arrive, so yay for that table for taking only 2 week to make! Thanks for sharing!
