oddly specific interior design yums ✨

[@anticapitalisthomedesign]

which is your favorite of my oddly specific interior design yums? or are there any of these that you absolutely hate? curious to hear your thoughts….

[@l.m.n.2338]

⁠ The dark green sounds GOOD. I was thinking maybe a plum. I look for vintage but bedding is hard, especially if you want white/ivory without stains.

[@anticapitalisthomedesign]

@@l.m.n.2338 idk if you've seen any of Rajiv Surendra's videos, but he collects wedding sheets (might be a slightly different name, but that's the general idea) because they were only used for one night, rather than as regular sheets, and they were also much more decorative with trim, embroidery, etc if that's your vibe

[@grietcestmoi]

you really hit the nail on the head! it is so commonplace for other youtubers to lean into hating on things vs loving on them that literally within the first minute of your video, i had already forgotten the premise haha. i thought to myself "idk, i love when nightstands perfectly match the height of the mattress" and then i remembered "gah! that is exactly the point of their video!" subscribed

[@anticapitalisthomedesign]

lol i’ll try to make it a little more clear in future videos 👍 thanks for the sub!

[@hexhyss]

Same. Also just subscribed.

[@mowoe]

I watched this video probably a week ago and I feel like it permanently altered my brain chemistry, these are things I've never thought about before and yet you are so right to be so specific about them. Especially the nightstand height, and the sturdy-looking furniture you mentioned in part two. Thank you for speaking your truth 😤

[@anticapitalisthomedesign]

thank you for sharing 🥰

[@claudiama3560]

I'm so happy to find more creators with your interior style! After I found Caroline Winkler, Paige Wassel and Noah Daniel, I was looking for even more inspiration and your video just made my day!

[@brigettesnell9442]

We’re all on the same algorithm evidently!

[@claudiama3560]

@@brigettesnell9442 best algorithm on the web haha

[@anticapitalisthomedesign]

so glad i’m on the same algorithm as them 😅

[@meghamama]

These are all my faves too! So excited to discover you.

[@sdot31311]

I follow all those as well! You should also check out Nicole Manke (the algorithm suggested her page recently and it’s a similar vibe)

[@clifft4846]

This video is a breath of fresh air. I think what makes a lot of these great is how "human" they seem. Its nice to notice oddly placed/oddly sized art, leather boots that get worn, art made by kids..

[@anticapitalisthomedesign]

yes! absolutely. i grew up in the city, and i feel like we’re so sterilized & discouraged from building things & getting messy, so i love anything that feels real & raw

[@Saratata1]

I just discovered your channel. Your approach of home design feels so much more relatable than what other says. You also have so many great ideas that I would never have thought of and never heard until now like unexpected art placement. I'm currently buying a house so I'm studying the best way to decorate and furnish it and I think I'll be really inspired by your advice. I'm so glad I've found you.

[@anticapitalisthomedesign]

thank you so much! that means a lot ☺️ i’ve been wanting to do reviews / advice segments for subscribers homes, so if you want help with your new home & are okay with me turning it into a youtube video, email photos, videos, dimensions, pinterest boards, budget, and any other relevant context to [e-mail]

[@Saratata1]

@@anticapitalisthomedesign Cool I'll keep that in mind for when we'll mode.

[@l.m.n.2338]

You are so on point! I am with you on the bedspread coming back! I get the fluffy cloud duvet thing but I'm kind of over it and want to go with a sophisticated Art Deco bed vibe. I also don't need all of my pillows exposed. I want to get an ivory maybe pleated/ribbed bedspread and then have dark sheets and pillowcases underneath. So I get that calm neutral feel but then have a surprise pop of color (also tired of keeping the white linens that are close to my body spot free). Good bedspreads are hard to find so if anyone has a source please, please, please share.

[@anticapitalisthomedesign]

i love that idea and that’s basically my setup right now too with dark green sheets underneath. i’m so over white sheets getting all gross, even when i literally wash them every week. i’m on a thrift store budget atm so i haven’t been in the market for a bedspread, but i’ll keep an eye out for companies with interesting designs, reasonable prices, and good quality & ethics 👍

[@GlassesPlease]

Oh my god so excited to have found you and can’t wait to see more of your content! This is such a wonderfully presented and curated collection, love love love

[@anticapitalisthomedesign]

thank you, that means a lot 💕

[@katrinasweet5973]

You are so right about the oversized mats, never thought about that before

[@anticapitalisthomedesign]

like i said, oddly specific lol

[@sarahbarden7804]

Absolutely loved this - so satisfying! My one request - could you leave the example photos up for a little longer? I kept having to pause the video just to process them because they went by so fast.

[@anticapitalisthomedesign]

yeah absolutely! i’ll definitely work on that in the future 👍

[@KTW1113]

You’re doing EVERYTHING right!! 🙌

[@anticapitalisthomedesign]

i’m trying lol

[@hannahkaiser5110]

You really lean into the museum-y elements of decor. And I like it :)

[@anticapitalisthomedesign]

i never thought about it that way before, but i definitely lean towards clean & curated 👌

[@girliewilson9074]

The boots is so real! My leather boots, my leather belt, and hats are hung right by my apartment (no shoes and no pants immediately after work haha) but it is a vibe I so much love.

[@anticapitalisthomedesign]

cute! i love that 👍

[@nyutubeI1]

I would love to see an entire video about kitchens and bathrooms, You have such an amazing taste

[@anticapitalisthomedesign]

i’ll put it on my list 👍

[@tomblankenship5248]

I love that weave you talked about where it creates like an asymmetrical/parquet-ish effect! I never knew what it was called but now I have a new search term 😊

[@anticapitalisthomedesign]

honestly, search terms are everything in interior design. glad you found a new one!

[@catierimmer6250]

Love this!! We should all be focusing on what’s good more than what’s bad. Especially in home design, where so much is out of necessity and it’s great if you can afford both fashion and function but not everyone can offer the bat and they shouldn’t have their homes bashed while they’re attempting to improve them!

[@anticapitalisthomedesign]

exactly! if it doesn’t take a lot of money, it’ll take a lot of time & energy, which is another luxury, and some people can’t afford any of that. compassion goes much further than criticism with home design.

[@river_river_river]

This list is perfection! 🌿

[@anticapitalisthomedesign]

i thought so too ✨

[@ghazaln]

Unexpected art placement 🥰 Headboards that include nightstands 😌

[@jackieclark817]

In luv with your aesthetic ❤️. You and Paige Wassel have a lot in common in interior design. Just subbed. 👍

[@anticapitalisthomedesign]

she’s definitely up there on my list of inspiration ✨ and thanks for subbing ☺️

[@vickitollemache5000]

I laughed out loud at the leather boots, but get it. Clothes can be decor. ❤

[@anticapitalisthomedesign]

i’m all for a bold / weird decision lol

[@madison.davidson]

okay all of these were, indeed, so yum ✨

[@anticapitalisthomedesign]

great minds think alike 😅

[@keithj2010]

you are SO on the money with all these yums I'm mad at the youtube algorithm for not suggesting you sooner

[@anticapitalisthomedesign]

thank you ☺️

[@ghazaln]

Curtains 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 And relief sculptures! 🤩 I didn’t know that’s what they were called 🤔😊🙏🏼

this is literally the sweetest comment ✨

[@haleighen]

Sometimes the art needs to breathe! Big frames or mattes do that.

[@anticapitalisthomedesign]

you said it perfectly 👌

[@meghamama]

Ooh I found another design person that is on my exact wavelength! Currently building oversized headboard bed ❤ wait do I have good taste or am I just controlled by the algorithm? 🤔

[@anticapitalisthomedesign]

you definitely just have good taste ✨ dm me a picture on instagram when you’re finished!! i want to see it 💪

[@meghamama]

@@anticapitalisthomedesign I will! I happened to have this outrageously beautiful giant piece of walnut countertop from an office that I had been using for my desk but it is 8 feet long so repurposing it. I haven’t decided if I’m going to try to build some floating shelves or just use some vintage Danish nightstands. On hunt.

[@anticapitalisthomedesign]

@@meghamama keep me posted!

[@Siss2012]

I just discovered you and am already loving your content! My only (very minor) gripe is that you are a little bit too fast for me, lol! You pack a lot of information into your videos and deliver it in a rapid manner, I have to pause the video throughout to take it all in. Maybe I am getting old and slow! Anyway, loved the interior yums, looking forward to your yucks! ❤ Am especially enamoured with metal cabinets, vintage Ikea, unorthodox art placement and small art pieces in large frames! Oh, and I have a red view master I used to play with as a kid on my living room shelves! ❤

[@anticapitalisthomedesign]

noted! i’m definitely still very much in the process of working through some trauma & shame around my voice, and i know i’m overcompensating with the editing a bit lol. i’ll figure out my pace as time goes on ✨

[@hellopaulie]

I don't think you are being honest. You have made a niche for yourself in the market by putting queer in front of your design. That's all marketing and branding and you are playing the capitalist game as hard as anyone else.

[@anticapitalisthomedesign]

if i’m being honest with myself, i struggled with this, too, initially, but the conclusion i’ve come to is this. branding and selling skills you’re good at isn’t inherently capitalist. two thousand years ago when you brought grain you grew or yarn you spun to market, you were doing the exact same thing, just with more connection to land and community, so it didn’t feel as gross emotionally. it was just how you made your living. you were still carving out a niche for yourself by focusing on + selling what you were good at. under capitalism, the primary (and frequently only) goal is profit, and, yes, earning money / creating a livable wage is absolutely one of my goals for this channel / business. i’ve never made more than $16k/year because i’m autistic + nonbinary and i have trouble finding and keeping “normal” jobs specifically ~because~ capitalism only cares about making the system more money and not about making sure people can live a decent life. some of my other big goals that are genuinely more important than the dollar amount i’m making are to: 1. build community (beyond just online stuff), 2. heal / find my speaking voice + come into my fullest self, 3. become a good storyteller through video editing, 4. help people create homes that foster honest + authentic + radical relationships with loved ones and community (whether by designing their home myself or by educating + empowering people to do it themselves), 5. eventually hire other people who also tend to have a hard time finding + keeping jobs due to systemic eugenics, 6. help be one of the catalysts that shifts our cultural understanding of interior design from bougie + shallow to healing + life-giving, 7. and redistribute corporate dollars (via sponsorships) by traveling around doing makeovers for people who wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford a designer. i was living in an rv that was older than me without a fridge or running water for a year and a half, so yeah, one of my goals is to make money. everyone deserves a livable wage. but how you approach something is just as - if not more - important than the end goal. i’m never going to be a billionaire. i don’t want that. just because i’m forced into this system doesn’t mean i can’t use the resources that are available to me to critique that system.

[@hellopaulie]
