Things You Shouldn't Buy From HomeGoods

Hi everyone in today's video I am sharing some things that I think you should NEVER buy from HomeGoods. I am going to show you some pieces that you should buy instead. This video is simply my preference and my opinion. If you buy any of these things I mentioned I am not trying to offend you lol. You can buy whatever you want.

Instead of buying art Canvases at Home goods, help a struggling artist and buy an original! It doesn't have to cost a fortune.

[@ArvinOlano]

Good tip !

[@rexrad9735]

I find original art on Ebay all the time. The prices are outrageously affordable and no on else will have your one of a kind peice. I LOVE supporting budding artists!

[@susanwindley9165]

Or buy an ugly piece of art on canvas from the thrift shop that has a good frame, gesso over it and paint a new piece yourself.

[@photogher]

@@susanwindley9165 yes!

[@photogher]

Or, if you like photography, create your own art from some of your best landscapes or urban scenes or abstract images. You can even have them printed on metal sheets for something totally different.

I really started to hate the whole writing on everything phenomenon when I was randomly staring at my kitchen. And saw this: a 4 foot long flowered plaque saying love one another hanging above my stove, a large calligraphic banner across the fridge saying love yourself, and several Rae Dunn canisters and other pieces. I think I nearly had a nervous breakdown when I saw the word overkill. Time for a refresh.

For everybody who has tons of decor they want to get rid of bc it no longer fits their home style, revamp your pieces! Spray paint and crafting go far, if you're into that and willing to research on Pinterest and KZbin. It will save you money. You can also sale your old pieces at a garage sale to get money for new pieces 🤷🏽‍♀️.

[@ArvinOlano]

Such a good tip Christina

[@1134gh]

Nobody asked but ive repainted a lot of stuff from vases to picture frames and It was a lot of fun.

[@daliafellows]

No body asked, but people repainting items: 1) Don't go overboard, repainting EVERYTHING.. making it all look cheap. 2) Be VERY careful when buying pieces in thrift stores, Goodwill or even at garage sales ... DO YOUR RESEARCH... Hate seeing one of a kind, highly priced antique item, DEVALUED (forever ruined) under a can of Rustoleum. But nobody asked. My opinion. Move on... live. 😆🤣

[@riannatripp6594]

FLOR santillana fantastic idea, this I would love to see

[@GlueGunsRoses]

You may disagree, but I think a good alternative to "gather" or "give thanks" is meaningful art with a note or recipe in your grandmothers handwriting, music sheets with a wedding song or something that has meaning to you but no one else. You may disagree, but I really love meaningful stuff like that. .... SIDE NOTE: When selling DIYs the cliché word art ( Especially HOME signs with a wreath as the "O" or seasonal words like gather) pieces sell the fastest, take the least amount of time to make, are the cheapest to make AND make me the most profit. 🤣 People love their cutesy country styles!

[@gingereiss9099]

😆 that's hilarious. I love a lot of your diy's. But those "home" signs with the wreath o, are definitely overdone and not my style. However, now I might make some and sell them.

[@Epic_Shotz]

I watch all of your videos and you’re right, people love what they love. Design is subjective. He isn’t the authority. One day designers will be making an annoying disgusted look like he was making at the stuff they’re doing now that they think is so great. It’s extremely pretentious. There’s no right way or wrong way when it comes to what you like for your own personal space. Love you btw

About a month ago you ended up on my recommendation list (algorithm win ) which is weird because I’m not into (or rather I wasn’t *** Lol ) the home decor scene . But somehow I ended up watching and really loving , now I’m 10+ videos deep on your channel and I’ve been bit by the decorating bug ! I’ve been heavily inspired by your all your ideas, concepts , opinions etc . And I’m now obsessed with making my home look “chic “ while simultaneously being a sanctuary for myself and my family. I’m a hippie at heart so I’m SO happy that bohemian is so “in “ as far as decor goes . Really appreciate your insight and energy , you got a good eye and you’re hilarious . Two things I’d love to see you touch on in a future video : 1. Clutter , how you keep it at bay and keep your home looking so “chic” and “lux” while still being a human being and living in your home . Because I notice that’s a recurring thing with decorating enthusiasts, their homes always looks utterly perfect , not one item ever out of place. Tell me the secret to this 😏🙏🏻, because surely you’ve got lotsa STUFF . 2. Duvet and duvet covers. I only just recently (like a few days ago. Ha )learned that duvets apparently aren’t the sheet on top of the fitted sheet. From what i surmise, they seem similar to comforters (?) and it’s a thing to buy covers for them (?) honestly I’m so confused I’d seriously love a little Arvin presentation on this matter please . Thanks in advance! I can’t wait to embark on my journey of making my home LOOK fabulous .

As long as it’s a rehab show

[@Anita_Backrub]

I can’t bring myself to hang that stuff on my walls.

[@georgiagarrett]

I call it “homework”. Anything with writing on it, like live laugh love, or laundry, or coffee, it’s all reading. I don’t want people to walk into my house and feel like they have homework to do. No words, that’s my motto.

[@rebelfever3]

Absolutely love your style, grace, and aesthetic! You’re doing amazing sweetie. Thank you for your amazing content❤️

[@juliemichaud6118]

I was SO excited when I found those blue gray pillows recently. I bought 2!!

[@The_Curated_Life]

Agree with everything, Arvin! I was all in on the Farmhouse look but sold everything a year and a half ago once my home started looking like everyone else’s home and honestly started to look cluttered and cheap. I now look for Restoration Hardware and Pottery Barn pieces and items that are timeless and not “faddish”. And I don’t buy any decor that comes from Hobby Lobby since everybody shops there. Love your tips! ❤️❤️❤️

[@buckshot1488]

I like many elements of Farmhouse but am so sick of looking at it everywhere. And always white! When it does go out of style, and it will, So many folks are going to regret it. LOL

[@jennis4647]

I agree! Oh and I am over grey! Grey walls, grey cabinets, grey rugs, grey, grey, grey bla bla bla. Get some color people!!

[@yazminnn86663]

I couldn’t relate so much to this! My style quickly went from Joanna Gaines Farmhouse to Leanne Ford. Still selling all my farmhouse decor lol

[@ArvinOlano]

OMG YASSSS THIS

[@user-cv2us3kj2s]

Nailed it. I’ve been following these design rules for years. Loving your content

[@jenn_in_atl]

God I love your vibe and “no one asked but...”. You’re a legend! Follower for life

[@alexandrawhitehead5501]

Okay but you can have a farmhouse style home that is expensively decorated, sans any played out Rae Dunn and "Live Laugh Love" signs. When you live in the south like I do, farmhouse makes sense. All the mid-century modern city slicker decor homes feel out of place & like they're trying too hard. Just like a home filled with coastal decor but have no bodies of water within a 1000 mile radius. 😂 Location matters IMO, not that you asked 🤷‍♀️

[@ArvinOlano]

Location matters for sure

[@katherynruiz1654]

I've bought real down pillow inserts to replace the hard foam inserts that originally came in the pillows I've purchased. Often when you order pillows you are given a choice of inserts, but not always. I have a custom ordered pair of chairs from Bassett. The custom made pillows I ordered of the same material only came with hard foam inserts! Yes, hard to believe - and they were pricey!!! Not to worry, I quickly replaced the foam with wonderful down inserts. Whenever I discard an old pillow, I always save the down insert for future pillows. Just found your site and I love your style.

[@ArvinOlano]

Aww TFS and welcome to the channel !!!

[@alicenenigar843]

Just came across your channel and I LOVE YOU. !!!!!! So honest with your opinions. I need to binge watch so I can learn from you. Keep up the good videos. Love your wardrobe and jewelry.

[@marciamusiak4103]

I wish I had the money, you have such a grand style. I can live vicariously through you and Andrew. sending hugs

[@Brittneymv]

You are literally who I needed in my life right now 😂

[@MrTravis]

I found that same vintage, rug style pillow in WHITE!!!! Arrgh, STUNNING!!!

[@the1920sthe]

Wow the PRODUCTION of this. Everything is stunning. From your outfit to the content to the background. Obsessed!

[@mobellescorner9702]

I think I have broken all these don't do’s 🤣. Oh well I buy what I like but I will say it's important to know what your style is so you don't fall victim to the trendy stuff. I have a glam room and I definitely think I fell victim to the trend. Thank God I couldn't afford mirrored furniture. The other day I went to HomeGoods and I had to fight off buying Boho decor because it's trendy right now. I like it, I just don't want to fall into the trend trap again. I think neutral everything is a trend trap too. My style has always been Contemporary Modern and I’ve loved old Hollywood glam since forever so I try to remember that and stick with that wherever I go.

[@GlamourEllen]

Oh my gosh mine too I love glam now after I watch this video seems like all the mirror furniture here in the house I feel like fall victim as well. But that’s our style. And when you mention about old Hollywood glam it’s funny because I’m hosting that challenge in my collaboration for Hollywood Glam DIY and Tablescape on July 22nd and 28. Just so glad that we have the same taste and found it interesting.

[@mobellescorner9702]

Glamour Ellen really! I'm going to check that out. Sounds like something I would love.

[@MLW374]

What is the boho trend?

[@mobellescorner9702]

Ethnic Flavors Well the boho style has a lot of earth colors and materials. It makes the home feel homey and cultured with lots of layers. You’ll see a lot of wood or woven materials. The style has been around for forever but I’m noticing that my Home Goods at least is saturated with boho decor. Woven and fringe pillows etc. (I’ve been trying to shop for pillows) So I’m assuming that the decor style is really trendy right now. It’s so many boho pillows I want to purchase because they’re cute but it really doesn’t fit any of the decor in my home.

[@tinahillsdon2776]

decorate how you like, not what people tell you

[@imaeema3784]

I agree with you 💯

[@gina2464]

Tina Hillsdon amen!

[@aewell77]

Right!!!! What you like don’t mean it’s not right or it don’t look nice..everybody ain’t got a $100 laying around to buy exspensive shit

[@janispassiondesigns3673]

Totally Agree!!!

[@shallemarbalt363]

Agree👍

[@lindakellum2181]

Informative video. I never understood the “Dunn” style. I am 71 and although I have soft color throughout my home, I do believe in quality pieces without cluttering my home. You have great style and a fabulous presence. Tfs

[@alisiciacurrymayoclark9119]

Yessss!!!! Your tips are remarkable. I can't wait until my next HomeGoods visit. I feel more educated now on what to look for and what items too avoid. You are so amazing. Just love your style🥰💕, love, love, love!!!!

[@bonstermonster5260]

OMG that was painful for me! But I am teachable and loved every second. One example you showed was so me. Keep the video's coming! So many great ideas and tricks.

[@KelleyBroussardMackaig]

I agree. My poor ego is a bit wounded right now. RIP to all the Farmhouse decor I've purchased since the start of covid. 😖

[@MsSassyLaRue]

If you love farmhouse, just keep a few pie es & find a way to incorporate it into your "new look". Example: An antique farmhouse pitcher would look great with a mixture of simple, white/clear, & patterned & drinking glasses that all had a similar shape, in my opinion.

[@SilasWWE16]

I love how you start with “With nobody asked!” 😅 I love your outfit!!

[@ArvinOlano]

It’s my signature hehehe

[@one-nation-under-god7622]

I love your style! You have taught me so much! I’ve always loved high quality decor, but kind of gave up on getting it ... now I am buying quality. You make me laugh too! Thank you🙏 so very much for sharing everything that you do! ❤️❤️

[@hinnyQ]

This was spot on. Also, we need a video on how to layer and style pillows for sofas.
