My word sign, "A yawn is a silent scream for coffee." A gift from my son, I can't let it go.

My ONE word sign is a framed poster that I had specially printed. It reads, 'I love you more.' These were the last words my mom spoke to me before she passed away (her standard response every time I told her, ' I love you'). Every time I look at it, I hear her voice in my head, and it brings me comfort.

I have a 70s trivet hanging over my kitchen sink it says "the hurrier i go the behinder i get" it always was in my grandma's kitchen, when it came into my ownership its wanted to stay there.

My one word sign is a small glass plaque given to me by my friends on my retirement. It says, "You know all those things you wanted to do? You should go do them." I have it put up on a little strip of wall in the kitchen, next to the cupboards. I do like seeing it, and I do need reminding, at this stage of my life, that life *is* for doing those things -- at least some of them.

My 8 year old granddaughter to her friend, “Do you know what that is?” Friend, “No. . . “ “It’s a REAL camel saddle. Great grandma got it when she was in Turkey! Here, I’ll show you!” She goes into the library, picks out the EXACT book depicting how the saddle is used on a real camel. I just stood there with my mouth open. . . bless her heart, she LISTENED!

I live in a 1970’s townhouse on the water. I absolutely abhor the overdone, tacky “seaside” decor. I have original midcentury modern furniture from my mother and mix it in with other contemporary furniture. My mom’s furniture is very sentimental to me and I love that my house decor is unexpected.

I have a tin- sign, that says: Calm down, we re all crazy...it s not a competition. And some beautyful sunflowers around it....I love it, because it s true!!!

I keep my cat’s water and food dishes on a corner kitchen counter (hated constantly kicking them on the floor) and made my own sign that reads “Simon’s Corner.” 😄

Garrett already tearin’ it up on this Sunday morning 😂😂😂 and you know he’s like, “I woke up like this”😂 & I love that for us💙

My word sign is „Do not throw anything out of the window“. I stole it in the 90s from an express train and fixed it under one of the windows in my first apartment. I grew up in a rural area and everybody from home was quite shocked when they came to visit me in the big city. They thought it was an official sign of the housing management - quite a rough neighborhood! :D It‘s now part of my gallery wall and I still love it.

I was laughing out loud with your dorm room comments- so on point! I will now start using this expression. I'm an antique lover and have several pieces of decor from my grandmother and mother that were handed down to me that I love (including a Wedgewood small vase) and they are still around because quality lasts. They were meant to be passed down to the next generation unlike the IKEA/Crate and Barrel/Wayfair/etc. items destined for the landfill. I despise cheap and tacky decor and agree with everything you said. Thank you Garrett for another great video! 🦩🌴☀️☺️😊❤️🥰❤️🥰☺️😊

I gave my husband a sign that says... In my defense I was left un supervised. He keeps it on his dresser. 😂😂

My ONE sign is in the laundry room. It’s a pretty piece of framed art & in calligraphy I wrote the lyrics on the glass “Ain’t nobody dope as me I’m just so fresh & clean… so fresh & so clean, clean… 🫧🤗 that’s all though, don’t come for my neck, Garrett 😂💙

Thanks for your advice and much-needed humour today, Garrett! My husband is really bringing down my mood, swearing in the bathroom because he is repainting it. I made the bad mistake of thinking I wanted a pink bathroom like I had twenty-five years ago. Turns out I don't like that anymore. Now he has to paint over it with Benjamin Moore Decorator's White. Pray for me. He's livid. LOL!🤣 ❤you, Garrett!

"Word signs" MUST GO! I agree! Tacky!!

My word sign was in my kitchen, and really cliche, but I loved it for a reason. It was a Live Love Laugh sign. The reason I love it so much is because when I moved into this house, I had just gotten out of a really toxic 18 year marriage. My family of origin is toxic too. So, since I had never really lived, loved or laughed my entire life, that sign has a major meaning for me. New house, new life. But after I had my kitchen remodeled, I didn't put it back up because everybody hates signs. I still have it, in case I change my mind.

I’ve never heard anyone mention dorm room decor before . You just roasted it. 😅😅😅

Clap, clap, clap and a standing ovation for you Gareth for including the sad boring beige everything decor as tacky!!! 👏👏👏I was in one such home recently and I could literally feel the life spirit being drained out of me... (ok that's an exaggeration, but you know what I mean.) "Being boring is offensive to me" is a straight jab to the face.. 😂😂 💗

I agree vintage and antique items have so much more interest and quality.

“Being boring is offensive to me” 😂😂 same, Garrett, same.

"Bacon makes everything better" it was a gift and tickles me becauase I keep kosher!! The only word sign I have and it lives in the jitchen.

Word Signs are sometimes very worth it. -My teen was depressed, so I got him a sign for his bathroom that he sees every day that reminds him he is enough as he is, he is not alone, and he is always loved. It worked wonders to help him with his depression. Also, when I had little kids, the "dorm" and "kids" printed covers made sense because they are easy to wash (and I had less cash as a young mom), and little kids are impossibly hard on stuff. I am purging all of that now though.

I have a small sign on a kitchen shelf. ‘Remember, as far as anyone knows we are a normal family’.

No word sign here. I couldn’t agree more with all you said.

Anyone Florida residents who have a half bathroom completely “ Floridaded” including beach themed wallpaper trim around the ceiling, towels, soap dispenser…..the works. No words included 😂. I do have a sign with my beach town’s name with the Longitude & Latitude coordinates on it, near the entry. It’s a matter of pride.

Yes. I agree so much! Robbing a house of everything, that is typical and original, and make it look like every other influencer s showroom, is just ignorant, senseless and in total disregard of the soul of the house!!! No-one can be happy there....just wait......😮

My spouse and I went through a rough patch. We weren't having problems with each other, but we were both having so many issues that we had no time for each other anymore. On impulse I bought a sign that said "Work with me, people." One day I was embarrassed to have it, so I flipped it over. We both flipped it back over periodically when we needed the other's help with something, and I think that that sign was all we said to each other for about six months. (added in editing) I did get rid of that sign the moment the rough patch was over for both of us.

I have a colorful laundry room with quirky vintage art & ONE sign that says 'Laundry Room- Drop Your Pants Here' 👖 Makes me smile when I enter

I have one sign in my kitchen which says, "If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be vegatarian". Paul Mcartney. London , England 1981. I am vegetarian, so it suits me. I am also a Beatles fan. Thats the only sign I have in my house. Looking gorgeous as usual Garrett. Love from Australia.

I have a bunch of kids so i have a sign that says "support wildlife, raise kids" 😂im alaskan so i take actual wildlife very seriously but i need the funny in winter

I own one word sign “ Agenda for the day: Let dog in, let dog out, let dog in, let dog out. On a shelf right by my back door where I let my dogs in and out. You get it, it is highly accurate. some days … yes that’s the bulk of my day. Wouldn’t trade it for the world

Can't let it go...It is small but says "What greater gift than the love of a cat Charles Dickens"

I have two, but one is in my bathroom with a plague doctor picture that says "Wash your Hands," and the other in the kitchen is a black and white one that says "Live Laugh Lobotomy."

I was shamed out of my hand made iron “mangia” word years ago. It resides in my garage and may come back in at some point😀

The "oh its ... Nice 😐"

I have a sign in my kitchen that says " born to shop, forced to cook " 🤣a reminder for my husband.

Finally there is someone brave enough to say the truth about this beigemania and mass produced wall "art" creators 👏👏👏

What does our house say on the outside? It says: "Old and simple and if you fix the roof, plumbing, windows and kitchen you could enjoy your stay. Find the cash and do it, please!" I will try. Before we can start on the inside we have to address the outside. Seriously considering filling in the pool so we have a bigger garden and less maintenance because of a pool.

I love ŕeal vintage quality pieces, real crystal, real art...the more unusual the better!

The words, sign thing just won’t die. I never liked it. Never understood it. But I figured it would fade away. It’s still hanging in there somehow.

Our one word sign is … “My SUPER POWERS include Drinking Wine & JUDGING OTHERS “…. of course kept near the wine collection ! ! Another inspired video Garrett ! If a room is all beige, it’s just as bad as all grey and I personally don’t like all white either !! I suppose for me colour drenching is probably too much as well! I do like cohesiveness and flow but some vibrancy as well! For me I’ve got greige walls … so I’m adding caramels and soft browns and teals and greens. Love to Cornelius xx I have so enjoyed reading the “ Le chic family” comments for this one …. Some great signs out there !!!😂

I got quite a lot of things from ebay. Especially the things that is functional and decorative, a rattanframe mirror from the 50s, a pair of brass oil lampets etc...

I laughed so much with this video. Your expressions. 🤣😂 You would be horrified by my house. I hang a wooden sign over my hallway that says, "Home is where the story begins." I love it and had it hanging the whole time my four kids were growing up. I wish you would do a video on picking out timeless bathroom tiles that don't look cheap or tacky. 😀

This is not the Market! This is the Pantry! 😂 My ONE word sign is •ski lift• ➡️ with the arrow underneath pointing out the door. Its in my garage and above my snowboards! Motivation to go! 🏂

I see this word sign as soon as I step into my home: It's Good To Be Home....That sign is a keeper

Another thing to look for on metal items is the welds. A quality welding job should be smooth and even all the parts, no splatters or sharp points.

Oh, Garret! I loved this video! Yes, I have to agree with you about the word signs. They're ridiculous.

‘Oatmeal’ 😂. Okay I held it in (don’t know how honestly as Garret’s on a role today ) until oatmeal and lost it 😂😂😂😂😂.

Hilarious! Cheered me up no end. And as always - spot on.

I have Andy Warhol’s “Dorothy Killgallens Gateau of Marzipan” in my kitchen, but otherwise live, love, I’m laughing!

So, I do have a Live Well, Laugh Often, and Love Much sign, but, I do also have the poem where it's from below it.

"...choices" 😲 Garrett giving nothing but stone cold shade. This is the channel I didn't know I needed.

I have a doormat by my front door that says "Come Back With A Warrant," and a very small ceramic sign in my kitchen that says "Beware of the Cat" in Italian.

Damn Garrett did not come to play today 😂

Love the explanation about a basic, sharp contrast, cheap looking pattern vs an elevated pattern. I hadn't really thought about that before.

“A word to the home decor manufacturers out there…” Go go go Garret😍

"Being boring is offensive to me" 😭😞😭😂😂😂I'm crying over here! 😂😂😂love it! I need you to put this on a t-shirt!

I love, love, love that stone fireplace. Drool. I want that soooo bad.

😂love the Sunday cheer… yes I have one word sign…. In my cat room/office…. I have pictures of all my family on the walls…. On the short wall…. I have pics of all my cats..self portraits…. I do not have children…. My sign on that wall is “all my kids have paws 🐾 “tacky or cute but I find it funny…. Thanks for sharing ❤

This makes me laugh. You cannot talk people into dumping the word decor. They love it!!!!

I have exactly one word sign, unless you count a UK shipping forecast map (I don't) it reads "The more people I meet, the more I like my cat" I keep it because it's true. The thing that says tacky to me is cheap plastic plants, I hate them with a passion. There's nothing nice about a plastic pot with fake plastic pebbles surrounding some nylon and wire stalks with some sad, unconvincing daisy like thing stuck on top.

Keep the “EAT” sign out of the bathroom 😂

I do a lot of nature paintings. I’ve used several for my walls, and have kept my color and decor scheme nature based. For the most part. Still have odds and ends that aren’t, but am trying to transition those out.

Your sign talks are the BEST!!!!😂😂😂

Ok. My word sign is really raunchy & causes lots of laughter. I'll keep that one 😉

OK Garrett, “Dinner is ready when the smoke alarm goes off” or “All you need is love and a Bulldog”. One is black & white and the other is quite colorful. ❤

“There’s always Time To sit on the Porch” My only sign is tin on the front porch with matching gliders You are so spot on Garrett 💥 Hilarious 😂 👏🏼 Thank You 😘

Glass decor. Also check for lines left behind from the mold. How well does it catch & diffuse light? With Colored glass, you cannot buy new, even decent quality, affordable colored glass. Colored glass is now a coating on the clear glass, versus being part of the glass like it was in the past. The colorful coating doesn’t catch light the same way. I can spot it instantly even if it doesn’t have parts of the color scratched off yet (it will, it’s never a matter of if with modern inexpensive colored glass). Even for just decent quality colored glass, meaning the color doesn’t come off, it is going to be expensive. All those minerals that give glass its color are sought for more than just decorative purposes these days, so cost more.

OMG - a loaf of bread? Oatmeal! You make me laugh in every video! Much love!!!!

I have a counted crossstitch of different hearts in impressions of the seasons …it says “to everything there is a season” .. I have it in my powder room. I can’t bring myself to throw it out, it was too much work!

Hi Garrett, We need more people like you to speak the truth and have realistic approach.. And not follow the trends.. It’s crazy to see how people copy and paste everything that they see.. I know lots of people who just do that 😊

Holiday decor is the only word signs allowed in this home!

I’m so glad I found your channel!

My word sign is in my kitchen it says "kitty biscuits, you need em, we knead em"

My coworker lives in a Victorian home and she turned an old “donuts” sign from an orchard she used to work at into a coat holder just by adding some hooks. It’s a super quirky idea and so her family. I love it

Sign in my bathroom. Complete with ruby slippers. There's no place like home.

The reflection is GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope I bump into you one day. THAT would be ah-may-zing!!!!!

Finally someone who can articulate what I hate about chevron patterns and the like!!!! Seems like they are everywhere!!!! They make me want to throw up. And 2-color patterns are horrible in general. Too cheap to have real artwork! Thank you!!!

Great video, thank you. Where are your dogs? We learned about Albert, dear dear boy. And the bulldog, and the French bulldog? Thanks for news❤

Preach!!!! Amen, Garrett!

Garrett, thank you for keeping it REAL. And you are hilarious btw! 🤩

I have 2 word signs. But they mean a lot. One was a gift from my daughter that says “ Nana & Papa’s House” “Where cousins become best friends” . I’ve watched them since they were babies so that is so so true . My sister gave me another sign that says “My favorite people call me Nana”. I place that one in front of their pictures I display. Those are 2 sayings that “Love” for me. ❤️ I don’t normally like word signs as a general rule. Great video, you always help me!

My dad put a single word sign in their home on the half-bath door: “Necessary Room” I find this funny in an understated way😂

Yesss! I love neutrals but color color color just a touch of it makes everything gorgeous because I am so much more than a loaf of bread! 😂 ❤

I have never hear anything more truthful, accurate or correct..You were so right Garrett 100% 👍🤗🇨🇦

Makes total sense...

Where does one start shopping for a not sad gray couch? I had that problem when we bought our current one, and were in the market again. It needs to go in the room where my kids don't have to be nice to my antiques, but still want that antique vibe with out that antique care.

A very good morning Garrett, Thank you for the cheeky sarcastic vlog, liked it and loved your energy. Honestly before I met you, I did like word things but luckily that was before buying this house, and I was easily convinced why you were against it, so I don’t have any word thingy in this house, neither I had earlier🙃 Good point about the tacky furniture, which goes easily unnoticed when it comes to this metals and the joints. Lol the dorm rugs and furniture, I totally buy it. Autumn has set in here, loving it and this week is the last week of school holidays here. You have a wonderful peaceful day and thankyou for always sharing your cheeky infectious self🥰🤗 See you soon..xx

Hello 👋 I don’t have any signs in my home and I’m not against it but I have seen an over kill of quotes being used in one home where it was in every room and hallway I just kept saying to myself “there must of been a sale on signage that day” great video 😊

Oh lord Garrett would absolutely hate my house! 😂😂😂

Choices! I laughed out loud! Thanks for another great video!

“Keep Calm and Carry on” frame in front of the toilet 😂

My pet peeve is stainless steel appliances in older homes. Don't try to make the house look like something it isn't! If it's old let it keep those details.

Thank you for sharing your helpful design insights, @Garrett LeChic! 🙏🌿💐🌿😊💚😘🌿💐🌿🙏

I was unwittingly succumbing to the sad beige aesthetic in my foyer, so my father gave me a wall display of wood roses...painted red. If you're reading this, thank you, Dad.

Our hairdresser has signs. It's her vibe. No criticism from me. Best hairdresser I've ever had. Not my thing at all. However, I do respect her decorating her home, her way. I decorate my home with family antiques and Traditional Georgian New England style. I live in Connecticut. Love your channel, Garrett. Learn a lot from you. Thanks!

I have 2 signs in my house. One says Coffee before murder and the other sign is on my front door that says no soliciting we are tired of hiding the bodies! lol

Investors are buying beautiful Brooklyn brownstones, completely gutting them, and making them uber modern. It looks so bad, and it's utterly heartbreaking. It offends my soul. Also- I wandered into Restoration Hardware in Chelsea (NYC) and the entire store was bougie expensive beige.

My coffee area has small cats signs, cats needing coffee. The one sign is “wash your paws” it’s a cat with soap on its head. Nothing is “live laugh love”. It’s sarcastic. I’m doing Reno so if they don’t work out who cares. Artwork. I got given an erte art piece. I love it. I might do a new frame.

I totally agree with no signs! Everyone should know where the coffee spot is, no need for a laundry sign over the washer and dryer either. Great video
