    This is possibly my favorite room makeover yet - and it's a particularly meaningful one as I transform my own small bedroom. I'm mixing thrift finds, antiques, peel and stick wallpaper, tiles, and much more -- all renter friendly. This project has been a long time in the making and it was such a gift to be able to design fully for myself. Thanks for coming along on this project, I hope you love it. 🙂
    ❤️ Caroline

    It’s SO refreshing to find an interior RUclipsr who also leans towards the more classic and traditional style. I love a traditional space with more modern and contemporary accents, I find it’s usually the opposite on here (modern with touches of classic/vintage/etc) your space is beautiful!

      Agreed. I have a 1920s bungalow, and when we had our basement redone they came back with a very "suburban builder" style and layout. My husband and I noped that concept and said if we wanted a suburban feel we would have moved to the suburbs. We actually retained the original support beam and will be using it in our pergola design next year! Reduce, reuse, recycle ♻️

    “You don’t have to wait for your forever home…”
    That hit home for me.
    I’m currently living in my 28. home and I’m not done moving.
    However financially I’m stuck here, because I can’t afford to move and I can’t afford to stay.
    I feel like I’m living in a waiting room.
    But what you said - I’m already up and ready to make a home out of my waiting room.
    Thank you ❤️
    And the bedroom is soooo beautiful and personal.

    Caroline, I thought I was a lost cause but the more I look at your videos the more I am inspired to just do something, anything at all that would be an improvement on the constant chaos that surrounds me. I am 58 and have ADHD and it borders on impossible for me to create order and calmness anywhere and I know you will think this is crayzeeee but I am so proud of myself because after four years of living in this house, which I own, I have finally managed to decorate the top of my beautiful, custom made mantle with a small selection (small is a huge achievement for me) of cohesive objects that I love and it looks so cool. I am now inspired to try and find the floor of my bedroom and do something with that bedlam with a bed. Thanks a mill from a grateful subscriber in Ireland 💕💕

    What I mostly loved about this redesign is your approach on art, especially when you talked about the piece your cousin made. Just hearing you talk about what it meant while
    looking at the canvas made me feel so many things. I think where a lot of interior designers miss the mark
    for me is their superficial approach on art as just an accessory that has to “go” with the rest of the decor. I love the “start with the art” approach, where you curate a meaningful and valuable collection (valuable to you, not necessarily in an investment sense) and build your spaces around that.

      My "art" is such a crazy collection of original pieces, prints, found art, post/birthday cards that I liked the image and framed, one of my favorites is the framed telegram and envelope informing my grandparents of my month early birth while they were traveling internationally. 1970 so no interwebs or cell phones. I just want to have pieces that I have an affinity for, it's my space and I want things that are for me.

    As a dental assistant I can tell you: When you're whitening your teeth, you should avoid black coffee until 48 hours after the bleaching - use flourid fluid as post-treatment (it closes the enamel structure and avoid color particles to enter). If you love your coffee as much as the air you breathe (like I do), put a lot of milk in it - it REALLY works and avoids tooth-coloring in a long time term (dunno if this sentence is makes sense - I'm german)! Green tea leaves gray stains, black tea obviously black/brown spots. But 2 days later you should be totally fine. I would try white tea - it's actually pretty nice. by the way: I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. I'm binging them for hours now. 🙌

    I don't like the black fireplace -- it's like a door into some void. Light grey, off-white, even a very light butter yellow would have given it character, tied it into the room, and not given the effect of sucking space into a black hole.

    Love this, Caroline! My favorite (so far) of all your makeovers. And I learned a new styling term -- friction! -- a style I've incorporated for years. I am n.o.t. a fan of matchy-matchy (for myself). Love your gallery corner wall! My gallery wall in the living room is very cohesive and symmetrical -- but, in the powder room, it is very random, and I love them both. (Tip: when your significant other says, "You're going to put *another* hole in the wall??!!?" -- the proper response can be, "Oh, honey, that ship sailed 10 years ago.") Thanks for keeping us informed and inspired and entertained!

I also appreciate how you don't downplay the physical labor and tiny decisions and hiccups along the way. I get intimidated and would watch videos on just how to hang things up on walls correctly, like the nuts and bolts of it - what nails to use, etc. But more seriously, I rent a studio and would be interested in how to upgrade the crusty kitchen and bathroom faucets! Also, I really like your cousin's painting and concept behind it!

    Looks amazing ! Wallpaper on the ceiling makes it cosy. Love seeing the dynamic with your brother. Congrats on sponsorship. I'm a 'sheet snob' since buying good linens for our bed - money well spent and would NEVER consider going back to cheaper stuff !! Your room is now a cosy haven from this crazy world. Hi from Australia 🇦🇺 xx

    So chic! I love the old and new mix. The sparse art and styling. I agree, it reads European pied-a-terre! I think the architecture of those older DC buildings lends itself to this style very well. Miss living out east sometimes!

    The room is really cute. I love the fireplace, the gallery corner and the styling. On a side note, tea will stain your teeth more than coffee but my dentist says it is easier to remove. So having your teeth professionally cleaned twice a year at your dentist will probably be sufficient.

    I can’t tell you how much I love this. More importantly, I love how much YOU love the space you created!
    I have very eclectic taste and have always designed my space accordingly. I like what I like. Things that are special/meaningful to me are special/meaningful to me, I don’t care what classification of design they are from. I freely put together what pleases me. And strangely, it ends up not only pleasing me, but also being pleasing and welcoming to others (after they get over their puzzlement that it “shouldn’t “ be)! 😁

    Wow Caroline, that intro reminded me of what my attitude used to be, toward interiors, everything really, before social media and hgtv, when I made my space and my style beautiful no matter what I had. Thank you for that. I know this video is older but I needed to hear someone say that honestly I’ve been struggling with my apartment for so long. I just forgot what life is really about. Xoxo 😘

    Love, Love, Love, your videos!
    I moved across the country almost a year ago with everything I could fit in my SUV, including my dog. I ended up getting rid of a TON of things and furniture, starting completely fresh. It’s been a slow process finding my style and trying to make my space my own. This video has certainly given me inspiration to try new things and explore decor styles with my apartment.
    Side note: I moved because I needed a change in my life and it hasn’t necessarily been easy - making female friends has been particularly challenging for me. I enjoyed your video on loneliness and your dating journey, and was really able to connect with it. Even though it’s been challenging, I 100% don’t regret it, my new city is my home and I take baby steps everyday, exploring and pushing myself out of my comfort zone.
    Thank you for your inspiration and encouragement.

    Your room looks AMAZING!!! Love so much about it, but I think I love the tiled fireplace the best. I'd probably put wispy white curtains in between the lovely green ones because I hate hate hate anyone staring in but it still lets the light into the room. Love the humour you incorporate into your videos, can tell that's your natural personality. I've subscribed because I love all the great advice and tips you give.

      DC has AMAZING second hand finds, or even free on Buy Nothing/Freecycle. Transient area, people who can afford nice things but also may have to switch apartments, or relocate in a few years and have to divest, upgrade, or their nice things don't work in their new place. Insane, the stuff I've gotten from people just desperate to get it out of their space. Have also been one of those people.

    Very much enjoyed this and your outlook and sense of humour. I'm much, much older than you and live in Canada and don't have high ceilings - but I have learned some things from you and your work that I will incorporate into my home. And isn't that the best part of the internet? The only thing I might have done differently, or at least played around with, is putting the cane-bottomed chair on the opposite side of the fireplace to balance the artwork and make the dried flowers in the window a bit more substantial. Enjoyed meeting your brother. Have subscribed.

    Another to for battered wood comes from a local luthier - use actual walnut meat!! The oils are great for ribbing over scratches! I use one on my harps, which are lighter wood.

I placed a free standing fireplace surround in my bedroom, painted it, created a firebox out of light plywood, then "tiled" with stick on backsplash and finished it off with flameless candles. I love the glow and ambiance it gives to my room!

    Love the William Morris wallpaper. Pink and green is one of my favorite color combos. And I've been using a dresser for a night stand for years- can't give up that extra storage. Also, I might need to look into those tiles as a temporary solution for my kitchen until I can afford a full remodel 🤔

      @amyspooner1782 Год назад

      @@wallihaley5194 it was a number of reasons. We truly love it there but post covid prices soared for real estate...and there is no financing for expats. My kids wanted to have a high school experience in the states too. Having three kids there proved some challenged and extra expenses like school which was just as expensive as our rent. We plan to go back and visit during the holiday breaks. Truly one of the best experiences I've ever had in my life.

I wonder if it looks that way in person? I'm currently living in the most cozy and aesthetically pleasing space I've ever rented in my life, and there's a lot to say for a house with good bones and a pleasing aspect. Your home comes across as having those things.
