One of the things I love about your content, and which differs from other RUclipsrs, is that you don’t solely rely on the base content to build up your video. What I mean is that, you are so entertaining and charming when you talk about whatever the content is, that I don’t want to skip anything because I might miss something hilariously relatable while you’re showing us a vase or a piece of art. So, while I’m interested in learning about the decor, I’m also invested in your personality and unique point of view. Thank you❤
Exactly ❤ Lovely
Omg yes well said❤
100%
this is so wildly sweet. you made my morning, thanks for such kind words ❤
So so true!!
Comments on Caroline's videos sit at a different level, don't they? Have you ever read so many thoughtful, engaging notes that just say "This is good. Really good. This makes me happier than I was before. Don't stop doing this. PS Can I be your friend?" The sincerity and genuine connection is just here in a different way. Can we all be friends?
Absolutely agree about Caroline's videos!
Yeah, it's weird! I want to say, "Let's be friends!" She's fun and fresh and real.
Same!
True!🌿💐🌿😊💚😘🌿💐🌿
Agreed!!
I could listen for hours to you explaining the ways in which you approach home improvement, all the while fumbling with your camera and babbling on about life, decor, and making weird eye contact with our neighbours. You've just got a way of editing that makes your video's so engaging. I don't know how to explain this, but your vlogs feel like you are talking to a friend, like other vloggers who talk with the person filming. But you are able to engage with viewers in that same real way. Quite the skill!
i cant tell you how much i loved reading this. i am always looking for real connection and to hear this from your perspective is so meaningful. thanks for watching, and thanks for taking the time to share these words with me
I one thousand percent agree with this comment, L S!!
You are definitely one of my fave creators. You have such a delightful personality.
oof added all the text overlays at 4am last night so whoever counts the most typos wins. Also for those asking, i did deactivate my instagram -- was struggling a bit and needed some mental restoration. but i will be back :) ❤
Oh dear, do whatever you believe is necessary to take care of yourself. I will be there as soon as you are ready to share something of your life and thoughts again. The most important thing is that you are fine. Any social media is absolutely secondary. As soon as instagram and so on, no longer contribute to your well-being they are definitely the first things to de reduced.
That little Italian interlude was seriously the best.
Did I have a fun time? Why, yes-yes I did!
You have an amazingly quirky, complex, unabashed ‘out there’ personality that is so engaging to watch and enjoy. I love how honest and unafraid you are to just be you. I love how you decorate with unique, thrifted things that bring you joy. I love your unusual blend of colors that all just seem to work together in ways I would have never pictured. You are one of my favorite vloggers and I look forward to viewing each new video you produce.
ah thank you Pam! that is incredibly kind of you to say, i really appreciate it!
Love your content as always! Love your “sense of humor”
I just need you to know that you are KILLING this YouTubing situation. I love Love LOVE your channel, and actually said "YAY" (the actual word!) when I saw you in my notifications today. Your videos are inspiring without being intimidating because, as lovely and knowledgable as you are, you're neither vain nor self-important, and you're as funny as you are bright. Cheers, girl! And thanks for another great video. It's gorgeous in there. Enjoy!
Seasonal decor that must die, I feel that! Also, your catch all plant stand 💯 looks like a Reese’s pb cup wrapper 😄 Always a joy to hang with you lady!
That’s what I thought too! Totally a Reese’s pb cup 😂
I said that EXACT thing out loud to myself...🤣
I knew it reminded me of something. 🤣
I love how much you love your family 🥹 The video where you went to hang out with them bc we’re all going to die someday and then spent some time hyping+appreciating the ways they put beautiful things into the world gave me big feels - and I love how you also bring them into your home as art/decor/places where your eye lands and kindles joy/gratitude. You gotta beautiful heart, Caroline!
🥲they're just good ones
@@Caroline_Winkler I feel so weirdly happy for you because neither me nor anybody around me says that about our parents. :)
Yes! What she said. Also, I love the way you edit, and it overall feels classy. The feel of the videography and graphics/text.
@@Caroline_Winkler rdhyr vv 😅,.,;68 ❤e. C zyizuq
Don’t replace the beautiful sofa, find a beautiful fabric foot stool at the same height, that’s what I did and I am so happy with it! Also gives the option for another visual layer of fabric texture or print, and can be used in another room if ever you moved, or as a coffee table with a tray, or extra seating for guests if needed!
Oooh yes I agree and wanted to mention this. A pouf is a great opportunity for more color or texture, just something else to pull things together (not that you need that, the room is already gorgeous already!)
You should do this seasonally! That way for holidays we as viewers can see how to style rooms for the holidays without being “tacky”
“This is my office when I’ve made too much eye contact w my neighbors “ 😂 never change! Your so helpful
My 4 year old daughter and I are snuggled up watching this over breakfast, so wholesome! ❤
I'm from Germany and had the same Scout Backpack and absolutely loved it! School Backpacks are still pretty much the same here, but maybe a bit less squared! 😂 and of course loved the tour, always so much fun to watch your videos! Love from Germany!
omg yes scout!!! i think i still have mine somewhere, theyre honestly adorable. just...giant
I’m also from Germany and I had the exact same Scout! 😂
Love the video but the part about the backpacks is hilarious. I can relate so much 😀
meanwhile, I wasn't cool enough to have a Scout backpack and was immensely jealous of all the other kids with their backpacks
We definitely had these backpack phases when I went to school in the late 90s/2000s. You started with a Scout, then as an older primary school/Gymnasium kid you updated to a 4You and after that it was Eastpacks or large cross-body bags. I miss my 4You the most, those really were good quality.
As someone with minimal storage space, I love to decorate with store-bought pumpkins. They're inexpensive, biodegradable, brightly colored, and last for-freaking-ever if you don't cut them open. Then, when they're ready to go, I can compost them.
Or throw them out in the woods for the deer and critters!
It's so important to decorate your house with things that you actually like, not trends, not bargains, and this lady nails it!
I love her commentary on trends she hates, like the meaningless wooden beads.
It's super difficult to Not decorate based on bargains/ budget, though.
Ideally, our homes are filled with beautiful pieces which we pick and choose based on our style.
Realistically, it's often more like : a friend gave you something for free and so you build a vibe around that thing that you enjoy.
Interestingly enough, setting immovable parameters are one of the best ways to keep focus and draw inspiration
I was sick at home ALL weekend long. I came across your channel and I binged it like a Netflix series. Thank you for inviting us into your space and sharing pieces of your life. Basically thank you for confirming all of the things I feel about design. I love how you use the word "curate". I love how this v-log shows that great design takes time and trial. I can't tell you the countless times I have moved everything around in my house. I just "eyeball it" too, so there are about a thousand little holes in my walls!!!! Oh well!!!
Caroline, I love your videos. You're so captivating and funny. Even though I'm 46, I wish we were friends. You remind me of myself in my twenties. You're smart and beautiful, inside and out, never doubt that.
I love your design style also. You're such an old soul and it shows in your design style. It's so thoughtful and so much emotion is put into every detail. It's incredibly beautiful and inviting!
Girl keep rockin'!
❤🥲thank you friend! this is so lovely to read and i appreciate it so much!
Just think of your best friend being any age. One of my best friends was 16 years older than me! xo
Age is irrelevant in friendships!
You trying to explain the book is giving me that "Have you ever had a dream that
That you, um, you had, you'll, you would
You could.. " kid and it is absolutely sending me😭😭
Let’s all take a shot whenever Caroline says delightful or delighted or delight.
We love you Caroline!
Your apartment looks like home should feel. But in a upscale, chic, delightful way 😊
Hahahah oh damnn I did not notice this! Wow you are so right tho. I can’t unsee myself now
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Delightful comment
It's an underused word, please don't stop!
Everyone has their go-to words, don't change yours for something less descriptive and potentially actually irritating 😁
I have scratches on my thrifted dining room table and I love them! It means that people used it and loved it. I love your collected style.
this ^^
Absolutely love your living room. RUclipsrs with your style, taste, and authenticity are so hard to come by. So happy I found your channel!
OK but you speaking Italian.... *chef's kiss *.... I need more of it!!!
And then she busts out some casual Italian! Love her. ❤️🧡
This just makes me so damn happy and warm and fuzzie. I never decorate for fall, even though it's the best season there is, because I thought all the decor was lame. "Happy fall y'all" signs and scarecrows are just not my thing..but I could get down with this. I might actually do it now! Lol
hahahh happy fall yall
I just love your style. I call it eclectic. It looks like you moved in with things you already had for years and put it all together....and it works! Very warm and cozy.
Caroline would you be willing to do a whole video on your 5-in-1 bag? What you put in it, the different ways you carry it and demonstrate how it looks as you carry it? I’d love to see the practical use case of the bag!
Your sketches of your family look like something I'd draw WHILE looking at the paper 😄
I can’t be the only one who has told you that you give off such amazing Jessica Day/Zooey Deschanel vibes. Down a rabbit hole of your videos right now and I love them!
True, but I'm also getting some Lorelai Gilmore Vibes as well
Troian bellisario
I showed my 35 year old son your video and he said Zooey Deschanel too
yes!! you are my new favorite person so watch so I am so happy this Sat. morning. obsessed with you and your style as always and wishing I could come over for a drink in that beautiful living room
ahh thanks Katie!
The german school backpacks are called Ranzen or Tornister. They are quite large, because there are no lockers in german schools and kids need to carry their stuff from home to school and back again.
Cherry Blossom swatch is definitely to be framed. It will be absolutely exquisite! You have definitely been a good find on a tough few months. Keep being you quirks and all people love you for you! ❤
Hi Caroline, I found your channel when I was recovering from a hip replacement, you have no idea how your videos got me through my recovery. I would have gone crazy if it wasn’t for binging your channel. I love your apartment so much, and we have very similar style…
I decorate for fall with things I can throw away too, I just don’t care for storing seasonal decor…
I used gold, orange and red for my fall color scheme…
I think your very talented, and your channel along with Paige Wassel and Nick Lewis are the only channels I watch, why look for more when I follow the best.. ❤🍂❤️🍁❤️
Best wishes from Bulgaria :) I freaked out when you said "bulgarian" and then you said you lived in Germany and Italy and it all made sense :D
Your videos remind me of myself. Love your temperament, love the honesty, sarcasm and actually, the kindness, cause I see kindness and tenderness in you, balanced with everything else. Thank you for doing these videos ❤ Watching them is like talking with a friend
I really love your style, it's classic but not boring and it really suits that apartment beautifully. I am a recent subscriber and I have to say that I really enjoy your content. I am always impressed by your candidness and your humor. I have to say that I am really impressed with your vocabulary , many young people have horrible vocabularies and speech patterns. You however display an understanding of words and how to use them. I guess you can tell
that I am quite a bit older than most of your subscribers but I do really enjoy your channel. Your apartment is lovely and I enjoyed seeing your autumn living room tour.
Love the subtle fall accents. What a relief from all the contrived displays that are so overwhelming. And I love the stories behind your art. Thanks for sharing. 🌺
you're so calming and your realistic videos are so comforting. i love watching you!
As always, thank you for being real and authentically you. I love your home and how it connects to all the different aspects of your life and those you love. Fall is my favorite season and I SO wish I wasn't allergic to flowers because the way you used them is so lovely. But alas, I cannot copy that or my eyes will start watering and the sneezing will commence within minutes. But I love the way you have the essence of Fall without a theme loudly announcing its arrival. Nicely done!
Here's what I love about your style, it's not overdone, it's beautiful and welcoming, it looks comfortable. Chef's kiss 💋
I love having your videos playing in the background as I do the housework. It's like having a friend in the house giving me company and talking to me while I work.
You are propably one of the only content creators I actually look forward to watching. You're so organic and honestly relatable. I love your videos so much and get so much inspiration from you not only in design but also in perspectives. 😀
Love how real you are, Caroline 💕
I wouldn't change the mirror above the mantel, I feel the mirror paired with the pictures on either side is perfect! I think the only thing I would change is I would do wrap around banquette bench seating under the dining room windows, with a round table, and two chairs on the living room side of the table. The bench seating could have storage inside of it. For me the rectangle table feels very awkward in the space. I would choose to highlight the bay window. I've started receiving a lot of vintage pieces from family and your videos have helped me feel so much better about choosing to highlight the traditional style of these pieces and not hide them!
I love to start my Saturdays with your videos. Makes me less grouchy in the morning
Yeah Caroline. I just found your channel recently and it has QUICKLY become me favorite. You make me laugh. So thank you for that. Also your content and the way you present it is extremely pleasing to view. ❤️
Love all your treasures. The book your dad made is incredible even better you can browse whenever you want, what memories. Find a pedestal stand to put it on. Also, I love your house it's so comfortable, not perfect, even better. Your the best oh and because we just went through a hurricane so I'm not at work, drinking coffee watching Caroline I'm at home drinking tea at my desk in the sunroom, yeah. You're the best girl and thank you for another video to help lift the spirits and educate as well. Have a great day, see you next week. Oh, and by the way, really like this video.
I just love how real you are!! You say exactly what you're thinking! Your home tour is awesome!
The big picture of swatches you made and hung over the sofa is great.
your subtle fall decor inspires me. How do you manage to have a minimalist home? where do you store for example sentimental items? I would love a video on getting rid of stuff - because I'm so interested in YOUR opinion on this topic. love you byye.
Ahh this is such an interesting question! It’s definitely something I’ve struggled with and experimented with a lot. I’ll think about making a video, thank you for the idea!
are a lot of your photos ans childhood memories at your parents house? do you store extra clothes or anyyhing there? im curious also how you keep
things looking cozy streamlined interesting yet lived in
Yes! My husband and I are the "sentimentalists" of our families and we are now feeling overburdened by things we've kept out of perhaps misplaced nostalgia, guilt, etc. This weekend he announced he was ready to let go his great grandmother's haviland bone china... all 12 place settings. It's beautiful but so delicate, never gets used and takes up a lot of space. We want to figure out how to I'd qhay we really do love and figure out ways to repurpose them in fresh ways...
I got my friends to watch your channel by telling them you do awesome interior design with a Jenna Marbles energy. I hope that reads as a compliment to you, because it's meant as one. Love the tour, and all the pillow colors lol
Yes! I miss Jenna
JENNA!!!! That’s it. I couldn’t place it.
Definite Jenna vibes! ❤
My favorite area is to the left of your fireplace -- the warm wood chest with stencil and the artwork above it. I'm also captivated by the two imperfect bud vases. Your blind portraits are genius.
I never know what to expect from one of your videos and I love that. I was expecting something completely different from this video, but it was perfect in every way. Your design advice has been so helpful to me. I recently starting mixing a few modern pieces in with some sentimental items that belonged to my grandmother, mother, aunts, etc., and it has made such a big difference in the way my house looks. Everything was feeling way too old and dated and I wasn't enjoying any of these things at all and was considering just getting rid of them. Now it seems fresher and more updated around here and I'm starting to see how I can make some of them work. I still have a long way to go, but I just wanted to say thank you for this and all the other advice you offer.
love that pretty, little, wallpaper sample with the orange floral pattern so much!! It would be so beautiful framed like you said or on the walls of a little room!
oh my gosh right ??? its my new crush
Love the autumn vibes and also LOVE your outfit with the hair ribbon and mock neck top. I wish I could pull that off! Your videos are my favorite to watch while I’m pumping- makes a not so fun task something to look forward to. I used to live in Baltimore and my sister still lives in DC so I love seeing little snippets of the city. Keep up the good work!
Love the mix of modern and traditional art! The newly added pieces work really well with what you already had.
I love it! I remember when “we” first found this apartment. It was my favorite from the first time inside. I love how you have made it into such a warm, happy space. Have a great week!!
Caroline, your fall decor is beautiful! And a wall lamp with a wooden shade is rather gorgeous. The whole room is very warm I full of personality. You are so right that ''seasonal decor'' should consist of something that eventually dies. I have also something that comes from something actually dead - like pheasant feathers on a small marble tray.
I've actually been in love with your couch for quite some time now, the deluxe velvet and color combination is *chef's kiss! I purchased my couch at West Elm during an impromptu online sale. It's a performance velvet fabric, which is very forgiving since I spill a lot. After 4 years of owning it, I found out it's a deep seat couch which adds to my upper back pain. If only, we could switch couches "I dream of genie" style.
The "tinkering" is the best. I've lived in a lot of apartments and this is the first one I've really tinkered with and you are the reason for that! Thanks C!
I love your fall decor and your regular decor! I also love the idea of seasonal decor that dies/doesn't need to be stored. Every time I see your dining room area it makes me want to get pink curtains!!
Well we just went through a hell of a storm here in Florida. I’ve been cleaning up all the damage as best I can . I am taking a break to watch your video and to forget about all the other stuff. I always look forward to Saturday and seeing where you have posted a new one….but man I really needed it today…..thank you.
God bless you , so sorry for the upheaval and stress you are dealing with. I moved to Indiana from California and thought yay no more earth quakes 😆 we r actually near a fault line ! Lol. The terror of the tornadoes and helping friends clean up etc. made me make it a habit to tell everybody I love them every single day ! So again God bless all of the beautiful people recovering from the hurricane. ❣️
The pretty bentwood chair would make a nice plant stand 😊
Hey Caroline, I just broke up w my boyfriend yesterday and wanted to let you know i have your vids on this first morning without him and the sense of home that you communicate in your vids as well as the almost virtual friendship you provide is helping and comforting. Thank you. I love to tinker w my place as well and create a sense of home and just feel like we are in the work life grind together.
Man! I LOOOOOVE how you breakdown your thinking behind you design decisions... And especially when you you don't like sth, your reasoning. It really REALLY helps me understand. Xxx
LOVE, as usual, Caroline! Yes…do keep looking for that big mirror. Love how edited and organized you are. It really makes everything “count” and cohere in your space. As someone who is paring down for retirement, your comment about getting only fall things that die made me laugh out loud! Yes, good advise. I cannot count how many glass and felt pumpkins I have…seriously?? Was this necessary? No. No it wasn’t, but when I had kiddos around I felt like really doing up the seasons. In retrospect, it would have been better to just by the dying shit only. lol Keep up the fab work!
Really enjoy your humour and weirdness Caroline and I love your design style. If I didn’t live thousands of kilometres away in Australia I’d employ you to help me decorate my house! (Sgraffito is the name for the scratching of design on pottery.)
You give me this sense of living in the present moment. Like a divine message that is delivered through you to us. Sending much love ❤️
love this. wish i was better at it, but love that the video has that feeling
I like tiny touches of seasonal decor, too, Caroline -- except for Christmas, which is allllll over the house! My sister got onto me one time (that Southern for chastised) for not decorating enough for a particular season/holiday -- I told her my house is not a division of Michael's and that ... was the end ... of that!😂 Love *all* your videos!❤
So many thoughtful tips and tricks! I always learn something useful when watching your videos. I'm totally adopting (stealing?) the family photo book idea. I always feel the love when I look at our pics and having it out and open will make that happen more often. I was thinking "wow, her knee must be doing great" and then you knelt. Oops. Thanks for the tour.
yes exactly!! i felt so sad that it was never being opened, so now i get much better use of it!
Really dig your style. It’s like a mix of traditional, minimal, and cozy. If I were you though, I’d add a tall plant to the corner of the credenza, between the TV and that bay window. Maybe a tall Snake plant because they’re so easy going and sculptural. I love the organic textures and shapes of plants. Especially when they start to arch for window light nearby. It also helps break up all the right angles in a room.
"Hot mess" is used to describe an individual who finds themselves in unfocused or chaotic situations. In some uses, a person described as a hot mess is attractive but just barely keeping it together". I had to look up the wiki definition of 'Hot Mess" And also the term "Bougie/bougee. Because I've never used these terms in conversation until now. So.. even though you can be something of a bougie hot mess. You have saving graces also. Number one, you have an attractive sense of humor and an easy laugh. and secondly, you are able to focus sharply on things when they're important to you. I think that you have good self awareness, so you know what your strengths and weaknesses are. Third, even when you're just hanging out at home, you still look cute. You're aesthetically pleasing. Bonus points for your physical fitness. It's a compact, tight little unit. Which is a good thing. Very good. this is my honest opinion based only on what I see in your videos. And offered because we'll never meet each other in real life. for what it's worth. Good luck with 'street man" Any man would be lucky to have you as a girlfriend.
Good morning Caroline. This is an absolutely superb video - with outstanding production values, as well as being extremely inspiring and motivating, in terms of the content. Your Autumn decorating skills and your sense of design and aesthetics are clearly something to be proud of. You really know how to get it done - but of course that's something to be expected from a strong self sufficient woman such as yourself. Thanks for sharing a tour of your lovely cozy D.C apartment. Have a great Saturday and an excellent weekend. 😉😉🎃🎃🌹🌹
such kind words, Richard - i'm so glad you liked it! i had a lot of fun editing this one and working on production value just as you said. still need to get a lav mic 😑but im so glad the video was enjoyable! thanks for this sweet comment
@@Caroline_Winkler Caroline - You're quite welcome of course. Stay in touch. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 🌹 😉🎃
The peanut butter cup catchall. I've always thought so, and I know everyone has mentioned it already, but it's also kind of perfect for Halloween time! Also, as a mom I feel very called out... my oldest is about your age and all three adult kids bust on me for stuff I had them wear, or hairstyles, etc. It's super endearing, though, and I love it! 😉😊 "I'm quite enamored with" this channel! 💕
oh my god peanut butter catchall!! wow so accurate :)
I love your comment about using pieces and not worrying that they get scratched. I buy lots of thrifted pieces for that reason. I do have new pieces that I obsess over trying to keep them looking new (dining table, china cabinet, bed, and dresser) , so it is a relief to have other pieces that come with "character" so I don't stress if they get a scratch or nick.
such a good tip! buying things pre-loved :)
Your home always looks so nice Caroline! So cozy and calming ❣ Mom and I are sending big hugs to you!!
Love the potted plant centerpiece! I go through a lot of emotions bringing a fresh bouquet home and watching them deteriorate. I’ll avoid looking at the carcasses until it’s very clear I need to throw them out; I feel so guilty and sad. Not a healthy relationship.
Caroline speaking Italian? Love it, love it, love it !!! Barbara from Italy 😃
I so enjoy listening to your observations, random comments and such. You are so interesting.
Love your channel. You’re such a character and I love that you’re just yourself and you’re adorable
I’ve been big into this channel lately and I made an account just to comment: that plant stand catch all tray looks like a Reese’s wrapper. Got excited to see a new video this morning, especially about Fall!
omg cant unsee it now
i think i subconsciously thought that as well
I still REALLY love the BIG original piece of art that you did (behind the sofa) I keep mentally entertaining the idea of trying a similar project, maybe on a smaller scale. I'm so glad that you showed close ups of the art in the 4 matching frames on the left side of the bay window (I was SO curious!) and I LOVE the art in them as well, very cool. Like your Autumn vibe, it's nice. Also, what is a "removed cousin"? 🧡🍂🧡 p.s. LOVE the family photo album and especially love that you have it on display!! 🤗
i think she means a cousin who's "once removed" or "twice removed" etc. - though honestly i still don't understand what that even means, something to do with the generations or the specific way you're related through someone or something?? sorry that's not super helpful haha
@@teetaloo ah, thank you, I bet you are right, see you were helpful! 🤗
I just love listening to you I can’t believe you can talk so much about a what 15x30 room for 20 mins and I stayed interested and you made me giggle. You are adorable 🥰
Love your sentimental end table. I struggle with the first thing my eyes hit walking in my front door is a sliding wood door, a bathroom door or the bathroom (shower/tub). Sigh. But! You’ve inspired me to aim for the other views to be as aesthetically pleasing as they are functional. Thank you!
I can’t understand why people in the US would want a pumpkin/s in their living room, to me it is so weird. I love your videos, you are like a breath of fresh air and so relatable.
I love how non-crowded your decor is. It’s definitely doable and not a punch on your face. If only you could check out my apartment and help me out!
Just got my “Caroline Fix” So glad to see you love the old with the new…traditional and contemporary/modern. I alway liked this combination and this way of decorating. Lately, I’ve been having the uneasy feeling that I was just “old fashion” and was not with it anymore cause of how I decorate….then you came along and wow’d this style…lots of character. I feel like I can continue to decorate with what makes me happy! Yes, a vase from Anthro with potted Flowers makes my world happy….thrifted candlesticks which I’m currently looking for, although have my eye on Anthropology ones I’ve seen!! I’m not the only one who loves a good looking sample of gorgeous wallpaper to frame! So what I’m trying to say is that how I decorate and put my spin on things is validated by you!!! Now I can stop asking people what they think. Always look forward to what your doing next. Question: I know white wall are in & gorgeous, but I did a pretty taupe/beige thruout my home with white. Sounds gross but very warm and cozy feel…it’s a Georgian colonial so keeping with its style…more fireplaces the better. Hopefully it’s not dating me? (here I go again)
A potted plant used for decor is genius, because near the end of the season, when you’re beginning to redecorate, you can take the plant as a hostess gift to a friend’s house. No storage problem, and it doesn’t need to die! This works best if it’s a friend with a patio or yard, so it can go right into the ground after they enjoy it for a couple of weeks inside.
The way you put your long table in that tripartite window area is also genius. I learn a few things every time I watch your videos. Thanks- again!
I did have a fun time Caroline ! Love your comments; thanks for everything!!
Hey Caroline, thanks for this great video. We moved yesterday (hence why i found you since i was looking for design tips) and now i just love your content. Like others say, you are just so relatable and your content is nice. This video is exactly what i needed. I woke up with a headache and no energy so just lazing on the couch, listening to you talk, chill music really made my day just now. It gives me energy to get up again soon and continue this damn clean up and organising that awaits me. Basically...thank you
I started following your channel back when you had about 6k subs and to see how much you've grown is crazy! So proud of you Caroline!
I love the wall art piece. It looks absolutely amazing. Even tho you see some flaws in I think that’s the point. Like it’s HAND MADE, tiny little mistakes no one will notice are what makes it special and real so I absolutely love it!!
I love seeing the things on your mantel change in different videos. You've got me thinking outside the box of what I always have on mine.
I love how far the living room has come since you moved in! Absolutely beautiful and cozy. Love your videos no matter the content! which is not usual for me.
I can’t believe the RUclips algorithms actually offered your channel to me as similar to some other content I watch but I can’t imagine who…your content is so fun and original! Your footage antiquing and marketplace trips inspired me to stop being afraid to create my own home. I love how you constantly tinker in your environment!! 😊❤️
I love how you addressed the 2 1/2 people that have to share there negative comment. Truly great approach. ❤️
Yes! Call out the pillow haters! Love your energy so much.
Yeah, the sweats are back! I've taken some ideas from your dining and living rooms and incorporated them in my living room.Also, I love your mom's garden-it is so peaceful and beautiful. I'm having a hard time with mine but seeing your mom's garden has me inspired to keep at it.It has a loveliness about it just like your mom-and you.
Thank you for sharing! Your design is beautiful and it is even more fun to see your joy exuding out as you share every little detail ❤
Hi Caroline! Love the fall living room tour. Fall colors are my favorite. I agree with you on not making your rooms over done into a " theme". Thanks for sharing.
I am ENAMORED with the painting next to ur tv above the key/plant holder. 😱🤩
