    In Shabby Chic’s defense (lol), the designer who coined the term-Rachel Ashwell-has said herself that she avoids faux old pieces that have been painted and intentionally distressed to look worn.
    In her book she says, “To buy a piece that you will have to turn into something shabby is to miss the point, for the appeal of a piece is in its natural aging, not in the false creation of the appearance of age.”
    So the inventor of shabby chic would actually agree with you :)

    Love it. The only point I’d make is that you recommend just going for a real vintage Persian rug instead of a faux vintage rug because they’re easy enough to find…but ignore the fact that real vintage Persian rugs (bigger than a large bath mat) can easily cost literally thousands of dollars (even on Revival).
    Dunno, just struck me as odd. I think the better advice would be “go another design route if you don’t have $$$$ to spend on a real vintage rug,” not “duh, just get a real one”

    There are a few reasons why I could think someone may not want to actually get a real vintage rug.
    1. they want a washable rug that also looks vintage because they have pets kids etc. (the ability to clean something yourself without emptying the bank is valuable to a large family house)
    2. they intend on having it in a indoor outdoor space like a covered patio or something. (Outdoors isn’t really good for natural fabrics)
    3. in art room or something messy where you don’t want to have a real piece of history get ruined by accident.
    4. You’re in a dorm or a rented space or a space that you may not stay in for a long period of time and may not have the ability to take things with you when you leave.

    It's one of the things some of the RUclips interior design commentators do that irks me, is like when Paige says why is the parquet flooring in the bedroom/it doesn't go with the design. Most of us can't change the flooring in any our rentals or homes just because it doesn't go with what we can change for much cheaper like furniture or paint which you can get cheap or bring with you place to place. Most people dont rip up a floor just so the design is better. They just have to live with it.

    the "inauthentic" argument is so dumb because most people can't just up and move their lives to an area that suits their style. if you want a rustic style and can only afford an apartment in the city, then keep your rustic style; there's nothing wrong with the outside of your apartment and immovable features not 100% matching your aesthetic.

    From a psychological and sociological standpoint I wonder what the difference is between people who like boho and people who like mid century modern. I was surprised when you both mentioned your dislike of boho (one of my favorite styles) but then it made more sense when you both agrees on midcentury modern (my least favorite by far). Personally I opt for a transitional style in my home, but I do wonder what the differences in these two style preference personalities are.

      I think there is A LOT overlap.
      MCM are hipster couples with good jobs/money. They live in gentrified neighborhoods and want to distinguish themselves from the masses. MCM lovers more likely to have an art background. There is a "cannon" within mid century... a ladder to climb to obtain the most cherished pieces. They dislike the elite but they are absolutely elitist bc there are like 10 major collectible pieces they shell out healthy 5 figure sums for.
      Lean progressive in politics... but not always.
      Embraced by couples bc the style is amenable to men.
      Rarely blonde... unless bleached, platinum and short.

    • @alleyinn1
      @alleyinn1 7 месяцев назад

      Boho is a more heterogenous group bc its much more accessible and literal. Leans female. Somewhat of a every woman's shabby chic 2.O. More economically, and racially diverse. Boho interesting with a lot of non-white/Anglo design styles (i.e. African, Asian, some South American). Its embraced by renters and owners alike. Boho doesnt require the design credentials but it can be overdone and be cliche.
      Nice girls and invisible girls grown up and glown up. The Urban Outfitters turned Anthro girlies. Also the thrift store girlies. If Taylor Swift were a non celebrity regular person. Yet somehow if Issa Rae were too. Boho ppl like RomComs and banana bread.
      Generally embraced by those who arent on the cutting edge of trends since boho was deemed "over" by the gatekeepers

    I absolutely loved seeing these worlds collide. Caroline and Paige are so talented and so different. To me, Caroline is a philosopher and master storyteller, and Paige is an instinctual visual artist and a master of vibes. Both are phenomenal talents and so very watchable. Thanks to both for the engaging content!

    What a great collab! I found Paige through you when you mentioned her as one of your favorite RUclipsrs on an old video. I really like you both and it was great to see y’all together and hear y’all’s critique and banter. Making her say nice stuff was hilarious since that’s not her style (which is why I love her) and y’all had great chemistry

    New rugs with classic designs on them aren't fake rugs. They are still real rugs. To everyone out there who feels bad about their new rug: if you can use plastic stick and peel to represent antique tile you can have your new rug. And the stick and peel is great. Also, Caroline Winkler has the loveliest touch with advice. I'm new to her and I've subscribed because she has a combination of expertise and gentleness which is very refreshing in the aggressive, hyper-critical world of interior design. She seems to understand how people really live and what their worries can be.
    And finally, Paige's home is beautiful but to me the lounge room has too many colours in it - I don't really understand this room when the other rooms are so understated with their colours. The dark orange rug, the pale lilac sofa, the green chairs with another orangey colour in the wood stain, the strong textured black on black coffee table, the another-orange-colour flowers, the strong yellow of the books, the blue chairs in the background, the beige of the window frame and fireplace, the grey mount in the picture frame. The colours are muted but even all the same tone the effect is kaleidescopic. But maybe it's deliberate? I don't know. The lilac, black and green are beautiful by themselves (I think Japanese style does this colour combo so well, they add the tiniest touch of orange and blue) and maybe those colours don't need the dark orange between them and the fabulous colour of the floorboards. However, perhaps it's the lighting or how my screen has displayed the colours and also it is just my opinion 🙂.

    "If you're going to buy a fake vintage thing just buy the real thing" -- is filed right next to "if you're going to earn $65k a year just earn $650k a year" in the advice cabinet. Are handknotted-in-Istanbul rugs frequently posted on craigslist?!? There's a long history of faking stuff in interiors e.g. "trompe l'oeil" or even Delftware originated as knock-off Chinese porcelain. Pretentions *are* design. How do you use design to achieve an affect. How do you give your boring affordable space some romance and luxury...*because* it doesnt naturally have those things. It needs to be done....by design.

      Naw, used vintage dressers are way cheaper than new ones. Especially comparing vintage/antique solid wood pieces to new solid wood pieces, the used ones are so much cheaper. Depending on the style they are sometimes even free.

    • @skyegroome223
      @skyegroome223 7 месяцев назад +2

      I get what you're saying, but it's honestly cheaper to get vintage pieces of furniture than to buy new fake furniture. The price of fake wood dressers and beds are atrocious. I bought a handful of new pieces when I got my first apartment and quickly decided to stick with secondhand furniture that is made of real wood. WAY cheaper and better quality.

    • @skyegroome223
      @skyegroome223 7 месяцев назад

      ​@tf7602 yep. I got my vanity table for free, and the wood and style are gorgeous on it. The woman said she had intended to paint it but never got around to it and just wanted the table and mirror gone.

      @stephaniefronkkonneker9614 7 месяцев назад +10

      Y'all, she specifically said "fake vintage Persian rug" and real room-sized Persian rugs are more expensive than any car my family has ever owned. There's several hundred dollar priced fake rugs and there are several ten thousand dollar real Persian rugs. They dont exist on the mid-scale. They're just overpriced fakes.

    I’m so happy to hear you supporting a more eclectic “style”, as in not sticking strictly to a theme throughout the home. I moved into a log home 4 yrs ago & despite liking the Lodge Look, I didn’t want my space to appear as if it were a hotel. I’ve collected furnishings that work together but don’t scream ski chalet, & which make me happy. Will they ever work in another style building? Maybe not, but I love them here.

    Can i just note: when you said you can buy a vintige piece for the same price of a particle board piece, thats only true in some parts of the world where those pieces were popular many years ago. It eastern europe the only vintige pieces sold are ones that are imported form the west, cuz the furniture from the past is heavy duty (but still) particle board soviet modular pieces, sooo yeah. Vintage pieces here are not as cheap as new cheap furniture.

    Obviously there are a lot of folks who like this approach this video takes; I prefer critiques that explain the underlying design principals that are in play or that have been ignored. I don't find it very interesting to simply hear whether or not someone likes a space or objects but apparently a lot of folks enjoy that. And yes, I'm aware that in expressing this opinion I'm doing exactly what I'm criticizing.

    At 59 , I am enjoying all your mistakes and props.
    I have survived 4 daughters and chucked pottery barn sofas in the garbage post rotten banana stuffed under cushions and mysterious fly situation. 😂
    Love this as I restore my historic home especially as I recover from the college daughter trashing the beautifully renovated room with squish pillows ? WTF?
    Thank you
