Professional interior designer here, turned WFH part time SAHM. In our old house, the kitchen was bothering me for the longest time, specifically the open shelving you see when you walk into the room. It turns out I just hadn’t committed to a color scheme and was too focused on “using what I had.” I spend about a year thrifting at various places and finally have a consistent scheme and mood, and most of the items are functional.
10:00 keep in mind everybody, you must NOT cover up a thermostat, it needs to be exposed to the surrounding air to sense heating and cooling needs. 😝 😉 ❤
The sponsor add literally made me like this video immediately lol! you know the channel is good when the sponsor adds are good. Love your channel! I think Bombas needs to start buying these ads you're creating for them
Ugh I have a meeting and can’t comment on the actual content till later but I love this video so much. Well done, thoughtful suggestions and you just look like you are having a really good time. Also, I really love how you take everyone’s specific situation into account. I know that’s literally the point of designers is to work with the space as it is but I don’t know you you read the conditions and you work with them you don’t say oh well, you know you can just move the couch later when the kid is not playing like you’re living in the reality of the people who are submitting. I just really love that and I had to mention.❤❤
I’m sorry to hear it. Get yourself a little treat if you can. I was feeling down yesterday and I ate some ice cream right from the container and it helped a little.
Thank you for introducing Molly, she is really talented, you always find the best people. I remember the video where you go apartment hunting, if Molly made one of those soulless apartments look like home, she is a sheer genius.
All I wanna know is the reaction of the Bombas person who had to watch and approve the AD 😂😂😂 Also, I already own Bombastic bombas socks and LOVE THEM!!!
No don’t you DARE with another unreal add for the Bombas!!! I’m so influenced and I can’t even buy them in my frickin country, devastated 😫 Still the best ads ever though ❤❤❤❤
I love videos like this; we all have not-working spaces. I recently started a notebook titled "doinks", inspired by one of your recent videos, to keep notes, idea, and inspo for little projects in my home.
Oh dear your videos give me such a pleasure!! I have been missing your vlogs they felt like short movies that made my day😊 your authenticity makes you so relatable! Keep rocking Caroline!!!!
Ok Now , I have time to respond. Love the socks commercial! 13:55 Or Paint the Wood curtain rod black for budgetary reasons to achieve similar results. 21:25 perhaps instead of a valance you could add a long rectangular or oval art work in between the curtain rod and the window, especially if you like your curtains open most of the time. (I do) 28:00 love love the painting to create a faux molding example.
I really love the style of these videos. I learn so much and i would really enjoy this as a more regular series. With every space being unique, I'm able to gleam your insights and apply them to my space. I've really noticed them help to refine my own eye for design. It's like a mini masterclass each time. Thank you for sharing!
Speaking of not having all flat things on the wall……this lil copycat fan got herself a duster like yours. It’s going on my wall and maybe I’ll use it too! Thanks for the tip! Love your channel, girl! ❤
Great design consults & would have loved more space planning with floor plans looking at through lines for traffic, adjacent rooms to gauge whether small renos could achieve even better results, etc!
Okay, I’ve caved and asked my US friend to send me some Bombas socks (I’m in the UK). And I have a “never buy sponsored products” rule that I have stuck to for YEARS. Are you listening, Bombas? Whatever you are paying her, it’s not enough! And please please please, Caroline, where are those beautiful Mary Janes from?
re: thrifty space, I'd honestly want those curtains to hang higher and wider! and honestly consider if you really want that white stripe around the top of the walls? and re: warmth, that art piece is too small imo, go wider. agree with the other stuff though
Sometimes I think it's picky to care so much about the specifics like the type of laundry basket you're using, but overall the space you live in affects your mood as much as its functionality. It is always worth it to pay attention to your space in ways spoken about in this video. I enjoyed this one. Also, I love the look on your face as Molly is telling us about herself -- amazing example of genuine support.
Just commented on a different video of yours. Secretly wondering if something was wrong and thanking you for a similar set of tips. I wish I had someone like you in my life. Not as a girlfriend because we would probably second guess each other and end up disappointing ourselves and not giving the great tips to each other, but I really like all of the things you see (which I hadn't even thought about, and they make a lot of sense). Pls come bambas-save me any time I'm working on a nerd project and my house is a mess. I'm trying to learn how to engrave. I know Europe is faraway but come on... Thank you!
Recently found your channel, absolutely love 💓 recently moved in with my husband to our first apartment and your videos have helped navigate so much thank you!! Also love your personality always so fun to watch your videos 🙌
Do you have a minimum time of occupancy to invest. Paint etc… in a rental. Just loathing the dark paneling. I have a little over 1 year and four months on lease.
The tree wouldn’t be a great idea (unless you go for a fake plant). There’s no window there!! I also think the chairs are tight in the space and she needs the floor space to pull those out. Big art is much better
The black screen transition from the unhinged (wonderful) sock ad to "So basically we're going to create a gallery wall" was absolute cinema, thank you
What would you do if the bedroom has big windows taking up a lot of the wall space and you have to put your bed against them (bc if you put your bed on the other side of the wall you’d hear too much noise) BUT the windowsills are almost to the ground. I’ve had my mattress on the floor (don’t judge it’s cute!!) but thought about getting a low bed frame. But even the lowest bed frame would put the windowsills lower than my mattress
Really got me with that ad pivot lolol😂
same! super realistic transition, i fell for it. but i wanna know more about the art foot print! haha

Your. Ads. Are. Incredible. 10/10. 1,000/10. Will watch, every time. I'M TALKIN' BOUT SOCKS.
Seriously, all last week I'd catch myself chanting "Bombas! Bombas!" to myself while I was doing stuff. 😂
10:00 keep in mind everybody, you must NOT cover up a thermostat, it needs to be exposed to the surrounding air to sense heating and cooling needs. 😝 😉 ❤
The sponsor add literally made me like this video immediately lol! you know the channel is good when the sponsor adds are good. Love your channel! I think Bombas needs to start buying these ads you're creating for them
Agreed!! 😂😂
The Bombas Ad I didn't know I needed!!!

bruhhh I love this video concept...I think it would be amazing if you made this a reoccurring series
Okay the AD!!! Like what 😮 that may have been the best part of the whole video. Incredible
Is it me or is the socks ad starting to feel mandatory for future videos???
"New Caroline videooo!" - me to my husband
I'm adding fairy doors Aaron's my house. This video is now even more perfect than before! ❤😭
I adore this video format!
having a bad Depression Morning so thank you for dropping this today
I’m sorry to hear it. Get yourself a little treat if you can. I was feeling down yesterday and I ate some ice cream right from the container and it helped a little.

Loved it! The whole thing, and specially your sponsor part of the video ❤

I always skip over sponsor ads except yours. Spot on genius.
That socks dance 😍😍😍
Oh dear your videos give me such a pleasure!! I have been missing your vlogs they felt like short movies that made my day😊 your authenticity makes you so relatable! Keep rocking Caroline!!!!
Can we have a follow up video if they take the advice?!
Ok Now , I have time to respond.
Love the socks commercial!

Your skin is glowing Caroline! and I love your makeup
Molly's suggestions were so good! Really enjoyed both of you in this video :D
Ahhh truly a blessing upon my work afflicted soul. Time to watch on my break!

Caroline: *speaks for 6 minutes non-stop"
Professional Int. Designer: *says two sentences*
Caroline: "alright, that's why you're here!"
I'm dying lmao
Same. I would have loved to hear more from Molly and more space planning vs just design consults.
Speaking of not having all flat things on the wall……this lil copycat fan got herself a duster like yours. It’s going on my wall and maybe I’ll use it too! Thanks for the tip! Love your channel, girl! ❤
That socks ad was PERFECTION
This is so great! I’d love to see the results after people make some changes.
I needed this as we get new registry items coming in. 😅
Great design consults & would have loved more space planning with floor plans looking at through lines for traffic, adjacent rooms to gauge whether small renos could achieve even better results, etc!
love this new bombas ad but i neeeeed the song back
Okay, I’ve caved and asked my US friend to send me some Bombas socks (I’m in the UK). And I have a “never buy sponsored products” rule that I have stuck to for YEARS. Are you listening, Bombas? Whatever you are paying her, it’s not enough!
And please please please, Caroline, where are those beautiful Mary Janes from?
Just the first five minutes made me feel so happy. Gotta get to work but I’ll finish this during lunch!
Caroline, awesome and all but I can seem to figure out why I suddenly feel the need to order some Bombas! LOL Love ya Girl!!! xoxoxoxo
"Make it colorful, have fun, we're all going to die" 🤣😂 umm, yes!
Seriously, you make the best ads on RUclips
If Caroline is an amateur I must be an interior design criminal
You’re a genius! Your socks ad is brilliant, brilliant! I don’t even wear socks, but re-watch you advertise them over and over 😂
I need someone to do this for my living room 😭
re: thrifty space, I'd honestly want those curtains to hang higher and wider! and honestly consider if you really want that white stripe around the top of the walls?
and re: warmth, that art piece is too small imo, go wider. agree with the other stuff though
To say that you are extremely talented in every way, is an understatement!!! ☺️🥰❤
Please do this again, I need to submit something, haha! These are great recommendations.
Okay, I see you sneaky lamp moving around the room
THE CAMERA QUALITY YESSSS get it girl also love how you know your color season and wear colors you slay in
Omg!!! A good OG video❤❤❤
Brilliant segway to Bombas socks! LOL

FINALLY 🎉
I love every second of this. ❤✨️ Thank you! As a woodsie-leaning girlie my entire life, I'm adding fairy doors and shit to my home currently! 😮❤😁
Really wish I had been able to submit a picture of my space, but adhd crazy self could not get it clean enough 😂😂 great video as always!

Thank you!
oh my gosh 😂 I would watch your videos for the sock commercials alone 😂
I love how increasingly unhinged the ads are getting
can you please do more vlogs?? they’re my fav 💋💋
Recently found your channel, absolutely love 💓 recently moved in with my husband to our first apartment and your videos have helped navigate so much thank you!! Also love your personality always so fun to watch your videos 🙌
your videos like this are so worth watching...super great ideas and well- constructed
Socks. SOCKS! Socks!
Do you have a minimum time of occupancy to invest. Paint etc… in a rental. Just loathing the dark paneling. I have a little over 1 year and four months on lease.
The best ad I've ever seen 🤣
My heart when you post💗✨⚡
Came for the design tips; enthralled by the 110% sock ad.
Really enjoyed this type of video!
Where do we submit photos? Ya girl needs help lol
Same! 😊
Gurllll ur ads crack me up. They're giving Portlandia and i luv it❤
The tree wouldn’t be a great idea (unless you go for a fake plant). There’s no window there!! I also think the chairs are tight in the space and she needs the floor space to pull those out.
Big art is much better
The Book 😂 Why do we have brothers and sisters? written in crayon by a 6 yo. From the girl who is literal sibling goals.
The black screen transition from the unhinged (wonderful) sock ad to "So basically we're going to create a gallery wall" was absolute cinema, thank you
Yay! Been checking for a few days for a new video
Can you do a decorating for holidays mistakes video?
ok this is the first sponsor ad that I actually atched from start to finish lol
How many takes did you do to say “what about foot shui?” without laughing? 🤣🤣🤣 omg dying.
great video! love it
Gosh I wish I lived in the US to buy bombas socks hahahaha ❤
'If you're into elf culture..." lol
Omg you and Bombas 😂😂😂😂❤
What would you do if the bedroom has big windows taking up a lot of the wall space and you have to put your bed against them (bc if you put your bed on the other side of the wall you’d hear too much noise) BUT the windowsills are almost to the ground. I’ve had my mattress on the floor (don’t judge it’s cute!!) but thought about getting a low bed frame. But even the lowest bed frame would put the windowsills lower than my mattress
LOL did Paige add the "if you can't say something nice" or was it Caroline?
i'm listening
Beautiful
so fucking weird, i live in Santa Barbara, CA, i always assume nobody's heard of this small beach town. lol
The ad came in unexpectedly like my ex in my dms at 2am.
And it made me laugh the same way, too.
I have a feeling Bombas it's about to try to pull a new VP of marketing.😂
Bombas!
Bombas needs to put you on the payroll as Head of Marketing and pay you a million dollar salary...😁
"Have a blast. We're all gonna die."--Caroline Winkler, 2024
I really hope Bombas appreciated the ad as much as I did!! 😂😂😂
I need to live by Caroline's motto "we're all gonna die"
what. about. foot shui!!!
That tree might be going down with a puppy in the house🤔
Love the photoshopping, my mind's eye-challenged ass thanks you forever for it
8:32
Fun video. But don't cover your thermostat. :)
There is no way to have that bed facing two doors entry plus aircon. Dead fengshui
OMG girl, you're Bombas but is so nutty. And I love you for it.❤
Wait what book are you reading in the ad section 😂
Hey you 😊
Caroline is dominating the entire conversation. I don't know, but I felt bad for her friend…
