I just gotta say, I would be absolutely heartbroken if you stopped making videos. They bring me immense joy
this is so nice
ME TOO!
Same here🥹
I agree!
everyone is so nice!!
“I’m very particular with everything that enters my home.”
I thought I had a weird undiagnosed mental disorder but there are others! Lol. I have spent hours theory-crafting ways to make my cleaning products look good and they’re not even on display most of the time 😅
I’m so happy to have found your channel. Your aesthetic and POV on interior design is the most (though not always lol) in line with my own.
Yes! But how do you make dishwashing sponges or gloves look good, for example?
@@leonore3349 neutral colors. There are brown sponges.
Me too!! I’m particular down to the last detail. Even my broom had to be beautiful 😂
@@meh5069 Haha tell me about it. I just bought a broom and I almost cried when my options were a neon green and neon pink (with a white handle at least). But then the dust pan is grey to soften it up. Sometimes you can't wait and just need the object, unfortunately. Same with my bucket and mop. And why is nothing made for the kitchen neutral colored?
@@leonore3349 I found the CUTEST broom and dustpan from World Market and I’ve never been more relieved to buy cleaning supplies. 😂
We were poor in the early 90s because we had moved as refugees and left everything behind and only gradually collected more stuff as my parents worked and saved up. So to get us started, my mom's coworkers gave her a bunch of their old stuff for our home. It was amazing mid-century stuff in a mishmash of colors, including one of those old, old televisions that came inside a wooden box/credenza-like thing and would take a few seconds for the picture to come on. Looking back, it's like the chicest thing ever! I have a frame TV now and it just could never reach that level of chic ;)
In Spain we have a wall-mounted drying rack mounted to the wall over the sink (high enough that you don't hit your head when doing dishes... imagine like the hood over an oven), and the rack has a slotted bottom to it so the drips drip into the sink. Pretty good design for space and preventing water from going everywhere.
I was just going to say
I treat designing my home like im a collector. Everything that enters my home was carefully selected
Loved this video idea. If you do a part 2, would love to see cool makeup storage solutions. People typically keep makeup out on a dresser bc you use it every day, but I HATE the acrylic storage containers and would love a stylish and useful solution
Another thing to include could be laundry drying racks
everything that you say has SO much value no matter what “vocabulary” you use. on that note, if you’ve discovered any new youtube accounts that you love (they don’t have to be design related) please share!
Paige Wassel doesn’t miss
Really someone nit-picked your vocabulary? This is what they picked up on? Never noticed myself and would not care compared to the plethora of inspiration and damn uniqueness of vision I come here for. I LOVE your videos and also the way in which you present and edit them... You are a rare wonder of YT interior design. Thank you
I’m so with you on having stylish utility items in the home. I never use sponges, just microfibre cloths, but they fit in an open shelf of the same colour. Dish cloths can be washed hot, so I use a fresh one every day. If they have little holes I darn them, because this particular green is no longer produced. Much more sustainable and probably more hygienic than sponges.
because of you i swapped out my cat's petsmart food bowl and mat for a vintage bowl and vintage scandinavian placemat. she's now the chicest cat ever tyvm
I swear my mom thinks I’m crazy because I’m so particular with everything and anything I buy for my home! Glad I’m not alone in this!
I’ll put sponges on my Christmas list. Let’s see how creative my kids can get
sponges in the stocking
I love your vocabulary ❤
One trick on the shower curtain I discovered that really elevates and adds a more luxe feel is to add two shower curtains for a more full feeling- makes a big difference!
In re: to pet beds - I recently got a little vintage tufted love seat in a rose color for my office and found a matching pet sofa for my two cats. It is completely ridiculous and I love it. I also got a super fancy cat tree made out of real branches with wicker baskets. I'm a big fan of getting things that look good in my house and that serve purposes - so loved this video.
could you please tell me where you got the cat tree? I'm getting two kittens next month and I'm on the hunt!
@@hoppingwren I am also interested in the real wood cat trees, but I got some pretty good ones from Mau cat trees. They look great in my window and the quality good too! My Maine Coon jumps and sleeps on it all the time and it’s no problem. They have a few different styles to choose from
@@hoppingwren Mau cat trees - got mine from etsy!
@@HootieWhox Mine is from Mau as well!
I’m literally painting my bedroom walls that color “chilled wine” from your video reviewing Kate’s apartment right now Thanks for telling what shade and brand it was My favorite color is green so I love it
I like the Chicobag Sling over the Baguu. I live in San Francisco and not only have to carry everything a mile, it’s a mile uphill. It holds an entire grocery bag and the real selling point for me is that it’s crossbody which distributes weight and bulk so much easier. It has a built in stuff sack with a drawstring so you don’t have to try to fold it up like a Baguu. I don’t leave home without it.
Yes, please do more of these types of videos Paige. I have always loved a quirky or cute version of something practical!
Paige I'm so excited for your decorating era. So so so excited. I cannot wait to see your new space! Please take it easy on yourself in this busy time. :)
"Someone commented about how I don't have a good vocabulary... well then I don't know what to say!"
(You're incredibly well reasoned and concise with what you say, don't pay them any mind!)
A wall drying rack is really annoying because every wet dish that you lift up to put on the rack makes water drip down to your elbow..
I really liked the idea of the wall drying rack as someone with a small kitchen. I would really love if you did a video about clever furniture designs that save space in small homes
words are hard & people suck. you’re very relatable, don’t change. keep being ~cool~.
Those drying racks are great, my apartment in Finland had a whole drying cupboard above the sink so I'd just wash things, put them in the rack above the sink, and close the doors! The water just dripped onto the sink. It was amazing for cutting out the whole step of putting wet things away after they have dried.
I did live alone then - wouldn't work for my now 5 person family!
i first encountered this type of drying rack when i stayed in a hotel in italy and i fell in love. if i ever build or renovate my own kitchen i’m totally installing one!
Oh my gosh I so agree about the shower curtains. I nearly started crying when I saw the shower curtain selection in my local homewares store.
Another great option for a bath matt...find a thick towel you really love, buy 2, stack one on top of the other, and sew them together around the perimeter. That's what I did in my bathroom and I love it!
You are my favorite of all time on You Tube and it sounds like I'm not alone in this thought. Thanks for keeping us cool.
Love the idea of cuter pet things. You can always make different washable covers for existing beds out of other fabric. For dog beds (and toys), try to do blue and/or yellow. Dogs are red/green colorblind. :)
Yesss Paige I've been dying for you to make a video like this! Re TVs, due to spatial constraints, my boyfriend and I invested in a high quality projector which we mounted to the ceiling and roll-up projector screen. Not only is it totally out of the way when not in use, but the image quality is so much better and really gives an immersive, theater-like experience. I will never go back to a regular TV!
But then you have a projector and a the thing the screen rolls out of mounted on your ceiling. It's basically a lose-lose situation if you want to be entertained and have your space look nice haha.
I did the same! Can’t stand seeing rooms with TVs now. I love that I can go unnoticed. And you win space where a black TV would’ve been. Will probably never own a Tv again.
can you share the ones you bought? im in the market ! ty
@@morgan3llis001 we bought a used Sony vpl-hw55es for a good price (they can definitely be quite spendy new). My boyfriend’s opinion is that the 45, 50, 55, 60, and 65 are all quite similar, and the fancier versions just have more gimmicky features.
@@striketochill it’s all a matter of preference I suppose! I find that having them on the ceiling creates less visual clutter in my space, but that’s just me :)
Just found your channel recently through Ariel Bissett & I spent the past couple of days binge-watching lol I really enjoy listening to your thoughts on interior design, they are so refreshing and funny while also being insightful. (Personally I think you do a great job giving your opinions on stuff you like and don't like without being offensive, although I gather from some of your responses that people got offended nonetheless.😅) Thanks for making such fun content, and really looking forward to videos on your LA home!
You can make a shower curtain from a twin bed flat sheet. Pick which end you want on top and either put button holes or with metal grommets so that you can then hang you new shower curtain.
wouldn't it mold more quickly?
@@ArtichokeHunter You will still need a vinyl liner inside the tub and/or shower stall. It can be washed in a mild bleach solution if it starts to mold.
I can picture a cute striped or plaid sheet being just the ticket. A little spray starch would give the fabric more body if the sheet feels a little flimsy.
I love elevated dog beds. There are tons of wood with cloth options. If you can sew, you can make one using nice fabrics.
When I first moved into my new apartment alone without a roommate I was so excited I spent 12 straight hours looking at every single shower curtain on the entire Internet. The sun went down and the sun came back up and I finally picked one I had seen maybe 2 hours into my insane online shower curtain fixation but I had to be sure for those last 10 hours I wasn’t missing another better one 😂😵💫 loving interior design is a sickness and I’m so glad I have it 😅
I have been down this black hole too. At one point it seemed like I had truly come to the end of the internet lol. There is a huge gap in the shower curtain market that is ripe for some small business to fill. If I knew anything about manufacturing textiles I would start one myself lol.
@@striketochill very true! I wish I had thought to make my own like Paige mentioned! Thankfully I'm happy with the one I got but I'll always have some part of my brain looking at fabrics in my peripheral vision, contemplating making one or getting a new one. It's truly the one thing that sets the whole tone of a bathroom!
Feeling this. I still haven’t found a shower curtain I like to date…
Yes! I bought that Zara trash can last month and I was a little embarrassed to have spent 130 bucks on a trash can but I’m happy to hear it’s wassle approved.
In my house we drape a cool piece of fabric over our tv ( saving to make a cabinet for it ) but I think it looks prettty cool! And covers the ominous black rectangle.. 😊
Is it a standard size can, like 12 or 13 gallon?
@@goosegirl941 it’s a little smaller. 30 L which is about 8 gallons. It’s been working really well for me! The simple human can liners in size H are a great fit for it too.
Trash bins are outrageously expensive. Don't feel too bad. 😅
Nice video as usual Paige! My mom had the stainless steal wall drying racks and she only gave it away very recently so I have seen those wall drying racks all my life back in India.. Its pretty common to find those stainless steel in almost every household in India & you're right that it works well in small spaces but my mom used it in our big kitchen as well.
Wow the quintessential dude aluminum sports team trash can 😂 My husband had a NY Rangers one when we first started dating in 2005. They are eternal.
For custom shower curtains you can also use these inexpensive websites that make products out of your photos but instead of family pics/ pics of your dog (lol) you can use any aesthetic photo, I’m planning to do vintage ikebana arrangements
We just bought a shower curtain from Quiet Town Home and I LOVE it! I love having a clear shower curtain and I love how colorful they are.
Also- this is the video I’ve been waiting for and didn’t even realize it. We just moved and we’re starting over from scratch and I just want EVERYTHING to look pretty and feel loved and thoughtfully chosen. Thanks for sharing this, it’s so nice not being the only one!
I found this vintage dish scrubber called a 'Sudsy Sue' at goodwill for like 50 cents and it brings me so much joy when I do the dishes (aka 3 times a day most days😶🌫). It is very cute, and it has lasted for 5 years now. Cannot say the same about the 'eco friendly' bamboo brush I bought at my coop for about $20 🙄
Great Video. Always happy when I see your content pop up in feed. I am weird about laundry baskets. It’s got to look good in my space. Also, the trash can, I have used over sized medal plant pots in bathroom. I hide my trash can in kitchen under the sink.
I'm exactly the same!!! I'm so fussy with every single item that enters my life and every single thing has to look "cool". I was nodding along the video and actually realised I own a lot of those items you recommended. The TV you mentioned is the Samsung The Serif and it was on top of my list when I got a Tv recently. I ended up not getting it because I couldn't justify the price to myself but I have been obsessed with it for years. I ended up getting a decent looking normal TV and mounting it on an TV easel which ended up looking super cool. For anyone out there with the same TV drama of not wanting it to be an eye sore, it's an affordable alternative, plus it makes it easy to move the TV from one room to the other, if you wish to do so.
I ended up getting a slide out bin from IKEA which I installed in a kitchen cupboard. I really like it because I don’t have a bin taking up floor space and I also don’t have to see it. I just have a big box at the bottom of my pantry for recycling - it’s nice and big so I only have to take out the recycling when it’s full 😊
I would love to hear your tips on organizing cords/making them look less ugly! With a permanent cord like a tv or a lamp it’s easy to tuck it away or cover it, but i feel like I’m always moving my laptop and phone chargers around the house and they’re such an eyesore-especially the long laptop charger with that block in the middle! Any tips for making technology fit with the design of your space?
This will not make them invisible, but Iko Iko does these tulle covers that are almost sculptural.
lol Paige, I laughed when you were like..."if your partner has bad taste but still wants to decorate your shared home, throw them a bone! They can choose the trash can!" 😅 no but seriously those were kinda cool 👍
all i want this christmas is for you to create a discord or a slack group for hanging out and talking interiors, this is one of the few channels where i feel there is a true sense of community
Oooh, my Mr scrubby scrub daddy is sooo happy to hear he can come up from the dark depths on the lower cabinet! 🤩🤣🤣☺️
This is my type of video … I spend an embarrassing amount of time scouring the internet for the prettiest or coolest general things for my space. I like everything I interact with to be fun. 🙃💕✨
Me every Sunday like clockwork absolutely love watching your videos! Happy Sunday 😊
This is exactly what I needed right now. I love the honesty of your picks. Nothing has to pretend that it’s something it’s not because there is beauty in what we use the function.
i love the wholesome normal vibes u give off u feel so like a home decor tv show i watch in bubble bath i loveeee ur vids thank you xxx
You are easily my favourite content creator. Cheesy, but from watching your videos, I've really put more effort into figuring out what *my* style is... and I'm starting to really love my place as a result. It's very COOL! So, thank you.
I have the weird Samsung TV and it is absolutely wonderful. You just can't get around TVs being an obtrusive feature of your home. The Samsung Frame option is great but I think it's a bit too on-the-nose in trying to conceal a TV, whereas the Serif makes it a funky sculptural "piece" (lol) that is very pleasing to the eye. I also think placing a regular TV on a vintage, paint-splattered art easel is a good option too!
I used thinner ikea curtains as my shower curtains and hung them up real high! Second shower rod with the liner. Works really well!
"If you think I have a bad vocabulary, then I don't know what to tell ya" 🤣 it's perfect
My trash can is bright pink and people always say something about it when they come over. I love it.
MY GOD ♥️ i just moved into my first no roommate apartment with my boyfriend and this video puts into words EVERYTHING i have been feeling and thinking. I literally gasped about the wall drying rack. Thank you
We moved into a new home 5 months ago and so many little eyesores keep popping up. You literally said what was in my brain about sponges, drying racks, baskets, and trash cans. That Zara one!! I’m still looking for a stainless steel dish scrub with a handle that looks cool, but dang, all these suggestions have got me stoked and on a roll.
The tv is legit. Everyone has the frame one and the other takes the good elements of vintage tvs but in a modern way. Obsessed.
Agreed, shower curtains are so hard. I might pick up a colorful vinyl one myself since fabric ones tend to feel stuffy to me and too much of a contrast from my heavily tiled 20s bathroom. Also, damn to the haters, just stop watching if you're looking for more "elevated" content? Listen to the snooze worthy KW masterclass on repeat, or hey start a channel of your own. Be the change you wish to see. Anyway, excited for the decorating content!
I have learned so much since I started watching your videos. I'm at the moment in the process of moving to a farm and building a barn and a house from scratch. I'll show it to you once it's ready :)
this is fantastic, Paige! I love the mounted dish rack idea...definitely looking into that.
every video you put out feels so perfectly catered to me, obsessed with this channel!!
This is the only RUclips channel i watch consistently. Too good
I really appreciate how you keep it real and stay organic to your true self! You are my new favorite bc I, too, have recently bought a new home, and it is fun to go along that journey with you. Cheers!
at my parents we never had a bath mat itself but rather a couple thick towels that we use as bath mats and keep them in the lowest shelf when not in use
my take on bathroom trashcans - please please please get a trashcan with a lid. It always weirds me out when people have an open trash bin in the bathroom since all sorts of things go in it 😳 on an unrelated note - I can't remember where I heard this quote but it has always stuck with me and I think it resonates with this video: "Your home is the movie set for the story that is your life"
I have a wicker laundry basket with handles. It’s stylish and adds a warm element. But I live in a house so it’s not an inconvenience for me, and it hides the laundry so well!
Rewatching cause this is such a bop
How rude of that person to comment on your vocabulary. That person has issues. Pay no attention to them. I watch your videos for the content, not an English lesson.
'Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful' William Morris. This is a quote I live by and I was chuffed to see my kitchen bin in your video, it's the little things. I find TKMaxx and H&M Home here in the UK to be a good place to find lovely things at reasonable prices.
I didn't realise those wall racks were drying racks. I thought they were just stylish storage. They wouldn't work in my kitchen but they are very attractive.
Don't worry about upload schedules. This is a busy time of year and you have a lot going on. We'll be here whenever you do post 😊
Something I like about your design sense it that you seem to like “cinematic” items. Items that photograph well and add interest but aren’t necessarily what my mom would call stylish. These practical items add flare and design by being useful and beautiful in a more industrial sense.
Im much older than you and have to say that those laundry bags on wheels are amazing b/c you don't have to bend down as far to pick-up the laundry. My wheeled one has the bag at about 2 feet off the ground.... love it.
Hi Page, I can finally add something to your video. In my house, instead of buying bath mats we use table mats/place mats. You can find much cuter ones, they are already waterproof and usually come in a set so you can replace them when washing or get damaged. However they tend to be small so it's just the size of the feet.
Love your content!!
“Follow in Emma chamberlains steps”
* *literally* * 😂
lol
wow I'm randomly watching this a year later and hearing you say "I'm going to make a shower curtain when I get to LA" is crazy because you just showed us some fabric options in one of your last videos :') that follow through thoooooo
I'm not here to extend my vocabulary. Your ideas are clearly communicated and I enjoy what you have to say about design. Those people are pedantically looking to criticise.
I looked for a shower curtain for SO long and finally found one I love, it’s a peach checkerboard pattern from urban outfitters! I would also recommend target and society6
Look forward to seeing the custom shower curtain and your finished bathroom! 🛀🏼 I looked everywhere to find a curtain that goes well w/ the tile in a guest bathroom.
I need to see your new apartment!!! And how you're going to decorate it because I love your style so much.
Here in switzerland, mostly, kitchen trash bins are included in a big drawer. So you never see them. I think that's quite useful and pretty :)
I am so excited you posted this. I was literally laying in bed the other night thinking I need to ask you to make a video on better options for everyday items that add some style, and here it is!!
babe wake up new paige wassel vid just dropped
I just got my first hoop earrings because you inspired me.
I agree on only purchasing cool/functional/interesting things for the home. Even my broom and dustpan are darling!
idk how you do it paige but you have impeccable taste and thank you for blessing us with your videos
I love this video so much. I wish it were triple the length! Make more like this. Just make more videos please, because I am delighted by your vocabulary and your style!
Hi Paige--Also live in and love Chicago. Just discovered your channel and think you're the best. Have been despairing about where to find real fabric here and was so happy that you talked about the fabric outlet in Pilsen. I went right over and besides seeing a fun new neighborhood, was reassured that there were other options in this big city than the craft stores. Laughed seeing this video because I too am picky about every little thing in my place down to the trash cans, laundry bin and step stool (am on about my 5th one) and also love my yellow sponge daddy with it's big goofy smile. Thanks!
For those of you looking for a nice trash can I looooove the brand Brabantia! Also love your videos Paige ❤️❤️
Just bought the green step stool - love it and thank you!
Paige, I was born ready for your decorating new apartment content, YES PLEASE
For laundry baskets, I don't use one. I just have a bin I put under the bed. Kitchen sponges give me the ick so I use a dish towel (best for getting grease and oil off) and a scrub brush.
Suggestion: Making custom shower curtains for purchase on WAS! Random, but would love to see you style a Christmas tree!
I am stoked for you to make some home design content 🙌🙌 can’t wait to see the new place
missoni bath mats rock! I love the sun shower curtains from Quiet Town
GIRL! I've also been lobbying for the Serif TV (based just on style, no idea how good it is as a TV). I feel so validated.
Who the frick comments on your vocab?
Thanks for being YOU, Paige on YOUR channel. Honestly the fact that your style and your comments is what makes people subscribe and stay.
Thank you for including the dog beds. 😘
those wall drying racks are common in Europe! they need to be above your sink (often hidden behind a cupboard door just like the rest of the kitchen storage) :)
I got a wall drying rack and a small rack to hang my pots and everyone who visits comments on how much they love it! Some of the best buys in my home
I inherited a few tea towels from Grandma. But in the early 2000s I bought tea towels, pot holders, and dish cloths from the Thomas O’Brien line at Target. They are 100% cotton and made in Turkey. In all these years no holes or tears. 🎯
I like a mid size to smaller size TV on an old industrial trolley.
