I’ve watched an embarrassing amount of DIY vids since buying our 1974 ranch house in May & I eat-sleep-dream this stuff right now. You are, by far, the most real & entertaining- and talented! - I’ve found, so Thank you! You’ve gained a subscriber & I subscribe to nearly nothing in life. Looking forward to your next project.😊 And btw? You can change the entire look of that sad floor by painting just the grout with primer. And you don’t even have to clean it first. I’d go with pale grey but you’re talented enough to get creative with color & it’d probably look designer when finished! 🤩
Grout paint helped me make my ugly shower tiles area look better. The grout was stained even though I cleaned with all kinds of cleaners even the industrial grout cleaner. Made it look new!
Dear Caroline Hi 👋 Was looking for some interior tips. And came across your older videos. Lady you have come so far & grown so gracefully looking back at this to now where you are! It’s a blessing literally a blessing where you are now! I feel In everything inside out! 💕 Not everyone get this chance of growth & freedom to keep energy flowing with least compromise. You deserved better & you got better! Keep prospering stay blessed. Best wishes 🥰✨💐xx
Very creative ideas; love the new look! I am so happy that you didn't paint that gorgeous antique buffet ($100?!?!). I like the "backsplash." The bleed-through of the paint into the stripes gives it texture and keeps it from looking too perfect. Marty is an adorable helper and that painting that your little sister did of him is so wonderful! ❤
Um hi why am I just now finding you??? I can’t believe you don’t have more subscribers. I love a lot of the popular youtube DIYers but I’m getting bored of them painting everything white and black. This came out sooooo amazing, I especially love what you did with the stripey backsplash area!!! Your ideas are so original, creative, and look good!! Keep up the amazing work I can’t wait to see what other projects you take on ☺️
You’re too sweet to say that Natalie 🥰I always try to be original, or else I just bore myself 😬thanks for the encouragement! Taking a short hiatus for a personal matter right now, but will be back with more content shortly ❤️
You make everything beautiful in a lasting way. It's making me more conscious of my own choices now. I have been binge-watching your videos for the past week. Thank you for sharing yourself with the world.
Looks amazing!!! I had the same floors in my bathroom. I simply took some latex paint, slightly lighter than ,y tiles, and a small paintbrush, and painted the grout lines. Super cheap, and the floor looks clean now! Those dark grout lines always make you think the floor is dirty. You can take about a 1/4 cup of your wall paint as is, or just add the tiniest drop of brown to tone down the white, and there you go!
@@ah5721 I painted my grout 9 years ago, and it hasn’t come up. Don’t forget, when you “paint” the grout lines, you aren’t using a ton of paint, you are basically staining the grout. The paint soaks into the grout, but leaves colour. It’s not like you are putting heavy coats of paint like on a wall. Try it, it works.
I love the knobs you chose for the kitchen cabinets. The entire kitchen turned out great! If I were to choose a desk, it would need to be pretty, compact with lots of storage. Good luck! I’m sure you will be able to come up with the perfect desk. 💗
Any ideas for ugly dark bamboo cabinets in a rental with almost not light!? I’m so tempted to paint them myself gahhhh! It’s a brand new apartment, why did they do thissssss!!! 5 years ago I would’ve loved to do all this, now I’m just a lazy school bus driver in my 30’s. It’s going to be very eventful, the day I decide to dive back into diy. Your chA-nnel is inspiring and motivating however so maybe sooner than I thought. Thank you for sharing your skills and imagination with the world!!!
Loved the way you treated the Dresser. It really added something to the bland kitchen and so much storage!!! The entire kitchen turned out rather well. I am not a fan of stick on for the counter but must admit it did elevate the kitchen.
The first video i watched of yours was the Lazy Girl Kitchen Makeover. I am a lazy, instant gratification DIYer, so Lazy Girl is what caught my eye! So now im a subscriber! I probably wouldn't have guessed it, but you're mighty handy with the power tools😉 ! I'm a DIY binge watcher so i try to watch several every day. You're very inspiring and talented and well, just plain funny! I laughed SO HARD when you showed us your body suit!😂😂😂😂. Hey, can you do a video using peel and stick wallpaper? I've been wanting to try it out. Thanks, Caroline, for the awesome decorating tips, inspiration and of course the laughs! We all need to laugh more! A fan in Texas.
I just discovered your channel today, and I've been binge watching. I'm a little obsessed with you channel because you're doing things that maybe I could sort of do, too (as long as I don't do the stuff that involves saws of an type! Drills, screwdrivers, hammers, levels, etc I can handle, but NO SAWS! I need my fingers too much. I love this makeover...especially the view you see when you first walk in. Wow!!
I love your personality and would watch you paint your nails a different color each day while you talk. You crack me up with your wit and humor. Have enjoyed binge watching your channel. Thanks for entertaining us.
Great job. Hard to decide how much to change when you're not sure how long you're staying. But it seems like I always stay longer than I planned! As soon as I move, I'm starting renovations haha
You really make me smile with your commentary. Thanks for not making us watch all the painting! Why do other RUclipsrs do that? Anyway, the shelves are amazing and that gold and black light is fantastic! Would never have thought of this and now I can't wait to try it!
this looks amazing!!! i wouldve kept the original stain on vintage stuff though, i just looks sooo rich and has so much history literally ingrained in it, but great rehab of the piece!!
I've been trying to find a little "bar" solution off the floor in my small apartment, and that kitchen door situation is the answer, I adore the wooden detail you've carried around the frame, it makes it pop like nothing i've ever seen.... love, love, love.
I love it!!! Maybe you can get more 'pull knobs' for your dresser so it matches the kitchen. Don't be inspired by Studio McGee, be inspired by YOURSELF!! You are inspiring!!! You can do just as good if not better!
I'm so so so excited to have found you! I love your aesthetic & get into it attitude plus your finishes are superb!! French provincial modern? The wood always around for frame A+ & dodgy lampshades are freaking clever!!! Imma binging on you & I don't even care that my hubby is like "uh... Oh 😣" fun diy reno time here we come!!!
Hahahah YES!!! I’m so glad you liked it!! I always love experimenting with new styles and finishes. Doing the same thing feels boring right?? More to come soon! Thanks for watching 😘😘
So many great and unique tips. I also got hooked on decor and DIY stuff during COVID, as well as comedy, you do a nice job of combining them! And I appreciate the renter-friendly tips which are also helpful for people like me who have smaller homes.
OH my word. I gotta tell ya. I own my house but I'm house poor and can't do one thing on it. Thanks for giving me some hope for this old ranch house. I have the worst countertops ever and made the mistake of painting them - NEVER do that. Just don't. I may try your idea with the contact paper. I don't think I could make it any worse. I do have open shelving - my cabinets are black, which I do like (to each their own, first thing I did when I moved here). I have that same ugly tile you have in my dining room. I feel your pain. I just found your channel today and it's like a GIFT at Christmas!
You are so talented! Really love everything!! May I invite you to come to Florida for a week or so and make my home your designer's dream? I am so not creative or handy. You just inspired me to learn about refinish furniture. Maybe I could do it?? You make it look easy. Keep doing you and Happy New Year!!
Fabulous 👌 ....you have an excellent taste. I'm so sick of the flippin' farm house wordy black and white nightmare. I love just about everything you put together (wasn't feelin' the mustard window treatment in the bedroom BUT... I'm a decorating disaster 🙃 so rock on my sister). Love your style.
Just found your channel and I love the makeovers and your humor. I have a tip for painting, so when using painters tape if you paint using the previous color then once that dries, going over with your new color it helps prevent bleeds! I look forward to more makeovers!!
DIY desk would need to be versatile in style but also enough space for laptop, notebook, elbows and my head sleeping on it! Also at least one drawer would be helpful.

HOLLY. Are you kidding me? One of the kindest comments I've ever received. thank you for taking the time to share that, it truly made me feel great
I was looking for your channel Holly, great suggestion..

That door-feature is amazing! I haven't seen anyone else solve the boring-and-off-center issue so neatly and aesthetically! Beautiful!
Thank you 🥰🥰I think it was my favorite part of this makeover. And so fun to try something new!

Dear Caroline
Hi 👋
Was looking for some interior tips. And came across your older videos. Lady you have come so far & grown so gracefully looking back at this to now where you are!
It’s a blessing literally a blessing where you are now! I feel In everything inside out! 💕
Not everyone get this chance of growth & freedom to keep energy flowing with least compromise.
You deserved better & you got better!
Keep prospering stay blessed.

You are refreshing! Thank you for sparing us video of you painting. LOL
Thanks for all the Marty cameos! I love the buffet placement and the clock!
Marty is OBSESSED with the lime light 🤷♀️
I love having seen all your recent stuff 1st and now watching all these, prequels. It fills in so many questions!
Holy hell yes, I refuse to live without that simplehuman trash can. Every time I open it I’m reminded, maybe money CAN buy you happiness.
Hahahaha JUNE GETS IT
Love the kitchen now , especially the backsplash
You make everything beautiful in a lasting way. It's making me more conscious of my own choices now. I have been binge-watching your videos for the past week. Thank you for sharing yourself with the world.
Your creativity is soooo inspring Caroline! And LOVE that you explain the design logic/tricks behind your choices. So helpful. Looks great!

You can take about a 1/4 cup of your wall paint as is, or just add the tiniest drop of brown to tone down the white, and there you go!
I would get paint specifically for grout or It'll come up faster . Latex is not made to stick to concrete which grout is.

You've added so much value to their homes. You leave it better than you found it. I hope they appreciate it!

Oo those are great desk tips! I think that's inline with a lot of my own personal desk dreams. Thanks for watching and sharing Terry! love you!
You are very accomplished - beautiful, tasteful, imaginative, love it.
Where can we send our design dilemmas for Caroline to review 🤗 so exciting i cant stop watching her vids 😂 ❤

I like the imperfect stripes. It reminds me of birch trees without being obvious trees. Also, that lamp is ridiculously way better.
Nice result. The doorway was very clever and the wood worked well.
Aw thanks Michelle!! What would you like to see in a future video? Lmk!

I love the paint on the backsplash. great idea.
Aw Shelley I’m so glad!! Thank you!

Wow Lisa that makes me feel so good, thank you! I can't even IMAGINE having my own home to decorate, but oh man would that be fun
The back splash and door frame: genius
You are soooo fun!!! I love Marty and all the fun makeovers
Thanks Mary 🥰🥰🥰we have so much fun making them
this looks amazing!!! i wouldve kept the original stain on vintage stuff though, i just looks sooo rich and has so much history literally ingrained in it, but great rehab of the piece!!
The vertical stripes also make the units look taller and slimmer. Way to go!

That was awesome. Respect!
Real cute!
The buffet was beautiful when you finished!
Paint your floor grout. It's a must.
Great job! Unbelievable. Looks great.
The size and function are the most important if I were to DIY a desk.
That doorway creation was giving me MCM vibes. Genius! And hilarious as usual. :)
I imagine you miss that beautiful Marty boy. I'm sorry.
Beautiful.
That buffet really did it! ❤
So talented!
love love love!!! Brava😍
Whoa, I love this makeover! Great ideas!
This filled me with serotonin
Looks so so so good
The knobs and the paint feature! Love love love!
Beautiful transformation
