I just have to say, it is so nice that Leen is a part of this makeover since it’s her house. So many RU-vid makeovers don’t include the people who are going to actually live there. So many RU-vidrs remake a another persons home in their own style without including that person in the decisions. It seems like often they will re-make a space in their own style and not necessarily in the style of the person who is going to live there.I really appreciate that when you have done makeovers you’ve included the people who are going to actually live there.

@vaderladyl Год назад

I don't appreciate those pushy pseudo decorators here on YT that always pressure people into decorating with what they personally like and not consider what their customer really wants and even low key mock the customer's preferences just because they don't personally care for their customer's style. A respectable professional always needs to respect the customer's tastes and work to please them and guide them, even through their more dubious choices' process, even if it is not their personal style.

@Caro2Late Год назад

Yeah I liked that too. I think that Leen is a friend of Caroline and didn't mind being a part of this video. Perhaps a lot of youtube-creators/redecoraters aren't so lucky to find people who are willing to help and be part of it? But that's just me guessing.

@camilleshaner2503 2 года назад

The kerf tip is the type of detail I don’t see much of in other videos. And definitely something I would have messed up on!

@Caroline_Winkler 2 года назад

Aw i love to hear that Camille. I love learning those little tidbits myself :)

@mayak4984 2 года назад

LOVED IT ! I honestly need more design like this, everyone else is doing the same thing over again! So refreshing !

@Caroline_Winkler 2 года назад

ah i love that!

@botsmh5990 Год назад

A few recommendations for another way to create a level line with peel and stick wallpaper: - if the wallpaper pattern does not require a vertical/portrait orientation (as the leaves and lemons seemed to be in many angles, with no strict 'upright' direction, this one did not seem to matter if it were rotated), instead apply it horizontal/landscape so the manufacturer edge becomes the level. Using a tape edge guide or pencil marks to help apply the now top edge straight. Ultimately, you end up only cutting the wallpaper at baseboards and windows, where you'd trim anyway. - measure the desired height and mark where to cut on the back of the wallpaper. Use a T-square to draw a straight cut line, then follow the line either with good scissors (that don't warp the cut edge like some dull or craft scissors do), or on a cutting mat with an x-acto knife and the T-square as a cut guide. - hide a wonky cut with trim, which can be wood, a separate wallpaper border, or even a craft, fabric or upholstery notion, such as cord or tassel fringe. Perhaps you'll see this (if you do) in time to save headaches for the next wallpaper project. Good luck!

It’s called “railroading” when you hang wallpaper horizontally.

@nancytsai4724 2 года назад

Okay, I've gone down a DIY rabbit hole on RU-vid but I have to say, your style and approach is what agrees with me the most. I love everything you do! Also, love that you do stuff that's not only budget friendly but suitable for rental spaces. TYSM! Keep the awesome content coming!

@ArethDaniels Год назад

Me too to all of this

@sherrydickie8459 4 месяца назад

Oh Caroline! I'm an old grandma (66) and i have to say, you are the total package! I love your videos! Along with affordable (i hate the term budget friendly) decorating ideas, using what you already have, thrifting and doing dangerous electrical wiring, you ALWAYS make me laugh! This time it was when you said you were having some kind of stroke! I realize strokes are no laughing matter, but in your context it was hilarious! ❤ from Texas

@kmiutza Год назад

Omg, you two cracked me up when you switched up the light 😂

The whole sconce/votive moment was absolute gold. You're SO FUN TO WATCH! Honestly, I feel like we're having a conversation, even though we are *clearly* not. Keep being awesome, Caroline. 🙃

My husband fitted a Cecil fan for my daughter. She said it didn’t work. He took it all to bits only to find she hadn’t put the switch on. Nice job. X

I love your designs. They are exactly what appeals to me. And you are funny, bright, and genuine.

@kenn1936 Год назад

When I did half the wall - paper, I used a trim around the end of the paper to cover any errors!!! WHAT A FABULOUS JOB on that light !!!! Well done!!! You can always put a new top on that table and cut a few inches off the legs to make the table long and lower, if she wanted that.

@judemanning2648 Год назад

"i make mistakes like it's my job" !!!!! YESSSSS. Tha'ts my life. That was so good. AND, this video is dope. Leen is the BESTESS. I want her to be my BFF.

@michellepereira2328 2 года назад

This is a great makeover and just adds so much to the ambience of the apartment. To get a straight line you could add a thin piece of molding that could either stay or go after cutting the paper.

@gayeozpinar1470 Год назад

loved this video, especially the build up scene -waiting for the light to turn on. Caroline you've got some serious talent.

@tnijoo5109 Год назад

This was awesome and the coolest part was how there was no big theatrical BS over seeing Lena’s reaction to the makeover. Thank you!!!

@yvonneschermerhorn866 Год назад

Love the 2 antique chairs. I also think that it will be easier toslide into the bench because it is a bit longer than the table. It looks great!

@nice4708 2 года назад

This is exactly the kind of content I’ve been looking for! 😍 A creative, beautiful space with character, created by a wonderful, funny & authentic person! 😄 So refreshing to have something other than so many neutral cookie-cutter makeovers on RU-vid! Thank you so much for making your awesome videos, you seem lovely, can’t wait to watch all your videos! 💕

@Caroline_Winkler 2 года назад

Ahh thank you Nicola !❤️

@vaderladyl Год назад

Nothing replaces the ambience that a great vintage lamp gives to a space. I love vintage lamps and that is all I have in my home. But yes, I am terrified of getting electrocuted so I always hire an electrician for that.

@theresagarza1578 Год назад

This was sooo damn entertaining! It really broke up the monotony of my boring AF job. I laughed my ass off when y’all successfully got the pink pendant to work. Good job! Thanks for your content!

@MyMomentswithMom 2 года назад

The nook is too cute! Love the wallpaper. Everything looks so good together. Kinda funky......adorable.....and fresh. Caroline, your fun personality is what this world needs during these weird times! Glad we found your channel. We would love to see you do some antique shopping outings. We live in Orange County, Calif and have some great antique shops here. One of our favorite vlogs we love to do is shopping! And its fun to see other people shop too. 😉

@natalieweed8573 2 года назад

I've used peel and stick before and it's WAY easier to cut and make sure things fit before you peel off the backing! You can make sure the pattern lines up and everything's the same size. It turned out amazing though!

@mirandadyer4189 Год назад

Pro Tip when cutting wood and you don't want it to splinter or fray, put tape on the line where you want to cut! It will keep 'er nice and purty.

@mamaahu Год назад

This is just adorable! I am renting in France and have been so stumped about how to make this space feel like home. I’m going to look for stick on wallpaper! It’s an 18th century beautiful apartment, but I am not a formal person. I want to honor the beauty of the rooms and at the same time not be their slave! Dunno. I hope I can have fun doing it instead of making myself miserable. Thank you for your you.❤

@emyh4659 Год назад

looks fantastic! I just had a wallpaper fiasco myself. Super frustrating. Best way I found was to measure from the top down. Once I have the top aligned, I carefully pull down, then cut any excess material at the base.

@FatimaAli-qu1tq 6 месяцев назад

This is so beautiful! Please do a video about dining nooks as a part of a living room. I saw a video of you recommending this idea to your friends and it seemed like the PERFECT solution for my long awkward living room, but I feel like I still need more details about how you would do it. Thank you!

You would measure the wallpaper and cut it. Then apply it from the bottom smoothing upward.

@mykittenfriend Год назад

Hi Caroline! I don’t know if you will read this all these months later, but I really enjoyed this makeover video! You give practical and insightful decorating tips while staying true to budget (and environmentally friendly with thrifting etc!). An interesting video type you could do is “subscribers send me things they are thinking of buying” a la Paige Wassel’s videos here on RU-vid.

Those slag glass tulip lamps are some of my very favorite. I've seen them in several different colors.

@smallhouseinthemeadow6131 Год назад

I wish that I was Carolin'es friend.She does such amazing design.

@jonathanschell964 Год назад

Measure and cut the wallpaper before hanging. May or may not be trickier to manipulate but then you’re not cutting into the wall. Also then your scraps still have the peel paper and can be used somewhere else and avoid having the sticky side exposed and wasted.

@dorenem8532 Год назад

So freaking amazing how you transform a space! I would love to see some more small boring kitchen makeovers, because they are usually paralyzing with their o r d i n a r y crowded vibe!

@linshannon4480 Год назад

Just recently discovered your channel, so I've been watching a bunch of your content. I like this makeover a lot. You've given the space personality. I'm sure your friend is very happy with it because there will be memories for years to come from the furniture and the history.

@HugeNuts 9 месяцев назад

Love that you picked an Audrey Ficus.. I worked for an Interior Horticulture(had to look that up when i go the job,, basically i took care of houseplants before we put them in hotels and offices in Nyc) and so I am beyond over the Fiddle Leaf Fig (i get the reaction you get to wooden beads when someone wants one) and encourage anyone considering a tree for the space to get the Audrey instead.. You have great taste and love the channel.

@billyjo6136 Год назад

this is the best action movie ive ever seen. thank you

@colleennass1916 Год назад

I have loved all of your videos so far. Your free style is pulled together in such a fun way, not stuffy and over decorated. I really appreciate how you incorporate what you have and mix in the "found" objects.

@whatshellydoes7308 2 года назад

Look who it is😍! This was such fun. Content idea: designing beautifully around large furniture in a small space. Case in point, designing around a king size bed in a 144 sq ft bedroom living room. The closet is built in behind the door. There's a half moon console table, and a 4ft chest of drawers. No TV and have plants. Thanks for sharing.

@Caroline_Winkler 2 года назад

ahhh HI MY DEAR!! always love when you pop up :) and that's such a good idea of something to cover -- i find myself in a very similar situation now, giant bed, tiny bedroom. space planning and layouts could be future content for sure! thanks for sharing that!! and good luck in your space!!

@veronicatello9354 Год назад

Love it!!! I like that you put your share of charm but kept her style in it. You are so funny, I truly enjoy watching your videos! Sending all the good vibes ❤

@Solidaritybb Год назад

I found that same pendant light in a cream on Facebook Marketplace. I had to rewire the whole think because it was hard wired and I needed it to be plug in. I included an in line switch so I could turn it on easily. It was my first time wiring anything and of course it took for ever. Then, finally, the moment of truth. I plugged it in, turned it on… and it immediately blew a fuse. Lol. I had to do it all over again! Smh. BUT I learned a lot, realized my mistakes, and had the confidence of knowing I did it right the second time. It’s still up and I’m still loving it today!

@Caro2Late Год назад

I had no idea you were so insecure about installing a lamp. I was watching it whilst completely trusting the process AND YOU DID IT!! ♥ Ofcourse you did. And now I'm subscribed because you are a queen who isn't afraid to try ☺

@thesassiestsam Год назад

I'm looking at your older videos like this one. I love it! It's so smart and you really just go for it. In the end, every room looks impeccable.

Could add a trim above the wallpaper to make it look finished. And finish wallpaper in kitchen. Cute room 😊

@thatgirlnetty5308 2 года назад

Oh my God as I live and breathe, you're back. Caroline, your vision for this makeover and all the other room transformations you've completed is spot on. I love the wallpaper it makes that small area """POP""" which it needed. You are a delight to watch and today especially because I was feeling a little blue and you really make people feel good. We all make your mistakes but your's appear to look good (if that makes sense). I also thought I was the only one who can't stand those wooden beads but why go on, you get the picture. Thank you so much and I'm so glad you mentioned the redo that is missing it's Part Two for some reason. Have a great holiday (you know that means you'll be eating a lot of foods, I mean a lot of foods, and drink so enjoy)

@Caroline_Winkler 2 года назад

Aw Netty, I'm sorry that you had a blue day - and I'm so glad that I could help a little bit. That's how I feel about making these videos, they totally cheer me up. And I love that it does the same for you. More to come my dear -- and hang in there! better days ahead

Congrats! Another super fab makeover. I’m crushing on your design aesthetic. You’re a complete delight to watch. I’d watch you mop a floor to be honest.🤣 I’ve got a 2 story townhome in Santa Fe that needs some life from you!!! More makeover and design videos please. Also smaller diy builds using your skills with power tools etc. Vintage shopping and FB marketplace finds and how you incorporate those into your home would be fun videos too. Seasonal vids would be a plus. Happy Holidays Caroline! ❤️

@Caroline_Winkler 2 года назад

Shawna youre so sweet, i'm glad you liked it! And these are AMAZING content ideas. I have definitely been wondering if people would be into vintage shopping videos, etc and how to incorporate thing s into the home. SO SO helpful to hear. thanks for the ideas, and happy holidays back to you!

@mariboni516 Год назад

Idea: Put the tape above where the wallpaper should go. It's still giving you the correct visual placement and measurement and you can remove it when your wallpaper is in place without needing to cut or measure any further.
