This is all I want in life. Having my place, surrounded by memories of my friendships and experiences, being able to work in my art and experiment until I die.

Am I the only one amazed she's rented the same place for 48 years?

I've always thought textile artists/people have the most unique perspective on colour, materials and finish. This is space is such a testament to that. Beautiful.

Relationships where both are artists must be so unique and deep

i wanna hear more about her life with Patrick! i was hanging onto every second. seems like there's a story behind every single thing in that home. she didn't just go out and buy everything like we do nowadays. i wanna hear alllll her stories! 48 years in that space!

My friend lived in a shared flat as a student and they had a professional restorer as roommate. He did restoring work in churches, castles etc. and he could paint faux marble too so he painted a wall in their kitchen with it where they had their table. It looked so pretty. - Also just fyi: The Semperopera in Dresden in Germany is also faux marble everywhere. The pillars, the wall panels... everything. We once got an exclusive tour in 1986 when it was still East Germany because I threw a message in a bottle overboard from Sweden back to West Germany and a girl from Dresden on vacation at the isle Rügen (they were actually out surfing on Hiddensee, a little island in front of the other) found it and wrote back to me. So we got to visit them in 1986 in Dresden. And her father worked in the Palace of Culture and was an artist himself so that's how I know it. Kind of a long story. Sorry. 😄

I follow like 8 different home/interrior design youtube pages and they all post lovely videos that makes me go, "Well, I wish i had that spot, oh I wish I could buy that spot, then make this and that differently." I clicked this video and I immediately felt that there has never been someone more suited for a space than she is for her home. She did it exactly the way she wants. I wouldn't touch a thing. I wouldn't let anyone touch a thing. I love it so much that I wouldn't even want it for myself. I feel without her presence there, it wouldn't feel as whole. It'd be incomplete without her touch. What an inspiring artist :')

Amazing. What a house full of stories and what a lovely lady!

"It cannot be all about Patrick. Can it." :D :D :D Loved every minute of this journey! Such a beautiful space and a beautiful human.

It made me want to see her top 20 favorites, everything she talked about were all unique and had a fun little story attached, definitely would’ve liked to see more!

Pauline Caulfield is such an incredibly inspiring and interesting person and so is her studio/home.

As an artist/designer I am loving this space and my dream is that some day I will have my very own studio. Fantastic space!

What a lively and refreshing artist and space- I love her attitude and she has an extremely interesting and unique style. Its a breath of fresh air, compared to so many other overly curated, copycat interior spaces we see nowadays.

What a lovely home full of character. Some Victorian fireplaces were made of slate and hand painted in faux marble, many people have stripped this finish off thinking it wasn’t original. Lovely to see it’s still there!

This was such an incredible episode I finished it and immediately watched a second time all the way through. So many stories wrapped up in one home. Also that woman should write a book about her life because I would reeeaaaddddd it.

Patrick seems to be part of the fabric of the beautiful house, I can't imagine why they are not together, but they sound like great friends still 😅

Has anybody told you all that your channel is basically aesthetic ASMR. Audio is great, visuals are stunning, just amazing.

I don’t know her, but I love her- She’s such a calm, yet talented and passionate woman. Poor Patrick- bet he misses her terribly!

She says at the end about the John Hoyland painting, "who's going to know about it unless they know?" and it is literally the first thing that caught my attention in this video.

The heart and home of a true artist! Bravo!

Much enjoyed listening to Pauline Caulfield talking and showing her lovely living space. I used to live just round the corner from Primrose Hill, it is such a nice area as well. Also so interesting to hear about Patrick Caulfield and seeing the art of the other famous artists they know and knew. Lovely film. Thank you,

Rented for 48 years ? Wow . What a generous landlord.

I am blown away and feeling so inspired! I love this home so much 😍

She is really elegant. She is whom I wanna be in my her age. Thank you.

What a lovely lady she is and such and amazing home. I am head over heels with the studio. I have my ‘studio’ at home as well and indeed, never again forgetting scissors. 😂 My studio is a desk and an old chest. That’s it. Thank you for making this inspirational video.

Amazing. What a house full of stories and what a lovely lady!. The heart and home of a true artist! Bravo!.

Wow. Rented for 48 years! In Australia you’re lucky to get a 12 month lease renewed. People get thrown out of rentals for no reason still (usually so the landlord can up the rent, even if they don’t offer it to the current tenants first). I wish we had English tenancy rights here. So many people I know don’t follow creative pursuits or our dreams, because we just don’t have a secure house for long, including myself for a long time - long enough for me to get old enough to not bother anymore, even though I’m now in a secure place. Maybe this is why Australia has a very poor arts industry and artists are mainly just wealthy or privileged kids or people. We have no security here to even invest in ourselves long term in this way. She is so lucky.

As an artist/writer myself, this is a dream of mine. All of the clutter, the unique pieces. Amazing

what a gorgeous woman. but too modest. i loved everything she showed but wanted to see the things she has made. her fabrics. and so much else i am sure.

What a wonderful, light-filled studio. Wonderful artworks too.

It’s amazing to see the primrose garden’s neighbors who has remodeled to be fully artistic house.

These are my favorite videos on RU-vid at the moment. Thank you --

Beautiful! A lot of small details that makes the vibe of this home so ‘feel good’

So beautiful, thank you for making this and thank you to Pauline for sharing her home.

Making a work space that just fits into a beautiful home and amazing garden..loved it all.❤

Regarding 1:40, lately I’ve been reminding Mom of all the stuff she let me do (or get away with?) back in the mid-to-late ‘70s and very early ‘80s - when I was 8, 10, 12, those ages - sometimes with her right there, sometimes unsupervised, sometimes semi-supervised (as in “Okay, I’ll be in the salon/office/church basement, don’t wander too far, and you need to be back in two hours,” and then I’d drift off to wherever, it felt like miles away), and her jaw drops in disbelief but she also kinda smiles … and we were in Latin America, by the way, in a capital city with a rather dicey crime rate, but it was just a different mood worldwide I think. And I’m still here to tell the tales!! So this artist sounds like a good mom, she reminds me very much of my own. 🤗🎨🕺

The heart and home of a true artist! Bravo!. What a wonderful, light-filled studio. Wonderful artworks too..

Great video. I’m also an artist and my “studio” has always been in my home. I could never have a studio away from home.

Absolutely living the artist’s life. Beautiful woman!

The light is fantastic, and I love the garden.

I love this! So much character and care in every corner!

A lovely house, these are the kinds of places i like to see, lived in and honest and grown over time. I laughed at the talk of artists throwing things on the bonfire or down a well, its so typical! 😂 This is why collectors are important, someone has to stop us using that old rubbish to light the fire (what I used to do with mine)!

Your home is so beautiful and filled with organized space. Its seriously so lovely. 🥰💚🌿

This house is so beautiful!!! such a pleasing watch.

An absolute bliss. Thank you

Pauline Caulfield has a beautiful home. It is sooo her. She is such a talented textile designer. I cannot believe she rented this home for 48 years!!!! OMG!!!! This home is the perfect home for her and I love it!!!!

What a beautiful HEAVEN of a place and space. Such an interesting and inspiring episode.

this was so special.I enjoyed every second of it.

@3:19 It feels so heartwarming to see what she did there and her general perspective on life, basically. My tenant just do quite the same thing; when their family moved out, instead of erase the whole design thing, I just lighten the dark blue wall with a half arch in lilac color. It is an addition and you are able to see the dark blue; though it was a bit dilapidated. And, on a correspond side of it I diagonally draw geometric flash-sign - applying white, to give far more light guess to the space ie on lower part of other wall; so you have that 'sorta flash jagged' pattern as divider - rather than one smooth diagonal line. It went up to the ceiling. It makes the space looks funky. By doing this, the next tenant, do not have to buy cheap sticker or wallpaper coz these are all figured out. The work of previous tenant is not as perfect as it could have been; but I adore the ideas and I just tidying up the line with masks and tape work... Including put second layer of the same color since I know paint is expensive. They diluted the pigment which made me a bit sad on the mediocre job, to be frank. But I see the potential - I just embrace the moment. It turns out, as decent design. Overall, I love their creativity

it is absolutely beautiful, it's not overdone, the textiles, paintings, colors, designs are are just stunning.

Absolutely lovely!

Thank you so much for posting

This home is a dream! Just wow.

I love the way she’s talking about the picture and garden nature.

It was a gorgeous spacious house and the garden is exquisite.

This is how I want to live!! I totally identify with that--- "If I can get any work out of myself at all..." lol and the whole "oh well then you've forgotten your scissors..."

Beautiful! Where are those jeans from 😍

Such a wonderful space!

What a wonderful lady and home!

I love that green picture with the two orange semi spheres. It’s so meditative.

What an amazing house and studio, filled with treasures!😍 Incredible artist you are Madame and your Patrick and children!🧡💖❤️💛🧡 The painting on the wall and then painted rose around! Marble painting on the table...all The created frame! When can I come for tea to see all in real? 🤗 ❤much love from South of France🌞 The garden! Heaven on earth.💖💐🍀🌿🏵️🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

What an amazing space with such a fascinating history.

Just lovely. I’m turning 70 in November and I plan to be you in my next life ❤😂✨🎨✨

Enjoyed that, and Pauline - what a warm and friendly host.

WOW! What an amazing place, and space, to live and work. Plus the garden, ..lovely! And such a calm and interesting / interested lady! And all the amazing artwork and stories to them, didn't expect to be that amazed...

there is something about this woman that is so truly lovely. I just really like her. felt immediately calmed. endearing.

Thanks I enjoyed you showing us your home. I usually like minimal stuff in a house, but you have interesting arty stuff in yours.

A cut above the usual episode this week. Really rather good in fact!

Fascinating how many people comment without knowing who Patrick Caulfield was...they should check out the monument he designed for his own tomb 😉

Thats a beautiful set up she has, so much style.

That huge blinds enhanced the aesthetic by adding texture and color. Consider how they interact with the overall theme of the house. 💯

What a beauty! ✨

So lovely!

You are an artist Madame!!!

Beautiful green artwork ✨✅✅✅💚

Everything including her es absolutely wonderful

Such a lovely home with so much personality ❤

Such a lovely lady! Really admirable!

Lovely house all together!

Wish this was longer.

This is a home with stories and etched feelings. Not those minimal, all white homes designed by Pottery Barn and CB fanatics.

This would be a dream! One day my studio/home will be this grand

I think I'd like to go and live there now and have tea with her. What a wonderful life and artist!

OMG, the washing area. That was one of the first things hit me when I first moved to London. Back in my homeland we wash the clothes outside. Washing machine everything is kept outside. Then one cine to Europe and there are hardly any country with that. I still moan about the matter after almost 20 years living in this part of the world.

A home, a real home, with nicks and stains and scratches and ART. Not all white with grey laminate, not to impress future buyers of a house (aka the Toronto interior decor style).

I love these series ❤

Pauline’s hair is lovely. Beautiful space.

I wish secure, long term renting was more widely facilitated and normalised. This is a home /workplace that could only have come about over time; idiosyncratic, yet comfortable and functional (and obv in a dream location) ..

Beautiful house!

What a lovely house

Beautiful!

love her prints!

Artist has amazing Color sense n taste. Love their home. It just simple n tasteful ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Beautiful space.

I would treasure everything you just shared!

So wonderful place ❤and 9:06 Alenka 🎉😂

WOW. Thank you. ❤️

Lovely house and garden. I had no idea you could rent the same place for so long! You know without being thrown out on the whims of the landlord after a couple of years. Is it like a rent control thing?

Fantastic!
