Would milanote sponser you doing a more in-depth tutorial on how you use it for designing a space? I've learned a lot about design choices from your videos and I'd love to see the process spelled out in that way. And your video today sounds so much like the inside of my head whenever I'm watching shows like that 😆 Loved the feeling of relief I got from just hearing you say sh#%. Love you!
I wanna say, that this house screams "someone else cleans all this shit for me so idgaf". Those swan taps??? The bathroom carpet??? The kitchen island skirt??? Absolutely not, as a person who cleans their own house.
Good luck! Might have to do that quite a few more times, along with apprenticing him to one of the following: the local plumber, electrician, woodworking shop, etc. Either working in a position like that will give him an enthusiasm for one of those jobs and maybe he'll at least stay grounded with that as a hobby while he tries to make it as an actor, or he'll run far and fast away from that and in the direction of acting and all hope will be gone...
@@staceyschmidt3149pretty good idea. Both Harrison Ford (carpenter) and they guy who played Ron Swanson (woodworking) worked in trades while getting into the biz.
I'm not a male actor, but I wasn't properly loved by my father and when you started talking about them having to perform it really struck something in me. I know this was meant to be a fun silly smack talk thing, but hearing you say "You are enough" felt so emotional and painful, in a therapeutic sort of way. Thank you for sharing.
😂 you didnt understand this comment AND cant see how she has a point. She was in a relationship while being an actress 😂 so get over your insecurities!
@T.Currie I think so many people, but maybe especially men, struggle with the lack of a father figure and a lack of self worth stemming from that. You are enough. Grace Carter has made some beautiful music about her lack of relationship with her father, especially Blame ft Jacob banks, and Heal me. Very therapeutic to listen to, they might resonate with you. Just know you're not alone, and that the way your parents treated you might shape the way you feel and behave sometimes, but it does not define your worth.
The problem with a house that leans this hard into an interior theme is that as you live you acquire things that you love that don’t fit it. And the whole thing falls apart. Or you find yourself out saying, “oh I love this, but it doesn’t fit our theme.”
this is one of the most thought-provoking design points I have ever heard. wow! thank you for mentioning this. I'm going to keep this in mind always now.
My favorite place is actually my parents'! They moved while they were in their fifties, and while they were away taking care of my dying grandpa, their interior designer friend and I decorated their new apartment just with their own stuff (give or take a few pillows). It turned out so magical, and because all their stuff is the art and nifty tchotchkes they've collected over the many years of marriage, they've been able to change things around without having to completely redo it. I guess the young version is just starting your art collection really young and being ok with some things being empty!
I love pink and ultra femininity, but I wish Harbour brought his plants from his old place to balance it out a bit. I feel that all the rooms could really benefit from something natutal and green.
@@eily_b yeah but I need something like succulents or pothos to balance all the flowers. And I love flower! But I feel like this house needs to be more balanced. For instance, put half the stuff from the bathroom in the near empty bedroom
Ditto. He had all those great plants, and now he has this admittedly lovely "garden room" with pics of flowers and some fakes, but no actual plants... I would like to see them in the mix somewhere, if only in the cold pool house.
I liked all the books and wall art he had in his previous place, I wonder where it all went. I hate that the place doesn't look like he actually lives there. There's nothing of him in that house.
Carpet in the bathroom: germ central Overall house vibe: The Shining Male actors having no chill: 100% accurate, see also any kind of male performer Loved this 🏆
I actually really like their relationship and their behavior throughout the tour. They're cute and trying to make the other one laugh, like a cute couple who still got the time, the pleasure and energy to flirt
She had her arms crossed the whole time and was looking disapprovingly at him. I think she's a control freak who has to have everything her way. That is a woman's house. Aside from his small area, there is nothing masculine in there.
I do love you tearing apart celeb interior design choices but you absolutely putting their relationship on BLAST and calling out their dynamic is peak entertainment 😂😂👌🏼
Genuinely surprised you were ok with the carpet on the bathroom floor 😂 Listen I'm here for any SMACK TALK topic of your choosing but the way you analyse relationships makes me think reviewing romantic comedies would be absolute peak comedy
There were specific elements of their house that I liked (fireplace in the bathroom) but for the most part it left me feeling sort of sickly and tired. I can't really explain it but it just made me think of being way way too high and you're stuck in your grandma's stuffy tomb of a house and all you want is some fresh air and a glass of water. Everything reads as heavy and stale to me. Also, carpet in a bathroom? Abhorrent. There is so much moisture! The swan taps were gorgeous though. I enjoyed this and I hope you do another!
It feels like it is so stifling in there. I like the descriptor of grandma’s tomb-house. I even get a sense of mortuary, now that I think of it. Maybe all the florals. So many busy patterns and things that are clashing… so wrong. Caroline picked a good one to deconstruct. Looking forward to seeing more of these.
Agree with everything you said! And the pink ruffled bed and pink poofy curtain on the window in the closet! And the zebra room omg just hideous. So many busy clashing patterns EVERYwhere it makes me feel stressed just looking at it. Carpeted bathroom ewwww. I just know there's a doll room they didn't show. A room filled with victorian-style creepy dolls with moving eyes. I feel like this isn't anywhere near his style--it's all 100% her style and I truly hope he loves her so much that the stifling, cluttered, ruffly, pretentious grandma style doesn't start to grate on his nerves. (Edit: I was going to edit this and try to be nicer, but I made the mistake of clicking on the video again and that powder room! My eyes!!! I'm dizzy now! Oh well. Not changing my comment. My opinion is what it is.)
Their house feels like EXHAUSTING in a “I just spent a whole month at my grandparents and now I’m sick of them way.” Also the carpet is the bathroom is nasty. There I said it.
I just figured it out! This home gives haunted doll house from the Victorian era vibes. Like the little rich girl who owned it died a young tragic death and now her soul haunts anyone who dare play with it, or move any of the furniture.
I think they are super staged for the AD walk through. Sometimes the home owner comments on a large vase of flowers or bowl of fruit in a way which indicates they didn't put it there and don't usually have such a thing in their home.
The whole male actor thing reminds me of the guys who aren't actors but want to make you laugh with every. single. thing. that they say. It's fun for the first 5 minutes, but then you're like, "okay, but can we actually just have a conversation?" Everything is a bit, everything is a performance, and they're so insecure they actually think they have to do that to get laid. When in fact it's just annoying. And when it doesn't work, they think it's because they didn't go hard enough, and they're going to go even harder with the next woman.
omg!!! I agree! The most annoying thing ever... Knew a guy who was excessively like this, and it's exhausting. Most of the time it's not even jokes or anything, it's just using a "funny" voice, or making overexaggerated sounds. Drives me up the wall.
Thirty-five years with a guy like this. I have learned to just let him get it out, wait for the punch line and then carry on with a half decent conversation because you know he's going to interject again with another dumb comment. He has gotten worse over the years. Definitely exhausting.
uh oh this is kinda me i don't do it to get laid tho i simply get called "quiet" too much and humor is the easiest way to avoid silence in most social situations, you can be "clever"/thoughtful but without getting deep into anything, a little bit of recall, listening skills and some wit can help with being perceived as "less quiet"
Okay, I’m going to call this style “Titanic Chic.” Like every room here looks like it would fit in a stateroom on a giant old grand ship. Starting with those big poufy window treatments. Which is also all the exact style of my teenage bedroom in 1987. Flashbacks.
A window in a closet leads to uneven sun bleaching of your wardrobe. It starts to become painfully obvious after 2 or 3 years. It happened to me in an older home with a much smaller closet window. I covered that window fast when I noticed it happening. It can be a problem if you don't do fast fashion/entirely new clothes every year. I hang onto my clothing, some of it's handmade. So that sun bleaching really ticked me off.
@@_elunka I can see it happening if a room which was originally something else gets converted into a closet. I can understand having a closet window for ventilation. But I'd use light blocking drapes or film over the windows, not showcase them with no real covering. They can't even get dressed in that closet, because someone could be using a telescope to peep at them.
I can't believe how much I hated this house. It just kept getting worse. Yikes! Good for them if they love it, but I could not relax in any of those rooms. With that said, I loved the video! You were super entertaining.
Agreed. This seems like such a fake home. Do they really spend time there and enjoy it?! I don't buy it! This is their second home they spend 1 month out of the year at lol

So right! The house is horrible, nothing fits too much, those bedsheets and the leopard room... 😱
Pronouncing foyer properly is a massive positive for me. I watched a couple of American house tours before realising this was the way you chaps pronounce it and the host wasn't just saying it wrong
AD’s last tour of his apartment was one of my favourites EVER. This house was a shock but screamed, I love my English wife, so I admired this man even more. But I’ll miss his library, a lot, his soothing colours and originality. Let’s remind ourselves how sweet and happy they are.
I am -dying- because I had already seen this video independently and was APPALLED at how much I hated it. I was so ready for you to roast this and the fact that you didn't hate it is somehow hilarious to me.
Agreed. Gives 'nana's house' vibes. 🤣My pupils actually dilated when I saw his bathroom...and I had to take several deep breaths because the claustrophobia was setting in. 😵
I never thought the sentence 'David Harbour is a male actor' could be so cutting. ps. When I first watched this tour the Plain English reference went straight over my English head. Please do more of these.
Haha I had to laugh because my former neighbor is a male actor and, while nice, he’s definitely, well, an interesting person. Huge ego, always went out on the balcony in the summer to practice his texts wearing only boxer shorts so that we could here him on the other side of the street 😂
I want it to be talked about so much more so that it becomes confusing, but amusing, lore for our descendants. “Ah, yes, in the 21st century they always had a spare pillow on the edge of the bed. It was believed to ward off ghosts.” 😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I had a window in my closet. The sunlight bleached out some of my shirts and purses. I did not see that coming. So just keep that in mind for when you ascend to closet window/ bathroom fireplace status.
This is my absolute favorite of your videos. I laughed so hard I cried. "Male actors weren't properly loved by their fathers" just killed me. More please. MORE PLEASE!
When my husband moved into my apartment I redid all of if from mermaid theme to forest. I have many things I like; I don't need to have decor that makes him feel like an outsider. When we were dating I would sit on the couch and talk with him and behind him was like mermaid paintings and it looked so out of place. Bachelor and Bachelorette pads can be fun but its important for both people to feel at home in THEIR HOME. Worried for them.
Yea i tend to design our house in a way that fits us both. I always tell him that if i lived alone i would live in a pink and purple sparkly barbie dreamhouse type monstrosity🤣 We each have a room that we are decking out in our own styles but the common areas have a vibe that matches us both.
I can generally find elements of almost any home or design style that I respect and understand. But wow. Nope. Hated every inch of that house. Somehow they managed to take elements of style that I've always liked and put them together in a way that I viscerally reacted to.... which I guess is impressive in its own way. I'm sure they're lovely people, but if I went there for a party I think I'd have to spend the whole time outside in the garden.
OK, went through the whole tour and only one word comes to mind: horrible... If I entered a house like that, I would only take one look and run out screaming.
Taking requests for later episodes of SMACK TALK ! Can be a movie, show, or anything fun to review. It won't always be home reviews, BUTTT if you love home reviews as much as I do, check out DANIEL TITCHENER, PAIGE WASSEL, and MIRIAM MANZO's home reviews - they're my favorites!
Would LOVEEEE it if could review Emma Chamberlain's house (loved the balance of styles and colors in this one). Also recommend the show Modern Love (each episode has its own story kinda like Black Mirror but it's cute-r) (especially S1 E3 with Anne Hathaway). Maybe it's something that wouldn't be "on brand" for you, but I feel like it'd be fun to watch you play the Sims 🤷♂
I wonder what you would think of the channel Never Too Small. All spaces are generally under 500 sq ft & all over the world. The recent one done by a French architect partnership… it felt like rich people trying to be quirky.. pink & pistachio colors.. I hated it but I’m finding I do not like French style.
When I emigrated from London to the U.S. 20 years ago, I wanted to get away from everything English! The last thing I'd have in my house was floral wallpaper, flouncy draped curtains and intricate patterned carpeting. I think one can initially like Lily's house, but you would soon be overwhelmed by it. It feels like a 'pastiche'. My dream was to live in an American mid century modern house, the opposite of everything English homes are.
David Harbour's home tour in 2019 was a complete delight - I loved everything abouthis style! This home by contrast is tragic 😬 -- & carpeting a bathroom is just insane. Only my opinion!
@lsamoa my parents had a carpeted bathroom. It was so unsanitary and gross. To their credit, they didn't ask for it, thats just what the contractors put in.
Not the pillow that protects you from ghosts and the crack by the wall😂 I literally cackled into my coffee, thank you for this lovely riot of a Saturday morning vid
Bedding looks like something out of a sad catalog. I love English country house style, envy a bath with a fireplace but that bathroom doesn’t appeal to me. Edit to add: You’re too kind about the airplane sconces. First glance identified them as toilet paper dispensers and I wondered “why that look???”
I’d like to think that Lily Allen and David Harbour are the kind of people that can laugh at themselves if they ever come across your video because the way you had me cackling 😭🤧
This house is so freaking overwhelming and I'm only at the bathroom. I like the colours and items individually but if it was my house I would just need it to basically be half of what it is. Like spread all of it over twice as many rooms lol
As a Brit, proper Londoner, I'm going to have to call Lily out on being offensively Hyper English, 😂since she's moved to New York. It's too much. 🙈We cannot. This is so obvs David Harbour's kink, and just watching her giggle impishly, in a floral living room, like a vaguely goth (gorgeous)Stepford Wife, makes me yearn to see her after accidentally taking Ketamine and being carried out of an awards ceremony. We're Brits, we actually were totally there for that vibe, and I bet they would have still fancied each other. But instead, she made him turn his bedroom into a 1980's Bed and Breakfast in Grimsby, and I just cannot be happy for him.
LOVE that you did this react. I HATED that home tour with a PASSION both for the overwhelming decor and the incredible awkwardness. HATED IT. THANK YOU.
I was much confused when I saw the comments on that video. Most people were so in love with their house and their dynamic, and I was like, “I hate everything about this!” I felt like I was on crazy pills!
Thank goodness other people hated this house also. The kitchen was ok but still a little frilly for me. The rest of the house made me feel so nauseous.
Tbh, for me, the decor was kinda overwhelming and their vibe was a bit bizarre...hmm...I don't give it a year. But, I give Caroline all points for this fun and hilarious vid! (and SAME about pillows!)
TMI, over sharing: I am on my couch with a ruptured ovarian cyst and this vibe is exactly what I needed. Snacks and talking smack? Feminine bonding in my favorite form. ✨💅🏻
I really loved his style before the makeover. The kitchen (minus that skirting) and that double couch room were my faves but the rest of the place is a hard no for me (esp those horrible drape things from the 80s). No to zebra, no to carpet in the bathroom, no to that thing in the bathroom that looks like a water heater, just no!
Awesome series! It's giving period cramps self care energy and I'm here for it. Please release more so I can lie on the couch with my hot water bottle and watch this
The drapes are so oppressive. That bedroom has motel vibes. Eek. The tiger/zebra room makes absolutely zero sense. I love the rest for the most part, but not my style.
I have just discovered your channel...and opening by shoving a handful of popcorn into your mouth has started my day off on the right foot! Thank you so much for being an actual relatable human being.
I would like the bathroom, if it wasn't a bathroom. It's like sitting room, but then it was turned into a mold farm by putting a bathtub in there with the carpet and wallpaper. I smiled at Caroline saying it looked like grandmothers place from the '80s, because I had literally been thinking 1880s befor she said that. Everything comes back around.
I hate it when a carpet is basically the floor anyway (no clue how to call it, but there’s some name for it). You always have to be so careful not to spill anything on it. But it’s a pretty British thing, I’ve had carpets everywhere in so many cottages in the UK…
@@Diana-qp2rw We call it wall-to-wall carpet. It was very popular in the states from about the 1960s through the 1990s but has fallen out of favor lately.
Grandma's house in the 80s is perfect. Alllll the dustskirts and carpets remind me of visiting my elder as a little kid. My head can't stop thinking of "dated" because I've never seen it anywhere else lol.
Same, plus a weighted blanket. And before I had the right dose of ADHD meds I perpetually had approximately 3-4 loads of clean laundry waiting to be folded taking up the other half of my bed. All in all, I was really only left with half of my queen bed!
You have very quickly become one of my fav personalities to hang with over the past couple weeks! Hugely relatable and inspiring, excellent energy, whatever energy you happen to be bringing in each vid. Just the very best vibes. Love love love it. I’ve binged most of your videos and look forward whatever you come up with next!
The first thing I thought when I saw that bedroom was how boring it was. Maybe what I was reacting to was the flat pillows. Not just that there's one per person, but also they are flat. Don't know why that bothered me so much. Plus, going from the explosion of pattern in the bathroom to plain pink makes made me yearn for more. As a sun worshipper, windows in the bedroom make me sad. I also agree about the window in the closet; it's really house goals.
Omg I’m dying laughing- I completely lost it with the “not allowing” the sour dough. I am undateable as well, I thought I was the only one who said that out loud.
I didn't even recognise Lily Allen. The last time I saw her was a music video complaining about industry executives pressuring her to have liposuction or something. She's made babies and now she looks younger than when she made the babies! Also I LURRRRVE wallpaper murals. I don't care if they date, I just WANT THEM!
I like bc I'm obsessed with ancient Rome and it reminds me of their amazing walls. So when they became popular I was like yes Bc it'll be possible for me without hiring a human to paint. I don't care about what's in either.
@@msb4838 I am such a slow thinking person I wanted a wallpaper forgetting the thing I'm a painter. And I can paint literally anything. Including human figures and ornaments. This I will do as soon as I finish with decluttering my space (working on it, really :) )
I don't think I've thought of Lily Allen since her first or second album. She was kinda a smarmy London kid so to see her elegant and married to David is kinda whiplash lol.
It’s a testament to my love for you that I made it through this video listening to you eat popcorn. I don’t listen to the children I grew myself, eat popcorn. The sounds of mastication fill me with unreasonable rage.
Came here mid-video looking for the comments on the popcorn eating noises. I’m genuinely surprised there aren’t more (yet). I do think there’s a definite overlap between people with misophonia and people who watch this content so you’re definitely not alone on despising the chewing sounds.
For the longest time I thought I was an intolerant bitchy person because hearing people chewing angers me, along with other mouth sounds and when I heard of misophonia I felt so relieved it’s an actual thing.
oh my gosh . I can totally do popcorn but not moist masticating . I want to pull off my ears and slap my family members with my bloody flapping ears during moist chewing .
So many thoughts on this video! First of all, I love your part - please make the smack talk into a series! And you are too modest Caroline, you are super qualified to give your expert opinion on celebrity homes! Whew, ok...Lily Allen. I was a fan around a decade ago. Like her, back then I pranced around in sneakers and loose-ish dresses. But that was also when the inimitable Amy Winehouse was alive (RIP
Totally agree with you about her character. She came across as jealous, insecure and with a huge inferiority complex regarding her chubby body. She realised her puny talent was a stream next to Winehouse’s ocean. In 2007 when Winehouse, totally deservedly imo, won the best female singer Brit she threw a hissy fit and a tantrum that would put a toddler to shame and declared that she should have won the award. I disliked her instantly at that moment.
When I saw you posted this I waited to have a moment that I knew I could watch uninterrupted. You with your popcorn on the couch was me with my green tea on the floor. Thank you for blessing us with this content, Caroline.
Yeah, we only say "foy-ay" if we want to be fancy, usually as a joke. We're lame like that. I'm not actually sure how we manage to mess up the pronunciation of so many words. Did we never hear anyone say the word before we stole it from whatever language it belongs to?
Ahh! So interesting to know Obviously Canada and david are correct. I hope that is clear. it’s a funny thing in the states. We’ll pronounce ballet correctly of course, but if someone pronounces croissant authentically in an otherwise American sentence, it’s gonna be a tough day for me
Loved his bachelor’s pad and his closet in the house. Everything else in the house is her taste. My making enemies moment- it’s like a grownup little girl’s room all over the house. But, they look so happy. 💗
Highly recommend Troye Sivan's AD house tour. Such a cool and unique space and he's actually a normal person and not putting on a show in the tour. He obviously put a lot of love and care into his house and it's gorgeous.
I loved his apartment in the last tour. To me, this looks like an English hotel in the ‘80’s - or this store that used to be popular in my area called Dorothy’s Ruffles. It’s a LOT. Too much frill for me, but whatever makes them happy. Really enjoyed your commentary, btw. This was fun.
I am a bit confused about who designed what. Did he really design that bathroom or is he just joking around? It’s so different from the super neutral kitchen that Lily takes credit for and it’s sooo different from his old apartment. Anyway, their chemistry as a couple is really cute and you’re hilarious!
I almost moved in with a guy who likes Scandinavian light wood and straight lines, and I’m all about art nouveau and Victorian haunted houses. It never would’ve worked. Now I’m with my husband who doesn’t have ANY opinions about the way things look so I get free reign!
I am a fan, I find your design notes and your humor and speaking style quite refreshing, but please don't chew on popcorn through the whole video next time because its really distracting and making it really hard to concentrate. Thank you.
This is exactly how I feel when I watch these AD videos!! I actually told RU-vid to stop recommending them haha! I may try to figure out how to undo that. I am also an interior designer and girl you are so relatable on so many levels! You make things that drive me nuts or insecure less scary, less painful and even fun! So much love for you! 💋
So fun!!!! but…. as fabulous as it is to have a window in the closet, I once had one in a weird converted fourth floor walk up and everything that was dark colored cotton faded on one shoulder over the summer. 😂 totally invented asymmetric color blocking
Completely agree!! A window in a closet *seems* like a great perk, but unfortunately those UV rays WILL fade any portions of your clothing that are facing the window. I had a walk-in closet at my previous house that had a small, north-facing window - so you might think indirect/ambient sunlight might not be a problem, but NOPE, it absolutely did ruin some of my clothes. Perhaps covering the window with a UV-blocking film would prevent that problem, I don’t know.
Caroline -- this needs to be a regular thang! The comments ---- funeral home flowers in the fireplace, wooden blinds in the zebra room, the heavy pink frilly blinds--- 100% truth. You've got the interior design 6th sense/mojo , more AD celebrity homes need your smack talk asap and I'm here for it. Please do Cara Delevingne and Gwyneth Paltrow next! 🙏
Can I just say that when I saw their home tour, I desperately wanted to talk to someone about it bc of how off the wall her style is (sadly; no one cared lol). Thank you for filling this void 😂
I wanted my great aunt’s 1950 Kelvanator refrigerator to use as a linen closet but my mother thought that was weird and wouldn’t let me have it….that was forty years ago. I was so ahead of my time.
I am only 5 minutes into the video and its already absolutely hilarious. Almost like the old youtube days when people did not take themselves too serious. Love it.
But maybe you sleep with a squishmallow to hug instead of a pillow to hug? Or maybe that's just me! I'm a 32 year old woman who sleeps with a squishmallow!
Same!! I’ve never slept with more than one pillow. I like my weighted blankets but I can’t get comfortable with multiple pillows. Only time I liked a second pillow when I had to sleep with one under my knees when I hurt my back
Caroline, I just moved into my first solo apartment after breaking up with my boyfriend and your videos make me laugh & smile all the time. Thanks for making such fun content. I love this react series!
He seems a little bitter or sarcastic in a lot of his comments.. And I get it. If I had gone from living in such a nice style to this doll house I would be a little snarky too.
BIG fan of this series already 😂 -- you're like inside my mind with all the thoughts I had when I watched this video, down to their awkward conversations, the funeral vibes on that fireplace, the bedding, etc. But omg I would NEVER put carpet in a bathroom, the thought of it makes me want to vomit lol.
Weird but carpets on bathroom floors are actually a thing in the UK. I stayed in a few houses with them, and these were regular houses where the owner was the cleaner. What's even weirder is I remember looking at a house online that a male actor had for sale and he had carpet in the kitchen.
DO MORE OF THESE, like a weekly or bi weekly Arch Digest home review, I absolutely love this video! Honestly all of your content has been seriously amazing lately, you’re doing great!!
This video was super entertaining and definitely lifted my spirits. Love your laugh and brand of humor. Thank you! AND this Milanote app is amazing! I'm a productivity geek, and this simple app allowed me to concentrate my messy brain and digital notes into a simply elegant interface. So happy you brought it to our attention! Have a rad day and keep 'em coming :)
