I think there still is a mix though! Usually they are renovating their homes but at the same time doing small DIYs! You just gotta watch the entire video for the small diys within now which I am very happy about.
Simone biles recently talked about how she’s not answering the “what’s next” question right after she wins an Olympic medal because it doesn’t give her the opportunity to enjoy her win that she JUST had a minute ago like she JUST had an insane achievement why should she think about what’s next
The question that was inappropriately asked about "children evolving the channel" made my jaw drop. As a mom, *clears throat* CHILDREN ARE NOT AN AESTHETIC! Also, you do not exist for consumption.
I always get so upset when I see those questions being asked. Not only is it not our business, but it could also be really damaging if the person might not be able to have kids or has miscarried. Also, why are those questions always directed at women?!? As if a woman's sole purpose is to be a baby-making factory.
Agreed! Kids are not a marketing tool but also as a mom of 3 I do need creativity designed affordable kids spaces that I would love for the Chanel to have some more family related spaces because I need help 😂
Idea for The Sorry Guys episode: I think it would be cool to have a discussion about how to merge different styles, especially when your partner has very strong opinions/ a lot of professional knowledge about design. You could rate different styles individually to show how different your sensibilities are, and then hear about how the guys get involved when you're designing for your own homes, where you have to keep in mind the other person's opinions. You touch on this when you're designing your own places, how to hold space for their tastes, but it would be nice to hear it straight from Austin and Elliot.
That last question and Becky’s response is such a good message to finish on. So important. Like YES absolutely, we can stop two seconds and chill and be content with where we are, and we don’t always need to be thinking (and stressing) about what’s next!
I'm glad you talked about the not having kids topic, and I love that most of you are leaning to it, people need to understand that women don't necessarily want to be mothers, we're so much more than that and life has so much to offer to us with no kids.
Also to all my fellow ladies worrying about biology's timeline when you yourself haven't decided yet, you can talk to your doctors about egg freezing! It's not always the best option (not a guarantee, can be expensive, does require a lot of hormones), but it's at least AN option to consider, and more and more companies are offering some sort of health insurance benefit to help offset or even fully cover the costs.
I wholeheartedly agree with you and appreciate the TSG talked about this. I struggled for a long time with “that’s not what I want but it’s what’s expected of me so I’d better get over it...” Hearing other women talk about this so honestly normalized my decision and made me so much less afraid of judgement.
Think the same here :) Thanks for talking about it and for "normalizing" that no, not all women want kids, and yes you can have a nice and fulfilling life as a human being/woman without having to procreate. Being asked constantly, when you are in your 30s and in a relationship, for when you plan on having kids is so annoying and put so much pressure on you, like something is wrong with you... I feel less alone when others voice that no, it's probably not in their plans and that's actually okay.
New content idea: Reimagining your own spaces with a totally different design style or color scheme than you normally like. Ex. Becky shows a board/sketches of her living room in a shabby chic style, or Kelsey rethinks her dressing room in an industrial style. Basically adding a new constraint to one of your spaces but make it work so it's still "you" and you'd like to live there.
Lovveeed this video! And I love your honesty and openness. I really like how the channel is evolving and changing. Such creativity. Plus The Sorry Boys?? YESSSS!!!!
Yes I love episodes with Austin and Elliott! Those hotel room make over couple vs couple were great and I think they bring a fun quirk to the show when they make surprise visits :) it’s so awesome to see you both have a partner be so supportive and helpful too
I really appreciate you all being willing to answer the children question! It is such a deeply personal topic, but because we are starting to break away from the expectation and norm, I love to hear other women talk about their perspective now that alternative family structures are more widely accepted. Personally, I know that I've always wanted children, but I love to hear other women talk about their feelings on if/when they have children of their own. It's such a big and incredibly personal decision and while nobody is obligated to talk about their feelings about it, I greatly appreciate when people do because it helps continue forging the path ahead around the topic of leaving the choice open. Always great content!💕
I think it is a testament to you having made some really good decisions that you don’t have to be the bossy boss very often. I don’t think you’re hiring people who don’t show up for work or are late all the time. That is a really useful skill, and if you say you’re able to work with your staff 90% of the time as if you are friends that means you have that skill. I’m sure that, like you said, it has a lot to do with the fact that everyone cares about what you’re putting out. They just sound like really easy people to work with, and part of that is down to good hiring and part of it is just down to good people.
Becky’s answer to the last question is spot on. The majority of our lives are spent in the day to day and it’s so important to appreciate and reflect in the present. Not enough people have this wisdom.
I think the reason the clickbait title bothered a lot of viewers is because we feel like TSG is a more authentic place than others on YT “just playing the numbers game”. We get it, but it felt off brand for TSG.
Yes exactly this. I was so thrown off by that post, and it was disappointing. I know I'm just one random viewer and my clicks don't matter, but it just felt so opposite to what TSG have always been about
Also it was more than the title. There was also a purposefully misleading post and stories on IG leading to the video going live. And it was following the news that Rachel was only part time just a few weeks prior.
For having the “Sorry Boys” on, you should do - I think it was the newly wed game? - but girls answer questions ahead of time, then boys are asked the same questions, but they have to write what they think their girl answered :). It would be fun to see if they can pick out your style taste. Oo! OR girls style a shelf, picture is taken, shelf is unstyled, boys have to try and style the shelf agin as close as possible to what their girl might have done. I think it would be fun! :)
I loved this video ❤ As a fellow ADHD-er, all of that is sooo relatable, Rachel 😂 Also really appreciate the candidness around having or not having kids. Also in my 30s and it always feel so invasive when people ask me about marriage or kids. We all have different life goals.
Honestly, apart from all projects and stuff, your business and how you seem to run it really inspires me. Many channels I watched have disappeared years ago, -and I respect them all- I know how hard it is to keep it sustainable, as well as personal stuff that might've happened. You girls trying to keep boundaries, renew yourself, take lessons and honestly communicate -after all these years- to create a sustainable business is giving me hope on a similar path. I personally connect with knowing how people love big projects and they do feel so fulfilling, however they are so taxing and complicated to do so often. So I love the solution you've found with "from the workshop floor", I love it, many people seem to love it, that's great! It seems a few of my favorite creators have also chosen a more straightforward and conversation based content to fill that gap, like livestreams... Anyway, this gave me a few ideas and more hope... I'm wishing you the best, have a nice day! •ɞ•
Thanks for picking up my question. It is good that TSG team handled well for "TitleGate". Update: Women have the choice to have kids or not. TSG team is all working hard for their home not because they want to have kids. It is because they want to improve their living place, and their DIY skills, and create what we like to watch. AND PLEASE BRING BACK "THAT COST HOW MUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCH" series.
I loved the rapid fire. A whole episode of rapid fire answers with leisurely exploration of the backstories with accompany-ing video clips. A challenge and a shout out to the editors too. While it is nice to include the audience questions, your team has a unique perspective, sensitivity and humour for coming up with the questions. It is exciting when the questions come in without the SG's prior knowledge. EEEEE!
You could have the guys talk bout there perspective on The Sorry Girls, maybe do a mini challenge where you build something with them, have a little q&a session with them, maybe just sit and talk about anything and everything.
Ladies, be proud of yourself! From two to an entire team, so many years with great content, is not easy. What I love the most is that you evolved but remained humble and down to earth. Changes are organic and will not satisfy everyone because everything is subjective when it is about taste and preferences. Keep the passion in everything you do!❤❤❤
I have been watching y’all for years at this point and am so grateful to you all for how you answered the kids question. It’s no one’s business but you each answered it with such grace and honesty and I thank you for that. You’re role models in the workplace and with your personal lives and I’m so happy to have found you all ❤
I really appreciate you all taking a moment to properly and sensitively address the kids question. For some it might be an easy question, but others (like me) feel a lot of pressure around these kinds of questions. For me, I just don't know if I want kids and don't really like them, but I do feel the time limit for making this decision. Especially as I'm getting older, I get asked this question a lot and people try to convince me that I'll eventually change my mind and will want kids when I say I don't know. So thanks for lifting some of the pressure ❤
Society places pressure on women to get married and have kids, but I've noticed that those who push this expectation don't always seem genuinely happy themselves. Maybe they are sometimes, but that’s life. I believe people should just mind their own damn business lol
Love the conversation about kids. We (women and folks able to concieve) don't owe anyone anything! Ya'll voiced a lot of things that I've always felt - thank you!
I'm going to throw out another request for more Anneliese content! I LOVED seeing Kelsey and even Becky in the Okanagan re-doing some of Anneliese's cabins! I thought the couples' challenge was so fun! And that location brings ALL the summer vibes imo. 😉❤️
This has been my favorite episode of the Workshop Floor so far! All four of your individual personalities really shone through. I also loved how you addressed the kids/pregnancy question. I would enjoy hearing more from you regarding more “serious”/unrelated comments. Like, opinions of children and internet, thoughts of how UA-cam as a platform has changed, etc. Again, really great job with this one. ❤
I think the kids question is something that not everyone understands as inappropriate. In some cultures it is the way of life to think this comes next, but I think I'd rather someone not have kids because it is expected, but rather because they truly want them. I get asked almost by everyone when I visit my in-laws' country. Which is not great, because while me and my husband been together for a long time, just like Becky and Austin, we want to wait because we just want to live our own life for now. Apparently it is now to the point people are gossiping that we can't have kids! I am not even 30 yet, it is so so silly.
Rochelle's fantasy dream life/job sounds so perfect!! It screams Gilmore Girl vibes in a good way. Or even Schitt's Creek, I can just picture it so well.
Long time viewer. I’m 41 . I didn’t feel the urge to have kids til 37 and I’m the happiest mother in the world now . I guess I’ve always been curious about what you would do next but that’s out of a place of love and interest in your crew . I would have never dreamed to ask though bc I watch your content bc it brings me joy . Thanks for sharing but it’s never expected. ❤
This was a really lovely Q & A episode. I know it must be difficult to answer personal questions to a bunch of strangers on the internet. Thank you, ladies, for sharing your personal sides with us. I really love the message of empowerment, appreciating what you've accomplished & taking the time to enjoy it & lastly sharing the different aspects to running a successful UA-cam channel. It truly takes a village to make it run successfully. Well done to the whole TSG team. Whether you are in front of the camera or not, your hard work shows, and your viewers appreciate you!
Seeing the emotion and frankness about the kid topic was very moving & appreciated. My husband and I had to make the hard choice to not have kids recently due to the political & financial climate where we live. Maybe someday that can change, but in the meantime every time anyone asks I get so sad. I cannot imagine being asked over & over in the comments. Thank you for addressing this, bc it’s not appropriate to ask, and I hope your audience is understanding. ❤
Kelsey I love the way you stood up for women and clapped back at that comment about 'when are you having kids'. I never comment on videos but the whole teams answer to that question made me so happy!! I just really appreciate the realness with you all! It's really great you guys open up your lives but it's insane people think they can't say whatever they want. And also that they would assume they can't get access to everything in your lives. Been watching you guys for well over ten years and just really adore you two, and now you four
I think what we, regular viewers who felt slighted by the "PPP clickbait scandal", were looking for was just an apology and acknowledgement that it was a cheap tactic. That's all. Thank you for this fun lil' Q+A, it was great to hear some of the goings-ons, hints at future project, "sorry boys" video idea, etc!
I have left strong comments in the past and I still watch your channel. This was very interesting and insightful. I think any questions or comments about babies, bodies or boyfriends are really out of bounds. I’m sorry you have had comments like that. Mostly, I have issues when the content is repetitive, or it seems like filler or the outcome is sloppy and is a waste of viewers time. I think intention is so important and that is why I loved Rachel’s project series and Rochelle’s woodworking projects. They have goals and achievable outcomes. I loved Becky’s Robot video and I love Kelsey’s focus on sustainability. The reason I watch your channel is to learn new skills or diy techniques. I have worked in both nonprofit and corporate environments, from grassroots to international. I think it’s amazing that you’ve been pioneers in the UA-cam arena. It’s a real mix of having authentic content, personality, and entertainment. That’s really difficult and complex. I think telling viewers that you’re evolving was really smart and talking about your video process was very insightful.
Would love to see a sorry guy episode. I’m looking forward to VW camper episodes. Where my family goes camping. This summer we had five or six vow campers around us. They’re freaking adorable. People need to stop on asking about. You guys having children. As someone who is unable to have children. I believe that is a stepping over the line question. Rochelle I also love being an aunt and great aunt. You all are awesome.
Ty for talking about ADHD struggles. everyone having the head space to to be so mindful of each other really gave me a calming effect deep in my chest. ❤
Idea for The Sorry Guys episode: Who knows The Sorry Girls the most? So maybe ask questions on who made x or which of these examples (pictures of things where one is made by The Sorry Girls) have we made etc
it would be so much fun to see a vlog type of video of just like the process with all the brainstorming and all the stages content goes trough and to see more of the team!
I agree with you ladies on the work life balance and taking your time to enjoy the journey, not rushing to cram more and more in and burn yourselves out. This coming from somebody who burnt out in 2015 from taking on too much and being stressed and not having the time or energy to take care of myself, I got sick and never recovered, to this day I’m chronically ill and housebound because my body just can’t recover. Think permanent covid lockdown since 2015, but also mostly reclined on bed or sofa because no energy to function normally. Rest and balance is so important. You’re doing great! 👍🏼
I think a fun boys video would be having them do a challenge using their opposite gifts/diy skills. Austin seems more handy vs Elliot is a great cook. See how they fare doing both and the sgt/instagram polls gets to decide the winner, or it can just be fun without the competition if that might create tension? It would be cool to highlight their creative outlets too!
This was so much fun. It's lovely finding out about each of you personally (as much as you want to share only), and it makes your other videos feel more personal. Thanks ladies.
Idea for the sorry boys episode, or for any episode, Flip off The two couples complete a furniture flip together in a competition. Maybe sell them see who makes more like flea market flip
my favourite part of this Q/A was the personal q's. i think its cause we get to see the girls professionally so its just so nice to be able to get private and personal with them too, esp since ive been watching them for ages and they've turned into my comfort ytbers now
I love Rochelle's and Kelsey's take on kids. Because I am exactly like Rochelle and definitely a lot firmer than how she phrased it, and Kelsey saying she is selfish is not a bad thing. It takes an incredibly selfless person to be a parent and not enough people think this decision through more! OH SORRY BOYS CONTENT! Maybe like a DIY Christmas/ birthday/ anniversary etc present? I lovedddddd it when Austin filmed the gate tutorial by himself, very wholesome content we stannnn
I’m totally here for a Sorry Boys segment - they’re both so cool and funny and I think having them build stuff or design some cool man caves might be awesome! 😎 Rochy’s hardware store could be called “Bed, Breakfast and Beyond” 🤣☺️
Hey y’all, been following TSG for almost a decade now, and I love hearing you all reflect on your journey and potentially what’s next! Thank you for always being your authentic selves and creating such a welcoming space on your channel. I would also LOVE to see a couples’ challenge with The Sorry Boys one day! Something like a version of Design or Conquer could be fun haha
To answer your question Kelsey, I am a bit ashamed to say that I'm really satisfied with the kids question. Tbh, I have always wondered - not because it matters, but just because I (and probably other viewers) feel like you ladies are our friends and we are connected to you!! (in our minds hahah). I'm around the same age as you, at the same point in my life, living in Toronto, DIYing my way through it...etc. Becky's answer could have come straight out of my mouth! 100% on point with what I'm thinking today. Really just makes me feel like I'm not the only one out there that thinks this way! Thanks for opening up ❤
Yes exactly! When you watch people's videos for years you feel a connection to them , like they are your friends even though they have no idea you existed 😂 and you just wonder about their lives as you would your own real life friends. It's natural to wonder and be curious. Im definitely not condoning people who ask rudely like they are entitled to your personal life though.
You could do a couples challenge with a smaller diy project. And anser some questions people might have for Austin and Elliot, regarding how to incorporate two peoples opinions in designing a home. Or how its living with a sorry girl etc.
I am a parent, and I am interested in DIYs for kids. I'm sure a lot of your OG fans are as well. There are ways to make parent DIYs without having to become parents yourselves. Getting time to DIY as a parent is difficult, and having help from skilled friends and family members is immensely appreciated. It's a good idea to have an experienced parent's eyes on a design for kids to point out any red flags.
Love this episode. Learning a bit more about your personal choices, but mainly about the progress that you made and the stuff that happens behind the scenes is really nice! Also the kids part, you handled that very well and I totally agree with you. It is very disrespectful to just assume that you want to have kids, we as woman can make different choices and all of them are totally okay and amazing.
as a young mother (first kiddo at 22) the talk about motherhood and having children was such an amazing conversation. Got a little emotional watching 🫶🏻 love you ladies!!!
For some reason, I miss the “upgrade my stay” series so much. I have no idea if they will do something like that nor do I want them desperately to create that again but I'm not gonna lie my heart will smile to see another episode of that series.
We love the sorry boys!! I especially love when Austin or Elliot do something for you guys. My favourite episode ever is when Austin makes like a gate for Becky?? He is so funny and good on camera I think!
Although it is not anyone’s business whether you plan to have a family-consider that your subscribers/viewers care about you! It is a good thing. I am enjoying your content. Keep up the good work.
Respectfully, I have always thought that the Sorry Girls could hide an entire pregnancy and children because I also have feelings on sharing children online and thought you all could share the same values. Have been a viewer for over 10 years and love watching you all grow 💕
I am so here for a Sorry Boys Challenge! Maybe pair couples off or have the boys play against each other actually building things (like a that costs how much!!!), designing a small set room (digital?). All the while they have to answer questions in the middle of said timed challenge 😂
I've watched your channel I believe almost from the beginning and am as proud as if you were my own girls. Never did I think from the beginning that you would be as successful as you are. Keep doing what you're doing because it's obviously working..
For the Sorry Boys you should do a DIY challenge girls vs. boys a photo with a piece of decor and time limit for who can get the closest in a set time!! Maybe the production team could randomly throw in wild card handicaps for Kelsey and Becky to make it more fair
what a great episode! The reason why some of us are sad that there are less Tuesday episodes is that so far there has been little communication about long term schedule changes. Since you said you have the rest of the year planned, could you give us some insights? Something like, (almost) every Saturday a video and then 1-2 videos per month on a Tuesday? I'd personally would rather have you say "Saturday every/every other week and then sometimes on Tuesday" than to check UA-cam on Tuesday evening and see, that there is no new video, again. Thank you for all the years of teaching and entertaining so far, I am looking forward to seeing what else is to come!
Ideas: Austin /Elliot vid newlywed game (you've already have the dry erase boards) & viewer questions for them while Kelsey & Becky can't hear them off scene, as a 61 yr old I appreciate the candor helping me understand the young women of today, been a sub since Kelsey lived in the loft, luv u girls
Rochelle, I 100% agree with that knowledge from the age of 12 that you didn’t’ see yourself having children. When I was little, my cousins’ Barbies had kids and white picket fences. My Barbie traveled the world and had two dogs. I was like 8 years old when I wrote that story. I’m 47 now and am a step-mom (as of 2020) and I’m now a mom but … I knew forever. I just related hard core to your statement. Thank you all for being so honest. Love the channel.
I love From the Workshop Floor so much. For me it feels like videos are coming out more frequently. We get to see all of you more often which is something I’ve read people have wanted for a while in comments. Specifically all of you together, but I’ve absolutely loved having people like Anne and Nina on as well. The bigger makeovers are definitely what I’m here for as well as I love a good before and after, but also the smaller projects have been fun to see as well - like items that have been made for a larger project. Overall love the current video schedule!
I've noticed that TSG has been focusing on bigger projects recently, and I'm honestly a big fan! I never loved the episodes that seemed to be filmed just for filler, and the resulting projects just felt wasteful imo. I do love when we get deep dive episodes on specific details that ended up being a part of a bigger project though! And these Saturday episodes have been a great addition too!
I would definitely love a Q&A with the sorry boys. I would like to know how they get along with the fact that their partners are celebs. They could also clue us on how much work you take home. I would love to know the stories of how you met, and how long you’ve been together.
I know that being expected to answer questions about kids is kind of icky, BUT I really appreciate the honest and real discussion about where you all land
Re: having kids and a response to Becky ->> Yasss, never putting our kids online. N-E-V-E-R. We aren't announcing kids, pregnancies, births, anything. No pics, not even baby pics. Nope nope nope. It makes me SO happy, Becky, that you voiced it, about putting kids online. Made my day, actually. (Though I'm catching up on videos VERY late lol.)
I miss the "Can we build if for less" series. Anthropology and Pottery Barn have some great pieces, but they are thousands of dollars!
Yes I agree. How to do it for less than the big expensive chain stores
sometimes DIY Danie does a 'can i buld it for less' and her solutions are really simple and brilliant
@@OrontesRM I love watching her too! - It's become a Saturday Morning routine.
i miss small diys. It feels like every content creator i loved now owns a house and renovates it, therefore almost zero small diy content :(
I agree😢
I like the big ones 😁👍
Miss the small dys too, I think It would be awesome to have a mix of videos 😄
I think there still is a mix though! Usually they are renovating their homes but at the same time doing small DIYs! You just gotta watch the entire video for the small diys within now which I am very happy about.
Yes
Simone biles recently talked about how she’s not answering the “what’s next” question right after she wins an Olympic medal because it doesn’t give her the opportunity to enjoy her win that she JUST had a minute ago like she JUST had an insane achievement why should she think about what’s next
She's so terrific!
The question that was inappropriately asked about "children evolving the channel" made my jaw drop. As a mom, *clears throat* CHILDREN ARE NOT AN AESTHETIC! Also, you do not exist for consumption.
SO inappropriate. Wanting/having kids vs not wanting/having is none of our business and this is not a lifestyle channel.
I always get so upset when I see those questions being asked. Not only is it not our business, but it could also be really damaging if the person might not be able to have kids or has miscarried. Also, why are those questions always directed at women?!? As if a woman's sole purpose is to be a baby-making factory.
Amen; when will people stop asking women if they have kids? It makes no difference to the askers life, they don't need to know that.
It's just so gross for people to even care about another human's reproduction. Especially the parasocial relationship kind.
Agreed! Kids are not a marketing tool but also as a mom of 3 I do need creativity designed affordable kids spaces that I would love for the Chanel to have some more family related spaces because I need help 😂
Idea for The Sorry Guys episode: I think it would be cool to have a discussion about how to merge different styles, especially when your partner has very strong opinions/ a lot of professional knowledge about design. You could rate different styles individually to show how different your sensibilities are, and then hear about how the guys get involved when you're designing for your own homes, where you have to keep in mind the other person's opinions. You touch on this when you're designing your own places, how to hold space for their tastes, but it would be nice to hear it straight from Austin and Elliot.
the thing I'd be most excited for with an AG+TSG collab is the ROCHY AND GRAHAM COLLAB!!!!!!!!!
YES🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼💯
YES!!!!!
This! 🤩
👀👀👀
yess ❤
That last question and Becky’s response is such a good message to finish on. So important. Like YES absolutely, we can stop two seconds and chill and be content with where we are, and we don’t always need to be thinking (and stressing) about what’s next!
exactlyyyy!!
Absolutely! Living in the moment…and enjoying it🙏💞
Roch running a small town hardware store and helping the locals with their projects sounds like a dream. And like a cozy TV show I'd totally watch.
I'm glad you talked about the not having kids topic, and I love that most of you are leaning to it, people need to understand that women don't necessarily want to be mothers, we're so much more than that and life has so much to offer to us with no kids.
Yes. And people who don't want kids don't take anything away from people who do. Everyone is valid in their lifestyle choices!
Also to all my fellow ladies worrying about biology's timeline when you yourself haven't decided yet, you can talk to your doctors about egg freezing! It's not always the best option (not a guarantee, can be expensive, does require a lot of hormones), but it's at least AN option to consider, and more and more companies are offering some sort of health insurance benefit to help offset or even fully cover the costs.
Personally, I feel that relationship status and whether people do or don't want to be parents is nobody's business but their own.
I wholeheartedly agree with you and appreciate the TSG talked about this. I struggled for a long time with “that’s not what I want but it’s what’s expected of me so I’d better get over it...” Hearing other women talk about this so honestly normalized my decision and made me so much less afraid of judgement.
Think the same here :) Thanks for talking about it and for "normalizing" that no, not all women want kids, and yes you can have a nice and fulfilling life as a human being/woman without having to procreate. Being asked constantly, when you are in your 30s and in a relationship, for when you plan on having kids is so annoying and put so much pressure on you, like something is wrong with you...
I feel less alone when others voice that no, it's probably not in their plans and that's actually okay.
New content idea: Reimagining your own spaces with a totally different design style or color scheme than you normally like. Ex. Becky shows a board/sketches of her living room in a shabby chic style, or Kelsey rethinks her dressing room in an industrial style. Basically adding a new constraint to one of your spaces but make it work so it's still "you" and you'd like to live there.
The Rochelle singing montage was EVERYTHING 😂😂😂😂. And for Tuesdays, I loved the roulette game (bring it back plz) ❤
Lovveeed this video! And I love your honesty and openness. I really like how the channel is evolving and changing. Such creativity. Plus The Sorry Boys?? YESSSS!!!!
Thank you sooo much😁🤭
I got so excited when Rochelle said "I'm mostly okay" I love watching Amanda the Jedi!
Yes I love episodes with Austin and Elliott! Those hotel room make over couple vs couple were great and I think they bring a fun quirk to the show when they make surprise visits :) it’s so awesome to see you both have a partner be so supportive and helpful too
I really appreciate you all being willing to answer the children question! It is such a deeply personal topic, but because we are starting to break away from the expectation and norm, I love to hear other women talk about their perspective now that alternative family structures are more widely accepted. Personally, I know that I've always wanted children, but I love to hear other women talk about their feelings on if/when they have children of their own. It's such a big and incredibly personal decision and while nobody is obligated to talk about their feelings about it, I greatly appreciate when people do because it helps continue forging the path ahead around the topic of leaving the choice open. Always great content!💕
I think it is a testament to you having made some really good decisions that you don’t have to be the bossy boss very often. I don’t think you’re hiring people who don’t show up for work or are late all the time. That is a really useful skill, and if you say you’re able to work with your staff 90% of the time as if you are friends that means you have that skill. I’m sure that, like you said, it has a lot to do with the fact that everyone cares about what you’re putting out. They just sound like really easy people to work with, and part of that is down to good hiring and part of it is just down to good people.
Exactly!😁
Did Rochelle just say her fantasy is to live in StarsHollow? 😂
😂😂😂
That is exactly where my mind went 😅
Oh I would love to recommend a cozy fantasy book for her, it's called Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldri.
Becky’s answer to the last question is spot on. The majority of our lives are spent in the day to day and it’s so important to appreciate and reflect in the present. Not enough people have this wisdom.
I think the reason the clickbait title bothered a lot of viewers is because we feel like TSG is a more authentic place than others on YT “just playing the numbers game”. We get it, but it felt off brand for TSG.
Yes exactly this. I was so thrown off by that post, and it was disappointing. I know I'm just one random viewer and my clicks don't matter, but it just felt so opposite to what TSG have always been about
@@miss.sheabug.studios Same. I've been watching this channel for so long I almost felt personally insulted. lol I think they got the message.
Exactly
Also it was more than the title. There was also a purposefully misleading post and stories on IG leading to the video going live. And it was following the news that Rachel was only part time just a few weeks prior.
@@michellemorales exactly. And them just "addressing" it by saying "we all talked about it before we posted it" was even more disappointing lol
For having the “Sorry Boys” on, you should do - I think it was the newly wed game? - but girls answer questions ahead of time, then boys are asked the same questions, but they have to write what they think their girl answered :). It would be fun to see if they can pick out your style taste. Oo! OR girls style a shelf, picture is taken, shelf is unstyled, boys have to try and style the shelf agin as close as possible to what their girl might have done. I think it would be fun! :)
I loved this video ❤ As a fellow ADHD-er, all of that is sooo relatable, Rachel 😂 Also really appreciate the candidness around having or not having kids. Also in my 30s and it always feel so invasive when people ask me about marriage or kids. We all have different life goals.
So happy you enjoyed the watch😊
Absolutely!
Honestly, apart from all projects and stuff, your business and how you seem to run it really inspires me. Many channels I watched have disappeared years ago, -and I respect them all- I know how hard it is to keep it sustainable, as well as personal stuff that might've happened.
You girls trying to keep boundaries, renew yourself, take lessons and honestly communicate -after all these years- to create a sustainable business is giving me hope on a similar path. I personally connect with knowing how people love big projects and they do feel so fulfilling, however they are so taxing and complicated to do so often. So I love the solution you've found with "from the workshop floor", I love it, many people seem to love it, that's great! It seems a few of my favorite creators have also chosen a more straightforward and conversation based content to fill that gap, like livestreams... Anyway, this gave me a few ideas and more hope... I'm wishing you the best, have a nice day! •ɞ•
We really appreciate you saying this, thank you so much❤
becky is a really good speaker
Thanks for picking up my question. It is good that TSG team handled well for "TitleGate".
Update: Women have the choice to have kids or not. TSG team is all working hard for their home not because they want to have kids. It is because they want to improve their living place, and their DIY skills, and create what we like to watch.
AND PLEASE BRING BACK "THAT COST HOW MUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCH" series.
I loved the rapid fire. A whole episode of rapid fire answers with leisurely exploration of the backstories with accompany-ing video clips. A challenge and a shout out to the editors too. While it is nice to include the audience questions, your team has a unique perspective, sensitivity and humour for coming up with the questions. It is exciting when the questions come in without the SG's prior knowledge. EEEEE!
You could have the guys talk bout there perspective on The Sorry Girls, maybe do a mini challenge where you build something with them, have a little q&a session with them, maybe just sit and talk about anything and everything.
“What’s it like living with a sorry girl”
Ladies, be proud of yourself! From two to an entire team, so many years with great content, is not easy. What I love the most is that you evolved but remained humble and down to earth. Changes are organic and will not satisfy everyone because everything is subjective when it is about taste and preferences. Keep the passion in everything you do!❤❤❤
Thank you so much! That means a lot❤️❤️❤️
I have been watching y’all for years at this point and am so grateful to you all for how you answered the kids question. It’s no one’s business but you each answered it with such grace and honesty and I thank you for that. You’re role models in the workplace and with your personal lives and I’m so happy to have found you all ❤
I really appreciate you all taking a moment to properly and sensitively address the kids question. For some it might be an easy question, but others (like me) feel a lot of pressure around these kinds of questions. For me, I just don't know if I want kids and don't really like them, but I do feel the time limit for making this decision. Especially as I'm getting older, I get asked this question a lot and people try to convince me that I'll eventually change my mind and will want kids when I say I don't know. So thanks for lifting some of the pressure ❤
Society places pressure on women to get married and have kids, but I've noticed that those who push this expectation don't always seem genuinely happy themselves. Maybe they are sometimes, but that’s life. I believe people should just mind their own damn business lol
Love the conversation about kids. We (women and folks able to concieve) don't owe anyone anything! Ya'll voiced a lot of things that I've always felt - thank you!
I'm going to throw out another request for more Anneliese content! I LOVED seeing Kelsey and even Becky in the Okanagan re-doing some of Anneliese's cabins! I thought the couples' challenge was so fun! And that location brings ALL the summer vibes imo. 😉❤️
I think it’d be so cool and get great views to see Elliot and Austin do a shorter makeover together.
YESS
Yeah but that's not their jobs is it- they just happen to be with Sorry Girls
That Elliot gets on my last nerve. Sorry.
Yess!!
This has been my favorite episode of the Workshop Floor so far! All four of your individual personalities really shone through. I also loved how you addressed the kids/pregnancy question. I would enjoy hearing more from you regarding more “serious”/unrelated comments. Like, opinions of children and internet, thoughts of how UA-cam as a platform has changed, etc. Again, really great job with this one. ❤
I miss “this costs how much??”
Please bring this back!!!
I think the kids question is something that not everyone understands as inappropriate. In some cultures it is the way of life to think this comes next, but I think I'd rather someone not have kids because it is expected, but rather because they truly want them. I get asked almost by everyone when I visit my in-laws' country. Which is not great, because while me and my husband been together for a long time, just like Becky and Austin, we want to wait because we just want to live our own life for now. Apparently it is now to the point people are gossiping that we can't have kids! I am not even 30 yet, it is so so silly.
Rochelle's fantasy dream life/job sounds so perfect!! It screams Gilmore Girl vibes in a good way. Or even Schitt's Creek, I can just picture it so well.
Long time viewer. I’m 41 . I didn’t feel the urge to have kids til 37 and I’m the happiest mother in the world now . I guess I’ve always been curious about what you would do next but that’s out of a place of love and interest in your crew . I would have never dreamed to ask though bc I watch your content bc it brings me joy . Thanks for sharing but it’s never expected. ❤
"Thanks for sharing but never expected" love this, facts🤌
I wouldn't mind some Sorry Dogs and Sorry Cats content!
Oh yes, so cute, with DIY cat trees maybe?? I got so excited when when Rachel talked about turning the column in her apartment into a climbing pole.
Yes, that would be awesome!
Yes Rochelle! The hardware store, cafe, bnb spounds like a beautiful dream!
This was a really lovely Q & A episode. I know it must be difficult to answer personal questions to a bunch of strangers on the internet. Thank you, ladies, for sharing your personal sides with us. I really love the message of empowerment, appreciating what you've accomplished & taking the time to enjoy it & lastly sharing the different aspects to running a successful UA-cam channel. It truly takes a village to make it run successfully. Well done to the whole TSG team. Whether you are in front of the camera or not, your hard work shows, and your viewers appreciate you!
Gotta echo what other followers have posted and say please bring back “That Costs How Much??!!” You all killed it with that series.
I want the boy to decorate a space with zero input from the girls haha!!! Now that would be a great video!!
Hahahahah I don’t know about that😅
Seeing the emotion and frankness about the kid topic was very moving & appreciated. My husband and I had to make the hard choice to not have kids recently due to the political & financial climate where we live. Maybe someday that can change, but in the meantime every time anyone asks I get so sad. I cannot imagine being asked over & over in the comments. Thank you for addressing this, bc it’s not appropriate to ask, and I hope your audience is understanding. ❤
Kelsey I love the way you stood up for women and clapped back at that comment about 'when are you having kids'. I never comment on videos but the whole teams answer to that question made me so happy!! I just really appreciate the realness with you all! It's really great you guys open up your lives but it's insane people think they can't say whatever they want. And also that they would assume they can't get access to everything in your lives. Been watching you guys for well over ten years and just really adore you two, and now you four
I think what we, regular viewers who felt slighted by the "PPP clickbait scandal", were looking for was just an apology and acknowledgement that it was a cheap tactic. That's all. Thank you for this fun lil' Q+A, it was great to hear some of the goings-ons, hints at future project, "sorry boys" video idea, etc!
I have left strong comments in the past and I still watch your channel. This was very interesting and insightful. I think any questions or comments about babies, bodies or boyfriends are really out of bounds. I’m sorry you have had comments like that. Mostly, I have issues when the content is repetitive, or it seems like filler or the outcome is sloppy and is a waste of viewers time. I think intention is so important and that is why I loved Rachel’s project series and Rochelle’s woodworking projects. They have goals and achievable outcomes. I loved Becky’s Robot video and I love Kelsey’s focus on sustainability. The reason I watch your channel is to learn new skills or diy techniques. I have worked in both nonprofit and corporate environments, from grassroots to international. I think it’s amazing that you’ve been pioneers in the UA-cam arena. It’s a real mix of having authentic content, personality, and entertainment. That’s really difficult and complex. I think telling viewers that you’re evolving was really smart and talking about your video process was very insightful.
Becky’s last answer was just beautiful to hear. Keep up the amazing work TSG team. Love this new series! 💜
Would love to see a sorry guy episode. I’m looking forward to VW camper episodes. Where my family goes camping. This summer we had five or six vow campers around us. They’re freaking adorable. People need to stop on asking about. You guys having children. As someone who is unable to have children. I believe that is a stepping over the line question. Rochelle I also love being an aunt and great aunt. You all are awesome.
Thank you so much!❤ and hopefully a VW camper vlog coming soon🤭
Ty for talking about ADHD struggles. everyone having the head space to to be so mindful of each other really gave me a calming effect deep in my chest. ❤
Idea for The Sorry Guys episode: Who knows The Sorry Girls the most? So maybe ask questions on who made x or which of these examples (pictures of things where one is made by The Sorry Girls) have we made etc
it would be so much fun to see a vlog type of video of just like the process with all the brainstorming and all the stages content goes trough and to see more of the team!
WE NEED MORE MINIATURE ROOM CONTENT!!!!!! i absolutely loved kelsey’s first one using the hole in the wall
Rochelle bringing up safety, such a moment
I agree with you ladies on the work life balance and taking your time to enjoy the journey, not rushing to cram more and more in and burn yourselves out. This coming from somebody who burnt out in 2015 from taking on too much and being stressed and not having the time or energy to take care of myself, I got sick and never recovered, to this day I’m chronically ill and housebound because my body just can’t recover. Think permanent covid lockdown since 2015, but also mostly reclined on bed or sofa because no energy to function normally. Rest and balance is so important. You’re doing great! 👍🏼
I think a fun boys video would be having them do a challenge using their opposite gifts/diy skills. Austin seems more handy vs Elliot is a great cook. See how they fare doing both and the sgt/instagram polls gets to decide the winner, or it can just be fun without the competition if that might create tension? It would be cool to highlight their creative outlets too!
They could make a tutorial for the other to follow?
Why I said Kelsey is the most millennial coded: the amount of times she has referenced memes out loud in videos.
Becky, Rochelle and rachel boost each other up so much it’s lovely to see ☺️
This was so much fun. It's lovely finding out about each of you personally (as much as you want to share only), and it makes your other videos feel more personal. Thanks ladies.
Seeing Rochelle's response to "the kids question" was so refreshing and validating. Thank you for shouting out the childfree community!! 💛✨
Idea for the sorry boys episode, or for any episode,
Flip off
The two couples complete a furniture flip together in a competition. Maybe sell them see who makes more like flea market flip
my favourite part of this Q/A was the personal q's. i think its cause we get to see the girls professionally so its just so nice to be able to get private and personal with them too, esp since ive been watching them for ages and they've turned into my comfort ytbers now
As much as you don't want to answer what's next, the inception of this series has been a very refreshing change. Love your channel even more now!
Just want to say I respect yall so much for your candor around the kids question. You didn’t have to do it and you did it SO WELL.
I love it if you have bigger makeovers every other week and the off weeks more detailed “tutorials” on the DIY projects in the makeovers.
I love Rochelle's and Kelsey's take on kids. Because I am exactly like Rochelle and definitely a lot firmer than how she phrased it, and Kelsey saying she is selfish is not a bad thing. It takes an incredibly selfless person to be a parent and not enough people think this decision through more! OH SORRY BOYS CONTENT! Maybe like a DIY Christmas/ birthday/ anniversary etc present? I lovedddddd it when Austin filmed the gate tutorial by himself, very wholesome content we stannnn
I’m totally here for a Sorry Boys segment - they’re both so cool and funny and I think having them build stuff or design some cool man caves might be awesome! 😎
Rochy’s hardware store could be called “Bed, Breakfast and Beyond” 🤣☺️
Hey y’all, been following TSG for almost a decade now, and I love hearing you all reflect on your journey and potentially what’s next! Thank you for always being your authentic selves and creating such a welcoming space on your channel. I would also LOVE to see a couples’ challenge with The Sorry Boys one day! Something like a version of Design or Conquer could be fun haha
To answer your question Kelsey, I am a bit ashamed to say that I'm really satisfied with the kids question. Tbh, I have always wondered - not because it matters, but just because I (and probably other viewers) feel like you ladies are our friends and we are connected to you!! (in our minds hahah). I'm around the same age as you, at the same point in my life, living in Toronto, DIYing my way through it...etc. Becky's answer could have come straight out of my mouth! 100% on point with what I'm thinking today. Really just makes me feel like I'm not the only one out there that thinks this way! Thanks for opening up ❤
Yes exactly! When you watch people's videos for years you feel a connection to them , like they are your friends even though they have no idea you existed 😂 and you just wonder about their lives as you would your own real life friends. It's natural to wonder and be curious. Im definitely not condoning people who ask rudely like they are entitled to your personal life though.
Becky, exactly, you've made it!! Enjoy it, Sorry Team! Glad you're mostly OK too. ❤
You could do a couples challenge with a smaller diy project. And anser some questions people might have for Austin and Elliot, regarding how to incorporate two peoples opinions in designing a home. Or how its living with a sorry girl etc.
I am a parent, and I am interested in DIYs for kids. I'm sure a lot of your OG fans are as well. There are ways to make parent DIYs without having to become parents yourselves. Getting time to DIY as a parent is difficult, and having help from skilled friends and family members is immensely appreciated. It's a good idea to have an experienced parent's eyes on a design for kids to point out any red flags.
Rachel the ADHD thing is the most relatable thing I've heard 😂 I have ADHD and honestly have about 6 tasks on the go right now 😂❤
glad you relate😂❤
You guys HAVE made it and you should very much be proud of yourselves. You are inspirational!
Becky’s response on children was beautifully said
Love this episode. Learning a bit more about your personal choices, but mainly about the progress that you made and the stuff that happens behind the scenes is really nice! Also the kids part, you handled that very well and I totally agree with you. It is very disrespectful to just assume that you want to have kids, we as woman can make different choices and all of them are totally okay and amazing.
Bring the boys on! And you should all be proud of where you are as a team and individually, take time to reflect and chill! Love the whole team.
as a young mother (first kiddo at 22) the talk about motherhood and having children was such an amazing conversation. Got a little emotional watching 🫶🏻 love you ladies!!!
happy you enjoyed🤗
This was such a refreshing, nuanced conversation. You girls are alright. ❤
For some reason, I miss the “upgrade my stay” series so much. I have no idea if they will do something like that nor do I want them desperately to create that again but I'm not gonna lie my heart will smile to see another episode of that series.
We love the sorry boys!! I especially love when Austin or Elliot do something for you guys. My favourite episode ever is when Austin makes like a gate for Becky?? He is so funny and good on camera I think!
Although it is not anyone’s business whether you plan to have a family-consider that your subscribers/viewers care about you! It is a good thing. I am enjoying your content. Keep up the good work.
What if it hurts the SG's feelings? Do people care about that?
Yesss Becky “we’ve made it!” So true and glad you are soaking in all you guys have accomplished!
Respectfully, I have always thought that the Sorry Girls could hide an entire pregnancy and children because I also have feelings on sharing children online and thought you all could share the same values. Have been a viewer for over 10 years and love watching you all grow 💕
I am so here for a Sorry Boys Challenge! Maybe pair couples off or have the boys play against each other actually building things (like a that costs how much!!!), designing a small set room (digital?). All the while they have to answer questions in the middle of said timed challenge 😂
I've watched your channel I believe almost from the beginning and am as proud as if you were my own girls. Never did I think from the beginning that you would be as successful as you are. Keep doing what you're doing because it's obviously working..
I love your honest and real answers. Been a long time follower and you have evolved without losing your individual personalities. Best to you all💜
For the Sorry Boys you should do a DIY challenge girls vs. boys a photo with a piece of decor and time limit for who can get the closest in a set time!! Maybe the production team could randomly throw in wild card handicaps for Kelsey and Becky to make it more fair
what a great episode! The reason why some of us are sad that there are less Tuesday episodes is that so far there has been little communication about long term schedule changes. Since you said you have the rest of the year planned, could you give us some insights? Something like, (almost) every Saturday a video and then 1-2 videos per month on a Tuesday? I'd personally would rather have you say "Saturday every/every other week and then sometimes on Tuesday" than to check UA-cam on Tuesday evening and see, that there is no new video, again.
Thank you for all the years of teaching and entertaining so far, I am looking forward to seeing what else is to come!
I would love to see a video with Austin and Elliot rating the diys Kelsey and Becky have done around theirs homes!
Ideas: Austin /Elliot vid newlywed game (you've already have the dry erase boards) & viewer questions for them while Kelsey & Becky can't hear them off scene, as a 61 yr old I appreciate the candor helping me understand the young women of today, been a sub since Kelsey lived in the loft, luv u girls
Rochelle, I 100% agree with that knowledge from the age of 12 that you didn’t’ see yourself having children. When I was little, my cousins’ Barbies had kids and white picket fences. My Barbie traveled the world and had two dogs. I was like 8 years old when I wrote that story. I’m 47 now and am a step-mom (as of 2020) and I’m now a mom but … I knew forever. I just related hard core to your statement. Thank you all for being so honest. Love the channel.
I love From the Workshop Floor so much. For me it feels like videos are coming out more frequently. We get to see all of you more often which is something I’ve read people have wanted for a while in comments. Specifically all of you together, but I’ve absolutely loved having people like Anne and Nina on as well.
The bigger makeovers are definitely what I’m here for as well as I love a good before and after, but also the smaller projects have been fun to see as well - like items that have been made for a larger project. Overall love the current video schedule!
Yaayyy🎉 so happy to hear this, we appreciate ❤
I've noticed that TSG has been focusing on bigger projects recently, and I'm honestly a big fan! I never loved the episodes that seemed to be filmed just for filler, and the resulting projects just felt wasteful imo. I do love when we get deep dive episodes on specific details that ended up being a part of a bigger project though! And these Saturday episodes have been a great addition too!
Sustainable design sounds like a great series
I would definitely love a Q&A with the sorry boys. I would like to know how they get along with the fact that their partners are celebs. They could also clue us on how much work you take home. I would love to know the stories of how you met, and how long you’ve been together.
Mother of 2 here: it's not selfish to not want kids. It's totally fine and I wish we could just be happy with how people chose to live.
Why do I love these Saturday morning videos so much? They just feel so easy and fun to watch as a special weekend treat.
I know that being expected to answer questions about kids is kind of icky, BUT I really appreciate the honest and real discussion about where you all land
I am sick in bed with Covid, so catching up. Now I can’t breathe thinking about y’all and AG! OMG! I literally can’t wait!❤
Re: having kids and a response to Becky ->> Yasss, never putting our kids online. N-E-V-E-R. We aren't announcing kids, pregnancies, births, anything. No pics, not even baby pics. Nope nope nope. It makes me SO happy, Becky, that you voiced it, about putting kids online. Made my day, actually. (Though I'm catching up on videos VERY late lol.)
